I just want to join paid crypto trading group..anyone pls tell me ,this type of group doing scam or not? and does it work?
There’s a lot of free signal on twitter which is more effective based on their past analysis. Once you got the signal, you still have to analyze it for your own benefit so I don’t suggest to fully depend on any trading signal because that’s risky. If you’re willing to paid for any signal, better to use it for you to learn and analyze on your own.

Indeed. We don't know if that signal from other people can be right or they get the signal from others and share it on their social media. Whenever you get the signal from many sources, you must analyze it to find the truth because if you use it for trading, you don't know if that will give you a chance to make a profit. Analyzing more from the signal is the recommended thing that you must do after you got it. But I do not suggest paying for that signal because that is not worth it for you to trade. You can analyze by yourself, and what you need to do is believe in your skills. Make it as your lesson if you can't make a profit to increase your skills to better.

Don't know how many of them access to their address in those few thousands person. I can read articles related to people forget or lost their private keys because they never thought that Bitcoin will raise to millions someday which they bought for few dollars or even for free.

Even if they can access their bitcoin wallet address, they will not say to other people because the bitcoin price is too high. And if they tell how many bitcoins they have, that can invite the bad people to steal his bitcoin. With the price now, people who have bitcoin for a long time can celebrate their victory by holding it for more than 1 years. They can now sell some part, but they can also hold for more years, especially if they have a target price to sell. But for the trader, I think they will still try to trade to earn more bitcoin because they want to become new whales with so many bitcoin in their wallet.
Bitcoins cannot be stolen unless the owner make a mistake like exposing the private keys to the intruders, well they are already holding it for years and surely they know the benefits of holding more than anyone so they will choose what the right thing is to do and in my opinion most of them will continue to hold or wait for the dump to buy again cheaper.

The folks who have held this long have done so because they didn’t try to sell and buy back cheaper. If they had, they would have never been able to buy back in. Many a “what if” stories start with the premise of getting into Bitcoin early only to sell at a big gain hoping to buy back cheaper and get rich, which never occurred. In fact, it’s that attempting to trade for riches that kept them from reaching their goal...

Perhaps, they want to hold for more and don't sell at a price now because they expect to see the price can be more than $100k, so they will sell a small amount. If the price really touches $100k, which I am sure will happen in the future, they will make a lot of money from that. If I were one of those people, I will sell it at $58k for 1 bitcoin and keep it the rest for the next high price because my profit will be bigger. But they can buy back bitcoin at drips that will always come to the market so that they can have more bitcoin than before.

Perhaps, leaving 100 bitcoin in the wallet for the long term will give them a huge profit in the future. I am sure they will know what they need to do with their huge bitcoin amount.

Most people are very greedy, man. So i don't see here any reason to be surprised. Top payed sportsmen are often promote some scummy services or even shady casinos, because of money (this is in post USSR countries, where law is doesn't work). And as i see now, in normal countries this happens constantly too. Because of greed.

Maybe a sad but this was a reality that sometimes every game especially a high valued game was been manipulated and corruption in sports couldn't be avoided. And yes its true that even the players were involved for fixing a game and it was all because of the money involve or the greediness of those people behind the scummy services. I couldn't think of how its gonna be prevented because as a human nature, as long as the call of needs and wants hunts the greedy people wouldn't change for good.

Greed is human nature, so it is hard to avoid these circumstances. There will always be the bad guy here. They have their own reasons why they choose to do this kind of dirty game. And no one can prevent it from happening because that's the way it is. We can't totally eradicate this bad behaviour in the sports industry.

We have greed, but we also have a chance to prevent greed become bigger by controlling ourselves not to chase more than we already got, especially if we don't have much chance to get it more. Related to the sportsmen, I think if they can control themselves and realizes that the money is from people who do corruption, they should not accept it, and even they must stay away from those people. They don't deserve to get that problem, especially if they already got money from that sport. It is difficult to eradicate that thing, and I am afraid that is also happening in the other fields.

Because the COVID-19 pandemic situation makes the results of the match difficult to predict. And also with the high price of Bitcoin, it makes me
have to be much more careful in choosing matches. I currently gamble on football for matches I am sure of the results, or for matches that
my favorite team plays. Previously, I bet on a lot of matches every weekend, for now I really have to be more selective in choosing which matches
to gamble on.

If there's unpredictable changes regarding on the rules nor the rooster of the team well that's quite hard to predict but if no changes and the new implemented is just for safety of the players still we can places our bets on the team we think strong. if you are not sure best to bet on next game so that you will know the performance on each team on the league or the team you like.

While we are still at the pandemic, perhaps, that will not be a good time to bet on sports as probably, making us difficult to select matches. You can rest for a while and focus on your life as we need to survive and pass from this pandemic.

If there are matches, you do not have to try to bet on that if you are not sure that you can collect much information about each team. But you can still bet on the random team to try betting on the sports and see if you have luck or not.

Hello Everyone,

I just curious, How way you choose to saving Bitcoin ?

Example case, You have 0.01 BTC on your wallet now, will you saving on 1 address or you will splits the Bitcoin be 10 address 0.001 Bitcoin each.

If I only have 0.01 btc, then I think I only need to have one wallet. But if you want to splits your 0.01 btc into 10 wallet address, that will not be a problem, but you need to think about each wallet's fees if somehow, you want to send all balance to the other wallets. That can confuse you to make a transaction, and you need to pay more fees from each wallet. With paying $10 as the fees, I think you will not like to pay that fees amount, so it is better to use one bitcoin wallet to handle it.
5927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever lost a bet in this way? on: March 05, 2021, 09:25:23 AM
Yep,  many times I have experienced to lose on my sports bet because the other team scored on final quarter. Of course, there is a regret feeling inside but I know that sports games are also unpredictable. Even you bet in the best team, you can't really know what will gonna happen to the game itself.

And countless times thar Ive been tricked also with those low odds team offered. Sometimes, lowest odds can't be trusted, too.

It is so true. If we already make a good analysis for each team and select one team with a big chance to win, the situations can change as the team can get more power when they can collaborate with the other players. I agree that sports games are unpredictable, so we need to gather more information, and we can know each player's ability in that game to help us analyze better. Be an underdog team can give them a chance to win as their tension will not too high depend on their opponents to play with their best performance.

Same as this is the gambling, more key players are involved with match fixing even after getting huge sum of money after every match winning/losing. Why certain sportsmen have such greed towards money when people are starving to have a single meal on a day.

The one taking to fix the games are those weak players who have uncertainty on their future and income in the sports they are in, they want big and fast money because there is no uncertainty, on their future, these kinds of players are easy prey to corrupt gamblers who can easily bribe their target.

We don't know their reason to do that thing, but greediness will be the things we might know. But the famous player can become greedy, especially if they get offers a lot of money and some expensive product. If that is related to money, I think many people will be tempted by money, and they will not think twice to deny it because it can change their lives for the better. Corruption and sports will still happen, but we don't know how it can happen because they will hide their activity.

In crypto you may miss opportunities if you wait too much to find suitable time to invest this is what I have observed so far but it's not mean that I recommend someone to invest blindly understanding the market trend is very important on both technical and fundamental basis after that we should made our decision of investing.

But that is worth to do to buy at a low price, so you don't have to panic if the price is down because if the price is down a lot, and you can buy at that price, you will have a big chance to sell at a high price. Sometimes, waiting for a while will give you the right time to buy the coin, but that will be up to you as we trade using our analysis, and we will get our time to buy. Perhaps, the red candle can be your sign to prepare your money to buy the coin, so you will not miss the opportunity to buy at a low price.

Hi

If i say i am from anti crypto country means withdrwals and deposits prohibited.

If i get a huge profit of 1million usdt. So how can i withdraw it, shall i move to crypto friendly country and withdraw or any solutions ?

The solutions are you need to find someone from the other country to help you buy and sell the bitcoin or find local sellers who can help you send the money to your bank account. I am sure that people from your country will offer this service to many people, even if in your country, crypto is prohibited.

But how about using Paypal? I hope you can use Paypal to deposit your money to crypto, withdraw the crypto into your fiat money, and send it into your bank account.

That is interesting, I have never seen anything close to that in my country, it seems that maybe fixing matches is something common where you live and it needs to be eradicated, this concerns not only casinos that have huge losses because of it, this also concerns the sport itself, after all we watch sports in order to see individuals or teams going at each other with the best that they have, if this is no longer the case and the matches are fixed then there is no reason to watch sports anymore.

Perhaps, that will not appear in the public, and it is hidden from that, and only a few people know about the fixing matches. But I guess that some sportsmen do that in the dark place without anyone knows.

Yes, that needs to eradicated from his country and also the other country, but that needs all aspects in that country and hard work from all officers, not just the government, the sportsmen, but it is also for the sports organization. So that will not easy and needs a long time before people can see the sports will clean from the corruption.
It depends on your perspective, we known that match fixing exist and probably happens on all leagues, sports and countries, but if a league becomes famous for fixing matches, even if those matches are a minority, then there is no point anymore to watch sports at all, as I said fair competition is the principle in which all sports are based, both opponents have to abide by the same rules and if this is not the case anymore then the reason for holding the competition at all is completely denied.

They will arrange that match fixing will not be shown to the public and will still hide things because they do not want to make the public suspicious and investigate it. They also give money to people inside that circle to shut their mouth, so they don't tell the public, making the secret be saved.

The public itself is not trying to think about corruption because they only want to enjoy the game. Even perhaps, the team will not know if the corruption is around them, which will not impact their performance.
5932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: March 04, 2021, 03:16:52 AM
If you're just blindly betting on a sport you know nothing about then of course you're going to do much worse. However, if you don't know much about a sport then you can just go by what the odds are telling you is favored to win and you should do reasonably well.

If that happens to you, it is better to stop betting for a while, even if you really want to place that bet because if you still do that, you will see that you don't have much chance to win, especially if your luck does not come. But you can place your bet by following the odds, but you need to be careful by using the money to bet because you will have the risk of losing the money in the short term. Knowing your sports and the team will be the important factor before you place the bet, so you will have a chance to win.
Betting without having any knowledge of the sport and the team at stake equals you wasting time and money aimlessly, betting with knowledge and research, the chances of winning will be easy to grab.
but if you are not an active gambler and just having fun in my opinion it doesn't matter because you don't often bet and only rely on luck and only do it occasionally and that's your right.
I remember that is what I did before. I have been inviting by my friend to place a bet on the local bookmarked. I said that I don't know what team I need to select, but my friend insists on picking randomly on that team. So I look at the lists, and I select the team that I feel I am familiar with and place on that bet.

I don't take the result seriously as I don't have a passion for betting on that team, but because my friend invites me, I think that will be okay for me. After all, that is a $5 bet on that night, and I lose that money hahah. But my friend takes the winning, and he buys foods and drinks for the other friends who don't join us.
5933  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Major Risks in Crypto Business on: March 03, 2021, 10:57:30 AM
I will be delivering a lecture or an address by weekend on a topic which would be part of the Crypto book am working on. The topic i will be teaching is "Crypto Risks: How to Minimize risks in Crypto business."

I would want to focus on trading and Investing. But, i want to know what you think on the following;

1. what are the major crypto risks that one should know and avoid by all means.

2. How do we tackle these risks or are there way to tackle the risk?

We can use btc trading and investing as a case study.

The major risk of crypto investing is the volatility of the price. When we talk about price volatility, we should understand that we need to the responsibility for our money and know how much money we should use to invest in crypto.

We can't avoid the price volatility, and we should accept it because the crypto investment is not the same as investing in gold or the other thing. But if you use bitcoin as an investment, you should not panic because of the volatility because you need to set how long you will withdraw your investment. And before the time to withdraw comes, you need to stay calm with the volatility and not thinking about fast selling because of the down of the investment value.

Perhaps, that is the way to prevent the risk, but I am sure there are more ways that you can use to prevent the risk, and that will depend on our experience to handle the risk.
5934  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Still market not show bear signals on: March 03, 2021, 09:50:57 AM
The important thing is not about the bull or the bear signal because it will be difficult to know when that signal will come to the market. I suggest you to concern and focus on making more profit from the market situations because this time, you will have many chances to make a profit than the last year. The bull market and the bear market will come by themselves, although we don't know when the signal will come, so you don't have to bother when that signal appears to the market. And now, bitcoin price is back to getting the bull signal as we see the price increase and back to $50k again, and it could still rise higher.

It's happening in sports, that's why we hear the words "rigged" , because sports can be rigged so majority of the bettors will lose. As a gambler, I think we should be aware of that so we would know where to bet, some sports are not too obvious but it's happening inside.
Everyone has a price, it doesn't always have to be money, it might be a new gym or anything of that nature which many of our sports men and women signup for as they look at the situation as not losing anything.

And most sports games that are likely to fall prey to this corruption are those from lower leagues as their games don't get much TV coverage as compared to the premiere ones.
As long as there's a money involve, we can't expect the fair game here.
Sports become a haven of money for many investors especially if they fully support a specific team. Most of the club owners are making a lot of money even if they lose the match, corruptions are always be here but I wonder how they are suffering right now especially that live viewers are still limited.

It is right. That is happening not just in sports, but it is also happening in other businesses or fields. Big money will be the reason for those people to corrupt and take some money from the deal.

The club owner can easily say to the public that they are suffering because they never tell their financial conditions to the public. If they share their financial conditions with the public, that will not be a complete report because they still hide something.

I am leaving Hitbtc a long time ago, although I still have some small balance on that exchange because I prefer to trade on Binance. With so many coins at Binance, you can select any coins that can profitable for you, and you don't have to verify your account to trade and withdraw your profit. It seems Hitbtc is not making an update, but I don't know because I don't use HitBtc anymore.

I wonder why you want to know what HitBtc advantages as we have Binance that still be one of the top exchange that we can use for trading?
5938  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin investment is limited on: March 02, 2021, 05:13:14 AM
Bitcoin is for everyone, even for people who don't sight. He can ask someone who will help him send or receive bitcoin, and even he can ask that person to make a transaction for him. It needs an effort for people to use bitcoin, which is not about something that he doesn't have in himself. Bitcoin is a tool like fiat money that we already know. I am sure there is a way for people who can't see to use bitcoin, whether they ask other people or whatever they can, to use bitcoin.

People with physically challenged can hold bitcoin or increase their bitcoin in many ways, although we don't know how to solve it. But bitcoin itself is not fully adopted in all countries, so we don't know how to solve that problem.
5939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Trust In-House Casino Competition? (Wager/Multiplier/Raffle) on: March 02, 2021, 03:43:32 AM
I'll let this thread open for a few more days to get more ideas (if any) about how to determine if the in-house contest rigged or not. The wager one is more obvious since often in just a few hours before it closed, whales start to rekt the leaderboard.
This had been always the case or situation happen on a wager competition where even you do secure your spot on the top wont really make any guarantee
that you would win the competition because as long it wasnt over then whales can really fucked you up even with the last minute left of the time.
You cant even tell if those are real players or simply on the side with the house.Hard thing on spotting or determining out if they are rigging or cheating it or not.

We can let the casino do that while we can focus on ourselves. I think the casino will do anything that can ruin their reputations, especially if it is one of the trusty casinos that most gamblers know. But a gambler who has a passion for being the number 1 on the leaderboard will try hard to win many times as they want to see their name on that leaderboard. But still, the casino can arrange the name in the leaderboard, so it is hard for them to keep their name in that place. That is why we don't have to try hard to win by playing many times because that will not guarantee us to win.
5940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Gambling and Fantasy Sports - A Gap in the Market? on: March 02, 2021, 02:21:32 AM
I think the casino has not touched the fantasy sports, making its fans of that game is hard to search for where they can play crypto fantasy sports. But I am sure that if the casino knows about that and wants to attract more attention from the fan, they will announce it to the public, and they will invite some fan to test the demo.

Perhaps, that is a big gap for the fan, but I don't think that is a gap for most gamblers, as they already have their favourite games. So I think the fan needs to be patient for a while.
