4941  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading, gambling and binary options. Which one you prefer? on: March 19, 2020, 07:42:28 PM
I want to say that the problem you faced earlier by jumping up and down different carrier or business is the reason that people in trading businesses don't succeed. They fear losses but don't want to do the right thing by cutting down on risk levels. You can do all of you have knowledge but if not, we can still to the one aspect we have trained ourselves to understand or we quit.
You have been able to put yourself into one aspect and that is good for you.
Knowledge is the most valuable aspect of day to day activities of every person but greed/buzz can jeopardize everything if not put in check.
What I'm trying to say is that having knowledge about something is not enough if ones don't have control over his emotion, affection, buzz and greed level because these are what always leads to the loss of people in the crypto world including the highly experienced investors.

To be honest, I don’t consider gambling as a good source of income.  For me, the most feasible direction for generating income is daily cryptocurrency trading.  Of course, there are certain risks, but nevertheless I know what I trade and what I own.  But this is a separate topic for discussion.  I have never dealt with binary options, but based on individual user reviews, I am afraid of this activity.  It seems to me that putting money into binary options is not a purchase of an asset, but an investment in a binary broker, on which your profit depends.  In other words, you do not own anything at all.
Binary options is just some sort of gambling imho yet you would need to guess on the price either lower or higher on the amount you had entered.
The difference here is that you do able to analyze the charts when predicting prices compared when you do totally gamble up on random basis.
Gambling is never been considered as a viable source of income but rather for entertainment but people do treat on other way that why theyve been
hooked in addiction and in result to loss of money.

Avoid crowded place as much as we can to stay safe from the virus.
Luckily we who only play at online casino doesn't have to worry and stop from gambling.
If others who have been gambling on casino would found out about our online gambling sites this could help the market to grow up again
But of course we have to wait for this virus to be cured before seeing it happen.
It's a good way for those who are involve deeply from this activities they can easily place bets and enjoy by using online platforms and no longer needed to go to the offline casinos and play the game you love.
You can see alternatives as casino online also provided games that you can find from offshores.

Nothing beats the experience when you do play on a physical casino thats why lots of people get used to play offline rather than going in front of a pc.
Yes, there are games which do being catered which is similar to physical gambling places but the ambiance and experience wont really ever be the same
thats why most of them would just prefer on not to play and just wait up for this issue to be resolved.
Now two of the biggest casinos in town are no longer open 24 hours as there are rumoured reports that a new cases of the virus has already found its way on the dealers and players itself. I'm not sure if it will be a complete shutdown though. This is really a wake up call for everyone to avoid crowded places not just casino itself and look for other ways to play like online games, so everyone need to take every precautions.

Yes, they don't want to get infected, so they close the casino, and that is a good way to prevent the virus. I think if many casinos close their business and move their business to the internet, they can get more players because many people are still trying to playing gambling from their home. That will bring more adopters if the gambling site uses crypto as the payment, so that will bring more people to know about crypto.
We cant say that they do actually switch from offline to online, it would still takes time and cant be rush.They dont have any choice but to close their business
yet its mandated due to pandemic matters.If they would oppose such decision then they will surely get some problems ahead.We know that these places
are businesses but in talks of infection then its just right to stop their operation rather than to force it.
4943  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is like day trading ? on: March 16, 2020, 10:34:57 AM
We know that day trading or short time trading is like playing with wild fire, not may can handle it. That's y most player's end up in loss and very few are successful day traders.
Is that hold true for gambling also?
  There are posts here that gambling is addiction and how to get rid of.
Are there gamblers here who are in profit overall?

You got some points but they are entirely different when it comes to risk level.Gambling is for entertainment and Trading is for long term investment they would never be the same.

The time on when trading can be considered as gamble if you do just simply trade up without any analysis or basis regarding into your buying or selling position.They do differ when you play or trade
smart and wisely.

I highly believe that there are more successful traders rather than successful gamblers.What you think?

There are actually some gamblers who do make money but most of the time or the ration is heavily obvious in talks of lossers than winners.
4944  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What To Do? (For People Who Mostly Gamble on NBA Games) on: March 15, 2020, 12:11:45 PM
@cabalism13 This is a question that came up to my mind recently.  Roll Eyes

Even other sports or eSports tournament is being canceled due to COVID-19.

Entertainment betting will do but probably some shows will also stop temporarily. The only thing that matters now is to keep safe from the virus and stay healthy, let's prioritize ourselves and relatives. For now, let's hold gambling for a little moment and wait to get rid of the virus.
This is the main priority as of now where we should at least not force ourselves to play gambling or minding that much yet we know that
we are on a crisis or panic due to this virus.We can resume our gambling activity once this pandemic would be resolved soon.I can really see the
scope of affected things with this situation not only on gambling industry but also on other areas as well. This wont really be applicable on NBA
alone but in all sorts of sports that do involve some crowd and somehow we can play other games as well online.


So what do you do nex?,  now that NBA has canceled some of the games this season? Will you just also  get a hold of being a gambler for the meantime? Or try another sports?

@cabalism13 first of all you thank god that the virus hasn’t effected you, secondly you should accept that you won’t be able to bet any more on sports this season. Last and most importantly it’s not easy to give up the urge to gamble, so my advice for you would be is to find legitimate online casinos and play Dice, or blackjack or other games till the new season begins again.
There are lots of alternatives that we can find online when in talks of gambling online casinos.It might crossed out those sports events
or betting but if we do really seek up for entertainment then there are lots of luck-based ones.If it doesnt fit out your interest
then you can simply just stop and wait for those things to come back.

This is good for the crypto gambling world ...
[snip]
You're right and people do believe thats how it work when in talks of online casino where they do directly think of about crypto gambling online without even
knowing first that there were digital fiat online casinos for the time being or been a while.So they wont be sure if they switch to crypto or would just simply
jumped in into traditional gambling online for temporary basis until this issue or epidemic would be resolved.
Who knows? Don't be so negative, this is our of getting more adopters so why not Grin. You've a got a point tho but chances for them to shift of at least try cryptocurrency as their form of bet while gambling is big especially if the online site they used have that kind of option. Besides, lots crypto gambling sites spread all over the Internet so it's impossible for you that you won't encounter one while searching where you play.
You cant tell because not all people will able to encounter crypto thing online unless if they do able to read it up somewhere on some links which would
awaken up their curiosity towards it.Im not really that too positive in regards to that but for sure there are some who would take some check and might
able to try it up later on.Not all are internet tech savvy which if they do find it complicated then they will surely choose fiat tx online instead.



Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.
Some cities are having a lockdown and it's a good opportunity for online gambling sites to promote online gambling to gamblers in these cities, but with the way things are going, they prefer to watch what's going on around them than spend time gambling online, we are on a watching mode waiting if this epidemic will have a cure or just go away.
Being optimistic, It will decrease in physical but will increase in digital. More people will adopt the use of online gambling and will use cryptocurrency for betting. It is the rise of online gambling and the right time to make promotions on their platform to get more users and investors.

Getting attached to each other is already forbidden, one of the precautionary measures to avoid Covid-19. So that means, casino gambling is not recommended in this situation where the virus is very active.

It is indeed a chance now for online gambling business since they do know that those physical casinos had been close or temporary unavailable due to this
current pandemic situation of covid-19.They will surely use up that advantage to get more users or customers neither on crypto gambling sites or
to those traditional fiat ones.Hopefully that this issue would be resolved soon and everything would go back to normal.
4946  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: COVID-19 and its effect in Gambling World on: March 09, 2020, 11:46:54 PM

This is good for the crypto gambling world ...

I think most of the gamblers at physical casinos will not transfer to crypto gambling if ever they will plan to have limited exposure to the physical casinos due to the virus.

There are lots of online casinos outside crypto and they will consider playing on that instead. A digital form of gambling but not crypto. I think some got confused about when it says online casino vs physical casinos wherein online means crypto. That's not how it is.

And I'm sure this virus isn't a threat yet, these gamblers are already playing at online casinos before.
You're right and people do believe thats how it work when in talks of online casino where they do directly think of about crypto gambling online without even
knowing first that there were digital fiat online casinos for the time being or been a while.So they wont be sure if they switch to crypto or would just simply

4947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you stop gambling in a time of crisis? on: March 09, 2020, 06:46:37 PM
Guys, in moments such this we are living, with a crisis just ahead of all of us, do you stop gambling?

In my case I have to admit that I will stop for a while.
When I see some crisis or a decrease of my salary (I have my own business), I immediately cut some stuff and gamble are one of the first I stop, like going out and trips too

So, what's your opinion?

Its just a normal thing or reaction for a human being to do when you are already experiencing some crisis or shortage when it comes to financial aspect.Of course i would definitely cut out expense and gambling would be the main to be crossed out knowing that this activity does really consume much more compared to others.Honestly its better to stop it on early stage and wont wait for a crisis yet its better for those amounts to be saved for your future living or needs.If you do have the money then it isnt bad to spend  a little bit for gambling but dont go overboard yet things can be wrecked up in shortest time as possible if you do let your addiction controls you.
Stop while you can and this doesnt only applied on gambling but also into your habit on buying up things which isnt really that needed or simply talks about "WANTS".
4948  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: My wish for bounty projects that seem impossible on: March 08, 2020, 03:44:19 AM
The project needs to be developed at the first stage, so it's difficult for them to pay bounty rewards with bitcoin or ETH. They should use that money to develop projects and attract more investors. That is the best strategy for new projects
You are right but it isnt really bad to consider on putting a few allocation of btc or eth into marketing side but as said they dont care that much since they do need the money for development but come to think that it
isnt really that big when we do talk about scope of budget or just simply they dont like to waste up those accumulated funds for market but solely for developing the project if theyre legit but if they are fraud since from the start then its just foolish step for them to give out on what they are tending to scam.  Cheesy
4949  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading, gambling and binary options. Which one you prefer? on: March 08, 2020, 01:19:02 AM
I prefer trading to gambling and binary options because it's a good and profitable domain despite the fact that there is reoccurring risks involved I can tell that it's pretty much better than gambling and binary options gambling on the other hand I see it as a deadly form of disease because  if a gambler loses and couldn't control his emotions he may end up committing  series of crime it's risky is way greater than the  others here
Binary options is not for me I found it more complicated which I cannot long on using it before. Still, I prefer also trading as long as you know how to manage your risks. This is the problem in gambling some cannot control his emotions that turn into losses.
Everyone has their own cons and pros. Even some might treat binary options as their whole and sole source of income as they might even make great profits from that. But for us traders, we always find major profits in trading as we have experience in this field.

Not each of us might be having same thought and that is the reason why there are a number of platforms available with cryptocurrencies to start earning our wages. I never think about gambling as it have never served me with profits but major times I only had loss perhaps only because gambling is not meant for me. We should understand where we would fit in and start giving our best in the selected field.
For me both are really good to get earn particularly in trading but there's a thing traders should to especially to those newbie they should know how to monitor the market because this is the only tool can help them to know if its good to trade or not. Trading, gambling and binary are helpful to get earn but before doing this need a knowledge and they have skilled too.

Trading- Skills and experience
Gambling-  Pure luck
Binary options- A mix of both things.


Therefore, i can say that their entirely different when it comes to money earning or profits.Preference will vary if you do
seek for entertainment or just aiming for long term aspects.
4950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters and Investors, Who values Cryptocurrencies More? on: March 07, 2020, 11:56:45 PM
Lol the answer is clear, we all know that bounty hunters only want to dump and make quit bucks and investors want to make profits too but they can hold longer than bounty hunters, to say the truth they both want the same thing,
Are you sure? Why not try to look back on whats the percentage of bounty tokens allocation compared to investors itself? The main dumpers are the investors itself and im not really surprised that bounty hunters do always took the blame.

So far ICO now is almost dead and i dont know if there are still who do trust up these things yet we know on how this market comes a mess for after all of these years.

We dont need anymore projects that are just similar to each other using up the same platform.Most of them are trash or useless.
4951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you ever lost access to your Bitcoins? on: March 07, 2020, 11:22:30 PM
What I have experieced is that,

The time when I decided to save enough bitcoin in my desktop wallet. Since I am confident that I am the only one who's using my PC, I only save my private key on the notepad. After the time goes by, my PC suddenly gets blue screen of death, yes, a sudden issue with my computer's hardware or what. I got worried since I don't have any back up information for my wallet, and unfortunately I cannot access my wallet anymore after I fixed my PC.
Oh that's very unfortunate but I believe that if you had hardware problems and had blue screen issue then you should have contacted specialist because there is no way you would be loosing your data because of a hardware issue. Another thing you could have done was to eject your hard disk and just use it on another computer and save that file. But anyways things gone are gone and hindsight is always useless.

For me, I have never faced access issues but I have lost a bad number of bitcoins in exchanges that have turned scam or got hacked like the recent one is cryptopia, I don't know what happened to them.

It just really a simple problem when it comes to hardware aspects in talks of pc  yet there are harddrive recovery services out there even the entire OS had been reformatted it can still possibly retreive it back unless if the failure do affect hdd directly (burn etc.)

Losing access can be in various ways and in my part i have lots my coins due to exchange hack too which is unfortunate but well that one do give out some lesson that never ever store your coins on
exchange wallets.
4952  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this time to Sell altcoins before BTC Halving on: March 07, 2020, 10:48:17 PM
why do you have to sell Altcoins? I think it would not hurt if you hold both of them and that's can produce benefits 2x fold. but if you don't have money and want to exchange all your Altcoins for BTC then I think that's not a problem either because BTC remains a promising investment in the future. this is not the time to sell but HODL and BUYING.

Because he is obviously expecting that when halving happens, Bitcoin will boom. Many alts will ride the wave for sure, but some will wilt as well and it's better to have 1 sure thing in your hand than 2 that of which only 1 is a sure thing. Holding doens't always work for alts as most of us can attest.
Nothing is assured when we do talk about the future.The market can either go along with the hype or would just simply go to opposite ways if we do talk about Alts price.We cant really tell if this time they would correlate or go along with btc price or would go to the opposite way.Its a matter of risk handling on a certain individual.

If you can see the advantage on your side then why not but as said i would choose up on having some alts in my stash yet you arent only focusing on single, just be sure not to go all in and split
on several top alts.
4953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would You Rent A Car With Bitcoin? on: March 06, 2020, 11:59:40 PM
If there’s a good option like this then why not, beside this is the purpose of bitcoin and we should not just hold bitcoin, sometimes its better to use it and enjoy it. I do rent a car for some business rides before so I think I will use this feature one day if its already available in my place.
Same here why wont accept it if adoption is already taking place?

As long it do concerns about payments and being considered with traditional businesses then its already counted for a good one.Of course i would much prefer on having this option
rather than on seeing fiat alone.

The question is, would these business owners will consider it out?
4954  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 2020 start of a fresh market for crypto. on: March 06, 2020, 08:36:37 PM
there is a possibility that Bitcoin will recover, thereby impacting traders to start providing stock so they don't miss the plane. I think this is a good step when we have seen the opportunity in front of our eyes, even though in recent months the price of Bitcoin has been very volatile, making my heart flutter. But as long as you want to be patient and not panic, all will get maximum results

If you face it, the last year and the year before last were no less plentiful on the news in the cryptocurrency environment.
Nevertheless, in the period from 2018 to 2019, when the whole market was sinking, good news appeared one by one but they had absolutely no effect on the market.

Correct, have news or doesnt have it would just be the same because all things will vary on its supporters or community itself when it comes to moving price.The only thing that differs now is that
this year do have some major news or events like halving.So it isnt new that positive sentiments would be more than on negative ones.

We have seen we do at least climbed in regards to price which is pretty good imho unlike on past years where stabilizing its price on lower lows.
We cant be sure though if upcoming halving will trigger out a bull run or would just sit still.

People hate to hear the truth, and the price they have to pay for short cut is been victim of scammers. I am waiting for him if he still wants to learn the basics of bitcoin, this I will still do for free.
Its never been has a cost on learning about bitcoin or crypto but good thing that you are telling them and giving out some of your time on educating them.
If they do neglect you out then its their choice and now their coming back just to seek out some advise? Good thing you still accept them.
Newbies do really have that common mistake which do really end up on investing to things which do offers too good to be true until
they do realize that they had made some mistake when they got scammed.
4956  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is Best Trading or Freelancing? on: March 06, 2020, 10:21:16 AM
The OP's view is objectively incorrect.

Freelancing is a method of using your skills to complete a job and get paid for it. Depends on how rare that skill is and how difficult it is to learn to get bigger pays and more frequest jobs/permanent jobs in which case it no longer remains just freelancing.

Trading is where you take the risk of the market movement to make money. It is a prediction game and if you are having some basis of buying an asset then you should be good but the risk is always there for a drop in price.

So depending on your skills either of these can be good for a certain person but does not mean one is better than the other.
They are entirely the same in terms of making money and you are right that this one will depend on your skills.Freelancing and trading do need an specific skill for you to specialize for you to be effective.

In terms of risk then we know on which one does have it more so this is a little bit of choice depending on what you are capable into.You are right that this is indeed objectively incorrect

but i do understand on what op been trying to explain.
4957  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Yobit X10 Token on: March 05, 2020, 11:58:48 PM
When would people do realize that this exchange isnt really worth for their funds to be invested specially to those projects who had been suggested or being sale out to this place.
That Yodollars do still have that issue and now we are seeing once again for another launching of IEO. Hope people are already wise enough to realize that this really be worth of.
Just amazed on how this exchange survive for this long in spite of its negative reputation.
Yobit exchange exists and will exist as long as there are stupid and greedy people in this market. those people who know how to use the greed of other people earn good money on this exchange. the system is very simple. the same with the x10 token.

Greed and ignorance are the most fundamental reasons of fraud. They do not need many people to join, just a few fat goats they have a good amount of money.
Thats why sometimes if i do read up some whines or complaints for those people who do put money on that exchange.I dont if i do feel pity or would laugh into the situation they are into.

People never ever learn if they dont experience loss and as said this had been always the common system and thats why frauds and scams do exist due to this reason.

Yobit do continue to run due to this scheme and its indeed an easy way on making money.
4958  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Security in Crypto Matters? on: March 05, 2020, 11:31:06 PM
If people are just responsible and be careful on their private keys then losing funds is lesser and also using up centralized or custodial wallets should really be avoided.

Security does matter but people do still end up on using centralized platforms either they dont have any choice or just too dependent on it.Its just a matter of
risk management and awareness about particular risk.
4959  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin a failed experiment? on: March 05, 2020, 10:39:10 PM
Today I'm thinking of selling my BTC even though it would be a big loss right now I've been with BTC a while and used to the volitility but this time I believe it's different

I was a believer in BTC and the future of crypto I believed having 1 or more BTC was a smart thing to do that many would look back in 10 to 20 years wishing they'd bought some when it was still obtainable by the regular Joe.

Now I feel that BTC will trend down hitting sub 1 dollars prices possibly even 0 over the next 12 to 18 months. the current coronavirus outbreak has been BTCs first real test and it failed hard and failed immediately. It's not a store of wealth and its failure to hold value in a economic down turn is spectacular and visible to all.  Today I think BTC is a failed experiment. What are your thoughts?

We have no problem with unbelievers like you, sell your Bitcoin and you can also leave the forum, but be sure not to look in the market after the end of this year, you will be shocked to find out that Bitcoin overcome this scenario, it has overcome the worst scenario in the past,
or you have not yet read how Bitcoin died hundreds of times before better check it here
https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/

Better to ignore these kind of people who do tell things negatively towards bitcoin without even realizing on what they are saying like failed experiment, outdated,ponzi and other lot of similar things that they can thrown on.

Bitcoin had already proven out the test of time and as mentioned it died a hundred times already and until now we have seen on how this coin being heavily supported by the crypto community.

Its true that it might be that old but still capable and still remains the king of crypto.

As of today March 4 India lift the ban on crypto, how is this going to affect crypto market? Coronavirus is still out there, is this good or not good enough?


Not caring too much into these kind of news anymore where a certain country do ban or unban crypto as they like.Yes, this one do affect full adoption but we cant really stop these countries to act according
to their jurisdiction or views/insights towards crypto.Some might consider and some will ban it(just like that).On recent news about corona virus can be transmitted thru fiat notes?
Government will not surely consider making crypto as an option but rather they would create nor used traditional e-fiat ones.What you think?
