Hmmm, I think I'm more of a hit and run. Whenever I win, I will just quit and save the money I have won. All these things have thought me a lesson a lot of times. Before when I was n't the hit and run type, I'd win and still continue with the play in hope that I'm going to win extra money but before I will realize what's happening I've already lost all the money I got from the first win and then I will have to play with my money which I also end up losing most of the times. So I mostly run once I hit a win, better to manage what I have got than to go seeking for more and lose all.
83  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I spend the daily expense by playing gambling? on: May 17, 2019, 11:52:26 AM
It is possible but we know in gambling luck isn't always on our side. So what if you loss 1week or more and you have family. You won't eat then, will you take a risk? Not a good idea in any angle. Daily expenses should come from a stable job that gives you a steady income. Not from a thing that depends on luck.
You can’t just assume that it’s impossible because you feel the income coming from gambling is not always stable but you should know that different people to how they plan and how they manage themselves. I know of a family man that lives his life on gambling, no other source of income and he has a kid. I sometimes imagine how he survives with this but I know so well that, that is what he does for a living and he is a professional gambler.

From my discussion with that man I realized that not all gambling is a game of luck. There are some that requires skills and professionalism and a lot of work is always put into such to bring about consistent earnings. So anyone that desires to spend a living from gambling might have to go through that process by learning, studying and doing all that is required to keep winning.
I am so happy to know that the gambler you know shared the little secret with you. Many people, who assume that it is hard to make constant money out of gambling, mostly have no idea about how it works. I am not totally in support of that, but for those who cannot get a job and need a source of income, they can decide to make it one and learn all that is required to achieve this.

I gamble for fun and I am not an advocate of people who depend on gambling to take care of their needs, but then, if as a gambler, you feel you can achieve this, then go ahead. Who are we to judge? Gambling for money will not be so easy because of the uncertainty in the game.
84  Economy / Economics / Re: Current Market state on: May 17, 2019, 11:15:19 AM
Now we can say with confidence that we are seeing a very good growth in the cryptocurrency market, which we have not seen since 2017.

Maybe you are not aware that the price of most of cryptos on 2017 are all pumping higher than on what we currently have right now  but its not yet late for this year to catch up .  we dont know maybe this year the crypto market can pump better than we experience on the year 2017   .

Current market state right now is better than previous weeks , lets hope that the increase will continue so that it can attract more potential investor  .

I think back in 2018, the crypto fell because of the state of its adoption, the social media were taken off any adverts and relation with ICO and cryptocurrency but now, I think we are getting to this height because of the current state of acceptance. For instance, some banks are looking at researching on blockchain technology and as op said, Facebook reported acquires blockchain startups.
These are few out of the many fundamentals that I am really expecting to get bitcoin to a very big development level this year and I am sure that in one way or the other, some of these projects will really add big value to the rice of bitcoin.

The only challenge in the market now that needs to be solved is the issue of ICO scam, because this is the major barrier that is really contributing to the growth of bitcoin, back then when bitcoin started mooning, we would realize that it was that time we had lots of iCO in the market then, many investors got to know about Cryptocurrency trough this ICO till scammers came to discourage them.
85  Economy / Economics / Re: Regulation of Cryptocurrency Around the World on: May 17, 2019, 10:44:07 AM
I hope 2 - 5 years from now, those countries which considered cryptocurrency as illegal will reverse their decision.
Just like facebook reversing its ban on crypto advertising, I think we will be seeing some good improvement in the long run.
Crypto regulation needs to take place, a standard regulation would help for these countries to understands how to regulate and eventually adopt.

Of course, they simply will not have a choice. When most of the world will use cryptocurrency on a daily basis, the rest will be forced to follow their example in order to keep up.

And in that time, the mass adoption will fully be completed because all country in the world decide to use cryptocurrency daily and we will see a whole new era at that time. The regulation in each country will not be the same, and it follows the situations on that country, and I think the government will have time to discuss on what kind of regulation that they will apply for the cryptocurrency.
at this time , much countries already to admit that bitcoin or cryptocurrency were usefull for them in any field.and some of them has soft regulation about cryptocurrency and they allowed merchants in their country accept bitcoin or other crypto.this is will be good start and will bring positive impact to market

Very few countries are allowing their people to start using the cryptocurrency but we don't know whether they are directly allowing the customers for trading the coins. Many countries don't have proper regulation for the cryptocurrency but still, people are showing a lot of interest towards the cryptocurrency.

If the country bans crypto , no one uses it  .   so far it has been said that there are now over 100+ countries that currently legalize cryptocurrencies  . this number is huge but i dont know or i dont think that there are countries that regulize cryptos because what i know is that cryptocurrencies are decentralized and cannot possibly be control by any entity  . 

 i forgot that there are also know to be centralized cryptos such as xrp , i think this are the ones that can only be regulated .
If government is to regulate crypto, I am sure they will jointly encourage more of centralized crypto like XRP or probably create their own currency that will make it easier for them to regulate, so in the end, bitcoin might be the only standing decentralized currency.

The trend will then change t to centralized token, which is why for now, bankers are backing XRP more than other token out there. Imagine each of the countries we have in this world unitedly agree that each of them gets experts in blockchain to write their cryptocurrency code that will enable them to be able to regulate the activities of uses, the system will still run on blockchain but centralized, which I am sure they will enforce it in people.

Now, it appears more reports are coming in, with the latest seeing one Toronto man losing $2,000 via the McDonald’s mobile app, by yet another ‘Hamburglar’

This is just another example why many of us feel like nothing can be safe in our interconnected and online world as there will always be weaknesses, vulnerabilities, bugs, back door exploits and similar problems that can affect any system. At the end of the day, the consumers are the ones bearing the burden as these big corporations can take time to solve similar incidents. I am looking forward for the time when the blockchain technology can be utilized to safeguard and secure these payment facilities so that we can enhance the trust and confidence of them...this news is not serving well for the mainstream adoption of bitcoin and the likes as third party infrastructures can be exploited by genius hackers and scammers.
They are the problems of themselves, and I see it as all pride, whatever you wished for in this statement has already been covered by bitcoin and that is why satoshi created a more secured system that would make it difficult for any vulnerabilities.

We started having all these issues when many people wants to create their own payment system like satoshi and they don’t seems to get it right, I wonder what need is it for people to still continue to create an online payment apps that are not secured rather than depending on what satoshi has already worked out, I am sure by now, they would have been realizing that bitcoin payment processor is still the safest.
87  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The beginning of the bullish trend in the crypto market on: May 16, 2019, 03:16:34 PM
Friends I ask everyone to notice the fact that when Bitcoin reaches the level of 6000$ - 7000$ there will be a change of the trend and the market will gain capitalization within 2-3 years at least 1 trillion $
Bitcoin is currently above $8000 and the overall market capitalization is around $239,000,000,000 area!  If the market capitalization should grow to $1,000,0000,0000,0000 then bitcoin should be above $40,000 to $50,000 and by then that is were I think we have arive.  In reality and in true the bullish trend has commenced and it starts about two months a go when we noticed a strong technical setup on weekly chart.  The bearish market is over and there is no need of waiting for the market to fall below $5000 or $4000 before buying but keeping the momentum going by buying now.
Yes, I know that the momentum bitcoin is really using to climb now is very high but we still need to be careful as the possibility of big pull back could still occur, provided we have profit takers in the market.

Before making more investment, we should just be sure that the market is also not being overbought because if it becomes overbought, there will surely be a big dip and that would be the best time for one to buy and not now, but anyway, I know we have lots of risk taker in the market and would still not mind buying more bitcoin to hold till the market capitalization reaches 1 trillion.
88  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: OYP Token, anybody knows anything about it? on: May 16, 2019, 09:07:10 AM
That has first of all knocked its reliability off, when they are not satoshi, we should leave satoshi alone with this anonymity of the system, and other project team should show their face and stop hiding for their dubious act.

Why would a team first not show their face in the midst of this entire forum about scams everywhere, this is even the more reason why ICO should proof themselves now to the world that they are genuine for any genuine project. Some projects just copy other people’s ideas and not because they can really carry it out, we just have to be careful.
89  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Tether die soon or it will survive? on: May 16, 2019, 07:37:39 AM
Hi there I want know what people think about this question.I heard that Tether creator stoled a lot of Tether or cheated somebody dont know full story and that this will dump Tether price very soon  Huh Huh
Well, I do not think that was what really happen, they were only accused of over printing coin and their figure is not based on the real value of what they have, which they never even agree for them to be audit, so it means their transaction looks kind of shady and would be better for people to abstain from such right now.

This might also be the reason why bitcoin has been increasing in value, probably people ate beginning to exchange their USDT holding back to BTC since it requires for them to change it to BTC before they can move it. I see tether really dyeing soon, but we still have other stable coins in the market that are doing fine.

I think Durant doesn't need to come back at all. Blazers vs warriors could be done in 4 games as well, I mean it could definitely be a 5 game or hell even 7 game who knows but it looks like sweep is quite possible, if warriors lose one game then maybe Durant could come back for the 5th game and get some prep time for the finals but honestly I feel like even without Durant for all of this playoffs warriors could easily beat both blazers and raptors/bucks.

Durant is a player that puts you above everyone else and makes you invincible but without Durant warriors are not a bad team, they deserve to be the best team out of last 4 even without Durant. Last nights game was just pure fun and they didn't even worked too hard to win it, the game was over in the first minute.
91  Economy / Economics / Re: What's it like to live on crypto instead of Banks? on: May 14, 2019, 05:34:45 PM
Imagine living your life without depending on Banks ever again. Using only cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, you can make your own income stream and use the coins earned to buy stuff from merchants who accept them. Every day, cryptocurrencies have been going closer towards full mainstream adoption. However, there are still some things which prevent crypto from being used over traditional payment systems we've been accustomed to for a long time.

Nonetheless, what's it like to live only on crypto instead central-bank issued fiat money? Cheesy
Making use of cryptocurrency instead of banks, let's assume that you have all your money in a cyypto wallet, well you're about to either be a very rich person or a broke ass. Your worth will be up and down with crypto as it moves, if the market falls then you will be broke, cause most of the investors will withdraw their money as the price falls and you that has decided to make use of crypto will get stuck in it.

It's not really good idea, this is for the purpose of investment, but if you decide to live your life on it, then you've put yourself on the line and be ready to take the risk. Bank is the safest place to keep your money as long as you're not breaking any rules, you will be alright. You need to have money in banks and also be an investor cause investment is very important.
That is why we have stable coins, you think by the time crypto is fly regulated and virtually everyone adopts it, there will still be this much volatility, No, by that time, bitcoin would have even be too expensive for people to manipulate and it will be more useful for utility other than the investment part of it that we are always holding on to.

Government regulations and control, even if it is an anonymous system would not make it possible to always have dump, crypto banks too will still have their own laws in regulating it, and you are the one getting it wrong that it is for the purpose of investment, the idea of crypto was to create a payment system between peers to peers while getting little reward from that, but as it is now, many people wants to turn it to a get quick rich scheme.
92  Economy / Economics / Re: ‘Crypto not meant for humans’ says Anthony Pompliano on: May 14, 2019, 04:31:41 PM
I think he means it in the same way some people would say electricity, the internet, or let's just say more broadly, technology is not meant for humans. ....

Electricity , internet or technolgy in general is still meant for humans or should i say primarily meant for humans  . secondary use would be for animals or for other non living things . they also need a technolgy so that they can improve and develop more effectively just like us humans   .

that is the same as cryptos , cryptocurrencies are invented because of the devs of cryptos wants to exeperience a way of paying or a currency that is independent or not tied up with the banks   . cryptos are really built for human because humans are the only one that can use cryptos  .
There are just so much contradictions in his line of thoughts, if he say crypto is not meant for human, I guess he must just be speaking in parable because the question we need to be asking him is, who’s the inventor of cryptocurrency?Is the person not humans? And the problem cryptocurrency was proffered to as solution, whose problems are they, is it not humans?

Maybe they all need to really sit down and fully breakdown satoshi’s whitepaper for them to fully understand what he created cryptocurrency for before they start talking from their personal assumption.
93  Economy / Economics / Re: Chinese rating cryptocurrency on: May 14, 2019, 03:47:43 PM
Of course they have their own 'methodology' and we need to respect that.

But for those who have so much experience in this market, we all know why Chinese hates bitcoin and would promote other altcoins which doesn't make sense at all, unless in our point of view.

So I would rather not listen any news coming from China, and not stressed ourselves because we all know that they have their own motives releasing this kind of news to us.

We have move on already, and China giving bad news on bitcoin will not affect its market anymore.
They support altcoins because they have a better technology than bitcoin, but they cannot dictate the people, they will only trust the first popular crypto in the space and that is Bitcoin. As of now, no signs of Bitcoin getting replace, in fact it's again having a good bull run.
China will have no choice than to also join the cryptocurrency later, I know they are very strong and in terms of technology, and we really need them, especially because of these mining machines which are quite cheaper for miners to get from china.

I learnt their decision to stop miners was on the 7th of May but until now, I am still yet to see any news as regards that or any effect of it on the market, I guess they must have silently scrap that idea of banning miners. This is how bitcoin has been gradually overtaking the world through the hype and through the FUD, fortunately, FUD news has not even been having any effect on the market of BTC.
94  Economy / Speculation / Re: This is getting a bit out of hand.... on: May 14, 2019, 11:45:55 AM
We need a pull back and then, on?
You must be a selfish one mate, this is a prayer or wish of a selfish cryptonian like me, I also want a pull back so I can pick another dip for the one I have sold and taken profit on. There has been some few pull back though, but it’s not enough, every time those tiny pull back comes, all we see again is a forceful push up.

I am still expecting a correction of $6000, and I am very optimistic about that always, because from that dip pull back is when we will have a very high surge in the price of bitcoin and other altcoins that are responding to bitcoin movement, bitcoin might even shoot as high as $15,000 after this pull back.
95  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Reach $100,000? on: May 14, 2019, 11:05:08 AM
Nobody actually knows the future and what it entails especially when it comes to the speculative crypto market but i am quite optimistic about the rise of bitcoin and its new all time high. There are so many suggestions but i think $100k is quite an exaggeration. The highest i am thinking is around $50k
This is just a guess of each person, but in fact Bitcoin is still in a declining period so it is still difficult to achieve $50,000. I think instead of predicting, you should find a way to analyze Bitcoin because the volatility of this coin will help you earn a lot of useful knowledge if you have free time to do it. Personally, I will not make any choices but this $9,000 this year is likely to happen
I know everything is about speculation, and at this time, I don’t think TA will be useful as factors around us which can be interpreted to fundamental analysis are the ones really controlling the price of bitcoin now, we might not pay attention to it because we focus more on using TA to predict, but TA could not predict the effect tether problem could have on bitcoin and many more.

So, from what I have seen so far in the news, if they are true, price of bitcoin could get over to about $12000 to $15000 at the end of the year, so hopefully within the next 2 months, we could see the value of $9000, manifest in the market.
96  Economy / Speculation / Re: How far bitcoin will it go this time and why? on: May 14, 2019, 10:16:39 AM
I think bitcoin will go very far like 2017. For the $10,000 before end of this year? I think as soon as possible this value will reach only need some weeks or 1-2 months and maybe the bitcoin reach $10,000 . This time the price rising and we hope it won't stop.  We are near to the $10,000 and I believe it will reach that again and time to recover bitcoin and all altcoins.
I expect bitcoin to really perform better than any of its previous years of bitcoin, reasons been that, 2017 was a year that many people started knowing bitcoin, and we had more of ordinary new investors that FOMO to buy and no much of large industries, other than the whales, which I strictly see as manipulators.

This time around, we already have many large financial institutions that has seen the usefulness of the cryptocurrency to their business, especially that of bitcoin and already making big investments with many of them to come more before the end of the new year, these large industries are the ones that will push the price of bitcoin hire than it’s initial ATH.
97  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Outside risk: similarities between gambling and trading? on: May 12, 2019, 05:48:53 AM
I am glad you admitted not having an idea about trading and I am convinced that you are not a professional gambler. Maybe those who just play around with the game when they are bored but that is not a real gambler. I do both trading and I gamble for money and I can from experience say that both games are full of risk and both games require skills and study.

In sport betting which I specialize in, we realize that despite all efforts in digging into past records of teams, we can still be disappointed during betting’s and same as trading, regardless of the efforts in analyzing past trading records, there things can still change, so its all a game of risk.
I am so amazed to read that you do both gambling and trading and I am wondering how you cope since you are aware that they are both risky. Gambling alone that I have been playing, I don’t even know where I stand already because I have lost too much to the game. Some of my friends told me that trading is much easier though but I have not tried it. Maybe you should drop a little lecture on how you can survive the tension from both games.

For me I feel another similarity between trading and gambling is that they are both profitable, Aside that it’s both risky and loses can be made from both, there are chances of making money from both.
98  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you start crypto gambling? on: May 12, 2019, 04:49:44 AM
Gambling can only be a job if you can consistently make money on it.

We have people who are experts in this field, and they are making a living in gambling, though it looks impossible for typical gamblers like us, but they are proving it its possible. Games where you can use your skills, that type of game can give this this result.
Don’t be deceived mate, most of those  so called professional gamblers are not really making consistent income like they claim to do, they actually run at a loss most often but they would always claim they make money to deceive gullible players to put more money into their bankroll.

The best way to gamble is what we are doing now, which is gambling for fun. That’s how I do it, there are times I make money and sometimes I lose but it is all fun. I started to gamble in the year 2016 and I entered with the motive of catching fun in the game, but still I still have record that I have made money.
99  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Long-term plan for investment. on: May 12, 2019, 04:19:49 AM
Hy all. How are you.Do you have a long-term plan for cryptocurrency investment? What are your plans, Is it only to gain profits in the future? Or you have hope and other dreams. Thank you very much.
My plan is divided into 2 parts, Investment long plan and secondly, I can say utility long plan. For the investment long plan, I intend to continue maintaining and increasing one of my portfolio that contains my long-term investment coins and I don’t intend taking profit from that portfolio until they go to the moon and reach their ATH.

My second portfolio is to continuing taking shorterm profits through them by always buying low and selling high, every time I have got the opportunity to do so, and for my utility plan, I have a business that I am working on, which is an ecommerce platform, I intend to integrate Bitcoin payment into it and continue to use it to receive money for as long as the business exist.
100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XRP buy now or wait for more dump ? on: May 11, 2019, 08:07:09 PM
hi guys
do u think its a good time to invest in XRP at 4500 - 4700 sat or wait to 2000 - 3000 sat
because last time XRP dump to 4200 then explode to + 10000 sat
The Crypto bull run had began in the market already and we are beginning to see a growth in the price of bitcoin, so I think any of the first 50 coins in the market will be a very good buy including xrp even though I am not really a fan because I know that their platform is centralized, but for the sake of making profit, it would be cool to purchase the coin and just keep in case it begins to experience a bull run too, whales don't look at history, they just enter the market.
