Melo once again said he is too good to come off the bench. The problemetic part is not that he declines to come off the benc, rockets have a tight depth so they need to play carmelo in starting spot anyway, however the issue is that he still sees himself as a good player that can contribute well.

I mean he is still a decent player considering there are hundreds of really useless players on NBA but this shows that he hasn't acknowledged that he is not what he used to be. I am honestly looking for more exciting season compared to what we had in the past. Moreover, in my guessing, there will be no big differences in 2019 season from 2018 as most star players will continue to entertain us.
682  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this sound realistic? on: July 27, 2018, 05:04:56 PM
This is EXACTLY why I gamble and how I gamble. I have been preaching this idea for YEARS now. I go and gamble anywhere I want and see the money I gamble as an expense for fun. Exactly like going to movies or something. It is purely fun from home on my laptop. I tried to explain this to people yet they try to find some weird ways of figuring out how they can beat the system like gambling house yet no one cane with the house edge house will always win, just focus on the entertainment value and have fun. Because this is how a gambling house must work and we need to accept that fact. There could be few exceptions but those are not definitely the examples. Yes, we cannot copy anyone for making big fortune out of gambling. But, we may copy the way how some gamblers entertaining themselves. But, no one is ready to pay attention on that until they do learn their own lessons like how I did in my early gambling days Angry.

You have a very good opinion. At first, I took almost everything that is connected with the cryptocurrency into work but now I understand it is better to choose several strong projects. Strong projects will definitely reach the end and you will make a profit. And if you take on everything you can spend your time in the empty.
The whole thing actually balls down to wanting to get rich quick either as a bounty hunter or as a trader which are those mentioned by the OP. The thing here is that most bounty hunters just want to pack everything as much as they can either it is of quality or not until they get overwhelmed by it and end up not even being able to fulfill their task. In the same vein, a lot of traders want to get rich fast and they believed that the more money they put, the more the profit, but forgetting the risk involved and using that risk factor as a decision making.

you should always calculate and calculate your strength in advance, not only in the field of crypto-currencies, but everywhere.
But analyzing our weakness is more important than knowing our strength as it will hep us to prevent losses whereas being confident on our strength may lead to taking unnecessary risks which is otherwise known as biting more than what we could chew.
684  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Learning Crypto trading as a beginner on: July 27, 2018, 02:26:35 PM
An actual experience in trading is a good start for us to learn about the simple fundamentals and basics of trading. Aside from having the courage of learning about trading, we must also try it for it will be a helpful tool for us to do better in this field.
The way a lot of you talk about experience makes me wonder if you actually indeed started trading with just experience and learned from it which I can totally disagree with you it is not possible. You cannot become a Doctor or a Lawyer with experience as you have to learn first. It is after learning and as you start practicing all that you have learned gradually that experience then comes to play and you keep getting better and getting professional at what you do.

Learning in trading must be an infinite process hence we cannot definite what to learn and how long that process may go on. We need to trade and learn simultaneously so that we could improve our trading performances. These things may sound like the need of professional traders but unfortunately these are the things should be followed from the beginning days of gambling.

Only those traders who are all focusing on continuous learning while trading, find chances to achieve in their trading career. Other may find some profits but definitely not up to the levels of professional's. 
685  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your advice: When should I cash out? on: July 27, 2018, 01:05:35 PM
How do you know when to cash out??
When you need the money. Unless you are in a hurry to cash out, there is no reason to cash out right now. Wait until something like December happens before you even consider cashing out. If something like that happens once again you can cash out some but do not spend the money on silly things like I once did. It is a wrong move, just put it aside and wait until all coins go back down on a bear market and sees the dip, than buy again but higher amounts this time.

Now is probably not the best time to cash out. I'd say wait until it reaches at least 20k or higher and then you can start thinking about it.
When we believe into bitcoin to reach $40k or $60k then how $20k will be the best time to cash out ? I suggest not rely on bitcoin prices for cashing out. Just calculate your ROI and if you are satisfied with that then you may go for it, else wait more Wink. Everyone might have different expectation on bitcoin price levels but definitely not with ROI and waiting periods as these are personal things.
686  Economy / Speculation / Re: Experts say BTC ETFs could launch bitcoin to 20k, 40k 60k USD on: July 26, 2018, 04:47:04 PM
We should not believe in these experts. Believe in ourselves and stay committed to bitcoin and altcoins. Not just announce an exporter would invest us immediately. We must also have our own research so we can also have concrete knowledge.
It was actually a very funny comment anyway as this shows more of trying to look at the bright side of things than concentrating so much on the negative part, lol. It is one thing to panic because one is in a loss and it is another thing to consider the thing a lot of people see as an issue as a great opportunity. It will be good if bitcoin goes to $20k to $60k, otherwise there will be another buying opportunities. A lot of people have never seen crash as an opportunity but all they focus their mind on is the fear of what they have lost which is because they never had a good reason or a solid reason for which they invested in the first place than to just get rich quickly.

Back to the topic, Winklevolves brothers had started this etf war and I am personally expecting that to happen so that bitcoin may be launched to moon very soon before we all could imagine. If one company start etf of bitcoins then we may expect many others to join the party which may launch bitcoins into million dollar value levels too. Yes, I am not joking, it is high possible when consider the potential of investors who are all looking for new investment opportunities after gold and silver.
687  Economy / Speculation / Re: Main reason for the price drop on: July 26, 2018, 02:57:49 PM
The continued decline in the market is mainly due to people's panic sales, there are many reasons for these panic, such as whale action, hackers attack trading platform!
From those reasons the end users are victims of miscalculations, we do know that after the downfall bounce back will happen, I just don't get the point of those who always in a panic mode when things seems to be dropping they forget about the principle of trading, buy low and sell high, never to invest with something you really don't understand so you will avoid mistakes and loses.
I want to believe it is glaring what is causing the price drop with bitcoin. It is a speculative market, we are in a bear trend and the market is manipulated. There is no market that does not have the hands of the whales in it anyway, so this is one thing we should know. Moreover, the fact is that there is no real demand, it is not like bitcoin is mainly being used as a currency, and a lot of people got greedy last year which makes it easy for the market to behave this way.

But things have turned upside down in last few days and now people are searching for the reason of why bitcoin is showing positive movements. There are belief like bitcoin etf may get approved by next month after a year long struggle. Also, the news of swiss banks are to offer cryptos as am investment option is triggering the up trend wave into new momentum. I am expecting prices to scale new heights in coming weeks as anything will be possible when considering the volumes of most majors exchanges.
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Frustrations: Losing Streak on: July 26, 2018, 12:23:38 PM
Ripping your clothes (never try to rip clothes of other people otherwise you will be beaten) will never decrease your frustration, but one thing can reduce your anger and that is to win back your lost money and for that you will have to gamble more and in frustration you will never win the game. It is better not to gamble.
I wonder how frustration could actually serve as someone strength, lol. The fact that anyone would even get frustrated at first is because they have not fixed their mindset to the fact that the chances of losing is definitely there and they are so focused on winning that they get easily depressed and frustrated after greedily and stupidly losing a huge amount of money. This is what happens to anyone who simply is looking for what is not available from gambling.

Not only in gambling but in every walk of life this limiting help you. This make you believe that you are going to have a good result if things are under limit.
To avoid frustration, limiting must be a the key. Why people are having long streak ? Just because of, not having a proper limit. To have things within our control, we must plan everything well in advance and more importantly we must stick within our plan. If we do not stick with our plans, then having a limit has no meaning at all.
689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Life with a Gambler - Solution! on: July 26, 2018, 08:17:35 AM
Usually when a gambler gets to gamble a lot and start to lose all his money to gambling and if he has a family than there the problems start. I have never seen someone gamble away their life savings and not have a family meltdown, mostly ending up in divorce. Gambling is the sport of single people. You can't have a family and gamble recklessly, there is no way. You have to be careful, even if you want to gamble, just gamble the money you are willing to lose and can afford to lose.
The problem people usually have with gambling is concentrating on it too much. Gambling is not something that should be done in a long time frame and it should always be some short term thing which is the reason why any gambler should always have a pocket and time limit when it comes to gambling. Not placing these limits in the first place is what makes a whole lot of people to mess up big time when it comes to gambling.

Limiting ourselves with gambling will solve most of the problems as well it will help to prevent problems. Gamblers getting into addiction is happening slowly that is the reason why they are not realizing what they are actually doing, also addiction will not let gamblers to realize that slow progress. Gamblers are getting themselves busy with other activities whereas gambling kills them like a slow poison.

You cannot find a perfect solution solution in very short time frame itself as getting out of gambling problems also must need lots of time because that also your slow progress.
690  Economy / Economics / Re: Facebook now joining btc? on: July 26, 2018, 06:34:11 AM
Well it's not impossible and seeing how the winklevoss twins made fortunes investing in bitcoin, zuckerberg may just get an idea to try it. If he hasn't even gotten into btc in the first place. The guy knows how to make money, and with that much money he has, it'll be really tempting to try crypto investments.
This is not even personally about Zuckerberg as no one cares what he is doing personally with his life which I am sure he owes no one an explanation if he ends up investing in bitcoin or not. However, when it comes to Facebook as a company in general, the use of bitcoin as a payment method is still something that is far fetched, but could be possible. What would be more possible like some have mentioned is for them to just create their own utility coin or token for use on the platform.

It will be very very good if facebook joins cryptocurrency. Facebook adopting bitcoin as mode of payment will go along way in affecting people's acceptability of crypto
I expecting that to happen when Bitcoin-ETF will get approved by this August. Because these social giant will not do anything on their own but may steal others idea hence when other market giants will be adopting bitcoins, we can expect facebook also to join them.
691  Economy / Economics / Re: Tax on the crypto currency! What do you think? on: July 25, 2018, 07:42:15 PM
Taxes will greatly help the country's economy if all the crypto assets that everyone owns apply to pay taxes on each transaction or send tokens and coins. eg 1% or 2% of total assets owned.
Are you out of your mind a 1% to 2% tax on each transaction that you make? What if you want to send your coins to another address? Are you going to pay 2% on taxes every time you do this? This is why satoshi based the fee on the size of the transaction and not the value of the transaction so we could avoid such a high transaction fee, which by the way is what the banks already charge anyway, so you just want bitcoin to be like banks.
Lol, he is totally out of his mind. Moreover, it apparently will not work that way as what will be applicable to taxing bitcoin would be capital gain tax and for this reason, it is only when a user or an investor is converting to fiat from cryptocurrency that he or she would be subjected to such tax.

I really do not have an issue with tax, as this definitely will give room for less anxiety of the growth of the crypto space, shows the government is benefiting and somehow supporting it in a way and all these amounts to more investors coming into the space and the real life part of it also coming to play.
692  Economy / Speculation / Re: Tighten your seat belts and hodl the bulls are coming. on: July 25, 2018, 03:36:29 PM
For all the hodl not hodl back and forth critics here's something that would make you simply hodl the sec will most likely give permission to an bitcoins etf, we all know the meaning of this the prices shall explode.
I wore all my red clothes to attract all the bulls around us. Lets hope that these small bull run can reach to the levels of bull we are really hoping for. I really want to see some even if small but some increase in the price, at least levels of $12k or so. It has been so long that the bull run was not around, I really missed it, we had been in a bear run for like 6 months now, its really starts to get into peoples brains.

Already many peoples are loose the hope so current bump is totally change the investors attitude. Again all are continuously buy and hold the Bitcoin because everyone understand the potential of this coin.
Bitcoin fluctuation works in a way which enables people to have faith and also to lose faith, nothing could be done against that to have a consistent thing. As of now, we can observe that lots of people are in positive attitude to see bitcoin in a new ATH region. Hopefully that may happen in weeks too.

Quote
some fluctuation also possible in future so long term holding is the right investment.
I have tighten my belts which is more suitable for long ride. Yes, I mean I have developed a mentality which is very much suitable to withstand against these fluctuations.
693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Criteria of a good gambler on: July 25, 2018, 12:46:44 PM
Good gambler never let the looses to happen all the time. They know how to bring back after that so investors who want to invest on gambler follow the footprints for good gambler that will be work well to make your money go bigger and bigger.
I see some lucky champs in the forum also grow bigger with the gambling side.
Actually we need to learn more with any gambling advicing person or site bro.
You cannot control whether you lose or whether you win as that is basic luck. You can only control yourself and the impulses that come with gambling when you are either winning or losing, and this would make you to know when it is time to stop and get away from the gambling environment. But, profits alone will not define the good gambler.

Getting a huge amount from gambling does not come with any skills or being a champ, it is all about luck and most people who even get lucky and are able to cart away with huge money, are those who usually do not expect too much from it.

After people started accepting gambling also for entertainment, the criteria for good gambler got heavily modified. But in my experience, nothing will define good nor bad gambler. Gamblers must act as per their own experience as incline to external things will definitely affect their performances.
694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you play online casino? if Yes... on: July 25, 2018, 10:23:16 AM
The vast majority of tradicional Casinos will most likely adapt to current world changes / crypto changes and have crypto as well into their real life games.
Such thing would be just fantastic and would change mentality for both Cassino types and grow a bigger community as a merge
Even if they are going to end up adapting to the real world changes, it is not like we still will not have those traditional casinos eventually anyway. The thing here is that everything is evolving, a lot of technology is being built into casinos that make everything automated, but at the end, we will still end up seeing some that would just come manually like dice. Time would tell though how all these things will be playing out.

Little gambling and good entertainment. The real fun is in traditional gambling and not in online gambling.
Different people are having very different opinion. I find myself more entertained within my home itself along with online gambling. Visiting a casino is more expensive for me along with it requires lots of preparations. I platy online gambling and I love them the most.
695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Walk of Shame on: July 25, 2018, 07:06:04 AM
I've been playing online for quite sometime now and I have my ups and downs. When its a bad day for me and lost majority of my allocated funds for gambling I just turn off my PC and move on with my life. I'll return again when I have enough funds for online gambling. I don't play using my savings, that way I don't feel the guilt and try to recover my losses.
I guess we all we always do have ups and downs when it comes to gambling, but the downs anyway is always based on our gambling mentality or how much we are always able to control ourselves rather than being too injected with the wrong mentality until we end up screwing up all our funds.

After winning or losing, I can imagine what would have felt like and it is one thing to actually be so confident after a win as not being able to limit yourself in such situations will always make you prone to making huge and terrible mistake until you eventually end up losing it all. The fact that they hailed you for hitting a huge win and you getting confident as a result of that was your entire fault. I hope you learned from your experience though.

The thing is considering gambling as a way not to win a lot or possibility of losing so much, will always help reduce the down moments when it comes to gambling since you will pay less attention to it anyway.

697  Economy / Economics / Re: Why lot of countries do not allow to use Crpto? on: July 23, 2018, 03:50:11 PM
state wants to get tax. the input and output of the money can not be controlled. also a serious competitor for bankers. also a good way to make money. countries are opposed to it. a money they can not control is troubling governments.
The fact that they are simply going to be losing that control which they are so much used to is enough to scare them into looking for ways to block the idea of cryptocurrency coming into play in the country, but this is not like they have any choice since a lot of it cannot be controlled anyway and they will simply end up missing out in the long run which I believe a lot of countries like this will end up coming around.

Governments have been used to centralization, and seeing the opposite want to take the day, that is something we all know it would be hard for them to accept at once.
698  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: No Bull Run in 2018? on: July 20, 2018, 06:39:13 PM
No Bull Run in 2018?

I am just wondering what will happen to the cryptocurrency market if there will be no bull run that can happen before the end of this year as what many have been expecting? Can we then anticipate a much lower market volume or will there be instead a big rebound like a market revenge? Or should we start watering down our expectations as soon as possible?  I have been thinking of the possible scenarios because I can sense that many cryptocurrency players and holders are really looking forward for a bull run or a bullish market soon...what do you think?
Bull run last year was caused by new investors in Crytocurrency. They are also the reason why all of a sudden the price of BTC dropped and we're not able to recover back to to $18,000 plus. I guess they are scared of losing money in Cryptos that's why they decided to go back to trading stocks and dump their coins. Usually on the 4th quarter of the year price of BTC goes up. But we don't know if this year will be an exception.
Yes, the fact that we are in a huge correction this year, I believe expecting to see a bull run again this year is totally out of it. The market would surely take its time during the downtrend and also take some possible time to even consolidate as well and all these things take time.

For altcoins however, we all know how volatile those ones are and I would not be surprised that they may actually be picking up anytime soon anyway looking at how fast they are ready to move with bitcoin slight pump.
699  Economy / Economics / Re: My Advice on Investing in Crypto on: July 16, 2018, 03:22:27 PM
I even though, and technology in the world so much. The real problem with a good idea to become the right place at the market affect the market will bear in this day and technology o ore the future, right to invest in recent years ago. I even the e. Cause I support that the right to become one
Yeah, investing in the right coins at the right time is a lot that can help you achieve a great deal. For instance, the volatility is even a great advantage to those who understand how to monitor the market in a way. First off, the knowledge of trading, even if it is long term style or pattern of trading, do help a lot in any financial environment, and that can make anyone tap from the volatility.

In one word, knowledge is the only key and without it, it is going to be an issue for whoever is investing in the space.
700  Economy / Economics / Re: My Advice on Investing in Crypto on: July 15, 2018, 08:22:00 AM
Overall it's a great advice for investing purpose but if we talk about crypto trading, it's far more risky than ordinary trading ( stock exchange )
As we know bitcoin value can change almost 50% in a week that will make whale trader gone crazy because they are experience major loss !

Since I've commit myself to be a pure investor, I try to stay calm and stay hold no matter what will happen on bitcoin
You right. bitcoin investment is different from other investment. fluctuation in bitcoin market is very high. and to become a bitcoin investor. You must have patience and not panic easily. because whenever the price can go down very deep and drive you crazy
Totally different from any other investment and generally if we are talking about crypto, it is a lot to take in at once due to the volatility of the space and how things can pretty go very fast.

Nevertheless, the thing investors should always know is that with great understanding, you will always get to do well in the long run as your thinking at the moment will definitely affect your long term decisions which are why it is necessary to equip yourself with all the knowledge to always help you make good decisions.
