2121  Economy / Economics / Re: If you can get paid through cryptocurrency, do you still choose fiat currency? on: July 28, 2021, 09:53:13 PM
If my company gave me the option to start being paid out in cryptocurrency, unless it was bitconnect then I would opt for fiat money.  Just Kidding, but on a serious note, I would likely accept maybe ten to fifteen percent of my salary paid out in bitcoin.  Unfortunately at the moment I just have too many bill that have to be paid but can't be paid in bitcoin, otherwise I would take a higher percentage.

If I had the chance to be paid in whatever currency I like I would choose 50% fiat and 50% crypto currencies. If the  companies already pays crypto we co an save some fees. Unfortunately I am still repaying a student loan in fiat money, so for the foreseeable future I still need some fiat income.
For me, maybe i will prefer 30% from bitcoin and 70% from fiat. I have to buy most of my basic needs in fiat so i should never ran out of cash. With my little portion in bitcoin, it will serve as my investment so that i will have more chances to earn more too when bitcoin price starts to surge again with its new ATH.

But when time comes that bitcoin will be already accepted worldwide, then i will be very glad to accept all my salaries paid in bitcoin. I will have no worries by that time because bitcoin's volatility might not be an issue by then.
2122  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Amazon Puts Down Bitcoin Use Rumor on: July 28, 2021, 09:33:43 PM
It looks like there is some manipulation going on in the crypto space... Elites pulling the strings? Thoughts?

Also I saw the info on coinmarketcap on the blog and pinned amazon denied that claim. information that brings large companies about they will adapt bitcoin is always happening. first facebook and ebay. and now amazon . Strangely, people still easily believe in hoax news. but I think that hoax news had a good impact on the crypto market but Im not sure this is good ethics or not.

This is not the first time rumors that happened in the market because crypto market has always had fake news that will affect the market. Just like big company apple buying bitcoin but still turns out a fake one.

However, instead of the people to get rid of this but surprisingly, this has made the crypto market even more firm and strong. Fake news are everywhere so people should always be resposible to make DYOR and find the truth.
2123  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: once again the market is trying to break the resistance on: July 28, 2021, 09:16:58 PM
The pump's strength was influenced by a number of things. You should try reading some articles, and bitcoin was able to quickly break through the obstacle. What we need is only one more huge piece of good news, and the price of bitcoin will skyrocket once more. People are becoming enraged as a result of recent news from JP Morgan, Amazon, and other companies.
One more piece of news that is definitely legit and not just another fake news. Right now the price has been able to reach almost $40k so if more positive news will happen in the market, bitcoin price will eventually surpass the previous ATH and settles into a new one. But still, we should not be too confident because the price might eventually fall again when we least expect it.

2124  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does Altcoin season started again? on: July 28, 2021, 09:59:15 AM
for now developments in the market are very positive. I see there is a new direction that the market price is going up, I think maybe in the next few days we will see another bull market
Everytime positive news come in the market, bitcoin seen to have a price increase but when amazon clears the issue, bitcoin price suddenly decline. But considering there are other good factors that will make bitcoin price surges, then we can expect that altcoins too will also follow the path of bitcoin.

However, not all altcoins will definitely increase their value because the worthless ones will stay undervalued. So even if alts season will happen in the following months, there's no guarantee that all of them will eventually increase.
2125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Amazon is looking to accept Bitcoin payments by the end of the year on: July 27, 2021, 08:58:16 PM
Lots of people have been waiting for this event to happen because it will surely have a positive impact on Bitcoin. Events and adoptions like this are important in the growth and development of Bitcoin as a currency. I just hope that the Amazon would really make it possible by the end of the year because it has been announced months ago.

Check the previous posts. Amazon has issued clarification, saying that the news is fake. They stated that they have an interest in cryptocurrency, but most of the article is far from the truth. And that is the reason why the exchange rates fell by more than 10% in the last 24 hours. But personally, I am not that disappointed. The cryptocurrency journey is full of ups and downs and we don't need to bother about temporary setbacks. If PayPal has accepted Bitcoin, then it is just a matter of time before others such as Amazon and Microsoft does the same.
Maybe it might take some time before amazon accept bitcoin as a payment. But for now, let's not get disappointed with this fake news because things like these become normal in crypto and this is the reason why we don't have to believe easily particularly when the news are not reliable though.

Once the government will start supporting bitcoin in the near future, i know good things will follow easily. So don't rush things to happen. For now, let's enjoy what we have with the current market. Things might be good for the incoming bull run and everyone is hoping to make huge profits when that time finally comes.

2126  Economy / Economics / Re: Amazon will accept Bitcoin payment this year on: July 26, 2021, 10:22:15 PM
This is another good news as Bitcoin adoption is increasing year after year, there has never been a direct means to use Bitcoin as payment on Amazon, but there will be changes even before the end of the year. Amazon is already planning to add Bitcoin to its payment method, it was said that the directive is coming from the Amazon president, Jeff Bazos.

“This isn’t just going through the motions to set up cryptocurrency payment solutions at some point in the future – this is a full-on, well-discussed, integral part of the future mechanism of how Amazon will work,” she told City AM.

“It begins with Bitcoin – this is the key first stage of this crypto project, and the directive is coming from the very top… Jeff Bezos himself.”

The insider also explained that directors of the world’s fourth largest company were keen to move towards ticking off other big cryptocurrencies once it had established a fast and secure method of Bitcoin payment.
amazon sees huge potential in Bitcoin. amazon is the largest ecommerce in the world and for sure this will take Bitcoin to a high bull. just waiting for ebay and alibaba to accept Bitcoin then we will see Bitcoin pass $200k.
Good things are still coming though and hopefully not just amazon but all those big stores and companies should start looking forward to accept bitcoin too. In this way, not just a high bull run will definitely happen in the next months but adoption for crypto as its bound to coexist with fiat will now be very possible in the nearest time. Once amazon will finalize their decision and come up with acceptance of bitcoin, then we can expect that this market will suddenly turn into bullish one.
2127  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Never Trade On Emotions on: July 26, 2021, 10:00:20 PM
Invest a little by little if you have the intention to buy. You decide if you want to buy full from your money at the current prices. But if you're too anxious about it.
You can cost average and buy each time it goes down or up based from your budget. That's an effective strategy so you don't miss every buying opportunity or whenever a price goes down and another round of decrease happens.
Investing into the amount you can afford to lose is what i think should never be ignored. Because if you start investing or even trading with a huge capital, and then the market suddenly crash, then you end up losing too. I suggest never be carried by your own emotions everytime you make decisions because most of them will not end up successfully. A good trader does not prioritize his own emotions over his mind but rather stick to the original plan even if the market turn into sideways. Once you change your plan, its more likely you will end in failure.
2128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will everyone still believe in Elon Musk? on: July 26, 2021, 09:44:27 PM
some people still believe in elon musk even though they curse elon but there are also people who really hate elon, so not everyone hates elon musk there are still people waiting for elon musk's tweets they believe that elon's tweets are still effective to increase the price of coins.
There is no doubt that a lot of followers of Elon are still supporting him particularly those newbies who rarely know about what Elon has done in the crypto market. For me, there is no need to believe Elon because what he did to bitcoin was definitely a selfish thing. At first, he hyped bitcoin but when he became interested into doge coin, it turned out dumping bitcoin and making this meme coin to pump instead. I don't know how Elon became so influential into crypto but one thing i know, he is just fooling around and made most of the investors become confused too. Elon is a smart guy and so what he did was just all for financial advantage and nothing else.
2129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 23, 2021, 04:50:18 PM
Nice advice mate, we can get good odds if we bet now, it's like we are giving a discount for early investors, so we should try to get the best odds. As we can see, the odds had decreased and it might continue to decrease as the fight is near to the scheduled date. I'm all for Manny to win this fight, I even expect a KO against a big opponent, so betting early is really the right thing to do now.

I don't think the bookmakers have the resource to continue changing odds even if they want to. If they do this, then for many bettors who made early bets, there will be an opportunity to make a counter to their early bet and be guaranteed to win. Most likely, those changes that we saw the last, further serious changes in odds should be expected during online.


Well, they have no choice to move the odds if people are putting a lot of money on Pacquiao to win, they will have to balance the odds as their concern is just to make commissions on the winning bets, they are not really like casinos or the house that accepts the bet against themselves.

It already happened in other sports AFAIR, like in the NBA, in the opening line, one team is the favorites but where there's bad news that could potentially affect the performance of the favorites, the odds flip and the underdog become the favorites, so bookies have no problem with that.

My prediction is Pacquiao will still remain as the underdog though the odds will decrease a bit.
2130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: July 23, 2021, 04:04:51 PM
I agree with that, but if Casimero will reign in the bantamweight division, then I would say that he will be next to Manny Pacquiao.
That's possible but it's not easy to reign in the Batamweight division as Casimero has to beat the following fighters.

1. Guillermo Rigondeaux
2. Nonito Donaire.
3. Naoya Inoue


Inoue is s Japanese, so he is not counted in the ranking of Filipino boxers, but in terms of skills, I can see the quality of Manny Pacquiao in him because he is a heavy puncher and he is fast with a high IQ. Maybe he needs to experience some defeat also so he will become stronger by learning from his mistakes.

let's take it one step at a time, I know we want a Filipino champion as we support them, but Casimero still has to win against Rigondeaux so he will pass on the next stage.

Continue to play normally when it has become 2x of the capital it should be able to withdraw.

That's not what most of the gamblers think, most of them want x10 of their capital before they withdraw, and it's also because of the small bankroll they use to start gambling, and yet their target profit is so high. It's normal to aim high in gambling as some said if you want to make easy money, you can start gambling, but in real life, it only works to smart gamblers.
2132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 23, 2021, 01:16:44 PM
About the odds, I think we saw the same with Thurman and that will change until the day comes of the fight.

I don't think it will be the same. Spence Jr and Thurman aren't on the same caliber and level. The former is much more dominant and can create more hype.

While the fight is approaching, Spence Jr will still be the favorite in the match.

For Manny Pacquiao bettors, I don't know what are you waiting for aside from money, bet now or else, you all have no choice but to hug the possible @2.0 odds.


Nice advice mate, we can get good odds if we bet now, it's like we are giving a discount for early investors, so we should try to get the best odds. As we can see, the odds had decreased and it might continue to decrease as the fight is near to the scheduled date.

2133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: July 23, 2021, 01:02:28 PM
This could be the last time we see a Donaire vs Inoue fight, so Donaire should train harder, for himself to the limit so he can beat the best. He still has that powerful punch, his last fight was very impressive but with a moving target like Inoue, I know it's hard but who knows Donaire could catch him and KO him early.

For a gambler, betting on Donaire is good as the odds should really be a sweet one, we can get at least +300 in this fight.

Or this could be Donaire's last fight  Smiley. He is 38 years old if I'm correct and there's no much attractive fight out there for him if he losses this fight unless he wants to be a stepping stone for the young guns of this weight category which I doubt he will do.

I'll wait for some option like Inoue winning by decision and see if it's attractive but won't bet for Donaire here. Betting with head and not with heart but I would be very happy if he wins this fight.

Most probably, that's why he needs to win this fight, otherwise, there's no reason for him to fight if he is concern about his pride. If he will retire after this fight, he will still be recognized as one of the greatest boxers in the Philippines, so not bad for him.

Next to Pacman is Donaire based on success ranking in the world of boxing, so yes, he will be recognized as one of the best boxers in the Philippines. It's not yet over for him, he can still fight and could win this rematch, but like most of us believe here, his chance is very low against the beast of Japan.

Ginebra won the first game, they bounce back from their first game loss.

They won by 14 points and that's good as they also covered the point spread which is -12.5

All the starting 5 of Ginebra had double-digit points, they seemed to share the ball pretty well.

Tenorio 17
Thompson 11
Pringle 19
Aguilar 14
Standhardinger 11


That was a statement that they are really a good team.

Standhardinger and Aguilar should be both healthy so they'll dominate inside, and this lineup is a very defensive line up so I still like their chances of winning the PBA championship this season. The new addition is only Standhardinger but we know he can blend pretty well to any team as he has played a lot of teams already and with good experience.

So early to tell about winning a championship but its really a good decision to get Standhardingers on their line up since as you said they are perfect blend on defensive side if the coaching staff will know how to use this guy's and create good chemistry together then provably wen see this team go to finals. I also said it's early to say about them winning the champ since SMB super team still intact and other teams have a good roosters this season.

Agree with that, C. Stand though shorter than Greg, he is more talented and has an IQ in the court, so it's a great decision by the Ginebra to acquire him and Ginebra had already proven that they can win the championship without Greg.

The current line up of Ginebra is pretty good than the older season. Stanley Pringle, LA Tenorio and Christian Standhardinger the big 3 of the team  has a good teamwork lead by coach Tim. Ginebra has a potential of winning as of their gameplay they prove that they can win.

Not only this game or the coming game, I think they'll be a big favorite to win the championship.

It could definitely but there's a small percentage in that group of people that studies Economics in school to not become economical themselves which is understandable given that not everyone is interested in Economics but at the very least it makes them aware about the subject and the things that it teaches.

If they'll apply everything and continue being guided by the right system this helps, a person who wanted to succeed will keep on
finding things that will lead him.

Economics with all the fundamentals will help to established your goals in achieving, all relies with how will you execute those learnings
and how will you choose the venue to perform your knowledge.
You won't totally be economical but you have all the fundamentals to guide become such one. And simply studying economics in school is not good enough. You have to go out from your shell and research and explore the factors that will help you to go through in it. In the end, it all matters in your own life's application and the outcome would reflect how you understand all what you have learned in school.
2137  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best altcoins to hold during a bear market? on: July 22, 2021, 09:41:53 PM
Solana maybe the strongest altcoin this moment, with great fundamental behind SOLANA this project will be great in future and maybe could compete one by one with existing major coins such as bnb or ethereum. Personally i am fill my bag with these coins due this price action face this bearish trend that happen in few weeks ago.
I've been seeing the SOL suggestions in these sections.

Well, that makes it being more interesting on my end and making it good to see that it's on the top of the altcoins. We've been bearish I think not just for weeks but for months already.

I'll definitely get to research more about SOL not because it's been shilled but I'll look why many have been telling about it.
Solana is a good choice for investment because it has been very promising in the previous days and even if the market is in dip, Solana still manage to sustain its price making other investors to make profits on it.

But i will not leave behind ethereum too because its always my first choice. No matter how the market moves, ethereum will always have its own way to come up surging again.
2138  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Musk is going to hurt the Crypto Industry, sign this petition on: July 22, 2021, 09:22:08 PM
I don't think it's going to help because he probably won't see it at all unless this story goes viral and lots of people spread it, and maybe after seeing it he'll just say it's exaggerating, and things will go back to how they were.
I think there's no need to create a petition because the people are already watching Elon. They know what is happening so they can decide already on their own. If they chose not to follow Elon anymore, then Elon will create no impact anymore on the market. And i think that's what most of us are wanting and its definitely a good thing for the crypto market.
2139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's causing the decline this time? on: July 22, 2021, 09:11:36 PM
It doesn't matter. Don't try to make sense of it. Just use it to get more profit.
We have been used to it already. Maybe there might be a price correction that made bitcoin to dump a little but definitely, it will rise up again.

I don't really see these price corretions a big threat for crypto because it is even a good opportunity to place buy orders on the coins you believe in. So just enjoy whatever the market value has to offer. Everything will be back to normal again once majority of the coins will recover.
2140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you believe in this information? on: July 22, 2021, 08:47:01 PM
Yes, that's right, it seems doubtful. Germany is indeed against ico, I have experience with ico in 2018 where all ico from germany cannot be trusted. maybe this is not relevant and the news can't be seen until there is real evidence in the public
Don't take the news wrong about what happened in 2018 because at that time almost all ICOs became scams because the market at that time was not very supportive of creating new projects because they were in a big correction.
Scam projects won't be easily gone in crypto but atleast they have been minimized this year. And if this news is a legit, then we should be more thankful to Germany because it will definitely boost the crypto market and may see good price increase once this investment will take place. Bull run might be earlier this time once this huge investment will be made in crypto.
