Well,bitcoin adoption in Japan is going very well,but what about other countries.
Having massive bitcoin adoption in ONE country doesn't mean that bitcoin is getting adopted everywhere in the world.It's well known that Rakuten is a crypto-friendly company so it's no surprise that they are launching a crypto exchange.
By the way,the title of your thread is pure clickbait. Grin
5002  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 8 Ball Pool game against live players worldwide - is gambling available? on: September 20, 2019, 12:29:52 PM
If possible please brief, how the game will be played.

The usual Player vs Player mode.

If ever a gambling site will have a feature like this, my concern is how we can verify if we are playing against a real human. This game can be easily applied with an aimbot program that might calculate the right spot on the cueball or longer guided lines.

That's why I suggest to OP instead that if he is interested in a match, he can challenge anyone here and use crypto as a betting prize. It will take place on Miniclip since it's more easy to access or maybe there's a much better platform for this.

There are a huge number of cheaters on Miniclip and similar sites, so challenging someone to play on one of those sites is like fighting a boxer on steroids.

I would personally love if there were more PvP gambling games like this, however, it is very difficult to produce a game that uses a skill element that can't be botted.



That's right.If it's a skill-based game it can most likely be exploited.The game has to be based on luck,in order for it to be suitable for gambling.I used to play billiard games,when I was a kid.Now,I'm not interested in billiard sports.They are kinda boring for me.
Maybe some game developer could modify a version of 8-ball pool,which is based on luck,not skills.

Pay 800 USD worth of bitcoin and get 10,000 USD in fiat money from a bank account via Western Union?
I don't get it.What makes this transaction clever?I guess that the hackers have access to way too much stolen bank accounts so they sell them at an extremely low price.
The battle against the Darkweb is going to be harder than ever.
5004  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen after cryptocurrency on: September 20, 2019, 11:53:51 AM
Money changed its shape through the history. As from non-monetary exchange to the need of having money. Fast forward to our current banknotes which are in my opinion slowly dying with bitcoin taking over. Many discussions are being held if bitcoin can be the primary currency in the world. Let's assume it can be. Everything has an end so what do you think will come after bitcoin? What will money look like hundreds of years from now? I predict its gonna be digital of course but I'm interested if its going to be a cryptocurrency or something else.

You are wrong.Paper money aren't dying and bitcoin isn't taking over.Paper money are still dominating the economy and will continue to dominate for decades.Bitcoin/blockchain is an exciting innovation,but nobody knows how it will grow and improve in the near future.Will the governments and central banks embrace it?Will they ban it?
Nobody can tell you what will replace fiat/digital or crypto money.

175 billion dollars is peanuts. Grin
Such small amount won't change anything in the US economy or in the global economy.
By the way,the bitcoin price recovered from the 5% nose dive,so I think it's wrong to search for a correlation between the bitcoin price and how many billions were printed by FED.
There's no bear trap and Bakkt won't change anything.

Are you guys still interested in the opinion of McAfee or nah

This video has 44 views,5 likes and one comment.This answers your question. Grin
Nobody is interested in McAfee.He is a sneaky marketer(sensational clickbait stuff),but a lousy businessman.
Who would even consider him an authority in the crypto world?McAfee was a drug addict and a scammer.

I don't really know what to expect, the organizer is actually the guy who sold me my first hardware, always had a good chat with him. So i'm hoping for more or the same.

Well,you should definitely expect more of the same.This guy is going to pitch his products for sure(it doesn't matter if it's mining hardware or something else).The main purpose of those meetups is direct marketing and there's nothing wrong with that,unless they promote some scam.
I'm willing to go on more education related crypto meetups,but there aren't any in the country where I live.

Nice try,OP.Compiling some random list with companies that accept btc and putting your "best social media agency in the world" at the bottom.This is post is an AD.I'm I right?
There were 1000 posts about the list of companies accepting bitcoin.Another post like those won't bring anything new to the topic or the conversation.
Good luck with your business,but I hate sneaky hidden advertisements. Grin
5009  Other / Off-topic / Re: What do I do with my bitcoins ? on: September 19, 2019, 05:17:45 PM
I am in mid 20's and holding and accumulating as much BTC as I can. I try to save a small amount of bitcoins every month so that I can do something with it when I retire.
But what if something unfortunate happens to me. What should I do 'now' so that the coins can be used for a good purpose in the future by the right person.
I know I can hide the instructions to the private key for somebody to take it in the future. But my question is whom should I give it to ?

I do not want to give it to my relatives or children since I want them to earn on their own and never depend on others money.
I know I can donate it to charity but what's the guarantee that the money will be gone into good hands and will be used for the right purpose ?

Are there any options that you guys think of ? Have you guys thought about such a scenario ?

So you want someone to inherit your bitcoins,but this someone shouldn't be a charity organization or your children.This is a pretty strange question.My answer is...Just don't save any bitcoins.Maybe talk with a layer about your wish,but I don't think that a layer will help you.
5010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many gambling sites are you playing and do you use the same strategy on: September 19, 2019, 11:44:45 AM
How many gambling sites are you playing and do you use the same strategy? I'm playing on at least 4 sites now and uses a different variation on the martingale and some guessing method and I found out that I have good success implementing a method on one gambling site that is not effective on other gambling sites, how about you?

I quit playing dice and crash games long time ago.I used martingale once back in 2015 in satoshimines and I lost 7 USD worth of bitcoins(I usually play with small sums).I would never use martingale again.
I play only online poker and I do it very rare.Poker is so damn boring,if you play it with average players. Sad
5011  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: decentralized stable coin on: September 19, 2019, 11:39:08 AM
Hello,I have an idea. Make one.“Create a perfect decentralized stable coin $USGD”.
Gravitation will use a perfect token economic model ,distribute through the smart contract of Ethereum ,to create a stable decentralized and consensus crypto currency ,$USGD

1.Nothing in this world,including crypto coins is perfect.
2.Decentralized is a buzzword.Many crypto fanatics use it only because it sounds cool.
3.Smart contract and ethereum?I guess you mean creating just another bullshit ethereum token,that is going to be "revolutionary" and "disruptive",and in the end, it will die like all the other shitcoin ethereum tokens.
4.Stable?Well, we have Tether...
5012  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to stop taking high risks? on: September 19, 2019, 11:25:47 AM
Hey guys, I noticed that I always seek for high profit and point is that I still trade 25-50-100x. Then I lose deposit and then repeat once again.
Sometimes I gain a lot, like 10x and it gives me positive energy.

But I realise that trading with high leverage is a disaster. How to stop doing that?

This isn't trading.It's a gambling addiction.Just stop trading and seek for help.
The so called "positive energy" is just dopamine that your brain is producing in high amounts,when you are winning.You get addicted in that process.I simply don't understand people,who use margin trading.
Margin trading is kinda designed to make you lose. Undecided
5013  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bakkt is coming: will this be biggest crypto week ever and set off bull run? on: September 19, 2019, 11:19:44 AM
The recent bitcoin price volatility is extremely low and I don't know what to expect.
Bakkt won't bring any major change on the cryptocurrency markets.The institutional investors will continue to stay away from bitcoin.There's bitcoin futures trading on CME.With or without physical btc settlement,I don't think it really influences the bitcoin price that much.
5014  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Is Still bad? JPMorgan Chase Traders Accused Of Market Manipulation on: September 19, 2019, 06:16:17 AM
JPMorgan Chase is a giant.They are in the "too big to fail" category and their reputation won't suffer from those accusations.The JPMorgan Chase CEO will just blame the accused traders and the entire bank will go away clean from this s*it.
Privileged banks like JPMorgan,Goldman Sachs,Citigroup,Bank or America,HSBC,etc. will continue to manipulate all markets(including the crypto market). They are above the law. Angry
5015  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-09-17] Bug on Kraken Let Users Buy Bitcoin at Levels Below Market Price on: September 19, 2019, 06:02:22 AM
On Sept. 13, United States-based crypto exchange Kraken experienced a bug that allowed some users to buy or sell Bitcoin (BTC) at a notably different price from Bitcoin’s actual market price due to a reported system bug.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bug-on-kraken-let-users-buy-bitcoin-2k-cheaper-and-sell-2k-higher

Kraken is a US-based cryptocurrency exchange, founded in 2011. I would have thought that they would at least sorted out most of the software issues in the 8 years that they have been operating as an exchange.  Tongue

The weakest point in Bitcoin is not the protocol, but rather the 3rd party software that are being used in services like exchanges and wallet providers.  Angry

Is this really a bug?Maybe it's a sneaky way for the Kraken owners to get some bitcoins at a cheaper price and cover this scam by calling it a "bug".
I don't believe such big and established crypto exchange platform to have such amateurish problem.
Why don't all the other big platforms have the same issue?
5016  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lets think Bitcoin as an investment not payment system, is this right? on: September 19, 2019, 05:57:56 AM
Bobby Lee — co-founder and former CEO of China's first crypto exchange BTCC — says the Chinese have always thought of Bitcoin as an investment rather than a payment system.

Lee made his remarks during an interview for Charlie Shrem’s Untold Stories podcast on Sept. 18.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bobby-lee-chinese-always-saw-bitcoin-as-investment-not-for-payments

- In accordance to what Bobby Lee said, it is indeed that China thought of bitcoin as an investment.
This might be the reason why China was one of the biggest percentage average of having a bitcoin mining farm.
all over the world, What's your view about this thought? Smiley

If the Chinese government again provokes citizens to a rally, then I think the Chinese will abandon the Yuan in protest and will use Bitcoin as a means of payment.

Abandon the Yuan and protest???Are you kidding me?I guess you don't understand how things work in China.
Bobby Lee is right and it's not only the Chinese,who view bitcoin as an investment.Probably 90% of all bitcoin users view it as an investment and that's why bitcoin has a high value-due to the HODLers,who believe in the future value of bitcoin and that's why they keep HODLing.

Can you prove your identity in a private conversation(Skype video chat)?
There's nothing about the so called "EurBit" project,when I search in google.
Have you launched this project?
5018  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a scam? What to do next. on: September 18, 2019, 05:11:20 PM
I was scammed by a Telegram faucet using the same principle.Fortunately I was scammed with a really small sum.
You get a fake dashboard,which shows that you have "earned" X amount of bitcoins(usually a big amount),but you have to deposit coins to upgrade your account(or meet their terms and conditions) in order to withdraw your coins(which is ridiculous).
You are explaining exactly the same scam tactic. Undecided

I've never visited any crypto website that asks for your private keys.
Coin giveaways in exchange of downloading some shady software or app?People should be really naive,in order to fall into such bullshit scams.I'm glad that the scammers were arrested.The police in the Philippines should keep it up with the good work.

Glad that the QR codes stay there and nobody tries to erase them or paint over them.
In my country there are lots of vandals,who would just draw some shit over the QR code.
Finally the QR technology can do some work.I'm gonna draw codes all over my city(and nobody will donate any bitcoins to me). Grin
