For a company like PayPal who love to control their ecosystem...I bet you this stablecoin will make it possible for buyers and sellers to be able to chargeback because buyer/seller protection are among their feature products that make PayPal popular .

Btw, when it comes to PayPal and crypto very few countries have access to this and how will this stablecoin work...will it also be exclusive to a few countries  Roll Eyes Already seeing red flags coming from these guys  Cry

BRICS inclusion of some of these oil rich Arab nations will put pressure on the West and non Brics nations in terms of energy and the economy..and not forgetting one of the major agendas of ending the dollar dominance which has long been threatened as this is turning to be a real tale!!
At this point, I believe even the sanctions put on Russia aren't felt as it's BRICS allies will be at the aid of these guys to trade in whatever commodities they need and it will be business as usual...and seeing what's happening with Oil around the world, tbh BRICS is definitely winning this one and there is no stopping them taking into consideration the 46% of the world's population Influence!!

The best the West can do is go back to the table and draw up new treaties with these guys to make the survival of other nations possible as its not going to negatively affect the USA alone!

This brought me into thinking how do we make people understand Bitcoin properly in order to prevent them from being scammed and end up disliking the crypto space. Is introducing them into Bitcoin talk enough ? If no what else more can we do easily to make them actually get the idea of Bitcoin.
To be honest, I don't blame the majority of people thinking bitcoin is a scam because many of the times..we have a lot of scammers all claiming to multiply funds X times for a small investment and everyone that has done so has nothing nice to say because they not only lost the investment but profits never showed up too.

And worse off, crypto sensitization on how to protect oneself in the cyberspace is hardly done which leaves room of scammers to have an upper hand...which is why due diligence and research should always be encouraged to have first hand information and how to be make crypto smart decisions.

There are too many forum boards, which in fact not needed. -snip-
Good example - In Important Announcements first page newest thread is from 2018, majority from 2013.
Much less forum boards can give a lot more info for members, which is not so complicated and not outdated.
Might seem like a great idea, but then again for the purpose of the forums history

I think this should be kept unless server space is becoming a problem then these are boards to consider for retirement.

Better yet, maybe archive these boards then have them deleted to free up some server space so that whoever needs to visit such can find an archive for reference...

Hope forum admin give me higher rank for good suggestion.  Grin
Nice try buddy 👏

But everyone has to go through the available ranks to get to the top Cheesy and prove yourself you can learn the forums etiquette to avoid playing the I didn't know this rule existed when you get a higher rank.

I saw Drake put up a half of a million dollars on Stake for tonight matchup on Izzy getting a knockout victory.
And this was Drake showing support for his friend as always! And with Izzy losing this match, Drake will unfortunately will be waking up half a million dollars 💵 less as it didn't go his way Cry

I must admit this match was never going to go the Stylebenders way from the second the match started, as Strickland was really excellent both defensively and offensively...Izzy was just off and couldn't land any clean hits on Strickland inspite looking better in the 2nd and 3rd round but wasn't enough to get a decision in his favor.  Better luck next time champ 🤼🏽‍♂️🏆

Welcome to the bitcointalk forum Cryptoplay.io hope you have a pleasant stay here Cool
Seeing all the praise and nice reviews about your platform some of the users above have given..I was forced to visit your site which I found quite colorful & likeable,  though it gave me an impression of Cryptoplay.io being heavily concentrated on casino games than the sportsbooks judging on the limited markets and limited sports you have here which is soccer ⚽️ , and for a user like me who leans towards the sports I would like to see a variety of sport games supported to avoid limiting potential pundits from what they can't and can play Smiley

Otherwise welcome to the BCT forum once again  Smiley

Btw that 10% cash back on losing bets for sports, does it accumulate till you claim or its a one time offer ?
1247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Using Statistical Data to Win Sports Betting Picks on: September 09, 2023, 06:46:11 PM
The fact that history is meant to be broken means you can not rely on statistical data especially that some games tend to favor form over fixture/history.

And if you ask me, I would rather treat all my picks to have a 50-50 chance of winning,  which is why I don't even entertain low odds below 1.50 as they are usually spoilers and high risk as they require huge amounts to fatten the profits!!
Besides, sports games aren't some kind of board game like chess...these games need to be played with emotions, good psychological wellbeing,  external support and a whole lot of stuff which makes it quite unpredictable  Roll Eyes
1248  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your actual dca strategy? on: September 09, 2023, 05:29:10 PM
Instead of just DCAing because you can afford that tinny amount every month well there is a risk you probably don't know about.

Assuming you plan to invest for 12 months by dollar cost averaging, and you keep buying 200$ worth of bitcoin every week or month, do you know that there will be times where the market will go up rather than down? DCAing at such times are increasing your risks.
Totally agree with you, which is why I think DCAing with crypto should have a different approach and factor in aspect of risk!
Am sure many will say that without following the investment plan it might not be called DCAing, but to try and maximize on potential profits..I think  its best to buy when price is low unlike going with systematic crypto investments that can expose you to over priced coins.

There is a saying that, stay away from the green candles, do not chase them.

There is DCAing when the market is going Up and DCAing when the market is going down, well I have been investing since last year now and my DCA on Bitcoin only happens when there is a bigger dip and so far it's my best plan yet.
I admire your plan as it's a basic strategy of buy low and  sell high..well technically without the selling part  Cool But seeing your rules have been tweaked here and there , do you buy several times in a month or only buy coins once .
1249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots with the purchase of bonus games - is it good or bad? on: September 09, 2023, 01:58:01 PM
Am not the casino person to advice on this , but from the numerous videos I have watched on this bonus buys I would say it's a 50-50 thing which can be said to be the fastest way to lose money or the fastest way to make some good money depending on how lucky you are...

And truth be told, such game plays aren't for people with one game hand to play...you need to keep playing to give yourself a winning chance which is the unfortunate thing!

But all in all, you know what they day...of you don't play you can't win.
1250  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is bitcoin moving now? on: September 09, 2023, 05:52:37 AM
Overtime now it seem like bitcoin is lacking direction but from the look of things it has started gaining effectively price direction and this is going to going a long bullishly
From what am looking at... Bitcoin has lost its volatility from what it was known for , and at the moment seems to be ranging with small moves happening here & there which can easily be mistaken for bullish momentum but in reality there is bearish pressure... And looking at the monthly chart it actually suggests that we could be trading bearish until we hit a low before price reverses upwards.

Besides the more obvious reasons such as low liquidity in the market for BUSD and the alike,  but is it also not possible  that this decision of delisting Busd pegged pairs could have been reached because of SECs continued pressure on Binance US and the only way out is to try close shop for one of its big coins ** either BNB or BUSD Huh

Scotland are playing so well currently and the only team that managed to score a goal against them in Group A are Norway, with such solid defense in place, it might be hard for Cyprus to score any goals against Scotland. I guess Scotland should be able to claim another victory in Group A with a clean sheet against Cyprus at the end of the match.
Its just the first half and Scotland has already got three goals against Cyprus ..and am loving how Scott McTominay and McGinn are linking up ..who by the way have all got a goal & an assist each, is anybody going to put a stop to this great show from the Scottish side Roll Eyes I dont think so!

Just feel bad for Cyprus who sit bottom of the table with their fate known to be crashing out of the competition with no win to their name, quite sad  Cry



.
I think Portugal is better than Slovakia even without Cristiano Ronaldo.
Slovakia are playing really well without fear and have even been able to create some goal scoring opportunities. They are defending well against a very good Portugal team with many talented players like Ronaldo, Fernandez, Rafeal from AC Milan, Cancelo, Dalot, Bernando Silva, but still no way for them to get their game really going to create any chance. The only chance they have had in this game was from a mistake by the Slovakia defense. If Slovakia win this game, they really deserve it. They have played well with the ball and when not with the ball. They are a hardworking team.

Slovakia was much better then Portugal in the first half and its a shame that they didnt score a goal and after a couple of misses Bruno Fernandes with a beautiful goal punished them and i think Portugal has opened them even more and can score two more goals to finish this match.

Stats say otherwise, Portugal has enjoyed more of the ball and mathematically created more goal scoring chances, and with the squad they have fielded today I expect them to come out guns blazing in the second half!
1253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: September 08, 2023, 06:11:57 PM
People don't have statistics to play gamble and that is why some of the gambling enthusiasm do experience (shege in gambling... meaning much loses in a gambling) so it's good for gamblers to know a specific amount that should go out in their wallet weekly or monthly.
You know the funny thing about gambling,  when starting off everyone has these plans on how they will gamble with X amount and not go passed a certain threshold...but when the games start and you win a good amount of money and think you can do it one more time with a double or nothing and lose that round...this is the turning point that pushes everybody to try win back what they lost and then go off script..

When you check the statistics of who is on constant gambling of different kind of gambling either casino, poker game and other gambling games, should check the funds that goes out of them monthly because of gambling and they funds they received in a month and annually in gambling if they are of the same amount.
Can't speak for these kind of gamblers but by doing this.. chances are high that you will start to chase your loses which could lead to losing even more money!
That's why they say , if you are going to gamble then gamble with funds you can afford to lose!!
1254  Economy / Economics / Re: To afford personal education or a property? Where to allocate funds? on: September 08, 2023, 03:57:55 PM
Let's suppose you have a limited budget which can be used only for one of the alternatives below:

What is the best investment, in your opinion? To use this money to pay for your education, so you can conclude a superior course and achieve a higher degree, having access to a wide jobs' market, or to use that money to acquire an apartment, house or piece of land, so you can make a passive income from this?
First and foremost,  if we compare the two we can clearly see that investing in a piece of land or acquiring an apartment will require alot of capital and will probably take it in one bite leaving you will no change to spare, unlike going the route of education which you can pay as you go and will be friendly on the pocket.

Tbh, go for the education as this will make you job ready when you are done with your tertiary studies and if the chosen profession is high demand you could be getting that piece of land in no time thanks to a good pay!!

It brings the following question up: what is more valued in life: to be or to have? Does it make someone fulfilled to have while not being or being without having anything?
Honestly we are all wired differently and what I would prefer here someone will not want a piece of it.. and all goes down to preference!

El Salvador doing the most when it comes to bitcoin & crypto adoption! I mean what haven't they done, they have legalized bitcoin use, adopted crypto/bitcoin in their school curriculum which is unheard of...if only that bitcoin investment they had could grow to repay them for putting all their eggs in one basket!

Source:
The El Salvador government has again I'm the bid to promote bitcoin adoption draft out a plan of teaching about 150 teachers from 7 different schools who will in turn teaching school students about the basics of  bitcoin and it's related content.
I wonder how long this project will take to get the teachers crypto ready because this crypto thing needs personal interest for you to easily catch it.. otherwise hope it works for ElSalvador.

Can anyone please check what was the Bitcoin Price on CoinMarketcap? I sent a DM to Sinbad a few days ago, but they did not reply to me and they sent the prize to the winners, and I received it. But, I believe I should be the 2nd winner.
Learn Bitcoin you got your prize and nothing can be done about it, besides based on the competition moderators price of $27,475.34, dkbit98 price prediction was much close to $27,475.34 than yours by 71.84 and yours 120.34

Which is why you shouldn't give price of cutoff day and declare yourself a winner in it! Have a great day  Cool

1260  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Government vs Bitcoin on: September 07, 2023, 07:01:06 PM
Governments frequently misunderstand bitcoin innovation.
This impression arises from the disproportionate bans and regulations they enact.
Bans and regulations are usually done in the best interest of the citizens (we the people), as the fiat system allows them to collect taxes with its already integrated system which has been working for many years now, though efficiency is questionable!

On the other hand , having to allow crypto without a regulatory frame work opens doors for taxes not to be paid, washing of money can be made much easier etc So at the end of it all its not Government misunderstanding this technology,  besides when you talk about the government its the representation of what the citizens want..if they want crypto legalized it's possible to make this happen through our representatives .
