4301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I am fed up with scammers and newbies. on: February 29, 2020, 05:50:33 PM
If someone falls for this kind of stupid scams, then I am sorry to say, they deserve to get scammed. At least they won't be greedy or quick to jump into a fishy offer in the future. They will think twice before claiming such offers.
It may sound stupid for us who are already in this space long enough, but not for newbies because a 50% discount is typical to celebrate holidays for various goods and services. That said, these scammers are criminals who prevent cryptocurrencies from being widely used by everyday people. There is a strong probability that the victims wouldn't touch crypto anymore, and they could spread negative things about cryptocurrencies. This situation is terrible for everyone except for the scumbags.

If it's not useful, I don't think even a join project with all coins combined would do any good. They are all just speculation assets at this point.

Anyway, I want to see Bitcoin used in casual mobile games like FarmVille, etc., and used directly as in-game currency. For example, new accounts get free 500 satoshis to buy seed and then grow the crops, sell it, and earn more satoshis. Anything you can imagine, with balanced gameplay, of course, so not many people will get rich because of this game Grin

I don't think you can control your luck in a pure game of chance. You could, however, increase your luck in skilled games or anything that involves skill, for example:
- Study hard -> +10% luck
- Work hard -> +10% luck
- Exercises -> +10% luck

However, even if you control everything, you couldn't get a 100% probability of success or a 100% luck.

Kalau sudah PT biasanya langsung pakai TDP, agak janggal kalau PT kok pakainya NIB. By the way, modus tipu-tipu sekarang banyak yang pakai "telah terdaftar dengan NIB xxx" yang susah mengkonfirmasinya.

Plus kalau menyediakan jasa fintech, AFAIK, perusahaan harus terdaftar di OJK.

Kalau sekilas proyek ini banyak red-flagnya, namun ane tidak punya waktu untuk menginvestigasi. Kalau mau ikutan, DYOR & DWYOR.
4306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you borrow money as your bankroll if you trust your skills in gambling? on: February 25, 2020, 03:47:08 PM
I am currently thinking of making an experiment on my own, I have friends who are willing to lend me money for whatever purpose I like.
For this purpose, I like to use the money that I will borrow as the bankroll in sports gambling.
Fuckin hell... Dude, that doesn't mean you don't have to return the money! This is typical of loan sharks since they only care about money in and out, not about the purpose.

Just be careful since you might have to pay your debt with one of your kidneys.
4307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wilder vs. Fury II: The Rematch is On on: February 25, 2020, 03:41:03 PM
I am not seeing him winning in the 3rd fight, not even split decision if it goes to 12 rounds.
If Wilder is smart he will fight others and then build up his resume once again and then call out Fury again, but i am also not expecting anything different if Fury and Wilder are to fight again.
Dude... Wilder lost his title, and the closest opportunity to getting it back is via this rematch. No sane boxer would miss this kind of opportunity, no matter how outclassed they were.

If Wilder loses again in the 3rd fight, I don't think he would wear the "champ" belt for quite some time since Fury would move to the next opponent.
4308  Economy / Economics / Re: In the past where taxes were honoured ~ on: February 25, 2020, 03:31:55 PM
if we trace indeed between zakat and tax have the same goal, namely to prosper others, and help our brothers in need. it's just that the system used is different, taxes are coercive, if they don't obey they get a fine, but if taxes grow from the heart
Well, in history, people get slaughtered because they refuse to pay Zakat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakat#Failure_to_pay

It's obligatory by the way,

Quote
Islam has five primary obligations, or pillars of faith, that each Muslim must fulfill in his or her lifetime. They are as follows:

...

Zakat, almsgiving, is the third pillar. Social responsibility is considered part of one's service to God; the obligatory act of zakat enshrines this duty. Zakat prescribes payment of fixed proportions of a Muslim's possessions for the welfare of the entire community and in particular for its neediest members. It is equal to 2.5 percent of an individual's total net worth, excluding obligations and family expenses.
Source: https://www.saudiembassy.net/five-pillars-islam

Kindly go to Politics and Society board if you want to discuss more about this.



There are two sides of human, x and y, push and pull, good and evil, yin and yang, etc., you cannot embrace one side and completely neglect the other. Some people want to feel good/right by voluntarily paying taxes, however, some will not.
4309  Economy / Economics / Re: Amazon to accept bitcoin payments directly... the real breakthrough!? on: February 25, 2020, 02:30:51 PM
This article might be interesting for you. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/company-insights/090216/when-will-amazon-accept-bitcoin-amzn.asp

tl;dr
You could still purchase Amazon gift cards with Bitcoin and use it. So it's pretty much buying with Bitcoin. Since there are companies that were already doing this, I don't think reinventing the wheel would be a breakthrough.

Surely this would be the moment which would solidify mass adoption of the currency?
Let's put the browser extension aside, Amazon accepting Bitcoin would be good for the ecosystem. But, IMO we need more than that. We need everyone, and every major retailer to accept Bitcoin.
4310  Economy / Economics / Re: How to stop the world recession that is soon coming. on: February 24, 2020, 04:28:28 PM
There are many ways to deal with a recession. One of them is by saving money when the economy was good and then spend it in the recession (this is Austrian if I'm not mistaken). Or by using loose government policies (Keynesian).

You might find this article interesting since it is from Friedman's point of view. https://fee.org/articles/the-great-depression-according-to-milton-friedman/
4311  Economy / Economics / Re: In the past where taxes were honoured ~ on: February 24, 2020, 04:08:00 PM
I never heard of it, but my guess is it's a voluntaryism utopia. Or if it's real, then it must involve some God/belief. I think the old Jewish and Arab communities have tithe or zakat. These kinds of donations could be considered as tax.
4312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering Contests on: February 24, 2020, 03:35:49 PM
I once participated in this kind of contest.
I found that the safest strategy is to bet with the smallest possible (minimum bet) and the highest winning chance for the newbies to feel the competition. However, depending on the number of participants (and how rich they are), you might not move up that fast on the leaderboard. You could raise your bet if you feel comfortable already. Then, do the auto-bet non-stop.

Disclaimer: even with the highest winning chance, you could lose badly if you wager a high amount of money. This is not gambling advice, just for the sake of discussion.

You could try this method on Wolf race *paid advertisement detected* Grin
4313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling or Casino gambling? on: February 24, 2020, 08:24:30 AM
Dude, it's like going to the cinema or watching the NetFlix. It's a different experience. Also, it depends on where you live since gambling in land casinos is very expensive if you include transportations, meals, drinks (and perhaps a hooker and a hotel).

Cheap people like me prefer online gambling, accompanied by cans of beers.
4314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wilder vs. Fury II: The Rematch is On on: February 24, 2020, 08:06:27 AM
Damn, I missed this match! I've just come back from Youtube and shocked about how Fury outclassed Wilder that much. I've predicted Fury would win, but not dominating like this.

I think Fury got a bit lucky with the "AJ-like damage" received by Wilder with that right hook. Wilder just couldn't recover after that blow. However, I'll still bet Fury wins 9 out of 10 (1 draw) versus Wilder.
4315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't be a hypocrite and admit that you are a gambler on: February 24, 2020, 07:44:54 AM
hold on dude, I really surprised to see u your thread here. I wanna says that life is gamble too. Full of surprise and no one knows the result even sometimes history repeat itself. Even when i trade sometimes TA doesn't work at all, so i try to see bigger timeframe and still felt like gambling for me.. Grin Grin
My apologies mate, I've been busy lately.

Well, you could still use TA as one of many analyses in your investment decision. Many people made mistakes because they use TA as a sole technique to predict the market. But still, even if you use many techniques, then you are still "gambling" since no methods are 100% valid.


Sorry, I think it is not true to assume "life is a gamble". We know that every religion provides a guide to living properly in the world. And all know that the result of our life will be divided into 2 ending, to "heaven or hell". It is a bit different than the fundamental of gambling, so I think it doesn't include the kinds of gambling because of having a clear direction.
Nope, religions provide not only good/moral materials but also evil/immoral materials in its guidance. What people don't understand is, they got their morality from parenting and society, not from old books.

Nobody has seen heaven or hell, why you assume it's real? Not just some political agenda to control people?

Just food for thought, lol. If you are interested in this kind of stuff, better jump to politics and society board Grin


I'm locking this thread. Sorry for the delay.
4316  Economy / Economics / Re: GOLD and BITCOIN: What is their similarities? on: February 20, 2020, 05:43:33 PM
Show me what you know.
Lmao, asking something without manner...

I think the most persuasive argument is both have a limited supply. One could argue that altcoins made the supply unlimited. However, that's also applicable to gold. The gold supply is unlimited if you include all planets in the universe.
4317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't be a hypocrite and admit that you are a gambler on: February 20, 2020, 05:09:46 PM
This is quite an interesting argument.  It is indeed debatable and I guess there is no right or wrong on this one because it is all about perspective.  Here is one article to refute that belief.

What's the difference between a risk and a gamble?

In this article, it differentiates between a gamble and a calculated risk, thus making some valid point against OP's point.  This is also an interesting read because it clearly differentiates gambling and the daily decision of people taking and was presented as calculated risk.
Dude, read the purpose of this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5226378.msg53863341#msg53863341

The problem with calculated risk is, you couldn't control the surprise or unknown risk. It's like flying on an airplane. Everyone makes sure that all of the procedures were met, and everything is under control, yet every time you take a flight, you gamble with 1 in 205,552 probability of losing.

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/how-safe-is-flying-here-s-what-the-statistics-say

I'll lock this thread in 24 hours since I've satisfied with the answers Wink
4318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you share at least one gambler who have become rich in gambling? on: February 20, 2020, 04:53:58 PM
Billy Walters
Dude, this guy is in prison for insider trading. Also, in sports betting, he could bribe opposition to intentionally losing the game.

I'm more convinced with gamblers who play in skill games, like poker, blackjack, etc., that utilize card counting method. They could become rich before getting blacklisted to enter casinos.



And for the lottery, 70% went bankrupt in just a few years.
https://www.nefe.org/press-room/news/2018/research-statistic-on-financial-windfalls-and-bankruptcy.aspx

If they (the winners) don't know how to make money in the first place, they won't be able to sustain their spending. Wealth is built on the continuous stream of cash inflow.

yup gan, kalo dari persepsi gue kenapa 50% dimining di block1 pastinya developer $XRC pasti punya pertimbangan jika nantinya benar2 diadopsi ke freemarketone / sebelum direlease nantinya koin $XRC ini tidak terjadi kelangkaan dan memastikan sirkulasi dan harga tetap stabil.

yang penting gue sebar portofolio ke coin2 yang menjanjikan dan masih murah2 nggak fokus ke satu koin saja buat investasi jangka panjang
Ya terserah agan toh pilihan investasi itu kembali ke diri masing-masing, ane tidak mempersoalkan hal itu.
Ane hanya mempersoalkan cara marketing yang kurang etis. Seharusnya disebutkan 50% dari total koin akan digunakan sebagai reserve untuk berbagai kegiatan, airdrop, dll.
Ane tanya dijawab berbelit-belit seakan-akan menutupi hal ini. Itu doangs.

Spesifikasi koin:
Total supply: 2,100,000 XRC
Premine block #1: 1,050,000 XRC
Block reward mulai block #2: 2.5 XRC

^ Ah yang bener gan, berarti agan tahu kalau dalam total supply yang sebesar 2,100,000 koin, 50%-nya sudah di mining pada block #1?

Output Total: 1,050,000 XRC
https://explorer.bitcoinrh.org/xrc/Block/785793c0c87e83ed9cf3851359210c03123aa6a43d2d0a96ee000c4373e24274

Baru kemudian di block #2 outputnya berubah jadi 2.5 XRC
