4261  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No price correction for bitcoin? Did it already happen? on: December 26, 2020, 11:13:53 PM
Is it weird that there still has not been a price correction for bitcoin? What does it depend on?
There are no correction because obviously, no sellers in the market. I think we will have correction if there is a bad news, but so far all crypto related websites reported all positive that's why the price continue to go up and new all time high are going to be set before the end of the year.

And also, the bitcoin narrative has change a lot, still a speculative asset, but investors are getting smart because of the whole "companies investing and used bitcoin as an hedge". So these companies are not going to sell for a profit, they are going to be long term holders.

A new name wants to fight Whyte:

Hunter: I Want Dillian Whyte Next But Really Anyone Can Get It

Quote
“I would love to fight Dillian Whyte,” Hunter told Fite’s Matt Striker following his win, which aired live on Fite Pay-Per-View.

https://www.boxingscene.com/hunter-i-want-dillian-whyte-next-really-anyone-get-it--154307

Looks like Whyte is now the sweepstakes in Heavyweight, Lol, anyhow, I don't think his name rings a bell to me in that division. Whyte might be looking for a more established name in heavyweight not name Joshua, Wilder or Fury.
Nah, the sweepstakes is still Fury, then Joshua. It's just the circumstances surrounding him right now had attracted a lot of heavyweights that is looking for big fights, like Hunter. But we all know that Whyte won't choose him. It's either Povetkin or other big names.

Like what the other posters said, Ruiz Jr will be a good fight for him to show his talent and be the next in line for title fights. And if he won, and Povetkin has fully recovered then they he can continue with his revenge fight.
4263  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New ATH, New ATH, New ATH on: December 26, 2020, 04:28:25 PM
We have crossed $25k and it’s another ATH? Well, it’s not anymore when we broke the 2017 ATH. I don't have the feel before that as I was not much involved with bitcoin before 2018.
Everyday, we see ATH now but I don't think it feels like the one which take a lot of days.
How do you feel exactly when you see new ATH each time and how do you feel when you see ATH broken after long break.

Still 5 days before end of 2020 and I think bitcoin will continue to increase and it's really great to see the current value of bitcoin that keeps on increasing. But, I still wait for correction so that I can buy again in a cheaper price.
Correction is bound to happen.

But yeah, let's celebrate seeing the price breaking the $25k barrier. We have a lot of arguments before and I would say that people do think that it is not reachable in 2020, but here we are right now. A little more push and we are in the $30k. I'm also very happy to see my my portfolio growing in terms of fiat. Nevertheless, I won't move any single satoshi, probably if we go to $100k or more then that is a different story. Grin. So again, congrats to everyone who have stayed in the market and continue to HODL.
4264  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Ethereum is said to be One Step ahead of Bitcoin on: December 26, 2020, 04:02:29 PM
Didn't click on the link however, I don't think that Ethereum can surpassed bitcoin.

(1) Bitcoin is the prime mover of crypto, and as such it will continue to enjoy the support of crypto community, no matter what.

(2) There's no need to compare though, Ethereum has different used, it was build as a Dapp while Bitcoin as payment system, although is has evolved as store of value now. And Ethereum is so much faster, prior the the fees increasing in the last 6-8 months because of ETH 2.0. So now they have a problem with scalability same as bitcoin.
4265  Economy / Speculation / Re: All in the name of money making on: December 26, 2020, 03:33:53 PM
Many came into crypto space to earn money but some are too deep into making it big with crypto investment so they always feel like not getting enough when the coin they invested money in pumps high, they want to earn millions from a single project, I've seen few people ending up with nothing going down this part
Not just many come to earn money, but most of them thinks it's a get rich quick scheme, which is not. We hear this kind of mind set specially in the bull run. Even others quit their job because they think that can make easy money here.

The fact is you don't have to make thousands of dollars from a single project, they can always come from different projects, also it's wrong to depend on a single project
Of course, you can earn from a lot of projects you invested, from top 10 altcoins to shitcoins (assuming you know when to enter and to exit). Rinse and repeat.
4266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: December 26, 2020, 03:11:46 PM
I would erase the Bucks, they are only good in the regular season.

They need to prove me wrong first.

I don't know what Bucks will do in play-offs but for Yesterday's games Bucks was a clear favorite against Golden State. This 39 point difference win is no surprise. Bookmakers gave only 1.10 odds for Bucks.
Klay is not going back soon, so Warriors can't even make play-offs this year.

All I hope for the Bucks is to improve and be more competitive in the playoffs.

Last season they are the best team in the regular season but I think this season is different, and they might not even finish the top 1 in the East as we have the Nets who are also doing pretty well with the leadership of Durant and Irving. honestly, I like this way so people's attention are not only on the Bucks, and less pressure on their part, especially on Giannis.
They probably finished in the 1-3 spot but won't dominate the East just like what they did in the last 2 years finishing as the top seed in the East. They also had a couple of changes that didn't improved them, while Nets (with KD) and the Celtics and even the 6'ers upgraded it will be hard for Giannis to dominate again.

But the most important is how they play in the playoff because they usually choke.
4267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can you stake...? on: December 25, 2020, 04:12:11 PM
I think you can stake with the same IP address at the same PC using a single core node.

So definitely there will be no problem with two separate PC with the same IP address. But it's better to know what crypto you are planning to do this kind of setup because every staking might have a different protocol. So our advise might be wrong here.
4268  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another invesment bank plans to invest on Bitcoin on: December 25, 2020, 03:26:42 PM
I've always wondered why this kind of news appears when bitcoin prices are rising. Why didn't they offer people to buy bitcoin when it was worth 4-5-6-7-8K?
All this makes me think that the price will fall soon!
Maybe there are companies who already invested when the price is still that low but didn't get any media attention. Remember that when we are in a bull run, every news counts that's why we will hear them more often in a positive sentiments to boost the price even higher. That's why crypto media says that bitcoin narrative has change because after the price hits $15k-$16k, this news comes out making bitcoin  as an hedge, besides being a speculative asset.
4269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Paying with crypto for government services on: December 25, 2020, 01:47:47 PM
Do you think governments around the world will allow people to pay with crypto for their services? Or is it still too early to tell? Will accepting crypto payments directly, increase people's confidence into crypto/Blockchain tech? If not, why? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Smiley
I think it will be more of a function of a CDBC nd if my memory serves me right, Maduro's Petro evolved into this, as he allowed government services to be paid with government back up coins. However, I don't know if crypto, bitcoin in particular will be utilize by government. It will be too much of a hassle for them and they don't want them to be a crypto holder. Unless the country is really pro bitcoin, it will have a lot of disadvantage of them. So it's going to be CDBC and not our dear crypto.

James Harden must quarantine until Friday; could play in opener

Harden wanting to go so just messing up with his team now, I thought they will do great with John Wall but it seems like Harden is not anymore as hungry as he was before with his team, so the team can't rely on him, and with this news about his violation, it will affect his bid for MVP this season which we know he is always at the top 5 or even top 3.
Yeah, saw pics of Harden in a private party and my initial thought is that this is not good. So the NBA has found out, fine $50 because of that irresponsibility. It's just the beginning of the season and it's seem that Harden has started in the wrong foot here. The pandemic is not over, even if it Christmas holiday, everyone should follow safety protocols, specially a high level athlete like him shouldn't be seen like this. I'm not sure though if he had issue a public apology for his act.
4271  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wow, The Best Crypto Christmas 🌲 Ever! on: December 25, 2020, 12:49:57 PM
Yeah, I think everyone is in the jolly mood this Christmas because it been a continues pump since last week, a super rally that we didn't expect (at least in my case). So let's just celebrate this holiday and share our blessings to other who are in need. And we have to thank bitcoin for that, eventhough in the beginning it was really a tough year specially with the Covid-19 in March, at least we are going to end the year with a new all time high. Merry Christmas to everyone, whichever part of the world you are.  Grin
4272  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is headed for the stars, but... on: December 25, 2020, 12:14:19 PM

But if you can, hang onto the Bitcoins you have. Because you will be rich when BTC goes to a $million or higher.

Cool

Hodling bitcoin is not the sure pattern to have profit. Learning to trade it I think will benefit more to someone. Although anyway way you can lose your investment both for hodling and trading but faster gains come from trading it because a daily trader of bitcoin who makes profit is better comparing just hodling.


Yeah, but not everyone is built for bitcoin trading, because will likely loss if they know how to trade in the first place that's why the whole HODL mentality steam from. And those who are selling are the weak hands, they shouldn't be buying bitcoin in the first place or at least didn't know the ups and downs of the market and will simply be pressured to push the sell button if bitcoin price suddenly went on a flash crash. But there could be newbies learning from their mistakes so from weak hands -> strong hands in the future and not going to sell unless there is a needed circumstance, like bringing food for their love ones.
4273  Economy / Speculation / Re: $25,000 can be achieved by end of year? Or January 2021? on: December 24, 2020, 09:56:23 PM
Well we still have plenty of days ,few days ago bitcoin struggling to come back at 19k yet it breaks 24,000 ,so what's impossible for bitcoin to achieve ?

i'm still in good faith that another ATh will happen before the year ends ,specially that Ripple investors seems to be changing course now.

There are issue with Ripple right now, I check it today a 25% decline in the last 7 days? What gives?

So I don't know if Ripple investors are shifting to bitcoin, or the king is still unstoppable at this point and investors are really targeting that big $25k before the end of this year. Why not though, we all know that the market moves in a positive direction when everyone is still in FOMO season.
4274  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cash out or HODL - Bitcoin? on: December 21, 2020, 10:47:34 PM
Here we are again at crossroads to choose whether to cashout bitcoin which we have or else Hodl for some more time? This week is undoubtedly most complicated week of the year for bitcoin users because history has not been so kind to bitcoin towards the end of year's post bullruns. If Bitcoin has already achieved its ATH for the season then it's better to cashout but if Bitcoin is going to surge further then HODling is sensible but how do you figure out as we cannot depend of predictions since it fails most of the time. What's your opinion?

Well if you don't need the fiat equivalent of your BTC then why sell it today? It just make things complicated when you need fiat in this holiday so you are torn between selling them to enjoy the Christmas season with your family and buying gifts or just HODL till next year and make more money (assuming that bitcoin will go on another massive run 2021).

So it's really up to you, weigh in the situation right now, and make sure to make the right decision.
4275  Economy / Speculation / Re: Covid 2.0 UK has suffered massively and BTC is dropping on: December 21, 2020, 12:03:02 PM
I don't think that it has to do with the Covid 2.0 in UK. Market is due to correction anyway, at least Sunday in my time and people are just taking profits for the holiday season. No need to connect the dots for every negative news we've hear or seen on the news about the pandemic and relate it to bitcoin market.

Market has matured already, and if we are in a bull run that we have seen in the past days, doesn't matter if there is negative news, the greed factor and FOMO will just take over. And since it gradually slowing down, as obviously, people are just selling for profits.
4276  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Bitamp Bitcoin Web Wallet - Send & Receive Bitcoin Instantly! on: December 20, 2020, 09:50:44 PM
Bitamp can you think of adding option to sign a message from Bitamp wallet?
This option exists for Electrum wallet, and blockchain.com had this option before but I don't know any online wallet with this function.

Yeah, this is a good option to add, not priority but a nice to have to be included later. It is very important for us to prove that you own the private keys, as the saying goes, 'not your keys, not your coins'. Although there's a lot of site that we can use to verify message, but having this on bitamp is a win-win situation for your users.
4277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shall I HODL DOGE? on: December 20, 2020, 09:23:01 PM
The problem with Doge is that there are no development from behind, the only reason why it has existed till now is that it is a prime mover in crypto, become a meme coin, have it moments during bull run. And then gamblers love them as alternative like LTC, specially that ETH and BTC's fees are increasing.

Hard to give financial advise here, but If I'm in your shoes, I will dump it long time ago and switch to BTC or LTC. Goodluck in your decision.
4278  Economy / Speculation / Re: We should stop using the term "All Time High" on: December 20, 2020, 03:54:26 PM
Doesn't make any difference at all to be honest.

All time high (ATH) is not only being used in bitcoin or crypto though, this term has been in existence in traditional markets as well. So we just apply in to crypto without getting into an argument about this semantics and whatnot. We shouldn't get things complicated there, stick to the basics and all will be fine. If you prefer High to date, then that is good as well.
4279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Golovkin vs. Szeremeta IBF Middleweight Title on: December 20, 2020, 03:22:33 PM
Instead of making such easy fights, bith Canelo and GGG should have a third fight.
If money is the reason both id them fight easy boxers, making a trilogy would bring them even more.
I think the ball is on the side of Canelo here, he is the A-side now, so he dictates which fighter he wants to fight next, if he said he wants GGG then it will happen. Money could be one reason, but a proud Mexican like Canelo has pride as well. He already thinks the beat GGG fair and square so there's nothing to prove anymore.

Who these two going to fight next? Another boxer from top10-20?
Most like in the top 10, and relatively unknown fighters.
4280  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: PornHub on: December 20, 2020, 02:47:51 PM
Hehe I can see another issue that will be thrown at bitcoin by critics. There's the undying bitcoin use to buy drugs and other illegal stuffs in the dark web then there's use in illegal online gambling. Next will be bitcoin use to support exploitation of women and child abuse.
Great weapon to attack bitcoin in my country. this issue could well be criticized against an oriental cultural background.
Bitcoin usage policy will become more difficult.
Yeah, it could be but I don't see any issues with that though, bitcoin has and will be used in dark web, we all that and other illegal stuff. But it doesn't mean that bitcoin doesn't are design solely for this purpose. As for the news, of course, we take this as positive. Because the sex industry is a tight knit, and so with Pornhub now accepting bitcoin, it will bring awareness and possible investors for us, win-win situation so I would say that this is a very welcoming news for bitcoin.
