To an extent, Bitcoin would have actually help them to do some damaging control to their economy if they had fully implemented it also, but it seems that they are still not fully into it as I have already seen where they have a proposal to create their own cryptocurrency which is to be called petro coin, and I really don't think that this coin will get so much support as some countries like US is already saying some negative stiff about it.

Though to an extent, it is not actually of any business of USA to discredit a project that they feel will help their country, but instead of creating their own coin, I would rather have preferred that they work with a currency that is not being controlled. If they come up with their own currency now, I am sure that we will still have some people that will still hijacked it and still be able to manipulate it.

Oh shucks, I didn't get anything from the raffle. Well better luck next time, I am pretty sure I made more free wagered money from primedice (not just giveaways and bonuses, competitions, promotions etc as well) than I gambled in like 10 other casinos, there are only few casinos I gambled more in wagered number than I gambled with free money I got on primedice.

At one point primedice was literally doing challenges every single week where we get to try our luck and back then I made so much free money that I gambled around 0.1 total just from those (lost all like a true gambler of course ) All in all I would say raffle would have been expected by me, I have been that much lucky with primedice so not being there is a total shock .

Congratz to all winners and good luck .

Yeah, american streak is something I just can't join anytime soon, I just don't understand those games at all . I really love NBA and that is great but all other games are too foreign to me, I never watched any nfl or nhl games that I could say I knew what is going on. Leaving that aside it is still amazing to get freebets no matter how much or how many times, it could be couple cents for a few times and I would still be super glad, it could be few hundred and many times that requires you to gamble, I would still be super happy because if it doesn't work at worst I have nothing, if it works I have something, there is no downside to it at all.

I will be focusing on upcoming premier league games and other league games, they would probably make me feel better since I understand them a bit.

We have many people that has predicted the price of bitcoin in the past, and recently too, there is this guy on this forum that I ever regret not listening to because I am one of these people that believes you should never listen to people’s opinion, and because of that I totally ignored him when the price of bitcoin was just climbing above $13k, he actually predicted that the market will fall back to $10k, and really, the price was perfectly accurate and around the time he speculated it.

This could not have been a coincidence, the price was perfectly predicted, but what I agree with is that few are these people that know how to actually predict bitcoin, and many people that do predict are just predicting out of instinct and not with fact or analysis.

I have noticed something about bitcoin, at the point that bitcoin is being celebrated is when the price dumps, but at the point where bitcoin is being frowned upon is when bitcoin starts to decline in value which I think this has been the nature of bitcoin even since inception, it was at the point that people were forgetting about bitcoin that it started rising so high till it reached the last all time high that we are still waiting for to be achieved right now, and I believe that in future with time, the value of bitcoin will increase almost 2x of the last all time high.

It is now that many people were even predicting that they are seeing bitcoin fall to $7000 that it started making a whole lot of recovery and this is indeed a very good news. People will be encouraged again to stay lively.

It is really madness from some of these developers, it shows that they don't respect us and they lack respect for our work also, why would someone actually allocate such amount for a job that will take thousands of people weeks to complete, do they really think that it is very easy to do, I think that you are kind of right, it needs to get to that stage where we have to just start ignoring some of these projects and stop being desperate, they use us for a work of millions and then pay penny.

I see those projects as being greedy and some of them are the types that usually end up being a scam project. The allocation must at least be moderate, they should not allocate too much and they should not allocate too low, because most high allocations too that I have seen are the worst, they end up not even paying a dime.

It is their project, so what do you expect if they don’t believe in their own project, then who will?
I am patiently waiting for the Ethereum 2.0 also, let me see what the effect  the upgrade will do and I think upgrading the platform is not the only thing that needs to be looked into, because when it comes to chain system, we have lots of alternatives now and I think that the major thing that is giving Ethereum a bad name and why their project died is because of very awful projects that are coming through them, which is what I think needs to be taken care of first and has to do with their policy.

IEO is dominating now, because investors can rely on someone protecting them and helping them filter bad projects from the good ones, and this, Ethereum does not do.

There is no coin that really has much guarantee on them, except bitcoin and the first 10 coins that this coinmarketcap listed, both trading and investment.  There are lots of altcoins that started well at the beginning, but has given up along the line, so a coin may be performing well for the first 6 months and maybe extend to one year, but once it gets to a stage where they are having more of people dumping their coin than using it, they tend to fold up easily.

So, no matter the assurance that you think you have for a coin, their lifespan usually does not extend more than just 1 year, the only project that I have seen that have lasted for long and which I know will last more are still those coins that are top  coins sitting on an exchange or CMC.

I won’t be asking too much if I ask for the name of your country right? Because it sounds likes one of the African countries I know that are known for the highest rate of corruption. All countries are corrupt but some countries are extremely corrupt and they make life really difficult for their citizens. You can imagine the fear of gambling because of the fear of manipulation.

I don’t gamble on politics because it doesn't occur regularly, and I am not even into politics, definitely going to play on politics gambling is like a deliberate act to go and throw away money. I have only tried gambling on politics once and I didn’t regret losing the money because I knew I would loose of course. The game is for those who are current with political happenings.

Clippers is not as good as people make them out to be, they still have a glaring problem under the basket and any team that have a good center could feast on Clippers. Think about Sixers and embiid+simmons playing with their size inside, they could destroy Harrel and whoever they decide to play on PF position. Kawhi can't play PF for too long, I am pretty sure PG+Kawhi will be SG-SF instead of SF-PF so there will need to be some people who Guard other teams PF as well and if its tall than its a problem, if Lakers come up with lets say Howard+Davis at bigs, who could guard them?

Clippers is an amazing team and they are definitely one of the biggest contenders of the season but lets not act like they are as good as Warriors few years ago when they basically swept the whole playoffs.

If cryptocurrency gets the chances of surviving, I think that bitcoin will be the main coin that will surely dominate the market and dominate all currencies because right now, it seems like it is the one that is the major coin that people have really relied on, when it comes to fiat system, bitcoin technology supersede them, and when it comes to cryptocurrencies, bitcoin is still their king.

Since Ethereum has been establish, they even came with the intention of sending bitcoin away from the market, but now, people would rather prefer to make all their transactions through bitcoin than to make any through Ethereum. If we are looking for an alternative to bitcoin in future, I think that is when we can think of making use of Ethereum s the alternative because we don’t have a choice.

I am not against a believer of bitcoin having a plan to at least hold certain percentage of his money in bitcoin wallet every month, but programming it down is what I don’t really buy into. I feel that the investment should be handled manually, as in, you watch the market first to see the best time to manually purchase it which really does not take time.

If we program it down now, and then bitcoin suddenly rose at the time the card was programmed to purchase, would the card not go and  buy at a peak period which will eventually backfire for him and defeat the objective of its long term investment, and even as a long term investor, there should be a time that one must break the investment to later continue, as in when bitcoin reaches its new all time, high, it would be unwise not to withdraw it and keep purchasing.

Eosbet doesn't "pay you for holding your bet" , thats literally the system, its a decentralized blockchain system where if you have bet token you get eos in return, its automatic, nobody really pays you, nobody clicks send button to give you money, its all automatic. ANYONE can go buy some bet token from binance right now, put it on their eosbet account and start getting paid constantly, its all automatic and even the team doesn't have any power over that.

The owners and developers can't just say "don't pay this guy" or something, no matter who you are, no matter how much money you have, you will be getting paid. Even GP who has been against eosbet for literally market reasons (he will find some other reason when bet token goes up in price) can buy bet token and make money with it, the team won't be able to do anything about it.

They are not forcing anyone to bet 143 bitcoins to become the winner tho, they are giving away a certain amount of money and that is all up to you to decide how much you want to bet, if you want to bet 143 bitcoins you can, if you want to bet 1 btc you can, if you want to bet 0.1 btc then you can.

The rankings are not in the control of primedice, they do not decide who will wager how much, of course it is great for them if people wager a lot but there is no requirement to wager that much to get the prize, people just bet way more than needed because they can and because they want to. So, what could primedice do about it? Tell people to not gamble that much and make them profits? There is no way a casino should do that, it would be suicidal, they are here to make money.

I have heard this prediction of $7k several times, and bitcoin has really not gone below $8k, the last time bitcoin went down to $8k before bouncing back to $10k, many people still predicted that $7k will be visible, but till now, many people are still hanging and not able to invest which is how they will finally miss out of the train.

In bitcoin investment, it is very dangerous to delay an investment when the price has already fallen, because what is expected to happen at any given time after fall of price is recovery, and recovery may happen at any time, so instead of any one that is interested to wait for that $7k, I think they can still make some investment now that it is on the lane of $8k, our target is still like $40 within the next 2 years which I think it is a very good profit for someone that will but at $8k.

What's the name of the exchange you're using? You should have mentioned the name so that it would be easy, at least we would check to see if there's anything you're doing wrong or if it's just the way it is. Maybe you should make use of the top exchanges if that's not what you're using. For a starter (since you're still a newbie) I would recommend Coinbase, that's the easiest exchange you can use and understand. It carries lots of features and some that you won't find on others. The only thing is the fees. A lot of people who make use of Coinbase always complain about the fees, and that's the main reason most of them switch to other exchanges.

Transactions are fast with Coinbase and there is a recurring purchase that you can set if you don't want to stress yourself with login in at all times to buy coins. The recurring purchase feature automatically buys the coins you want at the time you set it. But like I have said, you're only going to have problems with fees.

I know that I have heard of a lot of exchanges manipulating the cryptocurrency market, but I have not really paid attention to them as I don’t think that I am using an exchange that is doing such a thing, the exchange that I am presently using which is binance has very high users that is using their platform on a daily basis, and I really don’t think there should be any reason why they should manipulate prices gain.

They might have done it in the past, maybe when they were first released in order to get some attractions, but now that they have lots of real users, they would not be crazy enough to still continue to engage in this shady activities and I think most of their volume can be very reliable, which is why I believe the data that I see on binance exchange even more than coinmarketcap data.

Short term and long term is not the amount if you ask me, its the time and the wagered amount. Just to give an example if you gamble with 1k satoshi for a whole day on all automatic you will still get at most 1-2 btc (or maybe more I don't really know the speed) but if you gamble 100 satoshi for 1 month you will gamble a lot more. Which is why I personally think its the wagered time instead of wagered amount.

You can gamble 10 btc all at once and win or lose the same amount, that is just once and you won't find out the average loss expectancy that way, however if you bet 1 million times with 100 satoshi over a month period then you will get to the 1% house edge average for sure. You won't also lose much and still have a high wagered amount that would help you out.

We all liked the american streak and having it is definitely better than just waiting, it is at least something that gives a promotion and we can have fun trying to guess. However this break is killing me, no premier league, NBA hasn't started and no Euroleague so far neither, champions league is a no show for a while too.

I think I am going to get rid of my gambling addiction from not playing so long until games come back . All kidding aside I love that we have american streak while no other thing goes on but I can't wait until the real stuff starts once again so we can bet. Premier league looked so dashing and unpredictable and I was just hoping it would go back to regular expected stuff once again and we could make some money with expected outcomes before it all went to break.

It’s really when I see people talk about how difficult it is to let go of a loss and I can’t but wonder why. The truth is that what is gone is already gone and nothing can be done to bring it back. Maybe just me, but I never think about a loss once it is gone because I know that would not bring it back anyways.

I am grateful for the kind of mind I have in gambling, especially the heart of not remembering loses because if I was the type of gambler that remembers loses, and I would probably be heartbroken, shattered and discouraged by now since what I have made as profit so far is not enough to even recover the loss. In my opinion, with or without profit been made, losses should not be remembered and of course I would forget all my loses when I hit a jackpot definitely lol.
