This is not the first time that we have countries like Venezuela take advantage of bitcoin, not only to circumvent sanctions against them, but to survived, as their Bolivar is turning to be just 'mickey mouse' money. And probably not the last, perhaps Africa as well will be the next to squeeze bitcoin in their daily lives.
6562  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Eto na! nagsisimula na! on: December 12, 2020, 10:46:50 PM
Actually di sya stable sa $18.2K, anlaki pa rin ng pagbabago. Mas malaki din ang pagbaba kesa sa pag angat. Napansin ko na mukha di pa rin nagkakaroon ng correction. Anytime babagsak ang presyo. Mukha pinaglalaruan ng whales ang presyo para madala ang emosyon ng traders. Pero still hopeful pa rin na aangat ang presyo yun nga lang di na ako naheexpect na maabot ang ATH.

May ilang mga trading sites na nakapag tala ng ATH ngayong taon para sa Bitcoin, but I think the most reliable source na pwede nating pag basehan talaga ay ang CMC, I'm not sure kung anong algorithm or saang API nila kinukuha ang mga list of price ng cryptocurrency, but there's a possibility na median prices na ang nakikita natin. At base doon, hindi talaga natin nalampasan ang ATH noong 2017, but still, may mga natitirang araw pa naman ngayong holiday at possible na mag bago pa ang takbo ng market dahil sa panahon ngayon, napaka unpredictable ni BTC.

Sa pagkakaalam ko sa CMC methodology, aggregate ang ginagawa nila para makuha ang average ng presyo ng bitcoin. Kaya yung pooling ng price eh sabi ng iba ay flaw na katulad ng makikita natin sa CMC. Kaya may pagtatalo parin kung talaga bang nakuha natin ang bagong ATH ba talaga o hindi.

Hindi talaga magiging stable ang price ng BTC, tingnan mo na lang nitong mga nakaraang araw, pumalo pa na mababa sa $$18k, tingnan natin ngayon eh halos mag $19k na naman.
6563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Moloney vs Franco III: Ordered by WBA (No date yet) on: December 12, 2020, 01:12:27 PM
Finally, WBA has ordered a trilogy for Moloney vs France to happened in 30 days or the fight will be called to purse bids. Moloney and his legal team with the help of Bob Arum filed NSAC. If you are not aware of, the second fight ended as No Contest with Franco retaining the belt he won against Moloney because of accidental head butt. But the replay shows that there are no illegal plays, it was the jab of Moloney that cause the swelling on France right eye, and it was very clear that this is a robbery.



https://www.boxingscene.com/franco-vs-moloney-wba-orders-trilogy-fight--153927

@bisdak40 - we will finally see the fight happening again. hehehe
This is going to be one hell of a fight. I will update this thread if there is a final date of the fight.

Here's the full weigh in video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYw8kGeSZ_Q

I agree, there's no pushing whatsoever and no disrespect, actually we can see the Pulev when he removed his face mask was just laughing his ass off. I wouldn't say that it was intense, just probably two boxers wanted to bring more hype. In the first place, they shouldn't allow this two to get closer to each other.  Grin

Even Arum, Pulev's manager says that Pulev will knock out AJ, Lol, it's this a sign that they are going to duck AJ when we won tomorrow? (Fury is also under Bob management).
6566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 on: December 11, 2020, 11:59:04 PM
Floyd's real fans are though people buying tickets and PPV just wanting to see him lose, but it ain't happening as Floyd hasn't lost, not this exhibition match. So I doubt that his real hard core fans are going to buy tickets because they know that their boy are going to win, for all the fun fare of this fight with a Youtube sensation, not a true boxer.
What do you want from Floyd? It seems that this person has never hidden and does not hide that he is engaged exclusively in earning money, especially since the official career of Boxing is already over. I assure you that if any future fight is threatened with a potential loss, Floyd will refuse this option because the entire advertising campaign is based on the absence of losses. So now there will be all sorts of bloggers and kickboxers in the competition according to the rules of Boxing.

Of course, we never really care if he is after the money or not, but they making boxing joke with this kind of exhibitions. Even WBC President Sulaiman is a joke and corrupt as well by allowing this kind of fight and giving it the blessing. I'm sorry but I disagree that losses is bad in the record, Ali has many losses but considered a GOAT, Manny Pacquaio is still the sweepstakes in welterweight division and everyone wanted to fight him despite his lost to Floyd. Don't go here and talk about rules of boxing, lol.

I have to check the IOST platform connection though, yeah I know it's weird as to where CMC got that.

And yes, it has stood the test of time, and I'm sure if will continue to exists in crypto market and it is one of the prime movers as well, similar to bitcoin it's just it didn't got any traction. Another one worth to mention is Peercoin (PPC).  Smiley
6568  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Warning: Bustabit phishing site on: December 11, 2020, 11:12:15 PM
Before there was Roobet and now Bustabit, I think scammers are targeting to copy known casino's website and get the credentials. This could be really dangerous for players who are not aware of the website and doesn't bother time checking the URL mostly are newbies luckily the OP managed to spot this website.

For obvious reasons, there could be two set of scammers here, and we have groups that specifically target crypto related online games and perhaps there's also targeted fiat online games as well. And also, there's a lot of money involved that's why scammers will make their way into created similar looking sites to trap their victims.  The Roobet find and this one is just a tip of the iceberg, there could be more that we need to discover and reported.
6569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Awards 2020 Edition on: December 11, 2020, 01:09:29 PM
Fighter of the year - Lopez,due to the level of opposition in Loma. Who would have think that the latter would lose that fight.

Knockout of the year - Povetkin vs Whyte

Fight of the year - Fury vs Wilder 2.



@Baofeng, can you add "Robbery of the Year award" bro? Smiley

If there is i would nominate Moloney vs Franco 2. The officials of that fight did have the benefit of a review but they seem blind not to see that there is no headbutt on that fight and rule the fight a "no contest" robbing Moloney of that championship belt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymQbUyYW0JI

Watch ^^ and you be the judge.

Lol, you beat me too it buddy, I was just watching that fight again and wanted to add that to our very own boxing awards. Yes, referee Mora made a big mistake on the call. I was also thinking of adding "Comeback fighter of the year", but it is obvious that Spence will take that award.

Looks like Lopez is the sure winner for fighter of the year base votes because of the strength of his domination of Loma.

Bitcoin has proved it once again that it's the key player in the world of crypto and prices of altcoins depends of bitcoin, we witnessed it yesterday wherein bitcoin's value dropped which caused huge fluctuations in the value of altcoins and even drove altcoins to red zone but when Bitcoin quickly regained the value he altcoin market got steady.

Of course if not all, majority of altcoins is paired with bitcoin. So obviously, bitcoin is the measuring stick of all crypto coins. People really don't understand that altcoin market is more volatile than bitcoin, and they think that they can make quick and big money in altcoin, yes it's true, there is this pump-and-dump method in altcoin. But if you are not that careful, chances are you are going to lose your money very fast as well. And just observed that we are near all time high, or as others have said, we have reach in already. But look at the top 10 altcoins, most of the are not even close to 50% of their previous all time highs.

Interesting how did you found this fake site, just randomly browsing or searching for specific thing in the search engines? I tried with google to search for Trust Wallet Beta but I cound't find hit on that one. Maybe they have already removed it.

Thye are everywhere, Youtube, Twitter, Discord, 4chan social media sites.  Smiley.

Thanks mate, really appreciate coming from you.
6573  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin bullrun & Altoin bear market on: December 09, 2020, 10:57:19 PM
Is it possible to have Bitcoin bullrun wherein altcoin continues to trend in red, we have witnessed that altcoins has been falling from grace in last few days wherein Bitcoin is steady (apart from today's dump) and heading towards $20k to set a new landmark. I am discussing about top altcoins here wherein we should not be considering coins with low volume which is manipulated consecutively.

It's possible, when altcoin whales and investors suddenly shift to bitcoin because that is where the money is. I don't think it will be sustainable though. as far as I can remember, when we have a bull run in 2017, the dominance of bitcoin is around 40%-50%. But currently we are way above at 60%. So it's a long way to go to see this kind of scenario, it could happen though when bitcoin really goes on dramatic rise in the coming months.

6575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 on: December 09, 2020, 09:39:41 PM
As a youtube blogger, Logan Paul probably will put a a camera to his helmet to stream live pov of of his defeat.
He will 200% advertise something during his fight video. This will bring him millions, despite getting something from sponsors. Btw Floyd should also start his youtube channel.
Lol... You are beyond imagination, mate. It would be go flying around if Paul Logan put something like that on his head.
Since it's an exhibition match, of course, advertising is everywhere plus their shorts is full of brands already. But I doubt about the views though since everyone knew who's gonna win but still we can't deny that Mayweather and Logan had some real fans so maybe there will be a million views.

Floyd's real fans are though people buying tickets and PPV just wanting to see him lose, but it ain't happening as Floyd hasn't lost, not this exhibition match. So I doubt that his real hard core fans are going to buy tickets because they know that their boy are going to win, for all the fun fare of this fight with a Youtube sensation, not a true boxer.

It just came out of my curiosity, I know I can simply do a research for this but I think it's also good to talk about it here in this forum since I think we all came here to be educated and gain more knowledge about Bitcoin and other cryptos. Aside from Africa of course, What are the other governments that has aside from legalizing Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are actually using the technology of Blockchain and Bitcoin to give their economy a bigger boost? I mean, it's a good idea to legalize it and give people the freedom but I haven't seen other governments on stepping up and making good use of crypto to actually boost the economy of their country.

Here's one, the Government of Canada,

And since many countries have been implementing electronic voting, it has been viewed that blockchain technology can be used as well in this electoral process.

Namecoin Core Name Renew GUI

Namecoin Core Name Renew GUI

Dec 5, 2020 • Jeremy Rand

Now that Namecoin Core’s name_list GUI is merged to master branch (it’ll be in the v22.0 release!), it’s time to move on to renewing names. As with the name_list GUI, I’m trying to follow the principles of (1) keeping PR’s small, and (2) keeping all the interesting logic in the RPC method rather than the GUI.

In service of principle 1, I’m not touching the “Configure Name” GUI, nor am I touching the “Renew Name” button; this only adds the right-click context menu for renewing names. In service of principle 2, yanmaani has done the excellent work of adding a renew mode to the name_update RPC method, which simplifies the GUI logic considerably.

https://www.namecoin.org/2020/12/05/namecoin-core-name-renew-gui.html

So they are still much very active this 2020, https://www.namecoin.org/news/, lots of things going on behind.


Historically, it started as a discussion about BitDNS->Namecoin

6578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia IBF & WBC Welterweight Title on: December 09, 2020, 05:50:49 PM
Ok so he is back, show flashes of his old self in beating a plodding Danny Garcia, Lol. But to be honest, it's a win, but I'm not impressed though of Spence. I think if he and Crawford will fight next year, definitely, I will go for Crawford. Both has sharp jab, but what separates is that Crawford is somewhat a cerebral fighter, and has a good timing. Anyhow, we all wanted both of them next year in the right and prove who is the best 147 lbs right now. Winner fights Manny, for all the glory and their biggest pay check of their carrier.

Not that much impressive but still a win indeed. Watching the fight with lots of defensive style, not much of explosive change of
punch, just normal one that fans will wait for the final announcement.

With what you mentioned regarding to the next possible fight against Crawford, that might be the challenged for Spence how he'll
counter those punches that Crawford will throw.

We will enjoy that one as it's probably one of the biggest if not the biggest next year. However, we need both camps to agree as their undefeated record is at stake here, but I think it's already due, they'll make big money for that risk, so it's worth the risk.

The only road block for this mega fight is the promoter. I don't know if you guys have read what Bob Arum has said on Crawford's win against Brook, that Bud is hard to promote, I will not be surprised if Crawford will not re-sign with Top Rank next year after his contract expires and he will move to PBC.

If that happens then we are going to see Crawford vs Spence or any of the top welterweights under PBC.

paxful scam alert
Do not use PAXFUL it is a Scammer site.
Paxful is SCAM!
Beware from Paxful Scams
!SCAM 🚨! Paxful Today Stoles 0.98 BTC!

So in any case, one should be careful about this platform, the OP hadn't had any bad experience yet, but it doesn't that it is safe for everyone.

Don't they analysis app before approving it on playstore anymore 😩, or they just approve it to tarnish crypto it self what really happening?
 Let be careful when picking a Wallet to avoid fraud or loss of assets.

It's obvious that Google doesn't care much what apps are going to be approved and available on their store. And that's the difference between them and Apple, which is very strict thats' why we seldom hear any malicious apps getting into their apps store. So everyone should really do our due diligence when trying to download apps in Play store specially with regards to crypto wallets as we don't want to be the next victim by these criminals.
