This is one of those weird trolling messages that people talk about, hmm interesting. I have heard of them before but I never really saw one before today. Honestly, I have been around internter for over 20 years now so it feels like I have seen so much more than this that quality of this looks to be lacking a bit.

I don't mean any harm, sure there was some work put into it and kudos, not a bad trolling message, could probably pass with like 6/10 if people didn't know it was a troll, but looks too much like a troll so it gets like a 3/10 or maybe 4/10 at best this way. What I would suggest is to make it a bit more realistic, remove the grater part and maybe you can have yourself a decent one, that way you can actually look a bit more realistic than this. Grater really kills it honestly.
1862  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Long term investment vs. Swing trading vs. Daily trading on: April 04, 2020, 10:55:05 AM
I am more into Long term investment (HODL) and when I invest in Bitcoin I don't put a specific time when I'm going to be selling the coins, I just hold them till the price goes up and I start making profit. Just like in 2017, I didn't invest earlier; my investment was around ending of the Q2, but the price still went up very high around December and I had no other choice than to sell those coins and withdraw my money since the price is up.

Imagine that I decided to leave the money for up to two years or three years, I would have missed that opportunity. Maybe that's a swing trade as you called it, but my intention was to hold for a long time, but whereas the opportunity came out, I had to take it.
1863  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are comfortable investing in government controlled investments on: April 03, 2020, 03:37:03 PM
The government will not do anything to support Bitcoin because they have nothing to do with it, they don't control Bitcoin and nobody controls Bitcoin, it's a decentralized currency. If it was centralized and controlled by a particular government, I guess they might be doing something about.

But, you have to know that Bitcoin doesn't need any support from the government. Right from the beginning it has always been the community that are supporting Bitcoin and not the government, the community built Bitcoin and brought it up to the level it is now, and not the government and I still believe that the government will keep pushing it.
1864  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: The Social Phenomenon on: April 03, 2020, 09:18:30 AM
Yep, what people loves about Bitcoin is the freedom it gives. If there is no freedom in making use of Bitcoin most of the people here might not be interested in it. Imagine that Bitcoin is an asset that can be controlled by the government at anytime , there wouldn't be any need for it.

But, the fact that it cannot be controlled by anyone except the level of demand and supply gives a lot of people hope in it. And sure I know that there are lots of people who are against Bitcoin, so many people hate it and they would do anything to stop it, unfortunately for them Bitcoin is a decentralized currency and there is no control unit that you can simply shut down to affect everything, impossible! This is also part of the reason why the government cannot stop Decentralized exchanges. If they ban Bitcoin, anyone that wants to make use of it will still find a way to do so.
1865  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the government understand? on: April 03, 2020, 07:49:44 AM
We will survive this, corona is deadly but lets not act like it will kill everyone in the whole world. It is one of the worst virus outbreaks in the recent memory, only worse ones are the century old or even older, we haven't had something like this in a long while so it is scaring a lot of people and I can understand why.

However lets be realistic, it will probably kill maximum of half a million people, is that bad? It is horrible, it is a tragedy, it is incredibly sad. But is that end of the world? It is not, we have 8 billion people, half a million means 7 billion 999 million 500 thousand still alive, we are seriously too crowded in the world right now, it can't really hurt all that many people. Know the difference between too many people dying and world ending amount of people dying.
1866  Economy / Economics / Re: What China is hiding from us and are they doing it to save their economy? on: April 03, 2020, 07:07:59 AM
As many people think coronavirus is created by China and they did to crush other economy but I don't think that's what they did but some information came to light that gives us some dought about China's action. as far as we know death in China is a total of 3800+ but is it a real number? Did they hide the real numbers to protect their economy?
I don’t know about this, but have you tried to check the number of active cases and the number that has recovered?
The number of recovery seems to be very high compared to other countries. And the cases have not been much (not that I wish).

Another thing is that they were even selling fake Tests kits to the world, does that mean they want the virus to keep spreading around the world? Another thing you have to consider is why they rejected offers to help them at first? I can go on for long to keep mentioning a lot of things they have done that makes everything to seem suspicious.
1867  Economy / Economics / Re: Chinese Strategy? on: April 02, 2020, 07:07:55 PM
It’s likely for newbies to make such a mistake, you must have heard about Bitcoin in 2017 when the price pumping and media was hyping it. You then thought that it would be a good idea to rush in, like seriously, who wouldn’t take such an opportunity? And after rushing in, it started crashing and you had to sell. So, this is quite normal.

Bitcoin market is volatile, if you’re lucky the price might go up any time. We were all looking forward to the price going up this 2020, but this (Covid-19) has happened and we don’t know what’s going to happen next. This is something that’s going to teach us to always stop making speculations because we don’t know what the future holds. I pray this all pass real soon.
1868  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Corona Coin Head Developer Just Exit Scammed on: April 02, 2020, 11:33:43 AM
I guess we can't really call this an exit scam can we? In order for something to be an exit scam you need to first have a good project or at least a good looking project that everyone thought might be something decent and what not, but then turns out something bad after all. This was already known to be a scam to begin with, it was an start scam not an exit scam Cheesy lol.

So,maybe people lost some money into this, nobody really should have believed him, there is absolutely nothing you can use corona coin neither, the real corona could have spread a lot faster than the coin obviously, so it is basically a cautionary tale to people who fall into these popular trendy topic coins, what are you going to do next build Joe Biden coin if he wins and spend money on that? Get it together and make smart investments.
1869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Another crypto ban again? on: March 31, 2020, 02:23:11 PM
You can try to ban crypto in any nation as much as you want, it will not be "banned" like the other illegal stuff. When you kill someone you do something illegal and you get caught, the proof that you killed someone is literally that person being dead, when you steal from someone they no longer have that money and you do, that is the proof.

When you use bitcoin, there is nothing illegal going on aside from using a currency not allowed, that is not provable as long as you do not spend it on something that can be proven, you can buy and hold without any proof, any trace and you can continue to live like that until it becomes legal. So long story short, bitcoin can't be banned, it can't be stopped, it can never be "illegal" like the other stuff, it can only be "frowned upon" at most.
1870  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the Corona drop over or will it continue? on: March 30, 2020, 03:20:39 PM
Yes, there are lots of articles online that are saying that corona virus is not the reason why the price of Bitcoin has fallen to this low price, but I don’t believe all that. This is something that affected every other thing and not just Bitcoin, just like you have said – Dow Jones fell from the top to a low price, gold was going up the earlier time and at the end it fell to a lower price, same thing with silver, Bitcoin and lots of other cryptocurrencies.

So, I don’t know why anyone would say that this pandemic wasn’t the cause of it. The important thing now is that we should all pray for things to get better and nothing else.
1871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I realise Coronavirus is not a reason why on: March 30, 2020, 01:54:24 PM
I am not going to doubt what they have said, I’m just going to have faith that the pandemic is going to end even before that month of June  Roll Eyes, it already feels like a year lol. And probably there is going to be change in the market once the pandemic has stopped or maybe the changes might even take place before then and the prices of stocks, oil, cryptocurrencies and other assets will start to recover.

I am most worried about the virus spreading in countries where there are no good healthcare, it might be worse in those cases, they better find a way to prevent such from happening.
1872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: March 29, 2020, 07:21:30 PM
@BitcoinGirl.Club  i'm watching Mouse vs Faze and for some odd reason, the stream quality is much smoother/better if i watch it from the website that you posted than from the actual Twitch website...weird. So, thank you so very much for the links  Grin

Does anyone know how long is a competitive CS:GO match?
You can find a ton of esports topics here but bitcointalk people are not really a lot keen on esports that much, same goes for poker as well (both of which sportsbet has lol) so I think it would basically be a lot better if you could research stuff or at least be a part of the discussion in some other places. Look at reddit for example, during a cs:go match going on if you check the subreddit there is a topic with it and there is like thousands of people talking about just that much, we do not have thousands of people talking about the whole esports world here, well we do not even have thousands of people talking about bitcoin here neither but you get the point. Looking specifically to those games subreddits would get you a lot more information and discussion than you can ever get here.
1873  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲EarnBet.io - The First Player-Owned Casino 🎲Provably Fair 🎲BTC ₿ on: March 29, 2020, 06:42:07 PM
Let me put it this way, earnbet may or may not be awesome, you may like it or even hate it, but what bestbitcoincasino is saying is they are in the top 5 decentralized ones, that's it, they are not saying top 5 of all time, they are only talking about the dapp casinos and earnbet being in top 5.

Let's be honest I have said that earnbet has to do a ton more stuff, I have said that they have to improve by a lot, I have said that they have potential but failing to fill that potential so far, yet when you look at all the other decentralized casinos, honestly they are definitely in top 5 no questions asked for sure. Would I rank them in my top 10 just casinos list? No not a chance, but the decentralized casino world is quite new and fresh, so they are easily in top 5.
1874  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't hate long term promotions on: March 29, 2020, 03:36:22 PM
Everyone is different. I understand that you can wait that long and that’s good, but there are people who can’t hold on for that long and they just want to quickly get their payment maybe due to one situation or the other.

Just like when I saw some people that were talking about Hodl and how long they can hold their coins, I saw people that said they can’t hold for long because sometimes they see themselves in situations where they will be needing that money to settle some issues. So, it is not always the same for everyone, some can have patience and some can’t, and I don’t blame those that can’t hold that long.
1875  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Managers and Shit projects on: March 29, 2020, 03:03:47 PM
Lol what other punishment do you expect than just giving them a negative rating? I don’t really think there’s any other punishment that can be given to them apart from being bombarded with negative ratings on their profile so that in the future people will avoid any project that they are promoting.

But, as a hunter you also have your roll to play which is being careful and avoiding bad projects so that you don’t end up regretting later. You shouldn’t always be expecting the managers to do the jobs. The same way you sometimes you think those projects are good are the same way those managers also think it is, and at the end they are disappointed. So, you gotta be careful yourself.
1876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Corona coins taking over on: March 29, 2020, 02:12:53 PM
Lolz I have come across these Coronavirus coins and some of them claim that they are just for good purposes. I don’t understand what they mean by that, they are just doing business with the situation at hand and claiming that they are doing it for good. It is not a platform for donation and none of the money that are invested there goes in any way to support victims of Coronavirus, so these people are just fools that are looking for those that will fall for their foolish scam. So, dumb. People are always looking for opportunity to make with just anything.
1877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Advice to everyone today on: March 29, 2020, 01:27:22 PM
Remember the financial crisis in 2008 when banks stopped customers from withdrawing funds? Then drip feeding tiny amounts to customers via ATMs. This is going to happen again, this time it will be worse.

Take your financial freedom in your own hands, Buy crypto today
Yes this is right time for people to start taking total control over their money and having savings on Bitcoin.

I know that some will be scared due to the volatile nature of Bitcoin, in this case such people should as well consider other cryptocurrencies that are less volatile or the stable coins like USDT, Pax, TUSD or any other type of payment that gives them total control and freedom over their money than leaving it in the hands of the government.

People really has to be very careful of situations like this. Even before now I have been doing that to be in complete control of my money and not hear stories that touch.
1878  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOW LOW BTC CAN GO? on: March 29, 2020, 10:46:37 AM
The truth is that we can’t really tell he direction the price of Bitcoin or any other altcoin will be moving. There are always two possibilities to which direction the price will go to.

I don’t do the analysis myself, rather I do research and look for experts analysis to know where the market will be heading to next. Cointelegraph.com has been one of my favorite sources for technical analysis; they do technical analysis on the top ten cryptocurrencies in the market every week. Their latest analysis on 27th March reveals that traders should set their stop loss at $5,600.
1879  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading, gambling and binary options. Which one you prefer? on: March 29, 2020, 07:29:20 AM
What you don't know and what you know is very important as well as being able to say "I am out of my depth" is really important as well, that is what is missing from a lot of the traders. Gamblers know that there is 99% chance that they will lose their money, they would be super lucky if they end up winning after a long streak, or at least they know they can go all in once and if they win just get out.

Binary is something I have never been part of so I can't talk about those people. However comparing gamblers and traders, gamblers know that they will lose and still gamble thinking maybe they will win, that is their problem, traders know that what they should do and most of the time have the blueprint but they put emotions into it and end up losing that is their problem.
1880  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we agree BTC is not a store of value? on: March 28, 2020, 06:34:40 PM
Listen to this podcast.
https://unconfirmed.libsyn.com/coronavirus-how-it-will-impact-bitcoin-and-the-halving-ep116
However much you want it to be, BTC is NOT a store of value.  It has been a few years since $20K and even now, each peak is smaller than the previous peak.  Probably be $3K by the end of the week.
Well, I have never for once seen it as a store of value; to me, bitcoin is not a store of value, it’s just an investment and whatever goes into bitcoin is what I can afford to risk and apart from that I also use it for transactions in cases or places where it’s possible that I can make use of cryptocurrency, and those are few.

When I invest in bitcoin and altcoins I already know that there are risks that are involved in buying and storing them, so I relax and wait till the price goes up and when it reaches a rate where I’m completely okay with it, that’s when I sell it and convert to whatever I want to convert.
