4501  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are the real reasons of recent BTC rally? on: January 17, 2020, 10:24:29 AM
Halving is coming. That is the only reason.
Just like when Game of Thrones was hyped when they say "Winter is coming".  Grin

Investors are now eyeing for a great response on their co-investors. That just means a great hype is also around that will take demands to the higher levels.
There are fears of being a late buyer which might take a real toll to their funds. Yeah, that means expensive bitcoin.
As one of the buyers, I don't want that to happen to me.

I also love the atmosphere as long as it will remain a friendly debate. How funny to think that we suddenly became sports analysts because of that rookie.

Guys, I think Ja Morant is better than Zion. (Lol sorry for creating additional issue Grin, just kidding)

That ain't a problem. I think so too.
Ja is more like a whole package of a playmaker and a shooter. I can live with that if I am to create a team.
You will just need to fill up holes that Ja needs afterwards.

Freaking 27 point lead for the Clippers.
Glad I doubted myself. It was almost the last minute. I guess I save my damn ass there with some dollars.
Next game please.
4503  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Currency VS Forex on: January 17, 2020, 05:58:04 AM

The conclusion is the crypto market is cloned from forex market which is high profitable market because of its leverage although crypto is 1:1 but the spikes that happened in the past was the reason which made crypto gain the fame.
I think that the bubble already burst and we will never see those spikes again the market will be moving sideways till those 2000 coins become not more than 100 coins, after that we can see thing moving. The strong justification to my theory is... Most of big forex brokers in the market now are trading and accepting crypto.

Yet, we are still looking at spikes in bitcoin.  Grin
Don't tell $1k is not a spike? Even a hundred is a lot when it is gold which makes that happen. But there will be not much talk about it right?
With bitcoin, a little movement up and it goes wild in every news outlet about financial industry.  Grin

If it is altcoins though which you are talking about, then I might agree. It is a bloodbath out there. Not much of a movement up is happening.
4504  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: token supply on: January 17, 2020, 04:31:33 AM
Large supply to sell it cheaper.
It will look like it will be an easy profit later on for the buyers.
Having 1000 tokens with just $1 is a good looking thing to buy.
You could get millions in just thousands of dollars. Then, investors will suggest a burn of token to make the price higher leaving all their coins intact.
The burnt ones are those who are not bought. A good strategy but it doesn't work in a sudden or doesn't work at all.

I have seen one already and up until now the price is just the same.
4505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: January 17, 2020, 03:41:01 AM
+415 for the Orlando Magic against the Clippers.
Who took the bet? Having a difficult time to take it, the game will start any minute.  Grin

Call me crazy but I think the Magic can pull off another big upset tonight against LAC. I think they do cover the +11 but for some value I am taking them at the ML in a two team parlay with the Pels to cover the +5.

Can I call myself crazy too?  Grin
I really want to take this bet. There is just a large risk.
2 games winning streak and yesterday was against the Lakers. They might be tired.  Huh
4506  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people debate so much about BTC value? on: January 16, 2020, 05:36:41 PM
Then why the hell is bitcoin being converted to USD on such often times and why not USD be converted to bitcoin.
That is the case here.

We still have the traditional thinking that USD is the main basis of all currencies.
Even commodities.
1oz of gold = $1523
1 barrel of oil is equal to whatever USD.
It became the national conversion of everything into paper. It sounds odd but that is the case now.
With that, we could say it is still more valuable.
Do not confuse price with value my friend.
4507  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can bitcoin touch 9k USD next month? on: January 16, 2020, 04:45:27 PM
Yes, we might.

It is not that far ahead anymore. Just a little bit of hundred.  Grin
I think 9k will come next month and maybe another "k" in March.
To some, this may be slow but if you are comparing it to different commodities, it is one hell of a fast ascent.
4508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: January 16, 2020, 04:05:50 PM
Wow, I love seeing when you guys are heating up the talk about an upcoming young gun specially the number 1 draft pick.

Well, he is strong, no doubts about that.
I want to see the mentality though when he comes back.
Can he really take the pressure of so much expectation that is lurking around.
I bet he can read everything in Twitter and is giving him goosebumps.

This aint college basketball anymore. This is NBA which will also tell his future. He needs a lot of courage on his debut. Show it to everyone.  Grin
4509  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When trading, never ignore the statoshi value of your coins on: January 16, 2020, 03:23:00 PM
There are different styles now when USDT came.
Some do prefer making more USDT than bitcoin which is not so much like before.
In which, altcoins are the one being used to gain more bitcoin in the end.

Yes, every satoshi will count. I remember before when I do faucets on different website. Every piece of it will count for me and it stayed that way up until now.

Midseason Report Card Grades for Every NBA Team

Another NBA regular season is halfway gone, which can mean only one thing: a fresh batch of report cards for each and every team.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2871319-midseason-report-card-grades-for-every-nba-team#slide0

Thanks again mich for the great link.
I am not done reading it all since it is very long but thumbs up to the effort of Dan Favale who wrote this.

Here are some points that I am intrigued with.

One of the biggest come back if ever since the Indiana Pacers is already doing well now.
Quote
Victor Oladipo has yet to play this season. (That'll change on Jan. 29.) Malcolm Brogdon has missed 12 games. Jeremy Lamb has missed 11. Myles Turner has missed eight. Even Domantas Sabonis has dealt with a left knee issue

"Stat lines look like typos" LOL  Grin Yeah, they might really win 70+ games. Awesome!
Quote
Giannis Antetokounmpo is at the center of it all. He is the rightful MVP favorite, and his stat lines look like typos. He's helped the Bucks' spacing by jacking threes at a career-high clip. His efficiency isn't great (32.5 percent), but the volume is paramount. Defenses will be inclined to cover him if he doesn't hesitate, which he's not

"A" for the Lakers but "A+" for the Bucks. Yeah, that is perfect grading system.  Grin
4511  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My Trading/Gambling Journal on: January 15, 2020, 02:55:37 PM
It really looks like you went to gambling first before trading.  Grin

It is like having another self.
When you are in gambling you should do this and that and then rest.
Way different when it comes to strategies in trading. There you could still save something unlike with the gambling method.
I wont confuse the two if I were you.
4512  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Promote Bitcoin..... It is for "us" on: January 15, 2020, 02:18:04 PM
Tears fell out of my eyes.
Why cant we think the same thing as this people.
Use it! Even if we know that the price will go up someday and we just want to store it. We should still use it.

Merchants ain't coming in because of that. We want to just keep it for ourselves and then the volatility.
Why would a merchant go way beyond into selling things using bitcoin as an option if all the people who want it just to keep it.
I wont.

Yeah, I still remember that pizza story, somehow we need to bring it back. Spending without doubts.
4513  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Get Its First Price? on: January 15, 2020, 11:08:12 AM
I hope not.
I am not against those who want their ROI back after buying at ATH.
It is just that, it is also for securing bitcoin.

Jumping to higher number could mean a lot of questions from many financial services out there.
They will throw anything even if there is no facts to back it up. Just mere spreading bad news about bitcoin and it ain't good.
I think we have all seen that already.
The slow and steady state will still be the better one.
$12k should be enough. Just going back to where it had been last August.
4514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: January 15, 2020, 08:01:07 AM

Yeah, I think the rivalry started way back, many years ago and it started on the Olympics. CP3 was choosen over Rondo despite him winning a ring with Celtics.

Was able to dig an old video in 2009, like 11 years ago when their rivalry started.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pv3ql54TMo

Wow! That was still New Orleans Hornets right?
I didn't watch that game though.
Thanks again for the link. It was entertaining to dig things about these two.  Grin

So Mavericks also won against the Warriors with a large lead of 27 points.
Again with the Mavericks sharing the ball. + garbage time of course. 12 players have points.  Grin
Ohhh and 13 of them have rebound/s.
4515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: January 15, 2020, 05:21:25 AM

Already 15 now, (65-50) and it seems like this will continue since Cavaliers lose last night against the Lakers and though they don't travel but a back to back game is really tiring, especially that they lose in their previous game.

111-77 now with 10 minutes on the fourth.
It's devastating to see.
Already garbage time with a lot of time in the clock.

Well then, time for the 3rd stringers to showcase their abilities. But who else is watching at that time. I wont.
4516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Campaigns now trial and error method on: January 15, 2020, 03:44:09 AM
Hi All,

This is not about scam projects. This is about the projects which fail to raise enough funds due to what so ever reasons. When bounty hunters work for weeks and at the last moment project announces that they can no longer run it due to insufficient funds raised, its nothing but a waste of time and energy for us.
This is the risk you take once you join a bounty campaign. It had always been since the beginning.
But unlike before, they could really raise large funds because of the small competition.


In my opinion, should project teams have enough fundings before they look for investors? What is called MVP is very important for the users to check for before investing.
Yes, they do have enough funds. But that is just for the initiation of the project and the ICO.
Payment for the team and employees and other stuffs.
Bounties are not included with it. They will get it from the contribution.

That is how it is, swallow it if the campaign fails to reach even a small cap.
It will feel better that way.
4517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: January 14, 2020, 01:15:42 PM

But looks like LeBron is impatient to do things and want to secure the rings that's why they are looking for good addition for their squad, but seriously I don't want to see kuz trade to the other team since he is a valuable player that needed to keep if Lakers will boost him up for sure they will get the stronger kuz rather than getting an old guys who's starting up with their system.

Of course, that will be a bonus.
He is not satisfied yet.
Getting a championship for the Lakers will mean a lot.

But getting something that will blend with Lebron? Who?
He is the pointguard, he is the forward and also the center for some time.  Grin
Kuzma is already the perfect team mate for him. He just need to know it. There might be something else behind all of this.

Dallas vs GSW later.
Dallas -9.5 @2.07. A great deal for me. Bet what you can afford to lose.  Tongue
4518  Economy / Speculation / Re: Any further forecast? on: January 14, 2020, 10:05:26 AM
Yeah, it could be a bull trap.
But for whom? I believe it is just for FOMO's and then the weak hands.
Being a FOMO you buy while the price is increasing.
Being weak you sell when there is sudden stop at the pump which is happening.

When they are ll getting weak and they are losing funds, that is the time buyers will come for a cheaper price.
Sounds like an old trick already. Will it work? Let us see.
4519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: January 14, 2020, 09:01:41 AM
Exactly, that's the rumour that have been circulating and I really don't understand what's the reasoning. Anyway, nothing is permanent in NBA but the thing with Kuzma is that he has blended well with the Lebron lead Lakers and it will be a pity to see him go and traded to Bogdan Bogdanovic. They have keep him away for the AD trade so it doesn't make sense at least to let him at this point.

Let's just say Lebron changes his mind and he wants to trade this young fella.

You know that Lebron is so influential, he can talk to the management and get what he want and of course the management would agree if they want to keep Lebron. No player will improve as long as they play with Lebron, as long as the player is already good,... I can say that Warriors and Spurs are the best training ground for young players that wants to improve.

I know Lebron has that kind of influence in Cavs before but I do not know he is still doing the same in Lakers. It would be the demise of a team if they let one player control the future of their team. It is just a pity if they let go of homegrown talent. Kuzma has still much potential in him and all they need to do is bring it out of him.

I agree. I would not let go of that kid if I am the Lakers management. Even if Lebron do try to persuade them.
The kid is really good.
He does showcase it with some of the games. 36 points against OKC while Lebron and AD is out.

But if it does happen then I am sorry for the Lakers.
Lucky for the team who will take him and I bet they will racing to snatch this guy.
4520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 10 years ago Hal Finney called first... "Running bitcoin" on: January 14, 2020, 06:23:16 AM
I think it was the 10th anniversary of bitcointalk when I first read about Hal Finney and all his posts here.
Just want to know his background and it really made me tear when I read some of it. It's heartbreaking.

Although I didn't know about this.

So, thanks Hal.
May you rest in peace knowing bitcoin is in good hands now.
You will never be forgotten.
