I can't wait until the second round starts, Greece will be facing USA there and that will decide on the cup a bit. I have watched USA beat Czechia and they did beat them with 21 points which was a lot of points but we are talking about Czechia here, I know they are not as horrible as some other teams but USA should have beat them much more.

I started watching I think on third quarter and for the first 4 minutes of the quarter USA either had 1-2 baskets that I can't remember but I swear it felt like they had zero, than all of a sudden some players took it upon themselves and started to score like crazy. The team tries to be a "team" but they fail miserably, whenever it turns to iso play they start to play very well because they are all better than the opponent, just not as a team.

I think they would have to give up something and they wouldn't want to give up anything for an aging Iggy. I have said this during all of playoffs and I am saying again Iggy wasn't a good player last year. Not just playoffs, he wasn't good all season. He still has a bit of defense left in him but he is just a huge void on offense and that is really not worth the time he gets.

Plus, clippers have a great lineup right now, PatBev-LWill-PG13-Kawhi-Harrel. That five is probably the best lineup in the league, they are literally bringing the defense back to NBA, it reminds me of the 2004 pistons times but during those years Pistons didn't had a superstar, the team as a general was good but no individual player was superstar, here in clippers they have Kawhi which is going for a GOAT debate if he wins a ring this year too and maybe PG13 could be considered a star too.
2463  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Are airdrops profitable and worth my time ? on: September 02, 2019, 07:58:51 PM
I never heard airdrops bring real serious profits to their members. Especially now, when the entire crypto market is in decline for the second year. Then why do something worthless?
Not many people can really boast of Ethereum paying them till date, most people have so much given up because most of the airdrops that we have joined even do not pay after waiting for so long, the only difference between campaign and airdrop is that airdrop does not tie ones time down like campaign does, so if you participate in 100 within a short space of time, at least you should be able to get at least 40 that will pay you.

This year has really not been a good one for the ICO industry, so many ICOs including airdrop has been so nonserious with their hunters, and they pay either peanut or they dot even pay at all, but we still cannot fold our arms and watch the good ones passes us by, out of those bad ones, we will still get some that will be good to us.
2464  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why transactions take so much time? on: September 02, 2019, 07:17:54 PM
Hello! To be honest, I'm so tired of waiting for transactions. I use changelly and I have to wait for my transaction for 5-30 minutes and that's exhausting. Do you know exchanges with faster transactions?
This same changelly is what someone said he has ported to after complaining about binance exchange, but here we have another complainants of changelly, and this is what I keep telling many people’ we can never get perfection from any of these projects like we want it, even if we were to run the project ourselves.

It is easier for us to perfect whatever we want from our heart than to get it real life. Changelly might be an issue to you now, but it may be still be one of the best that you will get. If you are looking for a more perfect exchange, you might never really get it, so we just have to manage whatever we have at our disposal provided we still get the job done within a short period of time. There is no other exchange you will still get than this.
2465  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum update on: September 02, 2019, 06:33:02 PM
ETH 2.0 is very much expected. But most likely we will be forced to exchange our coins. If we don't change them, they'll burn. It is a pity that so Buterin relates to their community. I've heard a lot of information about it. We will not be able to use our ETH coins as Ethereum 2.0 plans to introduce a new kind of wallet.
Why are they operating it like a Ponzi scheme, how can they burn people's coin without their knowledge, this is how many of these projects fail and they don't meet up to the standard of bitcoin. when bitcoin was created, there were many people that bought at the early stage and never take a look back until years later, if bitcoin has done what Ethereum intends doing, would there have been smile on people's face today, would those people who told their story on how bitcoin change their lives and through their testimonies attracted others, would they have been attracted to bitcoin?

Ethereum should please come up with another option please, because like me, I hardly check on my investment and i never even knew about this not until you said it, but how many people would know.
2466  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex locked me out on: September 02, 2019, 01:03:19 PM
You should have reported the incident and written a review of Bittrex. New users should know as much as possible about exchanges. Both positive and negative sides. This will allow you to have objective information. Your experience will help to avoid unpleasant surprises with Bittrex. I recommend leaving a review here - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bittrex.com  and https://revain.org/exchanges/bittrex
I guess that you are confused too because if you see what op write, you will see that the exchange has no issue. Op is probably trying to extend to some transactions that has gone beyond their free level, and they already drafted policy of KYC, and the moment you chose to use the exchange, then you are agreeing to go by the rules.

If the op fail to follow their rule, what do you expect them to do, they should leave the system open because he is Mr. president\/ since he does not want to go by their rues, they have every right to actually lock him out and that I dint think there is even need for reviews about them because they have not done anything so bad to me. Op does not want KYC then he should look for another exchange.

You have made a good decision to start trading because that is the easiest way for you to make a monthly income without having to work for another man, it is at the comfort of your home but it is quite a tedious thing, trading is not really easy, you have to be very careful that you trade with caution so that you dint lose your money, and to trade with caution, you have to ensure that you have got all the strategies that you need that will make you trade like a pro trader because you are not someone who has so much money to lose, so you have to guard your money jealously, there is no time to waste and there is no money to waste.

Please do not go into trading without making sure that you completely know how to make technical and fundamental analysis of trades.
2468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I don't know how to trust a gambling site nowadays! on: September 02, 2019, 09:03:42 AM
all users may have the same thoughts as you, personally I still can't trust 100% of all gambling sites... but I think like this, "if they cheat users then they are very stupid".. why so stupid??  because the turnover of money in gambling is very large, they are very stupid if cheating me as small user (small fish) because they will lose another user (big fish).

now we have been very helped because this forum is very helpful in dealing with fraudsters, just include proof of fraud in the thread "scam accusations" then the red flag will be sticky there.. good luck for all of us  Wink
I seriously commend this site on the job of controlling fraudulent sites, I am sure a lot of people would have been duped by now if not for the constant exposure of the activities of scam sites on this page but it still hasn’t stopped them from duping players but those who fall into this especially this period of time are players that do not pay attention to the instructions on the forum.

There is a constant advice of players not playing games in new sites and mainly unfamiliar sites but it baffles me why some people would still prefer to play here. The reasons are not legit enough to me, why would you risk your money, isn’t it safer to play on well-known sites?

Well, for me I don’t trust any sites, even the old sites cannot be trusted totally. It is only more preferable to new sites.
2469  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SPORTSBET.IO / SPORTS BET IO ... SCAMMED ME FOR $150K USD + on: September 01, 2019, 07:51:17 PM
There is no way to claim this money back, you can use all the lawyers in the world and best case scenario you will make sportsbet.io eventually give up and give you the money back but without really spending insane amount of money you can't do that, and I mean like way over 150k for that. You have to pressure them into viral negative reviews as well and you have to make everyone go against them in a boycott type of deal. These are all improbable things so at the end of the day you are not gonna get this money back no matter what.

You will however learn to read the rules next time and you will not make these same mistakes like making 3 accounts to go around the rules and using VPN to look like you are from another country and so forth, these rules are there for a reason and sportsbet has every right to keep your money.
2470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 on: September 01, 2019, 07:29:51 PM
Race is not really that important when it comes to basketball because you pick the most athletic and tallest players, for example in many of the teams we see in the league there are players who are over 2 meters in height, no nation has that type of average, not even Americans even though they are known to be a bit taller than Asian countries for example, they are still not over 6'6 all the time but looking at NBA roster everyone is over 6'6 except few guys. Looking at countries like Japan for example, they are normally short people but they have people like Rui or Watanabe who are tall.

So, when it comes to national teams you only need 10 or so people and in any nation you look there must be at least 10 tall people, its all depending on how much that country cares about basketball, if you spend time and money and build a whole system for it than you can raise very good players.
2471  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: you can be the richest man in the world if you travel to 2013 time machin on: September 01, 2019, 06:10:07 PM
I would time travel back to the first person who created fiat money, and kill them. I would also time travel back further to anyone who is fractional reserve banking, and kill them to.
Lol, probably you would have been in jail by now and from there to hell fire, so you see that some of these people are not really worth wasting our time on, if I had the power to travel back in time, I would like to travel to when it was being decided that I should be born and then reject ever coming to this world because everything generally in this world is a mess.

There might not have been fiat money, but there would have also been a system that may even be worse than fiat, so it's a good thing that we have seen the damages that fiat has caused and how bitcoin has been introduced to correct it which they are still resisting, which my second option for time travelling would be to wen satoshi was creating bitcoin, I would have loved to be his partner so that I can also have at least 1 million satoshi in my account also.
2472  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin already won ? on: September 01, 2019, 05:31:54 PM
https://youtu.be/UF528l8fqKk

Bitcoin is pretty much already considered Gold 2.0. Is that enough ? Does it still need to become a currency from here on ? Or is it the new "Gold Standard" that other currencies will be measured by ?
I think that the main objective is the currency side of it and we cannot limit it to gold alone, which means we will be limiting it to being store of value while it can also serve as both gold and currency. What is the problem with our financial system is not investment right now, and we have more things to deal with.

The problem is the general financial system that has rotten and the limitation to some transactions within the traditional banking system using fiat, and this was known to be the main reason n was created to have that has primary function while store of value which we refer to as that gold 2.0 is just the secondary function of it which I usually term the reward focusing bitcoin system. It is a good thing that bitcoin is gradually gaining the store of value title, but what of the currency aspect?
2473  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Digital Currency can Activate Someone's Financial Freedom? on: September 01, 2019, 04:39:12 PM
The system has been developed to bring financial freedom to anyone that understand it well and decide to apply it to that particular area where it would be useful, which makes it depend on the approach of each and every one of us to it and our belief about it. There are so many people that no matter what they do in the crypto space, they don’t get it right and reason why you see many of them criticizing the crypto space or against what you have said.

From the first point, people don’t believe holding it as an assets, but we have seen how holding it has paid for some people in the past, and mining, mining may be expensive, but those than can handle it will surely get the financial freedom while trading is still the easiest way to me because you get instant result on that one.
2474  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ‘Failed Safe Haven Test ' agreed on by a BTC Bear & BTC Bull on: September 01, 2019, 04:07:31 PM
For now, no one does not know that bitcoin investment is not with risk and no one would fully say that it is completely safe haven; there are many people that make investment with their mind and not their emotion, so you still see them diversify into other investments like bonds also.

For now, the volatility of bitcoin is really yet to give him that full tittle of safe haven, and until the coin is fully recognized and legalized  before many of the investors you see in it can term it as safe haven, and I believe that in future, it would surely carry that tittle, but that still doesn’t mean that people will rely on it alone as source of investment, gold and other forms of investment will always make it in the investment plan of many investors same as bitcoin will also.
2475  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Tokens - How To Get Them? on: September 01, 2019, 10:55:48 AM
All who are here, I am very sure that they are very interested and want to have a lot of crypto assets in their wallet, because crypto gives a surprise to its holders
They sure do, but you must be able to play your own art too that you invest in those cryptos that would give you that surprise, cryptos that when you hold and see in future, you will be happy that indeed you have very good assets not like some of the cryptos that we have in  our portfolio now that you don’t know if they are still breathing or not because they have very little life in them, and when you succeed in eventually gathering coins that are of good essence, I think the next thing should  be the wallet, which brings me to the part of op.

The HB wallet is actually one of the greatest wallets that I have seen so far, I have few of my projects in it, although I prefer to use hardware wallet which is where I store majority of my tokens, including some of these shot tokens too.
2476  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Not a must to promote every bounty projects on: August 30, 2019, 05:59:01 PM
many bountie hunters have been deceived by the bounty scam project and one of them is you ... that's in my opinion ... because you are so worried about your BTT account that you have to worry about something that is not important ... because the bountie hunters here are already very smart in choosing the best bounty to follow and promote on social media or the public ... so don't panic too much ..
I have heard you, as if it is that easy to discern the right project to promote when each one of them virtually look alike. In this my small life and with this my small head, do you know how many project that i have tried to analyzed? And yet the majority of them still come out bad.

Scamming is not only limited to developers just running away with money, do you know that even entering the market and then dumping this coin is also a professional way of scamming people. So tell me how that so called smart person you said will be able to know that they will dump the project in future. Nothing is guaranteed really, that is why you see many hunter posting that ico market is gone because they no longer visit there meanwhile, ico is still very much active in terms of release of projects.
2477  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My greatest crypto regret on: August 30, 2019, 04:47:26 PM
We are not a fortune teller, for us to think that something like Bitcoin will worth thousands of dollars in the future, we have our own regrets until now, because there are so many coins coming in the market, but because of lack of knowledge, and insight we failed to analyze it's potential in the future and so we missed the opportunity of buying these coins.
There is too much of those coins for us to start analyzing them, if I may ask you, do you think you can analyses over 2000 altcoins? Analyzing these coins requires through investigation for your to really be able to know their future, and you know the time it takes to analyses each of these coins?

We can only use our discretion or based on people’s recommendation and opinion to pick some of those coins to analyze which some of them will still end of failing, in fact aside bitcoin, until now, it is still very much more impossible for you to really know the future of those coins, as everything all  depends on the project team, and only them can really tell of their strength and mindset towards the project that they released to the public.
2478  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the ICO dead? on: August 30, 2019, 04:08:34 PM
Just because there are thousands of them doesn't mean its not dead, I still think its not "dead" but its dying and all those thousands of projects are made just so people could make easy money and nothing else.

It is a job offer that nobody can refuse, if I told you that you can create a coin right now and try to build it and make it one of the top 50 coins of the coinmarketcap right now and be paid 6 figures for such a job, wouldn't you take it? There are hundreds of millions of people that would take that job, hell probably over a billion people, hence having thousands of these things mean nothing, its exactly what it suppose to be, a free money method that many people try and fail.

Hopefully, there are few diamonds in the rough and they become something good but usually they are worth nothing.
2479  Economy / Economics / Re: What are some not so obvious things that damage a country's economy? on: August 30, 2019, 03:13:32 PM
The internet or social media should be able to provide a positive influence on the country and in my opinion this has been proven in several countries with the emergence of many new entrepreneurs who open online shops. The internet or social media should not reduce the level of productivity because the aim is to speed up access and transactions
Social media has its positive side also, we have some people that just like to cling on the negativity when they see it, like my brother up there said, social media should nor cause depression for people became use you are seeing the lifestyle others are living, one thing that people should understand is that we have so many fake lives on social media, and the real them is not what they portray, and when you see the real them, you will realize that your own life is even better. 

When we use social media, we should only use it for news purpose only and we should always filter or verify whatever news we see. I know that social media has really caused lots of war within country because of the utterances of some media, but we can chose to just ignore it, it is just the human factor and reasoning that is affecting those that are making social media news affect them.
2480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto - Evidence Here on: August 30, 2019, 02:41:55 PM
This Satoshi Nakamoto claiming never stops to be honest and i don't care for craig wright. Real Nakamoto never reveal himself in the public eye because of what he had done to bitcoin's success and for sure with bitcoin he has in his wallet he wants stay anonymous for life.
What does he need the public to know him for/ even if they want to praise him and donate money for him, it still cannot be up to that whooping sum of 980,000 bitcoin that he has in his wallet, and seeing that alone is what keeps him company. If Craig claim to be satoshi, why has he not then proved that to the world by taking just 1 bitcoin out of the coin and donating it to the charity organization, but he can’t do that and yet he wants to be satoshi.

I think that the court has really even declared the judgment against him and he is now officially declared to be a scammer and this will hunt him for the rest of his life because no friend and family would want to do any business with him thinking that he will defraud them also. I think that we should close the chapter of this guy now because he is a forgotten fellow already.
