2101  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for September on: September 10, 2022, 10:50:55 AM
I voted $25,000. Bitcoin will SURGE. It's SURGE-SEPTEMBER my dear fellow plebs!

Judging on Btc price action since the huge dip, it looks like Btc did not hit $25k nor drop below $15k after that.
So, I have not seen any relevant new that would potentially create a Bitcoin run. I believe we still continue to see Btc price going back and forth around $21k - $17k or 18k. Just like what we usually see these days.
On the brighter side even if Btc falls $15k or below, that will be a huge opportunity for everyone to accumulate though.


I believe it might take more time before we can purchase Bitcoin below $20,000 again. This month, Bitcoin will probably have one of its best positive months for the current bear market cycle. Those people who sold just gave their precious Bitcoin away to the whalecumulators and the billionaires. Hahaha. Or, if they bought back after they sold upon learning their mistake, they are holding less Bitcoin.

Well I think that active players should receive some bonus while playing and this Is the reason I think hourly bonus should be bigger (now its just 0.20 mbtc to be divided ...)
I think admin has already evaluate various scenarios so lets See whats next Wink

Agree to this since there’s no rakeback or cashback in the casino besides the 1mbtc per week reward for wagering consecutively for 7 days. I’m sucks on free spin so I preferred too those bigger rewards on tournaments. Right now the reward is so low despite you bet huge amount unlike before that you can earn a lot by just wagering 1 to 5mbtc per hour. They remove already the farming using draw bet then maybe it’s time now to increase once again those rewards.


It will never return, I believe, and that's understandable. Because if the casino is spending more, per farmer, than they earn, then that would mean that they would actually be earning less at any given period of time. It wasn't their intention for their cashback system to be a way for players to farm/profit against the casino, which many players might have found the right strategy and turned some to farmers.

Poker table against a real player on "Evolution" games.

I want these on Evolution Games, why on Evolution? because they really have a good layout for the game played and really responsive even with a small internet connection. Most of the provider is always provided against the house.

It would be nice If we see against players/users.


That's true ser! I don't play many casino games, and I'm not really much of a gambler, but the best versions of BlackJack and Craps games that I have played are from Evolution, especially the "First Person" versions. I tried the Craps tables from Nucleus, but it was poorly designed, the animation and the sound wasn't very good, and playing the game didn't give me a very good experience from UX/UI standpoint.

A friend also told me that there was also an announcement that traffic lights would also go through a rotational black out? This winter, the joke about turning off Christmas lights as a means to stop the wasteful use of electricity, and as my favorite debate against "wasteful POW electricity usage", is going to become true.

EU no doubt uses this to push their "consume less energy" agenda. It's even weirder in that sense that many European countries have now lowered energy taxes or are even subsidizing energy for companies. High prices are a great way to reduce energy consumption, but also a great way to make voters unhappy. They must be torn between their ideals and their popularity Cheesy


I believe the probable consequences from the decisions that they're going to make from the current energy crisis will be more than just "for the votes" for the next election. If an equilibrium/balance isn't found, it could put their countries into a situation of chaos, and possibly anarchy.

Unlikely. Not much hashing happens in areas with high power prices.


That's the point! There's going to be higher power prices everywhere during the winter.
2105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many numbers can you roll in dice? (ignoring the decimals?) on: September 09, 2022, 11:32:34 AM
Dice is my favourite and majority of my spending is now on Dice. In the past it was on sports betting. I used to prefer mostly x2, but when this doesn't work I prefer using the martingale strategy. Quite often used to try the roll over 99.99 looking for x9900. I've hit this when playing with zero betting amount.
As for me, I still always prefer sport betting, especially the one I know most which is football betting, I prefer it because it offers the opportunity to analyze, but still it is a game of luck because anything can happen, a club you think would win may lose, and a club you think would lose may win.

What I have known about virtual games like dice is that it is more of game of luck, I have seen the martingale strategy to be useful, by just starting to gamble with a very low amount of money, double the money or increase it in certain percentage as you continue to bet if losing, even if the bet does not hit in the first place is not bad at all as you double the money, so if the bet later hit then you have better profit, but I have preferred this strategy only on games that the profit : loss are both 50:50.

Sports betting is for the scholars. Dice is for the lazy who don't like to read books. Both can be very profitable depending on the player.

Martingale however is the biggest scam ever. It is not useful for anything. You are basically doubling down on your losses and with every round you risk more and more while your potential gains are going less and less.

In the end, if the player has a good information about the teams/leagues he is wagering on, then he should bet on sports. If the player has no information at all, then his best chance is playing luck based games.


The only form of gambling that can be "profitable" is the form of gambling that gives you the opportunity to bet/add money to the pot if the odds are in your favor, and the ability to decrease the money if they are not. I believe most of the dice games have a consistent house edge, which will make you mathematically the long term loser.

OP, it's a odds chart from craps. I don't know if it can help,

2106  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: September 09, 2022, 09:29:58 AM
Did you BUY the DIP my dear fellow plebs? Congratulations if you did buy, because there were many people who probably SOLD the DIP expecting Bitcoin to crash lower, probably to "$12,000", https://twitter.com/eliant_capital/status/1567202636302098432

 Cool

I'm not claiming that that was the last, and the lowest DIP of the current bear market cycle because NO ONE knows, but it's personally more mentally relaxing to buy the DIP of $19,000 than if I bought Bitcoin at $39,000.

It's probably another Golden Opportunity to buy Bitcoin if you have some extra savings that you can use for a long term HODL. In two years, I believe we would see Bitcoin double from its current price. Place your bids, it's a good day to buy the DIP. This is not financial advice, merely a suggestion from a fellow pleb.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the first case of readjustment due to the energy crisis has taken place. Large toilet paper maker Hackle is trying to avoid bankruptcy. The star of the pandemic turned out to be too energy-intensive and could not withstand the rapid growth of utility tariffs. At this rate in Germany, it will soon be a problem not only to take a hot shower, but also to wipe your ass. Grin

If at all to talk about what the OP is asking, then I would like to cancel that now, in general, the global trend is towards accelerating people's actions. Even conversational speech is accelerated. And this circumstance dictates the direction of development of online gambling too. So in general it is necessary to gradually reduce the number of games with a long winning process, replacing them with games with instant or quick results. Games of the type such as slot machines or dice, heads and tails, and so on. And accordingly diversify the options for instant wins.
I think this direction of development of online casinos is correct.


I believe not. It would actually make the casinos lose their users over the longer period of the casino's existence. Their users would either be getting bored faster, causing casinos to lose engagement more quickly because the games are "simple", OR their users would lose their money faster, causing them to leave more quickly too.

"Faster" isn't always the best. What casinos should do is give their users more games of engagement, and strategy.
2109  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a game you would like to see in an online crypto casino? on: September 08, 2022, 09:02:14 AM
I don't like the game much. even in the casino I just play craps and sports books. I don't even play cards at the casino.

if the casino develops other games that are more innovative and simple. I'm sure this is a good update. this is a very good idea. there are already many suggestions. but to implement it certainly requires a lot of trial and error.

Already bores me to the core if we do speak about casinos games but there are times which i do really look for slot games but do make out some casual plays and most of the time i do get myself involved

with sports betting and after that if i do feel on playing dice then i do it and then jump after wards in crash games as long my budget or allocation for gambling is still enough for me in doing so.

Of course we do really want to have that new or something that we havent seen in the market before which make things interesting but so far we arent able to see one.


To be honest, casino table games are boring for me too, BlackJack is hard, Poker is stressful/more stressful than trading, BUT CRAPS is a very good game to learn the strategies, and play.

To learn, read this beginner's guide, https://arthscr.ejoinme.org/Portals/6383/Files/Rules-for-Basic-Craps.pdf

There are also YouTube videos available, and you can also play the "fun" mode of First Person Craps by Evolution in BetPlay for practice. It's a very good game, believe me.
2110  Other / Politics & Society / Re: High inflation is causing GLOBAL protests on: September 08, 2022, 08:47:42 AM
Me too.

I can't blame them if they're protesting righteously and fighting for what is right. There are nonsense protests that are just wasting resources and effort.

But if it's a terrible state of the country and these people, the citizens are seeing the wrongdoing of the officials or there's no action being taken then they are doing the right thing of sending them their message.


Perhaps we should be more understanding to those people who are protesting, and they're doing it because it's probably  they have no choice. There's another protest that just started in the Czech Republic because of an energy crisis that's happening in the region. Because if you don't have the feeling that you need to protest, it's probably because you're lucky you live in a region where your basic needs are available and affordable.
I agree.

Being understanding with most of the genuine protests should be done. But if the protests are for nothing and it's just like a diversion tactic related to politics, well, you can understand it clearly as well.

We are with those people that are protesting because they genuinely experience what they're telling to the government and like the one that you've mentioned.

It's a wake up call to those in the seats that their people are suffering and the least that they can do is to listen to them and take actions appropriately and as soon as possible.


I believe many of the protests are genuine, which are caused by the financial hardships that's an effect of inflation. In Indonesia, the people there have started to protest too after their government increased fuel prices by 30%. They protested for several days. That's a big problem for families who are in the lower income bracket. BUT I believe it will be controlled, and it will go down. Although an economic recession would happen.
2111  Economy / Economics / Re: Germans are looking to firewood for energy as natural gas prices soar on: September 08, 2022, 06:40:47 AM
Any alternative with supplies will cost a lot more due to logistical problems. Therefore, a more likely scenario is the purchase of Russian gas in other countries, and according to documents, it will not come from Russia.

I don't think so - because of the same logistical problems. In order to resell Russian gas to the European Union in a democratic package, the intermediary must have some kind of surplus, and no one has such surplus now. Hungary recently agreed with Gazprom on additional gas supplies in the amount of several million cubic meters per day, which will come through the Turkish Stream - and this is perhaps all that the European Union can count on. If Hungary wants to share.


Wasn't Germany the intermediary before? I believe that there might be a conspiracy here. Tin-foil hats on, but the United States might have something to do with this. Because when Germany, the intermediary, has been importing more and more Natural Gas from Russia, they also started being less dependent on U.S. Gas. Isn't possible that the U.S. wants the E.U. to be more dependent on them than the Russians?

Yep. Germany was an intermediary and resold gas to neighbors through a virtual or physical reverse, but now this is in the past - Germany itself does not have enough gas in the conditions of the Nord Stream shutdown.


After reading more about the situation, and talking/learning about it more from smart people, I believe the U.S. didn't intentionally want Germany and the rest of Europe to be a casualty of the conflict. They wanted to use Europe, being the largest buyers of Russian Gas, to stop Russia from invading Ukraine. Biden thought it would be to their advantage, and they thought that Putin would surrender. But Biden never expected Russia's resilience in spite of the sanctions. What should they do now? The U.S. and Europe have no more choice but to keep going unless they swallow their pride and bow to Russia.

I cannot see any Craps games by Evolution in BlackJack.fun, both live and the first person game. But I will go check again later, if I have the time. If it's truly there, and I can't see it, it might not be included in the "Genre" listed as "Craps".


did you try to search Crap on evolution lobby?
because i just did search it and found it in there but it's a first person Crap unfortunately there is no live craps in blackjack.fun

You can't search the live version of craps using the casino search bar because it's not visible using it. You can just see the live version of craps on the evolution lobby under the blackjack category. I really don't know what exactly the reason why the casino database of evolution gaming games is very limited but you can browse the full list of games by evolution gaming on the actual game lobby once you enter on any games by evolution gaming.

Evolution gaming lobby is located on the menu bar once you are on any evolution games screen.


Where do I find the Evolution Lobby under the BlackJack category? Are you talking about the menu beside the casino search bar, or is there something else.

Because for me, these are the only games that appear on the screen if in the menu I choose Evolution, and then "All Games".



Not sure if anyone else experienced the same thing but I'm having a problem to access my account. It says invalid password although am certain I provided the right one.
I tried to reset the password by clicking the "forget password" button, received the email, defined a new password, but it's still not working!
Just for the recird: I entered an incorrect password multiple times before entering the correct one so it may be due to this!
Unfortunately, I can't try with a different browser/device or clear the browser's cache right now (don't ask me why  Tongue). I just wanted to know if someone else had faced something similar before?

Not today but some time ago yes I experienced it even 3 times , I save my password in chrome so I'm pretty sure I'm using the right password but can't login so I'm assuming blackjack.fun just updated something so the user need to update the password. I don't think it's too complicated to reset the password , are you still having trouble?


The same issue also happened to me. I tried two password changes through my registered email before I could log in. The first time didn't work, the second change was successful.

I believe the casino is updating its database, and they might be deleting not very active entries.

Greeting fellow pleb.  

I cannot really disagree in regards to buying on the dip in this price territory since we seem to not know if there is going to be more dip or not..


Greetings ser, no we do not, but it's also a kind of personal preference on what DIP you place your bids and what is your comfort level. Personally, I'm very comfortable in buying the current DIP, it's so deep from where Bitcoin's price was during November. I believe it can't go another 80% lower from current price, that I'm protected from further mental insanity.

I don't blame those who protest rightly and wisely. Because now there are many ways that every citizen can take when protesting for their rights as citizens. So a protest that is in accordance with the rules and also carried out in a wise way will be much better than doing it in a lay way or a one-day action with a duration of several hours as you said before.
Me too.

The history as described by the research of Nick Szabo tells it differently, or some of it. The "assets" that were used as Medium of Exchange were collectibles, and because they were Stores of Value, they became the preferred Medium of Exchange. Because how could there be a social consensus develop around an "asset" to be a Medium of Exchange if the asset itself is not a Store of Value? Why would I trade my drugs with you if your Medium of Exchange is a common rock? If the rock has a Store of Value component, like a diamond, we can talk.

limited utility tribal communities of a small subset era are what you/he describe
i included kingdoms, empires and government controlled versions..


Limited if compared to empires and kingdoms, yes, but it still makes the point that collectibles, and assets as Stores of Value according to social consensus, were wanted, were desired, and were used as Mediums of Exchange because they had value. I believe Bitcoin is taking this path.

Quote

i think you forget to realise that many cultures of forms of kingdoms, empires and governments have existed for THOUSANDS of years


I didn't forget. Medium of Exchange that's issued, endorsed, and their value assured by a Government is also desirable, and for that it has become something valuable. A path impossible for Bitcoin. Because it's not backed by a Government, I believe Bitcoin has to have value as a Store of Value first if it's to be a Medium of Exchange.

Quote

oh and diamonds are not worth the PRICE you pay.


I agree, and I merely used it as an example to make a point. It's either the common rock, or the diamond to trade for the drugs. Which one would the drug dealer accept as payment?

Keeping in mind the most important factor, without gold and silver, all electronic equipment wouldn't exist = bitcoin would not exist. Computers, phones, tv's, etc ALL require silver and gold to be manufactured.


Ser, read the Origins of Money by Nick Szabo, https://nakamotoinstitute.org/shelling-out/

I believe that proves the fact that it DOESN'T MATTER if the Store of Value asset is a metal, pieces of glass, or a SHELL if the social conensus was formed that the Store of Value asset is valuable, or not. It can be debated that Bitcoin would have been worth close to ZERO if it wasn't adopted by the drug dealers of the Dark Markets. But it was, and it has censorship-resistance components that they need which made it valuable for them, and if it was valuable for them, the value surged when many more of them adopted it, and when the value surged, it also has become valuable to US.

social consensus of money is about agreeing on a medium of exchange (not store of value)
that medium can be twigs, shells, pebbles, gold, paper, or crypto

(..........)

Things to Note:
  1. Always apply your stop loss and take profit option
 2. Do not trade with emotions
 3. Have a good source for signal or information about the crypto your trading.
 4. It good to know that your asset can be liquidated when the leverage is high resulting to total loss of funds.

 When trading futures assets, one must be prepared to encounter losses as well as profit but it's advice to stay clear if you can't manage your risk.
Another note to add is "chasing losses" this is one of many common mistakes of traders, this also has a connection with emotions because they are thinking that they can make those losses in just one trade or overnight.


Caused by emotions, which, there are many of you in the millions of participants in the market who might be "chasing losses", making the market more volatile and therefore more profitable for the top 10% of traders who are taking advantage of it.

Quote

This act must be handled properly because capital preservation is a must, it's better not to trade than to chase losses because there are still a lot of opportunities for the next trade.


The problem, is "HOW" if you have a trade open? The solution might be, I have not tried it, I stopped active daily/swing trading before I had the chance, is make a trading system that makes you know before hand, when to buy and how much to buy, and when to close the trade, and pre-program it in your exchange's trading site through the use of the different types of orders.
