I think we should give everyone a break here. Let them release 2.0 when it's perfectly certain from their side it is safe. I know the speed and delivery is always being criticized. Just look at Big Daddy Bitcoin and see all the complaints there. I've seen even worse with ICOs that raise millions and yet fail to meet roadmaps. Keep calm and keep witnessing. I like that.
9822  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: WT* is going on with alts ?? on: July 21, 2018, 07:57:25 AM
I think the reason is the ETF event in August. Most people will sell altcoin during this time to invest in Bitcoin. I think we should also invest in Bitcoin because Bitcoin is likely to increase to $ 10,000 by the end of this month.


Actually, this isn't such far off idea. Everyone's talking about people pouring money into Bitcoin ETF, but we forgot also that people might just be saying now, forget my alts, I'm gonna sell what I don't want anymore and keep it as Bitcoin. Not exactly a great idea I would say since alts are so low right now and they should just be given time to take back their losses.

While the idea is nice I haven't seen any big professional gambler out here, all I see newbies coming and posting tips and then they disappear, then there're some tipsters thread honestly never even opened them, I prefer to rely on my gut then what they post, why not keep the group here, you could open a self moderated thread and many could take advantage of it, not all will come to telegram just a suggestion.

Not all of them are newbies. I sometimes take the tips of Joca97 and BitcoinSupremo, but I think these are not professionals. Merely part timers or extreme hobbyists. I think I remember a few newbies try to open as well, but once they post losing streaks or they don't get enough people paying, then they also lose interest.

Someone should ask the forums of those sports professionals, like who has an account here. Tell them there's a big Bitcoin community who gambles here. Who knows what we might get?

Yeah, not an auspicious start, almost two weeks since the introduction post, and we're doing more bumping than the OP. Shame that Bitcoin casinos start out like this but don't seem to have the steam to carry on. As asked above, before any of us even dare to deposit or play, we want to know the most important thing... do you force KYC on any level? From what I can see, you're not regulated (license doesn't count) so you actually don't have any grounds to ask for KYC. Can you confirm this?
9825  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Your Money Safer In Crypto than at the Bank? on: July 20, 2018, 09:06:33 AM
I think we've to be a bit practical here. If you're talking about savings you don't want to touch, then of course you're thinking of money you want protected, and if possible insured. Most government banks will do this, but then again, what happens when your government goes broke and can't keep its insurance promises? What happens when your fiat becomes useless and even countries like Argentina can't attract savings with high interest rates?

Practical: level out your risk. If you live in a strong economy, then save some. If you don't, save abroad or in another currency. And make Bitcoin one of your savings. Never everything in one, it's just silly.
9826  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Waves vs. Bitcoin on: July 20, 2018, 07:37:34 AM
I am a holder of both Bitcoin and Waves. In fact, I hold about 5 times as much BTC than Waves. Would love to hold much more of Waves, but until now I really love the idea of it and how it looks and feels, but as of yet, there is not a single Waves use that I've found for myself, so therefore, my expectations are still a little low.

Trading wise of Waves tokens, we've got Tidex and Waves DEX, but new centralized exchanges are coming up. That still won't give me what I'm looking for in Waves, but at least it'll get a bit more volume to test out its blockchain stress.
9827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [NLG] The great Gulden thread on: July 20, 2018, 06:28:07 AM
Once Gulden a bus hits the "mainstream Gulden fuhrer" and the word is spread, there's no holding back Smiley

Buy before that happens and profit at least 50x, easily. Don't take my word for granted, just study about the coin, is pretty easy to come with this conclusion once it's freed from the dictatorship  Wink

It's a little sad to see so much dispute and conflict here, for a small user who doesn't make or spend much. But I guess the positive side of things is that no matter the outcome, good or bad, we can all see x50, mainstream, dictatorship or whatever!

Let's see what really happens after this pow2 update. My take is that we'll be disappointed. Nothing will move. But that's okay too.
9828  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: This correction on Altcoins is just EPIC! on: July 20, 2018, 05:40:58 AM
Every channel I go to says, Bitcoin is going to pump! So alts will pump harder, but yeah look at the top 10 now. Only Dash is the one green on my chart at 1.5% increase, same almost as Bitcoin. Everything else is 3 to 10% lower. They all climbed when Bitcoin first boomed, but now none of them can hold on to their gains. I'm seeing Monero and Litecoin that will not slip up so much, but ETH is a shocker to me. I thought it would at least cling on to 490.
9829  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: My bounty story (5.99eth) on: July 19, 2018, 05:28:56 PM
My curiosity is now this. How has OP fared in further bounty campaigns? ICOs were all successful when they started out. Bounties were big and April was still a declining price, not quite yet the murderous market that we still see today (yes slight recovery happening but then).

I see he is still on a signature campaign for another token and he has said not to hold and take losses at stops. So he must be holding ETH and not the tokens now. Hope to see him check in here for July and update.
9830  Economy / Gambling / Re: Introducing TheButton.co - be the last presser and win! on: July 19, 2018, 09:05:17 AM
Interesting project indeed. Just as long as there is a link/proof that the charity has agreed to take the 5%, that the funds are of course given to them, and that the charity has a license to take the donation.

I commented recently on this type of game though, and how it is open to only large whales coming to win. I lost an amount I still feel painful about not too long ago playing exactly this type of game. They let you win a bit, then you just lose everything to chase the button.

Having the last person as a jackpot winner will effectively stall the game as people will be waiting for that sweet spot at the end of the given time. You can certainly make it more engaging by making few changes.

Instead of having one jackpot winner, make it 4 at random numbers like 15, 47, 80 and the last one. The numbers I have given for illustration, you can make it any random numbers and don't announce those numbers upfront. It will keep the game ongoing as participants will be trying to hit those hidden sweet spots.

Just a suggestion, think about it!

Great suggestion. Make more than 1 prize, and randomly, so people have incentive to click it without the timer ending. Cool idea.
9831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to learn day trading? on: July 19, 2018, 07:44:36 AM
You say you're tired of the holding game, so it means you weren't here a year ago to take advantage of the last bull run. It also means you have no patience if you can't even hold out for a year.

I would strongly advice you against trying to "day trade". Guys like you will just get in trouble, buying all the time and making 1-5% profits every day before one day crashing at 50% to lose everything.

If you can't be patient enough to learn on your own and have to ask here. You're not for trading.
9832  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: EOS speculation, is it worth investing? on: July 19, 2018, 06:20:41 AM
I wasn't convinced at all when EOS came out and I wasn't convinced any time this year when the price just climbed after they ended the ICO. I hope nobody forgets what a scam the ICO was.

And what a stupid shame that they needed bug bounties to find so many flaws, SO many. What a shame their mainnet had a few centralized block producers. So many red flags that keep showing up, and it wasn't like I was following it. IT just kept happening and I kept hearing about it.

Not amused and not impressed.
9833  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE - 🎲🎲🎲 Treasure Chest Is Back! 🎰🎰🎰 on: July 18, 2018, 10:12:52 AM
The upcoming BitDice update will have is deploying the new backend which will significantly improve site performance. Besides that there will be some bugfixes and other minor updates. The site layout and games will remain the same for the time being but it will allow us to start adding new games and update the site visually for example.

Great news, thanks for sharing with us BoXX. Same look, better feel, then yes?

I think dice will always be the main attraction for BD (well, the name says it all) so as long as that one keeps improving or maintaining the attractiveness (speed betting always the factor for dice addicts) then it keeps players staying to check out the new games later as and when they arrive.

Also, price of token looks like it's making a steady recovery, guys!
9834  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin and market up,but for me looks bearish. you looking bullish or bearish? on: July 18, 2018, 07:48:09 AM
No bulls or bears for me. I see this year and even the next year as potential "nothing". Yes, we've seen lows and highs on Bitcoin, but still all within 5k-10k range, which to me should be trimmed down in pattern due to crypto's extreme volatility. By this, I mean, this ranging should be seen as sideways, over the big picture readings.

We're back where we started a few months ago, and sort of back where we were a year ago, so yeah. Sounds pretty sideways to me.
9835  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time for [ Job and Crypto ] on: July 18, 2018, 06:11:44 AM
It does sound like you've got your head on straight. When I was a student, I spent 6 hours in school but maybe only 2 hours of it listening to what was going on. Haha. College was even worse, studied everything on the night before exam and just barely passed all exams.

Careful not to waste those 4 hours just reading stupid price and trading stuff. Interesting I agree but to me ultimately worthless in real life and trading. I spend maybe in total an hour a day, maybe two tops including on this forum. Just read the interesting developments of the projects I follow and big news.
9836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tipster picks service discussion ( profit +1649 EURs ) on: July 17, 2018, 09:00:36 AM
Quite a good thread to follow, but I guess I am a bit lost with racing, so if I take it right, about half of your profits are from horse racing. I could not really attempt to follow that properly unless I just put all my trust in the tip. I have to have some knowledge of the sport before I can place any bets.

I follow a few in this forum sometimes. Joca I recognize but I did not follow all. Everybody has tempting results but unless you can have strict strategy and units like Sy, it is impossible to say if it is profitable long run.

Let us say I have 0.01 bankroll to try, is this possible to recover tips fees?
9837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: new 🔴🔵 THE TABLE OF NEW SIGNATURES 🔵🔴 on: July 17, 2018, 06:33:21 AM
Good job, I think people should be referred to this list. Every day I see every newbie coming in to ask bounty questions and this is one starting point they could consider.

Just my observation. These are all alt bounties, and I didn't recognize any of the managers there. You should add a rating or performance review for old or closed bounties. Then we can also see which managers were involved if bounties did not pay out but of course you have to be careful here because sometimes projects scam, not the manager's fault.

Oh 1 thing to add. Escrowed tokens or not?
9838  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investment in Alts vs BTC? on: July 17, 2018, 05:32:26 AM
in long term: bitcoin
in short term: shitcoins.

it is obvious that bitcoin has a very strong long term potential and since its market is a lot bigger than altcoins then it is extremely hard to manipulate (pump and dump) it so the profit is purely based on real adoption and that profit is strong in the long run since it will surely go up and not come down in the long run. for instance last year it was $1000 and now it is $6000 so that is 6x profit in the long run.

for altcoins there is no real adoption but only speculation. and because their markets are small and they are easy to manipulate (pump and dump) you get a lot of good opportunities to make a lot of profit in short term which is their pump period.

Second you on this. What the altcoin projects will not really tell you is that they are truly struggling for adoption. Even Ethereum's adoption is only due to ERC20 tokens, 100% a speculation market. The only real apps working on them now are gaming apps like cryptokitty.

Even Ripple was recently begging people to please use their tokens. They gave away so much XRP (not that it matters since it cost them nothing) but even they know no one is using it.
9839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcointalk's FIFA World Cup Pool Discussion Thread on: July 16, 2018, 01:32:57 PM
Top five winners:

Trofo_ 5302 + 240 5542
LFC_Bitcoin 4744 + 160 4904
slaman29 4667 + 154 4821
Joca977 4659 + 103 4762
HugoSt1 4529 + 167 4696

Wow, I didn't want to believe it at all, so only came back to check here now and am so happy to get in a winner's spot! I believe we all owe a huge thank you to hilariousetc for setting up this pool. I can't even remember what the prizes are but it's nice to get something back to make up for all the losing bets I placed on world cup.

My Bitcoin deposit is this one: 31mRvREw8YPeVR5RoMswfDVPbgcA6jZWtB

It's for a casino wallet, hope that's okay.

Now at least I know I have something to join the premier league pool. Thank you everyone for the fun:)
9840  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto is a game of whales on: July 16, 2018, 09:06:39 AM
I honestly don't think it's as simple as that. Perhaps if you're an altcoin trader (or should I say speculator) then all this makes sense to you. Price goes against you, you keep losing value, you keep depositing in more and your portfolio just keeps getting "redder".

But no one was complaining when these same whales played together to make Bitcoin price go up, right?

I think we give them too much credit. See all the volumes on trade. Look at all the conversations going on here. See all the people earning Bitcoin and spending them for pizza or whatever.

These aren't whales. Yet they're driving everything. I think 10,000 of us using Bitcoin every day is more impactful than 10 Whales moving things in one hour.
