@spadormie. Are you certain that there will be a 50/50 chance? The odds the sportsbooks are offering is telling us another story hehehe.

Also, this fight, similar to Tyson Wilder's last fight shows how broken boxing as a sport is.

But we all know that this is just one game that they got to showcase their talents because they might not be as lucky as the next one.

Lucky? That GSW win is a pure effort, not a lucky win.

If ever they will win again next game, still it can't be considered as lucky. They are just playing good.

Warriors should not be on the topic but the Blazers who are much more of a dominant team compare to them. Blazers didn't perform well that's why they lose, no other reason for that such as Warriors are just lucky.

Also, the handicap given for the Portland Trailblazers was +11. That was very close hehehe. However, I reckon the sportsbooks knew the Warriors would play hard despite missing their most important players.

@nutildah. The Patriots were always fumbling the ball. However, you also cannot refuse to admit Lamar Jackson's talent for winning the game for the Ravens. He might be MVP, I reckon.

The developers are greedy? No, the developers are trying to fix the greed advantage of early adopters through infinite emission.

Alright, and how do they do that?
The coin's design is already there since the beginning, with it's inflation, emission & all.

How are the Dev's currently & actively helping Grin move forward? Shorting it 15 fold since it's birth run? Okay.
I don't believe you in the slightest there, sorry.

I shake my head. You blame the developers? Maybe you did not understand the purpose of Grin's monetary policy. Sorry if you have held everything you bought from the beginning, however, I warned you many times.

Go to Beam for moon math.
Actually most of people will. (or already did)

However, most of those people will dump. They are only buying Beam for the moon math. The Grin development team is creating something else. It might replace bitcoin as the most widely held cryptocoin.
6006  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-11-01] How Many More Birthdays Until Bitcoin Wins? on: November 05, 2019, 01:10:49 AM
However, bitcoin has already won. People are using it as an investment, for drugs, for gambling and from it, other coins has been created.

Also, the internet is 30 and bitcoin is only 11 years old? As a speculative investment, bitcoin's potential is still very far, I reckon. If John McAfee gave his prediction 10 more years the risk that he might eat his own penis would be very small hehehe.

It is an article looking for a reaction.
6007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: November 04, 2019, 03:57:25 AM
Kind a stupid way to end the fight Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz.
Masvidal was better, but doctors stop the fight in 3rd round.
Cut on Nate Diaz was not that bad to stop this fight!

The skeptical me would say that this is Dana's plan or might have taken part in Dana's plan. He wants to leave the fans unsatisfied and clamoring for more. The rematch might be a bigger pump and dump hehehehe.

Also, Derrick Lewis lost weight and it might have lessened his power.
6008  Economy / Speculation / Re: Peter Schiff speculation, bitcoin will never hit $50k on: November 04, 2019, 03:06:29 AM
Oh for god's sake, Peter Schiff and his never ending stream of baloney.

He will never say gold isn't bullish, even when the price is falling.  He said that the whole time gold was sinking after it hit its last all time high about 8 years ago and he'll keep saying the same stuff regardless of what gold does.  Because of that I just can't take him seriously when he talks about bitcoin.

China is creating a gold backed crypto?  That's news to me.  I thought the world was essentially done with the gold standard.  Why would they bother with some strange hybrid like that?

I reckon that it was only speculation from bitcoin super permabull, Max Keisler. However, China has been hoarding gold since 2008, also Russia. What would they do with all that gold?
6009  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-11-03] Bitcoin YTD Performance Exceeds 140%, Outperforms Most Traditional on: November 04, 2019, 01:57:30 AM
It's stupid to compare Bitcoin with stocks and other assets, they have different mechanisms behind their value and they have different volumes and market maturity. With this kind of reasoning, you can pick some stupid shitcoin that increased by 1000% and say that it outperforms Bitcoin, so it's the best investment. Or take penny stocks - no one compares them to Apple or Microsoft, even beginner investors would understand that it's stupid.

For hedgefund traders however, they might consider bitcoin to be one of the best performing speculative investments. It acts like a manipulated penny stock for an asset priced so high.
6010  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-11-03] BitMEX Exposes User Emails In Data Leak on: November 04, 2019, 01:32:46 AM

Many people complain why the SEC does not take the development of the cryptospace industry so seriously. As an industry, it might be perceived by the SEC as a little naive boy trying to make it in a grown man's world hehe.


I would not say that this same huge mistake never happened with other platforms in other industries but people in BitMEX should have known better how sensitive are the information under their own care. Showing some stupidity by ignoring some security measures in handling a simple case of sending email and sharing important data can be a form of a big concern for the whole industry. Indeed, this act alone lacks the kind of maturity that we should be expected by now with different platforms working for an in the cryptocurrency industry.

And if this case happened with a reputable exchange like BitMEX, how can we expect that other smaller exchanges will not be making similar stupid mistakes? And should there be a big penalty that should be imposed for a player like BitMEX in this case? Indeed, this is like a little boy playing with matches and pretending that he is old enough not to cause a fire.

Also, consider the hacks and the stolen coins. It is the incompetent exchanges themselves giving the regulators a reason to implement what they want to avoid. Strict regulations.

1st round technical knockout by Corey Anderson. Johnny Walker overhyped by Dana similar to a ICO pumper pumping his token to dump on its fans hehehe.
6012  Economy / Speculation / Re: Peter Schiff speculation, bitcoin will never hit $50k on: November 03, 2019, 01:03:17 AM
Super more than Tom Lee permabull Max Keisler has speculated that China's cryptocoin might be backed by gold. Peter Schiff responds that it might be bad for bitcoin.

I speculate that it might be more heavenly for bitcoin's capital flight market hehehehe. Coin to coin trading is easier than fiat to coin.

BitMEX has experienced a data leak, but not in the way you might expect. In a major misstep, the company accidentally shared user email addresses with its customers.

On November 1st, the exchange issued a statement: “Earlier today, some of our users received an email which contained the email addresses of other users in the ‘to’ field.”

Though BitMEX has blamed the leak on a “software issue,” human error may be involved. Most likely, an employee misused the email software’s “carbon copy” field.

Email addresses alone cannot be used to access BitMEX accounts. However, attackers could gather passwords and recovery info by phishing users or searching the dark web.

Larry Cermak of TheBlock predicts that this will be one outcome of the data leak: “Get ready for constant phishing attempts and emails from competitors,” he writes.

In addition to the risk of phishing, he added that user identities could be revealed. “I’d say more than 50% of emails are trivially easy to doxx,” he posted on Twitter.

The risk is not isolated to BitMEX, since many people use one email address for multiple sites. Binance and OKEx have suggested users update their security settings as well.

Also many people expected bitcoin to be an untraceable and anonymous cryptocoin for buying drugs. Many were disappointed that was why cryptonote was developed.
People expect a lot but know very little. Bitcoin is very transparent by nature, and there is always a trail to follow. That by default means it's not anonymous at all.

That is because the people believed in those news articles about bitcoin as an untraceable and anonymous coin to use for the darkweb. The clickbait victims. I was one of those people hehehe.

You also said that you did not agree to highlight bitcoins limits because of infrastructural problems. You might be right, however, it highlights the importance and the indispensibility of paper money and commodity money.
6015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Grin | PoW Mining | Electronic transactions for all. Community driven. on: November 02, 2019, 02:23:46 AM
Right, and to be honest I'm surprised there hasn't been any formal change request to reduce the inflation which could be voted for and be implemented in the next blockchain update (aka fork) if it'd be voted.

If it ain't 1 per second forever, then it ain't Grin...

I support 1 per second and infinite emission forever. Moon math must be fixed and eliminated. Bitcoin's flaws should not be copied. Go to Beam for moon math.
6016  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: November 02, 2019, 01:18:50 AM
@americanpegasus. If you really lost everything, if you are really driving Uber to have money, Aeon is here waiting only under $0.25 for you and waiting for your famous speech hehehe.
6017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Grin Observer - GRN/BTC - Price Movement and Discussion on: November 02, 2019, 12:33:46 AM
@Cryptotourist. The monetary policy's description and what Grin's emission was supposed to be and its effect on price is written on github. I already shared it in this thread many times.

Grin's infinite emission was desired to remove the moon math.

Yes, I've read it many times, but arguably moon math is not a feature of a coin.
I read somewhere - Lauda I think it was - that Grin would have been better off, if the Dev's weren't so greedy.
I can relate to that, maybe theymos warnings for $0.5 Grin had something to with that also.
Not many coins I know of have cratered like this after birth.

#

Hasn't been made for "Hodlers", more about owners of classical GPU mining rigs.

Yeah, still bashing my head for not keeping that 0.1BTC for 30 mined Grin or so, at the beginning of the year.
I had to reinvest itand more Tongue

The developers are greedy? No, the developers are trying to fix the greed advantage of early adopters through infinite emission. Anyone holding Grin is down in bitcoin and fiat.

@HairyMaclairy. $0.50 on December hehehe.
6018  Economy / Speculation / Re: Speculating with Tom Lee on: November 02, 2019, 12:15:25 AM
@figmentofmyass. Danger! He might be selling! I predict bitcoin to be dumped below $8500 again next week hehehe.

@exstasie. Do you have any speculations?
6019  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-10-29] Lebanon’s Economic Crisis Highlights Bitcoin’s Limitations on: November 01, 2019, 02:46:13 AM
It is alright to highlight bitcoin's limits because of a country's infrastructural problems.
I don't think it's alright.

It's like saying that Bitcoin is limited because you don't have electricity or an internet connection to transact. It only highlights the limitations of your local electricity provider's network and your ISP.

However, this criticism if coming from a belief that bitcoin is supposed to be the savior of the world is a mistake.
That's something you can blame news outlets for. Even if Bitcoin could be the savior of the world as you state it, then it's still up to the people to make the best of it. From what I have seen, people are not capable of seeing the value of Bitcoin and therefore they will not help themselves or their environment.

Only a few have enough sense in them to buy into Bitcoin before things in their country escalate for the worse.

Agreed. Also many people expected bitcoin to be an untraceable and anonymous cryptocoin for buying drugs. Many were disappointed that was why cryptonote was developed.

The concept car is nice, however, I reckon the Mercedes will continue its dominance with the V6 turbo. Engines should be rotated every 4 years with V6 turbo, V8, V10, V12.
