Its very hard to tell on when we should sell since there's no exact thing that we could set for this but if you see that your coin as at above to its ICO price I think its very better to sold that one and just buy for another sets if the price would go back for its original dumped price. I've seen so many ICO coins go for that scenario and maybe we will got a good fortune if we join to earn by executing some buy and sell with ICO coins.

It really hard to tell but the scenario you laid out is a good strategy. I have seen an ICO price that is not good but then when it was listed in a top trading platform, the price skyrocketed to more than 100%. So this is just another scenario that could happen that will make you sell your coins.

It happened to a lot of ICO's out there. Actually I did experience did and I'm happy that I hold the coins for the last 3 months and then the price went nuts. LOL.
10942  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think market response of the segwit on August 24rd 2017 @ 12:30 UTC on: August 24, 2017, 09:50:23 PM
Although I'm expecting the price to really push further however, but it did more or less retain its midweek rally. And it looks like the price just stabilizes at around $4000-$4200. I'm anticipating that we can push it to $5000 but it ain't gonna happen. I guess the future price of bitcoin will really hinges on the November Segwit2x hard fork.

Or it is still early to speculate about the price since it has just started so the extent of the activation hasn't felt. We should really give it some time to be sure that it has really a good effect to the price heading to the looming Segwit2x in November.

@joshy23. I read an article that Daniel Cormier is already planning his future, and the move to heavyweight is in the picture. He said that it will be easier for him because that is where his natural weight is. He is also mentally strong, I doubt the loss to Jon Jones would have destructive effect on him and his career.

Yes, he is an Olympian and I don't think the lost to Jones will be a mental barrier for him. He his a total warrior and mentally strong. I'm sure he will be back. Heavyweight was the first division that he really competed in. I was surprise to find him in LHW, although it has something to do with Cain Velasquez being the champion at Heavyweight that time and he doesn't want to fight him as we all know that they are training partners.

I absolutely wanted him to fight in Heavyweight as I'm seeing that division as somewhat pretty weak right now. And he could probably reign their as well.

Hey everyone. How many of you play at a bitcoin casino? Do you play at mBitcasino? DO YOU GUYS FEEL CHEATED EVER SINCE BITCOIN PRICES SKYROCKETED?! If yes I would like to hear your story. Because I feel as if I have been CHEATED thousands of dollars. Roughly at least 10k.... and with such came a huge amount of never ending consecutive losing spins that are so consistent as it feels as if RNG is not applied, more like scripted is what I would recall it.

We all felt cheating when we lost in a casino. But if you look closely, its our own fault why we lost. You should have quit early and not wait till I lost all my money and then accused them of something like cheating. How long have you been gambling anyways? Most of us have literally lost thousands and not even complaining because they don't take it personally against a casino. Maybe you are just unlucky that moment. Just continue with your life. And let this be a lesson to you as well.

BTC will rise higher in the next coming year.
Be reay

I am buying more.

I'm ready for it already, I know that it is going to rise higher and not just for the next year to come but also for the next years to come. How many had you bought already? I want to see bitcoin increase more and go to the moon but I want it slowly but surely. I'm not confident anymore with the rapid increase then it will fall rapid too.

I think with the previous blip, which is people are been waiting for to get and buy bitcoins again has bought already. That is why we saw that it has rebounded very quickly and for me this is another beginning of a bull run of bitcoin. So there is no question that the price could go to the moon at the end of the year.

People have already trusted that sometimes when there is a dip, its a perfect opportunity to get bitcoins again and hold on it for the long term because all of us believes that the price will exponentially grow in the years to come.

Where did Bitcoin and bitcointalk.org start? How? And who is the main founder or creator of this website?

Of course the man himself.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

And I think Theymos took over from Satoshi when he left this forum. And the rest is history.

Here is a thread about Satoshi's wallet if you are interested as well.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=507458.0

I am around since 2011 here. Kinda nice if Satoshi Nakamoto was one of the founders of this forum. I honestly did not use the forum much in 2011 just read some news and went on and came back in like and made an account in 2013. A lot has changed since then but I can still remember the topics about many bitcoins and you could claim hole bitcoins from faucets when Bitcoin was not worth that much. Kinda funny how far we came. Curious how 2020 will look in here when everything has hit a lot higher than we can imagine right now.

I think you will never have the chance since he is last active here in 2010. Although it will be really a pleasure to at least have a conversation with him in this forum. The man is truly legendary because he created something that take the world by storm and we are now reaping its rewards.
10947  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How do you think about BCC, SELL or HOLD? on: August 22, 2017, 03:46:29 AM
Hello,

I bought 100 BCC at 0.02 satoshi, And I just hold 100 BCC now,
But BCC has a downtrend.

How do you think about BCC, SELL or HOLD?

BCC have a good news for rebounding a price at 0.02 or higher than 0.02?

I`m very stressed.



LOL. I think if you are stressed out, I recommend you to just sell it. However, the best opportunity to sell it is when the price is as high as $700-$800 so that you can maximized the profit. But since you are stressed, dump the coin and exit early before the crash will go further.

But then again, if you invest what you can afford then why are you so stressed?

Well, this is the perfect money to sell this coin since it is at the highest price it has been, around $700 at the moment.
So my recommendation is to sell right now, and use that money to buy another altcoins, or just buy more bitcoin.
It has no future, its only the coin for the miners, and are you a miner? if dont, then you dont need this coin.
I sell mine at $800 on august 1st

Did you check the latest price? Its down to $585 right now and not $700. That's why I said that he should have exit at this price. Now he is trap and the price keeps going down. The pumped has been over with this coin so I doubt it will be pump again.

10948  Economy / Speculation / Re: SELL NOW, big bitcoin dump! No fud. on: August 22, 2017, 02:29:38 AM
People are getting info about November fork, we might see drop below 3600 in next 48 hours and before Nomber possibly to 3k or less, but 3k will probably be a huge support. Also 1/3 (33 %) of miners changed from btc mining to bitcoin cash mining. People will FUD, sell now, buy back later when bitcoin dips. Segwit 23 August was already priced in and we risk fiasco of unsuccessful segwit transactions and/or lost coins because of segwit security vulnerabilities. Even Slush pool CEO (inventor of bitcoin mining pools) said that he first needs to see segwit transactions, until then no one knows.

Well if this is true then it will be good for new investors to buy bitcoin for the first time and I'm sure that the price could recover quickly. I don't know where you get your news cause you didn't put your sources. But I doubt that miners would suddenly and quickly change to BCC. I don't think that Segwit is already price in. I also thought so about this, but the price is continue to soar after the fork so I don't think that Segwit price is already in already.

For me, you are just enticing people to sell their coins so this is FUD at the highest level. Sorry dude but I'm not dumping my coins but will continue to buy in dips like this.
10949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread on: August 22, 2017, 02:01:18 AM
UFC embedded is producing vlogs leading up to Mayweather vs Mayweather. The first one was released today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWe1MMO5CWk

Floyd is saying he'll party the entire week leading up to the fight & in the vlog he's eating a hamburger. Roy Jones Jr. did this to opponents in the past where he would play an entire game of basketball on the day of his fight.

I hope Conor wins. Floyd has skill but his personality and the way he treats and relates to people rubs me the wrong way.

I think that's how promote himself mate. This is part of the psychological war he is playing with Conor. This is not the first time that Floyd has done this in the past as well. So you see you are affected by Floyd's ploy here. This is how he want's himself to be portrait and hated by lots of people. And this hater come to watch Floyd vs Conor. Because they want to see him lose, unfortunately 49 have tried, and 49 have failed. Conor will be his 50th victim.

Mayweather is really good in promoting himself and this fight. Again, I'm pretty sure that this will be the biggest sporting event this year in terms of PPV and revenue.
10950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Getting started with sports betting! on: August 21, 2017, 03:50:53 PM
In all the gambling games, I think sports betting is the best way to get bitcoin. Among all the gambling, I think it's the game that has the greatest chance of winning, rather than casino or any other kind of gambling.
You can say it's the best way if you yourself is profitable in sports betting, I think that's why we are just saying it's the best way because it's our favorite but in reality sports betting although no house edge in the game is still one of the type of gambling game that is not profitable to majority of gamblers.

It will not be profitable for some because they did know how the teams like in NBA play. If you don't know about the sports then its not wise for you to do sports betting. But for most of us who followed, NBA, football or even tennis, it's favorable to us because you know the teams or players strengths and weaknesses. That's why most of the gamblers prefer it.

Of course risk is involved and we are not 100% that we are always going to bet, so this sports betting is more exciting as compared to like dice games or slots or roulettes.

requested 2 days ago, but have not received yet, and no reply from support team. anyone can help?


I'm sorry mate, but I don't know if someone can help you out with your issues. You should have check the forum first. I guess there is no harm in trying to contact them again and again and I also hope that it doesn't involved big amounts of btc here, if it is then chances are that you have loss it or consider it loss. Really hard to trust exchanges this days. BTC-e is a classic example and a lot of people have lost big amount of money there. And I don't know what's wrong with Exchanges as well, they gonna lost customers if they have this attitude like poor customer support.
10952  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: A new record from Bitcoin Cash: what to expect the market on: August 21, 2017, 02:40:26 PM

The "clone" Bitcoin, which appeared on August 1 after the hardfork, received name Bitcoin Cash. It's began to grow again and reached $ 800. This positive trend was observed since last Thursday.
Thanks to this, Bitcoin Cash now occupies the third position in the rating of cryptocurrency, yielding in terms of its capitalization from $ 13.3 billion only original Bitcoin and Ethereum with their $ 68.2 and $ 27.9 billion, respectively.
Benefits from the instability of top cryptocurrency can be valuable for traders and other projects. NeuroSeed can be referred to such projects, which will soon release its fundamentally new product and also issue a token - "seed".



I think the price of the Bitcoin Cash will continue to move upwards. As per me, there are many people who wants to invest into the btc but as the price is very high, they have started investing into the Bitcoin Cash. The demand for the bitcoin cash will be continues so the price will be increased accordingly.

But is down to $600 now since the it was pumped last couple of days to reached $800. I don't know if the price will continue upwards unless there is some big entities who will continue to pump on this coin. And I also doubt that the demand will go high, as investors will likely push their cash to a coin that has been established already and get the support of most of the investors - Bitcoin.
10953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not? on: August 19, 2017, 10:05:20 AM
I think the best way is to find out if they actually payout big wins esspecially for promotions and how the honour their promotion rules a d agreements. Some casinos will come up with any excuses just to not pay you and accuse you of all sorts of impossible things.

There's a lot of casino's that will always do that. Reasoning out so that they can avoid those gamblers to pay for bigger winnings. But this is the reality, just choose those casino's that are reputably operating for a lot of years and has the extensive background in the industry and trusted by the people.
well always thinks for your convenience knowing some site which already got a good reviews and operating for much longer time would be the
first basis that needs to be check before placing your money inside any casino house, its better to be safe than sorry in the end.

We have to know and make sure that the site we are playing are trusted and has been operating for a longer time. Why it's a need because they will be tested by the time although still there's a risk, only trust those casino's that has the name and there's a lot of gamblers so that all of you are confident that have been playing with a reputable one.

I think I have to agree with you mate. It should be in the business for the longest time and people have been trusted this site ever since. There are a lot of new online gambling site popping, so we get excited create an account and started playing. Then later on, you or someone else will open a scam accusation saying that the site is not paying and is cheating etc etc.

So for me I don't gamble on a site that is brand new. I want to, but I don't want to take risk. I will still play on a reputable gambling site. I'm not saying that a new one can't be reputable, but they have to established themselves first and maybe I will play on that site.
10954  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BTC-e account speculation thread on: August 19, 2017, 09:21:00 AM
I still view this on a positive note. And I think once BTC-e recovered and repay this customers through tokens, they will come back again and people will still trust them. The question is do they have the capability to pay back their customers? I would say no, but they are making a headway and it should be a welcoming news. I think they should look at how bitfinex turn everything around, from being hack and in a matter of few months, was able to pay back by issuing tokens then buying it back.
10955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to spot a gambler addicted? on: August 19, 2017, 04:33:03 AM
If is a friend, then definitely its easy to say that he is addicted if he just talked about gambling all day. He will talked about his exploits and winning. But seldom do you see a gambling addict telling all about his losses last night. Its all winnings for them but you would tell that he is in the negative side the way he dresses or looks.

As for those who are not close to you, its really hard to spot them. Unless you see them asking money from you. LOL. Think of a total stranger begging for money because he/she wants to play. That's addicted to me.
10956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: August 19, 2017, 03:55:05 AM
As you know that you need to stop and leave the game? How can you feel this moment. I almost always lose their money because they can't learn when to leave the game. I'm not sorry to lose. I have a lot of money not to lose, but I can't keep the winnings if I'm lucky.
To leave the games is depending on you, sometimes it is only the mind of the individuals if He/She going to leave or not. Other says if your winning many times you better stop playing, for me in addition to that if you are loss may times better for the player to stop to play before they become totally wreck.

Its really depend on the individual themselves. The more they realized that gambling is not good and it could bring you a total wreck later then its time for us to really give us. We don't to end up in a situation that we are trap and can't get out because we are in too much trouble because of debt with other people or banks because you became so addicted in it.

Other factors as well is your daily lives, your family and friends would also be involved because they are worried about it. If you then experienced this, its also time to give up everything, leave the game and make a U-turn for the better.
10957  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Give me advice pls! (Online shop) on: August 19, 2017, 03:21:30 AM
There are many things you can sell on the internet. I have a friend and he is a game reseller. He sell key Steam game and he has made a lot of money from his job. You can do that too if you want Wink

Can you please elaborate more on this scheme? I'm thinking of doing some business but can't find a good source of Steam games that I can resell for cheap price.

Have you thought about selling some exclusive or rare collections like baseball cards, classic watch. It doesn't comes from you can start by working as re seller from the real seller  Cool
Perhaps there is an idea to sell cards in this way via the Internet and for crypto currency. In this way, one can earn very well on the Crypto currency and thereby spread the word about crypto currency to a large number of people. The demand and popularization of Bitcoin is also very important in our business.

Selling cards specially collectors items is very profitable indeed. But I'm seeing a lot of fake cards lately. Just be sure that you are getting a genuine card before getting one. I know that this market is huge but its gonna be hard to penetrate if I'm not mistaken. I'm thinking of selling watches, maybe this could be a good idea to the OP.
10958  Economy / Speculation / Re: is there any chance to BTC value go down? on: August 19, 2017, 02:10:04 AM
There's a big damn chance for it to happen, the significant price increase can't just keeping up forever, the correction will come if you do the math, but noone knows when it'll happen. Since the price is just pure demands from the market and just how the whales manipulate people's brain to make either buying or selling trends, no obvious analyzation and will never be.
But you are not considering about new investors. When bitcoin prices are reaching new heights, it attracts more investors from rest of world. When there are more people who are eagerly waiting to buy comparatively cheaper prices, then we cannot expect prices to fall down drastically.

Dumping/profit booking by whales will be losing its significance when there will be enough buyers on the other end. Literally when bitcoin is gaining new heights, those whales are losing their power.

I believed also that there are a lot of new investors that are willing to come in anytime. They are just waiting for the perfect time to go in, in a crash or a price dip. I see that their is minor correction going on, a lot of investors cashing in, its normal. But I speculate that new investors will be coming in this coming days pushing the price to $4500.

Of course the price can't keep going up, that is why a price correction is needed, but I don't see anything that will cause panic sell that will completely categorized it as a market crash. Its just minor price correction the way I look at it.
10959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: August 19, 2017, 01:45:13 AM
Last week, I won 87 EUR. I gambled on multiple sport betting, usually I prefer betting on soccer games and tennis, and I do put only 10 EUR. It's one of my best thing in the start of the this year 2017. Generally, I don't stake so much as the same time don't cross the barrier of 20 EUR.
One of the good things about sports betting is you can bet a low amount and if the odds are high you can earn a good amount by betting small, the only problem is to win those games with long odds may take a while.

The odds may be high, but the risk is still there and the match can go wrong. I tried to place only 3 bets in sports betting on my life and it didn't help me, I still lost. Be careful even with sports!
True!!! Not all sports betting, you can win.
Most of the time gambling or even that sports betting are more on luck, and sometimes even if you are good enough in analyzing that team, you can also lose here. Gambling is very risky and we don’t have any assurance here.
Thats why gambling isnt sure win . Even the odds of the team you pick is higher than the opponent theirs a chance of lossing. It is depending on your analyzation on a team where will you bet and on your luck too. Its hard to predict if the both teams are both good. The odds will have a chance to have odds thats the same.
True, if that teams are both good and you just relying of what you have known on that teams then there is no assurance that the team that you choose can win, I don't think that in sport betting, there is a high percentage you can win. It is still base on our luck.
But having a good analysis on choosing your team would really give an advantage if you do know the standing of such thing. Luck is always part on playing gambling and knowing sportsbetting you may see that you bet on stronger team but there are things do happen unexpectedly which would cause for you to lose which means the risk of losing is always present.
You have a good analysis on choosing a game but as like what you have said there are things do happen unexpectedly, so that will still base on luck. Even in choosing a team is not an assurance even if you say that they are the strongest team. There is still a chance that they will lose and you lose also when you bet for them.

The element of surprise is always present and we really don't know what will be the outcome or the result in sports betting. Although I think analyzing a team and making the correct decision to bet on it is a good strategy. Its that in life we really don't know the future and sometimes we think that we have all in the bag the suddenly the supposed to be winning team lost in a matter of fraction of a seconds. That's how life goes, its not over till the fat lady sings.

Haven't seen any thread about the Fiba Asia Cup 2017 that runs from Aug 8 -20. Right now the semi-final team cast as completed:

Korea beat the Philippines
Iran over Lebanon
New Zealand defeat Jordan
Australia over China

so in the cross-over, its gonna be:

Australia vs New Zealand
Iran vs Korea

http://www.fiba.basketball/asiacup/2017

What's is your prediction of this upcoming matches? Please discuss.


Looks like China's dominant in the Fiba Asia has already diminished. Although they still has the most medals won followed by the Philippines. I don't know what the Chinese team sent this year, but I'm assuming that its a fresh and young pool talent. Disappointing lost of Philippines as well, because the last 2 tournament they are in the Finals, losing to Iran and China. Chinese is the defending champion, but I guess we will crown a new one. I'm going with Iran here, although Hadid the former MVP is not around anymore, they have a good solid team.
