3881  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any insurance service for gamblers to retain heavy losses....??? on: November 18, 2020, 10:41:43 PM
This is a thread that's been started by me years back. Once again I would like to take this into discussion, because more the existence of gambling sites more is the addiction. It is a must to make some innovative plans, so that the gamblers doesn't want to restrict themselves from gambling. Maybe this can help the gamblers as well as the dependent of the gamblers.

With this the printing of paper money will be gradually stopped, if people get used to it. This is nothing big, just a digital payments gateway. Already people are used to it, and people doesn't have a big positivity on this plan. It helps in ease of tracking and particularly there is no limitations as our bitcoin, and this makes the value manipulated as the State runs the complete network.

In one way it is a step forward towards digital era, but the implementation and the functioning needs to be done in a perfect manner. When this goes effective people will make use of bitcoin with more trust.
3883  Economy / Economics / Re: Can legalisation of Cannabis help US economy? on: November 16, 2020, 10:24:31 AM
This is the kind of idea which comes from people who want to destroy USA and see its demoralization and social collapse.
In no way legalization of cannabis will help anyone's economy. First because the *legal* cannabis will be more expensive than the *illegal* one, so the drug dealers will still exist and they will offer their product for a cheaper price. Second that with so many harmful effects to the brain, drugs users will need health assistance in the future, increasing the demand in health sector, what may force the government to spend more money on this sector to support these people. Third that by legalizing cannabis you are endorsing the usage of another drugs like crack (for the poorest ones), cocaine, heroine and so on... Increasement of homeless population may happen too.

Legalizing cannabis doesn't solve anything, it just creates another kinds of problems for the country.
And if you are still confident about how good this idea is, ask the enemies of USA to implement such thing on their country first, so we can have that as an practical example.

Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else...
Agreed, legalizing cannabis doesn't gonna help with the economy upliftment of any country. As said when it is legalized for the medical needs automatically the market value for the same will be placed high, which will surely make people to go through illegal or other means to get it cheaper.

Few states have legalized the usage of cannabis. Maybe the revenue can be stabilized with legalized cannabis. People gets affected and for cure they go in search of retreat centers.
3884  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What should I study to learn how to trade? on: November 16, 2020, 08:33:40 AM
Can someone point me to where I should begin?
And one more question: What is the minimum amount of money needed to start?
You should start from the base of buying low and selling high. This needs to be done with the top list altcoins having low price at the beginning. Every exchange have got their own minimum limits. At the beginning you need to focus on very small profit, which means you need to buy low and sell when there is small growth in the price. Maybe the profit will be very small, but through this only can learn better about trading.
3885  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Super-Expensive Bitcoin Cash Wristwatch on: November 16, 2020, 08:06:37 AM
The watch looks cool, but these wristwatches will serve as masterpieces of future when cryptocurrency adoption makes people use bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies same as that we use traditional fiat and card transactions.

These wristwatches having inbuilt wallet makes these watches close with the cryptocurrency. However these limited edition wristwatches will be bought by the rich ones and doesn't gonna make anything to the cryptocurrency market in terms of promotion.
3886  Economy / Economics / Re: Effective Covid-19 vaccine found on: November 16, 2020, 02:53:14 AM
Moderna vaccine is another vaccine as Pfizer is under late stage testing and trials. It also uses the same technology as Pfizer and is found to be highly effective. From the article came to know about 150 vaccines under development and around 44 under late stage trials. However these vaccines were tested on large number of participants. On the other hand once it is availed for usage the medical industry will bloom, because surely it'll be taken as a big business by governments than saving the lives of people.

Have anyone opened the chests received based on the level reached upon wagering. Myself opened the chest and received 0.00003 btc. I felt this to be one of the attractive and  cool element of bitsler, because if we're lucky we'll get big amounts. This also makes us go on continuous betting, and creates the mind to open more chests reaching new levels. Some might've got big wins out of it.
3889  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin movement launches its first limited edition streetware collection on: November 16, 2020, 01:14:38 AM
Just with the limited number of clothing units it tries to create demand for the collection. This isn't gonna get anything new to the cryptocurrency network. If it had a chain of stores placed on atleast 100 locations could have a small impact and might help with reaching people about the word bitcoin. Bitcoin adoption is something that happens as a result of usability. Here it is pure business in the name of bitcoin.
3890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Gang uses crypto for illegal purposes on: November 15, 2020, 05:25:47 PM
Plus if people wants to engage it's their personal preference not the fault of the on-line crypto casinos.
Engaging into gambling can be considered as ones own preference, but in each and every citizens life the government has got responsibility. Governments won't ban or restrict people from gambling without reason, everything has got reason. We have seen lot many into gambling addiction, but no one gets exposed same as that affected with drug addiction.

Governments try to find opportunity for large volume transactions. Even if it was under regulated and taxed money it'll be related to some form of business when the transaction is done cross border.
3891  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy Low, Sell High on: November 15, 2020, 02:36:13 PM
This is the true mentality of each and every cryptocurrency user, whenever the price drops low automatically people's mind wavers out of panic. This is the reason why people always avoid to buy when the market is low and tend to buy when the market is bullish. Most of the traders prefer to make small earning out of the marginal fluctuation, while the people preferring long term holding go for low price buying.
3892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Quantum Computer Will Destroy Bitcoin on: November 15, 2020, 12:58:10 PM
For simple understanding, Quantum computers are developed in such a state to perform tasks that weren't possible with the normal computers. As of now the quantum computers can breach the bitcoin network if there isn't no further update. With the present quantum computer it isn't possible to make anything or steal the private key with its power.

Atleast it requires another five to ten years of time to develop a quantum computer that can get into the bitcoin network, by then the bitcoin network will be much updated. Possibly quantum computers will be used in mining in the future.
3893  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price to reach $17k? on: November 15, 2020, 09:41:35 AM
Bitcoin wanted to retest $ 17000 but was unable to, the last resistance was at $ 16400,
and now it's down at $ 15900, this is scary for bitcoin price movements going forward,
whether bull or bear will win, we'll see.
It is up again.

It's back to $16000 again. That is usual and expected and am more into bullish.

That is an obvious pattern,imo.
The price seems to gain resistance slowly. As a result we're experiencing rise in the price of bitcoin with minor fluctuations making the price fall low to $16000 and crossing the same in a short time period. The market is perfectly bullish. Before someone takes the opportunity it is good to understand the market and try to keep hold of the cryptocurrencies without falling into panic.
3894  Economy / Economics / Re: Look like covid is over Once we take loans on: November 15, 2020, 07:15:46 AM
To stabilize the economy governments have been providing loans to create good circulation of money. This way the covid-19 is related to the governments act. Right now the sufferers were the people who are with need, but weren't able to request help to anyone. What has happened in the world isn't pure business, but some are making money out of the covid-19 crisis.
3895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Online Casinos on: November 15, 2020, 06:42:23 AM
Most people really want to gamble gambling, but we also know cryptocurency gambling is very interesting and unique. The main thing is fair play makes us even more addicted we can't avoid it anymore

That's correct mate, a lot of newcomers in crypto gambling sites became addicted to the games where the majority of them their ending is not good. In short, they've left nothing because most of their assets melted or lost in the games that's the reality most of the time happened in the gambling industry in cryptocurrency.
Whenever a newcomer gets into gambling he'll win out of luck, but the same makes them get addicted. At the beginning people never understand about the back effects of gambling. Everyone just focus on earning, and by the time if the gambler himself learn on strategies to stop and comeback after a short break will profit out of gambling.

The worst part is people create a mindset to recover the loss which is also a reason. As most users mentioned gambling with cryptocurrencies is something unique and makes the user enthusiastic than playing with the traditional online casinos with fiat.
3896  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much you earn in bounty hunting for the year 2019-2020 on: November 15, 2020, 12:56:37 AM
if all the project i've joined and successfully running or maybe at least have a value of 0.0001$ each token I could be a millionaire but since most of the bounty campaign and their tokens are worthless in my estimate value I think it's around $1000-$2000.
You're good with the earning out of bounties. It was the year 2017-2018 when each and every ICO token reached the peak in no time. Once again such a market condition could happen, everyone won't have the patience to hold for such a long time period without anything assured.

Considering the market of altcoins receiving $1000 - $2000 out of bounties is a big earning. A full member will get an pay of $40/week from a bitcoin paid signature campaign. If he gets into a campaign for 12 months what he earns is around $2100. Based on that what you've estimated with your bounty rewards is good.
3897  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Happens If China Bans Bitcoin Mining? on: November 14, 2020, 11:56:44 PM
Nothing will happen. Several times we've seen about the banning of bitcoin mining in China. At occasions on inspection about the disturbance in the economy bitcoin mining will be stated as a reason. Later the news fades, and mining won't be stopped by the government or the owners. Regularly there is more and more advanced mining equipments manufactured. China holding majority of the miners is also an advantage for them. If China goes against bitcoin mining, and people stops it automatically someone from other countries will take the chance and starts mining. So, at any cost the network won't get disturbed.

What's everyone's thoughts on Duelbits 2.0? Would love to hear more feedback

I like the darker theme, but the texts could see some brighter colors. For example, I have to squint just to make out the texts below:


The dark theme looks attractive, and all the required things are clearly visible. So, there is nothing much required anymore. Does the website is provided with the option of using light and dark themes. The site looks more like another reputed site stake.
3899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I accept Bitcoin for payments on my online store? on: November 14, 2020, 08:37:12 PM
Bitcoin acceptance into your business/online store is a much needed one, if you're in a country where cryptocurrency usage isn't banned/against the law. Right now more number of online stores providing different services have begun to accept cryptocurrencies. When we take note of the same, these services are availed within few countries. This means the adoption and acceptance level have grown high in those countries.

Everything that has got value can be used as an exchange asset. Here we've got bitcoin carrying value in it, so accepting it doesn't gonna get you into loss. Probably if your countrymen weren't aware of cryptocurrencies then you need to have patience as we're in the early days of cryptocurrency adoption.
3900  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could 2018 repeat itself? Price approaching 20K and high fees followed by crash on: November 14, 2020, 07:53:36 PM
Although the situation seems pretty much the same like in 2017 and 2018 circumstances are quite different. Although the price is on the rise we are still far away from 20k. Yes, the transaction fees are increasing too but to my opinion that is mainly due to price increase itself and the enlarged number of transactions.
I'm not saying that 20k is impossible but still it's s very lomg road to go.
The main problem that we will have in order to reach a new ATH will be that many traders will think ahead and know that surpassing that level at the first opportunity we have after 3 years is going to be very unlikely so they are going to sell close or at that level creating a strong reduction on the price, so I think we are going to see a very fierce battle between the bears and the bulls for the control of the market.

It seems to me there is enough strength on the market to go above the previous ATH since the growth that we have been experimenting has been very slow which means there is a lot of support and once we breakthrough the 20k level all bets will be off about how high the price can go.
I highly believe that to those people who had bought wayback in peak price or ATH had already long time sell off their bags to believe that we wont be seeing another chance to hit that level again

but it seems those people had already made out some mistake.Yeah, it did take a while yet its been 3 years after that event where we do able to hit the peak and now we are gradually reaching it once again.

Good thing for those who held for that long and sorry for those who sell on loss.

I believe also that most of those who bought at ATH way back in 2017, already cashed out. Because most of them have no strong foundation in crypto, they just bought it because of the hype. But for those few that patiently waited, they are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And this time, the rise is not owed to fud or hype, but real adoption among users, companies and institutions.
The previous bull market took place as a wave, because the growth happened all of the sudden in an unexpected moment. By the time people are into hard discussion about the price reaching $8000 & $10000. The price crossed $8000, then $10000 and keeps moving. Around $15000 it gained stability. Looking upon the growth more inflow of money happened and the same kept the market in pumping. This caused the price to cross $20000 and crash.

This time the growth is happening in a steady manner without much of major crash in between. Today the market has crashed down to $16000, and this looks there is lack of stability above $16000.
