6061  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Christie’s Auction House Sells NFT Crypto Art ‘Block 21’ for Over $130K on: October 09, 2020, 07:31:05 AM
The concept is very interesting and I like the way it's depicted but the price is much too high for me.

I don't think it's worth that much but art is worth as much as someone wants to pay for it so if someone feels like it's 130 thousand USD than it's the artist's big win.
As for me, the artwork is not yet expensive, it happens like that to many art works, there are many artworks that are so much expensive than this one, with time the artwork will be increasing price. I like artworks for one thing, the person that buys it will want to sell it with higher price, artworks are appreciating assets.

you cant fake fiat currency and if you do you got problems with law.
how we know the btc and crypto is not faked...it means the creators can create any ammount of crypto as they want as there is no law to legit forces to check over btc and crypto creators
Be deceiving yourself, or maybe you need correction, well that is why you bring it up here. In fiats, people spend fake money, I was given one some days ago, that is why physical fiats can be fake. Unlike bitcoin, only 21 million bitcoin is existing, in a way no new ones can be created except the 21 million, nothing like spending fake bitcoin, it is not possible because no fake bitcoin is existing.
6063  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People Say btc is Not ponzi but its look like ponzi on: October 07, 2020, 09:02:24 AM
I will like people to go through this quote I posted sometimes ago on this forum, it really proves the differences between ponzi and bitcoin, it makes people to know those saying bitcoin is a ponzi are speaking out of sense and making no valid point.



1. Bitcoin is decentralized, all ponzi scheme are centralized

2. Bitcoin is not selling any fake product or service, it is completely transparent.

3. Bitcoin is over 10 years now but has never failed, the future even seem brighter than now, ponzi can not last up to 10 years.

4. Bitcoin was even portrayed on wikipedia to be for scammers, but this changed, and was portrayed good now.

5. Many goverments against bitcoin before but now they accept bitcoin, there are even over 7000 bitcoin ATMs in the world now, and bitcoin is used for trnasactions like fiats, even used as payment on some online stores worldwide now.

6. The early investors gained, they were the developers but not in a way the late investors will lose, also many early investors sold bitcoin and makes it more realistic unlike ponzi that has nothing to sell. If you get the market right, there is always still profit in bitcoin.

7. Bitcoin is a very good and easy payment method acceptable in many countries now, has any ponzi been like this? No

8.
I think that we need to add another 8 items to this list, which is also important. A distinctive feature of the Ponzi scheme is that it sets a guaranteed profit for a certain period of time. There is no guaranteed profit in bitcoin: here everyone can get a profit if the price of BTC increases, but they can also get a loss if the price of bitcoin decreases.

There are many other reasons to talk about because these are only few, bitcoin is not a ponzi like bitcoin haters are depicting it, it is completely decentralized and transparent, people that want to invest now should not be discouraged, if they learn how the market fluctuates, they will gain but they should also be mindful of the risk. Bitcoin haters should stop misleading people about what bitcoin is because they know nothing about bitcoin. 

I hope this is more than evidences that bitcoin is not a ponzi, I have thought about it very well and I know bitcoin is never a ponzi, bitcoin is transparent to the world but ponzi is hidden and a business that makes use of it are shady.
6064  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: IOCTA 2020 – Internet Organized Crime Threat Assessment (Europol) on: October 06, 2020, 08:29:33 PM
This has been a recurring discussion for some time now; the increasing consequence of seeking privacy while using cryptocurrency. If more users of Bitcoin shifted away from centralized platforms, government agencies would not have a link that they can regulate.
Most users patronize CEXes for the liquidity and the convenience it offers as there is not enough P2P platforms to cater for global transactions. DEXes can offer such liquidity if more traders used it, but it is still somewhat regulated and can be shut down by governments or forced to request user information to operate.
I would also expect a lot more regulations as various governments consider establishing their CBDCs to control the digital market.
These are good points, centralized exchanges are more used by people, the centralized exchanges are hacked always. The best in term of hack proof are decentralized exchanges but people are not using it like cex, the main reason for this is because cex are flexible in trading orders while people do not still know about cex exchange that are hacked all the time, likely another one will be hacked before next year. For me I can not make use of cex because of the hack activities, I will prefer to buy using p2p and use the recommended wallet which is open-source non-custodial wallets having my privacy.
6065  Economy / Speculation / Re: Small dip in BTC price after Trump stimulus tweet on: October 06, 2020, 07:32:03 PM
The fall in the bitcoin price so far is not much, I do not think this should be a matter of discussion, assuming the price really dropped, it would have attract analysts. I do not think the fall is as a result of Trump's tweet at all. Bitcoin have been moving in this prices trends for months now, it should not be any surprise at all, bitcoin is still doing well with a support at $10000.
6066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: English Premier League Season: 2020/2021 on: October 06, 2020, 11:50:39 AM
They definitely can not claim a single player was the reason for their yesterday lost, even Klopp accept the defeat but if the Premier League continue like this the club we least expected maybe the winner of this year premier league. However, Everton is topping the table now and I hope they wont defeat Liverpool in the match day 5 game.
It was a very great defeat as Aston Villa trashed Liverpool, it was away match for Liverpool but the victory seemed flawless. Let us expected good outcomes in the next matches, Aston Villa have good team for now and I hope they will play good in their next matches. The season is still new, all clubs are performing to be the best, new seasons use to be like this but with time, the club that will win the EPL this season will surface out.
6067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: During The Last U.S Presidential Debate Bitcoin Price Was Only $630 on: October 05, 2020, 12:25:51 PM
This has just be the beginning of bitcoin, the price will still increase beyond what we are expecting, there will be a time bitcoin will worth $100,000, but that day can still be far from now, people are getting to know bitcoin while with time more people will deal with it, buy it, hold it and be trading it.

This have nothing to deal with presidential election but it seems that as the last three presidential elections were in the year bitcoin
has  halved so far, that could be the reason why it is referred to but there is nothing bitcoin price has to do with presidential election. But it is good to know that more people will still buy and trade bitcoin while the price will continue to increase.

Ahhh! In that case I'd also recommend bookmarking the real site and taking your computer offline before putting in any sensitive information anywhere (Cross site scripting and accidental back doors are always a problem even with legit sites).
The legit site has its guide on offline usages but I am sure many newbies don't care to read the part or they even don't care to scroll down computer mouse to read all information and guides on the site.

As an offline reminder for all:

Offline Usage

You can use this tool without having to be online.

Double-click that file to open it in a browser on any offline computer.

Alternatively, download the file from the repository - https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39
The site can not be used to generate seed phrase, also why is it mimicking Iamcoleman with the same version (v0.4.3). I will advise people not to use the site.

Did you see what sorts of seeds it was generating?
I checked the site some minutes ago, it can not be used to generate new seed phrase, you can only input your existing seed phrase on the site, which means it will only be used to hack private keys and seed phrase, it is definitely a site for hackers. Although, it is proving to work offline but I do not believe this, it will have a kind of malicious malware.

A VILLA - LIVERPOOL 5-1

WTF is happening today?  Grin
The results is now 6-2 with Aston Villa leading, I do not think Liverpool will be able to recover, today has just been a bad day for those that depends on those big clubs in EPL.

Today's matches are very surprising but let us watch what will end the game.

6073  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: [Guide] How to trade on Uniswap using Metamask (Android). on: October 04, 2020, 06:31:19 PM
It is not only about how to trade on Uniswap that matters, there are mistakes that people can make on the exchange. To know more about Uniswap exchange, this will be helpful https://www.google.com/amp/s/boxmining.com/uniswap-review-tutorial/%3famp.


Fake coins: Anyone can list their tokens on Uniswap, so there are people out there who list fake coins on Uniswap in the hopes of being able to scam people into sending their funds for these coins. So Uniswap users need to be extra careful in this respect- see our section below on identifying and avoiding fake coins on Uniswap which teaches you how to double-check you are sending funds to the correct transaction.

Fake coins on Uniswap: How to identify and avoid them
Because any coin can be added to Uniswap, there are lots of scam or fake coins on the Exchange. Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible, so if you accidentally send your funds to buy these scam coins or tokens you will not be refunded. The logo and ticker of these fake coins can look exactly like the real ones, so you need to be careful.

You can verify if the coin or token is real by checking it on Coingecko. To do this, look up the coin or token you want to exchange to on Coingecko, at the bottom of the page find and click on the trading pair for Uniswap (see image on left). You will then automatically be taken back to Uniswap and the token will have been imported (see image on right).


Import token on Uniswap


Another way to verify that the token is genuine is to check it on Etherscan (see below). Again on Coingecko, find the token and click on the etherscan.io explorer. On the Etherscan window, you will be able to see the contract number for the token. Match this contract number with the number in the address bar in your web browser for Uniswap.


Check the token number on Etherscan against the number in your Uniswap browser.

Warning: Do NOT search for the token or its address on Etherscan. Always link to Etherscan via Coingecko or the project’s official website. This is because Etherscan itself lets you search for all tokens and transactions on the blockchain, including the fake ones.

Wallets that are supported for now
Uniswap allows users to connect directly to their Exchange, the following wallets are supported: MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, Fortmatic and Portis. I will prefer Mastermask wallet because it is non-custodail wallet type.

Nice play, Arsenal, but the game was tough, English premier league is not just a league, all the clubs are really trying and they are giving themselves difficult time.

6075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: October 04, 2020, 08:33:22 AM
It's sad for Manchester City can only collect 4 points from 3 matches in the Premier League. If we see Manchester City's game is not bad,
it's just that the competition in the Premier League is indeed tough compared to other European Leagues. So it is not wrong to call the
Premier League the best Football League in the world. The next test in two weeks from now  Manchester City will face Arsenal, if they fail
to win, will be further behind Liverpool.
Well, Man city can be playing good, but it is not about playing good alone, it is more about winning. If they continue to lose, it will not make Man city fan to be happy. No matter how competitive a league should be, there are some strongest. Okay, look at the EPL clubs so far, Leicester, Everton and Liverpool have been doing great. Man city has not been playing as expected. It is not about trying but about winning.

Today's matches are going to be tough and surprising but I believe Leicester will try their possible to have their fourth win, also Liverpool should try. But, I strongly go for Leicester city.

At least, Real Betis won the match, this has been their 3 win while they lost 2. This also makes Betis to be on top of the table. Although some clubs like Barcelona have not lost but only played 2 matches yet, while some like Real Madrid have only palyed 3 matches so far.

Valencia is the undeniable favorite for this game in my opinion.
They have a better team and on top of that they are playing on their home.
I am going to bet for their win as the odd seem very attracting to me and combined with a parlay it can give good profit.
With what the match is predicting itself, likely betis may win the game. The match is more likely to be won by betis. Check the stat...

Result:

Leeds United 1-1 Manchester City

Leeds are playing great football for a team that was promoted to the EPL weeks ago, they took an important point in this game. As for Manchester City they are falling further behind the teams at the top of the league.
Normally Leeds city can be trying their best, but they should not be a threat for Man City to have their 6 points, both home and away matches. But, the case is now different with Man City drawing the away match. Ever since the start of this season, Man City have not been in the position they should be but only won only 1 match, lost 1 and drew 1 so far. But, let us still expect the best from Man City probably. The clubs that have been surprising me so far now are Liverpool, Everton and Leicester city with them winnimg all their first three matches, although Everton has won its 4th match today which was a very good play from them.
