2101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Police Destroy 1,069 Bitcoin Miners With Steamroller In Malaysia on: July 20, 2021, 04:48:54 AM
I think I saw this already in another thread somewhere,,, happened last week.

Is crypto banned in Malaysia?

If miners doing it illegally and stealing electricity or any illegal activity that against their country just to continue mining, that deserves to be them seizing their mining rigs or mining equipment and being destroyed, I remember this the same case here in my country when there's a backdoor or smuggled cigarette that being seized they destroy them all so that didn't use anymore.

We might do mining without stealing electricity and might we're fine if crypto doesn't ban in our country.

This has nothing to do with crypto being banned it is about stealing electricity,,, which is a crime in any country. Like in Iran where this is rampant, government makes a big subsidy for power to people, but if you steal it, then it makes them mad:)

I always think destroying illegal things is stupid though.

Not only with these kind of friendly matches, this kind of odds can be seen with the matches in which one team is strong and the opponent is an average team. Mostly we can see this happen with the cricket matches and on tennis matches. During my early days of gambling I just look for the odds and used to place bets. In that manner I've won more matches.

Duh! Anyone can do this any games, friendly or not, cricket or not. Friendlies for me are quite difficult except for the team you actually follow properly and also for big teams that the news is forthcoming,,, like with Spurs you can even follow social media and find out the team setup and formation. Most important to know is whether or not the team is playing to win or playing to experiment.
2103  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sportsbet.io - Main sponsor of Southampton FC on: July 19, 2021, 02:55:01 PM
I have been in the sponsor business for a very long time, I have worked with football teams in other leagues, I have worked even with formula 1 team once, I have worked with companies that had sponsorships though not from the part that receive the sponsorship, I worked with the ones that gave it. I can tell you that there is a slight chance that Arsenal official gambling partner "may" cost a lot of money and could be a lot higher price than being main sponsor of Southampton.

I am not saying that it is like that, it is definitely not guaranteed thing because gambling partner is not even half of what the main sponsorship is, like for example main sponsor of arsenal could be 2x at least (could be even more) than the gambling partner. However the difference between Southampton and Arsenal is about that big, so there could be a slight similarity in the price.

I guess when I said "bigger" I also meant more visibility and more chance to promote it. Gambling partner could be very big I agree,,, but it is hard to promote and maybe because of regulations also it is just easier to promote a shirt/jersey. Besides,,, if you ask anyone about any big team, about their sponsors, you will most likely remember what is on their main shirt as main sponsor:)
2104  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Binance ceasing support for stock tokens on: July 19, 2021, 02:07:05 PM
In case people did not understand what this is,,, just imagine Robinhood or similar apps. If you never know, just download one of those free to play games and install and play, and when the ads come you will eventually see one app that lets you buy and sell (trade) stocks.

But these are not real stocks of course, just stock tokens:)

They will figure out another way do not worry!

I hope the team should consider another exchange. Why not binance? They don't need to shell out big money here. As far as I know, the listing fee in binance is like a donation as they are giving it to charity. They are not requiring certain fee but just a donation. So if the team behind it believes that their project is very strong, they can apply this to binance. This project has high potential to make it big. So don't go to shady exchanges because that's not very good on the image of the project.

As I said above though, why not just go on a DEX and make your markets there? Save the money you would normally pay for listing, and make more actual development work or spend it on good long-term marketing to bring in more users.

What is the point of having more exchanges anyway,,, pay money and then get more speculators that do not give your project any value:)
2106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why altcoins are rampant in the market on: July 19, 2021, 12:21:34 PM
I don't agree with you. You can buy a fraction of a bitcoin, so if you can only afford $100 of BTC, then buy $100 of BTC if you believe in the crypto.
Alt coins, in my opinion, try to solve an issue that BTC cannot do or is to expensive to do. Healthy competition is also great.

I honestly still cannot believe that after all these years,,, people still believe in this "BTC is too expensive to buy nonsense". Ok, fine, yes if you want to buy tiny amounts lower than $100 it is quite difficult to find exchanges who will do this without charging you crazy fees to withdraw BUT it is still possible with P2P.

Altcoins the costs are actually the same when people realize it. Slippage is horror.
2107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 19, 2021, 12:05:05 PM
Tottenham's key player at the moment is Harry Kane. The team depends on him. If Harry Kane leaves Tottenham, Tottenham's performance will be worse. So Tottenham doesn't want Harry Kane to join any other team. But Harry Kane needs a good squad. Manchester City is the perfect and suitable place for Harry Kane. Both would benefit if Kane moved to Manchester City.

This season, I really hope we stop talking about Kane and put to bed but I understand he is being discussed because the situation is unclear. But the new coach has already said Kane is ours and he is not for sale. So I think that should be that. New coach comes in and says something like that,,, if Kane leaves it is bad for club, for manager, for player.

If Kane wants to leave he should do it soon,,, after he holidays anyway:)
2108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pride and prejudice against cryptocurrency investors on: July 19, 2021, 10:46:32 AM
I totally do not get your friends who work in internet,,, why are they talking about mining only when Crypto industry is far bigger than that (and besides, which internet worker these days actually knows how the internet infrastructure really works unless they are IT engineers). And who needs to know either?

Anyway,,, I think it is silly being prejudiced to any job. Crypto people are terribly prejudiced towards banking jobs, when they do not realize 99% of shitcoins and even Bitcoin is dependent on it in most places.
2109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 19, 2021, 10:08:26 AM
A shocking £50m deal for Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski is reportedly being planned by Chelsea. His statistics at least demonstrate the fact that he is a certified goal machine for for Bayern. It might work out, but foreign players always struggle in the premier league. Also, he's getting old, where the EPL needs a young speedster to lead their attack. Although this might be a nice move, Chelsea fans demand to sign a young striker.

The last time the Sun was ever correct in this sort of rumor,,, is who the heck remembers?Smiley

Chelsea are asking to be laughed at if they first of all think Lewie wants to go there and secondly if they think that price tag is enough for him. It is not just about the risk of foreign players (German players to Chelsea seem especially bad) but it is the physique of EPL that very few are prepared for. People talk about it all the time but for some reason players seem to think nothing of it until they go and play there:)
2110  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why not fix Bitcoin directly? on: July 19, 2021, 08:15:31 AM
When Satoshi Nakamoto first proposed Bitcoin, the first public criticism it received was around its scalability potential. Fast forward to 2021, and according to many supporters and doubters, scalability is still Bitcoin's biggest problem.

However, with the rise of institutional interest and technology, a solution to the above-mentioned problems was proposed, called the Lightning Network.
The Lightning Network solves the scalability of Bitcoin as a secure off-chain settlement. Why not fix Bitcoin directly?

I thought the first public criticism was the "anonymity" which of course later on people understood to be pseudo anonymous only,,, and all those Silk Road people who got caught finally understood this truly well:)

But anyway scalability is not Bitcoin's biggest problem but privacy still is (which is why the big important progress was taproot).

Segwit directly fixed Bitcoin and LN also,,, I do not see the point of asking?Smiley

For ether transfers 20k gas limit and for eth tokens 200k, it always uses gas as necessary so you don't lose extra even if you put more numbers.

You can do it the other way around and just pay a higher fee and set lower limits:)

By the way speaking of,,, why are you guys not on one of those Layer 2 stuff like Polygon yet?

Or better still, jump onto one of those AMM aggregators like PlasmaFinance of 1inch (then you get connected to all those other Unis/Sushis anyway plus get Polygon's advantages.

Personally still think defi is a bit nonsense but I do like the 2 cent fees on all these new platforms.
2112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will dogecoin drop to $0.2 again? on: July 19, 2021, 06:52:17 AM
Well today DOGE is above 18 cents and it does not look good.

There's a major dump, if we look at the top 10 worst performers in the last 7 days in CMC, Doge is included with -21%, that's a huge drop and for sure investors will panic, I'm talking about the top 100 coins top 10 worst performers.

Maybe the hype is already over, DOGE is going back to below $0.1 or the price where the hype started.

What would Elon do now that his hype is not effective anymore?

Indeed a major major dump,,, and even when it recovered a little yesterday you can see that the strength is so weak, I think 500 satoshi will be definitely breached if Bitcoin does not somehow try and break 35k this week.

They hype is not already over, still a lot of players and Musk will still want to try pump. But the initial bubble will be extremely hard to replicate.
2113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why green bitcoin mining has become a trend? on: July 19, 2021, 06:20:38 AM
Not just for mining but for everything. Now I see even websites are saying they are proud to host on zero carbon servers and all that. Very trendy indeed.

I think the idea of green is quite nonsense when it is just green for the sake of green. Not every country is privilege enough to have renewable resources. Think about that.

If everyone is forced to use clean and green, then not everyone is able to enjoy.
2114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will dogecoin drop to $0.2 again? on: July 16, 2021, 03:54:39 PM
Well today DOGE is above 18 cents and it does not look good. Probably it will drop even further because Bitcoin is losing ground. We all know DOGE is actually trading against satoshi and now headed towards 500 satoshi. If it goes below that we may be seeing 100 satoshi doge again before the end of the year.

We’re always looking for collaborations.

Thank you for the response. I think there are now a few players in this space but the ideas has been tried before and did not work well, maybe you guys find the secret ingredient. It will probably be email as I have long ago abandoned Discord and Telegram (you can blame ICOs for that) although I will come on TG to perhaps seek you out. Will get on the newsletter to see also.
2116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Taxes on gambling send the right message? on: July 16, 2021, 01:42:15 PM
This is an interesting topic/point you're making here.  I live in the United States which has been rapidly becoming more open to legalized gambling.  My state just this past year legalized gambling. If something is legalized, then why should it be double or triple taxed just because some people deem it to be bad or harmful or whatever.  It really is stupid when you think about it.

In the US it is definitely a case of morality I believe,,, thanks to the large religious influence here. But as I said above, this is a vice we are talking about. Gambling and alcohol are known as vices, because they also bring a large impact on society (let us admit it we all know some guy who gambled his life away).

It is not about being bad or good. The extra taxes help to pay for rehab which the state bears as a result of vice consequence.
2117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 16, 2021, 01:02:24 PM
Exactly with leaving PSG he want to proof his career become better, do you know what label from Ligue 1? many people said Ligue 1 is farmer league because only PSG always dominance although last year they failed from Lille.  Exactly when play for La Liga team or Primer League we will know how the quality from Mbappe he can play well or competitive league or not.

Even in the period that Monaco won it for a while it was still suffering from the reputation that only rich boys play in the champions' team. But yes, Mbappe is a young talent and he needs to prove himself. If he spends another few years at PSG he will never grow. Champions League is the only place they can really struggle but that is not enough in a season to truly develop.

China ban moved the industry OUT, that is all. Once the miners set up elsewhere, and the Chinese government realizes all the income they have lost from possible tax revenue and electricity charges, then they might change their mind.

It is clear that when they sell, the price falls) But in any case, there is some reason that causes mass sales of coins. It is quite possible that someone decided to buy a yacht and sold 1000 BTC at the market price, which led to panic sales. The second option is when whales use negative news to lower the price of the coin.
And when the Chinese government becomes loyal to the miners again, this will certainly lead to a short-term increase in the price of the coin.

Trust me,,, people sell much more than 1000 BTC every day on a single exchange. Nobody who was that amount of Bitcoin deposits it on an exchange and sells it all, he would suffer from so much slippage he would probably get 20% less than what it was worth, and then again these days that 1k BTC is like a drop in the ocean.

Forget China, they are the regular dump cycle masters:)
2119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Odds on Ballon D'or on: July 16, 2021, 11:08:24 AM
compared to several other candidates, such as Lukaku, Kante and also lewandoski of course messi is the favorite to win this year, the extraordinary performance that Messi has shown with Barcelona and the Argentina national team makes him deserve to be in first place and this is shown by each individual achievement as well as the team so far, unfortunately this year we don't seem to be able to see competition between Messi and Ronaldo in the race for the Golden Ball trophy, because ronaldo was knocked out of the top five winners of the 2021 Ballon d'Or  Cry

Here are the candidates for the 2021 Ballon d'Or:

1. LIONEL MESSI ( No Club / Argentina )

2. ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI ( Bayern Muchen / Polandia)

3. JORGINHO ( Chelsea / Italy )

4. N'GOLO KANTE ( Chelsea / France )

5. ROMELU LUKAKU ( Inter Milan / Belgium )

WOW this is news to me,,, not the biggest fan of Ronaldo but surely he deserves to be in the top 5 not just because of what he achieved but what he means to his club and his country,,, and the fact that he is a role model to be at the top of his game at his age of 36!

Of course all the guys listed here are great, especially for me Kante. But Jorginho, no doubt a good talent but he is not Ballon D'or material yet I would say.

Not to be a party pooper but I thought LA Token was a proven scam already? This was even in 2019 research from one of the partners at Cointelligence IIRC,,, that the representatives of LA Token were found to be scamming and faking volume. I would stay away from an exchange with their bad reputation. Even if you see a boost on this platform you cannot be sure it is real (or rather, you can be sure it is fake).
It's really bad to be true, I hope your words can be a driving force for them to seek better. After all, it's for their good in the eyes of other traders. This Mogul and all his achievements so far, getting great sales, I think funds shouldn't be a problem to list their tokens on a high class exchange, for them.

I hope so too,,, I am just tired of seeing exchanges and other services with proven bad track record still getting away with it. Again, I do not mean to pour negative news I just hope people are aware of what theya re getting themselves into it. Maybe getting listed is always something communities demand but sometimes better to just DEX list than to list on a CEX with questionable ethics.
