As far as I know, according to their terms, selling or buying accounts is not allowed at BC.Game casino.  You, and ultimately your account buyer, risk having your account blocked.

To decodx

- decentralization requires that there needs to exist only one center, because if there is no center, there is no decentralization. Proof of work does not invent a center, it discovers it

OK, I get it. You're just trolling! It was nice chatting with you... Now, welcome to my ignore list.

yes it can't be done, bitcoin is the only product made by mankind that cant be reverse engineered or copied

Yes, it can be absolutely copied, and has been!  Bitcoin's innovation is decentralization, not some magic code that can't be replicated.  There are thousands of cryptocurrencies out there, all inspired by Bitcoin and many directly copying its core technology.  These are called altcoins, and while they might not be exactly the same, they prove that Bitcoin itself isn't some unique, uncopyable invention.

But at least you accepted that Bitcoin is a product (invention) and not a discovery as you claimed before.  Cheesy

Bitcoin is a closed system because it's impossible to reverse engineer it.

Why do you keep making such stupid claims?  Bitcoin doesn't need to be reverse engineered when it is open source software. Anyone can look into it, copy it, modify it, make their own version of it...

But on markets we can reverse engineer about anything, companies do copy each other ideas, only bitcoin is a product that can't be reverse engineered, and

There are literally thousands of altcoins out there that were created by copying the Bitcoin idea and even the original source code.  And you say that it cannot be copied?

The competition to win Eurovision is starting to get intense, and you can see it in how the betting odds are changing! Based on the latest from Eurovisionworld, Switzerland's got the best chance right now with "The Code" by Nemo.  Not far behind them is Croatia's "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" by Baby Lasagna, and the Netherlands is in third with "Europapa" by Joost Klein.   

Of course just because they're on top now doesnt mean they'll stay there.  Italy is in a close fourth, at the moment. And it's never smart to fully count out Ukraine either.

Things are still wide open!

Here is the current odds table for top 10 favourites:

1. Switzerland 2.88   
2. Croatia 4.5   
3. Netherlands 4.5   
4. Italy 7   
5. Ukraine 11   
6. France 17
7. Israel 29   
8. Greece 29
9. Ireland 34   
10. Belgium 101

Just another one of those WTF? posts for the of fame/shame.  Enjoy! And good luck trying to make any sense of this:

Bitcoin is a closed system because it's not an invention, but it is a discovery. Stock market, and usd, are inventions, and what makes bitcoin a discovery is the concept of proof of work, and it is

closed because its not possible to rediscover it.

And if it's a closed system, you have to agree with me that entropy is applied. Entropy means decentralization, common markets are not subject to entropy because they tend to centralization, but bitcoin tends to

decentralization, and that means natural selection is working on bitcoin, because natural selection acts on decentralization.  

But on natural selection there needs to exist a loser and a winner, because that's how it works

This has to be the dumbest thing I've read on a forum in a long time. 

As explained before, Bitcoin is not a closed system and nothing you said makes any logical sense. Apparently, even the basic definitions of "invention" and "discovery" elude you.  But I have no intention of wasting any more time explaining it to you. So, good luck with your nonsensical theories.
68  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Natural selection explains why bitcoin will always rise on: April 24, 2024, 09:49:13 PM
Do you agree with me that those who sell bitcoin are losers, and those who buy and keep bitcoin are winners?

No, I don't agree with you. How can those who bought bitcoin be winners? What did they win?
If you are talking about the markets, the only way to win is to sell the asset at a higher price than the price you bought it for. But according to your definition, those who sell are losers, so you contradict yourself.

Natural selection removes losers from the system

Not always. There are countless studies that have confirmed that in the evolution of species, the best features do not always win.

If bitcoin is a closed system it uses natural selection, and then it will have more winners than losers, so the price will go up forever

Bitcoin market is not a closed system. It interacts with traditional finance and other cryptocurrencies, new bitcoins are constantly mined, and people can enter and exit the market with fiat currency. This continuous flow makes Bitcoin an open system, not a closed one. But maybe you are confusing the concept of a closed system for a zero-sum aspect within Bitcoin market. Those are completely different things.


By the way, learn how to quote correctly.

OP, what did I tell you in my first reply in this thread? Lots of boring lectures and blah, blah, blah posts about responsible gambling and budgeting - exactly as I predicted. Hahaha!
70  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they on: April 22, 2024, 11:44:18 PM
Biggest beginner mistake? A lot of people will probably say those long, boring lectures about responsibility and budgets. Blah blah blah. Where's the fun in that?  The real winners tend to go all-in, throwing caution and their life savings to the wind.  I mean if you're gonna play, might as well go big right? And when you hit a losing streak, just double down to try and get it back and  chase those losses until you've got nothing left! Who needs rules anyway when you're feeling lucky? Just keep betting it all on red over and over.  Live crazy and dangerously, I always say!  Grin


Obviously I'm just joking here and dont actually recommend any of this.  Please ignore my terrible advice on gambling irresponsibly and blowing your money.  I was just trying to be funny in a sarcastic way.
71  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No gambling today due to bitcoin high transaction fee. on: April 22, 2024, 11:29:54 PM
It is nice when gambling and having your Bitcoin to stake during when the fees are low because high fees can be overriding and having someone to twice thoughts to proceed with the transactions or not.

Maybe a lot of gambling would gambling as the fees can. E affordable but right to me, I can not just bump so quickly to gambling without an initial budget just because the fees for today is low.

Woof, this post is a bit tough to decipher.  Sounds like you're saying low transaction fees make gambling more tempting?

But the grammar in the post makes it hard to understand. Rephrasing it with clearer sentences could help everyone get your point.
72  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: buying bitcoin with a creditcard on: April 18, 2024, 08:20:02 PM
Well, it really boils down to where you're at in Europe.  Using a local crypto exchange could save you some money versus something international that piles on the fees and  these local spots usually let you directly transfer from your bank account, sidestepping those credit card charges.  Now I ain't gonna suggest any particular exchange to use internationally but I'd say poke around for some big name exchanges that take credit cards globally.  Just be sure to read the fine print on those fees and terms and conditions real careful before you decide.  If you have a question about the reputation of a specific exchange before you decide to send your money, feel free to ask.
73  Other / Meta / Re: Why is merit not common on trading discussion board on: April 18, 2024, 08:10:47 PM
I don't think there are merit sources that are designated for any board specifically or that are obligated to send merits to posts people make there. Merit sources and high-ranking members are more likely to spend time in technical boards, so it is natural that more merit is distributed in these boards. If you think there are posts that deserve merits, but they didn't get them, you can always report them to the merit-sharing threads that some merit sources have started.
74  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Less than 24 hours to Bitcoin halving and my Birthday! on: April 18, 2024, 05:59:17 PM
What makes it strange, this time Bitcoin price "day after" halving might be lower than "30 days before" because currently the price is hovering around $61K. Something new might happen, probably the halving event ATH will be created in this year instead of next year, who knows.
Looking at the table, I have this feeling of I cannot explain. The halving of 2024 will be very difficult to predict because  there are many complex, interacting variables at play and it is way unique and than those of 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2020. We cannot tell if the price day after, will slump further or that it pulls back 30 days after, as the reduced issuance rate gets priced in. With institutional investors buying, this is different from the other halving's we have experienced. I think that a new record and history will be made.

I think it's always kinda been a crapshoot.  Nobody can ever fully predict what'll happen with bitcoin prices.  Like yeah, the halvings usually cause some stir, but there's always a bazillion other things going on too that push and pull in every direction and  this time around, big institutional money is getting sucked in so their fat wallets could definitely juice prices more than past halvings.  Then again, you never know - if regulations smack down hard, or people just get spooked and bail, it might not turn out so hot.  I aint gonna try calling my shot for 2024.  With crypto, you takes your chances.
75  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is LTC dead? on: April 13, 2024, 06:29:57 PM
Is Litecoin dead in your opinion?

I wouldn't say Litecoin is dead, not by a long shot.  Sure, it might not make as many headlines nowdays as in the past, but for me it's still very much alive and kickin'.  I actually prefer using it for daily transactions rather than Bitcoin because the fees are so much lower.  and  Litecoin might not have all the glitz and glamor of some newer cryptos but for getting stuff done fast and on the cheap, it just works.

76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which player are you? on: April 13, 2024, 06:19:11 PM
Result of the poll so far. From 64 voters, 50% of them are sports bettor while only 12.5% are casino games players.
Is it also a proof why when there are casino games competition in this forum, the number of participants is not as much as when there are FREE sports prediction contest?
Or is it merely because sports prediction is FREE then there are always more members who are participating while most casino games contest requires participants to spend some money?

I bet it's the latter.  Free sports predicting contests probably catch the eyes of a larger crowd.  Putting cash on the line in a competition isn't everyones cup o' tea, particularly if they don't feel extremely self-assured about their betting talents.  Also, dabbling in sports wagers could seem more welcoming to some.  There's a good chance you already closely keep up with a sport and have a decent grasp regarding the teams and players.  Casino games, despite being fun involve more unpredictability and luck.
77  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: April 13, 2024, 05:25:46 PM
Yes, you are right. It is not wise to invest in bitcoin if you do not know how to do so. But it is better to invest money in the bank than make a profit by saving. There are many other types, but others, such as investing in a business or sharing, will bring good earnings.

You make a fair point that Bitcoin's not for everyone, but sticking your cash in a traditional bank isn't exactly "investing" either. It's more like watching your money slowly lose value to inflation.  If you're serious about making your money grow, you gotta explore some actual investment options and do some digging, no matter what you choose!  There are many options out there, like investing in businesses, real estate, precious metals or even other cryptocurrencies, but blindly jumping into anything is not good.
78  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Have you tried Pre-Market Trading? on: April 13, 2024, 05:13:49 PM
I haven't personally dabbled in pre-market trading before.  Your explanation makes it sound interesting though, especially the part about locking in a price without needing the actual crypto yet.  That sounds useful.  On the other hand, that detail about not owning the coins they're selling gives me some hesitation.  It seems risky compared to regular trading where the assets are in hand. 

Have you done any research on the specific exchange offering this MERL token pre-market trading? Knowing their reputation and how they handle these deposits/margins would be key for me before jumping in.
79  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eurovision 2024 bets on: April 13, 2024, 02:04:42 PM
Yeah, Switzerland's moved to #1 on the betting odds, but I ain't buying it.  They might crack the top 10 at best in my book and  the song's got some good parts, but other bits and the whole performance is just too out there for me.  I dunno, weirdness is what some folks dig but I figure Croatias still got the edge with the televoters.  Could come down to the jury messing stuff up in the end though.
80  Economy / Gambling / Re: What are your expectations for Casino coins in this coming bull run? on: April 13, 2024, 01:36:03 PM
You know, I think the overall mood around crypto and how many people use casino coins could really move prices up a lot if things get crazy again.  Plus if the actual casino with the token gets super popular, boom - token goes up too probably.  But don't just look at the gambling, find some casino tokens trying to do other stuff too with the coin and  that'll get more investors I bet.
