I think common man is not as bad as it is made to be here, when you are talking about common man you think of something like a cave man, regular common man is usually a white collar worker that makes a salary and some of them make enough to put a bit aside and blue collar which is usually too different from each other, some blue collars make not enough to live and some make a ton of money, even in the same job like a car mechanic could be super rich or super poor depending on where and how well they are doing their job.

That is why lets not bury the common man that much neither, yeah we are definitely superior in ideology because we can see how crooked the system is and we are trying to change it but they are not morons neither, everyone focuses on making more money because they know wealth gives you freedom.

This exactly why we have created bitcoin, don't get me wrong the original idea and execution came from Satoshi Nakamoto and they did some bug changes and all that but we are the ones that created bitcoin, after all we gave it what importance it should be, without us users bitcoin worths zero and has no utility at all but the more we use the more we adopt it the more it becomes something important.

Fiat money can't be sustainable, they need to keep printing more and more of it in eternity, if the money system continues like this eventually one house will be 1 billion dollars, one chewing gum will be couple thousand, maybe not now but in 100-200 years its quite possible. That is why I think you should definitely be worried about fiat and move your money to crypto as much as you can afford.
3543  Economy / Economics / Re: Advice on how best to protect your capital on: August 11, 2019, 05:31:40 PM
The best possible way known is to use a hardware wallet, I mean is it possible that they could be hacked? Maybe, if you leave your passphrase out in the open and you give your laptop someone and you just happen to leave your hardware wallet right on the table than leave that person there and go somewhere else? Sure. However, to be realistic, there is absolutely no possible way of getting hacked on a hardware wallet, that is how you protect it.

For the dollar value of it though, not much you can do aside from just keeping it on usdt, there is absolutely no coin that will never drop, all of them will drop at some time and all of them will go up at sometime, so maybe you will buy into it right before it falls, nobody can guarantee you won't and that is why you can't really protect it.

I think it requires a lot of improvements to reach back on what it used to be. Difference is back in the day when someone wanted to use dapps and make a new game they used ethereum, when they wanted to create a new coin they used ETH ico format, when they wanted to do anything basically they used ETH and that made the price go up really high, there was a demand for it for paying ICO which was in billion dollar at one month and not all ICO's sold it right away.

Of course, with time ICO's died and owners kept on selling whereas investors stopped funding which made it go down. Nowadays we have NEO, EOS, TRON and many more for the dapp part of the deal whereas we have Binance chain and IEO hype going around for the new coin printing deal which both makes ethereum fall and not go up to what it used to be.
3545  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the reason for Binance price increase? on: August 11, 2019, 03:03:45 PM
I think the main reason will always be activity for these coins. Not just binance coin but it applies to all other coins. Teams basically just create a coin, work really hard until they create it and then publishing it, then they really work hard during the first months and all, after 6 months there is no team around. Everyone just holds the coin and expects something to happen while some people start selling and there is no buyers which makes it go slowly down and down until its really low.

But, when we find a coin that has a team working really hard for the coin itself then it really makes the worlds difference, it feels like you are actually making a difference and the coin actually worth something instead of it looking like about to die. I personally care a great deal for what the team is doing.
3546  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MarketCap is returning to $300+ Billion Territory Again Can it be Sustain? on: August 11, 2019, 12:42:21 PM
Cryptocurrency Market was surprise us again by the unprecedented rising of Bitcoin in the past few days. But I was confused with these Trend why the Altcoins are still in Red territory only few was gaining ground as of today. is these an organic growth or just a manipulation of the few?
It will take a bit of time to settle but if it stays above 300 long enough it will definitely stay there. In crypto world things are
sustainable as long as they stay there. For example, staying above 300 billion for the first month is always the hardest, but if you manage to stay above it for a whole year then it becomes a second nature and nobody really tries to sustain it since the sellers are gone and that is the market cap we are used to which makes it a lot easier.

So, lets wait and see first, the next 30 days will tell us how sustainable it is, after that 3 months and 6 months are crucial places because usually that is where it becomes unsustainable with all sellers trying to get rid of their coins, then at the end of the day if we surpass 1 year like that then we will be definitely staying above for far longer after that.
3547  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How often do you check crypto prices? on: August 11, 2019, 10:37:01 AM
I think once a day is quite enough, you don't even have to check too much, just go to coinmarketcap and it will show you the first top 50 and just scroll them through like how does the market looks and that should be enough, you should not need more.

I kinda think that people who check more than once a day should be traders, if you have a job based on what the price of bitcoin or any other altcoin is then yeah there is a reason why you should check the prices but if you have nothing to do with it and just an investor then once a day is more than enough, what can you do about it by looking at it if you are not gonna trade it or have power to change it yourself? None. Hence more than once a day is purely trader thing and no one else should do it in any circumstance.

I only ask for their tax declaration they anyway made.
lol, "I am only asking tax declaration", yes "only" like it is something very normal and everyone asks regularly, I am asking everyone around here, when was the last time you have asked for tax declaration of any place you have ever visited?

Do you really go to a cafe and ask for tax declaration to see how legit they are? You are not making any sense man, I know you are trying to troll and abuse people here and we all know you like attention because you obviously not getting any in real life but if you are going to bother casinos at least find something real, there are tons of casinos in crypto world that is legit scamming their users right now, go pick on them for what they did and have exactly one proof that you managed to get people got paid back thanks to your enforcement, then maybe people will take you seriously.
3549  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you agree with this crypto expert's bitcoin price prediction? on: August 11, 2019, 07:41:08 AM
Well!! Popular crypto expert Tim Draper predicted the bitcoin price.

According to Tim Draper, Bitcoin Price Will Hit $250k by Q1 2023

What's your take on this?
I think the year 2023 is just too further away to make a prediction. Everyone thinks this is another bull prediction and between Tim Draper, tom lee and John Mcafee we had plenty of bull predictions so this one doesn't make any difference, some of them even made predictions it will be 15k by the end of this month but I do not see it happening at all but at the same time 2023 so further away that anything could basically happen until than and 250k could totally happen.

I personally feel like 2023 is the perfect time for that 100k price point, I know that sounds unreasonable and sounds unrealistic but 100k is something we all have been waiting for and in 4 years time why shouldn't it happen? As long as everyone starts to believe it than sellers will stop selling at these prices and buyers will keep on buying until we hit 100k, it is totally doable if you ask me.
3550  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bull Run ‘Hasn’t Started’ on: August 10, 2019, 05:50:29 AM
I guess bull is not really a limit, you don't need like a 60% of previous or 20% of next whatever to really consider it a bull run. There are literally people who will claim that this recent one was a bull run as well, like literally moving from 9k levels to closer to 12k is a "bull run" to some people, maybe it doesn't feel like it but that is what it is.

Hence, there is no definition of bull run for global acceptance, it is personal thing, to me when it moved from 3k to 13k that was a bull run, I don't need any further than that, it was already a bull run when it moved from 3k to over 6k because that was 100% increase so quickly, yours could be different, you may think it has to move beyond the 20k all time high to consider it bull run, it doesn't matter, that is all our personal thoughts.
3551  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: can exchange services sell my personal data? on: August 09, 2019, 07:25:35 PM
They can't really sell it in a legal sense but when has it ever stopped a company to do anything illegal.

If money is involved and they are offered enough and they know they are not tested by good people to take their shady business methods into light than they will do it.

If you just mail them "I will give you 1000 btc for personal info" they won't take it definitely, these are sensitive stuff and these companies take it seriously, however if you know the owner and you met them in couple of conferences and you became a bit close to each other in the sense that when you see each other you know the names of each other without reintroducing yourself, than you may start to talk with them about it and eventually lead to buying it. That is how the system works, shady to shady people.
3552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I am very Pro Dogecoin – Says Ethereum Co-founder, Vitalik Buterin on: August 09, 2019, 06:22:22 PM
What happened with this? Vitalik may love doge its fine but that was purely speculation and nothing, he wanted to test how much he has power over crypto community and he just wanted to let everyone know he likes doge and watch doge increase. That way if one day he decides to manipulate like a whale he would buy a certain coin a bit and than say he loves that coin than the coin would go up and he would sell to make a profit. That is exactly what happened here as well, doge went up a bit before he said he likes it and than it went up even more, he probably sold it after it went up to make a profit as well, this was probably just testing phase so he didn't make too much but the next time he says he likes a coin check if there was an excess sudden purchase of it beforehand and you will see it.
3553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling habits that will cost you on: August 09, 2019, 02:31:30 PM
I would say that you have made a very great decision and  frankly investing is safer and better than gambling directly even though the profit might be small. I got to know about this after I had lost too much to gambling. It was at that point a friend told me about gambling investment I have no single regret about this.

This doesn’t stop me from gambling, but I only play for fun and its occasional. The mistake we make as gamblers is playing directly for profit, knowing fully well that making huge profit is impossible since the house is and will always remain the winner, at least we all know that the odds are in favor of the house, so wisdom will direct to invest directly in the sites to enjoy shares from their profits.
Statements like this are only made by gamblers that are not willing to learn the required skills in each game. If we hear stories of gamblers winning million dollars from gambling, what stops us from believing we can also achieve this? I read something on the news last week about a guy that won over 50BTC from one of the gambling sites and according to the news, he had never won a dime before that time. Sometimes patience and a heart that is opened to learning is all we need to succeed in the game.

The percentage gambling investors get is nothing compared to what they make from playing directly on the site. So why invest when you can as well play and even make more profit? Just cancel fear, go for more knowledge and be determined to make money from the game and you will surely make it.
3554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Choose Lottery Instead Of Anything Else? on: August 09, 2019, 06:39:36 AM
Ofcourse, lottery is one of the most difficult types of gambling. It involves lots of variables and randomness.  I am considering the skill-based gamblings too. Just that I don't have a lot time to learn and play them.
Random does not make it difficult, maybe you should just say it’s too much based on luck and this is even the most reason why many choose lottery. You can imagine yourself for example, you are interested in skill based game and time has not permitted you to learn. This is the reason many prefer a game that does not have any of these requirements and yet has chances of bringing in money.

Lottery might be luck based but it is cheap and yet comes with good profit when won. I still prefer it to skill based games because even those ones to some extent is dependent on luck though not like lottery
I personally commit some percentage from my monthly salary to purchase lottery tickets.
3555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: KYC Process (Sportsbook) on: August 08, 2019, 05:55:43 PM
Best would be to read the ToS of the website you are using/want to use.
And how does reading the ToC of the site change the fact that this requirement is something that should be tagged a taboo to casino gambling. Sometimes I wish within me that all players can collectively agree on this and write against KYC policy because definitely, this is something that is not convenient for us as gamblers. How would you feel as a player, after visiting a site you would love to play games, and only to discover there is a policy of KYC in such site?

I understand there are other options of site that would or might not have this policy, but understand that leaving your choice of site can be heartbreaking and as well discouraging. I Feel it is really not important and the reason for HAVING kyc ON CASINO SITES IS NOT justified.
Maybe a taboo to you but definitely not to everyone. There is a lot of players filling the KYC FORM ON CASINO SITES DAILY and I am one of those. Maybe you should get to understand the essence of this clearly and you will understand better that it means good to gambling community.

Do you know there are so many kids below gambling age, gambling daily on casino sites because of the privacy they enjoy? There are a lot of gamblers that are into money laundering and yet use gambling as a disguise, so the reason for this KYC is to fetch them out and put gambling industry in the purest state. This is not a bad idea if you ask me and am sure you get understand the concept better now mate.
3556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet on a dog fight? on: August 08, 2019, 04:58:40 PM
I have bet on dog fight and ram and its Fun for me standing in the crowd and watching the dog fight for supremacy. We have adopted the culture of using animals for fight during festival period, and this festival attract many tourist around the globe. Although this is not a global adoption but depends on culture.

This should stop! Honestly, I don't think this is going to be justified by simply saying this is culture-based and so has to be respected because we are a multicultural world. We are a civilized world already. We do not take fun from the pain or even death of animals. This should be banned!

I will never bet, much less watch, dog fights! I'd rather watch and even bet big if its the owners who'll fight it out!
If you ever watch dog betting you would understand that its one of the most interesting animal bets. There’s noting like maltreatment on the side of the animals, after all wrestlers do same, this dogs are only fighting to show how powerful they are or to prove their strength while viewers are been entertained.

Also multicultural world has nothing to do with particular regions belief and traditions, as long as the game means no harm and entertaining, it is justified and accepted and I would definitely bet on it if I am opportune to be where it is played. The most important thing in gambling is to make money and once we see any means that brings this, then its welcomed.

I don't really understand how "people do not post their dividends" neither. I mean just to inform the uninformed, eos doesn't pay you in hand, there is no "we have sent your money with UPS" type of situation, it is ALL on blockchain, everyone should know that, which in return means that if you get paid then you see it on blockchain and on your wallet, which means you can see other people getting paid as well as yours. Hence there will never be a picture of some eosbet employee giving a check to some shareholder for their dividends or something like it is 1970's, if you want to see people getting paid you check blockchain.

If anyone ever wants to show others how much they got paid it would have to be a blockchain link, which means you can actually check it yourself too instead of waiting for others to post it.
3558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You Should Know Before Playing A Crypto Betting Game on: August 06, 2019, 07:49:30 PM
As long as we can select recommended gambling games, we could prevent from the scam site. Research is a must that the gamblers need to do before he plays gambling so he can avoid from losing the money, although by playing any games will make him lose the money. If someone can win from the gambling site and success to withdraw the money, but we cannot do like what he did, it doesn't mean that the gambling site is a scam because that will depends on our account, maybe we break their law, so they don't allow us to withdraw the money.
Talking about research, I admit that this is the greatest aspect gamblers are failing most in gambling. Gamblers just take whatever that is dished to them without digging deep to know more and this has cost so many gamblers a lot .

On the issue of having problems at withdrawal, there are a lot of scam sites that give problems when it’s time to withdrawal not because of any bridge of contract or disobedience to any of their rules but because it’s just their method of deceiving players, you can do your research.

I do not want to drop names here but there are so many of them and this is the reason I keep on emphasizing on research. I was once a victim of this, I actually thought I made a mistake somewhere or didn’t adhere to their rules until I read similar complaints from other users and then we knew it was a new strategy to defraud winners.
3559  Economy / Speculation / Re: John McAfee Says Bitcoin Waking Up Again on: August 06, 2019, 07:14:04 PM
Well!! Popular cryptocurrency expert john McAfee says that bitcoin is waking up again.

According to John McAfee, “BTC waking up again. Up and down but long term steady growth is apparent”

What's your point of view on this?
We need to look beyond bitcoin just waking up, but we have to look at how the price can be sustained, because one of the reason why we have always hard a bitcoin fail to break further barrier is because of bears that keeps selling immediately bitcoin experience a little high, if as at when bitcoin was $13800, there was no bears to pull out of the market, I am sure by now, we might have even seen $20,000 already, but the bulls could not continue to sustain the market till it was forced back to down trend.

I hope that this new momentum will bring us to another high peak, and even if it does not, there is still enough time for advancement, I am sure that by the end of the year, it is possible that we set a record of $18000 because more money will flow into the market this last quarter of the year.
3560  Economy / Speculation / Re: Analyst: Bitcoin below $ 10,000 is a gift! on: August 06, 2019, 06:07:50 PM
Any dip that we see in bitcoin should always be a blessing in disguise, it should always see as an opportunity to make more money, right now as I am sitting on my system, I already have certain amount of fiat separated to make more investment and take advantage of any dip that I see again, even if bitcoin values goes to another correction stage far below expectations, I would still be happy and take the advantage to buy more, because that is how a real  trader can make more money while waiting for some of their long term investment to yield result.

Bitcoin bull run will not start until after its halving next year, and even though there is any surge now, there will always be a correction that will step down the price back to that $10k, and we should also always accumulate anytime it does that.
