7321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance is a threat to the crypto space on: June 07, 2019, 12:55:36 PM
Agree to disagree... whenever power is centered on one person or a group of people, there will always be dictatorships and manipulation.. I see a lot of people celebrating Cz on Twitter for delisting bsv.. but what they don't understand is Cz poses a greater threat to decentralization than faketoshi will ever be... even vitalik buterin agrees to this

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.coinspeaker.com/vitalik-buterin-bitcoin-sv-scam-binance/amp/
I think it is not a dictatorship to remove a coin from your own exchange. I mean he is the owner of binance and he doesn't want bsv on binance, how much more normal that would be ? He has the right to delist any coin he wants and we should not be able to judge him for what he does. He can delist bitcoin itself if he wants because its his place and what you react is your own answer to him.

After he delisted bsv nobody cared because nobody cares for bsv and its a shitty coin by a shitty person which means he is not a dictator, he is an elected person for us and our votes are our own funds that we either trade on binance or if he does something we dislike we move our money to a different exchange.
7322  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SEC charges Kik ICO for issuing unregistered ICO on: June 07, 2019, 10:52:16 AM
I agree that there should be laws that protect the investors and they should be able to not get scammed. However sometimes it gets way too much, for example people invested into kik themselves and the token is going for half of what it used to be is still fine, there are people who invested into bitcoin that lost 70% of their money as well, going to SEC and telling them to get kik and get their money back is just a cheap way of complaining.

I do not think it should be done like this, maybe add rules beforehand and then start since that would at least put the rules in both the company and the investor and if the price still goes lower than we would at least not have this type of SEC involvement.
7323  Economy / Economics / Re: First licensed crypto-BANK! on: June 07, 2019, 08:52:32 AM
I got into crypto to run away from greed of banks, I don't know how this crypto bank will be but in the end banks to tend to make money in ways I do not support and that is why as long as this is not a totally different type of bank I will not be liking it.

I think banks should not get into crypto since the reason why crypto was started in 2008-2009 was because of the 2008 banking crisis, those dudes made horrible mistakes with mortgages and put all those toxic ones into a bond and sold that and even made those bond together and then sold that leveraging their already horrible positions to a spike and then they crashed, what happened afterwards? None of them got punished for it and they even got bonuses for job well done and everyone in the world paid for it, I am sorry but if crypto becomes a bank like that I will start using fiat instead of crypto.
7324  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency, KYC and Terrorism on: June 07, 2019, 06:37:20 AM
There has been a lot of the gather as much money as possible and then run away with it type of ICO's for sure, hell there have been openly doing that ones as well but the terrorist part is something I don't know. I mean I have been around for 6 years and I haven't heard of that terrorist scenario ever before this topic, is that legit? Where did you find that news ?

Remember in the crypto world (and honestly in real world too) people are telling many lies and many made up scenarios so this could be one of those, we have our fair share of conspiracy theorists in our ranks so without any proof do not believe everything you read. If it is true and terrorists do use these kinds of things then there must be a true source for that information and with that we can find ways to protect ourselves from them.
7325  Economy / Economics / Re: Manila Residents to Be Paid in Ether for Cleaning Up Polluted Habitat Area on: June 06, 2019, 05:49:57 PM
Think about it this one has everything we all love. It is using a crypto do the job, it is helping the poor find a way to earn money and it is cleaning the world from pollution. It has all the good things about a community work that is dream of not only one group but three groups both crypto lovers, socialists that wants government work for unemployed and environmentalist that love cleaning pollution.

All because Manila decided to use crypto for good instead of just banning it or taxing it like so many other nations. Governments could tax crypto income and get paid in crypto as well and use that crypto for betterment of our nations. If I make 100 bucks profit from cyrpto I can pay 20 bucks in tax (or whatever the tax rate is) in crypto and that crypto will be paid for unemployed people to do something good. PERFECT world.
7326  Economy / Speculation / Re: Little dip in bitcoin market, will it be recovered reach 10k on: June 06, 2019, 04:01:29 PM
I think it will recover but I am not sure how quickly it will do it, we are at a point where the price is so tender and fragile that even one big sale will make sure we go back to bear run times of 2018, just one big sale from some person who wants it to go down, they can literally buy shorts from bitmex and then sell 5 thousand bitcoin all at once and profit insanely with that move.

Hence, first we need to see if that will happen before we go up or not, if we go up without anyone doing something like that then we will be going above 10k easily however if something like that happens I am sure we can go as low as 4.5k or so very quickly. There is no chart or prediction that can see this future, its all about that person with that move in mind doing it or not, there is no technically analysis that can foresee something like that.
7327  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we still expect more from bitcon? on: June 06, 2019, 03:27:14 PM
Depends on the outcome you are expecting. I mean if the price goes up right now then we can go as high as 20k+ and break the all time high but if its not going to happen and passes 10k and you are fine with that then you can expect that to happen, even after this huge correction and dump on the market the price didn't fall more then 10% in a week which is more then we can ask for and I am 100% sure we will be going up very soon. The only question in my mind is how high can we get not will we get high since I am certain we will.

I hope nothing like this happens again when we are going up because the more of these big dumps and corrections that happens the longer it takes to get high and the more time we spend on not high prices the more people start to sell and take out their profits which stops the forward movement.
7328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Best and Fairest Online Gambling Site on: June 06, 2019, 11:44:42 AM
Bovada is not really "crypto" though is it? I mean yeah they do accept bitcoin as payment method but it was an online gambling place without crypto as well and took fiat money from gamblers and existed like that long before they started to accept bitcoin. Now the question is would we support a website that used to be all fiat no crypto and now has crypto option or would we support a place that is purely crypto with no fiat option?

I personally do not like bovada purely because they take fiat too and I dislike fiat, hell if possible I would never use it. So bovada is more like online casino instead of crypto casino and that just doesn't feel like true crypto to me and I would prefer places like stake and what not.
7329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: [Vote] Next coin to be added to Stake.com & Primedice on: June 06, 2019, 09:11:02 AM
Eos would be great right about now. They are doing a lot of works with dapps and even if you do not want to add it for popularity reasons you should for rivalry reasons. If the dapp world created so many eos casinos and stake/primedice wants to just screw them over and make it possible to bet with eos on the website they would add eos and that way people would play on stake instead of some small bad dapp casino.

You would also get the ever increasing fame of eos on your side that way because the team has been working on it very hard lately and the more EOS gets famous the more it becomes inevitable for you to add it to your list as well. All others are fine but please no Bitcoin SV, not here please.
7330  Economy / Gambling / Re: BitcoinCasinoAffiliates.com -Affiliate Program Reviews/Comparisons, News, Events on: June 06, 2019, 08:36:05 AM
It would be still a great starting spot for the newbies. I mean normally where would you get a list of places you can become an affiliate for if you are still a newbie? There are not that many places so having just one website that shows all the websites even if includes bad ones as well is a good thing.

It is then the newbies job to find which of these are good and which of these are bad and check out the places on bitcointalk and online and see if its worth their time and so forth. That is why it is a good "starting point" not the end deal, you would still need to do your own research and eliminate casinos from here and keep only one or two on your own list and then focus on those.
7331  Economy / Gambling / Re: New RTG powered Bitcoin casino on: June 05, 2019, 05:29:41 PM
It didn't opened in mine too when my VPN was open, so I closed my VPN and now it works so I think its more about VPN than the browser. Maybe not all VPN's creates an issue to connect to the website but dotvpn did had issues going to the website but works like a charm when closed.

The weird thing about the website is that even though it looks amazing in design and so forth the OP of the website came here only twice but there have been multiple people here that basically looked down on the questions asked, first of all if you are related to the website then you are hurting them by speaking with such rude behavior and if you are not related then why are you answering. Why would anyone wish to play somewhere where representatives basically humiliate you? Not a chance.
7332  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where do you think Bitcoin will be by the end of 2019? on: June 05, 2019, 03:32:16 PM
If this continues for a little more while than I see it going even higher. Normally when price goes down the dead bell ringers comes out and I love them, whenever they say "bitcoin is going doooown!!" everywhere I realize bitcoin will be going up, it hasn't ever skipped a beat except 2018 for the past 10 years.

Bitcoin could have corrections, it could have rich whales selling coins and it could have many other stuff but in the end bitcoin will keep on rising afterwards. It may take a week or a month or a year but in the end wherever we drop will be our bottom and we will go higher afterwards. We have seen as low as 3200 and now around at 8 thousand we are saying this is a bear run already? Calm down and keep purchasing for cost averaging and wait until we break all time high.
7333  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Market Analysis (Price Action). on: June 05, 2019, 01:37:20 PM
What charts do not tell you that this drop was caused by someone selling over 200 million dollars in bitcoin and the market had to buy that out which dropped the price insanely fast. That wasn't on the chart, you can't predict that.

How could you foresee someone selling over 200 million dollars in bitcoin to market prices when you look at a chart ? Impossible to assume and that is why bitcoin is never done via charts, you can't predict what will happen looking at the charts and draw some lines on it.

Bitcoin is something that is done via just regular old whales doing whatever they want and getting what they want back from it. Dude managed to sell so much coins but also after the price dropped he managed to get back almost the same amount of bitcoins for far cheaper as well, all proven via blockchain watching and the price is lower however he has a ton of dollars with the same amount of bitcoins thanks to this move, that's it.
7334  Economy / Economics / Re: Looking at Bitcoin's price increase via YEARLY LOWS on: June 05, 2019, 12:39:22 PM
By looking only at the yearly lowest dollar value you'll find out that Bitcoin is always  more expensive in a given year than in the previous year. On average, its dollar value increases (at least) 325% p.a. on average (2010 - 2018).

Thoughts, ideas?

Full video at http://y2u.be/5TMygwWv4dc
Yearly low is a good understanding of how it always goes up but it is missing the main point of how it also goes up every year as well. I mean the price is going up for sure but at what cost exactly? Are we really willing to go to 20 thousand dollars and back to 4 thousand dollars again for example? If you were given a switch and make bitcoin go 20 and then drop to 4 would you take it?

Maybe for personal reasons to profit you would but aside from the in a market stance it would be horrible. That is why market lows are great indicators showing how every single year it is going higher and higher and that means in 5-10 years it will be at over 100k for sure but we should also take a look at yearly highs to see the differences and try to at least stabilize it a bit.
7335  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance to open Singapore fiat-to-crypto exchange in April on: June 05, 2019, 08:25:07 AM
I do not know what makes Singapore so special and I have never studied the laws of Singapore in relation to wealthy people. However, I remember that the dude that helped build facebook and basically was the first investor and friend of mark zuckerberg lives there as well.

Eduardo Savarin sued facebook and mark and got his shares and he is wealthy as well and lives in Singapore. Newer kids on the block that makes ton of money somehow all goes to Singapore, it is obvious that they have something that attracts rich people to their country. This could be also the same reason why binance decided to open their first fiat shop in that country as well. We need to check what their laws are like for these things and if possible replicate in our own countries.
7336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is a "Provably Fair" and How does it work? on: June 05, 2019, 07:40:17 AM
Provably fair has been a thing in only crypto gaming as far as I know. Has anyone checked if any fiat casino has any provably fair system implemented ever?

The good part about provably fair is that if you want to play a fair game and not get scammed by the casino or at least want to make sure you are not getting scammed by the casino then you have to play in crypto. That turns a lot of gamblers into crypto lovers as well, people who are not really interested in investment or trading part of crypto and just want to gamble and have fun that came into crypto world because of the provably fair casinos. That can't be too little number of people and too little amount of money that came into crypto world from fiat world just because of the provably fair fact.
7337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I Work As a Sports Trader For a Top 5 Betting Company - AMA on: June 03, 2019, 05:08:36 PM
How many people do actually gamble in a single day globally. I know that is something no one in the world probably knows but knowing the fact that gambling is not allowed in many places on earth and only allowed in small states and cities and nations of the world the fact that there are so many people gambling every single day thanks to online gambling it is definitely a weird feeling.

Like I am pretty sure there is at least 50 million people gambling all around the world every single day. That is of course when gambling is illegal 90%+ of the world. Think how much people would bet regularly if it was allowed everywhere in the world. If you know the answer of "how many people gamble every day in the world" that would be superb to learn.
7338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The "how to" of building a gambling site on: June 03, 2019, 03:29:06 PM
I think mostly the KYC is required when there is a suspicion of double spending as well. Look at what he is saying he was using the website for the instant withdraw feature and he is now asked KYC as well. That is a typical double spending prevention system. If you are registering a place and betting right away instantly and then trying to withdraw instantly right afterwards there is always a risk of double spending. Of course in that case casinos try to get your KYC and if you are scamming them and not paying because of double spending then they will have your name and your information to give the court.

Nobody really wants to deposit and play and leave in a minute, these dudes do it over and over again until they win since if they lose they get the money back from double spending and then they win eventually and try to withdraw instantly.
7339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Joshua suffer a humiliating knock out on: June 03, 2019, 11:35:17 AM
I am sure the Jushua team worked their ass of trying to watch every single game Ruiz played and try to see what his strengths and weakness' are so I am not going to blame them. However it was so obvious that Joshua had absolutely no defense to Ruiz counters that it makes me wonder if they had any plans for it.


I mean if Ruiz counters so well (and that is amazing considering how fat he looks and how slow he looks normally) there is no way you are not going to just not punch him, of course you are going to punch him but there needs to be a bit more defense on Joshuas game, if he played the whole Mayweather game and worked for points instead of hitting hard then he would have been able to just not hit constantly and get hit back but just hit fewer but better. I don't know what could have been the answer but it was obvious that Joshua had absolutely no answer to Ruiz's counters at all for the whole game.
7340  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BSV 90% increase | Scam on: June 01, 2019, 08:24:30 AM
We have always known that BSV is a scam, its nothing new. The owner has a lot of money (and I mean a lot, over a billion dollars in bitcoin) which means he can keep doing whatever he wants, as long as he spends all his money on his fake coin and keeps buying to keep it alive it means the bitcoin market is getting better.

He will have less bitcoins, we won't have to deal with his bsv and many people will be capable of selling their free bsv and make profits all thanks to Craig using his money, it will eventually dry up or if not he will stop and that day we will see that BSV will be going down insanely, not like going down 2018 bear market run type I mean literally going down "less than 1 satoshi so we calculate it with eth" levels because nothing really keeps it high aside from Craig himself.
