3821  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will dogecoin drop to $0.2 again? on: May 24, 2021, 09:35:21 AM
Struggling to return in 40 cents range https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dogecoin/

I think this will not be a good idea to wait till it downs 20 cents before buying.

Best to take it now or be sorry tomorrow.

Don't look so much at price range in USD, look at BTC, which is holding stronger. Bitcoin is falling like a rock and taking as usual the entire crypto space with it.

Not defending DOGE at all but it actually isn't as bad as it seems and 40 cents is simply because of BTC price dropping.

Definitely get more DOGE below 200 though;)

It's better to dump the DOGE now until we can't time will come that whales will dump, it will easily drop below $0.1.
The price at the moment is $0.323 with 39% drop in the last 7 days, that is something bad, DOGE is struggling together with the other altcoins.
I've dumped all Dogecoin I hold before it dropped too much, and fortunately, I didn't lose too much on it. I think it's hard to pump dogecoin now as it's getting more issue because of Elon Musk.
Since bitcoin keeps getting down, many altcoins are being affected by it, and one of them is dogecoin. And I'm not sure, but I feel it will go down below $0.2

That's a good thing to do rather than keeping it and you will lose more over time. No more Elon Musk news, all of that is just hype, and now that his reputation is already destroyed, DOGE is likely to survive, so expect a dump and be realistic.

Invest in bitcoin instead, bitcoin will always recover even if it's dump pretty hard and everyone is investing in bitcoin as the king in the crypto market.

I don't believe that ICOs are dead simply because there are a lot of poor ones, and there are new ways for IEOs to attract more investors right now; ICOs are just the beginning of blockchain technology. It takes time for ICOs to mature, so don't blame them. ICOs are emerging technologies in the world as instruments of investing linked to cryptocurrency, so don't blame them.

ICO will not anymore mature as its popularity is already over, I might be wrong but that's what I believe for now.
Can you name some of the successful ICO in the past 3 years that are listed in big exchange now and has good liquidity?

I doubt there are few, and that is my basis.

IEO is a new way to raise funds, together with a big exchanges like Binance, success is possible.

Not long now until some awesome new promotions!

Are you guys excited??!!

https://twitter.com/Stake/status/1396428232837246978
Much excited, because it was when the market is bullish we had the Million Dollar Race. Now the market has crashed drastically, so anything that gets you profit will bring more excitement.

Waiting for that promotions, hopefully, there's a promotion too on the ongoing NBA season, that would be awesome and I'm sure many would love that.
I am now using stake for my NBA betting, I just like the site but I have not participated in promotions yet.
3824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr on Aug 21 in Vegas on: May 23, 2021, 09:45:55 PM
I watch some vlogs on this fight and one of the vlogs I watched says Manny will win against Spence, and these are the factors that will make him win.

1- speed
2-experience
3-ring IQ (technique)...

The only thing that Spence backer says that he will win because he has a young body and he is hungry, they did not think how many championship fights Manny had and his experience is something that will make him outsmart his opponent.

They forgot one thing: Heart.

Manny has been in so many battles in his careers and he is getting better, plus he has the heart of the champion that can really makes the difference. He could be the underdog, but he can still win here by decision. Spence will win some rounds and so is Manny. Gonna be close and the fighter that want it more because they have the bigger heart will have the edge.

I missed that mate, thanks for adding, of course, that's why he is unique.

About the odds, I saw this one, https://en.as.com/en/2021/05/23/other_sports/1621767502_322245.html... and if this is true, I would not hesitate to take it, take a look.

Pacquiao-Spence odds and predictions
Early odds on the bout have Spence at 2/7 and Pacquiao very much the underdog with a price of 5/2.

If there's a bookie that are already offering this game, we can verify, but for now, this is the information we have, and I believe it's worth to share.

Same here, I would not hesitate to take that odds if it's currently offered, however, for me the odds look unrealistic as both fighters are champions and that odds seems has not respected the only 8 division world champion. But anyway, I would not complain if it turns out real.  Grin
3825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: Fury vs Wilder III - THE TRILOGY IS BACK ON !!! on: May 23, 2021, 09:30:25 PM

Sadly for Wilder, I think he will suffer another defeat. He was not in the right frame of mind after the loss and will not be mentally prepared to fight Fury even after all this time. I expect Fury to win by KO or TKO within 5 rounds.

Even though Wilder has a new trainer it will not negate the fact he blamed his loss to Fury on so many different reasons:
~

This is a bold prediction, especially considering that Fury is not a pronounced puncher - Wilder's number of fights and the number of knockouts of his opponents looks much more intimidating. As for the nonsense that Wilder said after the fight, then perhaps this can be explained by the shock after the first loss in his career or part of the show (although this is a weak version, I admit). In any case, it will be interesting to see what Fury has to say when he too is defeated.

But Fury or at least his team has already laid down the blue print on how to beat Wilder.

  • being the aggressor in the fight
  • be technical and let Fury missed a shot
  • then go heavier on weight and put all that when they are in a clinch.
Unlike Wilder who is only a one-dimensional fighter, he has power and in fact, Fury taste it already but he can take it, so Wilder is not effective against Fury unless he can hit Fury with a very good punch that would end the fight, but that's unlikely though as Fury moves a lot.


So in the trilogy, possible that Fury can get a ko/tko again.


I hope so, and I hope Fury will remain aggressive like what he did in the last fight. Wilder just no answer if Fury will be aggressive.

Only stupid people who still believe with this clown, to a rich man like him it just seemed like a jokes to him.  I'm sure after he talked badly about bitcoin, many people realized that he only trolling all of the crypto world.

That's right, unfortunately, people still panic and we can clearly see that now.

Hopefully, everyone has already realized and will not be fooled by his tweet anymore, he is pro bitcoin, which's good, but shilling on a meme coin like DOGE, I think that is unacceptable.  If that DOGE which is sitting at the number 4 in CMC now will drop, a lot of lives will be affected as some of that are the money of the newbies just blindly following him.
3827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Dogecoin reach 1$ soon? on: May 23, 2021, 01:06:44 PM
If Elon Musk can still help him get up with his statements, actions, etc., why can't he do that now? You need to know that without Bitcoin recovery in the crypto market, don't expect more increases in Altcoins, let alone meme coins like Dogecoin.

The simple truth is that Elon Musk has run out of steam. Hardly anyone in the cryptocurrency market takes him seriously anymore. Even if he tweets something about Dogecoin, I don't think that it will be of any help. When he put up the poll on whether Tesla should accept Dogecoin, BTC was trading at $57,000 and Doge was trading at $0.50. And see what he has done. Bitcoin is now trading at $34,000 and Doge at $0.30. I had stated this manytimes before. Altcoins can't exist without Bitcoin. If Bitcoin goes down by 20%, the alts may go down by 30% or 40%. Because they don't have an independent existence without BTC.

The gist is that if Elon was thinking that he can promote Dogecoin by harming Bitcoin, then he was 101% wrong. It just had the completely opposite impact.

You are right, we know that will happen anytime soon but it just happen earlier than expected because Tesla suspended accepting bitcoin, that was a bad move that resulted in a market dump, and now there's this china news that has a big negative impact on bitcoin.
3828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC price VS gambling on: May 23, 2021, 11:52:27 AM
Just don't mind even if the price is volatile as that's the nature of bitcoin.
How can you ignore them while the price is plummeting, if BTC drops 10-20% within 1 week? I don't think someone can't mind the price  Lips sealed Even many altcoins dropped more than BTC, it was a serious loss.


It's a serious loss but you also enjoy the benefit of making more profit when bitcoin pump during the last few weeks. That's just normal if you are gambling regularly as you will surely experience a bullish and bearish market, and you should still continue to gamble.

It will not go to the bank if a person who is into this illegal activity cannot explain the wealth. Launderers are financially capable, they have legit business to justify their cash inflows and outflows, so if one just purely rigged the game to make big money, it's stupid to put it in the bank as that would only give him trouble.
I didn't say that it will directly go to their banks if they procured an illegal money, it's not the launderers that have the legitimate businesses, it's the people that owns the illegal money that has the legitimate business, most launderers are only accountants and them having a lot of businesses is going to be difficult.
Regardless of who that person is, as long as he is into illegal activities and he put his money to the bank, that can be investigated and he has to explain it. We don't need to be accountants to gain knowledge about money laundering, a simple research would already educate us.

It's just a 2 points win by the Bucks, playoffs start is very interesting. I was not able to put a bet on this one because it's too early, I don't want to put a bet without watching it, this is playoffs, I'll make an exemption. Currently playing is the Clippers vs Mavericks, Leonard and Luka had had some good offensive nights thus far. I'll keep watching, I'll maybe put my bet after the first half, might go with Dallas here if they'll convince me.
3832  Other / Off-topic / Re: Now tell me if you still believe on Elon Musk. on: May 21, 2021, 03:35:09 PM
According to Tesla, the reason why they are not anymore accepting bitcoin is because of this reason.
Elon Musk says Tesla will no longer accept bitcoin due to fossil fuel use

But this article came out and their study proved that Banking system consumes two times more energy than Bitcoin: Research

So what are your thoughts on this, is Elon still credible that we should follow his tweet?

I couldn't believe how he could show that as the reason for this action. You are Elon Musk, there is no way that you didn't do a research about Bitcoin mining before investing into Bitcoin and starting to accept Bitcoin payments.

That's right, Elon just made a stupid mistake to justify his manipulation, now people know, his reputation will be destroyed in crypto. Meanwhile, have you seen a new price dump just an hour ago? I heard it's not about Elon, it's China cracking down bitcoin again.

Therefore my pick is Memphis +4.5, GL everyone!

Good luck buddy looks like it's you against everyone else. I don't see some love for Memphis in this game, it's a do-or-die game, but the crowd would love to see the Warriors be in the playoffs rather than the Memphis Grizz, just saying but I'm sitting this game though.
3834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 21, 2021, 02:48:53 PM
But Lakers have the experience here, that's there main advantage here. Scratch the regular seasons game, this is play-off so everyone needs to step up and hope we will see a good first round match-up.

I agree with you, Lakers might win this series but Suns here will definitely give the Lakers a tough series. What I saw in the Warriors game convince me to bet against the Lakers in game 1 of the Suns vs Lakers series, I like the Suns here before the Lakers will figure out how to beat them.

Sparing some crypto for the Suns is not a bad idea knowing that they are really aiming to win the series,
game 1 might be for the Suns while Lakers still figuring out how to beat this team.

though with the series the chance for the Lakers to win is much  higher and that's how bookies see that, tough competitions,
very interesting series to watch out.

Playoffs is more different than the regular season so expect more entertaining and exciting games around!

I guess as a gambler the best chance to bet on the Suns is game 1, if they win, just quit betting on this series as the Lakers might win the next games. This is my plan, I will bet on the Suns in game 1, if they lose I will double in game 2, and if they win, I quit and look for another series to bet.

Dogecoin is dropping. Will dogecoin drop to $0.2 again?
^ in the crypto market, nothing is impossible if it concerns the price. Today is the worst bearish crypto in recent months and it is possible that Dogecoin will be hit hard by the bearish effects as well and return to $ 0.2 again.

I have a feeling that DOGE will not anymore make a new ATH.
The likelihood of seeing it drop to 0.2 usd is more possible than reaching a new ATH again.

After all the mess that Elon has made, I don't think people would still follow him and the FOMO.
Time for other altcoins to shine now and bring that dominance back to BTC and dump the shitcoins that are just being manipulated.

Very possible but the trace is still possible to track them up, all the transactions can be opened,

once the request already granted the bank can disclose those information, if the investigating group are really keen in finding those
individuals to punished and to break this illigal activities there are many ways in doing it.
The thing is, there are also influencial people or people who can pay more to cool this issue and eventually kill those news about it.
Depends how smart and crafty both the launderer and the AML team is going to be brcause if the launderer is smarter than the other team, they will probably get off scot free, remember that our laws regarding AML is really archaic for current standards so there are loopholes that the launderers can use to get away.

It will not go to the bank if a person who is into this illegal activity cannot explain the wealth. Launderers are financially capable, they have legit business to justify their cash inflows and outflows, so if one just purely rigged the game to make big money, it's stupid to put it in the bank as that would only give him trouble.

This is just very heartbreaking to see and watch especially when your countrymen is involved.

Obviously, those players and teams deserve to be absolutely prohibited from participating in future events held. The fact that they had the audacity to fake and rig such game speaks so much about their attitude in real life. They really thought they can get away with those lame attempts of shooting and rigging the game. This is not only insulting to the game of basketball, but also insulting to people as it adds prejudice to the image of Filipinos, in general.


I don't know if it's not illegal in some countries, but in the Philippines, that is illegal as that would enter into the anti-game-fixing which is punishable by the Law. This is the specific law that I'm talking about. https://www.chanrobles.com/presidentialdecrees/presidentialdecreeno483.html

Quote

PRESIDENTIAL DECREE No. 483 June 13, 1974

PENALIZING BETTING, GAME-FIXING OR POINT SHAVING AND MACHINATIONS IN SPORTS CONTESTS

This is very interesting to see that Marcos saw the need to create for a law (with his powers as both the President and as a legislator) that addresses game fixing. This also gives a blanket of security against people who abuse game-fixing as it is prohibited by law.

Good that the law was already created but the question, was there people who got convicted because of game-fixing, I mean the law is useless if it's not strictly implemented, it's easy to make a law but hard to implement it if the government does not have the will or of the government itself is corrupt.

The mempool is not that congested yet, what is the feerate that you used?
5.20 sat/vbyte, i didn't select "mempool" while selecting fee rate, it was set to "static" if it makes any difference

The low priority now is 16 sat, that's according to https://mempool.space/

Maybe increase it to at least 15 sat and it might confirm.

I'm not tech-savvy too, I use electrum as my bitcoin wallet but I always check the site I shared so I would know what fee I would put, sometimes I increase the fee if I need to it confirm faster.
3839  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I see no difference between Elon Musk and McAfee on: May 17, 2021, 01:04:34 PM
I think in terms of popularity Elon Musk is much ahead to Mcafee in my own assessment. Though, both are manipulator experts we all know that anyway, isn't that right? But in fairness, when it comes to negative feedback McAfee was winning on this compared to Elon Musk Grin
But in the end they are both powers to influence the community in the twitter media.

Elon Musk is way more popular, he is one of the richest in the world, number two in this ranking https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/012715/5-richest-people-world.asp.

Everyone knows him, that's why his impact is bigger than McAfee, but we know it's just all about the hype and it seems hype is gone now that he drop bitcoin on his Tesla announcement.

He is more popular that is why he can affect the market and could destroy more lives when some users who took their stimulus funds to crypto expecting profit and then lose. They turned their cash to BTC so they can spend online and order products so instead of having funds, he made them poorer. 
McAfee took advantage of the investors who can afford to invest.
But I could not blame Elon for that as he is not really forcing or directly inviting people to invest, people just follow him, and unfortunately, they follow him blindly and that might made them regret it. In crypto investing or trading, it's the foolish money that makes the smart investors richer, that's the reality.

The Lakers are expected to win, they are a favorite by -6.5 now, I think the Warriors would play harder here and they can win in this game, I'm rooting for them as I cannot underestimate Curry and they might even pull an upset here by beating the Lakers.

So they will play together in the play-in tournament after all. most of the spectators expected that this will most lily to happen and this will become the most intense game in the play-in tournament. The Lakers should not sleep in this game because the Golden State Warriors are known to upset some contenders and defeat them in a disrespectful manner.
https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r/2021/02/12/b20826fb-7eb9-4388-ae7d-6a6d602453b1/thumbnail/1200x675/7110391e82c992094d913261dc3f4935/stephlebron-021221.jpg
I didn't expect this actually, this should be a playoff series to make it a longer series, but because the Lakers struggle late in this season, they are now put in this situation. What we are going to witness is like a Finals, and though the Lakers have a full and healthy squad, for sure Warriors will not fold against them. Good luck, whatever the outcome, I'm sure it will be an entertaining game, Lakers have to limit Curry and make Green tired on the inside if they want to win.
