6841  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Warning: This John McAfee-Pumped Cryptocurrency Has Major Red Flags on: April 03, 2019, 04:00:08 AM
By CCN.com: Another day, another John McAfee tweet pumping a cryptocurrency project that has alarming red flags. The latest dubious crypto token is called Apollo, an “all-in-one” cryptocurrency with supposedly-private transactions.

CRYPTO DEVELOPERS CALL OUT MCAFEE-LINKED APOLLO
However, according to crypto development firm Jelurida, Apollo’s so-called privacy features promoted are not so private after all.

https://www.ccn.com/warning-this-john-mcafee-pumped-cryptocurrency-has-major-red-flags

The first red flag here is John McAfee himself. We all know that he is being paid to shill that coin so don't be surprised if he doesn't do any investigation. As long as he is paid like $100k per tweet or whatever, he will easily accept and shill for it.

Second, if that coin get's a good pump, then that's it. Just another pump-and-dump coin because there are a lot of better privacy coins in the market.

For me personally, whatever the reason is. I am very happy to see the rise in the price of bitcoin in recent days. And I believe, this will not stop here, gradually. Bitcoin prices will return like 2017

Of course, who wouldn't be happy to see the price surge in the last couple of days?

Whoever is thinking that Bakkt will help bitcoin economy is not correct. Bakkt is just trying to ride on popularity wave of BTC.
Why a bitcoin user will like to submit him/herself to more regulation and under more control of agency?
It is just a false speculation that bakkt will help BTC.

Could be false speculation but I'm sure everyone is riding the popularity of crypto nowadays. What we really need to see though is that merchants accepting bitcoin as mode of payment. Not just custodian/no-custodian institutions trying to get their hands on the market to make more money.

Finally, the price cross $5000 again hehe Grin

Yes, so exciting times ahead for all crypto enthusiast. To be fair, there are also a lot of altcoins gaining more than bitcoin.

I am sure many of us have a great time to sell bitcoin at a price now. We are holding bitcoin a long time before, and now it's the time to take a profit for a while. Although the price now is at $5000, it still a good price for us to sell it right now since we are hungry to make a profit. Make sure you are ready if this was a start for the bull run and don't miss your chance to make a big profit.

Majority of HODL'ers didn't move when the price hits ATL @$3200 so definitely this rally will make them more mentality strong not to push the sell button just because the price hits $5k. So just continue to hodl as I believed that this could be a bullrun.
6844  Economy / Economics / Re: The bulls are back, bitcoin on the way to $5k on: April 03, 2019, 03:14:49 AM
It just crosses $5k already.  Grin

I don't know, it's too early to call, but I would say that this is a bull run to me. Yes, I know we can't tell the future, but just look at the trading volumes, a good indication that many is trying to get it and join the hype train for all it's worth. Chasing $5.2k now.  Grin. How long are we gonna take it?  I'd say give it a day or two.

https://www.si.com/nba/2019/03/30/lebron-james-sit-out-remainder-lakers-season-groin-injury

Lakers management has decided to sit James for the rest of the season.

Good decision.

I think this is good move, why take the risk when they are already out of the playoffs.  Warriors vent out against Charlotte, winning a whopping 47 point spread, 137 - 90.

Cousins was ejected though with flagrant 2 foul, he is really playing very good with 24 points. The win also clinches their 5th straight Pacific Division title and a possible three peat.
6847  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 on: April 01, 2019, 12:08:14 PM
This time I'll go for Pacquiao he is on the second wind of his career, won on his recent matches from tough opponents, I think Pacquiao will only go for Mayweather because he is about to retire and there's not enough match left for him.

These boxing games are not to be bet in my opinion.
Both sides would have agreed a priori who is going to win the match and they will one target to get money from this event. I think that the same happened with McGregor all these years and let him make a fortune.

I would agree that there are boxing matches that are rigged.

But I doubt that Pacquiao himself will really cooperate on it, if ever he is approached for a match fix. This is not WWE, this is pure boxing, and this is no longer the 50's or 60's where fights are rigged because of the mafia.

Maybe what you are saying is that they hype that McGregor would have a chance to beat Floyd. Yes, they did a good job and make them a lot of money, but fixing it, I doubt it.
6848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC IN THE BITCOINTALK FORUM: April Fool on: April 01, 2019, 12:00:53 PM
  Cheesy I'm sure that someone passed it. I wonder what they will give for it? Will the hail those who made KYC) However, you can not joke like that. After a hard night, not everyone remembers what number.

It's gonna be interesting to see how passes their personal info. But as someone has said, it didn't go to the database but to our local machine only so there's no way of seeing who got fooled.  Grin

And I'm sure that those who have many alts almost got a heart attack seeing that the forum is now requiring KYC. Lol.
6849  Economy / Speculation / Re: 'Bitcoin will run up to $5,000 by May' on: April 01, 2019, 11:33:56 AM
This prediction seems very fair and has a possibility of happening. At least its way better than the price of 50,000 some predictor are predicting. The recent price now is $4000k so before May the price of $5k is attainable. Lets just hope we won't be seeing another panic sell or act from impulsive investors.
It is attainable. With some good news, we can see bitcoin up to 5k. I mean, it's just the 3rd month of this year. We still have another month to go. Plus, I can see that there are so many traders in here that are positive on what's coming to bitcoin.
If the majority of cryptocurrency users believe in the potential of Bitcoin, then the present time still needs to be used correctly and to invest in Bitcoin, for the long term. Although the toroidal environment in the cryptocurrency market is very difficult to handle in daily trading.

I'm sure that the believed in bitcoin's potential, but you have to understand that it's an asset. And usually investors doesn't throw their money around, at least those wise investors.

They might be just waiting from the outside and will just invest on it when the market really turns into green, meaning, confidence is back, the price is bouncing and recovering very good and that a eventual bull run will happen.

Very strict, I follow my daily schedule, otherwise it will just pile up on the next coming days.

Although what I like is that I can take offs in weekends to spend with my family and I'm working at home. Unlike before wherein I have to work some days on weekends or even holidays which take my quality time with my family.
6851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does ICO projects became an April Fools? on: April 01, 2019, 10:54:22 AM
I know that many good ICO's around and some were very promising. HOwever, there are other ICO projects to which now looks like an April Fools who's team always talk to much but in the end of the ICO period all they have to do is to be silent, list the coin of the project and then dump the project. This is why we really monitoring from these guys to keep their promises before, during and after the ICO period.

Oh well, that's what majority of ICO is, so don't be surprised.

And now the IEO is born, it might be difficult for those projects that are purely design for pump-and-dump because investors grew tired and since we have a new hype with IEO and much promising then don't be surprised if ICO will be obsolete in the coming years.

Tha manager of Rocket campaign stated about the On Hold situation in bounty topic.
I don't think the Rocket team should do that, it is more relevant task for manager.
This is why the Rocket team hired manager to do such works for them.

Lol, it's not for us to decide, and I think the manager doesn't have the final decision on that. He can add his input but still the decision is up to the management of Rocket.

No need to point fingers here, maybe they are evaluating the results or if they needed another platform to promote their site, so let's just wait. But good job to Rocket, the response is really positive.
6853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sidebet... A minimum loss... on: April 01, 2019, 10:31:31 AM
Yes, I've played this sidebet thingy in black jack but not online but in a traditional land based casino. I wouldn't say it will give you minimum loss, but what's good about betting on the side is that if you have small capital, or at least lost big chunks of it and wanted to recover a few then you might you on black jack table and try your luck to recover.

At least in my case that's what I've done, but just the same results though.  Angry, losing in the end.

I have a new developer trying to do the  APRIL FOOLS JOKE KYC right now in order to launch a project
They are Korean and English is not the 1st language...
[.. snip..]

Do Koreans celebrate April Fools as well?  Grin

I don't know, maybe your developers is also riding the hype of April Fools Joke and trying to emulate what Theymos has done this year in our community.

6855  Economy / Economics / Re: What should you do in bearish market? on: April 01, 2019, 10:15:21 AM
During bear market times, it is always good for coin holders to stay calm and avoid any form of FUD creation because it does no good to the market than to create panic selling. Also, it is good for investors to buy more of the valuable during bear markets because they sell at relatively low prices.
I agree.Panic selling won't bring any good to all investors so as much as possible,stay calm and relax when bearish season comes.We won't lose our capital unless we sell our coins with a relatively low price.Bearish market has always given us great chances to earn more bitcoins and even potential altcoins which are bargain at an affordable price.

Panic attack is just normal. It's how you are going to react to it that might affect your decision. When we are in panic mode, our decisions are clouded and can make a quick action (like pushing the sell button) and then regret it later.

And yes, it won't bring any good to us and even to the market. That's why we always advise against panic selling, worst you are losing. There's nothing wrong with waiting or make your move when the dust settles. If hard to control it though, but through experience, I'm sure most of can learn how to control ourselves and make a good decision later.
6856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: alt millionaire on the next bull run on: March 31, 2019, 11:15:06 PM
If you have plans then you should accumulate at this period because this is the best time to do it. They are all cheap and at a discounted price.

Problem is, what altcoins are you going to advise? Top 10 coins, or just shitcoins and just ride the waves during their pump? So there is a big risk involved and it won't be an easy task ahead. But goodluck though.
6857  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why is it hard to say sorry on: March 31, 2019, 11:09:35 PM
It's because people can't accept their mistakes. And they are in a defensive mode, very very hard to admit to themselves that they have make a mistakes and the possible consequences of it.

Or possible they don't want to hurt the feelings of the other party and just chooses to ignore everything as if nothing happens.
6858  Economy / Economics / Re: Venezuela hit by new nationwide powercut for more than three days on: March 31, 2019, 09:50:17 PM
Know what? These issues are not unique to Venezuela. Each and every socialist country is going to end up this way. The problem with socialism is that after a specific time period, three will be no rich people left to tax. All the rich would have migrated to some sane country, or they would have become poor.

Right, a lot of countries specially developing and third world countries are experience crisis. What's unique in Venezuela though is that the issue about the electricity. They are already in the worst situation, and add the nationwide power-cut? I don't know, If I'm in there then I would have left the country.

This country is very rich in oil. But what happened? It's because of the government's mishandling of everything that why the countries sinks deeper and deeper.

Now, everyone need to find ways to survived, even the bitcoin mining farms (if there is still at this point.)
6859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: March 31, 2019, 05:57:32 PM
Anyone seen the Warriors vs Wolves game? A lot of controversial calls in that game. Well, first off, Curry led the team from 9 point down in the last 1.5 minutes hitting threes. But prior to that with 5.8 seconds left, Durant hit a three and get fouled. I thought it was going to be a four point play and give the Warriors the lead by it's waved by the referee, to my surprised. Then Curry buries a three to tie the game with 0.5 seconds. The only possible way to score at this point for the Wolves is to lobe a pass to KAT, it was long. However, the referee called a crucial foul on Durant for pushing KAT, very controversial. KAT made 1 out of 2. Giving the Wolves 131-130 win. What are you thoughts? Is it a right call?


I don't know. Maybe it's the referee's way of getting back at Curry taunting one of them after he made a three in 0.5 seconds. Although the ref didn't see it because he has his back on Curry, but the other two might witnessed, that's why the controversial call.

I have to take a review because I don't know if that is the same referee that he taunts that made that call. I still remember though Duncan, he was ejected, by just laughing in the bench.  Grin

I don't see anything wrong with the play, I'm sorry to disagree with you guys.
I saw the replay, the first shot made by Durant was a foul before the shot, there's still plenty of time so why would he catch and shoot on that?

The last one which was his foul, he clearly get physical to KAT, and refs saw a little push.

Ok, here's my call. I reviewed the replay and I would agree that Durant was caught off-guard, he was beaten by a couple of steps by KAT, did try to recover it by being physical and some push.

So yes there was a foul, yes very controversial since it less than a second, but referee blew his whistle and made the right call in that game.
6860  Economy / Speculation / Re: Market will be recovery current year 2019? on: March 31, 2019, 05:31:42 PM
So far, no sign that indicates about of what you're telling OP.
The market is still in bearish trend but at least it's not in the bottom anymore which is the hardest part for most traders.
Maybe it would start to recover with these remaining months of the year but if not, then we will have to wait for the halving effect in 2020.

At least we didn't go below our previous all-time-high. There are speculators saying that we need to see final capitulation before the eventual recovery. But it seems it's not going to happen as the price is going to a steady climb.

Very slow though, but at least we are above $3k now and could potential reach $5k in the next coming months if new investors are going to get it in. So let's be positive and hope that the bearish trend will be finally over.
