Today we have first upset of this Tournament Tsitsipas lost against very talented young Russian Roblev he was on fire and done great job he never allows his opponent to comeback in match now Thiem is also struggling and lost first set and broken in third set look like he can win but need some hard work for his first win of this tournament.
I have lost one of my favorite. I was following the score but not watching the match. I saw his 2 - 1 down but thought he will come back. He was in this kind of situations for numerous times. But Rublev seems did not give him time to breath. In the other match my man Theim seems losing the match too! 5 - 2 down in the 4th set and he is already 2 - 1 set down!! This is not a good start for my favs. Oh well, you know that Tsitsipas is my boy here, tough draw for him, Rublev is in best shape coming off from injury, so I'm not surprise by his win. Although I lost my bet here, I would say that it's worth it because the match was truly classic, as Tsitsipas was really cramping and try his best. Amazing match but only one man should win, so hats off to Rublev. He also upset Dominic Thiem in Hamburg and we all know that he beat Federer in Cincinnati Open. Thiem did succumb to Fabbiano, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. The same guy who also beat Tsitsipas on the first round at Wimbledon. Lots of upsets and it's going to be a crazy US Open this year.  These upsets just open up the door for the big three to win it once again unless we see an upset from an up and comer that happens to beat one of the big three. I think Tsitsipas has lost he's way in the past few months and I think time off might do him some good and get ready for a better year next year. Maybe he has burnt himself out early on as that's when he was in top form challenging the top players and making it into the finals but in recent months he's form has dropped off which can be expected from a young player. I'm currently watching Nadal v Millman as it just started. Tsitsipas is still young so he shouldn't rush thing so I agree that he needed some time to re-evaluate. Although we wanted to see potential players to succeed in the future, sometimes its better to take some time off and rest their body to heal. 2018 was a big year for him that's why I predicted good things to happen in 2019 but so far we haven't witnessed something spectacular. Maybe he is really pushing himself to the limit that's why he got burnt out this year. Khachanov is fighting to win as well against Pospisil. Tsonga is also out. Zverev was forced to a 5 set win. |

But the thing is that you are forced to hold 2000 NULS here? I guess this is still on the experimental stage so there's no success rate as of today. So I'm still a bit skeptics of this whole staking business model. It still depends on which project NULS are going to partnered with, currently its Aleph, so if Aleph became successful on the future, then definitely it's worth to hold and bag NULS. You also have the option to received Aleph tokens. But the big question is what happens if Aleph failed as a project? I looked into this a bit and it looks like NULS SCO is currently only working with Chinese projects. This would be a great idea to watch and see what happens until it rolls out in the US
What work in China might not work in US soil. |

I really think these IEO thing is only good for the top exchanges and these is because they have the liquidity and the traders to pump a coin after listing, which is why their IEO projects are usually successful.
But the smaller exchange don't have the same and their IEO success rate is no way near the top exchanges. Maybe 2 out of 10 IEOs conducted on the small exchanges would succeed, while top exchanges boast of a success rate of like 9 out of 10.
What do you expect? Big exchanges started this trend of IEO's launchpad that's why it really took the market by storm and could kill the ICO business model. And the good thing is that investors money is somewhat safe here, because the likelihood of big exchanges running scam projects are slim to none. For smaller exchanges, it boils down to trust, we might seen some smaller exchanges that can put up a challenge if they run a successful IEO because it could result to a "trust". We all know that this is a cutt throat business, if you are small then you have to think big in order to survived. |

I think psychological trading is very prevalent in this market. I'm sure everyone heard about FOMO - this is a classic example of psychological trading. On the other hand, if we are just going to based our strategy on this one, it could backfire on us big time. So for me, it has disadvantages as well. Crypto trading is really very different from traditional approach. We still need to have TA on our side to look for potential break outs in prices. So it's going to be a lot of factors combine that really move this market, news, whales, overall sentiments. So I don't think that Psychological Analysis alone can make the difference here, IMHO.

Major cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced that it will offer a lifetime VIP membership to all its users affected by the recent Know Your Customer (KYC) images leak on the platform. https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-offers-lifetime-vip-membership-to-kyc-leak-victimsBinance trying to get off the hook in the cheapest way possible, if I was one of those who had been victims for this hack, i wouldn't agree on this so easily. Cheap tradings traded for my leaked ID papers, no way. It really gives me a good chuckle here. what the hell is this kind of offer? They really damage their reputation big time and if I'm one of the victims here, I will definitely go and sue them in court for that data breach. This so called lifetime ViP membership is crap, sadly though Binance is shield from this. I mean if you wanted to pursue them, they are hiding somewhere we even don't know. So I felt sorry for those who became victim of their negligence. |

There are still new coins in the market being launched and we have seen how profitable it is if you are one of its early investors, but that was 2014 to 2017, today the scenario is very much different.
Yep that is correct, today's scenario is very different. And I find it very interesting that there are still noobs who are looking for a coin that will bring them back huge profit when we all know that investors are very choosy at this point and not just throwing their money in this market. A new study comes out that Bitcoin dominance has reached 90% and this could only mean that new and existing altcoins are going to die or will be gone in the market sooner or later.
Are you still looking for a new coin or coins in the ICO/IEO stage if Bitcoin dominance has already reached 90%
Existing coins, specially those who have a huge tokens in circulation could eventually die if Bitcoin tops 90% dominance. But I don't think that wise investors are going to stop investing in ICO/IEO. Market is open and free and there's, it one coin die, another one will pop up and will build hype and will generate money. It still boils down to the marketing strategy of coins being born eventhough that Bitcoin is obviously the best asset out there at that time. |

Also the connection is not secure, try to add SSL here.
@Docnaster - Got the same feel here, It's like going back to late 90's when internet was not a crazy thing yet. However, I've seen this kind of design when I was doing SEO work around 2010 as well, when people starting to use this technique of submitting your article to different directories to get backlinks.

A friend of mine who is a holder of ethereum and xrp once told me he has lost confidence in the altcoins because it has nothing to offer and the altcoins always follow the suit of btc. The rate at which it is going down has brought fear to him. And I believe he is not tge only one thinking tge same way. If we are to open a floor for people to share their experiences and thought about altcoins, you will be amazed. But one thing I always tell him and I believe it goes for all those who share the same thought with my friend is that never lose confidence. This is not the first time altcoin market has done this. There is good days ahead and the market shows. I believe this is the time to buy and hodl more of altcoins like eth and xrp. Enjoy it while it last because it may be too late some days ahead.
Your friend has a valid reason to fear what's going on with the altcoin market. After all the price of Bitcoin has somewhat recovered from the debacle of 2018. And yet why are the altcoin market is still bleeding and not follow the trend of Bitcoin? The only thing that I can think of is that there are many people who have lost confidence of most of the altcoins, even XRP and ETH because it seems it can't even get to where investors are expecting it to be at this point. In a nutshell, never be fooled by the market today. Look at the bigger picture and hodl for the future. Altcoins all tge way. I am for altcoins.
Of course, we need to think positive here and be patience on the altcoin market. I'm sure majority ouf us here has not seen how bleak altcoin would still be in 2019. So be optimistic and look for the long term benefit we can get from it in the next two or maybe three years down the road. |

For now, you can buy Bitcoin at any price and the only way to becoming wealthy is to hold for the long term. Time is coming maybe the next two to three years when you will see Bitcoin above $100,000. We have seen much discussion about Bitcoin now all over the Internet and media's houses are running documentary about bitcoin now than before and all this is going to be transmitted into good price some years from now.
I would say the media is still biased against Bitcoin or crypto in general. This has been the state of crypto journalism, we have seen a lot of not so good news coming from them and not even verifying the source. So I wouldn't factor media as contributory to the cause of crypto rising in the next two to three years. I would say the people around the world see Bitcoin as one good asset that is why up to this year we are still performing better, much better as compare to the altcoin market. |

Bitcoin is the only coin that has dominated more than half the total crypto market. So I think it is logical that people prefer bitcoin more than altcoins. There are many reasons behind bitcoin crushing altcoins. Many people still understand bitcoin when it comes to cryptocurrency. So I think bitcoin will continue dominating altcoins.
It is still in the top because they know that Bitcoin has the potential to get down huge profit. How many are bagholders around, still not selling their coins and would only liquidate when the price hits $100,000. That's why resilient those early adopters are. And even at it's 10 years of existence it remain as the best crypto asset so far and no altcoin are going to touch Bitcoin for the next 10 years. Altcoins will come and go but Bitcoin will remain and will continue to dominate crypto sphere no matter what negative things media are going to say about it. |

Moreover, even mixers nowadays has been shut down already, that's how powerful and strong the government is when it comes to implementation.
Not all mixers, there are still mixers that are operating but the way I see it, mixers are more use on illegal activities than using it for privacy purpose. I believe, government does not like mixers because they it's against the anti money laundering law, and based on what I observed, the government are requiring every business involve in handling cash transactions to impose KYC requirement to the site, mixers does not as it will defeat its purpose. We have seen two mixing services closing in a span of about a week in May if I'm not mistaken. So definitely authorities are already knocking on the door of mixing services still standing today. So it's going to be a cat and mouse game for tumbling operators, other might cave in and just shut down because of too much pressures from the government. And for those we wish to stand and fight, then it's going to be a uphill battle for them. |

don't rely on gift tokens because that will only bore you and not to mention you have to wait for them to be listed on the exchange or at least until they have a sale price to make up for your hard work.
I suggest balancing your time with other things you can do in this market and I think there are many ways to make a profit besides a prize campaign. I say this because I also feel bored with them and what I produce from gift tokens does not produce sweet fruit.
at this time I balance with trading, how about you?
You only have once choice here if you don't want to be a bounty hunter and that is to do trading. You are correct when you say that we shouldn't rely on tokens we got from bounty because history tells us that project takes time to list their token on exchange for whatever reason, and this is the number complain of bounty hunters. But most of the time, people doesn't want to learn trading and would rather work for months and years and wait for their bounty token and hope that they can make money of out it. Trading is a good option, its going to be a challenge in the beginning, specially if you don't know anything about it. And then the initial capital, so it really depends on the individual here, we have a choice so make the best out of it. |

That is interesting to read that Federer feels that he is at he's best in years coming into this years US Open. To be honest I wouldn't mind seeing him win it again as it has been over 10 years since he last won the US Open so it would be nice to see him win it maybe for the last time.
His mind set is really different and I think that is one factors that really sets him apart, and that winning attitude. He still challenges himself to be great every tournament and games, just like Tom Brady. Just like him, Tom even at 42, the competitive fire is still there and despite winning more trophies, both of them are hungrier. I would also like to see Roger win another US Open and that will be a feather in his cap if ever he retires. This is also interesting for Osaka, she won last year, but 2019 doesn't look good for her. And remember the umpire that worked last year between Osaka and Williams? He will not be working for either of the sister in this year's US Open. Federer always had an attitude of never giving up irrespective of the situation, you’ll never see him complain or make excuses for his loss. If he’s determined to win the US open then he may just win it too, even at this age he’s yet hungry for success and yet wishes to add to his trophy collection. @vella85 there’s no news about him retiring, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he turned up next year to play in this tournament. Yeah we are yet to hear if Federer will be retiring at the end of the year but going by the way he is talking I'm thinking that he will go on another year if he is fit and healthy. I personally would love to see him win another Grand Slam before he retires as he deserves to win another one and go out on a high. I think he will go for another Grand Slam before he retires. Also, we haven't seen him slowing down, so I'm sure he will still chase for another Grand Slam and then see how his body will react till next year. He also master the art of taking his body and listening to it, that's why he was able to maintain his form and still perform at a high level. And it will be fitting for him to exit with a bang and raise another trophy. |

Till now, I have read many news from different people claiming they are Satoshi Nakamato.
We all know all of them are lying. But, What is the benefit of being Satoshi Nakamato? If there was any benefit the real Satoshi Nakamato would have appeared by now.
I think even if Satoshi Nakamoto is found, he/she will have trouble with governments and there will be no benefit.
I guess you can say that being the creator of Bitcoin would bring some pride and recognition amongst his peers. However, he/she/they chooses to stay anonymous and hidden from us. So obviously he/she/they doesn't want any fame or glory for being the creator of Bitcoin that we have been enjoying for the last ten years or so. He chooses to disappear from the limelight and I doubt that governments are trying to pursue him though. For crypto enthusiast, there have been a lot of actors around claiming to be Satoshi, but we all know that they are all fraud, i.e. Craig Wright. |

It's China for God's sake, they already abandoned Bitcoin and chooses a lot of altcoins. They have a hate relationship on Bitcoin since 2017. As regards for their Digital Fiat, obviously it's not crypto and it functions like Libra coin, fully centralise with government back-up. So that alone doesn't fit the definition of crypto in my book. But that is ok, we know where China is coming from, they won't allow their people to have full control and freedom from within that Bitcoin gives. So they have to find a way to satisfy the Chinese people but at the same time, gain back the control. And besides, we haven't seen a "crypto' that is back up by the government succeeded so I guess history will decide.

Correct, and that right attitude really push Roger Federer to do his best and so far we have witnessed his greatness in the tennis court. Would love to see someone today, new players emulate how Roger did and copy his blue print for success. Yes, he is hungry as if he hasn't won any tournament yet, . These kind of winning attitude can be seen in other elite athlete like Tom Brady (which I mentioned) or even Michael Jordan, or Muhammad Ali in boxing. |

Finally there's no more doubts about this fight, Ruiz signed and we can expect this to happen. Is the venue which is in Saudi Arabia was already finalize too? Yes, according to the article, the fight is going to be held in Saudia Arabia. It also said that they have filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Andy Ruiz for not honoring the fight. But Ruiz sign the paper next day because I'm sure that he knows the repercussion of his actions and as I have said, the money is already in the talking why not sign the fight immediately? He can't do anything about the venue because they have a rematch clause and he sign it to yield total control to Hearn and Joshua for this fight. |

How do we explain the fact that news of the upcoming crisis made bitcoin drop unlike other store of value?
Was it some hacker dumping tons like last time?
Or it BTC simply not considered a SoV by the general public.
If it is not, how do we convince them that it is? Do we change our approach?
I do hope that you know that Bitcoin its a speculative assets, and as such, it is very volatile because it is based on demand. News sells here so if there are some negative news, the market will react. But the thing is, every negative news that we have seen in the past has a short term impact only. Store of value or as p2p, it doesn't matter, as long as people are willing to purchase and someone is willing to sell, the market will continue to move on. |
