I think I've seen a number of places already doing this. Impossible to keep up though since there's a new one every day, along with those Bitcoin death forecasts as well!

Might as well just follow in the Speculation Wall and see all those marks they keep already, better than random influencer or specialist trader predictions IMO!!

Supply problem is not a problem though actually but the very design of Bitcoin protocol, as far as I understood. Everything has so far worked as well as Satoshi ever predicted so this is really how it all works miners rewards, block rewards, fees, everything. Just as he imagined and just as the economy is working it out:)

I clocked up almost 20,000 lottery tickets just from the Wheel of fortune spins last week.   I topped it up more so it was over 20k but was quite an impressive haul just on free spins, of course I still need the actual good luck to take home the bacon but I presume if it happens once it'll be a nice bonus in future also.

That is pretty sick STT not bad! I think there was also a round I got over 10k from two big hits on WOF but this was a little while before the price of Bitcoin made it only 3600 tickets on the big spin.

My own record for lottery tickets is over 200k but that was all from wager. Scary to wager so much these days but 5x RP rewards coming;)

I do freelance work, I do affiliate network, I trade, I invest, and all of that helped me get richer than I could by working at an office job. By all means I am not a rich person, but I am making more money than I could from a regular office job that I used to work for and that is why I think it is quite obvious that we should not be caring about people who write stuff like these, they are totally wrong because holding and trading is great for bitcoin, even today when it is so high.

Nice job!

I just hodl really, it's all I can do, and earning small amounts from some forum presence here, I've been doing it for years. It's not much but I put effort in it, and am very happy that I can save most of it so over the years, it grows. $40 just a year ago is worth more than $400 now. That is what I look forward to also earning $30 now and in ten years seeing it grow.

5806  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie traders - Learn from my mistakes on: March 27, 2021, 12:03:47 PM
Indeed, newcomers to trading are generally prone to lose, because knowledge and experience are needed to trade successfully. But I know for sure that some of the newbies do not want to learn and listen to recommendations. I have already come across such people and unfortunately saw personally how they ignore advice and recommendations and just go to trade without experience in the hope that they will just get lucky. Trading is a serious process and it must be approached with full responsibility and only then there is a chance of success.

Nah not really. Veteran traders are known to lose money after a good run too, usually it's all about making 99 good trades and then making 1 bad decision in a really bad month and then it topples over in a series of trying to play catch up and throwing all trading logic and rules out the window.

The best traders I think are very realistic about being able to withstand losses and just making the best in a rally.

It does seem like it's pretty difficult to choose these last 16 teams here, and I wonder if now is the time to go for all the favorites and choose the unlikely over/under but I saw for the odds most of it is tight anyway so I went instead for half favorites and half not-so-favorites, and choose Under/Over sort of randomly on my sight of how big the total number was;)

Loyola - Oregon State -> 1 + over
Baylor - Villanova -> 1 + under
Arkansas- Oral Roberts -> 1 + under
Houston - Syracuse -> 1 + under
Gonzaga - Creighton -> 1 + under
Michigan - Florida -> 2 + under
Alabama - UCLA -> 1 + under
USC - Oregon -> 2 + under

Before the market could have demand, there should be trust first, trust is everything in Cryptocurrency, you are buying because of the trust, so far Bitcoin and other top Cryptocurrency are enjoying the trust from investors and traders and, that is why Bitcoin is setting up new all-time high records one after the other.

Trust only in the network and the code that secures it, not trust in anything else like the project's intentions (which if you actually believe is not for profit then you probably deserve to get scammed).

Trust not in the words and hopes of others who tell you you will get rich.

Trust in Bitcoin being secure for a long time and even more so in the future.
5809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A quick thought on how to help/save bitcoin. on: March 27, 2021, 08:36:47 AM
How on earth does this save Bitcoin? And why does it need saving? And if we all go and Tweet about it and it works, then it means Bitcoin can be manipulated by everyone like Gamestop stocks. That would actually prove Bitcoin's decentralization is wrong and so we would all end up hurting Bitcoin in the end anyway, don't you think?
5810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there sportsbooks that offer flipped odds? on: March 27, 2021, 08:00:28 AM
I'm really not sure what you're talking about because flipping odds to me just seems like betting against. In which case you just instead of betting $1000 on 1.1x you bet $100 on 10x on a 1x2 market.

OR is there something I'm missing out here?

Arbitrage is very common for sure. You bet early and bet late usually but then you have to understand the sentiment swing.
5811  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Big chance to buy BNB coin with cheap price. CLICK HERE!!! on: March 26, 2021, 06:36:30 PM
BNB now at $250. I am actually, god forbid me, thinking to buy maybe 0.1 BNB or something just to try out a couple of things on BSC. I hate going into NFTs so late but saw quite a few cute things on Lilmoonrockets. Anyone know if that's worth it? Floor is 0.1BNB now so I might just get the cheapest one at floor.
5812  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Binance Savings on: March 26, 2021, 05:09:41 PM
Not really so keen to try it but on Binance Smart Chain I see some of the pools with almost 10% APY using wrapped Bitcoin. So from what I understand you just wrap you Bitcoin (so you still have it) and then pair it with another type of stablecoin like BUSD and then you get the APY within a year.

Feels safe to me, can anyone explain the catch?
5813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 26, 2021, 03:45:40 PM
I know all the reasons you stated above, but I think improving the player quality on the team is still the priority of Real Madrid. Moreover, it is quite urgent for the Real Madrid squad if they still want to be competitive in the next season. In this matter, I am optimistic that Real Madrid will consider buying a top striker for the next season. Well, I am not saying it is a must to buy Haaland or Mbappe, Real Madrid has many other options!

Quality and potential quality. Which unfortunately means an age average. I'm not a huge fan of Haaland for example but I agree talent his age needs to be brought on to be turned into quality. I'm happy we have young guys in Barca like Fati and well, even Braithwaite, but we really need to be able to turn them into quality. So I agree quality but below 25 must be a strong foundation too.
5814  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: This is why you DON'T want go short now 84% of the bearish options has wiped out on: March 26, 2021, 03:00:23 PM
I think we might get something similar to what happened last month when the options expired. It also had tons of open interest. 2 Days after the February expiry we bottom and proceeded to make a new ATH. In January similar situation, we bottom a few days after the options expired.

Dec 2020 doesn't really apply here because we were on a constant uptrend in those days, BTC kept going up and up before and after expiry so it had no effect. So I am assuming we get something similar this time around. Most likely we will recover in April, make new ATH in mid April and start to go back down at the end of April.

Does it matter what kind of price the options were at or is it just the volume of options. And was this also the same situation in the crypto winter in 2018 and 2019? Or were options expiry not yet a thing at that point?

Curious to know because if it becomes predictable then surely there is some way people make money here around options dates.
5815  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Biggest Bitcoin Whale Accounts Accumulating BTC, Says Crypto Analytics Firm on: March 26, 2021, 01:46:20 PM
Theoretically, according to the past BTC cycles, an ATH is to be expected. So if we think strictly about the past and expectations, whales may be accumulating for the expected new high.

What if they are not just wallets but exchange or online crypto casino cold wallets?
I personally find analysis of rich wallet no conclusive enough to classify the wallets as ones owned by whales
And it's scary to know that as a whale of BTC, literally everyone in the world could check out how much money you own and where it's going.

Which is why the really anon whales probably just sell private keys or some kind of secure storage with parts of private keys and just change custody with OTC brokers. Or that's how I imagine it actually I don't even know if that's what they do.

Or are they really just doing everything with offline agreements now? How do people keep anon being whales?
5816  Economy / Speculation / Re: 3 reasons why BTC will unlikely trade below $50,000 in the near term on: March 26, 2021, 12:06:42 PM
Phew, I saw that we almost took 50k support away in the past 24 hours. Not that we still will not, but it does look like the bears and sellers are trying really hard and we can only see this level of dip? Not 20% dip many people are talking about yet so it seems like a good position to be in on Friday!
5817  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some people stop their crypto project? on: March 26, 2021, 10:57:25 AM
The thing is, most of these projects do not come from an idea of "lets improve upon the world", bitcoin was like that, it was created because satoshi nakamoto saw a big gap in the world of finance and created the perfect currency, it wasn't supposed to be even like this, it suppose to be a currency that people spend everywhere, that is the ideal point it should reach, whereas we are in a world where people buy and hold it (I do too) to make more money.

Most? I would say all actually, with the exception of very very few. I think people trying to improve the world are few and crypto, really isn't filled with such people. Even I would admit if I did a project it wouldn't be to change the world or make it better, it would be to profit from it. Projects don't want to admit that but they really should.
5818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: March 26, 2021, 10:20:06 AM
@slaman29 this is an excellent chance for these 3 to step up their game, and show to the world that they’re ready to replace the big 3. Also I’m spoiled for choices as all 3 player’s look good, but I personally feel that Zverev has a good chance and then followed by Medvedev.

Some mid table favorites went out yesterday including Anderson and Chardy, so yeah definitely looks better and better every day that passes and the big 3 will be eyeing all the later rounds to see who they might have to meet up in the next Grand Slam.

Still haven't decided to take any outcome yet:) Good luck to you!
5819  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Meeting about Bitcoin and inviting people to it on: March 26, 2021, 06:52:36 AM
I'm so F***ing done to introduce people about crypto.

Since 2017 i try to talk to my familly and my friends about this and they just don't care about what i'm talking they said bitcoin is looks like ponzi scheme or etc.

And when the price of bitcoin has reached more than $30k most of them come back to me and asking me about bitcoin and how to invest on this sector. LOL

LOL haha but hey as I was saying above, I think you really need to teach people about basic money and economics first before you teach them about Bitcoin. Not that I think anyone should be teaching anyone, but like for kids for example or younger siblings and cousins especially, I think we really need to open their eyes as ours were open to the current system and how wrong it was

^ Did you calculate if you won a lot more betting here than if you bet on straight odds at another bookie? Very curious to see if people would earn more here if they found a way to bet early (to get close to max multiplier). Personally I have bet but the eventual odds have not been so good but then I always go for the favorite in general and maybe that affects the outcome?
