You are right about that, but than you also need to hold everything. I still hold some crypto, but in this bull market, I also sold already quite a lot just to make some profit.
I sold 80% of my DOGE when it hit 0.01$, as I thought that would be the maximum. Never imagined that it would get such a hype thanks to Elon Musk.

If you're in crypto and you're serious about being in it for the longterm, then yeah of course you need to learn to hodl;)

Selling in the bullrun's nice, but you can never really know where the top is, as you found out selling DOGE at 1 cent. I actually don't believe were even in the middle of the rally yet and still plenty of months left to really show new highs.

What most individuals fail to realize is that the effectivity of vaccines differentiate among individuals across their age group. Being vaccinated perse does not make a person absolutely immune from acquiring the virus.

The only instance where I can see people not using their masks if their COVID-19 cases in their country is close to zero to none. If, however, there are still people who are not vaccinated, thus have active cases in the area, then people should still exercise caution and wear masks.

Yep, I think this part was really not well communicated that even I didn't know until I'd read a lot about it.

It improves your chances and probability of NOT getting it, or if you get it, it increases your chances not just to survive it but also show less severity for the symptoms.

But it doesn't make you immune nor does it help prevent you from spreading it. Masks is all about this!

I kind of get why you guys are angry and why a lot of people are, but where was all this anger when Elon was Tweeting about Bitcoin since last year? He's done and gone and made a lot of fuss and people are feeding into it. If you don't like it, leave it be, don't feed the monster that is Elon. Just come back after a few months, he'll be ineffective;)

Yeah, Its a lot harder to rank up to higher levels by placing bets on the sportsbook only. I'm not saying it's not possible but that it takes a lot longer to reach those levels. It's even harder to compete in those wager competitions since you've to wait 90 minutes for your sports bets to settle and then a while longer to get another event that you can bet on (sometimes a week plus) while these casino games are always open. But there's no point moving over. Just keep at it. You'll get there just that it'll take longer.

Unless you're like one of those guys who only places live. I've done it before and betting on a 90 minute match, several outcomes, like scores every 10 mins, next to score, next corner, next card, all those can be really exciting and accumulate a large wager if your initial bet's big like most sports betters anyway:) Of course, doesn't change that it takes longer in general.

Come back after one year and see how silly you feel after saying that. Or in fact even come back after 6 months if not earlier. Stablecoins are a class of their own, and are meant to be stable. Even fiat currencies see daily volatility, but crypto is known to be at the extremes.

You tell me how much DOGE was 6 months ago:)

Congratulations to Madrid, because whatever happens, they will have two teams from the city in first and second place.

Suarez, I hope you win it man, your goals and efforts are all up there in the halls of legends, and I still wish you'd stayed on with us, we'd have definitely won the league with your presence!
5347  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what do you guys use bitcoin for? on: May 16, 2021, 04:16:02 PM
I use it to anything that I could Payment,Sending money, Investment and trading.
As long as I could use it and avoid going out to stay safe then I would.

Sounds like all the things alt people say. Payment, sending money, investment etc. But most people actually only use it for trading (or more specifically, speculation).

Sending BTC to each other with Luno for example you didn't even need to ever operate a real Bitcoin wallet, much less sign transactions and choose inputs and fees!
5348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC down , does the altcoin will keep strong on: May 16, 2021, 02:36:20 PM
To be fair, any alts will dump when BTC take a hit. It doesn't matter if your project is good or not, when BTC is sinking, the rest of them follows. That's how market works in general, since most of them are paired with BTC. That being said, just like how ICO hype dies, I believe those shitcoins won't stay too long in the game. Maybe next year they'll be gone forever, but a new stupidity will rise in the next bull run.

Hopefully strong project regardless of the market (defi, NFT, etc) will be able to show its full value and won't be killed due to this crazy hype.

Not always, and especially less so now. Right before Elon's Tweets, particularly on his latest rounds, Bitcoin was already struggling for a while to break the 57k barrier, but ETH was steadily climbing and climbing to the point it was gaining 10% when BTC was losing 2/5%. And memecoins and defi coins were also not really following BTC around the same time.

Just using freebitco.in for the faucet is not really worth it (applies for all faucet sites). I do claim the the faucet from time to time but I use freebitco.in more for the betting, the yearly interest you can get, the WOF and the FUN tokens.

I don't know about that. It never seems worth it at the current time, but I think a lot of veterans will remember when faucets were giving 5 digit satoshi figures, or when DOGE was giving even 10 doge per claim.

And back in those days RPs could give you like 5x satoshi per RP. If you'd changed all those then, including the freeroll bonuses (at the time), they'd all be worth a lot more today.

4 satoshi today means nothing but imagine if BTC goes to 1 million;)

Funny thing is, Sevilla is not that far behind, they are only 2 points behind which means that if Barcelona loses there is a chance that Sevilla could get the third spot and Barcelona could be dropped to fourth spot and that seems like the most possible situation at this level. I am sure it is not really anything that people would expect a team like Barcelona to drop that further down but it is a possibility.

I know, people have been talking about them coming up slowly and you're right, mathematically they could even sneak up but for all three teams above them to lose? I think that's a reality that only the most diehard fan will consider. Still, if it happens, it will be the story of the season and will be probably the most famous season of the century;)
5351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: May 15, 2021, 05:15:48 PM
Personally counting out my own team (Barca) but of course like deep down inside, I hope both Madrid teams amazingly stumble and open the door a little for us.
It seems to me that of these three leaders, Barcelona was the one that stumbled the most. I really like this club, but this season I would like Atletico to become champions, because Semione deserves it, deserves to raise the winners' cup with Atletico above his head. I sincerely hope they can do it. Today there should be an easy game with Osasuna and lastly a very difficult game with Valladolid.

Yeah, even as a fan and supporter, I can agree here. We did have a really good streak though that let us catch up everywhere, I suppose that gave us some hope even though it then got murdered out proper after the Granada loss;)

I've said it before also I want Atletico to win this if NOT us, but some people think their style of play doesn't deserve it.
5352  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: IOTA, why no pump yet on: May 15, 2021, 03:38:35 PM
Maybe because IOTA was NOT the first coin of its type of blockchain (DAG)? At least from what I recall, it was a dagcoin but hard to keep track of all the developments and switch of protocol/consensus algorithm nowadays.

Iota was pretty cool for the time, maybe these alt alt altcoins will have a day in the far future?
5353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ BitcoinPRBuzz.com's ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: May 15, 2021, 03:06:54 PM
I'll think about joining Copa for sure, depending a bit on the entry price, and depending a lot on whether or not I see familiar faces, don't get me wrong I joined two other competitions quite recently and it wasn't as fun at all because the people didn't like to talk or discuss maybe a language thing (not on this forum). A lot of familiar faces from La Liga though:)

I guess I've to stand up and say this is completely new to me... I had no idea that there was more than one private key per address.

I always knew one private key = a lot of addresses. I didn't know someone could be using a different private key and still access the same address. I know this is very very unlikely but it still doesn't really come into my mind:)
5355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Your Bitcoin Wallet Be Hacked? How Can You Secure It? on: May 15, 2021, 08:09:11 AM
And you also can't talk about those things so you won't be a target because some people you may know sometimes are the suspect. Offline storage is the safest in my opinion but you have to be careful as to where you are going to hide the keys to access it. If you don't talk about how your passwords you use are the same for any, you won't have trouble that people will be able to piece it together but it is still safer if you use different password for different platforms.

There are other things that also make you a target, not just talking about it. Some people want to go around town showing off their Bitcoin mobile app like Roger Ver sending free BCH to everyone passing by. If people know you're using BTC and they know how high BTC is these days they can easily target you.

This isn't a hacking of your wallet, this is a bashing of you head in;)

How come we are talking about Modric speed anyway? He is not slow but he is not fast for sure, he is simply a player that makes all other players in the team better.

I called him "important for real tempo". Meaning he is setting the tempo of the attacks for the whole squad. Ball is always quicker then the player and he and Kroos have mastered that part perfectly with quick distributions to team mates.

Only because of his age now and how he might get too slow. He was never fast we all agree. But with age you lose even more speed (not on running but on reaction) and if the body cannot react as fast as his mind it will begin to show a lot for midfield creatives like him.

Agree about tempo. He is for me the Alonso replacement in Real, setting the tempo not just for his team but for the other team.
5357  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dogecoin will drop 90% more, better cash out to BTC now on: May 14, 2021, 06:22:53 PM
of course it will, the main reason why doge got pumped is elon and it only take one fud from elon and all the people holding it gonna go crazy and probably trigger massive selling, that's how weak this coin market is and considering the initial price of this coin alongside how much this coin generated each year -90% seem to be the most proper aftermath of this doge coin craze and if elon fails to applease public even once people gonna turn away from him and probably make him some coin of villain since what's what the masses do. just be really aware when dealing with meme coin, otherwise your pocket gonna run thin.

Well the entire crypto market crashed so traditional investors will point and say aha! I told you so! This Bitcoin market is so weak and is a scam.

Ignoring that the market has always been volatile and so effectively affected by such big personalities like Wlon.

He will get unpopular after a while like McAfee eventually became. Then we'll forget about him.
5358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to debunk the Bitcoin Energy Consumption drama on: May 14, 2021, 04:42:45 PM
Nobody talks about internet and app use these days consuming vast amounts of energies for... pure entertainment. Email, video, text and audio. I don't have stats but 90% of it is for pure entertainment that brings no value of anything at all.

But nobody complains, this is the Dystopia of humans being distracted by entertainment. And our dear Elon is part of that entertainment too:)
5359  Economy / Speculation / Re: May 13th, Bitcoin will surge to $70k or it will be dump? on: May 14, 2021, 04:06:44 PM
But probably his attack has some bad intention behind, to bring the market down so that he can enter and scoop cheap bitcoins, very clever Elon!!! So we are not going to $70k this day but ~$50k.

No I don't think Elon's an evil man so he has no bad intention. But he isn't a good man either. He just did this for pure profits, and for the feeling of knowing that his words have such a powerful effect on the entire crypto market.

He feels good about feeling powerful and about reminding others how powerful he is. That's not a bad intention, just selfish.
5360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: May 14, 2021, 12:59:13 PM
Thank you Manchester United and Liverpool, my bet was over 2.5 goals and it came after first half easily. Honestly I didn't expect 6 goals from this match but I'm glad they scored too many goals effortlessly. It was a bad day for goalkeepers though. I liked Jota's opening goal most, Firmino's performance was also quite good. I still don't understand how this team is only in 5th place in Premier League. Klopp's Liverpool deserve better.

Yeah, this isn't usually a type of game with a lot of goals but to be fair, at least 2 of the goals were from mistakes. That said, 4 goals even is a lot, so very very unusual United Liverpool type of game. I think anyone betting on overs would win last night, over 2.5 cards, over 9.5 corners, over 2.5 goals.

Only if you wanted to get a card for Liverpool you would have lost.

And table doesn't lie. Liverpool were terrible for most of the season.
