Right, so Amazon is wanting to jump on this bandwagon and was rejected, so that means we should all be falling over each other to invest in it right? So, rather than take on a corporate partner with guaranteed funding, it would rather take on thousands of unknown people? Doesn't make sense to me at all, unless they're afraid they couldn't stand up to all the audits that partnering with Amazon would require.

I will be honest and say I don't know much about the Croatian team, except maybe Luka Modric because he used to play fantastic games for Tottenham Hotspurs but judging from what I've seen, they actually didn't play so badly. Russia was a crazy phenomenon, a lot of old players and very athletic, but we have to be fair and say that this World Cup, a lot of teams really performed, for me it is down to the teams that played a lot together and stayed together for a long time, like Russia.

I don't think you can say they'll be too tired for the semis. They ran a lot but not that much more than other teams. They have 3 days to recover almost, which is okay. Remember this was only a 5 games before this, for a 3 weeks period, so that's not too bad.

I will like to see Belgium in the final, if they win, they really deserve it. They played every game with big hearts and scored every game. This is football we want to see.

Look, you shouldn't throw around accusations like that. I mean, I actually agree most ICOs out there are pretty ridiculous, but I've definitely seen for myself especially from some of the bounties managed on this forum, bounty pools exceeding that 700k total. In fact, I've seen bounties distributed above $1 million plenty of times (usually because the ICO distributed around 2% to bounties and they raise hard cap of above $50m).

It's not very helpful to just label everything a scam, without real evidence. It's just about as bad as shilling.

But that's exactly what I mean whenever I talk about why all these alts are not succeeding when they've done all they can to make things "cheap" and "fast". Litecoin might have achieved that because that was its sole purpose and it was early days when they weren't that many alternatives to Bitcoin as a payment method.

But every alt and its mother wants to make things cheap and fast, but they need to understand, they have to find a different way to attract use. Maybe all its needs is to make it attractive for merchants to accept them. Maybe make it so users and spenders benefit more than holders.

Banks aren't using XRP now, they're using its blockchain tech. They like blockchain, they don't like crypto. Change that perception to crypto is what I'm saying.

I thought I was the only one who found it funny, that I keep seeing steak, or even sticks. Now I know people say we shouldn't make fun of languages, but these bounty hunters have been hunting bounties for months, and still cannot even spell the most used word in bounties. English is also not my first language, so I know even I had to improve my English but I tried a lot, so there's no excuse.

Reading whitepaper is not even what I would ask them to try. They can't even spell their own names and project names correctly, and they just blabber about their projects with no concept. Then these same guys flood the forums later complaining about wrong deposits and how they got scammed. Ironic that majority of bounty hunters who call scam are actually scamming tokens from projects themselves.

Not exactly the ultimate experience. I've played this exact sort of game before. Fun for a while, but you ultimately lose out to whales/bots once they trick you by getting you to win a few rounds. Lesson learnt from me, you want to play this game, be prepared to lose early, or to lose a lot by playing long. I actually lose 0.1 BTC once, just playing for a few hundred satoshi initial bet. Terrible experience, but now I just avoid.

Very happy you made this post, especially very happy that you came to a correct conclusion: you and all of us cannot afford to keep doing all these investments and bounties just to grab a quick buck. We must realize that every action we do affects the market. I bet you all those projects that closed thought they could just let 1000 bounty hunters spread the word and they would get private sales done.

But this proves all the bounty hunter armies can't bring real value and money. The sooner we realize this the better.

Ah, okay! Thank you for the info. I thought this was on MoneyPot itself, but never knew about the giftcards options on Provably.io. Checking them out right now and I can see it's on the shopping cart but you have got to make this more prominent okay? ) Amazon is perfect for me, wish I knew this before but will look it up by December which is my next big round of shopping. No possible way to split up the gift cards or smaller/bigger denominations?

You probably all know the answer to the question. Let's have a look at a few characteristics of bounty hunters that I've come to know just from reading this forum.

They generally say nothing specific about the project, just "how great it is" and what a "wonderful team and solid dev" or generic comments like that. They even spell things wrong, they invest 0 amounts into the project. The bounty ends and they are in a new project the very same day. They are able to offer nothing if you ask them questions, just tell you to "refer to the whitepaper".

On the other hand, have you seen whitepapers recently? They look less and less philosophical, more and more generic, less and less technical, more and more marketing. Whitepapers used to be written by tech people, now they are done by marketing people.

Well, I held my ETH when it crossed 1k, I held it when it reached 1.4k. I don't see my holdings now as losing 70% of their value today, I just see it as more opportunity to grow my holdings, and will probably still hold when it reaches 2.5k if it ever does.

ETH has never been a preferred holding, I will always consider it to be speculative, but the longer I hold it the more I see good reason for it to really move higher in price and utility over the next few years.

Typical logic of many traders. Buy a lot so you can cash out. What do you think is happening now? Why do you think the market is down and taking many months to stabilize? Yes, this was a long due correction. Yes, there is less buying interest. But also yes, this is because of all the people cashing out the way you suggest. Every time BTC wants to climb back above a certain ceiling, people cash out.

All your cashouts going to alts too, all you BTC sold to get worthless alts.

We have got to learn how to deal with this, that's all.

Stable is not what it wants or needs now. Just ask Ripple themselves, practically begging their holders to please start using Ripple instead of just holding it. But what can you do? All alts are facing this problem. Even so called utility coins are just being held and traded. Remember, all those banks using Ripple tech don't ever need to use XRP. So they're not concerned for XRP price. XRP has to be also integrated as a forced utility for all those new partners otherwise Ripple will never see their coin grow organically.

Sorry to budge in here but do I see a mention of gift cards? Where do I see this option because I'd love for a way to buy Bitcoin gift cards (I assume this is like Visa type pre-loaded ones you can use anywhere). I have a problem also with country like the user above. Anything that can be used on Amazon and ebay are popular, so you would get more buyers I'm sure.

Well, look at what happened to Bitcoin in 2013/14/15/16. After reaching such an incredible bull run to past $1300 everything seemed to crash down because of regulations and bans and everyone got afraid. The bull never returned in a year. Even in 2 years it was still struggling. Then 2017 came and suddenly everything got crazy again.

This means we can wait for years again. But Bitcoin has also become less volatile and more stable, relatively. So maybe there will not be such incredible surges again, or incredible crashes. I think yes, we should water down expectations.

No, there is not sportsbook that allows that, or in fact any type of casino. You always only withdraw what you have deposited. Unless it has an exchange function, in which case, this is simply an exchange within a casino. On 999dice there are several bots that exchange currency, between Bitcoin and 5 alts. But what I'm curious to know is, why would you want to do that?

Not bad for CSNO, hasn't exactly hit the dips I was expecting it to during this post-quarter days after the snapshot. In fact yesterday looks like even reached 1,100 sats at $6k plus volume, which isn't even that much different from the same 900-1000 range in the pre-snapshot days. Getting resilient, are we, maybe?

I'm seeing a lot of airdrops now. And I mean a lot. That aren't actually airdrops anymore. I mean, where I came from, airdrops meant free, like you said. Costs nothing. Some effort maybe required in registration although I recall the true airdrops actually didn't even need you to do anything except link an account, which was like seconds. Even Viuly airdrop literally required nothing. You received it whether or not you wanted it. Need to kill all these false airdrop promises.

Please don't ask the "masters" here. They don't know any better than you or me. Experts are just better able to give more proof for their opinions. Have better resources. Better tools. But they can't predict the market. Experts have tried for years. They'll keep trying. Form your own opinions and judgements and make your own calls. After all if you find out the reason, will that change your mind about crypto?

Nice gambling competition going there. Might I suggest that also separate prize pools be happening for most wagered, or most % of profit? Not that I've anything against whales but someone with a big bankroll can of course get very high up those leaderboards, while someone with smaller bankrolls might never have a chance, unless you put in some kind of incentive like wagering, or even % (and the prize can adjust to the amount wagered). You want to encourage long term players too, right?

Not even going to read that. I have never heard of Multicoin capital but from the suggested name meaning, it means they probably invested in a lot of different alts, so think they have an expert opinion. I bet they're hurting from the market bear now and have all their eggs almost in ETH to say such a thing. What makes me upset about it is to say Litecoin has no reason to exist. Yes, it's an altcoin that does everything Bitcoin does, but in a cheaper, faster, different way. So what if that was its sole purpose? At least it has use and a community. XRP just complained that nobody was using it.
