1901  Economy / Speculation / Re: The fourth quarter of 2018 not the brightest on: November 17, 2018, 08:35:52 AM
the fourth quarter of the year normally determines whether that year is good or bad for the crypto market. if you look at the last year 2017 the cryptocurrency market started booming in the early October while nothing good happened in the last October yet the market is crashing very badly in November. i guest this year is not the good one for bitcoin and the cryptocurrency in general.   
Well, I dont agree with you concern what you said about the fourth quarter to determine yearly market status because the last 2 months of every year  are time crypto currency market usually face some dump in price because thats the time some people spend some of their coins. But, I can only say this year market is not been fair to those that bought during the last ATH  and they are smart enough they have to buy in this dip.

Nah if you've observed dude for the past 10 years, mostly the last 2 months are the ones that had considerable growth. I don't think people are spending bitcoins for the holidays. It's mid november and usually by this time the price should be in a positive movement however it's not.

If Sec accept Bitcoin ETF , we can expect the huge bull run for the market .
What do you think ? Will Sec accept bitcoin ETF ?

Maybe they would eventually approve it but we don't know for sure when would that happen. There are still so many speculation as to how bitcoin and other altcoin should be treated that's why the stance of SEC when it comes to ETF is still doubtful. Regarding the huge bull run, it may happen when there is an announcement of its approval but I would rather see the price slowly go up than a pump because if its the case then there would a dump afterwards which is not an organic growth.

I am sure that in the future ETF will accept bitcoin and when the receipt occurs when the price of bitcoin will experience a fantastic increase. But I also agree with your opinion that there is a very high increase suddenly so it will be accompanied by a similar decline. That way, I would expect a gradual increase compared to pumping for a moment because of an event.

Naaah. An increase is probable for a short time though not as many would prefer. Etf doesn't really do anything sognificant to btc. An approval or denial would spike up speculations that would move the price but only on a temporary basis.
1903  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you want to see for Bitcoin - A stable or a volatile market? on: November 14, 2018, 01:29:24 PM
While volatility will help traders make a lot of profits, it will keep a lot of people too away from using bitcoin. If we want it to be used frequently by people’s as a mode of transaction then I think it needs to be stable to gain such a trust from the entire public. I want to to be stable so that everyone can use it without fear or panic.

I agree with you here dude. And let's be honest, not many people can take advantage of an extremely volatile market. Losses are even more prevalent if you don't know how to properly ride volatility. Amd i think stability is where we really are headed to anyways.
1904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT NEXT FOR BTC on: November 14, 2018, 01:25:52 PM
Indeed, it is common knowledge that greedy people want to control bitcoin, but they cannot. Bitcoin is designed for individuals, and if they really want to control it it will be very difficult even though they have a lot of money.

Uh when you say control, a few people with enough holdings can actually manipulate pumps and dumps that will affect how the rest of the holders feel. It's a known fact and sadly that's just how most things in this world works. Whatever happens to btc, you can only be prepared for any possibility.
1905  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are the banks going to kick-out bitcoin with their new digital coin on: November 14, 2018, 01:21:25 PM
Banks can't stop the world using bitcoin, because people who hold bitcoin wouldn't accept a bankcoin. It may partly be accepted by some individuals. People prefer bitcoin because it is decentralized and that is something that any bankcoin might not be.

Well i think a bank backed coin would actually do good in the market also. Take ripple for example. We all know xrp goes against what btc stands for but it still commands a good following since a lot of people feel more at ease if a coin is backed by an established institution.
1906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Floyd Mayweather set for New Year's Eve fight in Japan on: November 13, 2018, 01:20:44 PM
If this supposed to be fight will pushed through in the octagon then it could be considered a circus but this time Floyd is on the losing end. A fight between a boxer and a MMA fighter is a circus though and it is all because of money that is why such show happens.
A total show for all.

Those who are going to pay for live will surely enjoy on whatever the outcome of this match. Well, sports has been already one of the best source of entertainment nowadays especially with these fights.

Well floyd's already put a period on this and it seems to be nothing but a misunderstanding and there's no such fight that will happen. Probably he saw nasukawa's previous fights lol. Though i doubt the boy would have any serious chance if it had pushed through. Floyd won't accept being at a disadvantage at any time.
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this sound realistic? on: November 13, 2018, 01:12:28 PM
It is very easy to advice to say to do this and that to get rid of gambling addiction by doi g this and that but this advice won't work for even on 10% gamblers.

Gambling addiction starts by first playing for fun but when you lose high you start to this k how you lost and then you do more gambling and then this way you become addicted to gambling in recovering you're loss.

So the theory is that everything is on gamblers will to kill his full investment or forget the loss and leave with what left and live happily

I think some people are just born with a more addictive personality which causes them to get easily hooked on gambling.  It isn't exactly the same but alcoholics tend to follow the addiction pattern of their other family members so we shouldn't put too much blame on individuals.  Quite frankly, as long as they aren't harming other people I don't see a problem with it.

Well sometimes they can't help themselves. Other people like friends and family members will eventually be dragged especially if the gambler has lost all reasoning that it compromises financial and family affairs.
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: November 13, 2018, 01:07:13 PM
Hoping OP will be updated and the title thread too. Anyways lets back to the discussion.

I didn't expect that Toronto Raptors defeated by the New Orleans Pelicans on Raptors Homecourt last Monday night. Looks like Kyle Lowry having a trouble in scoring on that game because he only had 4 points but good 11 dimes.
They maybe are tired of winning, lol.
You cannot underestimate the New Orleans Pelicans because they are a good team with Davis, if you remember they beat the Rockets at home
also and Rockets are as good as the Raptors.

Well unexpected things happen all the time and i don't think the raptors are even thinking of a long undefeated streak. Upsets are a normal thing and it doesn't change anything anyways, the raptors will still probably be in the top 2 come the playoffs.
1909  Economy / Speculation / Re: People are Calm!! on: November 07, 2018, 03:50:17 PM
People are calm, but slowly some of us are loosing their cool. With the increasing number of crypto scams, few countries putting a ban on crypto currencies and the stagnant price of BTC at 6-7k mark, it has been a tough and tiring year for Bitcoiners!! I mean last year was fun, with bitcoin hitting 20k. I wonder when BTC will stand up again and bring back the glorious days. Hoping for the best.. Cheers
You didn't loose your cool April - May and now, November, you want to loose your cool? My friend, we need to keep calm till the end. This is not the time to give up. Moreso, this is a taste of price stability we have been craving for. Invest now if you can and reap the reward at a future date.
This is the result if the cryptonians is checking the value of hes folio from time to tine
Never do this because the effect will bring your motivation down,imagine when the price bottoming and you’ll see that your investments are falling badly you will feel panicking and frustrated,so stop doing such and continue trusting this market.not only calmly but patience also

Yeah. This steady price isn't as bad as many assume. I mean, things could get worse and we may go well below our current value right? It's easier to stay calm in a steady situation than when the market is sharply dropping.
1910  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2019 Will Be Remarkable for the Industry on: November 07, 2018, 03:39:54 PM
2019 is a year that makes many people curious, many say that in 2019 the price of bitcoin will recover. but this is still uncertain because so far there is no sign that the price of bitcoin will recover.

People said the same thing at the start of 2018 and there have been high hopes for a lot of people. And we're aware now that what many expected didn't happen. Actually a lot lost money. We can't really tell for sure because we may end up like those that got rekt this year.
1911  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is bitcoin worthy to buy ? right now? on: November 07, 2018, 03:35:58 PM
Bitcoin prices now seem to have begun to show signs of movement because I see the volume increasing every day maybe now is the right time to buy as much bitcoin as you can after that you can also do daily trading by utilizing the bitcoin price movements for profit.

Well i wouldn't trade with btc at this point though. And people seem to be more interested in waiting in the sidelines rather than buying btc in it's current steady rate. And increase in volume doesn't seem to have that much effect in the price. For now that is.
1912  Economy / Speculation / Re: How is bitcoin this year on: November 07, 2018, 03:29:13 PM
Bitcoin is very stagnant so far in the past couple of weeks now. It's really a rough road for bitcoin this year as its market price dropped to 5,000USD few times. If there is really a bull run for this year, then it may somehow recover from its loss.
Yes price is really disappointing to all users because of no improvement through this month. It really shows a struggling of price and many hopeful for the bullish trend to start or even before year ends. Bitcoin is very stagnant indeed so I think the recovery phase of btc is on next year.

Well first of all, it didn't actually get to 5k usd at any point this year. Lowest i think bottomed around 5.8k and i don't really consider this situation as bad as many would seem. Being here when bitcoin was less than 1k, there have been many times when btc was stagnant for an even longer time.
1913  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why BTC is under $8K? on: November 07, 2018, 03:25:04 PM
Now BTC is under $8K, do you have any opinions about this issue?
We think BTC will go uptrend to reach over $10K but it can be now.
maybe you need to visit my thread here

I'm not a good expert and trader, but I don't think bitcoin will go to the moon this year, even though there are increases that won't last long, I don't want to talk much, hopefully it helps you


Well i doubt that there are many people who still expects a btc mooning this year. All signs  point to quite a stagnant price until the year end. Though a mini run may happen just to keep that last quarter trend still. As the year end comes closer, it seems unlikely that we're even going to touch 10k.
1914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquaio vs. Adrien Broner on: November 05, 2018, 01:33:08 PM

Although contracts are not yet finalized, looks like the fight between Pacquaio (39) and Bonner (29) is now closed to deal.

(Will update this once there is a changed)

Date: Jan. 19, 2019

Venue: MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas*

Further news will be posted here. Will post some details too about crypto sportsbooks that will opened bets for this match.

It would be another win for Manny. I know it would be best to put my money for the tested fighter than a newly bloom one. Maybe Broner has a guy to fight the legend but it would still be not enough to bring it down. I would place my bet on the veteran.
I'm also a fan of Manny but this won't be easy since the 3 losses of Broner comes in unanimous decision. That means he is tough and not that easy to beat but I agree Manny has advantage on this fight except his age. Although he is proving that age doesn't matter based on his recent matches.

Well odds will be stacked heavily against broner here though i wouldn't mind placing a bet on the guy for bigger winnings. Who knows. Regardless of the preparations and his recent convincing win, pacquiao still is an aged fighter. We've seen a lot of them old guys end their careers with a loss to a younger talent.
1915  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 on: November 05, 2018, 01:29:18 PM
So if Manny Pacquio will fight Adrien Broner on Jan. 19, 2019 see discussion here Manny Pacquaio vs. Adrien Broner
And Floyd Mayweather will fight Tenshin Nasukawa on New Years Eve see discussion here Floyd Mayweather set for New Year's Eve fight in Japan
I guess the fight between Manny Pacquiao Vs Floyd Mayweather this December will not happen since both fighters are booked on different days.
That accidental meeting between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is nothing but just testing the waters.

Exactly. Something to hype up boxing fans wanting to see these two oldies go at it again. Honestly i don't think another bout would be appealing for most fans. We've seen the first one, and there's no reason why the result would be different the second time around.
1916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Floyd Mayweather set for New Year's Eve fight in Japan on: November 05, 2018, 01:26:44 PM
As far as i know, the young guy he's facing is a beast in kickboxing so you'd be foolish to think that it will cleanly have kickboxing rules. It's mayweather come on. The guy's used to playing his cards always at an advantage.
1917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: November 05, 2018, 01:20:06 PM
Raptors are 9-1 for the season, this game without Leonard and they showed up tonight, great start for them going up in the first quarter 42-17. LA still has to find that chemistry that they need, Kuzma had a nice game again, I think next year we will see an all-star teaming up with Lebron in LA after the Warriors win again this year.

Yeah Kuzma. Really love that kid. I see a great  player within him. Been a fan of him since his rookie year.

Raptors though. Ergh! Too stroong even with Kawaii nor playing the game.
Lowry and the bench had some good hot hands and the lead wont even go below 20 until the last minutes of the 3rd.
They  keep on doing this until playoffs and they might be the one getting that crown in the East. Doesnt need to rely much on Kawaii.

Well if you can remember though, the raptors have always been this good through the regular season even back when demar is at the helm. And i think they'll continue this kind of play until the playoffs, where we'll really see what kawhi brings that's different from derozan.
1918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquaio vs. Adrien Broner on: November 02, 2018, 06:00:50 PM
I don't know if there's a negotiation with the two, Manny and Roach. But I'm sure that Manny knows how to look back on the past on how Roach did really helped him with his career.

As a coach, of course no heartbreaks or bitter words and probably he's just telling the truth that Manny has high chance to win this game. But as long as we're not going to see it with our naked eyes, it's still undecided.
I have seen news with what happened between them but in this news, there could be a possible reunion between the two of them. I think Manny is still not okay with what happened but there's no actual firing happened according to the news.

Here's the link https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/07/10/18/roach-on-possible-reunion-with-pacquiao-i-would-train-him-for-free
This usually happens and I wouldn't add to the flame anymore with what happened to them. I guess there must be some other deep reasons or Manny is just too sensitive if its about his career for two boats.

I can feel the pain of what Roach is going through and I don't know the whole story so I'd be neutral on this but I'd love to see Roach train him again together with Buboy for this match.


Yeah and he probably also has in his mind that manny won convincingly his first fight without him in his corner. That aspects adds drama to any pacquiao fight from mathysse onwards.
1919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: November 02, 2018, 05:53:00 PM
DRose is back, scoring 50 points tonight and help his team to win against a good team is really fun to watch.
I'm just holding tears back watching him play, this Halloween, the 2011 DRose is back, shame on the Utah Jazz for waiving him, I hope the games gives him a good momentum on the games to come.

Yeah, its one game that we see the old DRose playing as if he is the reigning MVP. Well he is a good prior to the injury and maybe his regaining some form specially in his jump shots and he really turn back the clock with his vintage performance.

I do really hope that his play continue until the post season. I am a fan of him in his early games, in fact I own his first kicks released in 2012, the Adidas Adizero Rose. In that time they said it is the lightest kicks, I don't believe since there are a lot of great kicks that time. After that, a lot of injuries and it is really disappointing, not because he is not a great player but because he is a great player and his body is taking a toll on it.

Well for me the talent's always been there and there have been flashes of the old drose even back when he was in ny and cleveland. He probably needed a breakout game like this to make a comeback and i really hope he gets to sustain this kind of play. Happy for drose and his fans.
1920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Finally - Khabib the Eagle vs Floyd MayWeather on: November 02, 2018, 05:48:40 PM
Nah! For sure it'll be a boxing match and like many times before, mayweather being by far the better boxer, will end up beating another ufc champ. I don't think they should continue pitting mma fighters with boxers. And it would look like money is the main draw for these sports.
