Greece may not have a big chance but we are talking about the national team that has the latest MVP of NBA, lets not put that aside, if the teams go head to head or even close for long enough then Giannis may just go berzerk and finish the game for his team, I am not saying it will happen but having a player like that would make any team have a slight chance of going all the way.

USA has a horrible team this year compared to what they used to have but these are still elite NBA players so most likely they will destroy whoever they go against, however it will not be like Angola-USA 60 point game type of situation anymore, it would be more like they are beating them by 10 points on average type of situation. More exhibition matches would have show us more info but the games about to start in 10 days or so, we can still wait.

If you believe that Greece will win because of Giannis, I don't think he will be able to lead his team to win.
He was only an MVP because the play in regular season is different in the Finals, and this FIBA is like the Finals so I believe every team that might possibly face Giannis team have already scouted their best player and like what the Raptors did, if they can stop Giannis, they'll surely win.

Tats possible that Greece is scouted by other team's but they sure will make an adjustment for it. In my point of view, yes Greece will not win this FIBA championship as what you have said because there are other super teams that are more deadly than them. Spain and USA are my favorite to win this prestigious tournament.
We saw the recent game between the Spain and the US, and that pretty tells that the USA team is the better team as they won against the Spain which is a good team as well. Spain is rank number 4 in the list of favorites to win in this competition while USA ranked no. 1 and the only team that has - odds, the rest are + odds.

Here are the list of betting odds for each team. (top 3 , USA    -240 / Serbia +350 / Greece +1000)

Now real btc domination is higher than the graph shows us. Calculation takes a lot of shit coins that have any kind of price, but they are not liquid.
Definitely that's true, the dominant rate is only computed from the data in the exchanges listed, but there are transactions out there that is not tallied, those transactions like OTC also involves a huge amount of money that if monitored would certainly make bitcoin dominant more higher.

Currently at 68% now but if the above-mentioned is included, it could rise as high as 80%, and that's pretty huge and that's how bitcoin dominate the market that it can dictate result to a big price movement of altcoins with just a small move.

Amazing, this is indeed a great news not only for your country but to the entire crypto space, I believe that's a government office and they are adopting with crypto, your country has are going at the right path, and because your government supports crypto, you can easily see an improvement in the long run.

A government agency is a good example because when private companies sees this, they would not doubt anymore.

But McGee is very effective right? He was once the laughing stock of NBA and Shaqtin' A Fool. But he improved a lot with the Lakers that's why they didn't let him go.
I think he learned a lot when he was playing with the GSW, he already won the championship and that already increase his confidence.

He should mature and contribute and give his 100% if he wanted to be successful and have that first ring with Lebron and Davis around, as time is not on his side.
That's all he needs to do, and I think Lebron is a better teammate than Kobe because based on his history, he won championship with stars on his side, good example was when he played at the miami heat, he teamed up with Wade and Bosh, and they did have a great chemistry.

Lebron is only known for kicking out coaches, but loves his teammates.


Even when he was the butt of jokes during his tenure in the shaqtin a fool, mcgee has shown brilliance every now and then. They just highlighted his blunders that's all but he's pretty much getting the job done. Probably just needs to be in the right system like in kerr's. I don't think dwight's going to recover his old self though. Doesn't matter how good a teammate Lebron is. Just like with kobe, attitude would probably get him clashing with his teammates.
Most of his Shaqtin' A Fool was pre-GSW, that's why he has evolved and learn something when he was at GSW. He was given time to shine, but it was not a performance though that someone will be proud of. But when he moved to Lakers last year, we have seen a lot of improved from Javale.

I think he is good at the Lakers system, he easily adopted and his teammates loves him. And that is very important as he gain confidence to really contribute to the Lakers. Dwight is different though, started strong in the league but then gradually lost his confidence and relegate to team that didn't even contend to the playoffs + injuries.

Injuries is the big reason why he gradually loss his confidence, he will be cautious and be more careful when in the court, hence that would make him less aggressive and that will be his weakness because he can be exploited with that.

Most of the players that experience a lot of injuries were not the same team when they come back healthy, well, except for Paul George, but I can name a few that was not able to comeback, that includes Howard of course and one of my favorite players D Rose.
4205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ethereum and stellar on: August 21, 2019, 03:33:50 AM
seeing the current market conditions are very unstable and I see no growth in price values for ethereum and stellar which is very good, but every day the two coins actually fall in price. whether the two coins are good for us to invest
I'm surprise that you considered it good when there is no growth, that's pretty rare, I don't know, maybe you are happy with the price of these 2 coins at dip? Anyway, I love these two coins for long term investment, but if I have to choose only one, I'd rather go with ETH as it's more popular and it's more undervalued now. 

What I observed about stellar is it follows when Ripple is performing positive, so until Ripple starts to recover, I don't trust it will.

Good share, I'm interested in watching movies so I'll definitely search the movies in the link, hopefully it's all available in youtube so I don't need to download it. Hopefully every year there will be new movies that will be release, and hopefully they'll also release a movie with a decent budget so it's more attractive to the viewers, especially those who are not fully acquainted with bitcoin yet.
4207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Almost all the altcoins in red again! on: August 20, 2019, 11:05:31 PM
I just came back from work now and find out that all the altcoins are in red except few one.  I did not know what is really happening and I think traders are dumping for some reason. Is there any fundamental reason why altcoins is getting dump again?
It’s high time to get used to the fact that altcoins react to any movements on the market in this way. Personally, all this doesn't surprise me at all. At the end of each week, I simply look at all the currencies and evaluate their market position. Therefore, I know well that even if 100 coins fall in price, there will almost always be a coin whose trend is upward.
But in general, a constant and steady growth of altcoins can be seen only during the altseason.
We rather look their long term movement, let's say one month and see how much they rise or dropped, because if we look daily, price could only go sideways and that's normal in crypto since the volatility here is very high.

I can understand some traders showing their frustration because they are new here but they will start studying the trends, they'll eventually understand, it's actually all about learning and experiencing to fully understands the market trends and that will help us make the right decision. Just like BTC, it sometimes dump but always bounce back, so if people panic, whales makes money, and they love that, easy money in short term.
4208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ripple (XRP) Bounces But Is It Enough? on: August 20, 2019, 10:44:29 PM
Individually we have our target, for me, it's not enough but a bounce back is always good because it's a positive thing.

What I like to see with XRP is to start to recover so everyone would be happy, the current value of XRP now which is $0.27 is still very low compared to what it has previously achieve which was over $3. With this bounce back and if we are going to see some consistency, then maybe it will start satisfying the investors as not everyone of us has bought at dip, there's a lot who also bought during its peak.
4209  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you fund ICOs ? on: August 20, 2019, 10:26:10 PM
I invested in 1 ICO back in 2017, and it was failed one , that thought me a lesson.Fortunately i only lost 100 USD.
If you invested in the last quarter and decided to hold, then that's a guaranteed loss at that time the market is in bull run and therefore the price has reach its peak, sometimes because we trust the long term potential of the project, we failed to sell it with timing even at times that we can already make a profit on it. If you your coin now is trading in big exchanges and has a great volume, I suggest that you still keep monitoring your coin, it's just down now but who knows it will recover in the future.
Majority of us really use to think that it is best to hold these altcoins for a long term before we realized that most of these altcoins are actually best to be held for a short period of time, because most of the investors in those projects has committed big money and they will move it out as soon as they see any profit in it. So, altcoins will always rise and fall many times and may not continue to grow as we want it.

The best for altcoins is to buy when they are low, and then sell when they are high, the we buy back again when they are low for many possible turnover, that will only be valid with projects that are with real working product though, because we have some projects that once they dump, they will not rise gain till maybe God knows when.
We can't buy altcoins price at its lowest but as it continues to go down, we know it's already dipping and that gives us an opportunity to buy at a very cheap price. Actually last year was the worst year for altcoins, this year there's a slight growth but it's still dependent with BTC as they fall also when BTC falls.
As an investor, we like to sell early as possible, but this market now does not allow us, so we have to choice but to continue to hold and wait for the right timing, if that doesn't come this year, there's next year where we will again expect, we continue to be optimistic but we don't loss our faith because when we invest, we HODL.
4210  Economy / Economics / Re: How negative interest rates affect Bitcoin on: August 20, 2019, 11:08:44 AM
On less developed and underdeveloped countries, they usually experience this negative interest but since there's an alternative like Bitcoin, I think it would help.

However, it's not easy as we think because they will surely weigh the risk between bitcoin and putting their money in the bank, if the negative interest is not that big, then maybe they'll still choose to put their money in the bank than put in BTC where price is very volatile and that requires regular monitoring to ensure they can make the right decision in the event BTC will have a significant dump, of course no deposit can afford to watch their money in BTC falls 50% in just a week or a month.
4211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: I've taken my eye off bounty hunters comments on: August 20, 2019, 10:55:33 AM
Gowithme is a good project and to date has a very good selling value. Tokens are already listed in exchange and have excellent sales volumes.

And by reading articles that many scam projects. I was fortunate because there was no such project that I followed. Bounty hunters need to be more cautious in choosing bounty projects.

At this situation of the market, it's very challenging to the bounty hunters, so everyone should make deep research before joining, otherwise it will end up us just wasting our time and effort. As the market changes, bounty hunters also has to adjust and I know the market now is not as good as before, so there are only few successful bounty in the market and we need to find ways to choose those which has a great chance of success.
4212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Now is the time to invest into alt coin on: August 20, 2019, 10:16:52 AM
Alternative cryptocurrency prices fall when bitcoin begins to rise, this is a long-established trend. A huge number of people at the time of growth are moving from alternative to bitcoin. Typically, alternative cryptocurrency grow when Bitcoin is sideways. So now the future of alternative cryptocurrencies is blurry and not clear, now there is a panic that there will be no rise in prices for alternative currencies.
The panic happens when the market started the correction, I believe it started in the 2nd half of 2018 because I observed my portfolio is also going down.
I am still hesitant in selling my holding despite seeing the price dump because the history is good for the whole market, but that FOMO that cause a new ATH for BTC and most altcoins resulted to a disaster after the correction.

However, it's not correct to panic and dump your altcoins especially if you still believe that the team is still actively developing it, maybe the time has not come yet for altcoins to move its usual positive movement, but eventually it will arrive, so it's future is not blurry.
4213  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What If Nothing Change In 2019? on: August 20, 2019, 09:02:02 AM
People who invest in cryptocurrency should have assumed what they would do if the situation changed for the worse. I sold in plus what I invested in 2018.
That should be the way they think, by thinking of the worse case scenario, that makes us very realistic in our approach when it comes to investing and in fact we are already experiencing it now.

We were able to hold in 2018 despite of the bad market, but our expectation this year is different but it's not happening yet, market is still bad and it seems like some are already losing their hope as soon we will be entering in the last quarter of the year and it will be difficult for altcoins to recover if BTC still struggles to break big resistance, everything now relies in BTC's movement IMO.
4214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some bounty managers have no experience on: August 20, 2019, 08:38:27 AM
The blame is on the project team, if they are legit and responsible, they will hire an experience bounty manager to manage their brand as marketing also reflects their reputation.

For bounty hunters, it's necessary that you don't only look at the project but you should also look the manager you manage it as lack of experience managers might result to bounty hunters not getting paid, despite the project is successful because bounty managers is the bridge between the team and the bounty hunters, they echo information coming from the team.
4215  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Psychological Analysis for trading Crypto on: August 19, 2019, 11:11:06 AM
I guess the whales in the market are using Psychological analysis for their trading.
They are good in reading the reaction of the typical traders when there's a certain big event in the market, (positive or negative), and with that, they can use their power to manipulate so these traders will panic because they are emotional with what they are doing.

Because they are smart, which they can manage pretty well their mind and emotional, they'll be able to exploit the weak hands in the market.
Therefore, if we like to be successful like them, we should also learn their strategy, or think the way they do so we can follow them all the time.
4216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC for Bounty. Why do it? on: August 19, 2019, 11:00:46 AM
often businesses require KYC to sell to other businesses that need it more. they use the cost to deploy more activities.
We can prevent this from happening if we will not just randomly join a bounty campaign and comply with the KYC.
Of course there are still a lot of scammers out there but they can't successfully operate if we bounty hunters are knowledgeable enough to determine which is legit or scam.

There have been some people talking about this and we should be careful with projects that require KYC. Best of all, we should avoid it.
We should be careful but not to avoid it, most legit project requires KYC, and I think it's not risky if we trust them.
If investors are willing to comply with the KYC, we should do the same.
4217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Ethereum replaces Bitcoin someday? on: August 19, 2019, 06:41:37 AM
It will be possible. Both are formulated as anonymous transactions but they have different blockchain system.
Anonymous only because it's just a wallet transaction that can be seen in the blockchain but I don't call it anonymous because trading platforms nowadays are already requiring us some KYC and once it's in the blockchain, transactions are already traceable, and we also have some experts in the space to do that.

But if we weigh the potentials between the two, eth has a lot to offer
Everyone would agree with that.

and can stand up to beat bitcoin.
But this one, I think majority would not agree because majority of the investors are prioritizing BTC in their portfolio then just diverse to alts.
4218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs. Donaire WBSS Bantamweight Final on: August 19, 2019, 06:21:39 AM
^^ Never seen this, thanks for posting. Ring Magazine, being touted as the "bible" of boxing fans and fighter alike, and seeing how they portray Inoue here, indications that they are in the bandwagon for this kid. And this is a good promotion for Inoue so until Donaire derail all the plans for him, I think he will be the next potential cash cow. And if ever he won decisively against Donaire, then we can all validate that he is line for the p4p title.
Hes already in line and going up to ranks fast https://tv5.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/26799294/pound-pound-rankings-naoya-inoue-coming-top-spot-fast
What an amazing stats he do have and imagine with that young age he do able to have these rankings.This kid does really possess something and no doubt
this would be an another cashcow by those greedy promoter and about on the image above,i do remember the anime Hajime Ippo on that image and now they do
apply it on real life.
I'm surprise he was rank number 4, and in case he will be able to beat Donaire in the upcoming fight, that would be a big success for him.
He is still young and will definitely have more fight if he remains unbeaten and I hope he will be able to have more fight in the US, especially in Vegas so his popularity will rapidly grow.
4219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting: Possible to capitalize on shifting lines? on: August 19, 2019, 05:54:59 AM
It's difficult to take advantage whenever the lines moves.
That's not the way I see it, I feel it's the opposite, when the line moves, this means that the said event has a big money on it, most of the time I believe the reason why the line most is because of the public bets focus on one side only and the bookies has to adjust to have some balance action.

In that case, I'll bet on the opposite team as based on my experience, they usually won.
4220  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC volume is decrease significantly, anyone can forecast? on: August 19, 2019, 02:31:08 AM
I don't pay much attention on the decrease of volume, what matters is the price of the BTC.
Current trading volume now is over $13 Billion, and if you ask me, I believe that's a decent volume already, and volume in crypto even in overall is pretty unpredictable, sometimes it would suddenly increase or suddenly drop significantly, so it's not a serious matter.

BTC volume could increase 100% in just a day if there's some hype and it could go down the same rate as well anytime if the opposite happens.
