3401  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is Best Trading or Freelancing? on: May 10, 2020, 08:52:29 AM
The truth is that that you cannot make good money with freelancing, the only thing where you can make money is trading but for trading you would need a good revenue and expertise in trading otherwise you will just loose because the good exchanges has high trading fee and it is difficult that you could generate profit.

I found there that many youtube channels are promoting freelancing but they are just misleading you. Freelancing has no more scope. Do not waste your time by learning anything related to freelancing. Instead learn something about trading.
Who told you that people don't make enough money through freelancing? If you're going to judge it that way, then I would say that trading is the worst. Before you start trading you will need to have enough money, unlike freelancing, trading requires money to start and not just small money. And another thing is that there is no guarantee you will make profit as a trader, you might start and lose your money in the risky business of trading. The both of them are good, just find what works for you.

I am a freelancer and I'm also a trader and these two are just a part time job for me, because I work in an office. I have been able to make a lot of income from freelancing more than I have done in day trading cryptocurrency, except HODL. While there are some of my friends who are interested in freelancing but have not been able to get a single project. So you just have to find what you think you're good at, and something you love.
3402  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are you using a trading bot? on: May 08, 2020, 09:05:57 PM
Finding those parameters that could make you profit is not really easy, it takes time to find it and every situation requires different strategy, not every single day is the same and that is why it requires different approaches. So, you basically need to literally be in front of PC every day all the time to figure out what situation the market is in and then put that strategy to your bot as well. At that point I could just manually trade, what is the point of a bot if it can't deduce what we are in and change accordingly.

Most of the bots are just doing what I tell it to do, none of them could make profit depending on the situation or simply just close when they think it is going to plummet. Hence that is why I am not using anything anymore, they are worthless.
3403  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: May 08, 2020, 07:52:47 PM
@Ronnie. Here is another idea for you. Offer odds for which bitcoin mining pool will find the 2020 halving block? I reckon it would be easy to set the odds which would clearly depend on their hashrate.



The pools which have the highest hash rates, and therefore the most potential to find the halving block, which is block 630,000, include F2Pool, Poolin, Antpool, and BTC.com. Notably, F2Pool found the halving block in 2016, so if they find it this year it will be the first time in history that a pool has found two different halving blocks.

Source https://cryptoiq.co/slushs-pool-found-the-halving-block-in-2012-and-f2pool-found-it-in-2016-which-pools-have-the-highest-odds-of-finding-the-halving-block-in-2020/
Mining pools are not always that easy to confirm most of the times, I mean it is after a certain time if you check but it would be very difficult to automatically do it, so you would have to manually check which one mined it and go back.

Plus there should definitely be an "other" option in something like that which should get a great odd because even though the big mining pools are responsible for most of the mining, there is still a lot of p2p miners as well, not everyone really works with a pool anymore, it became something like a team after a while instead of a helper like it was back in the day. I would say the price of bitcoin at the time of halving is also a great one, you could argue that it could be higher due to it or lower because of it, and there could be a biiiig range of price as well.

Seriously, when someone doesn't provide any proof at all and just talks profanity it basically confirms that they are wrong. I am not saying betroar is the best casino or anything like that, they are certainly unique and I like it for that but it really just a place that you can gamble and there are a lot of places you can gamble as well, so this place is unique but if they didn't existed the gambling world wouldn't stop.

However these guys are legit, they have showed all the things you have done and basically showed all the proof that there was a problem as well with your accounts and how you didn't played fairly and all that. In return? You basically just called them a motherf**ker scammer and that is it, I am sorry but it is quite easy to make a pick here who is right and who is wrong.
3405  Economy / Gambling / Re: ♨️🎲 WINDICE.io 🎲 Contests 🏆 TvT 🔰 Progressive Faucet💰 Jackpots 🎁❤ on: May 05, 2020, 04:14:16 PM
It's been always a question for me, whether they are wagering so much for the contest, or they are just high rollers always wagering big amounts. From the perspective of profitability it's irrational to wager 47.9 BTC, like lordpadel here



in order to win 0.012 BTC as a prize, because you are likely to lose 0.47 BTC along the way. So, I'm inclined to believe that they are not doing it for the contest, but rather high rollers doing it on a regular basis.

@betwrong you’re absolutely correct as he’s indeed playing big just for fun sakes, and now I’m totally convinced that big players do come and play at Windice regularly (mostly in contests though).
Well, I remember the early days and I can promise you that early ones were all because of the competition and not because they were gambling anyway. I have seen casinos like that, winner having 387 btc wagering while the second had like 2, so obviously that dude didn't wagered because if competition at all.

However remember the times when rodolman was playing and so forth, those days were basically for pure competition because same person won with 4, with 10, with 33 and so forth (I am making up the numbers because I can't remember them exactly), which means dude just aimed at being the top wagering without spending too much, just enough to be first. However obviously that could change with time, maybe it is not like that anymore, but I can tell you it was like that back in the day.
3406  Economy / Economics / Re: Get ready for more tax. Save your BTC! on: May 04, 2020, 05:32:17 PM
Taxes are some of the biggest dilemmas in the whole world, and that makes me really sad. Normally why do people get taxed?
Well, because they pay taxes to get something in return. When you get robbed and cops show up, do you pay for them? No. When your house gets burned down, you call firefighters, do you pay them? No.

Well, for some reason there are lines in nations and all nations have different lines, some have free healthcare while others don't, some have free education while others don't, some have UBI (rare) and welfare while many don't. Basically, taxes should be used for goodness of the population. However, the most common thing you can hear from people is that their taxes do not go back to them directly and usually some people take their taste first, which is why they hate taxes, and that saddens me.
3407  Economy / Economics / Re: Anybody here trying to live bankless (using Bitcoin / cryptocurrencies)? on: May 04, 2020, 04:00:45 PM
The closest I can tell you is, I never had a credit card and I never taken out a loan before, so I can say that I have never ever owned any bank in my life. That is personally of course, my wife has a credit card and I am lucky enough to pay that... lol.

So I kinda do pay the banks, but I do keep my own personal banks always debt free, which I really cherish, I know it may sound like "well your wife has one" is like a loophole thing, but its actually quite smart to keep one of you debt free and one of you paying their debt constantly. That way when it comes to taking out a loan one day (hope never happens) I can take out a huge loan for both reasons. I obviously would want to live my life debt free on both sides if I can afford it but sometimes life is just too expensive.
3408  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Crypto Jobs 2020 on: May 04, 2020, 11:03:47 AM
Honestly it will get bigger and bigger and bigger. Right now it is definitely more compared to 5 years ago, and it will be a lot more 5 years from now as well. Which is why I think people should be focusing on improving themselves, if you improve yourself starting from now, you will definitely be capable of finding a job eventually. It will not be easy, it will take time, but at the same if you do not start from now, you will never reach there.

So, if you are saying it will take years before you can be employed in crypto jobs and don't start because of it, that means you will not really be capable forever, however if you really start right now, definitely will be able to reach to that point one day. That is why I suggest everyone to pick up some career in crypto today, work free if you have to but you will reach to that level eventually to get paid decently.
3409  Economy / Speculation / Re: say welcome to THE FOMO... on: May 03, 2020, 06:08:42 PM
Yeah, the prices usually go up and down during the weekend a lot in any other period. However we are in a global pandemic that keeps billions of people at home, do you really think that Friday to Monday makes any change when everyone is at home? It could still potentially do it but I am not sure the real reason behind it so I am not sure. Does the price changes so much so quickly because people trade a lot more during weekends when they have the time for it?

Or is it more about trades being more active on forex and stocks etc during the week and when its weekend they move to crypto to keep on trading and make more money? If it is the first one, I think there is really no reason why there should be too much changes, but if it is the second I can understand it.
3410  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin back to $8000 on: May 03, 2020, 05:04:28 PM
We could simply just stay around here as well, there is no reason for bitcoin to make another move, it doesn't "have to", I am not saying it won't but it really doesn't have to do any moves at all. Bitcoin price could be in the 8.5k and 9.5k levels for months now, that is a viable option for it. It is both not too big to make a sell pressure at all, you are not going to make a big profit even with short futures by just selling bitcoin, it didn't increased all that much, and you are not going to have a huge increase neither and not going to profit from it, only the people with very high leverages could make money from bitcoins movements right now.

If it was 5k I would say it could x2, if it was 20k I would say it could have dropped x2, but right now it doesn't look like its going to make a huge change.
3411  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crucial month ahead: Bitcoin goes to 20k or 3k range on: May 03, 2020, 04:02:49 PM
Isn't that the whole purpose, there is no trader in the whole world that constantly make profits without ever losing, everyone loses time to time and that is normal, a trader can't win them all. However as long as you make more profits than you lose, there is really nothing to worry about, the bigger the difference the better.

You can start with 1000 dollars, make it 1500 dollars and drop to 1200 dollars, that is still 200 dollar profit that you should be looking at, there is nothing wrong with the drop because in the end you still made a profit. Markets could be very very scary if you are new, however learning about getting out at the right time and getting in at the right time could change so much, a lot of people joined in at the 6k price of bitcoin for example, why? Because 4-5k was risky, and waiting even more would have been too late.

It should be available on the dice game, so you need to open the dice game first to find the faucet. It is how it looks like on mobile browser but of course you can find it if you access it on your PC http://imgur.com/gallery/QFSOnZU
Be sure that all your balance (except FJC) is 0 or under 10 satoshi in order to claim the faucet.
He asking on the beta website, not on the main website.

If you see on the beta website there is no faucet at all, also the dice completely different from the main website from the interface. On the beta site, the dice games were divided into 2 type games of dice, Dice X & Dice Y.

Until right now, I still don't know the difference between these 2 of type dice.
The "free btc" might have confused people, normally in other places it is called faucet because faucet is where you get the money but then you play with it, the withdraw limit is so much higher that there is barely any possibility that you could withdraw it, surely it is not going to be impossible, there is mathematically a possibility of that, however we all know that is not going to happen at all.

Leaving that aside I think the new versions "idea" is great, sure there are some stuff that is bugged and needs improvement and all of that, but when you released the beta all I was focusing on the direction you guys were taking, at least understanding the concept of it and all that. Looking at that part, it looks cool, with right amount of fixes this will be awesome.

Why me!!!
This is 2nd time today I lost when I had AA. Fucking luck always leaves me alone. It was a free roll by the way. I wanted to keep me busy for the next few hours but in first 15 minutes, I am out LOL

Outsch, I feel you bro, but there is not much you can do. You played the hand correctly and you just got unlucky. You should always remember: It's poker and these things happen, but as long as you get your money in as a favorite, you will make money long-term.

And don't worry these things don't happen exclusively to you. I bubbled the Sunday Million on Stars (215$ buyin) a few weeks ago with AA vs 82. Its needless to say, that I broke my computer mouse after that suck-out.  Wink
Poker is kind of like that, there is really not much you can do about it. I remember I was watching a youtube video (I can't remember the link now) that showed the most unbelievable hands that lost, so the point of the video was to find hands that are super awesome that eventually lost to even better hands.

I remember so many hands that I would literally put my house on the pot if I had that hand and they ended up losing (hence why we could understand I don't play too much poker anymore). So those kinds of stuff happens, 4 aces could end up losing, I remember that video had couple of 4 aces that lost, as long as you do not have flush royal there is really no way that you won't lose at all, of course it all depends on the cards but every single hand outside of flush royal could end up losing if they are unlucky enough.
3414  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Correction in the next days? on: May 02, 2020, 05:35:47 PM
There was no correction going on at the level people are thinking. We already had one that dropped the price from 9.4k levels to 8.8k levels and that was correction enough. If anything happens nowadays I am pretty sure it would be simply just bitcoin moving downwards normally, not a correction but just a sell off, and I do not see it happening anytime soon with the halving coming around neither. So, what happened already happened and right now its time for buyers once again.

Bear callers have been really dreaming about the drop in march and I get it, they have always been wanting bitcoin to fall in price and it did and they were very happy, but that period is now over, we were over 9k and still close to it now, so it is bulls time to show what they are made of.
3415  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need advice on becoming a successful trader on: May 02, 2020, 04:21:23 PM
Only 2 weeks into learning process? Then you entered into short term trading and then margin trading? Don't you think like you are in rush?

You sound like you are familiar with most of aspects of trading but probably you must need some plans like when to trade and when to stay away. I mean you must work on finding what are you are favorable market conditions where you are able to make profits and what other situations where you are unable to predict market fluctuations.

Even crypto market is available for trading all 24 hours, you can make profit only when there are more major news are happening or not happening or like when USA traders are sleeping like that you need to find your appropriate/favorite session for trading. This is just an example. but, it will help you to understand what you exactly need to be successful.

Finally, you must focus on learning and getting familiarize with predicting market directions. Youtube tutorials will be more than enough for that. Then slowly develop your own strategy which should be specific to your capital and risk levels and then test it in papers then enter into market with least capital.
3416  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Chasing the bull run on: May 02, 2020, 03:11:29 PM
To chase the bullrun is to buy when the market spikes up enough to cause a FOMO and provide sufficient support for even greater prices. Such an investor would jump into the market at the start of a bullrun, to ride the waves all the way up. There are some pros and cons to this strategy;
•It typically requires less hodling time, than a long term investment, but;
•The market is unpredictable; a spike in the price does not always signify a bull run, and the investor is at the risk of experiencing a reversal in the market and seeing his assets lose value.
In short, if you look for cashes out in quicker duration then the chances to get stuck is more. Still, it is purely depending on the sustaining level of market fluctuations in bullish trend. If your technical analysis supports you to buy at current levels for the protection of upcoming another rally then you can risk by chasing the bulls. Market is always unpredictable hence anything may happen; trailing stoploss will help on the cases of unexpected sudden market reversal.

Personally I never suggest anyone to enter when market is showing raid movements like 20% changes in last 24hrs or even in 48hrs. It is always easier to fish with no tides. At the same time, buying is recommended after a pullback which happens as a part of rapid rally; it is like buying at dips with expectation of continuation of domination of bulls Wink.
3417  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is day trading is good in crypto market? on: May 02, 2020, 02:24:11 PM
short trading is always better when the market is fluctuating because the prices may drop suddenly it will lead to losing huge amount of money. Day trading will be much beneficial to those people who have a huge amount of money because they will easily manipulate the market and makes them a huge amount of money.
With the possibility of losing huge amount, how it will be possible for short trading to be always better? You're literally contradicting yourself.

Day trading may be beneficial for the people who are able to ride on market fluctuations. It means you will not need to have huge amount of money but you must have skills to ride on the swings of market. I believe no trader might be having all the required skills to accurately predicting all the swings of a market. At the same time, if you do not have enough skills to ride on swing, your big capital may not help you while day trading. Yes, you may get stuck in negative market directions and might need to wait until market turns.

Mainly OP is part of the team or not, you must specify the site very well, obviously 0.1Doge does not attract much, at least one faucet is acceptable
By checking the post history of OP, all their 8 posts are for/on the same site, which makes us to think they joined bitcointalk just for promoting DiceCoinGames.com and they must be part of the business. But, OP edited their open-post yesterday and left only faucet thing; which may be after we are questioning about their reputations with respect to "total gain" and "bankroll" numbers.

they should give a welcome bonus to attract players, but since the volume is low, they must look for ways to demonstrate their legitimacy.
I personally am too waiting for the same. But, OP repeatedly said that he is not part of the team hence we cannot expect any big promotions to be announced here until the real team arrives here.
3419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think sport betting and gambling casinos are the first business to get up on: May 01, 2020, 09:05:25 AM
This Pandemic will last for 6 to 8 months more and it will definitely take a toll on the gambling casino business.
Do you think it's one of the businesses that will get up or recover their losses immediately after this pandemic is over
or it will take some time because people will have to take care of business first or go back to work first.
All the businesses which are based on gathering of people may not get back to its usual business track even after pandemic will be over which includes tourism. Because governments are going to emphasize about importance of keeping social distance for next to 2 to 3 years or until vaccine for covid19 will be invented.

I believe the spread of corona will be under-control in coming months in almost all the countries but people should follow social distance so that they can ensure about not getting suffered. So, theaters/malls/amusement parks/casino may not be allowed to operate.

Even online sportsbetting will continue facing dark days as no actual sports are happening any where. But, they may continue their business by adopting e-sports. As per we are already aware, other casino business must beat their own peak revenues and all other statistics until vaccine for covid19 to be invented. This pandemic is going to teach us many new things and many new ideas and how we are going to learn lessons from them and how to ease our life from that is going to decide our level of life style there after (at least with respect to gambling).
3420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which of the two will you choose as a gambler? on: May 01, 2020, 08:31:45 AM
The evaluation of authentication has traveled a long way before what we have right now:

By late 90's it was:
username (unique identifier)
password
email ID
||
By early 2000's we had:
email as unique identifier
and password with certain charterers and in length was recommended
||
Then
email/mobile as unique identifier
password (with strength notifier: strong/week/neutral)
2FA as optional
||
Then
mobile
OTP (no need of password to be set while registration)
||
Unique identifier (system generated)
Password
email

I guess the next level should be bio-metric based authentications like already mobile devices are authenticating us.

Every system has own advantages and pitfalls. Basic measurements we must follow for tension-free life:
1. Not using same email/password everywhere to protect identity and to prevent hacks.
2. Knowing well-in advance about account/password recovery processes.
3. Not keeping big balances with your online accounts so that you never need to bother about losing accounts if happens.
4. Keeping log of accounts along with IDs and password and keep this log secured. There are lots of PWD maintaining tools are available in desktop and mobile versions (tools which are working offline are recommended).

What type of authenticating method we prefer is having least weightage but how securely using them by following all the protecting measurements is the actual key here.
