As long as a Blockchain company is what we are talking about here, I don’t really see anything wrong with working from home. Most Blockchain jobs are remote jobs, the only ones I think might be affected are the mining companies. I don’t really know how bitcoin mining farms works, but I think they have to be there to manage their farm or something.

But as for others, like exchanges and wallet companies, there is the possibility for their staff to work from home. Just like Exodus, their staff work from home, if you check their website you will see that. Another cryptocurrency company is Xapo, majority of their jobs are remote jobs and they work with Slack.

Some people are saying that they were expecting the price to go up when the Coronavirus outbreak started Undecided like, how the heck are you expecting Bitcoin to go up? Adoption? Sorry you’re all wrong. I know for sure that if Coronavirus was going to have any impact on Bitcoin is going to be a decrease in price and that’s it, and even the stocks market were affected, except gold that kept increasing since beginning of this year, though it did fall back a little bit recently.

The reason I wasn’t expecting an adoption is because I knew that if people would need a contactless payment (technology payment) they would go for others like PayPal, since there isn’t much places where Bitcoin is being accepted. But this is not going to be for long, things will get better.

Keep safe people. Someone told me on my thread yesterday last night could be the last European club competition game we'd be seeing for a while now, looks like he's right with UEFA calling off the games. Right call right now I'd say. As Klopp says football is a lot of things but it isn't everything. (no he didn't exactly say that but he meant that haha).

Will Invincibles play in the original order or in the order of games that actually happen first, I wonder?
Man this corona actually got everywhere around the world. I was one of the people who said we had virus outbreaks before and nothing to worry about since all of that really didn't mattered so why would this one. However looking at the situation there was absolutely nothing like this on the previous ones. No nba suspension, no nhl suspension, no f1 suspension and now maybe euroleague and champions league as well.

I do not know what to think about this anymore but I think this virus is actually getting to a level where it is actually dangerous to people. Maybe this one was unexpected and has an easier infection rate so that is the cause and I really hope cure will be figured out soon but it looks like all the sporting events will have to continue towards summer and not now anymore.

I wouldn't want to be too forward or anything but looking at the politics section of the betting side, the democratic nominee is still open to anyone who wants to wager. That means the democratic nominee is still in the works if you want to bet while it is getting quite close to finish line as it is. I wouldn't know who would be the next president of USA but I can tell you that Math suggest it is quite hard for Joe Biden to not be the nominee after this.

There is only New York left that Bernie could get, Tulsi is in it just for the fun of it and has no chance and Joe would probably get all the other mid states as well. So I assume if you want to wager on Joe Biden you will have a big chance to make a decent money out of this, probably gonna finish around 1.30-1.40 levels soon but you can wager now to get a decent return.

Can't believe NBA season is suspended. It is not terminated so there is still a chance that NBA could continue in a month (that is the rule minimum to come back) but I am not entirely sure if they will be. USA just closed ALL planes from Europe to land so there won't be anyone going to USA soon and that political decision probably shown NBA management how far the virus has come and they should suspend it.

It turns out Rudy Gobert also tested positive for corona virus as well so he is known as the first NBA player to get the virus. He is a healthy young professional sports person so I doubt he will be one of the people who died, he was probably tested early on and has been in quarantine ever since and taken care of with millions of dollars worth of expertise so I have no worries about his life.
3766  Economy / Economics / Re: Help of cryptocurrency in globalization. on: March 10, 2020, 07:15:23 PM
I guess it doing that already? Think about it, thanks to crypto currency money could move from any nations to any nation and any person to any person without limitations. If I want to send you 30 cents from Uganda to china, how easy it is do you think? I am pretty sure I really can't do that. However using some currency that is small (not bitcoin) like waves or tron or whatever I can send you 30 cents in less than 30 seconds and that's it.

So, as you can see I have always called crypto the "internet of money" because it is bringing people together and it is making a global currency right now. It may not be used as much as we would like to but it is certainly used a bit and that is certainly getting more and more common as well eventually leading to crypto being the most preferred country to country money transaction method for sure.
3767  Economy / Economics / Re: Blockchain enterprise adoption will grow in 2020 on: March 10, 2020, 06:28:51 PM
What we need is not blockchain being used by these big companies but more like blockchain using these big companies. I understand that IBM or coca cola or whatever using blockchain could be great for adoption in the future and I respect that, however what we need is crypto related companies, startups, business' that will use blockchain to showcase its features and really increase its capabilities as well providing more back to crypto community instead of just taking it.

When amazon and steam started to accept crypto that was to provide more to crypto people, that is big companies and that is crypto news, we need more like that, coca cola using blockchain to help themselves is literally not helping crypto people at all, zero help to us, that is fine too but we need the other one.
3768  Economy / Economics / Re: Start investing so you can quit your job and retire early. on: March 10, 2020, 05:36:45 PM
Honestly, this is one of the hardest things in life to do when you are married and have a family not because it will cost you more money (it will but that's another topic) but because you want them to live a better life and it is not just about you anymore. I can live with bare minimum life but do I really want to offer my wife the bare minimum as well? No. I want her to live the best life possible that she can live and that causes me to spend more money to provide a decent life for her.

Plus, not everyone lives in a first world country, if you live a third world country living even a decent life is very expensive, the average is basically starvation in many nations so if you live a decent life and go out twice a week you are basically considered rich as well.
3769  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think, India lifting the ban on cryptocurrencies will impact BTC Price? on: March 10, 2020, 04:56:55 PM
We think this is huge for the crypto world looking at the current BTC price graph.
I don’t know of this sure but there are a lot going on that seems to be affecting the Bitcoin price right now, and not just bitcoin but every other assets and stocks market.

There is Coronavirus fear and it seems to be affecting everything, the price for everything has been decreased to a very low, Bitcoin has fallen back to around the rate of $7,000 after making its to $9,000 plus and apart from that miners has been another case since they started selling out less of what they mined. There are still a few other things that may have possibly affected the price of Bitcoin and caused it to fall.
3770  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin a failed experiment? on: March 10, 2020, 04:11:01 PM
You’re kind of confused man, you first of all said that you’re already used to the volatility of Bitcoin and then you switched to saying that you’re thinking that Bitcoin is a failed project. If you’re already used to the volatility of Bitcoin then you should know that by now that this is how Bitcoin does.

When the price went from almost $20k down to $3k plus in 2019 you didn’t say anything about Bitcoin being a failed project until now that the price has even managed to get passed that level and reached $10k before this sudden drop to $7k. Some of you are quite funny. You just want the price to be going up steadily and so you can make steady profit, but it’s not like that, there will always be risks.
3771  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ⚡Bitcoin and Ethereum's Energy Consumption⚡ on: March 10, 2020, 03:34:14 PM
Uuhmm man are you expecting everybody to be mining Bitcoin? There should be those that are buying Bitcoin, because without the buyers there wouldn’t be those that the miners are going to sell their Bitcoins to; after mining Bitcoin, miners always look for buyers to buy from them.

Everybody can’t be a miner. Where I live electricity is costly and I can’t be a miner because I know how much it’s going cost which is a lot of money and I can’t afford that much. Those that I know that are into it have said it’s not profitable for them and some of them have dropped mining to join cloud mining.
3772  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which altcoin will be your favorite this season? on: March 10, 2020, 12:46:13 PM
I am certain that many people must have BNB at their top 10 list, there are few coins that share a place with everyones top 10, some people have some other coins some people have others but everyone has bitcoin there, ethereum there and most have ripple and even bitcoin cash, eos is getting there slowly but I think BNB was the first one to crack there as well.

So, I think this seasons best one could be either EOS or BNB, they will probably x2 by the end of the year and that is a great profit to make inside a year. I know people here want to make x1000 profits so they can get super rich and buy mansions and lambos but if you x2 your money in one year, that is a great amount. 100-200-400-800-1600-3200-6400-12800-25600-51200-102400-204800-409600-819200-1638400.

As you can see if you double your money every year, you go from just 100 dollars to 1.63 million dollars in just 14 years, thats right, if you start now in 14 years your 100 dollars would be 1.63 million dollars, so do not think x2 is a small return.
3773  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: After Ethereum, Which Smart contract platform is better? on: March 10, 2020, 12:02:51 PM
Well, the question is "after" ethereum, I do think ethereum is by far the best one and I wouldn't pick any other as long as I don't have to, but if I am forced to pick one I would definitely go with EOS as well. Once again, I am not really into it and I would rather not pick EOS and keep going with ethereum if I am a developer for such a thing, however the question strictly says "after" ethereum so if I have to pick one EOS even tho being on a huge margin difference, is the second best one.

Looking at all other ones they look like either super centralized, scammy, shady or basically just bad. NEO used to be good but not even used anymore, Tron is just... justin sun. So, we are only left with eos as the second best one in the smart contract platform.
3774  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [NEWS] Did Binance just help Justin Sun take over the Steem network? on: March 10, 2020, 09:10:12 AM
It is actually very sad for Justin that he didn't get to do what he wanted to once again. Warren Buffet didn't want him, his own team didn't want him, exchanges had troubles with him and now he got steem but lost it as well. Dude is basically a reverse magnet where he destroys everything he comes in contact with and everyone around him runs away from him as well.

Maybe he is not as bad of a dude as he lets off people think but he has to at least make some sort of effort to make sure his enthusiasm for tron is actually founded on something solid and not just because its "his coin". The way it is built right now, we just see a rich dude who made his own currency because he wanted to and plays with it thanks to all others who buy from it and does whatever he wants with others money.
3775  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does the bitcoin price go up and down correlation to the stock market? on: March 10, 2020, 08:44:47 AM
I doubt there is too much of a correlation but we can't say it is totally unrelated neither. Remember last years start, the stock market crashed like hell and then the price of bitcoin crashed like hell as well, then at the April or so the price got leveled out in stock market and it did here as well, now because of corona the dow jones are all going down and there is still some sort of drop in bitcoin as well.

I am not saying they are fully correlated and they always act together because they don't but there are some few times when it does and you will never know when it will act together and when it will not act together unfortunately, it is just a mystery to all of us and we only get to learn it after it happened which it doesn't help us out at all.
3776  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Leave crypto trading in lost condition is not an option. on: March 10, 2020, 08:06:40 AM
Well, there are people who make forex trading as a living or stock market investment as a living in some sort of way and there is nothing wrong with that. You can make crypto trading your income as well if you are too good.

I just think that it would be really difficult and would be very dangerous if you are not careful about it. Also when we are talking about traders that are doing it full time we are not talking about small timers, those people can't afford to live with the money they make, we are talking about people who have tens of thousands of dollars to spare and try something like this, I personally do not even have that much money for myself let alone to spare for trading, so they must know something better than me to have that kind of money to begin with.
3777  Economy / Speculation / Re: Value of technical analysis vs sentiment for you on: March 09, 2020, 06:00:51 PM
If we want to separate the two that is fine, however do we really have to separate them? Isn't the humans with emotions and sentiments that are building the technical analysis as well. If you ask me when a person wants to look at something positive on TA they have all the tools in their power to build something like that.

If they want to look at charts that looks promising they can find indicators and stuff that will make it look like bitcoin is going up, if they feel like bitcoin will go down they will find stuff that will make it look like it will go down. I have seen two different charts on the same day that showed different directions all because it used different timelines and different indicators, so it is possible. TA is not really that further away from sentiment.
3778  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will 2020 be ETH's biggest year yet? on: March 09, 2020, 05:29:50 PM
There is this "building up" phase on ethereum nowadays that will probably show itself in 2021 and not this year. Right now there is development going on and there are many other companies and projects that are basing their situation on ethereums 2.0 upgrade to staking. As soon as it hits proof of stake and not mining there will be a ton of changes going on that will make the price skyrocket but until that moment I feel like it is probably just building up to that point and not doing anything right now.

The real deadline was January 2020 and that is why there was such a big topic for ethereum and such a huge increase as well but they missed that deadline, it looks like they may not do it at all in 2020 and that is the reason why it stopped, the moment they give an exact date we will definitely see a huge change.
3779  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Hardware wallet really secure enough? on: March 09, 2020, 03:46:00 PM
In the end nothing in the world is "safe enough" if you look at it that way. Your cash could be stolen at any moment you step outside, your credit card information could be stolen when you are shopping, even money in your bank account could be hacked or worse when your national crisis reaches to a point they can get a hold of it and ban you from using it (Cyprus anyone?).

So, as long as you have money, there is no way you can keep it. Let me tell you what happened to my grandfather, he had a HUUUGE land in right at the heart of the city where I live, government tried to negotiate with him to buy that land from him so they can build a hospital, however they literally offered 2 years salary for it, now we are talking about one of the most crowded hospitals in our city and they offered just 2 years salary for that.

My grandfather of course declined, what happened? They just took it and courts basically punished the government and made them pay 2.5!! months salary worth of money, 2.5 months, it was basically nothing in the end, just a big zero for the biggest hospital in all of the city. Nothing is safe enough.
3780  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If Coronavirus never happened on: March 09, 2020, 08:13:49 AM
Honestly, until it moved out of China I was seeing it as unimportant as any other person here but since it moved to other nations as well and now the west is in danger of getting it, I can tell you that it might be really dangerous now for the financial world. I am not saying it is definitely a threat to economy of the world but I guess it is not a nothing neither now.

However, if the study is right (which usually turns out wrong but anyway) it is said that the virus can't defend itself against heat so the scientists are hoping that by this summer there will be no one with the virus. One of the reasons why there was close to none in southern hemisphere as well because their winter is actually summer and hot so I assume they are actually not getting affected since the virus dies at high heat.
