I think that today Leicester will beat Southampton, but I do not think that the match will be easy for them... Their last game against Southampton they won on home field with a minimum score...

It's really really hard to tell these days but Leicester do want to protect their CL spot I believe and they will go all out... while Saints probably feel they have nothing to fight for realistically.

I still think form is too tight to ignore a possible Saints upset though.

Usually taking an investment advice from others is not the best idea. Everyone also pursues their own interests with advice, which do not always have to correspond to your interests. That's why I would always do my own research. And there is no way to get rich quickly, but only over time. Most here didn't get rich overnight with crypto either, but by holding their Bitcoins and other crypto for years, even when times were bad for crypto. That's the core of success, not which coin do I need to invest in to achieve financial freedom tomorrow.

And yet people in this space just seem to love doing it (same as forex and other regular trading though so maybe not fair to just say it's cryptoheads doing it).

And then also, people think doing research makes them immune to losses (it doesn't).

The real lesson is that you have to do things on your own to OWN your profits AS WELL AS losses. Then you really gain the experience from it.

It just keeps demontrating how easy it is to store value in Bitcoin and how easy it is to liquidate the BTC at a good market rate. Can't just dump gold Smiley
When the bear market comes, The company that is here for the profits is the one that makes the bear market deep. They can easily add to the bull runs hype and add fuel to the bear who is dumping, I can say that they can do small manipulation in the market as they want. Though this can help the cryptocurrency community to grow by making the company an influence to gather new crypto users.

Even if that's true (profit taking companies making bear markets go deep) there's nothing wrong with that. Like I said, if people sell and sell a lot like it, it proves just how liquid BTC markets are. As opposed to gold where you even have to find a buyer and then arrange for safety and security etc.

If there's nothing wrong with big buyers, shouldn't be anything wrong with big dumpers:P
5504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk statement on his Bitcoin holding on: April 30, 2021, 08:16:20 AM
He is an expert, he know what he doing. I still believe that Elon Musk see something good about bitcoin. In my oppinion, use popularity to help increase the price of stock or cryptocurrency in order to gain profit isn't good behaviour. If he do that then he and his company image will become bad. I think he really interested to bitcoin and blockchain technology.

He is an expert in tech yes and building space tech etc but he is not an expert in Bitcoin and on wealth,,, I am so sure the decision came from his CFO or something similar in a financial position.

Even he admitted he got in late when surely he must have heard about it a long time ago and yet did not get in. So as an expert if he did not get in early, then he surely needs to be a better expert:)

I agree with you there.
Besides, as the news about tesla yesterday shows, corporations who do decide to hold an asset (this is all they see it as from the very start) do what is in the best interest of the stock holders of their companies and not what the markets are doing.
Even if they do, who cares.
They will sell it off on a whim when the price is right to do so,
At what their stock holders are wanting to do and dump it all at once if they want them too.

Exactly. All that companies do are for the interest of their profits, and most importantly, how to protect those profits. And the moment they decide it's Bitcoin is good news. And if they do sell it anyway, it's also good. It just keeps demontrating how easy it is to store value in Bitcoin and how easy it is to liquidate the BTC at a good market rate. Can't just dump gold Smiley

I don't really know a lot of these types of people but if I had to recommend one service to look at it would probably be Defi Pulse.

They've been doing a lot of research behind the scenes and their famous Total Value Locked chart is referenced by almost every known article you'll ever read on Defi, which is the biggest sector for altcoins these days.
5507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: April 29, 2021, 02:46:55 PM
I am not Manchester City fan but honestly in the current EPL era, clubs with a big money aren't only Manchester City. and I think if Aguero leave, it will not have a big impact for City because they have a good squad both subs and their starting eleven and it has been proven that until now City have been playing very consistently every week.

I totally agree. And my own club in La Liga also has big money BUT there is a difference when you look closer. City totally bought their team,,, it didn't work immediately, same as Chelsea. From never winning anything to now dominating almost everything.

Big money clubs like United did it also but they had a foundation of regular winning to then buy their superstars. Arsenal and Liverpool cannot compared their spends to City or United.

But see also the teams players. Aguero is a hero BUT he doesn't speak English after 10 years, and you don't see him feature in the local news or scenes with community and fans mostly like other City players. It's not like Rashford for United or Trent for Liverpool who are heroes for club and for the people.

I am not criticizing City or anything for this, but only saying that there are some things money can't buy outside the pitch:)
5508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEOs will see it ... sooner or later on: April 29, 2021, 02:06:03 PM
Yep. Its first Japan company that I know that put BTC in their balance sheet. It means that they had to have approval from Japanese counterpart of SEC or even Bank of Japan (bank of japan is the biggest stock owner in Japan (Bank of Japan becomes nation’s biggest stock owner) and significantly affects stock market prices giving liquidity and close to free money for all stock market companies).

This might be bigger news that I thought from the begging.

Exactly. Japan is super strict on these things and their own bad experience from crypto (Mt Gox) making Bitcoin a legal currency (I believe also the first in the world to do so as a national law) laid the path for this to happen. Whereas if Microstrategy would get heat from traditional players who will tell them they are irresponsible to gamble, in Japan this move will be respected and acknowledged to be innovative. That's Japan for you slow and quiet, but this will be really the big news people ignored:)
5509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How many scammers have you funded by putting your money in? on: April 29, 2021, 12:47:50 PM
Not with any project.

I have a weak heart and not into ICO before that's why I was so lucky that didn't invested and didn't scammed by them. But I missed a lot of opportunities.

Unlike those investors that have a strong risk taking attitude, they've invested to a lot of ICOs and made a lot of money from it. But just as op, there were a lot of scams before.

Then I say good for you. I also got burnt by ICOs as I stated in my earlier post, and I too missed a lot of opportunities which is what led me to go into ICOs in the first place. But all the research I put in and time wasted, I might as well have gone in randomly and maybe even hit a good altcoin.

Lesson is always that if you're not an expert and not too smart and don't have too much time. Invest in Bitcoin.

Lost money betting on a winner last night, should have gone for goal totals and BTTS which was what I originally planned for, but who can tell when these teams can suddenly go out and score 2 goals each right?

All eyes on Barca tonight. On a usual type of bet I go for Granada but how can I ever bet against my own team right?
5511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My warning for you all. Alt season will begin soon!!! ALT SEASON STARTED!!! on: April 29, 2021, 09:54:36 AM
I checked tradingview and it says Bitcoin dominance dropped to %50 now which clearly shows we are deep in altcoin season. Although we have time for further price increases in this market. Bitcoin will surely test its all time high in couple of days, maybe in 2 weeks at most. After that point we will see even more all time hits from many altcoins. It is still good to invest in altcoins, this is my opinion.

Yep it's been like this for the past week or so, but less so because of alt dominance, more so because price dropped over 20% for Bitcoin last week (recovered now but still about 15% away from the ATH).

This has happened before of course in 2018 and we all know what happened to alts after that;)

Why should Stake reward it's customers when there are maintenance? The maintenance is done to improve the long-term experience of the user. (reducing errors / improving security / reducing lag etc.)

Will your Bank give you a bonus into your Bank account when their systems are down for maintenance? It is inevitable that sites will go down, once in a while, so we should not demand something when that happens.  Roll Eyes

I find this same issue across all crypto gaming. Casinos in real life and services in real life charge you for everything. Maintenance (my bank charges me maintenance fee can you believe it). Fees just to keep an account when they should be paying US for our money.

But crypto casinos give faucets, loyalty rewards giveaways etc. And people complain here the most.

Every sportsbook I play at users come whining for "lost opportunity" during maintenance. So weird:)
5513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jose Mourinho Next Club? on: April 29, 2021, 07:56:15 AM
The big surprise for me is Wolves the favorite destination which doesn't make much sense to me. Yes, he is Portuguese and there is of course the undeniable Portuguese presence at Wolverhampton but seriously, how is he going to make the team fit into his tactics? Wolves play fast attacking football and if they have to switch to Mou tactics they don't have the players fitted to that style.
5514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: April 29, 2021, 07:25:57 AM
Wow you just can't rule out KDB. Even if he crosses it can become a goal;) Purely a game of two halves in the end but man I really thought Poch would get his team over the line at half time, didn't watch the game in second half as too late for me, seems I jinx myself even when not watching;)

Man City looked much stronger than PSG... I think that now we know exactly one of the finalists! Grin
I wouldn't want to see an English final, so I expect to see Real Madrid in the final... Chelsea is a good club, but I think Zidane deserves the final fight!

Me neither, it would be so boring. Remember when the last two met in EPL?

There are Muslims gambling during Ramadan and noone makes a fuss, why would anyone ever think gender makes it a problem?Wink

We're all cool and as long as you abide by the rules, we shouldn't care where you come from, which invisible guy you worship and which body parts you were born with.

Say your opinions on the game, talk strategy, and we'll all be fine!

The one thing they did to help keep the winning streak going for so long was to make very few rolls each day. Someone using auto-bet or a script would have made the same number of bets they did in 3 months in 1 day. The smaller the sample size the bigger the chance of variance occurring. That can obviously work against you as well.

Indeed. I haven't gone on long wagering streaks since last year but I definitely lost a lot more hitting the dreaded 20+ loss streak when playing millions of rolls on auto non-stop on several tabs... then I did playing a few thousand over days and weeks and months.

In fact, I recovered all of my past losses doing just that on one particular good run stretched over many months back when they were still doing 5/4/3 promos for Golden Tickets:)

When you say imitating, do you mean it's just fake engagement? Am interested in getting some small-scale Telegram engagement packages but don't want bots and the like. Prefer one or two real people reading up on the project and asking very good questions that can then be answered later on AMA. Would you be able to provide a sample?
5518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Forget about ETH Era, We are on BINANCE Era right now!!! Long Live BSC!!! on: April 28, 2021, 03:02:16 PM
I believe by now, ETH team has already seen the popularity of BSC in the market. I don't think they are sleeping on this development. Who knows, we will be surprised at the end of this month by some progress coming from ETH? I don't think ETH team will fail its supporters. This is why we can see that it can keep its price above 2k level despite the fact that they still have gas fee problem. The supporters have faith on them.
You are right ETH gave us a surprise at the end of the month, just look at the current gas prices are very low and unusual. Will ETH's glory return soon and the BSC hype will soon fade away?

Gas prices are low but I hope that's not so much because of a lack of demand and because defi people have all moved to Binance... even if so it shouldn't be a very permanent move once ETH 2.0 comes around the security and ease of use should convince people to come back to it.

BSC hype is still quite strong though don't be surprised if it stays around til 2022 and beyond.
5519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 28, 2021, 01:59:24 PM
I am Real Madrid fans and I know many time Madrid get draw and have little chance to get trophy, how ever if Madrid not success with trophy I hope Atletico Madrid can get the la liga trophy for this year, but I believe and optimist with Madrid chance because Barcelona still have match faced with Atletico Madrid, as Madrid fans hope this match can be draw.

Nah, don't be too concerned about it. Barca fan here and I know it's still a long road to the title for any of us 3. I see that we're all not on our best form, neither are we at our worst. Injuries and form at some point have affected us but football is round we say and anything can and WILL happen. You're still looking for a nice double and Zidane is a smart guy, probably the smartest of all our managers right now.

But like you, I don't mind Atletico winning it, they deserve where they are.
5520  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How many scammers have you funded by putting your money in? on: April 28, 2021, 01:16:17 PM
Two big scams I can remember myself. Others weren't so much scams as just bad buys (I bought tokens and they did end up being listed but they just never achieved anything great and they at least did develop some kind of product.

What hurt most was that the scams were actually the ones I put the most DYOR effort into. Reputations, etc, escrows, whatever. But when a centralized project wants to scam, they scam. Nothing can help you then.
