1861  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Sell bounty token at a loss? on: September 13, 2019, 09:02:39 AM
I think the role of bounty hunters in causing price drops for new tokens is often overstated. Really if an ICO fails to hit hard cap, then that means that supply is greater than demand, which causes immediate downwards price pressure once the token hits the market. Of course bounty hunters and people who have bought with a big bonus at ICO often sell their tokens quickly, but there is already downwards pressure there anyway.
This people are not going to wait once they already seen the opportunities to sell the tokens that they've got whatever value it's no longer a concern, bounty hunters would rather sell the rewards and proceed to another project, if all those bounty tokens will be sold plus those bonuses from the early investors the impact will surely a big dumped.

If there's no plan for buying back those tokens the project will  suffer and it will be hard for getting any interest from new investors.

That strategy might work for some time but when you played a lot of games using the same strategy it won't work anymore. You may be lucky today but that doesn't mean someone will be lucky as you too. I've tried that kind of strategy before but it doesn't end well in the long run.

This just proves that gambling is not something that you could outplay in the long run because it is designed to make money for the owner. This is how the gambling industry works, you will need a lot of luck in order to make money from them.
I've the same sentiment regarding to that. It won't be easy to have the same luck with someone who shares their strategy. Maybe it will work for them but not for everyone who's going to use it, or if in any way it will bring the same outcome. But the time frame will not be that long, you need to have discipline to avoid being wrecked out after getting a good run. If you can quit whenever you are in green, that will be fine from your side.

Any strategy that will be invented will give a short-term benefit. It's up to the user on how to take advantages and keep in the positive side.

First of all, I think it will be a great educational video that can explain much for newbies and secondly, this movie can push bitcoin's and altcoin's price reach the sky (don't perceive it literally). What do u think?

the source: https://thebitplex.com/?p=198

Looking forward to seeing this hopefully they won't add anything strange on the movie.
I'm very much happy if it just for the sake of educating people all around the world.

If they made a bitcoin movie who main focus are the crime then this is so wrong bitcoin
maybe use that way but not all of if only some of it.
If being filmed with balance information it would be great to see how this documentary will bring a good impacts to this industry, not being bias and show the usefulness of this system and not only the negative side,  it will captures ideas and information regarding to possible benefits if being presented correctly and informatively.

Netflix have a huge audience if ever they will give fair and reasonable write-ups, more interest will be gather and possible to have more adoptions after.
1864  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are ICOs success factors? on: September 12, 2019, 03:37:18 PM
Most of the comments on this thread are about IEOs. But I'm pretty sure that there are/ there will be good ICOs that are going to come up. As long as they have a really good marketing, a good and working product, and have a transparency to the investors. I treat IEOs and ICOs at the same level since I don't always have a good experience with IEOs.
There's a lots of talk regarding to IEO's since the investors are switching to this venue of investment after seeing good outcome from those projects that's being held inside a well known exchanges, but it's not the end for ICO's there's still projects that will appear and provide useful finished products. It will be for those investors who still have a good plans to continue working with offered product to support for future success.

Gambling activities cause similar kind of effects on human brain. If you wish to read the scientific reference of it, please see below link,

http://www.ncrg.org/sites/default/files/uploads/docs/monographs/ncrgmonograph6final.pdf

So human mind looking for releasing stress and enjoying Adrenalin rush, does not bother for money! I hope it sufficiently answers your question! Our views can be different than this, but gambling is a method of relaxing! An adult's way of relaxing rather!
In another thread, I once told about my uncle who thinks gambling was just his entertainment and he didn't care how much money he lost... but I think differently, personally I consider gambling as a means of profit and not entertainment..
Everyone's opinions are different, so just do what you think is good.  Smiley
It's different from what other people treated this activities but likewise do whatever you think is best for you, there's no pressure with anything but just you alone who will manage how things will affects your emotions and how good will you take care of your money, there's should always be a limitation in order not to fall into certain position where too much engagements will affects your financial and emotional state.
1866  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you need to become a successful trader? on: September 12, 2019, 04:26:01 AM
The most important and to me the only thing you need to become a successful crypto currency trader is the knowledge of when to buy at a lower market price and when to sell particularly at your target profit. And to get that knowledge, you will need to learn from the mistake of the people that have failed in the crypto currency trading , why did they fail and those who are making profit from there crypto currency trading how did they make it.
Sometimes because the mistake we already do gives us motivation to become successful just like in trading.
Traders become failed before but because of that failure they will not do that again and change their routine in trading which is changing startegy and keep learning in trading to get more profit. But knowledge is really big help for us.
Advance thinker type of a trader will take things into a positive response. After experiencing mistakes from previous attempt of taking position, instead, they'll make it much better in their next time they'll try. Becoming a successful traders can be done with many factors to consider. It's not an easy to go forward and be successfu,l but it needs to have a lot of understanding and lots of doing research to enhance your knowledge and skills from time to time.

-snip-

Although of course the US still gives significance to the FIBA World Cup as a tournament, I doubt they are taking it as seriously as the Olympic Games. The current roster of the US team is representative of it. This current lineup is not going to be the same lineup had this been the Olympic Games.

After that outcome, everything will be different for team US this coming Olympics. For sure, pride will be there. It will be enforced by those Superstars who'll be willing to play representing their respective countries. FIBA teams already send their national teams while team US send experimental players. But kidding aside, it should be more seriously taken when Olympics is already at stake. We will expect much stronger players that will lead this tournament.

Top alt coins who have solid foundation and a good finish product to offer will not turned into zero but possible to bounced back and bring a good value for your investment, we often seen up and down movements if you have spare money to invest this timing would be a good time to buy your supported coins.

The idea of buying a coin especially those who are in top is a good thing to do, as you are anticipating that it will rise back eventually after this bear season switch to bull.

Durant on ESPN.

"
Quote
Some days I hate the circus of the NBA," Durant told the WSJ. "Some days I hate that the players let the NBA business, the fame that comes with the business, alter their minds about the game. Sometimes I don't like being around the executives and politics that come with it. I hate that.

Looks like he now saw the ugly side of NBA which is the truth.
Also, this aint just NBA fault but the media.
They keep on analyzing players and sometimes they go way under the belt.
They make rumors like they are truth and people believe it.
That is the problem for entertainers like him. He is a star so he became the apple of the eye.

Oklahoma fans seems to not get over to what he did. Westbrook did.
Now, Westbrook is in Houston. Will they also get mad with him?

Why would Oklahoma fans get angry with Westbrook? He is on free agent so he has the authority to not sign with the team and go sign the other. It's business man, and its in the rules of the NBA and not just the players decide with that rules.
Although it's a part of the rules but fans can be triggered by wrong write-ups from Mass media's they can easily harmed the image of the players who's going to leave the franchise, it's how exactly what KD means there's politics who are influencing everything around this league, you need to adjust and follow the trend if you wanted to keep your fame and longing your stay to keep playing around.

Great match and great victory for France.
Congratulation!
I think this is a very good thing for world basketball because it has been proven that Americans are not untouchable and from other planet.
It is very funny that instead of playing in the grand finale, as everyone announced, we will watch America and Serbia fight for fifth place  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
Sometimes it is better to talk less and work harder and fight, as France and Argentina have beautifully shown.



It's expected, it only happens because the US team cannot get the best players in the NBA, this team selection does not have one single superstar here, I hope this is a wake-up call and they should send their best team in the next Olympic.

The US team should realize that other countries have their own basketball program and they need strong players but let's see the NBA superstars seems noncommital anymore on their participation in this kind of events.

Expecting that team US will bring their superstars this coming Tokyo Olympics after losing this FIBA world cup, NBA Superstars will be formed another dream team that will remove all the doubt that they are still the dominating country in terms of this sport. LeBron, KD, Kawhai, Curry, and Davis for the first five for sure fans all over the world will love this team US again and will forget this last performanced.
1871  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We are only rich on spreadsheets on: September 10, 2019, 05:58:19 PM
Upon reading this, I laughed honestly but that's the bitter truth in most cases. I remember doing many campaigns in the past with high reward stated on spreadsheet, some never get distributed while some turn to garbage when distributed.  Well, this doesn't mean we don't benefit from a few campaigns, reason why it's good to check properly before doing any.
Make yourself embracing realities, there's a lots of projects that we often see providing huge amount of stakes but in an actual value it's just a trash or nothing at all, many hunters are frustrated to what outcome those projects provides, most turned into scam and no longer showing up after the sale
periods, placing both investors and bounty participants to a hanging positions, it's always best to investigate and do a good research before joining it will help you to avoid scam team.
1872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will BNB become the king of all coins on: September 10, 2019, 05:12:05 PM
CZ did a great job by creating own blockchain and own DEX exchange.
Now, every project that wants to be listed on Binance needs to create a coin on this blockchain, if they add also smart-contract feature, Binance chain could become really a bigger than Ethereum network.
That move from CZ added more developers to create their coins inside this chain it will be  easier for the team to work easily with this exchange, with wide acceptance there's a bigger space for binance having more success, though it's a long way to go before things can  decided since there's already a lots of crypto projects who also desires to be the king and be more successful inside this industry.
1873  Economy / Economics / Re: China launching its own crypto currency ? on: September 10, 2019, 04:14:02 PM
China is all set to launch its own crypto currency for more than 1 billion of its population how will it effect the crypto market ?
Since they wanted to have complete control over their population it is not a big surprise that they are coming up with their own centralized coin, i have not seen any articles regarding that but i have an idea what they are coming up with, it is no affect in the market, Venezuela already have their coin Petro, does it have any implication in the market, i seriously do not see any nor do i care about it. Wink
It will affect the entire nation of China if they will carry out this crypto coin but since it's a centralized coin it will be use by people who live from the country, though we can also consider the hype that possible to happen with billions of citizens from china who will  understand the concept of this industry, if investment will flow and they consider other crypto coins it will be a good start for Chinese people to go deeper with crypto industry.

As a player, their life does not only focus in basketball, they also have a lot of things that they like to do especially with their family.

Definitely, smart NBA players are investors so there is life after an exciting NBA career like Wade. If I'm not mistaken, he has some endorsement or businesses which includes socks and wines. And yes, probably he just have a lot of time in his hands and just wanted to train and stay in shape. But it's cool to see them together blossom that friendship.
There's always life outside the court, smart players knows that and they are preparing with the money that they can use to open businesses it will helps them after their retirement, aside from that, they are also aware that career can instantly gone with a major injuries so better to have a good investment to make sure for their future. Whatever this DWade reasons it's still a good thing for basketball fans to see him taking this steps to stay in shape or there's another chance to him back playing.
1875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto hodling as a form of gambling! on: September 10, 2019, 03:31:32 PM
Until now, I probably agree with you that cryptos are some kind of gambling because it's so hard to predict any price or movement, that even real good analysts are wrong almost all of the time
With all the guessing, and predicting, and waiting on what will be the price this time to the next minute or hour, hodling is really somehow like gambling. In gambling, you don't really know if you will win or lose; and same here while hodling. I mean, one don't really know how much cryptos like bitcoin will cost. That explains all the price prediction threads here in the forum. However, they also have difference in the sense that, in gambling, it depends on either luck or strategy but in hodling, it needs more strategy and wise judgement on when to buy or sell.
Good judgement inside this industry will allow you to decide whether to take a risk holding your coin its similar like gambling with your fate, as there's no certainty in terms of market movements and exact time frame when the volatile market will hit up, understanding the sway to keep you from dealing as the same way as playing like gambling, but instead treating it as an investment form that will increase its value after some time of holding.
1876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did gambling affected your personal reputation? on: September 09, 2019, 03:24:40 PM
Everyone stating that gambling will affect someone's image in the society so this is actually happened with you?

For me it happened once why are you gambling its a sin in our life I replied its my wish I can do what ever I wanted.
Playing gambling is never been a sin it would only be considered to be if you do make yourself do attached with gambling addiction where you do already come to a point where you already compromised your life savings and breaking out relations with your loved ones.

Gambling doesn't affect my reputation because I do gamble only online and didn't tend to gamble on any public place but even ive done such thing I don't see for it to be a big
factor for me since its my money after all and no one can stop you on how you do spend it.
The after effects of your gambling activities are the one who will be judged and reflects to your personalities. Gamblers who got attached too much and became addicted receives bad impressions, while those who's able to come up with good outcomes will be lucky. Good example to that are those who play and win with the lottery. Hitting the jackpot even you did try a lot of times will still gives you a good impressions.
1877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Big prize for 1 participant in a signature campaign? on: September 09, 2019, 03:09:24 PM
for example: prize allocation for a campaign (signature) is around 2,000,000 tokens and if the project only has 1 participant in the campaign (signature) and when the project has been completed or not scammed, is it true that the participant will get the sum of all tokens (signatures)?
or maybe not at all,  for other reasons?

This participant will get all the tokens that have been promised. However, we return to the rules made and the Bounty manager's policy will determine. But in my opinion, it is very funny because the participants there is only one and that I have never met.

But if that happens, let alone the project is not fake and successful. It will make a lot of money and he is very lucky.
Some bounty managers also declares that if ever the bounty participants will not  met the numbers of participants that they needed they will adjust the stake rewards, though just incase that things happened like that and there's no changing in rules, that particular bounty hunter will be so lucky to receive the entire rewards.

Not sure if there's already things that happened , maybe in some instance there's few lucky hunters who shared big stakes but not alone entirely.
1878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: September 09, 2019, 02:39:58 PM
Who's a fan of Dwayne Wade and Lebron at the same time? these two really has a close bond together.

--> https://www.nba.com/article/2019/09/08/dwyane-wade-los-angeles-work-out-train-lebron-james?collection=news

And aside from they are really close as a friend, Wade moved to Los Angeles that's why he can be involved to LBJ whenever he likes.

But I'm more concern about this:

Quote
While Wade says he's "done" playing professional basketball, his trainer is making him stay in shape, "just in case something happens."

"I’m going to stay in shape because you never know," Wade said. "Never say never.”

He is not done yet.

He is not done yet, he can still play if he wants too because for sure there are teams that will be interested to get him.
In his last season in the NBA, he played well although his points average has decrease but there are games where he take over and win the game for his team.

The kind of leadership that he has is a good one, even better than Lebron because he is one of the clutch player in the NBA who have a high IQ in basketball. If you will ask me, I would love to see him play, I don't know if I will like to see him playing with Bron.
That's the difference between a player with leadership and a good attitude while playing inside the league, they will make a statement and make the entire associations to go wild and try to sign them up, DWade still on his shape though he's age already slowing him down but the intellectual capabilities is still high,  he can add leadership and good mental guidance to whichever team he will play.
1879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 on: September 09, 2019, 02:23:00 PM
All in all - if we look at the whole tournament, not only Greece as a team failed... Giannis cant be satisfied with his personal performances either...
The important thing here for Giannis is the experience and he should learn from that. Greece will be back a better team next time, we know that.

FIBA officiating is way too different in the NBA and even here in our national league, fouls called is too thin but that's the way it is and teams should adjust to that and avoid too much complaining.
Well said, Greece needs to stand down and let this one to passed then come back strongly, Giannis together with his brother are still young they have a lots of experiences to improved as time goes a lots of things will be learn and will show back strongly.

FIBA in terms of regulations have a big difference from NBA, adjustment needs to workout  by players who plays  representing their National teams.

1880  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Xrp Price low what Reasons? on: September 09, 2019, 01:54:02 PM


One of the main reason its price stay for now is because the dominance of Bitcoin
Everyone is selling their alts to Bitcoin because Bitcoin is really showing a huge dominant in the market
Everyone are getting a piece of Bitcoin or even just 1/10 of it just to not miss out the price fluctuation where it has potential to gain by multiple folds



Almost if not all are suffering due to this situation. Bitcoin dominance makes investors follow and divert their assets to bitcoin. And since XRP is not showing any good sign of moving up, holders are now moving to what they think  can accumulate profits. Things will change when the entire alts market start to bounce back and show a good run. But as of now, it needed for investors to choose between short and medium term investment.
