Opps, I might have started a wrong post.

They seems to have limited games right now and I couldn't give more updates as my sportsbook does not cover those matches.

Just want to ask for more suggestion.

Market is bad buddies, any other HYIP recommendation?

 Grin


Lol! Do you really think that HYIPs gonna make you money?? These are ponzi and ponzis are here to scam people. They will never work for you, rather they will work against you. If you really want to make money sincerely, try crypto trading! Initial hiccups will be there, but eventually you will learn to ride the wave and make money out of it.

Also the betting tips services are nothing but a hoax. Never blindly use such kind of services. If they have the ability to provide correct predictions, they would have used it with their own money. They would have never sold it in the market. You look very new in the online money making world so beware of such risks.

Exactly that is the reason we will never see blockchain in the governance. If everything within government become transparent, how the power mongers will function?? How the bureaucrats will make money? How the politicians will take the juice out of the economy?? How the police force will indulge in illegal practices?? Do you understand the gravity of this issue?? 

Maybe not everything has to be decentralized. Transformation must be slow but strong. Some adjustments can be made by the central authority. / Thank you for your comment.


You will never see a complete decentralized governance ever in your life. Because there are so many things in an efficient governance that needs to remain as classified. Some progressive governments like Japan or Germany probably will adopt the blockchain for better and transparent governance in some areas but largely you won't see much changes from majority of the other governments.

I have worked with government and beaurocrats earlier in my life. I have a macro level idea on how the system works in third world countries. Transparency is a big no-no in government offices!

What is your Satoshi theory?

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on Satoshi Nakamoto.

If he's not with us today, I'm sure he'd be appalled with the amount of money being printed by governments/central banks.

One of his legendary quotes are:

"If you don’t believe it or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry."

Is he deceased? Did he pass away from Cancer or some other grave illness?

We don't know whether he is alive or dead, neither we want to know.

BTW, there's a new theory in the market about Wei Dai being Satoshi Nakamoto. Read below,

https://news.bitcoin.com/many-facts-wei-dai-being-satoshi/

Nothing out of the box like any other Satoshi claims but you won't feel bored while reading!

I have already invested 3 BTC in one good project, and I am getting regularly dividends every week in last 35 weeks, so I am VERY happy there. If somebody wants to know more about it, those personal messages I will read and reply when I can.

What is stopping you from posting the details here??

If you think it is good and genuinely pays money to the investors, what's the problem??

Also do you have a guarantee that your program will not run away with people's money after some time?

Bank can print 999,999 out of 1 dollar, that's mean bank purchasing power now is $999,999 while your purchasing power is still $1

This thread is kinda funny! Hi OP, can you please let me know how did you reach the above calculation?? I don't understand how banks or governments can print 999,999 out of 1 dollar.

FED rate cut and eventually decreasing to zero - usually happens when government wants to provide a stimulus to the market. It helps the market to access super-cheap loans as well as super-cheap repayments. It ensures more money stays with the people so that the demand can be increased in the market. If demand increases, productions industries will have more orders and if they have more orders, more people will find employment. This is how it works in an economy! Zero rate does not entails banks to print more money!

Utter nonsense!
3828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gamification Works in the iGaming Industry? on: April 01, 2020, 04:57:13 PM
Almost every online casinos are using this method in one or other ways. Probably not at a huge level, but at least some form of gamification is there.

There are many websites, which offers a free "wheel of luck" to every non-registered visitors to try their luck, any winning can be added to their account automatically if they decides to register an account. It definitely increases engagement as well as the conversation ration significantly.

I have seen many websites who provides bonus bets to the active players if they reach a certain number of bets and so on. So Gamification to attract new players and to retain old players are already available.

I don't want to highlight any particular website because you will find it almost everywhere!

I don't think anyone apart from the exchange owners will have any insight on those data points. Both WazirX and Unocin owners are very active in Twitter. You can ask them directly and I don't think they will have any issue in answering.

Hope this helps!
3830  Economy / Economics / Re: Economy is dying but market prices are going up? on: April 01, 2020, 02:29:55 PM
Op, you have already given the answer - the market is rebounding partly because of the external stimulus injected by the government. Government is providing additional liquidity to the market as well as to the companies. That's why we see this kind of rebounding.

Also, there is something called "fair value" in stock market. We know a lot of companies had to stop production because of this pandemic so their stocks are trading below their "fair valuation".

But we all know that the situation is temporary and these companies will start operating as soon as this is gone. So people with money, are buying stocks of such companies while they are cheap. Such kind of buying is also another reason why the market is rebounding.

Will countries close their borders now? Or will they fight together against common threats?

Yes - is the answer to both of these questions. Countries have already closed their borders and imposed travel ban. At the same time, all countries are fighting their own fight against this pandemic. Rich countries are helping poor countries to get out of this situation. So the fight is everywhere to save the human race!

Quote
In short, every sector and habit that brought nations together started to shake. I think the world of the future is left to nationalists. How about you? What do you think? Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps states will understand that they live on the same ship in the world. They will develop common responses to common threats. (Global Warming, Environmental Pollution, Population Growth, International Terrorism, Epidemic Diseases...) They will try to make the world more livable together. Maybe...

Extreme Nationalism = fascism!

US chosen Trump as their president and India chosen Modi as their Prime Minister. Both of these incidents denotes that world has already seen a rise in the Nationalist power which eventually lead to fascism, less in US but prominently in India!

I believe, we have reached such a time where a global force is needed to fight the human problem with a human way! But it looks difficult because the fascist forces are ruling the major economies, US, China, India. All of these countries are being ruled under various levels of dictatorship who came to the power by spreading hatred towards a particular religious minority. We can just hope for the best!

“Governance encompasses the system by which an organisation is controlled and operates, and the mechanisms by which it, and its people, are held to account.”* Governance must be used in public administration, even if the new world is national. Enabling people to participate fairly in the system is only possible with Blockchain system. A more decentralized world is waiting for us in the future.

Exactly that is the reason we will never see blockchain in the governance. If everything within government become transparent, how the power mongers will function?? How the bureaucrats will make money? How the politicians will take the juice out of the economy?? How the police force will indulge in illegal practices?? Do you understand the gravity of this issue??

Let's look at the below steps:
1. I have one million dollar at my house
2. I post an ad to my local newspaper about it
3. Thief came to my house and stole that money
4. Now I blame FED as FED is a scam!

Was this a part of April 1st  Cheesy I see you shared no link here. Also, I googled it and got no source which make me sure that it was a part of April fool. If not, please share an authentic link. It will be a good news for us.

You can check the below link:
https://news.bitcoin.com/binance-acquire-coinmarketcap-com-400m-cash-stock-deal/

The acquisition doesn't make sense a lot of people for obvious reasons. Some are thinking that crypto market would enter into monopoly through acquisition. However, it will make sense if you know that CMC had enjoyed 207 million web traffic in last 6 months. Can you think the amount Binance would make if they can properly monetize this huge amount of traffic?

It's definitely a April fools day prank from CMC and a good one! But the way the world is moving towards during this COVID-19 pandemic, I wouldn't be surprised if a scammer decides to open a similar coin like Corona coin.

Happy all-fools-day folks! Have a good one!

I remember Atari since I was a kid and I was playing their video games.

I really trust this brand.

I really can't wait to see their crypto.

Atari is planning to enter the online crypto casino business so they are planning for two tokens along with an online casino.

Official announcement:
https://www.atari.com/iconic-atari%ef%b8%8f-properties-are-headed-to-the-revolutionary-blockchain-based-gaming-metaverse-the-sandbox/

The pre-sale is already live. It's indeed great to see such known brands are showing interest in crypto market. It will certainly increase the credibility of the "somewhat dead" ICO market!
3836  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Recognize bitcoin based on: March 31, 2020, 05:07:54 PM
How do i recognize if any coin is Bitcoin based?

If you are talking about the concept, then the entire crypto market is based on the concept of bitcoin. There are coins who have added extra features to the basic concept of bitcoin but bitcoin is the pioneer cryptocurrency.

But please specify what do you mean by "based on bitcoin". It will help us to provide "to-the-point" answer!
3837  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: SOS.BInance going to adquire coinmarketcap - END of decentralization and crypto on: March 31, 2020, 10:19:09 AM
Binance as an exchange already controlling a major chunk of the crypto market. If that is not termed as monopolization, then how come their acquisition of CMC can be termed as monopolization? Also how come it is an end of decentralized economy?

Your statement makes no sense! Rather, it shows that crypto market has grown into a serious business which is attracting millions dollar acquisition.
3838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can crypto gambling be provably fair to regulators? on: March 31, 2020, 06:27:42 AM
For a long time I was thinking that [fiat] online casinos are required to run licensed software just to ensure the players that they don't cheat, but then I understood that there's another side to it - casinos are traditionally a good spot for money laundering, so the government needs to be sure that the house doesn't create fake winnings for some players. As you know, the provably fair system guarantees that neither the player nor the house cheat, but when both the player and the house are the same entity, they know the result of the bet before it is made and can alter it.

Do you think it's possible to create a system where a third party can verify that the outcome of the bet wasn't known to any of the parties ahead of the time?

It's only possible if the offline casinos remove their slot machines and replace them with computer systems connected to one server. The physical slot machines can't be connected to a single network so desktop computers will be needed there. It will be very similar to the online casinos that we have today. Imagine the website as a physical casino floor where 10 computers are given to play Roulette and another 10 computers are given for blackjack and another 10 for Plinko. All of these systems are connected to a central server which ensures that the games are provably fair.

That doesn't look much feasible because majority of the players visit physical casinos for experience and relaxation. If this is implemented, casino floors will look more like a cyber cafe!
3839  Local / India / Re: Living on Crypto in India — A real life scenario on: March 31, 2020, 05:44:19 AM

Bitrefill seems very useful. I see a majority of the big brands are available in India. I have bookmarked it and once this lockdown situation is over, I will try the "Barbeque Nation" voucher. I will let people know about my experience here.

Since the crypto ban is lifted in India, I feel, we need a service like Bitpay in India, where people can order a prepaid visa card which can be used in any POS terminal in India. That will really help in adoption.

My recommendation:

- Don't put all your assets in Bitcoin. Buy gold, silver, solar panels, food, toilet paper. Keep some cash for emergency.

Come come solar panel is an asset? However, I agree to your approach which says - don't put all eggs in one basket. That's an wise approach in any market condition.

Quote
- If you fear your bank will close your account, use an EMI (Electronic Money Institution) as a middle man to buy crypto. There are many of them. Use them as a pass through, don't trust them with your money.

Banks won't fail. Governments will not let it fail. If banks fail in large numbers, there will be nothing left in the economy and social unrest will begin! However, it's good to invest a small percentage of your income into major cryptos like Bitcoin or ETH.

Quote
- Fiat is for exchanging, Bitcoin is for hodling, Satoshis are for spending

Nope! Not entirely true! If you are bullish about bitcoin, then HODLing can be a great option to create serious wealth over a longer period of time. But for spending, we need options to spend. That wouldn't happen unless governments around the world steps up with such decision. We only have handful of merchants who accept bitcoin. We need more adoption which can be fueled by government policies!

Don't look at bitcoin as a tool to become outlaw. Rather try for inclusion of bitcoin into the economy. That will make sense in longer term!
