8701  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can i trust new IEO on the new exchange? on: October 22, 2019, 07:48:42 AM
can anyone invest in new IEO listing in new exchange or it will be risk, i think if the price is low, it have the chance to increase, o what is the experts opinion?

Anyone can invest in a new IEO listing in the new exchange, but you don't know if the new exchange will give you a profit or not. The new exchange still searching for new members and invite them to trade on their site. But remember, the risk will always be there, and it's better not to risk big money to invest in IEO. Even if the price is low, it doesn't mean you can invest in big money, but that will your decision. The risk will be yours, so you need to think twice about investing in the new IEO in the new exchange.
8702  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BAKKT The Pump To November on: October 22, 2019, 05:48:12 AM
I don't think Bakkt's presence has any effect on Bitcoin at all. see we will not be launched even if nothing happens, even the trade volume of bakkt is very small, even though before a lot of media said that when bakkt was launched bitcoin would go up high.

We don't know yet, and everything can happen in the crypto. And if bakkt can give more reaction to people, then I think bitcoin will have a chance to go up high. With the situation now, bitcoin still waiting for a good moment to increase, and even though the price is up and down every day, we will see bitcoin price will break the highest price. We have at least 8 days to go to the next month, and who knows, at the end of this month, bitcoin can slowly increase and break every high price. And in November, the price can have a real increase, and that will trigger the bull market to comes.

Good thing they have announced it before they finally closed it down in different countries. I can't imagine if ever they go shut it down without prior notice to everyone making it as an exit scam like other scam exchanges does. Hope those users tend to withdraw their funds last Oct. 18. I've read here that their bitlicense was denied. That is the main reason why they are shutting down with 31 countries.

They will not do that. They will give announcements to their members who lived in the country on the list. Members still have at least a week to withdraw all of their coins and move to another exchange. I guess that binance will get these benefits from the members of Bittrex because they can move to binance which don't require to complete the KYC. That could be one of the reasons why Bittrex is shutting down with 31 countries, but still, we can only guess for the real reason. We hope all members from the country on that list can withdraw their funds without a problem at all.
8704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: October 22, 2019, 02:34:28 AM
The only people I know that are making a living through gambling are those professionals in Poker and cockfighting. Through their gambling career they are making huge amount of money and even put up a business and acquire luxurious properties out of their income enough to support their families. But for ordinary gamblers I bet its impossible.

Nothing impossible, but it's very hard to earn money from gambling. If you don't know when luck comes, then that will almost impossible but still possible because perhaps, luck will comes to you on another day. I am sure that professional gamblers in a poker game can earn money from the tournament or playing with another player. But they need to have skills inside the games so they can win many times. We can also have skills like them, but we need to learn hard to master the skills.
8705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Donating the Gambling profits on: October 22, 2019, 01:33:20 AM
In my principle, contributing or helping others is mandatory. Don't see where the money comes from, as long as we have good intentions, then do it. I myself don't really care about what I get from gambling, whether it's dirty or not. As long as I win in gambling, I will do that. Donate and help others with the results of gambling.

Then if you want to donate, don't do it on charities or else your money will not be given to the people who needed the purpose. It will only go to the pocket of the administration of that charity. Just give it directly to the people who you think needed your help and not on charities.

It is better to give that money to people who really needed. Or we can buy some food for people that we meet in the street. That will help them to eat something. Sometimes the money will be worth it for people than to donate to charities because people can use the money to buy their needs, and I am sure they will be happy to receive that money. But since we cannot always win in gambling, we can use the other money to donate so we can still help other people.
8706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Things That Comes Into Your Mind When Winning... on: October 22, 2019, 12:26:34 AM
Honestly, the first thing that came into my mind when I was winning was to play and win again until I earn more which lead me to losses. I almost forgot all the risks of gambling and that there's no guarantee that I could win all the time no matter what my strategy is. From then on, I have set a target goal so I would know when to stop.

That is great. At least, you know when to stop. Not many gamblers can understand that, and if they win, they still chase another win because the gamblers forget that once they decide to continue, their chance to win will not bigger than before, and even they can lose all the winning money. It is better to be wise if you win so you can prevent to lose money for another round. Don't tempt to play another round because you don't know if you win again or not, and it's better to save that money.
8707  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What can make more profit ? on: October 21, 2019, 06:09:31 AM
What you think more profit, participate in IEO or wait after IEO and buy the token from exchanges?

Usually, participate in IEO can be profitable because the price is a sale at a very low price. And after the project gets listed on the exchange, the price starts to increase even though it will get dump too deep. But that is not guaranteed for most IEO because sometimes, the project doesn't get attention from people in the market. So the price is only getting down too deep even if the project listed on the exchanges. So that will be your choice, whether you prefer to participate in IEO or buy the token from exchanges. But for me, I prefer to wait for a while and buy the token from the exchanges.
8708  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top 10 Cryptocurrencies Predicted to Dominate the Market in 2020 on: October 21, 2019, 05:04:47 AM
I am also checking the potential of BNB, GRIN, and RVN, but as per me, before you invest in different altcoins, better to make sure you have Bitcoin and Ethereum as we all know that they are better and stable. But still depends on you how you are going to manage your fund.

Yes, bitcoin is the main investment, and right now, bitcoin has started to increase, so the chance for the price to reach the highest price will come. Ethereum will be the next potential coin, which can increases too as they will launch ethereum 2.0 in the next year. So that can help the price to increase to a higher rate. BNB, GRIN can also increase and will be the next potential coin in the next bull market, but we have many other coins that can rise too. I think we have chosen different coins to buy at this time, but no matter what coin you choose, you need to be careful and make sure to buy at a low price.
8709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Donating the Gambling profits on: October 21, 2019, 02:53:27 AM
Have you ever thought of donating the gambling profits to a charitable cause ?  Sometime people won a big lottery or very high amount of money from betting & gambling games.  Do you ever thought of being generous and helping the poor with this money ?

No, I never do that because I don't have a chance to win big money in gambling. Besides that, I don't want to try to donate the money from gambling because some people are not comfortable to receive the money from gambling. Even though they don't ask where the money comes, I feel that it is not right for me to donate the money.

But if I can win big money from gambling, I will donate some money to charity, but I don't tell them the source of the funds. I don't want them to reject the money because the money comes from gambling games.
8710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: October 21, 2019, 01:48:08 AM
Just curious here.
I know there are tons of way to live.

but is there such a thing as professional gamblers?

people who make a living onlyout of gambling (online or on rl)?

resources and comments on that are really welcome.
I think you can live from the gambling, but it seems to be more easy to live by doing financial gambling, because the house edge is lower and because there is a little bit less randomness. What is the more similar as gamble in the finance, is the trade of options I think, because it's very similar as betting.

Yes, he can live from gambling, but he needs to have many things before he can start earning money from gambling. We know gambling related to luck and skill, so if he doesn't have one of two conditions of that, he cannot make money from gambling. We guess that some gamblers can make money in online gambling or real-life gambling, but perhaps, we don't meet them already, so we still guessing who are they.

Trade of options can be very similar to betting, but if he can have skills to determine where the market or the price goes, he is not betting with the market. He analyzed the price so he can buy and sell at a price he wants.
8711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To bust Casino? Blackjack, myths and reality on: October 21, 2019, 12:17:56 AM
~snip~
I don’t believe that it’s all tied to luck, it’s unfortunate the aspect of being skilled has greatly been underrated and little wonder why everyone sees gambling as just a place to try their luck without ever think or planning of become better with skills which I don’t know if it is because they only see it as game of luck.

This mentality is mainly the reason we have so many failed and unsuccessful gamblers all over the world. Those who believe in skills in winning have been successfully beating the house edge and there are numerous lists of gamblers that have done this. They might not come out to say it because they are aware a lot of people believe in luck and nothing can ever be said to change what they believe.

That will be tied to luck if you want to win in gambling, but the skills aspect will help too as in sports betting and poker, that is another factor which can lead you to win. Most people who gamble don't think or planning to be skillful because first they come to gambling place is just have fun. But then they curious more so they play more and more. Some of them learn to gamble, while others not and only depend on luck.


What if the myth to beat the casino is the knowledge of mathematics and probabilities? As you know, everyone who's in a highschool already studied how math uncovers the possibilities of winning in a game, or for something to happen. If we will try our best to rely on computation, there would be a chance that we can take advantage of most of the games that we are playing in some gambling platforms.

That could be. But do you know how many people can study math or computation better than the others? Not many, I guess. We know that people who can win in gambling are also not much, and most of them lost in gambling.
8712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how i can protect offline wallet ? on: October 20, 2019, 05:58:30 AM
my friends lost his coins from offline wallet when he was chatting online on facebook messenger
sure he can't restore his coin
so how can protect offline wallet ?

Wait, did your friend met with his friend from facebook messenger or what? You need to explain more details so we can know the whole of the story, and we can give suggestions on protecting the offline wallet.

But, the first thing that you should do to protect your offline wallet is never telling people who you don't trust, don't tell them that you have a crypto coin in your house. Keep it for yourself and your trust person so only you and he/she that will know. That is the basics way to protect the wallet, no matter if that is an offline wallet, wallet in your android phone, or wallet on your computer.
8713  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A million altcoins on: October 20, 2019, 04:47:22 AM
For the unprofitable altcoin, yes, they will not survive in the bear market. That altcoin will disappear as soon as the market reset so that the useless coins will delist from all exchanges. But many other altcoins can survive because the project still running and still update to reach every phase they have. If you check on the marketcap, we have a 2415 coin list currently, but only 2054 is still struggling in the bear market. Perhaps, in the next bull market will give them a chance for them to rise again, so we know which coin will have a better position.
8714  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If You Died Tomorrow, What Would Happen To Your Crypto? on: October 20, 2019, 03:25:21 AM
"What happens to my crypto if I was to die unexpectedly soon?"

I am sure many of us have a plan if they die soon. Perhaps, they will give their crypto to a beloved person before they died.


1) Include all your wallets and passwords/seeds in your will. Make sure you include instructions on how to access your funds as well as giving these to someone not familiar with crypto will be just as useless as not even including them in your will.

2) Along with the will, teach the closest person in your life how to access your funds. Whether this is your significant other, family member, or really close friend, make sure someone understands how to access a wallet and transfer/sell the funds. Just like how you should be researching projects before you invest in it, make sure you choose who you share your secrets with carefully.

Related to numbers 1 and 2, I think most of us already prepare for that, and they will give all their wallets and passwords/seeds at the right time. They already teach their beloved person how to use the crypto and tells about everything they know for that person.


3) Take a look at Safe Haven. Safe Haven is building an Inheritance Platform that will allow you to do everything above, but with a legal entity that understands crypto and will make sure your funds get in the right hands.

I don't know anything about that project. I instead choose the profitable crypto like bitcoin and the other altcoin list from the top 10 or 20 at the coinmarketcap as the investment. But I want bitcoin as the main investment, so if I died, the person who I choose could use all of my cryptos without a problem.
8715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will be the Faith of Casino business owners? on: October 20, 2019, 02:24:43 AM
Well many casinos know that VPNs can help players from prohibited countries to play but that doesn't mean that players are "safe" because even VPNs can be tracked and if the government wants, it can track it as well! The gambling sites encourage those players to play via VPN but they won't take responsibility if the player gets prosecuted Wink

At least, if we want to use a VPN, we need to make sure to use only a recommended VPN and tried to be their Premium Members. By being the Premium Members, we have many options of IP that we can use to hide our IP. I think that will not make the government suspicious, especially if we don't use big money to gamble. And perhaps, the ISP provider will not track our activity too. As long as we know how to use a VPN properly, then that will be no problem for us.
8716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learn to play Dice on: October 20, 2019, 01:24:12 AM
Youtube is easier to be able to know the tricks to play dice but indeed you yourself must really understand about the risk of gambling. opium is strong enough that I myself am addicted to gambling dice until all my money is used up in playing. but I suggest it is only for a game

Even though they know all the tricks to play dice, it doesn't mean they can win dice games with easy because in dice games need to have lucky. Many gamblers know about that, but they don't mind to play, and loss and even some of them are still playing dice games. The other thing that we must concern is how we can prevent the addicted to gambling because once we become addicted, it is tough to get out of the games. You can learn dice from many sources, as long as you can control yourself, and the important is you need to manage your money to play gambling.

-snip-

Perhaps, that person is very desperate on how to win in gambling games. They tried to believe in voodoo and try to use that "magic" to help them to win. . . . So perhaps, voodoo is still used by some people who really believe in that thing.
Yes, there may still be people who believes in voodoo while gambling. Apart from being desperate, as you have said, maybe they believe in such because they had the experience. I mean, they used voodoo before and then it worked well with their gambling, they won. That's why they continued that belief. Maybe a big setback is the only thing to change their minds. Or maybe it won't. Who knows, right?

I am sure they will not tell us if they used voodoo or not because that is their secret, and they don't want other people to know. Besides that, we don't know if that way can help them to win or not. Yes, some of them still believe in voodoo can help them in gambling. When we talk about traditional gambling, maybe there is a gambler who used voodoo because they already used it for a long time ago. But the name will not be the same as in other places.
8718  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to protect your crypto before death? on: October 19, 2019, 04:33:09 AM
All you have to do is write a letter and submit your wallet to your lawyer. Or you can also buy a hardware wallet and store it in a (valuable) box and then tell your child, will give this box when you die, if your child knows that you have crypto, this case will be easy. What I recommend the most is to say it now to your family before you die.
Or you can simply tell your family regarding crypto, you can help them understand how valuable it is.
Telling it before anything happens to you, would be better so you can simply give them what you have when the time has come.

Perhaps, we should tell them and teach them how to use crypto so they can learn by themselves. And if the time almost comes, we can give our crypto to them and tell them that they now can use your crypto. With some explanation, I think they will understand, and you can choose the right person to continue with what you're doing. I am sure if they can use the wallet for a good thing, they will not use it for the illegal thing because they are a good person that has chosen by you.

It is hard to be a newbie in the crypto market and attract new customers hence the commissions and other incentives.
The volumes are low because it is a small exchange. For now.
There's like 50k EUR in BTC market's depth. Come and take it all. Or is it too little for you?
The design... well, thank you for the feedback.

Don't you think that an unknown exchange with millions in volume, hundreds in trading pairs with flashy as hell design is not suspicious? We are not trying to pretend that we are not. We are small. For now.


Well, that will depend on how you promote your exchange to the public, especially in the cryptocurrency community. Perhaps, you can give other promotions, make some programs that will attract more customers to come to your site. The important thing for a new exchange is just promotion because without making a promotion, it is impossible for any new site can grow. You can share your website on social media, and I guess that will be a good media to promote your exchange. Besides that, you can influence more people to visit your exchange.
8720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think Voodoo works in Gambling Games? on: October 19, 2019, 02:24:39 AM
The practice and the believe of voodoo to work or make ones to win in gambling is just an act of lazy gamblers which believe gambling is a quick to rich scheme where in the end gamblers winning level are determine by strategy and luck.

Perhaps, that person is very desperate on how to win in gambling games. They tried to believe in voodoo and try to use that "magic" to help them to win. But we don't think that they will win the game as in gambling, that thing will not help us, but we need the luck to get the win. If they play a game like a poker or sports betting, they need to have a strategy, information, and luck. So perhaps, voodoo is still used by some people who really believe in that thing.
