At last Coutinho has proved that why he is not for sale. After four matches, Liverpool has experienced a win by the magical performance of Coutinho. this Brazilian star scored a goal by a free kick which was very spectacular. Not only that but also Coutinho provided an assist of the second gold. in this match, All Red fans were very much delighted to see thier best player's performance and they also congratulated him a lot when he went to bench. After leaving the pitch, Liverpool again started playing unorganized way. so the importance of Coutinho in this team is very clear.

Its catch 22 because if he keeps palying well other bigger clubs will want to buy him. Like torres or suarez situation, they played so good they ended up leaving. The only player liverpool have managed to hang onto in recent times who was playing world class for many years was steven gerrard and he was kinda unique since he is liverpool born.
1342  Economy / Speculation / Re: I See bitcoin at $10,000 before end of this year. on: September 25, 2017, 12:17:21 PM
The news that Amazon will start to use bitcoin as a mode of payment before the end of this year will definitely going to pump the price.
This isn't 2013/2014 anymore. I don't see any reason why the market would shoot up just because a merchant (regardless of its size) accepts Bitcoin. On top of that, there hasn't been any actual confirmation from Amazon itself that it will start accepting Bitcoin by whatever period of time, and as long as that isn't happening, it's pointless to start cheering already.

I see bitcoin at $10000 before end of this year, what is your thoughts.
I don't see any reason for the market to increase this much in just one year. We've been through an extremely bullish period already, and it's safe to say that with the 2MB hard fork coming closer, the market will likely move towards the South rather than North in the runup to this event. Whatever happens after that will be something we'll be dealing with at that time, but right now it's better to remain conservative. It's pointless to expect too much from the market with very important things going on that might heavily influence the market in a negative manner.

I agree that amazon isn't enough of a reason to move us that far on its own, it could spark the move up though.  But anyway regardless of that the biggest reason for $10k this year is fiat is garbage and no other investments are looking good or a safe place to have your money right now.  Bitcoin is where i want my money no matter on the price.
1343  Economy / Gambling / Re: (Prediction market?) Anyone willing to bet on Amazon accepting Bitcoin? on: September 25, 2017, 08:23:42 AM

The mainstream media the other day was talking crap about being able to pick up nail bombs on amazon.  I've seen this before how they are very negative on ebay also.  t would not surprise me to see one of these platforms accept bitcoin pretty soon as a fu to mainstream. Needs to be a paypal bitcoin deposit option so you only have to fund your account for 1 fee.

Right time to buy alts is when bitcoin is at long term lows and nobody is talking about it. Picking up LTC @ 0.002 kinda prices etc.  Right now people are very excited about crypto its best to hold bitcoin to preserve your crypto wealth with the least effort.  Holding alts right now means you'd need heavy research daily.

Its true a million dollars isn't enough to be rich anymore.  Where i am in the UK you will spend half that on a reasonable house alone.  Its not enough to quit working or live a fancy lifestyle.  You can however live frugal and make that money support you over a lifetime if there are no wars or giant economic collapses.

Morata is passing the most suitable time in his career, especially from the recent weeks, he has been outstanding in a word. so that Real Madrid fans and officials may express their repentance for making a leave of Morata. I think Morata just wanted to play more time at Madrid but he didn't receive any assurance of his desire. Hopefully, Chelsea will not miss the service of Diego Costa when they got Morata.
I think Chelsea really missed the service of Diego Costa when they faced Arsenal last weekend, indeed Morata is good goalscorer but it's early to say that he is going to be a suitable replacement for the Brazilian. He is not that strong to play all season without a break and that's the kind of player that Chelsea needs.

Morata might take a little time to be more important than costa but he has way more potential to be a better player vs costa. Why madrid would let go a player like this idk.  He already proved to be world class playing for juventus on loan so why sell him to chelsea? I guess they can just buy him back if needed at a later date or something.

Who will be the next  top-goalscorer  in Premier League?

Standing after 5 of 38 matches:

Lukaku (Manc. United)      5 goals
Aguero (Manc. City)           5 goals
Gabriel Jesus (Manc. City) 5 goals
Vardy (Leicester)               4 goals
Morata (Chelsea)               3 goals
Manč (Liverpool)               3 goals
Salah  (Liverpool)              3 goals
Lacazette (Arsenal)           2goals
Kane (Tottenham)             2 goals


We can rule some players out, watch... Aguero can get injured and Jesus is 1st on the team sheet ahead of him.  Vardy plays for leicester so no. Mane is not a consistent goal scorer, great player though. Lacazette has competition in sanchez and hasn't started all games. So its between the others. I would not pick Salah this season. Either, Kane, Morata, Jesus or Lukaku.

A bad week..put 0.1 on Arsenal and 0.05 on Stoke. Sad
Hey Wenger, whats wrong with your team?

I would say hey Arsenal, whats wrong with Wenger... he should be on his way out already Smiley

Why though the guy has brought huge success with champions league football every year but last.  Arsenal dont have the money of chelsea/city/united and have done better than liverpool and tottenham over the last 10 years. Another manager will struggle to do better than wenger but i'm sure the arsenal fans will get him out.  They'd rather win the league 1 year and not be in champions league 5 other years.

50% seems very high considering they probably wont pay back for a year at best like finex.  I should imagine its high due to people saw how smooth the finex tokens got paid back.
I wouldn't focus too much on this because everything stinks when it comes to Bitfinex. Do you think it was coincidence that Bitfinex managed to buy back its outstanding debt at the moment the price of the stolen coins doubled in value? Definitely not. There is absolutely no way to prove this, but I am fairly sure that they somehow managed to 'borrow' enough funds with these stolen coins in pawn. Or they blatantly liquidated a large chunk of the stolen coins, which is also possible - either way, the outcome for people with debt tokens was positive, and that in a quick fashion.

i highly doubt they touched the stolen coins. law enforcement is watching those like a hawk. they are completely non-fungible, as it stands. what i think happened was that bitfinex "repaid" the debt tokens by issuing unbacked USDT. it's impossible to know, but i think after 6+ months with no fiat withdrawals available, we have to start questioning their solvency. 

Finex do offer withdraws i have heard and its listed on their site but only for ballers moving $50k or more. I'm not sure how i feel about the possibility of them being insolvent, they've launched so many shit coins last few months they must of made a lot of money of that.  The BTCe tokens need a roadmap and i'd be interested at 25% maybe, should imagine other speculators feel same.

i've done significant research into this. there is no evidence whatsoever that anyone -- whales, corporate clients, or not -- can withdraw any fiat money, in any amount. there are a few people going around spreading this misinformation, but nobody reputable has ever been able to confirm it.

sure, they've made a lot of money off adding altcoins. they've done incredible trading volumes. but given the scope of the debt they "paid off" (possibly by inflating the USDT supply), they may not yet be solvent.


Hmm that is interesting i've not thought the the whole $50k withdraw thing could not be legit.  I know i've heard talk of it on the whalepool teamspeak chat.  The story is that finex is not interested in dealing with small customers fiat movements.  Its for sure possible they could be insolvent, we'd need an audit to confirm for sure.  I moved out of trading there for the time being anyway.

I have found this syncs blockchain much faster vs old wallet versions, not sure if i just got lucky but at 1 stage i was downloading 1.67% per hour on my current laptop and usually if i get anywhere near 0.5% per hour on pre 0.15 versions i was pretty chuffed. Thanks for all the hard work from devs Smiley.
1353  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Anyone back on WEX? on: September 20, 2017, 05:10:25 PM
Tokens are trading at 50% of their 'face value', and that's the result of the long time it takes WEX to buy back these coins, at least, that's what they want people to believe.

50% seems very high considering they probably wont pay back for a year at best like finex.  I should imagine its high due to people saw how smooth the finex tokens got paid back.  You can probably double your money in crypto in safer ways so the best option is probably cash out.  The likelyhood of BTCe trying to crash the token market is pretty high also.
1354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bloomberg shifting position on Bitcoin on: September 19, 2017, 10:15:40 AM
I am guessing they recognize they lost the war!
In the last week, Bloomberg negative coverage for bitcoin was obvious, but in the last 72 hours, multiple positive articles, and news been released.

They cover both positive and negative for most of the whole time i can remember, i mean check a video out from them years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88s66zy1n9I   Seems to be mostly postive right.  Them and RT have a decent investment into bitcoin imo.
1355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your plans with your Bitcoin? on: September 19, 2017, 09:56:03 AM
I will save it until price became $10k

Holding coins for such a long term needs a lot of patience

Just a tip to all you hodlers, it only requires patience if you are thinking about selling daily or find yourself in situations where you need the money now. What i do is get busy and earn elsewhere so i dont have to touch my crypto. If you can find a way to work and make money crypto then even better - its also a growing industry so lots of opportunity.

Not really just patience, but also discipline. Making yourself busy is a good way to escape your urge to sell your bitcoin and spend all that money on something that you don't really need. Most people end up selling their bitcoins, buy something they only want but a necessity, and then justify their wrongdoing to feel less sorry.


oh yeah for sure, just live a cheap lifestyle, all the best stuff in life is low cost or free anyway. For me i go to the beach which i live near, i keep fit which is very low cost overall and spend time with the mrs.  You could argue it took money to get mrs/live by beach in first place but not that much. Find right woman whos not after money or material stuff is important.

I dont know about you guys but im mostly looking to spend bitcoin as bitcoin or if its in dollar value i want $100k each now that we have gone up into the many thousands.  I would however always hold at least 50% of coin regardless of any value to protect myself financially in the future and retirement.  Anything i did cash out would be used for the all regular stuff like house, family etc, nothing fancy.

If 2FA cant be put on this forum then a 2nd idea could be making logins only via email rather than username.  I'm no security expert but hackers already have all the login username for taking random shots to hack anyone on this forum.  I know before 2fa the exchange BTC-e used to have username logins and changed it to email for this reason.
1359  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ripple XRP has finally overtaken BitcoinCash today on: September 17, 2017, 05:26:41 PM

Ripple is an altcoin, just talk about it in altcoins - its also probably one of the worse cryptos as just a centralized pile of dung nobody actually uses. Bcash is kinda an altcoin also but cant say i wasn't pleased with it giving me extra bitcoins.  But yeah overall just dump your ripple bag OP and support something with better social change potential Smiley
1360  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Where are updates on BTC-E and recovering coins? on: September 17, 2017, 01:20:59 PM
I had some DASH on BTC-E when the domain was seized. Someone told me to go to bitointalk.org to get updates. I tried searching but get error messages. Can anyone point me to where I can get updates on BTC-E?

Thanks!

r/btce is showing all the updates to easily find + also some extra talk and speculation on btce specifically.  Looks like you will be getting 55% back and a IOU for 45% in form of a tradable token.

I've not seen BTE token on their exchange for trading.  I just tried out their new address and right now i cant sign in, anyone get the same? just reads server error, did they require a password reset or 2FA reset on the relaunch? Seems to be some action in chat and trading going on though.
