BTC down to low 8000s right now

That's not major dump for me since we have seen a bad dumps which is totally bad than this so maybe just try to relax if you are afraid with this since for sure this dump is temporary since we have halving coming on its way and provably we will see a good pumps rather than bad dumps when this event occur.

Also try to see the price is much good compare to several months.

If they'll be able to get Bogdanović that would be a great decision by the team, I think the Lakers are also interested with him, so let's see who will get him first, but the Lakers are already a good team so I hope Pacers will be able to improve if they can get Bogdanović.

Pacers hasn't been an exciting team anymore, the last time I remember they were really competing was during the time of PG, David West, Hibbert, George Hill, and Lance Stephenson.


I don't think Lakers would want to add more in their roster. It might destroy the good chemistry which they are having now.
Pacers though will need an upgrade. Miles Turner might be practicing for his three's too but that won't be enough.
But they should consider that large amount of salary if they will take Bogdanovic.

They want to add more but the problem is their cap I think they limit some space but they have an option to with kuzma or together with KCP but I don't think they will pursue this since for sure those since provably Bagdanovic  will remain on which team he is on right now.

I as a fan will be upset if they will do this and trade for kuz anywhere since it means they cannot win by their own since they recruit other firepower to help them out.

Only 2 days to rewards [https://tokenview.com/en/half]halving [/https://tokenview.com/en/half]and we just witness $10,000 bitcoin again.

But still feel wired. May be next few months won't be easy

What's your idea? Any opinion about network security, market or anything you wish to say are fine.

Are you asking about the price of bitcoin after the halving ?
I think in the last few days bitcoin pumped due to hype of halving and right after the halving bitcoin will dump in shorter time frame.

Not surprising to see those since that's the normal flow of bitcoins but I don't really think we can feel the real effect of it right now since there are so many struggles which can effect its state and maybe those pumping things will start on next year since I assume we will see the same pattern just like what happen on year 2017 but I don't expect that we can reach to its ATH price since we are now in bad shape due to the pandemic strikes globally.

It's very sad and unfortunate for us waiting for the games to start especially waiting for our favorite team schedule to play and also their road games but we cannot do nothing with this since this is global issue and worse case scenario will come if we or they will not follow what the experts orders so for the safety of all and if we want to make fast to get back our normal life we should cooperate as well the other to stop the social gatherings for now and let this case controlled so that if the vaccine became available the games for sure came back with different intensity.

It is not the priority, a lot of people are struggling right now, the PBA players will survive as they have good salary and hopefully they have savings as well.
PBA has been an entertainment for us but the measures impose by the government is necessary to keep the number of infection to be limited only, so as soon as the covid-19 will be defeated, maybe that's the time we can see this league to resume again.

We need vaccine to fully stop the virus, but if the virus will just die because it cannot be spread anymore, maybe it could help our economy to recover again and though sports is not the priority, but sooner it will re open and we will once again enjoy it.

I am sure the owners or the organization in any sports and in any part of the world already understands that if they will wait for the vaccine, they will loss their business, so its expected that they are already planning now on how to put a certain measures that will make players safe and people involve when they will resume the game.

TBH, I thought that there is no chance for it to happen, only the vaccine will keep the sports to resume but it's not realistic if we will wait years for them to resume, and just like other countries are doing, they are still resuming the sports despite of the covid-19 threat.

For sure it will that's why we cannot see any games running right now and if they insist to continue this still the president will not allow since he know how dangerous this plan is, We know our president will not let any gatherings to happen so we should really expect anything back to normal once this vaccine will became available.

There are potential came out already and I think we are near to have a cure and provably we will have that in next following months.
I think possibilities to continue the season is indeed but of course for live streaming only and for the audience?limiting to 1/3 of the capacity can prevent the spreading of virus.

So basically this can be done but of course with assurance to the public that administration will assure the safety and health of players and fans.

Lets accept that having a management system every event can be done.

No live audience equals limited profit and imagine how big amount will lose to the management if they will rely on advertisements or in other forms since for sure the payments of players,staff and the venue cost huge so implementing this is bit suicide for them and the game is so different since I would not enjoy the game without a crowd shouting or cheering their favorite teams.

Keep in mind that an user meeting the requirements you've written down is also a pretty good candidate for signature campaigns and can earn that money from there.
This just came into my mind and thought it may worth sharing. I know that there are not enough spots for everybody in these campaigns though.
Very true. Even if there are not enough spots available in a particular campaign, there are plenty of signature campaigns popping up these days providing opportunities for many quality posters of our forum.

Campaigns are popping up every couple of days in recent times.

This is why I feel that the applicant selected should not be a part of a decent paying signature campaign. Instead, help needs to be provided to those who desperately need money.

The selection will be surely base on their current status and if they are on decent paying campaigns for sure they are not qualified to accept a help on this service since I'm sure their campaigns are already providing them their weekly needs so the funds should go to the right person so that all the efforts of the team will not be wasted so proper validation is really a must here.

But I really hope the identity of the recipient's are 100% protected since it's a thread for their security if those private information will leaked to the public.
4967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto casinos pros and cons on: May 08, 2020, 09:40:53 AM
There are many advantages of gambling in crypto casinos, e.g. privacy and speed. Or something else?
But are there some disadvantages for you compared to fiat money casinos?

Perhaps, we don't know where the money comes from, and sometimes the capital has a connection with drugs, illegal funds, corruption or another thing. The other disadvantages are the price of crypto is too volatile, and we don't know how much the price tomorrow or the next week. With the anonymous sender, we don't know who are they behind the wallet, and they can play gambling without anyone knows. Probably, people don't look at the disadvantages of crypto gambling site because they use crypto to hide from other people, and they can use crypto as the money.

Yes, some people use crypto gambling websites to deposit bitcoins and do money laundering because there are no KYC on these sites. Well, there are evil minded people everywhere and we cannot call it a drawback of online casino.

I never tried depositing a huge amount on any gambling sites but I think in terms of withdrawals of huge amount the gambling site will conduct a KYC verification to know the legitimacy of the costumer, but I'm not sure if this is implemented to the other gambling site since if the case they are just letting it happen then money laundering is really easy by using the casino as landing point.

Can you trust a cryptocurrency exchange?

Depends on the use so better you should elaborate your questions since there are so many meanings for the trust you mentioned but if you mean for making it as your alternative wallet well it's a big no for me, there are countless of attacks or best to call them inside job which the balance of there user are been affected so for this incident never ever trust any of those even if they are called reputable.

But for tradings or other used then I trust several of them and you can use binance,Okex and huobi.

Esports is getting more attention just thanks to pandemic lockdown. I know that it was already big, the first ones were small time lan based games and right now we are talking about finals at stadiums and all that, so we know even before the lockdown it was getting big

Actually esports was always big even before the pandemic lockdown. Alot of gambling sites has included them in their site as well however this is just a new case where alot of gambling site which accept bitcoin also included them.

Dota is still the leading esports game to bet on, despite being in lockdown for now there are constantly alot online tournament that includes alot of top teams to compete so it is very interesting to bet
I didn't mean like esports was something very small that suddenly became bigger. I know that esports was big but at the same time the only reason why it was big was the viewers not the gamblers. Definitely esports had some gambling as well but comparing it to big guns like basketball, football, american football and even some other stuff would be naive, esports was nowhere near that level at all.

Obviously right now they are the biggest because the other ones are cancelled or postponed, which means there is no basketball, there is no football, there is no nfl and the only thing left is esports which makes it evidently bigger than everything and biggest of right now. This doesn't mean esports was nothing and now something, it just means that it was probably in top 10 but became the top one after all of this.

They have both got huge bettor/fan base just try to look up the statistics https://www.statista.com/statistics/618967/espots-betting-market-wagers-worldwide/ and see how big the market of Esports have, But i agree with you for comparing it on some games since those what mentioned sports by you is the old one and try to see the statistic the Esport is talking a good step and became a billion $ industry.
4970  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Halving about to make a major move? on: May 07, 2020, 11:22:51 PM
I can't still say if this gradually growth is due to halving effect since for now we are not touching yet to 5 digits number but let see on what will happen when halving really occurs since for this for sure we can determine if the price pump is gradually happening until the price drive go crazy but for now let's be careful since we have seen so many series of bull trap and be wise for doing a trade.
4971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 07, 2020, 02:18:25 PM
It can consider but likewise PBA association will check and balance everything before deciding, it's hard to decide since even they'll try to work out outside Manila chances that it won't get enough profits are still there. We all know that each sides of the country are affected of this lockdown and after the lift entertainment will not be prioritize.

The possibility of this happening is very low, sorry but that's my opinion, transforming the players puts them in a lot of risk already and they are not essential people at this time so they can't find an exemption to this. It's been stated int the post above that business that will require gathering of people will be suspended under the GCQ, so that's it, they are looking for an exemption and they need some approval but the government is more focus on more important things now.

The government has no time for this, so it's not likely for the PBA to resume under their initiative, you are right, they need some approval doing this as this would not only risk their health but the health of the people as well, and if the government were able to close the ABS CBN at this covid-19 crisis, there's no way the will give some special treatment to any business, we have a different government now that they want to implement the law properly.

Games and sports comes under least discussion when it comes to lift the bans on businesses. Since there is a lot of public gathering is involved, no sports can be opened now and Philippine Basketball Association also have to wait until the situation become very much corona free. I think that we can see PBA to resume once the vaccine is developed for covid-19.

Many people though's that on e ECQ lifted they can live back to normal and do what they normally do in daily life but if we do a reality check we will really find tge danger still there since as you said there's no vaccine has been created and yet so if this gatherings will happen for sure a huge risk not only with PBA but also in the whole country is at risk.
4972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Play? on: May 07, 2020, 11:39:38 AM
I don't know if there are already some casinos existing with the folowing features:

-In every losing bet, 1% of it will be donated to their handpicked charity
-For every win, only 95% of the pot will be transfered to your wallet and the remaining 5% will go to your handpicked charity that is also available on the platform.



If something like this exist, will you still play? Do you think it is a bad idea to make the users make a donation in this way?

I think you got that idea on PAGCOR right? but I don't know how percent they distribute for charity but if someone follow the same what they did for sure I will play in that site since I know my money lose or won have proper destination which could save some lives or anything. But i think it's far to be happen since I think it needs legality before this plan will be done by any online gambling sites.

Since you bragged on Twitter that one lucky person from your site won 240k, how about posting the TXID of the payout?

If you cannot provide that you are a scam operation posting fake wins to lure in more suckers.

You don't think that would be impending on the privacy on that user? Granted you wouldn't be able to learn much from a simple TXID unless it was a publicly posted address, it's still releasing personal info. There is evidence to support that someone hit big. The win came from Evolution's monopoly which is a live casino game that has hundreds, if not thousands, of people playing every single round. Numerous people saw the x9600 hit happen live.

Exactly, basically there are many bigger wins out there in this bitcoin gambling industry but it is very rare for casino's owner to post the TXID of the huge payout.
One valid reason is about anonymity, most huge winners do not want to be known publicly due to security reason as it may result in begging or even hacking attempt.
Casino's owner has no rights to post the TXID unless the player permit it.

I can't imagine how big the danger is when those things posted up especially in terms of big winnings so in the name of anonymity I don't really see any problem for hiding that information since that can be used by scums for following the winner.
And since many people saw it live then it give justified for the though's of the people doubting about the huge winnings.

Are you still surprised for people predicted that the price of bitcoin will go to that? It's so easy to predict and anyone can drop figures but no one actually knows on what will happen in future and as a matter of fact many self proclaimed experts tells that we will go to something good price right now but look what happen? we are still struggling to reach the fifth figures so maybe for now just chill and don't listen to the fuds.

Since I didn't feel the halving effect for now compare to past few years of halving days since whenever the even close by the price stretching up but for now since there us pandemic the people are now not on investments that's why we see a rough start from the market.

What are your thoughts this week?  Grin
Well, you have a great profit for Yolodice this week, but not just Yolodice. Profits were higher than from both casinos, Bustadice also had better returns than the previous weeks. But the best part is still profit from Bitcoin. I must say that I am very interested in the investments you are making, a stable amount of money each week. Much better than profit from any bank  Grin Grin
Looks like OP's investment journey started at the right time, OP now is both profitable on btc and usd value or php and that's good to see that even until today, investing in a casino is still profitable.

It's double profit if the price of bitcoins will rise But! If the price of bitcoins will fall for sure it's double lose also. But we cannot expect those losing moments at the moment since for sure these days the price of bitcoins will increase more due to the current halving that will give a good effect on the price so OP might got a big full pocket after this things became on good shape.

If no vaccine discovered we will never get back to normal since there's always threat around the corner,
That's the very sad reality, I guess it's this year we will have more time staying in our home that going out because this virus could affect our entire family if we get infected, so prevention is always better than cure, I am also thinking that I will not gonna accept some visitors in my house just to ensure that no one will get close within our family as we never know if a person is a virus carrier.
It's very sad and unfortunate for us waiting for the games to start especially waiting for our favorite team schedule to play and also their road games but we cannot do nothing with this since this is global issue and worse case scenario will come if we or they will not follow what the experts orders so for the safety of all and if we want to make fast to get back our normal life we should cooperate as well the other to stop the social gatherings for now and let this case controlled so that if the vaccine became available the games for sure came back with different intensity.

I am not sure how you are predicting it but all time high is quite Impossible, though the pressure is building in the market BTC is performing. There are possiblities even big whales can manipulate the price post Halving.

More over this COVID-19 has been a serious thread which has already disastered the entire economy, However there are chances of 15-20% pump.

We are on disastrous situation where many are affected so I agree with you that it's impossible for us to see a all time high when this covid-19 still excisting on this planet, But if experts will find a cure and the economy recovers maybe this will change the phase since might we will see a miracle since for sure the participation of people who are in crypto could create an outstanding demand after this pandemic.
4979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 05, 2020, 09:52:54 AM
Agree with you, it's a gamble because some people does not have symptoms but they are already infected with the virus.
The fact that the Philippines lacks medical equipment to determine if a certain person is covid free or not immediately, that would put our country at big risk.
So yeah, continuing the PBA 2020 season would be a big problem if the situation of the coronavirus pandemic in our country is still at high level. How about, the big risk after the ECQ would be lifted at 15th of May. It occurs that those 20 year old above are now allowed to go outside. That's scary.

The things would not be settled till the time we have red zones in our areas or in the country. Because somehow if those travel outside or anywhere without they knowing they are infected could create further more positive patients and this way the spread will continue to rise in future till the time we have vaccines available for the same.

After the ECQ it does not mean the country will be back to normal, just like in some provinces that is not fully affected by the virus, they are under the GCQ now, and there are still strict measures being impose, and under the GCQ guidelines, this PBA games fall to those who are not permitted to operate.

If no vaccine discovered we will never get back to normal since there's always threat around the corner, We can't see the enemy so pushing any social gathering will lead to worse case scenario since we might gonna see another breakout of the virus and I'm sure all of us doesn't want that to happen again. So best for the safety of the fans and the player the PBA management should decide wisely about this situation.
4980  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A perspective of the future of Bitcoin.. on: May 05, 2020, 08:21:00 AM
This happen today because it is the current usage of bitcoin to the people. Yet, it is for daily transaction. People always wany to use this cryptocurrency to earn and make money. However, I think someday people will learn to utilise bitcoin because it will become the main currency in earth. Looking forward with that scenario but right now, assume that bitcoin is a profitable asset.

If the world moves into a cashless society with Bitcoin becoming the main currency,

All payments will be traced, tracked, and recorded into an immutable ledger,

And Freedom on this planet will cease to exist.

This is over reacting on freedom things since I don't see any danger on it not unless if you are trying to hide your illegalities since if this case your will really worried about the outcome of your transactions and everything but I don't see any correlative danger if you used it for regular matters for example buying essential goods in the market.
