3061  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: P2E gaming is rising, big names like Ubisoft and EA Sports are joining... 👀 on: March 14, 2022, 10:29:10 PM
Yeah, as your title says, those big companies are starting to explore the ways of how their players are going to be hooked with their launching games by adding play to earn feature on it.
With the current game setting and industry, it's really a huge market and industry that they should capitalize and soon it's not just going to be about them but also their players giving and out from them. It's going to be a shared market where playing games is already a career and a way to earn.
3062  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from crypto influencers on: March 14, 2022, 09:42:26 PM
cases of influencers to boost platforms like this are rife in my country, but the focus is not only on cryptocurrencies, but more on binary, with a variety of pairs. and finally this person is currently in jail for a gambling fraud case. we don't know they use the market base from where and with his wealth and success he can convince many victims to enrich themselves
They really are taking the advantage of the people of what they can market. If they have fans that they can capitalize with, these platforms will certainly no doubt going to contact and use them to advertise their platforms. And eventually, these influencers would be money hungry as they've earned easy advertising the platform that have contacted them and the same goes for the crypto projects that are too many out there.
You also have to check on the influencers you are watching because it's likely that you can be a blind follower of them.

How can CZ be neutral when he is imposing sanctions to individual Russians? He is not in any way neutral. A neutral company would be in the middle and wouldn't take orders from whichever side. CZ, on the other hand, is blocking individual Russian accounts in favor of western sanctions. Just because he stopped short from blocking all Russian users doesn't mean he is neutral. He simply doesn't want to lose revenue from the Russians, or lose license from his western bosses.
He didn't imposed any sanction, although there's really some sense to think about what he's doing and his company is the one to benefit from that decision of not-banning Russian users. It's making it look like that he's helping them and at the same time, he's really not losing revenue from that region.
3064  Economy / Gambling / Re: Would you support a collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms? on: March 13, 2022, 09:16:05 PM
Putin doesn't care about all of those. Even there are threats, sanctions, and rewards for him to be taken, he doesn't care. He's the kind of leader that will push whatever he liked. From what I've read at first when the war has started, everyone is saying that you should start to learn about their history.
But even if we understand their history, we don't like the attacks and we condemn the invasion because no one wants to be in a war, and no one wants to be a casualty during a war.

Yes. These things aren't important to Putin. The west doesn't understand Putin's Ukraine obsession. He is after the land, he is after the wealth, he is after power. He sees it as a soviet-era trend. There is a return to Soviet-era thinking, and it is about territory, wealth and power. Putin is at the center of the story, and this small group of people around him. They are basically the last remnant of Soviet elites. People like these sincerely believe that the West is hostile, who sincerely believe that the West denies Russia its rightful place in the world.

Can sanctions and boycotts stop Putin and end Russia's war in Ukraine? I would say that is unlikely. Just think about the Olympic boycott of Russia. That was a symbolic gesture, even though there was a weak economic impact. But don't forget that it is a huge signal. It may not be enough to win over Putin, but in terms of Russia's international reputation it played an important role.

This doesn't mean that sanctions will be the only way to resolve the crisis. But it is a powerful symbolic signal, and Russians can't ignore it. In the event that Putin leaves the scene, the sanctions and boycotts will disappear. That's my way of thinking.
That's the only way that the sanctions will be gone and that is when Putin has stopped or gone. Otherwise, the war is going to continue and on the side of Ukraine, its allies will continue to fund them and help them in other means that they can. Like sending arms and money but when it comes to the point that they've sent troops and armies from other nations, we'll get to see how Putin is going to react on it and for sure that'll be the world war 3.

Good and crypto friendly countries have been included. There seems to be a big reason why they have to do that.
IMO irrespective of the ban on countries and account, fund should be accessible for transfer to other account even after deadline.
That's what they did, there's at least more than a month for those users who are located on those banned countries to withdraw their funds. And whoever misses that losses their fund forever and it'll be taken by gate.io.
3066  Economy / Gambling / Re: Would you support a collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms? on: March 12, 2022, 10:11:19 PM
Not sure if the root of the war is about politics but what I heard before is about country related stuff, I think Russia got angry because it wasn't included, something like that but whatever reason it is, they are only doing what they can to punish Russians.
Yes, it's all about politics. A war always being triggered due to politics and the division starts from the disagreement of both ends. The Russia is angry because of Ukraine's decision to join EU and NATO. But there's the latest news that Ukraine won't be pursuing its desire to join NATO anymore. But they've signed and requested to be part of EU and I think that's still another factor why Russia is angry because these two countries are like brothers but not anymore now.
I feel like no matter what, Russia should have tried and solve the dispute with talks and maybe threats. But actually attacking a country and the way they're doing, cannot be approved at all. I wasn't even aware what their dispute was but after reading some articles I got to know the real dispute was Ukraine's desire to join NATO. For anyone who doesn't know why NATO is a problem, basically if any country joins NATO then if attacked by anyone, all the NATO members will attack that country together and Russia obviously close to Ukraine don't want that threat.

As far as boycotting websites or services, I don't think it helps the cause at all, if not make the situation worst.
Putin doesn't care about all of those. Even there are threats, sanctions, and rewards for him to be taken, he doesn't care. He's the kind of leader that will push whatever he liked. From what I've read at first when the war has started, everyone is saying that you should start to learn about their history.

CZ makes it appear as if their decision not to ban Russians in Binance is because of their commitment to fairness, freedom, or crypto. No, it isn't.

The truth of the matter is that CZ is not imposing a blanket ban on Russians because there's no legal order to do so. Such sanction is not in place right now. Should there be one, however, or "if governments introduce new sanctions that include off-boarding users then we will apply those aggressively as well."[1]

Be warned!
Good take, I honestly thought that he's giving the benefit for Russia because he has decided not to ban users there. But with all of those analysis and facts that I've read, there's really no need for him in doing so. Thus, there's also the right information about him being half Chinese and China is an ally to Russia.

though we don't know the absolute truth about his decision. but most of these Russians are against with Putin. and if the crypto exchange will turn down these regular Russian users, then, how can they cope up with the impending crisis in their country? they are also humans who want to survive after this war. and one option to store their assets right now is via crypto.
but it is true, there is no legal sanction towards these crypto exchanges regarding acceptance of Russian clients, so why would binance or other exchanges block these russian users?
There's no need to know the absolute truth with his decision. Everyone sees it as a fair decision and as someone who's a market leader, many would sympathize and likes the decision he has given. But as someone who's curious about each detail that has been visible, you get the idea and believe what you want to believe. He has already given favor not just with Ukrainians but also the Russians, that's already enough to think that he's neutral although if you try to comprehend and connect all the details that has been said, there's really a content that you can build.

Well, it seems that it's on the news since last week that they've been blocking some areas of concern. I still don't know how they've become like that.
I'm looking for some threads and articles that will explain how and why metamask has become like this. There were only a few articles about it and I've got to do some digging as to why they've acted like being centralized such as what OP has brought into attention.
3069  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Need some marketing strategy on: March 12, 2022, 07:03:38 AM
I Have read above mentioned comments .many good comments are listed Marketting strategy leads to a great role that can be successfully implemented by right Marketting executives. a business's overall game plan for reaching prospective consumers and turning them into customers of their products or services. several types of marketting strategies available  By carefully integrating all of these marketing strategies into a marketing mix, companies can ensure they have a visible, in-demand product or service that is competitively priced and promoted to their customers. now a days short video content is the one of the best marketting strategy. we can expect a big success in this strategy
As everyone had given the idea on what are the possible marketing campaigns and strategies that can make OP satisfied with what he's working on.
It still going to depend on his budget of him or the project that he's working with. A little budget is hard to manage to have the best results that's why companies are spending huge amounts of money in marketing to have the best results. Videos are part of the marketing and somehow if the maker of it is highly paid and worked with a lot of successful projects, that's interesting yet could be costly.

3072  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price. on: March 11, 2022, 09:03:39 PM
In the midst of the war between Russia and Ukraine, can we see Bitcoin at the top? Or Bitcoin will not be able to rise from its position as long as the war lasts, what do you think?
Always the answer will be unknown, we don't know. Any even can make the price of bitcoin go up and down. But just a tip that don't look at the current events.
You should better look at the long term look of bitcoin and that's the promising and most exciting part. Because we don't know what will happen during this war, there's a better thing ahead that awaits. Wait until the next halving finishes and that's about 2 years from now.
3073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: EBAY might accept BITCOIN on: March 11, 2022, 06:39:42 PM
Don't give too much hope on it. The PayPal adoption is actually a surprising one although many have discussed that many years ago because they really are a direct competition with bitcoin.
Whilst for ebay, they have no direct competition on bitcoin and it's just going to be another payment method accepted by them if ever they're going to start adopting it.

Correct, PayPal and Bitcoin both are P2P payment system and both PayPal see bitcoin a real challenger. E-Bay game is different, as of today ebay has very strict policy on virtual currency

Quote
Effective July 13, 2021, listings for virtual currency are not allowed. Listings for certain accessories that do not include virtual currency are allowed as detailed below.

The sale of virtual currency is prohibited on eBay.

ebay
What a policy since last year, maybe this is all due to the scams that have revolved on their platform selling bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I think this step and policy is understandable and they're just protecting their users from any possible that might abuse their platform and bitcoin.

Further there is no confirmation from ebay that they are ready to accept bitcoin though EBay Teases 'Digital Wallet' in Investor Presentation as Crypto Rumors Swirl
Let's just wait until they are the ones to unveil what they are about to launch soon.

~
I agree. Besides, it's not like it is a service that the majority of this industry needs badly. If anything, it's a type of service that crypto users would only use for convenience and not for needs.
Yes, it's different from the other payment methods that really sees a threat to bitcoin. As for ebay, it's just another service where we can spend our bitcoins if we want to.
3074  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation hits USA on: March 11, 2022, 05:42:46 PM
What? that's still without the effect of what happened with Ukraine-Russia war? For sure, it will be higher when the record will be released. So, without the effect of the sanctions, they should think better on how to deal with the big inflation rate that has come to them. Actually, not just only to them but for most countries that are affected by this war. Well, they can make some way to decrease that and many countries are relying to US dollars so if they get a huge inflation, then many will also have it that are reliant to them.
3075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 10, 2022, 11:21:16 PM
We can say anything but everything can be decided when this two fighters is already inside the ring, maybe Spence have that edge and Ugas may try harder to beat Spence, preparations and more on watching fight replays to be more aware to how both fighters are moving whne inside the ring, things like this what the trainers and the camp should be focus while waiting for the fight to happen.
It sums up that everything is unpredictable inside the ring. The two are known that they're likely to give each other beating and good fight and that's why it's hard to speculate on this match.
It will really depend on their preparation and timing when they're already inside the ring. And another factor is that there's a possibility that one can get lucky with those openings that they might see as entry for a heavy blow, it's always like that.
3076  Economy / Economics / Re: Never expect you to be rich without investment on: March 10, 2022, 08:51:30 PM
Yes, they have the capital ready to be diversified in any investment that they think is going to prosper. But all of those investors have their humble beginnings and where they've started. It's all about how they have handled the money and how they grew it very well.
I'm sure that all of them have the discipline that others can't have and aside from having that discipline, they're all willing to lose with anything that they invest so they've taken all of those and now, they're sitting in the big rewards that they deserve.
Just like been mentioned that some others money came from inheritance or would really be something that been gained through your hardwork or investment which applying their discipline would be totally different to each other.Risk would be always there whenever you do make out decisions like this.People dont expect that much on having positive results because not all investment would really be
be ending up on having positive results in the end. Expect that there would be lots of trial and error for this one.
That's the truth in investments. Not all are successful but those who give up too early, they're the ones that will likely having to show others that investments doesn't work.
But those that have failed yet they have never give up and still, they're trying to make new investments. Despite the losses, they're learning from those experiences that they have and these people are the ones that are honing themselves to become a better investor.

Let's just take it as is and what their stand right now. Don't take it too serious as of the moment when analysts and experts are telling Ebay "might" accept bitcoin.
Always take it with a grain of salt when there are news like this. You believe it or not but just always go along with the neutral of those news eve though they're likely positive and boosting.
If there is a smoke then surely there is a fire, remember that when PayPal starts this sounds>? people also deny that fact years ago but look what happened ?

Never forget that Big companies now are trying to adopt bitcoin so Never doubt that this will happen lol.

               Tired of eBay saying such things over and over without actually acting on it. They've been like this since forever. I really don't know what's good ng on with the heads of its developers but I think they only do it whenever bitcoin does well. As to reasons why, maybe because they want the publicity. Even more so nowadays that bitcoin is the talk of the majority. But hey, who knows though. Maybe this time they'd really do it considering the huge increase of the people jumping into crypto currencies. I won't get my hopes up that much about this tho, not anymore.
It's the same with PayPal before that it's just a "might" but eventually they have adopted it. Although it's a different thing with PayPal and its adoption still, they've included bitcoin on their platform. It's going to be the same with ebay and other companies that "might" adopt bitcoin in the future. We'll just notice in the upcoming years that they have already adopted it. It's okay to not hope for it but when the time comes that they've adopted, we'll see it.
Yeah, this was just the same when there are rumors that Paypal "might" accept bitcoin on which lots had been saying that it wont happen but it eventually did but it did really takes time.
Just like you said on which i wouldnt really be surprised if these companies would really be making out the same step on what those companies had been done.It is just a matter of time
or been waiting for some benefits on which crypto had been adopted or added into the platform.Most of them are just observing it out if it does works well or not.
Let's just take it as is and what their stand right now. Don't take it too serious as of the moment when analysts and experts are telling Ebay "might" accept bitcoin.

Thunderpick has ended.

For now, the campaign is closed.

It's likely that the campaign will be back once the funds for another 4 weeks has been sent to LM



Seems like the campaign is closed for new participants after manager updated spreadsheet and message the accepted participants. But he maybe forgot to edit the topic from "open" to [CFNP] :
Yes but temporarily it will remain into PNYC until they pay the first week for confirmation of its run and then it'll be moved to CFNP after that.
