5401  Economy / Gambling / Re: WOLF.BET - Provably fair dice game $1,000 Daily Race7-day streak bonus on: October 04, 2019, 03:01:07 PM
However, wolf.bet is brand new already, they don't need to make a new website, they can rebrand themselves as a "not just a dice site" with their current name, I don't get why people think that having a dice in your name must mean you are purely a dice website, there are a ton of websites with weird names that go for only slots for example and that doesn't mean they can't have any other game, they just don't want to.

Wolf.bet has a good name with no dice in it and no nothing so they could just put any game and not worry about the situation of people thinking they are just a dice game website neither. So, it works out great for them

Well, it is not quite our business anyway

So we can only speculate here. As I see it, there is a certain window of, say, a couple of years when adding new games wouldn't hurt the image of the site. But after this window is closed, it might be better to keep things as they are. It doesn't actually have anything to do with the name itself (i.e. whether it has the word dice in it) but rather with the public perception of the casino that will be firmly established by that time
I disagree, I think it is exactly the opposite, this is why running a casino is such a hard task. If they improve their website for years then we should be expecting them to keep improving their websites, if they want to change something they should do it right now so we don't get too comfortable with it.

That is why I think having a website for few years where you add a new game every 6-8 months means you need to keep doing that, because people would eventually grow tired of your website and will want to visit other websites if you do not provide something new to them, however if you keep making new stuff all the time people would wait for the new stuff as well. There are games (pc games) literally out for almost 20 years that still gets attention because they provide new stuff all the time.

The major difference between bitcoin and fiat currency is decentralization. Fiat money is issued and controlled by the government while the bitcoin is fully decentralized, free from government control.
And that same reason why governments are holding the fact that crypto is helpful but they hinder the adoption because not like fiat the have full control while in crypto they dont(but there are some centralized as well that they can hold in necks)
The basic reason why government are still so skeptical about cryptocurrency and may never go against it fully is because it has lifted lots of burden away from them, people now see cryptocurrency as something that could create job for them which indeed created job for a lot of people and you cannot imagine the amount of burden that this has taken away from the government and through this also, government is still able to generate more revenue through tax on trades via cryptocurrency.

Government would rather just prefer to accept it that way than to accept it as currency which is why they don't want to give in to regulation yet because once they do, it will send a strong signal that it has been accepted by them as currency of the world which they don’t want any system that they cannot control.

To anyone who bought into the hype around $10k I wouldn't panic though. Remember those who bought into the bearish conditions of 2018 at $6k?
They are doing just fine now and if anything are waiting to double down on their positions Smiley
I would not even see their decision to have bought around $10k as mistake, no one really could see this dip coming and this dip is something that many of us are already used to, we know that there are times where bitcoin would want to make some corrective moves and these are part of the risk that we talk of in cryptocurrency investment which we must have built our minds towards, which should help us not to panic once our mindset is built towards this.

The price will surely bounce back to the $10k and the only regret I think that we can have is that we could not put money at the $10k to make some little cash when the price goes back to $10k, but that is for trader, for long term investors, there should be no regrets as the price will be far higher than even $20k in future.
5404  Economy / Speculation / Re: Down below $9k! Buy the dip now? on: October 03, 2019, 04:13:45 PM
There is good resistance at the price $8000, once it gets broken surely we'll experience the price touch $7000. As the price has moved above $8200 over the past two days we can expect the growth to happen in a gradual manner than falling back over the falling weeks. If the plan is to invest and do trading, it is the right time. If the plan is for long term holding then just have patience there is more chance fall in the price below $8000.
This current opportunity will really be an opportunity that will be blown away if we really don't take the opportunity to quickly rush and buy It now, anytime we see a dip like this, I think it is a chance that is just being given to accumulate more before the price recovers again.

I really don't think I see the price dipping down to $7k again because from what I can study from the little analysis that I have made, I think that we are already heading for full recovery as we might continue to grow henceforth as against the value declining any further, I think that the last decline for this year is what we have presently seen right now and as from this month, we may be growing gradually now till we end the year at the $15k that majority of us has predicted.

For some reason, everyone is talking about some strategies, but no one can give an example of at least one, with which you can get income on the cryptocurrency market from trading.  I have repeatedly been convinced that any statement, especially for traders, always carries well-known information.  Therefore, I came to the conclusion that trading is very personal for everyone and for newcomers like me I will have to learn for myself.
I am not sure that strategies are what can be learned, I think one have to actually personally develop the strategy that one uses to trade which I think only comes after learning so much about trading already. I have come across so many people also advising people of always having their own strategy and no one really has shared any.

One thing that I just believe is that the moment we have the thorough knowledge about trading which is the first thing that we have to go for first, then developing strong skill and strategy should really not be much of a difficult thing, it should naturally come to one, as one gets deeper in trading, but before strategy can be visible, one must have even done lots of practices in the market for one to really say this is the main strategy that works.
5406  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 Reasons why I am buying Bitcoin!! on: October 03, 2019, 01:42:09 PM
those are the reasons people can see it and its advantages. But how about decentralization and no one manages or develops bitcoin?
Don't you doubt that someday its value will be zero when the economy no longer wants to use bitcoin as the main tool in trading?
I do not think that there is anything that will ever make the community to stop using bitcoin to trade as we are just even in adoption stage, and because of its decentralization, people will always embrace it which bitcoin is even still the best decentralized coin that we have.

The population of people that are yet to get exposed to the use of bitcoin is still very much and as time goes by, the community of bitcoin will continue to enlarge, and with this present community, it is even still very much to sustain bitcoin for so many years to come, so mate, It will be very hard for bitcoin to ever zero, even if 60% of the holders dumps the coin, there will always be new set of people that will embrace the price at any time of the day. Never need to worry on bitcoin prices as already too high like that.
5407  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you need to become a successful trader? on: October 03, 2019, 05:11:17 AM
Its easy to be a trader but its hard to be a succesfull trader itself because there is no perfect trader in this world. However you can reduce the risk if you are prepared and have a huge knowledge about trading specialy in cryptocurrencies. The one this you should do is patience because if you dont have that your just losing your investments.
Being a successful trader is not a hard thing, it is  lack of discipline that makes many traders fail, everything has a rule for success and if we can master the rule first, then we are good to go, what I have seen with people is that they like to jump the gun a lot, they don’t master the rule first and then go into trading, it is just like bitcoin talk, if you don't study the rules first and then keep them at heart, there is absolutely no way that we cannot make mistakes that will make the forum team to ban us, but if we adhere with the policies, we will find ourselves remain in the forum for year.

For one to become successful, one must have the right knowledge like you said, use the right platform, avoid being greedy and take cognizance of other rules of it.
5408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a search term, ranked by countries. Nigeria, South Africa, Austria on: October 03, 2019, 04:21:34 AM
Venezuela might actually be more engaged with cryptocurrency than Nigeria but when it comes to population, you know that Nigeria and Venezuela are not the same and they cannot be compared, there will definitely me more search of cryptocurrency from Nigeria than Venezuela because they have more people, but in term of usage, I think I give it up to Venezuela for their government to have even gotten to the extent of creating their own Petro coin.

I am not still surprised about Nigeria's statistics though, because when it comes to investment, I know that Nigeria's likes to invest a lot and that is why you see the that the most victim of these MMM ponzi scheme then was Nigeria first. so, for people who thinks Africans are not much in crypto, they can now see this for themselves.
5409  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should move to BTC? on: October 02, 2019, 06:08:50 PM
If in your portfolio is predominantly XRP, then you have studied this project and believe in its future. If Bitcoin has risen in price, but your coin is not, then just now is not her time. However, this does not mean that you need to sell all XRP coins and buy more expensive Bitcoin. This is called haphazard trading, which often leads to losses. You should hold your coin and just wait for its time. A successful investor is someone who knows how to wait.
I bet to disagree with you brother, how can you advise someone against selling of ripple to bitcoin when you know that ripple has no future again to me when it comes to investment, they might be quite ok for usage but not for investment or to be held as an asset, so it would just be like a waste of time for anyone to be tying investment down in ripple.

I would rather prefer to buy that expensive coin that I am sure will still give me some profit in future than to but ripple, which I know that bitcoin is still very cheap to purchase right now compared to what the value will be in the future. Aside the value of it, when it comes to investment guarantee and investment that you can be sure of still having for decades, I think that it is only bitcoin that is qualified for it so I see no reason why he should not sell to bitcoin.
5410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The difference between Bitcoin and Facebook's Libra on: October 02, 2019, 05:15:59 PM
Its funny how people can easy make comparison between Bitcoin and a coin that hasn't been listed or made available for people to use.  Libra is just a stablecoin version of Ripple since both kinda have similar ideology.  I think its a bad idea to compare Bitcoin to Facebook's Libra.
The same way that bitcoin was never intended to replace the fiat system of the government is the same way that I think Facebook never created Libra coin to replace bitcoin many of us can even see that many times the team behind the Libra coin has openly declared support for bitcoin which they believe that the Facebook Libra coin will only tend to facilitate the adoption of cryptocurrency, of which the use of bitcoin will be number one priority for many people.

Like you said, the Libra coin is a stable coin and can only function as utility token, while bitcoin encompasses of everything, both utility token, investment token and as a full decentralized coin while the said Libra coin can never ever be created in a decentralized manner that people want.
5411  Economy / Gambling / Re: MintDice – Bitcoin Casino With Online Slots, Bitcoin Crash & Bitcoin Investment on: October 02, 2019, 08:27:02 AM
I am not entirely sure if withdrawal process is like number one request from a casino, it is almost always the same among all casinos and if not the ones that are more expensive of slower usually try to get faster and cheaper without customers saying anything because they want to be in the competition and not lose customers.

I think more games and more currencies and stuff like that are more common. For some reason, some websites make a ton of casino games like 100+ different slots only and then plenty other games so forth, and some websites stay with 1-5 games instead, don't know why there is no place with like 10-20 games and that's it. It is actually a great feeling to be able to choose whatever game you want and not have to switch websites so if I wanted something it would be more games.
5412  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win a Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2!! on: October 02, 2019, 06:29:01 AM
We need to really consider what is considered a "house edge" at freebitcoin.

In any other place when you gamble there is only winning and losing, so on average if you lose 1% then that is fine because that is the house edge and you are done with the casino when you stop betting. Now we all know freebitcoin has a HUGE looking house edge and people think that you will lose that much and all but people are forgetting one eternal truth that you do not only gamble here. That is not what you do when you just bet, when you place a bet, you can win or lose you will still get ; lottery tickets + lambo tickets + reward points + if you came here from an affiliate someone making profits thanks to you.

So, all in all you are always in a contest here, you may not like the 5% but if you gamble big enough you get free stuff from rewards and have a chance to win thousands of dollars from lotteries.

@2double0

You will get your free 6mbtc bet within 48 hours after your other bet is settled (you will receive a notification) and you will have 2 days to wager on any market with 1.5 odds or higher, otherwise it will expire.

You can check the full terms & conditions page here:
https://sportsbet.io/promotions/welcome-offer-mb-30

Also check their FAQ page, especially section 35 - How can I use my free bet and how much do I keep?
https://sportsbet.io/support/faq

Just so you know, your free 6mbtc bet is calculated as follows: 6mbtc x odds - stake

eg. mɃ 10 free bet, odds 1.70. If you win, the ticket win is 17.00 the stake is removed, and you have mɃ 7 winnings
It is not free money to our wallet I suppose? Like lets say I have 50 mbit, met about 40 mbit for tonight's games for 3 of them and if 1 is wrong I normally should have 10 mbit left but you will have 1mbit returned so I will have 11mbit and than just lets say withdraw all of it, that is not the case right?

I will just have 1mbit to go bet some more. Can I add that on another bet as well, like lets say I have 1mbit for tomorrow but I want to bet 20 mbit so can I put my own 19mbit and get your 1 mbit with it and make it 20? Or do I have to bet that 1 mbit as a standalone game? If I bet that all by itself (or add it to my own bet) and just win, will I get to withdraw that? Or how many rollovers do you need for us to be able to withdraw that. I know it is a small number but I wanted to know the details.

hm, its nice, i want low price Smiley))

becouse, i want more BTC with my miners, becouse i have zero cost of electricity. and when price going down - my BTC earning is growing Smiley))

i will HODL my BTCs to 2022 year. i want MINE more and more BTC before healving <3


go go - dump <3
Lol, that 2022, are you sure that is not the dumping year because you know that once we have a year of bull run, we will always get a corresponding year of bear market again, you know when the last bull run ended, and how long it took the bears to rule the market which was almost 2 years.

This time around, many of us expect the bull run to come in 2020, which means we may be having another year of bear market as from 2021 to run all through 2020 and I am sure that you would not want to be in this position again, so we have to be very smart, once we have bull run, it is better than you remove your investment coin and then wait for another bear market to come in again. Well, it is all speculation anyway as nobody knows exactly what year it will be for the bull and for the bears.
5415  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins era is coming? IDL has announced presale of one of its coins LAW. on: October 01, 2019, 02:52:30 PM
I haven’t bought coins for a long time but now it seems that I’m ready to get new coin in my bag. I follow IDL for some time and it’s quite impressive you know: according to the https://idledgers.com/, it’s not just a token with some future coin, it’s a fully prepared project with almost 8k registered wallets on Ubikiri, dozens of masternodes, its own blockchain, really big ecosystem of already working projects. As I know it’s first time entering the public market before they were focused on developing only. Like now they have an operating platform, committed transactions, partners etc. Invest?
Neither have I bought some coins too for a while now because I have been so discouraged about all these ico scams that is taking investors away from the market, but for the very first time in a long time, I rushed to invest in some coins recently when the market went every dip and these coins are the coins that I actually saw as an opportunity to buy now because they are potential coins and have always been potential coins , and some of them are these top altcoins that we have in the market. 

When the price of bitcoin dipped, it was a very big opportunity for us really to buy those altcoins at the top in coinmarketcap at a very cheap price, imagine Ethereum at $160 was indeed a blessing to me again. I don’t know about the project that you have said here, but I think that I will prefer to stick with top altcoins.

Most of those middle men that the use of cryptocurrency tends to eliminate are the ones that are making money off the masses just because of one idea that is actually not necessary, but because of self-imposition by the government, they didn’t have any choice than to deal with them, and same as in the private sector also, but with the introduction of cryptocurrency and wallet, those middlemen that has been imposed on us will be eliminated, and this is why those banks are fighting hard to eliminate cryptocurrency or quickly come up with a centralized cryptocurrency that will be imposed on people with the support of the government just like the great china is already doing by trying to tokenize their own currency so as to impose it on their  citizens.

So it means that if a person have good number of referrals, he can earn good amount of commission without having to gamble himself.  Wagering 20 btc is not tough, and you will get 0.02 BTC. That's a kool amount. You just need to focus on how to attract the new gamblers so that they can signup under your link and you earn free commissions.

Very true, imagine if you get an active referral and a "Whale". You will get a passive income everyday by referral commision. Well it's not only happen on stake. All gambling sites, trading sites and else also have referrals program that you can earn from your refs.

This is not possible thing that big whale will sign under someone name, even tough it is not deducted from their money but still they are not willingly to sign up under someone names. This is what I believe for so long, I do not what is the reason behind it. And just to be clear, Stake pays players commisions with the wagering amount right? Even if they lose or win the number will still no affect on the payout that we can get right? Is this true?
It kinda depends on the system you built for the referrals. Just to give an example, I once had 5 referrals on an exchange that used bots, dudes were "trading" hundreds of times every single day and I made a lot of money. In gambling you will not get that type of gamblers, nobody bets that much that frequently and that long, these were hundreds of trades every single day for months, nobody gambles that much and even if there is a few rare people likelihood that they are already gamblers and already here.

So, in the end when you get people to gamble here with your link, you have to keep finding people because when they gamble they put a big pause in between their gambling after they lose it all.

It is always awesome to see some new faces come into the leaderboard. There isn't really that many rich people all around the world, think about how much one bitcoin worths and check out the leaderboard that way. The problem with bitcoin is when someone says "I wagered 1 bitcoin" you don't instantly thought about 8 thousand dollars, 8 thousand dollars is literally one year salary of millions of people around the world, even higher than that.

I am not joking, check out the number of minimum salary workers around the world and check out how much minimum salary is in that country and you will see that there are hundreds of millions of people who work for a whole year and make less than 8 thousand dollars. There are people who wager 3+ on this leaderboards all the time.
5419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: :-> Bitcoin are helping to reduce global debt. :-> on: September 30, 2019, 03:09:05 PM
If people are good in handling in their loan, they will not have any problem. Yes, bitcoin can help to reduce the debt of the people since you can earn some money without releasing any of them. But why would you loan if you can earn money?
Although it could be risky, one more thing that bitcoin does is to also help so many companies pay their salary without touching their budgeted salary, and it has happened to me before. I have some staff that I do pay monthly, but at the beginning of every year, based on the previous year sale, I usually separate salaries for the whole year to be kept in a separate account.

So, I thought of it this year that since bitcoin has bottomed, rather than keeping the money inside bank and it is not generating income for me, why not just let me Put it in a bitcoin wallet which I did, we all know what has happened to money that was left in wallet from January till now, although I had touched it for some months, but the salary I have paid has been the profit I got from the one I kept in wallet.
5420  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin dominance is actually over 90% on: September 27, 2019, 05:00:09 PM
I think I agree with your report and this is why we have seen that most altcoins are not really thriving at all, and for bitcoin dominance to have reached such high level, does this means the end of altcoins because I really doing understand what is happening with the alts, right in my eyes, bitcoin has consolidated several times which should have been an opportunity for altcoins to start risings, but despite all the consolidation, they still remain same.

Bitcoin is really gaining more popularity day by day and the reason why the popularity became this high now is because altcoins were not functioning properly as they should function, of they were serving as better alternatives, users and investors would not have rely on the use of bitcoin alone for transactions.
