7021  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain is Watching You: Profiling and Deanonymizing Ethereum Users on: July 03, 2020, 11:05:41 PM
Speaking of Ethereum 2.0, I don't think that the being anonymity feature is a priority here, and as you said that Vitalik Buterin said, Ethereum was not designed just that.
So for me, it's ok that the anonymity is not included on the Ethereum 2.0 update, as there are a lot of things that are much priority compare to that anonymity feature of Ethereum.
Same thought here. You would be in surprise to know many crypto adopters really don't care much about anonymity or hell-bent on wanting to have it. Only a fraction of crypto follower want the anonymity cause they need to hide their identity for whatever shady thing they have in their mind.

You have a point, specially when crypto really took off in the last couple of years, it's like noobs scramble and went full nuts to join the bandwagon and just wanted to earn, i.e. bounty hunters. They will do everything just to get those rewards, like sending their full information or even email addresses which later on can be used to de-anonymised someone. It's a whole new ball game out there.
7022  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: DENT COIN....????? on: July 03, 2020, 10:36:31 PM
I knew about DENT since when they proposed their token sale on the forum. Their token sale was successful... Some time between  2017 to 2018 if I remembered correctly. Anyway, DENT was doing pretty well the last time I checked (Their app on playstore was doing great and getting momentum). In recent time, the price has taken dome big hits.  Regardless of what people say or think, it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to invest or trade DENT tokens. You can join their community channels too if it helps you gauge their progress.

Just like those coins who enjoyed a good run in 2017-2018, DENT already lost everything during the bearish trend and still way behind its previous all time high >85% up to this point. So for the OP, it will really be a big risk to invest on any coin today, not just DENT, you have to do more than that, re-read the whitepaper and everything related to the project to really gauge everything.
7023  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In what way you’ll inherit Bitcoin to your loved ones? on: July 03, 2020, 03:14:55 PM
This is one thing I have never really taken care of, to be honest. I have this fear sometimes that I might die and my coins would simply stay locked. I don't think there's anyone I know who could get inside my wallets without prior research about BTC..

Perhaps it's about time to discuss it with your family then? We really don't know man, if you have a ton of bitcoins, at least let someone know how to access it.

I might either teach a few of them (closest ones) how to use the wallets and where to take the passwords and seeds from or, otherwise, I'd probably write it all in a notebook although this is a quite bad idea to do so. Imagine writing a "how to get my Bitcoins!" tutorial for in case I die and a thief finding it. Cheesy That one should either be very very well hidden (perhaps buried underground, but there's moisture and a lot of other factors you have to consider..).

Yes, we really need to go old school and write it everything down or used our imagination on how to hide our private keys, like burying it underground or something. Or just a vault in bank to make sure it will be safe from criminals or physical damage.

~snip~
Done betting Cool, use eth instead of btc because of high transaction fee atm on transferring bitcoin.


Unfortunately, the streak has stopped as the Filipino lost his fight against a tall Albert Bell, at 6'0 and obviously take advantage by using his jab to make Mark Bernaldez very uncomfortable in the early going of the fight. And it was a shut out as all the 3 judges score the fight for Bell, 100-90.

https://www.boxingscene.com/albert-bell-easily-boxes-past-mark-bernaldez-decision-win--149928

Not bad on trying to get some luck, that odds was really attractive but it's very clear from the very beginning that Bell has a bigger chance of winning since he is the heavy favorite, if it resulted to an upset, that could have give @bisdak40  a good return of his bet.

Yeah not bad, it's worth a try because of that attractive odd. If they will fight again, i'll still bet for the Filipino fighter  Grin. Have not watch the full fight yet but seeing the highlights, Bell uses his length wisely, height really matter on that fight.



Ramirez got his revenge though not by knockout but a win is still a win. I do think that Top Rank is grooming this kid to become a world champion someday and a fight with Stevenson is inevitable and could be money fight for both.

Thanks for your comments on this thread guys, will be lacking this thread in a few hours.
 

Next time, we gonna catch those huge odds in our favour.  Smiley. I will keep an eye on Bell though, it seems that he has a good potential and has the tools, good jab, know how to used his reach and a few wins will potentially give him a crack.

Not the end of the road for Mark, just bad stylistic match up for him. I do hope that he will be given more exposure as well.
7025  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Getting back in the coin game on: July 02, 2020, 11:58:58 PM
Welcome back, good timing to be back as the market is still in the so-so swing, and you can still invest around as most of the alts are still way below their all time high, so there's is a possibility that you can still profit once we hit that bull run again. Hardware wallet like Trezor and Ledger are still the best as far as security, but you have to be very careful because they have been targeted by a lot of cyber criminals, pretending to be the real and legit Trezor and Ledger, specially fake websites and fake google play store apps.

You can read all about Ethereum staking here: https://cointelegraph.com/explained/ethereum-20-staking-explained

Of course, the top 10 altcoins are still good to hold. So best of luck.
7026  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you lend your cryptocurrencies? on: July 02, 2020, 10:59:15 PM
Hi guys, as many of you as I also would like to "do" something with my crypto funds that I held in my crypto wallet. For a few months, I still think if crypto loans really work and there is a very very low risk of losing my funds. I would like to borrow lend my cryptocurrencies with an interest. Blockfi offers up to 8.5% interest p.a. and there are more competitors, but would you 100% trust them? Earning few percent per year vs. losing the big amount of cryptocurrencies fund?

Yes, everything has risk specially the lending services, it's really attractive to see a 8.5% per annum, but your funds are not safe. Honestly, I will rather hold my coins, at least I have total control of it. There are a lot of scammers out there, so it's really hard to trust and lend money to some that you really don't know. Besides, there are also hackers just around the corner.

7027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]Robeisy Ramirez vs Adan Gonzales on: July 02, 2020, 10:36:13 PM
Heads up guys, odds are available now on the bookies and if anyone of you are interested then it's a great opportunity to bet now. Good odds for the Filipino boxer, hoping that Mark Bernaldez will not break the streak.



Thanks again, will try to bet on this fight to continue our winning streak. It is really a good odds and very attractive, nothing to lose here for Mark, and I'm sure he will bring home the bacon again for the Philippines and we have something to cheer on in this pandemic.  Grin
7028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jeff Bezos and Bitcoin on: July 02, 2020, 09:49:23 PM
Today Jeff Bezos is worth more than the market cap of the bitcoin at its price right now, he's more than $1.5M ahead. Jeff Bezos could really own every bitcoin with that huge amount of money, but I'm thinking how much transaction fee he is getting to pay for buying all of the bitcoins (If Ever) and I'm also wondering why at this time of pandemic he got his ATH company shares. With all these money he could just play around, he's above all us in terms of money. Any thoughts about this one?

His wealth is not that liquid though, he need to liquidated his tangible and non-tangible assets just to be able to buy all bitcoins currently in circulation. Of course, he could do OTC transactions to somewhat minimised transaction fees, but still as he buys the price is going to push through so we may have to see fees going up as well.
7029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think players can play properly against a recovered Covid-19 opponent? on: July 02, 2020, 09:12:54 PM
We all know that in some sports leagues, some players are being infected with the pandemic virus.

Now that some sports leagues are bound to resume and others are already resumed, do you think it will play a big role in their performance if somehow a team is against a team with recovered Covid-19 players on it? The mindset is still there that even these former Covid-19 players are now cleared and 100%, the worry is still there.

For me, yes. It can play as a factor in my future betting.

Yes, I think players that are Covid-19 free will have will this kind of mentality when they are up against a person that has recovered from the virus. Of course, they won't admit it, but we all know that humans is fearful of something they know that it can hurt them. So most probably, if we are going to bet, we should factor this somewhat as it can really affect them psychologically, just saying.
7030  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My suggestion on Bitcoin adoption on: July 01, 2020, 10:47:56 PM
I love the fact that the whole world isn't aware of Bitcoin yet. I see Bitcoin as a digital Gold. It is supposed to be scarce to retain its credibility. If Gold was made accessible to everyone, The value would never be as high it has always been. In the case of Bitcoin, before the century goes off a quantum of the world population will be accessing the internet and I'm not sure a lot of people will still be interested in knowing what it is.

Bitcoin is 'slowly' being adopted, but it might take some time to fully see the potential to be a currency or a payment scheme because of its volatility. Yes, we love to see the whole world being aware of bitcoin, but we can't really force that issue though. In the long run, it's either you are a bitcoin maximalist or no coiner. If others doesn't see bitcoin or at least some governments thought it could bring more harm to them then we can't do anything about it. That's why we have seen countries banning it, or putting a strict regulatory framework, it is their loss, not ours. (Although I sound a bit selfish here)

If it is established that the player and the dealer colluded. Wouldn't that be considered fraud?

Who established that, the casino?

If so, they don't even need an investigation into the matter, as in this case they can be the law unto themselves as well as the law enforcement agency. If we are talking about legal institutions, though, the fact of collusion can only be established in the court of law after the plaintiff reveals all of their evidence to that effect and the judge finds this evidence convincing and sufficient
Here is one case in the Philippines wherein the card dealer was colluding with his friends and has raked a total of 5 million PHP or roughly $100K. They did some investigations, and then called NBI (local FBI) and the police made the arrest on the casino floor itself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhXNj87TNiE

Yes, it was sensationalised here in the Philippines when that news came out and if I'm not mistaken, that casino is Resorts World Manila, one of the big three here. 5 Mil PHP is already a big amount that those group try to milk the casino itself. Haven't heard what happened to that group, but I would certainly say that those people are going behind bars for what they did to the casino itself.
7033  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin performance in first half of 2020 on: July 01, 2020, 03:07:49 PM
"If we look at the BTC year-to-date chart, BTC’s performance has been very similar to the traditional stock markets. BTC’s price collapse is in tune with the global market collapse in March 2020. Thus, Bitcoin failed to live to its image of being the ‘Digital Gold’ and a safe haven for traditional market investors."

- But it did recover right? And if not for the government's stimulus package for the traditional markets, it will be hard pressed for them to recover, while bitcoin's reached hits higher high after the March fall out. So it's pretty obvious that bitcoin is performing very well in the first half of the year.

As for altcoin, I would tend to agree that there are altcoins that out perform bitcoin year-to-year but it doesn't mean that those kind of growth are to be sustainable long term though. We all know how altcoin market tends to be a "pump-and-dump" scheme.
7034  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Scam] Elon Musk ETH and BTC Giveaway on: July 01, 2020, 12:35:08 PM
It's almost impossible to report all these scams as quickly as they pop up, and their potential victims are not really on this forum nor would they be really interested in learning about Bitcoin. The scammers simply combine a novel idea and a promise of making double your money with zero effort and let greed do the rest.
The best way to curb this scams is people becoming more alert when on the internet, take everything as a scam until proven otherwise, this way you approach any offer with a certain level of skepticism and are less likely to fall blindly for cheap scam attempts.

Or just used your common sense, as no one will really give us free money here, not even the rich and the famous. We really don't know the numbers, but many are still falling for this trick and scammers are very satisfied with the results because they know that a person greed is really hard to resists until it's too late.

7035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING ]: Fury vs Wilder III in Las Vegas on 18th July 2020 !!! on: July 01, 2020, 12:14:07 PM
An article pops up accusing Fury of loading his gloves, this is according to Wilder's brother.

Fury Vows To End Wilder's Career After Claim of Loaded Gloves

Quote
In a recent social media post, Marsellos Wilder, the younger brother of former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, made a sensational claim that Tyson Fury may have loaded his gloves for the rematch with Deontay back in February.

“You know it’s crazy when you [are] great. They gotta do everything that is underneath real to figure out how to stop you. And the most wicked sh-t about [it] is- people on your own team will do anything for the hate [or] money to help [the opponents] take you down. It was discovered by doctors that my brother has a dent [at] the side of his head [due] to a blunt object [striking] his head [in] his last fight. No glove or fist was able to cause the damage according to the autopsy. My daddy once told me if you pull a gun out on somebody, you better kill them. Because if you don’t, they are gonna come back and kill you. The king is about to rise again. We [are] coming for blood," Marsellos Wilder stated.

https://www.boxingscene.com/fury-vows-end-wilder-career-claim-loaded-gloves--149855

I doubt that those allegations are true though, there are a lot of people including boxing bodies representatives and even the WBC President said that he is present in both in the dressing room. So I don't know where the hell did Marsellos Wilder got this idea.

This another b_s excuse on the Wilder camp on why their guy lost the fight. I think, after that Margarito incident, boxing bodies are very strict on inspecting gloves to prevent another such incident. I read an article that Fury is more motivated to end the career of Wilder after knowing that baseless allegation. Bad for Wilder?

I agree, it's really getting absurd here, you can't just accused someone without any proof and this just surface today after so many months already. So we really don't know that intention of Deontay's brother by going public by this allegations. And they look like really a loser here by coming up with any preposterous claims. Lol. And judging by Fury's reply, it just added fuel to the fire and I think it just make it worst for Wilder in this trilogy.
7036  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Unique use case. on: June 28, 2020, 04:47:27 PM
I can't wait to be a part of a crypto space where each project is unique on its own. There is nothing so special about 'use case' if it's not unique. It's becoming boring having too many projects trying to solve the same problem with almost the same approach. You don't need to struggle to attract the attention of the community if you really have something unique to offer. Mind you, uniqueness naturally attracts adoption. A piece of advice to developer, be unique.

It can also be said that the altcoin market is really clogged with useless projects and tokens that offer nothing but simply to make money to the people behind it. And this is the main reason why altcoin market is not really taking off and we might not see the same hype as the 2017 boom. Investors getting smart and really dissecting every project and it they found a flaw like it's nothing new at all, that project will not be supported or if it did, this will be used for pure pump and dump scheme only.

I would say that Fury has been the better fighter over their two fights and he has nothing to prove but it is Wilder that has everything to prove if he wishes to remain relevant.

Yes, the ball is really on Wilder side in this trilogy, he has to show his old version, I mean the fighter that has total control of his emotions inside the ring that doesn't look like to be intimidated at all. Fury is oozing with confidence, while Wilder looks defeated already. So we will see, again, this is a matter of who will adjust and wanted to more to win in the end.



He should patch up the things that he had done in to their last fights with Fury and overcoming it on what would it be because thats the only way that he would able to reclaim his glory.


I agree that Wilder should really be on his old self but with have some changes specially on counterattacking Fury's way of fighting. Dont focus on landing straight hard punches. He should at least

be moving out and on having that kind of tactic.Of course, Fury would really be prepared as well.So this one would really be a hella good of a fight.

Because he really rely on his straight right hand to do the job for him. But with the Fury fight, it's very different specially in the second fight wherein he had trouble finding that range And Fury move a lot. It's hard to hit a moving target. Or don't let himself being push by Fury and use some upper cut and body shots to somewhat slow down Fury.
