Bitcoin keeps going down and forecasts of a rebound don't fulfill anymore
Cryptocurrencies should be moving beyond from being just value storage. Real functionality is needed.

Blockchain technology is well positioned to be the next level of money evolution
But governments are starting to implement it because they know it can save their ailing printed money

When I first proposed to use cryptocurrencies as support for a financial system based on energy instead of money or gold, some members asked me how it would be instrumented. Thanks to them all.

Here it is. The basis of a plan for a financial system based on blockchain technology and energy, mainly solar, that can show the way it may be operative and workable.

I'd really appreciate a review. Thanks in advance

Why bitcoin is going down so it must be over.  Every year these silly little posts, threads or articles come out.  Bitcoin is not done for.  Look back from the inception where peoe were calling it the end, the honey badger always does the same thing, rebound even stronger than before.

Well, we can't stop the price from going down, or investors selling this precious bitcoin because of the holidays.

Are you referring to this article? PlusToken Scammers Didn’t Just Steal $2+ Billion Worth of Cryptocurrency. They May Also Be Driving Down the Price of Bitcoin. The article came from Chainalysis, so I don't know if it has weight or something. Still up for us to decide, but basically the price is base on supply and demand tho.

Peoe are not selling bitcoin because of the holiday that doesnt even make sense.  Will some people sell a little change to get some extra fiat for the holidays, maybe.  But that would be so small, otherwise you would see a yearly selloff.  This probably has something to do with that scam token sell off.  Chain analysis followed a lot of it to OTC desks so I imagine yep that is mostly the reason, which makes me bullish

We will see now the Mavericks playing without luka in the whole game against the streaking bucks.
Las time against the heat, they rally in the 2nd half to make it a close game, can they do the same with the Bucks here or even stop the streak.
IMO, i think they will struggle as they lost a PG and their main scorer so buck here could probably dominate the Mavericks.

I'm thinking you are right.  Think the bucks are only favored by 10, I can see this game get out of hand early and see the bucks leading by 10-15 by halftime alone.  They are the real deal, excited to see the bucks lakers game soon.  Bucks -10 should be a decent bet.  Can see a 125-100 type of game here.

Dam that was a complete miss.  Tough to guess what happens to the team when a star goes down, sometimes the team rally's around that or the other team softens up I guess.  Tonight I'm big on the suns +13.5 against the clippers.  DeAndre finally comes back and will make a difference here.  Think the clips still win just not by 13.
If it's his first game, I might observe first, usually in the first game player will adjust first after missing many games.

Good luck mate, hope you'll get it right tonight.

Dam, didnt know booker was sitting....that hurt.  If booker plays that obviously a closer game.  Suns were playing without direction without him out there.  Been on a pretty bad streak here lol.  Tonight I like the heat as 7.5 dogs to the 76ers.  Heat already down one game should be ready to play.  76ers play a slower game if the heat can get them to speed it up a little they might even have a shot to sneak a win in here.

Brees certainly deserves to get to the superbowl again, the saints have been screwed over a few times by bad calls at key moments. As far as KC well I think thats up in the air and still too early to call but i still like tyKiwanuka's prediction.


I think we are looking at a NE vs. NO Super Bowl. That's my guess right now. As much as I'd rather not, I would also bet that NE is going to win... We'll see though. I'm not placing any SB bets right now... one game at a time.

New Poll

Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Sunday, 4:25 PM

The line is -2.5 or -3 Cowboys, the poll is for ML.

Its a more exciting / relevant game than the Bengals-Dolphins game, which only has a spread of 1.

Edit:

My picks for this week to cover are:

Dallas -2.5
Kansas City -5
Pittsburgh -3

These are all teams fighting for wild card spots, and they all have a significantly higher ATS (against the spread) than their opponent. I feel most comfortable about Kansas City. I feel so confident about it I took it at -6. I'm also a bit drunk, but you know, liquid courage, etc...

Can never go wrong with picking the patriots in the superbowl.  It just looks like they have some cracks on offense I havent seen before but that is probably by design with belichek.  It just seems everyone is passing over the chiefs and forget that mahomes had a gruesome injury that muddled the middle of their season, he looks fully healthy and they could definately sneak on people.

p.s.  not one person has chimed in thinking this would be a good practice.

Which is why it’s not going to happen. The consensus was opposed so these coins will be sold as is. I have edited the opening post to reflect this.

Apparently there was more demand then I expected as it sounds like there are already more orders then I have coins so unless some of these early orders don’t follow through these are sold.

Try to relax life’s too short to get so worked up over something so trivial.

At the prices these command it's no so "trivial" to some people, that's a lot of money at stake.  Undecided

These are highly collected coins as evidenced by your selling out of even the peeled coins so fast.

How will the eth hardfork create a price breakout?  Altcoins are bought mainly against a bitcoin pair.  Same with eth.  If bitcoin goes down in fiat by a lot, you can rest assure eth will go down in terms of fiat pricing.  Point I was making was bitcoin at $1k or bitcoin at $100k usd makes a huge difference in whether litecoin or in that matter eth would ever move towards $1k
too far to predict prices that high. we can't see it if the state of bitcoin is still like this. Hardfork ethereum also I don't think will give growth to such a high market. if we have to look at LTC towards $ 1k maybe bitcoin will experience a very extraordinary increase.

The hardfork alone wont shoot the price up why would it.  If anything the price is already baked in just like a halving price bake in.  Too many people think these non significant events will just moon their coin they are holding.  Point is they will only go if bitcoin goes.
5769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The Essential NFL Thread 🏈🏈 - new poll every week on: December 17, 2019, 10:16:23 PM
For the record I went with the Steelers in the poll... Bills have indeed been improving but I think Steelers are the better late season team and know how to win in crunch time. Bills had a playoff drought from 1999 - 2017 when they lost to the Jags. Meanwhile, Steelers have been to the playoffs 11 times during that period.

I do need your guys' opinion on who to start for my QB:

Carson Wentz

or

Jameis Winston

This is for the victory in my fantasy league. Winston is projected to score about 30% higher than Wentz, which is quite significant, and it could make or break my team this week. On one hand, Winston is great for fantasy teams, on the other than, Wentz's team needs a W for the playoffs. Who would you go with?

Jameis Winston

Seems Steelers will have no Juju this week.

I'm concerned that the Bills are going to beat my Pats next week.

It will be interesting to see if the Pats can get their shit together this week and the bills/steelers will be a litmus test for that matchup.

I like the Bill's in this one.  This was a Bill's team that was so close to beating baltimore.  I dont think they will actually have to much issue with the steelers.  Even though it's on the road I can see the Bill's winning by 7+ points.  Might be worth adding points to the spread and getting really good odds

7 points right on the money.  Everyone is overlooking the Bill's but they are a team nobody wants to play right now, their defense is seriously good.  They made lamar Jackson's balt team look pedestrian, if not for a coue big plays Bill's beat them.  Since my giants are in the cellar I'm gonna ride the Bill's for the rest of the year, fun team to watch too.  Liking the saints -9 in the one a lot.  They are fighting for that ultimate #1 home field and a bye slot.  I think they blow the colts out.  34-16

Brees in a record setting night in his dome was not going to be stopped.  Dude is playing out of his mind and with thomas on the other end of the catches is golden.  I like saints through the playoffs even though they might have to hit the road.  Their d is good enough and drew has the fight of a bull in him.  They will be tough to beat come playoff time.  I like a saints vs chiefs superbowl (yep kc edges out baltimore)

It is all dependent on bitcoins price.  I've said it before predicting prices in usd is fruitless.  If bitcoin goes to $1k would it be realistic that litecoin could reach $1k?  But what if bitcoin becomes $1mil each, then $1k litecoin would almost seem like a failure.  Usd prices for alts is all reletive.

Absolutely right.

BTC price is the main driver for alt growth despite whatever other people say. Also, fiat numbers have no intrinsic value in terms of evaluating the true cost of a coin - you'll need to adjust for inflation to do that accurately.

But yeah, I'd be long on LTC given the fact that it's been around a long time and institutions are probably more likely to buy LTC than a bunch of small caps.

Just a moment ago - in the previous post - I wrote that Ethereum hard fork can change the price of altcoins a bit, not only EYH.. I am not saying that it will be skyrocketing to $1k for LTC, but it can speed up the bull run and make the prices of altcoins free from the price of Bitcoin.

How will the eth hardfork create a price breakout?  Altcoins are bought mainly against a bitcoin pair.  Same with eth.  If bitcoin goes down in fiat by a lot, you can rest assure eth will go down in terms of fiat pricing.  Point I was making was bitcoin at $1k or bitcoin at $100k usd makes a huge difference in whether litecoin or in that matter eth would ever move towards $1k

2020 is Good for USA dollar coz debt Will arise and to pay debt u need to have USA dollars.
Just coz of high debt the value of USA dollar Will Go Better.
So the USA dollar Will have Some tremendous growth.
Also the Canada dollar value Will grow 2020.

But USA and Canada stock market Will Not do great.


That's all according to Precirse calculations.

experts speculate that by 2020 the stock market will lose a bigger marketcap and will enter the cryptocurrency,
hopefully that will happen so that bitcoin will explode again!

Stock market going down I dont think will directly correlate into crypto caps exploding.  While that might happen I dont think they are tied at the hip yet.  Crypto gains are a snowball, a little upward movement creates media spikes which in turn kicks in fomo and then the intense swings upward happen.
5775  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin could be 6000$ soon give us your opinion on: December 16, 2019, 09:46:47 PM

The bears win, I guess there will be no $10K this year end. I have a feeling that this will continue to go on even after halving. BTC is pretty much being drag to the ground and so do you think this is because of the BAKKT that seem its traders were shorting when in reality there isn't real BTC involve?  I'm curious if this is affecting the market, then there isn't really a safe market right now for any cryptocurrencies.

I don't think the cryptocurrency market is any safe or has been safe at all. It's pure speculation and manipulation.

It has never been considered a "safe" market.  Of course crypto price short term is pure speculation.  Dont read technical analysis for bitcoin and think it will hold true.  As with anything else dont put in more than you can afford to lose.  (Still the most badass market to put money in on  Cheesy)

Most times in an election year the market does really well, but being that we are at alltime highs I can see either a auteur or a large correction coming.  What goes up must come down right.  Putting more money into the market at this point seems like top buying.  Not worth adding any extra into the market.  I'd rather buy when things are brutally red
5778  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Litecoin could reach $1,000 in a couple of years from now on: December 13, 2019, 11:07:55 PM
How can that happen when we all know that LTC founder Charlie Lee sold his LTC when the price of LTC peaked in early 2018. In my opinion, LTC will probably not be able to reach the $ 100, when we have so many better options than LTC right now.
We see this type of comments last year on Twitter and Facebook but in June this year litecoin went as high as $150! On a good day litecoin should be above $1000 and that good days is going to come some years to come.
predictions can be wrong even if those who provide information are those who have been in the field. LTC, including coins, is quite good and stable, if we want to see the movements they have are very good and promising. to reach $ 100 I think it will be easy for LTC to pass next year, but it must also be realistic if it can reach $ 1K it seems to require hard work.
because when it's all the passionate coins LTC can't break $ 400, so we have to be realistic for this.

It is all dependent on bitcoins price.  I've said it before predicting prices in usd is fruitless.  If bitcoin goes to $1k would it be realistic that litecoin could reach $1k?  But what if bitcoin becomes $1mil each, then $1k litecoin would almost seem like a failure.  Usd prices for alts is all reletive.

Nevertheless, it is a marvelous achievement for such a young player from Europe to be even in discussion of MVP let alone being just decent, even back when Manu or Dirk came to league (in my opinion best foreign players) they were not this good but became good, this kid is good from the get go.

Are we talking about Luka Doncic here? He is an exceptional player even when he was still in Euroleague. A professional player at a very young age and achieving a lot in Europe, it is expected that he will be bigger here in NBA as he matures. The MVP race is tough but I believe he will achieve it soon.
We do know that NBA is different if you remember Toni Kukoč he also have spectacular skills wayback but when he enter the League he just relying
with MJ same with Ginobli who's also have the same caliber back in European league, but with Luka the type of his supremacy in his age it's really
exceptional for sure he will achieve more as he grow and matured he's talent will bring more recognitions.

He already building up that recognition gradually.Setting new achievements and i wont be surprised if this guy would get some MVP award.
What i do like with this guy is on his versatility plus his shooting success percentage no matter what range he's in plus having some
coordination with his team specially with porzingis/kp.Still have a lot of years to progress and might become a legend someday.  Cool

I know tree young is a good player and all but imagine being atlanta hawks knowing you drafted luka and instantly gave him up.  I remember leading up to the draft he was highly regarded but people are always shy because the the whole darko milicic night.are detroit had to go through.
