1442  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: who controls the bitcoin price? on: February 24, 2021, 05:27:53 PM
It can be Big whales But i think most influencers can be Bitcoin cost is controlled by buyers and venders, whales are portion of the buyers and venders that creates at that point be one of the individuals that control bitcoin cost. But nothing controlling the cost that individuals that buy and offer it, it isn't controlled by government ms or banks, it has no central control controlling it. On the off chance that more bitcoin is brought the cost increment and will diminish in case more individuals offer than purchase.

Actually if you say control, it means that it is manipulated by someone or something right? Like in purpose of controlling a scenario and making it like change whenever it wants. I think the answer is none. We all know that bitcoin is a decentralized, volatile and independent cryptocurrency. It doesn't have any person or group behind it though it is discover and created by a single person. The only thing that affect the price of bitcoin and other alts is because of the market. It depends on the investors who buy and sell some supply of it. And one of the thing that I agree is that also because of large whales or bulk buying or even selling. Bitcoin stands alone but pricr depends on people ask price or bid price in the market.
1443  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to my bitcoin if I die today? on: February 24, 2021, 11:45:34 AM
If you put the key in a bank safety deposit box...then maybe as long as the Executor of the Will isn't crooked or doesn't also have access to the wallet..... Shocked

I think that it is good to give it or to keep it to a relative that you will definitely know like your parents, siblings or childrens. Bitcoin is a big thing today. We might not know what will gonna happen to it in the next few months or years but I think bitcoin will gonna be a big deal. If you die today and you don't tell anyone about your savings and private keys, it will be forever lost and will not gonna be retrieved eventhough your family filed something becuase it is risky to keep it and you need to have a secure wallet. So for me it ia good to have some of your family know about your bitcoin savings and private keys.
1444  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do ordinary people feel afraid of Bitcoin? on: February 24, 2021, 10:17:29 AM
Really Conventional individuals as it were fear approximately the modern things.Most of scams existing online as A result numerous fake things are here to require our cash. Particularly in online, we are constrained to confront a tremendous things with fake philosophy. Most of the things attempt to trick our cash at anycost. So we ought to be mindful almost the fake one. Indeed numerous trades are fake one to take our cash. We ought to dodge trick projects,scam coins and scam exchanges.Doing proper research and just invest and trade with real coins like Bitcoin.

This conventional individuals can also be a bunch of close-minded people and that is one reason they are not aboard something that is new. Close-minded individuals will keep looking for ways to badmouth or discriminate something made for the greater good. I believe that they can only change their mind when a close person within their circle of friends or even family teaches them on how beneficial Cryptocurrencies can be and people should just try to see things with an open perspective.

Actually not all people are close-minded, its just they are those people who doesn't really understand how bitcoin works. Okay, they just heard of it yet they don't know other meaning or how works about bitcoin. These people aren't started to realize how bitcoin is a big deal to us and how this coin helps us to earn and make profits. Ordinary people are always gonna find some things in order to make profit and earn money and eventually they will realize that bitcoin is one of the big deal and will start to learn. they are not scared but they are lack of knowledge and background about bitcoin.
1445  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Had you sold your Bitcoins ? on: February 24, 2021, 06:23:06 AM
if I had bitcoin I would sell it now a lot of people have regretted selling bitcoin in 2018 they didn't think bitcoin would go up drastically and lucky for those who hold bitcoin in their wallet this is the result of your great patience. You are very lucky.

We actually don't have any idea that bitcoin will just jump to it's all time high this year. We end up regretting our decision of not investing in bitcoin way back  but of course we must not be that so devastated because of the regrets but we must learn this time that we sometimes need to take risks in order for us to earn and make profit. Moreover here in cryptocurrency like bitcoin, because we all know how this things are risky. Yes indeed, the user are very lucky to have bitcoin savings and did able to sell it for a higher price this day yet can also look it into the bright side and be this situation or experience example that taking risk is worth it.
1446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Gambling Weekly on: February 23, 2021, 09:49:46 AM
Not really, although gambling looks popular but in fact not everyone really likes gambling and even though they talk about gambling, they are not really gambling or just gambling in their own circle. So I think bitcoin is not just about gambling and this looks big because we are at least active in bitcoin gambling every week, so we assume bitcoin will get bigger as the world of gambling develops.

No one forces anyone to play gambling. It is our own free will to play and to take the risk, luck and earn profit by means of gambling. Yes. I believe that many people actually avoiding gambling because of the fact that they are not into it or they have something or other ways to earn money and make some profits. I, personally didn't active weekly in gambling because of the incident that I experienced last time. I didn't able to control myself and I end up loosing all of my funds yet that was a lesson for me that I need to be more careful next time and learn to control myself in every situation. Bitcoin is one of the most gamble coin right now, and I think and agree that we must know what truly it is and how gambling works.
1447  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ongoing Price Correction on: February 23, 2021, 06:12:42 AM
No one knows what will happen. More likely price will correct but at the same time, we have to remember that recent days showed that people like Elon Musk has a huge influence over Bitcoin's price and not only on Bitcoin. What if Elon will come with some crazy Twitter announcement?
But current situation is very risky for trading as it's harder to predict the future. There were crazy price movements today, even after your post price went up to 53K. And exchanges do the shit thing too, for example, Binance servers suspend, you are becoming unable to trade, etc.

I thino and I believe this price correction will somehow manage to bounce back. A lot of traders and investors lost because of the massive dumps of coins. I think that it is definitely a big thing for all of us, I personally is one of the affected here. I think it is not possible to recover the lost but I believe to those who are most strategic and knows how to read chart. I think in that case we all know that we must be aware of this kind of phenomenon. If Elon Musk however make a crazy tweet, I will definitely TP in that scenario.
1448  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Elon Musk looking to buy more Bitcoin ? on: February 23, 2021, 12:23:25 AM
Who cares if he is purchasing more coins, i read somewhere that he already gained a profit of one billion with his investment in a short period and it is possible that he might invest again. There is no point in giving too much attention to his troll tweets and if anyone thinks that his tweets have the influence to sway the market then they will invest and eventually end up in a loss if your sole interest is to jump during the hype.

As we look into it, Elon Musk doesn't have any effect on him because we all know that he is the top and most rich person in the world. A simple billion is a simple and normal gain for him. But his actions about cryptocurrency does affect the market and the investment of other persons. We can say that Elon Musk have some agenda but it dodn't clear for us to know what is it. The hype that Elon are making is one od the reason why many people earn in different coin, recently about the Doge and about the fact that he bought a very large amount of bitcoin. I think somehow it is good for traders and it is opportunity to make profit.
1449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: February 22, 2021, 04:20:22 PM
Why would he think it's low for him? this is his biggest offer thus far in his career so he doesn't need to think twice, plus, this is not an ordinary fight for him, he is fighting a legendary, so he should be proud of it. I think if Manny will offer the same to Spence, this will be an easy negotiation.
That's an if.

Yes, we're talking about this match as with one of the best in the sport of boxing. But we don't know what's on his mind, right.

He's the one being offered so if it's a yes for him, that's good but if it's a no for him, he lost the opportunity.

I hope he sees this as an opportunity, if he will declined this fight, this should be due to Arum's decision, Crawford would always want to fight Manny, and the time has come so there's no reason not to accept this. In terms of money, well, he will make $10M but Manny will get $40M, that's 20%-80% , but that's alright, he should not expect a 50/50 because it's Manny who will attract the crowd to watch the fight.

Manny have been in the league for a long time. I think and I agree with you that he might get 80% of the money in the fight. I guess this offer will somehow isn't so good because in any situation Manny will still be a winner. We all know that Pacman started his career when he was in his young age and up until now, even if he is a senator in the Philippines, still accepting some matches in the ring. I do think this match will be a very good but I guess and I realize unfair in terms of the money collected. But that is Pacquiao, he has a lot of supporters all over the world, not just in the Philippines.
1450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: OMG !!!!! You BitCoin people were right. I wish I had bought back in March :( on: February 22, 2021, 12:14:52 PM
Does it mean that you are not expecting a correction one year from now. I do not think that the market will keep on pumping till the end of this year. The price might cross $100,000 and then we can expect a major correction until next time which may be 4 years from now and i have already booked my profit am i might sell off everything when the correction starts to get back in the game once again rather than holding if there is a major correction.

50K was supposed to be a major correction level, but Bitcoin breached that level with relative ease. Now I don't expect any major resistance to appear before 100K. With supply of fresh coins drying up and institutional investment picking pace, we can expect the prices to reach the vicinity of 100K by the end of this year. But the risk factors remain. Any hostile action from the SEC or the FinCen will be having a huge negative impact on the prices.

Bitcoin is so volatile. We don't know the exact time when will get to reach the 100k but I think and I agree that it'll be this year. Bitcoin can be so dangerous because of its unstable value or being decentralized. Right now, the market has somw big dump happening and I think that is the right time to buy bitcoin or other coins. Don't be so regretful, we all know that we didn't sure about the future and we are clueless. We are so shocked that ot reaches above 50k right now. If you feel to have a instinct to be good to invest right now, go for it. Take the risk of cryprocurrency, and all things will bears in the future.
1451  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: the power of HOLD and believe on: February 22, 2021, 10:31:11 AM
I don't think that a lot of people earned that huge amount of interest with bitcoin, imagine if you bought bitcoin at its value of $3000 then I think they would sell it right away once it already reached $15000, I don't think that they could wait for bitcoin to reach $50000 before they sell their bitcoin. Those fortunate persons or those who earned huge income from their work or business could hold bitcoin for a long term but those who don't have a stable job or good earnings from their real-life work would be hard for them to still wait for a huge peak for bitcoin.

No. I think it is just a matter of believe. People hold because they believe that it would be most good and profitable that  to buy early. And it's okay also to sell if you are willing to take profit. Profit is profit. Every person, also me will definitely take profit moreover if I urgently needed some money and might be the one who can help me. Many people decided to take the idea of hold not because they are fortunate but because they have some advantages but they didn't mean all of it. We lived differently and we can of the time always to sell, buy or hold our coin. Just believe in your instincts.
1452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you rely on the odds when placing bets? on: February 22, 2021, 07:47:08 AM
The odd can be manipulative sometimes but it not primarily happens by the bookmaker cause some bookmaker buys or emulate the odds provided by some site. However, odds usually depend on the hype of the sporting event and the previous winning stance of each opponent.
Well I mean, odds are in the end manipulated based on the results and past histories of the teams, so it isn't exactly right to say it is "biased". Yes, hype is also a factor to take into account, but most hype is actually a result of the results of the past matches that the said team has. The sample is Team X had an insane run last year, most people would start rooting for them for the next year right? It isn't biased, but rather just the result of the teams showing results based on their past matches.

Yes. I definitely agree to this user. The idea of the person is always survey the situation, the last results and past matches. They will always pick who are in the top right? Humain instinct. We always believe that team or simply bets that is won in the past results are likely to wpn again because it will be a good image. I think it is not biased since it is always depend on the players instinct and decision where he would place his bets. But for me, also odds are one to look at. Because people always believe in their instincts I guess. Odds are a big factor.
1453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Thailand government seeks measures to tackle the problems of illegal gambling. on: February 22, 2021, 02:04:56 AM
In my country, illegal gambling, prostitution, child trafficking, drug abuse quite possibly graft and corruption are all played by the same hands within the same syndicate groups. Thailand government should spend more time and money in acquiring intelligence which may lead them to the roots of the problem like what my country did, otherwise you can't expect it to be fixed.

It is not a surprise if all of that things control the syndicate groups because that business earns them bigger money. That is happening in many countries, not just in your country. But it is difficult to search for the roots of the problem, as many people who use that illegal gambling site will not tell the presence of the place if they do not get caught by the raid.

It is probably the intuition of the illegal gamblers by not to tell the truth of course because it will use it against them. It is so sad to think of the fact that many people are started to get into illegal gambling just because they are not contented to the earnings or  profit they made in just simply playing simple and legal gambling yet many people always thought of the greed of having a large amount of earnings. We all know that our government are actually aware of it but rather not to focus on it because at some point they are also part of it sometimes because they can gain a lot of money there. It is my opinion and thinking.
1454  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Something to consider when selling your BTC... on: February 21, 2021, 03:18:05 PM
Some of the bitcoin holders were on a panic selling because bitcoin is getting more and more higher value than we expect from previous years of its existence. Those who have their own bitcoin on their wallet should spend wisely from time to time so that they can still use bitcoin in the future with a great amount since the last BTC will be mined in 2140.

ive been selling into this latest bull run, many of us have and do sell on these bull runs.. and with no intention of trying to buy back lower although it happens sometimes. dont ever forget to pull some profit when the good times are rolling.

its a balancing game, long term btc vs fiat for near term. just be aware you most certainly will have another bear season. dont get stuck selling btc at a horrible price if something unexpected is needed and you need to pull from your reserve stack.

personally however i think this party is just getting started.

Actually it is the idea of the trading we need to consider in selling our bitcoin because we all know that all of us are working because we need to earn money or make profits for our daily needs. I think as this user stated and you will also hear this idea of selling in others. They all sold their bitcoin in the highest price like in the all time high as much as possible because in that case, they can earn a lot more bigger than their expected income or value of their bitcoin. And sometimes there are instances that when they sold their part is that it will continue to raise the price and they will have some regrets, right? But for me, I can say that it is okay because profit is profit and many people have difficulties in earning profits and we all know that we are all lucky that we have some bitcoin.
1455  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's the chances like that someone recovery seeds into someone else' account? on: February 21, 2021, 11:10:59 AM
It is not about it being "12 words" but about what those words represent.
In BIP39 scheme those words each represent 11 bits of entropy with the last one also having a checksum. That means when you have 12 words you actually have a 128 bit entropy with 128 bit security. Your private keys which are 256 bit numbers also have 128 bit security.
In Electrum those 12 words represent a slightly higher entropy size of 132 bits.

So the answer is the chances are the same as guessing someone else's private key.

However if those words represented something else, such as a brainwallet where user selects words randomly on their own then the security would have been very different and much weaker.

I agree. The chances are very low to have the same recovery seed phrase for others because as we all know there are a lot of words in our books right now and I think the probability of guessing the seed phrase is very low. And I've heard nothing news about it and I think the possibility is definitely very impossible. This kind of security for me is a very good one because it can gives us enough secure and dafe funds as long as we do not have some copies that might leak to someone else because in that situation it will definitely can access by others and can change your password that might lead to lost of assests and funds.
1456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: February 21, 2021, 08:42:47 AM
Memphis Grizzlies vs Phoenix Suns -3.5 Both this team came from a big win. Will definitely be entertaining.

I like this one a lot, Grizzlies will be without two starters (Dillon Brooks, Kyle Anderson) and two key bench players (Grayson Allen, Brandon Clarke) [source], hell even the ml @1.38 (maybe parlayed with POR ml) looks great too. I might actually put something on this before the game.
And it became a blowout game. The Suns just overwhelmed the Grizzlies in 3 pointers. 5/33 vs 24/46.
CP3 and Booker got a good rest with just 20+ minutes of playtime.

The Lakers lose against the Heat. Caruso devastated that his last shot didn't go in.
He got a good space and the stroke., just bad luck.
Good defense by the Heat doubling Lebron forcing him to pass the ball.
Congratulations to the winners.


I also watched the Lakers and Heats game. I also look into Alex Caruso after he didn't make the shot and I think also that he is devastated and dissapointed but I think it is okay since he did his best ang gives the 100% effoert to make that shot. Clutch shots are onw of the most nervous experience in the league. And I think he got nervous. Lakers is one of my rooted team I wanted to see in the finals. I think they will still reach the finals yet I think there are many competitive teams that might make them or their league road a very rough journey. But who knows, Lebron might have some new plays and idea to defeat any teams that have some new superstars.
1457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take team's cohesion into account when betting? on: February 21, 2021, 02:10:31 AM
This is a just a TV show it's scripted, if the team has no talent even if you give them the best encouraging words that they've heard in their life, they are not going to turn into a champion team, talent is mold for many years and it's not only words, all the team has high morale while playing but talented and team effort wins the game.

You may be right here but I have seen some underdog teams changing the games after intervals during half time. Don't you think that they were motivated enough that they get great energy out of it and if every single player decides to play for the team instead of looking for their personal benefits, that energy works as a teamforce and makes that underdog team win?

Sometimes we see their player change during half-time after breaks. The coaches should know how to use the team's power because that is what they need to win or beat the opponent. When every player knows that they are in one team and needs to unify energy to play better than the last, they will realize that it is their team and need to play for the team.

If a gambler knows how to analyze this, he can have a chance to select the better team which matches in that game. It is not just how we can analyze the team, the players, but we can also look at the other things that can be as additional information to us to select the right team.

Changing player is not an issue. Because in a team example in Basketball, a coach knows how to handle things and what strategy they are going to use. Like, a mind of a coach is always working even in a current play, and it will of a play depends on how he see the other players while playing. In gambling, I also realize that a simple bet can make the next future bet differently, two options, you won or you lose. But in a certain group, taking team's cohesion is a very helpful way in order for you and your groupmates to have a united and simple decision and team goal in playing gambling.
1458  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dont stay in crypto too long on: February 20, 2021, 06:52:41 PM
I strongly doubt that Bitcoin will be run by governments. This simply cannot happen. They may impose some restrictions and regulations on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but are unlikely to govern them.

We could argue that controlling mining means controlling Bitcoin, just as buying out the supply (which governments can do because they have an unlimited supply of money) can lead to taking control, but that will never happen. The country that would spend all their fiat money to buy Bitcoin would in result hyperinflate its fiat currency and multiply its debt. It could be an interesting experiment to watch, just to see what would happen, but if I were the president I'd never risk it. They'd all think I'm insane and impeach me.

Bitcoin is a decentralized coin in the market which mean it doesn't control by anybody or anything. Bitcoin might be one of the best investment as of today but I think and I agree that it is a very risky thing to invest into because as we all know bitcoin started from scratch and Satoshi made it so famous and got into the top where it was right now. Its value might be pumped right now achieving multiple all time high but I gues the idea of don't stay in crypto is a very notable reminder because of the risk and things that may happen in the future.
1459  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin hit 1 trillion dollars marketcap on: February 20, 2021, 01:16:44 PM
This is a great milestone of bitcoin I hope wherever Satoshi Nakamoto right now, I hope he is very happy and contended now, with this amount of bitcoin I am sure that bitcoin will be soon be adapted by banks and hope that government will not restrict nor regulate it and put too much taxes on it, more and more scammers will use this card to scam and deceive people to get their money.

Bitcoin have been through a lot of struggles. I think bitcoin gain its new progress each and everyday because we all know that all of this are deserved. It is exciting that bitcoin reached a good and very interesting price as of today. I wonder what are the most surprising progress bitcoin might be in the next few days or weeks or months. I guess, this is just only a beginning and there is something out there coming big and very exciting. It is a long road for bitcoin. Be sure to be safe and secure about your investment and I agree about the warning about the scammer. Many people are definitely going to be carried by their greediness and might do something unnecessary to others.
1460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: February 20, 2021, 09:55:06 AM
We should really start saving right now.

It should've been months earlier but we need to work on what we can and what we have right now. There are a lot of interests happening with Bitcoin right now and that would also mean that we will be seeing a lot of price pumps in the near future. If we will not be saving right now, we might regret it in the long run. I should really stop gambling. my .009 is back to .007

You are correct. Gambling was good until the recent price surge took bitcoin to greater heights. Currently standing at $56000 bitcoin has become too expensive to gamble.
We can gamble with other altcoins though which would mean the same thing but gambling with bitcoin and then losing it turns out to be a mood off for me these days.
I have took a temporary break from gambling or may be until the volatility in the market stabilizes a little. Until then it would be better to save the precious bitcoins for the longer run  Grin

This was a good move since you've said that bitcoin took the surges to heights. The bitcoin price is good in a way that you will somehow do trading and futures yet, it is somehow not tolerable if you're transferring some assets or like making transactions because the gas fees are way to high than the normal one.  Gambling is one of the best and very good example of fast profit earning way yet it was also affected by the BTC Price right now. I think it is quite tolerable to gamble yet always gamble and mind always the risk of playing. The BTC price is good but it is volatile and can change minute to minute. Anyways, I still gamble today using my forum earnings but I always alloted some of it in other things like, savings, trading and things I want to buy.
