I read somewhere that Bitcoins according to trading investors generally gives off parabolic signals which marks increase before the actual event.
Right now if we go according to them, it have just given a parabolic signal for increasing tremendously for a 5th time now A parabolic signal? No, I don't think we've seen that yet. I don't think we're even close to that stage of the market cycle. We're probably still many months or years away. A good analogy for where we are might be October-November 2015. We've exited the bear market and trapped bears in the long term bottom range. But it'll probably take many months of consolidating and slowly grinding upwards before we go vertical like in 2017. As for the next selloff.......it's anyone's guess at this point. I would say to be prepared for a 30-45% pullback in value. A pullback from $10K to the $6K area would match the 2015 chart almost exactly. Aren't we already on a minor pull back ? What I think is it's right time to buy Bitcoins and save them , because soon enough the bull ride is going to go again . Yes it's going slowly but at the same time this slow change isn't bad at all , on the opposite hand it's proving to be tremendously dominant over the low price fall off in the past that always happens when it suddenly increases. I think slow growth is proving to be better than a can of coke , you shake it hard and all the frizz comes out but again dies down fast , it's better like a tea , takes time to boil but at the same time it will take time to cool... More than the frizz for sure. If we are expecting a big pull-back, it should be around $5800-$5900, but so far we haven't seen that trend as the price is fairly trading on a sideway patterns for now, $7700-$7900. I agree with you that we should be saving bitcoin for the long haul, if we are expecting a bullish run leading up to the 2020 bitcoin block halving. But right now, it will be a long grind to at least $8400 and the probably we will see a retracement once again. |

Nah resting period won't really matter.
These players are professional and they used to play regularly. Didn't you know that after every game, they do practice the other day and their usual routines. So come to think of it, they are doing that for the whole season.
No such thing as long rest = advantage ; short ones = disadvantages.
Game 7 is on 28th if necessary. 30th is the finals. Neither who will win on ECF will have a good rest. The said team instead will be more pump up and excited rather than tired. Remember that Bucks last finals appearance was way back 1973. Raptors, on the other hand, doesn't have experience.
But they are just humans, sometimes the body needs some break specially a gruelling NBA games. So it's a good thing for GSW to have a least a good rest before facing either Toronto or Bucks. It seems though that Toronto has find their way in their series against the Bucks, now they are tied 2-2. But personally, I still favoured the Bucks here, we wanted to see Giannis against the GSW in the finals.  . |

https://www.boxingscene.com/malignaggi-piece-sht-mma-community-see-lobov-coma--139250On Monday, Bare Knuckle FC held a press conference to promote next month's card - with Malignaggi and Lobov trading vicious words - and Malignaggi spitting in the face of Lobov.
A few weeks ago, Malignaggi slapped Lobov in face during another promotional event.
Their rivalry stems from another. Malignaggi has a longstanding beef with UFC superstar Conor McGregor, who is good friends with Lobov.
Malignaggi and McGregor had a bad fallout in 2017, after the UFC fighter brought him in as a sparring partner for a scheduled fight with Floyd Mayweather.
Malignaggi has been discussing a promise to put Lobov in a coma - in order to send a message to the mixed martial arts community.
The veteran boxer feels strongly that MMA fans have been disrespectful of the sport of boxing.
“Lobov and the mixed martial arts community have really disrespected my sport in a lot of ways; boxing, saying that we fight with pads on and it’s not a real fighting sport and what not, but we have all the deaths,” Malignaggi told FightHype.com. I became a fan of Paulie when we showed he got the balls fighting Miguel Cotto with a broken jaw. But he became a dick lately in his career, he had a bad mouth. On the other hand, we all know who Lobov is, . So this is one exciting fight and it's bare knuckle. . What are your thoughts about this fight? Other's are totally against bare knuckle because it is really brutal, buy hey if two combatants with a history of bad blood between the two, then expect a full pack action fight. . I'lll go with Paulie here because of his superior boxing skills, although he is feather fisted. I think he can dodge and frustrate Lobov here and then eventually used his boxing experience later in the rounds.

Stage has set for Inoue and the "Filipino Flash", Nonito Donaire for the WBSS Bantamweight belt. Inoue just needed 70 seconds to obliterate Rodriguez. I got Donaire here, even though he is old, but that left hook and the timing is still there for the veteran.

Impressive road win by the Golden State Warriors. Green really push the game up high and I will say that the is the catalyst on this win. That 12 assists alone really help the team with easy baskets. Of course Curry's shooting hand is back and the rest of the team is already playing post Kevin Durant. . So another final appearance for them vs the Greak Freak, and that is Final that we all have been wanting for. |

Well there's two school of thoughts here, it's either you want to profit short term, then you can encash it as long as you are in a positive, or just HODL. But majority of us knows that bitcoin is the best performing assets so it should be look as a long term investment. If you don't have the patience, then crypto is not for you. Maybe you can just go on other business like buy and sell, just saying.

Not a big fan of this token, as it went down even during the bull run. I read the whitepaper for this project and found it interesting. But the fact that the token is going down in value may mean the promoters not honoring the commitments or some other negative factor. And one thing I have noticed is the sudden spurt in trade volumes between 10th May and 15th May. It is possible that some manipulation is going on.
Obviously, this token is not an exception for price manipulation. As others have said, there is a big hype around this project, but a total disappointed when it hits the exchange. I mean, I read their blogs last year, said it will be somewhat a stable coin, right? That's why in digifinex, the pairing is just WPP/USDT, so they stick to their plans but it looks like it backfired on them. And now seeing the price in coinmarketcap like $.002? What a disappointment, to say the least. So yeah, I'm also not a big fan of this project, just pure hype and short of delivery, sorry. |

Milwaukee are currently roling here on game two, they've started the game way better than they did in game one, and have led by as much as 18 points during the first quarter, but the quarter ended 35-21 in favor of the Bucks!
64-39 half time score, in favor of the bucks, it should be an easy win for the Bucks. They will win this as they don't give up a lead unlike the Raptors, Bucks bench are scoring really well in this game. Right, the final score 103-125. They throw everything in the first quarter and it was enough to hold off the Raptors. Toronto though was able to cut the lead in the third, but wasn't enough as the Bucks tighten their defense. Ersan Ilyasova came off the bench to add 17 points, Giannis added 30 points to go with 17 rebounds. The Greek Freak made another amazing performance tonight. I hope he will endure this beast mode and go all the way to the finals and win the ring because he truly deserves it this season. Ilyasova wasn't the player that was helping a lot during the season but he has to help the Bucks now that they are in the end. He has the skill to do it and I hope he will continue performing in the next games. Giannis was really unstoppable, he also developed his three point shot, making him more dangerous. And I don't think someone from Toronto can stop him as this point, whether doing isolation plays or running a fast break. But I think Toronto will steal the next game and make this series more interesting. Leonard will go full mode and so is Lowry. |

I'm also expecting Inoue to KO Rodriguez in later rounds. Not in the first rounds where most of the fights Inoue KO his opponent. Rodriguez advantage is height, but Inoue has fought fighters much taller than him and it's not a problem. Inoue is also at the prime age of boxing, 26 years old and more hungry to prove why he is the best bantamweight right now.

And just to set the record again, Laszlo Hanyecz has bought 2 pizza's this time using Lightning Network back in 2018. Here is his original post in the Lightning dev mailing list. https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2018-February/001044.html[Lightning-dev] Pizza for (lightning) bitcoins?
Laszlo Hanyecz laszlo at heliacal.net
Sun Feb 25 01:29:59 UTC 2018
I wanted to try out a real trade using lightning network. I don't know of any pizza places near me that accept lightning bitcoin yet but a friend from London agreed to do it and he sub contracted out the pizza delivery to a local shop.
In short, I paid bitcoin using the lightning network and he arranged for pizza to be delivered to me. In this trade my friend is just a middle man that is taking the risk on accepting lightning payments, but it demonstrates the basic premise of how this works for everyday transactions. It could just as well be the pizza shop accepting the payment directly with their own lightning node.
I wanted two pizzas and to try to do it as close to atomically as possible. I didn't want to prepay and end up with no pizza. As far as I know we don't yet have pizza/bitcoin atomic swap software but we improvised and decided that I would need to provide the payment hash preimage to the delivery driver in order to claim my pizza. If I can't produce the preimage, proving that I paid, then the pizza would not be handed over and it would be destroyed. This works because I can't get the preimage without paying the invoice. I agreed to open a channel and fund it with a sufficient amount for what we estimated the cost would end up being. After we agreed to these terms my friend was able to verify that I funded a channel on the blockchain, which shows that I at least have the money (bitcoin). He is taking on some entrepreneurial risk and prepaying his sub contractor to prepare and deliver the pizza to me, but at this point I have not risked my bitcoins, they're just committed to a channel. I was given a bolt11 invoice which I decoded with the c-lightning cli to verify everything was as agreed: |

Of course, everyone was delighted to see the price going on and you feel ecstatic and feeling nostalgic as well, specially for those who have been in the previous runs in 2017 . However, I'm not imaging driving those expensive cars though. I was thinking of buying a new home, or at least renovate my house. . Yep, putting up a business is a good idea as well, so it also crosses my mind. So let's see in 2020-2021, whether we can finally learn the lessons for 2017 and be crypto millionaires in the future. |

Even prior to the implementation of merit system, it was discussed as early as 2014, Can we "Like" a post? by Vod. So I don't see if this is a viable options though, merit is already enough, in my opinion. |

Here are the lines in sportsbet.io  I agree with most of the comments from our boxing fans here. Really love to see a lot of fans knowing lots of stuff here. . I don't know, hard to go against Deontay Wilder because of his impressive records and his punching power. Breazeale's boxing records - http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/629462 |

One big question here is what the media and pro establishment response will be, if any. There have been numerous news reports of mcdonalds and other retail giants rolling out their own payment processor systems based around cell phone technology. In mcdonald's case, their implementation was reported to be significantly flawed with many having their money stolen and accounts breached. Crypto currency based payment systems associated with cell phones could be poised to provide a stable and functional merchant platform in an era where such technology is in desperate need.
Yes, I saw some news regarding a Toronto man losing like $2k using Mcdonald's app. But the main point is that this technology is still very young. Lots of growing up pains, just like we witnessed in couple of days. So I would say give at least 2 years for some adjustments to be made here. On the bright side, if no one will take this steps, then we will not know what will be the effect, so there will be lots of "if's", at least we have the answers now. |

Dude, even without KD, they are firing up. They chose their classic first 5 before KD and cousins made it to the team. They've already won a championship with that line up so it only makes sense to use that combination again and again. I think they can wipe out the Blazers in 4 games even if KD or Cousins don't play. The current line up might even win it all. There's no question about it. The Warriors have won championships with this line up prior to KD or Cousins. What we don't understand is how the hell did the Portland blow the lead in the 3rd quarter and then lead 7 with just what 4 minutes to go. They are good in closing out games and protecting their lead. But it was a total collapsed, good thing is that the next game will be on their homecourt so there must be some kind of semblance and urgency to stop the bleeding and win the next game and forgot what happen tonight. For me the next game will be a must win for them. |

eth outrageous $300 dollar soon? It really surprises me how Ethereum regained and recover in the last couple of days. Again, lot of people are writing it off, when it went down to $80. Now with the current bull run, I wouldn't be surprised $300 will be breach and end the year around $600. Why not? Those who are bitching around and saying that ETH is dead are the some investors who jumps in and pumps it price. . $300 will be a big achievement this year though. Been fluctuation from $240-$260, but $300 is not that far though, so it's plausible that $300 can be achieved, but prefer for some corrections. |

As per CEO recent blog post: https://medium.com/bakkt-blog/bitcoin-futures-custody-bakkts-differentiated-approach-59b88d6984b5User acceptance testing for bitcoin futures custody and trading planned for July
In conjunction with our exchange and clearing partners at ICE, we’ll be working with our customers over the next several weeks to prepare for user acceptance testing (UAT) for futures and custody, which we expect to start in July. We’ll provide more details in upcoming posts, but we expect to use UAT to ensure that customers have time to onboard and can test the trading and custody model we’ve built to their satisfaction. So another good news that will really push the price of bitcoin to 5 digits this coming months. Brace yourself for another run if this come into fruition this July. And then fully operation and live before the end of the year. Do you really think that BAKKT is useful for us? It seems to me to increase the manipulative effect on the market. I don't think they will work for us. You tell me. Manipulative effect? Where have you been this years? Crypto is a speculative asset so obviously it will be prone to manipulation What you gonna do if Bakkt is approved then? You going out of the market because you believe if won't work with us? |
