5461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much capital I need to be the House on: March 27, 2019, 08:21:32 AM
Several suggestions have been put forth by the users to make an investment on the house. This way one can invest from very small amount, but to be the house owner of a bitcoin casino at least 200 bitcoins is a must. This gives regular earning for the owner as every game will be allocated with a house edge.
Therefore it's very expensive to own a casino, I mean a legit online casino.
200 BTC is equivalent to more or less $800,000 now at the current exchange rate of BTC = USD.

If OP have this amount, it's also not a guarantee that he will be able to run the casino successfully, there's plenty of factors to consider.
He should hire a consultant or an expert in this field, so this will not be come a failed investment in this side.
5462  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: March 27, 2019, 08:02:52 AM
Depends, maybe 1-2 days maximum, but if i don't have money left, i'm sure i can stay without gambling up to 1 week. If i have some money, i can gambling everyday. I'm kinda addicted to gambling so it's a bit hard to not gambling when i had money in my pocket.
You are on that part of your life that you can't leave gambling. Be careful of yourself when you have money because it can make you be like that person to lose until you have money holding on your hand.

1-2 days of maximum without gambling means it's hard for you to overcome addiction.
Me, I cannot really tell, but as long as I'm infront of my computer, I can gamble because I love it.
Maybe if I'll go out of town and no internet then I would not gamble, but honestly, I still have a control since I'm more matured now and have learned from my past mistakes. I'm done in chasing my luck in gambling as the reality always happens, I still long over time.
5463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which coin do you think is best for gambling? on: March 27, 2019, 07:55:56 AM
I prefer bitcoin in most cases, because I find this to be easier to make the calculations on my spending. If there isn't anymore bitcoin then I'll go for the alternate available. This can be mostly ethereum, on casinos I prefer doge. What I mentioned first is on sports betting.
I will not take that kind of statement if there's no more bitcoin because it's impossible to happen. Anyway, that's just an opinion and both of the altcoins that you mentioned are what others are telling you.

ETH and Doge as an alternative option for crypto that we want to gamble after bitcoin.
At present every gambling site provides many options for currency in gambling, not just bitcoin. everyone has their own reasons, but for me there is no specific reason for using certain coins, I can use bitcoin at one time, and other coins at a later time, depending on what I like, and what coins I have
Everyone will just convert their coin to fiat, so cryptocurrency is just a coin we use in a form of payment where we expect faster transaction.
As long as the site would accept multiple coins, it's wise to choose a coin that is faster to confirm and only requires a low transaction fee, in this matter, altcoins is best suit for this.
5464  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2018-2019 betting on: March 27, 2019, 07:45:54 AM
Oh well, Hornets were at it again. they dominated the game for most of the time, even though it was quite a close one. Spurs took the biggest lead of the night (10 points) somewhere during the 3rd quarter, i think and I was expecting them to take it all up from there but here we are.

Because Kemba did it again tonight, scored 38 points and give his team another win.
The competition is still on for the East and the Hornets still has a chance, they have Won 4 in a row now.


It was an easy win for Lakers, Do you still regret your pick ? Lol  Grin

Indeed, they control the game until the end, Wizards never won a single quarter.
5465  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which bitcoin exchange do you use on: March 26, 2019, 09:03:45 AM
With bitfinx shutting down its service and coinbase being priced very high which other service do you use?

It has been Binance all the way since i joined the cryptocurrency. Many exchanges but different services rendered, Binance has given me more experience than any other exchanges and i stick to their services till date. Coinbase which was called the most easiest and simplest exchange to use turned out to blocked my account for no reason reasonable enough to be considered.
They blocked your account with funds in it? Did you contact their service team for what reason they had blocked you?

Bianance is better as you said but using a CEX will always make our funds in intot be risk so we don't have to keep our funds in it for long time.

I don't think they will close an account without a reason, they are regulated by the law and they will be penalize if they do something illegal.
I don't have a coinbase account so I cannot completely relate, but I have a Binance account and I can say they have a more easy rules to follow.
5466  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Patience is the main key of success on trading platform. on: March 26, 2019, 08:50:34 AM
I believe everyone know about this sentence, "patience is the main key of success of trading platform". But I am realising that in practical. I have patience but not enough I think. Because you can see the trend of RVN, I was hold it and just sold almost in 20% profit. But I didn't wait even volume was increasing, I just missed my own logic. I had enough patience really. But who know RVN will touch 1400+ satoshi but I sold it 450 satoshi only. That's why I am realising patience is the main key if success on trading platform.

Patience will give better rate if you are holding a good coin.

RVN is good and doing well so far, but you also need to ensure that you have a target so you can sell it at the right timing, being greedy is bad, you might regret it if you fail.

Every project has a chance to grow in any market situation if the people will see it's worth to invest, but if you are looking for bigger price for better profit, you should hold longer and it does mean you are only seeing one price movement, there are times that it will dump and might affect your spirit of holding, so it's up to you to decide, whether you take profit early, or wait and hold until you get a bigger profit.
5467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Dice - why do you play in a particular casino? on: March 26, 2019, 08:33:07 AM
Hello,

What are the factors that make you play in a particular casino? What are the most important things for you?


Years of presence in the industry and generally a very active community. I can skip good graphic/UI and promos if the site has a solid reputation.

Whales in gambling are looking for a site that has a better reputation, and they can play without promotion.
But nowadays since the competition is tighter, we can also see a reputable site which are also aggressive in marketing at the same time and this is for newbie in gambling as they will be attractive, and will give a little bonus for their loyal gamblers.
5468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: March 26, 2019, 08:11:34 AM
I did not watch the video, I just read the comments from here .
This is a serious one and Nurkic might not be able to play the off season, and this will hurt the Blazers. With him, they are doing better this season but I'm seeing a first round exit for this team without Nurkic.
I watched the video and I saw the leg of Nurkic, it became like a jelly, I'm sorry for the adjective but that is the closes I can get from my mind. This injury will not just hurt Blazers or Nurkic but also to his family. We hope for a speedy recover from Nurkic. He was injured in 2OT. That was like a deciding time for 2 teams and he was injured. It's like getting to the finish line in a car racing but you stumble and fall. Sad.
This is a physical sport, injuries are already given but unfortunately it happened to him.
What we can do now is to hope for his speedy recovery, it will hurt his team, his family, and possibly those gamblers who are betting for this team in NBA futures.
5469  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Binance: $BNB The Future of Exchanges. on: March 25, 2019, 06:20:11 AM
I'm just hoping this coin will not be centralized because with the way it's going it looks like its gonna be centralized and that won't be good for the crypto world entirely as more exchange may follow same process
They don't release their main net I guess, so we will find out if it's centralized or not.
BNB is successful as a ETH token and they don't need to shift into a centralized one, they will just change the crypto protocol, decentralization is what people love.
5470  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Pundi X - Any store can buy, sell and accept Cryptocurrency on: March 25, 2019, 06:09:29 AM
The crypto world is moving fast. And what will happen to Pundi X if Visa and Mastercard allow all users to buy and sell crypto. And not use third partys like Coinbase ? To wait for the money to be sent over to your Visa or Mastercard.

Many alts moving slow but steady now and NPXS standing still or going down. To me it looks like the huge players in the game are not interested in Pundi X at all. Do i got it all wrong ?

This is a discussion forum you are free to express your opinion while I think the majority of Pundi holders keep their tokens in their bags and enjoy the airdrop program every month so that doesn't mean big traders aren't interested.

Yes, Big traders will now show any interest in Airdrop because it is going to be a very small amount for them. They will invest high amounts into the coin which help them to sell the coins when the price of coin start increasing. Price chance in between 2 satoshis also they will make a very good amount of money.
Airdrop is good if it's coming from a trusted project and PundiX for me a good project that I can trust.
That airdrop is just a bonus, it could hurt investors like what we have witnessed when the airdrop criteria was not changed, but it's still temporary and we can view this situation now an opportunity since price is significantly low as compared to what it has achieve during its own bull run.
5471  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If BTC Dominance will drop to 40%, what will happen? on: March 25, 2019, 01:30:51 AM
BTC dominance is an useless metric, when u have people creating coins every day...
Making useless coins will not make it listed in coinmarketcap because they have a requirement.
Also, they are active in delisting useless coins so most of what we see are legit coins and if some will turn into useless if will decrease its marketcap as the value will also go down, so I still believe that https://coinmarketcap.com/ is very helpful to investors.
5472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: There is always a chance on: March 24, 2019, 03:03:00 AM
the name is gambling, surely there are thousands of opportunities. the question is are you one of those opportunities? therefore I don't really like lottery games, I prefer betting on soccer matches.
Lottery games are only for gamblers who are not serious with winning, they rely on their luck to win.
Betting in sports is different as it could be a career or a job if you will make yourself consistently winning, some people consider sports betting as their way to make a living, and that's really cool for me as a gambler as I know it's hard to do that, but some are just smart and capable.
5473  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I wish I dump all the BTC in late DEC 2017 on: March 24, 2019, 02:31:02 AM
what a year, wish I dump all the coin in late DEC lol

and today, spend the 100% from that capital and bought it again, so u still holding the same amount as late DEC while steady with the 900% profits..



The old "what if...." and "only if...." scenario again

 Grin

Normal for investors, there are regrets because we are not perfect.
Some might have sell at the right time but most of us caught up by the FOMO.
If we are still holding it until now, that's our decision that make it happen, and we should not regret if we still have faith in the market.
5474  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: will Bitcoin clock 4k today. on: March 24, 2019, 02:17:09 AM
And this time that it tried to retest the $4.2K, we couldn't even hold the $4K but the good news is that the drop wasn't hard- we just ended at $3.8K.


I did not even feel the dump, I'm seeing now BTC back stable at $4,000.

Based on that I believe, we're getting a stronger support now on the charts and hence there may be an upcoming rally for all of us. We just have to continue trusting and Hoping for better days. Maybe the bulls may consider us and initiate a pump.


Eventually that will happen, BTC will continue to retest resistance and will broke it.
It's not the first time it happened, so if we look at the trend, it happen many times in the past and what's vital is that the price is stable now.
5475  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should bitcoin be limited to 21 million? on: March 21, 2019, 09:06:40 AM
The 21 million is a lie.

We know that's the total of bitcoins but don't forget about the zeros after the point... 8 zeros have the trick. We don't need to fork the chain to add more bitcoins, if we change the transaction fees to 1 satoshi, and let the price goes to the moon (10sat=$1dllr), then those 21 million would look like an enormous number.
I agree with this, 1 whole bitcoin now is so expensive and might have a higher value in the future, but we have satoshis.
If the wild prediction of the experts that 1 bitcoin will turn into millions, then we should be transacting using satoshis instead of BTC as most of us can't afford to have at least 1 BTC that time.
5476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If BTC Dominance will drop to 40%, what will happen? on: March 21, 2019, 08:49:11 AM
I noticed that if BTC has a big dominant rate the entire crypto is bad, in short it looks bullish.
Though the rate now is very consistent to 50% and above, what do you think will happen to the market if it will drop that low.

Will this gives a bad or good effect to BTC and Altcoins?

Usually when Bitcoin dominance increases this means that altcoins are very cheap and this corresponds mostly with bearish trends.

When btc dominance lowers, altcoins become more expensive (bull run), btc price increases also, but not with the same speed.
Correct because the last bull run, BTC did not increase more than x10 but altcoins did increase more than x10 , some even have a x100 increase.
Therefore, when correction happens, it's just normal that altcoins will dump harder than BTC and we can confirmed that now.
5477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2018-2019 betting on: March 21, 2019, 08:42:21 AM
He's back, I agree with the pick, therefore I'm tailing.
Jazz will win this game again and let's just hope it's an easy win so the point spread will be covered.
I'll try to sell points here, will be taking -8 once the market is open.
5478  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For those thinking some bets are safe, read this on: March 21, 2019, 06:32:23 AM
Such thing as safe bet do not exist. In sports anything can happen and you can lose easily.
Thats why everybody should gamble only with money they can afford to lose.

Some people say that sports betting is more safe than other gambling games but this is infant not true. It maybe the fact that in sports betting you have something to think about and then take decisions but it is not 100% safe.
Gambling overall is not risk free. Every gambler must understand this before they start to gamble.
When I'm gambling I don't think of safety, I understand that everytime I do that I am risking money.
The risk of losing is always present as that is normal in gambling, however, we are hoping we can win that's why we are not afraid of taking risk.
We can call ourselves a real gambler if we are responsible at the same time, sports betting is fun and can give us better chance that games that has a house edge.
5479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Dice - why do you play in a particular casino? on: March 21, 2019, 06:21:30 AM
Hello,

What are the factors that make you play in a particular casino? What are the most important things for you?

There's a lot of Dice sites out there; I was wondering recently what makes some of them much more successful than the others. What are your thoughts on that?

I used to play dice games at primedice three years ago,because it was the biggest crypto dice site(and it still is,I guess).That was the only reason for me at that time,because I wasn't that familiar with dice games.
You know,big sites with lots of users=more trust&authority (that's not always true,but most of the people tend to believe this). Grin
I don't play dice games like I used to...
Popular sites like primedice is reputable that's why they exist until now and they are still popular.
The house edge is also a factor as all dice games has a house edge, the lower the house edge the better and primedice has a competitive house edge.
5480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If BTC Dominance will drop to 40%, what will happen? on: March 19, 2019, 04:36:56 AM
if bitcoin real dominance drops to 40% then it shows that bitcoin has lost the market to competition BUT so far bitcoin dominance is nearly 100% and we have a long way to go before even getting close to 50% let alone 40% and there is no competition so far.
The marketcap is the only basis when I tried to analyze things, I'm really as good as other traders who very smart with their TA.
I noticed that during the bull run, the marketcap showed BTC dominance of only 40% or over and the market really looks good at that point.
So, in case it will drop again, it should mean a good price for every coins.

Note : during the last bull run, even shitcoins made a rally also, so it could happen again IMO.
