2521  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin dominance hits 65%, alts lagging behind on: December 18, 2020, 11:17:49 AM
Things are pretty different this year, this time in 2017 every altcoins are already very bullish but this time around bitcoin dominance seem stronger, since more funds are been poured into Bitcoin I think bitcoin Bullrun won't get done anytime sooner, and if dominance remains at 65% altcoins won't get any better chance

It's because this bull run is very different from 2017. This time bitcoin completely dominates the altcoin market, while altcoin has it's up and down, not very consistent like we have seen in 2017. Maybe Altcoins investors doesn't want to rush and FOMO and just waiting for the right time to invest. Although Defi had it's time already, but it didn't sustained as there are scams and hacks everywhere.

So I would say bitcoin dominance will continue specially if we hit $25k-$30k next year. And altcoin will continue to suffer because all the money are going to flow into BTCitcoin.

I agree with you, look at the market now, it's so obvious, the dominant rate of bitcoin barely change significantly, and even if bitcoin will reach $30k or even $50k, altcoins will still slowly follow but I don't believe they will suffer because at the moment, some also looks profitable.

BTW, current odds are -5000 for Mayweather and +1500 for Paul.

Odds says Mayweather will win, but would would take that odds, you have to be $5000 to win $100, that's too much trust.
There's still a big risk on that odds although we believe that Mayweather will not lose, what if he would intentionally lose in this fight and take big money from doing that? What I'm seeing, this is an exhibition, game, it can be rig, either by the judge or the players themselves, so we have to be careful on backing a fighter here.
2523  Economy / Economics / Re: Coronavirus is very harmful to fiat currencies, not bitcoin on: December 18, 2020, 09:30:07 AM
You're correct Corona infection isn't hurtful for bitcoin rather it encourages the bitcoin to develop more.
At the point when the infection happens numerous business goes down and people groups begin remaining at home.
All the stocks market shut down and individuals begin thinking to put resources into bitcoin and digital currency, which changed the bitcoin market.
Presently bitcoin cost is higher in contrast with the most recent year cost.


The pandemic gives bitcoin an opportunity to be introduce to the world, the money that is coming now are institutional investors according to some news, so this is a good thing for bitcoin because it will strengthen its future. We will not miss this opportunity now, and I think even if the vaccine will be release and will be distributed worldwide, bitcoin will remain positive, it might dump a bit but its certainly due to corrections only.
2524  Economy / Speculation / Re: New ATH then correction of 35%+ on: December 18, 2020, 08:54:16 AM
Happy 20k everyone!

This may be the ATH breakout and then breakdown I originally spoke about. See my last post about my definition of ATH and let's see if early next year we get a 30-35% correction as people capitalize on tax deferral into 2022 by selling in 2021 January.

We are now setting new records I hope that 35% correction will not happen it's just to huge it's more like a big crash, it will not happen if the holders do not sell, yes they can sell some but not ll of it or half of it, we do not have the luxury of going down to the $15000 then coming back again, it's like we are starting all over again.

If we have survived from a big correction in the past, I think we will if it will happen.
Don't be afraid or get worried with the correction, it has already become a normal in the market now.

If bitcoin will stop at $25000, then we will have to dump at $16,000+ and we will be stable at that price.

Please get yourself used to it as it's how the market move.
2525  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price in 2020. on: December 18, 2020, 08:38:17 AM
$700-800 is realistic and high to close at the end of 2020. because I think just now in mid-December 2020 the price will be at $ 583 if it can go up and running fast. maybe $700-800. but this is just basic speculation yet to be proven
But in my opinion $700-800 is too high to be achieved in such a short time, looking at the current ethereum prices it is already very good and in my opinion in 2 weeks ethereum will only be able to reach the price of $600-650 only and will not be more
Bitcoin last bull run was just almost $20,000 and yet ETH rises to $1400, now, it has not hit even half of its ATH despite the fact bitcoin has already break its current ATH, maybe there's really a problem in altcoins, the hype is not here anymore, most people or investors are just into bitcoin.
2526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ POLL ]: Boxing - Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev - JOSHUA WINS IN ROUND 9 on: December 18, 2020, 07:38:29 AM
I think boxing media thinks that Joshua will just steam roll on Pulev and the fight shouldn't last for 9 rounds before that knockout. He had him in round 4 on the canvass already if I'm not mistaken and it took another 5 more rounds to finish him.

So that's why he didn't get the praise that he was supposed to get in this fight. They think that Joshua is now playing safe and not aggressive enough to go for an early knock down.

Pulev's performance was disappointing, but he wasn't that bad to give a 4th round knockout victory to Anthony Joshua. AJ had to work hard for his win, and it was not a cakewalk. The outcome was more or less certain, as the odds were heavily favoring Joshua. But the next match against Fury will be different, and there he will be the underdog. On top of that Fury is in top form right now.

It wasn't an intense game for Puleb, he talked so much outside the ring only to get himself knockout inside the right. Pulev try to market the game but people are not happy, they are also expecting that Joshua will win easily and not to take this fight longer.

Well, maybe we can consider this fight as a tune up fight for Joshua in this big fight with Fury, but people should already know now who is the better fighter between Fury and Joshua although they both are winners on their previous respective fights.

I agree with you.

The performance of Pulev was a bit underwhelming IMO especially that I was expecting it to be a close fight. AJ gave him a run for his money and his trash-talking, though everything was done in order to market the fight.
After the game, I watched about AJ saying that 'let it be Tyson Fury'. This game will surely be exciting and I want to see this happening in the near future! If such game continues, I'm betting all of my money to the Gypsy King!

Same here, no hesitation, Fury will KO Joshua with the way he is fighting now, he is big but Fury is big as well, so this is going to be a great fight. I think betting on Fury to KO Joshua, that way you'll get a good odds as Fury is already a favorite to win this fight.
2527  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Big Short movie, BTC edition? on: December 18, 2020, 07:24:22 AM
after the pump there will definitely be a dump, but currently the bulls still dominate,
so for dumps it looks like we still need more time, the most important thing is that we have to be careful,
don't be greedy when buying and selling Bitcoin,
What can you expect, if it will continue to pump and will not dump, it's not a bitcoin market anymore, it's not its usual, so we should be aware with that. This is not a big short movie because bitcoin does not end, or will not end, it might have a dump moment but the price in overall are growing, which makes it a solid investment.

because we are not in the trading zone.
That entirely depends on our individual treatment on bitcoin.
2528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin do you trust, BNB or ETH? on: December 18, 2020, 06:52:08 AM
If I have to select from these two then I would always loved to choose ETH over BNB. BNB is a good coin but as per the potential and if we see it as long-term wise then ETH would always remain, investors favorite. Those who seeing long picture here are definitely going to select ETH.
Yes. Ethereum has much more to offer than BNB.
It is recognized that BNB is one of the good exchanges token but why is it that most new projects are still turning into ERC20 token.
Means that they're still choosing ETH even though BNB has the same to offer.
https://medium.com/@bishop.and/logan-lucky-a-worthy-heist-movie-9e5797b802b7
ETH will be around for a long long time. There are serious people involved and it is backed a lot.
Backed by a big community. And it wouldn't come into ETH 2.0 if there's no community that backs it up.
While the developers are actively continuing the project, what I don't like about them is for sure they will also dump along its way to rise.
But it's a fact that ETH is sustainable although the same with BNB but it's just ETH is more favorable.
I think there's been no big competition yet since BNB has not surpass the success of ETH yet, the only hype of BNB now is their exchange which we can't deny it's really doing well and been dominating as the number 1 exchange in the market, but other than that, I don't see anything special on BNB for now.

Now even electoral college decided, literally the thing that suppose to pick the president has decided. What are they defending now?
I guess sportsbook have already settled the bets, betbtc confirmed it here.
All 2020 US Presidential bets have been settled at BetBTC.

We appreciate your patience.  Wink

Therefore, I believe other sportsbook have also settled the bets already, otherwise we will see some post here complaining.
Silence means they are already satisfied and enjoying their big winning.

I really think they are paid already that's true that if they didn't get their payouts some people here will complain already. Well it's pretty obvious that Biden won the election just this Trump can't accept it.

I've read in the forum that there are sites that have already settled the bet early, before December 15, I can say they did a great job because the decision was not a messed, Biden still wins.
2530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 on: December 17, 2020, 10:51:36 AM
Agree, the McGregor and Mayweather fight is purely just for a show and money. Switching from one sport to another is difficult for any athletes, you cannot make a boxer out of an MMA player over night or even in a month. Mayweather's exhibition matches will not make too much hype and excitement as it was before he retired boxing.
But I guess Mayweather is afraid to get a loss in this fight, base on the article that I read (posted below) Mayweather was trained hard and risking his position or did not take his exhibition fight against Logan Paul. However, we will expect that Mayweather will win this fight but who knows if Logan Paul will luckily beat Mayweather that would be a big jackpot on him.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-9062923/Floyd-Mayweather-train-exhibition-fight-against-YouTuber-Logan-Paul.html

But let see what will happen, this fight will bring excitement even though just for money and entertainment.

The article only said that but Mayweather knows his opponent is just an amateur, he can play with him because Mayweather is not a kind of a fighter who would knock out an opponent early, maybe this will end until the last round but for sure Mayweather would win.

Articles are just hyping the fight, the writer could be paid to promote a fight, or the writer just trying to caught the attention of the people to read his article.

2532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: December 17, 2020, 07:23:48 AM
I don't know what's the other plan of Milwaukee Bucks. Taking care and securing Giannis is useless if they will not look at the branches to support the tree. They are literally choking every playoff. They should at least learn about what things they are lacking since the Raptors shutdown Giannis in their 2019 playoffs match.
What could be missing?
Veteran support?
I want to see if DJ Augustin can maximize the skills of Giannis. I mean, he is the playmaker and should be in sync with every player on the floor.
If he could successfully perfect plays that are meant to strengthen their offense then I bet they could win a championship.
With Jrue, DiVincenzo, and Middleton as wingmen, it should be an easy task to spread the floor leaving them free to shoot the three or attack the paint.
A lot of options now, the ball doesn't need to stay with Giannis just to make a turnover.

Ginanis needs to learn how to maximize every players that he have inside the court.

He needs to act as a leader and be like Lebron or KD, not just poweing himself inside but be matured enough to create space and help his teammates to bring out something from their individual skills, it's too early to judge out this new rotations that they've got, preseason is just a blending part while waiting for the regular one. Hope this time they'll be able to get their way to the finals.

Which means he needs to improve, unfortunately, Giannis is not a good ball handler, he doesn't have the skills like Lebron James who can play as PG. Giannis best chance to be efficient inside the court is to master his 3 point shooting, because if not, he will be so easy to predict.
2533  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big Merchants Now Accepting Bitcoin on: December 16, 2020, 11:04:01 PM
They say the big reason why the market is bullish now is because of institutional money getting invested, I think they are correct because we are now seeing a new ATH. The current price is already @21k and still growing.

So probably if the price will become more stable, merchants would enjoy adding bitcoin as it's getting more popular now.

Hopefully this would not result to a big dump, it might disappoint people from investing again, well, if it's true that it's the institutional money getting invested, then we can be confident that it will not dump.
2534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The biggest 10 countries that gamble the most. on: December 16, 2020, 10:50:06 PM
why the country name is Macau and Hong Kong,why not called China,Macau and Hong Kong are just two cities in China.
They are special and autonomous region and they are likely called as individual places near to being a country.
Hongkong is much fighting for that freedom that they've been tied with China for a long time.
That's what I understand from these two small places, can't still call it a country although there is a belief that they should be already.
When people think of China, gambling is illegal in China so it's not attractive, in Macau though it's part of China, gambling there is legal. Just like the Vegas, why isn't it listed or called USA, because Vegas is specific and people would easily know where to gamble, that's my thoughts.
2535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: December 16, 2020, 10:28:03 PM
Lakers will probably focus on defense but they also prepare for offense as well, they do not just have one offensive scheme they use for every game, they are usually ready with a new offense for each team, they find their weak spot and attack there.

Having a team that is mainly defensive these days is not a fresh deal, everyone talks about how Warriors were amazing offensively and that is how they won a championship but look at their defensive stats on the years they became champions, you will realize that they were amazing defensively as well; which is why I think a team that has superstars but also focuses on defense will usually win the title. That is why Clippers were seen as the best team last year, since they had PG13 and Kawhi who were amazing defensively.
Lots had anticipated that LAC would be seen in finals but what happened? Even with Bucks too and other powerhouse teams. We didnt even anticipate that Heat will able to break and
push though the finals where most people doesnt really care that much about this one but rather focuses into those team which had some superstars.

Lakers is both good in defense and offence.I would rather see on enhancing their rhythm and passing side to lessen up their turnover mistakes.

Now that other teams had different roster then lets see if they can still retain into their current the same line-up.

Heat will remain an underrated team, they reach the NBA Finals but they didn't give the Lakers a good series, I mean, Lakers just dominated them and end the series in game 6. The favorites in the East now are the Nets since KD and Durant is back while Heat stays on the same line up, they may go to playoffs again but they might not enter in the NBA Finals.

I'm looking at the positive side of history, I would be glad to see if it will really repeat so I will make a decision that I failed to make during the last bull run. However, I'm not so confident it will happen but hopefully things will be the same so everyone could correct their mistakes.

The last bull run, particularly in 2017 taught us a lot of lesson, it would be so stupid if we will still allow ourselves to do the same mistakes again.
2537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: December 15, 2020, 11:02:18 PM
Probably the last season of Giannis in a Bucks jersey if they will come up again short this season. Cheesy

https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/nba/bucks/2020/12/15/giannis-antetokounmpo-signs-supermax-milwaukee-bucks/3843891001/

He will signed a supermax deal with the Bucks, I doubt if he will be traded even if the team will fall short this season.
The coaching staff has to be replace I guess, I think that's the first thing they have to do, just like what they did with the Clippers.

Players are not usually the problem, it's the coaching IMO.

Talking about Ball brothers, Liangelo was signed to pistons for 10 day exhibition contract which is basically a way of saying they want to keep him at their gleague team, which ended and he was waived right away, he didn't even played in a single preseason game which shows how far away he is from actually being in the nba, if you are not good enough for preseason, you are not good enough for regular season for a whole year.

Not checking yet the details about that but it's that the same on Tacko Fall's contract?

Well, if that what happened, the other Ball brother should not rush things.

There are still lots of room for improvement. Lots of chances for him to be drafted.

He has the talent, I saw his highlights but he needs to take this slowly and be more patient, eventually things will be better and his ultimate dream will be achieve. Hopefully he will not feel bad that his brothers are already playing in the NBA but he hasn't played yet ,he is still in the D-league but that's what it is, improve so you'll be ready in the big stage.
