2381  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you like to see Bitcoin prize stable between 10K-20K? on: July 13, 2019, 01:18:32 PM
Do you like to see Bitcoin prize stable between 10K-20K? or keep this pattern and behave like in past? 20K - 3K. I personally like to see bitcoin stable between 10K-20K. So everyone will happy for the situation.Open for discussion.

I think 10 to 20K is still a wild range. It can still devastate others if there is a sudden dump to 10k from 20K. I prefer bitcoin ranging from 17 to 20K. Good range for trading while not so disappointing for holders or investors. This price range will not hurt those who want to use it as a payment method.

Also, it is very strange that Kawhi accepted lesser money to join the Clippers.

That took me by surprise. Initial reports say he will sign for $141 M for 4 years but he signed for a 3 year $103M with player options on 2021. Maybe he turned down a max contract for future flexibility but right now, no one can really tell what Kawhi is thinking. He keeps on surprising us with his career moves.

The market for new exchange is already saturated. There are already too many exchanges available in the market that some of them do not have any volume.

The good side is that more tokens has the oportunity of getting listed on exchanges.
example; NCHT( nano healthcare)  project just got listed on etherbase exchange.

The bad side is, even if these tokens get listed to some new exchanges, there is very little chance they will be noticed or get some volumes. Most new exchanges have very little or fabricated volume. It is still best if it gets listed to established or popular exchange.
2385  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Libra the future anyone wants? on: July 11, 2019, 12:14:04 AM
Libra coin is just a blockchain based version of fiat. No true advocates of decentralized cryptocurrency would ever want that. But we also have to admit that there are millions of facebook users that are not into crypto, so those will be their target customers. The bad rep will be, those customers will consider it as true crypto since they are not well aware of bitcoin and true characteristics of a decentralized cryptocurrency.
2386  Economy / Gambling / Re: OneHash || Mutual Sports Betting & Casino 🎲 || Huge Cricket Promo 🏏 on: July 10, 2019, 10:47:06 PM
It would be a cool addon if i could click the teams, athletes, nobel price candinates etc on the betting side for more info, like stats, bio and such.
That would be cool and nice but I don't think it's necessary at all because I've check the other bookies, they don't have that kind of info.

It should be the job of the bettor to check those stats in some other sites. They are all for betting only but well if they will consider your suggestion that will be a good addition but as I've said I don't think that it's necessary.

True, i should be looking for info but i am lazy Cheesy. But it shouldn't be too hard for someone to code a script that parses that info. At least for the normal sports.

That is true. I feel the same way sometimes. There are times I just want to make bets and do not want to go in deep research or stats review. If there is a quick stat viewer on the site itself, it will be a great tool. I'm sure other gamblers will dig it as well for convenience.
2387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 10, 2019, 09:45:36 PM
The way I see it, the only good addition to the Lakers is AD, without AD it's still the same team that might not enter in the playoffs, but now they have AD so their chances increases, but I'm also concern on the 2nd unit, I mean they don't have a deep bench and most of its bench has no experience in the playoffs.

They still have a pretty solid closing 5 in Lebron, AD,  Danny Green, Kuzma, and Avery Bradley. On the bench, they have Cousins, Rondo and McGee, which have Finals experiences. Their bench is not too deep but it is not too shallow as well. If the five can be healthy most of the season, they are a solid finals contender.

all miners compete for 12.5bts
but who gives the tasks and what is calculated in these hashes?

The task is constant. It is to find the nonce that goes with the block so that it will have a hash that starts with a set number of zero's. The higher the difficulty, the more zeroes are needed. If you find this, you get the reward for the block.
2389  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC Dominance on CoinMarketCap on: July 10, 2019, 03:01:18 PM
I think there was a time that the dominance of bitcoin was dropping to below 50%. That was the time when altcoin like ETH and Ripple was rallying. That would be a healthy competition for cryptocurrency. But now, bitcoin is above 60% in dominance. I think a 30-40% market share for all altcoins is enough since most of them do not have real use anyway. Only a handful of altcoins can be considered useful cryptocurrency and should have a share in the market.
2390  Economy / Speculation / Re: Mark Yusko: Bitcoin can go up to $ 30,000 without correction on: July 10, 2019, 11:51:06 AM
Mark Yusko said in an interview that Bitcoin price can go up to $ 30,000 without correction.

What's your take on this?

Just another hilarious speculation. It can reach 30k in the future but doing it without correction is ridiculous. Once a new ATH is reach, always expect a dump will happen.Long time investors will cash out their profit. That will trigger a long correction.

When we reach 20k, it took one long year of correction and bear market. Imagine pumping it straight to 30 without any correction along the way, how long will be the bear market that will follow it in order to correct it? That would be frustrating.

No doubt LeBron will carry them all if needed just like what he did to his previous team. I wonder if there are players out there who can make a match with LeBron that would be challenging on their side since they have to harden their defense and offense if needed. But so far i can't find a worthy opponent for LeBron in the meantime. Cheesy

We already seen lebron getting shut before by gsw with their air tight defense. It can be done. And basketball is a team sports, not an individual game. When beating Lakers team, there are a number of teams that can do that. The first to come to mind is the new team of kawhi. Lakers may be strong with their line up right now, but I do not think it is unbeatable. It would be a thrill to watch these newly formed superteams clash next season.
2392  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin Cafe on: July 09, 2019, 10:35:46 PM
The cafe looks great. The owner of the cafe have good designs. About the name of the cafe, I can see the logic behind it. The owner is thinking that your country will change their position towards bitcoin. Thus, in anticipation of this event happening, he named his cafe Bitcoin Cafe. Right now, he won't accept bitcoin in accordance to the law of the country. But if the laws change, he can accept bitcoin as payment and he already owned Bitcoin Cafe name. No other cafe can name their cafe after bitcoin. Clever.
2393  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: can u send fake transactions in bitcoin ? on: July 09, 2019, 10:18:52 PM
what about making a transaction that will appear then will never be confirmed

What you are trying to do is make a double spend. You can do this by making a first transaction with zero fees. This will not be confirmed easily. Then you make another transaction with fees so that it will be confirmed faster than the first tx making the first invalid tx. Bitcoin is protected by this by waiting for a confirmation first.If you accept payments without confirmation, you are vulnerable to double spending.
2394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is parlay an effective betting strategy? on: July 09, 2019, 05:44:08 PM
Parley is just another method to market their bets to overconfident players.

I would disagree, if I'm confident, I would not do a parlay, I'll just put a decent amount on that bet, parlay bets is more on relying on your luck than on your skills.

Nope. I do parlay when I am confident that my bets are going to win. Single bets do not have any multiplier. But if you do parlay, then your potential winnings will exponentially grow. That is why some gamblers like to make combo bets, they can win big on small bets. You still use your stats and analytics on making the bets and not just relying on luck.
2395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20 on: July 09, 2019, 05:26:17 PM

Going back to Manny, I saw on local TV that he is training together with his son Jimuel.

https://sports.abs-cbn.com/boxing/news/2019/07/09/look-manny-pacquiao-s-son-jimuel-joins-training-session-58894
I also saw that and it seems his son is also into boxing. I just hope he can be as good if not better than his father so that the legacy will continue.

So he is training his son to follow his foot step? I think that's a lot of pressure for the son as his father will soon become a hall of famer and a legend.

It is natural to have some pressure because of what his father achieved. But what I heard is that it is his son's choice to do boxing. Training will come naturally for him and with Manny's guidance, he can be a top-notch boxer soon.
2396  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Let me introduce "Ending Game" on: July 09, 2019, 05:04:16 PM
This will work on basketball game or to any other game?

This can work in any game that has two teams and can score more than 20 points on each team. You only need to see the last digit of the score of the winning and losing team.

To some countries basketball isn't the major sports like in India, crickets is the usual game. The trouble is that some countries are into baseball and the scores just can't be. If there is an online betting for this lottery, many of us will try it with NBA games.

Cricket and baseball are scored differently, so, I guess this game is not applicable to those sports. I have not seen any online gambling site hosting this kind of game but it would be nice if they cater to this game.
2397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 09, 2019, 04:49:08 PM
With the warriors losing key players I think this opens the door for all the other borderline teams that can make a real push for the finals.

Warriors have lost some key players that you cannot cross them out as a contender. They are still a very strong team. Aside from that,  new superteams in the west are formed, both of them in LA. They can try but I am sure the new superteam will block them.

Looks like my Timberwolves team is one of the frontrunners to land Russell Westbrook and the media is not quiet about it.
It seems that they are pushing for this. They are pushing Wiggins out of their team. This is beneficial for OKC because they can easily trade Wiggins in the future rather than Westbrook. I think timberwolves will still benefit from Westbrook's athleticism.

If you do your own analysis you can personally take the decision on your own investment
Not everyone is financially literate. Even if you do your own analysis, making large investments have lots of pitfalls. 100K is already a large sum of money and I already have seen so many wasting money to investments because of unwise decisions. Financial advisers can help you in that aspect.


You never need to hire any advisor for crypto investment. There are plenty of scammers in this forum as well as outside their to scam you so don't be the victim on hiring someone.
Hope you can understand what I am saying.
OP does not intend to push crypto-investment to his friend's parents anymore because of the risk. They will hire a portfolio manager which is a wise choice. And investment is not limited to crypto and no one will take any investment advice from this forum seriously.

My mother says that what goes around comes around in medicine. Because the ticker of the bitcoin resembles the cigarettes in the Eastern europe, bitcoin is bad.  One can get intoxicated by simply reading the bitcoin ticker BTC.


That is just your personal fear. Maybe you developed a phobia because of your childhood experience. But I am sure that BT as a cigarette has nothing to do with BTC. And as addictive as bitcoin can be, it cannot give you tuberculosis.

But today you made a strange post

This made me think that his account may be hacked.
2400  Economy / Economics / Re: How can I start a business that offers crypto services? on: July 09, 2019, 01:43:34 AM
What would the process look like?

If I registered a business name and then got some business loans to buy more coin. It would be a HODL business. Or a boutique crypto investment firm. I just want that loan to buy and hold onto a bunch of coin and watch it soar. There would eventually be a legit service to offer through the business but at first I just want a giant loan to buy a bunch of bitcoin.

Sound idea? Yes or no

It is a bad idea to start a business with a large loan. Loans incur large interests while your business is just beginning. Normally, businesses suffer losses on the first six months before it can become profitable. That is six months without income while your loan gets larger. The worse is, you intend to put the loan in a crypto or coin. Bitcoin and altcoins are volatile. Without assurance that it will grow in a few months, you are potentially building a big debt on your name. This can put you in bankruptcy. You have to put this in mind and balance your risk before you commit in this venture.
