5181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Walmart Digital Coin Succeed Facebook Libra? on: August 06, 2019, 03:12:23 AM
Simple answer is, they cannot, they won’t even get the chance to live not to talk of competing with a project that will not be established too, look at what Libra coin is already facing in the hands of the government, they are already have lots of government strongholds that will not allow the project to work because it seems to jeopardize the work of the government more, but if Facebook and Libra coin create theiron coin, who would make the project to succeed.

Is it same people that already have investment in other cryptocurrency; is it some citizens that would prefer to go by their country’s cryptocurrency too? If they like, they create heaven and earth all over again, there is no way it can succeed, what I actually expected these people to do was to support Bitcoin and integrate it into their own already existing system.

I never tried to gamble with lot of money because I have lot of hobbies for that I need to spend more money than for the gambling that I could but I played most of the time with random but amount no matter of how much I am I'm having on that gambling account.

Luckily I didn't go bankrup but didn't mafe any considerable amount as rewards as well just neutral life.
I believe only those who do not have what to do with money spend so much on gambling. We are alike, I only gamble when I have spare money and the highest amount I may have spent in gambling is less than 0.02 Btcs. Gambling never favors me and the few times I played were an absolute waste of money. Maybe those regular players who play with so much money has a special method for playing because gambling to me is a game that exploits players, no one ever wins

Also you cannot go bankrupt when you are wise with money, those who go bankrupt are those undisciplined, addicted players that have tied their hope of making it in life to gambling alone.

It is true that you should be responsible with your money but these scammers are so smart, they are used to what they are doing which is fooling people out of their money. Not all projects are a scam since there is a lot of them getting profits, but that is shortlived. I think what ruined the ICOs are the hunters that immediately selling of their payment in a lower price resulting into more hunters selling it to more lower prices for their coins to be bought faster than the others.
As a smart investor, I also believe that we should have passed the stage where we should be fooled by any scammer, the only thing that can be justified is if they hacked into our account to steal our fund, but not that we were fooled into leaving the money to them at this age where it is so simple to spot put dirty and useless projects.

I know it is not easy to do research and laziness to do so is what has been destroying a lot of people and making them fall for these bad projects, and one of the best way to still protect our investment is just to stay in a reliable project and in a reliable exchange, once we have these two, then I am certain that whatever investment that we put into the market will be a very safe one that we can make use of at any time.

I found this picture on reddit. Now it is clear to me why Trump wanted interest rate to decline more. He will have slim chances for re election if recession hit already this year. Sadly recession this or next year will not help Bitcoin at all. We might even see new bottom.

[im g]https://i.redd.it/6nibh2pkz3e31.png[/img]
What kind of recession are you expecting to happen, you think countries will still watch till they plunge into recession, when we talk of recession now, we don’t have to generalize it again, there can never be generally recession, it has been how many years now that people has been talking about recession, and yet we are not seeing any, is that not supposed to send signal already that many countries are already doing everything possible to avoid recession.

If they can guard against recession, then we should not expect any recession to happen. In my country, we already have our own recession silently which not many people knew about it and we are over already, so as some countries have had theirs at low key, so which recession are you then expecting that would make the world?
5185  Economy / Speculation / Re: Good news! Bitcoin Price Breaks $10K Barrier on: August 04, 2019, 08:57:31 AM
Wow, popular cryptocurrency bitcoin price breaks $10k barrier after having a fourth bullish day in a row.

Will bitcoin price increase in the upcoming days?
It could be possible for it to continue to break more barriers if the bulls are strong enough to continue pushing it and it may also be quite difficult because of the strong presence of bears we have. I have just stopped speculating the price of bitcoin for now, because there are so many unseen factors that are really controlling the price of bitcoin which makes it quite difficult for us to really know exactly what direction bitcoin will be taking at any point in time.

Right now, the only thing I just keep my mine in is the long term benefit of bitcoin, that is why I am not holding bitcoin as short term trade, but for future investment, I know that in the next three years, bitcoin value will be so far greater than the current value it is holding right now, so better I just hold till I am satisfied of the profit.
5186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 17,800,000 BTC already mined on: August 04, 2019, 07:34:24 AM
Anyone noticed that we have breached 17,800,000 BTC already? Which means that 85% of all BTC have been mined. And in the next 10+ years we can all assumed that 'almost' all bitcoin is mined already. Have you accumulated at least 1 BTC in your wallet?

Current bitcoin mined:  17,851,062 BTC  
That is really a food for thought for everyone really including me, I believe that by now, averagely, everyone should already have at least 1 BTC in their wallet, I am not talking about new investors who are still new to bitcoin or the richer ones though, because those ones accumulate bitcoin like they buy popcorn on the road. Bitcoin Is really close to closing the gap of the total supply of bitcoin.

In 10 years bitcoin has already mined almost 70 percent of the total supply of bitcoin, which means there is possibility of these supply getting exhausted in another 10 year’s time, so I am wondering where some people are getting the arithmetic of 2140 from, which is about 95 years from now. I know that bitcoin will start getting quite high gradually, but that would still not stop people from buying it no matter how expensive it is.
5187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Video] How do Casinos make money? on: August 03, 2019, 02:05:56 PM
Casinos are the only business who don't care about you, because they keep encouraging you to play more despite that you lose big money already and for sure every casinos know that thing. There are so many ways for them to earn, but of course its already on their system and luck can only your chance to earn money as well. Its a win win situation for every casinos, that's why many investors are trusting this kind of business.
I beg to disagree, they are not the only business that does not care but they are the only business that customers fall more to their tricks. Every business man is concerned about himself and the growth of his business and would do everything possible to make clients come for purchase but at the end of the day, it’s always the choice of the clients but this is not the same with gambling.

I really do not understand how gambling sites do it that despite how much lost by the players, they keep on playing and let’s be honest, casino operators do not encourage players to proceed with games when loosing excessively, it’s just the gamblers that choose to continue because of the fun in the games.

There are so many ways they make money aside what is lost by players, they make money from promotions and partnerships. It’s a good business
5188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale revisited on: August 03, 2019, 12:21:56 PM
If you are into gambling to make money, then I suggest you start thinking of an alternative source of money making because gambling is definitely not one of those. Gone are those days. The gambling I used to know, people made money, maybe because there were no strategies like we use today. These days even with the strategies, it’s so difficult to beat the house edge. I feel the site operators are aware of the efforts of gamblers to going through the back doors, so they made it a little bit more difficult.
Right now, the only way to enjoy gambling is to play for fun and top thinking of making money, let the profit that comes from playing for fun be appreciated and maximized for better games.
Totally unacceptable bro, I think this strategy never worked, so it didn’t start  today and I will like to like to correct the idea of playing for fun, I think you can't impose your opinion on other players. Someone like me for instance, I am so determined to make money from gambling and I believe and understand that this is what this game is designed for, the only thing I can then do for myself is to play with care and also watch how I play my games but advising that players accept to only play for fun is what I call am impossible mission.

Not winning games has got nothing to do with the site owners, it is just not doing the right thing. Martingale strategy might not be working but there are definitely others that works, so the idea should be players, going to the extreme to dig out what strategy works for their games.
5189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone here have some strategy to gain money, but with low profits daily? on: August 02, 2019, 04:59:58 PM

That's very stupid idea. Gamble shouldn't do for long, get out asap when you are in profit and forget about it.
Your grammar is ridiculous lol.

I know that not everyone would like it because it's a different approach to gambling. It's not for entertainment purposes but possible profiting. It's just a suggestion, and the topic is about low profit daily. How would you even achieve that without some strategy? Let's see you do it.
I think we should learn not to ridicule others and also  to understand that we are from different countries and there is every tendency of some people using translators but the most important thing is for the message to be passed across and well understood and I believe I can comprehend clearly what the upper poster tried explaining . We are here to correct and learn from each other and not to discriminate.

That being said,  concerning your question, I get it correctly, I will say that winning or making profit is not only tied to strategies but rather skills, there are so many skilled players that never depend on strategies but keep winning on daily basis, the important thing is to understand your game, though strategies are also very important.
5190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: if you want to win big...accept defeat on: August 02, 2019, 11:45:27 AM
Are you stupid @OP? If you lose everything you have to gambling that means you have addiction, don't accept defeat and try again, get help.

Gambling should be a hobby, anybody losing substantial sums needs to reconsider their life choices, there is no practices makes perfect when playing games of luck.
I will advise you read the post and let it sink before throwing insults, I see nothing wrong with what the op just mentioned there, it was just an advise that I believe would be beneficial to those it may concern. Gambling might be an hobby to you but definitely not to everyone and I will like to disagree that gambling is an hobby. I believe over 8% of players, even those that that pretend to be playing it for fun has a part of their heart willing to make money, so it’s better to know the dos and don’ts to making money.

Honestly, the habit of wanting to recover is one mistake that is been repeated by so many gamblers because we always believe it’s a solution but rather, it’s a big problem. The OP has explained better and nothing more can be added, it is important we all learn how to accept defeat.
5191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is better Government run Lottery or private run Lottery on: August 01, 2019, 07:47:54 PM
The government would be the best choice if you want the lottery to be more transparent since there are some problems that would rise up if another private sector would own a lottery. Some people might think a monopoly if another company owns it because we all know how much money does a lottery owns just by looking at the said jackpot prizes.
I think if we were truly to look into transparency then government is not the best to do this, I am not saying that private sectors are free from corruption but cannot be compared to the level of corruption in the government. And talking about monopoly, I think it’s not possible with lottery since it requires very capable hands to handle this and most times, they are more like charitable organizations and everyone understands this
I believe it’s unconstitutional for government to handle lotteries and also there are so many reasons why government cannot handle lotteries since they consider gambling activities and lottery is also related  to this. So in my opinion, lotteries have also been better handled by private and its best it remains that ways
5192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker Career on: August 01, 2019, 06:41:23 PM
My advice is that you will never become a Poker player because this is not an employment.
Gambling is only for fun and if you try to do it professionally you will end up loosing everything.
You are very right and its quite unfortunate that so many gamblers would not accept this truth, having gambling game as a career is like creating a hole in a pocket full of money because it will definitely go dry with time.

The aspect gamblers fail to understand is that it is possible to go into gambling with an entertainment mentality and yet make so much money but at the same time, one can enter with the heart of playing professionally and still keep on losing money.

Poker games is my most favorites gambling games and considering my expertise in this game, I ought to have considered it a profession but I refuse to do this because I understand gambling so well. Players who take it for a profession never make money from it and those who play for fun, can end up even making more, moreover, gambling is too full of uncertainty for anyone to consider it a s a profession.
5193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: KYC Process (Sportsbook) on: July 31, 2019, 04:32:18 PM
I am not in favor of clearing KYC with gambling houses. Still, I have done few times for the reason of getting eligible for withdraw. I am into crypto space for the reason of being anonymous but again enforcing me for revealing my identity is something which makes my reason invalid why I am here.
5194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do crypto trading bots really generate profits? on: July 30, 2019, 07:28:01 PM
Even though it is called BOT, still without the contribution of the user manually too, it can never be completely perfect, I have used BOT before when BOT developers were still real and not full of lies, it is just like the way ICO first came out, but we can see what it has been turned to now ,this is the same way scammers has taken charge of bot and using it also as a means to have access into people’s trade and account to be able to manipulate it, so most of the BOTS we have right now , are just full of malwares.

Therefore, I would not really advice you to use any BOT service or else, you may get what you did not bargain for. For me, it is better you even trade with your God given brain than to consider bot that is not being developed to trade half way for you and then use the remaining half to steal your money.
5195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Favorite platform? on: July 30, 2019, 06:35:14 PM
If you are required to choose one platform, which one you will choose as the right choice. Platform Ethereum or Platform TRON? and explain the reason for choosing it. Thank you for your time. Smiley
I will choose Ethereum platform because Ethereum has been dedicated to their platform ever since their inception. Ethereum as more solid technology than that of TRON, and I am beginning to see TRON as an unserious person from the recent moves he has been making, and moreover, most of the projects that you see are built on Ethereum platform. Secondly, why would you even compare the both, I am not sure that they run same technology.

TRON strictly run a technology of web browser and gambling, while Ethereum is a smart contract platform that is being used by many of these projects to develop their own project, so I do not really see any correlation between them. If I am to compare any project like that, it would be Ethereum vs EOS or BINANCE chain, and not with TRON, but generally speaking, Ethereum product is still far more recognized than that of TRON.
5196  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Year to year price levels chart on: July 30, 2019, 06:00:48 PM
Nothing to discuss here, this is purely a guess work and not based on fundamental analysis, but this year prediction of yours, it is still a bit realistic because we are almost close to closing up the gap, although it still require lots of work, but that value would be an easy target for bitcoin, but for the rest of your predictions, it absolutely has no reality in it.

You are thinking in one positive direction forgetting that there are so many negative factors that will militate against the continues surging of  bitcoin, do not forget that we will always have people that would panic sell, we would also always have whales that will manipulate the market and dump it when necessary. If bitcoin even dare get to $50k, so many people would sell their coin, thereby forcing us to bear market, and you know how long bear market usually take.
5197  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are USA traders saying sayonara to Binance? (The Exodus Is Here?) on: July 30, 2019, 05:27:17 PM
Yeah, I will probably take a two-pronged approach once the new Binance terms take effect in September. I'll make a new VPN account for Binance and then split my capital 50-50 between Binance and Kucoin. If Binance forces verification and catches us for violating terms, I think they would still allow us to withdraw in most cases. But reducing my exposure by 50% will make me feel safer.

I like your zeal for really going for it, but, I would not sneak around the rules like that. Binance may figure you out. But it will definitely effect your trading because in the back of your mind it will be psychologically effecting your trading outcomes. If Binance caught you breaking rules, I think Binance would still allow you to withdrawal your funds, but, I would suggest just complying by the rules. That is part of my trading plan that I recommend.

Binance does not owe you anything, they were a great provider when they were serving the USA users, plus they have given us all a 90 day warning.
People like to take unnecessary risk, is using Binance platform a do or die matter, you see that we are even the problem in this crypto industry, we complain of monopoly of some exchanges, and yet we are the ones empowering them, why will he violate the rule and use vpn when he can simply just move his coin to other great exchanges, his life is not tied to a particular exchange and if there was no Binance, would he not continue to trade?

Imagine that that hacking that happened then had affected them and closed them down, would he stop crypto business? There are so many exchanges that we have that has passed trust test, in fact Kucoin is one of such great exchange that any Us traders can use, and I am glad that they are willing to accept them wholeheartedly and offer them great services.
5198  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is KuCoin Becoming the Best Exchange for Trading? on: July 30, 2019, 03:53:42 PM
Im not a fan of kucoin, but i know they some significan upgrade.

The site was upgrade a few month ago, but the load of the site was pretty slow than before. I dont know its my internet/hardware or from they side, but to lagging went i visit them, i think to many widget on the platform.
well, coin is currently one of the most popular markets, so it's natural that it can be the best exchange place for now. however, binance is still the best exchange place to date, and has greater potential than coins. so, I think, I need to develop the exchange place again. In the future, of course, Coins also occupy the best places of exchangers.
I did not know how perfect Kucoin was until I started using them , Kucoin really has a very simple andnice platform, and they have very good services which is what many traders want, they also have very low trading fee but not like Binance though, but I believe that as they gradually increase in capacity, their fees too will gradually continue to drop.

If I am to advise any trader, especially newbies, other than Binance exchange, anther exchange to be consider would be Kucoin, because Binance is still the best but they have too much people using their exchange and I think a time will come that there network may start becoming too slow due to the overcrowded uses that will engulf their platform. Other exchanges that is see is great again is huobi and bittrex.
5199  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I lost my confidence... And fought to get it back. on: July 30, 2019, 03:02:17 PM
All we need is enough courage to accept the result and try again and again until succeed but many people stops once they lost due to the losses they had faced is very huge for them which shows why we are saying that affordable money should be the investment capital.
Not everyone you see that stopped has actually lost confidence in trading, we have so many people that did not acquire enough strategy and skills before they went into trading, and after they try their luck and they fail, some usually withdraw first to just go back and learn more before coming back to the market.

When I started trading, it happened to me too, I started learning to trade and because I was doing well with my practices, I did not wait to become perfect and I rushed into trading live till the extent that I started using margin trade, but after I lost heavily, I surely withdrew and went back to take more time to learn more, in fact it took me almost a year of staying back, but now I am perfect with my trades now after I have gone to learn more techniques.
5200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: KYC Process (Sportsbook) on: July 30, 2019, 02:32:53 PM
Some casinos are being regulated which in result they would need to abide with the laws that why they do ask KYC but majority of them nowadays

do only ask verification if there are various issues related to your account but besides on that they don't really ask something before you can able to play unlike on other typical casinos.
I think this regulation process is what so many gamblers are yet to understand correctly hence the fuss about KYC in gambling section. The truth is, no gambling site likes to lose its client and if the clients are not cool with submitting their private information, they could make it optional but the regulation which is mostly done by the government makes this difficult for them to do.

For me, I do no see ant big deal with this, once you have a trusted casino site, you should understand that whatever information submitted is safe. The only  thing is to try as much as possible  to avoid scam sites. Scam sites that ask for KYC can be very dangerous and they are the reasons people find it difficult to trust other genuine sites.
I think you also do not really understand it very well. This isn’t about regulation but about intruding into a player’s privacy. If you have studied crypt correctly, you will understand that many are interested in it because of its decentralized system, which supports anonymity to a very great extent. This is not an issue of trust or safety; it’s a matter of players not wanting to disclose their identity on a gambling platform. I think we should get that right.

Personally, if it gets to a point where KYC becomes compulsory on gambling sites because of the government policy, I might be left with no choice than to quit gambling completely because if I would drop my identity on any site, then definitely not on gambling platform, reasons are best known to me.
