5461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: THE MOST PAINFUL DAY IN MY BETTING CAREER on: September 21, 2020, 12:02:45 PM
That Pain could have turned into happy tears if ever you won that 260k. Btw, are we talking about US dollars? Even a 5K lose to me would already weaken my legs. I'd like to share my most painful day too relating to gambling. I was playing KENO on Stake gambling platform and I was on automatic bets. I left for about half an hour and when I returned I have lost my $360 USD. $360 is already a huge sum in my country and it pains until now though this happened 2 years ago. I think it left a hole in my heart. (teary eyes)

Hope you get to win bigger than 260k someday laycon.. Let us know in this thread if ever it will happen.

That's worse than losing that amount of money in the Altcoin scam investment. Just like what happened to me last year, when I was scammed by the person I trusted with my altcoin that has the same amount of money that you had. We both lose it in the sense of losing it to nothing. Until now I still have that memories there are lot of what ifs in my mind but we need to consider to forget about it and move on. to make ourselves free from our past mistakes.
5462  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATMs Surge As There Are Now Over 10,000 Bitcoin ATMs Worldwide on: September 21, 2020, 11:41:45 AM
The year 2020 has witnessed a surge in the number of ATMs supporting digital coins.

The total number of Bitcoin ATMs has now passed 10,000 worldwide. 


READ THE COMPLETE ARTICLE HERE: https://worldpublicityblog.com/index.php/2020/09/21/bitcoin-atms-surge-as-there-are-now-over-10000-bitcoin-atms-worldwide/

One indication that we are heading to a bright future with bitcoins. Since the installing of this bitcoin ATMs are working and increasing every year. Not only this, there are more stores around the world that accepts bitcoin nowadays compared to last year. I hope someday we will have that ATM here installed in our city so that I can have my own reviews about it just like the other who already tried it for the first time.

What do you think about Chimaev KO? Right cross and fight was over. Only 17 seconds in round 1.
Gerald Meerschaert is not a newbie according to his record, but got KOed so easily.

Well, that just how it goes for that man. no matter how strong you are when you get that power punch landed on your chin, only a few fighters can survive which is not the case for him this time. I think it was one of the fastest knowckout in the UFC history and Damn! man his knockout will be listed in the top UFC K.O videos on Youtube. just check out this video:

I felt very sad seeing this thread as we are obviously discussing someone's failure. @cabalism13, no offense, don't get me wrong for my words but there were many businesses I know of, which were popular in early days but went missing due to funding issues.
well, my perception is different towards the user, Am really amazed for his guts for joining a competitor's campaign despite of having a failed Project, or maybe he was long doing this after that,... it takes a lot of guts IMO, and setting aside the pride that you have to start once again. But i think he doesn't plan to.

That's how it goes with the life of the others, some times the one at the top will experience what it means to be in the bottom. Well, what happened here is the user got nothing to do with his account anymore, why not join any existing campaign that has something to do with his hobby or everyday work. in that case, he can share his experience and earn some decent amount at the same time.

That escrowed bounty rewards should be mandatory if we really want to have a fair campaign where everyone will benefit. When the rewards are escrowed, the only thing you need to hope for is the price of the token when it listed in the crypto market. Because even though we secured the rewards we won't really know if the project will reach the market after the sales. Because there are some scenarios where those tokens won't even have a price after so many years have been passed after it sent to our wallet.

After this bounty manager had successfully managed some good project, it is normal to promote such fake project because at the beginning of the negotiations, you can't really tell if they telling the truth or not because they when they talked, you really think that they are serious with their projects until something like this will happen. Good luck for the participants and tell the manager to consider escrowing the rewards next time to avoid loss such as this one.
5466  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big companies have started investing in bitcoin as a safe asset on: September 18, 2020, 02:49:48 AM
Bitcoin is amazing - No doubt

But when it comes to a safe asset part , there is literally a lot of problems that one has to take into account.

- Volatility is here to stay
- The government regulations will only tighten with time
- If the government decides to ban bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies then the whole company might be in a bit of a problematic situation
etc..

Invest in Bitcoins, no doubt but to make an investment of millions and that too regarding the company I do think that's a bit of an overstatement.

But even the banks are in a tight spot therefore I do believe that there is no safe investment right now. ~

Yeah the problem with that lots of money to invest in bitcoin is the volatility because when the price of the bitcoin fell in the market, that kind of investment will also fail bigtime. no matter how you define it, it's always been the norm of the crypto market. the only difference is when those companies invest at the right time when the price is low. then the possibilities of gain is high since bitcoin never failed us when its price fell it always rise and give a major comeback base on its past history throughout these years.

Don't fall for those fancy cloud mining sites and their so-called fair offer for the investors. No matter what they do, they cannot show you their mining facilities. whatever they've posted on their websites, it's all hoax and fraud. I'm telling this to you because I was once fell victim to their sweet and sugar-coated words. You will see some good reviews from the people who invest in their sites in their early launch but after a few months or days, things will get worse because no more payment is being sent anymore. problem after problem and finally they will shut down their site for escaping purpose.

Salamat na rin sa paalala, mostly yung mga malalaking international exchanges ang mga merong phishing links na kung saan marami na rin ang mga nabibiktima nito. Hindi ko akalain na pati Coins na madalas nating ginagamit ay pinagtatangkahan na palang gawan ng fake address. kaya pala nung isang araw na nag login ako sa Coins ay may paalala na sila tungkol sa mga ganitong uri ng panloloko. sa mga newbies mas maganda na magbasa tayo ng mga basic info tungkol dito: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5184338.0

5470  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: OMG !!! Peter Schiff was right, again............. on: September 17, 2020, 04:05:07 AM
Oh! come on guys, this is just some mere speculation. this time he got it right and he is not the only one who got this right, everyone was expecting this thing to happen in 2020 because this is where the Bitcoin Halving happened. everyone was expecting that BTC will record a new ATH in the market because of this event and as we've seen so far, the BTC market is not done yet. Although these past few days are not going well, we still have some months to wait. this last quarter of the year might become like the last quarter of 2017 where we experienced a Bull run in late December that year. there's no need to praise that guy for what he had predicted since everything he said was most likely to happen this year.
5471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My experience is gambling on: September 17, 2020, 03:43:48 AM
Mostly those people who play gambling for the sake of gaining money fall out of the trap of desperation that he wanted to win consecutively after experiencing the first one which turns that you will be seeking more everytime you experience win and desperately would spend a lot of money just to try getting what you have loss but turns out to experience consecutive losses and have not been able to recover anything at all but just debt snd regrets for being impulsive on playing for the sake of money. Usually people with such kind of attitude towards playing gambling experience greater losses added up by stress and pressure for wanting to win to obtain a big amount of money.

If at the first place you intended to play for enjoyment and manage you budget for the amount of money you are going to spend on playing gambling, maybe you can have a better self-control as well as be happy and contented if you are winning and treat such thing as a bonus you have got from enjoying playing gambling.

When they win the first time, they want to play even more no matter what the out comes are. we know how odd the rating on winning in gambling right? that's why when we win, we receive double the amount depends on the odd but most likely the chance of losing are high. I agree with you that losing will leave such bad effect in our mental health where some people cannot recover so easily because of the money they have lose. sometimes they will look for another way to play more when they runout of cash and the result are not praiseworthy cause some of them went way too far from stealing other people's properties.
5472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 16, 2020, 12:24:05 PM

Or Denver at 6? That would be a bigger surprise. Isn't it?

would be quite a surprise, but i do not expect it
Lakers a bit better than Clippers, and certainly have more experience to calmly bring the game to the end, Clippers found out that securing a win after +15 is not that easy as it look like when you speak about it

We will see after the result of game 1, since lakers has been letting their opponent beating them on the first games in this playoff, this one versus Denver might be different because they cannot give the same strategy or they might get swept by this team. Now that they already proved that they can make a comeback from 3-1 deficit. Most likely each game in this series will be close at overtime since both team is not playing around this time. If there will be a blowout in game one, the loser will faced the pressure in the next game.

They are affecting the reputation but through these years, everything come unto pieces where everyone has already enlighten that those scammers are the one who is using bitcoin all the time and they are taking advantage to those newbie investors to stole their money via making some fake investment company which will turn into scam after a few months or years. Right now, those kinds of accusations are not working anymore as you can see, one after another most of the big countries in the world are regulating BTC.
5474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Whyte vs Povetkin II on Nov 21 on: September 16, 2020, 05:10:19 AM
Damn! I watched how Whyte got knocked out by Povetkin and it was really amazing comeback for Povetkin. Men, that Damn uppercut really got him. but unfortunately, they fought in a few audience places where you don't really feel the common atmosphere where the fans will shout after the knockout. I think it's the best for them to fight again when everything will back to normal because even though the fight was close if it's not for that surprise uppercut, the result of this second match could also be the same.

Let them do what they want and it doesn't really matter whether the country allows it or not, Bitcoin price will keep rising without their contribution. If they banned it again, they will make some history where a country has lifted its banned on bitcoin and banned it again for some particular reasons. Now that the price is flourishing in the market even though we have a pandemic, India's banning bitcoin will not really affect the market in a big way. maybe the price will fall but it will continue to rise after that.
5476  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Rebounds as Bitcoin Holds Steady on: September 15, 2020, 02:31:48 PM
This is the longest hold of the Ethereum on its price since last 2018 where it fell right after it reaches a higher mark price at that time. Now that it holds almost 100% than its last price, the chances of getting that price again are higher than last year. what I mean is, it could reach up to $800 again if they can just manage to fix the transaction fees issue which is the main reason for the annoyance of most of the Ethereum network users. the transaction fees itself will make the trader lose his hair because as we are talking right now, it's making a new record for the highest transaction fees of ETH even at the minimum rate.

Damn! this rates are not funny, my friend:

Guys, we got the awaited games tomorrow

Game 7 Denver Nuggets vs La Clippers

Game 1 Celtics vs Heats

Who's excited yet can't decide to bet?



Of course everyone here wants to watch those games but what I really want is the final game between Denver Nuggets vs La Clippers. Guys if Clippers will advance to the conference final, I'm sure Lakers will gonna have a hard time and there is high possibility that the match will go up to game 7. However, if the Denver Nuggets will advance to the next match by beating Clippers tomorrow, it won't be a problem as well since I was hoping to see the match between the two.

Looks like crypto users became the main target of scammers and with all these tools sold on the dark web it's not that hard to set up a phishing website.
You don't have to be a hacker or have any technical knowledge.
Lobsterpot Method, I think this is the most used method by phishers when targeting crypto users. Almost every known exchange or web wallet have hundreds of fake clones.
I don't think key-loggers fall under the phishing category though.

Some of them are free and usually that clickbait on some social media is using some of these tools to hack the account of noob users. Most of the users fell into this trap before but most of these tools are now blocked in Facebook. But as the OP stated, more kinds of phishing will be created and we must all aware about how this kind of thing works. no matter how complex our passwords are, if we fell to their trap they are one step ahead to stole our accounts. That's why using some authenticators will also help us because even though they got our passwords, they need to have a second method to access to our accounts which is next to impossible.
5479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do think about skill games? on: September 15, 2020, 12:55:26 PM
What is this? they will give you some prizes if you managed to pass some levels? or you need to complete and finish the games? before acquiring some rewards?
These kinds of games should be fun but this is inside the casino so it means you need to pay to play. In that case, you won't gonna acquire some advanced skills unless you already run out of money to play. isn't it? therefor it's not really worth our time to play since the skills we got will likely not enough to beat the game or after we finally know some tricks, they will change the mechanics and install another games.

5480  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Another DeFi exit scam on: September 15, 2020, 12:29:00 PM
This is not a new scenario for us since we have experienced such trends that will be followed by exit scams since they were flourishing in the market these few months. Anyway, we need to be vigilant about this new trend because like the past trend namely ICO and IEO, the scammers will make some use of this one and they will make it as legit as the real one. We cannot change the fact that we are going to have this Defi trend for a while but we need to consider doing our own research before stepping unto investing in any of them.
