3401  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Michael Saylor buy the bitcoin.Bitcoin prices are likely to rise. on: September 14, 2021, 12:11:11 PM
Bitcoin is a coin that has made it very popular all over the world. Bitcoin's donation I saw is not falling below 45 thousand but it is moving towards further improvement. I was hovering around 47,000 in the middle of the day and now the price is expected to rise further because rich people like Elon Musk are buying bitcoin.
One of them is Michael Saylor.
I saw from some news that Michael Saylor will stop buying Bitcoin but it is not
MicroStrategy bought an additional 5,050 bitcoins for $ 242.9 million at an average price of $ 48,099 per bitcoin.
Michael Saylor tweeted this on Twitter yesterday.

Why thinking about automatic pump when they do something? Maybe it can create fud but be careful on what you are doing since we might see a bull trap since these kind of news use by fudders temporary or maybe we can say a short term hype so its good not to take those things seriously unless we can see that the bull run is little bit effecting and those made by saylor or any whales is another additives on the ongoing pump.

That's always the case for every team that if they fall short on this current season, they always have the next season. But it is likely that there will be another batch of those players that are about to receive offers from the B League just as the others have already taken the offers. Well in this case, that's just my anticipation since a lot of news did came with that.
The season is long, they'll have a conference and it's easier for them to bounce back as every conference means another opportunity to be in the PBA finals. This conference is probably an ALL FILIPINO CUP because there's no import, so maybe after this, it will still be the same set up as we are still in the pandemic and most likely new conference is still in a bubble format.
Yes, it might still be the same setup but I think as the league struggles with a bubble setup, when the government starts to lift this quarantine setup, the PBA is likely to be in the good setup again. I think they'll now allow fans to go to Araneta or any stadium that they prefer but as always with protocols being followed.

I'm not sure about that, the government has no effective measures on reducing the number of people infected aside from lockdown, and when we say lock down, that would result in no games for PBA or if the IATF will allow, it will be again in bubble set up, the question is, can the PBA continue to run the business when they are losing money?
The infected number won't decrease at the soonest until we've achieved herd immunity. There's the delta variant but as long as many of the upcoming cases will be mild and not severe, I think that it will be the time the cases will be lowered. I'm also looking at the daily cases and it's too much because of the delta variant and just as the others opinion, I'm starting not to believe the numbers. But the IATF if PBA will allow audiences again, they have to implement the 'no vaccine, no entry' policy. This is hard for those fans that are not yet vaccinated and we don't know if they'll take the vaccine just for the sake of it because many people are still not yet confident how effective the vaccines are.

Until many believes that vaccine is a poison for them we will not get the herd immunity which is target by the government hopefully people will realize that vaccine is really safe as this technology is not new many vaccine is already created to battle against those past virus which create a pandemic so its really not good to listen those hoax spreading over the net so that we can experience to get back if not at normal state at minimal risk.

But I don't  think PBA will implement that no vaccine no entry for fans since it will cost a lot of money for them to ignore ticket buyers with no vaccine so maybe we can't see those things happening, the main key here is hopefully all will trust science,the experts,governments and the person who already experience the virus then recommend the vaccine so that we can see those upcoming games to roll out without problem or any other not related to this.
3403  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] Fake Elon Musk Giveaway Scheme on: September 13, 2021, 01:31:48 PM
It's one of the schemes, a tactic that is often done by fraudsters to find prey, such tricks are quite easy to raise money in the fastest time.

I've seen that kind of thing happen a lot lately.
Example:

Elon Musk impersonators have stolen more than $2 million in cryptocurrency since October


@Elon Musk, never did anything like this, it was done by scammers to convince everyone, now only people will think that kind of thing is a lie, never send your crypto/money in any form, the risk can lose everything you own.

Just wondering on why there are people easily believe on such things knowing how shady the giveaway is and we can use google or the search bar of twitter if we want to verify the real Elon twitter handle but unfortunaly many newbie got mistake to do this since most of their victims always think that they can earn big in  return. As you said we really need to be aware and don't send our Crypto to anyone especially those who open up a giveaway then offer to give a huge return if we deposit some amount unto their wallet since its a big scam.
3404  Economy / Economics / Re: Boost of a countries economy on: September 13, 2021, 10:48:22 AM
With what you think currently, Crypto currency is one of the major things I think, that has contributed greatly to the growth of a country economy.
It will be totally improper for a country to channel all of its or their sources of income in one direction,the government kicking against crypto currencyus not right and fair from my own perception.

Diversification of economy by not focusing mainly on one major source of income boost and increase the economy to a large extent, as well limiting the losses....in a country tourism, technology, Agriculture and Sports mainly football will grow and boost an economy vastly.....why some Countries suffered during the Covid 19 pandemic is all because they focused and operated in one section to generate income, so boosting of an economy can also be achieved in different ways including crypto currency.

It wouldn't be bad idea if Y'all can share your thoughts and ideas about this from your own point of view.

If there's no bear market season in crypto then price will always goes up then I will agree with you that crypto will be a great boost to the economy but this is not quite possible for now since we have huge drop which is also happening and that is currently what we are experiencing now, so Imagine on what will happen to the country which is building up when they buy at wrong time so for sure they will struggle and might suffer from heavy lose right?. Provably crypto is not included in the option of government to recover back from the current crisis since for now they are taking it as risky investment hopefully by the demand and adoption we can change the perspective of all towards crypto.
3405  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you scared? on: September 11, 2021, 10:56:01 PM
Bitcoin plummeted again on September 7 2021.BTC dropped by 54.7% on March 12 last year, by 12.54% on September 3 last year, and by 29.99% on May 19 this year. And 18.65% on September 7.
There were four reasons for the fall on September 7th:
1,The fall in US stocks caused Bitcoin to fall at the same time.
2,Singapore regulation.
3, SEC wants to sue coinbase.
4,It is related to El Salvador
Are you scared?Is there any hope for the future?
If about bitcoin, i think only matter of time until bull run come and maybe can close to last peak again. For holding big coins, usually i am not scared because what i see about bitcoin price since i first jumped into crypto, already get multiplied a lot. That is why i never lose my hope for bitcoin especially more event that come following with next halving in only a years again.

People need to realize that bitcoin is strong crypto so they should never get afraid if dump will came and its pretty normal since correction always happen in the market that's why they shouldn't dump if market crash happen but instead they should accumulate to recover back and also to earn huge when bull run came. Also the only thing we trust are the top coins and never believe on the shit who always said about hold for long future since this is the word they used to hype up their project and scam their investors.
3406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: September 11, 2021, 09:59:48 PM
So the risk is greater for him in this fight as compare to Casimero because he is the one going to prove a point like shutting down the mouth of Casimero for good and take his belt and then go after Donaire next.
He is betting his belt as well as this is going to be a unification match, Casimero is not on the top, so the pressure is not on him, however, since Casimero wants to be successful, he would always think of winning just like every boxer who wants to be the most successful in their division.
Casimero though he talks a lot but he is not all talk, the way he fights in the ring, you can see his aggressiveness, so he is really willing to give a good fight to the fans, that's why fans admired him.

Well, here Casimero has nothing to lose right. But Inoue has his belt at stake. So Casimero can do all the shit-talking he wants just to provoke Inoue. Also as Inoue is the champion, the pressure is more on him than on Casimero. I hope the pressure does not get the better of him because Casimero will play kind of tension-free and with him playing like there is nothing to lose, he will have the upper hand in the fight.

Inoue face so many champions and defeat them by K.O so I think he's not pressured to fight Casimero but I think the right word to be used is prepared since for sure he will study how Casimero play in the ring. This is the toughest fight of Casimero knowing Inoue is flashy and powerful opponent so if he can defeat this monster then this is a huge milestone of his career and provably next we can see Donaire vs Casimero if he win this fight.
3407  Economy / Economics / Re: El Salvador Bitcoin payment option on: September 11, 2021, 11:39:30 AM
some citizens who protest about the legality of bitcoin in El Salvador just think bitcoin is not safe and is mandatory, in fact the government of El Salvador frees its citizens to use Bitcoin or not.  the president of el salvador knows very well that not all of his citizens will like bitcoin so he doesn't tighten the rules about payments via bitcoin there.
That would change though as time goes by and it's a pretty normal for bitcoin to be used as a medium of payment for any type of transactions, the people will go easy on it. This is a good thing because it works the same with the goal of bitcoin which is the long-term.

For sure we also think the same when we first heard about bitcoin but as you said there their point of view to bitcoin will be changed once they see it rolling in their country, I understand that there's doubt about it as a scam knowing that there are so many ponzi schemes using bitcoin name to scam people and many people correlate  bitcoin as scam that's why its not surprising to see this but once they see how bitcoin can make there life easy for sure we can see those doubters use bitcoin.
3408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 11, 2021, 10:28:30 AM
Terraferma's lucky run is over.

They suffered their 2nd defeat after the win streak and this time against the North Port.
A 20 points blowout win by the North Port and Tiongson only manage to score 9 points.

84-104 was the score.

Maybe they will start losing because they are already checked and good teams know already how to beat them. Maybe the coach will change their strategy, they have more players that are capable of contributing not only Tiongson. Meanwhile, the last game is happening now, Blackwater vs Phoenix, it's a close game so far, will this be the game that Blackwater will finally win?

Its hard to say that they will start losing since they broke there streak and maybe that game is not their day that's why we see how Northport bail them out and take the win maybe we can say this after they lose again on their next game since for sure it will lower down their confidence especially if they face more stronger team which is at the top of the standings these season.
3409  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔥Sportbook and Casino: BITSLER > $10,000 DAILY Wagering contest < on: September 10, 2021, 11:29:59 PM
Hence, why I gave the example from someone who would have some chance to win a huge amount and then lose it all, not a rich guy normally, a poor person that deposited very little, got lucky and won a lot, and either withdrawn or kept gambling and lost. Would that guy still get free money even though he doesn't gamble?
That's why I said it was ‘reasonable’. Inactive gamblers shouldn't receive the bonus all the time. Big or small depositor doesn't matter. If a gambler stay active, regular place bets and makes a good wager then he/she should receive the bonuses. I have good wager in Bitsler but I was inactive since last few months. And I'm not dissatisfied as I haven't received the bonus.

Well there's nothing to discuss this as the word active itself makes a gambler deserves to the bonuses what a casino to give to their gamblers, and its so unfair for active gamblers that inactive will receive that to and hence they win a huge amount on the game. And also as you said other gambler who's inactive in the platform would understand on why they didn't receive the bonus since activity really matter on any casino where we go.
3410  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How does one start on crypto? on: September 10, 2021, 01:52:46 PM
You can start earning with crypto by doing airdrop.
Airdrop is completing simple social tasks to earn some amount of crypto coins allocated for people who participated in doing that same tasks.
You can learn more with Google.

Simple yet sometimes risky so be careful on inputting your wallet address on the form since sometimes newbies will always make mistake on putting their private key instead of writing their wallet address on the form and also there are scams which ask some deposit so that you can earn more drops. But we can really start on this and one thing we should remember that legit airdrop will not ask us anything and also never do any KYC since they might use our identity for scamming.
3411  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Heading to $70,000 on: September 10, 2021, 12:02:28 PM
the way bitcoin have retained it stand around 50k is a momentum signal to the next price target and with this September being a viable month for cryptocurrency as bitcoin become a legal tender of a country El Salvador which is the first in history since bitcoin creation over a decade ago.

I predict a $70,000 bitcoin price before the end of this month of September.

A huge drop of 7.29 % on the last 7 days I don't think it's on target for $70k, why hurry there are no signals that say Bitcoin could land $70k this month, El Salvador is not contributing to the hype or pump the market, the most that the price could get is $60k and we should be happy at that because another all-time by then is within reach.
Well maybe the news about El Salvador didn't affect to create hype but what good thing happened there is bitcoin already got strong foundation as it was already supported by government on one part of the world, for now we can't see any movement but for sure this will add the fuel of adoption in future so for sure we can see a bigger effect on it once other country will also adopt bitcoin to.
3412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 10, 2021, 10:40:10 AM

IMO, if I'm the team owner, I would rather move him for a lesser value than seeing him struggle in a team because he doesn't want to play anymore, I mean his heart is not anymore in the team, so there's no way the team will succeed, and despite his talent, he could only become a liability of the team as he will not be as motivated as he was before.

But same sentiment with the post you just quoted, it's business and Sixers management is not willing to let him go without the same value they demand a lot for him, I just read an article that Cavs and Wolves are both interested but don't have that capabilities to provide the demand coming from Sixers management.

Even they are showing such interest without giving what being ask from them, there's no deal that will happen.

And like you, I would rather see him go with lesser value, and train players that will replace him, than keep him inside the team without any interest  giving help, it's worthless.

But at least they showed their interest, and with the number of offers, 76ers could potentially review the offers and will get the best among the teams that made an offer even if it's lower than what they are expecting. Having Ben Simmons on the team could be detrimental to the future of the team if they are not playing on the same page, the good relationship is very important to maintain, for his teammates and the team and it looks like it's not what is happening now.

Ben isn't going to be as detrimental as playing another point guard.  Anyone they get in return will.lower the technical quality.  The kid had a bad series for sure but cmon.  He isn't throwing in the towel.  You don't know the ins and outs of the dynamics.  Who is going to play point for Philly that will make them better without Ben?  Not much to go on.

I think what his saying is that if by chance Ben is still in the Sixers uniform this season, he may want to sit it out and doesn't want to play. Or if he plays, we won't see him pushing himself 100% as he had already a bad relationships with the management and players as well. I remember reading news that he is not answering any calls from the players including Joel. So I interpret it as animosity between Ben and his team mates already and it will not result to a good chemistry and locker room huddle.

He ain't sitting out.  Dude has  $33 million owed to him this year.  Mark my words if he is on the roster he will be on the 15 person roster.  I will take any bet on that one right there.  I get the point.  But this isn't old.  Kobe and Shaq "didn't get along".  Long history of teammates not getting along but when it's court time its time to go.

That's why they ask to much in return and maybe they didn't want to trade him literally so expect that no team will accept there huge asking in returns so maybe we can see him play on Sixers this season. This drama still un ended and Sixers got the limelight thru this issue for sure many fans are now monitoring on how this drama end up between them. I don't know if Simmons will be at his 100% if he will not be traded to other team so maybe we can expect that he will not get any huge minutes the same as before if he will remain on his current team.
3413  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you scared? on: September 09, 2021, 11:36:40 PM
I am not surprised at all by seeing this dump of little decrease in price. Smiley Because I have seen when btc went from $20k to $3k. This dump is really xD if I compare with the 2017-2018 dump. So just think it is normal in crypto and don't panic also don't invest in shit coins. Because it's very sure Bitcoin will recover and rise more sooner or later but the max shit coins can not recover if they dump by following the trend of bitcoin.
normal day in crypto office to see the fall even more wild than the previous one ... -50% it was a normal day .. that is why crypto labeled as a high risk investment.. you can never predict really sure on how tomorrow could be brighter or even darker to see the market bear trends formed or vice versa.

manage you risk that is the key .
This is what newbies need to understand that they cannot expect to much on it about cryptocurrency, we need to research and practice on how to execute our plans towards investing on it also we need to learn on how to manage the risk as you said so that we cannot encounter heavy lose for a single movement of the market also we can recover back together if the bitcoin price recover.

But what's really cool on the current happening these year Bitcoin is stronger ever than before.

Fake airdrop scamming methods is no rampant on twitter or even it had ads on facebook, they ride with the current trend and now they used Solana since this one is trend due to the price pump accumulated then it gather more attention due to what's happening on it these days. Hopefully their supporters, token holders and newbie will not fall on this always verify on what they are doing since giving to much information especially our seedphrase or any information which can give them access to our wallet is a huge red flag so hopefully people will always remember that.
3415  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: yesterday's drop in prices, was it natural or man made? on: September 09, 2021, 02:43:32 PM
Of course it's a man made, there's no way that it would change without automatically or probably you would be thinking about bots? there's a possibility the market do it's correction. Many people think it's bad because the price crash but in reality correction is a natural thing and healthy to the market.

Fuds spreading all over and it add up to fuel up those panic sellers to sell what they have for afraid losing more without even thinking that bitcoin will bounce back after the storm, Actually its proven for so many times that correction happen so I think this should be a indicator for other who always get panic for the movement to be calm if there's something like this will come again in future and realize that they are the one only losing if they drop immediately once they already feel the dump is coming.
3416  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲 Dice on BTC in Telegram on: September 09, 2021, 01:02:42 PM
Is this project still active? May I ask about how good this project? I know that most of the gambling sites are mobile compatible but this is telegram compatible I don't know much about code but how can we verify the fairness of the game. Does anyone played on this dice game already and have you successfully withdraw money out of it?

The telegram bot is still active and I can still play using my old balance that I leave there long time ago from there faucet. I play on this dice bot long time ago during bounty  season 2019. I suggest to avoid this kind of game because you can't guarantee fairness on every bet unlike the typical dice site like primedice and bitsler. The owner can easily runaway no string attached because telegram can easily be replace.

The bot owner can manipulate the results so its really better to avoid any such thing since we cannot sue them up if there's a trouble we might encounter in future, so its good to play on bigger casino since which have a thread for long time here since this can give us little guarantee that they are fair and honest running a quality business here. I wonder if there are gamblers who keep playing at that telegram bots knowing the reputation of that is not totally good or maybe we can say shady.
3417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 09, 2021, 12:11:19 PM
Dame-Ben pairing could work for Blazers to remain a playoff contender team but I doubt they will go beyond what Dame-CJ reached so far. I also think it's a downgrade for Portland if the trade is just 1-1. Blazers has to demand one more player as CJ is a more complete player than Ben.

Exactly, that's why the trade doesn't look good for Portland, might be better to stick with Dame-CJ, let them remain healthy and make adjustments along the way.

So Ben doesn't have any teams, Cleveland will be a good fit, but it will take a lot of players from Cavs to be ship out to Sixers just to be able to get Ben, it will be another overhaul of the team.

Well in some other case maybe they need to stick on different phase and for sure Ben can change the game style of portland since knowing that tandem didn't really work so maybe its good to try if Lillard and Simmons will be a perfect blend together. But I don't thin Simmons will go play there as he already show interest on which team he will go play and maybe they will agree on where Simmons want to play. Although its hard to predict about this situation so maybe the only thing we can do is to wait for further updates about this drama.
3418  Economy / Economics / Re: El Salvador Bitcoin payment option on: September 08, 2021, 11:59:15 PM
There were some videos on the internet that shows you get to pay bitcoin as an option in El Salvador, they're not enforcing it that everyone should buy bitcoin to buy goods.
It's true that merchants and buyers can freely choose what they're up to with what they want to buy. This is really the development that should be welcomed by their people but it's also expected that not everyone is going to welcome this development as there are some protests that happens there because of this.

Maybe those people who protest against it doesn't understand that they didn't force to use this, also for sure there are agendas on why those protest formed thats why its really good to know the real situation before taking action towards this. And good thing merchants is now following since for this the citizens who use bitcoin could really feel the effect of adoption in there country and this could increase the number of users on that country.
3419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: September 08, 2021, 11:13:49 PM
I would love to see Inoue taking on against Casimero, not just because of the hype that Casimero brought to make their fight happen but because they of equal footing i guess. And if this fight happens, there would be a KO to be expected. I think Donaire is just too old and slow compared to Inoue nor Casimero.
We already have seen the match of Inoue and Donaire and now that there's another challenger which seems to be good also, that's what we want to see.
Let's settle about the tirades and trashtalking, the match has already been set and opponent of Inoue has already been picked and that's Casimero. Let's focus with the possible performance of these two since we've got enough already about the hype that all started with Casimero's word attack.
That was a good match but it was a unanimous win by Inoue, so not really a fight where we see the real excitement as it's just a one-sided fight. Inoue as a champion should give a chance to a challenger that he has not defeated before, and that is Casimero who is confident that he will beat Inoue in any place Inoue would prefer to fight him.

Indeed that fight became the fight of the year on 2019 its because we really see a good fight where both fighter broke both of their face and never retreat, Maybe we can see a different decision if Donaire didn't down at that time since for sure the judges decision maybe change.

But since it was written on the past already I don't think the part 2 fight will be happen since many want the fight to be done with Casimero and for sure they will make this happen since its more marketable right now.
3420  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: End of bull run so we sell everything? on: September 08, 2021, 01:31:15 PM
This has been something I have found difficult to decide on . When this bill run ends in a couple of months time should I sell all my VET and XRP then buy back in when the market turns bearish until the next bullrun?

Or do I only sell a portion of what I have and hold the rest for another 4 years. Reason I am asking is could XRP and VET continue to rise once the bull run ends ? I obviously don’t want to sell all my tokens to find they are continuing to rise in a bear market

What are your thoughts ?

Why take a hard time to decide while you can put a decision for yourself and make all the basis depends on your needs, If you think you cannot gamble anymore and your losing more money and then you cannot afford to lose more rather than hold it for more longer days then better sell it since I'm sure its a huge pressure  or stress seeing the price dumping badly then you can buy back again once you see that the market stabilize.
