I always agreed that the moment halving happens doesn't really  change anything, people started to realize that I think and it makes be super happy but just because halving happens doesn't mean anything. It is a collective thing that changes after days, weeks and months even over a year sometimes. That is why everyone should be patient.

I said before that 2020 is the year of halving so 2021 should be great and people didn't really understood it, I said it because if 2020 is the year halving happens, that will probably help out investors in 2021, not to get in, you should get in right now, but to get out, anyone who buys now even after the huge pump, should be profiting in 2021, it may be too long to wait in a volatile market like this, but I still think it's worth it.

This is probably the best guess I have ever seen on bitcointalk. I mean when we are talking about predictions, I have never seen one that is so close to resembling something realistic. I am not saying this will definitely happen or this is the one, I am not an expert neither so maybe I am totally wrong, maybe this prediction is very bad, how would I know, I am not warren buffet to talk about gains and losses.

However this is just my opinion that by far this is just the best out there, everyone talks about 100k+, even 400k+ and some crazy people talk about 1 million dollars per bitcoin. This right here is realistic while optimist at the same time, shows how quickly we can go up and shows the long term benefits of halving as well with the 68k too so it is great.

Just over 100k is still unbelievable to me, is it possible? Well technically speaking there is nothing that stops bitcoin from being 1 billion dollars each, I know you may find it moronic, I do too, however I am talking about "technically", let's say everyone in the whole world decides to not sell under 1 billion (not gonna happen, just an example) that means bitcoin is a billion.

So, "technically" speaking it can go over 100k, however I do not really believe it will go that high, I see about 15-30k range as realistic, 15k because it is already pretty close and could go up there pretty fast, 30k because that is the maximum I can imagine bitcoin being right now. Everyone is entitled to their opinion obviously, I just wanted to share my own to you guys.

Well, there is a way to make sure they do not cheat at all. You can simply watch the sims itself. They are probably showing it on live, and I think that is what matters, there is really no way they could cheat and get away with it when they are showing it online. If it was offline I would understand, whichever team was wagered the most, they would simply sim until the other team won, however since its live we know who wins on the first try.

On top of that even if they cheat on players attributes and all that, we would see that as well, even if you do not check the stats and all, when you see a player who normally doesn't play very well, start to dunk on gobert, you would know. So, sims looks like trustworthy but still not really all that entertaining if you ask me.

Why would they give the people who are already playing a big incentive over people who are not playing right now but played back in the day. If you are already playing that means you are already playing, there is no reason to keep you here because you are already here, they already have your money and your support.

However someone who has gambled and gambled a lot as well would be very valuable if they left and come back, so they will definitely do marketing to get those people back. I am not saying you are worthless, you worth to them a lot but marketing towards a person who is already playing makes no sense, if you are already here by giving you incentives they are not really doing anything extra, you are here and they spend money on you and you are still here, what did they really gained from it?

There is also some people who join this with some money aside as well, which means even if they are not making a profit, not everyone joins it as something to make money forever, not every single thing they do is for money, mostly it could be something like an investment in general. So at the end of the day those people will continue, just a 100k investment could be big to you and me, but it is not for some people, plus it is still small for some people as well.

So, the middle level will continue, people who are richer than us, poorer than the whale miners will try to survive as well. I am not sure whats going to happen to everyone, I am sure all of them will be hurt, its going down half in the end so there is no way all of them profiting from it.

As long as humanity still thinks that they are "being lied to" and there is a bigger thing going around "behind the curtain" we are not going to be able to change the system at all. Honestly I am not against the fact that there are secrets both from politicians and also news channels, and there are so many "change the subject" situations going on that I understand why people think like that.

However the simple point is, all the things we know right now, literally the proved data based regular stuff, which is your life, simply your life, is basically enough to want to change the world. There are so many poor people all around the world, and there are so few rich people, and we are here trying to find a reason and make a reason for the rich to be rich, instead of wanting to help out the poor.

Nobody says we should all live the same level, nobody says we need communism, but even the worst human should be able to live with a shelter and food and get healthcare, VERY BASIC stuff, just be able to sleep on a bed, eat 3 meals a day, go to doctor if you need it, those three things should be provided by the companies and people who are making billions in profits, not really a huge thing to ask.

Not at all I need my bank account is basically very similar to "would like to but difficult" as well. I have voted for the would like to but its difficult option because I would love to be totally free from banks but I can't since there is really no way to do that right now. I need to pay for some stuff with fiat and that is mainly requiring me to cash out all I earn from bitcoin to fiat eventually. However I do pay my vacations with bitcoin for example, you know why?

Because I can, and that is literally the only thing I need to spend bitcoin, if I can, I will, as long as I have that option that is good enough reason to spend bitcoin to me. However "not at all I need my bank account" is basically the same, if you need your bank account, that kinda means bitcoin is not enough for you.

Exactly for this reason why stablecoins were invented. Just a replacement for fiats. No need to assume the above process of trading as an all new thing. Traders are doing the same for years but with fiats. Now, you got stablecoins to do the same to achieve your goal of 100% profits. The other applications of having stable coins is you can move fiats everywhere on blockchain; yes, stablecoins are nothing but blockchain version of fiats.

This the reason tether corporation is having multiple platform based tether versions. This will cover all type of users to enjoy the same benefits but with their own preferred platform. I also read some governments may ban stablecoins as it may help people in money laundering. But, not sure what is going to happen. So, being cautious will help anyone.

12K is not really all that bad for us, it can drop the price when sold all of a sudden but as you can see we are already back. Plus there are not that many people who have too much money to sell, and barely anyone would sell it all at once just to make a profit, the price would drop a lot and they wouldn't be able to get it all. Instead of that they would probably prefer to sell like 500 to 1k a day for 12 days instead, or simply just do it with 100 coins a day for 120 days, even that is better if you are an investor and want the most out of it.

So, 12k wasn't really some whale, it was market crashing and obviously that sometimes happens, we had a 34k sold all at once before and it does hurt the economy but we recover, so no worries there, it even allows you to buy cheaper.

I agree that gamblers never think about stopping or quitting (permanently) even after they run out of bankroll as they do get loans and other sources to continue their gambling. If you are able to stop your gambling for the reason of your other responsibilities, probably you will never get running out of your bankroll and moreover you will get get addicted to gambling. Yes, if you are able to stop at your wish, then it means you have all the control over your gambling. That must be the right way to gamble.

Gambling cannot be a time-wasting thing to have but it should be an activity to kill our boredom. But, getting bored while gambling must be an appropriate way of gambling which is possible only when you start feeling like gambling is a time wasting entertainment because of after gambling you make nothing but losing your hard-earned money.

To stop gambling, you must have strong will power. If you fail to control yourself then you cannot stop even you have your life's most important responsibilities. It means keeping yourself occupied may not work when you are not strong enough with your will power.

Well, when the period first started I gave a big break, because there was nothing I would like to gamble on so I gave a break, all the casino games that are available were things that I already played a million times and sports was getting really good, from soccer to basketball everything was getting very close to end so the betting would have become very fun as well.

So, the early stages was me not playing at all, later on I started to see stuff just for this lockdown, from sim games to esports to big poker tourneys so forth, that peaked my interest once again and I started to have a bit more fun and restarted gambling, however that ended after a while as well, since last week I haven't gambled a single cent, because everything feels more boring again.

I don't know how it could be done without breaking the fair play rules all that well. Look at what happened to City, I know we are having a pandemic lockdown right now but before all of this they gotten a punishment of not going to European cups because they lied about their financial situation, so they will basically be making less money and eventually if a person finances a club, that is hundreds of millions of dollars, eventually that money will dry up, look at Chelsea for the example.

So, that means Prince will want to invest and make it better within legal laws and while doing that will want Newcastle to get good and make enough money itself without having to keep spending too much money, you can't just make Newcastle a team that will win champions league without spending a lot of money, there needs to be a middle ground where he spends his money for a while and team gets results and eventually he will not have to spend too much anymore since team is making profits itself without needing the Prince.

Yeah, I could highlight credibility as well, what you do not understand is, there are so many altcoins that were basically purely a scam or just a failed project that, even the good ones are looked at suspiciously, plus it is given and correct that they should be because nowadays projects gets millions of dollars investments and when you give someone that much money its always suspicious. You know why back in the day altcoins were better and nowadays it is not?

When litecoin was started people mined it, and got it that way, today you get it for bounty hunting or investing or air drops, so basically mining is becoming obsolete every single day. Decentralization was very important, nowadays those teams that get millions of dollars centralize a lot of things.

Well, I am not going to beat around the bush and say that binance is by far the best one out there for sure. If you as a new token somehow convince binance to list you, that means you have to be something special, you have to have a huge community and you have to have a lot of people trading you as well, Binance is not going to list a coin just because it is good neither, they want trading fees and they will list it only if it is a good project that also could make them money as well.

If you are not really that high just yet, go to coinmarketcap or coingekko and check out the volumes of exchanges, remove the fake ones and whatever is left that has real volume and high on the list, just try to be listed on as high as you can, the more you are listed the better.

Honestly people are so sick and tired of reading about "another awesome coin that will make you rich!!" that eventually we gave up.

Right now to me the only way a new coin could ever make me money is if it gives me an airdrop or I join its bounty hunting and that is about it, there is nothing else, because I gave up long ago to believe in brand new coins. That doesn't mean that I will not be interested in that same coin, just not while it is new, I will wait a long time before I get in because I want to first see how it does, if it actually works and if it actually gets attention from people, I will definitely invest, however I will never do it for a coin that is on project stage, or even its released but brand new, I need to wait at least couple months first.

First I thought it is an attempt for yolo sign up from a new gambler for affiliate benefits.
But after visiting the site, it seems like a user arranged tournaments . I guess it has become possible by custom scripts:

It seems interesting as they are not actually hosting the event but the tournament is going to happen at a familiar venue which eliminates all the risks involved. But how you are going to manage rewarding the winner with 500 doges? I am sorry I am not seeing any fee to be paid for participating in the tournament.

It sounds like an all new type of entertainment for this community. But, crypto gamblers are known for quick results seekers (this is the reason why dicing is a huge hit here). Why not plan to schedule the tournaments for multiple times within a day?

Lambo was always a difficult thing to pick, I don't know what happened with the first winner, I think there was a discussion about it but I really can't remember but if I were both of them I would pick money over Lambo, SPECIALLY this day, time around first one was okay but right now there is just way too many difficulties. Better just get bitcoin and be done with it. Plus if you do not withdraw right away you gonna get a ton of free money as well from the interest.

Of course everything depends a bit on the legality on their nation as well, dude is a whale obviously and he deserved to win, that means he must know economy related laws in his nation very well too. If had won 200k for example it would be almost impossible for me to explain it, since crypto is still not really understood fully here, so I would need someone who understand from crypto in order to file my taxes correctly and would pay up to 65k of that 200k as a tax in order to cash it out.

Alts are actually a known cheating method and as long as admin could modify their system to restrict them, you can't stop all of them at all. However going all in all the time and playing like crazy because you are spending zero money is not really that big of a deal, let them do it as much as they want to, eventually you will have a good hand and you will end up winning.

Also, if they are actually playing that recklessly that means they probably do not have a good hand most of the time, which means even with some semi-decent hand you might get in and take all of their money, you could do the risk and reward ratio of the hand for yourself and if it gets too much you can always stop and not raise or call, but I like those people since I could take all their money with just 8's or something.

Pump is thrown out like it is something super edgy and everyone who says it feels smarter. Pump is not something that is billions of dollars worth, these increases are not "pump and dump" they are increases and decreases. Of course, there are falls after the price of bitcoin increases a lot, you want to know why? Because, there are billions in orders as well, that means when the price reaches above 9k that could mean that price could be $10k or $8k tomorrow. Neither means anything special, it just means there are people who wants to buy bitcoin or there are people who wants to sell bitcoin.

As long as we are talking about these huge numbers, it is not pump and dump. That happens when you pick a very tiny currency and just focus on that for a short period of time and hundreds of people get together to buy it to increase it, this is not even remotely close to whats going on with bitcoin.
