2361  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoins economic growth is enormous in India | Amazing Future ahead on: October 29, 2021, 07:22:40 AM
India is an eternal promise. A very populated country, namely, the largest democracy in the world (I do not know how strong or really democratic is tbh) that should be growing like crazy... yet is not. And it is not in terms of markets, GDP nor international relevance. It is very sad, but there are so many barriers that would need to be removed to enable the potential of India that it just seems impossible as of now to bet on it.

Glad to know adoption is good.
Despite of an overpopulated country that are full of barriers, its now undeniable that India has almost made it to the top when it comes to crypto and bitcoin. Yes, based on an Analytics insight report, Indians have invested around $6.6 billion in crypto  till May 2021 and it was an over 600% jump from $923 million in April 2020. Although this survey is not really updated but come to think of it, how much more to this present time their total investment in crypto? It must be very huge by now. So its not surprising that India could be China or US in the coming years which will totally lead crypto adoption in the world. Well, as long as its government did not change their mind on crypto, then crypto will become mainstream in India by then.

I really dont think you can doubt meme coins at this stage mate I mean have you seen shiba pump and then there was safemoon They just are everywhere these days and there is no stopping to the meme The problem is dont try to buy those coins at the top coz fundamentally they just dont help anyway so expects dumps like really crazy ones

Invest with your own risk! Meme are everywhere and they are showing performance from time to time, you mentioned those two but the main one is Doge,

Who would taught that the value of Doge will jump high up at this point, and still holding and moving up and down. If you will bring your investment into this kind of project, be aware that losing is more possible than having a good chance of earning big profits.
Of course, there's always a high risk if you invest into meme coins and you should be aware of that. But since you are investing for profits, then take advantage of its current price while it is still profitable. Dogecoin may be a bubble and anytime it will burst out so before it happens, at least you have made profits already.

However, at the end of the day, you will be responsible of your own choice. So if you are afraid to take the risk, then better stay away from meme coins.
2363  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL, HODL, HODL when can one actually sell Bitcoin? on: October 28, 2021, 04:30:08 PM
You can sell at any time according to your heart's desire, don't think too much about what people say and people's statements. if the person says hold and others but you have made a profit do sell. because everyone has their own profit limit, and working independently is the best
Exactly. Learn to stand on your own decision because that will make you more responsible on whatever things you want to do. I think selling your bitcoin is probably your own choice when to sell it, either sell just a portion of it, or you sell the whole coin, depending on your needs. But i would suggest, set a price target first that is definitely higher from the price you bought it, wherein you can say that you've made a lot of profits. And when you think the price has already reached your target, then never hesitate to let go of your coins. After all, we tend to hold for long because of our aim of higher profits. And when its already there, start selling them. But its not necessarily that you should sell all your coins, if you think the coin will be more valuable in the future, maybe continue holding some of them for future profits.
2364  Economy / Gambling / Re: Self excluded from Stake - but cannot make withdrawal. on: October 28, 2021, 07:15:27 AM
As i see it was the OP mistake. I don`t understand why Stake have to return his balance? The next step will "i made wrong bet, give me my money back"? There are rules, OP accepted with these rules, no problem. If Stake will say "ok, let do as he wants" - tomorrow it will be 10-20-100 OP telling the same and "you did it once, why don`t you want to do it again?"
Your example is wrong, the topic is about Self exclusion, a feature from a gambling site where you can lock your account and when it's lock you cannot access your balance, OP made a mistake by forgetting that he still has a balance, so he is now complaining that he should be allowed to withdraw even if the account is under self-exclusion.
Why it is wrong? Why Stake have to change their regulations for his mistake? I think they had some reasons to include this point when they elaborated the terms and conditions. And OP asks to make an exception for him. And he does it on the board, not in private messages, not e-mail. Why is it so?
You are talking about a bet as an example, once you place your bet, you cannot undo it (unless there's a cashout feature if you know what I mean).

It's not that stake takes his money, the money is still in his account but since the account is under self-exclusion, he cannot touch or withdraw the money until the self-exclusion period expired. That's what I'm trying to say.  Smiley

the only solution to this so people will stop criticizing him is for him to win a championship.
No, he could be more efficient and smarter/sharper as a PG. I'm pretty sure he's a competitor and wants to win but he just couldn't do it all (nobody can). I've seen how he goes for rebounds that were like stealing from his own teammates. He could conserve some of his energy by trusting others more.

That's because he is used to stat padding way back in OKC, he already carried it to the Lakers.

His stats may be good but if the result is an "L", then that's still useless as basketball is a team game, not a one-man game.
Sorry to criticize Westbrook but that's how I see him, maybe Durant sees the same too.  Smiley
2366  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your opinion on recent bull market, will it be over soon? on: October 27, 2021, 11:44:56 PM
I think that after bitcoin has reached ATH in the last few days, there will still be potential for Bitcoin price to rise beyond the all time high that was reached a few weeks ago depending on positive sentiment in the future. Therefore, the market is in a bullish state at the moment.
As long as bitcoin stays being bullish, altcoins too are also in the same position. Although not all altcoins have been making a price surge, but most of the potential altcoins are influenced by the bullish price of bitcoin. And if we based on some indicators, there are high chances that this bullish market will last until december which i think bitcoin may reach another all time high.

However, we cannot tell if a serious problem hits the market which will influence the price movement of both bitcoin and altcoins, then it can be said that its bearish season has come earlier than expected.

we may really see a new ATH before this year ends. the sentiments from the market is different from previous years. and now, mastercard announced the acceptance of crypto debit/credit cards with their partner banks. i guess, we are really heading to good market adoption.
so it is only a matter of time before we see the price of BTC going up again.
the up and down will always be there, but i dont think we are stopping in the 60k+ level for BTC.
Mastercard announcement brings another good news in crypto that is expected to cause more pump in crypto prices. I really believe that this market will not just stop easily from being bullish because there are still more surprising news that will come before this year ends. We can expect for bitcoin and ethereum to reach new ATH this time that will cause significant pumps too for most of the altcoins. So this bullish season we are experiencing right now will not be over soon as the whole crypto market has just started to become bullish.
2367  Economy / Economics / Re: Really, why bitcoin has this value? on: October 27, 2021, 11:01:08 PM
Personally, I think everything that has value is because people thinks that it has value. That’s just it, if people don’t think that something has value then it is not going to have any value at all. Bitcoin serves a purpose which is transaction, so that’s why people believes that it is useful for them and therefore it has a value: for it to serve that purpose of transaction it needs to have a value, a price.

At first the value of Bitcoin is said to be determined by supply and demand, and I believe that still plays a role in determining the value this time around, but as time goes on I think there have been some changes as well that applies to that. A search on Google can bring up a lot of articles that we have deep explanation for this I believe.

Actually we are the reason why bitcoin has a value, I mean we the community of bitcoin that believes in it sets a value of this crypto. Bitcoin on a creator's purpose is to make people another way of payment that can be processed via online transactions, alternative payment system but as time goes by people see the true value of bitcoin, the potential to monetize it and exchange to fiat currency and that's why it started here. Now, bitcoin become more valuable and everyone were very optimistic for a good future usage of bitcoin.
As bitcoin's real utility case continue to expand, its community's demand too rises up more. So this has made bitcoin reach another good value because there are already such big countries and institutions who adopt bitcoin as part of the payment system. And while others have come to use it to buy goods and services, some also focus on bitcoin as a potential investment. With bitcoin having good population as a currency or as an investment, then its not surprising anyway why bitcoin has reached this far and end up with a high value.

2369  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Good news through Mastercard. on: October 27, 2021, 11:31:08 AM
Looks like the least we can do is to support them when they start implementing this plan and as a MasterCard user myself, this is great news and I'm hoping to try it as soon as they released it.

Their client will support it because they have a big number of clients, they would still do the same transaction, it's just that there's some addition which is crypto, just like a store that accepts online digital payment like Paypal and then they added crypto for the currency they are accepting.

It's the adoption that will make this crypto market a better world to play, more adoption would result in less manipulation, and we hope it will happen in the long run.
2370  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance promoting Shiba Inu on: October 27, 2021, 09:15:59 AM
I don't think it was done by Binance Party for the purpose of campaigning for Shiba Inu, but since Shiba Inu has been officially listed on their exchange Platform, this is a common thing in my opinion. but by doing it by Binance like that there is a positive value going on with Shiba.
The positive value is definitely there, but believe me that playing with Shiba Inu always has a greater risk than with others because Shiba is only viral because of Hype alone not because of good Utilities, while others live with very good Utilities aren't they with the hype.

it seems that when talking about risk, it is not only the shiba inu that has a big risk, with other coins, I think the risk is almost the same. but for now in my opinion playing in shiba there is absolutely no risk, but for everyone it is necessary to be more careful and more vigilant because shiba is the newest token that has a strong community.
With regards about Binance promoting SHIB, i have sense that this is more on hyping SHIB because that's what meme coins are all about. Although its undeniable that SHIB has a good community at the moment, but if Binance is starting to promote it, the news should be coming from the exchange itself and not literally from the SHIB page. Some may consider it as a FOMO, but if we take SHIB as a potential investment, then it would not need any hype or FOMO because its growing community itself and its increasing demand is already enough to convince others to invest in SHIB.
2371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NO KYC Sportbooks? on: October 27, 2021, 07:19:49 AM
What are some sportbooks that will NEVER ask for KYC
The problem with sportsbook is that there are multiple ways players can cheat them and hence at times almost every sportsbook will enforce one of the two:

1- Limitation on account, which means you cannot bet significant amounts. It can happen for many reasons and they can limit you if you are simply winning too much consistently.

2- KYC is another way of restricting you and making sure you are afraid of cheating the sportsbook knowing they can report you to the local authorities.

Well, the problem appears when people try to cheat! As I wrote in some of my previous posts, currently I am betting on Stake and Betfury, only email address and password, of course, with authenticator for safety... without KYC! I don't have problems with deposits and withdrawals! I never had any serious problems with crypto casinos, but I never tried to cheat them! I am not a whale, so everything up to $1k is working smoothly... I am saying that because we all know for complaints of some whales about crypto sports books!

Betting sites are not afraid that bettors will cheat, they are confident to operate which means they have a strong internal control to prevent or detect gamblers who are cheating. I think most of the concerns I read in the gambling community are the gambling sites cheating the gamblers, not the other way around, so that's not the reason why KYC is required, it's only required due to regulatory compulsory requirements to the operators.
2372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Rematch - JOSHUA vs USYK II (updated thread) on: October 27, 2021, 06:49:16 AM
People are losing faith in him because things have not been great for Joshua in the last fights, he lost against Ruiz which was one of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing and he did not looked good at all during the fight, it is true he won the rematch but he did not won by destroying Ruiz or anything like that, so while the win was deserved no one was impressed by it, and now he was completely dominated by Usyk, so people are not confident at all he can win the rematch against Usyk.

Sure. Even if we assume that Joshua will be lucky and will be able to defeat Usyk (in super heavyweights there is always a chance for an unexpected knockout), this will not change the fact that in the next match against Fury he will be an obvious underdog and such a fight is unlikely to cause a lot of excitement.

Indeed Joshua have lost his face in the crowd during his fight with Ruiz and also against Usyk in their last match.
He bounce back against Ruiz by beating Ruiz in the rematch, and now he will face Usyk again in a rematch, so let's see if he can do the same.
AJ changed his coach as he is looking to be better in the rematch, and that's another thing to watch out as he is serious, and I think he has a chance here but no chance for Fury.

No one believes in him anymore that he'll win against Usyk this time except his team ofcourse. And even if Joshua will fortunately win this time, he'll eventually lose against Tyson Fury and will definitely teach him.

I kinda excited to watch Usyk against Fury tho, these two fighters is much more entertaining to watch.

I do, I still believe that he will win against Usyk, he was the bigger fighter (though not quick enough) and he can impose his length if he'll learn a new technique under the new coach.
2373  Economy / Economics / Re: Who is Happier: Stock investors or Bitcoin investors on: October 26, 2021, 10:55:28 PM
The one who gets profit or the the who gets more profit is the most happier. That is easy. But, I think there are just two differences between them. Investing in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, gives higher percentage growth, than investing in stock. But, cryptocurrency is way risky than stock, because it is easier to scam with fake crypto project, than to scam with fake project that has issued stock.
I agree on you on this point. Of course the one who gets higher profits is obviously happier than those who only get minimal profits. And this depends either if you invest more on crypto or you choose to put more funds on stocks. But one thing is certain, there is more profits in crypto rather than stocks. Crypto has a higher rate of growth compared to any other assets, and its certainly more expensive than any other assets. So the bigger the risk you take, the higher the returns you'll gain. Not just in crypto alone, but this applies to all types of investments.
2374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks either adapt or face death on: October 26, 2021, 09:11:40 AM
I don't know why I see threads like this where people talk about the "death" of fiat, banks or anything that comes in front of crypto? Why shouldn't fiat be used just as it was since decades?
Why to eradicate banks from our society? Banks only lend people for their businesses and not everyone here can afford to learn about crypto or join this revolution by buying the expensive cryptocurrencies. I'm not against crypto, but I guess we need everything we already have, plus a few new things for a better tomorrow. Why remove anything out of them for our convenience?

When I mention "death" in the post, I meant the death of the old financial regime where banks own your money. Ca'mon, it wouldn't be posted any other way. We are still slaves of a regime where we are forced to receive our payroll through a Bank. In case the government has something against you, they have the power to take over what is yours and freeze your bank accounts. while cryptos give you back the power over your money and total financial freedom, banks own your money and decide if and when you can access it or not. So, why shouldn't I be pledging over the "death" of a corrupt Banking system when there is already a better system at our disposal?

I am a crypto enthusiast for a long time and i understand where's your sentiment is coming from. Maybe we can say that banks owned by government are functioning too far from what crypto can offer us. In banks, although it is our own money that is being deposited and yet, they still have the control on it and definitely have an access to our private accounts. But with crypto, our own money will have our own bank and no one can access or control it except by the owner alone. Of course, there is more security and convenience if we are putting our money in crypto than keeping it in banks.

However, i know the government also sees that but definitely won't allow such decentralized cryptos to replace over banks or fiat. Maybe in the near future, as crypto gets more massive adoption, then banks might face death if they can't totally adopt crypto.
2375  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Hodl or change? on: October 25, 2021, 10:43:07 PM
If someone bought the Dogecoin at the highest price, then it is better to wait or change it to other cryptos and make money by exchanges and swap?
I would say that getting out of doge at any price is a good choice.
There are other coins that you could make the loss back so there is really nothing wrong with that.
I personally wouldn't put any money into doge, I would stay away from it and have been staying away from it.

However, if you made a mistake back in the day and got in, there is no reason to keep it there, eventually it will go down more and more, and sure there will be some good times but that doesn't mean that it will stay like that forever. All in all I would get something more decent, get cake and stake it, get uni and stake it, get bitcoin if you want to but stay away from doge.
Dogecoin's hype was definitely over so we are seeing it already losing its value and is already in a low price. Those who have bought dogecoin when it was still very famous and its price was at its peak, holding it continuously today might only be a waste of time hoping that it could reach another ATH one of these days. Let's face reality that the time for dogecoin is already over, so its better to change it with another coin that has still a bright future ahead. There are a lot of choices to make since the market has both favored bitcoin and altcoins today. So choose what you think that has a great real use case so that its demand will continue to grow together with its value.

Don't forget that Melo was once a superstar who leads the Nuggets and the NYK during his prime, so scoring 28 points is not to be surprised.
His stats are getting better now compared with his stats on the Portland Trailblazers.

Now, he averaged 17.7 points, and that's decent enough for a player that is only paid less than 3 million dollars a year.

2377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: October 25, 2021, 08:40:08 PM
Despite being an exhibition fight, I'm anxious to watching it.
Mike Tyson was a great boxer (perhaps one of the best in the sport's history).

I saw some videos of Tyson training and he really is a monster! He's more than 50 years old, he's still fast and technical.

One question, is the height of Logan Paul and his wingspan that could make a difference against Tyson? Even though it's an exhibition fight?
Wouldnt be that effective since Tyson could easy block and avoid those sloppy jabs from Logan and also we've seen that stamina is really way too far off even Tyson had long time retired but
those qualities of being a great boxer does still remain and also he's still in shape even he's already old.

Just like on what others been saying.How long he could last or stand up if he would be hit that signature uppercut of Tyson?
Well business is business as usual.
Exhibition fights do really automatically means money and which is really an entertainment even those non-boxers would tend to challenge with those pro boxers whether active or retire it doesnt matter.
All they do just need is to make certain hype on which they could create because the more noise it has then the more money that they could have.It seems that Logan isnt still contented on
how much he did get on that Conor fight? And now we are seeing that he do set up some fight again against with the greatest boxer? LOL!!!!!!!!
That's correct, it means money but it doesn't mean that exhibition fights are scripted or rigged, it's not like Wrestling where there's a script that they follow. IMO, although this is called an exhibition fight, it's still as dangerous as professional boxing, so they also deserved to make money here as they are risking their life.
2378  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: advantages in the cryptocurrency industry on: October 22, 2021, 04:16:22 PM
There are 3 options to profit in the cryptocurrency industry. according to my version like this:
 - Trading: It is called a way to get more money by trading cryptos, either by transferring between them or by providing exchange services.
 - Investment: There are many cryptocurrencies with a good future, but I only recommend Bitcoin and Ethereum.
 - Gambling: sometimes beneficial and sometimes detrimental. I don't recommend it at all (risk high)
Don't invest yet until you're able to understand the whole concept of cryptocurrencies and how volatile this market is.
There is a process before you can do that, however, you can start by buying bitcoin with around the smallest amount that you can test to see how it feels like owning it but you won't feel the fluctuations since it's just a small amount.

But most of the time Trading and investment is the main thing for us to earn here in cryptocurrency other than this thing nothing else.
And there are a lot of altcoins that are on top in the market in which is good to buy aside from Bitcoin and Ethereum, in fact, Bitcoin and ETH are both reasonable good only for long term holdings only in my own opinion only.


eth and bitcoin are indeed feasible for long-term investments, but if you want a bigger profit, of course, many other altcoins have potential, so we can research them well and get double returns. On the other hand, of course, we have to take the risk into account
Altcoins can give us bigger profits even with short term holding, but definitely it has a higher risk. But for bitcoin and ethereum, they are more on long term holding because their value consistently making a price surge until it finally reaches their new ATH, and that's the time a huge profits can already be gain. Although it takes time before they reach their new ATH, but we can guarantee that they are really heading towards it.

However, if crypto has a lot of advantages, it has also its disadvantages. If crypto can make us rich through our hard earned profits from long term and short term investments, it can also be a reason why we still end up totally poor. Losses are inevitable if we are not careful with those coins we are putting our capital. So invest only on the amount we can afford to lose.

I hope there's free live streaming on this, yes, I believe this will be on Sunday and you know, Sunday is family time but you can't want this in our local channels so live streaming would be helpful. Sometimes we have free facebook live but the audio is not good and there are interruptions, so it would not really give us the entertainment we like to experience.

I used to post links for free live streaming here but the site for that one is taken down. Facebook live can be a good use sometimes but oftentimes the reception is not that good so I'm looking to subscribe to a site that offers sports like boxing and basketball in one, anyone got an idea on where to subscribe for these sports?



I have no idea if for basketball it's usually through NBA TV and for boxing, usually, it's for ESPN +.  Maybe if you have an account in a sportsbook that offers live betting, you can see the fight live without paying, I think stake.com offers free live streaming, you can check it out https://promotions.stake.com/live-streaming/.

I'm doubtful that they can get on NBA finals with this roster even if Klay Thompson back again. There is a lot of strong team right now that can shut down this splash brother easily compared during there prime.
Just wait until you see Klay, what if Klay Thompson played the same when he was not injured yet, I think you will change your mind. have you seen how the GSW beat the LA Lakers on the opening night? that means they are capable of beating even the team that people think will win the championship.
