I think all of these cases are starting right now because before these days players were let alone and just warned to be careful, there was nothing that teams would care about and since players were "at home" and not playing there was no need to rush them into getting better.

Now that we are starting up in a month teams want all of their players healthy which means they will start practicing and start training very soon and that requires players to get tested and the players who test positive would have to go home and not go outside until they recover (which they should have done already to not get it to begin with) and at the end of the day all of these players will recover in a month, recovery is usually around 10 days and in a month they will be fully recovered and not infected anymore and will be capable of playing without infecting anyone else.

^ Yeah that is the thing about the maintenance, you want to be in the know and you want a notification and you want to make sure that your money is safe etc etc many things that gets you worrying. However it also gives you hope, hope that they are working on the website and didn't gave up, that is an important thing in the crypto casino world because many places just makes their casino and get it going and then just count their profits, that's it, this place is not like that they are working on it.

For a while there it was talked about how they are not doing anything too new and it wasn't getting the attention it used to get but now that with the maintenance is done maybe they will do something that would be bigger and better and get a lot more attention once again like they used to get.

What are you talking about? They are still at peak success, I mean the team would only know about this and we wouldn't but it is still looking like it is quite successful. I have managed to gamble here multiple times and on each time it was quite entertaining honestly and never felt like it was a bore at any minute.

I am not saying this is the best website ever but I can tell you that it is actually making a decent amount of money probably (well revenue, profits are different breed) because I know some people who do play here as well and we all see the people who gamble here as well. It is just a plain old wrong thing to say they were once good. Also I am sure there are constant changes waiting for us here as well, they will probably find a way to make it look refreshing as well.

I hope something like this never happens again. I do not care if it helps bitcoin to be 50k and I do not care if the price of all coins rise 10x and reach a new all time high etc etc, I do not want something like this to ever happen again. It was a very bad period for the whole humanity, there were tens of thousands of people dead, there was millions infected, there was billions affected and the whole world just stopped.

It is really the worse period of humanity I have seen in my life time, sure the previous generations saw world wars and famine and so forth but ever since I was born this was the biggest scare humanity as a whole ever got, nation to nation there was bad days but never a global pandemic that kept the whole earth at home. The benefits to crypto world is nothing compared to destruction it had in the world.

Everyday people keep coming up with some boring definitions for Bitcoin. I don’t see Bitcoin the same as fiat as he has explained, there is a huge gap when it comes to fiat and Bitcoin, they are really different. And the way Bitcoin (BTC) works is totally different from the currency we have been using for years now, that we all call fiat. First BTC doesn’t have to rely on banks/middlemen just as the fiat does, it’s always peer to peer straight up and it gives you freedom, unlike fiat where there are plenty of restrictions. In so many ways BTC beats fiat in the ring.

Simply we may assume, bitcoin could be the "new type of fiat" still having variable value but trying to serve us similar to fiats. Because after some time, bitcoin may have stable value and that way bitcoin can become as "exact fiat".

Lol, that last sentence/question was funny. There are so many Bitcoin, many of them that you don’t know about because they never made it, they just died off quickly after they came out. There is a thread here in the forum that listed all of them trash coins. And just like someone once said, any other cryptocurrency that has the name ‘Bitcoin’ attached to it and is not the real Bitcoin that we all know is just one of those lousy coins. And yes he/she is right, all these forks are really going no where.

It’s likely you mentioned BSV because you’re seeing it on the sixth position, but these coins are just scam. Better to focus on the original. Honestly the exact thing I am doing with my hard earned money. Better do not get misguided and also do not try to guide this community on something which is so clumsy.

First I don’t see the reason why I should be investing in something or sending money to people when I don’t know who they are, and what they are up to. It doesn’t make any sense. When I see people making these mistakes it always annoys me, because I don’t know why they are investing in something that they nothing about. Why not just relax and ask questions? I don’t see anything wrong with asking people some questions.

Just like one of my friends that fell for one of these scams where they will tell you to be referring people and promising you huge amount of money lol. He kept doing this until we met and he told and I had to let him know that it was a scam. And if he never told me, he wouldn’t have known what it is. So it’s always good ask questions or maybe do a research.

Well, when you fear that you are missing out, you got it! . All jokes aside do not think that you are ever late, do not jump into anything because you fear that if you do not jump into it right now you are going to miss a lot of money.

The thing about investment is, there will be more opportunities in life, there will be plenty of times when you will make more money than you usually do, in everyone's life there is this period where you earn more money suddenly, could be gambling, could be luck, anything, and there are times when you do one good investment and one bad investment. So just take your time, it will happen, you are not going to miss life just because you are not investing into that one thing you fear missing out, let that be and focus on something brand new and you will find it.

Experience doesn't mean you are not risking anything, a veteran of trading doing the same thing and a noob doing it means they are taking the same risk.

The only difference is noob might have stumbled upon that whereas veteran worked and used his experience to find that. Both of them could be right, both of them could be wrong. You think someone who has been an investor or a forex trader for 20+ years is never wrong? They are wrong as well, they do even bigger mistakes because they have been doing it for years and they are pretty good at it so they get a huge confidence on what they are doing, at the end of the day that confidence kills their investments.

Of course when you are more experience there is a bigger chance you find something that would make you profit, but like I said it is just a higher chance and not 100% guaranteed.

But I'm sure we cannot decode this part of casino. A casino's policy on consistently winning gambler is always hidden. If they believe they can make money out of a gambler then they will simply allow them to continue regardless of their short-term consistent winning. Because, houses will try in all possible methods to make them to spend/risk all their money before they will be leaving the house. So, in beginning they will not mind about continuous winning.

To get a complete clear picture of a casino and their policy on each and every aspect of gambling then we must need to watch them for years still there could be more possibilities for them to keep changing  their policies so that they could sustain on their business. We cannot blame them because it is their business model and we must need to agree with them before entering and playing.

Hey, this must be really a needing story for this time because I'm seeing a lot of people are severely getting addicted due to isolation times against covid19 spread. I am afraid already two of my friends got addicted to gambling up to the worst level of what we could imagine about gambling addiction. They have already started begging money for their gambling and I am not sure at any time soon they may decide to go for robbery.

I can say with 99% accurately that lots of this forum members might have already got addicted to gambling because of continuous gambling in last three months. This must be the worst consequence of pandemic situation we are experiencing right now. Only when people realize what they are doing and what they actually need to do, they might chances to get rid of gambling addiction until then their situation definitely will go worst than their current situation.

I would say betting on Trump right now could be the smart money. Now I am not saying Trump will win, and I really really really hope he loses, I rather see an empty bucket be the president than Trump. However, let's remember 4 years ago when initially he had 1% chance to be Republican nominee, from there to presidency he won everything.

So, I do not trust any polls when it is about Trump, if it was someone else, if it was some senate race, if it was something related to congress I would trust polls and what they say about the republican versus democrat candidates, I would even trust polls if it is about the presidential election but between another republican versus any democrat. However this dude beat the whole odds and became president, so I can't really ever be sure about him losing no matter how much the gap grows.

Stake does have a bit of problems with the sportsbook side but to expect them to fix it already and calling it "still not fixed" is a bit harsh because lets be honest the leagues weren't around so they didn't had too many live bets to grade properly for the past 3-4 months, which is why I think it was also a bit hard to troubleshoot the problem since they couldn't have the same problem again. Now that they have it again, I am sure they will work on it.

Plus, do not forget that they are working with a third party provider for the odds and the grading etc, so they are actually not a sportsbook, they are just a big affiliate by the logic, they may pay and get paid for all the work but the odds are given to them readily made and graded that way as well. So, the problem is with stake for sure but not all of it, the provider has some issues as well obviously.

Affiliating 3 people who have wagered over a million dollars is not just affiliate networking but a whole huge business. Considering most places give you about half of house edge when you are doing affiliate (sorry can't remember what it was here) and to calculate it one percent of one million dollars is about 10 thousand dollars and half of that is 5 thousand dollars, three people like that is 15 thousand dollars.

You may think that is not really a huge number in your nation maybe but in many nations that is a years worth of salary easily, probably even more than that, could be 2-3 years worth in some small nations. So at the end of the day, trying to keep those players happy is definitely something you would want to do but you have to realize how rare those situations are and why they would be not ready to do something about it considering they don't get it too often.

I am just seeing the opposite of it. We may see another pull back up to $8800 levels before trying to break the long holding resistance levels around $10,500. In short term market may remain under bear's control but as usual bulls may take over the control at any time because after halving bulls are still not coming into action to ensure momentary benefits to bitcoin mining.

At the same time, the chances to climb up from the current levels is seeming too low due to pandemic reasons. Exchanges are not showing significant improvements when bitcoin prices hit its bottom of range bound. So, it seems bulls are waiting for the prices to test support levels around $8800 levels before making it rally toward the biggest physiological barrier around $10,000 to $10,500 levels.

What we see as miners not selling or at least not selling as much as they used to caused by the halving most probably because they are mining half of what they used to which causes them to mine less bitcoins and make less profits, which causes some of the lower end machines to stop working since they are not as profitable as they used to be or even not make any profit at all and cost money, so when that happens the system has less machines working and that means more clogs in the blockchain which causes the fee's to go up which causes people to use bitcoin less that ends up with the price going down. They are all connected to each other and very well reasonable things.

I would say price will not go down anymore just because the fee's already went up but went back down so we are beyond that level now.

Looks like it is right there at $9.3k and nothing major is going on, I think market doesn't really care about the price points at this level, sure there are important ones but not here, this one looks a bit weak and unimportant. I can see bitcoin rising very soon, it has been idle for a while with a small decrease daily that is caused by constant selling outweighing the buying, however that means there could also be a huge increase, how?

Well, simply people who are selling right now could be going back to USDT just to buy all at once, you could sell your coins small by small not to disturb the market too much which could cause it to go down only a bit every day but not a huge crash, but after you sold all of them and you have all your money in USDT you could use them to buy all at once.

So, while you took the price from $10k to $9.3k during selling period you could buy the same amount but take it from $9.3k to $12k with a hype.

I would say having satoshi that high is actually quite dangerous. I would hope that bitcoin never reaches 1 million dollar per bitcoin levels, when things are that expensive how do you plan on making the trading fee low? I mean sure you could have 50 satoshi fee type of deal that would worth 50 cents which is still not horrible and cheap but considering it is not like that even right now, how do you trust it to become like that during those days?

I am pretty sure the fee rate would go up to tens of dollars by that time if the price is a million dollars. That is why I think the best case for bitcoin should be maximum $100k per bitcoin and never more, that is enough as well we should not see bitcoin as a way of making profit after that, we should see it as a currency to be used and that's it.

I would say it would be very difficult to create a new coin and get it to become huge. You would have to innovate beyond measure and would be expected to change too many things back to back in one blockchain and would have to have an amazing team that would do all their jobs perfectly and would have to spend a lot of money on marketing and community building. All of those all together is a very difficult task to handle and I wouldn't really expect it to be easy for anyone.

Definitely there could be mildly alright ones that doesn't suck but 99% of all the new projects will probably go down in price the moment they hit an exchange. Starting a new coin doesn't even make any sense now, I feel like all the coins are out there and the only reason anyone would create a new coin is to get rich and nothing else, it is like a low risk and low capital business for them.

^ It is in our nature to want to be more famous, more wealthy, more handsome, more beautiful, more successful, basically living a life that could possibly not squeeze into one life and having a great adventure. Why? Because deep down we know we will die and we want to get that chance for a rock star life. I know rock star life may not be the right thing but that 0.000001% chance is really the perfect thing that would make us live very rich.

I have never fallen for a scam I think but I still believe that one day someone could very well scam me, I am just too careful about these things but they could simply scam me by making it look very realistic instead of making it look like "make 100% per day!!" they would make it "make 10% per year" and I would fall for that pretty quickly honestly.
