Freebitcoin's goodness doesn't just come from the options, I know it has like lottery and rewards and contests and so forth and it even gives out free bitcoin to everyone but at the same time they have 5% house edge. I know that is a lot for you if you want to play when there are very trustworthy places for 1% house edge but as an affiliate networker you will be getting much more from your affiliates as well because the house edge is literally 5 times more than most other places.

You can totally just focus on this place and instead of calling up 2-3-4 people to any other casino you can invite 1 person to freebitcoin and have bigger impact on your earnings. That is why they are so unique, they literally give away money but at the same time have a high house edge so keeps everyone happy.

Their horrible design. I know there are many more important stuff out there but I feel like the most eye catching thing is the design, there are many exchanges at the top spots that have horrible designs and I can't believe these multi-million dollar earning companies can't hire a designer that can make these websites look much better.

I have seen smaller companies even unfunded ICO's that have better designs than Binance and Bitmex have for example, they hired people that probably got paid couple thousand dollars at most and they made better designs than the companies who can spend over a million dollars on design. I don't know why and I know it doesn't really worth consideration for them since they are all bad but I feel like even a small exchange with great design could challenge them just because of the great design.
63  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't let the holiday catch you - if you are a day trader. on: April 24, 2019, 04:18:27 PM
I think it is not the day traders that are not trading during holidays, its the other people who do not care about trading as much as they care about vacation that stops.

Day trader is trading daily like in the name and since we are in crypto there is no national holiday for us and everyday even including new years that we celebrate as a whole world is still trading moments, you can buy something a second to go in one year and sell it after a second in new year and the exchanges will be open so any smart day trader will be always online.

I have done it before and I have checked the prices even while on vacation in some country and did some moves because I knew that price movements can't be none observed for too long or it could seriously hurt your profits.

https://ciphertrace.com/response-to-fatf-on-vasp-regulation/

Came across this response to FATF regulations by Ciphertrace how there is no identifying information other than the public cryptographic key of the address that controls these funds. That is a ton of money to just be locked out and unregulated. thoughts?
I believe that the funds was locked out by an individual or a government, so I don't think it's our business what one does with their money since it's on the blockchain, maybe it is an act of money laundering, but who cares, I believe we have the blockchain for anonymity and this person or body wants their funds to be anonymous.

I think we should talk about better things happening in the crypto space then monitoring people funds, it is even very possible that the coins are owned by miners who have been mining for years without spending their funds.
65  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin one of the most shady coin? on: April 24, 2019, 07:06:04 AM
I don't think it's only bitcoin that has a premine as much as that, some other coins even have more premine that bitcoin has, the only difference is that those coins haven't grew in price to the height which bitcoin is currently and might not get to that height even in years to come.

Hence, I don't see any reason why anyone will say bitcoin is shady, satoshi created a platform that has made a lot of persons millionaires and still making much more millionaires, so I don't see any reason why he shouldn't get a reward of 1 million bitcoins.
66  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Getting by the day on: April 23, 2019, 08:16:12 PM
I think it was a long long period of recovery for bitcoin but the difference was compared to previous times we went down this time corporations actually invested money into stuff that would really help us get up quicker. For example when bitcon was going down back in the day it was called "doom of bitcoin" or "bitcoin is a failed project" and all that but now companies like BAKKT is getting millions of dollars in investments and even small time games like cryptokitties got like 15 million dollars in investment.

That is why I think this "drop" we had in 2018 was not as bad as the ones we used to have but it is certainly a better thanks to corporations actually believing the project and putting their money in the system thinking it will go back up and eventually it did went back up of course.
67  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto Winter is Over - Spring has Come on: April 23, 2019, 06:11:46 PM
The scary part is we have been going up for a long time now and there hasn't been a big correction or so, normally when the price of bitcoin goes up a lot there is a mean drop to show the correction and than it continues back up. Sort of like it should have gone from 3 to 5 to 4 to 6, like a bit high than a bit low and bit higher and so forth.

Without that I know we are in good position right now but at the same time I a bit scared how hard that will be, maybe since we didn't had any that means we are fine and it will not happen but maybe since we didn't had any it will instead happen a lot faster and a lot further down? Since we don't know which of those it will be we are just stuck with this price not knowing what to do or even what to expect neither really.

Didn't realize it was owned by Calvin Ayre, do you guys know who he is exactly? He is the guy with the idea behind Bitcoin SV.

From what I understand he is very rich and sometimes a little crazy. Either way since its owned by him its most likely not an outright scam, since I doubt he would put his reputation on the line by stealing deposits from his site. Also it has a great domain name and the domain name itself can be worth millions.

I am surprised he hasn't marketed the site some way, at least posting it on the Bitcointalk Gambling ANN. Maybe he is waiting for more Crypto adoption.
Would you mind on where you do get such source?Any links?I cant able to search it out. If thats the case the theres no point that he would really risk up his reputation on this one.

All it takes is a simple Google search for "Calvin Ayre net worth" and you can see that he has an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion.

He got rich because he ran a poker site called Bodog. If you want more info about him just go to his wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Ayre

And you can see that he has been involved in many shady things. He got a bad rap recently because he is believed to have sold massive amounts of BTC to fund pools for his BSV coin.  
Yeah Calvin was the minds behind that Craig Wright fiasco, dude literally funded Craig to be a crazy person and just became the mind of the operation while Craig was the face of the operation. The real question is what does he have out of this ? I mean he could very well be a person that is just so stupid that he just made money thanks to early gambling rush to online casinos and now he is doing something wrong and it will not help him out.

Moreover, from the off chance that he is actually smart and if he is working towards doing something this BSV delisting thing and all hurt his economy a lot too. That is why I think he could be very dangerous and this website could be a way of just getting many customers and stealing all their money as a "payback" for whats been done to his BSV coin.
69  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top sport betting Site that pays in bitcoin on: April 23, 2019, 03:15:47 PM
I love it whenever peep shows up on sports betting and literally shows objectively which place is better and which place is worse. You guys can see the top three sites on this and why which one is what but I can promise you if you watch his sportsbook topic there is like a ton more places and from B to F as well and even non ranked ones as well, there is a lot of places he has been checking out for years and since he got big people like me started to help as well.

Now, he has a huuuge always updated list of many sportsbooks which you can definitely use to really decide which place you want to play. Honestly there is very few reasons not to play on the big one and just go with nitrogen, there is maaaybe 1 or 2 other websites close to that but still seeing WHY nitrogen is great helps out a lot.
70  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin could still crash below $3000 - Vinny Lingham on: April 21, 2019, 06:00:18 PM
Seriously? Dropping to 1700? Like even if that is possible which it is not the support is at 1900 not 1700, anyone who checked out the resistance and supports would have known this, dude must be just making up numbers as he is going along and just putting them on news.

Bitcoin will not drop that much, I can tell you that much, bitcoin is going above right now and even with a correction the price is set at 4400 right now for support and will not go below believe me. I think the real reason these people want bitcoin to drop is that they have purchased a heavy amount of bitmex shorts or cme shorts so if bitcoin goes up all their money will go to waste and they will lose it. They want bitcoin to drop to 1700's so they could potentially profit a lot from that move.
71  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC To 9K$, China Banned miners on: April 21, 2019, 05:20:54 PM
Chinese governments actions always affect bitcoin and they have been against crypto since day one, it was time we moved out of that country and moved to a one that is more friendly for crypto. I hope all these miners actually get away from that toxic country and can move into one that is supportive.

Simply put if you have miners in china than it will be basically in Chinese control, even in Chinese banks and all that money helps china while they hate miners for what they provide, they are toxic in our community. However, if all these miners move to a new country that supports bitcoin world than they all will be much more powerful while china will lose all the power in their hands. That is why I think this will be a great thing for bitcoin in general.
72  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to deal with greed whilst trading? on: April 21, 2019, 01:14:36 PM
I think when its about financial world I do not think "greed" is something you want to get rid of. I mean greed is what making people wanting more and more money, a regular person would want more money as well but wouldn't really go trade crypto currencies between each other on binance to make money out of thin air and than turn those digital currencies into real life fiat and call it a profit, that is a greedy persons doing.

I do not think people realize that "greed" is not really bad depending on what you are doing, if you want to make more money and think that is normal than being greedy shouldn't a problem, if you are the owner of a work place and cut expenses and fire 2 people and make the remaining work harder with no pay to cover etc etc than its bad, that is bad greed, yours is definitely good.
73  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you define a good exchange? on: April 21, 2019, 10:10:02 AM
I think if any exchange reads here we can honestly say almost everyone wants the same thing. First of all volume, if you have no volume than you will not be important, binance fixed that by giving money to affiliates (first %50 than 20% which is a shame but not much we can do about it).

Since volume is too general we can pinpoint as more coins and more withdraw quickness. If you have a lot of coins than there is a chance those people who own that coin will come to your website, even if its 5k+ dollars or something its still better than not having it and getting zero, have a thousand coins if you can as long as they are just making you 1 dollar profit its good. And if you can allow withdraws to be quick and cheap that will just put the cherry on top.
74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: April 18, 2019, 06:08:17 PM
There must be something different in City after last night, I mean they are knocked out of CL by a team that is under them at the league and given worse odds, they should have beaten them and go to next stage and when you are at finals or semi finals than its normal that you do not win the league because you get very tired but since they are no longer there the remaining games must be the upmost importance for them.

That is the reason why I think the important part here for them is how are they going to take this loss, will they just pout and give up and feel sorry for themselves or will they just get up and say we still have EPL and play accordingly ? If they do the first than kudos to Liverpool but if they are going to do the second than their remaining games are as certain as any game ever.
75  Economy / Economics / Re: How adoption will happen on: April 18, 2019, 05:14:02 PM
Is it going to start with poor countries and their dictators?
Is it going to start in the USA with their SEC and ETF and everything?
Discuss.
I think with the fact that Ohio state is accepting bitcoin payments for tax we can safely assume that the adoption is getting bigger and bigger in developed countries much faster because of the population and interest over those parts. But, if you look at it % of the wealth and so forth on other countries you will see that the % is bigger in underdeveloped countries.

So, when you look at it the totals are bigger in developed countries because even with less interest the amount is bigger but at underdeveloped countries even with higher interest it is definitely harder to reach those develop countries totals that is why I do not think we can really compare the two together, one is bigger already so their impact is bigger and the other is small so no matter what their impact is small as well.
76  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin has no practical use and could be damaging to the economy! on: April 18, 2019, 04:40:02 PM
I really do not understand these hectic type of talks about bitcoin, not just bad parts neither, all parts together. In the end if you are saying bitcoin is going to be the savior and going to be a million dollars and what not is not true neither, you gotta believe that bitcoin will be and should be alternative instead. It should be something in between, not something that will die soon or not something that will become the industry standard neither.

I believe bitcoin is already at a level where its comfortably the max we can reach, not in price, price could change but the level of it being used, it won't be as big as banks and so forth but its also not nothing neither that is why I think even if it goes to 100k one day it won't still be big enough to disturb the financial world.
77  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coin cleansing on: April 17, 2019, 02:32:32 PM
So binance have delisted BSV and hopefully others will follow soon. Should exchanges collaborate and delist all the other shitcoins?

Coin cleansing will help the crypto economy by focusing more on real projects, but it risks centralisation
This one was more about "political" than actual technology reasons so I doubt it will create a wave of delisting of useless coins, it totally should happen but I doubt it will happen.

This was done because the owner of binance was done with that fraud Craig Wright and I am super happy about it honestly but it wasn't done because of the coin, the coin is innocent of all the mistakes the creator of it had so there is no point of expecting other coins to get delisted since their creators are different people.

If it was about how bchsv was a bad coin or something or useless than we could safely assume they will continue delisting other useless coins as well but unfortunately this was done because of the creator not the coin itself so all other coins are safe from getting delisted as long as their creators are not frauds.
78  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is this the beginning of the end of all bitcoin hard forks? on: April 17, 2019, 12:58:14 PM
BCH will get harder time getting delisted, its still something that is looking legit compared to bitcoin sv, bitcoin sv was not even a bad coin by itself (useless but not bad) there was no need to create it but after it was created there was nothing bad about it, it was the owner that pissed everyone off and that is why it was delisted.

BCH is the same, its totally useless but after its created there is no need to actually get it delisted and considering how the owners are the biggest miners in the whole world and they are working with the exchanges to help everyone there is little chance they will get delisted. All other hard forks like bitcoin gold or silver or diamond etc etc are already not even cared about so they won't give a damn about those for sure.
79  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Whales Have Started Splashing – This Rally’s Just Getting Started on: April 17, 2019, 11:20:59 AM
I really doubt whales do the buying part on OTC at all, they probably sell at OTC for sure and someone must be buying from them but that is when the seller offers something decent for the wholesale price. Normally any whale with a bit of brain (which I assume they all have in financial regards since they are whales) they buy on the exchange, after all when you buy on the exchanges you increase the price anyway so why not both buy bitcoin and increase your profits at the same time ?

Buying at OTC only works if you get a great discount, if you are not getting a discount or couldn't find anyone to trade on OTC than you will want to buy on exchanges, you start to buy at 4k than with both your purchases and the resistance being broken you end up at 5k which means you profited even while you are buying.
80  Economy / Speculation / Re: CME Bitcoin Futures Hit Record High – 112,710 BTC Traded Worth $546 Million on: April 17, 2019, 07:46:34 AM
I am not entirely sure if this is really a good news or not. I mean this allows bitcoin to be used on a wrapped way, like none of these people actually buy or sell bitcoin you know that right? These people BET on the price of bitcoin instead, which makes bitcoin turn into one of those banking finance stuff that we have worked so much to get away from with bitcoin.

Why would you bet on bitcoin price with bitcoin to make more bitcoin, how does that make any sense and how does that help anyone at all ?

It is just a way for us to actually make profits and not improve bitcoin in general. Hell it even allows you to make profit from bitcoin price going down which many people used during 2018 to make profits of our misery. That is why I am not entirely sure the existence and increases of CME is good for us.
