3501  Economy / Gambling / Re: Twitch is going to ban most crypto gambling streamers. Where will Drake go now? on: September 29, 2022, 05:38:31 PM
Youtube seems the most likely alternative, especially if they are able to profit an extra income from adsense. Actually, this kind of content is really popular there already, there are lots of gambling channels of all sizes. I don't see any other unpopular platforms growing soon because streamers were banned from Twitch for posting gambling content. Anyway, streamers making content about sports betting aren't in trouble at Twitch platform, as it will continue being allowed there, just like sports fantasy and poker as well. The only banned content are the traditional gambling games.

I wouldn't stop gambling because the government doesn't allow it. More important than following the laws of your country is to have the perception and conscience of how moral they are. If a law is immoral I think it shouldn't be followed. As example I could mention tyranical countries which doesn't respect individuals' rights (by the law). In this case citizens should ignore the law and act accordingly to their own conscience which is more important than any human invention. Regards gambling, a citizen from a strict country on this matter can simply play using cryptocurrency at online casinos. Being discreet, your government can't do anything against you.
3503  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: September 28, 2022, 08:31:24 PM
The entry for the lottery to win the lambo is only 1 ticket. There are plans to start a pool here on this forum to combine all the golden tickets but the requirement to join the pool is 10 tickets.

As I understand it is in case the proposal of equal share is accepted by all. Otherwise I see no reason why not to accept users with lower numbers of tickets (if the prize is shared proportionally).
And yes, the question if subject like that could be discussed in that topic is a separate thing. Another topic needed?

Yeah sounds amazing. Or it could be better off the stakes in which stakes could be defined in terms of %pool. The more stakes you have it the more amount of money you get. For example, there is similar project going on for a website and it’s advertising income. In this users will be adding money for its development, marketing, publications etc and ad networks will be connected. The one with X stakes will have xy% etc etc. At the end of month Whatever they earned from ad networks will go into their pockets based on stakes.
If someone is willing to establish this system then I am sure it can work out pretty well for all the users.

And yes, I also agree why have minimum entry tickets if they can go stake base or % whatever is the easier one.
This is a fair and interesting idea. But I think the only way to implement this would be if the platform allowed users to join a pool organized and controlled by freebitco.in itself, so there won't be risks for members of being scammed by one or another participant. If it were possible I'm sure many users would join (hundreds or thousands), because 200,000$ is a huge prize and can be splitted among many different people while still being a very decent prize.
3504  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I earn from cryptocurrency as a starter? on: September 28, 2022, 06:13:58 PM
There are indeed multiple ways to earn crypto as a new user,

Faucets, ad networks etc. you can start by earning a few cents by visiting websites.

I made a list for this, check it out:
https://bitpr0.com/faucetlist
To help people conclude if it's worth to claim faucets through your list you could share how much you can make per day or per hour claiming rewards on those sites. My recent experience with faucets has been very negative. It doesn't worth the time you have to spend watching ads and going through several pop-ups or short links to claim a small amount of coins in the end. I believe if you work a whole day on this you won't be able to profit a single dollar, or am I being too exaggerated?
3505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Casino Licenses on: September 28, 2022, 04:32:19 PM
Anyone can start an online casino without a license. You just need to setup your website and have a decent bankroll size to pay gamblers. The disadvantage is that it might be really hard to build your reputation and attract gamblers if you don't have a license, because it can sound as a red alert for many of them, as any scammer can create a fake casino without guarantees just to steal from depositors.

With so many consolidated and popular online registered casinos around I think it will be a big challenge for you to compete against them with a brand new unlicensed casino... Why not think about starting another kind of business in a less explored niche of the market?
3506  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin thoughts on: September 28, 2022, 02:52:44 PM
Actually, the market was much weaker after the ATH of 2017, which followed like this until the bull run of 2021. Since you are in this market since 2017 you should know about it. The currently scenario isn't good, but it isn't the worst of all times anyway. Bitcoin is definitely not going to zero compared to USD. The support level is strong at 19,000$ and even though it breaks, we are going to see support levels on every price ranges below 19,000$ until it reaches to an alarming level that could make us believe the price would be heading to zero. It means bitcoin has a lot of time and can hold on until we leave the bearish season.
3507  Economy / Economics / Re: Business failure among small-scale entrepreneurs on: September 27, 2022, 11:46:11 PM
Businesses in poor countries tend to face greater challenges and obstacles than those in developed countries. This includes factors such as a lack of access to capital, limited infrastructure, corruption, and a lack of skilled workers. As a result, businesses in poor countries often have a lower success rate than those in developed countries.
I see as a major difficult in developing countries the fact people don't have much money to spare, so you as a business owner have a very limited customers' base to acquire your services and products. People are too worried about survival that they will only have access to basic goods and in a limited scale. Furthermore, even though there aren't customers for everyone, the concurrency is the same or even more expressive than in developed countries. There are too many sellers for too few buyers. This situation has a very negative impact on individual businessmen and many consequently have to close the doors at some point.
3508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is your diversification strategy? on: September 27, 2022, 11:24:46 PM
I invest only in crypto and mostly in btc. i'm not cashing out profit to invest in another assets and sectors, because bitcoin looks the most promising investment these days. Moreover, I don't feel like I have enough income to migrate to something else with enough funds to have a decent income from that. The only thing I do is to cashout bitcoin sometimes to invest in something I can work with, but that is not passive investment, it's an investment I need to work, produce and sell the final product for profit, what becomes really hard because there aren't many customers around, but I keep trying...
3509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you think blockchain gaming technology will have evolved by 2030? on: September 27, 2022, 10:50:34 PM
It may take at least as many years for blockchain games to be fully adopted as bitcoin before these tokens have high value and go beyond trivial speculation. The main problem with such games is that investors are more likely to pull liquidity from some game than they are providers. As a result, the price of a token collapses as sales prevail over purchases. In the next 5-8 years, this industry may evolve a lot and there will be some foundations and benchmarks, but for now, all these blockchain games are not much different from each other, as they all depreciate equally fast over time and quickly lose interest among players.
The tokens will probably not be used like that. Many people imagine games where tens of thousands of people, even millions of people play, and then there is a in game currency that is a token, and it will be amazing thanks to that, but as long as it has financial value the games will not be played for being games, it will be played for money and that will always ruin the economy of it as well. Do not imagine some world of warcraft scenario where you will make a lot of money from just gamers, it is not going to happen.

If you offer even 3 dollars a day for playing, that 90 dollars is a great amount for many people around the world, which is why it is such a hard concept.

Then projects and ecosystems should create a system that will encourage players not to withdraw all liquidity from games, or developers should write smart contracts that will block part of the earnings within the game economy, thereby protecting the token price from a rapid collapse. Also, minting and token burning systems should be designed more carefully. Often game projects face the problem that burning is quite slow and game tokens become inflationary.
There must be effective securirty measures against bots and multi accounts as well. The environment must be friendly to casual players and not only the usual addicted ones who destroy the sustainability of the game for being greedy and too egoistical to understand everyone needs to profit from the game, so it can survive for longer. People won't play a game they don't feel it's rewarding and entertaining.

unfortunatelly developers don't care about these points, because they already profit through another ways, like selling packages with extra benefits for buyers. And that seems enough for them.
3510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which altcoins will not survive the bear market? on: September 27, 2022, 03:18:24 PM
Most tokens outside of CoinMarketCap's top 200 are essentially dead. I see a lot of coins that have barely any trading activity and their developers have seemingly abandoned the project or they rarely communicate with their community. If a token is at this stage it is better to exit before they are officially declared dead and are delisted everywhere.
Yes, from thousands of existing cryptocurrencies we can expect most of them are dead. And even the ones among the top 200 are likely to lose position within time and as new altcoins are developed and launched on the market. That is why it's important to focus more on coins instead of tokens, because coins have their own chains, therefore they are somehow more original than tokens which are simply copying something that already exists and replacing it with a new name, but to work on an already consolidated chain they didn't create or control.
3511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to investigate and research new projects ? on: September 26, 2022, 11:42:59 PM
while going through their website i cant see a lot of information on the usecase for this project, they only say:
$AZM-utility-token supporting Azimuth Finance ecosystem and also simplifying and improving platform operation. Token $AZM is used in Azimuth Finance stimulation model as a reward for online activity.  Huh

guidance appreciated...
Most projects will only display basic information which means nothing at all, just like you have read there. It happens because majority of altcoin projects are created with the sole purpose of profiting through speculative pump and dump schemes. If successful on its goal, developers and early buyers make some decent profit, while the last adopters lose money, similar to what happens in the official ponzi schemes. When informations are scarce or unclear you should skip the project and look for something more solid which has a real usage and application.
3512  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy on: September 26, 2022, 11:26:14 PM

Putin was way out of his mind by deciding to invade Ukraine without taking into consideration the consequences of doing so. Not only did he destroyed Russia's credibility and economy, but he also disrupted the current world order. COVID-19 already had a negative effect over supply chains and the global economy, but the invasion made matters worse. Putin won't back down anytime soon especially when his political future is at stake. Giving up on the war now, would mean Putin's regime has weakened.

I'm afraid the world economy will continue to decline until there's no point for recovery. That is unless Europe and the US become self-sufficient from gas and energy reserves. EU should turn its attention to alternative energy sources, while the US should ramp up oil production instead of importing it from other countries. If they do that, most of the world's problems would be solved. Let's hope we see the light at the end of the tunnel by 2023. Just my opinion Smiley
Everyone hopes that the economy will recover quickly. And also hope Russia and Ukraine make peace. but it seems it will be very difficult to achieve in the near future. I even recently read the news about a statement from Putin that was broadcast on television. the bottom line is that the war will not end any time soon. it even seems that in Russia there will be conscription. I don't know exactly when. but it looks like the google search keyword 'How to Leave Russia' has improved a lot. and airline tickets for flights out of Russia became sold out. which indicates that many Russian citizens want to leave Russia. whether it was to avoid a military call or for some other reason. I do not know. but the search keyword on google 'How to Leave Russia' is trending, so I think there's a reason.
For more details you can read on the following news site. :
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/flights-out-russia-sell-out-after-putin-orders-partial-call-up-2022-09-21/

We must be prepared with all possibilities that will happen in 2023. because the impact of war on the global economy will clearly be felt. Let's pray the best for all of us.
We pray that the situation doesn't get worse with Putin using nuclear power just because he has become upset since his forces were kicked out from the north of Ukraine. Russian citizens are afraid to be used as cannon fodder by Putin's regime, so they are leaving the country and the big centers. Nobody wants to fight and die in a worthless war which has as goal to stroke a psychopath's ego.

But in case nuclear weapons start being used, I'm afraid there won't be even an economy to care about.
3513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Online casino/gambling projects on: September 26, 2022, 10:39:47 PM
Also what are the things that kills such project because even one or two survived for long I don't see many alive till now, they fail easily or turn scam later.
Lack of updates and innovation from times to times make customers lose interest for the websites and migrate to the new ones. However, there are many sites alive for many years already, as we can see on previous posts on this same thread. To remain active and popular an online casino has to offer similar or superior features their competitors are offering.

In early days a simple dice game was enough to make an attractive crypto gambling website, but no more. Now platforms have to offer a complete selection of classical gambling games, plus a great variety of live games and sports betting as well. And probably in some years it won't be enough anymore, so casinos must be constantly developing and upgrading their services.
3514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: regulating cryptocurrency on: September 26, 2022, 09:48:51 PM
Why are many governments not regulating cryptocurrency?

What makes you think that many governments don't regulate cryptocurrencies? Read the report https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/llglrd/2021687419/2021687419.pdf. It says that more than 100 countries are already regulating cryptocurrencies, developing legislative and tax frameworks. Cryptocurrency regulation has come a long way in the last 3-4 years because this cryptosphere is growing a lot, the adoption is growing, crypto capitalization is growing. The proliferation of regulation is legitimate, amidst all this development. In 7-10 years, regulation will reach even greater heights.
Yes, what happens is that it's a slow process, because there are many discussions before the projects are elaborated and passed by the legislative houses. Furthermore, those bureaucrats have a lot of more important matters to discuss in their respective countries, so crypto usually stays in second plan, also due to the fact just a small percentage of the population has adopted it.

If most people in the world were using crypto I guess those projects would have much more attention from politicians and would be immediately implemented on every countries.
3515  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the future of Bitcoin uncertain? on: September 26, 2022, 09:39:04 PM
The future of the world is pretty uncertain, what includes bitcoin, since it will be impacted by the events happening at global level. Currently, we face war threats, economical crisis, natural changes and disasters, alarming population growth, hate and hostility increasing among people fueled by political powers and agendas... All these points make the future unclear and uncertain. Nobody can foresee what is going to happen, especially when talking about bitcoin. I believe we should expect the best, but prepared for the worst, so we can survive the harsh times with endurance until a new dawn rises again.
3516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin anti-inflation? on: September 26, 2022, 08:06:40 PM
That is a question only time can tell. Theoretically it's possible bitcoin can be an anti-inflationary currency because we have a limited and fixed supply and the trust its blockchain system is incorruptible. But to make it work properly adopters have to trust bitcoin and go for it increasing demand. Few people aren't enough to make bitcoin anti-inflationary, there must be a high number of individuals involved on this process, acquiring more coins and using it as currency and investment, instead of solely trading. Within time we must see bitcoin getting stronger against inflation, while fiat goes on the opposite route.
3517  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is a reliable store of value - what’s a reliable store of value for you? on: September 26, 2022, 05:11:35 PM
Indeed what you say looks better because if all the governments of the countries in the world want to legalize Bitcoin for everything, then the growth of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will obviously be better, but it will make it a little difficult for the country's currency to be killed slowly by Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin does not make it difficult for any country's currency or gradually replace it, if you think that will happen the government will never accept or legalize bitcoin. Once the government legalizes bitcoin, it will inevitably come with draconian regulations to best control bitcoin. If once they find out that the legalization of bitcoin harms fiat or rather directly affects their power, they will ban it immediately.
For bitcoin to grow and be widely accepted, the best way is to get legal consent from the government and let's hope that bitcoin will be another method, alternative, besides fiat.
Yes, the less intervention from governments over bitcoin the better it will be for adopters. We don't need governments' permission to deal with btc. It's a person to person decentralized currency which can be also used as store of value if the individuals wish. Even if governments try to forbid this practice, people will still be able to use bitcoin, because governments don't have any power over blockchain and internet, as they are also decentralized. Of course they can punish citizens who doesn't follow their regulations, but it's still possible anyway.
3518  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is anyone buying right now because they think we are at or close to the bottom? on: September 26, 2022, 04:20:15 PM
Is there anyone buying right now because they think we probably will not go much lower and don't want to miss out at these low prices?
At the currently stage, Maybe people are tired of seeing the constant decline in btc's price to keep purchasing on every dip thinking it's going to be the last one. Who invested a lot in bitcoin when the prince retracted to 40,000$, 30,000$ and 20,000$ won't have funds to continue investing every time bitcoin loses another support position, with the exception of whales who can manipulate the market, especially if bitcoin becomes too cheap.

I believe investors who aren't trading and think on long term are simply waiting at this point to see what is going to happen next in crypto world.
3519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anderson Silva vs Jake paul who you bet on? on: September 26, 2022, 03:54:25 PM
I think the odds are decent to give it a try for Jake Paul. Anderson Silva is a good fighter, but he already had his peak years ago and haven't been the same anymore since he was caught cheating through drugs usage to boost his performance. Age must be also a factor that can be strategically exploited by Jake Paul on the arena.
Sometimes it's not solely about who is the toughest and strongest, but the smartest one who is able to use the disadvantages of the opponent against him.
3520  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is There Any Reality Behind Hash Tag Altcoinseason or it's Just a Myth? on: September 26, 2022, 03:44:15 PM
                              Is it right to say that altseason depends on bitcoin ?
Yes. Bitcoin always rises first, launching a new bullish season, so altcoins follow its trend and have their prices pumped as well. But inevitably without bitcoin there aren't altcoins and without a strong and valuable bitcoin there aren't promising altcoins. Bitcoin is called the king of crypto universe for a reason and it shouldn't be neglected. If you are willing to invest in cryptocurrencies never underestimate the potential of bitcoin in exchange of some cheap altcoins. In conclusion there isn't something like 'altseason'. The market becomes optimistic as a whole and mainly due to bitcoin. I think it should be just called 'bull season'.
