Lol everybody has their own strategy and I find it always interesting to see results of other people that have saved their spins.

Truth be told, I don't have any strategy as such when it comes to the free rolls.  I get five per day and allow them to bank up for a few days (not more than a week at a time - usually) as I'm not online as much as people might think.  When I do roll, it's interesting to see how few of one or the other prizes there are, or, conversely, how many of one prize or another there are each time.

If I win enough bitcoin from these banked rolls to buy another 100 FUN tokens, I do so and add to my 365 day investment.  (It'll be interesting in about eleven months time to see what people do with their FUN tokens)
I pretend to continue holding FUN tokens and lock them for another 365 days time period if Freebitco.in keeps the currently benefits bonus program for holders. I'm not too worried about FUN's price because what has been worthing so far are the advantages we have inside the site by holding these coins and not their value specifically. Since it remains like this it will be fine.

At least in my case the strategy they used to incentivize people to hold instead of selling worked. Now let's see if another investors will have the same mindset.

However, as Ronaldo is a dedicated player who value his performance excellency, it's expected he can stay fit even after 40 years old, still offering a decent contribution to any teams he might play for. I think it's too early yet for him to make a decision like that. On the other hand, it's also speculated that Ronaldo wants to leave the national team with a perfect rating on his history and if he keeps playing for longer, there is some risk his performance may drop considerably due to his age and physical limitations it implies.

You are implicating yourself  Smiley
A vibrant young useless player might even be more useful than he would be at that age  Grin wack.!
Already he's diminshing greatly in form, I'd even advise him not to play the 2022 world cup because that would be the beginning of a worthless debut.
The Ronaldo i knew 10 years ago could dribble pass three people in a row, but now he barely goes face to face with a player to dribble
I think you are exaggerating. He can do better than a young useless player despite his age. Cheesy
And actually, as @KTChampions pointed in another post, Portugal doesn't have many options to compose their national team right now. There is a clear lack of key players that may force the federation to insist in Ronaldo for more few years. It might be bad with him, but worse without him.

The only thing that's fetching him goals is his positioning.; He's always waiting at the right spot for the ball to get across,his height too.
A player who knows how to position well is already a valuable strategical advantage for the team.
4863  Economy / Gambling / Re: Best Site for Gambling? on: October 18, 2021, 06:09:39 AM
are there any gamblers who play high limits and always manage to withdraw their winnings from betting crypto sites?
because even reading the A tier I find that often the winnings are not paid and money get blocked and I don't know which one to trust.
I don't hear such complainments about most casinos promoted here. Only few casinos have a bad reputation and when that is the case, there are lots of threads with accusations and proof inside against them. Avoid those casinos and always follow the rules of the online casinos you are going to play. Doing this you should be fine to withdraw any amounts of money and keep your account clean.

But keep in mind gambling isn't an assurance of growing your bankroll (it's not an investment or work). Sometimes people think they are supposed to win, otherwise the casino is scamming them, and that is a very wrong mindset.

It reminds me candle sellers were against electricity because they would lose their jobs if the world adopted a better technology, what inevitably happened anyway and these people had to find alternative ways to work for a living. That is the normal as things are constantly evolving and something that is a necessity now won't be necessary anymore when we find a more efficient method to fulfill that same objective.
What shouldn't happen is to stop evolving because some people can't adapt themselves to changes in life.

People who act corporately are blind by their own selfish that they can't see the benefits they could also have by adopting green sources of energy.

Such protests may have a short term impact, but it won't block the inevitable. If something is ineffective compared to something else, then no matter how much the supporters protest, it can't be held afloat for too long. In the end, it is up to the consumers to decide whether he or she want to use it or not. The only option left here is to improve the efficacy or make it more affordable. Else, the alternative will gain acceptance. Now you can't force the people to use a commodity which is more expensive and unaffordable compared to the alternative.
I suppose you mean the renewable sources of energy are expensive if compared to their efficiency, right?

And that is actually true, because there isn't incentive from the government to make people adopt it. There isn't any governmental propaganda to educate people regards this matter. Moreover, most equipments to set the solar system up come from another countries (they are imported), making them very expensive. The government shouldn't charge any taxes on this, because it's something we don't have access in our country and could be even considered basic need goods. As it couldn't become worse, congressmen are already passing a law to create a tax over solar energy production, so people who supply their homes with renewable energy will have to keep paying taxes to the government anyway.

The same could be said about the electrical cars which are still scarce and very expensive if compared to the traditional alcohool or gasoline cars.

However, despite all difficulties and sabotages it may still worth the investment on long run. To reach to a conclusion it's needed to get a quote of how much the solar system costs to supply your house, and next you calculate if a loan is a good idea. Sometimes the loan monthly parcel is the same amount of money you pay to your energy provider right now.
4865  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you quit Bitcoin if a shitcoin like Ethereum surpassed it? on: October 17, 2021, 09:08:22 PM
So to the point: Would you quit if a centralized shitcoin managed to surpass Bitcoin in marketcap? At that point it would be clear that entire space is a joke. Bitcoin would still march on as usual, but it would be just sad to see people putting their money on shitcoins rather than on the only actually decentralized blockchain worth anything.
I wouldn't quit because I trust in bitcoin's potential on long run. Even though it becomes obsolete at some point, it will still carry value for collectors as rarity because bitcoin is scarce, limited and the only original crypto currency among all.

At same time it doesn't mean ethereum is a shitcoin. It has the status we see nowadays for a reason and after so many years of existence, side by side with bitcoin, it's not possible to say eth's success is only due to greedy pump/dump speculative or scam schemes. There are legit professionals developing their projects through eth platform and trying to improve it even more. If ethereum were all about hype, speculation and scams it would be already dead by now and replaced by another crypto currency.

Since it's a bitcoin forum where crypto virtual casinos are heavily promoted, I think it is the natural answer, especially because people here probably want to pay in crypto currency and then online casinos are the only possible option.

On the other hand, everyone in doubt about this matter should go to a land based casino and play at virtual casinos as well, so they could reach to a final conclusion by themselves. It's not possible for others to tell what is going to be more entertaining for you, as each one of use have very personal preferences regard different matters.

But if you want hints and suggestions you need to be more specific on what you are looking from a casino experience. Is it cheap bets, vip treatment, socialization with people around, promotions, diversity of games... ?
4867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Initiation. on: October 17, 2021, 06:28:45 PM
I meant unregulated gambling, where casinos can easily get away if they lose a huge sum of money.
I'm not saying that every casino will do it but most will and people's inward desire to try new things will somehow drag them to these casinos.
At first I thought by "uncensored" gambling you meant no age restriction. But now you made it clear.

Due to the reason pointed above regulations offer some benefits to gamblers, especially from the safety point of view. A regulated casino registered somewhere can't fade away in any hypothesis, as it will be tracked and the responsible ones for the casino's operation held accountable for their wrongdoings. I believe that is an important factor for a gambler when choosing a site where to play, especially if he is going to deposit large sums of money.
4868  Economy / Economics / Re: Steam bans blockchain games on: October 17, 2021, 05:45:51 PM
There's still a blockchain game in Steam, Mir4. But the twist is there's no more reward from playing it. So if somebody who looks for a play to earn game in Steam and finds Mir4. It's no longer the same as before and this update made them remove the reward system if you're launching the game through Steam. That's why they have a separate client and launching if you're going to play this game. I don't play this game, I've just read it in different forums when I've seen this update.
Too bad, just as I was about to play it because I was intrigued of the earning aspect of the game. Then again I think the game works well on its own even without the earning feature and as long as items are marketable, people could still make money from it by selling such items on the marketplace much like how DOTA 2 item sets work. That way even without the intervention of blockchain or cryptocurrency, there's still some money earning aspect the game has and its players could enjoy.
Just download it directly from the official website, forget about Steam. Players are having a lot of issues when using Steam as middleman to play MIR4. I've seen many issues with accounts being banned and purchased packages not arriving in the accounts when playing through Steam. Playing directly from the official launcher there isn't any issues.

However the game is infested with bots, hackers and the most toxic kinds of players you can expect from an online game. It's the most complete blockchain game so far though, and worth a try.

The problem is that there are people defending against green energy for ... no reason at all. Those are the problems, we are having that type of problem that people who will not make any profit at all from this end up defending. I understand if you are working in oil world then you would defend it and that would be something very important for you since if you lose then you are losing your job as well.

4870  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How do you buy physical items anonymously with Bitcoin? on: October 17, 2021, 12:32:01 AM
I dont know where you are based Macadonian but what about a Post Office Box,
a box number which doesnt reveal your identity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_office_box

Does this office boxes really help to stay anonymous? You still need to fill some basic information about yourself when renting a box. Even if you fill form with fake data and pay in cash, there are still cameras all around in post institutions. It will just take some time to identify a person from a video with a real person.

Anyway, this is actually a good question Macadonian asked. How to hide real delivery address, when you anonymously purchase something? How to do it without causing other people troubles?
Anonymous towards who exactly? By collecting the package at the post office instead of receiving it at home address you protect your privacy towards the seller, but there is no way to cover your identity from the post office system.

I understand why someone would want to hide himself from the seller, especially when dealing with unknown people on the internet without any backgrounds, but I see no reason to avoid being identified by the post office agents, unless the buyer is doing something wrong.

By the way, I haven't heard anything about Ronaldo's retirement from the national team after the 2022 World Cup, was there any news?

Quote
Cristiano Ronaldo has said he will retire from international football after the 2022 World Cup, by which time he is almost certain to have broken more records, including becoming the standalone leading goal scorer in international football -- he is currently tied on 109 with former Iran forward Ali Daei.
Will Ronaldo pass the baton to Erling Haaland?

However, as Ronaldo is a dedicated player who value his performance excellency, it's expected he can stay fit even after 40 years old, still offering a decent contribution to any teams he might play for. I think it's too early yet for him to make a decision like that.

People in Venezuela are looking for another ways to trade with each other that don't include their national currency, bolívar, that is one of the most devalued of the world, together with boliviano currency from Bolivia and real currency from Brazil. I believe what we see now in Venezuela is just the beginning, soon the entire latin america with rare exceptions will be using bitcoin for daily transactions, so people can preserve the value of their money.

(Last year, announcements of fast food chains like Burguer King accepting bitcoin as payment method in Venezuela were spread across the internet, so as we can see the idea of the airport adopting the crypto currency must have came from somewhere...)

The highest price of fuel will lead the world to destruction instead of fossil fuels nuclear energy can easily be promoted as an alternative energy source after the chernoby and fukushima accidents, most people are instinctively considering nuclear power to be dangerous, making it quite unpopular now. Germany and japan have shut down many nuclear power plants since the fukushima accident. Which greatly endangers the habitation of our planet nuclear power is a good option.
People are only looking to the devastation but not in the advantage and the good effect , this is the problem why we are still in trouble of energy when there are other sources .
Nuclear power made some mistakes and people drying , but what about those people who extend their lives because of the energy from nuclear?
and besides our world now is getting advanced so yes we can prevent such mistakes in the past by doing the right thing now.
If there are safer sources of energies like solar and wind, why to keep risking ourselves with nuclear energy? As everyone know it's too dangerous and nobody can predict an accident, it just happens, and once it happens there isn't anything to do besides regretting the actions which lead to that.

Green energy could be already supplying everyone, but it's not interesting for the small group who rules the world as they profit from the precariousness, so it's definitely not going to happen soon. That would be the ideal, because people would be finally autonomous in energy production paying very low costs to supply their homes and to fuel their vehicles.

For me the 5 extra WOF spins bonus on every roll was great. I claimed around 10-12 times during the day and collected 5559 (satoshis and RPs added, as I consider them equal, on the other hand I didn't take lottery tickets in consideration on the calculation). 3060 RPs was the package's price, so it gives me a 2499 profit without any difficult. And actually I felt myself unlucky on this one, because the good prizes took some time to show up.

I'm going to try it again in a few days and would like to hear others' reviews as well to compare statistics.
4875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Bitcoin stands to gain when the government prints more currencies on: October 16, 2021, 12:37:30 AM
The uprise of bitcoin evidences the lack of trust investors and common citizens have on governments as a whole nowadays. Nobody who has basic knowledge in finances rely their investmets in fiat currencies anymore, because they know on long run their patrimony is going to devaluate if they do this.

Fiat became a dangerous business and from now on, after the pandemic, we don't know how accelerated inflation is going to be due to the continuous interference governments have been doing on the financial system, in a desperate attempt to convince investors everything is under control and their respective countries are profitably safe for investments.

Politics has become the art of deceitfulness and spots that should be technical inside the governments are now totally occupied by politics, including ministries of economy. As they only worry about short-run goals (to win elections), they only have short-run solutions in mind, which are harmful futurely. The issues we see now are just the tip of the iceberg, but thankfuly bitcoin has been already identified as a possible solution.
4876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: have you ever play or won from a crypto exchange lottery? on: October 15, 2021, 04:26:06 PM
I don't have experience winning from a crypto exchange lottery because that is too difficult for me and it will cost huge money to buy a lot of tickets. Besides that, winning from that lottery needs to compete with other people who also want to win the prizes so they can use more money to buy more tickets and that will be more difficult for us to win. The luck factor will be important here because the winner must have the luck to win. Otherwise, he will lose the money to buy the ticket.
I've seen many people winning the lottery with few tickets if compared to another competitors who had a lot more. So I think you shouldn't worry about having less tickets than someone else, because among so many competitors you will still have decent chances like anyone of them.

When playing the lottery it seems many tickets don't mean too much, as it ends being expensive to purchase them, while the tickets sum of all other participants will be always massively superior to yours. It's purely a game of luck and I suppose one of the hardest games to manipulate the final fate through long or short run strategies.
4877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: AXS and SLP. Why the price of SLP is falling but AXS is rising? on: October 15, 2021, 07:22:44 AM
With such taxes it only worths to cashout SLPs few times a year. It's terrible, because these costs totally freeze trading opportunities. There might be a crash or a sudden rise in price and you can't sell, because it's necessary to pay 85$-90$ in fees just to send the potions to Metamask, what will fully compromises the profit to be made.
Didn't you keep update with the latest news? Majority of people are withdrawing their SLP, AXS and WETH through ronin dex instead of converting it to be ERC20 asset. I rarely seen people were using ERC20 asset anymore. When you're withdrawing through ronin and it consumes 0 fees. Im always withdrawing my SLP through ronin to the binance. The fees was not relevant anymore to prevent the price of SLP to rise but inflation does it.
I'm not familiar with this method yet. I still withdraw from Ronin to Metamask with huge intervals of time to dilute taxes. The another option I'm aware is that you can sell SLP through P2P transaction only using Ronin, what is risky. Actually I've been playing alone and don't have anybody else to chat and exchange some valuable informations like this one you mentioned, so unfortunatelly I'm behind in some aspects of the game.

Well, since there aren't any fees I'm going to check my Binance account to generate a SLP address and test this another method. Thanks for sharing.

The problem is inflation can be even higher than this time when more players coming only for grinding. There must be a very restriction to make people will be earning SLP when it reaches high level of AXIES.
It's hard to keep inflation under control. It seems the best they can do is to burn many SLPs as possible using different monetization sources to do so. Axie's developers could sell cosmetic items, physical products, create revenue from gambling tournaments and so on... This way part of the total profit would be used to control inflation.

But like in any other online multiplayer game there must be always something new (updates, items, scenarios, features), so people will never stop spending on it and there will be always a flux of money going in.

Rumors of a sell-off at FC Barcelona are growing.
Quote
1.35 billion euros in debt: FC Barcelona's economic situation "worrying" and "dramatic"

Gerard Pique has agreed to plays for a lower salary. Other players as Sergi Roberto, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets also agree to plays for a other salary. The club's salary to expensive why they were unable to extend Lionel Messi's contract. And other clubs are hoping for a good deal. Maybe Bayern Munich make a move on these Barca stars… Marc-André ter Stegen?


It depends on which type of debt is it.
For example, even spurs are over 1 billion in debts but the most part is a long-term loan for the stadium.

I don't know the debt of Barca but some money is for sure for the stadium in long term.


Also if the are going to sell players for this reason their price will be reduced since everyone will know that they need to sell.
This article from August presents the justification of Barcelona's president, Joan Laporta:

Quote
The club’s debt included almost 390 million euros ($460 million) related to player salaries, Laporta said. More than 670 million euros ($790 million) was debts with banks, while some 40 million euros ($47 million) was linked to membership losses. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic was 91 million euros ($107 million), he said.
Barcelona’s president says club’s debt now at $1.6 billion

The pandemic hurted soccer clubs' income in general and I think it couldn't be the main reason to explain why Barcelona exclusively is in huge debt right now.
It seems you are right in your guess because the debt with banks (the higher one) may be related to expenses with their stadium, what is really surprising as it reaches to an amount superior to all another debts' added.

Moreover, currently president of Barcelona blames the previous administration for the financial issue the club is facing right now, while being criticized by the fan base for not doing enough effort to keep Messi on the team.

It must not be so popular because it's hard to understand at first impression. So much informations on the table can be quite confusing for most people, however I'm sure if a dedicated expert person takes his time to explain the game to a newbie during a game session it can be understood fastly, like most gambling games. Thanks for bringing Sic Bo to the discussion.

Very nice new features added, especially the extra WOF spins for every faucet roll. I guess it's pretty possible to make some decent profit if you are an active faucet user with extra 5 spins per roll. Looks enough to cover the 3,060 RPs investment plus some profit. From my experience 20 spins are already enough to make more than 3,060 RPs, unless the rates were changed with the new update. Anyway I'm going to give it a try right now.
