321  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did people buy bitcoin before Mt. Gox? on: February 28, 2024, 11:28:37 AM
The pizza bought with 10000 BTC which was the first bitcoin trade was bought directly between two people which are the buyer and the seller. There are people that you can meet on this forum or elsewhere that you can make such deal with and use a trusted escrow if both of you do not trust each other.

That was the best way to buy bitcoins back in the day, the problem right now is there are only a few people who are trusted to do those tasks which can be tricky because right now there are lots of transactions to process which we really need to have exchanges to be able to take the job conveniently without any difficulties. more likely what we need today is Decentralized exchanges instead of CEX that keep updating their rules because of the SEC involvement. But as long as we can freely buy bitcoins and keep them securely, we are still good and can make things easier when it comes to withdrawing them since we have a variety of choices to trade.
322  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would BTC ve further influence over the Fiats if we ain't safe with the bank on: February 27, 2024, 03:28:07 PM
It's impossible for Bitcoin to replace fiat, world Banks can not control crypto currencies because it's not owned to them, the fluctuation of Bitcoin price makes it difficult for fiat to takeover. Bitcoin is decentralized, it's trade p2p and fiat banks can't get a chance to manipulate it. Bitcoin is a store of value not like fiat currency. When economy is bad the currency reduces it's value but when you hold Bitcoin it adds more values to it, when people sell their Bitcoin values decrease and it makes more sense when you hold your bitcoin.

What we can do with bitcoins today is use them as one of our ways to keep our money securely without any involvement of banks or any other financial sectors where we are the only ones who are capable of withdrawing from it and preventing others from controlling our funds. This is the best thing you could do with bitcoins today and the investment opportunity gives us even more excitement and encouragement to buy bitcoins because of the stories that we heard from others when they bought bitcoins at low prices and now they are still living with the money they gained from their bitcoin investments.

If Gaballo sees this as a huge opportunity to make a name for himself, he will try his best and he will be motivated to fight Moloney at his very best condition. But if he won't change his boxing skills and let this chance slide, then his career in boxing will probably be over because no one has recovered from and back to his shape except a boxer who already established a name in the Industry. an unpopular boxer like them should have high aspirations to exert all their effort to win like Manny was in his prime, as we can see, most of these new boxers are all the same, they seem not to take this huge opportunity as a chance to train well and give the fans the best of themselves when they step inside the ring.

Yep, there is a lot of competition in the Western Conference standings, but I think the Lakers and Warriors will be fine if they finish the season where they are now in the standings. By the way, the results of last year's playoffs are a clear example that a team from the play-in tournament has a good chance to do well in the playoffs. I mean the Lakers, who made it to the Western Conference Finals.

If only they could have some players to stop Jokic and Murray, they would have not struggled and were beaten easily by the Nuggets. Let's see how the new rosters will help them against the Denver Nuggets this year since if they gonna reach the playoffs this time, they will face the Nuggets at some point unless the Nuggets go home early because other teams in the Western Conference are well prepared as well to beat them in the playoffs.
325  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Previous ATH achieve before bull? on: February 27, 2024, 01:22:58 PM
Most likely that would be the case because as we can see right now, the BTC price is not low it is already been increasing for the past few months since last year and when it reached another +$10k addition, you can tell it's a semi-bull run and then it will probably be followed up with another price increase this year since Bitcoin Halving is also happening this time where most investors anticipated and speculated for the price to further increase caused by this year's event. So in order to affirm another bull run, it should be increased by a huge amount from its past price which we witnessed back then when the price of bitcoins where already less than $20k but today it has already more than doubled that.
326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You will do in this situation? on: February 27, 2024, 12:57:03 PM

Right. It's entertainment purposes only. Have your fun, rest from hard work with gambling, it's perfect those purposes, but don't try to make your living from it. It's ridiculous. You don't try to make money from visiting theatres, do you?

Some people make it their source of living where they always fail since it's a game of probability and most of the time they won't be successful so they always get home with stress. Others also become addicted to it which makes them forget everything including their priority in life and this is the worst one since it will not only affect themselves but also affect their families as well. I see some guys who are like this and their wives are forced to work because they are not bringing enough money anymore since they spend it on their playing after work. It should not be like this and people should take his priority first before spending on any others that will benefit him.
327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please stop blaming "the government" for lack of Bitcoin mass payment adoption on: February 27, 2024, 12:15:21 PM
As of now, many countries let their citizen invest in Bitcoin but with caution because there are still some scammers who are convincing them to invest in their Ponzi Schemes and other scam projects. if only not for these people, we would be free and not get much attention from the government but because they always create some kind of problems that always involve money and huge numbers of victims, they put tight and complicated requirements just to create an account in our local exchanges which was not the case before back then.
328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul VS Ryan Bourland Cruiserweight 8 Rounds March 2 on: February 26, 2024, 04:33:58 PM
Is Jake losing his appeal in the boxing community that he is relegated his fight to undercard he used to be the main card in many of his fights, I have not heard of this guy Bourkland but he's coming from a fresh win from a real boxer and he was a two-time champion even though it's not a World title but still a good pick compared to other fighters Jake fought mostly MMA has been.

Obviously, this guy has run out of choices and he is now facing some declines regarding his view so he will just take some offers to stay on the top list. They used to be promoting their own show and now they are likely trying this new strategy so that they will be recognized by true boxing fans. this is just another market strategy because his last fight was not really good and few are interested in it. In this case, people will forcely watch them because they are looking forward to watching the main event and they don't have a choice but to watch Jake Paul's boring boxing skills before the main card bout.
329  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and people knowledge on: February 26, 2024, 03:53:07 PM
Of course, those people who were used to investing in traditional ways of investment or making money, don't have any idea how bitcoins work and if they want to know about it, you can just simply clear any misconceptions and let them know everything they need in order to prevent them from Ponzi Schemes that are using cryptocurrencies as their props. Many people thought at first that investing in bitcoins and investing on those high ROI scams are the same which makes them not trust bitcoins anymore because they have been deceived because of their ignorance. If only they had taken some time to equip themselves with proper knowledge before investing, they would have not fallen into such schemes.
330  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What are the challenges of developed nations nation? on: February 26, 2024, 03:14:34 PM
This problem has the easiest solution and it should be at its root where they need a just leader who will gonna improve their nation slowly but has high aspirations to do it so well just like the just leaders in the past. Where they managed to develop their countries with the help of their people of course. When the people see that their leaders are good and strictly prohibit any misbehaviors by those below them, they quickly follow his orders and easily make the people happy to serve him as well. Our country was about to change if only there were no more elections but it is sad that after our former president has done with his terms, the criminals are back on their actions in every corner of the country.
331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - February 24 on: February 26, 2024, 02:42:09 PM
Yes, it was truly a disappointment since tons of fellow filipino fans are really anticipating for some upset or becoming a champion but thats truly a sure defeat even just on looking in the earlier rounds.
You would really be able to see that Ancajas had some stamina problems later in 6th round as i have observed.  Even with that undercard fight which ended up on having that 1st round knockout. lol
Arent they prepared for such tough fight or really just that Jap fighters are strong now agaisnt Filipino fighters?

Surely, they were caught by surprise and they were knocked out by the Japanese easily because they didn't expect that they now have some crazy boxing skills and people saying that this is the Japanese Era of boxing where champions are not from the Philippines anymore. well, this is so true and with the high enthusiasm for boxing sports, they have improved a lot since then and they are now making history in the group along with their main star 2x Unified champion Naoya Inoue.
332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, what would you do? on: February 26, 2024, 02:14:20 PM
Appearing in public will attract countless questions and the media will manipulate whatever you say to them and use it for their own advantage if they are one of those hostile against bitcoins, then they will just simply ask you about Bitcoin's disadvantages and highlight it on their front page to cause confusions to the people who want and already investors of bitcoins. Therefore, staying anonymous is the best thing he can do and no matter what they try to manipulate their audiences regarding bitcoins, it does not have any impact since they are just speculating as well without any solid evidence.
333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 25, 2024, 12:39:25 PM
Today, they'll be hosting the red hot Celtics who are currently on a 7 win streak. In their last 3 games, it was all Boston, so pretty much they were dominated based on the trend. can they make a big change today with a big win?

It was a tough game for them and they could not handle the Celtics this time cause Jaylen Brown was once again red-hot on the court and led the Boston Celtics in score which led them to victory last night. Nothing new for the Celtics since they are number one overall in the league, The Knicks are an easy opponent for them because they simply know how to counter their rotations and their defense is not effective against the Celtics this time. And they will be against the 76ers next time, let's see if they can win it easily as well because if that's the case, then they chance to get to the NBA finals this year is quite high.
334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing on: February 25, 2024, 11:33:48 AM
We need to understand one thing that we should never trust any politician they don't do things without their own benefit. As per the statement I don't think is any sort of acceptance but rather a pure manipulative statement and I think we shouldn't be quick in judging or trusting any politicians as it's all the vote politics and they can do anything for votes.

Majority of government and politicians don't like Bitcoin and crypto, you can understand that from the atrocious regulations laid by Indan government.

This is true because in Politics, whoever has more people, they always supported by the politicians. the same happens to our countries where they always have some connections in some groups and they always scratch each other's back. Of course, this statement of Trump will have a huge impact on the crypto community in the US and they won't gonna just let this one go since it gives them hope for the better changes of the crypto holders out there. They may be hoping for insight into some regulations that make it easier for miners to operate in that country.  
335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: February 25, 2024, 11:04:22 AM
I believe you are correct that the psychology of drug addiction and gambling addiction differs, despite certain similarities. Drug addiction causes the person to become physiologically reliant on the substance, and when they stop using it, their body may experience withdrawal symptoms. However, in cases of gambling addiction, the individual is typically psychologically addicted on the pleasure and excitement of gambling, and they may not feel physical withdrawal symptoms when they quit. This can make it more challenging to cure gambling addiction because it is harder to persuade someone to give up something they enjoy.

I think Drug addiction is far worse and harder to cure and I can witness that since all of those who get to serve in prison due to their drug addiction whether they were users or pushers, when they get out, they back to where they were left and they ended up becoming worse than before. Unlike most of whom I know that were used to gambling, they have completely changed and don't engage in cock fighting anymore or some Lottos rather they just continue living their lives normally as the others. Drugs lead users to become crazy and there are lots of people who become crazy here in our community right now.
336  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's the biggest airdrop you've ever received? on: February 25, 2024, 10:35:48 AM
I joined Airdrop back then when the list was already huge and scammers already creating their own fake projects and promoting them via airdrops and bounties. Thankfully I was able to join a few legit Airdrops which gave me a decent amount of rewards way back then. But when it comes to such kinds of Airdrops, only few get to the top list on the crypto market, others are meant to fall after the hype they had when they first launched their project. If you can find one nowadays, consider yourself lucky because they rarely promote their project via Airdrops because of some trust issues that the scammers created.

Though I still received the payment this week maybe because my previous still valid but I need to update it as soon as possible because maybe next week it won't be possible anymore,

Thank you always, Boss,
338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] David Benavidez vs. Olexandr Gvozdyk interim WBC Championship on: February 23, 2024, 09:09:22 PM
Not an interesting fight but worthy opponent for Benavidez to further continue his domination until they no longer had a choice but to let him fight Canelo. But on the other hand, Canelo wants to avoid him until maybe they find some fault in his boxing skills. This is what happening in the boxing sport nowadays because when they lose to some worthy opponent and they are not that popular, they are meant to lose their popularity as well until they are given a chance to take a fight against another champion. that's why they are so afraid to lose nowadays unlike before when such things don't really matter as long as they fighting someone capable of beating them as well. They like to be challenged with stronger opponents in the past.
339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is exchange based tokens worth for hold? on: February 23, 2024, 08:30:11 PM
Interest in exchange tokens is no longer the same as before, at the stage of their formation. Exchange tokens gained popularity due to interesting and profitable offers, such actions were mainly part of marketing. Now exchanges have already reached their level, of all, I like bnb the most, for me it is more profitable to hold this particular cryptocurrency.

Only if other worthy new exchanges emerge and they also offer more benefits when you buy their tokens just like the other popular exchanges had offered their users back then. Not only do they need to work with their token but they also need to promote their exchanges in order to attract investors we see lots of them fail and they quickly just close it because they are unable to support their needs to maintain it. right now, if you are interested in investing in such tokens, consider looking for the way they promote their exchanges, if they don't do such thing, then it is not recommended to buy their token for they will fall eventually due to their other competitor's non-stop promotions.
340  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many times we will make the same mistake? - History repeats Again & Again! on: February 23, 2024, 07:53:33 PM
I wouldn't say mistake though, some people just don't really like the idea of risking in bitcoin, remember that bitcoin is a volatile investment, much more so than gold and real estate so it really does make a difference why some people still have some doubts. It's also worth noting that along the way in 10 years of hodling bitcoin, there's going to be times when you'll be tempted to sell because bitcoin despite it's volatile nature, growth can still be shown in years so you might not even be getting a full profit out of that in 10 years.

This was the main reason why there were only a few people who invested their money in bitcoins back then and it adds more people when they see the price increase each year but there are also some others that are still in doubt when it comes to investment until they see the price yet increase over and over again. Right now, not only some people who joined us but some huge companies as well that were in doubt back then but they are now one of us and others are joining as well especially this season where the price is expected to increase even more.
