At least, if the market is volatile, and you have the skills to analyze the market, I am sure you will get the right time to enter the market. You can expect to make a profit from the volatility of the market, but you need to be careful because the chance for you to get lost will be there.
The market has been a bit more volatile lately with the halving completed bitcoin now trying to touch 10k USD but still lingering around 9k. It can go both up and down so better to keep some liquid cash at hand to buy.

You can always short sell when a drop is going on. Sell at the market price and buy back at lower price. The sequence is opposite but essentially the same as buying low and selling high. So these things can be taken advantage of.

It is always exciting to trade in the volatility of the market because that can make your heart become faster than before.
Right, but dont want any heart attacks during this season do we? Cheesy
4703  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Enhanced restriction in gambling casinos is it possible on: June 08, 2020, 06:15:04 AM
Also, public casinos is always crowded, so it will be unfair for everyone who wants to gamble inside the casino if the casino is limited entries.
You understand that the government also needs money right? Taxation from fiat gambling is a big part of the government's income in those countries where gambling is legal. This is one the reason of the "lift lockdown" mentality but lets not talk about that here.

So if norms are being followed they will likely pass an audit that makes it seem that the casino is clean and hygienic to pass local authorities and then restart operations. Now this is just a covering to pass on, you have to take your health in your own hands and decide what you will do, gamble outside or gamble from home? After all if you get infected, you will not be able to implicate the casino as a reason obviously. Grin
4704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Newbie and Bounty campaign. on: June 08, 2020, 06:09:23 AM
instead of just new projects, but sometimes there are old projects that have not yet entered the popular market, for example like easyfeadbeck they have made sales at tokpie and almost 1 year more have not yet entered the popular market as well, even though their project is in my opinion an active project
The projects like them may get listed but the point is that every project needs a product to rely on and to develop it further. If that is being underdeveloped or neglected by their devs for whatever reason the project will not get enough marketing. Demand does not generate completely on its own even by the investors. There needs to be an organic growth of new investors because of the market of that product. Most projects failed to develop that market.

There is also the problem of some exchanges predating on coin offerings and asking them huge listing fees. This is a side effect of crypto not being regulated. But that can be prevented if you just stick to bitcoin and the top altcoins.
4705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tactile controllers when playing online. on: June 07, 2020, 05:32:15 AM
I think with the increase in the tactile controllers for the gaming giants we might see them coming in the gambling industry soon. Whoever starts this as a new project is going to get a good amount of audience.

After all casinos survive on the sensory rush of the player and if that could be brought to the extremes then they would not stop it would they? Cheesy
This could also be the next big thing to market the crisis situation with a real life feel of being in a casino while actually in your home.

Futuristic eh. Virtual casino tours anybody?
4706  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Brought Bitcoin in 2017 and sold in 2018 on: June 07, 2020, 05:26:22 AM
I think you're the luckiest person, you bought Bitcoin before bullrun.
I think the user said "unlucky" and not lucky. But it depends on perspective of what the trader wants. Grin

Quote
Now you know how to handle this situation. Cryptocurrency situation is becoming more good before 2018. Everything will be same after halving is over. Next year the whole crypto cap will be trillion l, so you don't need to worry about your hold Ripple.
Well your post before halving and now that halving is over nothing really changed to bad did it? Rather bitcoin on average is above 9k USD everyday now and holding that level. Its not coming down easily from there but you can expect it come down in case someone decided to dump their stash.

Ripple is a centralized shitcoin, just because it gives a fast transaction does not make it better as a store of value. Maybe it can be thought as a quick transfer method at the most. Tongue
4707  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How long will Bounty hunters continue to be helpless? on: June 07, 2020, 05:20:22 AM
I don't agree to the part where you stated that bounty is free money.
You dont have to agree or disagree. We are all entitled to our own opinions.

Quote
Bounty is not airdrop so I don't see how it is free money.
Airdrop is a way of collecting people's personal data for selling on the internet. Did you know that? Thats why I like to use the words like that. Bounties are not bad things but they have been made to look in the context of ICOs and so on has been bad. It was supposed to be a rewarding system for the people who promoted the project and from there is went to a spamming fest to make money by less income countries.

Quote
Don't forget that hunters also expend mental and material resources to promote the project. So bounty reward is payment for marketing work done.
Thats correct and I hate to say that bounty hunters if having such skills are wasting them by writing articles and doing translations. Rather they should use it on bitcoin paying services and real life work. Because in the end bounty tokens are 99% going to be useless while bitcoin and fiat are not.
4708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Crash game more risky ? on: June 06, 2020, 05:54:37 AM
Correct, if we compare it with crypto investing, it's like investing a coin that has a very low value now and you think it will rise in the future, therefore you risk now but it's considered a very high risk.
I dont think that is a good comparison though specially about crash game with even altcoins. Because in Crash, if the arrow goes down you will be bust and left with zero. However when you are buying an asset to speculate its price, you have something at hand even if the price does go down.

Since I prefer bitcoin over any altcoin for the investment purpose, it will definitely not be similar to Crash if bought at low price.

Quote
Everyone should put in their mind that anything or any game that has a house edge, it will never make a gambler win consistently in the long run.
True that. Crash has its house edge and it will be bust even if the multiplier keeps growing on and on. So people should gamble responsibly.
4709  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Uber or Airbnb running on bitcoin on: June 06, 2020, 05:50:24 AM
I never paid, it was always company use when we missed our public bus, but I always thought, how do people use BTC when even simple card payments are hard?
Sorry to hear about your bad Uber experience, I am lucky enough to have polite and accomdating drivers till date but I know many people have faced similar issues. But I wont comment more on that because I believe every problem can be solved in a diplomatic manner without the need for rudeness.

Anyway bitcoin use in Uber/airbnb can only be if the provider is going to accept it. It might be nice to ask the driver if they are accepting bitcoin or not when starting the ride, in case they fumble just give them cash or kind.

But still bitcoin transaction will take time and often we are in a hurry to pay and leave and linger by the cab. So it does not seem feasible unless the lightning network in brought in place. Grin
4710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How long will Bounty hunters continue to be helpless? on: June 06, 2020, 05:45:26 AM
I won't put the blame on the team if they denied bounty hunters their rewards, that is Bounty Manager's job,
You have no idea what you are talking about. The manager is only a facilitator or a middle man involved in managing the campaign. If the team does not pay or wish to pay, the manager is having their hand tied to pay the hunters.

If you want to blame someone blame yourself for joining that campaign and the temptation for free money. Cheesy

Quote
BM is the only law standing between bounty hunters and the team of that project, it's why I prefer joining bounties from a bounty manager with good rep, as a good BM he or she must do everything in his/her power to make sure bounty participants get their rewards
LOL this type of self-entitlement is what makes the bounty hunters arrogant and illogical.

Also know that many managers have paid out from their own pocket just because they were denied payment by the team as an act of goodwill because the manager also felt bad for the hunters. Roll Eyes

Dont even talk about anything related to legal, coin offering are anyway not legalized securities and so you are at your own risk on buying them or earning them in the case of bounty hunters.
4711  Economy / Securities / Re: Dividents/Stocks on: June 05, 2020, 12:55:40 PM
OP, whatever you invest in do not go for the "passive income" system that NEXO or Celsius and now defunct SALT Lending had started. Basically you cannot trust them with your money while you can trust your money on bitcoin itself. Why hand it over to another lending platform like them to manage when they are giving your money like bank deposit when you can invest in other legally compliant sectors?

I can see some shills here promoting them but I hope you will do your own research on them before going in.

On the other hand stock market is at least regulated and are legal securities if you know what you can put your money into. You should diversfy your assets there instead of buying shitcoins. Bitcoin is the only crypto that you would need to keep from this sector, forget about the rest and any other "staking"/bullshit promises.
4712  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Mellow ads accept advertisements from Bitcoin doubler websites on: June 05, 2020, 07:33:22 AM
Since the time when faucets went "down", one due to stopping of Google Ads and second due to the rise of bitcoin price above the three digit number, the crypto-niche Ad companies have faced problem in having a steady flow traffic and money.

baztardo has been away for 3years now. I dont think there will be any response from them after this long time, but people need to be careful as to what they are putting their money in. Opinion is divided among whether promoting a scam is equal to scamming, while I go for this option, many dont.

When I used their site back in 2016, I remember the "no Adult/HYIP/casino" while posting an ad, not sure if it is still applicable. Got some good number of referrals back then on some sites.
4713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep a spreadsheet for you wins and losses for tax purposes? on: June 05, 2020, 05:48:03 AM
Some states made games like lotteries as illegal but other than that online betting platforms are still legal there and even many sports events in India is sponsored by those service providers.
See there are loopholes in every system and they exploit those to cover up their business. If you have the urge to gamble then dont worry, you will also find a place to gamble. Take for example the Delta group who runs a monopoly business there with their offshore casino ship in Goa. The rules say "no land-based casino" - so they used it as a loophole and built a casino on water. Search for it and you will find to too.

tax is indeed an obligation but not in all countries have strict rules, maybe in your country, you must record your wins and losses in the spreadsheet for tax purposes, you are very tax-obedient
One of the reason why bitcoin is used is for them to evade the taxes, like it or not. But governments earn from taxation so you have to comply or face consequences in many countries. Bitcoin is still a grey area and so they are likely not getting enforced. But best to keep a track so that in case it becomes taxable you can back up yourself.
4714  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Coinbase? Someone made a profit? on: June 05, 2020, 05:43:13 AM
Have you used coinbase?
Coinbase is a wallet. They also provide exchange service.

Quote
Is the site secure?
I cant vouch for that because there is not end to taking precautions when it comes to money but if you want to keep full control of your coins you should use your desktop wallets where you are in charge of your private keys and not a third party.

Quote
Can you make money here or is it a waste of time?
Who said you can make money there? The wallet is for storing coins and exchange is for trading the coins. Now if you are asking about making money from trading that is another topic. Also I have seen coinbase giving out some airdrops previously but dont go for those in long term, because they are shitcoin, dont hold them. Sell them as soon as you get any. But it has reduced now.

Just a word of caution: if you have been told by someone that they will make money for you and asking you to send money for any reason, its a scam.
4715  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty- Waste of resources? on: June 05, 2020, 05:36:55 AM
what makes it more complicated is the team, we can never understand what plan they actually have for a particular project,
Team has to develop the project and bring it out to be used. Of course these projects have failed successively because never had any proper project to go after in the first place. But people did not understand that. More so the developers of the teams have often been forced to work, not sure if they have revolted any time too but I have seen many projects fire their devs and hire new devs.

Quote
but really some bounty project came out and do something interesting, proving many wrong, this is why I don't underestimate any new project
That hope you have is going to be bad. If you want to make profit from this market you have to be emotionless. You have to stop investing in shitcoin projects because they are not legal securities and focus on bitcoin only. Bounties are a way of taking part in the project but 100% of them are failures so whats the point on waiting on it that one fine day you will find a huge value bounty?
4716  Local / India / Re: Are Crypto traders willing to trade for others ? on: June 04, 2020, 10:33:06 AM
If you have a trusted friend in a country where bitcoin has been used very commonly as a mode of transaction you will find such deals going on.

That trusted person would use a different payment system to send back the currency after the trade. It is all a big system of trust because of the problem that bitcoin faces.

But yes it can be a good system of earning money but you need to careful of few things here:

1. Trust building which is the basis of the system.
2. Managing your finances and accounting, basically how much is coming in and how much is going out.
3. Always pay your taxes and its better if you talk to a laywer first on whether you need to register yourself as a business, I am not very knowledgeable about this though, but it seems the safer way.
4. Fraudstars who will send tainted funds and asking you to exchange. As soon as that money becomes fiat currency, you are in trouble from authorities. This is a big problem that can happen and have severe consequences.

Besides if you doing a small cap brokerage for friends and family you should not face much problems.

Not sure how much job opportunities it will open, first thing we need is more users of crypto in the first place then comes the brokers not the other way round.
4717  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trade & investment is getting harder and harder. on: June 04, 2020, 05:24:53 AM
If you don't feel confident enough now, use small capital to test your thoughts. We need to be more patient about learning.
Practice makes perfect in most places of skilled work but not always in trading; it can increase your chances of making profits but there is nothing called perfect in risk vs reward schemes.

that's what makes investing so difficult, friend. however, many projects do the same pattern, after success, and list to several markets, they leave their project, and the worst is, because of its success, many try to follow the path they take, so many successful but disappointing projects. even for those who do research, sometimes they also get caught up in such investments.
Well those projects are always doomed from the beginning. Those who are taking part in their offering are taking a huge risk in the first place and they often dont know the risks properly and only came in due to FOMO from another user. Thats who Coin offerings became so hyped and people lost money in them.

In reality we only need to trade on bitcoin, any altcoin becomes a liability of loss in the long term as we have seen from the charts and general development on any so called project.
4718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to improve the usability of bitcoin? on: June 04, 2020, 05:20:16 AM
This is what will expose it to customers and clients who know nothing about Bitcoin.
Its not that easy as it sounds. We have so many mainstream competitions like Apple, Gpay and others who are willing to take part in high speed secure transactions system development and have working products for such transactions.

Try comparing those with bitcoin and you will see a big difference. I am hopeful that with time bitcoin usage will increase too but that will not happen overnight but rather slowly and gradually.

Still you cant force people to use something. You need to show them what they are missing out and why it can be helpful. Only them bitcoin adoption will rise apart from the fact that governments may crack down on its usage then it becomes a no-go.

If there was such an unfailing method, that person would have rekt the entire market and become a millionaire - is it not? Use your common sense, OP if you have any left. If someone told you what you have said then they lied and are trying to scam you and on top of that you are trying to scam others by taking their money.

Going through your post history you are shady as anything. Promoting telegram groups that you have no idea about and telling people to go for binary options. Just say the truth, that person whom you talk about it none but your imaginary friend. Cheesy

One word of advice, if you want to get paid creating content you need to work hard on that. Stop trying to join every bounty and learn how this forum works first.
4720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep track of your gambling? how? on: June 03, 2020, 04:58:50 AM
Gambling does not assured us of any returns and chance of losing money is very high .
It varies with the game but yes generally speaking it is loss for the player and thats why the casino is standing tall.

Quote
On other side if invested rightly in crypto or in other asset would yield you returns in coming time . Gambling is a quick way to lose money or make it and this shortcut does not work for all . On other side investment is generally for long term which will give you returns in a systematic manner .
Not all investments are good for continuous flow of money. In fact those which have a steady income are generally the low risk ones and thus a low reward one too. The fact that penny stocks can go very high is why they are day traded like anything.

Gambling is a method to entertain yourself by "paying" in with the wagered amount. It should be thought as that and not a mode of making money because then one becomes hell bent on thinking that they can win big and this leads to losses. You can keep track of losses or wins with a spreadsheet here but even then the value of losses will be bigger than wins in the long run of any EV- game.

Some players are going for the EV+ games and those who are doing sports betting or poker professionally may end up having a better outcome. Again these games are not for everyone.
