6281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If Gambling Doesn't Ever Exist, What Will You Be Doing Right Now? on: October 17, 2019, 11:04:19 PM
Oh hello, we already know that Gambling existed for a very long time. Just what if, it didn't exist? Do we really expect all of these companies to be working on trading platforms? Mining? Video Hosting? Etc... Do we really intend to be good citizens if this were the fact on our life?
Don't get me wrong buddy, this is just another What If... We already know that Gambling already helped countless of people worldwide. And this might be impossible to be gone, so let's just start on this what if

(Continues Discussion...)

I'm gambling just to be entertained I am not really after profit, so maybe to be entertained I will be playing online games just like all the kids I'm seeing in an internet cafes or maybe I just spend my time watching movies but, the fun and excitement is not as good when you're playing games and betting, games are skilled base and predictable and movies have the same theme, not the kind that gambling can give you.
6282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crowded Casinos - Play or not? on: October 17, 2019, 03:55:01 PM
Of course, I play if I have the funds and I think it's my lucky day I'll definitely going to play it depends on the kind of gambler that you are, some can play in a noisy environment and some cannot, in my case I can play because I'm used to it, and there are no casinos that are not really crowded, all popular casinos are crowded and they have a VIP room for those who want a quiet surroundings.
6283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]:Crawford vs. Kavaliauskas on: October 17, 2019, 02:26:38 PM
Against a very good counter boxer like Crawford, he has no chance yes he has power but his defense is very doubtful and he is not fighting a classy fighter like what Crawford has fought, the experience will play a major factor here, and Crawford proves to be too much for Kavaliauskas
I will not say that it will be a walk in a park, but Crawford will just add Kavaliauskas to his win resume or even knock out.
6284  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There Is No War Against Bitcoin! Stop The Fud! on: October 17, 2019, 01:45:44 PM
As far as what I know, there's no war at all, they're just warning everyone to be cautious since a lot of criminals and illegal activities were also engaged in crypto and using it for illegal transactions. Even if they don't like crypto and bitcoin at all, it will be hard for them to stop every citizen of US from using crypto. They already knew how popular bitcoin is... And I don't even see USA would do that.

I read that Bangladesh is to harsh on Bitcoin and so is India, so there is a war against Bitcoin, in some region, but we all know the government is subjective and the government is subject to change, the battle can be won when people pick the right people to govern them.
At this point in time, any group, company or government will have a hard time restricting Bitcoin users at this point of time because Bitcoin now has the upper hand.
6285  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Brexit became the reason of Bitcoin’s downfall? on: October 17, 2019, 10:53:32 AM
Forsaking EU had been the long controversial topic in Britain, the previous PM, Theresa May tried for 2 long years to negotiate with the EU regarding Brexit, but the recent PM had been the epicenter of the earthquake called Brexit.

Read Source: https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/from-brexit-to-bitexit-does-brexit-mean-bitcoins-exit-from-the-crypto-union/

I don't care about this Brexit thing and I don't know what this has to do with Bitcoin fall, is the seat of Bitcoin power and popularity comes from the United Kingdom, this is one of the dumbest posts I have read so far in this forum, the only downfall of  Bitcoin is when we found vulnerabilities in the blockchain, not an act of one nation that has nothing to do with Bitcoin adoption
6286  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Honestly, do you guys think cryptocurrencies will be gone anytime soon? on: October 17, 2019, 09:51:15 AM
I haven't been trading my bitcoins and cryptos since this year begins, but I have noticed that the hype train is slowing down since then, compared to last year. I want some honest opinion about the future outlook of BTC or crypto per se. Should investors invest in it ?
We don't need to do hype here only coins that need promotion because it's a new coin that needs hype. but in the case of Bitcoin, it doesn't need hype there are continuous news coming, new videos being uploaded on Youtube, and news articles being written, in fact, Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency still dominate the search engine, you just need to get updated to see the real situation.
6287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why don't US gov buy a trillion worth of bitcoin? on: October 17, 2019, 12:27:12 AM
We all know the US gov rules, dictate to rest of the world.
So if they cornered the btc market, afterwards the btc price could only go up, factor with this  a few btc friendly directives, and a massive coup would have been achieved.
What is the downside?

That's possible, you can control what you already have, they have the capability to do this maybe they are already doing this and they are not yet exposed, but what if they are exposed, how will the international community react to this, supporting something that they are against with
the scenario will be very bad if they are exposed, they rather make it hard for Cryptocurrency than being part or getting a hold of it, they can build a good reputation, because we all know Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency is till has conflict on the system of government  
6288  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is this because of libra ? on: October 16, 2019, 11:23:08 PM
I don't think it has something to do with Libracoin, stable coin and Cryptocurrency is already here when planned on Libra coin hasn't been revealed, it's past circumstances coming from scam coins and the nature of stable coin and cryptocurrency that motivate this council to come out with that statement, it is good for the community that they come out such a strong statement, we are all committed to making the Cryptocurrency a safe environment for investors and users.
6289  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is never going to be extinct on: October 16, 2019, 10:52:33 PM
Bitcoin is never going to be extinct
I believe its consensus will be higher and higher in the future.

We never know what's going to happen in the future because new technology is always been discovered and many coins are coming to that offer good technology we never know what coins that's already here or a new one that can really challenge Bitcoin.
But one thing I know is nothing is forever and we are always looking for new technology to make our life easy.
We cannot be 100% sure that nothing goes out when many things are coming in.
6290  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency in the next financial crisis on: October 16, 2019, 04:18:25 PM
Life is rather uncertain nowadays as anything can happen at any time and we would be caught off guard. That’s also one way to describe the current economy at this stage. With the world’s economy expanding and expanding there have been more crashes as the years go by and they are becoming more frequent and some say at any moment one could happen.

So you are left with a situation in which the money you currently own, fiat money: the dollar bills & coins, will become worthless and you cannot even buy anything you need to survive on a day to day basis. In this situation, people will have to resort to a system of bartering like in the stone ages. I guess if you have a lot of stuff with value you can trade that would be great, but a majority of people don’t have such a stash. Things can get ugly real fast.
   
Therefore, in such a doomsday situation you have to come up with a situation in which you can trade with people in order to survive. There are two solutions I can come up with, either using precious metals such as Gold & Silver or using Cryptocurrency. Considering that fiat currency is useless, Cryptocurrency might raise in value so that it can be useful as a means of trade as long as the Internet still exists which will most likely be the case.


One example is the Hongkong crisis but I'm glad that it was resolved if I am from Hongkong and I see crisis going from bad to worse I could convert my assets to Cryptocurrency and fly to other countries that are Crypto friendly, authorities will never know that I will be bringing out all my assets outside, because they have no way of knowing it, you can hold all your private key in a USB or in an encrypted email.
6291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling activities correlates with Bitcoin's price? on: October 16, 2019, 03:53:59 PM
I am little bit confused about this topic, especially in gambling websites that accept Bitcoins or any cryptocurrencies.

So, we can see more activities on gambling that uses Bitcoin when we are in bull market (price increasing)? And decreases the activities or gambling volumes when also the price of Bitcoin keeps dumping (bear season) ?

I don't know if (we) some normal gamblers would have idea about this or maybe some gambling sites would exactly know this based on their website traffic/bet activities.

There's no correct data I suppose, each gambling sites has it's own time when gambler prefers to gamble, but I think gambler, prefer to gambling in the bear market because this is the time when trade their coin to other coins and other prefer to gamble, I'm saying this based on my experienced and all my friends, but still goes on funding and if the gambler wants to gamble.
6292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will be the Faith of Casino business owners? on: October 16, 2019, 02:34:06 PM
If the propose Public Amendment of Gambling Law to BAN Casino come to pass what then will be faith of those who are benefiting from casino business related activities https://dailyasianage.com/news/199020/amendment-to-gambling-law-to-ban-casino

This news  is coming from Bangladesh so people who are into gambling in that region needs to deal with this one, here in our country it's not going to happen, we are liberal and a democratic country, there are many casinos in our country but part of the revenues goes to the health need of our people, $4.1 billion is hard to ignore, our casinos are being run by our government and this is one of the biggest revenue-generating government company.
6293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 10 Years From Now: Bitcoin Overtaking PayPal? on: October 16, 2019, 05:37:16 AM
Bitcoin has been overtaking system companies and projects for the past ten years, I'm not surprised if they beat Paypal as the most preferred payment processor because until now there are a lot of companies prefer Paypal than Bitcoin these companies have in their terms a chargeback option and Paypal so far is the one compatible for now, I used the word for now because change can and will happen.
6294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua II on: October 15, 2019, 05:00:15 PM
^ Weird, I don't know why Ruiz will come in the fight much lighter though,  did he wanted to show his speed here? I doubt that he can do that against Joshua in this second fight. I mean he was "perfect" in the first fight and I doubt that Joshua will change his strategy. Well, he can run in the first few rounds but I'm sure that Andy even at a heavier weight can catch up with him and will have success.

For me it will spell the difference here and if Ruiz losses this fight, it's probably because of trying to come up lighter against Joshua.

I'm also surprised seeing this picture, it's a big difference, we can easily tell that he will put emphasis on the speed because this is where he beat Joshua with his speed and accuracy, but hopefully, he can maintain the power on those speeds, he will not do something that will let Joshua retake the crown, if  Joshua wins by a split decision a trilogy is forthcoming. 
6295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi in Oxford English Dictionary on: October 15, 2019, 02:14:29 PM
First was bitcoin
Second was cryptocurreny

Now they listed "satoshi" and defined it as:
a satoshi is the smallest monetary unit in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, and is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the—probably pseudonymous—developer(s) of Bitcoin.

I'm not sure if there would be any impact on bitcoin's popularity but it's good that the word has been acknowledged although I think it's a bit late.

What word will be next?

Related news: https://cointelegraph.com/news/oxford-english-dictionary-adds-satoshi-bitcoins-smallest-unit





By the way, a question was posted here before How long until "satoshis'" make in into the (oxford) dictionary?, we know the answer now  Grin

It's not really that late but the timing is just right and it's about time, this is the time when people are asking and will ask what and who is Satoshi and  Oxford English Dictionary has to realize that, they should update their database, in the near future some of the common words in the community, will be included like HODL, there will be a lot of words coined in Cryptocurrency that will be included in  Oxford English Dictionary.
6296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Cryptopia: Bitcoin, Blockchains and the Future of the Internet" on: October 15, 2019, 11:57:24 AM
I have seen a lot of documentaries and this one is going to be one of the best documentaries about Bitcoin and Blockchain, I hope it will be seen in the public preferably on Youtube, we need a documentary from time to time, as condition of adoption in Cryptocurrency is changing rapidly and every year there is a new milestone happening, if we have  one each year we have a chronicle of what happened in a given year.
6297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A rise on Bitcoin addresses that holds 1k BTC or more is a bullish sign! on: October 15, 2019, 11:12:51 AM
Recently, there has been a steady increase on the number of unique Bitcoin addresses that holds at least 1k BTC or more and this trend has been consistent for several months now, which started from the earlier period of 2019! As per news articles, most crypto observers had suggested the idea that its possible that big investors and institutions could be behind this trend where it seems they are possibly accumulating BTC under $10k price range.


To my understanding, I think this is a bullish sign for BTC, and whats more exciting is that this trend hasn't happened especially in the 2017 bull market! Kindly share with us your thoughts and ideas about this metric. Smiley

A lot of indications is happening right now, we even have a halving coming up it's going to happen next year, but all the indication and are not converting to what should happen right now, we should be enjoying right now because this should be the time that we are moving to another milestone, but unfortunately it's not happening, we will have to wait before the start of the year before all these materialize.
6298  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Question for fellow Campaign Managers on: October 15, 2019, 08:41:07 AM
Recently, I was managing a signature campaign and there were few slots open just for the Member ranks, but many higher-level users like Full Member and Hero were requesting me to consider their applications and they would be satisfied with the lower pay according to the Member rank.

Is it acceptable to put higher-level users in competition with lower ones for a spot in the signature campaign?
I declined to address such requests, but what if I don't get any applications from good quality posters for the member spot is it then right to choose from higher accounts?

Would really like to hear what you do with your campaigns in such a scenario.

I once applied for a much lower rank just last year but the manager prefers a lower than a hero rank I just realized that when it comes to hiring a participants bounty manager always pick, the one that can follow rules and who can grasp the topic and post wisely and within the topic  I was a lousy poster then but that's a good motivation for me, managers will always go for good posters than rank because they want to protect the reputation of the campaign more than anything else.  
6299  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty hunters needs to start respecting themselves on: October 15, 2019, 08:17:40 AM
Bounty hunters please start claiming your worth, do not go around promoting bounty projects that has too low allocation, i was surfing around on this forum today and i saw new bounty projects that have allocation worth of 1000dollars and they even have separate campaigns, why are people promoting such projects? you are the ones responsible for how developers are treating bounty hunters, there is nothing wrong if you decide not to work for penny... Even some airdrops on this forum has 8$ worth of allocation, just imagine that

If I'm going to promote a bounty campaign, I prefer looking on the potential in the market even if they allocate $1000 if it has a potential I will choose it than the other campaign that allocates millions and failed to get in the market or only worth less than a cent, it's good when bounty was at its heyday but not possible anymore you will be respecting yourself more if you stop believing that this coin is the next big thing online according to their developer.
6300  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New projects are responsible for the death of their tokens on: October 15, 2019, 04:51:16 AM
In this kind of bad altcoin market i am still surprised that some new projects are giving out 50% price tag for their tokens, this is a project killer if you ask me, this move is only good if altcoin season is out and surging, 50percent is way too much in this kind of market we are in presently,  tell me i'm wrong

All these coins, in reality, do not have value at all, until they get in the market and traders start trading them, it's the supply and demand in the market that sets the price, do not be deceived that if you are going to get 50% off you are going to make a profit right away, unless you see that it's the price that traders are putting on that coin, do not carry this kind of thinking when buying, check the platform whitepaper and full details. then you will have the idea.
