Everyone is bullish. Longs are rising, shorts are falling. This makes me nervous. I believe in maximum pain theory, the idea that price tends to move where it will cause the most financial pain for the most traders. More and more it looks like a crash would bring maximum pain, not a rally. Lips sealed

I like when people are nervous when bitcoin is bullish, lol.

I'll say this. In 2016 there was much more skepticism and disbelief in the market, lots and lots of confident bears proclaiming impending doom.....and yet a bubble happened anyway. Now in 2020, now that there is widespread belief in a bubble, is it going to come?

I'm just saying when everyone predicts the same thing, it rarely comes true. We still might need to shake out some greedy bulls before this market can lift off.

Mike Novogratz said he would give up on BTC if it doesn't perform this year. Now that's the kind of skepticism I'm looking for! Sideways until 2021 please!

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.

Hey Juggy.  Just a suggestion.  Why don't you start a thread titled 'Random Gambling News' and post them in one thread.  I think lots of people would be interested in the news concerning gambling in these parts.  And the gambling section is already very cluttered with gambling news threads.
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.
3303  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to $150K and Ether to $9K on: June 08, 2020, 11:32:55 PM
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".
3304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao Might Fight Golovkin on: June 08, 2020, 11:05:45 PM
...

If this fight happen, who is your bet?

Both professional boxer.
Both absolutely still an explosive boxer.
Both last fight won.
How about you consider that Manny Pacquiao is the only 8 world division champion? What I'm afraid for Pacquiao is his speed, his last fight I notice that he is not speed as he was 3 to 4 years ago maybe that's one of factor to consider also but it's middleweight and triple G is not that quick also in the ring, all he got is a power punches which I think Pacquiao could easily dodge and hold, he fought Thurman which is a lot taller than him, triple G is thicker in body size so we'll really see if this happens.
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.


It would be hard to say for now and I wonder who's odd will favor. Cheesy
They both in not ideal age for boxing, that's what I think so I'm just basing my favor for who has the most experience in boxing, most number of main event fights ( handling pressure from crowd ) Still Manny Pacquiao for me.
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.

3305  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto regulations still have a chance? on: June 08, 2020, 10:39:54 PM
Many people belief that the only solution crypto space needed is regulations, what will this solve? The biggest crypto problem is scammers, how can regulations cure this disease? Because regulations can only work on centralized exchanges and projects, what do you think? Drop your thoughts and let's hear you out?
I think only regulations can stop cryptocurrency dump because scammers can announce only fake projects. Regulations are needed everywhere in our universe. Some regulations should be fixed from blockchain. If new projects choose this blockchain, they have to follow these rules like they can't increase or release any amount of tokens they want and coin should have maximum supply.

If you think that the government and their rules will save you from being scammed you must be living in a different world.
Regulations aren't needed and won't change much. They will reduce the number of scams but only those who are not cunning and daring enough.
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.

It's not the scammers that are the biggest problem in crypto but the people who grew up thinking due diligence is not important because there's a government official's shoulder to cry on.

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.
3306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao Might Fight Golovkin on: June 08, 2020, 10:42:18 AM
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.
We're not sure about that Wink. For sure his charisma to the audience is decreasing, because like what you've said, he doesn't have a fight for quite a long time. While on the other hand, Manny keeps on building his legacy which ables him to attracts more supporters. But to be honest, if they will have a rematch in the future I'm still not sure whether Manny can take his revenge. Mayweather's Shoulder Roll seems impenetrable.


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.
3307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can the token of an ICO be purchased outside the Exchange? on: June 08, 2020, 09:39:35 AM
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.
3308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao Might Fight Golovkin on: June 08, 2020, 08:43:52 AM
I love to see Manny back on the ring but considering his age gap for GGG, I'm not really sure he will win.
With his current position as a senator in our country, he is probably out in good shape as a boxer and that could bring him a lesser chance to win for another fight especially when we are talking about fighting with big names in boxing just like GGG.  
Both of them are having an impressive fight. If they'll have a chance to face each other, of course, I will still put my bet to Manny.
So do I, with the chance to see Pacman fighting again, much bigger name / opponent placing bets on him, also serves as showing support.
I will be glad to give him this credit since he really brings pride to the country and this sport.
With his age and with his busy schedule, coming up to this fight means more complex preparations, additional sparring drills, and lengthy
trainings.
He still has everything, the speed, strength and stamina. He just needs to focus on this fight because age is just a number.

If he is not Manny Pacquiao I guess I will vote for Golovkin but It's Pacquiao this man has done amazing things in the past and the only one boxer in the world who has the 8th Division Championship. Absolutely, My bet is for Pacquiao. The opponent is younger and Pacquiao is the one who adjusted in these weights divisions. Yeah, I have some uncertainty but it does not matter All in for Pacquiao.  Cheesy

But remember mate that Manny lose one of His fight because He is the one who adjusted so there are some things that we might considering before favoring Pacquiao in this fight.
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.

Yeah we already seen His skills and ability but with His age?i maybe neutral un this Event.

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.

... Better if we put money in the bank  Cheesy

You mean, better than putting money in the bank? Sure, the profit in a casino bankroll investment is not huge, but it is still better than the classic savings in traditional banks.


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.
3310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Future Prediction Because of Hacking/Scamming on: June 07, 2020, 11:04:50 AM
We don't need to worry about this hacking event that it brings into the possibility that we are in the shortage of Bitcoin supply in the future because it never happens. It is because those Bitcoins that have been hacked will be getting back to the market and know that scammers will make use of it rather than throwing it in the garbage.
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.
3311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience? on: June 06, 2020, 11:31:20 AM
For sure, without full stadiums and fans it will not be the same.
Obviously because the situation now is different, remember covid-19 already infected over 2 million people all over the world.

But here we talk about professionals, they will play no matter what. With fans or without, on rain or snow, angry fans or peace, they will give their best, that makes them professionals! For sure some players like to have fans, but I am sure that some players hate it, all in all the quiet peace on the stadium will help some players with their concentration.
I will join here with some members who say that bad team will lose wherever they play, and good time will try to give their best in every game, home or away it's not matter.

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.
3312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Forget bounties and Airdrops on: June 06, 2020, 10:57:54 AM
The biggest money making slot in crypto space is to be

1. a developer
2. build crypto wallets for new projects
3. find bugs in the system of many new projects

yes some paid for security breaching and all that stuff, rendering professional services is the best way to make money in crypto space now

Of course, but only few have this kind of technical skills, so when the demand is high, they will surely make good money, well, I wish I have that kind of skills but I am just an ordinary crypto enthusiast with simple skills which is to just analyze the market, invest and trade.

Majority of us here will work being a bounty hunter as that kind of job is easy, it does not require a lot of skills to work, but unfortunately the bounty campaigns now are not giving good reward unlike in the past, but I'm still hoping the glory days of bitcoin will come back.
3313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Future Prediction Because of Hacking/Scamming on: June 06, 2020, 09:13:33 AM
Things have change nowadays, we already have a lot of exchange with great volume, so even if one of the biggest exchange will be hack, the market will still continue, of course it's normal that we will see a dump as those FUDDERS will eventually do their thing to cause more panic, but things are just temporary.

Gone are the days that we only have Mt. Gox as the biggest exchange, now we have a lot to cater traders once one exchange is gone.

We can see the exchanges ranking here - https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/... and we can see how their volume are being diversified.
As you can see in the list, Binance has the biggest volume if this exchange will be hack and will not recover anymore, expect that other exchanges are ready to facilitate the traders.
3314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto regulations still have a chance? on: June 05, 2020, 01:56:27 PM
I also believe that the solution for massive adoption is the crypto regulation, when the market is regulated, people will feel the security, that is why the decentralized system cannot beat the centralized system since we have the government that will implement and monitor the law.
Decentralized system gives full freedom but it's very risky, and not a lot of people are high risk takers.

Maybe there will be manipulation but more from the government, so we need to vote wisely on who will govern us.

Crypto was build as a decentralized system but it can't prosper without the help and support of the government, this is a revolutionary technology that requires the support of the government to succeed.
3315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao Might Fight Golovkin on: June 05, 2020, 01:07:17 PM
Manny Pacquiao is one of the kind, he is already 41 years but he can still beat fighters at their prime.
I think this is a good fight, GGV is 38 years old but still an explosive fighter, I think if this fight happen, it's gonna be an explosive fight, both fighters will be going forward to knock each other.

Manny is going to make history again if he win in this fight, he will be the only 9 division champion in boxing,

I'm wonder who is the favorite between the two based on the betting odds.
3316  Economy / Speculation / Re: Continue to Hold your bitcoin on: June 05, 2020, 12:20:38 PM
Bitcoin is the best coin in the market right now and it's the best investment in the future, as for me, I will continue to hold because I believe that massive adoption will happen in the long run.

The supply of bitcoin has recently hit a new low for the year, this means there are fewer and fewer people selling bitcoin in the market.

This is how I set my mindset for my investment, the supply is fix but it could decrease, either people losing their access and big investors will hold their coins and wait until the demand will increase, and since bitcoin's popularity now is growing, that adoption that we are all hoping will certainly happen.

The longer we hold the better, bitcoin might be a risky asset and thus we call ourselves big risk takers here but we are after of a big reward that hopefully we will be able to achieve in the future.
3317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What casinos have forums? on: June 04, 2020, 12:11:20 PM
If you have more time you can check all the casinos that has an ANN thread in the forum, you can see it in this section.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0

Then, read their ANN thread, if you like the casino you can search their forum, if they added a link in the ANN thread, it would be easier to find, but you can always use google if it's not listed, also I think not all gambling sites here has a forum as some are still starting, and their ANN thread would be enough to entertain queries from gamblers.

That's good, at least those teams who are below in the top 8 ranking still have a chance qualify in the playoffs.
Now that they have finalized the format of the game, maybe next time we will know when the NBA will resume, right?

I believe we are already close in witnessing the comeback of the NBA based on the updates they have recently published.

Is this fight still going ahead? Just six weeks away, don't see them turning down the $ from a live gate.

There is no confirm date yet, but according to  this article, the fight is expected to happen in July 18, 2020.

from the article.

Quote
The date and location of the bout has not officially been confirmed yet and was expected to be held at the MGM Grand again on July 18.

We like to speculate here since we really like to see this fight soon, but it's possible for them to schedule the fight soon but without audience, also there are rumors that the fight will be held outside the US where Corona Virus is already controlled.
