721  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Who's next in line? on: November 22, 2023, 09:24:09 PM

Which exchange or CEO do you think is going down next?


Any exchange that is operating within the US.

And with that, the first exchange that comes to my mind is Coinbase, and since this is US based, they have been fighting against SEC for the longest time now.

Quote
- Coinbase has a Tuesday filing deadline to answer the Securities and Exchange Commission's rebuttal of the company's motion to get its major enforcement action dismissed.

- The company is said to be ready to underline two legal arguments: that the tokens being traded don't represent investment contracts (and thus securities) and that the SEC is violating the Major Questions Doctrine that outlines the relationship between regulators and Congress.

https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/10/23/coinbase-poised-to-make-final-pitch-in-bid-to-kill-sec-accusations-quickly/

So we will see how this things settle down between SEC and Coinbase. Or if SEC will also used their hammer against a US based crypto exchange, or if they want to show force that anyone can be under their microscope and could suffer the same fate as Binance or CZ.
722  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price $45k by ending of 2023: AI prediction on: November 22, 2023, 08:45:40 PM
I think 45k$ is too far for the end of this year, plus the news of the resignation of the CEO of Binance which has shaken the market a bit, whatever it is, it looks like 40k$ will not be achieved this year and will likely rise again in early 2024.
and after the halving we will see a fairly stable increase until the end of the year.

Yeah, there is a news about CZ and Binance, but if you look at the market, it wasn't that affected negatively. On the other hand, we continue to have a jump, the price is more than $37,000 and the increased is 1.x% in the last 24 hours. So given that how this news was released and yet the market didn't take a dent? I think the market will remain bullish up to the end of the year.

So maybe the AI got it right, or the market is really going at that price at the end of the year because majority of us, or at least myself is seeing prices like $40,000-$50,000 next month. Let's see how it goes, bullish sentiment is still predominant in this market.
723  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your perception about crypto games? on: November 22, 2023, 08:00:10 PM
There are varied crypto games we tend to be fond of that does rely on bullrun to maintain playbase. Another words they perform fine in bull market.

What are your views or perceptions about such games.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but I don't think that crypto based gambling site or gamblers themselves rely on crypto's bull run to continue with their habits. Even at the bear market you will continue to see gamblers seeking fun and entertainment.

So regardless of what cycle we are in, gamblers will be gamblers. Not sure where you get this observation though. On the contrary, gamblers might play more on the bear market as the price is at a low as compare to a bull run wherein the price goes up and so is the transaction fees, although we have seen in right now like in BTC because of Ordinals and BRC-20.
724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in psychic betting? on: November 22, 2023, 07:36:15 PM
I remember the story of the Octopus predicting the winner of Fifa but I consider it a mere coincidence nothing else for the record even the Octopus got 2 predictions wrong out of 14 which says what is the reality and I don't really dream about betting but only about big melons all the time, not sure why though. Grin

But we all have some kind of superstition thing to do when we want to do something, like wearing a lucky shirt for an interview or holding the same spot when you want your team to win, and so on.

Yup, this is the first thing that comes to my mind, animals predicting the outcome of the football game. So it's either you believed them or not, sort of a superstitious believed as more of us gamblers are very superstitious individuals.

So for me, this could be just mere coincidence, I mean it's a 50/50 chance that the animals might predict the correct winner. But it's better to rely on our own intuition and analysis rather that rely on someone, even a person or individual to predict the winner.

Welcome to the Bitcointalk forum

New casino sites come up using the web3 method, whether this is a safe method or not. Several other casinos have launched something similar by connecting the wallet to the casino which is considered a simple but slightly risky method. On the other hand most users prefer to separate their wallets without connecting them directly.

Right, most of us are still very traditional,  I mean in the beginning you only need a wallet address, but as crypto world evolved, many wallets have been created and now you can connect them directly to any platforms, including the new web3 gambling sites.

So in any case, it is still up to us whether we wanted to take that risk or not.

But in seems that this platform knows what they are doing as I have said, crypto world is moving very fast and now the gambling world is being open to this kind of games and decentralized features. So goodluck to anyone who is going to try them and hopefully can get back to the community as far as their experience goes.

And it was reported that Jermell Charlo has vacated another belt or shall we shall strip because he wasn't able to defend the belt, Jermell Charlo Vacates IBF 154-Lb Title; Bakhram Murtazaliev Vs. Jack Culcay Likely For Belt

First it was his WBO belt that was stripped because he wasn't able to defend it against Tim Tszyu because obviously, he goes for Canelo for a bigger paycheck.

Now, it the IBF that stripped him of his 154 lbs belt. And then the organization will have Bakhram Murtazaliev Vs. Jack Culcay fight for the vacant belt.

Maybe we can see unification in the future Tim Tszyu vs the winner of the IBF belt.

728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: David Benavidez Vs Demetrius Andrade Interim WBC Super Middleweight title fight on: November 21, 2023, 11:02:29 PM
David Benavidez says that this fight is still 50/50. And that's how he respect Demetrius Andrade and he even give credits Andrade for making the negotiations very easy, without any fuzz. And so this fight could be the biggest for Benavidez, and obviously, another step for Canelo which is their plan after all. And here is the live press conference, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtHhusx2SCQ

If there is a trash talking in this fight, it's his brother against Charlo, here is the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLzf-TnKolE

And it's interesting that this fight is at 163 lbs? because as Benavidez Jr says, Charlo has gone through a lot (mental issues), but then attack him by saying that he doesn't have the discipline, LOL.
729  Economy / Speculation / Re: This bullish momentum - Breaking through the $35,000 mark on: November 21, 2023, 10:33:14 PM

In my opinion, it much healthier for Bitcoin if it reaches the $45k price of Bitcoin as it has strong supply in that zone. That would be the last price for Bitcoin to reach this month or next month incase there is a strong demand cause by the news before it went down for retracement at $30k.The price is currently consolidating, and I think it waits for a news to come to determine which direction the will go. Stay tuned!

If there is a consolidation then it is already happening above $34 and reaching $36 bracket. The price of bitcoin have stayed above $35k for more than a month and that is a good signal that the spot is a strong resistance that it is trying to get out from. We are both waiting for the next move after this spot but I'm seeing the price further going up with the end of the year as activities for the year may cause some momentum on the cryptocurrency market and bitcoin is surely going to take the lead further up.

Consolidation also moves as well, previously, it was between $26,000-$28,000. Now as we get over with it, could be consolidation is happening at $35,000-$38,000. And that's why we have seen a lot of resistance along that price. Of course, it's not that bad, volume is still good, indicating that the bulls have total control of the market and looking at the biggest barrier, which is $40,000.

So $35,000 right now is somewhat the support, and again, hoping that at least the end of the year, we can punch that $40,000 and then be ready next year as we approach the block halving.
730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Two Carreer skill benefit of gambling on: November 21, 2023, 10:13:20 PM
There exist over one million and one reason why people hate gambling, but few benefits of gambling can make a player to outsmart his colleagues in the office. Or even in an interview. I was able to check how gambling benefits relate to what HR officers look out for in a candidate before hiring them. There are 2 main benefit of gambling that improves the major skills people look out for in an employee in every offices.

1. Critical thinking: there have never been any job opening that doesn't require candidates to have this skill, because every company needs it to grow. And under critical thinking include skills like problem solving, idealist etc.

2. Socialization: Mainly the corporate world will call it interpersonal relationship. It's a very crucial skill anywhere we find ourselves in the world. And gamblers who participate in board games, easily develop the skill. When in the office, they'll always socialize and make friends with co-workers.

Personally, I've experienced these two, in my daily conversation with people. And realized that my responses are now more effective than it used to be in the past, before I began gambling. I'd always think fast and respond accurately what the next person wants to hear. And most times it makes them laugh.  Grin

There are other benefits of gambling, and how it has helped your gambling life. It'll be great if you shared some of it with us. Cheers.

Not against gambling by any means, but I guess we can have this two, critical thinking and socialization acquire even without playing or gambling. I mean we are already born with this traits we just have to sharpen it up as we grow and mature.

And there could be other ways, theoretically, we can go to school and improved our critical thinking, or maybe we have other experience it life that made us interpret and then make the correct decisions. And games like slots machines or luck base, do we really need critical thinking?

Same with socialization, as a human being, we have friends and families or even if we meet new individual, we might developed chemistry with them as we go along.

Also another question is:

Code:
https://www.sea01.com/

Related to your website? Looks the same though, so I will assume that you might have bought it as well to protect your websites from others that might register your name and maybe pull some scams.

Anyhow, they've got their signature campaigns, and it might be good if they are paying in stable coins as the price of Bitcoin tx though is off the roof, just saying.
Hello! This link is also from Seabet.io. This link is not a scam. Since our website is a global service, in some specific countries, we have agents, and we provide links for them. If you encounter other links and not sure about them, you can contact our customer service on our website to confirm them first.

Ok, thanks for the clarification, I initially though that this could be scam sites as it is very similar to your site and the UI itself.

And I do agree that you seems to be very active here in our community answering questions and doubts from your users. Another thing is that this is what gamblers are looking for, great support from the platform itself and it could also be a indication that you intend to stay very long in this community.

So keep it up.
732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When does the moment come when the gambler loses control? on: November 20, 2023, 09:00:51 PM
There is an opinion that the greatest dependence on gambling is formed at the moment of a big win. The player understands that money can be earned LIKE THIS. This is a fairly common opinion.

But I believe that the greatest dependence on gambling appears at the moment of loss, when the player admits in his head the idea that he could earn so much. He is disappointed, but wants to recoup. It is at this moment that the desire comes to play again and again in order to return to the previous state.

What do you think about it?

I think for me, it's more on when you experience that losing streak and then you may want to comeback again and again and to recoup. So like in 2 days of gambling, well yeah, you win some, but it's not enough for you. So obviously, you will go back and try your luck again and see if you can comeback and win or continue with that losing streak. So naturally, we all know that the odds are not going to be in your side, the longer you play.

So you loses all control that you have, your decision is clouded and all you want to think is to play and chase and hope that you are going to win.

But definitely that will not be the case for the majority of us. As compare to winning, maybe you may stop for a day or two and just enjoy the money or maybe you can even think that you will not play again because it's very hard to replicate that success.
733  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bye Bye Bear Market :) on: November 20, 2023, 08:33:23 PM
I couldn't say if right now it is a bull market or that it is about to go up as it is, because at any time anything can happen with bitcoin, but I see that there are many articles that talk about how a good price can be generated for this December and possibly a new ATH could be activated, I don't know, but it may be like that, if not, then it doesn't matter, the price is growing, I would like to close the year with $50k, it would be something great because that would be the case There are many who are as big believers in bitcoin as they are silent, as they always have Been , but I do believe that the price will not go down this month or the rest of the month.

New all time high this December? I doubt that it's going to happen, we will not be having that kind of spike though, we have to make a gain of more of more than 100% at the current price of Bitcoin. Not saying that it might not happen, but the probability is not there as it will take a lot of money from investors. So it's better that we remain with the pattern, we will have to wait for the block halving to happen and then in the next 2 years, new all time high can be reach.

That's how the market's ecosystem is, we don't want a artificial pump because Bitcoin is not known to be that market, that kind of movement is more on the altcoin side. As I have explain in other thread, it's a pump and dump scheme, nothing more.
734  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I go with Bitcoin or Altcoins for the upcoming bull run cycle? on: November 20, 2023, 08:13:40 PM
When it comes to investment I believe everyone have a responsibility of doing their personal research before buying any coin. It’s important you check the coin’s previous history and trend to determine what to do and also check the utility of such token in order to be sure you’re in a safe place.

Sometimes history don't repeat itself because previously people got benefit from dogecoin when it pumped but now the price is still lower and there is no information then when will it come higher again. Bitcoin always proves to be beneficial coins as compared to altcoins so without investigation one can believe that bitcoin will make their wishes true but if we leave bitcoin and put our trust on altcoins then it is possible that we will face huge losses in future.

From utility of a token one can decide about the importance of coins also check the market cap so you will easily find about good altcoins. In Altcoins if someone buy now ethereum then positive effects of halving can also be a reason for boosting value of ethereum and other important alt coins.

Altcoins is more volatile that Bitcoin, and so even though in the last bull run or even if we can go back previously like in 2017, there are a lot of altcoin that gain more than Bitcoin in terms of percentage to their last all time high. But then again, it's altcoin so it's hard to predict and the risk is very high. Like you said, Doge or even Shiba in the last bull run, we didn't expect that they are going to be the altcoin hype and craze and maybe a lot of us here make some good profits out out if. But it's hard to time that market because as it could be just a pump and dump and if you are late then you could be trap.

So for the majority who have been in the market long enough, then Bitcoin could be their majority holding, at least you have nothing to worry and can sleep at night and waking up tomorrow with a good increase and profit, simple as that.
735  Economy / Speculation / Re: What did you think will happen to Bitcoin before January? on: November 19, 2023, 11:12:39 PM
With my analysis and observation, I think before January there will be an inflation in Bitcoin. This coin have depreciate to it stop limit, that is where it can not further depreciate again.
And whenever this coin gets to this point, it reverses back and then boom and trust me it's about time.
Which of the coin are you talking about because I know quite well that bitcoin have that time, because bitcoin don't depreciate in value that much, basically bitcoin price fluctuates and no coin that  survive what bitcoin do survive in cryptocurrency industry, I believe that bitcoin is a coin that have its on way of regulations and degradation, it doesn't lose value drastically like other coins that have a little potential, in January it's obvious that instead of the price of bitcoin depreciate it rather increases.

I think he is talking about Bitcoin, however, like like the majority of us here, this is just his wild educated guess, with no TA backup. At least if someone will predict that by January the price is going down (that's how I interpret his post with words such as depreciate), they could have some analysis of their own.

And with the way that the price is moving this month, we might see the bullish sentiments still continuing up to the ends of the year or even at the start of 2024. And if by chance his predictions happen to be true that the price is going down in January, then we should simply take advantage of it and buy more because in the next coming months we will see the catalyst for a bull run which is the block halving.
736  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Aptos Fake/Scam Airdrop Site on: November 19, 2023, 10:40:27 PM
Good catch, as far I know, GoDaddy is very quick to response to this kind of complaints. Did my part already,



In any case that this is not address by GoDaddy, I know someone inside that company, maybe I will try to reach to him and tell that there is a phishing site using their company. But let's wait first and again, as I have said, they are fast so let's hope that this is still the case.

I am just curious: are forum users still running behind the Airdrop scam? I mean, Airdrop is totally a scam; it doesn't matter if you get worthless tokens or compromise your wallet through fake links. At the end of the day, you are a loser. You are spending your time and getting nothing. I will advise you to just stay away from airdrops, so you don't need to identify fake or real airdrops. Keep in mind that nothing is free in the world; you have to lose something when you want to get something free. Anyway, thanks for sharing the phishing site.

Yeah, but still there are a lot of gullible users, maybe newbie in the world of crypto and they think that airdrops is still a thing even in 2023. And there could still be legitimate airdrops out there, but not the kind of money that it used to be way back in 2017 wherein airdrop is really worth something.

Let's go back to the topic and not talk about Garcia vs Duarte as they have their own thread.

This fight is still in December, and there's one interview on Prograis and I quote,

Quote
“I feel like this fight is me stepping into my superstardom. That's what it is. It's me getting what I deserve.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/regis-prograis-on-haney-showdown-this-fight-me-stepping-into-my-superstardom--179366

It could be true that he might be recognized as the man in 140 lbs right now if he beat Devin Haney. As we have said, he is a live dog because he has the power to knock out anyone at this division and Haney has a weak chin.

But there is still another man in Teofimo Lopez before Prograis can lay to the crown at 140 lbs.

I am not sure if anyone noticed it but why the domain address has “9” in it? I mean the ANN banner in OP says it’s Seabet.io however whenever I am clicking it, the address bar shows seabet9.io
Your concern has already been addressed and confirmed already. You can see the reply from OP below.

Hello! We use Seabet9.io as our marketing link for Seabet.io. We want to assure you that we prioritize the integrity of our services and the trust of our users. We do not engage in any form of scam, and maintaining a positive reputation is of utmost importance to us.


It's sad to see my country as one who does not have access to this website. Would really want to see the actual website and the games you offer. But anyways, congratulations and welcome to this forum seabet team.

Ahh cheers mate. That make sense. I was more excited about the affiliate program and its discussion so might have missed that reply. I am not sure how it benefits them but sure they doing it after some math behind it. It would be interesting to see how affiliate program will help influencers like me who keeps doing CPA offers on various micro tasking sites.

I just hope anyone signing up via such sites won’t bounce off just because of the Website name. Did they bought that domain because it was already registered by someone and to overcome the scam they bought that one also?

Also another question is:

739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Casinos with Online and Offline version, Are they the same? on: November 19, 2023, 08:56:29 PM
It's pretty harder for an offline version to scam people than they do online, players can easily file a complaint and the authorities will take action quickly for fear of public outrage, our offline casinos here are very quick to address even small issues because they will lose clients and they will also their license, compared to online version even if they have a hundred complaints they can continue to operate because it's hard to charge online casinos.
And if online casinos say you are a cheater, they don't need to prove you are, because they will deny to show proof because they are afraid that their security system will be exposed and cheaters will find a way to manipulate it.
So your chances to withdraw your earnings offline are better online provided that you play fair.
We will probably be mistaken when we consider that online gambling are the ones that always have the openness for scam related activities and assumed that the physical casinos are less involved in this, scam is what we can't predict how, where or who can engage in making such attack or those that will be heavily affected from the attack as well, as long as it is humanbeing who were involved in this, they can do and undo.
There is no doubt that there can be scams in physical or offline casinos as well, but you can't deny the fact that it's easier for an online casino platform to scam its customers and even run away with the funds since most online cryptocurrency casinos these days don't even acquire a proper license at the beginning and they keep operating without it until or unless the authorities threaten them to close their platform down if they don't get a proper license.

The same thing cannot be said for a physical casino because a physical casino establishment can't just move from one place to another after scamming its customers and it is relatively harder for it to successfully scam the gamblers because everything is done physically and in front of everyone which reduces the chances for gamblers to get scammed.

Scam in physical casinos? I'm not sure what you mean by it, very hard to pull this one specially if you are playing in big casinos. Maybe you are referring to illegal traditional casinos (if there is such cases), or illegal bookies. But still though, if you play on this kind of fly by night, you should know your chances. As per my experience, but this kind of illegal bookies has some limitations but they will tell you up front. Specially if you win big, let's say $1000 in sports beating, they will acknowledge your win but they will tell you that they can't pay that in full, instead they will give you like $500 for it.

But for big casinos, they will not simply pull this off, it's hard to move from one place to another, LOL. They already have the reputation and I doubt that they will do this act. As for online, it's very easy for them to have a lot of excuse not to pay for big wins, hence there are a lot of scam accusations here in our community.

How many people have you been able to change after they get addicted to gambling? And what is there level of addiction?

I don't know, even though I know a lot of gamblers that become addicted, I haven't had the chance to change their ways.

From my own experience, I get to know that those gamblers who are secretly gambling in their rooms and develop the addiction habit have the biggest problem, gambling addiction is like 'wanting more' and never getting enough, you will have all day thinking about gambling, maybe if you do this or you do that, maybe the result will be different.

Yeah, with the proliferation of online gambling, maybe there are persons that you really don't expect to be gambling addict because they are all playing at the comfort of their home or in their bedroom for privacy. Specially during the pandemic years, 2020-2021, there could be a lot that turn into gambling and become addicted.

I was able to talk sense into two different addicted gamblers and they also get help from family members, but the major reason why they too so long in their addiction is because they don't open up to anybody, they kept it all inside of them and it's killing them.

It's good that you help someone, and for sure if feels good. Hopefully there could be other that will reach out, not necessarily from this community or what. But someone who realized what is going on, called a help line and talk to someone before it's too late.
