There is nothing wrong with the network I guess, it's the one who send the money who is at wrong here since he put millions as a transaction fee, that is why it was mentioned in the OP if the whale is probably drunk or just supporting the miners community, but we never really know.

I think this is the first time I saw someone paying big fee compared to the amount sent, this is ridiculous, lucky day for the miners.

Maybe you can specify it more, gambling has different kinds, it could be games or sports, and when we say sports, it's very familiar to the name "sports betting". So why people should at least gamble once, my answer is very simple, so they will learn how to take a risk. When we learn how to take a risk, we will venture on investment which could make us successful financially as most of the people are just relying to their job, they want security so they are afraid on taking risk, so at least when we try to gamble, we might consider going out of our comfort zone and starting taking risk.

I agree with that, Nuggets is a well matched team for the Jazz, they both love to rotate the ball.
For Nuggets, Jokics could be their best scorer in the game, which I think he will really be tired when Gobert will defend him very well.
Gobert's job is very simple for the Jazz, just protect the paint and let his teammates scores as they have a lot of scorers ready to contribute.

This is the time that we can see Conley, Clarkson, and Mitchell to showcase their talent, and I trust them to succeed.



There is no doubt that Clarkson will get some minutes here, and it's his time to shine so teams will be going after him when his contract expires.
So I am still rooting for the Jazz as long as they will not face the 2 LA teams in the first round.

Huge? Not so huge man.

Manny is 41 years old while Golovkin is already 38 years old, a 3 years gap is not huge.
The real definition of huge age gap was the fight between, Manny vs Thurman (31 years old) and Manny vs Adrien Broner (30 years old).

And Manny both won his lat two fights against younger opponent.


He beat a younger fighter so he can beat Golovkin which is older than Thurman, but it's not about the age now, it's the size of Golovkin.

As long as there's still a law and order, that will not happen, in fact, I believe the crime will be lessen as our money can be trace in the blockchain.
If a kidnapper will demand for a ransom money, and if that is bitcoin, they will provide an address for bitcoin to be deposited and it's easy for the authorities to keep track of that money, and since everything is regulated, it will be hard for them to cash it out or sell it as that address could be mark as stolen funds or funds from criminal activities.

Jazz is one of my favorite teams in the NBA, I have high hopes on them to compete well in the playoffs, it was unfortunate that Bogdanovic would not be able to give his contribution, they need a good 3 point shooter, so I hope other players will step up to for Bogdanovic.

The effect of Bogdanovic out for the Jazz is not that big compared to LA out for spurs, so I would still bet on the Jazz here as they are very well playing as a team. Since there is no home court advantage in this series, I'll always consider betting the Jazz on whichever team they will play, without Bogdanovic which is a big contributor, I think they will be an underdog and I like that.

It's really difficult, but we if are talking of strict protocol, I think US are not good with that and it we have evidence proving that since they have the biggest number of cases almost 2 million people. That's why people are protesting because of that big numbers and yet they allow a big casino to re-open, while on the cases of  New Zealand, they have a very few cases with over a thousand only per record, and they have no new cases lately, so they decided to lift almost all the restrictions.

Agree, investor's confidence in crypto will certainly increase, with that, more money will flow in the market and that would help us to increase the adoption that would eventually decrease the manipulation in the market. We all like that so we need to agree with the regulation and let us not think it has no chance since crypto is growing with lots of businesses already adapting to it and that would already call the government attention to legalize crypto.

The spurs are over now, they can't win this very important games without LA, who will provide these average to the team?

I think we will see the Blazers in the coming playoffs.

People would not back the Spurs to win without LA as he is one of the most consistent points provider to the team.

I can feel based on that statement that there is a market manipulation, the public prediction usually are wrong, the same would be applied in sports if you are doing sports betting, as they say, always bet against the public and you'll win most of the time.

I notice that as well, but as for me, I am more focus on long-term investing so I am bullish and at the same time I can also make some profit every time the market is dump as usually I buy at dip and sell when the price bounce back, doing that simple strategy makes me profitable in overall.

That's a good suggestion too but it's up to OP.
IMO, putting a specific title on a certain news would also help us to monitor the thread for a specific news only, as long the discussion is on topic, I think it's not a problem, but then again, that's your initiative, you can make your own and just let the mods to decide on what they do.

personally, I like this kind of information thread than those general questions or topic that we have discuss in the past already and we are just getting redundant answers.

Sorry to butt in though I'm not ask, but I just give my opinion anyway.

Going back to the topic, yes, that is correct, for me, what is important is our children than and their future, so they should not start gambling while they are still a kid. Based on my personal experience, I have a kid who always plays for Mobile Legend and she ask some money to me to buy some "SKINS", so that might drive some kids to steal money if their parents won't give them as they want to remain competitive in the game and likes to have a good rank. 

ps. I am not a full time online gamer, so I am not so familiar with the terms.

For Ether investors, they can make a fortune if they will invest at the current price, imagine if you buy Ether now at $250 (rounded off), and that will increase to 36 times, then that will give you a lot of profit. Impossible? No, because Ether and other successful altcoins have increased already more than 100 times. For Bitcoin, it's already given, a $10,000 (rounded off again) now, we only need 15 times increase to reach $150,000, which again not impossible.

The only question now, is "WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN".

Manny is not as fast as he was in the past since he has already aged, but if you look at his recent fights where he won, you can see the maturity, he is not as aggressive as he was before but he is smarter now because his defense has improve a lot. He knows how to win a fight and that is the most important for any boxer.


There will be no heavy favorite in this fight as this is more like an even fight, like a Thurman vs Pacman fight.
We can take a look on his previous fight odds.

I'm sorry but I will disagree with that, for me, regulation will protect investors from investing in crypto, though it's pretty basic that everyone who are investing must have the knowledge but sometimes there are project that looks deceiving because they look legit, without regulation, they will be very confident with their scam activities.

The regulation will punish those who violate the law, especially the scammers of those, therefore it will reduce the scams as no one would commit a crime and end up to be in jail.


With regulation, there will be more businesses going to adopt with crypo and they will be the one to make an initiative to help spread the awareness on  the risk of crypto investing, and that would help people to understand the real status on crypto in terms of its risk. Regulation will help minimize the scams, that's for sure, but it will not eliminate the scams, and we always choose regulation as it would help majority of us.

As for me, I believe it will still be one of the big payday of Pacman once the game is on for the rematch.
Mayweather as an undefeated and one of the best boxer in the history of sports will still able to sell a fight, man, they know how to hype a fight, and based on personal experience, I've said many times in the past that I would not watch Mayweather's fight again as it's boring but I still end up watching it, for sure some people can relate to my experience, and just to prove my confidence on the fight, I'll bet with you that it's gonna be a big payday fight for both.

It's possible to buy the same outside the exchange, these are ICO or Initial Coin Offering  token, it's not the same with IEO which is what people are usually investing now. In the past, there are sites that sells ICO tokens as they partners or accredited by the developers of the project, and it's easy to verify as we can always check the smart contract since most of the tokens in the past were built in Ethereum platform.

Things have really change these days, ICO is not anymore selling, maybe some sold their ICO but usually those are the very reputable project that were manage by well-known people in the business industry, but for regular ICO, they struggle to get their tokens sold as people have already matured now.

Lastly, please don't get confuse with IEO and ICO, make more research prior to investing in crypto.

What fight are you referring, is it the fight against Mayweather? If that is exactly what you meant, then there's no doubt that Mayweather was the better fighter, his style made him undisputed in boxing though he wasn't really as entertaining like Manny Pacquiao. If there's a rematch between the two, Mayweather would still remain the favorite of the fight, despite being inactive for awhile now, that's unquestionable.


His age is not a big factor in this fight, Manny is not old at 41 years old while GGG is already 38 years old, just 3 years gap compared to Manny's last fight.

Putting money in the bank is not a form of investment to me, it's just a way of saving money to safeguard our future if we need something, the real venture of growing your money is when you invest it, and investing in casino is one way that will make you profitable.

Let's look at OP's journey so far, his BTC value in usd/php was almost doubled already and at the same time, he earn BTC although not that much, but there's a double positive effect since bitcoin market is quite bullish now.

I am not worried about bitcoin itself as its system has never been hack yet, what I am worried is on how the exchange will handle their business by making sure they will have the best security for hackers to fail every time they try. When an exchange is hack, it would result to a big panic especially if an exchange has a big volume like $100 million or more in just 24 hours, that's a huge amount of money if ever it will be hack and not only that, other exchange will also be affected as it will affect the reputation of the crypto market.

Obviously because the situation now is different, remember covid-19 already infected over 2 million people all over the world.


They have a contract, they have to follow that, that's what professionals do, otherwise, their future will be compromise in a sport that they dream to play with when they are still not part of the league, if the organizer of the league will say they can play, it's almost assured that they are doing all the measures to protect their players against the virus. It might not be as fun as before, but in the current time, security is the main priority.
