1241  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New article published on the history of this forum on: May 17, 2023, 11:54:09 PM
According to the article:

Quote
At some point in 2011, the forum, complete with all the users and posts, was transferred over to a new dedicated domain, Bitcointalk.org. This new domain was registered on 24 June 2011. The domain is also owned by Cobra. “Theymos”, whose real name is Michael Marquart, quickly emerged as the lead administrator of the Bitcoin Forum.

And this is the story of how Theymos become the admin of this community, also there is a fun-fact that he shared in this post:

The story of how I became head admin is actually pretty boring. Moderators were needed, so I was made a global moderator. Then admins were needed, so I was made an admin. Then over time the other admins slowly lost interest and resigned until I was the only one left. I guess most of the people who were around here to see this have more-or-less left the community now. That's a bit sad.

It's not entirely clear, but for simplicity I usually say that I became head admin at the beginning of 2011, a little over a year after the forum was created.

The forum was originally located at bitcoin.org/smf, then forum.bitcoin.org (hence the redirect), and finally bitcointalk.org. Fun fact: The name "bitcointalk" was invented by Jeff Garzik, and he's the one who bought the domain.

It would be cool if the author has included this information,  Grin

So I just rolled the money that I won with my Nuggets beat, it was just ML though, so it's not a big win, at 1.4x but I will take it. But my strategy is to just roll it with the Boston Celtics beat at -7.5 against the Heat game 1 in their series.

I agree with @ morvillz7z, it's a hard read games that involved Miami Heat, someone they will just show themselves whether in road or home games. But I think the Celtics has the advantage in this game 1 and probably just like the Nuggets, will feed from the energy of the home crowd to take a good lead and then hold on for maybe a double digit winning.

So best of luck, just one hour to go before game 1.

I am looking to start my Bitcoin journey from somewhere that would be of advantage to me as the economic situation in my country bears down hard and with having family to Carter for, it is rather exhausting.
Without much physical mentors with real life experiences except for YouTube and this forum where I feel I can ask good questions and be answered well, am asking, which is the more lucrative endeavour for a newbie hoping to benefit from cryptocurrency at first between Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin trading?  

Are there other Bitcoin endeavours one could be interested and invested in, other than trading and mining?

None, as a newbie you should stay away from mining, (solo mining) as this is not suitable anymore as it will cost you huge money. Trading? yeah it might be good but if you don't have the experience then you could lost money as well in the beginning.

The best thing for a newbie is just simply accumulate bitcoin thru DCA.

Hindi ka nag iisa sa Jili slot na yan, hahahaha, hindi na nga ako lumalabas para maglaro sa paborito kong land base casinos at gabi gabi pede na sa mobile phone at pwede ka ring tumaya sa NBA eh.  Grin


@bisdak40 - nadale rin ako ng ganyan may $100 worth ako ng USDT pero hindi ma transfer kasi kelangan ng TRX kaya nag convert pa ako ng al least $10, so ang laki na yun para maka pag transact lang ako, although magagamit ko pa naman to sa susunod na transaction ko without worrying na wala na akong pondo.

Both look great, so we should be expecting a close fight, lots of fans in attendance. Good interview and overall good marketing ploy for Top Rank and maybe they still want to attract as much as casual boxing fans to bring in the money this weekend.

So for sure, everyone is excited, I haven't put my bet yet, but a Loma bet is surely very attractive ML or by decision win or by knockout or technical knockout.
1246  Economy / Speculation / Re: What about the little increase? on: May 16, 2023, 11:09:42 PM
Do you see the recent increase bitcoin has come up with. I believe this is good sign that bitcoin will pump this year, we are still in the third month, looking at the middle of the year, something will surely bulls up. When I open my wallet I was surprise of the price from $23000 to $26000 that's cool for those who buys recently.

What did you think about the price? Will it pump soon
believe me it will pump soon, bitcoin is now 26k$,i think nor too far from today it will be back to 30k$ or more i am also waiting for the bull season because of my altcoins holding because i believe when bull market begin altcouns will also follow to bull season and we will see profit from our holdings bitcoin has a good start this year so maybe we will saw a good end.
For Bitcoin to return its previous 30,000$ price range, the transactions' fees have to decrease again. By there I believe it will remain on a "standby" mode just waiting for the best opportunity to rise again. The price can still fall a little bit more, but I don't think we are going too far from the currently scenario. Bitcoin has been becoming more stable along the years. Volatility seen on past cycles isn't the same anymore. Gradually it's getting more stable as adoption increases.

I don't know, but I don't think that we will go back to normal, unless ordinals are going to be stop right away and won't be allowed to pay that high fee or spam the network. So it's either for us to adapt and grow and take the fees right now as not significant or not going to impact our investment. The fees though as somewhat in the 20 sat/vB right, still very expensive for the majority of us, but at least it has been minimize and no longer exorbitant fees of like 200 sat/vB or higher.

Price will continue to trade sideways for this month, perhaps another best time to accumulate if the price hinges down to $25k. As I was saying previously. we need this kind of corrections, healthy one so that there could be investors to enter at the current price and push it to $30k again.
1247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 16, 2023, 10:54:09 PM
And I do agree that Kevin Love's acquisition is now paying off this playoff. Kevin is also a veteran now and you can see his ability to read the defense and that outlet pass, still Kevin's strength despite his age. So the Celtics shouldn't sleep against the Heat, because by the time they wake up, they might be down 3-1 and it's hard to comeback.

Kevin really had a couple of good performances in the first round against the Bucks, but his performance in the second round against the Knicks was pretty weak. Nevertheless, I guess Kevin still has enough energy and skills to be useful on the court. I mean, he should be more active, especially in the paint.
By the way, Kevin is only 34 years old, so he's not that old.

Even when his on court play isn't seller his presence alone gives the pickup merit.  You can't have all young guys with no experience.  It takes a lot to win in the playoffs.  It's a much different game than the regular season and guys like Kevin can keep his team in check.  I liked the pickup when they got him under the radar for sure.

And it was just about right, the timing is perfect for Coach Spo to used Kevin Love in this playoff because he is really shining in this playoff, not the tangibles though like points or rebounds, but I think his guidance as well is very much appreciated by their young core teams. And make no mistakes about him, he can still deliver points if needed, but usually that task is given to Jimmy Butler and others. They just need to have Kevin in the floor, his presence is enough for the team to win close games or even blow their opponent early and never give them the chance. So congrats to coach Spo for making the right adjustment since game 1 against the Bucks and it's working as of this time.

Yeah, Nuggets vs Lakers in about one hour, I have the Nuggets winning game 1 though.

First time to try a fiat based gambling platform using mobile phone so this will be interesting for me, just ML though, have difficulty navigating but again, I have more options to bet on the go now.  Grin
1248  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is something wrong with understanding Bitcoin on: May 16, 2023, 10:30:17 PM

Those who understand Bitcoin, including its volatility and choose to invest in Bitcoin, are very easy to panic about the price, even though Bitcoin has been proven to be a future investment choice. There must be something wrong with them.


I think it's a contradiction, those who understand Bitcoin should not panic about the price since they now how volatile it is. And for those who panic even though they know this, then it's a not a true investors at all.

Maybe for them they think that Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme, invested and then when they see the price going down, they quickly push the sell button. So for them to really have knowledge, for me, at least one full cycles (bear and bull), will be a good good experience for everyone and see if they can really withstand what Bitcoin investment it and how they are going to react for the ever changing market.

Quote
The central bank of the Philippines, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), has so far approved 16 cryptocurrency exchange service providers in total. The latest list of “Remittance and transfer companies (RTC) with virtual currency (VC) exchange services” shows four recently-approved cryptocurrency exchanges. They are Finchain Technology Inc., Iremit Inc., Moneybees Forex Corp., and Wibs PHP Inc.

The four join 12 existing crypto exchanges previously approved by the BSP: Aba Global Philippines (Coexstar), Atomtrans Tech, Betur (dba Coins.ph), Bexpress, Bloomsolutions (Bloomx), Coinville Phils, Etranss Remittance International, Fyntegrate (dba Philippine Digital Asset Exchange or PDAX), Rebittance (Rebit, Buybitcoin.ph), Telcoin, VHCEX, and Zybi Tech (dba Juancash). News.Bitcoin.com previously reported that there were 13 approved crypto exchanges in the Philippines. However, Bitan Moneytech has been delisted as of June 30 and is no longer on the above BSP-approved list.

They picked the wrong time Smiley

I Don't think so! Seized assets are usually sold in batches and it depends on the litigation attached to it. If the court has given a verdict then the government will try to sell the assets to recover the money. They are not HODLers so they won't pick a time based on the market movements.

Yes, it will bring an impact on us for sure who have been accumulating bitcoin to find a suitable time to sell. We may need to delay it further because the price is expected to drive downward due to this huge sell of. But that's it!

Right, they will not just simply dump it just because the litigation is down, not unless the court really gives them the order to sell it right away. Of course, it's better to sell those to recover some money from the seize Bitcoin, but they will have to find a suitable time to sell to at least get a good amount.

Not sure about the impact though, we don't hear news until the transaction has been done. But there could be some individuals following those addresses and then report it to the public. Whether their intention is bad (create FUD), or just simply wanting to let us know that the Bitcoin seized has been sold already, OTC or some other ways.
1251  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bear Market Reaches $27605 - Will the Downtrend Continue?" on: May 15, 2023, 11:15:32 PM
The current bear market is it going to be temporary or a long term? for my fellow investors out there, how are you managing during this downturn? are you still holding onto your assets or buying more?
The time span of this current bearish market will be determined by what triggered it in the first place which is the Bitcoin network congestion. From what I am seeing here the mempool is not looking good cause the number of unconfirmed transaction keep increasing every second and until the mempool calms down I expect the bearish trend to continue.

I think it is too early to talk about a bearish trend, because nothing bad has happened, just a simple correction. I don't know if mem pool can influence bitcoin price. Most likely, the price went down because of some negative news, like fake news about US government selling confiscated bitcoins. But as you can see now, the price has started to recover.

Technically though we are still in the bear market, the bull run will start after the block halving which is going to happen a year from now. Mempool can impact the price if it is clogged, the fees are high and so traders might stay away from it for the meantime or worst make a sell because they don't like what they are seeing, or maybe hedge it on stable coins to stop the bleeding.

That's already a given fact, if there is news specially coming for US government regarding Bitcoin or anything related to crypto that is very negative, we will see a slight drop. Nevertheless, we are back to $27k++ again, last 4-5 days we nosedive to 26k and fluctuating around that price. And at the start of the week, we have a good bounce already.

Error-bars and Training-&-Validation on the Bitcoin Generalized Stock-to-Flow (S2F-G) Model - which predicts $170K for the next (2024-28) cycle:

And when the model is invalidated again, you will compute new exponents and rename it to the Revised Generalized Stock-to-Flow (S2F-GR) Model.

Yeah, and we should already learn from the first modelling that we have, predicting the price is very difficult and as much as we factor everything we can think of to come up with another model, improved version of the first one, it is till going to be a hit or miss.

And I think we don't have complicate things, perhaps conservative prediction will be last all time high of $69,000 by 2.x.

Tatum with the highest scoring game 7 performance was something to witness. I think they’ll be able to take Miami and win the East.

Right, Tatum just peaked right about that the last 2 games against the Sixers. He has struggled in game 6 in the road, but he keeps on shooting until he got one and that's what he needed. After that he also take over game 6 and win the game for them. But on the other hand, game 7 was different at their homecourt, he didn't have a bad shooting night that he needs to overcome. Every time he had the ball you know that he is going to shot it, whoever is in front of him, including Joel Embiid.

I also saw the Suns got rid of their coach. I think it was him or Ayton at this point…

That's how it is though, Suns getting the best record a few seasons ago, Mike Budenholzer fired after giving the Bucks their championship.

Looking forward to some more playoff basketball tomorrow after a night off tonight. Hopefully the Lakers can beat Denver and repeat what happened in the bubble.

Nuggets though is the clear favorite going on game 1. Let's see how the Lakers will do, if they can steal one just like what they did on their series against the Warriors, taking game 1, it will be a big psychological victory for them.

Siyempre good news na to sa tin, hindi katulad ng mga nakaraang araw at sa tingin ko pababa pa to hanggang weekends so antay antay pa tayo at wag muna mag transact kung hindi talaga rush o kailangang kailangan.

1259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 09, 2023, 11:26:37 PM
I feel like the bet to make tonight is the Boston Celtics beating the Philadelphia 76ers to go along with the Denver Nuggets beating the Phoenix Suns. The short version, betting on the home teams. Longer version, Philadelphia has been playing too erratic and I don’t think they’ll be able to consistently win again, especially in Boston. As for the Suns, they seem to have pissed Denver off last game and I expect Denver to respond. I do hope the Suns win though.

Both home teams are the favorite in this game, so I wouldn't surprised if they will pull a big win here. Celtics will have the advantage though, I mean their bench is deep and if we see in this series, the way Sixers won, it's very close. So playing at home, I think we will see Celtics winning by double digit lead here.

For the Suns, gonna love the atmosphere though, Booker + Durant seems to be unstoppable in the last 2 games.

I think the Suns too are pissed off with the way Jokic push Mat Ishbia the owner of Phoenix Suns. So it's seem this is going to be personal for the Suns so expect a dog fight here. So I will risk +6.5 with the Suns.

@Asuspawer09 May tutorial dito: TUTORIAL: How to use Electrum (for advanced users).

Kailangan mong taasan ang fee, yun nga kasi nga grabe ang taas at parang walang katapusan tong pag spam sa mempool ngayon. Nasa 500 sat/vByte na ngayon kung gusto mo agad na confirmed ang transaction mo. Kung gagamit ka ng 200 sat/vByte nasa huli parin yan at mababa ang priority, so parang ganun parin ang lalabas.


Ang sakit nito kapag urgently need ng funds at ang Bitcoin to withdraw ay eksakto lang sa pangangailangan, malaki ang magiging kakulangan dahil sa transaction fee.  Nakakainis rin talaga itong mga attacker, pangsariling kapakanan lang ang iniisip kahit na gumastos sila ng malaking halaga basta maimplement nila ang kanilang mga propaganda sa paninira ng Bitcoin economy.  Kaya kung wala naman importanteng pagkakagamitan ay ipagpaliban muna ang mga transaction sa Bitcoin network.

Sa kabilang banda may magandang epekto rin naman ang mga ganitong attack para lalong maimprove at maging maganda ang Bitcoin  technology sana nga lang ay mabigyan na ito ng lunas ng mga Bitcoin developer at bumalik na rin sa normal ang transaction fee.

Oo, yun talaga ang masamang dulot sa nung kataasan ng fee sa ngayon, aminin na natin, karamihan as umaasa sa signature campaign payment dito para may extra tayo linggo linggo, pero kung mababawasan pa to dahil sa nagyayaring spam attack eh talagang wala tayong magagawa kung mag withdraw at isakripisyo ang 200-300 PHP na mawawala sa atin.

Mismong si Hhampuz nagparamdam na ng malaking apekto nitong sobrang taas ng Fee in which never nya naging issue from the beginning na nag handle sya ng campaign , though previously sinusubukan na nya gumamit ng bench addresses para lang mabawasan ang TX yet itong linggo na to or pati ang mga susunod pa ay magiging pabigat talaga.

The mempool is extremely congested right now and I've spent close to $200 on this tx but there's still an unknown of when it'll be confirmed. I'll try and see if we can sort something out next week if the issues persist.


Malamang magtatagal pa to at pinaka maganda nating gawin is wag na muna maglabas kung hindi din naman sobrang importante , dahil pag nagkataon eh pagssisihan pa natin once na magkaron na ng Bull market sa mga susunod na buwan dahil sa laki ng natapyas sa transaction fees natin now.

Baka ang ibig sabihin niya rito ay 200 sat/vByte and binayaran nya, mataas talaga yun pero mabuti naman at na confirmed naman so pasok na to sa mga wallet ng campaign participants.

Although humuhupa na sa ngayon, nasa ~144 sat/vByte and hishest priority at nasa ~100 sat/vByte ang lowest. So magandang sign to, kasi kagabi natin kung sinilip ko umangat na naman na halos 300 sat/VByte.

At kung titingnan mo ngayon ang mga Brc-20 tokens, halos lahat bagsak na, baka mga ilang araw o linggo na lang tapos na ang hype dito at tuluyan nang lumuwag ang network.
