581  Economy / Economics / Re: Keeping money and keeping bitcoins? are they similar? on: January 26, 2023, 07:18:24 PM
Bitcoin is something you save to have more gain in it; however, keeping money is different from keeping bitcoin in that you can come and take it as it is being kept and no matter how there will be a monthly bank fee deducted from your savings; bitcoin price may rise and you got many profits there that you can't imagine; however, we don't save money and think that you are expecting profit from it; as a result, keeping bitcoin and keeping money are not similar.
That is one of the use of Bitcoin, as an investment instrument but it was only optional. It's main use is still a currency, the same with fiat money. Keeping BTC and money are quite similar if we look at them in the outside but from the inside, they aren't different anymore because like you said, BTC value is growing but fiat is stable and sometimes decrease in purchasing power due to the inflations.

We can still keep money in our own possession and not in a bank. That way you will never pay a fee but you only need to make sure that you keep your money properly or store in it in a vault with a passcode that you only know so that it won't be stolen by someone else.
582  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone making 4 or 5 digits (USD) monthly from Crypto Sports betting? on: January 26, 2023, 05:56:11 PM
I guess you must have gotten the answer you desire by now but if no then I will suggest some nice casinos for relatively nice reviews and great reputation on the forum such as :
~stake.com
~duelbit
~sportber
And lots more and you can check on the reputation board their you will get some of the best and nice casinos over there with proven records of excellence. Also remember that what works for me might not also work for you and in most cases what you have to do is figure out a nice casino, get used and mastered with it and then try to know the basis of the platform and stake your bet and always remember to do so responsibly as no one will be held responsible for any challenges you encounter of things goes sour with you.
Goodluck.
The OP is talkin about sports but the casino sites that you provided there are dual in terms of game categories. They also have sports betting on the side other than their award-winning casino games. I think there is no need for him to re-check the reputation of those sites because a lot of us will agree here that they are all legit. For those bad feedbacks that they are getting then it was only made by their haters or possibly competitors. There are also some who are guilty from cheating but they have been busted out and won't take it so they just try to destroy the reputation of those gambling sites.

As for the other question of the OP, which is to make 4-5 digits. I think this was only achievable if you are a large bettor. If not then it will be hard for you.
583  Economy / Speculation / Re: I think Bottom is gone on: January 26, 2023, 10:26:32 AM
the price of bitcoin can survive the negative news and can even increase because the negative news will always be there to try to bring bitcoin down. We will still see market fluctuations but we shouldn't panic or worry because that won't make bitcoin abandoned by investors. And in the end, the bitcoin price will increase and create a new ATH again.
I wouldn't say hopefully for something that is very possible. How many times we survive a negative news? Bitcoin is 13 yrs old already. Negative news will always be there but they aren't built to bring Bitcoin down. There were different reasons on why they happen. It was the fake news or the FUDs created by the BTC haters or the whales whose intention is to bring the price down for their own benefit.

Market fluctuations is normal as well but this doesn't scare experienced users because they can use this on their benefit. this is where they can be able to buy low and sell high. The bottom is still there actually and it is the current price that we have now. I can say this because will abandon this price soon but if ever we fail to continue or there are obstacles along the way, this should be the lowest point that we can get at the moment.
584  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin, Dogecoin Gain After Musk's Tweets, But Will There Be Another Bull Run? on: January 26, 2023, 02:59:50 AM
the focus should be on the potential of blockchain technology and how it can improve our world, rather than getting caught up in market manipulation and greed. It's important to keep in mind that the value of a cryptocurrency should not be determined by one individual, but rather by the technology and its ability to provide a useful solution. It's also worth considering diversifying your portfolio and not putting all your eggs in one basket, whether that be Bitcoin or any other coin.
If it's only about potential then Bitcoin has it. BTC has also done some contributions to solve the real word problems like fighting the inflation and restrictions because of its decentralized nature. Doge coin on the other hand is only the opposite of BTC.

I don't know what contributions it did but I think only cause more problems because it encourage people to create more meme coins and like you said to become greedy of chasing easy money. These types of coins can depend on a few powerful individuals because they can be able to manipulate the coin but a legit or fair crypto is truly decentralized and is fairly distributed to all people in the world.
585  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Btc get to $12k or $10k on: January 25, 2023, 08:43:30 PM
Asumming that bitcoin will get to 10k , the question is what are your plans on this event? planning to buy more or will just keep hitting the hold?
because if you are not interested on both then there is no reason why need to ask this and besides mentioning that you are student and learning , then best to instead of asking this same question ? just come and read running threads about same thing , if the bottom is on or not and if we are in bull or not.
Given that we haven't seen those prices stated in the OP then I think the best thing to do is to try and grab our piece even if we already bought during the peak of 2022 bear market. There is nothing wrong on coming up a question like this even if one has no intention of buying or holding. What can we do? Some people are just curious.

Reading is great but asking a question is I think much better than it. We should be happy that there are still people who are like this than those who only go on their own and then ended up being a failure. For those who want to dump the price, maybe they just want to buy more coins at a better rates.
586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your take on this crypto gambling use case idea? on: January 25, 2023, 01:44:10 PM
A crypto gambling having its own currency only will not be successful since most of the users prefers different crypto currency like Bitcoin, usdt and etc.

Most of the gambling sites uses different types of cryptocurrency for a bigger chance of having more players. A casino must be open for different coins for easy and better gambling experience. Using native token will only go to failure of your project.
You just said that "user prefers different crypto" and then "a wide variety of coins attracts more players" so therefore introducing this new crypto to be used in gambling can be effective to magnet more players. You know, people can also get bored on the same coin so there is this urge that they want to try something new.

There are gambling sites which has their own tokens. They can be Owlcasino, Betfury and moonbet (only to name a few) and these casinos are still alive and doing well. So, how can you say that a casinos that has their own token "will only go failure"? Currently the numbers of these casino are still less so we need to see more of them.
587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's a good idea to just register on casino on: January 24, 2023, 04:41:32 PM
i play online casino long time never receve bonus what a joke
What is the name of that casino you are playing? Because not all are generous enough to give a bonus and maybe it was a centralized/non-crypto casino because I did try many of them in the past and most of them don't give a bonus. There are some who have it but only gives a tiny amount. They don't have cashback, reload, monthly bonus and other exciting bonuses that can make the gambler come back.

This is why I did not hesitate to switch on crypto casinos after seeing their offers. Some bonus do also have a their own terms like you must deposit a certain amount and then wager it on xxx times to be able to receive the money on your main balance. Are you sure you read the terms completely?
588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 24, 2023, 03:21:31 PM
Agreed, cricket lovers prioritize test format cricket in which it is possible to see the real game of the players. With most of cricket fans, the time is a big problem. For the same reason other format of cricket have taken the place. However with the involvement of few teams into test cricket it is possible to watch some good cricket. We don't know how long this continues, because today we were able to see three T20 league taking place simultaneously. BPL, BBL ans SA20.
LOL... completely wrong.

Test viewership is declining for the past one or two decades and hardly anyone watches test cricket especially when team outside the pig-4 play. The only test series that are of interest to viewers are Border-Gavaskar (India vs Australia), Trans-Tasman (Australia vs New Zealand), Ashes (Australia vs England) and any potential India vs Pakistan series. Outside these, test cricket is pretty much dead. T20 (especially the franchise leagues) is what attracted viewers back to cricket. For every 1 fan who watch test cricket, there are 10 who watch T20. It is the preferred format for the younger generation.
I absolutely agreed about this and want to add some more things in next few years we will have no charm for test format in many countries and just top four will be enjoyed this because they have good sponsors for this and their system is also allowed them to have luxury like these others will surely suffer or even can exit from this because this is not profitable for them in long run and now from here ICC needs to do some revolutionary changes which will help them for doubling their revenue even have big market for the cricket as well just work on few things which helps new countries, and they will be able to have better facilities and structure for this all.

In test The Ashes, Trans-Tasman and BGT are enough for them to have good profit and viewership others needs to easily exit and enjoy this new shorter format for better life.
589  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How do you feel about market recovery on: January 24, 2023, 05:59:52 AM
I am both bullish and bearish at the same time for current market outlook. I believe markets can easily recover itself through Bitcoin's strong demand stabilizing everything. I feel like last moves happening this month are very healthy and shows how secure Bitcoin investment can be. Although I can't exactly say same for altcoins. Altcoins are not going bad, yet, we need to wait for possible to hit 30000 line with Bitcoin to mitigate risk with altcoin investment.
I think he is asking if what do we feel about the market and not if what do we think can happen with the market. The only obvious answer for this would be to feel great of course because man that was recovery and it means the price is going upwards and then people can now sell for a profit. Not only by this month but it's already proven long time ago that Bitcoin is a safe investment due to its amazing characteristics.

I am only wondering on why there are still people who seem to can't understand it because they still keep on worrying when we are in a bad times like this but I don't really call this a bad time. The other side of the cycle is only happening. BTC and altcoins move as one so you shouldn't doubt them.
590  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I keep my BNB or Sell it? on: January 23, 2023, 05:48:01 PM
I don't think have huge problem when investing or keep holding your assets in Binance coin, after dominance as top global exchange for Binance market I don't have doubt with BNB potential at the future. Binance exchange have been success monopoly all exchange global right now and I think huge potential for the future with BNB coin.

Still not late for investing in BNB nowadays because price on $300 has potential with BNB back to all time high price almost reach above $680 last one year, I sure with Binance as monopoly exchange they have chance make new higher price for BNB coin few months later actually how consistency and stable price from Bitcoin.
But Binance or BnB is still too centralized. I am sure you already heard what happened with FTX and its coin. A lot of people then look back to Binance and starts to worry about its future and what if it fails one day? My only advice for those who want to continue is just be vigilant on what is happening with binance and its coin.

But before anything else, id like to congratulate the OP for getting a juicy $800 out of that airdrop only. That was rare nowadays knowing that there are now lots of scams. If you want to @OP you can keep some of your BnB and then sell or trade most of it for Bitcoin. You can also allocate some for stable coin to have something to get in case of emergencies.
591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 22, 2023, 09:18:04 PM
juventus is losing in this game, but honestly I preferred not to bet against juventus, even though I knew that their chances of winning were small, as a fan of juventus I feel very sad because I expected us to be in the champions league, but with the decision from the court we lost many points and became a team reduced to nothing mainly because Massimiliano Allegri's style of play we are simply lost

I wonder how long we'll continue to be a shitty team, we play to score just a few goals and if we score a lot of goals it's always something unbelievable, so even watching Juventus games makes me lazy Cry
What an entertaining game between top two Italian sides after having early goal through Lookman at the end of first half Atlanta was struggling with score of 2 - 1 but after the start of second half they have again done good performance and score two quick goals which give them lead of 2 - 3 in this match, but Juventus is also in good shape and having good attack which is helping them for having positive result and Danilo scored third goal for the home side which again bring score at the level of 3 - 3 we have already six goals in this match and 20 minutes left which mean we can expect good entertainment and good end of this match which is important for the home side after deduction of the 15 points by the Italian league authorities for their criminal offense.

There no perfect systems anywhere because there might be hitches sometimes. Although throughout my dealings with Bitcoin wallets I have never experienced any form of transaction failure or balance issues, all my transactions have been successful. But most of these Central Bank Chiefs always see Bitcoin as the illegitimate child of money and fiat as the legitimate offspring.
Even if a Bitcoin wallet showed a mistaken balance, for example, an experienced user would shifty assume it is an error produced by the wallet itself and its synchronization system. One can always check the blockchain through an explorer, it is a backup plan.

With FIAT, the backup plan is praying people at the bank do not mess with one's balance after the problem is allegedly solved. Because things like that, Bitcoin is appreciated and I dare to say: necessary.
That's because there are no perfect systems (like he said) so even the bitcoin that everyone here praises or the bitcoin wallets, still has their own flaws. I already experienced that synchronization error before on different wallets that I use. Sometimes the problem is on our side like our internet is only slow so we shouldn't always put the blame on them.

If it's about funds that haven't arrived yet, we can check the transaction in the block explorers to see their status. Banks have always been involved in anomalies so I wouldn't trust them. Praying doesn't always works on them. Better if all of us just use BTC because we can be our own bank here. We fully control our funds.

Eric did brought Manchester united into bright light,he was able to discipline the players and built a team that is very strong and superb. It is Eric vs Xavi on the match day as both coach will want to show their quality that they have all it takes to win the match. Barca are performing excellently which will not make it easy for Manchester united to win the match. If Lewandoski is macked out it will be a problem for the club since De pay is gone.
Since Depay has already left, I'm sure they're looking for a plan B. The worst-case scenario for Barcelona is that Lewandowski is injured before their match against Manchester United. I'm not saying they won't have a chance, but they'll face a lot of pressure from Manchester United, as well as a goal drought because they don't have a striker who can simply finish the game for them when necessary. This is supposed to be a tough match, but given the present state of things, we may have to just see Manchester United prevailing against Barcelona.
Barcelona financial position is not good, and they are facing troubles just because of this selling their few players those are having high salaries even right now La Liga management never give them permission for having replacements, so this can create problems for them, but they have to face this all situation until end of this season because currently they are not able to have any buying.

They are leading in La Liga but having challenging situation in both leagues with their match against Manchester United is also coming soon so things looking not well and if they have any serious injury to Robert Lewandowski this could be more troubling and with this they can lose this all success quickly and face another troubling end of this season like they have in last few seasons.

Is PvP gaming a thing?

2. Casino B:
PvP casino where players compete against each others in games such as Poker, Rummy, Ludo, 8Pool, Monopoly, Race Cars, Flipcoin, etc..., with the prize being your opponents buy-in amounts.


If you don't want to express your thoughts, simply answer with A or B.

If that is the only capital to put in? then I chose gambling 2 because I will at least enjoy and have happy time before losing  Grin

but if given a chance? I would choose both , I love luck base gambling and I also love playing sports game.
What do you mean by the only capital? Maybe you mean to say only game? Because any capital (small or big) it's still up to us if what kind of game we are going to choose and play. There were also lots of casinos invented now so you shouldn't only limit yourself on one to two casino especially if they only have limited amount of games. However no doubt that PVP games are more enjoyable because your skills are being tested here.

If you are weak, you can always practice to improve your skill and beat your opponent the next time you face them again. There are people who are versatile and can play different kind of games if they will get bored with the other so it's also a good idea to combine all three (PVP, sports and luck based games) under one roof.

Brighton did not win today, they may have lost points, but they are sneaking behind, they have a style of play that can challenge big teams. Young forward Evan Ferguson has good potential, it's obvious. The opening goal of Mitoma was very good, I like it very much when left wing players play like this.
Leicester City were able to win one draw after their defeat, I can say it was a difficult day for them.
After losing their coach and having few poor rounds before break now Brighton back in business, and they have done good job against both Liverpool teams before having draw against struggling Leicester City in this match even they were in well control of the game and have early leaded as well but Leicester City also done good job and fights back with having lead in second half which was denied by Ferguson goal and give them one point to his team Brighton which is now having good performance and back at the top half of the league table but here good result for the home side as well which was on four matches losing streak now having first point in their last five games but still needs good improvement if they want to stay in safe zone.

India Women's team is making themselves strong with their performance. In Women's cricket something close to 150 runs is good and India defended it at 120 runs. India Women cricket is getting better over time. More cricketing action happening all around and this time Women's team too getting importance. Women's teams need to have continued series will make them better over time.
indian team won by 27 run - did great bowling attack
Women team too needs an attention and appreciation - and financial support
I once watched a movie on Indian women player - shahbas mitu and it showed how women team suffered financially
After losing first match against in this TRI Series today South Africa improved their batting and done good job against West Indies with after winning toss they elected to bat first and score 141 runs Marizanne Kapp score 52 runs and captain Sune Luus also contributed with 30 runs on 26 balls which was enough for them to having West Indies under pressure which is now on batting and have not good time after 12 overs they are while chasing target of 142 right now at 53/4 required rate is 11 which is looking not good for West Indies realistically Masabata Klaas done good damage in early overs and have 3/9 in just 2 overs look like we will have South Africa vs India final which could be ended in favor of India because these both teams are not good enough to compete with them.

You have to get into the mindset of these marketing guys.. to understand their objectives. A while ago.... some people were very unhappy with Stake.com over a Sport promotion they did, where they gave $40 to people who made Sport bets in a 5 day period. (No matter if you bet was $0.01 or $1 000 000)

Now, the people from the casino side, who seldom bet on Sport betting.... was unhappy about that, but from a marketing perspective... it made sense. The casino rewarded the regular Sport betting crowd... and they also incentivized other players to make regular Sport bets to possibly get into the next promotion.  Wink

Your situation are very similar..... they kick started a promotion to jump start the smaller gamblers... so it was not something personal against their high rollers.  Tongue
About what happened with stake I think it is not fair for those who only bet on casino games. Many of them are also a regular player there so why won't stake give them the same reward?

I don't think it does make sense or stake did the right move there. See the outcome is? It only made their casino players disappointed and many of them might not come back on stake anymore because of this. Afaik, stake's sports betting isn't new anymore so why will they still need to promote it or push more people to place bets on it? Stake started with their casino games.

This is where they became popular so they shouldn't forget this too. 40 USD is too small for a high roller but stake could come up with a better plan than this. Why not gave more to those who bet more and then give only small to those who bet less? Only to be fair.
598  Economy / Economics / Re: Iran and Russia want to issue new stablecoin backed by gold on: January 21, 2023, 06:40:23 AM
Am I assuming this will be a case of a centralized token or something like that? Because I tried to find within the article any indication on what blockchain they plan to launch this token and I did not find anything.

Also, the way I see it, the success of this token would depend on the acceptation it would have in the markets and I doubt the United States and the European Union would allow any of their allies and businesses to accept this token as payment method. At best, it could become an standard in Russia, Iran, China and (if they are lucky) in their spheres of power (Venezuela, African countries, etc).

However, China already is pushing their own CBDC...
You are right with your assumptions. No doubt that this was centralized, the same with the CBDC because it was the banks and the governments are the ones that issued them. This is different to the normal cryptos that coins can be issued on different networks or blockchains like ETH, Tron and SOL. They have a blockchain of their own.

But like any other crypto, indeed that it will only be successful if it will be adopted by a lot of people or countries. I don't know if what is the status of US and Europe to Iran and Russia but if they are in a war then it will not be adopted by them. China has their own CDBC but that one is different from this, as it is said that it was backed by gold.

There is one match in the Coupe de France match today but it is a really big one. Marseille are hosting Rennes tonight and Marseille are highly favoured for the win in this match. These two teams are competing for the Champions League spots in the Ligue 1 on one hand. Marseille are in a much better condition of course with a lasting winning streak. Rennes have lost a couple of matches lately and they would like to make up for it in this cup match surely.

The last time they played against each other resulted in Rennes' victory. This might be Marseille's time. I assume they will care about this cup as much as the league. There isn't a single time they won this cup in the past. While they are having a decent season they should go for this title also.
This game is going to be high tempo game with both teams are at their best Marseille having third spot and Rennes having fifth and their last win against PSG give them good confidence and Marseille is having no lost in their last five games which is the amazing time for them as now things are looking balances with two loses for the PSG after the break cut the points gape second spotted Lens having three points gapes and Marseille which is currently at the third spot having five points gapes this is surely good time for all top teams to give their best and have chance against PSG which is currently under pressure for their next game against Bayern Munich which is going to play in February these tough challenges can bring some good interest in Ligue 1 title race for this season which is mostly ended with one-sided win by PSG with their quality strength.

What you said is true, and the clubs you mentioned really have differences in the Champions League and the domestic league. This may be due to different opponents and also their different readiness in the domestic league and champions league. The pressure that exists will also cause a gap in their game which will later affect their performance in the game.
Several big matches will be presented in the middle of February, I want to see what kind of surprises will be shown in the Champions League this season. Several dark horse clubs will also be interesting to observe, how their journey in the Champions League will be.
In this February, we will have good challenging matches for many big clubs because these are ready for their adventure but how things will be gone nothing is clear with current circumstances few clubs are struggling in their domestic leagues, but we can expect good performance from then in these big games because they are ready for this and have enough quality which will help them for having positive results.

Right now, few matches having good hype about how things will go it could be interesting for the fans and surely things could be changed for these clubs if they are not able to have their desired results specially clubs like PSG and Manchester City are desperately waiting for their success but few other clubs which have quality, skills and game changer players are much better even they are having no luxuries like these two clubs.
