Suppose internet access is available in all countries, and people will not have any problem to access internet connection. In that case, bitcoin adoption can be easy because people will see many advertisements on many websites. That can make people curious, and they will search for more info about bitcoin. And if that happens, the process of bitcoin adoption will grow, and the number of people who will join in the bitcoin world will also increase. I just hope that the adoption will increase in the next year after the pandemic is ended soon.

Let those people decide bitcoin is Ponzi, but if bitcoin can become globally, they will realize the benefits of bitcoin to them, and maybe if they want to join in bitcoin, that will be too late for them. While they say like that, we don't need to listen to them. We can use our time to make more and more bitcoin. We need to care about us, and always try to make more money to see what we will get from bitcoin. Someday, their eyes and mind will open to see what we have from bitcoin.

Illegal businesses can't run without political patronage. Because there will be competition between the businesses and one group will always try to take out the other (and vice versa). If you don't have any powerful people supporting you, then you won't be protected from the raids and the business will be closed down. This happens mostly in the developing nations, where large number politicians are corrupt.
When it comes to the illegal things, the owner will need support from the powerful corrupt officials to protect them from the other owner. The competition will be hard if the corrupt officials interfere with that business, and they will do everything to make sure the business is still running. This business will never stop if it can not catch the corrupt officials. It needs more attention from the honest officials to investigate and search for that illegal casino.

Lol why need to bribe when they are already the authority?because most of them are run by officials or have family member that authority.

There are many cases here related to that,when the gambling place was raided then it comes out the owner is Big fish.
Some illegal casino that doesn't bond to that officials will bribe that person to get their support, which is not a secret. But maybe they will do the transaction by secretly without anyone knows. Sometimes, the illegal casino will belong to the corrupt officials, so they will get catch too if that place is raided.

With high official involvement that is the only reason that such things can operate very much inspite being illegal. Also the gamblers would be VIP and high rollers I feel so due to which so much billions worth of bets were handled during their time. Seems somebody from them only would have tipped or got them busted.
Sometimes, those high officials can have a meeting to make a plan or expand their business. Besides the illegal casino, they will try to create new illegal things such as drug dealers.  Those people will give the best for the VIP, which has a lot of money because they can use big money for one round when they gamble. Sometimes, the casino gives a gift to them to make them satisfied with their services.

I am sure that it will lead the other countries to have their digital crypto as China does. But I wonder if that can impact the crypto itself since many countries still do not allow crypto to be used in their country. If that happens, I think that can bring new hope for the crypto to become globally in the future. We don't know what is the China government launch its digital Yuan, but we can wait for the next thing that the China government will do.
7985  Economy / Economics / Re: People lose Faith and Hope for banking and tradional markets on: October 07, 2020, 09:17:54 AM
I'm not sure that Bitcoin will hit to $100k. Anyway almost the half of Americans trust banks less in recent years. And only 8-10% of the US citizens own Bitcoin or other cryptos. This means that most still choose cash or precious metal as a store of wealth.

In my country also very less people do hold it because of the unclear government policy and media has played a very negative role here in just highlighting the scam part about it. This has resulted in people to stay away and trust and continue to use the banking services as before.

The problem of bitcoin to grow is the legality of the government. Without legality, bitcoin will difficult to grow or have a fast adoption from the people. People themselves will not feel confident or believe in the crypto because they are worried about the legality. I am not sure if people will be aware of the price volatility because bitcoin prices will always be like that.

I think bitcoin needs more time to get more adoption from the people, and while that time is not coming yet, we must use this time to make more and more bitcoin. So when that time comes, we are ready to take a part of that, and of course, we will have a chance to make money from bitcoin.
7986  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DeFi - The Scam Engine? on: October 07, 2020, 08:05:03 AM
The basic things before someone start investing is to learn, learn, and learn. We already see the DeFi projects booming, and many people making a big profit from the DeFi projects. But many people also lose from the DeFi project because they don't search for more, and makes them buy the token at a high price. It will happen to you if you don't search for the project you should invest, which will end by losing your money. If you don't want to lose your money, better start learning about the project, and don't just follow what other people say. Your money will be your responsibility, so you need to have much information before investing.
7987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vietnam bursts an illegal casino who used to handle bets worth $3 billions on: October 07, 2020, 07:19:40 AM
The illegal casino has a corrupt official besides them that they can bribe to protect their places or give info if there will be an investigation from the other officials. That illegal casino has a large income from the gamblers who always visit their place because their place is safe from the investigation. It is normal to see that happen in many countries.

It is actually very hard to prevent if officials themselves are benefiting from these illegal activities, But we should not holistically judge the authorities as not all of them does the same thing, there are still great news coming concerning illegal casinos getting busted. Just like this news. Authorities in Canada shutter down a luxury mansion that is running an illegal casino and spa inside of it.
I am sure the corrupt officials will be in many countries because it can not end. As long as they are greedy to chase more money instead of their income, the corrupt will be like that. There will still be honest officials who always try to do their best to catch the illegal casino and other things because they realize they must do that before the illegal things spread in all cities. If the honest officials can be like that, I am sure the illegal casino will worry, including the corrupt officials behind that illegal casino.
7988  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto trading P&D groups on: October 06, 2020, 10:25:01 AM
It is not trading because people just expect to wait for the pump and dump coming, so they follow the market moves. But for your information, that will need more things before you can follow that P&D group because they can manipulate the price, and they can also move the price instantly. If you don't move fast, I am afraid you will not profit, but you can buy the coin at a high price. I have the experience to follow on that group in the past, but I always have to buy or sell the coin, and once I buy at a very higher price, it makes me hold the coin for some time. I suggest you stay away from that group, and it is better you learn trading from many sources available on the internet. Once you have the skills to trade, you can analyze any coin you want to find which coin can profit.
7989  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Yeees it's happening on: October 06, 2020, 09:24:39 AM
I think you should try it, so you can tell us how it feels. That will be great news for people around your city because they will see the BTC logo and the word "Bitcoin" in that local store. I hope that it can attract many people to have a curiosity to know more about bitcoin, and maybe you can talk with the owner of that local store. You can share info or discuss other things related to bitcoin and another crypto, so the owner can try to integrate with the other coin. I don't know about the adoption process in your city, but I hope that after this, bitcoin can grow in your country, and hopefully, more people will have an interest and will use bitcoin.
7990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting: how much knowledge is too much on: October 06, 2020, 07:34:15 AM
Having good knowledge and enough information is such an advantage for you to win the game but it doesn't mean that you the odds of winning are always on your side, it will help you to know whether the opponent team is matched on the team you know, that is the only advantage that you can have in sports betting. It is really hard to bet or to choose where to bet if you don't have a little bit of knowledge about the game. It is just a full guess for you and it will only be based on the luck if you win the bet.
It will be more helpful if you are familiar with the match and know each team to help you choose the right team that has a big chance to win. But maybe we can miss something here, such as the team with a lower odds that can win than the team with a high odds, and that because of that, the team can change the field's situations. If that happens, we can not do anything because it is out of our analysis. Maybe we can try again in the next match with a different team, but make sure that you know which team will compete later.
7991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you prefer? Live casino games or slots? on: October 06, 2020, 05:37:05 AM
This could fall mainly on two aspects, if a gambler wants to have friends and to socially interact to other players, they could play live casino games such as cards, blackjack, poker, or bacarat. But if they are quite an introvert and just want to play alone, for me slots would be the best place. The sounds, animations, and excitement it gives is too much already, what more if they could win decent amount of money.

Though, most of the long term casino gambler always prefer to play live casino games.
People can easily go to the casino if, in his country, gambling is allowed. But people who live in a country that prohibit gambling, there is no other way to have social interaction with other players, but they can still play on the online casino. They can play gambling games they like, such as cards, blackjack, poker, or baccarat. But I am sure that every gambling game will have their fan, and they will play their favorite gambling games without trying the other gambling games. Maybe we can say that slots will entertain us, but the other people will not say the same as they like to play dice or crash or card games.
7992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Favorite gamemodes on: October 06, 2020, 03:51:02 AM
I've tried almost all of the game modes but I only enjoy few like crash games on Bustabit now there are so many sites that offer the same game with other types of games and crypto to use.
I would play as long as I could trust the site and it is fair I also like multiplayer games like poker.
Crash games are one of the gambling games that I enjoy playing besides dice games. But I still choose dice games to play because it's easy to play. The crash is also easy, but sometimes that game can make our heart beat faster or make more money. Crash games can make us greedy, so better you know when to stop the game. Otherwise, you will use all of your money to continue playing the game.
well I really agree with your statement because I often participate in crash games and I can get a lot of profit but I don't want to play there for long because my experience when I do it I lose all the profits I get, the point is not to be influenced and control my emotions well so as not to lose.
Hahaha, we have the same experience. One time I tried to continue playing for more rounds, but suddenly, my feeling was wrong, and I lose the money I bet. I don't make a big winning in the next round because I am too fast to click the stop button. The next round, I see the rocket can fly higher than before, so I decide to wait for a while, but suddenly after reach more than 10x, I don't click the button instead to wait for more, and the next thing that I see is the rocket is blown, and I lose that all money Cry

Crash makes us greedy, and we don't need to chase the money because that can lead us to lose all of the money.
7993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is possible that bitcoin will use nowadays in cash less transaction? on: October 05, 2020, 11:23:53 AM
I think so, people will buy bitcoin as digital money and online payment are getting more and more popular, and it should be, because money in the future should be digital not an paper, it's just matter of time.
I think the world needs more time to use bitcoin as digital money. Besides that, people in many countries now have another option to use digital money, which is not bitcoin because many countries now join with third parties such as financing applications to help their members pay the transaction using the applications. So people now prefer to use that digital money than the crypto. But I am sure in the future, people will realize that the crypto can also be used for the payment system, and we need to be patient.

Meanwhile, on the internet, merchants are trying to apply the crypto as the payment, so people who have crypto can try to pay using the crypto. If that can grow, we will see a new payment system on the internet, and maybe that can impact the offline store worldwide.
7994  Other / Archival / Re: DeFi hyip is over? on: October 05, 2020, 09:40:15 AM
I don't think the DeFi hype is over because many DeFi projects are still running to get more investors to their project, and they are waiting for the right time to make a noise at the market like before. Maybe we don't see what the project does, but I am sure that the team is still trying to make sure the project can finish as scheduled. Many DeFi projects that have been launched at the market now is down too deep. And many of the tokens can not lift the price to the last high price. Maybe that is because the bitcoin price still does not increase so high, making the DeFi still waiting and trying to invite more investors. We will see what happen to the DeFi project later, and if the DeFi still has the power to increase, it will rise again.
7995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vietnam bursts an illegal casino who used to handle bets worth $3 billions on: October 05, 2020, 08:33:40 AM
An illegal casino with such big revenue cannot operate without the blessing of government officials. I am sure a large sum of that revenue was being paid to higher people to keep them operational. Something might have gone wrong and these guys got busted. Corruption is everywhere and in a third world country it is rampant
The illegal casino has a corrupt official besides them that they can bribe to protect their places or give info if there will be an investigation from the other officials. That illegal casino has a large income from the gamblers who always visit their place because their place is safe from the investigation. It is normal to see that happen in many countries.

Winning 5 LTC is the biggest winning. I wish I can have lucky as @OP.

It happens to some people who have luck, but we can not expect to get another winning after we won the jackpot because luck will not come again to us. Maybe we can win in the next few rounds, but winning money will not be the first win. Congratulations to @OP. I hope you can get another winning in the next days.
7998  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you leverage the power of your Bitcoins? on: October 05, 2020, 05:25:50 AM
We can do many things to increase the bitcoin amount, such as trading and lending. That is what I did to have more bitcoin. I know that I can not always get a profit in bitcoin in trading because the market is not always up. But I am sure that I can profit in the next days because the market will be back at a high price. In lending, I can lend some bitcoin to the traders to get the return based on the current rate. That helps me to get more bitcoin, and I still on my way to have more bitcoin.
7999  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Government figures or politicians supporting Bitcoin? on: October 05, 2020, 04:15:56 AM
I guess if politicians are open to this kind of business maybe they will be into this, why? because if they keep their money into crypto who will know that they have this kind of investment, an amount keep from the eye of tax payers, first of all there is no way to trace your transactions point to your name due to its special features. So maybe there are lots of officials who are into this who works silently, who knows they might be one of the big whales around. Shocked Shocked
I think some politicians are open to bitcoin, and they invest some money in bitcoin too. But they don't tell their friends because they don't want to get trouble. Or they use bitcoin as the investment from the other sources' income, so they don't pay the more taxes. We don't know the truth, and we can only guess if the politicians buy bitcoin or they don't care about bitcoin.
of course they are,politicians are updated to which can be the fastest to gain money and they know about bitcoin.
some of them may have invested long ago to use for their political dreams,or some are investing in altcoins or ICO to easy money.
they might not be broadcasted but for sure there are plenty of them that involved in crypto specially bitcoin.
I wonder if one of the politicians can tell the public that they support bitcoin, and they are already investing in bitcoin. If that happens, maybe people will think that bitcoin can be the other investment source, which can give them another profit besides their jobs. That can help bitcoin to gain popularity, and the number of users that used bitcoin will increase. I am sure it will happen in the future once people realize the benefits of bitcoin to them.
