2061  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If Musk doesn't tweet Dogecoin, can it still soar? on: May 21, 2021, 06:26:53 AM
It's a community meme coin, the holders have the power, I think must just take advantage of the situation, since he is a well-known figure maybe he just bought a lot of dogecoin and fuel the pump for him to earn money just like BTC, this person takes advantage of some traders who just follow the flow of trading, with that he pumps the coin until the price he likes and take profit of it, the coin really don't need Elon, seen people get broke because of this, the coin can pump even without Elons help.

Indeed, he uses his popularity to manipulate the market. He knows that a newbie would easily follow the hype and that makes him richer. He can't be serious with his statement that Bitcoin uses more power and they'll stop accepting it, that's a way to dump the market and he was successful doing that.

Doge is still serving, in fact, it still has a good price but without the success of bitcoin, eventually, Doge will fall.
Expect some bad news about Doge coming from Elon, he might dump it, lol.
2062  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Student Coin Speculation/Discussion Thread on: May 21, 2021, 06:10:57 AM
One thing I love about STC is it can be traded from both ETH and WAVES chain.
I also like this because with the two options, people can choose which one they prefer to use. Not all people want to use ETH chain, some prefer to use another chain like Waves because of some reasons. This is also one of the factors why STC is successful to get people's attention so far. I hope the team of Student coin project can improve again this advantage.


STC is not a new coin, they're already here even before the last bull run IIRC, so they have planned everything and they continue raising money to make this a big project, I admire what the team has done as they don't give up despite the times when the market was still bearish, and now they are enjoying the success together with the investors.
2063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the motive behind the anti gambling campaign on: May 20, 2021, 12:44:03 PM
I don't respect people who are anti-gambling as I myself am a gambler, that's an insult to me.

The problem here is not gambling, but it's the gambler who lacks knowledge as they become irresponsible in gambling.
When we lose money in gambling, it's not gambling that should be blamed, but us, because we are the ones who is managing ourselves.

haven't we thought that the gambling industry is also contributing taxes to the government we all benefit from?

If we don't know that, then there's no surprise we will hate gambling.
2064  Economy / Economics / Re: Tesla stops car purchases with Bitcoin on: May 20, 2021, 12:16:22 PM
According to the latest information. Tesla has stopped buying cars with bitcoin. Billionaire Elon Musk announced on Twitter that Tesla officially "suspended buying cars with Bitcoin" because of concerns that Bitcoin mining is adversely affecting the environment. This has had a huge impact on the bitcoin market.
That's their way to manipulate the price.. you can ask yourself, they are a big company, a successful one and you think they didn't know that in the first place? They are trying to make people look stupid here, so they can make easy money.
2065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - June 19 on: May 20, 2021, 11:57:59 AM
Ok now I know where I heard George Kambosos, he used to be Manny Pacquiao's sparring partner, helping him prepare for the Lucas Matthysse fight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8_4hkOH6OU

I also remember that Porter Jr was once Manny's sparring partner then he became a champion. I'm not saying that Kambosos might upset Lopez here, but having train and seen how Manny train, this guys has somewhat get the blue print on how to become a future champion. With Manny's discipline and hardwork they have seen it from the legend himself.

We will see that in the coming fight, he might get some advice from Manny to help him win in this big fight. It's a big upset if he will win this fight, maybe as big as the upset win of Lopez against Lomachenko. Most of us here favored Lopez to win, so most of us are also wrong if Kambosos will win.
2066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 20, 2021, 08:28:05 AM
I guess they will still lose against the Grizzlies.

What are your thoughts on this game guys?
Brooks of the Grizzlies is something, he dominated the game against the Spurs but I doubt the GSW will let him slide like that.
Two things that needs to be done by the Warriors team.
Watch the replay of the Spurs vs Grizzlies game and identify who needs to be defended well. Then their own against the Lakers and see what they are missing on why and how a big deficit was taken back just like that.

I bet the Grizzlies will be the underdogs here.


This season is his best season based on his stats https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/brookdi01.html

I already know him since he was playing with the same team and he was really good and good thing they have Morant now their superstar that help the team to win more games and has a chance to compete in the playoffs.

Last season they fall short, can they finally make it this time or the Warriors' pride will hammer them?
2067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 20, 2021, 08:09:23 AM

On the other hand, Steph Curry is so phenomenal this season and his the best 3 point shooter of all time IMO.

Warriors reach this level because of Curry's good season, but as a team, they are not as good as the others who have good reserves. Curry was not scoring well at the start but he was able to adjust, unfortunately, he cannot just win by carrying his team, some of his teammates lack contribution in this game.

I guess they will still lose against the Grizzlies.

What are your thoughts on this game guys?
2068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC price VS gambling on: May 19, 2021, 09:42:38 PM
What helps against this? See gambling for what it is: a great way to entertain yourself and at the same time have a chance to win something ... but don't chase luck, it won't end well.
Exactly, in gambling the approach should be slow and accurate, you can't be too emotional as you will likely end up losing, and much worse if you will lose more than you are supposed to because you become greedy and you don't notice anymore that you are taking a high risk without analyzing it.

The house edge is the thing that makes a casino profitable, but it's not said that they always win and we don't have a chance to win.
We, gamblers lose in the long run while they enjoy the opposite.

According to Tesla, the reason why they are not anymore accepting bitcoin is because of this reason.
Elon Musk says Tesla will no longer accept bitcoin due to fossil fuel use

But this article came out and their study proved that Banking system consumes two times more energy than Bitcoin: Research

So what are your thoughts on this, is Elon still credible that we should follow his tweet?
Those are just lame excuses but for sure he did it on purpose on indirect way just because he get bored in BTC and find another place for him to troll on which is on DOGE coin.

There are even rumors on creating his own coin.This man had done soo much noise into this market and regarding into the question if i would ever believe him, then when i do trust up this man?  Cheesy

That's not far from happening, he might create his own because he is so ambitious, and we have to expect that. Now, with all the dumps we are seeing, can we still expect that once he made his announcement on his own, is it going to pump?

If he will make his own that means he will have to leave other altcoins to market his own altcoins, and that means living DOGE from his shitcoin.  Smiley

DOGE followers will then hate him.  Cry
2070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - June 6 on: May 19, 2021, 01:51:46 PM
Logan Paul has started putting out a lot of boxing content including a recent video where he fights four of the Gronkowski brothers at the same time and manages to get the best of each one. I am hoping and I believe that Logan is going to surprise some people against Mayweather. He has clearly been putting in the work to become a better boxer and I think it is going to show. I’m still hoping for a KO by either side, but I think Logan will most likely lose by decision.
The kind of training Logan did is nothing compared to the kinds of training Mayweather did back when he was still active in his professional career, and also, the experience of Mayweather is the key factor why he will win this fight easily, if the result is the opposite, then I believe the fight is getting rig for a purpose which would benefit Mayweather more.

Agreed on that, by and large, regarding both  experience and footwork Mayweather is superior of Logan. However one have to take into account their age gap. This 9-rounds fight won’t be an easy walk for Mayweather. I would bet on Logan, provided that there is no bias on the part of those who will judge the coming fight.

I don't actually see that this fight will reach 9 rounds if it's not Mayweather dictating the tempo. It will only reach 9 rounds if Logan will avoid to engage and he will just run in the ring while Mayweather will hunt him all night.

This market dump still continues, how big the effect of Elon Musk anti bitcoin announcement?

I believe the price will dump but not this fast, we are just trading at 50k this week and now we are already down trading at $30k+...
I wonder if we will see more dip from now, this is a mess, people are panicking and we might see an early bear market.

So many thoughts right now.  Frankly, I'm tired of the narrative that this is just he way it is and it's all part of the deal.  At some point, this has to stop or crypto will never be taken seriously.

Elon is a piece of shit. 

Crypto was already taken seriously, we would not reach $2 trillion marketcap if people are not serious.
The thing is, crypto is still volatile and easy to manipulate, that has been its norms and newbies are usually the one who will pay for the price.

With what is happening now, bitcoin nearly dump $29k... I'm sure newbies are already having a problem now because they are pancking.

2073  Economy / Economics / Re: Tesla stops car purchases with Bitcoin on: May 17, 2021, 06:27:10 AM
Long term speaking I don't f******* care about what Elon says, nonetheless I'm very much pissed off by the the words of a guy who is clearly allowing a huge market manipulation which will go without consequences. The guys should shut up and avoid saying one thing today and another the day after.
I repeat, no concerns long term, for what it's worth he can sell everything the market will buy given the supply shortage.
For someone that is supposedly a genius I never thought I will see so many dumb moves, I really think he is trying to manipulate the market and this is a problem as I have no doubt that if this continues and he keeps being that obvious then eventually he is going to face a few lawsuits, I say this because posting a few memes is fine and should not be considered an attempt to manipulate the market but announcing that your company is accepting bitcoin and then one month later it does not seems like an attempt of manipulation to me.
They already know it from the very start, their reason for not accepting bitcoin anymore is just unreasonable, so you are right, this is just a pure manipulation as they have already profited on bitcoin and their altcoins investment and they know it's due for the dump.

Maybe by the next bull run they are already preparing for something big to influence the market again, but hopefully, we will not anymore fall on that kind of hype, let the market grow in its natural way as that would result in a stronger foundation.
2074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Manny Pacquiao vs Mikey Garcia in Dubai on July 2021? on: May 17, 2021, 05:56:22 AM
So it seems that Manny has a lot of advisers, I do hope that Pacquiao has one single point of contact, let's say Sean Gibbons, but Sean is in the US and Pacquiao is in the Philippines. So communications could be one hindrance that's why this fight is in jeopardy.

That should not be an issue. Manny just need to agree on the purse and the opponent and I guess Sean Gibbons know him enough and therefore the requirement of meeting in person is not there. BTW, Gibbons recently joked that Julio César Chávez could be a potential opponent for Manny Pacquiao. As we all know... the main issue here is that Chávez is a bit old.. He will be 59 in a couple of months.  Grin

BTW, the latest statement from Mikey Garcia is that he is still "hopeful" about a UAE fight with Manny Pacquiao.

UAE seems to be a good spot for big boxing event now, just recently, Fury announce that the Fury vs Joshua fight is gonna happen in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, so probably we will see this fight in that country as well, or maybe in Dubai, what do you think?
2075  Economy / Speculation / Re: Abolute bottom of Bitcoin? on: May 14, 2021, 02:09:51 PM
I guess $15k.. actually, we will never know and we don't know if bitcoin has already reached its ATH as it's possible it will again pump and make a  new ATH. All we can do now is carefully observed the market, once it falls and it will result in a bear market, then eventually we will see how people will panic which would result in a very low price.

If we will base in the past bull run, we could reach $10k when the bear season comes IMO.
2076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 14, 2021, 01:47:25 PM
Dallas vs Toronto.

Toronto has no chance to be in the playoffs, so I don't think they will play hard here.
Dallas should win here as they need this win in order to keep their rank.

However, I'm quite concerned about the line, it's too high, -13.5 now. and though I believe they will win, will they win the handicap as well?
I need your opinion on this pick, will I go for the spread or will just go for the total?

Dallas will be with a full squad here while the Raptors might be resting their starters so if that happens the Mavs will cover this spread.

The dangerous thing here is some Raptors veteran would suit and ruin the party, i mean the Mavs will win but it's not a blow out game.

I usually stay away from this game if there are lot of uncertainty so better go for the total.


I agree with you, it's not worth betting on this high handicap as these bench players who will be given more playing time here will also play hard. And once the Mavericks also have a comfortable lead, they might sit their starters if they are already guaranteed with a win and that might result in Raptors covering the spread. Betting take the total, but I can't say if its gonna be over or under.
2077  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Student Coin Speculation/Discussion Thread on: May 14, 2021, 12:23:42 PM
This coin has great potential but it needs to be listed in a bigger exchange so the it could grow further considering how much coins they have sold in presale it needs more than just ku coin.
if this coin can get listed in binance then the price gonna soar since that's where all the capital is going, doge that has really high total supply could make it to almost few dollars in binance though I know it's not really because of binance but just see the trading volume there.
really looking up for binance listing for this coin.

Let's take it one step at a time, speaking of big exchanges, I know Binance is the biggest but STC already listed in Binance and Bithumb, both exchanges are huge and it can help STC to get a decent trading volume, and when this project will become more successful, over time we will see this listed in Binance.
2078  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I Predict $20,000 for dogecoin in 5years time on: May 14, 2021, 11:59:51 AM
Dogecoin has been different kinds of low level names in the past and in the present but the altccoin seem to have woken up to prominence and maybe it could keep sustaining the move as some altccoins like bnb, xrp, Ada, ethereum have done. Despite the name calling, the growth of dogecoin has really gone pass many so called promising coins and it is now at the 7th spot in crypto ranking.

Therefore, maybe dogecoin can get to $20,000 and above in 5 years time  Grin Grin just like this user predicted the price of bitcoin in the beginning


Okay lets make some mathematics on here ... 129,582,999,369 (total supply) x $20,000 per coin = 2,591,659,987,380,000 total cap.

It wont be bad to take a look into fiat total marketcap: https://coinmarketcap.com/fiat-currencies/

Impossible even im dreaming on with this thing to happen.So better expect this one!

Nice calculation dude, makes it realistic, hopefully, these people who are hoping DOGE to reach this price will wake up as it will never happen.
This is basic information, DOGE and BITCOIN do not have the same supply,  DOGE has billions hence it's impossible to value that price.

The hype is really huge, we can blame this to Elon Musk.  Grin
2079  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you guys happy if bitcoin will dropped to $10k? Why? on: May 14, 2021, 11:42:47 AM
To answer the question, I would be happy that it will go down at 10k since I can buy a lot of bitcoin at a lower price, that's like the opportunity that some of the users have been talking about regarding buying bitcoin and profiting a lot in the future.

Good luck with that, it's a long bull run, we are witnessing something that might not happen for a while again after it will correct and turn into a bear maket. Judging on the current price, it looks like Bitcoin will not fall at $10k again, but, with big market panic selling, anything is possible.

I haven't seen the game, what mistakes did Covington committed? Did you foul Booker in the closing seconds?

Here's the specific video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bGiLFL3UGA

The score was 117-116.. Portland lead by 1 point, if he make that two free throw, the only chance of the suns is an OT, but he missed that two free throw.
