Bitcoin is decentralized and it can never be ceased.
However, government can apply strong negative force on it and ban it indirectly. They can regulate mining or other activities that are vital for Bitcoin and paralyzed the network easily.
The power that they have over the bitcoin is that they can regulate it but they can never ban it or even be able to control it because of its locked system. When we even talk of regulating it, they can only regulate it by manipulating it the way that china is doing so that people can get discouraged about it, and still at that, people can get discourage about using it as digital asset but can never get discouraged about using it as means of payment.

This is still the easiest means of making payment across the bother that I have ever seen and this is also one of the benefit that some countries that have adopted it have seen that is making them give full support and even if countries like china ban mining, there will still be some countries that will be opened to accepting.

Finals will be the hardest for Lakers, even harder than actually beating whoever comes from finals. Celtics are once again very good because they got rid of Kyrie Irving who was creating problems and got Kemba instead who is amazingly happy to be in a good team but no matter who comes from East I feel like unless there are injuries like last year the team that comes from west will win it all.

Clippers is still awesome but they are not playing "awesome" so far or at least not as well as they could, we haven't seen a 100% healthy clippers all year. Lakers versus Clippers with no injuries on both sides for 7 games in a row would be the most fun series we had in years. Hopefully, both teams could handle the load management and get their teams healthy into playoffs.

Congratz on the gamblers who won something from the race rewards, I hope you guys made some of the money back thanks to rewards or already ended up winning something in the first place from gambling. It is not easy to be in the top 10 and takes a lot of money and courage to be there so whoever ended up there, you guys manage to win something that many people wouldn't even have the courage to try to win let alone actually win.

For the sportsbook, it is disingenuous to say "we still have 12 days to go" because when you say November release nobody really expects November 30th, everyone expects either early on or at least on second week, even third week is a bit stretch but that is fine, nobody assumes it will be on the last week, if it is on the last week they should have put a disclaimer on "when" in November.

Do you think he accepts btc as payment? ROFL
Doctor should better not watch the value of bitcoin sometimes when it does bearish so that he will not put the cutter where he is not supposed to put it out of panic lol. Bitcoin is really gaining so much attention now, that even in my country, you could see children now talking of bitcoin now, while the funny thing is that some churches that are very dogmatic about their own religion are beginning to even see it as a sign of the Antichrist and they think that it is the one single currency that Is being spoken of in the bible.

That is not even my own concern now, the major point that I am trying to drive at is that very soon, we will start seeing the logo of bitcoin on our TV stations and even on every one of the news that we read on our newspaper too, it is getting to that stage already in my country.

Right, Now I'm seeing the 24 hours Graph of Coinmarketcap the Two potential Coin Verge/XVG & Vechain/VET Increase approx 24%. Any Good news for Both?
Well, I think that the good news is that altcoin season is gradually approaching because if you look at the market condition, you will see that some old coins are beginning to rise up in value which some of them are the coin I never imagine would rise again, so this is a very big sign for us that the altcoin season is fast approaching and we should start getting prepared for it.

These two coins that have started surging in value are one of the coins that I consider to be great coins that will give us up to 10x when the bull run for altcoins starts, especially this verge coin, because they have a real working project and they have a very good platform that ill attract new people, since new people will definitely out of fomo come to the market when the altcoins season starts.

The only luck that ICO still has left are bounty hunters, and they are still joking with them, because if not for hunters who are still promoting these projects believe me that no one would have still paid any interest at all to ICO which will make even the genuine projects to suffer also, but we still have some hunters that have not given up on ICO, and they are still advertising them which In the process of making the advertisement, lots of people that have not known about ICO challenges yet will rush into buying the tokens, which is why many people ask that amidst all these cryptocurrency tension, there are still many people that are investing in cryptocurrency every day and getting dupe.

Luck may run out on ICO if hunters too refuse to advertise them again.
I totally understand what you have written here, but still don't forget that we have many people that are not aware of cryptocurrency yet and until, they have made some investment before they start knowing or hearing about some of these scam projects. The percentage of cryptocurrency adopters is still very low compared to what it should be, and projects like Facebook and the rest are beginning to create awareness for cryptocurrency because of their intention to join the cryptocurrency sphere.

My old folks whom I have never for once told about cryptocurrency recently once approached mw that they are hearing that Facebook want to launch a coin that they would like to invest in, it was then I started explaining things to them about the whole cryptocurrency and even at that, they were still willing to take some risks.
4927  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Whales Are Selling BTC Before Market Crash: Peter Schiff on: November 17, 2019, 02:17:16 PM
Every investor counts and holds its own role. The impact of those who buy or sell big amounts is indeed greater than those who play in points but still if a lot of small investors will sell out, it is going to leave same impression on market value of the coin as that done by a big whale. Moreover, it is not only whales or investors that are only factor. The market depends on government movements too

There is even a theory that there are no whales (only big holders who are not trading)

And thus there are no market manipulations either, so all price movements are only caused by changes in aggregate demand as well as supply. Personally, I'm not very much sold on this theory, but that's not my point here. The main problem with the current market is that even relatively small investors and traders can move the market on their own (i.e. not collectively). In this way, they are the new whales, with truly big whales hiding deep under the surface
Anyone that has large amount of money to move in and out of the market at the shortest possible time is to me termed as a whale whether they are individual or group of people, so whales actually do exist and they started too when the wall street entered the market, it was from there that the manipulation of this bitcoin started.

Also, it is not every time like you said we see all forms of dip and rise of bitcoin as manipulation, some are definitely caused by the activities of people which sometime depend on the way they place demand and supply for these coins. Sometimes, many of these people claiming that whale will be crashing the market is just because they are also looking for the best spot to buy at a very cheaper rate so they can only join the market manipulation by buying the coin at a very cheap rate after creating panic for some investors.
4928  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflating Crypto and Inflating Fiat on: November 17, 2019, 01:30:57 PM
Fiat currency have big chance to inflation than using bitcoin as currency payment, many people keep use cash money or fiat currency because only available payment right now, when they are trying with bitcoin and altcoin they will really know how bitcoin as currency payment can increase their money assets without have inflation.
Everyone is beginning to understand that fiat has been the real problem of inflation and not only inflation alone, the main payment system that has really made a lot of people not to have control and freedom over their own money, but as time passes by, they will learn to also start understand why they should use bitcoin, and how bitcoin can solve the inflation problem, both the government and individual users and even financial institutions.

For the asset aspect, I think that people understand this more than you can imagine and that is why you see those that already knows about bitcoin begin to hold bitcoin in their wallet with the believe that it could increase their holding, which I think that there is no balance yet between holding it as asset and using it as payment.
4929  Economy / Economics / Re: How many bitcoiners on here have actually used bitcoin/crypto for commerce? on: November 16, 2019, 05:03:03 PM
most if us have not used crypto for shopping and I am finding it difficult to find a reliable site to purchase goods as most of the sites which accepts crypto are either shady or Grey sites. But there are some e-commerce projects based on crypto which will give a push to crypto usage in terms of shopping.
Before we even come down to the issue of having a reliable site that are accepting cryptocurrency or bitcoin, I don’t think that I have even seen up to 10 companies that are accepting bitcoin out of the millions of companies that we have.

I understand that adoption rate is still very low, but even with the low rate of adoption, there are so many companies that are holding cryptocurrency here today for the purpose of bull run, and I think that it is high time that many people start introducing bitcoin into their own platform for payment and not just buying bitcoin alone and expecting that it will rise without adoption. What will create adoption more is when there are places where we can spend our cryptocurrency. It is only in the gambling section that I can say that they are trying.

This sounds like a really bad strategy to me,,, especially if you play a lot you know that the previous bet or bets has no effect on your next bet.

So in your strategy, it says if I lose at 99%, then my next bet means I can win at 10% chance? It will set you up for big losses very fast.

JP gambling is a strat too actually,,, and a lot of people try it;)
Usually I do not care what type of strategy you find, in the end there is a house edge and that equals to you losing all your money. You can gamble anyway you want, it is not going to work. The only good part of this website that doesn't really require any sort of strategy is the jackpot.

If you win the jackpot that means there is nothing else you need to do and I am very glad for it because you can just gamble with the basic minimum and do your casual martingale or whatever and in the end even if you lose too many times in a row you could actually get your money back from the jackpot, yes it is just luck and you may never get it but it drops the house edge to a lot lower when you are always gambling. I am sure someone will even make a bot for this website to chase the jackpots one day.
4931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: November 16, 2019, 02:22:43 PM
That's one of the most craziest thing that I've heard about gambling addiction. I meant it can be so dangerous to even let people kill themselves. Hopefully, I'm not addicted to gambling, I mean a few months ago I was gambling regularly, but I was at the point to get addicted to be honest, but I just controlled myself because it could be even worse later. Addicted people should start to stay away from gambling slowly and trying to quit this field as soon as possible. It's not even a good field to earn money, because it's all about luck.
I have seen worse scenario. Addicted gamblers in my opinion should be seen as mentally unstable patients and their actions can be frightening. Sometime back I heard the story of a man that killed himself, wife and kids because he lost a game and felt terrible,didn’t know how to stand the shame and loss and the best he felt he could do was to eradicate his total family, it’s that Bad.

If there is anything we can do to safe ourselves from becoming victims is for us to be careful on how much time we spend on gambling since by research any gambler has a tendency of falling into addiction as long as they spend a lot of time gambling. This is the reason I try to pick the days I play games. I have successfully trained myself that I do not visit a casino house more than 2 times in a week. Those suffering from addiction today never envisaged they would become that. Being careful is absolutely very important.

Carmelo Anthony is finally picked up by a team! Portland Blazers actually picked up Carmelo Anthony for a non-guaranteed minimum and it is awesome that we will get to see Carmelo on the floor once again.

I know he could be literally cut down from the roster if he doesn't play well enough to stay in the team and Portland doesn't need him around if he is not going to work so dude may end up with a cut short run once again but if he could just work hard and get into a rhyme dude could actually help Portland turn things around. This dude scored 28 just 3 games before he was cut, he is still a great player and a top 20 scorer in history of NBA, why would anyone want to kick him out is beyond my understanding but also why wouldn't he get picked up right away is even more silly. Lets see how he ends his career this time.
4933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Counted Or Estimate All Your Losses And.... on: November 15, 2019, 08:33:11 PM
Some people are losing $100 daily or $200 a week or $500 a week how about you
Have you counted or estimate all your losses and thought what all your losses could you buy, do you sometimes stop and think on all of this.
I'm not a big gambler but I estimate I could already buy a good class mountain bike with all my losses, how about you?
I am neither a gamblers so I don’t do some of these heavy gambling that requires me to go into waging high amount of money, I respect myself a lot, and I know that it will create issue between me, my wife and my children if I do so because right from onset, my wife never likes gambling and even when the children are playing some games that I buy from them, and if it has gambling in it, she will switch it off immediately, so the gambling I would say that I do is just some of these few sport betting.

Also, when I bet, I bet with very little money that I know would never kill me when I put it into sport betting which is even once in a while that I do that and not all the times, and since I started sport betting, I think that the highest amount I have lost is $170.
4934  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why Newbie Traders Lose money? | Risk Management Basics on: November 15, 2019, 07:06:27 PM
This is really a very big secret that you have exposed to people and I must commend you for being a selfless person because we have so many traders that would not want the newbies to know this and they enjoy when they see them make some mistake or want a situation where they would want them to consult them to trade on their behalf so they can get some money from them, some rather than showing them the secret would even tell them to come and pay for a signal that will eventually not work at the end of the trade.

But, I strongly believe that if there is any newbie that will pay attention to this strategies and advises of yours, the sky would be their limit and even me that feel I am good at trading, I have been able to pick one or two things from these points that you have here which I will apply also form now.
4935  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 mistakes every crypto trader should avoid on: November 15, 2019, 06:22:06 PM
Previously, for the information you provided is very useful for beginners and crypto traders in general, I think many who have talked about the mistakes made by crypto certainly do not forget that there are many beginners who do not analyze and want to learn before they trade in crypto. everyone is different way of thinking and different ways they trade to make money from crypto without thinking that they will get a loss. Because a professional trader is good at finding opportunities and space to move to increase profits
I think that today has been all dedicated to educating the newbies because I have read several posts today all being directed to what the newbies are doing that is causing them mistakes and losses in their trade which of the post is this one. The issue I found with most new traders is that they want to quickly eat from the cake forgetting that this kind of cake would require them to learn how-to bake it first and make it done before they can eat it.

Traders needs to have a sound and very string education background about trading before they think of taking upon themselves the risks that is associated to trading. There is a need for them to actually do lots of analyses in trading, of which they would not be able to do so without looking out there for someone or something that will make them have the pure understanding.
4936  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Bitfinex a good exchange for trading? [Exchange review] on: November 15, 2019, 05:36:28 PM
I highly recommend bitfinex exchanges for crypto trading, because one of the exchanges has real volume. I used to trade on bitfinex
often because the display is very good and the features are very easy to use. But lately this is more convenient trading in binance,
does not mean bitfinex is bad. But this is just a matter of taste, if there are traders who have never traded on bitfinex I suggest to try it.
Because it will definitely feel something different compared other trading exchanges.
Sure, bitfiniex has not really done anything that will make us to doubt them except this their issue of tether than I am not very much comfortable with which I think they are using it to manipulate the market but I cannot really judge them based on what I am not so sure of, so they still remain one of the greatest exchange till they are proven otherwise, but I will prefer to stick with binance.

Aside from the issue of hacking that happened to them the last time which they too never expected anything of such. In term of great platform and a smooth-running operation, they remain the best and they also have one of the best tokens that anyone can invest in the market for now. There are still other great exchanges like kucoin, okex and many more that tends to want to compete with bitfiniex.

England last night will make a lot of supporters happy. Liverpool, Manchester United, Spurs and even Chelsea all managed to score, and assists were coming all around from Leicester City.
I remember only the 2005 times of the Liverpool team and the others are waaaaaay too old for me but I can tell you this is much better compared to 2005 times. Sure they were good back in those days as well but there was a lot of great teams back in the day, there was Galacticos back in 2005 and they were literally grabbing all the cups.

Liverpool was not bad in premier league but they won the league in 89-90 season for the last time, never won during that 2005 period neither. So, long story short we are talking about a team that might win the league this year and had the champions league last year so they will literally be in the books by a big margin compared to any other period. I don't know how long Liverpool can keep this up but as long as they win the premier league this year I can easily call it the best Liverpool team ever in history.

^ Considering there are a ton of people who used bitcoin cash as just a way to sell it and make money for free those people have been gone for a long time, it has been what? Close to 2.5 years since bitcoin cash started? Even last year there was a war between Craig and Jihan to get bitcoin cash and Craig lost so Jihan Wu plus Roger Ver has waaaaay too much power on bitcoin cash and that means it is as centralized as it gets and nobody that has an "investment" type of thought about bitcoin cash is gone. Who is left? Traders and people who just idle with their coins, those people could actually find a "way to spend bitcoin cash" finally because aside from trading it is totally useless, so  gambling houses give these coins some sort of use to actually spend it.

Now I don't really know much about dicey 7 neither but I once went 17 times in a row loss at 2x regular dice game, so I can't really say that odds could be understood from just 10 rolls in any game at all, the results would have to come from games like 50k+ played so that you can get the average out.

I have seen a similar test for example on gambling at another dice website once and dude played 50k and it had to be 1% on average and dude ended up with 1.03% instead of 1% which could happen it is actually quite close enough. So, just because you played 10 times and lost 9 of them don't think that game is too difficult or you did something wrong and what not, sometimes the luck is not in your favor and another time it will be, it all averages out in the long run.
