I reckon ETH going proof of stake will lower transaction fees quite a bit for them, its a far more efficient process that might even seriously challenge proof of work and BTC method I've been interested in that dynamic and staking since 2014 myself and the POS idea is quite valid to go mainstream imo. Why does that matter, it'd be the first big change in crypto for a decade far more valid then the forking nonsense. I know theres a few other POS attempts but ETH is the biggest most viable to change the landscape afaik. We live in interesting times  Yeah, and I think that will actually only just make all these new Defi and other dapp utility explode (since people won't be worrying anymore about fees and be more willing to try experiment more). But that's all about blockchain dapps, very separate from what Bitcoin is used for (ultra secure value protection and money hedge) so I don't see either as threatening to each other. Interesting times indeed! |

^^ Can I pretend I'm not seeing all the news on Barcagate and just happily lose myself in the ignorant bliss of football? Maybe not...
Anyway, we're on a really good streak now, only 2 points dropped in the last 7 games (not counting Copa and UCL of course haha haha haha). So of course nice to see Sociedad hold Real, just they should have held on like 5 more minutes ah!!
Game on La Liga!

Have to say that this model is really lasting a lot longer than I thought it would (but there are already some mistakes are they not?). Also I think he improved the model already, probably now there is due another corrective model to be introduced. Still not a believer, but interesting that S2F is still holding quite well right now. |

As the world watches Bitcoin and ALL other coins crash in 2021, which is now making 2018 look like child's play, well past the much written about support level of 44K which is "healthy" leading to a 100K coin by the end of the year, how many of you cryptocurrency evangelicals are ready to now admit that the entirety of cryptocurrency is one big pump and dump scam heralded by the exchanges and "social influencers" ?
How does 2018 look like childs play though? All we see is BTC coming down to 40k from 58k which really is just 45% drop. We've all seen worse haven't we? Remember even March last year? That was 70% drop! 44k is healthy, but so is 30k too. Pump I always admit, dump? |

This is not the sad limitation of Bitcoin but of technology going digital, unfortunately.
I remember also some countries are trying to go completely cashless (being that all money should be digital) but then this ignores that it would immediately put out of business millions of people who rely on cash because they don't have smartphones and internet to use digital money.
I think you have good points, but this is not Bitcoin this is digital tech, so we need to find a way to fix access for the disabled for digital tech:)

Ah I was so so close! 3 exact scores and 1 point, and if Vinicius only not scored his late goal I would have had 4 exact scores, probably my best performance this whole season in any of the leagues. So annoying:)
But good news for me to move up a little. I guess it's not necessarily all over;) Like Barca says the race isn't over haha:P

In fact XRP hodlers dont need a positive settlement regarding securities violations case like withdrawing the claim.
There is an other outcome that would be much more beneficial not only for us but for SEC as well:
The purpose of SEC is to protect investors so it should act according to its purpose - it just need to prohibit Ripple from any further XRP sells and also ideally apply something similar for Jed McCaleb holdings.
Which is the whole point of the past lawsuits whose purpose it was solely to limit Ripple owners from dumping their XRP. IIRC they were successful only in putting restrictions on how much and how often, but I'm sure SEC already knows all these details. The limits have to be more strict, and have to foresee what other nonsense the owners can try in future and prevent it first. |

I had never used Binance smart chain before, but I checked it out today. Yup, fees are still low, confirmations are very quick, but I think Binance smart chain is doing exactly the same mistake Ethereum did in the beginning, if I am not missing anything.
I performed transactions of fees of around $0.5, and it's just the beginning. I imagine if the network usage multiplied by x100 after a few years and price went to over $1,000 which BNB is very capable of. I don't think we shall be paying the little fee of $0.5 anymore for transactions, shall we?
That's what I think too. CZ also had the audacity to say ETH is for rich guys but he's ignoring the fact that he's starting out now and already BSC is crazy expensive FROM the start. If they grow to ETH capacity what will fees look like? Same as Ether now so what's the difference except BSC is highly centralized right? |

Isn't one of the ways check Coinmarketcap and then check which went up the most the last week or day? Of course if you do that... well many coins probably already hit the peak or close to it?
Yes but this way on CMC means you only find it out after the fact. Naturally, OP wants to know how to detect it before it happens, if there's any signs to give clues to you that a coin's about to explode. My short answer: not really. You may find out if you're following closely but can you afford to follow a lot of altcoins closely? Not if you want to have a real life and real job:) |

Honestly Barcelona would be not an ideal place for him, I think by far the best place for him would be Bayern and easily, because dude is known for direct football which Bayern plays better than anyone played in history, they have been awesome at it for nearly a decade. Inter could work if you force it hard enough but PSG would be amazing as well, not because they play that kind of football but because they have awesome players so they could definitely use someone like him.
Barcelona is a tiki taka team and they just pass to whoever is open, as long as you pass to someone open and you do not lose the ball that means you are not giving the ball to other team, you know tiki taka, and Wijnaldum is not that kind of player, he rarely ever passes back, so he will help with a lot of goals but he will also lose a lot of balls and cause possessions as well.
I somehow disagree. Barca is getting to be less and less of that tiki taka team that Pep molded all those years ago, and I think internally also with more and more personnel we have now not suited to it even Koeman has to realize this now. Wijnaldum is the type of guy we need to transition to direct and pressing football. |

Can we take a break about FUN token for a bit?  Has anyone gotten their winnings from the BTC price prediction by Feb. 28 event? If none, how long does it usually take before they are credited to your account? Agreed. You're into it or you're not, but maybe it's more exciting to talk about the actual things still going on as usual at FBC  I've not put in many predictions of late due to price being impossible to see in terms of wild swings. Also, seems like more and more of my WoF prizes are going to lottery tickets these days. Which is okay, as long as I win one of them again soon:P Everyone enjoy the temporary dip to near $40k? |

I think, and don't hit me for it, we're actually still in the denial stage. We are still not yet in mainstream adoption, remember. And people are still saying BTC is a bubble, a ponzi, a scam etc. And still regulators prefer to focus on it being a criminal currency, and unstable one and even one bad for the environment. Doesn't this all sounds like very strong denials? |

Since everyone seems to be saying avoid Real Madrid, I'm thinking of putting a small bet on them to win another game 1:0 or 2:0 max. Sociedad's a really good team, I don't mind to say, but they're still playing away and still also on normal times can't find a way to win.
Draw is probably the most obvious result but I smell a goal from Real.

Network for rich guys so I am a rich guy? BSC is the network for rich people who can afford buying overpriced supermarket loyalty coins that are premined and just keep bloating in supply or randomly burnt.
Who are we kidding when we come to the point BSC is the better choice than Ethereum?

I hope the current bearish trend will end in March, if we look at the strong support price at $ 45k. It makes sense that the price of Bitcoin can
suddenly increase in March, especially since many institutions have decided to invest in Bitcoin.
I'm not concerned about when it'll end, I'm concerned more about when the bullish trend will end. If it only lasts a few more weeks or months, then it'll be quite a difficult thing to comprehend for Bitcoin, where there is no more big rally to look forward to and the ATH was only almost 3x the old one. |

*The bull run doesn't end, the bull run just breaks for a moment 'lol'...
I've known Bitcoin for almost 4 years and conditions like this are definitely a Bitcoin habit. it is too boring to be in the market if the price of cryptocurrency continues to rise, it needs market correction so that investors and traders can take opportunities to buy or sell. The new ATH will happen again.
People can't be happy. If Bitcoin keeps going up in 20% daily hikes, people are happy. But if BTC loses 10% in a day then they scream about unfair manipulation from whales and what not. And if things stay sideways they say there's no more opportunity to trade so they go for leverage and then get caught when volatility suddenly makes a comeback. Humans, man, and especially in crypto! |

not all defis, for example CurveDAO is diving..
~58.000-39% is exactly 35,3k USD; 29% is 41,1k USD So I think we reach a bottom between these numbers...
What will be altcoins reaction depends how volatile price movement will be - will it be rather straitgh move, or ups and downs zigzags...
If we will have rather stable decrease alts should take advantage
Yeah, true, not all defis, but I hardly really track them all (some are actually going higher but all of them are so manipulable I don't give them much thought). I think your estimates are pretty solid TBH, 35k I personally think will be breached to maybe 32k even but it will be a flash touch, mainly 35k to be the true bottom on most platforms. Alts definitely poised. |

Well dude, just imagine that you have an environment with many people, girls who bring you food and drinks that you want, and the game is identical as in Bitcasino.io, what you have to do is have a wine or whiskey, some chops, broaster chicken wings and play, this is how you can recreate it ... you'll get an idea what it's like ...
LOL really? I mean yeah, as I can remember from movies, many people, girls (and boys if you're a woman) taking your orders and giving you all sorts of snacks and champagne for free. But like I said, very different from the type of casinos we can get here. Especially near the borders we do have some underground places and you do have a LOT of people even girls but no servers no food just snacks you pay for. In the paid casinos, a lot of girls but mainly retired people:) Definitely live casino here looks 10x more plush! |

One of the most pointless questions to ask IMHO.
Bitcoin CAN replace banks if everyone in the world has internet, has a mobile phone that can open a wallet, and can easily buy and sell BTC if they need it. But we know they can't.
And if everyone can borrow money and use BTC as collateral with smart contract defi? Possible for a tiny few people who know how to use, but even less possible for most of the socalled out of reach people.
So, sorry, Bitcoin can't. But so what?

It does have some utility because FB is using it, but still the question is why. What's it accomplish you can't do with bitcoin already? That's the crucial difference. It's like how JD used/uses CLAMS. (Dunno if they still do, haven't followed that site in a long time.) But that's another instance where CLAMS was a worthless coin, but it gained utility because it was the only coin JD would take for gambling. The use-case for the coin outside that site was virtually 0 though, and the overall question remained, why that coin specifically? It wasn't doing anything you couldn't do with bitcoin, so it was just useless differentiation.
And I've done the calculations on FUN and took a pass on it because I didn't deem it a worthwhile investment, based solely on the math. Everyone has to make their own determination about that though.
^It's just an additional way to earn more rewards, without using up the BTC on account (which the owners obviously want people to gamble with as much as possible, or to buy lottery tickets and golden tickets etc). And now, that they own it outright, they also obviously want to show others that FUN can have a real utility for a website with thousand of users. Maybe other sites start using it (since it's big already and easily gotten on liquid markets). |
