To invest in crypto you have to choose a specific time and you have to choose the right token.
And that time is now wherein the market is bearish. Coins are cheaper compared to the price before. Though we cant say how long this bear market will last, but certainly its the time to buy top coins. Its way safer to buy top coins because they're unlikely to be delisted on exchanges and will recover if the market turn better. Its because this situation also happened before and these coins who are existing for years already, managed to survive the bear season.
Delisting is a serious problem and people who can't see that will end up with coins that will get delisted from top exchanges and they will think that what's going on is something regarding another bad news or something but in reality it is just the fact that volumes are dropping which means that there are less trades and that means exchanges do not make that much profit from the less traded ones and could delist those coins.

In return, there will be plenty of people who will lose money because things that gets delisted will get lower and lower, the less places a coin is listed, the more it will drop and eventually that would be a loss that could take years to recover, or may not even ever recover.

Paying out, and making good money are two different things and I believe the difference is huge. Think about it this way, if we are talking about paying out, I could get 1 billion shrute bucks, if it worths zero then it will worth zero. This is why I believe that getting paid in the bounty or airdrop world means nothing. It means that you are doing absolutely the bare minimum by buying people to promote you and if projects do not do even that much, then its definitely sick and lazy scamming. Because of this, "does it worth it? is the real question, because it doesn't matter how much you get paid in tokens, but the value of it in dollars, if it worths it then it worths it.
Even in that case, people are so sick and tired of not getting paid after working hard that, even getting paid is a big deal for most cases. Even if you worked a lot for it, and made only 20 bucks, if ALL of them paid out, that would mean that you could find dozens of airdrops and bounties per month, maybe even 100 of them, that would make a huge huge income for people, you wouldn't need a salary at that point and could make a great return very easily.

This is why people are focusing on getting paid, and yes it is disgusting that some projects do not pay but that is the majority, they realize they didn't get enough attention and stop.

It is great to see the Bitcoin ATM are installed on U.S . It has its advantages and also has disadvantages. The advantage of this is that it can be used to quickly convert Bitcoin into cash. But it will be a lot more expensive Bitcoin ATMs always charge high free.

It's still more convenient compared to withdrawal from crypto to banks. The existence of Bitcoin ATM is visible proof that Bitcoin is emerging in different areas. In most cases where we're having a hard time encashing our Bitcoins, these ATMs will provide convenience for us. I hope that more countries would consider installing Bitcoin ATMs. 
Some of the advantages of it are already posted by the OP but it would be better if he also include its disadvantages. It's like we are introducing btc and cryptos. We don't want others to feel surprised and complain later on. Take note that it's not only bitcoin atm's that will be installed but there's also shiba inu atm's along with it. It sounds crazy isn't it? That they keep on pushing this meme coin.

I thought that this meme coin is close to dying already but despite of it maybe this is a good alternative for those who want to save fees and don't want to use a bitcoin atm but id be glad if other much better altcoins are also going to become available.

yes I agree with you, there are many young talents in other national teams.  and this will be an event that we are very much looking forward to. 
speaking of messi, however he deserves attention with the skills he has.  he is a natural and brilliant player i am one of his fans as well as argentina, even though in 2014 messi couldn't bring his country to win at least being runner up is nothing to be ashamed of.  by the way I can't wait for every game of this world cup. 
I support two countries Germany and Argentina
For me apart from Germany and Argentina, Brazil is also my favorite but this time I have to admit that Brazil is not in a position to win the worldcup. More sad aspect of this worldcup is that its the last worldcup of Messi and Ronaldo, so we won't see them again.
Talk is going more heated as we are heading for next world cup which is going to play in November in this year in Qatar mean first time in the Middle East which is very interesting for world because it is very small country, and we already have too much negative news about this selection which mostly talked they have this hosting due to bribers which were offered to few persons but now all end, and we are starting to talk who is going to win because it is very interesting event with too many teams are favourite and few are having very skilled and quality players those are capable of changing things very drastically but right now peoples having own favourites and mostly loved Brazil, Argentina, Germany and France instead of favourite from Bookmakers.

If  I am not mistaken, it is only Zodiac who answers the tickets.

Even with a single super agent there was never a delay in tickets I've heard if the ticket is valid. Unless it is something that requires thorough investigation, there should be no delay. For other inquiries you could inquire with the moderators in the general chat.
It is basically because LL was cheap enough to see that his business is not doing well anymore since he is gone, decided to just leave it to one person so that he would not have to pay a lot, and then he put all the pressure on just a single person to take and expected things to be fine. If he is not aware of the chaos on this thread and he just ignores it, that should tell you all you need to know, what type of owner would be aware of the terrible direction their casino is going, and still would not care to fix it? If he is not aware of it, that is even worse because that means he doesn't care enough to be following up on his casino’s problems at all.

Overall I never considered him a bad coach but when the context relates to Barcelona there is no denying that he failed there.
Koeman is a pretty good coach but not in La Liga and Barcelona because indeed some of his decisions at Barcelona are considered controversial and this makes him even worse in the eyes of the fans. But for achievements outside of clubs other than Barcelona, he is clearly a good coach.
Koeman did alright when he was there, the point is that he is not the coach that would have a good system with Barcelona, that's the problem. I mean think about it this way, if there is a better team than Barcelona and you could manage it better, but you would fail to manage Barcelona, that is not because you are a bad manager, that is because you are not a good fit, that's all.

And I believe that Xavi is a great fit, he is the "son of Barcelona" type of manager and he will do his best to lift that team higher. This doesn't make Koeman bad, it just makes him not fit for Barcelona, he could still manage another team and be great there. For example PSG could get him if they fail to get zidane? That could work.
1547  Economy / Gambling / Re: Maverick Games 🚀 Join us while we build! Daily Airdrops🔥 Licensed & Regulated on: June 26, 2022, 08:56:49 PM
I have doubts with this and really apologize for ignorance, but in order to access this type of competitions, it is a need to have the amount to play, is that something that I understand, my question is, if they work with Airdrops, how are they presenting them? When they speak or the word airdrop is seen, it reminds me of the projects in 2017 and there were really Airdrops where a lot of money looked, the ooption that you apply here is similar to that of those times? or the airdrops refer to what?
That 2017 airdrop was something different that still has an impact on the crypto community. It is very unlikely that anything like that will happen. Now that they are running a promotion, it would be better to wait for their update. But it is also true that even if you think of something similar to 2017, it is very unlikely to happen.

On the other hand I am also interested to know about this airdrop, how it actually works.
Airdrop is some kind of a reward after doing some task. The only difference here is that you are required to play a certain game according to their post while I see that there are some airdrops that are surprised or they don't reveal if what game you will play before you will be able to get them. That's a genius idea as it makes players to try all of their games. Airdrops didn't die, they still exist but it's only the rewards that got lessened.

I am talking about the airdrops that we usually know, the one where you are required to do social media task like retweeting/sharing the projects post. For someone that loves airdrop and likes to play gambling at the same time then this site is for them.
1548  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Platform for Average Dollar Cost on: June 26, 2022, 08:30:30 PM
What is the best method for DCA Bitcoin? What platform are you using?

It must be cheap.
I advise you use a trusted platform, not necessarily the cheapest.
Some will recommend decentralized platforms like bisq or so, I have no experience with those.
But if you prefer centralized exchanges, you can DCA on those too, just make sure you don't withdraw too often (withdraw only after your buys have passed a certain threshold the withdrawal fee no longer hurts s much).
Security shouldn't be compromised by quantity. You think you can save and buy more in these xx platform but you can find out later on that you cant withdraw your funds anymore. You can lose more money than the fees that you are trying to avoid. Bisq is a popular one but this one is p2p right?

So, we still need to be careful if who we are dealing with. There are more famous centralized exchange but the only problem with them is they are in control of your funds. We will be storing our funds on them for a long time, if dca'ing is our strategy since we are only buying in smaller quantities and withdrawing them in an instant is not wise.

^^^ LOL.. Westerners are going to find this creepy as hell. Even if the couple is in a serious relationship for many years, they won't be allowed to stay in the same room. In the West (and now increasingly in Asia), it is very common for individuals to stay together without marrying. But doing so in Qatar will result in prison time. This edition of the world cup is going to be a disaster for the football fans. Hundreds of thousands of fans will be visiting and in all probability, thousands (if not tens of thousands) are going to land on the wrong side of the law.
Honestly? Arabs find it weird as well and they are just used to it and there is this "if I lived like this for all my life, let the younger generation live like that as well!!!!" mindset going around as well.

I worked in hotels for most of my life and I can tell you that Arabic people who are out of their nations live like however they want without a problem at all, they never try to impose their cultural stuff into your western nation, well maybe when they grow to be a big number that live there, but not as a tourist because tourists wants to do whatever they can. But when you go there, it is like that for you because that's how they keep the power. It's a disgusting political situation that could probably never be changed.
1550  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Polygon (MATIC) to $20? on: June 25, 2022, 04:09:21 PM
The market looks terrible and it is humbling all the top altcoins at the same time. This bearish market doesn't look good. We are most likely to have another set of top altcoins. I wouldn't be surprised if we find polygon falls below her current rank(21st). Her current price is not encouraging a bit($0.4cent).
It looks terrible, it looks not good, etc. You can say any negative things that you wanted to say but for us this market we are seeing right now is perfect. It is a gift that we are always looking for and now that it is luckily given to us, we know that to do next.

I know that once the bull run returns, you and many others are going to complain again about completely missing the opportunity but we know that it wasn't true. Anyway, a bear market isn't the main reason on why a coin fell down to its rank but it will only fell if there is a major problem like a bug on its software, something like that which can independently affect its price. This can also scare investors and won't buy the coin, making its value fall evenly.
1551  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I’m done with trash coins!! Looking for something promising on: June 25, 2022, 03:22:34 PM
Wait till we go deep into this bear cycle, new promising projects will come and you will be able to use the advantage of bear market to buy and hold them, I belief this is a perfect way of making better returns in a bull market.
What you said might be good to try, but the problem is it's hard to know when the bull market will arrive and some good projects won't appear in the current state because the team is always more difficult to develop projects in a better direction. Moreover, if there are several old projects that have died because they cannot survive in the current market conditions, surely the new project team must think of a different plan if they want to launch a new project at this time.
Just don't focus on the bull market but keep on accumulating more coins. The bull market can just come on its own once the bear had already enough of its time. Till now I don't know if what is the relation of the bear market for someone that tries to create a new project. Are the teams distracted and can't focus properly on the project that they are creating?

Well, if that is the case then they better refrain from building a project but what about before, when the market is in good condition, why there are still lots of bad projects coming out? What will be the explanation for that nut not all old projects are good enough, so it's not shocking if some of them dies.
1552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin investments have become risky this day. on: June 24, 2022, 07:01:48 PM
It is indeed the best step to take when a bear market like now, collects coins that we consider potential, so when the market recovers we can generate very large profits. But the reality is that it is very difficult for us to do that, because there must be a fear factor the crypto market will fall even deeper, so it's not easy to buy coins during a bear market. It takes knowledge and good analytical skills to be able to do it.
What do you mean by "there must be a fear factor"? If you are feeling fearless right now, why will you still look for it when it's not going to benefit you in the first place but it will only make you discourage investing or it will encourage you to sell and leave this market because you are experiencing a fear.

It's actually very easy to buy coins in times like this since the prices of most coins are cheap but usually when the market condition is healthy, the only cheap coins that you will see are those who have a poor quality. Investing in older coins or top coins, does not need analysis but analysis are only needed if you are investing on newly released coins.

You cannot compare BCCI to any other boards. Every board is doing something good for its players and it's staff but what BCCI is doing is beyond the expectations and reach of other boards. You cannot ignore BCCI when you are discussing about cricket as they are to an extent controlling the ICC. None of the other cricket board have that kind of power or money at the moment.
Right now as situation is going in ICC and BCCI no one is comparing anything with India because they are financially very strong with big market and having their best tools in their hand for cashing this out but is this good every time you are talking about these points Indian Cricket Board is rich and having enough money. Even they have this all but still in facilities and many other ways they are not using this all for improvement of game and other things, mostly it's going into corruption and their own use, so please stop this all now and just talk about game and better things for others as well.

If we have very strong and balanced management at ICC then surely it's going to be good for all boards and cricket but sadly colonial mind set is never been good for this game.

Russians are unique. They have survived most of the wars. They will survive this war as well.
Putin has been judo learner since childhood - he only believes in military solution but one thing is for sure they are very aggressive and they do what they deem right.
It is a bit about "how" and not "if". I mean sure they did survived a lot of wars, they survived WWII as well, by losing millions and millions of people, a bit of a Pyrrhic victory wouldn't you say?

They had a "cold war" situation where they spent so much money that people were basically starving to death, just so that money would go towards fighting against USA without ever firing a single bullet to each other, meanwhile all through 60's and a bit of 70's, people in USA lived probably the best economical period. Right now as well, maybe the economy in grand scheme looks good, but look at how much people make monthly, you will see who loses in this war.

Many a gambling site is doing their business without posting their announcement thread on the forum and also not doing any marketing on the forum. And they are not facing any issue at the same way if the admin of this gambling site are offline from the forum then that will not affect their business too much if they still manage everything perfectly.
Exactly, people are misunderstanding an ANN (Announcement) thread,  as a customer service center. This casino has those features on the sites that you can utilized instead of clouding their Ann thread. These days it's even hard to get an information on this thread as that's their main purpose of created. Information here are supposed to be less of what is currently going and more of discussion on events, contests from the casinos to info the forum members.

That the admin is online or offline on the forum shoudn't affect your using of their platform. The forum isn't tired to their casino. If everything is working fine then we shouldn't raised unnecessary attention which might lead to fud. Understand that this a is a business official ANN thread and anything you say here might bring business or chase away potential customer.
Honestly that's not really that wrong, because there is no "customer service topic" here, plus they can't really reach out to anyone else in any other place, so that leaves them with two options 1) write here which is the one that makes the most sense and 2) write to twitter which would not be seen or cared about by enough people. So, that is why everyone writes here, that makes more sense and I understand it, that's logical.

Here you get to get your voice heard by so many gamblers and thanks to bitcointalk and this topic, we have learned that LL hasn't been caring about his websites so much anymore and without here I wouldn't know about it until it happened to me as well.

Now I know how cash circulates into the crypto markets. I know fundamentals are the most important part of a project. I again could do mistakes in the next bull season but I will be more mature than to handle the situation. I do take some losses but the lesson it gave me would save a hell lot of money in the future.
Good for you that you started with a laptop but majority here have only started with just a mobile phone so you are considered to be lucky already but thanks to the cryptos because of the profits that it provides, many of us here have now bought their own laptops.

This is important especially for a trader that often check the charts and do some technical analysis, anyway I agree on the 2 items that you list but about the 3rd one? no that's not true. What about other big projects lke btc and eth? Do you still think that they can go to zero? It's important to learn from your mistakes because if not then you won't improve in the path that you choose and you will only lose a lot of money.
1557  Economy / Speculation / Re: Was 17600$ was the bottom ? on: June 22, 2022, 08:26:05 PM

It has been speculated that the BTC price will hit US$10k in 2022-2023 as the worst-case scenario for the entire community of crypto investors and tech companies relying on this cryptocurrency for payment transactions. The prediction is that after hitting the rock-bottom level of US$10k, Bitcoin may turn around for a comeback while reaching the US$50k zone.
From the data above, I assume Bitcoin will go even lower than the current price, the bottom line: I hope, if it happens $10k, hopefully I can do something in Bitcoin for the future, I really lose, if the opportunity goes by and it's useless knowing Bitcoin has reached the level of $ 10k, without doing anything for sure and always in failure.
Yeah, it would be a shame if the price goes down but we do not take advantage of that. I still think that we reached the bottom, but that is something I have been saying for a while so I am not going to act as if I know everything about bitcoin, it could still go down, but we should be taking advantage of it right now, so that we wouldn't be upset if it goes up without ever going down further, but we should be ready for another drop at the same time if it happens.

Maybe do not use all of your money and use some of it, and then go in even more later on? That seems like something that could be done if you ask me. Definitely a challenge, but could be done.

I still stand by my point of view, my favorite is Argentina.
I don't understand how England are placed in second place, as we saw England's game was not impressive. I prefer if the second position is in place by Spain or francis, I think the game of these two countries is better than England. Even England's UEFA nations league tournament had to finish last in group 3.
There are mostly things done by Bookmakers we call this trap, and they are doing same thing in England case because I am also have feeling England has no chance for win in this world cup, and they are second in favorite list which is something suspicious for me and many more around us, or we can call this just like in case of Champions League we have two teams in hot favorite, and they never achieve this honor like PSG and Manchester City.

About whom is going to win this world cup it's too early because right now we have five months remaining in this even and many changes can happen like injuries or some other factors which can play vital role in any team's performance from here any team can go through to win for me Brazil, France, Argentina and Germany are teams to watch.

I did not see any improvement from the Mercedes especially in this track full of straights where usually the Mercedes engine excels in.It did not do so in this race,they only got to the podium and 4th because of Leclerc starting 19th and Perez having a power engine failure otherwise they would be 5th and 6th which in this season seems like their natural habitat.I am starting to doubt now Totto Wolf words before the beginning of this season when he said near Silverstone or after Silverstone we should start to fight for a win,we are now near Silverstone and I have not seen any fight for the win nor I predict one.
I mean they are failing to fix that bouncing problem, and that is the main reason why they are not at the top anymore. If they race with 100% and go full blast then the car bounces a lot and they stop being fast, when it goes down because of the wind, it should stay low, but it bounces back and slows them down.

He assumed that they would fix this by the time Silverstone came, but they haven't so far, maybe they will until that race, but when they do, they will definitely be close to the top even more, not saying that they will win anything or not, maybe a few races but Max is already 2 wins ahead of Charles, so I am assuming that Perez would be a bigger risk to Max this year than any racer from any other team, even if they end up winning a few times.
1560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: June 21, 2022, 07:48:49 PM
Maybe this is one of the reasons why cricket is so popular in South Asia. It can be played in narrow lanes and alleys. On the other hand, other sports such as football and field hockey requires a much larger space. In my childhood, we had some open space near our home and we used to play cricket there. But all those open spaces are gone now, replaced with concrete jungle. But still cricketing activity goes on, as the kids make use of whatever space that is available. Once in a while we get complaints of broken window panes or the ball hitting someone's head.. but apart from that everything is fine.  Grin
But that same thing can be said about football in this region. Football doesn't take either a lot of money or a lot of space so by that theory football should have been the most popular sport in this region but that is not the case.

I think it's just because people's tastes can vary because of different regions. The people of this region simply like cricket a lot. And you know that with football at least a good amount of open space is needed but with cricket that is not really necessary. So, that can be a reason why cricket is generally a lot more popular in this region.
We can play any sport at any place but sadly here in South Asia media play a vital role for spread of cricket so now its most popular game media never give any good intention to other sports like Soccer, Hockey, Tennis and Rugby, so we bounded with this cricket too much. Few years back we have places for these all games but sadly now as @Sithara007 mention we are living in concrete jungle which is killing nature beauty and now our kids are mostly enjoying with indoor games.

Sometime back we were fully enjoying with all outdoors activities but right now mostly peoples love to stay indoor specially in South Asia they have no good schedule like peoples have in European countries.
In childhood, we mostly group of six or seven guys able to enjoy cricket in very small place now just feeling this all in thoughts and dreams.
