I doubt it. Manny has cemented his place in the boxing world as one of the strongest and a big veteran at that. Conor needs to consolidate his standing, and fighting a big match up like with Manny may do so, this requires him to win. Its a high risk high reward gamble imo, but its still a match up I wouldn't advise for Conor to take. Just from the high risk high reward factor, this makes it one of the lowest possible choices Conor could possibly take in his career, currently that is.
5442  Economy / Speculation / Re: Alternate Market Cycle Thesis on: January 17, 2020, 03:21:59 PM
Isn't it because it's well known that most would FOMO out of the halving? Let's be honest. Most, if not all traders whom enter the market because of the boom of 2017 have absolutely no Idea about how the market works. Now, they're pretty much just listening in to the halving, and see, they entered the market because of the result of the last halving. Now that the next one is coming, most of them would believe that the same would occur, since in the past halvings, they have shown similar results, just on different scales. They may have not entered the market as soon as they discovered BTC, but the enticement of possible profit should've pushed a few of them to enter it. Now, BTC has been pretty much on a roll since the start of the year, which is tbh, a part of the FOMO since you could already say this is the result of the halving FOMO.

Not surprised by it, especially since it seems like the decision was backed by the fact that they would become the "first". It's all for fame or being at the front end of the news IMO, which isn't really recommended. Not only that, but there's also the issue of BTC being really volatile, and most traders are, as you said, holding instead of letting it circle around the market, not that they are at fault though. BTC, as of the moment, seems like a great investment and holding it would bring them profits, so who would spend them nonchalantly right? The best bet with these BTC/Crypto implementations to the globe is wait when at least the supply is left to about 5-3%. That way, the price would've most likely consolidated already, and traders would have no more reason to hold BTC because the market has already accepted a general price for it.
5444  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin to Precious Metals Companies on: January 17, 2020, 09:35:42 AM
Thata a hard to crypto transaction though. Without anything similar to a contract, which is a hassle imo, makes such exchanges pretty hard to continue or manage at least. Did a bit of researching, vaultoro seems to be one exchange that handles gold. Idk about its legitimacy but based on a quick search of reviews about it, the site seems pretty legit.

Haven't used it so I can't offer any solid experience about it though. Sorry bout that.
5445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone here dream of achieving their financial goal in life through gambling? on: January 17, 2020, 06:09:05 AM
I think we all dream of it, but it would only stay as a dream imo. It's not really hard per se, but rather because of its dependency on luck, it really makes trying to become rich through gambling a very difficult thing to do. Trading coins/crypto is also a gamble tbh, one that is a bit more easier to win with, but on the other hand, it also makes losing money easier.

In the end, because of the difficulties of actually profiting off of gambling, it turned to an entertainment factor on my side.
5446  Other / Off-topic / Re: your internet costs and income on: January 16, 2020, 03:21:39 PM
It's a bother to do so tbh. The usage of the internet is literally widespread that you can use plenty of internet data traffic with $2 per day. Calculating the costs and presenting something similar to an accounting notebook for it and for your everyday profit through crypto is simply a waste of time. It isn't like the internet is some kind of rare commodity. It's literally everywhere. Places even have free internet access for you to get from. If you were mining, sure, things may be different, but as a trader, your job is to research, study, analyze. These don't take much internet traffic. It's not like you study 1TB worth of charts and the like.
5447  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Was it cruel to girls to pretend they should behave equal to men?? on: January 16, 2020, 09:15:23 AM
It isn't a matter of Sex/ gender anymore in your problem. Its a matter of family planning/family decision making. See, you can't exactly blame the decision to make men and women equal for the consequences of families, specifically as you say, women, being unable to accomodate to their children and community. A man can spend honestly as much time as a woman can with their family, and nothing would be particularly wrong with it right?

A woman can work, A man can take care of household matters. A man can work, A woman can become the family household matters. Now, if either of them are having problems with regards to their connection to their children, it's not the fault of their genders, but their fault as parents overall. Family planning. Simple answer.

Its all about experience para sa akin though. Takot? Di pag research? Di pag iinvest ng maayos? Lahat yan mas prefer ko na madaanan first and foremost. Mas madali kasi siya macounter sa future, and if maencounter ko man uli, mas madali maiwasan or pigilan. Pag kasi di mo naramdamam, unexpected situations could come, and well, napakadaling masira ng entire plan mo pag ganun. At least, habang ineexperience mo, maliit lang yung investment, pero pag unexpected na nangyari sayo and di mo alam gagawin, malaki yung mawawala sayo.
5449  Economy / Economics / Re: How Will the Third Block Reward Halving Affect Bitcoin? on: January 16, 2020, 07:50:15 AM
It was nicely written, and with it starting to clarify thàt the article only contains theories is quite nice. The idea of less supply means higher price is an idea I support cleàrly because that's how the market works, or at least most of them. A follow up repeat of the past records seem to be quite true, or at least, thats how the graphs of the past halvings have held on. Lessening supply and increasing demand simply means an increase of price after all.
5450  Economy / Economics / Re: The Cypherpunks and the road to Bitcoin on: January 15, 2020, 04:14:14 PM
Well, its the concept of how you would only trust yourselves. Privacy is kind of a imaginative thing. As selfish as we are, Privacy only applies to what we want to acknowledge it to what suits or fits us the best, with the common populace, Privacy is a good thing, and means that the government should not be able to track any kind of data that are of our own ownership. For the government, Privacy could go die for all they care, but not in a bad way, since they want to ensure the safety of everyone else. This really contradicts with some peoples view, which makes talks regarding privacy kind of difficult to bring up.
5451  Economy / Speculation / Re: Craig Wright's Court Battle - Bitcoin on: January 15, 2020, 02:45:21 PM
Coincidence, most likely. Craig has been known to create various claims that are really false. Still, he had an extension till Feb 1 to access 1.1M BTC and just recently, says that he obtained a key that contains BTC worth $9.6B or $8.6B (? Google had showed me different results). Especially with the inorganic rise of BSV, which possibly shows that CSW wants and is needed by the people, or at least, shown by those of his supporters. Look at how the few coins out there increased by a few percentages, and BSV rised by what? 350%? If that isn't manipulated, I don't know what is anymore.
5452  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Can Gain 100% In 2020 - Halving Not Priced In, Says Fundstrat on: January 15, 2020, 09:21:55 AM
The motive may be unknown,but the result is. Some news of 2019 directly involves a redirection of possible disadvantages of BTC to the world so that commoners or those people out of the loop would spread fear, letting the price of BTC go down. And now that they've gotten enough, it's time to push BTC price, especially since FOMO could easily be spread out to the globe, with the next halving occurring. Especially since this is the next halving after the one that caused the current ATH (most believe and/or say so anw).

The media could be said to be a source of good information which is also a bad one. The workforce is like that at times, the strong prey the weak, in this case, the weak would be the media.
5453  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When trading, never ignore the statoshi value of your coins on: January 15, 2020, 05:29:26 AM
That change would be almost natural since the price of satoshi changes just as much as any other coin you are currently trading. Decide wether you want to profit off of USD or BTC, then find a pairing that best suits you. This is the reason why pairings are always decided before trading, to ensure maximum efficiency and to make sure you wouldn't make any mistakes in trading. If you were to take into account other coins while trading a certain pairing, it'd be quite a mess tbh.
5454  Economy / Economics / Re: Do Not Blame Bitcoin, No Government Want To Make Its Citizen Millionaire on: January 15, 2020, 03:17:20 AM
Bitcoin was, currently anw, not meant for commercial use and as such only those with the financial capability could use them. Most of its usage is done because of the anonymity it provided to its users. Theres also the addition of it being volatile, which makes the implementation kind of useless, at that moment that is. Once price regulates after the supply has stopped increasing, BTC could then be used by all. At least, at some level anyway.

Dollars and currencies may be free to be printed, but that doesn't mean it should be. It isn't just simply print and its done. There are other issues to be concerned with like the current inflation of the market. Limitlessly printing money without concern is destroying the market inside, and if they did what you àctually wanted to do, the US dollar wouldn't have made it this far tbh.
5455  Economy / Speculation / Re: Any further forecast? on: January 14, 2020, 09:42:35 AM
There is a chance of the bear run being over, with how BTC broke the $8.5k level just recently, and the bulls trying to push through to $8.6k. But it stands only as a chance. There's still a possibility of it going back down, just like what happened a few days ago where BTC pulled down to $7.7k after a run to $8k for two days.
As it stands though, a lot are looking at the market positively because of the recent $8.5k run by BTC, which is probably why they are spreading the word of the bear market being over.
5456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth making cryptocurrency as an innovative source for extravagance brand on: January 14, 2020, 08:11:04 AM
Digital payments are being integrated around the globe for improved quality of life of users, but having crypto as the mode of payment may prove to be a bit more difficult. Most of the used coins out there ( the ones integrated to digital payments) are volatile coins so it is kind of difficult to implement as a type of payment. Even if we take into account luxury items, the same integral problem would still stay the same, so implementing it after a solution has been made is a lot better imo.

If there was a coin that could be accepted by the masses, and everyone could easily have access to it (globally), then accepting crypto as a mode of digital payment could be quite nice.
5457  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: The DEX exchange you can rely on on: January 14, 2020, 05:57:46 AM
Are you only looking to trade hitBTC? Or are you trading other coins as well? I'd support Forkdelta and Binance DEX, though as a wallet, they aren't really recommended. Even CEX's are frowned upon as wallets. Just buy a hard wallet or get a desktop wallet temporarily until you can afford a hard wallet. If your looking to trade ETH, there's IDEX and Parade as well. hitBTC also has an exchange themselves but they are a Centralized one sadly. I've also tried Bisq before and is kind of good enough to be used, not as a wallet mind you but as an exchange though.
5458  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Currency VS Forex on: January 13, 2020, 02:07:23 PM
Well yea I'd suppose most would consider Forex with its developed market and community, but as you said, traders are trading for the profit, and BTC provided it when it appeared, or at least, a few years after it did anyway. Still, you can freely trade within Forex and Crypto just that, it may take up more of your time and analysis may become a pain since your studying different markets altogether.
As for government fighting Forex, haven't heard of it before. Manipulation, yes I've heard of news about it in the passing, but directly head butting with the market? Nope.
5459  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC Futures Manipulation on: January 13, 2020, 12:49:23 PM
There isn't really anything illegal with it, since that's how BTC futures work, but manipulation like that isn't that easy to perform, even if you have a large number of funds at hand. If that kind of action was illegal, then they should just remove the feature altogether since it already defeats the purpose of it once they ban it like that. BTC price drops because supply is greater than demand, that's it. If people demanded more BTC, price naturally goes up. Even if whales suddenly dumped coins, demand would naturally eat it up and the price would naturally go back to its natural state, but it would probably take up a bit of time.
5460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling cashback services? on: January 13, 2020, 10:11:08 AM
I once tried a site with a cashback, but it pays it with spins instead of money instead. I don't remember much regarding the specifics but after exceeding a certain threshold of a bet, a free spin would be added to my account that I could use freely, though it's kinda weak compared to other ways of cashback since it doesn't really guarantee a "cashback" but more like a chance to get it instead.
I'd suggest real money cashback though, instead of other bonuses and the like. Much more appealing in the eyes as a gambler, since I can assure myself that before  I play, I can get back some immediately.
