A very nice list of space travel movies. Apollo 13 is definitely my favourite. It's so crazy to compare today's SpaceX rockets to the old NASA rockets from the 60s. The advancements we made on the last 50 years is huge and makes the quest to reach Mars more realistic.

In the interview that was conducted with @Sonnenshein[1], Director @Grayscale[2], when asked about the price, the answer was:

If our inflows at Grayscale are any indication of the types of investors that are interested in this asset class or the sizes of allocations being made, we're just getting started,"

It looks like we will witness exciting ups and downs in the coming year and it could be a year of surprises just as it did in 2017.

What is your comment on this talk and do you think that they will continue to buy more?

I didn't see that interview before. Squawk Box is a great show to watch in the morning and always great to have some people on their to promot cryptos. I agree with him that it's hard to say how high bitcoins are going to rise in the near future, but the outlook is definitely positive.

4744  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Logical brain is biggest gift(biggest asset) and also a biggest mistake(biggest on: November 30, 2020, 10:59:40 AM
Perhaps we have to define "logical brain" and "logic" first before making such a claim.
Logic can be a broad term, not only about mathematics. And there are many aspects of someone's IQ.

I agree, geniuses in one area usually lack behind in other areas. Being blessed with a great mind is definitely a good thing, but creates a lot of other problems. I remember a very smart kid from my school. He managed to jump two classes during his school time and was much younger than the other kids. It was very hard to talk to other people, his social skills must be very lacking compared to his classmates.

If I don't get any sphere of educational process, I always prefer to take additional classes for myself, after the basic ones.

I agree with you, the basic courses usually just give a broad overview of a topic. Taking follow up courses with advanced subjects is good in my opinion. Being specialist in some areas can increase your worth on the job market.
4746  Economy / Economics / Re: Visa is getting more interested in Crypto on: November 30, 2020, 10:44:53 AM
The thing with technology advancements is that once one company starts everyone has to follow, even if you don't believe in it 100%. The risk of missing out on a big trend is just too big. In my opinion its a good thing because I am fully convinced of Bitcoin's. Building up an infrastructure to manage cryptocurrency is just logical. And once visa did it, mastercard has to follow.

Bounty hunters got cheated again, actually is this ever going to stop? Do you guys remember OLPORTAL? Bounty hunters are asked to drop ETH address to get tokens and they end up forcing bounty hunters to go and download OLCF wallet and import recovery seed to receive tokens, how did they cheat? Their shit OLCF wallet only accepts Recovery seed only, leaving out those with private keys, you can only import if you are using mycelium or others like it but for those using multi wallet like Coinomi we are out of luck, the team just ignore others like that.

I am sorry to hear you got scammed. Unfortunately there is no way around it, there will always be people who want to profit from the success of others without doing the work. And especially in the last few month there was a big rally in crypto prices. I would argue that the higher the prices also the higher the number of scammers is going to be. For example, I have been trading a lot in CSGO skins over the last 4 years. There is a huge market with so many scammers that it is unbelievable, and they never disappear. Because the skins can be worth thousands of dollars, there will always be people you try to scam you. Which is really sad.
4748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: France's gambling recovers on: November 30, 2020, 08:56:13 AM
According to the french national gambling authority. The gambling in france showed 49% more gambling activity in the third quarter with a recovery which supposedly gave 1.6 billion Euro as revenue.


This was actually due to :
-online Gambling related to sports events


This is not such a huge surprise, because we all experienced the same on the forum. I am a huge fan of gambling, and usually went 3-4 times per year to a casino near my home town. But now with the pandemic, I couldn't even go once this year. And due to the availablity of online casinos lately, with more and more promotions being offered it's hard to gamble a lot more from home these days.

What is the biggest issue facing you as a beginner in crypto ?

In my opinion the biggest issue for beginners in the crypto world is being overwhelmed by huge number of different coins available. When I first started out with cryptos I just focused on bitcoins. Any newcomer I would make the same advice. Look for one or two coins you heard something about before (this is likely going to be BTC or ETH) and just focus on them. It's easier to learn a lot about one coin in particular than looking at a different coin every day, also the risk of getting scammed is much lower like this.

In my country we are in lockdown since November, and it's likely going to continue until February or March next year. But Christmas and New Year are not cancelled for us. There will be a 2 week break from the lockdown just to celebrate christmas. I am really glad that christmas is not cancelled, because it's the most important holiday in the year.
4751  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: November 30, 2020, 08:31:13 AM
I have heard a lot of opinions ... many are pro vaccine but also many are against it ...
And some don't even believe there is a real vaccine ... What about you ?

I am not against the vaccine, because the corona pandemic is changing our lifes so extremely, I would be very happy if we could end this virus in 2021. So far I didn't really read a lot of news regarding the side effects of the vaccine. I hope they are not bad, but it's going to take a while until I get the vaccine anyways. I am assuming that older people, medical staff and high risk patience will get vaccinated first.
4752  Economy / Economics / Re: 2021 not Looking good on: November 30, 2020, 08:20:51 AM
2021 not Looking good!

Only things what could be good are Bitcoin and cryptocurrency
Other things dont look good!

The economy will go lowest i Think.

Becouse there is still some countries who operating quite normal like sweden, finland but 2021 I think they have to face reality

And I dont see that Central Banks will just recklessly print money anymore just to pump Up economy I think this time they will say no more free money we dont kill the currencies with inflation

I dont belive that money printing dream anymore
And I think the Central bankers are same realistic as I am.


I don't agree with your bad outlook for 2021. In my opinion everything for the next year depends on how good we can manage the corona pandemic. Once we can contain the pandemic everything will recover. We are having multiple companies already mass producing a vaccine for next year. Now it's all about getting the people vaccinated and back to a normal life. It can't get much worse than this year and the many lock downs.

4754  Other / Off-topic / Re: Importance of water on: November 30, 2020, 07:51:50 AM
About 90% of heart attacks occur early in the morning & it can be reduced if one takes a glass or two of water before going to bed at night.

We know water is important but never know about the special times one has to drink it.. !!

Did you  Huh

Drinking water at the right time maximizes its effectiveness on the human body;

1. 1 Glass of water after waking up - helps to activate internal organs..

2. 1 Glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion..

3. 1 Glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower your blood pressure.

4. 1 Glass of water before going to  bed -  avoids stroke  or heart attack .

You can check details on google.

The human body is made mainly out of water, so drinking a lot of water makes sense. I would recommend drinking at least 2 L of water per day. The only problem I have when drinking a lot before going to bed, I wake up at night and have to go to the toilet. For me its better to drink in the morning.
4755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker Probability on: November 29, 2020, 10:55:33 AM
I'd disagree with this. Whilst we can calculate the static odds of a certain hand, it is extremely difficult to calculate on-the-fly, in the middle of a game, what your chances are of getting a certain hand - and of other players getting certain hands. The people-reading is certainly a key part of being a successful player, but the ability to even approximate the odds in the middle of a game is a vital vital skill. I think I'm an okay poker player, not bad but not great, and I do try to estimate very rough odds whilst games are in progress - it is an extremely difficult challenge.
Erm, flying on the fly isn't what I meant by straightforward, that's 2 different things imo. That's a "skill" in of itself, but the math behind it is plainly straightforward with no particular issues for errors. A result doesn't change randomly, it changes depending on the move made by you and the player against you, as well as the cards on the table. With those factors the only ones affecting the end result, it's a pretty straightforward calculation. Knowing said calculation does not guarantee a win though, since in the first place, the basis of the calculations is probabilities, and there isn't any 100% guarantee anywhere imo.

Also once you start to play more regularly you should be playing based on a certain range of cards. Probability of winning is one thing, but if you only bet the top 10 cards, and fold/call the rest, you become very easy to be outplayed. For example, if you play J10 the same way you play your K10 or A10 then it becomes much harder for your opponents to put you on a specific hand. A lot of people take notes when playing online, there is wide variety of player colors you can assign to people. Which makes it easier to call or fold in some instances.
4756  Economy / Economics / Re: The pandemic did push the world towards a more digital age. on: November 29, 2020, 08:39:33 AM
Yes, it is. Somehow we are taking on our way there but this pandemic did pushed us to be totally digitalized despite the fact that we are not yet so ready, but we did actually. For its the only thing that we can do now as part of our survival and we should be thankful that we have the internet and the high technology, we can still be productive, earn and most importantly, we will be able to communicate to our loved ones anywhere in the globe. So, thanks to this smart technology, for bringing us at least good amidst of this pandemic. 

I agree, the only good thing that happened due to the corona pandemic is that our work environment changed drastacially. Many jobs where it seemed impossible to do home office, now have an open policy to wards it. Communication is key here, with everybody being able to afford a cheap headset/webcam there is no limitation towards virtual meetings.
4757  Economy / Economics / Re: Still confused why bitcoin is so bullish? on: November 28, 2020, 02:06:10 PM
During a pandemic, of course the economy in the real world will be more pronounced.  Because the economic scope such as the trade industry and other industries, there are those that regulate or manage it in their respective countries.  if the expert in managing the economy might not have a big impact.  Another thing is that a country whose way of regulating its economy is not right, of course, will collapse, in contrast to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency where Bitcoin is a global one that cannot be controlled by either party.  except maybe FUD. But at least we need to be grateful, because through bitcoin trading we can still survive and can help each other.

The bitcoin price became a bit more volatile in the last week, which made me a bit more cautious. The long term trend is still upwards in my opinion but the chances of a short term correction is definitely there. To protect myself from too much volatility I stopped with trading bitcoins for a while now. I am afraid to sell in an rising market or buy into a selling market. It's best to just hold the coins for now and sit out the ride. Also the trading fees became a bit more expensive in the last month.
4758  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Expectations on: November 28, 2020, 02:01:12 PM


So my question is, what are your expectations towards the youth in this era especially to those who are in college/university?

I want you all to state if you're a student, adult, or a parent if you're gonna reply on this thread regarding your stand.


I am an adult and finished my studies 3 years ago. It already like forever being a student, the life was so much easier. If I compare my student time with the current pandemic I feel very bad for the students these days. Life was so happy back in the days, we could go out every day of the week, there were cheap student bars everywhere. And now the life has become so boring. We are likely in lockdown until March next year. So it's more than a year this pandemic madness.
4759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots 101: Basics, Strategies, and Discussion (with poll) on: November 28, 2020, 01:50:49 PM
Damn, today was the first time I won real money in slots. I have be been gambling with slots for a while now, usually just with a free bets or with 10 - 20 cents bets. There are so many different slot machines out there that it is really hard to find the right one. Today I started with only $1 and managed to get 3 times 10 free spins. I finished my session close to $30 which was the highest win for me ever with slots. Not really sure if I am in the positive now over the hole year but definitely my biggest winnings ever so far. Next step is to double it with playing dice.

Dog meat festival is a part of china's culture ( if im not mistaken ). People from outside china view it as something that is wrong and immoral, considering that dogs are living beings that are meant to be cared and loved. Dogs dont deserve to be treated this way that's why this festival is criticized by animal welfare and animal rights, though i dont see people complaining about pigs and cows being slaughtered and eaten.

This is just sickening, how can people eat such a meat and make a festival about it? But then again China doesn't really care what the rest of the world thinks and just do their own stuff. If such a festival would be held in my country I am pretty sure there would come a lot of people and tell you otherwise. There would be no guarantee on the security of particanpts. I understand that there are cultural differences between different countries, but dogs are such good hearted beings. If trained well they would do anything for their owners. Dog meat should be banned anywhere.
