Topic: 📖🎂 [Closed for New Entries] Cloudbet’s Bitcoin Blogiversary Competition 🎂 📖 - page 2. (Read 1206 times)

Third Entry


How to choose a Bitcoin wallet - I also love this one because choosing the right bitcoin wallet is very important so thank you for the tips.

What are the most secured cryptowallet out in the market right now?

My last entry.

I liked the "How To Read A Bitcoin Price Chart", the article taught me about different types of charts and how to read/understand them.

Some ideas for a future article:
Since altcoins have started getting more and more attention and have risen in popularity and price recently, I think now is the perfect time to have a blog article covering the best/most trusted exchanges to purchase from as well as sell altcoins to.

My Second entry


Inspired by this article , I have tried out many casinos out there and I have honestly found very little information about how to play some of these casino games the right way because the instructions are not clear enough for first timers. If am to be a winner like Leohand some tips and pointers in the blog section of how to play some of these slot games will be helpful.

- Another suggestion Will be to start from the bottom which is basic security , this is usually over looked but a guide from an experts standing point will be an eye opener to many on the best practice to protect our crypto assets and everything relating to this category. A problem shared is a problem solved, no more getting hacked!


Favourite article, HOW TO CONVERT FREE SPINS INTO REAL MONEY simply because this shows us that you don't win by wishful thinking or dreaming of being a winner but by playing the game, If Leo can, why can't I? DRAGON MAIDEN here I come.

Article I liked the most - https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/previews/12702-who-will-sit-on-the-iron-throne-game-of-thrones-bitcoin-betting
I have not seen any other platforms where betting options are so much versatile. The article is spot on the GOT main theme and is not showing half picture or something. Greatly written too, it shows GOT level standards;-)

Suggestions: 1. How Trust works in Cryptocurrencies. Why trust matters in a modern society.? Trust on Age of network?, Trust on Code?, Trust on personals?

2. Dot com bubble and Cryptos.? Similarities and differences. It'll be great if there's a analogy for what's happening in a new field.

3. Why gaming and gambling could be the most suitable field of "internet-money". How big are these industries?.

Nice competition. Thanks Cloudbet.
My favourite article is https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/9846-bitcoin-is-dead
This article really showed me the way to know kinda what  bitcoin is and is becoming. It's not dead and it's getting stronger than ever. I also like the way how the topic is presented in the article. A perfect read.

My future article suggestions.
1) Manipulation of cryptocurrency valuation. How is it effecting everything. Inherent probability of manipulation in open markets especially new ones ?

2) A "Must do and Must never do" list of things for crypto-people. I think this doesn't need much explanation. Like sending 1 ETH for free 10 ETH giveaway from fake Vitalik😅

3) A "Global Currency" not controlled by any country. Is this Bitcoin or what.?

3rd entry:

I liked going through and reading the Bitcoin price updates for the past few months.

Which makes me think:

Since Bitcoin's price has been skyrocketing recently, Cloudbet could get an article written on the subject of other crypto/altcoin past prices and how they went through peaks and valleys.
Similar to Bitcoin Is Dead, but with other coins.
I also think using graphics to illustrate this article gets users more interested in scrolling through the article and giving it more attention.
For example, using the same graphics but for altcoins:

Welcome to the new faces, and thanks for joining us -  I've just updated the sheet now! 

Don't forget: Entries will close at 10:00AM UTC on Monday 13th May, so any lurkers will still have this weekend to get their suggestions in!

Second entry


https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/bitcoin-101/9767-how-to-choose-a-bitcoin-wallet

This kind of articles are very helpful for newcomers, especially for your site where newbies can have 0 ideas on how bitcoin basic works


Basic article (so you can reach more people cause the lack of knowledge) on why people should do play with bitcoin on crypto over the normal bets with FIAT. Pros and cons on betting with Crypto, and of course for newbie how and where AND why they need to convert FIAT into crypto

@iphro - That's very cool, I'd love to have a read if you could send us a link when you have it published! Stablecoins have been growing in popularity recently, at least as far as the press coverage I've seen. What were your thoughts on the recent Tether controversy?
 

@ Ronnie Cloudbet



Tether has always been a controversial item in the immutable ecosystem, I think this is mainly because of their proof of reserve methodology and it's inconsistency in reporting.
.
.
.
The value of USDT  is derived from the underlying asset backing it and it's redeemability through Tethers international wire transfer service. I believe those reports of Tether being backed by only  74% of Fiat reserves comes from their inability to account for Tethers that have been redeemed and not deleted. I recall there is no designated burn address for USDT, so we have no Idea as to what is backed and unbacked. Therefore I think their proof of reserve system needs to be updated to account for the redeemed Tethers so that users can differentiate backed and unbacked tokens.
.
.
.
Other than that, I think as a community, we need to judge Tether(the company) on their ability to honor token redemptions.
 

Cool contest Ronnie! Here's my three suggestion entries:

My favorites article, and runner up, are the following:

Grand prize: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11954-trade-this-real-world-assets-trading-on-the-blockchain 

Why my favorite article? Because it opens the discussion of where cryptos need to go, and offers some solution links, as well as being very well written, as all of your articles are!

Runner-up: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/betting-strategy/13445-what-are-parlay-bets-and-how-to-place-them

Why my runner up article? Well, the obvious...I love parlays!


Three article ideas for my entries:

1) How is blockchain becoming cleaner and greener, with regard to the energy consumption of cryptomining, data centers, servers, etc.? Is Cloudbet focused on this? DM me for info on a new clean energy technology that could disrupt this aspect of blockchain. Think off-grid everything...mining, data centers, servers, etc.

2) Is it possible for Cloudbet to create parlays on crypto performance over set periods of time? For example, picking the trifecta of performers of one month, one week, one day, one year...or picking the top two to eight performers over set periods of time? Maybe someone is already doing this, not sure, but just a thought. 

3) Should there be concern with some blockchain promoting themselves as decentralized, but actually aren't, such as dPoS systems like EOS (sorry EOS supporters!)? Just an observation from watching cryptos for a few years now and seeing quite a bit of shady marketing on 'decentralization' in some areas.

Entry #2:

I had to crack a laugh reading "Moonshots: the craziest, most daring bitcoin betting odds", you don't see these very often. Good job authors!

On the other note, I'd like to hear more about how the actual site (Cloudbet) became what we know today, and also some more articles similar to "Is There A Winning Blackjack Strategy?" -- it goes very in-depth and shows that the author knows what they're writing about!

I found the "What is a Bitcoin fork?" article most interesting.

Would appreciate more of those informative articles. I think they are great for clearing up possible confusion for those less involved.

Second Entry,


Boxing | Manny Pacquiao v Adrien Broner preview - This is a great prediction made by the team, i actually follow this advice and won some money.


I want to see an article about, "Cryptoexchanges: Safe or not?"
So many hacking incidents, so i want to know more about this.

Here's my 2nd entry:

I enjoyed reading through the tutorial on betting on Game of Thrones because I love both GoT & Bitcoin (https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/previews/12702-who-will-sit-on-the-iron-throne-game-of-thrones-bitcoin-betting).

Some Blog articles I'd like to see written in the future are more coverage of betting on GoT, I believe the market is quite unexplored and can bring a lot of new users to the site!

Glad that I won't have to personally pick the winners here, there's a lot of strong entries for the content team to sort through!  


@Johnyz - Good call, great spot! I think I added your name but then skipped down one entry to Woodie's, I've updated the sheet now.


@an@sha - No need for apologies, your English is very good! Thanks for joining in our competition!  


@iphro - That's very cool, I'd love to have a read if you could send us a link when you have it published! Stablecoins have been growing in popularity recently, at least as far as the press coverage I've seen. What were your thoughts on the recent Tether controversy?
 

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

1. My favorite article: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11131-why-matter-matters-how-blockchain-will-bridge-the-gap-between-physical-and-digital

2. For my suggestion: I would like to see an article on how small states can integrate their M2 economies through blockchain to escape the effects touted by World systems/Dependency theory.

P.S I'm writing a white paper with this notion for a stablecoin I'm working on.

My favorite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog article is the story of the creation and launch of your BTC-bookmaker office in October 2013, as well as the history of its development and improvement over the next 5 years (what problems you faced, what you achieved and what future plans you would have).

Cloudbet at 5: Who We Are & How We Got Here

What would I like to see?
You have already done a huge number of reviews both on bets and on different cryptothematics, but I didn’t see the most important here - information about who should we thank for our conversation now and also I’d love to hear your opinion on this matter
So, "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto (or who are they) in your opinion?!"

---

P.s. Sorry for my bad English, but I tried...

I think there’s an error with my second entry, It’s Woodie’s entry and not mine please check it. Thank you.

Thanks for another competition Ronnie!

---

I have been reading your blog for a while now, and I think one of your best articles must be the "6 Common Betting Mistakes".
Even though Cloudbet is a gambling website, you still have the decency to help beginners out and let them know how easy it is to lose and that the odds are mostly in favor of the house.

---

I would like to see more about gambling "strategies" in your future articles -- something similar to the "Top 5 Betting Strategies For The NBA" and also -- how you can improve your win chance.

---

My third and my final entry:

- Your favourite crypto-focused Cloudbet blog article from the past year?
https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11773-three-lost-bitcoin-treasures-plus-one-happy-ending - interesting topic, for me atleast.

- The crypto article you would like to see our expert team write next!
Should/could cryto payment/usage be adopted more in daily life or in the future and if so could crypto overtake real money, personally i see this as the best and safest payment method there is.

Best of luck to everyone, and thanks for giving us such an opportunity.
