Next bitcoin memorable dates

2021 - Bitcoin reaches a new All Time High of more than 20k USD
2024 - Next bitcoin reward halving
2025 - Bitcoin reaches 1 trillion USD market cap
2026 - BTC in circulation reaches 20 million
2027 - Bitcoin reaches maturity and adult age (18 years old). Maybe we will have Bitcoin version 1.0.2 by that time.
2049 - 99.9 % of the 21 million limit will be in circulation (20.9 million BTC)
2100 - History begins...

Except the halving dates every other date is just a speculation. There in no guarantee that it will happen and no one can guarantee it. I have read and heard so many prediction on Bitcoin and I have noticed most them turned out to be a hoax.

But after all Defi was not "invented" to serve as a loan, maybe in the start, but now there a lot more uses.
Such as?

Well if we are talking about the end user, it is all about some form of lending to be honest, but it will become more useful platform with time and it will help some projects to become reality that won't be focused on lending and various forms of lending.

DeFi is not only lending but it also focuses on borrowing, algo trading and creating synthetic assets. Defi in my opinion is currently very hyped and after few years this bubble will burst. Saturation point will come one day. If you are an investor and want to earn good profit then you should invest in DeFi.

The top highest ROI generating DeFi tokens are still below $5. You can still ride on the the top 5 to make some good profit before this year ends.

Things are pretty bad everywhere and in every field.

I have an idea that might sound good to you. Since you mentioned that you have a small amount to invest then I would recommend you to look into Staking.

You have to patiently wait for a minimum year time to earn decent returns but you will earn around 6 percent on an average on your investment through staking.

There are two ways either you stake using an exchange or you use a wallet. You can look into both aspects by checking the links below.

Staking on Binance Exchange.

Staking on Atomic Wallet.

P.S - I am not endorsing any of the above mentioned products.
5024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You want DEFI? Go Oldy on: July 16, 2020, 02:28:18 PM
Currently, Defi is overhyped and wit hype FOMO follows. Incredible returns till date from most of the top DeFi projects does not mean that others will do the same. The top 5 Defi projects with the highest ROI still have a USD value of less than $5. If you want to ride the boat of the highest ROI you still can with these projects.
5025  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lessons from the Past: When bitcoin's price stabilised on: July 16, 2020, 02:20:23 PM
Well considering the past I am happy that Bitcoin is stable now. Last time it took a steep down dive after halving in 2016.
This year we all expected the same to happen but it did not.

I am sure most of us are now mature enough and will not do the same mistakes that some of us did back in 2011. Some of them are still biting their tongue after 2017 gigantic all time high.

I did watch this video last year but I am not sure whether it was on Youtube or on Facebook. It is a kind of a promotion video by the watchmaker because till that time no one had bought it. I do not whether it has been sold by now. But, it is interesting to see such craftsmanship.

A mass scammy behavior is going on Twitter and many high reputated sites and exchange in Twitter posting scam tweet.Dont trust and invest here.Read details to know the truth.



Here scammers offering a 5000 BTC giving back campaign and offering you to get double return.
That means if you send 1 BTC you will get instant 2 BTC.
And the minimum investment is 0.1 BTC

But the problem is that all Reputated wallet accounts in Twitter like Coinbase, Binance posting same tweet.(It's been hacked by any way).
That's why people are investing rapidly and losing their bitcoins.

After so many information floating on every forum and social media that a large number of accounts have been hacked on twitter, people are still sending Bitcoin to the hacker.

Defi is hyped and if you are an investor then Defi is best to quickly gain good profit. There have been a lot of scams lately in this sphere and it is always advised to research before investing. For me these 5 Defi tokens are the best investment opportunity.

More bad news people.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/news/indias-white-ball-home-series-against-england-set-to-be-postponed/amp_articleshow/76974295.cms

Another big series has been postponed thanks to the insane increase in Corona cases in India currently. The boards will continue postponing these matches until the positive cases drop drastically which probably won't happen anytime soon.

It clearly states in the articles that it has been cancelled due to COVID19. In India this virus is spreading like a wildfire. Some Indian states have again placed lockdown in order to control the spread. All tournaments that were schedule to happen in India will get cancelled for sure.
5030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: July 15, 2020, 10:03:30 AM
There are reports coming out that the BCCI is planning to fly out their contracted players for a 6 week training camp and it will become official in the upcoming BCCI meeting on 17th and with that move we might even see the IPL being played in the UAE if they get the permission from the ICC.
Sounds good news to me.. is it only national contracted players or its includes IPL's players too (Domestic)?  

ICC doesn't have any say in BBL, IPL or any domestic league so their permission is just formality imo.

If everything goes well we might be able to see the IPL this year. The statement states "The BCCI is mulling hosting a camp in UAE for their contracted players". Contracted players would be domestic players and not international I guess.

You can read the details here

What we’ve yet to know here, is how traffic is driven over to those two websites, whether it is by means of placing Google Ads with related keywords, through social media and such, or alternative drivers.

Same thought. OP has to find those scam sites one way or another, right? Still awaiting for a reply. I'm personally guessing that this is still advertised on Twitter though, using those hacked Twitter accounts with the verified check marks. Apparently it looks like those scams are still working for some reason. 🤦‍♂️

The websites are not opening anymore as they both have been reported. I am getting a safe browsing error on my browser when I am trying to access both the url.

Both Metamask and Google are blocking it.

Welcome to the forum

I also started with zero knowledge about this technology but with a mindset to learn and understand it. My recommendation to you is to go through different thread and find out what interest you.

My interest was Bitcoin so I have spent a lot of time understanding and learning about it. You can also do the same if you want to by visiting this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0
5033  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Coins vs Tokens - What's the difference? on: July 15, 2020, 09:02:48 AM
I will give my insights with the use of the difference of coins and tokens.

Coins are a independent operates in any platform. The example of the coins are :

  • Bitcoin
  • Bitcoin Cash
  • Ethereum
  • Ripple

Tokens are dependent that requires other platform to operate

Ethereum:
  • Tether
  • Chainlink
  • Maker

Binance coin:
  • WazirX
  • Elrond
  • Kava

Also you can visit the Coinmarketcap for more coins

Tokens :
Code:
https://coinmarketcap.com/tokens/ 

Coins :
Code:
https://coinmarketcap.com/coins/ 


In simple word Coins is an assets of its native blockchain whereas tokens run on those blockchains. Another way to identify a coins is check whether it is mineable. Almost all coins are mined except POS coins. Whereas tokens cannot be mined.
5034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Now Legal In India? on: July 15, 2020, 08:53:43 AM
I'm so confused about India's idea about how they deal with the cryptocurrency, if they will legalize it or not.

They lack of affirmation whether they will allow people to use cryptocurrency or not.

Just like other countries, their decision towards cryptocurrency should be finalize so that it don't make any confusion or dismay to the people who are hoping for it to become legalized. Maybe their country is not that prepared regarding the proper regulation of cryptocurrencies into their economy. Probably, they lack of knowledge and experience in allowing it to regulate in the market that's why their decision is not that secured.

I though that they already adopted the use of cryptocurrency in the market on March this year.



yes they are already accepted Crypto last march but the  banking companies are still against the legalization for obvious reason since people don't trust them anymore and crypto is what  Indian people looking forward to have as investment and savings as well.

This argument will stay forever in India until the realization from the banks happen and they admit to adopt crypto instead of going against it.

The Indian banking system is the worst in the world. Most government-backed banks are in trouble as they have a large pile of debt because of bad loans and big scams.

Private sector Banks are also going through the same phase. With all this happening most investors are moving away and investing in the cryptocurrency market.

This has become a concern for the banks and they are now trying their level best to get cryptocurrency banned in India.

e-toro as per my understanding is a forex trading platform, when did they integrate crypto trading on to their platform?

I am not sure why anyone will use them to trade cryptocurrency? There are tons of cryptocurrency exchange providing the same service and are much better than them.

It is better to avoid such platforms.

^ I don't think BCCI will be looking to host IPL in country like Sri Lanka because they have always security issues due to inside war causes so BCCI will choose UAE if possible. But I am not seeing any news regarding cricket in local media for too long, that's why I thought IPL 2020 has been completely cancelled.
I am sure you wake up after many years because now Sri Lanka is very safe country and no security issues they already done some very good improvements in many fields and BCCI is not going to face any issue regard this but right now no one is sure about this because all things going in limbo until we are not sure about twenty/20 world cup announcement.
Not really, you can see even in 2019 there was a bomb blast in Churches and Luxury hotels.Still there are riots between two communities in SL so I don't think many countries will never allow their players to play on that kind of place.

If the government of srilanka puts adequate security measures then I do not it will be an issue. I think more than security covid19 is a big issue everywhere. Srilanka is still better place with less number of positive cases.



@pakitheboss according to the BCCI president it’s important to stage the IPL because 10 - 20% of the revenue is distributed among all the boards, and this I believe is a big hint for us that IPL will be organised soon (hint: all boards love money don’t they?). Although he was silent on the location it seems that the authority’s are narrowing it down to UAE, as IPL was organised out there in the past, hence I too feel that IPL will be organised in UAE only.

Yes I am aware of the revenue loss but considering the present situation where WHO has come out with a new statement that it is possible for covid19 virus to spread through air, plus the lack of ability to control the spread by almost all countries can postpone IPL this year.

Situation in UAE is not too good too

5037  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 13, 2020, 10:04:41 AM
Not expected at all. I guess England is a way better team than West Indies. I didn't watch the match though; kept some update only. Lucky that I was busy with gambling on soccer onlym Otherwise, I would have lost definitely.
It is obvious England are a much better team but the main players was taking an extended break and West Indies was able to capitalize on the situation and win the first match which no one really expected, the major difference in this match was the way in which both captains played and the team they selected and crucial catch Ben Stokes missed in slips which was a straight forward catch off Blackwood, literally the dropped the match.
I think england was still with the best bowling lineup yes their batting lineup looked a bit novice but you have to praise west Indies as to how good they batted. Even west indies team Isn't a much experienced team so all on all i think west indies did play a pretty nice game. The way holder bowled is magnificent and how blackwood Batted in pressure conditions it was great too.
Looking at now, it seems England was bit over confident, that's a only reason they left Broad out. Sloppy fielding made it worse and didn't helped their cause. Blackwood batted well but English fielder gave him 2 chances by dropping his catch early on his inning (5, 20) result he and Roston Chase came up with 4th wicket partnership.

Broad and Joe root will join the playing XI in the next match. so we can hope 1-1 and then series decider on 3rd test match.

The way West Indies played the first match shows that they have come prepared. I am not sure whether these two players will give advantage in the next test but the way they played the first test they should now buckle up for the second test.

Those are SOP's for all kinds of viral diseases If we follow them then we will never get infected by any virus. Although it sounds easy but it is certainly very hard to follow them.

We, humans, are social beings we need to communicate, and communicating some times can cause us to get infected from a virus. We can't always follow them as we might tend to forget them once in a while.

At the moment since we are hearing a lot of negative information about covid19 we are following the set SOP but as soon as a cure is out half of the world will forget about them.

Thanks @BIT-BENDER for sharing and reminding us once again.
5039  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We are in a Bitcoin Rally, not an Altcoin Rally on: July 13, 2020, 07:16:23 AM
First of all please do not compare the Stock market with the Cryptocurrency market. They both are very different in a lot of aspects.

The second thing is that in what sense do you think Bitcoin is going up or there is a rally? as Bitcoin is still below 10k. Last time when Bitcoin was above 10k it was in the month of February this year.

Till today it is struggling to hit that mark, so I do not consider it as an upward trend but a sideways trend. What I have noticed after the halving is that Bitcoin is less volatile as compared to what it was before halving.
5040  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 12, 2020, 11:14:21 AM
Last day of 1st test and no forecast of rain so far. 40 game points at stake, England need those points badly. Situation looking bit tricky for both teams as game could go anywhere from here.

For England perspective, they would be very happy if they can set target around 200-210 and Windies need to wrap up tail asap.

England : 297/8 .. 183 lead so far


Edit : 9 wicket down lead is now 189 193 runs

Edit: Target 200 runs.


Target of 200 runs is easy unless they lose early wickets.

By the way anyone betting on this match. Its time to look at the currents odds.


Last night I have very small bet then odds was @2.10 for West Indies win now just check its showing @1.66 good change.

200 run target can be easily achieved if West Indies batsmen play sensibly. It is not a huge score and therefore the odds have gone down. But, you never know till the match ends anything can happen in cricket.
