Scam is a global issue even before crypto, I think some is just saying that crypto is all scam since it's done in the internet. And as we all know scam normally happened using the internet thus, most people think it's scam. I think whether it's crypto or not, scam is inevitable because scammers just can't get off their hands to easy money.

Scammer did scams with fiat and bank accounts etc and now they are scamming crypto also. Everything which has a value is subjected to be exploited by the scammers.  Saying that scam are only because of crypto is wrong.


I believe scams can be dealt with without centralized system or authority but rather with decentralized anti-scam measures.
 I wouldn't care too much if the regulators go after the centralized cryptocurrency platforms though. They are not very transparent and can be easily abused.

No matter we have centralized or decentralized systems, scammer and hackers are intelligent enough to scam us. It is our duty to take preventive measures and be alert.

Any suggestion for things that we could invest and make money at the same time
Lol, some people are really funny, they don’t invest when there is time, they only try to jump in when the market starts to go up and they think the bull run has started. Anyone who is using his or her senses should have known that the market has been at the bottom ever since its price became stable. They are now trying to get in as the price moved up, so what are you going to do if falls back?

This is the basic sentiment in the market. Everyone want to jump in the running train and no one wants to buy when the prices are low or cheap.  Two / three months back people were hesitant to invest in bitcoin when its price was 3000-3500$ and now when it is about to cross the 6000$, they are asking should we invest ? I am sure that they will not invest and keep on waiting till prices are too high. Then they will fomo and buy when the prices are at a peak.
6743  Economy / Economics / Re: Why most bitcoin users from good economies countries? on: May 04, 2019, 04:49:31 PM
I think this is related also to a cultural concept.

E.g. ONEcoin Scam was really hyped by people from poor country.
How can some one spend a lot of time, effort and resources, without receive a sure profit?
it's really hard, even if you don't have enough resources and lack of economic education.
Otherwise Onecoin was advertised as "be rich" scheme and we all know what is the results of these type of project Wink

Poor country does not mean that the people living there are out of their mind. They should use their mind and should the difference between real crypto coins and the scam coins like OneCoin etc. I have seen people claim onecoin to the next bitcoin. How can anyone compare bitcoin and onecoin.
Its just show that people are fooled because they are always attracted towards become quick rich schemes and then cry afterwards.
6744  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin goes down, no new rich people anymore on: May 04, 2019, 04:23:56 PM
IF you already rich whats the point of taking on all the additional risk that crypto provides.  If I was a billionaire I would keep my money in solid investments like property and companies.  Going for really high risk investments is more for poor people since they don't have much to lose.

Crypto does not provide any risk while property and companies does. We are near the next economic crisis and all these things like Dollar, property etc will be devalued. Only those who have cryto and bitcoin with them will be saved because all the money will be flow towards crypto. I will recommenced rich people to keep some portion of thier assets in bitcoins for the future.
6745  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Bearish or Bullish? Here my thoughts: APRIL UPDATE on: May 04, 2019, 04:15:41 PM

Quote

If you follow the link you’ll see also ETH and all major alts are considered.


Yes, they were also considered. April is over, and we see that it managed to bring positive changes to many cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. I think it was bullish this month, surely.

April was the bullish month for the bitcoin only.  It was indeed a worst month for altcoins as we see most of the altcoins went below their all time low value. No news or event like main net , listing could pump the altcoins for long time duration. Ask from the holders of altcoins and they will say that their portfolio are at extreme losses.
6746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: May 04, 2019, 01:42:58 PM
Tier is a good thing but they should make it more transparent. Let 12 teams stay in tier one, hold worldcup with them. The lower two teams should relegate to the 2nd tier and the top 2 of the 2nd tier get their chances to the first. Same should be done with test cricket also. There should be no permanent privilege for any teams.
Why shouldn't teams get permanent privileges? They deserve such privileges completely and this applies to every single sport in the world. Some teams are just better than other teams at the end of the day and that will always stay true due to multiple factors like experience etc.

No one deserve permanent privilege. For example, look at Zimbabwe. They are still having the test status, despite performing below par for more than a decade now. IMO, there are far better teams out there, which deserve test status. On top of that because of their test status they receive 10 times more funding from the ICC, when compared to the other teams such as Nepal and Netherlands.
I don't agree. As I said, established teams deserve their permanent privileges due to their performances over time. I mentioned established teams specifically and I never talked about Zimbabwe which was never a good Cricket team to begin with.

I guess we need to agree to disagree here.

Though being an interesting event, one of the reasons why cricket hasn't established itself as a global sport is the privilege system. Unlike other world cups, they have no to small qualifiers and a small number of teams compete. They are mostly concentrated around the commonwealth and is slow in adoption anywhere else.

Cricket is not being played in most of the countries of the world and it is the sports of few nations only. Still the game is very interesting and those who watch cricket are never bored of less teams. Also they are three formats, Test, One day, T20 due to which we are able to watch the cricket matches almost all the year.
6747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you watch the matches you're gambling on on: May 04, 2019, 07:22:15 AM
Love to watch Im not that passionate gambler more like fun one. Few games on ticket with some single ones and this is also more for fun. Few bucks in ticket if comes good if not again good.
I have been in the sports gambling for more than a year now and it is fun to watch the matches you have gambled on. There are so many things you get to learn if you do that. And in addition, you gamble on the game you love to watch. If you do not love to gamble over something, why would you gamble on it in the first place? The benefit of watching is that you develop a skill of dealing with the loss and win plus it guides you to make right decisions.

Basically there are two benefits of watching the match you are betting on.

You enjoy the match more as your are more concern that your team should win.

In case you see your team losing, you can make more bets on the wining team, this way your loss in your initial bet can be minimized.
6748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any knows the mathematical formula to winning the lottery? on: May 03, 2019, 06:19:29 PM
Have you gambled lottery?
Why Mathematicians aren't riches now in gambling since they know and expert in equation solving finding the x value?
Equation solving in Mathematics are helpful to finds or pick the numbers, how did you know if it is even or odd numbers in right combination?
Is the binomial coefficient formula will really help you to find the right winning combination?

Share your thought here and let's discuss this. Cheesy

This is almost impossible to find such a formula which may win you a lottery. There are many mathematical and statistics experts person in the world and  If that was possible,they would have won a lot of lotteries by now. Unfortunatly formulas does not work in gambling and its only the luck which may help you winning a lottery.

5 CRYPTO GAMES [DICE]

 LuckyGames - https://luckygaimes.cc

 999Dice - https://bit.ly/2V0LgFP

 Bitsler - https://www.bitsler.com

 CasinoRoyale - https://casinoroyale.bet

 DuckDice -  https://duckdice.io

 ***** Make your Crypto SAFE with Ledger Hard Wallet: https://[Suspicious link removed]/2HDAzlo *****

THANKS FOR WATCHING & GOOD LUCK!!!! B)


I believe there is only some sites that I can recommend it here cause some of it does have some bad history. Like 999dice, I believe that is really a scam site which using really low porvably fair system on their site, so it is pretty easy for them to cheat on their system as well. And for others, I think I can still made. Anyway thanks for reminding luckygames, it was like really long time ago since I played there. Will be back there soon enough  Grin

don't forget about the duckdice too, i found a thread here and they have a Scam Accusations against that site
Duckdice.io [SCAM and SHADY behavior]



999dice got busted indeed , their provably fair was proven not really fair
while luckygames openly admitted cheating a player out of money just because he abused a bug that they could not be bothered to fix
casinoroyale is not my first choice either , so out of the whole list I'd only play Bitsler
and Duckdice , when I feel adventurous
there are plenty more decent cryptocasino sites , top tier like Bitsler or Stake or cryptogames etc.


We will find many good casino site along with the bad ones. I have known people who have lost a big amount of money due to the scam online gambling sites. For this reason, i rarely look for any new gambling site and try to stick with the ones i trust and playing for a long time.

I tried to withdraw 1 bitcoin. The withdraw is pending. More than 24 hours


Today and tomorrow are holidays and the withdrawals will only be processed from Mon-Fri 9-5 NZST timing so your withdrawal will be processed on Monday now.

If i want to transfer my ETN to another another exchange, i can't do that because the ETN withdrawal is disabled. If there any other option for me to withdrawal my ETN directly to an ETN address ?   Or do i have to less in loss and then withdraw the BTC ? Sad
6751  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] FairDrops.com - Fair airdrops for honest users on: April 28, 2019, 06:10:08 PM
Your CryptoNinja is fully pumped with ref-links, you are not fair airdrops, but to get more people under your links. And what decentralized way are you talking about?
What would you expect into these kind of sites? Its just a normal thing or non-surprising for people to suggest something with having a referral link attached to it.I just don't get why he do use up with that "honest users" ?

Yes, there is nothing "honest" about it. The site can be used by a person who is very new in bitcoin and can get links to important  trading, cloud mining and faucets sites. The OP has used his referral links every where and sometime it feels that the site is made with the intention of collecting referrals.
6752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My Own Gambling Strategy on: April 28, 2019, 04:28:38 PM
Yes it make sense and mostly gamblers are too greedy to use their savings just to hope for a gambling that they can earn profit. Strategies like this can help, but you must still control yourself not to gamble at all because this is a losing game and for sure you don’t want to lose money which is very common in gambling.

For sure! - Especially if living beings depends on you.

I don't personally think that it's only about greed, it's also about the excitement and to not feel like a loser. I know that feel because it is practically the same  in some videogames for me. Especially MMOs that are cool with challenging bosses or pvp.

People for sure needs to regulate the money they spend daily just like i need to regulate the time i spend daily on the same things or the aforementioned videogames.
If people can control their money to spend. Maybe gambling will be something that not look bad anymore for other. We know gambling always said to something that can make people loss all their money and it is bad.



Yes, gambling is risky game and we need to understand this risk, before we decide to play gambling.

Losing your money is one way we can call bad, especially if you are keep losing it from gambling, but likewise if you have good control and enjoying
this market even you are losing some and also times got something to win then you are always be in a good position not being over gambled, its
about controlling your emotions to stay safe.

Well, if you cannot bear the loss in gambling, then gambling is not for you. Gambling are only for those who can take some risk with the hope of wining and bear the lose in case of lose in gambling
6753  Economy / Marketplace / Re: $1 Billion Dollar’s Worth of Cryptocurrency Stolen in 2018 on: April 28, 2019, 03:01:08 PM
Cryptocurrency intelligence firm reported that CipherTrace’s Q3, 2018, cryptocurrency thefts had already reached $927 million.

Previously CipherTrace second-quarter report said, the company identified that there were more thefts during the first half of 2018 compared to the entire year of 2017 alone. Some $731 million worth of cryptocurrency was stolen from exchanges with some of the most notable hacks including that of Japanese exchange Coincheck at $530 million, and BitGrail that lost some $195 million dollars’ worth of tokens.

As of the Q3 report, the number now stands at $927 million lost in cyber attacks and CipherTrace predicts that this trend will continue. By the end of the year, they say, thefts will add up to well over $1 billion.

I am pretty sure it is more than that like 1.5-2 billions that are now in the pockets of topnotch hackers or huge whale group of scammers or anyone related to any syndicate that has a huge influence on the financial industry. But ICO barely scam anyone anymore so I hope the next batches of  upcoming  exchanges have learned from those reports to tighten up their security.

Hackers are always active on this crypto currency world and looking to exploit any loopholes. In 2019, Crytopia exchange was hacked. At first i had a feeling that it was some insiders job or scam exit case but later the exchange came back online and team are working to restore their services as soon as possible, which means it was a  really hacked.

Firstly, I could not find many reviews related to your website and the bad design is not doing you any favors. You should have tried to provide something decent at the very least. Who would want to invest in such a low quality website?

How could you expect many reviews for a brand new site? I have to agree that this site is not attractive at all, I just tried to login as a guest to look further on its features. Terms page is not yet available, the deposit page is not working as well http://prntscr.com/nhua57
There are some Persian/Arabic words under the support page that I do not understand the meaning. It seems that the OP is Persian/Arabic.

I agree that such half made gambling sites come every day where the owner of the sites just want people come and play at his site. With no proper promotion , no one will be willing to take a risk by joining the site.
6755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The ugly side of Bitcoin on: April 28, 2019, 09:53:04 AM
We all know how beneficial it is for us to have a currency like Bitcoin , something that we can use without any interference and without any middle man, but there is always a problem with things that we usually unsee because of the huge benefits it earns to us and this time it's environmental pollution.
Bitcoin as we know it requires mining to continue it's supply , but the thing is mining consumes Tons of energy and thus makes it harder for us to cope up with the stress it is putting up on the environment.
Pollution, global warming  Bitcoin is causing all this , one might argue that it won't be necessary after a while but what about right now ? It's hurting the environment and we have no stable solution for this.
Shouldn't we focus on this too ? Rather than other things ?

I don't think any of your argument is valid. Bitcoin mining uses a lot of energy but if you look around almost everything uses electricity and energy to run.
You cannot say that global warming or environmental pollution is only because of Bitcoin. It is the industries around the world who are producing wastes which is gathering up in the form of global warming. Bitcoin mining contribution is almost none as compare to other industry.
6756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about the gambling site's having a promotion? on: April 28, 2019, 08:04:51 AM
Hello guys,

What do you guys think about the gambling site's promotion? Does the promotion of the site help you playing their games?
What would be the best that the site had to implement in their site like loss back where you'll get a percentage of the money you lose after playing or receiving percentage of your money that you bet?

Share your thoughts about the gambling sites where they have those kind of system that the gamblers can benefit from it.

Anyway, I am not planning to have a gambling site where I just want to find a gambling site where you can benefit from their site even if it just small but it can help the gambling site and more players will come to play and the gambling site's traffic would also increase.


Promoting a Gambling sites is always in the interest of the owners. The more the site is promoted on social media, the more people will join and play there and hence the revenue of the site will increase. Also you can see that almost all the good and established casino sites are running their signature campaigns for a long time because this is also one way to bring customers to their sites. The better you can market the site, the more business the casino owners can gain.

IS this for real?you have scheduled your wedding without enough budget?

Do you really want to get married or you just wanna play ?man I can’t believe it’s true because wedding is the most special moment for every Gill.this is their dream to he a Cinderella or princess but what you are doing?does your becoming wife serious of marrying you?

Sorry mate but i felt so disappointing being a man and you have this stupid plan of Gambling you money so it would cover the expenses,then what will happen if you lose?the wedding will be cancelled?

I wish the Girl will make up her mind and get away as long as she had a time to do so,you are not a type of man who will be responsible specially when you have a children’s

Don’t take this as a personal attack instead consider this as wake up call for you tl do more better than this

That's really is a concerning point. The post of OP shows that he has only this amount of money and even if try and win in gambling, All his money will be spend in gambling. Getting married is a name of responsibility, so i wonder how will OP meet his expenses when we will spend all of his funds on the marriage event.
6758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet on an insect fight? on: April 28, 2019, 06:01:45 AM
The war between insects is always a battle for life. When you try to create artificial conflicts to create your own benefits is a bad thing that goes against the laws of nature. I disagree with your idea.
Indeed. Although they are somehow considered as pest to humans and plants, their role is still vital in the environment. Distrupting their nature for the sake of gambling is morally incorrect. We should be contented in gambling using computers and machineries instead.
In a traditional gambling they are been used but by the technology now, most of the gambling practices has been converted to computers with the help of online gambling this is no longer been practice or not even known by this new era, they are now engage with sports betting or any types of casino games where they are enjoying inside the convenient of their own devices.

Yes, these days we have many new gambling games which are played online and are lot of more attractive and fun. Insect fight gambling was never famous everywhere and it is only few areas where people showed interest in such type pf gambling. Also, with modern world, the trend of insect fight will almost die soon.
6759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your favorite kind of lottery? on: April 28, 2019, 04:44:05 AM
I often participate in the lottery through several risk players. Here you can join in even-odd lottery betting. A fixed station determines the results. The ratio is 50-50, so I think I will be able to have a very high chance of winning if you lose you only need to double the amount of the bet the next day — an easy winning strategy.

Even with your approach it is not feasible to take part in lottery and quite risky. If you lose one day,  and we double the amount of bet the next day and what if we lose again ? Si in order to cover the loss, you need to double, triple your initial investment and if you are unlucky, you may lose all of your money in this process.
6760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with your Parents on: April 27, 2019, 04:04:04 PM
Actually, I used to play those games (Bingo and Tong-its, as well as Poker), too with my relatives especially my cousins. I think I was still in grade school that time when they taught me how to play such. But we don't gamble, we just play. I call it 'playing' rather than 'gambling' because for me, a thing only becomes gambling when there is money and betting involved.

Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with playing those with your relatives or your parents even. But there should be self-control, discipline so that you would know your limits; you'll know when to stop. And it's a good thing that you don't want to expose your future children with such. Just give them other valuable and knowledgable items to play with.

Playing gambling with friends and cousin is ok but idea of gambling with parents is not easy digest. Yes, we can gamble with them in a friendly environment but if it involves money, it can create some mis- understanding between the children and the parents. Although parents do give money to their children and even children help and give money to their parents, but giving money on the basis of gambling seems a  bit awkward to me. It think the respect level is compromised if we gamble with parent but then it depends upon ones thinking
