I agree, just have a discussion with some of my bitcoin enthusiast friends and this is what we don't want to happen to us, The $5 Wrench Attack.

In 2018, we decided to print T-shirts with bitcoin (BTC) logo and try to go to public places and raise awareness. However, this 2020-2021, we think that this is a bad idea as you don't know, criminals are always around the corner and you could be their target, specially wearing a shirts screaming that you are a bitcoiner, not a good idea anymore.

It's over now, Osaka win in straight sets, never give Serena a chance to even score a set, 6-3 6-4.

Naomi looks very powerful and her game is spot on, even on the long rally, which Serena is known to hold, was Osaka as she always beat Williams to the point. Perhaps Mother time has caught with Serena.

Here are the high lights,

A surprise to me, Tsitsipas win in a 5 sentence crime Nadal. I'm already looking forward to the surprise of the tournament Aslan tomorrow, even if it will be very very difficult against Djokovic. So i'm exciting

We seldom see Nadal breaking down after winning the first 2 sets, so I was wrong in my prediction that he will win and good work for Tsitsipas for winning. The Djokovic vs Karatsev will be next, let's see how long Djokovic can extend his winning with a supposedly injury.

Osaka defeated Serena in straight sets, and with that win, it's obvious that she will be the favourite to win in this tournament regardless of who she is going to face the in the finals.
3884  Economy / Economics / Re: We, bitcoiners, should buy a bank on: February 17, 2021, 10:10:05 AM
Unless someone who's worth billions of dollars do this, I think this kind of idea is quite hard to achieve. I know some whose accepting crypto through machines but still fail to do succeed. Exchanges are now just enough.

I don't like the idea as well, exchanges are good enough and they are now asking like a centralised banks if we have to take a closer look, KYC, with some restrictions when we want to withdraw etc.

So we don't need to have a bank, everyone should learn how to take care of our accounts and protect our assets, those banks are just going to take a cut from our profits.
3885  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We should not buy outdated and overvalued coins on: February 17, 2021, 09:37:09 AM
One of your outdated coin though, ADA is still on the top list of altcoins and making good grounds in the last 2 years so I don't know how can you call them outdated. So we can't say that some coins are outdated and overvalued when they are in the top 20.

So your argument is flawed in the beginning. How about new coins in your list and let's say moving forward 3-5 years from now, will they be outdated as well? And there are some outdated coins still in the market but they are undervalued. So there is no formula here, depends on how crypto people are going to support new and innovative coins.

Canelo: I'm Not Underestimating Yildirim, One Punch Can Change Everything.

Quote
"None of that [is happening], I do feel superior and I am superior to Yildirim," Canelo said to George Ebro.

"But I'm training like it's my biggest fight and I'm not underestimating him at all. I know this is boxing and one punch can change everything. It's not in me to underestimate anyone.''

Good attitude coming from Canelo, we all know that there are boxers who really underestimate their opponent because they think they are superior, or thinking about the next big fight. But we always see a different result. And I think this separates Canelo to the rest of the boxers, because of this kind of attitude and that is why he is very successful in his career.

Karatsev is definitely the biggest surprise of this tournament.
He also beat Dimitrov and is now in the semifinals. How long will this tennis fairy tale last?
Osaka won convincingly and remains one of the main favorites in the women’s competition.
I expected Halep to offer stronger resistance to Serena Williams and I even thought she would beat Serena.
Obviously Serena has prepared very well for this tournament and is chasing a record number of GS titles.


Yes, the dark horse and the giant killer in this tournament.

Osaka is strong in this tournament, while others are faltering because of the current situation, it seems she is enjoying every bit of it and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets past Williams and be the first one ladies to reach the finals.

All Russian Rublev vs Medvedev, and then we have Nadal vs Tsitsipas in men's QF. I have Medvedev and Nadal winning here.
3888  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC HIT $50000🎯 on: February 17, 2021, 06:37:17 AM
I've seen in WO thread that actually it is $60,000 is the main target this year and up this means we are still waiting for another 10,000 before making decisions and this will surely change the movement of market when it reached.

The options market believes that 100K is a very distant possibility and very few of the traders are betting at that level. Most of them believe that by the end of this year, the maximum upturn that Bitcoin may get is around 60K-70K. However, I am a bit more optimistic. Given the supply crunch in the market right now, a single trigger (which may come from one of the giant corporations) may take Bitcoin beyond the 100K level.

And $100k is not that far though, it will just be x2 so that is doable, and thing is that we have like 10 more months to accomplish and see it hitting 6 figure mark so that is really achievable. And as others have said, this is already an achievement, just one major milestone that we really need to see with our eyes and then we want more.

And yes, bitcoin won't simply stop just because we hit that whole margin, on the contrary the next stop will be $60k. As I believed more companies are going to join the wave of new investors.
3889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: February 15, 2021, 09:44:04 AM

For Lebron James, this amount is very small as he is one of the biggest earner in NBA, so let's wait if he will get fine for this.
Yep, he can pay up those fines without any sweat or issue but the impression of fans or people cant really be bought or exchange by money. Im starting to dislike Lebron after seeing this one.

This is not the only one, maybe fans have forgotten the past flops committed by Lebron, you'll see a lot of flop by him in youtube.

I'll give you one video that I found, by the way it's not mine nor I'm promoting this video.

Top 10 LeBron James FLOPS
Arent flop penalties are way too small? These should be increased up so that players would really be hesitant on making these actions.
Its never been appealing to look these incident on where they do been given out with some freethrows or foul calls even its obvious
that it was just a flop.

Doesn't matter if he can pay the penalties for flop because obviously he can.

The question is, with Lebron's stature in the NBA I think the referees are giving him a free flop and we can say that they are allowing him to do his flopping. It's pretty obvious that this is a flop, even the two players are having a good laugh at it because they know what Lebron did here.

Lebron should stop this, not good for him and his legacy.

Djokovic admitted that he injured himself

[..snip..]

His career is littered with evidence of his fake injury claims. We don't have to look any further than this same tournament last year and his miraculous 'injury' recoveries in the semi-final and final. Absurd.

I'm not aware that Djokovic is claiming fake injuries in his career. However, we all know that in the last years or so, he has a lot of these controversial statement in his personal life so I wouldn't be surprised if this is true.

And not that he won against Raonic and people saying that he is somewhat very though mentally, it's beginning to unravel the extend of his claims about his past injury. And yes, this is really absurd not telling the truth and lying to his fans.
3891  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How long do you think this bull market will run and why? on: February 14, 2021, 09:15:05 AM
The whole scenario is completely different from the recent bull-market due to institution's involvement. Whenever there is a price correction, they jump in to buy more. This might last longer than everyone is expecting, no one can tell how high can prices can get, everyone is left out in the dark because the market can drop anytime soon and when it drops it will drop big time for sure.

Right, there are so big players today, not individual but huge companies like Tesla who recently released the official documents that they have invested $1.5B in the crypto market. So this is very different bullrun, unlike 2017.

So this might really be longer than we expect, like the four year cycle, it could last for six years or even more as more investors are now going full crypto, even banks we hated bitcoin is not thinking ahead because of Tesla's news.
3892  Economy / Speculation / Re: When Bitcoin is going cross $50k? on: February 14, 2021, 08:36:18 AM
Actually we did reached another all time high at $49,125.11, so close and yet so far to that $50k. But we shouldn't be worry, we will get to there when we least expected. Just like this weekends, usually this is a slow day for traders, but look at what happened, it sets a new all time high and inching closer to $50k. So definitely, it's plausible that next week or even before the end of the month this $50k will be broken.

Right, that's a new all time high according to coinmarketcap. But I would say that we are not ready for that price, because I'm thinking that it we get to $50k, we might see another sell-off and profit taking. Not that I'm against reaching $50k, we will get to there but in the proper time wherein it is no longer an emotional barrier, meaning it we should or can hold on that price.

Otherwise if we hit it today, we will definitely see a drop, perhaps a big drop. Food for thought, bitcoin currently is good for long term investment, so I wouldn't put myself to see short term prices.
3893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: February 14, 2021, 07:56:49 AM
It would be a great chance for Terence Crawford to fight one of the legendary boxer in the world and also the world champion boxer, and also if he will be able to accept this fight it would be an honor to fight Manny Pacquiao during his career because we all know that Pacquiao was really a great boxer and also it can be the fight of the year I am clearly seeing s good match between those 2 especially Crawford has a good K.O every match he is fighting.

Crawford has all the advantage here, but this fight is winnable for Pacquiao. Forget about the honor here, everyone wanted to fight Manny not just because they can defeat him but the money that they can get from fighting him. So even if they lost they will have the biggest paycheck they will get.

But with Crawford, this is going to be a chess match, obviously, Pacquiao will be the aggressive and Crawford trying to play defense. But usually though, the offensive guy wins the match, so I would say it will be difficult for Pacquiao but he can win it by decision.
3894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is 100% faith on: February 14, 2021, 06:01:35 AM
His argument is flaw in the beginning, he already said that Stocks is also based on faith. So everything that involves money according to him should be based on faith. People like Elon Musk or Mark Z becoming a billionaire is base on faith as well, Lmao.

Anyhow, this is just one guy though, his statement might be controversial, but it doesn't mean that he is correct. Again, this is as a grain of salt.
3895  Economy / Speculation / Re: Who pays for these companies? What is the resistance point of Bitcoin? on: February 13, 2021, 09:38:12 AM
As long as the price range of 44,000 and 45,000 is maintained, there is hope of breaking the resistance point, the strongest support point will be $ 40,000.

This is a personal analysis and opinion. Please act with your knowledge and analysis.

This is obvious though, but there is also a possibility that we can go as low as $40k. But to go down to that level, it has to break resistance as well. Profit taking will always be there, be average joe or even bitcoin miners. The latter will sell if they need to pay their workers or electricity while the former like us simply sell if we have something to use that money for.

So this is just basic observation. And maybe a good approach here is to just HODL, just saying. So that we won't be affected by the drop in price.
3896  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ether vs bitcoin on: February 13, 2021, 08:51:55 AM
As bitcoin all time high battling to be $ 49000 , ether is also all time high in $1850

There are no comparison to begin with, two different kind of coins, the only similarity is that they are both prime movers, specially Ethereum in the altcoin market. Price? nah, bitcoin is way ahead. But they are good as investments, specially Ethereum which is giving higher yields year-to-year.

So in any case, if you are for long term investment, both are good and I'm sure majority will agree on me. Both surpassed their previous all time high already as you have said, but we are expecting more before the end of the year.
3897  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Australian Open 2021 Discussion thread on: February 13, 2021, 08:07:39 AM
What a game between Djokovic and Fritz.
The audience were beeing told to leave the stadium due to the new impending Melbourne lockdown.
7-6, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-2 in 3 hours and 25 minutes for Djokovic.

Yes, it was a thriller, however, Djokovic admitted that he injured himself and he is lucky to have won that marathon match. But as he is now injured, he will be facing big serving Raonic on the next round, and with his body not 100%, we don't know if he can win or not. Haven't check the odds though, but if the odds are attractive for Raonic, maybe I will put some on him.

@vennali - probably Diego Schwartzman really was not really up against Karatsev and couldn't get things go his way. Auger Aliassime also won against compatriot Shapovalov and will be facing Karatsev next.
3898  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua on: February 13, 2021, 03:03:00 AM
@hulla - I'm referring to Fury and not Wilder, that's why I said I compare Floyd and Fury for being undefeated because they are have the attitude and trains hard. But the comparison ended there because we all know that they have different styles and majority of us don't appreciate Floyd's run and gun tactic. We have boxers to engage toe to toe.
3899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tesla Bitcoin purchase on: February 12, 2021, 10:29:15 AM
Although it's very simply to buy bitcoin, but in the case of Tesla, it might not be the route that we are taking here average joes. They could have been investing that $1.5 b in portions, depending on how they wanted it to spread out.

And it could be OTC and it could be on reputable exchange such as Binance. And the proof is on the official documents they have sent to SEC about them purchasing or investing BTC. It doesn't need to be technical and show the blockchain that they actually did, it will just show on their official books that they have the $1.5 B investment on cryptos.
3900  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Australian Open 2021 Discussion thread on: February 12, 2021, 09:56:19 AM
What happened to D. Schwartzman though? surprised to see him lost to Karatsev in 3 straight sets.

He has a good run ending the 2020 season, and it seems he has a bad start in AO.

Auger Aliassime vs Shapovalov currently is a good match to watch, Auger Aliassime leading the second set at 6-5 but Shapovalov is serving, might end in a time break for the second set.
