I have been reading on Coindesk that STO time is coming
Security regulated token offering
Very much similar to IPO maybe IPO will disappear with time
But ICO time will not end i only hope that really quality ICO will overcome all that scam ICO

It is not only wrong idea it is very bad idea
Convincing others is generally very behavior it you will observe yourself a little you will see that it cause negative result for person you want to convince and for yourself

 Now tell me do you really like to gamble is this funny for you you make money that way
Just tell anything real

Regarding the Fed rates, i think that this is and indicator that economy is going towards new bubble since as far as i know raising interest rates indicates that banks or bank thinks that people cant afford to pay back cheap loans thus they are rising the rate. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes cost of money will rise
There are strong prediction that USA will enter recession in  max 24 months
By my opinion it will continuation of famous debt crisis  from 2008
All that hossa on markets was caused by flood of debt money dollar and euro
Nothing real has been done to heal that previous debt crisis
Watch Nasdaq 7000 is very strong support level if will be breakdown than we will see avalanche

Both are over speculated and controlled by whales
Gold is  not any safe heaven it is only hedge to  us dollar
Gold is not so much in use price is very easy to manipulate
There is similar story with silver but silver is much more in use
985  Economy / Economics / Re: Government should implement blockchain technology to prevent corruption. on: October 28, 2018, 07:15:06 PM
That is why banks are not much interested in blockchain
All transaction in blockchain are visible so it cause big problems for money laundering
Similar with ID protection
I can't believe that still there is not available service what will encrypt and protect private data with blockchain
It is really not so much hard to develop
So why not because spying will be much harder and even impossible
986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 on: October 28, 2018, 07:07:48 PM
If Lopetegui doesn't get sacked this week, I'm gonna lose all the respect I have towards Florentino & co. That was a shitty performance, Benzema needs to go, Bale needs to be sold, same with Varane if he continues being absolute shit on the pitch, Marcelo needs a replacement, he's way past his prime and gets injured all the time.

Overall, not much to say about the match, we got outclassed, simple as that, but what hurts the most isn't the 5-1 (I already experienced such a score against Barcelona in 2010), is the fact that we're in the mid table, that's just pathetic.

Hey man, I know you’re hurting right now but you guys have had it damn good for a long, long time. Football goes in phases, look at Man Utd after Fergie. Real will probably have a period of mediocrity for a while before they go again. It happens, as a big LFC fan I would 100% take what’s happening to you guys for a season or two if I could have what you had the last 3 seasons.

We've had such a good run for so long that this current debacle was bound to happen, look at Zidane, the guy knew shit like this was gonna happen sooner or later and that's why he decided to go, Modric wanted to go to Inter, CR7 said right after winning the 3rd CL in a row that he wanted to leave, Bale as well, so a lot of people inside the club the club knew that something wasn't clicking (or that the period of mediocrity that you mention was coming) and it was better to leave the ship early.

The golden era has come to an end but it will come again. Real are too big to stay like this for long.
You're right, Man Utd, Milan, Bayern, Liverpool, they all had their golden era, but I honestly thought our run was gonna last a bit more, but I guess you can't always be on top. I hope our period to rebuild the club doesn't last as long as let's say Man Utd, I'm so used to being on top that it'll be hella weird and frustrating to see my club go through a phase like that   Cheesy  but if things keep going south, we can always sack Floretino and start afresh (literally, we, the RM fans, can go to the Santiago Bernabeu and ask for the resignation of Floretino Perez, it happened before, it can happen again.)

Lopetegui will lost his job tonight even . Conte will replace him in Monday i guess
Hard task for Conte
Bale is playing nothing Benzema is simply old
Defense is tragic 5th game lost in last seven
I agree Zidane knew what is going on in Real so he left club
Ronaldo the same he is much better in Juve less selfish playing for team
Conte will have to build new Real on ashes of past glory
It is going fast in modern sport
987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: October 27, 2018, 04:24:52 PM
Liverpool will win that is sure
Manchester City will win
City is on striking fire they have score many goals in his last two games
Spurs are in crisis his defense is very poor

Manchester United game to watch .I think Manchester will win that game
It is interesting to watch United chart.Maybe answer is there but Everton is not playing nothing great so United to win rather
If not than will be yet another storm over Mou head

Money off topic
Sky Tv is paying 9,3 mln pounds for any transmitted EPL game
Lot of that money is going to clubs

Watching the recent trend in bonds this year, what is your say about the flattening of the yield curve?

Many USA economist are talking about it.Few days ago JPMorgan Chase wrote that chance of recession in 24 months are 60%
Most of economist are saying that USA GDP will slow down
Together with higher borrowing costs and all that tariffs war it will slow down GDP and can cause recession
Most of them are predicting end of hossa on stocks and poor return in coming years

i know that China is working on digital Yuan
It is even kind of priority for them
China is already trading with Yuan with some countries including Germany so digital Yuan will make trading more easy
Good move by China if they will do that

If PSG will not qualify to next games will be yet another nervous moves done by Arabic owners
The reason the owners brought Tuchel is to perform "well" in the CL (reach the final or win the whole thing). I hope they don't sack Tuchel if the team doesn't qualify to the next round, the guy seems to have a proper long-term project in mind for the team and he's overall a great manager, but knowing how the PSG owners run things, I wouldn't be surprised if they sack Tuchel if he loses against Napoli :/

And Borussia great to see that team bouncing back
Superb performance against Atletico, a team with one of the best defences in the world. I wonder if it's too early to say "Dortmund is back"


Favre is very interesting coach
He is educating his players
Do you know that one of players educated by him was Marco Raus during time when Favre was Borussia Moenchengladbach

look for all that young players Jacob Bruun Larsen. Achraf Hakim Jadon Sancho Achraf Hakim and more check his age
All those players are in age 18-22 years old half of Dortmund first eleven is in  that age
Sancho coming from bench has three goals and 8 assist in 12 games .He is 18 years old
And that young team crashed Atletico 4-0

expect big biding on Borussia players very soon

991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Europa League/Champions League Lounge on: October 25, 2018, 09:51:11 PM
PSG - Napoli match was great to watch and I don't that result of game can be called as surprise. Napoli played really well, but di Maria saved the day for PSG. Now it's very interesting situation in this group before second round.
This is still a equal ball game for the three teams in Group C, Liverpool, Napoli, and PSG are still battling for the top 2 spots. PSG and Napoli will have their rematch in day # 4 and it could really make or break both teams. Napoli defeated Liverpool in their first match and PSG lost to Liverpool in their first matchup. They still yet to face Liverpool in their 2nd game but I think Napoli is in a much better position compared to PSG, yet this could change after the result in their 2nd match against one another, it will also depend on how they will matchup against Liverpool after.

Do you know that PSG never won game against Italians clubs ever
Next game between those two teams will decide  which one will qualify
If PSG will not qualify to next games will be yet another nervous moves done by Arabic owners
Glory to Ancelotti for the second time Napoli stooped best strikers in the world

And Borussia great to see that team bouncing back
992  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic crash in 2019! on: October 24, 2018, 05:16:23 PM
A friend of mine told me that his dad (successful investor) their prediction is that there will be a economic crash in about 1.5 years from now. I think that it could be plausible.
Now what if it happens somewhere around that time. A lot of stocks will go down, also the house market will go down into the ground and buying a house with a mortgage will be with sky-high interest.

If and I say IF it happends will it be a good idea to buy bitcoin before the crash or will bitcoin crash like the others. There are a lot of factors going on. Like Renting a place out for the BTC miners ECT it will have a expensive tag to run and operate the blockchain during a crash.

Anyone any toughs? Also where are you going to put your BTC/cash into?



I mean just look at the house market here in the Netherlands. It skyrocketed so fast.

There was a lot of crashes and crisis from 1972 even
My personal opinion is that last one didn't finish even
last crash was done to create more debt and virtual money
More and more debt more and more globalization and more  and more problems
Biggest i see are climatic changes
There are estimates that will be tornado nr 5 6 300km/hour wind can destroy all areas
That so strong win can appear for example in Persian Gulf
places like Dubai is not ready for that
Now imagine Dubai to become new Atlantyda
993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Europa League/Champions League Lounge on: October 24, 2018, 05:04:48 PM
Game of the night will be PSG-Napoli
PSG is hot favorite but Napoli under Ancelotti  is playing better and better
Hard to predict PSG can win 2-1 or 3-1 but i will give credit to Napoli dark horse and will give 2-2

Barca-Inter Barca without Messi but Barca is going to win if will be not any tragedy in Barca defense

Dortmund -Atletico  Dortmund to win 2-1 or drawn 1-1 both team will qualify

About yesterday games i can only say Real nightmare continue and it is not only caused by Ronaldo absence How easy was for Victoria to create scoring chances
what is going on with Real defense and Real best in the world midfielders

If Marcelo injury will be long term than Real will be even more in trouble
Bayern play is hard to watch that team is without spark
994  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency or Stock Market? on: October 23, 2018, 05:40:39 PM
For sure no stock market only selected stocks for short terms
Stock prices are very high to high it will be more sell off
In a case of crypto better to select some crypto and invest for long term
prices of many coins are very cheap and they can rise in future
But better to find value coins shitcoins can vanish anytime
995  Economy / Economics / Re: Starbucks drops hint at plans to accept Bitcoin on: October 23, 2018, 05:35:39 PM

Back in May, reports surfaced that New York Stock Exchange owner Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) was developing a Bitcoin trading platform. This morning, it officially announced the creation of Bakkt, a new company that will help trade and convert the best known cryptocurrency to fiat money — government-backed legal tender.

As one might expect from a new company with close ties to the NYSE, Bakkt has enlisted some big names already, including backing from Microsoft, Starbucks and BCG. Microsoft, for its part, will provide cloud infrastructure for the service. Even more compelling, however, is the involvement of Starbucks.

After all, the coffee giant has played an outsized role in helping mainstream mobile payments among the U.S. population, it has worked with Square (which accepts Bitcoin) and it just announced a deal with Alibaba in China for coffee deliveries. The chain isn’t always the first to adopt payment solutions, but its involvement goes a long ways toward legitimizing technologies among the public. If played right, this could be the push Bitcoin as a payment system for mainstream consumers here in the States.

In a statement, Starbucks referred to itself as “the flagship retailer” involved in the project, hinting at the very real potential that the company is setting itself up to accept Bitcoin converted through the Bakkt system.


“As the flagship retailer, Starbucks will play a pivotal role in developing practical, trusted and regulated applications for consumers to convert their digital assets into US dollars for use at Starbucks,” said Starbucks Payments VP Maria Smith said in the statement. “As a leader in Mobile Pay to our more than 15 million Starbucks Rewards members, Starbucks is committed to innovation for expanding payment options for our customers.”

Bakkt’s implications go well beyond mobile payments, of course. As Fortune notes, the system could help attract investors who have been put off by Bitcoin’s extremely volatile nature. Among other things, it could help make the currency a safer choice for 401(k)s, IRAs and other retirement plans. That, in turn, could help propel Bitcoin toward wider Wall Street trading.

https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/03/starbucks-drops-major-hint-at-plans-to-accept-bitcoin/

....

Purchasing a cup of coffee via bitcoin might materialize faster than anyone had thought.

I like the idea of starbucks embracing bitcoin. It is known some starbucks function almost exactly like homeless shelters. Adopting bitcoin could put crypto currencies into the hands of where its needed in terms of helping the poor, the unbanked, those who can't afford the minimum balance on a bank account or have trouble obtaining debit cards or credit cards to make electronic transactions. Over the long term this could help people to find jobs to give them more options and opportunities which could help them to escape poverty and elevate their standard of living. Which in turn could help reduce crime and negative trends associated with violence.

The point @ the bottom about making bitcoin a safer choice for 401k's, IRAs and retirement plans is interesting. I've wondered if bitcoin and crypto currencies in general could have future potential for retirement funds due to them being designed to appreciate in value over time. An asset which appreciates in value could help to offset increasingly higher costs associated with higher average lifespan. It could imply crypto has potential there.

Amazon accepting bitcoin PayPal accepting bitcoin Starbucks accepting bitcoin
Buy coffe for 10 $ pay 7$ fee wonderful

Over 3 months now your maintenance. 


I got email  4 days ago -


Hello,

First of all we do apologize for any inconvenience experienced.

We are happy to announce that new cards are already provided here at SpectroCoin both virtual and plastic ones.
It is worth mentioning that agreement has been reached with other providers and costs are way different comparing to old cards. Now new plastic card will cost 50 USD (old card 9 EUR) and virtual card 9 EUR (old card 0.50 EUR).

Such circumstances and factors complicate the situation regarding compensation and makes the process patience demanding. Please be ensured, however, that resolution will be surely found and you will be certainly provided with a voucher which may be used to order a new card. We can guarantee the official news will be announced through our channels as fast as the matter is resolved and voucher will be provided to you by the email.




So you got new cards , but refuse to refund old ones? How long this circus is going to continue ?


Still the same blah blah from Spectro
sure Spectrocoin has to refund you money blocked on card
Those cards from Alli Wallet never will be back
Visa and Master Card suspended prepaid cards from offshore accounts
All type of forex. investments  crypto are affected

No there are legitimate really valuable projects
Example is Power Ledger price of his token is down but it is down like all market is down
Market is very weak PWRT won Charles Branson competition of most innovative tech start up of the year and there was not any significant up in price
There is not many good ico but there is few worth to buy
999  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it good to buy after ICO because price may drop? on: October 21, 2018, 11:12:58 PM
As i think it more profitable to buy token after listing because most of icos who list in exchange after completing distribution they dropped very badly and its take time to raise again. So if you can catch the dump its better to buy from exchange not from ico. You can buy the coin from exchange by less price than ico price.

I agree with you.It works in more than 90% of ico
moreover most of ico are not worthy to buy even after huge price decline
pump and dump scheme is very hard to follow
But if you find any value project it is really worthy to buy after price decline

I believe that any country any nation needs his own currency needs to have his own money
and decide how to manage them
