3421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some things will never work in crypto world on: October 30, 2020, 07:30:03 AM
There are some useless or not actually needed use cases in crypto space that will never work anytime sooner in crypto world, few project developers actually thought they can make them work but they are wrong.

1. VR (Virtual Reality) projects
2. A.I (Artificial intelligence) Projects
3. Green energy Blockchain projects ( probably built to extort money)
4. Gold backed tokens (two to three works but majority are scam)

If you think I'm wrong please give your reasons

How about give us some reasons first why it will not work? If the intention of the team are just to scam investors, then even if the project has the potential to grow in the market, it would still fail as scammers will scam, that's how it work.

You can't avoid accidents, yes here the death might not occurred if these illegal things were completely stopped but money speaks more to the government so people bribe and make the illegal things so much common.



People maybe got panic, they run over knowing there is a raid so did the chickens, unfortunately the chicken already wearing a "tari" or blade, and when there's panic, chickens gets panicked as well, maybe these policemen was not properly oriented on how to ensure safety on their raid.

It's unfortunate to see this kind of news that the authorities are the ones who suffered instead of the people violating.

At least in future these kind of things can be avoided by giving proper protocol to organize these games if these games are completely unstoppable even after banning them
This game will not be ban for sure, it's only temporarily ban due to the pandemic.

I see, thanks for the heads up but if I were to the OP he should update the thread/title of the thread especially that the fight has been extended, so that people will be aware but I think it's best if there's a thread for Poirier vs. McGregor too.

Was the fight really scheduled? By saying it's extended this means there was a prior date of this fight already, but it seems for me, this is just an speculation from fans on both sides.

No, there was no schedule yet but there was a kind of mutual understanding between the two that they will fight.
However, not this time maybe as there's a lot more important things to do than this fight, and during the pandemic there was no crowd, so less money.

Based on the news, it will be next year : https://www.si.com/boxing/2020/09/26/manny-pacquiao-conor-mcgregor-fight-confirmed

3424  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin do you trust, BNB or ETH? on: October 30, 2020, 05:40:35 AM
I still watch them. Ethereum or Binance coin both have equivalent appeal to me, two are genuine gem on this market. It's true the early investors make good money through this two coins. If you're ain’t ready for investing then must consider it, you’ll start making real earnings in this market when you're involving. There's ton of reason behind it why I prefer, just make your own research.

BNB has a lot of potential, so as the ETH, but if you'll ask me, I would go more aggressive on investing BNB than ETH as this IMO this coin is more complete and they know how to play the game, you know, their marketing is very effective and their exchange has a big influence why investors and traders will get hype.
3425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Multi bets vs single bets on: October 30, 2020, 05:20:36 AM
I think multi bets is more risky since you can't thoroughly analyze most of their games while you can do that with single bets.
This is a good point, we need to analyze the game before we put a bet, and it's not easy to win multiple games when we are even having a hard time to win in a single game only, that's why most gamblers will prefer and single bet and if you notice, they put a decent amount on single bet while on parlay, they only put a small amount.

Aha, I see Lunyr is listed on WorldCoinIndex and the price is $1.61 right now.

not only worldcoinindex but lunyr still on coinmarketcap too and still tradeable on several exchange
but the volume is very low mate only $6,533.11 in 24hours, stange because on june the volume hit about 10 Million USD
you can check here https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/lunyr/markets

The hype over, after it was delisted in Binance, I don't expect the volume will increase again, and the price as well.
It's time is gone, one of the old projects that really struggle due to the moon in the market, and due to the lack of development of the project.

I tend to forget anymore when this fight will happen, I suggest OP to update the date of the fight in the thread title so it will remind us, September 12 has already passed, it should be a new date which is November 28, 2020.  Smiley

https://www.sportbible.com/boxing/boxing-news-legends-reactions-mike-tyson-is-a-shredded-beast-at-54-years-old-20201019

Thank you for reminding me.
Topic is now updated with new correct date and graphics.
Stay tuned because we may have few more surprises as big fight day is getting closer and Myke Tyson is looking very sharp Wink
Follow him on twitter: https://twitter.com/miketyson


That's what we want to see, not only Tyson but Jones as well, they should look sharp and give their best in the fight though the fight is shorter in terms of minutes than the usual, can't wait to see this fight, it will be in less than a month now and I think this time around, it's gonna happen.

It's a long preparation for them, I'm hoping for a big success.

Thanks for giving me incredible limits now nitro.
100$ on basketball, what a joke.
I don't bet ever on nitrogensports after their terrible behavior and various scam accusations against them but one thing you must know that every sportsbook limit users after winning and I have even even guys complaining about limits on stake.com which is a decent sportsbook so I believe limitation happens once you win a lot. But that said, the limits are usually set on e-sports because there is a higher chance of manipulation and even match fixing and they should allow higher bets on basketball and other sports.

I don't even know why you use them when they have so many ongoing problems and accusations but whatever the reason is, there are way better and far more popular sportsbook available if you can just visit the gambling section HERE

What?
Limits on esports, lol. I never bet on this bs in my life. I have limits for everything.
And talking about accusations. I am calling out sports books, that is no accusation.

I had 1 problem with stake which was ridiculous behaviour by the support, thats it. They even limited me to 10-100$ bets now too.
I have my account with nitro for quite a while, made bets worth more than 40btc and I have a net win/loss of around -2btc still.
It was around 3 btc but I won 1 back, thats why I got the limit. Losing player gets a limit, thats a joke.

Show me a good sportsbook with btc please, they are all trash as far as my experience goes. Sad but true. Did not find 1 trustworthy site in this forum.

If you are a big gambler, considering the limits, then I do not understand why they limit you so much. If you had big wins then it would make some sort of sense.

As far as I see you did not, so its strange what they do. I am only familiar with situations that winning players get limited.

Sportsbook hate winners, is that true now?

I suggest him to just create an account on different sportsbook and spread that bet, that way he can maximize his bet without a limit.
3429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin reach $20k fee will be huge? on: October 29, 2020, 11:54:35 AM
Fee is high when the network is busy, but on ordinary days, fees are reasonable, last time bitcoin went to $20,000, there was a chaos in the market and the fee was really high but if it will be stable at that price after it will reach at that level again, I think we will not complain of the fee.

As bitcoin continues to grow in value, we cannot deny that bitcoin is not anymore suitable for micro transactions, altcoins are now more suitable for that, however, bitcoin owns a great liquidity, so people who usually transact with a decent amount will always prefer bitcoin as the fee is still comparably low compared to centralized platforms like paypal or the like.
3430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In-play or pre-match staking on: October 29, 2020, 11:26:57 AM
I can't choose one as I do both, I usually put a bet on pre-match, then while watching the game if I see some opportunity or value on a certain team, I would not hesitate to beet on them live, actually I have better winning rate betting on In-play or live betting.
3431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: October 29, 2020, 03:54:03 AM
I dont know what their salary cap is but they would probably have to dump a bunch of money to get a max star.  NBA has a salary cap so you cant just indefinitely add superstars at will lile you can in baseball.

The attempt on acquiring Giannis is already on the Dallas Mavericks plan for a long time now. If salary cap is an issue and that will be the reason why that signing won't happen then we should already see a rumor or some analyst shared their view stating it's not possible to happen.

There are ways to make it happen but that will limit Mavericks plan this upcoming season to market good role players. That also depend on Giannis decision once he hit the free agency in the next post-season.

If Giannis wants to enjoy a max salary in his present team now, he can, but if he likes to increase his chances of not having an early exit, then he will have to sacrifice a bit, Dallas Mavericks are willing to sign him with a decent salary as well.

Giannis will have the pick of his team in free agency.  Every team with max salary capability will offer him a max.  Only the bucks can offer him both more and a lengthier deal.  Every other team can offer the same amount.  I think in this instance adding him to the mavs makes kristaps despensible.  It would be a better idea "if" giannis came to the mavs to trade kristaps for a floor spreading point/shooting guard.  Giannis and kristaps plays the same role with giannis obviously the better of the 2.
I agree with you, plus KP is not really healthy that healthy after all, he is prone to injury now and that makes the future of the Mavericks uncertain if KP will be injured in big games especially in the playoffs. KP is a complete big man, he can shoot in the 3s consistently, grab some rebounds and block shots but the main concern only IMO is his health.
3432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Multi bets vs single bets on: October 29, 2020, 03:12:46 AM
I do both, single bet on bigger amount, multi bet on smaller amount.

Some people say that parlay is making you lose overtime, it maybe correct but the fun and experience is really great when I'm doing a parlay bet.
Not only two legged parlay but even more, the higher the better as the payout will increase.

If you are serious with sports betting, you should focus on single bet instead.
3433  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: SEC issued $5 million penalty to KIK Interactive For Unregistered Offering on: October 28, 2020, 12:25:05 PM
I mean it was really expected that it will favoured SEC right? Because KIK and the people behind really offered unregistered and security tokens based on facts and evidences. I'm expecting that the decision though might come up early, nevertheless, it's really a blow to KIK because they are really trying to comeback with all those airdrops, but it seems that it also back fired on them because the problem really die after the case against them, if I'm not mistaken the price sinks to as low as -99%, meaning it almost went to zero.

[.. snip ..]

Yeah but if you look at the charts, the project is still dead:



https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/kin/

Although it gain, still far cry from where they've been prior to the case.

@Harlot - you have a point, I don't know if Howey's test is applicable to crypto and that SEC should be very clear about it.

I think I will have to just accept the future of my investment with this coin, and I'm glad that SEC are working on the scam projects, and I hope more will complain as there's plenty of scams in the past that stolen millions of money from investors.

I'm not familiar with KIK, I though it was KICKICO,.. I'm searching in CMC but could not find it.

Anyone can you tell me where this coin.
3434  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin transaction fees be too high in the future? on: October 28, 2020, 12:16:10 PM
We cannot control the future transaction fee prices but I will guess if Bitcoin goes up in price so will the cost to make transactions.

If you are anything like me or others in the thread $2 is not a lot to pay if you are sending hundreds of dollars in currency.


How would that help the massive adoption if we can't afford the transaction fee, bitcoin will be useful only for users who like to transact with huge amount as they'll only have to pay a small amount, but for users who only transact $10 or less, bitcoin is not going to help them especially when the network is congested.

The LN might be the best solution for this IMO, and hopefully people will support it.
3435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Inoue vs. Moloney - October 31 on: October 28, 2020, 07:38:00 AM
The match in a few days is about to start, I can't wait to see it. And I bet big enough on Inoue, I spent $ 700 to bet on Inoue's winnings.
Maybe for $ 700 whales it is a very small value, but for me it is quite a large amount. So I wish luck on my side, I have 98% confidence
Inoue will win the fight.

Yeah, you really need to put big bet on Inoue because the odds is about 1.09 only. So you will only earn small amount of money even if you put $700. Actually, $700 is quite big for most of the gamblers here. Good luck!

Waiting for Inoue -Casimero...

Unfortunately you can't just choose the amount you'll put, most of the crypto sportsbook has a low limits, so I don't think they'll accept that $700 for a single bet... I could be wrong here, maybe others can share their experience if they were able to put a single bet with that amount.
3436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: October 27, 2020, 10:44:18 PM
The good thing about Michael Jordan was his skill to bring his team into finals when he was in Chicago Bulls and not only that, He managed to win 6 of them. also, he became the NBA Finals MVP in all six NBA championship that's insane for a player who played in Chicago Bulls for his six-season career.

Let's also give credit to his teammates. Their lineup was really one of the best during their championship seasons. Jordan's skill is superb so when blended with his teammate's skills, the result is they turned into a monster team.

And just want to clarify your last statement, Jordan's journey in Chicago is not just six-season but 13 seasons. He also experiences struggles and difficulties in his early years and even a first-round sweep at the playoffs but he came back strong every year. Their team's GM is also good at acquiring role players that help the Chicago Bulls reached their stardom.

That's right, without good role players surrounding the best player in the NBA, he would still fair as he cannot carry his team alone, it's a team sport, chemistry is very important as team effort makes a team successful. Correct me if I'm wrong, during MJ's era he is not a fan of building a super team, IMO, Bulls that time are not considered as super team compared to the GSW, Lakers, and Nets with Durant and Irving.
3437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Inoue vs. Moloney - October 31 on: October 27, 2020, 10:20:39 PM
This is a very interesting fight and we are almost there.

I had placed my bet on Inoue because it seems the odds were on this fighter and I have a good smell and doubt that this man will win the fight. But there's no guarantee yet since Moloney I guess was also well prepared for this fight. Both fighters are aggressive but we just only one winner. Let just wait and see this fight. 
Good luck on your bet. You're too early for the match but it's better than before the last few minutes of the match.

I'm for Inoue on this match but it's worth to take the risk and odds for Moloney. But it's your choice and bet and we have no idea how this match will be ending so good luck to everyone who will be betting for this match. A few days to go and this will be on.

Betcoin.ag and Fortunejack offers the best odds for this fight, https://www.bestodds.ai/odds/sport-boxing/matchups/naoya-inoue-vs-jason-moloney
The maximum you can get is 1.1 for Inoue while 7.19 for Moloney, 1.10 is worth he risk, just make sure to put a decent bet.
For the sake of gambling, that's worth to take the risk. But for someone who's ok with the 1.1 odd, it's also good to have that chance of winning. Maybe those odds will still change before the last few days before the fight.
If it will still change, I'm sure it will still be in favor of Inoue, this fight is so overrated in the eyes of the bookies so they set up him on a heavy favorites, even his fight with Donaire, he was also heavily favored but that's always an upset if Donaire did not gas out in the later rounds.


so we are 3 weeks to go before this happens?
No, 3-4 days depending on your country. October 31.
Typo on his part I guess, 3 weeks is too long to wait for an October 31 fight,  Grin

The term was to "rebuild" the team with young stars.

If I'm not mistaken, the process has been started for a long time already but still no progress.

Or maybe currently still tagged as a "plan".

Yes, they started rebuilding a long time ago, they even hire Phil Jackson to be the President of this team, unfortunately it was a failure and until now the Knicks are still in the stage of experimenting to improve the team, this team is awful, they done qualify in the playoffs and they finished with a very bad record in most seasons, the best season they have IIRC was only when Melo was still with the team, and of course with the Linsanity, who would forget that.
3439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin sportsbook bonuses on: October 26, 2020, 10:35:45 PM
The wagering requirements are a trap and designed to force the gamblers to lose more,

That's wrong, for me, wagering requirements are the protection of the sportsbook for them not to get abuse, they always ensure that odds are in their favor, even the promotion they are giving, so we should also be smart of joining the promotion or the bonuses they are offering, it's a way to lure gamblers to continue to play but it's not really a trap if you are a gambler as your intention is to gamble.

I think Lebron is the second greatest and MJ the greatest of all time.  Has nothing to do with personal bias, simply what I've seen with my own eyes. 

Well, for me, in the top 3, I will put Lebron in the last, just what I see also.

Here's how I rank them.

1- Michael Jordan
2-Kobe Bryant
3-Lebron James

Even MJ have spoken.  lol

Michael Jordan Believes Only Kobe Bryant Is on His Level


Maybe Jordan only said this because he is a good friend with Kobe as what he said during the time Kobe died. He would rather picking someone 2nd who is much closer than him rather than someone who isn't. What is this talks about anyways? You won't really know the real answer on who is the best as there will always be bias when it comes to these kinds of talks.

People look on different factors on the players performance, so they could be bias, like myself, I could be bias as well but to make it fair, let's conclude that these 3 are hall of famers already but there's only one GOAT and that is MJ.

If we keep comparing, that is not good as we will not be able to appreciate LBJ which is the only one active now in the sport.
