1601  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if BTC won't see ATH again? on: May 03, 2023, 08:08:40 PM
And why do you think it's even really necessary to see another all-time high? ATH or no ATH, there are people who will still adopt Bitcoin because it provides a digital means of handling our financial records in a decentralized manner and allows users to be in full control over their assets. Perhaps the whole population of this world doesn't need to own Bitcoin for its purpose to be fulfilled. Even if the total supply of Bitcoin were divided among the world population, no one would own up to 0.5 Bitcoin, at which point the total supply of Bitcoin would not even be enough for the already existing Bitcoiners because there are still thousands of people who don't yet hold even up to 0.1 Bitcoin.

So my point here, @OP, is that Bitcoin has all possible reasons to still see a new all-time high based on the total supply, and also that Bitcoin was not even created for the ATH we keep speculating about; Bitcoin's purpose is for the common man and woman to have full control of their assets in a digital way and to carry out money transactions with anyone around the world.
That is such a great way of approaching bitcoin, and funny enough that is the reason why it will see ATH as well. I do not care about what the price is because I will keep using it and that's the thing that matters the most for me. People who are not really considering that are making a mistake. I personally hope that the best thing to do right now is to make sure that we invest accordingly and that is the most important thing.

I know not many people will be able to actually do something that will matter, but as long as it does then I will be fine with it. I hope that it gets at a better point and we will not see it do too badly, but that doesn't mean that we will not be able to actually lose money, we just don't care about the price when we are using it.
1602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: May 03, 2023, 07:25:03 PM
In my opinion, I think referral bonuses are typically waste of one's time because of its processes that seems so impossible to claim and recently I came across a thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437603.0 seeking for Casinos with paid referral bonuses and I tool out time to read most of the responses there and they all seem impossible to claim referral bonuses.
I wish to know if anyone has successfully claimed referral bonuses and how easy was the process and what Casino did you claim those bonuses
I think you must be using the wrong gambling sites or expecting too much from the reward of referring someone if this is how you're feeling. Refer a friend schemes on a low level are reasonably generous, mainly because word of mouth and a referral by a trusted friend is probably more likely to convert into a decent paying customer. However when you're looking more towards affiliate programs and mass referring users from different sources, then you may struggle to find decent payouts. Simply because you are competing directly with the advertising programs that casinos are already running, it can be hard to find a good stream of quality paying signups and that's all that casinos are interested in extracting from referrals.
Or maybe he is referring the wrong people? Those people who don't have an interest in gambling even at a tiny percent. He won't obviously get anything from them. Our friend might be trusted but it does not mean that they will now play gambling. Trusted people are usually kind and don't have bad habits such as gambling but each of us do always have that friend who are the opposite of the nice friend.

This is the one that we must encourage because for sure they will easily sign up on the link that we have given and they will also beg for guidance. I think there are still places where the casino didn't reached in terms of marketing and we might be the first to promote our links there. We must only pray or hope that we can gather active players for us to earn decent income thru referrals.

They got busted so fast. This thread doesn't even last for a month before receiving scam accusations. This shows that we don't really cater scam and we want to help each other by giving warning to this forum. I suggest to victims to post a scam accusation with proofs in the Scam accusation board for it to be recognized as scam casinos. This is why I don't even try playing on new casino because the chance of you being scammed is so high. Be careful guys especially on new casinos.
We cater or allow any sites here but we don't tolerate the scams because we care about the safety of other people and we do care about the reputation of this forum. Until now, Bitcointalk has a nice record. It's a home for of many legit crypto gambling sites and known to help gamblers who are having an issue. It's either they got scammed or they are becoming addicted to it.

I check the domain on Whois and found out that they start in 2021. This proves that scams can happen too on older casinos and not just in the newer ones but I still agree on you that the fatality rate is still high in newer casinos because people are not familiar with them and its easy for them to abandon their site because there is no sentimental value yet that has been built up.
1604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: May 03, 2023, 04:38:11 PM
You can get all the information you need to make your mind about boxing or the UFC from the internet. I wish I could name you some websites that have a lot of statistics, but I am not so much into boxing or UFC. My main sports I follow and bet on is football and some esport games. It comes natural to me to stay informed and uptodate on the sport as I have played in the past myself and I always check the news about some changes. You are right that football is completely different from boxing. There is a huge league in football with many games every week. All the teams meet multiple times during a season, so you have constantly changing odds. And also it not only depends on your own performance to become the champion during a season, but also on the performance on the other teams. In boxing it's much simpler as you have less matches in a year and the big title fights is only between two people. Which also means that it's harder to stay uptodate on the boxing news as there will be much less coverage in the time between the fights.   
I think ESPN covers a lot of that if I'm not wrong. One can easily get the basic stats from player profiles and news and analysis of upcoming matches from their website, and there are a bunch of other websites that one can use to get news, information, stats, and analysis about UFC and the matches. I'm personally not so keen about the sport, but I think one can also get a slight idea of how things work if they watch some matches from the past or some that happen.

The fact that there aren't a lot of matches of UFC in a year makes it easier to follow up with the matches and to stay up to date with the changes and facts that may affect the performances of specific players.
1605  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is Inflation Happening All Over the World At Once? on: May 02, 2023, 07:29:16 PM
Instead of 7-10%+ range, we are back to 4-7 range nowadays and I am sure that in another year by 2024 we are going to have a 2-4% range once again like the old days. Which means that high inflation already happened and that's over, we are getting better, the prices do not drop, it went up and stayed there, but now we have a chance to fix our income to match that.

At first when the high level of inflation happened, that was hard to handle because our income was small compared to that, but now that everything is getting back to normal, if you get like 10-15% salary increase whereas the inflation is 4% then you actually get more money, it was more like 10% salary increase but 15% inflation so you lost. I think in a few years we will all be doing a lot better thanks to this.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: May 02, 2023, 06:48:04 PM
People today getting exaggerated with ChatGPT this cannot give too much than your fantasies related to gambling this is used to help people with their concerns and use for developing tools, you can seek information with the chatgpt but in defeating into a game far from reality with the use of chatgpt still needs with the players presence to play in gambling casino unless you will built a script for your automatic game destroyer in the game, this case surely makes a suspicious to the player might put a penalty for the players part.
That's an interesting point I haven't thought about yet. I agree that ChatGPT is not there yet to take over all human decision making in gambling and online Poker. But there could be a time where AI will surpass is humans in gambling, like it happened in many other games. The real question is how will people be able you use it in poker if there are large sums of money involved. In chess for example there are computer programs that are much better than humans for years now, and still online tournaments are being played. The main issue here is that games can be analysed quickly to see if a machine or a human was playing. I would expect the same thing to happen in online poker. The use of advanced software will likely be banned and punished harshly.
We can't predict the exact things that might happen in the future, AI might be able to defeat humans in gambling in the future, and it may never be able to do that, it all depends on how advanced the technology can get, but even after that, I think humans will still have an edge since an AI model will never have the ability to think.

AI can only evaluate the results from the past, analyze the data and predict one step in the future while a human can think of steps ahead and that is the reason why humans will probably always be superior to AI models no matter how developed they might become.

What else should an established crypto casino add?
Of course, every potential player first looks at the selection of games or deposit bonuses, and for most online casinos that is certainly something that attracts new players, but I would like to point out one more very important thing, which is customer support. In the event that some unpleasant situation happens (and there are quite a few in the Scam accusation board), every casino should react as quickly as possible and clear things up before the impression is created that someone has really been scammed.

I think that reputation is very important in this business, and every player will be able to appreciate the quick resolution of possible problems and will remain loyal to that casino and recommend it to others.
Excellent customer support is undoubtedly one of the most essential things a business like gambling should have since most of the time, players run into issues within games or with their accounts or finances, and when the issues aren't resolved quickly or on time, a player simply prefers changing their casino and choosing another one over what they were on previously.

I've seen projects losing a lot of potential customers and eventually failing only for not having good enough customer support and taking good care of their customers since a business can only get successful if there are active and returning customers.
1608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 02, 2023, 08:33:16 AM
I think the situation that made him feel at home in Tottenham is that he has a place in the hearts of the fans and the comfort that he gets in Tottenham makes him feel at home with Tottenham. But lately he has been heavily linked with big teams from the EPL who are interested in securing his services in the transfer window. I think other teams should be able to persuade him of the loyalty he has with Tottenham to accept the offer they are making.

indeed he has quite good qualities at his disposal and he can reach a trophy if he moves to another team. I even think that if he accepts an offer from Manchester United to move, then that's a pretty good choice for his next career.
I find him a hostage of his own contract that he signed with Spurs otherwise being a legend in the heart of Spurs fans is funny since he will be forgotten the moment he leave the team or retire without getting any single trophy and Conte wasn't joking when he said that the whole team and the management are dysfunctional.
Spurs being Spurs is something that start to hear often. Kane has to find another team to improve and boost his career. It is ridiculous to see him in the shadows of Tottenham..
Now in July he could be 30 years old mean still having 5 to 6 years in his career which mean he can do things which are important for the legendary player like his already spend nearly 14 years here at Tottenham without any success is ridiculous for player like him if he changes his mind then surely top ranked clubs like Manchester United and Bayern Munich can go through for him with he can win trophies which will surely amaze his career which is already having few amazing achievements in Premier League.

Hopefully now after end of this season we will have different things for him and his career because right now with current situation I have doubt they can end into top six because right now Liverpool and Aston Villa are doing impressive run which can give them better end with Tottenham which is currently having four matches without any win can go down from their current spot as well.
1609  Economy / Economics / Re: Which do you prefer on: May 02, 2023, 05:39:59 AM
I don't think there will be anyone in the world who doesn't like self-employment and prefers a day job instead of being their own boss where they are literally free to do whatever they want to without anyone having the right to say anything to them for not working the same hours or going anywhere or taking leave, you talk about any aspect, self-employment is a thousand folds better than working for a company or even the government.

The only thing that one should be concerned about is whether they can earn enough by themselves and whether the earning is consistent or not. Not being able to earn one day and earning more the other day is okay, but having breaks of weeks or months can become an issue later on.

I feel like there are two sides of this that are evil and that makes the rest of the world watching laugh. The west that talks badly about Russia is right, Russia is a beautiful nation that is ruled by a moron dictator and that causes plenty of people to die needlessly and the economy sucks and even if you manage to build everything on your own, you need export to make money and this will cause a big trouble.

Russia talking about west is right as well, war in Ukraine might be terrible but not like West hasn't attacked middle east for the past 20 years, we have seen that, west has done much worse war crimes before as well. So, Russia is right about west and west is right about Russia if you ask any nation that is staying out of this, like mine, we just laugh at your attacks against each other.
1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 01, 2023, 08:15:03 PM
A result that was not expected at all from Juventus who continued to receive unsatisfactory results in the last 4 matches. Apart from them failing to get full points, this result also made them fail to shift Lazio, who at the same time they also received defeat this week. This result is beneficial for Inter Milan, who are close to gaining points from these two teams. Juventus must be able to evaluate their game, otherwise they will continue to get results they don't want every week.
agree, a thorough evaluation is what Juventus should be doing at this time, I remember how bad their appearance was at the start of the season, don't let Juventus go back down like that time. until the end of the season I myself was still sure that Lazio would stop in 2nd position, Juventus' hope of being in the runner-up position was quite small, especially since Juventus was playing unstable again.
I was expecting positive change in their performance, but suddenly they have the worst things happening and now from third they can drop to fourth which could be surely not good because they need to work on their way for positive end of this season which will give them good boost for the next season.

In last few weeks, we have no good results for the top five teams as all are struggling badly and just Napoli is clearly leading for the title all other teams are in bad shape which is creating mess-up right now no team is clear for any spot because from here any team can go out of the top four and any team can capture intention for the top four spots with both Milan's sides are also preparing for the semifinal spot of the Champions League as well.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 01, 2023, 06:21:05 PM
It must be feeling great for Newcastle to be in this situation in the league now. They have an average level of squad maybe but this stil isn't a hindrance for them to fight for top 4 and nearly guarantee their Champions League ticket. If they can do this with these players I can't even imagine how strong they can be after new big additions to the team this summer.

In the end big players would be more likely to sign for them after this achievement. After doing this the most important thing is going to maintain a solid chemistry in the team. Because adding new players and strengthening the squad doesn't guarantee anything in your game already. They will need to be well-prepared for next season.
Newcastle have shown good quality in their games this season,   Newcastle has change from how it used to be before,  the new management has a winning mentality that is why they are doing greatly . From Newcastle performance this season it is very possible they will  maintain the fourth position to qualify for champions league next season.
There is no doubt about Newcastle United performance in this season they have done amazing things and now most chances they will achieve this target with staying into top four because they need 2 wins and from remaining five matches it's possible for them to have these wins and put out Liverpool from top four which is having also one of the worst season and now most chances going to stay at fifth spot and no chance for the Champions League in next season Manchester United is also having good season now they will be in top four with already won EFL Cup and having final against Manchester City for the FA Cup which is also having good chance.

Newcastle Untied have no cup but still staying into top four is interested with new management already announces they will develop this club into European best clubs with their own vision and things going into right way for them in near future.
1613  Economy / Economics / Re: Look for what to invest, not what to eat on: May 01, 2023, 08:28:51 AM
In my personal opinion, invest when we are ready to invest, don't invest when we are not ready to fulfill our primary needs first, then we start investing because investment should not be arbitrary, investment must use idle money because investment assets will grow in the future.
I think it is very difficult to start investing but have not met our needs in life
Every person has different needs in life. Therefore, many people, no matter how much they earn, will never have money left to invest. Sooner or later the needs of life will lead to the destruction of all cash reserves. That's why smart investing is a necessity, otherwise you just can't survive.
I think the best thing to do in that case is force yourself to save if you are not going to starve because of that, then it should be done. I personally do not have a lot of money, but even if it is as little as 50 dollars I end up saving some money aside. This is how you make more money, I have a lot of debt, and I have to live and pay bills and such, but even with that I keep on investing, why? Because that allows me to grow bigger.

My debt may stay there, I can live with that, but my investment can grow much faster than that. This is why it's important to keep saving some money aside at all times. However, if you are at a level where you are having some trouble saving money, then the better thing to do would be making more money instead.
1614  Economy / Gambling / Re: What sort of Weekly & Monthly Bonuses do Bitcointalk members want? on: May 01, 2023, 06:40:23 AM
Just know the rules behind the bonus as it's always corresponding requirements to take it from the house, though if there's none better to enjoy the free added perks and try your luck winning some from the house, if luck did not permit you then there's nothing to worry it's a free added and nothing to push to try recovering it.

Make sure to control your emotions as most of the time, it's the one that really matters, it influences you whenever you play
and such emotions are dangerous to your bankroll.
Most of the time, casinos that provide weekly or monthly bonuses don't have any requirements for those bonuses but when a user makes a deposit and they get a bonus on top of that, then they have to meet certain requirements before they can withdraw it like wagering requirements which are mostly over 15x or 20x.

Now these bonuses usually run out when a person starts playing if they are not lucky, if they are lucky, they might get some big wins in the middle and then they might have some of it remaining even after completing the requirements.
1615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: May 01, 2023, 05:05:40 AM
And lets entertain the OP and suppose there was in fact a method of making 100 dollars daily out of a 2k balance, tell me if you had such method will you share it for free just because someone asked you that question? Would you consider selling the method? And if so at what price? My point is that even if such a thing existed no one in his right mind will share it for free, when they can just keep quiet and keep getting those profits.
You are probably right that even if there was a method that one of us knew and it was effective, we would probably just keep that to ourselves and keep earning the money ourselves and not share it with others only with the fear that what if the method becomes useless when it's used by a lot of people and that generally happens.

Whenever there is a strategy or something that can be used to earn money when it gets spread all around and everyone starts using it, it stops working anymore and then the person who initially knew about it starts regretting that why he told someone else about it.

It really makes a ton of sense to make crypto as legit as it gets for any nation and governments. I get that some people might have some questions about it, but that doesn't mean that each nation will approach it the same way, it will be different situations without a doubt. Not every nation has the same size neither, that changes things, both economically and population as well.

El Salvador made it legal for example, and that was easy because they are a small nation with small economy, they couldn't invest even a billion dollars, there are people who could spend that without a care, PEOPLE, and this is a nation we are talking about. So you can't expect USA to get there quickly, it may take decades before bitcoin would be possibly legal tender there, probably never. Hence, it is going to be different for China as well.

Kane is not as bad as you guys make him out to be, he is not the greatest striker ever of course, he is not mbappe, he is not haaland, but he is better than worst at least, that's just not normal to expect him to be at that level anyway, just be better.

The expensive part is true, he needs to be cheaper, we still do not know how much United pay to get him, but if they pay anything like 60 million, that would be more than good, if they pay like 80 million that would be limit and maybe even too much according to some. So they need to make sure that they pay as little as possible, if they pay more than that, then they get screwed. There are other cheaper situations that we could see them in, like Osimhen would be a much better deal without a doubt.

"Singaporean women ‘outperforming’ men in crypto trades, survey reveals"
You are right, this survey has been acknowledged by @Yuree Hong as founder and creator of women's crypto community in singapore. It's no wonder that we know Singaporean women, 80% of them are familiar with crypto, especially Bitcoin, if we see women hanging out in cafes, they are not spared from investment conversations, No wonder we often find women in Singapore who are 30 years old and don't have husbands, they don't want to get married before they are rich, that's why women there choose the best crypto investment solutions they have.

In some other surveys it can also be seen, 80% of Singaporean women's social media always talk about crypto, Singapore has the most women who care about their future through crypto investment channels, this is a natural change that is happening right now for women in Singapore.
I like the mindset of women there. Very different compare to other Asian countries where women got pregnant early. No wonder there are more women who are involved in crypto than in men. Instead of posting useless stuffs on social media, they use it for posting meaningful content and this helps the people on their network to get influenced on crypto if they haven't tried it yet.

Women are showing that they can also do what usually the men can only do. This is great. Time will come that women will not be underestimated anymore and they will now be respected by the men. I wish to see a similar improvement on other parts of the countries.
1619  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a web3 casino for you? on: April 30, 2023, 03:04:01 PM
I think most gamblers are don't care with Web 3.0 or decentralization/privacy, that's why they don't mind to submit their KYC on the casino.

There are many cons of decentralized casinos:
1. They worried if they have connected their wallet to the casino, their coins will be gone because we had seen so many people lose their coins due to connecting their wallet.
2. Promotions, rakeback, VIP ranks are limited or not implemented by the casino.
3. They feel more comfortable to gamble through login their account than connecting their wallet.
4. They have thought the casino will not last long since the casino will need to follow the regulations and it will ruin the decentralization.
There are pros and cons for every casino whether it's decentralized or centralized, but what you described aren't really cons to be honest. Let me explain, even decentralized casinos can have promotions, rake backs, etc. But they will need to program them well so that they are allocated based on smart contracts.

About wallet connecting scams, I think that depends on one's self if how much they've researched about a platform that they are about to use, if they use it without any research, and lose their money, it's definitely their own fault.

Lastly, even if a casino is closed by the authorities, a gambler should have no problems since they don't have an account and they have their funds in their wallet.
1620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: April 30, 2023, 11:51:51 AM
Its sad that there are people who do still considering on signing up with them and make out some immediate deposited despite of the reputation that they do have just because they had missed out on reading up
People are easily led astray by big promises and attractive promotions. 1xBit pays a lot of attention on acquiring new players and despite their awful reputation, they do it successfully. The majority of gamblers don't conduct any research. Their investigation begins if something bad happens to them. It's then that they want to know if other people have experienced the same.

What wonders me more is that we have too many people on this forum who don't mind advertising that scam casino in their signature space for a quick buck. They don't care where the money comes from as long as they get paid.  
The signature participants are most probably compelled to do that since they have no other option and were probably rejected from other campaigns and it was the only one they could get in, and after getting in, now they obviously can't get into any other campaigns considering their profiles have been tagged red by DT members for promoting a scam casino.

Bonuses and promotions are the way, even if they are not trustworthy, attract new gamblers and if the gamblers are newbies, they obviously won't care much about anything if they see the bonuses they are being offered.
