4261  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bit Coin dropped 12% since morning ,where is it going? on: January 17, 2021, 11:31:46 AM
As per coinmarketcap, we have drop +7% in the last 24 hours, pegging the price currently at $34,800. So dip continues, but the good news is that we are still above $30k and maybe this will be the support level until we either have a break out run start of the week.

So I would say that we might trade sideways for now, expect the price go on as high as $38k. Perhaps the market has somewhat slow down, although I haven't seen any negative news as of late, there are threads saying otherwise. But going to $10k? I doubt that we can go that low as the opportunity to buy exist at any levels.

Anybody here looking forward to see the Lakers and Nets match up? with complete roster.


Must be a good NBA Finals if these two will eventually meet.

I like how Harden fitted to the team, but hopefully this kind of production will be consistent, one game is not enough to conclude that they have a solid chemistry. Remember, Irving has not been inserted in the line up yet, things could change if he is in the game, might as well trade him I guess if he is not effective to blend with these two MVPs.
Yeah, looks like he found his home again.
His high stats even in assists and rebounds proves he is trying to be better.
Well. I still don't like superpowered teams.  Grin Sorry about that.

I guess we will next time if the same thing will work out if Irving is inserted. In chemistry, there is no doubt with KD and Harden.
On the other side, the Rockets was left without a star and had a difficult time with the Spurs.

Harden had someone now whom he can trust, I just like how the way he handle the ball, he seemed to be a better PG than Kyrie Irving IMO.  I watch the live game but was not able to finish the game, what I like which I think the highlight of the game was the pass from Harden to Green and a great finish.

Green was the one of the recipient, perfect pass. Yes, seeing Kyrie Irving in the team might change the complexion again, nothing has change on Harden, hope he can improved and play some defense. Because in a close game, it might spell the difference between winning and losing.

Against the Lakers, it will be very interesting, might be a preview of the NBA Finals,

Regarding super power teams, do you guys remember the the late NBA commissioner David Stern has vetoed that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers, just imagine Paul and Kobe back then, that's already a super team, https://ca.nba.com/news/this-date-in-nba-history-dec-8-commissioner-david-stern-vetoes-chris-pauls-trade-to-the-los-angeles-lakers/s3zzl4imi12c1uhc5a85va9sw.

I will say that hype still continues, digital currencies, crypto currencies, people can't distinguished it.  Grin

For them it they can exchange them to fiat then they will it as money. And I think that poll also reflects the majority of sentiments in this community, but one can argue that it's debatable. I think they carefully chooses the word here, Lol, but I guess it will be the same results if they replace it with "cryptocurrencies" and maybe they will get a lot of response, 80%++. Smiley
4264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas (No date yet) on: January 16, 2021, 01:22:52 PM
It's questionable if Dasmarinas can offer resistance or can he keep up with Inoue's power and speed, the only fighter I can think of who can keep up and can offer resistance is Casimero, and this is a good tune-up fight for Inoue, we all want to see the two fighters go at each other Inoue and Casimero but we all know promoters and media want to maximize exposure and income for this fight and it could happen if the pandemic is contained.

Of course he can offer some resistance, but the question is how long? Maybe he can stand toe to toe with Inoue in the first few rounds, but after that Inoue will take over as he already know Michael's strength and re-adjust and probably this fight won't last 10 rounds, to be honest.

I dig Dasmarinas highlights here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPW_4JSxkMQ

We want to see Casimero vs Inoue in the future, the fight could be very close, Casimero is a brandish fighter and his style might pose problems for Inoue.
4265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Current Market Condition on: January 16, 2021, 12:42:06 PM
All markets are down now a days, Not only crypto but all other markets are also falling. I know fluctuations are part of the market. But when a market goes down badly, there is a reason. But I don't understand at all what is going on in the market right now, Because I didn't find any news about it. There is no news that makes me think that this could be the reason for downfall. If any of you know about it, please comment

I'm not seeing crypto market going badly as you describe, still above $35k so what's the big fuzz about?

About the recent dip, just normal, I think since we have been very bullish in the last 2 months or so, does it mean it will not stop. That's very wrong mindset in crypto, as you have said fluctuations are part of the market, so what we witnessed is how unstable it is.

We don't need news to see the market goes down, if people are selling it means that they're obviously liquidating their assets. And it's weekends, by the way, 90% of the time traders sell off to get profits to enjoy their weekends and then goes back Monday.

Good catch.

Thanks, yeah that's the trick that these scammers are trying to pull off, if you are not very careful, it's hard to see the difference, because the look and UI display is the same.

So be extra careful now because lots of new fake websites are being created by scammers.

Yes, lots of fake site are being created by cyber actors like mushrooms, if one site gets remove, they are ready with a fresh new site.

Unfortunately, the site is still up, we need more people to report it ASAP.
4267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua on: January 16, 2021, 11:00:30 AM
This fight is a defining moment for both fighters, whoever wins in this match will become the undisputed and lineal champion of our present generation, undefeated lineal and undisputed champion these are the titles that the winner is going to hold, so much is at stake on this fight, I'm sure both fighters will heavily prepare for this fight, this is the most important fight of their lives.

Yes, lineal belt goes as far back as Muhammad Ali: https://boxing.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_lineal_boxing_world_champions#Heavyweight

So it recent it's already Tyson Fury, and he wins this fight, he will then become the undisputed champion in recent memories. All British showdown as well, so whoever wins will also become the best British boxer right now and there could be more sponsorship coming along the way (more money as well).

As you have mentioned, Djokovic should be the clear favourite here.

But I wouldn't discount that he can be upset by the young tennis generations of today. They are slowly in the rise specially last year, and the big 3 or big 4 is already ageing, and I would say that Djokovic should be the last one amongst them that are going to stay. Federer's body is giving out, he will not participate in this tournament because he is still in recovery mode, while Murray is already declining very bad and will not be in the AO as well. While Nadal is on the struggle.
4269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: January 15, 2021, 11:56:38 AM
I get that Kyrie + Harden + Durant "if works" would be a great team, however even if it works, I doubt it would be a championship level team and if it doesn't work out and they have problems? Nets lost their future for absolutely nothing.

Again, they are betting that the trio will produce multiple rings for them at least because it breaks out. So we will see if the gamble will pay off or not.

Brooklyn nets is a big market but their teams are tanking, they decided to make a big improvement and in every action there's no assurance so we can understand why they are gambling this big for this deal.

They are trying to make things works for the sake of getting a title.

It's a gamble since we don't know if this trio will able to provide them the ring that they really aiming. All three superstars are sscoring
champs, it's a big test for Coah Nash on how he'll be able to blend this three plus the role players that will complete the starting five.


It will really be a big test for Coach Nash on how to contain the big 3. Usually though, there could be argument that as Nash is a good player himself, even got a nod for a MVP, he knows that are the inside the mind of these 3 and probably he could understand them better and make a better fit for the team.

So yes there could be a big pressure on Nash right now, but he can pass the test and do hope to bring them in this year's Finals.
4270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What threatens Bitcoin? on: January 15, 2021, 10:58:15 AM
I'll probably say that it's more on regulations, forcing exchanges to do full and mandatory KYC and there are going to be a FINCEN meeting if I'm not mistaken this year, so I'm sure there will be more regulatory framework as far as bitcoin and the rest of cryptos. And now that big companies are into bitcoin, these financial governing bodies will have to do something, specially if we are going to talk about 'tax' so there could be new guidelines.

51% attack? Nah, it will take loads of money to perform this, so the return is not worth the risk. Quantum Computers? it might take years to developed something that can break ECDSA algorithm. And if ever there was pretty sure that bitcoin as technology will adapt and evolved in the future (you can't code a software for a hardware that doesn't exist yet).
4271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: May 7th, 2140 on: January 14, 2021, 11:31:39 PM
As far as the last bitcoin mined, I don't think we need to wait though, perhaps our best gauge could be much early, I would say 2038, we would say that "almost bitcoin are mine".

Currently, we're almost at 19 million mine, and in 2038 closer to 20 million, and then the last million bitcoin will be mine after that.

In also coincides with this:

4272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: January 14, 2021, 10:16:46 PM
We talked about Brooklyn Nets here too many times and highlight their lack of scorers besides Kyrie and Durant. Now they fill that gap with one of the best players in NBA. We have a new super-team in NBA now guys.

I have no doubts that Durant and Harden will share ball and play good together. Nets looks very strong now after this trade. I'm patiently waiting their first games.
When would be his debut game with the Brooklyn? I'm sure he missed playing with his former mate on Oklahoma before and now they're back together, they really are stronger this time.

They've played today although haven't seen him, still they won the game against Knicks.

Its also just weird that even though most of the superteams are being formed because of this cuts other players are receiving in their salary but its also another good thing because it just shows that some players are willing to receive this cuts just to make their team better. I guess the debut would be once the trade clears up with most teams involve. Its a 4 team trade from the news that I have read and Oladipo is still being looked to be traded.

People are saying they should trade Kyrie for Westbrook and get the original OKC 3 back together. 

Nobody can say Harden is chasing money, that's for sure.  On top of passing up a contract extension that would have made him the first NBA player to make $50+ million per year, going to New Jersey is costing him something like $17 million dollars in additional taxes on his current contract...  He's leaving behind a boatload to get out of Houston.

Yeah, and probably Nets is his last stop to get that ring. Obviously, it was not meant to be for him in Houston, he have this chances with Chris Paul against GSW but they felt short and that was the closest he can get into the Finals.

So what better team to go than with the Nets with Durant-Kyrie, those individual records are nothing to him now. He needed that one thing that eluded him and that is a NBA ring, to be included in the next 50 greatest.

4274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Caleb Plant vs Caleb Truax IBF Super Middleweight Title on: January 14, 2021, 04:56:46 PM


I don't think that even Golovkin can match the version of Canelo that we are witnessing, he is at the prime, and settling at 168 lbs, while Golovkin best weight is 160 lbs. Of course he can go and chase Canelo at super middleweight, but I don't see him beating Alvarez.

Canelo is still hungrier and for sure, he wants to unite all the belt in this weight class if it is allow. But most of the time, those sanctions bodies and boxing politics are preventing this to happen.

Because of the governing bodies rules and the promoters greed we are having a hard time to see the best go against the best, these people and organizations don't want to collaborate to give us the best fight, we seldom see boxing unification bouts, each organization and promoters wants to protect and their boxers, because it's their cash cow and they don't want to lose it's drawing power in terms of sales.

I do agree, but sooner or later they will have to allow fighters that have the belts to unify the belt specially that Canelo is the new cash cow. So I wouldn't be surprise if Plant win this, there will be reunification between him and Canelo for the best in 168 lbs.

There are too much money to be made that these sanctioning bodies will benefit in the long run. They might delay it to create an audience, but it will eventually happen.

Thanks for the mentioned, yes, the real website could have been given them the idea to create such 'integration wallet' that I initially discovered. Much easier for them to trap crypto enthusiast as everything is set into one website.

But very dangerous if you haven't had the experience and not checking if the URL is correct or not.
4276  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Instant BTC & ETH withdraws | Live games & Slots!| on: January 13, 2021, 02:03:16 PM
@duelbits C'mon please enable send tip feature
or maybe release some altcoins like TRX and Doge as deposit/withdraw options (it's been a long time request). BTC and ETH are quite annoying :v
I am sure they already think to add the other coins for the members to deposit/withdraw so that members will have more gambling options. With bitcoin and ethereum price now, I think that will not make small gamblers like us prefer to use bitcoin and ethereum to gamble because we feel better to hold or sell the bitcoin and ethereum at a high price.

I do believe the main reason is not about the price, but about transaction fee which can be something expensive for casual regular gambler like me. Holding and selling coins at high price can be done with any coins but to avoid bigger amount for transaction fee can be done with altcoins only (not btc and eth).

Yeah, just like what we have witnessed in 2017, when bitcoin goes up so is the transaction fees. So average joe gamblers tend to stay away from it, and uses Ethereum or Doge or Litecoin or even XRP. But things are different now, even those mention altcoins such as Ethereum and Litecoin has fees increased as well in this bull run, while XRP are threaten by the regulatory policies of US SEC.

Not sure though what will be the best altcoin for us gamblers now. I have good experience with Doge in the past though, so my vote goes to it in case Duelbits decided to add altcoin option.
4277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: January 13, 2021, 01:24:30 PM
He will surely get reprimanded or at least a fine for violating the leagues Covid rules. And him missing in action is one sign that I would say he is guilty. And the NBA might implement stricter health protocols specially for this high caliber athletes. First it was James Harden and not Kyrie Irving, these guys needs discipline and not think that they are somewhat 'protected'.

According to the NBA rules, the penalty for skipping a game this season due to a breach of the COVID-19 protocols is 1/72th of his salary for each game. This figure is based on the 72-game season. As Irving's salary this season is $33.46 million, that would mean a substantial loss for him.

This is more than just money, it's about respect and responsibility as one of the leader of the team.

How can someone show him some love when he left his coach hanging and then his team mates? Specially that we all know Durant go to Brooklyn because of him and now he is MIA? I don't know, but with this attitude, I would say that their chances of getting into the finals are slimmer because of this as the whole organisation might be in disarray because of his actions.
4278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Whyte vs Povetkin II on Jan 30, 2021 on: January 13, 2021, 12:57:52 PM
If he wins then maybe he will have a shot at Wilder or even Pulev, who have been calling Whyte in social media and says that he want to shot that big mouth of Whyte for good.

Pulev, after seeing that Whyte vs Povekin 1, maybe thinks that Whyte is very beatable that is why he is taunting him to fight him. No offense to these fighters but i think Pulev, Whyte and even Povetkin is not in the league with Fury, Joshua and Wilder. So, maybe after this fight and if Whyte will win then Pulev is the possible next opponent for him as Joshua will be chasing Fury in the top.

Exactly, I would say they are the 2nd tier heavyweight, but they can beat each other and then face either of the top 3 right now. Or if he wins maybe Wilder will give him a chance and then the winner can take Fury vs Joshua winner.

But if he losses again, the Povetkin vs Pulev is also possible, so let's see how Whyte will deal with Povetkin this time. If he choose the way he fights in the first, then we might see the same result.

He is already has a big name in the division, he has one of the belt in the division.

And if we would remember, his name was in the discussion for a potential fight with Canelo, however, Callum got the call so Caleb was left to fight Truax.

And if he wins, he will be definitely get the sweepstakes on fighting Canelo next. They are both in the same division and sooner or later the two fighters will eventually have to fight for reunification.

I hope they do fought so Canelo can unite all the titles, he has better chance of doing this and become the pound for pound king for another year, his win against Callum is just so impressive that made me think, no one among his division can match his skill and power, only Golovkin comes close to match his skill and power, these two should do a trilogy.

I don't think that even Golovkin can match the version of Canelo that we are witnessing, he is at the prime, and settling at 168 lbs, while Golovkin best weight is 160 lbs. Of course he can go and chase Canelo at super middleweight, but I don't see him beating Alvarez.

Canelo is still hungrier and for sure, he wants to unite all the belt in this weight class if it is allow. But most of the time, those sanctions bodies and boxing politics are preventing this to happen.
