Just thinking that if you will redeem your RP to get RP bonus, do you think you can keep up with the hourly timer?
Because for me, I usually use few times of the redeemed bonus so it is not worth for me redeeming the RP.

Heavily discussed and yeah, the only thing worth redeeming is the RP bonus. And you do need to roll at least 13 times to make it worthwhile, which in most cases means you should only do it when you're totally online and totally free! Even with the timer and reminder ping, I find it very difficult to make the most out of it when I'm also working!

PoS actually stands for "Piece of Shit" and not "Proof of Stake". Elon Musk, being a PoS himself wants us cryptocurrency users to dump Bitcoin for some shitcoin which he can control. He has realized that it is impossible to manipulate Bitcoin, and that is why he has come up with crazy excuses such as Bitcoin uses too much electricity. Right now, there is not a single altcoin out there, which has the same security benefit as that of Bitcoin. Elon just wants a centralized coin, which he can dictate.

Hehe, first time I head of Piece of Shit and I wouldn't outright call PoS like that you know, I mean ETH 2.0 is moving right into that exact direction, with PoS itself being quite a mature piece of technology right now when it comes to blockchain.

Of course I made myself many mistakes with old POS type coins but the implementation for ETH I hear is very different.
5303  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin should be afraid of tron on: May 18, 2021, 10:21:29 AM
You know what, it's not the technology behind the blockchain or even the transaction speed that make a coin popular and valued high, so many newly created coins out there that surpass tron capability but many of them also not as popular as tron, same thing
with bitcoin it's being called digital gold for a reason despite it's somewhat lacking in feature or even in speed.
also there's reason why many people still prefer deploying their smart contract or tokens in ethereum blockchain rather than tron simlpy becuase people think of ethereum as better than tron.

It never has been and this is what projects never understood when they came out and talked about high scalability and high thoroughput etc, people actually don't care. TRON better than BTC or ETH in terms of tps right? So what, people don't care.

People do want instant and cheap and easy to use, and many others trading.

Don't look at the daily prices. That will only push you to dump all of your bitcoins because your having an emotional panic and that's really normal if you've experience this for the first time and you're not used to it. In the beginning, what did you planned? are you a short term buyer and you've planned to sell it whenever you get 5%-10% of profit? don't panic or else you're just going with the market with your FOMO and panic which will lead you to more losses and will eventually make you quit.

Don't even look at weekly or monthly prices. They're all a waste of time in the long term, or even in the medium term. If you're into Bitcoin then you must know this lasts in repeated cycles, with very little time spent in the top and most of it spent in the bottom, and in between all kinds of high extreme volatility.

Just chill and live life normally.

The feeling of entitlement is a very bad habit that should be fought to get rid of at all cost. Nobody owes you anything irrespective of what you played in that person success story. Let assume you taught them how to trade and they're now doing perfectly well meanwhile you're having some rough time, that doesn't mean they are obligated to help you at every single problem you encounter.

I know people will get mad at me for saying this but it's a generational problem I think because I saw it myself, my generation was more entitled than my parents' and the ones after me even more so. We think we are entitled because everything is our right. People here online even on casinos think it's their right to ask for free things. Site down? Give me freebets. This is the mentality sadly.
5306  Economy / Speculation / Re: Everyone acting like there hasn’t been dips like this during a bitcoin bull mark on: May 18, 2021, 06:44:51 AM
Those who already know or have been in past cycles aren't worried. I know I'm not, I've been through worse, why would I panic?

Besides, the rise before this crash was also quite sudden and Elon-based. Now we can give back those gains and grow more logically.

If price doesn't reach the desired peaks, it's okay. It means it wasn't ready yet.
5307  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders Don't easily lend out money. on: May 17, 2021, 03:19:55 PM
Not just trader but almost everyone here are still hesitant to lend money to anyone or even to your friend because you know how to value your money and in trading, we almost lose everything so if you lend that money to anyone you might lose it as well. I don't want to lend money to anyone because of my bad experience before with my friends, beside that money is the result of my hard work so its hard to accept if someone borrow money from you and didn't pay at all.

The bane of gambling sites. People lending/loaning money out. And a general big lesson in life anyway. If someone wants to borrow money because they need to eat, or pay rent, different. But borrowing money to make more money MAYBE, consider the loan lost, if you want to act like a bank:)

Loans have ruined marriages and friendships, so don't let that be you!
5308  Economy / Speculation / Re: Free falling Bitcoin on: May 17, 2021, 02:47:09 PM
If you're panicking because of price drops, you either don't know what you're investing in, or you're overly allocated.

That, or you really just don't know investing in general. Because price drops aren't out of the ordinary for literally any asset.

I never did understand how people who call themselves full time traders or pro traders panic. If you're pro, you're stop lossed. You know where exactly you enter the market, and where exactly you exit, and you have different stops for both sides of the sell and buy, and allow the market to settle those things for you.

Speculation is not investment also, not necessary anyway.
5309  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC down , does the altcoin will keep strong on: May 17, 2021, 02:02:57 PM
What do you expect bro those garbage coins will normally drain to the pipe where they belong I mean shitcoin mostly have no place, they are use to pump and dump The bull market have circles Understand that and you might loose just a little not much

Well, to be fair, without shitcoins and altcoins we won't have Tittok stars coming and saturating the market. We need these rallies followed by the crashes to make the industry more mature. To show people what works today must also work tomorrow and in the future, otherwise it's pointless as anyone can make shells and sell them for money, but what keeps the network strong? We can't know this without shitcoins and the lessons they teach.

1. There are other cryptocurrencies with less that 1% of Bitcoin's energy cost.
2. He is working with DOGE devs for "Potentially promising" results.

For far worse tradeoffs though. If you can have less than 1% of the energy cost, you will be happy with 1% of the security benefits but the fact is most coins won't even have 0.1% of Bitcoin's security benefits.

Remember, it costs resources to secure something. PoW wasn't a random idea thought up. DOGE was.

You are right about that, but than you also need to hold everything. I still hold some crypto, but in this bull market, I also sold already quite a lot just to make some profit.
I sold 80% of my DOGE when it hit 0.01$, as I thought that would be the maximum. Never imagined that it would get such a hype thanks to Elon Musk.

If you're in crypto and you're serious about being in it for the longterm, then yeah of course you need to learn to hodl;)

Selling in the bullrun's nice, but you can never really know where the top is, as you found out selling DOGE at 1 cent. I actually don't believe were even in the middle of the rally yet and still plenty of months left to really show new highs.
5312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: May 17, 2021, 10:01:32 AM
What most individuals fail to realize is that the effectivity of vaccines differentiate among individuals across their age group. Being vaccinated perse does not make a person absolutely immune from acquiring the virus.

The only instance where I can see people not using their masks if their COVID-19 cases in their country is close to zero to none. If, however, there are still people who are not vaccinated, thus have active cases in the area, then people should still exercise caution and wear masks.

Yep, I think this part was really not well communicated that even I didn't know until I'd read a lot about it.

It improves your chances and probability of NOT getting it, or if you get it, it increases your chances not just to survive it but also show less severity for the symptoms.

But it doesn't make you immune nor does it help prevent you from spreading it. Masks is all about this!
5313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk on Twitter: "Chihuahua." The Sheep: "We Love You Elon, BTC is Dying!" on: May 17, 2021, 08:46:15 AM
I kind of get why you guys are angry and why a lot of people are, but where was all this anger when Elon was Tweeting about Bitcoin since last year? He's done and gone and made a lot of fuss and people are feeding into it. If you don't like it, leave it be, don't feed the monster that is Elon. Just come back after a few months, he'll be ineffective;)
5314  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - Casino & Sports - UFC Official Betting Partner - Play Smarter 🥊 on: May 17, 2021, 08:10:28 AM
Yeah, Its a lot harder to rank up to higher levels by placing bets on the sportsbook only. I'm not saying it's not possible but that it takes a lot longer to reach those levels. It's even harder to compete in those wager competitions since you've to wait 90 minutes for your sports bets to settle and then a while longer to get another event that you can bet on (sometimes a week plus) while these casino games are always open. But there's no point moving over. Just keep at it. You'll get there just that it'll take longer.

Unless you're like one of those guys who only places live. I've done it before and betting on a 90 minute match, several outcomes, like scores every 10 mins, next to score, next corner, next card, all those can be really exciting and accumulate a large wager if your initial bet's big like most sports betters anyway:) Of course, doesn't change that it takes longer in general.
5315  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dogecoin become more stable than Bitcoin on: May 17, 2021, 06:41:43 AM
Come back after one year and see how silly you feel after saying that. Or in fact even come back after 6 months if not earlier. Stablecoins are a class of their own, and are meant to be stable. Even fiat currencies see daily volatility, but crypto is known to be at the extremes.

You tell me how much DOGE was 6 months ago:)

Congratulations to Madrid, because whatever happens, they will have two teams from the city in first and second place.

Suarez, I hope you win it man, your goals and efforts are all up there in the halls of legends, and I still wish you'd stayed on with us, we'd have definitely won the league with your presence!
5317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what do you guys use bitcoin for? on: May 16, 2021, 04:16:02 PM
I use it to anything that I could Payment,Sending money, Investment and trading.
As long as I could use it and avoid going out to stay safe then I would.

Sounds like all the things alt people say. Payment, sending money, investment etc. But most people actually only use it for trading (or more specifically, speculation).

Sending BTC to each other with Luno for example you didn't even need to ever operate a real Bitcoin wallet, much less sign transactions and choose inputs and fees!
5318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC down , does the altcoin will keep strong on: May 16, 2021, 02:36:20 PM
To be fair, any alts will dump when BTC take a hit. It doesn't matter if your project is good or not, when BTC is sinking, the rest of them follows. That's how market works in general, since most of them are paired with BTC. That being said, just like how ICO hype dies, I believe those shitcoins won't stay too long in the game. Maybe next year they'll be gone forever, but a new stupidity will rise in the next bull run.

Hopefully strong project regardless of the market (defi, NFT, etc) will be able to show its full value and won't be killed due to this crazy hype.

Not always, and especially less so now. Right before Elon's Tweets, particularly on his latest rounds, Bitcoin was already struggling for a while to break the 57k barrier, but ETH was steadily climbing and climbing to the point it was gaining 10% when BTC was losing 2/5%. And memecoins and defi coins were also not really following BTC around the same time.

Just using freebitco.in for the faucet is not really worth it (applies for all faucet sites). I do claim the the faucet from time to time but I use freebitco.in more for the betting, the yearly interest you can get, the WOF and the FUN tokens.

I don't know about that. It never seems worth it at the current time, but I think a lot of veterans will remember when faucets were giving 5 digit satoshi figures, or when DOGE was giving even 10 doge per claim.

And back in those days RPs could give you like 5x satoshi per RP. If you'd changed all those then, including the freeroll bonuses (at the time), they'd all be worth a lot more today.

4 satoshi today means nothing but imagine if BTC goes to 1 million;)
5320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: May 16, 2021, 08:36:04 AM
Funny thing is, Sevilla is not that far behind, they are only 2 points behind which means that if Barcelona loses there is a chance that Sevilla could get the third spot and Barcelona could be dropped to fourth spot and that seems like the most possible situation at this level. I am sure it is not really anything that people would expect a team like Barcelona to drop that further down but it is a possibility.

I know, people have been talking about them coming up slowly and you're right, mathematically they could even sneak up but for all three teams above them to lose? I think that's a reality that only the most diehard fan will consider. Still, if it happens, it will be the story of the season and will be probably the most famous season of the century;)
