Depends what games you play. In some games like craps you mentioned, there's no strategy really, and you might as well put all in one bet because it wouldn't matter if you slowed down or not probability stays same.

But i admit that tend to do this on skill based games and sports, adrenaline from losing makes be bet even harder without thinking straight and instead of analyizing teams or fighters, i go with my gut, trying to catch big wins with high risk. Best way for me is to have a walk and breath fresh air about 30 minutes, and i shouldn't get back to my computer until i am totally cooled down. Otherwise i make bad decisions.

Oops... might have overestimated himself.

Loading...

I hope he tries to weasel out of this, I don't want this trainwreck to end.
So maybe he wants someone who actually knows what they are doing to run twitter Cheesy.
Edward snowden offered to run it. I like the guy but this would mean there would be even more censorship because of where he lives. There would be pro Russian propaganda all over it or Snowden loses his asylum.

https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/edward-snowden-offers-to-take-over-as-twitter-ceo-for-salary-in-btc-2966953

My guess is that responsibilities and pressure were just too much for space karen. Advertisers don't want anything to do with him, just like his kid and wife. And it's hard to seem like hardcore freedom of speech activist when you want to censor things that annoy you.
3103  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving one third what you earn monthly is not that hard, isn't it ? on: December 19, 2022, 05:31:35 PM
If you are in twenties or early thirties and remain single, earn $3,000 after tax per month, you will probably save $1,000 if you, let's say, spend $500 to $800 on rental, a guest bedroom in a shared house/apartment, $500 on food, $50  on utilities, $150 on phone/internet bills, $400 on commuting costs or gas/maintainance if you have a used car, $200 on occasional entertainment or others. This $1,000 savings will allow you to invest or place a house down payment when time is ripe. Is this possible based on where you live ?
150$ on phone and internet bills? In a month? What kind of operation are you running and where? I am paying like max $30 month for a high speed internet and phone.

But answer to your question, you left out electricity and water and at the moment where i live, electricity bills are insane.
So is the price of food, and for some reason everything else with that. I could manage third if i lived by myself in a tent and hunt your own food, but that would be tricky if you work in the city. It would be tricky in the country side as well. Right now i am pretty much living from hand to mouth.
3104  Economy / Economics / Re: Tesla’s stock prices dropping fast on: December 19, 2022, 07:30:35 AM
Even if there are other companies manufacturing electric cars, Tesla produces the best and he is way ahead of others. What we are seeing in the stock price is a natural correction and there is nothing to be worried.

Yes I would say the same things, although we may wait little bit more and we can start do the accumulation of tesla stock  Grin. and Indeed Tesla produces the best car, especially with their auto drive fiture. Tesla stock maybe took a hit too after mr.elon need money for twitter  Grin and after I check it, this happen not just in tesla but also in other the same industry like rivian and lucid
Ok, what exactly are the qualities you guys are measuring when you say it's the "best" electric car? Best how? Can you point to reviews compared to rival electric cars?

Have you seen what the competition has been building all this time?
https://www.hotcars.com/elon-sheds-tear-tesla-model-s-plaid-loses-fastest-car-crown/

Or is it just because it was first one that brought awareness to electric cars? Because i am thinking Tesla might have done better without Elon hijacking it over.
What we are seeing in the stock price could be natural correction like you said, but most likely it's the price of electricity.

Donald Trump NFTs are sold out though. but that is what i mean by popular entity releasing his own. Trumps NFT is not really impressive but its sold out or maybe he is also the one laundering 99$ worth each.

AND he is getting 10% creator's fee from every trade (well most likely it's him even though he didn't "create" them. That's one of the reasons i won't be joining in this game, i couldn't sleep well if i knew i've given that snake oil sales man any money. And it's not like he would be washing money just by selling to collection. That's under $5 mil. Imagine him buying from himself and rising the prices. He could be washing so much more, and as he is not giving profits to charity, he probably is.
3106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Just how bad is the bear market right now? on: December 18, 2022, 11:59:12 PM
I've been into different market cycles through years and my personal view about the bearish season has been changing yearly. I used to see it as a bad thing and I also thought that I could just lose my funds in it but I started appreciating it when I saw its importance. I've realized that the bearish season is an open opportunity for everyone to buy and accumulate potential coins. It isn't something to be feared but it's an opportunity to buy and hold.
It might be a cliche that you hear only in bull markets but "this time it will be different" could apply to this bear market. We wanted adoption and visibility, now we have visibility big time in form of centralized exchange ceos going to prison and "decentralized" stablecoins like ust crashing making people lose billions. I've seen some bear markets during my time in here, but this feels very different.

Updates coming in this thread.

In any case, if anyone finds an update on Barry, please share them.



I've tried to google it but found nothing that would imply dumping bitcoin so if you want to include any of your sources with that update it would be great.
It wouldn't make any sense to me that he would be selling bitcoin of all assets, because if i recall correctly he is almost maximalist with it. Dumping anything else in this market would make more sense.
3108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Go-to casino on: December 18, 2022, 11:38:08 PM
I only play in stake and freebitcoin. And occasionally primedice.

I used to play only in betfury, but i am waiting for them to make a commitment about their tokenomics of their own token bfg
to decide if i use them again as their future looks way too unpredictable now. But i keep using stake and freebitcoin, stake is trustworthy and has a sleek gui.
And freebitcoin just has been online for ages, so it has standed the test of time.

Thank you for your answers. But unlike one of the examples, people sold their BTC at maybe 20000 cause they bought it at 10000 or 5000. For the BFG nobody doesn't get BFG at a lower price than now cause we are at the lowest (or so) price ever.
Well BFG tokens have nothing to do with BTC or most altcoins out there. It has totally different tokenomics and slowly decreasing dividend system.
BFG wouldn't have any meaning without centralized betfury. You can't really compare buying and selling activity with btc or altcoins when fundamentals with bfg are so very different.

Who are selling is a wrong question. Right question is who is buying.

So here is the biggest conspiracy of all in crypto... So there are small and mid actors that sure have lots of crypto but question was were they ethical and actually care about their community? Just as Wall Street and Hollywood have talking heads of perception enter SBF, CZ and all the rest. I'm thinking the bigs from Wall Street are trying to shake down the small and mid actors in the crypto space so they can control our space as well just like Wall Street and commodities in general. So CZ and SBF were merely actors literally and totally just to make the big Wall Street people look like our saviors when they both crash their own exchanges. Problem (Crypto brings too much freedom we need to control it) Reaction (implement bad actors SBF and CZ) Solution (Come in as the saviors and control it all)
I think that demanding that they care about their community is too much to ask, and even irrelevant if they care or not. If they are not braking any laws and follow regulations, that's good enough for me. I am assuming that people from wall street want to capitalize on crypto markets, but i don't think that they want to be seen as "rock stars" with fan base like in crypto, we tend to idolize our leaders. But wall street doesn't really make the rules about control, FATF and organisations like it does.

If wall street could choose, they would definitely choose freedom. They just don't see custodial ownership as freedom, as they know they will have to work with regulators. Like the rest of us will in the future.

Sorry if this has been asked before but i couldn't find it.

What are the slots with the biggest possible multipliers? I see that sweet bonanza has 21,100x and so far that's the biggest i've found. So instead of going them one by one like i've been doing for a while i thought i better just ask.

It would be so helpful if i could sort/rank the slot machines by volatility, biggest multiplier or RTP. Also being to filter showing only slots with buy feature would be cool. Maybe these could be implemented in the future?
3112  Economy / Economics / Re: Tesla’s stock prices dropping fast on: December 18, 2022, 08:35:36 PM
Well, there have been critical voices over the last few years about a massive overvaluation of the Tesla company in general.
Ofc, nobody holding Tesla stocks wants to hear that, however I wouldn't be suprised to see a huge implosion within the next 1 to 3 years.
-cut-

Remember when that Space Karen himself said the tesla stock was too high?



I was just looking at the chart and there's no way of telling where the bottom is. There are support levels of course but when the company is going to toilet those meme lines are pointless. It might as well drop 70% more just because the cost of electricity renders the cars unusable in Europe.

And then there's the fact that Elon used 26% of if own networth to buy a twitter only to see advertisers funding it leaving. That doesn't really grow trust in the Tesla leadership.
3113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's behind Donald Trump's issuing NFTs ? on: December 18, 2022, 08:14:37 PM
-cut-
Do you think Donald’s fans will get scammed? That’s the whole idea about NFT’s. It is not Donald’s fault if people want to get scammed.
What are you talking about? So it's not a scammers fault when he scams people? It's victim's own fault because they are stupid? Let me remind you of this next time you get hacked. Just because you can use social engineering to scam people it doesn't mean it would be right thing to do.

However most of these people probably are not buying it because they think they are worth anything, unless people start to wash money with them, which they most likely do now that i think of it.

Any other ex president that would have done this would just give the money to charity, Trump just keeps it and has creator fee of 10%.

At some point he most likely will be bragging how big this is going to be, which makes me think at some point this will get investigated as a illegal sale of securities.
3114  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance lots of FUD on: December 18, 2022, 08:03:18 PM
It's true that Binance is huge, and as I said, it's bigger than 10 other exchanges combined, but that doesn't mean it's the heart of the market. Binance has only been around since 2017, and the market has appeared before and also developed without Binance. If it falls, we will return to the beginning, we will have to start over, but not to the point of dying with it.
Binance is part of the market, not the crypto market is part of Binance. I am one of those who do not believe that Binance will collapse, but I would not believe that it is the only lifeline of the market.
It wouldn't "kill" the market but it would definitely cripple it, depending what happened and how much reserves would have been lost. AND it would most likely make this a biggest bear market yet. It would be worse then UST crash or any exchange crash before it.

There isn't even anything in crypto history that would compare to it, mtgox, cryptsy, mintpal/moolah were the ones causing panic in the past but this would be exponentially worse on whole another level. And as we don't have anything in the past to compare it to, we would be in uncharted waters that are just too hard to speculate.
3115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP future looks shaky and uncertain on: December 17, 2022, 05:51:37 PM
I have seen lots of topics here on XRP in the time period of over 5 to 6 years but never come across anything negative to XRP. Most of the times, I felt like all such topics were by paid shillers hired by ripple corporations. In my observation, XRP will stay here regardless of we like or not. It is a centralized corporate coin which deceiving naive investors through pump and dump still we cannot do anything about that as it is a long running shit and just part of this altcoin space.
XRP army, i rememer it. I think in the past it was stronger because there weren't that many camps in altcoins. And i have to admit, price was working well for the early investors. I didn't buy it because even back in early days i didn't see any more point to it then i see now. These days i am including idiots into my calculations when i am considering if something is worth buying. Because for a profit maximalist it doesn't matter when we talk about the short time gains that what tech will get used in the end. They don't care how centralized or worthless the tech is.
3116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters, how much you really earned in the last two years? on: December 17, 2022, 05:44:05 PM
Some of them are worth it but i wouldn't recommend anyone saying how much they made especially lately. I've seen enough hacks using social engineering to hack emails and clear accounts. Projects that pay with liquid altcoins like btc or eth are worth it, but when they pay with their own tokens it's a gamble. I mean i have made a lot in the past with those too (all gone now). Sometimes you can even hit the jackpot when there are for some reason not enough participants and your stake can be worth a lot. And after that you just hope that the project will get picked by a whale.

Also i have seen how many bounty program just out right lies. That they have a $200k usdt budget without escrow, or that $200k usdt is actually in worth of their own token. Or even that they will pay after they get the money after ico, which obviously wouldn't happen even if they raised money.
3117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [POLL] Will BNB crash? Will Binance go bankrupt? on: December 17, 2022, 05:29:25 PM
-cut-
My takeaway from this… The more BTC people withdraw from exchanges, the higher the price of BTC will go.
What are you basing this on? If people withdraw their btc it would just remove liquidity, and if they managed to crash exchanges by withdrawing their assets, btc would obviously go down with the trust on the markets. And yes, while one bitcoin = one bitcoin meme would apply but that doesn't help if we don't want to get back to bitcoin stone ages.

And with a place like binance going down we would lose ton of institutional investors with it. And let's face it, we need institutions if we want to be taken seriously. If not, it's back to 2010 for us.
3118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Huge Binance outflows - should we be concerned? on: December 17, 2022, 05:02:48 PM
I am not worried but in case you are it doesn't cost anything for you (except the withdrawal fees) to get your money out. Just be aware that when you hold your private key in the piece of paper that you can't lost in any circumstances. Or if you keep your money in hot wallet, when you are more exposed to phishing and scammers. My advice is, if you withdraw, don't tell anyone how much you withdrawed. Because it might not be much now, it can be 100x later and people who find their marks know this.

Is there any fighting game like Mortal Kombat where you challenge gamers around the world taking a bet? I don't want to take bet on Mike Tyson or Joshua I want gaming by one self, I believe this is less dependant on Luck, this requires more skill than mere luck.
Wouldn't this be instantly broken by bots playing as their response time is way faster then any humans? Maybe if that arena would be on live stage just like in other computer games this could work. But i don't see as much skill in it or any reason it would be any more interesting or impressive to watch then shooting games they are currently playing.. I would rather watch civilization when it comes to computer games tbh. There's not enough strategy behind mortal combat that would make it interesting for the viewers.

BINANCE WILL FALL NEXT!!! We Have The *PROOF* CZ Will Be ARRESTED SOON!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD5Xp7zTO68
So chico crypto's proof about this another twitter influencer getting DMs from an unknown account. And those DMs were just vague fud from a guy even the original twitter account.

And this "exchanges are coordinating together" being illegal how exactly? We have known this for years that big exchanges are coordinating amongst themselves in chats where they talk about tracking stolen funds etc. If i recall correctly CZ himself has comfirmed this in a tweet or in an interview. Rest of the video was just basically repeating what has happened and hoping that's enough for the jump of faith to proof.

Involving old bitfinex fud at the end into this with that annoying voice/attitude/mannerism makes me hopes video would just end.

Hate to say but contrary to what the video title claims this is not PROOF.
