1201  Economy / Economics / Re: U.S. Treasury under pressure of DeFi market threat! on: April 09, 2023, 09:09:32 PM
Here, if you read this news then it's coming as a shock that US security is at stake after careful reviewing of how the DeFi market is home to illicit spammers, money launderers, and much more! This side of crypto is helping them move the funds around the world without any hesitation and thus keeping all the regulators under pressure.

Recently, a US treasurer made an official statement that US security is not good in terms of financial management considering the large volume of money is getting diverted through the DeFi line which is for illegal stuff.

We have awakened the regulator's dragon, and I don't know but this could place crypto at risk.
They can try to do whatever they want to do, and maybe they can handle all the people in the business as well, but they can't do anything to the market because that's where the decentralized part comes from. People think that it will go on without a trouble but if you jail the team of pancakeswap, or uniswap or whatever, which I am sure they are located in a place safe, but could still happen, then we have to realize that its not going to be that easy.

I need to make sure that we can do much better and that is why I use decentralized markets that have no owners or anything and just purely managed and run by the people in it. Those can't be touched because there is nobody to touch them, best they could hope is ban the domain.
1202  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Under capitalism eventually 1% own 99% of BTC, 1% have 99% of power? on: April 09, 2023, 08:30:30 PM
I think I understand that the BTC blockchain can't be corrupted, because it would be too difficult to do.  But can't the 99% be exploited the 1% that own 99% of BTC?  BTC is a transfer of wealth to a different system.  Won't the 1% be able to exploit the 99%?  Capitalism centralizes wealth
The difference is that there is no more btc printed over 21 million, whereas there are more fiat printed everyday. The logic of OP is that the rich always gets more money, and when they get more money they can spend it on getting more BTC and that means they can buy all the btc available on sale and they can own most of it.

But the truth is that we have only 21 million, even leaving aside all the burned and gone bitcoins, the rich can't buy them all because we just wouldn't sell it to them. Right now, they can get more because more money is printed and even if you do not give your dollars to them, they can print more and make yours less valuable and own more, but with bitcoin they have to buy yours, and if you don't sell, they can't.

Casemiro is a key player for Manchester United and I think the reason for Manchester United lost the game against Newcastle was Casemiro, however, they should learn to have a player to replace any player they lose and Casemiro is one of them. But according to what we saw from Sevilla in the recent matches they had I don't think if the absence of Casemiro will change anything.
You can't replace any player you have at all times, sometimes the player is so good that nobody could be as good to replace them. For example Mbappe is at PSG, if he is injured, can you really replace him? Of course not and they are having that trouble with Neymar all the time.

Casemiro is so good at what he does that when he is out, there isn't a player that can replace him, and any player that has the quality to make sure you don't feel when Casemiro is gone, will not accept being his bench, because his replacement that is worthy, would also be worthy to start in another club anyway. What can they do, get Rice and put him on bench? Of course not, so you just have to accept when he is gone, they are a bit worse.

Stake just sent out the Easter pre monthly bonus email.

Go on and claim it under: https://playstake.io/bonus?code=EasterPreMonthly7najdg2

Maybe people in the stake forum were already complaining for whatever reason that there wasn't a bonus for a while, I guess today they will be happy.

Curious if the monthly will drop next week on the 13th or 14th or if they will let us wait until the week after Easter, seem a little bit likely now because of the bonus today.
I think maybe that could get combined? I mean easter and all but that's like a monthly bonus as well. I think the moaning and whining is all about the fact that they want to get it and gamble with it quickly, you gotta realize that when you give people something for a while, even for free, if you stop giving that, suddenly they think you owe them.

Normally that was free and you owe them nothing at all, that's not your responsibility to keep on giving it out, but since you did it for long enough, they start to think that that's something they are owed to and deserved to get it. I personally believe that monthly bonus became a bit too out of hand right now because of this.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 07, 2023, 06:34:15 PM
Lens team should be able to win today against strasburg but i don't think it will be easy since relegation opponents are allways tricky to face, strasbourg team is barely out of relegation zone and they can't afford to lose points at this stage still lens are too much for them to handle and if lens team wins it will put a huge pressure on psg.
There shouldn't be much pressure on Lens because overall they are better than Strasbourg who they will be playing today. But that does not mean they can underestimate Strasbourg just like that. This will also be their home game and that will surely motivate them even more to dedicate a win to their supporters in the stadium. I think they will be able to win, even if not by many goals.
Lens being on form doesn't really matter, they are just way too much better than Strassbourgh to begin with. I mean Lens is second in the league, and surely they have 3 in a row wins but even without that, they were third in the league, they are just way too good, whereas Strassbourgh is a team that is fighting not to relegate, 16th in the league right now and that should tell you how much the difference is.

It is not going to be easy to win or anything like that, but it is looking as good as it gets for them. Lens will have an easy win, and it's one of the easiest bets that I ever had. It's football and maybe a shocking unexpected thing happens but I doubt that it would, this should be a pretty straightforward game.
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: April 07, 2023, 05:45:10 PM
After the win that Real had in the cup against Barcelona which no one expected them to totally destroy Barcelona at their home with a tennis result 0-4 and seeing Chelsea last results in the Premier League I think it is clear for everyone of us to see that Chelsea most likely stands absolutely no chance against Real Madrid in these upcoming Champions League encounter.

Even if they sign a great coach,he simply will not have time to change things and Chelsea owners should not be expecting miracles in the Champions League and also in the Premier League from Chelsea during this season.
Football doesn't work like that at all. Liverpool managed to beat United 7-0 just recently, then lost to Bournemouth, Real Madrid, and Manchester city with a tie against Chelsea. That doesn't mean that Real Madrid is bad and will lose, of course they can win and I am pretty sure that they will win.

I am not supporting Chelsea by saying they will win or anything like that. All I am trying to say is that just because Real Madrid managed to beat Barcelona, doesn't mean that they will also be able to beat Chelsea, that is not how football works. They will beat Chelsea because they are going to play better than them and that is going to be the key here and that is how they will get to next stage by playing better than the other team.
1207  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will pump soon? Lower interest rates in june. on: April 06, 2023, 06:41:40 PM
Although bitcoin has had an impressive 50% recovery since the bottom, in the end, we all still don't know what will happen in the future. What we can do is stay calm and hold on no matter what happens.

I do not spread Fuds, but I am not as optimistic about the market as many are expecting. I believe this year, there will still be some tremors that make people panic again. Players have become smarter, the market will not be able to move so predictably. If the market continues to recover from now on and there is no correction, then we will have millions more millionaires created in the next bull season.
I think "bitcoin recovering 50% from the bottom" is actually what we know about the future. I mean I get that it is not a guarantee or anything like that, I get that you are not entirely sure, but isn't that increase tells you anything? I personally believe that if you end up buying bitcoin at this current stage, and then wait for it for a year or two, then you are going to profit from this.

To me, this is a fact, not something that may happen, not something that is potentially good, it is something that is a fact to me that if you buy now and hold for 2 years you will profit. This is why I do not agree that we do not know what the future will be like, I sort of know already and buying because of that.
1208  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price guess for March on: April 06, 2023, 06:11:46 PM
OP: Given March is now over - ending in +23% for reference sake - it'd probably be best to consider locking the topic imo.

Otherwise users will continue to guess March prices even though the month has already passed... just a thought.

You can always open another topic with April price speculation  Wink
I didn't really checked how much it was for March, is it really 23%? That's a pretty good increase, I am also interested in stocks and not many can ever achieve that much increase in a month, not like it hasn't happened before but it is not common like every month type of deal.

Bitcoin is truly volatile, it can go up and down so much in a single month, we see 23% as normal because we had so many months where it was so different and that is why it wasn't really something we could consider as an option. I can't really believe that we had a great month, it has been so long since we hadn't had a good increase that it is really a weird situation to see this happen like it is no big deal.
1209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 06, 2023, 05:21:00 PM
From what I see in Dortmund they are disappointed after they lost the game against Chelsea they were expecting to beat Chelsea because they were in ina good form while Chelsea had a performance for weak, but they thought this will be an easy game for them and maybe that's why Dortmund lost the game against Chelsea in the champions league.
I think that was a breaking point for them too. I mean they expected to get a win on that game but they ended up losing which caused them to be quite unhappy with what they have. Which is understandable because they imagined maybe they would win bundesliga and go a bit further in the UCL as well, probably not win it obviously but at least go a bit further, beat Chelsea at the very least, looking at how Chelsea had a terrible season so far, that seemed like an understandable goal for them.

In the end, they both lost the top spot, and also lost in UCL which happened back to back and that is something that may cause some morale drop in the whole team as well.
1210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 06, 2023, 03:48:03 PM
Better for Manchester United staying below Tottenham, they didn't only win last match to be in their favour, they also have another match to conquer to reach the current match week of the league which round 29, that been said. I think they should be able to win their next match with Everton with the way they are in form, that will hep Manchester to stay ahead of Newcastle if they failed to convert their next match to points.

It is possible for the Manchester United and Newcastle to finish the league on the top 4, they still have strong forms and I think your are right about Arsenal winning Newcastle but I don't think they have good chance of winning except Frank Lampard has a method to transfrom the blues for good this time.
Looking at how United is playing, I still think that they have a high chance of finishing in that third position, and that means a lot. Why? Because it means less games for UCL, and it means more money, and it means they are going to get more tv rights as well, and it basically means that sponsor income is higher too. All of that equals to more money and that's what they need.

There is a possibility that the team could be sold as well, in that case it even means more value to the team as well. I hope that they do as well as they hope for, and if they can, then we are going to see a better United in the future as well. That's something to care about without a doubt.
1211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The bear market is your friend on: April 05, 2023, 08:19:35 PM
bear market only good for those with money to accumulate otherwise it's just full of losses for our investments.
accumulating is great but it does require money beforehand and I'd say not that many are having such money to invest and hold for long, so it's only suited for long term holders.
We are all in this market to learn. Sometimes a lot of mistakes are made in order to learn successfully. Sometimes you have to go through a bear market with huge losses and think that cryptocurrency is a scam. But with time, you learn how to invest properly. You don't have to have a lot of capital to buy coins in a bear market. You just have to sell those coins at the right time and come back to the market in a year or two. Patience is the key.
I think it is obvious that when you make enough profit from it just once, rest is quite easy as well. I mean if you joined the market when it is bear, and wait until it is bull even just once, you made a good profit, and then sell it, wait for a huge crash, wait for it to drop 70%+ and then buy again, and sell again when you make 5x or more profit, even x10, and then repeat that many times over.

That's how wealth happens, all you have to do is the first bear market entry and bull market exit, if you could do that then the rest is incredibly easy and shouldn't be an issue for you at all. I need to explain how hard that is though, going in at the right time and going out at the right time, have to realize that's a tough job.
1212  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is ageing and old people part of bitcoin? on: April 05, 2023, 07:45:31 PM
I think this kind of thing depends on where you live and how your parents think.
Indeed, there are still many parents who are still very unfamiliar with the Internet, Gadgets or today's sophisticated technology, but on the other hand we also cannot close one eye because everyone is different and basically for some large areas there are already very many parents who can. spending all day just reading the news from their gadgets and leaving the newspapers or magazines they like.
A research showed that this is economically related. Nations like UK or USA has a lot more elderly who understands the latest technologies because it's cheap for them, even getting the latest brand new phones and macbooks or whatever do not mean a ton of money for them and that's something they can afford easily, so they buy it and try to learn it, some do and some don't but at least they can try to. Whereas in poorer nations not even young people can afford it even though they work 12 hours a day, like me for example, I can't afford a new iophone, it's about 1000 dollars here, wife wants it, but we can't ever buy it ever in our life.

Because that's too much, and no matter how upset she can be, we will never own one. How could my parents afford it then? They are retired old people living on retirement fund, so it's impossible for them to ever learn if they can use it or not, because they are too poor to even try.
1213  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Predictions? on: April 05, 2023, 07:10:42 PM
Today marks the 18th number of days that Bitcoin has spent consolidating between the price range of $26-$29k, and the last time that this happened was between the end of January and towards the beginning of February, while on the 19th -20 days Bitcoin got a breakout, so if this should be applied to the current market situation , I believe that a break out of this range is imminent and could happen towards the end of the week. We still haven't touched the $30k, we also have not revisited $25k-$24.5k level ,these are two areas to watch for buyers who wants to step into the market.
I would guess that I am sure it could end up being over 30k with the new breakout and make a new bottom. The support will put all the money in there, making sure that it doesn't go under 30k ever again, or at least if it tries to, make it hard to go under that price and that's an important thing. It is not going to be easy and all but it could happen and that's why we should be investing into something that is a bit more profitable if we ever do that.

This is why I am in belief that breakout will happen this month in April, don't know if it will be this week or next, but this month, and then we won't go under 30k ever again for a long time, maybe even ever.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: April 05, 2023, 06:18:04 PM
In fact, most of the European teams are much better and they have better quality comparing African or Asian teams If you check the FIFA ranking or the teams who won the world cups in the past they were mostly European countries or some American counties like Brazil and Argentina that's why I think to have a world cup with better quality, if were are going to see more teams in the next world cup most of these teams should be europian.
It's not just about the teams that win, it's about the teams that participate and bring honor to their nation as well with whatever they have. If a team is destined to lose all their games in the group stages but end up winning at least one, even that makes the nation happy, or if they are calculated as not going out of the group stages, but they do end up going out of the group stages, it doesn't matter if they lose the next game, they did better than expected.

These matter too for the nations and even though we only remember the winners, can you forget Morocco being so good? I am sure Moroccans will never forget that for many years. Those things matter.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 05, 2023, 05:34:30 PM
Chelsea was playing so well against liverpool. Don't you aware of how impressive kante is against liverpool? In his first match after getting injured and kante was able to become a threat to liverpool. His pass and his dribbling is a way better right now than before. I would say that if kante is potentially to be a player who will able to bring chelsea to go to the final of UCL again. I do aware that there will be some hardest matches on chelsea's group but i think that i will not feel pessimistic since kante was going back again. So many eyes are seeing his performance against liverpool.

The coach seems understood the club even better compared with potter. The way of potter thinks about chelsea is different compared with any coaches that have ever managed chelsea.

Potter is the worst coach that has ever been signed by chelsea in the history of chelse. It's a big shame of todd will repeat such mistake again. There must be a professional coach to handle.
I think the difference is that Liverpool hasn't been that good this season neither and that makes the difference. The team obviously feels like a big load is off their shoulder with Potter gone and that makes the difference and Kante is a great player who did amazing after he returned right away and the team will get better and better that's true. But that doesn't change the fact that Liverpool has been a team that struggled this year just like Chelsea did as well so it is not really a clear situation if they are improving right away or not.

We need to see a few more games from Chelsea to make this decision and I think it is going to be an improvement but we need to wait to see it.
1216  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can old trading strategies work again? on: April 04, 2023, 08:39:43 PM
OP, what you have said is more to be looked into. Old strategies are ok to use but you know as time goes on, new development and technology emanate which calls for upgrade. You upgrading means you discovering new more strategy but however discovering new strategy does not mean you neglecting your old  one you can combine both  then apply it to a trade which seems difficult for you or you use the knowledge gained from that old trading to make your way through the complexity of any trade you find yourself in.
The idea of studying a market trend is very much important as well as stated by a member while commenting on this topic that would give you a guideline on how to enter the market and also know the exact trading technique you will implore to scale through in that trade.
So In essence, no trading knowledge or idea is a waste. You can combine them in achieving a positive result while trading.
I think having better technology and better understanding of the market thanks to more detailed research, allows us to have a better trading strategies as well. However, something as old as "buy low, sell high" could still work as well.

You may not know when it will be at the bottom, or you won't know what is the top, but you would know something is down when you see it go from 68k to 16k, there is no reason not to buy it there, it's the ideal "buy low" situation. And same goes for when it is 100k in the next cycle, maybe it will go higher, but you just made more than x5 return, isn't that a reason to be happy about? Of course it is, and that's all we need in the end.
1217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: April 04, 2023, 07:40:04 PM
I think there have been some talks that basically they are going to re design the whole thing because the 2022 world cup was actually quite interesting, so they want to keep the current format.

I'm not sure how it will end up being in the end, but hopefully they actually come up with something reasonable because there will be so many countries now.
I think having more matches would mean more fans, and more games, more tv income and even maybe more merch sales as well. All of that combined there is more money to be made this way and I think Fifa only cares about that. If you can make more money, then find the method that gives you the most money.

This is exactly the reason I say that it will eventually be 64 team thing, for a while that is as high as it will get, I doubt it will get any higher but we will see that. Why? Only reason; money. Because 64 teams means even more money, and easier setup as well, like 2 teams from each group means 32, then face each other to 16 and then quarter then semi then finals, simple method and will happen.
1218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 04, 2023, 06:02:21 PM
only 5 points difference from Real Madrid and if Atletico Madrid can continue to maintain consistency then it is not impossible that they will be able to catch up and occupy 2nd place in the standings.
but I think the top La Liga teams don't seem to have too much desire if they don't compete to be champions.
like Real Madrid, they will find it very difficult to catch Barcelona at the top of the standings and maybe because of that it makes their focus and desire to watch La Liga matches not as passionate as before, maybe Real Madrid will focus on the European stage and Atletico could take advantage of that to be able to finish in 2nd place in the final La Liga standings.
I agree that ATM has a "possibility" to catch up to second place, but Real would probably not allow that at all. I think it is obvious that we are going to end up with a situation where it is not going to be as simple as this to keep them losing, that's not a long sustained thing for Real, and that's why I highly doubt anything would change about that neither.

It's obvious that we are going to end up with something much bigger and better coming up from Real, they are going to dominate the rest of the season probably, because they are good and they want to and that's good enough reason for them to do that, maybe they failed so far, but they will do so from here on out.
1219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best Altcoins to Buy During Dip on: April 04, 2023, 05:41:35 AM
bitcoin and ethereum are clearly idolized, because they are very attractive investments but unfortunately the funds needed are of course not small if you want to invest in bitcoin and ethereum. so we also need alternatives adapted to the funds we have. The altcoins on the best ranking are very decent and up for grabs, but I highly recommend BNB, because the trust in them is very high and it should also be remembered that BNB in 2021 is an altcoin that is rising quite sharply. not other altcoins are not good, just analyze yourself from the best ranking, what suits your funds.
I agree that giving a name and saying this will go up is a risky business and everyone should look for it themselves. Saying "how" you can find a good one is acceptable, which is basically doing your own research and making sure that you are investing into something that is not a scam and has a big community and a great roadmap.

But that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about something that is not entirely profitable for everyone sometimes, yet at least you won't lose all of it if you found one that is not a scam. I fear there are scam projects even in the top 10, so you need to be careful. Bitcoin is the only one I can support with a name, otherwise all others are risky to shill.
1220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 03, 2023, 06:44:53 PM
Klay Thompson tried to play as a hero but he failed. Crappy play.
The biggest threat in 3-point shooting was so open they forget to think about him. If only it was Donte DiVicenzo who got the offensive rebound, the ending will be different.


I mean just look at that last play. 2.8 seconds remaining in the clock and Thompson got it back, and shoot it in a rush, but he was blocked by Murray.
What if he just thought about passing it to the best three-point shooter in the league?
2.8 is enough or maybe even less for his reload and then fire.
That could've shocked the whole Denver Nuggets Ball Arena or better, they will cheer for Chef Curry.
Very bad loss, they want it badly but cannot get it. I can sense a tiebreaker may happen at the 5th to 8th rank.
I wouldn't really blame Klay. For starters he was hot, he just made a tough corner three before this, and they are on a roll with hyped players so everyone thinks like they are making it, made like 10 points in a row or something, that was a good one.

After that, the only reason I wouldn't is that Klay got the ball right on his hand from the bounce, and usually when you get it that well, you shoot it back again, being afraid to shoot it is not something that makes one a good shooter, which is why it's understandable. And the clock is something that goes fast, if you gave it to Curry at that point, he would have less than a second to shoot probably and be much worse.
