I don't understand why "no existing website that is perfect for players"? What do you expect from a casino? Do you want it to have a negative house edge so that players could earn money? I mean that would bankrupt casinos very very quickly because people would spend thousands of bitcoins knowing on average they will win money. What could a casino make that is better than the current top places which would make them more gambler friendly?

Places like stake, windice, nitrogen, sportsbet all have been doing everything perfectly so far and they have been helping out the gamblers on every single issue and there is no complaints about them at all. Isn't that all we need? A website that is not even a little bit shady that would help people when they face a problem and always have a house edge that's stable and provably fair?
3202  Economy / Economics / Re: Greeks face heavy fines if they don't spend 30% of their income electronically on: December 16, 2019, 02:14:06 PM
Oh, I have never guessed about the online shopping as a way of not evading taxes. It is a marvelous idea, I know we don't spend that much money anywhere in the world and if Greeks are not ready for it they will have to have online shops for basically everything but if they can this is actually an amazing idea.

But, I hate it when governments decide where your money should go, I am not against taxes tho, I like taxes as long as that tax goes to right places, a country is only as strong as how efficient the taxes are used (Greece may not be a good example of that lol) but thanks to this forced online shopping method there would be less people evading taxes. They will have to figure out how they can make sure they know the 100% of peoples income versus spending 30% of it of course but that is a whole another topic.
3203  Economy / Economics / Re: From 2020, the sale and custody of Bitcoin will be allowed to all German banks on: December 16, 2019, 01:27:18 PM
I am not entirely sure if this will be a good thing or a bad thing. I mean we would like the adoption rate to go up and German banks being able to store and even selling bitcoin could potentially increase the adoption. However, should adoption come with the problems of a bank causes as well? We all want adoption, we all hate banks, I don't know how to feel about this.

If I want to just see the good in this I could potentially say that thanks to German banks and the new rules there will be more and more people who will buy bitcoin which would both increase the adoption of purchases/spending of bitcoin, plus the price of bitcoin could increase as well. That being said if I want to see the bad part of it I could totally see banks scamming people with many different methods.
3204  Economy / Economics / Re: 2020 Good for USA dollar Bad for USA stock market on: December 16, 2019, 08:30:18 AM
What is missing from this is that 2020 could be bad for stocks because of the election. People may not understand what these "precise calculations" are because that has been a topic of discussion here and in many other topics and I hate these vague guesses however I can give you just one reason why it won't be good for the stocks.

Whenever there is elections people don't know who will be elected, when they don't know who will be elected they tend to wait in cash and wait for the elections, when elections happen they reinvest back however elections are in November which means most of the year it will be undecided. Think about Bernie sanders getting the nomination, if something like that happens it would be horrible for many business and great for people, that is why many investors will pull their money out and wait.
3205  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade with USDT or BTC? on: December 16, 2019, 07:54:43 AM
Ever since tether came out to be a fraud company that stole peoples money and there is not enough dollars to back the tethers I do not use them. Anyone that uses tether right now have two reasons why, first one is they didn't know tether was a fraud scam company (which they could by simply googling their name) or the second one which is they don't care.

Some people just want to trade and they are willing to use exchanges and their tether options because they know they don't care about the tether itself, they care about ease of trading and after their trading is over they go back to bitcoin and withdraw that, so all they used tether for was trading purposes. I am not that type of person and I had tether a bit before I realized their scam and I sold it all to bitcoin last year and now I never use it.
3206  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kraken suspended my account and refunded the money on: December 15, 2019, 09:05:01 AM
There is always that one line that gives away the whole reason for these kinds of things. "The reason they suspended the account was that we used RDP connection. Why is this a problem we are now in vacation and we used our computer in our country to do the signup and verification process with anydesk", which is basically a way of saying "we were not at the place we said we were" and that is the reason.

You don't have to look further into why and how you got suspended, you should be happy that you got your money back so quickly because they could have kept your money in money laundering charges, now you don't have to be laundering any money but what you did does raise those alarms even if you are innocent. Be at the place you say you are next time and you won't have trouble.
3207  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price 2020 on: December 15, 2019, 08:22:09 AM
Positive predictions are always important, actually almost all predictions are very important unless they are wacky weird ones. When someone comes out and says bitcoin will be dead or it will be $3k or $1k and what not that is not that important, when they say it will be $50k, $100k, $250k or whatever that is not important neither.

However, when someone comes up and says bitcoin will be $6k or $9k or anything closer to it that is realistic and everyone thinks "that sounds possible" those predictions are important.

Remember bitcoin has no regulations on which direction it will go and anyone can sell 30 thousand bitcoins right now or buy 30 thousand bitcoins right now, there is nothing stopping people (except money of course) so when you make predictions you are influencing the traders and investors.
3208  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will be your next move? on: December 15, 2019, 07:44:44 AM
I am already holding bitcoin right now (and some altcoins) and I see them as my retirement money, I would like to retire early so it would be awesome if bitcoin skyrockets one day but until that day I save a bit of money every month and keep a bit of money on bitcoin.

So, I will continue to do that as long as bitcoin is around at these prices or goes down, when it goes down I buy even more bitcoins because it is cheaper so spending same fiat gives you more bitcoin. However, if it goes up, like too much up then I might sell and wait for it to drop back, for example having a $50k bitcoin price would make me sell right now, I won't sell at $20k like I did last time (lucky) because I think this time if it goes up it would go up a lot so I would wait for $50k.
3209  Economy / Speculation / Re: Outrages Bitcoin 2020 Price Predictions of 2019 - LONG LIST! on: December 15, 2019, 07:04:53 AM
I have checked the names of the people who made this weird claims and most of them are not even that important anymore. Bitcoin managed to create one thing that doesn't exist in any other coin, true decentralization. You think ethereum is decentralized? Why does vitalik have so much power on what ethereums direction will be? You think xrp is decentralized? You are kidding yourself.

ALL of the altcoins in the world are centralized either by coding or if not then according to communities that support a leader of that coin. Not bitcoin, right now satoshi nakomoto could come out and prove he is in fact satoshi nakomoto and he will not be listened too much. He could come out and say bitcoin will be 50k and nobody would buy just because he said so. That is why none of these people making outrages predictions matter anymore.
3210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it good to talk about big gains? on: December 15, 2019, 06:24:32 AM
Depends on what you want the outcome to be. If you want to be known as a good trader and you want that to be heard tean you should talk about your gains, it is definitely a way of getting your name heard, you should not only talk about it but prove it and showcase it to people so that you would be considered a good trader.

If you are actually a good trader and prove people that you are making profits, they would want to pay you to teach them or even give you their money. Most of those end up being a fail. On the other hand if you do not want people to bother you, you could just hide it however if you were a person who doesn't want to be bothered why would you come here asking what could happen if you showcase your wins, so I assume you are not part of that group.
3211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone [JAN 2020] Discussion on: December 14, 2019, 05:58:19 PM
UFC has two decisions to make here, either they go for the short term or the long term. If they end up giving Conor another chance against Khabib after this fight (which we don't even know if it will be a win) that means they want money now. Lets be honest with each other here, no reason to lie, if Khabib and Conor fights once more people would watch that, it would make millions of dollars for everyone involved and it would be super profitable for them too.

So, there is actually a decent reason to make Conor and Khabib fight. However if you help conor get that fight that means UFC doesn't care about who wins or who loses or who deserves what, that would mean UFC only cares about money and that would result with many new crazy weird fighters who have an "outside the box" character and all the respectful decent fighters would be boring and not get a shot even if they are at least equally good if not even better.
3212  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you ever trade at work? on: December 14, 2019, 05:07:25 PM
I do not go to work anymore and work as a freelancer now and obviously I do trade while at home doing my freelance work as well however back when I was going to work and was in an office I did more than just trading, I was a bit comfortable because I had my own room (normally a whole teams office but they moved their office somewhere better so I got stuck all alone in a huge space) so I was capable of trading, gambling, watching movies, even downloaded games to my computer with the help of IT (computer wasn't allowing, he bypassed the admin rights lol). That is actually the biggest reason why I have been involved with bitcoin for many years since the early days of bitcoin, I was so bored at work that one day I saw something about bitcoin going up and ever since that day I have been involved.
3213  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to $5k? Tone Vays on: December 14, 2019, 03:55:56 PM
Hey, guys! Check this video where Tone Vays shares his opinion on future of Bitcoin's price. He considers that BTC will fall to $5k and will start growing just after that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qABFMlxnmFA
There will always be "famous" crypto people who will tell the same stuff, just recently someone said bitcoin will be $20-$25k as well but now another person is saying it will be $5k, it is quite chaotic when you go into what the "famous" people say. I am saying "famous" instead of famous because these people have no other connection to real world aside from crypto world, they are not know by 99%+ of the people in the world so what they say doesn't carry any weight if you ask me.

Tone could be bearish, he could be bullish and it wouldn't matter, just because he said something doesn't mean it is a good prediction. Could what he said turn out to be true? It could be but it won't happen because he knew it beforehand, he just made up a prediction and could happen to be right this time.
3214  Economy / Economics / Re: WARNING: The central banks are currently manipulating the S&P 500 right now. on: December 14, 2019, 03:14:40 PM
Is this some sort of manipulation made by the banks towards S&P 500 itself, because people can invest into sp 500 directly as well and looking at the price of it there isn't much change, there is a bit of change but it is not big enough to call it a manipulation.

I am not going to go into the route of "prove it" to you but a whole another direction still against OP that basically says, "where is the manipulation?" since I am checking the stocks and the general movements right now and I don't see anything major going on. I feel like the last couple of days have been on the increase and that might be "manipulation" by some people but looking at how it was there before and american economy has been doing decent recently I feel like going back up to where it was is reasonable.
3215  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to make big profits from exchanging bitcoin to altcoins on: December 14, 2019, 07:27:10 AM
Pump groups are not a way to make money if you are a follower, it is a way for the leaders to make money. They decide on a coin way beforehand and they buy it slowly and then they "disclose" which coin will be bought and suddenly a lot of people buy that coin and price goes up and the leaders who bought it way before sells it when they feel like they made enough money and they stop. That is the reality of it, only the leaders and the quick people make money and a ton of people see the "potential" profit that they missed while losing money and they try again the next time considering they might make money next time around.

It continues like that until the whole group doesn't have enough money left and all of it goes to leaders so the group stops doing it.
These people do not realize the damages they do these altcoins and that is the saddest part.

After a pump and dump that coin never really fully recovers because the people behind it lose all hope towards their coins after a pump and dump realizing they won't ever be big enough to not be bothered. They always live in the constant fear of getting their coin moved however a bunch of people who are greedy enough to destroy them wants.

I think these people need to at least once have a coin on their portfolio that gets a pump and dump and feel the aftermath of the said deed in order to fully understand what they have done wrong. Even in that case they might not understand it. I personally would never do something like this because I respect the teams and community behind altcoins a lot.
3216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is for you scam project and what is for you good project? on: December 14, 2019, 06:36:54 AM
If you go to website deadcoins.com you will see that there are many coins that are scam coins that ended up being just a way for the owners to take ICO and leave. So, I doubt that we can have a "favorite" scam coin, there are thousands of them and I think they all suck equally since they all scammed people. However the favorites are quite marginally different in peoples eyes depending on what you consider "altcoin".

For example, if we are allowed to pick ethereum then I am picking ethereum, it is second biggest coin and it has an insane value and utility to use so I feel like it will never die so I support it, however some people don't consider ethereum as altcoin anymore since it became so mainstream, thats why my new favorite is EOS which is going on ethereums steps following it.
3217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Crypto/Blockchain hype over? on: December 13, 2019, 05:23:42 PM
The hype itself is not over but technology caught up with the optimum efficiency. So, in the past 2 years developers coded the most important aspects of blockchain and what could be done with it and there was a huge hype about it, nowadays unfortunately there are not that many innovations in blockchain world, there are small tiny ones but people don't see that as important so right now people are not hyped about things that are not important.

If one day something major happens about blockchain and a new thing comes up that nobody has managed before, we could potentially have a huge hype once again. Plus, crypto is still loved by many which is provable by the huge transaction numbers we have in many altcoins, people are still using it, we just don't talk about it as much.
3218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Nike secured blockchain patent for cryptokicks on: December 13, 2019, 03:05:59 PM
I don't get it, I read the full article as well and I still don't really understand what blockchain has to do with shoes. From what I understand you will be getting a sort of "token" that will be attached to your shoe, however how would people know if I will sell that shoe or not? Maybe I will buy it early and sell it for higher price and keep the tokens with it?

There is nothing that prevents people from buying the shoe from a second hand store without the token with it. So all this is helping is the sneaker heads who buy tons of shoes all the time and store them at home and they will be able to do the same digitally now where they will have tokens representing the shoes they bought and they can showcase it online about how they have a lot of shoes.
3219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will binance reach $23 as per experts prediction? on: December 13, 2019, 02:29:14 PM
Did you know?

According to experts, their is huge possibility that the token will recover to the value of $23 in the best case scenario.

 https://coinpedia.org/information/bnb-binance-coin-price-prediction/

Let me know your point of view on this?
At its peak BNB managed to see 38 dollars, that wasn't because the price of BNB increased versus bitcoin that much but the trick was bitcoin going super high while all altcoins going down in bitcoin value except BNB, people managed to keep BNB at the same bitcoin price or close while bitcoin value in dollar increased, so it peaked at 38 thanks to basically "not moving" a bit.

Now, 23 dollars is not really that high, right now BNB is close to 14-15 and right now bitcoin price is pretty low as well, it became $14k this year and now its half that, if we can get bitcoin price moving once again and reach to a new high while keeping the BNB price versus bitcoin now moving, that would equal once again BNB increasing in dollar value easily, it is quite possible to do so.
3220  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is 2.5x more popular than DJIA (world’s strongest financial market) on: December 12, 2019, 01:06:12 PM
One of the main reasons why bitcoin and DIJA have such a huge difference is that people don't talk directly about DIJA that much, they talk about the stocks they talk about commodities whatever they talk about that is directly investing but they don't talk about DIJA directly.

In order to compare apples and apples we might take a look at "crypto currencies" instead of bitcoin itself because lets face it there has been more interest towards bitcoin than any other crypto and there is even less interest to talk about crypto currencies in general. So, I would say this is not a proper comparison since Dow Jones is not really something that is talked about by people that much, things inside Dow Jones is the things people talk about all the time and a whole sector works around it.
