5741  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Visa to embrace crypto by launching a pilot program on crypto payments on: March 30, 2021, 05:07:30 AM
It's old news though but yeah still good news. I mean you know already Coinbase is partnered with Visa since last year already so Visa is definitely deep diving into crypto (and Coinbase I believe was part of that pilot program along with many other blockchain companies already).

Why are we crediting Elon for this also now?Smiley
5742  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Slippage madness? on: March 29, 2021, 03:43:58 PM
Based on the transaction it seem It did process your order but not sure whether its due to slippage. We all knew that slippage like uniswap changes the received tokens or sold from the original value we should received due to the higher set of it. But this could also change on the value of of the token price like bnb fluctuate that much? That's why the change of value happened. That's what I'm thinking plus the huge cut of the fee based on your usage slippage.

Strange. I also thought there is a max slippage limit allowed, maybe next time you need to find an aggregator that limits it by contract OR to view the contract before you approve (does the contract not show the max limit price you have?). I guess this is what v3 uni is going to really help in the future.

Maybe LIGHT just jumped when you authorized?
5743  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If stock market starts to crater, should we switch to BTC or USD? on: March 29, 2021, 03:09:23 PM
You know people can panic in an unusual manner, ideally if the stock market start to go down people are suppose to find solace in btc but for some wired reason you will see even the price of btc going down because some panic sellers will rather sell off,
so it is better to have it 50 - 50% or 70 -30% on stabecoin and btc depending on your preference, and if you hodl alts at this time, you don't need to be told what to do Wink

You don't just switch to BTC when crypto markets fail, you of course as a trader just want to preserve wealth (and that's always in US dollar, sorry crypto traders but it's true isn't it).

If you're a crypto HOLDER then no question you always hodl BTC when times are turbulent. And you wait for the storm to die before venturing out again.
5744  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Aged Bitcoins Service / Premium? on: March 29, 2021, 01:52:01 PM
I honestly didn't realize people still paid such a premium for aged bitcoins. I mean, before yes, before the 2017 rally I kinda understood it, Mt Gox coins and hacked coins and illegal coins etc but now Bitcoin fungibility is the thing, and there is no such thing as 1 bitcoin is more/less worth than another.

Or can someone correct me?Smiley

Same deal as lottery tickets, its a long shot for fun not any serious deal.    You arent quite 100% on this across the whole site, I would estimate if a person became an expert in some way on the sports and events betting and you seriously have a better estimation then the crowd then its not impossible you beat the average and return profits on such time invested.     Its still very tricky to rely on this in any serious way but some people have a gift in their judgement, many fail.

Yep, anything in gambling is a long shot when it comes to longterm gains so long as we keep reminding ourselves of this, we should all end up all right.

Sports you play to test your skill and maybe make some money but I think if you try to turn "pro" then eventually you become emotionally affected. Chasing the loss will always be an eventuality.
5746  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: bad week mojo lost on: March 29, 2021, 11:46:46 AM
Now I want to dust myself up and start again, learn from my mistake but I have lost my mojo with it all. Up til Wednesday I was on a winning streak and everything was going well but I dont trust myself now.
I put on a trade and if it falls by 20% (leveraged) I close the trade only for it to go back up.
I am looking for strategies or tools to try and figure out a better game plan with futures, I can see huge potential just need to get focused and try again   

I'd be a lot more careful in the future if you're going to trade more and count yourself as functional only when you have "mojo". Trading is supposed to be boring and dry and dull my friend. If you need mojo to trade, then you're treating it more like gambling.

Take a break. And then go in again when you're ready. With money you're HAPPY to lose.
5747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: March 29, 2021, 11:08:04 AM
what do you think : are there also teams in the qualifiers that lose on purpose because they don't want to go to qatar?   Wink

This is just ridiculous. Why should anyone refuse to go to Qatar? If the COVID 19 pandemic is a reason, then it doesn't make any sense. The World Cup is still some one and half years away and the chances are that the pandemic will be under complete control by then. And World Cup is an event which occurs only once every 4 years. I don't think that anyone in a good state of mind would refuse a chance to take part in this event.

It's ridiculous I agree. Any sports professional who doesn't agree with what's going on in Qatar should just make their stand known and then boycott with the team or captain.

Besides. What happened in Brazil world cup was as bad if not worse and everyone still went to play. That is politics unfortunately, there is no team now I think that will refuse on principle of humanity.
5748  Economy / Speculation / Re: Upcoming Market Prediction (Market heading for a great downfall) on: March 29, 2021, 09:45:46 AM
I do believe that we are not going to see constant increases forever, eventually things will go down, but just because they will go down doesn't mean that it will happen right now and doesn't mean that it will be 92% neither, we are going to see better results for sure. I am not a financial analyst or financial advisor so take my words with a grain of salt, but I am pretty sure 92% fall on big stocks is as impossible as it gets without bankrupting.

There's no such thing as forever rally and forever to infinity for sure. Once Bitcoin reaches real mainstream adoption then the explosive moon rallies will be a thing of the past. In fact many people are saying this is potentially the last huge rally we will ever see and every new cycle after this will be more like gold and oil getting new ATHs. What do you think?
5749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: March 29, 2021, 09:14:48 AM
Oh no, I missed it by ONE pick what a shame:)

Still would have to share it with 3 others so it would only have been 25 mbtc but that's still a hell of a big sum to win for something as easy to do with a cheap ticket as this.

Well done to ourselves for fame points and thanks again to you guys for putting all this together. So sorry I joined late:)
5750  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc is better then gf on: March 29, 2021, 07:33:22 AM
Dude, there is nothing that is cheaper than a gf, but wait til you turn her into a wife, then you will know the true heartpain;) But no sexist, bfs and husbands can be more expensive (not moneywise but in terms of emotional pain!).

The comparison here is btc is better than ANY other forms of money.
5751  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: HEX is your last chance at a 1000x crypto. on: March 29, 2021, 07:01:44 AM
The HEX token has been standing in one place for the last half a year. Why are there people who think that the token will give x100, I don't understand, this project is unique?

Actually a lot longer than that. It has been there for over a year if I'm not mistaken, if not even longer.

And it's unique as a smart contract type long term staking project (but some people say it's more like a ponzi). I don't really care which, it's got no utility and no long-term value so it's yeah, a ponzi there for the taking.
5752  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the official uses of bitcoin other then trading? on: March 28, 2021, 02:48:05 PM
Will it only be used for investing/speculation as long as its price is this unstable? Can you imagine a normal acting like bitcoin does? I guess pink papers/penny  stocks do that but those are just legal pump and dumps that clog up your work fax with junk faxes that come through at 4:00AM making sure you will se it.

But I don't invest and I don't speculate, and I know for sure I must not be the only one not doing this. Yes I hodl but I also spend and earn in Bitcoin for many years as a supplement income to my normal day to day job. People do it more than me too as I can tell, and it's been successful for them.

Imagine running a business without needing Paypal approval as you can charge and bill in Bitcoin?
5753  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Idea: Keep your own log of your favorite forecasters on: March 28, 2021, 02:01:35 PM
I think I've seen a number of places already doing this. Impossible to keep up though since there's a new one every day, along with those Bitcoin death forecasts as well!

Might as well just follow in the Speculation Wall and see all those marks they keep already, better than random influencer or specialist trader predictions IMO!!
5754  Economy / Speculation / Re: Limited Bitcoin Supply Will Push Price to Incredible Numbers, Says Ark Invest’s on: March 28, 2021, 12:20:00 PM
Supply problem is not a problem though actually but the very design of Bitcoin protocol, as far as I understood. Everything has so far worked as well as Satoshi ever predicted so this is really how it all works miners rewards, block rewards, fees, everything. Just as he imagined and just as the economy is working it out:)
5755  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: March 28, 2021, 10:57:18 AM
I clocked up almost 20,000 lottery tickets just from the Wheel of fortune spins last week.   I topped it up more so it was over 20k but was quite an impressive haul just on free spins, of course I still need the actual good luck to take home the bacon but I presume if it happens once it'll be a nice bonus in future also.

That is pretty sick STT not bad! I think there was also a round I got over 10k from two big hits on WOF but this was a little while before the price of Bitcoin made it only 3600 tickets on the big spin.

My own record for lottery tickets is over 200k but that was all from wager. Scary to wager so much these days but 5x RP rewards coming;)
5756  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why you don't need to HODL or trade Bitcoin on: March 28, 2021, 10:05:26 AM
I do freelance work, I do affiliate network, I trade, I invest, and all of that helped me get richer than I could by working at an office job. By all means I am not a rich person, but I am making more money than I could from a regular office job that I used to work for and that is why I think it is quite obvious that we should not be caring about people who write stuff like these, they are totally wrong because holding and trading is great for bitcoin, even today when it is so high.

Nice job!

I just hodl really, it's all I can do, and earning small amounts from some forum presence here, I've been doing it for years. It's not much but I put effort in it, and am very happy that I can save most of it so over the years, it grows. $40 just a year ago is worth more than $400 now. That is what I look forward to also earning $30 now and in ten years seeing it grow.

5758  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie traders - Learn from my mistakes on: March 27, 2021, 12:03:47 PM
Indeed, newcomers to trading are generally prone to lose, because knowledge and experience are needed to trade successfully. But I know for sure that some of the newbies do not want to learn and listen to recommendations. I have already come across such people and unfortunately saw personally how they ignore advice and recommendations and just go to trade without experience in the hope that they will just get lucky. Trading is a serious process and it must be approached with full responsibility and only then there is a chance of success.

Nah not really. Veteran traders are known to lose money after a good run too, usually it's all about making 99 good trades and then making 1 bad decision in a really bad month and then it topples over in a series of trying to play catch up and throwing all trading logic and rules out the window.

The best traders I think are very realistic about being able to withstand losses and just making the best in a rally.

It does seem like it's pretty difficult to choose these last 16 teams here, and I wonder if now is the time to go for all the favorites and choose the unlikely over/under but I saw for the odds most of it is tight anyway so I went instead for half favorites and half not-so-favorites, and choose Under/Over sort of randomly on my sight of how big the total number was;)

Loyola - Oregon State -> 1 + over
Baylor - Villanova -> 1 + under
Arkansas- Oral Roberts -> 1 + under
Houston - Syracuse -> 1 + under
Gonzaga - Creighton -> 1 + under
Michigan - Florida -> 2 + under
Alabama - UCLA -> 1 + under
USC - Oregon -> 2 + under
5760  Economy / Speculation / Re: Want to understand..... on: March 27, 2021, 10:26:40 AM
Before the market could have demand, there should be trust first, trust is everything in Cryptocurrency, you are buying because of the trust, so far Bitcoin and other top Cryptocurrency are enjoying the trust from investors and traders and, that is why Bitcoin is setting up new all-time high records one after the other.

Trust only in the network and the code that secures it, not trust in anything else like the project's intentions (which if you actually believe is not for profit then you probably deserve to get scammed).

Trust not in the words and hopes of others who tell you you will get rich.

Trust in Bitcoin being secure for a long time and even more so in the future.
