AXS is very popular and comes with it is a price which is already high. the first time i encounter the project is was just $3 just last month. it jumped high in a matter of a month. seen it on tv where it's featured in a documentary. very impressive game and it won the hearts of the regular player outside blockchain community.

one of the projects i've seen which were promoted by popular streamers was ECOMI (OMI). its price however isn't moving. but I've read some discussions about it which they say is positive.
2562  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons for newbies loss in bitcoin on: July 21, 2021, 08:14:45 AM

not just newbies but some knowledgeable people with great careers in real life thought Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are hedges to inflation and the collapse of fiat. they must have heard of some influencers on youtube who made them decide to invest. they see Bitcoin to be the savior because, since the start of 2021, it's rising.

Most of those in the country, who lost money in the crypto crash of 2021 are small-time crypto traders  who find it easy to access trading apps on their mobile phones, but do not have access to the knowledge necessary to crypto trade.

its when they thought that's just how easy to trade. well now they must have realized it's not. using the phone is easy but analyzing markets take a lot of experience.
2563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on: July 20, 2021, 12:11:19 PM
No doubt fighter needs to connect to the right place, but it hurts even through block. Will Jake has enough courage to take punches through blocks or he will stop the fight because it hurts? As a pro athlete, Woodley has a higher pain threshold than Jake.
If Jake Paul is not having a pain threshold he will not be fighting and making money rather he will be making youtube videos and make his living, they are not afraid to get hit and i personally might not fight for money even if anyone would offer me huge money as that is not what i want but they are brave enough to come forward and literally they can humiliate in front of the entire world.

that might be true. the brothers have the balls to fight these MMA fighters even Floyd but i'm sure they don't just fight because they can, it's also for money. they made themselves influencers for money that's why they are doing it on youtube. challenging fighters to clash with them is the easiest way to make money, they found a good niche for their vlogs. all they need is a promoter who also wants to make money.

although we know now that logan can knock just as he showed with askren, it's still risky for him knowing woodley is also an experienced MMA.

Maybe we say it's the easiest way to make money because we haven't seen one of the brothers got brutally KO'd yet. If it's all scripted, then maybe it's easy to make money with the risk of getting injured, but we've seen some of the fights that an opponent sleep on the canvas because of the clean punch.

if you've seen this fight, you'll be concerned about Nate Robinson's health.

NATE ROBINSON GETS KNOCKED OUT BY JAKE PAUL!

it takes a good boxer to make a perfect timing like that. he either really is a good boxer or just a lucky punch. juan ma lopez took 4 fights against pacquiao to have finally done it and then claimed it was his fight plan. who knows. most of the time when an opponent is about to launch a combo, the other one backs away before throwing a counter punch. in this case, they are both launching.

i just watched the whole fight. lol certainly this nate doesn't have a boxings skills.

2564  Economy / Economics / Re: Does studying Economics in School make one to be economical or what on: July 20, 2021, 11:14:37 AM
if you take business in college you should economics class. i never learn to trade even after economics 104 but i did learn history and how money works. if you mean by economical like you become frugal, you don't. i'm not sure what you will become if you take economics as a major actually. maybe teach i see some proffesors are majors or phd of economics.

Considering that it is not clear to us what the OP means by "economical", I will say what I think.

If he means someone who knows economics in a practical way, I would say not necessarily. A relative of mine studied economics and has no idea how income tax works. If you mean someone who knows personal finance, not necessarily either. An acquaintance of mine who is a bank manager (who also studied economics), when I told him that I was investing told me that he lives paycheck to paycheck. His only form of savings and investment is a mortgage.

maybe he meant that after eating an apple, he will still find ways to make use of the apple's seed and the leftovers in the middle that he won't be eating are for the pigs. that's still economical.

Not guaranteed, though as usual team USA is an allstar team, but teams like France, Italy, Spain, and Argentina has always had a chance at winning.
France might be the toughest opponent for the team USA in the first bracket, someone mentioned about what happened between the France and USA matchup in 2019.
Though I agree USA roster is looking great this year, but you can't take away the fact that France is also a good team.
Again, they (USA) have a huge chance and most favourite to win the Gold medal, but those teams I have mentioned will surely give them a good match.

Is it worth to make a bet in favor of the United States? The odds are -900 or -1000. Even if you put $1000 on them, at the most you will receive $100. But then there is always a chance of an upset. IMO, it is not worth the risk to make a bet in their favor. What if 2019 repeats? I would rather go for Australia, France, Spain or Argentina. Italy also looks good. The unpredictability is higher this time, due to the COVID 19 situation. Although the chances are very low, what would happen if some of the main players become unavailable all of a sudden?

the chance of an upset is always there seeing there are popular names. not a chance when only 10% for the win, maybe they Keldon to be a big advantage already. but you see Spain didn't make it easy for them to win they also have superstars with them, i'm not very familiar.

Australia has better payers but there's also Rubio and Scola in Argentina's team.

2567  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto Winter Is Coming, Warns Experts on: July 19, 2021, 12:46:27 PM
Analysts at JP Morgan and DailyFX claim that we are in a cryptocurrency winter. However, other analysts, including John Bollinger, disagreed. The creator of the technical indicator of the Bollinger Bands believes that Bitcoin has already recorded a price floor of $ 30,000.
Why do we have to listen to opinion from JP Morgan? JP Morgan and Jamie Dimon have bad history with their statement about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

The floor of Bitcoin for the mini bear market in middle of a big bull market is unknown. It can be around $30,000 but worse it can be around $20,000 but I agree with Bollinger that Bitcoin is not in a winter season. After a found bottom, Bitcoin will have a few months of side way and will take off again.

I believe that the real bottom can be lower than $30,000 because whales can try to dump more and bring a cheap price back, for their re-accumulation. Additionally, from VPVR, support below $24,000 is very weak that can be compromised by whales to cause a terrible crash.

Has the Spring point in the Wyckoff pattern been touched yet?  Cheesy
It is an advantage to read from people like you with long time experience and from the forum that we are still in the middle of bitcoin bull market. Although everyone is asking for evidence, even if they are shown they wont understand. The only advice to those capitulating is to keep their coin in stable coin and accessible any time to buy back when new ATH is found this year.

the reason is that they see the price is not going up for weeks while they are losing money. and when fud still continues with the regulatory crackdown fear of losing more is stronger than them waiting for the price to rise. when it's about to break the support on $30,000, it's going to make more holders sell because the fud was that it will drop to $24,000. it will prove we are in the winter season.

they were saying that you can profit 5% daily from the project. so that is a very big amount for it to be legit. a friend asked me about it since i'm known to them being an investor in crypto which i also said is a scam. glad to have told them to avoid it.

people don't have jobs. pandemic makes these people find ways to make money and maybe they see the muyan66 to be an alternative. thinking they could profit before it's going to vanish.
2569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Funding project development through slot gaming token on: July 18, 2021, 08:54:19 AM

the benefit of having their token is just so we can participate in their games and also profit when the token is on the market. it sounded no different to other projects actually. there are even casino tokens like that today. betfury, bethash or the earnbet tokens has these properties which are also created by the casino which also have a slot game.

there has to be a new feature for it just to hype it up. but why chose cardano?
2570  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [VIDEO]: Bitcoin Exists Only in Satoshi's Imagination on: July 18, 2021, 08:08:43 AM
It is a fact  that yor address has electronic entry in the form of a number. Number that quantifies/represents the amount of bitcoins.
That's an assumption. The address just represents units of debt. If two people agree that they can debt each other using this system, then they have every right to do so. Just like how dollars represent debt, Bitcoin does too. It has no difference, other than the force of the dollar usage.

If you believe that Bitcoin is an imaginary thing, then you should do this for the dollar too. Although, I believe that the word “imaginary” is subjective. I'd rather call it “intangible”.
You  people  are full of imagination. Bitcoin does not represent debt like dollar. There are no debtors, creditors, loan contracts, or collaterals. Bitcoin is imaginary. In your wallet you hold a number that quantifies imaginary bitcoins. That's all. Watch the video again.

you should know that fiat is not backed by anything in comparison to BTC. if the government declares it no valuable anymore, then it's zero. but who would declare BTC to be of no value? to answer that NO ONE.

Bitcoin is created through a mathematical equation in which miners have to spend energy this at least is hard work not by just printing. the intrinsic value goes up because it's the network of users who ask/bid.




2571  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Cardano overthrow Ethereum? on: July 18, 2021, 05:11:11 AM
Yes, ADA is a potential coin but it is not easy to replace ETH, at least ADA should be able to drop the BNB position so that it has a chance to beat ETH. But that won't be possible though in the future.
Both will not be possible in the near future or in the future, because BNB which is very close to ETH alone has not been able to beat ETH, moreover ADA is still very far from ETH level, as well as defeating BNB, ADA coins still need a breakthrough new so that it can drop BNB, because BNB is now very strong with its BSC support.

must be true. majority of us will likely see the success of BNB close to overthrowing ETH for the fact that almost all ERC20 tokens also have BSC version of it including their own BNB token. by what they are doing, it seems to really have propagated throughout but its price also isn't close to ETH.

most dev today seem to be developing a project aiming to overthrow ETH, even JackDorsey's project was also about bringing down ETH. what have we done to the world mama?  Grin
2572  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Huge gains and still holding ? on: July 18, 2021, 03:59:21 AM

it's probably not greed but because the holder expects more than what it's ATH. it does have an effect on him when the money that he should have in his wallet is draining while he isn't doing something to prevent it.

it's not the first time we see a user who had tried holding an old coin that is still disappointed after years. you need to remind a friend that all coins don't have the demand like Bitcoin. stop him from looking for a coin that will act like Bitcoin in terms of price. there is nothing like it.
2573  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the popularity of cryptocurrency continue? on: July 17, 2021, 03:22:30 PM

few months ago there was a user who said that the population of crypto users is just 1% of the total population of the world.
it could be that we are just concentrating on news media that regularly posts about BTC and its adoption or not minding the news of regular people anymore because certainly if we in crypto are just 1% of the entire population, what price could BTC have if we reach 20%.

with El Salvador adoption though,  i think there could be more than 1% by now.
2574  Economy / Economics / Re: What is better - cryptocurrency trading or investing? on: July 17, 2021, 03:15:05 PM
I have been a day trader but want to know if it’s a good idea to hold bitcoin for long, whether it will be more profitable?

Trading requires a lot of time online and every day I can only be online for about 2 hours, with limited time making me prefer investing than trading, I will choose coins that have the potential to skyrocket at least 10 times a year and there are some that work.

that's exactly what our problems are when we have limited time online. although you could just set it up to bid/sell orders after analyzing the market. it's just not enough though because the market is just very unpredictable. it's one reason i'm just holding BTC when the market gets unpredictable like where we are at today. I could either go up or down abruptly. just holding is the best option when you only have limited time online or better yet move it to stablecoin.

pacquiao still has the punching power. odd will almost triple your money. i'm probably going to give it a try win or lose. it's still Pacquiao. i hope he isn't badly affected by the critics in politics which he collided with a popular president in the country.

on the other hand, Spence is the undisputed champ. you can't just knock the man without struggling. he is also younger, the fatality he can damage while Pacquiao has aged...result could be..

2576  Economy / Economics / Re: BTC is helping out Cubans and Venezuelans on: July 17, 2021, 08:23:32 AM
Well am glad to hear this, reason why btc is a good substitute for fiat, in the case where fiat fail to meet all requirements of it's citizens btc will be a fine substitute to such country from their dying currency,  this must mean the Cubans must need a huge amount of their dying currency to buy btc otherwise how else will they be able to get hold of btc, Am just wondering  Embarrassed
I am glad that bitcoin became more than just a substitute to fiat because it's not just substitute for this people, it's a ladder for them to survive and prosper despite the inability of their government and fiat to help them survive.

it's amazing that a country can still work things out despite the disorder that's happening. i can't believe the mayor of Miami considers an airstrike on Cuba.
the rallies there are caused by Covid19 still which the government can't really do much but to tell the people to stay home.

this country is actually abundant, the people don't go hungry until covid came. i hope BTC can work out on them.
2577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you gambling to make money or just for fun? on: July 16, 2021, 10:22:44 AM
you are going to be having fun and earn if you win. it doesn't all the time for gamblers who are doing sports betting but still, it's fun watching the sports. once you are having fun it becomes a habit also that you are going to be watching schedules of sports matches.

In the past, if I played one or two games, I usually win but I always did continue to bet until all my gain and money will be lost. When I was affected, I changed and only now gamble just during weekends unlike before that I gambled daily,

For whatever reason that we gamble, it is not totally for fun because if it was for fun then it will be regarded as game. Game and gamble are not the same although they might have a symbol bringing them alike but not the same. That symbol is the channel which could either be any of the sports we play, like to watch or discuss or it is the casinos. Therefore, gambling involves playing with money with the aim of making additional money to the one we had while game is the fun type of it that involves no money. So friend if you have reduced your rate of playing gamble maybe as an addict to the usual player that plays during the weekend with few games and wins, it doesn't mean you have found a better way to play and win, no. You may have the times you will be losing too in times to come if you choose the wrong games to put your money on.

when you gamble it's mostly for money. and so it doesn't feel fun when the hard-earned money is lost.  
2578  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't be too desperate to make earning on: July 16, 2021, 04:56:06 AM
...If the mind is not on positive direction it can result to bad outcomes.
What's a positive mindset when it comes to trading? Mindset that you will profit? Isn't that kinda emotional if that's the case and traders should leave them out right? What we should aim for if we enter trading is a calm mind but that's easier said than done.
I don't think that the positive or negative mindset affects the trade so much that the trade is based on it. "Before", I am a negative thinker before and whenever I trade, I don't really expect to gain profit from that trade. All I know is to execute a trading order and nothing to be expected, If I win from that trade I will surely be happy, and If I lose It doesn't really affect me much. It also helps me become careful on how and when to trade so I think that kind of mindset is suitable for me "before". All of this is when I am new to trading a few years ago.

that's easy to do. it doesn't sound like we need a shaman for a guide. there is nothing else to do for our minds to be in the positive direction. from what i understand is that he meant to be a swing trader rather than become a day trader which is harder to learn and make money.

this i think is about the personality of a trader. if he likes adrenaline rush,  he could become a day trader which he could do some risky investment, do binary options or the risky margin with about 100x leverage in a 1-minute TF.

if he weren't scammed by a defi project he wouldn't be calling this regulation. i have not read anything about Cuban trying to go after the scammer to recover his funds, why?

going after the scammers-criminals i think is a lot easier than regulating crypto. he should know that anyone with a skill can create a token and then list it on a market. the internet is open for everyone just as cryptocurrencies are.
2580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your betting budget on: July 15, 2021, 01:39:51 PM
I kind o like feeling in control of my finances and that means controlling my spending and being very aware of what goes in and what goes out. I normally check my accounts every month and may make a few decisions on what to spend next month if things are not looking correct. One of the things I do is to set aside 10% of my income for things that I really do not need - expensive clothing, gadgets and electronics, books, games,... and part of that is gambling. For me, a reasonable gambling budget is 3 to 5% of my income, although I may allow more if I have some extraordinary income that month. How do you plan your gambling or fun budget?

I live in a backward country, so on the one hand, I have to save a lot, even if I have a certain freedom in money, but in fact I don't do it. I believe that the positive emotions received here and now is undoubtedly a profitable investment than a ghostly profit from money set aside for the future. Naturally I'm talking about family fun, not personal. I spend a small percentage of money from signature campaigns or other unplanned income on personal entertainment.

saving a lot myself as well. the only i would gamble are the ones i earn here in the forum. i rarely bet $50 for a match that i think i will win like the fight of connor and poirer and i lose. if i have to spend my money from the income i get from my job, its usually for my kids and my bills.  there is nothing to spend unless my friends come and spend for me and drink beer which i'm already ashamed they are the ones buying my beer.

i don't budget for my gambling because i don't spend a lot. can't remember i spend $100 but that was the time BTC goes $20k for the first time.
