Nothing in this world is permanent, and that's going to include Bitcoin. I'm sure it's going to take more than a dozen lifetimes for something so great to be invented that could potentially replace Bitcoin though.

I guess as long as computer and internet are existing the bitcoin will remain. So I think computer and internet are forever be.so for me bitcoin will be fotever be...just my opinion

Of course, Bitcoin will be forever, as long as know how to protect it, you can even transfer it to your kids as an inheritance. What's holding Bitcoin spot though is that it is the prime mover, so it can stay at the top for many years until someone replaces it. That's what human history tells us, you can remain on top, but we don't know what the future will bring. Maybe some new crypto suddenly emerges, then a total shift from investors.

They provide leveraged yield farming with huge APY, but is it safe, or the risk to have your position liquidated is high?

Nothing is safe is crypto, people behind can exit scam, and it is open to the hackers. Of course, there's a lot of competition out there, that's why they are offering huge APY. So better yet DYOR. Or just stick to those yield farming that has somewhat established their reputation in the last couple of years. Big rewards=big risk. So if you are not a risk taker, then better stay out and go for other alternatives, IMHO.

^^ Yeah, Facebook is the only source for this to watch the fight live.

However, when it's about to start, the stream suddenly went offline, I don't know if FB takes it down, or the streamer or it is because there's too much views that the connection disconnects.

Goodluck to your bet, I haven't decided yet in this fight in Loma can KO Nakatani or if the fight will go 12 rounds.
3765  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will other countries adopt Bitcoin as legal tender after El Salvador's recent mo on: June 26, 2021, 02:26:39 AM
El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. In a time where Fiat currencies are devaluing because of inflation, this is a pretty smart move. It's no secret that cryptocurrencies are becoming extremely popular in third-world countries. If this keeps up, Bitcoin may be able to destroy Fiat in its entirety.

Not really sure if Bitcoin will destroy Fiat though.

Now, it's only a matter of time before other countries follow suit in adopting Bitcoin as legal tender. It's yet the time where a developed country hasn't adopted Bitcoin as legal tender. The United States, The United Kingdom, and other powerful countries still rely on Fiat. Imagine what will happen if they decide to abandon Fiat in favor of Bitcoin. It would decentralize the global economy.

I don't see these powerful countries adopting Bitcoin just like what third countries are doing or would do in the future. They are so powerful that they won't allow Bitcoin to be the global currency.

Do you think other countries will follow El Salvador's decision of adopting Bitcoin as legal tender? If not, why? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Smiley

If El Salvador becomes successful then they why? But I'm seeing Central America or Africa nations who are under developed or third world countries will dig their hands and used as legal tender, but they should also be ready for the consequences from IMF or even WB.

3767  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin dump below $30,000 this week? on: June 25, 2021, 02:56:09 AM
it's still very scary to see Bitcoin price movements on the weekend, yes this is because some traditional markets close,
and make whales unable to contribute to the market, as a result many people do fake buy and sell, and volatility goes up,
of course this will affect the trend of Bitcoin in the market, don't be fooled

Bitcoin investments always make sleepless nights, especially those who buy when the price $60k, because there is a lot of speculation that the bitcoin price is $100k, unfortunately the market is correcting so that it is only 50% of the highest price. I hope it doesn't take long like the trend of 2017.

And as a Bitcoin investors, you should know that risk involved as the market is very volatile.

But if you bought at the price of $60,000, then you just need to HODL as if you sell, you will obviously lost 50% of your investments already.

I'm not really sure what trend you are referring in 2017, but during that time there's also a lot of ups and downs and eventually reaching a all time high in December. So it might be same or not at the end of this year.

Not to burst the bubble, but this is going to be artificial internet traffic?

And how it will help or pump the price of Bitcoin. Of course we love and welcome what El Salvador has done by legally accepting BTC. But it will be better to see natural and organic searches or spike in El Salvador.

Thiem give up in the first round in the first set (Mallorca Open), he have a wrist injury (felt pain). Would be the 2nd cancellation for Wimbledon after Nadal. 2 of the TOP 5 would already be missing. It's a shame, Nadal has already canceled the Olympic Games.
Thiem has not cancelled Wimbeldon yet, he is trying to recover in time to play. Would hate if he cancels as well.

It seems like Djokovic will have his draw wide open for another grans slam. Maybe Medvedev can make it interesting. I am expecting Rublev, Humbert and Cilic to do well this year. And of course I did not mention Tsitisipas but I don't remember him playing well on grass. Have to see him perform first.

Tsitsipas doesn't play well in grass, so it will be a surprised to see him even in the quarter finals.

But yeah, Djokovic path's is clear, unless he make another silly mistakes of hitting the umpire or something, his chances are very high right now to win the Wimbledon. I don't see anyone right now that can match him mentality in closing matches. But who knows, maybe we can see someone pulling an upset but it will be a long shot.

Well that can only stop Djokovic currently. But now at wimbledon we will have a full hawk eye system so no more linesmen. Thats a good sign,just watched Djokovic in Mallorca playing doubles looks really good on grass and just reached the final

Thanks for the info. And now that Thiem has officially not participating, Djokovic is going to be the favorite to win Wimbledon.

Anyone though betting on the qualifiers, of course the names are not very familiar, but I found out, Mackenzie McDonald, that time when I look at the first set, he was like @2.x underdog, lost the first two sets then comeback and won the last three. Unfortunately, didn't pull the trigger on him, could have been juicy odds after the two sets lost.
3770  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Nakatani June 26 on: June 25, 2021, 12:59:31 AM
You can obviously see the height difference, but you can see the Loma is somewhat measuring the distance already, hehehe. No trash talking because of the language barrier, but we all know that Loma doesn't trash talk unless you start it. And Loma says he want to get another crack at Teofimo Lopez.

I think there's mutual respect between the two, Loma knows that Nakatani is tough, but he knows he has the tools to beat him badly. On the other hand, Nakatani is looking for the biggest career win against Loma, so he will try to put pressure on him.

Not sure if Lopez is still willing to give Loma a crack, but as we have said, when the money in the table is huge, Lopez might give in. Good boxing this weekends.

Good riddance, and RIP John McAfee, we can't deny his contribution to the anti-virus community.

But we all know his role on the 2017 ICO craze, but I'm not going to bad mouth the guy because obviously he is gone, so out of respect to him.

He was eccentric and borderline genius, we really don't know if it is really a suicide because he is scheduled to be extradited to the US and maybe he was afraid of it.

There's a lot of "you could"'s and "you can"'s when talking about trading. But the question is, can you actually? If you can end up by actively trading and actually end up making a lot more money compared to holding, then go for it. If you can't, then just hold for the long term. It's that simple, really.

Yeah, but for me before you can make money on trading, most of the time, you need to lose some before getting that needed experience under you belt, and then you feel comfortable about it and maybe starts to make money.

As opposed to just HODLing for long term, you just continue to accumulate, get a hard ware wallet and store your BTC for a long time.

Here is what Loma said on choosing a tough challenge on his comeback fight:

Quote
“He is strong, very tall and very long arms,” notes Lomachenko. “He has experience at the top level, as he showed in a (competitive) fight with Lopez and the way he was able to beat Verdejo. This is the perfect challenge for me. I’ve always aimed to face the highest level of competition.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/lomachenko-nakatani-perfect-challenge-me-i-wanted-face-top-contender--158615

As what we've expected from him, he view this as a big challenge, wanted to demonstrate that he is back and will get all his belt back.

@Sanitough - yeah, I know that we can't see an upset, but who knows.  Grin

He might be telling the truth but the bookies have a different view on the fight, they make Lomachencko the heavy favorite and that is more accurate than what he was saying. For all we know, he is just trying to market the fight and make people think that it's a fair match.

Could be, but we will have to see if Loma can live up to his hype on this fight.

Perhaps he see some weaknesses on Nakatani that he can exploit, unlike Teo Lopez who looks for big shots. Maybe Loma will try to break down down Nakatani and punished him every round until he quit, just like the rest of Loma's opponent in the past. Good marketing in his part though, portraying Nakatani as if he has a chance against him.
3776  Economy / Speculation / Re: Anything particular causing these declines? on: June 23, 2021, 02:02:51 AM
Is it our friend Elon Troll Musk again?

It's the China news again, government closing some bitcoin mining farms, cutting their electricity just to be sure. And probably if we see and hear another Elon's troll the price might go down again. So we can't do anything about it, unless whales are going to pump the price. But we don't want it that way, I mean no artificial pump because it will be followed by an obvious dump. So we might as well wait a bit, when everything settles down, in the next couple of weeks, maybe we might see $40k'ish or something.
3777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: June 23, 2021, 01:32:21 AM
Looks like this fight isn't happening and instead it will be Nonito Donaire facing Casimero.
https://www.boxingscene.com/donaire-replaces-rigondeaux-face-casimero-118-pound-unification-fight-august-14--158519

This is a more interesting fight because it will be a unification and it is between two Filipino fighters.

Ohh man, i just can't believe this is happening. Unlike Mexicans, there is not a lot of Filipino champions in boxing so this is big news in the Philippines.

If this is the path to unifying the 118lbs belt then i think i would go for Quadro Alas here because of youth, that's all.

You guys believe that Top Rank got a hand of this?  Grin

This is advantageous to Inoue as he will only be fighting once to unify the belt, not twice anymore.

@Baofeng Japinat, need to change the title of the thread bro hehe.

Or probably lock this thread for good.

But regarding your questions, yeah, I think Top Rank has something to do with it, putting 2 Filipinos against each other before chasing Inoue. So it's like a shortcut, whoever wins on the Donaire vs Casimero fight, will already have 2 belts. Then obviously Inoue has the other two. So it will be unification next. So Inoue has all the advantage already. And probably Top Rank saw this opportunity and maybe push for Donaire vs Casimero first.
3778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mind-Country-Bitcoin. on: June 23, 2021, 12:56:14 AM
There will be Elon again, as long as he is still alive, he might be still here with his always "tremendous" tweets that will shake the crypto world  Grin
Every year will probably be a year of someone or something, previously, John Mcfee that claims himself to be Satoshi and always like that.
And now, Elon with his very influencing tweets. CHina with its FUD. and also the US.


It has to do with Elon's baseless tweet though, it's controversial that it shake up the market real bad in the last month or so.

For the Chinese news, they've always like to do with when Bitcoin is on the bull run, so we should get used to it. I don't know if there is a Chinese story line, but as far as I know, their government has been anti-Bitcoin since 2017. And now they are putting a clamp on their bitcoin miners. And the only loser is not the market, but those huge and mid mining pools who have been supporting Bitcoin (and making huge profits) ever since. Thus, this is what the government wanted to stop and control.
3779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Nakatani June 26 on: June 23, 2021, 12:11:10 AM
^^ Or probably Loma will have to start early, figure Nakatani in 1-3 rounds and then go for the knock out or knock down in the later rounds. In his last fight against Teo Lopez, he took him last 5 or more rounds until it was too late as Lopez has won many rounds already.

And again, he chooses to have a hard fight in his comeback, so definitely he wants to prove to everybody that he is back in this division and will win in a dominant fashion.
