781  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you risking investment in other things? on: September 12, 2023, 06:44:05 PM
but asides real estate, what else are you risking the money you should to invest more in bitcoins on?
For me personally, if we focus on one investment goal, for example Bitcoin, of course I only aim at one thing to do it, shares or real estate for me are different things and different paths, of course Bitcoin investment and real estate are two different things.

And if we talk about halving, it is one of the problems that happens every 4 years, it only happens to Bitcoin, not to real estate, real estate is more about objects, such as land, etc., likewise shares are also different things.

The point is: investing in Bitcoin with real estate investments is in the opposite direction, but it is also possible that there are people who do it, if they have excess money, I mean it is not used in Bitcoin investment, what is certain is that I remain focused on only one path in terms of investment, namely Bitcoin, if I believe in it.
Why does one need to focus only on one investment option, anyway? You can always keep maintaining your investments both in real estate and Bitcoin if you can afford to do that, but since real estate investment requires a very large capital, it is not possible for everyone to be able to make investments in it and that is the reason why most people prefer investments in Bitcoin, but if someone has enough money and they can do it, it's a great thing to do.

I would personally never withdraw my investment from real estate just to invest the money in Bitcoin because real estate is a more stable investment and has way less risk than Bitcoin since the price of Bitcoin is too volatile and there is always a risk of market crash which barely happens with real estate.

PS- Would you love to see an exclusive Crash Game multiplier contest?
All the gamblers like to see exclusive promotions and contests from a casino. But you will see a small number of participants if you run it for the Bitcointalk forum members only.
Hope to see there my friend, small number of participants is good for us because we get better chance to win, isn't it? LOL
Although I do not like crash game, but I did participate in few crash multiplier contests before in this forum so I think I'll be in the one provided by coins.game as long as I think it will worth the risk.
The main point is, if there is a good chance to make some money in a contest, dont waste the chance  Cheesy Cheesy
And that is why it is called exclusive because only few can have an access to it. I don't like crash game either but maybe if there are contest about it which are free or even not but as long as the requirements are not hard and the participants are only less, I think I can also go for it.

Contest are a good way for a casino to promote a game because there is a chance that we players who doesn't like the game will eventually love it the more we play it, and the casino can still recover the fund that they use in the contest later on. Joining a contest is like killing two birds with one stone because we can win big if we hit the high multipliers and then we can also get a big prize from ranking high in the contest.
783  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learning from those who have experience on: September 12, 2023, 03:41:54 PM
While many demonize gambling as the root cause of addiction and financial ruin, isn't it time we shift the blame from the industry to the individual? After all, countless activities can lead to addiction, but we don't vilify them all. Maybe it's the lack of self-control and inability to understand risk that's truly at fault. Let's stop blaming the game and start holding players accountable for their choices.
Yes, this mistake arises due to the lack of responsibility of individuals in gambling, so they become addicted and have difficulty curing their gambling addiction. They really need to realize that they have a gambling addiction so they need to go to a professional who can help them cure their gambling addiction. Each gambling addict can block the thought or desire to gamble but unfortunately, this is lost to the urge to gamble and many of them are even unable to resist the urge to gamble. If they are willing to learn to overcome their desire to gamble, they will see opportunities to do other things that have nothing to do with gambling. They need encouragement to do something different from their routine activities, where they need to create or build new activities.
Involving a professional is not always necessary, the most important thing is for an addicted person to accept their addiction and acknowledge the fact that they are in a problem and they need someone's help to get out of it, and then someone from their closed ones like friends and family members can help them with that by finding activities that they like and keeping them engaged with those activities and also not leaving them alone at any given time.

If they are trying to cure someone's addiction and then they leave them alone for very long, the addict will most probably start gambling again once they get lonely and when they see that there is no one to stop them. So, it's important that there is at least one person who is always around the addicted person.
784  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much ,as you think ,is 1 bitcoin in 2025? on: September 12, 2023, 05:41:24 AM
Long term there is only one possibility, or at least in the next bull run, that the price will go up and we might see $100k or more in 2024-2025. And I'm not the only one speculating on it, there are a lot.

But I'm not going to call them experts though even if we hit that price. I mean it's all in the books, we can see that every after block halving years, bitcoin price will reach new all time high and in this case, the cycle will continue and it will be 6 digits in the next run.
I'm more optimistic about $90k than $100k, the market will most likely start crashing again once it reaches around $90k to $95k. At that point, if whales can do something and push the price a bit forward, we might, for the first time, see Bitcoin having a six-digit valuation which will surely be a very big achievement for Bitcoin and blockchain technology since people didn't believe in it initially and they said it's useless and it's a bubble and much more.

Our predictions can't always be right, it's true. Even if there are experts who made predictions and speculations about future prices and market conditions, it doesn't always turn out to be the way they might have predicted because the market is extremely volatile and highly unpredictable.
785  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Get a signal Source on Bitcoin. on: September 10, 2023, 04:51:55 PM
Following channels to get the latest crypto news of important for your own speculation of the market. Following channels for trading isn't a good practice because the information might be wrong and will lead you to loss. It is better that you come up with your own strategy if you are a trader. The forum is also a good place to gather information daily,but you should also DYOR,so that you will improve yourself in trading. But if you depend on channels to tell you what yo do,it means that you wouldn't learn. So I would advice you to invest in a long term and hodli,without bothering about the price of bitcoin.
If what we only want is crypto news, I think a better source would be the crypto news sites but we should also pick the ones that are on top so that we can be sure that the information they provide are true. Crypto channels must only be for getting signals which might be helpful for a trader.

But again, you need to be very picky because many for them are miss leading and scam. As you said, it is still better to stand on our own. Not just we can completely avoid being deceived, we can also be proud of our selves once we are already doing well in. Other than the crypto news site and crypto channel, your are right that our forum is also a good site to get info. It can be an all in one solution because different topics about crypto can be discussed here.
786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 10, 2023, 08:21:15 AM
Ittihad will try to be better, by recruiting more Europa players to retain the league title. Luiz Felipe may could be a good player to strengthen Ittihad defense, although this Italy player is not too old, but he has enough experience. If play in this league, I think it is not really difficult for him. Considering also he is not too old, then there is a possibility he can develop to be better. Also maybe can return to any club at Europa again, I mean there is still a chance for him. If he can have a good performance, then there is a possibility that clubs in Europa are interested to recruit him. Anyhow, this league is not over yet, I mean although Al Hilal is the favorite but there is still a chance for Ittihad to return to the top position.
I think Al Ittihad can be very scary after they get a player like Luiz Felipe. Because we know Al Ittihad got many famous superstar players from Europe in this summer to have better forwards.
Now after they hired Luiz Felipe, their only weakness in the defense line will be improved and now they can be a stronger team to race with Al Hilal for the title at the end of this season.
Al Ittihad is defending champions with few good players and now in recent transfer window they have quality players which give them good start of this season even recently they have first defeat of this season which bring them down at third spot and Al Hilal at the top with this all situation most chances things could be not easy for the top four teams we will have many ups and downs which create entertaining soccer and prediction is also not easy because after break we will have few good matches between top teams and these matches will bring good changes in league table.

Al Ittihad is currently with few defending players having good advantage, and they will be team to watch as they are surely going for another title, which is not easy in presence of Al Hilal and Al Nassr.
787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 10, 2023, 05:42:14 AM
To be honest this should be a very comfortable group for Atletico Madrid. They have a really lucky draw for the groups. Even Lazio aren't much close to Atletico Madrid's level at the moment. Because Lazio didn't start the season well. Feyenoord and Celtic both are much weaker teams than Atletico Madrid already.

The placements in the group can be like this:

1. Atletico Madrid
2. Lazio
3. Feyenoord
4. Celtic

I believe Celtic are the weakest team here. Feyenoord can bring some competition to Lazio maybe but I still expect Lazio to stay ahead of them.
Recently we have few good changes in many leagues with few teams are doing impressive job and having enough quality and space for giving upsets in this event which is famous for the surprising results and upsets there is no doubt about Atlético Madrid which is clearly leader for this group with Lazio and Feyenoord both are having fair chance for the staying at the second spot even this is not easy for them but with current performance and quality we can expect good competition.

Celtic is surely the weakest side in this group and Lazio is also having troubling start of this season but in this event we can expect good result with Feyenoord which is coming here after winning Dutch league in presence of PSV and Ajax surely try to give his best and make a mark with going into knock out round even it has never been easy job.
788  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loot.bet - booted after just 3 small bets :) on: September 09, 2023, 07:44:31 PM
the answer to all these shenigans, is to bet with smart contract only, it is coming but slowly.
I don't think smart is enough.

Casino just want to restricted or prohibited advantage player, that's why you have a low limit with new account. In-every case advatange player taking some advatange strategy, they will restric you:
- KYC
- Limit Bet
- Other
It's happening on casino games as blackjack, even we all know you still can losing. Even a smart-person still can get a backoff in blackjack table.
If it's enough, centralized casino won't boom like this and I even think smart contract are so risky because there are lots of scam cases about them in the past or even up until now. It's easy for a scammer to create a smart contract and then there is no way to report them because they are decentralized. Casino always want to make sure that they are winning more than the winners so yeah, they can do crazy things like restricting or limiting the gamblers account.

Sometimes they can also rig their games or manipulate the results of it but many of us will think the result are just a normal loss because that is already the usual thing that occurs. KYC is not a way to restrict an account but it can actually increase our limits once we complete them.
789  Economy / Speculation / Re: Take your eyes off from the fall in price on: September 09, 2023, 07:20:05 PM
I have been around for a long time and I can say that I have seen worse crashes and this doesn't phase me at all. This is normal and people should not be overreacting to it as much as they are doing right now. I get that it is not that simple and we should be considering that as a deal, but as long as it exists, we shouldn't really be making a big deal out of it.

I get that life is not that simple and we could see it change sometime soon but as long as we trust it, we are going to end up with a great profit eventually. Just give it some time, it should exist and I think it would be a lot better for the long term. I get that it would be good, and I get that it would be simple, just hold it and you will get there in time.
People who have been around for quite some time already understand any kind of market condition whether it's crashing, dipping, going up quickly, or whatever else because it won't be the first time for them and they have already seen such things happening and that is the reason why they stay confident in such market conditions. However, those who are new in the market and have made investments right before the dip or the crash, won't have the same feelings.

Most people who panic or start overreacting when the market starts crashing or dipping are newbie investors because they don't know much about the market and how volatile the cryptocurrencies are, so when they see their portfolio losing value, they start thinking that they are losing money.

There is Litecoin and Dogecoin but I would rather stick to Namecoin tied to BTC or a new type of thing!

I have been lucky to avoid all the SBF and FTX drama in which they almost brought down Winklevoss Twins and Gemini!

They almost brought down the ENTIRE Crypto Trust System that had any HUMAN Face to interact with!  So I am looking to dump a little bit of money to leverage $1 grand for 5-10 years!  But I am unsure which would be better investment!

To me Sigchains is simple and easy to Remember, I have lost lots of Crypto over the years, not BTC though!  And I think the Nexus "Bubble Bursting" was tied to Big Banker Liquidity which obviously never materialized especially after CZ and Binance did the Knife attack against all the Binance Nexus Stakers!

But Life goes on I guess and the Money Games keep Going!  Scam, after Scam, they come for me, Scam after Scam, Sam I am, Scam after Scam says Sam I am!
You are saying that you are not shilling doesn't really make it true. Why does your username say, "Nexus Flavor" if you are not really here to shill the project? That sounds like the classic line the a thief shouting that they didn't steal anything when what they've stolen is already visible from their pocket. However, I don't think this makes any difference whether you are shilling the project or not because most people won't just invest in a project they hear about from someone random over the internet.

And, what makes you think that any of the two projects you've mentioned will actually give you a 1000% return on your investment when both of the projects are new? And we all know what generally happens when we invest in newly launched projects especially if they are meme or shit coins.
791  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top 50 gambling Instagram & TikTok accounts on: September 08, 2023, 08:10:16 PM
You are right on that point, most of those influencers are not actually gamblers, they are just used and paid by gambling or casino owners because of their millions of followers and their ability to influence most people to gamble their followers
Social media happens to be one of the fastest means of transferring information and creating awareness about a new innovated idea of gambling. I would preferred to make my own crucial research than just sticking to what the public offers. Mapping out thoroughly from the piece of information passed down. There are countless social media influencers out there that have multiple millions followers and its generate more prominent communities. I wouldn't advised any gambler to follow up these influencers because most of them are not even into gambling, they just advised these sited and gets paid, nothing else.
Those who blindly follow social media influencers, streamers, and anyone who they like, and do whatever they do or whatever they say will always be in loss because they don't use their own brain and just listen to them and act upon that. If they are gambling, their followers will start gambling too, and that is the biggest reason why casinos partner up with influencers and streamers so that they can promote their platforms because the casinos will get a lot of users after that.

A sensible person would never just blindly follow someone for whatever they do, even if they like something they see or hear, they will always do their own research about that thing first and then they will get involved so that they are aware of the outcomes of the actions that they are going to take.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 08, 2023, 07:10:46 PM
What about you, what do you dislike ?
The behavior of gamblers I dislike:

I dislike gamblers who are irresponsible, taking gambling as a priority, and forgetting the needs of their family.
I dislike gamblers who brag a lot.
I dislike gamblers who cheat and exploit casino glitches.
I dislike gamblers who lies to a friend just to borrow money and fund his gambling activities.
The very first point of yours is what I hate as well. I see a lot of people who get so deep into gambling that they start ignoring their families and taking any responsibility. They don't do any job or earn any money, they are always looking for ways to get some money that they can use for gambling and hope that they can get something big and they don't need to work to earn money, and they always lose that money very quickly and then sit and start overthinking.

These kinds of people don't understand but they are never going to become successful in gambling, it barely happens when a person earns enough money through gambling that they don't need to do any job and they can take care of their family with the earnings they get from gambling.
793  Economy / Speculation / Re: Volatility and its effect on: September 08, 2023, 06:34:01 PM
The volatility in the market can bring opportunity for other investors in this field of Bitcoin or crypto. And for others, it can cause them bad things if they don't have a deep understanding of this industry. But do you know that volatility also teaches us to balance the assets we have here and decide if we should buy or sell? Because this is the beauty of volatility, actually.

That's why others say that this is an opportunity because it gives us a signal to have income, or else we will be even more prudent in what we do here as investors or holders.
When you enter the cryptocurrency market, either as an investor or as a trader, volatility is basically what you look for. An investor is someone who just buys and holds specific assets or cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, while a trader is someone who buys and sells cryptocurrencies for a very short period of time to get very small percentages of profit out of each trade, however, both of these need volatility to help them achieve their goals and earn some money.

An investment from an investor would make no sense if the market doesn't move from where they've bought because they will only earn money if the market moves up, and when it moves up, it can move down as well. Similarly, a trader cannot make any trades if the market is completely stagnant.
794  Economy / Gambling / Re: Concept of Halal Casino on: September 08, 2023, 05:31:51 PM
Well, if something goes too deep with this then it is not surprising. It's better not to practice or touch or get into the boundaries of beliefs that are against gambling and religion.

But as what others have said, this is not for real and the video maker did a good job for making everyone curious if there's one really in existence and as well as with the help of OP.

I wonder if something like that exists for real, will the leaders of the Islam will sue the developers of it.
I have a lot of respect for Mufti Menk and I know that he is a great scholar with a very vast knowledge and experience of the religion that he preaches and he is a humble and good person. However, I know and all of us know how YouTube basically works and how people make clickbait titles and thumbnails so that people watch their videos and get more views and engagements with the video they've posted. I'm sure it's done by his team and not himself.

Getting back to the topic, there cannot be a halal casino at all even if Muslim scholars or leaders of Islam don't sue the creators or anything, there is basically no concept like that because in gambling, you need to make bets, and win money, and that is haram in Islam no matter how it's done.

Asia Cup already entered in Super Four Zone now. There were 6 matches in Super Four Zone and one match played between Pakistan vs Bangladesh. And 5 are remaining. And the remaining 5 matches will be played in Colombo and the Final will also be played in Colombo.
If we talk about over all performance so we will see that Pakistan's performance is really good and according to the current performance I hope Pakistan will win Asia Cup. Not sure but I am expecting that.
After suffering humiliated defeat against Pakistan and having poor form in last few matches, most chances in next match against Sri Lanka at Colombo we will have another defeat for them and with this exit from this event as well because they are not well-balanced side in last few months and their performance is also on decline which is the big problem for them after this Asia Cup we have no time for preparation as World Cup is also coming within 28 days so with current form most chances they could be out of the top eight because mostly quality teams will beat them badly they need to work on domestic level if they want improved results and better performance against quality teams.

Sri Lanka is also facing problems, but they are still much better and well-balanced side which can handle all situations with well-balanced way of playing, hopefully in last few matches of the Asia Cup we will have entertaining cricket from these teams.
796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on How to Stay Safe and Avoid Scams When Gambling Online on: September 07, 2023, 08:19:50 PM
The money we are getting from the casino will be faster in the online gambling as compared to the offline gambling.The reason is the gambler can start the complain on the particular game.In some gambling sites the kyc verification is not mandatory because the user data was easy available in all the social medi.The gambling site will check your data and social media data,if both matches the gambling site will help you to use gambling site without kyc.If your information was seems scam one,the gambling site will hold your account and ask to do kyc verification as compulsory one.The gamblers should obey the rules of gambling site and do their kyc.The kyc verification just need five minutes of time.
Withdrawal can depend on the casino as some processed it manually but if it was done automatically, I still think that some fiat payment methods and offline casinos are instant because transactions won't go in the blockchain anymore. Complaining is normal and fine if you don't like the services being offered. You have the rights to do it because you are a customer and you are paying the casino.

KYC verification has nothing to do with Social Media or the data's inside it. It was only ordered by the government on compliance to the Anti-money Laundering Law. It may not be mandatory depending on the amount involved or it it's only a small one but one must prepare as they can accidentally win big amounts.

Al Ettifaq is definitely creating a squad that can compete very well with the bigger clubs in the Saudi pro league. They have become aware that the competition is improving and they will have to improve as well to be able to compete. They have already made a decent squad, and very big improvements in some areas. They are in the fifth position right now and so far they have been a little inconsistent. Probably bringing in all these players will be able to fix the problem for them of being inconsistent. They will have to perform consistently if they want to go up through the table.
Al Ettifaq is having reputation of staying into middle of the league table but in this season after few huge investments from other clubs they are also investing and bringing good number of players which can bring better performance and chance of better spot at the end of this season with Steven Gerrard is coach which is looking for the better spot in European clubs also having chance here to give his best and having better things in coming years.

In early matches, they have good performance which is surely going to help them in coming weeks as well, even they are having problems against big clubs, but we can expect good challenge from them.
798  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP - when to sell? on: September 07, 2023, 06:29:42 PM
nor xrp win or lose i would expecting some quite rise either star bullrun if win, or exit scam before the case rulling
some people said later this year maybe end of this year, or q1 2024. its win2 situation for holder, if you seeing 2/3x price gain later, better to unload all of your stash
They did already win, and that lead for the value of XRP to rise but lately I heard the coin was dumping again. I guess that is because of the left and right negative news about the crypto. Once the market recovered from it, I know XRP can shine again and it may now break the value that it haven't achieved in the past because SEC poisoned them.

Some says XRP is a bad coin and some says it was a scam but I don't believe on it. I'm not a full supporter of this coin but I only say what I think is right. So, even if they lose the case against SEC last time, the down fall in their price is not what you call an exit scam but it's only a normal downfall as many HODLers are giving up already on them. If there is an event that can happen later this year or on Q1 2024, that will only be the bull run, and XRP can also benefit with it.

Well, this is the champions league and there are no guarantees; there will be upsets and lots of it too! just like Barcelona dropping to europa league last season. In addition; the Arsenal group is also difficult, very difficult as all four teams are underdogs in the group. The Manchester United group with Bayern is also a top tier group; no guarantees at all, all clubs have to earn their rights to the next stages.
Despite the upsets, there are teams that have high chance of qualifying in their group because they are good and can beat all the other teams in the group.
Teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Napoli and lots more have the high chance of qualifying to the round of 16 in the Champions League.
We have long list of seasoned teams which can go through into next round because these are giants in UEFA and their available sources and quality is also at the top which give them good edge for having better chances for going into next round with I have my personal list which teams are going to be had highly chances for the next round are here Barcelona, Porto, Manchester City, RB Leipzig, PSG, AC Milan, Atlético Madrid, Benfica, Inter Milan, PSV, Arsenal and Bayern Munich I am quite sure these will be in with no upsets are going to happen to them but few other teams which are good but with their current form we can expect anything from them.
800  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 06, 2023, 06:30:54 PM
Leipzig is a very good team and after a few sad results they made the blast against Stuttgart. Nevertheless, we can easily say that Stuttgart started the league very well. Finishing the Bundesliga at the top this year is their main goal for now. However, there are many teams in this league that will push him. I want to see Stuttgart participate in European tournaments this year. I hope they make it.
Leipzig in the last 3 years have always played well. In fact they play in UCL as well. so I think Leipzig are a team that should be considered as potential champions this season. For Stuttgart I'm not sure, last season they ended above the relegation zone. But Stuttgart this season started well. They can always score 5 goals in 3 games this season. But remember there are still a lot of matches. It is difficult to ensure they can afford to end up in the eurozone at the end of the season.
Recently we have good depth in Leipzig as now they are one of the best teams in Bundesliga their start is impressive, and now we can expect good performance from them in this season even in last few seasons they are regularly staying at the top four spots which is good consistency after Bayern Munich and Dortmund, but this is going to be different season which will have good changes for few teams like Leipzig is having good chance and Bayer Leverkusen is also impressive Dortmund which mostly stood behind Bayern Munich struggling badly because they fail to have good replacement of their quality players which sold.

Current season start is interesting with Stuttgart and few other teams are giving their best, but this all is early days with better results could become after winter break when we have better shape of league table.
