901  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: dont stop been a bounty hunter because of present condition on: August 13, 2019, 09:25:20 AM
I have not participated in bounty projects since early 2018, it is said that 90% of bounty projects are dishonest.  And in fact, I also took a lot of time for bounty projects.

I have a brother that just make around 0.86btc from a bounty that he participated in 2018. When he encouraged me to join the bounty I disagreed with him because I have participated in many bounties that turned out to be a scam and some of them I even invested money! One thing I have learned is to participate in all the available bounties as you don't know the one that will turn profits for you. Since it is free to join I see it as a less risk compared to investing and trading.

Indeed, bounties are free to join rather than having to invest in the project, but when you join many projects, are you able to manage them? I myself will be overwhelmed by the 5 bounty projects, maybe it can if you do not have a job or are not in school.

Let's just say you joined 20 projects, I think it's already very much but the percentage of fraud from the 20 projects is bigger, it could be 80% and I don't know how much money you can get from the remaining 20%.

For me it's better to join a few projects but with clear research, so don't increase quantity but improve quality.

There are many esports sites that you can find on Google, including gambling sites, but not all sites on Google you can trust. I myself rarely play on the esports gambling site, but I like some esports games and play until now. If you are interested in gambling on esports, the following are recommendations of sites reviewed by @RyanK

903  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie - when to take profit on: August 13, 2019, 07:03:58 AM
You can’t say absolutely exactly after what price increase you need to sell. This question can be answered by technical analysis. Otherwise, it will be just a random choice. The price after the sale may continue to rise for a long time, or may immediately fall. Therefore, it is better to look at the chart and look for signs of market strength or weakness there.

Not even technical analysis can answer that, actually no one can really say when to take profit because we don't have the crystal ball so know what will going to happen in the future. To the OP, why don't you learn about entry and exit strategy. This is a good tip for beginners like you so that you can manage your profit if you have this kind of strategy.

Namely the entry and exit strategy must be done with technical analysis. Your statement is true that no one really knows when to take profits, but with technical analysis we know when to take profits and not take profits carelessly.

And for OP, please study in-depth technical analysis again, you will know how to entry and exit trading. When you have made a profit, you can buy back if your technical analysis says prices will continue to rise, but if your technical analysis says otherwise then you must determine the support line to buy back.

last bets displayed on top of the list is not ,actually , the last bet but some randomly picked bet from the list of your past bets
I have yet to determine the complicated algorythm behind the pick , but again annoying and unnecessary
there are autobet freezes on my Firefox , lags when you switch to the Races tab etc.
but I guess its the growing pains , the site is new

do not get me wrong , its a very decent new dice, but for a pro dicer , it is extremely inconvenient to be betting for a long time here

Well I understand your complaint, maybe you can submit that complaint through their live chat or twitter. Please understand because wolf.bet itself is a new gambling site that is no more than 3 months old and it's only natural that it still has shortcomings, but I'm sure the developer will collect your complaints and develop them better again.

But in my opinion, a new site like wolf.bet is already very good in its development compared to other new gambling sites, it's just that they need to fix a little what constrains the user. I hope you are comfortable gambling on wolf.bet.
905  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My Trading Success on: August 12, 2019, 05:53:53 PM
Hmmm, I'm happy with your success in trading. You have been trading since March 11 and have made 12% profit, I guessed you TP on April 2, where bitcoin is undergoing a big pump. And April 2 is also the beginning of a trend reversal from bearish to bullish, I think you are very lucky at that time.

Well, maybe so far you have never felt a bearish market like 2018 yesterday where many traders, miners, investors are desperate. Maybe if you feel that you will know what it's like to be in a bearish market, this time you are lucky to enter the market when the market will be reversing the trend. But I hope you will continue to trade and like your trade despite any trends.
906  Economy / Gambling / Re: Showcasing Bitcoin casino bonuses & casinos on: August 12, 2019, 12:28:25 PM
What are your basis on adding the bitcoin casino you added in your site and I also support adding a review about the site that you will be adding in your trust so people will know about it and won't be scam playing a casino that you added. I suggest you that you listen and take notes of every suggestion that people advise here.

hmm yeah, that looks good. And it might be interesting if a comment column is provided so that other gamblers can provide a live review on each page, but with the condition that each comment must be moderated so as not to cause a detrimental review to the casino being reviewed.

Oh yeah, I think they can also add every event that is taking place on each gambling site, so that the information is more complete and attracts many gamblers to use their website services.

There are many platforms that provide virtual prepaid debit card services, I myself have several prepaid cards from Payooner, Wirex, Entropay, Netteler. I have used these platforms to trade and shop in ecommerce. So far there are no problems, it's just that some platforms have different costs.

908  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how to invest safely in cryptocurrency? on: August 12, 2019, 08:37:53 AM
1. the project runs according to the roadmap and whitepaper that has been made;
2. cryptocurrency that we invest in already has a product;
3. the team always updates about the progress that is happening in the project that we invest;
4. invest in project that are in the top 1-500 in coinmarketpcap (have a high volume);
5. the project we want to invest has been running for a long time (if I personally never invested in a new project), because investing in new project has a greater risk than we invest in old project.

I agree with all the points except the 4th point, I think the coins that are below the top 20 on average are hype coins, although not all of them but most of the coins are driven by hype. If you really have to choose coins to invest, I prefer coins among the top 20 that match your points above. Moreover, you will not invest in 100 coins right? so it's better to focus on 5-10 coins in the top 20, that's enough and safer. Surely you have to analyze more deeply, if you need to use due diligence to get better results.
909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did you ever won a huge amount on gambling? on: August 12, 2019, 05:46:44 AM
Now can I ask you, did you ever won a huge amount of money on gambling?
Share your experience.

I certainly have, so have others, but what do you mean by a big win? Maybe for me, my biggest win was when I won 50% of my total capital in a day. Well, this is because gambling is not as easy as we think, and for me the win of 50% is a rare moment that is just a coincidence.

But it's useless, if after a big win it actually makes us greedy or even more loss. I myself do not need a big win, but I need a consistent win even though few profits.
910  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance Hackers Bombard Chipmixer to Launder at Least 4,836 BTC on: August 12, 2019, 04:51:14 AM
This surely is a bad light for Chipmixer now, although I believe that they won't openly cooperate and maintain full control of their mixing operations, but the main question is until when? They are a decent mixing service and a trusted name at that department, although once people knew that the said mixing service openly gave all the necessary info as to what happened to the coins and where it landed, I doubt people will still trust the said service. This is what my fears are for mixers, and was just a matter of time before news like this one surface. FATF, FBI and other agencies would come at Chipmixer's front door knocking and asking whether they want to cooperate or not, and I hope they know how to handle such issue.

Well, maybe this is a nightmare for chipmixers if binance really demands chipmixers, even though chipmixers are just a service, but because the services can launder money, they can be dragged into the case of hacking Binance. Especially if the country where the chipmixer stands is a member FATF, this will be an initiative action for the government of the country to further investigate cases like this. But here I hope the chipmixer will be fine because I also need a mixer service, but if something bad happens then another mixer service might be affected.
911  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Save Investors? on: August 11, 2019, 07:09:26 PM
No one really knows because bitcoin has never been through a global recession as of yet.

Indeed, no one will know how the state of bitcoin when experiencing a global recession, but my opinion says bitcoin is able to survive in the crisis. Why? because at that time there will be many fundamentals even FOMO who say that bitcoin is a savior of the crisis so investors are flocking to buy bitcoin and bitcoin is back up during the crisis. But the problem is how long bitcoin will last with the crisis pump, surely there will be mass dumping afterwards.

Can't really say about that. There are numerous possibilities. Bitcoin may or may not become the global coin in the next financial crisis.
Also, what if the big investors buy bitcoin and the price goes up but then whales sell their coins and dump bitcoin's price.
What if the whales are actually waiting for such a scenario to occur. That would seriously hurt investors' sentiments and beliefs over bitcoin.

Certainly such a scenario will exist, the whales have been holding bitcoin for a long time and are waiting for a crisis, then taking advantage of the pumps made by investors. But that won't affect the price of bitcoin if the strength of investors during the crisis is higher than this group of whales. And I don't think that all the popes will try this scenario, surely among them some will go with the flow.
912  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🐺WOLF.BET - Provably fair dice game 🎲 Wager contest🚰 7-day streak bonus 🔥 on: August 11, 2019, 12:05:27 PM
The prizes of $1000 for this wolf race tournament are quite attractive as it is just an 24 hours contest, and I have saw some high rollers players who are starting to wager on the site and compete for the top 10 spot in this wolf race tournament. Out of curiosity, is this wolf race tournament going to be held daily or just a few times in a month?

Hmm, indeed contests like this are quite interesting, but I don't think this kind of contest will be held every day. Maybe in my opinion this tournament will be held every week or every month, I will try the next tournament because I'm late for the tournament now.

Much appreciation!
I have a small update on current ranking situation of WolfRace contest, that will be close in nearly next 16 hours. The guy who currently stood at the first position looks like have big chance go win the Wager contest, with big gaps compare to other participants. However, positions from 2nd to 5th can be flippened at anytime in next few hours.

wow so fast this tournament, it looks like the contestants are so enthusiastic in competing but unfortunately I'm too late to participate this time. Well, the man who currently stood in first position seems to have won a landslide victory and has certainly been the winner. Even the difference is far adrift with contestants 2-5.
913  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cloud mining has Hidden viruses on: August 11, 2019, 11:24:12 AM
~snipp
As a lesson, never install random programs from the internet. Also always check the CPU usage; if it's continuously high and you don't mine locally, maybe somebody else does.
And sometimes a scan with VirusTotal can give you some extra info (although it has its false positives too).

Yeah right, but unfortunately scanning using virustotal will not be useful because the virus will enter when we install it. But it's better to be careful of cloudmining that is just known and doesn't have good feedback. It could be that the software provided by cloudmining contains spyware which can steal our private key.

It's an open secret if you first uploaded the application on https://www.virustotal.com/ you'll find out that this cloud mining are virus-infected, it seems you ignore all the warning and choose to proceed and you give permission to your anti virus to proceed although it is showing positive signs of viruses, this is a lesson for you.

It's useless, most software owned by cloud mining has a crypter that can encrypt the viruses they insert, so when an antivirus tries to scan it looks like everything looks fine because all the viruses have been encrypted. My suggestion is to use a paid antivirus that always updates on new viruses, so they can scan even if the virus is encrypted.
914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: August 11, 2019, 07:20:11 AM
There are professional gamblers, that's what I know. But I am not sure if they are living solely out of their gambling prizes. For sure, even the professionals lose. And as far as I can observe, those who are gambling with high bets have stable sources of huge income. They can spend all their days gambling because they can fully support it. If you are living only on your gambling wins, I doubt if you can sustain your life as a professional gambler. The tide is not always on your side, after all. 

Well indeed the tide will not always be on our side. But clearly there are people like that, where they make gambling as their main livelihood. Of course they have years of experience in gambling games, even I also have friends like that. He has been playing gambling for more than 10 years now, and he certainly told me that he had experienced a worst period. But the most important thing is to try self-introspection and look for what's wrong with our gambling strategy.

And for me, I would not make gambling a profession before I truly became a pro gambler. Because this is not an easy profession, we have a high risk afterwards.
915  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My Analysis of Binary Option Trading! on: August 11, 2019, 06:44:20 AM
Option Trading, yes, in my opinion, including gambling under the guise of trade. If you look at options trading platforms like Olymp Trade, they have a license as a gambling company. The largest brokerage option is still held by binary.com and is followed by several other companies such as olymptrade, binomo, etc.

And I have also tried one of these option trading platforms, the mechanism is not much different from gambling and many people also think this is gambling.
916  Economy / Economics / Re: Differences between an investor and common man! on: August 11, 2019, 05:30:36 AM
Judging from the definition alone it has actually been seen that ordinary people are people who do not understand about investment, risk, opportunities while investors are people who have understood it all. So investors can think more critically about what they will do, investors usually will not take unprofitable decisions in the future. I think that is a simple difference.

Th difference? Very simple, the investor is business minded while the other one is not. The edge of an investor is that he let's his money (capital) run and work on its own to gain profits. On the other hand, ordinary people chase the money instead, they work and work for a living. To sum up, an investor saves time and effort while earning from good to huge amount of money while the other one just have an isolated amount of money depending on hthe salary that his profession can offer, plus, he is more fatigued.

So if you are currently having a stable job, don't feel confident because getting older is inevitable. Invest some of your savings and make it grow Smiley.

Well I also agree with you that ordinary people will continue to work, work and work they don't think about the future and only think about what is needed now. Like the story in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_OHKzrdVVQ
917  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Sell btc on: August 10, 2019, 06:17:17 PM
A simple tip from me is to buy when prices are low and sell when prices are high, so you will get profit from the difference in increase. For when will you have to buy and sell, I think the explanation is quite long but the answer is simply in my first sentence above.

To determine when to buy and sell there are various strategies and analysis that must be done, it will be quite long if explained here but I will give some references that might help you in learning to trade.

918  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth below 0.018btc on: August 10, 2019, 11:58:29 AM
means all buyers willing for btc not alts that's the reason of alts bleeding, I'm thinking to hold my eth for now because i hope it'll back again. Not sure about other alts.
You got it right. The higher dominance for bitcoin means that people are buying it instead of altcoins. You can hold eth for now, many have been holding it and just waiting for its break out.
I'm also waiting for the right time to sell it and I'm not willing to sell it at any price from these moments. But it scares me that it's likely to see ethereum falls down again below $200.

Actually there is no need to be afraid if you are patient enough because I myself am very sure that all the conditions will come back again. Now we just need to be patient, if indeed eth will drop below $200, you only need to buy back gradually, this is the strategy I always do, always buy when the price goes back down.

And look how many people are sorry now because last year they were afraid to buy bitcoin, now the price has increased 3 times. Well I hope you will not regret it like these people and keep what you hold now. Keep calm, ETH is still the first.

Now we only need to wait until bitcoin dominance decreases and becomes alts dominance. Everyone is now focused on bitcoin, it's natural, because this is also a fundamental influence, news, and bitcoin is starting to approach the fork period. I was hoping that the alts would go down because I could buy it cheaper while waiting for the alts season to come. So make a wise decision now.
919  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the main advantages and disadvantages of your crypto exchange? on: August 10, 2019, 09:40:11 AM
I myself usually use KuCoin as my main exchange because it has very low fees and so far this exchange is quite safe for me. But sometimes I trade with Binance also the cost is almost the same. If I suggest it's better to trade on the top exchange.

btw, do you want to trade on changelly? I heard that the exchange was not safe because many people felt they lost money there.
check:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=823207
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2096696.0

https://www.reddit.com/r/Changelly/comments/7wzcp7/warning_changelly_is_a_scam_we_have_proof/
https://twitter.com/ChangellyScam

I use coin swith and they have 0.5% fees. but I don't like it, because I think this is a lot. for example, changelly has 0.25% fees. on the other hand, cs supports more than 400 coins and changelly just 150. Which one is better to use? and what is you exchange?
0.5% doesn't seems like huge amount because banking system has lot of hidden fee which even cost 6% for some transactions.SO you can actually use any exchanges where the fee is under 1%.

If you don't want to pay the fee then find someone who is willing to swap ypur coin then do trades personally,you only need to pay TX fee.

Maybe 0.5% is a small percentage if we trade with small amounts, what if we trade in large quantities? wouldn't that small percentage be big. For me 0.5% is the maximum percentage of the fee, if there is something smaller than that then I will choose a smaller fee.
920  Economy / Gambling / Re: Warnings! A new wave of attacks on renowned casinos. on: August 10, 2019, 08:17:23 AM
Thank you for your advice, I will try to be careful at every pm that come in. Indeed phishing attacks lately increased , their attack targets are beginners who are new to crypto. So be beware of anyone.

Indeed, with most passwords managers you get the chance to store the url as well, so you can actually open the site FROM the password manager (which simply passes the argument to your browser).

Phishing attacks are on the wild, and people should be double careful. Also, never, ever repeat passwords, one more reason to use a password manager with a very good password to open it, preferably from a secured os/pc. Can't stress that enough, windows won't cut it. Go linux or bsd, that and the usual browser (ie. chrome) works for 90% of internet users out there.

A good password manager is not paid, and is NOT an online service, but a free and open source program you download, such as: KeepassXC.

Do NOT use anything that requires you to login to an online site as password manager, much less something that demands a subscription fee.

Well sometimes beginners do not pay attention to the site domain, we need to educate the importance of user security. Moreover, hackers not only attack through PM, but they do spamming in e-mail, where it will be difficult to distinguish originals and fakes. If you sometimes forget to pay attention to the domain, it's better to use an antivirus that has browser security features such as avast, Kaspersky, McAfee, etc. Maybe it will help a little when we are careless.
