Amazon vs Alibaba: Cyber Monday Wars

By Promotions 2 Comments

War. War never changes. The day of reckoning is upon us. Which day? Well, Cyber Monday of course. So, let’s celebrate this holiday by discussing this slow-building rivalry which is sure to underpin a new cold war. It’s a fight for your hearts, minds and wallets. So, hold on to them as we descend into their histories, strengths and weaknesses and see what it all means. It’s Amazon vs Alibaba: Cyber Monday wars edition.

Amazon

Fun fact! You reportedly save up to 75 hours of your life by shopping on Amazon. But here is a hard fact: people spent more money ($610 vs $566) in 2021 on Amazon than on Walmart. We are in the future, kiddos, no reason to go outside. But let’s look at how we got here.

An interesting man, to say at the least, has a bright idea in 1994: What if – everything store? The other colleague says: Yea sure, why not? And thus the everything store was born! Well no, not yet. It was first a book store, then some CDs, games, toys and home-improvement items were included.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, one of the world’s five richest people, will this summer pass the reins to top lieutenant Andy Jassy and Bezos will become executive chairman. When attending high school he dreamed about to go into space. His ambition was not to be an astronaut, he wanted to colonise space. Now, Bezos owns Blue origin a space company that aims to make space travel more accessible and cheaper.

Flash forward to 2021 where you can purchase over 350 million products and the everything store label is definitely earned. Another impressive statistic is that 1 of every 153 employed in the US works for Amazon. Now, let’s look at some key features that made Amazon – Amazon.

Success: Amazon web service (AWS) and Prime

AWS was officially launched in 2006 though the venture existed since 2003 as Merchant.com (Amazon brainstorming team). For many years it was the only profitable part of Amazon and its security.

But stuff started to go into overdrive when AWS purportedly signed a Deal with the CIA in 2013.

And in 2018 it had a huge 47%  jump in revenue which was a sign that Cloud technology has fully arrived in our lives. Honorable mention goes to Amazon Prime which I repeat is in 82% of the U.S. (more than those that had Christmas trees).

Amazon Prime is along with Netflix, the biggest streaming platform around today. Both offer original content in addition to a library of third-party movies and series. However, each of these platforms have some unique features to compete with others. Netflix is the original king of streaming, but Amazon Prime comes with some great bonus perks.

Fail: Amazon Fire

Uf, this one was destined to fail from the get-go. It didn’t have a great design like the iPhone or a great price like Xiaomi. The price lowering came too late, shown by the fact that people didn’t want them even for a dollar. Amazon fire was definitely not fire.

Alibaba

Now, this giant of online commerce was started five years later than Amazon. The brains behind it belong to Jack Ma.  A purportedly self-professed super failure. Got rejected by a lot of colleagues and Even KFC but he just kept pushing.

After trying his hand at teaching he met the co-founder of Yahoo Jerry Yang in 1997 and ideas flew. A year and a half after that, in 1999, bam – Alibaba came online. After that, it was all determination and success was in the bag.

The co-founder of Alibaba Jack Ma was not seen in public from November 2020 to late January 2021. The rumors that he could have been set detained at home, kept, or even put to death were likewise spread. However, more than two months later, on January 20,2021. he made his first public appearance. Tha was the short video for a charity event.

Success: Tmall

Tmall is Alibaba hat (more like cat) in the ring against Amazon being its b2c ( business to client). It’s reportedly the 3rd most visited website in the world and the 1st in China. It capitalized on the ever-growing Chinese working class and is offering a smattering of more lucrative goods. High tech, nice clothes and watches all can be found on this website. Plus with marketing focused around 24h streams and celebrity appearances, it’s a big win.

Fail: Getting re-educated by the Chinese government

So, Alibaba was dominant in the Chinese market and held a jaw-dropping 70% of it. But the word was that other Chinese companies slowly started catching up to them.

So how did Alibaba react? It reportedly started blocking access to its competitors on their all-in-one app Alipay. The Chinese government apparently didn’t like that. Some may say that Jack Ma started being passive-aggressive towards the Chinese government, and that they really didn’t like that. You know the rest.

Cyber Monday VS Singles day

Last year Cyber Monday clocked in a cool $10.8 billion (an improvement over last year. Ehm, but singles (China’s equivalent celebrated on 11. 11.) clocked in at $138 billion.

But this isn’t fair as the preorders for Singles day started 2 weeks in advance. So let’s see if combining all the Black Friday spinoffs what do we get? It’s $22 billion in 2021. But heck, let’s put in the Amazon Prime day, June 21, Bezos flex holiday, how much do we get? 32 billion, not even close… So what’s next?

The Future

So the biggest reason Alibaba isn’t anywhere near Amazon is the fact that it just can’t break a lot of other markets. Southern Europe and Africa are responding but those aren’t really lucrative markets yet. So, this leaves only one clear target. India. One problem, Amazon has already dropped its claws in (reportedly invested over 5 billion dollars in the country) and isn’t letting go soon. The battle is far from over, as a  matter of fact, it’s just starting.

Litecoin Casino Bonus

Cryptos are completely occupied online casinos and the Litecoin is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies that is used both as deposit and withdrawal method. The reason of its popularity is simple and are presented in blog post Litecoin benefits overrun Bitcoin.

The part of casino Brango promotions is a great offer for using Litecoin. Namely, we prepared for you 200% boost on your first Litecoin deposit. Before you start playing your favorite games, keep in mind that if you make a win at our casino, you should withdraw it also in Litecoin. Good luck!

 

Dogecoin

Dogecoin vs Shiba Inu 2022

By Lifestyle No Comments

It’s a dog-eat-dog world when it comes to the crypto market. There are of course more titanic clashes (Bitcoin vs Ethereum), that’s for sure. But none exemplify the killer instinct necessary to survive in today’s market quite so well as our two competitors. Yap, they bark, they bite but most importantly they meme and with a little Elon assistance, they’ll help you dream. It’s Dogecoin vs Shiba Inu 2022! We are going by seniority so Dogecoins first. Get’em boys!

Dogecoin

Dogecoin was created in December 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. It was created as a joke making fun of the opportunistic early days of crypto and less than legal past. And that was that, it was a joke and nobody took it seriously so why am I talking about it? Well, a hypothetical person, who lived under a rock, it’s because it blow up, big time. First, it was the videos and memes and then he, the Doge-father himself descendent and gave his grace. In a blink, dodge price skyrocketed to number 8th in the market cap and the rest is history (real recent history). But, if among you there are still some naysayers than I got some points to show you the light:

It’s still one of the most profitable coins to mine because of its simple encryption and merge-mining with Litecoin. So, every time you mine Litecoin you’ll get some dodge coin back and vice versa. Plus, it has a much lower energy consumption than other big altcoins and bitcoin so it’s eco-friendly.

Lower transaction fees. Also, like Litecoin it has one of the lowest transaction fees among the top 10 cryptos. Again this is to its simpler encryption method which it shares with Litecoin.

Now on the price side, things are pretty solid for meme coin. It was mostly based around big whale investment until the happening. That meant there was a small number of investors with a large percentage of market they share. And then, Elon came and showed them who is the biggest whale of them all.

So, because of the predictable whale behavior and the shareholder experience (started in 2013), it’s a much safer asset. To add to that there are a few very smart people who are behind it. Namely, Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum creator) and Elon Musk (Meme God). Now, they are looking into ways to improve the technology behind Dodge coin and transition it from POW to POS.  Now the question is can Shiba compete? Let’s see.

Shiba Inu

Shiba Inu was created in August 2020 as a collaboration between an individual named Ryoshi and a nameless businessman. We know very little about Ryoshi, except one little detail. The detail I question is his connection with Vitalik Buterin who is rumored to be the nameless businessman. Busy man. Now, Shiba Inu was designed to be the Dogecoin killers, so let’s see what’s it made of:

Shiba is a token on the Ethereum blockchain and not a full coin like a Doge. This helps with the speed, but it is still not as fast as Litecoin or Dogecoin. It uses Gas like Ethereum so the speed is heavily dependent on the gas prices on the Ethereum network.

With the coming Ethereum 2.0 changes, as an Ethereum token, it will get a lot of new technological improvements.  Another small minus is its larger energy consumption compared to  Dogecoin (so less eco-friendly boo). Therefore, a mixed bag on the technical side.

The price is very volatile even for meme coin standards. It shows some promise with its large media presence and a rabidly loyal fanbase from day 1. But that might add edition noise when looking at a price making it a  riskier venture.

It’s blowing up now and even with Buterine’s assumed quite large support it doesn’t look like the dodge killer is quite there yet. Speaking of the future let’s look at the key past effect that changed the face of memes coins forever. Mr. Musk, you are up next.

The Elon Effect

Don’t know if you are aware of this, but Mr. Musk is the richest person in the world (take that Bezos). Also, Elon owns a Shiba Inu puppy, named Floki. Elon also owns Twitter where he posted a photo of his doggy, blowing up the prices of our two contenders.

But let’s be clear, Elon has only one dog in this fight. His crypto portfolios include Dogecoin, unlike Shiba, and has repeatedly encouraged people to invest because of its eco-friendly features. But, the final nail in Shiba Inu’s love affair with Elon was the launch announcement of DOGE-1. What’s DOGE-1, well it’s a Space X satellite scheduled to launch in the beginning of 2022 and financed partly in Dogecoin. A love affair for the ages.

Now, do you want to get rich? Well, you can maybe not achieve the Elon-rich level, but nonetheless. All you need to do is make a deposit preferably in Dogecoin or Litecoin and hit the reels and get a big win. And don’t forget to have fun along the way.

The Best Casino Streamers on Twitch & Youtube

By Lifestyle No Comments

What makes a good casino streamer? And why do people watch casinos in the first place? How can you become a casino streamer yourself? Maybe by playing at instant withdrawal Casino Brango? Can we make the list, ranking the best casino streamers? And why are there so many Swedes on the list? The answers to all these questions await you in this article.

 Why are casino streamers so popular?

The casino streaming phenomena started in 2015 with he that shall be named (Roshtein). It didn’t pick up steam until 2019 with likes of Trainwreckstv and xQc (not on the list though, he quit ). So why did it become so popular in the first place? Well, it appears to be a combination of at least two factors. One being Twitch’s growing popularity and the other – human psychology: people like success stories. Plain and simple. And both of these things probably won’t change anytime soon.

Online Casino Streamers

Now, what makes a good casino streamer? Some say it’s an interesting personality, ability to entertain and be relatable. While all of those might be good guesses, none of them is quite right on the money. They all are missing one thing. A Swedish (or birth certificate more like) passport. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the swede-o-meter 2021. The streamers will be graded in an additional special category: SWEDNESS!

Now then, casino streaming has been hitting it big since the beginning of last year. It also probably peaked right about July this year just before THE CONTROVERSY. So how has the landscape changed? Who are the mainstays and who are the newcomers? And most importantly why are there so many Swedes gambling and living in Malta? Let’s begin.

The Mainstays

 DeuceAce

While only starting streaming in 2020, his connection to Roshtein (later on the list) has bought him some street cred. Now for are swede-o-meter. It’s strong 3. While born in Poland he has grown up in a typical middle-class Swedish family. Also majored in finance and is very polite. But I had to knock some points off because of the fact he is not living in Sweden. Actually, we don’t know where he lives (probably Malta).  Mysterious. That’s enough in my book. 3 points for you, Sir.

Now, the gambling. He amassed a total of 2,081 hrs played on slots in the last year. Nothing to scoff at. But even more impressive is how much he won while playing. One time he managed to pull an amazing 485.000$. Waouh! That’s a lot of money.

Xposed

A Canadian. Why I never… 2 points on the swede-o-meter. Why not 0 or a 1? Well, he’s Canadian, which by default makes him polite. And Cody (his name) is a regular of Joe with a baby and a fiancé.  Nice guy. But I hear you again saying what about the gambling? We don’t want to hear another word of your conspiracy theories about Swedes controlling the gambling world. Fine.

He has played an incredible 3,317 hours slots in the past year. His biggest win was an incredible $500,000, quite impressive. What a nice fella!

ClassyBeef

First, a Canadian and now a whole boatload of America! The swede-o-meter won’t like this one bit. Yep, a 1. Well, they are polite and try to promote gambling as a non-shady fun past-time. They do this by not affiliating with any shady casinos and taking fake money as they say. A whatever 1.5. On the numbers-side, things look like this. Total slot playtime is an astounding  12,672 hours (he’s been doing this for a long time). On the biggest win front, we got a crazy $528,800! Hot damn!

Teuf

Where are the Swedes? I am getting desperate and it’s nothing to laugh at. Teuf? O YEA, the truck driver French dude. France and Sweden are bordering each other if you squint real hard. Yap, we are rolling with that. So the swede-o-meter says 2.5. Okay. He has blue eyes. That’s Swedish, I guess. Oh, but I hear he isn’t very polite (I don’t know, I don’t speak French). I’ll just pretend he is educating his viewers on the proper bon-ton and we are keeping the 2.5.

The gambling.1,483 hrs is not a lot. But in his defense, he has been ramping up since last year and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. But to compensate he has won a whopping €1,057,830.97 ($1,289,141.58) from a comparatively small initial wager of €6000. I tip my trucker hat to you, sir.

CasinoGirlz

We continue with the French theme but with a gentler twist. Two gals (Heidi and Virginie), friends since they were 15 and streaming slots since 2015. Warms the heart. Not as popular as many of the top dogs on this list, they are on it for the sheer amount of hours played. 11 885 hrs. I am going to reap myself. 11 885 HRS! The only thing holding them back is their low top win numbers ($21 991), nonetheless, I salute you girls. The whole cause of casino streaming salutes you.

CasinoDaddy

Finally, the Swedes have arrived. Consisting of three brothers, Karl Anton (32), Erik (28), and Mathias Joelsson (34). And man, the swede-o-meter is going wild. This is a max, I believe. The lads are getting a 5. I mean just look at them blond as hell and listen that sweet Swenglish which comes pouring. Also, they have lived in Kristianstad (Sweden!) since their birth. Also very polite. A 5/5.

But what about the streams? They have streamed for 2016 regularly and have perfected the art of freaking out when winning big. Their biggest win was  $194,416 with a measly $4 initial bet. And ah, my God, 20,375 hrs played!!! Enough said. Keep fighting the good fights, Lads.

Roshtein

My hero. He has come to rescue my Swedish casino conspiracy theory. Yes, it’s the original meatball eating but probably not ( with the kind of money he’s winning) the Ikea buying machine. The myth, the legend, Roshtein. What does the swede-o-meter say? A 4. Let me check this. Swedish born. Check. Swenglish. Check. Lives in Sweden. Lives in Sweden. Wait, he lives in Malta. Well, I’ll take what I can get.

Back to the important stuff. In 7 years this man has been grinding away at these slots, he has amassed 9,612 hours playing slots or other casino games. With the €1,000,000 ($1.165,605.00) win, he comes in a close second to Teuf. But I think the number 9,612 speaks volumes why he is deserving to be the mainstay number one.

The Newcomers

AyeZee

Let’s see what the newcomers have to offer. UUU, a Lebanese streamer born and raised in South Africa. Time’s are a-changin’. He is no Swede, that’s for sure. But the fact that he provides the links to his cryptocurrency account is a major plus in my book. OK. let’s do the numbers. Hours played: 2,772. I mean that’s expected from a newcomer. Wait a minute, what is this  $1,000,000 win from the newcomer? Jesus! Kids these days… am I right?

AngelMelly 

Our first English speaking female streamer. And from New Zealand no less. Times really are a-changing. Fun fact she also went on the X-factor. Her number is not that unimportant (149 hours and sub $50k winnings, still not your average joe). But what is important is her growing influence in the streaming scene and her transparent relationship with the casinos.

VonDice

There it is again. They thought I wouldn’t notice. It’s another Swede. The conspiracy lives! Joking aside, he appears to be good friends with DeuceAce (who is friends with Roshtein, it all makes sense now!!!). I’ll stop. This appears to be the last Swede in this article. So let’s see what his numbers say. Nice a healthy 1,586 hrs. And an equally healthy €126,500 ($147,182.12)

Bidule 

Where Swedes lead, the French are soon to follow as we learned from above. This young French man is an overnight phenomenon amassing 150k followers on Twitch in just 2 years. The same as the rest of the newcomers, Bidule mixes a lot of other games ( e.g. CS: GO).

Looking at his metrics ( 2,505 hrs and a €313,900 ($365,220.93) win) they tell a pretty cut and dry story. The dudes are very popular, plain and simple. He gets about 6450 avg. concurrent viewers on average on his streams. To put in perspective he’s been beaten, in this metric, by only two other people on this list. One is the almighty Roshtein (19k avg. viewers!!!), and the other one is up next.

Trainwreckstv

Did you know that Trainwreckstv holds a bachelor’s degree, in Analytic philosophy no less? Now that’s an interesting fact. Almost as interesting as the fact that he was the 2nd most viewed streamer during the 2020 Presidential Election. He Even beats Roshtein (and everybody else) in every category we listed so far. By how much? By A LOT! The numbers (23k avg. viewers, 3,239 hrs played and a WHOPPING  $3,060,000, win) he might have a reputation for being a bit of… But the numbers don’t lie. Trainwreckstv is on the top.

Casino Streamer is Playing With Fake Money (The Controversy)

Now you might have deducted from the title above what the controversy we were speaking of is about. So, let’s break it down. The first to crack was Roshtein. He got caught when he entered from real play to free mode and his account balance didn’t change. Next up was Xposed. In 2020 there’s a clip of him playing and his balance changing by 25k out of thin air without him doing anything or even batting an eye. Most, if not all streamers on this list play and have played with fake money.

So, now everyone is putting a disclaimer in the description stating that they are playing with casino money. Those that make it better? Well, that depends on your preference. Do you prefer the real thing grinding away at small sums once or twice a week? Or something more alike to WWE, fake but bombastic and large, appreciated for its spectacle if not for its authenticity.

One Question Remains 

Woah there, partner. Where do you think you are going? Aren’t you forgetting something? There’s still one question left unanswered. So how can you become a casino streamer yourself? Well, the answer is pretty simple: record yourself playing games at an online casino, duh. Might I suggest you playing some Cash Bandits 3 to get you started? Have fun!
