3541  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What features should a good altcoin project have? on: June 12, 2021, 08:30:35 AM
When starting an investment we should evaluate the altcoin project very well. Investigate if it have use cases, what the community is like, the rewards system and what initiatives it is developing. Which altcoin project in your opinion do we have to get involved with to make a profit y why?

With the current market trend? NFT and the whole staking. So it's really up to what is the hype at any given time. Before it was IEO, 2017 it was really a boom and many investors making tons of money.

Long term? crypto's like ETH, BNB, ADA will be a good project to invest. We all know how strong they are and how is the support of the community. If you have invested on them during the bearish cycle, they you could have made profit as well, in 3 years time.

Hawks and Sixers game, too much for trae, scores are coming everywhere for the Sixers and embiid is really on a mission to be in the east finals if we remember the heartbreaking loss with the raptors, so I think that's whats motivate him so much, the sixers are making it hard for young to score and be in the zone, dominant win for the sixers to take the series lead.
It's expected to happen, thankfully I put my bet for the 76ers -3.5. Good win with the addition of over 222.5.
They are both offensive team so a high scoring game will always have a better chance to win. Trae cannot handle the offensive strength of the 76ers.
Simmons doesn't even have to score, he just need to keep his eyes with Trae which is a big mismatch.
Hawks must find a way to stop Embiid and look for another attack instead of just putting the ball to Trae which is not working anymore. 76ers found their weakness in Game 1.

Will be very difficult for the Hawks to win their series as they have close the gap on Trae Young. He can't get a good look and always contested. Capela is only good for a few quarters, but after getting into foul trouble, no one can stop Joel Embiid in the middle.

And then they have Seth Curry to contain as well, Tobias Harris being consistent on attacking. Lot of variables for Hawks to look. Trae needs to score 50 points to get close of winning a game against the 76ers.

I believe he sold a big portion of his Bitcoin and made a profit from that, and he is now FUDDING Bitcoin, so he can crash it and buy it at a very low level and then pump it again since he has a lot of followers he can play a dirty game in the market and comes out clean, of course this is not right that one man is taking charge of the movement, the community must show him that we can stand on our own.

Regardless if they sold on not, Musk shouldn't release any statement that will hurt the market in general.

But he did, that's why there are a lot of speculation as what is his reason behind this FUD. It's definitely has something to do with his business, we have heard that they are going to sell solar panel so maybe this is just one reason. If they did sell on top, definitely they have profited big by this time and we can only wait for their next public release of data as whether it is true or not.
3544  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Hash rate crash today? [2021-06-11] on: June 11, 2021, 12:33:09 PM
Interesting!
Does anyone know where the declining hashrate is coming from? Could it be related to the Chinese authorities cracking down on mining farms in China and closing a few overnight? That would be the only explanation for me at the moment!

Seems like this is the case, it coincide with the news that the Chinese government is cracking down on bitcoin mining. And there could be farms voluntarily shutting their services and then Chinese media putting some spin on it.

Short term it can effect the price, but there's no need to panic. Maybe this "news" is already price-in as ber bitcoin is just hovering to $36k-$37k.

Thanks for bringing this up, but I will say that majority here doesn't heard about this special event as this is more of the technical side. But I do hope that at least many members here will take a look at this event and see what Taproot can bring in the table for all of us. So yes, this is a very positive and welcome development for bitcoin's ecosystem.

I am surprised that Tsitsipas is clear favorite for the bookmakers in his match against zverev with odds of only 1.40 for a win of tsitsipas. I think this will be a pretty open match and it is also very much possible that zverev will advance into the final.
It could be because the bookies saw their meeting record Tsitsipas lead 5-2.
In clay season this year both had pretty good results getting one title each so as you mentioned it should be an open match where both have the same chance to win and advance to the final.

Yes, and Tsitsipas won the Lyon Open tournament last May and has been in the finals in his last 2 or 3 clay court tournaments. So I guess book makers thinks that Tsitsipas will be the overwhelming favourite and basing on the tournament itself, how many sets did he lost before reaching the semis? He has been winning 3 or 4 matches and ripping opponents, just like what Rafa has done as well.

Almost time for the Nets to beat the Bucks and bring me my money.  Grin

No Harden, no problem. The Nets have so much more talent than everyone else, we’re seeing another Warriors dynasty situation. Without the King to bring them down, they have only themselves to fear. I can only imagine how bad the blowouts would be if Aldridge had stuck around on the team.

Yeah, Nets are feeling comfortable without Harden. And since the game is on the home court of Bucks tonight, Brooklyn is the underdog. So this is a good chance for us to win good if we bet on Nets as they are torching the Bucks will their good offense with Durant.

Might be a close one, but I'm leaning towards Nets here @2.65 ML.

Almost a win but lack of time that last attempt of KD might send them to OT but not a lucky shot, KD really tried to lift everything that missed from brown was huge,

I was thinking that Nets already have this game after that 3 point made by KD More than a minute left, it was a bad decision from Brown
I guess,

Kyrie was there and he can execute a play if Brown pass back the ball, but it's a dying seconds so no one can blame Brown for taking
that shots it was a good contest from the bucks and Holiday decide to take everything that's showcasing of your toughness when
the team needed you most. Congrats!

It was a contested shot, if you look at the replay, PJ Tucker, one of the Bucks defender, put a body of KD, that's why when I saw him released the shot, I said to myself it's not going it.

Good escape win by the Bucks, and this game proved that they still need James Harden service. Joe Harris was supposedly the third option, but he has a horrendous shooting night. Blake was dominated by Lopez in the middle. So if this game boils to be a defensive one, I think Bucks has the odds on winning again in the next game.
3548  Economy / Speculation / Re: El salvador has become new history of bitcoin! on: June 11, 2021, 09:52:26 AM
Yes this day is a cause for celebration and others will follow. Also note this is Bitcoin, not crypto, not some kind of shitcoin, but Bitcoin. And they will be focusing on the Lightning network.

Hopefully there could be other countries to follow the footstep as what El Salvador this 2021.

We never thought that a Central American country like El Salvador will be the face of bitcoin in that border, but they initiate it so we should lauded their current government for the decision. And it will open up a lot of opportunities for El Salvadorian to explore the benefits of bitcoin individually. Who knows maybe next month we will see them on top of Google Searches. And give them some time, maybe Central America countries are already looking at bitcoin and make them a legal tender.
3549  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Co-founder and CEO of Avenue Capital Group lamented he should have bitcoin on: June 09, 2021, 10:59:53 PM
I think you don't know to be a rocket scientist to see that bitcoin is not going to 0. For those who are claiming, it's obvious that they have their own narrative behind spreading this kind of lie. And I'm sure we have heard this many times in the past that bitcoin is dead etc, etc. And yet it is so resilient and has found it's way to $60k this year.

He could have some in his wallet, early but didn't manage to get more while bitcoin is still cheap and this is what he regrets, (just like the rest of us.)

Jazz do play like a well oiled machine. I mean they are doing very well, and that is why I believe they will have a good chance of winning the league this year, only opponent for them in my mind is Nets. However last time I said "there is no way they can lose" to a team it was Lakers, I believed they would beat Suns very easily and look where we are, which means I am not that great at assessing team talent, which is why I think there is a good amount of chance that we may not see Jazz in finals if I am wrong again.

However Clippers is not that great this year neither, they barely won against Dallas and Jazz is first seed so it wouldn't really be a shock if they ended up losing neither, it is going to be a very entertaining series to say the least. If jazz keeps playing this team ball, they are really better than anyone else, not because their team is better on paper, but because they play with full chemistry.

Clippers are also playing the same, they have good chemistry and they have a reliable leader. Jazz only won by 3 points, so it's not really a dominant performance by the Jazz, remember that this is a best of 7 series, and only 1 game was concluded, so expect a tougher battle gong forward as Clippers will certainly makes an adjustment to win.

The game was played with spurts, Clippers took the early lead, then Jazz, regain the upper hand because of their good 3 point shot. And then it was a chess battle, Jazz even Mitchell's 45 can blow by the Clippers. Just the breaks of the game.

So this game is not yet over, Clippers have been want Jazz is capable and can adjust. Yes, this will be very entertaining series. Maybe we will see Kawhi again exploding and have 40 point game as well. Too early to conclude that Utah has the upper hand in this series.
3551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: June 09, 2021, 04:32:56 PM
@Trofo - I think you got the +9.5 won on Schwartzman, and even if you bet for Nadal -8.5, it was still covered. Schwartzman also won a set. I haven't pull the trigger on Djokovic vs Berrettini, but I might bet for Matteo to win at least 1 set as well.

I check on the ladies side, all names are not familiar to me on the semi-final, obviously, we will crown a new French Open champion again this year. We all know how unpredictable the ladies side is, so I'm not surprised although I thought that in the beginning, Swiatek can at least defend her crown.
3552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Predict Pump and Dump scams on: June 07, 2021, 10:58:00 AM
There are hundreds of pump and dump groups out there, if will be a big risk on your part to try and anticipate the next coin they chooses because they are a lot. And not all small coins are being pump, sometimes they pump that is on top too.

Don't get me wrong, but it is a complete waste of time in your end. Why not DYOR, at least you don't have to rely to scam groups to make money. And chances are, if you do this method, the percentage might not be in favour and you might incur losses in the end.

^ I agree that Medvedev is not a clay court players, to be honest, I bet against him in his last 2 games.  Grin. So I was surprised of him still in the game and beating good clay court specialist.

Zverev is tearing this tournament and so is Tsitsipas, you just have to watch the first set and see how this 2 are performing. Hard to bet on them.

I'm taking Rafa over Sinner, maybe we can see Sinner at least winning 1 set here.

Los Angeles Clippers 126 Dallas Mavericks 111

Better luck next time for the Mavericks. I'm really rooting for them but at least they don't give the much dominant Los Angeles Clippers an easy run at their series.

Hopefully, Luka will experience his first winning playoffs series the next time they qualified again for the playoffs. His effort will surely be rewarded.

I'm expecting Dallas Mavericks will do some good actions in the post-season to somehow revamp their supporting cast. There are lots of good prospects that will be available in the market and they should participate in it.
Kristaps Porzingis 0/5 3pts. He lost his touch and being the unicorn. I think it was because he was forced to fill the power forward position which he is not.
He should be like Durant making outside shots or perimeter jumps.
Rick Carlisle focused too much just using 5 players in the game and forgot about how strong his power forwards are. Kleber and Powell.
The player rotation was not good and the zone defense killed them.

They have a good roster but forgot how good it is. They are a young team so just add this to the experience.

KP has been missing in this playoffs, not surprised that he just score 3 points, him and Luka are not a perfect match, in my opinion. I think it's better to trade him to get a decent player that can consistently contribute. I think KP and Kuzma are two players in first round series that was perform below expectations.

Congrats to Clippers, they proved themselves after a 0-2 start and then that airball in game 5. Kawhi carrying the team, Pandemic George hasn't exploded yet.

@$28,800, I think this is still a good opportunity to enter again, specially for those who are waiting for the right time to time. As for the bearish cycle, it might have come early, and it might be a good thing to see it in the middle of year. Instead of happening it at December and then the whole market collapses in 2022.

At least we still have time to see the market bouncing back in the last 2 quarters, which usually as past historical logs tells us, is the time wherein we will see a super fast rally again.
3556  Economy / Speculation / Re: My million dollar bitcoin price probabilities prediction on: June 06, 2021, 09:38:57 AM
Let's wait till 2032, or at least the next 3 halvings as bitcoin will almost be mined that time, close to 20 million and see if we can even remotely get close to a million. It will be just like in the next 10 years and for sure majority of us will still be alive and see the growth.

Also remember that as the price goes up, the exponential growth will slow down, so we also have to take that in mind when making our predictions.

Djokovic is dominating hard. He is in good shape. I wish Federer would play a role in this tournament, but he would have to beat both Djokovic and Nadal, that's impossible. What is interesting though would be Djokovic vs. Nadal in the semifinal. If Djokovic really manages to play his very best it is going to be a super clash between the two.

Djokovic and Nadal has the advantage in this surface, Federer will have to play perfection in order to beat the 2 this year in Roland Garros. And I think he is really taking it one game at a game as we all know that he is coming back from a long lay off and injuries.

He is now on the court with Koepfer, expecting him to win and I do hope that he will cover -5.5 in this match as I have a bet on him.

Absolutely, but Federer made it to the next round which is awesome. I just like him and he deserves it as a sportsman and a private person. Always humble.

As for Nadal and Djokovic it is a little bit sad that they meet in the semifinal. I wish they would meet in the final. It's still somewhat different. If Nadal wins that semifinal against him who else has the quality to stop him in the final? Under normal circumstances nobody.

Unfortunately, I lost my bet, the score was so close that they have multiple tie breaks and I just needed needed Federer to at least win by 3 points, but the close out score in 4th set is 7-5, only 2 points, damn, was close.

Anyhow, it's good to see Federer going into the 4th round, but it won't be easy, I'm betting for Federer +4.5 this time @1.79, couple with some.
3558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 06, 2021, 07:45:02 AM
^^ Nets already proved in game 1 that they can win without Harden, and one of their superstars stepping up in Griffin. Huge game for him, I haven't seen the entire game but see him making three's and then playing good defense and rebounds. Bucks has no answer for him, even Giannis cannot penetrated against the good defense of Griffin. Was a close game early, but Nets took over in the third, sure they live up the the betting odds as the favorite.
They needed a big body to stop Giannis from getting a momentum to attack the paint and Griffin is the best choice for that position.
Coach Nash did a good job analyzing the outcome of the game.
Now it will be the Bucks problem on how they would react after losing. I saw big errors that I hope they will see after reviewing the game.
One is they cannot handle one on one defense with Kyrie and Durant. Lopez also lettting Griffin free in the three point line which should not happen and we witnessed how he punished them for leaving him open. They lack trusting each other to get the rebound.

PJ Tucker try his best to stop Durant, and I think Griffin's game is unexpected, they concentrate too much on Irving and Durant and forget about how to handle Griffin as he has some outside three and getting a big 14 rebounds against a much taller Lopez.

Only Giannis and Middleton try to keep them in the fight, and they need to play team defense to stop Durant and Irving next game.

^^ Knowing Floyd, yeah he could hold on that excuse, in any case, he said he is not after his legacy so he doesn't care if he win or lose against Logan Paul, all of the money for him.

So he out weight Floyd by 34.5 lbs, doesn't matter though, as per Floyd:

Quote
"I've been here before, I know what it takes. I fought every different style you can possibly fight. Height don't win fights, weight don't win fights, fighting wins fights and I can fight."

Floyd has point though, obviously as one of the best, and have seen and fought taller fighters before, for sure he can offset the height and weight advantage.
