2901  Economy / Economics / Re: The End of "USD" as the World's Reserve Currency on: May 16, 2020, 04:46:00 PM
See I do think that the countries which are able to go through this pandemic soon enough will be able to make a greater impact on their economic situation , the country who recovers first will be able to provide greater care for the world , plus people will have a huge advantage over the US , since due to faulty administration plus corrupt politicians they are right now in a disaster which is not going to go away that soon .
They are trying to take help from the countries which they originally hated , this is pretty sarcastic.
I do believe that the dollar will loose its value , I do think it have already lost a significant number of investors and therefore it is undeniably a bad situation for them .
2902  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to be invested in Crypto while staying away from gambling? on: May 16, 2020, 03:40:14 PM
See cryptocurrencies are not just about Gambling , it does make a very good token for the sites therefore there are many companies related to gambling interested in exploring the cryptocurrencies. The games are very enjoyable and easy to play and you cannot just play only once honestly. I was in a campaign which required me to make only 15 spins , I ended up making 40 of them and loosing a good amount 😂✨. See Gambling can easily become an addiction , but you need to learn to control your senses , the sites are very specifically designed for the users , they used all the biological experiments to make sure you gamble without any bounds . You can medicate and keep track of what you are loosing and what you are earning.
2903  Economy / Economics / Re: Economy after COVID-19 on: May 16, 2020, 03:28:07 PM
See days before the online payment was an option . People can decide what they want to do or to not do , but now , it is both a Matter of safety , plus at the same time the shops are giving you discounts on the online paid orders .
The banks are closed and ATM's most of the times are out of the cash and during quarantine it is really hard to go outside. Therefore people who did not know anything about the Bitcoins are now engaging in the community , therefore for the future I do see the economy going cashless .
People who are able to get used to it will be able to earn during this time , unfortunately the society is changing weather we like it or not.
2904  Economy / Speculation / Re: Personally i think bitcoin is future on: May 16, 2020, 12:18:37 PM
Well I do think it so not just Bitcoins but cryptocurrencies as a whole and in that Bitcoins is the most trusted one at that . Since the government will take time to recover from this financial blow , sooner or later people will be interested in more options . Stock market takes time but cryptocurrencies provide you with a good source of trading , earning extra money and with mining you can make extra bucks if you are living in a country with less electricity expenses.
Cryptocurrencies is an amazing opportunity for people to connect with each other and sell their services all around the world.
It is not just the future , it is very helpful even for the government for the disastrous times , like Corona virus right now , I have seen people earning through cryptocurrencies and not the governmental jobs .
2905  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hashrate is dropping on: May 15, 2020, 08:01:50 PM
See 15-30% drop in the hash rate was already predicted and therefore I did make the post on it before the Halving. 
Halving decreases the reward for the miners and therefore if you are a small miner, it will be difficult for you to pay your bills and all , therefore I do think we need to wait for everything to come down at a neutral rate .
Soon enough the big miners will be able to overtake the work and it will go back to normal and therefore let's wait for a while to make a conclusion about he hashrate decreasing.
2906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is like day trading ? on: May 15, 2020, 06:39:51 PM
Gambling is based on luck and if you have an exceptional mind then yes you can make a program and go about it . I do not think it is even close to day trading since in that you are in the full control plus you can speculate about the market looking at the news and all . But in gambling , you go and you pray you win .
You're in for emotions and entertainment while gambling. You're in for cash while day-trading. That's the point.
Well, I doubt that most gamblers are just for the entertainment.

It's also attached that most gamblers are in for the profit.

Most of them think that whenever they go to the gambling den or any other places that have the same setting as gambling. They always think that someday their gonna win big time. then the result is you can see them keep coming and coming to that same place with a perspective to win next time. but after next time, nothing has happened and the only thing they get is losing. the entertainment at first became a hobbit and that's when they pay the price. because after that there are only 3 days of winning and 27 days of losing every day if they cannot stop themselves. 
Majority of the average gamblers' mind works as you mentioned, they hope and they don't want to give up about the big win bets. The one big shot should cover all losses according to the loser's gambling mind but in reality, things turn differently. Slightly decreasing life conditions and spending life savings on the casinos ruin their life and drain life motivation. In trading, the risks can be controlled and the addiction level is not high as compared to gambling.

I do think it depends on how much you gamble. Honestly speaking never make anything your necessity , make it your luxury . If you can afford to loose some bucks always take the negative outcome in your mind .
In the case of gambling those who are part of their own team are more likely to win No one can easily make a profit by gambling like this That's why I trade from gambling. It is possible to make more profit by trading. Even if there is a loss, the amount of loss can be reduced but in the case of gambling it is never possible You are right that there are many families who have become destitute by gambling. That's why I think it's better to trade short-term every day than our gambling.

If you trade on the margin exchange, then as in gambling you can lose all your money!
By the way, just like in gambling you may become addicted to trading!

Becoming addicted to trading is a rough start because I do think trading is also a very risky sport . One can very easily sleep out and miss the time when they were supposed to change their money into crypo or vise versa.
It is really hard to give something your attention 24*7 .
2907  Economy / Economics / Re: The Coronavirus as A Means of Financial Reset on: May 15, 2020, 06:32:59 PM
I do get what you are trying to say but at the same time it is not a financial reset but actually an economic disaster. The Corona virus in just one country is making more than 25 million people jobless , plus you need to add the amount of people who were already jobless . The poor are suffering the middle class is mentally and financially struggling to get their ends meet . The rich are using up their resources.
That said, the question remains, why have the Western media and the small circle of involved mainstream scientists (e.g. Daszak, Fauci, etc.) been covering for China and vigorously dismissing any theory that the virus came from a lab?  (For example, ZeroHedge got its Twitter account suspended just for being the first to report some Indian scientists' findings of possible genomic manipulation in the virus' creation.)

It dont matter where it come from. Now is here. And we have to take care of it. If some terrorist will launch a nuclear bomb in your city it will be the same. You will have to die or live with it. It will no matter to you who did it. A lot of people live on Earth so a lot things can happen to us all. We should not take any day we live in happiness as granted.
Granted - never
Happiness - always , never let the kid in you die. If you are not happy you are not living at all.
Of course, all data about the virus is strictly classified. Blaming China for the development of this virus is dangerous. Surprisingly, in China, the peak incidence has long passed. This means that China was ready for such a situation. We will follow the news, perhaps after preventing the epidemiological situation, countries will begin investigations where we learn something new.

It is not just blaming China , unfortunately there are sources suggesting now it grew from there and they did nothing.
They also sushed their own doctor who was trying to tell people about the virus.
They have now United with Russia and asking the US for answers , about why they are blaming them ! See they are making this issue political and soon enough a war might emerge if they keep moving forward like this . Just keep it down till the virus goes away after that you can go all out after each other.
2908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is stopping people from running their own full node? on: May 15, 2020, 03:50:14 PM
The thing is one is most of the times using mobile apps and all people with technical background are very less , I do think that the limited space , the electricity bills plus possible extra payment for internet and other charges is actually problematic.. therefore I do think full node is not something everyone can run . If you have good internet connection and all you can easily do it , if you can afford to pay extra electricity bills and all .
Also many people do not know about the full node maybe everyone should help others with it.
2909  Economy / Speculation / Re: All Time High:: 2020 or 2021 ? on: May 15, 2020, 01:33:43 PM
Unfortunately due to the pandemic we have to expect some problems , people are struggling with financial issues but the good thing is Bitcoins is not going down even because of that . That is because there are people who are looking for alternatives and Bitcoins is an amazing thing , it is proving to be very efficient therefore the negatives are being balanced by the positives . But what we can say right now is that after a while in 2021 situation will be better and therefore we can expect the price to increase tremendously.
Therefore my dibs are on 2021
2910  Economy / Economics / The unfortunate event that is Quarantine. on: May 15, 2020, 09:42:08 AM
Apparently due to Quarantine , people are getting jobless ,but then again pause for a minute.
Some well established institutions are able to provide the financial support and they are shifting the jobs online . One should understand that, this is something that only some well off members of the society are enjoying. Unfortunately the people with small jobs are now deemed insignificant and they are sitting at home and hoping for it to end soon ..
This is making the economic gap between the two sections only wider .
Quarantine was not done properly , it is not the solution. People will soon starve and won't be able to pay of bills . With the loans from colleges and schools , kids will be deprived of a good future.
Soon enough if the Quarantine does not end , Corona virus won't kill us , but the economic situation will . Therefore I urge all of you to stay home and practice good hygiene. So that we are able to control the breaking economic crisis which is bigger than the Corona virus.
What are your thoughts ? Please feel free to share.
2911  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 65% of Global Bitcoin Hashrate Concentrated in China on: May 15, 2020, 08:16:35 AM
Hash Rate is really really important when we talk about Bitcoins. We all know that Bitcoins is super secure ignoring the personal errors one can make .
Hash rate does determine how secure Bitcoins is , if it is banned there it will go down by 65% , but it is during the time of Halving and therefore it will go down by 65+15% , since many small miners are getting out .
80% !! Decrease would mean the market will die , but it would take a while for the hash rate to recover . But then again it will eventually all be fine , let's hope this does not happen.
2912  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lockdown and eCommerce and increase in online payments = Bitcoin addoption on: May 15, 2020, 07:28:59 AM
I was recently buying a collar for my rescue dog , got to know that the site is accepting Bitcoins PLUS , no extra charges !
This is a really big deal where I live , actually we aren't able to have so many chances of paying in Bitcoins and therefore this exception was actually amazing step in getting the Bitcoins adopted on a much larger scale.
The thing is , now people are looking for more options since the quarantine have literally closed everything and even a trip to the bank is dangerous living in areas where the Corona virus is in every street .
In certain situations , scientists have even recovered the virus from the air particles . At a time like this I do think Bitcoins can help a lot in the transfers one way or the other .
2913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Counting Cards -- a Dirty Cheat or a Legit Skill? on: May 15, 2020, 06:18:16 AM
Ofcourse it is a skill , one should understand that it is not easy to actually do all the calculations in your head , plus it's not like you will read a book and master it in one day , it takes brain capacity and experience.
One needs to understand that it is a game made by humans , why would they actually go around and label something cheating when people can find faults in it . It is just like a computer program , you think it's smooth until and unless someone proof checks it .
Well I do think no random person would be able to do that ,I myself haven't heard of someone near me doing it . It is very rare.
2914  Economy / Economics / Re: Epidemic to Pandemic to Diaster-Cycle on: May 15, 2020, 05:29:15 AM
Well honestly speaking the Corona Virus pandemic is more of so a man made disaster , not a natural one at that matter , therefore am not sure if we would be able to classify it as a disaster yet , plus further into the disaster one needs to categorize it as natural /man made , which is still into investigation.
One can even call it a natural selection where the people with some genetic diseases and weaker immunity will be wiped out ( Am one of them so hiding inside ) , just stay safe and practice a good hygiene , eventually with the vaccination it will be all good in 1-2 years .
2915  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So it looks like Cobra is planning on passing on the Bitcoin.org domain on: May 14, 2020, 12:54:58 PM
It should be someone who actually cares for the Bitcoins ecosystem, not someone who is trying to control it just like everyone else ..this is going to be a very hard task and I do hope in the future we can have someone who is unbiased and does not hope to be like North Korean leader.
Bitcoin.org is a place where it all started , it is a place where the newbies come and learn more about Bitcoins , it's where the companies are actually getting involved. I still remember the time when there were so many users that the site started hanging for a while.
I do think in the future one should actually get some kind of voting system , like choose bunch of people who are interested in buying it and we can vote for it .
Plus the significant people should also get a veto power plus explain their disregard to everyone so that the decision is made efficiently . 
2916  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which investment is a safe haven Gold or Bitcoin? on: May 12, 2020, 09:21:54 AM
! !BUY Property! !
Buy a piece of Land when the price is down and trust me property sector is going to keep on increasing forever because of the people who are never Willing to decrease the population curve .
Humans have the innate requirement to leave their offsprings and therefore I do think nothing is going to back it off . Even if people have 1 kid , there are countries which are far beyond Saving. See when we study biology we study the exponential growth curve of bacteria where after Lag phase and log phase the bacterias and other microorganisms starts making the environment more toxic for each other and which in turns kills them eventually .
Population boost is something that we should be scared of , but at the same time everything aside , it's an excellent earning source of you are able to make a stable investment .
2917  Economy / Economics / Re: Some Strategies to Face the Next Crisis on: May 12, 2020, 06:15:40 AM
This is what the people should do , but at the same time one should understand that the government too plays a huge role in situations like this. I was going through Instagram and stumbled across a video which showed how Taiwan have Zero new cases and most of them have recovered.
The government is giving away masks to people , they are making sure that everyone stays at home and is calling them everyday .
Zero New cases of Corona Virus is something that is very very difficult to achieve. In countries like USA and all the government does not care , they are lying about the money used to make medical supplies , they are lying about the stats and the measures are very unreasonable . If the government cares for the people the people would be able to make though it , because you cannot expect each and everyone to follow through.
In India people are getting beaten up by the government if they roam around , one should understand that this is completely unreasonable and negative reinforcement is only paving a way for the future troubles.
This is why one needs to choose a government efficiently , I would like to add Choose a government efficiently for the future .
People can do what they can do but at the same time 50% of it is on the government itself .
2918  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase down again during crash, is the exchange doing this on purpose? on: May 11, 2020, 10:11:40 PM
Coin base has 5.6 million users , in January 2018 it had 11.1 million users .
Now the site is incapable of handling high amount of users at once. One needs to understand that at times like this where one can expect high amount of traffic the website needs to be upgraded to support it . Plus everyone knew halving is a historic event and therefore it should have been done before.
The downtime on the websites does cost them themselves therefore making it even worse for most websites , so if coin base would do this on purpose the chances are they are loosing a good amount of money too.
But if they were paid correctly by some big whale to do that then the chances are they did not upgrade their website and what they were paid was Preety big amount.
See it is a decentralized network but still it does not stop people from playing dirty.
But at the same time I do doubt that coinbase would actually repeat their mistakes again and again . After 2018 they should have already upgraded the site plus prevented the clustering of users so that they can all use the website efficiently.
I think my take on it would be :
They are doing it on purpose.
But then again what they are doing is not against any rules. Therefore there cannot be any action taken against them , even if people go to the court they would be advised to just leave and use another exchange.
2919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vaccine against Covid-19 should be made before sports events will take place? on: May 11, 2020, 08:39:48 PM
Unfortunately one cannot do either 1 or 2 entirely.
I do think limited sport Events would be allowed eventually so that one is able to give a push to the economy. But unfortunately Corona virus can spread even if the person is standing in the same room as you and the ventilation is not proper plus you have been there since 10+ minutes.
Maybe people should be allowed to play wearing the PPE , personal protective equipments , but the only games they would be able to play in the arena would be the ones requiring mind rather than physical attributes.
Therefore I do think even if the government allows the ones who are actually in the line with gambling won't happen that soon . We have to wait for a year the least for the vaccination to come and 1 year again for the vaccination to work , therefore I do not think this can be expected that soon.
2920  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible that number of miners will decrease for a while? on: May 11, 2020, 08:33:05 PM
See what is important is not the number of miners but the efficiency of mining . The small miners do account for a 15-30% of the hash rate and therefore when the halving happens , they will for sure decrease for a while and therefore for a little while we will see 15-30% decrease in the hash rate making the network more vulnerable for a while.
The small miners won't be able to pay the huge electricity bills for the machine since the block reward would be literally cut in half .
Plus Miners won't actually influence the price , so people who are writing how it will decrease the price I do not think it is true , the price will be same and the only problem we will face is in the hash rate which will quickly go up since the the huge miners would be able to back it up pretty quickly . It's like more job opportunities for them .
