I do not understand people who think that bitcoin needs to go back a bit first to go even higher. Do you guys remember the 2017 peak at 20 thousand dollars? The price went up so high that it didn't even look back, it just went straight up without any pull back. There has been a lot of times like that (November 2014 as well when it hit 1400 for the first time).

Bitcoin doesn't need to go low first in order to higher, it can go up right away without going down first. Yeah sometimes the pull back is important and needed, it does happen quite frequently but just because it is healthy and sometimes happens doesn't mean it will happen all the time, it can go up with it or without it. I think this time around the bulls are too strong to let a pull back happen and it will go straight up, except maybe veeeeery small ones.

It's funny how we just assume that every rich man is using Bitcoin to store their value just like their are no other means for them to store their values. Well, I'm not trying to say I'm not okay with that, if it's true, I'm okay with it. Like who doesn't want to make profit these days? Though one thing I'm always sure about is that after the rally they will still withdraw and cause the price to plummet after it has gotten to peak price. But one thing for sure is that I'm always ready for any thing that happens.
We are yet to get to the stage where people will start using it as store of value, average rich man would not do that yet because of its volatility and not to talk of very rich men, but the rich men we have in the cryptocurrency now are just storing their coin for the purpose of investment which majority of them are long-term investors, so as their fund keeps piling up in the market, bitcoin will keep increase while it’s also being demanded by general crypto payment merchants.

This is how we will be getting our value increase while supply keeps decreasing for bitcoin to become a stable coin that can now be used for store of value.
3783  Economy / Economics / Re: Exchange market data manipulation bringing the whole crypto market down? on: May 27, 2019, 10:07:16 AM
The crypto market is born for organizations to manipulate money. We call them whales and certainly the price of altcoins is unpredictable in the future. Because people with money will often control the market and we cannot do anything else.
And one more thing is that the SEC also cannot control our crypto market and manipulation will never stop.
Cryptocurrency technology was never created specially for the whales to manipulate the market, they simply just saw one of the lapses of the system and decided to take advantage of it. Satoshi created it for peer to peer transactions, so that everyone can have full control over their financial transaction without any blockage to it.

People investing large sum of money is natural in every market, both stock and forex market, you need to research to see how much people are moving through these markets too, but because they are both regulated, it become quite difficult for it to be manipulated like crypto, therefore the call for regulation is very necessary.

Despite the increasing legitimate cryptocurrency uses, its continued association with illicit activities and anti-money laundering compliance costs makes banking for cryptocurrency companies hard.

Read more here: https://www.unblock.news/news/cryptocurrency-companies-cant-open-bank-accounts
This is very true. Because of the anonymous nature of cryptocurrencies, people can easily transfer it to settle illegal deals. This is one of the reasons most governments don't want to allow it and as such the central banks will likely continue to kick against it.
That is the worst they can do about cryptocurrency, create FUDS for it, threatening users and many more, but technologically , there is nothing they can do about it as no matter what they do, it will not make satoshi or other blockchian companies close down the blockchian.

I am sure this is one of the reasons why satoshi still would not disclose himself ever so that they will not force him into shutting down the bitcoin system which is why Craig must be careful, because when its gets deeper and government invites him, he will have no excuse to give that he doesn’t have the source code.

I just love them so much, windice teams knows whats good and whats not for the customers. They of course want to be "live" forever because the more you stay closed the more you are missing out on making money and you are risking the chance that gamblers may say "screw this" and leave so they knew the importance of the downtime and handled it amazingly. I agree that windice could be the best crypto casino team out there in the world. I am not a judge on this subject, I may have bias and I could be totally wrong so I am not going to argue about it with anyone but my own personal opinion is that these dudes are clearly the best team out there, there are very few that may rival it like freebitcoin and stake/primedice but I can't think of anyone else in the industry as great as this team.

Congratulations to @charitywater for receiving the most votes in this week's Choose a Charity!
Thanks everyone who voted and helped make a difference!

$1,000 donation:
[im g width=600 height=600 alt=image loading...]https://i.imgur.com/XujSwXB.png[/img][/url]

Sounds like a great pick to support, access to water is a human right and everyone should have access to clean drinking water.
Yes everyone should have a clean water to drink.
I hope this would really help a lot and I really like how this goes this charity give aways are from all around the world not just in one country.
The weird and still a good thing about the charities is that you basically decentralized it a bit as well. Not fully of course but you give us options for it and we decide who should get the thousand dollars next. A thousand dollars to say the least, like not 10 bucks not 100, A THOUSAND dollars, that is usually a lot of money to give out per week, that is 52 thousand dollars given to charity every single year. Considering stake is a casino and as well as mostly highs for a casino you guys have bad days where gamblers win as well so not waiting for a good week but doing it all the time is just insane.

Decentralized part is a bit like not fully allowed to pick whatever we want because you give us options but at least we as the followers get to pick which one of those options, that is a bit decentralized to me, maybe not so much to others but I find it AWESOME.
3787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tottenham Vs LiverPool UEFA Final on: May 25, 2019, 05:31:03 PM
The weird thing is Tottenham is actually fine as it is, they do not even need to win the cup, nobody expected them to make it to finals and they made it there anyway and now they are playing at a stage nobody expects anything from them. The pressure is off for them, they already beat the teams they shouldn't and finals is good enough, they are going to make so much money that they will have a lot of money to get great players to their team next year and so forth.

Liverpool on the other hand was at the same situation last year and screwed it up, now they have worked so hard to come back and have another shot so they can't miss it, if they fail to win the cup this season it means for the past 2 seasons they worked for nothing and they will probably not have the same chance again so Liverpool has a lot of weight on their shoulders.

Seems like you have a strong knowledge on trading. BNB has gotten some pump since your prediction here. Can you please detail your thread with the factor you predicted the price?
Lol, exactly what I had on my mind, some people are just too gifted with this prediction, there was one I came across too last week and wished I had followed his prediction, I would have made thousands of dollars by now in bitcoin, Well I am still waiting for the next one because he already predicted bitcoin to be $11k within the next 1 month, but for BNB, I don’t think we need much technical analysis now to know that BNB will definitely get to $50 in another 1 month time with this momentum it is really flying with. I can’t really believe that Binance will jump from $15 to over $30 within a very short time.
3789  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IEO is popular, what do you think? Will you participate? on: May 25, 2019, 07:44:09 AM
One thing about people generally is that we really want things done in an easy way, ever since scammers infiltrate the ICO industry, many people has been coming up with difference advice which of them encourages people to make sure they do research before investing in projects.

If you look at it, it is not so easy to pick these projects one after the other to research on, so people would rather stay away than waste time and cracking their brain like a detective to look for a good project, now that we have exchanges who have promised to dothat for us, what do you expect, people will take IEO projects an just invest in any they see without researching.

That is why we should just endeavor to take projects that come from a reputable company that we can be sure they have done their due diligence, so that our investment would not be like we are gambling.
3790  Economy / Economics / Re: Securitization and tokenization on: May 24, 2019, 05:34:51 PM
They are not the same thing for sure, tokenization is just meaning that something that is not coin but is a token that represents some currency, for example tether is token of usd in crypto world, it is not dollar, it is not coin it is token of dollars representation.

Securitization is however when a coin (or a token) is legally out there, its not illegal to run non-security stuff but securitization makes sure its legal, its like all thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs, so it is basically registering a company and working under it under certain laws. Now that we talked about both you can see how both of them can be quite different and have very few comparisons, they are both good if done properly but they are totally irrelevant to each other.
3791  Economy / Economics / Re: Jobs Created by the Blockchain & Bitcoin on: May 24, 2019, 03:55:41 PM
Lucky are those who are spending time with Blockchain technology because they are able to gain the best profit while earning and being able to sustain their needs. Truly, Blockchain has been opening and providing a lot of better opportunities to employed or even unemployed people. It's a big help and it has been making our lives lighter.
Honestly we cannot deny this fact, this little time blockchain was created, the number of lives it has saved and the number of jobs it has created for the jobless is very encouraging.

I was on a thread this morning and op ask of the source of their investment in cryptocurrency and 80% of their response was directed towards bounty campaign to the people that even has zero amount to invest, but when the opportunity of campaign came, they were able to get money and invest for their future, this is 1 out of many things that blockchain technology has done.
3792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: IEO - new ICO? what is difference? on: May 24, 2019, 08:29:54 AM
i am back in kripto, and now all ICO is IEO,
what is tecnical difference? IEO is better then ICO?

i know difference with ICO and STO, here is different tokens (security and equity)
IEO is same shit as ICO?

why is shock about IEO, IDK, can someone help me with short answers?
Well, nothing different that much about IEO and ICO, they are same way of crowd funding, but just that IEO is a regulated one which makes it quite difficult for scammers to scam investors through fake projects and bad products.

Naturally, ICO is still the best, but for scammers, we just have no choice than to stick with IEO and even with IEO, we still have to be careful not to rely on exchanges to do the research for us alone, but we still have to do our own research because not all exchanges know how to carry out the IEO project properly, I only trust Binance with this IEO project and maybe Bittrex.
3793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We Create Our own Bull Run....and everyday might be a Bull Run on: May 23, 2019, 05:23:06 PM
In ourselves we can definitely create our own bull run, not literally bull but a continues earning in our side. we can do our trading in terms of day trading and finding alts or coin that can give us profit. We can watch the market and buy and sell. Crating a literal bull run needs some huge amount or be accompanied by groups of whales which is impossible to do alone.
That is right, with our economy condition, it is absolutely impossible to create our own bull run, except one is extremely rich to do so wherein 50% of the world’s population leaves an average life.

Recently that bitcoin increase from $7000 to $8000, imagine at that point that I have about 1 million usd to invest, which means I would have made an extra 142000 dollars within that short time. We all know this but how many people really have this kind of amount to really risk into cryptocurrency investment? Except whales like you said. So we should just stick with the little we can do and leave the rest to luck.

The best way to lose your coin is what you are already trying to get yourself engaged with, since you already have your holding in these top coins already, there is no point diverting into gambling again, whatever amount you can put in Bitcoin investment is enough to help you get it multiplied in future.

So, I would not advise you put money into game for the purpose of multiplying it again, but if the game is ready to give a free BTC without me committing money, then I will be interested otherwise, they can keep the game to themselves, I am not interested and even if I know one, I will not advise [people to go for it.
3795  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | Creators of Dicing 🎲 | 29 Billion Bets | 112+ BTC Jackpot! on: May 23, 2019, 03:59:19 PM
90% chance to win a game is not really that viable if you consider the fact that you need to profit 10 times before you can lose once and still break even, if you have a lot of money and do that couple times in a row there is a high chance you make a profit from it since you can outspend anytime you lose, someone who loses on that system can just bet x10 more than the previous bet on the next bet and win (and even if by luck lose again you can x10 again).

Moreover, if you have very little amount of money even one bad loss early one could offset all you do and can make you just try to catch back on break even instead of trying to win. I have used this strategy when I was gambling with the free doge that was given and it was decent strategy but I wouldn't be capable of doing it on bitcoin.
3796  Economy / Gambling / Re: BLOCKCHAIN. The Future of Online Casinos? ✅ on: May 23, 2019, 09:12:23 AM
That's why we resemble blockchain a lot like internet. Normally internet got bigger and bigger and its even getting bigger every single day. It allows all information to be shared globally and it allows people from all around the world to talk to each other.

Now, blockchain allows that to be in finance too, when internet got bigger the applications on phones, the websites of banks and everything in between allowed people to digitize their banking systems however money itself was still the money we all know, blockchain managed to make that global too. Of course, that allowed gambling to be part of it pretty quickly, probably after exchanges it was the first thing people created for bitcoin and it has been playing a HUGE part in development of bitcoin for the past 6-7 years.

I played on casino site some days back and won a  certain amount of money, i was expecting to cash out my money instantly because one of the things that lured me to the site was the fact they offer instant payment. Its been days now and am yet to get my money. Please help what can i do in this case because i am becoming impatient
PS i forgot to add that they are requesting i fill KYC form and i didn't see this before i started playing.
Why do I think you are just been unnecessarily impatient? I am glad that you have already added in your comment that the attribute of the site that got you playing there is that it offers instant payment, so for a site that have been known for instant payment, why not give them more time to sort out whatever issues that is causing delay in your withdrawal? I have encountered an issue like this before, but because I was very sure of the site and it wasn’t my first time playing there, I relaxed till my payment was paid. You can do same if you know the site so well or otherwise

You can reach out to the team support. I believe they will provide answers to your questions.
3798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 51btc won in a day on: May 23, 2019, 07:33:41 AM
Its really hard to believe really but I know so well that it is achievable.  Only the gambler in question can explain exactly what he did to get this huge win but the upper posters idea of this been a motivation to achieve perfection is absolutely wrong. I disagree with that idea; there is never a perfect gambler.

In the world of gambling, there would always be mistakes and no amount of lessons will qualify a player to become so perfect with the assurance of always winning or winning so big.
I am even sure that the guy who made that huge money out of gambling got it out of luck, it happens a lot in lottery but his case is different because of the platform he played but it’s still very possible that he made it out of luck. Not efforts.
Wins like these always look so unbelievable because it is rare but truly possible, I feel that is why it is called gambling lol. Achieving perfection in gambling as mentioned by the above poster is actually possible but not with the promise of giving consistent money or this huge one made by the OP.

I have seen players that would dedicate sometime to go for proper lessons on gambling so as to avoid loses and increase the chances of winning and it really works for them, but to win this big, I am so sure that he player has paid his price.  That chart is incomplete, he must have lost a lot before that day he won this and maybe he got so lucky because of his level of patience that kept him going.

Congratulations
We would like to inform you of our dear business. You won the silver prize in our annual competition. And  you win one BTC.
Now we want to deposit the prize into our account.

But there is a problem currently preventing filing
Your account balance must be equal to 20% of the value of the prize
If there is no minimum balance in the account please send the remaining value to the following address before 11 pm GMTFrom Monday, 20 May 2019
the address is

We would like to inform you that if this value is not sent to this address, the prize will be withheld from you and given to another competitor
FreeBitco.in, 3rd Floor, J and C Building, PO Box 933, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands

I do not know if my email is being hacked or what but somehow they know that I am playing this lottery all the time. Just want to reconfirm again this

As the others have already said that is an obvious phishing attempt. It is easy to fake the sender's address on an email.
Anything that asks you to make a payment to claim your prize is a 419 advanced fee scam. We wouldn't send an email with such bad grammar. Is that BTC address your freebitco.in deposit address? Is there any mention of the alleged competition on the site or have I announced it here?
It isn't that you have been hacked but rather the scammers have probably purchased a list of email addresses associated with Bitcoin on the dark web and are phishing them.
How is it so easy to fake an email address? I mean honestly that email contents are clearly yelling scam but I would have probably thought freebitcoin sent it to me nevertheless when I saw the email address.

I have learnt a new thing today that faking an email address is quite easy, I would have never known. People are really improving the scamming quality lately, they have been really working hard to make everything look as real as possible, even on twitter where someone asks for money like he is Elon musk was a very known scam for a short while but I remember dude making over 20 thousand dollars there too.

Thankfully I have never been on the bad end of a scam attempt, not that I never fell for a scam attempt, there was literally no scam attempt specific to me (didn't fall for tweets like that or anything but that wasn't directed to me).

I don't understand why would pornhub want to create a scam casino website with live dealers. I mean I am not saying they are not and I am not saying they are but the common conception here by the people who played is actually about them being scammers and not allowing people to withdraw. They have all they can ask for, girls, casinos and porn if people want to switch back just to relieve for a while and comeback so they are literally as awesome as it gets for people who like that sort of gambling, they should be able to make millions of dollars every single day so why would they resort to scamming?

It would be such a shame if it comes out that they are actually scammers, if I had the control of such a website I am pretty sure that I would make so much money that scamming people wouldn't come to my mind.
