4161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price struggling on: August 16, 2019, 03:03:45 AM
it's been a steady price for Ethereum since the begining of this month, still moving within 200 - 240$ Usd , do you think this is a bad sign for ETH?

Its really not a good sign of performance in which Ethereum price is in dip again below $200 now. This shows that we are still in bearish trend because not only the Ethereum but the whole market is still in difficult performance but hopefully they will bounce back before this year would end.
Why not just relax, ETH could drop below $200 but it could easily rise to $200, however, it's not what we are looking for, we like to see more consistency from ETH which we haven't seen this year so far.

Now that BTC is back over $10,000 after shaking the market for hours, I think this is a bullish sign and would help eth to be back again if BTC will continue.

This is just flimsy and irrelevant excuses to deny bounty hunters of their reward. To me, a bounty manager should be held liable if and when the project team fails to deliver on the bounty promises.
If that's the case, that would reduce the number of bounty managers in the space because one mistake they might loss their reputation or worse their account in bitcointalk might get red tag. I think we should not totally rely on the bounty manager, we should also make our own research about the project we are promoting, function of the bounty managers are more like to compute the job done or relay information from the team. to the bounty hunters.

This is what PBA Commissioner acted, given Arwind Santos for a 200,000 PHP fined from monkey gesture he did towards to TNT import Terrence Jones.

Quote
San Miguel Beer forward Arwind Santos has been fined P200,000 by the PBA for his monkey gesture directed at TnT import Terrence Jones in the second quarter of Game 5 of the PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals last Wednesday.

PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial, who summoned Santos on Thursday, said the San Miguel player will also render 100 hours of community service and undergo seminar and counseling on equality and racial discrimination.
https://www.pba.ph/news/pba-fines-arwind-santos-200k-for-offensive-behavior

Apologized as well...
https://twitter.com/arwindsotnas/status/1161916928778100736

This should be a lesson to him. I hope in game 6 they play more objectively to their particular same way of playing. One step ahead to grand slam, so SMB must shown a nicely indeed good game.


That's a huge penalty, although he apologized which is good, but it's just right to impose him a monetary penalty.
Because I can't believe on the huge penalty, I made a research on how much Santos is making in the 2019 but could not find the exact figure.

I only found this list of "Top 10 highest paid PBA players" https://www.trendrr.net/10957/highest-paid-most-successful-pba-players-salary-famous-richest/

Santos rank at number 5, so I think this will not hurt him a lot.



Still no takers even SMB is up by 3-2 lead?

I will change it a bit. I will bet for TNT to win the series for BTC0.01. If you pick SMB you will win the same amount. Yes, that was a risk for me knowing TNT are down by 1. If SMB won tonight, you win, if SMB loses, you still have a chance at Game 7. What an advantage.

19:00 is game time. This offers valid only until 17:00, August 16, PHP time.

I will take that. My team is SMB to win the series, I am going at the maximum amount of 0.01 BTC.

Deal?
4164  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If you have 2000$ USD. Where you invest? on: August 15, 2019, 10:09:10 PM
For me, 80 percent of it will go in Bitcoin and 20 percent of  it will go in gold.
I believe in Bitcoin and the massive changes it will bring in the future but I'm the personally love to keep some gold.
For me, it's more like a back up, for unseen situations.
Well, it is something we need some assurance. Crypto isn't 100% sure for market returns by now, but I still believe that it could give something I expect to happen with my investment.
Of course,  I will never risk my $2000 in just a single investment, better to share it into different coins and 30% of it will be going into local investment.
4165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The first country in the world. Officially salary in cryptocurrency! on: August 15, 2019, 09:46:40 PM
New Zealand is having the option to pay with crypto other than of fiat if they will accept it IMO. Knowing the fact that not all of them are with crypto or even totally know crypto, it is not fair for everyone. Thus, giving them an option which one will it gives a fair treatment to the people in New Zealand.

I love this change and this country is really adopting crypto as it looks helpful in the future,
4166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Philippine Basketball Association Finals Discussion on: August 15, 2019, 09:00:10 AM
Who among your here believe that this series is rigged and will go to 7 games? Why?

And do you dare to bet on TNT regardless of the odds in this particular game, the line is not open yet but I can guess that TNT will remain the favorites.
If so, what would be the line using the point spread betting?
4167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale revisited on: August 15, 2019, 08:51:34 AM
sometimes Martingale can give you a victory that is so big, but not always the strategy can provide good luck, even if we carry out the strategy continuously it is likely to suffer substantial losses. I think if we have a big enough balance you should avoid Martingale because it will have an impact on greed
The main purpose of why we are betting using the martingale strategy is not to win big, but to win all the time or most of the time.
However, if we are only focus on our greediness, we might not notice how risky this method is, once we experience our bankroll will be totally wipe out, I'm pretty sure we will realize that this is not a good strategy.

4168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: August 15, 2019, 07:39:11 AM
There are some people who are doing gambling as a profession already although I don't know some of them Cheesy.

Maybe for them, they see gambling as another source of income of another kind of job so they spend most of their time and money gambling. I don't blame them but this is very risky because gambling is a 90% luck with 10% strategy. This gamblers might have another source of income too and that is where they get the money they use to gamble.

If you treat gambling as your profession, you are treating it like your job, and you will ensure you will be profitable as that is your main source of income.
Of course there are people who makes money with gambling consistently, but it's true that we don't know who they are personally but we can search them online.

These are the names of famous people in sports betting, that pretty confirms there are few who make a living.

4169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is parlay an effective betting strategy? on: August 15, 2019, 05:43:18 AM
For 7 legged parlay, I would not be $85 usd, that's too much for me, maybe just around 5 to 10 usd as that is just my range.
But you are lucky to win, and maybe you have a bigger budget in gambling that's why even at a parlay, you are confident to bet that high.
Yes very lucky. For me gambling is a place where looking for pleasure, not the full profit, if fully looking for profit we will be encouraged to play unhealthy or out of control and result in losses.
That's right, that's being realistic since we know that we have less chances in gambling compared to other forms of venture in making money.

I also think that gambling is good if you treat it for full entertainment only and just forget if you loss and not take it seriously where it will make you come up with an experiment just for the hope of making money because that's too costly since this involves money, and the more you gamble, the more money you need to be able to do it.

4171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coindesk & Cointelegraph give Fake News on: August 15, 2019, 05:04:19 AM
News outlet are not so reliable compared to Poloniex itself, medias in general are not transparent, they could publish fake news in return for money.
I think you should just based on the statement directly coming from Poloniex alone if there is, not from the media outlet that you can't trust.
4172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price struggling on: August 15, 2019, 04:50:24 AM
it's been a steady price for Ethereum since the begining of this month, still moving within 200 - 240$ Usd , do you think this is a bad sign for ETH?

Today's update for ETH is $ 183.15.
For me, ETH price movements are still the standard for this year which is between $ 200 - $ 240 and is not a bad sign if I see developments since the beginning of 2019.

That's not a bad sign at all as ETH is still not rising despite the time BTC was bullish.
Now, that BTC is down, it just followed, maybe if ETH will be back below $150, that would give a good buying opportunity, who knows if this market continues to be bearish but I'm not hoping it will happen, I'm still happy seeing BTC trading at $9k over as it's still a good price compared to the lowest this year
4173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Argentina proven BTC to be a store of value class asset? on: August 14, 2019, 11:46:11 PM

I guess we can't see an accurate metrics or figures for the actual usage, only approximate figures. But I believe we are in the increasing trend even small step would be a great improvement for the adoption.
From time to time, other small countries will fully be adopting crypto and consider as a valuable asset.
Argentina figured it out that Bitcoin is something we could use in the near future. This is also a way not to be letting behind from new technology and this system is a big help to make our life easier than of before.
4174  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Psychological Analysis for trading Crypto on: August 14, 2019, 09:54:52 PM
Whatever type of analysis you're doing, don't base your entire trade off of that because TA and psychological analysis is just something that gives you an edge and something to help you make a decision while trading. You should also be adding your own thoughts into trades. Nothing's going to always give you an exact target price, but TA gives you something to work with at the least so that you can plan out points to take profit, where to set stoplosses and such.
Definitely, it was. We can't just fully relying into TA's or any technical analysis, candle stick or etc...Most important we are aware of the current market flow and how we adopt into it. Many traders we're losing cause they are on the TA's all the time and never have their own market understanding.
There is something we do while trading and giving extra effort to be more knowledgeable than of simply following TA's with others.
4175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do we need anonymity? on: August 13, 2019, 01:49:11 PM
It is our right to remain anonymous in the public and it is also our protection, but what it makes a change now is that the government wants to be transparent. It has the advantage as it could stop those individuals who tried to do illegal activities and they couldn't hide anymore their real identity.
Though some of us have good intentions to keep anonymous, however, it is good to be fair and transparent.
4176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banning bitcoins is against the law on: August 13, 2019, 01:20:58 PM
Which law my friend? It changes for every country.my country may ban, your country may not because our laws are different and its not about the international laws.
I'm good that my country never looks crypto as an illegal platform, but they look it good and helping the community.

OP tried to figure out how India adopts crypto and how their government leaders appreciate Bitcoin. They never say it good and never look helping with them instead, they consider this a root cause of banking institutions getting down. They never put crypto illegal but they'll only give a warning, not to used crypto instead to stick with their fiat money.
4177  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Becoming More Available? on: August 13, 2019, 09:13:26 AM
Europe for one has steadily accepting bitcoin specially most stores there are using Lightning Network already.
If this will be implemented and adopted by different countries, bitcoin will become the best payment system as it will never goes off line compared to other payment which is centralized. The development will easily push through if the government are very supportive with crypto, of course regulation is already included and we will see some limitations that we are enjoying now, but we need to accept that in order for bitcoin to grow and develop continuously.
4178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Imagine that you're new to crypto now on: August 13, 2019, 08:59:24 AM
Before joining something new, someone might have lectured you about it before joining. Joining cryptocurrency requires much knowledge and patience for you to excel in it. Crypto is not all about investment rather its about gaining experience of how to store up your asset for future purposes cos we're on digital era now. Everything it's been digitalize
First thing you need to have is knowledge about crypto and with proper knowledge, you won't be able to make lots of big mistakes and at the same time, you will also see the potential of crypto and that will lead you to think of investing.

As we stay longer, that will help us mature and earn more experience and we will also understand the nature of crypto as an investor since it's different compared to other form of digital investment, just imagine that you are in the early stage and the space is not yet regulated, so your venture here is high risk but you would also think of the reward more.
4179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 on: August 13, 2019, 06:54:21 AM
Pacman is very close to retirement. Fighting Errol Spence might be a mistake because he will certainly lose and receive a purse not as large as a loss versus Floyd.
I agree that this is a very risky and dangerous fight for Pacquiao because of all the tools that Spence had, young, tall and lanky, powers in both hands, very defensive and the current p4p in my list. But we all know that Pacquiao even at this age, really surprises everyone specially his impressive wins against Keith Thurman.

But what can he do if Floyd doesn't want to fight him? So Pacquiao has to move on and sought the next dangerous fighter out there, either Spence or Porter, even if the pay is way less than fighting Floyd (win or lose).

Thurman was also a dangerous fighter, he was undefeated but Manny beat him convincingly, we can't underestimate him because he has a lot of experience in boxing and in fact he is already a legend and if they would agree with the fight, that means Manny's camp sees some big possibility that he can win the fight.
4180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: August 13, 2019, 06:39:22 AM
Many people try to make the maximum money from gambling but only few succeed in doing it . And rest of them lose the money and I am the one who stays away from this philosophy that gambling is their for us to make money and survive our life through that money . I know my luck and what is better for me .
That's true, most of the gamblers especially the beginners does not understand their chances, they tend to be more focus on the possibility that they can win and if they win, they think they can consider gambling as their source of income. Also, there are lot of videos online convincing gamblers that it's possible to make a living in gambling but in the end they just want to sell their picks, and somehow that influences the curious minds of the newbies.
