5681  Economy / Economics / Re: Can demand from an isolated market like Argentina drive up the BTC/USD price? on: November 16, 2019, 11:57:34 AM
That was a pretty interesting event. To pick a scenario, assuming that what the events OP said could be the cause, i'd pick scenario 1  which results in an upward pressure. Simple reason is because it has already happened. People of Argentina have already held BTC when they bought it and saw it's possible effects on their cash, so if a second time may occur, even if it is in their local exchanges, it should still be able to affect the market positively.
Although because it's coming from their local markets, the increase may be lower than what was experienced the last time.

That title made me click this post lmao. Sadly, such scams and projects are already quite abundant and many use them to entice people. It's similar to how sites ask for your credit card information when they offer a 1 month free subscription.
Plus, i believe that they believe that players would start to be enticed after entering their site, so to them, lying about an offer just to make someone open up and learn about their site is fine.
5683  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin cannot be banned on: November 16, 2019, 04:54:41 AM
BTC has already entered the market and much supply has already been spread out to various people, so I'd suppose it's possibility of being banned is already at a minimal. Addressing the issues of volatility, it is volatile because supply is still being increased by miners, and in the past years, it has increased by a lot. Once more halvings pass, BTC release would be pushed into a minimal amount, which should make its volatility disappear, or at the very least, reduce it to minimal effects.

Plus, with how the demand of BTC is now, with it growing based on supply and demand, I doubt BTC would die off anytime.
5684  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Explain me like i'm 5: Market Liquidity on: November 15, 2019, 04:03:10 PM
Making a simple comparison, it is like how you can grab a Jenga block without disrupting the balance of literally everything else. Market liquidity in the definition is how you can or someone else, purchase or sell an asset without causing a disrupt or change in the asset's price. You can also take it as somehow similar to demand and supply where, if supply was quite limited but then all of a sudden, the supply suddenly skyrocketed, this could potentially ruin the market economy since supply has caught up to the demand in a quick pace.

One example I remembered was the glitch in TF2 (Team fortress 2) where crates give off the rarest type of virtual item in-game. This lead to skins that usually cost 6000$ to suddenly drop down to 10$ or something similar.

Its indeed misleading yet the word "free" doesnt reflect out on whats written on the article- only airdrop is valid one and the rest?
They do require specific amount for you to start up or to involve on.So basically its still a form of investment which isnt applicable for
all specially mining which we know its really an expensive one which majority cant able to afford on.Bounties? and airdrops? These are
almost good as dead nowadays.
Well, considering how to earn crypto normally, The process given by the OP could closely be called a type of "free". Besides, we all know there isn't really a 100% free way to earn crypto nowadays, and most likely, those said "free" methods are methods that are either a scam or require you to do something or invest something. In Airdrops/Bounties, you invest time to earn money. In Lending platforms and mining, you invest money, and maybe time as well sometimes. Either way, its either time or money you give out to earn money. It's just the efficiency that's the difference.
5686  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Super Effective Way to Help You Follow the Trend of Bitcoin on: November 15, 2019, 01:46:47 PM
Well yes. The recent trends of ups and downs of BTC are mainly caused by the upcoming halving this 2020 (Most likely reason). The recent drop from 9k to 8.5k was in a sense, normal, with how the market moves, but if it drops to 7k, I'd start guessing that people are panicking about something by then. It's really hard to get a sense of it now since it was a gradual loss and not a sudden dump.

Basic tips on the vid though, if you were the one who made it. Put your photo down at the bottom left/right or top left. Kinda weird it's in the middle, plus the random appearance of you telling us to like the vid like bro, seriously. Stop it.

Every asset is a 'trending' asset, not just Bitcoin. What makes Bitcoin kinda different is the repetitive nature of the cycles it goes through. No cycle is exactly the same as Bitcoin grows larger after each cycle, but the cycles do rhyme quite nicely in terms of general behavior.
The cycle doesn't repeat, but it somehow shows a similar amount of growth with each cycle available. It shows dump and pumps at times, but it still within the rhythm. The bubble of 2016 was kind of destroyed the rhythm, which is why it dumped down quite a bit after that, but I guess the market held on with it and managed to raise it to what it is today.
5687  Economy / Economics / Re: Paypal Drops Pornhub Support, Pornhub Is Now Exploring Cryptocurrency Options on: November 15, 2019, 01:15:26 PM

Is it interesting how in this world where feminism and raging against "the patriarchy" is often encouraged. None of that rage is ever directed at payment processors like paypal who engage in what might be described as sexist and oppressive practices against women? Female rage is typically directed at stereotypical "nice guys". Never at those who are doing the actual oppressing.

Oof. Very good point right there. Well, people are seriously biased against the sex industry and are considered to be dirty in their eyes, which is really kind of sad. Most likely made by their morals and the like where they are unconsciously judging others by their own standards, which is in a sense, a mistake.

Which coin would fit pornhub's business model the best?
Most of the top coins could fit the bill don't you think? Well, as long as it's pretty reputable, I suppose any coin would do. That or they could try creating their own coin, something like a Phcoin or something. Naturally, It's best if they adopt BTC since it is the top coin, but other top alt coins could work as well.
5688  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Halving Price Prediction $55,000 - $130,000 on: November 15, 2019, 06:41:26 AM
Well, most of us are probably expecting a similar progression or turn of events just as the past halvings, or at the very least, something similar. Observations could be seen that halvings occur, price goes up and down then suddenly pumps at an insane price. Its honestly quite hard to believe its possible for it to occur a 3rd time, but we all hope as such though.

Assuming that BTC popped off in the past halvings because of the supply being cut off in half, and then another half, we can assume that this halving is the midway, and the rest of the halvings after this year wouldn't impact BTC like what the last halvings did.

If we can say that the last 2 were pumps in price , the 3rd could be a pump or retain, while the rest after the third should be negligible rises or just price retain.

Why would you drop crypto to run off to stocks, when in the past, you dropped stocks to run to crypto? You'd be killing yourself at that point if you will ever do that. I'm not all entirely sure about how to read this announcement of Fed, but I'm more entitled to believing that they need to somehow let the people's attention back onto the stocks somehow while addressing problems they've had in the past. I'm not entirely sure of the situation of stocks, but that's how I see this recent announcement.
5690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling sports predictions on: November 14, 2019, 01:38:31 PM
Gambling sites would go bankrupt if they reversed the odds. In a sense, gambling sites also gamble, but they are also a banker. A team has low odds because the site believes they would win, and a team has high odds because the site believes they would lose. There's no such strategy or technique in winning. It's called gambling for a reason, where any type of skill is thrown away in the garbage can and you just pretty much let luck win upon you.
5691  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Telegram ID and how you can use it to fight scams on: November 14, 2019, 10:06:39 AM
Mas okay sana kung hindi tinago ng telegram yung ID ng bawat user kasi hindi yun basta-basta nadadaya, at least sana may option sa settings na pwede mo i-show sa profile yung telegram ID mo lalo na sa mga admin ng isang telegram group para mas madali makita ng mga members mo at malaman agad nila kapag peke or totoong admin yung kausap nila ng hindi na dumadaan pa sa @userinfobot kasi yung hindi din maiiwasan na may ibang tao na hindi ganun ka-techie.
Yun lang mahirap sa telegram eh. Tinatago yung User ID eh yun lang yung pwedeng choice natin para maverify if legit or not. Though kahit maopen siya, medyo mahihirapan pa rin yung mga di techie since, ID yan eh, wala namang verification na magsasabing tama yung ID na to sa kausap mo kasi, di mo naman kabisado ID nung kausap mo dapat na legit diba? Pero yung pagdating sa groups, syempre mas madali yun. Gawa lang ng list sila admin, and verify everytime na may magaask.

Pero seriously, Long story short para di mascam sa telegram. Wag mong ibigay yung mnemonic phrases mo, account details mo(Yung private information if ever), or yung username and password mo. Kahit kausapin ka pa ng nagkukungwari na admin diyan, as long as di mo ibibigay yung gantong details, di ka masscam diba?

5694  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitgoin is going to moon 1.5.2021 it will hit 236K on: November 14, 2019, 06:42:50 AM
Jesus Christ, OP, what are you smoking? 

Bitcoin will probably end this year at around $9k or perhaps right where it is now, which is $8700.  I don't expect much movement between now and Dec. 31st.  Next year I'm hoping trading on Bakkt heats up and that bitcoin starts up another bull run, but hopefully not as irrational and crazy as was the case in 2017.

This. I honestly don't see any reason why BTC would even reach 20k this year. Like OP, 20k was reached by BTC when it became a bubble last halving. You can say that we are approaching it but that doesn't mean we would be able to reach it this end of the year. Only 1 1/2 month left for the year and you expect a 12k pump in that time frame? Get some help mate.

I honestly expect a 10k with my optimism by the end of the year, and if ever, just ever, the same series of events happen just like what happened in BTC of the past, I suppose BTC would drop down a few months after the halving, but by the end of the year, it should be able to pump up, but hopefully doesn't result in a bubble.
5695  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance Plans To Onboard 180 Fiat Currencies on: November 13, 2019, 03:03:14 PM
If I understood this correctly, Binance os going to integrate more fiat currencies as possible mediums to exchange cryptos? It's a pretty good idea and Binance seems like it's looking at dominating the world market with this move of theirs, but they honestly have a lot to process with this so that everything could be balanced.

Its a positive thing for crypto, but it's really quite diffucult to implement imo.
5696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: House edge in poker-like games on: November 13, 2019, 10:47:57 AM
Aren't house edges more observed in Gambling games where a set algorithm is given to a game? Like its not player vs player, nor is it player vs AI, but rather "is player lucky or not?". Poker is kind of like a combination of player vs player and "is player lucky or not" since it's a pvp type of thing.

I guess House Edges could be defined as a fee that is given to the casino due to you playing again and again with an unfair game where the odds are literally the lowest, no matter what, while Poker fee is a fee that is given to the casino due to playing again and again with a game where the odds aren't the lowest, but it could be the lowest.

Poker tables are more like the setting itself, and only that. Unlike poker games with house edges which provide both the setting and the game instead.
5697  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of Bitcoin rise by the end of this year on current time? on: November 13, 2019, 07:51:54 AM
We dont have time machine to know the future price of bitcoin. Every predictions has no concrete basis and some experts/websites are just speculating base on their analysis and understanding about the market.
The truth has been spoken. People often forget at times what "prediction" even means. Reality check, predictions could be true or false. None can make sure something would happen and Yes, famous personalities predictions doesn't guarantee it happening.

OP, just trust yourself. Don't bother asking for opinions of others nor trusting any prediction sites. Or you could compile a list of predictions of others and go for the majority if your really lazy to do your own.
5698  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Bitcoin: Chess Masters vs. Surfers on: November 13, 2019, 01:45:16 AM
Chess Masters. I'm more rigid and follow rules strictly. I really have a difficult time trying to follow my feelings sometimes cause I believe it is quite inefficient? Sure, at times, it may give proper response and potential returns, but in the end, a rigid structure may be hard to follow, but can bring returns most of the time.

I can't categorised myself, but I will be more willing to lean on the surfers side. I mean I'm not that analytical guy and I don't have an army of bots in my side.

So I just ride the waves, but I don't used my instinct that much as well. Or for the majority of traders, I think they could be just a hybrid of the two,  Smiley.
You're probably more of a hybrid. By the end of the day, a trader would somehow one way or another analyze things based on his own way or style. Someone who trades solely based on his feelings can be said to be someone extremely lucky, or extremely crazy.
5699  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Pros and cons of your exchange on: November 12, 2019, 03:08:36 PM
I use Binance and some of the local BTC exchanges in my country. It's just a sad thing about KYC at times since I absolutely hate it. I expect to apply for KYC in Binance sometime sooner since I plan to trade a bit more with BTC, and a nonverified KYC account may not be enough. I do love that Binance had the option to let users experience anonymity even with the limit though. There are also various options with trading but I'm already fairly satisfied with what Binance offers most of the time.
5700  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there any Impact of AI technology in Trading? on: November 12, 2019, 02:27:28 PM
It's a lot easier and less hassle for the trader when using AI's but it doesn't really provide the necessary advantage or profit that they are looking for or that a trader could get. Professors in the past often told me, Computers are stupid. They can only read 1's and 0's and not gonna lie, it looks quite fitting when using AI's. They are unable to perform tasks a normal human could, and more useful in terms of canned transactions.
For those whom don't know what canned transactions are, it's pretty much just a repetitive process often used in a transaction like, the printing of a schedule for college students, the printing of report cards, those can be called canned transactions.
