I have found that in recent time btc phone scam has been increased a lot. Scams call people and pursue people to pay taxes and bills by btc or any altercoins. Even some asks to invest in fake coin also. Mainly the scam group target people over phone.

Has it been happened with anyone??


Hmmm, never seen this kind of scam before in crypto so maybe scammers are really one step ahead and their brilliant minds at it again. Lol. Well there's some famous scam out here wherein, you will received a text message saying that you won this big amount. But before you can claim the price you need to send some funds. So maybe they just put a twist on it, so this time they are asking for bitcoin or any other crypto in return.

So at least we have a headway and thanks for sharing this odd scam so I guess we need to be very careful and attentive and not fall for this kind of trap.

I really thought game 3 is for cleveland. Game four will be a do or die match with golden state and if cleveland loss again I think there will be a big changes on a team some will be removed on the team missing kyrie irving on that situation are really a hard time on them. I hope cleveland will win on the next game.

Yeah, I thought that the home court advantage will remain in this series. Actually they did good, leading as much as 13 points in on stretch if I'm not mistaken. Other players step up, but still its not enough to overcame GSW.

Now, KD responded with a monster game and torching Cavs with outside shooting. He did show himself some Mamba mentality there, when he knocks down a 3 to put the lead to 6. I think Cavs chances are getting slim and I don't think that GSW will let this one slip away. They need to go out and finish them off and not give Lebron the chance to regroup and give them a momentum by winning at least 1 game on their home court.

Well it boils down to the which comes first, chicken or egg argument. But I don't think that Bitcoin really owes its success to blockchain alone. There are other factors and you can say it to blockchain as well. Ironic part is people are talking about this so called ledger which can't be manipulated and data is permanent.

However, they are totally against the crypto currency that made it famous and applicable to almost facets of industry now. From Pharma to Banks, to Logistics and even Medicine. That's the beauty of Blockchain Technology, the same technology that powers Bitcoin.
7944  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Luck in cryptoeconomics is a myth? on: June 06, 2018, 01:52:08 PM
I think that luck does not exist, the more in a sphere such as cryptoeconomics. In order to enter a profitable project, you need to analyze all the risks, and then again analyze everything.

Of course everything in life has something to do with luck, so with that said I believed that you need to be lucky to make a lot of profit in crypto. But I'm not saying that you have to base it everything on pure luck, you have to study and do your homework as well because money will not come to you that easy.

So luck + hardwork = making money. Just saying. We can have arguments about it, but I'm talking based on my actual experience here.

A friend of mine got an offer to sell his 600 BTC to some chinese businessman.
The problem is how to transfer money from China to EU.
Do you have some ideas?


The amount for that bitcoin is around $4.5 Million so you need to transfer it via bank accounts but changing huge amount will cause you huge taxes so you can split up your trade and do it gradually and also use escrow for big transaction then your funds will be safe.Paypal is not a good option because they will charge you more heavy taxes than bank transfer.

Plus it will cause a red flag for banks to see this kind of amounts being transferred overseas. I suggest face to face, or like sort of LocalBitcoins transactions. That's a fairly huge amount so I would be very careful on dealing with the other side unless you really know this guy.

So can also do small transactions to not raise suspicious if you really insist of not meeting the buyer. At least in this way, its going to be safe on both side. Of course, escrow is a must, but I'm not sure who you going to trust with that huge amount.

Ok so Game 2 ended with another win from Golden State Warriors at 122 and Cavs at 103. No need for an over time today. On Game 3 I am guessing that Cavs will be again the one with the lower odds because of the winning streak of GSW but I think playing in the home court of Cavs will give them (Cavs) a better advantage. Why do I have a feeling that a repeat of GSW blowing a 3-1 lead again that happened in the 2016 finals?
I think that is very far from happening considering that the Warriors have already learned their lessons and will try to avoid that scenario once again. Dreymund Green is controlling himself now so he won't be suspended from a game because that is the main reason why the Cavaliers have climbed from that 3-1 hole.
I was actually thinking that the same thing will happen. Lebron doesn't get that much of a help yet but when he does, that is the time that the Cavaliers will turn the table. Kyle Korver and JR Smith were ice cold and hasn't contributed yet. A couple of good games from them will help the cavs go back to the series. A monster game from Kevin Love is also required to get a win from the Warriors. I also want to mention about the referee's, I think they are calling in favor of the Warriors.

Kevin Love and George Hill was really contributing, but I don't know what happen to the rest of the team specially Kyle Korver. I don't know if coach Lue is really thinking that Korver is a liability in defense that's why his time is limited.

But I'm not surprised if Cavs bench started to play as a unit since the next game with will at their court. We all know how it really affected players mentality specially if they are playing at home. So its going to be a good game and James is going to explode as usual but watch how the other players contribute and cut this to 1-2 deficit.

It is like everytime the other players score double digits Cleveland win. That means the rotation is doing great.
Kyle Korver, JR Smith and Green will need to step up. They can also use Thomson for post up since it is a small line up for Golden State. It cannot be all Lebron. It is easy to defend when they have the same strategy over and over again.
They need new ones. Like Lebron is the one waiting at the three point line or cutting on the paint.
I dont see that kind of plays. It is always Lebron as the handler and then he will try to penetrate.
Smith is a guard, he must know how to make plays.

Yes, I definitely agree that he can't do it alone. He can also take that much and sometimes is not enough to carry his team to a win. That's why playing at home will have a lot of advantages to them specially role players you mentioned. I'm really expecting them to really contribute like Korver, who is a not existent in this series specially his outside shooting. Smith's outside shooting and Thompson hassle play.

Actually he can do post up because no one can guard him except Javale McGee. I think Smith is more of a shooting guard than a actual play maker like like says CP3. But he needed to contribute and at least score 10 points to give them a good chance to win.
Tomorrow we will see if the cavaliers will really step up.
I believe they will give their best tomorrow and the number of days before the game tomorrow is enough for the cavaliers to prepare.
If they will loss tomorrow, it would be the end of their series as the chances to come back is very slim.

Correct, that's why I'm really expecting them to go out and play their best game otherwise, the chances are getting slim as the game progress. They have been in this situation against the Boston Celtics before, and came back, but we can argue that Celtics and Golden State is two teams.

However, when a team whose back is against the wall, then expect them to bring out the best in them. And if the betting odds are good, then I will take it anytime.

Actually I am not interested in this man. Different men have different perception regarding on issue. So there may be some confusing things in their conversation but that is not important to me. Bitcoin has passed already more than seven ears and has earned a lot of reputation so at this stage; I am concern about the investment not this man. Moreover this is my personal view.

I'm pretty sure that he is one pillars of how we are doing right now. Just remember he bought pizza back then for 10,000 BTC and that will be etched in our history because we even have a pizza day. You can checked out the transaction if you are a non-believer.

https://blockchain.info/tx/a1075db55d416d3ca199f55b6084e2115b9345e16c5cf302fc80e9d5fbf5d48d

And he did at certain point in time exhange email with the man Himself. How can you can interested on what he is going to say. Satoshi even said to him that he better not go on mining and just fix the bug issues. And if bitcoin has passed for almost a decade, I'm sure that we will not reach this far if not for the man who ordered pizza for 10,000 BTC and put bitcoin in the next level.

7949  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it the best time to buy cheaper crypto while Bitcoin is at high price? on: June 05, 2018, 02:12:58 PM
So many crypto currencies are coming UP . They are much cheaper  than Bitcoin for now. It is so hard to decide  which to buy . Some are in good promos, to buy or invest to it while it is cheaper and sell when the price Will getting high. Is it a good idea to buy while we can not afford yet Bitcoin?

As far as I'm know, its very tricky to invest on shitcoin because for me they are much harder to predict. And we all know for a fact, that those coins have only one purpose, that is to be pump later. It will be good if you were able to get in before a pump-and-dump group do their thing. But if you are late, you really don't know when the dump is coming, so chances are you are going to lose your investment in the end.

As compare to bitcoin which has fully enjoyed the support of most crypto enthusiast globally, and its just a matter of time before another break out run or bull run happens. So I will still stick up with bitcoin most of my portfolio as opposed to some coins which is very unpredictable.

I have seen a lot of friends who follow the bounty program to find additional income and I also do not want to miss but I am still confused because the income that I get just a little ..  Embarrassed

I really can't remember if I have joined previously a bounty campaign because I usually stick with bitcoin paying signature. There is a big risk that you will not be paid in bounties specially when the project didn't reached its soft or hard cap. So it's like gambling as well, and sometimes most bounties lasted for more than a month.

my question, how much income you get from bounty signature or sosmed dll. . ??

It really depends on your rank obviously, the higher your rank the better stakes you gonna get. If you have the patience to join and work without being paid weekly then you can join them, because if the project become successful, I'm sure that you will received big payments at the end of the ICO.

Looks like every week we will hear about Tom's prediction that bitcoin will be having a bull run, but so far we haven't seen any of his prediction happening. But I not really surprised because they have a lot of clients now and maybe they have pitch that bitcoin will be having a significant run this year, so they have to 'influence' investors with his predictions.

But as others have said, he sounds like a broken record that I'm began to think that he is losing his credibility with his miss predictions on bitcoin market. From now one, I won't listen to him anymore and not to take him seriously.
7952  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The pump and dump tactic on: June 05, 2018, 12:03:16 PM
A few hours ago i have seen any different chart and price action of Union coin in different exchange, look like some trader try to pump the coin in cryptopia exchange because this exchange has low volume. But in Kucoin exchange the price did not pump, how can this possible, same coin but different price. I think pump dump tactic just make bad thing with liquidity.

Yeah, as you have explained, it possible that 2 coins can have 2 different prices in 2 different exchanges because just some pump-and-dump groups starting to pump it in a less known trading exchanges as compare to Kucoin that the exchanges might red flag it for suspicious or artificial prices so just be careful.

I have seen this numerous times already, less known trading sites are usually the target of this group because of low trading volumes. But what amazes me is how those group really set it up, sometimes a month before the actual pump, they will purchased the coins at cheap price and will declared that they can manipulate it because they are holding as much as 40% of the market. Obviously, paid members will really entice to join and pay premium prices, sadly though the actual dump already happen way before they announced it in their group, and all was left was a profit divided amongst the members.

7954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling Versus Traditional Gambling on: June 05, 2018, 11:02:19 AM
Ofcourse the accessibility,online gambling only requires internet and budget,then you can start playing,while traditional casino requires transportation,money and physical presence that needs more efforts.

I prefer online casino because im a busy person,every single minute for me is important so if playing gamble makes me happy i will giveit small amount of time to unwind thats why playing in my laptop is I preferred most

This is really depend on how you see things, some people don't want to play online since it is more risky to do so as technology controls the game. There is pros and cons of online gambling as well as the traditional way of gambling. Well If I have to choose, I will go for traditional gambling which you can really feel the excitement of making profit and feel it literally.
In gambling only very few people can win it applies to both traditional and online casinos so by doing traditional gambling you can't increase your winning percentage.so it all depends on the user preference and confortness but online casino is good for the people who are very busy so they can spend little time at the hand to play online.
If you want to have fun with your friends then traditional gambling is better than online casino. If you want to spend most of your time in gambling then online is better because no need to go outside. Just sit in front of your computer and casino is there. Online gambling provides you many gambling options while traditional gambling do not have many options.

I got lost here mate, do you mean that online gambling provides you many games as opposed to traditional casinos? I don't know but I will totally disagree with you. There's more options on a landbased casino, more slots more table to play and even entertainment and free drinks that a online gambling site will obviously doesn't provide you.

So I don't know where you got that idea that traditional casinos doesn't have many options. There are even restaurants or movie houses around in a casino where I usually play that's why I can bring my family with me there and have fun and total entertainment.

Technical data hints that it can go down to 6000 or 5500 level.
What do you think?
We didnt even hit up those levels even this thread is almost 2 months old but we are seeing stabilized or sideway trend of bitcoins price. We are not heading that way anytime soon but still there are possibilities if there are things do happen specially on negative ones. When to buy more? If you able to accumulate when it was on 7k price or 6.8k below this would probably make you some profits as of todays but somehow as a day trader price swings wont really be your primary concern.

And that is a total lost on his part because he/she keeps on expecting a price dip, fortunately the price didn't go as expected so his cycle continues. However, it he bought it as $7100-$7200 and then sold of at $7700 then its a good returns.

That is the problem on waiting for the price to bottom, we don't know what it is so we better do our better judgement on when to enter so that we wouldn't miss that opportunity again.

I suggest that this is another good time to enter again, we are in a red zone, time to stash and accumulate more and don't wait for that price to further dip again.

Im not from cleveland nor am I really a cavalier fan, I do like lebron james though and watching Game 1 was probably the most frustrated I had been ever watching an NBA game.

The refs lopsided calls got more and more annoying then leading up to that overturned charge call that bailed GS out and kept them in the game was the pinnacle....fuck the missed free throw and JR blunder, none of that should of happened. The refs screwed the cavs out of game 1 and probably the series because of that.

I cant stand GS now, gloating around and celebrating after that win when their team is stacked anyways and the refs basically handed them the game is ridiculous.
If you are a fan of the Cavaliers or Warriors it is very hard not to be biased here. I think the blocking foul called on Lebron James against Durant is the right call because James has not established yet his position in my opinion. Game 1 is the best chance for the Cavs to won a game against the Warriors and they blew it. James should not criticize Smith for that lapse so that Smith will not be affected in the coming games.

In the heat of the game? James have every right to critized JR smith for what he did. We may have quote JR for that one "I thought we had the lead", meaning it was really his mistakes not knowing the scores that time. Who the fuck have mental lapses that one? every professional NBA player should not missed that one.

As for the referee, they just doing their job and I don't think that we should blame them as well. Its just the breaks of the game and unfortunately, it was a crucial time for refs to make that call, but totally not their fault to lost the Games, it was JR miscalculations.

GSW won again in Game 2. They dominated the whole game and didn't give the Cavs the chance to lead by many points. Curry made a record too for most 3 pt made in Finals history with 9.

Now Game 3 will be at QLA. The Cavs are in the same situation as they are in the ECF against the Celtics. This is a must win game for the Cavs because if they lose here, there is a huge chance that it is over and GSW will win in 5 games. The Cavs will be more dominate because its their home court but lets see on Wednesday how they will play against this Warriors team. Solid Warriors Smiley.

That is what I was about to same. Remember they are down 0-2 against the Boston Celtics and they are all relax and even laughing during the post game interview.So we know how capable they are. Also the 1-3 deficit couple of years was still fresh in our memory so I don't count out Cavaliers though.

So lets see how Cavaliers will response this time. I know that its a different team and a powerhouse Golden State, but they have shown in Game 1 that they can pull a upset. And it looks like the debacle of the first game was over because they look really focus. However, Golden State was really too much on time and they gave Lebron a hard time.

At least we find someone who is willing to cooperate with US authorities about their plan to launch an ICO. This is a good news and will probably boost Etheruem as well. Let's see how it goes.

Probably the company needs something special to really turn this business around as it was reported that they are not going. So they hop in the latest 'fad' which is crypto / blockchain to at least stimulate their embattled company. So its a win-win situation. Again, its too early to tell so let see and hope that it will push the market again with this news.

I wouldn`t be surprised if Cleveland wins the championship. I didn`t gave them much chance for that, they didn`t play some amazing basketball, especially in second part of the season, but in the play-off, they are great, they look like a champion squad. By my opinion, James is the best player in last decade for sure. He makes his team mates better players than they really are. Non of the other super stars in the NBA are doing that same thing. Golden State is not playing their best basketball, something that I conclude watching the duel with Huston. This will be a fifty-fifty chance finale.

Steph got injured that's why they are not playing their best. However, its enough for them to be in the finals again this year. So they also elevate their game and because Kevin Durant is very consistent as well.

I have to agree that Lebron is one of the best player if not the best player in this decade. But he need more of his team contribution to overcame GSW. Last year Kyrie was there, but still they didn't win the Championship, and with him not in the Cavs team and facing the same GSW lineup, I predict that GSW will take the trophy again.
