1301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: if the bear market starts next month on: February 19, 2021, 10:38:11 PM
Ethereum shows great promise of survival, as well as BNB  surprisingly, ever since it landed on top three of course. A lot of altcoins in the market will definitely take a punch in the gut once bitcoin drops in value, and based on observation and past experiences, only those coins that have already established themselves in the market will be able to survive, everything else will be casualties in the ensuing bloodbath.
1302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take team's cohesion into account when betting? on: February 19, 2021, 10:34:48 PM
Thanks for your replies! Just to summarize, it seems that most of you think that the team's cohesion is very important, but that it's very hard to assess it. Does it mean that when choosing what to bet on, we lack some essential information required to make this decision?
And I agree that cohesion is not just about football, but any team sport. It's just that football is closer to me and the TV show was about football, so I chose to develop my thoughts in this regard.
You may safely say that OP, it's the nature of gambling to not give you the ball anyway, so it's not like it's a big problem for sports bettors like us. It's just of course a big advantage if there ever comes a situation where information like this is plotted and made obvious for the bettors out there too see. At the end of the day, my days of playing percentage games taught me how big 1 percent can be.
1303  Economy / Economics / Re: Economist predicts demise of global central banks on: February 18, 2021, 11:29:25 PM
It's bound tp hapoen, now that the whole global economy is basically a cesspool of loans and financial ruin, the evidence of global central banks falling becomes more apparent. That being said, this also means that without a strong backer, fiat may as well fall down as a result, and if that happens, we can't say much for sure whether cryptocurrencies can sustain the global economy at its current stage, knowing that the market cap is only about 1 trillion dollars, and we have 100+ countries in the planet.
1304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rise of Bitcoin, Fall of Dollar on: February 18, 2021, 11:26:11 PM
Contrary to popular belief, bitcoin has no influenece to the USD, it just so happened that USD is the prime currency of the market and so it was used to compare and contrast currencies. Nonetheless the constant comparison does give investors insight as to what is going on with USD, it's falling short compared to bitcoin which quickly rose in value in only a span of a decade.
It does not have any influence on the dollar, because before bitcoin the dollar value also increased and decreased. It's just a coincidence and for me bitcoin is bitcoin and dollar is dollar. they are in their own market and have their own target.
Exactly. Not necessarily a coincidence since they still have some sort of relationship but not in terms of bitcoin affecting the USD value.
1305  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: taking profit can be hard sometimes. on: February 18, 2021, 11:19:54 PM
Seller's dilemma it is. Most experienced investors and traders are prone to this tyoe of issue because they know well how hard it is to see that their patience could've gotten them a little farther. Still, when this thing happens to me, I always say that it could be worse, and it's good that I never let myself be fomoed instead.
1306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: February 18, 2021, 11:14:33 PM
It makes you more confident on the games your team will play, because by then you will know what your team is capable of doing and not, based of course on their known skill set and what the enemy has to offer to the table. So it may seem like voodoo crap to some, but knowing and researching your team's capabilities actually work in betting.
Knowing the details about the team may increase your winning percentage, but it can't guarantee you a win. But you can do better in sports betting if you check the team properly and you bet on that team. I have seen many gamblers doing well in sports batting because they bet in the right way.Those who bet a little more carefully in sports betting have a better chance of winning, because there the player can take the bet using his own knowledge.
Well of course there will always be a margin of error that can escalate to a lost, but honestly speaking, I will happily take the small advantage increase than having none at all.
1307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you say you made money if you never actally sell your coins? on: February 17, 2021, 11:09:06 PM
There are many types of wealth, cash is just one of those. Who cares if your wallet is empty? As long as your investments are flourishing and is profiting very hefty sums, you are winning and you are making money, it is up to you if you want to liquidate the earnings for consumption, but a wise person will use the profit itself to expand his venture, which will in turn make him more money in the process.
1308  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Nigeria Come Late to the Bitcoin Party? on: February 17, 2021, 11:06:24 PM
What the country lacks in technological hardware, is compensated with the knowledge of the people in that country regarding technology. Seriously, Nigerians are very good with technology and coding, and oftentimes the skills are put to bad use courtesy of scamming and online theft, but imagine if the countrymen will be given the chance to prove themselves, they may even become pioneers of technology
1309  Economy / Economics / Re: How billions in pandemic aid was swindled by con artists and crime syndicates on: February 17, 2021, 11:03:31 PM
Huge amounts of people getting scammed out of their aids goes to show that scammers don't pick no good day to scam people, so let's take the initiative and secure ourselves to ensure that we don't become victims to these people. Here in my country alone, millions were scammed out of their government aids as well, mostly senior citizens and people who are gullible enough are the ones that got heavily affected sadly.
1310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't get discouraged! on: February 17, 2021, 11:00:36 PM
Bitcoin is here to stay anyway, and whoever tells you otherwiae is utterly wrong. The coin had already weathered the tests of time and came out victorious, so there's no reason why everyone should doubt it's capabilities at this point. For some who are waiting for the huge dump, it may not come at least for a long time, so better buy some now and then do DCA instead so you can still continuously profit.
That's right, never give up yet. Even though we are late in buying Bitcoin and also some of us who have experienced big lost, that is no reason not
to buy Bitcoin. For me, no matter how high the price of Bitcoin is today, I will still buy it according to my finances. Because I think Bitcoin is
the future, and also the price will be much higher in the future. So don't be desperate to collect as much Bitcoin as possible, because hard work
usually always gives a good result.
Exactly. Bitcoin is very rewarding to those who are patient enough to watch it grow, and that's all it was asking for really, nothing else.
1311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I like to learn and use bitcoin on: February 17, 2021, 10:30:10 PM
Bitcoin provides freedom to whoever uses it. That's why most people seek refuge in it in replacement of banks, learning how to use and obtain bitcoins in all ways possible is integral in achieving mastery over it and in the process, mastery over the benefits it provides. In that regard, bitcoin provides freedom but only for those who are willing to learn more about it.
There is nothing wrong to say that Bitcoin can boost your bank balance in the shortest possible time. There are many factors that support this statement.
* The demand for Bitcoin has been increased a lot in recent years.
* Those who have some stored bitcoins with them are able to sell them at a much higher price than what they actually invested.


Hence why I believe bitcoin gives freedom, banks usually make more money than you, using the money you gave them of course. But with bitcoin, you become the bank, and with that all the benefits of being a bank is bestowed upon you as well.
1312  Economy / Economics / Re: Here is why btc will die as a crypto on: February 17, 2021, 10:26:15 PM
Bitcoin is not made to make cheap and fast transactions, you silly. Though of course as more and more people use it, it is, inevitable that people will try to use bitcoin in this manner. Nonetheless, I am hopeful that in the future, something could be done about this because it is going to rely hurt bitcoin's reputation among the newcomers and may scare them away from using it.
Bitcoin did not made just because of the speed on sending bitcoin to another address but because it is made for the permission less in which you don't need to have any problem on sending high amount of money just like going to bank and etc, the use of this is because you can make big transaction without any problem or waiting but there is also an fee whenever you are making a transaction, but it is good enough to use than waiting for so long right? This is why bitcoin made the resistance and security is already here.
Exactly, but of course, there will be instances where remittance of high amounts of money will be needed where bitcoin may play a huge role. But if it is kept this way, that may not happen at all.
1313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Three Indians arrested over illegal betting in ZACS on: February 17, 2021, 10:22:57 PM
Big giveaway that tapped their location to the police is the fact that they are out in the oublic gambling instead of inside the comfort of their houses, these guys must be so confident of their skills that they felt untouchable. Unfortunately for them, the police is much more perceptive of their activities and so they got busted as a result. Hoping this will serve as a warning and a lesson to those who want to take in illegal gambling.
1314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17 on: February 17, 2021, 10:19:55 PM
A lost cause for Mr. Ben right here, whatever people may tell or say about Jake Paul, he's just a YouTuber, and if in the case he wins against Askren, Ben's reputation among the people and the media will be utterly devastated. Whereas if he wins there's not much to say since the guy is a YouTuber. Still, I'd like to see how this fight will pan out despite me not being a fan of both personalities.
1315  Economy / Economics / Re: What Are NFTs? on: February 16, 2021, 10:09:37 PM
NFTs is slowly getting more and more notice recently which was why some DeFi projects out there are implementing NFTs of all sorts from cards, digital arts, and even in-game items to boost community engagement and of course business in the process. So yeah, NFTs are becoming more and more relevant by the day, and I'm more confident this will only increase in the future.
1316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why don't American Companies make Bitcoin Miners? on: February 16, 2021, 10:03:31 PM
They wanna make it obscure if they do have mining rigs since it will spark an issue with the media, we all know how awful those guys are and how negative they are towards bitcoins and cryptocurrencies in general. Or they don't and have gone through several feasibility studies and found out that mining isn't as profitable as it is anymore, and unless you run a large scale factory that automatically does the mining for you, the tradeoff isn't going to be nice.
I remember about a few years ago discovering several Bitcoin mining machines made in America, but it is more expensive than machines made in China.
So some American companies stopped producing them, as usual, China can make anything cheaper because it is related to material and labor issues,
which are indeed much cheaper than America. So China can produce Bitcoin mining machines that are cheap. So America is indeed less competitive
than China regarding Bitcoin mining machines,  therefore what is widely circulating in the market is mining machines made in China.
China is all about quantity over quality, which is why they make more than the US, America on the other hand is more about the quality of the product.
1317  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC HIT $50000🎯 on: February 16, 2021, 09:59:59 PM
Funny how a few days ago JP morgan is yet again throwinf shade at bitcoin, calling it names and such, but as soon as bitcoin hits new pricepoints they start wagging their tails, I assure you that thee guys wil use bitcoin to take over the market once again so always keep an eye out, we knew how awfully bad the banking system was, we must rise above it and declare bitcoins and cryptocurrency as the future of money.
Short term goal is $55k to me this month. However, the price didn't seem to hold at the $50k mark at we have seen some liquidations immediately after it was hit. Nevertheless, it's already an accomplished for us and sooner or later we are going to surpassed it again but this time the price are going to stick out and will become the support level.
I don't see this rally ever stopping now at this point, a lot of people made predictions regarding bitcoin's price but none are yet to be right since they all believe bitcoin will drop at some point during this rally, let's just hope for the best and perhaps hold strong if we don't really need the money
1318  Economy / Economics / Re: Im big fan of stable coins and this is what I think on: February 16, 2021, 09:55:57 PM
Stablecoins have been receiving some notice way recently most likely because of Elon shilling Dogecoin on his twitter account. And personally I think that the framework of the new currency system which will happen once cryptocurrency takes in charge of the world, will be set in stablecoins whilst the volatile ones will continue to be used for asset and investment.
1319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do we lose at gambling? on: February 16, 2021, 09:50:09 PM
Losing is just the way gambling works, if you're not alosing, is it really gambling? At some point in your run you'll encounter losses, heck maybe a lot of them too. But if you realize that it is not about winning more but is about controlling yourself to lose less games, you'll start to see the difference. Not losing is winning, so if you keep your losses in check, perhaps through self-control or whatnot, best believe you'll be getting the dough!
1320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do ordinary people feel afraid of Bitcoin? on: February 15, 2021, 10:57:12 PM
It's untested waters for these people, they clearly have no idea of what bitcoin is or what cryptocurrencies are in the first place, so they fear of putting money into it not realizing the great potential bitcoins and cryptocurrency in general can give. Nonetheless, this fear is justified since from a logical standpoint, this is the optimal solution. To fear and stay away from it.
