581  Economy / Economics / Re: Chase Bank New Policy On Crypto - Users Beware !!! on: October 05, 2023, 11:36:48 AM
"Chase is the U.S. consumer and commercial banking business of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), a leading global financial services firm with $2.6 trillion in assets and operations worldwide".

According to this new policy they are only trying to protect customers from scam and fraudsters.
Do you believe this is the case or they have interior motives behind it to suppress crypto access?
They don't try to protect their customers from scams and fraudsters. It's hilarious how they decline crypto-related payments but at the same time they advice you to use another service provider but warn you that if you use them, you may lose your money and not be able to get back. Isn't this hilarious? They try to make people fear of crypto but hug their centralized service because it is politics, money and power that they want in their hands.

This title is funny to me because none casino will stop claiming that they are provably fair. That's the whole idea behind that, they lie and cheat to earn more money. Also, as far as I understood, it's possible to make your casino provably unfair while users won't be able to claim that it's unfair, there was similar case on Fortunejack if I am right.

This is really good that he does at least some good things along with manipulating the market but somehow in my mind I still think that he does this in order to increase his influence over people and strengthen his overall image, make himself appear cool, Elon the savior. This kind of intentions behind "kind" actions is what I really hate but it's better to do something kind rather than do nothing or bad.

I think if anyone truly wants to bring something good to this world will be to help the poor nations by giving them quality education that includes trade skills too, show them the European lifestyle to implement in their countries instead of huge corruption, nepotism... Then the hunger will be lessened hugely.

I use binance and in binance i watch the market and i will see hot/gainers/loosers/24hr vol. I will check the coins that are hot and i will check them in loosers and buy them and wait for 24hrs they will go back to gain and i sell.

I mean, mate, we're literally in a bull market; almost anyone's going to make money in a bull market as long as he/she isn't tremendously bad. Bull markets are times when almost everyone thinks they're some trading/investing genius. Wait til we get into bearish territory, then re-evaluate if you're actually good.
It's very risky man. If you look at LRC right now that did 10x rise in two weeks and doesn't seem to stop, then I would say that you have to be very, very, very lucky to find that kind of coin. Always remember that every hot gainer coin becomes hot loser but not every hot loser coin becomes hot gainer.

And as mk4 said, in bull run almost everyone is the winner until the FOMO effect. There is a moment when FOMO starts, it usually happens when the price has tremendous risen and that's the moment when the most unexperienced traders or newbies enter the market with all of their capital, the smarter ones sell all of their coins to these newbies, these newbies buy and then when small fall happens, these newbies panic sell because they saw 4-5% loss in their capital, then the market crashes.
585  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon musk is for crypto or just for attention to boost Tesla, SpaceX? on: November 09, 2021, 09:42:32 PM
At first, I think he was there to support crypto. Back then, his tweets were really powerful and could change the shape of the market. But recently, I beginning to see that it was all for personal attention just to promote his own personal brands. Now, his tweets rarely move anything these days. However, that man could be very very influencial.
He is businessman, it's deep in his bones to gain wealth and fame. There were a lot of people who were the supporters of Musk because of his interviews, because of his super hard works (once he mentioned that his brain was hurting very much because of sleepless nights) but this man just proved that he is selfish and a person, who doesn't care about anyone and looks at others like his own pets.

Idk why people don't analyze his behaviors and still adore him. This man used the society to pump dogecoin, bitcoin, then just post one tweet to make you panic sell it and then bought it at dip. I don't really know what to say about this.

-Is there a possibility that spectators of a sport like you and i with no professional training can develop a better understanding of a sport than some professional coaches of some teams?


It is my experience that most athletic, fitness and sports coaches are not good at what they do.

They're usually people who might know some of the basics and have some background in the sport they coach. For them coaching is a 9 to 5 job where they do nothing to expand, update or improve their knowledge base. They continue to use the same basic knowledge they were taught which will often be outdated or obsolete.

As a result, there are fans who are more credible and informed than coaches. Simply due to fans being bigger students of the game and being more up to date. This is a very common theme. Even at the highest levels of coaching in sports, there is a significant proportion of the population that does not belong there and does not legitimately deserve their position.


I think the main accent here from the OP is on football/basketball matches and on similar sports. But what you say about athletic and fitness coaches is definitely true and I can confirm that from my experience. In the area where I live, fitness coaches always stick with the same routine: Traditionally 12 rep 4 set on almost every exercise, traditionally the same low calorie/low fat diet and traditionally the same routine even on anabolics. This industry is most likely bro science in a lot of areas. I have been in touch with a lot of fitness instructors in my country and I haven't seen anyone trying something innovative, like keto diet, 5x5 set/rep, HIIT cardio, etc. It's really boring when you only copy/paste everything and the routine is similar of a robot.
587  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin makes new ATH. More ATHs to come shortly. on: November 09, 2021, 07:02:53 PM
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I really hope bitcoin doesn't just shoot straight up, and I really hope it just takes its time and have lots of small pull backs in between. It's quite unlikely to be the case, but I really really wish bitcoin's price increase is more sustainable this time.
I think there is no reason for it to fall right now, there is very strong support on the current price and since it felt from 66K to 60K but very quickly regained that loss + reached the new ATH, I think that it will just rise and rise until something bad happens. But once something bad happens and price begins to fall, it will be a total shock and we probably may see as great fall as we had when the price was 20K back in 2017.
But right now, the market looks very promising to my mind and there is no way for it to fall and reach 50K, 40K.
588  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: For those who think that they caught the moment when it's late to buy on: November 08, 2021, 09:11:06 PM
I am one of those people who think they're late.

Guess what? People always think they're late when in bull markets. And guess what? A few years from now you're going to once gain think that you're late.

I wouldn't follow OP's recommendation though, unless you want to lose money.
It's not my recommendation for anyone to open short position on futures market. I'm just saying that there are people who think that it's late to buy while actually it isn't and there are some people who don't even know about futures trading and/or margin trading where you can open short position and earn while the price falls. It's just for educational purpose.

Never ever buy on a hype or the market is already on FOMO state because you would really be finding yourself on big trouble once corrections do happen.
This is great advice! People usually enter when the market is on FOMO and that's the case where whales sell in high price and then suddenly it crashes. Whales aren't called whales without a reason, when whales open their mouth, all fish are in their stomach and whales feel satisfied.

I understand that getting a professional knowledge in coaching introduces an individual to aspects of a sport not known by all, but oftentimes i have witnessed individuals (spectators) of a sport, due to extreme love for a sport become masters of a sport so much that it seems almost like they now know the sport better than some coaches.

Whenever a game is going on say football, you always hear such individuals question the coach's line up and tactics, you hear questions like -

-Why is he (the coach)  not playing player xyz?
-why did he (the coach) use player xyz instead of players zyx?
-why is he (that is the coach) using this formation instead the other one? and so on.

-Is there a possibility that spectators of a sport like you and i with no professional training can develop a better understanding of a sport than some professional coaches of some teams?


You know, everyone thinks that they are the professionals and they know everything better. Just have a look at your life, there are a lot of people who didn't succeed in their life and are average or below average Joes but give you a lot of advices about a lot of things. Some may say that you need to marry ASAP, some may say that you should never marry, some may say that you should get high education, some say that sport pays the better and so on.

The same applies to your question. Maybe in certain moments the spectators can be right because in each different situation, each individual may act differently. People don't know what's happening behind the scene in matches, maybe there was different dialogue/communication between the coach and the plays? Maybe player XYZ asked the coach to play player ZYX instead of him? Maybe coach wants to give a chance to player ZYX to probably shine?
There are really a lot of reasons behind every decision, people just judge it easily.
590  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin ever get regulated on: November 08, 2021, 07:29:33 PM
Can a decentralized currency like bitcoin ever get regulated?
No. Bitcoin is decentralized and censorship resistant. Only exchanges and centralized services will be regulated and this is not new.
Directly, bitcoin can't be regulated, yeah, I agree with you cause in case of fiat the government can even change the currency, print more or even withdraw from the circulation but in case of Bitcoin that's impossible to do. But... When the exchanges and bitcoin related services are regulated, this at some point means that bitcoin is regulated too but the influence and power is lower there compared to fiat. As time goes, more and more bitcoin exchanges are regulated and more often you have to submit KYC documents (including exchanges, crypto casinos and so on). Also, mining has turned into centralized business, there are just some giants that mine most of the coins + more and more transactions are easily traced as time goes. This only just means that bitcoin is getting more and more "regulated".
591  Economy / Economics / Re: Will we see new ATH this year? on: November 07, 2021, 11:39:15 PM
Bitcoin has a strong foundation despite of FUD, SEC rules and regulations, against in bitcoin like the government,despite all of that,bitcoin still live and kicking. Now bitcoins value is $62k and I believe that it will continue to surge before end of this year. We will see new ATH but we don't know exactly when it will happen. Investors are continuously increasing and the demand for bitcoin also increasing. It's difficult to predict the market but we can feel another huge wave coming.
I think regulations aren't affecting bitcoins and cryptocurrencies in overall when it comes to their price. Instead, it can even boost it's price because the more regulated crypto will be, the more safer the majority of people will feel and invest in it. There is only minority number of people who care about privacy and want less regulated crypto, i.e. less people care about the actual benefits of bitcoins, others mostly look at it like an investment option.

I feel another wave of rise too but if something bad happens on this run (these days), I think it will crash hard and won't regain easily. If everything goes well, it should reach it's peak price at the end of 2021 and then, we all know that it will crash until the next halving.
592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: JP Morgan believes Bitcoin is Overpriced on: November 07, 2021, 09:58:33 PM
While I agree with him, I would say that the people who make predictions or state this kind of opinions under their famous name are just speculative persons who only care about their finances and try to manipulate the price of their assets/positions via you.
Bitcoin doesn't really need 30K price, it can perform well between 15-20K range and I believe after the crash, we will see this price again like we saw 3K after the crash from 20K. It's another task whether bitcoin reach 100K or not. Yeah, it's overpriced but it doesn't mean that there aren't people who won't buy it for 100. From the society that made dogecoin to worth almost 1$, nothing is unexpected.
593  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and wealth as the major religions in world. on: November 07, 2021, 09:21:48 PM
Although I get the idea of what you mean in a figurative way, strictly speaking, what you say is incorrect.

Money and wealth are not institutions to which people pray. Money and wealth are of this life and speak nothing of what happens when you die, which is a central theme of religions, etc.

On the other hand, I see nothing wrong with people accumulating money and wealth, as long as it is in an honest way. I believe that an essential part of the economic progress of nations comes from the accumulation of capital and the investment of that same capital.
Yeah, Idk what connections he found between money and the major religions of the world. Every religion tells human that money is bad, he/she has to get rid of it (According to Christianity, if person is rich, he/she better to sell everything and give the wealth to a poor people).
But the reality of very different, people usually say that they are religious but actually don't follow the religions. But the reason people are centered on money earning is that we just simple need it. Don't you have money? Then you are nothing, no one will respect you, you won't have food, you won't be able to spend fun time, you won't be able to get hospital treatment in case you need it. Our society values people who have a lot of money, no one wants poor, that's all. Sometimes life is very different from the religion that people follow and usually, this world will never be what you have expected.

594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tesla make 1 billion profits from it Bitcoin holding on: November 07, 2021, 08:29:12 PM
Indeed those that bought bitcoin at the 30k region and below have gain massively from their bitcoin holdings and with whales like Elon musk and the president of El Salvador who just legalized bitcoin. In the near future more profits will be made from the price increase when it reaches 70k and above.
people with big capital have a good long-term vision for bitcoin. as it has been proven, most long-term investments in bitcoin will definitely be profitable.
people like Elon and the President of El Salvador don't just think about the benefits of holding bitcoins in the long term. they believe that in the future the use of bitcoin and crypto in society will be something better than Fiat.

Right,
You know, Inflation is rampant all around us, The main reason for the recent inflation in European countries is the printing of money by the government. In fact, people no longer trust fiat money cause govt. can do anything to reduce their personal loss. Elon Musk, the president of El Salvador, and other people with big capital know that inflation is coming after the COVID-19 pandemic. So that, they invested in Bitcoin cause they know it was safe to hold their money in Bitcoin.
Where do you hear that people don't trust fiat money because of the governments? I personally haven't heard that kind of thing from any person that I have ever met. Usually, people in poor countries prefer to save their savings not in national currency but in USD, Euro or GBP. I think the statement that "People don't trust fiat" is as abused as the word "Blockchain". Have you seen protest where people say that they don't trust in Euro? Well, I have even seen protest where people ask the government to ask America/Europe and move on USD/Euro instead of their national currency (But you can't move on Euro if you aren't in European Union).
Poor needs enormous profit from poor investment to become rich and for rich, even 5-6% profit can be millions of USD.
595  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does a trader needs to be a full time trader to be successful? on: November 07, 2021, 07:30:52 PM
No, person doesn't need to be full-time trader when it comes to cryptocurrencies. Actually, it can even have a negative effect on your capital. When you constantly trade, you are under serious pressure all the time and in these cases you make more mistakes unless you are 24/7 on tranquilizers.

I am into cryptocurrencies from 2015 and from my experience I can say that the less frequently you check prices, the better. When price reachs high levels and lowest points, you'll see tons of news online. That is another indicator that it's a good time to invest or open short position on futures.

596  Economy / Speculation / Re: Tesla accepting Bitcoin payments and ..... Doge ? on: November 06, 2021, 11:55:34 PM
Wonder if someone will actually buy an entire Tesla vehicle paid for by Dogecoin.
Someone will try just to continue with the hype but this one is actually a good adoption that can affect the whole market because Tesla is a big car company so it can create another hype and expect the price to go up if ever this will push through. There’s no Tesla in my place so technically, we’re not on the target market for this one. Let’s see if Elon will tweet with regards to this one.
It's a good adoption? Right now, I checked whether this post was done back in 7 November of 2020 but somehow it has been posted in 2021, after the accident when bitcoin felt from 64K to 30K.
Do you know that yeah, the fact that Tesla started accepting of bitcoin caused massive rise and was actually really good for adoption but at the same time, the tweets of the CEO of Tesla, i.e. - Elon Musk, caused huge market manipulation. This man helped bitcoin's price to increase but then, he made it to fall hard. He not only manipulated bitcoin but manipulated the price of Doge, made an useless, worthless coin very valuable one. And now, the Shiba, another worthless meme coin.

Wonder if someone will actually buy an entire Tesla vehicle paid for by Dogecoin.
Sure, why do you even doubt? People bough tons of dogecoin because of Elons Tweets, do you really think that someone will hesitate to buy Tesla with dogecoins? At least he/she will quickly become popular, Elon will congratulate the Dogecoin to Tesla transaction.
597  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin run up is coming on: November 06, 2021, 11:25:50 PM
If there ever was a time where bitcoin is going to skyrocket out of control, it's the coming 3 to 6 months ! Wink =D
Just why, why do you think that it will happen especially this time when the price of bitcoin is enormously high. It can't skyrocket out of control, bitcoin already did that back in 2017 when price went from 600 to 20K, there was 33x rise in price. And now? Do you think that it will be much higher? I don't even think that current rise will come near to the previous rise in terms of percentage cause price was kept already high after the 2016's halving. Right now, we didn't even have 10x rise because price went from 9K to max 66K at the moment, I think bitcoin won't exceed 100K and it will crash again like it happened at 2017.

Banks will panic, Banks will buy bitcoin too, with bank account holder savings.
Do you really think that banks ever panic? They control the whole financial system, they are the least that have to panic.
598  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🐺WOLF.BET - Advanced Dice Game 🎲 Sportsbook 🏟️ Slots 🎰 on: November 06, 2021, 10:44:47 PM
I just use doge mostly. (Much regret because I used doge there as trash coin before the boom, lol. Woopsie. What was like $20 in my statistics is now $4000). Lesson learned, sort of.
It is really a trash coin, no one knew that the price of doge would skyrocket, it's just illogical, people buy trash because one man says that trash is good. It's not your fault, at least you are not a supporter of trash blindly like others. Doge is a good lesson to learn and understand the behavior of people.

I do find using USDT makes me more aware of how much I am spending. It's a little difficult sometimes to know just how much I'm blowing because I can't do the conversion in my head easily.
You can immediately convert the coins into USD and save that in your excel file. In one column write the current date, on another one - the amount of bitcoin and on another 3rd one - current value of those coins. Add and leave another column clear and after some price rises, compare the old and current moments, how much you would have kept if you haven't gamble. It will make you think more about the way you spend money if that's your problem.

I think Woflbet will soon fix all the issues that people have right now regarding to fees.

I think that after spending some time on Bitcointalk and even by reading some replies in this thread, he will understand that there is something between sig campaigns and posters.
OP, signature camapaigns here work in two ways:
1. You hire a lot of people to promote the service but pay them low $ and then they spam the forum, get disliked by the community here and probably people less likely click on the signatures of spammers.
2. You hire high quality posters, pay them enough $ to keep them and your business will succeed. Bitsler, Chipmixer, Fortunejack, Sportsbet, Bitcasino and some other businesses are great example of how a well-managed signature campaign with good posters can help you succeed in your crypto niche.

You can check the signature campaign list, have a look at each Ann thread and then run one by yourself: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0
Or contact signature campaign managers: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5266629.0
600  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin adoption by banks - good or bad? on: November 06, 2021, 09:12:42 PM
We want it to be globally adopted, but we don't want these big players to get involved?

Obviously, the adoption from the banks' side was inevitable to happen and will bring regulation, but hey, that's the cost. You couldn't except from the governments to hug bitcoin and its highly anarchic ideology warmly. It may be recognized as a better store of value asset, but I'm pretty sure they'll abuse their power on tracing us way too much.

As for your last words; anonymity is mostly gone since 1995 and decentralization isn't affected from banks' adoption.
To my mind the cons of adoption outweighs the pros of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. When something gets typical and usual, it loses the spell. Personally, I don't want bitcoin that will be massively used but will be regulated like a fiat. Then, what will be the difference between bitcoin and fiat? Only the blockchain system? I think bitcoin lost it's value as a currency, it turned into an investment option. Almost everyone that I know looks bitcoin as an investment option nowadays while at past I have seen some people who were enthusiastic on it as an innovative payment method but now, I really haven't heard from anyone new into it saying that bitcoin is innovative payment method. It's sad how crypto world become a puppet of some people.
