4261  Economy / Economics / Re: Your opinion on side jobs on: February 23, 2022, 11:58:18 PM
It could be anything, or whichever you prefer to call it. I have 3 jobs that I'm doing yet I am full time on one position, working for 40 hrs a week. The others are random jobs that I can do on my free time and they make good money, sometimes even comparable to my full time work. I don't really place any such categories on them except on the time that I spend doing them, and that's it. I prioritize my full time work because I see a possible career growth whereas on my other jobs, they are on demand and may or may not really stay for the long term, even if they make me good money short term.
4262  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: Does Warren Buffet change his mind? on: February 23, 2022, 10:55:05 PM
Perhaps not. He only wanted the profits and not really the tech and ideology. Knowing how he expanded his empire, he's probably just using the hype and all the attention bitcoin has been receiving to maximize his profits. He's still a solid fiat slave and will probably be pushing for government to take over on almost all things since he's received solid backing from them to expand his business, too. I wouldn't trust him to be as accepting to bitcoin as he is to gold or stocks, not unless he bought his own coins and not manage or buy companies that are only related to bitcoin.
4263  Economy / Economics / Re: What economic sanctions will US impose on Russia on: February 19, 2022, 10:28:18 PM
There isn't much to impose, and this is just the US flexing its muscles to Russia in an event of an invasion. They are not going to do anything, and if they did, it might send us ever closer to WW3. The US may restrict some imports to Russia, but the latter can just easily buy from someone else and the sanction is useless. Whatever type of sanction that is, Russia wouldn't flinch that's for sure. If there's a country Russia fears, it's certainly not the US because they know that the US will not do anything rash or serious.
4264  Economy / Economics / Re: People over 65 having most of wealth in US on: February 19, 2022, 08:45:03 PM
Well they worked hard for it at the least, so it's not really that much of a shocker to know that they are the group that holds majority of the wealth in the country. Soon, those assets will be transferred to their family, perhaps someone younger than them, and the wealth transfer continues. Crypto gave a chance to the younger generation to amass wealth early on and be expert investors at a young age. Give it a few years and those new money will grow old too, and becomes part of the statistic of old people owning most of the wealth in the US.
4265  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A peculiar Response to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on: February 19, 2022, 08:08:25 PM
That last part tho, certainly something that's worth praising for. Cheesy

The Canadian government's authoritarian stance has been unmasked by how they are ordering anything related to crypto to divulge information of its users and freeze their assets just to prevent a group of people receiving donations to them. Trudeau is a wanker, and should be replaced by someone competent that won't do stupid things just because their ego is stepped on.
4266  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia gives in and considers accepting bitcoin exchange on: February 18, 2022, 10:55:30 PM
It's almost as if they are trying to compete against Ukraine at this point on who's going to be the country wherein Eastern Russia can do their business with when it comes to cryptocurrencies. Russia has a somewhat huge population of cryptocurrency users, and knowing the economic situations of the said country, it really is a smart move for them to just give in and accept that crypto is inevitable, and that people will soon catch up to it and that they just have to build and plan ahead before the massive surge.
4267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I can't access a casino while my country isn't got blacklisted? on: February 18, 2022, 10:17:17 PM
Perhaps your ISP blocks your access to the site. Try to check that with your provider and see if that's the case. If your country has no standing bans on gambling platforms, you should be able to access it. Have you tried accessing it using mobile data connection though? But I doubt it's on the internet connection. Better check the ToS of the platform since some platform blocks certain countries on their servers.
4268  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador positions itself as the first Bitcoin city at Expo2020 in Dubai on: February 18, 2022, 08:06:15 PM
It is an ambitious project, and certainly something that is not easily achievable, but if they have the vision to do it, they will certainly do everything to make it a realization. El Salvador has been praised and criticized for their decision in adopting bitcoin as a legal tender in the country, but so far it seems that that decision helped them gain recognition for their country that can soon help them boost their economy as well.

I haven't seen any roulette of such kind that you are describing, or I haven't been searching at all since my games are confined to dice. But if there's anything that comes up, sure enough people would be quick to advertise it as if it's the next best thing since sliced bread.

I have an idea for you about Live-Roulette, honestly I have a very honest experience on the site (ROLLBIT) about the Live-Roulette game, see the image below, if you are interested.



Notes:
Gambling at your own risk to lose and win, consider wisely and carefully before going any further.

I think I've seen this site layout before but can't tell where. Can you give more insights about this platform? Seems like a lot of live roulette games that I can enjoy.
4270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: February 18, 2022, 10:24:32 AM
Do you see the new Ferrari? I really like this new F1 car made for Ferrari, The only thing i have to note its was when the pilots say any like-
"Yes, its beautifull and we hope fast in the race". But they said this like no much hope, or may or may they are oculting some

Anyways. i think Ferrari this year its back on top 3 and can fight for race wins.

We can't say it until we see how well the new machine performs. Every year, Ferrari and other teams are saying that their cars are better than ever, only to show lackluster performances even on qualifying rounds. Ferrari is, no doubt, one of the top performing cars in F1 with the right driver, but it still lags behind Mercedes and Red Bull, and most recently, behind McLaren and Alpine albeit being one of the top 3 just the past few years. We'll see it when we see it, and right now I'm not confident that Ferrari can comfortably take top 3 right now.
4271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really censorship-resistent if they can't reach Canadian truckers on: February 17, 2022, 11:49:42 PM
Canadian truckers can still get their bitcoins and exchange them to fiat outside of Canada if they want, or some group supporting their cause can buy those coins OTC and their problems are essentially gone. The government can only send orders to banks to not allow any fund (fiat) transfers to known accounts of the truckers, but even then the banks and exchanges can still wish to choose whether they cater to these requests or not. The government is playing as the bullies here in this case, and no matter what, those coins and funds will still reach the truckers if those holding the funds wishes to direct the funds to them.
4272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: JPMorgan Is the First Bank Into the Metaverse, Looks at Business Opportunities on: February 17, 2022, 11:24:22 PM
Funny how JPMorgan has been throwing rocks at bitcoin for years, saying it's not secure, a waste of time, and not valuable in the long run, yet buys in to a project in the metaverse that doesn't have any guarantees of taking off, or even staying in the long term. Then again, whatever their choices are theirs to bear. They can't come in to bitcoin any more since a lot other entities have bigger share of the pie. They want to be the first movers, the giants of the industry, which they can't do anymore, hence why they divert their investments to other things which they can still act like they're important.
4273  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ukraine Just Legalized Bitcoin on: February 17, 2022, 10:30:01 PM
First Russia adopted crypto and announced to make it legal and now the Ukraine did the same. Both of these countries are at the verge of war against each other.
Though it makes no sense but still i wonder if the tense situation in both countries is the triggering point for the adoption of bitcoin?

Probably not about the current situation on their borders, but bitcoin could be useful to these countries should they face economic hardships when war is expending more resources than they should, especially Ukraine since their currency is somewhat weak, and their citizens could use bitcoin and crypto to survive. Right now, Ukraine has taken a positive step that favors them somewhat, and places them in an advantageous position in the future.
4274  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will be accepted for tax payments in Colorado on: February 17, 2022, 05:14:29 PM
I don't see people using bitcoin to pay their taxes, but it's great that they are opening that option for people should they want to try another route for payments. As for their plan on instantly selling bitcoins the moment they receive it, I guess it will not have an adverse effect on the market, as the volume of payments made through this route would be low for sure. Overall though, being able to pay your taxes with bitcoin is a cool thing, though we all know that not everyone will part ways with their bitcoin just to pay taxes.
4275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not a safe haven for criminals on: February 16, 2022, 10:40:55 PM
It's amazing how the Feds can get to the bottom of all these crypto heists and frauds yet cannot solve large-scale money laundering done on USD. It's as if they're choosing which currencies will they work on and scream to the world that they're the best at what they do. Anyway, with the recent bust on the $3.5B heist, this will make criminals have second thoughts on whether they should use crypto or not to launder their money. Knowing that the FBI has tools to track them, I doubt they will still prefer crypto after all.
4276  Economy / Economics / Re: UK makes first seizure of NFTs in tax crackdown ($ 1.9 million fraud) on: February 16, 2022, 08:52:14 PM
NFTs before it became the hype of the year is good. Some awesome projects and creations were out and about, until it was plagued by nefarious people trying to use it to launder money and do illicit things. Some fresh ideas came out when NFTs were new, but it became stale after a while since people are trying to sell almost anything. The space isn't developing and money launderers have been flocking the market like ants finding food, and I think it's justified if regulations are to be put in place to protect people for their money.
4277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The most reliable coin to invest in is Bitcoin. on: February 16, 2022, 06:30:06 PM
Some people are better off investing in alts, too, and they are the ones who leverage from bitcoin going so far down and snagging some coins that perform on that same time period. If you're not the type of guy that analyzes everything in order to get quick gains, investing in bitcoin and keeping them as is for a long time is the way to go, as what others here have done so far. It's lazy and straight to the point, but it works.
4278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: February 16, 2022, 05:43:26 PM
Today is the start of another game and competition which is the BTS Pro Series and recently we saw that one of the top tier players in the SEA, the TNC change their rooster and now their members are available and now distributed into different teams. Armel goes to Fnatic with Raven, Tims goes to the Boom e-sports, Gabbi now is one of the members in the T1 I can see now a good fight, currently, of course Boom and T1 are one of the best in the series hoping that T1 will get this match.

These guys know how each other play, given that they stayed in the same team for over a year. Sure enough they will be getting a lot of information on the plays of each player right even before the match starts. Gabbi on T1, as I've said before, is a good synergy with Xepher's early aggressive rotations. Whitemon on the pos 5 is also usually aggressive, which matches Gabbi's carry playstyle. Armel on Fnatic with Raven might be a strong core combination with Armel's great mid rotation under min 10, but it still depends highly on the supports.
4279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the objective of bitcoin redirected? on: February 15, 2022, 11:00:26 PM
Its utility as a payments system is not really redirected or removed from its core, it's just that people found some other uses for bitcoin and I guess that is fine. Also, bitcoin originally wants you to "be your own bank," so I guess keeping your money on bitcoin, and letting it accrue profit over time still embodies bitcoin's objective partly. It's still alive, it's just payments is not really the priority for most people right now because they are profiting from bitcoin.
4280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake Wagered $1.3 million in super bowl bet using bitcoin on: February 15, 2022, 10:20:58 PM
Possible that Stake paid Drake in order to post the slip on Twitter, but knowing Drake's gambling habits, it's not entirely unbelievable for him to place such a huge bet amount using bitcoin. Then again, what's suspicious about this is that most of his bets were on Stake, not only on the sports category but also on other games hosted by the platform. It's sneaky and also deceptive if ever, but legally there's nothing wrong if he didn't disclose it as an ad (I stand corrected on the legal part.)
