Yeah, it makes sense to just refund people in this case, because of the implications of Tyson bettors getting less. Normally if it was just "everyone gets equal shares" type of situation in regular bets, that would have been viable, but this is basically just a refund situation.

I however really admire both fighters, they are 50+ years old and they went the distance and they both fought like it was nothing, they didn't looked gassed and beat at the end, they looked like they could have gone few more rounds at least. Being able to fight at that age with that high quality is a very very difficult thing, even if you are Tyson or Jones, it is still incredibly difficult. I admire their work ethic and the way they got ready for an exhibition match, hopefully everyone comes out happy about it.

The thing is that one can keep Bitcoins and no one will ever know even if crypto is banned in their countries. I mean this ain't paypal where you are being monitored so anyone can use the peer to peer currency. Now coming to the point that we cannot use crypto at local shops and merchants, so you can easily buy your local fiat when and whatever amount you need.

I mean you keep crypto balance and once you need money for fiat spending you can easily convert and get some. Then you also have sites like bitrefill and others who are making it easy to buy anything with crypto itself. You can recharge, do shopping and buy almost any kind of gift cards from them and I have used them frequently, they are quite good and delivery is instant.

Honestly like everyone said forex is more similar to crypto trading than stock market is. Stock market is slow and not really doing much in reality and that is why you can't really get anything similar with crypto where which has like huuuge movements and very volatile. Forex could be similar because in forex there is huge leverages and with 100x and more (I have seen 400x in one place which is insane) you can get to volatility of crypto there as well.

You could make 2x, 3x or even 10x profits if you are right. Which is why I think it is quite important to learn the systems in forex world so that you could maybe find stuff that are similar in the crypto world as well, they are not exactly the same but they do have things that you can learn and use in both.

As such Bitcoin is also used as a payment means right? Then should one stop investing in bitcoins? Obviously not because what purpose a crypto serves has less impact on a traders preference when buying, instead all traders care about is how the price is doing and how the future demand and supply chain looks like.

XRP lists on top 3 in terms of total market cap so this makes investors feel that the coin has some solid interest and the price hasn't done bad either so no way investors are going to stop and yes there might be better projects but everyone has their own choices.

I doubt that we are going to see this end anytime soon, it looks like we may need to just let things calm down a bit before we try to go up again. Obviously speaking there is a resistance at around $20k and breaking over it will be very very difficult. However when we can actually manage to do it, it is going to be something that will skyrocket instead and will definitely go up a lot.

For example, if we can stay at around $20k without dropping too much (stay above $17-18k range) and still not break over $21-21k range, that could end up with us reaching to a level where we would probably be $30k+ in few months. Not because it is definitely going there, but usually when the price gets stuck for a very long time without going up or down for a long time, it ends up with going up eventually with a very fast speed.

The difference has been talked a million times here, when you are moving from 150 dollars to 1400 dollars you do not need that much money in the market, when you move from 1000 to 20k you do need a ton of money, and when you move from 10k to 20k you need less money than the 2017 run but more money than the 2013 one. Which is why I would list the awesomeness of the increases as 2017 to 2020 to 2013 personally.

However what we should also see here is that before the 2013 bull run the price was around 150 dollars or so and just 4 years later we have seen 20k and just 3 years later we are doing another x7 increase from the bottom after 2017 (3k) and to back to ATH price once again (or maybe even higher). So, things are looking good the longer it takes but we are talking about just very few years in between making huge leaps.

^These type of things happen in the crypto world unfortunately, people do not know who is who and how they could find the real person so they attack everyone until they can't anymore. We all remember the "we found satoshi nakomoto!!!" period in bitcoin right? They found someone who had last name nakomoto and (was it dorian or something) and put him on TV everywhere and even got him questioned by FBI etc etc and satoshi had to come out of shadows YEARS after he was already gone and had to sign a message saying he wasn't him.

I even had something similar, My account name somewhere in crypto world was similar to someone who had scammed a lot of people, so others assumed it was me, I wrote down a simple "if I scammed people with similar name, do you really think I would open another one with same name?" and they got lower in numbers thankfully. Crypto is just nasty when it comes to these things.

They mentioned in the telegram message that this id done to reduce the amount of multi-accounting and people who abuse giveaways. It is a good move because they have haven't lowered any prizes for the regular users and only doubled for the verified users so one who doesn't verify has nothing to complain about honestly.

Even on the weekend stream there was queries and concerns around this topic and Edward nicely and clearly answered each of them. By the way Edward is being more lucky than usual on his streams now days as compared to earlier when he only had losses. .

Airdrops are still viable if you ask me. The problem is, when some method gets famous, the early ones are the good ones and everyone makes money from it, when ICO's first came out everyone made money from it, however over time everyone did ICO's and of course only a few made profit while hundreds of them didn't. Same went with everything after that and right now goes with DEFI as well.

The early defi projects made people a ton of money, but the reality is that many people got into defi a bit too late, nowadays we have copy of the copy of the copy type of defi, like anyone who wants to steal money starts a new project with "uni" in the name or "yfi" in the name to get money from us, so obviously it is like 1/200 that pays well. However it is free, so you can still join all 200 of them and make few dollars without spending a dime.

Yeah, you’re right I have experienced such a thing once. I received a token to my Trust Wallet and I have been holding it there for sometime without checking my Trust wallet, and when next I decided to login and spend some tokens there I discovered that this particular has been changed and the amount I have of this token was then worthless and showing $0.00. It’s been long they have been doing this nonsense and it’s pretty much annoying.

USDT is a better option for escrow, I don’t agree with comments here that are saying ETH and BTC, those two are volatile and can fall anytime, it’s better they use USDT and when you get yours you can decide whether to put in BTC or ETH or not at all.

When there is crisis the economy is hit pretty badly, and it’s worst when it’s a situation that’s unexpected like this one we are facing now.it’s normal that the economies will be affected. But if the government is able to handle the situation the right way, the economy wouldn’t fall that bad. The countries that their economies will be in line to fall the worst in a crisis like this are the developing countries.

Some of them had the opportunity to take actions and prevent the situation, but their government didn’t do what they are supposed, they left their nation’s unguarded till the coronavirus penetrated.

True and I also don't mind taking loans if we have the right plan to utilize the loan and generate profits. I mean yes motivation is needed but you have to start working and you might need funds for someone until you find a new job or if you have a business then you might need some money to get it running again. So, taking loans if not the worst idea but do plan it how you are going to repay and if the money you borrow will actually help as much the interest rate is to be paid.

Motivation along with a solid approach towards earning money is important because things will not improve of their own and you have to work to get them in control.

Maybe people do not want Bitcoins to touch ATH because some heavy dumps might happen once the ATH is crossed. I love the speculations and the reasons given around and I find it funny how quickly people start panicking just after a slight drop in price. I don't check the price daily because it creates tension and I recommend any investors who really want to avoid panicking to drop the habit of checking the price daily.

The bull and bear runs will continue as long as bitcoin exists and if you are someone who gets worried by drops and hikes then the best way is to avoid checking the price and avoid reading local articles which only talk positive and negative based on market movement but never actually gives the true reason or facts behind the drop/rise.

Bitcoin can be confiscated by the government, if you’re just seeing it now then I’m sorry to tell you that it’s no longer a new thing, it has been happening. Things like this happens when you’re living in a country where Bitcoin is illegal and you’ happen to be caught with any cryptocurrency at all, the government is going to confiscate it and then put it on auction and sell it.

So, you have to know what works in your country, if cryptocurrency is illegal, then try to be careful and avoid the law enforcement agencies when making use of it, or else you’re going to lose them.

These institutions keeps on buying lots of bitcoins and packing up in their wallet, this doesn’t seem really good to me. And right from time I have never wanted all these institutions to be part of this, I just wanted normal who likes Bitcoin and wants to make use of it and will also be using it for steady transactions, and not big institutions buying up more than half of the number of bitcoins available and just storing them away in their private wallet.

Although I know that there are people who have so much wanted institutions to be part of this as they claim it’s the way forward, but the truth is that these are some greedy fellas who wants institutions to invest huge money and pump the price so they too can make money.

Although I full agree that there is no bad time to invest in genuine and worth projects but the best time in general to invest in the altcoins market is when the BTC market is suffering a bear run because when the BTC market faces a downfall the altcoin market usually does pretty well.

I would say right now it is not the best time to invest in general altcoins, but if a project is solid then sure go ahead! As for BTC any time you buy is worth it.

Yes, even if you buy Bitcoins and the price goes down immediately one needs patience and the price will recover, might take more time than expected but we all know the market recovers surely.

Also investments don't come in stable coins because people know the best case would be reaching $1 value but in case the project fails then losses are big and hence there is always lack of interest into investing of stable coins. I don't mind a decent stable coin that works on decentralization but I don't believing in fixing something that is only hypothetically broken (hypothetical situation in case Tether dumps).

Exactly and why do we need a new coin just because it would be decentralized? That's crazy because even if centralized tether is doing pretty well and yes there are some hidden risks like they can dump the market whenever they want but no reason why they would do that.

Sportsbet has always been the place where they give back a lot more to customers than any other place. In fact we even had a gossip amongst friends that we joked about they might be doing something illegal and use this place as money laundering, now do not take this seriously as it is just a joke about how they always give away free money, give jerseys, give other tickets to even go see the match, and they sponsor millions of dollars worth of stuff, basically from outside it looks like this place must have like 1+ million dollars wagered here PER DAY in order to be able to pay for all of this, and I am sure they do have a lot of people gamble here to cover that.

But to even joke about it means that we can see how much they are giving away, it is crazy to think about the amount of money they spent on advertisement.

Honestly I do not really think that there was a need to have this type of "check who won biggest" type of thing beforehand, if I was asked I would say instead of doing that, we should focus on adding more stake owned provably fair games as a result. However just like Henry ford said "If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses" in this situation where after getting this, I can't stop looking at it.

Apparently this feature was something that was needed loooong time ago and it is great that we finally have it but before it was implemented I wouldn't even guessed it. In any case as always stake tries to keep customers happy, after this election specially, we have seen plenty of places that ended up not paying up people or just resolving Biden, whereas Stake kept both parties happy.

Everyone feels and knows that it is not the same as 2017, this year is very different for many reasons. However just ask yourself, what type of year 2020 was for the whole world? Would you say it has been very very bad? I mean aside from just corona, it hasn't been good even without corona right? We didn't had anything marvelous happen this year I suppose?

So, crypto has managed to survive a year that has been one of the worst in living memory, for the past 100 years we never had a global pandemic that literally had lockdown in 100+ nations where it kept people at home and walk around in masks by billions of people and over a million dead. By comparison less people died in the past 50 years from wars, and we had plenty of wars. Even with all of that crypto doubled its price and went near to ATH but falling right now. Make whatever you want with that info.
