201  Economy / Economics / Re: Europe is against Libra. Who else? on: October 06, 2019, 02:46:59 PM
Facebook initiated Libra has been in controversies since the day of the announcement. Their promise of giving banks to unbanked and providing an alternate payment system to the world didn't go very well with the authorities globally. Leading to which, now Paypal has withdrawn its involvement from the project. Though Libra association is going to have a meeting the coming week regarding the steps to be taken forward. Let's see what that yields.
202  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Smart hodling vs just hodling on: October 06, 2019, 11:34:44 AM
       Crypto is such unpredictable space that only hodling for long term like other investment asset isn't really a good investment strategy. Keeping stop losses, regular market watch and changing the position is needed in regular interval because price change is pretty significant once the trends starts and this you can't afford to overlook. If you didn't exit BTC during highs of 2017-18, that wasn't a smart decision whether you were in for short or long term. There was enough hype to make you cautious of the rising prices.
       One needs to understand regular check is important even if you are long in cryptos because there is no monitoring authority and high volatility which can ruin your investment if not taken care.
203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin mixers be considered illegal by worldwide governments? on: October 05, 2019, 09:54:58 AM
The main concern of government when it comes to cryptos is the anonymity. They suspect that this will lead to illegal activities. So most of the countries are banning untraceable currencies like Monero and now the focus has shifted towards the mixing services too. Sooner or later, such regulations had to come. As the crypto trading volume has increased, government has started taking actions.
204  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: waiting for altcoin season might take time on: October 05, 2019, 09:31:02 AM
If you are waiting for an altcoin season like that of the last quarter of 2017, then that could be far fetched. But in short time frame, if BTC keeps hovering between $8000-$8300, then altcoins might see some gains. The reason behind this is that the panic sentiment has increased when it comes to BTC. So, there might be a shift towards altcoins which has suffered a lot lately and thus, give better opportunities in terms of gains. But if bitcoin falls bello 8k, then there will be more in altcoins too.
205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: October 03, 2019, 05:30:11 PM
Leicester are quite a good team, Liverpool will be in trouble if they play like they did against Salzburg. Brendan Rodgers is a decent manager & if Liverpool aren’t on point they could drop their first points of the season.
since Leicester won the EPL they became a strong team that made it difficult for the big EPL teams, it is not impossible this season they are in the top 4 this season.

I don't think that they became stronger after winning the EPL.
Actually, some of the key players that won the EPL left the club and signed for other English team. Some examples are Kante, Danny Drinkwater and Mahrez.
They are just building some new which seems to be strong.
Leicester is a strong top 10 team which can break into top 6 given United and Arsenal are not performing well. Leicester with Rogers is a very good attacking side and knows how to keep the ball and not just counter attack. They can definitely be in the race for top 6 this season with their current squad.
206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: DID I MAKE A MISTAKE INVESTING IN BITCOIN? on: October 03, 2019, 07:01:48 AM
Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. It’s still a very young, raw asset. Most of us OG’s have made huge profits but it wasn’t quick. With extreme patience & the power of HODLING comes big rewards.

If you bought today for example & HODL for 18 months it could be the best thing you ever do.

Just don’t expect to buy today & get rich overnight, it doesn’t happen. People with zero patience who’ve read about getting rich quick with bitcoin shouldn’t bother if they haven’t got the balls to HODL through tough times. Nothing good in life ever comes easily.

Most of the people that doesn't have patient and wanted to get rich real quick is the kind of people that are scammers prey. Those kind of people believe in anything as long as it is about making easy money, doubling up their money and so on, and this is the mistake that you OP want to avoid at all cost. Investing in bitcoin is a real deal but be patient enough and trust bitcoin's capability to give you profits.
TBH with such a high volatility, crypto can earn you huge profits if trading is done wisely. Similarly, the high volatility and uncertainity can lead to huge losses. Most of the new traders usually jump in crypto for making easy money because cryptos are being portrayed like this globally. The problem isn't crypto or its volatility. Problem is with the people who know nothing about trading but still jump in. Making money is easy in crypto but for that knowledge is the key which people usually overlook.
207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2019/20 on: October 01, 2019, 05:00:29 PM
Real Madrid Academy which I think is good one of which is Alvaro Morata.

Zidane always provides opportunities for young players from his academy to be able to play with the first team. This is done to take advantage of the talents of these young players and minimize expenses to buy players. In contrast now with Barcelona, which used to use services from academia, now instead buy great players directly.
but they still fill the bench, it is very difficult for players from the academy to be able to play as the main squad. We know that in Real Madrid squad all players have very high transfer prices. if it's not played then it's like wasting what you bought.
looks weird but maybe that's also one of the reasons young players from club academies find it difficult to get a place.
I think that real madrid has buckled up after a pathetic last season. I think they will at least make an impact this year with zidane and bale making up and benzema on fire as the top scorer right now and hazard finally holding his ground. Although the first leg against PSG was a disaster with the best defenders in place and madrid still losing shamefully. What do you guys think?
208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price struggling on: October 01, 2019, 03:30:57 PM
ETH has broke the resistance of $17 which is a good sign giving the market condition. There might be some resistance at moving averages but if it successfully breaches it, price might go to $200+. Traders can enter the trade here with a stop loss at $160. But if the ETH goes down at this point, price can correct till $122. But right now, that is rare a chance provided BTC doesn't slump from here.
209  Economy / Speculation / Re: HODL'ers lose. That is no surprise on: October 01, 2019, 09:22:01 AM
There are different investment strategies. Some people prefer day trading, some short term and some mid to long term. People who don't have any present liability and are ready for taking risk of long term hold can any day go for long term hodl in crypto. If you remove the 2017-2018 high and then look at the bitcoin price chart, you will notice that the long term chart is rather bullish only. Yeah I agree that people should have taken profit at ATH and entered later. But still anyone who invested before December 2017, must be in profits only.
I know many people who have made loss by short term trade. Therefore, no strategy is good or bad, it depends upon more on the amount of risk you're looking for and risk you're willing to take.
210  Other / Archival / Re: Is KYC benefit to crypto people or not on: September 30, 2019, 01:41:00 PM
It depends upon how you perceive it.
People consider crypto as a decentralized and anonymous currency and if you bring a third party which is government or any other central authority for keeping a check by putting in KYC, many can have apprehensions. But at the same time it provides the required security in case of defaults by exchanges which is in one way increases the faith of people in the system.
211  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Developments Can Put Bitcoin Upwards Again? on: September 30, 2019, 01:17:07 PM
Development! I doubt anything needs to be done in terms of development.

The halving next year will definitely bring a surge in price if history repeats itself. Halving is a big event in Bitcoin's ecosystem. More natural growth and new investors can bring an organic price surge.
212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: September 29, 2019, 09:10:26 PM
so Barcelona should pay attention to the defense area and I think it will help them to return UCL trophy to their ShowCase.They need to do well in away matches too.

If talking about returning the UCL trophy to Barcelona, it seems less convincing for this season. You are right, their defense must be rethought and unfortunately their defense is not heeded or they are always convinced, CB is now able to deal with defense problems. Actually this is a fact, that Barcelona are always strong in the front line and inversely proportional to their back line.

It is too soon to say anything. Even in 2018-19 season, Barcelona had rough start in defence with Umtiti getting injured and Lenglet getting red card in his first game. Pique was making huge mistakes and cost 4 points to Barcelona. But as season progressed, defensive duties turned better and Barcelona had pretty fine last season except Liverpool disappointment.
Similarly, I feel defensive crisis will soon get over this season too. In one or two months, Umtiti will be ready. Also, rumours are out there that Barcelona is planning to sign Rugani in winter window. So they will have quite number of choices in defence by the start of next year when important matches will be played.
I still think Liverpool has the best chance to win the champions league this season along with Juventus and Barcelona. But I think Liverpool is still a step ahead in terms of team chemistry and general play. Group stage is very crucial for Liverpool though as they always struggle to get through. Juventus has a tough group and Barcelona still has defensive issues. The group stage is very crucial and December might give a better picture for the knockouts.
213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: September 29, 2019, 08:42:34 PM

He is great with submission moves, but not as good as Khabib
No one can be Khabib as he is a master in combat Sambo, black belt in Judo and a master in Pankration, i wonder what he can do to others if he masters BJJ too Shocked.

Well, I consider him as the best that is why I am not the biggest fan out there I consider my self as just a fan of his technique and the beautiful performance he is showing inside the ring is superb I am really amazed by his performance and submission lockdown, If he would master another art then its probably  no one can ever beat him head-on.


I think everyones mission in UFC and whole MMA world is to find a fighter that can beat Khabib Nurmagomedov.
He is strong as a rock, and I don't think this mission will be easy, but in time people will find his weakness and exploit it, or Khabib will maybe retire before that Smiley

Maybe he would just retire and no one would put a dent to his 28 wins and still counting, Well, every Khabib match will surely take my eyes on to it that's for sure.
I think GSP would be a really good matchup for Khabib but the weight at which the fight would take place is debatable as 170 might favour GSP while 155 would be a very tough weight cut for GSP and favourable for khabib. But no doubt toughest style matchup for Khabib.
214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Curious Case of Bullrun on: September 29, 2019, 05:41:29 PM
I am curious and i need answers, the last bitcoin halving happened in 2016 and a year later bitcoin bullrun follows, in that year many believes that ICO HYPE was responsible for the bullrun and others belief it did a big a part so my question now is what do you guys think will drive the next bullrun season?
Next would be inflow of money from institutional investors where they will regard crypto as a alternate form of investment. This will surely gonna create a hype around the globe. Plus the next halving scheduled in next year gonna bring in the pump as well. Many analyst have predicted that next halving could kick the price above $50k. So yeah, I am pretty much bullish about the next year.
215  Economy / Speculation / Re: Down below $9k! Buy the dip now? on: September 29, 2019, 10:23:11 AM
According to Fibonacci pattern, the recent retracement to 0.786 and then a jump back to $8k indicates that the market has enough volume as of now to sustain the price above $8k. But we need to wait at least for a week to check whether the bears have been exhausted or not. There might be another wave of correction in a few days. Price might retrace to 0.618 level too. There is a decent probability to that.
216  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold exist 1000+ years. while bitcoins exist 10 years. on: September 29, 2019, 05:14:55 AM
Gold exist for over a 1000+ years maybe? Bitcoin only 10 years. Also the internet existed about 25+ years. Bitcoin price is higher than gold by over 200%. I think the value of Bitcoin is going to sky rocket once again. When technology gets more advance n the Bitcoin system upgrades. Just another speculation.
You can't compare the value of bitcoin to that of gold.
Price depends upon supply and demand. Gold is might be limited but not to the level of Bitcoin. There are only 21 million Bitcoin which means it has inbuilt deflation and it will remain the same and hence, the price growth.
Added to that BTC is also a currency which enables real-time fund transfer. Gold has on the other hand, has totally different use case. They are not comparable at all.
Regarding Bitcoin price sky rocketing, it is still in its infancy stage. There's a lot of potential still lying.
217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Suddenly disappearing token on: April 22, 2019, 03:07:56 PM
Have you discovered some token were disappearing within the market at this period. Such as Bitboost just suddenly disappeared away from market without prior awareness. Should that be? Is that not a cheat?
I think you have misused the term "disappear" here because a coin or token never get disappeared from the market but only get delisted from the exchange due to no demand and regular fall in volume of the coin. The token is not active in the market that's why but it can still be traded if demand rise again.
218  Economy / Economics / Re: Undervalued Bitcoin Will Be a ‘Multi-Trillion Dollar Asset Class,’ Says Analyst on: April 22, 2019, 03:03:54 PM
Very well said by the great analyst. Although bitcoin is undervalued crypto at this time but slowly due to mass adoption, huge investment, regulations the prices will surely go up in coming years and btc will become trillion dollars market. So i am hodling my coins until that period to get huge returns for my hard work. The prices have once again starting to rise and soon bull run is ready to hit the market.
219  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy every dip! on: April 22, 2019, 02:59:35 PM
You have no other option. I joke about the whalecumulators, but what else can we plebs do? Buy the dip, and HODL! You do not want to end up empty handed on the next cycle, https://twitter.com/misir_mahmudov/status/1118243131584065537

It's a good option to buy at dips and sell at high prices to gain profits but it's not easy to determine the actual price drop to certain extent. So i buy when i can afford to buy but at lower rates and then hodl it for long term to get huge returns.
220  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 95% fake volume :) on: April 22, 2019, 02:56:13 PM
The government should regulate the exchanges that shows fake volume to deceive the traders and generate income from the false means.There were many exchanges which were shut down in China due to same reason.There are some exchanges which works in proper manner and some don't.
