7322  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The possibility of cryptocurrency regulation in the metaverse on: January 31, 2022, 02:15:02 PM
The metaverse is the universe of virtual reality.it is like a 3d virtual world where all human beings connect and live most crypto regulations in various sectors have been done.
Stricter regulations on personal data, financial data can be pulled out from digital world, which only goes to show how much coverage blockchain tech has gotten around the globe. So when crypto market is booming why is it that only a few countries have adopted crypto, it is because they do not know what it really is, there are many countries who have banned crypto, but those bans don't hold water.
In reality, no country can ban decentralized cryptocurrency as it has strong security that can not be changed, and metaverse will indeed promote more privacy as it is built solely for virtual existence and alias can be used to operate in the metaverse but then since metaverse is a new development, countries that have adopted cryptocurrency such as El Salvador can easily create a centralized regulated meta-project too.

Hello bitcointalknairs please I will like to get clarifications on something, I received an email from trading brokers that I can lunge my funds with them and they execute trades on my behalf but I am afraid of the legitimacy of such services because most of them always turn out to be scammers.
What is your experience with trading brokers?
No. No matter if they are legitimate or not never let someone touch your money and do the trading on your behalf but based on what you have said I really think that they are not legitimate asking their users to do the trading on your behalf for me it looks like it is a scam attempt but not matter if it is legitimate or not never entrust your money to others they can easily ruin your money.
I think its okay if to lend money as long as the site is known to be trusted because there are now services like staking, lending and similar where you can earn passively but in return your going to transfer your funds on them.

In the case of op, it looks like he is contact randomly, the same thing happens to me where I get lots of direct messages on different social medias that I use. They are obviously a scam so do not ever try to get lured on what they are saying. If you want you can use sites which offer copy trade, this is a nice way to make profits from trading but it is a less risky way because you hold your funds with you.
The point is there are some legitimate stockbrokers out there and if you are lucky to get a good stockbroker all your trading and financial investments are safe and will yield a good profit in the long run, but again in choosing the one to trust one needs to do due diligence to avoid scam because the number of scam stockbroker is high.

Screenshot source: https://www.livescore.com/en/football/africa-cup-of-nations/quarter-final/egypt-vs-morocco/528258/

Today's match ended unexpectedly with Morocco making the 1st score but at the end of the full time lose the match by 2:1 just one Egyptian player made the difference in the match, I guess this tournament is going to end in a way that will leave every speculator of the guide.
7325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: AFCON - Quarter Finals. on: January 30, 2022, 03:10:51 PM
Today I'm betting on Egypt hopefully make it up for tunisia loss. The last game of Egypt against ivory coast the team showed that they are really dangerous on making individual threat especially Mohamed Salah. Morroco also has a big chance of winning but we didn't see their team against a strong team from the beginning of this competition. Egypt has about 3.7 odd so it gonna be a good profit if they did it today
I guess you would have a rethink on betting Egypt to win Morocco, as Morocco is in an early lead with a 1 goal which, this match is going to be a tough one as both teams are prepared to win in high spirit, bit hope Egypt will not give Morocco the chance to play defensive football just to protect they goal till the 90 minutes.
7326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First Bitcoin City on: January 30, 2022, 05:21:30 AM
it can't be denied that the first bitcoin city was el salvador, because el salvador dared to take the first step to adopt bitcoin, and make bitcoin a legal payment, even though there was a lot of criticism from other countries but el salvador didn't care and nayeb bukele still made bitcoin a currency legal money, although now there are many accusations that the El Salvador economy is destroyed because of adopting bitcoin, but Nayeb bukele still makes bitcoin a legal currency.
They did not listen to the warnings of other countries about the potential risk that they might get on adopting bitcoin and now they are facing their consequences. Their country is now said to be on a huge debt because btc price plunges too much. Is this the end of El Salvador? Will El Salvdaor sell at a loss and permanently quit on adopting bitcoin? No, I do not think so, El Salvador have done some bitcoin projects before and they are planning to do more when things get settled.

I think this is what they say that bitcoin can destroy someone's economy, no wonder why no countries other than El Salvador made bitcoin as a legal tender because they are scared of what it can do to them.

There are indeed many rumors that say El Salvador has a huge debt due to the falling Bitcoin price, and there is a possibility that El Salvador
will stop adopting Bitcoin. But I think it's just a rumor spread by other countries that really don't like El Salvador's decision, which El Salvador
legalized Bitcoin as a legal tender. After all, Nayib Bukele as president of El Salvador must have had a backup plan in case the Bitcoin price fell,
no way Nayib Bukele with a background as one of the successful young entrepreneurs in El Salvador, make reckless decisions. I believe El Salvador
can prove to the world that they decided to adopt Bitcoin is right and can make other countries that are afraid to adopt Bitcoin can change their minds.
This rumor is so not true, how can El Salvador be in debt because of Bitcoin market fluctuation when there are not trading bitcoin but buying for long-term purposes and you can only lose when you sell Bitcoin below the purchased price.
The last I hard was the president's readiness to buy more if the dip continues, El Salvador is not using only Bitcoin as its currency the primary currency remains the dollar and the GDP is still in the dollar and not Bitcoin.

Oops this means we will add a new code in our signature  Smiley VIP Level is another way to attract players they will choose which one is more profitable
Especially if we have a weekly/monthly rakeback program it means we are ready to compete hopefully we see it in the near future or at least next month
Yes and is better with some promotion.

Why is better? because most off promotion deposits have something people really hate, is because stupid wagering with more than x30-x40. VIP Level Reward, Rakeback, Race Contest, Gambling Contest is better rather than promotion.

Hoping we have a good VIP Level on BJ Fun.

Actually you can peek at it now it's just not activated https://blackjack.fun/vip  from what I see VIP here requires more wager at least 1 BTC to reach the first VIP
But this is not final there may still be updated before it is actually activated may the little player also enjoy it not only for whales Cheesy
The desire to reach the VIP level may be delayed for some of the small bag holders as the wagering amount is the tier to 1btc but then I know the blackjack fun team always listen to feedback and always take actions that will serve the interest of their player and as a new gambling site reducing the VIP level wagering amount will help to attract more players to the site.

OP better lock this thread because he is out of reason
I think you guys misunderstood the purpose of this thread which is for discussion purposes, am not trying to make a judgement on the subject matter of trying to prove a point rather am pointing out the abnormality in the system.
Football is a widely celebrated sports game that requires the physical involvement of the players but the other aspect is winning 🏅 and this is subject to so many rules just like gambling games within the same environment I will always say there is only a tin line between football & gambling.
7329  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: True Value of BTC on: January 29, 2022, 05:58:17 AM
Hi,

What is the true value of BTC? If we take aside supply/demand and focus on the amount it costs to produce 1 BTC in terms of mining costs, what is that value and how do we calculate that?

Thanks
No asset will have value if there is no demand and supply, there won't be a need for bitcoin mining activities if the demand and supply are taken away because the will be zero transaction for the miners to confirm which automatically result in zero block reward for the miners so ultimately that can never happen.

I'm a little confused, does the post counting changed or will we still follow the Thursday as the end of the week for posting because I checked the spreadsheet and it doesn't have the record yet for Round 29 so I am a little bit confused in all of this. Hope that the manager can answer this.

  • Posts after 23:59 UTC Saturday will be counted towards the following week.
This is the latest information on weekly post counts and it's on the first page. Always read the announcement page of any campaign and follow up with your manager to avoid mistakes[/list]

That just sets the boundary and difference of it.

It's entirely different and we're just used to the type of gambling with sports and we always see bookmakers and that's probably why when it comes to sports, the first thing that comes to our minds is all about gambling.

Because for a long time, it's always associated with it but not just because there's a sport, it's always connected to it, it's not like that.
This is the more reason we try to differentiate between gambling and sports games and try to find a partway between the two, it's either gambling is detached from sport or there should be no featuring of physical sports games on bookmakers. I take my country for instance gambling is prohibited by law but again football betting is allowed and is even advertised on national television stations.
7332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If football is Legal in most countries why is Gambling Prohibited on: January 28, 2022, 09:00:39 AM
But what baffles me is football is the highest gambling around the world but yet it is seen as legal meanwhile gambling is illegal in some of those countries and I can't stop to wonder what an irony this has become.
If you think of football as gambling then all sports will also be considered gambling and all athletes are gamblers  Wink.
Football is sports and not gambling but a competition to grab trophy and get prizes, and if you still say football as gambling then no football athlete becomes addicted by continuing to play and lose a lot of things due to playing football, whereas gambling can be addictive.
I mean you have to consider many factors before equating activities with other activities.
I think you guys are getting it all wrong when I said gambling encompasses all the components of the game both the players and the fans benefit from the dividends of all, why are they playing for the price which the team to win is uncertain unless in the case of match-fixing but on the other way round the outcome is not known for both the player and the fans who have placed a bet on the games.
7333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If football is Legal in most countries why is Gambling Prohibited on: January 27, 2022, 09:15:37 PM
it's all gambling because the teams are playing for the price.
So can we say, a group singing contest (choir/orchestra) a gambling too since these people are singing for the price? So do a dance competition? Come on! You're out of context I think and the way you see it is somehow wrong. Take it as a competition on talent and skills and not just it's always plain gambling insight.

Well, those tests of talent and skills in the subject of competition, football is also a gamble in its entirety, as the team competes for the ultimate price in the game and also fans can bet on those football matches these bets make the most of the revenue the football bodies make.
I clearly understood your point on this but for the sake of comparison that is why I open this thread for discussion.
7334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: AFCON Round of 16. on: January 27, 2022, 08:26:48 PM
capable squad.

TEAM THAT SUCCESSFULLY PASSED TO THE QUARTER FINAL:

1. Burkina Faso
2. Tunisia
3. Gambia
4. Cameroon
5. Senegal
6. Morocco
7. Egypt
8. Equatorial Guinea


NEXT QUARTER-FINAL MATCH:

1. Gambia vs Cameroon

2. Burkina Faso vs Tunisia

3. Egypt vs Morocco

4. Senegal vs Equatorial Guinea



I think teams that will go into the semi finals are Cameroon,Tunisia,Egypt and Senegal. Choosing all the favorites in this matches to go into the next round but i wouldnt be surprised if someone from the underdogs wins a match over penalties or something like that. This tournament is still really wierd and low goalscoring.

From the look of the performance of all this teams, it can either be  Egypt or Cameroon that may likely win the AFCON tournament because this are the two strong teams as it stands now.  Cameroon have higher tendency of winning,  Cameroon has been doing greatly in their performance from the beginning.
Well, the four finalists for this round of the tournament have all learned from their previous games and in their next matches, I expect a new level of football skills as they need to upgrade the standard to list represent the international standard.


Looking at this table for this round I see Cameroon having the upper hands since they are home to win 🏆 the cup of the nation this year.

Football is a game which big or small can play that doesn't have any effect. If gambling should be legal it will affect the young people coming up that is why gambling is restricted in many countries.  There can be a reason though.
Football being a game for all ages is the sports side of it which is good for recreational purposes but when you talk about competition and tournament where the team is playing for the price and fans are interested in the wining of the bets, that's the angle am looking at it from taking Fifa, UEFA Champions League, and other local and international football competitions, for example, it's all gambling because the teams are playing for the price.
7336  Economy / Gambling discussion / If football is Legal in most countries why is Gambling Prohibited on: January 27, 2022, 09:54:36 AM
The game of football is one of the most celebrated and loved sports around the world and most countries have an official football team, which gives the game legal backing because the government and competition organizers make a huge budget for these games. But what baffles me is football is the highest gambling around the world but yet it is seen as legal meanwhile gambling is illegal in some of those countries and I can't stop to wonder what an irony this has become.
What is gambling?
According to Wikipedia:

This makes more points clearer or am I missing something?

Very cheap this time with bigger prize pool. So don’t worry you have another chance at biggest award of 2500 bucks.  Tongue

Well actually we might get lower than that, Yahoo added the disclaimer that Betnomi has the right to reduce the grand final prizepool if we have less than 20 players on average on the series. Pretty sure we are going to get max 15 on average for sure

this is going to be an exciting event as the minimum gets in is $10 which is quite flexible for many that want to take part in the tournament.

Well actually 10 euro ( $11.32) because the site seems to use euro as for their main currency in poker. Small differences there, no biggie

Anyway the first round has been listed, feel free to check and register on it if you are planning to play this weekend. The password is series1 and currently we have 3 players registered so far
Ok thanks for that correction I actually got the 10dollar thing from the place I get the information from and not on the site, this tournament is going to be the best experience for me on the betnomi site as it will also represent my early experience on betnomi let go all in for the tournament.
Best of luck everyone
7338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: AFCON Round of 16. on: January 26, 2022, 05:23:04 PM
Ivory Coast - Egypt

Bookmakers give some unrealistic odds for this match: 1.3 - 4.6 - 15.0
Egypt before the start of the tournament was considered a favorite, and now the chance of winning it is 15? How is this possible? With Salah in the game, I think they are very underrated. Easy bet on Egypt. Thoughts?
Well the odds changes with time it may be possible to see 15 odds if the match is 2 to 3 days away but as the date and time of match come close the odds keep reducing, check the current odds for today match screen short.
If one bet on this games last 48 hours the odds will definitely be bigger than what you are seeing.
7339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: AFCON Round of 16. on: January 26, 2022, 02:40:04 PM
Today's Ivory Coast - Egypt match is going to be very interesting. The Ivory Coast team seems to be the favorite, but the team in which Mohamed Salah is playing on should definitely never be underestimated. It will be a tight game, so I wonder whether to bet that will a red card be shown also in this match? This is the norm in the recent African Cup of Nations games and the @3.75 odd are encouraging.
What is this red card everyone has been complaining about is the stage of the tournament, I guess the referees have over-pampered the players in the group stage and have changed that in this normal stage, take Nig vs Tunisia game for example the Nigeria frontline player that received the red card is worth it because of the impact of the offense on the other player, this is the qualifying stage and the coaches have cautioned their player to make it a win-win situation by all means.
Let's see how tonight's game will go before we can make further analysis.
7340  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Company on: January 26, 2022, 02:28:54 PM
I suggest don't trust trading brokers because most the brokers don't care about your funds and mostly loss suffered, so the best way to trade at yourself and only investors can care their funds and others can't so if you can experiment then you can start with little amount and start from $100.
maybe not all trading brokers as you say, but indeed the % that can be relied on is very small and always looking for profit for their own interests is very thick and this is clearly very detrimental.
indeed it is better to rely on yourself and of course you are right that starting with a small nominal so you can know and can be learning at the same time. because with what you do yourself, you will be able to quickly find out where the error might be and will not repeat it.
And I was at the salon today some guys were discussing they trade brokers so I took my time to listen to them speak later on I got to discover how broken and angry they are with the broker as their complained bitterly about how bad they stockbroker and manager have treated the fund.
One cried out about how he have been waiting for his funds for over some months now and no longer in contact with the stockbroker,
