4681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dutch gambling authority fines 10 companies a total of €3.5m this year on: December 30, 2019, 03:56:12 PM
I'm just not sure why the companies are still operating even though they are being fined a hefty amount. There might be something between those companies and those who let them run there. In the year 2021 would be different for them if they happen to open gambling in foreign and local markets. The situation they have now with gambling companies are strange. Gambling companies are wealthy, so they could quickly pay the fine.
4682  Economy / Economics / Re: UNICEF Will Give Out Bitcoin Grants via Henrietta Fore's Cryptocurrency Fund on: December 30, 2019, 11:31:16 AM
I have been part of donating to UNICEF for a while now, and I guess three months now as I have been approached and told that they have an excellent program for feeding and helping the kids that need them. I haven't seen any detailed helping, but they sent me some photobook with information about what they have done in my country. I believe that they would help the needy; it would only be in their conscience if they don't.

I asked them for some information about them accepting cryptocurrencies as a donation, and I think it's going to be beneficial for the community of Bitcoin. More applications would lead to more exposure to people, which is not bad, right?
4683  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Outperforms Every Asset this Decade, Will 2020s Tell the Same Story? on: December 30, 2019, 10:12:00 AM
Bitcoin was indeed dominating over other cryptocurrencies since the day it was born. It is why I think that in the next decade, there's a good chance that they will dominate once again because of the massive adoption of institutions, banks, etc., than any other cryptos out there.
Definitely it will kick the butts of different cryptocurrencies because it's the first one. I mean, what else would be given trust, right? New crypto, whose name is unknown or Bitcoin. I think the latter is a favorable one.

Hands down to Bitcoin as it outperforms any other asset like no other.
There could be different terms that could lead you to perform, but the possibility of earning using Bitcoin with trading is far better than any other asset. Maybe 2020 would be even better for it. We will see.

My bet goes to

610,720   crwth
or
610,770   GazetaBitcoin
A few more days left and I don't feel the luck in me right now. Hopefully, the computation I had is somewhat close to what it could be. Only if it's that simple. Cheesy

Any more donations to add to the prize?  Cheesy

While the hashpower is quite high right now we won't see a big change until the next difficulty adjustment. So at least until then, miners will confirm blocks faster (according to BTC.com 4.50% right now).
I don't see significant changes when it comes to the hash power unless something happens. We will see.
4685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Amount Of Available Dice Rolls Per Day on: December 29, 2019, 12:54:18 PM
It depends on the website that you are using. My experience using Seuntjie dice bot is excellent when it comes to letting it run 24/7, and I have done it a couple of times with different sites. I remember using it in Bitsler, Bitvest, SafeDice, and Primedice. The slowest one is Safedice IIRC. The fastest one is Bitsler or Bitvest, not sure. But if you were to compute it.

SafeDice is 1 roll : 1 second = 86400 rolls per day
Bitsler 1 roll : 0.25 Second = 108000 rolls per day

It's just an estimate, but you could use it as a reference when you would use Seuntjie dice bot.
4686  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New experience about posting behaviour on: December 29, 2019, 09:59:04 AM
Congratulations on being a campaign manager.

The members that you managed that posted exactly 25 posts per week might have the exact time to have that posts. It may be just because of the minimum or perhaps not. It is up to the user to do it. As long as you do your job, there wouldn't be any problem, IMHO.

I'm one of the users who have a minimum of 25 weekly, but most of the time, I post more than my minimum just because. I love contributing and discussing different things that interest me. It still depends on the user if he/she does more than they have to. It's best to keep track as well.
4687  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin never reaches a new ATH? on: December 29, 2019, 03:01:13 AM
It’s sad to think that there is a possibility where you cannot reach the ATH.

There is always a possibility where you could reach ATH because
  • People are using it more often
  • It is accepted worldwide

There is always a possibility where you could NOT reach ATH
  • People lost interest and have disbelief in Cryptocurrencies
  • Not completely accepted everywhere

I think that’s what we are here for, to promote the use of it and maybe, it could have a ripple effect on people that it’s not a negative thing to use Bitcoin but an improvement on ways we transact. There are a lot of factors to consider, but there’s no 100% correct prediction on what the future would be unless you are a real time traveler.

I didn't know that there is a Wiki page for Bitcointalk, thanks for sharing. It's not that informative, though. I think there is a way you could add information to a particular subject. Maybe collectively, as users of BTCT, we could devise what should be shown in the Wiki. Possibly include everything good and bad. Transparency is important.
4689  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: ledger Christmas Offer on: December 28, 2019, 04:00:35 PM
This way annoying to me as well but they changed this with the newest firmware update.
When you generate new sending addresses now, you see them divided in three parts. You see the beginning of the address, once you confirm it with the one on screen you press the right button to see the 2nd part. After you compare that one you see the last digits on the 3rd part.
It is much better now.
Ohh. I didn't know that they updated to that. I haven't used my S for quite a while now, I'm even planning to sell it to someone who trusts me, and I trust back. Maybe he could utilize it better than I can. I have been enjoying using X anywhere I needed to, even saved me one time when I needed funds. Thanks for the update!
4690  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is It true youTube has started restoring of crypto related videos? on: December 28, 2019, 03:43:37 PM
This has been one of the controversial topics in different websites. I Googled this topic and saw this link

That article gave me the idea that Google is not that supportive of cryptocurrency and blocked certain cryptocurrency-related ads from their website. I do think they meant to do the "Crypto Purge" but didn't expect this kind of backlash that is given by the users, especially the big channels who were affected.

There's an update posted in the article it states that
Quote from: Billy Bambrough
[Update: 5:05am EST 12/27/2019] YouTube has said the decision to ban bitcoin and cryptocurrency videos from its site was an "error" and the removed videos would be reinstated.

4691  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: ledger Christmas Offer on: December 28, 2019, 08:38:25 AM
Ideally, the best package that you could have is getting it with a discount, and obtaining it with an offer is far better than getting it at a regular price. If you are going to get it, the best thing is to get it with an offer, right? Comparing the previous offers like what others said, it's not as high.

X and s are almost the same and they have the same security. The only advantage x has is the extra memory space, so you can have more altcoins apps installed at once (which is not q great advantage )
One great advantage of X is the portability and no need to bring the extra item (cable), and you could just use it with a smartphone, and you can transact your crypto anywhere. This may be a little thing, but X is convenient when reading the transactions that you have like the address you are sending it to. It shows in 2 lines, instead of moving one-liner in S. It's quite annoying for me.
4692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel more lucky than usual when it's New Year's. on: December 28, 2019, 07:14:28 AM
If you believe in something like that, then you should continue doing that. I'm just here to say that you might not be able to get that all the time because it cannot always be like that, and I'm saying this so that you wouldn't expect, and you won't be hurt when you lose during the new year. There's just nothing connecting the holidays to your chances of winning. It's still going to be based on a probability that you cannot predict.
4693  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Automated Trading Challenge - Start 0.015 BTC on: December 27, 2019, 01:57:18 AM
I'm happy with the recent trades before. As you can see it made a comeback and we are almost back to where we started. Hopefully more great trades to come. We're in it for the long run. Will continuously document this and maybe people would be more interested.

I have changed the parameters as well with regards to ROE. I like the current settings with the current market.

4694  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Which exchanges provide legit trading volume data? on: December 26, 2019, 07:22:41 AM
I think almost every reputable exchange is already giving out the best trading volume data that they have and as long as there are volume in their coins, it could be considered that it’s the real volume. I’m just wondering if you are also considering that most of it are connected in programs like automatic trading bots that produce volume. I think it can still be considered because it’s being actively traded. There are people who are behind it and they are using bots for the ease of use.

The oldest exchanges are the ones with the data that dates years ago, I’m not sure where you could get that but I think it could be requested. Maybe there are services that could do that for you and then analyze the data you have gathered accordingly.
4695  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Really Hit $1 Million? Demirors Warns Halving May Have Zero Impact on: December 26, 2019, 03:19:47 AM
This is what I have been thinking of the recent days since I have seen a lot of posts regarding the Halving and the creation of multiple countdown timers to it (there’s no exact date yet IIRC). To my thinking, is the effect of having less BTC would significantly impact the circulation, OF COURSE. But people would be willing to buy more of it just because of that? IDTS. The people still dictate the price of the asset, and if people are eager to buy more, then I would love that, but directly impacting the price is somewhat subjective.
4696  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Reasons for traders to look at! on: December 25, 2019, 02:04:07 PM
No matter what you do and what you read, you need to understand how you apply everything you have learned in a disciplined manner because no matter what you do, you have to experience all the hardships and losses to understand the need for that disciplined manner. All I know is the continuous learning needed to have a great experience in trading, or should I say consistency.
4697  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Question and Traditional Markets on: December 25, 2019, 12:18:48 PM
This is what every person is waiting for that supports Bitcoin. Isn't it the goal to be accepted and let Bitcoin be ETF? I think if it is ever acceptable to be one traded to common stocks like Google, bitcoin would have more significant value, and I think there would be more applicable.

Being realistic would be more favorable so that we wouldn't be expecting so much. Bitcoin is still a far way off.
4698  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Facebook Loses Data for 267 Million Users, Calls Libra Security Into Question on: December 25, 2019, 04:50:30 AM
Continuous adverse events with regards to Facebook would automatically connect to Libra. It wouldn't be enough to get it off the ground. I think it's best to consider that they are different entities that serve a different purpose. One is for connecting people, and the other is a currency that could potentially help people understand the use of cryptocurrencies.

I do think that it should be considered two different things and not connect both for mistakes that could come along the way.
4699  Economy / Economics / Re: Reflections from a journalist of a Year of Toying With Bitcoin on: December 24, 2019, 06:35:11 PM
Not bad. I read the article made by Leigh Cuen and I understand where she is getting it from and why she feels that way. If we are to talk about how people could send money half-way across the world with fewer fees, it's BTC ftw. In the case where it's in real-life situations when you need to use BTC, I understand it.

I like the way she approached the part where it's going to be some issues with regards to personal information risks. It's the connection between the aliases that you have online and the possibility of having it be connected if that's the concern you could have. It would be a problem, and it's still not perfect.

This article helps me realize that there is still room for improvement not just for Bitcoin but how we could use it IRL.
4700  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Anyone can Rank-up! [Motivational Thread from a noob] on: December 24, 2019, 12:23:32 PM
If people still don't read this summarized type of thread, then I don't think that person is going to be able to rank up. Starting from Newbie all the way to Legendary would take a lot of time and effort, but if you deserve it, you will reach that.

Nice list for potential Newbies to Legendary members (soon)

I do agree a lot with the Grammarly extension that you should get it. It would help you be aware of what you need to work on, and it's not just punctuations; it's also the grammar itself, whether you need to add a preposition, a comma, or any other type of possible mistake, it would help. Continuously, you could learn the basics with Grammarly.
