Back then Im an enthusiast of arbitrage system wherein fees and confirmation time isn't really a factor. It's really time consuming since my approach is manual and that is the basic approach. From exchange comparison to execution, overall it was an interesting activity back then.

But today I rarely see people doing arbitrage and surely it was because of fees, confirmation time and the service of the exchange itself. At some of the cases, exchanges does have a delays in deposits and withdrawals

I believed in today's arbitrage system, there are platforms available now where doing arbitrage is automatic. I also see some ICO projects who have that kind of feature but Im not sure if their service goes live now.

Honestly I don't undestand why other people thinks that DeRozan will be a disappointment to the Spurs fan? How come? DeRozan is more of a role player than being a superstar. In Raptors, he is not the only who do ISO plays and we saw how well their ball rotation is. Meaning he is not always the main man of their offense. Spurs system is always like that much especially they played with no main man last season so surely DeRozan will adopt easily the Pop's system in Spurs.

I see Raptors should have to make more adjustmenst with Kawhi than DeRozan with the Spurs.


Vince Carter is more of an instructor now than a player. I don't know why he still plays. If he want championship, he can easily request on it on a competitive team as he will not harm the cap space but he is not aggressive on that for many years. Maybe getting more $$$ before retirement. He earned $8M last year with the Kings and $2.4M contract this season with the Hawk. That was a decent one for a veteran and no need to played more minutes on the court.

Dirk Nowitzki I believed wants to retire now but he is closed in getting another record, to surpass Wilt Chamberlain in NBA All-Time Scoring. Currently he has 31,183 pts and Wilt has 31,419. It's now within his reached and this season is enough period to reached the goal.

It will now be based on how the website performed in span of 2 years.

Some of the references might be:

Did they able to achieved some of the gamblers expectation?
Did they managed to build up a community?
Did they managed to run the site without any major problems?

2 years span is enough to test the honesty of the site. However in my case, if those references above are not met but I really want to try the game, then I will risk a small amount for first try.

It will not happened even for a decade. Don't worry.

Most people here just expecting too much without looking at the reality and the massive effect of it.

Crypto will grow more but fiat will still be there.

This will take a long discussion so I will leave a simple statement first.

My criteria:

- It should be popular and already established a good name in crypto gambling industry. In case of new ones, I will wait for it to grow first or if there's something that attracts me, I will play with the risks.

- Fair and square

- Good interface and user friendly.

- Smooth , clean and no lag.

- No sh*t registration. Email, Password should be enough.

- Great trust approval by the community.

- Fast phase of deposit and withdrawal.

- Quick support response. This will be based from community response.

Trust is really hard to achieved so I guessed a popular ones will not waste their effort to make their site popular. Meaning choosing a reputable one will minimize the risks of being scammed*. No assurance that everything will be fine at the end but it's way better to minimize the risks.

We can't say it early but we have reasons to assumed on that. There are lots of attempts, negative speculations, FUD that passes by but we all see how bitcoin withstand the established price-low this year.

Should we called this as a bottom? Maybe yes Maybe no. Who knows in the first place.

What matters here is, we now sees even a bit on what price level should we consider the bitcoin's new bottom. That is a good reference for those who want to make an entry.

Analyze first all online offers (payment option) available at your county on LocalBitcoins and see if there's other method there that convenient to you aside from using directly your Paypal.

Since you want to use your Paypal funds, I will assumed your bank account was attached/linked to your Paypal then you may withdraw your cash from there. Then deposit your fiat to your local crypto exchange if any or to other available offers at localbitcoins (that's why I mentioned that you must analyzed first all options).

Lots of work but you can save fees here way better than a direct Paypal payment on which you also aren't sure if you will face problems using them.

People just have to used their "common sense" in order to battle the freaking sh*t activity on the internet.

I've seen some newbies doesn't taking any bait so it means being a newbie is not really the reason why others fall on the scheme of pump groups.

Good work btw to your wonderful infographics.

There are lots of topic already about trading fundamentals.

Anyways this thread suits here: Trading Discussion . You may see some discussions there too with the same idea that might be interested to you.

You can moved the thread by hitting the Move Topic at the lower left of the page.

Giving them a simple encouragement that they must add bitcoin to their payment method is not enough. It requires massive request. As soon as they don't understand how volatile crypto is, no way they can just accept bitcoin as direct payment. Local merchants must maintain a profit day by day so without understanding fully how bitcoin price moves, they will never risks their profits.

And since we are talking about "local" merchants here, the community around is one of the factors too. If bitcoin is not that popular on their area why they should add bitcoin as payment method? That's why they need to understand all things first about crypto in order to take the risks.

But prior to that, it really needs a serious global push for other countries to follow.

Long time user of Bitcoin Ticker Widget here.

Not just it have some alerts but since it's "widget" you can placed the monitoring directly at your home screen for real time price monitoring. Since you used your phone regularly then it will save your time opening the actual app. Even it's running on background, no such thing as it will deplete your battery fast or your phone will became laggy

But since this app doesn't lists all coins on my portfolio, my alternative is Blockfolio app on which the link is provided above by one of the responders here.

Changed that thinking, that is way more better.

You will soon understand.


Just continue doing your usual activity and enhanced it while working on your way up.


How you can earned on a dump market? Obviously you can't but you can play with the price swing. It will need a practice though. If you are really eager to learned this, spend some time learning the fundamentals of doing day trades. It's difficult to learned on a first phase that's why you need more dedication compare to what you have right now in order to make it right.

It will take time but believed me, it's worth it.

Exactly. They see Golden State Warriors owning the NBA now but for me, I don't see it that way. Even last year that was the expectation but look how difficult it was for them to reached the finals. Even the 6th seeded Pelicans snatched a win to them via 19 points lead during playoffs so it means that Warriors also have holes. And now with the addition of DeMarcus Cousins, people are freaking out that Warriors will be the next champion again. Yes it's possible but let's don't close the doors to other teams.


Dirk Nowitzki and Vince Carter are I think the next ones. They aren't veteran. They are now oldies lol. 40+ age.

Talking about ICO projects (since they are the one who I always saw hiring people), based on my own view, some of the projects who hired people about being a social media admin must also handled being a community manager or handling mulitple tasks at the same time. And at most of the cases, social media admins is part of the project team itself so I rarely see some offers for social media admin alone.

But outside crypto maybe there is but since you posted that in a crypto forum, I don't know if someone here will hire you outside crypto business.

And your info is lacking. You must do some ways to let them come to you. Simple statement isn't enough.

Without those mistakes, people will never learned. That's the reality. Even newbies will read that, most of them will not fully understand it because they didn't know the actual situation.

Let them learned the basic information and that's it. If they will experienced mistake on the way then so be it. Those mistakes will keep them more of a better crypto person that's why it's good if they will experienced the mistake in actual.

After all, as soon as they progress, they will now try avoid those mistakes in the future.

Another veteran retirement.

http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/david-west-retires-nba-news-pacers-warriors-spurs-pelicans-hornets-xavier/h7rilycrr0tm1s33l1iow511q]David West retires after 15 NBA seasons

One of the good backup player of the Golden State Warriors. These guy have an overall 4 teams he played on his whole career and got 2 rings in his final 2 season with the Golden State Warriors (2016–2018). Unlike other players who earned their rings without effort*, we all know that West contributes much in Warriors so I will say that he really deserved those rings.

With the retirement of West, I think only 6 or 7 players remained now to that famous 2003-04 draft that is actively playing until now. If Im not mistaken.

Google search then compiled the results.

In most of the cases, general information about cryptos that you will found on any article, site, blogs are all legit. You can also mixed up your search terms to "how to earn bitcoin" ; "things you need to know about bitcoin" or something like that etc.. Just asked the search bar what you want to learned. No need to be on specific site, articles or blogs as you are currently on exploring phase.

Im not afraid that you will fall on a shitty site in the first place even you are new to crypto thing. I believed you know how to deal with the "internet world".

Since you are a newbie, choose a trading platform wherein already built a good reputation in the crypto world. Although no assurance that everything will be fine, by choosing a reputable* exchange, you are minimizing the risks of getting into fraud.

Now here's what to do to sort out things out. Do search of your concern on your favorite search engine then compile all the results. Compile each results including the feedback and description of that exchanges. Now since you posted here, also compile people's view about a certain exchange or you can used again your favorite search engine to find a related thread here in bitcointalk.

It's time consuming but it will help you to find what suits you. After all when time comes that you already built a good experience, you will now know how to play with multiple exchanges and play with the risks.

Your expected thing to happened is closed to reality and in fact we already seeing some merchants who accept a direct bitcoin payment in their physical store. We can surely see that the numbers will grow as years passes by. There are countries who does have a positive approach on cryptocurrency so we can expect that the practice of paying goods using our crypto in the supermarket is bound to happened.

But after all these positive speculations, we can't take away the fact that even for low chance, there is still a possibility that all our speculations will be spoiled. No one knows what will happened to the future so enjoy the current trend and take advantage of what bitcoin or any cryptos can gave to us.

Currently, some ICO's are still reaching their target softcap and hardcap* meaning there are investors who still want a piece of joining ICO's. It's just that during the exchange listing, price drastically turned into below ICO price because all cryptos are proned to volatility and fluctuations. There is also a big difference in the status of this year's market compare to last year's market where some projects got bloomed. Generally speaking, ICO is one of the beneficiary if bitcoin price is on peak.

Just wait for the expected bitcoin dominance again and surely you will see again an interesting happenings in ICO industry. It was obviously linked.
