You don't need to quote the whole post to say that. In fact, it is better if you don't and if you do, some people will put you on ignore.

It seems logical. The higher the market cap, the lower the volatility, because it takes a lot more money to vary the price. And in the future there will be even less volatility, as the price increases.
6283  Economy / Speculation / Re: When moon? ($500k / $1 million / $2 million) on: December 11, 2020, 04:36:38 AM
I'm not too worried about those figures as I prefer to enjoy the process.

I will enjoy quite a lot when we break 20k and keep breaking ATHs like 30k 40k so on.

Getting to $2 million in 20 years it's OK but maybe the year before the ATH is $1,9 million so the purchasing power won't be that different.

We have also to bear in mind that fiat currencies will keep depreciating and at fast pace it seems.

$2 million in 20 years maybe will be similar to $ 0.5 million today.

I see a dark future but I was also seeing a dark future in 2012 when Mario Dragui said the famous "Whatever it takes" and totally changed the situacion.

Now we are in a different situation: Lagarde has said that the ECB is reaching its limits and hopes the vaccines work otherwise it seems that the ECB will not have much room for manoeuvre.

I don't know if some unexpected even will happen that will change the situation for good but the large debts of Italy and Spain could end up with them being bailed out of out of the Euro.

Yeah, well, I understand that you are promoting your casino but for me the main poin is that slot games are EV- games.


Slot games are based on luck and randomly generated combinations, which is why there is no definite strategy to ensure your win.


What is sure is that the more you play, the more you are going to lose money in net terms.

What I find positive about low wager slot games is that on average, people lose time more slowly. So if they enjoy playing, the experience lasts longer.
6286  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Millennials Are Twice As Likely To Buy Bitcoin Than Gold on: December 09, 2020, 04:33:05 AM
We can't force people to use Bitcoin for a specific purpose(payments) just because it says "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" on the whitepaper's title.

Yes. A creation can go beyond the idea of its creator. If Bitcoin is going to succeed by being SoV, so be it.

On the other hand, it's not surprising what the article says about the millenials, since they perform much better in the digital world than previous generations.

Further, the government backing of these loans is BECAUSE no one would ever loan up to 70k a year (for tuition and room/board) to an 18 year old fresh out of High School with no assets, income, etc. Government backing of these loans is the reason that everyone can get these crazy loans to go to school.

The government SHOULD step in and try to set some limits on school costs as ONLY reason that school costs have continued to rise in price at a much higher rate then inflation is because these schools know the government money is just a faucet of cash.

The solution simple: the government should stop backing those loans. If that happened, fees would go down right away.

Cancel federal loans period and get the government’s fingers OUT of the free market.

Like in many other cases, the government supposedly trying to help people ends up getting them into a mess.

Maybe he needs to explain what is going on in almost all countries about many people's died. The news spread many things, and if we are not wise and smart to think about it, we can get the wrong assumption. With everything that happens in many countries, the Coronavirus is real and it attacks people who can not protect their health from the virus. I watch on television update news of the vaccine that the vaccine is already completed and distributed to many countries, with many people who suffer because of the virus. We can hope that the virus now available in many hospitals can help the patient at the hospital, and they can get the vaccine to cure the virus.

Wow.  Just wow.  They don't call the TV and 'idiot box' for nothing.  We knew that already, but the covid-19 hoax has really rammed the idea home.



The comment you have highlighted is simply pathetic. He know nothing about ilnesses of vaccines or anything and just belives what TV tells him. No critical thinking. It would be funny if it the matter wasn't so serious.
6289  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MicroStrategy strengthens its Bitcoin game, invests addition $50M in BTC on: December 08, 2020, 07:13:53 AM
That news is very good, the only thing that has not had the impact it had the first time. Let's see if more companies continue to join and give the push that bitcoin needs to overcome the 20k barrier. Once the FOMO is over, individuals will start buying bitcoin en masse.
6290  Other / Meta / Re: Spam attack. Please nuke them. on: December 07, 2020, 04:30:09 PM
The only viable solution to this problem is better signature campaign moderation. If the campaign managers don't pay for mindless gibberish posts that sometimes even repeat the same answer given a couple of posts earlier, then the shitposters have no other option but to stop shitposting and start spending some brainpower.

That is also true, but OP was mostly referring to the increasing number of link spam like this one (and by increasing I mean many thousands):
-snip
I assume it's one of two things: malware or a bitcointalk anti-SEO campaign attempt
The former is pretty self explanatory but regarding the latter I still struggle to find out who would benefit the most from this.
One thing's for sure, those accounts are nuked almost instantly and whatever their end game is it will not prevail



I reported one of them. Just links to reddit and I think some to twitter about sports. And the title of the thread made no sense. It seemed to me that it was a bot trying to promote some sport or channel or sth.

I disagree that the only viable solution is better signature campaigns moderation. The one I reported was brand new and I bet none of those in the OP was in a signature campaign.

I usually visit the Bitcoin Discussion section and I don't think the problem there is due to signature campaigns. The main problem are bots and some low-value posters trying to fish some merits and to gain activity.

If we were talking about the Gambling Section I could maybe agree that the problem is due to signature campaigns.
6291  Other / Meta / What are the criteria to delete topics in the gambling section? on: December 05, 2020, 09:27:17 AM
I have to say first of all that, for me, the Gambling Section is the lowest quality one. Some people say it's the Bitcoin Discussion one but in my opinion the Gambling Section is worse because most people write there just because they get paid extra or have minimun requirements of their signature campaigns.

In the Bitcoin Discussion one you get more shitposting from people who don't know much about bitcoin or cryptos and don't care either but they want to get merits and activity so they can join signature campaigns and make money.

Also, I'm not taking into account the alts section or the local ones which I never visit.

Anyway, I've just realised that a topic titled: "Good hand vs bad hand in poker" has been deleted. I'm not too surprised as I posted there and my comment hinted that most people writing in that thread weren't going to engage in actual discussion. I also commented on the levels of poker thinking and was merited for that (from a guy who I guess understands poker to a certain level).

The thread went on like a "What was first the egg or the chiken?" one, so some people were saying good hand, others bad hand mostly in a pointless way, like: "I don't know much about poker but I think..."

But the thing is, shouldn't many threads on that forum be deleted? I'm not talking about threads like the UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread New

I know moderators delete threads when they are reported and I don't if they also do on their own initiative.

What has come to my mind is that if a hard line of action on that board was taken, wouldn't the casinos that announce themselves in the forum and that run signature campaigns complain? I've always thought maybe moderators were more lenient in that board because of that.

So, I'd like to ask if there are any specific criteria to delete topics and not lock them for example. I know that as creator of a thread one can lock the thread and I've done so in the past but I suppose moderators can too.




6292  Economy / Speculation / Re: Taking Bitcoin profit in the bull run | Please Share your strategy on: December 05, 2020, 07:04:59 AM
In my case, I opened a thread asking for advice and as I result I decided that I will sell (rather spend, as poyaa87 says) around 25% of my bitcoin when it reaches the equivalent of a certain amount in fiat. That will be when the price is higher than 20k but between 20-25k, I haven't worked it out exactly.

Then I will set some more milestones as the price increases and I will sell/spend the same percentage, so I will always remain invested. This means that if we go into a bear market again I won't sell any (unless it is a life or death situation).

Are we going to 16,000$ before moving to ATH ?

Wait a moment. I will consult my crystal ball and tell you.

I have a great solution for your pointless threads, based just on what you think and nothing else: to put you in my ignore list. You are the second one so far.

Bye.
6295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I want to play poker online on: December 05, 2020, 04:26:51 AM
I want to play poker with worthy opponents. I've tried a lot of venues, I don't know where to get good ones and what people would have with money. Or it's not interesting to play with the poor. Maybe you know where to play?

If you have tried a lot of venues I suppose you've tried Pokerstars. You are not going to find a better site. I don't currently play there and I don't like their policies but I have to acknowledge they are number one. If not, keep trying the major fiat sites. Pacific is quite good for example.

The thing is, crypto sites have to improve a lot to be as good as the major fiat sites.


777coin.com has a poker feature. I also see that many are playing swcpoker.eu.

Check it out.

There are other poker sites but don't have players.

Yeah but 777coin has video poker, not poker where you play vs other opponents right? Is what OP is asking.
6296  Economy / Speculation / Re: Seems like the bullrun is over this year! on: December 04, 2020, 01:29:28 PM
You don't lose until you sell.

Posts like this will make the price go up.

LMAO
6297  Other / Off-topic / Re: More Good News About Covid-19 Vaccine on: December 04, 2020, 06:44:44 AM
Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon request a stop of all corona vaccination studies and call for co-signing the petition

I've seen this reported in various sites but I haven't seen it in any major news site. So I'm not 100% sure it is true. Dr Yeadon is ex-Pfizer head of respiratory research.

Anyway, what they say is that vaccines could cause infertility in women, they can also cause an exaggerated immune reaction and other problems.

If this is true it is going to be very big.
6298  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 03, 2020, 08:05:36 PM
if we move up and over and into  25-30k this year we will correct in jan feb 2021

So?

Does bitcoin care what you want or prefer?

Yes, apparently he believes in people jinxing the price. Usually the others on the speculation board. I tell you from experience.

It is part of a cosmovision I would say

 Cheesy
6299  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this a good time to invest? on: December 03, 2020, 05:06:49 PM

For the not too long-term investment, do you mean you will eventually sell right? Then it means, whatever the price, you can make an entry since the price is swinging, and with the exact execution of your strategy, you can take advantage of it and take profits.

But for long-term goals e.g for holding, it's a tough question that only you can answer. You need to decide for yourselves what to do. No advice from anyone can tell you the exact thing you need to do.

I mean sell now


You don't wan to invest, you want to play roulette. You might as well go to a casino, the certainty about the outcome is pretty much the same.

Some people with knowledge can buy and sell bitcoin short-term but they base their decisions in technical analysis, in which I don't believe much by the way because most of them lose money
6300  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another big step to adoption bitcoin from VISA! on: December 03, 2020, 04:59:05 PM
I saw that in a YouTube video yesterday.

I agree with you. Today all companies will try to "accept" bitcoins primarily to keep up with the times. Think back to Visa's recent negative attitude towards Bitcoin.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/01/05/visa-locks-bitcoin-payment-cards-crackdown-card-issuer/

But fortunately, as the saying goes, "at least this way to start" gradually all companies are forced to introduce bitcoin into their systems. This is primarily necessary to maintain the current status of leading companies, and not Bitcoin itself, which, more and more, is gaining momentum in popularity, crushing those who so sincerely wanted to ban it earlier.

exactly.
my hope is that what we are seeing these days would be just a phase. a short term one where everyone starts adding bitcoin to their system through all these centralized third parties then slowly move away from them and start accepting bitcoin on their own (which is the correct way of using bitcoin).
that way we use these centralized services until they stop being useful.

Yes, at least it helps normalize bitcoin within society. It would be better if people started using bitcoin privately but if for bitcoin to be massively adopted it will be through small steps like this one. We are slowly moving from bitcoin being a weird word to been a common and everyday one.
