I believe that after the bad result for the US team and the worst placement ever in World Cups the American basketball federation is going to put some pressure in order to equip the team with the most skilled players.
It feels like the gold medal will be the only way for them now.

It's good to bet on them in the next international game, I think it's going to be olympics next and with great players like Curry and Lebron playing, I will be very confident that they will dominate and will again bring home the gold medal.

USA basketball team is the best team in the world, they've proven it many times, they just give other nation's a chance in this FIBA tournament and good thing they were able to take advantage a weaker line up of the US team.
4022  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shit Exchanges, an end to good projects. on: September 18, 2019, 11:40:45 AM
I agree with this. It's a hard for a new project to be listed on a decent exchange that's true but there are not suspicious exchanges to start from and when this happens it is a good sign for me. But when a project starts with suspicious exchanges (YoBit for example) it can be done with a purpose of wash trading or fraudulent actions IMHO.
There are still people who trust yobit, so as long as it has a great volume, I think it could also attract more traders and investors.
It's not only based on exchange as every has different experience and in an exchange, yobit could be bad for some, but there are people who are still using the exchange until now. it's already here for many years, I still remember in the past when I invested with Waves, IIRC, they are the one to list Waves but as we can see, waves still survive now because it's a legit project.

Great vision, that's the ultimate success that we will witness in the future, we just have to believe on it.
Government can make their own blockchain and Bitcoin could be the gold in that era, at least we will surpass the popularity and value of gold.

It's going to be the battle then between the centralized and decentralized blockchain but we know who will win since as long as we have the government, it's the centralized will always win, but, it's a major adoption if they will use the blockchain as that means crypto will also progress over time.
4024  Economy / Economics / Re: The Bitcoin Giveaway Project on: September 17, 2019, 11:02:30 PM
To help bitcoin awareness is good, but I think the path that we are going now is already good.
The government regulating crypto and this means they are seeing the adoption is increasing, the fact that Facebook is planning to enter the market, that's already huge since they can attract billions of users around the world to use their Libra coin and might also be interested in the entire market.

Our little effort may help but its the institutional money that could help more for massive adoption.
4025  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big news for BTC exposure and adoption! on: September 17, 2019, 02:22:16 PM
More exposure leads to more awareness, and yes, that is always good news. However, similar things have been done before, with questionable results. It seems like things like these serve more to get the crypto community excited than to actually attract new users to the crypto space. I could be wrong, of course.
No,  it actually attract more users and establishment owners to adopt crypto as well.  We accept the fact that not all the things that have done before it results good, some of them falls into the negative effect of the market.  But we are actually making it right in order to justify how good is  Bitcoin and it helps us. Bitcoin isn't bold to see its goodness but for us who have been involve into bitcoin's development we could see its role in the community and it has proven several times.
4026  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Sentiment analysis or Technical analysis, which one is best to make good trading on: September 17, 2019, 12:49:16 PM
If must pick, i will pick on technical analysis. Because technical analysis will be used in any condition of market. With that, we can do trading in any condition and make profit from it. Because if only use our feeling and not analyze because of chart when on a condition that we not expected, we can't do anything that can help us to gain profit or maybe minimize loss.
It is in our part to know which one is much better than of the others. If we are good in TA's it much preferable than of sentiment cause it is most important to do trading that we have some basis on the upcoming market flows, not just we feel it that it will go higher or going down. Most traders suffer losses because they are following with their emotions. But the only problem is that we all not been good in Technical analysis, it is really hard to make good TA's actually.

This is to think that not all of us are traders and not really be a trader if we never give efforts to learn certain tools in order to make it right and to have an effective trading experience.
4027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My gambling strategy on: September 17, 2019, 11:51:34 AM
It is funny how gamblers would spend tireless hours discovering and creating strategies, tweaking it a little bit once in a while, to hopefully edge out the house. Gambling has been around since the first human civilization has started and I guess the primary reason why it persists until now is that it is fun. But the second reason is more interesting-- because it is always offered. And why? Because there's always certain profit for the house.
The gambling industry is growing, why? because there are a lot of gamblers who are willing to have fun and to spend their money.
Whether we like it or not, the sad reality when it comes to profitability is very low on the gambler's part is very low, that's why we keep losing and they keep enjoying a profitable business.

Most of the gamblers are bias, we did not look on our chances, instead we only look on the possibility that we can win although that possibility is not 50/50.
We tend to believe that we have skills although we are not really doing well, but it's alright as everyone has different understanding in gambling, what only matters if we will all be responsible not to lose more than we cannot afford to lose.
4028  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Mass adoption growing or decreasing? on: September 17, 2019, 11:28:00 AM
Do you think facebook will have a direct impact on the adoption of crypto?
It's very strange to me. Facebook has its own intention to take over the demand from the crypto too and how you can say facebook is such an example about the adoption of crypto has begun?


Facebook is not a threat to the market as they are launching a stable coin, meaning, it's not for investment like BTC where we are expecting its value to grow. They have their own intention because they are seeing that the market is growing, and they can use the popularity of their social media platform to introduce to people a payment system that is faster and easier to use.

IMO, this somehow could bring people in the crypto market, and it will benefit bitcoin and the altcoins that are not stable coins, but facebook coin could be a threat to the stable coins in the market.
4029  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is it safe to exchange big amounts? on: September 17, 2019, 10:53:53 AM
Hey.
Is it safe to exchange big amounts on non-custodial exchangers like changelly or shapeshift, or are they designed for small transactions?
I'm a newbie and I want to know if it's safe. Also, I want to know if it's safe to exchange crypto on classical exchanges like binance.
I would like to Kucoin rather than Binance exchange. I use this exchange more than two years. I aslo use Binance, Hitbtc, Bittrex, ForkDelta, Latoken, Bit-z, whitebit.com and also more exchanges. 
Whitebit is quite a new exchange, it's hard to trust them with big amount of money although they have a decent volume now, honestly, I just recently heard of that exchange and I would not trust it for big amount.

When it comes to trading with big money, let's not take chances, it's better to trust bigger and old exchanges with our money, and those exchange should be regulated exchange so they will give a client protection as they monitored and regulated by the authority.
4030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The secret of gambling? on: September 17, 2019, 07:41:52 AM
AFAIK,if someone won against the house many often then he will not be allowed to play on that casino and they will mark him as cheater.So there is no secret here only the strategies.

Is it your own opinion only or you have ever seen such case before? Accusing a casino like that without any proofs is not good at all imho. Trusted casino wont mark their players as cheaters just because the players won many often. It may happen only if someone play on a scam casino, most casinos wont do so because it will risk their reputation.
Its not my personal opinion,even also I read a thread here but couldn't find the link now.

It may not be a huge reputational issue for the casino since they can make this as scam attempt even if the winner is completely legit.
Maybe there are casinos that are doing that but those legit casinos who are earning good profit would not risk their reputation for just a small amount of money. If they will do a scam attempt, it should be an exit scam where they can take a huge amount.

If you think that is possible with small gambling sites, then gamble on big gambling sites so you will have great experience,
If they will try yo scam you, you are a member here so you can also get the support from the community to help you, as long as you provide the proper evidence.
4031  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull run 2019-2020 on: September 16, 2019, 11:59:14 PM
as we know every the beginning of new year market are always going crashed and down deeply.
in my speculation after the halving in enter middle year 2020 maybe bitcoin price are going stable again
Most of the expectation are positive and I can say that is good, we even expect that this year will be a good year for bitcoin since it has recovered and there's still plenty of time left in the 4th quarter of the year.

Bitcoin is a great investment and a great coin, if it will not rise this year based on our expectation, we will likely see a new bull run in the coming year.
As long as we all stay optimistic, nothing is impossible, bitcoin from almost no value reach almost $20,000, and that is something to believe that its legit and it has a potential, it crashed and some thought it will be dead, but it bounce back strong like it always does, so don't loss hope although we don't know when exactly it will have its bull run.
4032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Philippine Basketball Association Discussion on: September 16, 2019, 11:46:44 PM
Hello guys, PBA next conference will start in less than a week, based on the count down from https://pba.ph/, it will have its first game on Friday Philippine timezone.. So, are you excited now? prepare your bet as we are going ti have fun here again, sharing your picks and analysis will be appreciated as we all want to win and your expert opinion will surely help.

Good luck to us, may we have a profitable conference.



Bout this news - https://pba.ph/news/phoenix-signs-up-rr-garcia-davon-potts
What's the impact of the Phoenix Fuel Masters?

I think it's profitable if we sided with San Miguel teams every game they have. I mean, they both Ginebra, Magnolia and SMB are good teams to side with if they have games because they have most of the talented players in the league.

May I ask? have you been gambling in sports already, especially the PBA?
No offense but it seems like the advise is coming from newbie, because based on my experience, even good teams like SMB or Ginebra also loss in a game, and most of the time they win but they failed to cover.

Since SMB is the best team in the PBA, expect that you will only get like 1.50 or below on the ML odds, so that's only 50% or less of winning when you put your bet on SMB, if you have to get 50/50 payout, you need to be on the point spread which most of the time SMB failed to cover.
4033  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are IEO's bad? on: September 16, 2019, 11:34:47 PM
IEO's are much safer than ICO's, especially if done in a good exchange. Exchanges have an image to watch out for, they can't make the mistake of approving bad or scam projects.
That's true, people invest not primarily because on how good the project is but on how good the exchange that will sell the coin in IEO.
Binance and Houbi get more investors because they are the most popular exchange in the market, and if they make mistake, investors know they will loss more than investors loss when investing in an ICO as these exchanges are billion dollar exchanges and making millions from fees alone.

Most IEO only raise millions, so exchanges would not risk their billions just for these millions.
That's the simple analysis why investors prefer to risk their money investing in IEO in bigger exchanges.
4034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum goes to the top! on: September 16, 2019, 11:12:05 PM
ethereum has become a mandatory coin owned by anyone who is in crypto
I tend to agree, though I'm into crypto and only own an amount of ETH that most people would consider dust.  I probably should buy some more, but I just can't get myself enthusiastic enough about it to make the purchase.

I know what you mean. But to be honest, there aren't really that many coins that can make you feel enthusiastic nowadays, Besides Bitcoin, ofc. But even though it still has its flaws and pro problems, Ethereum would always be my second choice.

We just like to invest in ETH because it was great in the past, but look how ETH perform this year so far, it does not give a significant increase that would satisfy investors and I'm afraid sooner there will be a new coin that will rule in the altcoins market, let's try to consider Binance coin as well, they already have their own chain, might improve it to finally compete with ETH but they have the advantage as the IEO increase the demand of the BNB.
4035  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will IEO be good in the future? on: September 16, 2019, 10:34:55 PM
Depending on who is hosting the IEO man You should expect some level of success with the likes of Binance and Huobi especially if you have a really good project at hand man but if not that then you just watch your back Other exchange with IEO still have guarantee and you can lose your money so be careful
IEO will be a success but if its only dominated by big exchanges, then I think the success will be slow.
We cannot surpass the success of ICO before without the participating of other exchange and investors has to support other exchanges also that has an IEO so the hype will not only be on 2 exchanges you've mentioned, which is the Binance and Houbi.

The market is so big, these 2 exchanges cannot accommodate the demand, there's a need of other exchanges to step so the competition will be better.
4036  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What would you change about crypto Exchanges? on: September 16, 2019, 02:23:54 PM

The second is of course the speed of execution of orders. Sometimes you place an order on the market, and it is not executed because the market flew below or above my order in milliseconds.
Thus it means that you want to easily trade your coins with all your means and price? You are trying to manipulate the price with that and it is sad cause it probably never works in crypto trading.
We know the price is volatile, dependent on the market flows, either we like it or not that's all it meant to be. This is how crypto trading works nothing has it change, only we ask is to have a sustainable market design that will give us( trader) favor. With all these things, it helps to encourage more traders and stay in patience.
4037  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I want to know your opinion :) on: September 16, 2019, 01:49:18 PM
Every exchange started as a small exchange, but nevertheless, at this point in time, with so many reputable exchanges out there, there should be a very strong reason for anyone to try out a new one... with so many scams out there, both on the project side, and also on the exchange side, why should someone try out an unknown exchange?
Only if a desired coin is only listed there (and in that case there is always the option to wait), or if that exchange offers a tech or a service that exists nowhere else...
That it makes a big challenge for new exchanges trying to compete to the big and known exchanges in the market. And I hope they could stand for it and be competitive enough not just in a short-term but to be able to sustain in the long run.

Many exchanges fail because they never give what traders are likely to experience with them. Cause if we would like to see the bottom line of this, it is all about market assurance and profit percentage. Those big names will actually be playing well and taking advantage over the starters. Will I like to see how this https://whitebit.com will attract traders.
4038  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Happened with ETH ? on: September 15, 2019, 11:23:50 PM
ETH may be in a bad position now, but I assure you that after the upgrade and transition to PoS, ETH will start to grow and people will need it again
That's the only development we can expect that will help the price to recover again, but hopefully they will not keep delaying it and if possible it will be launch in the last quarter of this year so we can see a strong run in the last quarter.

For now, I don't want to expect so much but I will continue to believe and hold like I did in the past since ETH although it struggles, wound not be in the number 2 spot if investors does not believe in this project. If we talk about buying at dip, we can always take advantage at its price now.
4039  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banking system and BTC on: September 15, 2019, 10:52:36 PM
Bitcoin has many advantages over FIAT, but it is very difficult to control the identity of the owner because of the anonymous feature. With this feature, I believe it is difficult for Bitcoin to accept as FIAT, but if it is accepted and approved. I believe that it will defeat and change the trend of all banks.
It's not anonymous anymore when they control, they don't need to control everyone's wallet as that is not impossible but they can always monitor the exchanges and businesses at any nature that would accept BTC because they can regulate it. I even think it would be easier for them to monitor due to the blockchain where there's always a trail they can find every time they will conduct an investigation, and this will also increase their tax collection since the blockchain is online 24 hours, faster, and cheaper, therefore more transactions means more taxes generated.
4040  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Finding the best Altcoins on: September 14, 2019, 10:58:36 PM
Trading signals and TA's are the tools that could help you but you can't just rely on them all the time.
In finding the best altcoins to invest with, we have to build our own criteria. We have already big names in the market, the leading altcoins but it doesn't mean that we have to invest them all. What you are looking now is not the name alone but the profit which we could find amongst them.

Well for me, I have to put into ETH and BNB, that be enough then to have a number of altcoins to hold. We are looking assurance and these two coins have it already.
