Curious, how is it going to aid in post covid recovery?
The increase of revenue is the answer, they need more funds to recover as the pandemic made the government spend more than their allocated funds before the pandemic, remember that covid-19 was surprise, everyone wasn't expecting it to cause this huge damage directly or indirectly to our economy and in every part, government always plays a big rule to help the people to survive.
3662  Economy / Speculation / Re: ATH will be in 2021! on: December 08, 2020, 10:49:35 PM
When they believe that ATH will only be achieved whether it is at the end of 2020 or maybe the beginning of 2021, I think it doesn't matter if they are patient to continue holding. After all, yesterday's fall didn't look bad and it wasn't as bad as feared, because when the price can survive at least it's still above 15k I think it will still be fine. Apart from all that, I just have confidence, at least a new ATH will be achieved and a new history will be created because even the rise of bitcoin prices occurred when the economic crisis hit the world.

There are those who predict ATH will occur this year and not a few like me strongly believe that ATH will only be created after the initial correction new year from bitcoin. In fact, currently at a pretty good price, it is beyond my expectations because this year, Bitcoin will be quite comfortable in the range of $ 15K- $ 16K.
many countries may experience economic crises from pandemic times and possibly after pandemic times. where new vaccines have appeared and will reduce the epidemic so that at least there can be a reduction in the affected graph. That is not receding either but it does not prevent bitcoin from moving with a sharp increase next year.

Next year is another story, no one can predict what the movement of bitcoin next year based on the current movement, if most of us does not expect bitcoin to rise this big this year, I think we will be in the same side again next year. In short, we are all speculators here, we trade because of volatility but no assurance we will be profitable as our expectation or prediction could also be wrong.
3663  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People Say btc is Not ponzi but its look like ponzi on: December 08, 2020, 10:48:11 AM
Bitcoin was used in various Ponzi schemes and we can't ignore this fact. Two of the recent mega-scams (Onecoin and PlusToken) have seen billions of USD worth of funds stolen from the unsuspecting investors. Since cryptocurrency was used in the scam, it became more difficult to arrest the perpetrators and confiscate the stolen funds. We need to admit this and concentrate on increasing the awareness among investors regarding potential scams.
Exactly, these people misunderstood or does not really understand what bitcoin is, the platform could be a scam but bitcoin will never be called as scam. if they'll only understand that once they invest on ponzi scheme, they invest on the same not on bitcoin as bitcoin is just a payment system.

people with lack of knowledge might see bitcoin as ponzi, but we can't blame them, instead let's just help to educate them and hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes.

Good evening!
I would like to know the opinion of you, who follow the NBA, which news site do you see to know the player trades?!?
The Los Angeles Lakers still remain the favorite to win the NBA title of the 2021 season?
Yes, it's still LAL the favorite of the crowd.

Get the latest news on player trades through NBA news --> https://www.nba.com/news

There's a lot of outlet where you can find news about NBA or what is happening inside, just search NBA news, NBA rumors, or NBA updates, and you'll see a lot of information popping out. sometimes their website does not give all the information we need.

by the way, check this site to know which teams are favorites to win next season.

I think this is a good news, people are not really looking for the trilogy, instead they look to see Fury fight AJ, so after AJ's fight against Kubrat Pulev, hopefully he will win, the Fury vs Joshua will be the biggest fight next year, hopefully Fury's side will win if there will be a case so Wilder will learned his lessons and accept his current state now, and not to make excuses.
3666  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KUCOIN Hacked on: December 04, 2020, 02:58:33 PM
The Kucoin Exchange was hacked, many lost their funds.
 I also had 2000 $ ETH in Kucoin exchange.
 However, due to the quick action of the team management, I did not suffer any loss.

You stated that "many lost their funds" but that's not true, nobody lost funds actually. Kucoin was able to recover most of the funds hacked according to them, thanks to advanced tracking and team efforts. However, Kucoin and all exchanges need to advance their security, this is because hackers keep devising new means to hack. All these hacks on CEX is the major reason why we shouldn't keep funds on exchanges long term, only for trading purpose.

Yeah, they do, they recover "84% of Funds Stolen in $280 Million Hack", that's according to the news.

Kucoin Recovers 84% of Funds Stolen in $280 Million Hack


However, they still loss 16% or 44 million usd, that's a huge money, and even if we say some of these are from customers deposits, but Kucoin were able to refund everything, so we did not hear complains from traders and investors.

So there is a possibility that we might someday see his son Bronny, play along with his father in the NBA and this could be historic feat for Lebron and his son. And if this happen, we will all be privilege to see this in our lifetime.  Smiley

Would this be the first time to see a father and son play in the NBA?

I'm so curious, never heard like this before and honestly, I never realize that Lebron's son will soon be drafted in the NBA.

To my knowledge, this has never been done in the NBA, maybe in other sports, so Lebron and Bronny could make a history if they both actively playing in the NBA. And these are the youngest NBA player in the history, they are all 18 years old.

https://dunkorthree.com/youngest-nba-players/

if I'm not mistake, Broony is now 16 yo, so 2 years more he could play in the NBA.

By the way, Lebron also started at 18 years of age in the NBA.

Thank you mate, appreciate it, if its indeed true then we should rejoice it early as we will soon the first active father and son player in the NBA.

His son have some popularity already, thanks to the father which is the king Lebron.

i just hope he could come back like his old Howard but it's unlikely now as he is not getting any younger, good thing he will retire soon with a ring.
You're right. It's unlikely that someday we will see Howard as the dominant center on the court again. He is 34 years old, and I guess that a contract for 2-3 years with a salary of $10-15 mln after the end of the coming season would be a good end for his career.
He needs to play very well, when he play with the Lakers, he wasn't really getting a lot of minutes but he has some significant contributions during the playoffs, and I think that's going to be his role with the overhyped sixers. We will know this soon since the regular season will start this month.

The tweet was hilarious, https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1329943712265211904/photo/1
he did not really stay with the Lakers though.
3669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is an entertainment? on: December 04, 2020, 12:26:36 PM
For me gambling is still an entertainment, even though it can be painful sometimes. I lost this all my previous winnings in slot and are also on a down swing in poker. It's a bit depressing to lose in a few weeks the things that took you weeks to  earn before. But so is life too, good days will come again. And if I would have spent the same time going out I spent gambling, I probably would have spent even more money. Unfortunately we can't be always winning.

As long as you only experience fun and excitement it can consider as an entertainment but if the gambling has a negative effect to you like stress, addiction and the likes I don't think this kind of entertainment is still healthy for you.
You should know those negative, it's not good for you, before we gamble, we should also know the risk, the worst scenario that could happen to us if we got careless and allow our emotion to come into play, usually we get addicted if we are weak.

Winning does not favor on us most of the time, it's the what gambling sites have because they have the advantage, so we should know that, and if we are gambling for entertainment, we don't really expect to win all the time but we should be discipline all the time to still gamble based on what we can afford to lose.
3670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia IBF & WBC Welterweight Title on: December 04, 2020, 12:12:49 PM
I guess it's wise if we also do a live betting on this fight, at least in the first few rounds we will see who is dictating the fight, and it's easy for us to take a good odds in case Garcia is dictating the fight since he is the underdog before the fight.

I think of this too. I might try it but should be quick and fast to bet as if Garcia will take early rounds, odds for him might be lowered quickly.

Where do you guys usually place a live betting? Never did this in boxing yet.

The round winner betting option is also tempting but didn't check it yet on the crypto sportsbook. Only see the odds at fiat sportsbook.

Maybe it's time that you will try this time around, we have plan and we are expecting to see the value in live betting, and hopefully it will work. I still remember about the Bradly vs Pacquiao fight, the odds was really good for Bradley because people thought Pacquiao is already winning the fight, but when decision came, it was not as what they expected, I'm talking about the first fight.

My point is, there's a lot of value you can find in live betting.
3671  Economy / Speculation / Re: ATH will be in 2021! on: December 04, 2020, 11:48:10 AM
What do you think guys?

I am a little bit afraid for those who bought btc just recently where market recorded 19K$ per btc. Now, the current market drops and if they get emotional and sell it then it is already a loss for them. If it happen that they can hold it then I guess there is still a chance that they could earn especially if ATH will going to break more than 20K. But btc market is very unpredictable so good luck to all!

Anyway, I had a question will ATH happening this year? or in the year 2021?

What do you think?
The price is fluctuating in the range of 19k-20k, it can last a few weeks but all possibilities can happen in a short time. I think the end of the year will be $20k or $25k, feeling the market is settling down to catch another bull run.

There's no 20k yet, so the price did not fluctuate at that level.
When $20k will come, things will be different as FOMO will eventually come next although a big correction will be expected after a new ATH is achieved.
3672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia IBF & WBC Welterweight Title on: December 04, 2020, 04:53:02 AM
Both fighters as I see ere even on their statistics it could only be luck that will make either of them would nail this fight bot for some reasons due to the accident that happened with Spence it would definitely have an impact on his performance this time.

I supposed if not physical it could still affect him psychologically, like the eagerness to prove to everyone that the accident doesn't change him which may be caused him to be overwhelmed by Garcia. I'm positive that this match will be in favor of Garcia so I will be placing my bet on him.

That might the game changer  with this fight.

If Spence will take it seriously and fight without being aggressive to prove something this fight is statistically equal, they are both good and capable of finishing the fight with explosive blows, anything can happened  not an easy to tell who's getting the advantage.

Spence though can adjust in the game. It he see the Garcia is overly aggressive then he will be on the defense. Or if he wanted to be the aggressor then he can also implement that game plan.

The one thing that all of us wanted to see is how good Spence after the accident. If he is affected mentality then it will be a factor for him losing this fight. And I also wanted to see if Garcia can hit Spence cleanly and how he will react to it. I agree that Spence chin has not been tested that's why I wanted Garcia's left hook to touch that and see if he will buckle down, Lol.

I guess it's wise if we also do a live betting on this fight, at least in the first few rounds we will see who is dictating the fight, and it's easy for us to take a good odds in case Garcia is dictating the fight since he is the underdog before the fight.

3674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING SITE INVESTMENT on: December 03, 2020, 11:49:06 PM

I think that most likely you and I have the same problem with this kind of investments, the problem is that the profit is low and the risk is very high when most of the time you want the opposite, you want a high profit with a very low risk, so while many people only look at the steady profits that they could get by investing in those kind of websites we will look at the risk of having a monumental loss and we simply think that it is not worth it and that there are many other opportunities that offer better profits for the same risk.

If you invest in a website that has multiple coins you can mitigate those risks by diversifying your investment. This is what happened to me with YOLOdice. While Dogecoin has performed the worst of any coin the last two months, I've made up for those losses from my Litecoin investment which has done really well recently. I am still worried about the risks so I'm steadily converting everything to BTC and withdrawing to my own wallet once I have enough BTC that I won't lose a big percentage to withdrawal fees.

That part you are also playing with the volatility, knowledge in investing in a casino is not enough, you also need to study the price volatility and follow the coin you use for investing which is honestly harder than just investing in a casino alone. I believe a stable coin for investment would solve that problem, so hopefully these casinos will offer that for investment.
3675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ POLL ]: Boxing - Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev on: December 03, 2020, 11:41:24 PM
I still think Joshua will win this fight but it will not be straightforward.


He has learned mate, he will not be as aggressive as he was before because it will make him careless, the loss against Ruiz was already enough for him to adjust and use his advantage over a fighter, slowly but at least a sure win for him. A KO win or decision, it doesn't matter because he will fight Fury next and that's the biggest fight of his career.
3676  Economy / Speculation / Re: ATH will be in 2021! on: December 03, 2020, 01:08:59 PM
Will give opportunity and chance for altcoin back to higher price in 2021 because bitcoin dominance have reach higher price and move to altcoin, many potential altcoin should you hold right now from eth, bch, xrp and the last must you hold is bnb. I think new year will have new moment for altcoin back to higher price and take many new real partner like xrp success make Standard Chartered become most success partner so for in altcoin.

Bitcoin dominance should go down though for altcoins to get a sense of superiority. Remember BTC needed to go down to below 40% dominance for alts to get their spring season.

Unless Bitcoin becomes $100k and alts only need to go 10x maybe,,, or all the problematic altcoins die. It is not going to be easy though.
I think the dominance of altcoins depends on the price of btc when it goes down so altcoins will be more basic and difficult to rise, which is difficult for us to believe now for altcoins that all of that needs a process, but at the moment it is moving quite fast because of dominance on how to react, remember I just believe that altcoins used to be different from now which tend to die faster alt.
Everyone is expecting 2021 to be altcoin season but I don't think that's enough if this upgrade wasn't too much.
Even if bitcoin rises, it would still not create a significant increase of altcoins dominance.
Look at the dominance rate now, it's still 62%.  and I think it will remain that way for awhile.

speaking of dominant rate, it only dropped to 37% during the altcoins season where everything goes up crazy in January 2018.

Well yes, these two players are unstoppable but then they need more strong players if they wanted to win in championship league. If this is the only trade they will going to make still they could not beat the lakers with good players in that team. Lebron still be one of the difficult players to match with. This guy is already an epic or legend in playing basketball and never it happen that Lebron had had no show up in championship finals since they became champion when he was playing in Miami Team.

What they need is a legit big man, they should stop playing small ball, Lakers will eat them alive, even the Nuggets will crush them.
In their line up, https://www.nba.com/rockets/roster

They only have 2 legit center, Chandler and Cousins, but hey! cousins could go down anytime, and Chandler is also not getting any younger.

They need to fill that big HOLE.

I couldn't agree more, they were doing good during the regular season with their small ball play but they were expose in the playoffs, most especially when they meet the Lakers where they only won 1 game, so I think not acquiring big man is a good solution, hopefully more big man will come on board in the team.

LeBron James just signed 2 year deal with Lakers, they can sleep relaxed now. Smiley
He will get 85 million USD for 2 years. This is the most important deal for Lakers, they want to hold onto their best player and they achieved that. Now they should sign other all around players and veterans to stay as a championship contender team.

We already know that he will stay, but this is good as it's a confirmation that he would stay for at least 2 years and that means 2 season of championship if his team will continue to dominate in the NBA. He deserved that amount, or even more with his skills and leadership.

Wondering on what would be the next team on where He would hop in when he already bring Lakers to the peak just like into those former teams that he had joined. 2 years isnt really bad though and when it comes to
pay then there's no doubt on how much they would be putting on yet it would be definitely a worth to spend or give on in Lebrons caliber.

Honestly, I don't think Lebron will still find a new team after this, he already had the salary he expected and he is not getting any younger. It's 2 years, a lot of things could happen although we hope for his best, but injuries and other factors is possible, so hopefully he will continue to dominate and lead the team, probably a back to back championship or even a 3 peat.

Spence on why he take Danny Garcia:

Quote
“I didn’t want a tune-up,” Spence told BoxingScene.com. “First, I feel like a tune-up wasn’t gonna get me anywhere. Secondly, I feel like a tune-up wasn’t gonna answer questions from people that need to be answered. And thirdly, I feel like Danny Garcia would look great on my resume, beating him.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/spence-tune-up-fight-wasnt-gonna-answer-questions-answered--153694

Sign of a true warrior, taking a big risk fight after his life threatening car accident. So we will have to see if this risk will pay off big this weekends. The odds doesn't change though, still Spence is 1-4 favourite to win the fight.

Good odds, another possible upset,  Grin

I like what Spence said, he is a warrior and he like to fight a boxer that would test his skills as a boxer.
I think he deserve a big fight if he beat Garcia in this fight, and people would be shouting his name vs Crawford, this fight is a big blowout for us.
