3721  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bit Coin hits 55,000 USD on: February 28, 2021, 06:40:29 AM
How about that ?? $55,000  up about $15,000 in around one months time .
I notice a dip in several stocks , could be that the wiser investors are now trading in BTC ?

I sold several ounces of gold ,to buy in a week ago.  I'm a happy guy .
$55k is already touch in less than a month, and I think it is time to reach the next ATH, which can happen anytime.
But I think before the bitcoin price goes to that price, we will see an up and down of the price many times, and if you are panic, you will not see a chance to make a profit.
Maybe the investors are now trading in bitcoin and moving their funds to crypto because they see the chance to profit from crypto than in stocks.
It is good if you can make a profit from gold, and I think you can do that over and over again.

Obviously we have seen the correction for this month already, usually happen at the end of the week. So another bump along the long. Of course, crypto is now the number one assets, more than stocks, but it is very much volatile though and I'm sure investors know that. But for those who really wanted to gamble, then WallStreets can do both stocks and crypto.

Yes, we hit $55k already, but the question is when we are going to have a new all time high? I would say next month we could be hitting more than $60k.
I agree with you. Bitcoin prices have more chances to hit more than $60k, and that can happen anytime.
This month will end with the bitcoin price correction because we already see bitcoin price below $50k. After all, the price is still at the current price this week.
We should not be surprised if the price does not increase more than $50k in the first week in the next month because the supports seem not too strong to lift the price.
But that is only a prediction because everything can happen to the market, and we do not know what will happen later.
I hope the investors do not gamble with their money because that will be too risky as the market is still unpredictable.

3723  Economy / Speculation / Re: For all of you scared of the current dip on: February 27, 2021, 01:14:23 PM
If you have cash, buy the dip, if you don't, hold the dip. Just don't sell the bottom (which we are very likely at right now)!
It is good advice for us, thank you.
But some people already panic when they saw the downtrend yesterday, and they decide to sell their bitcoin.
Maybe that is the right moves for them to buy about bitcoin at a dip and hold it for more until the price can increase higher.
We must be careful with the dip because we do not know when the dip will come. And as your suggestion, try to buy the dip and hold it.
But this moment is still a good time to buy low and sell high because I see the price go up and down many times, so we have more chances to make a profit than just to hold.
3724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you rely on the odds when placing bets? on: February 27, 2021, 11:18:45 AM
The odd can be manipulative sometimes but it not primarily happens by the bookmaker cause some bookmaker buys or emulate the odds provided by some site. However, odds usually depend on the hype of the sporting event and the previous winning stance of each opponent.
Well I mean, odds are in the end manipulated based on the results and past histories of the teams, so it isn't exactly right to say it is "biased". Yes, hype is also a factor to take into account, but most hype is actually a result of the results of the past matches that the said team has. The sample is Team X had an insane run last year, most people would start rooting for them for the next year right? It isn't biased, but rather just the result of the teams showing results based on their past matches.

Yes. I definitely agree to this user. The idea of the person is always survey the situation, the last results and past matches. They will always pick who are in the top right? Humain instinct. We always believe that team or simply bets that is won in the past results are likely to wpn again because it will be a good image. I think it is not biased since it is always depend on the players instinct and decision where he would place his bets. But for me, also odds are one to look at. Because people always believe in their instincts I guess. Odds are a big factor.
If we do not have much information about the match, we can rely on instinct as sometimes, by using instinct, we can have a chance to win.
So no matter if the odds manipulated, we will feel that we can decide to place the bet or leave it for like that.
When that team has a great journey in the last year, people can use that as consideration to choosing back the team to place the bet, but they need to search for the updated news to know what is happening to that team on this day.
Maybe we have our method in choosing the team, and some of us rely on the odds to select the team.
In a situation where the gambler doesn't have much information about the match, he can only rely on the odds provided by the bookmaker but that doesn't seem right cause if a gambler doesn't have the needed understanding about the match it not must he bet on the game.
Still, it will be difficult for the gambler to choose the right team, as that can lead him to select the wrong team.
If that gambler does not want to know about the winner and only searches for the fun thing from the sports, he will not have a problem with the result at the end of the game.
He does not need to win the game because he knows that he does not have much information about the match.
Instead, searching for the information that needs more time can reduce his time watching the match and enjoying the game.
3725  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much lower you think BTC can go in this drop ? on: February 27, 2021, 09:13:32 AM
I hope the lowest price of Bitcoin in this current correction will be $43K-$45K. Then, after dropped till these prices, the Bitcoin price will continue to increase again. I really expect that the next increase will achieve $60K and will survive around $58K-$60K. If it can happen, the altcoin season will possibly come soon in the next few months.


Expect that, bitcoin is on a roller coaster ride specially at the end of the month.

And then when a new month comes in, the price will slowly recover in the first week, and then 2nd and 3rd week we will see another all time high around $60k-$70k. Altcoin season has started already, although it still has to be tied on bitcoin's price. When bitcoin is up, altcoin will only increase because of the domino effect.
I expect the same as both of you because the price drop will not stay for a long time in the market, and the price will start another rally.
We can hope that the price will be increased in the next month and start the rally and break $50k and even it will break $60k-$70k.
But before that, maybe bitcoin gives us more time to buy back more bitcoin because if the price is starting to increase, we will be too late to buy bitcoin.
So we need to use this time to buy bitcoin.
Maybe in this drop of bitcoin price, we can hope that some altcoin can increase so that can help us to get more profit in bitcoin that we can sell when the price increase.
3726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: February 27, 2021, 06:05:02 AM
Sports betting or casinos can be considered as source of income for living, but the bitter truth, it requires patience and shouldn't go out of control. Most of the time people loss out of gambling due to emotional failure. This means people slowly make an earning, and by the end of the day due to greed of making big money and lack of self control empties the Wallet within minutes.
It can be. But not many people can be wise to use sports betting or casinos as their source of income because they want to win more after one or two wins on sports betting.
If they can hold their emotion from becoming greedy, they can use sports betting as a source of income, but they still manage their bankroll carefully.
It will no problem if they are slowly earning from sports betting because they will see that their income will become bigger, and once it becomes bigger, they should very carefully.
It's true that people can make gambling a source of income to live, but the problem is only a few people are able to control their emotions so as not
to be greedy. Because if we can't control greed, instead of being a source of income, gambling can be a source of trouble. Because those who
cannot control their emotions can become addicted. Will definitely have financial problems and his life will be ruined. So my advice is to keep our mind
off of making gambling a source of income, if indeed the risk is very large. Make gambling into entertainment, much more useful.
A greedy problem will be on every gambler, and it is not easy to control our emotions.
There will be a time that we can forget about controlling our greediness and want to chase bigger winning.
It happens many times to every gambler, and we know that only a few gamblers can make gambling a source of income to live, but they do not tell much about that.
As it says, the practice will be very difficult, but we must try to control it before we ruin ourselves and lose too much money in gambling.
3727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sponsor Money from Casino, Is bad or Good? on: February 26, 2021, 01:53:03 PM
Well that is how they earn and that is how it works as long as the streamer knows that what they are promoting is legit and not just a scam site then I think there isn't a problem.
Casino would try any advertisement or promotions that they could so it is normal that they would also go to streamers specially those who have a good ratings and many viewers.
So we also shouldn't just rely on the streamers review because we know that some of them got paid to do it we should also do our own research if we ever wants to try the site that they are promoting.

in reality, influencers are winning the game. it's all about social media activity now. there is no effect on SEO nor adnetworks anymore, people already know the popup ads on webpages and adwords on youtube videos. but a shirt with the company name being worn by the streamer is different and the influencer talking about the company is just adding attraction to the company.
Nowadays, people become wise when they watch the ads from the influencers and can filter the information from those ads.
A gambler knows how to search for the other review and not just rely on the influencers.
The casino is trying to use the other way and suggest something different to the influencers and maybe they will use the other strategy to make their viewers curious.
But there are new gamblers who do not have much experience and information follow the influencers without searching from the other sources.
The influencers are still getting paid from the casino company because they already help the casino get more members.

3729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Trust In-House Casino Competition? (Wager/Multiplier/Raffle) on: February 26, 2021, 06:17:24 AM
Many casinos have leaderboards for a wide range of competition. Is there a way to verify the validity of the users and their scores? What stop the casinos from printing random (fake) users and put that on the leaderboard?

That's the reason I only participate in competitions published and handled in Bitcointalk. It's easier to verify. Do you also think the same?

Sincerely,
A skeptic guy.
If the leaderboards are at the gambling sites with reputations, I believe that they will not give a fake result because that will be related to their reputations among the members.
I do not know how to verify the validity, but I believe in the gambling site's big name, as I said before.
The competitions that launch in the bitcointalk come from the gambling site with good reputations, recommended, and trustable, so there is no point for the user not to believe in them. They are one of many recommended gambling sites here.
The casinos can print random users on their leaderboard, but I do not think that the big gambling site will do that.

3731  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predicts $100k before end of the year on: February 25, 2021, 12:05:05 PM
$100k price is posible at the end of the year, i think it will reach that point because we are now at the first quarter of the year and btc price rise up o $51k so i think if bitcoin will continue to rise it will maybe touch $100k at the end of the year. But this was only a prediction after all market will always depend on supply and demand.
Yes, that is possible to happen at the end of the year, but if everything is going smoothly, we can see $100k before the end of the year, and that could be at Q3-Q4.
Before the price can increase, we will see many speculations or predictions about where the price will go, and sometimes we will see another downtrend from that prediction.
But we should not worry about that because that will not always happen, and that is why we need to analyze by ourselves and not just depend on people who made speculations.
3732  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: King Billy is stealing our money! on: February 25, 2021, 06:53:36 AM
I played today for hours on King Billy. did about 200 spins and nothing. WHats up with their RTP seems wrong cause it doesnt make any sense. Sent a complaint to King Billy. Dont recommend at all. Has this happened to more people?
I do not gamble on that site, but if you lose 200 spins, that will be your responsibility. Why you let yourself play gambling and lose it on that games.
If you use too big money, I think 200 spins will be too big money, and I do not think that you can recover that losing money because you lose it from playing gambling games.
I do not play gambling with too big money, so I do not have experience with that.
You should wait for a while until they respond to your complaint and search for the problem.
well it took him 200 to realize he's not winning against them. pushing the luck that hard could lead to losing more.
site is not known here in the forum. users who are aware of scams in bitcoin casino will never play on a casino that's not very familiar here in the forum. I can KingBilly has a thread in bitcointalk but i don't remember them doing a promotion here to make their casino reputable.
We do not know how much money he uses to gamble for that 200 spins.
If he can tell us about the money he spent, we can see that it is a big or small losing. But still, that is a loss for him.
I think he found that site from the search engine because if he found the site from here, I am sure he will know what gambling site has reputations and has a good service to their members.
Even if the site promotes this forum, they can easily scam people on here and run away with the money because we do not know if they are serious with their business or just want to scam the people.
3733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sponsor Money from Casino, Is bad or Good? on: February 25, 2021, 05:15:34 AM
I does not mean that if a popular youtuber sponsored by a newly build casino that I will play there right away. These casinos need to build community, sponsoring someone to promote their platform is not enough to gain customers. Online casinos should be straightforward and highlights the benefits of using their platform.
Yes, I think the casino will not suggest or force the YouTuber to play gambling because that will be the YouTuber's decision.
If the YouTuber can try to gamble on the site he promoted, that can give the site more viewers or visitors. Still, the casino needs to warn the YouTuber or their viewers that playing gambling will be their responsibility and never use big money to gamble.
That will be a good suggestion to every people who watch the advertisement, and the viewers will see that the casino gives a warning before they gamble.
That kind of sponsor is one way to promote their platform so that the casino can grow day by day.
Indeed, promotions is always a good potential to grow a certain business in order to compete with several gambling sites. We have our freedom to choose and with respect to bad or good, that just depends on a perspective of an individual who judge a certain idea about gambling. Because, generally you can't figure our a person who been ruined by gambling and it's only the effect of his bad habits we consider gambling to become bad. With respect on sponsorship there's no definite judgement but purely business.
I think people who follow the Youtuber to playing gambling will not think about Youtuber's invitation because he will busy playing gambling on that site.
So if you are watching the ads on Youtube coincidentally, you can just skip the ads and watch the other ads, which will not make you curious about the gambling games.
But unfortunately, many people do not know about that, and they visit that gambling site and playing for some rounds using the free money or welcome bonus from the site.
The sponsorship will benefit both Youtube and the gambling site, and people will need to be wise if they watch the ads.

Another question is how people are willing to wait, because as we have seen in the last 2 days or so, it seems that there are a lot of panic sellers, puling the price down. I'm expecting that the 6 digits will be hit this year, we are just like x2 with the current price, so it's really doable.
That will depend on them, but I am sure that many people are still waiting for the next rally, and even if the rally does not start yet, the price can back to $49k-$50k, so there will be a big chance for bitcoin price to increase again.
We should not worry about many panic sellers because they do not know if the bitcoin price will increase higher than the price now.
If you believe in bitcoin, you should not panic and try to buy more bitcoin while the price does not increase.
I am sure the bitcoin price will get a pump again as bitcoin have much time to get it later.

3736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dump just after a new listing? on: February 24, 2021, 10:17:15 AM
I think it is normal to see if the token can increase after the developer's announcement, and I think that can be a good sign for the token to increase more in the next months.
But you should be careful because we do not know if there are manipulations behind that since we know that the whales will always behind the projects, but they do not show who they are.

I sold AME tokens at the price range of 0.04 USD, but a few days later the price increased quite significantly. I think that someone is playing with the price of the AME token, maybe the developer is buying back their token to increase the token price.
Maybe that is right because we only see what happens in the market.
If that happens, sooner or later, people will see if the developer is buying back their token to increase the token price.
We should give the token some time to see what the price will be in the next weeks or months.
I also see the price gets a pump highly at the Bithumb, but I do not think about the negative and I think that is normal for that token.

All people who hold bitcoin will have the same thing as you, which they want to see bitcoin at $100k or $1M, and bitcoin is on the way to reach $100k.
What happens to bitcoin so far attracts many people out there to join the bitcoin world because they see bitcoin has the investment side, which they can use to buy and hold bitcoin.
It is better if you can use bitcoin and gold together to have two types of investment.
3739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take team's cohesion into account when betting? on: February 21, 2021, 12:10:12 PM
But what about the higher leagues?

Let's say the NBA. It is true that a lot of superstars are gathering in one team but we don't know if they are exactly happy with each other. I mean they can still play ball and adjust to what they should be doing because they are a professional athlete and they are paid to do it. Cohesion and a best player matters, in the real world the better team still wins.

of course, they are paid to be professional and to lead the team, take a look at the Bulls on Jordan era there was a rift between them and their manager, but they still managed to win 6 championship rings, because they know how to win and how to unite the team to be cohesive in the court. 
They know how to unite all players and give the best performance in that game.
Cohesion and the best player matters because that is how the team can win in almost every match.
But sometimes, they can not unite and play better because every player must try to defeat their ego in the field.
But for professional athletes, that will not be a problem as they know how to manage their emotions and forget their ego for trying to win.

It is advertising and marketing purposes, so I am ok with that. Whoever the person that marketed the casino should have the creative freedoms to show the casino and the way he plays inside it. But sponsorships is usually a one way street. I mean let's get real folks, you don't pay someone only to give you a negative feedback, right? So the youtube or the celebrity simply shows you his experiences inside the casino and it is up to the audience to decide whether to go there or not.

There's no problem advertising a casino since its not really bad at all, but it matters on the credibility of casino since its really bad to advertise something without knowing the real information and background on what you are advertising and if this one could possibly create chaos due to upcoming scam well that will be a huge mistake by the advertiser since they are one of the tool on why those scam casino scam thousand or shall we say millions of dollars on their gamblers that's why we should verify if they good to advertise or not before we offer it to our audience.

this is where integrity of the endorser comes in. you will see his moral values in this regard. even if he is sponsoring a gambling site, he should make sure that he is promoting a legal one with no existing valid scam allegations. a responsible endorser knows what he is promoting and not only because he is after for the money that he will get.
But sometimes, the endorser does not know about illegal gambling or legal gambling because not all endorser will try to find out about that company or the sites.
As long as he can see the money behind that sponsorship, he will try to give the best for the company which hire them.
It will be a mistake for the endorser if he does that because it can risk his career.
Maybe the endorser needs to be careful if he gets an offer from the company, any company, and it will better to search for them before he accepts that.

It's impossible that they will not do any research on what they are endorsing since it's a dumbest decision to accept whatever it is as long as they will get sponsor and be paid. I know they do a research about this but there are influencer especially those small ones who doesn't care about reputation since the one they aim is to get the paycheck and leave once there job is done.
Well, that can happen. Maybe they do not research for the details, and maybe they do not even think about the illegal and legal gambling site.
Not all of them will do that, and we know that if people can get offers, some big money will not research because the money tempts them.
Some influencers on the blog do not relate to their field, but they accept offers about something different from what they did.
But that will be up to them because that is their job and field.
Besides that, we do not know much about them.
Maybe if that influence is our friend, we can suggest them to research the company before deciding.
