2021  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trends for altcoins in September on: August 30, 2021, 03:56:04 PM
Honestly, I was very skeptical about what really be going to happen for the altcoins, even ETH and the know coins are really hard to predict. But all of my speculations were based on what happens to Bitcoin. As I feel that Bitcoin will continue to pump that seems to be the same trend were able to experience for the altcoins. Well, I hope this be going to happen but have also to prepare for the dump as this is really the thing to see.

Well, I have to think that some of NFT's projects will still have in good shape, especially for the gaming platforms.
It's just that whatever happens to bitcoin will also leave a great impact into altcoins. So i'm seeing more positive performance for ethereum and BNB because just like bitcoin, they stay bullish hopefully until the last quarter.

NFT's projects are still becoming more beneficial so if the demand still continue, might as well they will be profitable with some potential altcoins in the market that are listed in top 20. This might be a trend by next month but still no guarantee if they will be realized.
2022  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin to trigger central bank collapse on: August 30, 2021, 03:32:19 PM
If central banks don't start to integrate digital currencies to their system, I also believe that Bitcoin can cause central banks to collapse. It is already obvious that we won't go on with fiat currencies forever. Governments are developing their own digital currencies to get ready for the future. There will be no more fiat currencies after some point. So, central banks can't maintain their existence while only giving place to fiat currencies.
I don't think central banks will end up being collapsed if bitcoin will not be integrated into their system. If we are just aware, they have been preparing for it once bitcoin will gained a lot of users they will also come up with their own digital currency that is fully centralized. Central banks will stay for long as long as there are people who keep on using fiat and its own digital coin in the future.

Although bitcoin might be a threat to central banks but it will never end up being collapse because i believe bitcoin is not made to compete with fiat and all its financial institutions but rather to co exist with them and made the consumers feel more convenient.
2023  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should other countries did not accept Bitcoins? on: August 30, 2021, 02:55:39 PM
No offense for other countries 🌹

Why should other countries did not accept Bitcoins or let's says that Bitcoins are illegal to them?

Many reasons why some countries treated Bitcoins an illegal. But we all know that Bitcoins did not break the rules of the government, in fact Cryptocurrencies are very popular nowadays especially Bitcoin, many people got successful by joining Bitcoin.

In my point of view Bitcoin is not illegal unless you're trying to scam someone. Bitcoins did not steal money from the bank so what's the point we say Bitcoin is illegal?

Our opinions are irrelevant if the government says something is illegal then it is illegal, it is that simple, and it is easy to see why they do not like bitcoin at all, they do not like it because bitcoin is a competitor, bitcoin not only is a currency it also makes you your own banks and some of the functions of the governments can be emulated with bitcoin which means they are bound to lose power if they support it, which runs opposite with what the governments want to.
Bitcoin can do its own function independently without the presence of the government because its decentralized. And this is why the government might be threatened by bitcoin so definitely it won't be accepted simply because it can't be controlled. And since bitcoin is very transparent so the government will definitely won't love it for sure.

However, not all countries are against the adoption of bitcoin. Some are even starting to legalize it seeing it can be an asset to change the country's economy and recover from its economic crisis. The decision whether bitcoin will be accepted or not lies definitely on its country's leader so the whole thing is dependent on him.
2024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: AND YET ANOTHER FALL; A dip or A dump. on: August 27, 2021, 08:23:54 PM
Anyone can speculate if its going for a bull run or down trend but usually if there is a bull run there is gonna be a correction
However, I am sure that all people here must know that we are in bullrun and it still continues. Yes, correction is a part of bullrun, it can happen anytime like today. We can see most crypto coins prices are decreasing today but I think it won't last a long time. When Bitcoin price can pass $50k again, the prices of all altcoins probably will start to jump again. I don't see that we have a sign of a downtrend in the near future, so I am confident to see the green market again in the next few days.


It is important to not let the here and now to distract us from our real goal, the price of bitcoin can go up or down during the next days as the volatility of bitcoin works that way, however if you zoom out a little bit you can see that bitcoin has grown significantly during the last month and if you zoom out even further you can see that bitcoin has grown a lot during the last 18 months, so it is important to keep holding our coins even when there are some short term fluctuations that may make us think otherwise.
I think they are just more than healthy price corrections. And its expected by the way. Bitcoin is definitely in a price surge right now and if we see price fluctuations along the way then just ignore it. The price will eventually bounce back so there's no need to worry. Just keep hodling our coins and let's just wait where will the price settles.

But i'm very optimistic with how the market is going through. Bitcoin and ethereum are always heading upward so once they have reached their peaks, most probably other altcoins too will also be bullish.
2025  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Am I wrong? on: August 27, 2021, 07:40:23 PM
Is it possible that crypto will become stable when mass adoption occurs? I'm not saying stable like USDT I'm saying stability/bottom minus huge or massive dumps that we are all used to when bear market strikes, I know everyone can't be a holder but if crypto eventually achieve its dream of means of payment there will be more stability in crypto market, am I wrong?

Bitcoin meant become stable as you have describe but the entire market would not be stable as new coins will be developed and they too will want to be successful which speculators will consider to be perfect assets for speculation and then it will result to price differences. Other top project like Ethereum could be stable as well but provided there is always room for more project to be development, we will always have the volatility factor.

One reason the market is this volatility is because money is been circulated with in the market meaning money are moved from one project to another always and when this is done, it either pumps or dump the market.
I don't think crypto will be stable even if adoption occurs. It might only lessen the price fluctuations but definitely not stable. Crypto has a high volatility so even if its being used as a currency, i think volatility will still be present. And its the thing that keeps us thrilled so definitely it will stay that way.

But the government is seeing it in a different way. Perhaps the reason why its hard for crypto to be legalized is because of its high volatility and the fact that its a decentralized thing. Who would want to adopt it legally when you can't even control it? So that goes for crypto.
2026  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Addict on: August 27, 2021, 07:13:41 PM
Lately, I exhibited some character which to me is an addiction.

Whenever I close my eyes, I see the bitcoin logo and price just like the way it is on my device at first I thought it was normal and will fade away with time but it has persisted to this very moment while I was discussing with my other Bitcoin lovers they told me that now an addict.

So I would like to ask, is there anything like a Bitcoin addict if yes then please tell me how to become one, cause I will gladly get addicted to Bitcoin again, and again I will become a Bitcoin pro-addict if that is the case.

Will you get addicted to Bitcoin if that is possible?
Addiction is there but as long you dont compromise nor affect other important things in life then i dont really see a problem in regards to this. We do really see bitcoin investment to be that good.  Cool
Just only remember that everything should be balanced but i cant really blamed off that there are people who do really mind much about their bitcoin investment and we know that our brain could stimulate
those thoughts and thinking even we do sleep because we are minding that much which it isnt surprising.
Anything that is too much is not good for us so as much as possible, learn to avoid it. Looking at you OP, its more of an obsession. But if you can't control your behavior towards bitcoin anymore, then its definitely addiction. And for me, its not really good to get addicted to bitcoin even if it means you're into profits. It might ruin  your whole life without even knowing it.

So never tolerate what you're feeling right now. Develop some other hobbies so your mind will be diverted to some other stuffs. Bitcoin  is good but being obessed or addicted to it is not a good thing anymore.
2027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: August 27, 2021, 01:46:40 PM
Not a big fan of Caleb Plant, but I want him to win this match. Canelo cheated GGG of victories not once, but twice (with some help from subhuman judge Adelaide Byrd). Anyway, in this case Plant is from the United States, and I expect the judges to be more neutral. For him, this is the biggest fight so far in his career. BTW, I guess this is the first time we are having a four-belt unification fight, after a long duration (for any weight category). Currently Josh Taylor (Light welterweight) is the only boxer who have managed to unify all the four belts. BTW, there are rumors that Alvarez may move to light heavyweight after this fight.
I guess a lot of us would also disagree that Canelo cheated GGG, that was a close fight and I think Canelo deserves that win. We want to see the 3rd match, but it seems like it's not gonna happen but what Canelo has been showing, he showed dominance in boxing and if GGG and Canelo will fight for the 3rd time, I guess Canelo has the edge as he is the younger fighter and a more active one.

I saw the two fights and I'm not a fan of both fighters but I agree with the decision of the judges on both fights the first and the second match, it's a close fight and the fight could go either way, it's on the appreciation of the judges but yeah I agree on you that there should be a third match to settle once and for all and there's a possibility of a fourth match if GGG wins but Canelo is on another level now.

It was a split decision, so it was really close, as a fan, we could be biased because we are seeing a close fight, but the judges, know better as that is their job, so we have to respect the outcome of the fight. Besides, Canelo is not undefeated, he lose against Mayweather via Unanimous decision and that's his only lose in his career, and yet he still become one of the best fighters in our generation now.
2028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on: August 27, 2021, 01:22:06 PM
Jake Paul in 3-0? I think he was defeated a lot before or was it all a exhibition matches? why he keeps fighting people that is not from boxing? From NBA player to MMA fighter anyway what are your thoughts about this, do you think Woodley has a chance against Jake Paul I mean MMA is different from Boxing right?
Sorry which matches you was refer? AFAIK all his 3 fights were an exhibition matches right? it's recorded on his boxing statistic.
That's all for money and he looking for the opponent that doesn't have a boxing experience to make the winning chance of the fight is more high. But in this match I think he choose the wrong player...

here is my win-win situation for the upcoming fights

personally bet : 300$ on Jake Paul

if Jake Paul Win:
Well , least that i won the bet

if Tyron Woodley Win:
well , at least jake paul lose the match and no more hype (hope)
Jake Paul has freaking stupid followers, many of his videos on youtube has a lot dislikes (even the dislikes is higher than likes) but until now his followers still watching him. If he lose this match, I don't think he will lose the hype... so it's not win-win situation.

yeah the main point of betting on this is that , if jake paul really win , well i would just take the money and happy about it . if he lose to tyron woodley , i would be happy too as he just take the first L from his boxing career and he wouldn't take that much shit .



That's weird, but that's your money so you can do whatever you want, besides, the main purpose why we are gambling is to get entertain and if that is what would make us happy, then there's no problem with that, and we cannot call it as wasting of money. Good luck on your win-win situation plan.  Smiley
2029  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Every altcoins has chance on: August 26, 2021, 01:37:32 PM
I've seen several times that every altcoins doubles the price in a single day which means every coin or token has its opportunity to boom. IF BTC price does down they drop but suddenly they skyrocket by the next day itself, it's pretty hard to judge which coin might pump for the next day. Is there any specific website which might help me to identify? Kindly share your thoughts.

I do not know of website but I do know we have social media accounts that offer such service. The call themselves pump and dump traders. You should not partake in this activity which is why I can not suggest any names of the service providers to you as I will be doing you more harm that good. Most of the signal groups do this but yet disguise to be trading group which they are not.

Pump and dump group do not read charts, they just pretend to do meanwhile what is actually going on is they maje speculation without backing but it turns out to be true due to the community they control. They can pump or dump a particular coin but it is just for few minutes and the market react putting you at loss while the owners of the group profit
Do not ask for a certain website because if there is any, most of us will probably make huge profits. But price volatility and those coins who will pump and dump will remain to be uncertain unless you do it with your own two eyes by making a deep research.  

Altcoins has also its pump and dump scheme but one thing for sure every altcoin has its own time to boom and prosper. This might not be seen by all of us but if you focus on the movements of the altcoins prices, you will notice that each altcoin has made a significant pump, unless if you are investing in those shitcoins. They might hype temporarily but after that, their prices will definitely drop again and might not even recover for long. So invest in those altcoins with high demand so you will not fall into regrets at the end of the day.
2030  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin go high the poor will not participate on: August 26, 2021, 01:11:02 PM
There are lots of ways for the poor to participate and I have a few friends from India who do so,they can claim a lot of faucets daily,watch videos,do the Paid to click sites and so on,they have a section here in the forum called "Micro Earnings" which is exactly for people looking to start and find new ways to make some extra money.Beside this I think everyone or almost everyone has at least a decent GPU-graphic card to try and mine some altcoins and keep them in their wallet.

And last but not least as already said anyone can buy as little as they want,usually 0.0001 Bitcoin as a minimum which is near 5 dollars right now.
Bitcoin is really expensive compared to other crypto coins but knowing how high its profits will be, then its always a must buy. While you are earning to buy a whole bitcoin, maybe getting a portion of it is already good as long as you can manage the amount once its lose. But investing in bitcoin for long term will definitely give you more assurance to be profitable as long as you're patient enough to wait for its price to surge high.

Bitcoin is not made for rich people but definitely for everyone in the community. The poor ones may find it hard to start buying bitcoin but if you really want to invest in a promising coin, the price is worth the risk. There are a lot of ways to earn bitcoin. Just explore the whole crypto market and you'll eventually discover that there are plenty of opportunities around.
2031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 26, 2021, 12:03:44 PM
Magnolia brand, SanMig Coffee, B-Meg, Star Hotshots products all get good sales when they put it as a team name in PBA alongside another way of advertisements.

Somehow it helps that one company has a lot of teams in the PBA and the company is very profitable so they can help to finance the expenses in the bubble. however, they are running a non-profitable business anymore that would not survive in the long run if games will remain in the bubble.

I believe they have a long term plan to face the problem as I'm sure they will not allow the PBA to stop just because of the pandemic.
Maybe it's time to follow the model of our league in other country on how they were able to sustain their league.

PBA was founded in 1975, the logic is very simple, the biggest basketball league will not stop, they'll continue but most likely the salary of the players will be affected as they solely based on the income they'll generate, with less income or if they are operating at a loss, they cannot give big salary to their players.

Maybe, the time will come that more players will go abroad and play in leagues like Japan B-League because they can offer better compensation.

We all know that IT is not in his prime anymore, but if he gets added to the Lakers line up he would not be a liability in terms of contract as he won't be paid like Lebron or Davis, he will only get a veteran salary but his contribution will be vital for the team.

He is not in his prime not because of his age but because of the injury, he suffered when he was still playing with his past team Boston Celtics. He is only 32 years old, if he did not suffer the injury, he could still be one of the best PG now and he could have a maximum contract.

The LA Lakers is a rich team, they know if they what they are doing, they would not acquire a player if they know it would not contribute to the team's goal.
2034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum pump on: August 26, 2021, 09:18:48 AM
the entire market is gaining momentum in the last few days back and ethereum have been on the lead in the alt-coin market, many analyse have predicted a $3k ethereum price before the end of the week but just this morning the price of ethereum passed the $3k price which have forced many price analyse just like myself to have a rethink about the new all-time high and have adjusted my prediction of the next stop price to $4k ethereum price before the end of the week.

considering the high and lows in the cryptocurrency market, what are your next ethereum price predictions.

There are so many predictions about the price of ETH but i know for sure that ETH price will go high because ETH is very well known coin in the market and being use by many.
Ethereum price keeps going forward along with bitcoin and with its current price at $3,101, i know it will pump hard even more if this bullish movement will keep going. $4k may not only be our new target ATH but it might still go higher than $5k. So never underestimate ethereum potentials because as far as this crypto community is concern, ethereum might be able to overcome bitcoin's value one of these days.

Ethereum has definitely gained a wide usage of its smart network and if the demand will still grow upon releasing of the new projects in the market, then its value too will ultimately become high.
2035  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial freedom and success comes from knowledge on: August 26, 2021, 08:11:28 AM
Everyone acts as if the whole world is filled with people who are smart and rich. Yes there are smart rich people but there are also tons of idiot morons who are rich because their father was rich, and there are tons of smart people who are not rich neither.

So, I have to say that it is definitely not true that wisdom brings money, for many that is not right. I mean Trump took a whole wealth that his father left him and build an empire of bankruptcy and people STILL think he is a good business person, believed him for the past decade or so. Which is why I have to say that you do not have to smart to be rich, there are a billion examples of this going around in the world.
Smart people still have the advantage from those idiots but this doesn't mean that once you're a smart individual, you will definitely become financially free. It takes time to become one. You need to be more knowledgeable and skilled in managing your finances so you will be able to earn more profits rather than spending it on those non profit material stocks.

But i do believe that knowledge is power. You won't be able to improve yourself and become financially free if you don't know about money and how it will work and become profitable. So once you have gained knowledge that turn out to be skills, then  eventually it ill lead you to success.
2036  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Not everyone can be lucky when it comes to shitcoins on: August 25, 2021, 11:25:28 PM
Shitcoins is more highrisk than ordinary cryptocurrency.
You are right. Shitcoins have bigger risks because most of the shitcoins are created with unclear concepts and even with no team members' descriptions. The increase in the prices just relies on the pump-dump scheme. So, it is not surprising if the price can increase significantly in a short time, then the price will fall severely and no increase anymore. Even worse, those shitcoins can be delisted on the exchanges if no people are interested to buy them again.


Shitcoins will always be trash coins as they only hype and then suddenly fall. And the worst is that they will never recover again in most of the time. It's only a pump and dump scheme so anyone who tries investing in it should always think its pros and cons. Although some got lucky enough making huge profits from them, but in the end they are still bound to fall and drop prices again.

So it's definitely like gambling if you plan to invest in shitcoins or meme coins. They might only give you short term profits but in the long run, their value will only drop to its bottom so there's no way these meme coins make ideal for investment.
2037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Walmart hiring ad raises bitcoin price to $48,000 on: August 25, 2021, 10:31:38 PM
I don't think that this is the reason why the price moved that way, the news about Walmart and crypto is not new and i really doubt that they will be going to make bitcoin as a payment method, instead they probably will make their own digital currency, the price change that happened was random and not related to any news .
I also think that this not the main reason why bitcoin continues to move upward but this is also a small factor that contributes to its pump. So whatever news that attributes to crypto will have an effect to the market be it positive or negative. And this news about Walmart is definitely one of them.

If Walmart will create their new digital currency, i think it will still be a copy from bitcoin but the question is if people will patronize it or they just stick to its physical money. Crypto adoption even in big companies has already become mainstream and i know even if they come out creating their new one, bitcoin will still have a great impact on their new venture.
2038  Economy / Economics / Re: The reason to hodl bitcoin on: August 25, 2021, 03:43:36 PM
Here's a simple reason that I believe is why I am still hodling bitcoin, it's because what I have today might be double or even triple in months if not years or it could also be years plus it's a good way to make your money grow, having nothing to do with it, you can let it stay there for a long period of time and hopefully expect it to go up.
Bitcoin has all the advantages compared to fiat so its definitely a valid reason why i'm motivated to invest in bitcoin and keep hodling it. Well, given that it has already high value so it has all the chances to grow more along with time. Because the more developed bitcoin will be, the more chances people will embrace it making its demand grow more.

But investing in bitcoin does not only because of its expensive price but i know it will be the future of finance. Fiat might not be easily replaced by bitcoin but because of its high inflation, people will surely prefer to use bitcoin with less inflation compared to fiat.
2039  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador rolls out 200 Bitcoin ATMs in a bid to speed-up nationwide adoption on: August 24, 2021, 08:47:51 PM

What do you guys think about such a move by El Salvador?

Frankly speaking, this is such kind of news where we should feel excited about. We always wanted to see granular level adoption of bitcoin. Didn't we?

Any bitcoin er/supporter/user/miner/geek/buyer/seller has a dream to make this a reality, and I'm jealous to all people of El Salvador to make this dream into reality by their government. Whether it will be a problem for personal identity for some which bitcoiner are used to as it's designed for anonymous (pseudonymous actually) transaction, but that doesn't matter to me at all if this happen here in my place.
If you will be a resident in El Salvador, then you will experience living your dreams as El Salvador is a place for crypto enthusiasts. I think it all matters with the leadership of the head of a country which brings all the difference into its people's lives. And bitcoin adoption will make El Salvador a progressive place to live in.

For me, this news is definitely the biggest achievement for bitcoin as it has reached its ultimate goal to be used as a good currency and has become a mainstream nowadays. Although this changes will set to take place place by Sept.7 but the preparation is definitely very impressive. And its expected by the way once digitalization will be adopted.
2040  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you be able to take an additional work if required? on: August 24, 2021, 08:21:46 PM
Crypto basically saved my life in this case, I could make a lot more money if I had the time or the talent for it, but I do have one job and it is really difficult to get more. People who work multiple jobs are saints, I do not know how they could focus so much on one job and then get into another job, it is really a difficult one because we are talking about something that is crazy difficult to handle, for me even one job is not easy to handle all by itself, and I know people who had 3 jobs at one point which is why it is quite awesome for them to handle it.

But, the main problem stands that we should be able to live with one job, we should be able to do all the things a regular people need, a good house (even if rent) a decent car, good meal, send kids to school, have what you need at house, pay hospital bills if you need to, basically live like a decent human being, and that is such a big task with one job these days.
Exactly. The basic commodities these days have become so expensive so if we are just paid with a minimum wage, it will not be enough to cater to all the expenses. Even landing into a stable job is still not a guarantee that you won't be out of budget. It's still good to have another source of income or sidelines so you can live comfortably without worries for finances.

I'm glad i entered into crypto which is definitely a life saver for me because it has even paid mostly of my bills and able to sustain all my family's needs for survival. I think the first basic thing that we should conquer these days is survival especially in this time of pandemic wherein a lot of workers have become jobless due to closing of companies who mostly declare bankruptcy. In this crazy time, crypto has even started to excel not just as an investment alone but also as a reserved currency to fiat. And it is even a good source of income today because its offering a lot of jobs to jobless people.
