581  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do Anyone Think Luna Will Recover? on: March 21, 2023, 06:31:25 AM
There are investors that want to play in a hot tub through reinvesting into these projects that have been already proved to be a scam and no signs of recovering.
Well, the thinking is that who knows if it recovers and then they hold thousands or millions of it. That's why it's like the thinking that they'll be getting a jackpot with these projects.
But IMHO, instead of getting into these projects like Luna or Lunc or UST, it's pretty much saving time if they just avoid and ignore projects that have already collapsed.
Re-investing? Does it mean they are those old investors of the luna coin? But if they have profited at first and have sold before it collapsed then I think it's fine and maybe that means they know how to play the game. If not and they are one of those who lose big time then I don't think it's a good idea to engage on it again. One mistake must have learned us a big lesson already and we must corrected it because if not, we will only look like a fool.

AFAIK there are no more UST and the other LUNA coin but you are right that we should avoid them or this new luna coin because they already have a past bad record. There are still plenty of great out there which can give us a peace of mind.

The problem is that when they still don't have any basis in trading, it looks like they are standing by to those who are already there and I have felt that before because they were there, the assumption was that we could get leaked signals for free without needing to think about analysis or anything, because already There is.
Indeed, to increase knowledge is a good thing, but we cannot be completely complacent with it because we also have to keep learning to be better so that the condition is not detrimental to ourselves in the end.
I think you are guilty because you are only depending on others. But why not tip those traders that give you a winning signal? That should ease the guiltiness that we feel and then we can also try learning on our own so that we can be independent later on. We can still be part of that community but this time we are the ones who will share our knowledge.

It was like we are bringing back the favor to them and it was a way of saying thanks for their help once we are still a newbie in the scene of trading. A community or a group is always great to have so that we will have a company with us. We can talk to the people with the same interest as us. It kills boredom or being alone, so it's always a must to have.

Bayern Munich lost. It didn't look like that in the early stages of the game. After half an hour, Bayern Munich was leading 0-1 and seemed to be heading for a big victory. They missed the chances and then Leverkusen got better and better into the game. Leverkusen eventually scored the 1-1 quite quickly in the 2nd half and the 2-1 was not unearned either. So the unimaginable has happened: Dortmund is at the top and Bayern Munich has a long way to go to extend the title. I would love it if Dortmund managed to become champions again.
After end of first half Bayern Munich were leading by 0 - 1 even most of the time Bayer Leverkusen were in better position, but things were completely different in second half with Bayern Munich were in better position but home side score two goals which give them win which is surely best for them in this season because things were never been ideal for them in this season after staying into relegation zone for long time, but this win is surely going to be big booster for them with now they are already had spot in Europa Cup quarter-final as well it's all clearly showing how Alonso bringing changes around this club.

With this win now they are having better spot and if they will be able to keep this momentum then surely they can go through into top six as well which will be also big achievement for them in this season.

The way I perceive bitcoin enriching the world is a bit different, although cryptocurrency has raised more millionaires than any other venture, I feel it does a different form of wealth transfer. Let's not forget that cryptocurrency also does a four-year cycle, and let's be aware that not everyone made money in cryptocurrency, some lost a lot.
The four year cycle you mean is the Bitcoin halving but it is not a disadvantage. It actually help Bitcoin to be more scarce, making its value to increase even more. Before cryptos have created, there are already Forex, Stocks and others so I don't think crypto has raise more millionaires than them.


In fact, I think there are more losers in here and the ones who only benefits the most are the scammers and the fraudsters. It does have a different form of wealth transfer and that is the medium that we will be using here is Bitcoin (not cash/fiat or anything). This maybe weird or too complex to some but for us this was unique and cool. It also has an advantage and that is, there are less to no restrictions at all and the transfers are much faster.

Looking at the conditions, it is only Dortmund now that makes the competition there still exist but by looking at the current schedule, Dortmund will still have a little problem but now by being temporarily in first place with an extraordinary massacre I think this is a good capital for facing Bayern next week.

The expectations are obviously in the hands of Dortmund but I don't expect too much about the trophy although indeed for the current competition it clearly adds enough excitement to the bundesliga this season.
As for the trophy holder I still feel it will belong to Bayern but at the moment Dortmund are really very good and I am enjoying the competition that exists at the moment. The conditions are really good at least even though it's still a farm league for Bayern, but with Dortmund's condition now it's clear that there is still hope with the remaining games now.
Yeah, with current situation and form most chances Bayern Munich is the winner of this trophy, but we have 9 rounds left after this which are surely going to be had good entertainment for the fans with Bayern Munich is having Champions League challenge as well, but Borussia Dortmund is now having just one task which is Bundesliga title which also have big below after draw against Schalke in last round but in this game we will expect upsets so any poor result can bring good entertainment for the fans in this league.

Now, Bayern Munich is going to face Bayer Leverkusen at BayArena which is surely easy game for them but with the current form we can expect good resistance from the home side as Alonso is doing good job after taking this job and bring from relegation zone to 9th with place in Europa Cup quarter-final is also big achievement hopefully things could be tough for them teams in tomorrow match.
586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical gambling and internet gambling which is more fun. on: March 18, 2023, 09:28:23 PM
What are the age of the people that you ask? Because I think it has to do the with the age. Many old people still thinks that physical gambling are fun because this is where they growned up with but for us millennials and generation z, we think that online gambling is much better. Maybe not totally in the fun part because there are no live crowds in here but only about the convenience and then the graphics.

But if gambling with the main goal is to get big wins and profits, we have to use online casinos where there are lots of games or bets with very big profit opportunities. In fact, we can really use the advantages of playing at online casinos to help our economy or finances if you can play wisely and correctly.
Winning huge is also possible in offline gambling but whatever you pick, I think your winning chance is still going to be the same. There is still no guarantees that you can grab the big prizes that you see on your screen. If it's about helping the economy I think you can contribute better if you play on offline casinos because they are mostly legal and accredited by the government.
587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 18, 2023, 08:23:51 PM
Sri Lanka lost the first Test even though a good sore 355 & 302 and in the second Test 2 early wickets indicate defeat as the opposition New Zealand's score is huge. The Sri Lankan team is not able to do much good at the home ground of New Zealand. Nothing can stand in the way of a brilliant batting performance by the New Zealand batsmen. Williamson scored 215 and Henry Nicholls remained unbeaten on 200 in the second Test.
The first match was completely in favour of Sri Lanka and the match turned all of the sudden. The credit goes to Williamson who led the team at the critical situation scoring the required runs. It is kind of coincidence that New Zealand wins whenever Williamson perform good. Even in today's match he have scored 215 runs and Nicholls at 200* for which I believe this to be the winning match for New Zealand. Sri Lanka bowlers weren't able to break partnership easily. Just 4 wickets lost and New Zealand have declared the innings at 580 runs.
End of first match was completely nightmare for the Sri Lankans after having amazing start they lost the match in last over but here in second match things completely out of their way as New Zealand start is impressive and Kane Williamson after giving up from captaincy turn into amazing batsman have completed his 8000 runs as he is first kiwi player who achieved this milestone and also completed his double hundred have 580 runs on board after end of two days look like this is going to be another defeat for the Sri Lankans which are having 26 for 2 in reply so things looking completely down for them even any prediction is still not easy but most chances we will have big defeat for the visitors in this match after amazing stuff from Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls.
588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The journey of successful business man who were professional gamblers on: March 18, 2023, 06:31:10 PM
Gambling is a very profitable thing to engage in if done responsibly. Gambling has indeed made many men rich and it is still making even though most people are loosing in it. But I think that those that are making much money or already made much money from gambling are those who are favoured or those who never chased losses. It takes a lot of strategies to be a professional gambler. As a wise gambler, the moment you win big in gambling, the best thing to do at the moment is to use the money you won in gambling and invest. You can still be gambling but let it be that you have another source of income and an investment also.
To gamble responsibly means to gamble in a controlled manner. You won't gamble often or with huge amount so how can you be profitable this way? The only good thing that it can bring to you is you feel more stress free. You will feel entertained and you won't be minding your losses since they are not too much.

I think most gamblers doesn't put their won money in investments because their winnings are not that much. They will only use it again to gamble and entertain their self. It's hard to depend on gambling to make money and use that money outside gambling because there is a tendency that you will feel bad and possibly become an addict because you will always try to make a profit.
589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: March 18, 2023, 12:53:29 AM
When I look at the pairings, I see one match that can be called an early final and that is of course City vs Munich. Both teams were heavy favorites before the games started.
The matches are good in general and it is certain that we will watch matches with high viewing pleasure.I never even thought that I would watch an Italian derby in the quarterfinal matches in the Champions League.Milan-Napoli match is actually the side that will pass the round, but it will still be a good match.I think Napoli will comfortably pass the round.
There is no doubt about these both teams quality and performance in last few years in both domestic and UEFA competitions, but sadly both have no good record in last few years specially Manchester City which is looking for the first UEFA title in few years are more hungry, but luck never favor them so for me same going to happen again with them in this year because Bayern Munich is having much better quality and depth in their team even Haaland is also giving one man show performance for the Citizens but playing against Bavarians is never been easy for any team specially while you are dreaming for the first Champions League title like PSG.

After having this draw now I am feeling most chances we will have Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter and Napoli with Real Madrid vs Napoli in the final for this 2023 as well.
590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 17, 2023, 02:13:06 AM
There will be 2 more meetings between these two teams, in La Liga and in the Copa Del Rey. In the Copa Del Rey in the first leg Real Madrid had to lose at home alone with a score of 0-1, and that made their task even more difficult in the second leg later. Apart from them having to chase 1 goal on aggregate they will also play at home to Barcelona. But if they can win in this match their chances of becoming champions are very big.
I think Barcelona will win both of those games, and even though el classico is always different in a sense, it will not be too shocking this year. Barcelona is not in europa anymore whereas Real is still in UCL and that is the only reason. Have you seen how tired the players were by the end of the liverpool game?

Benzema basically hopping, even Vinicious, who is a fast player with a big lung, ended up not running  after the ball for the last minutes. Sure that could be because they knew they won, but they looked gassed a lot. I think this type of schedule will make them more and more tired, so Barcelona players will be more rested and be easily winning the game.
Xavi's strategy is working for them in La Liga and Copa del Rey which is surely their targets in this season and exit of Europa Cup is also now helping them because with this now their players are having normal schedule and which will helps them for having better performance but Real Madrid which is having injuries problems, and now they are facing big teams in three different leagues surely going to face problem in these all events with La Liga hopes already ended, and now they will be exited by Barcelona into their next match of Copa del Rey which is also going to in favour or Barcelona and El Clįsico derby is also coming which will create bigger difference between these teams in La Liga table but now all hopes alive just for the Champions League which is also looking not good but as they have love affair any prediction is not easy.
591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 16, 2023, 07:11:53 PM
You left out Newcastle United, who has two outstanding matches and is only six points behind Manchester United; if they win their two outstanding matches, they will have a chance to qualify for the Champions League ahead of Tottenham and Liverpool.
Newcastle United are a good team but I do not know if they are good enough to compete wtih Tottenham and Liverpool. I know they have games in hand and are behind Manchester United but they have the worst players and they have been playing worse then they were in the 1st half but I know what you are saying and I agree they could be a threat to the top 4 but I still think it will be out of Newcastle United, Tottenham and Liverpool for the 4th position. I think Manchester United are safe and Manchester City. Arsenal is going to win by a lot of points in my opinion.
Eddie Howe done good job in early part of this season and there were hopes about them to be stayed into top five spots, but their last 10 matches give them big below, and now they are fighting hard for staying into top fives spots which is looking not good because their performance is at the decline, and they are losing points consistently right now they are at fifth and have two matches in hand which can give them better spot above Tottenham if they are able to win, but their schedule is not easy as now they have few tough matches in coming weeks.

With Arsenal and Manchester City are having top ranks and Manchester United is good for the third spot but now for the remaining six spots we have three teams which will be fight and here Tottenham is surely favourite for the fourth, but any prediction is not easy while Liverpool is also going to challenge them, but things could be interested in last few matches.
592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Random Number Generator and it's importance in Online Casinos on: March 16, 2023, 04:08:15 PM
Did you see the one streaming session with the co-owner of Stake.com ..namely Eddie, where he used the Google random generator to pick winners and then one of the gamblers showed him that he can pick the next number, before it was ran on the random generator?

Yes, it is flawed.... if you know the first number that are drawn, so it is very important to "refresh" the page.. after each random number are drawn. The numbers are still random, but the next numbers can be pre-determined, if you continue without refreshing the page.  Roll Eyes

I still trust the RNG, but I also trusted Google random generator... and someone found a way to exploit it.  Roll Eyes
That was some serious accusations right there but are there any solid proofs about that gambler that what he was sayin is real and not just a way to bring down Stake? Because you know, he might be a loser and he can't accept this fact but after all, there are still people like you and others who continues their warm support on Stake.

They still believe that Stake is honest and as well as the Google Random Generator because man, that came from a reputable company and this was the reason why Eddie choose this than any other random generator out there. Refreshing the page right after every pick seems a bit hassle but maybe Eddie can consider this sometime, only to prove more that they are honest with their operations.
593  Economy / Speculation / Re: 26k mark finally breached on: March 16, 2023, 03:00:29 PM
I was very surprised that the price was able to break through the 25k mark so quickly. Last time it looked like 25k is a hard limit to break. Well, now we're scratching at 26k. It's kind of unbelievable how quickly prices have changed in the last few weeks. It is currently difficult to say whether the price can be maintained in the long term. I am and remain skeptical about the current price increase and hope it is not just a brief price flare-up that then quickly dries up.  Smiley
This price hike is due to the unstable situation in the world. It is even strange, because of the crisis and the key rate hike all markets have fallen. Now that the collapse has reached the banking system, cryptocurrency is starting to feel good. Hopefully this trend will continue. But I have concerns that this could be a dead cat bounce, although we are above 25k and that is an important level.
Indeed it's strange and it's truly surprising because usually when there is a condition like that, all markets would have been dropping hard. The banking system are collapsing and maybe people realize that it's more safer to store money in Bitcoin or in cryptos because they have no central authority and this might be one the reason why their prices are increasing.

Bank runs do also cause a negative effect in the stablecoins here in cryptos and maybe people are fleeing on them, converting their money back on a much trusted crypto. Checking the price right now, it had dropped up to 23.8k levels and slowly recovering toward $25k levels which means this is not a deadcat's bounce.

Chelsea have improved in their last few games, giving hope to fans who had previously lost faith in the club. I also wanted the coach to resign or be fired when the team was struggling to score goals and win games. Thank God, his ass has being saved as a result of the squad's improvement. The team's management and fans are hoping for continuous improvement from the team before the end of the season.
Chelsea have good performance after winning last three games, seems the winning trend keep going on up coming next games against Everton, but still can't guarantee looking Chelsea's standing position right now still drop on 10th placed. Not close yet with Chelsea chance back to top fourth standing position in this season depending will consistency performance or not for several games left?

Everton opponent is not difficult for Chelsea because have poor performance in last 5 games with 2 won of 2 games and got two loss and one draw. Everton position still not securing from relegation zone due one point left from Bournemouth.
Winning last three games specially big game against Borussia Dortmund is going to be positive development for this club after the worst time in last two months as they were not able to win any game but management's faith in Graham Potter now giving them good results hopefully things could be positive now for them in Premier League because right now they are at 10th, and they need to be nearly 6th or 7th until end of this season could be positive because they are not near to have support at top 5 with all teams are doing good job and have better quality and performance as well, but now their new strategy is working for them, and they can change the attitude of club which was not good fans were also not happy but now hopefully in next few weeks things could be on their better way for the all parties.
595  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why Beginners Should Not Go For Future Trading? on: March 15, 2023, 09:29:49 PM
As a beginner, you should just start with spot trading, if you want to jump into future trading, then you might endup losing all your money, beginnings are just after the high profits that's in future trading and most of them are been brainwashed, they don't think about the risk, if you join cryptocurrency because you are looking for fast money, then you might endup losing all your money.

When I started trading, i started trading on spot, then later I discovered future, I tried it and I noticed I was making enough money, I sold all the coins I bought on spot trading and I moved all my money to future trading, I started trading on futures and I was using high laverage, the funniest part is that I lost all the money which I started trading with, then I discovered that future trading wasn't for me and I quited.
He will end up losing all of his money, that is if he put it all but what if he only started with tiny amounts? Losing this won't be hard to accept plus he can learn and continue to improve his trades up to the point that he will master it and that would be the time for him to increase the amount that he is using.

I don't think all beginners are only in for the money but some of them are only curious on how it works and how it's done. They think it's cool if they can learn it due to its difficulty. In your case, futures trading might be for you because you managed to earn a decent income before. Your only mistake is you got greedy and that is why you lose a huge amount.
596  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will (probably) go lower. on: March 15, 2023, 05:19:19 PM
Just four days ago the value of Bitcoin was around 20k$ more, but just yesterday bitcoin was around 21k$ more and now it suddenly pumped 24800$.

     The volatility of bitcoin is really different, we don't know that anytime it can attack an increase or decrease in the market. I'm sure many bitcoin holders are happy with this event.
I believe no one could have predicted what happened in the last 4 days, it was too sudden for all of us. Although bitcoin price prediction is an integral part of investing in it, but so far, I can say that it rarely works in the short term. Investing in bitcoin should not wait until bitcoin bottoms out, when bitcoin will drop more because no one can know about it. If we want to invest, buy when possible, especially during the bear season when bitcoin has dropped significantly against ATH. Just hold long, bitcoin will never let us down.
True. If there are movement that everyone is expecting, that will be a more downfall in the price because Mt.gox is said to released those old BTC to its creditors. IDK if what is the update about it. Is it done already or not? But if not then this might still threaten us in the long run so people must not be really happy right now.

There's no problem for those who are trading and short term investors because they can sell now and then wait again for a dump to buy another set of BTC. I once said that short term prediction is more accurate than in long term but it seems that I am wrong and you are right, and this scenario that we see lately is a proof to that.
597  Economy / Economics / Re: less risk or big profit? on: March 15, 2023, 04:32:40 PM
All types of investments always have the same trend, for example if we want big profits then the risk is also big, conversely if we want small risks then don't ever think you can make big profits, the presence of cryptocurrencies is a good thing because you can manage finances or investments according to our expectations, If previously we relied on banks, with cryptocurrencies all intermediary functions are gone and we are in full control.
The only thing is that if you go on big risk and big rewards is that you need to gain more knowledge of it. Meaning most people are going to this and they are trying to lower the risk by gauging knowledge and preventing losses. It is like trading the risk are big but you can lessen them if you know how to read the chart and you have your own strategy that is why people wants big risk and reward but there are still people who prefer to those low risk and be contented with them.
To gain more knowledge is not easy but it takes a lot of struggles and time. A lot of people didn't want to experience it but they want to earn big rewards, this is why they engage on the activity immediately. Other than gaining knowledge, we can also place smaller amounts so that the risk that we will get is only small.

Some people are contented with this already because for them, they only treat trading as a side hustle and they still have their own job outside the crypto which gives them stable income. Only those who made trading as a full time jobs are the ones who try harder to support the fancy lifestyle that they want or to give their family a better life.

OP is being truthful and being bold enough to share his own experience with us, what about others who can't even be proud of their actions or take responsibility for it, the mistakes we made were meant for others to learn from innother for them not to fall a victim as we did, but honestly gamblers have alot to say when it's comes to gambling experience and you will be so surprised hearing from others view in this.
The good thing I like about her is she didn't take the money that is being offered to her in exchange for the tips when she can easily do that. She will only say that she is not perfect and some of the tips that she gives still can fail. Others out there are only proud of their winning moments.

I think those guys only wants to show off or possibly want to make money from other naive bettors. Mistakes of others does not always mean or can served as a lesson to others because those people can still learn with their mistakes. Gambling is about winning and losing. The stories that we hear pertaining to it are almost the same but only differs from the amount that is involved.
599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is for the strong. on: March 15, 2023, 01:49:40 PM
Gambling destroys people slowly. People who are addicted to gambling can never live a normal life. Maybe they win a bet or two but lose most bets. I have seen people around me who indulge in gambling never lead their lives well. In fact, no matter how much money you have, gambling will quickly lead you to ruin. So as much as possible a person should be controlled from this gambling addiction. Even if you have an addiction, it should be limited and not taken to high levels.
It will only destroy you if you are a weak kind of person and you will easily fall for the bad side of gambling but if you are strong you will not fall for them and only use gambling to improve your life. If one is addicted in gambling living a normal life is difficult. They can't focus on other important things in life or worse is they are not doing it anymore but it is possible for it to be treated.

There is a thread here last time about gambling test. it helps us know if we are becoming an addict already or not. We need to take that so that we can take immediate actions before our symptoms gets worse and it is now hard for us to get out of our addiction. I found the thread and here is the direct link to that test: https://www.psycom.net/gambling-addiction-test.
600  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [POLL] Will BNB crash? Will Binance go bankrupt? on: March 14, 2023, 09:29:05 PM
I don't think so, there are many factors that have kept Binance afloat in difficult times and a lot of fud that has occurred on social media. One of the factors is that Binance is still surviving, it is the biggest Biance Exchange in the world, many people still trust Binance.
yes, just recently there was a lot of criticism on the web about the work of the exchange but everything turned out to be just rumors without confirmation.But at the same time, the staff of the exchange has only increased and binance is hiring more employees for other departments,which is a good sign.
I think those are just haters who are trying to bring Binance down. They are too jealous of what the exchange is achieving right now but Binance deserved it because they work hard. They don't just receive it in an instant. This is the thing that those people forget to realize.

It's normal for any company to remove some of their employees because the world might be facing a recession these days and even big companies like meta (former facebook) have laid off thousands of employees but the opposite is only happening to Binance because like you said they are only hiring more workers to help them in their operations. It's a sign that their company still continues to grow despite of an economic downturn.
