I think Hhampuz has given enough time to everyone to submit their videos and no more extension should be given.

@Hhampuz can you please analyze the videos and let us know who qualified for the rewards. Thanks

Chill guys, I think due to lacking submissions Hhampuz open this thread so the other member can participate too and join this event however, you still have a chance to submit your 2 videos.
Attendance was low agreed, but campaign has been extended twice which should have been enough time to whoever wanted to join...btw this should be the ninth week of running so you still want more time...IDK

One thing is certain Hhampuz   has always delivered, lets hung in there.

a lot of good news coming in wavesplatform
in the last few days, waves price growing hardly, even rise more than 100% my friend

is this a sign if waves will be the next ethereum ?


What happened to this project, 2-3 years later we hadly hear anything from these guys, I remember using waves some time back but today things don't look like the are challenging eth for the next smart contract coin.

I bet a bit of aggressive marketing can revive this project to its full potential, the devs need to understand these projects are built for us users not to be shelved.

As much as I know, tether started off the project in a shady manner but I careless about that its my coins am more concerned about, for example if I acquire some coins say a $20 on my wallet, as long as my 20 dollars remains 20 dollars at any given day or time I trust it! You just have to love these stable coins Smiley

Though the blockchain it was built on really hurts it with the high transaction fees.

According to the news 9 out of the 12 teams who joined the ESL have withdrawn from the league leaving only Barcelona, Juventus, and Real Madrid still part of the team.
if the Juventus chairman Mr Andrea Agnelli said the European Super League wasnt going to happen that means Juventus is out too meaning Barca and Real Madrid are all what are left...lets call this El clasico Super league Tongue !!

I'm guessing that they realized with all the negative press they are getting as well as their own fans being angry about it they won't be gaining any kind of revenue if nobody will be watching and supporting their games. Since from the start they have a lose-lose situation here without any kind of notice and a totally opposite direction from the football we love this is something that these clubs can't be handling.
You have to give these guys some credit, they really tried because looking at those debt numbers you really have to go out of your way to find the means to pay back.

5746  Bitcoin / Press / [2021-04-21] Governments can stop Bitcoin by shutting down mining, says Electric on: April 21, 2021, 09:58:37 PM
Governments can stop Bitcoin by shutting down mining, says Electric Capital exec
"If the U.S. stopped all the U.S. miners, Kazakstan stopped all the miners there — that kind of shuts down 80% to 90% of the hash rate pretty quickly," said Curtis Spencer.

Electric Capital co-founder and partner Curtis Spencer implied that the Bitcoin network may owe its continued existence to the grace of world governments.

In a panel at the Collision web summit on Tuesday, Spencer said lawmakers are the ones giving Bitcoin (BTC) a chance to grow by not imposing harsher restrictions on mining operations in their respective countries. The Electric Capital executive was speaking on the state of investing in cryptocurrency in 2021, alongside Michael Jordan of Galaxy Digital, Kartik Talwar of A Capital, Ash Egan of Accomplice, Tara Tan of IDEO CoLab Ventures and moderator Min Teo of Consensys.

“Could Bitcoin really be stopped by government?” asked Spencer. “I actually think maybe it could be. If you think about the cost of attacking the network, it’s not something that nation-states couldn’t do.”

He added:

Quote
“Look at what happened in Xinjiang. You could shut down the Bitcoin mining network actually pretty quickly, especially if the U.S. stopped all the U.S. miners, Kazakstan stopped all the miners there — that kind of shuts down 80% to 90% of the hash rate pretty quickly. I think the fact that [Bitcoin is] still here means governments are supportive.”

Spencer was referring to recent events in the Xinjiang region of China, which represents roughly 25% of Bitcoin’s global hash rate. Crypto market analyst Willy Woo claimed that BTC’s crash to the $50,000s over the weekend was a result of a power outage in the area, subsequently dropping the hash rate from 172 terahashes per second to 154 million TH/s.

The power outages were reportedly initiated to facilitate safety inspections in the region, implying that there’s seemingly nothing stopping the Chinese government from intentionally dropping the hash rate. Though fellow panelist Jordan argued that lawmakers were starting to shift their positions on crypto, he was seemingly referring to authorities not trying to shut down the network on the internet rather than attacking miners.

“You hear regulators speaking with a newly sophisticated term, which is that ‘You can’t ban Bitcoin,’” said Jordan. “You can basically cut yourself out of innovation and participation and economic growth that these systems precipitate for other citizens, but you can’t actually ban it.”

At the moment, the regulatory environment in the United States seems to be favoring crypto miners rather than pulling the plug on them — though some farms in Texas did have to restrict operations during a massive winter storm this year. Kentucky lawmakers also recently passed two bills that would give tax breaks to crypto miners in an effort to attract new firms to the state.

5748  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Feedback Request: Would you buy a coin that can go only up? on: April 21, 2021, 07:02:42 PM
No I wouldn't because this is not possible!

With my little knowledge on smart money or general trading, price expands and contracts like an elastic, so there is an extent price can expand going upwards before contracting to find momentum which comes from traders selling to fill those buy orders.

Also the laws of supply and demand would be violated because price can never be constantly going up when demand and supply will always change.

From that term, there's only one classification that we can see from that and that's likely a scam.
Right on the money, scam!
5749  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: At $7.5 Dogecoin will be more valuable than BTC on: April 21, 2021, 02:48:23 PM
How does this happen, doge goes to $7.5 and bitcoin goes on holiday and remains at $55K with no move whatsoever Tongue??

I don't think so, remember most of the altcoins ride the wave of bitcoin so chances are if Doge goes to $7.5 which is a growth rate of ~2000% then bitcoin give or take might go up not less than 1000%....felt lazy to do the math after seeing the thousand percentage growth this is fairy tale land now,good luck keep hodling.

BREAKING NEWS

European Super League Is Officially Suspended

All the six (6) English clubs have left the proposed European Super League just few hours after the protest in London and the all English club captain emergency meeting organised by Liverpool skipper Henderson yesterday to save football from been ruined. The ESL is on hold for now till further notice.
While the European Super League is on suspension the other teams from the premier league want to see the rebel six punished for failing to follow the PL playbook, which is fair game!

BTW a lot of damage has been done all in a space of one week ,its only fair to punish them were it hurts( their bank accounts) via fines.

Senior club official says Premier League Rule L9 - which says any member Premier League club needs prior written approval by the Board to enter a new competition - has "patently been broken" by the rebel six; another club executive says deductions or fines would hurt the wrong people

Strange things happening in the world of football:

-Jose sacked over ESL

-Chelsea fans protesting

-Barcelona rumored to have pulled out

-Ed Woodward has stepped down as executive vice chairman of Manchester United

5753  Economy / Trading Discussion / Does that mean trading is more popular than social media now? on: April 20, 2021, 04:51:51 PM
Two trading apps have risen to the top of Apple's App Store in recent days. Robinhood holds the number one position, with Coinbase in second, at the time of publication on Friday. In third: popular social media platform TikTok. YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat hold the fourth, fifth and sixth positions, respectively.

One possible conclusion is that folks are now more interested in swapping crypto and financial assets than they are in interacting on various social media platforms

https://cointelegraph.com/news/trading-apps-usurp-tiktok-in-popularity


Clearly crypto is off with a flying start, and topping the charts will prompt others to check what these apps are all about, meaning sooner or later more people will be jumping on this boat!

5755  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Could DOGE could reach 1$...? on: April 20, 2021, 02:37:43 PM
While bitcoin and other altcoins were showing signs of being bearish, doge did the opposite to show some green which is a good sign.

Besides that doge seems to have some big players on its side, the likes of Elon Musk who almost on a daily basis goes on preaching about Doge, I guess there is a chance for it to hit $1, almost closing in on 50 cents but that total supply means it could take a long time to reach target price and many doge crypto hodlers will cashin.
5756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: April 20, 2021, 01:29:59 PM
This whole European super League is utter crap of the worst sort!
They will end up playing in their golden league while the rest of the world will keep on playing for peanuts. This is basically the same as cornering the market or maintaining a huge monopoly over the only revenue streams that give blood to football teams.
This is all very sad.
Everything is crap about this league, starting from the critea teams are picked to play in this so called super league.

 You can't have a few teams given golden tickets to play in it and the rest are left out to scramble for the remaining slots....total BS! This also looks like a parallel UEFA champions league which is to side line other participating clubs as there are fewer seats to play for.

Is this a bail out package for the teams participating? To many answered questions sounding this hope these guys feel the displeasure coming from their fans!

Firstly, Alot of reading has to be done then you also have to spend more time on the forum as there is always something new to learn from here.

If you like you can make use of YouTube where people have tried to explain what's there to know in the world of crypto, your  other option is to take a crypto course from platforms like bitdegree, udemy, coursera and many more.
5758  Economy / Economics / Re: Why you can't be rich by owning crypto on: April 20, 2021, 08:23:43 AM
The value of Bitcoin have increased by 707% over the last year,  and the average deflation is 96%

As the value of Bitcoin increases, it's owners would have a reduced incentive to do their job, and they would retire at a younger age(since they would have enough money to live the rest of their life). This would decrease the global productivity
If someone was not skilled in anything and gave bitcoin a chance by investing a few dollars in it how would it reduce or increase productivity?

Not forgetting the high unemployment levels growing everywhere....you know what bitcoin is doing these guys a favor...and by the way when you cash in those coins you have other opportunities to try out and not that you lay low and do nothing!!!

Quote
even if the demand remains same(or even increase due to increased wealth). This would in turn increase the price of all commodities almost at the same rate as that of Bitcoin(law of supply and demand)
Are you saying everyone will become rich for prices to rise? And how do you connect prices of commodities to bitcoins supply and demand,you lost him here.

So even if your rich, and your net worth is increasing with increase in the price of Bitcoin, after everyone have adopted Bitcoins globally, even your richness wouldn't be that much rich, since the value of the things that can be brought with those bitcoins would actually grow the same rate as the bitcoin(due to decreasing productivity)
So not true, bitcoins supply is limited which means not everyone will own the same amount of coins, and afaik the real winners in all this are the early adopters who still hodl some crypto, so even if 1btc was to be a million dollars, how many people will own a bitcoin when this happens.
5759  Bitcoin / Press / [2021-04-19] Why Crypto Stocks Plunged Today on: April 20, 2021, 07:12:30 AM
What happened
Shares of any stock related to cryptocurrencies had a rough start to the week Monday and some were down over 10%. Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) fell from about $62,000 when the market closed Friday to $55,880 as of this writing, although its low yesterday was below $54,000. Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) was over $2,400 when the market closed Friday and is now at $2,176.

There are a number of stocks that have taken it on the chin as a result, but Square's (NYSE:SQ) drop of 5.3% was notable today. MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) and Ebang International Holdings (NASDAQ:EBON) also fell 10.1% and 15.1% at their lows. The three stocks are down 3.9%, 8.5%, and 9.3% respectively as of 4 p.m. EDT.

So what
The crypto sell-off over the weekend was driven by fears that the U.S. government will crack down on some crypto activity. In particular, the U.S. Treasury is reportedly planning to increase oversight of financial institutions for carrying out money laundering through digital assets. The Central Bank of Turkey also banned the use of cryptocurrencies for use as payment late last week, which isn't a good sign if the trend continues.

A company like Square makes money off cryptocurrency trades on its platform, so any drop in the price will likely lead to lower commissions.

For MicroStrategy, the impact is more direct: It holds 90,531 Bitcoins with a value of $2.171 billion as of Feb. 24 on the balance sheet. The drop in crypto value is a direct loss to the company.

Ebang International makes chips for Bitcoin mining and has launched its own cryptocurrency exchange, so the drop in crypto assets could be a direct hit to the bottom line. Crypto mining relies on high prices for crypto assets, so if the drop continues demand could be hit in 2021.

These three companies show how broadly cryptocurrencies are now impacting big businesses on the market. There are transaction companies that make money off crypto trading, companies that hold crypto, and the hardware and software companies that are building crypto infrastructure. Like any commodity, they all drop when crypto does.

Now what
The reality of the market in 2021 is that volatility in cryptocurrencies is part of the market dynamics, especially for companies that have an interest in the asset class. And with a volatile asset like Bitcoin or Ethereum, stocks will inherently be volatile as well. With that said, if crypto assets jump tomorrow these stocks could as well; the volatility works both ways.

5760  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: the lowest transfer fee ! wich one ? on: April 20, 2021, 06:55:05 AM
Tron fees are super low like everyone has said but if your exchange has harmony (one) this one is also a good alternative might actually have lower fees than tron when moving funds from the exchange.

Coins with huge max supplies always have the cheapest transaction fee, that's why Tron,XRP, DOGE, XLM are all cheap, imagine if TRX reach 10$ per coin one day the gas fee will surely never be the same again, that's the fact
Haven't looked at it this way,genius!!

Wait a second doesn't usdt have a high supply too....
