6241  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can crypto gambling be provably fair to regulators? on: March 31, 2020, 04:05:44 PM
Provably fair is provably fair, there is no reason to check anything else, even if casino itself creates a user themselves and gamble they do not hold any advantage that is not in the gamblers itself, they are risking as much as other gamblers. The only thing they can actually get out of creating some gamblers themselves (so faking the user number) would be marketing, if you have hundreds of people playing on your website at all times others will think you are cool and will join as well and you will have organic 100+ instead. That is literally the only thing I can think of right now.

There could also be competitions of wagering where they fake numbers and just lose to themselves to get the win and not pay to others. However, there is no stealing investors money by gambling, you lose equally at all times even if you are the house making a new gambler.
6242  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will 2020 be exactly what we hoped for anymore on: March 31, 2020, 02:54:30 PM
Good day friends and family on here, here are few questions disturbing my little mind since I wasn't expecting this virus this year, I thought this year will actually be the best since years ago, but it seems I'm wrong

1. Will Bitcoin halving have impact on crypto market this year with the virus outbreak?
2. Is Coronavirus benefiting crypto at all?
3. Will New projects be able to proceed with launching and development in this outbreak?
4. What do you think will happen to bounties this year ?
Well, these are all future profits that bitcoin is collecting today. For example the first question is "will bitcoin have an impact on crypto market with the virus out break" well bitcoin will have an impact on crypto market no matter what happens, it is bitcoin, it is most of the crypto market all by itself, so I don't get it.

However second question is the benefits, well it may or may not benefit right now, but the good part is it will benefit a lot in the future when people see that we come out of this like nothing happened, that will be the real deal that properly fixes things in the future. Basically the whole world finances are going down and it is going to be even worse, whereas we are doing alright and we will have halving so we will basically be better than anything else.
6243  Economy / Gambling / Re: Best Gambling Affiliate Program? on: March 31, 2020, 08:55:17 AM
Honestly, all casino affiliates are bad casino affiliates as long as you do not keep up constantly getting more and more money. What you need to hope is the people you bring spends more money than you spend on the marketing to get those people.

If you spend ten bucks and get someone who spends hundred that means you can now spend that hundred to get more people and so forth, that way you can keep it going forever until you have such a big amount of affiliates that what you are spending to keep the marketing going wouldn't matter to you, however you will NEVER be able to stop, as soon as you stop you will see your affiliates are already diminishing in number of games they play, and since there are no new ones you are not going to see any future profits and eventually run out of affiliates who play.
6244  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the safest crypto online games to start if you are a Newbie? on: March 31, 2020, 08:22:26 AM
Easily dice, dice is both provably fair so you know that you are not getting scammed by anyone if you are careful enough, and also it is very simple, you just click on the roll button and you gambled! Of course you can make it more and more complicated, you can start using scripts and bots and all that jazz if you go into that level but eventually we are talking about gambling at it is purest form of rolling some dice and either winning or losing.

Playing cards is quite difficult, I tried to learn poker for a while and it became very very tough and didn't really mastered it because it was too hard for me, sports betting is cool but you still need to know the teams, lottery is basically one in a life time chance thing. That is why dice is much better than all of them for a newbie.
6245  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading signals... on: March 31, 2020, 07:14:48 AM
Sharing a strategy would seriously be killing it if enough people do it. Do you guys know why many indicators start to look like they don't work anymore compared to past? Because, too many people look at it and trade accordingly and that causes the indicator to not really work properly anymore, when you throw in so much money that it ruins that makes no sense to keep using it and that is why it stops working as well as it used to.

So, I understand why crycryptocry doesn't want to share his strategy, what matters here is not his strategy anyway, if he thinks there is a signal he wants to share and he is sure about he will share here, so you will go ahead and check if he is right or not and maybe he is wrong, in that case nobody will care about it and he will slowly stop, if he is right more than he is wrong that means people will follow him and do what he does and make money.
6246  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Finding the best cryptocurrency exchange to trade on - What is your top pick? on: March 30, 2020, 09:06:26 PM
It is not really that easy to find a good exchange, all of them has one problem or another, not one single exchange has everything right, and many of them lie as well which is the real trouble here. I mean at one point binance made a lot of mistakes, kucoin does, poloniex used to be one of the best, now look at it, so basically ALL exchanges have something they are lacking and that is a big problem.

Even if they do not do a mistake all by themselves there is really big chance the owner or someone from the team saying or doing something bad as well, doesn't mean the exchange is bad but it just puts you off. For better or worse binance is still by far the best one out there but if I had a better option I would totally leave binance right now but there is none so I am stuck.
6247  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Portfolio Stop Loss on: March 30, 2020, 08:36:41 PM
Once again an amazing article from crabby, dude is one of the best content writers in all of crypto world and I can say this as a content writer because it is quite difficult to write stuff that would attract the attentions of other people to make them read it, I have tried and failed many times as much as I made it worked as well so I know how hard it is to make a home run each time.

Stop loss is something I always adore anyway so having a portfolio stop loss would actually quite in my alley as well, when crypto falls it does fall all together usually aside from few exceptions and it looks like this could be great for those general times it happens. Why deal with putting stop loss on everything, just put one into your general portfolio and make sure you are safe when you are sleeping.
6248  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the government understand? on: March 30, 2020, 08:04:37 PM
Am I the only one who is thinking that for the first time ever (except USA) governments are actually doing what they suppose to and they are actually working overtime and trying to help as many people as they can? Like right now there are so many nations who are postponing bills, who are dropping taxes here and there, making healthcare not only free but also accessible quite easily, helping out the poor, paying welfare to people who are unemployed and many many many decent democratic socialism things that are looking after the bottom up instead of top down.

I know we have been looking for governments who are using the taxes they take to help out the ones in need but it looks like maybe corona actually made them realize that not everything a politician does should be tied to votes, maybe you can do things without caring about votes and just caring about humanity.
6249  Economy / Economics / Re: What China is hiding from us and are they doing it to save their economy? on: March 30, 2020, 07:10:15 PM
Even if they are hiding the real number, they are probably doing it so that people would still buy stuff from china and not because they created it. People keep thinking that china (even if they are bad government with a dictator) could release something that would hurt themselves, they are evil but they are not idiots, if they wanted to release a virus to the world they would start with other nations first and help them out.

What they are doing with these test kits they are sending for example is a prime example of them trying to get people to use Chinese stuff again, would you buy an Chinese knock off right now? Any product? However everyone would want test kits, they would want protective equipment as well, so they are trying to keep that "here buy these now, keep buying other stuff later" thing going.
6250  Economy / Economics / Re: Bank's loss crypto's gain? on: March 30, 2020, 03:59:13 PM
Banks are actually dealing with such thin margins on the billions of dollars they have that people are forgetting how big their budget is. I mean when you want to invest 1 thousand dollars that is quite easy, you can find multiple stuff, when you want to invest 1 million its still quite easy, 10? easy, 100? gets harder.

When you want to invest ONE BILLION DOLLARS into anything, that is too much, that is leaving you with only few options you can use and banks are dealing with only those options and we are talking about trillions here, trillions of dollars trying to keep churning up profit for the shareholders is not something easy. What do they end up doing? They literally just risk it all to make more money, they do very risky moves and that results with them going bankrupt as soon as things turn out nothing like they expected.
6251  Economy / Economics / Re: We are about to see the monetary power of the U.S. government on: March 30, 2020, 03:16:02 PM
We have already seen it in 2008. You do realize that the whole world got screwed because some bankers wanted more money and accepted more risks right?

The crooked wall street bankers basically paid moody's and other ranking agencies to rank the mortgages at triple A or maybe at worst B's and all that for the default rate higher than 5% and they agreed, so there was crooked illegal stuff going on there but ranking agencies are private organizations, so you can give them 100% default rate all not paid mortgage bonds and they can still rank it triple A and nothing happens to them because "it is their own opinion" and you can jail someone for their opinion.

It resulted with bankers selling a lot of dog shit bonds to people, which resulted with economy bankrupting. What happened? USA got out of it fine, hell USA paid banks billions of dollars but got paid back with interest. It was other nations that got screwed. That is how much power they have.
6252  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: whats next? on: March 29, 2020, 07:16:13 PM
What we need to focus after this crisis is to actually find a method to keep a lot of USDT on hand, thats what will change bitcoin to better. We have been given a blessing with USDT, they have printed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of USDT for this situation because there was a whole lot of demand and they supplied it to us.

However, this much USDT will not be needed for now, at least not in the future when people go back to bitcoin. It was needed, it got covered and now it will become more and more useless. What we need to do for the future is put that money into good use and buy all of that USDT and keep it at the side for now. If we can achieve something like that, the simplest way to get out would be simply use that USDT to buy as many bitcoin as we can next time this happens.
6253  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Innovation is key, but good community is more important. on: March 29, 2020, 06:19:48 PM
Do not forget that money is probably more important than all of this combined. If you want to build a new project, you can use as much money as you can afford to an it will make it better, there is absolutely no way you can't get the best out of your project if you do not spend the highest financially possible amount you can.

I am not talking about the money you have, I am talking about calling all of your family and asking for money, calling all your friends and asking for money, calling for loans from the banks, basically the maximum capacity you can and then set out to build a new project, with that you can actually build something half decent if you are poor and quite exquisite if you are rich. The more money spent on a project equals more money you can get invested.
6254  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Innovation is key, but good community is more important. on: March 29, 2020, 10:42:54 AM
Obviously community is more important, not just exchanges but projects as well. Lets assume there is one dude who has no money but amazing development skills and a great idea, and there is this guy who has a horrible idea, has no idea how to code but a million dollars. Who do you think will build the best project? Does anyone really think that developers project will be more successful? There is no chance that happens unless he goes viral.

The millionaire will have the more successful project because he will spend his million dollars on marketing, developers, designers, community building, bounties, and many other stuff and even though he has a worse product a lot of people will join in because there will be a lot of people who promote it. That is how it all works.
6255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does good side of gambling overcomes its negative side? on: March 28, 2020, 06:47:22 AM
People just trick themselves into thinking there could be any sort of good side. Bad side is clearly the winner here because it will lead to you literally ruining your whole life if you get addicted to gambling.

I suppose it is not all that awful if you are not addicted and can limit yourself and gamble within your means but even with that in mind, if you saved up all the money you would otherwise gamble and use that to invest into something, you would have probably made a ton of money from it and probably would have a passive income by now. Since many people prefer gambling over investing, those people are literally postponing their own retirement to a further date by losing the money instead of using the money. I guess even that alone should be enough.
6256  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin last forever? on: March 27, 2020, 04:38:57 PM
Technically "forever" is a very long period of time, I do not think we will have bitcoin "forever", it will be around in 10 years probably 20, maybe even 50 years.

But, think about how fast the technology and the world improves in the past 10-20 years, that means we can't really comprehend what it can do in 50-100 years, most of us will not be alive in 50 years, all of us will be dead in 100 years, even the youngest people here must be at least 15-20 years old, even if you are 5 years old (which I doubt any 5 year old would be on bitcointalk) that is 105 years old, and probably dead. So, that means we will not see bitcoin being fully gone if you ask me. But, in 100 years we will definitely have people living on mars, at least it looks like that from here right now.
6257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are you doing now? on: March 27, 2020, 03:48:07 PM
Honestly, I am so bored that I have been looking at twitch and esports to actually get a sense of how that world works. I am a gamer myself but never really got into esports all together, however nowadays I am considering it a possibility, maybe I will take a look at it better, check the games I like most and gamble on them in the future as well.

I wasn't a big esports person before this corona thing happened, I still am not, if regular sports come back I will still wager on those probably, but now at least I know the teams and I know who is who and if I ever feel like gambling, I can actually sense who could be winning and why. Of course, I didn't become an expert in a week, I simply learned why the teams with better odds are better teams, that's it, that still doesn't mean anything. I simply learned why Liverpool vs Arsenal gives Liverpool 1.4 odds basically, that's it.
6258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any Casino with good Investment Returns? on: March 27, 2020, 07:55:33 AM
Bustabit and bustadice is also very cool because they are trusted, there was once a time when they got "hacked", well it wasn't exactly a hack but some gambler found a way to actually make more money and he won a ton of money using that bug and withdraw a lot of money as well, this resulted investors to lose a lot of money as well.

What did @devans do? He literally paid out of pocket all of the losses and keep investors happy, not many place could actually do that, I swear if the same thing happened in almost any place they would say "you knew the risks when investing" or something like that and take themselves out of question, maybe drop their profits a bit and give you more for a while and so forth. Basically bustabit/dice is good to gamble but also great to invest.
6259  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think? on: March 26, 2020, 08:46:31 PM
There will definitely be an increase when corona goes away, there is absolutely nothing that keeps bitcoin low right now, it has been said that bitcoin has no instinct value but it is loved by people like crazy so I can understand why people would still value it so high but right now the only thing that is keeping it low is the fear people have towards corona and that's it.

Many people were considering this a doomsday scenario and everyone SHOULD stay at home but it is not really all that horrible, we are not going to have 100k+ death toll when this is over.

Corona will never really "end" all that much but when there is a cure that fixes people in less than a week, it will become like a common flu, that kills people as well but it is not really not scary anymore is it? When corona becomes like that, markets will go up once again.
6260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: March 26, 2020, 04:47:17 PM
Humanity is basically fighting this big virus thing that is threatening all of our lives, I don't know if we should even care about Uefa. That is the thing I have been seeing here that scares me the most, people all talking about when football will comeback and when they will be able to watch some more. I get that you are stuck at home and you want to see more games, you have every right to "want" something like that.

However football players are human as well, we should just want them to stay at home as well, ever player that has an infection is another football player getting it from him, so we should definitely make sure we keep every single player at home. We should never give anyone (not just football players) any reason to go out, everyone should stay in.
