5401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Gang uses crypto for illegal purposes on: November 17, 2020, 10:48:53 PM
I know someone that is working in China for 12 years now who told me that there is a lot of illegal gambling happening in China. He's working in this store and usually, people talk at that store about these illegal gamblings. If this is the case, I agree that they should just let it be legal but as far as I know, they are in the religion of Buddhism so I think it is related to that?

As China policy and laws they do not adhere to religious teaching, they are not banning gambling because of Buddhism they are banning it because their parties created a law for their citizen since the communist party cane into power in 1949, it's surprising that although they ban gambling in mainland China they have a state own gambling casinos in Macau and Chinese citizens have a lot of underground gambling sites.

I agree that there are a lot of money to be made by the government of China, but do they need it since they have already making huge money from commerce, remember they are already a superpower.

There is so much talk about ripple taking over bitcoin and being 10$ what are your thoughts on this?

Who's talking? the bag holders the Ripple whales, or the development team, trying to hype their coin which is sliding in it's position, I will not be surprised if Ripple is nowhere to be found in the top 5, they are on the number 4 spot and will soon be overtaken by new coin Polkadot or Binance coin, that will end your dream of Ripple becoming the next Bitcoin in the market.

Do check Bitcoin dominance BTC 64.0% how will Ripple going to surpass Bitcoin with that stat.
5403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: THE MOST PAINFUL DAY IN MY BETTING CAREER on: November 16, 2020, 07:04:42 AM
...It was a 5k bet. . That was how my hope of winning 260k bet was dashed. I can never forget that very day in hurry, Sunday 10 Nov.2013
 

It was not mean to be, this things actually happen to many gamblers, I have a read a news about a first prize lottery winner but unfortunately he did not cash it out because the winning ticket was destroyed when it got wet,

he put in his pocket in his polo and it happen to rain when got out from his office and he is all wet, he just realized that he won because he has a written copy of the ticket he made a bet, but the ticket is unrecognized because it's all wet.

The bettor have made up his mind that it's not meant to be, he has moved so should you, there are a lot of important things in life, not just money.

Compared 7 years ago we are better companies and individuals can easily create tokens or coins with the introduction of the smart contract, the market is better no win terms of volumes and new coins and tokens with good potential in the market, there are a lot of new coins or tokens in the market and they offer innovations, we are better than years ago and the technology keeps on evolving, moving forward.
Those who made negative impressions on us are now wanting to be part of us, like PayPal and Facebook and many others.
5405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers lose more money than win. on: November 16, 2020, 03:21:52 AM
It's a fact that we cannot go against, the government allow this because they are getting taxes here and gambling casinos have a huge cost to operate, but it's not like we are giving our money for free, of course we have a change to get our money or even win, there are times that gambler beat the house edge the most important thing is we only gamble what we can afford to lose.

It's still a win win situation for all those involve in the industry, the operators, the government and the player this is one of the reason why online and physical gambling is thriving.
5406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire - December 12 on: November 16, 2020, 12:16:48 AM
With regards to experience, Donaire has the advantage but I see that they both loss to Naoya Inoue. I can see that the odds will surely  to favor to Nonito Donaire as Emmanuel has been KO by Naoya but Naoya was unable to KO Donaire.



Donaire has a huge advantage if we take that analysis, Rodriguez is a hard nut to crack he was floored several times before the referee stop the fight and he don't look groggy it's just the body punches that send him in the canvass, Rodriguez is a slugger, Donaire should finish the fight early because this is a young fighter who can take a 12 round fights, Donaire losses steam in his last fight against Inoue, he should not let thing happens.
5407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The last time we saw 16K on Bitcoin price on: November 15, 2020, 01:47:55 PM
This is the reason why Bitcoin is the most desirable asset to buy in the market

Dominance: BTC 63.7% ETH 11.1% USDT 3.84%

All of us here have Bitcoin as their primary portfolio this is the most secured investment in the market, all the other are just pump and dump coin, yes there are coins with a good platform, but enough to get into the top, and some of these platforms are just imitation of existing platforms
5408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Online Casinos on: November 15, 2020, 12:24:31 PM
I noticed that in 2020 more and more new crypto online casinos have sprung up, and they spend quite a lot of promotional costs
by opening gambling campaigns in the service section with Bitcoin payment. I recommend 777coin and Bitvest which are trusted
and have a good reputation.

Yes, there seems to be a migration of fiat gamblers to Cryptocurrency gambling sites, almost every week we see a new campaign on a new gambling site, and there are new gambling site that does not launch a campaign but had an announcement here,
The signature campaign is good for the forum as it encourages activity and good discussion, it's a win-win situation for all those involves in, the project, the forum, and the participants.
5409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Kell Brook vs Terence Crawford November 14 on: November 15, 2020, 08:21:49 AM


Should be Crawford vs Spence next, or at least Crawford vs other bigger name in the 147 lbs at least.

This fight should happen all the other big names in the welterweight I'm sorry to include Pacquiao my idol is just supporting, Crawford and Spence are two big stars here, but I don't think their respective promoters will sit down and talk about the match.
The pandemic should be over before they sit down to fight, because there are big money to be made in a gate receipt and their promoters would like to take that opportunity.

There's goes Trump legacy he cannot accept defeat, well for an arrogant man who is the first incumbent president not to get elected for 30 years, he should be angry on this achievement  Cheesy but all he and his party says are all nonsense because they cannot present a valid or strong proof that there is rigging of poll, he is actually the one rigging the election.
5411  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Will PayPal be a new crypto-exchange? on: November 15, 2020, 04:10:39 AM
Since PayPal just announced that crypto trading and payment services went live in the US, do you think PayPal may turn into a big competitor to existing cryptoexchages? They can also launch a crypto-currency trading desk as well, why not.

Why not, they have the money they have the market, they have millions of clients, what would stop them, I have this believe that they are doing a big shift from embracing Cryptocurrency to the fullest and setting up an exchange is not a remote possibility, they do have the resources to make this happen, Paypal entry to the Cryptocurrency by adding it in their platform is just the start and I don't think they will stop there, the technology is young and there are so many things to explore.
5412  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: A Word of Advice about Paypal & Crypto on: November 15, 2020, 01:18:28 AM
I think everybody heard that Paypal is going to add crypto into its wallets/services.

A word of advice:
If you are NOT a fully legal US or European citizen, your Paypal fiat and crypto funds are ALWAYS at risk. Paypal is famous about blocking fiat accounts and that paranoia will be ten times higher with crypto. Never have a lot of money in your Paypal accounts, both fiat and crypto. Use Paypal when you only really need to.

Remember the Crypto Mantra:
NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COINS !

Keep your money to yourself, be your own bank as it was originally established by Satoshi.

I will also recommending this, users are bound by terms of condition of PayPal and we have seen so many complaints of People who are verified and long time users of PayPal getting their account limited because of questionable transactions, do you know that you can get your account limited or flagged if some one with questionable transaction send you fund without even you acknowledging it,PayPal is only for online transactions when it comes to storing your coins you should be the one holding your private keys.
5413  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin prediction 2020 on: November 14, 2020, 11:18:19 PM
I really agree that by the end of this year bitcoin will reach its highest price and it all seems clear that bitcoin at this time of the pandemic is an investment that has many benefits for many people in various countries. and also make bitcoin more familiar to many people, of course.
Yes it will reach it's highest price this year but not breaking the all time high, my modest prediction is it will at least reach $18 k, already we are in a good pace we are reaching a lot of milestone now I wish there will be news like the PayPal news that will move the price even higher, i do not expect an all time high this time, although I welcome it, we'll have another one second quarter of 2021.
5414  Economy / Speculation / Re: My 'vast' BTC hodl on PayPal on: November 14, 2020, 12:31:48 AM


They aren't bringing Bitcoin services to countries outside of the US, or to Venmo customers, until 2021.

I'm a US resident (not a citizen) and I've had a Paypal account for a while. My dashboard previously said "Join the waitlist." Now it says "Curious about crypto? Buy Bitcoin and more."

I clicked through and had to accept some terms about the risks and volatility and lack of regulation, but it looks like they're letting me buy without any further verification. I've only ever verified my email address and bank account with Paypal, never sent in any documents, so that's pretty sweet. That's a real advantage over Coinbase if you think about it.

I have not used my Paypal also for the last three years and not in a country where Cryptocurrency features are accessible I stopped using Paypal when I shift to Cryptocurrency but out of curiosity I would like to see that feature when my location is finally accepted and will cross the bridge when I get there if I am going to buy and sell Cryptocurrency in their dashboard because what they are offering is very much different from what I've known from other exchanges.
5415  Economy / Speculation / Re: sold mine at 14100 dammitttt on: November 13, 2020, 11:30:46 PM


omg I am stupid and  I deserve to be smacked hard I be losing a lot if I buy it back now would you do it brother Sad((


You are not alone on this one, in fact, many of us here experienced that one way or another, it is always recommended not to sell all that you've got and only sell a small portion or percentage because you never know the next things that are going in the market, we look and act like an idiot because of the volatility and uncertainty of the market, that is why the word HODL works like a charm.
5416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New projects can still deliver on: November 13, 2020, 05:01:37 PM
Out of many new projects there will always be rare gems amongst the crap ones, many said we've seen enough new projects so they should stop production, well thanks to nonstop new project productions we have this coins today and few make it to top 30

1. ChainLink   #5 on coinmarketcap
2. Polkadot.    # 8 on coinmarketcap
3. Uniswap           # 31 on coinmarketcap
4. Aave.             #29 on coinmarketcap
5. Synthetix.      #38 on coinmarketcap

Still thinks that new projects have nothing new to offer? Think again

I still have high hopes on new project, in fact I have Uniswap in my wallet here hoping that it will go to the moon, there are still many projects coming in, because the technology is very young and the community is still young the market is still open for new concept, new features, we should welcome them here as long as they have a good developers and the platform are contributing to the growth of the community.
5417  Economy / Speculation / Re: Any relation between market dump and Biden's win? on: November 13, 2020, 03:40:11 PM
Do you see that guys, the price of cryptocurrencies are in red since Joe Biden crosses the required number of place to become president?

Almost every crypto is in red at the hourly candle and what's your opinion with the dump caused especially after such news?

Everything is green now, now that Biden was officially declared the winner although Trump is not conceding, I don't see anything that connect why Biden has something to with Cryptocurrency dipping, or why it is now going up, the election has nothing to do with the market, it's the business sectors and the motivation of the whales and the Crypto community that has an impact.
5418  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC $100K-288K before Dec2021 ? on: November 13, 2020, 11:25:03 AM
There's no such thing as accurate prediction when it comes to predicting the price of Bitcoin in a market at a given date or even year, only newbies will believe this even those who started out in Bitcoin cannot accurately predict the right price at a given date, even if you are good in reading chart or data, you can predict some period but you cannot go fast 50% of your prediction accurately, it's time for people to get the fact.
5419  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Paypal opening up app crypto users on: November 13, 2020, 06:50:48 AM
PayPal said Thursday that it is opening up its nascent cryptocurrency services to all eligible U.S. users.

"We are pleased to announce that all eligible PayPal accountholders in the U.S. can now buy, hold and sell cryptocurrency directly with PayPal," the firm said in a statement.

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/linked/84398/paypal-opening-up-app-crypto-users

I'm not planning to buy and sell Bitcoin using Paypal because we already have exchanges doing this in our country, but I'm interested to see my own PayPal dashboard with Cryptocurrency features on it, I'm not from the US but there are active PayPal users here in our country this is a good step to introduce to unbelievers here in our country, if they Cryptocurrency in their dashboard they will treat it as a legal online currency.
5420  Economy / Economics / Re: Biden and Cryoto on: November 13, 2020, 05:26:38 AM
How do we speculate if bitcoin and crypto shall prosper under the Biden administration than it does under Trump administration.

What are your views?

It will the same as long as Biden is not taking anything against Bitcoin we are ok even if we don't have support coming from the Biden administration, but it will always an advantage if we have leaders supporting the cause of Cryptocurrency, because leaders always have a say on the policy of the country, I'd like to see in the future Biden openly supporting Bitcoin, it will make a big pump it this happen.
