We haven't had this thread for, ooh, at least a week or two. I was starting to miss it.

This might be funny now, however, bitcoin will rely only on fees after several halvings. This is not sustainable because ordinary users will be priced out from using it.

@Hueristic. Hehehe yes. I have been tempted already on Cloudbet with their better odds.

https://www.cloudbet.com/en/sports/american-football/tennessee-titans-win-super-bowl-liv/o2045132

In any case, fair odds for the Greenbay Packers on +7 and modest value on the Titans +7.5. Derrick Henry is underestimated hehe.

Grin got ranked as one of the top coins to watch for this week, due to the upgrade to a new proof-of-work mechanism.

Another bitcoin news media website creating hype from a normal standard hardfork. This is bad because some children in the cryptospace might invest on it in the wrong time.

@Hueristic. There was also a proposal from zcash that the tax should be extended hehehe.

There is nothing exciting in news and to report when the bitcoin news media begins talking about Craig Wright again hehehe. Everyone already knows that he is a liar.

Actually, I sort of disagree that it's the same as 2017. We're talking about an actual industry here. A real operation that already has experience of doing business, and is simply tokenizing their business. Real products, real people, real business, real demand. Even compliant with the business regulations too!

That is against everything 2017 projects were: hype, no product, no operations team, nothing;)

Whatever it may be. We would begin having very overpriced or very underpriced  sardines traded on the cryptospace. I speculate that they might also expand their tokenizations plans to canned ham hehehehe.

It will be hard not to be behind Derrick Henry and the Titans after beating the Patriots and the Ravens.

@wheelz1200. We might witness another Washington Nationals underdog story for the NFL hehehe.

@Lucius. However, is the price of bitcoin really associated with the bitcoin news medias' storyboards or are the storyboards association with the price only invented by the bitcoin news media?

@Texacha. It should be easy to find the information if there was a premine. In any case, Beam, similar to the most of the other cryptocoins' limited emission is short of planning. I reckon the whole cryptospace should already learned from Zcash's failure on its block tax model.

@bigslimvdub. I reckon the problem on the community's dislike for spending is Aeon's monetary policy. Miners mine less and less coins and these coins are valued and held more after distribution.

Premines and the developer tax are not scams, however, many of the projects that used this creative method of funding were scams.

Also, a group of venture capitalists behind a cryptocoin project have only one interest. Their profits from the project. How do they do this? Dumping their share of the premine or tax on the community.

@gentlemand. However, is that what bitcoin's triumph should be? To become only a big market similar to gold? I reckon that it appears speculation has become the prime everything for the cryptospace. It is overregulated and overtaxed and coins are not accepted everywhere without conversion to fiat.
5752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The Essential NFL Thread 🏈🏈 - new poll every week on: January 11, 2020, 03:15:28 AM
Seahawks are going to win I think, I really wanted to pick the titans or vikings to cover but I have not seen anything out of greenbay to show they have any heart.

I still think those 2 will cover though.

Baltimore might not cover -9.5 spread also, I reckon. This is the playoffs. Teams will play with more effort and more usually will risk injury because it is the end of the season.

@wheelz1200. Gerrit Cole with the Yankees. Baseball betting thread next hehehe?
5753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jessie Vargas vs Mikey Garica on: January 11, 2020, 02:52:17 AM

In any case, this will be a good fight. The Nitrogensports odds on Jessie Vargas is very high on 5.23.

That's how favored Garcia to win this match, this could be a great odds for bettors who trust on Vargas to win the fight.
BTW, thank you for bring the odds here.

this answers

These are fiat sportsbook or casinos, why the line is still not available on crypto sportsbook?

odds for reference : https://nitrogensports.eu/sport/boxing/boxing-matches

However, is that how much Mikey Garcia should be favored? The sportsbooks might be giving more value on Jessie Vargas in this fight. It is on welterweight.

ccto
Code:
https://www.boxingscene.com/teofimo-lopez-warns-lomachenko-underestimate-me--145778

Date:  TBA
Venue: TBA

The unification fight between Loma and Lopes is sure to take place, they are just finalizing the date and the venue.
Loma will once again be tested with this young and taller Lopez.

Bob Arum quoted,
Quote
“Lomachenko is fighting Lopez, that is done. Now the question is the site of the fight. We have Madison Square Garden bidding against Barclays in Brooklyn and we are also getting a bid from Saudi Arabia to do that fight,” Arum stated.

Odds for this fight is not out as there is no final date of the fight yet.

What do you think of this fight guys?


Teofimo Lopez is only 22 years of age, even though he is a good fighter and lightweight titleholder but experience does matter in boxing.
Whenever this match date is decided and it is available in sportsbooks I will bet for Lomachenko. Even if Lopez lose the match, it will be a honor for him to play against Lomachenko.

Agreed. I also like Lomachenko to win here and be challenged by another young fighter. Ryan Garcia. I speculate that he might become boxing's most celebrated lightweight.
5755  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [NEWS] Is SardineCoin Real? The Sardines Are, At Least hehehe on: January 10, 2020, 04:25:19 AM
I have also read this news and it all appears very real. And why not? If we are converting companies focusing on garments, medical data, drugs, houses, collections, and thousands more, why not include the sardine industry?

Apart from the sardinecoin market might be flooded with overpriced sardines, each token is backed by 1 can of sardines, yes why not hehehe.

Also, who audits and makes it certain that there are real sardines in those cans? Is each token labeled for a certain can?

There are new articles spreading that bitcoin retreats because Trump defuses potential war in the middle east hehehe. What will be the new storyboard if price went on $10k without a war?
5757  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / [NEWS] Is SardineCoin Real? The Sardines Are, At Least hehehe on: January 10, 2020, 02:12:09 AM
Are we in a state of denial or do projects like these point to the signs that the bull market is returning sooner than we expect it?

This project appears to be something similar to the projects before 2017 hehehehe.



It smelled fishy from the start.

On Wednesday, MY Sardines, a Luxembourg-based company, announced its intention to launch a cryptocurrency backed by –  are you sitting? – vintage sardines.

Word of the unconventional initial coin offering (ICO) prompted piscine puns, stimulated discussions about fractional reserve banking and "flummoxed one hack," according to Decrypt Media.

Between the novel collateral, a white paper thin on details (who is the unnamed external auditor for the stock of sardines?) and an April 1 (April Fools’ Day) end date for the sale, crypto commentators suspected SardineCoin was an elaborate prank.

This much is clear: It’s not a fluke.

CoinDesk found the MY Sardines booth at CES 2020, the long-running consumer electronics trade show in Las Vegas. And the company did present actual sardine tins and mySardine.com cards to casual passersby and attendees.


“It’s an investment [that’s] really safe,” said co-founder and CEO Charlotte Ripetti. “There’s no speculation. We have the stock of sardines and then we’re going to create the coin based on the stock.”

The firm says it’s working with a French distributor called Pearl of the Gods to supply the sardines. The company would purchase the tins on Sept. 1, create and distribute the tokens on ethereum shortly after and allow investors to redeem their tokens for cans (1:1, just like tether!) any time over the next 10 years. According to the white paper, investors will not be able to redeem tokens for cash.

5758  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next Bitcoin Halving will drive the price down... on: January 10, 2020, 01:45:20 AM
The exact same thing was said about the previous one and no doubt the one before that. It will be said for every one in future until the block reward becomes a trickle.

Compare hash rates to the first one. I think we're just a little bit higher these days.

It has only been 2 halvings. This is not much data to be certain that miner capitulation will not occur on the next one. Also, bitcoin is more regulated today than 4 years ago. It might be harder to pump without the institutional investors' help.
Truly it is hard to pump the market without institutional investors. As of now we need regulation for the betterment of the market, but for some reason when regulated governments will try to have control over the market. When things go under a centralized authority the growth will get disturbed. Before the next halving entire bitcoin might be mined.

I disgree. The regulators should leave the cryptospace alone. You are a Ripple investor, correct? Would you want the SEC to takedown Ripple XRP because it is an illegal security?

In any case, this might an unliked sentiment, however, we might be trapped in a state of denial.



Psychology of a Market Cycle: Are Bitcoin Investors In Denial?

There exists a schematic depicting the psychology driving the different stages of a market cycle, and it often gets shared in response to the current sentiment in Bitcoin markets.

According to the “Wall Street Cheat Sheet,” investors in the first-ever cryptocurrency could be in denial and will be caught off guard if Bitcoin falls significantly lower from here.

My money would surely be with Mikey Garcia on here.When we do talk about Experience and KO percentage then its clear who do have the edge but doesnt mean that Vargas wont have a chance but this
wont really be an easy fight specially for a heavy puncher Garcia.Same as said above where the dog do have some good odds but i wont still risk up.

Do not underestimate Jessie Vargas. He is taller and bigger and they are fighting in his weight division, welterweight. Mikey Garcia was mainly a lightweight who might have become lazy on the weight cut hehehe.

In any case, this will be a good fight. The Nitrogensports odds on Jessie Vargas is very high on 5.23.

Would Binance list a real community coin similar to Grin? I reckon Changpeng Zhao might do what they did to Jared and Digibyte. Demand a fee of 1/3 the supply hehehe.

In any case, what Asic manufacturers have shown interest in Grin? Is Bitmain one of them?
