That is because you saw the $1900 mark that is why you are saying this. But as I said before there could be an error with that or it is just the hype. Now before that rise, bitcoin is playing in $8k-9k mark and just fluctuating back and forth. So we can say it just fell for like $2k by then. But why do you people only see the fall as always. Have you ever consider to look at the brighter side? From $300 to $6k. How much percentage is that?  |

That's sound like a joke, the Kenya, seriously?! Why not in Netherland or Spain or I don't know ... danm, does the Kenyans has a computers? I don't want to be rude but Kenya seems in much more stronger need for agrocultural and factory investments that an ATM.
Actually for a country that's financially-oppressed by gangster-like people, keeping their assets in something discreet seem to be a nice move. It also saves them from inflation that might happen in their country and enables them to control their money at will. It might sound like it's not a necessary thing to do but for starters, saving your money from an economy spiraling out of control is always the best move, and Kenyans might have the shot for that. A third world country like Kenya 'might' not seem to need crypto, but looking at another angle, this could totally help them. This might be their real purpose of doing that. He is right. People here are on the brink of not knowing where they should keep their money and this is just a small part of a solution but could work. It is not just gold mines anymore but through the work of internet they could also keep their money in different form. Thumbs up. |

What do you think about Mavs, guys? They might be interesting this season. They acquired 3rd pick on Draft Luka Dončić and with some more players they can fight for Playoffs. Since they have space in cap salary, they can sign one Center, even maybe Cousins or Capela. Starting five: Dennis Smith Jr., Luka Dončić, Wesley Mathews, Harrison Barnes, Center On bench they would have: JJ Barea, Dirk Nowitzki, Nerlens Noel... Interesting team to watch next season  Surprised that someone here is interested in Dallas Mavericks. I followed this team since 2003 and always updated at some of the happenings in the squad. As far as the latest rumor is concern, some of the names that they might get this summer is DeMarcus Cousins and DeAndre Jordan. Clint Capela is just an option because it will depend on Rockets marketing as in the first place, they really want to retain Capela. But the story will changed if Rockets will really target Paul George or LeBron James. Well let's just see the progress. Cousins on the other hand still will not seen on action during the early phase of the season so still Mavs aren't sure if they will take the shot of this guy as part of rebuilding process. They need more young guys to fulfill their first squad. Smith Jr. able to make good stats last season as a rookie and I see he will be one of the future face of the Maveriks. On the other hand, Im hoping that Doncic will do the same or much even better. Well, I must say I miss them all these years. They were strugling last couple seasons and that was hard to watch.., At least they got good place at Nba Lottery which enabled them to get good pick (Dončić) Also, Dončić is from my area so I will start following Mavs much often from now. I hope they sign some good Center and complete squad. And looks like they are really aiming for a good center. They are already complete there. Just lacking with the defense specially on the paint area. That must not be left blank at all times. There should be someone to substitute out there just so the other team will know there is a good defender inside for making them doubt to go in. Is Dirk still playing this year? |

When it comes to crypto I dont believe much with those kind of events.
It is more of a landslide from a panic than miners have a psychological breakdown.
Miners will stay and will need to produce some money for paying up bills. Yes it may be low but it will still cut the payment which is needed.
I bet they have good capital by now and all this mined bitcoin will just be stored.

Stay calm. We all have the same issues here.
I think you really need some rest into looking at the price frequently.
That is the trick of a holder. Do not let your emotions get the best of you. It is crypto currency and it fluctuates because of the large amount of trading sites by now.
It happens and maybe worse could be. But the question is how strong you are and how willing to keep on holding to support the currency that you are holding by now.

Now, when NBA Draft is over, teams can start calculating with Free agents. LeBron James will say his decision in following days. The most favorized teams to take him are Lakers and 76ers, but in my opinion there is a big chance he will stay in Cavaliers and try to bring some superstars as he normally do.
This will be a hell of a interesting free agency to watch, looking forward to it!
The Cavs management are doing their best to stay Lebron on the team. If he will be traded, I would like him to go to 76ers. A young roster like Celtics but can be a playoff contender. He would fit in there. Now if the management wants Lebron to stay in Cavs, they must reshuffle their roster and put some all star caliber players because Lebron can't do all things himself. He needs some back up from other players. This. Yes they really need to change cards. A lot of cards to shuffle. Lebron might be the King but he cannot win wars without his army. He needs a good one. Someone to rely into in times of off nights or so that he will not be fatigued. Irving could have been the best for the team but he picks to be a team leader in a different team which is cool. Jordan didn't win championships by himself. He may be the best player of the world but Scottie is there to shoulder everything when he is out. Kukoc, Paxson, BJ, Kerr and a lot more. This is greatness of both team and the Coach who can rotate everyone giving Jordan a lot of rest. Sorry for the comparison but I just thought of it. Why is Lebron getting 40 minutes playing time? It means something. The reliability in his team mates lacks. Lebron can make Sixers a championship team if he will join them. With a good Center, it will be a threat for any teams and they can dominate the inside and outside as the sixers has plenty of good shooters as well. I agree with you. I would like Lebron to go to 76ers instead of going to Lakers. Both the Lakers and 76ers roster are both young but if you can see, the 76ers are better than Lakers so Lebron can seek help there with Embiid, Simmons and more. If Lebron will go to Lakers, it will be almost the same as he did in Cleveland. 76ers have a good shooters as well. Reddick, Covington, Saric and even Embiid is also shooting threes too. He will be fit in 76ers if in case he leaves "THE LAND". That might be a great idea. But as a 76ers fan I would like to see those youngsters to dominate the game. I want to see upgrades with their games specially Ben Simmons. We know he is not much of a shooter but it can be done. With his game that is almost like Magic Johnson then they could really take that championship. They are seen. It just needs to be polished. Maybe trainers are already into that and I want to see it without Lebron. Remember, Lebron plays like a pointguard which will take out the position of Ben. If he goes there, Ben will be nothing more cause he is good with ball handling and Lebron wants that job too. It will not be a good idea. Maybe shooters could go to 76ers like PG13 but not Lebron. There will be a conflict. |

Actually there is not much.
Although I have been here in the forum for a long time I am still late to invest with bitcoin. I have some doubts about it from the start and that makes me doubt to buy too which is my wrong decision of all time.
I didn't expect this to happen and I think a lot of users here have the same experience as mine.
But you cannot live with the past. Now I am a true supporter of it and dont want to just look at the price. I want technology to be seen and bitcoin is a part of it or maybe on the top of it.

Thats a far away specualtion in my own belief.
That price may have almost reached by bitcoin but I think there are some errors with that or is it just tooo much hyped with the people or whales.
Let us just be real and look at it at a good way.
If you go to that price a lot of questions will be thrown leaving a scar or worse could be the end of the crypto currencies.
Once bitcoin goes down everything will fall.

Might get low but there is also a posibility for a larger community. Why?
It is like they are saying it is already legalized by putting tax in it. Right?
It is already an approval of the government.
Bad side? Large investor might be escaping from this. Withdrawal and then not going back anymore. Giving a large blow to the bitcoin price to go down.

Because of all that reason people became wise again making it as an investment. Manipulating the price by making demands go larger instead of continous circulation with the usage of it as a currency.
It is difficult to avoid ot since they see a lot of money coming in.
But the problem became larger when rich people came in. They want more. Trading back and forth with large amounts to manipulate the price.
Who can stop that since bitcoin is not controlled?
We will just have to wait for countries that will accept it.

Somehow it is also freaking me out but not on the bitcoin side.
It is like a big whale is playing with altcoins that keeps on moving it. Making a lot of money in the process and also bringing down other investors since they cannot see when it will come.
Those could be what you are saying now. The power of banks and the government since they have the freedom to do it while one investor needs to go through taxes and other legal documents just so they could invest in crypto making them doubt to do it.
Hate to see it but this is also one reason for a lot of panics.

I think some ICO companies prevented it by not listing on exchanges yet.
They let investors know a little more about them and also the new ones.
I have seen some who did it.
It cannot be due to bounties, that is just a little portions. It might be from the bonuses just like you said.
But there is a catch. The ICO must hit the exact price when listed or else they will be forced to hold.

That is still a large sum of money if you are investing a lot.
It should have been free. But for the sake of their own greedy needs it will be given.
So what is the deal? They will take taxes from crypto investors in what exchange? Will they work harder if an exchange suddenly get hacked again?
Looks like they made some move after helping to solve coinrail problem.

How much more fall is possible in price of bitcoins?
It just did again. Looks like we are going to see more panic sellers from now on and below 5k USD. Yes it might go there but you are all giving away bitcoin to the whales if you do so. Again. It is still at a large price if you are looking at a yearly method. I dont really think it is a good idea to sell. There might be a pump anytime if investors will be deciding to come in. |

And USD getting stronger.
Something smells fishy. I dont think every fiat currency is getting weaker though.
So bitcoin is affected with all of it.
I guess we will just have to wait for a better price or if USD goes down a bit then maybe it will be time for bitcoin.
After a long silence it came to this. Hard to predict the market people, dont get lured to it. This could just be a bait.

Many of you might have noticed some bounty programs payout by shares (the more people involved, the less tokens you get). Others payout a fixed amount. Example complete (a) and receive 100 tokens.
I personally think bounty shares are a scam that no one can calculate without having access to participant data (which is never provided).
Fixed amount bounties are much more traditional and in the bounty hunter tradition. You get what your promised.
What are your thoughts and which do you recommend?
You cannot justify one ICO just because of the rule of their bounty. It aint a scam. It is just that it takes months and they want some workers who will do it until the end of the ICO. If they just pay it weekly then it is going to be a lot of work and also their token is mostly used for selling to the investors for starters. Fixed amounts is mostly used for services in the bitcoin field where they payout weekly to boost the user into giving worthy paid posts. |

Actually, he didnt say that. Now, there are speculations that the Cavs management are trying everything they could to keep Lebron. Their current move is to trade Kevin Love and their No. 8 pick for Kahwai Leonard. For me, this is the right move. I hope the Spurs would agree to this.
Kevin Love. Okay that is a lot of space for the salary cap to be freed. I hope they just get Smith out and get a new guard. Or, they could polish Clarkson as a good substitute for George Hill. They have not much guards in their roster since they have Lebron James but they really need it. We can see Houston as an example and then Golden State almost all are playing like guards even Durant. Green is just the defender inside with some help from Durant. Speed. They need more speed. Players who could keep up with the agility of Lebron. Edit: "Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard has Los Angeles — preferably the Lakers — at the center of his preferences for a trade destination, league sources tell ESPN." It would be an interesting season if kawhi and george will team-up together with the youngsters and thomas, well if they will keep the same line up and acquired kawhi and paul, for me super teams will be build once again coming out this new season, managements are really aiming for good advertising and will do everything to entertain the fans and collect their profits. Not sure with lebron's destination, whatever team he choose he will be a big impact and fans will still love and hate him no matter what. They will need to free some space there and it could be those young players that will be hit and be traded to another team. That is okay though as long as they keep on playing like they did last year and improve. They just lack the experience but they are really doing good. Julius Randle Brandon Ingram Kyle Kuzma This three if given a break could be all superstar. I can see a game like Tayshaun Prince with Ingram and Randle already proved himself by doing a lot of double digits with points and rebounds. Kuzma. This guy is so unique. There will be more great games from him. |

You should buy at each dip starting with the first one. This will help you to miss any investment opportunity.
Yeah right and when is that? How do you know it is already the dip? You will just keep on losing more if you are just buying. Or if your capital can make it. Exchange is needed when you want to grow more bitcoin that is why you will have to analyze it but still it is a risky move. I say just invest what you can lose. Buy the dip then stop. Just hold it, do not keep on buying if you are already at your end. This is also to prevent panic. |
