4081  Economy / Speculation / Re: Did fear cause that sharp dump? on: September 09, 2019, 10:12:38 PM
In most cases, the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is highly dependent on news that appears in the press. But in this case, the news about the payment of Craig Wright did not greatly affect the crypto market. The fall in prices looks more like speculation of traders in the market in order to provoke a panic, lower the price and acquire more cryptocurrency.
Yeah I am after with the post and discussion the price actually gets effected by the news that comes in market if good news will come it will bring positive effect on price of the coin. Never sell if you hear from someone that market is low as so many people takes advantage of New people and they make them sell panic.
Not really that hard if we all are the same but we don't and many of us still in doubts towards the market. This is what the market has a seller, buyer, and holder. We have this market composition and this is why we can't see a stable price but just a roller coaster.
News has a positive and negative effect and yet to come that newcomers hear about FUD's, they absolutely get into thinking "sell it now cause it dumps later".

Mass adoption is not easy if you will do it naturally and let the human nature accepts the changes but if the government will interfere, im sure the process will become much faster. People will not have a choice and proceeds to changes.
Only if the government realize it and the openness of their minds to look of what crypto can do to the community. With there participation, it helps business owners to adopt crypto and to think for the safety assurance. Legality of Bitcoin makes people to give trust and only be possible if the government says something good about this.
4083  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Altcoins ever come back again on: September 06, 2019, 09:58:38 PM
The market is still open for them and some investors still have confidence with altcoins. Only we suffer low market demand pulling its price to drop badly. Not totally just because of ICO performance but mostly it is the result for many scamming activities they did. It is really hard to regain the trust of investors cause they are still in doubts about what altcoins can give with them. We aren't disclosing any chances but it takes years and it makes possible also if Bitcoin price will move higher than of today. 
4084  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Calm Before The Storm on: September 06, 2019, 01:08:34 PM
It would be better if they are going to implement that in all of their branches all around the globe, that way, people will be curious about cryptocurrency so it will be easily adopted. Hopefully the market will skyrocket again and make another ATH when this time comes, when the world will become cashless and cryptocurrencies will be use as a payment, the only thing that is alarming for me is when the time that bitcoin's price will hit zero.

Bitcoin is like a pyramid, when it hits its peak, then it will slowly going down and bury itself on its own grave, though we didn't know what is its peak price.
Implementation will take time and in a process as well. Have this change it something gives a better for crypto to be accepted in all establishments globally.
Not only we just focus on Bitcoin to be accepted in all areas but also with altcoins. Having this lead in one of the popular food chains in the world, it soon to be happen that some food chains players will follow.
4085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MASS ADOPTION OF BTC on: September 06, 2019, 12:39:48 PM
What do you think guys? how many years do we need for all people using BTC?
I think it will take a very long time for Bitcoin to be used by everyone in all countries of the world. my suggest is maybe for the next 20-30 years. indeed there are many surveys that show an increase in bitcoin users each year, but this applies only in developed and developing countries. in fact, in poor countries and some developing countries still prohibit the use and all bitcoin transactions. but I'm sure bitcoin users will increase if the government (a country) plays a role in cryptocurrency
We still have option to use fiat and yet to consider cryptocurrency depending on the areas that are being accepted.
Knowing that fact that not all of us are open for crypto nor they appreciate crypto for the best currency to use in an online transaction will be a hindrance for huge market adoption. Mass adoption will always be matter on how we look into it and how we give support for this technology.

i hope the bullish scenario will be happend on bitcoin price and alts will follow  Wink
https://cointelegraph.com/news/3-key-indicators-suggest-bitcoin-price-is-ready-for-a-massive-move
thanks
Bitcoin is bitcoin. If altcoin is going to follow, it is because investors just don't want to put their eggs in one basket only so they choose to scatter their investments on other coins including altcoins. That's why there are reasons why altcoins follow the price of bitcoin because of investors too pouring some of their money on altcoins.
It actually they know whos gonna gives more profit and whos gives less. They give a big shot into Bitcoin cause they'll know what will happen next. Not only they don't want to put eggs in one basket but also it is proven that some altcoins can be more profitable than of Bitcoin depending on the market price. Bitcoin can be trusted in terms of profit returns but we want to gain more, taking a reason to put some eggs into another basket.
4087  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you trust the market or the business owners? on: September 06, 2019, 11:51:54 AM
I would invest in bitcoin for the biggest coin that can give me a big profit too. But besides of bitcoin, I will invest in the other coins as I am sure that the altcoin can be a way for me to make another profit. But you can not compare bitcoin and altcoin because bitcoin and altcoin have different way but both bitcoin and altcoin is a new way to make money.
Still Bitcoin is rule the crypto market so everyone believe your thought. But current statement is do you trust market or Business owners. So Both are same questions because all the investors are business owners that means  market is depends on demand. We are all clearly understand the current strategy.
That's it! If we trust the person handling that business, there is no reason why we never trust their products.
The success of any business is coming from the trust of the community. That is why business owners would give their best to deliver the best product and protect their reputation, and proving that they are worthy of our trust.
4088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis - US Open thread - Predictions on: September 06, 2019, 08:33:58 AM
I really want Dimitrov or Medvedev to win US open this year.It's gets really boring when Nadal,Federer and Jokovic win everything.I can't predict what will happen,because I'm not an expert in tennis,but I would bet on Medvedev.Tall tennis players are the future of tennis(unfortunately).
I'm also rooting for him, I'm not really familiar with him but when he played and beat Wawrinka, I was like,, this player is legit and could be a champ this US open. Wawrinka beat Novak Djokovic which was suppose to be my bet to win this competition, I understand because the guy is playing with some injury so because Wawrinka beat my guy and Medvedev  beat Wawrinka, I'm with him all the way.

In womens US open, I'll support Williams to win, obviously since Osaka is out.
4089  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Zipmex Is Giving Free $15 Bitcoins on: September 06, 2019, 08:18:01 AM
Honestly I'm not familiar with an exchange, probably this is a new exchange or a small exchange just trying to be aggressive with their marketing technique. However, I doubt that this strategy will be effective, I'm afraid this will only be abuse by the cheaters in the space.
4090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: September 06, 2019, 07:06:02 AM
I know a guy who plays billboards and you hire them to play against someone whom you know is also good in playing billboards.

It happens to my friend in billiard place. Someone asked him to play with him,

why there are some people that do that ? i mean why they hire someone to play with them when they can learn playing that game . i prefer playing on my own because i dont need to pay for anyone and i dont want my winning to be shared on others   .  same as when you loose you dont also regret for paying with  others but you also get an experience to play with other pro players and whats better is that you enjoyed playing the game.

But you could be a lot less skilled than others. There are a few people who really excel in what they do, more than the rest. There are also a lot of people who, despite playing 24/7, cannot make it to a decent tournament, much less earn from their games.

In my country, there are people who play for a pay. It could be billiards, egames, basketball, among others. They use their exceptional playing skills to earn money. Oftentimes, they have handlers who place the bet on their behalf. They may involve a lot of traveling in other places looking for matches. They go to different villages, towns, cities, and even provinces to challenge other players.  

Edit: My point is exactly pointed out by the post above me just a second ago.  Grin

This is the best chance for a gambler to make money when they bet on themselves as they are confident on what they are doing.
Most gamblers does not bet on themselves, they bet on other players that they don't really know personally, they just make their own result and put their bet based on their analysis, that's what a sports gambler is doing, and in this field of gambling, only few are really successful.

If I have the same talent like you mentioned, I would bet a big money because I know what I can do, but not everyone really has that talent, and even if you are good in billiards like in your example, there is no assurance that you can get bet a big amount by just travelling looking for opponents to play with you.
4091  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My Trading Success on: September 05, 2019, 11:49:28 PM
Trading success will accompany someone who chooses the right time to buy altcoins, I think. Bitcoin will not always have 70% dominance. This is all temporary. And now is not the best time to buy bitcoin. But I think many will disagree with me).

I do not think that this can be called successful trading.
More likely a good investment. Trading is a process that is repeated and repeated, bringing either taking away part of the funds and as a result we see a certain result.
In this case, I see only investment that ended in a plus.
For you, it may not but for the others, it is already a big achievement for them.
It is acceptable that sometimes Bitcoin never been profitable, thus making this investment alone isn't totally a perfect investment we should have in the whole life. But, as it showed these days, many investors came in and luckily did something great which they called it a big success for them.
4092  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do not ignore the small profits in Bitcoin investments. on: September 05, 2019, 11:04:35 PM
Aiming big is also a big challenge and seeing others did it, it helps us to encourage ourself and be like them in the future.
A lot of people being in here just because of the positive results and even millionaire came in to take this opportunity.

Small turns into big and it become bigger when we tried ourself to improve our strategies and as well as our capital. We should never think for an instant ROI instead, we have to patiently wait for it.
4093  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how do you identify a transparent project team? on: September 05, 2019, 11:24:26 AM
We have different ways to identify if a certain project is legit or not, my strategy is I only invest in IEO now since scams are coming from ICO.
I usually look more on the reputation of the exchange rather the team behind the project as for me, that's easy to do, when a project has an IEO in big exchange, usually, it makes me confident to invest on such project as I believe I'm being help by the exchange in determining if the project is legit.
4094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone buying Ether ? on: September 05, 2019, 11:07:44 AM
I'm still buying ETH all the time, just not for holding Tongue
There are tons of DApps that use ETH, so if you want to use any of them, you just kinda have to buy ETH.

It's not all about investing either, I tend to play some blockchain games just for fun.

The potential of Ether is good, some people just easily judge based on the current situation where the market is bad and it's BNB which is given more attention due to the growing popularity of IEO.

I have already stock a decent amount of ETH in my wallet, this project doesn't need a hype, it will grow in just time because there's a lot of projects that are using the ETH platform and I don't think they will all die in the future. Most of the projects I've invested issuing ETH tokens are very less valuable now, but it's understandable because the market for altcoins is still bearish until now.
4095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Old Bounties VS New Bounties on: September 05, 2019, 10:10:37 AM
I dont think there are any fundamental differences between the "old" and the "new" campaigns. Back in the old days you had a much greater chance to score big as a much higher percentage of projects have successfully listed on solid exchanges, so you were able to liquidate your rewards without a sweat. Its a completely opposite situation right now.
This completely depends on the market situation, back in the old times of ICO, the market is good, so bounty hunting is also good.
Bounty reward are coming from successful altcoins project,  and if we look at the market now, altcoins has really struggle and just even holding a little dominant rate compared to the year 2017 and 2018.

Let's adjust to the current situation while still continuing to work for bounty, it doesn't matter if we will get a smaller reward now as long as bounty hunting is still alive. For sure in the long run, there will be a major improvement that we will all enjoy.
4096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 on: September 04, 2019, 11:46:02 PM
It seems to be that the USA vs Japan match is the easiest to predict, for sure the USA will dominate Japan and notably only Japan is playing today from Asian country.
Yeah, that is and someone that I've replied a while ago said that this fight is interesting because the USA struggled a bit with Turkey.

But Japan's gameplay is still different in basketball although I think we'll still see a good match for these teams.

A good match for me is a close fight, but I don't expect this game will end up close because the line itself says the opposite.
In my sportsbook now, Japan is +29.5 and therefore beating the US is a big upset, Asian teams are really an underdog in this tournament, I think only China can really compete well among the Asian teams although they only won once in their group.
4097  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICOs 2019: A Year Of Success or Failure? on: September 04, 2019, 11:26:21 PM
The difference is a transparent process of the token sales, IEO model will be good choice for the investors. ICOs already become a second generation of the token sales, exchanges also improve their token launchpad platform in order to bring more projects and investors.   
But ICO has already become a failure because of IEO in exchange, with the popularity of IEO, it will only make exchanges popular and this is their opportunity to shine. I think this is better compared to ICO where we are only making ETH rise, at least with IEO, the success is distributed to exchanges and this will make more exchanges to operate as they are seeing this potential in the long run. I would not be surprise if most exchange will begin to issue their own exchange token like BNB.
4098  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you need to become a successful trader? on: September 04, 2019, 10:04:06 PM
OP probably missed something from what the others say, he/she might forgot the risk and just only focusing on earning every single day. Anyway, there is no wrong with that cause in the first place, that is our goal and that should be. But what I see to this person is that, he never knows really about crypto and don't have enough knowledge in trading putting himself/herself at full risk and getting worse of losing his/her hard work money.
4099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 on: September 04, 2019, 08:19:43 AM
Good start for the Philippines, I have a feeling that it will be a close game, players almost have same heights in every position, so this is better game to watch, the 2 worst team in the group fighting. The Philippines odds looks good, will consider taking ML through live betting when Philippines will be down 10 to get a good return.
Angola starting to pull away in the second quarter  Angry 35-26, looks not good for my bet as i go with the ML with 2.80 odds.

Anyway, it's just the 2nd quarter yet, Gilas might start a run on the 3rd frame.
First half has already ended, the score is 38-31, Angola with 7 points lead.
I think the Philippines can still come back, it's time to put my bet now, Philippines is 4.20 to win this game, waiting for the market to go live again.

This is what I'm seeing now in sportsbet.

I might consider PH moneyline as well although I don't really trust them. The only factor is that I haven't watched Angola played. I cannot say they are better or worse than PH. I only heard they are as poor in their games as the Philippine Team.

Actually, I always use my price boost every time it is available. I've already used it today. I wish sportsbet would offer a price boost every 5 hours. That would be cool! Grin

Let's just beat for fund, let's support the Philippines in their last game, I'll have my rest than time and watch it live, the game will start at 3:30 PM PH time.
I would also put a little bet on Philippines to win over angola, I am only getting 2.65 for Philippine ML, maybe money are coming for PH that's why odds decrease.

Good start for the Philippines, I have a feeling that it will be a close game, players almost have same heights in every position, so this is better game to watch, the 2 worst team in the group fighting. The Philippines odds looks good, will consider taking ML through live betting when Philippines will be down 10 to get a good return.
