Traditional but safer. I can live with that rather than putting so much risk into buying a new token. But if you do decide to go for it then just be sure it is one of the best.
I mean features of it should be inviting to the community so that it could hit the price target that you want.
A lot of tokens are out there, it is just tiring to look for a better one.

Barrage of threes.

DRose making threes? Whoa! He is taking his game to a higher level now. That accuracy. That miss on the last shot could be just 1 inch stronger.


Damn that man. MVP mode.

On their recent game, the pair of his clutch three during the last minute really surprised me. If Timberwolves managed to win it, the headline will be surely all about Derrick Rose. And take note that after his career high 50 points, he is on rest mode for 2 games because of his ankle problem. And when he came back against the Portland, he still managed to get a 21 points contribution. And the following game which is the recent one, against the Lakers, he able to gather 31 big points on which 7 big 3's are made.

Can't imagined DRose now if that big injury didn't tear his career. Maybe the competition in the East is somehow tough during the past seasons.

Yeah. Unlike what happened with Carter and Grant Hill which he really took a great toll after their injuries.
It sure does put a big deal with DRose and that is why he cried with the 50 point game.

Golden States losing against Bucks. Giannis becoming a monster. He was just stopped when he got the 5th personal foul but the lead is so much that Kerr did not let Durant out too and let the bench play the game.
Without Green is really a big loss to them. They lose the heart of GSW with that.
The big men of Bucks are killing them with offensive rebounds and points in the paint.

It is the middlemen who currently run this world.

Easiest way to make money.

1. Find a product that's valuable.
2. Buy the same thing at a lower price by purchasing in large quantities.
3. Sell individual units at a profit.

The giants Amazon, Alibaba, Costco, Walmart, ETC. all exploit this tried and true method of creating value.

I also sell products wholesale on Amazon and can tell you from experience this works. Anyone can do it.

The thing is, once people can make transactions directly from the warehouse or the seller without the need of a platform or place at the best price and with great shipping, security, trust etc. won't all forms of middlemen become obsolete?

Everything would be cheaper and more accessible.





True. It is like a Value added tax with another tax. People dont see it but it is just a platform for people to posts what they want to sell. They dont really have an item or if they did, it may be just a little than all the people who have posted their items.

Ebay is just the same right?
They wont even assure the buyer that it is a legitimate seller. So what are we really paying them for? The web page? Maintenance? Grin

Facebook got a lot of seller right now. Maybe I will just stay there and add all those online sellers. Grin
6585  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How altcoins change your life? on: November 08, 2018, 09:00:43 PM
I came across to bitcoin discussion section and found out threads about how bitcoin change their life. It was known that bitcoin has literally change lives of others who were able to participate and join in any form that which they could profit bitcoins. However, I was curios also if it is possible that users here in the forum has change their life through altcoin.

Altcoins is a short cut term for alternative coins. This is base on my understanding as to what I have read and learn it from others. Due to the numbers of existing altcoins in the market I bet that there could be an altcoin who made one to change his life by earning huge profit.

Though altcoins have huge difference when it comes to the market cap of bitcoin, but still it could be profitable a certain individual who follow that altcoin. So, how does altcoin change your life?
I came to this place with a few bucks ($15k on 2015) and then just tried to use them all to buy ethereum and bitcoin. This time my coins have changed my life. I have sold all of my ether at peak price and i bought em all when the price was around $8 for each ethereum coin. I'm so lucky.  Cool

Oohh! That was awesome. A beta user here which didnt doubted to buy an altcoin which is Ethereum.
I hope I was already here in those times but I am not yet. Got it at a higher price and now it is back at it. I am not that strong enough to sell it at its peak cause I am still looking at it as a coin of the future.
But after that I changed my way of thinking.

Congratulations to you though for being so tough into waiting for a better price to sell.

Kuzma. Again this guy. He is becoming a player that I have been looking up into from the very start. Hell! You will know when a player is serious with the game. Just the way he moves you could already tell that he have a great future ahead.
It was Lonzo Ball that they have been cheering at start because of his family name. But even before, it was Kuzma who shines so bright.

New age with new players stepping up and then an MVP waking up.  Grin A great game to watch again.

So what if they create their own crypto currency? Does it really matter for those who are decentralized?

This kind of things will only rotate on their own country and I dont think it will get out of there since they will be the one regulating it.
Perhaps they will make some rules that you should be a citizen of their country to own their crypto coin. Yeah that is the meaning of regulating it. Control.

Bitcoin is way far from that. If they dont like adapting bitcoin then it wont be a problem. Somehow there are still people in their country that will decide to stay with the old one and decentralized.
6588  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Transfer times and fees? on: November 08, 2018, 01:09:40 PM
I do a ton of trades a day, but I have to transfer cryptoccurency from one exchange to another. Since bitcoin transactions take a lot of time and theres a fee, what do you think I can do? Should I sell the bitcoin on the exchange for a fast currency like NANO and then transfer it to the other exchange and then sell the NANO there to get back the BTC? Do I make any sense? Any answer will help thanks 🙂

As long as they support that token too then it makes sense.
You are trying to escape the time and tx fees which have been ask so much before specially those times when bitcoin tx fee soared way too high.

But somehow this is a lot of work. Maybe you should also add the time you will be spending to sell it back and forth and also the fees in trading sites everytime you sell it to another token.

It is easier to just ignore this kind of way. Many of us hated that KYC procedure because it makes us vulneravle to attacks.
Better just let it go. Stop being greedy for money just because they are saying it is a million dollar worth of coin.
Bitcoin is a million dollar coin and yet doesnt need those type of information to be leaked.

I guess they are trying to attack newbies with this. Better just warn them before going through those type of application. Or we will be seeing threads of hacks again.
6590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: November 07, 2018, 11:25:29 PM
It's because they don't have a legitimate superstars who could carry the team consistently. Also, because the lack of maturity in decision making on and off the court. Give them a veteran superstar and a seasoned coach then you will see a different trailblazers playing on the court.

It's not a mandatory for them to have a superstar or a seasoned coach. Just a role players is enough and that's what their lacking. But still with their setup, they can finished a good spot on the West. Example last season, they performed well in the West standing and finished at 3rd spot. But unfortunately got swept by the New Orleans Pelicans in first round of the playoffs. It's fine if it's not a sweep but they literally choked on that game.

Competition in the West is tough but they managed to get a good spot last year so it means that their current lineup is good. It's just that they are pressured once they are on playoffs and that's what they need to changed as they supposedly not new anymore on that kind of pressure.

I agree with that.
This Portland team have a good offensive line up. It is just that they got shaken up when defense of the opponent starts changing and that is the playoffs. Every win is a must.
Also, they got so used with how they perform in season which they cannot just do easily when a defensive team starts to pressure them. But that is good lesson for them. Maybe now they have a plan for it.

You are talking about 5 years of experience but your resume indicates a newbie.
Some suggestions are good but the announcement in this forum or the signature campaigns did not seem "the easiest way."
Also, paying for people to participate in social media does not seem a good idea in my view.

4. SMS messaging  —  is a very and very cool tool. I have an actual phones database if suddenly you don’t have your own, for more than 90 countries].
Are you serious about this proposal?


5. Automatic interactive calls. Auto-dial  —  we create a live voice record, after which a massive interactive call starts. After listening to the audio, a person is asked to answer a question or a sentence by pressing a certain number on the phone’s keypad.
Shocked Shocked

Yeah. Is this really happening? I dont want to see something like this on my smartphone. An sms for an ICO? A sudden voice call from a stranger? Ain't that too much and too creepy?

Is that kind of technique really working?

I suggest staying on the internet. Social media and blogs. But it became easier now. They could just create a page and let the bounty hunters share it for the news to be spread.
Youtube though might be a great help for those who have a lot of subscribers.

Maybe that could explain you everything.
Can you touch the internet? It has no physical attribute and yet it is now one of the most important thing or whatever they call it in one house, company and individual. Why is that?

It doesnt matter now if you see it or not or feel it. It aint the stone age anymore. We should just go with the flow of technology.
I hope that explains everything.
6593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: November 07, 2018, 12:26:15 PM
Rockets was playing so bad that they literally made their retired coach come back from retirement to fix their defensive issues. Honestly I can not believe one team can be good enough to beat one of the all time best teams and next year suck so badly. I keep on saying there must be something but I really don't know if it is just coaching difference anymore.

Mavericks have been losing a lot but with Luka and DSJ and Barnes with Wesley, they really do look like they might have a future in the league. Celtics plays like Celtics as always, Brad Stevens really knows how to take advantage of each players skills and bring out the most in them, the only coach like that was Greg Popovich and we know how amazing he is, I hope Brad Stevens coaches Celtics for the next 20+ years like Pop did to spurs.

Is Harden back?
Sorry I am not much updated with the Houston team. Maybe I will watch some replay later.

One thing is for sure. They traded one of their good defender. Ariza. That guy is so long that it could defend 2 guys at the same time. Grin Steals. Ariza is good with that, plus he also have the stamina to keep up and defend star players which are at the off guard position. He have the upper hand as always for his long arms.
He didnt need to score. Just keep up with the offensive play.

Edit: okay so Harden is back. But that is a good game against Indiana.

Why does everybody have to do ico on everything nowadays. Many ico projects nowadays are based on only speculation and idea. We need to see already working products that people are ready to adopt.

You want the insurance part. Grin
Most of them have greater ideas and they just need some capital.
Since he said he knows how to code then maybe it could be something else. It is better than others out there who just knew how to scam or runaway right?

But for the OP. You better learn more. If it is marketing which is your problem, maybe you could look at your phonebook and maybe one of your colleague knows about it.

It is the truth and specially with bitcoin which is like a commodity only and not a currency for a lot of people here.

It just became a trading tool to get more USD which is getting me worried. It may stay like this for a long time. It will not weaken the fiat system but more stronger.

We wait.
There might be someone out there with a genius mind that could create something which be worth the support.
We are now in a new world. Everything could be possible. As long as it is legitimate then I will support it.
I hope it will be better than bitcoin though. At first I doubt there will be but seeing all of the things here, there might be a chance that something could bloom out of nowhere.

I think it will a good thing if you can really forget all of it once you wake up in the morning but that is not always the case.
The tendency of getting back those losses the next day is higher than making a reset.

The thought of losing a number of dollars from the other day will be a nightmare that will keep on going back. There is no cure to it.
6599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: November 06, 2018, 01:23:06 PM
Raptors are 9-1 for the season, this game without Leonard and they showed up tonight, great start for them going up in the first quarter 42-17. LA still has to find that chemistry that they need, Kuzma had a nice game again, I think next year we will see an all-star teaming up with Lebron in LA after the Warriors win again this year.

Yeah Kuzma. Really love that kid. I see a great  player within him. Been a fan of him since his rookie year.

Raptors though. Ergh! Too stroong even with Kawaii nor playing the game.
Lowry and the bench had some good hot hands and the lead wont even go below 20 until the last minutes of the 3rd.
They  keep on doing this until playoffs and they might be the one getting that crown in the East. Doesnt need to rely much on Kawaii.

Well if you can remember though, the raptors have always been this good through the regular season even back when demar is at the helm. And i think they'll continue this kind of play until the playoffs, where we'll really see what kawhi brings that's different from derozan.

It is really the playoffs where they got shaken.
I think that is when Kawaii will really shine again.
He had been in many Finals and also an MVP. He will not just be shaken up by those kind of moment, experience wise.

Their 3rd stringer though must be enhanced. They are the ones who gave up the big lead and forcing Lowry to go back to the game at 4th quarter.

That sounded like determine and then terminate?
Are we going to talk about ICO scams here? Grin

It aint that easy. You must go deep in following them if you really want to know their purpose.

First of all they will make sure that all team member have a background and it looks legitimate, which will give you a hard time.
Second some of them are true people behind it but just caught with the leader who is the real scammer.

Whitepaper. Look for their errors here and also their visits in different countries while marketing. See to it that those are real.
