4141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: American convenience store chain now accepts btc, etc, litecoin dogecoin payment on: May 31, 2021, 03:58:29 PM
Honestly it is not such a big place, it is a convenience store but at least they are doing something and that is better than none. I remember back in the day there was a map that showed all the places that accepted bitcoin around you, and I checked and there was 3 places. Now I am looking into these things and it looks like there is a ton of them and that is really something huge going on with the adoption and that is a very good news.

I do not care about dogecoin at all, but I would still be happy about it you know why? Because, it is the fact that we are talking about adoption and that is why it is great, adoption is great and that is what matters the most in crypto world ; increasing the adoption rate. So these adoptions are great, they are the reason why bitcoin has a bigger and bigger bottom because now there are more and more people who can spend crypto and not have to sell it.

Pirlo definitely did not deserved to be sacked, that dude was bringing everything in his hands to the team and tried to make something happened but lets face it Juventus didn't have a proper rotation this year and their starting eleven when healthy played amazing but they missed many players for long amount of times, it was injuries, bookings but differently this year it was also covid as well, their best two players both missed a good chunk of time because of it.

This is why I think there is a good amount of doubt it was Pirlo that caused the team to be at this level, if given a healthy team next season and a bit more rotation players he could definitely win the league no doubt in my mind, but it was easier for front office to put the blame on Pirlo and send him off and act as if last year didn't happen at all and next year will be different, it won't be unless they get some fresh legs.

Lack of money is a big problem for every team but when you are the champions of one of the biggest leagues in the world, I would assume that you would not have such dire situation in the end. I am not saying you would be fine, I am just saying that you would be bad but not horrible.

I would understand levels of 20-30 million dollars in debt for example but in excess of 100 million by the start of next season is the calculations I am seeing for Inter and that's just not normal, how much does a team spend yearly that it would have 100+ million in debt, that means they had even more costs than that which the revenue covered and paid for, so there was nearly 100 million more needed to cover the difference. This is going to be an example for the off-season to come, I am not sure if teams would have enough to make big purchases like the ones we expect, maybe it will be a quite summer?
4144  Economy / Economics / Re: Three South Korean Banks Stop Working With the Nation’s Crypto Exchanges on: May 28, 2021, 05:04:58 PM
I get that banks may support or be against crypto because of where they stand, but stop working with crypto exchanges is basically the way of saying they do not want to deal with crypto in that nation. Let's face it banks are so much involved in our lives that we can't live without them anymore, it is a very scary situation that is for sure but it is the reality, we can't live without banks.

So, you are a regular person who wants to buy a bitcoin and you have the money for it but your bank or any bank in your nation doesn't work with crypto exchanges, what do you do? You work via P2P to make that trade, which relies heavily on trust and definitely a harder move and that is not going to be easy. This is why I think it is obvious banks are doing it to hurt the crypto world in Korea, there is no other ways around it, it is perfectly legal so if they want to, they can work with the exchanges, so it is just out of pettiness.
4145  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I lost all my crypto gains this not fair! on: May 28, 2021, 04:08:08 PM
I agree that people are very upset seeing their money go down, I am upset as well to see my money going down but I am holding strong, I am not going to let these whales drop the price and convince me to sell to them and then they will profit even more when it goes up and I would be wishing I never sold. That's always the case, the whales drop the price but selling 100 million at a time, then they accumulate by buying 5 million at a time, so when they drop it they just drop it quickly but when they are buying they try to keep the price low, that way they will profit a ton whenever we all work together to make it go up while none of us profit as much as they do.

This is once again one of those times, the whales are causing it to drop by selling bunch of them and there is a good amount of reason why we should not let them take over and convince us to sell ours.
4146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you recommend staking? on: May 27, 2021, 07:24:08 PM
Honestly I believe staking is the future of the crypto world, I believe everything will be staking in the future. Obviously speaking we are not going to have it today but it is going to happen very quickly and it is going to happen in the future. Look at even ETH they are moving to staking right now. This is why I think there is a good chance that even bitcoin may turn to staking in the long distant future when it is perfected, of course it will require a lot of tech improvements on staking but it may happen, we moved to segwit so why not move to staking as well that may happen.

There are tons of staking chances in the erc20 and bsc world right now that gives you a lot of money and I think that will be the case for a very long time, defi world change the staking word a lot and made it into something that everyone could want and can profit from.

Honestly Knicks do look better than Hawsk for sure, they do not look like they will be a title runner, no team that loses to Hawks would be that much threat to championship and they do not pass the eye test neither, they are very good and they will 90% win this series as well but I do not see them beating Sixers, or nets or bucks those three will probably be the top three and one of them will go to finals for sure.

On the other hand Grizzlies are playing better than expected, remember these are the same guys who finished the league on 9th seed and got into playoffs, surely nobody expected them to beat the first seed but the series is tied and they are giving Jazz their moneys worth so I think it is definitely something I like to watch. Tonight will be a huge game, Lakers need to show dominance if they want to take the series, otherwise they may end up with a big upset.
4148  Economy / Economics / Re: How to protect from inflation? on: May 27, 2021, 04:58:11 PM
I really wouldn't believe anything at all from this list, they look horrible. Gold is the only one that I may trust but all those nasdaq ones, jp morgans and all that are basically horrible. Yet that bitcoin one shines as brightest there, it is a great one and I can't think of anything better to fight against inflation. This is why I think there is a chance that others could be doing some profits in the short term but there is really not chance that it could be a profitable thing at the long term.

Number one there is bitcoin and number two is gold and all the rest is equally bad if you ask me. At the end of the day there is a chance bitcoin could still reach to 1 million each, it is not going to be right now but I believe it is possible in the next 10 years and that is an amazing long term investment potential.
4149  Economy / Economics / Re: The Central Digital currencies will make monetary policy more difficult on: May 27, 2021, 03:50:17 PM
I believe these digital yuan deals are only happening because they want to have a chance to monitor and control everything people do. Why are they hating on bitcoin all that much and constantly? Because, they know that there is no chance they could control people who use bitcoin (or other crypto) and that means we are talking about china here so obviously they will hate something they can't control.

Is there even a single second doubt in your mind that china is a pure dictatorship that kills everyone that faces them? I mean they literally kill the whole family when just one person goes against them. So obviously they wouldn't allow crypto, and that is why they are doing digital yuan. This is the worst part of it, other nations would be better but it is still incredibly centralized for sure.
4150  Economy / Speculation / Re: From trader become holder because the market is crashing on: May 27, 2021, 11:28:56 AM
For traders/investors who already been here for years they know the best decision to commit in times like this. The market is high volatile thats why its inevitable to witness a situation wherein most of our coins are losing its value temporarily.

Thats why its a must to fill our minds first with knowledge on how crypto works to be aware of the possible scenarios that can occur and be prepared as well.

Keep holding and dont panic, in time, all your efforts will be worth it once the bullish market hits us again.
Unfortunately there has been a huge hype that caused a ton of new people that joined who do not make any research at all and only invest into coins that they read in other places. That is the type of problem that we are facing right now because we do not end up with people who research but only just hear from others and hear from telegram groups etc etc about a token and they end up putting all their money into that coin/token.

Why would they do that? I have zero clue what is the logic behind someone reading "this coin will go super high!!!" on some telegram group and believe that and invest into that, like that is as terrible decision as it gets but somehow they still do it. This is why I think we are facing with the huge drop we are facing now, those same people run away as soon as they see the price going down, which triggers a crash.
4151  Economy / Speculation / Re: I like the chances of BTC breaking up from this. on: May 26, 2021, 07:19:16 PM
I have to say the charts are all looking like bitcoin could be going very strong from here, it has been doing very well with the recovery and that fast movement of recovery impacted a lot of indicators and it is signaling that we are going to do very well. However one thing is for sure we are not going to end up doing that bad, we are not going to end up getting super high (back to 64k) any time soon because it is not having that kind of power behind it just yet.

What these charts are showing is that it "should" go up and people should invest, but that doesn't change the fact that volume behind bitcoin and the hype about it is not as much as it used to and people are still a bit worried about it, which is why I am not sure if we are going to see the increase in price that these charts suggests.
4152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: THE VERY TRAGIC MOMENT IN FUTURES TRADE HAPPEN AGAIN. on: May 26, 2021, 06:48:19 PM
I do not understand why people who do not have the proper training or the knowledge of high leverage trading do end up doing it. Like what's the point of it. Just because I know what basketball is, I do not sign up to play for the Lakers do I? Not that they would get me obviously, whereas you CAN do a leverage trading without knowing it, but it would look silly right? That's exactly what's going on, people who didn't studied and learned about leverage for years and years end up doing it without knowing how it exactly works is exactly the same as me putting on a jersey and going out to play for the Lakers in the playoffs, there is ZERO difference between them.

The level of difference between people who make money from leverage versus people who are very new to it is exactly the same as my basketball talents versus Lebron James, which is why if you are noob on futures you should not do it but somehow they still end up doing it just because they can.
4153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I lost money on the market drop. What should I do? on: May 26, 2021, 06:15:02 PM
I would love to tell OP that he didn't lose money because bitcoin went down, technically nobody lost money because bitcoin went down, you lose money because you sell when it goes down, if you do not sell and if you wait then you can make a profit. That's my mindset, I do not care about drops and for that matter I do not care about the increases neither, I just ignore the price and continue with what I do, which is holding my bitcoins.

If you really want low risk then you should ignore the price and do not check it every five minutes, if you check the price constantly and do trades because of it then you will end up with a loss. This is why I think there is no reason why you should sell right now unless you absolutely need money. If you want less risk just go buy gold, because bitcoin will go down and up constantly
4154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bear Run and the end of many of the Meme/Sh*tCoins on: May 26, 2021, 10:37:06 AM
I have checked on the price of many coins, I understand that the high cap ones like bitcoin, ethereum and BNB went low but some of them went down more than the others. Look at BNB for example they were third in spot right? So everything went down which means bnb should go down as well but not in spot, they should still be in third spot and just down as much as the others? Well they are now 5th in spot and they were even 6th at some point because it went down even more than the others.

The only reason for that is the fact that there were a lot of shitcoins in BSC and they went down so much that some of them actually ended up being 90% down and that caused BSC to go down more than the other ones and that is the main reason. This is why I am not really shocked about what happened to bnb, and what happens to memecoins and shitcoins, they are the first ones people leave when a crash happens.

Bucks is finally using Giannis how he suppose to be and not what he wants to be and that is a very important part of the change this season. Dude is inside a lot and that shows, they are playing with Byrn and Kris a lot and just putting Giannis down low.

This was the key this game as well and yes Giannis against bigs do work and they have seen that, I know he was more like a SF when he first started and then became more PF size eventually but I still think that he can even play as much as Center in some situations. This is why this series looks a lot easier for Bucks, they stopped playing with the bad system and now they are using their superstar the right way.

Collect as many tickets as you can by wagering and free spins to increase your chance of winning up to $7,500 in BTC on the coming Sunday.

Congratulations to the 10 Lucky Winners of Lottery Round 312.


Honestly this is one of the top ones as well for the "less owned people" let's say. The one that won with the highest tickets is 6150 tickets, and that is a very little amount of ticket as well, like seriously little, last I checked that is 6k satoshi right? I get mine from affiliates and rolls etc and not buy any tickets but it was 1 satoshi per ticket. So all ten are under 6.2k tickets, and there are 4 under 600 tickets, there are 3 under 200 tickets, and TWO under 100! Those are huge numbers, like it is nearly freely given.

I can't believe it whenever I see these type of results, it just gives me hope that one day I may end up winning as well. Normally there is at least one person with like 1+ million easily, and that is always like "this dude didn't buy any ticket, he is just a whale who just gambles and gets tickets for free" but this time even that single one is not around.
4157  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why the price of bitcoin is falling on: May 25, 2021, 02:53:29 PM
I believe there is a good chance that none of us will ever get to see anything like this for a while, take in all the bear run you are seeing right now because it could be the last one you will see in a while. We have seen the bull run for such a long period but let’s be honest between those huge runs there was many days of stability, like yeah it did moved from under 4k at March 2020 to over 64k in 2021 and that is a huge run I agree, but the fact is that we had like a huge jump then over a week of nothing at all, then a jump then two weeks of nothing and it kept happening like that, it wasn't daily break ATH over and over again, it was one jump and a long wait and kept repeating that.

I am sure that the bear run will be the same as well, a drop and a week of nothing, but it will not happen for too long because we are known that fourth quarter is awesome in crypto as always so we just need to hold until this summer is over.
4158  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin difficulty will drop in 8 days. on: May 25, 2021, 12:45:08 PM
Usually when the difficulty drops that means it will be easier to mine and that would mean it will be cheaper to mine and that drops the costs of mining which would mean that the price could go down as well. People love talking about halving where the price of mining one bitcoin goes up a lot and that means the price of bitcoin should go up in order to cover that right? That is what people talked about and they always said that halving will result with higher price because miners will not sell for a loss.

First of all miners did sell for a loss for years back in 2018 and 2019 period that is for sure, secondly we are talking about same thing but on the other side, people have sold for a ton of profit as well. Which means if difficulty drops and the cost of bitcoin mining becomes cheaper for these people, they do not need to drop the price, but they do not need to keep it high neither.
4159  Economy / Economics / Re: No new millionaires come from stock market in 2020/2021 on: May 25, 2021, 11:00:35 AM
I believe it has been like that for a while, there hasn't been any new super rich people because they bought some stock and that has been true since the 2008 crash, before that there were few here and there but there are none now.

You are not going to suddenly become super rich, sure if you have 500k dollars in stocks then in a few years you could have a million dollars that's true, but nobody in the world would get in with 10k dollars and have a million dollars in a year, that was never possible for the past decade and will not be in the future ever again neither. That is where crypto comes in, if you put in 10k dollars into crypto you can turn that into a million dollars if you are lucky, sure it requires you to make one super trade and earn like x10+ and more first, then make a few other investments and hope that one of them would hit once again as well, tough chance but still possible.
4160  Economy / Speculation / Re: MELTDOWN - if you don't sell now, YOU WILL LOSE MOST OF YOUR FUNDS!!! on: May 25, 2021, 10:13:15 AM
I do not understand why would we lose our funds if we do not sell, I mean you will lose money if you sell not when you keep holding it. If you end up selling right now and if you bought at higher levels that means right now when you sell you will lose money right?

However if you can hold and if you can wait, do you really think that in the future there is zero chance it will not go over 64k again? Even if you have to wait 2 or 3 months, there is 100% chance in my mind that one day bitcoin will be 64k+ once again, maybe soon or maybe very late but it will definitely happen. You can make an argument about trading and making quicker bucks instead of waiting but I am not a good trader so I would lose more money that way. This is why not selling is the only way to not make any loss right now for me, waiting is the only way to keep profiting in the future.
