2081  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk Wont Sell his Bitcoin on: March 14, 2022, 08:26:14 AM
Elon Musk won't sell his bitcoins, he tweeted this and we see no big movement in the market. There was a time when his tweets had big effects on the market. This guy is losing his value by promoting Dogecoin.
Quote
Yeah, he won't sell his Bitcoin or his shitcoins, who cares. I think that in this forum we don't really care what he says, although it must be recognized that he has a short-term influence on the markets.

Yeah but still he has a good amount of followers that blindly buying whatever he is shilling. I noticed that theres really short term price fluctuations by the time he made this tweet but as usual just like what you said, this is only temporary and will definitely dump again when no one is buying anymore the hype. Maybe is really not selling crypto because he doesnt holds anything at all. He is smart and he knows when to buy and sell stocks or shit tokens.



2082  Other / Politics & Society / Re: what could be Vladimir Putin intension for the war? on: March 14, 2022, 06:24:35 AM
Despite the fact that the negotiations for peace between Russia and Ukraine is making good progress, it really appears that Vladimir Putin just want to destroy Ukraine. If the intent of Putin is really in the best interest of Russia and not personal grievance for what so ever his personal reason could be, why not call a halt on his troop until the negotiation is over.
source
Ukraine joining NATO began since 1992, and began its NATO membership action plan in 2008, why didnt he start this war then? Was he friends with previous Ukrainian Presidents and probably do not just like Volodymyr Zelenskyy? Source
I would like to know your opinion on what could be the real intent for this war


Of course to take control Ukraine and avoid possible huge disadvantage against NATO allied in casethey plan to attack Russia in the future. As I watch some cool documentary about this War, Ukraine is very strategic location to attack Russia since everything is plane if you look Russia from Ukraine meaning Russia is defenseless if the eneymy use Ukraine as strategic point to attack them. Putin dont want to recover the original USSR, He is just using it as a reason to cover his move and hide this weak spot of Russia. I believe Putin so an aggressive activity from Ukraine that involves US and Nato.

I appreciate the reply above gents. This is would be my first time depositing Bitcoin in Betfury because I usually use BNB and BUSD by just connecting my metamask to avoid problem of too much transaction fee for deposit and withdraw. Just want to make sure that my BTC will not be trap by the typical flat rate withdrawal fee of BTC. Im participating Betfury daily events since they boosted it to x10 and the leaderboard seems achievable if I will focus and invest some of my money in the bankroll. You should try competing too.

Anyone here try to deposit BTC from Bitcoin native blockchain then withdraw it as BTC(Bep20) to save withdrawal fee? Im planning to deposit a couple of Bitcoin from my signature payment and I want to withdraw my potential winnings directly to my Binance bep20 wallet to save fees. I just want to make sure it is feasible before I commit a deposit tomorrow.

Thank you in advance.
2085  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🦉 Owl.games 🦉 Web 3.0 Crypto Casino & Sportsbook - BTC-Metamask-Walletconnect on: March 13, 2022, 04:25:38 PM
Well, I have been reading on owl game token lately and am beginning to develop an interest in this platform, I don't have an account on the casino anyways but will love to buy some of their tokens for holding.

The casino is a web 3.0 casino so you dont need to register just to create an account. You just need to connect your metamask wallet and you will have already an instant account. You should atleast connect your wallet since staking feature for this token can be only found on the casino webpage. You are missing the full benefits of holding OWL token if you will just buy and hold it. The current price range is very good for buying since they do buy back to pump the price.
2086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can I trust to the BlueSparrow Token? on: March 13, 2022, 03:13:52 PM
This token is a ponzi token with a twist of daily draw rewarding system and a charity which obviously will go to the team dummy foundation to receive a passive income out of the liquidity pool funds. This kind of tokenomics and a too good to be true goal is obviously or will fail in the long run since the value is highly dependent on the new moneys flowing in the token market. The token itself is garbage if no one will buy it since theres a newly minted coins per day coming from lottery in different team expenses. This investment is very risky same as typical meme tokens out there.
2087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 13, 2022, 01:05:17 PM
This is just the 2nd time this season Steph Curry ended up in a single digit in points. The last time was against the Miami Heat on January 3.
1/3/2022 - 9 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds.
3/13/2022 - 8 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds - Today.
But he didn't shoot much so that's okay. 3/7 FG 2/4 3pt
He didn't force it and just became the playmaker or used his threat to give his teammates an open space. That's unselfish of him and the Warriors are lucky he would sacrifice his stats for the win.
Draymond will be back next game, it will be a different Warriors again.

Maybe he is just showing off one side of his basketball skills? He is not known to be a playmaker, of course he is more of a shooter, but with Klay taking the shots outside, maybe Steph just think of becoming the point guard in this game. For sure if this is a close one, the complexion will be very different as he needs to score and help Klay. Let's watch Draymond next game, they need his presence in the middle and the energy he can bring to the team.

He doesn't care about the stats in my opinion, as long as the team wins, even if he doesn't score double digits that fine with him.

Remember that when Durant was in the Warriors uniform, Steph was not taking the limelight. And it was Durant who carry  the majority of the load in the regular games. So Steph is used to it, just look at how happy he was seeing Thompson to score the way he did damage to the Bucks.

Yeah, this is what I like about Stephen Curry, He is very down to earth in the court and focus on the win, He will step up on the game if he see that his team mate is not in a good shape to make a score. Actually this is the main reason why the 2 best sharp shooter stay in the same team because they compliment and give way to each other whoever has good shooting accuracy for that particular match. Its very rare on NBA teams for a 2 same skill player stays in the same team for a long time and play together always as starting 5.

There are a lot of duo team before them, but maybe we haven't seen maybe in history because it's usually a big men plus guard, like Shaq and Kobe, or Malone and John Stockton. But you are right, Steph is just focus and motivated to win the game. He let Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole to be the main point in this game against the Bucks and it's a very good win for them as they are back in a streak and then they stop the Bucks winning streak as well.

Yeah, theres a lot of solid duo in the past but I only see few duo that has a same main role in the team like Thompson and Curry as splash brothers. The only duo that I know that has this kind of same role was on Spurs Duncan and Robinson which is known for twin tower. Besides that most of duo are compose small and big player just like what you said. I enjoy watching the current GSW unlike before when Durant is with them since they are already too OP and the splash brothers is always limiting there performance to give way on KD performance.

2089  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading should be supported by goverment on: March 12, 2022, 04:41:44 PM
I think yes with your analysis of old people in government as leaders apart from Macron the French president, the most are 60 and above and so they have ideas of a little backward not same with youths idea. For example the smart phones are more in use by the young people and technologies too. The numbers of cryptocurrency traders is very much high in youths and the government promising to provide jobs but no reality on that yet they ban cryptocurrency investment or trading.
Governments should take consideration the idea of the young ones especially when it comes in technology. The understanding of the old official governments were based on books and experience that requires more time to study. However the young are more into a simple yet efficient way of using technology that can benefit in their job. What the government see is the scammers and problems reported online but not the benefit that can also be contributed in their people if only they will consider it.
2090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Billionaires and Bitcoin on: March 12, 2022, 03:38:50 PM
It is difficult to come up with a rational view on this, as they are all looking for their own arguments from every angle. If we support this, it will be unfair to those billionaires, and vice versa. This is really a big problem. It's political, national, and global. Soon we will see what the consequences of this action will be.
Therell be no problem for them as long as they can do transactions in crypto, sanctions may not burden them a lot as long as they will find alternatives to all the banning that been put in them but if crypto like Binance or other exchanges will join in putting restrictions to the users that can be a time there will be a problem though billionaires can just go visit other countries or ask someone if ever they needed it.
2091  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from crypto influencers on: March 12, 2022, 11:38:51 AM
The average bounty has a youtube video campaign and almost all youtube video campaigns have participants participating. So they work on promoting the project in the hope of getting paid after the program ends.
There are also those who make youtube videos with content discussing procedures for finding good crypto projects with the aim of getting paid from the audience.
Do your research so you don't get stuck with them.
though content creation bounties are no longer popular especially here in forum, some influencers with most views and followers are mostly contacted by the team or what they call now collaboration wherein they will be paid depending on the contract some offers token and some content creator directly contact the team in exchange with tokens it will depend now to the team if they will do the collaboration with them.
2092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Viable Altcoin for the moment on: March 11, 2022, 05:42:14 AM
In my opinion AVA is good too. AVA itself is in the hospitality and tourism rankings on the top crypto coinmarketcap, so tourism-related crypto and its market cap are still under $1 billion dollars and Binance invests in AVA and has collaborated to book hotels + flights via the Binance application.
AVA may be good for sort-term investment and not good for long term investment, I know the coin has a good use case since it is a utility token for the hospitality and tourism industry but the fact is will its value keep increasing for a long time from now what are the relevance of the coin in the industry and the level of its acceptance.
Tourism industry is starting to bloom already and booking project like this has the advantage for that huge market. Travala is already operating with a good amount of partner lodging hotels. In my opinion investing on this project is not for short term since the tourism market is very huge and a 2% cash back is definitely a good deal in top of other utility of AVA tokens.
2093  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin value more if no Altcoins or not on: March 11, 2022, 03:55:48 AM
Theres always a what if on this kind of topic, Bitcoin value might be more or less if Altcoins didnt exist. Theres a possibility that Bitcoin price will much lower if Altcoin didnt exist because the main reason why cryptocurrency market pump is because of the hype of blockchain technology through its different application on altcoins.

For example the Ethereum upgrade Bitcoin Blockchain by implementing smart contract which lead to multiple possibilities for innovation for the whole crypto market. Without smart contract and other blockchain innovations, we are still stuck on a single blockchain with tons of shitty bitcoin forks. Cryptocurrency will never be the same like this.

I like this Metaverse raffle I will deposit some later I hope I would be able to keep up with my deposit and play it through as long as possible to accumulate more tickets however I cannot maximize it since I don't play progmatic games but still I'll try to win more tickets as much as possible and I hope I could win. How many draws are you going to make by the way?

They are going to pick 10 winners and split the $200000 on either NFT or on-site balance. But if I am going to choose I'll choose the NFT since you will be having an NFT it like an instant investment also if I receive on site balance I think I will be tempted to gamble it. You can check the information here https://roobet.com/raffle/200k-metaverse

Quote
10 winners will split $200,000.00 in the form of Bored Ape Kennel Club NFTs or on-site balance, their choice.

The only difference is you can immediately cash out your Casino balance while having an NFT will need you to list it on NFT marketplace and wait for a buy offer to convert your NFT in to cash. A 10,000$ worth of NFT is pretty scary investment because theres no fixed value of NFT since it depends on traders speculation to the price. I will go for website balance instead of NFT if I were you. But this will always a case to case basis to each user preferences. This metaverse raffle is a one of kind promotion of Roobet.
2095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto in war ukraine and russia on: March 04, 2022, 01:08:11 PM
Ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine have not only impacted the economies of both countries, but this uncertainty has also impacted the stock market and the recent crypto market correction and moreover now the Ukrainian government is also requesting that centralized crypto exchanges like Binance to block users who comes from Russia, so I think this FUD issued by the Ukraine government will indirectly make the market panic.
Since crypto not yet ban in both countries some says that this is the reason of the recent hike in price since banks sanctions are already happening in Russia and Russian are using crypto now to do transactions. Though we see how price of bitcoin continuously decline when the war started and just this sanction news it somehow recovers. Once Binance ban or freeze Russian account we can see how will effect the market again. For now crypto were not that much affected but sure the investors who are living in these countries are already affected  maybe sold some of their investment for cash.

If real crypto is available from FunFury wheel for rank 2 and above, why then rank 1 has real crypto on the wheel? Why not replace them then something different from 5k/8k/10k FunFury prizes?

Here is my another experience with FunFury tokens:


This morning I've got 10k tokens from the wheel and played Dice with 100 bet and "fast" option switched on and 50/50 chance to win. Took me 1 hour to lose all tokens, but easily got 145 place. I am sure that if I work on the tactics (for example bet minimum, wait for series of looses, and then increase bet and wait for a win) I would improve my position.
I would guess that if you kept it at a lower chance to lose, and kept on winning as much as possible with the same amount then it would have taken you longer to lose it all and that way you could have made a bigger wagering number and a profit number at the same time.

The result might be same or your bank roll will gonna burn much faster if the long red streak knock on your door. Winning probability is not the main concern if you want to gain more wagering volume. The objective is play longer so that you can accumulate more volume while playing consistently so you should focus on your bankroll and you can make it alive when long red streak hit. The main answer is to use a calculated bet amount that your bank roll tha can withstand your assumed possible max red streak that may occur. 50% is much better win rate so that your computation will not be complex but you can use other win rate settings with a proper computed bet size.
2097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Snooker Game on: February 04, 2022, 09:49:36 AM

For me I think snooker is a game of skills and luck might be a small fraction but it does not mean that you are going to win that game hands down.


Even pro billiard player wants to play snooker. In our country, The most famous billiard player here Efren "Bata" Reyes favorite game is snooker. He even wants to compete on this game internationally rather than billiards on his current physical condition. The only problem on this game was there's only few tournaments available worldwide because of its low popularity due to billiards and pool sports.

The games is partly luck base compared to billiards that you play perfectly if you calculate well each shot. I don't know if this thread will get much attention since the game is not that popular anymore.
2098  Economy / Gambling discussion / [LIST]Countries Where Gambling Is Illegal on: February 02, 2022, 04:32:45 AM
Note: There are some minor exception in each countries law to let the government get income from tourist or to moderate the gambling activities of its citizen


Japan

Most forms of gambling in Japan are generally banned by the Criminal Code chapter 23Source.

Exception: Public sports, lottery, and toto (football pools) are held under special laws in order to increase the income of national and local governments as well as to offer a form of entertainment.

Since 2018, casino operators have been bidding for three legal licenses to operate an integrated casino resort in Japan, including in Osaka, Tokyo, and Yokohama. The Japanese government established the Casino Administration Committee in 2020 to supervise and manage Japan's resort operators.Source.




Cambodia

Gambling is officially illegal under the 1996 Law on Suppression of Gambling, which outlawed all unauthorized forms of gambling and provided for penalties ranging from monetary fines to short prison sentences, although the Cambodian government's General Department of Prisons does not list gambling as one of the 28 offenses punishable by imprisonmentSource.

Exception: The prohibition on gambling, which also extends to all forms of online gambling, only applies to Cambodian citizens. As of October 2015, there were 75 casinos catering to foreign tourists operating within Cambodia, providing an estimated US$29 million in revenue to the national government in the first nine months of the year and $2 billion in income for the casinosSource.



United Arab Emirates

It is important to understand that Islam is the official religion of the country, pursuant to the Constitution of the UAE.  Gambling is prohibited in Islam, and this forms the basis for the federal and local emirate laws that prohibit all forms of gambling, as well as the advertising of any form of gamingSource.

Exception: Despite the blanket prohibition on gambling, it is permissible to run competitions (including raffles) in the UAE, subject to prior permission from the relevant regulatory departmentSource.



North Korea

Nothing to adds up here since this country is known for a complete manipulation by the government and we know that lots of socialize activity here is prohibited in the public. So gambling is illegal!

Exception: two casinos exist in North Korea for the Chinese tourist market the Imperial Hotel & Casino in Rason[37] and the Pyongyang Casino in the Yanggakdo International Hotel in Pyongyang.Source.



Singapore

The Private Lotteries Act prohibits private events unless permission is granted.Source

Exception: Exception: Singapore Pools is the only operator that is legally allowed to run lotteries in the country.[1] Casinos are allowed in Singapore in the form of integrated resorts (IR), such as Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, where the casino is integrated in a major resort property that includes a hotel, together with convention facilities, entertainment shows, theme parks, luxury retail and fine dining. Societies are allowed to operate slot machines in designated rooms under the Private Lotteries Act.Source.




Conclusion:It's fascinating how some countries completely declaring gambling as illegal while implementing some amendments just to still sneak gambling in there country for there own personal gains reason. Learning different countries gambling laws make me realize that govenment can't totally suppress gambling activities. There's still a lot of people playing online gambling despite the danger involves by doing it.

I realize that I'm so lucky to be born on a free country that don't have this kind of restristions.





Progressive List, Feel free to add additional data and incorporate it with source.

2099  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think BSC token with rewards in BNB are sustainable in the long term? on: February 01, 2022, 02:33:27 PM
Hello,
I knwo that some BSC tokens have rewards in other currency like BNB, BUSD or USDT.
DO oyu think that this time of tokens is sustainable in the long term?

Do you know some of them which hasnt pump and dump price scheme?

Thanks

It's sustainable if there's enough source of funds that can be used on it like for example AMM exchange which use the stake funds for liquidity and get profit on transaction fee. If the APY% they are offering is equivalent linearly to the profit being generated to whatever source of income to the project then there's high chance that this token will gonna be successful in long term regardless on what token they are rewarding. Make sure to DYOR about how the project will gonna work and if the idea is possible to generate in long term to distribute it for holders of tokens or Stakers.
