If you are under 10 years olds , fairly tales are nice.

But when you grow up ,
basing your life and money on the ramblings of retards claiming a get rich scheme will change your life ,
will bring you nothing but poverty and problem.

If some jackass is at a street corner screaming how if you give him $20 , he will make you rich next week,
don't take it as prophecy, take it for what it is , an asshat scamming you out of your money so he can have it.

Bitcoin is the same.  Tongue
It's sad but fairy tales are still nice and attractive, somehow true in eyes of lot of people (cloud mining, hyips and etc).
But can't say that there is a same scenario here because do you remember what was reaction when people were saying bitcoin will reach 20k when price was even 600$? And remember how soon that happened? This man's prediction doesn't sound illogical, I think there is high chance that will happen in near future plus if we consider the fact that we have upcoming halving which will hit soon, this was also one of the major factor which lead bitcoin's price to rise from 600$ to 20K usd, old halving caused very positive feelings among people and hope we will see the same in near future too, otherwise it's not even possible I think.
3382  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Online Casino has the Most Fun Games? Recommendations? on: September 26, 2019, 02:54:55 PM
Like many of you, I've been struggling to find genuinely fun games to play at online casinos.

I've already gotten tired of crash type games, so have moved onto quirky card games.

I'm currently having fun playing Bankers Bull at BetHash, but looking to try out some other cool games too.



Any recommendations?
Do you know new gambling website micerace.com? They have mice race in live and you can bet at them, personally I didn't find that funny but maybe you will, who knows.
Haven't seen any new game that's different from others, btw bustabit is good too. For me some bonus and features makes game funny too, for example free wager contest on bitsler and free slot spins on other websites.
Also I found it funny when you play blackjack with live dealers, you'll find dealer with good sense of humor and you can really have a fun while playing it.
3383  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Ebay-like website that accepts bitcoin? on: September 26, 2019, 02:27:06 PM
I am wondering if there is an auction website like ebay, or anything similar that accepts bitcoins.
And please can you tell us what is demand? Because if you are looking for wide options, there is nothing that can change ebay and if you want to sell something, I highly doubt you'll achieve huge audience for your product, currently nothing can change ebay. But if you own for example Casascius physical bitcoins, then this forum is amazing place to sell too because a lot of people buy and sell it through auction.
Since nothing can take place of ebay as for now, better to exchange your fiat into bitcoin.
3384  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fiat-to-crypto: is it safe? on: September 26, 2019, 01:55:42 PM
Personally, I believe that both fiat centralized exchanges and bitcoin debit cards providers defeat the whole purpose of crypto, and I would rather use on decentralized/P2P platforms instead. But there are many people who don't mind going through these KYC procedures just because using these exchanges is more convenient and much faster.

These platforms are clearly not safe, because you never know what your data are being used for and even If nothing malicious is being done from the service's part, there is always a possibility of your data being hacked/leaked.
Cmon man, you can't run official exchange without requesting KYC documents from your clients, also it's better for governments and financial institutes to have imagination about how money moves from their exchange which mostly includes illegal things too. Just see, almost every official exchange (if not 100%) requires KYC, otherwise you can't run that business.
Still that's not safe OP, your data may be leaked and a lot of exchanges have that issues, I don't know why but seems their security isn't still good.
For getting fiat without KYC, better to ask people there fiat/btc exchange, for example skrill, paypal and etc, you will find someone with whom you'll negotiate.
3385  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Supply is meeting demand. The number of Bitcoin ATMs worldwide is up over 500% on: September 25, 2019, 11:50:45 PM
Hey, it's Bitrawr. I've been following the Bitcoin ATM landscape for a while now and recently drew attention to the latest figures.

The number of Bitcoin ATMs from September 2016 to September 2019 has increased by over 500%. As of now, there are currently 5,457 Bitcoin ATMs globally. I believe that this is indicative of the strong demand for anonymously transacting between fiat/bitcoin.

https://twitter.com/bitrawr/status/1174682600834764803
Well, maybe supply is meeting demand but in overall bitcoin ATM's don't meet our requirements and to be fair as I see bitcoin ATMs are rarely used, just their locations are expanding, will be curious to see what's average profit from bitcoin ATMs in different countries. They need to change fees, it's insane, that's maybe why I very rarely see btc ATMs used by people. Almost everyone prefers to convert bitcoin into usd and then withdraw by bank's ATM they are using.
But still curious, why so much growth, I think quality over quantity will be better ration than current one we are seeing.

The archived topic comes from the Russian forum. This man takes any opportunity to talk bad about BTC or BTC related stuff

Quote
Maybe it has something to do with issues of his own Games gambling website being accused of SCAM
No mate, this is Roger Ver lifestyle (misleading people, lying, posting fake pictures, fake events,...)
Shady behaviors again, I think he is doing his best in destroying his reputation rather than others'. I don't know why this man believes that shady promotion works, no, it lessens your chances because as time goes, everyone sees that you are liar. I think this man is even trying to sink his project.
Btw did Roger forget that he was running signature campaign on bitcointalk? If this website is bad and useless and his forum is better, then just tell me, why to promote on bitcointalk? Especially when you consider this forum and owners your and your loved one BCH's enemy.
3387  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: this is what every country will do on: September 25, 2019, 10:34:35 PM
The most curious thing here is that Money Launderers run anti-money laundering regulations and as always, they blame cryptocurrencies (Do they forget Deutchebank and others?).
Well, at some point yeah, I agree that cryptocurrencies are used for money laundering by a lot of individuals and it really required some actions to stop them. I think Lithuania have to grow base money for reporting because they have to consider that most of cryptocurrency users are investors too and invest decent amount of money which will lead to a higher $ in transactions.
3388  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Freebitco SCAM-Revealed --Big Scammer of all time on: September 25, 2019, 09:51:26 PM
Wait, does freebitco change your seeds without asking? Idk, have to check.
Freebitco is very different from other websites, for playing dice, it's not a great option because as it was mentioned for many times, they have 5% house edge which is insane but at the same time they offer multiple promotions behind it which includes lottery tickets and some extra prizes, you can earn points for all of this in one dice game. For dice experience they aren't good but if your aim is to test your luck in winning different things by playing dice, more likely test your luck in lottery, then they aren't bad for that. Btw this website exists for a long time, a lot of people were using them when they had first steps in bitcoin so at some point I respect this website.
3389  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Cryptocurrency threatens governments on: September 25, 2019, 09:13:28 PM
Cryptocurrency scares the governments because it is a complete practice of decentralization which allows the people to gain absolute financial freedom without the interruption of any third party. Here, transactions can be scanned but the entities involved are not known. With this, the government thinks it is being robbed of its power to hold control over the financial transactions of the people. Also, some governments are of the conception that crypto is involved in drug trafficking, the purchase of stolen materials on dark web, money laundering etc.
Btw the last proposal is true and we can't deny that but at the same time the real problem is that government doesn't want crypto adoption because of that reason and also because that people who have ban on bank accounts or have unpaid loan. can still touch money online. So they want adoption but at the same time they want control on it, that's why they are lost in vein, but as I see they slowly start adopting, for example it's possible to pay taxes in btc in Ohio state.
3390  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: i failed in day trading on: September 24, 2019, 04:46:31 PM
i have learn technical analysis and practicing it for many months now i am good at it , but when it comes to day trading stocks move as market moves if markets go up stocks go up and if market falls stocks fall where does technical analysis , how to do day trading

my question is about stocks not crypto
Doesn't matter whether question is about stock or crypto, the solution is that you have to give up on day trading. Do you feel happy every day? I think no but sometimes there are moments which make you happy, for example gifts and etc, can say the same about trading too. New day isn't new opportunity here, sometimes it's better to take day off, maybe even weeks, your target must be to catch good moment when it worths for you to buy or sell bitcoin. With catching good moments, you'll gain profit. Everyday trading will make you anxious and possibly lead to loss.
3391  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: cryptozapper.com -- who are they? on: September 24, 2019, 02:46:53 PM
http://cryptozapper.com/

Does anybody know these guys?
Are they reliable business partners?


What kind of partnership you are dealing with the site?

I don't see any of their services. Just the usual crypto news site and current ICO's directoand ry.

Well if this post is part of an advertisement, then you got me now as one of the visitors.

We are raidofinance.eu
No, it's not adv.

We began to work with cryptozapper.com -- and our work isn't quite good.
How did you colaborate with a website which you have no idea what it is? Also before directly jumbing on cryptozapper, you may have heard about website cointelegraph.com and if not, then that's a huge issue. As user above me mentioned, their template is clone of cointelegraph which absolutely destroys cryptozapper in my eye. Website can't even create template, copies it and claims in foother: all rights reserved (while in reality - not).
I think it will be better to check crypto related news websites again, top ones are: cointelegraph, coindesk, ccn. At least avoid websites with template of these three to easily filter unwanted websites.
3392  Other / Meta / Re: Root cause of permanent bans because of plagiarism made years ago on: September 24, 2019, 12:39:37 PM
People hope to use plagiarism to achieve financial gain.
Is it really that difficult to write 2 or 3 sentences on your own on a topic that interests you without cheating!? We have so many different boards filled with threads of every possible genre you don't even need extensive knowledge to be able to participate in the discussions. Threads where all you need to do is express your own opinion and than people can't even do that and they have to copy someone else's. 
To be fair it's very difficult to write 2-3 sentence when you have zero wish of it and do it for the sake of signature for example, that's the problem. And even worse problem is that there were signature campaigns with normal payments for such people, for example secondstrade and yobit. Also ranking was dependent on activity, when people were creating accounts and leaving them abandoned for a while, number of activity was increasing virtually, all you needed was to post in order to awake those activity points and grow your rank, so copying of others posts was very easy and time saving. After some activity, in late phases they were going to move from copy posts to self written posts, this way there were hiding their past activity, that's all what I can say on old cases.
If anyone does plagiarism now, I have no idea why.
3393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin and casinos on: September 24, 2019, 11:35:59 AM
I have worked for a few years in a casino and I couldn't help but imagine that people should be able to gamble with bitcoin.

Is it already happening? - I don't mean on the internet

And do you think this will be future of casinos?
Is it already happening? Oh no, I have never read news about casino which accepts or plans to accepts bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Casinos are still considered as a way of money laundering, so adding a cryptocurrencies will be a huge disadvantage for casino owners. By the way if we can consider it as a good news and one step, Evolution Gaming has contract with some crypto casinos and offer them their service, live blackjack and etc, some of them even has own table.
On another hand there is not significant demand on bitcoin in any particular country to push casinos to accept bitcoin and it's another task what will be governments reaction. Also in overall I think media will start to write bullshit around bitcoin once casinos accept them with titles like - a cryptocurrency that increases number of gamblers and etc silly ones.
3394  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Escrow and how to trust them on: September 23, 2019, 07:18:57 PM
Hey i understand the meaning of escrow and how do they work. But how do you know to trust them? Are they approved by the forum or anyone else?
No one has guarantee of trustworthyness of any person, especially online on forums but here is another thing, these persons gained trust among people because of their good story, we have to risk and trust someone sometimes, that's how others risked in past and what we get now as a result.
For example Ognasty was carrying forum treasure, a lot of bitcoins for years which he returned recently.
Forum escrows trustworthyness are similar of bitcoin mixers.
3395  Economy / Economics / Re: INFLATION IN THE UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES on: September 23, 2019, 06:41:11 PM
The world economy keeps crashing with many incidence of inflation. What is happening at the moment is  a clear indication of a world that has failed the minority. Although the underdeveloped countries could partly be blamed for the high inflation that exists in their respective economies. Would things turn around for good  if underdeveloped countries start to add value to their natural resources themselves without selling to the countries with good economy?
Problem in most of these countries is that they can't produce mostly anything and are importing things, for this reason they hugely depend on national currency / usd exchange ratio. So when they buy things from outside, more usd goes from their country, so national currency gets weak, because of weak national currency people try to stick with usd which makes it even weaker. So as a result we get increased prices on everything while work salary gets decreased or the same. In overall this causes huge economic fall.
3396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why will BTC halving stimulate price growth? on: September 22, 2019, 08:52:04 PM
I hear a lot of discussion around BTC halving that is expected in May 2020.
Many people are confident that this event will trigger the next bull run.

What is the logic behind this?
Logic is that mining profitability affects bitcoin's price too. Nowdays mininf isn't so profitable as it was in past, more likely it turned into commercial thing because mining companies have a lot of equipments and good electricity rates which still leaves some profit for them while it doesn't worth at home for individual.
So halving means that number of mined bitcoins per block will be half which means almost zero profit. In order to keep mining and profit, we need higher price of bitcoin. In overall halving has very positive impact on people and combination of this and in overall halving situation, price will rise.
3397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can more ATM's increase adoption for Bitcoin? on: September 22, 2019, 05:10:55 PM
To be fair, no and let me explain why:
1. Current Bitcoin ATMs, each of them has huge fees which makes it very impractical to use, doesn't worth paying 10% and higher fees to just withdraw bitcoin, lower it up to 2% and that will be a whole different situation.
2. You can easily convert Bitcoin into USD with attractive rate and then withdraw from any ATM with your card, for example take XAPO, I mean service similar of them and such services are growing, in some countries even banks offer you crypto exchange. So that sounds more practical for me rather than sending bitcoin from your wallet to btc ATM.
I think these two reasons are valid against your question.
3398  Economy / Economics / Re: CASHING OUT YOUR CRYPTO-CURRENCY PROFITS on: September 22, 2019, 04:01:11 PM
Hi everybody, I have a serious question to address:

How will you tell (or reveal) to your Bank that the huge daily (or weekly) deposits into your Bank Account are from crypto-currency profits?
- Would you go to your local Bank Branch and tell them ahead of time, that you are a crypto-currency investor BEFORE you make huge deposits?
- Would you go to your local Bank Branch and tell them that you are a crypto-currency investor AFTER you make huge deposits?

This question is important, especially for people of modest income that SUDDENLY start to make huge profits from crypto-currency.

EDIT: I would love to pop into my Local Bank branch (in the United Kingdom) to tell them that I am into crypto, but I am a local person in the area - I do not want to attract attention to myself (or to attract potential thieves), because we do not really know who these Bank staff really are, or if they have connections to the criminal underworld.
I do not want to turn myself into a local target.




Do you really have so much profit from cryptocurrencies that you are considering to tell banks about that in order to get rid of unwanted doubts?
Well, I think you have to contact bank, not to introduce real you but call just like a random guy and ask them these questions, if you have to pay taxes for serious crypto income. If you are free from it, then just do deposits and if they have some doubts, explain them your situation, source of your income, that you are 100% transparent and don't hide anything (I mean illegal activities). Otherwise don't know what to suggest, I think this is good deal here. Make a phone call at first and ask any question you wish.
3399  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your best profitable live casino game. on: September 19, 2019, 11:58:22 PM
These days you can play online cards games and gamble with low amounts without going to real casino with high minimum bets amount. And many of us are playing these games like roulette, blackjack, dream catcher, deal or no deal and so many online games.
For me i spend a lot of time playing blackjack with low amount but i get some real profits everytime and i think because i stop playing in the right time when I'm in the top and i don't gamble with high amounts.
In your opinion what's your best profitable game and do you have a good experience with it ?
We can't call a game profitable which is based on luck, well at least I can't. We can call profitable game a games like chess for example, if you are great at chess then it's profitable for you because this game is strategy based. On another hand still if we talk about casino games, for me the most profitable game is Poker because not only you rely on cards here but bleffing plays a huge role too, from you and also from player where you have to guess whether he/she is bleffing or not.
Also game depends on casino too, for example there are a lot of casinos but with different promotions. Let's take Bitsler's dice with btslr coin, you lose nothing but keep a chance of winning good amount of money.
3400  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How much do you think Bitcoin.com is worth, what price would Roger sell? on: September 19, 2019, 11:13:54 PM

Please can you share the history of bitcoin.com domain?

According to the man himself (if you can bear to give him a click)
https://news.bitcoin.com/the-history-of-bitcoin-com-an-introduction-to-our-new-company-blog/
If you can't

Quote
Bitcoin.com was registered in January of 2008, a year before the protocol was released by Satoshi Nakamoto back in January of 2009. After the domain was created, one of the earliest bitcoin exchanges, Tradehill, took over the website six years ago but the ownership didn’t last long. The trading platform fell apart, and the domain was then transferred over to Roger Ver in April of 2014.
Ver explains that he purchased Bitcoin.com for an undisclosed sum. Originally Blockchain.info was going to use the website as the main landing page Ver says, but the idea never came to fruition.
Following this Ver negotiated a deal with the Chinese exchange, Okcoin, to lease the website as he had several other offers from interested parties. Ver says that Okcoin provided the best offer for the lease agreement and the two parties worked out an arrangement.
Okcoin didn’t put much work into the website’s design and in May of 2015 Ver revealed to the public that the exchange owed him funds for overdue payments. Ver explains that “Okcoin breached the agreement in every manner possible.”

 
Despite the fact that this site is under Roger's management and all of his work is shit done for the sake of bitcoin cash (You can't imagine how much he hurts when he hears first bitcoin and then cash), this article is still educational for me so why not to bear?
Bitcoin cash was splitted in august 2017 and this article was written in september 2017, so it's not modified for the sake of bch yeah? I don't remember if he was supporter of BCH from the very first begining.
Btw this domain's price won't be high in overall because this domain was and is used as owners wish, it has low reputation despite the fact that it's .com domain of major cryptocurrency. Domain supporting bitcoin, then bitcoin cash and then who knows that, maybe ripple? lol
