Everything related to finance is speculative and gambling
Yeah, including stocks that Warren Buffett has it his portfolio, perhaps for him it's the risk involved that's why he compare it to gambling. And if it is gambling to us then majority of us are in the winning side, specially those long terms holders who knows when to sell at the right time. The thing is that he don't want and doesn't want to understand Bitcoin, and with that his opinion is irrelevant because how can you comment on something that you don't even understand? |

Of course in life, there will be a lot of of challenges, it will not be a clear road, there will be bumps a long the way in our journey. And if we can relate this to crypto investment or trader, there were times that we are going to lose, there were times that we want to quit and look for other ways to make money specially in a bear market wherein everyone is dishearten to see the price plummeting all time high.
And yet, we have to face it, just like what the saying goes, "face your fears" and took the pleasure of the pain and yet enjoy it. And when go and win and overcome that hardship and not so comfort experience, for sure it will make us a better person and in the end it will spell success on us.

With only light betting during the week with the playin the playoffs are finally here. Have to take a stab at all 4.
1) taking Philly at home -8.5
2) Hawks +9.5. Trey is a different dude in the playoffs between him and Murray they should be able to keep this close.
3) THEEEEE NY Knicks moneyline. Yep Homer bet but I'm taking it.
4) and too much money coming in on the Warriors. I'm taking the home team -1 kings. Think GS takes the series but this will be a tough game. Going against the grain.
Good luck everyone and enjoy!! Go KNICKS!!!
3 of 4 @wheelz1200! Very nice. I should've tailed you instead on that game. Congratulations to you. I got 2 of 4 only. Philadelphia 76ers -10.5 - Win Boston Celtics -10.5 - Win Cavs -3.5 - Loss - This is big for those who won the Knicks' Moneyline. Warriors -3.5 - Loss I watched only the Warriors game and I even added another bet for them when they are up by 3. I thought they are playing good basketball especially with Wiggins back but the turnovers are hurting them and Fox was on fire with his perimeter shots. I only bet on the Warriors game and obviously it's the only game that I watch and unfortunately for us, the Warriors lost that game. But definitely the series is still long and all they have to do is steal one game which they almost did. That Wiggins three though, if it just falls in the Warriors could have won this game. For sure they've seen what the Kings can offer so it's Steve Kerr's turn to counter in game 2. Another interesting match is the Lakers vs Memphis, experience vs youth, LBJ vs Ja Morant. It's going to another series that we are anticipating. We are going to see if Lebron has enough gas tank against the young Grizzlies team. Because for me as the series goes, Lebron and AD's bodies might not have enough time to recover. And I will say that Memphis is very physical, so it's going to be Brooks vs James. But for sure they will throw a lot of body on Lebron in this series. So with that, I will bet on Memphis -4.5. |

He was a fortune teller, hehehe. But I do agree that gambling with bitcoin is the best use case. And if I'm not mistaken, (I don't have the numbers), but I will assume that majority of us have gambled our Bitcoin one time or another, more than using it as a payment method.
And I don't think that it's bad, it's not there growth of gambling is really massive in the last 5 years or so.
Just look at the current signature campaigns, still dominated by crypto based gambling platforms (Stake, Sportsbet, Duelbits, Rollbit, Roobet and others).
The trend will continue in the next 10 years or so.

So ngayon ang masasabi ko at nasa bullish trend tayo, at least for this quarter lang.
Hindi natin masabi kung ano ang mangyayari pa sa taon na to. Baka may ala FTX scenario naman na tinatawag nilang "black swan" event na talagang magpapabagsak sa merkado. At kung wala naman eh baka direcho ang pag angat ng presyo at baka nasa $45k-$50k baka matapos ang taon.
Sa akin naman tingin ko may mga konting pull backs at corrections pero normal lang yun. Pero para sa akin hanggang 2025 na siguro itong pattern na magiging bullish pero hindi naman continuous pero yun nga katulad ng sinabi mo hindi natin sigurado dahil volatile ang bitcoin at madami pang puwedeng mangyari. Sa ngayon, enjoyin nalang muna natin itong ganitong scenario para sa mga hindi pa nakapag accumulate, mag simula na kayong pag isipan. Sa tingin niyo, if nagkaroon na ng fork, tataas nanaman ang presyo ng BTC no? Medyo nanghihinayang ako kase last few months, price ng BTC bumaba ng around ~p1.2m and stable siya at that price. Ngayon na tumaas siya to p1.6-1.7m, medyo nanghinayang ako na hindi ako nakapag invest and hindi ko na HODL mga BTCs ko earned from campaign signatures. Hindi ko sure kung may schedule pa na Fork, ang dami na natin nito, meron isang website dati na nag track nito, pero mukhang down na sa ngayon ( https://forks.net/). Pero according to his site: ( https://forkdrop.io/how-many-bitcoin-forks-are-there) There are 105 Bitcoin fork projects in total.
Of those, 74 are considered active projects relevent to holders of Bitcoin (BTC). The remaining 31 are considered historic and are no longer relevant.
Additionally there are 22 altcoin fork projects which have some similarity to Bitcoin fork projects, but have their heritage from a major altcoin. Do you guys think na papalo yung price ng BTC around ~p2m this year? Plano ko talaga to make my first big purchase with my BTCs kaya need ko lahat ng pwedeng information about this.
Mahirap hulaan, pero kung pagbabasehan natin, around mga $44k-$45k yang price na yan, so may chance kung magtutuloy tuloy ang bullish sentiments ng mga investors sa taon na to. Or walang black swan na makakapag apekto sa merkado katulad ng FTX collapse last year. So ngayon ang masasabi ko at nasa bullish trend tayo, at least for this quarter lang. Medyo hesitant pa rin akong sabihin nasa bullish trend na tyo, pwede siguro bullish sentiment, napakaaga pa kasi matrigger ang hype ng Bitcoin halving para maging catalyst sa pagtransition ng market, at saka wala rin matatag na basehan sa mga balita na makakapagmaintain ng bullish sentiment ng market. Oo, kaya sabi ko eh baka for this quarter ang ang bullish sentiments o bull trend. Period parin talaga nang accumulation, kaya dapat ipon talaga tayo pag may pagkakatoon, sa signature campaigns, sa gambling or kahit short term investments lang natin at ilagay lahat sa Bitcoin para handa tayo sa darating na bitcoin block halving dahil ito ang catalyst ng bull run na magaganap sa 2024-2025. |

By that time it's worth $40, so yeah he might have seen that way. The way we see the value of bitcoin as $30k in today's price. @Vaskiy - I think in one interview he says that someone will have to start it, so he did what he it, buy Pizza with his BTC and it's all started this craze. And during that time, Bitcoin was seen as a payment method. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j28hkTJMuTA&t=63s past forward to 0:55. |

[quote author=Eureka_07 link=topic=5447987.msg62097526#msg62097526 date=1681594340] Kabayan, OP, curious ako dun sa text na natanggap ng kaibigan mo. Ang nakalagay bang name ng sender eh "Gcash" nung nareceive nya yung fake transaction message na 'yun? [/quote] Wala akong natanggap na text na may pumasok sa Gcash ko, pero dun sa kakilala ko meron daw syang natanggap, But be warned, magagaling tong mga to, kayang kaya nila i spoof ang Gcash katulad nitong isang halimbawa: PSA: GCash sms has been compromised. Don't click on the link.. [quote author=Eureka_07 link=topic=5447987.msg62097526#msg62097526 date=1681594340] Baka kaya hindi na online is dahil banned na? Haha! Ingat sa mga ganito kabayan. Ako hindi ako nag rerelease hanggat hindi ko nakikita sa app ng Gcash at history na may pumasok na eh. Chinecheck ko pa atleast twice bago i-release. Sana wala nang mabiktima sa mga ganitong klaseng modus. [/quote] Malamang banned na nga sya: [img width=450]https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blobace36276c28a636c.png[/img] Pero hindi ibig sabihin na tapos na ang araw nyang mang scam, baka manggawa lang ulit ng ibang account to at tuloy ang modus. Kaya lahat tayo ingat sa pag transact maliit man o malaking halaga. |

And we have a shocker, Chinese Heavyweight Zhilei Zhang beats Joe Joyce and TKO him in 6th rounds. It was one of the best peformance of Zhang to this date, as he just dominate the British boxer and really dominate him every round. Joyce was undefeated coming to this fight and the favorite to win and potentially face Usyk. But Zhang derail everything, Joyce has a solid chin, but his eyes can't take that punishment from Zhang's left causing it to close and swallow and the referee has no choice but to stop the fight. Not sure if anyone seen this upset coming.
It is said that there is a rematch clause for this fight, But for sure Zhang might be next in like for Usyk after Daniel Dubois.

Isn't it that's what the summit has been doing for the last 5 years or so? carved out stringent regulations against crypto as they see it affecting the monetary world? But nothing has happen to far, crypto is here and going to stay. Also we have to look at which country is in this group and see if they are pro, anti or in the grey area as far as crypto goes.
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Türkiye, United Kingdom and United States and the European Union.
So in the list we can see which one of them are in either category of the spectrum. Because with that, we will know their stance if they see the crypto is a pose or threat or it is something that they can live with. So it will be hard for India to have this tighter regulations and I don't think that there will be consensus out of this G20 meeting.
I'm not surprised by India's hard line against crypto though, perhaps it steam to the notion that crypto is being used by criminals. Their Central Banks (RBI), has been anti crypto as they compare it to Ponzi scheme.

my question is if anyone has one million dollars and he transfered to cex and want to buy btc, so how much price of bitcoin can be moved with 1 million dollars, and also while selling 1 million dollars worth bitcoin, then how much price can be moved.
is it depends on anything? and what possible scenario can occur while moving the price like high volume small candle,
you can also try to explain with 10million if you know.
It won't move a nudge, if you look at the trading volume in coinmarketcap, it's currently around $12 Billion. So it's just like a drop in the ocean. So that's how big the trading volume of Bitcoin as compare to the rest of crypto, it still dominates the market close to 50%. And if I'm going to buy $1 million, I would rather to it, OTC, to summarized: Unlike trading on an exchange, OTC trades are conducted directly between two counterparties. It’s the easiest way to trade a large block of coins in one go. Each trade is a bilateral agreement between a buyer and a seller - no one else sees the discussion, which allows you to discuss trading large sizes without fear of affecting the markets. The trade can be as simple or as customized as you like. https://www.binance.com/en/blog/all/otc-basics-by-binance-trading-337068226927206400The thing is even if whales will want to move and manipulate the market, it doesn't mean they will always make money, sometimes it could be a bad move for them to invest huge amount and then the market goes into the opposite direction. And if some entity wants to influence the price, he has to be a big holder, like 51% of all Bitcoin in circulation. Not sure if we have that kind of statistics, but it doesn't make sense for a single whale to do that. |

This happened to me last year and I just remember again when I view my PM history. Someone report all my previous post. I received bunch of deleted post notification on my inbox for more than a week then I received temporary ban for 7 days afterwards..
All the post deleted is a decent and not spammy because I’m just disccusing with other user post on the thread with only 2 page. I realize that someone just browse my post history and report all my previous post.
Question: At what certain amount of deleted post will cause a permaban? I lost count because I delete all this notification on my message because it's already annoying at that time.
I did check your history and as per BPIP:  @acroman08 has posted regarding the rules about it. But let me quote @hilariousetc for a better explanation: There is no set number and bans are taken on a case by case basis but bans are rarely given for a set amount of posts deleted. If you're caught spamming and all your posts are very low quality then you might get a temp ban. If you don't take the warning and continue making low quality content you'll usually get another ban with the duration doubled but if you have to be banned three times then the fourth is usually the last one you'll get. Thankfully most don't get that far these days but there's also less bans given out for sig spam. This is something we still should be enforcing at the root cause which is the sig campaigns themselves. If they're paying for this fluff time and time again then they should receive the punishment but that's rare. The only case I can think of recently was yobit. Thankfully most campaigns don't get that bad but yobit was like an avalanche of spam unleashed instantly so they had to be dealt with.

And I thought that everyone wanted to be private and hide their username using this script Hide my name? |
|
|
|
Is there any Userscript that enables me to add people to a trust list and then view the trust based on that list and not mine, or according to another user's list?
I can do this manually by adding and removing people from my list, but I don't want to edit my list daily.
As for the reason for asking, is because trust list for some board, for example, Collectibles board members gives more accurate results than default trust list or my customized trust because they deal with these members, and therefore their feedbacks in that board should be more useful even if they are not DT1/2 members.
I'm not sure if this is the one that you are looking for: [Userscript] Automatically append ;dt to the end of URLs (View as DT) [v0.2.3]. In any case you need others scripts, you can go browse this thread: List of Bitcointalk.org Userscripts/ Add-ons / SMF patches. |

Speaking of Musk though, for sure majority of us remember when they sold their Bitcoin stash. And I know some of us says that it's not a big mistake on his part, but it was a $500 million lost for them right now. The price of Bitcoin has grown by more than 50% since Tesla unveiled its approximately $1-billion BTC sales in July 2022. In other words, the Elon Musk-owned electric carmaker would have made an additional $500 million if it had waited until today to sell. https://cointelegraph.com/news/tesla-selling-bitcoin-last-year-turned-out-to-be-a-500m-mistakeJust another lesson that we should be holder and look for our Bitcoin investments for long term, specially for average Joe like the majority of us. |

The effect for Ukraine and Russia is positive if we'll just talk about the usage of bitcoin. Since the sanction that have been placed on Russia, most payment solutions have stopped operating on their end so, they've got no choice but to choose some ways of transferring and doing transactions by avoiding the sanction and that's through bitcoin AFAIK.
I don't know how you claim that bitcoin has a good effect on its price due to war? If there is instability in the world, people will not invest in any currency which is volatile. And so are traditional markets, but what bitcoin does though is to hedge their against this inflation due to war in Europe. Yes, Russia has no option but to use bitcoin as a payment solution if all other doors are closed for them but they need the other party (government) to accept bitcoin payment too. The fact is our global economy is based on the US dollar and bitcoin can't stand in front of it. We still see US economic indicators or KPIs like CPI data, and employment data to determine the pump and dump of bitcoin price. That is how immature is the bitcoin market at the moment.
It will take a decade or so when bitcoin will stand out and the world may start accepting it on government levels.
And yet Russia become the second biggest miner in the world behind US: Obviously they have cheap electricity cost to do it, and maybe this is one way to get around those sanctions. Russia has become the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency mining country this year, the Kommersant business daily reported Friday, citing Bitriver, Russia’s largest bitcoin mining provider.
While the United States remains by far the world's largest crypto miner, boasting 3-4 gigawatts of mining capacity, Russia’s generating capacity reached 1 gigawatt in January-March 2023.
In taking second place for the first time, Russia took a spot previously occupied by Kazakhstan, which introduced restrictions on crypto mining activities in 2022 and now ranks ninth, Kommersant cited Bitriver as saying. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/04/07/russia-becomes-worlds-second-largest-crypto-miner-a80749 |

I don't want to sound religious but my point is that, I believed in the potential of Bitcoin and its forum/community to the point where be it my earnings come from my dedication and focus to it.
I guess that's where most of us started, from the earnings we got from this community, we venture to become traders, investors and holders or we might have put business whether online or offline specially if you have been here for at least 5 years or so. As a newbie my advise for you is to believe in whatever efforts you put in here and truly the outcome would amaze you overtime. Wherein there is no believe in the system and operations of its forum, the task to post comments, create new topics or participate in its competition will only come off as too much work or stress and might lead one to become discouraged and quit in the end.
Believe in what you give your time, focus and energy to and be baffled how the results play out.
As the saying goes, patience is a virtue. If we learn things through our hard efforts, then it's going to be a great feeling overtime. So it will take some time but if you the perseverance and the mental fortitude to stay here and then earn and to take "risk", sooner or later you will be rewarded and the outcome is going to be big. So just stay focus and be positive. |

Nakapag basa basa ako dito sa local and napansin ko lang na nasa ganitong range tayo ulit. Grabe magaling si OP mag predict no?
Sa tingin nyo ba guys na papunta na tayo sa bear season ulit or? this is just a retracement that would lead to a bullish trend
Siguro sa ngayon masasabi na natin na may nangyaring minor retracement tapos nag sideways tayo for almost 10 days sa simula ng April sa $28k++. At ngayon biglang tumaas na a mahigit $30k. Ang biggest barrier kasi at $28,500 at nang ito at ma break dire-direcho na tayo. At mukhang ang April ay isa ring magandang month sa tin at hopefully baka ma unlock or at least ma reach natin ang $32k. So ngayon ang masasabi ko at nasa bullish trend tayo, at least for this quarter lang. Hindi natin masabi kung ano ang mangyayari pa sa taon na to. Baka may ala FTX scenario naman na tinatawag nilang "black swan" event na talagang magpapabagsak sa merkado. At kung wala naman eh baka direcho ang pag angat ng presyo at baka nasa $45k-$50k baka matapos ang taon. |

And that's why you really need to understand when to enter the market, when to sell and when to HODL otherwise you might not maximized your profits or at least regret selling early to take that money. I know it's hard to do that, but at least you should picture that mind and learn and re-learn as you go on with your journey in investing in this market.
So in this case, if you buy at the top and then the price goes down, you have 'realized' loss, meaning it's just paper loss on your end unless you really sold at the price, but are you going to do it when you know that you are going to be in the negative? Of course not. So what you are going to do in that case, then HODL and wait for the price to go up again.
Sooner or later you will understand how this variables will affect your profits or what you term variable cost, and so you will have to advise. It's not always perfect here, maybe you will lose some money in the beginning, but the thing is that you have to learn from that experience to make you a better trader or investor.

Also, it is good that we report this domain so that it is suspended.
Yes, I forgot to informed that I also reported this site once I found out about it. And maybe the community as well because it won't take like 5 minutes to report this phishing site to: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=enThe fake site is not accessible anymore, the domain or the host might have taken it down or the developers have taken it down because they are already reported and exposed, hopefully, they have not scammed people but I doubt it.
They will continue to create a platform like this because of people's greediness and lack of knowledge on how these scammers work as long as we have these kinds of people who failed to do research, scammers will create plans and scheme to scam people, scammers thrive on newbies greediness.
True, at least the action was swift and it has been take down already but the registrar or the domain hosting. We know that this kind of pattern from cyber criminals are going to continue because there are still a lot of gullible individuals here, mostly newbies who can fall from this trick and so it will be a very expensive lessons for them. So that best thing to do is to really exposed this in this community and let everyone know about it. Who knows we can save a lot of newbies from losing their hard earn money. |

Coinbase has assembled their team of avengers
~
Let me stop you right there. They don't look like "avengers" to me. They resemble more of HYDRA fighting the Black Order. Nobody really cares about whether coinbase wins or loses the battle except for die-hard traders who want to keep their 100x leverage and 10% stake yielding options, and every other XRP fanboy on the Earth's surface. My money is on they will rip each other apart though, which is great for us because then we win! Or just take out our coins from Coinbase pronto!!, self-custody. And even if Coinbase send the best lawyers that they can find, it will still a uphill battle against SEC. They have the money though, so let's see. If Ripple can afford $100 million on legal fees, I think Coinbase has more money to do that and fight and not be bullied by SEC. https://twitter.com/CoinDesk/status/1548023702918377473 |
