Sometimes I wonder where are heading in the future with all these developments on every field,for the better and happier life or just lazy life.Few years back mobiles were used for reaching the people from long distance but today it is everything and almost we are not caring anyone who is even sit next to us while we are using the mobiles.Just talk about it guys,if you have any ideas about where it leads us to.

Lazy life is not a valid point. Just see all these years that technological development has come, we are more busy than before lol.
New technological advances brings us an easier life and it let us discover and savor needs that we couldn't do before. Maybe we are using our mobiles more than before, but could you ever think that you can work from your mobile when you are hundreds of km away from your office without any problem?

I really think this trade war going on is an opportunity for us all who believe in a decentralized world, can start promoting blockchain technology. And I mean talking about it everywhere. News, e-magazines, etc. Blockchain  can solve all of those problems. All it needs is recognition.

This trade war between these two strong economics will not gonna help us.
It would be better is one small economic will be restricted and then they are going to find another options in order to get rid of these barriers. Then the decentralized ecosystem would make sense. China and the US have strong allies thus a decentralized ecosystem is not necessary for them.
3963  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-05-21] You may need to provide a blood sample to withdraw btc from HitBTC on: May 21, 2019, 05:21:52 PM
The headline is exaggerated but it seems like its now extremely difficult for you to withdraw your Bitcoin from BTC since you'd have to provide the source of the fund's report with a description of all your actions such your purchases, exchanges, transfers etc. all with screenshots and in order. Does it seem like to be an exit scam now?

As quote from the article:

Quote
Looks like HitBTC have decided to go full scammer, and are stealing balances of users (including me). Probably a good idea to get anything you have there off, and take care not to use. They are locking accounts and making unreasonable demands for private information, which many people *can’t* provide even if they wanted to. And when you don’t / can’t comply, they just keep your Bitcoins instead of closing your account and sending them to you.


Read more about it here

That's an interesting case but right now we can't reach any consensus about what they are trying to do with this withdrawal regulation.
Maybe they have tracked that some stolen funds are into HitBTC and they try to discourage hackers on withdrawing them? Or track them?
The results are going to be evident in some months where we will have the data of how this worked so far.

I'm all about banning guns. But, unfortunately, these are deeply engrained in America's society. I came across this article that talks about using blockchain to keep track of gun sales etc.

https://cryptotradernews.com/insights/the-president-wont-touch-it-politicians-ignore-it-is-blockchain-the-key-to-gun-control/


Thoughts?

The blockchain technology can be implemented in every action that has to do with illegal activities or that they need transparency.
It can surely adopted and tackle issues like gun control or anything else that can't be controlled with they current systems. Politicians are just closing their eyes to these solutions on purpose.
3965  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-05-17] Facebook Registers Secretive ‘Libra’ Cryptocurrency Firm in SWI on: May 21, 2019, 05:12:18 PM


https://www.coindesk.com/facebook-registers-secretive-libra-cryptocurrency-firm-in-switzerland?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=coindesk&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Organic%20


According to a Reuters report, Facebook registered a new company, Libra Networks, in Geneva on May 2. This coincides with the slow roll-out of their internal cryptocurrency that will define the company’s first foray into blockchain technology.

Facebook Global Holdings is a stockholder in the new company and it will, according to Reuters, “provide financial and technology services and develop related hardware and software, plans submitted on the Swiss register reveal.”

Facebook’s march towards crypto has been slow and steady. The company’s latest move, the hiring of two Coinbase compliance managers, happened on May 14.

The Libra project has ruffled some feathers in Congress, as well. US lawmakers sent an open letter to the company seeking clarification on the currency’s purpose and implications.

They wrote:

    The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Facebook is recruiting dozens of financial firms and online merchants to help launch a cryptocurrency-based payments system using its social network. Last year, Facebook asked U.S. banks to share detailed financial information about consumers. In addition, privacy experts have raised questions about Facebook’s extensive data collection practices and whether any of the data collected by Facebook is being used for purposes that do or should subject Facebook to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Facebook declined to comment on the new company. Recent rumors pointed to a tentative $1 billion raise to be used to build out the technology.



How do we have news on that if it is seretly?  Grin
Maybe huge corporations are doing moves behind the scenes and this is the reason why the market is going up. Probably Facebook thought that it is a good timing to join the market and they start adopting blockchain technology by establishing another firm.

Bitcoin’s value in relation to the Argentinian peso and Bitcoin’s trading volumes are reaching all-time highs.

https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-argentina-store-of-value-outperformed-peso/


I really cannot understand why Argentina's economy shrinks due to inflation. What is the reason for that?
It is one of the richest countries in South America but still they struggle. For all these years and the many more to come Bitcoin will be a good choice over local fiat currencies.

Deloitte is a huge corporation that we have to give them credits for this growing interest.
They have created a strong hub around southeastern Europe that is in favor of embracing new technologies such as AI, Blockchain, Internet of Things and many more. And I think that it will continue to do so as long as they invest more.
3968  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bizarre Secret Files Released By The C.I.A. On Lost Ancient Human Civilizations… on: May 21, 2019, 04:47:12 PM



Anyone with a curious mind knows about this. Why was the C.I.A. even involved with this book though? Strange.

With Youtube almost all topics are presented and discussed. Maybe there was a risk this book could have been used as a way to demoralized the American people, the US economy, used as a tool by our main enemy, the USSR?
Economies & Society: this basic concept works because it is a bet on the future. If we were to find out there is a giant planet Earth Reset taking everything down... What would be the point of holding Bitcoins, or wake up and go to work?
Maybe it wasn't the 'whole' C.I.A.? Maybe it was just one dude who was afraid of that book back then? OK... But why is it still not the complete book in 2019?

Very strange. If anything in this book is remotely true then what is the point of creating more humans and creating more doomed politics and doomed societies?


Now I want to know where can I buy the original book, the Pre-C.I.A. Edition?

 Cool




It doesn't surprise me why they are involved in a book.
Actually they are everywhere and the probably want to hide any top secret information. Or maybe they hae done some acctions that were illegal and they don't want people know about them.

Boarders are necessary not to regulate and limit humans but we need them for spotting illegal materials.
Their need is to create some spots/places that would work as inspection places that would stop criminals in making their actions freely.

Ah a fellow City fan.  Where have you been?  Lol.  Everyone was rooting for Liverpool in these parts, been navigating the keyboard to avoid offending anybody.  Lolol.

Still, no CL, no satisfaction for Pep.  He's gonna stay until he wins one for City, unless the club gets implicated for some FFP rule they're being accused of breaking.

I think that he is going to leave the club this summer.
So many years and still didn't manage to win the Champions League or at lease reach the final with such a powerful team. There would be a lot of teams that will be in search for a new coach so he will have his chances to choose one of them,
3971  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin rises very fast! on: May 20, 2019, 06:17:46 PM
According to your analysis, what causes the price of bitcoin to continue to rise for now? Then what will you do, when you look at market conditions that continue to improve and also the price growth that sharply increases. Share your opinion here and let's discuss it. Thank you so much..

I really cannot understand what is the point of this upward trend.
There has been a long period of time that we didn't manage to have such an increase in the price of bitcoin so this would be the reason. Apart from that, there are not any news released about the progress of the blockchain development or any mass adoption in real use cases.
3972  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are We Going Back to $7,000? on: May 20, 2019, 06:05:20 PM
It would be hard to get back to 7k again.
There are many resistances that have to go through if we want to get back to that levels. Also retracement is going to happen easier if it does around 8k and not around 7k, so I don't think we have to worry.

Yesterday I gambled that Real Madrid is going to win but they dissappointed me.
They lost 0-2 without any struggle and I lost my bet. I hope that Real is going to be in a better form in the next season because in this one they were totally a disaster.
3974  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Anyone know why Rothchilds are selling all their property? on: May 20, 2019, 05:17:54 PM

I am not aware of the exact reasons but I believe that they are informed about something.
It was an expectation of mine that we are going to see an increase in the interest rate and I was waiting for an upcoming financial crisis but due to these move I think that it is not possible.
3975  Other / Politics & Society / Re: UK and Russia on: May 20, 2019, 05:14:03 PM
Uk, a typical western country, stills seems to be work out her ways to slap RUSSIA with bans following the poisoning of an agent from UK. While RUSSIA keeps denying the poisoning attack amidst other claims by the UK, it has come under the scrutiny of many western countries while forming a close tie with China. Do you think the UK can really slap Russia with bans without any consequence?

Russia is very powerful and I don't think that a country like the UK can harm it with their sanctions.
The only way that the UK can harm Russia is through their allies. If all of them pose sanctions to Russia then they indeed will have serious problems.

Former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger drop kicked
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jh4ejHmB6Q

Are those his bodyguards? I would fire them.
Anyways the kid that drop kicked him had 0 power lol.



Do you think these people have a chance vs the people when the power goes out?

Even if he had a reason to hate the former governor this is not the way to express himself.
He is officially characterized as an idiot that failed to protest about what puzzled him. Those people has zero chances if they do acts like this one.

Finally this shit is wrapped up for good and now it's time for the spinoffs guys. HBO are not stupid they will not let the hype die down one bit  Cool At least 3 in the making hell yeah!

They just made fun of us all these seasons. It was a ridiculous end with a joke last episode.
HBO just got the money and run without having any interest in making their fans and supporters of all these years to enjoy a great end... I am sad...
3978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 20, 2019, 04:57:33 PM
Lets see who will be new Juve coach.Maybe Mou hard to believe maybe Conte much more possible
So Sunday will be last battle for CL places
Atalanta draw was because Juve players are on holiday already
Inter is playing against Empoli. Empoli is fighting to avoid relegation won last of is three games.So it could be not easy game for Inter

Will be some changes in Juve i guess. Mandzukic is often injured so i donn't know what with him but Juve has to find some midfielders if they want play important role in CL

Conte will be a better coach for Juventus. I think that his playstyle fits more in the Italian league.
Mourinho has also shown incredible fit in the Italian league, he made amazing seasons in the bench of Inter Milan.
3979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 20, 2019, 04:51:42 PM
^  That's a 'come and get me' plea.  So he either wants to go to Real or Barca (maybe even under Pep at City?).
If there's a word that can describe Mbappe's statement from yesterday, that word would be "ambiguity".

To you, it sounds like he wants to leave. To me, it sounds like he either wants a bigger paycheck, or a key role in the squad (above the likes of Cavani, a club legend, and Neymar, the franchise player).

In other news, Sané could be on his way to Bayern Munich, according to Kicker, one of the most reliable sources in Germany when it comes to signings.

I don't think that Mbappe is a shadow of Neymar or Cavani. The opposite is more like to be happening now.
Maybe he is more in favor of a better paycheck but not the other way. Neymar wanted to join Real Madrid some years ago but now it doesn't seem like this anymore.

I was afraid raptors would lose this game too because it was so close, I really want this series to be a lot more close and see that game 7 here as well, bucks have been doing awesome until now and raptors had that game 7 with Sixers and the last second Kawhi moment.

I don't care which team wins, I like both of them but I really want that game 7 last second thing again, it was awesome when dame did it to OKC and it was awesome when Kawhi did it to Sixers and now with this series it would be awesome again, I think it will not matter who wins since warriors will destroy both of them, they can literally build a combined team of all players in bucks and raptors coming together and warriors would still win, so this series is all we have left in our hands and I want it to go as long as possible.

It was a good opportunity for Bucks to do the break in this game.
They actually seem strong to make it in the next game and I hope that he will do it, so that they will finish early in this series and get ready for the big finals.
