41  Economy / Gambling / Re: Seuntjies DiceBot -Multi-Site, multi-strategy betting bot for dice. With Charts! on: May 22, 2019, 04:26:23 PM
Flashbet is mostly about people who want to get a quicker wagered amount at high levels, its not about losing or winning that much, you can bet 1 satoshi on 99% win chance and just roll 1000 in couple seconds and all of a sudden you have over 1000 satoshi rolled with probably very few losses, it helps you get a great wagered amount on the website and get recognized.

However, when it comes to dicebot it is really not comparable, its mostly like the autobet bots on the websites, if the autobet bots on casinos were enough already then there wouldn't be any seuntjie bot at all, but since we are here and it is still used by many it clearly shows that autobet bots are not enough and lack a lot of features hence why the flashbets will not be favored by people who use seuntjie bot to bet.
42  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲EOSBet.io - Licensed Casino Platform 🎲Provably Fair 🎲NOW ACCEPTING BTC ₿ on: May 21, 2019, 06:25:48 PM
Game-protect keeps on attacking eosbet for what the "users" say instead of what actual eosbet says, there are plenty of stuff to give feedback on it instead of attacking the users.

The great thing about eosbet is its literally decentralized, so even if the team wants to change something in the game, they can't, not like provably fair proof type of deal, literally they have no control over to even give proof it is provably fair, it is so much out of their reach, which is why I am always incredibly sad to see that people focus on dividends and the bet token, that will eventually end, people will be able to sell their bet tokens and all, there will be 100% mined one day, so that topic should not be the main discussion, this is a casino and the casino aspect of it is rarely ever talked.
43  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When do ETH and LTC catch up to BTC? on: May 21, 2019, 05:38:12 PM
to be able to catch up bitcoin ,is less likely but what I see now is that the price of ethereum has started to rise from before even though there is a slight decrease, expect ethereum to go up again and be at the highest price
Ethereum is the only project that I see continue to rise sometime even when bitcoin is declining, this shows that ethereum really has a very good working products, but despite this, ETH can still not meet with BTC. Even those projects that are built on ethereum smart contract only follows bitcoin in its increase, I have never seen  any of them follow ethereum bull run, mostly they all depend on bitcoin bull including the shitcoins.

It shows that a king will always be a king even if we really don’t know why bitcoin increase affects other altcoins increase, because my believe initially is that they have their own different function and product they present to the world is what should make their value appreciate.

I don't really know why you decided to focus your articles on ripple, what do you really see in this coin, or are you a fan and hoping that there is going to be a moon in the price of the coin, well I am sure enough that there is going to be a moon because of their commitment towards there project even though a lot of persons in the Crypto community don't like their project since it's very much centralized and not decentralized.
I am suspecting that ripple is seriously doing some underground work by putting so much dollars in people’s pocket to create the hype for them because I am so surprised at the rate at which I have been seeing lots of hype on ripple lately, and I have gone to check if they have any new technology added or any new feature but found none.

Anyway its good for those who likes a centralized system, the market is bug for everyone, so their community should continue promoting them, everyone with what satisfies them, as for me and my family, we are so satisfied with our bitcoin and would not pay a dome attention to coins like ripple.
45  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What information does the participation in the airdrop focus on this currency? on: May 21, 2019, 12:37:57 PM
Do you often participate in airdrops? What information will you care about? Is it on the exchange? What is the price of the currency? what is this else? What do you think the airdrop activities of the project are doing well?
Most of the coin in the market that gives out airdrops turns out to be shitcoin because any thing given out for free to people is not really valued by those it was given to, this is why it is good for them to carry out some task before the coin is being rewarded to them, and one thing you should know is that only 1 in every 30 airdrop that actually gets to pay you something reasonable when they get into the Crypto market so you just have to be ready to do trial and error to be able to earn from airdrop.
The way we have ICO projects that are bad is the same way we have bad airdrops, but it doesn’t now mean that we still don’t have the good ones, we have, and they are still quite much in the market.

It is just left to us to really develop a strategy that will help us in discerning projects that are good for us to participating in, instead of participating in them randomly and hoping that 1 out of the many we have worked on will work. We have to consider our time, because time is also an investment, this is why it becomes very necessary for us to really research on these projects before making any move on them.
46  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [HELP] distribution of tokens on: May 21, 2019, 11:28:37 AM
what is the most interesting and safe way to distribute token example (erc20) so that it does not have high dumping in exchange?
I still don’t see much strategy that will effectively curb the dumping of token at this present stage, because to stop dumping, it really requires change of mentality.

Most investor’s mentality now is that all projects are just there to collect money and have nothing much to offer, so all they just do is also to use the project to make little money when they enter exchange.

Any investor now, is solely going for profit on his investment the moment they enter exchange, no matter how little it is, and this is what usually cause dumping, so in order to effectively correct this, it means the product must really have a solid product that is self-convincing. This is the only way they can believe in the future of the project and not dump.
47  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia to replace USD reserves with Bitcoin on: May 21, 2019, 10:37:57 AM
Due to US sanctions , Russia may well start to invest its reserves in Bitcoin. Ive heard this rumour for months, but it looks more and more logical and likely.

https://toshitimes.com/russia-plans-to-replace-u-s-dollar-with-bitcoin/

This article sums it up pretty well and if it does become true, it will surely bring a very strong bullish trend .



For a country or government, i am little doubt about this news. Bitcoin could be a digital asset but to be government reserve, i think its too far and need more time because for government, its more safe to collect more gold than bitcoin. Bitcoin is risky assets compare gold and gold already known for centuries
Take volatility out and bitcoin becomes the best digital asset to hold but because of its volatile nature, Gold still the most reliable one temporarily. So Russia may have the plan to also hold it as asset against the future if they believe strongly in the system, but like you said, it will be bit impossible to hold it as reserve.

When it comes to something that has to do with national issue, one man cannot make such decision alone, and I am sure that In making decision to do so, a lot of members of government will surely oppose it, and until there is general regulation, countries may not fully engaged themselves with crypto.
48  Economy / Economics / Re: Starbucks, Nordstrom And Whole Foods Now Accept Bitcoin on: May 21, 2019, 09:10:11 AM
This will make bitcoin price more stable but still tend to rise. I think people enthusiast to use bitcoin at starbucks will be big so it can be very big help to spread word about bitcoin. I personally want to feel the sensation to use btc at starbucks, it seems that it would be great. But this is the time to hold bitcoin, so it seems that I will not spend my bitcoin now.
Large firms like this using bitcoin payment system is really a very good way to create awareness to the public, because in every  advert they do, most of them mentioned accepted payments, where they mention, cash, MasterCard and now bitcoin will be added to the list of payment as they constantly run their jingles.

One other thing this development will also create is demand, because what drives the value of bitcoin up is demand, the more people use bitcoin for payment in this company, the more there will be  a demand for bitcoin, which will cause the price of bitcoin to keep appreciating.
49  Economy / Economics / Re: Price of goods goes up, salary never goes up!!! on: May 21, 2019, 07:45:26 AM
talk about economy many think can affects the price of goods. lately the price of goods in some countries has soared high, the worst example is Venezuela, the currency is worthless because of inflation.
the fact is that workers' salaries rarely rise and the price of goods increases. even though in our country inflation impact  is still small and the price of goods is still affordable. this problem is the government duty make the price of goods is stable, and the worker's slaries get increased.
Salary increase is not the problem, but the inflation is what needs to be tackled, even if they increase salary today and they don’t tackle inflation first, the next generation will still complain about this, and if we are to be fair in our judgment, it is not like salaries are not being increase at all, but the challenge is the more they increase salary, the more market sellers too increase their own price.

Until our price control regulatory body really becomes functional before we can be able to cure inflation and make our salary enough.

In my country, I have people that will buy something for like $1 and then inflate the price to about $50, and someone who earns salary of $30 would find it difficult it purchase, meanwhile, his $30 would have been able to buy it too if he were to go directly to the source, things like this must be controlled.
50  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to win in Freebitco.in on: May 20, 2019, 09:16:48 AM
Yeah, 4 or 5 losses is nothing when you look at the streaks of losses some people had. There was a discussion about the same thing on the real freebitcoin topic where someone lost about 20 times in a row I guess and dude was angry and calling freebitcoin scammers for something like that and thequin basically explained that in 5 thousand bets there is a 20%+ chance to hit 20 losses in a row.

So, losing 4 or 5 is nothing compared to that, it happens quite frequently. People are mistaking their strategy for a blueprint of winning but as long as there is a house edge there is literally no way you can make money with any strategy. You may win or lose based on luck, you can have multiple wins in a row as much as you have losses in a row and if you stop at the right time you will be profiting but there is no way to guarantee a win.
51  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win a Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2!! on: May 18, 2019, 11:22:52 AM
@kakmakr something similar happened to me Cheesy. My uncle worked for a car show company and he had access to the greatest cars in our country, he was allowed to use all "show" cars which were not on sale but just there for show off for the potential customers, customers looked at those cars test those cars and basically check it out but when they wanted to buy it the company gave them a brand new one from the garage. So, my uncle gave me the keys to Mercedes amg on my 18th birthday, not to actually own it but like "here use this until they take it back" type of deal and it literally stayed idle for 4 months Cheesy I never got my license, I am 30 now and I still don't have my license Cheesy.
A Mercedes for your 18th birthday? Damn. A huge opportunity missed out. I would ride that beauty like there was no tomorrow even if it was on borrowed time. Am a big fan of sports cars myself though I never was presented with such an opportunity sadly.
Yeah, but I wasn't really into driving cars in general, not just Mercedes or sports car and what not but I still do not like driving cars at all, I do not even have a license. I just like to take the metro lines which is usually everywhere and takes you to wherever you want, cars for some reason makes me uncomfortable.

I didn't drive it back then and I still do not drive anything right now. I actually take real long walks whenever I can because even if takes over 30 minutes to walk somewhere, if I have the time I do that since it is really relaxing and the best type of meditation I know.

I realize that was a chance not many people will have and I was lucky at the time but like I said if I could win this lottery I would get the 200k as well because lambo worth less than 100 bucks to me, I would literally accept 100 dollar payment instead of a lambo huracan to be honest with you.
52  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which unique factor makes crypto exchange a reliable choice to start trading? on: May 17, 2019, 05:06:06 PM
I think "trust" is the most important factor. You may not know what constitutes a trust but that changes from person to person. For example I may trust somewhere very hardly and I would have to wait until they are literally on business for over 2 years and only tested out by someone I know and actually do trades and deposits and withdraws multiple times and see their complaints and how they resolve it and their issues with hackers and how they fix it and so forth. However, you may say "well they have a nice name" and suddenly start doing business there and keep doing business there.

For example, even I am personally different on two different exchanges, one is the altcoin exchange binance which I stopped using right now and moved to idax because of one hack issue, whereas my fiat currency to bitcoin exchange that I use locally literally has 22 bitcoin daily volume, they are really small and I still like them.
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SEC Now Seeks Public Opinion On ETF! What Would This Mean? on: May 17, 2019, 09:49:41 AM
Well, it takes time to really make decision that would affect the whole world, they have to be extremely sure that whatever decision they make is being backed by the society so that if anything goes wrong with the approval, they will not be blamed alone for not considering the opinion of the majority of people that are directly involved.

So let’s not get too agitated, one thing I know is time will tell, it is either they say yes to ETF, if they say yes, good for us, and if they say no, I still don’t see much issue with that because with or without the support of SEC, cryptocurrency will still continue to grow.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how can i trust new platforms? on: May 17, 2019, 08:18:10 AM
Now a days so many spam coins in the market . I'm varied to invest

Its true, too many altcoin in market and the amount more than 2100 in coinmarketcap. Better choose altcoin with good daily transaction volume and i think choosing top 100 coinmarketcap is good investment
Honestly, that is just too much for the present crypto community to manage, no wonder why majority of them are not just thriving again, because they might not get very strong community to back them up, since majority or the community would rather back up coins that are within the TOP 50 to 100 coins in the market.

I just think there is need for these projects to be limited for now till probably we have more adoption of cryptocurrency, otherwise, most new projects will just keep wasting money in creating the projects as investors no longer pay much attention to project that doesn’t have a very strong convincing products and team members.
55  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: May 17, 2019, 05:06:55 AM
I think we clearly saw all effects of resting period from the bucks vs raptors game. Bucks rested a lot before this game and raptors just finished their 7th game this Sunday so they could be even still tired from it. Bucks started not that well because they have rested so much and had to gain their senses back and get their groove back which took some time and it always happens for teams that rested too much compared to their competition.

On the other hand Raptors came out of a victory and they were looking to keep that streak alive to gain the momentum. Bucks however gathered together on the fourth quarter and not just because raptors got tired but they literally played better on the fourth quarter as well from gaining their groove back whereas raptors were tired and they were playing games too close to each other so the 4th quarter became a lot harder for them.
56  Economy / Gambling / Re: SafeDICE.com ★ Bitcoin Dice ★ Monero ★ 0.5% Edge ★ Fast Cashout ★ Since 2014 on: May 16, 2019, 10:17:03 AM
NOBODY SHOULD DEPOSIT TO THIS WEBSITE. Guys if you lack reading skills there is absolutely nothing we can do for you but if you think this could be one of your favorite websites then you can literally play anywhere that claims they are legit scams and you will like that too.

This place has been afk for a while now and there is nobody at the helm, which means the cold storage is literally locked in somewhere nobody can reach and owner is said to be in jail and only the hot wallet is available which only works when someone deposits money, as soon as you deposit money you are risking never getting it back ever again. Until the owner gets out of jail and fixes this situation (and even after that) you should not play here because its riskier than even a legit scam website.
57  Economy / Gambling / Re: ★★★ Bitcoin Video Casino ★★★ - ||| Over 500 BTC in Progressive Jackpots! ||| on: May 16, 2019, 09:28:24 AM
Yeah, the email is not really a big thing, its not like KYC where you have to share all your sensitive personal information with the casino which unfortunately many casinos require right now and I hate that, you never know which one will want it neither, you deposit your money and then all of a sudden they ask for it, as soon as I am capable of withdrawing my money from those places I do because I do not want my information on their hands.

However, email is simply.. well email, it has no personal information at all and I can literally create a brand new email right now to give to bitcoin video casino and just use it purely for them. I do not believe they will share it with others but even if they do its not a big deal since its just email. People still do not see email as something personal, neither do I, so even if you share 1 more satoshi than normal via email I wouldn't mind sharing at all.
58  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dont be dumb gamblers on: May 16, 2019, 08:57:39 AM
We can’t assume is  greed. Not everyone is greedy to lose money in gambling; at times it could be a mistake. It’s possible that his friend didn’t even take note of the site his opening or he just clicked on a site mistakenly. There are so many scam sites out there and I have been a victim, so I can tell that not all loses are due to greed, although I know perfectly that greed is a problem that causes most losses in gambling.

My suggestion is for everyone to always go through reviews before gambling on a site, don’t be too convinced that a site is genuine because of the bonus offers or whatsoever they have to offer. It is also important to be careful while browsing through the internet, to avoid clicking on wrong sites.
How can his friend not take note of a site opening, is he a newbie in gambling and what the smartness we preach here always is. It is very clearing this case that the young man was greedy and I can say this without mincing words that if we dig deep, we would always realize that of 1 to 10 scam issues that happens in gambling, there is always an atom of greed on the side of the player.

Let him that have ears hear, if anyone fails to go through reviews, check out familiar websites in gambling and do a proper research before gambling, they should be held responsible for their action and learn to put blames on themselves.
59  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price and Binance on: May 16, 2019, 08:02:23 AM
Let me say my prayer “I am a bitcoin believer; I refuse to give in to evil thoughts”. I call it evil thought because I really don’t want to think the unimaginable thing that could happen to bitcoin if this increase is really as a result of Binance stopping deposit and withdrawal.

First we need to look at what value BTC was before this incidence, and if Binance were to release their system again, then we will be getting back to a value a little bit above that. But it’s just an unreasonable assumption, it would be impossible for it to have any effect on bitcoin price, I think this surge is just a normal investment surge.
60  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reaching $7000 so can we confirm the bull run? on: May 16, 2019, 07:13:42 AM
We can't confirm that we're on the bull run period Bitcoin is just still on the process of recovering. It has to go higher before we could confirm that the bull run is really here. However, I belueve that good days are really comming for us since Bitcoin has even reached $8k which is surprising.
The price achieved is not surprising, but the length of time it was achieved, that's surprising.
Prepare for the pull, possible daw, but don't panic, instead by the dip again as eventually bitcoin will rise because of the bull run.
From the time of $5000 spike was when I totally knew that the bulls were present, they only tested the market that first of April to really be sure how people will also respond, I am glad I followed my instinct to invest then, which I stopped following those that were predicting price dumping back to $3500 when it was at $4800.

People who were speculating a very big dump then have now joined in the league of those who are rushing to buy the coin now after they have also fully confirmed that we are now in the bull market, so there is no possibility of ever going back to bear’s price till we finish with this round.
