3681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $5000 to $1 million in 3 years and little over 2000 bets! on: May 30, 2021, 04:05:30 PM
I posted regarding this before back in 2018. Many said couldn't be done but i followed the methodology and the picks religiously and here we are. Spreadsheet shows all the picks in the log sheet and the dashboard shows the summary. Settings sheet has details on the money management. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15CSvrT3osJos4P-Fni102v5fvZqaqm8Q/edit#gid=644533306  Only obstacle that you will run into is you will make enemies with books and majority of the books will limit your and shut you down. If you cannot get accounts in pinnacle and betcris/bookmaker you wont be able to get far as million.
Gambling is just like a jackpot that could anytime hit your luck with a single bet or multiple bets combined also and I am not much surprised to hear this.But the interesting fact is you turned $5000 into $1 million proving them wrong who demotivated you in tough times.But you also need to share winning proof to prove legitimacy of your bets not because it is necessary to do but just to serve proof for your claims and motivate other players also.Rest if true then congratulations to you man on such life changing win.This is what gambling can do make you filthy rich or torn apart you financially and mentally if you get addicted to it after continued losses.Be safe in this market.
3682  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How does Bitcoin help stop the funding of wars? on: May 30, 2021, 03:52:59 PM
So one of the most popular narratives I see is that the utilization of Bitcoin would help put an end to the illegal funding of wars overseas. How do you figure this?

If one entity needs to get currency to another entity they will be able to do so. The way that I am seeing it, it doesn't matter where the money comes from as long as they are getting the money in the first place. In fact, wouldn't Bitcoin make this type of funding more difficult to detect?

Then again, maybe I am looking at this the wrong way.

Could someone help shed some light on this narrative?
Seriously speaking I am not familiar with the narrative you are talking about and don't think there is any such narrative in our Bitcoin community.

But to its contrary basis many crits and government have claimed btc usage on dark web to fund illicit activities because it's decentralisation nature like dealing in arms and drugs etc.You don't have to go through any third party settlement of funds which provides you freedom of funds but not transparency as each and every transaction prompted from any wallet is stored on public ledger blockchain and you can find address details from that.

Bitcoin was created with aim to be used as deflationary payment system by Sathoshi and to provide your freedom from Central banks and fiat to some extent but not to counter any crimes.

Suppose any funds are transferred to some another wallet you can't take any serious action because daily thousands of Bitcoin are moved on the network by whales and investors.Moreover they prefer to make fiat transaction for such crimes as well so we can't say btc or any other currencies would help in this manner unless government themselves took a step to end geographical and political wars among themselves.

At first welcome to this forum and it's good to see another insider giving reviews about different casinos.I have gone through 2-3 reviews you have made on Roobet and Stake and found them quite useful and in depth discussion is made for each them like interface, games, account which was nice feature to add on.

Unlike others you are giving reviews of casino you have not been a part of which provides transparency and no partiality on your behalf and keep it the same way.Going through deposit procedure to know the smooth functioning of casino payment gateway is best part on review basis and helps to know exactly how much time it will take and minimum amount for any coin.

Just look at some other sites also like BTCgosu are also geniune players in providing real time review for many casinos is detail and are trusted platform on the forum.

Try to add some more on your list like my signature @Rollbit ,@Duelbits on your updated list and build the trust of players on your site with same principles being followed.

Best wishes to you on your new project.
3684  Economy / Economics / Re: Three South Korean Banks Stop Working With the Nation’s Crypto Exchanges on: May 29, 2021, 08:30:40 AM
According to a report, three local banks in South Korea have stopped cooperating with the country's crypto currency exchanges. Such decisions by these banks regarding exchange offices are due to the strict and rigid regulatory environment of the country.
These banks include Woori Financial Group, KB and Hana.
Remarkably, Korean banks reaffirmed that South Korean regulation has largely created unfavorable conditions for crypto currency exchanges.
Under South Korea's new regulations, all crypto currency exchanges in the country must regulate their banking contracts for prosecution.
Of course, the new South Korean regulations have not yet been implemented in this regard and will enter into force on September 24, 2021.


Source: https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/three-south-korean-banks-stop-working-with-the-nations-crypto-exchanges-2516175
So there are more than 148 registered and licensed banks in South korea but the main point is that Financial group Bank is one of the largest banks in South korea and it's sad to see anti Bitcoin regulations adopted by these banks which can deprive account holders to directly invest in cryptocurrencies.

This might be another addition to the FUD being spread in the market for manipulation to dump and invest at low price again by the whales as it's not new method who knows.But if not another major reason could be excessive funds being flown into crypto market and banks fear of losing some control and want people to keep money at banks to maintain the cash inflow and outflow balance maintained in the economy.

That is the problem with banking sector and centralised Exchanges that could deprive your of crypto opportunity at any time by passing regulations against it.So decentalized and P2P Exchanges are best suited for that areas because people will still not much affected by these decisions and continue investing in the market.
3685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🔻 List of Casinos and Sportbooks to Avoid on: May 29, 2021, 08:07:46 AM
for members of this forum, therefore for newbies who want to play online gambling, they should avoid playing gambling at 1xBit.
You are right, that's good advice for beginners, I feel sorry to see the complaints suffered by members on this forum, What's even worse is what the 1xBit team did to freeze user funds until they quarreled with their wives, this is very bad in the world of gambling, people now regret betting on the 1xBit site, I hope there are no more new victims.



Thanks to: @ notblox1 for creating this thread, I hope beginners who like to bet on gambling sites before making a deposit or betting, You should check well-known gambling sites, maybe this thread can be a good example for beginners to find gambling sites with a bad reputation and avoid it.
There were many scam accusations against 1xbit and 1xbet so I already avoided playing on their platform so it's better to cross check before hand that whether the casino you are playing or want to deposit your funds with is legit or not in this risky gambling world of crypto.I was reading a post other day where user was given $10-$20 as birthday present every year by 1xbit team and was probably wondering is this their promotional strategy to retain existing customers so that they ignore that they are scam.But how do people still prefer to play with them inspite of so many allegations against them of fund withdrawal problem,locked account,no responsive support team and others.So guys please be aware of such casino or say it's better to stay away from them if you want security of funds as there are many more casino out there.Just came across this thread and want to share my opinion.

Rest thanks @notblox1 for creating awareness thread for newbies and helping them to find out the list from which they can know which casino is not legit and they stay away from them as for new players it's hard to find out the actual results but experienced ones can help them on this.
3686  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another guy talking about bitcoin founder! on: May 29, 2021, 07:49:32 AM
I saw a video on tiktok and was talking about the guy who is behind bitcoin. I had copied and pasted the link below so you can check the video.

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSJmCLVYK/

I think this is another assumption but since I do a little bit search about the guy I read some info regarding on conspiracy to break the US government financially through bitcoin system. I think there is a relevance in the story and bitcoin might break not only the US government but othee countries too that are allowing bitcoin and money conversions and transfers.

What do you think guys?
They also give fake relationship advices and other cringe contents on tiktok or musically so do you believe them all? They just want content for the video and without any knowledge they post it making Putin the genius behind Bitcoin creation.Use them for you entertainment purposes if you wish to do so but don't take them into creating threads out of it because it is baseless and useless talks.

So if it was made under a conspiracy to weaken US financial structure how come it will not affect the Russian economy with its decentralisation nature? Government will never put at stake their own control so better do your research properly and don't post such things which you also know is mere assumption.
3687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: YOUR FAVORITE GAMBLING? on: May 28, 2021, 05:52:07 PM
I have set different types of goals set against each game I bet upon like for entertainment purposes my favourite games are crash and slot games with minimum bets and just hit the multiplier whatever it is win or loss it's kind of fun playing them.

But if you talk about some skill based gambling then I would also go with some other members to poker because it requires some special skills and you can win with weak hands on table also.I have taken part in several competition on Swc Poker paid and some Bitcoin talk freerolls also and managed to have small wins.Actuallty the craze for poker arised watching "Daniel Negreanu" on the poker table three years back and his amazing skills to fool others players just hit me.So I also developed poker craze.

Ethereum coin has some different purposes to serve but still we always rush in making comparison with it overtaking btc at one point.What point exactly make you believe that? Pos feature? Really mate you need to check the cons of pos algorithm mechanism which provides filthy rich to have centeral control over the network if he stake enough funds to become main validator or node.On the other side this time everyone is becoming an environmentalist to save the planet earth from Bitcoin mining? Miners are already trying to find new ways to use renewable sources for mining but how much energy global financial assest use on the other side just check them also.Bitcoin market cap is already around $1 trillion and investors prefer to invest more in btc than other coins and limited supply push prices even higher.So your calculations are not correct mate.

Not all slots work the same way for gambling a lot depends on luck again if there is no knowledge of game strategy and game. Fate will be able to do nothing but fall into more risk therefore, without relying on luck game sites need to be analyzed and its strategies need to be learned there is no guarantee that you will win all the time. It is possible to win if you can master good techniques..
Of course there are game based on pure luck yet you need to apply some simple techniques on your behalf to rather than putting your luck at full risk and be dependent on game results.So you need to combine your luck with your strategies to find out some profits in slot game also.But yes you can't deny the fact that luck matters most in these slot games where you can hit big multipliers with small bets l,low RTP,high volatility which shows how lucky you have been on that win.
3690  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Iran bans Bitcoin too on: May 28, 2021, 11:52:25 AM
So they have banned Bitcoin mining for just 4 months due to blackout in major cities like Tehran and to they need to supply the energy to those cities.And this will not have any major negative impact on mining as they contribute nearly 4% of the total hashrate.They have just made this decision to electric shortage but not following any FUD because they maintain their foreign currency reserves with the help of regulated bitcoin mining.So don't worry about it.



The reason for the ban is the energy shortage, partially caused by Bitcoin mining. The same article claims that most of the Bitcoin mining happens illegally, so I'm curious if the ban is going to help.
The main cause of the Bitcoin mining is of course the cheap electricity. If there's a shortage, it's too cheap.
Exactly the electric cost in Iran is comparitavely lower than major countries like US with 6.74% lower at 15,97 per Kwh which is beneficial for miners.But this is causing them shortages in major cities.

But yes how will they stop illegall mining farms who are using more than 2000 mwh energy as regulated ones are using only 300mwh energy as stated by the article.So how come this ban will help them in stopping those illegal mining pools?
3691  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There are not even 21M BTCs, I'd say max.17M BTCs available at a given time on: May 28, 2021, 11:36:30 AM
What many people forget is that many bitcoins were already lost, some aren't mined yet and others will be lost in the future.

So scarcity is a great factor, but 21M Bitcoins is not even the true number, we will probably never have more than 17M active coins at a given time for >8 billion people! Imagine what owning 1 single BTC will mean in the next years, owning a single Bitcoin will mean a lot, it's gonna be huge. There are >51M people who are millionaires right now, they won't even be able to own 1 BTC each. So having values like $500K per BTC will seem pretty normal, people will dream for $40K per BTC in the future.
The supply of Bitcoin is fixed to 21 million coins which will all be mined till 2140 based on halving rewards.At current more than 18 million coins have been mined and nearly 2-3 million coins have been lost due to loss of private keys or death of wallet holders.You can check a list of dormant btc address for clarification.And yes all these are jointly decreasing the circulating supply of Bitcoin with increased demand which can further push the prices even higher.But we can't exactly say that there will be 17-18 million Bitcoins because we can't figure it out whose lost keys recovered like the German programmer who has 7-8k btc in hard drive.But one thing which is fixed is that supply cannot be changed above 21 million.

Apple looking for Business Development Manager – Alternative Payments

Key Qualifications:



https://jobs.apple.com/en-ae/details/200247094/business-development-manager-alternative-payments

So there's a big possibility that Apple Pay is going to accept crypto payments in the future? BTC? ETH? or maybe Doge?  Grin


Being a business you always need to adapt to changes which is essential for your growth.The United States have huge people involved in cryptocurrencies and making transaction with btc and other coins so Apple maybe thinking of it integrating crypto payments with their own wallet to facilitate these transactions and earn fees over them.They step into new business like announcement of apple e-car by 2024 and similar statement could be given that Apple e-wallets start to accept crypto who knows?

But it's just a normal talk as they are hiring a person with digital wallet experience in most advanced fields as making crypto wallets require a lot of technical setup behind and keeping the records of every UTXO set and making changes with any transaction and coordinate with other nodes.So they might be looking for such experienced developer and we have took this into long hype of discussion.Maybe we don't know what's going to happen.
3693  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: May 27, 2021, 02:18:44 PM
It really matter from my perspective!

Because you can't really hope to play some slot on low RTP with such low volatility and get big multiplier, minimum you at least playing on some slot 95/96% RTP with high volatility to get the best multiplier because low RTP & Volatility only give you small multiplier + 100-200x multiplier for the highest that if you are lucky enough to get this multiplier on low RTP & volatility slot.
Exactly you must take into consideration RTP factor while you are hitting and placing bets on any slot game even if the amount is small because it will determine how much profit or multiplier you can hit but ignoring them and just playing for fun is a different case If you know.Most of the gamblers play on slot with high RTP and place small bets and are lucky enough to turn them into big but if RTP is low win rate reduces automatically.

Few weeks in the future, you guys will not believe when a 6% ROI was enough to win 3rd prize on the "King of Trading"  Grin
Finally, there is some luck on my side after so much pain of losing every deposit.

Thanks Hh and Rollbit to show that there is still hope for humanity Grin
Congratulations on your win and coming at third position on first type of trading gambling on Rollbit and ofcourse it is good to see your fellow forum members to come up with these prizes.Best wishes to you mate

Yes in the start most casino offer promotional fun activities to players to increase their player base and build the trust and bind playes to their casino.But Roobet is somehow constant in some of their competition like guess the bets is being organised from a long time on regular intervals with $50 win and boosted wins upto $350.They are currently running art contest Art contest and it's fine on their side.But they are still organizing many such competition and as said by you they also need to manage funds and earn profits so they lowered the pace.
I hope that they will make a competition that is bigger than their previous ones like a bigger art contest where a real art critic is going to choose who is going to win.
At current they are holding art contest with space theme and prize pool of $5000 so how much more prize winning competition you are looking at?You mean to say that the artwork submitted should be checked by a real known artist or what? You can also try to give one of your submission if you are artist sort of person and win if it got selected as who knows.The prizes for this art competition are very much high compared to their previous 2-3 art contest and it's still good to see they promoting contest at such level and encouraging the players to boost their other skills also.Not many casino are putting such amounts in their promotional events but roobet is surely providing you with best opportunities and you must avail them.

The news  can bring in positive and negative situation for any market and it depends upon the investors of that market how they react to that situation and that's is relevant to direction of prices.If investors and news have direct relation market will witness crash in negative and bull run in positive news respectively.But yes we can say that most of the times it is the News, rumours and FUD's  that can change the direction of prices of any crypto like bitcoin.Same has happened this time also like under Musk influence and China's Bitcoin ban btc new  investors got panicked and start dumping their coins in the market which cause crash like situation.But ignoring these news can have no effect on prices as seen in some events in past.Rest this is always the issue and newbies still faces the FUD and market dips.
3696  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 21 million bitcoins is the same as 21 trillion bitcoins (for us now) on: May 27, 2021, 01:39:35 PM
So BTC will continue to be mined until about 2140, when all 21 million are finished. But imagine if there were 21 trillion bitcoins and it finished in say the year 9140, it actually wouldn't make any difference to us than 21 million, because the inflation rate would still be the same. I think the current bitcoin inflation rate is 1.3 percent or whatever. So just imagine if there were 21 trillion bitcoins and 18,648,168 BTC were currently in circulation, do you think people would still say you know there will only ever be 21 trillion bitcoins.... i dont think so. But it would be the same as saying there's only 21 million. Maybe in the year 2130 people can say that when there's only 10 years left but for us who are alive now, why should million or trillion matter. Inflation rate and circulating supply would still be the same.... any thoughts?
I know you want to refer to scarcity at main but you have generated a huge difference between 21million and 21 trillion because the algorithm changes with normal increase or decrease in supply and it will not remain Bitcoin any more.The inflation rate was kept in mind while making Bitcoin which makes it deflationary by mining all the coins by 2140 and prices will be increasing by that time and miners will earn fees over that 21million coins(as that's not possible due to lost bitcoins forever) and block rewards or halving will not occur.So it makes sense and we know how the system will work but for 21 trillion you don't know the system working or when actuall point of scarcity will arise with that.

Online gambling witnessed sudden boom in form of increased bets,players,sponsors which in turn surges the profit ratio of the casino owners and results are in front of you.Most players are now engaging in online gambling instead of physical casino locations.Bet365 sales increased drastically all over globally this made CEO in top 20 as she got highest package last year worth $598 million or say half a billion dollars increase in wealth all at once.So with increased gambling users profit of house and casino owners always increase with more percentage.

Ethereum founder Vitalik also state that Elon Musk is presence is not gonna last forever in the market and same is happening bit early as doge is not pumping with his latest tweets also and he might be working on some pos solutions for its development to make it coin of earth but nothing is going to work and his manipulation game is coming to a drastic end.

In my personal case, I did not like slots before, but as anti-stress they are an infallible option, you just have to allocate a small balance willing to lose and you already enjoy it a lot, and if you win, then the emotion is greater.
Yes, Slot is an enjoyable game, but players need enough balance to enter, when only have a little it could be sure to be less. I have experienced before when only have just $10 and all lose because of getting a little yield of profit. the emotion greater will happen when only have 1x chance and you got 100x multiply.
I don't think you need to have that large amount of balance for slots because as far as I know there are slots that could be played even at 1 cent. Of course the winning will depend on your multiplier but as per my experience if you only got a small multiplier the chances is you make win x2 from your current balance or more than that but it will be slow. Better have a huge multiplier.
Yes exactly i have seen many players with small bankroll balance like $3,$5,$10 and similar deposit balance try to play slot games with minimum entry fees and place bet on them with high multiplier and sometimes they are lucky enough to turn them into huge balance.So it's not your deposit balance but your luck and experience in these gambling sites which can give high yields.Some players turn $10 into $100 and some lost $100 deposit in first bet only.So just enjoy the game you are playing with any amount you wish to do so.

I am not aware of much schemes that prevents gambling addicts but recently it was discussed in the forum so I came to know about Gamstop self exculsion programme for great Britain.

https://www.gamstop.co.uk/

They help you to enroll with them and you enter into a legal aggreement with them according to which they restricts you to gamble on any site until a particular time or for the time of your contract.Many people are becoming addicted to gambling these days and lossing their hard earned money as well as their social life due to it.So these schemes are gaining huge popularity to stop them.
