3241  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino searches at "all time high" during lockdown on: June 02, 2020, 06:38:48 PM
Quote
Search interest in online casinos has hit an all-time high in the UK since lockdown began, data show.

Google Trends shows gambling has moved online amid the closure of physical gambling venues and cancellation of sports events.

Ref: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-52633355

Well it wasn't unprecedented. Regular gamblers had to find a way to play while offline casinos are barred worldwide. Even though the overall volume has dropped, the interest about online gambling is on the ride.

I am just wondering if crypto casinos are benefiting from this! It's a great chance for crypto casinos to fetch a new customer base as well as cryptos should see new adoption. Could be a win-win situation for us!
We all saw this coming. Due to this pandemic, all physically located casino had to shutdown or place some sort of restriction. Again, there are people who don't want to "risk" themselves getting exposed to the virus. They fulfill their gambling urges through online casino!
I am pretty much sure crypto casinos are also benefiting from this. Easiest way for gamblers to gamble without any hassle.
3242  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is it true that now only few bounties scams? on: June 02, 2020, 04:35:54 PM
There used to be a lot of bounty scams and I decided not to post them since August 2019. I was very disappointed to see the bounty in 2019. A few days ago I met one of my friends who said that if there are fewer bounty scams now, is that true?
I now decide to join the signature that I use now
I don't think so. We still see people complaining about bounties not paying them or the whole project ending up with no more updates.
Most people also claim that the project is a scam just because the price of the tokens fell. Anyway, why would you want to spend most of the time doing something that has a very bad outcome? You are gone doing something else!
3243  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If the price of bitcoin increases on: June 02, 2020, 02:39:07 PM
After I read from a number of trusted sources and it turns out I get information, if the total number of bitcoins in circulation is 21,000,000. but if demand continues to increase, this number will be added again.

and the My question is very simple ...

Who will increase the amount of bitcoin, if then the demand increases ??
Did they Is make this bitcoin, actually ??
Who is your trusted source? I guess english isn't your first language, so highly likely you misunderstood the articles.
No, the supply is fixed. Even if the demand continues to increase, there won't be any change in the total supply. With the increase of demand, all we will be seeing is the price increasing. No one can "increase" the supply.

Highly educated scammer hate bitcoin

My friend is a very intelligent person, he was award national scholarship, get flying colour in national higher education examination (SAT equivalent), graduate the post scholar with first class honour(highest achievement in academic) in medicine specialist, but he’s a filthy scammer, he called himself unit trust agent with fund manager title, he introduced couple of his loyal friends to a franchise investment in 2008, its a food chains and was promising 12% in passive income, many of his friends invested more than $100k worth into the pyramid, within one year the scam collapsed, and all his friends loss money, but this scammer manage to escape with a fat profit, he called all his friends who loss money an idiot and idiot should pay lesson fee for their mistakes, it’s the price of being stupid, all of his friends hate him. A few years later he is announcing to quit his medicine jobs and go full time on MLM, and very confidence his MLM chain can make his dream come true, he collab with a billionaire who sponsoring the MLM and promise him a stockist exclusive right to him on the most developed city of the state, that’s mean he is the sole owner of the franchise on the city, no other people can open another franchise within his sovereignty without permission, he told everybody he is not regret to quit his five figure medicine job, and go full time on MLM scam. We all call him shameless scammers who ripoff couple of his friends hard earned money, he called us idiots. Next he also go full time on stock trading, he said he is fund manager now, and can invest a few millions, he is very inspired by Warren Buffett, and want to be the same like him, he frequently harass couples of his friends in WhatsApp and tell them what’s he is investing right now and how much money his portfolio worth now, and his entire portfolio is changing faster than trump changing his panty, am very disappointed with this scammer, a medicine specialist turn into full time scammer who enjoy ripoff his friendship over money. One occasion I introduce him into bitcoin, he immediately call me idiot and calling bitcoin is a fault! He said Warren Buffett dislike bitcoin, its a scam.

It’s sad, scammer hate bitcoin. Computer nerd, degenerated, noob, geeks, and no life, gamers, losers, and homeless love bitcoin.
Kinda sounds like a made up story to be honest... Roll Eyes
Why would a billionaire randomly collaborate with a guy he never met and that too sponsor his pyramid selling scam? And whats your point? Are you here to rant how your friend made a fool out of you? Or are you trying to say a guy with top scores can't be an idiot?
Anyway, yeah, he was right. You guys are stupid for investing in pyramid scams with him.
3245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Reasons Why I Have Lost 50% Of Bitcoin on: May 30, 2020, 03:14:55 PM
-snip-
He probably had a lot of alt accounts joining multiple bounties and other tasks over here. And yeah, he is breaking another rule by evading ban. Good find over there.

To OP, too bad you lost most of your coins by doing bad investment. People have been warning everyone about not taking risks by joining HYIPs since they are all scams. You are always left with nothing the longer you stay.
3246  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the new cryptocurrency worth buying on: May 30, 2020, 02:39:36 PM
Which "new" crypto currencies are you talking about? I mean what currency did your friend suggest you to invest on? People sometimes tend to be biased towards the coins they have invested on, so might suggest you to invest on that coin even if its a really shitcoin. You probably should be doing your own research and decide if you should invest or not.
But remember, most of the "new" coins are all bad, like really really bad. So just be careful when investing on those.
3247  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Pros and Cons on: May 29, 2020, 07:43:54 PM
I'm making a little research into the Bitcoin and how people perceive it.

It boils down to people's experiences with Bitcoin and the value it gives them.

I won't be giving any of my experiences or views or any other information which might alter your opinion.

All I'm proposing is you give 1 PRO (positive) and 1 CON (negative) about Bitcoin. 1 of each, no more. You can give an explanation to your choice if you so wish.


At the end of each week, I will make a post and present all PROS and CONS gathered thus far so we can all see what drives people away and towards Bitcoin.

Alright, here is my pros and cons
Pros-> cross border transactions are really easy now without any restriction what so ever. Takes only few seconds to send the coins.
Cons-> During high network usage, you either pay high fee or increase your confirmation waiting time.
3248  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Be aware of a possible new exchange SCAM - I need your opinion on: May 29, 2020, 07:29:46 PM
Sucks. I think you got scammed for real. The exchange you used, didn't have any "negative" review, probably because it was created quite recently to scam "targeted" people like you all at once. This "random person" comes and tells you to buy shitcoins from an exchange that no one ever heard of -> Sounds like a classic scam. I wouldn't be surprised to see the exchange disappear and then another one with a different name popup to scam someone else.
You said you couldn't find any reviews about them, but then they say they have "8" years of experience and "tens of millions of users"(and yet no one talk about this exchange on this forum), how come this not feel weird to you? And then they say there were formed on 2013, how did they get 8 years of experience? lol.
The copy pasted most of the explanation. For example https://www.huobi.com/en-us/assetintro/ Same description, same link on interest over there.
And Gmail domain, seriously man?
I was told by someone that I know the last month and never met in person about an investment opportunity. Before you tell me that I am an idiot, how I was involved with this person and the reason that I trusted her is another discussion.

And that reason leads you to fall on the trap. Is this person affiliated with this Valid Order Chain thing?

What to do now? Rest a bit, bear your losses, move on slowly, or continue talking to your "girl" on what's the best thing to do.
Dude probably got catfished lmao.
3249  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you handle losses in trading? on: May 29, 2020, 07:06:16 PM
Taking consecutive losses in trading has led to a lot of blown accounts.

Losses affects us psychologically and doesn't make us think logically.

Just wanna know how you get yourself back in right state of mind after taking a loss or better still, how do you handle losses?

Share your experiences and techniques, this will be helpful.  Smiley
I thought those who trade and does investment are always prepared mentally to make losses. I mean, its not like those people always make profits. Obviously, there has been a time where they made losses and are now used to it and knows how to "handle" everything.
I would say, try to keep a positive mental attitude. Its going to help you a lot during cases like this.
3250  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are afraid on investing to bitcoin? on: May 29, 2020, 03:38:40 PM
If you buy a bitcoin in the price of 9000$, yes it may drop, but we have clearly seen that this is what it does. It goes up and down. If you have 1 million dollars and buy 100BTC  (900.000$) then the only thing you have to do is wait. Because someday it will pass that number and you will have profit. Am I wrong?
Probably because of the negativity most of the media which are controlled by the government spreads. Again, there are people who are willing to take the risk of losing anything. They want to be able to cashout their profit anything without loss. The risk takers don't mind investing on bitcoin. And finally, there are people who think "bitcoin" and blockchain technology is too complicated, hence avoiding it.
3251  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Questions I have about Bitcoin on: May 28, 2020, 08:05:39 PM
All of your opinions are of the utmost importance.

But for me, the current state of bitcoins and entire cryptocurrency has been largely ignored and proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto's promises. Because bitcoin and whole cryptocurrency I would say is not stable at the moment. Because bitcoin is a decentralized type of financier and if it is used in a peer to peer electronic transaction like buying a bottle of soft drinks and a pack of potato chips at a gasoline station is not possible.

Because even I am beginning to doubt the long-term success of bitcoin and cryptocurrency because I can also say that it has not been stable until now. And in my opinion, it can't be used for peer to peer electronic cash and the only bitcoin can do.
Damn, you used a lot of "because" on your sentence.
Anyway, you can never expect bitcoin to have a stable price. Again, you are also wrong when you said crypto currency as a whole at the moment have no stable price. Did you forget about stable coins? They actually do have stable price!
If you are looking for stable price, go use those stable coins. And why isn't it possible to buy your "potato chips" with bitcoin?
3252  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PROMOTION TURNS WOE on: May 28, 2020, 08:01:47 PM
Everyone in the cryptocurrency communities know that bounties and airdrops have been part of the major channels through which the ICO/IEO tokens or coins projects are publicized to attract investor with the promise of a portion of the token to be paid to the hunters for their contributions.

Before 2016, bounty activities were not threat to tokens and blockchain projects. The bounty hunters also wanted to cash out huge from a campaigned project as much as the investors. The price bid for a listed tokens on the exchange were always left considerably above the ICO prices and everyone used to be happy.

Fast forward to the ending of 2017 and  early 2018, the music of bounty hunting changed. There were series of hunters mostly from the third world who had no other dreams that just a bread for the day. They just want have something eat able to put  in the mouth. The don't care about the value of the tokens they earned. They just want to sell for any price just to make a meal for the day.

Except the concerned project teams apply many other difficult measures, the dump from the bounty hunters and greedy low buying price bidder can send an ongoing developing project to a journey of no return.

It is time for projects teams look for another viable way to publicize their projects aside bounty and airdrop hunting.
This sounds so ridiculous. If those third world country people you are talking about are so desperate for money, then why would they even choose bounty hunting programs? I mean, don't they have to spend a lot of time over here? Wouldn't they be earning more if they took "any" kind of job? Those bounty program just pays few dollars!
And it would be plain stupid to blame those bounty hunters. I doubt they can cause much change in the price of the tokens by dumping.
3253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is good strategy or technique for Toss Coin? on: May 28, 2020, 01:19:39 PM
-snip-
Recently, my friend shared some gambling platform on me, which I think is only operates in our country.
They have this game which is a toss coin, I can say it is legit since they have a monitor that is streaming some live TV channel there which also you can see while playing.
I can say this game is purely 50% probability, HEAD or TAIL only.
The odds are computed based on how much bets on each side per toss.

Now,
What do you think, everyone? Good strategy or technique to use here, like the martingale or double down?
Feel free to share your ideas and advice.
Yeah, it is  50% probability of getting head or tail in a coin toss. You sure they don't have any kind of edge on this game? Like why would a casino run on a 50/50 game of chance? This also means, the casino has the equal chance of getting wiped out, just like their players!
Because they do live casino stream, it doesn't mean that the casino isn't rigged and they aren't cheating. Think about those magic shows. They do "magic" and "impossible stuffs", sometimes live on the TV, yet people can't catch their trick!
3254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Choice To Stay Longer Online Or Casinos on: May 27, 2020, 07:19:31 PM
If there is an existing topic or similar topic I will lock this thread please let me know.

Casinos have many perks like free drinks, foods and sometimes room and accommodation and they also offer loan to their old clients
While online gambling casinos you are in the comfort of your home you are relaxed and can play and take time and go back with one click

Where do you play longer hours online casinos or casinos?
My opinion over here is that people would choose to play on online casinos if they decide to stay longer. You are sitting on your home, you have your own food, you can start anytime, no one will give you loans if you lose (yeah, that is a good thing) and the casino operates 24/7. If you get exhausted, you can take a break for a while and instantly start gambling again. In case of physical casino, you get exhausted, you go back home.
3255  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do anybody know if there is a Best Crypto Project that Failed? on: May 27, 2020, 07:16:50 PM
How can a project be a "best" project if the project already failed? Makes no sense at all.
Are you trying to say if there was any project with a very good idea but failed? Then yeah, there are tons of such projects out there. They put forward extremely good ideas (so good that they are actually impossible to achieve), take investors money and then runs away.
3256  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think shops should accept bitcoin? on: May 27, 2020, 06:49:01 PM
Yes, they should accept bitcoin! I have seen shops where they accept bitcoin and when asked what do they do with the bitcoins, they said that they accept bitcoins from their clients but actually receives fiat currency in return. There are thirdparty companies that will accept Bitcoin on behalf of them and instantly convert them to fiat currency based on the average rates. So I think think so shops would be affected that much due to price volatility.
3257  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you believe that bitcoin will have a stable price in the future? on: May 27, 2020, 06:38:56 PM
Do you? I believe yes, after some years, if more people get into bitcoin, the price will stop somewhere and it will change slowly.
I wouldn't say it would be stable. Apply basic economic concept over here. Think about demand and supply. We know the supply of bitcoin is limited to a fixed number, where is the demand is "unlimited" (I am saying unlimited because as long as the population keeps on growing, if bitcoin still prevails, there will be a demand from the new population). Thus, with high demand and low supply, we get higher price. This price will keep on increasing as the demand keeps on rising (since there is no chance of bitcoin supply to be increased). So, in the future we won't be getting a stable price, but more like we will be getting a high price.
3258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble to escape your problem? on: May 26, 2020, 07:25:15 PM
If people gambles to escape their problems, then I would say that is a huge mistake and they should be seeking professional help.
Gambling isn't the answer to your problems. It is going to make your life more miserable. You should gamble to entertain yourself and enjoy.
Always gamble what you can afford to lose.
If you really want to escape from reality (in a healthy way) a bit, then there are many other ways. Try playing video games.
3259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Some Alts for long run investment. on: May 26, 2020, 07:22:40 PM
I would suggest others not to follow those suggestions from a random person on the internet. Never heard of the coins he has mentioned (SOLVED, CPRT and so on).
You should explain at least why they have the potential to be a good altcoin. Sounds more like you are just advertising for those coins.
If anyone does wish to invest on those coins, do your analysis first.
3260  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hello everyone! Do you still have confidence in altcoin? on: May 26, 2020, 07:17:24 PM
At present, the market condition of altcoin is not very good, the exchange rate of BTC is getting lower and lower, and many altcoins have been unmaintained. Even if the development team still insists, the price is very miserable! The blow to the entire team is not small, I am afraid it is difficult to persevere. Now there are a few questions that I want to discuss with you:
1. In your life, when would you use cryptocurrencies to shop? We know that people like to use cryptocurrencies in the dark web.Is general life shopping necessary?
2. If you use cryptocurrency for payment, what currency will you prefer to choose and why?
3. At present, the altcoin market is very bleak. Do you think this is a buying opportunity?
4. What do you think is the easiest to implement in Altcoin's future application scenarios and will attract more users!

Thanks all replies
1. Did you know that they even use fiat currency and gift cards in dark web for making transactions? You are saying it in such a way that they only use bitcoin.
2. Would use bitcoin, or some altcoin like LTC or ETH. Low tx fee.
3. You should buy whenever you can afford.
4. Not sure what you are asking over here.
