3. In August 2011 first ever Poker Site came to accept bitcoins as a source of payment (company-Switchpoker.com)
Wow, I was under the impression that satoshidice was the first ever gambling casino in bitcoin history but I am glad there was Switchpoker even before them.

9. Bitcasino.io registered themselves in Feb 2014 , so it was like the first licence ever given to a bitcoin casino.
It increases my respect towards sportsbet.io and bitcasino.io even more after knowing that they were the first licensed casino and since sportsbet.io is also from the same owners, I actually feel proud that I bet there. After directbet.eu closed, I think sportsbet is the closest to them in terms of popularity.

If I am not wrong, FJ even had a coin converter when I first used them and they accepted a long list of coins and the ability to convert coins was quite amazing.

I think LFC should be active during the summer transfer window to sell some players and get new faces in to freshen up the squad.
That is an option Liverpool management should think about at the moment. They lost a lot of point just because the cover players didn't do well when the main players were absent. Their defenses were far from satisfactory, they would have to finish their proposal immediately if they were to return to compete in the top 4.
I think they haven't lost 26 games in a row right now, between league, cup, champions league and all that they have been doing awesome, they have been doing awesome lately and I can't believe how awesome they are because we are talking about 26 games in a row, how could you win that many games in a row that easily.

Interestingly they didn't star that well neither, after the first 9 games or so they were at 9th in the league for a while, but obviously they saw that as something problematic and they ended up fighting hard and took that momentum into 26 unbeaten streak. But I can't believe how awesome they could be, they have been awesome and could be even more awesome if they keep this up. They do not look like they are going to end up with a record breaking situation all over again. We can say unless something major changes, they are already the champions.
1963  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What I think every trader should do to stay in the green on: March 01, 2021, 03:13:28 PM
We can't deny the fact that we cannot avoid red market sometimes because of some people who randomly sell their assets once they get some few profits or they thinking that their holdings will go to nothing once they keep on hodling. If the red market comes, it is good to stay away from it and go back again once it back to green.
Either that or learn how to use the red market, I call it bearish market, to your advantage. Remember a bull run is good because it allows us to sell the coins at the best possible prices but a bear run is equally important as well, to buy the coins at the best prices to later sell them in the bull run. Its like the seesaw game where to get up you first have to go down and without going down, you can't actually go higher.

Every trader needs a plan and a reliable strategy. But the paradox is that there is no perfect strategy. And each trader is forced to slightly change his plan and strategy over time. Every trader has to adjust to the market.
Well said, also one needs to adapt to the market. Earlier the bitcoin market was highly volatile but with time the volatility has reduced significantly maybe because the market is getting more saturated and deeper. A trader who is used to making profits from big swings won't be able to profit in the current market situation where swings are rather fluctuations.
1964  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie traders - Learn from my mistakes on: March 01, 2021, 10:17:22 AM
I think what turns an average trader into a professional trader is experience and capital management. I have seen some very discipline day traders who know their limit and that came with time and now they are trading with $100-200 difference and make easy profits, not very big but stable and sustained profits. There are times when they have to wait for weeks but there is enough patience and discipline which they have learned with time.
I like that you made the point that newbies shouldn’t be trying to learn everything all at once, because for sure it never works. Learning how to trade cryptocurrency is not what you’re going to learn all at once. I usually advise people that they should calm down and take everything one at a time.

You can learn a few things and start trading and then with your daily experience you’re going to be grabbing more knowledge and becoming better than you used to be. This is a normal thing with every kind of business that one is into, there will always be a time they will make mistake and with these mistakes they will learn to correct their steps and take the right steps.
1965  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to adjust and work with the bet365 live streaming on: February 28, 2021, 06:50:51 PM
I never faced any issues, and it's perfect in terms of betting. There's a lot of fun of your choice; the remarkable thing is they don't apply a fee for withdrawals, and they're fast compare to the other bets sites. The only thing I dislike is charging a high phone bill when you call customer support with a Canadian phone. Had a pleasant little surprise on my phone bill.
No doubt they are the best gambling site in my opinion too but actually this thread is not about player reviews, instead there is an excellent explanation how we can use the tools and actually enjoy the live stream in full size. I used to zoom the page to see the stream better but the layout of bet35 is such that the fonts and other things will enlarge first and stream hardly zooms in, thanks for the great explanation OP and I have tested it myself so I can it works.

I have watched all the Australia Open matches on bet365 itself and some of the matches they show are even ahead of the stream that is being shown on TV so it was a great experience with the method you shared.
1966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is the right time to gamble on football. on: February 28, 2021, 06:20:03 PM
nevertheless, the enjoyment betting against your close friends adds up the fun, when your pick wins over there's additional
excitement, as you feel that you are really good with picking the team to place your bet.
I feel the gambling we do with friends and family when watching a football match is unmatched and can't be experienced in online gambling at all. It is just profits that are in mind when betting online against a house and gets even boring if there is no chat to discuss the game. I bet on stake mostly for sports and thankfully they have a decent chat and even allow us to put frustration out without being muted, as long as its against players or teams and not against fellow bettors.

I like almost all the points mentioned in the OP and I think the motivation of a team is more important than recent results because if the team needs a win to qualify there is a different mindset and if the team just needs to not lose by more than 2 goals, they are more on the defensive side.
1967  Economy / Economics / Re: 'Cryptocurrency is not legitimate money,' says Nigeria's central bank governor on: February 28, 2021, 05:10:30 PM
You don't de-legitimize what a community choose to use as currency/money/token.
Yes, with all the due respect to the USA, I can call US dollar as not legit currency. But my statement has as much impact as Nigeria calling Bitcoins as not legit money. People are selling their ass and buying bitcoins so there is hardly any debate we should have on this.

Tesla are selling car for BTC so if BTC is not legit then Tesla would be going in loss, according to this kind of theory.

It's already legitimate, it's just left for the bank to accept it.
As long as there are people buying/selling BTC, it's legit and worth in the market. I don't think banks will ever accept it though.

I don't understand why we are trying to get BTC legalized and accepted by banks, the sole purpose of developing BTC was to kill the central payment system and take away the control from banks.
1968  Economy / Economics / Re: Here is why btc will die as a crypto on: February 28, 2021, 08:16:15 AM
I think the expense is still too low in contrast with the fiat. Consider you're sending money with fiat you'll pay profoundly and more than this.
For me, this charge is yet favourable for us.
As of late, I sent $5 to one of my companions by utilizing the PayPal services, and I pay $2 expense.
He lives abroad, and I think utilizing the PayPal services was one of the stupid things I ever did
Actually to save fees was why the use of crypto currency became popular. Now with the high number of transactions and the high cost of bitcoins has enabled the fees a bit out of control, specially in some altcoins like Ethereum. I agree with you that still sending a big amount of money is cheaper within the crypto space as compared to sending the same amount via PayPal.

We can also use crypto like Tron, XRP and even dogecoins to save a big amount of fees when transacting and unless the receiver has defined a particular coin, I would always consider saving fees and the person receiving can easily convert to the coin of their choice by any exchange.

People use PayPal because they aren't actually aware of bitcoins and some use PayPal because they can spend money directly from there since almost all the merchants accept PayPal but Bitcoin is yet to make a mark when it comes to acceptance among merchants.
1969  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Learning is better than Following on: February 28, 2021, 06:06:50 AM
Following will never let you grow after a certain amount of time. It's only good when you don't know anything about the concept and want to learn. Once you are done with the basics, it's probably best to study yourself and make it on your own. Make mistakes, learn from them, don't ever make the same mistake again, there are always better ways to do something. You just have to keep the patience to find it and do it.
That type of "cap" is the reason why people do not grow too big, normally if you are learning there is always room for growth, you could be a great trader and one day can see something you have never seen before, it is just that type of deal, but when we are talking about just following others there is a room for growth but that is limited and like you said after a while you do not keep growing, because you are not learning anything.

I am not 100% against following others, if you really find someone who is good, and they do help you, and after 6 months everything looks great, you should probably keep following them, you will know if they are a person to follow or not sooner than 6 months so if there is no problem by that time, you should probably feel comfortable about it. Which is why I think it is quite important that we end up with someone we trust if we want to follow, or just learn ourselves.
1970  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Risk Management in trading cryptocurrencies ...?? on: February 27, 2021, 06:32:08 PM
You asked a very good question, as my opinion don’t invest your all Fund at once and Don't invest your all fund on One coin. If you have 1000 usd then you can invest 300 usd, and if you see that your invested coin again has dump, then you can again buy. This will very profitable for Trading. I use this formula.     
You invest 30% of your bankroll within a single token? That's really risky I feel and I am surprised its working for you. Maybe you are investing in very good tokens like polkadot or recently BNB and that is why you are making profit otherwise 30% means if you make 3 bad decisions, you are out of the game.

I think 2% is manageable but on my end I always go with the 1:2 or 1:3 risk reward ratio, risking my 1% to gain 2-3%.
Does this mean if I have 10k USD bankroll then I should buy tokens with 100 USD (1% of 10k) and sell them for 102-103 USD since you said 2-3% profits? I actually like this idea but 2-3% gain is really low considering the risk with altcoin market and if you somehow made the right investment why just content with 2% of profits.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - FreeBitco.in Has Acquired FUN Token!

Recently, we introduced the FreeBitco.in community to the FUN Token through our Premium Membership Program. Now, we're going one step further...

FreeBitco.in has acquired a majority of the FUN Token cold storage and we're taking the reins of the token into our own hands. We plan to develop the token's utility, grow its value, and establish it as the token of choice for the iGaming industry.

We have acquired 3.75 Billion FUN Tokens in a major deal.
How do you really "acquire" a token? I mean that is a great news, freebitco.in should always have something that would make things easier for you to operate the business and you could even make deposits and withdrawals with it which could make things cheaper. Even with all of this in mind, just because you acquired a lot of tokens doesn't really make you the "owner" of that token but yes it is definitely a big deal that is for sure.

From what I understand, the best way to go would be BSC, binance smart chain definitely would make things cheaper and faster as well, that way you could end up with basically no problem at all. It is about 1 dollars or so to "approve" and then tiny few cents for it to be swapped there, pancakeswap could help you with that kind of deal, liquidity is easy there as well when you offer decent return on profit for it. This has potential to be insanely good, and also potential to fail, it all depends on how well it goes on.
1972  Economy / Speculation / Re: Correction is coming on: February 27, 2021, 05:34:01 AM
I see that more and more often red days appear on the market. What is this really is? Correction or market is about to change its direction? Everything seems so unstable right now. One hour I see 1h changes are green, next hour they are red. In past years, in late winter and spring market used to change its direction. But this time it is sort of a pause on the market. On step forward, two steps back and one forward again. This continues already for two weeks...
There is no change in the direction you could be relax about that part. It is definitely correction because it is not going under 45k price that easily, and even if it does, up until 28k or so we are still in an easily recoverable phase, because it took us only like 10 days to go 50k+ from those levels, so it would once again take only 10 days to go back so it can't be considered a problem or a change in direction when it is only that small part away.

We could literally break a new all time high with a week of bull run, if tesla or apple or someone else declares that they are going to make another huge investment into bitcoin or their first one ever, the price could be 60k+ in under a week. So do not lose hope, sure there have been some red days in the past few days, but we also had green days for months now, nearly half a year, so we should feel fine about it just yet.
1973  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is dumping, what's the possible reason? on: February 27, 2021, 04:44:19 AM
-10k in price isnt something for people still on getting shocked on this one? If they have seen those past year experience about corrections like this then they wouldnt really be that on a panic but instead on taking it as an opportunity to buy more cheap coins. Dumping reason is always a question in mind but no one knows actually on what happened because there are lots of several
factors that could really be driving off the entire market into reds and as an ordinary trader then you should really know on how to go with the flow or really knows on how to take advantage on that situation.
Another thing that we are not really shocked is the fact that bitcoin could drop, like drop a lot, it could drop to 5k as well, it could be even lower, like I do not care how low it could become and I do not care, I am not saying it is impossible for bitcoin to drop low.

However so what if drops? Like let it be 5k who cares? I do not care if someone is scared and sells and loses money that's his fault and I do not care if he loses money not really my problem. Me? I would definitely just put my money in, wait some more, there is a bigger drop? I would go as far as taking out a loan if I have to and that would be the method I would basically go in even more if the price drops. All you have to do is wait, sometimes a day, sometimes a year, sometimes even more but eventually you get that money back one day.
1974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is the right time to gamble on football. on: February 26, 2021, 07:28:10 PM
Don't get gamble on football because we want to make money, if the initial goal is like that it only makes us lose money. Because after all gambling is not a good thing to be a source of income, so I think the right time for gamble on football is when we need entertainment. Because gamble on football can provide entertainment, especially done with friends will definitely provide joy.
Not just football but any sport if you are gambling with an intention to make money then more often you will fall flat and the worst thing is that you get frustrated and feel like you need to cover the loss in the next bet which ultimately starts the never ending recovery process of a gambler and the recovery gets bigger and bigger to the stage where you are desperate to stop but can't.

As far as gambling for fun goes and since money is involved, I think betting on dogs in some sports is worth it and one such sport is UFC because I have been following the sport since a few months and apart from a few upsets, there are hardly any big underdog wins.

I don't have much experience with soccer apart from betting on random matches at times although one thing I have seen is that the over x.5 market is more favorable than the under market.
1975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: February 26, 2021, 06:24:04 PM
I agree it is still too early to ensure Chelsea will qualify for the next round, because there is still a second leg where Atletico Madrid could beat Chelsea
by more than one goal. Because Chelsea's position is not completely safe. However, Chelsea will not bear the burden as big as Atletico Madrid in
the second leg, because they have won in the first leg. Regarding Olivier Giroud's goal, I must admit that it is very beautiful goal, because not many
players can score goals with an overhead shot.
Giroud is the player for moments like that goal. He is striker who contributes very well for the team tactics like Roberto Firmino in Liverpool. They are not strikers can be assessed simply from total goals they score.

Did you recall that French national team won the World Cup with Giroud as their main striker? He played all matches but did not score a single goal in that tournament.
That kind of "forward" is hard to estimate, because they are not strikers like many big name guys, not even mbappe actually because he is not full on target man striker and because of that it is really hard to estimate the value of those kinds of players as well.

In short Giroud is just a player that you have to watch to understand how valuable he is, anyone who has seen him play on 2-3 games he played well would know that it doesn't matter "where" he seems to be playing, because he doesn't really play in just one position, he plays anywhere he wants, could be wings at that moment, could be striker, could go back to midfield he plays wherever he is needed at that moment. This is why I think Chelsea is very lucky to have him. For me it is an easy choice, Chelsea will definitely go to next round because ATM has been on a bad roll lately and doesn't seem like that will stop.
1976  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading without experience and knowledge on: February 26, 2021, 04:05:43 PM
Trading is not an easy business, especially if you say without experience or indicators. we just throw unag on the market. believe me you will not profit by not understanding the indicator technically. now I suggest being able to study through books or finding a mentor to help learn trading. I have spent a lot of money in the beginning for trading without knowledge. and can be more economical if I have taken the trading class. I think every country is now available
Even while using indicators, we are not really there yet, we are not doing anything at all if just look at TA and trade accordingly. TA only says what market "should" do but that's it, it can't say what it will do, and I know that some people find that idiotic, but I still find it not enough.

I have talked about this to some TA people and told them when they think it will go down, Elon could tweet something and make it go up, or when you thinking it will go up there could be some government branch that bans bitcoin and it crashes. So long story short I have talked about this kind of stuff many times but they always said you can't make any move at all if that is the case because tomorrow we could die. That wasn't what I am trying to say, the idea is that we should not trade "only" based on what TA says, there are other things that we should be looking at when trading.
1977  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: when next bitcoin halving? next bull on: February 26, 2021, 02:52:21 PM
I think now bull run ends for 2021. we should be ready to next bitcoin halving. can anyone give a answer next halving ?
Let's not overreact just because we had a drop this quickly, it makes no sense to me that people are seeing this fall like the start of a huge bear run, it is not really there at all yet, why would it mean that price should drop this quickly. If you check all the march prices you will see that most of the time crypto prices drop in March, recover in April and go higher in May, of course this is just generally what happens and doesn't mean that it should happen this way, I just think that if that is the case, we are still doing fine.

On top of that, we are still way beyond what we were just 1 month ago, for almost all coins price is higher than what it was 1 month ago (some of them even higher than what it was 7 days ago) so I think we should not overreact. I believe we should wait and see what is going to happen, there is still a chance that this was just a correction.

1979  Economy / Economics / Re: COIN PRICES CRASHING!!! SELL BITCOIN NOW!!!! on: February 24, 2021, 12:25:51 PM
Bitcoin price is dipping!  Sell into cash now!  When I got up this morning I noticed all coins were starting a dip on Coinmarketcap, so I went to my trading accounts and sold all my Bitcoin into cash.  When the dip bottoms out I will buy back in, but I'm not about to lose my profits I have gained this past month!

SELL NOW!!!  Help the prices crash the PHOQUE out so my gains may be even greater!!!  And yours too, I guess.
Actually not the worst strategy to sell at the start of a bear run and buy as the bottom is hit and the market starts recovering but the problem is you never know if the market will drop even further or not because what you think will be a bear run might be a small correction and market goes up back where it was and you ended up selling the coins cheap.

I know prices have dropped but I will not sell any coins just yet unless this trend continues for at least 10 days and that is when I will consider selling a part of my coins. I do not even follow the market price too closely because it makes me panic and I just check it once a day, that is it.
1980  Economy / Economics / Re: Earning interest on your crypto on: February 24, 2021, 11:18:25 AM
if I may suggest you look at the bsc farming platform.
there you can get greater interest depending on the type of coin and the deal.
for example, CAKE at Pancakeswap offers apr400% if you stake 2 types of coins and increase the liquidity there.
I think this is the site you meant : https://bsc.farm/

I don't know if its legit and what actually it provides because I haven't been into staking or earning interest on my crypto so I was a bit lost on the website.

In fact, I am very attracted to the opportunity to receive dividends from my cryptocurrency assets. But I am alarmed by the issue of security, especially if you need to transfer your funds to some other resource. A calmer and more acceptable option for me is, for example, staking Ethereum in the MEW wallet, where I will not worry about the safety and security of my coins.
Well, whenever and wherever you are staking there will be risk because you are giving control of your coins to someone else. I don't know if MEW provides the ability to stake our coins but if they does that's a great thing because even I trust MEW and I believe they give us our private keys so does it mean we have the control even when staking? That would be really cool.
