1521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: April 12, 2021, 07:10:45 PM
I only use a mobile internet connection to my laptop, but I always check the connection by pinging to some website to check how the connection is. But so far, I do not have trouble and the connection run smooth. Playing gambling does not need a high-speed internet connection, but some gambling games that need an image will need a good internet connection. I feel annoyed if I see a lack of time to opening the website or it takes seconds to load a full page. But so far, I can hande it.

I agree that playing online gambling does not require an internet connection that is too fast, but requires a stable internet connection.
My experience using a mobile internet connection has a few problems, because the mobile internet has a shortage of instability,
sometimes it is affected by  the weather and the number of users in the area. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for a full page to load,
and if that happens a little bit annoys me. Therefore I prefer to use cable internet over fiber optic, which has proven to be more stable.
1522  Economy / Economics / Re: donating 50% of the vaccines purchased to the government. on: April 11, 2021, 09:45:09 PM
There's always something wrong in the system, if the government allocates and uses the funds they have properly there won't be any need to suck private companies' money requiring them to donate half of the vaccines they purchase to the government. The main root of this is corruption, some politicians are using this pandemic to their advantage. We are facing the same problem here in our country where Pfizer was not able to get approval because they were not able to contact the one in charge of the vaccine. The government wants the vaccine from China which has little efficacy compared to Pfizer. The obvious reason is they have a cut from it for every vaccine they buy in China.
Has anyone read the recent news, Chinese top control disease official admits the low efficiency of their vaccine. Now, this is really a screw up. How can you trust their vaccine if their top official admitted himself about its low performance? And what will happen if there will be bad side effects instead of protecting the person from the virus? The governments really need to think about which vaccine will be good for its people. Not because of some political agenda. I hope we all surpass this human trial very soon.

Therefore, I am very surprised by countries that provide their citizens with vaccines from China which are proven to have a very low level of effectiveness.
I agree that the government should choose the best vaccine for its citizens and not because there is a political agenda to sacrifice the health of its citizens.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious problem and must be handled seriously too, so it is the government's obligation to provide the best for its citizens.

If the government made their own cryptocurrency it would be very different from Bitcoin. Because it certainly can't be used for trading, 
maybe government-made crypto is almost the same as stable coins which have a price based on fiat prices. After all, government-made
crypto will become a centralization which will be controlled by the government and central bank, so it is not transparent and there is
no freedom to control our own finances. The conclusion however is that Bitcoin is still the best.
1524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 11, 2021, 09:01:07 AM
After two of the favorites, Lille and PSG, won their matches nicely, we started waiting for the Lyon - Angers and Monaco - Dijon matches. They both need to win their matches not to get away more from their title chance.

Lyon have a really bad form and they need to take a deep breath by winning. I assume they will win this.

Monaco have a too easy match and I guess they will get a very comfortable win by at least 2 goals.
There are six matches left and Lille are still at the top of the standings by three points from PSG, of course this is a warning for PSG, especially in the previous season they could easily become champions and even have a quite far difference in points from Lille. If Lille is able to wipe out the remaining six matches it will become new history in League 1 because it is the only team that has been able to overthrow PSG's domination so far.
Exactly, the team which have the most chance to end PSG's domination this season are Lille. Lyon are not consistent and Monaco seem to be in a better shape. After Lille, I see Monaco have a bigger chance than Lyon on it.

It is true that Lille has the most chance of ending PSG's domination, especially since Lille are still at the top of Ligue 1. So if Lille manage to win
the remaining 6 matches, they will become champions of Ligue 1. But the problem is that Lille still has to face Lyon. So it is indeed not easy
the obstacles that Lille have to overcome to become champions of Ligue 1 this season. For Monaco and Lyon I am not sure they can compete
with Lille and PSG, because Monaco and Lyon play very inconsistently.
1525  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Are The Top Altcoins For Investments In 2021 on: April 10, 2021, 11:58:56 PM
All altcoins that are in the top 10 are great for investing in 2021. As their performance has continued to improve since the beginning of this year,
So I highly recommend investing in the top 10 altcoins. Also usually the top 10 altcoins are listed on popular exchanges, This is what makes the top 10
altcoins have a very high demand. That's why all the top 10 altcoins managed to increase their price drastically, and succeed in giving big profit to its holders.
1526  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anybody here sell their Gold to buy Bitcoin? on: April 10, 2021, 05:58:53 PM
I have Gold but I will not sell it to buy Bitcoin. Because for me I have my own pride if I have Gold. And I will look for other ways to be able to buy Bitcoin,
no need to sell the Gold that I have. Because in my opinion it is better to invest in Bitcoin and Gold, rather than having to choose one. But everyone's
thoughts are different, no matter what choice we make, nothing is wrong. The wrong one may be that we don't invest in Gold or Bitcoin, because both
are the best assets to buy right now in my opinion.
1527  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price fall to Zero? Possible or not? on: April 10, 2021, 08:01:14 AM
I don't believe Bitcoin will drop to $ 5k, let alone Bitcoin price falling to zero, it is absolutely impossible to happen. As long as there are still
transactions with Bitcoin, it is impossible for the Bitcoin price to fall to zero. Because with many institutions investing in Bitcoin nowadays,
Bitcoin fundamentals are getting stronger. This is what keeps the Bitcoin price above $ 50k in my opinion. But if it is true that Bitcoin drops to $ 5k,
I will buy a lot of Bitcoin. Because the Bitcoin price will definitely recover quickly.
1528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 10, 2021, 02:30:32 AM
If it is calculated mathematically, AC Milan and Juventus can still catch up with Inter's points, but the problem is to expect Inter to drop points
in the next few games. And like that is impossible if we look at Inter's consistent performance, what will happen maybe between Juventus and
AC Milan who might lose points, because the two teams are inconsistent. So in conclusion I agree with you that it is very likely that Inter will win
the trophy this season. For Juventus I believe in replacing AC Milan to be second in Serie A.
Inter have three hard games ahead which are against Napoli (away), Juventus (away) and Roma (home). They might lose points in these matches. But for the other matches, I don't have an expectation like it. They will probably not have big problems on winning the title, yes. My favorite for the 2nd position is Milan.

It is true that Inter will face a difficult match against Napoli, Juventus and Roma. Even though all three matches were lost, but I believe it will not
be able for Juventus and AC Milan to catch the points that Inter have. Because Inter are 11 points ahead of AC Milan, the difference is far enough
to be pursued, and my prediction is that it is impossible for Inter to lose all of the three tough matches it will face. So in any case Inter will be
champions of Serie A, even though I am not a fortune teller, but I believe 95% Inter will won the Serie A trophy. It turns out that you are
a supporter of AC Milan, predicting AC Milan will remain in second place. Hopefully your prediction is correct, because I prefer Juventus to be
second in Serie A.
1529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 09, 2021, 09:55:32 PM
I believe there is no way that Inter would lose the league at this point, I get that there is still a lot of games left but there is also 11 point difference Milan as well so there is really a very low chance that they could lose this. I believe there is a chance this could actually work out great for Inter and anyone who wagers on them. I think Juventus and Milan will keep on winning their games as well but I am not sure if that would be as simple as that.

What I think will happen is the fact that all three will win their games most of the time, you could martingale your way into the final game and will probably make a profit. Specially milan and juventus because they are fighting for that second spot, their point difference is only 1 points so they will try to win every game to get to second spot so wagering on them would make sense in a way.
Yes, there is absolutely no way that Inter are losing their chance for the title from now on. There is really a huge gap with Milan and Juventus. If they both didn't screw up things, the competition for the title still could have been fired up. But they both have been terrible recently. I wonder which side is gonna end the league as the 2nd.

If it is calculated mathematically, AC Milan and Juventus can still catch up with Inter's points, but the problem is to expect Inter to drop points
in the next few games. And like that is impossible if we look at Inter's consistent performance, what will happen maybe between Juventus and
AC Milan who might lose points, because the two teams are inconsistent. So in conclusion I agree with you that it is very likely that Inter will win
the trophy this season. For Juventus I believe in replacing AC Milan to be second in Serie A.
1530  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH and BSC on: April 09, 2021, 09:30:18 AM
I saw joint pictures of Changpeng Zhao with Vitalik Buterin, as I understand they are friends, I wonder what their relationship is now. After all, BSC really shows the best alternative to ETH smart contract.
In fact, they are very good friends and we need to know that business people will not want to lose on all sides, because they are friends to make a lot of money even though it seems that in their crypto space they seem to be competing with each other, when in fact they were just the opposite.

I believe CZ and Vitalik Buterin are friends, but when it comes to the crypto industry they will compete. It is normal for them to compete,
because when they are already in work affairs, they must be professional by defending their respective projects. Until now I have seen BSC
as a very good alternative to Ethereum which now still has problems with high transaction fees. Although BSC offers much cheaper transaction fees,
it seems like many still use Ethereum. Because it is difficult to move when we are comfortable using Ethereum, Besides, I believe Vitalik Buterin is
aware of the problem of high gas fees on Ethereum. Therefore he and his team are definitely trying to fix it, we just need to be patient waiting
for the good news.
1531  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin back to $ 10,000? on: April 09, 2021, 12:41:33 AM
With many institutions investing in Bitcoin and many merchants starting to accept Bitcoin payments. And there is much more positive news
regarding Bitcoin, I am sure Bitcoin will not fall back to the price of $ 10k for at least this year. Even from March until now Bitcoin has always
been above the price of $ 50k, this shows the price of Bitcoin which has a very strong support price of $ 50k. So it is very safe in my opinion
investing in Bitcoin this year, but just in case there is nothing wrong with using the stop-loss feature. So if the Bitcoin price suddenly drops
drastically we will not experience big losses.
1532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal created crypto checkout service!! on: April 08, 2021, 09:26:51 PM
Something that should've been done in the past. Though I believe in the saying that it's better late than never. With this update, we expect that more and more people, especially those using paypal services, are going to invest their money into crypto. Which means more people adopting bitcoin, altogether helping bitcoin's price to increase, and maybe just maybe, further bitcoin's advance in becoming a currency that can top the conventional fiat currency we came to know.

As you said, it's better to be late than never, that's what happened to Paypal after providing the crypto checkout service. It's a little late what Paypal
has done, I don't know the real reason why Paypal didn't make the checkout service from the start. Maybe Paypal wants to know feedback from Paypal
users first, it turns out that Paypal user enthusiasm is quite high with Paypal adopting crypto. This is positive news that can trigger the price of Bitcoin
to rise, hopefully more and more Paypal users will invest in crypto now, after Paypal provides crypto checkout service.
1533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: April 08, 2021, 09:44:17 AM
Today I bet on Ajax, Man U and Dinamo Zagreb to win... About the last team - they played very well at home against Spurs, I hope that Villareal will also be beaten! Wink
Maybe Arsenal will also beat Slavia, but if you look at the statistics of the last matches, Slavia has a better record than Arsenal...

I have almost the same predictions as yours, maybe because predicting the Europa League is not as difficult as the Champions League.
So for sure most people will choose their favorite team to win, I agree Ajax, Arsenal and Manchester United will win the game. But for
the Dinamo Zagreb vs Villarreal match I prefer Villarreal who will win the match. It is true that Zagreb cannot be underestimated because
they managed to beat Spurs, but they were just lucky, because indeed Spurs performance was poor. And Zagreb's luck is only up to the quarter
finals in my opinion, because Villarreal's last three matches in La Liga have won. This means that Villarreal's performance is good right now.
1534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any good recent bounty campaigns? on: April 08, 2021, 06:58:00 AM
If we have trouble doing research to find good bounty campaigns, we can choose bounty campaigns based on bounty managers. Because if
the bounty managers have a good reputation, usually they will choose good projects too. Although it does not guarantee 100% success,
at least the percentage of success is higher than us following bounty campaigns that use bounty managers without a good reputation.
Though I'm done with these bounty campaigns anymore I also believe that if you have trouble looking at good campaigns then why not look at those campaigns handled by reputable managers. And that is what I am exactly doing before. I choose to participate in their handled campaign simply because I believed that they will choose a good campaign as much as possible or will avoid choosing the worst ones, to put simply they filtering it out. They will not waste their worked-hard credibility just for a scam or non-successful campaign. However, not all the time it will be successful and even them became a victim as well. Besides, it is way less risky compared to participating in random bounty campaigns.

It is true that bounty managers who have a good reputation are unlikely to choose bad bounty campaigns, because they want to raise their reputation
for the better, in order to gain the trust of project owners and bounty hunters. It can be seen that the more green trusts owned by the bounty managers,
therefore the possibility of the bounty campaigns he led also usually had good potential as well. I have been in bounty campaigns since 2017 until now,
and always satisfied with the bounty campaign led by bounty managers with good reputation.
1535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Its not so Easy to lose in crypto trading and btc on: April 08, 2021, 12:57:37 AM
How big the loss we experience when trading Bitcoin or altcoins will always be painful and not easy to deal with. Therefore we try our best to find
ways to avoid losses. Even though I understand that every investor and trader has experienced losses, and that is normal for anyone. The problem of
the source of capital used, if indeed we use money that we can afford to lose, will not be a big problem. But some people use capital from sources
that are indeed important, such as money for daily needs to be used for trading or investing. There is even something more frightening by using
bank loan money as capital. Therefore we must be wise in using trading capital, always use the money that we can afford to lose. So when
we experience losses we can deal with it well and not stress.

That's what's interesting about football, sometimes the statistics are better and controlling the game doesn't mean can win the game. It is very influential
the absence of Robert Lewandowski, Bayern need lots of opportunities to score goals. Moreover, not only Lewandowski but Serge Gnabry also couldn't play,
this affected the Bayern attack. But I still hope that Bayern can win the game, because Bayern have a better experience in the Champions League.

1538  Economy / Economics / Re: Where the correction ? on: April 07, 2021, 10:38:41 AM
With all the coins you choose, and none of them, in my opinion, are popular coins, in my opinion you are very lucky if you succeed in getting profit
from the coins that you have mentioned in the opening post. I do not recommend that you currently invest in coins other than the top 10 crypto,
because the risk is very large if you intend to invest again in the coins that you mentioned in the opening post. For now, choose coins that are popular
with high volume, it should be safer and the profit generated is quite large. For when there is a correction, since Bitcoin went up to the price of $ 61k,
it seems that until now the correction has not been too deep. Maybe this is the effect of many institutions that have started investing in crypto,
so the price of Bitcoin and altcoins in my opinion is relatively stable.
1539  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Your Bitcoin Wallet Be Hacked? How Can You Secure It? on: April 07, 2021, 12:21:29 AM
Lots of incidents of Bitcoin wallets being hacked, therefore we must be careful to choose a safe Bitcoin wallet. Most vulnerable to being hacked
if we use web wallets or exchange wallets, both of which are most often hacked. Therefore I strongly discourage storing Bitcoin on web wallets
and exchanges wallets in the long run. Based on my experience and many articles that I have read, the safest Bitcoin wallets are hardware wallets
and desktop / mobile wallets. But I recommend using hardware wallets instead of desktop wallets, because it is more difficult to hack. Even though
we have to pay a lot of money to buy the device.
1540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: April 06, 2021, 09:50:50 PM
Liverpool were really disappointing today. They ended 1st half with 0 shots on target. 2nd half was a bit better, but they weren't very dangerous. Yes, they scored away goal, what is big factor. 3:1 loss tonight means that they need 2:0 win at Anfield - difficult, but doesn't sounds impossible.
City 2:1 Borussia. I expected something more from City, but such score means that we will have very interesting 2nd leg. It even could have ended 1:1, but Foden scored late goal and let City to win.

I saw the first half Liverpool were more focused on defending, therefore from that the second half Liverpool's game improved because they decided
to attack after trailing 2-0. Finally Mohamed Salah managed to score a goal in the 51st minute, but unfortunately 14 minutes later Vinicius Junior
managed to add to Madrid's goal. It is true that with Salah's away goals, Liverpool only need to score 2 goals in the second leg. But the problem is
with the poor performance of the Liverpool defender I'm not sure Liverpool can prevent Madrid from scoring goals. So I predict that the one who will
qualify for the semi-finals is Real Madrid.

I am also a little disappointed with the game Manchester City have shown, Manchester City should be able to win easily with the quality of the players
they have. It turned out that the match almost ended in a draw if there was no goal from Phil Foden in the 90th minute. This makes it easier for Dortmund
by scoring goals away, Dortmund only need to win 1-0 in the second leg. But I still believe Manchester City will qualify for the semi-finals, because with
the quality of players that Manchester City have, they should be able to beat Dortmund in the second leg.
