781  Economy / Speculation / Re: 60k price recovery achieved on: October 17, 2021, 07:25:00 PM
I'm not that optimistic when it comes to price speculation, however, despite the price almost reaching April's ATH, it has a long way before it can surpass and reach $70,000.
All the people who are all still pessimistic like you might get surprised when bitcoin will show you 100% rise in very short period of time like 1 or 2 weeks of time. So, getting into the region of $70k may happen at any time hence you need to be ready to embrace new ATH.

We're only two months away from the new year, I'm pretty positive that Bitcoin will reach a new record in the near future, however, anything higher than that may be breached within the last weeks of December.
Anything above the current ATH, could be considered as a new record price but I want to be more precise on that.  I mean I am too positive about getting into $100k levels by the times of new year. $100k is the minimum we could expect and the maximum is something we could not speculate right away because some experts are speculating about reaching $400k levels as well by end of this year.

If hey have "so many more players" obviously they earn more money.

So why not employing more support workers? When its about improving the experience for their customers they dont give a damn.

They sponsor fighters, football teams and so on but not investing some money to improve this. Classic stake.

Thats why they overcharge on withdrawals also, pure greed.
I would say that you are right about overcharging on the withdrawal is definitely something that is horrible and I would say that they should lower that quickly, and offer more methods as well like bech32 and so forth in order to make it easier for all of us as well.

However staff part is not greed, it is not easy to hire people and I should know because I hired so many people and I am a horrible leader so I end up with good people turning into bad people because of me. I had a period in my life when I was leader of a project and had nearly 10-12 people working under me, and I kept firing people and hiring new people because they didn't do decent job. I do not think that I had even one month in my life where all the workers actually ended up working decently and then without changing anyone or firing anyone or hiring a new person. So that means I literally had to fire at least one person every month, usually even more. You can spend millions and still not get decent staff so it is not easy.

What they are trying to let you know is that bitcoin is something you are not supposed to been selling frequently due to it's movement via increment, it's of the owner benefit to keep cryptocurrency in the wallet for long period of time, because keeping it is adding more values to it, than to be making a withdrawal Everytime, actually if you do that always that means you  are not investing into it.

At least, it's proper or encouraging to invest via cryptocurrency or stop making withdrawal subsequently so that whenever season of Bear market occur they will be substantial benefit from the investor which might be you or any.
Long term holding bitcoin is something so great that we have a joke around here about how we should "hodl" bitcoin. We can see that hodl joke in many places but it was first started here as well. I can't find the topic right now but someone created a topic and wrote hodl instead of hold and that became something that we all joked and it became so big that from twitter to new projects to basically every single place in the world got that hodl.

Even wall street bets which was buying a stock called gamestop ended up using hodl as a joke among themselves. Which had nothing to do with crypto and that is the weird part, now we are talking about hodl all the time everywhere as hodl. This means that we are in a situation where everyone should know that crypto is not something that you would profit right away but if you keep on holding it then you would make a good profit in the long term.

If there are safer sources of energies like solar and wind, why to keep risking ourselves with nuclear energy? As everyone know it's too dangerous and nobody can predict an accident, it just happens, and once it happens there isn't anything to do besides regretting the actions which lead to that.

Green energy could be already supplying everyone, but it's not interesting for the small group who rules the world as they profit from the precariousness, so it's definitely not going to happen soon. That would be the ideal, because people would be finally autonomous in energy production paying very low costs to supply their homes and to fuel their vehicles.
The problem is that there are people defending against green energy for ... no reason at all. Those are the problems, we are having that type of problem that people who will not make any profit at all from this end up defending. I understand if you are working in oil world then you would defend it and that would be something very important for you since if you lose then you are losing your job as well.

However when we say that the world is burning, and we are ALREADY too late and the world is keep getting burned, then we get people saying things like "everything seems fine, you keep saying it will get worse and nothing gets worse" for some reason. Like what? How the hell you are not seeing that during summers we get nations on fire everywhere around the world. THAT is the result of us not going green earlier.

We need to go to green or not only we will be doing worse, but we will literally not have any way to stay alive neither. It is really a shame honestly and I am having a bit of a problem to understand how people could defend against green energy when there is nothing that they would profit from neither.

I thought the PSG vs Angers match was an easy match for PSG, but I realized that it was wrong after the match started because PSG struggled to score goals. PSG had lost in the first half before finally managed to equalize in the 70th minute. I think the game would have ended in a draw had the penalty not been awarded to PSG, so it's true that PSG were lucky enough to win the game although I don't think it was very difficult.
My feeling was also in same way that PSG can win this match by good margin and without any serious threat, but their strange form is going on specially playing without their few star players they were in serious trouble which is really shock for me. Their defence was terrible and attackers was also clueless in first 65 minutes. If they are going like this in future then surely it's going to be really poor for them specially in Champions League where margin of error is not available for them.

Now they have next match against a tough opponent Leipzig in just four days and after this they are going to play against tough team from French Ligue Marseille mean now title race is heating up so just do your work and have better results.

Chennai Super Kings winning the title again, after Kolkata Knight Riders winning the toss and sending Chennai Super Kings to bat, i thought it was a good decision but they let off when Chennai Super Kings scored a huge total on the board and i knew with the way Kolkata Knight Riders struggled to chase a small total in their last match they are not going to chase the score and that is what happened.
Today CSK was well-prepared for this final even lost of toss never give them any trouble their openers start with good confidence specially Du Plessis man with really class stay on pitch until end this was big win for their target. They were aware about 200 or near this target is well fight, so this achieved after this their bowlers was also good because in start KKR openers was also done good job both reach their fifties but after fall of first wicket they never reach near the target and all batting line up collapse very badly sadly most important batsmen never reach in double figure and give 4th title to CSK very easily.

After IPL, I guess most bettors here will start looking forward for T20I world cup. I guess world cup matches are more easier to bet with, as we could easily predict winners unlike IPL matches as almost all teams are equally balanced and looks stronger (but this year SRH was an exception).

Even though the odds of hitting 10000 or 00000 should be equal, in my own experience, I've had better luck with hitting 00000 as opposed to 10000. I've never gotten 10000 yet, but I have gotten 00000 two or three times in the past.
I also never have this magic figure of 10000 in my very long run here on this site but after checking this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1850855.0 thread sometime really feel jealousy, but it's all about luck, which works for very few peoples. This is also good point if they have some prize for this figure 00000 it's also good because I also have some good luck with this figure because few time I have this one in my free rolls.

Maybe 20 bucks is better? Even 2 bucks would have been better to be fair.
Even I have never got anything bigger than 20 cents ever, I guess if you allow to start sharing the winning of 2 bucks then all such topics will get flooded out when considering the userbase of freebitco.in. So, celebrating only winning of 200 bucks is making sense.

We're working on scaling our VIP host support. In an ideal world every player would get a VIP host regardless of how much they were wagering. It takes time to train someone up to a point where they can manage high value players effectively. Reality is we've 10x'd our player count the past year while being unable to scale staff headcount to deal with that but we are slowly catching up. There's no excuse for disappointing our players especially Platinum VIP's, we'll keep working hard and try and improve.
You 10x your players number in the last year? Wow I did not imagine stake, which has been around for so long (if we include primedice as well) would end up still doing something like 10x more players after so many years? Is that mainly because of pandemic and specific to this year? I mean like do you 10x your player number almost every year, or was this special to this year only?

If it is every year, then maybe you should consider hiring 100+ staff and see which one is good and which one is not and improve on that to increase VIP staff, but if it is only for this year then getting only a few and improving on that seems like a good ideal solution for temporary spikes in numbers.
790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: October 13, 2021, 05:41:00 PM
I love these qualifiers, it gives us so many easy games, there are some nations that do not have enough football talent and it makes betting easier. I won 5 different bets last night and I am quite happy about it. I wagered on Norway to win, Scotland to win (which I expected more goals but a win is a win), Serbia to win, Portugal to win and Finland to win.

I also lost two as well, I wagered England to win and Greece to win but they were wrong, yet overall, I am in much bigger profit. When it is "qualifiers" there are rarely any surprises, like andorra or moldova or whatever will always end up losing, that is true 90%+ of the time and if they are playing even slightly better team instead of obviously better then it makes betting even easier.
791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: October 12, 2021, 09:02:55 PM
A breathtaking race in every sense of the word, everyone didn't know what to do!!
I believe this is why Bottas won it because he was already the leader getting pole position from the qualifying race so to start ahead in this one.
All he needed to do was hold them all at bay the entire way. Hamilton was making moves and from the earlier laps at one point down from 11th place and got to 4th in no time. Although Alpha Tauri and Ferrari were giving him problems to pass but he managed to get through them easily.
This race basically showed me that Mercedes might have got their car a lot better in the last few races. Looking at how Max wasn't getting any closer to Bottas showed me that Mercedes must be better than Red Bull right now. Bottas is not a bad racer, you do not become second driver in a Mercedes car by being a bad driver, you need to be a great driver in order to do that.

However at the same time I believe that we know Hamilton is much much better than Bottas as well, dude won nearly every year, or maybe even every year when they were together right? In any case I feel like there is a good chance Max would have caught up to Bottas when they were so close, and he failed to do that and very convincingly as well.

It means if it wasn't Bottas, if it was Hamilton, then Max had no chance at all, he would have lost this one, when Red Bull is ahead then it is easier for them to keep Mercedes behind (as we saw from Perez vs Hamilton this race) but when Mercedes takes off, then nobody gets even closer.
792  Economy / Economics / Re: Who is Happier: Stock investors or Bitcoin investors on: October 12, 2021, 08:11:53 PM
Being happy or being rich or "doing good" are not the same thing. Even a poor person who has zero knowledge about investing can be happy, while a rich person with billions of dollars in their vault can be unhappy.

It is a matter of choice really and there will be bubbles in every speculative assets. Bitcoin's price has been speculated on and has grown so much that common people with a average earning are thinking more than twice before buying it but not thinking twice before buying a stock of a well known company which is giving regular dividends.

If someone is happy with stocks, they should stay with stocks. Venturing into another sector takes time and investment from their side, which if they are not comfortable with, they should not.

Both are speculative markets and neither are better than the other- these type of questions end up always in an apples with oranges comparison which is wrong.
This is a lie from the very wealthy people, do not believe it. I rather be sad in a lambo than happy homeless. If you are rich you could be happier, you would have the means to get stuff that makes you happy, you would not have any worries about how to pay for your next meal, you would not worry about what to wear, you would not wear about what to buy and how to pay your bills, you would not worry about the rent neither, even if you are sad and need help at least you can afford to go to a psychologist to get help.

Rich people have all the means to make themselves happy if they try, whereas poor people have tons of reasons to be sad. Money may not bring happiness, but not having money surely does. This is why there are maybe handful of sad rich people whereas there are maybe over a billion sad poor people in the world, it is clear that money DOES buy you happiness if you know what to buy.

The only thing that is concerning me is provable fairness of black jack games, I am not comfortable with black jack either (specially live dealer scenarios, lots of ways to cheat), I will play black jack if there is provable fairness without any human involvement. You can put forward a list of provable fair games in reply to this and I am ok with 0.1 BTC limit on those games. Please suggest some good escrow within this forum from your side also.
Blackjack "technically" can't be a provably fair one because you do not get the result in a mathematical way. It depends on what you do as well, you have an input on what happens, so even though there are some things that could be done to show that it is not screwing you over, it still matters what you do and that can't be put into anything to provide any proof.

Blackjack must be wagered in a place where you trust a lot, I personally do trust that winz.io is a good place and I do like to wager most things here (others are because I do not like the games, not because I do not like the place). This works in every single casino you play in.
794  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: *Day Traders* are now calling gambling Addiction helplines!! on: October 12, 2021, 06:18:05 PM
It's too extreme to call day trading the same as gambling addiction. I don't agree, it might look similar but I think it's different. indeed they are both guessing, but day trading has a strong foundation through technical analysis, and that may not be in gambling. Maybe the addiction you mean is an addiction that ends in loss. Actually day trading has a technique that must be mastered, especially emotional control. I think if you have it all will be fine.
By "fine" do you mean that you'll not lose a lot of money, or do you mean that with good emotional control you can earn money with day trading on the regular basis?

I personally think that emotional control, although necessary, is not enough. It's like in sports betting and poker, which widely compared to day trading in this thread, and rightly so, you need something more than just self control to be making money with those activities.
It is obviously not enough, I do not know what he was saying but I can say based on what I have been doing so far I can say that it is definitely not something that would be horrible for people, it is definitely something that you would be able to profit from if you can have emotional control.

However it is definitely not enough, you need to be a good trader in order to make good returns as well, it takes a while to do that but you could do it nevertheless. I personally believe that I have emotional control but even with that I am not suddenly a good trader neither, I am a decent trader at best. So you need to learn how to trade very well on top of being able to control your emotions.

Abusing the bonuses and promotions will have a huge consequences and I'm confident that in Roobet it is being monitored so better not to try at all or else you'll face bigger problem especially if you have funds on Roobet, it might get locked. Bonuses and promotions is not that big, and also it requires huge money to qualify so I don't see a reason to abuse it, that's more of being greedy to me without thinking properly, such a shame.
Unfortunately abusing will not end, even if you have punishments for it. For nearly a decade now since satoshidice started, we have seen people who tried to abuse it constantly. I have seen it when bitcoin was under 100 dollars, now it is even more rampant since the price is higher.

Even double spenders who end up using a million accounts have been doing the same thing, double spend a deposit, wager, if you lose then go with other spending so that you never really deposited anything, then you could keep doing it until you win and if you end up winning then withdraw the money and 90%+ of the time get caught and banned. They keep doing this, been so many years, rarely they succeed but they still try because it is not difficult, and preventing just means "credited after 1 confirmation" and it's done. Abusing a casino will never end, it is just way of people think, and I know how horrible it is and yet some people are still doing it for some reason.

Definitely this match between Manchester and Leicester has to be a straight win for united since this is one of their chances of securing their space for the premier league. So far the have conceded 1goal, had 1 draw  and three wins making the win against Leicester a must win.

Brentford vs Chelsea can't be a draw match Chelsea has been in their best of performance lately this should be another strai win not even negotiable.

Wartford vs Liverpool I might agree with you on this I'm not trying bto side big teams in the upcoming matches but I'm trying to define the obvious
After arrival of Ronaldo mostly peoples was feeling it's going to be very good for Manchester United but in last 6 matches they have just 2 wins 1 draw and 3 loses. Lost against Aston Villa in Premier League and Young Boys in Champions League hurt very badly so now time for some better results because from here if they are going to lose then surely they are going out of title race and big shock for fans and management which can create chaos in team as well.

Because right now, they have the best attack and some good quality players in midfields but sadly their defence is not good as they have to for big matches it's matter of concern and need some quick and good fix.

Politicians. That's the economical problem, it is the politicians but also sort of voters as well. If the voters weren't so keen on voting for the "popular" characters who might be bad presidents, and only focused on putting in the "good" politicians in, then we wouldn't have any economical problem anywhere in the world.

There are dictatorships around the world we know that much, China and Russia and north Korea comes to mind at first but I am sure there are many that are either officially or in officially dictatorship, but leaving those aside the world would have been much better if people put in place people that would be helpful to tens of millions of people in need instead of just a few thousand who are greedy. That is the economical problem that we have, fix that and you are going to fix every other thing, all the produce, all the help, everything will be done.
798  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🐺WOLF.BET - Advanced Dice Game 🎲 Sportsbook 🏟️ Slots 🎰 on: October 10, 2021, 08:28:05 PM
I used the flash bet in a system where it stops after reaching a certain profit, or certain loss. I didn't had too much to begin with so I didn't put any stops on the losses, just stop when you can't wager anymore, but I did put a stop on 10x profit. That actually hit once, normally it never hits and since I have small change here I do not care if it is all gone, maybe 10-15 times I did this and lost it all but it was like maybe 2 bucks that I was gambling with so I didn't care, nothing too important anywhere in the world.

However I ended up gambling with the same thing and won once, and it took me maybe 30 seconds tops, and that was the weirdest feeling in the world. Turning 2 dollars into 20 dollars in 30 seconds. It was really weird because it was so fast, without that speed the idea itself is not really that weird but to do that in 30 seconds? Ever since then I am quite in love with the idea.
Flash bet system is sort of like that. You can't just simply bet it and leave, you have to put reasons for it to stop as well. Without putting a reason to stop, it is so big that if you let it be forever then it will lose, there is no other scenario that could happen, you will end up with zero and there is no alternative. The only way you could either win or just not lose it all would be to put parameters in so that system would know when to stop.

For example, if you put "stop when profited this much" then it will stop there, and you will have a profit and you won't have to worry about losing that, or if you put "stop when it lost this much" then it is similar to stop loss in trading as well. There are countless others as well, you need to check every single one of those and put that data in so that system would not just simply gamble until it loses it all.
799  Economy / Economics / Re: How to protect from inflation? on: October 10, 2021, 06:48:42 PM
All the means that have been mentioned in this article are all good for saving yourself from inflation, but the levels of what you will be gaining from it differs for each of them. From the list we have here I have only invested in gold and cryptocurrency.

The first investment I had in gold wasn’t an investment I made myself, it was a free gold that was given out to me by someone as a gift. Then As for cryptocurrency I was the one who personally chose to be investing in it, and as time goes on I discovered that cryptocurrency is a better choice for me than any other that I’ve seen so far, so most of my investments are now going into cryptocurrency and it has been a way for me to retain value.
Crypto is good enough, it will always beat inflation if you could wait for it. Sure there will be periods when you lose money but at the end of the day it will always be a big profit for many people involved and I would say that it is definitely a long term best deal we could find anywhere.

I have been in stock market as well and I gotta say it is not as profitable as crypto, it is still profitable "decent enough" and not a bad thing, I am not here to bash stock market because it has made so many people so much money so far, but I can assure you that it is not a great deal, it is a decent deal at best. Crypto on the other hand is a great deal, it is one of the best I have ever seen and I will probably not see any better in the long run ever again. Which is why I keep on investing into crypto and not even look at others, and you should not be worried about it neither.

The new owner has provided 200 million pounds for the upcoming transfer window this will give Newcastle the freedom to bring in players and coaches
From the news I read they plan to bring Newcastle to the level of Man City based on the quality of the players, can you guess which players have the potential to get into Newcastle ? The first target must be a great coach because the coach knows what players he wants.
Right now Newcastle must focus on getting a new coach in my opinion, because with big funds, Newcastle could have brought in top players, however, they certainly need a new coach who is able to handle and formulate strategies for a strong squad so that they can compete later in the English league, although Steve Bruce is an experienced coach, but I don't think he has the capacity at all to handle big teams so far, I think some great managers who are still unemployed right now could be an option for Newcastle to replace Steve Bruce.
I know this sounds silly and definitely not something they can do even with enough money, either they would have to pay insanely high amount that should not be paid and make a stupid mistake, or they will offer what he is worth and not get him, but Zidane is free right now right? He is not managing any teams and dude managed to win three UCL back to back to back, that is never been done before and dude literally came in, managed, did something out of this world, and just resigned.

If they pay him the amount he wants to manage that would be one of the best all-time starts for a club. Then they can get whoever he wants and dude knows how to win so I assume he would bring Newcastle to a level that would not be achieved by any other free coach right now. They could either do that, or find a manager that is already managing a team right now which would not really be that smart, why pay their penalty when there is an all time great manager right there and he is free agent right now.
