Excellent night out, home teams all played really well last night, even Watford despite their fighting loss to Manchester City. Very happy we got the Brighton win, even though they were the slight underdog, they raced into a 3-0 lead that Crystal Palace were never going to go level with. We switch over to the away teams tonight! Liverpool once more features tonight, and we parlay that against a goalfest at Old Trafford (poor odds on either winners so why not bank on Emery's boys to fire away?) and the Leicester away win? Game 1: Burnely vs Liverpool. Liverpool WIN @1.3. Nitro: 1.286 Game 2: Man Utd vs Arsenal. Over 2.5 goals @1.63. Nitro: 1.619 Game 3: Fulham vs Leicester. Leicester WIN @.2.56. Nitro: 2.545 100 units parlay at Bitcoinrush @5.417. Nitro parlay: 5.299 Odds advantage: 2.23% Units advantage: 11.8
Running advantage after 106 bets: +1,291.09 (+11.8units)
Running units after 105 bets (28W|77L): +133.06 (+399.67 units)

Price correlation doesn't seem as strong in the bear than it does in the bull, I guess. There's another picture to look at though, apart from job openings, I think there's also been past research that shows salaries have gone down. So the demand and positions are there, but we can thank Bitcoin's tanking for unreasonable salaries coming down to more sane levels (but blockchain engineers still are paid more than other fintech areas, such as AI).
Still all concentrated in Silicon Valley, and I'm reading that the expertise is concentrated in parts of Europe and European Russia - wonder if we'll see a second wave of Computer Tech migrants making their way to jobs.
Meanwhile, financial economic crime specialists, highly sought after by institutions preparing to deal with Bitcoin and crypto, are still in demand. Looking at LinkedIn jobs recently, blockchain ones get scores of applicants but FEC and crypto specific roles at banks and FIs are only getting a handful of applicants even after months. Seems like an opportunity.

Must be something somewhat lost in translation any financial institution, which I believe now exchanges qualify for categorisation as such in Japan, is bound to inform the authorities of any alerts/red flags received, so it's not just crypto exchanges targeted, it's just that exchanges now fall into the same category as others and are merely asked to be compliant.
As gentlemand astutely points out, this is what exchanges are heading towards - banks and financial institutions. Can't say exchanges won't want that either, they're all keen on being "1 stop shops" for crypto consumers.

Love it when people still think the Federal Reserve is able to influence Bitcoin this much, they didn't print billions to dump on anything, and sorry but it isn't just people in USA buying Bitcoin with their precious dollars too.
Not that I'm going to provide a more scientific or mathematical alternative, but it might be worth reminding that just because there is price and numbers, doesn't mean every single coin is backed by some US dollar somewhere in someone's pocket. A lot more people are "owning" and "trading" Bitcoin without even actually moving or controlling a single satoshi.

^ They can't let Mou go now either way. United is in the KO stages and Mou is their best chance they've got if the wanna progress further in the tourney.
Btw Southampton is going after Ralph Hassenhutl to be its next manager after sacking Mark Hughes. Should be good if they get him. That's another decent manager in the EPL.
Ashamed to say I had no idea about that name before you mentioned it, even if I'm familiar with the Red Bull teams performances recently. Austrian coach with Bundesliga credentials, definitely can't go wrong there but it's hard not to improve over Hughes, with all respect due. Saints deserve something better, and while I normally blame players as a team, guys like Hughes are outdated in the Premier League. Is no one backing Watford tonight for over 11/1? There's also a less bold 2/1 +1.5 handicap. I know, Sterling's on form and de Bruyne's back from injury, but I'm hoping against all hope Watford take a page out of Wolves' courage against City. Just go at them, you're at home. And guys like Sterling and Sane, they're actually quite susceptible to home crowds who're on their back. |

Leverkusen tried and tried very hard but to no avail. Have I been caught out by the winter period where teams run out of energy or are conserving them? So many parlays lost by a goal or a failure to win by favourites. Nonetheless, we keep our spirits high because there's still 2/3rd of the season to go. Premier League is back tonight and we'll go for two home games to keep it simple! Game 1: AFC Bournemouth vs Huddersfield. Bournemouth WIN @1.67. Nitro: 1.661 Game 2: Brighton and Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace. Brighton WIN @2.99 Nitro: 2.973 100 units parlay at Bitcoinrush @4.9967 Nitro parlay:4.938 Odds advantage: 1.1% Units advantage: 5.83 Running advantage after 105 bets: +1,279.29 (+5.83 units)
Running units after 104 bets (27W|77L): -266.61 (-100 units) |

He isn't wrong on his point, everyone seems to be too obsessed on the price in USD that we tend to forget on enhancing the fundamentals and have focused more on value. As such, we have this wild fluctuations in price leading to profits and losses, and the big guys have seen this as a weakness and have exploited the said weakness up to its core, causing the market to be highly unstable. If we want to move forward, we need to create more platforms, services etc. that's bitcoin-centric (or somewhat focuses more on bitcoin) in order to relieve the notion that most are after USD ultimately, and to have a wider use-case for bitcoin and crypto, not only for speculation.
Neither is he really right. All this obsession with price? It's the same thing responsible for the bull run(s) of the past, and we didn't see him complaining either. We're all entitled to do as we please with our money - sort of the whole idea about Bitcoin - and if we can't stand that we're the special few who only care about the tech and the revolution, standing alone in a sea of speculators, then we should leave. Of course, I'm sweating this out like everyone else, and I do agree that speculation is rocking the boat, but yes, we're to blame. We're also to thank for everything good that's ever happened to Bitcoin. Gotta take some responsibility and take credit for it all. |

Not sure what you mean by can't get physical commodities. Lots of cases where Bitcoin's been used to exchange for exactly that: real estate's a prime example where even cash isn't preferable for single-payment buys.
Worse come to worse, Bitcoin is exchangeable almost anywhere in the world for almost any currency - and that's not decided by any country or bank, there's just simply millions of people and businesses that will readily accept your Bitcoin.
Name 1 other currency that you can use anywhere in the world to exchange for the country's currency. Don't say USD either, some countries prohibit those, and you'd need to find a moneychanger in 90% of the world. Bitcoin? Go p2p and there's plenty of people ready to take your bitcoin.
It being stateless isn't a shortfall, it's one of the very things creating value for it.

OTC for sure, forget fees if you have the buyers ready, doesn't hurt you to offer to get the bitcoin off the miners without charging fees, since you already will get commissions from the buyers. Sort of like maker no fee kind of deal. Look for those new entrants, old ones probably have longstanding deals they aren't likely to disband. Trust in this business not easily gained.

Oh my god, he's right. $4,000 is close to becoming worthless. Better exit this death spiral and hedge my bets with the ever-powerful US dollar or something. Just as we were thinking these old school economics experts were at least beginning to come to terms with what Bitcoin really is, they come out and make themselves look stupid. Thought these guys were keen to stay in the shadows to toil on their life's work. Now they want to come out and play for their share of the 5-second limelight.
The first and last time hashpower or cost of operation was ever used to determine Bitcoin price was in 2009 when New Liberty Standard set it at US$1 = 1,309.03 BTC.
We've moved on, Mr. Sarin.

portfolio day by day worthless but i think there no way to still keep holding definitely i say holders lose. Even some companies don't believe in crypto currencies and so they decide to transfer in equity base platform.
Since when have companies ever dictated what the future of cryptocurrency will be? Those who "believed" and now gave up weren't believers, just passengers on the bandwagon. Those who do believe were into Bitcoin when it was at $100 and will probably be around if it ever somehow reached $100 again. Belief has very little to do with price, and everything to do with... belief! There will not be a true blockchain without cryptocurrency i guess. Frankly speaking your point are not surprised for those who are long term investors in cryptocurrency, there is no way a holder will lose his/her investment when he/she patiently HODL, so, kindly hodl for a better bull run in the nearest future.
In the last crash, there was a lot of apologist talk and a new enlightenment that it was blockchain, rather than Bitcoin, that would show the way to salvation. Cue Bitcoin's resurgence (and yes, it's still multiple times above 2016 value, by the way) and cue the fall of all other blockchain platforms and services that desperately cling on to Bitcoin's fate to guide their own. But why convince people to stay? This is good for us. The culling is far from over. |

Not to mention, once again -- the terms of the ICO are kind of bizarre and doesn't seem like anyone spent any time reviewing it. For instance, it appears the value of the token is derived because bitsafe.io promises to use 40% of future profits to do token buy backs. Ok, fair enough. But that program only continues until 60% of the tokens are bought-back. So then what? The remaining 40%'s token's only utility is to get the 50% discount? How can such an important thing be so massively underspecified.
And I suspect the business model in the "whitepaper" is fundamentally doomed: a rational fee-payer would buy X/2 btc worth of tokens instead of paying X btc worth of fees, and save (more than) 50%. Which not only leads to price instability, but as people do this, bitsafe.io doesn't make any money -- unless they get into the business of selling/creating tokens to sell on the market. And if they do that, it's a pretty convoluted way of just having lower fees. But if history is any indication -- the terms will just be arbitrarily changed in ways that are unfair to investors.
The way I see it - and I don't understand "tokenomics" very much at all - all the incentivation models of tokens have not worked, not without a pre-existing need for the utility, as in the case with Binance and BNB, which it had to work very hard to build up first. Even so, I can't see that model as being sustainable long term, as you point out, the price instability already means people are looking for better, new options, and ever-increasing rates of attrition for users. Something a service like Binance can ride out because it's a market maker. Buy backs don't seem to have worked very well either, exactly because of the inability to determine price floors. |

Think anyone promoting crap should get time in prison crappers, so far it's fines they can probably pay off. Not really sure ICOs should be any more of a target than MLMs or other ambassadorial products I see on regular media, they're all basically selling profit and easy money.
What about all those advisors with their names peddled on whitepapers and slapped on to ICO ratings sites? McAfee the obvious scalp as OP points out but am pretty sure we've seen quite prominent devs feature quite prominently on some ICOs. They're arguably more influential than Cryptotubers. Be nice for the likes of Forbes to also get rapped. Featuring Onecoin on their cover for example.

Just when I thought we would see through the year without yet another mention of bloodbath haha. To be fair, yeah a 50% drop was some form of panic inducing moment and sure 90% across the board for the rest of crypto so maybe that qualifies as a bloodbath.
But when Bitcoin has had plenty of crashes to beyond a tenth of its ATH, and with no real signs of capitulation outside of price, what blood is there to bathe in?

So derby day is over, not a bad way to spend 6 hours watching some good football. The Chelsea vs Fulham was probably the least exciting of the three, feels like that 1st goal in the 4' min killed the game, Fulham had a pretty straighforward gameplan which was defend the draw, once Chelsea scored, Fulham didn't know what to do to change the course of the game.
Arsenal vs Tottenham, pretty good first half from Spurs, awful second half, but props to Emery for knowing what should be done in the 2nd half: exploit Tottenham's biggest weakness, the midfield. Once Ramsey was on the pitch, the team felt more fluid, Torreira was able to provide a more defensive role, Auba and Lacazette playing out wide allowed the Gunners to have more options on the attack, and Ramsey provided the creative football that they were missing with Iwobi on the pitch. Masterclass from Emery.
Liverpool vs Everton, the Toffees deserved a lot more, what a performance, but seriously, how do you concede such a goal? was it pure luck? is Pickford too fucking short? or was it all calculated (Allison to Arnold, long ball, a header from VVD, hit the crossbar as intended, and then Origi scores the goal lol)?
I know, I'm still feeling the buzz! But you really couldn't write the script for last night, not in a thousand games. I know it's only a Merseyside derby but surely every neutral would have loved that we kept within touching distance of bleeding City. I know I may have said it too many times, but seeing Liverpool scrape by so often and still playing far below their best, gives me a lot of hope for when they do come out of their rut. City are top but they're playing fluidly and we all know teams can't possibly play at the same level all season. Two-thirds of the league to go, plenty of time yet for the Reds to find their mojo. @LFCBitcoin: If this doesn't give Pool the buzz they need for Napoli, I don't know what will! |

Indeed... over 180 transactions, with the bulk of whatever balance remaining taking place in the last month or so. Only about 0.023++ remaining in your wallet given, so there's really not much to recover, unless you spent it all also to wallets you control, though since you're asking how to recover, I guess not.
Should always use a client that's still supported, I'm with Neurotic on recommending Electrum for that.

Doom and gloom, as it turns out, but for Liverpool to win the Merseyside derby the way they did, I'd have given up yesterday's parlay any time of day. Some wins are just everything and we'll remember this one for a long time. Monday night football's not going to get me to go on telly, but here is today's parlay on 2 away wins at Serie A and Bundesliga: Game 1: Atalanta vs Napoli: Napoli WIN @2.2. Nitro odds: 2.187 Game 2: Nurnberg vs Bayer Leverkusen: Leverkusen WIN @1.78. Nitro odds: 1.764 100 units parlay at Bitcoinrush @3.9054 Nitro parlay: 3.858 Odds advantage: 1.23% Units advantage: 4.74 units Running advantage after 104 bets: +1,273.46 (+4.74 units)
Running units after 103 bets (27W|76L): -166.61 (-100 units) |

Fantastic, bloody fantastic. Watching the match on CNBC so not the best commentary but we still got a lot of action on both ends. Derby Day, but it was going to need something a bit special to take away some spotlight from Arsenal's hammering of Spurs in London... who else but a supersub from Liverpool to snatch all 3 points at the end? A weird Alisson pass free kick to I think Trent... cross for VVD (!) to try a volley (I know you last scored like that for Netherlands but oh Dijk) which was heading out until poor Pickford palms it back into play... Should/neck score from Origi.
Luckiest win of all season by far and if the commentator was right, Liverpool extended their record for most Premier League goals scored in injury time.
I said before the game I miss heavy metal Kloppball but these types of wins are what seem to carry teams across the line.
@LFC you're still top of our leaderboard, amazing form.

gunners going nuts....
good game to watch
looking forward for that other derby....
Chose the wrong match to bet on. Thought the Chelsea game would be tight, but they were just 1 corner short for me to get my first leg under the belt, whereas we've now got 12 corners on the Arsenal Spurs game AND 6 goals with 10 mins to go. Knew they'd be very open but I wrongly predicted they'd cancel each other out for a game with few shots on targets and corners. 4-2 and they're heading to run this out on fumes, what a derby so far! Hopefully the goals flow as much for the merseyside derby. I hope they show us a bit of the "old" gungho Reds but I'd prefer a clean sheet and a couple of goals for our forwards. Do miss seeing my team getting out of 2nd gear though! |

Been one of my first observations when talking about "institutional" opinion, and this also from personale experience listening to different types of people talk about Bitcoin. The suits and ties are no doubt interested in Bitcoin, have been for a while, but never because of the new idea of how money would be viewed - that's been around for years. Their interest and awareness only piqued by price speculation, nothing more.
Controlling their own money? Being responsible for signing transactions? Keeping their wallet safe? God forbid. They're in love with the system, it's how they make their wealth. They want to trust someone else with their money. They want a custodian. Preferably, someone to tell them they have Bitcoin instead of storing their own access. An email and password to view some arbitrary balance, because that's what they're comfortable with.
