3801  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it a good time to get in or not on: November 23, 2020, 05:33:46 PM
Can one still dare to invest in Bitcoin when price is skyrocketing this high? I remember that some invested in Bitcoin at 20,000$ and the whole market started crashing on them, before they could pull out their money it's already too late and till today they haven't recovered their money, is this a good time to get in or it's already too late?
When talking about Bitcoins, I always consider the situation like: When was the best time to buy bitcoins? Yesterday! But since you missed then you can buy now. Basically the price keeps surprising us because there were people who asked if it was worth buying at 12k and we all know the answer but in hindsight.

I would never recommend anyone to buy bitcoins if you need that money for livings because if the price goes down by a few thousand bucks you will be mad and blame me but if you have patience and can wait months in the worst case scenario then go ahead and buy some. In the long run no one has ever regretted buying Bitcoins and there is no reason for the pattern to change, but it is investment and has its own risks so do your own research too.
3802  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake or nitrogen my point of view on: November 23, 2020, 03:47:13 PM
I respect all sportsbooks that have stayed around for years and as OP points out,,, every bookie has their pros and cons. For me the most important no matter what else is Customer Support. Everyone knows that at some point, we will face an issue with our accounts or our gaming. Maybe a glitch. Or a lost account. Or a mistaken deposit. This is when the real test happens, how helpful Customer Support is and how nice they treat you.

So in this case, I can only speak of very few sites because I cannot really say until I have my own experience.
I can assure you that stake actually has one of the best support team and although sometimes limited but every chat agent is humble and has an attitude of helping because no disrespect to cloudbet but their support system is weak as I asked a small question and he said we will answer you via email and it took 3 days to get a real answer because I got bot replies kind of answers first.

Nitrogensports had some issues recently because of which I haven't used them but to be honest they were amazing sometime ago when I used to bet there and one of the biggest sportbooks so don't know why they declined so badly and now I do not even feel like playing there for the issues they have with players.
3803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitter accounts of crypto gambling sites on: November 23, 2020, 10:04:27 AM
We can all benefit from their Twitter if we want to join as followers. Because of all the latest updates about them, they will publish them via Twitter as well.
Maybe regarding the giveaway, they will also share it via their twitter. Nice job!
Yeah, a lot of giveaways are indeed done through twitter exclusively like stake often asks users to retweet and the pick a lucky winner so yeah there are many giveaways that are happening which are missed because of not having the twitter handles for all the casinos.

I really appreciate the efforts putted in the OP and I have saved the page so I can check daily once to find if there are any new giveaways because it is easier to check them all at once instead of googling and then checking each twitter handle separately, so thanks a lot.

I would love to have their other handles too maybe like if a casino is not as active on twitter and might be more active on FB then add those links, just a suggestion though.
3804  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Life, gambling and trials. on: November 23, 2020, 04:57:21 AM
When I gamble with cryptocurrencies, the wins just become part of my portfolio. I look at it as a positive outcome of an investment. Better than investing my own money to buy and invest in crypto. Since I am an occasional sports gambler, I no longer have a separate pot I use just for gambling. Therefore, any fiat wins/losses are just money that is in my wallet or not. I use it for whatever needs I have at that specific time.
Yeah, being a sports bettor myself too, I actually withdraw my won amount and convert in into fiat because I buy crypto with fiat and I try to maintain a balance between how much I am buying BTC and how much I am selling since my salary paycheck are not huge and I have to ensure I am not just buying too much crypto and gambling away all of it.

I don't have much stories in gambling rather than my epic fail bets.
So I would just answer OP's question
I use my gambling winning on myself I would sometimes go out and buy some new stuff or just keep it on my wallet.
But most of the time I would buy some foods with my profit.
Don't have a big story either but if I ever win big I have plans, I will be buying a house if the win is big enough because rent is really killing my salary and rather than having lavish life I would rather want to solidify my current life.
3805  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Miner's fees on: November 22, 2020, 09:04:28 PM
It’s very, very annoying. You’re not the only that hates this high fees of a thing. Imagine when you have to do just a little transaction and you have to pay a lot of money for a little transaction. Wanted to do a transaction of $50 the other day and my wallet was showing fees of almost $5, which means I had to spend $55 in total.

I have been looking for a solution to this problem. I once installed a wallet that claims to offer the lightening network feature, but I didn’t really trust them, so I had to uninstall it and go back to the normal wallet I was using. I’m still wondering how high the fees will be as the price is on its way up.
3806  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Money laundering via BTC on: November 22, 2020, 08:37:35 PM
Hi guys ! My name’s Dave.
ข่าวกีฬา
Is it possible to do money laundering via bitcoin? I mean as no one knows if you have bitcoin and how much bitcoin do you actually own, it could be used to convert black money to white right? Or at least store your black money without much hassle. But there is the risk of its value but I think for people who have lots of black money and don't want to be caught, this risk might be worth taking for them isn't it?
What are your thoughts?
It’s possible for people to commit money laundering using Bitcoin, but based on my research long ago, the percentage of such thing happening is around 0.5% and it’s way too less compared to cash, which means that criminals or people who commits such a crime makes use of mostly cash to carry out their operation and Bitcoin is mostly not an option for them.

The reason why they don’t consider Bitcoin is because the Blockchain technology leaves every transaction public, which also makes it manageable, and they can be traced with it. They still have methods that they use at times to launder money though, but I still think if the government is serious in tracing them, they will still do.
3807  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The next 10x altcoins ?..... on: November 22, 2020, 06:54:04 PM
Do not chase coins that you will not hold for a very long time or until it makes a good return. If you have your goals at x10 that means you will have to wait a lot, not that many coins could make 10x profit anymore, even ethereum had almost over a year before it could reach x10 and now obviously it is countless times higher than the starting amount but it took half a decade to reach those levels.

At the end of the day, either hope to stay in a coin for at least 5 years to reach that 10x level, or make a more realistic approach, like maybe 50% profit? That is a lot of money, you are putting 1k and leave with 1.5k that is a great return even on small numbers, in bigger ones you can disturb the market too much if the volume is not too high and you end up with like 100k which is x10 more than the volume.
3808  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins will reach all time high on 2021 on: November 22, 2020, 04:44:31 PM
It looks like some of them are already trying for that, many of them are just x3 away from ATH and that is not really that incredibly in altcoin world. I have seen plenty of altcoins make x3 just this year, with one more year under their belt they could certainly break their all time high.

I can't guarantee anything because they had a great year this year and that means they could have a very bad year next year, who knows?

But at least it looks possible more than ever and that is why I believe it is quite important that we stay hopeful about all time high for altcoins. There are tons of people who made good returns from bitcoin this year, they will be looking to move to altcoins to keep on profiting because bitcoin will stop somewhere (looks stopping even right now).
3809  Economy / Economics / Re: new central banks currenicies vs fiat currency? on: November 21, 2020, 09:07:15 PM

the goverments have plan to create their own cryptocurrenicies, so the btc and eth was just testing currencies to see how it works and get people to use with cryptocurrenies?
first whats wrong with fiat currency? the cash is works good nothing wrong with this.
second how they are going to control how much to issue the currency and how the value will be backed?
and by who the transparanscy is guranteed?
The government is creating digital currency, but there is nothing wrong with the fiat, it’s still going to be there even after they have created and released their own digital currencies.

The digital currency they are creating is for things to be better, but it’s still similar to the fiat money, I don’t know why they are making it seem like their central bank digital currency will be something very different, nah it wouldn’t, and it’s going to be issued by central banks, it’s same as holding fiat. Already there are much we can do without the need of the digital currencies they are trying to create.
3810  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin has just halved for the third time! A snaphot of various metrics! on: November 21, 2020, 05:22:53 PM
A little update after three months.
A brief recognition on mining industry: it's has been an hell of a battle,, but at the end some winner is surfacing!

Difficulty exploded after the halving.
As expected the difficulty in mining Bitcoin increased and the rewards halved. And also that means the level at which coins will be supplied will be reduced and demand will get passed the supply and the price will increase to fit in with that high level of demand. The miners are still going to be able to recover what they are investing in buying new equipment. Some of them complained at the start due to the earlier drop, now that price is up $18.9k they will be happy about it.

There are some that even quit from mining after Halving, because they thought it was going to be a waste of their time buying new miners, because their old miner couldn’t keep up.
3811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lottery Gambling on: November 20, 2020, 09:26:08 PM
I haven't encountered this kind of lottery online, much less one which accepts Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, although this is prevalent in my community as well. But most of it are being ran by illegal gambling operators which do not pay taxes to the government but pay a slice of its income to local law enforcement authorities apparently for protection.
Yeah and these illegal operators are actually scam because they are not working on a fair model and they see which lottery number has been sold least and they will list it out as the winner. I will explain how this works in my country, basically they you can buy 1 number from 1-9 and they will reveal the winning number by tomorrow morning via various channels such that everyone knows yet there is no proof for legal authorities to catch them. So basically the number sold least is the number they declare as winner and earning huge profits.

To be honest, I cannot find any viable strategy on this kind of game. This is purely about luck, one which comes more seldom than the blue moon. The reason why the illegal operators of this game are fast becoming filthy rich is that there are too few winners, perhaps oftentimes none, in every draw.
Exactly and you cannot complain about them either because you played an illegal lottery in first instance and then there is no proof of how you were cheated and who they are.
3812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe NBA is rigged? on: November 20, 2020, 08:24:41 PM
The league would not risk their billions of revenue just to rigged games, what would that help them? If they got caught, the entire organization will be shut down and that revenue will stop, let's be realistic here, refs, players, or one of the officials could influence the game but the whole organization is not making it, that's for sure.
i think you are right with this they won't destroy their reputation that easily and lose revenue just to rig the game i agree that if there would be a rig here the organizations have nothing to do with it.
The only way the games can be rigged is through referees because look the players playing the NBA game are young and talented but they are paid way beyond what a fixer would pay them and they know if the match fixing is caught their contracts will end, their careers will come to a halt and most important they even will have to forfeit the money they took from the fixer/gambler.

Referees on the other hand play a big role like they also play a big role in MLB for calling Strike and someone who watches these leagues know how crucial a single strike call can be and what impact it has on the entire game. Similarly they can make a bad call or a no-foul call in the last moments of an NBA game and change it completely and they are not paid close to what players earn so they are the soft target.
3813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any insurance service for gamblers to retain heavy losses....??? on: November 20, 2020, 07:24:15 PM
As far as I know such insurance service doesn't exist. It would be just to risky and I don't know how could be that even profitable so I don't know how could anyone decide for such business idea. Besides, to my opinion that would only encourage gambling addiction so impact wouldn't be acceptable.
I would say rakeback or cashback is the only option a gambler has to gain some of the lost amount. The thread was opened in 2017 and there might be not many casinos that offer such services but now almost every casino and some even sportsbooks offer rakeback for users and there are varius other perks for high rollers.

I believe players should actually consider checking the VIP program before starting their betting because at times some casino offer more rakeback but they earn more via higher house edge while there are some casinos that will offer lower rakebacks but they offer minimal house edge so it depends on us which one suits us better.
3814  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins I have in my wallets on: November 20, 2020, 01:53:21 PM
I currently mining or have mined these altcoins, I would to know which coin the board thinks has a ggod chance of higher advancement in the future long or short term. The coin are : Bitbar, digibyte, zero, komodo, zel, vidulum, einsteinium, Lbry credit, bitcoin gold, verge, beenode, ycash, gleec, bitcoin sv, litecoin, zcsh, verus, bitcoinz, zclassic, and safecoin
Bitcoin gold? Like who still talks about bitcoin gold at this time, I even thought the coin died off after the fork since a lot of exchanges rejected it. I can remember very well that the exchange I was using then we’re sending their users mail to exchange their Bitcoin Gold’s for Bitcoin after the fork, and I also did the same, and since then I have not heard anyone talking about it or seen it on the news.

I am just surprised that you’re mining it. Among the whole coins you have listed, for me, Litecoin is the one that has a very good chance of advancement in future, even as there is a bull run approaching, it’s going to rise in price.
3815  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China’s Miners Struggle to Pay Power Bills, Regulators Clamp Down on OTC Desks on: November 20, 2020, 04:46:27 AM
What else are you expecting from a country with a government that doesn’t let them exercise their right in most situations? They have released their own cryptocurrencies and of course they will be expecting their Chinese citizens to be making use of the digital Yuan, and they will see Bitcoin as a threat to their own digital money that’s being released.

Anyway, that is not going to stop Bitcoin, Chinese people are not the only people that are mining Bitcoin, there are so many other countries where Bitcoin is being mined. With that said I still know for sure that what their government is doing is quite wrong, it would have been better if what they did was regulate it to avoid money laundering and all that, but banning it completely is something I don’t like at all.
3816  Economy / Services / Re: looking for partner with paypal account (receiving payments) on: November 19, 2020, 08:25:43 PM
Warning, if you have PayPal account don't give out to people because they can fund your account with illegal money and you will be in trouble or even get arrested, you can be accused of funding terrorists or cabals, be very careful, Paypay accounts carries your full details don't be stupid
Not only with paypal. But, it is same with every payment processing company. They all have all the details and will share them with govt agencies when they require due to any illegal activity and nowadays so many cryptocurrency exchanges and projects also have all the user's data and can leak them whenever they want.

So, do not share your account with random people and let them receive payment to your account. It can cause so many trouble to you later on. Always prevention is better than curing Smiley.

Another day, another promotion!

We have teamed up with @Hhampuz yet again to bring you this awesome promotion. Good luck!

This is a nice idea of involving members of forum for your campaign in a way. Though some of them may not be directly associated with Duelbits in terms of promotion but when you do take part in it, somehow you feel a good thing and on top if you happen to win the prize as well you somehow feel it is your part only and get associated with it. So this is beneficial for a long term perspective as well.  
Any casino Hhampuz is associated with, he takes them to next level just like he did with roobet and hopefully will keep bringing more contest with duelbits and other casinos he is working with, always a pleasure to see these coming.

I have seen guys hitting amazing wins on Jammin jars so I tried my luck but hasn't so lucky and did not manage to win anything significant but I felt like I was around the corner in my hunt of winning big.

Can someone please suggest some good slots with buy-in feature? There are so many slots I get confused so would love to know some tested good slots from you guys Smiley.
3818  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will be hitting to $35000 soon - Buy it today!! on: November 19, 2020, 01:55:15 PM
I've seen this prediction from my social media account some of my online friends are posting that it would hit $35K.
But that's just it same as OP they are posting without any explanation.
I know that $35K is realistic and it could really happen but why set it there? why not $25K or $30K is there any explanation why most of them are telling $35K?
Maybe you can ask your friends why they are saying $35k specifically because if everyone is saying exactly $35k then maybe there must be some solid reasoning behind it, because $35k is a odd amount to predict. But, if more than one technical analysis are predicting the same region of price levels then we need to accept them and then only time will prove their accuracy.

for sure Bitcoin will go to $ 35k but not till this year-end...
I also believe that $35k is a far possibility even though the movement in recent past has been great but really it is always expected to grow around new year and I think maybe $25k is realistic but $35k is far too high. Still, with bitcoin markets anything will be possible.
3819  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best trading platform? on: November 19, 2020, 01:25:33 PM
I was using Binance and Bittrex last few years and I think this is the best exchanger for trade. On the other hand. these exchangers are also smooth and safe and secure. Coinbase is my one favorite exchanger and i am using this exchanger for other coinbase transactions.So there have a lot of exchangers on online platforms but chose the best exchanger for you.I strongly recommended this exchanger to anyone.
I have used both of them and I honestly do not like Bittrex because their support system is horribly bad, at least my encounter with them was terrible and the problem was not solved, I deposited coins to an address that is owned by them but they refused to help me out. I know I should not have deposited but at least since they own the wallet they could and should have helped. Binance is fluent although I never had similar encounter there so don't know how they would have reacted.

You have correctly chosen Binance, but why choose Wazirx and Ezbitex?
Yes, all of them have their own favorites, but try to explain why you chose Wazirx and Ezbitex,
for Binance I already understand.
WazirX might be coming as a recommendation from users in India as I read an article and they are the biggest exchange in India and they had some partnerships with Binance which makes them look trustworthy.
