It was a personal interest, I think. You know, it was a business matter, simply these rich people think that Bitcoin had taken away their profit if that become widely used in the community. They're probably right and it is possible to happen that their businesses will heavily be affected.

Anyway, how'd they know the use of Bitcoin in real life if they don't know about this. Many still become innocent because they don't want to open their minds and their are focusing on their personal benefits.

Yes, Murray absence really show in this series against the Suns. Against Portland, it was not evident as Michael Porter is taking the heavy load on scoring, but against the Phoenix, it was a different Porter Jr that we are seeing. Booker is really tearing him apart, one on one and his long shot are not going in.

Because the stakes are high right now, and Porter needs ore experience to be a true scoring options for the Nuggets team. And Phoenix is also doing good contesting his shots and then it was reported that he has some back problem.

On Clippers vs Utah, I'm with the Clippers game 3. They have seen what's Jazz can do, they will have to readjust and Kawhi will take in the next game.

They are in a must win situation, otherwise they will be on the same predicament as the Nuggets now.

I really dont think this is clippers game i think utah can surprise in this game,i think kawhi cant play all alone in this match. Mitchell can win this game for utah but i would take a spread one utah this time

Clippers are not a bad team, just imagine, they were able to come back against the Dallas by dominating the Mavericks on the road, that means they made some adjustment and I think 2 games is enough for them to make a good one, if the 3 point shooting of the Jazz will not be as accurate as when they are at home (which is expected on the road), then I guess it will be the Clippers who will have a good shooting night.
2803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Nakatani June 26 on: June 12, 2021, 03:31:12 PM

The odds is about at 1.06 - 6.96, in favor of Loma. So seems that the bookies is still favoring Loma here. He has the motivation to win this fight because of his previous loss. Because if he will lose again, don't know what is waiting for him in his boxing career. And if can win on this one, high likely that he may ask for a rematch with Lopez. Let's see, couple of weeks and we will see what performance he will give to his boxing fans.

It's not surprising at all, this fight is just to boost Loma again to come back since Loma could attract the crowd in a big fight. Though his opponent has a good record, he has not fought tough challengers on going to this fight, it should be Loma which is his toughest opponent and he should take this seriously as Loma is will focused to win this fight.

Well said, the promoters of this fight knew that Loma's name still have big impacts to this sports, with him inside the ring fans will bring money to them,

Aside from viewers for sure gambling side are also active, even that low odds for Loma there are big stakers that will choose to bet for
him some might be fans and some are those who believes that he can simply dominates this fight.

Though we knew that upset inside this sports are very likely to happened, but more on the comeback that may bring the crowd.


Loma should have the kind of mentality Manny had, he lost in a devastating way but he was able to come back and even become a champion. Now, he is fighting against Spence and wants to prove that there's still left inside him that could dominate the division.

This is the last chance of Loma, if he will still lose in this fight, then it's safe to conclude that his boxing career is done.

Gaining experience is a must to be a good trader. To experience, you need the willing to learn. This doesn't mean you need to learn for a long. You need to learn the basics of trading as well as the possible ways of predicting the price analysing the charts and market moves. This can be attained through experience.

Start with small capital, and the rest happens good based on the way you do things through market observation.
Honestly, learning the basic knowledge in trading is not good enough to succeed, Yes, it could a start-up but we need to enhance our knowledge and skill to the highest level otherwise, we're not able to reach our goal. Perhaps, becoming a successful trader is totally a quest, we need to overcome the challenges along the way, we need to experience losses and as well as gaining. We can't tell how long to reach our goal but it depends on us how we work on it.

   Bitcoins is the oldest cryptocurrency and one of the highest valued currency's in the world. Has a large price volatility making it too unpredictable to be used as a currency. Doing analysis to trade in a trading cause this digital currency is not consistently in a high value. Sometimes may fail to trade cause their's a sudden down of an a price, but it is a good luck when the price value is high. Being trader we must smart and confidence to trade without any doubt.
Bitcoin is not one of the cryptocurrencies with the highest value in the world mate, l
ook at the price from YFI, then you will know the answer, like this, indeed in the high volatility crypto market it has become part of the market itself,
that's why many traders like the crypto market, because it's easy to get a profit if you manage to do the analysis
OP had already find crypto as the best place to stay for the risk-takers and those we are willing to challenge themselves despite the market volatility. But I tend to disagree with you saying it is easy to get profit in here because even you have good in TA, it was not the assurance that you easily make a good profit in trading. In fact, pro-traders are also suffering losses, there is no excuse in here and we can guarantee nothing in trading.
2806  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin as safe as its believers say? on: June 12, 2021, 12:49:47 PM
Does the U.S. Department of Justice's recovery of the Bitcoin ransom mean that Bitcoin and even blockchain security have fallen off the altar?
the US DOJ does not disclose how they manage to recover the Ransom bitcoin meaning the possibilities of them having either conversation being tracked or they have insider can happen.

Bitcoin is still safe but the way you put this thread proves that you are not a Bitcoin believer and you only posts this to spread FUD.

We are free to express our opinion, any negative thoughts on bitcoin, I will not right away conclude that it's a FUD as I'm a believer that in order for the community to progress, we need to listen to everyone's opinion, whether bad or good about bitcoin and we have to educate them the right thing.
2807  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Gas Fees Drop on: June 12, 2021, 12:21:19 PM
Ethereum gas fees have even decreased to a level between 8 and 10 Gwei. This has been the situation for a long time. I hope that we will continue to see these levels for good. Investors must be really happy now.

It should attract investors, I remember they dump ETH for BNB because its BSC network charges cheap transaction fees, but if ETH fees will drop, then there's no reason for them to choose BNB as ETH is more established and the top 1 in altcoins ranking.
2808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: June 12, 2021, 12:08:19 PM
This could jeopardize the league since japan is so active taking some good players around the globe just to boost up their market and the popularity of their league.

And the league would not allow that, that's why they are so strict because they really don't give a big salary so the star players will just stay.  Living in the Philippines is really good but if a player is seeking bigger pay, they could have to sacrifice all that for bigger dreams.

Yeah thats why they made a decision not to allow Ravena since they now this could possibly start their problem since this could make the fans turn off for seeing him leaving the league. PBA now is kinds boring so if one of their star left they might get less viewer compared seeing him doing some good competitive basketball to other team in the league. Maybe Ravena should try again once his contrsct expires.
If NLEX or other team if incase he will go to other PBA team can't match the monthly salary that Japan can give to him then I'm pretty sure that he will go and play with his brother after his contract. On the other hand though, its kinda good to see that the management didn't allow Ravena to leave because it will create a domino effect and it will have a huge impact in the league itself and in the future.. If they will just allow 1 player after another to play abroad then there is a chance that no one will watch the game anymore or worse we might see a league without any superstars.

PBA is all about business that is why it is boring already.

Others would think that the rules are not strictly implemented and there's a special treatment if other players will try but will not be approved. PBA just want to keep their star players so fans will continue to watch them, otherwise, they'll lose revenue also due to losing their fans, which is a big one, bigger than the contract of Ravena as it would affect the future of the league.
2809  Economy / Speculation / Re: Don't you think Bitcoin will die over the summer? on: June 11, 2021, 11:52:40 PM
It is ridiculous to hear, become dead this summer? we're almost done with the summer and as we can see Bitcoin prices are still above $30k. I think that was enough to prove that you are wrong.

Recently, the price of bitcoin has dropped by almost 1/3.  The beginning of May is 58 thousand, now it is already 38 thousand. The chart is steadily falling down.  Will Bitcoin die in the summer? Cheesy
you talk about the death of Bitcoin? hey wake up and look in the mirror, are you still healthy?
think good mate, look at the news, a lot of bitcoin adoption has taken place, and you think bitcoin is going to die?
it can't happen, big countries alone will not be able to destroy Bitcoin, because its decentralized nature makes Bitcoin always alive
Yeah, I don't know what OP is talking about, or he just dreaming thinking of the dead and he just saw Bitcoin beside him.

Anyway, he absolutely doesn't know about Bitcoin and that is how he responded to the current situation. Some people (and even before) had to think negatively once seeing the market is declining.
2810  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Control your trading emotional outburst and get yourself together! on: June 11, 2021, 10:01:05 PM
I left trading for a while, I just resumed and bought coin at ath instead of buying at dip, last week the market was going smoothly with my thinking that the price of trx will continue to pump I bought and within 24hrs on Sunday it dumped, I've been regretting all through... So what I did now was to leave the coin till whenever it decides to increase in value then I sell. I wasn't affected a lot because it wasn't my last money.

Your are among the type of people that do buy when one  supposed to sell and take profit from your investment. Good to know that you have learned your lesson and now buying at the right time. Now is the buying time whoever want to invest now before is too late again.
People had to change, learning from our mistakes is the best thing that could help us to grow and become more responsible for our future. Taking such an opportunity to buy at a low price, hold, and sell when rallying back, is a strategy that we commonly used, and yet it was efficient.
What makes people not enjoyed trading is because they are controlled by their fear and doubts. They are not comfortable of what they are doing which it leads to wrong decisions that become a reason for our failure.
2811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin been hacked?? Are your BTC safe??? on: June 10, 2021, 11:16:20 PM
...
Can they also confiscate YOUR crypto funds if they wanted to??
...

If they wanted to they can, it's easy as they write a letter to the exchange where our coins are with a gov order to freeze that money, shouldn't be a big deal for them to do it. But if the bitcoins are under our wallet then it would be a lil harder for them because they have to get access someway to our machine to access to the private keys of the coins.

The FBI has some advanced tools and zero days to access any device. So, if they want to get your coins they will be able to do it.
They don't need to do that, it was an abuse of authority if that be going to happen unless if there is a report in regards to illegal activities. but what I can say this is just a FUD, many people had spread the news like this trying to create attention and panic for the community. So if we know that we don't violate any and we secure our keys, we have no problem with that and our funds remain safe.

Does Signature campaign increase ICO credibility? I see few good ICOs recently using Signature campaign to promote their private sale.

Being a newbie, I would like to know your thoughts through experience.
Signature campaign is just like social media campaign because it also attract investors who are using this forum to find a possible potential project. Also, signature campaign help as well to create possibility of getting and attracting good amount of investors.

Actually, it's a way to spread the news about the project, not everyone who wears the signature really understands the project, they just wear, do some post and make some money, that's so simple. I believe the project team understands it, they are using our big forum to run their signature campaign as they know they have a lot of potential investors here.
2813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 10, 2021, 01:38:50 PM
I hope they will make an adjustment in game 3, if they still lose in game 3, they can't make a home-court disadvantage as their excuse. I am so disappointed with the Nuggets, I thought they'll give a hard competition but they were dominated in the last 2 games.

On paper and before their match-up begins, seems like they are a match series and at first, I thought that the Nuggets have the advantage because they are a more experienced team than the Suns but I'm totally wrong. Chris Paul has done a very good job on orchestrating the plays for the Suns and seems to me they will finish the Nuggets in 4-5 games. The Nuggets really missed Murray on this stage, he is the best player next to Jokic and they can't go too far in this playoff without him. That pick and roll between Jokic and Murray is a beauty to watch, damn we miss that in this playoff.

I would make my conclusion that the Nuggets have no chance to win in the series if they lose the next game, that would make the series 3-0 and it will be hard for the Nuggets to come back. I know the 2 losses are in a big margin, we didn't expect that but it happened.

The Lakers are a strong team, Sus beat the defending champ so they really are a strong team without a doubt.
2814  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The next 100x coin after bnb and after eth on: June 09, 2021, 11:06:37 PM
What is the next 100x coin that you would like to bet as little as $10 and gain as much as $1000?
Don’t tell me there isn’t anything that can make you filthy rich, you just need to look deeper.
Do you think DeFi or NFT would be next 100x?
I suggest you stop dreaming, we are done already with the altcoins season and that was no chance that it pumps like that, maybe in the next altcoins season (if you can wait). And please stop thinking about getting rich instantly as it was less possible to happen, unless if you are lucky enough.

But what I'm just hoping for now is that NFT could make a good market rally. I'm not aiming that it turns like a bullish season as it was done already, what I asking is was not like scammy projects that we usually see from ICO, IEO, and Defi projects.  
2815  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin as safe as its believers say? on: June 09, 2021, 10:42:42 PM
The private keys that were taken by the Department of Justice were taken from the guy's hard disk and he was using coinbase, so that goes to show you how naive some poeple can be, if you are doing something illeagal you probably should be more carfull where you put your money and how to secure it, peopel are making such a thing out of this and blaming bitcoin and thinking that blockchain can be hacked and intercepted by goivernmmnet agencies when its literly the guy who owns the key's fault for not securing it.
It is a sort of evidence and the authorities will have to take it and brings it to court. This could be the worse scenario as everything that you have will be confiscated even it was no used for illegal activities. Anyway, we really don't know what is the problem with that person. We never know why the government sued him and get the hard drive.

But this is not the way we think that Bitcoin is not safe, it was just the person who holds has done something not acceptable to the government or he violated the law.
2816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: June 09, 2021, 12:42:49 PM
Well seems legit that politics is part of this fight because this very moment Manny Pacquiao is making news in Philippines in regards to His stand for the political agenda now.
meaning this is part of the plan, for Him to come back fighting and also for His political career move.

Pacquiao should've stayed away from politics, it'll tarnish his reputation as a good person in the eyes of many people.
Politics is a dirty business, and it will never become distant that he'll probably play the dirty business too considering the level of education he had, thus political advisers may take advantage of his weaknesses.
Now, he's making the worse move for running the high office (I'm not quite sure, but I think he will).

Boxing and personal business should've been better for him.

Why would he stay away, he is already a senator and it's just normal for a person who has the money to pursue his ambition, that is his ambition, it's either we support him or not, it's up to us voters. But, I disagree that it will tarnish his reputation as him being a politician is honest, but I would not vote for him as I think he is not capable enough to be a President.
2817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 09, 2021, 12:23:49 PM
Same here, I wanted to see how the Jazz are going to react on Leonard and what kind of defense they have plan to contained Kawhi. Leonard has been playing very well in their series against the Mavs, so I expect him to continue his dominance.  But Jazz has is a good defensive team, and they have Gobert in the middle. So Kawhi might not have that shooting percentage he has against Dallas every shoot will be contested for sure.

I think the Clipper are a bit over valued @2.3+ ML going to into the game, but the Jazz can get flawless sometimes too, I'll be going for the Overs on this one. Gobert would really be pivotal for the in this series, The Clippers struggled with Marjahnovic's height in the last game vs Mavs, Gobert is more dominant are more athletic... He'll be a major headache.

My Bet: Over 220.5

Clippers may have struggle inside, but they are still a very dangerous team, however, I agree with the over as I think it will be the same story with the Mavericks where lots of shooting going to happen especially on the outside, and knowing how accurate the Jazz are, they can score over 120 easily against the Clippers defense.

Harkorede bet won by 0.5 points, the total score was 221 and lucky for me, I also won by 0.5 because I took the +3.5 handicap on the Clippers. I think this series will go in game 6 or seven, it will give us more chance to bet. 
2818  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Gas Fees Drop on: June 08, 2021, 11:34:23 PM
I seem @CZ_Binance CEO of Binance was tweet about High gas fees. After that post Eth gas fee goes down. Now fees very low. $0.5-1.5 for ETH Transfer and $1-$5 for ERC-20 Transfer. It's Seems normal
That's normal.

I saw that it fluctuated to 72 gwei and then after a few minutes dropped to 20's and then now it's back to 14 gwei.

I see gas costs have started to increase again even though they are still below 20 Gwei but this is a very rare momentum to see gas costs are very cheap like this so you should be able to use it well to make transactions between exchanges
It increased a bit for a while but then it had dropped a lot. I don't know the reason behind but usually due to the TPS that the network is getting.
This might happen because the heavy transaction traffic is over, many traders and investors are now using the BSC platform which affects the heavy loads.

But even there is no such huge switch, this will be happening for sure just like what happens to Bitcoin fees. Well, I'm looking forward to how it lowered down when the upgrade has done, we are expecting that changes.
2819  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Holding 5 years a just a imagination on: June 08, 2021, 10:57:47 PM
this is pure clear fact on determining your choice of investment. most projects has disappeared from the top 10. these are all long term project. Not only Nem was declared a long term project. 70% of all the coins in the top 100 CMC are latest investment of 2018 till date. As you invest your funds, make sure to stay updated on trends and market movement to avoid missing out.
And considering holding for 5 years, you will certainly be missing some opportunity. I'm not sure if there someone could do that, yeah, it is a sort of motivation but the question is if that really works and profiting coz I feel not.
Maybe we could say "I hold until the next Bullrun will come" that will be more on reality. May it takes time, years to wait but at least we are sure that we never miss something and we can sell them when Bullrun comes.
2820  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did You Know? - 32 Companies Now Hold Bitcoin on: June 07, 2021, 10:47:10 PM
Although the list could be not an accurate as it is but to see those companies holding a large of bitcoin makes me think again of another what if. What if all of them dump it all at once.

For sure there will be takers and the other companies and whales who would like to purchase those sold bitcoins. But having that said, I think some other companies has to be on that list that are very common and known to hold a lot of bitcoins.
if they will work together and agreed to sell their holding for a lower price, it is totally a worse thing to happen. I can really imagine a huge market drop in prices. So the hopes now that they don't communicate with each other and the keep holds as what they plan.
I have noticed that Tesla holds a huge amount of Bitcoin. I'm not sure if that will be the companies asset or it was Elon Musk? It was a question since Tesla never accepts Bitcoin and it never makes sense to still hold it without getting some benefits.
