261  Economy / Speculation / Re: Btc Halving Effect + Elon Musk Effect + Institutional Investors' Effect. on: February 17, 2021, 12:08:39 AM
I have been reflecting on the combined outcome or the compounded outcome of the recent happenings in Bitcoin adoption.
Here is my reflective thought.

I have relearned that btc price increase will not only be caused by the four years periodic halving.
The bitcoin price increase is not only caused by the 4 years halving but it was the strategy that always creates new market ATH price. However, it was implemented by Satoshi to control inflation in the Bitcoin market.

1.   The btc halving was a major cause of btc price increase because it reduces the number of btc supply by ½ in every four years.
Bitcoin halving doesn't reduce BTC supply, it only reduces miner's rewards to create a limited market supply. Having said that, Bitcoin's total supply can not be reduced or increase.
262  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammed by Instagram User on: February 16, 2021, 10:35:35 PM
The so called person approached me if i wanted to invest in bitcoins and get some return. I fell for it as bitcoins have been surging massively.
If you want to make an accusation next time you should add some evidence (an example screenshot of the message between you and the exchange ) to prove the accusation is true.
In crypto investment, you are not to trust a bit of strange advice especially when it through social media and if you're going to follow his advice, it shouldn't be without doing proper research.

I did some search about the profile and it leads to this German Facebook user that offers an online class in dropshipping etc.
The site is also list on this Russian site as a scam. As, earlier the address belong to exchange (possible Binance) but you can also report the issue to their support.
263  Other / Meta / Re: Do you click on signatures? on: February 16, 2021, 08:54:50 PM
Do I click on signature? Yes, I do but before clicking on the signature I usually read the site ANN thread see the positive and negative review of people who have once use the site to understand what's in there for me if I am going to visit the site or not. I could remember when Bestchange came into the forum, on a normal day if they didn't host a signature campaign I won't have trust their services abit due to fake a lot of exchange sites out there.
264  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hello 50000$... on: February 16, 2021, 02:55:14 PM
OK, now that we have officially crossed the 50000$ ATH, where are we heading? It seems that the rejection is going to be short, we are over 49,6K again (what a beautiful dip to buy, btw).
Some people prediction is that we are heading $77,000 while some asid $110,000 which I believe those price to be ridiculous and shouldn't be expected this early cause some market corrections will happen to strengthen the market which is the reason why the market experience slightly dump in price after reaching $50,000 price range.
Having said that, the market won't exceed $48K-$55K price range this month.

First of all, you need to understand that asking people opinion like this still requires you don't your personal research cause a lot of shit coin will recommend for you.
Second, you need to setup a stop lost strategy and don't invest in Defi coin that is easily manipulated like INJ. The market is not currently not healthy to invest in cause we are in ATH market and it better you invest when a slightly dump in price happen. However, I can only recommend BTC, DOT, ETH and BNB.
266  Economy / Speculation / Re: When BTC Bull run will end? on: February 15, 2021, 04:14:41 PM
Can anyone guess [educated guess please] when the current bitcoin bull run will end? The last bull run ended around 8th January 2018. It would be interesting to know when the bull run game will over.
No one know when the Bitcoin market bull run will end but if history repeat itself as people expected the bull run market will end in last month of this year Q4.

I fully expect to see Bitcoin exchange rate above $115,000 before the end of 2021. I would be VERY surprised if it did not happen.
Although, the market is full of possibilities but I don't think the Bitcoin exchange rate will be above the price you mentioned. Wait did the legendary crypto enthusiast Danny somehow supported the bitcoin market prediction once said by the founder and CEO of Bitcoin investment firm Pantera Capital (Dan Morehead)?

Never heard of this site before to be honest. Weird thing is that the gambling sites whose names start with lucky usually end up as scams and Luckyfish seems to be a scammy site too based on what some posters above posted.

Coming to the issue itself, chat bans happen for a plethora of reasons(fair and unfair) in all kinds of sites which is why the issue you brought up is pretty common and trivial and easy to resolve op.

This site is 100% scam. they operate with no license and accept minors.They were operating in the Uk and they got caught  now their IP is banned!Its all over the internet that is 100% scam , people should check reviews before throwing their money to scammers.
@ciccia, not having a license of a casino does not directly make casino or gambling a scam but license are required by the gambling site just put their platform in the spotlight and to show to their visitors that they will be fair with their game, provided good security, safety, and even quality of service.
Meanwhile, the site in subject cant be shady like 1xbit which also banned from the UK but still managing to scam people till now.

I think will agree with you on that.

In the early days, we have some casinos that become so popular now already, and they started without a license IMO, but still people trusted them, they risk their money by gambling to their platform, so it's more on the reputation that really matters but since the market has expanded and good competition has been created, license is now necessary in order for the site to compete with others.
You make a good point because the online casino business is bombarded with scam casino abusing gamblers trust just like we have seen during the season when ICO was the most used initial offering but there are trusted casino on this forum that didn't have license though I read some days ago that they are planning to get it.

269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If BTC were to permanently freeze at one price , would you buy ? on: February 13, 2021, 09:44:14 PM
So let's say BTC was to be absolutely frozen from here on at todays price ,would you still buy?

I don't think BTC was intended as the speculation tool it has turned into .
Firstly, no cryptocurrency will forever be frozen at one price (and that includes stablecoins) because we are dealing with a volatile market, which automatically makes Bitcoin to be speculation tool.
To answer your question, if Bitcoin froze at one price, I will still buy it cause it will increase in price after the total 21million is reach.

Who on here regularly makes purchases using BTC ? 
People said for Bitcoin to be seen as currency we have to use it as one in our daily activities which I believe is the truth but if we look into the opportunities that could be miss using Bitcoin regularly for purchase, it will be a naive decision to use Bitcoin to purchase regularly.
Having said that, I don't use Bitcoin regularly to purchase.

Binance CZ is known for being smart and knowledgeable when it comes to innovation within the cryptocurrency sphere but we must not ignore the fact that Ethereum was the project that introduced dApp and smart to the system which makes Ethereum be the Bitcoin of altcoin make while a project like Binance Smart Chain is just like BCH, BSV etc trying to dethrone BTC.
Having said that Binance chain to dethrone Ethereum is just a prediction but I don't see it happen cause Binance is centralized while ETH focuses on decentralized introduced by Satoshi.

Mayweather thought he was better than Muhammad Ali, can you believe that?

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Explains Why He's Better Than Muhammad Ali

That's why he does not get a respect from great boxers and some fans.
Huh Grin
He can't be serious about his proclaim because Muhammad Ali usually went for the tough opponents and came on top which is the reason why he said "I must be the greatest". Besides, he never fought for the sake of the money involved but for the love and the fans of the sport. Why would Mr Money matter the most (Mayweather) said he's better than Muhammad Ali?
Guys help out here.

I can't imagine if Mayweather's picture will be put during the introduction of big events in boxing.

We have Muhammad Ali's picture like this,



What do you think will be Floyd's picture?

I still can't forget this one, guy has no sportsmanship.


Speaking of Muhammad Ali picture putting out during the introduction of the big event in boxing. I believe the reason is that Ali was the greatest boxer in history, changed the boxing game and he's the first boxer to win the world heavyweight on 3 separate occasions but we might also see Mayweather picture also put out as Ali since he's was currently ranked number 1 greatest boxer of current. I guess this what makes him compare himself to Ali and like you said he lacks sportsmanship.

@hulla - I'm referring to Fury and not Wilder, that's why I said I compare Floyd and Fury for being undefeated because they are have the attitude and trains hard. But the comparison ended there because we all know that they have different styles and majority of us don't appreciate Floyd's run and gun tactic.
Definitely, but we can also trust him to win in any fight and as a bettor, we should bet on him to win, that's different when you are a fan and you are not gambling at all as you want a real fight where you see fighters are fully engaging against each other.
Fan sometimes as after their favorite fighter to winning but it all depends in each individual want and understanding about boxing because the fight is not always about toe to toe but the fight result in the end and as Jating said they "have different styles" and you expect Mayweather to change his style which makes lead to his loss to the opponent because the fan wants his to.
272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 12, 2021, 11:43:23 PM
It looks like Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho is not under the danger of getting sacked for now. But I want to indicate that they got quite poor results in the recent times. They actually put up a good fight against Everton in Fa Cup. But in general, they are having big problems in the Premier League. In my opinion, he is not the most appropriate manager for Tottenham and they need a manager who likes to make the team play a more offensive game all through the match.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jose-mourinho-safe-tottenham-despite-23484660
From your own impression, you believe Mourinho couldn't handle Tottenham? The Tottenham problem didn't start now and if could it started long ago when they are unable to win any major trophy since the year 2008 and haven't won the FA cup since 1991 but it shocked that whenever the team is having a problem the whole blame will be on the manager. They ought to let him stay till when his contract is over on Jun 30, 2023.

You're right about the thing that Tottenham haven't got a major trophy for a very long time. But in my opinion, their performance is way worse than before. I don't like Mourinho's playing style. It is not just about him. I don't like managers who prefer making the team play a more defensive game after scoring one or two goals. It is not good for Tottenham too. Still Son and Kane are playing great but the team can play much better than this.
You make a good point about Mourinho style of game but if you remember he does the same thing when he was in Chelsea and the club won a lot of major trophies. If the Tottenham official could give him more time and the players he requested for he will definitely make the best out of the team.
Mind you, we can use the suffering of today to judge the promising future and this is what some people look at in Bitcoin and sold when the market was at $1.

It all good now that the whales are creating a different type of hype in the market using the power of social because there was once a moment where nothing of the mogul and celebrities will publicly make an announcement about cryptocurrency.
Having said that, the reason why Elon is doing the hype successful is because of his new rank in the world and a lot of people will want to earn through his knowledge/statement.
This is the best PR for them, they are supporting bitcoin because there are people out there that doesn't know about their company yet and they know that bitcoin users hate centralized financial institutions so they have to get in on the PR hype train to make them and their company more appealing to the bitcoin users.
If you said to influence the market so they can make more money through their investment I would have agreed but we are talking about Billionaire here which people can easy know about their company.

I wouldn't say rank but Elon was crowned the richest man in the world recently so his name is still a fresh thing for many people.
Rank or crown it the same thing but if you check the forbes list of the world richest man alive you'll that they usually use the world rank not crown cause the slot he's holding now can be defeat by another mogul.
Its not 100% proven that wealthy people are advertising their Bitcoin position to advertise
their companies. You can be sure there are a lot of wealthy people who are moving
into Bitcoin but keeping it out of the public arena.
Completely. I don't see any reason why wealthy people will publicized their crypto currency investment just to advertise their companies which is not crypto related and you are right about some wealthy people which secretly invested in Bitcoin and don't want to make it public cause it may affect their primary company/investment.
274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: February 12, 2021, 09:44:48 PM
Liverpool won’t win the title now. They are 10 points behind City & City have one game less. There is no shame for them, they have so many injuries, City are just better this season. Liverpool need to worry more about guaranteeing a top 4 finish. They can not lose to Leicester.
It's early to count and write out Liverpool from becoming the 2020/2021 English premier champion,  in 2018/2019 season when Manchester city became champions, Liverpool had a good lead at the top, but let it close up, I think Liverpool would put this shadow matches behind them, and go for wins, and the important games are the ones they play.
You make a good point cause the game can be full of surprises sometimes but the outcome of the Liverpool match against Leicester will give us an idea if Liverpool does put the shadow matches behind them because they usually defeated Leicester in the Premier League. However, I expect Man City to lost to Hotspur.
Man City losing to spur? with the present form of Pep Guordiola side I doubt it, Liverpool just switched off lately and it will be extremely difficult to catch up with Man City who had been gradually increasing their gaps with more points on EPL table now 5 points difference above  Man Utd with an outstanding match, Liverpool vs Leciester wouldn't be an easy match I will settle for a draw.
I am aware of the form of Manchester City and how they won their last 5 games while Tottenham loses 3 out of their 5 last games but I am talking about history possibly repeating itself though last year when they both met in theee premier league at Etihad Stadium it was a draw and footing the history in the last 3 years Tottenham usually beat Man City.
Having said that, Liverpool will beat Leciester 2:1 tomorrow.
275  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Selling to lock in profit question... on: February 12, 2021, 09:02:47 PM
Please excuse me if this has been asked as I have searched for a while but haven't found any answers.  Here is my scenario. Say I buy 1000 crypto coin 'X'  in its infancy for 10 cents each.   The value increases 100% so now each coin is worth 20 cents.   My question is, do I lose any advantage by selling at this new high And when the coin retraces back down to 15 cents,  reinvest the entire amount?
You definitely dont lose any advantage since you are able to hold till it increase 100x but if I were you I will reinvest 50% of the entire amount while keep the remain 50% as capital to be in case another opportunity to buy cheap or invest in another good oroject occur.

 
Like, am I at a more disadvantaged position because I am now purchasing the coin at 15 cents, when I had once purchased it at 10 cents?  Would I be in a better position if I were to just hodl the coin I purchased cheaply instead of taking profit and reinvesting at the higher price than my original purchase price?
Im not referring to selling and buying the coins back at a higher price,  just a higher price than what I originally paid when I first bought,  which was 10 cents.
You actually make a good a decision since you sold it at 20cent and buy back at 15cent, so there no reason for you to feel bad since you don't sell at lost price.
This is how crypto investment works mate.
Welcome to crypto world.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5309797.160


I am still skeptical if a fight between those two happen until the contracts are officially signed. Joshua has avoided dangerous fighters so far as beste as he could.
You must give Wilder credit that he fought fury. If the fight Joshua vs. Fury really happens i think that joshua only has a chance to win if he knocks fury out, because fury is so good at avoiding punches and dancing around that he will probably land more punches overall.

They have verbally agreed to fight, so even though the contract is not yet sign, but there are reports that in just a matter of days it will be officially announce.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/14005817/anthony-joshua-tyson-fury-contract-eddie-hearn/

I don't understand you saying that Joshua has avoided dangerous fighters in the past. He has fought a decent fighters including Wladimir Klitschko. Besides the Heavyweight division is not that deep.
I guess some fans which believe they are a follower of Fury don't do some background check on Joshua previous fight, I never for once sees him run from a fight and speaking of the Wladimir Klitschko, Wladimir predicted the fight in a USB flash if anyone watches the face-off and talking between them then.


Tyson Fury is such a unique fighter.  Every time he goes into a fight I think he's going to lose badly, but he always wins.  I saw a sports science episode on him I'll never forget.  The guy's ability to react and dodge fights is super human.  Literally, his response time is far greater than most human beings to the point it has allowed him to become an elite fighter in spite of some major flaws.  Given his appearance, I think his gifts catch opponents off guard and allow him to take advantage of their underestimation of him.  I don't think his style is a secret, so you know fighters are training for it, but seeing it in person is another story they can't really train for which is why I think it catches them off guard even when they are expecting it.

Considering his flawless record, his opponent should come out with something that would work to beat him up, or else Fury will demolish him like any other boxers he fought. I also thought that this man was close to retirement but when I say his age, he is not that old. He has some unique skills that his opponent doesn't have and also hard to punch as well. If they gonna fought in the middle east then this fight is pretty big and he should get also consider getting all of the unification heavyweight title after he wins this fight.

It's because that Fury is also good in the mental game, destroying his opponents even before the fight start with his trash talking, or more of like a psyche war. So fights can be won without throwing punch. Plus he has a winning attitude as well, he has the talent yes, but he brings it to the next level by training hard every fight regardless of who he is facing.

Unlike Wilder who simply doesn't want to train, according to his coach. And that's why we have fighters like Floyd and Wilder who is still undefeated because talent + attitude equals greatness.

I don't like the comparison though, honestly, I believe that Fury is even better, he does not run inside the ring unlike Mayweather.
Fury is willing to take bigger risk by engaging in the ring, even the most powerful puncher like Wilder, so I have respect to him than Mayweather.
@Jating, that's why we have fighters like Floyd and Wilder who is still undefeated because talent + attitude equals greatness.?
For the record, Wilder was defeated in his last fight against Fury.
@Yamifoud, Like you, said about the comparison. Fury has the height and body which cant be compared with Mayweather's physical appearance. However, each fighter has their own way of studying the opponent's move and fight.



Mayweather thought he was better than Muhammad Ali, can you believe that?

Inaddtion to what others have said, the portable version is flexible and easy to use on third party computers but if security is your top priority it better you use the non-portable version of the wallet because the portable is compared with a web wallet which is vulnerable to viruses and keylogger attack and footing your message the BTC will use for long term shortage.
The portable version is not like a web wallet, it is a desktop wallet also. The only difference is that people can have it on a flash drive, this can result to it being installed on third party computers.
I aware of this and the mobility sector of the portable version of the wallet was the reason why I contemplate it to be like a web wallet.

Is it ok do use portable version?
Inaddtion to what others have said, the portable version is flexible and easy to use on third party computers but if security is your top priority it better you use the non-portable version of the wallet because the portable is compared with a web wallet which is vulnerable to viruses and keylogger attack and footing your message the BTC will use for long term shortage.

The vulnerabilities of the portable and non-portable versions are the same. If the computer is compromised, either of them is vulnerable unless they connect to the hardware wallet.  In the latter case the transactions safety is in your hands. IMO, if you check every details of transactions to be signed by HW they’re not in any danger.
Yes, but nonportable is still not prone to attack if you personal air gap computer while portable is prone to attack when used on third parties/public computer which the reason why the issue keylogger is mentioned.
