1961  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto for gambling? on: July 21, 2020, 11:05:01 PM
I rarely gamble nowadays but everytime I play I use bitcoin (though most of us prefer other coins with low fees in transaction).

Then eth is my alternative however this past few days eth fees are increasing too.

But now I will use xrp.
You might want to try TRX because I heard that TRX have almost 0 fees transactions and while I am yet to understand how it works and how it is possible but it is great for anyone looking to save transaction fees or who gambles small.
But I guess it will depend on gambling site if they had widely cryptocurrency acceptance. But most commonly as what I have noticed, only Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin. This TRX is usually used if they using TRX blockchain in their system.

For me, if I dont have Dogecoin I will use my Bitcoin but I most preferred to used Dogecoins ince this is the only coin that has low fees when it comes transferring or transaction fee.
1962  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Hector Tanajara vs. Mercito Gesta on: July 21, 2020, 09:59:28 PM
I think OP probably will add a voting poll to know what this community prefers to win, it is Tanajara or Gesta?
That's I guess right, but if you don't want to bet that isn't necessary to know.

In my perspective view, Gesta would be the underdog of this match because he has already 3 losses on his previous fought.

While Tanajara is considered a legend because he never experience losses and he also considered a future star, he has done a good fought plenty of solid opposition. I have a motive that he will win on this fight not Gesta.

Who's with me?

I have always said that there is a correlation between gamblers and investors as well, not that many gamblers can see it but many investors can see that. If you are an investor you are actually risking your money, you are saying that you would rather lose that money in investment and would like to see it not happening and instead making money but you are risking it.

What is the difference between that and playing dice? Not really that much to be honest with you. That is why I think investors know that deep inside they are gamblers as well, just not playing on provably fair and instead here you are the one that is getting the house edge as the investor. If you avoid playing and losing that investment, you could make above %10 per year very easily, but people would want more because of the risks involved.
Although it's hard for me to understand what is your trying to say but at least at the end it's all about investment and the gamblers.

Yes, they had a correlated relation because as an investor you can also gamble on the gambling platform. I assume that you meant to say, you must seperate the fund on gambling and the fund of your investment. This is very crucial becaue you maybe wipe out and emptied your bankroll without knowing you if you dont have financial management.

Anyway, good to see that there are too many members here who invest Yolodice. That's a good of making profit.

My question is, do you think about what happened on this, does it affect Bitcoin? Negative or positive?
Negative, because those crypto enthusiasts know that this is the fault of Twitter itself and that is why many people who have a victim at that time. Besides those victims of scammers for sure are naive and greedy people. They just hope their money gets doubled in just a couple of minute. Right? The real crypto enthusiasts will smell shady activity like this, even if they follow a high profile account.

Vast of majority members choice here is SWC poker and if you will check in the gambling section there are few members there conducting tournament on that gambling platform and I guess that is enough proof of which poker room you will choose to play.

You can check the provable fairness on the site itself and this are often in most online gambling casinos, that is supposedly given before you will sit in the virtual table and you can easily verify the give client seed and the hashes which is transparently seen and verified during the game. I guess this SWC poker is good for you.

1966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how big? on: July 17, 2020, 05:49:38 PM
I am expecting the online gambling to grow too because of what is happening in the world, shops are closed due to the pandemic and so are the casinos, now if people want to gamble they probably be searching the alternative for it and so they'll find the online gambling which is more convenient than physical ones. Online gambling is a multi-million industry, just look how much a single online casino costs and wagered every day, house always win! The only issue with online gambling is the fairness of the game, well for some casino it is tested and proven, how about the new ones?
That is right, the number of users in gambling was increased amid COVID19 pandemic because of the reason people should stay at home, gambling is one of their ways to break boredom during self-quarantine.

This is expected that also the number of losses fund has been increased, and the revenue of the gambling industry was also increased. It's million of dollars has been recorded and I guess from a small amount that has been lost it will a huge amount all in all.

However, always bear in mind that gambling isn't a form of source income, this is just only a form of entertainment. Give prior to your families and next to that is gambling.

In every type of investments there’s always a risk, investing in crypto is no difference consider it a double risk if you fail to understand where your putting your money is. As much as possible investors should learn how to diversify portfolio and not only focus on few investments.
Because that was how to work investment is a high risk you getting involved the chances also that you maybe get high profit.

But before you will achieve that profit, you will hardly be doing research first before anything else because not all projects that give potential profit especially nowadays, we are prone to scam but only naive and lazy people will surely encounter this matter.

It will lead your investments in the wrong way if you didn't have basic research even if it starts with the project documents like whitepaper and roadmap.
1968  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers favorite tools on: July 17, 2020, 05:00:39 PM
Exchange coins is the most popular IMO.
The most common indicator of scammers are the unrealistic ROI's or a bit higher than what's considered as normal/standard rate of returns. Since this will catch the attention of the naive investors.
Also, I don't easily believed in cryptocurrency backed by gold.
That's it, naive investors. Because they are quickly diving to invest without further investigations just because they believed on the hype that the vast of those who in hype were fake and just want pump and dump method of increasing the price. But I'm not totally disappointed if there's project that keeps coming, we should have to dig on research before putting our money as an investment.

I have doubt that once there is a scammed project and then suddenly disappeared, then, it will be expected they will come back with a new name that we can't able to determine. I have a friend who told me this before, just because of money they easily fool people.
1969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jeff Horn vs. Tim Tszyu on: July 17, 2020, 02:27:32 PM
This match will be interesting to watch and for sure many bettors will choose the veterans.

They are the same country and it looks like bettors will definitely have difficulties choosing which one will win this fight. But for me, I will choose the older one, Jeff Horn. He is very strong looking and I guess he will beat Tszyu at this time, but who knows let us wait and watch this event.

Here is their comparison, and Jeff is 6 years older than Tszyu.
1970  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the twitter scam crash the price on: July 17, 2020, 01:45:30 PM
Did it really crashed the price yet? no effect yet as what I can see and I don't think it will crash soon.
Yes, there is. But I think there is a slight effect on the market price but there is a strong resistance as I can see now.

Bitcoin dominance is really unpredictable and I don't see if there is any correlated the price movement in the market. Despite the massive Twitter scam's high profile account, the price was resisted. Even during the pandemic, the bitcoin price didn't shake too much we have seen improvement even though there are panic sellers and the money that collected in Twitter scams was only small amount that not to worry.

In the services section there are some who offer free bitcoin transaction acceleration for free does anyone try it and actually work?
I guess that the reason why posted this thread and asking if bitcoin accelerator will actually work.
It will work sometimes but not consistently, bitcoin accelerators did have control to make faster the transaction of bitcoin to be confirmed.

There's no problem if you will pay the higher amount, not just the recommended one or you will modify the fee into the smallest unit of bitcoin.

Be careful newbie on this accelerating bitcoin transaction, I have read so many times that there are cases of hacked issues due to free service of bitcoin accelerator.
1972  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Abra CEO and founder Bill Barhydt now sees Bitcoin as a store of value. on: July 16, 2020, 11:07:31 PM
Having initially been quite sceptical Bill Barhydt has now come out and proclaimed that he agrees on Bitcoin being a store of value by stating that "today Bitcoin is best used as a store of value that will become more and more uncorrelated to traditional investing markets over time".

As more people start to view Bitcoin as a store of value this could arguably gain popularity with the general public and, dare I say it, even boomers.
It's good if you also indicate the source of link where did you get this information and I think you are referring to this recent post of the telegraph. https://cointelegraph.com/news/abra-ceo-agrees-with-bitcoin-s-role-as-digital-gold

This is good news either, even though we had recently bad news regarding Twitter hacking that might lite give discredit to bitcoin reputation and for sure newly investors I guess will misinterpret this what happened now. I hope this will bring into masses and will boom bitcoin by next month. If we will check the market, the bitcoin dominance has been dropped for a while but now we have seen a small resistance.
1973  Other / Meta / Re: When their topic is moved to Off-topic on: July 16, 2020, 10:34:00 PM
This is my gues. Cheesy

-Because the off-topic board belongs to the not counted post count to those members who wear signature paid.

-They are lack of interest due to the topic is off-topic.

-The off-topic board is full of spam they dont, no one will visit there.

Just my assumption and my opinion! my two cents.
1974  Other / Off-topic / Re: How the latest twitter hack might be explained by past history on: July 16, 2020, 10:20:54 PM
That has been the issue for years now, a lot of companies are storing user passwords in plain texts. That’s the reason why it’s good to use different passwords for each website you’re signing up for, that way you wouldn’t have to worry much. When one website is hacked and your password compromised, you wouldn’t have to worry too much about it because you know for sure that those hackers won’t be able to access other websites you have created an account on.
But the story of Twitter hacked last day is not all about the password guessing. It is through their support and they called it social engineering attack and theymos explained it very well on this post.

Quote
Twitter called it a "social engineering attack", which makes me think that it was something simple like: the attacker called Twitter support, said, "Hey, it's <Elon Musk / Bill Gates / etc.>. Wouldn't you know it, I lost my 2FA device and my password. Could you help me?" And then the Twitter support person was like, "Sure, just give me your birthday for verification and I'll have this fixed right away, sorry for the inconvenience!"

So hacker didn't targeted the low profile twitter account of random people. Hacker chooses those high profile accounts to lure people to deposit bitcoin and hoping it will double in just 30 minutes as what the tweet said.
1975  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we going to see another PANIC on: July 16, 2020, 09:32:16 PM
I recommend using trading bots for trading on cryptocurrency exchanges, since it is almost impossible to predict the BTC rate.
If only it were as simple as you say. Trading bots do not always bring you profit. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
You are correct, many individuals thought the bot to be some good god for hunting the cryptocurrency trading platforms, this doesn't give anyone any assurance of making profits but it's likely to make anyone lost in some cases. Doing your own trading will be better than using the programmable bots to trade. Trade yourself and don't use bot to trade for profits, this is unrealistic sometimes.
Call me unrealistic but I still prefer using a trading bot. But of course, I won't rely on my trading activity on trading bot only.
A trading bot is good if you know how to set up the stop-loss strategy and most especially placing your order without monitoring the market, a trading bot would be helpful in this way.

Speaking of the panic sellers, we can't blame them if they will easily get panic selling. One thing for sure, they will regret when they'd panic and sell bitcoin at a lower price they purchase.
1976  Economy / Economics / Re: Do Not Pray for an Economic Crisis! on: July 16, 2020, 08:55:23 PM
Before Covid-19 the crypto market space was only focused on Bitcoin’s price action after the halving event not until the unexpected global crisis came. Fortunately the crypto market shows signs of courage although its also affected during the first month of crisis but investors should always keep an eye on the market because the global threat is still around, markets could still crash at any moment thats why we must be prepared at all times.
That's right because the market proved that there is no correlation between the Covid-19 cases and the crypto market price, we have seen an increased of price despite of the pandemic.

There was still adoption of bitcoin into masses because of the feature of cryptocurrency that can able to save while you can also use it as a payment method especially for the contactless payment to follow Covid-19 protocols.

But I disagree if you invested bitcoin just to have food in the table, it does not work like that. You need to wait the perfect time before you will see your profit was there. Or invest only you can afford or the amount that you are willing to set aside.
1977  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you use a trading Bot? on: July 16, 2020, 08:24:25 PM
I don't want to say trading bot is bad to use, but I choose not to use it. Because in my opinion manual trading is still the best for me.
To be honest, I have no luck with trading bots, I've tried various trading bots, ranging from free to paid. In the end it always fails if
used for long term, I even lost all of my capital because I used a trading bot. So I have a conclusion trading bot is not for me.
That was an unfortunate conclusion because if you are going to ask me, a trading bot is good especially when you aren't watching or monitoring the market. But if you don't know how to set up this, that's your problem and I may advise not to use trading bot if you are completely newbie in trading.

But that is a big mistake if you will use free trading bot, that sevice cant performs perfectly in trading. It is better to manual trading than use the free service of trading bot.
1978  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [DISCUSSION] Flagging Bitcoin addresses on: July 16, 2020, 08:04:26 PM
According to the Chainalysis twitter account (one of the bitcoin transaction investigator service), the fund that collected by the hackers have not yet converted the bitcoin or not yet on the exchange. And I think they are collaborating all exchange platforms regarding this to labeled the bitcoin addresses that linked in scam address. I guess it would be better if also bitcoin mixer service would collaborate this.

At least the scammer will get hard to convert the bitcoin collected into cash right now. There are too many bitcoin transaction investigators who keep their eye on the bitcoin scammed.

What makes me wonder though, why didn´t the hackers use Craig Wrights account to promote the scam? Would fit imho haha
Lol.
I don't know if there was who believed since the followers of Craig Wrights was also his side, hackers I guess maybe have slim of chances to convince people since CW is the founder of BSV, unless, if the tweet says, send BSV and we will double the amount you've sent.  Cheesy Cheesy

The most I worried is social media news they put negative side on bitcoin, I guess there will be an effect to the new bitcoin invetors to have a fear in investing bitcoin. But let's do hope that will might not happen.
1980  Other / Off-topic / Re: Twitter hackers are So low IQ. - Many Twitter Account Hacked on: July 16, 2020, 07:10:27 PM
I'm shocked that I'm late from this news and then when I was looking on google it seem this hacked event was so hot issue now.

Well from what I read on another source, it appears they were able to make away with some funds, I think some people actually send some btc over to the address they provided to get it double, I only read it, not sure if it is authentic or not, however, am still in shock how they manage to hack so many accounts of top people the way they did, am still processing the whole scenario.
That is doubling attempt of your bitcoin and they never return the bitcoin they collected. I had read that not all bitcoin they collected is from the followers of the victim. I read on the twitter account of bitcoin transaction investigation service from Chainalysis that hackers also used their bitcoin to lure more people to join the scam event.

Through the high-profile users they hacked the convinced people to join and fall into their trap. Sorry for their loss but there's no way to recover their fund and might they all regret about this.
