1781  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Newscrypto integrates VISA card payments for NWC token on: July 30, 2020, 08:27:54 PM
I've had only good experiences with NewsCrypto so far, but I have to say it's taking you guys forever to release some of the features you said are under development for your premium plans.

What's the ETA on the automatic arbitrage opportunity finder?

Right now the premium functionality just unlocks a bunch of tools NewsCrypto has aggregated from other places... When are we going to get something proprietary?

I know you're slightly cheaper than TradingView, but right now the NWC token price is going up and you're losing that edge...
1782  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 20-Year-Old Robinhood Customer Dies By Suicide After Seeing A $730,000 Negative on: July 30, 2020, 07:42:06 PM
Hopefully the suicide incident as happened to the 20 year old Robinhood customer will not happen again. Hopefully this tragedy can become
a lesson for all of us, especially newbies to first learn all the features on the websites where we trade. So there is no misunderstanding.
My advice for newbies is always to use money that we can afford to lose, not greed over us when trading. So even if we lose money, it won't
be stressful. And we are more ready to accept if we suffer losses.


I'm fairly sure it won't happen again. Once you're dead, there's no doing it twice.

I don't have any sympathy for cases like this. I mean, why kill yourself over a $730,000 debt? Most US college students are in over $100k debt, and plenty of people pay it off.

He could simply emigrate to a country with no extradition laws and start a new life, and yet he kills himself over this? Insanity.

He must have had a lot of other shit going on in his life at the same time or suffered from clinical issues, as this isn't normal behavior. Throw your life away over money? WTF.
1783  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The IRS Wants to Track & Trace Privacy Coins and the LN on: July 30, 2020, 07:07:27 PM
Good luck with that. They'd have to break some of the most effective privacy and obfuscation systems ever designed to do so. Can't imagine that the IRS has the capabilities to crack Ring CT signature or ZCash's zk-SNARKs. They can't even track offshore funds, how the fuck are they going to track anonymized transactions?

I think they're just scare mongering, hoping that they can scare some people out of using these privacy coins just in case theyhave some sort of magic deanonymization tool.
1784  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not fall for all DeFi HYPES on: July 30, 2020, 04:42:17 PM
Well, most DeFi platforms are actually experiencing meteoric growth at the moment—whether deservedly so or not.

So long as you don't believe that they'll be around in several months or years, and you just trade the trend you should be fine. I personally trade a bunch of DeFi coins like Orion Protocol (ORN), Stake, Aave etc, and don't have emotional affiliation to them.

Just trade with pure logic and no sentiment, and you can turn a profit. Stay away from anything with an anonymous team or no working product though.

1786  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Become Universal Money? on: July 30, 2020, 02:55:51 PM
You need to understand that there are extremely challenges to creating a universal money.

Though it is true that the vast majority of countries have a stable economy, there are also a large number of developing economies that suffer from rampant hyper inflation. Some of this is due to corruption, but also due to extremely poor fiscal policy in these countries.

How would these countries that don't even have their own economy under control be able to buy Bitcoin to even make it their country's national currency? It would take an extremely long time, and that's if all the Bitcoin isn't hoarded by the more economically developed countries.

I don't think Bitcoin will ever be a truly universal currency, but it can definitely get close.
1787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior [PPV on Nov. 28] on: July 29, 2020, 06:59:13 PM
I understand that Roy Jones Jr is one of the greatest of all time, but Mike Tyson is just an absolute beast. But since it's an exhibition bout, I'm pretty sure they are not going to be going for knockouts. If this is true, then Roy Jones Jr is going to win on points—he's definitely the more technically gifted boxer of the two. I think Mike Tyson's best bet is to come out all gun's blazing and try to knock him out cold. I also don't think it should be an exhibition bout... I mean, why?

They're both around the same age and will be fighting at the same weight. They're roughly the same size though Roy Jones Jr usually fights lighter. He's also much more active too. I think it's going to be a tough night for Mike Tyson if he refuses to go in for a knockout.
1788  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do hackers steal huge amounts of bitcoins? on: July 29, 2020, 02:00:59 PM
I was reading about Cashaa, that was hacked and 336BTC were stolen. But the hacker can't move them right? He will leave footprints. So why should hackers steal them since they can be found? For example if they want to convert them to fiat.

The only way I think you could get by from this felony is to keep them on very long term. So long that it may be forgotten. But still, it may.

I don't think they would ever be able to hold it for long that it would just be simply forgotten. Usually these hacks affect a large number of people, and many of these will check regularly to see if the funds have been moved. Even if the number of people checking does dwindle over time, there will still be the odd guy that checks every year or so, just in case (someone just like me).

I was scammed for 14 BTC back in 2016 and the guy still hasn't moved the coins. I still check the address on etherscan every few months, just in case.

Also, it's not that hard to cash out illegally obtained Bitcoin's, there's a few wallets like Wasabi and Samourai that feature built-in fungibility and mixing tools. Though these might be breakable if somebody has enough data about the participants involved in a mixing session.
1789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Space Race Wagers? on: July 29, 2020, 12:13:13 PM
I'd rather place a bet on who'd be first to commercialize space flight.

There seems to be a few players in this race, like Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Elon Musk's SpaceX. Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic is another well-established player.

I want to see which of these will be the first to open a space hotel or being mining asteroids too.

My money is on SpaceX for now, but Blue Origin is probably a sleeping beast.
1790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What bitcoin adoption really is. on: July 29, 2020, 11:40:05 AM
I think adoption can also be improved by reducing resistance from governments, corporations, and banks.

It seems that every couple of months or so, we get news that a government of some country is looking to crack down on the industry in some way. There's also regularly releases from banks stating specifically that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are HIGHLY risky investment options but not money etc.

You even get paid campaigns from hedge funds shitting on cryptocurrencies—probably so they can manipulate the market while it's still young and net a ridiculous profit.

We need to work on breaking down these barriers, since we always seem to hit against one right when the market is on a big rally.
1791  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitfinex hacks BTC are on the moved on: July 29, 2020, 10:33:49 AM
So glad that we have a platform like this to automatically track these scammers.

Saves people having to check every day whether or not their stolen funds have been moved by the perp.

However, some of these larger movements tend to be taken out of context by noobs, who seemingly thing that a large Bitcoin movements almost certainly equals a dump, whereas a large stablecoin movements equals a pump.
1792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Technical analysis won't help you find the next 100x on: July 24, 2020, 01:54:14 PM
TA may be good for finding entry and exit points for established coins, but not for finding which ones are going to moon next. For that you should be looking at macro indicators to get ahead of the news. But y'all aren't ready to have that conversation.

It's true.

Technical analysis can be useful for measuring the direction of the market over longer scales, but it wont help when something has just burst onto the scene and is going bonkers.

I think far too many spend their on working on their TA, when they should actually be spending that time scouting for hidden gems that haven't hit exchanges yet, and are about to pop when they do.

Fundamental analysis is the way forward, combine this with industry contacts, and you've got a recipe for grabbing all the best tokens before anyone else even knows they exist.
1793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots 102: The Provably Fair Slots (with poll) on: July 24, 2020, 12:13:32 PM
Is there any reasons crypto.games isn't on this list? It also offers slots with a provably fair checking tool:

Currently supports over a dozen cryptocurrencies.

I think you need to read the OP once again, or at least check the pool as it is already listed there on both the pool and the opening post. mu_enrico even provided the screenshot of the slot game of crypto.games like what you have just shown, did you miss it when you read the opening post? Or did you miss it because mu_enrico type it "crypto-games" instead of "crypto.games"?

Ah, looks like you're right.

I simply did CTRL + F "crypto.games" and it didn't come up.

Looks like the thread is more comprehensive than it first appeared  Wink
1794  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ARE ICOS STILL LEGIT? on: July 24, 2020, 11:26:23 AM
ICOs are the old way of doing things, IEOs were the next generation, the current generation is the DYCO's offered through DAOMaker.

These are basically ICOs that have a guaranteed refund rate if you ever want to cash out.

Projects don't get access to all of the money at once, hence they can't just sit around and twiddle their thumbs. If they fail to deliver on their promises, then customers can pull the money back and screw them once and for all.

Take a look at Orion Network, this was the result of the first DYCO. You'll see for yourself how it went.
1795  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is crypto.com investment legit and safe? on: July 24, 2020, 10:51:38 AM
Safe is a strong word.

Let's start with reasonably safe instead.

In investment, there is always risk and reward. For most financial instruments, the risk is usually limited since the companies that offer them are frequently bound by certain rules and regulations that govern how they need to act and the precauations they need to put in place to protect user funds.

Most crypto companies are not bound by these rules, so they're really just operating based on reputation rather than culpability.

I don't believe crypto.com is a scam or anything, but it's certainly not bulletproof. Don't go investing your life savings on it.
1796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Taxes on Bitcoins: Unreasonable or essential? on: July 24, 2020, 10:16:59 AM
Well, most countries don't actually tax cryptocurrencies until they have been disposed of. This essentially means once they have been spent, sent, used or otherwise exercised.

Only a handful of countries will tax cryptocurrencies that havent been disposed of, this is because it actually opens them up to some severe downsides.

For example, if somebody buys a lot of cryptocurrencies and then loses most of their money, they could then claim a tax rebate in many countries. And since there are more losers than winners in trading, it would probably be net negative for them to tax undisposed digital assets.

Pretty sure America is the only country that does this, that's because it's a third world country masquerading as a first world one, and needs all the money it can to keep up this image.

Please email may.liu@blocktopian.com with title “CM + your name”, please attach of your CV.

Any reason why you haven't listed the salary/pay grade these CMs can expect?

You've got a long list of your requirements and what you want, but don't even have the decency to at least state what the CMs can expect in return?

I personally find it infuriating when potential employers/recruiters do this, and I can only imagine that the highest quality candidates wouldn't apply for such a position. I certainly wouldn't.
1798  Economy / Services / Re: EXPERIENCED CRYPTO WRITER on: July 23, 2020, 06:05:00 PM
Has anybody from Bitcointalk hired you yet? And do you have any vouches from Bitcointalk users?
1799  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which are your top 5 coins for HODL? on: July 23, 2020, 11:28:30 AM
What are some of your favorite long term HODL coins?

I particularly have these in my portfolio for HODL:
Bitcoin
Ethereum
Cardano
Tron
Still trying to figure out the fifth one to hold for a long term good return.

Your favorite coins with a bright forseeable future?

Basic, very basic.

These are all massive cap cryptocurrencies, realistically even in 3-5 years they might only experience a 2-10x improvement at the very best.

If you really want to rack up the money, you should invest in a micro-cap coin that has the potential to climb into the top 100 or even top 50.

You can see a few DeFi coins have managed to achieve this lately, odds are a few more will also make it.

These can make 10x improvement in a much shorter time, which could then use to build your long-term stack in BTC, ETH etc.

59 votes in the poll so far

48 vote for Fury
10 votes for Wilder
1 vote for a Draw


Forum members have been voting, please keep the votes coming in

No point in voting for this fight, as the dates are not finalized. A few months back, Bob Arum hinted that this fight may not happen in 2020. Also, I heard that there are disagreements regarding the purse. For the third fight, as per the contract the purse needs to be split 60-40 in favor of Fury, but Wilder is rumored to be unhappy about it.

In case the fight happens, then I hope that they will be able to take the PPV revenue to the $100 million mark. Revenues from the second fight (in 2019) was not very high. I heard that there were 800,000 PPV buys within the United States, at $79.99 apiece.

I said this to JollyGood weeks ago, this thread should be closed IMO, it's useless.

You already have a resounding result which shows Fury is favored by the majority, you don't need to get to 100 votes to tally the percentages—just scale up the numbers.

This thread should be closed until the fight is announced, or at least the title should b changed because its misleading.
