Ethereum devs should be given a pat on the shoulder because these guys just saved their project, because the competition which is projects like tron and bnb have shown that they can work well under pressure without having to affect the transaction fees and fees are super low.

Great comeback eth you were almost losing that second spot  Cool
5462  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you limit your gambling time? on: June 02, 2021, 08:58:51 PM
I never believed in giving yourself some timeout off gambling  not until  I had over 10 betslips all losing *favourite teams inclusive**,which was enough to tell me am over gambling because sport  betting such isn't common for me.

adding to OP
not only gambling but we should limit time to all really addictive behavior like gambling, videogames, cocaine... I mean... you know what I mean.

organizing schedules and being disciplined helps a lot
For video games and casino  it is possible to schedule your games but for sport betting its a little different but am sure something can be worked out.



5463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet on climbing challenges on: June 02, 2021, 05:19:37 PM
This is a nice sport to watch but going as far as betting on it...I don't think so!

First off I have not seen a bookie offer such a sport for betting  and secondly I don't think there is enough information about these athletes to help make an informed decision.

and tbh being a small sport I think there are high chances that the same guys will win every time because there isn't much competition.
5464  Bitcoin / Press / [2021-06-02] Standard Chartered Joins Crypto Rush, Days After HSBC Opts Out on: June 02, 2021, 05:11:35 PM
Standard Chartered Plc is setting up a joint venture to buy and sell virtual currencies such as Bitcoin -- days after its biggest rival HSBC Holdings Plc said it would swerve the crypto trading craze.

The London-headquartered bank said Wednesday its technology arm, SC Ventures, would establish a partnership with BC Technology Group Ltd., a Hong Kong-based investment company specializing in digital assets.

Alex Manson, head of SC Ventures, said he had a “strong conviction that digital assets are here to stay and will be adopted by the institutional market as a highly relevant asset class.”

The world is moving to a digital age at a very fast rate and extra precautions should be put in everything we do one.

An addition to that list should never to reuse the same password more than once, 2fa should be a must. I also know most of us love to hide our identity and to some length we use vpns but truth is some of these actually expose our identity if you must use a premium VPN.

I don't think Coutinho is a good player anymore.
Also, I don't think he can be a Premier League player, especially for Klopp playstyle.

Barca has a lot of problems and probably right now the bigger is griezmann with his 45m €/yearly salary.
I think the problem of buying players at their peak of their career is when you change their environment by taking them to a new club,worse off new league very few of them adapt, with an exception of players like Cristiano Ronaldo... the recipient club expects results to be replicated....but truth is new environments can either build or break a player and I fear Barca  broke Coutinho! I hope he finds his feet again where ever he ends up next season.
5467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What effect does a growing number of altcoins have on Bitcoin on: June 01, 2021, 07:04:14 PM
So what could be the long term effect of having more altcoins on the market, will they help build or break bitcoin?
None and if there's any, it'll be quite insignificant; In reality, it's the other way around if you check how the market reacts to BTCitcoin [look at the top 10 on CMC, almost similar behavior].
Top 10 you say,  well If i can make a comparison between ethereum and bitcoin I have noticed that when bitcoin is bearish, ethereum tends to be bullish and we have seen this happen  quite a number of times. 

I guess strong coins don't wait for the bitcoin wave, another perfect example out of the top is dogecoin which needs no introduction.

Whether it will affect or replace Bitcoin depends on the development of altcoins. Bitcoin quietly accumulated a large amount of computing power in the early stages of its development.
Are you talking about bitcoin mining, or rather the coin that takes up more computing power can dethrone btc?. But what happens to those coins that don't need the kind of mining that btc has...

Nice way to convince people to get on the crypto train. We just have to come to terms that the wheel  of time has turned and have to move with it,this is a digital age and people might not use crypto but are still digital when paying for stuff...could be leveraging NFC  technology and we need to embrace it.

Now that you mentioned I hardly move with cash on me unless I intend to have a meal away from home and intend to tip the person attending to me.

Aguero is officially joined Barcellona, now Messi will have one more reason to stay since they are close friends.



Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1399360653664608256
I see this move more of linking Messi to his fellow country man Aguero and possibly a way to keep Messi for longer at Barcelona other than him leaving, hope this dual works out.

Btw Does this move confirm another striker is scheduled to move to Manchester city because these guys are in desperate need for one,  maybe halaad is coming.
5471  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will dogecoin drop to $0.2 again? on: May 30, 2021, 09:38:38 PM
Of course!

Dogecoin has been in the market for a very long time and it hadn't broken the 50 cent barrier not until Elon stepped up his game and seeing the damage he called to btc with his corrosive tweets, it would just take one bad tweet from him  because he is always tweeting and doge will be in icu fighting for its survival but am hoping it doesn't get to this.


If a 0.2 happens then market is out to get some cheap doge and sky rocket up again.
5472  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do you get your news about Crypto? on: May 30, 2021, 09:31:28 PM
I think back then when the world wasn't taking crypto  serious my go to place for news was coindesk, cointelegraph, others  can't really recall them but I have them bookmarked and they are still reliable.

Now the game has changed the world wants to be in the know with what's happening in the world of crypto and everyone has a segment for crypto for the new sites I use alots  of sources,  like Bloomberg, the economist, CNBC and many more

I have 2 questions which I would like everyone to please answer and based on the answers can we can have a clear picture.

1- Would you gamble at a crypto-casino knowing it would ask you for KYC documents before withdrawal?
From my personal experience I honestly think gambling on a casino with no KYC still gets to this if casino wants to run a random or routine check or should they suspect a player is cheating the system and most of the times these KYC  requirements are usually embedded in their t&C which most of us hardly read....and this is why I say they are all the same no escaping KYC.

2-  Do you feel safe giving out your KYC to online crypto-casinos?
Of course not and I don't think they can assure players that our data is safe.
5474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Super Cup 2021 on: May 30, 2021, 08:31:59 PM
I won't be very optimistic about the competition because i did not see both teams winning their respective competitions,  am still in denial to be honest.

BTW how lucrative is this competition knowing that a few weeks  or is it months ago these guys wanted to form their own league to raise funds. So should we expect a well contested match coming from both teams?

Barcelona 'offer' Coutinho to Liverpool

Reports in Spain claimed Barcelona have offered Liverpool the opportunity to re-sign Philippe Coutinho.

Source https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-transfer-news-rumours-live-20705817

It wouldn't be a bad idea to see the lad play for the reds after seeing Liverpool struggle for most of the season despite having to finish strongly to secure 3rd spot.


In other news Ronaldo rumored to be going back to Manchester united well this is just one for the tabloids I don't see this happening.

5476  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 2 Simple Ways Crypto Whales Manipulate the Market on: May 30, 2021, 04:59:41 PM
Of all ways you have described I believe the price pumping manipulation is one of those strategies that has spoiled us the most!

Because every time this happens people don't see this move early enough and ride the wave late then the whales choose to mitigate there trades and all those still holding the buy trades get their accounts wiped out and once mitigation is over its back on the bullish trail.

Bitcoin Not User Friendly Yet


Hello everyone. For all of us who are very pro Bitcoin and other crypto.
We all look to the day that more people use it and accept it as daily use.

However we are far from that. One thing that I am finding is Bitcoin is still not user friendly enough.
Many people even who are young like 25 and under and even over 25 etc. Are not tech knowledge or financial educated enough to understand.
Bitcoin is known as internet money in layman's terms so if these  stats say 25 year olds and under don't know about bitcoin can I also say they don't know the internet...

So if there is no internet expect no knowledge about btc  either.

I am thinking that even the apps out there are still confusing for people to use.
Sure many people may own a mobile phone but many do not understand how they work.

Therefore many people do not understand Bitcoin and seems too complicated still.
I wouldn't blame them for not knowing a thing or two about Bitcoin ,remember bitcoins  introduction to the world isn't pretty, it's linked to criminal activities, drugs etc so people have just looked the other way otherwise they are protecting themselves too.
5478  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: May 30, 2021, 01:30:20 PM
Few weeks to the UCL finals, I believed and predicted that Mancity will win. But few minutes to the final when I saw the line up, it became obvious to me that Chelsea will take the day.
All I was seeing was city to win, how I wish I saw your prediction 👀

Tuchel came up with a strong midfield and a natural striker.
Mancity in the other hand came up with strong midfield without a natural striker. I was shocked Guardiola came up with his well mastered tactics by all.
For Manchester city the game  play pretty much relies  on its midfield so it was not surprising that he came up with that team

What I saw were tired players, for example de bruyne looked tired and many others but we can't keep defending players, the better side won .

It is therefore very important that when gambling, we should wait till the eleventh hour to know the formation of the club, form of the players, weather, mentality of the team for that day's match. I lost my money but I have learnt my lessons.
This sounds good but gambling is just unpredictable

Are you a whale trying to trigger some sort of panic selling  in the market to get cheap coins??

For starters what are you basing your prediction on, like you said this time it's different we have institutional investors and more players in the market, a drop in price will trigger more buys to push price higher and let's not forget there is a limited supply to go round so this will trigger demand.
5480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin last till infinity on: May 30, 2021, 08:48:34 AM
I think it can, because from my observation let's just say things look like no bitcoin no crypto... not that the crypto ecosystem can't survive without BTC  but its the relation and the history which puts bitcoin to be at the top and keep going. In simple  terms we are made to believe so.

I believe Bitcoin can't be banned or destroyed by the government because of its decentralized nature.
Govts can't ban btc agreed but With the current attack on miners that's one way of controlling bitcoin because  the government is responsible for the power generation which  can determine how we consumers use it. This government  control has been felt as can be seen by the dip in price as the government put pressure on miners.
