I think AJ is not thinking of that possibility because he is so confident in this fight.

Well, if he losses, his career will be as not as bright as it was but if he can fight an opponent with a good standing in his division and win, maybe he will be back again. Just like Manny Pacquiao who loss against Jeff Horn but Manny were able to rise again by defeating another boxer and Jeff Horn was defeated by Crawford a great boxer as well, so that could scenario possibly happen if AJ will continue to work to get back in the top and he does not need to face Ruiz again.

That'a the risk in participating in bounty, therefore you need to study what you are promoting that they will have a great chance of success so you will be paid according to what is written in the allocation.

Some project even are successful sometimes does not pay their bounty participants, they are scammers actually, that's another risk, and other thing is some campaign does not pay the bounty outright to avoid the dump, that one is understandable, it's better to wait until the market is in good condition and selling only a portion would help for the coin not to dump.

The team are existing an effort just to list a coin in an exchange, therefore they will find a way to prevent the coin from dumping.

There are people who complains but not everyone will complain, those who short BTC will definitely be happier if the price continues to go down.
In this market, we have different interest that's why the price is so volatile and we can never change that reality.

For now, let's work with our interest and if we think Bitcoin will again recover, there's nothing to fear on the situation because that is needed is very simple, just hold, relax, and wait for the right time both altcoins and bitcoin will start rising again. We are not new to this situation, market changes occurs a lot of times in different times, so even if the market is unpredictable, we already have an idea that what is happening now is normal in crypto.

I think they aren't serious at all because not all bounty participants receive their reward.
Maybe only those who complains have receive like crairezx20, the rest were disregarded as they thought they are not after of the bounty again.

They should send all the pending rewards if they want to fully get back their good reputation again, all of them help for this project to be a success, all of them deserve a reward of their effort.

That is not impossible for bitcoin, if you go back to 2017, bitcoin started less than $1000 but at the last month of 2017 which was the ATH of BTC, it reaches to almost $20K, that figures if we will compute would tell that BTC has increase x20 in just a year.

Maybe this time it could be different but the fact that it has previously achieve that good movement, it could possible happen in the future.
It doesn't matter if it will take 2-5 years as long as OP will achieve that ultimate success of x10.

I think if this kind of contract was offered to Lin, he would not refuse and will stay in the NBA.
IIRC they both played together with the Lakers before, so they already know each other and lin is a good back up PG who can consistently shoot and drive the ball, but that's only possible if Lebron again will give way, we know he sometimes act as point especially in crucial situations.

We are hoping that the altcoins market will start a rally soon, hopefully this year but it's true that we don't know when.
I wasn't expecting BTC to rise that fast in the first half of the year, but it happen, when BTC had a great 1st half, it struggles in the 2nd half that's why we are still seeing a price sideways movement from $9K to $10K.

Our happy moments is when bitcoin will cross a new high as most likely altcoins will rally also.
That's the moment I've been waiting for and I will bet on it that it's gonna be the same patter that will happen.
Let's just continue to hold while waiting and enjoy trading BTC in short term since it's volatility is good now, down 5% now, soon it will be up 5% again.

Definitely there's still more chance for a bull run to take place this year, we have not ended the 3rd quarter yet, and based on history, the 4th quarter is the year which bitcoin rises and I believe people are still hopeful that to happen.

Losing hope because bitcoin now looks bearish again is bad, that only shows our confidence in bitcoin is not that strong, BTC if we look at the big picture is very profitable this year, an investment that grows more than 100% in a given year, for me, that's a good performing asset.

That's the reason, Bittrex is an old exchange that are still reliable until now, and they are already profitable so there is no need for them to share their profit by creating a token.

Unlike Binance which started in ICO and they got their funds to operate from the amount they raise, so they are oblige to continue with the system and as the exchange grows, the holders will also enjoy with the value increment, this is an effective way to market as those holders of the tokens will surely support the exchange than other exchange so they will also benefit when it grows.

No, we will likely to see over $10K again, my observation says that when bitcoin drop below $10K, it did not continue to drop, instead, it's going back to $10K again. More likely what we are witnessing now is not a bearish movement but just a normal price fluctuation between that range.

Current price of BTC now is down to $9700, but I know this would not take long and we will come back to $10K again, that's based on the previous trends this month, so hopefully when it come back again, it will come back strong and will once again trade at around $12K-$13K.

All we can do now is just hope the recovery of bitcoin will continue and will give us a good price by the end of the year.

If the trend will happen again, we can expect that investors will also put their money in altcoins.
Let's say the institutional investors will likely focus on bitcoin, of course that is possible because they want a strong asset and that is clearly bitcoin.

However, due to the bull run, FOMO could happen and when we say FOMO, regular investors will come into FOMO and they will be the one who will mostly touch altcoins so that would result to an increase of altcoins as well, the reality says that the last bull run the most profits are coming from altcoins.

Go with your maximum goal with is x10 because that goal is realistic.
At the current price of $10,000, bitcoin just need to rise to $100,000 in order for you to achieve your goal, if BTC continues to grow and we will see some great adoption, I think in less than 5 years, you will already achieve your goal.

You have created an impressive plan, you are not exposing much of your income in BTC so I know you can wait if it will take longer before it will be realize.

A small bet would do, that x13 odds can still be increase if he will use a price boost in spotsbet. (checking now, I will get 14.20 with price boost)
here's the betting line, https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/international/fiba-world-cup/philippines-italy-5d5a95cbf2a829e6af592614

Bet on it now because the line changes, Philippines is also good but they have to be very lucky to beat a better team like Italy.
This is going to be a big upset in FIBA if Philippines win.

I can tell that you are not gambling in sports or gambling using the sportsbook.
To tell you, there are different odds in election, of course those who are popular and people think will win will be the favorites, and normally, when you bet 100 usd, you don't win equal 100 usd, it's gonna be lower, depending on how popular the candidate is.

Lastly, sportsbook don't loss, they accept bets from different bettors and they balance the bets because they are only after with the commission from the winning bets.

I think that's correct, but I will not loss my hope that one day it will come back again.
Bounty hunting has a correlation with the market status, now, the market is not blooming yet, so the moment it will start, bounty hunters will also start promoting successful projects, and just like investors, bounty hunters will also have to deal with if the market is bad.

Therefore, bounty hunting should not be considered as a main job as there is no assurance with this, although now, there are some people who are making money with it, but there's significant drop of income compared to what they have made in the year 2016 and 2017.

The market is going through different situation, this is the situation where investors are worried on the future of crypto because the overall performance is not appealing, especially the altcoins market, however, if they will try to analyze the previous movement, they will see a pattern and might have a hint on what is going to happen next when this market starts to rise.

If they believe, they won't panic, I like it when majority of the investors panic because that will dump the price lower which gives an opportunity to buy for the real believers.

Just to be safe, take the plus points, Italy is a good team and they have 2 NBA players playing for them.
Look at the roster. http://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/team/Italy#|tab=roster

Philippines has only one NBA caliber players which is their center but the height will kill the Philippines since Italy as an average of 6'7" while Philippines is only 6'4". http://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/team/Philippines#|tab=roster

The government knows they can't stop the popularity of bitcoin, this is a global currency and a global investment at the same time, therefore the potential to grow fast is very high, I think now we've seen some improvement in regulation as there are already actions to regulate on most countries where crypto is already starting to gain popularity.

I'm confident that we the growth of crypto, regulation are also at place because that is necessary for continues growth, we don't want see the bad image of crypto and at the same time, the government does not also want to see an increase of scams and fraud, so they'll try their best to stop or minimize it.

If that is in the rules they can do that, that's why it's important that we read the TOS  before signing up in a gambling sites, most newbies just sign up without reading and when time comes they are required the KYC when it's in the rules, they will complain.

For me, I think KYC is not necessary anymore even if you win big amount, if you are a gambler and been using the site regularly and you don't break any rules that triggers them to require you a KYC, then you will be fine. My personal experience tells me that gambling sites does not require KYC, in my many years of gambling, I also won big but I was never required to do a KYC compliance.

I would not be too confident again, I will just wait until altcoins will finally have its rally.
What I can agree with you is on the price of altcoins getting cheaper, I like that as that gives us more opportunity to buy cheap but instead of expecting altcoins will recover soon, I would just calmly hold and just wait until the entire market will be healthy again.

This year, the recovery of bitcoin is still not full, so I don't expect a big positive result to the market, maybe next year, maybe the following year we will see altcoins pumping again but we can assure that, let's just continue to believe and hold and accumulate if we still can.
