5501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: May 20, 2021, 12:33:40 AM
People think they can stop wearing masks just because they were vaccinated as if they were already immune to the virus. I see people everywhere behaving like this, including the elderlies and it's not their fault since the currently restrictions are really softer not only for physical casinos, but for stores and businesses in general too.
Although the masks also don't guarantee any immunity against the virus, I think people should keep using them in public places, because the vaccine is only going to decrease the chance of being hospitalized and having complications in case of infection. The vaccine also doesn't guarantee an individual isn't going to die from coronavirus. So every caution worths.

The efficiency of the vaccines will be proved on practice only if we don't see a next infection wave on the next weeks and months. By there, land based casinos should be more careful with their customers.

I don't think any gambling provider can ensure 100% security of our personal data. No one knows what their leaks could lead to. I am in favour of giving my personal information and allowing it to be processed and stored only in exceptional cases.
That is alarming. But, then I wonder what they can do with our identity if it goes in the wrong hands? If we are afraid of them misusing it, we can always use a watermark on top of the images we give them, I think that solves the problem completely.
In a digital world like the one we live nowadays, I think there is no way to escape this risk, because sooner or later you will have to upload your documents to one of those data online collectors for different purposes that go beyond gambling kYC sign ups. I've already lost the count of how many times I had to sent my documents virtually. And each new day it becomes more frequently, as new services and opportunities don't stop popping on the internet, and in order to join them you have to show yourself.

If KYC data goes in wrong hands and our image is used maliciously by third party, the authorities must understand the situation, because as I said, we live right now in a digital world and everyone's data is on the internet, even if under government's possession, in the virtual clouds.
5503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the motive behind the anti gambling campaign on: May 19, 2021, 03:59:25 PM
Religious conservatives have a lot of political power, disproportionate to their actual population size. We always see them pushing these negative narratives around things which they find morally unacceptable. We rarely see people who are willing to counter against them so the moral crusaders end up getting their way more often than not.
Many religious representatives are against gambling, because in countries where gambling is legal people may launder money through gambling instead of laundering money donating to their churches and organizations. It makes the religious' income decrease.

On the other hand, the anti-gambling agenda isn't exclusivity of religious segments, because the liberal media is also totally against it. In fact, many conservatives and leftists are against gambling.
5504  Economy / Speculation / Re: More individuals like Elon musk, the price might fall further. on: May 19, 2021, 02:55:47 PM
What do you think?
There are many speculators in this market, as you said, more individuals like Elon Musk. They are selling bitcoins right now because they predict the market is going to crash to deeper levels, so they can start investing again when btc reaches to the bottom. These people aren't leaving crypto market, they are just taking a break.

The real issue is that the small and new investors get too disappointed in times like this, so many of them may think about quitting bitcoin definitively. On long run, whales get stronger, because they never give up crypto market and know how to play with prices, while mass adoption doesn't happen, as people from this second group are well know for their weak hands and for being impatient.
5505  Economy / Speculation / Re: A moment of silence please. on: May 19, 2021, 02:31:00 PM
If I keep holding there is nothing to lose, besides seeing my funds negative for a while, otherwise if I sell, I may be losing the opportunity to see bitcoin hitting a new ATH and giving this opportunity to the institutional investors, who already rule the world through their financial power. It means if I sell bitcoin I'm giving more power to these people enslave me.
Comparing the disadvantages and advantages of selling bitcoin right now or not, I definitely reach to the conclusion I shouldn't sell anything, except the amount needed to pay for daily expenses, as usual, that must be converted to fiat first.
5506  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why crypto (bitcoin) is better than traditional money? on: May 18, 2021, 10:00:03 PM
I think Crypto have more better than money.
one of the advantages is that transactions are faster than real money. Then the administrative costs are cheaper and even almost nonexistent. And maybe many more.

I still see one drawback of cryptocurrency. What if someone forgets to back up their wallet access, then loses access to the wallet? they will lose as much assets as they have in cryptocurrency. I know, if crypto technology is much superior, but fiat is a crypto friend that can not be separated from both.
It's because in crypto universe you are responsible for your money and nobody else. There are no middlemen or authorities taking care your money and guaranting insurance. It's the price to pay for decentralization. At same time, if you are a responsible person, store your passwords safely, care for your personal devices and are cautious about where you access your wallet you will be safe.
I believe in the near future there will be alternative options to give investors more safety when keeping their coins, like third party services offering storage for crypto currency with the same guarantees you have when storing fiat at bank. However, nothing is more guaranteed than storing your money in your own hands.
5507  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Oh, market manipulation is finally bad now? on: May 18, 2021, 07:26:27 PM
Well, that is how a decentralized market full of idolaters works, sooner or later it becomes centralized around a disgusting figure anyway. The issue isn't a big player trying to manipulate people (if we can really call this manipulation), but people letting themselves to be so easily manipulated by a selfish joker. I think first of all the sheep should be blamed for being fool.
Opinions, half truth and tweets will always exist and people behing them have their own personal reasons and interests to spread them on the internet. Those who receive these informations are the ones who need to absorb what is worthful, while ignoring or throwing away what is biased.
5508  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin continues dumping even MicroStrategy purchased additional Bitcoin. on: May 18, 2021, 04:50:06 PM
Pretty much every institution is giving up on bitcoin, that's why it's dumping.
That is what institutional investors want to make you think lol. It's called bluff, right?
If bitcoin were going to die, Elon Musk wouldn't have put 1.5$ billion of dollars into btc, Paypal wouldn't have adopted it as payment method and Mark Zuckerberg wouldn't be farming likes and attention on the internet exhibiting his goat named bitcoin. The biggest whales of the world are addicted to bitcoin, they just can't admit it in public, or there will be even less coins disponible for them.
5509  Economy / Speculation / Re: Everyone acting like there hasn’t been dips like this during a bitcoin bull mark on: May 18, 2021, 04:15:05 PM
Now there are a lot of info reasons that somehow affect the bitcoin exchange rate, recently more and more information appears in the press about the introduction of new bans and restrictions, for example, the latest news from China, as reported by journalist Colin Wu: "Three associations under the People's Bank of China (NBK) have issued a joint notice prohibiting companies from supporting business related to cryptocurrencies." The document referred to by Wu was signed by the China Banking Association, the Internet Finance Association, and the Payment and Clearing Association. They recommended that citizens refrain from investing in cryptocurrencies and reminded that such operations are not protected by law"



That is something I don't understand. How can China be so hostile towards bitcoin since most mining bitcoin power is concentrated in that country? Theoretically they would be more benefited if China were friendly to crypto currency, especially bitcoin. Or are they just trying to avoid common citizens from adopting btc, while the government and some vip citizens are incentivized doing so?
Anyway I think it's not so impacting for the market, because these news coming from China always follow the same pattern, and as said above, they are the main bitcoin miners in the world, so it makes no sense for them to prejudice bitcoin.
5510  Economy / Speculation / Re: Free falling Bitcoin on: May 18, 2021, 02:24:34 PM
Crashes in price are the worse trap for new investors. I believe their impact is even worse than scam offers for investors who lack experience in the market, as they cause a more severe damage on investors' psychological and for many it's the end of their investments in crypto, losing the long run profitability of bitcoin, as we have already seen in past years investors acting like this.

Yesterday the news said fearful and scared new investors were already selling all their bitcoins due to the crash in bitcoin price, while older investors were already buying these bitcoins, because they know it's a great opportunity to collect more bitcoins for a good price. So, don't panic, never.
5511  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: May 18, 2021, 02:14:21 PM
It doesn't really matter if you are an old user or a new user. The reward you get in each free roll depends on the amount you have already wagered and number of tickets you have purchased.
Therefore, the reward a new user get can be higher than an old user.
The base reward can be increased up to 19 times if you play multiply game, bet on events or buy lottery tickets.
The age of the account has no effect at all. Everything is based on the balance and a ratio of total free winnings to the total amount wagered.
You also have to wager your earnings. The bonus on the free spins increase based on a progress level.
Oh yes, thank you all for pointing it out. I have forgotten by wagering at dice you can also increase your free roll earnings progressively.

Why are rewards for old users different from rewards for new users? I have never hearded this before.
It's hard to find referrals because our ref links get usually exposed to people looking for ways to make extra income from zero, what is really hard at Freebitco.in, and from my experience most referrals give up claiming on faucet because they would like 200$ jackpot prize happened more often. The most worthful referrals are the gamblers and investors ones. These are hard to find, but once you do it, they will generate a nice passive income.

Old users earn 20-30 satoshi for each roll  while a new user earn 3-5 satoshi for each roll another difference is that old users without capta, while new users have capta. with this system new users avoid freebitcoin because reward is irrelevant.
I think the no captcha feature isn't for old or new users, but for users who are also investors. You can be a new user and invest in FUN, so you will also have the captcha removed.
But about the 20-30 satoshis per roll it's something new for me, because as far as I know without temporary boosts from rewards tab, everyone gets the base 3-5 satoshis minimum. Where did you see this information or who did tell you that?

There are also other bonuses available free Tickets, Reward Points all potentially get bitcoin, if lucky  Cheesy
If you dare to take risks, you can also bet on sports the opportunity to double the balance
These features are the reason why im attracted to stay in this site.
Even I dont have money to use, I can still earn reward points, tickets and few satoshis.
It might not that huge but still a good thing to have a chance to make it grow by hitting a jackpot.

I get obsessed when I see a user with 100 tickets hitting one of the lottery I know there are a lot of rivals there but luck can beat anything
Unfortunately it is very difficult to find referrals at this time the reward for new users is different from old users so it's hard to attract new users

5514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ohio offering lottery prize worth one million for those that get the COVID shot on: May 17, 2021, 03:11:40 PM
I think it's a really curious situation. If the government is doing this giveaway it's because a considerable parcel of the local population avoid being vaccinated.
Before saying if the lottery idea is good or not, I would like to know why Ohio's citizens don't want the vaccine. If they have a point on the discussion, the lottery might be a bad idea, because it's a kind of bribery to make people change their minds. And opinions can't be bought. Opinions can only change through the logical debate of the facts and truth.
5515  Economy / Speculation / Re: I speculate Tesla has sold their coins on: May 17, 2021, 02:53:07 PM
I don't think so. This guy may pretend towards his community and fans he has sold Tesla's bitcoins to lure another investors to sell their coins and dump the market, but in fact Elon keeps his bitcoins intact on the wallet waiting for a new ATH.

He plays with words all the time, constantly changing his statements every few days.
Today he says bitcoin isn't good for the environment, but tomorrow he can say the issue is already being fixed, so bitcoin is not going to be harmful anymore. I hope sooner or later investors get tired of these jokes and stop taking him seriously when investing in crypto market.
5516  Economy / Economics / Re: Economical Politics by an insane guy is the reason for this crash! on: May 17, 2021, 01:03:02 AM
I think we have only to thanks mr. Elon Musk and his *cattle herd* (insane followers) for a new opportunity to buy cheaper bitcoins they gave us. And I hope more of those institutional investors come in to play with crypto market's prices again, because in the end there will be always less coins on their hands and more cheap bitcoins for everyone else.

Institutions are already taking a move now as they wanted a cheaper btc. I don't know where this bang bang will stop but I am sure I will be having so many opportunities to fill my bags with some good choices instead of looking for btc and eth, they are very risky and I think I should now move my holdings to some better coins which may not damage my portfolio the way this btc and eth did.
My friend, I think nothing changed. Bitcoin isn't the most profitable currency these days in terms of percentage gains, but it is still the most trustful and safest crypto currency investment. I suspect many alt developers and big investors want people to really think bitcoin is slowly losing its status and fading out from the market, so their personal projects can be boosted, but meanwhile they are the ones going to buy the bitcoins dropped for sell.
Look at Elon Musk: he dumped bitcoin and keeps shilling for dogecoin, but don't forget 90% of his btc investment is still intact. He is surely holding for the future, while another investors sell their coins desperately. And who do you think is going to buy these coins soon?
5517  Economy / Economics / Re: Economical Politics by an insane guy is the reason for this crash! on: May 16, 2021, 09:04:19 PM
All of these are examples which show how an insane guy's personal revenge on a whole community could lead to unexpected losses. I want to ask those institutions' lovers, do you still want them in crypto? Do you want them to make crypto their hedge all their losses and when they will take out their profits, everyone in crypto will lose? Isn't everything in crypto getting under their control, which means it is being centralized?
You have answered you own question:

Anyway I thank Elon as he is selling all his $1.5 billion worth btc in the markets causing this correction, thanks to him we will be buying his btc more cheaper. Smiley

5518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Someone on Tiktok said that Bitcoin will go down zero if founder show up! on: May 16, 2021, 06:13:24 PM
I don't know why knowing the creator would destroy the price I don't see any reason to it.
Depending who is the creator of bitcoin it could discourage investors to keep their money in bitcoin, because it's known Satoshi Nakamoto holds a considerable portion of coins, and if the person behind the nickname is found, there are some chances this person is connected to important corporations, businesses and institutions, what would centralize bitcoin around the elements the creator is involved with, in a kind of conflict of interest.
On the other hand, Satoshi Nakamoto might not be connected to any company or financial world's personalities, not impacting bitcoin negatively like said before, or he might be even dead at this point.
5519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: May 16, 2021, 04:29:33 PM
Moreover, most gamblers are seen as addicts, (because the majority of them are) thus, people will question your earnings and point their finger at you if you reveal them that you've lost a X amount of money.

That's a huge one, and I will not agree with that. By saying most, it means that gambling is really bad and should be ban, maybe it depends on the community or country you are living in as we have different cultures and in some religions, gambling itself is a sin, hence should be avoided.

People will only question your earing from gambling if they hate gambling or they don't understand gambling, and since you know what gambling is and you love it, there's no need to explain to them.
Actually most gamblers aren't problem gamblers. I've found a study saying about 3%-4% of the United States adults have issues or potential issues with gambling addiction, while around 60% of the country's population have gambled in the recent years. In another countries I believe it must be similar. Sometimes we have the impression most gamblers can't control themselves because the news spread stories about this category of players often, while they completely ignore normal gamblers who don't put their hobby in detriment of their personal lives and welfare. News want clicks and views, so they have to focus in problem gamblers only, that is understandable.
5520  Economy / Speculation / Re: These reasons are enough to get bitcoin to keep rising despite Elon Musk Fud on: May 16, 2021, 03:28:04 PM
The impingement of Elon Musk is undeniable. Bitcoin can go up even higher, but a slight percentage of crypto investors had abandoned bitcoin and it is not a good sign to me at all.

A high number of institutional investors do not mean that price of bitcoin is secured. Those people can easily dump bitcoin just like Elon did and it is even more catastrophe because those people hold a big number of bitcoin whereas Elon only impacts with his speech

Though, I still believe in bitcoin. We can have a bearish market right now but it does not stop me from holding more and more bitcoin. The economy is getting the more awful cause of inflation and centralization. Having even a small fraction of bitcoin gives us access to new alteration of the economy, where technologies and financial become one
Always a whale or institutional investor drops a lot of coins on the market, they give us the opportunity to acquire more bitcoins for a cheaper price, so it doesn't have a total negative impact for bitcoin adopters. While some are here just to play with the prices on short run, there are many others who are interested in bitcoin thinking on long run and as a safe way to protect their funds against inflation and government's abuses.
Thanks to the long run investors bitcoin can survive and hit higher resistance levels each new season, while there are less coins disponible for short run speculators each new day.
