Or will it one day be truthfully utilized for day-to-day life like paying for meals?

Bitcoin can be freely used by everyone which means they do have different perceptions towards it neither they would make it as an investment or would make it as a day to day currency.
For now we know that adoption isnt really that in global scale of things yet government does have different inputs towards it some do ban but some there are already accepting it.
Anyone can decide if they held it up and if we do go back into its own Whitepaper then we can able to read on whats the sole reason on why it had been created
which is to create a decentralized peer to peer transaction without third party intervention.
3843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino workers forced into unpaid leave on: November 18, 2020, 06:56:47 PM
People really think that since the authorities allowed the casino to reopen, they immediately started earning money like before. Some even quote impressive statistics on the growth of casino visits in October compared to September. However, no one compares how many people visited the casino before the pandemic and now. I think the numbers will differ several times. That's why they decided to fire their employees.
The truth is that all industries and sectors of the economy that depended on people spending money on things that they didn't needed have faced a downturn, it's not only casinos but look at restaurants, cinemas and any other business model that depended on money spending from people just because, and you'll find out that their profits have gone down significantly, and this is because people are afraid and they want to spend money only on what is necessary and also because a lot of people have lost their jobs and they do not have money to spend.

If you are just a regular earner or does highly depend on your job then it isnt really ideal to spend up money which is more than on what you do earn and how much more
into this pandemic situation where every cent do counts because we arent earning something specially if you have lost your job then you would really be having that
feeling that you had been fucked up.So the solution? Find some job or some alternative because if you dont do such thing then you would really be having a messed up
life because we cant survive if we dont have any money to spent.
3844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you read the TOS of a gambling site? Honest answer please. on: November 18, 2020, 05:51:30 PM
Most people don’t really care about terms and services, they might only read the terms when they encounter serious problems with their money stuck in online casinos. It will be very rare to read specially that users only care about their experience and winnings.

True!

Most of the times people do just simply ignore this even if it do pops out when you do surf out into the site.How much more if you do still need to click it out which
it turns out to be hassle into their part on doing such thing even to myself i cant deny that there are times that i dont really need to read it up
but in most cases where gamblers should read it up to avoid future problems.If you do experience problems that you are going against with the tos
then you would just simply scratch your head.
3845  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC is getting ready for 20k again on: November 17, 2020, 11:59:33 PM
Bitcoin will try to go up to $ 17000 and if $ 17000 is passed,
the rumors about Bitcoin will reach the All time high to $ 20000 will soon materialize,
now there is a lot of good news about Bitcoin, last I heard a prediction from Citibank that Bitcoin will reach $ 318K in December 2021,
of course this is make Fomo, don't miss it.

If I'm not wrong it already touch to $17,000, but the one I see as per CMC price these moment is at $16,983 price which is so close by now and for sure in next upcoming days we will see great things especially the the hype given by citibank is quite appealing and I'm sure many will look after this and might it will create a demand since I think many will believe on the words given.
FOMO would be always present in times like these so be careful.! This had been a common cycle or situations where the price is trying to raise up that high where these very bullish sentiments
do continue to pop out from nowhere neither this had been said by popular or known personalities or big companies.We are almost hitting 20k but doesnt mean
that we wouldnt headback down just like on what happen on the previous bull run. For now lets see on what would happen if there would be no huge rejection on that 20k
resistance.If it does break then people should at least mind on reaching 30k instead of 300k.

3847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lost more in the process to recover ? on: November 17, 2020, 10:59:25 PM
It is what it is but we cannot remove the fact that there are lucky gamblers. They gamble as if they want to win and luckily winning the jackpots.
In that case, they have recovered and won money too.

If they win it then lucky, they are else those who have lost in recovery will think back later why did they gambled again. Its worse for those who had borrowed money in a thought will win and lost it again will now may not have money to pay back too. So its luck which may help you to win or lose in the end for some games.
Those gamblers who borrows money are desperate but it's not a good move. Lose your money but don't lose others money even if you have borrowed it.
Several times I've read gamblers who have done that and lost a lot instead of recovery.
Most common scenario is that those gamblers will experience even more losses and would really be drown into deep debt.Its not really ideal to take a loan
to someone just because you are planning to take those losses back or trying to break even because you will definitely worsen up the situation even more.
3848  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The last time we saw 16K on Bitcoin price on: November 17, 2020, 10:19:32 PM
The past will stay up in the past. There will be things will never get back again into the usual thing they looked way back years ago. The last time that we saw Bitcoin's price at $16,000 way back 2018 and now 2020 where the price rises up and exceeds that price mark, there are altcoins that on 2018 that managed to keep up cannot do the same thing again this year 2020 like what the Bitcoin have done to recover. We can see the difference between Bitcoin and Altcoins when it comes to recovery but those must not be served into comparison for they are different quantities having their own identities. It is just a matter of demand, volume, popularity and other contributing factors that enable a certain coin to do recovery or just remain the same even after the years that have passed. The experiences we have with those shit coins will serve as a memory or lesson that we must be picky on the coin we will get engage with to avoid the same thing to happen once again.
Past would  really be past but people cant avoid not to look up on what happened wayback and presuming that it might happen in the present.
We have seen that those coins that had pumped out in 2018 had never ever the chance on recovering on the same way on where bitcoin is
trying to achieve now which do prove out that bitcoin is mainly being supported by many and alts would remain alternative in the end of the day
but somehow they are still trying to reach those ATh's but its still way too far off.
3849  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Will PayPal be a new crypto-exchange? on: November 17, 2020, 09:35:24 PM
Since PayPal just announced that crypto trading and payment services went live in the US, do you think PayPal may turn into a big competitor to existing cryptoexchages? They can also launch a crypto-currency trading desk as well, why not.

I don't see PayPal serious enough about the cryptocurrency market to turn into some sort of centralised exchange. The reason for this is that in my opinion Paypal added the ability of its customers to buy/sell crypto only as a "face" and to ensure that if crypto does end up handicapping the finance industry (which I think at some point in the future is inevitable) they will have a stand in it and won't be missing out.

Even if they were to adopt something like that in the future it won't make it any different from a centralised exchange like eToro, and definitely not close enough to DEX.
Having the same input and belief that they are really just trying out to be up to date on whats the current trend as of today in terms of finance industry
yet crypto is taking some consideration at the moment and of thinking to be their biggest competitor then rather than on making oppositions then it would
be wise for them to adopt it instead of countering it yet this is also some sort of marketing yet it do boost up once again their platforms existence
but in talks on become some centralized exchange ? yes they can but as said this will just remain like on that eToro.
3850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling could be used to pay for covid problems on: November 17, 2020, 08:59:18 PM
Yes, the government will not stop just because people will make sure that their economy can run well. Maybe people need to support whatever the government does and wait and see what will happen later after the government applies it. If that can change better, then what we think is wrong because it is normal to have negative thinking before we know how good the result.
The governments can be so selfish and selfcentered at times, as risky as gambling is, if they try to regulate it, possibly, there will be the demand for taxes, which means if gamblers lose, they lose for nothing sake, but if they gain, the governments can make it mandatory to pay 10% tax of their gain. Gambling is too risky for such in my opinion. There are many gambling sites that are better and that I can make use of without any taxes being paid. If this is the case, then I can make use of them.

Of course, the government can do that because they have the power to force every business that does not follow their rule. Taking a 10% tax will not be a problem for the casino because I think that is not too big dependent on their profit. Yes, gambling is too risky, but I don't think that the gamblers will think about the risk. So when you can use the gambling site without being paid any taxes, that will be good for you. But I think the casino needs to help the government in the name of helping other people in this pandemic.

Every business should really paying off some tax yet this one is the major contributors when it comes to taxes and if government wont ask out such tax then there would be no further developments that can be seen
on a certain country.So as a business owner you wont really have any choice but to abide with the rules.This isnt just for the sake for this new covid problem solutions but also this is a typical way on
having a growth on certain country.This isnt limited to gambling business alone but in all sorts of business that do exist.
3851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Values of Bitcoin & Altcoin are correlated on: November 17, 2020, 08:22:55 PM
The value of bitcoins has been increasing rapidly but altcoins are not because that is the correlation, you feel the value of altcoins is gaining the best momentum after the achievement of bitcoin because that is what happens so the pump and dumping of both bitcoin and altcoin will correlate. Something to be afraid of is that when the market trend is negative because of the big fall of bitcoin it will also make the altcoin market collapse, it's different when the decline in bitcoin after reaching ATH then at least there is still a moment for altcoins to reach the moon.


Many think like that.But it's not a correct one.Bitcoin helps other coin to shine by shining in the sky.When the bitcoin price increased and reaches the sky.It spread awareness among people.Mostly people try to buy a cheap coin and that lead to the buying of altcoin.
You got the point but majority will be sticking out on what shine the most which is on Bitcoin itself.We can really tell that bitcoin would always have  the spotlight but doesnt mean that altcoins wouldnt have the chance.
Of all the years ive been here on this market and trying to point out about correlation then it can be both ways yet it can neither affect or not when theres a current market condition that been happening
either bullish or bearish run. Alts tend to lag behind as always with bitcoins price.Some do go to the opposite way and some do come along with it this is why making up decisions on which one you should accumulate
and this is where personal selection would begin.
3852  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin penetrates into $17 000 on: November 17, 2020, 07:39:22 PM
Recent bitcoin price increase has been very parabolic with no major correction. That would mean that it is similar to the pump we had in 2017.  Anybody buying bitcoin now would be buying based off fomo and might be a repeat of the last bull run. I want to see some corrections here. At least 10% before consolidating for next move.

For people who had those kind of learning in the past are most probably selling off their bags at the moment and even myself did able to sell when it hit up 17500 which i can say a good spot
to do so and im also hoping for some corrections yet we cant really just have this kind of price rally or unstoppable ones because it will really be reflecting on how bad the correction
would be but i dont see that this current price will really be corrected that hard just like into those 2017 days where we do almost hit up on the floor.
We are almost hitting 18k and its indeed realistic on hitting up 20k for this year.

Quote
Yes, users will get reimbursed in full - all 100%! Save the date, we will reimburse all the remaining funds on Wednesday, December 16, 2020!
If Bitcoin continues to rise, it will be difficult for them to fulfill this commitment and it will be very costly.
What are they trying to gain from refunds? The reputation gained due to the hack will be difficult to restore and a lot of users are satisfied with the part that was paid.

It will be a good opportunity to see how bitcoin can change quickly and make gains.

There's no relation to the rise for being professional to their words and if they really want to repay then they will do it no matter what the figure it is since the people deserve to get what they owe from them.

But I think it's better to wait for the further developments since if there's nothing happened for this year for sure we cannot expect anything from them anymore.

It wont really matter on whats the price yet the refund coin was basing of on Bitcoin value and it wasnt on USD value.So it doesnt really have connection at all.
@Husires yes, reputation is ruined but as a business or company then its just ethical for them to pay up on what they owed into their users rather than skipping
and ran away into their obligations.They might not able to regain the trust that have lost or reputation but at least they do cleaned up the mess that was made.
Even they do close their doors then theres nothing that can really be blame to them.
3854  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The Difference Between Spot and Contract Trading on: November 16, 2020, 10:51:51 PM
Small traders like me get used to the spot trade for I'm able to manage when to or when not to trade. It can also give me prompt information on my earnings or losses which made me more eager and keen on my actions. With contract trading, I don't see any bad idea on this in fact I know some who use this but the risk is the same that you aim for higher profit but if you lose then a huge amount will be gone in your assets as well.

It seems OP shilling his project. I suggest to lock this thread and make your own ANN thread if you are a part of the team.

Contract trading isnt really that much a bad idea for someone who tend to engage with it but overall spot ones will be much preferrable but for those who do love that gambling-like kind of way
then contract or leverage trading will be your main choice for sure.This is indeed an obvious way of shilling out someones website and i dont see any wrong with it as long he dont
post up some referral links or similar that do violate forum rules.Majority does know on whats spot,contract,options trading.
3855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe NBA is rigged? on: November 16, 2020, 09:52:49 PM
I really can't imagine there is match fixing at this level. Those players who all earn a fortune in the NBA. then why would they participate in such a thing? keeping in mind that if anyone finds out, they could be suspended for life or at least end their career.
They are not really the one participating, it's the referees who are rigging the games, players don't know about it because they are just playing while referees are doing the calling, that's why sometimes there are bad calls and one bad all already have significant effect to the game.

If you do some backreading, you'll be able to see videos shared of refs calling and not calling foul that should be called.

They are in charge of the game, they say when the refs is with a certain team, most of the time that team will win, even how bad they are as a team.
Bad calls or decisions will really be a big factor on a certain game thats why if you've been a fan of basketball and been watching for a while and know the rules then you would really
be having that question in mind on how the heck they do call it a foul if it wasnt.Rigging up games via referrees had been already prove out and one of them had really
admitted on what the association is trying to do so.Rigging up games isnt that something surprising but on todays era where i cant see any games that
do have some shady decision calls by refs.
3856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it over for Binance IEO? on: November 16, 2020, 08:52:25 PM
The hype around IEO has quieted down a bit, but that doesn't mean that it's all gone and we won't see good IEO again. Investors have become more demanding and discriminating in the choice of projects to invest their money. And Binance, with its reputation as a reliable partner, can guarantee the quality of future projects. So it's not all bad.
Yes it is true, The number of IEO that is running today is few compared to when the hype of IEO is still on. Binance has always provided the reliability that the trader needs and the project they are taking in, Binance is what IEO projects want to partner with because of the user base and the reputation it has but I am assuming that some project that almost launches an IEO project become DEFI project because of the trend happening lately. IEO is not dead for Binance, The trend has just overtaken the situation. Investors can still earn profit from those projects but not compared to the IEO hype before.
As expected on when the hype dies then people will switch up to another one which is currently trending but it isnt really that right to say that IEO in Binance is dead.
Its still there but not really the same as before when its still the main talk in town but now DeFi is on the trend then expect that it will really be less but its still there though.
We can always check it out on here: https://launchpad.binance.com/#top
Neither IEO or DeFi thing then its always end up to our own discretion when it comes to decisions that had been made.
3857  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could 2018 repeat itself? Price approaching 20K and high fees followed by crash on: November 16, 2020, 07:51:37 PM
Miners are not getting ^less fees^ tbh and based on the current value of BTC, it looks justifiable. When we talk about miners, it's them prioritizing the high fee transactions which is why the low fee transactions just remain in the mempool and it gets clogged, this gives even higher boost and edges it up to more higher fees than the already high ones. Even if we try to send our transaction with a low priority fee, I don't think that miners will be mining it any time soon because big players are already paying hefty amounts in fees to them.

Wait!
Are we doing the wrong thing by blaming miners? Aren't some firms intentionally paying high fees to keep the bar up and make the end user pay more fees to get a place for their transaction in a block? Think it for a second. Why would miners intentionally do that?

Dont know why they do talk about high fees yet its almost on dust amount even the price of bitcoin is clinging up to 17k

Low priority
8 sat/vB ($0.19)
   
Medium priority
10 sat/vB ($0.23)
   
High priority
11 sat/vB ($0.25)

People are way too exagerrated without even trying to check out the real numbers.

3858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler living in England makes a $5M bet on Trump on: November 16, 2020, 06:51:54 PM
Yes, because they know Biden had already won despite no announcement yet.

Only Trump do really believe that he won the election, on this remaining days in his presidency, he might just use it in finding all the evidence to prove cheating happened and he deserve to have his 2nd term, but.... close to zero chances IMO.

In order to overturn the outcome, Trump needs to prove that the difference caused by vote rigging was more than the winning margin for Biden. This is almost impossible, because Biden won most of the swing states by large margins. He won Wisconsin by 20,000 votes, Pennsylvania by 63,000, Georgia by 14,000, Nevada by 35,000 and Arizona by 11,000. And since Biden is having 306 electoral votes right now, Trump needs to prove that in several swing states. BTW, I think he (Trump) will concede the elections within the next one or two weeks.

Yeah, that's hard to happen consider we already know how Biden had a comfortable lead, Trump just don't want to easily accept his defeat and even if he will concede in the coming days or weeks, I think there's still a need of an official announcement in order the best to be graded.

Other countries wont really make any word or congratulate Biden if this presidential election isnt concluded yet or doesnt have the final results.
Trump is just trying to mess things up and doesnt really like to accept his defeat not for the sake of the position but as a man he should
consider on accepting that people do most prefer Biden to rule out America.They've been looking for something new when it comes to administration.
For now its not really that needed to make up discussions like this yet its been concluded on whose the winner of this one.
3859  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Volatility determined by percentage of traders vs hodlers? on: November 16, 2020, 05:43:41 PM
Hi,

I saw a statistic online, that currently lists the percentage of hodler of bitcoin (holding 1+ years) vs number of traders who hold btc 1 month or less. Currently there are 64.99% hodlers of bitcoin vs %35.01 of traders. My question is, does an increase in percentage of traders increase the magnitude of price swings? If say the percentage of hodlers of bitcoin stabilizes in the future to 90%, will the magnitude of short term price swings also decrease? In other words does volatility decrease as percentage of hodlers increases? Is that why "bluechip stocks" are less volatile? because a large percentage of the investors are holding?
Understandable that price swings and movement could really be even more when there are lots of people who had been trading and also i dont really that much
on believing into those numbers yet its not really that precisely determined on whose been holding for years and been doing active trading.We can just base off
into exchange statistics but knowing the precise numbers arent really that the same.You had mentioned about stocks are less volatile then its expected
yet price cant swing that much if you do compare with crypto assets.
3860  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL ₿itcoin for Life, not for Lifetime. on: November 16, 2020, 04:42:27 PM
Most crypto users are familiar with the HODL (Hold On for Dear Life). It's a good thing if you can HODL. I want to say HODL for dear life, not for lifetime. There is a reason why am I saying that. During the last bull run in 2017, I had more than enough funds to start a real life business by selling my Bitcoin. And to be honest, starting a real life business was too important for me since I was doing a job abroad. But sadly, I was greedy and had been waiting for more bumps. Eventually, I regret and now I can't do anything with that fund since bought a dew worthless shitcoin.

So if I HODL for dear life, then I should sell it for my need. Even I would won more BTC now since there were many opportunities when bitcoin dropped up to $3K.

What's your opinion? Should we HODL for Life or for Lifetime?

We do commit mistakes and its just normal on missing out these kind of opportunities on where we can really changed up ourlives because of the profits that we had made.
Same thing that happened to me where i do have some alts in my stash and did pump on that year 2017 where i do wait up for more pumps and ending up on cashing or
converting it out almost into nothing value and that even do reminds me on how stupid and greedy i am into those days if i were able to make some selling into those days
then i might already have some good real life business at the moment since that amount is already too big for me to start.Well, shit happens and we should really learn
up from our mistakes.
