4001  Local / Mercado y Economía / JP Morgan y "la baja demanda" on: March 08, 2021, 10:48:05 AM
Ya hace algunas semanas q se habla que el banco JP Morgan, q gestiona fondos mayores q muchos PIBs de paises de Europa esta intentando negar la realidad o haciendo como q no existe. Dicen q la "demanda de bitcoin por parte de sus clientes es minima".

Yo suelo interpretar lo q dicen en publico los bancos de inversion en segunda derivada: ejemplos:

 "Esta accion estara estable" - traduccion: "No te voy a decir q entres hasta que yo construya mi posicion. Para hacer "frontrunning" ya estoy yo.

"Hay q mantener la posicion en la accion XYZ" - traduccion: "Estoy deshaciendo mi posicion, espera q acabe q me bajas el precio".

"Esta accion ABC lo va petar, compra todo precio objetivo 1000" - traduccion: "Ya tengo mi posicion construida, ahora vas y compras para q suba el precio y yo pueda decir a mis clientes q su inversion ha subido".

Con lo q si me quedo es con el hecho de q hablan de ello, y eso significa q algo andan haciendo.

...Esto no califica como una cita...

Pues nada, luego me explicas q es para ti una cita. Mientras tanto, ahi va otra cita (o no cita, segun):

«Nunca interrumpas a tu enemigo mientras está cometiendo un error.» - Napoleon

Aunque no es un personaje especialmente querido, tampoco se discute q tuviera un don para la tactica, sobre todo en situaciones en las q hay q dirigir miles de personas en un corto plazo y el resultado va a ser determinante para el futuro. Saber ver el error es un talento, aunque con todo el positivismo q hay en el mundo parece q ver errores, decir q no y punto y ser un poco cabron cuando es necesario no se puede llevar a los libros de autoayuda.

4003  Local / Español (Spanish) / Re: Los cajeros ATM Bitcoin ya superan las 6.000 unidades en activo on: March 08, 2021, 12:20:03 AM
En general hay vientos en contra de todo lo que sea manejar el dinero fisicamente. Los cajeros pueden aportar algo precisamente cuando uno quiere intercambiar de forma anonima porque con las carteras cripto y el pago contactless con moviles o las tarjetas con saldo en cripto se hace innecesario pasar por el dinero fisico. Sin embargo es justamente el rembolso fisico lo q va a verse bajo el ataque del regulador.

Para mi, una curiosiad q existan y mi prediccion es que tanto los cajeros BTC y los demas van mas a decrecer q a crecer en general.

Casi un clickbait eh? Es para picar la curiosidad, luego ya explico q no es conveniente pensar así.

If you stay hydrated, then mucociliary clearance should handle that.

Just go to a hospital. You will see low-risk in action by yourself and you can stress-test your own "mucus" theory. A cat like you should be able to sneak by the back door.

Bien visto. A ver, es una subasta, supongo q la cifra habra ido subiendo, incluso si el nivel es ya francamente absurdo  Grin  El debate de fondo es hasta q punto los pujadores son visionarios o simplemente tienen mas dinero del q una persona puede gestionar sin tender a hacer el g*lipoy**


Llegamos a un punto de locura, donde cuando a uno le sobra dinero, bitcoins, o lo que sea, entramos en un dinamismo yupi versión 3.0…


Lo cual me lleva a q los modelos de negocio exitosos en este campo consisten en crear la ocasion mas extravangante posible para gastar el dinero, sin q por ello el receptor obtenga valor ninguno.

Hi, I am surprised that this question raised so many questions, but I guess I did not make it clear, so

No it is no a broker, it is a service that will make bet on your behalf when they think that the odds are very much in your favour.
No, it is not betting for fun, it is betting for profit, so houses do not like it. They will ban your account if they find out.
Yes these services exists although I am not going to link the one I know because I think betting should be fair. I do not use it.

I am just interested in knowing how widespread this is, and for the answers it seems that not a lot. Which is good.

although the houses obviously close any account that looks suspicious.

Just like that. If they think your bets are on a pattern and not casual they ban the account and user.
4009  Other / Off-topic / Re: Corruption and Sports on: March 07, 2021, 11:53:50 AM
There are some countries and some sports in which you can give corruption and rigging for granted. For example, boxing during 90's in the USA was clearly a politics questions. The sums involved were so high and it is so easy to make a loose look real that it is kind of inevitable. This of course aligned with the massive control of a few hands.

Other sports are more difficult to rig, because there are more players involved, it is more difficult to fake and the power is more distributed.
4010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CAN RIPPLE SURVIVE? on: March 07, 2021, 11:49:04 AM
Ripple (XRP) has been suffering series of hindrances from regulatory body (The US SEC) since late last year...



I really hope it doesn't. As a centralised project, it has been drawing energy and money from the community and dumping it into a the companies own marketing and product strategy that offers nothing to the holders of the coin. Ripple is everything that is wrong with crypto, with the only merit of being early on the race.

I really hope that they give way to truly value-adding projects.
4011  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which One of This Features of a Coin Would Make You Invest Your Time and Money? on: March 07, 2021, 11:45:47 AM
None. You are just not getting the point of investing (long term) in any crypto. It is not about attributes, it is about the people and talent that are committed to it and the community that is backing it. And I am not talking about a team of part-timers that do not believe in what they are doing of a community that has been bought by incentivising telegram groups. This is what matters:

a) A good idea that really adds value to a world saturated with shitcoins.
b) Backed up by respectable organisations, preferably old and big guys.
c) A committed team that shows constant development, versions, bug fixing and a kick-ass GitHub repository.
d) A community that has something to gain from the project, is large enough and is aware.

This is why it is so difficult to actually build a good project.

...

#1  Difficulty identifying opportunity  There are many opportunities in crisis.

#2  Outdated or inaccurate ideas of how to make money  He recommends renting rather than buying a house and questioning traditional ideas on how to make money.

#3  No plan  This item does not need much clarification.

...

Full agreement on the diagnose of this three main points, and I think that these can be summed up as simple unreadiness. if you are ready, you will have a plan, if your are thinking and working the opportunity will meet you prepared and if things go south, you will be able to resist on your strength. There are also a number of good advices that could be built on top, but these remind me of a few well know advices from exceedingly  successful people of different trades:

1) Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

2) If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die. - Warren Buffet

3) “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” - Seneca (yep, the Roman guy)

4) "The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him" - Sun Tzu, The Art of War

5) “Without an opportunity, their abilities would have been wasted, and without their abilities, the opportunity would have arisen in vain.” - Niccolo Machiavelli
4013  Other / Meta / Shame question - links in signature on: March 07, 2021, 10:56:23 AM
I am a bit ashamed of asking this from a Hero rank, but I just want to make sure that I have read all applicable rules and understood these correctly. I would like to use my signature to link to a few books, crypto related, in a on-line sales service. This is a legit service and I would be acting just as a lead generator.

Is this allowed? Any restrictions or limits?
4014  Economy / Economics / Economics of perpetual poverty - R. Kiyosaky and the dude on the street on: March 07, 2021, 10:49:24 AM
I am not a great fan of Robert Kiyosaky, who many people will know for his best-seller "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", particularly when it comes to his continuous boostering of Real State as an investment and his simplistic approach to "good debt" and "bad debt", ignoring leverage and risks. However there is something to be said about the basic principles of poverty and "richness" that are the background of his discourse.

I recon that, at first, when I listened to his audios, a million years ago, me and my usual cynism just could not take it seriously at fist: it was yet another book about becoming "rich" (LOL), but at that time I had many hours of travelling per day and podcasts had not been invented, so I listened, just as I could be watching Star Wars Episode IV.

It soon became apparent this book was not about becoming rich, but rather about not being poor forever. For someone like me who has roots on a culture is (used to be?) conservative in the spending and risk averse, he was just stating the obvious: Do not spend more than you earn and f*kin* save a bit for the future. For gods' shake, you do not need 500 pages for that do you?

No, you just need a few lines:

a) Do not spend more than you earn.
b) If you are breaking (a) rule, do not use debt to finance stuff that you do not need and goes down in value. Yes, that's your car unless you use it for work and is adequately sized, that is you 54 inch TV and the subscription to Netflix.
c) If you get into debt, use it to finance you roof, not your swimming pool.

Please, add at will but this is pretty much it.

Oh, I think that I should add Warren Buffet's advice: use compound interest to your favour, not against you (see (b) & (c)).





4015  Economy / Economics / Re: Why not "COVID" vaccine passports on a blockchain ID on: March 07, 2021, 12:32:10 AM
"Why not "COVID" vaccine passports on a blockchain ID" - because centralized database - simple excell sheet with ID and yes/no annotation in second column is good enough in such case. What extra use case bring blockchain here?

Because you would need a world database, because the governments have incompatible systems, because it can be tampered with... I think you have not though this over.
4016  Economy / Economics / Re: Tweets as Non-fungible tokens (NFT) - Dorsey's million dollar tweet on: March 07, 2021, 12:30:14 AM
I'll ride this topic by asking the members of the community if they could enlight me on Non-Fungible Tokens. I've already had my fair share of google search but I would like to know what are your guys stance on it as well..


Just in case someone still does not know, NFT are those that are unique, that is, you can distinguish one from another. The best way to understand this is thinking a Picasso versus a USD. Any USD is like any other USD (more or less) at least in value, but any picture is unique.

I have mentioned my view here, but in essence, it makes sense in videogames and electronic property where ownership has an utility (e.g. Decentraland, etc...), otherwise (e.g. gifs and tweets) makes little sense to me.
4017  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Change my mind: NFTs are a fad on: March 07, 2021, 12:17:11 AM
I published this on another thread, but I think is worth noting here that you can now NFTize a tweet and sell it. Currently there is one at 2 Million USD., but there are a number of other "cheaper" tweets.

My take on this is that it is going to far. I think NTFs have a space in the digital world, mostly in games, where these items do have an economic value linked to some type of use, as opposed to a "tweet" that anyone can see and has not other use than being read, which can anyway be done in tweeter.
4018  Local / Español (Spanish) / Subastando tweets - El primer tweet del CEO de Twitter valorado en mas de 1M USD on: March 07, 2021, 12:10:40 AM
He puesto un articulo parecido en la seccion general del foro, pero creo q vale comentarlo tambien en la hispana. El primer tweet del CEO de Twitter convertido en un token no fungible (NFT) y "firmado" por el autor del mismo esta siendo subastado y ha alcanzado la cifra de 2 millones de USD.

El contenido, "just setting up my twttr," Dorsey de Marzo del 2006 como veis no tiene mucho valor ni es una gran proclamacion de intenciones por parte de este emprendedor q ha llevado a Twetter hasta donde esta hoy, pero supongo q es el hecho de capturar digitalmente un momento de la historia lo que hace interesante este formato.
4019  Local / Mercado y Economía / Re: El Metro de Caracas acepta criptomonedas para la compra de tarjetas inteligentes on: March 07, 2021, 12:03:03 AM
Mientras muchos gobiernos lo ven como amenaza, Venezuela lo ve como oportunidad. Es curioso porque otros paises con una situacion economica bastante estropeada tambien estan tomando la iniciativa para usar bitcoin a su favor. Por ejemplo, Iran esquivando sanciones mediante la mineria y las transacciones de bitcoin.

A dia de hoy hay dos formas de verlo: paises q simplemente no lo entienden, les asusta y lo prohiben (Nigeria) o paises q lo aprovechan incluso a nivel estatal.

Las jurisdicciones mas permisivas en verde (cointelegraph) suelen ser las que tienen una legislacion, aunque sea dura, que rodea las criptodivisas.



4020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Services of betting on your behalf on: March 06, 2021, 11:54:15 PM
Hi everyone, I read some rumours of companies or groups offering services of betting on your behalf on matches in which the betting house got, for whatever reason, their odds wrong. A friend told me that he was successful in doubling his money, although the houses obviously close any account that looks suspicious. Do you guys know any of these services?
