Surely having some big ammos makes a huge difference when you want to play consistently and put forth a clear and planned strategy. I spent 5 minutes seeing you playing live and I saw when you hit a 9.995 BTC profit. Congrats, really. It's always nice to see when somebody is able to fight against the odds.
822  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Everything you wanted to know about Grayscale BTC Trust but were afraid to ask! on: March 03, 2021, 09:42:32 AM
I knew I had to come here to get a clear picture of what was happening behind the scenes at Grayscale.

We've been discussing this a lot and now we know that this institutional market will start to resemble more other traditional markets. The good point is that competition is there now, the bad thing could be how the market may react to a move like this one.

GBTC clients need to be put into the equation too: what if they start to leave en masse? Food for thought.

Just spend 10 minutes reading how Dogecoin was conceived, what's it for, where it's used and you would never be eager to hold dofe for the long term. Dogecoin has no fixed supply and it's a miracle that it's still running considering that the project has no maintainers anymore.
Don't but Doge thinking it will give you some return in the future, Elon's pump was probably the last one.

No offense, but tbh i can't 100% sure for a new account claimed if he is a high roller. Everyone can say he is controlling or playing with high roller on a site. What i know is, high roller even didn't come visit on this forum as they are very busy or not interested with something on this forum
No problem. I am not here to boast. I came to this thread today after reading a message on Bustabit about the change in the investors' profit calculation.
It is not important for me to prove I am the one.
I was surprised there are many posts about my bets.

The national sport on this section is to spot and comment on those very high bets! Leaving jokes aside, it's very entertaining to see how people like you really try to get some decent profit in an organized way. I mean, that's a lot of money we are talking about.

Dear Satoshi Nakamoto,

I am your number one fan!

The first time I saw you, I felt astonished. I could not believe an inventor could be so bright and outstanding.

Your role in bitcoin revolution was sharp and simply amazing.

I've created a collection of OP_RETURN  to remind me of you. My cold wallet is filled with coins.

My dream is to go to Moon together and engage in some serious partying. I'd make you burgers then we'd watch rugby highlights until the sun set.

With your reply, please enclose some more bitcoins for my ever-growing collection.

In retrospect, it was inevitable  Grin
Bitcoin and its protocol will become truly important subjects for future kids. Technology is ubiquitous and those who will remain behind will lose many great opportunities. I hope that schools will get the message by adding bitcoin as a topic as soon as possible.
827  Economy / Exchanges / Re: For Coinbase Satoshi Nakamoto is a Risk Factor on: March 02, 2021, 10:39:57 AM
Actually I do agree with coinbase to some extent, the Mare thought of Satoshi Nakomoto owing a lump sum of btc is a risk factor especially when no one knows when he/she will decide to move those btc, I believe satoshi is the full custodian of his own wallet keys and can decide to move his stack at any given time, that is enough to be considered,
I guess staying anonymous is a lot better than being known.
If someone would know how to break into Satoshi's bitcoin wealth, that would be like a nuclear war declaration!
Believing what you believe doesn't eliminate the fact that if Satoshi decides to move those bitcoins that could create some utter chaos on the overall bitcoin economy.
Another known problem is that with the advance of technology, it might be possible to break those private keys and this is something to have in mind too.
So, SN is definitely some kind of risk factor here.

As much as possible if you really wanted something that you still cannot afford to have as of the moment, you better not to include the idea of borrowing money no matter what the reason is for the fact that you still have lots of time until you can afford having such thing. The point is that if you have been familiar into the concept of always borrowing money is that you will not progress that easy because you are being dependent into someone or something that can let you borrow money just to afford what you wanted to have. In terms of Bitcoin, we all do know how unstable or volatile price of Bitcoin is so why do make it an idea borrowing money and using it as a collateral when you are still not sure of how the price will be keep going? As much as possible avoid getting into debt and do only limit yourself into things you can afford.
The amount of money that you do not currently have is also important in terms of how you choose whether or not you should get into the borrowing land.
To me avoiding debt is very important to keep some financial health. When I was young and not having any money I wanted to buy stuff, like everyone else I guess. It was always a great despair not being able to buy things like my friends.
With time and study, I built my financial foundations which now gives me peace of mind.
829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: March 02, 2021, 10:11:07 AM
Is anyone of you from Australia? I read this news that an unknown australian start-up will probably bid $60m to grant itself Champions League rights for three years! Sports Flick, that's the name of the company, ran by a 27 yrs old guy from Sydney  is going to mess the Australian Tv rights market! How funny.

830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: March 01, 2021, 09:22:50 AM
I see it very hard for PSG to be out of the Champions in this round.They build an insane result at Barcelona as they won 1-4 and this win was not accidental at all.They dominated the game completely and the result could have been even 1-7 or 1-8 if PSG would have been more concentrated in the numerous opportunities for goals they had.I would bet of course on PSG to win this coming game and also to qualify.
When Champions League started last year I bet on Paris Saint Germain winning the cup and today I'm very convinced about that. The only team I see able to ruin their plan is the obvious Bayern Munich and, maybe, Manchester City. All the other teams have no chances.
831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Crypto.org Chain - Another permissionless blockchain on: March 01, 2021, 09:06:36 AM
Crypto.org Chain is a public, open-source and permissionless blockchain - a fully decentralized network with high speed and low fees, designed to be a public good that helps drive mass adoption of blockchain technology through use cases like Payments, DeFi and NFTs.

Why Crypto.org Chain

Secure
The Chain is built on state-of-the-art blockchain technology and designed to be fault-tolerant

Instant & Low-Cost
Transactions are instant and deterministic, confirmed with minimal fees

Permissionless
The Chain is an open-source project and welcomes any validator partners or code contributors

Open Ecosystem
Welcoming to and supported by innovative projects, including Payment, DeFi and NFT initiatives.


So Crypto.com wants to enter the platform blockchain business and battle against BNB, ETH, DOT; ATOM, ADA and all the others.

This new chain is going to be based on Tendermint a byzantine fault tolerant (BFT) consensus protocol (already used by Cosmos).

What do you think of it?

Well Bitcoin has become a hard asset, so I can't see any problems with using it as a security. The real question is - should you be borrowing money? Borrowing to service living costs or luxuries is a bad idea. Borrowing to purchase an income producing asset may be a good idea if you are sure that the project is viable.
I'd never borrow money for stupid things but the moment I'd need some fresh cash I'd like to use my bitcoin as a collateral. What scares the shit out of me is that bitcoin's volatility could definitely kill the LTV loan ratio anytime as we all know the wild price swings bitcoin is able to do.
Today, that's what prevents me to leverage my bitcoin to borrow some money.
 
833  Economy / Exchanges / Re: For Coinbase Satoshi Nakamoto is a Risk Factor on: March 01, 2021, 08:55:43 AM
We all know that Satoshi associated addresses have a lot of Bitcoins, but is Satoshi really deserving to be in Risk Factor category?
I personally doubt that Satoshi's coins would actually move the market too much, we're basically able to consume that without any lasting damage, but in the short term, it's still a mentionable risk factor for any Bitcoin business.
The psychological mayhem that it would provoke far outweighs the clear capacity of the market to eat all those bitcoins.
Don't misunderstand me but if satoshi's coins would appear again that could pose a major risk to the overall game.
I hate to agree with coinbase risk analysis, but that is not a risk for them only, it's a risk for all of us.
834  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 01, 2021, 08:50:11 AM
Chill out.  

All this has been foreseen.

You will be laughing about this in 2020.


HairyMaclairy knew it all along. December 2018!!!

Good morning WOhatters, I feel I need to pump some Monday enthusiasm to you all.
Don't forget why you are here:
Quote from: satoshi
Yes, [we will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography,] but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years.

835  Economy / Gambling / Re: Survey on fees in order to play on gambling games, please check this out! :) on: March 01, 2021, 08:37:34 AM
Hello everyone,

As you know the rising network fees for bitcoin and ethereum have put a big strain on its very usability. Crypto was supposed to be better then the fiat systems of old. However with this growing issue the very idea on which bitcoin was founded is getting under stress. Solutions will eventually be created no doubt but in the meantime please take a moment of your time to answer any of these questions you want to answer. Fully anonymous.

Please reply here if you have filled it out so others can see this topic!  Wink
It depends on your time preference: I'mm sorry to say that if your are here to expect that bitcoin was better than the fiat system to allow you to gamble away your money in the fastest way possible, I think you're dead wrong.
Bitcoin was born for a reason which is not the one you may have in mind.
By the way, the association between anonymous survey and google is quite hilarious.
836  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: March 01, 2021, 08:30:15 AM
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - FreeBitco.in Has Acquired FUN Token!

3. New Blockchain: Based on the Ethereum blockchain, FUN prided itself on being fast, open, and secure. However, the growth of DeFi on Ethereum has been pushing gas prices up for many months, making the adoption of FUN too expensive for users. FreeBitco.in is actively exploring opportunities to port the FUN Token to a new blockchain that is faster and cheaper.

It's the only thing that matters now because Ethereum's blockchain is being under such an heavy pressure that it is mostly annoying to transact over there.
Congrats on the acquisition by the way, and if you solve the usability problem that can be a huge boost for your platform.
837  Economy / Economics / Re: The GameStop drama and what does it mean for Bitcoin on: February 27, 2021, 06:50:28 PM
Still, WSB is still alive and kicking. That wasn’t a one time story pump, despite the bloodbath many of the subscriber got recently.

My only fear is big money is going to infiltrate them only to use them for their own purposes.
Historically, the latter has always proven unavoidable. Unless it is a complete stealth project and no one knows who they are (in a way like no one was able to cohort Satoshi Nakamoto as no one knew who he was), infiltrators from the outside to direct WSB actions can come forth.
We would know if that happens when the targets change: if we are able to find who is/are the enemy's target then we could understand who is behind them.
Hopefully, no one will be ever able to do that.
How do you know that wasn't some form of coordinated shit already? I don't buy that sorry since what they've done there couldn't be done with some external approval, if you know what I mean.
On the other side, I agree on what you said about satoshi, I'm very much glad he disappeared from the scene long ago and I hope so much he was able to have some others bitcoins (other from the satoshi's known stash) and that he's able to live an happy life on that.
838  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 27, 2021, 06:45:08 PM
<...>

Target price: 170,000 USD

Not bad.
Bullish.
My body is ready.


Money is going to leave the bitcoin ecosystem over the next 12 months (and forever after on average). Bitcoin will never reach that price. If it does, I'll buy $10k worth and give it to you.

Quoted for reference.
Please someone help me remember when it happens!
I can't wait to see math and science confirmed again here! I'll surely put this on my calendar boy!

When buying those ETF shares I hope investors were well aware of the risks and I wouldn't be as pessimistic as you thinking this could unravel in some form of multi-billion dollar disaster.
ETF's been one of the most awaited bitcoin-based financial investment vehicles and I don't think this is gonna disappoint us.
Don't forget that everybody buys bitcoin at the price they deserve  Wink

What do you think?

Cheers,

Given your current track record I'd be definitely interested in investing in something like that! If you are able to find the right way to do it (forgetting to be yet another ICO) you can definitely succeed.
You don't want to keep BTC? Fine but keep some existing coins (maybe give some thought to LN) and if you are to create your own coin do some thorough research about which platform suits you most (Binance chain could be promising)
