3021  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.

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.




3022  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is BNB is at it's peak price? on: April 12, 2021, 06:51:03 AM

most of the cryptocurrencies today are actually at their peak, you can just look at the monthly chart to see for yourself that they are all hitting the level where you can say it's about to go down particularly BTC. we are just busy trading on the 4hour chart because it's where we can see a lot of trading movement still.

many of the long-term investors probably have sold their bags already and just waiting when all these will roll down. but because institutions are adding cryptocurrencies to their list, the market might just keep moving up until it becomes unsustainable.

3023  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia; The digital ruble will be launched in 2023 on: April 12, 2021, 06:00:10 AM
Governments will all eventually turn to Crypto currencies or digital currencies, because it is easier to manipulate them. Just imagine the effort that goes into printing more money, compared to the increasing of the coin cap... when you have a token that are controlled by a government. (Hard forks will be easy, because the government controls all the full nodes)  Angry

They simply tell the developers to adjust the parameters in the code and they update the client and push it electronically to all the full nodes that they are controlling and viola... the coin cap is increased.  Roll Eyes

this proves that projects with CEOs are certainly not decentralized. if you have been holding millions of tokens for a while and then they update, your tokens could be worthless if they won't allow you to update or migrate to the new client.

2023 seems too late for the launch. all they just need is to hire hundreds of coders to reverse engineer what goes on inside the Chinese CBDC wallet. but then this could be the reason why Skorobogatova considers it 3rd form of money. it's not a priority i guess.
3024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Avoid been carried away, it's never going to be bullish forever on: April 12, 2021, 05:24:39 AM

if you have missed dumping all you have in the last bullrun, there is no reason for you to worry anymore. all you have left is what's left but consider it all as profit for holding while the long pullback took more than a year. for anyone who had experienced holding for years, you really should have been trading for you have missed the biggest opportunity every time retracements happen.

don't get carried away, sell every time it goes to a new ATH.
3025  Economy / Speculation / Re: How low could the next bear market move bitcoin? on: April 12, 2021, 05:11:23 AM
Last I looked my worst case scenario was around 30k to 20k and it was reasonable to buying in small part around there no matter how it seemed it could easily bounce at that point.  Right now it should dip to 58k to meet closing main market prices.
   Theres no proper hint of a bear market move, its not properly broken anything yet.  Move past 55k and stay there for daily and weekly bars and we can speak further on this with some seriousness.   Dollar index is quite slowly moving up, a sharp move up would cause more upset.

it's about to go up they say. if there will really be a bear market that will come soon, it's likely below $20k but not less $10k. i would however be on the lookout of a signal whether the market will do another downturn which it hasn't shown yet.

so far many are speculating that the price could really break out to more than $100K while everything seems to fall apart from a health crisis, real estate to supply chain to which the supercycle they are expecting could happen.
3026  Economy / Economics / Re: Biden infrastructure investment - got it right? on: April 11, 2021, 06:32:54 AM
China passing in GDP seems inevitable. The US just doesn't have the population base to be able to have a larger economy than China, which has a billion more people in their economy than the US has. As more of the Chinese population moves into the middle class, their economy will continue to see robust growth. It's the same thing that made the US an economic super power. The fastest way to grow the economy is to increase the population base, which would mean increasing immigration.  The US should be taking advantage of this while it's still the primary destination for skilled immigrants in the world.

it's not about the population. China made portions of their area attractive to investors they just have more money now because they allow investors and companies to move there because of their cheap labor. they also invest and acquire companies and commercial lots in US.  

the greatest achievement they did was when they've controlled the covid19 hence avoiding the recession too. while their economy is booming still and all else are falling apart, it's an advantage for them to push plans.

It's absolutely about population. Just about every mainstream economist agrees that the fastest way to boost GDP is increase the population. GDP growth and population are inextricably linked.  China is no longer the epicenter of cheap labor, it's moved to southeast Asia.  China is outsourcing to cheaper production points to fuel it's economic growth, the same as the US did previously. All developing economies eventually reach the point where cheap labor is needed to fuel growth, and China is now reaching that point, which is why production of textiles has shifted to Indonesia, Bangladesh and Vietnam, among others.  What's fueling China's economic growth more than anything else is hundreds of millions of people moving into the middle class, because again, GDP is all about population size and technological advancement.  No matter how technologically advanced the US is, it will not be able to compete with the sheer size of China's population, which is 4x our own.

well India has the 2nd largest population. they should be the 2nd largest economy by now?
but i do think india is becoming rich. they are now starting to have a ton of businesses moving in the country as well, they are copying the Chinese way of doing things which manufacturers are moving into them as well.

US became the largest economy on the strength of its innovation in Millitary, Space, Electronics and Software technologies. Almost all of these have now been copied over by the Chinese. They have also been able to replicate and sustain the kind of R&D infrastructure that enabled the USA in the times on cold war. With a disillusioned public that simply doesn't trust corporate American and political American anymore, the US doesn't have the gas needed to compete.

This Biden plan which aims to invest money to "repair" roads and bridges. While this will surely boost incomes and lead to increased economic activity, what America needs is healing, rejuvenation and a sense of purpose that its people were known for. Right now, they are all "hustlers" trying to somehow make something out of themselves and get ahead of the rat race.

China will not engage in war though. there won't be money to make there and one way for them to pay the debt to China i guess is to devalue USD.

3027  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coins are good for investing? on: April 11, 2021, 06:21:34 AM
How about these:

1- One of the users said something thoughtful: An investor might wanna wait for it to calm down first before investing to BNB yet. It had really jump quickly and this is all because of the ETH high gas fee but when ETH updates and gas fees are lowered, the investors may fly back to ETH leaving BNB to dip. What is your opinion about it?

2- Are BTC, ETH and BNB coins worth buying at current price? For example, some website said about $130,000 for BTC in the future.

3- How about the Sovryn price?

4- Any free website like https://tradesanta.com/en?

5- I use https://freewallet.org/, is it a good wallet?

A news about XRP:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/xrp-futures-open-interest-reaches-1-2-billion-record


don't use that freewallet. you need to read the feedback to that wallet because there are plenty of them whose coins were frozen. they couldn't withdraw it anymore.

investing in tokens that are cheaper would be the best for capital as low as $500. i would probably buy coins as low as $0.15 and there are still many of these tokens right now. they basically have soar high already as the price started probably below $0.05 but investing while it dips is better. coins like XLM, TRX and VET will be my choice for it and then constantly trade with it to accumulate.

this is the story that you wouldn't want to happen to you but it did. when you just gamble a few, you wouldn't mind it but you regret after when you already lose a sum. it already happened so you learned a lesson.

ending your life won't solve anything. remember your friend who gave you loan seems very generous for he trusted you. and i can say if he trusted you that much, you must be a good person. there are probably lots of people who love you.
3030  Economy / Economics / Re: Biden infrastructure investment - got it right? on: April 11, 2021, 02:33:21 AM
china had managed to make friends countries in the middle east now and making businesses and building infrastructures which some countries in the middle east are also benefitting. this is winning them in geopolitics. theories arise already that one day China and their friends will decide not to trust the USD anymore for its devalued. no doubt the price of BTC is also the effect of distributing trillions while there is a pandemic.
3031  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Chinese Secret Bitcoin farm covered by Sky News on: April 10, 2021, 07:17:06 AM
they are saying that this farm is built right inside an industrial establishment that is why the rise of electricity consumption isn't so suspicious for authority. they got away. It's a wonder though how Sky News ever get to cover them on their story while the totalitarian communist government had not.

on the other hand, the news tackling climate change and the miner farms like this one are contributing to global warming.

3032  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Starting investing on April 10, 2021: too late find a 10x in 2021? on: April 10, 2021, 06:30:02 AM
Hi, I have a high risk profile.   I think I can invest 100,000 US dollars over the next month. This is 75% of my savings, from my entire life.  It's a one-shot deal.   I accept that I could lose all my money and have no savings.  I am early middle-age.

I'd like a 10x return at least.   I do not believe I am an idiot, nor do I believe anyone can always pick winners.
20x would be even more awesome.
I am interested in about a year time horizon starting the clock from April 10,  2021.  

1. How would you invest my 100,000 and over what time horizon?  I'm thinking for alt-coins you have to get in near the ICO or within the first month to realize a 10x.  
2. How many alt-coins would you suggest I focus on?  For example, 10,000 each on 10 alt-coins?  or 5000 each on 20 alt-coins?  Or 1000 each on 100 alt-coins?  
3. Names of specific alt-coins where it's not too late to realize 10x gains if you are new to the market in April 2021?  I see some YouTube videos and charts, and it seems I am 3-4 months late to the game.  Had I just invested in January 2021 in those projects that I like, I would easily have had a 3-5x already.
4. Stepping back, am I too late already to the alt-coin market?  Should I just do  bitcoin which I view as low-risk?

thank you!

100,000USD is big. right on.
you still are the one going to decide after we suggest some coins to invest so just go over https://coinmarketcap.com/ pick the ones that you think are cool to have in your wallet. mind you the very first coin you see on top named BITCOIN has the biggest cap that you already learned as low-risk, all the rest you see below are called altcoins. there are tons of them, you pick.


3033  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How have you impact people with cryptocurrency knowledge on: April 10, 2021, 05:27:08 AM
I have always see people talking about advancement and recognition of bitcoin and cryptocurrency to all. But majority have done nothing to proclaim and encourage people to know about cryptocurrency.
Please in your own little ways what have you done to impact the knowledge of bitcoin and cryptocurrency to people.
Lol you know nothing about Our effort and dedication in the past.

Remember that Everyone of us who first got a Profit in this market had encourage all the people around us , But it's just happen that they aren't ready and we got tired in approaching them.

We tried to ask them investing even their smallest extra money to try but what we got is denial so we stopped and never try it again.

since the time of lockdown, more people are actually learning more about making money online and they stumble to Bitcoin in a way where facebook users are talking about. those users had done something to spread the word about BTC and then made them invest and then got scammed. well, still they learn about BTC.

i give some BTC to my sister and was surprised she actually learned how BTC works after sometimes, i guess the feed on your youtube had helped because i set to subscribe to andreas antonop.



3034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP set to dethrone Bitcoin on: April 09, 2021, 10:51:50 AM
Do you really think this will happen? It's funny, this project does not have a base to overtake Bitcoin. Most likely, ETH or BNB these projects bring benefits to the entire crypto world, promoting projects thereby increasing their base.

its possible that BTC, ETH and BNB will be replaced by something new. but there is just less benefit using XRP that will make it a threat to BTC being number one.
the old technology is always going to be replaced by the new but there just no better token that will replace BTC as of now.

and even if XRP wins to be on top in terms of marketcap, it will just be the 2nd option for users. probably just going to be used for cashing out.
3035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are There Drug Options for Gamblers' Disorderlyness? on: April 09, 2021, 10:39:23 AM
old habits die hard. but you just can't add another habit to make the other disappear or he'd be addicted to drugs. thats another problem once again. what he needs is a habit that will make him occupied and forget about gambling like a woman in his life who will help him become a better person. this girl could be challenging to find though.
or maybe a job or a business that will keep him busy. if all don't work then a professional help.
3036  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin to trigger central bank collapse on: April 09, 2021, 10:20:49 AM
The moment when Bitcoin really threaten the Fiat system, governments will step in to "ban" it and to protect it. We saw massive bailouts to Banks and the traditional fiat economy when it nearly collapsed in 2018. Do you think for one moment that governments will allow any disruption to take place, without them fighting back?

We will see much stronger regulations and laws being promulgated in the future, to protect Fiat currencies. The other option that they will have, is to develop their own "GovCoin" (They will use tax payers money to fund it and developers will queue to get those government tenders)  Roll Eyes
How can Bitcoin cause the collapse of the banking system? Bitcoin does not threaten its existence at all. If the banking system felt this, then the states would immediately react to it very sharply, up to the prohibition of cryptocurrency. Despite various optimistic statements on this matter, the cryptocurrency has no chance of resisting the states. Therefore, it is better for a cryptocurrency to try to coexist peacefully with the currencies of states and their banking system.

they coexist together now. the problem with some countries is that the central banks or the banks own the state not the other way round which is why there is no collapse that will happen. the government will still have their control back when they finalize their CBDC. cryptocurrency isn't losing though because it's still going to be adopted as well. it's the tax that is going to be their next target which could be terrifying of all.


3037  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Binance raised withdrawal fees again? on: April 09, 2021, 06:53:20 AM

when users in crypto learned that it was cheaper to send USDT in TRON than USDT - ERC20, they began using TRX20 USDT extensively that Binance felt they are missing a lot of profit and then adjust the fees. $1 isn't that high compare to ETH gas.
i didn't discover it was cheap to use the USDT of TRX until there was a thread about it.  Grin

it was totally biased decision to encourage the usage of their BUSD.

Why should they encourage the usage of USDT,
Have you read what I said? I think you have missed my post. I didn’t say they are encouraging USDT. I said they are encouraging the use of the Binance Chain stablecoin BUSD.
And the fee isn’t $0.20, it’s $1 per transaction which I think not a small amount considering the required fee needed for them.

there isn't a lot of projects yet on BSC that will make us go and use BUSD yet. i doubt there will be many. been around for a while but i don't even have a BSC wallet.

3038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will crypto sportsbook replace fiat sportsbook in the future? on: April 09, 2021, 06:05:18 AM
eventually, crypto sportsbook will be regulated. the exchanges today are not becoming very monitored by the IRS. there was a recent law I've watched on youtube with Robert Kiyosaki which you will have to report whether you trade BTC and if you check NO and then they find out they did. it's going to be considered a felony.
Seems kinda stupid though. It's like asking people if they trade stocks of various companies, they're basically just gathering info and I hardly doubt it's going to be passed through in the future. Even if it did, I hardly doubt it's going to last long.

I prefer crypto-gambling in sports betting over fiat sportsbook but thinking it would "replace" the latter, it's too much to expect.
Agree, a replacement is too big of a word, since technically it's uprooting the entire system of fiat sportsbook that the world has always experienced. If fiat were to disappear then it's a possibility, but that situation is also not something that could easily happen.

we can never know what will happen. the authority will always want to be the authority and like Kiyosaki said Al Capone wasn't prosecuted because of crimes they did but through the tax. if they are out to get us, they are going to get us.

and it's true. fiat sportsbook will still exist alongside with crypto sportsbook, probably in the form of stablecoin or the digital currency (CBDC) that they were developing.
it doesn't hurt much when you spend a stablecoin than a currency which value could be worth a lot soon.

the teachings of Muslims is to follow their prophet Muhammad to which he is a merchant. most if not all are actually following his steps which every corner in my country there are stalls owned by Muslims selling just about anything from CDs, cellphones, items of clothing and etc.

the history of the American Dream as far as i know dates back to the time where they redistribute lands in America to those who are willing to migrate and populate America the land of opportunity. Now it evolves just someone who become famous being a rockstar and living the dream.
3040  Economy / Economics / Re: Investment the way to economic stability on: April 08, 2021, 02:43:15 PM

you don't have to have a big house to be considered financially stable. you can be a minimalist as ever but still have the money that you won't have to worry about if anything happens to you or your son/daughter, you can assure yourself that you can give them a good education and health program.

just be good at whatever you have started before you get into investment. if you are a cook then be the best cook that you could ever be and serve your customer's order while you have an investment too. don't retire all because you have $1M. $1M is just a small amount to spend so don't tell anyone you have that amount. money can all be gone in just a day if one night someone robs you.  the important thing is your peace of mind and not worrying about anything and that can be an economic stability.
