2241  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can some AltCoins pump during bear markets ? on: August 02, 2022, 11:51:29 PM
For those who lived during the past bear market ( 2018 /2019 ):

Can AltCoins go against the larger trend and actually pump nicely during a bear market ? I know there was a bit of a pump in 2019, so I don't know.. but right now I'm seeing Gods Unchained, Ox and a few other coins pump even if Bitcoin's Market dominance is still well over 42 %. Lets not also forget the market is still in a downtrend headed for lower lows at the moment. So would there be any point in trying to FOMO into altcoins pumping ?
I personally exited the market almost entirely, plan to re enter when Bitcoin hits 15K or even lower. Then again I've noticed some alts coming desperately close to the negative 98% mark... you have to wonder how much lower can they go

Good Alts can pump anytime, it not only depends on prevailing market conditions but also on development going behind the project, likewise Ethereum merger is well is progress and it is  likely to complete within a month, so it will definitely have good impact on its price because this development will create more demand of Ethereum. Another example is burning of coin event that reduces supply of coins, hence makes good impact on price.

Not all good alts can pump but as well those shitcoins which undergo on massive hype can pump to but expect for them to get dumped fast because that's how scam devs make their investors think that they are more reliable compare to any other top coins which is suffering from dump brought up by bear market season. I also see so many tokens do this burning of supply but its not sustainable if the developers are totally selfish so better secure your pockets first before you see a pump before believing that there's more to come.
2242  Economy / Economics / Re: Are we hodling BTC or we are hodling Fiat?? on: August 02, 2022, 09:45:12 PM
I prefer to hold bitcoin and hold fiat because by holding bitcoin, we can sell it anytime we want, especially if the price of bitcoin increases rapidly and reaches a high price. We also hold fiat to buy more bitcoins, especially if the price can drop drastically to the lowest level and then hold it back until the price recovers and increases to higher prices.

So you hold both bitcoin and fiat. What do you spend then? Cheesy You have to live somehow, pay your bills, buy food...

I prefer to spend fiat because fiat is inflationary. It loses value over time so holding it doesn't make a lot of sense. I hold only as much fiat money as I'd need for maybe a year if I got sick or had some problems like an accident or a medical condition. Cash is like a hot potato these days with 10% inflation.
But at the end of the day you will still need to convert your bitcoins to fiat so that you can pay all your bills or anything what you need since we cannot still really bitcoin in terms of utility since there's limited merchants or institutions accept bitcoin. Although cash is really hot because of inflation but still this is most preferred by people globally.

At GSW, Steve Kerr's small ball lineup was called Death Lineup coined by Vincent Goodwill.
Quote
It was not until months after it was deployed in the Finals that the Warriors small lineup was referred to as the Death Lineup,[13][14][23] a phrase originated by Vincent Goodwill, then of The Detroit News.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Lineup


They were able to make that small lineup a success because that brings them another championship. yes, they suffer on the defense but they are moving the ball very well so their offense is exceptional. Only the Celtics were able to exploit them but the Warriors adjustment well and beat the Celtics successively to win the NBA championship.

I don't know if there's a team that could beat their style.
They relied with adjustments too. Somehow the Boston Celtics found a way to break that play even if they are using big men like Horford and Williams III.
But, the same was done by Warriors with adjustments that is way better than what Boston did. I must say this, Steve Kerr is a hell of a coach, he must've focused on what Phil Jackson was doing way back he was a Bulls player and then some added wisdom from Coach Pop while he stayed with the Spurs.
He is a product of successful and intelligent coaches although he is a bench player, I guess that's what made him better because he see everything in a wider perspective.
Agree with you that, the Warriors will not become a good team if Steve Kerr was not hired to coach this team. He is also a great 3-point shooter so he was able to help Curry improve his talent and slowly Curry has become a good defensive player as well.  Kerr deserves to win a coach of the year again.

Its not only with Kerr but the whole coaching staff or shall we say the whole organization because they really help the careers of each warriors player goes to their team. Plus their scouts which really can spot a high quality player coming off from unexpected picks. But for talking about being a coach of the year well its no doubt that Kerr totally deserve this since he won multiple championships on this team.

Huh almost or still far? just a difference of 80 EUR and out of the top 10  even thrown to rank 141 Cheesy the competition in the standings is really tight
But I won't give up until I win something from this promotion  Roll Eyes the winners of the contest on the forum are the ones who post the predictions on the last day so maybe that's a good idea  Smiley


You never know buddy, you could win one day. You have to be in it to win it. That’s the only thing you can do.

Fingers crossed for you Smiley
I agree with you sir, even though there is only a small chance to win, maybe in the future we are the lucky ones, the important thing is to always follow and keep trying, I did it even though the chance to win was very minimal  Grin

Yes I will continue to try and follow some advice here, some of them advised us to send predictions on the last day this method looks reasonable at least to get a closer price
But this month Bitcasino started Bitcoin predictors at the beginning of the month until August 22 and 9 days difference from the day of the announcement.

Advices coming from legitimate players is really good to hear since this is uplifting as the competition became more tighter, but sometimes the thrill will be lessen if you drop your prediction near on end date because sometimes some people will just forget about what entry they sent on the contest. Still good to see Bitcasino continue to drop this kind of contest since compare to other casino where they focus on their website only this one focus on other more things which can make their community more entertained.
2245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos You're Playing That Are not On This Forum on: August 01, 2022, 10:51:21 PM
Since I'm into crypto I'm not using any casino which didn't have thread on this forum because I'm worried if I get a problem then we can't go anywhere to sue them regarding the issues we are facing to them that's why I always prepare reputable casinos here since they are much giving us guarantee that all issue will be solve since they have business names here to protect. Before I hate to do KYC but I get use to it now as long as the casino is reputable and been well establish here for long time.
2246  Economy / Exchanges / Re: High withdraw fee rates by binance etc, Why?! on: August 01, 2022, 12:23:16 PM
Hi,
trading websites like binance, do charge user for 0.0005 BTC (half of mili BTC or 0.5 mBTC) when user is going to withdraw.
Many other websites are likely charging users for same fee. What is the reason?
Sites like binance do pay users in groups, I mean they pay to 10 users in same transaction. this will also reduce fee payed by binance.
So why binance (or other sites) do charge user for $10 as fee when they do pay $1-2 as fee?
For example even if binance pay $1 as fee to the bitcoin network, then it will charge user for $10 (0.5mBTC).
I think binance do not likes that users withdraw their BTCs because maybe they do not have enough BTC in their wallets! Smiley

Nope that's not it because this is not how they run their business and Binance is earning a lot of money for this as they are the top exchange exist. If I am not wrong that's the default fees even before when bitcoin is so cheap. So if you think the network fee is so high better shift to other alts which have less fee and fast.
2247  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would you be able to advise me on Non-compliant Crypto ? on: July 30, 2022, 09:29:35 PM
Hello '

Would you be able to advise me on ADA, ATOM, VET and XLM? I worry that I am holding non-compliant crypto in my portfolio

Thank you "

You have good coins on your stash so don't get worried about things like legality since crypto is not there yet so don't get worries about those things. Maybe try to focus on your trades for now and how you can earn profits because its more helpful if you monitor the market to gain from it, rather than relying on hype because if you don't know what you are doing maybe you could still lose your money even if you hold those good coins.
2248  Economy / Economics / Re: Social media, now looking more for business than for socializing. on: July 30, 2022, 01:48:35 PM
Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?



This is how business sector evolve since the more people engage in certain platform the more business minded guys will see this an opportunity to promote their product or services.

So people need to evolve since if they didn't adopt the changes of the world especially on tech side provably this could make the company go down since the money now is on social media.
2249  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do you safely keep your recovery phrase written on paper? on: July 30, 2022, 10:38:05 AM
Yesterday, my mom did a general cleaning on my room and when she's done, I saw the recovery phrase of my Trezor hardware wallet on the garbage can which I placed on my computer table, I also have that same copy on my wallet but still can't stop myself to tremble in fear to lose that piece of paper. I didn't told her about it to avoid more argument because she wouldn't still understand what it is. This is what I've been scared about when people say to write your recovery phrases on a piece of paper instead of storing it online.

I would like to know how others keep these secret phrases if the people in your house are not really knowledgeable in crypto. Would it be safe if I store it online but the file is encrypted and password protected?

I mostly write my important details like my seedphrase on notebook to since I feel safer when I write it offline that saving it on any other application on my computer. To safekeep it I told my parents that they shouldn't touch this notebook because I have important information written there and also I save 1 slot on my desk drawers and lock it so that no one can touch it when I'm far from my computer.
2250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rise of Streamers in Online Gambling on: July 29, 2022, 11:28:10 PM
It isn't surprising to see slots streams on the top list.  There are lots of gamblers around the world.  And many of them wonder how a slots work, how it bonus works, how much it would pay and the volatility of the slots, so they tend to watch streamers besides, most streams have giveaways.  The giveaway may be the main reason why gambling games such as slots are one of the top lists.
I think its popularity has brought due to the interest of many on actual casinos and how this game works.
Aside from being fun, it is really enjoyable just to watch a streamer that plays with a slot and other gambling games too.
So, those money that they show to their audience or viewers, it is intriguing and attracting whether they are for real or not.

Yes that it is since the number of users who want to enjoy online that's why they see a opportunity to earn that's why we see them participate on promoting a gambling site at the moment. It's really fun to see them playing because we can get an idea with them on the style they are using because we could replicate it and have fun to, but what bad thing their if the influencer is just hyping certain casino and offer to good to be true to their audience then they are not really fun to watch.
2251  Economy / Gambling / Re: [Warning] 10.w88hash.vip Suspicious gambling website. on: July 29, 2022, 10:06:51 PM
The way how that people introduce the site plus how suspicious the link is for sure it will give bad tase to the person who could see it. Also maybe he try to do phising attack and target those user who he think involve in gambling activities that's why he block you after you finish what he ask you yo do.

Hopefully he didn't get any victim from the suspicious site he spread.
2252  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you regret buying before the dip on: July 29, 2022, 12:37:17 PM
There's nothing to be sorry for, bitcoin will know to find its own way to rise. bitcoin is not an altcoin which when pumped can no longer return to ATH, we do have to experience a correction in the market so that bitcoin's growth is for the better.

Nothing to be sorry because its just a paper loss and they can recover what possible losses in value if they continue to hold then wait for another bull run to happen, this is always happening on bitcoin especially when there's a halving happening. So what people need to do is to hold if they are trap and cannot afford to cut loss since for sure in future they can recover back or even get a profit once bitcoin price became at excellent state.
2253  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Futures Trading is not for everyone on: July 29, 2022, 10:21:47 AM
If you are a crypto trader using spot I advice you should stick with it till you become a professional trader, just because you start futures and win three rounds of short or long buys doesn't mean you are officially a pro trader....

I thought I was a pro coming from spot trading, I used 300$ which I planned to use to DCA into a project but a man can dream, my first attempt was successful, which net me 50$ and the second was 100$, the third round was 40$ and I close the trade for the day...

On the second day I lost everything, I now officially accept that I am far from been a pro trader, at least that's what I thought 🤔. 

The level of patience on individual traders is different so futures is not really for everyone. I see a lot of traders settle only on spot trading because for what I see they cannot take the huge risk given by this option since we really need to spend time to watch how the market moves because if we are not there to guard our trades for sure we will lost since market is so volatile.
2254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 28, 2022, 10:27:46 PM
The Golden State Warriors have shown some interest in picking up Carmelo Anthony for next season. I’m not sure how well he would fit in, but I’m sure he could do some damage off the bench. I’m thinking it would probably be his last chance to win a championship, so it wouldn’t be a bad option for him. I’d wait to see if Kyrie gets traded to the Lakers and see if I could run that back before anything else though.

I think he's a good fit for the GSW coming off the bench. He could definitely do some damage as most of the guys in GSW can shoot everywhere and that gives him the advantage to find an open space where he can shoot uncontested.
I'd definitely love to see him win a championship before he retires. I know he'll have a better chance of winning a championship if joins the Warriors than the rest of his career from different teams.
Coming off the bench? yeah, I think it will be good, but him in the starting five, I doubt that he will fit on that rotation.

Maybe the Warriors thinks he can give 10-15 points solid in any given night. So let's see if the Warriors will give him another chance. Who knows, it could click and perhaps Carmelo Anthony will win his first ring before retiring.

Well, I'm quite sure that he won't be a part of the starting five and it is quite obvious why. The GSW has already established their attacks and the defensive maneuvers they will have to do in any team they face that's why I don't think that they will just add Carmelo on that rotation. He will be good at bench producing nice figures every night and it's much better to give him more exposures as a substitute player because he's already proven to produce numbers.

He will not as he is already a bench player so for sure in GSW he's role will be at the bench. This is good addition since they could use the shooting ability of Melo and fit up on their system. Lets just see if he will get more good exposure in GSW since if he produce good numbers maybe he will also get a ring on this team.
2255  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon and his bag of tricks on: July 28, 2022, 11:54:10 AM
(...)My question is what is the relationship linking Tesla corporation and the COVID lockdowns in china?

Or was this just a well laid out plan to raise his trading prices?
I don't have much to speculate about his behavior towards the crypto market. should also look at the matter from a different angle, as we all see that Elon Musk has brought positive and negative signals to the market through several stages of its development. As it grows, people call him god and now a bad guy. Each will judge and see the matter from their own understanding. In a market where most people want to benefit from it, and influencers will always face problems like this, I know not only Elon Musk but many other influencers are also being talked about.

I guess if you are not that new in the market, you know such personalities like Musk can easily influenc the price. However, sooner or later crypto investors are getting smarter and will stir away from him specially if he open his mouth and talked about bitcoin.

And I don't think there is some kind of magic trick here, more on a business move on his part. Selling bitcoin, which he uses as an hedge and investment for his company. And since everyone's business is suffering due to the lockdown, specially his factory in China, he need cash flows now and the best move for Tesla is to sold their BTC holdings.

The magic trick he always used is his company so maybe some people will get easily affected when there's a news about tela's action made, before it was really effective since if you look at the doge coin Tesla or Elon really make the price of it skyrocket. But now its hard for him to stir down the scene as the latest action they do didn't really give any huge effect to the market and I guess people already know the actions made by Elon Musk itself.

Hi,

We are BetInsider - We are a passionate team of gamblers with years and years of betting behind us. Our new Telegram betting channel offers free daily match betting previews and analysis for every major league around the world.

We will NEVER ask for money in return (eg. subscriptions, fixed games) so be careful about scammers and impersonators. Our only goal is to win as much money as possible from betting and ONLY betting.

Invite your friends and let's make money together - JOIN NOW
Another claimant of being a trusted and good prediction and tips , and the word  I love the most is that "They are not asking for Money"  Grin Grin Grin

so what is the sense of giving service for free when you wont earn any tips or something? if this is true then you are just wasting your time to help people? then we should call you a HERO?

and why not bring the Tips here instead? you are allowed to post in your own thread so why not give it a shot?

It looks like they are building the portfolio of their telegram channel.  So far there is 2 subscribers in the channel, their last prediction is last July 25.  I wouldn't say anything harsh but from the looks of it there isn't much going on the channel.  @OP if you wanted to impress people here, you should be more active on the channel where you wanted us to join regardless of the number of subscribers else, it would leave a bad impression and your effort will be wasted.

Maybe the reason of their inactivity its because they didn't get much awareness nor people don't like what they are offering, but if they are just promoting more what they do and didn't just rely from people coming from here maybe they can get different result. But then again people are aware about those groups asking for money so maybe this is the reason why this didn't get any big hit from gamblers.
2257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Luna Classic - Thoughts? on: July 27, 2022, 10:14:46 PM
I'm guessing luna classic could hardly ever recover back again, I guess it could have sudden bullish just like meme coin since honestly luna classic could be categorized as one at this moment.
still luna classic has been left by most of the big venture capital and investment fund, basically it gonna hardly have big flow of investment in the future, so just don't really think that luna classic could ever recover back to its former glory.

Luna Classic has lost the trust of many investors, so it is very difficult for Luna Classic to recover and become one of the top altcoins again.
Even Luna Classic for me is a very high risk coin option, maybe in the near future I will not invest in Luna Classic. What happened to LUNA
before was really bad, we can imagine LUNA, which is a top coin, could experience a very severe crash. And there are so many investors who
have become victims and until now have experienced deep trauma. How such an incident could be forgotten so easily. So Luna Classic will
still be considered shitcoins which is not recommended to buy, it may take a long time for Luna Classic to regain investors trust.

Many investors are already done with Luna because the incident happen which cost huge financial lost to huge number of their holders makes them not a good coin to choose for. So I guess many call it a shitcoin right now and anyone call it a good coin is just hyping that coin.
2258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 27, 2022, 01:08:35 PM
If that's the case then KD will remain to play with Kyrie and they just need to fix their play to make it different from the last season where they really struggle to synchronize and have some chemistry issues with the new traded players.
Honestly, I don't expect the Nets can do something impressive next season, even if Irving and Durant will stay on the team. The problem is that Durant might not perform as well, and he might also have some issues with his teammates after all since he has expressed his desire to leave the team. At the same time, Irving seems to be unpredictable. I mean, if there's another pandemic and mandatory vaccinations, Irving will probably miss part of the season because of his beliefs again.
That will hurt the Nets fans and they will hate Durant. As an NBA player, he is paid and he has to perform, otherwise the team could penalize him or will be force not to pay him if he will deliberately perform lower than his capacity just to send a message to the team that he should be traded.
That will just keep them hurting, both players wanted to out and want to go separate ways, I wouldn't be surprised if ticket sales will even decrease due to this, just a wild guess but possible. How about Ben Simmons? Last update from last month says he's still out, seems indefinitely out?
it's wise if the Nets will trade Durant, at least one of the two will be traded so the one superstar that is left will feel that he is the only leader. Before, I like Durant, I thought he is a real NBA star, but with how things are going recently, it only tells that he already surrendered easily and believe he could not carry a team to be a championship team if the other star will not perform like a real star.

He didn't mean that he surrender about not carrying a team only people who keep looking at his career after he left the warriors told that. People are so exaggerated about this since some of warriors fans just want to mock Durant for leaving Warriors.

He is really a good addition on any team but the question there if he could really fit the system and have good chemistry to young Celtics or other team.
2259  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There will be 1 billion crypto users by 2030 - research on: July 27, 2022, 11:26:38 AM
I'm not sure how they determined and calculate the number of 1 billion cryptocurrency users by 2030 because there can be many factors to check about the increasing number of cryptocurrency users like the regulation of bitcoin because surly if the governments decide to suspend bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in their countries there will be fewer users trying to use bitcoin and cryptocurrency because we all know they will show less interest if they see some problem from the government side, but generally, I think by 2030 and considering the speed on spreading bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the world will see much more investors and users but I can say any number.

I guess they just multiply the total upcoming population of people in that year that's why they get that possible numbers, but it doesn't mean that we believe that since there are so many thing that might happen and we need to prepare if government will ban it or totally regulate the cryptocurrency industry.

 But looking at what's happening on crypto this past years for sure we can see some great adoption came at that year.
2260  Economy / Gambling / Re: Roobet.com | Crypto’s Fastest Growing Casino 🦘 on: July 26, 2022, 11:51:30 PM
Most of the casino restrict the usage of VPN services as they have restrictions to operate in some regions and you are directly bypassing them so it's violation of the rules and if your account is caught using them it can be blocked and funds can be freezed without informing you.So this is why it's said abide by the T&C of the casino to play in the right manner.
It's better to avoid it if you don't want to be a problem in the future and look for other solutions for your area I'm sure there are so many sportsbooks then look for other platforms, but if you want to be on Roobet as stated above, you have to ask for direct support approval whether it's allowed or not but it's true that you say VPN services have limits operating in each region.
I agree, VPN is just a short stack solution that would come back and bite you in the behind if you are not careful. There is a whole list on which nations could play and which can't, and if your nation is in the list of where you shouldn't come from then it wouldn't really be a wise idea to use VPN and make sure that it goes wrong.

If you insist on doing that which would result with a situation where you would gamble in a place that you shouldn't and that would be eventually getting caught and then Roobet would have to terminate the account and keep your money and then if asked by any authority would end up with something that would be a big of a trouble for you in the end.
When you are restricted then it would really be just common sense that you shouldnt be here on the first place and if you do insist then you would really be having that option on using up VPN but of course you arent

that dumb on not to know on what are the particular risk once the site would caught you out and also you might be facing some violations specially if you do  came on a restricted country but it is unlikely to happen

though but if you could able to bare the risk then go ahead and play using VPN but dont whine and cry whenever the time comes that you would be experiencing some problems within the site.
We do have our own will on making out decisions whether it would really be good or bad for us and we arent that dumb on not to presume out those probabilities for those things to happen.

People insist to play on site while they ban the access in their country is hard headed, and when they blame the casino once they got restricted because they do so and cry out here. So best to follow what the site rules because its a warning not to violate any of this since for sure we will encounter a huge issue that we might not accept.
