Libra is not decentralized so it is not going to teach people about the cryptos through using it.
Libra is not but crypto now is not all compose of decentralized coins, there are also coins that are centralized which are the stable coins, and Libra belongs to the stable coins group and will sure lead the group.

In my opinion people won't take libra as serious thing since its just have same value of fiat money so no one would consider it as investment so adoption wont be there.
I disagree, Libra is a real store of value, and people needs this in their online transaction and it's easy because facebook users can do transaction using Libra. I think it's the easiest and if people really does not take it seriously, then why is it that the US government are so concern with Libra's launch?
5202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 29, 2019, 12:04:00 PM
May is not a billionaire, at least in dollars, I saw a youtube video about the richest boxer in sports, and Manny was only rank no. 3 with 200 million usd net worth. I don't know if that data is reliable but I could believe he is not that rich. He can own  PBA team but not an NBA team.
I think he can qualify to as a stake holder though i don't know what's the amount to become one but i think 200 million USD is more than enough for a stake.
For stake I think that's reliable estimate. A result came out on google about this related topic, the other amounts were outdated but at least we have an idea with the figures and how costly it is to own a team.
https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-it-cost-to-buy-an-NBA-basketball-team
So every team has different rate, and I think even at the lowest valued team, Manny can't afford at the moment, unless he will put all his money in the NBA. Buying a low valued team is a good investment if the team would improve in the long run as it will also increase it's value, also the location is one big factor as well, and the popularity of the team which it has build from the past is important.

I'm just curious now on what will happen to the Cavaliers, they were so popular when Lebron was with them but now they are losing fans and there was one time that they were selling tickets at a very low price already.

Of course there are friends. How do I follow, how come?
I joined the Signature campaign on Invech bounty https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5158357.0
This project is good for you to join.
Of course you will say it's a good signature campaign because you join in that campaign.
I wish we have a thread where we can see a summary of active signature campaign in altcoins similar to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

When there's something like that, that will exist here, it's easy for us to find good bounties based on the members comment here.
I can understand that it's hard to maintain that thread so that's maybe the reason why I didn't find one.

5205  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 on: July 29, 2019, 06:38:22 AM
Pacman does not need any more proof that he is one of the best and a hall of famer. Fighting Conor would be one if the best decisions of his life. Big money, easy fight hehehe. He would take no less than $30 million, I reckon.

How much did Pacman get for fighting Keith Thurman?
The guaranteed fight purse for Manny Pacquiao would be around $20 million and Thurman would take home around $8 million for the fight, Conor McGregor is a real super start in the sport and if Manny Pacquiao fights Conor that would be another $100 million fight day as Conor McGregor is a special talent who has the ability to pull huge audience irrespective of his boxing skills.
Manny Pacquiao would have already grab that opportunity if he really think this fight is good for his legacy.
I know it's also about the Money but I never heard Pacman mentioned of fighting a UFC fighter just to make more money even how popular they are.
5206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is bitcoin gambling really accepted in China ? on: July 29, 2019, 06:31:53 AM
I think it's prohibited to do bitcoin gambling in china but I don't know if bitcoin is banned there. If they know how to use vpn there then imo they can do bitcoin gambling there. It is more convenient and you can gamble anywhere and anytime you want.
Once gambling is ban, it's ban whatever resources you are using to gamble.
AFAIK, bitcoin is not ban in china, and in fact these days, there are already good news about bitcoin in china to which they already regulate bitcoin and consider it as properly.

Here's the latest news :

So it can go either way, they can choked and not finished in the top 3 or rise to the occasion and be have a very successful NBA team. Other teams are also laden with NBA or even ex-NBA players so it will be very tough for this young college players, just saying.

Some will just assume that because it's team USA they are really good.
Only those who study each teams will know which team has a great value for betting, and with the current odds of team USA, I'm not seeing its value.
5208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: if you want to win big...accept defeat on: July 29, 2019, 05:01:47 AM
once they make good profits and starts to lose they refuse to accept the defeat and keep playing to recover,
I can't deny that I have this kind of attitude sometimes, it's a mistake actually but I was able to control myself and learn.
This is a bad mentality in gambling, not accepting our loses will make our journey hard and probably we might end up getting bankrupt in the long run.
5209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 on: July 29, 2019, 04:49:55 AM
Am I the only one who wants Pacman versus Conor? I reckon the trash talking would be entertaining. Pacman might not forgive Conor and make him wear his sunglasses for 3 months hehehe.

I think so, Pacman does not fight a UFC fighter to ruin his reputation, he won't follow Mayweather's footstep, instead he'll fight Mayweather anytime.

What reputation? Pacman does not need any more proof that he is one of the best and a hall of famer. Fighting Conor would be one if the best decisions of his life. Big money, easy fight hehehe. He would take no less than $30 million, I reckon.

How much did Pacman get for fighting Keith Thurman?

First, we have to ask, is it really the best for Manny right now?
I don't think so, they are different, Conor can't beat Manny Pacquaio in the boxing ring, just like Mayweather did to him which is a clear one sided fight.
Maybe by the time he will retire like Mayweather, he can have fights like this, right now, he is still in the stage of building more his career and people would rather see a boxer who has the record and who can bring the hype in the game, just like Thurman.
5210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Doge coin is good or bad for investment ? on: July 28, 2019, 11:34:58 PM
Personally, i never invested in Dogecoin. So, I would suggest you have a look at Bitcoin, Ethereum or Binance Coin, Chainlink coins! They are a better investment than Dogecoin.
If you never invested on dogecoin how the hell you can say if those coin are better than dogecoin? On what reason you are saying that? Because "bitcoin will pump soon" or "Eth will follow bitcoin price" or "binance, because they are the biggest exchange site", which one you reffering?
People are bias, the fact that they don't invest in a certain coin, that means they don't believe on it and they invest in a coin that they believe is better.
It's not gambling that you have to experience it first before you can say anything, in the market, there are coins that we should avoid but only based on our own judgment.
5211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum will reach $ 2500 on: July 28, 2019, 11:19:48 PM
With the current price of Ethereum it might appear that 2500$ will be impossible but in this Space nothing is impossible. Ethereum will definitely attend that price but it is not something that will happen soon, it will take time and maybe years.


Correct, we need to accept the reality ethereum is very slow moving up,their price until now, I agree and I believe 2500$ hit by ethereum will wait for long time 2 to 3 year. But I expect this ethereum price reach again the lod price before startbit to dump price hit 1500$ if the bitcoin bullrun.
That long period of time, probably ETH would be valued at that time because I'm thinking BTC will be over $50K usd.
When BTC rises, ETH will follow, at least it's value if it's not yet ready to rise independently, what we need to see is the altcoin market to have a rally also, as this would bring the entire market looks better, bitcoin dominance will drop and it will be a healthy market for all.
5212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Iran legalizes mining on: July 28, 2019, 11:34:20 AM
That is how Westerners view the negative side of other countries, but I like to conclude that everyone should have freedom of mining because there is already support from the government
That's the most important thing, support and regulation so they will feel their investment are safe.
Building a mining rig is costly, so investors needs assurance that they will not be stop anytime so they can get their ROI in time with continues operation.
5213  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin season is not here yet. on: July 28, 2019, 11:30:29 AM
That is true altcoin season is not started yet.
Maybe it will coming in the q4 of this year,imo.

Hopefully, but the price movement of bitcoin this quarter is very crucial, so far, it seemed like it's not moving bullish, there is swing of price and bitcoin today is down, but it I hope it will not go below further.
I already hope for nothing. There are a couple of altcoins that I hold in long. As for Bitcoin ... at a price of 30k, it will give a profit of 10x, tokens of projects with great potential can give a profit more
I was thinking the same, I go hard on altcoins because the trend says they are more profitable, but now they are not yet performing.
If we based on 2017, altcoins are so profitable, especially XRP, so that maybe what in the mind of people why they keep buying, the future is just so unpredictable.
5214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does hard work in gambling count? on: July 28, 2019, 08:49:46 AM
But I completely agree with you regarding luck based games. Hard work can't help you to win in those games. 
We are experience gamblers, we understand that because of our experience, but it's sad to see that there are still people out there even though they are aware of our comments and suggestion about this thing, but still want to try to experiment to win.
5215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is parlay an effective betting strategy? on: July 28, 2019, 08:03:56 AM
I've won some good amount with paylay in sports betting in the past but when I start doing it in a regular basis, it seems my overall return is negative.
So my question, do you bet on parlay and why?, and what's the biggest odds you've won so far?

I've hit a max of around 30-35x. I do lose most of the times but  if I win I recover back so it just gives a little profit. I prefer betting parlay rather than single with low odds. I always mix up my parlay with bet events with low odds around 1.5-2x each and bet on it and have really gave me good results so far. I do have a spreadsheet where I have my old parlays still. I need to check back to see my actual highest parlay that I had won.

You are some kind of serious with your parlay strategy, that's good man, I though parlay was just for fun bets, at least on my own stance, but you did great for tracking your record and that would tell at least on your side that parlay is not a bad technique.
5216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2018-2019 betting on: July 28, 2019, 03:53:32 AM
This thread is now unlocked since we can now bet on NBA. Once again, I like to see some good comments here from our regular posters and share your picks in a game you bet, let's make this thread rock again.
5217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 on: July 28, 2019, 03:48:29 AM
Just like in a Fifa world cup, all the continents are represented, same is the case with basketball world cup. Maybe in future India and Pakistan will represent in the FIBA . It is the famous sports but it is not so popular in Sub-continent.

Basketball is not that unheard of in India and Pakistan. In India we have a franchise based basketball league, which is quite popular among the fans. But the real reason is that the Indians are not athletic enough to compete with players from the United States and Russia. Average height in India for males is 165 cm, which is 11cm lower than the case in the US.

One of the options is to import some second tier players from countries such as US and get them naturalized as Indian citizens. But I don't prefer that route.
In other words, asian are not that competitive in basketball, even China which they have tall players but they are not athletic enough unlike the Americans.
However, it's still nice to see them compete with better teams in the FIBA, we can only support our team here but we understand their chances.
5218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Perfect Dice experience on: July 28, 2019, 03:37:07 AM
These days most of the dice sites give perfect dice experience.
That's because of the competition in the market, without a big competition, they would not do big innovation.
It's the easiest form of game and the most popular game in the forum, and as long as they continue to care for their gamblers and give the best experience, for sure they will remain profitable and this competition really gives us an option to enjoy more.
5219  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: July 28, 2019, 03:19:43 AM
I am hoping my case gets resolved, this is not a way to deal with your users.

How will they know your concern if you will not specify it.
AFAIR, concerns and even big scam accusations are resolve by clouldbet that's why they got their positive rating in the forum.
5220  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My mindset vs. Mindset of people around me. on: July 27, 2019, 10:53:41 AM
You know what, just don't mind them, if they judge you easily, that means they would not listen to you.
You have no obligation to explain to them you life and your passion, just do your thing and remember that as long as you are not violating anyone's right, you can live peacefully even if others will judge you the way they think.

I don't work as well, but I don't have the kind of feeling you shared here, maybe we don't have the same attitude.

They are not seeing me wearing corporate dress, go to work everyday, but I have a wonderful house and a car, which I earn in crypto.
They sometimes judge me that I'm a drug dealer, but I just don't mind.
