If I invest in a popular project does that make my money safe from scams or popular projects can turn to scam as well?
No guarantee in crypto investment. Although it is a popular project, it is possible to turn into a scam. That's why don't choose a project because of its popularity, but choose the project because of its fundamental factors. If a project has strong fundamentals, the chance for scams will be rather small. Moreover, if they have a trusted team, have good products, have a top company as the partnership, and list their tokens on top exchanges.
Popular ones have one advantage that the non-popular ones have, which is the fact that popular one could get itself heard by ore people. If it does something bad then the crash will be harder, but if it does something right then the recovery will be higher too. Look at ETH right now, it moved to POS and that’s a good thing but it didn't move that much, during the bull that could go up a lot more than anything else because of that POS change in the system.

It means that ETH will not be the highest growing one, sure there will be others, but ETH will grow very strongly and that’s at least guaranteed and known result, instead of risking it with anything else.

I'm not sure whether the goal of your project coin will be successful or not. But here, I will comment on whether cryptocurrencies are able to replace currencies. I think this will be very difficult to happen and will not happen. Currencies issued by the government are the result of a system. If you want to replace it, maybe you should also step in and tear down the system. And this is not possible because a country still has its system and governance. Maybe cryptocurrency can be one of the currencies in a country, but not to replace it.
A system that has been running for centuries and has been accepted on all fronts will be difficult to change or can be said to take time to change it, which is why the doubts always raises that crypto can replace fiat and until now it seem difficult to happen, even to make the government at least accept cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin just an alternative to fiat still difficult to implement, moreover until now country that accept Bitcoin as legal tender has not shown a good change in the country
Just because something has been accepted for centuries doesn't mean that it will be like this forever. I mean remember that back in the day people used gold, then people used storing houses for gold and instead got credit papers that showed their deposits, then they exchanged those credit papers instead, then we started to move all the way to banknotes governments issue which was backed by gold, and now we have papers that are based on absolutely nothing. It already changed big time.

I am not saying it will be crypto that will change it again, but I can say that it will change, just because it has been used for a long time doesn't mean it won't change.
1283  Economy / Economics / Re: Why exactly did Elon want to buy Twitter? on: November 03, 2022, 06:00:22 PM
Elon Musk certainly has a business calculation that is profit and loss when buying Twitter, and the thing that we can easily catch is that Twitter users are in the second rank after Facebook so that it becomes a great potential to be developed for business, I'm sure 2 or 3 years Twitter will be full with advertising so as to make a very large money.
Are we really sure about that? He is a weirdo and he could do something just for the fun of it, and he bought twitter and the first thing he did was making blue ticks cost something and that wasn't loved by anyone aside from scammers who found it cheap to have blue tick and convince people they are not scammers.
I am sorry but he doesn't look like someone who has ideas, he looks like who has dreams and I am sorry to say this but he probably will fail for a while, and then will find a way when others help him see that way. He is not a guy who can run a company successfully, he is a guy who can sell an idea to people and get money and then use that money on engineers who can turn that dream into reality.
1284  Economy / Economics / Re: Corruption Should Be Taught From Young Age on: November 03, 2022, 04:48:31 PM
In some countries, corruption is inborn. For example, in Nigeria, a child has become corrupt immediately he/she is born. Almost all aspect of the country is corrupt. We just blame our leaders for our corrupt society but parental role is highly needed to fight corruption in any country.
Your post deserves a merit, because you have said a truth that many people aren't ready to accept, if Nigeria is going to ever change for the better it should start from within, every home now have parents that leads their kid to do bad things all in the name of a bad country, the leaders are doing their own and so are the people too and when it's time to elect another leader we always forget that the new leader will come from the people too.
I don't know much about Nigeria but I can definitely tell you that it's true in my nation as well. Leaders are corrupt because people are corrupt as well and they want to see people like them leading the nation. They are corrupt from the moment they are born because their parents are corrupt, their friends grow to be corrupt, the places they shop from are corrupt, everywhere they go there is corruption so they think it’s part of the world and never see any better.

It means when it comes to voting and electing an official, corruption is not a problem to them because they think it’s how the world is. Turning that to better would take decades of decent politician fixing everything and punishing hard on corruption, but they wouldn't be able to get elected.
1285  Economy / Speculation / Re: what is the bottom of this bear market BTC on: November 03, 2022, 02:36:44 PM
when you are talking about bear market it must be a continues falling but what we are having now is a stable market and the Bear had already gone.
I do agree that bull run could be starting sometime soon. It doesn't mean that it will happen right away and we will be 68k+ in a month, that’s not how the bull run works. I believe that we could be 30k by the end of this year, and around 40k to 50k by spring, and then around 100k by summer. If that is the path we are going to take then I believe we could actually do that.

This is going to be tough because of two reasons, first of all, we do not know when it will happen and secondly when it will stop. If you invest and wait for it to peak, then there is a chance you could hold until it peaks and then starts going down, so you should be careful about that as well.
1286  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you think of gold price in long term? on: November 02, 2022, 09:00:03 PM
I have seen discussions where people were saying that Gold prices were being manipulated by Cartels and also Gold companies to keep it stable. The Oil companies are doing this with oil prices, so I guess Gold companies can do this with Gold too.... they just control the supply and the cartels do the rest.  Roll Eyes

A lot of the Gold are held in reserve and only sold when the price is going up, so you do not have a pure "Supply & demand" market, where people are trading and the real "Supply & Demand" is determining the price.  Roll Eyes
I am not sure if gold is the same as oil, I understand that gold could be manipulated to a point, but there are way too many gold in retail investors hands, which means they could somehow manage to get profit from the manipulation and big investors wouldn't want to lose money to retail investors.

On the other hand, you do not really have oil, you could invest into the price of of oil to a point but you wouldn't "have" it, you are not going to just buy a gallon of oil and put it on your safe, like you could do with gold. That is why there is a big difference on how they could be manipulated. Both could be manipulated, but gold can't be as much as oil can.

Max Verstappen decided to boycott Sky F1 after their reporter Ted Kravitz said that Lewis Hamilton was robbed on last race of previous season in Abu Dhabi. Such statements is one of reason why I can't watch races on Sky F1. They have great coverage of race, but when it comes to Hamilton, they're so biased and don't even try to be neutral. When you're neutral spectator or support other driver than Lewis, it really annoys.

Tsunoda and Ricciardo collision isn't a pretty sight too. Not happy with only a 10-second penalty right there and I believe it should have been more.
Well, rules are rules, 10 seconds is already quite strict penalty, though, it could be something like stop and go penalty. Because now he eliminated his opponent from race and that penalty cost hime zero positions.
There is a double standard here if we are going to side with one of them. Ted Kravitz has all the right in the world to say that Lewis was robbed a championship and last year should have been Lewis and not Max, he has that RIGHT to say that.

But, it also means that Max has every right to be upset about it and not give any interviews or speeches or even a response to any Sky related channel neither. These are not mutually combined things, both Ted can say whatever he wants and Max could decline to speak to them, it could happen at the same time.

Looking at responses to this, one side says Ted shouldn't have said that, and the other side says Max should get over it and talk to Sky, we can have both at the same time without a problem. What kind of sport would it be if we forced Ted to apologize? That would be horrible, or what kind of sport it would be if we forced Max to speak to Sky?
1288  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 100X Altcoin for the next Bull run on: November 02, 2022, 06:39:02 PM
Ohh, where is the hidden gem? Metaverses, P2E, meme coins...
I never thought about it OP, not a single altcoin that we are sure to make such a rally, it could be your luck if you are investing in that particular project. But I think it is not necessary to search for that, what we need for now is to keep these potential and old coins as we know that these coins will survive and make a price increase when the bull season comes. I'm not looking for 100x as I was contented enough with 10x.
You are right, it’s not about the idea, it’s not about the system it is, it could be an nft collection that could go 100x, it could be metaverse, defi, p2e and anything else that’s not the point. What matters is the project itself, if it’s a good project then it will definitely go up, if it’s a bad project then it will not matter because it’s going to be a terrible one in the end.

What we should be looking for right now is the fact that if a project is good, it will be good no matter how it is and what it’s made out of or what the promise is. However, it is not going to be easy to find it, x100 is not that common, maybe like 5 coins/tokens out of all can do that, and finding that within thousands of projects is very hard.
1289  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin - History repeating itself on: November 02, 2022, 05:06:51 PM
Yep, just a memecoin that happens to be 10x faster and 100x cheaper to send than bitcoin.
If we are looking at how fast or cheap it is, than SOL should have been at the top better than bitcoin, if you have other point of views then it would be smarter, but just the pace is not good enough.

Dogecoin has always been useless and not really liked a lot up until Elon tweeted about it, so there is no denying that neither the pace, nor the cost of it is the reason why people invest into it. That means we should be focusing on something that is more like bitcoin or ethereum and that way you could make money from it, since they are really good all by itself. That is why I believe it will be about and I will definitely make a profit based on that.

Are there any new bots that work with Stake? When I run autobot on the site it always stops after anywhere from a few minutes to a couple hours, but DiceBot used to run until I stopped it (if it disconnected, it would just reconnect and continue). Ever since the API was shut down that hasn't worked, so hoping there's a new bot out there somewhere that can do the same thing...
I have to say with this message I would like to reply to all people who would like to consider using a bot. Don't. If you want to use a bot for gambling then you do not understand the idea of gambling at all. Normally there is a house edge which means you are going to end up losing money and I am not entirely sure if we would really have something that would be faster this way if we used a bot.

I mean you would just lose your money and you wouldn't be the one who lost it, makes no sense to me at all. I know that people would prefer if they could make that money, using a bot to profit but the reality is that it is not mathematically possible so why would you do that.
1291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 01, 2022, 06:31:11 AM
Messi should not make the same mistake Ronaldo did, going back to your ex is never a good idea and Ronaldo is feeling the impact of such decision he took on his career. Barcelona are just like Manchester united as both clubs are surviving on path gory and a shadow of what they uses to be. Barcelona should rebuild without Messi and stop leaving on path glory. Xavier should be sacked and a well experience manager hired. Xavier spending the kind of money he did in the last transfer window and getting knockout of the champions league isn't been talked about much probably because Xavier is a Barcelona legend and nobody wants to hurt his feelings.

Imagine if that was some other managers that was in his shoe, all the Spanish media would had made this discussion their priority. I bet Luwadusaksi would be regretting moving to Barcelona by now. He had a chance to come to Chelsea just like other players that Barcelona spend thousands of dollars (that they don't have) on. Some bad investment choices from Xavier there and still don't get it why he's still managing Barcelona.
I am not so sure that’s the same thing. Ronaldo went to a United team that didn't need him, and he acted as if he was the leader as soon as he came back and demanded respect from a team that was second a year before him, and made the team worse. Messi is not that type of player, he is not after stats, he is after winning and he could make the people around him better, he could pass them greatly and make them score.

This is why Messi would still be a great player when he is 40 years old and could play anywhere, he wants, including Barcelona. Sure, he wouldn't be that fast, but he is still quick on his feet at this age, and he could still pass amazingly, he could revert back to some Xavi style midfield passer and they can make it work.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 31, 2022, 07:28:39 PM
It's always expected of Davis to get injured, that's the thing he does, ever since he became a player in NBA he has always been injured, there is a way of his body that just doesn't compute with each other and that causes him to be injured all the time.

It's just not possible for Lakers to fight for a win with this roster, they knew this, they were aware that their team sucked, they realized last year that this team can't really win much, and even with that info they still ended up playing with the same roster for some reason I do not know. I know that it's not that hard, but I believe that trades needs to be done in order for Lakers to get better. They need to get rid of Westbrook for starters, that's the biggest problem.
That said, they should have another reliable big man that will replace AD whenever he's injured or to ease his load a bit per game because they surely know that AD is really prone to such injuries. He is still young but the built of his body is not very suitable in intense games especially if it's a consecutive games like playoffs, Conference Finals and Finals. They have a chance, but they couldn't reach far if one of their reliable players will be injured because LeBron now cannot carry the team anymore.
I would guess that it’s not going to be that easy to get a reliable big man. Dwight Howard is still free agent as far as I know and I do not understand why he is not picked up, for that case Melo is still free agent as well. Instead of forcing them to early retirement, they could just hire them and put them in the bench and even if they do not play any meaningful minutes, they could be getting like 5 minutes per game to keep fresh and always be there, which would give them a good training as well.

If any player gets injured badly, they would have a backup plan with these two, and they would come out and play 15-20 minutes instead of 5 minutes in case of an injury.

FUN token price is quite stable recently, just like BTC. I do not know what it means- it is good that’s stable, but it also means that there are no events which may change it’s price
not only the price of FUN but several other major cryptocurrencies are also following the price of bitcoin which tends to be stable for some time so that the price almost doesn't move far from there, but in recent days the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies including FUN there has been a slight movement which might be a signal that the bear market is coming to an end
It is still to early for the bear market to end,usually we have had 2-4 years cycles before the bear market really ended and then we witnessed a new all time high.Based on statistics the new all time should happen somewhere in Q4 of 2025 so there is plenty of time until then,of course if history will repeat itself.

I also believe a lot in coins with low value like FUN token and also RTM-Raptoreum which I am mining very easily with just 2 Cpu-s you can make like near 1000 coins a month of them,so I am stocking up really big and hopefully this time I will get it right to win huge in the next bull run.
I do not believe that bear market takes into consideration what has happened before, nor the bull market waits for what is usually acceptable. Plus, if we are going to take a look at the past, in 2017 December we reached 20k, in 2018 we were at 3.5k which was very low I agree, but in 2019 we reached 14k and dropped to 7k, which means it peaked x4 higher and then still ended up 2x higher, and in 2020 we reached 20k+ all over again in December.

This shows that if 2022 was the bad year, in 2023 it should be 40k, and in 2024 it should go above 70k+ if it were to follow the past moves. However it can also easily break that, just like how we did 64k in April 2021 and then under 30k during summer and then once again 68k in October.
1294  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Metaverse still a thing on: October 30, 2022, 05:52:20 PM
What you say is true because so far, having the latest technology can provide a new experience that has never existed. This triggers the designers to compete to make something different from before so that it will also make people curious to try it. Today's games have reached a different level from the previous generation, especially using the latest technology. It also provides a different gaming experience.

What needs to be done now is to build infrastructure that can support metaverse technology to run well. And yes, it's not easy because it takes a lot of money and resources to have something new for us.
What we have to remind ourselves in our deepest thoughts is the undying fact that humanity has an urge to develop, develop in every sense. This could be personal development, it could be nation wide, it could be in media or books or tools or even in this case games as well. We cannot just accept the world as what it is, and only dream of what it could be, in fact it is so much so that there are so many people living today but living the future in their minds at all times and try to turn that into reality.

Metaverse is one of these development future plans, it's not a reality now, what we call metaverse right now is a child's play in the sand, the real one will come in the future when all those people who live in the future in their minds manage to turn that future into present, and we will enjoy it very much.
1295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 29, 2022, 04:36:22 PM
Bayern didn't need Sane to confidently beat Barcelona, they have a lot of players who can do it very well. And by the way, the information has already been confirmed Sane, Neuer and also Muller will not play in this match due to injuries. But even without these players, Bayern's advantage in this match will be very significant, even though Mainz won in recent matches, their opponents were not the strongest.
Bayern Munich has always been the favorite of whoever they will play against in this Bundesliga. Even if in a match that brings together Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmun, Bayern Munich is always in the main place in terms of favorites to win. In my opinion, the depth of Nagelsmann's squad is quite balanced between the main players and the substitutes. Especially if the opponent is not better than them. 3 points of visible things will definitely be obtained.
It is clear that they keep being sustainable good level of domination in the league is based on the squad they built. It's good because they do not spend too much, look at how much money they spend each year, and how much money they make from sales, and if you find the loss you will see that it's not huge and they get players for money that they are not worth, if a player worths 50 million they pay 25-30, if a player worths 30 then they pay 10-15, this way they make a profit as well.

All in all they will keep being the dominant power of bundesliga as long as they keep on being this good with their finances. Only if they start to buy players that turn out to be bad and overpay them, like how Barcelona did, could they become worse.

And we need to wait that long in order to assess the potential of this new technology, therefore to say that it was too early to think if this will succeed (or not). I hope the team will reach the final stage of their development and make see the benefits from this. I'm not talking about profit alone but I was referring to how this meta could help the community. Because if that will be the result, too much confidence that this will gain more investors and users.
Yes, that's true because this new technology may still have hidden potential so we think this is the final form of the Metaverse. And if the team can work hard to turn it into a worthy project to be an investment, I think it will be able to attract investors so that they can have another chance to make a profit. For now, we can only see how far the team has worked and their next plans because each project must have plans to achieve in the future.
Having a hard working team is not really the resolution we will get from metaverse. What we need to realize is that "gaming" plays a huge part in this, meaning game companies of the world are the ones that improve the graphics most of the time, sure there are some designers out of that field who may but it's rare. Which means, all the games you see are the ones that could make the metaverse better or worse, and they are our limit.

Right now, the best looking graphics even on next gen consoles are not enough to say that we are ready for 100% metaverse. On top of that we would need to build a whole world with it, not just a story that people follow. So, it's not going to be that easy at all.

For going against religious and politics out ruling. It's a political platform now. And one more thing i have forgotten. It's in the rule. Nationalist shit! And it's not geoblocks.

Incognito Ricky 1337.

Louiz! You can suck a big fat dick! For starting it.
Looking at your post it seems that you have a problem and maybe that's the reason why you got banned so I think you need to respect anyone's belief and don't bring or talk about political or religious stuff discussion on gambling platform since this doesn't give any sense at all there. 

Also if you hate them for doing that there are many casino available to play on.
That is the problem, right or wrong if you attack someones point of view in a casino then you are going to get muted. This isn't a ban by the way, ban is when you are gone, 3 days means you are muted, and that's a warning to you.

By the looks of it the guy doesn't look like he learned from his mistakes, he could come back and keep talking about it again and that's going to be a trouble for him. I have to say that if anyone doesn't learn from their mistakes and keep talking about religion or politics in the chat, they are going to get the same punishment and it is not going to be that simple to get out of it by just writing to forum and complaining about the situation.

I prefer to say "Life is a challenge".
Challenges are an inseparable part of life, people who are starting a career or who have reached a level of success are never free from challenges.
Every challenge that can be overcome will give you confidence that you will be able to win an even bigger challenge, enjoy all of it, challenges or puzzles as the term you use here can shape your character even better.
That’s right, you could be rich, you could be poor, you could be handsome, you could be ugly, you could be smart, you could be an idiot. It doesn't matter who you are, people always face obstacles in life, on their way to their goals.

Sometimes you have bigger problems because you are handling bigger stuff, a smart rich person will face an obstacle that is bigger, like merging of 2 companies that worth 100 million dollars but handling the deal properly, whereas some poor idiot may face something much simpler, but it’s always just one step at a time, solution is always fixing things one step at a time so that you would be doing a lot better in the long run.

In my opinion Cardano is one of the altcoins that has good fundamentals so far and in the future so it is very feasible for us to invest in it. and I'm sure cardano will find a new Ath in the future. maybe now is the right time to buy cardano at the price of $ 0.43 because I really believe that cardano will increase in the future. may be up to $5.
Cardano previously rose very quickly and went above 2 dollars.But now it's very dip not only cardano all coins are dip now so it can't be guaranteed that it will be good to invest in cardano now, because now every coin including bitcoin is very dip.  But as a top coin on cmc ,investing in it will not have much chance of loss
The fact that ADA team works very hard on their project was the reason people trusted their money into it, and I still think that there will be a lot of people who will put their money into ADA when the bull comes as well.

This doesn't mean that they are the best project created ever or something, it just shows that the team is working hard and in a world of scammy and problematic crypto, finding a project where the owners are working overtime to make it better and stronger is a great thing. This is why we have a good amount of deal in the crypto world where ADA investors are justified, it may get better or not, but at least it's worked on more than any other project.

I guess even pros and experts in cryptocurrency do not know everything about it so there’s always a consistent training so that learning will always grow and improve. Just like most of the teachers, they are like  newbies to cryptocurrency but with continuous trainings and seminars conducted by school heads, these teachers will end up highly knowledgeable about cryptocurrency. And with crypto experiences too comes an effective way of learning which they can also successfully impart their first hand information to their students.
Of course, you can't really know everything there is to know about crypto just because you are a trader who has been around for a while. Everyone makes losses at times, the biggest example of this is to look at wall street. Wall street is filled with companies who have been trading stocks for decades and even they make mistakes, hedge funds who control billions of dollars end up making a mistake as well.

So, there is no situation where you would be earning without ever losing because they lose too. If hedge funds with billions of dollars trusted to them end up losing while trading, then a professional crypto trader would lose while trading and wouldn't be uncommon.
