581  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it easier to HODL if you are already rich? on: August 08, 2021, 10:27:17 PM
If you are already rich it is easy to hold because there are opportunities for income from other fields so holding on to them in the long run will not be a problem but for those who are low income traders it is difficult to hold because holding is to hold a certain amount of time. If you sell before that you don't get profit and you lose it will be difficult to make a living if a lot of time is needed. That is why it is a good idea for them to trade every day therefore, it is possible to meet the needs of one's own family.

If you have other means to survive, definitely holding will come easier to you. As compared to crypto user who is depending from his profits to buy food for the table. Because in this case, he can easily sell his coin at a loss if badly needs it. Lucky for those who are rich as they can also plan when to sell it. Of course, the aim here is to gain large profits. That's why you can see some people holding their coins for years without touching it. But you need to make sure that coin is valuable like bitcoin. It is hard to hold other alts in long term because they tend to lose its value and be abandoned by its devs.
582  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DAO] ccFOUND (FOUND) - The First Worldwide Wisdom Marketplace on: August 08, 2021, 09:30:48 PM
CCFound allows everyone with a certain skill/knowledge to earn rewards and additional income from their expertise. I like the idea of this project, it's just that the token sale time takes a long time.
What about the rewards that users earn (experts/ebook creators, etc.)? Was it decided by CCfound or by themselves?

I think the creators will set or its own price on the marketplace and "we" the users can reward the creators with CCfound token if we are happy with the content and creators can also rewards its followers, i think that was the idea.

Curious how they will perform in the market once they fully launched their platform?

But the current auctions ends in about 6 hours and they haven't sold the half of their 1.29B coins that are up for sale. Will this be a determinant factor how they will move forward? Can they really implement this kind of platform even if it is not attracting interest from investors?
583  Economy / Economics / Re: Why would people ever use bitcoin if its expected to always go up? on: August 08, 2021, 05:47:53 AM
Situation. That's the main reason why people are using it for things that they need. If the person who holds bitcoin is in good situation and doesn't have to think of spending and selling his bitcoin, he'll be ending up holding it for long and there's no doubt with it.

But even if a person holds bitcoin, time will come that he has to sell it for such serious situation that he has no choice but to sell it at any price just because the situation permits.

That's actually true. Every person here has their own needs and reasons why they are into crypto. Also, at some point even long time holders will sell if they see that the price is quite attractive for them. And a lot of us here are also waiting for the good timing in the market to sell some of our stash. Not many people can afford to hold long term as a lot of us here has needs to address especially during this pandemic. And besides, if everyone here is expected to hold long term, the supply and demand in the market will not be good.
584  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this another Ethereum season on: August 07, 2021, 11:28:15 PM
What do you think, BTC rally also pushing to new ATH?
Bitcoin break the resistance point around 42k and i do believe bitcoin will be making another new ATH again. if we are seeing the whole chart and bitcoin looks very bullish at this moment.
Ethereum willl be only following the direction that will be made by bitcoin. When bitcoin can continue to go up and it's not even impossible to see another ATH for ethereum.
BTC can push another ATH when there will be another good news rolling out to the market especially for the whale that can push community to FOMO

As we are seeing the price of eth right now, it is now above 3k, high likely that it will hit 4k very soon if the btc market continue to go up. And if there will be gas fee reduction, it may further affect the price of eth in the market. Couple of weeks from now, let's see what will happen to crypto market. Sometimes, there are so many surprises here that you will regret the chance that you should have bought the coin.
585  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there a pattern when there is a dump like this? on: August 06, 2021, 11:40:50 PM
No pattern.

Technical Analysis certainly doesn't work when there are more important macro trends in play that are simply not accounted for. There is a reason why TA is sometimes dubbed astrology for men.

People said that $40k was the bottom and won't be broken through - until it wasn't. They said that everything was pointing towards $32k being the ultimate resistance - until it wasn't. Looking for patterns in the charts is merely wishful thinking.
They should treat and act differently here on crypto rather than forcing itself to follow on what technical indicators been showing just like on typical forex market where patterns could possibly be known.

Its not something similar to forex and stocks where technicals do usually bite and cryptocurrency market is totally different into that manner.It doesnt really obey any technicals or even fundamentals
and that what makes it hard to predict even if you do saw that your analysis is really good.

We can presume but we cant make out guarantees if it would work because the price could only be having 3 different path neither going up or down or going midways.
As a trader or investor then you should at least know the basics on how these thing works and able to realize whats reality and whats not.

And each coin or token has their own performance in the market. So if you are a holder of a coin, you should keep up yourself with the updates surrounding that coin. Because you can't say, that it will follow the btc trend because it is not. It is how the coin is being developed and promoted in the market, aside from the actual use case it is being advertised at.
Every project here is different so it is up to you to do your own research to learn about its possible route in the market.
586  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance squeezes users on verification on: August 05, 2021, 10:47:32 PM
It just likes the saying "Not your node, not your rule". Binance is more like a Centralized exchange right from the beginning but the recent requests form from different country's regulations authorities are what causes their decrease in the withdrawal limit of non-verified accounts so they also don't have any choice.
The upgraded verification message was sent to all Binance members who are yet to verify her account and I don't see any reason why it will make Binance lose its fan base.

They have strong platform so I also don't think they will lose their customer base. Their offering of SAFU alone will give their traders peace of mind when it comes to their funds especially those who are staking or putting their money in locked/flexible savings. I don't think a lot of people can maximize their daily withdrawal limit, if in case they don't want to complete their KYC. But if you really a big timer, their KYC approval is relatively fast than other trading platforms.

It was a really close game, but it looks like Doncic had a bad performance during this match, considering that he scored only 5 out of 18 field goals. Anyway, congrats to everyone who bet on France to win this match. So France and the USA are in the final, and I guess the USA will win gold medals again.

That was really close. Betted on Slovenia here, no hard feelings though as I only betted small. More than likely, the odds for USA is very low so don't know if it will be worth to bet on them. Let us see what odds will be given to France by bookies. If you are a risk taker, you can bet on France, who knows for some reason, they will beat USA?  Wink
588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The houses always win, are you the house or the gambler? on: August 04, 2021, 11:59:55 PM
Using the term "idiot" for those who are risking their money in gambling is way below the belt. You can't blame them and call them "idiot" for making a choice to know the result, that's part of our lives, making choices. It's better to risk than doing nothing at all while keep on thinking what might happen.

But it has a consequence of course. Pushing yourself too far just to make money in gambling will lead you to addiction that will make gambling even more harder than your first time doing it.
Anything that do exceed into your limit can really be called idiots or fools that do let themselves fall into the pit of addiction and false hope that they could make theirselves rich with gambling.
House do always win in the end even though there are times which some people could really make some negative profit in the house when they won big but in long term process as people
would continue to play then profits or revenue wont really be that a problem.They wouldnt last that long if they werent really making sufficient profits.
So its up to someone to have that kind of limitation when it comes to finances.

And sadly, many fall on that category, because a lot of them are hoping that they will hit the jackpot and go home big. But if you know your limitations when it comes to gambling, then, your family is lucky. A lot of families are being ruined owed to gambling. So before anything in your life is ruined by gambling, change your lifestyle before it is too late. House has always the advantage and only few can get lucky in this game. One should remember the reasons why they are into this industry.
589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It takes years to build a reputation and seconds to break it on: August 04, 2021, 11:19:35 PM
I've been listening to a podcast about online casino scam and they said outright scam (rogue casino) is getting less frequent these days. Nowadays, it's more about soft scam when the casino trick users without they realize. For example, registration bonus, or any type bonus with complicated requirement. Pending withdrawal so that impatient user will play and got busted (instead of withdrawing the money), etc.

I've tasted this soft scam and yeah, I don't trust the casino after that incident.

This is one of the reasons why they delay the withdrawal by asking too many requirements they know that the player will take a chance while waiting for their requirement to get approve, so they will not get reported scamming you and not letting you withdraw because in the first place there's no funds to withdraw, the best action is to not use that funds or do not play at all until they resolve the issue if they will not let you withdraw or takes a lot of time to decide your issue then they will be reported as a scam site.

And you will be screwed if you forgot to read their ToS, and you will find out that you are not complying one of their conditions. That's when they can get advantage of you. So before playing big, make sure to read their terms especially those that are important requirements before withdrawal. Also, from time to time, read their terms as sometimes they update without informing their players.

I'm surprised to see this thread is bumped with the new updates after more than 7 months without any activity in this thread.
Where have you been during the last 7 months? I thought you have left this forum and would not come back.
Next question, will you be inactive again and you will come back to bump your ANN thread when you have just made updates on your site only?
its better to see them comeback with a big good news than seeing them bumped the thread without any news whatsoever but they should give a notice if they will be inactive and what is the reason for doing so  ,
 also they should state a date if when will they comeback so that people here have an idea .
reading his previous replies i feel that he will rarely respond to us and he will become inactive again for sometime and maybe comeback only to share the new update

They should be consistent in updating their thread. I mean, if they have no major updates, at least make the community feel that they are still active and operational. Because once the thread goes silent, players will not play on their site for the fear that their funds will be trapped and no one can help them. But it is good to hear that they are still alive and still doing some progress. Maybe, once they established those changes and confident about the services of their site, they should be more visible here, throw some contests or rewards.
591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Olympics 2020/2021 : Discussion & Predictions on: August 04, 2021, 01:12:56 PM
China continues to lead the medal tally and the difference from USA is quite far by almost 10 gold medals, it seems that this time it will be China who will take first place, the bettors who chose USA may have started making new bets on China, unfortunately there is no such bet available in the sportsbook where I bet
source.

We still have 4 days to go, although, major competition had taken place. China had always been arch rival at Olympic with USA, if they take a better position this time they deserve it. US will do everything to review the reason for the fall in position and I think the pandemic might also be responsible.

Why not try the futuur.com - https://futuur.com/q/category/2738/tokyo-olympics

Just some examples of their items under Tokyo Oympics - (also they have relatively good list of payment methods - btc, bch, doge, eth, trx, ltc, usdc)




Just alternative, because there is no direct item saying - Who will win the most number of golds - USA vs. China?
592  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔮 Futuur - Predict the Future! 🔮 on: August 04, 2021, 12:02:07 PM
But wondering why futuur team is not very active even on their social media?
The last tweet was Feb 23, considering that they need to promote during this Tokyo Olympics.
Also, even mentioning about the additional alts as their payment method.
This is the primary reason why many gamblers including me felt that this site is suffering from losses and will probably shut down soon, but that clearly wasn't the case. I found out about the altcoins update thanks to some of the recent posts in this thread.

Their inactivity on social media channels is definitely affecting them in a bad way though in my opinion.
I don't think that they are facing losses because they have just updated their site accepting other currencies and this is one great move reaching players here.

and also they maybe silent because they are cooking more good updates and will come out with new brand and events.

Their marketing guys are not doing a very good promotion to their site. They can generate good income this Olympics, but, sad to say it is almost at the end of this event and we haven't seen them promote during this season. Now, I am curious how many people are working on this platform? Maybe only few individuals, and they don't have much time in advertising their site, which will be a big factor in attracting new players.
593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 💰 Summer Tokyo 2020 💰 Discussion and bet thread 💰 Summer Game 💰 on: August 04, 2021, 05:10:10 AM
history was made with second gold for Italy, and also by sharing gold medal between Italian and Qatari in high jumping, memorable scene, congrats to Italy

A lot of hype has been generated in the social media regarding this incident. The left-wing posters claims that the Qatari did something very ethical and offered to share the gold that was due to him to the "injured" Italian. But facts prove that they are wrong. Both had one attempt left, and it was the Qatari athlete who first refused another attempt (both of them had failed to clear 2.39m on three occasions). He refused one attempt, where he had around 1% chance of clearing, and then the media suddenly overhyped it claiming that it was a monstrous act of generosity.  Grin 

We can't avoid such media hype because sometimes they mislead the audience from facts. But if you know the sports and you are closely following the event, you will understand that it is not what the media portrays. Anyway, I am grateful that despite the troubles brought by covid pandemic, this olympics event is about to finish. Many athletes have gotten their first gold even first gold for countries like Philippines.
594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: ANN | $KSHIB | 🔥 Kaiken Shiba Official Thread 🔥 on: August 03, 2021, 11:47:53 PM
I 😘 love meme tokens, they are good for those seeking for quick profits like myself.
I've bought some Kshib on pancakeswap already, I hope I get some quick profits some and not rugged Smiley
Maybe you're right, if I see based on the chart, indeed a good opportunity to make a profit, but not for everyone, maybe you are lucky, but others are not.
We don't know how the chart will turn out, but so far the red is deeper than the green. https://poocoin.app/tokens/0x11c0c93035d1302083eb09841042cfa582839a8c

When it comes to meme tokens, better sell it while you are still in profit. Because you don't know their lifespan in this market. It can go down anytime as they have no solid foundation to begin with. They are just riding the hype attaching popular names to their name. Very rare that someone will get lucky as their increase in value is not a guarantee. Keep up with their progress as they may potentially abandon the platform without any warning.
595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Weekly/monthly financial statements, which do you prefer? on: August 03, 2021, 11:03:43 PM
This is related to money management, right/
Well, actually, better money management, better life.
If we don't have any money management at least monthly, we will not know how much or much we have spent the money and also how much we have getting profits.
One of the aims of money management is to help us to manage and control ourselves in spending money, targeting the next step, and also in using the money for everything.
It will also give a chance for us to avoid being additiocn.

Since casinos are not giving any weekly or monthly summary of player's statements, I think it is the player's responsibility to take care of his financials. You can always check your deposit or withdrawal history in their site. So basically, you know how much you are spending here. So if you want to take care of your own business when it comes to gambling, you will be the one summarizing your expenses when it comes to this activity.
596  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The more popular Bitcoin is, the more valuable it is? on: August 03, 2021, 09:53:05 PM
...
If conditions permit, I would be happy to use Bitcoin for daily payments, but some people have said that they will not sell their own Bitcoins and have been waiting for the price of Bitcoin to rise.
Do you think Bitcoin will be devalued in the future?
devaluation is usually synonymous with fiat, so I don't think it will apply to Bitcoin...

bitcoin is a decentralized coin so price changes only occur when buying or selling increases, the government will not be able to manipulate the price so devaluation is impossible. Bitcoin is perfect and far from government interference.

This is one of the benefits when you are dealing with bitcoin, no single government has the full control of its circulation and no one will. So the market movement depends on the global demand and not only on single entity. No government can manipulate the price of bitcoin, and we are seeing that a lot of factors are contributing to this market, the reason why even if you are a long time crypto user, it is still hard to predict the price. Even those self-proclaimed experts, they can't get the right price.
597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: signs of gambling addiction on: August 02, 2021, 11:58:53 PM
Theres two main costs to gambling, money and time.   Set a budget for both or either and you will likely avoid drifting into some habit that is uncontrolled.   If not especially disciplined to do either limitation then keep your bets small and varied rather then big bet on outcomes hoping for a pay off.  The best betting is regular and planned over time, avoid drinking while betting or while drunk is also advisable as that would throw the plan out the window.    Best rule overall is just have a set budget, only bet upto that point and resolve to come back another day not every game will be won.  

Those are disciplined gamblers. Unfortunately, a lot are degenerate. They don't know when to stop because they are following their desires. I guess that's really hard if you are too deep in gambling. That is why, before you become one, make sure that you are still keeping track your gambling activities and self-control. Because once you break your habit, and got too deep in gambling, that's when you will have more troubles and getting out would be a challenge.

By now, people should know the true nature of signal groups. Only newbies fall on their scamming techniques. If you want to check how they do it, better join first in free signal groups. Because you will understand how they are screwing their followers. Instead of joining them, why not enrich yourselves with trading tricks by studying the coins you want to trade with. Only experience can give you solid insights in this trading market.

600  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin solve the world's debt problem on: August 02, 2021, 09:30:08 PM
It won't solve the debt problem of the entire world, but it has got the ability to solve the debt problem of countries. This means the country that adopts the usage of bitcoin will be benefited good out of it.

Bulgaria is the country that holds more number of bitcoins. The volume of bitcoin holding is found high than that of the gold reserve. It was said that Bulgaria can go debt free if it's entire bitcoin holdings were used. Now the worth of its holdings might've grown much high.

Didn't know about Bulgaria's bitcoin stash til now. So I searched how many bitcoins they have - https://www.coininsider.com/bulgarian-government-owns-3-billion-usd-bitcoin/. They have about 213,519 bitcoins in possession coming from their criminal busts. That's not bad at all. With the value of btc today, truly, that will be a very good asset if in case they decide to use it to pay their debts. However, we don't know their plans with their seized bitcoins.
