Nice having you back onboard the platform. Seems you went back to your drawing board to re-strategies for the task ahead. You have done absolutely well mapping out your point of focus. As I can see you now have a better interface with numerous output for your potential customers and bettors. I see where somewhere $1 was mentioned, I would want to know your minimum bet fee and withdrawal. If I may ask how swift is your customer care service to responding to urgent attention.

I see you give $2 to members wether they win or not. If I may ask from where do you make such budget from. Is it possible that such policy be sustainable for a long term. If yes how do you go about it. I w am curious about This particular aspect because you can not tell us that if it happens that you have a million number of registered members onboard your casino you would give them all $2 from where do you get that funds from. I am curious because it sounds funny though.

I don't see it different with other lotteries in other countries,

(a) still based on pure luck
(b) if this is under the government regulated lottery, then they will have to pay the winner

So not sure how they are going to rigged it, again here in our country it will be supervised and then show in live tv what numbers are drawn.

Lotteries and every betting site is being run on trust, which is why the lotteries should show transparency and trustworthiness if there are reports of rigging the game they will support and many wills opted not to bet, like in your country, our country is also supervising the lottery draw because the government-owned and run the lottery it also televised with an independent panel of observant, the drawing is above suspicious 30% of the profit of the lottery goes to the government coffer that supports the health system and this is a huge amount, so they make it a point not to lose support from the bettors.

If you talk of trust, there are just few of them that are reliable and trustworthy to deal with. The most of them is winz.io. Transparency is what bettors look at when placing a bet or identifying with your casino. Your credibility is what attracts more participants which in the long run increase the numbers of traffic on your website.

Lotteries are mostly looked into buy government because they benefit hugely from it irrespective of where it is located. I just realized owners of casinos and gambling operating nation's are most at the ghetto areas because they make heavily there without much interference on their behalf government.
3043  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: December 08, 2022, 03:08:04 PM

All this discussion makes me think badly of the site, at one point I didn't create an account here at cloudbet, but I read so many things that I'm scared to deposit here, this casino has a long time and the only reason it has gone bad is that they have come, changed hands or something like that so that everyone is talking like that, my question is: Is it reliable or not? I see new accounts in the forum and they speak as if the had other accounts in the forum, and those are things that make us doubt, some say that it is reliable, I don't know what to think.
If a friend asks me about this casino, or how it works and if it is legal, she would have serious doubts to answer.


The casino is legal, it has a license and it has been operating for 9 years. If the casino had problems, it would have closed long ago. Another thing is that due to the large number of players, there may be dissatisfied players. There are always players in all casinos who are dissatisfied with them. After all, no one wants to lose their money in a casino.

I have noted that many old casino with many users have very lazy support.
It is necessary to wait a lot. That is why it is better to pass verification and read the terms of use not to have any problems and not to ask support.

That's the real problem there and they need to realize that there costumers are pissed off towards this laziness they do in terms of answering some queries or even solving issues. If they have slow or unresponsive support I guess you need to move on the next platform which have active support since we always have a choice and to many casino offers what they have here. Its so nonsense to anyone to stay on a casino if they feel uncomfortable on issues they encounter or experience.

Customer care service is another arm or wing of a company or organization. The Swift response to issues or matters when customers are in need of urgent help and need immediate response is a major focal point.  This is a major factor that somehow attracts customer. I have been able to do a survey on customer care and I came to realize that many people left patronizing their regular vendors to another because of their customer service. This gave me an insight of a better management skills to look more into customer services as a priority so as to satisfy them properly because without them theirs no business and money  to run and maintain their services. So therefore, every casino should be able to look into their customer services or else they tend to loose more customers because nobody wants to waste his or her time waiting for customer service that is most responsive in time. They would rather take the next platform than wasting their precious time.
3044  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What should be my fear? on: December 08, 2022, 01:28:44 PM
The fear of the unknown market was the major reason why  you were asked to invest what  you know you can afford to loose. Bitcoin was initially invented by Satoshi Nakamoto to be a currency in its own alone which would be used for transaction or invariably payment for goods and services rendered but however, people turned it to an investment which became the norm about Bitcoin. Since then people thinking Bitcoin is for investment purpose which is contrary to the invention.

Back to your question of what should be your fear. There are lots of things you should know about Bitcoin before purchasing it. At first you should know that the Bitcoin market is volatile of which you know what it means being volatile. You should be able to know that the funds you are using to purchase Bitcoin should be what you can afford to loose but be it as it may, if you are buying to hold for a long time, there is no issue as you can hodle it for a long time till you get your profit.  Lastly, you alone should  know that only you should have access to your own wallet hence the slogan you always hear or see onboard this platform " not your keys not your coin" key your key phrase safe to protect your assets.

This looks fishy. Looking at your rank on the platform you are a new bie here with your first posting referring platform participants to link or connect their metamask wallet address to your website.

SCAM ALERT!!!!

Run away from that website with your dear precious hard earned funds and assets or you loose your funds. No body should attempt linking or clicking on that site for their own safety.

I checked the website and this was what I found out;


I know you have already seen it  as uploaded before but to clear the doubt I had to upload it again. I checked the website  to see for myself and this was what I found above.
 
OP you did not say anything about the website as means of introduction to know about the site and what it is all about. What you quickly did was to put up this post for participants to click and fall prey of a suspicious scam site suspected to be  hackers.

You do not need any sooth Sayer to tell you what to do. Save  yourself some stress and be at alert.

Scammers everywhere! Be warned!
3046  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin no longer be Bitcoin if it were adopted by everyone in the world ? on: December 07, 2022, 11:10:55 AM
Assume one day, Bitcoin would be the only survivor as cryptocurrency in the world and each individual, company, organization and goverment would abandon all fiats/currencies and take Bitcoin as the only payment. When all obstacles were gone, Bitcoin would actually become a combination of both fiat and investment asset. However, as demand and supply were not to fluctuate much, the price of Bitcoin would be really stable and the value of investment would deteriorate. The two factors/purposes (fiat vs investment asset) will be contradicting each other all the time. If that happened, what's the point of making Bitcoin worldwide acceptable while losing its value and nature of Bitcoin ?  Metaphorically speaking, the hunting dog may be killed when all prey animals are gone.

What is your opinion ? Please let me know. Thanks.

Irrespective of the growing global adoption, Bitcoin was invented for a purpose and for that purpose it would accomplish despite the challenges facing with government and other financial agencies from allowing it being adopted in their various nations. I see all these as a big solution to faster and rapid adoption of bitcoin when the time comes. Talking about bitcoin changing to another when it will be massively adopted, i doubt so if it would ever change its name or function contrary to the sole reasons for which it was invented.  Come to talk of it, what aspect of change are you referring to, are you referring to change in name or change in its function for which it was created? Well either way, i do not see any changes. If there would be any changes, it might likely be in functions and not name.

Like one of the reply here says
 
Satoshi created bitcoin intending to replace the centralized fiat system, meaning bitcoin is designed as a currency and not an investment asset. But people turned bitcoin into an investment and spread it to the next generations, and now most people only know bitcoin as an investment rather than a currency.
As you can see it above that is all the situation now and if there is any change you are referring to, it simply or likely as the quote above.
Talking of fiat, i really doubt if the government of various nations would allow it fade away just like that. Each and every nation has their own currency independent of any nation so how do you think  for instance,  American would want to do away with their dollar and opt for bitcoin as a legal tender? do you think European Nation would also do same? the hell no way. These nations would want to protect their  sovereign interest.

Gates of Olympus, also known as Grandpa Zeus slots or Olympus slots, is a slot game released by Pragmatic Play that is the most popular in my country. Grandpa Zeus slots are one of the most popular games released by Pragmatic Play. This game with the theme of Greek gods and goddesses, especially the god Zeus, has very charming graphics. If you try the Olympus game as the main online game, there are many things you should know.
1. Symbol: The shape of the symbol that will appear in the Olympus slot Amount
2. Symbol: The number of symbols that must appear in one turn of the duck slot to get a win
3. Multiples of Winning: The number of multiples of the bet used that you will win my question here
 
1 Do you have games like in my country in your country

2, is this game easier than what I imagined?

This post looks more of an advertisement which you are trying to do. Are you covering up something so we could just do the guess work or what.  I suggest you come up plain with elaborate explanations. I see you are a new bee on board the platform which tells more of your existence here. You should go register for a copper member account so you could do some pictorial upload for your advertisement. Maybe that would explain More better your project for clarity as what you have written does not communicate anything. I think Zeus be as the name implies would be a good idea and a nice one to Start with. Why not put it straight to us of your game casino if it be that way rather than all these.
3049  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Nigerian government set to tax bitcoin and crypto transactions on: December 06, 2022, 09:22:14 PM
The Nigeria government we know are never tired of wanting something out of nothing. The government policies so far we have known are nothing but a cashcow memorandum. I think they delving into regulations as regards blockchain and taxation of Crypto currencies are just a way forward to control and monitor transactions. Passing or voting of bill into law makes no sense as the citizens already have their ways in doing their things. I just believe the  government are wallowing in their very own shadows trying to meet up with their citizens whom are far ahead of them. Regulations and taxation on Crypto currencies makes no difference . However be the case, it is a situation of salvaging circumstances so as not to be left behind as it is already seen that their citizens do not bother about the government actions and inactions towards their economy and blockchain to be precise.
3050  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two Bitcoin Stories from the AfroBitcoin Conference in Ghana 2022 on: December 06, 2022, 08:31:08 PM
So the first Africa Bitcoin Conference is holding in Ghana currently. Some of the speakers at the conference include Jack Dorsey, Ray Youssef, Obinna Nwosu, Alex Gladstein, Mike Brock, Fadi Elsalameen and a host of others. Today is day 2.

In the third panel discussion, various speakers (Roya Al Mahboob,  Meron Estefanos, Leopoldo Lopez) told stories of how bitcoin is serving as a strategic tool for civil resistance. That is, activists are using bitcoin to get over financial repression and fight political tyranny all across the world. The two stories that stood out for me are those of Roya Al Mahboob, and Meron Estefanos. I'll share a summary below.

  • Meron Estefanos is a refugee advocate. She shared a story how just last week an Eritean refugee was kidnapped in Sudan and was about to be sold to Libyans. The ransom was about $40,000. But if they were able to pay for the person before in Sudan before he gets transferred it was going to be $5000. She only had an hour and half(1hour 30minutes). So what she did was to find someone in Sudan who was willing to pay the ransom in person. She went on to train the person on how to receive bitcoin, and how to exchange it. Within an hour and half(1hour 30minutes) they were able to do it and the person was released.

  • Roya Al Mahboob, an Afghan tech entrepreneur and activist shared her story of the challenges that Afghan women face becasue the political structure prevents them from obtaining education and competent employment. To systematically fight against this, she  founded a training school where Afghan women are trained in software development, they are given jobs, she set up bitcoin addresses for them to get paid with bitcoin. In Afghanistan, a woman usually needs a man's help to open a bank account—perhaps her father or brother but bitcoin has bypassed that.

Do you have stories of how bitcoin in used in fighting oppressive governments, please share

Thank you.






There is always a Bitcoin story and experience everyone would want to tell. I believe these are the stories that warrants the government being afraid of the emergent and existence of Bitcoin. With Bitcoin the masses would not be oppressed anymore. Bitcoin just caused financial revolution in the economy.  Since it's inception, lots of activities have  been going on without any trace.
 
This is not only the issue of fighting oppresive government, let us also look  at  liberation and financial freedom,  boarderless transactions, privacy, third party interference, faster transfer all these put together Bitcoin has surpassed.  Bitcoin emerged as the beginning of financial revolution to mankind.
3051  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One Month of Accepting Bitcoin for Payment on: December 06, 2022, 01:12:12 PM
This a welcome development. I have actually been on this movement for quite a long time and as God may have it, it has been fruitful and successful. I was able to on-board skilled and unskilled, mini-vendors and traders. It gives me joy to see that Bitcoin adoption is fast rising and gaining  attention it requires globally. If you check my profile you will some few of the vendors that accepts bitcoin in my locality which i thought and showed them how the system works. If as you have done this, you take it to your locality using yourself as a case study, believe me you, the turn up would be very encouraging and more business vendors would want to follow your step in accepting bitcoin as you have done and gradually, the spread will be like wide fire which would become uncontrollable. You have done well OP in accepting bitcoin as a means of payment. I believe your customers those that are yet to know about bitcoin would definitely ask you about it when they see it and this would also lead to more people on-board the system.
3052  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Now is the perfect time to invest in Bitcoin on: December 06, 2022, 07:40:13 AM
The price of Bitcoin increased drastically in late 2020 and early 2021. The price of Bitcoin touched about 72k dollars.But from there the price has come down to its lowest level.




Bitcoin price is currently 19302 dollars but the possibility of Bitcoin price increase from here is very high.And I think Bitcoin price in 2023 Chances of reaching $100,000 per year are very high so if one wants to invest then now is the best time to invest in Bitcoin.

If you invest at this time then you will definitely be able to reap huge benefits as I believe that Bitcoin price will increase greatly by 2023.

Currently now, Bitcoin is far below this price as you have stated. I believe strong hands and smart investor would be at the top and bottom buying because it is at it's lowest currently and likely might go below this price depending on factors surrounding the market. Those looking for where to invest can as well do the needful by investing what they can afford to loose at any point in time but we all know it will bounce back in future as we can not currently predict the market as it is. Anyone investing in Bitcoin now should see it as a long time investment because currently it is better to hold for a long time than watching the market as a new investor otherwise, you will be tempted to selloff which might likely lead you to making loss if you do not control yourself seeing the market.

3055  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Phase two(2) : Bitcoin Promotion and Adoption in my locality. on: December 04, 2022, 10:25:01 PM
This is one of the many biggest voluntary actions an individual can do to help Bitcoin adoption, by this way we can share how Bitcoin works, or even there are some people who will see the poster and they don't have any idea what Bitcoin is, they will start to become curious and start exploring Bitcoin.

Kudos to the OP for this. Even though this is a kindly small act, it's already huge exposure to the Bitcoin community.

I have been on this course for quite some time now. Sincerely speaking, it is not as easy as you think.  People's tend to get clearity as per your conversation with them you know but I try my possible best to enlighten and educate them properly. I took this upon myself because I have seen the worth of it and the goal of Satoshi is to make sure each and every nook and cranny gets to know and hear about Bitcoin which is the new financial freedom and breakaway from oppression and poverty. I have learnt a lot from the system. Some one brought me here and I learnt about it more from my research so I owe the society this by giving back to the society in this very own little way of mine.

Nevertheless, i give or teach them the basic fundamentals and how it works. I have been on this for sometime   and I am achieving my goals in that regards.
3056  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Will there ever be any safe centralised exchange ? on: December 04, 2022, 01:50:33 PM
Personally none of them anymore. It’s an obvious reason that centralized exchanges are not meant to be trusted by us since they will only take advantage of our funds and use them for their own progress just like what centralized banks did to our deposits and let others borrow it so they can grow their own business while leaving our money with just a very little interest. So sad that a lot of people have been blind on that and until today, people are still trusting centralized exchanges even after the scandalous event of FTX.

I think we can trust some reputable centralized exchanges of their service.  Reason why despite the risk we still conduct trading on their platform.  But trusting and being safe is different.  Centralized exchanges can be a safe trading platform but not a safe platform to keep our coins due to possible hacks and exploits that can cause the fund of exchanges drained.  So it is best to just use the service as it intended to be than using it beyond its service description.

You can do trust some exchanges but not all will do so anymore. Fine we can trade on those exchanges which is for sure a guided one but certainly not. We can not trust them anymore with our assets and funds. We have learnt enough lessons to open our eyes this time. Third party exchanges will find it difficult this time to gather assets and funds from investors to hold. I do not know about others but for sure I know about myself that I am no more comfortable with the happenings with them. The hacks, the carelessness and misappropriation of funds and assets it is not worth the risk holding with them anymore. I strongly believe most of the incidents going on with these exchanges are likely stage managed so as to cover up lapses on their path. Come to talk of it, they are likely the arm of government on blockchain that checkmate activities via regulation proxy. They steal our identity in the name of kyc only God knows why and what they use it for all in the disguise of international laws and so on.
3057  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Strong Hands Are Buying on: December 03, 2022, 06:42:38 PM
This is the biggest opportunity for anyone to buy BTC. BTC has an inflation rate lower than gold and it will continue to drop after the next halving and future halvings. I am forever grateful to be in this space. I am a step ahead.

The price of bitcoin dropped from $69,000 to $16,000.  This is a very strong drop in the price of bitcoin. 

However, are there any fundamental reasons for the fall in the price of the first cryptocurrency? 

Certainly, there are some reasons...

Recently, the pressure of state regulators on cryptocurrencies (and bitcoin, in particular) has increased.  There are accusations against Bitcoin that the impact of its mining on the global ecology is negative. 

However, such accusations are largely manipulative in nature.  Bitcoin is a very promising financial asset.  This decentralized protocol for the transfer of value in the virtual space is of great fundamental importance for all of humanity. 

Therefore, in the long term, the price of Bitcoin will rise.  Right now, in my opinion, is a good time to invest in Bitcoin.

As you have noted, it is absolutely the right thing to do by buying an holding. This is a bear market which no one knows when it will be over. From what you have said, there is likely some reality in them. This bear market was actually or likely as a result of the clamp down on Miners at first with the impression that Bitcoin mining has a negative side effects on the environment and climate which in the real sense they are anti Bitcoin trying to stop Bitcoin by all means. Not only that the government ban on regulations are another side effects on Bitcoin those countries affected were forced to selloff and it drastically affected the price of Bitcoin too. I strongly believe that the Government's are very much afraid and would want to at any length control the system under the guise of regulations which seems difficult for them. They are loosing grip of the masses which is a big night mare to them.

The more they act the more it affects the market the more strong hands bag more of it. As a smart investor this is the right time to bag more and do not forget to use or invest with funds you can afford to loose.
3058  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I want sell my house for bitcoin on: December 03, 2022, 06:07:40 PM
You can not be ignorant of the fact that Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. I believe you must have been following up with the trends on Bitcoin price and how it goes. Comparing both, Bitcoin is worth the investment but if you would ask me, I would say to you it is worth it but do you have the patience to wait for the next bullrun. Fine you have the two houses which according to you the worth is stagnant against your expectations of price increase. I know you never expected it to be this stagnant for too long as it is sure investment that should be rocking in more cash and increase in value but it's unfortunate that you fail to understand it that way. You see this slogan  "invest in what you know you can afford to loose" is still applicable .
Well it is still the bear market you know what to do. Do your own research .
3059  Other / Archival / Re: I don't want to buy cheap bitcoins, I want to buy expensive ones on: December 03, 2022, 05:23:10 PM
I believe this has to do with the human mindset, reasoning and ideology. Not all people see things the same way. Some might see the good in the bad while some would see the bad in the good and it all boils down to the same lane and their perspective of how they see things. Looking at this, one would know that normal human being should be able to go for the less expensive and get possession of it while waiting and growing with it but in the other hand, there are some that are ready to go for the much expensive one which has already pumped without much stronger value and at the entire end they lose all their investment as it was a pump and dump. This is the normal ideology of average human. Nobody wants to build but wants already built so they could take possession of it. This is why scammers always get their ways in achieving their goals.
3060  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What problem does Bitcoin solve? on: December 03, 2022, 01:03:12 PM
To the best of my knowledge, Bitcoin has created a niche for itself. The use case of Bitcoin are so numerous to mention. No wonder it is called digital gold and it is therefore tagged store of value and as the first digital currency, it became the most popular and globally recognized digital asset even though most country are yet to recognize or see it so. As the topic implies, the problem solved by Bitcoin depends on individual approach and perspective. It can be used for purchase of property without any much stress and third party involvement to demanding for commission, it is faster and time saving, it has a recorded ledger where every transaction is recorded which can never be destroyed unlike the fiat where evidence can be distroyed without any trace. You can move with your Bitcoin assets from place to place without any disturbance and no one noticing your movement compared to the fiat where bullion vans are used to covey fiat from one place to another which attracts eyes and possibly attacks by armed robbers and lots more making it very risky. All these problems Bitcoin has solved but it takes an opened eye man not biased in thinking to see what we are seeing.
