4901  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your opinions on IEOs on: August 27, 2019, 03:36:35 AM
IEOs are good if they come from Binance. Because there are a few exchanges launched this year to provide a market for the coins they believe in (or probably involved with).
If that would only be dominated by Binance, I think the improvement will not be fast like those times where ICO was still popular.
This IEO is good but should distributed in different exchange so it will grow faster, and that would only happen if people will begin to trust them, AFAIK, there are only few exchanges that are trusted when it comes to IEO investing now.
4902  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are investors still complaining? on: August 27, 2019, 03:02:39 AM
I haven’t seen anywhere that experienced investors are complaining. They know the market and they know how to play the game. Only noob investors or greedy people can invest in shit exchanges' IEO. There is no difference between a shit ICO project and Shit exchange's IEO.
Real investors are investing only reputed exchange which you mentioned already! 
They can complain all they want but they can't change the reality that they loss.
It's normal to loss again as no investors are perfect, therefore we need to learn how to manage the risk as that would help us succeed in the long run.
If they are aggressive in investing, they might loss because the market is bad last year and has not recovered this year yet, hence, patience is needed and if they also know how to diversify, that would help a bit to not feel the significant drop of their investment portfolio.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor's duel was one of the most awaited. There is potential for this to happen at the end of the year.

Reported by The Sun, Mayweather and McGregor reportedly brought together. However, both will not duel in the ring, but in a classic gameshow titled Superstar.  Grin Grin
I've looked for some reference for this possible rematch and you're right that there's a chance that this may happen again.

REMATCH? Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor: Pair reportedly close to agreeing bizarre gameshow appearance on New Year’s Eve

I'm sorry to say for fans of these 2 here, man, this isn't a good fight, another exhibition again and we already know the winner, these two are only up to make money, I won't be fooled again on this. Mayweather should train for Manny not for Conor, as his man's career are already slowly going down, he lost his fights lately while Manny is winning, I don't want to think that Mayweather is afraid of a healthy Pacman.

I am with you man - by now I am quite confident the USA are NOT going to win the WC this time! =)
I looked at the line odds on bookies to see if Team USA's odds increase when they lost that game against Australia but still it is 1.45 for them to win the title. People still believe on them to win though they are vulnerable and with that loss they may have waken a giant.

If you watch them play you will notice they are NOT a giant... Cheesy Well, we will see, they still are the favorites but betting on them just makes no sense.

Exactly, unless they clearly dominated their opponent and we can say that the odds is a gift.

There are better teams than NBA now that has a good odds, if you are a smart gambler, we would take that undervalued odds as that will give better profit to us. USA has been dominating for many years already that's why a typical sports gambler would always think they win though their roster now is no more extraordinary compared to their previous rosters.
4905  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Pundi X - Any store can buy, sell and accept Cryptocurrency on: August 26, 2019, 12:02:29 PM
Pundix is one of the best project that came out in 2017/2018 and I am still positive about this project. Going foward, how is the team going to deal with this eumongous supply of pundix token?


The announced multiple tokens swaps

So much so that even that last token burn help with token value.


In order to save Pundi X from going in to obscurity it needs to do much more than token burning.

13 months ago the Pundi X market capital was $363 million and today it is $100 million - something needs to change because the current price of the token NPXS is 0.00000004 BTC and that is an all time low and the current
$0.000429 is just above its previous all time low of $0.000415 set a few days ago.

There is so much potential in the project but something needs to change to maximise it

Maybe they aren't worried about the short term effect, you said the project has a potential so we are talking about the future of the project here.
Even if its value now is very cheap, this does not make this project look bad IMO, we can take this opportunity as this was once a billion dollar marketcap project and I believe we will be back in that position in time. If altcoins market recovers, PundiX will surely be one of the biggest gainers due to it's undervalued price now.

@ChipMixer

Why is there no statement about this "downtime"?

Unfortunately there has been no statement yet, if there is, we would see that in this thread first.
According to the previous post, it can be access using TOR browser but actually I'm not using such, so my question, is there any chance that https://chipmixer.com/ will be back again in the future?

Man, you need to consider it a long term journey, you cannot just come here and expect quick return, this is a high risk activity, so you should know that you could also loss any time. Bitcoin is a good investment, but it does not have a stable increase or uptrend movement only.

What you need to practice is to be patient, with that, life would be easier as you will be calm all the time.
That's most investors and traders are doing why they survive this long.

Remembered bout this project and came to see whats up on this ANN.
I was right about this shitcoin, after few months of motorizing their channel before their listing, it become clear that something is wrong.

Basically this was another scam, sadly. And Latoken is established that they are one of the shittiest exchanges out there, listing everything and anything.

I'm now convince that this is a shit coin, project that was able to raise a good amount during the ICO is not even listed in different exchanges.
They just give promises and honestly I am not actively monitoring the telegram channel anymore since they disallowed writing messages in the chat.
4909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Too late too buy BNB?? on: August 23, 2019, 02:28:30 PM
if someone wanted to, but did not manage to buy bnb coins at a price of about $ 27 apiece, today was a good chance ..
and it's not too late
A good coin has no limit in terms of growth, this coin has attracted a lot of investors that cause the price to rise because they delivered what is expected to them, and even beyond expectation.

Just look at this way, if ETH were able to reach over $1300 during the bull run, this means this coin has a potential to follow that path since it has a big support based, with the current price now which is 27 usd, x10 growth which brings the price to $270 is just a conservative prediction in short term, for me.
4910  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin currency stability on: August 23, 2019, 01:51:59 PM
Will Bitcoin succeed in maintaining its strength and stability as it is not under central authority?
I think we need bitcoin to be regulated if we want to see it continue to hold its strength and become a stable investment in the future.
Without central authority looking at bitcoin, it is only those people who have hold a big number of BTC will benefit, they will continue to make money by manipulating the market, and this risk will continue to be high. We like adoption, and we like investors to make it possible, but this will not happen without the government overseeing bitcoin and the entire crypto space.
4911  Other / Archival / Re: Is KYC benefit to crypto people or not on: August 23, 2019, 01:37:31 PM
it's just that, some people don't want to do the KYC because they don't want to spread their identities, moreover, there are a lot of FUDs about illegal data usage.

That's true, however, in the long run, these people who will not comply will the KYC will not be given a chance to invest, or if they will invest, they might fall as victim of scam projects as most projects that are legit will be required to register and impose KYC which is the basis requirement.
4912  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin volatility here to stay? on: August 23, 2019, 01:21:37 PM
I don't think that volatility is going to disappear, it's one of the main characteristics of Bitcoin. And I don't see how anyone or anything could influence on it to change it. From time to time, depending on situation in the market volatility isn't so visible but it's always there.
Bitcoin is not designed to be stable and I can't see what use would that bring even if it where.
The most possible thing we can do with the volatility is to reduce it, but it will say.
Its volatility would reduce if the adoption will increase because it will spread out the supply of BTC to different users.
At this early stage we are, there are only few who holds a big portion of the total supply and hence they can move that price which makes bitcoin highly volatile. I'm sure you are aware of the price manipulation here, so until that is still possible, that high volatility would remain.
4913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Biggest Austrian Telecommunication Provider Now Accepts Bitcoin Payments on: August 23, 2019, 11:46:38 AM
This will have another good effect for business in this county, when a big business accepts BTC, usually the small once will just follow.
Actually, this is what I like to see as this way adoption would easily increase.

Hopefully more and more great news like this will be announce, this is very helpful to bitcoin as investors will take this as another reason why bitcoin has a good potential. In our country, I'm hoping a good news like this but I can't complain now and will just let this big country to lead the adoption too.
4914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New investors are too impatience on: August 23, 2019, 10:34:34 AM
I really don't blame new investors so much for experience has taught some a bad lesson.
Just like the market situation where it changes from time to time, their experience does not mean to be the same outcome the next time they invest.
Their experience makes them wiser as they continue their journey, and most new investors has a high change of failing due to lack of experience which is the most important when it comes to investing in crypto as it's pretty different here, it is more risky compared to other investment and the market is so unpredictable.

Being impatient is one big hindrance to success, they have to be patient and be matured, investment if it will give short term return then better, but if not, investors should hold and wait.
4915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: August 23, 2019, 10:02:31 AM
@Reid. Kahwi is not on that level and he might not reach that level, I reckon. It is hard.

Lebron is on that level, however, he will never be viewed as the best similar to how Michael Jordan is viewed as the best. Hard hehehe.

It can't be avoided that there are some comparison, Leonard is good because he won the championship 2 times already and until now he is still an underrated player. Maybe because he wasn't recognize as a star when he enters in the NBA unlike Lebron James that he knew already that he can be like Kobe when he first entered in the NBA.

Leonard is still 28 years old and he will continue to develop himself, and though he doesn't have a fancy moves like Lebron and Kobe, but look at his stats, he is so consistent, he come up clutch in different important occasions and that's the quality of a real star.

Jordan won his first ring at age 28, so there's something that we can compare with. However, we know that Jordan won 6 rings so I don't think that he can be in the discussion for the GOAT at this time. If he continues to win with Clippers then maybe just maybe we can compare him with the likes of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant.

All of Lebron's NBA Finals win happened because he pair with another NBA star or stars ,but Leonard did not choose an NBA star teammates, he played his game with whoever his teammates are and as we saw with the way he played with the Raptors, he does not demand the ball all the time, he trust his teammates, in short, he made the Raptors the best team in the NBA which was previously swept by team Lebron in the playoffs when he was still with the Miami Heat.  

He didn't chose because he doesn't have the luxury, he was traded to after playing with Spurs and at that time he had the big 3, Duncan, Manu and Parker. However, since he has the bargaining power now chooses to move to a team with other star as well, Paul George. So that argument that he didn't choose star teammates is flawed. But I will give it to him for winning a ring in Toronto though. And that is why we can have a discussion about him being one of the best if he won another NBA ring with Clippers since that division is pretty stack up at this point.

During the time of the big 3, they are not anymore in the peak of their career, so I would not count that.
Lebron got wade and bosh in Miami, and Irving and Love in Cleveland, and they are all in their peak, so that's the big difference. PG's value for me is lower than Irving and Wave, so I don't consider George as one of the big star in the NBA, although he was nominated as the MVP last season.
4916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 on: August 23, 2019, 09:07:06 AM
Serbia is a solid team with many experienced players and I think it is the time to win this tournament.

It's their best chance now because although the team USA is the favorites to win, I don't see them as a super team unlike the Roster they have in the past.
I like betting on the underdog but this dog has a chance of pulling out a win, and when it comes to experience, I agree with you that they have the edge as most of the players of the USA team are young players.
4917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs. Donaire WBSS Bantamweight Final on: August 23, 2019, 08:49:49 AM
I think Donaire move in weight when he fought Walters there. You can see it was a total mismatch but Donaire fought his hearts out but it was not even. But then Loma TKO Walters in their fight in 6th round. Maybe you can also check it out.  Grin

I agree with it, I think that is the main reason, he was able to hit Walter with a good counter punch, that was suppose to be a knockdown if was in the weight that he was strong enough. Walters is not as fast as Donaire but because he was not able to bring his power when he moves up, that creates a big problem, he thought he could be like Manny the Pound for pound king, but that was a failed mission.

4919  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What If Nothing Change In 2019? on: August 22, 2019, 05:50:16 AM
to be honest, I did not expect too much in cryptocurrency on this 2019.  I believe crypto is a long-term investment, so even though this year is not the best year for cryptocurrencies, I believe it will arrive in the coming years.
I also believe in long term, in fact I have a lot of coins for long term, but this year, I really expect a big changes compared to last year.

Thus far, there hasn't been changes yet, and that is bad since we are going to end the 3rd quarter soon, I was thinking that since BTC has slowly recovered this year, at least we can also see some of the altcoins will start to rally, but it's not happening, there are only few who were able to rise, but not a significant numbers and it can't positively affect this big market of altcoins.
4920  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Libra the future anyone wants? on: August 22, 2019, 05:31:45 AM
Libra will be most centralized crypto asset. The main purpose of this asset is to track your buying activity and to use this info to sell it for their partners.
That's very negative, I think you don't like the project.
I know they had a bad reputation but whether we like it or not, the overall effect of Libra is positive and it could help the market to grow.
When it will be launch, it's gonna be part of the stable coins in the market and I'm pretty sure it will easily rise its daily trading volume since they have a lot of supporters, and imagine in the first year of operation, they'll be able to get at least 10% of the total potential users, that's huge already.
