3961  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is better ICO, STO Or IEO ? on: October 10, 2019, 11:20:14 PM
All of them have their own advantages and setbacks, but I prefer IEO, it is better than both ICO and STO. It is more secure. According to experts from IBCGroup, IEO is a preferred method for the majority of investors.

Why is it preferred? Because IEO is safer than other options such as ICO and STO. So anyway, IEO is definitely liked by many Investors.
Actually the ICO method is good too, but unfortunately this method is used by many irresponsible people, because that is the emergence of IEO. Many people prefer this method when they want to invest.
Obviously, people are talking about IEO now and its the trend this year so far.
ICO is phase out and STO is not liked by the people and personally I don't have an idea on how that STO works as in the first place, I didn't bother to research when we already have the best crowdsale platform which is IEO.

Exchanges, especially the reputable ones helps this market to bring back the confident of the investors, and hopefully this will continue and it will grow like the success of ICO during its peak.

I definitely agree that we should focus more on adoption and the improvement of the technology. Price will affect our judgement, so, lets stay out of those and be a long term investor. Bitcoin is a system which is built by geniuses/genius.
A system that will last for good, bitcoin is really different from other financial institution and the price will grow more if there’s more improvements. Stop worrying, you might lose money from the dump but soon it will recover. There are some speculations that at the end of the year bitcoin will be high again, and I believe on that.
It might be high again but it will not reach a new ATH.
Currently at the price of $8K, its already high compared to the cheapest price this year, that's over 100% increase already and that is significant.
Of course we are expecting to see a bigger price but let change our mindset, instead expect it through a period of time like a long term.

Bitcoin has been in many struggles but it did survive, so I don't think the current situation now should make us worry.
3963  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2 Years of bear market.. what to expect next on: October 10, 2019, 11:16:06 AM
Problem always is how people feel confident and belief, but have to deal with the emotion later on.

it's really a problem if we are not good in controlling our emotion as it will affect our good judgement and we are likely to make mistakes.
Though its already almost 2 year of bear market but people who are already experienced which means they have witnessed when the market have struggled in the past and when it experience a bull run will never feel affected of what is happening as they are optimistic of the future of crypto.
3964  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why lots of people got scam easily on: October 10, 2019, 07:03:59 AM
The main reason is no knowledge on the project or lack of knowledge in investing in general.
Greed maybe a factor too but all people are greedy, most of the mistakes are coming on from wrong decision making due to lack of knowledge.

If we have lack of knowledge and we are eager to invest, most likely we will just lost in the long run since we are not studying what the project is and what it can offer to us, most of them think that investing in crypto is easy and it can gain quick profit, well, that's not true, we can see the evidence which is the long bear market that until now the market still struggles.
3965  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC/USD trading without Bank Account on: October 10, 2019, 06:31:55 AM
Bittrex has that trading option and I used that from time to time every time I like to withdraw my btc into USD.
I have a dollar bank account and every time I deposit, it will reflect in less than 24 hours.

What I don't understand on your statement is on how are you going to enjoy your money if you will not withdraw it to your bank account?
3966  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH Value??? on: October 09, 2019, 11:42:18 PM
Does anyone have any logical reasons why ETH price is still so low compared to its actual value? Isn't it like 70% of all the prominent ICO's, IEO's, STO's are all built on top of the Ethereum network? They require buying gas to run right? Wouldn't that create demand, and result in an increasing price for ETH? Is it safe to say it's being price suppressed? Or do I not understand how the platform works?

ICOs are the major reason why ethereum prices skyrocketed within the last 2 years. Now in 2019, there are very few people who have an interest in ICOs. Many people now realize ICOs are a big waste of time and money. thus, they prefer investing their money in bitcoin rather than ICOs or etherum. 

Also, please point how IEO has improve this year, it's the new way of raising funds and people are really investing on it.
With this new successful platform, it also made the market more successful as it helps to increase the trading volume on exchange that its listed.
it's growing in progress as I believe this IEO are still starting to grow, it hasn't reach its peak yet before a new platform will be introduce and would replace it.
3967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: October 09, 2019, 11:26:42 PM
I don't think that this should be considered as a historic feat in 76'ers basketball history. Not even in the top 10 in my opinion. Those two you mentioned is really iconic because it was done in the spurs on the moment.

But it could be a consider as Simmons personal achievement but not something that could be consider as historic. The Daryl Dawkins dunk that shattered the back board (pre-Shaq era) was one of the best.

If you don't know Ben Simmons you will really questioned that historic thing but I think everyone here knows the ability of Simmons in 3 points shooting.

Simmons is known for the unusual trait that a Point Guard should have and that is his inability to made a 3 point shot. It was 3 whole seasons without a 3 point shot made and that was rare. Cheesy

It's an obvious sarcasm.

Despite that, he is still having a great stats in points, rebounds, assists, and steals, so he is valued more on his defensive ability and if he learned to improve his 3 point shooting, he will turn himself to a complete player and that's so scary.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/simmobe01.html

and he has a nice contract with sixers so he will try to improve so it will be worth of the money

3968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: October 09, 2019, 02:40:36 PM
So it is a must now, if you wanted to really help the team. I guess when he say Kawhi made the 3's to end up their dream last year was a wake up call for him.

They called it a lucky shot but that's still counted and they loss in the series.
I really thought that game would go into OT and the Sixers will win as I bet on them in that series but Leonard was really though enough to beat.

He is an all star but he is not in the level of Kawhi yet, of course he is still young and he can still improve as he has the length but he just lack the consistent shooting, 3 point shooting is truly a standard now as even Gasol is a good 3 point shooter already and he was able to help his team earn their first NBA championship.
3969  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Altcoins ever come back again on: October 09, 2019, 02:25:44 PM
It is sad if we look at the situation of Altcoin on the market that there are no signs of movement or a good change, maybe the Altcoin season has disappeared or it still takes a long time to bounce back.
but I'm sure the Altcoin season will come despite having to wait a long time and I will wait and hold it because this is a long-term process that will produce good results and I believe the Altcoin season will come only a matter of time, which is not in favor of Alcoin.
It's what we should put in our mind because that would help us to be strong in holding.
Thinking of long term investment will ease our mind despite of the market dump, what we are witnessing is a long bear market but it will not affect us investors who believe in long run as we always believe that the market will eventually start to be bullish consistently.
3970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A cryptocurrency entirely dedicated to GAMBLING? on: October 08, 2019, 10:57:03 PM
bitcoin is not just for gambling alone.
certainly there is an already created altcoin only for crypto gambling.
bitcoin is the spirit of crypto, its function is inappropriate for gambling.

BTC is actually more appropriate in gambling. Its sort of a chip in casino.

When a gambler holds chip, in their mind its just a chip and psychologically they tend to bet more using these chips for its doesn't look like money and will just gamble it away which what casinos want. BTC acts the same way which btc casinos wants BTC gambler to spend it all.

It's a cheap that is not for gambling purposes only and its accepted widely in the crypto world.
It's quite different in gambling tokens where you can only exchange it in the site or exchange in certain exchanges, that's why people choose BTC over others because of its big liquidity and they will not worry a lot since its more stable than other type of coins, including gambling tokens.
3971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Errol Spence Jr. Vs Manny Pacquiao on: October 08, 2019, 10:30:44 PM
Lets crossed out Mayweather on the list.There are some rumors that Crawford would be the next opponent of spence? Arrangements is really
unpredictable yet these promoters are do changed out fight arrangements.Manny and Spence still questionable but since its being talked about the there might be some
light for it to happen.Winning rate? Young champions are capable but wont really be that enough.

It would be an interesting fight if these 3 fighters are involved.

Manny vs Spence
Manny vs Crawford
Crawford vs Spence

Either any of the 3 possible fights would happen soon, I will surely watch and bet at the same time.
But hopefully it will be Manny's fight before he will retire.

Well at least two of those fights need to happen for there to be an undisputed fight, this is what everyone wants to see.

Realistically though, Crawford beats both Spence and Pacquiao, he's just too young and fast for Pacquiao and too experienced for Spence.

They will all be good, competitive fights though, Pacman and Spence are certainly no pushovers.

I personally think Pacquiao beats Spence too.

Maybe if the fight against Thurman did not happen, we might think that Manny at his age now will not beat a younger and undefeated boxer like spence and Crawford, but thanks to Thurman and his aggressiveness in the fight as he cause some trouble to Manny but Manny was able to survive and win via split decision.
3972  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how to invest safely in cryptocurrency? on: October 08, 2019, 08:16:24 AM
Basically investment in cryptocurrency almost high risky without any doubt if you here in old people then i hope you was understanding everythink. But if you want take risk then go cmc market and search best coin top 100-200 which best developing team activity then you can invest.
Most of us here would recommend the top 100 and for me, I would not go beyond that if I will recommend for a stronger coin.
As its marketcap and trading volume increases, this means they have a lot of investors behind them and if they will improve its expected that the value will significantly rise, however, it's not easy during the times when btc are still struggling.
3973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: October 08, 2019, 07:48:34 AM
Honestly speaking, Rondo will not gonna receive much game time on Lakers tho.


Because he has a conflict of position with Lebron, when Lebron played with the Cavaliers in his last season, he was very effective as point guard and that's why he brought that style of play in this team now, maybe if he has a star player PG he might not take the position like the time when he was still playing with Kyrie Irving.

Rondo would not complain with that as he knows who's the Lakers boss, Lebron is known for his attitude that he can throw someone whom he doesn't like, even with the coach, he did that, so for sure he can do much to a player.

This is Rondo's best chance to win the championship again and probably will be able to get a good contract if the Lakers will be successful this season.
3974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: October 07, 2019, 11:01:51 PM
Lebron may not be PG though, he played point forward once again but they had Rondo so Rondo will probably play make more than Lebron.

If Lebon will act as a PG, Rondo will be playing as the 2nd round unit of the Lakers, which makes them a dangerous team.
We know Lebron can fill any position he wants but based on my observation, he is also effective as a point guard since he can drive the ball and just pass either to davis or from its outside shooters.

He ain't a pure point guard in my opinion and it's pretty evident when you watch playoff games when he is the one carrying down the ball. He will always try to force plays if not his only option is not to pass the ball but the drive and score a point, the whole point of having a team is absent when he tries to play point guard in this situations. Just take a look on this one on how he tried to look for a play but he didn't notice that the ball was already rolling out of bounds, I mean would you really be confident enough to make him carry the ball when Rondo is around?

Yes with everything on the line I'd be fine with lebron taking the ball up.  He is not going to ever be an off the ball player.  Rondo will run some of the point but he wont be exclusively running it.  He will definately run it when lebron is sitting.  That's the way it will go down this year

And Rondo has to improve his shooting so he can also be a threat especially in the 3 point line.
Rondo shooting last season is not good, maybe because they are still into an adjustment period, but one whole season is already enough I guess and we might see some good improvement this season.
3975  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2 Years of bear market.. what to expect next on: October 07, 2019, 08:30:17 AM
That will make the market find good altcoins and the potential can only survive the last wave.  This will help eliminate shitcoin.  Wait for the good news from the top altcoins because they always have plans to prepare in any case.
They have been shitcoins already so they have no future, but this long bear market helps the investors to choose the right coins to invest as good coins are still surviving despite of the significant drop in value. If we see a coins with almost no liquidity, then we can conclude that they could be a shitcoin that we should not invest in.

Its a lesson learned for me to not be in hurry when I place my bet.
In any type of gambling, you have to double check your bet as when you pulled the trigger, you cannot stop it already.
Blame it to the auto roll, lol.. they actually add that feature people will easily run out of money, but it's a given fact, we already accepted it since no one can win in dice due to its house edge, regardless how small it is.
3977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Errol Spence Jr. Vs Manny Pacquiao on: October 04, 2019, 10:56:30 PM
Manny had already enough of the beating and should consider fighting opponents level with his age but equally entertaining also.

Though we know its the best for Manny but let's admit it hard to find someone who can give that to him, instead of Mayweather.
I hope Mayweather will just grant the request of the people for them to fight again before Manny retires, although there's a possibility that it would be a boring one but at least he has proven that he is in this boxing to entertain the fans, not only to protect his undefeated record.
3978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A cryptocurrency entirely dedicated to GAMBLING? on: October 04, 2019, 10:39:25 PM
I know this is an old thread but gonna reply anyway. I agree with many people here that this is completely unnecessary. Most major coins are accepted by gambling sites anyway. If they want to produce their own coins, then they are free to do so but I don't believe that's going to make any big difference.
They are going to make a big difference if they can get a lot of gamblers to play in their platform.
In order for them to do that, they need to offer something different or unique that is enjoyable to play, that's what gamblers are looking.

First thing that we have to consider is that they won't operate if they don't get success from raising funds as mostly in this kind of platform, they raise their money through crowdsale, so that alone would say that they have believers who invested on them.

3979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice - A small mistake emptied my wallet. on: October 04, 2019, 10:27:40 PM
Sorry for your small loss, ...just learn from it, you are still lucky you don't put a big amount on your total bankroll, shit like that really happened, also did the same mistake in the past that's why I prefer to gamble in dice in a manual basis.
3980  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2018-2019 betting on: October 04, 2019, 10:11:03 PM
Bump, Since the NBA pre-season is underway and the main season is around the corner. I'm sure we'd some betting tips from Stadus, morvillz7z and the others.

Truth be told, i almost bumped this the other day, but at the same time, i didn't want to direct any of the cryptotalk spam traffic towards the thread.  Cry  Grin
Hopefully, this shit is over before the season starts.

In short, ill def be around here that's for sure, i wish to see the other regulars be active again.


This is going to be one of the most active thread again, as everyday we will see a lot of games to bet on the board.
I don't spend much money in gambling after the NBA finals because I'm saving up a decent bankroll in preparation for the coming season.
I would surely check in this thread from time to time to look at some predictions here... Thanks to you morvillz7z  and Harkorede  because you are so active here, and most especially to OP who created this thread, this serves as an official NBA betting thread in this forum due to positive response from posters.
