2961  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Caleb Plant vs Caleb Truax IBF Super Middleweight Title on: January 11, 2021, 01:33:31 AM
This is a battle between young with a perfect record and an experience boxer that has an advantage with regards to overall fights and age as their age difference is 9 years. This fight will test Plant career for sure as he is holding a title while Truax didn't have any.
They have a really close average rounds of 6.5 for Truax and 5.5 for Plant, this can mean that we can see a deciding match between this rounds or at the least the fight will end at this stages but who knows, they even have a close KO percentage which means this match is almost an equal. I would go for the Caleb Plant on this one though.
2962  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESPORTS - predictions and tips (Dota 2, CS:GO, LoL) on: January 11, 2021, 12:56:28 AM
This isnt a prediction just news that one of the best AWP players Smooya is joining Movistar riders -Larsen. I dont think this team is massively recognised, respected or with alot of supporters so maybe we have some upset potential here and good odds to bet. I'm going to try and remember to take a look and an interest in the games hopefully, I dont see any listed just this moment.

If he is one of the best why not placed in a team roster already is a good question, bad temperament apparently. Some of the best players have ended up lone wolves, s1mple being the most famous banned for 2 years. The pro teams themselves know and will be trying to counter him no doubt I wouldn't argue otherwise so this is just about the odds and maybe an underdog bet or even live odds betting.
If it is behavior that is the problem I think the team will definitely suffer. I do not know much about Smooya and this team that he is joining but I think that having other teams that are a little on the underdog side is a good betting scenario.
2963  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever proven fairness of games? on: January 11, 2021, 12:23:44 AM
I believe most gamblers here don't. I sometimes rely on gambling sites reputation which is less likely to be unfair for their gamblers. I even don't know how to verify hashes provided by each bet since this requires a lot of technical works which I am not familiar with. I usually play on platforms that are reputable such as Roobet, Duelbits, Primedice, Fortunejack, and a lot more.
Gambling reputation sometimes equates to the fairness of the gambling site. There is really nothing to help prove the fairness of online gambling, just believe in their system and you are good to go besides someone will know when the going gets fishy. This anxiety of knowing that the game is fair is only a unnecessary burden for the players that they shouldn't worry in the first place.
2964  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When to take profit from your current bitcoin holding. on: January 10, 2021, 05:50:00 AM
The time that you will take profit from your current bitcoin holding is the time that you feel like converting it to your fiat counterpart. I think that is the only thing that helps. If the current prices is higher than your initial investment then it is already a profit.
2965  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why You Should Not Buy Bitcoin with PayPal on: January 09, 2021, 08:56:00 AM
The best part about the Paypal adopting Bitcoin is not the service that it provides, but the fact that it almost acts as a "gateway drug" for a lack of a better phrase. Its the gateway for non crypto personal to adopt a new, and exciting concept, all because a reputable, and large company such as Paypal has implemented it into their system, which by extension improves peoples perception of Bitcoin, and its related technologies. The Paypal adoption is a very good way of intriguing people enough about Bitcoin, that ultimately they'll look more into it, and quickly come to realize the flaws of the Paypal system.

I do think this has been discussed though, there's been plenty of users here talking about how poor the implementation of Bitcoin into Paypal is for the end user, and how much it benefits Paypal, but that is usually the case in a capitalism world.
They are still tied to some laws that could implicate their company into bankruptcy, I understand the way Paypal did what they did but I agree that the execution was a clunky and failure one. They want to prevent any possibility of money laundering. As the quote above said, Paypal created an unintended benefit for crypto community although gateway drug seems to be on the harsh side of things.  Grin Grin
2966  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Become a member of a bitcoin exchange by investing 1btc on: January 09, 2021, 08:10:55 AM
How lucky the price of your exchange just happened to meet the trading price of bitcoin so nicely.   A 2021 miracle!  lol
The sarcasm undertone with the quote above is so strong that it is enough to identify this thread as a scam attempt. The miracle here is that someone still has the audacity to create an obvious scam attempt. Now that Vod is on OP's case, this will be a hard time to prove that you are not a scammer.

To OP, try to clear your name and the exchange, why should we trust the exchange that you are going to create, why not post the website because I do not think that will be a spam, why is the minimum asking price for investment is 1 bitcoin, what is the difference of using your exchange from the other existing ones. Prove me and the other that we are wrong.
2967  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not be too happy on: January 09, 2021, 07:31:49 AM
I did thought that everyone would appreciate if these big firms entered crypto just as they have done now? I used to read topics in these boards in the past and one of people's wish was to see Bitcoin get massively adopted by individuals, banks, big firms and government coz that would help the price grow. The price has grown now due to their involvement but they can chose to sell or manipulate the market and they own majority share of Bitcoin coins.
They can manipulate the market, they have the bigger amount now which really is scary if you think about it. The only solution is to hodl to your bitcoin even if the price is still increasing because they might be planning on monopolizing the prices by selling them when there is nothing available at the exchanges. Their dumps will send waves that everyone will definitely feel.
2968  Other / Meta / Re: How about new sub section 'Investment discussion' on: January 09, 2021, 06:56:39 AM
I think it'll look like something that encourages ponzis to be created or shared and dupe newbies that are unsuspecting (eg: btc 2xed in a few months, perhaps there was a hack on the network or something...)

Most of the stuff related to service investments is posted in service discussion which is probably appropriate and enough for now.
Yes it will encourage, I think that creating it will only make their breeding grounds harder to find because they can be doing the schemes at that proposed discussion board or the other. I think that Service Discussion is enough, the only time that we should consider having that discussion board is when all the scams are eradicated which will never happen.
2969  Other / Meta / Re: [LOG] The ranked up members - Congratulations! on: January 09, 2021, 06:23:15 AM
This is a really awesome thread, I do not frequent at Meta board but this is the first time that I have seen this thread. I am really happy that there are members ranking up, hopefully we can see some newbie turn into junior members and juniors turn into members and so on. I never really cared about my rank but damn this in a way twitch me to up my posting game. Congratulations to those who ranked up, and an advance salutations to those that will get it in the future.
2970  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto doesn't want to be found; stop searching. on: January 09, 2021, 05:37:22 AM
New people starting to own Bitcoin or just researching about the history of Bitcoin may become curious about Satoshi Nakamoto, I experienced it before, I read multiple articles about Satoshi Nakamoto that talks about some suspected person that might be the Satoshi Nakamoto.

But for now, it's not important who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Let's just be thankful for what he/she invented, which will help to fix our financial system. Satoshi Nakamoto intended don't want to be found at the beginning.
I do not have problem with the new people getting introduced to bitcoin and becoming curious about satoshi but what irks me is that there will be that someone that will be obsessed with searching for who satoshi really is. satoshi does not want to be found and if satoshi wanted to, satoshi should have done it a long time ago, that should have been a tacit agreement that satoshi does not want his/her identity be disclosed, please respect that.
2971  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I sold out my satoshi on: January 09, 2021, 05:02:44 AM
If you had a personal problem, then withdrawing was probably justified. If it gave you financial relief when you really needed it, then you made a good choice. You shouldn't let how this played out to change the way you think in the future. If you need the financial aid, that Bitcoin would give if you withdrew it then you should.
Have to agree about this one to a certain degree, the withdrawal of bitcoin could have been avoided by putting an emergency fund, I am not talking about making a big one, just a trickle from your income is enough to gradually save for something unexpected, that was the most given advice that I have learned from other people, have a safety net that could help you in emergency cases like these one. Selling your satoshi is regrettable but you do not have to wallow about it, we never expected this prices and at that time the urgency is stronger so there is no one to blame.
2972  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How One Can obtain bitcoins? on: January 09, 2021, 04:27:34 AM
It's like asking what's the fastest way of earning money. Obviously there's no sort of "best answer" to this question as it's going to be totally different for each person.
There is no fast way to earn anything, you have to grind and work hard for it. As the quote above says, it is a matter of perspective.

One can obtain bitcoin in many different ways, by mining, accepting bitcoin as payment, trading, buy and sell and many more.
Don't forget that some signature campaigns are also a way of obtaining bitcoin.
2973  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Made a minor rookie error regarding wallets, hoping to stop people doing same on: January 09, 2021, 03:49:33 AM
Not any. Some wallets has a different derivation path and you might have some trouble trying to change it to generate the correct addresses. Depends on what you're doing, generating a new wallet and getting a new seed can be a good idea at times, if you feel insecure reusing the seeds.

It's okay to switch wallets and get a new seed. Sending them when the fees are low would be better though.
I feel more comfortable switching addresses than using the same one to be honest. Plus the added layer of anonymity of having two layers of addresses to prevent dox, the fees are although unavoidable, it is not that crippling to pay.
2974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Canadian bank not accepting money ( cash ) transfers form bitcoin exchanges ? on: January 09, 2021, 03:15:41 AM
For us farther down here somewhere in the Orient, it is not much of a problem.

Anyway, why don't you try to use P2P exchanges? Those ones which do not require KYC. Localcryptos, for example, has several Bitcoin buyers from Canada. You could sell your Bitcoin to anyone of them depending on your preferred mode of payment. You could choose to have your payment sent via PayPal, e-Transfer, cash in the mail, cash meet-up, and so on.
Cheers from someone from the Orient, mine never had any problems too.

I was going to say the same thing, P2P is the safest because you are trading with people that have the same interest. There are some here in my country that created a Facebook groups that sells their bitcoin without using a middle man, there was one guy that was selling 2 bitcoin back in 2019 although the asking price is a little lower than what you would sell it in the market.
2975  Economy / Speculation / Re: When The Inevitable Happens With The Dump - What Will Bitcoin Be Worth? on: January 08, 2021, 09:26:44 AM
Depends on what will be top for this bubble, others are seeing a 6 digit rise, as high as $300k so unlikely to settle $12,000-$13,000.

And we have to know as well what will be the reason behind the sell-off to really crash the market to more than 50%. We are still in the bull market, so just a slight correction, there are many takers just waiting around the corner.
A 3 digit is impossible there are still a lot of hurdles to be passed through before we even reach $99,999, not to mention that the current available supply is steadily running low. Hopefully the bull run is still going strong for at least a month or two, sell offs will soon be prevalent.
2976  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this the right time to reinvest into Bitcoin? on: January 08, 2021, 08:37:24 AM
It depends as cliché as it can be. If your goal is short term, it would not be that profitable and the crash can happen and you will have to wait for months if not years for you to profit. If long term, then it will be for the best that you will jump the train right now that the prices are still low, it also makes you immune to FOMO.
2977  Economy / Exchanges / Re: We Need to Remove Coinbase as a recommended Exchange on: January 08, 2021, 08:04:04 AM
You can't boycott something without first offering a better alternative, and they are all pretty much the same.
The problem with putting an alternative is that most of them will not survive if they do care about their customers, those alternatives are customer exploitable which is a vicious cycle. To be honest, if the people always want to profit at the expense of other people, I think that a better alternative will not be possible. I feel sad that we can't do anything about our dependence to this kind of business models.
2978  Economy / Speculation / Re: Play smart, set exit points, take profit, re-enter on: January 08, 2021, 07:29:29 AM
It's really hard to set time-based goals on bitcoin given that it's a market that's full of uncertainties and surprises. That's why a lot of us here just buys and hodls for the rest of the term and just take profits whenever we feel that it's already enough for us. Almost everyone in here surely have done this, be it an experienced trader or a newbie that doesn't know a thing or two about actual market movements. It's more safer, and much easier to manage compared to setting some goals in a timely manner that is doomed to fail for the most part.
If you want to know what price you are going to exit and you are content with it, I think will not be difficult for someone to set a goal. The uncertainties and surprises are there but that does not mean that it should affect your judgment, if you drop at X price and you find that it gets higher then there is still a try again maybe next time wait a little longer but as long as you have a profit I think you did not lose.
2979  Economy / Economics / Re: The recent rise in prices, temporary or more long term? on: January 08, 2021, 06:41:43 AM
In my personal opinion, I do feel like the price currently is too high and probably an artificial pump. Although it has been beneficial to many traders, I would not get into buying btc thinking it would go way up to 100k$ very soon. What we are seeing is probably the peak atleast for the current time being. Just like 20k$ was the peak of 2017. Bitcoin almost hit 40k$ which is such a big achievement and I think it will just float around that price or come back to 15-20k$. But I don't think Bitcoin will ever come below 10k$ anytime soon.
That is the most rational thing to do, not expecting much from the recent price hike because the crash might be looming closer than expected. The price will float around the 40k in my opinion but it will be for a long time before it will drastically go down because some institutional investors does not have the idea of selling their hodl for now.
2980  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: A giveaway website that pays streamers and audience on: January 08, 2021, 06:08:25 AM

Depends, Bitcoin seems to encourage those that seek privacy to use it. Therefore, a platform awarding Bitcoin, might not be the best idea especially since this platform would have little reason, other than providing Bitcoin compared to the competitors. I do believe, users on the popular streaming sites allow you to accept donations via Bitcoin, so there's already a place that you could accept donations via that. I think I've seen streamers at least put it in their description if not within the stream itself.
The platform is getting via advertisements in their apps is not a bad deal, the problem with their approach is that the ads are insufferable which means that there is no skip and every time the user leaves the app, they need to log in again. Stream sites that are accepting cryptocurrency donations are not that big because most of the time it is frowned upon their community because most sites do not get a cut from crypto donations. I have to disagree with it not being the best idea because I think incent just had a bad execution of their platform but if it was otherwise, it will be praised.
