1821  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how to invest safely in cryptocurrency? on: September 24, 2019, 06:24:22 AM
One of the #1 rule i think is never buy because of others

I mean you can seek for advice or suggestions, but please
Kindly research before you buy in
I've seen people buying into something they have 0 idea what it is
It is devastated because if they actually make loss, they don't know the reason why they make loss
Sad thing for someone who will start from the scratch and lean alone with suggestions and tips from others. Investment in any form needs to  comply with knowledge about everything, you need to be proficient finding factors and doing your own research to make sure your ideas to fulfill.

Invest with full understanding before you jumped in, it will be more chances of success and survival staying inside this business.

Even if a coin is great, a shitty exchange can ruin everything. The problem is that the most team members are greedy and do not want to invest a lot of money into quality listing. Thats why a lot of coins are just dying on bad exchanges.
Sad to see that but it's true. There are developers out there who are not concern about the future of their projects and just happy enough to see that listing has already been done. Whatever the results it might be, it's no longer important for them as long as they have the funds that they wanted to collect.

Without efforts with pushing being listed to a much bigger exchange, it will not excel and die after.
1823  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Almost all the altcoins in red again! on: September 23, 2019, 04:19:32 PM
altcoins are still yet to see any reasonable gain since the beginning of this year. Would there be an altcoin season this year at all? I am just curious as most of them have turned to worth nothing.
We have to wait a little longer to see Altcoin in the green chart, believe this red chart will end soon and Altcoin prices will recover. I will continue to hold my coin even though my assets have dropped up to more than 50%. I think everyone also still holding their coins waiting for good news from Altcoin.
Those who understand the situation and have such loses like that will proceed holding their assets, knowing that the chance to survive and
recover from the bounce out from the market will always be there. In crypto industry, you need to be optimistic and
positive with how you will approach your investment.

The situation will change up, there's expected cycle to happen along the way if you continue believing.

But what if someone is promoting a gambling site on social media etc, will the money earned from it be legal provided he will never directly gamble ?

The meat that you won't eat, you are not expected to use your mouth to cut it because if you do, it almost like you have tasted it and tasting food is also like haven eaten it  Grin
So religiously, it will be expected that what you are asked not to do, you don't encourage others to do it, you rather admonish them against it.

You got me thinking a bit, but your explanation is very cool, its like you are throwing some biblical verse that could touch someones heart.
Of course, I agree with you, anything related to gambling is bad, either directly or indirectly, you should stay away from it if you are loyal with your faith in your God.
Religiously thinking, your point is being recognized as it's part of your beliefs and anything that will be related with such activities will be incorporated
with your act. All people have different views, there are factors and influences that covers everyone's mindset regarding to this matter.

The community you belong has the greater part of your decision-making from any stand that you will be taking about this concern.
1825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: September 23, 2019, 03:06:10 PM
Guys, I got some news about KD.

Kevin Durant Could Potentially Make Return From Achilles Injury This Season

What do you all think? Can we expect the same Durant this coming season?

The majority knows that he will be out of the whole season so it doesn't really matter or surprising if he will play or not this season. If the doctor cleared him to play, then up to him if he will play or make the whole season his resting period.

We as a normal NBA fan can't just say he should just rest or don't force to play.

He is expected to be cleared after All-Star break. If he feels well, then why not. He is the one risking his career if he will just play while not fully recovered so I know he knows what he doing.
Career wise and for future good health condition, it's better to stay at bench and rest, it could bring more good investment for the entire franchise. Though it's not bad if he will be cleared and be allowed to play, it's still his option whether to take chances or to keep resting for the best outcome for longer healthy condition.

KD is one of those faces of this league, and without him, this season will be not an interesting one for the fans who loves him playing.

After researching the news sources, I decided to pledge my land and houses worth $ 40000. I use it to buy 4 Bitcoin
I will rent a small apartment with my family
I'm happy now
I believe that the BTC will increase to $ 20k next year.
I appreciate your actions because not everyone dares to make decisions like that. Bitcoin value growth nobody knows exactly. But the possibilities are endless. It could also go down to $ 4,000. If that happens, I hope you will continue to HODL. Wink
The volatile market is tough to predict if you take this actions its needs  being supported by long patience and trust to this industry, by trusting your investment only means that you have a good anticipations and you are more than willing to take the risk to follow the market. Though there's no clear
assurance that the value will bounced back and provided decent profits.



Keep in mind that sideways is the hindrances to fulfill your dream success, overcoming everything and extending your patience is a must.
1827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most of gamblers are rich or poor? on: September 22, 2019, 09:32:14 AM
Yes gambling is very risky and you’re right that only gamble a money you afford to lose because in gambling there are chances of losing than winnings but think about it you can’t win when you are always emotional that when are already lose you are about to cry and give up then don’t enter gambling if you are like that because you can’t get back your loses. In order to win you need to become brave and wiser.

Being brave doesn't mean anything in gambling. The same as being poor and being rich.

You lose, you win it depends on luck that you have.

Another thing is that in the real world? There is no one crying about their losses, gamblers know what they are doing but the thing is that they can't stop themselves from betting since they are always hoping they could win.
Much better to say is being a risky type of  person, if you have that quality even you are rich or poor chances are both the same. You need to have some luck to win with your gambling activities without it most probably you will lose your money and ended up being busted.


The logic of not having any luck contribute since even what state in life you are into it will not change a thing. It's luck that will control the outcome.
1828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 on: September 22, 2019, 02:34:09 AM
I don't actually like this fight coming into reality although I have to admit that this is still being pushed by certain people. I don't expect Mayweather fights to be entertaining anymore. Manny Pacquiao, on the one hand, is getting old also. He is not anymore the fighter that looks for blood in his matches. But this fight is still getting hype from all over even if it is clearly only for the sake of money. Bob Arum has released a remark once again hinting the suggestion for this fight to happen.  
More on testing the water if the fans are still going to push and hype this fight to happen. There's still news and some social media talks about making this into reality. If Bob Arum will take it seriously and begin to mediate, chances that both fighters will sit and talk about their positions and what would be
the best for both camps in order to settle.

Though without the interest from the supporters' side, this will not happen knowing that Mayweather always after for the big cash.
1829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: September 22, 2019, 02:05:46 AM
Everyone is now recommending him and as fans, we are on his side. And now, there's another legend that's confident of a team picking up Melo.

Walt Frazier on ‘Melo: ‘I’m confident that somebody will give him a chance’

Lots of recommendations and call from the NBA superstars but still there are no teams that showing signs that they want Melo even at 1%.

It just shows that even Melo can still play 100% and willing to change just to get back in NBA, maybe teams still remember his attitude, behavior and being arrogant in his whole playing career.

Just 1 more season. Want to see the changes in Melo after he realized what's wrong.
It's interesting to see how he will truly adjust with how he act previously just to have the chance of being signed by any interested teams, that is if there's someone out there who will take the risk. Melo's adjustment from a superstar caliber attitude to a backup player who will do his best just to stay with the opportunities to play back again.

One more chance, same with anyone who's still believing that he still have that guts to show his skills helping the team that will entrust him with the contract.
1830  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 99% of all projects is worthless and not worth a cent. What do you think? on: September 21, 2019, 10:58:59 PM
We have meaningless and useless projects in this space and that keep coming to the market, the 99% statistical figure you just gave can't be true, we have some really good projects, they are few though. . 

The statistics is true or rather close to it. What is 99% or rather 1% of 2,880 coins/tokens? 29 coins. I personally believe it is much closer to 93% that are meaningless and useless crypto projects. Anyway it is obvious that only one of your 10 coin picks might make it out alive.
That's the chance of survival rate as we  can see that more and more projects are dying and become worthless since there's no real usage to offer. More developers are now enjoying the situations not being blamed even there's no plan to work things out to survive with these current market movements.

It's hard to assume the actual percentage but it's not far from that range. Most of the projects that don't have any real product that is useful will die eventually.
1831  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto Bulls Celebrate Too Early? on: September 20, 2019, 01:40:29 PM
The cryptocurrency market was overwhelmed with positivity throughout the past couple of days as all of the major coins were trading in the green. A lot of them scored double-digit gains, causing many to believe that we might have entered a new altcoin season. However, this notion was quickly dismissed as today the entire market is bleeding red. Bitcoin plunged around $600 in a massive red candle, bringing all other altcoins with it.



Full Article


I was really surprised, the first thing that I do after waking up in the morning is to open my pc and check the price but last week plunged kills the momentum, this is not the first time it happens, and I'm pretty sure it will happen again, might as well expect this until the end of the year.
If the situation continues, the rising and falling of price then we should stop expecting another all-time high this year, and just save all our hopes next year.
The fluctuation affects the investors' decisions whether to hold or go with the flow and make some small profits with the ups and downs coming from the market. Each time the market experienced good run, the next thing to follow is having some correction and move the value back. If you have enough understanding of the current flow, you will soon be catching the right timing to position yourself and take every opportunities to earn.

Then Curry came. Trained hard even with his bad shooting position. He just needs that space and because of the new rule taking out the hand check, he managed to make it happen.
Now, it is like a mandatory for a player to shoot threes.

I guess Lebron is not already in his prime anymore and the NBA has changed into different style of play, teams who usually win in this game are good 3 point shooting with great 3 point shooting players. The warriors would still be unbeatable if they have Durant and Thompson healthy in the last Finals, both with curry can shoot a great percentage from the 3 point line while Lebron is not so consistent in his field goal shooting.
LeBron is not in shape last season. We've seen that from how he played, and I'm not sure if that's because of the teammates that he have or he's really aging. Though showing those videos from how he's  working out right now, it seems that he's in perfect shape and ready to compete again.

Speaking of changes, 3-point shooters are a big part now of this league. Even the big men need to have this capabilities, and I've seen how AD is working with his outside shots.
1833  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bakkt is coming: will this be biggest crypto week ever and set off bull run? on: September 19, 2019, 11:10:00 AM
Bakkt!? Do you think they should be trusted?
They are making a change to the entire bitcoin network through the service offered. From the information gathered about Bakkt I believe there is more chances for people have more trust upon bitcoin. Bakkt is going to serve as the trusted platform to serve the common people who have been hesitant to invest on bitcoin considering its volatility.
They will serve as a good channel between common people and those who already have a good knowledge with this industry. If they will perform very well and attract more people to trust this chain, many investors will be guided on how Bitcoin works and how it will be consumed properly, not only as an asset for investment but also serve as a real currency that can be used when doing payment transactions.

We will know what can be the effects of this after being launched. After that, we will be able to have our own assessment concluding whether it's served its purpose, helping crypto to be accepted and adopted.
1834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Pishing Scam Goes Wrong on: September 19, 2019, 09:57:48 AM
It just shows you how clever these Chinese scammers are, because they relocated to another country to scam their own people. <The article stipulated that they "conned more than 1000 Chinese investors."  Roll Eyes

Luckily for those investors the Chinese government reacted quickly and they will be deported to their country, as their international passports have been canceled by the Chinese government.  Grin  

We see a lot of Bitcoin scammers relocating to sovereign islands to execute their scams, in the hope that they would not be extradited to their country of origin and also for the tax breaks.  Tongue

I think the Phillippines needs more firm and stricter laws that will serve harsher punishments to those who've committed these kinds

of cyber frauds in order to discouraged potential actors. If this will not be implemented asap, chances are more of these fraudulent

activities would operate under the Philippines crypto friendly policy and that would be detrimental to the crypto-industry in general.
Which should be taking notes by the government all over the world especially those who are willing to adopt crypto currency. This news that spread bad image for crypto for being another venue for scamming people, not only those who are not well aware with this kind of investment currencies. Having a much stronger ruling for such Cyber case will warn those people who took overseas like Chinese to travel and do the same act.
1835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: September 19, 2019, 09:25:22 AM

It's just that the current starting line up of the Raptors are all defensive players, and Lin lacks defense that's why he was not give a decent minutes.
But yeah,,, let's move on, both are not in the NBA now, let's discuss on players that are still in the league especially the new one which we think has potential to be a star.

Actually I am looking at players which had been not signed up in NBA and are now playing in different leagues.
Two of the know NBA players now are Jeremy Lin and Lance Stephenson.
Others are Brandon Bass and Ty Lawson et al.

I guess they are really trying to pull more NBA players for tickets to sell and also if there is a pay per view.
They are paid quite well and this guys needs a job that would pay for their necessities.
Unlike the NBA you will just get 5 to 6 digits for being a bench player while in China there is a chance to be a star and be paid better in the long run.
That's the point. For the love of this game, aside from being paid with your regular salary, you also wanted to still being known as a good player and be an inspiring individual who will continue playing this game even not in the main league where everyone was dreaming, but instead being benched for the rest of your time choosing to play outside will be a good option for anyone who wanted to showcase their talents. Lets face it, the league have a big competition around, so instead of trying harder, best to choose for another option.
1836  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alt coins bleeding on: September 19, 2019, 09:04:09 AM
Good time to buy? it's hard to perceive whether it's the lowest price or it could go lower. It was a good time for me to buy NPXS it dropped really low I bought plenty and then it went even lower and even now never came back to the price I've bought. I'm hodling!
You must be sure to take risks!
The question is, why you buy NPXS? Cause there are a lot of coins we could buy in cheap price or even choose Bitcoin but you are actually choosing that low-value coin which it definitely will soon to die. You know the market already but you are trying to have some luck(bad) with this coin which it turns you out in big losses than to expect of gaining.

But it is not the end of crypto yet... if we could see altcoins movement by now, we can see that there is still hopes but we only need to extend our patient cause that is what we can do at this time.
It's a matter of how good you will dwell with patience and how you will take the risk without fearing what fate brings you after investing your money. There's always another side of the road, the ups and downs is really annoying. But for those who are aiming to succeed from this industry, finding the right timing would bring good to your invested money.

The bleeding of this known coins can be taken as an option for your investment. You have to go and do your research then assess which is the best option for you.
1837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New projects plan from the very start on: September 18, 2019, 02:12:02 PM
Judging from the post, the author most likely made a bad investment.Let's say I'm more optimistic about the IEO.Before investing, we all have the opportunity to study the project in detail, to communicate in a group with other investors.What's the problem?
Most of the time that can be the case as investors failed to do much deeper research. And after being victimized by scammed projects, they will begin to bad-mouth the project. There's nothing more we can do aside from learning from our mistake. We should know more about about the project before investing our money to avoid making mistakes from this venue of investment.

In the otherside, it's also an acceptable reality as the last point of what OP has said, scammers are very good in planning the path to ensure that it will runaway clean after listing the project inside unknown exchange and being completely dumped.

I believe that after the bad result for the US team and the worst placement ever in World Cups the American basketball federation is going to put some pressure in order to equip the team with the most skilled players.
It feels like the gold medal will be the only way for them now.

It's good to bet on them in the next international game, I think it's going to be olympics next and with great players like Curry and Lebron playing, I will be very confident that they will dominate and will again bring home the gold medal.

USA basketball team is the best team in the world, they've proven it many times, they just give other nation's a chance in this FIBA tournament and good thing they were able to take advantage a weaker line up of the US team.
It will be a different scene when it comes to Olympics. This previous lineups from the world cup might not have enough calibers to compete with the world's best selections coming from each of those represented national teams from different countries that's been qualified to play in this tournament. After seeing the worst results, the associations itself will adjust and form the next dream team to represent the national selections for team US.

Expect to see more NBA superstars to freely show their willingness to represent the team and avenge the embarrassment that they've got from this last FIBA word cup.

https://www.talkbasket.net/52933-steve-nash-on-carmelo-anthony-hes-still-got-something-to-offer

Means that there's still no offer from any team if there will be, I'm sure that everyone would be rushing to post the source here. Looks like Steve Nash is helping Melo to take a contract, crossing fingers for Melo.
Just one of the many veterans saying Melo should be signed. He does have something to offer and I think various teams are interested on really signing him. Maybe it is the kind contract that both parties could not agree with. If Melo could agree to a minimum, I bet teams would rush to get him.
It's a two way channel that needs to workout with this signing issue for Melo I agree that if he's not asking for something and willing to adjust with minimum there's still interested team who can sign him up, but if there's problem with salary it's difficult to find team that's willing to give him a contract.

Melo's still unclear having a chance to play this season, though there's still time for him, crossing fingers.
