4741  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Samsung Galaxy S20 Smart Phone will Support Bitcoin, Ethereum and TRON on: February 23, 2020, 03:01:16 PM
So I need to spend $1000 or more for this phone to store these three cryptocurrency. Who will want to do that, when there are so many free wallets available in the market to store more than three cryptocurrency.

A hardware wallet will be costing me less than this phone.
None would actually buy this phone only because they want to store those above mentioned 3 coins. There are a number of mobile wallets which allow us to store more than 10 coins in a single wallet and it would always be a lot easier to simply download those wallets onto our device and in this situation, why would we even go for that wallet which is built-in and limiting to 3 coins only?

We might lose our security by storing funds onto any such wallet as they might be easy to crack and we might lose each and every coin on that wallet. I am sure majority of people would only buy that phone due to the latest features and processor speed which would make the phone super fast. Most of the Samsung devices lack in their performance so I just hope that this new flagship device would not be like those.

When we talk about trading whether it’s Forex or Crypto, there are some very common reasons why people tend to struggle.

So that’s take a quick look at what those reasons could possibly be at https://www.qatarday.com/blog/information/4-reasons-why-youre-not-making-money-with-your-forex-trades/69233

Although, this is not going to turn you into a professional overnight, but strictly following these are ways you could begin the long journey to the destination you want to reach.
And sometimes it is best to take a break. I have seen a few people that will start trading and losing, and instead of them to quit and continue another day, they still keep trying and chasing the loss and in the process of doing that they keep losing more and more money which is very bad, and at the end of all that they still don’t achieve anything.

People really should know when to stop trading. If it’s not working out for you today, you should just leave trading for the day and relax your mind to continue another day. Lastly, I would like to say that the fourth reason that was stated in the article from the link you posted, which is Greed, it’s very important that we find a way to get rid of such. Greed is very bad and will lead you to costly mistakes.

This game for blazers was quite important to actually see how the others play and not if they could win or not. Pelicans are not really a great team of course so they could have still won the game however when your best player is out (and I wish CJ was out resting as well, would emphasize this better) you get to see who are the other players that you know that could help the team out, Lakers literally did that last year and kept Kuzma while sending all others, sure there were other things involved but they could have easily sent Kuzma as well.

Here blazers saw that they could rely on other players as well when Dame is not on his best day or he is guarded extra etc etc, we all knew CJ was good but seeing Melo still playing well really helped them and hopefully their playoff chase is not just over yet.
4744  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Binance beat Ethereum on: February 22, 2020, 05:04:51 PM
The difference between ethereum and binance chain is the simple fact that binance has the exchange to back it up, ethereum doesn't. Now ethereum is a bigger coin, been the second ranking coin for a long time with only a small stint at third place, which means it is still loved and cherished, I do hope that will continue for years to come because I see a lot of greatness in ethereum.

However, when you do a coin offering with ethereum, you still need to make sure your coin will eventually get listed somewhere, if you are a coin that got good funding then you can pay the exchanges to list you as well but still all depends on what you will do with the money. Whereas if you are a binance chain type of coin with IEO, that means you will be listed right away and will be able to buy/sell quickly. That is a huuuuge difference.

There is no "secret agenda" going on to stop china, there never was any to stop China, they are literally killing people for their organs and raping people and basically have a concentration camp that is worse conditions than what Nazis did to Jewish people and the whole world still uses China as its manufacturing place. If nobody cared about the insane number of human right violations going on China, they will not care about just a virus neither.

This was just a simple "fever fever" where people are afraid of the new versions of something that is not so different from the old version, remember the SARS and Ebola epidemics? They were literally the same type of reaction and nothing happened and world continues to go on, literally same thing happened and that's it, in few months nobody will even remember it.

I agree that the only thing a business focuses on shouldn't be just profits, shouldn't be just business, at least not when they are this big.

We are talking about a company with over 200 thousand workers, I understand that the small grocery store around the corner could think of their profits and I would understand it, the most they can do is to fire few help they have and that is about it, wouldn't change the economy too much, but we are talking about huge business that fire over 30 thousand people effecting maybe close to 100 thousand people around the world, that becomes bigger than just profits, that becomes bigger than just the business itself, it affects whole communities when they close down a store and fire everyone with it, that changes too much for a lot of people.
4747  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia's Cryptocurrency Law - Initiation on: February 21, 2020, 03:28:45 PM
I have always been worried about countries trying to create their tokens in future. Back then when I started using cryptocurrency, I was expecting there will be a time when the government will accept Bitcoin fully. Then there were not much altcoins apart from ETH, Litecoin and some other good coins.

I expected that the kind of adoption I’m looking forward to will start from China, and unfortunately they stopped and banned cryptocurrency. Then the next thing that happened was that they started creating their cryptocurrency and there are lots of altcoins in the market and lots of fake projects, it’s really annoying. Now other countries will start doing the same, creating their own cryptocurrency and maybe banning Bitcoin so that people will agree to buy and invest in their coin.
4748  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin will to the moon? Trust me!! invest now before you regret it. on: February 21, 2020, 12:24:28 PM
I’ve always loved Litecoin from the start and it has been my favouritecoin apart from Bitcoin. I can remember that when I was a newbie the two coins I had in my wallet then was only Bitcoin and Litecoin and they have been really good and profitable. Now I have other coins in my portfolio, but I never go without BTC and LTC.

I believe this for sure, Litecoin will moon, but I’m not sure how or when it’s going to be. Just like in 2017/18, it was unexpected, the price just took off and starting going up. And what I like about them is their good team ups, though I don’t really know about this Bibox, so I’m just going to do a bit research about them to know better.
4749  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: At the end of the year! on: February 21, 2020, 11:48:11 AM
Yeah you’re right, anyone that wants to be trading cryptocurrencies needs to learn how to analyse the price by themselves and not wait for experts to be doing the work for them. I know for sure that the predictions made most of these experts or influencers for 2018 and 2019 were wrong in every way. I can remember that John McAfee was predicting around $700,000 and not just only him, there were other influencers that did the same and some of them even made ridiculous price predictions like $2 million and $1 million.

But after everything, we reached the end of 2018 and 2019 and none of those were true. McAfee then came out to say that Bitcoin is the worst cryptocurrency because it didn’t go according to his predictions lol. I wonder how much he would have bought of BTC and stored in a wallet so he could make profit and at the end he’s pissed that his plans never worked out.
4750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: February 20, 2020, 06:38:39 PM
I do not want to be the bearer of bad news and if this is true then Manchester City management is even worse people than we imagined they could ever be. After getting 2 years punishment for what they have done, it is said (definitely putting the blame on journalists here) that they are planning on attacking Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich to get the same type of punishment as well for doing what they have done and they are saying it is the same exact thing so if they are punished then others should be as well or they should not be punished at all.

If those teams get punishment because City complained about it, I am pretty sure all of champions league will hate them for it as well. I hope this is not true and I hope this is just bad journalism making stuff up.
4751  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Random coin picks experiment on: February 20, 2020, 11:41:16 AM
Choosing a random coins to place your investment seems fun besides, it is true that as bull run comes most of the coins will also pump. However, it would be too much risk simply because if you will take a look even if it pumps the volume would still not enough to handle those sells. Therefore, it is still much better if we will place our investment in top ranked coins which could give a high probability of getting a huge profit.
We can think of huge profits only because of the nearly approaching bull runs but have you ever thought what would happen if the markets goes in opposite direction and instead of bull runs, we land up in bearish markets? This would be a major loss for OP then and OP might really need to wait for months or maybe even years to wait to sell those coins in profits. In this situation, OP can also buy some coins which move in opposite direction of some major coins. This might give him a security that at least those coins would experience a pump in a market situation where majority of the coins are experiencing dump.
4752  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is that real TRON has bought Steemit. on: February 18, 2020, 07:39:36 PM
Yes, steemit was a best blogging media and it would remain the same. Nothing much would change after integrating tron into steemit ecosystem. They have just opened doors for tron network and they have not actually sold their platform to tron. Steemit have it's own benefits which would be maximized by adding tron onto the network.

Steemit also have a strong team behind which would never make the demand for steemit lower down. They might also have some master plan behind signing up with tron. This might perhaps boost the traffic onto the platform and also we could see a price growth in the price for steemit. That is because a number of people have started going for steemit after reading this news.
4753  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin good for the economy? on: February 18, 2020, 06:51:44 PM
I believe there could be a space carved up for bitcoin, we could make the economy work with bitcoin helping close the gap as well.

Bitcoin is a technological improvement on what we already have right now, centralized currencies are giving only few people some power and we do not want that, nobody really wants that, however with bitcoin everyone has the power or at least we say it like that yet when you think about it if world powers get together they could completely destroy bitcoin as well.

If China and USA alone just decided to ruin bitcoin they have enough money and power to just spend billions of dollars into research and then attack bitcoin together in a coordinated way to destroy it, they may make some people very very rich along the way but at least they could destroy it. So, we have to learn to coexist or the future doesn't look bright.
4754  Economy / Economics / Re: Countries and their own cryptocurrency! on: February 18, 2020, 06:06:59 PM
National currencies are not a way to stop the crypto currencies, they already have their fiat currency anyway so this wouldn't stop it at all. Stablecoins that nations build would just be part of a process where you move from bitcoin to fiat and just makes the transition much more smooth and much more safer.

How do you do that right now? You have a bank account, you send that to some exchange that is centralized but basically has a trust of a rat, then you buy bitcoin, you god knows send and do whatever with that, then you withdraw it back to that exchange and hope that they will send fiat to your bank account right?

Well, instead you will pay your government for stablecoin, which will probably be instant and very easy and tied literally into your banks mobile app, then you can do whatever the hell you want with it. Bitcoin will still be bitcoin, decentralization is there, all you are removing with this is the centralized exchanges you do not trust.
4755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC possibly being developed by US intelligence: what it brings (op-ed) on: February 18, 2020, 05:08:53 PM
It is not a "secret" that they are doing secret things anymore. I mean we are talking about CIA here and their whole thing is doing secret stuff, so it is not a wonder that they did something about bitcoin as well, I would definitely expect them to do something like this.

They literally got an order to actually "stop bitcoin" once as well, they realized bitcoin is not something people can stop so they gave up on that, this shows that they realized they can't stop it so they got involved instead as well. Plus if the governments of the world created their own exchanges we wouldn't had this trouble of exchange hackings or exit scams or whatever because they would be backed by governments. I know we don't like regulations here but sometimes safety comes before freedom.
4756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: February 18, 2020, 02:39:42 PM
I would say Liverpool will win today, that is definitely looking like a game they should win, I know Athletico Madrid is not a bad team but at the same time we are talking about Liverpool here, they are literally ahead of everyone else 20+ points in premier league right now with absolutely no loss at all. PSG probably will win if nothing else happens that is out of expected I would give the game to PSG.

The real difficult one that I am not entirely sure about is Tottenham and Liepzig, Liepzig started the year amazingly but they ended up not doing so well, Tottenham on the other hand started horribly but now they are doing better, however if you take out the averages of the season Liepzig still looks like the better team right now. That is about all the wagerable games there is, Barcelona will probably win, Munich will probably win but they will probably get bad odds.

Honestly if someone could please explain to me better I would be very much in debted to you. Premier league usually sends teams to champions league and Europa cup and so now that Manchester city doesn't enter because they have been punished for it, that means another team will join right? So, for the premier league by this rank, it means 6th team will go as well? If that is the case that means Manchester United actually has a superb chance to actually go to Europe as well next season, surely they look under Sheffield right now but I am pretty sure they have enough talent to go above them by the end of the season.

This made a lot of peoples jobs easier, there was a lot of talks about Spurs or United and even maybe Chelsea having troubles but with City gone, that looks like guarantees it.

All star game at this method was a lot more entertaining than previous years. I do not recall the donation or charity parts of previous years, maybe that existed before as well I can't speak on behalf of that, however at the game there was everything we ever wanted, just 3-4 years ago all-star game started to become like just an exhibition match of Globethrotters or something, it was getting seriously boring, thankfully this year it became more of a fight and players actually played properly.

It was also a great gesture for the award to be named after Kobe as well, from now on that award will be remembered as Kobe forever, just like Bill Russel award as well. The jersey numbers and everything, I was just expecting them to do the 8 second violation and 24 second shot clock thing once more but maybe that would have been too much.
4759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't be a hypocrite and admit that you are a gambler on: February 17, 2020, 08:23:10 PM
Gambling is a verb is very different from gambling as an action. The things you talked about are gambling but they are not literally rolling a dice on a casino, that is why they are different. Plus on a normal day when you gamble about your life, you have no choice but to do that in order to move forward, we gambled on school answers because we had to give an answer, leaving it empty would only further your failure instead of maybe helping out, same with work, you have to gamble because you have to move forward, you can't live unemployed forever unless you are very lucky with money.

Everything in your life you gambled, you had to. On regular casinos you don't have to gamble, you can simply leave, plus casino literally tells you that you will lose on this gamble and you still do it.
4760  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XRP ready to make an Epic rally... on: February 17, 2020, 07:26:53 PM
The markets are looking a little bit slow these days I can't really say if any coin could make an "epic" rally, sure maybe it will go up a bit but I do not think it will be epic. Maybe like a 10%-20% increase which would be nice of course but that doesn't mean it would be epic, it would be very normal if that much would change. Everyone is expecting that elusive 1 dollar price but I doubt it will be 1 dollar any time soon, maybe closer to end of the year, not now.

However one thing is for sure, it doesn't look like its going to drop anytime soon, that is something quite important in investments since if its not dropping the worst thing that could happen for you would be not profiting instead of losing money and that is something I would love to accept.
