1421  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tether and BUSD and usd inflation for long term savings? on: January 29, 2023, 09:04:06 AM

the inflation makes it risky to hold the stablecoins. they may look like the value has gotten stronger compared to the value of your local currency but the purchasing power is not getting stronger.

you may have to start buying BTC or any altcoins you prefer because this could just be the hedge for that inflation. stablecoins are not for long-term saving but Gold and BTC.

Siguro in the future need na din natin i-maximize ang paggamit ng airplane mode para hindi tayo matrace.
It's worth noting na hindi sapat ang paggamit nitong feature para mahinto ang pag track nila sa atin [kailangan pa natin isara ang GPS location para hindi nila tayo maitrack]!

Sa mga Globe/TM users na hindi pa nakapag register, may "assisted SIM registration booths [hanggang bukas] sa 30 Puregold branches".

basta gumaamit ka ata ng celphone mo at nagsend ng messages, magpi-ping ito sa cell tower kaya located pa rin tayo.
hindi naman ganito ang ipinagalala ng iba. dahil sa verification messages gaya ng p2p sa binance going to gcash. makakareceive tayo ng text nito at ang telco mismo masasabing nag transact tayo ng crypto going to gcash.

paano na lang kung ang batas sa Pilipinas ay nagbago. ipagbawal bigla ang BTC. o di naman kaya pamilya mo ay related sa politicos o kaya naman nagkarun ka ng kaso, posible kaya ng magrequest ang authorties na ipahinto ang pagreceive mo ng gcash?
1423  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Too accessible of online casino grows addiction faster? on: January 28, 2023, 05:21:06 PM
I have a discussion with a close relative about online gambling and he said something that about how he hate gambling online because it's too addictive, he claimed real life casinos are better and less addictive because he will have to drive down to Las Vegas to gamble or drive down to a local casino and this still takes some physical effort and it discourages many people from frequenting gambling.

He said with online gambling it's available on through mobile phones and you can play at any time, this means no shortage of gambling around the clock and no shortage of losing money as well, you can easily pull out your phone and gamble with any free time, a bit compulsive and too accessible.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong? 

For me it's just the same though, and as far as Las Vegas goes, the last time I was there, a lot of slots machines are place in strategic places not just casinos. So in a case you don't need to drive or travel to the Strip to play slot games, it's everywhere there.

And once you are addicted, even though how far the casinos are, you are going to travel no matter what time of the day it is.

I'm talking about my experience before, when I was so addicted that I will even skip office or go to casino office hours to play and gamble. So it doesn't make any difference in my opinion.

online is more accessible for everyone, all they need is a phone and money. and when they feel lucky, they will play. there are several casinos that can just be installed and they are good to go. no need to travel somewhere but sit around a corner.

the addiction is still the same, you'll travel to gamble whenever you think you can win back the money lost. but with the online casino option, even with just $10 left in the account, the addict will still bet it.

a slogan for bitcointalk.org that is to be stuck on the back of the car saying  "Join the community, Bitcointalk.org"  the forum is a good source of information. no one would doubt that. Car stickers in the back are very easy to notice by the people inside the next vehicle.

is this possible to add the QR on the sticker that will go to a Binance referral link?
1425  Economy / Economics / Re: China Digital yuan vs US dollars on: January 27, 2023, 06:16:43 PM
Unless the majority of the world abandons the US Dollar, China will still be dependent in using it for foreign trades. Only a few select countries are willing to trade goods in exchange for CNY, and the rest of the world still deals with USD a lot. Even if they were the first one to introduce the digitization of their currency, most of the success of their CBDC will still be dependent on the amount of people willing to use and receive it. They can force their people to use it as long as they like, but outside of China, it'll be a hard task to do that since there really isn't any incentive to use digital Yuan just yet.

both countries need the market with each other, and they both dependent on each other despite the rivalry. even when countries are already dedollarizing, they will still need to trade with the US since most of the product buyers are Americans.

and also the CBDC of China seems to be flipping, many Chinese are not using it but thier alternatives like the alipay and wechat.
1426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This Smells Like Hypocrisy on: January 27, 2023, 05:50:22 PM

^ every country has a government-sponsored lottery which helps the government. when the government couldn't generate enough collection, they legalize things to raise funds. i bet in this economic downturn there will be more illegal stuff that will be legal.

a bit of hypocrisy but this doesn't happen in Japan only. many countries around the world made gambling illegal but casinos are in every city.
1427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Aptos pumping ? on: January 26, 2023, 02:23:43 PM

i guess it's considered again an ETH killer as well?  they all fail though like the previous L1s.
to what i have heard about Aptos, the people behind Solana are also the ones that are backing Aptos who are also the FTX people. i'm not sure how true this information is but we can read it from this article. 

Moreover, the team at Aptos has been actively hiring, most notably they have acquired several former Solana staff such as Austin Virts, former Head of Marketing at Solana.
1428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: January 26, 2023, 02:12:11 PM
You can use AI like this also, You can use AI as a validation or a second opinion to your chosen bet. You will put an additional work from doing it but the chances of you winning also increases given that you have an AI opinion. It's like your bet is backed by a compilation of data, Which AI is most likely doing since it rely on the data you are feeding it. Knowing that you have a great chance of winning also makes your inner self kicks a strong sense of confidence that can be undeniably make you bet more than what you are planning to do.
Same with how I see it, though we still needed to consider that there are luck factors and there's also fixed matches where AI won't be able to read from the data that he will be using, we should always consider that in anyhow we will be victims of those match fixing and even how high the chance that we and AI will provide the outcome might be on the other-side.

That instinct of adding the amount of our bets, it will be triggered as we can't deny the fact that we wanted to win a more human instinct that's always inside us, can be good if we win but worse if things went to the other side.
You will not be able to know fixed matches most of the time neither, it would be quite troubling to learn it beforehand for us too, to know how dirty football could become, or any other sport, but if you know about it then you do not need AI.

This is more about AI being able to read every single data, and we can't, and in that regard AI could give points to every single situation, even a player with enough yellow cars that may get penalty for getting another one, so possibly playing less aggressive, it could consider even that much in detail, and we rarely can. This is why AI "could" be better than most gamblers, because it would consider these, I personally don't, I just gamble whatever my gut feeling tells me.

it would take a higher AI with emotions involved to see a mismatch or perhaps just the odds itself where AI can see it as a fixed match. but people will not look at it as a fixed match, we can only say it's an upset fight because we are fixed on seeing the bookmaker's favorite to win.

when the underdog wins, the AI will never foresee it. but definitely, the AI or any other sports picker will predict which team has a high probability of winning.
1429  Other / Meta / Re: Why we do not have an official YT channel to counter mainstream? on: January 26, 2023, 01:47:51 PM

don't be surprised. even the people in the forum are not very happy about Bitcoin being the legal tender in El Salvador. they hate Kax Keiser either. the forum somehow has people that don't like BTC being the reason for the country to success. El Salvador had gone enough using the USD as thier currency. they don't have thier own.

but I think The Orange Pill youtube channel of Max Keiser and Stacy is countering fud already.

Curious , do you think one deserves prison more as the other, one doesn't deserve prison? Both should be there? None should?
Both of them deserve equal punishment. Life imprisonment is the best for both.
But if you ask me personally, silk road was more deadly than ftx, many might have different opinions though Smiley I heard Ross was even involved in crimes like "paying for murders"?!

That’s what the movie Silk Road told us, but would it be truth?

i saw the documentary about it. it could be that it's just the story they tell.
the issue with Ross is that with Silkroad market going on, it's making the authorities powerless so they have to take him down. freeing him will also make people think the penalty is nothing.

but sure i will still vote for him to be free since he created something unique than FTX.
1431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: shiba inu coin, now ranked 13th in cmc on: January 25, 2023, 05:39:18 PM

every layer 1 protocol will have thier own memecoin and it so happens that for ETH, it's Shib Inu. just as the BONK for Solana.

SHIB actually have a good roadmap but have not yet fulfilled so there are chances that it will soon be forgotten or if they are serious, it could rise up like dogecoin the original memecoin.

not sure if this is going to be in the gambling forum.

yes, he bet on FTX and lose. and right after FTX becomes a scam, his wife and Brady broke up. pretty sure, it's the reason why. money definitely affects relationships. he could be unstable for now, any team that would take him might just think twice.
1433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cheat the Lottery Winner on: January 24, 2023, 05:18:41 PM
It's my money and I wouldn't entrust that to anybody. I'll claim it and will still remain anonymous despite that concern about anonymity.

When its come to my money, I wouldn't allow anyone to be trusted with it especially if it's a huge amount of money that I've won.

I wouldn't be lazy not to take it and will even be quick to take it.

like the man who wears a mascot when the lottery management wants a photo of him with the biggest cheque right?  Cheesy

i didn't understand either why she risk by asking her cousin to do it for her. her family is probably thinking she plans to hide her lottery wins to avoid sharing them with her family.
1434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia on: January 24, 2023, 04:25:19 PM
That's why I miss him, he is a kind of fighter that does not care about his undefeated record, he just fight and always go for a big fight, the reason why he is one of the richest in the sports of boxing. Manny Pacquiao had already retired, but good thing he still do some exhibition fights, so we can still see him in the ring although not pro  anymore.

Davis and Garcia should show the world that they don't care about their undefeated record, they have to fight the best to entertain the fans, because the fans looks like they are robbed when a boxer is just cherry picking to ensure their win.
It's because to gain popularity and reputation, one of the way is make sure they have undefeated record. Pacquiao has become the first boxer who fight in 8 different weights and a champion in 5 different weights. Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali are have an insane number of fighting, Ali the most fastest heavyweight boxer while Tyson has an iron punch.

Both Garcia and Tank doesn't have anything new or beating their record, they're just an ordinary boxer like the other champion.

I think they're just want to play in their "safe zone" maybe the paycheck is already enough for them and they're not really care to get new achievement which can ruin their reputation.

well gotta hold on to that undefeated reputation. It's the only one they have. ifn they lose one fight, they'd be nothing to thier fans already unless they become a champ in the next division and another. the first loss they say is the most devastating of all for a boxer who cares too much about reputation.

Manny Pacquiao comes from a very poor beginning, he didn't care about losing, he just want to provide for his family. But in the process of doing so, he becomes the greatest who will fight whoever challenges him.

OP did post details of his deposit and withdrawal in this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5267172.msg57641033#msg57641033

maybe we are just not used to seeing 1xbit actually sends out withdrawals since the accusation about them are too much. but if they are doing this, the users who are trying thier platform do not deserve to get red trust.

there is no incentive to list those casinos that are gone.

but it must be cool to have a list and reason why they were gone as part of the history of crypto gambling. bitcointalk is a portal of data about them, directbet.eu is just one. a longtime ago. i personally have tried them but they were bankrupt such as coindragon.com

They suspended my account with lots of money on it for "compliance issues"  They just dont want to pay. I won it by betting on live soccer. They just dont want to pay. Scum people






Their "CEO" is a stolen photo of a real estate lawyer from Canada. It's a fake person/name.



Real person here

each of the celebs found out that the celeb they married is not actually who she or he is. the character in movies is just the character they played.

a celeb fan will always find out the truth when they stay under one roof.  just like how you see your wife now when you live under one roof. you now literally fart each other face
