Good news to Chelsea fans as they finally got ahead of Barcelona in the deal for Kounde, Barcelona have been very active in the market, interfering and pulling off some good deals. Probably if Barcelona had the funds to get the deal done it would have been a really tough one, Chelsea management will be happy that Barcelona wouldn't be able to get the deal
Barcelona have been active in the market, they chase everyone and save their own. How can dey be depriving Manchester United of De Jong since 1 month and now want to get Kounde easily. What goes around comes around. They should sell before they will buy again.
I even understand that the said De Jong doesn't even want to come to old Trafford and that is why he is delaying and making excuses with Barcelona. He wants to play in Champions league maybe he is tired of the europa he played last season without result.

But this modern gambling has tons of freedom in it and then some excitement are lost because technology has eradicated some things that set the stage.

I guess this very statement of yours is not totally correct, because I believe that gambling this era has more excitement than in the olding day, because with the use of technology, it has added more fun to Gambling than ever before, because using football as an example, we have got live matches where people go to watch live games and  gamble on the live matches, and we have also got WWE wrestling match, where people go to watch live wrestling WWE matches and gamble on live wrestling. So technology has given individuals to either gamble from home or gamble at the very venue of the game. So all that been said, I must say that there is more fun in this modern gambling than before, especially for those who watch the games live
It depends what you are gambling on. You cannot compare the excitement gotten in gambling where two people are fighting with sword and shield with gambling coding with binary 001101 to get a winner.

Welcome To newcasinos.io
???Firstly, I just want to confirm if this is the correct place to be posting the advertisement for the new website I am working on?
Now that that's out the way, I hope I don't get verbally whipped for sharing this! Newcasinos.io is a very fresh online casino directory.
Our overall goal is to provide our viewers with the information they can actually use to become better online gamblers.
Today there are a plethora of online casinos and an even greater number of websites that review them.
So how does newcasinos.io aim to separate itself from its competitors?
Well, we wish to involve our viewers in the process of creating the content we will eventually publish.
I'm still new to Bitcoin Talk and don't know if this is frowned upon, but if you could please take a quick look at our website and simply let us know what information you feel needs to be included. Grin
Here is the link:https://newcasinos.io

Welcome to the forum and be assured you will enjoy it here.

I viewed your top 10 trusted casino and I couldn't see the casinos I am aware of that are reputable. It is new casinos that are trusted that you want to promote? Well, we don't have problems if they are truly trusted .

About your domain name, it sound like a casino company instead of a review company. Maybe you may consider a switch in the future.

Considering the exposure that the supposed community members will experience and possibility of hijack of the group by scammers or spammers, on a second thought, can Op instead created a self moderated thread in the forum and manage it? By this the activities going on in the group can be monitored  by the community members.
That would be optimal but taking into account the OP has not been active in his account since May then it is fair to deduce that they have lost any interest in creating a community like that, however I agree that if anyone was interested in doing something like this telegram is not really the right platform to do it, since the amount of scammers which are moving in that platform is so high that I have little doubts a great deal of people will fall into different scams and then the group will eventually disappear.
If Op has stopped posting since May, I would not be that surprised because I have seen countless times in the forum where forum members come up with ideas, seek for community suggestions and support, but in the end the project would be abandoned. It takes an extra will to conceive and accomplish.
7625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 24, 2022, 10:58:21 AM
I think it depends on what goal the players are pursuing. If they spend their free time, they can play for fun. I remember when I was a kid, we played card games and the one who lost had to fulfill some harmless desire and in fact we were quite enough excitement. If a player is used to playing with real money then of course he will not be interested in playing with fake money, as the most important thing for him - encouragement - will be missing.

the same goes for people who don't want to be directly involved with gambling. they can play with fake money applications just to spend their leisure time after work activities. 
I guess it all depends on one's needs and there's nothing wrong with this. 

there are many members who agree that fake money gambling is not attractive to gamblers, of course yes it is clear and definite.
the gamblers will lose the strong desire to win and of course very boring, no satisfaction.
but if we can see it from various aspects, of course, fake money gambling applications will always have benefits, one of which I have said.
Another example might be that counterfeit money gambling applications can be used as an additional game alternative for a gambling addict who wants to get rid of his addiction, although in my opinion it is not effective.

You are very much mistaken. Gambling addicted person visits gambling platforms and casinos not just to play he comes there to try to win back his past losses so he most likely will not want to play gambling with fake money. In addition, such a game does not contribute at all to the fight against gambling.

Valid point. Most gambling addict people tend to be very impulsive in playing. There are times that they would withdraw from their bad habits but after a while, they will come back because they can't restrain themselves. This is already given since addiction can't be cured overnight and can't be just done and healed if band aid solutions will just be given. Just like with this proposed solution of gambling but not using real money. This could possibly help but it is not ideal for the long term.

Because eventually, gamblers will crave for more and will find ways to gain from playing. Because after all, most gamblers are here to play and win. If winning is not an issue, then the thrill would be what they will going to be after later on. The risk of betting is exciting when you know you can gain some or lose some.

Majority if the people who are in this forum and gambling are gambling for money and not entertainment or fun as some people will say. There is no fun in some gambling we see online. We have fun in betting for football, boxing and other sports that they act, so that when we watch we get entertained. But there is no entertainment is dice games, it is for money purpose.
The trial is just a preparation for the main gambling not alternative to playing with money.
7626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why does Bitcoin seem to have a high influence over other cryptocurrencies? on: July 24, 2022, 09:50:25 AM
But being  that a product can be the first of its kind to be made (just like Bitcoin)  and other companies may decide to produce similar product;( just like alts)  but that doesn’t mean the original product price and value will always affect others. So why does Bitcoin have such a big influence on other alternative cryptocurrencies.
Going by your example of a product and it's alternative. It does not hold same for bitcoin. But I will try yo use the product name to explain to you why bitcoin leads and others follow.
Let us use  Coca-Cola company as example. Let us say that the Coca-Cola company is the cryptocurrency, coke is bitcoin while other Coca-Cola products are altcoin.  If coke is banned, the Coca-Cola company sales will drop drastically even if other drinks are available. Coke is the mother and face of Coca-Cola, but if coke is banned, it will not affect the peak milk company because they are not related.

Bitcoin is the mother and father of cryptocurrency, if the parents didn't provide food, both the parents and the children will starve.

Despite the fact that just a few countries have made Bitcoin a legal tender, the truth  Bitcoin is going to be adopted by the whole world as a decentralized global digital currency.

How did you come at the conclusion that bitcoin would be adopted by the whole world as a decentralized global digital currency?
We all love bitcoin and wish the best for bitcoin, but if we can be very objective and realistic with the present situation of bitcoin, we will understand that it is very difficult for bitcoin to become the world digital currency.

Let us forget about the world and talk about us in this forum for a start. How many of us here use use bitcoin as a currency for buying, selling and paying for services? Very little percentage of us right? This is to tell you that the world is not interested to use bitcoin as a currency, rather as a store of value which will appreciate and give profits.
So, if bitcoin Will succeed as a currency, it should start with us.

and make them aware of the advantages and disadvantages of Bitcoin adoption
Can you let us know some of the disadvantages of bitcoin adoption?

Soon the summer transfer window will close. Many of the teams that have succeeded in bringing in players who are their target, there are also teams that have to be willing to lose players after not getting an agreement. The latest and hottest is about Cristiano Ronaldo which until now there is no clarity. There are so many speculations about him that have become the news which in my opinion raises the pros and cons.

Since Cristiano Ronaldo is so eager to leave Man United, he is willing to reduce his salary! His willingness to leave United is a result of what they offered him when nobody glanced at his resume twice. A lot of rumors are spreading about him, so many speculations are being made. Eventually, I will stop believing the news about Ronaldo as nonsense and unworthy of my time. Ronaldo is desperate to play in the UCL, that's for sure.
It is becoming obvious that clubs are afraid to sign Ronaldo, I don't know what their reasons are but it should be connected to high pay, old age and possibility of mutilating the club ecology or chemistry due to his high profile. The pre-season is almost ending  and it will be difficult for Ronaldo to integrate to any new club he is going.
7629  Economy / Gambling / Re: How do you know how to trust online sportsbooks? on: July 23, 2022, 07:34:17 AM
Hello everyone, I've been using online sportsbooks for a while now, but I wanted to know how do you know how to trust those sites? What do you look for in them, what are some red flags for you, that kind of stuff. Hope it makes sense and please share what are your favorite online sportsbooks.
In my gambling experience, I do not experiment with my hard earned money. I trust sites that are trusted by majority of people and that have lasted long and gathered reputation in this forum. By this I do not have to worry whenever I deposit money and I will not want to be jumping from one site to another because of bonuses.

The red flag I avoid is any site that does not have active customer care for complaints. Even if things are not going well or you will scam me, atleast someone should be behind the computer and be responding to me, it gives hope than no one cares at all.

Active support either inside the site chat or in email form as long as there is someone who's responding

and giving you an update will give you some hope if you have any issue with your balance, it's not easy to trust but if you see that
the site or the representatives are willing to assist you, then it gives some enlighten to your concern.

Not having a steady customer representatives is a red flag for any company, no matter how active or reputable a company is, when there is no one to reach upto you when you encounter problems, you will start having doubts in the company.
Scammers once they rip you off majorly, they will leave you hopeless, so any company that has representatives helping you work out success when you are in trouble may not be out to scam.

It is not bad hence it is good that you try to use new casinos. It is good because if we no one use a casinos or any gambling site then how that site will become reputed and how the site will be old site. But I think no one should gamble too much and should not deposit too much on a new casino(gambling site).
That is the truth, a new site needs players that will try the site out and help them to develop and improve along the way. New casinos may offer excellent service with loads of new games that may excide players, no doubt fact that a new casino may easily become a scam since there has no reputation to protect but any new casino that is serious to build a good reputation will endure the test of time to prove their readiness to stay in the market.
What new gambling sites need to do is to remain commiting to their budget as they grow. Some of the new gambling companies in the quest to meet or beat the competition in the market will tend to promise higher bonuses and higher returns which they cannot handle. If any gambler eventually wins they will.start stories or fold up. New gambling sites need to understand that it is a gradual process.
7631  Economy / Gambling / Re: I want to make a telegram live betting group… on: July 23, 2022, 07:17:36 AM
For what else and do you do that, instead of entering the Telegram channel that you say, it's better to stay there right on the gambling platform I'm playing than in the telegram because we know that these apps are infested by scammers to deceive the community in this industry. Then from what I see it looks like you just want to build a community on the channel you are telling at here in the forum.

Building a community is a good initiative but scammers are enough to ruin that initiative. Telegram's environment has been polluted by scammers in such a way that no one wants to trust it. If I join a new group, I get two or three messages with various tempting offers, whose main purpose is to scam. It is therefore very difficult to maintain a community, which makes creating such groups risky considering various factors.
The scammers are at alert always and they are ready to hijack any group if the admin is not careful. The keep spamming the group and the group members privately, that is why it's difficult to build a genuine community on telegram.
I don't know why anytime I opened my telegram app, I have this feeling that I am vulnerable to scammers. Does this happen to others?

This is a serious matter. It is not possible for an admin to protect a Telegram group from scammers. Telegram has become very dangerous for inexperienced crypto users. And creating a community of gamblers is not a bad thing but keeping those gamblers safe is a very difficult task. There is a lot of discussion in this forum about gambling. So I think there is no need to create a separate Telegram group.
Considering the exposure that the supposed community members will experience and possibility of hijack of the group by scammers or spammers, on a second thought, can Op instead created a self moderated thread in the forum and manage it? By this the activities going on in the group can be monitored  by the community members.

When I watch some ancient Roman's movies, I will see how they gamble with wrestling, gamble with war, gamble with dance and eventually gamble with anything available. The excitement I see is very far from what I see today. The ancient people even gamble with life with ammunition on the head. This they do with their slaves which shows that gambling then was kind of slavery. But this modern gambling has tons of freedom in it and then some excitement are lost because technology has eradicated some things that set the stage.
All I can say is that it depends, but I understand what you are talking about, gambling as at that time were with real life events, unlike now when it is becoming virtual games, that is the truth though. As of the ancient times, gambling can not be addictive as it is today too and gambling can just be with odds in a way not to favour betting companies more. But there are still fun you can have with gambling, those times are now past time, but I have fun while gambling around friends in this modern time, may be it may not be fun like the old time but it is still fun for me.
Gambling then was a real life as you said and the vibe was more then because you will see people gather and form a stage to gamble. Unlike today where someone can wake in the midnight, pick up a phone and begin to gamble. When you said that there were no gambling addictions then, I am not sure of this statement. If there was gambling, there was addiction. What you can say it that there is increased number of addicts which translate to the increased population.

Even the history of gambling is going back to ancient time. The gambling kept changing its form and color. And now people have adopted the most modern and convenient way of gambling. Don't know how it would take its form in coming days.
Gambling has been among people in the ancient time, even very possible it has started since the evolution of humans, but just that in the past the human involved in gambling will be less due to low population of people and unavailability of the modern day devices and equipments like computers, phones, online sites that gamblers access often. Before, gambling would be done with two or more people being together, but now done even with only one person in a room, the means of access is now getting most easier.

The only gambling industry in the current bearish market is moving at their own way. At this time every gambling site is sophisticated. The first thing that attracts gamblers is the design of the site. Then they try to understand what is inside it. I can't access your site but it seems that the mentioned script may be from an old site or it can be restricted for some countries may be.

I still find it difficult to understand what you mean or should I say the point you are trying to prove here. The site has nothing to do with the bearish market so I don't think gambling can be affected in any way. The design of the site alone does not attract people to gambling sites rather the thing that people are attracted to more is the bonus that is given when you play or as a new user of the site when you fund your accounts before staking your bet.
The bearish market directly and indirectly affects gambling. When we enter into the bull market, you will see how many newbies will be jumping into the gambling industry and also many new gambling site would be launched. This is because the gamblers will always have money to gamble, the gambling sites would have money to promote their company. The bear market is always bad for any business that uses or that is related to cryptocurrency.
Then there is no relationship between bear market and site design.
Not really because if those newbies can take care of themselves and keep trying to avoid gambling sites, he'll be fine.
But if he tries to trade without doing any analysis he has already started to get involved with that gambling.
But the state of the market has nothing to do with the gambling business and the casino will still do well regardless of what will happen in the market.
And what can attract more members is by doing promotions using various methods.
I will have to agree with you that the state of the market does not affect gambling. But there are two ways to this, the gamblers and the gambling site owners. Gamblers might not be affected by the market in as much as their capital is not coming from trading or crypto investment. But for gambling site owners, do you notice that in this forum, gambling sites hardly launch campaigns during bear market, but during bull market there will be many campaigns. What do you think could be cause of it.
7637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 21, 2022, 08:09:08 AM
Manchester United might be losing their chance to sign Frenkie de Jong now. Because new rumours claim that he isn't intending to join Manchester United now. He is eager to join Bayern Munich or Chelsea if he will be sold. This can be related to one thing especially. Manchester United are in the Europa League now so he might not be wanting to play there again. He already experienced it with Barcelona last season. It wasn't very good for them. I understand him about this also as he is a qualified player.
Both clubs have a deal, but the problem is Frenkie de Jong doesn't want to go to Manchester. Besides the champion league, another reason is the MU management club is not different from Barcelona, that possibility will be in arrears. that may be different if another manchester (city) contacts him, Even though he doesn't like Manchester, if ManCity wants him, everything can change without stall for time.
It all depends on what the player actually wants in the club, does Frank de Jong want to play only one season in Manchester United? How about if he comes now that the club is rebuilding and help the club qualify for next champions league? I don't understand why players who has managed to see brightness complain so much. Manchester United as we all know is still a big club and Frank is not bigger than 60% of United players.
7638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin limit supply on: July 21, 2022, 07:35:27 AM
When Bitcoin can no longer be mined because all 21 million coins have been mined, first, I believe Bitcoins that will be in circulation won't be up to 21 million coins when we consider the hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin that it's owners have lost access to, so this I believe makes Bitcoin even more scarce, and since there will be no other way to get Bitcoins except by buying them, I believe price will skyrocket, but it all depends on the demand though, and how good the network is by the time, if after mining ends, and transaction fees skyrocket, then I believe this will be a major issue for many most especially the small investors, but i still believe this is unlikely to happen, but let's see what happens then.
Currently now that 21 million bitcoin has not been mined, the bitcoin in circulation is less that 21 million.  A huge percentage of bitcoin has been lost irretrievably by people, especially the early adopters who didn't know much about how to save their bitcoin and many of them didn't believe bitcoin will turn out to what it is now, including myself.
What I don't know what will happen is when there is no btc incentive for miners anymore, what the transaction fee will look like.
7639  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is the possibility Bitcoin will rise before the end of the year ? on: July 21, 2022, 07:14:53 AM
Last year I predicted Bitcoin will rise above the value at the start of the year and I was totally right about it, in April Bitcoin eventually reached a new all-time high price of $64k. Bitcoin added about 72% of its value as it  increased drastically before it eventually started falling back in May till September. I don’t really know how this year is going to turn out now because of the present dip. But I just hope it increases, that’s why I’ve been advising so many people  to hold their Bitcoins and even buy more now cause it will surely rise again.
Bitcoin wi surely rise and it will always rise. Bitcoin will surely fall and it will always fall. What matters is the percentage of rise or fall, how long it will remain when risen or when fallen and when to beat a previous ATL or ATH. How to know the bottom of each circle and buy at the bottom. To discover this things is not easy and that is why we buy at the wrong time. But for this year Bitcoin will rise but it will not break the ATH.
7640  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The right time to invest on: July 21, 2022, 07:08:13 AM
As a newbie one finds it difficult to know the right time to invest. I really want to know if I can actually invest into Bitcoin at this moment.

As a newbie, the right time to invest in bitcoin is when you have understood the basics of bitcoin and how it works. After having understanding of how bitcoin works, you need to have money for investment. This can be a spare money that you won't be needing in 3 years time, commit the money in bitcoin, relax and forget your investment till 5 years. That is the best way to go. If you cannot do this, begin to trade then.
