5941  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will YouTube launch it's own cryptocurrency. on: December 31, 2019, 11:00:54 AM
There is a question in my mind that alarming in my mind for few days. I am a new member here but in replies the senior and hero members that knows cryptocurrency news at very large amount. Will YouTube or Google launch it's own cryptocurrency?
I am hearing for few days that the Facebook launched libra coin. Is this news is real.
I want to more work at bitcointalk but i confused for it's hard amount of rules.
Anyone help me that what topic that I select for making topics and learn crypto knowledge by reading posts and I will be able to become a senior member.

There was and there is no speculation that they are going to launch one, but if they do have one they are one of the last pieces of the puzzle that we are waiting for to solve if adoption is going to come, imagine a highly industrial and powerful country plus two of the internet giant creating their own Cryptocurrency, everyone will now notice Cryptocurrency.

Is online gambling in Netherlands is prohibit? they should open it by 2020 instead of 2021 as they can see how much money is flowing to the gambling operators.

It is really one of the biggest tax contributor while others still doesn't see the point of its existence. The article didnt mentioned if some of them are crypto related casinos.
No, it's not prohibited. As I understand, there is just one official legal casino in Netherlands - Holland Casino. It's owned by state, what is really strange and not common thing, especially in EU.
So, it means that all others casinos worked illegaly in Netherlans and got fined for that.

Are they punishing it with fine because it is directly competing with the government-run casinos, here in our country all our casinos are government-run so they can get funds for their infrastructure if the government don't want to give them license because they want to monopolize running their own casinos, then these illegal will really have to wait some time to get a license, they might not even give them license to operate.
5943  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Justin Sun dump 33 billion TRX on New Year's Day? on: December 30, 2019, 09:31:00 AM
TRON (TRX) will be unlocking 33B TRX on Jan 1, 2020. What these tokens will be used for has yet to be determined.

TRON will be starting 2020 with a massive token unlocking which will increase its current circulating supply of 66B by 50%. 33B TRX will be unlocked on the first day of 2020. The TRON Foundation locked the funds months after it migrated from Ethereum to its own mainnet.


Source link here

Even if they say that they have no plans on what to do with 33 billion TRX, I would honestly don't believe that in an instant.

Anything can happen within or after January 1, 2020. If they say that there's no purpose, they should have remained it locked until they have a valid reason to use them for future developments.

There could be chances that some of the TRX will be dumped to fund for their development, or will be moved to another TRX or so. I don't know, but we'll see what happens after January 1st.

To all TRX fans and holders out there, what is your reaction about the recent decision of TRON to unlock the 33 billion TRX? Hmmm....



It will have a negative impact, they should only release a small percentage and they should be stated what are these for, I'm sure it will be dumped in the market, 66 billion is just too much for a coin that is just starting out, I haven't read about the roadmap and their condition of the unlocking, but it will have a negative impact.
5944  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the weirdest thing you have seen for sale for Bitcoin? on: December 30, 2019, 04:20:26 AM
The most bizarre thing selling with bitcoins are altcoins. I'm not pointing at all the subcoins. But some altcoins are really selling imagination. People are paying bitcoin or etherum to get these dreams. Unfortunately, there are too many scams.

I am one of those who bought these imagination altcoins because of their roadmap that has full of imagination only to end up waking up in a nightmare but going back to the weirdest things that you can buy with Bitcoin are information about popular celebrities and politicians they have prove on this so if you are an online gossiper or celebrity writer, you can find a lot here.
5945  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hackers Just Had A Field Day on Nuls. $480k Worth Token Stolen on: December 30, 2019, 03:52:47 AM
Blockchain platform Nuls has lost almost $480,000 worth of NULS tokens due to a hack, according to a security update tweeted on Dec. 22.

In its tweet, Nuls said it had detected that 2 million tokens had been transferred, of which 548,354 tokens — worth roughly $131, 600 — had entered the trading market and were now untraceable.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/hackers-grab-nearly-480k-from-blockchain-platform-nuls?utm_source=Telegram&utm_medium=social

Will there be a remedy for the incessant hacks in 2020?

This has been the biggest issue this 2019 and it will continue to happen this 2020, it's now up to investors to only trust exchange that can beef up their technology to the highest possible level, and those who can guaranty their trader's account and funds, and as long as there are hacking attempts Cryptocurrency will not progress and adoption will not move fast.
5946  Economy / Economics / Re: What if crypto vanishes? on: December 30, 2019, 03:15:45 AM
What will happen if crypto vanishes overnight or due to some or the other reason if crypto becomes inaccessible to public? I know this does not make sense as crypto will not vanish but still what if it happens? What about those huge chunk of investments made by whales and other investors?

The only thing that will not make it accessible is because of the internet connection, and if there is an interruption on the chain, but so far none of this is happening after ten years, but if in the future something like this happens, there are still new technology coming to replace Cryptocurrency but it will just work like Cryptocurrency Cryptocurrency will always become a part of our lives, just like the internet

Why do people still fall victims to obvious scams? Especially on twitter people are still sending bitcoin to traders, no one is a perfect trader, do not send bitcoin or other coins to people to trade for you, its stupid and foolish idea

Today a bitcoin trader on twitter exit scam and delete all traces off social media, i heard its about 53bitcoin, here is the link to the news

https://coinnewstelegraph.com/bitmex-bitcoin-fund-manager-exit-scams-before-christmas/

Pls stop, there is no such thing as easy money, its either you learn or you quit or else you will keep losing money

This kind of people fail to do one thing and that is to do due diligence, or never had an account here to ask if a particular program or scheme is legit, this is the reason why we have a reputation thread and scam category here, it's free to ask but people are in a hurry to send money than to ask questions here or do a research first, anyway they will learn later that it always pays to do a research first.
5948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Gervonta Davis vs Yuriorkis Gamboa on: December 29, 2019, 10:26:44 PM
Sad story for Gamboa. He was way past his prime but tried to hold on to it, but Davis says nope. If you were to see the scoreboard, it was almost a complete win for Davis, plus the TKO in the last round which sealed the deal. Seemed like there was a problem with Gamboa's feet after round 2, which ultimately lead to his demise on the next 10 rounds, counted with the clean shots of Davis, Gamboa had no chance for a comeback.

I feel sorry for Gamboa, he is very defenseless in that round those uppercuts really connected, he has a very strong chin but with that kind of uppercut and how hard Davis connected I don't think his chin can withstand that barrage of punches, big questions now for the future of Gamboa like Chavez retirement is looming for both of them.
5949  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Google banned ETH wallet and metamask android client on Playstore on: December 29, 2019, 08:08:48 AM
Right now, I'm still quite confused on Google's stance on cryptocurrencies. Earlier this year, there are already rumors of Google Pay's support on cryptocurrencies. But now, things seems to start making a turn. The YouTube drama was said to be unintentional, but here we are again at another crypto-related censorship on one of their platforms.

I agree with your opinion, that's actually two in a row, they delete Crypto influencers Youtube Videos, now they take down metamask in Playstore, we can confirm that they are really against Cryptocurrency and they are showing it if we have a third one, could be advertisement about Crypto, they used to go against with.
5950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is libra coin going to dominate the Bitcoin market? on: December 29, 2019, 07:14:22 AM
In case libra coin will get approval from US Securities,
Will it dominate the cryptocurrency market?
Currently Bitcoin has dominance of 68% in the market.
Will Libra coin reduce the dominance of Bitcoin market?


It's like saying we are doing great on being decentralized then we realized it's much ok to go centralized, I don't know how competitiveLibra coin when it launch, but all I know is, it's going to be a battle of centralization and decentralization, Ripple should be the one worrying if Libra coin is finally launch, not Bitcoin, it's dominance will still remain, whether there is Libra Coin or there is none.
5951  Economy / Speculation / Re: Anyone else think "long term" hodlers are idiots? on: December 29, 2019, 01:11:39 AM
I couldn't agree with that at all. Many people don't have enough patience to hold Bitcoin on long term and many think that is not profitable enough. But that is not true and long term investment has still the lowest risk and you can make very nice profit if you have developed your strategy and you are active investor.
Bitcoin price movements will speak for itself and the theory that long term investors are idiots.

But Bitcoin was and is intended to be a peer to peer and payment processor people should use it for what it is intended for, we can hodl but we need to use it also to buy stop services and ask merchants to also include it, imagine what will happen if all investors are just Hodlers I read in one post, that 60% of Bitcoin wallets are not moving their Bitcoin, I don't think this healthy.
5952  Economy / Speculation / Re: When is the perfect time to sell BTC? on: December 29, 2019, 12:38:21 AM
I am holding BTC from long time ago. And this time BTC going up can I sell now with this price? Or I can wait for more days?

You can sell it anytime, when you realized your profit, or when you want funds right away, but if you are looking for profit to sell your Bitcoin, I don't think this is the right and best time to sell, you can delay it if you have read all the news right now, experts are predicting  for a better price in the second quarter if you don't need funds, delay it for a few months. 
5953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: YouTube admits error over Bitcoin video purge on: December 28, 2019, 11:59:48 PM
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-50924494



Despite the apologies, I still think bitcoin video enthusiasts should migrate to decentralised video hosting sites like D tube: https://d.tube/

Crypto uploaders should have an option to migrate here or they should since they can re-upload their videos without violating both TOS as long as they own the copyright, but they cannot just leave Youtube, they are very much stable here, and their videos are not only for Crypto users but for those new people coming in to invest.
5954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel more lucky than usual when it's New Year's. on: December 28, 2019, 03:12:25 PM
I lived in this misconception, once before the New Year I had a good profit, and it happened again 2 years in a row.
I thought I was more lucky when the New Year.
Of course this is not true, the casino never changes under the influence of the social factor.
The casino is the same as always no change.
Or maybe there is?

I haven't tried gambling in New Year, so I don't know if I am lucky playing in New Year, but two in a row means you are indeed lucky, and if you can make it three in a row, that means it's a tradition, good ways for you to start your new year winning a game, I wish you can carry that the whole year.
5955  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin price be $20000 next year? on: December 28, 2019, 10:41:42 AM
It may be 3500$ or 20,000$. Bitcoin can swing in any direction and no one can stop that not even whales. We have seen current rise in price of bitcoin and there is no reason for this rise. Likewise bitcoin may fall or rise next year without any reason. Don’t expect any price of bitcoin. Just buy when it is low and HODL.

A series of good and bad events can make or break Bitcoin, halving is good news but it could hamper the growth if we read  to many distractions like hacking, we should not rely on halving alone, it should be back by a lot of good news and new people coming in to invest and support the adoption of Cryptocurrency.
5956  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Time for YouTube to vanish ... on: December 28, 2019, 10:01:47 AM
YouTube is loosing quickly !!!

Have you seen what goes on with the Crypto Youtube channels?
They getting blocked and deleted by YouTube in masses....


THIS IS THE MOMENT FOR AMP SYNEREO HYPERSPACE  !!!

....we should take that chance to decentralize that space for us!

Loosing on what? it's not that easy for Youtube to just go down, they are owned and operated by the number one company in the internet and there's no real competitor, so I don't know what they are losing, I read a report that it was a mistake, it should be on videos that invite people to invest, you are right that we need a video sharing site like Youtube, but so far no one comes close to compete.
5957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Superstition in Number 13, What About the Casino? (Lucky Six) on: December 28, 2019, 09:22:21 AM
First, I will not offend anyone if he does not know or is wrong in his country, but number 13 is an "unfortunate number" and people do not like him.

Number 13 is associated with the Lucky Six, a game where numbers are drawn before you draw, 6 numbers in particular.
In this game, each of the balls has different colors, and by playing the "case" Plague number 13 is black.
For all those superstitious, this is very bad and brings a bunch of bad things

Now, people never pick 13 when choosing numbers, but I thought more deeply.
Maybe the machine has artificial intelligence that deliberately pulls out number 13 because it knows people are an unlucky number and people won't dial that number.
That is my guess, it may sound naive, but the scratch was 70% correct.

I am interested in your opinions on this, whether it makes sense and whether you agree.
If something is not clear to you, ask?

So your analysis turns out 70% correct? on how many gambling sites and what gambling sites, every gambling site differs in their algorithm, what's true on one gambling cannot be true on another site, and your findings are very interesting people might wanna try that on their next betting.

5959  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers are smart as well. on: December 27, 2019, 06:23:21 AM
Scammers don't have to give huge promises anymore, believe me they are among us and they know how smart investors have become too, they always reshape their tactics, now projects don't have to give too good offers because they know people are aware that too good to be real offers are scam, honestly scammers are not idiots

People keep saying good projects always have good team and brilliant ideas to solve crypto issues, who tell you that scammers can't deliver all this?


They can deliver a seemingly good team in the project, but if they are good the community are better, and with the way things are going on crowdfunding, I doubt investors will be interested, in more new coins, there are coins that look good and coming from reputable company, but they cannot even reach their soft cap, this is enough proof that investors had enough and they are more on the coins that are listed in the exchange.

According to Bham, who has been uploading crypto-related content to his YouTube page since 2016, a channel hit with a strike such as this may be unable to livestream for up to 90 days, heavily impacting a user’s income.
now they are now voicing out their displeasure because of this although there is a report that it was just a mistake by Youtube
they should get those videos back
