I'm not surprised by the sudden pump to $10,000. I mean this is to be expected because of the 'news' about the block halving. And I'm sure this is the mental goal of others here, to see Bitcoin getting into that 5 digits again before the halving. But what more interesting is how it is going to hold after the halving. Can it sustained it run a few days after or will there be a massive dump because everyone wanted to take profit at a side? The price increase doesn't seems to be organic, yes there is FOMO and sell the block halving news. So the anticipated part is how it will do post-halving.

Exactly, we may have hit $10k on some exchanges, for all we know. It's monumental because just two months ago, there are a lot of people calling bitcoin's doom and it is not a good investment, hedge in this pandemic, blah blah argument. But look at how it bounce back from that crash as we may be hitting 5 digits prior to the halving even. Of course the price will not go on parabola, but it is a good indication that Bitcoin will still be bullish and it is a good investment even if we have this Covid-19 pandemic. So we will see where will it take us from here.

Thank you to those who have replied, at least I know that I'm not the only one who have this gambling problem. My urge has died down a bit, but I still have this sort of anxiety induced gambling emotions and I'm still fighting it back. I recently found out that I still have some extra paint in my garage so probably I will take that as I challenge and do some paintings for the meantime. Again, thanks to those who gave advise, I think I can overcome this feeling in the next 48 hours.

You can see the Tennis point Exhibition here.

But I don't know if this has a live telecast on TV though. It will be good if there is one, maybe for the meantime mate you can just watch it online, to get the boredom out of ourselves. This pandemic really affect us all including the urge to gambling.


So we might catch the second and third run of this exhibition series so be ready.

Thank you for posting but you have to read the rules here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0.

All I can see is a link to telegram, ANN thread, you should provide us with more proof to say that this project is a scam. How do you say that they are scam projects? Not giving bounty rewards? running with investors money? Give us some details.

Probably the author just wanted to self promote BTC as the savior in this pandemic. LOL.

But yes, this is a somewhat useless data to begin with. Bitcoin is very volatile, and I do hope that those who put their $1200 in the market really knows what they are doing. Maybe after the halving we may see the being split as well, from $1200 to $600. 

Yesterday, for unknown reason, suddenly I feel the urge to gamble again. When the lock down was implemented here, land based casinos are close. I'm more of a physical casino player, however, I was not affected by the closure because I thought that this will just last for a week or two.

But yesterday was a different feeling though, their was like a feeling that I need to go to casino and play. Maybe it was just the effect of the boredom during this lock down. There are some mental stimulus, like my sister-in-law inadvertently says that he doesn't have any identification with her but his casino ids. LOL. Anyways, here is what I did to fight this inner demon within me.

1. Do some exercise, good thing about this lock down is that me and my kid age, 14 are doing some calisthenics and body weight exercises. So we did some reps and sets to keep my mind busy.

2. Netflix is your friend during this lock down.  . Watch movies that interest me.

3. I visualize myself totally stopping my gambling even after the lockdown. Yes, this is very tough on me, but I spend hours in my room doing some sort of mental visualization.

4. Talk to families, anything under the sun, bond with them, it is very relaxing.

5. Youtube. Search for inspirational video on how to quit gambling.

I don't know if you felt this feeling in this lock down. But for me it is real and I have to fight it back.

Do you guys have the same experience? How did you overcome it? Share your experience so that other gamblers will know how to respond.

Of course there are a lot of crypto based online game, yes I play online as well, but the land base casino is very different at least in my case.

Let's look at how he invested and make lots of money.

1. His investment approach - he looks for stocks that are undervalued and then investment on them and wait for it to grow overtime. Bitcoin isn't like stocks, it is very volatile and unpredictable

2. Bitcoin is not back up by anything - So he don't want to invest on something that he can't recover. Stocks on the other hand have this kind of safety net, it is folds then you can still recover some of your investment.

He might get it wrong but I don't think it will f**k up his reputation. He already build it and not just because he misunderstood bitcoin doesn't mean you will lose your respect on him.

Nah, don't believed anything that John McAfee is saying, specially that he has a questionable history.

And I guarantee that he blurted it out so that he will became relevant in the crypto discussion again. Because once he 'disowns' his so called $1 million prediction, and calling bitcoin an ancient past, this clown was totally forgotten. Anyway, we should taken any statement from John with a bag of salt.

True, but as the saying goes, "you can't teach old dogs new tricks". Deontay Wilder has been throughout in his career banking on his powerful right hand. They even hype it as weapon of mass destruction when he had a run and just knocking people out. But it was a different scenario when you fight a technical and savvy skill boxer like Tyson Fury. He didn't adjust even in the second fight. He thinks that he will just walk out out there again and knock Fury out. But it was not the case as Fury uses his boxing skill and Wilder didn't adjust and I don't think he can in the trilogy.

It became gambling when Jordan was betting against his golfer buddies. Yes, it was a sport for rich people, and that is why Jordan played with other players or personalities that has money and try to win against them.


I doubt that he play online black jack during his prime, he will be bored as hell. Of course he has every right to gamble at casinos because he has the money and probably playing with his friends too in private with huge wager.

Probably the OP can add having a entry and exit plan, some sort of plan of action. So if you are like going to go war, you need to understand when you are going to enter and when to exit, timing is everything here in crypto. You might see some dips and observed it and if you see that there is a lot of pressure already and the next break out run will be an uptrend they go enter. And then after sometime, when it is on top, then better exit and then some profits, rinse and repeat. So you need to understand where is potential retracement and upside levels.

Thanks @ Juggy777 for the update. I guess this kind of tournaments are geared towards those low rank players so that at least they have something to put in their pocket while we are still in the lock down. I'm just hoping that this will go full blown tournament so that we can continue tennis as we all know that this is a contact less sports, so the risk is minimal as compare to other sports. Just maybe there is a small chance that high rank players will 'insist' the tournament organizers to let them play. 

Confirming that I have received the payment for the first week.

Yeah, as other posters have said, this is going to be very interesting because this is the first tournament that we are going to see or read in the news (pun intended!).  I guess the Tennis organizers realized that the pandemic will continue as cases are growing everyday. But they can't just sit this out, they have to do something and this is their best effort to learn the sport continue for the meantime. And despite of the looming threat, it's all good as measures have been implemented. Hopefully, this will eventually work so we might see games around slowly.

Technically you're right, bull run could be defined as sustain rise in price in an extended period. Currently we are just seeing a minor run, but the thing is that the market is well alive after the corona virus scare and that is a good sign for us. Again, in the last 24 hours, the price seems to gather another momentum and pushing the price above $9000 again. And this gets more exciting as we approaches halving in less than 10 days. I guess in the next coming days, we will see threads about the price breaking five digits, LOL.

Good news?

Maybe this is just a test run I believed so obviously, those that are participating are outside of the top 100. But if this become successful, we might, just see another regular masters event at least in the next coming months. Every precautionary measures have been put into place. So let's see how this 'exhibition' match will turn out.

Cryptocurrencies also evolved, maybe majority are into Bitcoin, but cryptocurrency has some many facets, so altcoin was born. Like Ethereum or XRP, which become popular as well for enterprise solutions.


Those currencies you mentioned is controlled, cryptocurrency or at least Bitcoin is decentralised.

Because it has become a speculative asset, obviously FOMO prior the the halving. I think that's the reason why the price suddenly goes up in the last 2-3 days, unfortunately, it went on a 'healthy and minor' correction, so the rise has been broken already. So it's about 10 days before the halving, so chances are, bulls are going to push for that 5 digits again. So let's see how it goes, maybe some of the traders long position has been liquidated along the $9400 price, but we really can't tell as everyone is really trying to get inside before the halving.
