Feedback regards FUN token investment:

After one month of investment, received interest today over locked funds relative to this period of time (462 FUN interest). I paid 0.0084 btc or 0.0086 btc, can't remember exactly for 12,500 FUN and right now my 12,962 bankroll prices 0.00557366 btc. Apparently I'm in loss!

However, the daily wheel spins rewarded by this investment, make my daily income surpass the daily bitcoin interest I would receive if I had those 0.0084-0.0086 btc in my account (84-86 satoshis daily). I'm used to earn at least 120 satoshis daily more or less with wheel (without counting those sweet 4000 satoshis or RPs prizes). So, if you are a long term investor and pick the right package, the investment worths anyway, even though FUN price keeps falling, due to the rewards from wheel.

And I expect things are going to get better yet, as bonus increasea after some period of time. For example, more 2 months and there will be an extra free spin every day, in 5 months another one and in 11 months again.

For now I'm satisfied.

Once you get enter into any gambling platform in online like this, whatever you stated here dude, for the bankroll owner of the gambling site there is no fair game play to each players to their platform whatever category of games it is. You just enumerate in which category is good to play for the players.
What do you mean by fair gameplay? If there were 50% chance winning chance splitted between players and casinos the gambling industry wouldn't exist anymore, because it wouldn't be sustainable. Games have to be profitable for the house owners, so they can maintain their activities, pay for their operational costs and make a living from it to keep offering this service to gamblers.
Actually, regardless skill or chance based games, both categories are profitable only for a small percentage of gamblers, for the reason mentioned above. While luck based games give equally winning chances for every players, skill based games give more chances only for the hardcore professional ones.

The gambling sector might not have been so easy without blockchain technology. One can participate in online gambling from different countries of the world through block-chain technology. Moreover, through blockchain It is easier to withdraw and deposit.
Yes, this blockchain technology give some very good improvement in fairness and transparency now most of online casino going with this all with better confidence in both sides players and casino both have fair things to do on this sometime back most of the punters was facing some serious issues regarding deposit and withdraw but after adopting this they have very quick access with this all which bring some revolutionary changes for this industry.

Biggest advantage for members is now they don't need third parties for solving their issues' blockchain can do this all with fairness and this is going to be acceptable for both parities.
Well, that is a big advantage indeed, but I don't expect lawyers are going to agree with you. Grin
Those who profit with legal disputes, the third parties, are going to be very upset as blockchain adoption increases day by day, solving different issues of the modern society, just by being transparent and immutable. More blockchain means less legal issues, leading to a decreasement in the demand for professionals of the legal sector. The sad part is: these are the people who create the laws and regulations.

Yes, it doesn't make sense to pay a mentor to teach him something not profitable on long run. I would say it's actually a dangerous possibility, because there are lots of scammers on the internet claiming to be professional dice gamblers who can teach secret strategies to beat the house, while others, even though showing their "secrets" for free are also equally dangerous, because they lead people to lose tons of money assuring they can win through the methods displayed at their youtube videos, aiming the referral comissions they can earn this way.
It is better to avoid that thing than to get scammed by people we do not know because they only offer to teach us, but after we pay some money, they just run away. It is better to use that money to play dice games with small bets and enjoy it because someday, we can win some money without a mentor. A mentor is not too necessary in a dice game and we need to realize that we can learn by ourselves because a dice game is not a type of gambling game that needs the skill to win. Only your luck can help you to win.
A mentor would be only useful to teach the gambler some basic strategies and hints which could help him avoid losing too much money in dice and consequently going into debt. But this mentor must be someone trustful and educated about gambling games, preferentially someone the newbie gambler knows personally and has a relationship already (a friend or relative, for an example).
I like this idea, because it can be harsh to start gambling without any clue about what to do, but unfortunatelly not everyone has the opportunity to learn with someone more experienced, so they have to learn by themselves.

El Salvador continues buying more bitcoins despite the most recent crash. As the president stated, "they can never beat you if you buy the dips", concluding next is a "presidential advice". I can imagine how banks, public employees and people in general who don't understand the volatility of the market must be mad on him for putting even more public funds in bitcoin.
A crash like this might trigger another wave of protests in El Salvador against bitcoin and Bukele. Actually he has been already accused of implementing a dictatorship in the country. I don't know if this information proceeds though.

4966  Economy / Speculation / Re: What cause Bitcoin to drop up to 42k$? on: September 22, 2021, 01:05:11 AM
The only relation between Evergrande group and Bitcoin dump I can think about is if the company needed to sell their BTC holdings (in case their had it) at once in order to pay their increasing debt with China's government. Because for me it really doesn't make sense to say Bitcoin is losing price because investors are avoiding stocks market. Huh

It would be more logical to see bitcoin rising if that was the scenario, because when investors aren't confident in traditional markets they have crypto currency and more specifically Bitcoin as a safe heaven.

When people have no way to explain something, they just match different situations happening at same time to conclude one is the cause and the another is the effect.
4967  Economy / Economics / Re: Food prices doubled this year on: September 20, 2021, 11:47:10 PM
Yes, those people and communities that are in rural areas have been well to neutral with their lives while they're dealing with the pandemic too. It's not that bad as the people in the cities.

For the coming back of jobs, there's a flexible idea that has been implemented since last year about skeletal force and working at home. Well at least with these flexibility, they can come up with something to provide and can still bring food to their tables.

The pandemic, at least in the initial phases impacted the urban areas more, because it's spread was slower in the rural regions. But the new virus variants have changed this situation. Look at the United States. They are now reporting almost 2,000 daily COVID deaths and a majority are being reported from rural regions. One reason for this is the lower vaccination rate in such areas. Urban population has been more responsive to the vaccination drive, and they have better accessibility as well, to the vaccination points. That is not the case with the rural regions.
Not only into that factor but also on how far they are from each other plus having discipline despite of living in urban areas but still they could able to control up the situation even they arent that vaccinated.
Vaccines doesnt really give out 100% assurance that you wont get infected because one of the things needed is really on discipline.Speaking towards food supply or sources then its for sure that
there would be some shortages and would have some increase in prices which is really very understandable how much more on the situation that we are into.
On the other hand, countryside residents are usually isolated from the rest of the world what difficults their immunologic system to stay strong against the new virus variants when an outsider suddenly bring it to their areas. In big cities it's the opposite because there is a constant flux of people from different regions and countries, what helps increasing people body's resistance against potential infections.

I remember I saw once the story of an hermit family living in russian Taiga forest since the 30's which was only discovered by geologists at the end of 70's and after this encounter they lost almost all of its members to sudden diseases, possibly because the exposure to the strangers which transmitted something to them which they had no immunity to deal with.

Another example are the natives in south america who were exposed to the european diseases which they also didn't have immunity against. As result there were severe pandemics and many natives died instantly.
4968  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many BTC users actually care about privacy? on: September 20, 2021, 09:04:19 PM
There is nothing wrong about seeking for privacy, but personally I think it's like drying ice: you make a lot of effort and in the end don't reach to any result, as we don't really know how far the government's tentacles and their spying methods goes. The technology, knowledge and informations disponible for the masses are limited on purpose. The digital stuff we have access nowadays has been used by governments since a lot earlier, so what guarantee do we have countries like USA and China don't have exclusive top tier technologies able to track us through another ways (your address, wage, family roots, etc...) even though we avoid KYC verification?

I'm inclined to believe anonymity is an utopia and to try reaching it at all costs will make your experience in crypto universe less enjoyable, as there are many useful services which enforce KYC verification process.
4969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Impact of underage gambling? on: September 20, 2021, 03:38:37 PM
As long as the teenager earns his own money I think he has the right to gamble if he wants. And actually age doesn't mean a lot in gambling. For addicted people, for an example, doesn't matter how old they are, gambling isn't for them, never. While for a responsible adolescent, it can be an entertaining hobby without further prejudice.

Nowadays there is a lot of polemics regards this matter, but the truth is children have always seen adults gambling and it has been part of their lives for many following generations. In the end only few presented issues with addiction during their adulthood. It makes believe the problem isn't in gambling exposed to underage, but in the psychological of few underage instead.

what is your recommendation for that?
The recommendation is to never see gambling as a job. Don't expect to earn an income from it for a living. Beware of people promising strategies or gameplays too good to be true on the internet. And never hide your gambling habits from your family.
4970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson on: September 20, 2021, 01:38:12 PM
Jamel is more experienced, but in this case Shakur Stevenson is the favorite due to his agility, fast counter-punches, strategical balance between body and head jabs. These elements are all part of his refined admirable technique. Of course experience matters, but even the most experienced masters are defeated someday by younger players who will eventually become masters so experienced like the old ones.

In my opinion Shakur has all the necessary conditions to win this fight since he doesn't underestimate his opponent. That is the biggest mistake an unbeaten athletle can commit.

Then where do you get that instructor that shall teach you the best strategy in dicing? Look, everyone is telling about dice is a luck-based game and even if you have someone on your back as your instructor, he'll just teach you the casual way of betting on it but there's no actual strategy that can beat the game.
He might still search for a mentor who can help him playing dice better than others. But what I wonder is, does he needs to pay any money to the mentor? Because as far as I know, if we hire someone to be our mentor, we need to give him a payment as the fee taught us about something. He does not have to pay anything if that mentor is someone he knows and does not ask about anything.
Yes, it doesn't make sense to pay a mentor to teach him something not profitable on long run. I would say it's actually a dangerous possibility, because there are lots of scammers on the internet claiming to be professional dice gamblers who can teach secret strategies to beat the house, while others, even though showing their "secrets" for free are also equally dangerous, because they lead people to lose tons of money assuring they can win through the methods displayed at their youtube videos, aiming the referral comissions they can earn this way.

Visa is already in partnership with so many crypto exchanges which offer credit cards featuring cashback in bitcoin, that these news are not a surprise for me. With the wide increasement in bitcoin's adoption this year by institutional investors, Visa must have seen this adoption as an opportunity to stay relevant in financial world for long years to come yet.
1. If visa partner with Bitcoin is any effect?
2. this visa of a thing will it be applicable or extend to another country
3. What is the main aim of Visa coming closer to bitcoin
1. Like I said, this is going to be the effect:
But what it's probably going to change is that we will be finally able to pay with bitcoin, converting btc into fiat on the moment of the purchase by Visa, not being necessary anymore to exchange bitcoin into fiat first in order to use the money next.
2. Visa is a global company accepted at over 200 countries, it will indeed extend to many other countries if there is good will from the regulators of each territory.

3. Profit and influence.

Not much will change anyway, because these exchanges already do the biggest part of the job.

Just wanted to share that finally, after half a year, the LTC bankroll seems to be doing very well. It's always served me well all these years of course, but after a battering around the time BTC started ATH-ing, it took forever to recover. Today, back in the black almost 10% up actually from just 2 months ago (big hooray).
Good to know your experience with bankroll investment in Bitvest. I was looking for something like this, because I wasn't sure if there was enough activity in this casino to provide smooth returns.
May I ask more or less what is the percentage this investment in Bitvest generates yearly?

What I know is that years ago it could reach to 50% yearly in another casinos, but I believe it's not so profitable like that anymore.

4976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: September 20, 2021, 12:28:17 AM

For Belgium, I was referring to Lukaku. Anyway, you are right. They do have very good players apart from Lukaku. Same with the case of Portugal as well. At least these two teams are not dependent like Norway is on Haaland, or Sweden during the Zlatan era. This makes it easy for the opposition to come up with their tactics. All they need to do is to prevent Haaland from getting the ball. But that doesn't work everytime and as a result we have Norway with 13 points from their 6 matches currently (same as that of Netherlands).

The problem is that Belgium also relies on their top players such as Hazard, De Bruyne and Lukaku. You could see that in their match against Denmark on the EURO 2020 cup. The first half Belgium couldn't create any chance; at mid-time De Bruyne comes in and we saw a totally different Belgium.
That is not too bad... There are teams which rely on just one top player, at least they have three, right? Besides the players you mentioned Belgium has a pretty balanced team with a very good goalkeeper which can offer a decent challenge even to the considered strongest teams. They just need to shape their strategy a little more and maybe stop being too technical and turn into a more creative gameplay to surprise tough adversaries like Italy on the field.
4977  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: will Paraguay be the next to make Bitcoin ‘official currency’ on: September 19, 2021, 01:57:55 PM
That is just a campaign promise in case this congressman is elected in 2023 for the presidency of the country. Probably a marketing strategy to get attention from the media and in special from the young public that is a well known enthusiast of crypto currency worldwide.



I’m not too familiar with Paraguayan political parties, but from what I’ve gathered, the said congressman, Carlos Relaja is a member of the political party called Partido Hagamos (PH). During the last general elections in 2018, the PH managed to receive 75.601 votes (1,95%) to the main camera (diputados).

He apparently said that he wanted it to be an official currency (being interpreted as legal tender), where he to be elected in 2023. I’d say his chances were slim in light of 2018’s data, although the PH party is an emerging one.

For a congressman 1,95% of votes is a very expressive percentage. Most congressmen are elected with 1% or less.

4978  Other / Off-topic / Re: What do you think about youtube/twitch marketing? Is it ethical? on: September 19, 2021, 12:15:04 PM
I regard people as intelligent beings capable of independent decisions and conclusions. Therefore, I do not see anything unethical in such advertising. If it is very easy to deceive you (or rather create a mistaken opinion) with the help of such simple techniques, then this is first of all your problem and you need to raise your level of awareness and a critical view of the world.
If we think this way, we are going to blame the victims instead of the guilty in different situations, with the excuse the victim wasn't smart enough to avoid being deceived by the malicious person. Of course high levels of awareness and distrust are needed to stay safe in a dirty world like this one, but I believe we shouldn't banalize these situations and accept them as normal.

The correct in a healthy society would be to trust what people say, especially if they are advertising something, without the fear we are being cheated by them. And I believe that should be the aim of a good marketing campaign. Lies may work and be profitable on short run, but only truth can build solid bases and thrive on long run.

Blockchain games as a topic can have a scope that exceeds NFTs: previous implementations using regular old tokens are fine too, or alternatively with a new altcoin.

I guess. But outside of the likes of gambling, having NFTs in "blockchain games" is pretty much the norm now. You're very unlikely to see a blockchain game that only operates using tokens and without the use of NFTs.
Yes, it's a mix of token (altcoin) and NFTs (game's items/characters).

Moreover I believe the main difference between blockchain games' NFTs and other NFTs is the practical application the first have, against a worthless existence of the second (like most altcoins). And since there is practical application, this segment of the market doesn't rely purely on speculation (unlikely altcoins). Also, games' NFTs are similar to products/goods instead of currencies. These are some reasons to detach this category from altcoins, which includes worthless NFTs as well.

In my country every government during the election campaign have the statement we'll abolish corruption on the sports in the manifesto. Is this is common or I'm seeing this on my country. In each and every game, during the selection process bribe is being given. This has made several able sportsmen discontinue their passion on sports and do some routine job for their living.

Same as this is the gambling, more key players are involved with match fixing even after getting huge sum of money after every match winning/losing. Why certain sportsmen have such greed towards money when people are starving to have a single meal on a day.
sports has turned into a massive business vendor and the key players would want to get the king size from the business. Greed is vertually in all sectors and none is left out. I think for sports there is actually no remedy because the players involved are pillars and organizers of the sporting activities. It's just for the Norma man to play along
Who could really able to resist specially if the offered amount is something you can earn on a short span of time? Of course you would really be agreeing with those kind of terms.
Corruption is something not new not only on gambling industry but on other industries as well thats why its no surprise that there are really instances or incidents might leaked out
which could really tell that there is something behind is happening.Can we get rid of it? No its not and they would do this as long they havent been bust up yet.
Honest athletes who value their own reputation, the reputation of their countries and respect their adversaries can resist such temptations and that is this kind of athletle who is carrying the true meaning of "sport" alive. Unfortunatelly there is no way to get rid of it, because most people think these practices are normal and acceptable since they would also cheat, if they had the opportunity of doing so.

But real athetles don't need shortcuts. They are forged through their effort and integrity. The example of great sportsmen like Usain Bolt don't let me lie: they didn't cheat and were still able to break records and insert their names in history.
