The lady is the one who is embarrassed with it that is why she want the video deleted.
No Jamal face in it but it came from his IG so that's his dick.  Grin

Gawd damn.

The video can be seen on Harper Hempel newly created twitter account, a freaking cold-blooded santanas uploaded it in the comment section into her tweet that asking the video to be deleted.

I'm dying reading all of the comments there. Cheesy

Yeah, saw the video too,

Those comments are really hilarious, I don't think how devastated Harper Hempel is, but one comment says that he should capitalised on it to become famous, LMAO. Kim K. 2020. Cheesy

Hey, I was wondering, how will the crypto market react to the virus?
In this regard, I found the article about it, https://cryptogeek.info/en/blog/coronavirus-reveals-cryptocurrencies-are-crisis-resistant, it says, that crypto is well resisted to the crisis, what do you think? Is that true?

Cryptocurrencies really take a big hit on March 8-9, but we have somewhat weathered the storm as compare to global markets. We have a good bounce around $6600-$6700 days after the bloodshed, but currently, $6000-$6100, so pretty much we stabilised around that price.

This is the first time we have seen a pandemic, so we would understand how the market will react, but then again, of all the markets around the globe, it seems that cryptocurrency remain very resilient to such crisis. We have be affected short term, but with the halving coming, we might see crypto recovering in the next months or so.

Of course, a market that runs 24x7, 365 days a year. Everyone is very welcome to trade.

But the only thing is the timing, are we going to enter during a bearish market or you guys prefer the bull cycle? So traders have their own strategy, there is no perfect formula etch in stone here. It really up to us, to learn how to make money or at least earn decent regardless of what cycles we are in.

In other regards, Rudy should be really emberassed now, he DID something really bad, he risked everyones life and the people they know so it was seriously disgusting what he did, I know he is young and an idiot as well but dude probably caused tens of infections when you look at the bigger picture like people he infected that infected others that infec.. like that. So I think he should at least get a penalty or something, I hope he will learn his lesson harshly.

Sooner or later, there is a big chance that some NBA players might get the infection, it just so happen that Rudy was the first one to get it. Yes, he could be embarrassed as he spread the virus that causes the NBA season to be cancelled for the time being.

But giving him what penalty? I guess that's an exaggeration. He even try to mend things by donation $500,000 to help health organisations.

Rudy Gobert is donating more than $500,000 to support both the employee relief fund at Vivint Smart Home Arena and COVID-related social services relief in Utah, Oklahoma City and within the French health care system.

I think they are already prepared and I"m sure they are going to think about their health first.

There could be a call for the suspensions next month. And by the way, it's not only Muslim that will celebrate festivities in April, Easter is also coming, and Sikh festivals.

So I think this year will be very different because of the current COVID-19 pandemic.
5207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New altcoin ideas. on: March 22, 2020, 11:54:28 AM
Of course every new idea is welcome in crypto currency.

But the product itself should be unique and have some real life use case/usage. That for me is really important.

As for Python/C++, no complains here, I used to be a developer back then using C/C++, love the programming specially C. It will pose a challenge but I think you can get the code going, best of luck.
5208  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam alert] NCOVID19 BTC giveaway on: March 22, 2020, 11:07:23 AM
Those low-life are really taking advantage of this whole hysteria and then play psychology on people.

Pretending to help them in this time of need, promising give-aways and such, but at the end of the end, it's going to be a double whammy for the victims.

All we can do is equip ourselves with knowledge so that we won't fall for this kind of trick.
5209  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is 12K USD is the next target? on: March 22, 2020, 09:48:47 AM
Way too much work and volume in the way of any price objective before we get back to five digits.  4500 to 7500 is an area I want to see worked out first.    As we progress, it will be like rungs on a ladder and each with its own resistance and support band before we move to the next range.

Yes, I think we are going to see the price in that range.

If there's no corona virus, possible that $12k can be reached, but with the pandemic resulting in an economic turmoil across traditional financial market, we might be having a hard time reaching 5 digits again. It's a big psychological barrier in front of us, and lately, bitcoin has been in a wild price swing. Indicating that traders are scalping and trying to make every profit as they can make.
5210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Another price rejection incoming on: March 21, 2020, 04:23:41 PM
I just came across this news today that Bitcoin could revisit 3000$ said the guy who first predicted Bitcoin crash to 3k, I wonder what this is all about, I refuse to accept that this is another Coronavirus punishment on the market, if you are holding top altcoins you should be ready

You should have link us the news here so that we can see the TA. But I would agree that we are still somewhat in the bearish trend. We are not out of the woods because of the pandemic as stocks and crypto are somewhat in a wild swing.

What do you mean by if we are holding top coins and be ready? Dump or buy at a discount price?
5211  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cryptocurrency price is coming back. on: March 21, 2020, 12:03:42 PM
I guess we will see now if the market is really holding strong, we are at $6000, a good price to hold due to the recovery, and seems there is no panic anymore. No pump and dump as of now, but let's just observe what would happen next, the global pandemic is still something we can consider as a big threat on what bitcoin will dump again, but maybe the $2000 dump is already big enough and there's no dump incoming, I just hope so.
That's the only thing that we can do right now, the pandemic virus needs to be considered while the market still trying to cope up and work to stand within this ground. Difficult for everyone but if you do have enough money to spare keep everything on hold and wait for some time the market will recover.

Or on the contrary, BTFD?

Right now the price is just above $6k, so there's a lot of price swing in the last 24 hours, meaning those who have bought the price around $4900 or less could have been selling at the height of the $6500-$6700 peak.

@sheenshane - personally, don't like to see those whale_alert on twitter, it seems that it could be used as a tool by whales to somewhat push their narratives, just saying.
5212  Economy / Economics / Re: I think I Found The Reason For Bitcoin's Latest Crash on: March 21, 2020, 11:08:43 AM
This is one theory as well, even prior to the big dump that we have seen.

Quote
The big drop in bitcoin’s (BTC) price Thursday was in the making since March 8, data on the flow of funds into exchanges indicates.

The biggest cryptocurrency by market value collapsed from $7,900 to a 10-month low of $4,700 on Thursday and extended the decline to 12-month lows below $3,900 early Friday.

Data provided by blockchain analysis firm CryptoQuant shows inflows into major exchanges, or deposits, began rising at higher-than-usual rate beginning March 8. One way to read this is as a possible co-ordinated action by whales to dump the cryptocurrency.

https://www.coindesk.com/whale-watching-exchange-data-contained-early-warning-of-thursdays-bitcoin-dump

So even prior to the "quantum discovery" in March 11, as the article suggested, there seems to be a large movement of BTC prior to the collapse on March 11/12 pulling the price to the high $3'ish. So probably manipulation in light of the corona virus scare.
5213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Opera now lets US users buy crypto with Apple Pay or debit card on: March 21, 2020, 10:16:18 AM
This is good information actually but now the user of opera has reduced.

Most people just use google chrome or mozilla even in the US most of them only use safari for browsing stuff.

And other than that OPERA has supported blockchain in long time ago, if I'm not mistaken they have a feature wallet on their browser.

I guess this is one strategy of Opera to bring back their customers?

Specially that cryptocurrencies are slowly getting worldwide attention, they have to jump on the bandwagon. To be honest, I'm an Opera user for about two years now, (on/off though), but I appreciate this kind of 'improvement' in my browsing experience.
5214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto theft on: March 21, 2020, 09:17:36 AM
A woman was arrested in Bengaluru India for allegedly stealing 63bitcoins from Bitcipher Labs which is an exchange and she was a co founder to this exchange, that's over 470,000$, the fund was actually recovered but I wonder why all other crypto thefts and scammers aren't caught this easy.

It's because these scammers knows how to hide everything in blockchain to obfuscate or hide their track.

However, there are companies like CipherTrace - who is a crypto forensics.

But as far as your post? At least provide us the link so that we can take a look on it to better provide better discussions.

Edit: I saw @meanwords posting the links already.

National Cyber Security Alliance Encourages Vigilance Against Coronavirus Scams, Best Cybersecurity Practices for Remote Workers

Quote
NCSA offers these tips to avoid being a victim of these scams:

- Don’t reveal personal or financial information in an email, and do not respond to email solicitations for this information. This includes following links sent in email.

- Pay attention to the website’s URL. Malicious websites may look identical to a legitimate site, but the URL may use a variation in spelling or a different domain (e.g., .com versus .net).

- If you are unsure whether an email request is legitimate, try to verify it by contacting the company directly. Contact the company using information provided on an account statement, not information provided in an email. Check out the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) to learn about known phishing attacks and/or report phishing.

- Keep a clean machine. Keep all software on internet-connected devices – including PCs, smartphones and tablets – up to date to reduce risk of infection from malware.

- Additionally, as more employees are working from home due to the coronavirus outbreak, NCSA urges companies to establish security policies and guidelines for remote workers and train them on these policies and the company’s expectations. Companies should also have a clear process for reporting any IT issues for remote workers so they know who to turn to for support.

NCSA recommends the following tips for employees working remotely on how they can stay safe online when using company devices:

- Connect to a secure network and use a company-issued Virtual Private Network to access any work accounts. Home routers should be updated to the most current software and secured with a lengthy, unique passphrase. Employees should not be connecting to public WiFi to access work accounts unless using a VPN.

- Separate your network so your company devices are on their own WiFi network, and your personal devices are on their own.

- Keep devices with you at all times or stored in a secure location when not in use. Set auto log-out if you walk away from your computer and forget to log out.

- Limit access to the device you use for work. Only the approved user should use the device (family and friends should not use a work-issued device)

- Regardless of where you are, NCSA urges all internet users to stay safer and more secure online by updating software on all devices (including antivirus and firewalls) backing up data, enabling multi-factor authentication and having strong, lengthy passphrases for each online account.

So better be very vigilant and in order not to be a victim here, we need to equip ourselves with the knowledge and understanding how cyber criminals attack.
5216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH is all set to boom now... on: March 20, 2020, 01:47:19 PM
Guys, I am telling this to you after going through some hard day's ETH sees massive upswing now. It broke the key hurdle of $130 level and gave a solid start and the bulls have gained some momentum in the market because ETH is closely tracking Bitcoins price action at the moment. I guess it depends upon the pump of BTC if it pumps I am sure alts will follow the same.

Not just Ethereum, but almost all alts follow bitcoin's pump right now. Some of them have gain more than bitcoin, 20%-30% in the last 24 hours. As far as Ethereum goes, yes, it almost din touch $300 around Jan-Feb, however, the corona effect really pull all the market down.

But it seems we are in a bullish sentiments, maybe the next target is 150$, let's see if Ethereum pumpers can push the price to that big next barrier.
5217  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC lost 3K $ in 1 day, Whales Are In Action on: March 20, 2020, 12:04:04 PM
Let's see whether this was a stealth rise while the US stock markets were asleep. If it continues to go up, or at least be buoyant, while stocks fall or stagnate then we might properly be on to something. Even then we'll need several days of it to be sure.
I also tried to confirm that. this is really interesting. when the price dropped so fast, I thought that the price could reach $ 3k as they say. However, right now the price is recovering, even I think that prices will continue to rise until they reach levels above $ 7000

All markets are green now, bitcoin closing in at $7k, but I don't know if this is a bull trap or we're in sort of mini bull run after a scare to $3k because of the novel corona virus.

Well every time that the majority thinks that the price will tank, the price suddenly will go on the opposite direction. So let's see if $7k is doable within this month.
5218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alvarez vs. Golovkin: The Trilogy we've all been waiting for! on: March 20, 2020, 09:22:59 AM
Canelo is the favorites here, that is expected and it's fair line that most sports bettors would agree.
I believe that Canelo has the edge here, well majority believed as we can see on the odds provided above, but I would go for Golovkin and hoping for an upset.

Yes, I believed that Canelo should be the favourite based on his last performance against a LHW Kovalev.
Although GGG also won his fight after a lost to Canelo, in Derevyanchenko and Rolls, it looks lke he is not the same GGG that we are hoping to see. It seems that he had struggled on those both fights. And there could be others arguing that Derevyanchenko was very closed and he was hit more than he should get.
5219  Economy / Economics / Re: Coronavirus is very harmful to fiat currencies, not bitcoin on: March 20, 2020, 08:01:15 AM
Fiat currency is a physical object , so it is possible that the virus could be pass on to another person, that is why there are countries who avoids accepting physical money for their own sake because you can't really say if that money has been touch or not by an infected person.
This is where the fiat is disadvantaged, as people are often to use fiat and contacted it, the virus could easily transfer from one to another person leaving the disability of the virus to be airborne useless. Using crypto and other digital payments would be helpful on such cases like this, it might be even the solution for non-contact policies and social distancing.

Transmission of the virus via Fiat money is not such a big problem. If there is such a percentage of infected, it is not large. The main reason for the spread of infection is direct contact with a sick person. We must first defeat the virus, and then the focus will be on the economy, including cryptocurrencies.

Right, I'm pretty sure that every scientist are doing their jobs 24x7 to find a cure and a vaccine to control the spread. They don't have that much time though, another month and multiple deaths will have a big impact on the world economy.

There are stimulus package being injected by the central banks to help ease the pressure, but I don't think it will be enough though. It will be just a temporary solution, in my opinion.

And this is the problem of accounts just posting here to advertisement their project and not come back. I'm following the thread as I'm interested. Anyways, decided not to try.
