1041  Economy / Economics / Re: Effects of Cryptocurrency Adoption on: May 27, 2023, 08:49:59 PM
The impact of the country's crypto adoption can be overwhelmingly positive. As the increase in finance offers financial opportunities to individuals who do not have a bank account, Or like reducing transaction fees, especially for cross-border transactions. In particular, privacy and security give individuals greater control over their financial transactions and protect them from identity theft or fraud. While there are good sides, there are challenges and risks involved, such as concerns about crime, money laundering, and the environment.
Every policy certainly has a good impact and a bad impact. cryptocurrency adoption can be a good choice with all the advantages and convenience, as well as speed. moreover, we as modern people will certainly greatly help our daily activities which are increasingly busy. however, there are indeed some weaknesses that are of concern, where there are many cases of drug transactions, up to money laundering, and if the legal rules are not clear, then if there is theft, it will be difficult to resolve it through legal means, in other words, the risk is borne by each
We are talkin about adoption here and the first impression that comes to our mind is positive effects because it's where people will invest in a crypto. They will HODL and and the cryptos value will rise. If there are negatives I think that is when the crypto investors loses their money. If you are a bank or a government, maybe you will feel negative about the crypto adoption.

This is where a banning can happen. The main benefits of cryptos are for payments but people hardly seen it. Almost each of them only sees crypto like an asset. Criminals using BTC is not a weakness of BTC. Even on a regular currency, it does happen too. There are now regulations being put in place to help reduce them, if totally stopping them is not possible.

I am not sure if there are many sites that has this feature but I do know one which is a very reputed gambling site.
BC.GAME has an internal swap called as BC Cwap which lets users swap their coins for other coins.
Are they allowed to do that? I thought their licensing firms don't allow them to have things like that. I remember maybe a month or so ago, a casino was facing issues because their license was expired and they were providing some kind of trading opportunity on their platform for their gamblers, and it was being discussed on the forum.

Casinos need to stay with what they are supposed to offer and don't go out of context because that can obviously be an issue for them in the long run, it is not really worth getting your business closed only to get a little more profit.
1043  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About football betting on: May 27, 2023, 10:08:03 AM
and with the bookmakers already making it easier with the odds, you could go and pick the lesser odds as those teams are the ones with the more likely chance to a win the match but the funny thing is that these bookmakers actually get these odds all wrong sometimes and mislead gambler to choosing the wrong teams.
About football betting, odds are not really criteria to focus on, many bettors know this and they don't rely on only odd, odds can deceive you. Bettors look at head to head performance, players involved in the match, team injury and fitness, zeal to win and nature of future matches ahead. I have bet a high odd game (in the number of tens) and it was successful against a very low odd of 1.45 odd and after that experience I began to understand that bookmakers may be wrong. So small odds are not likely having winning chance, you have to under study both teams to know the stronger and favourable to win.
Bookmakers are not wrong since they decide the odds based on previous stats and current team status and performances, they don't look at things that you've mentioned only to decide the odds of a particular match because these things don't always work, stats speak better for which team has more chances of winning, now chances don't determine the actual outcome at the end.

There are a lot of sports bettors who bet on the team or player that has lower chances of winning and the bookmaker has set higher odds for such teams or players, and sometimes, the bet works out and you win that match to get maybe 10x of your bet, but it isn't something that happens all the time.
1044  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: May 26, 2023, 09:29:25 PM
What happens is that these are very delicate accusations, one could speculate about some casinos that could cheat, but boy is it very difficult , in my case I know that the casino that is declared to be cheating here in the forum is 1xbit,and That has been declared, there are many tests and the casino does not really take into account what many have told them so that they do not continue in these illegal activities of obtaining money in exchange for taking it from others, we also have to remember that it is valid that bcasinios always They will have the home Advantage, and the Additional advantage of each Game, since these things are what every Player must Fight for.
It's not difficult as long as we can provide a solid proof. A casino can cheat through their games but we can always verify the results. I think almost casino has this feature now. We can contact their customer support first before posting a thread here but we must take a screenshot because they can delete the conversation or block your account if they are guilty.

There are so many casinos now and there are so many of them are scam but here in the forum 1xbit is the biggest and the most popular. It's only unfortunate to see that 1xbit still continues their operation so there are still people outside the forum who can get victimized but it's also their fault for not doing their research.
1045  Economy / Economics / Re: Success in finance and investment is a journey of finding your true self on: May 26, 2023, 08:33:10 PM
Absolutely true.  The reward that comes with offering a value pays greatest. Human value in form of intelligence on any subject that others find hard to understand or need help getting around, makes one always have a source of finance either as gifts or contracts or any form worth that is deemed valuable.
Discovering oneself is having known what is good or not good to the body, health, spirit and soul. Having mastered oneself, opportunities and alignment will happen.
We can earn through our intelligence if we use it properly like offering a mentoring program. It's where we teach others in exchange for some cash. We can also use our own knowledge directly in earning opportunities like Trading, Investing or even by Playing a Gambling but only the skill-based ones like Poker and Sports betting.

I already saw a player who got successful on them. I believe that nothing is hard for someone who is willing to learn a certain thing. It's normal that some are slow on grasping things. Discovering or finding ones self happens to each of us. Some are lucky to start great and this continues till the end while some are unfortunate to start bad but this can change later own.
1046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Father Rejects Son's Gambling Win on: May 26, 2023, 08:19:24 PM
I am not sure about this story. There are too many loose ends. First of all, if the boy is minor then he can't receive the winnings. He is under 18 years of age and that is against the terms and conditions (he claims to be 19-years old, but that is debatable). In such case, the game will be declared as invalid and the winning will be nullified. So even if his father accepts the win, they are not going to get anything. And secondly, is it even possible to have a 100,000x bet? I have seen bets up to 1,000x, but anything more than that exists only in folklore.
And the picture looks fake too, or maybe it was not the actual pic of the characters in the story? The age of the boy is not mentioned but if it's true that he is under age. It will still depend on the gambling company because some might allow minor and not all countries has the same legal age.

In crypto or online gambling, people on any age are mostly free to gamble. Maybe this is where the boy gamble? Like it or not, the money is already received by the boy and he already tell his father about it but the response that he got is not really pleasant. A 100k multiplier is possible. There is even 1 million or more multiplier. I think you are still a newbie in gambling to not know it.
1047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: May 26, 2023, 07:08:49 PM
the bookmaker said https://www.betfair.it/sport/football/uefa-europa-league/siviglia-roma/32363138
 Siviglia 2.5
 draft  2.9
 Roma 2.8


they think win the spanish team insteed Jose Team
obviously anything can happen it's still a final and the teams that have arrived here are strong

I still remember that Sevilla beat Juventus
it's a final that will be very, very difficult to predict. Odds issued by the dealer are very reasonable.
Sevilla's victory over Juventus was very close, and it was also a fierce semifinal.

AS Roma should be watched out for, Jose Maurinho is a coach who is very experienced in playing in European finals.

I plan to choose to bet on Rome or a draw, I'm considering it.
Due to odds things are looking not easy to predict who is going to win with Bookies are giving slightly edge to Sevilla because of their rich history in Europa Cup but right now from here Roma can also steal the show because their unit is also working good and have ability to win this title after winning Conference Cup in last season right now mostly talking about José Mourinho strategy because mostly he loves to play defensibly but now how things will work for him against Sevilla it's not sure with most chances if he will go with aggressive approach then surely he can take better result and from here I will also go for the Draw/Roma because I am feeling confident about them into this final for the win.
1048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 26, 2023, 05:56:52 PM
If it's just to get to the Champions League final, actually it won't make Pep Guardiola so proud. But the thing that will make Pep Guardiola very proud of Manchester City this season is if Manchester City are able to win a trophy in the Champions League and also two trophies in the Premier League where one of them has been obtained and there is only one more that Manchester City will really try to do this season. Namely the FA Cup trophy so that this will really make Pep Guardiola proud because he was able to win three trophies at once this season.
Pep Guardiola is already one of the legendary coaches in UEFA history with his amazing record as he won 6 trophies in one season with Barcelona, and now they are going to complete double if they won against Inter in Champions League and if they won against Manchester United in The FA Cup then surely this could be treble and then many more chances against for them in coming months because before next season we will have Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup mean now we can talk about can he repeat his record again or just having few trophies with Manchester City can be done for him.

If we are able to check his history, he already achieved many milestones as coach and still capable of doing many things in near future here or with any new club because energy and skills are both favoring his bright future like his amazing past.
1049  Economy / Economics / Re: Will inflation in the world grow by 2023? on: May 25, 2023, 07:29:03 PM
Based on what you mentioned, it seems like inflation might go beyond predicted percentages, leading to economic instability worldwide. While there haven't been official statements from banks yet, the trends show that inflation is on the rise along with the annual bank rates. With high inflation levels globally, we should expect price hikes and market instability. However, the exact impact on the global economy is uncertain. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the situation and seek advice from economic experts to stay informed.
The experts may know more about the economy than we do, but their predictive abilities are no better than the average person, because they do not have the insider information that politicians have and because they are unable to think outside the box as we routinely do.

So keep your eyes open and protect yourself, maybe inflation does not go up anymore and it finally gets under control by the governments, but what if that does not happen? If you fail to take those preemptive measures now then by the time you do so, it will be too late already.
If they know more about the economy then they can predict better than us when it comes to these matters because they can use certain information. Politicians might influence the inflation so there is no need for them to have an insider information. Inflation is not a joke so yeah we need to be observant and see if it's coming already or not but it's always better if we can prepare early for it.

There are times where the inflation rates are stable but there are also times it isn't. Governments can control it sometimes but there are also the ones who can worsen it. Anyway let's hope 2023 will be a good year for now because the past years seems a tragic one.
1050  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Promising altcoins? on: May 25, 2023, 06:51:23 PM
it's best to only choose ETH and BNB because so far these two altcoins are the most worth investing in. I was hesitant to choose XRP because this altcoin is getting dimmer and I don't think it's worth a long term investment. it can be seen that most of the new projects prefer the ETH or BNB network and it is very rare that there are new projects on the XRP network.
There are so many promising altcoins actually not just these two but fine if you are more confident about them. I think what matters the most when it comes to investing is confidence. There are no perfect in this world and sometimes those who already pick a promising coin can still fail so we must not discourage if we experience the same thing.

When it comes to XRP, don't worry you are not alone with that impression but a lot of the users here are also skeptical about this coins future. It's normal that you won't see any projects created under XRP because the coin does not have the same capabilities as ETH and BNB but even if it does have it many people are still hesitant to engage on it.
1051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: increased Youtube Gambling ads? on: May 25, 2023, 03:20:14 PM
You have two choice use Brave or pay to have an ad-free experience, and expect casinos to spend thousands of dollars from their advertising, the competition is very stiff, and Youtube is one platform where you n find a lot of gamblers who like or have been watching videos about gambling and they are pouring their ads to these users.
Brave works great mobile to block any kinds of ads. If you are a pc user you can still use a chrome. Just install ad blocker plus (like I did) and you will now have a great browsing experience. There is no need to pay for youtube premium for this. That is only a waste of money and we can be able to use that money in gambling or investing.

Marketing is very important on a business so yeah, a company won't matter spending tons of money only to gain a wider audience. Youtube is popular and all sorts of videos are on this platform already. Gamblers can watch gambling videos here so gambling companies see this as a good platform to run advertisements.

What a match it is. how LSG lost to MI by 81 runs. such a result was not expected at all. LSG have been considered a good team in IPL but they lost all their wickets for 101 runs and lost to Mi by a huge margin on this match. I was really disappointed by this match. many of me here supported LSG and bet for him but in all cases LSG surprised everyone today.
Akash Madhwal is the find of the season for Mumbai Indians and another wonderful spell of bowling in a crucial match and Mumbai Indians are back in form as usual like the other seasons during the final stages of the IPL and it looks like we will be seeing another final between Mumbai and Chennai and Chennai lifting another trophy  Wink.
Akash Madhwal having day of his life as his performance give his team place into qualifier 2 which is surely great achievement now after today's performance I am surely they will win against Gujrat, and we will have one of the best final in this season with most chances Dhoni is going to retire from IPL, and he will try to end his career on high note after having early place into grand final.

But, this all is just prediction which is not going to fill until we have next game on ground between Gujrat vs Mumbai now both are having equal chance and on match day performance could be vital for any team but after watching today Mumbai now I am going to support them for the final spot to bat and bowl both are doing good now just need some good performance from top order.
1053  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: May 24, 2023, 08:31:31 PM
How many times have you successfully invited some gamblers to online casino? What is your experience doing so? I know many will find this hard to believe but I kinda prefer bringing in gamblers than investors into crypto, why? They understood the risk already, there is no talk and talk over again, there is no dealing with someone fear and confidence..
I don't bring them but they are registered through the referral link from the signature campaign that I use on my bitcointalk profile, I know that maybe they understand more about the risks of losing playing gambling than trading crypto, but actually I am more interested in getting people to trade crypto and invest there because they have nothing to lose but value and have always considered bitcoin investing much safer in the long term.

Gambling will always spend money on people who can never control how they play, sometimes we can't help and stop those who follow me, but to be honest I never had the desire to invite anyone to play gambling be it friends or family because it's better to invite they invest in bitcoin or crypto is quite promising.  Wink
Cool, so it's possible to modify the link in the signature campaign that we have joined? Or maybe it only depends on the campaign and some campaigns won't let you do that because you are already being paid by the owner. We can still use our personal text and then the empty fields in our bitcointalk profile like for example "other contact info".

Those who play gambling knows that trading is also risky but gambling is different from it because you can have fun in it while at the same time make money if you get lucky. Trading is more like a serious business and your goal here is only to make money. It is also hard to learn and master it. I also don't like to invite people, be it in gambling or trading because I am afraid to be blamed in case massive losses and addiction will occur on them.
1054  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲 CryptoGamble.tips 🎰 | Where Crypto meets Gambling | Guides, Reviews & Slots on: May 23, 2023, 08:10:02 PM
The new outfit of the casino site is very good. Almost all the casinos in the forum are there and each casino has their own bonus to give out, that is well arrangement. I am very amused of the trust score of Trustdice. I really like the way you analyze the casinos without biasness. I saw everything there is all right. Keep it up.
So, this was not their first design? I don't know if what is their previous design but I like the current one. Yes, I can see familiar sites there but as usual there are those sites that are not promoted in the forum. Are these gambling sites contented with the review sites? Or maybe the promotion fee there is only cheap. They don't know that creating announcement thread in the forum is free.

It can help them already even without having a signature or bounty campaign. It is great that they are not bias when it comes to reviews not unlike to most review sites out there where an unknown and shady casino is rated with a 5 star. This is automatically a red flag for me.
1055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ridiculous Bets that disappointed you on: May 23, 2023, 07:42:39 PM
Always have this bet every time I play the crash game, the moment I increase my multiplier expect for the rocket to crash right away, looks like my luck is not with this game. Had a lot of bad bets as well but I just can't remember the most ridiculous once since I always on a budget bet, I probably have one but that is not a big amount. Big bets always put me on a higher risk and the house knows it, they'll take my money easily.
Mine was with sport bettings, i noticed that whenever am playing, i would have select and set all the games and everything being intact, but just before i submit abd print the slip, i will thought about an urgent opportunity in making an adjustment on the ones I've set already or making an additional games to the ones selected already, at the end of it all, i will loose the entire bet just because of a single additional efforts made or added.
How many times it happened? if you noticed this one or two times, you should refrain from doing it. The act that you did there only shows that you are not sure about the bets you are placing. You need to be more familiar about the game and teams that are playing before engaging in betting or better if you just play casino games since there is no knowledge involved here. There is no need for you to pressure your self.

@Johnyz what I know is that crash is an online multiplayer game. There are other bettors on the same game you are playing so don't think that you are the only ones who are unlucky. It's just that high multipliers are hard to catch not only in this game but in all of the casino games.
1056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Politicians behind the development of gambling platform on: May 23, 2023, 06:23:30 PM
Most politicians are originally a businessman so they have enough wealth to be able to join the political parliament but only certain people know what business they are running.
When it comes to the gambling business, politicians usually use methods such as joining the business as investors or paying someone else as their right hand to make them responsible for the casino business that operates so that they can be free from the gambling business which in some countries is still considered illegal.
But there are also gambling businessmen who deliberately become politicians to be able to get security in their gambling business because they also indirectly have power in the government parliament.
I think not all of them but some just focus on their new task. This alone can already give them a good salary so why not look for more? It can only gave them a stress and they won't have enough free time anymore for their selves or their family. For those politicians who have a business, the public knows their business because they promote it at the same time when doing campaigns.

It also gives them a free exposure when they promote their business alone. There is no point of hiding the business as long as it was legal but some politicians are involved in a drug trading business but no matter how hard they hide it, it is still being discovered by the public.

Often noticing meme coin headlines, people want quick money and meme coin description claims it can give you 50x or 100x return in a short period of time. But can anyone give me a guarantee then I will invest all my money.Those who like to take risk in investment the are can invest in memecoin.To me they are very risky, so I will never do risky investment.Everyone is just speculating on meme coin and seems to exist to make money.  I think meme coin should not be one's investment base, because it is risky.
Recently yes but right now, I think the hype have died again. It's no surprise for a meme coin but maybe they can return again soon, preferably after a bull run. No meme projects or even the legit ones can you give you guarantees. If so then making money has never been this easy. Meme coins are risky but what about the other crypto? All has risk actually although some of them are not that bad as the meme coins.

Meme coins are for speculations but aren't all cryptos are like this as well? This is why they are called as speculative asset. Almost everyone are here for the money except only for Satoshi Nakamoto which aim is to help people to have freedom.
1058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake 93% to reach platinum 3 i need strategy on: May 22, 2023, 06:19:45 PM
Each casino will provide different requirements to be able to have an account with a higher VIP rank.
If the casino you use imposes wagering requirements for what you want good dice conditions or strategy for craps games, this has nothing to do with increasing VIP rank.
If you want to increase your percentage on VIP rank faster then try to bet on sports betting as almost all casinos with wagering requirements for VIP rank will increase your percentage faster when betting on sports than on a game.

But before that please answer what exactly is the intent of this thread, at least provide a bit more clarity and purpose in detail.
That's true. I once heard that a deposit amount can help contribute to a VIP rank. This seems easy because players can just withdraw and redeposit after a few rolls but I never knew that other gambling sites also have a better VIP rate if you bet on sports. I thought only the casino where I play have it.

My first impression with it is to promote their sports betting since it was still new while the purpose of this thread is clearly for the OP to level up his VIP rank faster and more efficiently. He has 93 percent to go. That was long and it will need lots of money even if he bet most of the times in sports but if he can get lucky to win a raffle or something which allows him to have more money on hand, that will surely help.
1059  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the difference between banks and big whales in crypto? on: May 22, 2023, 04:23:15 PM
I think the difference between banks and crypto whales is that banks are usually corporate organizations that even have their own government behind them to help them, so in times of crisis, the government can help them a bit. Crypto whales are usually individuals who hold a large amount of cryptocurrency and do not share it with other individuals or organizations.

In addition, in terms of profits, banks have to distribute profits to shareholders according to the proposed discussion; besides, whoever holds more shares will get more profits. As for the crypto whales, they will make a profit for themselves. Whether they lose or gain, they will bear it on their own and not share it with anyone else.
Whale are often seen as individual. Maybe most of them but there might be whale which has a lot of connection and they might have an organization to make their activities more successful. There are many people who use banks up until now so I think banks earn more profit than in whales but the only problem is their profit is divided on different people.

Other than share holders banks also need to pay their workers and pay the expenses to operate the bank. Banks are useful but whales? I think they aren't totally. They mostly think about themselves, manipulating the market recklessly and those who do business here are badly affected.
1060  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Only 89 days left for Litecoin Halving event! on: May 21, 2023, 09:18:02 PM
Not sure if we are or we can expect big impact for litecoin this coming halving as the last one is kinda failure and yes did not contribute to what people are expecting .

Litecoin is indeed a former ranking 3rd currency and stays there for a while , but after what had happened in change of hads?  not sure if there is something best we can look at.
but for those who are holding litecoin or planning to invest?
try not to frustrate yourself  once the movement goes sideways, be ready to what will bring you .
This halving might be different from the past so let's not be negative for a while but try to be positive especially if you are investing in litecoin. See other old coins like solana? They are not doing well in the past but they only shock the public one day because their price suddenly burst. The same thing can also happen to litecoin.

What do you mean by change hands? Did the original developer of litecoin sell his project to other people? But maybe this new owner can improve the coin better than its previous team. Frustration should not be experienced before we invest and much more if we already have the coin as it can't contribute anything good to us.
