4501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Micah - Sept 26 on: September 05, 2020, 11:13:39 AM
Experienced and skills Casimero is the runaway winner here, if we are going to based and compared on how they fight, I noticed Micah is very slow and move like an amateur, they are both championship caliber but Casimero is a notch higher here, but Casimero should not take this fight for granted we have seen so many upsets in the past because the favourite is thinking of other fights, like what happened to Whyte where he was knocked out because his mind is on the winner of Fury Wilder fight.   

It's because Micah is a former Olympian, but it doesn't mean he is slow though and I wouldn't call it amateur. He has move to being a pro, so there's a lot of of difference, obviously. And they are fighting in bantamweight, and usually in lower weights fighters are very fast so I don't know where you get the idea that Micah is 'very slow'.

Well we don't like that to happen here, we want Casimero win, and this is just a get busy fight for him so I don't see him (hopefully) not being upset. But we will see. We're already in September and just in a couple of weeks we will see this fight happens.

I noticed that so many scam programs like this are using name cheap domain registrar and web hosting to set up their program I think it's about time that Namecheap start restricting people from using their service to launch programs that are obviously meant to scam people, it's so easy to buy domain from Namecheap you can even buy a domain for $2 they also offer very cheap hosting, making them a perfect choice.

It's business sad to say, that's why what we can do is to report this kind of websites to Google and to Namecheap themselves so that it will be taken down right away. But then again scammers will register a new domain name, so it's going to be cyclical and a long battle for us crypto enthusiast.

Good catch by the OP, and I do hope that noobs are not going to fall for it because that is a too good to be true offer, so it doesn't really looks logical.
4503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Inoue vs. Moloney - October 31 on: September 04, 2020, 11:53:13 AM
This fight looks very exciting, but there's no available betting odds yet, not in my book yet, maybe other sportsbook have it, so please share guys. Any fight Inoue  is exciting because he will always go for the KO, with his high KO percentage, I think we will likely see another one to add in his record in this fight.

The fight is next month or at least 7 full weeks if I'm not mistaken, so there's no update for any sport bookies as of now.

He is the Monster and casual fans really knows that he has power in both hands that can knock out everyone. However, if the odds are not that attractive, personally, I will skip and wait for the awaited match between him and Casimero. That will be exciting to bet as there might not be a clear favourite.
4504  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What the heck is happening to bitcoin! on: September 04, 2020, 11:11:55 AM
These posts on bitcointalk and crypto twitter are proof that most of the people here are just in it for the money and are most likely over-leveraged.

*snip*

Not only that, what's worse is that they're only in it for the money(this itself I don't mind as people can also speculate with bitcoin in the long-term), and they're expecting to actually make money in the short term. Which as we know, betting short term on bitcoin is pretty much a gamble.

Or expect that the price will simply go on a parabolic rise, which is not gonna happen, specially given how bitcoin's market price is unstable.

Yes, twitter exploded when the price goes down, others say its doom, most panic (specially newbies, or those who enter thinking that they can make money is short term). If the OP is really a long term holder, meaning he has seen the ups and downs, there should be no concern at all, crypto market is slowly bouncing back now and in the next 3 days we should be in the green again.
4505  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is predictably a guarantee in an uncertain world on: September 04, 2020, 10:55:03 AM

 It is often said that Bitcoin is a hedge against uncertainty. And that's it.

As compare to gold? Bitcoin hasn't been tested as a good hedge against uncertainty though. Hedge mean that an asset that can't easily affected or influence by the market. And we know that bitcoin is very unstable and be definition can't be a 'true hedge'. As compare to let's say gold, it's been tested, specially in ww2.

And btw, bitcoin is predictable? it became a speculative asset and obviously, it is not predictable. Have you seen the crash in the last 24-48 hours? totally unexpected.
4506  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who is the boss? on: September 03, 2020, 10:15:44 PM
#2 Investors obviously, because they are the one who brings money on the table to the projects. Without them, the project will not start its ball rolling. And without investors, there will be no #1,3,4,5.

So when the project succeeds, the first one to get more money is #2. However, in cases that the project failed, then they are the person who are going to lose more. This is not just for crypto market, even if you look at other tech companies of today, like Facebook or Google, those early investors gets the perk.
4507  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin price are decreasing? on: September 03, 2020, 09:49:14 PM
I am thinking why Bitcoin price are going down? Is Bitcoin Bull run is finished? I want to buy Bitcoin, so is it the right time to buy Bitcoin or I will wait for a while.

I don't think that this bullrun is finished, technical indicators shows that this is a likely scenario, $10,400 or $12,400. Really hard to give you financial advise because it's hard to see where the market is going.  But if you are into bitcoin for longer term, then this could be a good buy. Just remember that you can buy in small portions and then observe how the market moves. If still goes down, then continue to accumulate as many as you can.

I don't consider this a dump though, perhaps miners are just taking profits, Bitcoin price may spark ‘war of miners’ — 1-day pool outflows hit $18M.
4508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Micah - Sept 26 on: September 03, 2020, 01:08:46 PM
Not really exciting to see, most of us are waiting for Casimero and Inoue bout.

Yeah, we thought that at least Casimero and Inoue will make it before the end of the year.

But anyway, you can't underestimate olympian boxer but not a champion. Fighting with this opponent is also a good fight for Casimero but not good as with Inoue, his performance does not really impress everyone.

He shouldn't underestimate his opponent because it has also a good boxing record. But we all know what Casimero is made for, he has so much experience under his belt that not even a former Olympian can win against him. Let's do hope that they hurdle their respective opponents and then promoters set them up in a much awaited unification fight next year.
4509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: YFI and YFII on: September 01, 2020, 07:42:43 PM
YFII is the China version of YFI, it seems China miss out on the recent DEFI boom and they are trying to build their own community. Both will surely survive remember how NEO was marketed as the China Ethereum. The thing here is that YFI has a very strong founder and it is helping the price to keep souring

Yes, I think China wanted to join the bandwagon, or at least some some Chinese wealthy personality because the whole Defi thing really took off and we have seen it even higher than bitcoin. And then could justify this, I mean we all know how they hate bitcoin and even putting it below their list of coins.

NEO was touted to be the next Ethereum since 2017, but we haven't seen that it didn't took off as expected. The supply of YFI is what makes it very attractive for more traders and it really bring the hype on altcoin market in the last couple of months now.
4510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Miami Dade to open Casinos and Restaurants for the third time. on: August 31, 2020, 11:31:59 PM
For those excited gamblers that want to get in as soon as it opens, they wouldn't care but to rush on it.

I'm under the impression that this will be the case, there will be a mad rush to go and play again. But this time though, they will be cautious and probably will wear protective mask.

We've seen many times how excited they are to get back in action and visit the casinos again after of months lockdown and no gambling at all. It's like they've missed to be back at home.

Gamblers will be gamblers, there will be that itch that everyone wanted to scratch, so this is another opportunity for them to get out and somewhat relieve themselves and play again after so many months of no action.
4511  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I want to learn. on: August 31, 2020, 11:09:05 PM
I would suggest that you really go around this forum and learn and don't look for mentors. There are tons of knowledge out here, you just have to dig around. We have a search function that you can utilise if you want to look for subjects that interest you, but if you have doubts then you can ask questions. One thing I learn through this forum is that there are people who are really wanting to help, but they don't want to spoon feed you. Best of luck in your journey here and welcome.
4512  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] - Coincrypt.ml on: August 31, 2020, 10:29:55 PM
Where did you get those leaked though? How much crypto do the accounts have for withdrawal?

(1) Obviously the trick here is that someone published these leaked accounts.
(2) Then some noobs think that they hit the jackpot and try to withdraw
(3) Then upon withdrawal, it will request for deposit

One of the oldest trick, but still noobs can fall for this.
4513  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbit shutdown by South Korea authorities on: August 31, 2020, 10:03:51 PM
What does this have to do with freezing actual account holders?

Perhaps they have to initially freeze the account holders money so that they can do a full investigation?

There is no control over the trading platforms, there is nothing to prevent them from faking trading volumes and thus attracting more clients. It happens on a lot of platforms and it happens in some banks even though there are a lot of regulatory restrictions.
If South Korean law provides for some regulations, then fines may be imposed on this platform.

True, but South Korea has been very strict, very comprehensive that it is hard to open an exchange because of its tougher cryptocurrency law. So it's a ballsy move from the owner to pull this move and think that they are not going to be caught and received a heavy fines, worst jail time for this.
4514  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: India Is Looking To Introduce A Law To Ban Bitcoin, Imprisonment Of Up To 5 Year on: August 31, 2020, 04:43:20 PM
why some threads says ban and some say legal https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230499.0
Let me give you the time line
In 2018- RBI banned bitcoin transactions from banking channels. Therefore even though bitcoin wasn't illegal exchanges can't open a bank account therefore were shut down. P2P was working
In 2019- government made a committee to know the shortcomings in cryptocurrency and therefore were considering to ban it (have not banned it are just considering to ban it)
In 2020- Supreme court of India lifted the ban of RBI and exchanges have reopened

Now once again there are speculations that it will be banned again. But it's Not yet banned it's just in consideration of being banned.
This is an informative summary what actually happened in India with this news. And it's good to hear someone who's living there can finally give a thought about this topic because it's confusing what is actually the status for this matter.

We only rely from the news if it's an actual ban but now that you have mentioned that it's still a speculation that a new ban will be imposed, those articles that I've read just after the lifting of the ban which tells about banning it were misleading.

Yes, it is just a speculation that a new ban might be forthcoming because it not just involves RBI or the IDC, but the parliament is also playing a big role. And we all know how this politicians are very influential that's why there are a wildly believed that maybe an imminent ban is coming to India.

But it might take some time because the parliament will pass a law to put a heavy regulations (5 year imprisonment) for everything that is related to bitcoin.

The concern in developed countries is not famine, but ultra-processed foods, and synthetic creations.

Take for example China, every food right now is processed and even synthetic because of the growing population and even their government try to control it, gonna be hurt to curb. Like this plastic rice:

If not the virus, then hunger might kill majority of the world's population.
4516  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM Alert] OmiseGO fake giveaway, they will steal your wallet's private key. on: August 31, 2020, 02:59:42 PM
.INFO Domain names are mostly used by scammers, and it's certain that they do something new every time, As we all know that there was a demand for payment in such giveaways, But right now these scammers want to steal the private key.

I guess they have saturated most of the well known domain names or domain name extensions that's why they move to .INFO or .XYZ.

And of course, you should not enter your private key on any such website, because of this your tokens and coins can be stolen.
However, I hope newbies will not fall into such a trap. Good catch mate.

In a perfect world, no crypto enthusiasts should fall for this trick, but there are a lot of naive newbies that doesn't check before entering their 24 seeds or private key.

Here is a possible fake OmiseGO twitter Airdrop handle:

High fees are bad for traders/investors in my opinion, it's just like you need to have a minimum balance just to be able to withdraw and get at least a decent profits.

However, I would also like to stress that high transaction fees are an indication of the bullishness of the market and liquidity, similar to what we have seen during the last all time high, specially on bitcoin. And if the fee is lower, everyone can spam the hell out of that network, causing it a slowdown. So there's a lot of pros and cons, its really up to us on how to weight everything on our favour.
4518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: August 30, 2020, 12:30:11 PM
-snip-
I thought that Raonic will going to pull some upset here are he outclassed Djokovic in the first set. And cementing his legacy as one of the greats in this modern era tying  Nadal's all-time-career ATP Masters 1000 record of 35 titles. But the big chase is still Roger Federer's record.
With this title champions Novak still unbeaten these years, nice records for His career this year.

Obviously, I he is unbeaten this 2020, only few tournaments. And this is just a gauge on how Djokovic will do in the US Open. And with Nadal and Federer not competing, I think he is really on this way to win the US Open again. I remember his interview way back in May, in which he says that he is looking to win more Slams and break the record for being the longest number 1, so his goal are pretty clear.

However, but him resigning as ATP player president and creating his own association of players and all because they want to have greater control of the revenues?, doesn't sit well as their agenda on the table.
4519  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: The impact blockchain could have on traditional gambling platforms on: August 30, 2020, 11:40:47 AM
It is clear that the use of audited and public smart contracts to handle gambling rewards and money games' mechanisms could bring more transparency and trust (gambler perspective).

I think the trust is based on casino's provably fair, but how many online gamblers are really looking at it?

On the other hand, for the gambling platforms, it is not as interesting to expose the profits generated on each games.

Yes, but you have to think the offline casino's need to report it because of tax purposes. If online casino's one day are regulated by government, for sure their books are going to be open in the public and we will know how much they profited.

It could also lead the industry into a competitive war, decreasing their net margins to attract more users.

Will probably happen progressively though, as it is what the market/users want.
Some gambling dApps on EOS and TRX are already getting some traction.

TradingBull.io

It's very competitive market, however, I don't think it's going to be saturated are there are gamblers born every minute so to speak. So the more the better, as least we have options.
4520  Economy / Speculation / Re: Something unexpected needs to happen? on: August 30, 2020, 11:05:37 AM
What I find surprising is that even if bitcoin is not gaining a lot of adoption
since there is no way to actually measure adoption you have no way of knowing how much adoption bitcoin is gaining.

Right, same thing as we don't know how many are traders/investors/bitcoin holders because all we can see in wallet addresses which can be duplicates.

It seems that investors are losing confidence in the way governments are managing the crisis, it seems investors no longer trust that printing huge amounts of money are going to be the cure for the economic problems we are facing, and they are right, as the next crisis is probably not only going to be precipitated by printing currency but it will also be the main reason of the crisis itself.

I wouldn't say people are losing confidence, but perhaps we are looking for other ways to mitigate the risk without waiting for the government's help. Printing money is another thing and in the long run it won't be the solution, and this bailouts can only go further and only big companies are going to benefit from it. And since we have crypto as somewhat an option for us to somewhat hedge our wealth against the looming crisis.
