I will use the money left to continue gambling, perhaps there is still a chance to return capital or win. Opportunity is very small, at least I dare to fight until the end. I know this will aggravate the situation, but my curiosity is very high. Even if I lose, I'll go home the next day and I'll borrow some money to get home.

I have been in that worst situation. But I already lost that's why I won't go that further. Chances are very slim, if you are unlucky then you might as well go home with that money and regroup. That's why I almost set aside money for cab fare or transportation so that the inevitable happen I can see go home and address want went wrong with my betting habits that lead me to a lost.
10142  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should government consider bitcoin as a legal global currency? on: May 18, 2018, 01:13:21 AM
Bitcoin is forbidden in our country, and I admire the people of Japan, who can freely use bitcoin.

I can't imagine what the price of bitcoin would be if every country were to adopt the legal form of bitcoin.
There must be a resolution that bitcoin must be used as global currency. It's starting to have a major run so government should think of it. They must consider the effect of bitcoin to everyone because it is very helpful and beneficial. Many will earn once it has been acknowledged worldwide so it must be accepted.

Governments already looked at the effects of bitcoin. And that it has a negative effect because of being used by criminals to buy sort of illegal stuff and then there are a lot of scammers out there. They didn't look at the bright side that's why you will see some governments banning it. We all know that at the individual level its really very beneficial but there are government who are afraid of its disruptive effect that they have to ban immediately.

Cryptocurrency drops further, making fresh lows, with no signs of the positive upside move.

Read Bokka Crypto Technical Analysis BTC/USD 17.05.18: https://bokka.com/bitcoin-fluctuates-below-8500/

Bitcoin has been in the range of $8100-$8700 in the last couple of weeks so I don't know what's the big fuss is all about. We have been in this kind of wild swings lately so I'm not surprise at all.

So I'm not sure if your prediction and analysis is backup by some TA or what, but you don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that this market is full of surprises and again the price has been in this level for several weeks now.
10144  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why the facebook, google are banning cryptocurrency? on: May 17, 2018, 04:51:39 PM
And now we can add Microsoft's Search Engine "Bing" on the list that has banned crypto ads. As for the reasons, they wanted to stop scammers using their platform to spread their illegal activities.

However, I still thinks that its everyone job to really search and do our homework and not just to invest our money on a certain ICO and no amount of banning will stop them from doing so. It might lessen but not totally eradicate and I'm sure that scammers will continue to do their dirty work despite this bans from social media giants.
10145  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: HitBTC scam! on: May 17, 2018, 03:58:11 PM
Hi all, i finally got my deposit 2 days ago, took more then 1,5 months and quite a few tickets opened. Also withdrawals take ages and withdrowal fees are really high. If you can get the coin elsewhere i would highly recommend it Smiley. I'll probably transfer what i have left there to some other exchange or mew, hopefully wont wait for months again.

I'm really nervous about my coins sitting on HitBTC. I may just have to withdraw and deposit it to other trading platforms. But I saw someone says that HitBTC says that you have to wait for a month before you can actually withdraw your funds. It this is true then its already a lost for traders. My other issues is, how come ICO's still listed their coins on HitBTC though? They could go to other reputable exchanges to list their coins, why are they still partnering with them?
10146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 17, 2018, 03:36:00 PM
Well played. Harden was at his usual and they were able to defend homecourt this time. Hopefully they bring the momentum to game 3 though we all know how difficult it would be since the warriors will be playing at home. I'm rooting for a different finals encounter this time
Actually this is the kind of game that I am expecting from both teams, both going over 100 points but what I am not expecting is the 22 point margin. I am not sure if GSW is over confident and they didn't expect Houston will make a come back or they just want to bring the game to their turf.
If you see the first round and the second round match up of GSW, in every road game they are losing one and they are winning one game then they will win 2 games in their home. If this will happen again against Rockets, there is a high chance that GSW will go again in the finals. GSW I think didn't over confident but they I think they just let the Rockets win although this is just my opinion. If you see Steve Kerr, he is sitting only and he is calm because he believe in his teammates. Maybe they lose in the game because they have done it with purpose. If GSW will pull a win in Games 3 & 4. it will be 4-peat for them for sure.

I don't think that coaches "intentionally" wants to lose a game, not in playoffs. I thinks its more of like a losing cause already and perhaps Kerr has other plans in mind. He did try to fight though but Houston is too much specially when their 3's are going in. They still have the homecourt advantage that's why they can afford to lose this one. Players will be well rested going on the next game and it will be on their side. If by chance they win the next 2 games in their home court then its game over.

LeBron is on the mission again this year, and for you guys who thinks Celtics can overcome the Cavs, well sorry to say but the chances are very low without their 2 superstars. Experience has a higher winning percentage. Remember what happened with the OKC in the 2012 NBA finals? That team was stacked with young talents, but they lost because they dont have experienced the pressure and atmosphere in a playoff championship game.
It wouldve been a good competetive match up if both teams have a healthy roster.
I agree that the Cavaliers had a big advantage over the Celtics on paper but let us remember that the Sixers are pretty much dominating the Celtics on paper also and it did not translate into the game. The Celts dominated the Sixers and this might also happen to the Cavaliers if they will be overconfident that they will win over the Celtics.
With Kyrie Irving missing from the lineup I just think that it’s enough for the Cavaliers to get the victory just because of one Lebron James alone who has been in great form and have proven  many of his critics wrong.
Even though it is only game one but i think it is a good sign for the Celtics and also a confidence booster for the that they can beat the Cavaliers in this series.

Yes its going to be a confident booster for the young Boston Celtics. You will notice that they have that confidence, Tatum shooting over James for a 3's. Kudos to the Celtics team for dominating the Cavs and totally shutting not just Lebron, but the second squad as well. Its now time for Lebron and dig deeper again and show another aces up on his sleeves.

Altcoins are not dying, maybe some of it is getting down but it doesn't mean that other altcoins will follow; hence, there are still  an altcoins who keep rising when it comes to price and popularity.
I also believe that altcoins are not dying, i am a holder of some altcoins, like ethereum, waves and neo and this, 3 coins i have is not dying and i am sure that many altcoins in the market will not die, even not all the altcoins have a future but it i will still exist in this world for long time.

Obviously those are high value altcoins, so it will not die that easy because of the support of the community. Most likely those shitcoins who are just created for the sake of pump-and-dump and then no support from the dev behind will simply disappear in the next 1-3 years. Just look at how many coins those top exchanges de-listed and you will see how many have already died.
10149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shyness in gambling on: May 13, 2018, 10:47:40 PM
the only thing that made me embarrassed was when I lost a second time, like losing my self-esteem. as well as money lost, such as losing self-esteem.

What do you mean that you lost your self-esteem?  I understand if you have been embarrassed but I'm sure that you have made your mistakes and do learn from them. But losing self-esteem is different and difficult and its hard to overcome. It will cost you more money if you continue playing that way so I advise you to at least control you gambling habits.
10150  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin cliche $36,000 price by the end of next year? on: May 13, 2018, 10:24:59 PM
What Goldman Sachs said is that Bitcoin was a bubble which I don't believe myself and I believed bitcoin will start pumping from next month due to the bitcoin payment system implemented by the Russian for the FIFA World Cup game but the Fundstrat Global research  predicted bitcoin to cliche $36,000 price ranfe by the end of next year, I know nothing is impossible but can will achieve such ATH next year?

Like you said everything is possible so let's do hope that bitcoin will get to the next level and achieved new all-time-high for this year again. What I really wanted to see is how the FIFA World Cup will really affect the price. If this will do good for the ecosystem then it will set a precendence and maybe other sporting events will used bitcoin as their payment system which will really push the price even more. So let's see how it goes if we can even go after $20K-$30K at the end of this year.
10151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 224: Nunes vs Pennington Info and Prediction Thread on: May 13, 2018, 07:21:58 AM
Amanda Nunes is heavily favored in the bets. Almost all the experts are predicting that Nunes is going to win. CBS Sports have given betting odds as the following: Amanda Nunes (c) -850, Raquel Pennington +525. I am thinking about making a bet in favor of Pennington, but I feel very nervous right now.

Edit: I didn't made any bets favoring Pennington. Nunes won the fight. 

I didn't see the fight and but I was reading that Nunes has won the fight. But it looks like there are controversies as Pennington wanted to quit by the end of the 4th round.

Kevin won a split decision against Jacare which wins its a very very close fight.

And Lyoto Machida won with a beautiful front-kick KO over Vitor Belfort.
10152  Economy / Economics / Re: A coin issued by some country government - would you go for it? on: May 13, 2018, 03:06:19 AM
Imagine that some respectable country would go far beyond legalizing cryptocurrency and start one of its own. It would surely be no scam and it would probably have a strong support, but would there be any drawbacks to the currency and the state itself? Would it get more attention than some of the biggest coins now?

Petro, a Venezuelan back crypto has already been launched. And they said that they are going to used it to trade specially to circumvent the trade embargo impose against them the US lead nation. Right now it has gain attention, but the big question is who the hell are going to used it? Can we go and register an account to local Venezuela exchange and buy/trade it? And how you do trade for other nations? They say they have been trading it with Russia but I haven't seen any concrete evidence to back up this claims though.
10153  Economy / Speculation / Re: Me Sold all BTC at 20k $ Peak on: May 13, 2018, 02:30:15 AM
As for now btc is constant on 8 to 10k $ and it will take too much time now to reach its peak of above 20k $ per bitcoin and the fact is no one can guess when it will grow that much in upcoming time may be next year or after 5 year but all believe it will cross 20k $

I don't think that constant is the right term here. Its fluctuating between $8K-$10K if that is what you meant. It make take time to reach $20K again, but eventually we will all gonna see it happen again. No one has though that bitcoin could even go as high as $5K last year, but we almost went and concluded the year at almost $20K so everything is possible.

but did u guess last time right and sold all ur btc at 20 k $ cause me sold it that time and buyed after 1 month on 12k $ peak luckly me guess it right



Lucky you. I'm sure that a lot has also sold that time when it reaches all-time-high, FOMO was real that time. Just sad though we join late and then panic and sold everything when it dip in the last 3 months.
10154  Economy / Speculation / Re: Mt. Gox cold wallet moves 8200 BTC. Might this be the cause of the latest crash? on: May 12, 2018, 10:22:32 PM
There is a couple of reason i heard for the current crash, first one was liquidation of Mt Gox funds, as long as they are selling off their funds when ever the price is about to rise, the second one i heard is that a South Korean exchange was raided, may be those two have pulled the market down, it will recover again in a few days and then the trustee will again sell the coins and it will continue like this till they sell all of their coins.

I have no doubt that the trustee will offload in again and again whenever we are about to make a break out run. We really have to admit to that, so its going to be difficult for us to see another bull run because for sure he will surely make his move to pull back the price. So we all need to be attentive and make the right decision before we all get crazy about his the stunt he's been pulling on us.
10155  Economy / Speculation / Re: The way of BITCOIN! 2018 on: May 12, 2018, 09:47:46 PM
Bitcoin can reach 50 k, but we need a miracle to see it happen by the end of 2018.
Miracles can happen, no one expected that the price to reach 20 k in 2017 but it did.
Bitcoin is rising lately and we will see the 10 k son.
If more investors join the cryptos market, prices will keep rising.

Exactly, no one expected that bitcoin can get even above $10K, but at the end of 2017, it risen to almost $20K. So it means that anything is really possible. However, to be able to even get to $20K this year, we need a lot of money to pour again to the ecosystem. But today it looks like investor are shying away and just decided to wait. Because there are so much regulations from government around the world and FUD's. So for now, we should be happy if bitcoin even touch 5 digit mark, because its a long and tough road ahead.
10156  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The pump and dump tactic on: May 12, 2018, 03:59:56 PM
As you know, one of the most popular kinds of manipulations on the cryptocurrency market. Big players on the cryptocurrency market are known as whales. They can manipulate the cryptocurrency price using the tactic “Pump and dump”. Whales buy a lot of cryptocurrency in several days causing price increases. This attracts new investors to the cryptocurrency because hamsters want to buy more cryptocurrency in hopes that the price will be raising and they will be able to sell assets for the higher price. But this isn’t happening, because whales, after gaining a specified mark, begin to dump coins. In such way, whales get a profit, and the price of the cryptocurrency falls. How do you think how not to become the prey of such kind of whales` manipulations?
 

HODL is the best weapon from this kind of so manipulation. Other's go with the flow, buying in dips and when the whales started to make a sell, they usually dump as well and just rebuy in dips. The only problem is that you don't know when are the whales going to dump it, You might be sleeping across the globe while there are a lot of actions going on. So for me, I would rather HODL my coins for long term and will just sell if the condition is ripe for the taking.

The Celts dominated the Sixers and this might also happen to the Cavaliers if they will be overconfident that they will win over the Celtics.

Sixers don't have enough experience in my opinion that's why Celts was able to defeat them. But this time, Some of the Cavs core has been in the playoffs before and knows how to adjust and react which is evidently not present in Sixers that's why the Celts was able to defeat them easily. Now, they are facing Cavs which is very different specially with Lebron James healthy and becoming stronger every game, thus it will be tough to get pas Lebron. And I don't think the Cavs will be over confident as time point. On the contrary, Lebron as others have been saying is on a mission to go the the  championship again and ready for either Harden's Rocket or Curry's Golden State.

Let's see if you we are going to see $7K again. This week was very scary for us and the price keeps dropping significantly after almost getting into the $10K mark. There are news circulating that the Mt. Gox trustee started to transfers coins that's why the market just reacted negatively again on his actions. Right know the price is moving towards $8500 from as low as $8200 12 hours ago.
10159  Economy / Economics / Re: How bitcoin can help for working abroad specially OFW on: May 12, 2018, 02:19:06 AM
Through the help of bitcoin, it is easy for the people working abroad to remit their money now without even asking so many questions and at the same time bitcoin can help them also as another ways of source of income.

That's one reason and then second in my opinion is that OFW workers can invest on it. They can even have a account in coins.ph and buy bitcoin with their salary even in they are in abroad. Remittance though will be the biggest factor for Filipinos working oversees because they can just send it right away without any third party involved. Makes it easier for the family back home to get remit in their local remittance center in which you will find in every street in the Philippines.
10160  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will kill itself on: May 12, 2018, 01:27:51 AM
that's true, many factors can affect the contamination of the name of bitcoin, yes one of them you mentioned above. so we as bitcoin hunters, should be more careful about it, and always uphold the goodness in using bitcoin, so continue to get positive trend on bitcoin ..

There will be always two side of the spectrum. And there are people who takes advantage of crypto's features that why its being exploited. But rest assured that not everyone who is on crypto is doing some shady things. Majority are here to make money in legal way and I don't think that bitcoin will just die because of others wrong doings. It might be regulated though, but I don't see any problem with that specially us who are here in legit way.
