3741  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins will reach all time high on 2021 on: November 22, 2020, 04:44:31 PM
It looks like some of them are already trying for that, many of them are just x3 away from ATH and that is not really that incredibly in altcoin world. I have seen plenty of altcoins make x3 just this year, with one more year under their belt they could certainly break their all time high.

I can't guarantee anything because they had a great year this year and that means they could have a very bad year next year, who knows?

But at least it looks possible more than ever and that is why I believe it is quite important that we stay hopeful about all time high for altcoins. There are tons of people who made good returns from bitcoin this year, they will be looking to move to altcoins to keep on profiting because bitcoin will stop somewhere (looks stopping even right now).
3742  Economy / Economics / Re: new central banks currenicies vs fiat currency? on: November 21, 2020, 09:07:15 PM

the goverments have plan to create their own cryptocurrenicies, so the btc and eth was just testing currencies to see how it works and get people to use with cryptocurrenies?
first whats wrong with fiat currency? the cash is works good nothing wrong with this.
second how they are going to control how much to issue the currency and how the value will be backed?
and by who the transparanscy is guranteed?
The government is creating digital currency, but there is nothing wrong with the fiat, it’s still going to be there even after they have created and released their own digital currencies.

The digital currency they are creating is for things to be better, but it’s still similar to the fiat money, I don’t know why they are making it seem like their central bank digital currency will be something very different, nah it wouldn’t, and it’s going to be issued by central banks, it’s same as holding fiat. Already there are much we can do without the need of the digital currencies they are trying to create.
3743  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin has just halved for the third time! A snaphot of various metrics! on: November 21, 2020, 05:22:53 PM
A little update after three months.
A brief recognition on mining industry: it's has been an hell of a battle,, but at the end some winner is surfacing!

Difficulty exploded after the halving.
As expected the difficulty in mining Bitcoin increased and the rewards halved. And also that means the level at which coins will be supplied will be reduced and demand will get passed the supply and the price will increase to fit in with that high level of demand. The miners are still going to be able to recover what they are investing in buying new equipment. Some of them complained at the start due to the earlier drop, now that price is up $18.9k they will be happy about it.

There are some that even quit from mining after Halving, because they thought it was going to be a waste of their time buying new miners, because their old miner couldn’t keep up.
3744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lottery Gambling on: November 20, 2020, 09:26:08 PM
I haven't encountered this kind of lottery online, much less one which accepts Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, although this is prevalent in my community as well. But most of it are being ran by illegal gambling operators which do not pay taxes to the government but pay a slice of its income to local law enforcement authorities apparently for protection.
Yeah and these illegal operators are actually scam because they are not working on a fair model and they see which lottery number has been sold least and they will list it out as the winner. I will explain how this works in my country, basically they you can buy 1 number from 1-9 and they will reveal the winning number by tomorrow morning via various channels such that everyone knows yet there is no proof for legal authorities to catch them. So basically the number sold least is the number they declare as winner and earning huge profits.

To be honest, I cannot find any viable strategy on this kind of game. This is purely about luck, one which comes more seldom than the blue moon. The reason why the illegal operators of this game are fast becoming filthy rich is that there are too few winners, perhaps oftentimes none, in every draw.
Exactly and you cannot complain about them either because you played an illegal lottery in first instance and then there is no proof of how you were cheated and who they are.
3745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe NBA is rigged? on: November 20, 2020, 08:24:41 PM
The league would not risk their billions of revenue just to rigged games, what would that help them? If they got caught, the entire organization will be shut down and that revenue will stop, let's be realistic here, refs, players, or one of the officials could influence the game but the whole organization is not making it, that's for sure.
i think you are right with this they won't destroy their reputation that easily and lose revenue just to rig the game i agree that if there would be a rig here the organizations have nothing to do with it.
The only way the games can be rigged is through referees because look the players playing the NBA game are young and talented but they are paid way beyond what a fixer would pay them and they know if the match fixing is caught their contracts will end, their careers will come to a halt and most important they even will have to forfeit the money they took from the fixer/gambler.

Referees on the other hand play a big role like they also play a big role in MLB for calling Strike and someone who watches these leagues know how crucial a single strike call can be and what impact it has on the entire game. Similarly they can make a bad call or a no-foul call in the last moments of an NBA game and change it completely and they are not paid close to what players earn so they are the soft target.
3746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any insurance service for gamblers to retain heavy losses....??? on: November 20, 2020, 07:24:15 PM
As far as I know such insurance service doesn't exist. It would be just to risky and I don't know how could be that even profitable so I don't know how could anyone decide for such business idea. Besides, to my opinion that would only encourage gambling addiction so impact wouldn't be acceptable.
I would say rakeback or cashback is the only option a gambler has to gain some of the lost amount. The thread was opened in 2017 and there might be not many casinos that offer such services but now almost every casino and some even sportsbooks offer rakeback for users and there are varius other perks for high rollers.

I believe players should actually consider checking the VIP program before starting their betting because at times some casino offer more rakeback but they earn more via higher house edge while there are some casinos that will offer lower rakebacks but they offer minimal house edge so it depends on us which one suits us better.
3747  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins I have in my wallets on: November 20, 2020, 01:53:21 PM
I currently mining or have mined these altcoins, I would to know which coin the board thinks has a ggod chance of higher advancement in the future long or short term. The coin are : Bitbar, digibyte, zero, komodo, zel, vidulum, einsteinium, Lbry credit, bitcoin gold, verge, beenode, ycash, gleec, bitcoin sv, litecoin, zcsh, verus, bitcoinz, zclassic, and safecoin
Bitcoin gold? Like who still talks about bitcoin gold at this time, I even thought the coin died off after the fork since a lot of exchanges rejected it. I can remember very well that the exchange I was using then we’re sending their users mail to exchange their Bitcoin Gold’s for Bitcoin after the fork, and I also did the same, and since then I have not heard anyone talking about it or seen it on the news.

I am just surprised that you’re mining it. Among the whole coins you have listed, for me, Litecoin is the one that has a very good chance of advancement in future, even as there is a bull run approaching, it’s going to rise in price.
3748  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China’s Miners Struggle to Pay Power Bills, Regulators Clamp Down on OTC Desks on: November 20, 2020, 04:46:27 AM
What else are you expecting from a country with a government that doesn’t let them exercise their right in most situations? They have released their own cryptocurrencies and of course they will be expecting their Chinese citizens to be making use of the digital Yuan, and they will see Bitcoin as a threat to their own digital money that’s being released.

Anyway, that is not going to stop Bitcoin, Chinese people are not the only people that are mining Bitcoin, there are so many other countries where Bitcoin is being mined. With that said I still know for sure that what their government is doing is quite wrong, it would have been better if what they did was regulate it to avoid money laundering and all that, but banning it completely is something I don’t like at all.
3749  Economy / Services / Re: looking for partner with paypal account (receiving payments) on: November 19, 2020, 08:25:43 PM
Warning, if you have PayPal account don't give out to people because they can fund your account with illegal money and you will be in trouble or even get arrested, you can be accused of funding terrorists or cabals, be very careful, Paypay accounts carries your full details don't be stupid
Not only with paypal. But, it is same with every payment processing company. They all have all the details and will share them with govt agencies when they require due to any illegal activity and nowadays so many cryptocurrency exchanges and projects also have all the user's data and can leak them whenever they want.

So, do not share your account with random people and let them receive payment to your account. It can cause so many trouble to you later on. Always prevention is better than curing Smiley.

Another day, another promotion!

We have teamed up with @Hhampuz yet again to bring you this awesome promotion. Good luck!

This is a nice idea of involving members of forum for your campaign in a way. Though some of them may not be directly associated with Duelbits in terms of promotion but when you do take part in it, somehow you feel a good thing and on top if you happen to win the prize as well you somehow feel it is your part only and get associated with it. So this is beneficial for a long term perspective as well.  
Any casino Hhampuz is associated with, he takes them to next level just like he did with roobet and hopefully will keep bringing more contest with duelbits and other casinos he is working with, always a pleasure to see these coming.

I have seen guys hitting amazing wins on Jammin jars so I tried my luck but hasn't so lucky and did not manage to win anything significant but I felt like I was around the corner in my hunt of winning big.

Can someone please suggest some good slots with buy-in feature? There are so many slots I get confused so would love to know some tested good slots from you guys Smiley.
3751  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will be hitting to $35000 soon - Buy it today!! on: November 19, 2020, 01:55:15 PM
I've seen this prediction from my social media account some of my online friends are posting that it would hit $35K.
But that's just it same as OP they are posting without any explanation.
I know that $35K is realistic and it could really happen but why set it there? why not $25K or $30K is there any explanation why most of them are telling $35K?
Maybe you can ask your friends why they are saying $35k specifically because if everyone is saying exactly $35k then maybe there must be some solid reasoning behind it, because $35k is a odd amount to predict. But, if more than one technical analysis are predicting the same region of price levels then we need to accept them and then only time will prove their accuracy.

for sure Bitcoin will go to $ 35k but not till this year-end...
I also believe that $35k is a far possibility even though the movement in recent past has been great but really it is always expected to grow around new year and I think maybe $25k is realistic but $35k is far too high. Still, with bitcoin markets anything will be possible.
3752  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best trading platform? on: November 19, 2020, 01:25:33 PM
I was using Binance and Bittrex last few years and I think this is the best exchanger for trade. On the other hand. these exchangers are also smooth and safe and secure. Coinbase is my one favorite exchanger and i am using this exchanger for other coinbase transactions.So there have a lot of exchangers on online platforms but chose the best exchanger for you.I strongly recommended this exchanger to anyone.
I have used both of them and I honestly do not like Bittrex because their support system is horribly bad, at least my encounter with them was terrible and the problem was not solved, I deposited coins to an address that is owned by them but they refused to help me out. I know I should not have deposited but at least since they own the wallet they could and should have helped. Binance is fluent although I never had similar encounter there so don't know how they would have reacted.

You have correctly chosen Binance, but why choose Wazirx and Ezbitex?
Yes, all of them have their own favorites, but try to explain why you chose Wazirx and Ezbitex,
for Binance I already understand.
WazirX might be coming as a recommendation from users in India as I read an article and they are the biggest exchange in India and they had some partnerships with Binance which makes them look trustworthy.

i just made a deposit, and then website went off.
exit scamming?
i'm really confused.
Hey man, every website has downtime and indeed SB sometimes have little issues and it takes too long to load and times out but no way you can even dream of them doing an exit scam. They have been my betting home since the departure of directbet and really been like 2 years or more but I have not faced single problem apart from little downtimes which are understandable.

it works now, i almost shit myself. Tongue

all good now, but slow  Sad

By the way guys there is a promotion of using the SB app and earning 1 mBTC free bet so try it out Wink.
3754  Economy / Economics / Re: Dow Jones could crash by up to 4000 points if Biden locks USA!!! on: November 18, 2020, 04:19:11 PM
Maybe if there is a full lockdown that will strictly prevent people from going out to anywhere, then it might help to contain the virus. If you check, the last lockdown that was done in the USA didn’t really help stop the virus, instead it kept going up, and I am guessing maybe because some people were sneaking out or something, and when they do, they go out to contact the virus.

But one thing I know for sure, is that any lockdown is going to bring the economy down, it’s going to happen for sure. And if they would go on a lockdown and come out without the virus being contained 100%, then it will be a wasted time.

There are always users who are trying to ruin or demolish reputations. I should not pay to much attention into these users.
If you keep feeding them, they will have the reasons to reply.
After looking through his negative feedback and following up what transpired back then. I stopped believing the crap he's posting. If he's trying to create a smear campaign against Bustabit, then he's totally wasting his time.
Yeah, obviously people who do not know how bustabit works and how provably fair system works will always try to find a way to blame the casino when they lose, they can't accept the fact that they are a gambler that ended up losing something mathematically destined to make them lose in the end. Do not try to find a way or a system that helps the casinos "cheat you out of your money" because there is none that is hidden, it is right out in the front page and you end up having that as your reason to lose, it is called house edge and that is it.

Back on wang tang, do you guys think he will continue to gamble thousands of bitcoins again and try to recoup what he has lost? Or will he be smarter about his money this time around and not make the same mistakes he did last time?
3756  Economy / Economics / Re: Need of the hour : Use the Crisis on: November 16, 2020, 10:18:57 AM
One of them is starting small businesses, think about what items people need in a pandemic situation, that can be an idea for your business.
I think selling healthy foods that can increase your body's immunity can be a good idea for your business.
That is right but the truth is that, you need a huge amount of capital to start a new business and taking loans to start a new business then creates extra pressure on your which also brings a new risk, if somehow you are not able to succeed with your new business then you start digging a bigger hole because you need to take more loans to pay that loan or try something else. It becomes a really frustrating cycle and I have seen people taking loans to lift their existing business and it did not go very well.

I believe service is the best option in such times because you don't need capital and you are just selling your skills to earn money like freelancing is a good example or you can try to contact local shops and work for them, etc.
3757  Economy / Economics / Re: The Difference Between Staking and Investing on: November 16, 2020, 05:00:54 AM
It will only be good if the cryptocurrency you’re holding is a stablecoin, since they are not volatile like Bitcoin and are pegged to the USD, which means they won’t be getting you profit, it would be best to stake them and make a few percentage annually or so, but as for Bitcoin, staking it doesn’t make any sense to me.

I would prefer to just leave it in my wallet and when the price goes up I can decide to sell it later and get the profit, and that wouldn’t take a lot of time to do.
Well, the lock period for staking is not a big problem because I don't know for other coins but I stake TRX and they only lock coins for 3 days which means if I stake my TRX coins today I will only have to face a lock period of 3 days after which I can spend the coins. If you don't believe the coin will even retain it's value for 3 days then it is actually not worth investing in first place for that coin.

I agree though in some cases hodling can be better than staking and maybe for coins where lock period is longer and the volatility is high in those cases it is indeed best to just hold your coins and wait for the right time.

Imagine having so much money you dont have to care if its a good idea or not especially, it has some justification to take the Lambo because BTC price can suffer harsh sell offs at some points.   I dont think we really sell off at the moment but the price did rise alot.    I'm waiting for the dude who takes the Lambo as the prize because hey he has the money spare already and wants to do a road trip and tell the story of how he won the car along the way.   Its not impossible we get a winner like that who would pop up on the thread and post us pics from his cannonball, I can dream  Cool
I have met with people who had a lot more money than this and they were just chatting in telegram like it is not a big deal. Not many people really care about having huge sums of money, obviously we all care about having enough money to support our families, if you have a steady income that you do not doubt won't go down and you keep getting that income forever which supports your family, and have a certain amount invested at the side both for your future and your kids future and also in case of emergencies and all that, rest is just being a bit spoiled and greedy. I know a guy who has 2 million dollars at the side and about 5-6 thousand dollars monthly income and he is just like you and me, he wakes up and goes to work comes home watches tv and sleeps, maybe eats a bit better because he likes quality food and cooking but that is a bit personal and not about money I suppose.

PayPal finally accepting Bitcoin is good news, but there is a question I have been asking for long, and since this PayPal cryptocurrency doesn’t work in my country yet I keep asking whether people can as well send the cryptocurrency they buy to other people no matter the wallets they are making use of; let’s say sending Bitcoin from your PayPal wallet after purchase to a BitPay wallet, is that going to work?

Or is it just buying and selling and holding till you’re ready to sell again? I pin my hopes on more of these happening in the future, really good.
3760  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: UPS AND DOWNS IN BOUNTY ACTIVITIES on: November 14, 2020, 03:19:08 PM
New projects that gives away this type of bounty usually do not do it because they are giving free money and they are charitable organizations, they do it because you help them get more known, the more they have people who hunt for their bounty means there is more people who work to get their name heard, and the idea is that if they give away free tokens but get heard enough that during their pre-sale they get a lot of funding, they would be able to cover that difference and make a profit.

Also these teams got these tokens for free, they created it, so it is safe to say that they are not losing any money neither, they are just giving away something free and claim it worths money. So at the end of the day, bounty programs are not there to help you, it is there to help the projects.
