If this is a Steemit like then I doubt it will take off. Not taking away from the project, but I guess Steemit is way ahead of the pack here. And Discord? I wouldn't trust the service today. Lot's of exploits have been reported lately.

Cybercriminals are doing big business in the gaming chat app Discord
8162  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Moving Towards $9500 Mark on: November 08, 2019, 11:06:17 PM
Bitcoin is likely to climb above $9500 USD as per many predictions. Although from November 7th Bitcoin continued to fall below trying to keep the support levels at $9200 USD, considered to be the realistic approach by the predictors.

Source: https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/bitcoin-bulls-strugling-to-surge-above-9500-mark/

Lol, looks like the bulls is crash once again, support has been broken and the price is < $9k right now.
So much for the price to move above $9500. If you have noticed the price seems to be moving sideways, meaning an imminent break out run towards < $9k is there. Which eventually happen in the last 4 hours or so. No need to panic though, we have been in this kind of situations before, and know that it will bounce back again.

8165  Economy / Speculation / Re: This Is Why Bitcoin Price Could Hit $55,000 Next Year: Crypto Zombie in Trader’s on: November 07, 2019, 11:04:26 PM
Most likely it will not happen next year, but in the next 5 years it should.

Why did you believed it won't happened in next year, I think with all I have gathered so far in crypto currency market any thing can  happened when you don't even expect it. So the tendency of bitcoin  hitting 55,000$ next year might sound impossible but it very Much possible...

He's probably trolling, don't bother to ask newbie because for sure he won't come back here to defend his case. Anyway, everything is really possible in crypto sphere, I mean did anyone really expects the price to be $20k last 2017? None of us expected it and the best prediction I did see during that time was only $5k, Lol. So let's see how it goes after the block halving, maybe we can see $55k or 5k next year. Personally though I don't put too much expectations, just let the ecosystem flow.
8166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs. Donaire WBSS Bantamweight Final on: November 07, 2019, 10:43:03 PM
Not bad at all. While other boxing analyst are predicting a possible knockout victory by Inoue, Nonito Donaire was able to withstand all the blows coming from "the monster "Inoue. Nonito has proven to the world that he can still go toe to toe with younger boxers. Nonito still has a lot of fights left in him even at his age of 36 (turning 37 in November 16). Here is the score 116-111, 117-109, and 114-113.

Yeah, not bad at all. All odds were against Donaire but he showed last fight night the heart of a champion. Kudos to Inoue to withstand that left hook and right straight from Donaire in the tenth round.

That fight is an acid test for the young career of the Monster Inoue and he passed it with flying colors and looking forward for his future fights.

I agree, Donaire deserves respect here, I mean the odds are against him, but he truly shows some class, just imagine standing up from that vicious liver punch, and continue to fight, never seen Donaire like that.

In was a signature win for Inoue, but he said he still needs to improved, he was almost knock down as well. I guess we Filipinos should moved now, Duno and Donaire, back-to-back lost.  Sad

I guess you're not the only one who regret's "dabbing" on bitcoin early. But we really don't think that bitcoin will go on like this, becoming one of the best speculative assets and turning to be profitable since its inception. However, we still have more time to accumulate BTC in our wallet and see how it goes in the next 10 years or so. You can also see the charts here:

Inoue  to win by decision is 7.40

Anybody here who bet on Inoue  to win by decision? you will certainly enjoy tonight with that great odds you got.

Anyway that was a great fight, Donaire land some solid punch but Inoue really shows that he is a monster, this is in overall a great fight as though Donaire is obviously losing but he didn't quit easily, at one time I thought he will be knock out but he keep fighting and bring the fight into decision.

Not me, I have a bet on Donaire.

Yes, it was really an exciting fight, me and my homies thought that Donaire had it the bag specially in the 9th round if I'm not mistaken. But Inoue proved to be very difficult puzzle to solved. He took the championships rounds including round 10th.

I though that Donaire is not getting up after taking a knee. And I must admit that he didn't beat the count. Anyway, congrats to both fighters, Donaire gave everything here, nothing to be ashamed of, but Inoue is the better man in this fight.

You are really a newbie in this crypto sphere, I hope you know that difference between BTC and Bitcoin Cash. You mean you are going to be encourage because of incentives? Why don't you look then at BTC as one of the best speculative asset then? And who would give you BTC? Everyone here works very hard to earn even a Satoshi and it's pretty obvious that Roger Ver is doing this because he is losing grip because we all know that Bitcoin Cash in not BTC, but rather another altcoin.
8171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: November 06, 2019, 10:09:14 PM
They are fun to watch so I hope they can keep this up.  Its definately early though.  Plenty of seasons where the first 2 weeks didnt pan out like the rest of the season.  82 games is a marathon.  The west is definately a lot stronger than I thought with some of these teams like dallas and suns looking better than I thought they would be.  My money is still on Denver to come out of the west.  The Jokic/murray combo is sick.  Through in harris/millsap/etc and that is a tough squad to keep down. 
Yes they are. I think that Booker right now is MUCH MORE capable in carrying the team from long stretches of the game. So, that 82 games marathon is no longer a marathon for him. Well, he's not a rookie anymore and I think this might be the time when the fire of his prime will be lit. Is Phoenix west? I'm really not sure because Phoenix is not the team that will be part of the playoffs everytime that's why it's hard to say.

I agree that Denver has also good combination of players. As they have the Joker and Jamal, both at young age and both guys could be franchise players. Not only them, but they also have Harris which is a great three point shooter and Millsap, although he's aged, but he's also still playing like a great stretched four. I just don't know why they were defeated by Portland last playoffs lol. They have a better team for me.

Let's see how it goes for the Phoenix Suns, I would say that Booker is still under rated but I would agree that he can carry his team, he has mature enough and learn how to adjust and play high level basket right now that's why the Suns is fun to watch specially beating those other high caliber team in the West.

I'm sure they can make it to the playoffs with Booker leading the team but I doubt that they can content to this stack up West division.
8172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs. Donaire WBSS Bantamweight Final on: November 06, 2019, 09:26:18 PM

I doubt this fight will go the distance. One of them will certainly hit the canvas unconscious. Inoue has all the edge in this fight. Nonito, although relishing and seems challenged enough by his underdog position in this match, has very slim chance to win. Inoue has very convincing early KO wins in this World Boxing Super Series leading to this Donaire match. As much as I want Nonito to win, it is highly unlikely. And so I will go for Inoue with 1.77 odds over 4.5. 

The first round is the test if Donaire can withstand the power-punching of Inoue, I just hope it will not end like the Duno Garcia, Donaire is a wiser guy here, he is a thinking fighter if he can take Inoue's punch, Donaire's experience will emerge here, he knows how to dominate a slugger like what he did with Darchinyan, he needs to be patience and calculated with his moves.

I don't think that there will be some explosion on the first round similar to Duno vs Garcia.

Donaire is more intelligent that done, he won't simply go toe to toe with Inoue because he knows that Inoue is powerful. Probably just a feel out rounds in the early stage and then a chess match in the middle rounds until either one of them make some mistakes and then boom, knock down or knock out.

Lol, you guys should check his tweeter account and see the truth here:

Just another wannabe here, he just uses the name of Satoshi for his own gain.

I guess everyone needs to move on, and for those who claim that they are or at least know who Satoshi is, if they can just sign and move Satoshi's coin then I guess that is enough proof. But so far we haven't seen any from those who claim to be Satoshi.

Just for the record though,

Changes to Groups API Access

Quote
Since April of 2018, we’ve been reviewing the ways that people can use Facebook to share data with outside companies. We’ve removed or restricted a number of our developer APIs, such as the Groups API, which provides an interface between Facebook and apps that can integrate with a group.

Before April 2018, group admins could authorize an app for a group, which gave the app developer access to information in the group. But as part of the changes to the Groups API after April 2018, if an admin authorized this access, that app would only get information, such as the group’s name, the number of users, and the content of posts. For an app to access additional information such as name and profile picture in connection with group activity, group members had to opt-in.

As part of our ongoing review, we recently found that some apps retained access to group member information, like names and profile pictures in connection with group activity, from the Groups API, for longer than we intended. We have since removed their access. Today we are also reaching out to roughly 100 partners who may have accessed this information since we announced restrictions to the Groups API, although it's likely that the number that actually did is smaller and decreased over time. We know at least 11 partners accessed group members’ information in the last 60 days. Although we’ve seen no evidence of abuse, we will ask them to delete any member data they may have retained and we will conduct audits to confirm that it has been deleted.

https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2019/11/05/changes-groups-api-access/

Ok it seems that there have been breach or data leak again on their part.

Lol, no evidence of abuse? Of course those who have exploited those data won't tell them that.

How can they let some apps retained access to data though? So this has been going on for years even they supposedly changes to the Group API?
8175  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance to Open Beijing Office Amid China’s Renewed Blockchain Push on: November 03, 2019, 11:11:56 PM

Binance opened a US branch on 23 Sept https://finance.yahoo.com/news/binance-us-opens-deposits-registrations-131459196.htm.
Now a Chinese office and most probably a trading platform very soon.

Nah, Chinese won't allow any exchanges to be open soon specially Binance in their soil. They won't change their stance banning crypto exchange.

It will be interesting to see both working and will the US Congress trying to implicate some restrictions on the US branch due to the Chinese activities of Binance. Still, BNB is one of the best investments around.

That's the thing, I really don't understand why people are so excited about China right now. I hope you guys don't forget what did they in 2017.
8176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua II on: November 03, 2019, 10:39:07 PM
Again, lots of stake in this fight for both fighters, if Joshua win this one, then he has a chance to face the winner of Fury vs Wilder rematch, which has been in the talks until Ruiz derail that plan. But if Ruiz then definitely it will be an easy fight for either Fury and Wilder and I think both of them can defeat Ruiz easily.
There is a lot of stakes for Anthony Joshua to win the fight and i hope he will be prepared for this one if not his golden days of making easy money will be over, he was selling record tickets for all of his fights but the loss has dented his plans and hence this rematch is a must win for Anthony Joshua and if he losses this one then his selling power will be a big issue.

Correct, this is a must win for Joshua here, he had a lot of sponsors outside of boxing and making huge money as an endorser. If he losses this fight, then it's possible that those companies will pull out one by one so his golden days of making easy money will be over. And just by looking at the odds, he is still the favorite, meaning boxing fans believed that he can still salvage his career by winning big against Ruiz.
8177  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bakkt has traded only 7 BTC so far on: November 03, 2019, 10:14:18 PM
The fact that now the trading volume of Bakkt is low is normal because this platform was created for the long term. Over time, its volume will increase, because the institutional will come via Bakkt, but this cannot happen quickly.

Did you really check the post above you? It says that Bakkt volume is slowly increasing day by day.

I understand that it might take a hard grind here, but the problem is that so many people specially from last year, thought that Bakkt could reignite investors enthusiasm to bitcoin and could push the price again. So I guess that is not the case and it could take months or even year to finally see the positive impact on Bakkt in the ecosystem.
8178  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Large number of customer account and wallets are still compromised. on: November 03, 2019, 09:52:03 PM
Security hasn't improved for cryptocurrencies since 2017 -- rather, security for centralised services have improved (but since most were generally shite in the first place, saying they have improved really doesn't necessarily say much!). You only need to see Mt Gox to know what I mean.

I agree, although centralized services claim that their security has improved, that to me was a overstatement.

And yes, of course a large number of wallets are still compromised. A lot of exchanges are too. Because no matter how much you upgrade security, if basic negligence persists, you end up with the same vulnerabilities.

Cyber criminals are always on the offensive here, if exchanges are not really to handle them, specially if the supposedly people monitoring them are not that well educated, those hackers will be having a field day breaching their systems easy and stealing other peoples money.

But he is back again, but this time he has change his tune. I urge everyone to read his next prediction or rant, shall I say:

Quote
Update, 27 oktober 2019:

Well gee, this blew up.

Bitcoin should not be treated as an investment, it should be recognized as a speculative negative-sum game. The Bitcoin system currently consumes an estimated 3.6 billion dollar worth of electricity on an annualized basis, just to update the ledger that contains a record of everyone's transactions. This enormous consumption of electricity is indirectly paid for by people who invest their savings in Bitcoin, as a consequence, money is continually "leaking" from the system.

8180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Canelo vs Kovalev WBO Light Heavyweight Championship on: November 03, 2019, 01:32:20 PM
~SPOILER ALERT~





CANELO VS. KOVALEV RESULTS: CANELO ALVAREZ KNOCKS OUT SERGEY KOVALEV TO WIN LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE


The miracle didnt happend. Young, experienced and hungry Canelo now is the owner of a new title/belt, Congratz.
But must say respect to Kovalev, he had a few good monents. Definitely advice to watch this fight.

Congrats to Canelo, close fight and i wonder what the judges score would be if the knock-out did not happen. Kovalev gaining momentum in the championship rounds. I have a feeling that CAnelo would go back to the middle weight division, Kovalev is the weakest of the title holder on the light heavy weight, that's why Canelo fought him. Oscar, give me that GGG  trilogy, shouted Canelo lol.

Btw, Garcia KO Duno in the first round. That was also an interesting fight to see.

Mum on this one, bad news.

Judges:

Dave Moretti: Alvarez: 96, Kovalev 94
Julie Lederman: Alvarez: 96, Kovalev 94
Don Trella: Alvarez: 95, Kovalev 95

So Canelo Alvarez is up on two judges by 2 points, and a draw with the third judge.



https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-alvarez-vs-sergey-kovalev-official-scorecards--143961

@bisdak40 - yes, our fellow kababayan Duno fell short on his bid. Perhaps this is a big lessons for him, fight strategy is very wrong, he should have try to play safe in the first round, sort of trying to read Garcia first. But I guess he is really looking for that knock out here.
