5161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Binance: $BNB The Future of Exchanges. on: May 31, 2019, 02:35:55 AM
They always have a big news to announce, and their competitors was not competing at the high level so people  choose Binance over the others.
We know their news is big enough to cause a big surge so I will not be surprise if further increase would happen, and you are right, 100 usd is easy.
I think the role of the IEO they are doing for marketing sales from the new project is one of the best weapons to continue to increase their value. the more people turn to the IEO they do, the higher the demand for the BNB. and that's very good.
That's very good for us investors, however we should also look on exchanges that offers IEO.

It cannot be BNB alone to rule the market, they have the most popular IEO but sooner these big exchanges will compete and will also host a great project in IEO. I am also thinking possibilities that one project can be hosted in different exchanges for its IEO, that would help the sale
as people does not only trust Binance for the IEO.
5162  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Next Bull Run on: May 31, 2019, 02:30:53 AM
Hello guys
With the recent pump being experienced with btc, could this be the next pump and break out to $10k0and above?
What should one look out for.
Thanks

Hopefully, I am just hoping as I don't really know if the price will rise to that level.
I'm investing and still holding, so I can say I believe it will rise, but like I said I don't know but definitely we will reach
that price if we will hold longer, if not this year, then surely next year before halving.

Lots of rumors and speculation online, and most of them are positive, so I have to trust my guts on this.
5163  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC will hit $1M on 2020 - John McAfee on: May 31, 2019, 02:18:34 AM
I love the price prediction, but I don't love John McAfee, so I will not believe in him, that's too unrealistic for me.
Bitcoin to hit $1 million by next year, that was a joke, we even have a hard time reaching a new ATH this year.
5164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The End of Bear Market, Confirmed!! on: May 31, 2019, 01:57:38 AM
I do not see new traders as I do not see new capital entering the market. In the past two months we have witnessed a drainage of capital from Alt to Bitcoin, and in fact the dominance has reached 60%, while in recent weeks we are witnessing a transfer of liquidity from Bitcoin to other Coins, which go up in turn, one to time.

The real and big capitals are still out; the holders never left; those who move the market are the traders: there are those who hurt themselves (many) and those who are better or have news in preview, and earn.

One way to know if there are new traders coming in is by looking at its trading volume.
As of today, the daily market trading volume has increase to $89 billion, and that's a big improvement since before it was only around $20 billion and lower, and also, I've seen that volume increase to $100 billion many times this year, so that would confirm there are new money coming in to the market.


This in bold isn't true, it simply means that different actors are frantically buying a good: you and I can buy bitcoins 10 times a day and make a volume of 10k $, but we can also buy 100 times a day and make a volume of 100k $.

The price may have moved a little or a lot, it doesn't matter, but what you immediately notice and the daily volume change, but this does not mean that new actors have entered, with new money .... they can always be the same old ones, probably the biggest trading bots.
Possible, but with a significant increase of volume, we can tell that somehow there's new money entering in the market.

Try to analyze the trading volume in the past, like in 2017 where bitcoin is so bullish, this year's volume is still the highest, and if only there's  another way to determine the new money entering, we would not only based on the trading volume and just give our opinion on it as we can see the facts.
5165  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitblender shutting down? on: May 30, 2019, 12:00:59 PM
Is an unfortunate information coming in to the forum, I'm just reading this thread now. I hope people got their coin back?. I think chipmixer is the one currently available for anonymous services.
I hope Chipmixer will not stop their operation so we can still have enjoy mixing our coins and will retain our anonymity in the space.
Chipmixer is one of the trusted mixer here and I can vouch this based on my experience.

2 mixers are down so far, but I'm not expecting there will be new big mixer that will or be shut down.
We know the reason for bestmixer's shut down, but bitblender is just the decision of the owner to stop and until now we are only seeing speculation on the reasons why they shut down.
5166  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Which Mixer is getting axed next? on: May 30, 2019, 11:39:26 AM
I hope no mixer will be shut down next, they are a big loss of the crypto space already, there are only few reputable mixers now and those 2 who are good mixers were shut down and have shut down respectively.

If we cannot prevent this from happening, I hope Chipmixer will stay alive, because it's one of the best mixers in the space.

Also, I'm hoping more mixers will be created so they will fill the loss of the mixers recently not operating anymore.
5167  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: VOISE - Revolution of the music industry on: May 30, 2019, 11:14:59 AM
when see again rise of voise

We are very much waiting, when the market continues to rise as it is now, many coins/tokens that were initially dead can wake up again, VOISE has a lot of funds when the ICO because it reaches hardcap and hopes to achieve at least the price at ICO.

No it didn't, try to review  the project again, if they have reached their hard cap, they would not have a problem with a volume which is very low now.
5168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Hunters the cause of token dumping ? on: May 30, 2019, 10:56:48 AM
I don't think it's entirely a bounty hunter's fault, if indeed the ICO project is indeed good, I don't think it will have too much impact if the bounty hunter sells his tokens
The first impression of the people is very important, even if the project is good but it started with a dump, it might affect the buying decision of investors. If the project is really good, the team will ensure that there will be no dump when it's release for trading, and even if bounty hunters have to dump, they already anticipated that and made the right measures to control the dump.
5169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is for scammers, yea right! on: May 29, 2019, 07:28:13 AM
Fiat and crypto can be all used for scamming, but people judging bitcoin for scammers, that makes them stupid.

If they don't understand it, they should not judge it, fiat is more used in crimes than bitcoin and maybe some people are destroying
bitcoin because it's transparent and decentralized and could be a threat to fiat.

The future is unknown for bitcoin, but we are here trusting it by risking our money.
5170  Economy / Economics / Re: A cryptocurrency with volatility can't be used as money on: May 29, 2019, 07:13:33 AM
I'm just reading an article in the newspaper. Klaus W. Wellershoff (a last chief in UBS Bank) says that's impossible to use a currency with volatility as money. If the value of the money decrease, that means the value of the merchandise decrease. For example : if you buy a flat with bitcoin and few years later the bitcoin value decrease... Your flat lose his value as well.

What do you think about this argument?

There is no connection with bitcoin and flat, so why the flat would lose its value. It is true that bitcoin is a very volatile currency, but it has more advantages than disadvantages so we have to keep that in mind.
There are two sides, if you use bitcoin as money which you just use it for payment in your daily living, then it's a bad idea as it's volatile and people can't afford to lose even a small value especially those who people who just work to earn. In the other side, if you use bitcoin as investment, it's better as it's value will increase in the long run as the market continues to get better and better in the long run, but only investors will benefit it.

Bitcoin can only compete with fiat if it's stable enough, but I don't think it will be stable as fiat since it's decentralized price could move when there is speculation in the market.

We need 3rd party to make this happen, bitcoin to third party to payee, that should happen.

I've noticed the thread has been marked as "(Closed)", is the campaign still on and that's just relating to new participants?

Maybe closed for new participants, otherwise he would have made a format announcement here.
Also, if you can check the  - spreadsheet, he updated it with the period "5/27 - 6/3"
5172  Economy / Economics / Re: 2018 the year of correction? on: May 29, 2019, 06:30:55 AM
In my opinion I believed 2018 to be the year of ethereum, as well to experience good growth with majority of the altcoins.
LOL, 2018 is a bad year, it's really a year of correction, and 2018 was the worst year for crypto, especially the altcoins like ETH.

ETH high in 2018 was 1398 usd while its low was 86 usd, there was a major dump here.

To the expectation everything happened in the opposite manner. 2018 not the year of correction, but it was truly the year where people understood the true nature of cryptocurrency.

Whatever you think about that year, it was a bad year and we need to recover, well, hopefully this year is the year for big recovery.
5173  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Market is still Green this month.What do you think? on: May 28, 2019, 04:39:27 AM
For bitcoin i think is possible to reach 10k$ next month and maybe only after that we can have a bull run for altcoin, but in my opinion we will have to wait more for altcoins to grow, but is a good sign that the price for bitcoin continue grow.
I'm hoping for a bull run after that, but $10,000 is possible, let's just wait for a little time, then it will just show up and hopefully the FOMO will start.
5174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buying for a long term. on: May 28, 2019, 04:24:41 AM
I don't buy any of coins OP write, but i buy electroneum for long term, i really don't know if i made a good decision but i think if team behind project do what they say then a good profit can be made.
If this coin will recover, good decision that you buy now.
I heard this coin in the past as it pump big time, as I checked now, it's ATH was over 1k sats while current price is only 51 sats.
Price that you gotten it is a steal, it's a good value as even if it will just recovered 100%, you are gonna enjoy that good profit already.

Also, consider the current market situation now, we are in bullish trend, so if the bull run will once again make this market go crazy,
you will see what will happen, and you should be excited when that time comes.
5175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You cannot win in gambling on: May 28, 2019, 04:10:26 AM
I just had a really bad day gambling today with Roma losing a ticket for me and their odd was 1.20 and they were playing against the last place of Italian Serie A. I thought a bad day and move on and played another ticket this time I choose Brondby as they were playing at home against a team they had beaten almost always and the odd was 1.35. This was even worse as Brondby lost 2-4 at home to a team quoted from the bookies at 8.5

Now I am not an expert in gambling but this day was a really eye opener for me, you can never win in gambling. Imagine when you can't win in lotto , soccer betting or whatever you call it, you don't have a chance in slots.

Yes you can win from time to time but you cannot beat a gambling site, it's very hard to do that only in the movie god of gamblers that a gambling casino losses, just put gambling to its proper place by treating it as an entertainment and you will be better of with this thinking.
Movies are not reality, it's just fantasies, we are the only one who can prove to ourselves and to other people that we are not winning in a casino.
That is being concern to other people as we want them to learn from our experience and not them learning on their own which is costly as a gambler.

Congrats to the person in the top. I already concede in this competition, I have no chance to win, I'm in the lowest.

Next time host a competition where the lowest scores wins. Grin


Lol! You still might not win if it was stated that the participant with the lowest point would be the winner, Perhaps It's all about your luck Grin

Don't mentioned it. hahah. Cry Cry Cry

I'm just unlucky at this competition.. But since I'm seeing some love here for the Raptors, I might put my bet on them to win in the series.
I got a better odds, plus I will be having fun while watching them.
5177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is needed for a gambler to the success? on: May 27, 2019, 07:54:40 AM
gambling involved more than luck in them.

Change your mindset, that is not needed to be a successful gambler, also you don't need to play in a casino and beat the house to be successful, as there's a thin change that you will make it.

Here's what we have to do, focus on one skilled based game that you like and improve yourself.
Poker or sports betting, just choose between the two, but for me I'd choose sports  betting as this is my game, only problem is I'm not yet successful now.
5178  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you prefer? Sportsbet or casino on: May 27, 2019, 07:44:26 AM
I personally like casino games because I can control some games using strategies while it is hard to win by lucky betting in sports.

That's your preference, you have to enjoy doing it.

Sports gambling also requires some skills, relying on luck alone, might not make you consistent in gambling, if you are familiar with the game you are betting in sports, you will likely feel confident and you will encourage yourself in learning how to be consistent to win.
5179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: May 27, 2019, 04:03:51 AM
I think this just goes to show you that one big star can make so much differences. Demar derozan is a great player, he is an all-star and he is seen as one of the best players in our league. However kawhi is literally top 3 in the league right now, he is the best player with great offense and defense at the same time, nobody has better offense AND defense than him, just one of them could be better on other players. He is THAT good. So what happened? When spurs got demar they got eliminated by nuggets in first round with him and said bye bye to the playoffs. Look at Kawhi, dude managed to bring Raptors to finals in his first ever season after demar failed to do so in the past 4-5 years. Difference between "great player" and "top 3 player" is literally worlds apart.

I agree, Leonard and DeRozan is not comparable, specially on the mental factor. I mean he literally carry the team down 0-2 against the most hype player in the NBA right now and upset them, winning 4 straight games. Damn, I wish I was still in Toronto this days, because I'm sure all my NBA friends and families are very happy to see the Raptors finally made it to the finals with Leonard at the helm.

Forget about DeRozan , he cannot shoot 3s, and I don't see a champion who can't shoot 3s. LOL.
Anyway, he is happy with the Spurs but comparing to Leonard, his guy is nothing, Leonard is in the Level of Kobe Bryant and Lebron James now.

Remember, Leonard guarded Lebron in the NBA finals where he earned his first Finals MVP award.
