81  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do traders spend crypto when they can? on: January 07, 2020, 11:25:56 AM
Crypto is already a part of our living, not necessary we'll just put everything into purely an investment or just for trades alone, it also we consider spending it sometimes just like spending fiat money. Though I'm just a casual trader and often I'd maximize my profits in spending through buying stuff online and it feels comfortable doing this compared to fiat and it doesn't need to use credit/debit card anymore.
Crypto could be utilized as normal money. It is not as different and dangerous to be utilized as seen by most of the people who use it. Cryptocurrency is not going to decrease in demand in the upcoming years. My predictions are that the use of digital currency is going to become legal in the upcoming year.
82  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you use cryptocurrencies in your daily life? Are they useful? on: January 07, 2020, 04:15:49 AM
Until now I have not been free to use cryptocurrency for my daily life because my country has not issued a permit that cryptocurrency is one of the legal payments.  even so, I am very optimistic that the cryptocurrency will be adopted en masse in the next few years.

What about some micropayments and to have some transactions over the internet? Because I do really think we could bypass the withdrawal which is one of the barriers we are facing if the government is prohibiting us to do so, there are paypal and other platforms for us to still have money even without utilizing local exchange.
You should keep this optimism within yourself. Even in my country it has yet not achieved a legal status but I do prefer using it in my across the border transactions. This is because it is a way too quick than the local methods of payment and does not fall vulnerable to any sort of security check .Bitcoins due to their excessive usage would achieve legality in little time.
83  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel more lucky than usual when it's New Year's. on: January 07, 2020, 03:54:50 AM
I lived in this misconception, once before the New Year I had a good profit, and it happened again 2 years in a row.
I thought I was more lucky when the New Year.
Of course this is not true, the casino never changes under the influence of the social factor.
The casino is the same as always no change.
Or maybe there is?


As it was mentioned above, luck is not dependable on a calendar invented by people. Regardless of the day of the year, your win chance depends on the payout you want to get, rather than on anything else.

However, you are more likely to make profits from gambling on the New Year's eve than during regular days, because many games become +EV in times of holidays, due to the fact that sites run various promotions.
It is all about what state of mind a person holds while gambling. Luck is not an abstract idea. A person can make a win if he is playing with all his positive energy .Moreover, new year vibes are also significant because it can drive us through distinct paths which may be much different from the way we gambled before.
84  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: January 05, 2020, 12:51:36 PM
addiction is bad , people get addicted fast to which they get instant fun and enjoyment and they want to repeat them because its easy to repeat and if they win they think of doing it more , we should control our addiction before it makes things worst
When people are getting enjoyed in what they are doing, tendencies are they are repeating it over and over again because people always to get enjoyed in what they are doing. In gambling, if you are having fun in doing it there is a chance that you are getting addicted into it since you want to do it again.

There are many ways for a person to be enjoyed and gambling is just one. Why don't we spend our time in different activities where it can also give fun too. Spending time with families and travelling is one, playing online games with your friends is another one. There are many ways to be happy Cheesy. Don't spend your time and money in gambling because you can get addicted into it.
Gambling addicts are not easy to be handled .I have witnessed such cases where a person is always ready to sale his house just to ensure a recovery of the loss he has faced in the past through big win. But unfortunately it does not become possible most of the time just because of depression .Addicts could survive if they are provided the paths for monetary benefits.
85  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How many ICOs you know launched their product and are doing well? on: January 02, 2020, 12:59:23 PM
I participated in the AZBIT project and they really do everything that they promise and on December 31 they launched their platform. their token is successfully traded on the exchange and they constantly make new updates. the price of the token is very low but I believe in the work that they are doing and soon my investment will bring me a good result

It is good to hear that do far things are working fine for you and the project you trusted is actually on the track. I really hope that it does not turn out to be another of scam but still try not to get involved entirely into this. Do participate in it but partially. The first choice and investment should be one of the old coins as those are destined to gain value and hold bright futures. Diversification is good indeed.
86  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people still fall victim to obvious scam? on: January 02, 2020, 12:04:39 PM
It is because of greed! Most people know and understand if something is a "scam" by just analyzing it. But, people still fall for those obvious scam because they get greedy. They see opportunity over there and then they jump for it. They know about the risk of getting scammed, but they kinda wants to dare. Think about those ponzie schemes. We all know those schemes mainly works like in first come first serve basis and rest of them gets scammed. Those first people make insane profits. Now, people due to greed wants to take those risks and thus eventually falls for the scam.
That is so true. The amount or rewards of scams are always this big that they force the investor to at least give it one try. Even after having all the doubts, they still prefer to believe that one percent of chance for winning big amounts. Other than that, people who try to go for shortcuts and desire big changes with little to no effort, fall victim to all kinds of frauds, whether in digital or real world.
87  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Much WOW?!?! on: January 02, 2020, 10:37:46 AM
I am very disappointed with what is happening with the development of ETH. despite the loud statements of the team, etc. we do not see any positive changes not in the technological plan and in no other way. I do not sell ETH now, but I definitely believe that we will not see ETH for $ 1,500 anymore. most likely this will never happen

We can see after Ethereum released 2.0 I think it will have a good movement and prices will continue to rise, and I am sure Ethereum will reach the highest level again in the next few months only now the price is low whether this is the effect of Christmas and holidays so Many sell it for holidays after Christmas.

It was always been a yearly speculation to say that ethereum's market price will surge up because of the forks and upgrades. Though, with the previous one, there aren't really a good indication of market price there. But I still believe that updates and upgrades do really impact the market greatly and it might not be readily noticeable, it could be experience in a slow phased market development.

You are right, Ethereum is one of the great crypto and is worth investing but sad to say that it didn't meet our expectation, but it is fine as it has been very grateful for all of us through the years and its journey is not yet done, so we can still have the chance as they are doing something to make it great, let's watch out.

Low level crypto exchanges and business are listing there platform at the train to move there business taken but ethereum at second level of cryptocurrency doesn't do anything to boom their business on cryptocurrency space.
Without doubting the potential of ethereum, it is good for new businesses to use ethereum for their development but we are most probably forgetting the main source behind the changes of digital coin market. Ethereum is not independent indeed. It needs bitcoin for many things. For instance, its gain in value. If altcoins are going through bearish market then it is definitely not their fault or choice. Just wait for the right moment.
88  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you ever trade at work? on: December 30, 2019, 07:28:16 PM
Before I quit my job, I used to trade a lot at work but I used to do it on my own personal computer but at that stage in my life, I was ready to make the transition to being an entrepreneur because my job just wasn't challenging anymore and so I used to trade in my free time, this was a time when trading could be done by any noob and they would still make mad profits because everything was just mooning like crazy, the good old days, I don't regret that decision though.
Lucky you! That you entered in the market when everything was gold and you easily got hands on profits. I at times regret not joining the market earlier but that is okay if I am still making some small profits. If you have really quitted job and started some other stuff where you are owner, I am really impressed because this is what we need in our people i.e. independency and that is the same reason why people like bitcoin.
89  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Learning to trade on: December 30, 2019, 07:11:40 PM
When I first learned about trading, I always applied a number of things to the following
  • Know yourself
  • Do what we understand
  • Choosing the right time when trading
  • Study the market, understand the technical factors of prices and fundamentals
  • Prioritize money management to minimize losses
  • As a trader must be able to hold emotions

Image Source: Livecoinwatch.com
You have successfully I believe enlisted all the required factors that has to be considered by a trader to make some money and carry out productive trading. But I have more emphasis on two points i.e. knowing technical things about market and having good control over emotions. These are basically the areas where majority of traders struggle. They are unable to understand market trends properly.
90  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Counted Or Estimate All Your Losses And.... on: December 30, 2019, 06:50:10 PM
If the person is not counting the losses and win. how the person know if are performing well or not? How the person know that should improve or not? To draw a strategy the person will need to have loss and win data. I particularly whenever I lose try to know where I went wrong and because of that I constantly follow all my losses

I don't know of a gambler that is meticulous as you, lol. All the gamblers that I know only brags when they win specially big so I doubt that they track their losses. Doesn't matter if it is a luck based or sports betting or strategy based game. Gamblers don't write everything, they are playing for the rush or winning.
Even if they only brag about their winnings, I am pretty sure they still remember their huge losses it is just they are not talking about them for maintaining their images. As a matter of fact, humans remember their losses and hardships better than happy moments so they do have tracks of their losses. Of course gamblers don’t like to mention about everything they do in gambling to keep having edge.
91  Economy / Economics / Re: Taxless society idea on: December 30, 2019, 03:15:36 PM
In the history of mankind there have been many cases when people tried to create, as it seemed to them, a more just society without taxes. All of them were defeated, because financing of common needs is necessary in any society. Another thing is how to effectively use taxes, but this is another matter.
Most of the people are in favor of taxes but the issue is they don’t trust governments most of the times with their money as corrupt politicians use them for their own purposes and needs. This is important for running a society that rich people pay some money or give it to poor to help them meeting their basic human needs and this is what taxes are supposed to do. Everybody would like to pays taxes if they know where they are being used.
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's really good have you received from the results of the gambling bounty on: December 29, 2019, 03:27:24 PM
Because the results of this year's bounty are decreasing, even many of the bounty hunters do not earning from bounties, do many of you who don't usually take part in the bounty gambling, now move to bounty gambling to remain earning from the bounty, because I saw in this forum bounty gambling still pay well and continue to live, bounty gambling is an alternative to earning from bounty.
And does anyone of you make income to become from the bounties gambling to fulfill your daily life?

If you are referring to signature campaign then I have to say that you or anyone should not use it as a main source of income. Although the amount you can earn is good enough but you should not rely on, dont even risk your real life job for any bounties in the online world. For me, any signature campaigns is just a bonus for being active in this forum. I do not even use it for daily life needs as most of the time I use what I earn from the bounties to gamble on the site that I promotes through the signature campaign

If anything, it can be a good start

I mean you may barely make ends meet with your real-life job, and that might not be going to change in the foreseeable future (say, you live is a really backward place or in a third-world country). Then, with a signature campaign's earnings, you can build some starting capital which you can use to bootstrap yourself and embark on a journey of your own choosing. Or you can just become a trader with that money (but your mileage may vary)

You're right. Even a small income from signature companies expands your opportunities and gives you some choice of what to do with this earnings further.
As you said, you can become a trader, or exchange bitcoin for something worse, for example, altcoins, you can also become a holder or buy coins with the possibility of stacking.
In extreme cases, you can just go and buy some food, which is a lot of importance. Opportunities - this is what cryptocurrency is.

Those people who want to do invest in gambling and trading but they have hard time in acquiring capital; they can join in signature campaign in order to have a source of capital. I actually join in signature campaign in order for me to do gamble. The payment is directly to the gambling site and I can easily play dice game and betting game. Even the payment is small, I manage to grow it.
Signature campaigns have always been there helping people out with building their source of collecting capital so that they can invest it into gambling or simply use it for purchasing crypto currencies. Well this is really amazing that you are able to grow the little amount you are receiving from signature campaigns. I hope you would not mind sharing details of this campaign so that other gamblers also benefit from it.
93  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with Fiat or Crypto? on: December 29, 2019, 03:12:32 PM
i love my crypto and i dont want to waste and risk for gambling so i choose playing using Fiat whenever i wanna gamble now.
because i have learned to value my precious currency in my folio so why need to gamble when i have cash to make my habit filled?
This is really stupid and absurd to gamble with crypto because they keep increasing in value and once you lose them, it is really hard to win them back or even purchase via fiat. I personally feel that gambling with fiat is much more reliable and recoverable but here again you need to be careful. Investing too much fiat can also make you poor. I believe majority of land casinos have gambling games with fiat.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decisions for a better life on: December 29, 2019, 02:51:36 PM
A person should never have to think about this decision, unless they are estranged from their family or something. Succumbing to addiction is something nobody should ever do as it will just make your life worse than it already is.

Gambling or say money is such a thing that people forget the relationships in front of money and this I have seen it practically also . Only a self disciplined or say who have a good control can resist from such addiction else people are prone to it .
We should keep out relations at first priority and we should spend with family as well because gambling is not all we need in life but we just need some family. So we should gamble but don’t be greedy to spend time earning all the time and no time for people who live around us as this way we can become addicted to gambling which is not a good thing at all.
you can tell that to the addicted gamblers and let us see what is their reaction because for them it is not the family that is first instead the addiction is their priority and they can spend all their money just to gamble and let their family starved(and that is the sadness reality about the bad side of gambling)yeah we can find happiness when playing but we can also ruined life because of gambling.
This is why it is said that we shall keep an eye on our family members in order to prevent them from becoming an addict. But this is really heartrending when people invest their last pennies even into gambling leaving their families ruined and lost. I have personally observed that poor people are the ones who gamble to the level where they risk their lives and their families’ lives as well.
95  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin goes down, no new rich people anymore on: December 29, 2019, 12:30:52 PM
I think you're talking about people who had invested when it was all time high and trying to hold their way through these dumps. I don't think any rich people are investing at this level.. they have already invested in the low dumps of 3k$ and they have become richer.
Investing into bitcoin at any price keeps you in the list of those who are going to earn some good profit. One thing is sure about bitcoin that it does increases in value after every almost a year and in between it shows some fluctuations as well to give people chances of making small profits. I believe rich are actually those people who literally invest into bitcoin at damn low prices and sell it during hard pumps.
96  Economy / Economics / Re: New bill would make Facebook’s cryptocurrency a security under the law on: December 28, 2019, 06:25:04 AM
Zuckerberg will certainly do everything according to the law and Libra will enter the top positions of the cryptocurrency market. I believe that Libra will be in that on the CMC market.

Libra is already on the CMC market even if it is still an idea. That is how influential Libra is and that is also an indication of how it could really become a very influential stable coin. It does not have a price yet nor a volume nor a market cap but it has already hit the list of the famous coinmarketcap. But now, it will be of no use because it will not be launched soon.
If the coin was supposed to release by the end of 2019, there were maximum chances that it would have created a lot of hype with countless numbers of investors. The launching is expected by April or may of 2020 I guess and by then halving is also expected. At that time market will be full of competition but right now Libra would have not faced any serious competition since bitcoin is in down phase.
97  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Bankers Say Cryptocurrencies Do Not Threat The Global Financial Stability on: December 27, 2019, 01:53:25 PM
I think as long as crypto is not used as the main currency then it will still be fine for global finance, it is different when many countries have made crypto as the currency of their country and then the people switch to crypto, then at least it is a threat also to finally. But no one knows about the future and I think the government will very attention about this so it will keep the balance well maintained.
Well crypto currencies are threat in a way that they are simply making people independent of government. They are not allowing government to interfere in the financial matters of people as there is no taxation on crypto currencies. For common people, cryptos are great but for government tax department, they could act as a threat but at present they are not doing any harm.
I am pretty sure that government will figure out a way to put some taxes on bitcoin transactions or on over all crypto market. I often say that if governments make deals with exchanges through which people buy bitcoin or make transactions, then government is able to grab its share from crypto users. There is no way government will leave this industry free of taxes and this is why they are not legalizing it yet.
98  Economy / Economics / Re: How many bitcoiners on here have actually used bitcoin/crypto for commerce? on: December 27, 2019, 01:36:40 PM
I use bitcoin as a payment for utilities and there is nothing like this. I also use Bitcoin as a payment for everything that interests me in everyday life.
This is so exciting and relieving to see the practical applications of bitcoin in real life. We need more and more people to use bitcoin for paying the dues of their daily utilities and needs so that other people can get attracted to this currency as well. We need more and more people in this market to get it legalized all over the world. Legalization will further increase the value of bitcoin leaving all of us richer.
99  Economy / Economics / Re: You want to get rich, don’t pay taxes, don’t get married, don’t use bank, and... on: December 27, 2019, 11:22:05 AM
You need to get married in order to continue your family. As for getting rich, you need to try and make yourself rich yourself. No one will help and will not tell you then.
We all get married in order to start family but there are certain exceptions where people get married just to get rich and that are why they are termed as gold diggers. These people are using shortcuts for getting married but again they can lose all within seconds because of divorces. The only money that stays with you always is the one which you have earned through hard work not through shortcuts.

no one in their right mind can say BCCI is not corrupt but it doesn't mean they are alone in this game of corruption. the only difference is BCCI got bigger share and lot to lose.
Makes sense. Every board is corrupt to an extent including pathetic ICC who stick to their archaic rules(Example : Use boundary count to decide the winner of a World tournament).

They smartly poke famous players on social media and act like they are the central authority when BCCI is the actual central authority working behind the scenes like the Illuminati using ICC as their puppets due to obvious reasons.
There are many propagandas operating on large scales in world and as far as illuminatis are concerned, they never make those puppets that are not having impact all over the world. ICC has many stupid rules like the one you have mentioned and there are often seen scandals about this board as well. The political pressure and economical influence of countries also affect the decisions being taken by ICC.
