Okay I am sure we all know the fact that practice means nothing, it doesn't provide any proof that someone is good or bad, we all know that people can race literally seconds and seconds faster, which means we can see under 1.40 here as well, which is something we all know, 3 seconds is not impossible and it is totally doable on this track as well.

However one thing I am not sure and shocked, Lewis Hamilton once again at 7th place, I am sure he will get better result in qualifiers and better result in race, but this looks like it is not looking that great for Hamilton at all, sure he doesn't really race that awesome in practice because who needs that, but it also looks like there is a chance he may not be at the top of his game anymore huh? I do not know, we will have 2 more days to see if he is still good, or if he will have a hard time with Max this season or not.
4122  Economy / Speculation / Re: Don't you think Bitcoin will die over the summer? on: June 04, 2021, 07:43:01 PM
Why would it? I mean if your only justification is the fact that bitcoin dropped during the last 2-3 weeks, I am sorry but you have no idea about crypto at all, and maybe you should not invest just for now, learn more about it and when you know more about it then you can trade later on, or invest.

Crypto is something that can go any direction at any moment and there is no reason that helps form the past, I mean it can either go to 100k during this summer or it can go to 10k this summer, both is equally possible. At the end of the day it will not "die", there is no dying in crypto, it may go down but in the end it will recover and do a lot better in the long run, that is what I believe will happen, even if it falls that is, it may not even fall. So do not be worried, there is no death for bitcoin, will never happen while we are alive, it will just be going higher and higher over long period of time.
4123  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: reasons for bad trading on: June 04, 2021, 07:09:44 PM
Being noob and just trading based on few people you saw on twitter is the biggest reason. In my nation (I do not know about other nations) there are people on social media that give advises on which coin to buy, most of those people share charts and indicators on what will go up or go down, where to buy and where to sell.

Some of them are really good and they make profit more often than not, if they give numbers on at what price to buy and what price to sell, 8 out of 10 times they are right, and sure those 2 loses you money but you make more profit in those 8. However what people do not know is that it is the people that cause this, they give names and those followers go ahead and buy that coin/token and increase it and that is why they are almost always right, these people get paid by projects to promote them, and the group just pumps it and thinks the influencer as smart person.
4124  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 2 Simple Ways Crypto Whales Manipulate the Market on: June 04, 2021, 06:36:42 PM
Honestly bitcointalk is the greatest place to create backlinks, it is really something that would help you get a high SEO and if I ever have a business in the crypto world I am definitely going to link it here constantly. This guy wrote something in 2018 may and now there is pages of content writing under his point, it is really weird, it is a great backlink process to include bitcointalk.

I do know that there is a good reason why whales can manipulate and make profit, obviously one is money, but the second is that they are not getting in trouble here as much as any other place, if you do insider trading in stock market or anywhere else you get into big trouble, but when you do that in crypto there is no problem. Elon could literally tell all of his rich friends to sell and get out, then tweet something, and then they can buy lower, and repeat it. Who knows they are not doing it? And SEC or nobody else would care because it's crypto.
4125  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Gas Fees Drop on: June 04, 2021, 05:12:03 PM
Honestly it is around at 2 dollars levels and that is as good as it gets for something like ethereum. However the amount of transactions are not the same and that is a big reason why it s lower right now. Not like there was a solution to it, the prices of many things dropped and people are not trading as much as they used to.

Plus the numbers change a lot, like I tried sending 20 bucks from my metamask just this morning and it suggested 8 dollars, I do not know where people get their gas fee calculations or where my metamask did but I decided to use BSC once again, it is that simple to drop the amount of eth is used because if you tell me 8 bucks then I will switch to other place which charges me like 20 cents, it is wildly different. All in all I think ehtereum is going to be better and better but it is not going to be right now, it will take some time.
4126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Meme Coin Will Survive Long on: June 04, 2021, 12:40:58 PM
I do not think that any of them will survive, I believe all of them will go to waste eventually, I believe none of them will make any money at all in the long run and that is a very valid fear to have because there is really nothing you can do that will improve the meme coins aside from having a hype for them, they are not used anywhere, there is no reason to buy one aside from just profiting or hopes of profiting with it. That's why I believe it is a very fair situation and I think it would not be something that is dangerous for anyone to just sell and get out of them.

All these shiba stuff are just ignorant people who think that they could get rich very quick and that's it, I am 100% sure in a few years we will not even remember it existed, but for some people they are very hyped about the potential of these coins becoming a top coin, which is only temporary.
4127  Economy / Speculation / Re: Taproot lock-in FOMO is coming(?) on: June 04, 2021, 08:19:42 AM
I didn't hear about this, this looks like a good amount of improvement on bitcoin when I research it but there is not a wide spread knowledge about this in the crypto world, which means that there is a chance it may not really getting the attention it deserves. I hope that this gets more popular over time because these type of things do increase the bitcoin usability and unfortunately since bitcoin is a decentralized project there is no marketing department for it to get these things out there to be known by people and get hyped by it so it gets buried under the pile of news we get every day.

Even as a person who likes to read about bitcoin every single day it is the first time I am hearing about it which means it is not a wide spread known thing, if I do not hear about it, thing about how many people haven't heard about it as well.
4128  Economy / Speculation / Re: Before Season Downtrend in 2018, What happened? on: June 04, 2021, 06:48:02 AM
I would assume that alt season happened and then everything started to drop but it doesn't have to be the same way here neither. People are acting as if something is horrible going on right now but the reality is that we are not doing that bad, we are doing fine right now.

I understand that there is a good amount of disbelief in the current system because of how much we dropped but the reality is that we can drop as much as we want as long as it can recover there is no problem and we are seeing how it can recover right now, we didn't had these type of recovery in the 2018 period which means that it is not the same. I do not understand the love people have for trying to see what happened in the past and trying to find what could happen in the future by looking at it, you can't just predict the future by looking at the past, that is not the way to go about making money.
4129  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto is our last hope for financial independence - John McAfee on: June 03, 2021, 07:19:01 PM
Even a broken clock shows the time correct twice a day Wink. I may not like the guy but the reality is that crypto is a weapon for financial independence. I can't say if it is the last but looks like if we give this up to the rich folk like Elon and we do not have our handle on the situation that means we may not have any type of success in the future tries neither, this is as serious as it gets, we are reaching stock market levels if we keep the pump going on, what else can reach these levels and still succeed if bitcoin fails?

At the end of the day it is not a simple task but we are not doing so bad neither right now, let's not forget we saw 64k+ price on bitcoin, the whole market cap was over 2 trillion dollars, we did that and not the rich people, they would have taken our money and left if it was just them, so it is really not that bad situation right now.
4130  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Money Need Competition To Flourish on: June 03, 2021, 05:09:43 PM
Money can't flourish, it is unchallenged and will stay that way no matter what we create, crypto will not be a competition it would be alternative and it would not make any changes on fiat world because in the end we all need to go back to fiat for regular life anyway. You can have bitcoin at 100k if you want but at the end of the day you are going to be the one that is upset over the fact that you can't spend it everywhere, how many bills can be paid with it? Not many I think, in my nation none of the bills can be paid with it.

This is why at the end of the day we are not going to be moving away from fiat and will still use it and as long as you keep using fiat they do not have to change it, they are still doing what works best for the governments and they will keep that going. The only way for fiat to get better would be to have politicians who think about the population and let's face it nothing like that exists in any part in any nation.
4131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which assets should I invest in during the current market drop? on: June 03, 2021, 04:15:52 PM
My preference is always things that have a good future with something planned out and have a reason to be higher in the future more than other coins. Let's face it if the crypto market all goes up, then coins will go up and when it goes down then they go down, so there is nothing shocking about the coin picking at that point, you can pick any decent coin that will not be crashing because of some scammy or shady stuff, then just hold it. I can pick any of the top 20 coins right now and I would profit in the future when the market goes up. So, what are we looking for then?

We are looking for something that would help us basically get higher when the market is in pump and not get too low when the market crashes. I believe cake could be one of them, it is a very big name now and it can go higher, and I believe tron maaaay do that but I am not sure, it has potential but I dislike Justin Sun.
4132  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Junior students ask for advice: what money is worth investing now, and what mone on: June 03, 2021, 12:14:09 PM
Right now the "big" coins of the future is already set, those are cake and uni, those are the two big tokens that are based on erc20 and bsc right now allowing people to basically have some sort of profit based on the decentralized swapping. So basically they are the new versions of exchanges we already know, but only on their own blockchains, for example you can't swap a bsc token in eth, and you can't do erc20 token on bsc, they could have a bridge there but it would not be the same, it would be wrapped version so it is not the same. However with bridge they are getting it better as well.

So long story short we are talking about new tech, we are talking about future potential, and we are talking about community, they both have it all. They are already very high, and they are ranked very high, but I believe they have a chance to be in top 10 for a very long time, like be way ahead.
4133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: June 03, 2021, 08:11:26 AM
I do not get this obsession with being maskless. I mean why do people want to remove their mask so much? What is the purpose of a mask? It is to prevent either you getting covid or you spreading covid, that is the only reason right? So if I am wearing a mask there is a big chance that I will be safe or others will be safe from me, that's something I love to do, I would do that for years if it means I would be saving others or myself from death.

Why are we rushing into being maskless, why do people want it so much? I get that some people find it "uncomfortable" but let's be honest, those people would be the first ones to wear it, people who do not mind it are not the reason, people who do not want it are the reason we have laws to mask people anyway. It's weird, you tell someone "would you wear a mask to prevent yourself or others from dying" and they reply with no, what type of people are these?
4134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 02, 2021, 06:20:45 PM
There are rumors for Ronaldo joining Mourinho at Roma but I don't think that this move will materialise despite that Mourinho and Ronaldo have a good relationship, first Roma dose not play in UCL next year and Ronaldo wants improve his record as the UCL top scorer,
Secondly I don't think that Roma can cover the salary of Ronaldo he earns £900k per week which is not going to be achieved for Roma even if he took a pay cut per half,
The only options left to Ronaldo in Europe are PSG or MN United those are currently the most interested in him.
As for Dybala I don't think his time to leave yer there is still  a lot of potential from him despite a less then mediocre saison with the Juve.
Roma talks were basically something for the media and nothing more, there is no way that Roma could afford something like that even if they played in UCL next season, just the money side of the deal is enough to know that it is not going to happen. United is another front but they have a good team already, I do not know if they need Ronaldo to play there for few seasons and ruin all the improvements they made with the young players.

Long story short it is not going to be easy, it is going to be very tough and I think it would also be something of value if we just let the Juventus team roll the dice again with the same team with maybe just a few additions. I understand that Ronaldo may not be happy there anymore and wants to leave, but Messi wanted to leave last year and forced to stay and now he is happier, maybe the same thing could happen with Ronaldo as well?
4135  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin - Medium of Exchange Vs Store of Value? on: June 02, 2021, 05:45:17 PM
Why do people think that it has to be either one of them or the other, why can't you consider it like it is definitely both of them? Think about it this way, gold coins used to be something of value but also means of exchange and people gave gold coins for items right?

It means they were something both that got more and more valuable over time, but they were also currency at the same time. Which is exactly what this situation is as well, it is not really that shocking to see that same thing could be moving now towards bitcoin as well. We can both use bitcoin as a currency because we can send it anywhere we want, it is a bit high on transaction fee these days so we use other coins, I personally favor Tron because it is nearly free, but at the same time it can be considered a store of value because when fiat is getting more and more worthless, crypto gets better and better.
4136  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price since 2021.05.31 in about 7 months on: June 02, 2021, 05:09:14 PM
Interesting to see that options are heavy with the bear movements. There are 8 options that shows it going under for a while, and that is understandable, there could be any amount of options that says that it will go down, however there are only 3 options that have a good outcome in the end, that would be something insane and that is what I am trying to understand, why would you have 3 options for good only but have so much bad options?

Just say "will it go up in the next 7 months, or will it go down" and that two options is good enough if you ask me, if you are going to give a detailed option then just do it equal, have like 11 options? Make it 6-5 on the sides so that we could think it is fair. I voted for bull bull bull because I believe that is what we are going to get, there is no way that bitcoin could drop and stay there and never going up, I believe it will recover.
4137  Economy / Speculation / Re: Death Cross is about to happen on: June 02, 2021, 04:31:06 PM
Whenever people keep calling bitcoin to die, I just laugh. It is such a funny thing that people think the price will suddenly bottom out just because something happened, the reality is that we are not going to have anything like this at all, it is seriously fine and I believe it will definitely continue to be fine in the long run as well. Sure it is not looking ideal right now, I understand the sadness and upset over the fall, and I can see the charts not looking great neither, but let's be honest and say that we have reached from very low levels on bitcoin to look how high we are right now even after the fall, that is just not understandable for me if you think we are doing bad.

This is why I believe we are going to end up with a good amount of profit in the long run if we could wait, there is no death, there is no dying, this is bitcoin and it will always go up in the end no matter what.
4138  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: No one wants to talk about ATL on: June 02, 2021, 12:15:25 PM
ATL is literally zero, that is why. We were zero when it started. ATL is not a thing, yearly low is a thing, look at either year to date lowest or look at last 365 days lowest and you will get the gist of it. I personally do not care about the low or the high, I think they are just there to confuse because at the end of the day we do not spend too much time at the lowest or the highest prices, we hit those prices and then move back to where it was, they are just one time things, at the end of the day why should we care about it anyway?

I like to consider the fact that 64k and 30k wasn't there for too long, we were around 40-55 range way more than anything else, that means ATL and ATH do not represent anything at all. Of course it may be great if you sold just at the ATH or if you bought just at ATL but if not then they are useless indicators.
4139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IRS Vs Monero on: June 02, 2021, 06:03:37 AM
If it is successful if would impact Monero price so much that it would make it nearly zero that's true, however how do you think it could be done? I mean it has been available as a bounty for months and months now and nobody came even close to it, which is why I think nobody will break it, it is a very solid code, plus it's done and can't be changed that's the deal.

Normally when hackers want to get into something they abuse the system and change a few things to get in, shift things around to make a room for themselves, when blockchain is set it is set for life unless everyone agrees to change it, just like how we did for bitcoin using segwit and unless that happens nobody can change monero code and that is why it is nearly impossible to hack it that way. I mean maybe one day it will be changed, maybe quantum computing could change something but I still do not think that it would make that much change.
4140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When will SHIBA INU going to reach $1? on: June 02, 2021, 05:35:04 AM
You guys realize that in order for shiba inu to reach 1 dollars it needs to do a 119000x right? That is 199 thousand, it needs to not just double, not triple, not even 10x or 100x or even 1000x, it needs 119000x in order to reach that.

I mean I am not saying anything is impossible in crypto world but I think that is as close to impossible as it could potentially get, that is why I wouldn't hold my breath. Sure if you want to invest into shiba go ahead and do it, I would never invest into those meme coins but I am not against anyone else doing it, however if you know what you are doing then just make sure you are there for normal expectations, like having 10x would be awesome, focus on those type of stuff, not 1 dollars, because that is not going to happen . I would say if it ever reaches 0.0001 that would be a HUGE deal for shiba, like the max I could even imagine.
