Hi ,

Are you able to see ' MAX amount ' button on betslip ? It was working till last week. Im able to boost odds but i'm not able to see max button. I just wonder that ' its for my account ' or its removed for everyone.

Regards.
I am not sure why but even stake removed the max bet option and when I asked the support they told me that the option was being abused by people and they did not gave the exact reason but assured that was the case. I tried to use the max bet option on sportsbet.io now as you asked and I actually have that option but it shows the max bet of the balance like I had 3 mbtc in my account so it allowed to make max bet of 3mbtc while earlier the max bet shown was the actual max bet allowed without being based on my balance.

I don't mind either ways though because I do not bet big and never made max bet in my life on any casino  Grin but I would love an explanation on how it was removed or changed the way it used to work Smiley.

It is noteworthy to know that just because they do not see cryptocurrencies as asset doesn't mean they are not one. I do believe that is needed just like OP said is mainstream attraction which will be achieved only in a matter of time.
Ever since bitcoin was made, it has been gaining attention in the mainstream world at a tremendous rate and going by this rate, just a few more years is needed before world governments begin to adopt bitcoin and other crypto. Once this happens, it wouldn't take very long before the legal backing these skeptics have been looking for is gotten.
We all know bitcoin will surely and eventually be adopted by everyone over time
To be honest with the transaction fees amounts right now it is really difficult to expect cryptocurrencies being the mainstream payments anytime soon because the biggest advantage when I started using crypto was there was no platform fees unlike paypal or other payment processors but now with time the transaction fees has actually become a serious issue and I do not see a proper solution unless we actually adopt payment processors in crypto itself like bitpay and similar services but that kills the basic aim of crypto payments as again we have a payment processor in between.

I think maybe a crypto like Tron can be successful because of the no fees transactions but it is not nearly as famous as it should and really if mass adoption is expected and bitcoins is to be seen as a mainstream payment method then something has to be done for the fees on transactions.
3343  Economy / Economics / Re: Anybody here trying to live bankless (using Bitcoin / cryptocurrencies)? on: October 09, 2020, 12:56:22 PM
I would like that kind of living but we can't still do that in our country.
Same here and I believe for anyone in any country living solely on Bitcoins or crypto in general is actually next to impossible because there might be a few things and daily needs you might get with bitcoins like for example I do all my recharges, shopping through amazon with bitcoins via Bitrefill as they provide a great service for all these needs at a reasonable price and negligible fees.

But, living completely with crypto is not possible because no matter what but things like bill and taxes have to be paid in fiat.

I can use my Bitcoin through a local exchange but we are still limited to spend it since stores and merchants that accept it is not that many. We can buy through online stores but that would take time. Other essentials that I needed can't be used by it so if I will be using my Bitcoins that means I will be converting them to fiat, which also means we still needed the banks.

True that and I also earn bitcoins and cash them to fiat later so technically we all who earn through bitcoins are living on bitcoins just not directly but rather indirectly until all the stores and even the government legalize bitcoins which doesn't seem likely though.
3344  Economy / Speculation / Re: US economy won’t be charging upwards like we had hoped for on: October 09, 2020, 11:41:47 AM
I am not really shocked why he didn't get proper precautions, his voters are republicans and I am not saying that all republicans are against mask because they are not, some republicans are definitely supporting masks, but all the people who are against masks are republicans, that is a fact, there is only a few democrats who are against it, almost all maskless people are republicans. Which means if Trump really rallied his people around anti-mask that means he could have gotten away with more votes.

That is why he mocked Joe Biden for wearing a mask when in fact dude was infected with corona himself, it was Trump who should have wore "biggest mask he has ever seen" so that he could have stayed healthy, now he is getting world's best care while still thanking god and ignoring scientists who helps him.
3345  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does US election affect the bitcoin price? on: October 09, 2020, 05:28:12 AM
Honestly I haven't seen theymos write for so long, I understand that he doesn't roam around everywhere, there are places he goes and talks to and usually stays silent for the majority others but I guess making it about USA elections made him a bit more interested.

One can argue that he could be american as well from that. In any regards, I do not agree with him, there is only one thing that bitcoin compares to and it is digital gold, the other leveraged s&p 500 is only because there are times even gold can fall and during those times bitcoin is more volatile so acts a lot more radical while stock market goes down too, not like gold goes up every single day, it does fail to go up time to time and this is why people think they are related when that is not true.
3346  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it alright to invest with bitcoin at the current market price? on: October 09, 2020, 04:40:32 AM
Since you admitted to be a Bounty hunter then you should Only invest those money that gained from Bounties and not your personal money.
actually this is also what i did in my past bounties,all of them are being stocked in Bitcoin and until now i am holding them all for long term HODL.
This is a good idea but money you saved from bounties and other free sources will never give you the same confidence as investing your own money will because you will take better decisions when your actual and own money is involved and when you are holding only free earned coins that you sold and captured bitcoins you might be easily temped to sell when price drops.

So you are never late, get in right now if you want to and when it becomes 100k you can sell for x10, could it go down meanwhile? Sure it might but it still doesn't change the fact that you could sell it for a lot higher than other people who didn't buy can.
I love bitcoins as much as you do but aiming 100k is a bit too much because the price has been rather stable in recent times and there is really no reason to think that the price will reach 100k anytime soon and while it may actually touch 100k in maybe coming 5 years but really investing with such high hopes is a terrible idea in my opinion, be realistic with your approach and goals.
3347  Economy / Gambling / Re: btb88.com Casino & Sportsbook | NO DEPOSIT FREE BET | Licensed & Regulated on: October 08, 2020, 06:29:59 PM
Please can you update your thread title because it is a little bit misleading as you have mentioned NO DEPOSIT FREE BET while when I visit the website there is no such promotions and the only promotion I see for no-deposit is the referral bonus which cannot be classified as the free no deposit bonus right? I think you might have had such bonuses in past but because now you do not have such promotions and you are active on the forum please update the title.

I visited your website and I left as soon as I got to know that we have to provide ID verification even before we play and make any bets let alone withdraw so while it is good that you are regulated and moving safe but you will lose a lot of potential gamblers because of the policy.
3348  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔥 bestodds.ai | odds comparison site | we help you find the best odds on: October 08, 2020, 06:03:16 AM
I have never seen such  prompt reply and update. I wa thinking that you guys will take some time to update your website but you did it fast. Good to see such commitment . Thanks for the update I will surely recommend and consider you guys in the next game.
Yeah, I love their commitment and the promptness with which they add events and provide odds. One thing I would love to see them doing is to add in-play odds because a lot of times there is a big discrepancy in odds for live events and would be great to have a platform where we can check live odds for various events and specially esports because traditional sports like tennis and soccer have the similar odds everywhere but e-sports have a big discrepancy and would love to see a platform that solves this problem.

Good work overall though and certainly bookmarked it to visit quickly for pre-match odds and while it does not matter much but getting best odds by checking a website for 2 mins does not hurt either at all.
3349  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - Casino & Sportsbook - Lamborghini Giveaway! 🚀 🎰 🏀 ⚾ 🏈 �� 🥊 🎲 on: October 08, 2020, 04:24:59 AM
Im playing to the stake since last few years and I would say there is a lot of improvements happens or update such as more games added and more coins to be choosed which is really good as a player I really like to play to the gambling website having a lot of games and coins to use and stake.com is really one my favorite and it is one of the best gambling sites that I played so it recommendable for all.
One thing that they need to work on though is the number of times the website goes down and almost every weekend during stream Eddie promises us that this will not happen but I feel like someone is attacking the website by means of DDOS so hopefully they will fix it soon.

They are adding new games very quickly indeed and there are so many new games provider too. I have been wagering a lot lately to win that Lambo in the raffle that will be drawn on 12th December and there are 51 other winners too who will win $1k so hopefully I can hit that maybe at least if not a big Lambo. The way stake provides bonuses makes me feel like why other casinos are failing to do so because see stake provides weekly bonus, monthly bonus, daily reloads for platinums and then there are so many challenges going on their forum.
3350  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Outrageous trading fees, should I switch to stocks? on: October 07, 2020, 06:50:20 PM
I recommend that you use Kucoin, Binance has always been a great option, but as long as you don't have problems because when it comes to seeking support from their team, they require KYC. The taxes you are talking about are very expensive, you must realize that the Bitcoin market is much better than the stock market, volatility is the ingredient that not everyone can handle and above all take advantage of.
The problem is that he mentioned that there is only a single legal exchange in his country and the fees are abnormally high. I agree that making accounts on exchanges where KYC is not required might work but the truth is that those exchanges might not be legal and you are at risk of losing all your money just to save the 5%. Because any exchange that is legal would usually require you to submit KYC as does Binance and other exchanges and I have not used Kucoin so not sure if they are legit and why don't they require KYC.

Trying to save the 5% or 3% fees might force him to use an illegal exchange which ultimately eats all the coins so forget bout the fees just trade as legal as possible and if the sell/buy fees are high just trade in longer windows like holding for longer periods and then sell to cover the 3% fees.
3351  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the crypto market saturated? on: October 07, 2020, 05:53:50 PM
I think that there are two reasons for the appearance of new coins:
1. Created a product that has no analogues.
2. The desire of a group of people to grab some of the money from this business.
Therefore, the number of coins on the market will only increase. And this will mostly happen for the second reason that I pointed out.
Now a days there are at least lesser number of coins being created every day and this is because the investors have become smarter with time and do not just invest with any new coin that pops in the market. A few years back the ICO market had so much money that you launch a fake coin for fun in the market and the investors would flog each other to invest in the coin.

The main reason why there are and were so many coins is because there are almost no rules and regulations being in a decentralized system and anyone can make their own coin and make false promises and there is no way to find them once they get their money raised. If only this was being done centralized for example an authority was verifying the projects just imagine how cool it would be, but then it kills the real idea of decentralization.
3352  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance compared to other Crypto Exchange. on: October 07, 2020, 04:13:01 PM
Binance was simply the first and here is the right to be the first. This is supplemented by a clear strategy. Transparent rules and clear fees. No combination and with a good policy of holding chips and increasing the value of the BNB's own currency. To this various projects like business angels etc.
I dislike from Binance when your account get abnonormal activity and should submit your KYC for withdrawing, how ever I still not trusted with many exchange take our data and not exist an exchange for long time, we found many exchange have been scam and run away many investor assets and how come if an exchange have to submit KYC, will be our identity take by exchange market if they have gone, will have guarantee for an exchange keep safety for document member and investor. Just our opinion with many exchange have new method for withdrawing without have submit KYC.
Actually you should get the account verified as soon as possible such that there should be no chance for the exchange to ask your KYC once you start doing big trades. I have been a long time user of Binance and I never had any issues with them at all because I have my account verified and I even use them as a wallet which I know is not a great idea as everyone says we must not use exchange as a wallet but it is just so easy to maintain portfolio there that I never felt the need to create separate wallets and it is too much of hassle.

Binance is without a doubt the leader in the industry right now and there are solid reason because a couple months or an year ago, I don't remember the exact time but they got hacked and lost funds but they never let their traders and people holding coins lose their money.

While I was reading the article I was laughing hard when I heard that the investors invested under the guy because he said "high-profitable asset trader who never lost money during a trading day". I mean are the investors really kids? Either they are rich kids or they never had the knowledge that if any method was there and if there existed a system where he can always profit without having ANY chance of loss then he would have made millions and potentially taken a loan from banks.

He even tricked them into believing that he is trading 100 millions of dollars and later it was found that he moved a part of the funds for his gambling addiction lmao Lips sealed.
3354  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔥Sportbook and Casino: BITSLER > $10,000 DAILY Wagering contest < on: October 07, 2020, 04:07:36 AM
I recently started betting at bitsler and I am in love with the support and the community here but one thing I am really not impressed with is their sportsbook because often bets are stuck and pending for hours without a reason and sometimes the odds are not available for good events. I like the odds because they are better than most other crypto sportsbook but the settlement of bets needs to be worked upon and everything will be perfect then. I understand that sports have been only recently added for betting but that cannot be an excuse for bad experience right? Smiley.

I love the dice and other games especially the Boom where I have been lucky enough to have wins on 20-30 odds. Also when I was chatting last night someone told me that we get nitro (faucet) when we reach diamond so I am grinding towards that too.
3355  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit – The original crash game on: October 06, 2020, 04:52:16 PM
A Bustabit user named “WangTang_V2” just made a MASSIVE 109 BTC bet (~$11,300,000 USD) with a successful cashout at 1.02x. The win paid the user 2.18 BTC (~$22,600 USD).

Tweet: https://twitter.com/gmblngsitefindr/status/1304646769096232961

Game Result: https://www.bustabit.com/game/3677040

This is the largest bet ever placed on BaB, correct?  Shocked

I would like to know whether he was able to successfully cash out those winning amount out of Bustabit ?

This win is just amazing and show how one can change his or her fortune from gambling.

There have been amounts withdrawn bigger than this..
This might have been the biggest bet, but there was alot of money withdrawn but alot of money lost also Cheesy
The difference between "wagered amount" and "win amount" are different things. Win amount is when you wager and win some money, for example you can wager 1 bitcoin and put a stop at 5x and if you win that you get 5 bitcoins, twice as large as this win, and you only wagered 1 bitcoin compared to 100+. Wagered is the money you put in, if you put in 100 bitcoins and stop at 1.02 you get 2 bitcoins, that is how it works.

This dude wasn't the biggest winner for sure, there have been much much more money won here, however one thing is for sure, this might be the biggest wagered amount or it is up there with some others. I personally haven't seen anyone wager as much as this person did, it is certainly looking like it is probably top 10 and probably it could be the best one.

Sometimes the news have more effect on the market than anything. It’s good that we know technical analysis but I have seen times that experts we do technical analysis to predict the future of the market and then there will some news of an event that will affect the market and cause it to move the opposite direction.

If you decide that you want to be a trader, then you have to understand the market; you should be aware of everything that’s happening and how they can affect the market, and you should also be good at technical analysis. Anything you want to do, make sure you are good at it.
3357  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trying to share wisdom on: October 06, 2020, 09:21:00 AM
There is a practice that many do, which is to buy and sell, as they do in localbitcoins.com, they buy low and then sell high, generally this works wonders in countries with inflationary economies, from a point of view of Saving is quite beneficial, because the money in local currency increases as time goes by, sometimes in a day you can earn a lot of money, but you must do the transactions very quickly so that it is not dangerous to lose.
Actually these trades yield a massive amount of income but only if and once you become a recognized trader and know how much fees you have to pay on each trade as taxes to the government and making sure you are doing it legally.

I have seen the variance in buy and sell on localbitcoins is easily around 5-8% on average in buy-sell and once who buys from users earns like 8% on buying trades and then 8% on sell trades, all he needs is a good reputation and a genuine setup but it is not as easy as it sounds though because I myself tried this and people are really smart and try various methods to scam you like fake messages, fake transactions and even carded funds.
3358  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin reach to $100K ? on: October 06, 2020, 08:18:13 AM
It's still questionable this year and will not going to reach that level, maybe in three years time I don't see a big happening that can make the price to reach $100k we'll just take it as it comes and stop hoping for $100 k unless we see something big that will make us realize that it's possible.
Well, the all time high was already 20k and once the market starts going up it really rockets up real quick. I am quote sure towards the end of this year we might see around 20k value being reached which might not be sustained for long but I am really positive that at least $18k will be touched once by the end of the year or maybe early next year.

Although I am positive but I am not making any trades based on that theory because the market might even go down towards the end of year but one thing that is almost certain is that the market will change quite rapidly around the New Year time and the best time for investors and even for people who want to divest maybe.

Stop expecting 100k and be happy that we have come so far because expecting too much and $100k is an exaggeration which will only make you feel bad when it doesn't reach that value.
3359  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Big Short movie, BTC edition? on: October 06, 2020, 07:17:45 AM
Whenever USDT prints out more money whenever they feel like it, they cause the bitcoin price to both go up but also long term go down. The reason it goes up is the simple fact that they do not always end up giving it all for money, so they end up buying bitcoins with it, a lot more USDT equals a lot more money in the market and that makes it go up.

However USDT is not continuing the way they printed so it makes sense that volatility stopped. Bitmex deal probably won't be a big issue since now there are other places you can do this, plus people can still withdraw from bitmex, hence I believe they will just find another bitmex for themselves and that will be the end of the story for them. Only people who need to worry about this is the bitmex people who got jailed.
3360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin sportsbook bonuses on: October 05, 2020, 07:00:53 PM
Hi, can you recomend me some good BTC sportsbook site that have welcome bonus ?
Thank you in advance.
There are good sportsbook that actually allow the use of Bitcoin and good bonus for deposits. Though, the deposits depends on the bonuses, here are some good sportsbook with Bitcoin that you can tried out   Sportsbook that allow Bitcoin . You're highly welcome to  checkout my signature gambling casino for good bonuses. The said gambling casino(in the signature) you can make cash back around 15% while on slot games.
The list you gave actually shows the websites that accept crypto as a payment method but I cannot find the bonus information on the given link. I like how they have mentioned the global ranking but there is even more room for adding details like bonuses and a few other details.

By the way talking of welcome bonus, sportsbet.io used to offer some nice 6mbtc free bet earlier but now they do not provide any welcome bonus, not one I am aware of at least. So, maybe cloudbet is the only casino that offers welcome bonus and actually welcome bonus are rarely found now days because there are abusers who will just make tons of accounts and look to drain out the casino/sportsbook.
