Things will get clear 2 years after start. In November this year we will see how many people on earth is vaccined and how many countries will suffer in 4th and 5th wave. World economy will not start recovering before 2022.
Many countries are facing the new wave and the virus has genetically mutated and become stronger, the strain they found in the United Kingdom spreads much faster and now there are restrictions in place and countries are shutting down again, Canada implemented strict lockdown and so is the situation in Australia.

It is true that the pharmaceutical companies were racing against each other and many have come out with the product but i will pass being their experiment rat. Until there is a 100% certainty that these vaccines does not have any side effects i will stay away from them.

I am not afraid for Canada or UK. They will both vaccine over 70% of their population before Autumn. India, Africa, South America, other Asian countries will not. Simply because they will not get enough vaccines. Actually in autumn there might be enough vaccines, but you cant then vaccine billions in a month. There will be huge mess.

Everything will takes time and cant really be done in a flash or a short span of time neither the delay due because of the access of those vaccines or simply that there would be
some sort prioritization depending on which country is really near into those who had been able to create one.Taking one of those shots in early phases wont really be that ideal.
Myself wont really be considering on accepting or taking it even though majority been saying that it wont really do no harm but to look into those previous reports or news
about deahts due to that vaccine then you cant really blame out yourself on not to be afraid.
3622  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No 2FA and robbed of 0.097BTC on: January 23, 2021, 11:56:21 PM
Scammers are becoming more clever by the day. So it's either you rest easy and take the chance or secure yourself nd be future-proof. As of now no one can beat 2FA unless they stole your phone too so I would really suggest setting up 2FA.that couple of minutes of inconvenience would save you thousands of dollars in the long run.
That is why we always suggest people install and enable the 2FA on their account, especially if that account has the money inside.
The scammers will find out which account that already enables the 2FA, and which account does not activate 2FA because they have many ways to search for that info.
We can only activate every security that the site suggests to us to feel safe from the hacker, although we can not get 100% safety from them.
At least, we can minimize the chance to get hacked by them.

Some sites only suggested you to enable 2FA in your account, while some even required you to do so, I like a site that requires its gamblers to ensure that accounts are safer since it has a high security. In this scenario, OP knows the risk because he is a techy guy but he choose not put secured his account with 2FA, but with what happen, I'm sure he will enable it if he still continues using the site.
Once you get or experience those events on losing money and it do connects with security then i highly doubt that he wont come back on using the site after the incident.
Even if you are techy then it doesnt mean that this will really be making you exclude into those hacking possibilities.In talks about mandatory 2fa then its really a bit off to me
just like on other platform or exchangers that do ask out this security measure before you can proceed on using them up.Its just me but this one is really annoying,
making it as an optional is a better one but people should always consider on the safe side rather than taking step when its already too late.
3623  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fast food restaurants accepting crypto as payment method? on: January 23, 2021, 11:34:33 PM
~
Not sure which part of the world you are living, there are several restaurants accepting bitcoin and several other currencies as payment across Europe and US. There is no reason for a state to interfere unless and until you are dealing with illegal trade or money laundering.
I used bitcoin transactions in restaurants in the past while i was travelling and it is not big deal anymore as everyone knows about the cryptocurrency market.
not only restaurants but several large companies and other shops that accept bitcoin payments, please check here https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin/who-accepts/
some last a long time, some only in a certain period. we have to realize that this is not yet fully adopted, kind of a test run if I think. but this is already pretty good progress. By making bitcoin an alternative payment, this means that the company owners see the potential of their consumers.
The name crypto has been globally known to big companies, a reason that they are considering accepting this as they know it was an alternative way of payment aside from having fiat. Cashless payment has been an exercise for some companies for several years and this new digital currency is just like the same system but the problem is on its volatility.
One of the reasons on why we wont be seeing full adoption scale towards these fast food restaurant or any business that do really hesitate when it comes to volatility. Excluding to those business owners who can really
accept or do took the risk without any doubts or simply saying that they do accept if their profits or money converted to bitcoin would really go lower due to market price movement and the rest is just really like to
play safe and thats why they dont really bother on integrating crypto payments because of this. Yes, we do had already that digital or cashless payments with fiat system and majority will be seeing
that we wont really be needing more alternative on this one.For those who do reside on countries that does have fast food restaurants that do accept crypto then good for them.

Ive read an article recently where a guy found his old paper with login an account with bitcoins, sold them in a rush for $3-4 millions and deleted all his social media accounts. I wonder if this jackpot winnner gonna something of that kind. Like hiding from relatives.
Situation that cant really be avoided and this guy is a little bit wise on taking such action because those social media accounts or even his own personal email or would really get or been flooded thru text
will really happen. He's just fast enough to avoid those things though but it would be useless for those who do know his residence.  Grin Unless if he do buy some new house or location then that would
really be a good thing. For 1B jackpot winner then expect for such begging, not only into your relatives but also into other people that know you as well.This is not a small amount that had won and just
like what others been complaining about the tax then it is really just too big.I cant afford to lose up a half of winnings and imagine that 500M would be cut then you would really be fighting for it
but if you are too impatient or cant really wait then you would really take the deal.

Here we go again with these kind of topics on talking about Who's satoshi nakamoto? ; Satoshi had been found ; Satoshi had been spotted; etc. Link is dead but other user above pointed out on what you are trying to say which i do see to be that thing that had been discussed above.Its an old one and this story will continue to pile up into those situations where people do claim, tell, speculate on where satoshi is.
Why we cant just leave him alone? If he would go out and show his face into the public then he would do that but for now lets just let things supposed to be.Dont force up
if he wont decide to reveal himself. Lots of speculations, lost of identity  claims like that shit CW until to this very year.
3626  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much did you make in Bitcoin trading? on: January 23, 2021, 10:25:38 PM
On spot trading I can make at least 200-400 $ every month depending on market conditions. Sometimes I also hold for 2 months to get the price I want. almost 1 year I have earned approximately 3,000 $.In my opinion there is no risk even though the decline occurs because we can hold and there is no Liquidity on Spot trading.

Since this year when there was a Futures on Binance I actually suffered a lot of losses, for many people who can indeed see this an opportunity to get quick money but some can also lose. I was hit by rect later this year because of Short bitcoin.
One of the reasons on why i didnt really tend to get engage with futures/leverage type of trading.You would really get that big profits but in exchange or equal it do doubles the risk.

Back to topic on how much i do make in trading bitcoin then it is all random but on average i do make $100 per week but there are weeks which are lesser.
It depends on the market condition or trend because not all the times we would really be having a good day or making profits.
What matter most is to retain up profits even you do suffer losing trades.

I created a new topic for my issue. I'm waiting over 1 month with no answers at all regarding to my account.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5311584.new#new

I hope it gets solved so I can provide you with a positive feedback
Why did you mention 1 month here when you stated that you have been facing this issue since June 2020? Can you explain?

Also, there is no point in trying to contact their support on their site or here in my opinion since 1xbit usually steals from gamblers whose balance is high(Like yours) and they ignore low balance gamblers. They don't care about their trust rating here either.

I'm waiting for 1 month on this forum support, and almost 7 months for email support yes. When I said 1 month I was referring to this 1xbit_official user support.

Try it all

support-en@1x-bit.com

Security department:
security@1x-bit.com

Public relations
and advertising:
marketing@1x-bit.com

Partnership queries (online):
b2b@1x-bit.com

But dont expect too much for them to reply.If we do see their current reputation then it wont really be surprising.

How has 2021 started for you? Any great wins?
Just pure loss lol, haven't made a winning on any games (except for NBA betting) since this year started, and that's  the reason why I haven't  played any for a week now lol, a bad start for me I guess as maybe this is already a hint for me to stop playing roll games 🎲 😬
It is still too early in the year so you are going to have chances to recover the money you have lost however I will say that this January has not been that nice to me either, I have lost some money in sports bets and while it was a very small amount of money it still stings no matter what you do, especially since I made some bets on my favourite team and I lost them all so not only I had to deal with the sports bets that I lost but also with the fact my favourite team lost.
Well, thats gambling, you wouldnt know on what would happen neither you do play sports betting or casino games.On my gambling experience too for this 1st month of 2021
turns out to be bad too since im on the negative side but im not really minding much because as usual i do play for entertainment.Yes, its stressful on minding up
that much that you've been losing for this year initially but if you wouldnt mind and doesnt care if you do lost then this wont really be an issue.
We do still have 11 months to go and we might be lucky into those months left but overall dont take it seriously when dealing up with gambling.
3629  Economy / Economics / Re: Second lockdown due to covid19 is painful on: January 21, 2021, 11:54:30 PM
If everyone sincerely follows the quarantine rules , wear a damn mask , stay at home and isolate themselves if they don’t feel good instead of going on stupid rallies and ignoring the pandemic then I think we can do it in a year.
There are many people who dont cooperate thats why the virus cant be controlled from spreading. If only people unite to stay at home if there's nothing important to do outside then somehow the number of cases were going to reduced. Im afraid we're going to have another lockdown because of the sars-cov from uk (another variant of covid), they say this is much worse than covid-19. Oh well I think we cant return to what we used to to atleast for the coming days and months.
Easy to say  for them to be inside of their homes but for the ones who do heavily rely into their work then its really hard to stop out people on not to do things.
For the sake of survival then they would really go to work and on the discipline side or cooperation then this will talk about the protocol.
People should follow on whats mandated or instructed to prevent the spread of virus specially now that new strain had been discovered which is
more contagious and highly spreadable.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogerhuang/2020/03/16/bitcoin-is-not-like-gold/?sh=31d174f22191 They have their own differences which is obvious.

3631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Paquiao VS Connor McGreggor? on: January 21, 2021, 09:30:32 PM
I’m not sure I like McGregor fighting these professional boxers. He should leave that to the youtubers or be the pro that fights the youtuber. I feel like he’s devaluing himself by being the losing spectacle in these matches.

It seems like Connor McGreggor has been preparing for this fight this year. However, it would be hard for him to win this fight because we all know that Manny is well dedicated and he will make sure that his last fights before his retirement would be remarkable. If it's all about money, it's a mismatch for sure and it would be quite unfair for Manny because he deserves a good match.

We'll see how this Saturday goes.  From the social media nonsense going on, you'd think he's also lining himself up for a fight with Logan Paul.  I think McGregor is just keeping his options open.  If he wins this Saturday he'll be able to coast around with some of these play fights and make a ton of money before having to prove himself in a real fight again.  If he doesn't win...  Who knows what will happen.
This is already becoming the trend on where these fighters do plan out on whose the one will be next in line neither if its a cross-sports event or a main one
it doesnt matter but mostly they will prefer on exhibition fight on where they do know that they wont really be affecting their statistics in case if they lose
plus this wont really be a hard-fought one since they do know that they do have the edge inside the ring and the most important of all is on how to
make big money with just a matter of few rounds with less fighting performance.
3632  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple is dying on: January 21, 2021, 08:10:29 PM
A lot of people are predicting that ripple is dead, while some are of the opinion that it might recover after all. Recently, there have been some talks over whether Ripple should go head to head with SEC in court or settle.

What is your opinion on this matter?

You would really be expecting lots of mixed words towards XRP specially that its price had plummet down compared it was before or into that pre-SEC issue.
Is it really dying? No it isnt but rather we do see its price moving sideways where it means that buyers and sellers are still undecided on what action will really be
done next.Dont get easily dragged up with FUD and when you do tend to make out investment with XRP or shall we say buying the dip then its up to you,
its a risk to take because its impossible not to think that this might be XRP's demise but try to look the price then its still holding well.
3633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Buy all Lotto Combinations - Win Big on: January 21, 2021, 07:13:49 PM
You should at least put up some source link about this topic and I do made out some search and I found which things you've bee talking into.

https://thehustle.co/the-man-who-won-the-lottery-14-times . Man who had able to win lottery for how many times, they do all buy all the possible

lottery combinations and making lottery wins into business.If we do read up the article it would really be explaining everything.
There is already a thread which the topic is this. Man won 12 times in lottery and who had been talking about Stefan mandel.You are right that OP should put up some source links for him to avoid some problems later on about this forums rules about copy pasting article contents without posting up the source because you would end up on having that copy-pasting.
So better be aware or else you would get banned.Back on topic on hitting those lotto combinations then its actually possible but the question is that this do really need big capital where it means that you do need lots of
people that would be funding you up on buying all possible combinations  on that lottery game.
3634  Economy / Speculation / Re: to sell or buy BTC? on: January 20, 2021, 11:56:27 PM
I think we should sell it because the current price is very high, so the price may go down. so don't expect a big profit Smiley
The prices are still going up and although there are some hiccups selling right now is not the best option. That is my take on the question though, it is pretty subjective as we have different lives and our condition of living is almost unique to our country's. For me, holding for the long term is the best course of action.
Holding for the future is what most been targetting but as mentioned that conditions in each everyones lives are different where there are situations where you do need to make profit to sustain
or support your living in a short time manner which means dealing with the market actively is a must for you to have chance neither you do gain or loss in a short span of time that means
your capability of doing trades will really be tested out. Selling or buying then it all goes to a certain investor, if you do go for long term holds then go ahead but if you do go
with active trades then go ahead, it doesnt matter which one as long it would really make you contented and comfortable on what you are doing.
3635  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos Withdrawal Fees Rise (!?)|| January 2021 on: January 20, 2021, 10:55:26 PM
This is just a random thought.

If most of the gambling sites does not benefit from all these large transaction fees then why they are not integrarating the Lightning Network on their site? Though I am aware that it needs a lot of work in terms of technicalities involved in changing the whole backend and frontend code but isn't it that if at least they manage to integrate LN, the gambling platform could somehow gain traction for new players/clients?

Another pros is that we can also experience and practice making transaction over the Lightning Network which I think is a good experience.

Am I missing something why only few of them is using it?,
Very on point thought.

I think LN is still not that common and the casinos may adopt it but many of their users won't consider it. That's just also my thought about it. It's possible that we'll see adoption of LN through casinos could be a few more years.

If they see a demand for it, they'll absolutely add it.

Some casinos starting to accept USDT already, I think that's their solution to avoid volatility which is the main problem for bettors whose intention is for sole gambling only. I also like the LN but as of this time I have never seen a popular site started adopting it already.
There are already some old and popular gambling sites that had integrated lightning network like Crypto.games  https://blog.crypto.games/2020/11/bitcoin-lightning-network.html

We do have viable options to take on if we are really trying to get rid of paying up higher fees due to network congestion.

3637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: January 20, 2021, 08:36:33 PM
Is someone who follows the gambling signature also a gambler? I would like to ask the users here who are participating in the gambling campaign. when their payment is via a tip on the website, whether they will also withdraw the money or not ?. This is an interesting question because some people I see who participate in the gambling campaign are not all gamblers
Yes, there's probably a lot of users that have gambled their signature payments at some point. Whenever I get my payments on my account I always withdraw them right away straight to my wallet. I still gamble regularly but not on casino games though.
It's also much better to collect all the payouts from the signature campaign and every time I want to gamble regularly it can make finances better than spending all of it on casino bets, but everyone is different but what I do of course in financial management has to be. can be managed even better, because I feel when I am addicted to gambling, the spending cannot be controlled.
So invested or used as trading capital may be much better.

Nothing is much better when we do try to compare investment than with gambling and its never been worth on considering that both things are the same.
Of course it is much worth if we do make use of those earnings to make it even grow rather than spending into your own entertainment or leisure but well
people are not really the same because just like on what others said that campaign earnings arent really that too big to consider.You can spend it
on a short time as possible but to have a question in mind that would you risk up something that you had been working for a week?
Yes,it might not be that hard to post but the effort and time you had spent is priceless.
3638  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fast ways to lose money trading on: January 20, 2021, 07:40:40 PM
One of the fastest ways I know of (and even some stupid person did it by blowing away investors' BTC) is leverage trading. It can go wrong anytime but you must know at what leverage you should enter and exit. I know of some people who love to take risks at 100 and even 125x leverage but the worst of it all, they do it with their capital all-in and then get liquidated.
Agree on this point which is actually true and precise.This is the the fastest way on dealing with leverage.This is already considered in side of gambling though
but there are people who do still love on engaging with leverage even though its risky but very rewarding if you predicted that right.
In the question on the fastest way on losing money then this would particular or obviously on that leverage trade side.

glad that her persistent finally paid off after 20 years. things like this have happened in my country too I just hope her or her relative doesn't blow this one extremely rare luck.

Do any of you play the same trick as their (playing the same number always)??
I do. playing the same number isn't that uncommon in lottery. a lot of people I know who bet on lottery have some kind of lucky number combination(the most common are birthdates) that they pick every time they bet on a lottery. and I have also heard stories TV news about lottery winners using the same number for years before they won.
this happens on all the country because lottery is legal and supported by a government and there were people that wont give up no matter what .
no matter how poor they are they find a way to work and earn money to continue buying lotto tickets and they use same old number because there is that pyschology that the number will came out if it havent came out and why choose random numbers when we can pick important numbers that were part of our lives  .
Picking  numbers  basing  of into those  important date of  your lifes is really just a belief and doesnt really give out precise reasons on why it should be chosen since this lottery all matters with luck.I agree that this is really on the psychological aspect on where people do believe that they will able to hit those numbers on choosing on what they do believe that they will come out or shall we say that those lucky numbers that they do believe.Its true that this isnt only limited in some countries but also in all parts of the world where these government or national lotteries do happen.Lots does have those kind of hopes.

This is indeed a lesson because you will really be a on a hard situation specially if you dont have savings or money to spent to sustain your living
and if you do fully rely with your work and doesnt have able to save up while you are still earning then you are really making some regrets now.
