Should not be.
Idiots will be the one who will be affected by it.
Choose the news that you will believe in.
If you think there is something wrong with the details of one who spread it then do research.
Dont be fooled by FUD. Those can be tricks for traders or whales to get back what they have loss.

Well, what a game I just watched between the Cavs and the 76ers. 76ers up at halftime 78-55 and look in complete control of the game, but then the Cavs had a great 3rd quarter and made it a one point game at one point in the 4th. Lebron had a chance to send the game to OT in the last 2 seconds of the game but missed the second FT. Great game by the 76ers but you cannot blow a lead like that, they started double-teaming a Lebron James that had a 40+ point triple double and had to rely on the Rookie Cedi Osman who missed two wide open 3s to take the lead but who couldnt handle the pressure, great win by the 76ers in this really important game, now they are ahead of the Cavs in the Conference. Watching this game I noticed how much help Lebron needs and how good and unexperience the 76ers can be.
This game only showed that they need Embid, the center who replace him is not scoring like he is doing.
With the way they play which is very inconsistent, this young team who ha no championship experience yet will be having a problem when playoffs come.
I agree, Joel Embid is their main man. They can't win a series without him in the middle. Also they are one of the least experience teams coming to the playoffs. If Embid won't be back this coming playoffs then they have to wait yet again for another season to try to go to the Finals.

But hey Cleveland really fought with their might and Lebron got 42 points. That is without Embiid in 76ers.

You cannot tell what will happen. If all will play well then they can really get a shot with the Finals.

Looks like Westbrook got what he wanted taking a safe spot with a win in Houston. A great game with two offensive teams. Brewer might be a little off with all those threes but I guess team effort made solution to win it.

I just noticed that Lebron became a ball hogger especially in crunch time. 76ers lineup is deep the recreation and process are now showing off. But I must agree that Embid's intensity on court is a factor for the 76ers, but let us not forget that simmons is the initiator for the team.



I must say that Embid's capabilities is in a top notch. But don't you forget that 76ers also have a deep line up. That can work with or without Embid. Especially that simmon's acts as there playmaker and the leader on court. I see embid as moral booster for the team though the potential of being the leader is there.

Correct. Even before when he does like 38 minutes of gameplay in Cleveland. He gets the ball everytime and do an isolation.

It is a good thing if he can score everytime but it takes off the energy of the team.
Handling the ball for a second for every team mate could make a lot of difference. Somehow it will give them some energy.

After he scores who will be energized to defend?

They cannot defend their lead but that is Cleveland so it is just normal that they can take it back to a narrow lead.

But 76ers still made it and that is all that matters. Now, who will fight who. They have a chance now to make it to the first round if they will battle with the Miami Heat.

A good third quarter triple double for Ben. They dont even have Embiid there. They are being targeted at the paint since the start. Too much mismatch.

Lebron did how much he is being paid. A good game for both team.

Money is everything to people so I see the reason behind this.
But services should also be seen.
Once projects using bitcoin comes out it will be an easy way for bitcoin to grow its value.
Maybe not now or not this year but technology changes and people will have to go with the flow.
Bitcoin is so advanced for the community right now and that is why it should just be kept.
Hold it and if you want money then you will get it.
7546  Economy / Speculation / Re: I believe BTC is going to trend down to $5,000 whats your thoughts on: April 06, 2018, 08:55:27 PM
IMO BTC is going to continue to trend down and settle around a range of $4,500 to $5,500 at a new psych level. Reasons are slow adoption world wide from other countries than Japan and growing competition from alts. 

I hope not.

Another wave of FUD's will happen if that happens and worse case is higher percentage of bitcoin holders could panic that history might repeat itself.
The strong hands will be left and I know that. Hodlers will stay.
But everything can be pulled down even with the smallest amount holder. With addition of FUD and false predictions it could end up getting lower than that.

Anyone dark horse team in the East that can stop the Toronto vs Cavs party?

Toronto Raptors can be stopped but for Cleveland Cavaliers I doubt there will be a great contender aside from Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors (on which I sees will also have a hard time dealing with the Cavaliers).

Let's recap those other teams that already clinched the playoffs berth on the East:

4 Philadelphia 76ers
5 Indiana Pacers
6 Miami Heat
7 Washington Wizards
8 Milwaukee Bucks

Let's say these teams will remained at their respective spot, Cavaliers will faced: (6) Heat and (2) Celtics or (7) Wizards then finals. We can see here that Cavaliers already dominated their bracket.

On Toronto Raptors, Im seeing they will have a hard time dealing with ( 8 ) Bucks and will also have the same experience on who will win between Pacers and 76ers. And that's it.

*just my own speculation


I will go for Philadelphia now in the Eastern Conference. Even with the rookies there they could have a good chance of going to the next round. I would also be happy if they could just give some of this teams a hard time to get to the next round too.
Game 7 would be lovely and shake them for being nervous.
Remeber, it will be a different aura in the playoffs. There is a big change in plays that will happen. Plus, they will be focusing on weaknesses of just one team and attack that.
76ers in the Eastern with a bunch of rookies and an injured Embiid? I dont think they will make it far, I think the best they could do if they stay healthy is a second round, but I hope they get experience because Simmons has a bright future, and a lot of rumors about Lebron joining them? Really like this young team but this year is just a rebuild, dont expect much.

Yeah just recently saw what happened to Embiid and it is really going to be a lot of problem.
I am rooting for that guy to make a big change with the playoffs since they are full of rookies.
With Embiid out the gameplay of 76ers will be changes. The outside game will be crucial from now and they will really need it.
They can do it before with Embiid around pulling the big defensive guys out because of his 3 pointer. Now how are they going to score in the paint if it is in full defense.

They will still give them a hard fight though.
9th team to win 9 straight games even without Embiid for the last games. They are creating history again.

Life is already a gamble. Everything around you is a gamble. You walk around you gamble your life and be prone to anything that could happen to you.
If that is the explanation of all of this, then they should have not existed anymore. Maybe killing themselves will be the answer. But hey that is also forbidden.  Grin

You can either think of it as a gamble or just buy it because you are thinking for your own future. If you think it is the currency we will use after all fiat is burned then being in the first lane will be a good idea right? Instead of having war with others just so you could buy one bitcoin for a larger price.
7549  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Governments Kill Bitcoin? on: April 05, 2018, 11:34:37 PM
Government can not kill what they dont have outright power over. though government has a big roll to play when it comes to policy making in a country but as far as bitcoin is concerned it is a decentralized currency which cannot be only control by a single government. so no country policy can kill the existence of bitcoin the worst a country can do is to ban it from being used in their country and that can not determine in-existence of bitcoin.

Yes but they can somehow make their own private currency.
Have you seen USDT? It is like a currency of the government that doesnt even fluctuate. It is as equal as the USD that is made online.
Some day that token will blow and they will be losing all their money investing with it. They thought they have already escaped the dips. But now they are under the surveillance of the government and anytime they can take it without people knowing they are the one behind it.
It will just be a manner of time.

7551  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin value on: April 05, 2018, 12:36:41 PM
That is how every thing will be valued in this world. As long as it is believed that it has usage and some meaning on it.

It will not go this far if that aint the reason. Look at thr painting Monalisa. Why does it have that much value although it is just a piece of cloth with a picture on it.
The painter made it so important that it should be seen as a good art and so it does. Rich people are trying to get it and that is why now it is valuable.

Same with gold, diamond and silver. Witg every thing that have a limited amount but gained the trust of people then it is considered a high value thing.
7552  Economy / Economics / Re: BITCOIN IS NOT BUBBLE!! on: April 04, 2018, 11:50:15 PM
Lets face it,  BTC is in trouble.  bTC's Bubble exploded at 19k.  Now we are heading downto  3k or lower.  After that another journey for BTC.

What trouble? You are a Senior Member here and still you are not seeing how far bitcoin went for the past 1 year?
It is not in trouble, it had made a lot of price hike. The real problem is people getting used with a larger price. Why not look at its value?

Now regarding the bubble. I agree with the OP. It is not a bubble. It is just those organizations will keep on bringing bitcoin down so that people will go back to the traditional investment. They might not like the competition because of the billion dollars that are now coming into the crypto world. They want it. Who doesnt? They profit from it. The money they will spend for spreading false news will be nothing compared to what they will profit if they can pull people out of crypto.
7553  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin price fall day by day ? on: April 04, 2018, 09:40:05 PM
It is known that there is no infinite growth. From September 2017, bitcoin grew at a non-rally pace. Now we can observe the correction process.

For some reason, that is the only opinion that I would disagree.

Not a correction but look at the news now. Nothing good about bitcoin after that silly hike at 19k USD. Some group may have felt that is not ordinary and now trying to bring bitcoin down.

If there is one more reason it could be investors switching to another token.
7554  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Planning to sell all my btc as its too low now :( on: April 04, 2018, 04:10:44 PM
Don't you have extra money for that?
You might be wasting a lot if you do that. Yes, both are in deep bearish mode but this is just for a while.
If you really want invest with Ethereum, then it would be better to get another budget for that.
You are risking more than making profit out of the dips that are happening.
Think twice. Do not rush it.
7555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: They are coming with a new way to attack Crypto currencies! on: April 04, 2018, 12:02:41 PM
I guess once they see bitcoin whitepaper then they should have known it should not be a private one.

They will make it as narrow as they can for people to move. Soon we will all be in one space that they can easily erase.

We have no choice but to make people learn what ceypto should be. It will not be different with fiat if they will be in control.
Again, once money is related they want a grip of it.
7556  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lightning Network. Will it happen for real? on: April 03, 2018, 06:00:00 PM
A few months ago, when bitcoin transactions costs had reached 50 dollars per TX, there was a lot of buzz about LN just around the corner. Now that the price of bitcoin as well as costs associated with the transfer of coins fell dramatically, no one seems to be talking about LN any more. I don't question its technical feasibility, it is definitely possible. I'm more interested whether anyone will be using it given today's conditions apart from a few die-hard enthusiasts. Exactly one year ago LN had been activated in litecoin, but no one is using this technology for real with this coin.

So, where are we now with LN in bitcoin? Has it been abandoned and forgotten?

I am guessing it will be too much for the users.
Look, some of us will know how to work it out but some cannot. So they need make it as basic as possible. I have read it one time and didn't understand it at just one read. Tried to read back and forth and it came to me that it is going to be hard for others.

That is why it is taking more time than it should be. They know it and will be working it out some more to make it as easy as it should be for most of the users.
7557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Vitalik Buterin: I agree that Bitcoin is better than gold on: April 03, 2018, 04:31:03 PM
I am sure that is not how he use English right?  Grin Maybe he just rephrase it after reading it somewhere.

But for the sake of this discussion, I would like to agree that bitcoin is better.
Let us make real questions about gold. What are its usage? The actual ones? It was made to be valuable because of its shine. They say it is hard to mine it now but I bet it was just scattered in plain sight before.
They just kept most of it and Voila! it is valuable.

We could do the same with bitcoin. HODL most of it then look at it now. But we should really look at the usage afterwards. It should not have the same fate as gold did. Not just as investment.

I hate when young people that never saw a single game of Michel Jordan on TV or something and talk like he is the GOAT.
Few youtube videos don't make an expert, keep that in mind. And enjoy watching Lebron, he will clearly pass the all-time scoring record, which is crazy.
Micheal Jordan's charisma and attitude i think separate him from Lebron James. I was lucky enough to watch Michael Jordan plays at his peak and watch the beauty of his plays.
Michael Jordan was a king among kings when the likes of Magic Johnson and Dominique Wilkens were playing up against him and the Chicago Bulls were a team going to the playoffs as Golden state are every year.
He wasn't very arrogant and always had a smile when he played.
He was a gentle giant on the court, and LeBron James is not.

Haters? lol.

You will not see the positive traits on the other side as long as you only looking on a single side. There are big differences about Michael Jordan and LeBron James nature and system during their time and for me, it's doesn't making sense to compare those. Why in the first place?

Just enjoy the game mate and appreciate greatness. Smiley

True.
Lebron have a different kind of game and he is not trying to mimic Michael Jordan that is why he became great in basketball. He won't be in that place and that kind of high salary if they see them as a shadow of one player.

Remember this. There are scouts in NBA and once they traced you it will be easy to make you fall by just learning how you play. Look what happened with Jeremy Lin. Scouted and down he go.

Those who got in at a far number dont really have much of a choice.
Selling will just make the losing part at a larger number.

I guess I would agree with your opinion. We are not that veteran when it comes to financial fluctuations. I dont have a degree of anything about economics or finance.

All we can do is rely with the technology. Somehow it is changing and the wave tells me bitcoin and other crypto will be part of that.

Merits for being unique. Thanks.

Do you guys think there are some group that truely helps our new trader to earn?

None. It will always be for their own agenda to profit.
This guys usually lurks at telegram groups. Beware.

Better just get news with the official telegram page of the coin you are supporting. That way, there will be users or admin who can tell whether there is a big investor incoming.
Dont go biting this kind of agenda or you will just lose it and more. Even those paid groups wont help. It will be just about the money.
