301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: we would have been nothing without Bitcoin and Bitcoin forum on: May 16, 2020, 02:52:54 PM
*We would have been been deceived by our government leaders to follow their footsteps.
Agreed to the above statement aside from this,

We have our own mind and our own voice. We can think, decide, and investigate in every decision of our government. Not because bitcoin is there means that we already have created our own path, bitcoin is not the one that changes that, but ourselves.
We all became curious and that is why we got to this forum, our destiny is in our hands and that is why we choose to learn about bitcoin and the blockchain technology. This forum created by Satoshi helps many people in different ways like understanding the economy more and learn ways how to improve the poor payment system that are been for years.

There are a lot of information in this forum and that is why I allocate most of my time to read different posts and replies because I want a knowledge and wisdom that I can use in the future.

I also observed that people nowadays are most likely to pay through online than to pay though the use of traditional payment system because of the pandemic that is going on. In my country, the government is also promoting digital or the cashless society because the WHO warns that the virus can also spread through cash. There are now a lot of online payment system but the problem is they still using online local currency than bitcoin. Yes there is now a online payment system but it seems that only few people who are interested to use bitcoin to buy the things that they need.

That is the reason why we should able to adapt market changes, there is no forever donwtrend and there is also no forever uptrend. Prices moves in a wave pattern, for those traders who have having hard time to make profit while bear market is occurring, it is better if you will wait or to practice more downtrend strategies.

Trading is like a battle or a war where if you go unprepared, you will be slaughtered. It is good if we are aware on our inner strength that we can use to become profitable even if the bearish market is occurring.

Well, if most of your posts will be bounty reports, it's not likely that you will get merit. First, because forum users don't read posts in bounty board and not looking for posts to merit there. Second, there is no reason to give merit to users who came here just for bounties. They just don't give any value to this forum and they didn't made any merit worthy posts.
But I don't agree that bounty hunter can't get merits and rank up. You can participate in bounties and at the same make good posts, contribute to forum. People don't check posting history before giving merit. If you will make merit worthy post, I doubt that someone will check your post history and say "Oh shit, he is bounty hunter, I shouldn't give him merit".
It seems that most of the bounty hunters have alts that they are using to earn more coins because of their greed, there are 2 kinds of people who join and posting in this forum. The first is the people who often creates good quality posts because it makes them happy and they are focusing to contribute information in the forum, the other is the people who are just a bounty hunter who do shit posting for some money and satoshi. For me getting merit is privilege, that is why we should only give it to those people who are creating good quality posts and to those worthy of having a merit.
305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ₿ Bitcoin Halving Attracts World Attention on: May 11, 2020, 01:05:52 PM
Before effect I think we have seen it already, except there is going to be a miraculous bull within the few hours to halving,  so the after effects is what everyone is looking out for.
We have already got the result of before effect and it was quite bumpy for sure. Bitcoin price have already showed enough resistance in 8k zone but some weeks earlier it was between  6k to 7k. For now before halving price drama is done and we have to wait for some extra hours to see rest of the game. Definitely it will be a tough test for miners but most probably a golden time for traders & holders.    

More or less halving will put bold effect on bitcoin price and trading value. Lets wait for the better outcomes from upcoming Bitcoin halving.
The momentum of the bitcoin is already finished and that is the reason why we saw a huge pullback with low volume but take a look at the wick when the bounce happened, it is super long that indicating many people who panic. The halving is approaching and by looking at the price action, the participants are growing so there is a high chance that the halving will become a catalyst that can lead to spike of the bitcoin.
306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: May 10, 2020, 12:18:31 PM
Plus the Warriors had their worst post season with the Injuries. When Leonard left Toronto, nothing changes, they're still strong and intact.
But, I can't also deny that Leonard is one of the best in this era. Yes, he is underrated because of some reasons I mentioned above.
Remember when LeBron left Cleveland for the first time? When he Left Miami? Then, back to Cleveland, and then left Cleveland again. When he left, the organization automatically turns into a lottery team. That's what LeBron is different from Leonard.

It's hard to compete when there's an excuses, the warriors had a bad playoffs due to injury, but that was just part of the game.
Why people are not talking about the Spurs chances to beat warriors when Leonard was injured during their match up years ago?
Definitely not an excuse.
They are the worst this year.
Injuries from splash brothers, then Green also went to an injury. Iggy finished his contract then Livingston retiring.
That's a lot.
An overhaul is needed and it became a team which I don't really recognize players.  Grin

Leonard is something else.
He is being paid that high because he can do it all.
He can make plays, shoot threes, penetrate and also doing hardcore defense. Leaving Raptors might be a bad look for the crowd specially the Canadian fans but he just want to play at his hometown.
Luckily, Nick Nurse can adjust the plays even without Leonard which is cool.
He leaved because it is what he wants, there is a rumors before that one of his major fans offer him a free penthouse just to stay with the Toronto but he did not accept the offer and he chose to play in another team and that is why he is now in Clippers. Yes he is good that is why the Lakers are having a hard time to beat the Clippers because of what Leonard can do but the only problem is the not good relationship between Leonard and Paul George because it affects the overall strength,plays and power of the team.
307  Other / Meta / Re: Greed or Need? What's changed with bitcointalk ? on: May 09, 2020, 08:38:23 AM
This is a bitcoin forum what did you expect? We are all greedy here.

Hold on there mindrust.

I've never been greedy.  I bought what I need, and now I work when I want.  Last month I was volunteering in the hospitals here.  

I've never scammed anyone for as much as a satoshi.   Some people get more joy out of helping others.  

Being greedy doesn't mean you are also a scammer. I thought I pointed that out in my post. (It is fine as long as you don't cheat or spam)

Being greedy itself is not necessarily a bad thing. That's the system we are living in that taught us it is good to be greedy. That's capitalism is all about.

Bigger, more, latest is always better.

If that wasn't true, then who is buying all these new cars, phones, bigger houses and boats? If we were all spending for the stuff only that we needed (like you) then the capitalism wouldn't exist. (Is this what you want vod?)

Greed is good. Long live capitalism.

Anyway, humans are forever controlled by greed and fear after all. Why I said so? because all of us have desires that we want to achieve and fulfill that can bring joy or enjoyment to us . In terms of fear, we are controlled by fear because we are afraid that we are not going to fulfill our desires. For example, there are members who are in this forum who are afraid to abandon or leave their current sig because they know that they will not earn some btc that can help them to survive. Both greed and emotion are important but we should control it. Having a desires are not a bad thing after all because it is one of the economic engine that help us to be determine and achieve what we want.
308  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How bitcoins is helping during the lockdown on: May 08, 2020, 10:14:05 AM
Actually, it is true that bitcoin is a safe haven during a pandemic, I managed to buy some essentials through bitcoin. Without it, It'll be hard for me to buy those essentials that will keep us safe and survive during a crisis, It's already proven by many people. I guess it's better to have a digital asset that can be used to transact online.

It depends actually on how we perceived the meaning of safe haven for assets. Because in comparison to Gold, Bitcoin declined due to the pandemic crisis and Gold stays at the same price. With this, bitcoin being considered as a safe haven for me as an asset is not valid. Going back to OP, regardless of bitcoin being safe haven or not, bitcoin really helped allot during this crisis, more and more transactions are being transferred through means of cryptocurrency and bitcoin, that is because, allot of remittance centers aren't available, it also serves as a way of donation to help COVID patients and frontliners aside from personal necessities we need to have.
In terms of payment system nowadays, bitcoin helped many people especially those who are in the lockdown. The WHO warned many people that the virus can be spread through the cash so there is advantages of using bitcoin. In my country suggests to use online payments system especially with the use of certain bitcoin apps where there are a lot of features like able to pay bills and able to buy load and also able to send bitcoin instantly.
309  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sudden fall in bitcoin price after successful halving, Post-halving prediction. on: May 08, 2020, 09:32:21 AM
My guess is that there will be a significant dumping at the $10,000. BTC has already hit $10,000 at Binance but it did not last long. It was very quickly pushed downward. The demand for Bitcoin at $10,000 must be looking insignificant as compared to the desire to sell. I will have to create a sell order at $10,000 myself, at least a portion. Because we are almost certain that $10,000 will cause a good bounce downward. 
There will be another massive pullback that will happen for sure after the halving, even though that the price is looking bullish; we are still not seeing a major pullback and it is sign of bearishness. We should remember that the price moves like waves, we should not expect that the bitcoin will have strong capitulation after the halving because pullback is necessary. The hype can make us experience loss so we should take seriously especially doing analysis in order for us to understand the price action of the bitcoin.
310  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is day trading is good in crypto market? on: May 07, 2020, 12:28:23 PM
It is really depends on the perspective of a trader, we have different strengths and weaknesses so our skills are different to each other. Day trading is not working for me well because of my time where I have work to day, I'm a swing trader because that is suitable to my skills and also to my risk appetite. Find first if day trading is suitable to you then if it is good, try to forward testing with risk management in order for you to handle different scenarios.
311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Michael Jordan’s gambling history revisited. on: May 06, 2020, 05:57:23 AM
I think no, most of the celebrities and popular athletes are most likely to go in casinos to do gambling than to just visit in online casinos. The enjoyment and the experience are what they want and that is why I am sure that they are not visiting online gambling sites because they are prefer to go in physical casinos because of the feeling and the experience that may get. Anyway the news about Michael Jordan is not new anymore because there are some articles and images before that showing he is playing inside casinos at Las Vegas.
312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: It seems like it's the end for bounties on: May 06, 2020, 02:33:58 AM
There are still some legit bounties but do not expect that the payment will be huge like what happened on 2017 where most of the bounties are profitable. For me participating is now a waste of time, I now focusing to improve my profession which is day trading and for me there are many opportunities in trading than finding or joining in bounty campaigns. There are still people who are bounty hunters but it is really a gamble for them especially if they are just hyping their selves about the success of the project.
313  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Ang tatlong posibleng scenerio pagkatapos ng Bitcoin halving on: May 05, 2020, 12:31:33 PM

To wrap it up, Bullish ako sa Bitcoin at hindi ko talaga pinagtutuunan ng pansin ang shorter time frame sa dahilang magulo sa utak (HODL is life). Makikita naman natin sa chart na may potential talaga itong magbigay ng ROI, nasisigurado ko rin na hindi lang halving ang magiging dahilan ng pagtaas o pagbaba ng presyo nito pero iyon ay sa tingin ko na magsisilbing malaking parte kung saan talaga ang mundo ng crypto ay patungo.

Mostly ang scenario ng Bitcoin after the halving ay overhyped kaya nakikita natin na nagkakaroon ng FOMO during this event.  But the question is, ganun pa rin kaya ka-inosente ang mga taong nag-iinvest dito?  If yes, makakakita ulit tayo ng exponential increase ng presyo ni BTC, pero kung sakaling natuto na ang mga tao, malamang it is another boring flat lines.

Another thing we should be on a lookout here is..  will the whales pump BTC hard or they'll just let the market to move on its own.  Aminin man natin sa hindi malaki pa rin ang ginagampanan ng mga whale investors sa pagtaas at pagbaba ng presyo ng BTC.  If they decided to hoard after the halving then masasabi nating we will have a good ride, pero kung dump malamang it is a rough ride.


Napapansin ko nga ang bitcoin halving ay nag bubunga ng matinding hype, dami kong post na nakikita all over the internet about the good scenarios that may happen after the bitcoin halving. Yung Hype na ito ay napupunta naman sa FOMO kaya for sure na may mga tao na pwedeng maluge specially if they will hyping theirselves by reading articles or opinions about the halving. Puro kasi speculation ang nakikita ko kaya medyo may doubt ako. For me there will be a boring scenario that may happen where the price will not move great or it will stay at it is before.
314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have control or not? on: May 03, 2020, 06:22:43 AM

Maybe offline gambling moves to online casinos because they can not go to the casino, so they use the online casino to playing gambling. They need to have strong control when they are playing gambling, no whether offline or online gambling, because that can help gamblers to prevent the big loss. Don't lose control if we want to save our money.

When you play in an online casino, it is much more difficult to control the money you plan to spend. Because you have your Bank cards and wallets with cryptocurrencies at hand. You can't take a few hundred bucks out of your wallet and go play in an offline casino with it and leave everything else at home. This is why people should be more careful.

The same goes with online casino. You have all the money in you wallet and you can deposit them in the gambling site to play. The control in gambling always come from how strong you're in your mind and how much you care about your money. If you love your money, after few loses you will definitely quit gambling.
Controlling ourselves is a great factor especially if we do not want to become part of the people who are addicted to gambling. When I do gambling, I make sure that I have fully control to my emotions because I understand and I'm aware that emotion have a vital role especially for us gamblers. If we are carried away by our emotions, there is a high chance of losing in gambling. We should focus on how we will control our self in order for us to lessen the risks and protect our capital.
315  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need advice on becoming a successful trader on: May 03, 2020, 04:34:48 AM
Weeks are not enough to become a successful trader, trading is a process and it takes a lot of time to master the basics. I think it is better if you will paper trading first where you can practice and to do forward testing. In order to learn many things in the market, you should have burning desires that can make you to hard work and work smart. Enjoying and being happy always is also a factor, those successful traders are happy when they do trading and we should also like that especially if we want to become a advanced trader.
316  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are you using a trading bot? on: May 02, 2020, 02:54:54 AM
I do not really get why there are traders who want to use trading bots than to trade with themselves, maybe they think that there is a free money with the use of trading bots. I think it makes people to become a trader that doesn't have any room for improvement because they keep using bot. They are not gaining experiences and especially knowledge and that is why I do not prefer to use. The losing rate us also high and for me it is better to trade with our own.
317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino workers, asking for salary during the shutdown on: May 01, 2020, 03:10:03 PM
many people are experiencing the effects of this pandemic, especially the food industry and many employees are laid off from work, we can only hope that this pandemic ends soon and life returns to normal again.

As the lockdown gets extended more and more people and businesses will suffer. People are losing their jobs and businesses are coming to an end. Since physically casino are closed too, the owners have only two options either to dismiss their employees or deduct  their salaries. I think the 2nd option is much better as employees have hope to resume the work when this pandemic is over.
We cannot do about that because it is one of the way to stop the spreading of the virus. Yes there are many people who suffering because of the quarantine but if the governments around the world will not do that, there will be a major catastrophe that may happen. Most of casinos are closed nowadays and many of their employees are part of the no work no pay, I think the problem is their management where their employees should receive equal salary.
318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What old coins are you still holding? on: May 01, 2020, 02:31:33 PM
I know that many of us regretted our past decisions, I'm part of the people who still holding old coins since 2017. Most of my coins doesn't have value anymore and it is what I regretted because I didn't sell it when its price is still high but I know it is okay for me especially I gaine experience and knowledge. I became too greedy that is why I have still have hope and holding coin that can now considered as shitcoins because of the cheap value.
319  Economy / Economics / Re: The positive impact ~ on: May 01, 2020, 02:05:41 PM
Are you aware that there are major businesses that are funded during recession like Burger King, Airbnb, CNN,  Disney and many more. It indicates that there are so many opportunities even if we are facing a crisis. Many people are seeing the impact as negative, they are so blind with the other which is the positive side. We can see opportunities through our mind if we train it. It is true that there are many people loses their job like my parents because of the pandemic, but we should see the positive side which is also having more time to our selves and to our family.
320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has this period killed your desire or exited it on: April 28, 2020, 03:46:33 PM
I think there are sports gambler that can live without it, but still a lot of them are missing it right now. They are more familiar with that compared to esports. They may try esports betting but I think everyone will miss the sports they are watching ever since.

Instead of thinking about missing the sports betting. Isn't it better to see the sports as a whole, not just the betting side. I really missed watching the games. The stars, the athletic skills, the sportmanship. I just can't explain why it is more than just sports and betting. I think you can already understand me as a sports lover. And yeah, I agree with all the other posts, it will take some months or years for sports to be able to go back to normal, or continue with the new normal.

We all missed watching the games on the television or in the stadium. But in these situations, we can only do another else because sports has been cancelling. It is better to take care of our life first because that is the important thing that we can do right now. Yes, we need to wait until this crisis end so the sports can reschedule the match. I think at that time, and the audience will be bigger because they want to have the feeling to watch the games in the stadium.

As for me, I miss betting more than watching as I don't really watch the full game when I put my bet. I have a lot of stuff to do online, so spending 2 to 3 hours watching the games I bet on is kinda waste of time for me, and I don't feel comfortable watching games when I bet.
It is not a waste of time especially if watching can make you feel comfortable and can bring enjoyment to you. I love watching and I also love betting but nowadays, I cannot do it anymore because of the ongoing community quarantine where local and international sports are cancelled due to the pandemic. It is sad for us gamblers because we cannot fulfil our desires, there are times that I really not feel comfortable because I still cannot gamble in sports betting.
