1981  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SBF Confirmed He Will Be Speaking at NY Times’ DealBook Summit on: November 25, 2022, 08:31:04 PM
This will cause trouble for sure, there is no doubt about it. Imagine how many people have lost their money because of this and that means we are talking about a situation where he would not be considered a person who is liked at all, and he could be in danger. Someone who lost all his life savings could end up doing something dangerous.

Knowing where he will be is a risky thing, people who are too upset could do something silly because they know exactly where he will be, can even plan it beforehand. So, I would suggest him to cancel this, if he does go through with it, at the very least he would be booed off the stage and worst could be something I don't even want to think about.
1982  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Ethereum keep its leadership in the crypto smart contract industry? on: November 25, 2022, 07:02:53 PM
It will hold it for sure, there is no doubt about that in my mind. I understand that there are a lot of competitions and because of that people act as if there is a possibility of other coins end up being above ethereum even if not in marketcap rankings, but at least usage of smart contracts. I will agree that there will be more and more places that will take away small chunks from ethereum and that’s understandable but that doesn't mean that there will be a single one that will go over it.

Just because there are small ones that grows, doesn't mean that it’s a single project, it maybe like a dozen projects combined together becoming bigger than ETH, that’s the path right now.
1983  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Good the bad and the ugly side of airdrops on: November 25, 2022, 05:42:52 PM
The bad side always outweight the good side and that’s the trouble. Do not even bother to be part of any bounties or airdrops because if they are giving away their token for free, that means they do not consider it to be valuable at all.

There are two valid options with tokens when you are creating a new project, either do not have them all printed before, so that people would have to either stake or mine them and NOBODY has even a single one at first (the staking could be done somehow with others I don't know, it’s beyond me, or have a very small one) or you could just distribute ALL of it and not have any for the creators, that’s it, no presale or anything, just pure distribution.

Well, he is an idiot for sure. It's not about working or not, just because you got money doesn't mean you would have to stop working, you could still keep working. But that kind of money would give you the chance not to get abused, normally if your boss asks you to stay after the shop is closed and clean the place when it’s not your job, then you could not say no because you need the job but with this you could say no.

I work on a freelance job, but if I make 30+ million dollars in a single day, I will probably give a bit of break first and go to vacation but then I will come back and still work, because what am I suppose to do with my life? I would be bored if I stopped working all together, hence why I will keep working to keep my sanity.
1985  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC is likely to head towards a price of $13,000 on: November 24, 2022, 09:38:55 PM
People need to realize that there are too many "weak hands" in the market and that is very important to get rid of them. I know that it could be bothering you, and I know that it is causing a little trouble in some peoples finances, especially in a period like this that means people lack the funds so many more become weak hands because of the economy in general.

But, you gotta realize that it’s not a big problem and we should be fine about it. Just hold your ground and do not let the market make you fear for your money and cause you to sell. Hold it, and hold it for long term, even buy more if you can afford to and eventually you will be the one that profits.
1986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 24, 2022, 09:20:02 PM
Ohhhhh Danilo is an AMAZING player, I played him in my teams when I play Football Manager, dude is not only just great but he grows to be even better each time, of course that may not be real because we have seen plenty of great players on FM that became bad, but if he is given the chance for a bigger club, goes to Arsenal, then there is a chance he could become a lot better because he would be constantly getting help from the best trainers and other staff in the world.

Obviously there are also a lot of Delle Ali type of players who became worse every year, and I just believe that Danilo would not be a player like that, his future is incredibly bright for sure.
1987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Binance Coin losing its Value, What will happen to Public Funds on: November 24, 2022, 08:59:33 PM
This is an assumption and nothing more. The moment you realize that you are assuming bnb coin is all CZ has is a wrong assumption, the quicker you will get out of this trouble. Sure BNB is a big part of what binance is, but the price could be 2 dollars each and they will do fine, and they did fine back when it was 2 dollars as well so it's proven.

The issue here is that people are looking at the coin of a company and assume that they have all their money in there, when in fact they usually do not, they have a lot less money in their own coin than people think they do. Binance has billions upon billions of dollars worth of investments in many other areas and they will be fine.
1988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: November 24, 2022, 08:28:32 PM
Lewandowski shouldn't have done what he did, it was obvious that he was looking to get himself sent off, and the way he did it was such an amateur way to do it as well. I get it, he wanted to relax and rest up a bit before the world cup and wanted to miss one game so he would just directly went back and rested, but the way he did it was too "obvious".

Normally players could just tell their manager to not play him, that should be seen as ok thing to do, just give him one week salary cut and he should take it and it should be all fine. On the other hand, dude just ended up running full force to opponent and jumped on him, that’s not really okay at all.
1989  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you agree that an employer should hire employees who are smarter than him? on: November 24, 2022, 07:46:23 PM
It’s quite a tough decision to make for a few reasons. If the worker is smarter than it would make more profit for you, and that’s a good thing but at the end of the day they could also leave and build their own thing or maybe find a bigger company as well.

I believe that having a smarter worker would be good for short term until they leave. Whereas if you have a very hard working one, then they will do their best for you, and if they are not smarter, they will have harder time proving that they would be good to other companies and that means they will stay with you longer as well. It’s just a simple approach, do you want short term bigger profit, or long term smaller profit?
1990  Economy / Speculation / Re: Elon Musk says the price of BTC will rise on: November 24, 2022, 07:16:24 PM
We should realize two things about this situation and they are very important. One lesson we need to take out from this tweet is that "any" tweet could be tweeted about bitcoin and should not be cared unless it’s a legal one. I understand if Biden or any other government person comes out and says something positive regarding crypto in a law manner would be good, because it’s the law, and being positive with regulations would be awesome.

However, anything else, just a "it's a good thing, it will go up" etc etc, all of them are useless, no matter who tweets them. Secondly, it could be long or short winter, it has already been quite long, but the key here is that it will go up, maybe in 2025, maybe in one week, but it WILL go up.
1991  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New play to earn games that actaully earn you coins on: November 24, 2022, 06:21:53 PM
People could shill anything they want here, that’s the beauty of bitcointalk, but to shill like you are not part of anything but just helping others to see something good, while the whole point is to attract new customers and investors, is a bad way to do it. Openly pay people to promote it, and just put up banners and such, have bounty campaigns, basically do a marketing for it and you will be maybe liked, or at least shilled by us all.

However, acting as if there is no connection and this is just an honest to god investment is a big trouble and will make you look shady and that is why many people do not invest into these things at all.
1992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2022 Group Stage Highlights on: November 23, 2022, 09:28:56 PM
When the nation celebrates a win as a national holiday, you know that was a huge win for sure. This also shows all the people who doubted Qatar to have a possibility of a win on the starting game, yes Ecuador was a better team and yes they won, but it could have happened, if Saudi Arabia could beat Argentina, then Qatar could have of course beaten Ecuador, the difference between them is much smaller than what Arabia managed to do.

I feel like football is great because of games like this, we see rarely when the underdogs (and by this much) end up winning, otherwise if the favourites of all games ended up winning, it wouldn't be fun at all, it would be quite boring.
1993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 23, 2022, 08:45:55 PM
I feel like people are putting too much pressure and blame on Ronaldo, when in reality we are talking about a mutual thing. If there were people in the management that didn't treat him fairly and constantly asked him to be benched and he felt like he wasn't wanted there, then it does make sense for him to go out and say these things.

To ask him to shut up and just take his money and sit on the bench, would be making sure that we are talking about Ronaldo saying nothing to unfair treatment and that would be wrong. Any place in the world where management treats its employees unfairly would be disliked, yet somehow United is not disliked for how they treated Ronaldo.
1994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: November 23, 2022, 05:46:45 PM
First Argentina loses to Saudi Arabia, then Germany loses to Japan. This world cup feels like players did not even care for it, like they didn't even want to be here. I personally feel like there is a good case to be made about the fact that players do not even try to win. Maybe it could be about the fact that if they somehow finish second, they could lose and go back home instead of trying to be here and work harder. November/December world cup is a tough thing.

I guess we will keep seeing more of these type of games, not sure if it will happen quickly or not, but it may happen here and there and it could be quite entertaining for sure to see these underdog wins but not a good feeling to lose these bets.
1995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto is here to stay. on: November 22, 2022, 07:03:24 PM
Bitcoin and crypto are different words. When someone says crypto, they may mean altcoins as well and that’s not going to be that much of a big deal. Let’s be real and accept that some alts will die, like Luna did, and like many other before that and after that.

We just need to accept the fact that it’s not going to be that easy to invest into coins other than bitcoin. However, if we talk about the general "idea" of crypto, it will always be here, bitcoin and "some" other coins will always be here, the top 10 could change, top 20 will change, top 100 will definitely change, but top 1 won't, that’s bitcoins spot and will stay there for sure. I just hope people won't fixate on any other coin.
1996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots on: November 22, 2022, 06:03:43 PM
I have always said that decentralization is with the blockchain and not how you use the coin. I mean bitocin itself cannot be centralized, but what you do with it can be. This time maybe we ought to change that too? I mean not saying that it would be better or worse, but it does look like it is going to end up with something that is hurting the market at this moment if we keep this up.

So, it is better to move to Decentralized Exchanges for trading for example, or any other p2p method for fiat needs. Because at the end of the day it is not looking like we are talking about something that is profitable in the long run if we keep using centralized companies.
1997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: November 22, 2022, 05:03:23 PM
Max just recently said in an interview that after his contract is over with Red Bull he could retire. His goal was to become a world champion, and he became one and there was a controversy with the first one, so he won it again this year and that is purely his, there is no drama going on with this one, and by the time his contract ends, he will be 31 years old and probably will get another 1-2 titles, which would show that he is good enough and he is a world champion with no question marks.

After that, his goals are over, he doesn't have any other goal while racing, he wanted to win, he won, and it's over. I don't know if he will actually do it, but it looks like he didn't race just to race, he raced to win, so after that it feels futile to him I guess.
1998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: November 21, 2022, 08:35:50 PM
I feel like Checo couldn't get the second position because the car wasn't as dominant as people think it is, and Checo was using it to help Max and not win races, there is a difference. It wasn't Rosberg vs Hamilton issue, it was literally Checo just being out there defending so Max could get away with a big win.

The car wasn't as dominant as the points show, because Max was the first driver and he gets the points, but the difference in points was due to Ferrari having a few DNF and also a ton of strategy problems, look at the whole year, Ferrari lost so many points because of bad strategy calls, that means if they didn't lose points due to those, it could have been much more closer to Max than Checo.
1999  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The market will come back bigger again on: November 21, 2022, 07:01:22 PM
It always comes back bigger over and over again and yet the people who doubt that do not stop doubting it. I mean it's clear that we are going to be 68k+ for sure, and we are going to be even 100k+ or even 500k+ one day, sure the 500k+ will be a long time, not expecting it anytime soon, but sometime before 2030 I imagine, which would be fine.

However, on the other hand we are talking about all these people who are selling for some reason. I never understood people who sold their bitcoins, like what is the thinking behind it? What’s the logic of selling something that will go up about x8 or so in a year or two? Is there like a better investment out there that they want to invest into?
2000  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 20, 2022, 08:12:09 PM
On the Piers Morgan interview Ronaldo wasn't really off the idea of going to PSG to play with Messi. Now we all know they are already great without him, and Ronaldo may not serve as an improvement to any position at all, but we also know that Mbappe grew up with Ronaldo posters all over his room and he is idolizing him so much and PSG is having trouble keeping him there even after paying nearly half a billion dollars contract (not paying but will be paid mostly).

So getting Ronaldo to PSG, even if not for his talents or anything, but just to make Mbappe super amazing happy, could actually serve greatly for them, and to be fair maybe UCL would be hard, but Ligue 1 is child’s play for Ronaldo, he could play with the trio together and they four could dominate everyone very easily.
