1501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ask]; Start betting on horse racing gambling. on: July 22, 2020, 11:08:40 AM
This game is a good classic game but the chance on winning on it multiple times is very low. I remember also that my uncle was always leaving with empty pockets even though he consistently betting every week and made a lot of analysis. LOL

My uncle didn't play this game for almost a decade because he don't want to waste his money as he really overcome being addicted to it. I remember him carrying a lot of money and food every time he go home. Most of the time, he also gave me money but there is a time that he's getting home disappointed about his virtual horse racing gambling.

Horse racing is an old game and this is very common in our place that has offline horse racing machine, people wants to bet just drop coin before you will place a bet. Unfortunately, this become illegal now because they found out that the games are not fair to everyone.
We are talking about real horse racing not using a machine.

But there are some similarity between the two, they are played in different platforms but they have different feeling towards a gambler. The game that @DoubleHunter was talking about are those illegal virtual horse racing that is unfair to those gamblers.

I don't think that horse racing that the OP stated nowadays are illegal.

Whatever it was, we always think that everything could be done better.

Most of the people are thinking with that same thought, we really can get through this, but that's not enough for this discussion.

We want to know your situation if the government in your place is doing good or fine.

It is really hard to think about the reality that we are suffering in this kind of situation. We are trapped and struggling and it depends on our government on how they can make our feelings better. Economic crisis is not a joke and most of us are really struggling financially. Just don't blame your government, instead speak about truth to address the main focus on this crisis, and so that they know their priority.

The thing with the recent twitter hack is that the fake btc promotion came from the verified accounts so it's really hard not to fall for it.

But every one of us does have time to seek for a tweet's legitimacy if the offer that they are willing to give is legit. We need confirmation from those celebrities if their statement is true that they do bitcoin promotion. Don't just deal with it and fall for that scam. There are a lot of ways to find the truth not only the proof of their verified accs.

The first thing people should realize is there are no free money.

There's no such thing as a free money, because all of the things in the world requires effort and contribution for you to grow as an individual or financially.

No one want double your money. If you think that there are people ready to double your money you will lose for sure.

High profile people only give money to those who are really in need like those charities, or financial support for those poor people. But a normal people like you, they will probably not give you free money or double your btc, that's very impossible to happen.

I would say, at a minimum, he has not read the threads he is posting in.
There are many users like this, only based their response on the title and not even bothered to read the main content.

Yes, most of the people here, especially those newbies to jr. member, they are only giving their opinion about the title and they didn't even read the whole post or article. They also don't read other people's post or reply that's why they are having an awful replies that is very far different from the topic or content. Those people make the discussion complex that's why other people are having a hard time to reply whether they can understand it or not.

This virus is causing damage to the world which also making people to feel uncomfortable in they home's,
Take look of  President's of country is not comfortable because of face mask.

Does it make sense? Wearing face mask is not a huge problem. Government authorities can still do their duty towards this pandemic even if they are not comfortable using face masks. Instead, Presidents have a lot of money and they can personalize one if they want to become comfortable. We are all suffering from this virus and we are all experiencing discomfort with the use of face mask everyday and we need to deal with it.

Corona virus has changed my country academic calendar and students are frustrated in educational system because of covid19
World health organization (WHO) should look towards  corona virus properly.

That's why they are pushing online classes so that they can still study inside their home. But the problem is that not everyone can afford to buy a gadget or device where they can access during online classes. Not all people are rich enough to study online classes and the government should think of a more effective approach towards this.

World health organization (WHO)
Should research more for effective drugs that can destroy this virus.

WHO and other countries are doing their best to invent and discover a vaccine that we can use soon, so as soon as possible, wait patiently.

~snip~
My question is, do you think about what happened on this, does it affect Bitcoin? Negative or positive?

It is obviously negative, those hackers are really destroying the reputation of cryptocurrency towards its security in the market. Especially that they use high profiles and one of the most used social media platform in the internet. Maybe, a lot of victims will trust and fall on their trap as they are using almost real offer towards cryptocurrency. Probably, most of the victims are newbies and unaware of these happenings in cryptocurrency community. But for a normal crypto users, he will seek information first and look for an evidence and proof that these high profiles are really doing that offers and make their money become doubled. Always find the truth if the twitter post is legit and if it is really posted by the real user's account. Don't fall for those scams.
1507  Economy / Economics / Re: Business / private sector is dead on: July 21, 2020, 03:47:05 AM
Well first off what country are you even referring to? This is a global forum. Also, you're right, business is hurting all around there is no question about that.  My own career has come under great fire of late, people aren't able to transact like normal in large part.

There is no specific places that encounters that because all of the places are in a global economic crisis.

Most of the people who are working just to have a food for his family are having a hard time due to slack businesses.

It is not a joke to have a business that is not that performing well due to lack of customers, but I hope that we overcome this struggle. Business sector is having a difficulty surviving itself especially that they are unable to operate and people are prohibited to go outside. This is just temporary, we need to face the reality that we are in a recession and we will overcome this soon. You should focus on your basic necessities and help those markets to have some profits.
1508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Allegedly Coinbase prevented 1,000 customers From Sending Funds to the Hackers on: July 21, 2020, 03:17:15 AM
Excellent operational work. If all exchanges had taken such measures in time, the hackers would probably have received significantly less.
What do you think?

Just this time, coinbase had performed its duty to safeguard the funds of its client.  Honestly it is a good job for them in preventing their 1000 clients from losing money on that recent scam attempt.  Just for this moment, even though we experienced bad Customer Service from them, we should at least be appreciative to the fast action of blacklisting the scammer address to prevent further damage to their customers.

This is what we should look for in an exchange, protecting us from those hackers by cancelling transactions if they are suspicious. Coinbase will surely increase and improve its reputation towards other people who are looking for a good crypto exchange. We need more of this and I hope that Coinbase should be a role model for other exchange to have a high security and safety in its customer's transactions. Imagine, 30.4 bitcoin that is equivalent to $278,000, and that's a huge amount of asset. If Coinbase didn't prevent that sending of money, probably those hackers will celebrate, but we are glad that Coinbase did its responsibility as an exchange.

Last month I has my 78th birthday

Belated happy birthday!!! I hope that I reach that age because I want to live longer. That's the reason why even when I'm still young, I invested in using bitcoin because I know that bitcoin will give me a bright future bitcoin will secure my needs in the future. I'm just enjoying my adult life. I believe that you have done a lot of things and you will do more until you become a wiser man. Wishing you a good health and more power. Hopefully, you become more successful in life and you achieve your goal.

I have heard that once you are affected by covid 19 and survive it (remain alive) then your immunity system will not let you affect by the virus again ?

How true is that ?

It's completely true. It's basic biology. You get infected by a pathogen, your body builds up immunity through antibody production which recognizes virus particles and destroys them. The only case of someone getting "reinfected" by COVID-19 is if they had the disease once and get infected by a mutated form. Your body will repeat the cycle again producing antibodies against the mutated form.

But did you hear about the news in South Korea in April 2020? T''''''''hey said that those patients who recovered can still become positive again after having a negative result in a tests.

It is still not safe to go outside even if you are a Covid-19 survivor, because there is still a risk that you can infect other people. But in the article, they said that maybe it is a technical error during a test. After a recovery, dead virus fragments can still be there inside a Covid-19 survivor's body and it can reactivate. It can really make us anxious about our surroundings so it is still risky to go outside, so as soon as possible, stay at home for the sake of everyone.

1511  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance compared to other Crypto Exchange. on: July 20, 2020, 05:37:26 AM
At the present time Binance to trade relatively better than other exchangers. The trading volume and liquidity of the altCoins listed on the Binary Exchange are very high which makes traders interested in trading here. Each exchanger has some different features that make the exchangers attractive to traders and in this case,Binance is much better exchange than  Bittrex.
Of course, Binance will be much better than Bittrex because Binance is always changing to suit the needs of investors and never stands still so this is the main reason why this exchange is always successful. There is currently no exchange that can be compared to Binance because its liquidity is considered to be the most stable in the crypto market. In addition, some exchanges like Okex or Huobi are the second options that you should consider because these two exchanges are also a lot of people choose when investing.

Binance security is also good compared to other crypto exchange, in contrast with Bittrex, in 2018, bittrex got hacked and probably they already fixed that issue.

That's the reason why Binance is the best for me, I suggest you to try it and make your own conclusions towards this platform. Not only the transactions are always successful and fast, but its services are really satisfying. Coinbase is good also if you want to have another option. They have small differences but Binance is much faster and its crypto wallet that it provides is really secured and I'm confident with that whenever I trade. If you need to search more information about exchanges that is guaranteed and reputable, probably you will see Binance on the top of the list.
1512  Economy / Economics / Re: The unfortunate event that is Quarantine. on: July 20, 2020, 05:07:43 AM
My country is third world in most parts so I can see all the bad stuff happening back home, not even now but even before the pandemic happened. This crisis will as usual hit the vulnerable and the poor even more. Can't believe I'm seeing stories about this being a leveler when clearly the rich and privileged will survive this all right.

We need to fix the structure of economy and education first to make sure we never get into this again.

This quarantine is only good for our health but not for our economy, it is really hard to face the truth that this Covid-19 is existing and killing a lot of people.

Life is so unfair. Most of the type of person who are really affected by this pandemic are those poor people who have nothing but relying on their job just to have food for their family. Those rich people are getting treated like a VIP in many establishments especially in the hospital. Here in our country, if you are rich, you have power and that should not be the mindset of the people here. The government here is irresponsible and they don't use the budget in a proper way that's why we are really suffering. We need to choose a responsible and accountable government soon.

1514  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Finally used a bitcoin ATM successfully! on: July 18, 2020, 04:40:00 PM
Would be much better if you could take a video since it was your first experience. Friend tried to used one of them and he said there is a camera on the device to take a photo from you even if you don't want to and this is really against the privacy right. It's like forcing people to sharing their real ID. He tried to cover up the camera with his hand and the ATM didn't work any more with a covered camera. Maybe not all the ATMs using this method but you could maybe try this way.

If you tried to record that scenario and upload it or even capture a picture of that BTC atm that will be a memorable thing for you.

The camera also serves as the security so that if a crime happen in front of a BTC ATM they can record it so that they can easily catch those criminals. Maybe, that's also a privacy and security purposes, also the authorities are the one who will take care of your identity. Don't be scared of that camera, it is for your own safety and benefits.

I want to experience using BTC ATM machines also because this is a rarely thing to happen to have a BTC machine near in my place.

Next bitcoin memorable dates
2100 - History begins...

It is much better if you said 2109, the first century of bitcoin.

Probably in that time, people will still not know who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Bitcoin can do a lot of things and is really unpredictable so maybe in that long span of years, its price increase than we can imagine. It is impossible for the bitcoin's price to have a value of 0 in the market as it became the most used and popular cryptocurrency that regulates in the market. There are a lot of improvements that can happen in the bitcoin if we have an optimistic point of view towards bitcoin.

In terms of market size, gambling industry really have a huge impact in the economy. As this pandemic is ongoing, we all know that physical casinos are closed and some are open, that's the reason why online gambling is put into place. These online casinos are really contributing and it serves as the alternative for those closed physical casinos. Although it is not that much effective in a market size because they are online casinos and some online gambling platforms are not that known by other gamblers who used to play in a physical casino. So technically speaking, the market size of gambling is really huge. Probably, after this pandemic, gambling industry will boom due to those people who didn't gamble as this quarantine make them unable to play.
1518  Economy / Economics / Re: Did COVID-19 Bring Any Positive Sign? on: July 16, 2020, 11:19:33 AM
For me, this Covid-19 pandemic awakened us to become mindful about the reality that we are living right now. It made us really conscious about what is really happening in our society and what type of government do we have. Many people really became enlightened about the reality that our country can't handle this pandemic properly due to lack of financial management and not having a responsible leader.

Also, this pandemic enhanced our approach towards technology. This pandemic made us become flexible and push the advantages of technology for our students just to benefit and continue their studying and learning. But we should also consider that this positive signs are not the thing that we need to take action. We should also prioritize those negative sign and correct it before this pandemic become worse.
1519  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk Twitter hacked on: July 16, 2020, 10:38:26 AM
Tweet removed.  But it was definitely from his account.  I blocked the wallet to prevent anyone silly enough to think he'd actually do anything like it.

Quite the high profile account to get hacked though.




Even high profile people are neither exempted nor secured to that kind of crimes in using social media platforms.

There is a scenario here that one of those internet provider companies here in our country was hacked by the Anonymous due to a bad service with a high fees. People are really suffering from slow internet connection, and yet, they are charging their customers with a high bills. That's the reason why the Twitter account of that company was hacked and Anonymous posted something and threatened the company to fix their issue and have a good service towards its customer. No one is safe in social media especially if it includes money, you are more prone to those hacking events even those people who use cryptocurrency.
1520  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you use a trading Bot? on: July 15, 2020, 06:59:23 AM
Usually,one of the unique style on trading is dedication.practically you need to learn how it works for you whereas it is basically used for someone who believes that nothing is impossible.So trading bot is a part of your fixed assets combination with some category because you need to take over about the right thing to sustain.

Courage also will help you become more determined in learning a lot of things in trading.

I don't see myself using trading bots no matter what struggle hits me in my trading journey. I believe that only myself will help me earn big amount of profits and not those trading bots that do not know how to adjust on its own depending on the market situation.

Being a trader, you should always consider your patience and timing on when to perform transactions.

Most of the traders are knowledgeable and using trading bots, but not that knowledgeable in performing manual trading. I want you to know that manual trading is the most effective thing that a trader should practice and improve because when you do that, your technical analysis will become much worth it.
