321  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin all time high, is it ETF effects or pre halving cycle on: March 11, 2024, 05:11:13 PM

But if we are honest, going above the previous ATH is not really that impresive, as almost all the forum members expected for this to happen, the surprising thing during this cycle is the speed at which this is happening, since the halving has not taken place yet and a new ATH has been reached already.

It wasn’t surprising because the hype that would drive the whole trend was spotted right from the long term. If you look at the whole of last year it was overall a bullish year which wasn’t the case for other previous year to the bitcoin halving year. The most obvious reason was when the hype was at its peak in the end of 2023 which base on past trends was supposed to be a bearish period but ETF saga pumped the market and it continue until it’s approval this year. Some investors like myself were expecting a heavy correction then especially with the $50k price broken but it was just a day correction. After That I was definitely expecting ATH before halving
Well alot os happening with bitcoin price already after Bitcoin have broken the last bitcoin all time high price,  which is a significant milestone achievement for this season and as a pro bitcoin halven gift for it holders,  Bitcoin have consistently continue to push toward and uptrend market arena until the halving when we may see a real bull run that will take the market and investors by surprise.

This time around,  bitcoin may double it all time high price and at some point even going close to somewhere around $200k before the end of the year 2024.

only those who used what they can't afford to lose to gamble are the one who makes noise over every little lost just as me.
For example, when a gambler loses an amount he can afford to lose there is no need complaining about it openly because it is something they are used to and have prepared for mentally before it happened.

You are correct before anyone goes into gambling they should be prepared about gambling like the lost and how much they could be able to lose to reduce much worrying whenever the games didn't go as they planned, let say for instance drake has already been used to losing money and as well winning money more often than someone who can't lose huge money and whenever it happens they go out complaining about what they have lost without knowing that while gambling they will only gamble with what they can afford to lose.
I don't know why we are discussing about this things,  because we already know who Drake is and his amount of wealth and how influencing he person have been,  so for such a person,  losing such an amount is not a big deal for him and at that he should be fine,  since many times,  he have won higher amount than what he lost without the news carrying it,  so good luck to him in his next bets because surely there will be more.

But then also I believe that Drake have followed the odds if not how can he bet anything against the great Anthony Joshua who is a title holder in the industry.

Time is transforming and a lot of things are changing and this will change a lot of things in the way and manner in which we gamble,  take for example during the covid19 lot of people discovered things that they never previously discovered and this helped in many significant ways,  so same is the development and advancement in various ways and areas,  many will follow suit and a lot will come along the ways.

As we can see a lot of development and progress have been made in various ways and for that many of us will be glad to see a more expanded gambling scene in the future with new and improved technology that gives gamblers more freedom and expectations to push for the future.
324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About running an online casino vs an offline casino on: March 11, 2024, 04:40:52 PM
I have been thinking about this a lot now and today again, I did the same, it's probably the right time to pour out my mind to my family on this forum, hope in return to get some great answers.

I know that it's not easy to run a casino, hire workers and some professionals and others, my question is. ....

1. Is running offline casinos the same as running an online casino?
Not the same,  offline casino is based on physical structures and really time human activities with physical attention,  and in offline casinos,  you need to have a building structure depending on the capacity you want to operate on,  and also hire physical staffs and operators.

But online casinos don't require that,  all that it takes is software as no need for physical structures,  so both are operated on different mood.
Quote
2. What do online casinos have to lose if they aren't making as much money as they intended?
The lose revenue, also don't think that online casinos don't requires funding to keep it running live online,  it does and most times you even pay more than the physical casinos.

And again cost of games providers and domain is there to take revenue away.
Quote
3. With online casinos, isn't the number of hiring being limited compared to someone who wants to run an offline casino?
Not at all,  it depends on the team mentality and how their chose to spread their limits.
Quote
4. Which one is more easier to manage than the other?
For me none is easier,  because both online and offline casinos requires consistency and alot of works to keep them running.
Quote
And the last question is, which one would you go for if you have the resources?
Don't know yet.
325  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: best way to exchange token to eth on: March 11, 2024, 04:27:56 PM

i just googled xyo to eth and it was one of the first links.

Kucoin o Coinbase supports xyo or chsb?
They need KYC to use it?
Yes both Coinbase and Kucoin are centralized exchanges and demand for KYC since it is part of the regulatory compliance for centralized exchanges.

I advise you to go along with what you already have and Simpleswap or any of the popular Dex will and should do what you want at the moment,  so all the best and do extra research before you use them.
326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you prefer betting your own predictions or from prediction site on: March 11, 2024, 04:20:06 PM
There are gamblers who have great instincts and can forecast games that may end up winning the bet. But they are scared that they may lose. They dont trust their own betting predictions so they would rather go to a gambling prediction site to some daily betting tips.

So i want to know as a gambler that you are, do you feel following those betting predictions from those sites would favour us in gambling more than our own predictions? For me i trust my predictions and i have won more when i predict for myself than letting someone predict for me.

When I have a lot of money and I am in a winning run I believe my predictions and I don't care about what other tipping services are saying.However this happens rarely for me to be in a winning run,most of the time I have losing consecutive sessions and sadness get the best out of me.It is exactly in this moment that I love to watch and follow many tipping site services,most of them free as I don't believe in expert predictions with money,I believe no one is smart enough to know the future so they ask for money for their predictions yet I like to see some free tipping sites and maybe as I said follow one or some bets of them,usually only in football.
For me I don't take Tips Stars seriously this is because most of the time we all still arrive at the same thing when it comes to betting is is that,  after selecting your games predictions no matter how smart and skillfully you select them,  at a last point,  you will still depends on luck to measure your outcome,  and that is why most times,  luck becomes the fundamental thing,  and in just a few occasions will a gambler be able to win based on their own skills.

Although there are games you can use skills to win,  such games as in house games but even at that, in-house games have that house edges that limit your winning chances,  so for sure there is nothing like a sure bet,  any bet can either win or lose just as any team can win and lose at the same time.

So when I want to bet I don't take any other third-party game predictions and selections,  all I focus on is how to measure my own risk and take chances.

Once it comes to learning, the development of technology has advanced for the use of internet for learning, whereby we can easily got the required information needed by us through the use of the internet, all these will facilitate the way we learn and how we develop our own gambling strategies, we can also learn from those around us in building the best experience we want to have with gambling while having fun.
Of the truth,  internet have helped to improve the way human learns and adopt to things more than the circular schools itself,  and for the short period of time that internet has been around, its impact is almost up to 80% in the overall learning speed of the 21st century.

There is no need to mention the various ways and tools that come along with the internet,  and how those tools have helped in various sectors of human civilization and ways of doing things,  we have such as the AI which is a hype of the moment that makes the way we work changes and imimprovesur sufficiency,  this and many more other developments have done same,  another vital factor is online gambling and betting, the internet has brought the casinos closer to us more than before and what we use to have in the past,  now we can bet in private and also receive our rewards without anyone knowing,  this is what we call stressless gambling no need to visit the betting shop or casinos,  you can do that from the comfort of your home all with the help of the internet.
328  Economy / Gambling / Re: Share trusted VPN Friendly crypto casinos on: March 11, 2024, 03:27:20 PM
If we are to even consider the replies on this thread on recommendations for the platforms that accept the use of VPN, I don't think there are suggestions made and if any at all, they are not many, gambling platforms don't usually demand or take in the use of VPN for their website, but Incase we see some that allow for that, maybe they are just new in the business or doesn't have enough resources to employ for the measures that take care on that.
Aside from the regulatory reasons that make casinos to turn down VPN usage, other factors also discourage the use of VPN such as its effect on the loading speed of the site and how VPN also affect some game functionality on the casino, these things contribute to why those casinos never allow VPN in general or why gamblers do not see VPN usage as something attractive.

If not,  most of the casinos are VPN-friendly and do not mind gamblers who have verified accounts using VPN to bypass any restrictions if need be at some point.
329  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: March 11, 2024, 03:05:16 PM
We have seen Bitcoin reach 70k USD and it even reached a point of 71k briefly. We are seeing history being made right here with the new all time high being set once again and it is happening even before halving.
Bitcoin reaches $72350. It is now at $71490

I have high expectations that bitcoin will reach 100k but will it reach 100k without any major decline in price? Does it seem realistic that from 70k, bitcoin will continuously rise up?
Do not expect the price to just be going higher. You can see when it reached all-time-high, it fall to $59100. When it reached $70000, it fall to around $62000. The thing is just hold until it get to $100000 even if there is any decline, the increase will be more.
This is the usual price movement pattern in bitcoin all through history,  when bitcoin reaches it all time high,  it will drop back significantly,  but what make Bitcoin all time high different this time os in the new trend that bitcoin is holding on to,  as in Bitcoin resistant level is so high that when it did the 72k ATH,  it fall back but not down below 70k which Bitcoin recover back quickly which indicates alot of buying pressure,  and also a tendency of continues up trend movement.

Just as a few other members have mentioned,  Bitcoin building up to 100k may not be speedy,  but that is where the price is heading to right now and for that, we may have to acknowledge the fact that,  even though there may be instances where the price may decline down a bit,  but achieving 100k on the long run is what we are close to at the moment and 100k may become the new all-time high.
330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just hold in patience, nothing can stop the raging bull when it comes on: March 11, 2024, 12:17:26 PM
The best way to stay away from untimely loses is to always be ready to look away from every market manipulations and hold for long terms basis because if you believe so much in bitcoin current market at whatever time, which are just temporary price changes,  and those changes will only make the bitcoin speculation to be exciting most especially for those who understands the DCA approach.

But for long term holders they have gain alot and are still holding since the investment formula since the have a time frame for the investment to materialise,  one needs to lock the bitcoin for a period of time before he takes his profits.
331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: March 11, 2024, 12:02:04 PM

Well in my own opinion I think it depends, reason been that their are some people who has experience in gambling and also familiar with the betting options. their are also some people who doesn't have experience at all talk more of knowing the betting options, they always end up making the wrong selections, reason is because they don't even understand anything in gambling. probably they can just decide to give it a try,this set of people can only win in gamble if luck is on their side.
Yes gambling is a game of luck and skills,  because not all gambling games depends on poor luck to win them,  some games don't come out based on uncertainty which makes them be categorized as luck, that kind of game always results based on the individual contributions in terms of skills and experience of the gambler,  many times games are based on skills and experience and just less luck is needed.

But above all,  life is all about luck and so is gambling even if you think your skills can enhance such an experience,  this is why we have to rely on the two of them to have a better gambling experience at the end of the day.
332  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: March 11, 2024, 11:41:48 AM
The only difficult thing is that it is very unpredictable, so you will be gambling a bit, especially if you have no idea about football teams.
Because it's also an advantage if you have an idea or know about football game teams, right?
Let me tell you the truth,  no one can predict a football match outcome based on the team's ability or previous statistics to make your judgement on how good the team will be and at winning,  this knowledge has changed a lot for me lately and that is why,  I don't bet along team line but just giving predictions based on the chance and that is why I mostly predict on live games,  that way you can based your decisions on current happening in and events in the match as it progress.

For the fact that football matches don't follow particular patterns,  it becomes easy to speculate based on the event at hand and we have to accept that fact and take less risk while gambling on sports.
Quote
So other gamblers who have an idea about football teams are the ones who have a high chance of winning when they bet on which team they think will actually win.
Even with all the ideas,  you are not guarantee a win when if the luck is not on your side all the time,  because just a simple mistake from the players can spoil the whole process.

I know one casino explicitly claiming to be "VPN friendly" here, it's what they claim in the title of their ANN and their signature at least, it's Empire casino.
They use to be pretty active here with many special Bitcointalk promotions, but they are less present nowadays. I used a VPN few times there in order to be able to play to some games not available from my country and I didn't get bad surprises.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5464593 https://archive.is/uEU8j
Many casinos don't care if you use a VPN tbh, but if you get a big win they can oppose it to you in order to refuse to give your winnings.
I almost forgot about Empire casino back in the 2022-2023, their used to be so active and for that, they generated a lot of visibility for the brand but right now they are less active but the casino is still very much active I used it few weeks back and the site is still accessible so for that even though the have limited visibility here in the forum,  but the site is still up and running and we have to give it up to them for that,  it far much better to have a working casino that building a name for yourself but at the end of the day become inactive with the service,  we have a few casinos that ended up like that in the past and the outcome wasn't good for customers.

So if anyone is looking foraea  VPN-friendly casino you can have more confidence in those that promote VPN acceptance than in those casinos that have undefined stands on VPN.

335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 10, 2024, 11:50:38 PM
Arsenal fans shouldn't celebrate too soon,  because the position they occupy right now is just by chance and hard it has been that either of the clubs between Manchester City vs Liverpool won the match it would have been a different outcome for them in a whole new level,  so I am sure that the first position the occupy is just temporarily and won't take long before Assrnal get dispose from that position,  so for now,  I don't see why Arsenal fans are celebrating,  because in the next few days,  that position will be competed for and the club that best for that will climb back and possibly end the season as the title holder. W

Wow.. Why wailing on the Arsenal club for their very wonderful job so far? If all you're focusing on is criticizing Arsenal, then it's evident you're biased and not supportive of their chances in the league. However, let me remind you that this wouldn't be the first time Arsenal has won the Premier League.

They have the track record, the credentials, and the momentum to win such matches. So if Arsenal is performing well now, it's only fair to give them credit.

The truth is, that staying at the top is challenging, as evidenced by recent draws for both Manchester City and Liverpool. Everyone aims to be the league champion, highlighting the difficulty of maintaining that position. it's important to acknowledge and commend deserving teams like Arsenal, rather than dismissing their achievements prematurely.
Is not as if I am underrating Asernal ability to sustain the first position they currently occupy in the first place,  but the fact remains that,  judging from previous experience from such games and situations,  Asernal have always shown a lot of lack of consistency in this kind of situations and for that,  we tend to lose faith in their ability to indeed finish strong when the climb to that position by accident and not by work of the team efforts.

So for sure,  Asernal with all the previous premiere leagues' success records,  still needs a lot of effort to but back the trust of fans and football spectators to believe in their ability this time,  because the main fight just began for Asernal so for that,  this is not the time for Arsenal fans to be celebrating as if there have already won the league title already just because there just top the table for the first time in this season.

Hello Bitcointalk community,


Glad to be back for another peek. It's been awhile. I used to be active back in 2013/14. It's been exactly 10 years since I found a major exploit in a bitcoin casino and abused it to accumulate over $1M+ back in 2014.


Thought it would be fun to do an AMA, might be interesting for the community  Wink
Op what really happened that you are coming back with a new face, new voice and new username? Even if you forget your login details you would not forget your email address which you can use it to reset your password by just a click of the forgotten password and the link would be sent to your email address and there you could reset your password and get. Well you welcome back to the forum again front long lasting break. You can still win again by visiting this casino to have fun https://www.crashino.com/en?affiliateid=atRK8sNdECLEhJXWz-b9G2Nd7ZgqdRLk. Enjoy yourself in your stay.
Well, I don't think the ops want to come out with his original account to make such a statement and if he claimed to have an old account here in the forum,  that could either be another possible lie or even the old account got caught up in some offence that destroyed the old account and he can use it to spread this kind of unhealthy promotions,  so for that,  I suggest not wasting your time to outline all this possible ways for him to get the account recovered and reactivated at a point.

Anyone that truly fines an abuse in a casino,  and thereafter goes on to abuse such a bug to their own advantage can't be trusted.
337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A personal view on: March 10, 2024, 11:22:52 PM
I do not gamble with debt and that's what I will never do and the same goes for investing. Investing and gambling with the use of debt is a big no for me.

I might understand if people who own businesses and they're asking for loans for expansion and more inventories as that's needed for them to cope with demand.

But in gambling it's different, that's why I'll never do that. I'm more comfortable to gamble with my own money so even if I lose, I have no obligation to pay anyone.
No sane person will gamble with loan money,  because at the end of the day, you will lose the money and become indebted at the end so we have to agree that taking a loan to gamble with is not a welcome idea and such should be discouraged.

Gambling should be done with money that you don't need and should be able to put away for a long time or lose it totally without any feelings of disappointment or discomfort,  but if you take loans to gamble with,  you can forget the amount if you lose it to gambling since there will be a point where you will be asked to pay back such debt
338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indirect victims of gambling addiction on: March 10, 2024, 11:10:10 PM
Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?
It is as simple as saying those that financially dependent on the gambler. The only people who may not depend on the addicted gambler but are not happy about their son or daughter's addiction are parents.

I prefer ways to avoid the addiction to those that are indirectly affected.
Addiction is a bad reality and everyone needs to avoid it regardless of who is affected,  be it the gambler himself or his relatives,  this is why most times we always try to create a room where we are safe from all addiction tendencies and try to escape any of it possibility,  one of the reasons why addictions are viewed as a community crisis is the impact of addiction in the overall well being of the gamblers and since he is a member of a community will definitely rob off on the community at last.

So at best gambling addictions are a call for concern for everyone since gambling addictions could result in circumstances that may be hard to control and could drag the community into turmoil if not checked and dealt with on time.
339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have this practice of gambling during one's wake on: March 10, 2024, 10:59:08 PM

You're absolutely right,there are some other games that you can use to keep up with friends and not gambling, gambling during wake keeping doesn't make any sense to me either.unlike as you Said that even without the game, that they will still supply the family of the bereaved in other ways, I think you make a good point there. However even the church can support them, that's if the family do go to church, unlike as we do in my church.
Wake keeping in some places is a time of morning regardless of the age of the deceased,  and for that games which is a fun activities will not be entertained in such a situation and such no one will bring such idea of playing games at all,  and that is why,  this kind of games are not popular in most of the world,  and since gambling is fundamentally for fun and not money generation,  so whatever the aim may be either to raise funds to support or go along with a particular situation it doesn't matter it won't be entertained.


So for that,  there are other ways that they will employ according to the peculiarity of their environment and situations,  so for that, I haven't seen such a situation where gambling is organized as a fundraising means since this practice is not available in my country,  although gambling is legal though.
340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 10, 2024, 10:51:05 PM
It was a truly thrilling match. In performance-wise, I think Liverpool played slightly better than Man City. Liverpool had several opportunities that could have turned into goals but Stefan Ortega played quite impressively tonight and he managed to thwart several opportunities that Liverpool had, and for the rest of the opportunities failed to become goals because Liverpool did not have a good finishing touch.

I think with the draw that Liverpool and Man City got, Arsenal should be able to smile with satisfaction because they remain at the top of the standings for now. A situation like this makes the title race even more exciting.

From what I saw in the first half, City was stronger, and in the second half, Liverpool, and significantly. This is what caused the replacement of KDB - the weakling Guardiola wanted to keep at least a draw. It’s a pity that Liverpool couldn’t punish them, but on the other hand, this draw is in favor of Arsenal, which is also not bad - now the two clubs are above City and I’m completely happy with that.
That is how it is meant to be. They are both strong teams so the possession shouldn't be on one side it should be shared equally between both teams. However, Liverpool missed so many opportunities which I expected. The conclusion has been drawn that Arsenal would be the team to win the EPL title. Since Manchester City has failed to win Liverpool and Vice Versa. Arsenal is at the top and they won't lose any game to drop any point. They are more ready to win the EPL title this season.
Arsenal fans shouldn't celebrate too soon,  because the position they occupy right now is just by chance and hard it has been that either of the clubs between Manchester City vs Liverpool won the match it would have been a different outcome for them in a whole new level,  so I am sure that the first position the occupy is just temporarily and won't take long before Assrnal get dispose from that position,  so for now,  I don't see why Arsenal fans are celebrating,  because in the next few days,  that position will be competed for and the club that best for that will climb back and possibly end the season as the title holder.
