2301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are some government scared of Bitcoin? on: December 02, 2022, 11:34:51 AM
...
People can use bitcoin to avoid taxes if they don't report the transactions to the gov, and that's why most countries don't want to make it a legal trend.
...
People can use cash (national currency) to avoid taxes as well, but governments usually don't stop minting it. Many countries treat citizens like honest people and ask them to pay taxes from cryptocurrencies operating and I haven't heard they are dissatisfied with that. So I guess it is the problem with the government if it bases on idea that citizens don't believe it will spend money wise and that they don't trust it.
I would guess that cash would be limited because in most places you can't really get cash directly, like almost no workers would get cash, in my nation it is even illegal to pay salaries in cash, you have to put it in the bank.

It means that cash is a limited thing to get, it's a ton on excel sheets, if you look at it we have a lot of cash, but how much cash a regular person carries? All of that is just in the vaults of some banks and that's it. I am guessing that the point of the current situation is to make sure people do not hide their wealth, and not the wealthy, they just take their wealth to another nation, and hide their wealth, they do it for all of us that do not have that chance.
2302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 02, 2022, 08:39:11 AM
I'm wondering about Liverpool's performance in the second half of the season. They have been pretty consistent so far like they have nearly the same amount of wins, draws and losses. They couldn't win even half of their league games so far. Liverpool faced a similar situation in one of the past seasons and found a way to improve their form. This is another time they are expected to do the same. Klopp is one of the best managers not only in this league but also in the world. He has been quite successful with Liverpool so far also.

Of course there is no guarantee for any manager to keep up a good form every season. It is normal to see them having ups and downs also. The most important thing is to make the right moves and solve the problem in time. I believe in Klopp to do this. He has experienced every kind of incidents with this team so he should be able to fix this as soon as possible not to get away from top 4 more.
This international break is surely going to have good changes for many teams in UEFA because after this many players will be able to have their spots in big clubs which is going to have good for the improvement of performance and quality which is very important for them Liverpool is surely suffered from one of the worst time in their season and after break fans expecting good performance from them which is surely going to have good change for them even right now things are looking not easy but still they can change fortune and having positive results which will bring them to the good spot.

With few players are having good improvement and few new players are also important for having better end of this season after have one of the worst start of this season which is clearly indicating the change of players is must for the change of performance and having improvement in the league table.
2303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 01, 2022, 11:53:02 PM
I'm pretty sure that quite a lot of players who shine in this ongoing WC would start receiving offers from different clubs, Bruno Fernandez is one of such players that is currently shining at the WC with two goals and an assist and he and his country are already through to the RO16 of the WC, thus he still has a lot to offer before they are either eliminated or possibly win the trophy.

Having said that, Real Madrid is a dream club for every footballer, i do not know if they will make an offer for the Portuguese, but if they do it will be difficult for him to turn them down, Real have midfielders that are nearing the end of their playing time so it would make sense if they plan to sign Bruno, we'd have to wait till the WC is over to find out if this deal is possible or just a rumor.
Right now, many clubs are looking for the quality players, so this world cup could be the biggest opportunity for many players to give their best and their desired club in future which could be amazing stuff for them because this world cup is surely a big honour for many players as they are representing their countries and have good opportunity to give their best in front of millions fans, so things are looking very good for the Portuguese as he is the good player at Manchester United and now giving his best for Portugal which is giving him better opportunity to join this big brand in soccer world which could be life changer for him and his future.

Even right now nothing officially happening about this all because we can't give any positive news until end of this world cup and then in January transfer window is also good way for having any positive news about player and their future, hopefully after this world cup all will be clear.
2304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Solution to Address the Problem of Gambling in Australia. on: December 01, 2022, 11:31:22 PM
There will be illegal gambling operators who will continue to offer this kind of payment methods. It's not possible to block them all but I think the blocking will become more effective if it came directly from the issuer of those credit cards or to the banks. It's possible for them to monitor the activity of the card holder right? Once they spot a transaction which is related to gambling they need to do some punishments.

I don't know why it's consider a challenge for them when the lottery are affected on this propaganda. Is it because lottery is government based and this is helping in the economy of one's country? Lottery drawings doesn't happen often so it isn't addicting as other fast paced games. They can make an exception on this one.

This is not a financial trouble, this is a tragedy that someone died so young, it's a shame whenever there is an unlived life ending so soon, but it has nothing to do with business.

First of all, when you run such a huge company, you end up putting all the things into multiple hands in case anything happens, easiest to handle would be get 5 people together and make it only possible if at least 3 of them opens the wallet, and this would be the case here as well. You imagine CZ holds ALL coins of binance? Of course not. Just like how all other business are run, this is the same, you continue when one passes away, and that's a sad thing, and may take a while to recover, but will continue, or at least should.
2306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: December 01, 2022, 03:21:42 PM
if we talk about the two big clubs they are in the best zones this season but if for example we talk about Real Madrid at the moment Real Madrid the best player is Karim Benzema An injury that keeps him from participating in this year's World Cup, So Real Madrid now has to make a strategy to be able to win the Champions League. Manchester City is one of the candidates to actually win this year's championship but as far as I know Real Madrid has a strong ambition to be able to win the Champions League in 2022, but it's not that easy many European clubs want and make history in 2022, in my opinion it looks like Manchester City will not win the Champions League this year even if there is the best striker this season.
After end of group stage matches things are not clear how things will work into next round because we have few best matches which can change the momentum of this league with Liverpool vs Real Madrid and PSG vs Bayern Munich both are the toughest matches and winner from this match can go for the title race but as we have big upsets we can expect things like these again because Champions League will never be having love affair with performance is also depended on luck as well, so now we have to wait for the next movement from this round of 16 then surely many things could be clear, and we will have good view of teams.

In current season Napoli, Manchester City and Tottenham are also doing good job but still no one is sure how they will end because in last season we have same momentum for few teams and this was not clear with we ended Real Madrid as winner instead of teams from PSG, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
2307  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Will there ever be any safe centralised exchange ? on: December 01, 2022, 02:25:23 PM
The idea of a centralized exchange already tells you that it can't be safe forever. I mean there will always be attacks towards them so even if they are legit and not scamming website, they may get hacked eventually and that would be the problem for them.

I personally believe that DEX will grow bigger in the future because of this, because people can't really deal with this kind of behaviour forever, they need to realize that they can't make any problems with how it is and need to be a lot better in the long run and DEX is the way to go if you want to be more safe. That way, there is no funds in a centralized location to be hacked, and that's a better than right now.
2308  Economy / Economics / Re: Effect of Fake Bitcoins demand for the real One on: December 01, 2022, 08:11:52 AM
It wasn't the platform that buys btc but it was the people who sells their coin on the platform. There was a post here about that ftx hacker who allegedly trade the stolen coin into a token which name has a btc on it. Some says that it was some kind of a shit token or fake bitcoin as you name it.

The effect of it is that this shit token are going to pump and maybe there are people who will get tempted to buy it and then the hacker will dump it making those investors lose. Btc ath didn't extinct but the price only drop because of the bear market. Once this bear ends, you will see that btc will make a new ath again. Fake coins on the other hand might have some effect in btc but that was only small.
2309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 30, 2022, 05:15:41 PM
In the matches played last night, the surprise result was played between Dallas and Holden state and Dallas defeated Golden State 116-113 at home. At Golden State, Klay Thompson is back to score. In the game played the other day, the Los Angeles Lakers lost 1 point to Indiana at home. The stars of the Los Angeles Lakers gave the necessary contribution as a score, but they could not prevent the defeat. The Boston Celtics, on the other hand, are progressing in form.
It is not that much shocking considering Dallas has been great when Luka gets some help, and Luka has been playing at an MVP level as well, dude is young but he is a superstar for sure, whereas Warriors lack the defence they were so famously known for, and that causes them to lose some games, they might be the latest champions but this year hasn't been dominant at all.

I guess that Warriors would be in playoffs and would still be a title contender, but not as great as they used to be, there is a doubt over them and that matters. At the very least, I know I wagered on Dallas to win and that's a good thing, not really Dallas to win but basically "warriors not winning by 6 points" because of handicap and I won Cheesy.
2310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: November 30, 2022, 02:42:21 PM
@Tony116 I believe that PCB is at fault here for not grooming player’s well and not helping them cultivate the winning mentality which effects them when they play in important matches. Furthermore if PCB can sort out their issue's then Pakistan can dominate all format’s of cricket for a very long time, but in my personal opinion it’ll take few year’s before they can win matches/tournaments on the same level like Australia, England and team India do.
It is undoubtedly going to take time because Pakistan is not in a stable position from a political standpoint. And of course, the political situation of a country is far more complicated and consequential than cricket. Obviously, they should look to fix those problems first. A country gets recognized through cricket. But a country cannot even function properly without a stable political situation. And even with all those problems, I think Pakistan is doing quite well. But there is no doubt that they will have to do better if they want to compete at the top level.
This not only fits to Pakistan many other countries are also losing quality due to too much involvement of Franchise cricket which is all about power hitting instead of technique and skills just few countries are having level, but this is also far from which few have around 15 to 20 years back now it's all about money and time pass like Soccer players are doing in world in next few years things could be more the worst about the technique and quality of cricket because we have few big leagues are not attracting players in T10 league and The Hundred.

Pakistan's domestic setup is also not world-class even they have good funds and things to manage this but corruption which is the biggest issue in third world countries which preventing to have fair system and better things for bringing quality players in system whereas Australia and England are much stronger in this case.
2311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Bearish market the right time to buy coins? on: November 30, 2022, 11:14:43 AM
The more we bought the lower it got and this caused stress to so many people. I have been buying since it reached 40k and that's fine, sure I would have preferred if it didn't drop that much but what are you going to do? This means we are not really going to be changing anything major for the time being.

The best thing to do would be making sure that you are doing fine by holding, because if you are not hurt financially when prices go down, then you can hold on longer and if you can hold for years without trouble or issues in your normal life, that means you could make a huge profit. I personally would prefer that if possible and there are many out there who should too.
2312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: recommendation for gambling platform on: November 30, 2022, 07:46:35 AM
Hi guys currently I'm looking for a site to play using crypto since I've stocked up quite a bit any recommendations?
There is many casino or gambling site you can play gambling like you can bet on a live match or also playing casino you can earn good profit from these sites. But I suggest you can visit 1xBet site. This gambling is good from the other site and also easy to use from the other gambling site. You can withdraw your money instantly with minimum fees and also you can also check out its ANN Thread in gambling section.
Earn good profit from playing gambling huh? Well it only becomes true if we are lucky but most of the times it doesn't work like that. If we want to earn a good profit then there are activities that can provide that better ex. investing and trading. Not only that but the risk on them is also much lower because they aren't totally dependent on luck.

Gambling are only good if we want to chill up a bit. I just noticed that you suggested 1xbet. I wouldn't recommend this site from the op or to anyone else here because 1xbet do have a lot of bad feedbacks. We have so many gambling sites here with clean reputations so why can we just pick them up instead?

There are some talks about Sebastian Vettel taking a little break at first, but then becoming a team principle.

I know that Horner and Toto is solid at where they are and won't change, but if it is possible then Ferrari, or even Aston Martin that he left, or any other team that takes him could really have a huge chance. This dude is the epitome of a great driver who understands the car, like Lewis for example is a great racer, but he is great racer behind the wheel, but when he is out, he is just a fashion icon or whatever, whereas Vettel understands the car itself just like an engineer as well and that could really turn a team into a marvellous future if he can be hired.
2314  Other / Off-topic / Re: Increase in cost of running the family on: November 29, 2022, 08:38:03 PM
It's true that its a lot more than what it used to be, but so is our salaries as well just not enough. Maybe what you can do with 100 dollars back in the day could end up costing you 1000 dollars today, that's true, but your salary was 1000 dollars and now its 7000 dollars instead.

As you can see its not the same increase, so it is still a trouble but you still do earn more. What we need to figure out is how to stop the whole wealth to condense into a few names, if we do not have this many billionaires, then we wouldn't need this many people having a trouble. I always say that there should not be any billionaires in the world, that would save the problem for good, without a doubt.
2315  Economy / Economics / Re: Is a ban on Retirees Cypto Account a fair deal? on: November 29, 2022, 07:01:03 PM
Wouldn't it be better to let them know of crypto instead of outright banning it? It will protect them from crypto but pretty sure they can think for themselves, give them time to understand how crypto works and let them decide instead. It might even be more advantageous if they set up crypto investment plans together with regular investment plans instead.
With the case of FTX eating up retirement funds, well, that isn't even a crypto issue, it's just a centralized service fucking up and bringing down their customers with them, which can easily be avoided if one wants to.
I think those people already know crypto because they already have a crypto account. If there is one who must know and educate themselves more in crypto, that would be the one that will conduct a ban. They must know how useful crypto was, that it shouldn't be banned. Crypto helps protect people's money like for example in times of inflation. Cryptos are good for long term, especially for those who are working.

By the time, they want to retire their money have also grown a lot in crypto. Having a regular investment plan other than crypto is also a good idea. It works as a back plan in case something bad happens with our crypto investment even tho it's unlikely.
2316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 29, 2022, 05:09:21 PM
Do you also realise that the three players are in great form. They are all doing well with their country in the World Cup. This is a sign that they will come back more united and with alot of determination to win the Champions League.  I wish Neymar injury should heal fast and do not have much impact on him after the world cup.
I wish any of  them the world cup victory. I am hopeful that the world cup will return with Neymar or Mbappe.
I'm aware of their performances now yeah. Besides Neymar's condition doesn't seem that bad right now. He is expected to recover in only a few days. He just needs to be careful about not having a more serious injury until the end of the World Cup. PSG will need all of the players in the trio to do well in the Champions League.

Messi might return earlier than the other two I believe. Because Argentina don't seem to have a very reliable performance. Whenever they return PSG will need each one of them as healthy and fit to play for PSG without a problem.
Presence of these three players are surely amazing for any club with Mbappé and Messi both are doing amazing stuff in world cup as well but sadly right now things are looking not good for the Neymar who is injured, and we have no clear updates about his injury which is also not good even team officials consistently saying he will be available for the next round games but with footage and things are happening most chances he could be out of the world cup and this is also going to hurt his few matches in Ligue 1 as well because we have first match on 28th December so with this if he is not able to recover on time then he can miss, but surely this is not going to have any impact on PSG because they are having good replacements and their Champions League campaign is also not near so most chances PSG is not going to have any problem with this injury.

But Messi and Mbappé performance is surely big bonus for them because most chances after end of this world cup we are going to have extension talk from both parties and most chances Messi will accept this because he can do good here and things are also going into his favor.

This dip these days are what investors should used as an advantage to the market because of bad effect on the market. I would also tell those who are afraid of venturing into bitcoin investment to start holding as little as they can maybe $10 to $20 instead waiting for a total dip around $10k per BTC before bear would be over they might gotten some reasonable fraction from the dip.
Unfortunately they don't. The reason why it's low is the fact that they are not taking advantage of this drop, if they did then we wouldn't have this drop and that is the key point here. There is of course a reality behind it where it would have to be a bit difficult to handle if we are talking about just sellers, there are of course some buyers out there as well but there are more people selling at certain price than buyers, which causes it to drop in price.

So, it is clear that we are talking about people who are not buying as they should right now, most are selling it. It is fine though, their loss is our future gains and that is why I am feeling comfortable about it.

Well, I have the faithful hope that in Betfury they will do something very good with the soccer world cup, they will take advantage of the good promotion that can be done through the world cup, and that is something that can hook many players, (including me)

but they are already doing something good, for example:



" FREE Predictors Event " is simply an excellent opportunity for people to win money without spending money, I particularly wanted to enter this competition, but when I try to log in to the casino it says: " login blocked " I do not know if this is due to the fact that I having spent a long time (maybe more than 7 months) without having logged in, anyway, I don't want to have more headaches so I prefer to leave it like that, on the day that I need to use the site then I will contact support so that they can solve this problem, but for people who have a chance to enter the site, they can take advantage of this great opportunity
There are some situations in gambling where casinos offer something in return of nothing, and those are the big ones that people could win so much, because the aim is to get as many people as possible to register and that means it's going to be a bit of them coming back and in the long run casinso could make a profit. Assume 10+ thousand people joined, and 100 of them stayed, would it be possible that they would spend 10+ thousand dollars in their life time? Maybe, it's a possibility.

And meanwhile we could take advantage of this and stay and gamble, and there is a huge chance that whoever wins may end up just gambling that away too, so it's really a great chance for both the casino and the gamblers.
2319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Zero KYC tolerance gambling platforms on: November 28, 2022, 08:14:22 PM
All gamblers can choose a gambling platform without any requirements related to identity or the casino has followed the requirements of the regulator, but we are talking about data protection and fair play, then if you find a casino that is completely anonymous and meets both criteria then it's your decision, but many top casinos must follow the rules of the regulations but not strictly require KYC for all users but only for high withdrawals, high wins, suspected money laundering and others.
That's true because as gamblers who don't want to do KYC, we have freedom in choosing the casino. If, later on, the casino asks us to do KYC on our way to gamble, we can move to another casino that doesn't ask us to do KYC. Besides that, I'm sure those of us who have been playing gambling for a long time must have had many casino choices that don't require KYC to be made on their users. But if we are fine with doing KYC on the casino site we use, we can do it immediately if the casino asks for it.
But what if you already have a balance on that gambling site and suddenly you are being asked to do a KYC? I think it's hard to decide on this one if we will just leave our funds on that casino and find another non KYC casino or we will swallow our pride and took the challenge. This is usually the case that happens. I think this one is not fair.

A professional casino should warn their costumers before they deposit or play if KYC is needed later on or not so that the people can decide if they will continue or not. Your long term experience in gambling has nothing to do with the casino that ask a KYC or not because their policy can always change.

actually I'm interested in the free spins no deposit promotion, but unfortunately it doesn't apply to my country and I can't access the page to register an account there, but whatever it is nice to see a lot of new casinos coming to this forum, welcome  Wink
Who wouldn't be when that sounds free money? But don't regret just yet because promotions like this are also not easy to fulfil but they usually come up with crazy wagering requirements. What about using a VPN? Maybe you can ask the op if it's allowed because I know that some sports betting site or casino sites allow it when some of their users experience an issue like the one that they are saying there where the sign up button is missing.

We don't know maybe it was only just a glitch and we can fix it by the time we use a VPN but I too like to welcome the OP. I hope they will level up their promotions by availing some campaigns and forum adverts in the forum. That should surely help them to grow bigger.
