1781  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 05, 2022, 09:26:33 PM
Chelsea's result is easy to explain - in the Premier League they lost the race for the title and nothing threatens their place in the top 3. So they focused on the Champions League. Chelsea continues to play in three tournaments (the third is the FA Cup), so this redistribution of power is reasonable. With Arsenal, it's a different story - they've been eliminated from all competitions and play only in the Premier League, so this defeat is the most surprising result since Arsenal played at full strength and there can be no excuses.
Even in that situation, you do not lose to the team at 14th by 4-1. I mean I get that they may not be caring about the current situation, they will be third for sure and they will do well in the league and they need to focus on UCL so  a loss would be fully understandable and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, they shouldn't have lost 4-1, that is basically getting humiliated and makes no sense to me at all. You should be figuring out a way to defend as well as you could after a while and not get scored too much. Park the bus if you have to, which is humiliating as it is since you are doing that against Brentford, but at least do not get a result like this.

It is difficult for Marseille to catch up with PSG, Ligue 1 has entered week 30. PSG has collected 68 points, while Marseille, who is in a second place, has only collected 56 points. The difference of 12 points from the remaining 8 matches is very unlikely to be caught by Marseille, PSG only needed 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats to ensure themselves to become Ligue 1 champions. I think PSG will party early for their success in getting a trophy this season.
It's not only difficult for me, it's impossible because now after end of thirty rounds PSG needs only 3 more wins, and they will be champions of French League for this season and Marseille is unpredictable, and now they need to do some hard work for staying at second spot Rennes is doing very impressive job in last few matches they are at top in form if they keep playing like this in next few matches then we can expect some entertaining end of this season between these two teams for second spot.

Now, Nice is also losing their form which can help Lille and Monaco for having some better spot with this European connection is also possible for them Strasbourg is also now doing some lazy job after very good form in middle of season which give them fourth spot, hopefully they will keep this as well for next few matches as well.
1783  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is available on NO KYC Crypton Exchange on: April 05, 2022, 08:08:05 PM
It's not that I underestimate this exchange, even though it has advantages without KYC, but in my opinion it's better to use a trusted exchange even though using KYC because I think the safety of funds is the main priority in investing. because to withdraw to a local bank of course a KYC is needed too, so from a tax perspective we may not be able to avoid it. especially if the coins we are going to trade are on a large exchange
No KYC will be especially useful for people living in the counties where crypto already is or is going to be banned. So the only chance for them will be to use no KYC decentralized exchanges to operate with their crypto funds anonymously. And concerning the naming of Crypton exchange, crp.is CRP is a ticker for Crypton, that's why it's called like that.
Make sense because you will get in trouble once authorities find out that you are not following the given protocols. It will still be hard to access any exchange including decentralized exchange if you are from a country where crypto is banned. Governments probably request to your local ISP to block any sites that are related to crypto.

@awik p, there's people that prioritize their privacy over security. This is what makes them trust crypto in the first place but the emergence of the kyc and regulation, makes them shocked, they didn't know that these things are now possible for a decentralized currency. Not all are using banks but there are ways to use crypto directly.
1784  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia as the cornerstone of the world economy on: April 05, 2022, 11:29:26 AM
I would add this here - Russia, having previously delivered ultimatums a couple of times, and having received what it wanted, decided that they would continue to calmly achieve their goals by the method of threats, blackmail, ultimatums, and their fifth column in the EU (Merkel, Macron and many others) . They were sure that the EU, the USA, Britain would allow Ukraine to be swallowed up, once again closing their eyes or "expressing concern."
The sad thing is, nobody could stop them and they realized this long time ago. I mean what could the world do about it? The power of nuclear they have, and the willingness to use it if they are not given what they want to creates the biggest issue right now.

What we are looking at right now is the fact that Russia could do whatever it wants, and if you do not do just sanctions, if you do something militarily, like send soldiers, then they will send nukes and that's it, there is no discussion after that and everyone is afraid of that. I do not think that Russia will stop here, they will do whatever they want to do, because nobody else could top them.
1785  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin touched $43k, from $33k in two weeks on: April 05, 2022, 10:28:09 AM
by next few weeks bitcoin price will move higher to demonstrate to investors that this month of April is a sign of preparing to hit $100,000 before the end of the year 2022. Bitcoin price always give altcoins opportunity to rise  because whenever bitcoin price is decreasing in the market other altcoins price will start decreasing too and whenever bitcoin price is increasing in the market, altcoins price will be increasing too that is giving many investors to use bitcoin to determine other altcoins in the community.

Bitcoin investors are about to see massive pumping of bitcoin because the price used to change positively every month of April to allow people to make a good income that will attract them to invest more for a bright future.
We can't really know this and it is impossible to predict that beforehand. You could assume that it would do that but that doesn't mean that you should be able to do something like that. I personally believe that we will be 100k by the end of the year but that doesn't mean that we will be, that is just assumption.

Hopefully we will do that though, I really want to see bitcoin at a higher level already, reaching 70k or more and breaking a new ATH would be very good. We are forgetting very quickly but whenever the price reaches to a new level then we get a lot of people here and suddenly we are crowded and everything is more awesome and we all earn a lot more. I miss those days.

as far as I know they didn't say what their names are, so this is something that this site that "investigated" is saying and even according to the site it says well how honest they are and have helped people, you can read once again what is written on the site, they are not talking bad about the casino. even the former employees that this site says they spoke to were categorical in saying that the site is helping a lot of people and that the site's owners are good people. so where is the problem? the article also doesn't talk about them breaking the law, on the contrary it says well that they are a site that respects the laws. i think you need to stop spamming this thread
He won't, that is his basically attachment to the world right now. We are all living very individualistic lives these days, we do not feel part of a community like back in the day. In the 90's there were understandings of "neighborhood" or whatever, or just a community that you felt you belong to.

These days, especially younger people didn't live those days, that was until 90's and so forth, after 2000+ it became a bit more but since we remembered old days we were still fine, so the younger ones who didn't live those days have this problem. So, what do they do? They find communities online, and either be part of them or be against them very much. That is how they feel like they can attach themselves to the world.
1787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will be the next big industry move? on: April 04, 2022, 05:08:11 PM
The coming of the Metaverse, the use and improving technology of the VR games. I know in the future anyone can watch live football like they are in the arena but actually they are at home and just using a VR or playing casino through VR, hanging out with friends playing poker through VR too. It is just a matter of time before it will happen and I think that is the next big industry move for gambling.
That is what VR does obviously because of its name which is virtual reality. It makes you experience the real thing but only in a virtual way. If VR in games, VR in movies, and VR in other activities is possible then why not a VR based gambling?

I think that is pretty possible too and I don't think it is hard to develop a gambling game like that. It is perfect for games like poker and games that is usually being played by multiple people on a real life casinos. With this VR technology, there is no need for the people to go outside and even if they do, it will still be not possible because there are still an on going community quarantine on most places.
1788  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are there no altcoins that can replace Bitcoin? on: April 02, 2022, 11:51:43 AM
Bitcoin is the best. Is decentralized (others are too), it's open source (the source have been review a million times) works (a bit slow), there is acceptance as money replacement, can order anywhere online, transfers are auto, etc.

When i first got bitcoin i was surprised with this new idea, and it was trending, other projects came along like Ethereum but it wasn't the same.
Not all cryptocurrencies are decentralized as Bitcoin. Majority of them are centralized and can be controlled by the developers or platform that owns it. Although some of them have promised to become fully decentralized as they continue to expand. And one of those that has promised to become fully decentralized is Solana, and I believe that they are getting to that stage now.

But, even at that they wouldn’t still come any close to Bitcoin, it is always going to be the topping the cryptocurrency market and that is the cryptocurrency most people are making sure that they invest in. As for the other cryptocurrencies, you just invest whatever little amount that is left in them.
1789  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto will rival or replace fiat in 10 years? on: April 01, 2022, 08:40:22 PM
As long as governments exist, Fiat won't be going anywhere. Crypto is great, but it'll only remain as an alternative than a replacement to existing Fiat due to very obvious reasons. Governments aren't willing to surrender their sovereignty over the monetary system in exchange for decentralized cryptocurrencies they can't control or manipulate to their own will. El Salvador did adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, but it still hasn't eliminated the use of Fiat (US Dollar) completely.

In 10 years from now, I think everything else will look the same except for the fact that crypto will be much more robust than ever before. If it keeps progressing, then it will be able to live alongside Fiat for generations.
Banks you mean, not government because it was the banks that issued fiats but if there will be no banks, the government will have no choice but to use cryptos as a primary currency. I think it's not about the control but it's about the complications if there will be no fiats but there's only cryptos.

Even myself I can't imagine the world will be after that. El Salvador only adopted bitcoin as legal tender but is it written in the law that once the country made cryptos a legal tender, fiats are now be eliminated? I guess no because el salvador still have their fiat. In the next 10 years, maybe we have lots of countries that made cryptos as a legal tender. That's still nice.
1790  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to understand or know the whale's next move? on: April 01, 2022, 01:49:21 PM
If you see following the whale's social media is the best way to understand their next moves then you're wrong because most of these people usually use their influencer power to make their followers buy the market which they only plan to pump the price so they could sell for profit.
I think using the whales alert and reputable crypto news site is the best way to know the whale's next move
Yeah that is right, but no one gets to know the whale’s next move, we just anticipate until we see that they have made a move. The best thing is just as you have said, we should follow crypto alerts and reputable websites that would deliver information to us immediately the whales invest in the market, that way we can get to invest immediately and then wait for any uptrend that might follow after that.

Sometimes I do feel this is necessary, because there are times that I have seen whales invest in the market or make a transaction, but there isn’t any significant effect that it would have on the market, and things would just continue like nothing ever happened.
1791  Economy / Economics / Re: Member Of The E.U. Parliament Says Crypto Transactions Shouldn’t Be Anonymous on: April 01, 2022, 11:07:18 AM
Is there a possibility for what he is asking for to happen? He is visibly asking for regulation and I don't know how he intend to achieve this except he will legislate that exchange around his country or operating with his country people begin to register with KYC with the exchange. If he wants to monitor the transactions made, he would better read bitcoin white paper and understand the working.
Yes it is very much possible for him to go about doing that. It is only going to apply to those living in his country and not to those living outside his country. And this is only going to work in centralized exchanges. People in that country that are making use of centralized exchanges, are going to be required to give details of the transactions that they are about to make, for example like the OP has said, details of the sender and receiver.

The laws wouldn’t have anything to do with someone that is not living in that country. Although the issue here is that those who are living in that country will have to give information of who they are sending their Bitcoin to, which means that they are revealing the identity of you that is living outside that country.
1792  Economy / Speculation / Re: Btc ath february 2022 on: April 01, 2022, 08:42:11 AM
in looking at the market we must be realistic, but the fact is that lately the price of bitcoin has gone up very drastically. To be honest this situation is quite confusing to me because lately the price of bitcoin has gone up drastically while the war in Ukraine which has had a huge impact on the world economy has not ended. I don't know if the recent price hikes are the end of a bear market or just a temporary price hike that the whales are deliberately trying to create a bull trap.
Correction to this huge increase could be coming up, or maybe it won't but people are afraid of that. I get it though; I mean we have seen it both go up a lot and go down a lot in its history which is why we are always worried and I understand it.

This is why I believe that we should not really be shocked at the current situation, just focus on what you could do with what you are given and do not get worried about the future. In the end if you have enough money in crypto, then whatever happens will be a good result for you in the long run when the bitcoin goes up. That would be a lot better situation for people who are having hard time making a decision.
There was no huge increase that happened but what we felt recently is just a simple recovery. Correction has also been felt last few months so I don't think we will have it again because we have been in a bull.

Only newbies and those that are unprepared of what to do are afraid of correction but for those who are experienced and prepared, they will not be afraid with it or complain but they will only use it for their own good. They can buy more and after that they will play the hodling game again. Although a correction is essential but I don't consider it as a good result. A good result is when it bulls and then you sold for a massive profit.
1793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this true? on: March 31, 2022, 09:20:26 PM
Even if it is true, Because most altcoin projects are scams. A few days ago, a friend of mine was the victim of a scam like one and a half thousand dollars. However, it is heard that the reputation of the altcion that the bear market is releasing is looking good. Even then, I would say from my personal opinion, look carefully before investing in altcion
Investing our money in cryptocurrency is risky indeed, but we can get decent profit if we put our money properly.
The amount of due diligence and research is affects our success when we want to choose the project.
If we want to play safe, just put our money on bitcoin, not on altcoins especially on the new one.
It could be risky, but it is also the only way to store your wealth as well. That is what people are forgetting about when investing into crypto. What you need to realize is that crypto is pegged against the dollar and that means we are talking about inflation saving. If the inflation is bad in your country (which is bad in nearly every country right now) that means that we could save our money in crypto and fight against that inflation. This is of course helping the people who like to invest for the long term, if you are just a trader who buys and sells daily, then that means you are trying to get rich with the volatility of the market.
1794  Economy / Economics / Re: One Alternative To High Gas Prices, The Electric Scooter on: March 31, 2022, 08:43:36 PM
This became a thing in Turkey these days. There is a company called "martı" that has been around for a few years now, like maybe 2-3 years at most but they grew insanely bigger and bigger during the pandemic. Nowadays I am seeing them putting electric type of bikes everywhere as well. Not those huge motorcycle things, just small tiny things that you can sit on and go. I believe that that will grow super insanely high as well. I do not know how you get licenses for that, but they probably spent millions upon millions of dollars to just get those vehicles, both the scooters and the electric mini bikes as well. Its really growing exponentially.
That has existed in my nation for years. It is not really a bad idea, I like riding those things because it is insanely cheap, it is like 10 cents per kilometre if you calculate it, which means that if you go to work 20 km away, that is 2 dollars per day spent on the ride. Even taking the bus could be more expensive then that, so you spend like 4 bucks per day on your travels to and from your work.

Not really a big amount of money and you could rent them everywhere and there is usually an app for it and you could see where is the closest one. The only problem is that sometimes there isn't any close one so you have to walk a lot, or you just use alternative ways. It is never really a good thing to open it up in the morning and finding none in your area.
1795  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are we going to see a new altcoin boom soon on: March 31, 2022, 06:44:26 PM
Most of the market is beginning to pick up in recent times and altcoin look left behind in the recent market boom.

What are we going to expect from the altcoin market with this new market boom will altcoin see a new phase in the market or Bitcoin will continue with the market trend?
When you say most of the market, that simply means that there is already an altcoin included on it because the market is composed mostly of altcoins if not tokens and there is only one bitcoin. You need to be specific and say the name of that altcoin that have been left behind in the recent boom because most of the top altcoins are performing better now together with their master bitcoin.

When btc is rising, we can expect that altcoins will do the same thing but they can't cross over bitcoin. It should be btc that must first take the lead before them. They need to give way to the king. In terms of a new altcoin, a new altcoin can always boom but that can be for short term only.
The three that I could clearly see is XRP, BCH, BSV. Remember that these were all high level coins, two of them top 10 at one point and not out of sight, XRP is not doing horrible but at the same time it is not doing that bad neither. So, we have seen all these three not do well during the 2020-2021 bull run, and not doing that great right now neither.

I am not so sure if you would be interested in that or consider that as "left behind" but there are certainly some projects that go up with the bull run, go down during the bear run and never come back up no matter how much you try. These were done after the 2018 bear run and will stay that way forever most probably.
1796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe it is to invest in cryptocurrency on: March 31, 2022, 11:09:46 AM
Of course, every investment has its own risks, such as investing in the world of cryptocurrency, of course, there will also be loopholes to break into or we lose assets in bitcoin if we are not careful in carrying out intensive supervision at all times, for example, bitcoin security against cross-sectional assets is also closely monitored. by the bitcoin itself but if there is a scam then we also can't do much about the assets we have, but this is very rare in the world of Cryptocurrency
And the risk can vary, they can be low, medium, and high. Investing in cryptocurrencies can be rated as a high-risk investment, it is because they are highly volatile but on top of that, the rewards that you can expect are also higher than other investments.

There is no problem with bitcoin itself but the problem is in the exchanges, wallets and other platforms because they can sometimes be exploited however scams can be easily avoidable if you have already have an experience on this field. They are not deadly as the hacks but both hacking and scamming are not a rare thing in the crypto world but they actually happen all the time.
1797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is Russia brewing? on: March 31, 2022, 09:14:20 AM
For now, Russia has legalized crypto, and this all certainly has big plans to deal with their economic situation that is not good because of sanctions from various countries, maybe by legalizing crypto they can get a way out of the problems they are facing, so now indeed cryptocurrencies have become a way for countries that are in the midst of economic damage, and they can come out by legalizing crypto like Venezuela and Iran.
That is not really a bad idea when you think about it. Crypto is decentralized, which means that if you are using bitcoin to deal with the rest of the world, anyone who wants to deal with you will do that. This will result with you getting a great reserve currency which could help you get as much power as you want economically.

I am sure that they would rather dealing regularly like they have been for a while, but if that is not possible then in that case they will end up dealing with bitcoin obviously. This is basically a "they left us no other choice" solution for Russia and I do not think that it is a bad one neither. They will surely benefit from this in the long run.
1798  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this a start of bull rally in ALTCOIN? on: March 31, 2022, 08:09:19 AM
A pumping process that has reached 90% in altcoins has begun. The stability in the main cryptos is reflected in the altcoins and they are experiencing the recovery process. With the right research and close follow-up, the doors of a period in which a lot of profit can be made are opened.
What are you talking? 90% increase in altcoins has begun? from what perspective ? in which market are you referring ? because I cannot see such reason for the market as climbing 90% for altcoins , sorry but this sounds not true for me.
maybe the idea of altcoin pumping is because the price and the capitalization rose up but that is not enough to reach that high as 90%?
sounds exaggerating .
I agree, I couldn't find too many with 90% increase. If we look at the past 7 days, there are 2 projects in the top 100 that passed the 90%+ mark on increases which are Ziliqa and GMT. I would have to say that this doesn't mean that the market is super high. I would put the average on 10% weekly which is not bad at all. I wish we had weekly 10% increases all the time, that could be considered a big bull run.

In the end, this was a good increase week, but if it was only that and we won't have any follow up this week, then I do not think that we could consider that as a big deal. Hopefully it will continue to keep going high like this, and doesn't start dropping lower.
1799  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and usdt people trust on: March 30, 2022, 07:24:36 PM
As far as I know investors don't have two things in trading, what they have is two ways investors trade.
1. Bitcoin
2. USDT.

Speaking of trust, what is certain is that investors have their own beliefs to trade Bitcoin of their choice and usdt as well as their choice, fact, if rich investors already know about Bitcoin they will leave usdt.

Bitcoin trading is much more profitable than USDT, in the current situation, I think investors trust Bitcoin more than USDT, If it is explained here why they believe in Bitcoin, it may take two pages, the point is: investors believe in Bitcoin more, usdt only as a means or bridge to cross.
I disagree with this, people trust way more than just btc and usdt, they trust altcoins as well. By the looks of it they unfortunately trust in wrong things as well, they are trusting like apecoin or whatever these days for example, they did that to doge and shiba at one point as well.

I am not saying that they are trusting in the great altcoins and doing awesome, they are sometimes trusting into the horrible stuff as well but that doesn't mean that they do not trust other stuff. Obviously, the most trusted ones are btc and usdt and I agree with that. However "the most trusted" and "only trusting" are different things. They do trust btc and usdt the most, but they also trust other coins as well.
1800  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - Projected Bottom and Halving on: March 30, 2022, 06:40:31 PM
Almost impossible but quite probable on balance vs actions taken in US dollar which have greatly weakened it and will continue to further based on bond issuance and repayment schedule in future. 
   100 dollar used to buy a car, now its barely anything so the fixed values we view for pricing will change considerably by the time of future BTC cycles; it is possible when considering that entire picture.
Im more bearish then most but I did not think the ATH was the last high price we will see.  Some say it will occur this year, I do not but I would not say thats all in the past till block reward changes again.   The chart is useful for laying out waves and tides to price action and it is transforming not repeating exactly, anyhow the pattern is useful to observe.
Unfortunately the us dollar is not the only currency that would be going down, it is basically the whole fiat world right now. If you think that 68k was not the last ATH we will see, then you are not bearish than most. People keep talking about death of bitcoin eventually, those are the real bearish people, there are idiots out there who are given a microphone in conferences and say that they know who satoshi is and bitcoin will be zero when that comes out.

We all know that he doesn't know but he is just bearish. The price reaching 100k is inevitable to me, maybe not this year, maybe not next year but "some day" it will be 100k, and that makes me feel bullish enough.
