741  Economy / Economics / Re: More people now work in clean energy than in fossil fuels on: September 17, 2022, 07:48:03 PM
That's not sometimes weird to see this happening all over the world and especially in the developed countries where they care about the environment more than other countries, using clean energy was always a great goal for governments but as far as I know, this requires more complicated technologies and in the being it's more expensive and needs some more investing compared to fossil fuels. I think using clean energy will decrease the usage of fossil fuels over time, and we are happy to see mining bitcoin is also getting adopted for renewable and clean energies.
The comparison is this, do you want a worse world and cheaper energy that is easier to get, or do you want a better world with a bit more expensive energy prices and more scientists working on making better? I would prefer a better world, and this Russia crisis showed the world that if the nations of the world do not go energy independent then we are going to end up with being depending on dictators.

So, the benefits of renewable energy is higher, maybe not so much great when you look at it today, but in 10 years it would be better for the consumer as well, you would be happier about it than old school sources, and you will have it cheaper by that time as well.

It became a short-term pump.
The same perspective as before, do not expect too much even if it goes to $30k. There's a chance it will go back down as traders and short-term investors are trying to make profits out of it.
It's a good thing for traders to accumulate more funds but you have to know the selling point.
Regarding the upward trend, it may not even happen in 3 more months. All eyes are on Ethereum now.
Unfortunately, I do not know when to sell, I rarely ever sell and when I do I do not sell at the price when it is at the top, I sell it when I can pay my debts or makes a better world for me, or it could give me even better return as a collateral for something.

It means that I follow the first rule, which is accumulating when it is low, I have a good chunk that is fine for me (not good for anyone else) and I am happy with the price points I got in, which means I did alright, but when it comes to selling I doubt that I would be selling at the top, I would probably sell when it is too late. I would prefer not to sell at all if it was possible to be fair.

Actually there was a season that Tottenham were really incredible in the Champions League. In the 2018/19 season they reached the finale but Liverpool beat them 2-0 I'm afraid. They eliminated Dortmund, Manchester City and Ajax respectively after the group stage. It would be really lovely to see them more competitive now even if they don't become as successful as that season.



But for now, they are even struggling against Sporting which started the season in their league badly in fact. Tottenham even had a serious difficulty against Marseille despite their opponent got a red card very earlier in the match. They have a really good lineup now but they can't reflect their EPL performance on the CL for now. This is a group that they should be able to finish at top. Hopefully Conte creates a solution for the rest of the matches to play a more reliable game. The expectation from the team must be to qualify for 1/8-finals at least.
That's the year I am talking about, they had one good year and everyone expected them to be a good team after that, but in reality they weren't that great in EPL during that year neither, and ever since that day they haven't won a league title, an fa cup title, or even went to quarter finals of a champions league run. That was one season and nothing prior or after that which shows them as a good team.

It is normal for them to be facing Sporting and having trouble because if you remove that one single year they got lucky out of your mind, then you will realize that rest of each season was basically like this for them, barely mattering and not considered any good at all.

I checked their KYC policy and they require anyone to complete it first before doing any withdrawals...
As far as I know, they do not require their user(average joe) to undergo the KYC process before they are able to withdraw their money unless they have implemented it after when the signature campaign ended. Plus, what I only know is the manual verification of withdrawals on the admin side when a player do not have an initial deposit -- and that's without KYC.
I have been here for a while and I can say that I have never been asked my KYC before, I am not saying they do not ask it at all, all I am saying is that it is not mandatory like some other places. Some places ask you even if you want to gamble, some others ask you when you want to withdraw even 100 bucks, but blackjack is not one of those places, they only ask it if you gamble a lot I suppose, or maybe they ask it if there is a suspicious thing.

I mean you could still withdraw only 100 bucks and get asked, if they think that there is something wrong with your deposit or withdrawal then they may ask for it. I just lose mostly so my withdrawals are rare and never asked at all.

So what is the best route to spend WoF's?

Save them and spend them all at once?

I was spending my WoF's daily but if it makes more sense to save up, then I'll do that.

Right now getting 50 sats from WoF's.
That depends on what you are trying to do with the WoF,if you want to buy FUN tokens when the price is somewhat down it makes more sense to use them and buy them with the satoshi earned from the spins.If you want to use them all at once which I also think is the best thing to do,most likely you should do so before a good event like on Sundays before the lottery tickets so you can get a lot of them and increase your chances to win (although they remain super minimal no matter what you do) or if you will wait a lot longer and you spin them all before the Lambo draw once every 6 months for example.It all depends on your intention.
I would guess that it depends on how quickly you want money. Some people think that it is better to have a guaranteed 500 fun tokens today then guaranteed 5000 fun tokens next year. I believe that long term is better, I am willing to wait for my WoF if I have to and that means I could get something bigger, but I won't and that means I should be doing it today and then using that to make more money with the fun token investment and keeping it long term. That is my idea of course and others could think differently.

If you are a long term person then getting it now is better, if you are a short term person collect them and use them all at once to get a bigger number all at once right away instead of keep investing for years.
746  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach 45k before this year ends. on: September 15, 2022, 07:29:24 PM
According to predictions from many experts who say that the price range in 2022 is $ 15k to $ 28k, this is increasingly apparent that the price is difficult to reach $ 25k, even more than 6 months the price continues to drop, the storm will continue and the bad possibility is The price will drop and touch $ 15K.
Thought they predict the price can end with 28k max and now they are skeptical about 25k? But indeed, 25k is getting hard to get lately but the max the we reached last time is only 24k. On the other hand, I don't think we will dump in 15k but the price can only play between 20k and 19k if it's going to be unstable in higher levels.

Anyway mate we are only predicting this year so what you are saying of 6 months there is not counted already because we only have 3 months left before we end this year. Next year is a different story anymore and I think many of us here will reset our predictions and will came up with another set of numbers.
747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 15, 2022, 07:05:36 PM
Marseille have had seven good matches in Ligue 1, but it was different when they played in the Champions League. Losses against Tottenham and Frankfurt in two Champions League matches were really worrying, Igor Tudor pointed to fatigue and injuries that hit his squad as factors that prevented them from winning the match.
So I don't think marseille is ready with a pretty hectic schedule, they are having trouble dealing with the problems that occur due to fatigue and injuries that hit the squad.

In contrast to PSG, by confirming their victory over M. Haifa, PSG can focus more on continuing its positive trend in Ligue 1.
I am not sure that Marseille will be able to consistently compete with PSG in the next matches.
Because that is the real Marseille that we know, not the one in the league. Many people sees Ligue 1 as the worst of the 5 big leagues, and this is the main reason.

In Serie A, we had juventus domination for a while, but now we have Inter and Milan winning the title, so it's three teams that's fighting for the title this year, whereas ligue 1 is a PSG league and all other teams are good compared to each other when they are ranked at the end of the season but they are not real y that good, the team that finishes second in Ligue 1 could lose to 5th or even 6th of a premier league team, and that's why Marseille looks decent now, but in reality they are not really that good at all.
748  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach 45k before this year ends. on: September 15, 2022, 10:54:19 AM
I'm not sure if fomo or investment curiosity prompted this question as it's impossible for anyone to answer for sure at this point, if so far we collect all the answers collectively and use them as qualitative data and try to find their meaning.
and we will soon realize that no one knows because the price of bitcoin is not easy to predict and the most honest answer I believe is that whatever the price of bitcoin at the end of the year you mention it can happen. And we should continue to expect the bitcoin price to be at a much higher level by the end of the year.
Predicting the start and end of bearish and bull markets is not be effective at the moment. Every time the market goes up a little, it starts to go down again after a while. And this way it is passing long time. BTC may go up a bit towards the end of this year but $45k is not possible given the current conditions. Because $45K is not possible without bull market which is not possible in this year.
That is the problem, people are not entirely sure that they should be buying or selling, and that creates a bit of a problem for them as well. I personally believe that we shouldn't be really focusing on what they could do with some profit, because people would love to see a little bit of highs and as soon as it goes up they start to buy.

I believe we should teach people, or at least try to explain to them, the time to buy is not when it starts to go up, it is when it starts to go down that they should start to buy more. Because you should always be buying the bottom and selling the top, and unfortunately people wait until there is a bit of hype around crypto before they get in.
749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2022/23 | Group Stage on: September 15, 2022, 05:49:22 AM
Tottenham Hotspurs seems to be struggling creating chances while the star players aren't performing as expected. With Son and Kane not being as effective as they usually are. They have gotten into one of the easiest group in the Champions League and I was expecting them to be topping the group but with their loss to Sporting, they are 2nd at the moment.
Honestly Spurs was never a good team, they had that one good year and everyone expects them to do the same thing over and over again whereas they are not really good at all. Look at how many cups they won, how many domestic and international ones, look at how many league titles they have. This is a cupless team that never won anything and this puts something your DNA, you get used to not winning anything and that is why they keep on losing all the time and feel okay about it since that is all they know.

Look at most teams, they have a player that won something at least once, and that is how you gain leadership and the more you win, even if players retire or transfer you still have some left in your club.
750  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in Casino tokens such as BFG, OWL or TFS on: September 14, 2022, 05:05:30 PM
I'm one of the BFG beneficiaries likewise OWL, so I comfortably can speak about BFG as it's been running and steadily paying for over a year now through staking on its platform without even getting to participate in any of its casino games. OWL looks more or less the same but it's still very much new in the system so it's advisable to proceed with caution.
With owl, they're giving a decent percent of APR but if you're late on that then there's no more slot for you as it closes. While for BFG, I don't know if there's any limit for that slot who wants to earn from there.

But it seems that it's like that and whoever holds it and stake it there then they'll be like you who enjoys profiting from their token.
I understand that there would be a competition between each other as well, why wouldn't people try to shill a casino token when they do it for many others. But at the same time, we need to figure out the fact that maybe some of them are not that much better than the others.

I believe that the real question should be more about if you should invest into a casino token or not from the start, if you do not want to then it doesn't matter which one is better, and if you do want to then you could discuss which one is better or not. I personally did it on BFG and checked OWL and both of them had the same issue for me, which is the fact that they turn to a token company instead of keep being a casino and focus too much on the token.

Barcelona seems strong and a good team but, they havent played again a strong team in the short term, so we really dont know if they are really strong or not. This can be the first challenge for them against Bayer Munich, and it hink Bayern can win this match for 3-1 or something like that.

Lewandowsky can score against his former team.
I would say that they are strong enough to beat Bayern but at the same time the situation is too close. Normally I would give the win to Bayern, because Barcelona has been bad and they are still not recovered yet because they may have a good roster but they need to show and proof they are ready again for a long time.

At the end of the day, we should be looking at the current situation of Barcelona as unknown, they may look good but they are not tested just like you said. Which is why I am expecting them to have a season where they won't really have any type of problems big time, but not have a great season where they win it all neither.
752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 13, 2022, 07:03:03 PM
This week almost all the favorites failed to get maximum results, Bayern Munich had to draw with VfB, Borussia Dortmund had to suffer a defeat to Leipzig, the most recent being that Freiburg failed to get full points at home to Borussia Monchengladbach. It's a bit surprising to see the results of this week's match, that they failed to capitalize on a win.
I mean by the looks of it this season, Leipzig could be a better team than Dortmund, and if we look at how Gladbach has been then they are better than Freiburg as well, freiburg just had a god start but Gladbach had a great start too and they are not that great.

I expected Freiburg to finally start to lose eventually, they weren't as good as the results has shown them but that's fine. I mean the best thing to do right now would be just Bayern finally getting a win would be a lot better for them because they beat better team Inter and still fail in the league, doesn't really make sense to me. Betting on bundesliga is always hard and would always create a trouble.
753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Real most rewarding Crypto Casino? on: September 13, 2022, 05:22:33 PM
I am a beginner in gambling. some time ago created an account and deposited it in one of the crypto casinos. there is a problem regarding the deposit bonus that has not been given. and I tried to contact support. the service provided to new members is really good. very fast problem-solving. they even apologized for the inconvenience.

choosing a casino to get a bonus can indeed be considered for gamblers. but better service to members will be more satisfying than asset security and fun games.
I definitely agree that it is not going to be simple for people to make sure they are doing the right thing. I mean think about it this way, if people pick the casinos based on just the deposit bonus then they could end up choosing something that is not ideal at all, which would be terrible in the long run. This is why it is much better if they could pick a place that they could trust.

I gamble in a few places and I can easily say that all the places that I trust are usually places that have been around for a very long time. If a place is under 1 year old, I would be very careful, maybe just end up with their signature campaign and gamble with the money they give me, in return I learn if they are actually good or not.
754  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for September on: September 13, 2022, 03:34:31 PM
I know crypto is volatile but we do not have to expect a volatile result at all times. Sometimes we can be volatile and sometimes we could be normal without a trouble. Maybe it will go from 22k to 40k, or maybe it will end the month at 23k, these are all possible things. Which is why I honestly expect the month to be wild, not going to know what exactly happened and that is why I believe that we shouldn't be really making a calculation based on what we imagine, that would not result with anything good. Just calculate how much that we possibly could lose or earn, and make a prediction based on that by taking less risk for bigger reward if you can.
I really do not care about ETH merge or mt.gox distribution or anything else, it doesn't matter to me because I have just one thing that I care about in this long grind which is having as many bitcoins as possible.

I get that not many people can see the profit in this and not understand how it's done but the reality is that we can't really let this be a normal thing just because there are some bad news doesn't mean we should run, if we run every time there is a bad news then we are not going to end up with a good result at all and that is going to be a problem. I personally prefer to stay and fight and accumulate more and wait until the price goes up.
755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing for a real Assets on: September 12, 2022, 05:28:14 PM
While Going through the book Rich dad,poor dad my mind refrain back to this; INVESTING FOR A REAL ASSET

And it says a true luxury is a reward for investing in and developing a real asset.having read that I was contemplating and as well need clarification for this.If BTC is an asset.because it was said that an asset is money in your pockets,so how does BTC relate to being a real asset,and what is a real asset and how do you invest for a real Assets.
Bitcoin will always go through every form of scrutinization but will always come out on top. I usually don't hear this same question when people invest in things like Stocks.
I would say BTC investment is almost similar since there are both not real assets but


likewise Bitcoin

At the end of the day, they both have value even if they are not REAL ASSETS but can easily be converted to cash.
That is because bitcoin is newer and that is why people are not entirely sure. I understand that it is not going to be that easy to figure out why people are looking harder into bitcoin to find a fault but the reality is that we are not really doing this because it is regarding something we care for whereas other people are caring about stocks and trying to find a mistake in bitcoin so that they could either feel more comfortable with their stock choice, or feel a bit more powerful by showing a fault in something else.

Either way, they want to make themselves feel better about themselves by showing a problem in crypto, because all problems of the stock world is already known and a big problem at that as well.
756  Economy / Gambling / Re: The History Of Gambling. on: September 12, 2022, 04:42:54 PM
Your explanation is invalid. Of course we can associate poker players with gambling.
There are millions of poker players around the world that gamble on their game. While this can be true for other sports, it is a very specific fact about poker. Sure you can know how to play poker and still not gamble on it, but that's definitely not the case here. If you think about it, poker is mathematically just a different game of probability. You have a certain set of odds as to whether you will win or lose.
Interesting. Just take a minute and try to answer this question: The odds of winning in poker are better than in purely luck based games or worse? And the answer is, it is better for some people and worse for others. Skilled poker players obviously have better odds than inexperienced ones.

Sure thing, there are freaks using poker as pure gambling. They are going all in all the time, irritating everyone around, and sometimes they succeed. But most of the time they don't finish in the paid places.
Obviously skilled ones will not end up with a problem, they will most of the time end up winning but in the end it is still gambling and even the worst gambler could end up getting lucky here and there. This is why I believe that you should never consider gambling as a profession, doesn't matter what kind of situation you are in, doesn't matter what you are trying to do, if you want to make money from gambling then you should stay away from it.

I believe that the best way to enjoy gambling is to consider the money you deposited as gone, then start trying to have fun with that money because you just spent some money and you want some fun in return of that money. That makes more sense right?
757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: September 11, 2022, 09:08:02 PM
And this is a golden opportunity that they may never have again. They will do everything in their power on the pitch. After all they definitely want to have a career in a big team. The World Cup is one way to promote themselves to the teams they are aiming for. Because I'm sure they must have a dream team in their career.
But let me go to another topic. The World Cup is a big platform, like every year, there are many new young players in all the teams. The World Cup is a place for them to compete, I think they can show their talent and take themselves to a much better place. The World Cup is not a formality, it is an event to take world football to a better place.
I do not think that it is a place where young players could go to showcase their talents, the nations league or whatever it is named would be a much better place to do that. World cup is the place where nations bring their best possible players and most of the time teams that join are good teams as well because they beat others to join, there are a lot of nations that failed to join.

This is why I believe that we will see players who are at the best stages of their career, and not players who are young and have potential. If you are young and already play very well like Haaland then of course you will play.

I would like to say that Mason Greenwood obviously has some remarkable qualities. But the problem is he is only 20 years old and he is already having some legal issues. These things can be very detrimental to the career of any player. I think he can be released on bail. I think there was a time when if professional fighters got arrested people thought they would be coming back more ferociously than ever.

But for a sports personality, it is never a smart idea to get arrested. I just realized it sounds like I am saying that he got arrested willingly. But you can't be a 20 year old and have some serious allegations against you if you want to be a successful player one day. And another negative thing for his career is that Manchester United is not doing very well right now. So I also don't think that this is the most appropriate place for him to develop.
It is obvious that when your name goes next to rape there are 2 possible ways that it could go. Either you were falsely jailed and you didn't do the crime and you should be coming back stronger than ever because you are the victim in that case. However, if you did commit the crime you are accused of then there is no coming back and he should be jailed until his whole career is over and even further. This is a serious crime and we do not need celebs to go scot free just because they are famous people, if you did a crime then you should be jailed and not come back from it.
759  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: buying low and selling high on: September 11, 2022, 04:55:19 PM
Buy low and Sell High - that is actually easy to follow but guess what, many people had change their minds when the market suddenly chance after buying. Most of the time they turn negative instead of keeping positive, and a reason why people got to panic and started selling low than their buying price. It is to say that even if it was too easy but we find it difficult because we have been disturbed by FUDs and market stress which sends us to make wrong decisions.
That’s the thing, they think that they didn't buy low enough, and for some reason the recovery from that is selling to make a loss? I never understood the idea but that’s how they approach it and it never made sense to me at all. If you buy at 23k, and it goes to 19k, that doesn't mean you should sell, it means you should hold a while longer and if you could make a profit on that then it’s great, if not then wait a bit more or even buy some more and wait until it goes up.

There are not enough logical arguments to be made about buying bitcoin, seeing it drop, and selling it for a loss. Only logical would be an urgent need to get cash to pay for something you have to pay.
760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 10, 2022, 09:08:53 PM
Although Stuttgart has a fairly strong defense, their opponents are the team that has created the most goals in the Bundesliga. Of course Bayern Munich's attack is better than their previous opponents. Bayern Munich have scored 17 goals in 5 games, I think this match Stuttgart should be ready for them to concede more.
Bayern has a nice attack and also they will be playing at home against Stuttgart. And its obvious Bayern will have the most possession of the ball. Stuttgart hasn't won a single game in their first five matches. So far Stuttgart  have only scored 4 goals and conceded 5 while Bayern has 17 goals and has conceded 3. Its a complete 3 point for Bayern no matter how strong Stuttgart tries to improve their defense
It is understandable for Bayern to have some struggles with losing one of their most important players and getting another one instead. Mane is awesome, and the draws were not his fault, and Lewandowski is great but Bayern won't be a terrible team just because he left. However, it is normal for them to have a bit of a problem when they leave, after all we are talking about changing the style a player is used to playing and Mane is used to a system and he is now playing in another system.

I still believe that Bayern is great physically as it is very widely known, and they will beat their opponents when the time goes further, everyone will be tired and they won't be.
