2101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bad feeling like a bomb is gonna go off on: February 13, 2023, 05:34:08 PM
I know Crypto had a heck of a run a week ago, and it is giving back which is normal. They have been getting beat real bad and its not stopping. I was on Coin Market Cap an hour ago, and looked at the stable coins. They are all except USDT well below a dollar. All were up 3 to 5% today and still wasnt up to a dollar. They were moving around like they were being fed to try and stay in their dollar spot. I got a bad feeling about today and/or tomorrow. Keep close eye out and react quickly. Hope I am wrong, but its strong enough feeling I just had to say something. Good luck!!    Brandon
As you have noticed those percentages gains/losses in a website like coinmarketcap, you don't have to worry about stable coins. We're actually experiencing some blood bath for the start of this week and that's normal. If you're feeling bad for today and tomorrow, that's okay.
That's the uncertainty that everyone feels when we see the market isn't going up and that's a normal encounter as you stay on this market.
A bomb or not based on your description, we've seen the market went up and recovered a bit so, it's expected that it shall go through a correction.
2102  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Will FTX make a comeback? on: February 13, 2023, 04:15:42 PM
It's a wise thing to return the funds of the affected customers but to think that it will make them comeback and trust FTX again, I don't think so. Even with the new management, it's having hard time recovering. We can have a comparison with those exchanges before that have been at the peak of their popular like bittrex, there's not that much anomaly with them but with just due time, they've lost what they've got.
So, with this issue on FTX, they need tremendous luck if they're thinking that getting back the trust of people will be that easy.

G2 made it look easy for their bracketing up to the finals. Congratulations on them! Still props to Heroic.

Now we can say for sure that G2 spent the best 600k$ on M0nesy and it seems it was the best transfer in modern CS:GO.
Signing him was truly one of the best deal that G2 has ever made. And with his age, there's still a lot way to go for the team. We all know that in esports including CSGO, that these young talents have got better eye and hand coordination until they get old. Well, he's such truly a child prodigy.
2104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin current price on: February 13, 2023, 10:07:30 AM
In the 2011 bitcoin price bearing was more than now but bitcoin was able to pulled through,
2011? That's 12 years from and obviously with inflation and financial ups and down, that means that price is better of the current time than of the past.

I believe this time is going to far more better than we have ever experience.
Yep, that's for sure. Next year is going to be the time where it might start. 2024 is when halving will happen and that's the most awaited event that every bitcoin investor is looking up to.
2105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The biggest casino property... on: February 12, 2023, 11:39:57 PM
I have just watched some video that Monaco also has the grandest casino and one of the contributors for their rich country. But as per my research, I don't see actual valuation of the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco. Although I've seen some revenue of theirs but compared to the net worth of Marina Bay Sands, it seems that it's higher than the one that's from Monaco.

If you ask me, I have no interest in spending my leisure time in places like this


Seriously, am I alone in this? Don't you guys think that playing online can be more enjoyable than inside of that monstrous modern prison?
We're thinking the same. Even if I have the capacity in doing so, I'll choose to spend it in more enjoyable way and more relaxing at home.
2106  Economy / Economics / Re: How we survive food shortages on: February 12, 2023, 10:45:41 PM
I don't understand what it does something to do with climate change and crypto. But let's tackle the food shortages, when the war with Ukraine and Russia has started, this is where it all started for the ingredients like wheat has come into shortage.
And it has impacted other food products that requires wheat and in result, the prices have increased a lot and then affected most food products that has it as a main ingredient for it to be made. But this problem is actually happening in some other nations already where people are starving to death and it's not just being spoken through the mainstream media because they're bias on it.

The healing process of the players depending on them and how severe the injury is. And yes, they've been through with it and they also healed afterwards.
I think we're all giving the same hype to the team because what we're all expecting is that they really are a strong and contender to hit the championship.
But hopefully, they'll justify that hype that we as fans are expecting and giving to them because there is no doubt on the posture of the team composed with these rosters.

He comeback from one of the worst injuries for a basketball player is, however, he is injured again so yeah, I do believed that as he aged he will be prone to be injured, just like what Steph is right now, wherein they are in the age bracket wherein their body is just giving in because of the wear and tear.

However, I believed that the next 2 years will be the biggest for Durant, it will be a measurement if he is going to slow down a bit or still the same KD when he comes back as a Phoenix player and more likely, after the All-Star Break.
I guess that's already attached to the players when they're aging. Even if they're really good at taking care of themselves and invested a lot to their physique, still no one can flee from an accident and injury. Just like Lebron who invests a lot of money from his physical body and still, he's not exempted from it. As for KD, we saw some once great players but then slowed down with their career due to being prone to injury and that has limited the offers that they should take.
2108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency industry challenges and impact on Bitcoin? on: February 12, 2023, 06:21:41 PM
What are the current challenges faced by the cryptocurrency industry, and how are they affecting the growth and adoption of Bitcoin?
The scams and fake influencers that are coming out. Although this isn't only for the crypto market but in everywhere, the scammers can be seen. With such, the idea of the bitcoin alone is connected to scams is what making the non coiners think that it's the only use of it.
This isn't new and even years before, that's what many have thought of it, aside from that the thought of it being utilized only in the dark market and deep web has been injected until now where non coiners think of it with something like that.
2109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 11, 2023, 10:23:25 PM
Many of us here have the same concern. No doubt that they certainly one of the strongest team now but that could really stop their reign if one of them becomes injure. KD is injury prone and that's not going to change the fact that he might get it again.
I guess they can manage to take care of this and they'll also be preserving most of these good players that they've got in the team. And that is because they're anticipating that they'll be making it to the finals or if not, close to the next stages.

Kevin Durant is likely to be prone to injuries and he can not do something about it because of his age, likely players that are 30 plus years are more prone to getting injured, but the good part about this is when those 4 players have combined and can play in a single game make no mistake the odds will be higher and the eye for that team for it to win is surely huge, those injuries are not permanent to the players and players would likely be healed of their injuries, so there is a chance for KD to play for the playoffs or the championship if Phoenix Suns would not be handed down with the Luka Special or if they could make it Through,
The healing process of the players depending on them and how severe the injury is. And yes, they've been through with it and they also healed afterwards.

2110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum cofounder :Vitalik Buterin donates 99 ether to Ahbap Earthquake Support on: February 11, 2023, 05:11:39 PM
Yeah, he has done this before and it's not just a few amounts of money and ether but it's like a life savings of an individual since he's got really a lot of Ethereum on hold.
Well, I've done charities before and still doing it silently and I don't want to speak about it because if ever I do good deeds such as donating or giving to charities, I want to keep it hidden and silent since that's the essence of helping for me. But at some point, when I see huge names having these news, it's a must to broadcast it so that it also encourages others to help.
2111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 11, 2023, 09:10:42 AM
If the chemistry between these players is successful, they can become champions. but my fear is the players who will get injured when playoff time comes. The Suns have a good squad right now, but if one of these names is injured, the number of good players who can replace him in the team is low. So they can run into problems.
It will be an exciting playoff, I hope they manage to win the ring. The retirement age is now very close Smiley

2112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people don't adopt Bitcoin - they don't understand Expected Value on: February 11, 2023, 06:18:57 AM
The interviewer keeps on talking about the potential win that the risk takers will take. He's keep on highlighting that but he could be on the wrong place where people were conversative with their 10 bucks. He chosen those people that are not into risk taking and I understand his point of explanation about gaining potentially more than the expected value that the bettor shall lose. But he should have tried to go to casinos and ask people from there and for sure, they'll take the bet.
And relating this loss aversion with the bitcoin adoption is that, people might be relaying to their experiences in the past, it could possibly be that they've been a victim of sort of online scam and that's why they're no eager to know more about it. Whether it's going to be profitable as an asset or not, what's on their mind is only thing and that is they'll never be a victim again of anything that's related to online investments.
They'll only be interested on it if they see people who tried it first that has became profitable and then that thought of losing might change later on.

2114  Economy / Economics / Re: Dubai is good example to other countries on: February 09, 2023, 08:13:30 PM
The diversity of the country(UAE) makes it a really good place.

And what i like most nobody dont dare to talk things like food shortages or energy Crisis or economic lifestyle i hate low life i hate poverty i hate poor and middleclass lifestyle so in Dubai my mind can relax Im surrounded only by Nice things.
I haven't been there but that's one thing that isn't being talked because they've got a good working government. That's a good example that if there's a working government, there is for sure the uplifting of the entire economy not just by the place but by the entire country. And with what I have read from them, they're also trying to adopt and be a center for crypto adoption soon.
2115  Economy / Economics / Re: Untouchable Savings: Do you have it? on: February 09, 2023, 01:30:38 PM
When I was still younger, I have thought about having all of your money in the savings bank means that you're wise and you'll be living well off until I grow older but I was all wrong. That stock knowledge that has been taught to the most of us, there's more than that.
They've never told about inflation and the idea that you'll get rich by having more money is what matters as the main topic related to finances. But then, dealing with the actual thing, inflation, savings and investments, it's truly a broader thing. Now, I've got not that much savings as most of my money are scattered in different assets and investments.
2116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how many times have you intended to stop gambling on: February 09, 2023, 09:12:15 AM
If you are that someone who doesnt still accept that he's that not able to control his gambling activities or which it would be considered to be an addiction then you wont really be stopping gambling no matter what.
You might be able to avoid but you would be still playing in the end because you hadn't been able to accept and determined yourself on quitting.Losing is inevitable and very common on gambling on which everyone
would really be experiencing it.It does really only differ on how someone could be able to tolerate that kind of losing situation which they would neither be ending up on being impulsive
or they would just simply move on since they are already anticipating or expecting it.
Yes, you can avoid but you'll still go back at a point of time that you can no longer control yourself. There's the itch that no one can stop it and as for someone's experience, you'll get to that point where you give up your control and you'll just proceed because you want to gamble.

I guess that’s the spirit of gambling to keep our excitement and stay enthusiastic despite of the losses we endure at the end of the day. That’s the reason why gambling should be a good source of entertainment rather than to see it as another source of income. And yes, I have promised a lot of times to finally quit from gambling but look at me now, still gambling with the amount I can afford to lose. And for me that’s never an issue, as long as I’m still responsible of my losses and I still manage myself not to fall for deep addiction in gambling.
Yeah, we hear it a lot of time that it's just good for entertainment and not a source of income. And whichever is the reason from the two when someone who's able to quit and then played again, it's their decision to gamble for fun or for that disagreed reason by many which is doing it for the money.
2117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High Roller Tailing on: February 09, 2023, 07:54:56 AM
I think that he won't do it anymore as he has stated that it was unsuccessful and didn't do him good. But if he still wants to, your idea is a good pattern to follow and only those with good winning percentage and accuracy should be followed.
Anyway, if it's clear that this won't be good in the long run and he's got some other plans to do aside from tailing the high rollers. Do the strategy that you're more confident and you think will work more than this strategy that's being tested out.
I don't think giving up will do any good maybe it was just a coincidence too that the one he trails lost for the day. As I've said, you can try it few times and observe if it will be good. Sometimes it's not bad to rely on others but yes being confident on your bets will just make you gain experience even on lose or winning side.
Well, sometimes giving up is the best option when you just keep on dwelling with losses and you can't attain it anymore. You don't see some light from it and that's why just to give up that discovered strategy is a good thing to do.
I agree with all of you've said but it all depends to the results and as per OP, he said that it's not working to him anymore and that's why he just have to leave and try something else that might work for him.
2118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 09, 2023, 06:36:40 AM
LeBron James breaking the record was the biggest event in the NBA in recent times, and they celebrated it with a good organization. It was interesting that such a ceremonial celebration was held while the game was still going on, and I think we can only see such a thing in the NBA. I don't know much about stopping and celebrating such a match in competitive games.
I don't think this record will be broken for a long time. It's not easy to play with such active and high-level statistics for 20 years. LeBron James really deserves all the respect. Congrats!
That's mad respect for the OKC as well for giving the way for Lebron's celebration despite the game was theirs. It took someone for 40 years until Kareem's record has been broken. We will see the next generation breaking that record of his, who knows if it's one or two of his kids soon should they pursue their NBA career. No doubt that the genes of their father is on them and such athletic body and physique is certainly on them now, it's just going to depend on how they're going to use and maintain it.

2119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Extremely Holding on: February 08, 2023, 10:08:08 PM
If this isn't some extreme form of holding, I wonder what it is then. According to the Twitter handle of Bitcoin Archive, 412Bitcoin worth $9.6m was moved from an address that was dormant for 11years. That means the owner just bought and "forgot" it there. While for some of us who have been holding for the past 3 months, it's seems like a century.This is gentle nudge that if someone has done it then you can(that is, if this is your goal).
How long do you think you can hold?
I can hold as much as I can and I can also sell a portion if I needed to. I won't make myself comfortable if I sell all that I've got, there has to be some remaining balance of my holdings in BTC so that I'm still prepared for the future.
11 years is a long wait and that guy probably just remembered it once in a while or it's just another wallet that he's got while using and spending the other wallets that he's got during the past bull runs. Anything is of possibility with these dormant wallets. But the main thing is, they're all patient and if we're all patient too, we'll be rewarded soon.
2120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how many times have you intended to stop gambling on: February 08, 2023, 09:17:30 PM
Gambling has become an everyday thing for some people and this act has lead to serious addiction which is not good. When gambling we should understand that we are just playing for fun. Most people i know around always take gambling as a very serious issue and i have this particular friend that always complains to me how he has stopped gambling but from no where you still see him gambling again. Me myself am a sesonal gambler and i only gamble on the sport i know which is soccer, i think exploration of new gambling games you are familiar with also causes this repeated feeling of always quitting gambling. I just want to know if this phrase is common among everyone or its just he catch phrase whenever you experiences a big loss.
There's a saying about being a gambler, stays to someone's blood until he or she fully changed. We find something in gambling that makes us happy and even if we're losing, it doesn't matter. As long as we're satisfied and our cravings to gamble has been given, that's the only thing that we want to see. And to answer the question about how many times did I attempted to quit, well, they were like tons of times and I can't count them. Whenever I lose, I'll tell that I quit but tomorrow I'll be back so I'm sure that something like happens to all of us.
