5041  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is the main purpose in gambling, always to make more money? on: December 27, 2019, 04:46:25 PM
No. There is only 1 reason why we gamble and that's we are trying to earn more than we deposited on a gambling site. But most of us are lossing our money on gambling and trying to make us feel not to dissapointed by saying that's only playing for fun
Not quite a failure, I know some gamblers, and they make money from it as a main source of their income. Personally, I don't like to gamble, because I lose many times, but for others who can really win by gambling, or they find a way to win more than lose, it can be a good way to earn money. Agree with you on the point: loser players often say that gambling is just for fun  Cheesy
In dice games you can earn pretty much in a way that others do not consider it as an entertainment but primarily to earn in easy manner. I've tried playing a dice, below 49 and over 50, it isn't that hars to understand but if you are rich enough you can break that game, how? just bet a high stake, if you win then bet again and if you lose, double your next bet so you have the chance to get it back, always double bet when you lose to get it back, just repeat the process but make sure that you have enough funds to do that.
5042  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin still a people's currency? on: December 27, 2019, 02:53:53 PM
storage of assets in digital form such as cryptocurrency seems to be a trend of the modern.
cryptocurrency was chosen as an alternative to gold.
Not just a trend but  considered as new economic class in the recent times. Bitcoin with a whopping $7000 (current) price is considered to be the most expensive crypto we had so far and it seems that it will still be long for it to be at top. Gold on the other side is still the one that wealthy people used in storing value, for what reason? only because it is not volatile unlike bitcoin.

but on the security side, the digital world is not 100% really safe, we as cryptocurrency users who for a long time certainly know about this.
I bet you are talking with potential hacking on digital storage, in that case we are still not hacked-proof era since the technology is evolving and so the hackers do. But if we are talking about the security of data, there is no question about it as it is running on blockchain technology where data is unalterable.
5043  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Week (Dec 22-28) on: December 27, 2019, 02:03:57 PM
The fact is not the case, the theory is about holidays and at that time at least every person who celebrates it will need fiat money for the holiday itself and for shopping needs or whatever it is basically they will not spend money to buy crypto during the holidays.
Just to add up on this one, If you guys noticed that the price of bitcoin in month of December in every year that it isn't pumping, it's very obvious that we are not going to experience a pump because of the holiday season, we cannot force ourselves to believe that it would raise within the last days of 2019. The price now is not that disappointing at all, $7000 is still a good one for bitcoin knowing it will be having the 4th halving next year. People would definitely go wild after the Christmas holiday, probably on the first quarter of 2020 around January to March.
5044  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Now YouTube is flagging Bitcoin and crypto-related videos? on: December 27, 2019, 12:53:44 PM
If this is real, that's very unfair of YouTube. But I don't think it's true since various contents can be found in YouTube and I don't think they'll specifically target cryptocurrency related videos. If ever YouTube will do that, they'll notify users and crypto channels of course. YT hasn't done any move against crypto so I doubt it. Maybe someone just reporting some crypto videos? That's more possible.
What wrong with bitcoin and cryptocurrency and not have allow by Youtube channel, there are many bad content upload in Youtube but keep allowed like violence tragedy but Youtube still available for every one earn money with their ads by promoting violence videos,
It leaves many crypto-related video/content maker hanging in a question "what could be the problem with crypto". Youtube already commented on this and stated it was a mistake from them removing contents related to cryptocurrencies. So what happened was just a wrong call but I'm very skeptical on their move, that was not an error made from  the platform, it was a decision regretted by the team of youtube. +

its not fair if Youtube want to try not allowed bitcoin and cryptocurreny promote in youtube.
Well it is definitely unfair from the side of content makers, however the problem has been resolve by reuploading the deleted videos.
5045  Economy / Economics / Re: Coming Changes Bitcoin will be backing USA dollars on: December 27, 2019, 11:30:00 AM
The gold will crash and Bitcoin will be backing Up USA dollars so USA dollar will be tokenized and each USA dollar will be backed by bitcoins.
The Bitcoin was made to be new age gold so Bitcoin never meant to be money!
Gold will crash? lmao. You could've said that bitcoin will be ahead of gold in some aspect coz your opinion is quite off and obviously a one sided basis in favor of bitcoin. This is just vague to happen since Gold's value does not depend on a belief but what it contains in terms of metallic properties which is defined by its intrinsic value unlike bitcoin whose value depends on the demand and supply that makes it too volatile for an investment.

Its Coming 2020 and yes that will be happening
The idea would be nice but it lacks optimization because there is no way that bitcoin will be backed by USD, hence it would be just a waste if you backed btc with dollars.

Deontay rejected to fight Joshua, when he finds out that Joshua is going to get double of what he is getting check all the information here
https://www.express.co.uk/sport/boxing/1109894/Anthony-Joshua-Deontay-Wilder-Fight-Offer-Rejection-Reason-Boxing-News

I believe it should not be half the gap, the gap is very huge, they are both champion and Wilder is also undefeated.
It's sad we are not going to see this fight very soon because of the money, Deontay Wilder wants more of what he is going to get on initial offer even they are talking about millions still Deontay rejected this why? I only sees it as selling his undefeated record on a high bout. OR he doesn't want his record to get a stain so he's making an alibi and more of excuse? what you think about this guys?
5047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Bet Or Gamble Before New Year, Or On The New Year on: December 27, 2019, 08:20:44 AM
I want to know will you gamble before the year-end to try to get the most before the year-end or will you prefer to gamble after the new year to welcome the year, or will you prefer to do both, I'm having second thought betting before the year-end I might end up empty-handed, coming to the new year, and I'm also having second thought gambling in a new year I might end up starting the year with a lost. 
What's the difference if you gamble before or after new year though? Does it make any difference? I'm thinking about that because I heared that there is a chinese belief that after new year, your money shouldn't be spent otherwise you will not save money for your entire year. Some of my relatives believe and that but I don't since it depends on you if you'll allow that to happen or not.
We also have Chinese influenced part in our family but I don't believe on it, we are living with technology there is no need to believe on old beliefs hence nothing will costs you if you believe on superstitious. But I guess there will be a difference on gambling in new year's eve in terms of number of players since that is a time to spend with the family and relatives. I'll be going busy this coming few days in preparation for new year, gambling mode off, party mode on Grin
5048  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin might be over but blockchain will live on: December 26, 2019, 05:48:38 PM
I understand your perspective but I don't understand on what logic you said that Bitcoin might be over. The technology of blockchain is already being implemented in many industries and Bitcoin is being used by the masses. It'll be there until people use it and I don't think it'll be over that soon

Exactly, bitcoin is more like what even made blockchain popular. That means, bitcoin is part of blockchain or a product that came out from blockchain and would not go down. It can only reduce in price and also increase because it is used as payment and financial transactions.
I get your point that blockchain has been known because of the bitcoin's popularity but did not you think why people used the bitcoin back then? it is because of Blockchain technology that offers resistance to data to be modified and alter, secured in short term.So technically speaking Blockchain made itself popular using bitcoin and whom we will be thankful for? Obviously the person/s behind the codename Satoshi Nakamoto. Besides it is only the blockchain technology that the government wants, not the stuffs running above on it, so it is possible that bitcoin can die in not for now at least.
5049  Economy / Economics / Re: $2.5 Million: Binance Invests in Aussie Crypto Payments Startup to Push Adoption on: December 26, 2019, 04:49:02 PM
As I have said in previous thread, Binance is now the gold standard as far as crypto exchanges.

They have said the bar so high that others platform as just left in the dust. They have been investing so much and that's a good thing. They are not like just wanted to make more out of this market. They are pushing the boundaries to make crypto be adopted globally so that's a good thing for all of us.
It seems like Binance exchange is now the bitcoin of the exchanges. Binance as the largest crypto exchange is being offensive since they are getting a lot of support from their users and project listings are just feeding them. Did you guys know that the binance investment on TravelByBit is just a cost of a single ( or maybe 2) coin listings? I know it costs a maximum $3million for a coin to be listed with full utility and advertisement. This is just a small fraction of what binance can do to influence using the cryptocurrenies. I hope other exchanges would follow the steps of binance in getting into mainstream.
5050  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has gone up the past week. on: December 26, 2019, 03:27:19 PM
It has gone up around $800, do you think they could run it up and then I would come down before January 1 before the new year. Or they will not come in to play?  I’m waiting for some money to clear to buy some. And I don’t know right now is the best time to buy
I wouldn't know, as long as it stays $7K, for me it's a good sign already.
Bitcoin is not stable in the previous months, it pump to $10,000 from 6K now we are slowly getting back at that range, good those small increase help a bit.
Yeah, it is a good sign of bitcoin doing just well this year coz it will be having its halving summer next year. $7K is not bad at all for its buying price now, In fact on $7K range is the average price point which I can conclude the safest range to buy bitcoin since it is sitting on that bench for a long time, not new for old bitcoin holders to wait such a long time before earning. Instead of waiting with bitcoin, why not look with potential altcoin? perhaps it is showing good results too.
5051  Economy / Economics / Re: Hong Kong protestors call for sanctions against HSBC bank on: December 26, 2019, 02:43:58 PM
Banks are left with no choice. They run on fiat, under the government. Non-compliance would hurt their business more. They can't pretty much do anything, since the government politicians and law enforcement could always use their power at their will. They also aren't able to support cryptocurrencies either since it is also restricted by the government.

HSBC is not in control of such, articles also states that the account closing was conducted by the police, and not voluntarily conducted by HSBC themselves.
It is not that HSBC left with no choice but rather they are the one who is making the choice. Technically Hong Kong is just a part of China so whatever the China does they are affected too especially these days that Hong Kong is in fight for their freedom against China. However China doesn't have the full control on HSBC but there is a huge fraction of HSBC that is operating on China which will cost them billions if they choose to reside with Hong Kong's protesters. This is also why there is a surge on bitcoin's price in Hong Kong because of the crisis they are experiencing right now.
5052  Economy / Economics / Re: Your plan if no significant move on Bitcoin price along with the halving? on: December 26, 2019, 01:10:15 PM
My guess was as similar as the popular decision over here. Not that i would be selling all my bitcoins if it ever crosses $20K  Grin again. Whatever happens i sell some when i need it and hold the rest to continue to make profit of it. That's called an investment strategy Cool.
It is not impossible for bitcoin to reach at $20K again and halvings already prove that it can greatly affect the price of bitcoin and another alternative coins however the market has changed after the previous halving. The previous halving occurred in 2016 which made the bitcoin market explode but then it dumps after a while, but that is not what I'm talking about coz I'm referring to changes in the market in terms of people/users/investors of bitcoin that hold and waits for the upcoming halving expecting the price to pump again. Way back 2016 there are lesser people talking about the halving which took the dump long after the pump, So I guess the dump after the halving in 2020 will just take a month of less and that dump will be massive.
5053  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: two gambling games that are players favorite on: December 26, 2019, 11:32:12 AM
There are two games gamblers like this are card games and dice games ive seen people who look for this games everywhere , because this games are easy to learn and dont need too much effort how to do it, at the same time there is a bit high chance to win, aside from other games do you agree with me, feel free to share ypur opinion thanks
Well, in card games you may include a lot: Poker, Blackjack, Bura, Seka and etc, there are really a lot but which games do you include in dice games? Cause dice is dice and it's single game. Maybe you include crypto games in it? Like: Crash, Bitsler's Dicey 7's and etc?
The OP should have stated more specific games because there is no doubt that card and dice games are the most played games in gambling since it has a basic mechanics which is bet, wait and see result.

These games are popular because they mostly depend on luck and that's very wild for players, skill based games aren't popular and will never be popular online because someone can easily calculate moves and etc (for example in chess) and in overall, win there depends on who owns the better computer.
Luck is what you always need even you have the skill there is still a lot for you to get the result you want. Like poker you can learn how to play smart and wise, you can expect what card to be drawn next, you can basically outplay your opponent by bluffing but all that thing is better with luck since result scales from probability. I agree pure skill based games aren't going to be a thing like car racing which needs a visual playing skill.
5054  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Preparing for a recession... Gold or Bitcoin? on: December 26, 2019, 10:13:14 AM

i have been buying Gold since college(same as silver) and i found a lower chance of profit from this investing compared to what i have got in crypto back then in 2017 so for me?recession will never hinder me from buying Bitcoin again and again and Gold will be remain as my accessories than investments.
so in this case?and with the response of community?still bitcoin is the choice of many.

Another thing is that in most countries you cannot just go and buy a gold bar to store it safely. Just golden jewelry, coins or papers proving the ownership of some gold stored somewhere. With BTC, you can store it with yourself. You can make a cold wallet and hide it from anyone, including authorities.
As well, in case of crisis, robber can steal your physical gold. Yet (unless they are well informed by someone) they will not steal your cold wallet (or will not get access to your hardware wallet), because they will not be aware of what is it.


That is definitely a huge problem for gold, when it comes to bitcoin you do not even need to have a paper wallet which a smart thief could steal from you, if you can memorize your seed words then you always have your bitcoin with you but there is no evidence at all in any piece of paper or electronic device that you are in fact holding bitcoin, and that is something that gold will never be able to do and it is a great advantage in the case of an economic crisis.
Bitcoin as new economic class is a great escape from economic crisis however Gold out-scale bitcoin on this aspect. Why? because gold's value is not dependent on demand and supply but on its metal properties found in it which is not common in any other metal, moreover gold is beneficial than fiat currency which can be easily devalue when crisis comes because it has no intrinsic value but only mandated value and belief on what it is going to have equivalent with. Bitcoin on the other hand contains too much volatility and even if people chooses it there is no guarantee that it will save them from crisis.
5055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with Fiat or Crypto? on: December 26, 2019, 08:30:45 AM
I prepared crypto online gambling than fiat online gambling, honestly believe me or not I am not playing gambling before through online because of crypto online gambling I start enjoy to get the opportunity.
I agree it is really convenient to play online using cryptocurrency. This is only the reason why I am playing gambling again although I know to myself that I am not addicted to it but there is a time that I am thinking that it is also good trying your luck sometimes so that I use to play with gambling online.
Because of the gambling now are online people can easiliy play gambling without no one that you are gambling player just like before traditionally people need to go to a casino to play gambling but now it's high tech which is really helpful for all player and qe have two choices to use is either fiat or crypro but me personally I prepare using crypto too just like most of the player of gambling.
With respect to what is convenient, the means of gambling should depend on what convenient in playing. So if you are playing any type of gambling it is best to use what its primary mode of currency, online is to cryptocurrency and offline is to fiat. Now that we are talking online gambling the best to use is cryptocurrency although there are some that offers fiat too my stand is to use crypto.

I gamble fiat illegal gambling in my street it called pusoy  a card games, but after I try online crypto gambling I enjoy it no hassle to caught by the authorities.
Me too I'm also playing pusoy card game but I don't play at high table coz it is illegal , seems like you are in the same country as I am  Grin

If you want risk then gamble, sometimes gambling is not just about losing or winning it's about the entertainment and sometimes bonding time with your friends when you go to casinos and treat yourself, as long as you are just losing what you afford to lose you are all good. Just enjoy nothing lose when you enjoy the game  Wink
5057  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trade Your Privacy to ₿itcoin? on: December 25, 2019, 01:10:34 PM
Would you be willing to trade your location, name, and any other private and personal details over BTCitcoin? Yes? No? Why?
I know many of us have already submitted countless documents to various cryptocurrency exchanges just to pass their KYC process and comply with AML but how far would someone be willing to give up just to get a part of that precious BTCitcoin?
the title a little bit misleading lol

i thought it is kind of get through the kyc and get rewarded by some bitcoins haha , eventhough i do really love my privacy but when it comes to have no choice to completed the kyc in order to be able start buying bitcoin i think it is just fair and worth the risk.

but in case there is a lot of option available to buy bitcoin without have to provide those documents, hell no.
i do anything to acquire bitcoin.
That is not misleading lol, because most of the bounty needs KYC and I think that's one kind of selling your information for a bitcoin/altcoin, and sometimes when there's a new trading platform to exchange your bounty rewards, there's a need to pass KYC again. That is not good because I heard some news that those shady exchanges are selling their user info in exchange for money. We need to be cautious about our personal information. Just my opinion don't do KYC unless it's badly needed.

Marami kang makikita na ganyan sa sabungan yun iba hindi naman talaga kailangan ng pera pero, naglalaro lang sila at pumupusta kase masarap sa feeling ang maglaro. Basta dapat tama lang ang paglalaro para hindi ito mauwi sa adiksyon.

For me it's just simple, the biggest exchange is the best exchange. Only because lot's of traders are going there to trade which means a lot of people are trusting it, so with regards to the safety of your funds I think you cannot complain about safety for example to Binance. And for me, the biggest exchange establishes their names so why trade on the new exchange if big exchanges are there and can guarantee the safety of your funds.
5060  Economy / Economics / Re: Top Three Emotions to Check to Succeed! on: December 25, 2019, 10:22:27 AM
Sometimes emotions can go to us to our sucess and our failure it depends on we are handle it for sure we do not know how to control our emotion it can cause a bad effects on what we are doing but if we know our limits and know to manage our emotions they have a big possibility that we are going to success and achieve what we want.
Emotions are tough to handle. When it regards to trading it's hard to control when the market is on shit, and no one has an idea on what's happening, For example, the coin that you are holding dumped for no reason the only thing that you are going to do is to sell because that's the only option you think. Then you do it, that's because of the emotion. Emotion is hard to handle the same with success, and I think a very few people are managing their emotion so that they are rich today.

Confidence is really a must but having overconfidence on oneself will not bring any good at all. We might commit mistakes and fail most of the time but if we try to control our emotions as much as we can, then it's more likely that we will gain positive result in the end.
Should be aware of too underestimating things aswell, I've read some people with dunning kruger effect could have an inflated self-assessment towards their own capability and that's a really bad thing and being overconfidence will just become a catastrophe to oneself. It's always our ability to read the current circumstance and be aware of it before being confident. Though sometimes I think that being overconfident and greed always correlate to each other.
confident is needed, but will backfire if we are too confident, so do not pay attention to risk and force yourself with market movements that occur. therefore staying alert is the key to always being consistently profitable. maintaining psychological stability remains a lifelong lesson


The best thing is to balance all your emotion because if something is too low, it will not be alright. If something is too high, it will also not be alright, and If you are maintaining your emotion, then you are good to go to, every market crash that is going to happen I am sure that you can handle it.
