3301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Gamblers! What is your excuse to avoid a game with 0% House Edge? on: December 01, 2020, 12:52:50 AM
Well, it is a 0% House Edge, who would say no to that? Right? It is just that there are a lot of online casinos out there that are lying that is why you would stick to casinos which you are used to go to or visit. Another reason is just I am in the mood to play the games that they offer since there are a lot of times that I play other games as well like Poker, Dice, and sometimes betting on cockfighting.
Exactly, my first thoughts when I saw this. It is the epitome of too good to be true. I know that the developers behind does not have ill-intent but make it so known to people and let them do the advertising because if you were the creators to say that your system is safe then eyebrows will be raised. In my opinion, you should get yourself some house edge to fund your advertisement campaign because let the people know about you, there is a reason why Coca-Cola is still advertising till this day you know, they want to stay on air and stay relevant, you should know that.
3302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about this service ? on: December 01, 2020, 12:14:21 AM
When i do receive some random message from other people on telegram then i do mostly have those kind of negative perceptions towards it and most likely it
would really be put on ignore unless if it do really caught my interest.
Seeing on the image above where someone do try to offer some fixed match and getting the commision after you won then that isnt a bad deal since you
arent really needing to pay something but the question is, how he would proved out that those matches were fixed? or just simply random guess and if
you do won then you would need to give him some % of you winning? this is the case ive been seeing on this.

So in final i wont really be trusting these kind of offers yet no one will just randomly contact you and say "Hey i have some fix match information".. thats BS.
Yeah, it is only natural for many to not trust the people in Telegram, we all know the reputation of the people in that crevice of cyberspace. I do agree regarding offering fixed match betting and I think that it is not a lucrative way to earn a profit, first is that most of the offers are scam attempts targeted towards people that are naïve to the dangers of quick rich schemes. It is a given that when someone is divulging an information about something that involves money, and you think that it is too good to be true, it probably is. Lastly, use your logic and common sense, why would they give you a money generating information with that low commissions? They probably want to get your money of course.
3303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker Probability on: November 30, 2020, 11:30:44 AM
Mine too. I like games that rely more on skill than brute luck. Poker is fairly simple to learn, but phenomenally difficult to master. I love the combination of skill, maths and psychology. The hardest thing for me is trying to ensure that my play is unpredictable for my opponents. For example, sometimes if I have an excellent hand I will remain very hesitant and low-stakes on betting, and only make a huge bid later on, when some random low value card is revealed.
Had that same problem as you back then, always hesitating in the most shitty situation. The thing I did to cure it was just to YOLO my games no matter what, win or lose. It worked for me and my poker game just felt elevated, you might want to try it too but take it with a grain of salt. By the way, do not play YOLO with a lot of money, you still have to be reasonable.
3304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mainstream news media's new portrayal on bitcoin hehehe on: November 30, 2020, 09:11:33 AM
These people who keep talking about negative things about Bitcoin are most of the people who really don't know what Bitcoin is. Some may not appreciate what Bitcoin can do.
Or maybe they are just talking such things to spread some FUD and price may dump, so they can buy more cheaper Bitcoin. But as time goes by, people become immune to these, they just ignore it, they already know it.
By far, that is the biggest mantra for many bitcoin hodlers and individuals involved, word goes to the right ear then it comes out of the left. The FUD is just there to scare people away from investing into something new, we can't blame some FUD spreaders as some of them do not have ill intent in mind. In my opinion, this negativity is a good boost for bitcoin to elevate its image and so I am thankful that they are there.
3305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to introduce bitcoin who don't know.? on: November 30, 2020, 07:38:56 AM
Answer to 1: NOPE. As long as universities don't even teach the basics of finance such as taxes and what not, introducing Crypto in it seems unlikely. Blockchain on the other hand, is a bit of a more specialized subject imo, and could be taught in courses that actually tackle it or would tackle it, but I hardly doubt it since Blockchain is a specialized type of Database and most that are taught in universities are mostly generalized ones, at least in my case.
It can be possible, if universities make an introductory course I think it will fair because blockchain is not limited to finances, if this is used in other fields, who knows what can happen. One example I can think of is using blockchain network for anonymous medical testing for diseases that can cause social stigma.
2. Some people do seminars and the like regularly, so I guess that's a thing already. As for their topics, I'm not particularly sure but as long as it's about crypto (not trading crypto) I guess it's fine?
If we have a saturation of crypto people helding seminars left and right I think it will discourage people.
3. Unlikely. YouTubers create videos for content that is actually enjoyable and the like. the majority would not sit in front of their screens and listen to you discuss something they aren't even interested in. It's like the seminars done by schools that force students to listen to them, where the vast majority of those students wouldn't even remember the contents after a few days.
I agree regarding content creation, most creators aim for a entertainment content and having a educational is difficult especially for young adults. Not to mention, blockchain network in itself is a difficult topic that can't summarized in one video.
3306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In my school, Bitcoin is now becoming a subject on: November 30, 2020, 06:27:32 AM
It must be a milestone for Bitcoin. Anyway, I think that there should be some subjects on crypto and blockchain in general, especially for IT specialists.
To be honest, it should not be bitcoin that will be center in the subject curriculum. The better thing that they should focus on is blockchain technology and network because bitcoin is just scratching the surface. It will be a milestone but if you want a future generation that will create and upgrade the whole thing, I think that the curriculum must focus more on blockchain technology.
3307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A free land for bitcoin on: November 30, 2020, 05:45:52 AM
It will be difficult to be honest, we can't do this on a country or nation scale. This idea in my opinion is a experimental economy. Like how they are creating Special Economic Zone where they practice these kinds of ideas like Universal Basic Income. It should pass in test phase to see its viability but right now, I think the chances is still slim to none.
3308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING SITE INVESTMENT on: November 30, 2020, 04:57:12 AM
You guys should stop replying on this thread since OP didn't update his weekly investment again. Last of his update about his investment was around 3 months ago. You can't use any information on OP (because it's not updated) since it could be misleading people if investment in casino always make profit for you
I think that it is not that bad of a thing if OP does not update the thread, OP might be busy. The amount of updates I think is enough in my opinion to prove OP's point that investing into something is a good way to earn a passive income.
3309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on Open ending events? Should casinos continue offering them? on: November 30, 2020, 04:14:43 AM
If the casinos are taking a lot of bets from these type of events I don't see why they should stop, in the end they're making more profit by offering these type of bets. It's the same for sports when you bet on a team to win their league it takes months but I doubt it'll get refunded since they usually put big margins on outrights. I hate waiting on bets given that the outcome is already in your favor but that depends on the sportsbook as others are paying out early.
As long as it is within legal boundaries, I think that it is alright. The only problem that I see here is that they should find an interesting events that will cater global audiences. That in my opinion is the difficult part in these business model, contstantly finding an interesting events. Not to mention that these events should have a foreseeable ending like the end of US election.
3310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: France's gambling recovers on: November 30, 2020, 03:33:04 AM
It is good news to see the gambling industry can recover in this pandemic so that they can make money again in hard situations. As a business that contributes to the taxes on the country, it will bring a recovery process to that country, and slowly the country will recover the economy. With the other businesses trying to recover as what the gambling industry does, sooner or later, the situations will be normal, even if the pandemic still be with us. Each business can be related to each other, and it could bring a good impact on them which will lead the country to have a better situation in the future.
That still depends whether the government has a solid economic plan because relying on gambling industry alone will not be enough to stand back to their feet again, that is also assuming that every gambling platforms and houses are paying their taxes, some are exempted because of tax write offs for their charities. The best course in my opinion is to help the smaller businesses during these trying times because large ones are the biggest blackholes when it comes to economic stimulation, large corporations/businesses do not reserve emergency funds for their businesses, they use most of their money for stock buybacks which is pretty BS because in this times, this large capitalists are using our taxes to keep their company afloat.
3311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: VR online casino games take gambling to the new level 🚀 on: November 30, 2020, 02:49:19 AM
Even if I like the idea , the level of customers will be low in my opinion as why would you want to pay around 1.5k$ to get a real decent pair of VR system just to play online casinos with them ? I mean yea, for those who are having a lot of money to spare and they're addicted to gambling, they will join it but for me, a casual gambler , I won't even bother to buy a VR system in order to use it for gambling.
That really depends there are VR games that does not need a VR system to play, like the VR chatroom, where you can use only the conventional PC system and a good mic if you want to socialize with other players. If gambling houses create VR environment, I think that they should consider making it accessible to everyone, even the VR less players, the concept is good because VR is still at its infancy when it comes to entertainment so anyone who does a start up using VR to their gambling site will surely make money.
3312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker Probability on: November 30, 2020, 02:11:10 AM
Awesome post, love seeing the probabilities for each type of hand! Poker got really big here in the United States around 2003-4 time frame.  I was in college at the time and when I first learned how to play I was absolutely hooked.  We would play every night for months on end.  The only problem with sit down texas holdem is making sure you've got absolutely nothing to do for hours on end.  I would often just go all in when I wanted to go do something.  Other than that, it is easily my favorite gambling game hands down too.
Thank you for appreciation, have to admit that I am the same although it was around my senior hihschool year when I learn to fully play and it was the perfect game to play on dead hours of our classes, it really is time consuming and that is part of the reason that I haven't played awhile.
3313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another institutional investment firm is getting involved in bitcoin. on: November 29, 2020, 01:56:13 AM
Well i guess their timing is right, enough dip for them to dive in, maybe their coming will help change the direction of price if they are ready to buy a shit load of btc Wink lol!
anyways, good thing institutions are showing more interest on btc and crypto, i will assume it will be for the benefit of the crypto space at large.

With more whales trying to get in to the cryptocurrency game, I think that they are vying for control with their little own bubbles. The good thing about this is that, a dump will only be a dent for the overall price of the market which is a good thing for small hodlers. I agree that it is a benefit for crypto space and hopefully that this institutional adoptions become a catalyst to make a crypto integrated mainstream economy.
3314  Economy / Economics / Re: Deflation - Inflation - Hyper Inflation & Interest Rates Questions? on: November 29, 2020, 01:10:37 AM
Inflation is not a bad thing, when it is maintained as is, that means that the economy is growing, when there is inflation, it helps the production in theory. Zero inflation means that the economy is leading into a deflation which means that there is a lot of production but little demand which will cause work lay-offs and lower wages. I do not have much knowledge about interest but one thing is for sure, if the real estate prices go up because of this, eventually another bubble will burst and it will replicate the 2008 housing crisis in the US.
3315  Other / Meta / Re: Any Forum rules against racism or racist terms ? (official or unofficial) on: November 28, 2020, 03:35:45 PM
Racism is allowed, it's part of freedom of expression.

It's dumb anyway on a forum, I couldn't care less about your color or race. There's no KYC, you can be any color you want online.
Now that is trying to push the freedom of expression. I do not think that it is part, maybe a banter or two but a blatant comment pointed at a race is not freedom of expression. If we allow racism, I think we abandon people that are targeted by these racial slurs, so if we can do our part of prohibiting racist comments, I think that we are taking a good step forward.

The color I want is blue, daba dee daba da.
3316  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Copy Trading... on: November 28, 2020, 08:31:14 AM
I would not say copy trading is bad, because sometimes it is very helpful for newbies who don't really understand trading.
But if we rely on copy trading to make profit I don't recommend it. Since copy trading will not make you a successful trader,
copy trading will not improve your trading skills. Using copy trading once in a while is fine, but don't use it too often.
If you do not want to be too involved in trading then I think that this is the best move that you can do. If you find success in copy trading then I think that you might be considered a successful one. Remember that trading takes a lot of time so copy trading is a big help if you want to save some time to do other hustles.
3317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Chinese Police Seize 1% of Bitcoin’s Total Supply on: November 28, 2020, 06:18:13 AM
Here I am starting to worry about institutions starting to HODL a large percentage of Bitcoins, large enough to censor us, and everyone in the topic is celebrating the fact that China HODLs 1% of the supply.


Considering that they hold 1%, that does not seem a lot but I think if you have that much then you might have the ability to influence the market. The scary thing about this is that China is proactive when it comes to acquiring bitcoin, this might be the tip of the iceberg.
3318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin anonymous? on: November 28, 2020, 05:19:44 AM
Bitcoin is anonymous. I don't know if it's pseudo anonymous or not, but if you have bitcoins on a non-custodian wallet there's literally no way for somebody to find out. Once you make a transaction, again, same thing. You just broadcast a signed message. Nodes don't know who moved the bitcoins, because they don't know who sent/received the message first.

When anonymity loses its point? Once you reveal yourself! If you believe that you have to sell your bitcoins, then yeah, at least 1 person will find out who you are, because somehow you'll have to transfer fiat.

Cryptography makes it anonymous, whether we want it or not.
I think this is the most appropriate answer so far, the cryptography is intended to make it anonymous, it is a Schrodinger anonymity, if you reveal yourself then it is not anonymous and if not then you are anonymous. The only question is how can authorities track this users who fund terrorist if they are anonymous.
3319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Growth of bitcoin on: November 28, 2020, 04:42:59 AM
Well, perhaps newbies or new investors signifies the growth of bitcoin for more people are starting to trust bitcoin, and -- OP is right that the future of bitcoins lies in the hand of the newbies for they could lead bitcoin into the path which may differ from where it is now. Though whales still have always huge impact on the price volatility that may end there for these new investors can be the indicator of global adoption if they will stay and learn the real idea of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies including its benefits and be not afraid of possible downturn along the way while they are exploring the crypto space.
As it was intended to be in the first place. If investors and people do not heed interest in this in the first place then there is no all time high that we have been waiting for. Whales are still there but I think that the power they hold is a psedo kind because if they drive the prices low then other people can buy for less and earn more.
3320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Black Friday Fiat Fail on: November 28, 2020, 04:07:34 AM
Your company needs to either integrate blockchain in their business model or spend more on upgrading their current infrastructure which is more expesive of the two choices. I think that they will choose to do the latter because they see this as a spike and not a constant phenomenon, hopefully some sense goes into the heads of the higher ups and do the reasonable thing.
