It all depends on how great of a trader you are, if you can sense when the price goes up and down then you are in luck because you can do trades that would yield you profits larger than whole stock market in just one day sometimes, that is why the big traders keep improving themselves and work on how to calculate and how to guess what will happen and they want to get better even for seconds because those seconds equal to thousands of dollars when you are big enough of a trader and spend thousands of dollars for each trade.

However, if you are not a good trader that doesn't change anything for you since you won't be making money from ups and downs, your only hope is to buy bitcoin and hold and hope that it will go up, anything else would be way too risky for a newbie.

I'm a little uncomfortable with some hidden players in this contest however this is a public contest for the players there, Windice should only allow people who show their account names to show fairness. I also don't know how they hide their names while in the privacy setting we can only hide total wagered and profit Huh
The weird part about the "hidden" stuff is that, you are basically already "hidden" as hidden gets, you just have a nickname people can check. If you want to be really hidden pick a unique one where you don't use anywhere else and you will get to be hidden, if you don't want to be hidden pick one that is literally your name or any username you use everywhere.

So, yeah I think hidden option is still valid and could be used and I support it but I can also understand why people find it interesting, you are not giving your KYC to people, it is a nick that you take that is shared so it is not like you are giving away too much information about you. You can keep it hidden, it should your right to keep it hidden but just because there is that option you can't make people stop wondering who you are.
3543  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com | The Most Popular Bitcoin Casino | V2 & New games out now! 👽 on: October 05, 2019, 05:41:59 PM
I wonder what type of competition there will be, like will stake get outside sportsbook people to come in and play here or will they just use the already existing people who gamble here on different games to start gambling on sportsbook as well. We all know slots will be a huge hit with the website and the gamblers, it is offline and it is just like any other game on the website that people can play themselves and we love it, but sportsbook is something a lot bigger and major and there is actually competition there.

When it comes to casinos stake is clear leader everywhere but there are couple of really big sportsbooks out there that made a great name for themselves, I can't stop to think what will be the result of stake actually going out of their own market and into a new market.
3544  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you look for in a gaming platform? - Bojoko Article on: October 05, 2019, 04:34:40 PM
We can all talk here about how we like this and that and what not but in the end wouldn't we all agree that what makes a casino great is the owners?

I mean one thing that makes the casinos so good is the owners and that hasn't changed in centuries. If you have a casino either actually brick and mortar or online or crypto, it doesn't change the fact that casino owners who do not scam anyone, who is not even a bit of shady, just runs the casino legally and genuinely like how it should be run, then they will get bigger and bigger like how many many successful gambling houses are already doing in crypto space.

The people who go into casino world for some reason are usually scammers, which is why there is a ton of bad casinos, the few ones who are legit and run by decent business people always become the best ones out there since they are not screwing their customers.

I tryed to setup, but failed for some reason.
That must be the catch from their side. So, that script is not for literally free.

After visiting the link, I suspect this topic itself a plan to advertise some known crap business. Yes, I have seen hundreds of threads had opened here to sell some exchange scripts and lately I have seen some scam accusations too on a couple who are from the Indian city Madurai. (I maybe wrong but I am sure the site you have provided must be belonging to some scammers).

Do you accept any escrow? I would like to help you, but I want to be sure about funds.
That is right. No escrow-No business. And please share if you get any reply from OP as we like to know what is actually going on here.
3546  Economy / Economics / Re: K-POP Company owners are joining the train hype of Cryptocurrency on: October 04, 2019, 03:23:08 PM
Blockchain as a platform to connect stars and fans could be huge, I don't know how it could be done, I don't know what the platform will be like but looking stuff like twitch where people literally give money to streamers to be on their screens, I am pretty sure we could have a system where fans pay celebs to get their attention. Now, if you do that via crypto that is even better, there is a connection and you can see how has sent the most crypto and the richest fan out there.

I personally do twitch myself and know my biggest supporters by heart, so of course every fan would want to be like that for their favorite celeb. How they could do it is another question, if they can do it, it will be success but they need to be careful with the system or it would be another money spent on something that failed.
3547  Economy / Economics / Re: Ethereum managed to pass bitcoin in transaction fees last week on: October 04, 2019, 02:46:22 PM
Ethereum can't sustain with that tho. There was a time when cryptokitties blocked the transactions in ethereum blockchain as well and both price of ethereum and transactions became super slow as well, however cryptokitties are not getting the same attention they used to get as you can imagine, fairwin will be the same, it will get some attention but eventually will be forgot like cryptokitties. There is no point on mining ethereum if you are a bitcoin miner that makes money.

However, if you are a small time miner in bitcoin and have some asic equipments you can sell your equipment to other big whale miners and use that money to buy eth mining rigs which may or may not make you more money depending on the difficulty of btc and eth at that time. It worth a calculation at least.
3548  Economy / Speculation / Re: When bitcoin will hit $1 million ! on: October 04, 2019, 01:23:53 PM
You are asking for something impossible, people love to think about those kind of prices because they know that their bitcoin holdings are small and they would like to think they also have a chance to become millionaires in the future, but deep down they know the truth unless something huge happens to the economy that forces people to look for alternative ways to move their funds the chances that bitcoin reaches such a high price during the next years are zero.
Even though we like to think of that possibility, but it is not as if many people strongly believe that the coin will hit $1 million in future, that figure really looks silly to me, the highest that I have ever thought or analyzed bitcoin to reach is $100k, but that is not to say I will not support any speculation that sees bitcoin grow beyond that.

When it comes to bitcoin prediction, majority of us are a little bit biased in our judgment because of the full love that we have for bitcoin, but one thing with bitcoin is that even if it does  not reach the $100k, it does not mean that it is still not useful, bitcoin is not only meant to be used for investment alone, so, as long that it is still useful for the payment system it was created for, I really don’t care if the value hit that all time high or not.
3549  Economy / Speculation / Re: is the market building up towards another bog FOMO? on: October 04, 2019, 11:19:00 AM
i am always fascinated by the FOMOs that keep happening in bitcoin market. earlier this year i created two topics on two different occasions about it the small inital FOMO in first stage and another FOMO with a bigger leg up.

with the current situation where price has come down below the $10k support line and the fact that a lot of weak hands were flushed out, i am guessing pretty soon after the drama ended we are going to see another FOMO market shape up bringing in a lot of money like a tsunami. this time if the momentum could build up we could see $20k before the end of the year.

what do you think about the size of the upcoming FOMO? can we see a bubble in short term this time or will it be like last time (small just to kick start the rise)?
This is a great way of thinking during a bear run but it is not something we can prove in any way at all.

Surely when the weak hands are flushed we can say that bitcoin right now is held by people who actually believe in it (and traders) but that doesn't mean it will continue to go up, first we need to make sure the whales who are trying to make money doesn't sell.

Maybe "weak" hands are gone but the whales are not and they can still buy a million dollar worth short futures and then sell 10 million dollars worth of bitcoin all at once and make a ton of money thanks to leverage as well. Hence we are not certain right now, does the future look brighter for bitcoin? Sure, it does but that doesn't mean it will certainly be better, it just means it is "probably" better.
3550  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Developments Can Put Bitcoin Upwards Again? on: October 04, 2019, 09:02:47 AM
I think having a cheaper and faster option would make wonders once again, bitcoin went up in price back in December 2017 and transactions suddenly became like 6 hours long with 20 bucks or something which was horrible, if we ever want to go back up to those places we need a solution for these things in order to not have them once again.

Aside from that I think we just need to find a way to separate the futures and the real prices, long futures and short futures all affected the bitcoin world way too much, maybe longs are not that bad because it requires a lot of capital to do something good there, however short futures basically just gave the rich folks power to drop bitcoin price whenever they want and make a ton of money, that is not gonna help us in the long run.
3551  Economy / Gambling / Re: BattleHashes.Com | Multiplayer blockchain gambling | PvP | Referral program % on: October 03, 2019, 02:56:13 PM
Is there a possibility that this game turns a bit off-chain? Having to deal with "deposit/withdraw" which I know they are not like that, we put money up for bet and we get money in return (or lose) so its not exactly like deposit and withdraw but I don't know what we call them, is a bit hard.

I would love to have just a balance in the website where I keep gambling all the time and a lot more frequently then this in order to get more fun, its kind of a must for me as well because if I have to just transact money all the time to be able to play and have to go outside of the website to just send money and come back to website, it will feel too tiring eventually and I would stop. I am not against the game itself, the game looks fun and entertaining, but the features needs to improve.
3552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin and casinos on: October 02, 2019, 05:46:45 PM
I think there could be some sort of digital "card" that would allow people to play and shows how much they have left. Either the card itself could be digital enough to show how much balance it has and can be used or card could be regular card but the casino could have things that you can go plug the card in and check how much there is left. I think that is literally a better option than chips as well, why they are still using chips I would never know but just guess.

My guess is that they are just an iconic thing, like you hold a ton of chips in your hands and it makes you feel better, you put them forward and so forth, it is just what people think when they think about casinos, that is why they are not removing chips but in reality it is really possible to make it better with technology.
3553  Economy / Economics / Re: Paper Bitcoin eth, ltc and others on: October 02, 2019, 05:00:37 PM
This cannot be done because of the counterfeit. At our current time where only a few of us know the existence of Cryptocurrencies, only a few people will know how Paper bitcoin will work. Most of the people in the world don't even know what may those things are. they may tell you that you're paying with a receipt.
I think counterfeit is the last of bitcoin papers worries. We are talking about a paper that could not be replicated as something filled with crypto, you can print any paper you want make it look as legit as you want but a person could just type in that key and see its empty, this is not something you just take and say thank you and leave.

This is something you check each time and you could do a QR code paper or key phrase paper or whatever you want but in the end whoever you end up giving the paper would be able to check if there is any money in it by a simple search on blockchain. Considering there would be waiting times and useless checking process and acceptance, digital is much much better so even when not a counterfeit it takes way too long to accept paper crypto.
3554  Economy / Economics / Re: How negative interest rates affect Bitcoin on: October 02, 2019, 04:25:41 PM
Eventually they should realize that central banks cause more harm than good whenever they do something. They think that when they print money to keep the people going they are doing something good but they are just allowing people to spend the money they don't have and then that money is printed so the money exists.

If central banks didn't then eventually a lot of worlds economy would collapse everything will be horrible we would be in economical dark ages but eventually whoever survives that will lead us into a world where banks are no longer greedy or can be greedy even if they wanted to because they would collapse and bankrupt if they do.

Just let banks bankrupt and jail the CEO's for letting it happen and you will not have any more scammers there, the power resides in the central banks to make that happen, only if they do not help the banks out. There are customers whose money get bankrupted as well? Customers who can provide proof of ownership will be reimburse by the central bank, that way banks will still go bankrupt, new money still would be printed and all the regular people would be saved.
3555  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Guide How to Create a Bitcoin Trading Bot on: October 02, 2019, 08:34:08 AM
Strategy should be more important for profit making from trading rather than trading with a bot.

I mean you want simply profits or you want to save time for your entertainments still you need profits from trading. If you focus only profits then you may test your strategy manually and then start trading in real with small capital. This way there could be 99% chances to crack profits.

Bots cannot withstand against all market conditions. Even your strategy is good, it may get failed when there will be any drastic changes in market conditions due to any negative news like hacking in a major exchange or wallet provider. If you trade manually you may exit simply at your stop-loss. (Bots too may exit at stop loss but there could be chances to jump around exit levels.)
3556  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 8x profit in a bear market?! - Learn how this trader did it by buying a Put on: October 02, 2019, 07:58:43 AM
Please do not try to tempt innocent traders by showing just one profitable trade. I can show here 100s losing trades which had happened just due to the reason of leveraged trading. I am not against BTC trading but definitely against leveraged and shorting trading. Because, they will multiply the risks into ten fold whereas bitcoin is known for making easy money by simply buying and holding.

Here are my recommended way of trading for the traders who are all in a rush to grab profits:
  • Do not expect quick profits. If you still want, losses might be quicker than you could expect.
  • Never opt for leveraged trading. Trade only for your actual worth. This way, there will be no pressure of contract expiry.
  • Simply buy BTC and forget for some time. Definitely you may get at least 10x profits after the upcoming halving.
  • BTC is a proven asset for making easy profits if you buy and hold. So, never go shorting it. Still, you may make use of every dips to buy more.
3557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Invest in bitcoin casino bankroll on: October 01, 2019, 07:42:27 PM
I have heard that there are a few known and trusted bitcoin casinos which offers dividends (like 5-10% per year) if you invest your BTC in their bankroll. E.g. I can invest say 1 BTC and receive 1 BTC + 0.2 BTC of dividends in the end of year because they will use it in their casino bankroll.
Dividends from gambling houses are not a guaranteed one like a stock and its dividends. You must understand if the gamblers are winning more than the income of a gambling house from house edge, then you may not get any dividends and I am not sure houses will share their negative income too with their investors. All trusted crypto gambling houses are provably fair hence there will be less chances for them to make consistent profits against gamblers. Hence, you may not get expected returns for your investments. Invest only your affordable money on the event of losses if any.

Although gambling is a lucrative business in which casinos will not lose, I would not invest bitcoins in casinos.
I too strongly believe my bitcoin itself an investments hence I do not believe into making my investments working again as an investment. Probably high risk investors and desperate gamblers may go for such things as it might be better than gambling with the motto of making easy money.
3558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: October 01, 2019, 05:44:57 PM
I guess we are talking about a Chinese team, what were you expecting a contender of NBA barely beating them? If they didn't tried at all and they didn't brought in James harden as well and maybe if there was something going wrong the game could have been close but even the bench of rockets have the talent levels to destroy a Chinese team.

Hence, when you bring in rockets and harden and they actually try to play the game the difference was kinda expected. I wouldn't really be shocked by any result that is at least 30+ point difference and it happened. 140 points was a bit different but even the NBA offensive ratings are getting higher so when a team scores over 100 every night against other NBA teams, it is not a shocker that they scored 140 against a team that's a lot worse.

If a fantasy token loses 50% within 2 days then it does not have a substantiated value and that is the shady part! Roll Eyes

And where is the accounting of the EOSBet operation?

Curacao laws demand to show the accounting to investors!
It is interesting that when a coin goes down it is not the market or people selling but it is literally company being shady, that is a weird way of thinking.

Bitcoin went down from 10k to under 8k as well, that must mean bitcoin is shady, hell thinking longer term it went from 20k to 3k they must be scamming all of us!! Ethereum was once 1500 dollars look at it now!! Vitalin is definitely a scammer! Lol, it is the train of thought for someone who had never really understood what a market is.

If you buy a coin you take the risk of going down and rewards for going up, no coin only goes up and no coin only goes down. Coins usually go up and down. If you specifically look at all the ICO's and the likes you will see that there are tons of coins that went down on the first day and kept going down until it got better as well.

I havent been to the site in quite a long time. I think last time I logged into my account was back in july. When it was running it was nice but then people said the site was down and this thread was locked so I havent bothered to go back.
Hope everything is still up and operational and those who have pending withdrawals soon get them once blackjack.fun member becomes active on the forums once more. Last log in was on the five days ago so not as frequently as when I was playing on there. Undecided
Yeah same, I haven't tested the place for a long time, last they posted anything was back in august so it looks like they have been absent longer than a month around here, even though they were online few days ago that doesn't mean anything when you look at when was the last time they did anything about the website.

My guess is that their website didn't get too much attention so they just decided not to go along with it, when a casino doesn't make any money there is really no need to keep it alive, they didn't announced anything at all so we don't know if it is closed or not but the latest news we have from the website is that someone gambled here and couldn't withdrew their money which means right now they are in the blacklist for me, anyone who plays here and checks this topic would probably not test it neither until something changes.
