To be honest, I am really expecting ETH to have much lower fees like in just a few cents per transaction because of transitioning from PoW to PoS. Although that they have managed to lower them down, but not what I have really expected.
Hopefully this upgrade and/or the future upgrades will significantly lower down the fees way beyond my expectations since some of my clients are preferring to pay me USDT in ETH network than in BNB or Polygon without any reason at all. Maybe they trust ETH more despite the fees.
But at least right now it’s a little bit better than the yesteryears where we pay ridiculous high amounts worth of ETH gas fees.
Perhaps, there is a change, and too unfortunate that we think the transition is the solution to high fees, it is even getting worse as per to see. I was wondering why but yes, the heavy network congestion gives us no option to spare, we really have to face the reality that this is hard to cut it down and bring back the fee many years ago. For now, it was hard to assume that we can pay small fees for ETH and ERC20 tokens, and paying $10 per transaction is seems normal. |

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
I'm sure every user here has a different opinion on your question. If in my opinion even though you make and give predictions to win prizes without the money you give to bet or you can call it free then it is still included in the scope of gambling. You yourself make predictions and risk them in a free betting contest with the expectation of winning when the predictions you make are correct, whereas gambling is an activity that risks something for the purpose of getting some profit. So in conclusion, even though the predictions that you give without spending a penny, because there are prizes that can be obtained, it is a gambling bet. Well, I respect that opinion as well. But talking about gambling and that kind of activity can be considered as gambling when the is money involved when there is betting happening. While in the situation with DSTV is not gambling but just a sort of making fun of the people who is also a fan of predicting the future. Might not see yet any betting involve but was not sure how it runs in a few days because if there is a casino involved here where to claim your prizes, not that far that this will become gambling as betting will possibly start. |

As a Bitcoin enthusiast, there are many factors to consider before investing in Bitcoin. While it may always seem like the right time to invest, the decision ultimately depends on your individual circumstances. Whether you're considering investing in 2024 or this year, it's essential to conduct thorough research and determine the best time for you to invest in Bitcoin. Please note that we cannot provide financial advice, and any potential losses resulting from your investment decision will be your responsibility.
It's true that it doesn't matter if you want to invest in Bitcoin in 2024 or this year, but the sooner you invest in Bitcoin the better. Since now is the best time to be able to save up for the halving in 2024, the price of Bitcoin seems to increase significantly at that time and we can know for ourselves how much profit we can take. It really doesn't matter because not all of us can see the opportunity behind Bitcoin as what they usually see is the negative sides due to doubtful assumptions and mindset. If we keep saying NO, it is hard to convince our minds to invest in Bitcoin as we already block the positive to come. That is why I would say that no matter what we do, we can't please everyone to believe in us as they are not even believing in themselves in the first place. Therefore to say that Bitcoin is just meant for those who could understand the nature of the market. |

Let's be honest, market do not follow any rules. There is no rule or law that says BTC should reach another ATH next cycle and next after. What if 69K was the maximum it could reach, and for the next years or decades it will be mostly fluctuating between 15k and let's say 40k.
So, let's collect here the reasons why there will be ATH for BTC.
Name one (at least) reason, please.
Perhaps, there is no rule or law that says it turns to zero, the same thing that there is a chance to make another history and another ATH. We can't draw assumptions, not in a case where we know that Bitcoin is beyond unpredictable. Because as long as the community trusting and keep trading Bitcoin, you can't say it was impossible as it all possible. In fact, we thought before that $20k is impossible but it rallies more than that price and now, we are looking forward to seeing $100k in the future. |

With price dropping today from $30K to around $29K, are you worried there will be a deeper correction, or return to bear market, or is this just the short-term correction before re-testing $30K?
...
Every time the price of Bitcoin will pump, a correction will then follow. But I'd never think it was worrying enough because it rises back again stronger than before. I'd thought that the majority had already known this situation for this was not new anymore to the market. As long as the price of Bitcoin does not yet reach its peak, I was certain that after $30k, there is always room for $40k, $50k, and more...I think always about it, so instead I feel bad when it drops, why should I take this opportunity to buy more. |

I think that any coin has the capacity to surpass bitcoin. Ethereum has ever surpassed btc in the past. The possibility is always there but that's actually depends on how big the hype that already achieved by coin. As long as all of trading volume will able to be concentrated into the ethereum and it may possible for ethereum to take bitcoin spot. I would say that's impossible caused by it has ever happened in the past. So many veteran in here have ever seen about that too.
Perhaps, it was hard to believe that ETH will surpass Bitcoin even though there is a surge in its volume. Granting that Bitcoin is dominating the market since from the very beginning, it was really impossible for ETH and any altcoin to stop it. Besides, I'd never see any altcoins that are capable enough to that because it was not just the price, but also how the project is been useful to the community and we can't deny that Bitcoin has play a big role in crypto world more than what ETH and these altcoins can provide. |

The good news is that TNT is currently ahead, which increases the likelihood that this game will go to a Game 7.
Not sure though even the rumored script that the series will end at Game 7 no matter what by those PBA critics will be activated. If Ginebra will play without Justin Brownlee or even not at his 100% healthy status, it's hard to deal with TNT especially since their import is always consistent. As I previously mentioned, RHJ's full performance can only be stopped by Brownlee. Without Brownlee's presence on the floor, RHJ will just maintain his aggressiveness as his number 1 defender is out. Even Christian Standhardinger admitted that it's tough to do defense, not just against RHJ but to all TNT gunners if Brownlee is not there. As far as the recent news is concerned about the status of Justin Brownlee, he is now out of the hospital but didn't attend the team practice. Ginebra is also expecting him not in his 100% healthy condition in Game 6. Brownlee out of the hospital, but fitness a question mark ahead of Game 6It was really serious because he was hospitalized for that. However, as long as he is present on the court, even if he is not 100%, I think it's enough to inspire the team and win the game. The locals are always there to support, and Brownlee's job is just to limit RHJ since they cannot allow him to be as dominant as he was in Game 5. |

I tell you OP that before you invest in Bitcoin you make sure that you are really ready to face the volatility of its price. You will never have to think that after buying today you instantly make a profit by tomorrow or in the following days as there is no magic that works on it. If can decide to buy it now, then that is a good decision. You definitely can hear FUDs around and discouragement but have to remember that it may fall tomorrow, however, it will grow up back then. So, if you can beat those negative emotions, big rewards are not impossible in the upcoming bull season as we are going there.

I wonder, how many of you work in crypto full time, and how many use this as an additional source of income?
If you want to, you can share with us what you are doing in crypto. Is it trading, aidrops, writing articles, marketing, etc ?
All jobs you may take can be paid using cryptocurrency. Literally anything as it depends to the agreement between you and your employer. Say for example, me, my job I took here is participate to avatar and signature campaign. This is a part-time job for me though, not full. I know some developer peeps that works in blockchain environment, they are full time. However I don't know what is the payment method for their salary. Furthermore, I'm certain that there are lots of people nowadays that became full time into cryptocurrency trading. As long as you are earning more than what you get from day jobs then you may think about considering cryptocurrency as your full-time job. It totally depends on how we take crypto into our life and I know that the majority are here taking this as a side hustle as we are not been in the forum or even in trading for 24 hours. In fact, I'd just spend a few hours in here and do other stuff. It was not a problem anyways, what important is we have multiple sources of income which are really in need at this time. |

As per speculations, there's really no clarity whether Loma is already past his prime or not even if his age suggests that it's not yet over but judging from his previous fight, the one when he return from inactivity because of the war, he's not that kind of Loma anymore that we used to know. We surely don't know what happened but I hope he was just adjusting and what we saw in his recent fight wasn't his present form because if ever that was it, I'd say that Devin Haney will definitely win without a doubt.
I agree that he is still active and winning fights, yet we think he has already passed his prime. Well, let's give him a chance to prove that people are wrong. This is the fight where he is the underdog, and a win here will settle the discussion about whether he is still in his prime or not. It's because he is facing a young fighter in Devin Haney so we think that he is already passed him prime. And based on his last performance against another young talent in Ortiz, Loma seems to ave difficulty breaking him, as if Loma has lost his steps in boxing. But we can say that because that's only one fight. Maybe he is just off that night against Ortiz. But he still manage to win that fight. For sure he knows that he has been criticized on that performance and maybe will show better and send message that he is still one of the best and not out of his prime yet. But every boxer has a different style. He may have problems with one boxer but find it easy to beat another. We know Haney is a different boxer since Loma hasn't fought him before, so maybe Loma can devise a strategy that will work for Haney, and he'll win impressively here. |

Yeah if Paul George is coming back there would be a chance but according to media insiders he is unlikely to return for a game in the first round of the playoffs.
Even with home court advantage now I don't see the Clippers beating the Suns because Phoenix just has too many offensive weapons. There is only 1 Kawhi but 2 crazy shooters to defend with KD and Book. My prediction for this series is Suns in 6 but I would also be happy with an upset, not a fan of super team chasing Kevin Durant anymore.
It would be okay if he does not return in the first half, as based on what I'm seeing, the Clippers really have a decent chance of winning due to the great chemistry of Westbrook and Leonard. Sometimes, two superstars are better than having a big 3, as there are only two options on the team to carry the load. Game 3 is tomorrow, and we will see if the Clippers will be able to take advantage of their home court. Winning tomorrow will give them a good lead in the series, as the next game will also be on the same venue. |

I hope this does not happen, as much as Casimero is at fault for the situation he is in, at the same time it would be a shame if his talent was buried by the series of circumstances which surrounded him, he needs to win this fight and do so with authority, and then try to look for a fight for the title or at least he needs to become an official challenger, as the longer he takes to get a fight for the title the harder it would be for him to get that chance.
Let's trust him to get an impressive win in this fight. He knows what to do, and if he can beat opponents who are champions, then I guess Nghitumbwa is not going to be a problem for him. He is more than capable of scoring a knockout, and who knows, we might see him in a championship fight after this one. However, whatever happens next, what matters now is that he should not lose. One step at a time, and eventually, the right time will come. |

The 5x wager isn't really a scam per se. I don't agree with it 1 bit, but if people read the ToS they would know what they're getting themselves into. 5x isn't exactly hard to do either, especially if the site has dice, which they do.
Now the KYC and ToS being used as a weapon I can agree with. I think if a site allows you to deposit and you win, you should be paid as long as you didn't cheat to win. I don't consider gambling from an illegal jurisdiction cheating. I think a site should enforce KYC pre deposit or they forfeit the right to use it against a player later so they can get out of paying a player their winnings.
It might not be for scamming specifically, but it does have something to do with looting the money of their gamblers since it isn't really as easy as you describe it to complete a 5x wagering requirement with your balance intact and not losing a very large portion of it since we all know how gambling is with the house edge and all. If a casino has a 5x wagering requirement of the money deposited by a customer, they probably don't want their customers to at least get back what they've deposited, it's another thing if they are lucky enough to win something big with it, and then complete the requirement and withdraw the money that might remain after that, but that's not a very common thing in my opinion. It's very simple: if you don't like a casino for their unfavorable terms, then don't gamble on it. Scam casinos are different from those that don't have favorable terms for their gamblers. They are running a business and are ensuring they'll win using their advantage. With lots of casinos in the industry, I'm sure we can find one that will satisfy our demands as gamblers. |

For me, it's not ideal to make a trade over three positions because there's a possibility you can't manage to watch those price movements unless you execute all trades according to the plan like having a take profit and stop loss already to make sure you can manage to have multiple trades. Just wondering if this is futures trading or just long-term trading if the long term you can hold as much as you want and you are heading for over a month and year, in the future that's quite hard to handle to have more than three trades open. Always manage your risk.
Even if he does but can't be sure that it will work fine, some of them make a mess. In order to avoid this possible scenario, we better focus on a single trade or maybe two traders together still okay but more than 2, we can't really imagine having passive results. And even pro-traders and those who are in trading for several years never practiced this strategy as they know that it gives no benefits rather than just losses. |

One thing I have noticed is the step by step increase in Bitcoin prices from January to April. Bitcoin is nearing a bull market as the price of Bitcoin continues to rise as the day goes on. In February, Bitcoin price ranged from 20k to 22k and in March it reached 28k and stayed there for a long time. Bitcoin price has completed 30 in the month of April if we consider this history step by step Bitcoin price is rising every month. And by the end of 2023, the price of Bitcoin will increase twice as much as it is now. The reason for this is that we can learn from the past several months of 2023.
And one reason is that investors had already improved their understanding of the crypto market as they are now more knowledgeable than before. Their experience gives them an idea of when to invest and when to hold, and of course, they are certain of their purpose of coming here and that is to wait for the next bull season making them hold and so the price increases more. I could see this will double the price of Bitcoin when it talks about the new ATH but can't also deny the possibility that it surpasses the last 2021 ATH. |

It is a question of why? But OP doesn't make any comment and say something about the reason why choosing them, maybe he has a valid reason to believe that either of the two coins will give him decent rewards. Too bad to think about why choosing them because we know that there are better coins than these two and besides, we've never found a reason to put in such a huge amount of money when we can choose ETH or BTC and we can be sure that it will multiply when the market turn bullish, unlike how these XRP and ADA can do.

Tank shaming Garcia into accepting his offer to bet the purse on the fight is one of those things where I have to wonder if they are just doing it to try and get some more eyes on the fight. I don't think either would actually bet their entire purse on the outcome of the fight no matter how confident they are. I guess we'll have to wait and see if they sign the contracts, but I don't think any "bet" like this has ever actually played out. After seeing the clip though, I'm firmly on team Garcia. I hope he knocks out Tank and gets his purse. Seems like Tank needs to humbling.
They should do it! It will make the fight more exciting and it will be very similar to Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury where the winner takes everything, the loser only has bruises and hospital bills hehehe! We are on the date of April 19 already! Only 3 more days! I am very excited! I also wish the announcement for Crawford vs. Spence is not an April Fools joke! And they also went into the media tonight to promote the fight even more, Ryan Garcia with Oscar and then head trainer Goosen, and we also have Tank with Leonard Ellerbe. No announcement yet of the Crawford vs. Spence, I thought someone will spill the beans, but we will have to wait till the fight night itself. For the crowds, it's huge lots of reporters not just from the US but from other parts of the world too covering this big fight. This is definitely a big fight, and the winner will surely become more popular all over the world. This is the first big fight that has happened this year, so all attention is on them. I hope both boxers are already 100% ready for the fight. They cannot just focus on hyping the fight, but also need to ensure that they are fully prepared. And by the way, don't forget to place your bets already. |

^^ Yeah, same with the Grizzlies game, it was very close until Ja Morant went out and it changes the game for them. Of course, we will give credit to the Lakers for taking the game 1 at Memphis, Hachimura can't missed on the 3 point line.
And then what can we say? Reaves is quiet the first two quarters even missing a easy shot in the first quarter which he usually make. But in the 4th he takes over the game and the Lakers fan love him.
So there are two upsets tonight, Lakers over Memphis and then the Heat taking advantage of Giannis winning this one.
Yes, even if the Los Angeles Lakers had a much easier way in the fourth quarter because of Ja Morant's hand injury, we can't discredit Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura's presence in the court because they were a vital key and the main reasons why the Lakers owned the 1st game vs the Memphis Grizzlies. Well, AD and LeBron was good as expected but the key players was the highlight in this game. That makes 3 upsets, Lakers defeated Grizzlies, Heat defeating the Bucks, and there are the Clippers who defeated the Suns as well. And with that, it seems that the Memphis Grizzlies are not ruling out Ja Morant's playing in game 2. I wouldn't say that this is a must win for them, but they don't want to dig a deeper hole against Lebron and the Lakers going into their homecourt with a 2-0 lead against them. So if there is by chance then Morant will have to show up in this game. It seems that every playoff though he got injured himself and so we are not seeing the full potential of his Memphis Grizzlies although they are not complete because 2 of their players are sideline already. Even before the Lakers won game 1, I already thought that the Lakers are just too much for the young Memphis team. Now, they have proven that they are the better team, and with the situation of Morant, the Lakers could potentially have an edge. Even if Memphis wins game 2, and the Lakers win games 3 and 4, Memphis will still be in a big hole as only a few teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit. |

Those who will invest in crypto had never said they are late but those who keep blaming and doubtful about Bitcoin had no way in. The more we keep asking if we ate late or not, will simply mean that we really don't have the plan to do it. In this case, we better make ourselves clear that the crypto space is not for us. Don't get jealous if others have a great journey in crypto because they take the opportunity without doubt and without asking "if I was late or not" instead, they did what they think is right.

As for the Haney vs Loma fight, the odds hasn't move a bit, Loma is still a 3:1 underdog.
As expected, Loma is still the big underdog here. Everyone is likely rooting for Haney to get an easy win because he is the younger and stronger fighter, so there should be no problem winning. However, I love surprises, so I want Loma to shock Haney and prove to him that he hasn't fought a technically skilled fighter as good as him. Is 'shock' really the appropriate term? LOL. I think that word is used when one is not expected to win, and although Loma is quite the underdog here, he is capable of winning. Perhaps he will surprise the doubters, but the believers won't be shocked because they trust Loma to bring his A-game in the biggest fight of his career this year. |
