4241  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: April 07, 2022, 09:57:23 PM

Yes exactly. Even if we remove the If conditions from this loop we still have the approximate value residing at 0.0014 BTC.
I hardly think one would want to take up the hassle just to get approximately 0.0004 BTC extra which is around $17 as per current price.

What is 17$ right now, can become 170$ over time also lol. I used in the past a couple of times the 1000% BTC bonus when I had a lot of time, but currently also just stacking up some reward points until we reach the magical limit of 100,000 to convert them.
Bitcoin can skyrocket 10x yet, that is true, but keep in mind the spare time you would need to claim those extra 17$ from the faucet, you could use to make much more than 17$ from another sources and then use those funds to invest in btc until it rises x10 futurely.

Between exchanging 100,000 RPs for 0.001 btc instantly and exchanging 100,000 RPs for 0.0014 btc in 100 days of constant presence on the site for several hours daily, I think there is no doubt of which is the most cost and time benefical one...

What do you think about this initiative??
Are you going to sign up ??
Every initiatives which involve passing knowledge ahead are totally positive and worthful. Glad we have wide access to internet nowadays where people can learn almost anything through online videos and lessons. Besides this online course provided by OnlineGambling, enthusiasts can also learn a lot on youtube or at google.

For now I'm not going to sign up, because dedication and spare time is needed in order to absorb all the content provided and I fear I'm not in conditions of doing this at this moment. But I would like to hear reviews and feedbacks from people who are going to take part on this course.
4243  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any thoughts of Stormgain cloud mining? on: April 07, 2022, 06:27:28 PM
All cloud mining companies want to take advantage of you. Even if they are legit they will make you take all the risk, like that legit company in Iceland was doing. They had their TOS written in a way that allowed them to stop paying you and liquidate your contract when it became unprofitable, so if you paid x USD for a 2 year contract and 1 year later difficulty suddenly rose so much that you weren't making money, they were cancelling the contract and did not have to bother with you for another year, while keeping the money.
Oh, so true. It's a long time since I heared about cloud mining for the last time, but I remember the negative experiences you mentioned above from many investors. People thought they would have lifetime passive income by investing on cloud mining, but they were never able to recover the initial invested amount in hash through mining income. Day after day, week after week and month after month interest kept decreasing until reaching to zero.

Being lucky, I think they could recover 70% of the investment, although some claimed it to be profitable anyway (in dollar rates), due to btc pumps meanwhile.

Most popular one was Genesis Mining. It seems the platform is still alive, but people don't talk about it anymore. I suppose it's a really unpopular service right now.
4244  Economy / Gambling / Re: Do you want to be an admin of an online casino? on: April 06, 2022, 10:50:10 PM
Hi guys, general cost is 0.5 btc, with just 0.01 you will receive a commission of 0.0005 btc per month, that is 5%.
Post your offer on my telegram and we can verify good conditions of partnerships, we accept any proposal.

minimum bid is 0.001 btc and maximum is 0.10 btc

My telegram is @cont_luizxind

I am available to clarify any doubts.
When investing, people expect it to be profitable, otherwise it makes no sense to start the investment.

You are asking for 0.01 btc with returns of 0.0005 btc per month. In other words, it will take 20 months for this investor to recover the investment.

It's a risky deal, because the investor will have to give 100% of this money and only after those 20 months the initial sum of money will be recovered on his hands. Meanwhile, there are another investment alternatives on the market, including the well known casino bankroll investment, where investors don't need to pay a fee or buy an admin position to start receiving interest over their funds, which can be entirely withdrawn at any time, plus interest generated.

I think this approach would be more interesting for you as a casino owner trying to increase your bankroll.
4245  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any thoughts of Stormgain cloud mining? on: April 06, 2022, 09:09:27 PM
There isn't any cloud mining on this, it seems. It's more like a marketing strategy from Stormgain wallet and exchange to bring users to the platform.

Free users can hit a button every 4 hours in order to claim daily a reward up to 960 satoshis of bitcoin (around 42 cents of dollar). Monthly, it's possible to claim 12$ dollars in btc considering currently rates, accordingly to the platform.

Minimum withdrawal is 10$, but pay attention! Not possible to cashout to an external wallet! Instead, you have to use these funds inside the platform to trade, and once you make profit from your trading activity you can finally withdraw the money from Stormgain.

To increase rewards from the "cloud mining" claimable every 4 hours (seems more like a faucet), you have to raise your trading monthly volume. Just to have an idea, to raise daily rewards from 42 cents to 84 cents, you must have a monthly trading volume of 150,000$! Shocked

Lvl 1 (free users): 0,42$;
Lvl 2 (150,000$): 0,84$;
Lvl 3 (750,000$): 2,52$;
Lvl 4 (2,500,000$): 10,10$;
Lvl 5 (7,500,000$): 32,00$;
Lvl 6 (15,000,000$): 72,40$;
Lvl 7 (75,000,000$): 446,38$.

Rewards' values in usdt fluctuate in real time.

After all I conclude it's a "greek gift".
4246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will "hyperbitcoinization" become a reality? on: April 06, 2022, 07:35:41 PM
I don't see it happening. It is possible if the majority of the population was using bitcoin for their purchases but they are not doing that. They use their credit cards instead. Stocks and other investments also still dominating finance.Blockchain infrastructure isn't making things easier neither. It is safe yes but it comes with a price. It is expensive and slow...

That's because most people only see Bitcoin as an investment rather than a currency for day-to-day purchases. But I believe that will change in the future, as governments embrace Bitcoin in every way. El Salvador was the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, with many more to follow suit (hopefully) as the pioneer cryptocurrency becomes more popular worldwide. I wouldn't say Bitcoin is expensive and slow since we already have a scaling solution dubbed "The Lightning Network". For mainstream payments, the LN works like a charm. With instant transactions and dirt-cheap fees, Bitcoin can reach the masses like never before.

What's really stopping "hyperbitcoinization" from become a reality is the Fiat standard. Since most of the things are valued in Fiat, Bitcoin's price fluctuates like crazy on the market. Only a collapse in the current monetary system powered by central banks and governments alike will push us forward towards the complete decentralization of the global economy. The chances of this happening are very slim, but anything's possible. Who knows what the future of Bitcoin will look like? Just my thoughts Grin
We have El Salvador example as a first experiment of a government endorsing and incentivizing bitcoin adoption, although the results aren't satisfactory.

Even though bitcoin has become legal tender there, most people still don't adopt it for real. They have just claimed the 30$ btc giveaway and most probably converted it to dollar currency in order to use the money, abandoning bitcoin from that moment on.

As we can see, friendly crypto governments aren't enough to push adoption upside in large scale. The situation is more complex than that, at same time it summarizes in lack of interest from common citizens for bitcoin.

Taking this into consideration, I don't see bitcoin replacing fiat in daily life for the next few decades. Only future generations can develop a new mindset which will allow them to see bitcoin's potential on their routine as main exchanging tool for goods and services.

Lol, even ponzi schemes have communities which are useful to make the advertisement, create hype, refer more investors and consequently make the scheme last longer, but inevitably on long run it fails, just like meme coins.

Shiba inu doesn't have any feature, usage or development which could differentiate it from another altcoins, so it's useless! And like any other useless currency it will be dumped, lose influence and community support as the time goes by, while the main trusted cryptocurrencies will keep rising.
4248  Economy / Speculation / Re: Billionaire Says Bitcoin May Significantly Exceed Its Previous 2022 Goals on: April 06, 2022, 05:55:31 PM
When traditional economies and markets become unstable it's the perfect time to enter crypto market, mostly aiming bitcoin investment as main focus, always. We've seen this during covid pandemic and now with the war this scenario might repeat itself, bringing a pretty decent volume of funds to cryptocurrency again.

If dollar keeps losing strength and value, it's almost sure bitcoin will be benefited, because it will become the plan B for many investors, especially those who cashed out their funds from crypto to invest in traditional american markets after the announcement FED would be raising interest rates this year.
What i see is that those billionaire might losing their wealth pretty soon due the careless investment in cryptocurrency , they think simply looking at those fundamentals are enough to determine where is crypto heading .. that is a fatal analysis especially with the metaverse hype .. the NFT hype etc .. everyone get misguided at the same time to the same basket and that's a disaster to our community.

i won't really surprised if we might seeing a lot of ex-billionaire in the next few years lol.
For billionaires putting their eggs on hyped crypto baskets such as metaverse there are serious chances they are going to lose money, indeed.

Anyway, that would be a foolish move, because billionaires can have access to the best and most professional financial advisors and managers, who have knowledge to execute methods and strategies to maximize the profitability chances, while decreasing the risks of loss.

I believe no serious professionals would advise investments in hyped projects with large sums of money.
4249  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel if satoshi back on: April 04, 2022, 11:18:17 PM
In my opinion there are zero chances he is coming back. What he should done has been already done by him before disappearing: mission accomplished!

But just for speculative purposes, let's say Satoshi came back, revealed and proved his identity. We would see every news vehicles reporting it, several businessmen, governments and celebrities approaching him for partnetships and also a lot of FUD among investors regards the future of bitcoin's value and adoption, although I risk saying bitcoin wouldn't be affected negatively anyway since Satoshi kept his wallet and the fortune inside untouched.
4250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto.com as Sponsor's for FIFA World Cup on: April 04, 2022, 10:48:25 PM
An exchange sponsoring the the FIFA world cup is quite a big marketing strategy and crypto.com have sponsored quite a good number of world event just as a way of promoting and support for the football games.
Two things on it, they're supporting the sports and they really are using these sports to market their exchange.

But just as the others mentioned in the past pages of this thread, crypto.com didn't win the FIFA world cup to be the big sponsor that they've planned to be.

The company that has won it is BYJU's, an Indian company. They're the official big sponsor for the FIFA World Cup.

Link: https://sports.ndtv.com/football/byjus-announced-as-official-sponsor-of-fifa-world-cup-2022-2840618
I don't understand this, because the article doesn't mention anything that could lead me to conclude the deal with Crypto.com was aborted. That is the only thing said there:

Quote
The news comes after FIFA announced on Tuesday that it had entered into a sponsorship agreement with Singapore-based company Crypto.com for the World Cup.

It looks like Crypto.com still has a sponsorship agreement with FIFA, or am I understanding it wrongly?

Moreover, every news combining the keywords Crypto.com and FIFA I've found on google displays results talking about the successful sponsorship, varying from one to two weeks ago (last results).

Maybe Crypto.com brand won't be so evident like some other sponsors, but they will be there anyway and it will be really exciting for crypto enthusiasts!
4251  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You don't need to hodl a particular coin all your life on: April 04, 2022, 10:29:39 PM
I have loss many of my profit just for holding the coin when they were up and just sold them when they were at the low price, this is my biggest fall in the trading strategies because I didn't have a habit of holding the token for most of the time and I sell them when I need money or when I get frightened about losing the money in that coin which leads me towards the loss in these particular coin.

This is a lesson that we have to sell at least what we bought, for example we buy a coin with a price of $ 500 then the price skyrockets to $ 1000 then the best thing is to immediately sell half of it to get our money back, this is to ensure that when the price dips then we don't lose money our.
That is a good strategy, but also keep in mind to cashout money back to fiat to save it at a bank account isn't a good idea, because the longer you hold your funds in fiat, the less purchasing power you will have due to growing inflation.

Fiat must be used for purchases, invested on something or exchanged into trustful cryptocurrencies. Avoid holding it at all costs!

And when investing in bitcoin you don't have to worry about cashing out too fast, because on long run the price is rising imposingly.

4253  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Drake became partners of the Stake Casino on: April 04, 2022, 09:35:32 PM
In short, its a win win situation for both Stake,Drake and Crypto exposure in overall but the sad fact that gamblers who do involved on the activity will surely be losing up money but lets just accept the reality.

In partnerships then there would be always that mutual benefit which is something not surprising.Stake wont be spending up big on partnerships into someone without any gains or benefits to get.

and since Drake is a popular celeb then expect that exposure for the Casino would really getting high which means it would be having more revenue.
Most gamblers will lose money and that is unavoidable in gambling, and that is why together with every advertisements related to betting, many countries enforce regulations to make sure casinos add a warning message telling people to bet moderately, to understand the risks before start playing, to only bet money they can afford to lose and so on...

Since the potential risks are sound and clear to everyone, I think in nothing the partnership with celebrities in gambling will be negative for the public.
4254  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 30% tax on crypto income in INDIA on: April 04, 2022, 05:43:30 PM
2. You move countries.
Best alternative without any doubts, otherwise there will be a lot of pain, suffering and deception living in a country which has no respect and consideration for crypto adopters, who are leading the country to the future of finances.

If the government acts with iron fists, it's because most citizens accept anything that is imposed to them. So for that minority who doesn't want to pay the price for the omission and apathy of the majority, the option is to leave to a country where their demands will be supplied.

Indian government should be concerned in stopping altcoins' scams and ponzi schemes on their territory instead of punishing every crypto enthusiasts with abusive taxes.
4255  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Axie Infinity’s $615 million crypto hack on: April 04, 2022, 05:29:26 PM
Fortunatelly some funds were moved to FTX, Huobi and Crypto.com. If the accounts which received the funds on those platforms are verified, it will be possible to find potential responsible people for the theft.

However, it's just a possibility, because hackers could have sent part of the funds to random addresses from centralized exchanges to mislead investigations reaching the real authors of this crime.

Important to notice biggest part of the stolen funds remain untouched.
4256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ FIFA World Cup 2022: Qualifying Games For Qatar on: April 03, 2022, 09:23:41 PM
Very juicy odds are given by bookmakers on Canada's win against Panama - 2.1... I think I can take this chance! I think Canada will win without any problems... The second interesting match is Costa Rica vs USA. The odds are 2.25 to win the USA... Of course I'm not sure if the USA is the clear favorite here, but I'll try to place a multi bet on the win of Canada and the USA... Wink
...

My guesses would be
Panama vs Canada: draw @3.0
Costa Rica vs USA: win USA @2.15
I just realized above post was in the wrong thread (UEFA qualifiers), so I'll continue here instead Smiley

Ok, so that was a disaster.  Roll Eyes
Panama beat Canada 1-0 and Costa Rica beat the USA 2-0. Also Mexico won, but as expected the final ranking was not affected at all.

Canada, Mexico and the USA are qualified, then in June Costa Rica will play New Zealand for one of the last remaining spots. Costa Rica will be the favorite here, New Zealand is a relatively weak team.

I actually like the group US got into.  Be nice if Wales doesn't make it they are a pretty strong club.  No matter the bracket US will always struggle to escape from the group stages.  They are getting better but no where close to competing at the highest level.  I'm sure englad was happy to see the US squad in their bracket
I think USA had a very impressive performance on qualifiers stage side by side with Canada, and were lucky by entering this group, which gives them total conditions to pass next phase with England, the favorite one from the group.

Opposite to olympic games, world cup is always a big challenge for US since the first stage, but I hope they are able to make it till quarter finals this time (or maybe Canada which can also represent north america on the competition)...

We have different search engine which is google is one of the most used because of the security and other feature on it this search engine can give you the details, information or data you want in just  one click and by that you can learn a lot with it but now there's a lot of advertisement like for example gambling you search in google and of course there's a lot of ads related to gambling and other of them are just a scam websites. So while learning always take care and manage every link you click in the internet world.
Google is the most popular search engine among others and also, if people install Chrome, they will automatically be directed to use Google as their default search engine. So if he can search using Google or any other search engine, at least he will find the answer he wants and he can also choose which one he is looking for and filter it if he doesn't want it. I guess learning by doing is all he needs to get more info he wants.
In this case Google is the best tool to find the meaning of terms, expressions and abbreviations with practical examples regards gambling industry. This way it will be much simpler and easier for him to understand than looking at this forum gambling section's threads, because the discussions here are oriented to people who are familiar with the industry already, what isn't OP's case. Moreover, basic information like the one he is looking for won't be found in bitcointalk forum anyway.
4258  Economy / Gambling / Re: how to choose best Gambling website for Gambling ? on: April 03, 2022, 02:18:40 PM
Higher the RTP better chance to be for the gambler as I think. So, while using a site for gambling it will be better for us if we check and compare RTP. But all time we should not follow only the RTP as scammer may give higher RTP but we have to avoid them at any cost. Otherwise we have to loss our fund for the scammer.
It's important to check RTP of every slot-machine's games before start playing. It's recommended to play at slots which offer RTP rates above 95% and even better if you can find at 98%, in order to maximize profitability chances during your gambling session.

Anyway, it's necessary to highlight on long run it doesn't make difference at all, because the house is unbeatable due to its slight percentage advantage, known as house edge.
4259  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia wants to build a new world order with China on: April 03, 2022, 01:51:07 PM
This is a great April fool's joke, IMO. Russia wasn't a big economy before the war, and now it's only getting worse.
True, but they compensate economical weakness with military strength, which is abundant in Russia. That is the way to conquer new territories and develop economy.

Sanctions have affected Russian economy significantly, and you can look at ruble's value, at Russian YouTube videos about the prices in supermarkets, at the very least, to see how it's going. And sanctions aren't over, new packages are being prepared all the time.
Hopefully this can slow down Russia on long run, however nothing is certain yet, because the more precarious the local economy becomes, more threatening and desperate Russia will be to the world following the "kamikazi" style.

As for China, it's a strong economy, but it's heavily based on a difficult interdependence of China and Western countries. And the US already had a talk with China, reaching a level of understanding that China isn't to help Russia evade the sanctions if it doesn't want harsh consequences.
Also, China isn't a fan of brute force, not really. They prefer the economic and political wars with the West, not outright invading sovereign nations like Russia decided to do, and China is somewhat competing for influence with Russia in the region, so their interests aren't fully aligned. So this new order, thankfully, won't happen.
You are right, but it doesn't mean China can't become aggressive at some point. China has this stance towards the world mentioned by you because it's the most interesting and profitable thing to do for now. But if they glimpse there is a good chance to enslave another nations, just like they do with their own people, they are going for it, without any doubts.

Russia and China are united by tyrannical ties and will only turn against each other once the free countries are under their domain.

I hope this new order doesn't happen, although it's a fact the intention in achieving this exist.
4260  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's preventing bitcoin from worldwide adoption? on: April 03, 2022, 12:17:49 PM
Only one reason prevent people from adopting bitcoin: lack of curiosity and interest from average citizens for it.

Bitcoin is accessible to anyone since they have a mobile or desktop device with internet connection. Consequently, there aren't excuses to avoid bitcoin.

There are challenges, risks and dangers in crypto environment, like everywhere else. People just need to be careful and take care themselves on this universe, like they do on the streets, on their jobs, at the bank and so on... Scammers, regulations, volatility, misleading informations are part of our daily life and traditional fiat system. Still, you don't see people stopping dealing with fiat for these reasons, so why would they avoid bitcoin for the same reasons?
