lol the so called captain got 1/8 3pts! KD should be the captain then, not Leape! Yannis is true captain. And KD is the best player in the world!

Don't you dare compare the King with KD, man! Durant is a good player that LeBron is the players that over all these years have proven that he is the best.
It is very out of the point to judge him from an all star game where the players don't give the maximum of their performance.

With Real Madrid losing earlier today, Sevilla was also on the receiving end today as they've lost 3 - 0 away to Villarreal who are now just one point from the relegation zone. The battle for the 4th position is now getting more interesting with just 5 points separating 4th placed Sevilla from 9th placed Real Betis.

One more league that has ended from mid-February. It is very disappointing to see big leagues with huge competition for the 3rd-4th position and not for the title.
This means that something is going wrong with the European football and big transfers and popular players are gathered to one team in every national league.

Once again the All-star game didn't excite me. The most entertaining is 3-points/ dunk and skills contests. The game is just a commercial trick to make some millions. Zero defense and you can't see any actual game and adventure between the best players in the world. The fact that made me excited was that I saw Stephen Curry's dunk. The best and the only highlight of the game.

Barca won only 1:0 it was confident win of Barca.
Really? If I were Valverde I'd be worried. Yet another game with a poor display of football, even Pique said in the post-match interview that the only good thing today was the win, meaning that even the players know that they need to step up their game. I thought Barcelona was going to have an easy time with Lyon in the Champions League, but looks to me like that won't be the case.

They played poorly that's for sure. However, in the European matches and especially when these are in the Champions League Knockouts, the players change attitude immediately. Barca will not have so many problems in the win-lose games against Lyon. Also, Lyon is not the team that it used to be. There not so many strong players in the club anymore.

Ergh! The slam dunk contest was not that really awesome. It was though because the veterans are being used to be dunked on.  Grin


For my point of view, it is the most entertaining and more fun to watch during the all-star game. I can wait to see it for the whole game and these dunks..man.. are amazing! In the past, there were more exciting dunks i think but there are many talents that can rise via this contest and get some lights on them that will help them rise in the future.

Price of bitcoin has shown a good forward trend after the long bearish market. This doesn't assure with the growth of bitcoin market, the ongoing bear trend is found to be the longest from bitcoin into existence. In the past when the price of bitcoin reached $1000, it fell low to $100 and the complete recovery took place after a long. This time how long this takes place is still unpredictable and a small price pumping has got ignited.

There is not a forward trend for the bitcoin price.
We are stable for a long period sing the bearish market had started. And we are still in the bearish trend if you consider that the price of $3500 was considered a bottom of the downfall by many investors.

This is very important because I myself have had a problem with my wallet experiencing hacking. and I now use paid wallets so that my assets are secured to get a sense of security

Just purchase a hardware wallet. I thought that it was dump to buy one as I thought that it will never give me more security or value than the other web wallets or software wallets.

It ended up that I was the dump of not buying for a long time. Now I have stored my cryptocurrencies in the ledger and I feel safe about them everytime I log in to it.

Italy has been in trouble for many years along with Portugal, Greece, and Spain. They are dragging down the EU and are in need of a bail out. The EU will not be able to bail everyone out so they will have to turn to something else like Bitcoin to help them

Italy has a big debt but it also contributes a lot to the GDP of the European Union making Euro a competitive currency.
Its economy can be stabilized without any help or bailout from other countries.

Opponents of the European Idea just spread FUD about the European Federation in order to break the Union.
4769  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin now the biggest bubble of all time? on: February 16, 2019, 12:22:45 PM
the value of bitcoin lasts around $ 3500 for quite a long time, is this a sign that it will end? it's still hard to say it all. The bull run can still occur, if indeed some efforts succeed in making investors re-believe they will invest again in Bitcoin.

This price is still high if you consider the starting price of one bitcoin.
Everyone calls bitcoin because they missed the chance of buying early and now they don't want to see other people getting rich.

Bitcoin is not a bubble. This ecosystem exists 10 years and it will last forever. The chain cannot be broken now.

What an interesting post. What interests me the most is the part about gambling benefitting the mind. I also like that it calms you down.
I guess if your gamblings is based on chance and not  require skills it won't benefit the mind very much

Gambling do have disadvantages and advantages it can really relief the mind but it can also affect emotions especially when you are losing. Thats why you should be prepared to lost money for the benefit of entainment..

I never understand why people call gambling a relax of mind game. There is a lot of anxiety and stress when you play gambling because we have put our money in a bet/game and we really do not know if we will win or loss. In case of win, we get a bit of happiness but if we lose this anxiety / stress can turn into depression.

Ιt depends on the gambler. Some of them are placed in the category where gambling is a relaxing time from stressful moments such as work etc. If you are dedicated that even if you win a bet or lose it, your money is lost either way you see it as a way of entertainment and you just sit back and enjoy your rolls.

Fa cup brings only some action and is more fun to watch in a way that you see stronger teams against low divisions team and you laugh when you see the team difference in the way they play football.

Premier League action will be back on 22 February next Friday with two games.

I prefer watching FA Cup matches because many players that are benched during the Premier League matches are able to play and show off their skills and abilities. Some of these players have become true talents and had amazing careers in big clubs. One of these examples was Lukaku who was playing only in FA cup games and such with Chelsea.
4772  Economy / Economics / Re: JPM Coin, the JP Morgan coin on: February 16, 2019, 12:07:36 PM
Bitcoin enemies today will become its greatest friends in the future. JPM coin is not totally decentralized but will create awareness  of cryptocurrencies to the mainstream.
I think the decision of JPM now is having a great impact on the cryptocurrency market, maybe we can expect it by now after a months Bitcoin price will increase and have progress to recover from depth. We just hope that some countries too were enlightened regarding cryptocurrency mass adoption and also banks and big companies.

Banks are going to try to decrease the price and the value that bitcoin can bring to society. I don't think that they strategically develop their own coin in order to bring more people to cryptocurrencies. They have their own goal before and this goal doesn't include bitcoin/ethereum or other established cryptocurrencies in their plan.

Opening real business is best solution for make your money and get much profit, but when you take for investing at bitcoin and you lost you will be miss your opportunity to get profit at your real business at the next time.
everyone wants to create a genuine business and wants to try to open a real business not just rely on cryptocurrency, but the most important problem is the difficulty in determining what to start for a new business.

Yeah, easy to say to open a business, but the problem is what business could it be. Also, there's a lot of fees you need to pay before you can start your business. It takes years to regain your capital. If you will ask me whether to invest in cryptos or in real business, I would suggest to invest in cryptos if you don't have enough funds as of the moment since you're a fresh graduate. But if you have a lot funds, then invest in a real business.

There are types of companies that do not require high capital expenditures.
The most common one is online businesses where the entrepreneurs do not have any storage and operation costs. There are many ways to open a business and still implement cryptocurrency payments on it.

Monaco's vice president Vadim Vasyliev is gonna leave the club
He was really the one in charge (even though Rybolovlev is the one bringing the money).
I don't know why but it doesn't look good for Monaco. I wouldn't be surprised if Rybolovlev left the club too after making a few millions (and a few contacts in Monaco).

Monaco had an amazing performance but after Mbappe left the team to seem weak again. Rybolovlev spends a lot of money to bring the club at the top but this seems impossible. I wouldn't be surprised if I see him leaving the club. He has spent too much money and he has got very little in return for his investment.

Its never been easy to predict about these soccer matches because any team can do any performance in any match MU is doing good in recent matches and they still have chance even Dortmund is also very lethal at home turf.

Manchester United got its chances in the first game.
They won't have any better performance in an away game against a team which is 10 times stronger than Man Utd. And I think that Di Maria is very motivated to disqualify Manchester United from the Champions League in order to prove that he is skilled and there other variables that didn't let him play well in the Devils.
4776  Economy / Economics / Re: Taxes and regulations on: February 15, 2019, 09:40:16 AM
If crypto is considered a property and taxed, I think this will be a tremendous pressure for crypto holders even though in the future crypto prices will improve, because crypto is an invisible asset, unlike gold.

I think indeed with the tax for bitcoin, indeed it will reduce the income that has been generated by people. because until now the bitcoin is in demand by many people, because it is not taxed.

By imposing taxes the cryptocurrency ecosystem will be more clear to people as it is right now too vague to understand especially merchandisers cannot implement crypto as a payment method easily because the regulation is unclear. I think that bitcoin is already taxable indirectly from the government. The difference that can be done is to be taxed upon a transaction which I think will be disastrous.
4777  Economy / Economics / Re: JPM Coin, the JP Morgan coin on: February 15, 2019, 09:11:33 AM
JP Morgan move is so smart and the announcement of it doesn't happen accidentally during this bearish market.
It was about time that Institutions will start admitting the benefits of blockchain and develop their own coin.

 I foresee that in the future they will start trying to make bitcoin obsolete in order to push people into adopting their own coin.
4778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the *easiest* profitable betting strategy? on: February 15, 2019, 09:05:54 AM
Gambling games are unpredictable, sports betting types are more influenced by luck. We must admit that in the world of gambling, nothing is certain. Everything in the gambling world is very difficult to predict. Never expect too much because basically gambling is a way to get pleasure. We will not benefit because the main thing is to get pleasure and it is not an advantage in the form of money.

Yes, it is difficult to predict. However, for example in sports betting, there are statistics with players performance, history etc which can give you some indicators on what you will play. You describe gambling like it is something random, but it isn't. Playing with the odds is what makes gambling addictive and people stop being prudent and lose money.
4779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 on: February 15, 2019, 09:02:50 AM
Although Barcelona did not get a victory in the match last night they remained firm at the top of the standings. If there is no miracle I think it is difficult for its competitors to be able to catch up with the points that Barcelona have right now.

You should not be so sure that Barcelona has already won the championship. The difference between the first and the second place is just 6 points, and believe me, it is very fragile. Barcelona is not unbeatable and this team may face some difficulties till the end of the season. I expect to see an impressing ending in La Liga in the next fixtures.

I was watching early minutes for match Arsenal vs BATE and when the match was beginning Arsenal almost made first goal and i thought it will be an easy match for them so i didin't continue to watch but after seeing the final results it seems yesterday was not Arsenal day but i'm sure on the second leg Arsenal can win at least 2 goals

They conceded the goal the moment when the first half was ending. Then Lacazette got a red card and the team paralyzed.
It was better to try and keep the 1-0 and not concede another goal than chase for the equalizer.
Arsenal will get its chances in the second round on Emirates where I think they will score over 2 goals.
