521  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Banks are collapsing. Will Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rise from here?? on: April 11, 2023, 06:53:52 AM
I guess you could say we are really lucky that we know about cryptocurrencies and how to use them. When I travel, I just need to have my crypto wallet and smartphone with me so that I can feel comfortable in almost any country. But I still need to convert the cryptocurrency into national currency in order to do so. True, I don't have to declare at customs the amount of currency I take out of the country, which is also very convenient.
And this is something governments hate, when it comes to almost any other asset you will leave a trail which will allow the government to know that you are moving your wealth from one place to another, but bitcoin allows you to move your wealth in ways which are very private, in fact if you wanted you could move your coins without leaving any psychical evidence this is the case if you memorized your seed words and then you restored your wallet once you had passed through customs.
Some Governments are only concern in our safety. It will help them track the criminals easily if the transactions are recorded everywhere. In Bitcoin, it still possible to see the wallet activity but there are ways to make it private. One is by using a Mixer. This is why Governments are after them and they are now shutting them one by one. Memorizing seed phrase might be possible than the former private keys which compose of so many random characters but this was not advisable as there as still instances that we can forget it.

It's always better to have a back up especially if our goal is to HODL our BTCs for a long time. You can make multiple copies and hide them in different places. That way authorities won't find any evidence that you hold a crypto just in case they investigate you.
522  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Metamask - new feature that detects scams on: April 10, 2023, 05:20:59 PM
Finally such prevention has come, it's just mad that so many scams impersonating dapps stealing money through complicated means which abstract itself from becoming too obvious and they're successful at it, it needs to stop eventually.
Even though many have stated that such thing might be just futile attempt but regardless at least there's still warning that could just prevent some from making the transaction.
It's just made these days that to just use some smart contract we should be looking out for the fake version for it, even worse if we forget in revoking the permission of using the ERC20 it's gonna get stolen eventually.
It seems metamask team has finally realize that such thing is so rampant and this need immediate prevention.
We that are not new in here can now easily detect scams but we are still happy with the implementation made by Metamask because it helps newbies to possibly prevent being scammed. Gone are the days that when a newbie gets scammed, they will then blame all crypto and never go back here. Worse is they also warn the other people that they know to not engage here. That kills the adoption.

It's kind a late for Metamask to think of the idea but I guess this is better than nothing at all because at least they try and we know that they are concern. I just hope that other wallet providers will follow it and made their own versions too on how can we prevent crypto scams.
523  Economy / Speculation / Re: will bitcoin continue to rise on: April 09, 2023, 08:35:31 PM
We are in the midst of an echo bubble.  We will continue to pump, but will not see ATH this year.  My cost basis is at $47k because this is strong resistant point for btc and I’m sure that we won’t pump above that.  Believe me, I’ve been bag holding for a while now and there is zero chance I get to sell for a profit this year…
Thanks, I haven't heard echo bubble though, lol, care to explain it further? And I do agree, we won't see any ATH for this year, it's too early to see the price getting over the $69k range. And most likely we might see the price just above $40k this 2023.

But it is good though, just last year in November, we've seen the lower lows. But now this year, it's every different, we have this sort of run that every one talks about as if we are in the bull run like 2021 but we are not. So it's better to just continue to accumulate bitcoin as much as we can.
I only heard bubble and it means someone can pop but echo bubble can be the opposite of it. We are only at the beginning of the second quarter and we still have plenty of time left to see what Bitcoin has in store of us. Many are impressed in the performance of Bitcoin in the first quarter so they are expecting that it will do the same on the current quarter and onwards. Don't forget that last bull run in 2021, the prices have only pumping in the last quarter of the year.

You may think there is no chance anymore because the year is ending already but it will only shock you that it's actually possible. A price of over $40k is already decent. I am okay with it even if the rest of the increase will happen next year.
524  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ultimate (simple) guide on when to buy Bitcoin. on: April 08, 2023, 08:20:20 PM
There is only one ultimate advice (guide) when to buy Bitcoin - yesterday. No matter when you buy, there are still chances that the price will go down, or it will go up when you sell. But "yesterday" is the perfect day to buy, because you know what exactly to do today, sell, buy more or hold.

We have access to all the statistic data, we have most genius analytics, we have AI, but that does not help to create everyone rich after using ultimate buyers guy. That is why I see only two options, either there is no guide or "yesterday".
I think it was when the price is dumped and not necessarily yesterday because what if the price yesterday was on pumped? I don't think many people will buy but they will wait and it can take a day or two for the price to drop again.

If you mean by yesterday is when the time BTC was still a cent, there is still no way for the people to buy it because there is no such thing as time machine. Only those people who join BTC that time are lucky or knowledgeable but holding their coin for a long time is going to be a tough battle. I think only a few have been successful to hold up to this point. It will be better if we won't regret with our actions. We must only think that everything happens for a reason.
525  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia and others, move to use Yuan instead of dollar. on: April 08, 2023, 07:18:53 PM
What does this new development make for the US economy and the US dollar in the coming days and years to come
Maybe Dollar will be going to bankrupt?, but it looks impossible for the next 2 or 5 years because the dollar is ingrained in each country in the world. Other countries will not be easy to move or change the currency from Dollar to Yuan, As we know US won't just let those countries become world power to replace US hegemony so that mission will get obstacles from allies.

But if happen, and Yuan uses the same way (printing money without underlying) the result is the same as Dollar. there is no change whatsoever for developing countries.
I don't think this is the right term to use since they are not a business but they are only a currency although it's possible for it to become less valuable if many countries won't use it. It may take time because they will first consider if what are the consequences of doing it, if it's going to be beneficial in the long term or not and like you said, U.S won't let that easily happen.

The country might make some good deals about them only to remain on their side. If in case some will start using yuan, yuan might perform well but we don't know what can happen later on. Maybe what you said is true that they will end up like the dollar later on so it's still not beneficial in the long run. 
526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eredivisie 22/23 - discussion thread on: April 08, 2023, 05:44:42 PM
It's crazy how quickly an almost guaranteed plot in a league like the Eredivsie can change. Everyone expected Ajax Amsterdam to take the lead and keep it until the very end of the season, but then it only needs a few weeks of weakness and one team to exploit it and this is the case this time with Feyenoord Rotterdam. They are in an amazing position now. No more duels with PSV or Ajax or AZ, 8 points ahead which allows them 2 losses save, probably even three losses as the other teams won't win every single game most likely. So they can lose 3 out of 7 and they are not up against the top teams anymore. I am quite certain that this season is over Wink The last time they have been the champion was in 16/17.

Additionally, they are playing a great Europa League season and that would be the icing on the cake. We'll see how far they can make it.

For PSV and Ajax the KNVB final is still left to be played for. That is a bit of a relief for the team who wins it, and the loser of that final had a pretty bad season.
One thing is sure now no one can stop changes which are happening around soccer world and many clubs where were having mostly spots in middle or lower ranks having good changes due to their performance and consistency same happening here in Dutch League, and we have Feyenoord as the new winner after six years with Ajax and PSV are paying for selling their top players to big clubs without having suitable replacements hopefully now they will learn their lessons and try to bring improved players which will be able to give them better results in next season but in current season things are completely change and Feyenoord are having strong case for the double because domestic league pressure is released with this now they can give all intention to Europa Cup where now they are going to face AS Roma which beats them in last season in Conference League Cup now it's good time for having revenge and better results which will allow them to have spot into last four teams.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: April 07, 2023, 08:54:24 PM
I actually really feel bad that two teams, UAE, and USA, both of which are made up of foreign players, are going to be qualified. I really wanted to see teams that are made out of native players being qualified. But that did not happen. And of course, it is always going to be hard to happen.

After all, they are playing in the team as foreign players for a reason. This really should change very fast. Otherwise, cricket is not going to be alive amongst the associate nations, which are actually trying to find talent and not buy them.
We have six teams in this qualifying round with three having native players and three are with adopted players which are having good advantage, but sadly ICC is not interested in any solid policy about this all because of their inner politics so just because of this many countries are suffering like Namibia, PNG and Nepal and few countries are taking good results just because of their adoption policy which is helping them even in long run it's never been positive thing I was expecting USA and Canada to qualify from here, but sadly Canada lost against Namibia and this was big below for them which bring them down in table and UAE take good advantage of this and having spot in qualifying round which is now going to play before World Cup 2023 in India.
528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2022/23 on: April 07, 2023, 05:26:50 PM
This week a very important match will be waiting for us in terms of the course of the league. In the Benfica-Porto match, if Benfica wins the match, we can say that they are the definite champions. There is currently a 10 point difference between them and Porto and this difference will be 13 if Benfica wins. Braga will also wait for Porto to lose as they are following Porto closely. If porto loses this week and braga wins, they will take the 2nd place.
Just few minutes ago we have early start of 27th round with Leaders Benfica hosting Porto at Estádio da Luz Lisbon due to Benfica commitments in Champions League which is going to play on 11th April against Inter here on same stadium start is good for the host club as they have early lead through Costa own goal and now lead is 13th points which mean now title is under their control with just 7 matches remaining in this season.

Right now, we are in 24th minute of this game, if Benfica able to hold this lead and Porto lost this match then most chances they will lose second spot with Braga is having easy game against struggling Estoril which is fighting hard for staying into League for another season after having poor performance in throughout season.
529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 07, 2023, 03:34:15 PM
Based on lampard past performance, showed that they will defeat wolves with many goals to improve their points and to make people believe that lampard can make it happen in this season. Chelsea displayed some positive skills last match that made Liverpool fans to believed that Chelsea are about to improve their performance, because there is a new coach that is about to take them further. I don't think, lampard will miss this first opportunity with wolves, because he know all the secret of wolves which will be an advantage Chelsea will use to embrace victory from the match.
I am not agreed here, right now situation is not good and thing looking tricky because no one know how Lampard will go into this match and what strategy will he used with Wolves already beat Tottenham at home and have good time to do against Chelsea which is struggling badly due to Todd's poor decisions now his main focus is Champions League game against Real Madrid instead of Wolves so most chances we will have narrow win for the either team or end in a draw could be also acceptable on this short notice as well.

Performance of both teams are at level on based of last five games and home advantage could be vital for the Wolves which is looking for safe zone, and they can take good result from here which will help them for staying in better situation until end of this season but can Lampard bring changes in last few matches this is still big question mark.
530  Economy / Economics / Re: Where do we go from here on: April 07, 2023, 08:08:43 AM
There was a time where Elon musk is afraid of Robots with AI capabilities, saying they are dangerous to humans, there was a rumour about some incident where a robot threatened to crush him, I don't know how true is this, but not too long ago even the Microsoft boss Bill Gates is very concerned about the harms that AI could bring on humanity, saying something like AI might decides that humans are a threat. We do we go from here?
We are in the world of new technology and the new invention is always on the plan from the different developer it is really a threat but we will surely see this things in the future, we cannot stop it, this is a new generation with the worlds that full of new discovery and we are about to see different types of robotics invention i believe that it is a threats but we still need to try it and if there was a mistake then stop it for good.
I think ever new invention will be something some people will be afraid of. I am sure some people were afraid of the computers, and some were afraid of internet as well, I remember that, and I am sure there are a lot of people who are afraid that their phones listen to them today.

So whenever you build something new, there will be people who will be afraid of it, and I can tell you that it's not going to be that scary at all, it's going to be as boring as it gets and not going to annoy or hurt anyone. This isn't even a proper AI, it can't hurt anyone, it's a chat software that is boring and not going to be able to do anything with it at all, it's going to be nothing.

And probably that's why the Warriors as per Draymond wanted to face the Kings in the first round, because he knows that they don't have the experienced yet and maybe choke on a game series against 7. And the Kings lost to the Mavs today, they lead in the first 2 quarters but the Mavs with Christian Wood and Kyrie hitting that important 3's to seal the game for them.

Gonna be difficult for the Lakers specially against the Suns, who have Kevin Durant back in the line up now and Booker still playing good basketball even if Durant is in the floor with him.
That's true, facing a team that is not experienced in playoffs is a big advantage, I don't care if you are the third in the league or not, if you haven't bene to playoffs before, then you are not going to be playing that well. Plus with that going on, Warriors (or maybe lakers) knows that they are going to have a situation and be able to go to second round, after that it is going to be wildhorse and that is why it's not going to be as easy.

There is this road vs home type of difference for them and they will be mostly be at road during playoffs because they are lowly ranked and that's going to be something that they will have to end up with something to work towards.
532  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for the Next Great 1000x on: April 06, 2023, 07:08:00 PM
I think finding any token that will give you 100x profit in future is very difficult for me.Because to find such a coin you need a lot of effort.Because such a coin must have a low supply and a low market cap.Even if such a coin is found, investment in it can prove to be very risky.Because if it can give you huge profits, it can also cause you huge losses.Because that doesn't make it reliable at all.But you can invest in it on the condition that you use a small part of your capital.Because if capital  come in it and if the market cap is growing, it can also give huge profits.But it should also be taken into mind that what percentage of the total supply is circulating in the market.Memecoin are always in high supply.
So you are lazy? But what benefit are you going to get anyway if you help him however a true member of the forum is willing to help without asking anything in return. Since you already done an effort of finding a good coin to recommend, maybe you can also invest on it. That should be the ones that pay you if it truly pumps up to 100x or more. High reward do comes with high risk. It makes sense because if everything is easy, everyone is going to do it and everyone is going to be rich.

I think that destroys the balance of the life here in the earth. Meme coins are high in supply but some meme coins already show what they got, that they can also pump but if I were to invest, I will still go for those serious coins with a better use case.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How honest and transparent are casinos? on: April 06, 2023, 04:15:25 PM
They cannot publicly display the list of who is getting how much bonus or drops, as this will lead to the violation of the user’s privacy policy. Moreover why are you caring for other people? If you are getting your rewards as promised, then definitely others might be getting the same also. Regarding the honesty, then your only concern should be how fair the games are that you are playing. You can easily verify the seeds of the game and can easily conclude that whether the casino is honest and transparent or not. Hope this clears some of your doubts OP.
What violation of the user's privacy? The real identity of the users are not displayed, but simply their casino username.  Roll Eyes That way, people can see if the correct amount of people are claiming these bonuses and that it is all "legit".

So, caring for other users are wrong? I am also doing this for selfish reasons, because I also miss out on a lot of these drops that are gone in a few seconds. The question are... are they gone so fast, because a much smaller amount of drops are done... than were advertised or promoted?
If they display those usernames, there will still be doubts and what if most of those accounts are only owned by the same gambler? It is possible if the site don't have a KYC. We must not put all the blame to the casino owners on why the bonus is decreasing but some unfair gamblers are also responsible for this.

On some casinos, they have added requirements to be able to claim a bonus drop like a user needs to wager 3k USD. They can also add a captcha to make sure that only a real person is claiming those bonuses. If a casino is known to be trusted, I think what they are saying are true but if you can't believe them then better not waste time and money. There are still lots of fishes in the sea.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best time to gamble on: April 06, 2023, 03:34:23 PM
I believe that this is a very personal issue, as knowing that gambling requires a lot of concentration and mental capacity from the player to know when and how much to bet, it is better that each one decides on their own what is the best time.
There are those who prefer to play in the morning, when they are more alert.
On the other hand, there are those players who prefer the night as they no longer have any worries for the day and can dedicate themselves exclusively to the game.

I also understand that depending on the game chosen, some factors such as the profile of online players can make a difference.
The same goes for bonuses that are only released at predetermined times.

So I don't think there is an ideal answer to your question.
If it's a skill-based game, you need to concentrate and gamble only in your free time but if it's a luck-based game. You can gamble at anytime even at your work. You only need to run the auto-bet feature to continue playing at the background. We can also use gambling bots so there is no need to open the browser anymore and there are less interruptions that can occur. When it comes to the amount of bet, there is no change on here but we must still gamble what we can afford to lose.

In terms of PVP gambling, as long as the site is big enough, it will always have players but if you are playing with your close friends, you may need to wait for their free time. Lastly about the bonuses,  usually they have longer expirations to ensure that everyone can claim successfully.
535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Surprise back!!!! on: April 06, 2023, 06:31:36 AM
Uncle Elon done it again, the hype is back for Dogecoin it is. It's possible that the real price of Dogecoin will be back and this is just the start as ELon Musk integrating Dogecoin inside the Twitter platform. Elon Musk has still a magic and have more tricks up to his sleeve. It is finally happening the merge of Twitter and Dogecoin adoption.
Many have thought that the hype for Doge is over but Doge or Elon prove them wrong because recently the world was once again shocked about the move made by Elon to Twitter and that is he changed the logo from bird to this cute dog. The price that you currently see is real but what you mean to comeback might be its old higher value or ATH.

If Elon escalate the idea further and maybe add Doge coin as a payment method in Twitter then we have more chance to see Doge coin at 1 dollar. Id rather call this as a treat to the Doge coin supporters and not a trick. I hope it wasn't also an effect of the April fools because the hype could die once again.

I think West Ham vs Newcastle will be an even more interesting game... Newcastle will probably win this game, but for West Ham this is an important game that they cannot lose points because the club now has the same number of points as teams from the relegation zone... The last two head-to-head meetings have been drawn... I wonder what the Hammers can do today...
Right now we are in 66 minute of the game and Newcastle United is leading by 3 - 1 and heading for the fourth win in a row which will allow them for having third spot in league table Wilson double is enough for them to have complete control of this game and West Ham is still in dangerous zone with 27 points from 28 games and sharing spot with three other teams which are also fighting hard for surviving in this season which is looking not easy because quality is not good enough and performance are also not as required, but West Ham is still having better chance for survive even things are looking not easy, and we can expect some surprises as well until end of this season West Ham needs to improve their quality if they want to stay for another season here in Premier League.
537  Economy / Economics / Re: Money as a store of value... on: April 05, 2023, 07:46:09 PM
Money can be used as a store of value because it is durable and acceptable for a very long period of time. I hardly see where a fiat stopped to exist because of change of government or something of that nature.
What we will complain about is depreciation in the value or purchasing power of the fiat which is one of the cons of fiat.
On the other hand, cryptocurrency has its own cons which is volatility.
Maybe we could say that the perfect means to store value is gold.
If it's a coin, it is durable but if it's paper money, not it isn't but you can store it in a safe/vault or keep it in the banks. You should only be ready about the risk for doing it because there are so many complaints about the banks lately. In most definitions, money is considered as a store of value but some definition states that a store of value must be an asset or something which can retain its value.

I think money isn't like that but it can lose it's value in the long run because of the inflations. We are in the era where cryptos are now popular and use by the many. It might be possible that one day, a fiat will be replaced by them. I better watch out before your money becomes obsolete.
538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Existing Crypto Casinos Were Able to Churn Fiat Casinos User? on: April 05, 2023, 06:53:01 PM
What is clear is that cryptocurrency casinos are taking market share away from fiat casinos, as if the former did not exist, business would shift to the latter. However, I think that what the OP is suggesting is unlikely if we are talking about a big transfer, as there are people who only bet in fiat casinos, have never used cryptocurrencies and have a great distrust of them, and these people are not going to switch to crypto casinos, especially not overnight.
Cryptos are still like a fiat, both are still currencies and then both crypto and fiat casinos are still the same casinos so I don't think one is taking away the market share of the other. Crypto casinos are in fact helping the fiat casinos to grow more.

There are first time gamblers who play in crypto and they are curious about how fiat and physical casinos work so they will also try it. The number of fiat online casinos have grown by huge percent, I think that's also because of the crypto casinos. Now many crypto casinos are accepting fiat deposits and withdrawals, the same goes in fiat casinos. I love these new innovations as it makes the people life easier.
539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? on: April 05, 2023, 06:05:10 PM
The key on here is that you shouldnt really be that making yourself chasing up wins in the first place because if you do stick out into this kind of idea, then you would definitely be keeping on chasing it up until you do
able to hit it but we do know that in gambling, odds and chances is always against us on where there's no way that we could be able to win up for long term unless in some various circumstances on which luck
do really sits up on your side then thats the time you would really be winning but only a few would be able to experience it out.This is why its important that you should mind that gambling
is for fun and entertainment nothingless.
Let's be honest. It's hard to ignore the wins and winning a profit is the main reason on why we play gambling. Now that we are aware of it, the only thing that we can do is to set a limitation on our playtime or on the capital that we are using. Maybe there are truly gamblers who only gambles for fun but I bet the percentage of them are only a few.

I still like to congratulate them because having such kind of mindset is now getting rarer these days. Gambling is a business so yeah, the casino always make sure to have the advantage but we can adjust the odds in a much realistic level in order to have more chances of winning. There is also skill based games. If we are skillful enough, we will have a higher chance to win on them.

I assume most people expected Bayern victory. That was unexpected to see Bayern losing this game and as you said few days from defeating Dortmund which is better than Freiburg.
It is hard to see Bayern losing but this is happening frequently lately Lips sealed
Congrats to Freiburg, they kicked Bayern along with Union that was kicked by Frankfurt. There is Dortmund left which could be a real threat to them for their race to the title. If Leipzig could kick Dortmund, that would be epic!
Peoples were surely expecting Bayern Munich with fans were also excited as Bayern Munich was going for the treble as well, but now they are out of the DFB Pokal with having very tough time ahead because after few days they are going to face Manchester City in another challenging match for the place into last four of Champions League spot and after three days we will have another exciting match between Freiburg vs Bayern Munich which is going to play at Europa-Park Stadion Freiburg for the Bundesliga round 27 with Bayern Munich is currently having 2 points lead from second spotted Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg is also looking for the extending their lead for the top four spot from RB Leipzig which is having bad performance in last few matches things looking exciting because now we are heading for the end of this season and nothing is clear who is going to win and how teams will be having end of this season.
