1201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: would you play more on casino when your country plans to ban BTC? on: June 23, 2023, 09:52:25 PM
The decision for what to do with the coins after crypto trading has been banned, either to gamble with it to try to get more or just withdraw and keep will be determined by my ability in gambling. Since I know that I am not a good gambler, and do not have any winning certainty, deciding to want to still go ahead to gamble means I just want to waste that money. My desire is to make more money from what I have, gambling is not the only way to achieve this, so I will withdraw the money and find other ways to multiply the money, or just decide to keep holding the Bitcoins until they increase and my country becomes less against Bitcoins.

There's no such thing as a good gambler Grin Mabe with the exception of those who engage in gambling activities only when they spot an opportunity when the advantage is on their side (but those are rare).
Gambling by definition is a way of losing money, not a way of accumulation, so the OP's question is pretty daft.
1202  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is hodling top 10 Marketcap coins a good tactic? on: June 23, 2023, 09:41:13 PM
Logically holding coins that have a large marketcap is of course safer than holding new projects, as investors of course we understand this strategy, for security of course holding top 10 rankings is a safe and profitable option, but we have to be patient and wait a long time to be able to get profit when we hold the top 10 ranking.

By that logic, isn't holding top 5 a better option than holding top 10. And top 3 better than top 5? And top 1 better than top 3?

Again, holding BTC only was so far more profitable than top 10 and that's not even including losses on rebalancing of the portfolio, which are greater when there is a lot of action/changes in the top 10.

Może i masz rację. Pisząc o luce podatkowej zasugerowałem się postem adama, kory napisał że "podatek jest tylko od wymiany na fiat" i zapomniałem że wymiana na dobra i usługi też jest zdarzeniem podatkowym.
W takim przypadku, system wydaje się być bardziej szczelny, choś i tu znajdzie się okazja do zakombinowania i zapłacenia niższego podatku niż przy akceptacji jedynie PLNów, np sprzedawznie tak żeby nie przekroczyć progu podatkowego i przenoszenie zysków na przyszła lata.

I też nie jest do końca prawdą że podatek od krypto płaci się tylko przy wymianie na fiat/dora/usługi, bo darowizny w krypto też są opodatkowane, czyli jednak dla fiskusa to niekoniecznie nic nie warte paciorki.

to zalezy w jakim kraju, w pl poki co podatek jest tylko od wymiany na fiat

Jak pisalem wczesniej, nie wydaje mi sie to prawda. Ciezko mi uwiezyc ze prowadzac np dzialanosc gospodarcza i akceptujac tylko BTC, bylbys zwolniony z obowiazku rozlicznia i placenia podatku. To by powodowalo olbrzymia luke podatkowa i akceptacja BTC pewnie przewyzszylaby PLN.

ps. czemu nie aplikujesz do zadnej kampanii (wg sygnatury takowej szukasz)? Pojawilo sie ostatnio kilka ciekawych.
1205  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: SEC vs Binance on: June 22, 2023, 04:36:57 PM

Someone on our local board posted a question on whether or not Binance will be in position to counter-sue SEC i.e. for defamation and reputational losses given SEC allegedly made a serious of accusations without any real evidence.
Anyone heard of any case where SEC got sued for something like that and lost?

I'd imagine, if that's a possibility at all, Binance would have to have all the charges officially dropped by the court first, but I'm just guessing.
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: June 22, 2023, 04:26:25 PM
I absolutely agree with you. Martingale strategy is one of the best strategies to confuse the gambler and convince him that he can use it to beat the casino.

It 100% works. You "only" need an infinite amount of money, time and a game with no bet limits  Grin

In fact, none of the strategies in the long term will not work in favor of the gambler, because mathematically the casino will always have an advantage, so learn to gamble for fun, not to win.

Not quite true. You could be hunting for opportunities when the advantage shifts to your side, e.g. large jack-pot cumulation, arbitrage betting or looking for bets with miscalculated odds. Those opportunities are not easy to come by, but they happen.

Jak można, jako państwo albo poważna instytucja (SEC), pozywać bez dowodów? Aż się prosi o kontr pozew o zniesławienie.

Nie znam sie ale chyba to ze nie bylo dowodow na "dissipation of assets" (co rozumiem jako nielegalny odplyw funduszy) nie oznacza ze nie ma dowodow na inne nieprawidlowosci.

Mysle ze ewentualne szanse na kontr-pozew beda dopiero kiedy Binance wygra w sadzie, choc nie wiem czy maja ku temu przeslanki (znieslawienie), no chyba ze SEC wprost nazwal Binance przestepcami albo cos w tym stylu.
SEC pewnie chetnie zaplaci odszkodowanie bo to i tak z kieszeni podatnika  Grin

1208  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is buying BTC now, the best option ??? on: June 22, 2023, 04:01:04 PM
The best strategy for success and getting maximum profit is to buy when it's cheap, many experts suggest to buy now before the price skyrocketed, and if we compare it with the highest price that has happened, of course the best option now is to continue to buy, the best time has come and don't ever ever forget it.

I don't think there's a single person here who doesn't know that buying cheap and selling at the top will make you profit. The real question of this thread is to predict where will the price go in the short to mid-term future. Will we see another cycle, similar to those we've seen in the past? Is it going to drop even further, or have we already seen the bottom? etc.
What makes you think now is a good time to buy, and do you buy with a lump sum, dca or have other strategy?
1209  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: June 22, 2023, 03:48:42 PM
I do it myself, but since I don't gamble too much, I don't need it because I only gamble for fun and not for the pursuit of winning. I don't need to read all the ToS of all services because I've seen several notifications sent to my email or when I log in to my account.

I find it hard to believe that you have actually read a full ToS of any gambling site, it doesn't make sense especially when you don't gamble too much. Why would you spend a chunk of your free time to read them if you only wanted to play a little bit? It does not add up.

Sure, sending notifications of any changes is a good practice, but did Stake.com actually obliged themselves (in the ToS) to send notifications of any changes? If not, you'd still have to read them everytime you log in, if you want to practice what you preach.

If you are a real gambler, you certainly don't want to get into trouble just for not reading the changes in the rules, do you?

If you're a real gambler, you'll take a gamble of not reading them  Grin
But seriously, as mentioned before, unless you're looking for a specific, nuanced information, reading ToS doesn't help much and does not guarantee you won't get in trouble, as those would almost always be worded in favour of the house, not the player. So what really protects you is either the law, or a hope that casino is genuine and will not engage in any shady practice out of a fear of losing reputation.
1210  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: June 21, 2023, 04:22:00 PM
How come it's a waste of time? It's worth doing to see if there is a change or you can also wait until there is notification from the casino about the change in the rules. Perhaps, once a month could be the time to read the rules. After all, it's for your own good rather than later regret because of a rule change.

Well, it's usually like that but we don't know what changes the casino will make. For this reason, we must try to find out for ourselves. If we have done KYC, it seems like everything will be fine, but who knows?

Do you actually do that yourself, or just decided it's a smart thing to preach to others? Do you actually dedicate a big chunk of your life to sit down and study all the ToSs of all the services that you use just to see if there have been any changes (do you run version compare in Word lol)?

Yes, reading entire ToSs is usually pointless, unless you want to learn about some specific rule that interests you, but for an average, regular user, that's not necessary and nobody does that in practice (yourself included).
1211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A hilarious video that shows so many persons ignorance about bitcoin on: June 21, 2023, 04:13:51 PM
(...) and content creators need not create a video like this, all they want are views to monetize their content, they do not reflect the knowledge of the people in one's country about Bitcoin.

You can't blame them really. If certain content generates more views, and therefore more money, there will always be someone who would try to capitalise on that. So if we want content creators to stop producing garbage content - we need to stop consuming garbage content, and either start watching something valuable, or just switch off the tv (or other device). Simple as.
1212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: June 21, 2023, 04:06:40 PM
Well, one thing I am personally sure of is that, gambling is not trading, and can never be like trading, strategies work well in trading, in such a way that if at the end, the trade did not end in profit, the trader has the liberty to investigate his or her strategy to ascertain where exactly the mistake which caused the loss came from, but in gambling, there is no known or official strategy, what most of us assume to be a gambling strategy is not a strategy in real sense, but more like an assist, for example, many gambler mistake martingale to be a gambling strategy, but in real sense, it's not a strategy but an assist, martingale can assist a gambler to win more money, but does not add a single percentage to the gambler's chances of winning the bet in the first place.

Lets not re-invent words. Strategy is a broad term and could be roughly described as plan of action. As such martingale is a gambling strategy, because you'd be betting in a specific pattern (the plan). It's also widely described as a betting strategy, so I have no clue what are trying to achieve by attempting to change well established definitions.

Also, a strategy doesn't mean something good. There are a lot of bad strategies out there, martingale being one of them, and I think everyone in this thread knows that it is unlikely to help you win more money.
1213  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2023-06-20] Barron's: Bitcoin Rises as Its Dominance Across Cryptos Grows ... on: June 21, 2023, 03:50:52 PM
I think whatever is happening at any given moment, someone is going to claim it's a bad sign.  Controversy sells.  Whatever it takes to get someone to read whatever nonsense they're writing.

Well, in the world of trading, good news for one trader can be bad for another (zero sum game), depends on what positions do they hold.
In case of the article in question, it doesn't really explain why increasing BTC dominance is bad for Bitcoin, they're making a case for altcoins if anything, or for the crypto market viewed as a whole.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: June 21, 2023, 03:33:19 PM
Everyone has his own developed strategy together with the ones he has learnt from other gamblers experience,

Not everyone. I'd risk an opinion that vast majority of gamblers do not have any strategy at all. And good strategy is based on math, relying on own or other people's experience is not needed.

the thing that we are not being sure about is the fact that we don't know what may come in after using a particular recommendation or strategy when gambling,

Again, good strategy should help you predict the expected result and reduce uncertainty as opposed to playing with no strategy.
1215  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: June 20, 2023, 05:09:00 PM
As far as I know casinos have to ask users to agree with terms and conditions once again every time they make changes on it, doesn't matter how little they are, just like banks and every other services do. Moreover, a timeframe must be presented for users to cashout their funds, if they disagree the new terms.

Exactly, it's not limited to casinos, but it goes to pretty much any online service. But that's assuming such service operates in compliance with the law, and there are plenty of casinos that operate illegally or half-legally (which is not necessarily a bad thing though).

Most victims are usually small scale gamblers who cannot do much after getting screwed over, but they can still harm the site thanks to the proof that they collected within this forum and other sites.

I think if the casino is trying to pull a scam, it would be easier to screw few big players than hundreds of small ones, as in the latter scenario, a larger group of victims would make much more noise online and the word would spread much faster.
From the legal perspective: if casino has chosen to pull up a scam, they wouldn't care about any legal action anyway. And if they operate legally and screwed people unintentionally, then you'd expect authorities to eventually step in and order them to make the players whole.

Fresh press hit from only 3h ago. You would think that Bitcoin's growing dominance is a good thing, but author disagrees (spoiler: growing BTC dominance is a sign of lower trust in the crypto market):

Bitcoin Rises as Its Dominance Across Cryptos Grows. Why It’s a Bad Sign.

https://www.barrons.com/articles/bitcoin-ethereum-price-crypto-markets-today-a65ce26

Quote
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were rising Tuesday with the dominance of the largest digital asset at historically high levels—something that may not bode well for sentiment across the crypto landscape.

The price of Bitcoin has risen more than 1% over the past 24 hours to $26,750, at the upper end of a trading range between $26,000 and $27,000 that has held since a 10-month high above $30,000 was reached in April—a level that has proved difficult to reclaim. Cryptos have continued to stagnate in range-bound trading despite key catalysts on both the regulatory and economic front.

“Short-term indicators point higher, although intermediate-term indicators point lower, so we stay short-term neutral for now,” said Katie Stockton, managing partner at technical research firm Fairlead Strategies. “A breakout, while unlikely near-term, would target second resistance … near $32,000.

I like to follow that statement. The first win gives you the thinking that you can continue repeating the first outcome of your
game, that no one can stop you from bringing more bacon to your table.

With that thinking, your engagement will increase your lust and desire to keep playing will lead you not to control yourself anymore.

Something that the casino owners would love seeing on you as you will keep bringing more money in the hope that you'll be
able to keep winning the game, but in reality, you are just bringing more money to lose.

True, brick-and-mortar casinos are not sparing money on make the experience as addictive as possible (anything from music, complimentary drinks, flashy lights etc).

As mentioned before, a lot of such problems could be mitigated if people had the knowledge of how their brains actually works. It would probably be a good idea to introduce some basic psychology or neuroscience (and how hormones such as dopamine can affect our decisions) in the public school's curriculum.

Binance własnie ogłosiło ze zamyka swoje usługi w Holandii,

Poważnie? Nic do mnie nie dotarło. To spory news. Co jest powodem? Na jakiej zasadzie takie zamknięcie wygląda? Że po prostu likwidują oddział a użytkownicy dalej mogą używać, czy będą blokować użytkowników z holandii tak, jak starają się blokować tych z USA?

Tez o tym wczesniej nie slyszalem, ale teraz czytam ze licencja o ktora sie starali zostala im odmowiona, wiec beda sie musieli wycofac z NL.
Co gorsze, czytam tez ze Francja postawila im zarzuty prania pieniedzy o wysokiej wartosci ("aggravated money laundering"):
https://coingeek.com/binance-flees-netherlands-faces-aggravated-money-laundering-probe-in-france/

I just received a piece of great news from the Yo!Mix team.
I honestly do not know how to phrase it so I am just going to quote what they've said here.
(...)
The generosity of both Coinomize and Yo!Mix team for understanding my situation and what had happened; I am forever in their debt.
The same goes for numerous members of this forum who pushed me not to give up.

Always great to see an ugly situation turning into a happy ending and congrats on settling the issue!
I think the way you dealt with this adversity actually increased your reputation on this forum, and you probably are more focussed on wallet security than before. And it's definitely a good PR for both, Yo!Mix and Coinomize teams, as they showed some empathy and understanding, which should be appreciated by their current and potential customers. Who knows, maybe the hacker will use their services himself haha
Anyhow, sounds a bit like a win-win from the reputation perspective (not necessarily from the financial one).
