7201  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Getting back in the coin game on: July 02, 2020, 11:58:58 PM
Welcome back, good timing to be back as the market is still in the so-so swing, and you can still invest around as most of the alts are still way below their all time high, so there's is a possibility that you can still profit once we hit that bull run again. Hardware wallet like Trezor and Ledger are still the best as far as security, but you have to be very careful because they have been targeted by a lot of cyber criminals, pretending to be the real and legit Trezor and Ledger, specially fake websites and fake google play store apps.

You can read all about Ethereum staking here: https://cointelegraph.com/explained/ethereum-20-staking-explained

Of course, the top 10 altcoins are still good to hold. So best of luck.
7202  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you lend your cryptocurrencies? on: July 02, 2020, 10:59:15 PM
Hi guys, as many of you as I also would like to "do" something with my crypto funds that I held in my crypto wallet. For a few months, I still think if crypto loans really work and there is a very very low risk of losing my funds. I would like to borrow lend my cryptocurrencies with an interest. Blockfi offers up to 8.5% interest p.a. and there are more competitors, but would you 100% trust them? Earning few percent per year vs. losing the big amount of cryptocurrencies fund?

Yes, everything has risk specially the lending services, it's really attractive to see a 8.5% per annum, but your funds are not safe. Honestly, I will rather hold my coins, at least I have total control of it. There are a lot of scammers out there, so it's really hard to trust and lend money to some that you really don't know. Besides, there are also hackers just around the corner.

Heads up guys, odds are available now on the bookies and if anyone of you are interested then it's a great opportunity to bet now. Good odds for the Filipino boxer, hoping that Mark Bernaldez will not break the streak.



Thanks again, will try to bet on this fight to continue our winning streak. It is really a good odds and very attractive, nothing to lose here for Mark, and I'm sure he will bring home the bacon again for the Philippines and we have something to cheer on in this pandemic.  Grin
7204  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jeff Bezos and Bitcoin on: July 02, 2020, 09:49:23 PM
Today Jeff Bezos is worth more than the market cap of the bitcoin at its price right now, he's more than $1.5M ahead. Jeff Bezos could really own every bitcoin with that huge amount of money, but I'm thinking how much transaction fee he is getting to pay for buying all of the bitcoins (If Ever) and I'm also wondering why at this time of pandemic he got his ATH company shares. With all these money he could just play around, he's above all us in terms of money. Any thoughts about this one?

His wealth is not that liquid though, he need to liquidated his tangible and non-tangible assets just to be able to buy all bitcoins currently in circulation. Of course, he could do OTC transactions to somewhat minimised transaction fees, but still as he buys the price is going to push through so we may have to see fees going up as well.
7205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think players can play properly against a recovered Covid-19 opponent? on: July 02, 2020, 09:12:54 PM
We all know that in some sports leagues, some players are being infected with the pandemic virus.

Now that some sports leagues are bound to resume and others are already resumed, do you think it will play a big role in their performance if somehow a team is against a team with recovered Covid-19 players on it? The mindset is still there that even these former Covid-19 players are now cleared and 100%, the worry is still there.

For me, yes. It can play as a factor in my future betting.

Yes, I think players that are Covid-19 free will have will this kind of mentality when they are up against a person that has recovered from the virus. Of course, they won't admit it, but we all know that humans is fearful of something they know that it can hurt them. So most probably, if we are going to bet, we should factor this somewhat as it can really affect them psychologically, just saying.
7206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My suggestion on Bitcoin adoption on: July 01, 2020, 10:47:56 PM
I love the fact that the whole world isn't aware of Bitcoin yet. I see Bitcoin as a digital Gold. It is supposed to be scarce to retain its credibility. If Gold was made accessible to everyone, The value would never be as high it has always been. In the case of Bitcoin, before the century goes off a quantum of the world population will be accessing the internet and I'm not sure a lot of people will still be interested in knowing what it is.

Bitcoin is 'slowly' being adopted, but it might take some time to fully see the potential to be a currency or a payment scheme because of its volatility. Yes, we love to see the whole world being aware of bitcoin, but we can't really force that issue though. In the long run, it's either you are a bitcoin maximalist or no coiner. If others doesn't see bitcoin or at least some governments thought it could bring more harm to them then we can't do anything about it. That's why we have seen countries banning it, or putting a strict regulatory framework, it is their loss, not ours. (Although I sound a bit selfish here)

If it is established that the player and the dealer colluded. Wouldn't that be considered fraud?

Who established that, the casino?

If so, they don't even need an investigation into the matter, as in this case they can be the law unto themselves as well as the law enforcement agency. If we are talking about legal institutions, though, the fact of collusion can only be established in the court of law after the plaintiff reveals all of their evidence to that effect and the judge finds this evidence convincing and sufficient
Here is one case in the Philippines wherein the card dealer was colluding with his friends and has raked a total of 5 million PHP or roughly $100K. They did some investigations, and then called NBI (local FBI) and the police made the arrest on the casino floor itself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhXNj87TNiE

Yes, it was sensationalised here in the Philippines when that news came out and if I'm not mistaken, that casino is Resorts World Manila, one of the big three here. 5 Mil PHP is already a big amount that those group try to milk the casino itself. Haven't heard what happened to that group, but I would certainly say that those people are going behind bars for what they did to the casino itself.
7209  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin performance in first half of 2020 on: July 01, 2020, 03:07:49 PM
"If we look at the BTC year-to-date chart, BTC’s performance has been very similar to the traditional stock markets. BTC’s price collapse is in tune with the global market collapse in March 2020. Thus, Bitcoin failed to live to its image of being the ‘Digital Gold’ and a safe haven for traditional market investors."

- But it did recover right? And if not for the government's stimulus package for the traditional markets, it will be hard pressed for them to recover, while bitcoin's reached hits higher high after the March fall out. So it's pretty obvious that bitcoin is performing very well in the first half of the year.

As for altcoin, I would tend to agree that there are altcoins that out perform bitcoin year-to-year but it doesn't mean that those kind of growth are to be sustainable long term though. We all know how altcoin market tends to be a "pump-and-dump" scheme.
7210  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam] Elon Musk ETH and BTC Giveaway on: July 01, 2020, 12:35:08 PM
It's almost impossible to report all these scams as quickly as they pop up, and their potential victims are not really on this forum nor would they be really interested in learning about Bitcoin. The scammers simply combine a novel idea and a promise of making double your money with zero effort and let greed do the rest.
The best way to curb this scams is people becoming more alert when on the internet, take everything as a scam until proven otherwise, this way you approach any offer with a certain level of skepticism and are less likely to fall blindly for cheap scam attempts.

Or just used your common sense, as no one will really give us free money here, not even the rich and the famous. We really don't know the numbers, but many are still falling for this trick and scammers are very satisfied with the results because they know that a person greed is really hard to resists until it's too late.

An article pops up accusing Fury of loading his gloves, this is according to Wilder's brother.

Fury Vows To End Wilder's Career After Claim of Loaded Gloves

Quote
In a recent social media post, Marsellos Wilder, the younger brother of former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, made a sensational claim that Tyson Fury may have loaded his gloves for the rematch with Deontay back in February.

“You know it’s crazy when you [are] great. They gotta do everything that is underneath real to figure out how to stop you. And the most wicked sh-t about [it] is- people on your own team will do anything for the hate [or] money to help [the opponents] take you down. It was discovered by doctors that my brother has a dent [at] the side of his head [due] to a blunt object [striking] his head [in] his last fight. No glove or fist was able to cause the damage according to the autopsy. My daddy once told me if you pull a gun out on somebody, you better kill them. Because if you don’t, they are gonna come back and kill you. The king is about to rise again. We [are] coming for blood," Marsellos Wilder stated.

https://www.boxingscene.com/fury-vows-end-wilder-career-claim-loaded-gloves--149855

I doubt that those allegations are true though, there are a lot of people including boxing bodies representatives and even the WBC President said that he is present in both in the dressing room. So I don't know where the hell did Marsellos Wilder got this idea.

This another b_s excuse on the Wilder camp on why their guy lost the fight. I think, after that Margarito incident, boxing bodies are very strict on inspecting gloves to prevent another such incident. I read an article that Fury is more motivated to end the career of Wilder after knowing that baseless allegation. Bad for Wilder?

I agree, it's really getting absurd here, you can't just accused someone without any proof and this just surface today after so many months already. So we really don't know that intention of Deontay's brother by going public by this allegations. And they look like really a loser here by coming up with any preposterous claims. Lol. And judging by Fury's reply, it just added fuel to the fire and I think it just make it worst for Wilder in this trilogy.
7212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Unique use case. on: June 28, 2020, 04:47:27 PM
I can't wait to be a part of a crypto space where each project is unique on its own. There is nothing so special about 'use case' if it's not unique. It's becoming boring having too many projects trying to solve the same problem with almost the same approach. You don't need to struggle to attract the attention of the community if you really have something unique to offer. Mind you, uniqueness naturally attracts adoption. A piece of advice to developer, be unique.

It can also be said that the altcoin market is really clogged with useless projects and tokens that offer nothing but simply to make money to the people behind it. And this is the main reason why altcoin market is not really taking off and we might not see the same hype as the 2017 boom. Investors getting smart and really dissecting every project and it they found a flaw like it's nothing new at all, that project will not be supported or if it did, this will be used for pure pump and dump scheme only.

I would say that Fury has been the better fighter over their two fights and he has nothing to prove but it is Wilder that has everything to prove if he wishes to remain relevant.

Yes, the ball is really on Wilder side in this trilogy, he has to show his old version, I mean the fighter that has total control of his emotions inside the ring that doesn't look like to be intimidated at all. Fury is oozing with confidence, while Wilder looks defeated already. So we will see, again, this is a matter of who will adjust and wanted to more to win in the end.



He should patch up the things that he had done in to their last fights with Fury and overcoming it on what would it be because thats the only way that he would able to reclaim his glory.


I agree that Wilder should really be on his old self but with have some changes specially on counterattacking Fury's way of fighting. Dont focus on landing straight hard punches. He should at least

be moving out and on having that kind of tactic.Of course, Fury would really be prepared as well.So this one would really be a hella good of a fight.

Because he really rely on his straight right hand to do the job for him. But with the Fury fight, it's very different specially in the second fight wherein he had trouble finding that range And Fury move a lot. It's hard to hit a moving target. Or don't let himself being push by Fury and use some upper cut and body shots to somewhat slow down Fury.

It seems like the OP hasn't been in crypto sphere to see the this is not the first time that we have seen this in Ethereum, and for those who have been here longer, remember this? Loveable Digital Kittens Are Clogging Ethereum’s Blockchain. So just like bitcoin, when the network is clogged, fees increases, win-win situation for miners. And we can't do anything about it, unless you wait till the network gets cleared or pay high fees so that your transaction gets prioritized.

Because you are already excited with the Fury vs Joshua fight? hehe

I think you are are expecting that Fury would again beat Wilder in the fight, but I think DarkDays is correct, more time to recover means better chance for wilder although we still can't eliminate the fact that Fury will remain the crowd favorite, wait. no crowd, sorry. Grin

Fury vs Joshua could wait till Fury will defeat Wilder in their third confrontation  Smiley. Any injuries both boxers had will heal considering that they won't fight in a crowdless arena so lot of time or their fight will be scheduled on the 4th quarter of this year. I like Fury and Wilder to be completely healthy when they met so that there will be no more excuses made after the fight.

Knowing Wilder, I think he is ready for what excuses he will say if he lose in the fight.

Last time it wasn't an injury that was blamed, it was the suit which he said he is wearing a heavy one, too ridiculous, right?
Why would he wear something that would affect his performance in the ring?

What I want to see is that both will man up and accept whatever the result, selling of fight usually happen before the fight, not after, so accepting defeat and giving credit to the winner is a sign of respect from a defeated fighter.

I think if Wilder will be defeated in the trilogy, he will be man enough to accept the defeat and make no excuses. Because we have seen how the media reacted on his excuses about the heavy suit and he knows if he made another one if he losses, he will not just loss the fight but his credibility as well.

He can still go on and fight if ever he losses, but he needs to accept the defeat and move on. But if he won? it will be a different story.
