1601  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John McAfee is dead, are his coins lost? on: June 25, 2021, 07:29:44 AM
The last info that we have regarding his riches is that it was seized or that it was gone due to some bad investments. I’m sure he still have some crypto in his stash, but even if the law enforcement finds it, they would not be able to access it at all. Perhaps consider it lost in the void just like any other stashes out there that have been lost due to forgotten passwords or drive failure.
This is probably the likely thing to happen to his coins, and if this was really the case, then he did a great service to bitcoin market as a whole because he contributed to the permanent increase of price in bitcoin.
1602  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two brothers have disappeared with $3.6 billion worth of Bitcoin on: June 25, 2021, 06:05:07 AM
It is a pity that on the one hand this kind of news gives cryptocurrencies a bad name and on the other hand how some poor people have been scammed. What we should take away from this is the "not your keys...".
This is a premeditated plan of exit scam, they want people to have second thoughts about how it's coincidental that they disappear while having their exchange getting scammed recently. This is the problem for many people, they don't seem to understand the idea of "not your keys, not your coins" and they trust wholeheartedly their money in exchanges that aren't even remotely reputable or big.

You are right. I mean, they came a long way and look at their developments, they're behind the US compared to other countries.

One thing for sure, their spending power is tremendous too. That's how they gain influence over other countries by pouring in development funds.
To be honest with you, I disagree with that even though I despise Chinese government so much. They have more mega cities than any other countries in the world and they are the biggest customer for many companies outside China also, I don't think that their power extends more than spending because they are getting stronger in terms of influence with their Belt Road Initiative.
1604  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paraguay to propose Bill that would make Bitcoin Legal Tender on: June 24, 2021, 11:47:45 AM
Paraguay's Congressman Carlitos Rejala has announced that he will propose a bill that would allow Paraguay to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. He is working with local actors to make Paraguay a hub for investments in cryptocurrencies. The bill is expected to be presented in July. Paraguay could become a haven for Bitcoin miners.
It's pretty good that they are considering making it a legal tender after El Salvador announced their plans, I am pretty hopeful that more South American countries are going to follow suit when Paraguay finalizes these proposal of making bitcoin a legal tender, don't mistake it for currency though.
1605  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some words of encouragement during this market crash on: June 24, 2021, 08:23:13 AM
This "crash" that you are talking about isn't that drastic as the crash back in 2018 so I don't think that we will be needing those encouragement right now, we are just so privileged right now that a dump like this is making us crazy.
1606  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Whale hoards bitcoin, will the market run out of BTC to buy? on: June 24, 2021, 07:44:07 AM
If they are the only one who hoards then the market won't move which means that they won't be able to make some profit, it's not of their best interest to hoard because they rely on manipulation and hoarding is going to be difficult for them.
1607  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I feel uncomfortable if I don’t buy on: June 24, 2021, 07:13:57 AM
Don't worry about it because you already have bitcoin that you are hodling so I think that you worrying yourself to death won't do you any good. Maybe the reason that you didn't have any money now is because you will have one when the real dump in prices happen.
1608  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do Not Sell! Don't Let The Whales Get Your Precious BTC! on: June 24, 2021, 06:41:01 AM
Probably if you are sure that the prices are going to go much lower than that, I think selling and then buying back when the prices go much lower is going to be a good thing, hodling alone won't help you unless you have other ways to make money.
1609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: TWO months HALF time; BTC went from 53K to 26K (euro) on: June 23, 2021, 12:50:05 PM
Instead of discussing the benefits of Bitcoin all day long, how about finding a professional analyst to help you solve it? If you don’t know how to buy, you can send me a private message

Nice segue into your services, you might want to stop doing that as it is highly likely that mods will see your post and delete it.

Regarding the prices going down, the prices has recovered back the 33k again which is pretty awesome but at the same time, I think that bitcoin will be going much lower in the next few days.
1610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is China a fool? on: June 23, 2021, 07:42:12 AM
Imagine a CEO (Melon Musk) could shake the prices single-handedly, China be like, "hold my tea" Grin
I don't think that China will have that balls if they don't have a nuclear power or the military might that they are arrogantly showing off to the world.
1611  Economy / Speculation / Re: WHO THE FUCK IS SELLING!? on: June 23, 2021, 06:02:59 AM
Bitcoin is up 265% in the last year, 450% in the last 3 years, 1150% in the last 6 years, etc...
And not to mention that some people have earned through signature campaigns and just hodl it, so basically even if they sell now, they're still getting free money no matter what.
1612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Many great things are banned, censored or restricted in China. If China wants to on: June 23, 2021, 05:10:11 AM
Well that explains why the Chinese are still sane while the rest of the planet has gone mad.
If you mean by sane being chained and always under surveillance by the government and no degree of freedom whatsoever then call me mad because no person is going to live in that situation without being brainwashed by propaganda. Also, some of their bans are just overreactions and they don't want to look like a clown on world stage so they do this.
1613  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is moving mining out of China a bad thing? on: June 23, 2021, 03:02:03 AM
It does increase the scarcity but it doesn't have that much impact. Also moving their mining out of the country is going to be an expensive thing to do because some of them will probably bring their equipments overseas. Plus the reason for the negative sentiment is to sow panic among the market to manipulate the prices.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: June 23, 2021, 02:28:53 AM
We did not see Manny Pacquiao fight for the past two years and he is not getting younger and these delay is due to the pandemic and not because he was injured or retired but the problem is that with age your reflexes goes down and that is a fact. We can very well understand this once the fight starts and in the first three rounds we will know whether we are seeing the old Manny Pacquiao.
You said it yourself, everyone gets caught by time when it comes to you, so I don't think that we will be seeing Manny Pacquiao as his old fierce and vicious self, remember that there will be glory days and it won't last forever.
1615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does on-line compete with the VIP experience on: June 23, 2021, 01:33:10 AM
I don't use VIP when gambling in online back when I was doing a lot of gambling because it's pretty expensive to become one and I don't really want to spend too much on online gambling because as you have said, offline or physical gambling takes care of their high roller clients the most.
1616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 World’s Strongest Man on: June 22, 2021, 03:47:15 PM
That's it guys, it's a wrap! What a year. Tough competition and an emotional roller coaster. This sport is becoming huge with every tournament so it's just a matter of time when crypto gambling sites start getting in on it. As always, we are here to push it by talking about it. Here are the final results.

1   T. Stoltman    GBR   45.5
2   B. Shaw            USA   42.5
3   M. Boudreault    CAN   36.5
4   T. Mitchell            USA   35
5   J. Caron            CAN   34
6   K. Janashia    GEO   32.5
7   L. Stoltman    GBR   32
8   A. Bishop            GBR   27
9   B. Thompson    USA   23.5
10   E. Ingólfsson Melsted    ISL   20.5
Didn't expect that the American and British Strongmen are the ones that's going to dominate the leaderboard, I have been expecting the Russian and Scandinavian to be the ones that will push through the finals, seems that I was proven wrong.

If there isn't a lot of things at stake in a tournament like this charity tournament, it's not necessary to show all the cards up your sleeve, remember that you want to show your best when it matters the most, there are ways to make the game interesting without the worry of showing all you got.
You got a point but you don't really want your fans to be seeing that you aren't playing at your best, remember that a lot of people have a really good eye in performance so you have to balance between entertainment and performance.
1618  Other / Off-topic / Re: Slapping Tournament on: June 22, 2021, 02:28:09 PM
I really think this competition needs a change in the rules, the fact that you cannot avoid the hit at all makes it really problematic, even in the sport of boxing people need to wear gloves which not only protect the hands but slow down the punch and also reduce the punching power as well, and when we add that fighters can protect themselves and avoid incoming hits then you are not going to be hit as hard, while in this competition nothing like that exists and I do not even see weight divisions at all.
That defeats the purpose of slapping tournament if you can evade the strike and your opponent can't, what kind of gas you're huffing? Also the gloves in boxing doesn't protect the fighters, remember that those gloves have a weight and they are pretty devastating item in the right hands, the only protection that someone needs in a fight like this is a mouth guard.
1619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Esports Prediction & Discussion Thread on: June 22, 2021, 01:18:58 PM
I agree if anything this is kind of a showmatch or glorified scrims for the teams involved since all of them will still get a piece of the reward and pick their chosen charities just like last year.
I think that even if it is a charity match, they still have to show everything that they've got because people are expecting that they will be able to make a good show for the audience.
1620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vegas Casinos to allow Cannabis Lounges. on: June 22, 2021, 11:35:27 AM
Do they do this kind of stuff? well, it will cause some serious problems because people will not in their right mind when they playing the games. Seriously guys, I never thought things like this would ever happen because it will create a lot of risks especially to those people who don't even know the taste of it let alone socializing with the one who abused it and sitting next to them. It will be like in the clubs where people are high and drunk but still talking until the morning comes.
You're not just that used to people smoking pot around you, that's why you think this way, don't worry because I am pretty sure that they can still probably function even though they are high or smoking pot. Plus, these is a good way to make marijuana a legal stuff which can help the economy get more money because weed is a big industry.
