5161  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the safest crypto online games to start if you are a Newbie? on: March 30, 2020, 04:54:57 AM
Dice and Roulette. If you were ignorant about basically anything else, these two would be the best to start with since after playing 2-3 games, you'd immediately learn the odds of you winning and losing. If you were a bit more knowledgeable about sports, then start with that. It coincides with what you enjoy watching after all, so it's a much more preferable start if you know the stuff that concerns about it. Dice and roulette can be quite repetitive, so it's only an entry-level. Play cards after gambling for a bit since it gives a bit more enjoyment out there. Different combinations, different mindsets, psychological factors and the like, thinking of stuff like those can give you quite an enjoyment.
5162  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the government understand? on: March 29, 2020, 03:10:41 PM
They do and that's why they are trying to give out whatever help they can, and they hope that the people would understand the reasons for the lockdowns and quarantines currently understanding. It isn't a matter of money IMO, there are millions of people in a country and if the government were to fund each and every one of them, it would take an astronomic amount. Not to mention the funds they would need to spend on supplies, as well as possibly researching regarding the virus.

Any kind of help for them is nearly dead at the moment. Not to mention them, even us who are relatively well aren't able to help for the long term. Sure, we can try to give out food and supplies to them, but that would only be a temporary approach. The fundamental problem wouldn't really be solved.
5163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone here dream of achieving their financial goal in life through gambling? on: March 29, 2020, 01:51:34 PM
Nope. Though it depends on what a goal is tbh. Some people have a goal of spending and earning without saving anything ( there are a lot of weird people out there ) so some may hit the jackpot with your question. As for me though, Gambling is just for fun, a hobby in a sense ( and tbh, a bad one). I don't doubt that if I ever start playing addictively, I could potentially lose my assets and myself and I am totally not prepared for it. Not to mention that only a few friends of mine know that I gamble, and I honestly doubt they would be able to stop me if I am ever to become an addicted gambler. Sides, gambling in of itself is a luck game. It's like your literally and I mean literally, leaving your life up to luck. You literally get two cards, then bam, your life is decided without any notion of you interfering for it.
5164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Betting Double After Losing is Really a Good Decision? on: March 29, 2020, 12:25:55 PM
No. But that doesn't mean you can use it. To be perfectly honest, the only good decision in gambling is not to play or participate in gambling sessions. I like using the martingale strategy cause it makes my brain believe that there's logic in what I'm doing when in all honesty, it's all just based on luck. Though that belief often gets crushed after losing twice or thrice my original bet. It's quite logical if you think of it, but in its purest sense, luck isn't something that was supposed to be logical, it was supposed to be filled with illogical stuff and the like. Though experience is a factor, it's more like the gut and something like that.
5165  Economy / Economics / Re: We are about to see the monetary power of the U.S. government on: March 29, 2020, 11:39:00 AM
No matter how high the stimulus check would give out, I doubt that people would invest it in the market. The government would probably feel pretty stupid if they saw how the money they gave out to be used for supplies to resolve the outbreak problem be used in investment that would probably take some time before producing results. Not to mention that those that would receive the full stimulus check would be those on the lower end of financial power, which in all honesty, are probably in dire need of funds with their main source of income currently being cut off because of the current lockdowns. There'd probably be a few out there who would invest, but the majority probably wouldn't
5166  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We are having the difficult time, are you still a Bitcoin HODL? on: March 29, 2020, 08:36:03 AM
Exited the market when it was around $9k. Had to cause of a few projects of mine that needed some funds and sadly, the outbreak pretty much cut off most of my source of funds. Might re enter, but it honestly depends on how the current outbreak continues. Without any source of stable income, investing seems quite scary IMO. For HODL moments, it doesn't really depend on the current situation of the market or it's possible futures but rather depends on the capability of the HODLER themselves. Cause honestly, if you're gonna hodl, does the current price matter? As long as you can afford it, you can freely buy and hodl it. It's a matter of if you are willing to spend currently
5167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble right after coronavirus outbreaks? on: March 29, 2020, 08:18:32 AM
I'd probably have to stabilize my current money flow. The lockdown kind of ruined it, with expenses here and there but no constant income. Pretty much ruined my budgeting plan for every month, So i'd rather stabilize that first before trying to go and gamble. Sides, after the outbreak, I doubt businesses would be able to return to normal immediately. Some, maybe, but most of them would probably have to adjust, just like what my problem is, to the issue of the ruined flow of money for their business. Not to mention that some businesses require supplies from other companies, so it solely depends on how they would work out.

On the other hand though, I'm using e platforms to gamble from time to time in the past, so maybe that's what I would return to. Not much Casinos in my place anyways.
5168  Economy / Economics / Re: Chinese Strategy? on: March 29, 2020, 06:14:23 AM
Isn't that kind of blowing it out of proportion? I mean, yea, questioning most often than not shows results. After all, answers only come out after someone questions the reason or cause, but I doubt that China would risk the population of their entire country to spread the virus around. They'd basically be doing a suicide bombing using thousands of people or something after all.

Ok, so let's say that was really not intended and I already know what China is capable of building things. Now what are your stand on China having a 90++% recovery rate
Tried to look stuff up about this, I don't really know if its accurate or not but a few reports have indicated that some of those "Recovered" patients are actually just errors. Once they came back to the hospitals, they tested positive after a few more tests. The reasons were mostly about human errors, but who knows? Maybe there's more to the virus than they know of. Sides, China having that much of infection rate is attributed to the solid stand they have in terms of lockdowns and quarantines.
5169  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Privacy in Bitcoin on: March 29, 2020, 05:56:19 AM
Isn't comparing freedom of speech to financial freedom kind of stupid? They argue about freedom, yes, but they have completely different notions if you think about it. Also, why the use of against? Idk if it was a grammar error but isn't it fight for it? Anyhow, just by using Bitcoin or crypto, you're already entitled to the privacy you want. The only issue that crops up with BTC usage is KYC, but there are still DEX's out there that you can try using. Not to mention the mixers that help in resetting the coins you currently own.

kyc is now implemented on this times and required to some service such as exchanges  , ico's investing  , etc but for sending btc and recieving this doesnt really require a kyc beause many wallets dont require it  .
Exchanges are platforms for you to buy and sell. You'd basically require KYC there. Wallets don't require KYC, yes, because you own those as a personal property. But if you were using an exchange to trade coins and fiat, you'd need to register up for KYC.
5170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are you doing now? on: March 28, 2020, 01:42:01 PM
Nothing aaaa. I often played online poker in the past but honestly, playing it every day has bored me to death recently. And let's not mention the issue with the money, just makes the problem worse IMO. I tried playing with a few friends online even with imaginary money, but it still doesn't really give me anything new, especially again, if you play it every day. I used to play a few times per week at most but this has caused me to play a few times per day instead. No idea why but my passion for drawing recently got blown up so now I'm practicing literally 6-7 hrs every day. Pretty fulfilling, but I might get bored again after a few more weeks. Gotta find something new to do.
5171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are comfortable investing in government controlled investments on: March 28, 2020, 11:54:19 AM
Well I just hope that the people who realize it are not only those educated ones, and not only those who can act about it. Banks and the government keep pushing this inefficient system of theirs because it let's them stay at control, but honestly, it's just because of how ignorant most people are regarding how the economy flow goes. Naturally, bitcoin is an option and one that is naturally favored by most, especially those that are frowning upon the system of banks, but there are still a few other assets that could be a safe haven out there, so it depends.

Though if banks keep pushing for the same system to go on and on, they might be able to push their way in against those people with no knowledge of the economy. I mean, they've done it for a few decades already right? Plus, they still have assets to fall back upon when everything goes loose, so they may not necessarily lose their influence.
5172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: E-gambling on: March 28, 2020, 11:19:07 AM
IMO, people should calm down and probably lessen the amount of money they gamble. Times are dire right now, with how the virus keeps spreading, not to mention that a possible recession might come after the virus. You never know when you would need money, so might as well save up some. Not telling people to stop gambling though, just that to ease up and probably gamble a few times less compared to normal. Though I have to agree, e gambling platforms are a pretty convenient way for one to participate in some gambling sessions with others.

5173  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to make a good Announcement for a new token? on: March 28, 2020, 10:14:04 AM
The most general requirements would be don't do anything stupid, and do it correctly. To be specific, well, I don't have to iterate what "stupid" means right? Up to you to decide on that. Correctly basically means that information is complete and all requirements are passed out. Just imagine it as creating a research paper for a thesis, it needs to be solid, backed by facts, everything is relied upon by data, and no false information is disclosed no matter what.

Not in the announcement part but before doing as such, might as well prepare a plan for at least 2 - 3 years ahead. Show the people that you actually have something planned, not the notion of your only going to plan after getting the recognition of the people.
5174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gold quickly becoming more scarce. Which will be worth more, Bitcoin or Gold? on: March 28, 2020, 08:02:21 AM
Most of us are trying to push BTC to be above gold yes, but honestly. The difference in the span of time of the two being used is way too vast. Even if we account the era difference, it would probably still take a decade or so before Bitcoin surpasses gold. Not to mention that Gold may increase in price in the near future due to the possible recession that is on its way. Even if we do say that Bitcoin could reach the price of gold in a few years time, it would probably stay there for a few hours at most. If we look at its usage, you could see that gold beats BTC by a mile as a store of value all because of how volatile BTC is. If we consider BTC reaching the price of gold for just a few hrs as a win, then sure, but honestly, that seems an empty argument. It needs to reach the price of gold and hold there, maybe go lower by a few hundreds but never going below a certain point.
5175  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think? on: March 28, 2020, 07:27:38 AM
Possibly. Just that I doubt this pandemic is going to end in just a few months. Yes, the vaccine is currently in its first stages of testing, but that requires time as well to see if results could actually be satisfactory. Not to mention that the vaccine itself is safe for human intake and the like, and that would take another round of testing. If anything comes up or pops up in between, the market price of crypto may fall more than we've ever thought. Though it has seen some good days recently, it still hasn't been able to break out of the $7k and is only playing around below that. If, let's say, the leading personnel for the plus token scam comes out, they could potentially cause another market crash.

Panic wouldn't leave the market, at least for now. Not until a vaccine is made, one that can be publicly released and one that anyone can pretty much have access to. You'd probably see a huge surge upwards once a vaccine comes out.
5176  Economy / Speculation / Re: COVID-19 - The major reason for the current fall of Bitcoin on: March 28, 2020, 06:49:44 AM
Correction, Bitcoin entered the year pricing at around $7.5k. It only reached $9.5k by the end of February or something. As for the fall of BTC, yea if you trace it back, the major cause of it would be the virus, though blaming it all on it could be wrong. There was the plustoken scam after all, and the stock market crashed first before the crypto market did. We can probably assume that some traders thought that the same would happen to crypto, because it happened in the stock market, so they proceeded to sell their coins. This probably caused a bandwagon effect which pretty much lead to the recent lowest drop of BTC to $3.9k. There might even be more for the next few months. The recession seems to be quite near tbh, plus the possible economic losses that would be totaled out once the virus panic has passed by.
5177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Longest Break You Have On Not Gambling on: March 28, 2020, 05:27:18 AM
Broke away from gambling when I had a few financial problems. Lasted for about half a year almost? I had to regulate the cash flow I had going on at the time so I couldn't really get to gambling at the moment. Ngl though, when I came back boy was it enjoyable. It felt like all of my entire time gambling couldn't even hold a candle to the time I spent when I came back. From then on, I decided to make a habit out of it and decided to leave the gambling for a few months every now and then before coming back to play another few months. It honestly makes everything more enjoyable and makes it feel like less of an addiction now but more of a hobby or something.
5178  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin last forever? on: March 27, 2020, 01:31:02 PM
Possibly. Just that, it takes a similar idea such as BTC to possibly exceed it. Right now, no one could think of anything passing through BTC, with its fame bringing it to its current state right now. Not to mention that you could say the crypto scene is only starting to take shape and can only be considered an infant in the global scale. As for anything passing BTC by any time? You gotta go and tell that to those big shots that don't let it go down.

There was never a thing that stayed to date. Whether it be fashion, leadership, trend, everything would have its end. It's a matter of how long it takes before it bites the dust. It may take a similar idea for Bitcoin to overtake it, but in the end, it still got overtaken.
5179  Economy / Speculation / Re: Guys avoid panic sell... on: March 27, 2020, 10:45:41 AM
Even if you manage to influence one, another would probably stand up against it. Maybe two, four, tens, or more. Sadly, only those with big bucks be the one to continue holding. more than 50% of the BTC supply right now hasn't moved ever since the bull run of 2017, and you can guess that even if BTC moved to below $3k, I doubt those people would move it. The market price is generally moved by those day traders, and honestly, it's a problem for day traders as well right now. Trading is a kind of a side gimmick, and their main job influences the amount of money that flows into trading. Now, since because of the quarantine, those jobs are temporarily postponed no? And day traders would most likely not risk much regarding that, so you can't really hope for much with this. IMO, better wait for the virus to pass before asking others to hodl and not panic. Would probably be much more effective.
5180  Other / Politics & Society / Re: This Is Our Last Chance to Protect Our Privacy Amid the COVID-19 Crisis on: March 27, 2020, 06:23:29 AM
Isn't it just like monitoring the countries you can and can't go depending on the current state of affairs at that time? If so, then I'm all up for it. Especially with how the example of China gave us where they unilaterally let residents of Wuhan travel all around the globe to seek refuge. Look at what that caused no? And you're putting the moves of the government way too deep. It's just to prevent the spread of the virus. Why did the matter of life and death even come up? I mean, you as a governing body would not want a virus to spread towards your own jurisdiction right? Sides, these answers come up because of the lack of strategy to upvote privacy. Yes, some are developing, but without it bringing an overall good effect towards the country, I doubt it could be a potential plus on the peoples books.
