The title of this thread makes total sense, very well said. Bitcoin is precious and still diponible for anyone who has legit interest for adopting it. i can't think of any other investment, asset, currency or precious metal which has the same proportion between accessibility and profitability of bitcoin. And even considering these aspects, most people aren't ready yet to adopt the digital currency. It's shocking, isn't it?

How many people struggling right now could be already improving their lives and overcoming financial problems with access to different international crypto platforms if they were bitcoin enthusiasts. In the end the picture presented in OP perfectly describes how most people are living their lives: with a heavy chain tied to their heels attached to a even heavier iron ball carried on their backs.

That is the burden of a life without financial planning, management and without an open mind regards alternatives to the traditional inflationary fiat system which makes average people poorer and poorer through the years.

Ok we have the name, IDK who this guy his but 45m Shocked a lot of money.

Source: https://twitter.com/romeoagresti/status/1480657509639725058
This player is showing a nice performance, especially on his assistance to the goal which made possible the tie between his team Lyon and PSG days ago. It made the elite of european soccer grow their eyes on him. A promising player, they suppose, and Lyon is taking the opportunity demanding such amount of money for him.

But I'm not sure if Juventus will be ready to take the risks of this hiring, since the club will have to take a huge loan to afford Bruno Guimaraes.

It makes sense the issue with bitcoin mining hashrate in Kazakhstan impacted the price negatively added to the news coming from the USA regards the increasement in interest rates by the Federal Reserve. When you have two important factors like those happening simultaneously, you can expect pessimism in the market without any doubts. And honestly it wasn't so bad as it could, because even though bitcoin has hit 39,000$ today, it immediately returned to 41,000$ without any difficult. It means such events impacted bitcoin negatively, but not so negatively to put it in a bad position like the one we have seen during the last bear season some years ago.
4564  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stick to altcoins or switch to Bitcoin or stablecoins? on: January 10, 2022, 09:57:00 PM
Market is witnessing some gradual dumps and it's a know fact that altcoins will bleed more than bitcoin and they will be stable or recover only when bitcoin recovers and pumps. So will it be wise to hold on to Altcoin or switch to Bitcoin or convert the funds into stablecoins and wait for market to either start recovering or to dump further to buy more in order to reach breakthrough for the lose which we might have incurred till now.
The bold part is everything you need to know when making your decision. It's logical bitcoin is the best alternative since it's well known the market is only going to recover as a whole when bitcoin recovers itself. Without a strong and pumping bitcoin there isn't profit through altcoins as well. When you hold bitcoin you have the assurance sooner or later it will rise again, but when you hold an altcoin you never know if it's going to increase in value once more, because although there is a chance it's going to be influenced by bitcoin price during a future bull run, it's not a guarantee at all. In crypto market bitcoin is a safe bet, so of course it's better to stick with it.

Maybe if they added more earnings alternatives besides the traditional faucet, like micro jobs offers, it would be already an extra incentive for new users to stay more time on the platform, what would also boost the referral program. What happens right now is that common users who are trying to make some extra income online see no point in claiming 4-5 satoshis every hour and dice or slots aren't enough to keep them active, as they lack money to deposit and play. Promotional codes shared at this forum thread or social medias to give users extra rewards would be also an interesting bonus to attract more members to freebitco.in.

While adding microjobs might be a good idea, I don't think it really fits in their 'business'. Nowadays it is just very difficult to find new referrals on freebitco.in as it is the oldest faucet around and the most popular one. Finding referrals, keeping them active is always the challenging part (on every site). On freebitco.in you also have the opportunity to share some of your commissions with your referrals, so that can be one way to keep your referrals active.
It's hard to find new referrals, but once new features are added, there are good chances many of those old users will come back in fresh new accounts, because it's common to forget passwords and stop using old email addresses along the years, so they have no choice besides creating a new account through a new referral link.

Furthermore, there are always potential referrals around: many people who were children when freebitco.in was firstly launched are developing their interest for crypto currency universe only now, so it's a perfect time to refer those youngsters to the site.

I think it's harder to refer people now because the old platforms we were used to share links aren't efficient like before anymore. I mean mainly PTC sites which are completely dead and facebook which is infested with scam earning offers, so no serious person pays attention to what is posted there anymore.
4566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Brasileirão 2022 - Brazilian Championship Serie A on: January 10, 2022, 08:21:38 PM
Maybe in a few years Cruzeiro can be a great team again, I don't know if you guys outside Brazil know about, but Ronaldo bought Cruzeiro: https://www.espn.com/soccer/brazil-bra/story/4552747/brazilian-great-ronaldo-buys-boyhood-club-cruzeiro
It's true Ronaldo is buying Cruzeiro, but the deal hasn't been sealed yet and I have read rumours he could give up the purchase due to the club being in deep debt and criticisms from the crowd after the departure of the main goalkeeper. To buy Cruzeiro became a risky business and close people to Ronaldo said he can just leave to Spain and forget this idea. We will see in the next days...

I really hope he buys his boyhood club.If there is disagreement over the main goalkeeper departure I am sure this can be solved by bringing in another goalkeeper at least the same level if not better than the one who departed.For the debt though I am afraid this is a bigger issue and if Ronaldo has enough money to cover it he should buy the club,if not then truly it becomes a risky business for him so it is better to stay away.My personal opinion is that he should buy this club just for the emotional value it may have for him.
Yes, all these issues are remediable: debts can be paid and players can be replaced. More than a soccer player, Ronaldo is a businessman. So he should have the kind of mindset to solve this situation and recover the glory of the club, although frankly speaking I don't think he spreads confidence. But let's see...



The favorite clubs so far are Atletico-MG, Flamengo and Palmeiras. Even without winning titles recently, Flamengo has the confidence of the public. They expect a foreigner coach to arrive soon, what includes Jorge Jesus who can return from Portugal.

Atletico has been doing a great job winning the last Brasileirão championship 2021 (Flamengo finished in second and Palmeiras in third) and Brazil Cup 2021. The team is indeed really strong and well managed by Cuca.

And Palmeiras has won CONMEBOL Libertadores championship 2021, which is an international competition among south american clubs.

Even in my case there was a person whom I met in a Facebook group but never in real life and he introduced me to bitcoin.
I made a huge dive into the bitcoin world and here I am 5 years later living a decent life all thanks to that person and ofcourse bitcoin.

Freebitco.in is indeed a legendary gambling site. I think it's the only site I know which has been paying it's users free Satoshis all these years.
No strings attached and just free Satoshis. Truly a legend !!
I wish I got affiliates like you guys, mine usually leave, 99% of the time. I mean surely they stay for a few months at least but only like 1% of them stays active after they join until today, rest just leave unfortunately, and never really got any decent gambler out of it neither, just free faucet folk I assume.

All in all freebitco.in was something I loved doing affiliate work because of that exact reason, it is a great way to enter the world of crypto, you will get a small amount at first but do it for a whole month with like 12 times a day and you will end up with a decent amount and get out. After that you could invest that into some tokens, some new projects, or try to earn something from somewhere else to add on top of your current balance to grow. No matter what you do afterwards, it is amazing for a start and definitely offers a lot more if you keep going.

If we are talking about affiliates then my luck is same as yours. Even I am not so good at getting referrals.
Which ever referral I got was years ago and none of them are active. I have got 5 referrals in total and have earned 0.00015 BTC from them.
But as I said, all of them were years ago and none of them are active. I have even stopped sharing referral link now since nobody joins through referrals these days.


I share your experience.... I had some banners made to advertise my referral link on other platforms and I am not getting "active" hits anymore... because they signup and try the faucets a couple of times and then they stop using the site.  Roll Eyes

I should say that Freebitco.in should add more gambling games (Slots) to make it worth people's time to stay on the site. They decided to change their business model to a "gambling" site and have not done a full transition yet. (Adding Sports betting and Lotto etc.. is not 100% gambling)
Maybe if they added more earnings alternatives besides the traditional faucet, like micro jobs offers, it would be already an extra incentive for new users to stay more time on the platform, what would also boost the referral program. What happens right now is that common users who are trying to make some extra income online see no point in claiming 4-5 satoshis every hour and dice or slots aren't enough to keep them active, as they lack money to deposit and play. Promotional codes shared at this forum thread or social medias to give users extra rewards would be also an interesting bonus to attract more members to freebitco.in.
4568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Teaching your kids to gamble. on: January 10, 2022, 07:03:29 PM
You also contribute to the increasing cases of gambling when you hide answers about gambling from the underaged when asked. If your kids or any underaged around you becomes too curious about gambling, educate them and let them know the perils of underaged gambling and why it is for adults, answer their questions and clear their doubts, so they don't go find out about gambling themselves.
This is always the best to do. Doesn't matter how polemical is this matter, talking freely and in an educative way about all its aspects, including the risks and potential benefits, will help an underage person to better understand what can be really expected from gambling realistically. In my opinion it's important to highlight for underage people that gambling won't replace a part or full time job for most people and even though there isn't any work disponible around, to consider gambling an emergency palliative can turn the financial situation more serious than just not working. Sometimes underage people have difficult comprehending this, so they need support from older and more experient family members and friends.

I can only imagine everyone using bitcoin in a scenario where a central authority forces or heavily endorses its usage. For now it won't happen because many of those authorities have a negative stance regards bitcoin, what means people under their influence range aren't going to adopt the digital currency. I believe the majority of the population on this planet are composed by sheep who can't think or decide by themselves, while bitcoin adopters represent a tiny percentage who go against the tide, so we can't really measure the whole situation in order to make a prediction taking only bitcoin enthusiasts as example.
4571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Big Wins of 2021 ($550,000+) on: January 09, 2022, 06:35:01 PM
This is a very common trait among human beings, to share the success but not the failures that lead to that success, as an example if you take a look a social media most people share the pictures and experiences of everything that went right with their lives, this gives the impression that everything is great in their lives but they do not share the bad moments, and as such the way they present themselves is biased, and something similar could be happening here as we have no idea how many losses were necessary to achieve those results.
That is true, because it feels good for the self esteem of people in general to share their success stories in public. It makes people feel important, special and unique towards everyone else around.

And in this case, if the story is legit and this gambler is on positive profit, I must say he is really a special one who is among the small percentage of victorious gamblers able to thrive betting. Moreover, considering how much money he risks on his bets, this achievement becomes even more unique and magnificent.
4572  Economy / Economics / Re: LEGO Sets Are Better Investments than Stocks, Bonds or Even Gold on: January 08, 2022, 11:07:41 PM
LEGO is so valuable (the old discontinued sets) because besides being a creative toy full of possibilities, it's also very well made (probably the most well polished of the entire toys' industry) with excellent raw materials quality.

Moreover, LEGO is nostalgic for many adults who had a set or another back then or just desired to had that, although the parents couldn't afford the toys.

Naturally these sets become highly appreciated relics along the decades. Personally, I always dreamed about some sets from the 2000's, like the Old West, Jungle, Sphynx from the egyptian set, Ninjas, Medieval...

And now it's not possible anymore, because the sets' styles were completely changed and in my opinion they have lost their originality.
4573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will owning 0.01 BTC really make you rich? on: January 08, 2022, 10:03:05 PM
In my opinion it's a very exaggerated prediction which doesn't make sense at all even on the most optimistic scenarios. Just imagine the volume of money invested in crypto market needed to push every bitcoin to 100M$ dollars. For this hypothetical situation to happen, I suppose fiat system must completely crashes and be nuked before... Only the total loss of trust in traditional financial system and its alternatives could justify such impact over bitcoin price.
4574  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: January 08, 2022, 02:37:33 AM
That's basically my story. I joined Freebitco.in without knowing almost anything about Bitcoin, I had to learn how to create wallet first. And yeah, I moved to faucets from PTC websites.

See I knew there were similar people to me everywhere, we are from the old school PTC sites and when they started paying in satoshi we all found FBC. I've already given up every single place though as I treat this place like a semi wallet, and now I've got my FUN tokens here. Just something mindless to do every day when I happen to have time for a freeroll. Long live FBC Smiley

Oh even I remember the PTC sites. Back in those days I used to search for every single source on the internet to earn some money.
I never found anything though and all of them were fake. I found freebitco.in by searching for ways to earn bitcoin for free.
Lol, it sounds ridiculous but it is actually true. Although we used to get just a few Satoshis but at least it is not fake like the other PTC sites.
Since then I am using freebitco.in as a way to get some free sats and have fun gambling at the same time.
What a coincidence! I remember I was an adept of PTC sites, trying to milk few cents from many different sites, while sharing referral links at social medias in an attempt to increase my income, when suddenly a random person told me on Facebook PTC sites were dead already and the new trend was bitcoin faucets!

I had heard about bitcoin before, but I was fearful and didn't know how to adopt it, so I asked the person if I had to pay something to start using and so on... Then he guided me on this universe and the first site presented was freebitco.in.

Well, then I continued the journey by myself and discovered bitcoin was much more than just a trend. At same time the person who referred me must be being rewarded generously until now, since I'm an active user of freebitco.in and I'm glad for this, because if it wasn't for this person my life would be much more difficult.
4575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will be the next big industry move? on: January 08, 2022, 01:25:51 AM
I think we'll keep seeing the growth of the gambling industry specially online with the general growth of internet use

lotteries will probably keep going as a trend as well, on the last day of 2021 we had the biggest earnings by a lottery in Brazil, 1.2 billion reais (around 210,417,600 USD) earned with a 350 million reais distributed as a prize (around 61,371,800 USD)
quite impressive!

I believe we all agree with the future of the gambling industry, it will grow more, and I agree especially online gambling... simply more and more people are connected, new generations are all about internet things! But what will be the next big move or the new game is something that is interesting to think about! I know I would like to see more PvP games... anyone remembers the Dragons Tale gambling game? I think something similar, of course with better graphics and more games would be awesome!
It's probable you are correct on your prediction, because PvP games open the possibility of excluding the third parties from the competition, what means players don't have to pay taxes or fees to the platforms anymore.

On the other hand, PvP games even inside centralized casinos are still funny for many gamblers, because they can be played between friends and between competitive players who have the desire to overcome all their adversaries to reach top rankings. The excitement is much more intensive than when playing against a machine.
4576  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin close to becoming totally irrelevant for most "normal" people?? on: January 07, 2022, 11:26:58 PM
If the 1% (that pumped Bitcoin)were to dump their BTC holdings, because of for instance a stock or a bondmarket crash, triggered by for instance higher interest rates. If so, you would see a BTC (and altcoin) crash like not seen in many years...
Regular blue collar Joe hasn't got the kind of financial funds to replace what the 1% could pull out. Only the 1% has 1% money, and if they say i'm out of BTC, the price of BTC will adjust to what regular Joe can afford, and that wont be much in a market crisis.
Something like this is already happening as the interest rates for fixed income investments in USA are being raised by the central bank, so we see small crashes in bitcoin price, but at same time, as we can see, the price never falls too deep, because the average investors or even the biggest ones buyback right after.

This gives us a good hint on how strong and relevant bitcoin is for crypto market's members in general.

And even though the price heavily crashed, it would be the perfect opportunity for many buyers to boost their holdings for cheap price, consequently leading the price up again immediately.
4577  Economy / Economics / Re: 2022 Savings and investment plan on: January 07, 2022, 10:48:20 PM
I will take less risk this year but make my finances more stable with some skills development.
That is a pretty conservative idea that to work efficiently demands a bigger initial investment amount, since the returns percentage is lower due to the risks also being low. On the other hand, stability is very important in someone's life, so if you are really able to achieve a decent profit with the strategy mentioned in your post, go for it!

To develop skills is also a good idea meanwhile. This way you open new paths to another professions and jobs opportunities.
4578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Average gainer gambler on: January 06, 2022, 09:36:28 PM
Different researches find different results, but most likely profitable gamblers are around 8%-11% of the total number of players. That means every 100 gamblers, 8 to 11 of them are going to win. The beauty of these games is that it can be anyone, doesn't matter who you are, what you do and how you live!

Otherwise, gambling wouldn't be so popular as we see right now (and the industry keeps growing)...
4579  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is more important Hype or Utility? on: January 06, 2022, 02:50:53 AM
There are different styles of investors and I'm not saying one style is more benefical than another, since there are different factors which influence the final profit made. Sometimes a hyped coin can generate more profit on the short run for a lucky investor than an useful coin can generate along several years of solidity and trustfulness.

For my taste, utility is more adviced than hype, because I like to focus on long term investment goals. It's a safer approach when investing, without relying in speculative whales to also achieve your goal. An useful coin or asset will survive along the year, while a hyped coin will only give you some profit on short run (if you are lucky to buy and sell in time) and die right after.

It depends on your priority here. If you want easy profit, you can venture the hyped up projects. But it is very risky as you don't know when will be the right time to enter and exit. If in case, you get involved with possible pump and dump coin, better get out while you are still in positive. Because if you will wait too long, you may end up holding worthless coins or tokens. This is the problem with hype coins, you can never be sure of their existence. Whereas, if you are investing in a utility coin, you can follow their progress and you will know if there will be no more developments as you can see it from their social media channels. And you can decide, whether keep on holding or just sell it and move on to the next project.
The problem is that there isn't a sure way to know when it's the right time to jump in and jump out and that is why I prefer coins which bring an utility purpose, as they are going to last on long run, so I don't have to worry myself about the coin's price going from ATH to zero in few minutes, hours or days.

Talking about risks intensity, there isn't actually too much difference between a HYIP and a hyped altcoin. If you choose this investment option, all you can expect is to be lucky enough to be on the right place, at the right time in order to achieve profit and avoid loss. People following this strategy blindly are likely to face losses on long run... Speculative altcoins might be an interesting idea, but just for a tiny percentage of an investor's total bankroll.
4580  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do you manage Bitcoin price now on: January 06, 2022, 02:34:08 AM
today the price of bitcoin is back down and currently the price of bitcoin is in the range of $43k, I think the decline this time is quite deep because the price of bitcoin is down more than 5%. this is the lowest bitcoin price since the last 2 months because since the last 2 months the bitcoin price has never dropped below $45k. so now is a very good time to buy because in the next few days there will definitely be a price recovery at least the price of bitcoin will return to the $45k range again.
Once again north american FED heavily impacted crypto market today with the announcement the increasements in interest rates in USA must happen earlier than expected. It means fixed income investments on the country are going to pay better with this new measure, what will attract lots of investors, including the ones who haven been investing in bitcoin so far. What means there is much money going out of crypto market...
I hope that with this movement, new investors have the opportunity to adopt bitcoin for a cheaper price, while helping the crypto currency to rise in value once more to 50,000$, making this its support level.
