I can't stop laughing with this scenario where Morris shouted straight at Thompson's ear. Anyway, he deserves to shout because they won at Game 2 Cheesy

I saw what happened to James when he has hit in the arms of Tatum. Cav fans taught that James will be out of the game because of that but anyway, they lost to the young Celtics. Game 3 is a must win game for the Cavs because if they didn't win, they will be out of the series. In the history of NBA, there is no team who won from an 0-3 deficit.


True. It is a must win or their fans will get a little doubtful again about how they play the game.
It should not be just Lebron. They keep on leaning on him and thinks they can do it because of him.
This is not the season anymore. Players should play hard everytime and idle. Just one second of error could mean a lot to the game.
I am not fan of both so I think I will just be a critic here.  Grin

This should be read by those FUDers that have lost money due to a high volatility.
Entering something risky without even knowing the background. Such a foolish way to invest your money. One thing I know, they dont really know how to manage their money.
If you do then you wont be jumping into fire without knowing it can burn you.

Always do.
As long as there is something left with the budget then the urge comes in to buy again.
Never an issue to me as long as it is a legitimate coin.
I am thiniing mostly users of crypto have the same feeling specially when the coin you target is cheap. You want to add more thinking for a larger profit in the future. Well, you are also an addition to the pump afterwards.

Hello guys!

Does anybody have trading experience on Qryptos exchange? Can somebody share its advantages or disadvantages. Also, concerned that it requires personal information to register there.

Can somebody clarify what "taker fee" and "maker fee" mean?

Would be grateful!

I have used this exchange. In addition to personal information you need to pass KYC otherwise you wont be able to withdraw any amount from your account. KYC process is lengthy and it may take upto one month. I have not seen or use thes taker free and maker free option.

Good thing about the exchange is that their support is very responsive and they help in every matter including KYC. They process withdraw in office time only and it take some time. Overall experience is good.

This is already a problem.
At least they should have given like 2 BTC minimum withdrawal a day or a month for the traders. KYC's should be for raising the amount you could withdraw. If not, then get out.
Don't need to go to that taker fee and maker fee. Maybe it is like sHitBTC where they are taking something from you just from deposits.
7385  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: do you believe in luck? on: May 17, 2018, 06:38:09 PM
I do.
Both skill and luck is needed when you are trading since you cannot predict the market.
A whale friend could help, that is if you know one of them. But I doubt they will let their information be leaked. They will just hide with their so called "brokers" that will do the work.

That is when luck comes in. You sell at a high price then suddenly it goes higher. That is bad luck. But if the whale suddenly sells then you are very lucky cause the price will sure fall and you could buy back once again.

It doesn’t seem to be too easy, one need to have device called goTenna mesh that costs $179. The txTenna app will allows users to sync their mobile with goTenna device. Later, using UHF frequencies, allows you to transact offline and send bitcoin with cellular data.

That doesn't seem to be offline at all. You will still need data connectivity even though they advertise it being 'offline'. The only offline part I see here is the use of UHF frequencies. Afterwards, in order to completely do or execute the transaction you'll need to turn on your mobile data and that's it. There's still the need to use the internet in order to relay the tx to the nodes and the rest is history, so this gadget isn't really allowing you to send BTC in dire situations without the internet.

Thanks you.
No need to go google now.  Grin
I guess some posts here really needs a lot of reading before it can be cleared out.
I hope others will do that too before posting I like this and that and cool BS.  Grin

Celtics vs Cavs on Monday. Anyone that has insider if one from the team can't play or all of them are capable?

Cleveland Cavaliers squad are all capable to play.

For Boston Celtics, aside some of their players who are rested for rest of the season/playoffs, the recent one who got injured is Shane Larkin on their Game 4 matched between the Philadelphia 76ers. Although at some point that this guy really helps on defense, his average stats is low so I think his absence can't really bring a bad impact from the whole Boston Celtics squad.

Don't worry about Cleveland Cavaliers and Lebron James because they can't even make any win with in their match between Boston Celtics. They will not go to Finals! Boston in 4. Thoughts? 

I don't know if you really following NBA but even for a 100% Lebron James haters can't ever think of that. Smiley Although it has chances, it's difficult to imagined that Cavaliers will take a rest without any win if ever Celtics will got the series.

I think the majority of Celtics fans will say Boston in 6 but not Boston in 4.

So it's like you saying 0.001% to sweep the Cavs by Celtics. I know cavs sweep raptors but. Let see what will happen for cavs now. I really trust this young Celtics to do that on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's gonna be Rockets vs Celtics in 2018 NBA Finals.

Remember what I said here. Celtics in 4.

Let us see Game 3 first.
Lebron and Kevin Love can still smile at the post game interview of Game 2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2FK2n3T1Vk

I guess they are still confident that they can take them on. But it cannot be just with their home court cause they will still lose.
Maybe they have a new game plan that is being worked out.
Game 3 will tell if they really made some change.
Houston already did.

I hope not.
But if it will then it is not really much effect to me since I am hodling it for a long time.
Just dont want people getting in rampage again here and spreading FUD. Sometimes it goes so deep that they will look like crypto analyst and newbies believes them.

We still need to add supporters and maybe a good bull will help to make their weak hands a bit stronger.
7389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 16, 2018, 11:34:52 PM

I would say that it might be a blessing in disguise. Without Irving, Celtics team really works very hard entering the playoffs. And now when they face Lebron in the East finals, they poured everything at both ends of the court.

The key is how they rotate and not giving enough space for Lebron, although he made a lot of points in the second game, it's still not enough to get the W. I'm not surprised at Jayson Tatum, I already knew that he will be a good player in the future.

So we are back in the Cavaliers homecourt, I'm sure that the Cavs will win Game 3 and make it 2-1.

Yes. The absence of Irving, make way for more minutes on the court to Terry Rozier. He is actually a part of the bench squad but now become a started since Irving left. Same with the absence of Hayward. Brad Stevens successfully filled the missing link and those who are selected don't turned him down.

Anyways, the problem with Cavaliers is all of them. They are all about LeBron James. Just noticed that everytime LeBron is on the bench, both offense and defense are crashed by the Celtics. I think Korver is in good shape at early phase but it didn't maintained at the end. Overall, all Cavaliers squad aside from LeBron are not performing well. Can't see a ball hog issue to LeBron on the other side as he has 12 assist. His teammates are literally heavy.

Celtics is playing purely with a role players, same with the Cavaliers squad but we can see how Celtics managed to do it good. No surprised if Celtics will won this series and they really deserved it.

Yes. That is all hardwork. They really deserve the Finals if ever they will continue this kind of game.
They got nothing to lose. That is the best player in the world they are playing and they are all newbies which got a lot of years to play.
It is a chance of a lifetime to successfully get out there with a good fight.

Now what could Tyron Lue's gameplan be. They should really create something out of those bench players.

Why not bitcoin as an example? Why Ripple? Is it really that greater than bitcoin? Maybe Ethereum or Litecoin also.
There will be another problem after all that good things that you have said.
Too much tokens and coins are out getting investors and users to be confused on what should be used.
Bitcoin Cash as an example. They have made victim of investors thinking they are the real bitcoin. How much did they get from that?
7391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 16, 2018, 04:21:53 PM
Checked Nitrogen Sports and the odds for tomorrows game is +377 for Houston Rockets and -515 for Golden State Warriors. I am itching to place my bet to Houston Rockets since its still a home court advantage to them and after their loss on Game 1, they should have learned how GSW play.

Could be. But those are really great odds. Yeah I guess I will bet a little for that although I am a GSW fan.
There could be some changes with their plays and this could get a 1-1. Maybe they just got too excited with WCF and will be in good form by the next game. They will need to find out who will defend KD. They already did a good one with Curry but they are too much focused with it.


They are a very different team from last year's ECF and so is the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics have the advantage here over the Cavaliers because James and some of the new faces of the Cavs needed time to acquaint and jell to the system of coach Tyron Lue.

I don't think of it that way. They didn't use Clarkson and Nance much. It is still the old Cavs that played the most of it.
It is just about defense. I can see that they are lacking the rotation. There is one time that Smith left Brown at the three point line because he is going the other way and he just nodded afterwards. He knew he left someone there. Rotation will be the key to win. That is what Celtics did to them.
7392  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Depending your future in bitcoin... on: May 16, 2018, 01:33:19 PM
I think bitcoin is really a good investment for now, but I don't think it is a good idea to put all your investment in bitcoin or crypto currencies since it is unpredictable and very risky to take. For me it's still better to start your own business than depend your future in bitcoin investment.

What do you think guys?

No it is not.
I dont think people should think like this way. A wise man will never depend his future on any risky investment.
I am not against bitcoin and I actually support it but it doesnt mean you will have to throw everything to it and then just be lazy.
There is so many things that you can do to make your future safe. This is just one addition, not the whole idea.
7393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 16, 2018, 06:28:20 AM
I guess I was wrong about the Celtics. They just proved that even with an unexperienced team with a good young talents can potentialy win against a strong opponent. They just played very well, and I guess we'll gonna see different team in the finals.
You can't count out the Cavs since they are going home to clear up this series.
I can't believe they lost with James get 42 points tonight.
Seems like he is doing all the work while the others are just standing around watching him play. Undecided

I couldn't believe it either but what a fantastic turnaround from the third quarter by the Celtics. They totally outclassed the Cavs even after Lebron's heroics and i think they have a lot of work to do now that they are down by 2, that is if they have any chance of making it to the finals .
Lebron James is now also down from this point on of the series. Not unless he will want to have some kind of wake up call by not only himself but by other players in the team they won't defeat Boston Celtics. I mean come on Hayward and Kyrie Irving is not even in the roster, yet it looks like Boston is schooling the Cavaliers, don't hate me on this one but that is the reality we are seeing right now.

Lebron must have been missing Kyrie by now. Grin
They all did their job on the offensive end but how about the defense. 1st half is good but they wear out on the 2nd half giving the young Celtics the chance to get the lead.

Out of desperation of JR Smith he commits a flagrant foul because he cannot do the defense.
I will agree with the commentator there, that should have been a flagrant 2. That is a kill push. It can lead to an injury, Horford just got lucky with a clear landing. Cameraman down there is fast to avoid him.

Flagrant 2 = 2 freethrow, possession and ejection of Smith.

I can see they are really using this advisors pretty well.
There are rules that are not known by regular people and this advisors have the books for it.
They need them for that. This is kind of an odd question though. I didnt even expected someome will ask that.

It is easy to say or read to just HODL your coins but the fact is that when your portfolio falls, it is very hard to bear. But one cant do nothing as this volatility cannot be controlled and one should bear it and survive it.

i do agree with you and it could be the hardest part for all the hodlers.
If this comes to me I just try to remember what a good friend always tells me. "No matter what happens you will still have the same number of bitcoin".
If you sell it then can you get it back? What if a sudden rise came. You cannot go back after that.
You wont be buying at a larger price. That is considered as loss too.
With that, I can clear my mind with doubts.
7396  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 15, 2018, 08:34:43 PM
Anyone seen those bad habits of Chris Paul. He is really desperate to get that western conference finals. Referees never called even one.

Golden State taking the steal at Houston homecourt. Durant really made me Wow.

It is really different when it is at the Playoffs. Even Boston have to change the way they defend. A lot of switches justso they could match every star player.
I saw when Chris Paul was attempting to foul Durant while coming down with the ball from a rebound in his end of the court.
Didn't know he was such a dirty player.
He elbowed him while his back was turned away from him and got him in the back side then the back of his leg, which I think he was going for.
CP3 I think was hired as the muscle in which Houston was looking for.
More of an enforcer so in order to double team their opponents from what Harden is known for doing in drawing the fouls by doing questionable things during a game.

There is one more time, another elbow after the rebound I think and it was Klay who was almost reached by it. Good thing he dodged it.
Desperation can do a lot of things. But in basketball it could also lead to a game where you will lose because of that madness.

Foul troubles have been also the key in the 3rd quarter. Ariza getting 5 fouls is a loss to them. We know Ariza is one of their good defensive player with all the steals that he gets.
He came in at 4th very careful to not be fouled out. The defense became weak afterwards.
7397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reputation of Bitcoin in the Philippines. on: May 15, 2018, 06:21:47 PM
To be honest, the phillipine's community is not large, specially if we talk about cryptos, so for me, there is nothing to be worried about.
And this was a specific case, there is nothing special with it.

Yes.There are still few of the population who have known bitcoin well and those for sure were not totally affected by the reported news.Bitcoin is legit and it's never a scam for us.But for those who have heard bitcoin for the first time will make a negative impact on bitcoin thinking it would not bring any good to the economy of the Philippines.

Maybe that is because of lack of knowledge. If they do not really understand it then they wont even have a little trust with bitcoin.
I bet the Philippine Government would not even advertise this kind of currency. It will be a mess if they did and taxes that will come in will be low.

Old supporters will still continue and they could be the key into making people understand it, small or large group is a good addition to the community.

It is really different when it is at the Playoffs. Even Boston have to change the way they defend. A lot of switches justso they could match every star player.
KD is the best player of the game in Game 1. KD and Thompson are on fire at the game and Curry did what he must did although the 2 did more that made them win the game. They have neutralize the three-pointers of the Rockets and didn't made that many threes compare to Warriors. Moreover, only Harden is the only player who are moving that much. The rest are just standing base on some of their possessions. They must defend KD even more so that they have the chance to win game 2.
As I have said before, Kevin Durant is a big factor and he can get early and score, there's a high chance that the Warriors will win the game. He's the only consistent player from the 1st quarter up to the last minute, hitting clutch after clutch. We all notice how tight Chris Paul is, maybe he's really desperate to impress the crowd however, they are facing the best team in the West. It's really hard to play Kevin Durant because he's tall and can shoot and penetrate as well. And you can see that when there is a rotation, Durant always took advantage by making those fade away shots.

Yes that is what I said about CP3. By impressing the crown he is also losing the game and did not even notice it. He is too hot-headed and that is not how you should play in the Finals. He should really cool down and make the plays if he really want the ring.
That steal of Game 1 makes a huge difference in the confidence of the Houston team. Game 2 might become a snatch again.
Although Curry didnt make much points, just being there gives the team a huge confidence and also he did good in the rotation. He just keeps on moving, sometimes I dont even notice he is on the other side that fast.

It sounds so bad when it is headlined as Bitcoin Scam. Why it doesnt happen with fiat?

They should change on how they make titles like that. Bitcoin is a currency so it will be regular if it will be used to different scams or hyips.
This kind of errors makes people believe when the bitcoin word is heard they will already disagree.
