Oh I love how you put all of that.
Discipline. This is one of their greatest feat.

Bitcoin is a legal money to them so it won't be a real problem unlike us who live in a place where we need to find a bitcoin accepting store in caves.  Grin It is like an adventure just to find one.
So, because they can just use it anywhere, they will buy it without any regret at all but not a store of value.
They will spend it, yeah a larger percentage that they will.
Somehow, it is still not bad. Good circulation means something in the financial industry.
4102  Economy / Speculation / Re: COVID-19 - The major reason for the current fall of Bitcoin on: March 28, 2020, 08:29:25 AM
Economy is down.
There is no work. Even if you want to, the company and the government won't let you.
But you will need to survive for that span of time.
So what do you do when given a chance to go out once a week.
You cash out some of your savings and that includes bitcoin.
You buy products that could make you survive for the week and then do it again the next week.

No money is coming in to buy back that bitcoin you sold so what is next? You sell again.
That could be one reason but that is not everything. Some holders are still sticking to the long term plan.

Some good news just came in, both Gobert and Donovan Mitchell have recovered from COVID-19.
I hope to hear the same for Smart, KD and the rest of the Net's players that got it soon.

Oh thank God.
More good news. I am loving it.
It's like they just had a cold for a week or more.
But as of now, the number of Covid-19 cases in USA is still growing at 100k+. That is not good.

They should start testing more people to prevent this from infecting more people.
It cannot go back and forth to those who are already healed.
4104  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sending crypto to a non-crypto person through Facebook? on: March 28, 2020, 03:51:02 AM
The safest will still be a wallet.
There are wallets at android application by now. It is easier and user friendly.
I don't trust sending messages thru facebook. I would rather put it in an e-mail or raw text message.

Just give your friends instructions on how to create a public address.
Use one application like Metamask or Electrum.
Then tell them you will have a surprise afterwards.
Also, bring up that they won't need to pay anything. Some people are scared of this.
4105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: March 27, 2020, 03:21:56 PM
I guess I'd better wait for the final decision of the NBA organization, the crisis in the US due to the corona virus has increase, they already surpass China now, so they better prepare for this than thinking on the business.

Whatever their decision, I am okay with it, I'm just here at home to watch them play again live, but I just can't also not think of the current situation as people are in big struggle right now, and yet they are thinking of resuming their business?

Life of people should really be the first priority rather than business.Well its an easy thing to say but really hard for the organization yet we know on how much they would lost but

with this current condition i dont see a reason that they should push it through.Im shocked that US surpassed China and Italy for a short period of time and this isnt the right time
to think up about business.

This is becoming worst day by day.

I am even surprised too, I thought Italy would have the biggest number of cases but they were surpass by the US, maybe because the measure done by the US is not so strict that even the NBA are still considering of continuing the season with the idea they presented.
True.
I have seen a lot of politician news and they really want to continue working even with other countries already doing the quarantine.
I won't even risk my life for that.
There will always be another job if they fire me.
It is not about making money anymore but staying healthy and alive.

NBA could always continue the game anytime.
I think it is being on the top of all the countries which they want to prove.
They don't want to lose that.
4106  Economy / Services / Re: [CFNP] YOLOdice.com Signature Campaign on: March 27, 2020, 12:51:39 PM
Payments could always wait.

Just please stay safe for now.
I think I have been out the streets just once in 2 weeks to buy some groceries and its really scary.
Hope you all are in good health too.
4107  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin last forever? on: March 27, 2020, 12:47:05 PM
We can all talk about ranks and it will just last forever so better not look at that way.

It ain't about being on the top, IMO.
It's all about the usage.
I am waiting for that moment and that is why I am still here.
Been using Ethereum for quite a lot but it ain't on the top. That is because of the cheap transaction fee.
You cannot be a full time loyal to one coin although I always prefer bitcoin but just not now.
That is why I go thru different varieties and see if some of them have some good usage now rather than spending a lot with bitcoin.
But still, I won't stop keeping it. I know there will be a timeline out there where bitcoin will be used everyday or even every minute.
4108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: March 27, 2020, 11:22:42 AM
^^, Yes, US and Italy are now the new ground zero, not very good, China has somewhat control the spread of the virus, while US are rising very fast and there have been high profile personalities and athletes getting infected.

@bbc.reporter - I don't know if high profile personalities are more willing to be a pawn in this pandemic by the government. But I do agree that this is getting uglier by the day. Lock downs, self-isolation, it's madness right now even here in our country.

For those without discipline.
It is actually easy to prevent it by just staying at home. Don't let any visitors come in. That way, they might do the same.
Hate me all they want but I won't get near them. I won't even open the door for them.

Trump even let some workers to get in work while doing social distancing. I still won't approve with that.
The economy can stand again later on but it will not  if you don't have any people to rise the economy.
I am not against him or anything. It is just that people should really stay at home for now.
It is the government problem now on how they could give what the people need. That is the use of a government right?

About Italy, Oh! let us not go there. People are like adventurers wanting to see the world without people and cars outside.  Grin
4109  Economy / Speculation / Re: Guys avoid panic sell... on: March 27, 2020, 09:29:18 AM
Easier said if you got food on your plates everyday.
You know there are a lot of people out there who are now suffering.
Companies who have rules like no work no pay. So, how are they going to make money?
Their next stop will be their savings and if it is in bitcoin or other crypto currencies then it will be sold in an instant.
They need to eat for nourishment so that they can fight back that virus.

Some good news here.
https://www.nba.com/article/2020/03/26/reports-christian-wood-almost-recovered-covid-19

Quote
Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood was the third player in the NBA to test positive for the new coronavirus, doing so on March 15. However, it appears the big man is just about healed up from COVID-19 and is reportedly closing in on a clean bill of health.

That's great news, He's the first player from the NBA to have fully recovered as stated by his agent, Chris Wood announced he tested postive later than Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchel, but neither of both players have recovered, maybe theirs is just around the corner.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/pistons-christian-wood-becomes-first-known-nba-player-cleared-from-coronavirus-per-report/
This next week might be the good news for those two players since they are like the older brothers who are infected first.

More great news.
NBA players are really trying their best to inform more people about the virus and are also donating to help.
Here is one from Steph Curry asking one of the best in the virus field.

4111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: New suggestion for unpaid bounties on: March 27, 2020, 02:08:41 AM

I've joined +10 bounties and I haven't been paid even for a single one yet. So yeah, the effort of thinking of all these bounties and listing them here just isn't worth it imo and doesn't help with anything. Bounties are mostly not paid because the "devs" are shit.

Now this one sucks.
10 bounties and all are failures or just a scam.
After that 10 times of not being paid I might really be tired of joining more.

Well, perhaps you should think of something new.
I have looked at some bounties and other are offering it with escrowed payments.
GeomaDao is one. The manager is handling 1,000,000 tokens and he is a trusted one.
4112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: March 26, 2020, 03:09:30 PM
I hope the vaccine will be shared faster.

So is it also possible that the vaccine was already created by a specific country but was not just shared to other countries.

I've seen movies, those countries who discover the vaccine seem to prioritize their people, and since China now are looking good with few or no cases being listed, I guess we can assume that they had already found the vaccine.

Any thoughts?

Yes, there might be a vaccine now. They are recovering so fast in just days.
I don't know though when it will be shared.

This might even take longer than we thought. Some people are just not into being disciplined. They still want their freedom and they are still in the streets. They do not even care if they will pass whatever virus they are carrying or might carry after walking out there.
Sad part is they are in groups.

Some good news here.

4113  Economy / Speculation / Re: Types of People on this Corona Virus crisis which group you belong? on: March 26, 2020, 01:17:56 PM
I hope I am in the Brave holders type but there are times that I would need to sell.
Panic also streams in my blood and I will have to do it to not lose more.
But I also promised  myself I need to get it all back once the price becomes cheaper.

I am not yet in the case to hoard things since I already got my stocks so I won't need to sell.
Something like a holder but when necessity strikes then I will sell. At the right price of course.  Grin (the right price for me is better than this 6k)

Another bad news from the NBA, KAT is now also infected, why is it most NBA stars were getting infected by the virus?
With this new cases in the organization, I doubt the management would still push to resume the season soon.

It was only his mother that is in coma, but probably if they have a contact, KAT might also be infected with the virus.

@Questat I can't seem to see it anywhere.
Do you still have the link in which KAT was diagnosed?
All I know is his Dad and Mom are the only ones who are positive from the virus.

But as stadus says if he made contact with them which he also said that he keeps in touch with them.
I bet that is not just thru video call and text messages.
This is going to be bad. A never ending passing of the virus. I hope the vaccine will be shared faster.
4115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Corona is spreading in many countries!! Bitcoin is a solution for transactions on: March 26, 2020, 06:33:15 AM
Had been my problem since I knew about this virus.
How am I going to prevent myself from touching people or touching what they have already touched.

Specially when you are going to the grocery. There ain't much problem with that since you could use other options which they could just scan something for the payment.
The other problem is when you are buying with small merchants.
They don't have any payment option but just cash. So you will pay with it and then they will give you a change. Of course you are going to touch that.
I have been freaked out by all of this. Using alcohol like every 5 minutes to disinfect. I almost bathe with alcohol when I got home.
Something must be changed. Cashless society maybe. If it ain't bitcoin then use something else.
4116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty alone is not enough on: March 26, 2020, 05:19:14 AM
I disagree at some point of your statements.

Bounties does help here in this forum.
You will just never know who is the buyer inside or outside here.
Not all users here are just looking for work, others are really buying. Remember that.
Other bounty hunter also fall in love with what they support. Trust me, I use to buy ICO tokens before while supporting them.

Now in social media.
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Those kind of platforms have buyers also so it ain't a waste. Actually, they might even find a large investor out there.
So you extend all the possibilities for a buyer as much as you could.

Towns said his mother was "never cutting" from 103 degrees, and that at best it would fall to 101.9 degrees with medication and then spike back up overnight. He said she "was deteriorating -- and we always felt that the next medicine would help. This is the one that's going to get it done. This mixture is going to get it done."

Obviously, this was it.
Symptoms of the virus. Once fever keeps on going back then the person must be checked for Covid-19.

This is what hurts the most.
Our elderly cannot fight it anymore since they have a fragile body at their age.
All love for KAT and I hope they can get through all of this.

For us, let us stay healthy and also keep our elders at home.
I know they are hard headed, patience is the key.
4118  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you think this is a good strategy ? on: March 25, 2020, 04:54:30 PM
Do not be confused too much here.
Why don't you try it and let us see if you won't really lose anything.

Of course you will.
You know there is a trading fee right?
Also you cannot just leave it right there. Although you are just losing by fees here how could you win if you will just leave it?
It needs monitoring too if you want profit. This is just a safety pin.
4119  Economy / Speculation / Re: Three economic signals that indicate that Bitcoin will see an increase on: March 25, 2020, 03:59:23 PM
Yeah, I think so and it had been what is happening since then.

Easy money as they say it with just the right prediction as where it will go.
Actually if someone bought at the 4k mark just weeks ago then they are already making a lot.
I don't much of a capital anymore to buy and I am not also in the mood since I have been gaining little by little since then even with the price that looks like a bloated one.

But, there is always the entering point and this could be one.
If they are looking at the history of bitcoin then it can easily be predicted but let us not forget the risk of course.

@Reid - you got your pictures taken by some photographer and then you crop it posted your images on your social media, then you got a lawsuit? Lol, I think it has no substance at all and will be thrown out in the window by any judge.

Yeah, shouldn't it be the other way around.  Grin
Bron should have money from that photographer.
You are taking pictures of mine so why sue me.
Players have their rights too. As I said, someone wants to make money. But then, I do think Lebron have some good lawyers in LA and also he got some good back ups out there. How about the manager of LA himself.  Grin

I think it is because of the virus. Their brain are all getting eaten out with nothing to do inside their house.
I would rather play console games if I were them and not look at social media for now.
