This incidents in those countries are so unfortunate.
People in those countries should consider the human entities more than their religion entities and beliefs. People and human nation is over all and not below Gods and faiths.

The US economy is fuelled by debt.
We realized that in 2008 with the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Having said that, as much as the debt is, it is better for the American Economy. If the debt is growing steadily then this is positive for them. However, I won't say the same for other countries around the world, as they will face strong consequences of it.

There are a lot of talks about how Harden and Westbrook would work. I'm trying to figure is out as well and running some simulations in my head  Grin
Harden will probably do most of the dribbling and outside shooting while Westbrook will be cutting the lane and dunking more often. 
 

This would be an amazing attaching combination.
My question is: Who is going to play defense? They will be having plenty attaching opportunities but not at all defensive ones.
3504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: July 15, 2019, 12:37:07 PM
I think maybe Abramovich has lost the hunger he once had to make Chelsea win lots of trophies. They don’t spend as much as they used to & it’ll be even harder for them this season because they can’t but anybody.
I predict a tough baptism for Lampard in the PL.

Just think of Tottenham. Wasn't in the same situation like Chelsea?
They are not making any signings, however they are making great performance in all competitions. I think that Chelsea's players will try to protect Lampard as many of them were playing together with him some years ago. They respect him more than anyone else.

I don't know if this discussion will be ever closed.
Everyone would claim that they are Satoshis but no one will be ever be able to prove it.
More and more speculations are about to be brought in public as the times goes. And the sad thing is that I believe that Satoshi is someone who is associated with illegal activities, and this may be the reason why he hides his identity.

I feel like this year's game as not so competitive as some years ago.
Historical nations with strong teams didn't play good football. At least I am happy that Senegal and Mane made all this way to the tournament and I hope they will manage to win it in the end, and be the champions of the Copa Africa Cup.

LeClerc is a best he and Verstappen and maybe Norris will be the next Tier of drivers.

The Overtake done today by LeClerc Over Gasly was something amazing, never seen it there and I'm following Formula1 for at least 20 years.

Indeed Leclerc made an amazing race with this overtake being the highlight of the race.
On the contrary, Leclerc's teammate, Sebastian Vettel made another disastrous race. I was sad that he destroyed Verstappen's race without any reason. Max whould be in the second position if Vettel didn't hit on him.

F1 Qualifying day today.
Bottas is going to start from the 1st position but I don't think that he is going to endure the pressure of Hamilton.
Personally, I am going to bet for Hamilton winning the Grand Prix as he is driving in his home and Silverstone is one track that fits great his aggressive driving method.

This year I didn't get that much profits only thing I did was holding my investments , I hope all my patience will pay off next year and there will be bull market and I make more profits  Grin 

many investors are in same hope only ?? I would like to know what you guys think about next year,
I love panda but I hate bears!
I am annoying with bears not because it is an animal, but because it is a red flood period. I was surprised recently when I saw that bitcoin gradually moving. Because of unexpected moment, I joined the train. Not knowingly that bears will fade now. I almost got 200 dollars in my wallet for a short period of time. That is the reason why I love bull market.

You were a little bit lucky that you got such profit in a short period of time.
It was a nice timing of joining the market at that point this is the reason you got profits. When I first joined, a bear market started and I lost a good portion of my investment. Thank God I started recovering.
3510  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Blockchain Replace Banks? on: July 13, 2019, 05:39:12 PM
The creation of blockchain came with possibilities and predictions of a future where intermediaries could be eliminated entirely. It is capable of executing millions of transactions within seconds at a lower transaction cost and requires no centralized authorization.

With the blockchain trend going on as strong as the moment, is it possible that blockchain will replace banks any time soon in the future?

More here: https://www.hb-wallet.com/post/2018/12/20/can-blockchain-replace-banks

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are here to substitute banks.
I think that this transition is not going to happen soon. Maybe it is more likely to see double ecosystems to occur and cooperate with each other. But still that would be a huge step towards mass adoption.
3511  Economy / Economics / Re: My challenge to bitcoin on: July 13, 2019, 05:27:42 PM
I created a 6 minute youtube video to explain why I don't like bitcoin, but let me sum it up.  I see the us dollar as a debt backed currency.  Banks create money through loans, which are in turn backed by houses, cars, and people's incomes.  Everybody seems to think the us dollar is a faith based, or something, but I don't see it that way.  I see it as a fully backed currency, not too much different from being a gold backed currency.  Where am I wrong?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jujwQkhnoU8


I am trying to find a way of connecting your thoughts.
I agree that the us dollar is fulled from debt as banks give loans to people that would buy houses, cars etc, and when people are not able to pay back their loans they take their houses, cars x2. But how is that connected with Bitcoin? Bitcoin has nothing to do with banks' activities.
3512  Other / Archival / Re: The Arrest of Bill Clinton - How, When, Why, By Whom? on: July 13, 2019, 05:19:06 PM
I would accuse Clinton about the War in Kosovo that he started and killed a lot of innocent people in Belgrade, Serbia.
Otherwise, I think that the US had passed great days with him in charge. The economy was thriving during his tenure and people saw their income increasing.
But after 20 years of his retirement, do you think it is a great time to arrest him? Why this didn't happen earlier?

Quote
I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity....

....Similarly, Facebook Libra’s “virtual currency” will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new Banking Charter and become subject to all Banking Regulations, just like other Banks, both National...

...and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!

Why do you think this is the stance of the current President?

Politicians do what their lobby wants to do.
I think that Trump adopted this stance because the lobby of bankers and financial institutions tell him to do so. Maybe it is time that more attention will start to be shown in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general as institutions are moving towards this direction.
3514  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-07-12] Fed Chairman Jerome Powell Compares Bitcoin to Gold on: July 13, 2019, 04:59:42 PM
I totally agree with Mr. Powell.
Bitcoin is more than a digital asset which is used to store value. I hardly ever have heard someone of using Bitcoin to make payments. Maybe this volatily makes people to be afraid of making cryptopayments with it, because they may think that they are going to lose money.
3515  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-07-12] Japanese Exchange Hacked for $32 Million in Cryptocurrency on: July 13, 2019, 04:56:57 PM
There are already so many incidents of security breaches in exchanges.
I wonder why people still save their cryptos in exchange wallets and they don't store them in any hardware wallet of something away from exchanges. For so many times, hacks have happened and will continue to happen.
3516  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-07-12]BitFunder CEO Gets 14 Months Prison Time on: July 13, 2019, 04:47:50 PM
What I have understood is that there are a lot of risks when you are an administrative member of a cryptocurrency company.
I don't include frauds and scammers that are punished fairly, I am talking about other manager who don't know the regulations and laws and they end up being in prison because of violating rules they didn't know.

I hope that scammers will go to prison for more that 14 months as they deserve it for stealing so much money. This period is nothing for the money that he stole.
3517  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-06-22]Russian Ministry of Finance Considers Allowing Cryptocurrency Tradin on: July 13, 2019, 04:35:03 PM
I believe that now, after the recent Tweet of Donald Trump that he is thinking of regulating and banning cryptocurrencies, the Russian Ministry will start thinking more of adopting crypto trading. These two countries always oppose to each over. When someone decides something, the other countries make an opposite decision in order to keep up the tension between them.
3518  Other / Archival / Re: Why are only muslim filth rapes reported in sweden and the uk? on: July 13, 2019, 04:28:34 PM
I think that these people are sick and it doesn't have to do with their religion.
Maybe this behavior stems from the fact that they are poor and they don't have a way out to any sex life. They should be punished for these actions as rapism is one of the worst thing that anyone can do to a woman.
3519  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do you think Trump changed his mind over the strike on Iran? on: July 13, 2019, 04:24:49 PM
I don't believe that he ever intended that there would be a strike. The consequences such as higher oil prices, and a rising death toll meant that it was a bad political play. I think he understood this from the beginning, and he used it to test his so-called advisers and aids, and to help discover who was leaking information. He has also used it to help maintain his image as a kind and compassionate man.

He has already an open war with China.
In my opinion, the US wouldn't endure another strike with Iran. He just made some statements against Iran just for maintaining his political status. Nothing special.
3520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: July 13, 2019, 08:18:21 AM
I think Chelsea will suffer without Hazard. If they didn’t have a transfer ban they could replace him & his impact with 2 or 3 players. I think they will be fighting with Man Utd & Arsenal for 4th.

By January 2020, we shall be knowing Frank Lampard's future.

I can tell you, if you are interested.
He will be fully supported by the club and he won't be fired at that time.
As a former player he will have the respect that he gained during his career and because of that the board will be reluctant to his failures. Also, we should not forget that he is still in his initial managing steps.
Yes he may have the support of the fans but will Abramovich be patient enough if he doesn't live up to the expectations?
Remember when Di Matteo was sacked?
I don't think Chelsea Fans wanted him to be sacked but Abramovich did it anyway.

You think Abramovich doesn't understand the situation?
He must be happy that he managed to find Lampard that will be Sarri's replacement. He is not stupid not to understand the situation. He realizes that Frank's job is difficult.
