Why isn't that possible?! At least I haven't seen the possibility anywhere. It's a huge gap in the market! I'd even buy stocks with 5% or more fees and pay with Bitcoin.
Because no such project has been done yet. Moreover since crypto are not completely legalized we might not see something like that soon. However if @o_e_l_e_o is correct then you should check those sites out and see if they suit you. May vary depending on which country you are in and depending on what stock you actually want to buy since it will be listed on separate exchanges.

Point is that you are not the first person to think of this, I am sure someone has thought the same and hit a wall trying to develop a project in similar objectives. Quite possibly the failed in my assumption.

But you can sell your bitcoins for fiat and use that to pay your broker. But it is thus the long route and not the streamlined one.

We can really start our gambling affiliate anytime we want because it doesn't affect other people and all you need to do is to choose a site where you want to start you online gambling and play.
Affiliate marketing has nothing to do with gambling at the same time.

Someone who is doing both is playing it the wrong way.

Being an affiliate marketer means being like an influencer and the wise influencer never puts in buying the thing that they are promoting. Of course what you are talking about is the gambler who is trying to get referral commission as a side earning - these people never make anything good because they lack the predatory marketing psychology of the influencers.

Being the affiliate marketer you are a part of the house and its earnings. Why would you gamble that when you are trying to actually make real profit?

I recommend you to use stake.com since it is the one that I use and it is easy to use.
Please use the proper site link. You dont want to send people to phishing sites do you?

I think HODL strategy has always been best when trading bitcoin but I know nothing about trading anything.
Dont make up an opinion when you dont know about it buddy.

Good luck in running that business and while you are at it I guess you are looking to hold off some profit in bitcoin. Well the thing here is that you should use whatever exchange you feel comfortable with but directly buying bitcoin with credit card is an issue. Like Le suggested, Changelly allows that but they are again having some accusations in this forum for forced KYC, but you might them useful.

If you live near a bitcoin ATM then you are very lucky, specially if you are in North America, they are abundant there as far as I know.
4684  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cloud mining - why? on: June 01, 2020, 05:05:00 AM
or is that the point, like some sort of gamble?
Cloud mining is a pyramid scheme/MLM scheme. So yes it becomes a sort of a gamble and a hype led koolaid crew.

This is enhanced by the fact that these schemes spread on social media and previous faucet sites and google ads (not anymore now) for giving high referral commission and thus more and more people signed up.

The real winners here were the people running the scheme who are the scammers and the social media promoters who promoted them, specially youtubers. They got paid for it and they didnt care about how people lost, they just wanted their money - you see how money can manipulate people to forget their morals?

And the losers were those who got on the hype train, those investing last were the least probable of breaking even because on fine day the site will have shut down and all the money gone into thin air with no legal authority to contact and nobody to run after.

If you talk about accusing the youtubers then they will either claim their disclaimer or say they were also scammed/pull the victim card. Roll Eyes
4685  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Taxes on Bitcoins: Unreasonable or essential? on: June 01, 2020, 04:52:18 AM
Any hot girls from the countries you posted want to marry me so I can get citizenship? Wink
Slow down cowboy Cheesy

You have to see two sides of this system. One where tax evaders are trying to use bitcoin as a safe haven to save themselves from getting taxed due to their big income figures and another where normal law abiding citizens are using crypto for daily purposes.

Problem arises because taxation is the income for the state. Every government has this treasury system to fund government sectors. So taxation is a necessary evil. Now if people who are using bitcoin try to evade it too much then the government having a problem. It does not mean that bitcoin users are getting rich, but it is the opposite because essential services are going to go down for them.

So I think a taxation system should be there and a balance needs to be present, but I have no idea as to how it will be regulated.

The answer to any such problem is a compromise and not a simple yes or no. People know this but they fail to accept it because of their ego.
4686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did Covid-19 affect crypto gambling? on: June 01, 2020, 04:46:05 AM
It is the start of the month June and still people are gambling like nothing happened on online casinos. New casinos are coming up everyday and new games which are mostly PvC type.

The difference is only that EV+ games have reduced but with soccer games coming soon we might see reopening on sports betting as well. For now it is just eSports and if you are not a fan of those or have prior experience in them, dont go for them. Of course a wise gambler would know that already.

Also people have less money in their pockets now. So it would wiser to save up for essential costs. Many people have lost their jobs too. Sad
4687  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't trade what you can't risk loosing on: June 01, 2020, 04:42:30 AM
This is a valuable lesson, 10BTC too expensive, many people will be stressed. You are right, we need to determine exactly how much we can lose, it is very important to help us not lose confidence in our investment plans.
Ten is just a number is it not? For some people 10BTC is nothing but for some other people a double digit bitcoin figure is a big deal.

Of course I dont believe that the person lost 10BTC completely without having bought something because it is a trading and if Spot trading they definitely bought some altcoin with it. If they went for margin trading on the futures market like bitmex then it is a type of gambling but possible to lose the complete capital.

Now it is stupid to trust a "influencer" on social media. People who trust them are fools in the first place and thus I would question how they acquired 10BTC in the first place? Still it does not make it any good and people should do their own research for trading.
4688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My record of information about gambling investments. on: May 31, 2020, 06:16:22 AM
The sad thing is, I hate to see a negative ROI in my investment that is why I decided to withdrew it immediately when the ROI turns into positive. I think I should try this another time.
One thing I would like to know here is how long was the investment before you decided to withdraw it?

In my experience for the first 3-4 weeks you might see a negative ROI. But this picks gradually in the upcoming months. My investment was 0.1BTC for a period of one year and I used to login and check on it once every month. In one year the amount was approximately close to 0.15BTC.

There are divesting fees/penalty as well for early withdrawals in cryptogames. I cant say about yolodice because I have not tried them. Maybe similar thing happened with you and you backed off early. So you should try it again with a positive outlook.

Trading isn't gambling alone
This is correct.

Quote
and gambling isn't a synonym of making risks.
This is wrong. Gambling is same as taking a risk whether it be for the aim of a reward or not.

Quote
Without risk, there is no reward.
Correct. Which is why people are attracted to it.

Quote
Gambling is pure luck except for some games.
We can say that any type of gambling has a luck factor in it. Thats why it is same as taking a risk. A government job is not gambling because it will pay you a fixed amount of money every month whether you slack it or work your ass off.

Quote
Everything has risks but not all of them are connected with gambling. Don't use these sentences wrongly.
If you read it again, I was referring to F&O market. That is essentially a type of gambling while Spot trading is not a complete gamble. Maybe you are interpreting it wrongly and I am sure that we are both on the same page.
4690  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Sometimes hunters are to be blame on: May 31, 2020, 06:04:41 AM
I think new hunters do that thing but old hunters that are experienced in hunting bounty they always look for the bounty pool and the bounty campaign allocation (percentage) if they see its too small they won't even bother to join it, in the case of choosing a bounty My advice just follow Bounty Managers that have a good history of choosing bounties to promote
Managers are good no doubt about it but that is not an indicator of a bounty being legit. No ICO is a legal security and thus it is a risk to gather their tokens hoping it will go up in future, same with being a bounty hunter for these shitcoins. You can pump and dump them, then you would be lucky but hoping for the long term rise in price is a wrong thing to speculate on.

Instead we have bitcoin paying campaigns coming up every few weeks so join them instead. But first you should build your account and rank by posting quality posts in different sections of the forum.

4692  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Fantasy Trading game seeking for suggestions Your help will be rewarded on: May 30, 2020, 06:45:58 AM
Well the first thing that came to my mind was this game which I have tried a couple of times in the past.

https://bitcoinflip.app/

It is also available on Play Store as a simulation game. Is it anything different from fantasy trading? There are websites available for stock markets as well online.

OP, is probably looking for suggestions on email but I think they should just reply here. Nobody in this forum except some dumb noobs ar going to send emails to a person hoping to get something legit reply back.
4693  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency fiat money exchange service with easy KYC on: May 30, 2020, 06:41:03 AM
That all p2p services, but maybe exist any Exchanges with light KYC without selfie, documents?
Many exchanges allow you to do a limited/capped transaction volume without going KYC. Search a bit and explore yourself and you will find some.

Quote
I do not like all these things. Just to buy some Bitcoin with credit card, or bank account
Nobody likes KYC but question is the people who are laundering money also attempt to evade a KYC because they know they will get caught. So exchanges have to save their legal problems and hand over your info to authorities when subpoena is done.

Point is, you are a legit trader and undergo KYC you probably will not face any problem but to be sure do check with the other users in your country and what they are using.

Hey FJ...  I don't think those two animated Chinese women in your latest promo will sit well with some people in the middle of this pandemic.  Just a thought.  Grin
It must be tough for them to get models who are willing to shoot for a promo in the ongoing pandemic, but I think it is not problem. Its a personal choice of what model is eye candy but we have to do what they provide us with. I mean it should affect your gambling habits at all. Being distracted during gambling only means you are going to make more mistakes.

Just put a smile of your face when you see models. Lets not discriminate them about their place of origin. They are models and they are lovely Kiss
4695  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Blockfi - Any reviews or pointers ? on: May 29, 2020, 07:44:16 AM
They claim to give 5% interest rate on your BTC deposits ( https://blockfi.com/rates/ ) .
They are backed by the Winklevoss brothers (https://winklevosscapital.com/portfolio/)
Does not mean that they are trusted is it? You cannot trust any big names in the crypto ecosystem. They are all out there to make money and when they see the bears incoming they will be the first to flip.

Quote
Just wanted to check with the experienced folks here before I make an investment here .
Nah, my suggested would be the stay away from passive income platforms like this one and Celsius. If you want, set up your own lending platform system in this forum and give out collateral backed loans though it is tough to get good number of customers initially. Also put some money into buying bitcoin and investing in casino bankrolls in a trusted casino. Thats all that is need for allocating capital to the crypto sector, leaving out active trading. Do that if you have experience in it already and if not,  just buy bitcoin at low price and hold it.

Rest of your capital can be put in other sectors and by that I do no mean altcoins, stay away from them. The other sectors are stocks, commodities, bonds, precious gems metals, real estate and other securities which are under legal jurisdiction.
4696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My record of information about gambling investments. on: May 29, 2020, 05:24:06 AM
Can you please tell me more about your experiences in investing in an online crypto gambling bankroll?
I have a first hand experience in investing in the bankroll of cryptogames so I guess I can answer your question.

Quote
Well, I am reading a lot with regards to this matter because I am planning to invest some of my alts and hoping that it will grow exponentially in the long run.
First thing, it is an investment so it wont grow exponentially because that is unreal for the casino to survive, isnt it?

Quote
However, why do you say that it's not a good idea to rely on investing for long term even though lots of crypto gambler suggests we can make profit if we invested our coins for a longer period of time?
In the long term the risk of the casino going bust is reduced, in the short term this risk is high. I hope you understand what I am trying to say, investing in the casino's bankroll means you are depositing your money into the casino's house funds and thus you are now holding that fraction of the money out of the total casino bankroll. That means any profit/loss of the casino on the total bankroll is going to be reflected proportionally on your balance.

Now casinos exist because they have a house edge and also because gamblers never stop gambling and thus losing money slowly but steadily. So if you are looking for a short term high gain then this is not for you. Casino bankroll is a long term investment and can be thought to be similar to a fixed deposit in a bank.
4697  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Cheapest, most reliable way to buy Tether (USDT) using FIAT on: May 29, 2020, 05:03:34 AM
Quick question, which is the most cost effective and reliable exchange to buy Tether using fiat, USD or EUR ?
Binance's fees for USDT/EUR are 2pct which is quite excessive, but it seems to be pretty competitive overall..
If you dont like Binance fees then dont use them. There are so many other exchanges available out there but you could try to instant swap options like shapeshift too if you dont mind going through a KYC.

But there are also exchanges like the ones you posted above and to be honest it is a personal choice.

Polls like these are not trustworthy since we can have a number of newbie accounts vote of one specific exchange to promote it and you will get a biased conclusion. So try them out one by one and see which one suits you the most. What is good for one person may not be good for you.
4698  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance: accusations of insider trading on: May 29, 2020, 04:58:07 AM
Is it illegal anywhere in the world? As far as I know it isn't and even the reassuring Coinbase has made moves that stink to high heaven.

I expect if it ever was made illegal Binance would move its 'jurisdiction' to somewhere where it was.
Lets compare with the stock market for a moment shall we? The SEC and other regulation organizations have made their moves against insider trading elsewhere and this lead to a decrease in such activities because it is illegal at least from what I know. Now coming to crypto, there is no judiciary to judge them as for now and thus they are free to do what they wish.

Again there comes the debate of of DEX vs CEX. Potentially this is a minus point for the DEXs and their promoters since they have the biggest chance of doing insider trading provided they have access to the customers wallets. Nobody can judge them, lets hope that changes in future of people stop using them, either of which is not a feasible option.

Does not mean CEXs wont do insider trading, but they operate with a physical office and thus have higher chances of being caught.

Fine. If nobody can trust me on this forum, I'll simply disappear and never use cryptocurrencies again. Long live to the Big Bank!
Dont dare to pitch yourself as the bitcoin jesus like RogVer did. You are not some entitled person to receive any credit if you dont have anything to offer as collateral. You see, business is based around trust in real life where loan sharks have their debt collection gangs to get the money with force. In the internet since identity can be faked and legal problems arise collateral is the thing that everyone trusts on.

This is not your mom's wallet where you can borrow (<make that "snatch") whatever you wish to for whatever reason. Get a job, a real one.
