3001  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DOGE is living proof of Influential Power of Rich People! on: April 16, 2021, 04:40:24 AM


or could we say anything is possible in crypto.
doge despite its supply, can be a good store of value still after all it could be considered decentralize since the creator left already just like BTC. it's however suspicious because Elon had taken over this project and had been promoting it since. the Chinese trade named Wang was the first i have seen buying dogecoin and since then i also joined buying.

could it be that because they are late in grabbing cheap BTC, it's doge that they are going to make it mainstream?
3002  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tenants to pay rent with bitcoin on: April 15, 2021, 08:26:55 AM
So far only huge (and few) institutions are investing in bitcoin and other crypto currencies. Good thing some people now have the options to pay rent using bitcoin. At least it showing signs that people are willing to "accept" bitcoin and other crypto currencies as a regular currency. But how many people are willing to use it? Wouldn't it be much easier for them to use fiat to pay their rent? Wouldn't it be an extra hassle and loss of opportunity for them to give away bitcoin. You know that right, if you transact bitcoin, you create a taxable event...

there could be many of them but are just not very vocal about it. like this OP his username is Caross which likely be Rick Caruso's account. he is vocal about it because after all, he can't hide about it when he accepts BTC as payment for the rents.

some investors are just not very vocal about their bitcoin investment because the law is still unsure. they didn't want to risk. they probably see Bitcoin to be outlawed by the government just as Ray Dalio said.
3003  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Love the bad news on: April 15, 2021, 07:32:27 AM

it's not 2017 anymore. there may be hacks, any exchange can be hacked but regardless of bad hack news, the bear market what you anticipate might not really cause a big drop of a price anymore. because it looks like Bitcoin is widely known now all over the world. every investor wants to get their hands with it and if the price drop to half right now, many will eventually grab their chance.
3004  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Sovryn - price prediction when public sale will be open on: April 15, 2021, 06:36:34 AM

Pomp supported the project and so the reason why it got lots of investors coming. i just actually learn this project here in the forum when they did a signature campaign.
quite an impressive support that price is almost $50, you can check the price here while its not yet on coinmarketcap.

the platform introduces underlying assets like rbtc, doc and so fort. i'm still unsure what SOV token can do besides staking. so is $40+ price a fair entry point?

Nope, it would just be temporal and not would be a permanent thing for gambling business to give out full support on letting those people do rely on them when it comes to
primary needs and other sources for them to live or sustain this pandemic.We know that this is a business not a charity which its expected that they would really be giving out some
donations but that would really be just good for a certain period of time but dont expect that it would really take too long but its better than have nothing at all.
This would really be giving out some good impressions towards the business which would really be plus in both sides.
Yes, that will not be a permanent thing, but if the casino can still allocate some money to help people who needed after the pandemic is ended, that will give the government support that they are not alone to take care of their citizens. In this situation, every help from people, whether the casino, company or personal, will really worth it to people who needed it, not just from the government trying to solve and help their people. Still, all people gather to give their support to survive this pandemic.

in pandemic time, the government will enforce businesses to help the country stimulate the economy. Biden already calls for an increase in corporate taxes and even individuals with higher income to pay more taxes and it's for the people as well. casino businesses will have no excuse not to help after all they have been supporting the local governments for a long time. i don't know if there are still people going to vegas these days but i can see pawnstar series is running on the history channel. it must be.


3006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ultimately long time holders are enjoying the real BEAUTY! on: April 15, 2021, 03:46:54 AM


 
Long time hodlers really are those who enjoy the real beauty of cryptocurrency indeed. Long term hodling has turned many who never envisaged themselves as millionaires into millionaires. A very good example is the case of the Winklevoss twins who were crazy enough to buy $10m worth of btc when it was $8 and were able to hodl through the good and bad times till it got better. Today they are billionaires and are reaping the fruits of long term hodling.
The crypto market can give participants happiness and sadness, gains and losses. It is decided by people decisions: what coins they buy, what price they buy, what coins they buy and hold, what market trend in which they hold.

Losses if they buy shit coins and hold them in bear market.
Losses if they buy any coins at all time highs and no higher all time highs.

They will hate the market, blame it for their losses. They will consider the crypto market as a scam place

If losses are what they get, they don't see any beauty of the market. You see its beauty and love it more than you thought if you have gains from the market.

regret is often what happens when it's still early and the trader thought he'd have the chance to buy the stash back for a low price again. sadly some trains just won't wait.

if i just hold as well, I could have earned thousands already but i sold my BNB at $54 and never bought back again. i thought it will keep dropping til it will be oversold but  the bullrun just didn't make a signal for me to just keep holding. luckily i bought something else that still make me money.
3007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Ryan Garcia vs Javier Fortuna WBC interim lightweight Title on: April 15, 2021, 03:22:19 AM

Out of 21 fights, 18 won by knockout. Ryan Garcia looks very young but he made it without loss beating boxers with a good rate of knockouts the last with Campbell though shows how soft his chin he can be.   

The fight will still be in July, seem too early to learn the odds but I would assume Garcia will be favored. no poll yet but looking forward to Haney vs Garcia?
3008  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FBI uses bitcoin mixers from forfeiture processing. on: April 14, 2021, 08:24:01 AM
That's odd, wasn't there some info on how confiscated Bitcoin was auctioned by the government so that they can be labeled as "clean" again? Idk what the purpose of them mixing their coins in the mixer then. I also hardly doubt that even with mixers, the FBI (or any central organization) would get away with stealing publicly claimed confiscated coins since the blockchain is completely transparent. It'd be rather easy for them to be traced, and just like this, could easily be blamed for them trying to steal the coins confiscated.

It's rather understandable for the government to steal billions via fiat since that's been happening forever, but with crypto and its transparency? Doubt that. They hate anything that can be traced publicly with a passion since that basically restricts them.

we don't know how dumb they could be. the agents who stole some BTC from the seized Silk Road stash actually were caught for sending it directly to an exchange. that could be sort of a lesson for them and i guess they'd be cautious from then on. if they have read online that mixers are available to avoid getting traced, they will try mixing it. but then this article is from bcash shill.
3009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on how to place sports bets on: April 14, 2021, 08:15:15 AM
How come dice was included here when we are just talking about sports betting?

Maybe one suggestion that would help is don't bet on parlays, and don't chase your bets by doing live betting.
Based on experience, these kind of bets are killing our bankroll, especially on live betting, if we are chasing, sometimes it will result to wiping out our entire bankroll, so always stay discipline in controlling your emotion.

it was fun reading the OP though. why he includes it is just a warning not to go for dice but stick to sports. what was said was all obvious but these are also common mistakes in sports betting. i normally just bet for boxing and MMA but because sometimes there will be no fight on all weekends which i tried baseball and end up losing the fact that i don't know the sport and the teams.

what i can add is that. if you are to bet on boxing or MMA and you see that it's almost a mismatched fight, bet on who is going to win. NOT whether it will be a KO or by submission.
3010  Economy / Economics / Re: donating 50% of the vaccines purchased to the government. on: April 14, 2021, 07:24:56 AM

the problem is that the news media in our country isn't also reliable. we don't even know these articles are true. it would be funny to actually watch the news even the GMA or this inquirer saying something else than what was being published elsewhere. you'd be surprised that even the personalities from prison detained for drug trafficking are still published to these news media.

To be honest, Dutertes response to COVID has been long criticized, and so has been his ruling of the country, so I am really not surprised that they are forcing privately-owned companies to donate half of the vaccines to the government. It seems that he wants to dip his toes in both pools with extracting money from the ADB and extorting companies. But when you are that type of autocrat, anything goes.
I don't follow political news in the Philippines...
But I do agree with you that Duterte's leadership has been criticized for a long time and he doesn't care about it like that. forcing private companies to donate vaccine funds looks like indirect blackmail and is likely to make things worse there.

But Duterte is really not a good leader in times of needs especially that all of his efforts are not enough to lead.
Vaccines in Philippines are not properly allocated and regulated because corrupt authorities are still doing their best to thrift the budget for the vaccine and get some.
Isn't reasonable if governments will have a fair price for the mass and for poor people? In this pandemic, does money and corruption still matters?

even the US can't handle this covid19. look how much homeless are there in US today because of the joblessness due to covid. if it weren't for duterte, there would have been war as well apart from covid.  i'm fine watching Manila Bay still.


3011  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A little sad story on: April 14, 2021, 06:18:53 AM

you're trading on leverage, it happens to season traders too. you figure the market goes up and you think it will go down all because it had reached heights that will possibly go down. you're not the only one who made mistakes.

one reason i don't like futures because of the leverage. unlike when you are just accumulating coins thru trading, if somehow i got burned, i can turn to another coin or invest my stablecoin to some other token.
3012  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dogecoin Price Prediction on: April 14, 2021, 04:59:05 AM
I expect it to come back down to $0.07 for a while. Going up almost 50% in a day is just not sustainable.
The coinbase IPO is pumping doge coin. I see that if the growth that happens with doge recently is not causing by good news related to the doge coin. This is the bullish impact from the coinbase IPO and there are lots of positive comments about that as well. It already surpassed a new ATH but i do believe the price will be quite stable around 9 cents.

Remember doge is not failing so hard in the last pump and this time will a bit different compared with the old pump.

would you move to another coin if it doesn't drop to $0.09 later?

it sounded already that you have sold at $0.11 and you have planned to buy back at $0.09. there was strong support in around 0.04 before it shoots to where it is now. tried trading doge with small capital to play with the market so i'm going to wait for another week to see if doge falls back to its support when it couldn't break the $0.12.

3013  Economy / Exchanges / Re: How come some KYC exchanges ask for more info than others? on: April 13, 2021, 06:30:37 AM

what he could mean is that some exchanges are not just asking KYC documents like government IDs such as passport or driver's license but some exchanges are asking viceo calls. Binance will ask you to do this whenever you want to recover your account due to losing your phone. a local exchange also in my country asked for a videocall too. i don't know what other exchanges are also asking but it's true too much if they do this.
3014  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US idea to counter China attack with bitcoin on: April 13, 2021, 06:02:23 AM

this theory comes up when someone said that china is weaponizing BTC against USD. anything that will weaken USD i guess will be supported by China but it seems far fetch since BTC is also a threat to China's Digital Yuan. all fiat money is threatened by BTC that is about to dominate. if the US is going to use BTC to attack China, US would have to adopt BTC.

I don't really care between the war between these two countries because it's not my business and I also don't want to interfere too much with these big countries because they have the principle of living a peaceful life
things that are commonplace happen in any role, especially in terms of sharing something with the aim of advancing the economy of their country. there will always be intervening with each other, others just see this is a simulation they are doing to show the strength and ability of their country.

I am just like you, whatever happens to these two big countries will not have an impact if they themselves only throw their opinions. all need peace to move the economy so there is no need for this to always be a material to be exaggerated

thousands of years ago in the time of Genghis Khan, China had already experienced devaluing their paper money as well just as what US is experiencing right now and it all ends up in war. hopefully if one will not engage. there won't be war.

3015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Forget about ETH Era, We are on BINANCE Era right now!!! Long Live BSC!!! on: April 13, 2021, 04:08:05 AM
it's a money giveaway for holding BSC, it's definitely a moneymaker this time. but there will be chances so careful with BSC because once ETH come to find their solution to the high fees, you'd come running back again to ETH. didn't put all your eggs in one basket as they say. eth is more than $2k, a token that big isn't going down without a fight. ETH also on the way to making changes.
3016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Cotto vs Marquez - Exhibition match on: April 13, 2021, 02:47:06 AM
Seriously, they're going to have an exhibition match? these fighters had a match with Pacquiao before and that's good to see that they'll be having their exhibition match.
I guess other retired players can still go back into the ring if they want to just for an exhibition.

If they still want to dance in the Ring and they still have those bodies that can take some power punches, why not. After all, these guys are one of the best fighters of their time. Now that they want to try again in the ring as an entertainer, then they need to give their best since their fight is not free to watch. I think more of those boxers who still in the shape to box will gonna have their exhibition match after this fight. The outcome of this fight will result in their decision whether they coming back or not.

I don't think so mate, this is jus an exhibition match AKA money making scheme for retired boxers and not a gauge for them to come back to competitive boxing.
Yes, again Floyd and then Tyson vs Jones. Now boxers are making this exhibition match to make money and I doubt that either Cotto or Marquez will come out of retirement is this pandemic boxing era.

I just don't know what got into them but this series of exhibition match is making boxing looks like a circus and i don't think that we deserve this one as hardcore fan of boxing.
Well it's a business when boxing started to have boxing promoters like Don King and Bob Arum. Although we have seen a lot of good fights, yet there could be a lot of good fights that could have happen if not for the epidemic.

they are picking the boxers who had accomplished greatness in the past and have huge fans that are willing to pay to watch them for an exhibition fight. Tyson has the biggest fan of all i guess. this is just for money ofc as it's business for arum and king. there is no belt involve here. but then they have to make money for there is the need to. if they could just make the Pacquiao vs Marquez fight possible, they will do it to make money. sadly Marquez isn't going to give Pacquiao a chance.

Russia; The digital ruble will be launched in 2023

So in the prime time of next Bitcoin cycle bear market. All newspapers will declare Bitcoin dead at that time, but Russians will issue their own Bitcoin. Bad timing Vadimir, very bad timing. Should have stay at buying gold.

when the bear market comes, people will start converting their coins to stablecoin and rubble or reminbi digital cash will be perfect.

I think Russia could be a good or bad country from wherever you are looking at it but the fact is that they have more progressive than most other nations regarding crypto is a marvelous shock to me, in a good way of course. I mean we all know what kind of nation they are, they just recently banned gay marriage and relationships for example, so in some financial stuff they are very very progressive and while in some social stuff they are conservative which surprises me sometimes.

This digital ruble if done right could put them in contention for being the hub of crypto world, and that would mean a lot of money as well, to live in a nation where you can use crypto currencies however you want and easily turn it into digital ruble and spend it anywhere you go would make this nation a wonderful place for all the crypto currency lovers in the world.

if they can allow crypto to still coexist when their CBDC is implemented in their society, then that's good.
the government will have all the control over their people thru this CBDC but it's what governments do, they can't allow anarchy. there is no good or bad country but their government will do what they have to do for their race to survive. lucky are the Russians their government can even produce their own covid vaccine.

3018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Avoid been carried away, it's never going to be bullish forever on: April 13, 2021, 01:26:23 AM
This bull run can lasted for few months more but I'm not really ready to bet of that so instead I make sure I've made my ROI back and turned into stable coins and use the rest to gamble, I suggest you do the same too, make your initial investment back first

that's not how to make money when there is a bull market. it's easy to accumulate and grow your BTC this time with the coins you turned into stablecoins. gamble less this time, after all, there are other things to get busy with because something else is going on. its bullrun.
you can even trade the altcoins you have right now and sell every time it touches a new ATH. and then wait for it to dip again before buying them once again.
3019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devices used for Gambling on: April 13, 2021, 01:08:27 AM


if there were just no phones today i will still be using the desktop and have a big screen all the time but if you keep monitors the market while also betting on sports and playing lottery or dice, it's the phone that gives you the best experience. the app of the casinos today is just making things easy for anyone to use their platform.
however, you wouldn't be using phones if you have experienced the fat finger mistake before.  Cheesy

3020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: April 12, 2021, 08:55:47 AM
can't get over that i once again bet for Kevin  Grin

It appears that the MMA news media has begun to create the rivalry between Rose Namajunas and Weili Zhang to be a political battle hehe. Similar to Hollywood and China’s manipulation to spread their agenda, this might be another opportunity for the Chinese communist party to create a similar storyline.

As she prepares to battle Zhang for the 115-pound title at UFC 261 on April 24, Namajunas recently talked about her Lithuanian heritage and the country’s fight for freedom from the communist Soviet Union, which ended in 1990. Namajunas then related that to Zhang’s own home country of China, where the communist party remains in power today.

According to Namajunas, whose family hails from Lithuania, she’s found a new drive to beat Zhang after educating her teammates on Lithuania’s own history to rid the country of communism after living under Soviet rule following World War II.


Source https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/4/11/22378579/rose-namajunas-motivated-to-beat-zhang-weili-for-what-she-represents-communism-better-dead-than-red

she keeps saying there nothing personal against her but she's bringing it somewhere like it's good vs bad. but then anyway, if it keeps her motivated then go on. i don't think she will win against weili. i can tell already this is even a no-match fight. i hope the media won't make it controversial enough to show how brutal the Chinese are when this is just an MMA sports.
