This will be huge to make some noise before this 2021 will end. It could bring more awareness and investors as Google is one of the biggest company and internet giant industry. I think more adoption will come soon.
With the ban being lifted, i think this will create a huge community for bitcoin enthusiasts as it will be now easier and convenient to access bitcoin and its related information.

And having this giant company, if they can provide more authentic information into their clients, then scamming will be minimized and definitely, being bitcoin educated will make bitcoin adoption more possible.

As of the time of this thread creation, the Ehtereum price is $2,580, which shows a gain of 3.21%, as the Bitcoin price plumbed to $37 before recovering to above 38k at the moment. This indicates Ehtereum continued to rise in price over the last week when Bitcoin made a $42k stop.
As the Ethereum network prepare for another hard fork on the 5th of this month lots of analyse including myself think that we are heading for another ethereum bull market.

Eth just went over the 3000$ goal and is now pushing hard towards the 4000$ goal and we can expect in the next 5-10 days to reach it if the market continues to increase at this level. The hard fork did its job and triggered the market to go up. Bitcoin as well went over 44k we can see 50k really soon as well
Ethereum in its current price is $2,892 so probably we are already heading into a bull run not just for ethereum but even for bitcoin too.

I think the London hard fork has made ethereum to keep on growing following the footstep of bitcoin. If we will not experience any price correction or price decline, then probably we are mostly entering into a bull run stage.
3323  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin investment on: August 07, 2021, 10:08:53 PM
This is the time to invest while the price is still very low why because you and I believe BTC will rise to a value of 100k$ and will be higher in the future but I may be late because the previous days the price was only have 28k$-30k$, I really regret this.

I know right, how we were all over looking at bitcoin price thinking that it's too cost and then, boom one day, bitcoin is now worth more than gold.
But, will it be profitable for someone to invest in bitcoin especially one with small capital, it will just little profit. For example, bitcoin is worth $40k and I decided to invest $100, if I need to make 4x of that capital, I will need to wait a minimum of 4 or 5 years to achieve that and that will make bitcoin to be around $160k dollar, that's going to be a Rollercoaster ride  Grin
If we can wait for a while for bitcoin to dump again its price, then it will be a good timing to buy bitcoin. But with the current price, i think its too expensive yet to invest in bitcoin and the risk is ultimately high.

Bitcoin is really a profitable investment plus it has all the chances to make its price doubled in the following years but i suggest, never invest on such amount that you can't manage to lose. Maybe wait for another dump season and once bitcoin price will drop drastically, then buy bitcoin as much as you want.
3324  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is BTC still top1 on the cryptomarket? on: August 07, 2021, 09:34:51 PM
Bitcoin is number one because it was the first coin developed as a cryptocurrency and a recognized coin by the community too, it deserves the recognition as number one coin no questions  asked. Any other coin that came after bitcoin became known as an altcoin and because  of this bitcoin could not be buried in the haystack.
And besides this I should think it has the most money pumped into it.
And having it as a decentralized coin that creates no power for any entity group gives more people more motivated to use it because its the first decentralized cryptocurrency that gain the trust of the people.

Bitcoin is made to be a currency but since its not legally adopted to function as a currency so having it as an asset or investment has made mostly of the investors to experience the best profits more than they can experience from fiat alone.
3325  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Xiomi Portugal start accepting crypto on: August 07, 2021, 08:05:19 PM
what is being adopted by many companies that say they want to cooperate with bitcoin, including the Portuguese company Xiaomi, which is said to also want to cooperate with the crypto world, but this has not yet been realized will this be just an image or just looking for popularity maybe we as miners can only wait how the result of the process…and we hope that this will actually happen
true as you said, they said all of that just wanted to seek popularity, because in my opinion this news is not certain, they just planned it all, but if this news is true, maybe this will benefit both parties, the xiomi party will also get profit, and the bitcoin will be more and more popular again..
This news is seen to be more legit and not just a fake one. So this will create more positivity for bitcoin making its more popular and definitely will take a good price surge after this.

Things have been become better for bitcoin because after Amazon has decline the usage of bitcoin then here's another great news that will surely lift up bitcoin again. Its true when one door closes, the other window will probably open. So expect bitcoin to pump even more this time.
3326  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin Bullish At The Moment on: August 06, 2021, 10:18:57 PM
$45,000 is considered the strong resistance level. When Btc breaks through it, Btc might continue the upward momentum and have the chance to stay at $50,000 level.
Though I don't really consider Bitcoin entered the bearish market after the ATH decline because $30,000 is still high compared last year but absolutely low from the last ATH. So, I kinda something in between and I call it a little bullish.

 
Bitcoin is closely reaching to its strong resistance level at $45k with the current price of $42,599. I will call this a bullish one already since its never really fall into a real dump from the last few days. And looking with the good market condition, bitcoin will be heading into a more expensive price if positive news will come in the market and not just rumors that will only hype the coin. I think the market is easily affected with social media news and its one of the basis really why bitcoin will continue to be bullish.
3327  Economy / Economics / Re: Can blockchain replace the traditional banking system? on: August 06, 2021, 09:54:41 PM
Blockchain can replace traditional banking system surely and it must replace the old system also. Because Blockchain technology is a much better system than the one that we have been using for many years. It is much safer. It is harder to hack. And I believe that this will really happen also and Blockchain will start being used like this.
For now, i don't see any chances that blockchain will come to replace traditional banking system. Yes, its more reliable compared with the old one but what i am seeing is that blockchain can be integrated into the traditional one which will help to cope up the fast changing technology we have at the moment.

People will definitely choose what will be more convenient and useful for them but this is a long way process before realization. Who knows? Maybe in the future blockchain will replace the traditional one but for now, the chance is very slim.
3328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Most Bullish Altcoin of the moment on: August 06, 2021, 09:30:03 PM
The price of most altcoins are all depends on BTC so If we are bullish in any specific altcoin like for example X-coin has too many good updates and then btc crash hard most coins including this xcoins will become bearish so I think we have to remain bullish in both btc and altcoins despite this price fluctuates almost every day. 

As always, that trend has not been broken yet, gone are the days that bitcoin will dump and altcoins will pump, with the advent of the stablecoins, bitcoin and altcoins are now likely moving the same trend but it's always bitcoin who are leading the movement.
Exactly. Bitcoin and ethereum right now are definitely in the same path prices going upward. Bitcoin is now $42,577 and ethereum is $2,896. These two will make the whole crypto market greener and anytime, if bitcoin break its resistance level at $45k, then we might witness another bullish season before this year ends. The London fork for ethereum is also one of the reasons why ethereum is definitely in a full blast right now.
3329  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should you own at least one Bitcoin? on: August 05, 2021, 09:44:39 PM
For someone who can afford one Bitcoin, it won't be difficult. For us it becomes a very easy thing, that's the reason why I'm on this forum. In addition to seeking knowledge, there are always bonus points in it.
There really isn't a standard for how much one should have in Bitcoin, but don't let it all end unfulfilled and leave a few Satoshi.
So my advice, have what you can have even a little, because one day what you have (a little at the moment) can become something someone else wants.
A single bitcoin today has already a very expensive price so its very risky if you'll buy today without knowing the price might fall the following day. So its always best in to invest in bitcoin on the amount you can only afford to lose. After all, if you will make profits once your investment become successful, your bitcoin will definitely grow in number from time to time. Just an advice, once you get there, never sell all your bitcoins once the price is at its peak. Bitcoin will always be a good investment and will definitely be a good store of value and a good retirement when you reach your old age.
3330  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Never Trade On Emotions on: August 05, 2021, 09:14:25 PM
It is one of the golden rule that we fail to recognize and remember in investing, do not let your emotions take over your decision making. It will only lead you to regrettable choices which will soon be felt as you witness good things happening for bitcoin. Always make sure that it is your head that is processing or deciding for your investment may it be during a bear market or even during a bull market. Emotions tend to deceive you and highlight the current situation without even considering what may happen in the future that is why your head should always analyze all the possibilities before finally making a decision.
It is best to ignore all news about Bitcoin and Altcoins if you are trading in the cryptocurrency regularly instead just set goals and do not get affecting by what others say. I think it would be better if you are a regular trader that you do not post or read much on this forum to.
I think ignoring all the news and updates may not seem good. You still have to be aware of the current events so you will know if the market has all the chances to become bullish or might suddenly crash and turn sideways.

Controlling your emotions is a big challenge for all traders because your own emotions reflects who you are. Its already there since you enter this world. But if you want to be more successful in trading crypto, better to use your mind over heart. Your mind knows exactly what to do. And it always lead you to where your goal is.
 
3331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 05, 2021, 12:45:08 PM
I think they already found a new location, and hopefully it will be realize and the conference will resume soon.

PBA eyeing to continue season in Batangas as NCR shifts to ECQ
This might not be push through because there's a possibility that region 4A will be place to enhance community quarantine together with NCR on August 6 due to increasing number of infected of the virus though its not certain yet.

The official announcement will be made tomorrow based on the governor of Cavite. Batangas is part of region 4A thus if this happened then its not going to be the set location for the league unless there's an exception. Nevertheless its not official yet so lets see what will happen.

Sad but PBA needs to slow things out as this Delta variant is damaging more people, they need to consider the health of every people who works inside   together with their whole families.

Though it's been a long delay for this season but it's situations where league governors need to set things out, deeper analysis is what they needed not just the locations but more on the possible effect of this virus.

There's not assurance that even you already take the vaccines you are now safe, this new variants is far dangerous than the first covid19.
During the old days, creating a new vaccine to a new strain of virus really takes at least 3 years before they will be used in public.
Now the virus only took a year before it has been used possibly because of how fast it is to be transmitted from person to person. All vaccines have side effects and that is for sure. COVID Vaccines doesn't make you immune but you can get only mild symptoms and can recover quickly when you are infected by the virus which is already good.

Viruses are constantly mutating thus, we've seen new variants like the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and now the Delta. This Delta variant surely is affecting not only the old but there is a proof already that even those younger kids (around 1-3 yrs. old) can get affected by this virus too. On the other hand, I hope that this Delta variant and the ECQ will not stop what the PBA has started already. They are kinda like in the halfway or near halfway of the season already and this mustn't stopped. Relocating is a good idea Smiley

If the number of infections will increase, then for sure the government has no choice but to implement a lockdown again and we would not like it.
Though the PBA plan to resume the season in Batangas in a mini bubble set up, we still don't know when they'll resume as they have read the play first.

Cone is okay with the bubble, they might still win again as they won the first PBA bubble.

Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21
3333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 02, 2021, 07:26:24 PM
Think this way, If Nets gambled with Durant who missed 1 season due to serious injury, why can't other teams or the Clippers gamble for Leonard who does not suffer from a serious injury, his agent is right, they are just trying to maximize his contract as they know he deserved it.
I like the comparison. It's either they are getting greedy or just maximizing every contract while Kawhi is still young.
But here is my idea, if he feels like Clippers is home he may be trying to get a longer contract than what was offered to him.
We know Kawhi had been taking just short contracts from the Raptors then the Clippers.
Could the reason be like that? He feels better now at Los Angeles and will accept to be the face of their franchise rather than jumping from one team to another.
As long as they can offer him the right price.

As far as I know, Kawhi was born in Los Angeles, that's why he decided to move there from Toronto after winning a championship with them. So I would say that he is home, it's just as what you guys are saying, wanted to maximised his contract with the team. He is still after all the franchise player, he just got injured, but he remains healthy, it will be a different story for the Clippers. I wouldn't call it greedy, it just the potential to be playing with a good max contract that will set him up for the rest of his career.

That's true, and it's one of the main reasons why Kawhi chooses to play with the LA Clippers despite the big offer he will receive with the Raptors and the perks of living a superstar being the player with the biggest contribution to give the Raptors their first-ever championship. So if we analyze this carefully, there's a big possibility that he will stay with the Clippers with max contract, I think this is what Lebron did with the LA Lakers.
3334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: August 02, 2021, 07:07:58 PM
I would not be surprised now if Manny ended up as a slight underdog only in the fight, if I have a lot of extra money now, I would not hesitate to take that 2.47 and I'm pretty sure that would not be seen weeks from now. Manny keeps going and he seemed to be focused on his training since he does not talk about politics, he is just so cool, trying to impress the fans with his daily routine, this guy is so friendly, no wonder people are coming back to the gym to see him.
It is possible that the lines might come down in the coming weeks and if you are confident enough that Manny Pacquiao is going to win the fight then this is the best time to wage a bet, my take on the fight is that if it goes to the decision there is no way the judges are going to give the fight to Manny Pacquiao and we have seen these stupid decision making judges in the past and he needs to knock him out to be the winner and i doubt he has that same speed that could surprise Errol Spence.
Oops! There seems to be a line movement again, Pacman is quite up now with 2.60 odds per Sportsbet, I don't know what's happening but I think this is a great opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, with a price boost, you can get 2.76.. that extra 76 is good enough if you are really confident that Manny Pacquiao will win.

That weird, from 2.47 now to 2.60 odds, so a lot of movement and it seems that money on Spence right now three weeks before the fight. But that is still very far, money will be pouring a day before the fight so that's where we should look. But yes, with the recent line movement,  it's good to bet on Pacquiao right now at this odds.

It's not consistent, looks like there's not enough money being wagered yet as the betting is moving fast. The bigger bets coming from the sharps might come a week before the fight, they are just monitoring the movement now, and I'm pretty sure they'll put their bet once they find a great opportunity. With this odds movement, it's not anymore certain if Manny's odds will go up or go down minutes before the betting odds close.
3335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nesthy Petecio vs Irie Sena Olympic Gold Match on: August 02, 2021, 06:22:40 PM
I've been searching for the betting odds, finally, it's here.

However, I'm a bit disappointed because I was expecting that  Nesthy Petecio will be an underdog here, it turns out he is the favorite to win the gold.
I'm not sure not if I'll take the 1.32 odds, but if would decide, maybe I'll just put a bet for fun.

Maybe because he has beaten the world champion in the early rounds of the event, and her last fight is quite impressive he already fought two tallest fighters,s and even if Sena beat him several times, we are seeing a different Petecio here, the Philippines is on its way to win their second gold I'm congratulating Nesthy Petecio this early.

That's probably it, her journey is tougher so she is now the favorites. However, if she cannot knock out an opponent, we should watch out for the decision as her opponent came from the host country, if you know what I'm saying.

I hope the decision will not be affected because her opponent is playing in her home country. That's bad for the sport or this prestigious event if cheating is happening, and I think it will not happen as Japanese promoters unity than the competition. May the best boxer wins, I'm with the Philippine boxer, 100% support but not 100% in betting.

The Philippines lose because they did not play Ange Kouame, their naturalized player, I bet for the Philippines but unfortunately, they did not as competitive as they were when they beat Tunisia, of course, Ange Kouame was playing that time.

Kawhi just declined his player option.
https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1421948516260265989?s=20
Quote
Kawhi Leonard has declined his $36M player option for next season and becomes a free agent, per source. Now, the expectation is that Leonard will negotiate a new deal to stay with Clippers.
@ChrisBHaynes
 first on declining option.
What is his agent thinking? He ended the playoffs with an injury and yet they think Kawhi will get a better number?
He sure will not play for the Lakers because they will be in luxury tax if they take him. What team? How much? I thought he was home already.
Will he really leave PG13 after pulling him in Clippers? This gives more twist to what will happen to the trades.

Chances are, he's either trying to get the max contract and resign with the Clippers or he's looking to get another ring to a team that has potentials to get to the NBA finals. And we all know it's not going to be the Lakers or the Nets.
The Clippers wasn't able to advance in the finals since PG and Kawhi arrived in LA. There's a huge possiblity that Kawhi is sick of the Clippers system for not making to the finals in 2 straight years.
I'm not sure but that's just what I was thinking. I'm quite excited for Kawhi and CP3 decision.

I guess it would be fun If bookies put a betting lines about notable players team signing decisions during free agency lol.

His agent probably knows what they are doing, Kawhi is one of the best players in the NBA, that injury he suffered was huge but he can be healthy next season and if the Clippers will let him go, other teams might be interested in him and give him a max contract. What if Utah Jazz will sign him, I think that would make the Jazz a good playoff contender and a championship contender as well.

Kawhi has still the bargaining power in my opinion, yeah he did suffered from any injury, but I think a healthy Kawhi can bring any team a chance to win a championship and he proved it in Toronto. It just so happened that he got injured in the playoffs. So I think it's a good move on this part and the agent as they can re-negotiate a max deal or transfer to another team that has better option. KD just come from the worst injury of his career but was able to get a good deal with the Nets.

Think this way, If Nets gambled with Durant who missed 1 season due to serious injury, why can't other teams or the Clippers gamble for Leonard who does not suffer from a serious injury, his agent is right, they are just trying to maximize his contract as they know he deserved it.

The only good thing I can think of about these professional
 boxers is that they're lucky to be making tons of money out of their passion as a professional athlete.
While most regular people struggle to their day job even If it's against their passion just to put something in the table for their family.
But then again the risk of these contact sports are always high. It could either be a career ending injury or worse death. Well, If there's a huge amount of money in the line they're more than ready for it.
Also, lucky are those successful ones especially when they're offered with partnership from big business names.

And most of those figters/boxers are after to this opportunities, they are willing to take the risk even to the point of losing their lives or to forever take the damages in exchange of big money that awaits them once they've established their names inside this profession.

No doubt even to those beginners, they are all hoping that one day big event will take place and they can change the life of their love ones

using this venue if luck permits them.
There is no much to desire than gaining money at the same time popularity because their name will be listed in history and that is the main goal, making their name in popularity and their Income in which insignificantly high.

so Dead or alive they are risking everything for their dreams .

Gambling is risky, but there are only a few cases where a boxer was seriously ill because of boxing, if the organization will stop, I think it will cause a domino effect on other combat games which I don't think is possible, so boxing will stay and we have to understand that this is only for risk-takers and those who are capable enough to fight.
3340  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do you get your news about Crypto? on: August 01, 2021, 09:53:42 PM
With regards to news about crypto, I usually use Coingecko whenever I want to see an update on how the coins that I am currently eyeing and investing to is doing. I also get myself updated through bitcointalk wherein as I explore and look for a topic I can relate and share my thoughts with, I can easily get an idea on what's best to do with regards to the current situation. I find it very essential that staying updated about how is the market is currently doing because it can give you a hint or an idea of the best course of action with consideration to your current situation.
For me, I prefer to get my resources from cointelegraph or coindesk. But sometimes, if i want to be more particular with the topics i want to research, i simply enjoy reading the forum. So i get to know the thoughts of other members plus i get updated with the current news and events.

I think what's more important is we will never left behind with the current news because it's our own way too to be more knowledgeable so we can apply those new found information into trading, investing or even hodling coins with great potentials.
