A lot of blockchain games are created purely for making speculative tokens for pump and dump schemes, so essentially they are just using Steam to advertise their investment scam.
This sounds like a valid reason also justify the steam's action of banning blockchain based games. How a platform will accept to keep on hosting "planned scams", if you ask me, any reputed services will take similar action in favour of their customers.

Steam's ban on blockchain games should not be left out like just another incident in crypto space. It is kind of alarming to this community like scams on crypto space is exceeding the tolerable levels. This way major service provider also may ban all kind of crypto activities when they find 90% of new projects are not keeping up their promises.

Lakers got Lebron back and on the first day they already got a win. I have to say that there is a good chance we could see Lakers recover from the bad start after this and start doing well. I get that we should not be shocked that they beat Rockets which is not a great team, but I believe that they are definitely doing nice, even with Lebron having only 15 points, he was there to regroup everyone together and increase the chemistry which worked. The big shock of the league is Dame and Luka so far, they are star level players, super star level players actually and they are not playing well at all this season.

I may understand Luka, he is getting a little sophomore block on his third year instead, understandable, but no idea why Dame is doing this bad so far, been nearly a month and he is still not doing well and missing threes which was his talent and for some reason he has been bad so far.

We have already seen it that most countries would prefer to have their own digital currencies that are issued by their central banks. So far it has only been El Salvador that has decided to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender. We are not sure if other countries are going to do the same thing, and by the way that wasn’t the reason why we have Bitcoin today, so I am not expecting it to become illegal tender in anymore country.

If Bitcoin should become a legal tender in every country around the world, then the government will be prompted to attempt a total control over it, which wouldn’t seem like a nice thing for them to do. Bitcoin was created to be a currency on his own that would be used by people who needs freedom and privacy.  So, I don’t get why some of you are still talking about it becoming a legal tender in countries, if you’re not OK with the volatility of crypto currencies, then I will advise you to just take a break.

I respect the thesis and write up but i doubt the word fair should be in the statement. Instead of provably fair it should just be tagged provable because Once something is used for exploitation, the fact that it can be proven is insufficient to make said exploitation a fair act.
That is what I meant as well. Provably fair is "provable" is literally that thing we are talking about. I mean if you are getting scammed then it should be proven that way too, if it is fair then it should be proven that way too, there is really no middle ground. If you are scammed and you can't prove it, then it is not provably fair, or even if you win and you can't prove it then it is not provably fair. That is the biggest and greatest achievement of blockchain tech made for gambling world.

Imagine a system where nobody can scam anyone without letting it be fully obvious, it is not just that you can't be scammed, you can be but in other places you were already getting scammed, whereas in crypto gambling world you can't just get scammed and have no proof of scam that you may go to press or forums, here we do have that and if anyone ever tries to scam then it will be provable.
1865  Economy / Speculation / Re: Getting early 2018 top vibes! on: November 01, 2021, 08:35:30 PM
I had watched bull market in 2013 and the bear market in 2014 and also bought some bitcoin when it was trading below $200 in January 2015. Still, I failed to act by the end of 2017 to sell and buy back bitcoins so that I could have enjoyed at least 4x more bitcoins by this time. I believed into continuation of bull run into 2018 but market reacted exactly same manner and showed us up to 80% downfall.

Some people are speculating about continuation of bull run into 2022 this time but not sure what will happen. Only time will answer, I am just watching exactly how I did by the end of 2017.
It is nice to see another person who has been around here as long as I have been. Most people I talked to get in during 2017 period, and very few got in during 2014 bull period, rarely I end up seeing someone who got in before 2014, I have been here since late 2012 and it has been a wild wild ride. BNB has double or even triple the amount of marketcap that I saw bitcoin in, I remember bitcoin having less than half of bnb's current market cap when I first got in. Not all of us made insane returns, people assume that just because we have been around for longer, that means we made more money and got rich super insanely.

Someone who bought shiba 1 year ago or so, and still hold it today, made more return than I have ever made in my 9+ years in crypto. It is not about being here longer, it is about being able to sniff out the best returns. 2018 was a different beast, it was a very big crash, I doubt that we will ever have that type of crash again, I saw many drops before and after 2018 and none was like that.
1866  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How did you learn to trade? Did you learn it in a hard way or?...... on: November 01, 2021, 04:04:00 PM
It might feel good when getting profits in the beginning but as the time moves by, we might loose due to inappropriate moves and that will at times push us to stop trading.
Being emotionally stable is more important regardless of we are making profits or losses. I agree that beginners might find it too hard to treat both profits and losses in a same way but we need to practice it so that we could focus on next trades regardless of what we did in the previous trade. If you celebrate or regret your previous trade then you may miss out another new opportunity.

I think the better way to learn trading is to ask help or an advice to an expert.
Having a mentor must be a good idea but it may cost more beyond your affordable levels. Usually what we can do is, just having friends or known people who are already into market and able to guide might be a better option. Moreover most people may not prefer to guide you by leaving off their routine trading schedules.

the point is never to be lazy to read and never be ashamed to ask those who are experienced.
Yeah, utilizing all the available resources must be a key thing which decide the level of our success. Being lazy must be one of the negative factor which drives beginner into backfoot due to lack of self motivation.
1867  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't lose your profit unnecessarily on: November 01, 2021, 08:48:38 AM
regarding with the market trend, technical indicators and analysis this gives you a hint to get a profit and losing your assets.
If we are good at technical analysis then we never need to lose those potential profits like how OP is concerning here. Only because of lack of accurate technical analysis, we are suffering by not able to compete against the market fluctuations. If our analysis are good and enables us to book profits at right times then we can easily ride on market swings which must be another level of trading performances to enjoy the maximum benefits for the same market fluctuations.

The best thing one should always do in trading is - cash your profits because loss is imminent at some point.
This might be true only on short term and in long run, you need to let your profits grow along with time which may be trailed with stoploss to cut earlier so that you may not be losing your capital as well. For long term trading of bitcoins, you do not need trailing soploss as far as I have experienced.

I hope Aguero is fine, sure manager changes and bad results and sacking Koeman all are bad things for the general outcome of the team but this is life situation and when we are talking about something regarding someone's life, football needs to take a back seat. I hope that he will feel better in the near future, I hope he doesn't force himself and tire himself out too much, he should take a rest for a while and try to get better.

I know that it is not going to be easy for a player like him to just rest for a long period but he definitely needs it. Barcelona also another bad news from Al-Sadd who doesn't want to let Xavi go, and I think both Barcelona president who doesn't want Xavi since Xavi turned him down before, on top of Xavi not wanting to lead a team that is so bad right now combined will make it near impossible for all parties to come to an agreement.

Hash Clash Vol. I is over. It is really cool to see these things, I really hoped for a much more entertaining game with multiple goals, maybe lead changes and all that so it would get attention. We all know games that end up like 2-0 one team then other scores 3 goals and make it 2-3 instantly gets more views on youtube and other platforms. In that case we would have seen people who take interest in crypto as well since there are more viewers which means there are more people who would see stake and sportsbet together.

In any case, we managed to have two teams, playing a game, both sponsored by crypto companies and that was really good, it was really a step forward in crypto world.
1870  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin slumps as China bans all cryptocurrency transactions on: October 31, 2021, 06:44:08 PM
I wouldn't worry about China as long as there are other countries supporting it every step of the way. Just my thoughts Grin
I would agree with you in this statement, China cannot beat us if the majority of the world will adopt bitcoin, their people will continue to be under dictatorship but we bitcoin users who live in a country that is bitcoin-friendly will be able to enjoy the new technology as a payment system and most especially as a store of value for our money.

I don't anymore expect that they'll unban bitcoin, I consider their announcement to be final.
I believe that China assumed if they make every manufacturing very cheap there and let other nations use them for building stuff, they would become the world power. However, just because you are "owed" money doesn't mean that you have money, those are very different things. Can you imagine how richer banks would be if all of the loans they gave out suddenly all gets paid in a single day? China can ban crypto as much as they want, and rule with dictatorship and concentration camps and torture, as long as they keep doing that then people will slowly get away from it.

Even the biggest companies who really need Chinese cheap manufacturing are moving to other nations now because they do not want their name to be associated with them. When you make your nation a stigma and people start not buying stuff just because it is from your nation and you can't get paid what you are owed, the future looks horrible for them. Meanwhile we are out here doubling and tripling our money every year in crypto Cheesy.
1871  Economy / Economics / Re: Facebook Diem on the run for launch on: October 30, 2021, 10:26:04 PM
Banks won't allow that to happen. After all, banks consider Facebook's digital currency as a threat to their very existence.
That was my first thought, too. But then I remembered that exactly the same discussion took place a few years ago when it came to the integration of Apple Pay and Google Pay. Why should banks do that, it would jeopardize their own business model and cost returns? That was the statement of many at the time. Today, almost every bank has integrated Apple and Google payment options because they had to bow to pressure from customers and the market. It could be the same with Diem, if there is enough acceptance and demand among people.
It is not up to banks to allow or not allow something like that. Crypto is a threat to their very existence as well but they couldn't stop it. If there is a money to be made they will jump in willingly, and if there isn't a money to be made then we are going to be fine anyway, it is going to be something of a challenge for a while but if we got crypto accepted then we are going to get facebook accepted as well.

All we need to do is pressure them by using it anyway, do it p2p if you want to first but as long as it grows big then we are going to be fine. All in all I have to say there is a good case for facebook diem or libra or whatever they name it could be seen as something that banks will eventually accept. On top of this, as long as facebook bribes the right people, then banks will not have any say in it, banks became this powerful by bribing anyway, so facebook could beat them in their own game.
1872  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop lose trading feature on: October 30, 2021, 06:38:12 PM
If you meant when you said "being away" is not looking on your Trades for couple of days or a week, then it's neither good nor a bad move. Trading requires a lot of time to monitor your trades, to make technical analysis to increase your chances of winning, stop loss feature is just for automatic closing your trade at the price you've set it'll stop, that's it.
Yes, OP is about to find a method to close their trades when they are unable to watch and close the order. I guess it would be on either side like it could be on target side and stoploss side as well. So, I guess going by any automated way of executing orders on behalf of manual trading must be an appropriate solution here but OP is concerned about only stoploss side hence I doubt they are into long term swing kind of trading hence they not in need to close while reaching certain profit levels for their open positions.

Personally I will not look for any automated way of closing options as I instead will go for mobile version or will keep my laptop ready to watch and close orders for the case of if I will not able to trade from my PC. Just a reliable way rather than going for ad-hoc solution on demand.

Maybe nowadays Bitcoin campaigns are coming up more often but don't forget that this campaign is running for very long time and if I am not wrong since from 2014 so some people love to stick with the long term campaigns instead of moving to campaigns every week just because they get few more pennies.
Plus, when you consider if you are a big name there, like get listed at A list, then not get paid for 10 weeks so you get a big bonus, it does become like any other payment. Definitely other places pay a lot more weekly, and you are required to spend a lot of time here (maybe shorter here since people at high levels may leave for one that pays weekly) then you get to become a high tier participant who gets big bonuses time to time when the payment is done.

I haven't checked but if we checked the highest paid person on the last payment, I am sure when you calculate the weekly, it is closer to the ones from other campaigns as well. So there is "some" reason to stay here, not really logical but at least reasonable.
1874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Issue of fixed Matches on: October 28, 2021, 11:03:24 PM
in almost any sport event that I went to watch live before the pandemic there was always someone that had a hot tip or knew someone or heard a rumor about what it would happen, for some time I thought those people were just trying to be helpful but now I know that most likely they were scammers trying to make me bet on one direction while they did the opposite in order to increase the odds of their choice and get more money that way.
But, if someone's tip will not get you profits then I guess you may not go back to them for another tip for another match, right? This way I guess people may not keep trying to trap you for their indirect benefits. People usually fix a match where stronger team unusually may lose. It means most bettors will go by stronger team but when it suddenly losses then those match fixers will earn massive profits hence I guess that most such people may not contact you in person if their intention is trapping you by giving out invalid tip.

How could we still make 30 -40 $ with a 1% house edge? Wagering 1000$ with a 1% house edge, will in theory lead that you get back 990 $ and thus looses 10$. Offcourse, it all depends on your luck also. You might get lucky and end with a profit or end with a bigger than expected loss.
You should read more carefully babygun  Wink we are here talking about the Eddie's Guarantee. The maximum (half) refund is $50 then if you are interested in the Eddie's bet of the week but it finally loses, you will receive $50. To get this refund you need to have wagered $1000 at least before, that is to say theoretically "lost" 10$ at 1% House Edge. $50-$10=$40
(If you were not interested in his bet initially, of course it doesn't really result in a profit for you, except if it wins)
I am still in the firm belief that if you really want to gamble, do not do it based on what you could get back or what is the competition or what the promotion is and just bet because you want to.

Definitely there could be some eddie's pick situation where you could get something back, but if you wager just because there is a chance that you could get 50 bucks refunded, then you are going to lose a lot. Not because you ended up gambling, we all gamble and yes we all lose eventually, but because you wagered on something you didn't want to which is the quickest way to make a loss. I personally prefer the method where people gamble what they like, and not what someone else picked for them.
1876  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we in 2017 again? How do you feel about the price chart today? on: October 27, 2021, 09:24:45 PM
Looking at the chart movement in this year, I think, we don't see Bitcoin price falling again like 2017 which will be a 50% decline. Bitcoin has continued its gains throughout the year and has even reached 2x ATH just six months away. Therefore, there is no need to worry about bitcoin price correction because moments like 2017 will not be repeated.
In 2017, bitcoin prices started to fall only by December third week hence right now it is too early that we think about repeating of 2017.

Bitcoin needs to show at least 10x growth before repeating the down market; I mean first we need to experience the repeating of bull market this year and then I guess we can prepare ourselves to face similar kind of downfall market as well. Not sure that we are going to have same kind of 4 year cycle this time as well or something new which is hard to speculate, no one knows.
1877  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin metrics “INSANELY BULLISH”! Can the King go to 200K or more this cycle? on: October 26, 2021, 06:50:55 PM
End of the understood cycle?
Anything could happen. But, when most people start being cautious then no one could hold the market. I mean all the investors who had watched bitcoin markets by 2013 and 2017, definitely will look for bearish market from January 2022 which means they may not add new bitcoin to their portfolio. So, when market sentiment turns then understood cycle will persist.

Only whales could take the current bullish trend till mid of next year. They need to trigger FOMO to make individual investors to help them.

I just wonder what are the possibilities for the current bullish rally to end without having an FOMO phase? If that will be possible then we may fail to touch $100k itself with this current rally. When everyone was expecting a bearish trend in January then everyone may remain cautious which again will end the trend of understood cycle.
1878  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation & Supply Chain Issues-How bad is it going to get?! on: October 26, 2021, 06:20:51 PM
First, how bad is inflation in your country..what % is it currently at?  (Here in the U.S. it's between 4-6% on average.  Many items have inflated much more such as seafood being around 20-30%)

Second, are you seeing supply chain issues in your country and how bad is it? (For example my favorite toilet paper has not been produced for well over a year now.  Recently my two favorite bags of chips have become unavailable from both supply chain issues and factories focusing on other items, putting them ahead of my FAVORITE damn chips lol).
This is quite similar to what we’re facing in my country as well, there have been an increase in the price of almost everything you can get in the market these days. And as for not finding things I need in the market, well I can find them but the problem that I’m having with most of them these days is that companies are beginning to reduce the number of items that were usually in their products they sell: take for example let’s say that you can buy a biscuit of $5 and see about four pieces of biscuits inside it, this time around if you buy that same biscuit you are going to see only three pieces inside it.

And the worst part of it is that even after they have decreased the number of items in that product, they will also increase the price as well which is really annoying. I just hope that things get better and not continue like this.
1879  Economy / Economics / Re: [LIST] Countries that own bitcoin on: October 26, 2021, 05:35:55 PM
I am eagerly awaiting for the second entry by OP into the list.

I believe some country must be accumulating as much as bitcoins they prefer but the only thing is they need to declare it. We can expect such declarations in very near future as accumulating bitcoins does not need to be having plans to be used as a legal tender. But, might have plans to be having as part of their central banks' reserve along with gold.

Yeah in my opinion, bitcoin is going to achieve such kind of milestone any time soon which must be a greater thing to have for all the bitcoiners for sure.
1880  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Now the price is bullish on: October 26, 2021, 02:40:25 PM
according to JP morgan , investor on gold ETF move their fund to Bitcoin ETF ,a few of course,but that can be a signal how bullish this year.
This year's most important positive news on bitcoin ecosystem must be the approval of bitcoin ETF after El Salvadar's adaption. But, we bitcoin ETF news came this October but bitcoin remained bullish since last year's November/December so I am not ready to agree that bitcoin ETF is key factor on deciding the bullish trend of 2021. When bitcoin ETF news was arriving, bitcoin was trading around $55 to $58k levels and it helped bitcoin to get around $67k levels.

I think that we will not see 20 in the near future. Although Bitcoin is not the most predictable currency, there is no need to say for sure.
It is not unpredictable by considering its history. I mean we need to go by what happened in 2017 and 2013. This way I am expecting we are never going to see $30 forever hence talking about $20k is not getting me any sense.
