Does somebody know if Antetokounmpo will play tonight or no? Either way, I don't think they will have any problems against unmotivated Bulls who will most likely be tanking for the rest of season.
Funny thing I was just looking at the Bulls last 10 games and they haven't won too many games.
They the worst team there is right now with only beating Memphis twice and that team has only 11 wins this season.
The Bulls definitely need to do something in the offseason or hope they get a good draft pick so they can have another Jordan like player again to bring it all back to Chicago. Because right now they are the joke of the league.


Yeah, you are right. It's sad to see one of the biggest franchises in the history of NBA. Btw, how do you comment Grizlies who lost by 61 points to Hornets who btw don't have chance to win Play-off spot??? Just LOL

They are on a rebuilding stage and eventually they can find a good players that would help the bulls to become a threat again.
Every team has their time, look at the Sixers, they are consistent to be non performing for many seasons but now they are already battling
in the coming playoffs, and not only that, they have become a threat on the way they played now.
Bulls produce the best basketball player of all time, not sure what happen to this franchise after trying to be a competitive team with Drose before,
can't see the reason why they can't find good selections of players, or they are just not the same management before who can really scout players
and knows how to build up the players together with the coaching staff.

Well its very competitive out there, not only the players side, but in the back or front office as well. The management really needs to find the perfect team before achieving championship level and it seems they are still looking for it.

Look at how Golden State did, they advanced to their first NBA finals since 1975 in 2014-2015 season. So it like 40 fucking years before getting the correct pieces together. Hiring Kerr and then making Steph Curry that player that he is today.

Hey, I'm not old but I'm closer to old than young. I was fortunate to get into the stock market early and even a couple ipo's which led me into real estate etc. so now I'm in crypto, follow it, read it still trying to figure it out. Anyway, although everyone is now talking Bitcoin I think this story has sent a message about saving and investing to younger people. I don't think speculation is a good lesson but the ability to do more with ur money than spend it or gain no interest in a bank account is a good thing and I only learned it by listening to others as I was making my way.

100% correct, and you are really lucky that you have involved yourself that early in stocks and crypto. If I can go back in time I will go to stocks as early as 18 years old. My father was very vocal about it when we I was young and keep telling me to invest early in stocks. But I didn't listen, so that's one regret in my entire life.

Yes, just don't be that greedy and I think you will do good with your investment. I think you are very intelligence and I'm sure that you will take care of your money and not just spend it to material things.
8203  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: G20 Summit can make a trend reversal? on: March 25, 2018, 02:08:28 AM
The G20 certainly has a good effect for the price, we can see from the beginning of 2018 the price has decreased, and if until after the G20 has decreased I think the logic that happens is cryptocurrency will decline and there is no significant development. can be optimistic if the price will be normal and high after the G20 conference is completed.

Personally, I was afraid that the G20 meeting will really bring us more bad news as we have heard that certain countries like France and Germany are really clamoring for a universal regulation.

But fortunately for us, its a total reversal, the G20 thing really brought a lot of good news that's why we have seen the market goes from $75xx-$9K and we even rode a 3 days highs.

Unfortunately, its not enough to sustained the market run as we goes down again. But at least, we are all up and very nervous because its really a big impact to us and its nice to see that it went on our favor.
8204  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-03-23] Yahoo Japan to Launch Cryptocurrency Exchange in 2018, Says Report on: March 25, 2018, 01:33:14 AM
Really no surprises as all if we see Japan + crypto. in one sentence. Just proves that they are really carrying the torch as far as moving the crypto market.

I'm sure that Yahoo Japan see's big opportunities to take a slice on the large pie, so it really make sense to join the bandwagon and get a good head start. I think this could bring a positive impact to the market to a certain level.

I can't say anymore, let's see how it pans out and as welcoming news always coming from Japan.
8205  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is trend Now? on: March 25, 2018, 01:17:09 AM
I find the current trend is to hold coin worth, trading habits should change because it is really complicated and difficult to bring profit, stay away from the ponzi model and lending ico. That is my advice, and you, see the current trend like?  Huh Huh

The trend now is bitcoin will difficult to survive. I don't know the reason but people are worried about the price of bitcoin falling. Because many bitcoiners have loses now because of the price. But if bitcoin will recover and continue to rise up, everybody is going to earn a big profit.

What the do mean difficult to survived? Again, even though that the price is going up and down doesn't mean that we are almost dying. That's the nature of bitcoin. The worries of most of us came from the peak of December. We all hope that the price go really go as high as $20K-$50K, but what happens? If suddenly crashes together will our hopes.

However, all of us should remember how bitcoin has started, it came from nothing and every year its gaining ground, we might be in difficult times today, but I'm pretty confident that it will bounce back and we can say at the end that it's good that we stick with it and didn't panic and sold everything during the crisis.
8206  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: investing in hyip sites? on: March 24, 2018, 02:01:49 AM
There are thousands of hyip sites running in internet and most of the time many people still investing in that scheme. The good thing about of investing in hyip sites is you can earn 200% or more  ROI in your total  investment like it said. like hell ? its obviously SCAM ! ! ! ! .  and also many people are still investing in that same shit even though they know it or they even scammed before. change your lifeeeee ! , your taking risk from trash source.

I guess one time or another, most of us have been deceived by so called HYIP. I still remember that I was really encourages to put some investment and I'm happy that I'm earning like every week so I continue to reinvest and just looking at the calendar and counting how much profit I should me making.

But lo and behold, the site went into maintenance and I can't withdraw and sadly, most of us have been scam. Really hard lessons but I took it and said that I will never be scammed again.

Thanks for the warning though.
8207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible for the cryptomarket to catch up? on: March 24, 2018, 01:43:48 AM
Atleast January 9th this year, my crypto investment was $50,000. I checked it today and it has dropped low to $9860.
I am very sad.
Please is there any chance the market will recover and i will get my $50,000 back?

I'm pretty sure that you have nightmares seeing your portfolio going down. But hey, you are not the only one suffering. Almost everybody, although I have investments, but its not big as yours. It just really sad and felt very frustrated that after enjoying so much money in December, comes the suffering.

But don't give up, don't cut your losses by selling, but instead just continue to hold because I very positive that one way or another we will bounce back and can get to at least break even mid year. So just hold your horses and don't do something stupid that you will regret later.
8208  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-03-22] BTC Price Falls as Markets React to (False) Japan Binance Thread on: March 24, 2018, 01:24:40 AM
Unfortunately, market is very sensitive towards this kind of announcements. Hope it will win those $500 as soon as possible

WOW. Just observation, I just you are really a newbie. Every single negative news (fake or not) will really tip the price to the opposite side as this market is very fragile as this moment. And it made a -$500 swing in just short amount of time. However, today I saw the price climbs as high as $8900 only to dropped again to $8700. hahaha,

Talking about volatility. Its weekends so I'm expecting that there will be some king of minor dups again. But at least $8K will be a good start for the week of March and just maybe $9K ballpark will be met again before this month ends. Let's see how it pans out.
8209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mandela's Gold Hands Sculpture purchased with Bitcoin for $10 million on: March 24, 2018, 12:46:56 AM
This will somewhat bring a lot of attention to bitcoin and the whole crypto market as well. We would have thought that some kind of historical value will be purchased by Bitcoin? No one. So I think its a needed boost to the already fragile market.

I hope though that it will set a precedence as well, and then we will see in the future the most auctions houses across Europe and North America accepting bitcoins as mode of payment. We will see how it goes in the next 5-10 years.
8210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Google Will Remove Crypto-related Ads Starting June 2018 on: March 24, 2018, 12:32:58 AM
Google is now in the hands of large financial groups that are afraid of a decentralized economy autonomy. Le Crypto represents a competition, it is obvious that Google and Facebook make war

A war that will be futile at the end and it will not to on their favor.

Google will ban all relevant types of ads with cryptocurrency in June 2018, this is done for updates to their Financial Services policy.

I'm sure they know that will potentially lost a lot of revenues here. We all know that putting ads is very profitable as well, so banning them will surely hurt them that's why they are restructuring it in June. They don't need a total ad ban, but at least policies that will be both beneficial to each parties.

it was necessary to be done. there were so many fake ico. I think there are forbidden to protect people. it is not needed to advertisement for good project.

Do you honestly belief that they are doing to protect people? Who's people are you talking about here? They are all businessman. Maybe they are just under a lot of pressure from the US government that's why they needed to do it. But for the sake of protecting others? Nah, I don't think so.
8211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum TO $400 AGAIN on: March 23, 2018, 11:59:07 PM
It is not very likely ethereum will ever go that low ever again.There seem to be a strong resistance around 550 and i do not think people will be willing to sell below that.I would have been a very good buy at 400.i do hope the market will recover soon

Resistance at $500 and $550 is there so I do hope that ETH will not crash to $400. The year started very bright on ETH as opposed to Bitcoin who continues on a wild price swing. But it looks like ETH never recovered from the first fall, upon reaching all-time-highs, it suddenly slides more than 50% of its high.

If it ever go back to $400, then it will be back to where it started in June, so be ready for your funds again and start buying when it goes to $400 and then just hold because we might see a similar event like last year and reaches another all-time-high before the end of the year.
8212  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Bitcoin is pretty easy on: March 23, 2018, 11:46:32 PM
Hello,

I am a new investor in Bitcoin and I can tell that trading Bitcoin is so much easier that trading Forex. I double my wallet in 3 months with swing trading! I bought Bitcoins between 6000 / 7400 and sold them at 11.500. Last days I bought Bitcoins between 7300 and 8100 and I still have them.
The important thing is to believe that bitcoin will continue to go up, like me, so you can find the good entry points.

I post Bitcoin analyzes on my twitter channel so take a look, I already have some good results from my start. I post also my results of my profitable EA forex robot.

Good luck!

Chris

I think you may have bought it during the last bottom so that's how we really make money out of the market. Of course you need to have that mental toughness to wait it out before selling it. You are lucky that you have bought it at bottom and sell it at the top price because most newbies keeps on waiting for the bottom/top price before making their moved.

One thing though is that you need to have a exit strategy, which you did that's why you make gains. The last bottom that we have is $7500 so I'm expecting the price to at least double to $15K before I will dump it.

Goodluck to your new found strategy and I hope that newbies will find your story inspiring and not to dump with every dip that they are encounter.
8213  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Beware YOBIT users on: March 23, 2018, 10:37:13 PM
I have been answering 2 support tickets for more than two months.
They allow the purchase in btc of COX and do not allow the sale when they can not be moved to another exchange. Yobit is stealing user's coin in that way and it's not the only currency they use to cheat. BEWARE THIS IS A SCAM

We have heard so much complaints against Yobit that I wouldn't be surprise that you will be another statistics to the growing number of complainants.  Grin. And I'm sure that its a expensive lessons for you to make dude. But thanks anyways for the fair warning.

If you just go around the scam accusations, we will see many many complaints against them. And for those who have been around this game for too long, have totally moved out of Yobit and venture to other exchanges such as Binance.  I'll give you a tip, go here: https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/ and you can see that Yobit is below, #36. Enough said!!!

Satoshi didn't envision that bitcoin will take over the world. He just wanted to have a payment system that will be used universally. Sadly though it was being abused my criminals and hackers that why it gone to a lot of scrutiny from the governments.

If someone doesn't want to go to bitcoin because of privacy issues, then pick privacy coins. I don't agree with him regarding the public ledger, we can used tumblers to hide our activity if we wanted to.
8215  Economy / Speculation / Re: Beginning of luck in 2018 on: March 23, 2018, 09:48:15 PM
Arriving as it waits for the $ 10,000 mark at the end of March, I think we will go as far back as possible to achieve hope in 2018. What do you think about this situation?

We started at the wrong feet and we seems to be having a hard time trying to get up. And with the Mt. Gox trustee keeps dumping when we are enjoying a good run before, I think we need more positive news to be able to give life to the market.

Fresh blood needed to push the price at least $10K mark and say that the bulls are back. However, I guess that we can't achieved it at the end of the month.

Let us see how April will bring to us. I hope that at least the bulls can somewhat battle and fought the bears who have been on top for more than 3 months now.
8216  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin News on: March 23, 2018, 09:28:13 PM
Survey Says 8% of the American Population now own Cryptocurrency.

The survey also found a major gender gap in cryptocurrency holding, with just 4.27% of women saying they own cryptocurrency compared with 11.86% of men. And the average amount of bitcoin purchased by women is just $1,821.65, compared with $3,923.16 for men.

It doesn't make any sense specially the gender gap. Bitcoin is for everyone and has no boundaries, so I don't care if most of them are men anyways. But its very welcoming that Americans is close to what I'm expecting every nation is at in terms of cryptocurrency around 10%.

I'm sure that in the next 5 years, it will likely double and the adoption that we are talking and debating will probably around 2023 and beyond which coincides with the 6 figure ballpark.
8217  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Have you heard this news of G-20 for Crypto currencies? on: March 21, 2018, 11:23:22 PM
I have read the news on several forums and cryptocurrencies news sites and the comments people are making about it is that it is a good news and we should expect bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies going to mainstream very soon. Many people were thinking the g20 are going to give warning about cryptocurrencies but the revise was the case and this should encourage us the enthusiasts.

You don't need to go further as this forum already has a lot of threads about the positive results coming from the G20 meeting.

Actually, one of its board advisor told that crypto is not a bad thing as only 1 % of people around the world is into, or something to that effect, I remember that it was a Sunday and the price went as low as $7500 but in a matter of hours the price jumped to $8000 and then after the meeting it ballooned to $9000 so the outcome of the G20 thing has really brought this jump in price.
8218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: End of Bitcoin? on: March 21, 2018, 10:48:53 PM
Ok, so this is the very first time I am seriously concerned about the future of bitcoin:

https://gizmodo.com/child-pornography-that-researchers-found-in-the-blockch-1823927566

This article talks only about child pornography within the blockchain, but apparently the researchers also found copyrighted material, and other illegal content. Having worked on international governance matters, I fear this could mobilize sufficient national authorities to arrange a concerted crack-down on anything related to bitcoin (starting with, for instance, prohibiting exchanges, fiat flows related to bitcoin etc.).

Given the nature of the blockchain, I can't see any TECHNICAL solution.

Two questions in this regards:

1) do you agree that this is a major threat to the existence of bitcoin?
2) assuming that bitcoin would have be "restarted" (a fork obviously would not solve the problem), how could an "ethical" and "legally acceptable" from of the blockchain and thus bitcoin work?



What is this? Another attack on crypto and trying to portray it in bad light?

I believed that this is another FUD to spread malice about cryptosphere so I urge you to not take it seriously. You have to look at traditional fiat. Its been used not just for child pornography but other illicit things. They are trying to put a blame on blockchain which is obviously is not designed to be for criminals used.

Again, this kind of article should be put to trash bin because its totally garbage and the argument is seriously flawed.
8219  Economy / Speculation / Re: Analysts expect the fall of Bitcoin to $ 2,800 on: March 18, 2018, 11:09:34 PM

Analysts expect the fall of Bitcoin to $ 2,800. According to Day, the penny is the same as in 2013. If this trend continues, in the near future Bitcoin may fall 76% from the peak in late February: reaching $ 2,800.

First, there are no so called experts in crypto market, as the price is based on pure speculation. Personally, I don't think that $2800 is not possible. Because I'm sure that there are buyers around $6K, and that is a great buyer opportunity to all of us.

And please don't be fooled by them, many have predicted that it will go to 0, but its already 9 years since bitcoin continue to thrive and even went as high as $20K last year.

Miners will continue to go mine bitcoin no matter what the price is going to be, in my opinion.
8220  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's with the fud? on: March 18, 2018, 08:56:29 PM
After reading several topics about how bitcoin is going down and how people are getting out it just crossed trough my mind that FUD has started to shake weak hands(again) and that in next few days bitcoin really might start going up.

Anyone share the same opinion?

FUD is like a shadow, it won't simply go away and will always follow us. Good that you notice that this is how the forum works in cyclical, bitcoin goes down, a lot of newbie account or even old accounts wakes up and spread FUD around the forum. But when bitcoin suddenly goes up, the exited, just lurk in the background and comes out with bitcoin is going down again.

I believed that most of them are paid schills, to spread FUD and strike fear amongst the newbies to make a sell so that they can buy bitcoin at a lower price. Its very fraudulent practice but the only way to at least prevent this is not to listen and totally ignore them.
