1061  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Really Burn helps Token in positive way? on: August 02, 2023, 02:18:47 PM
The burning mechanism is just one of the factors that will help one token in a positive way, Shiba Inu is doing well not only because of the burning mechanism but more so because the community is still hyped on MEME coin brought by Elon Musk pushing of Dogecoin, and it so happens that Shina Inu launches on the right time, the burning mechanism is only good if there are community support and the project and its platform have a use case, we have seen other tokens concentrating on their burn mechanism but they ended up as a scam and shit coin.

Do not just rely on a burning mechanism it's easy for a contract-based token to implement a burn mechanism but they should also have something to offer to the community so they can last long in the market.
Just one factor but I'd never see how effective it was when it was applied to other projects. We can see it was good for Shiba Inu but generally, it was hyped that made the price hike due to the influence of EM which cause a price source. But looked, once it was done, the price has gone low again. And this will tell us that the burning strategy means nothing and it was not sustainable. That is why I don't give a thumbs up and I don't believe what these developers are saying _burning to increase price_that was a trick.

I'm surprised by the odds of Spain; they used to be a good team. Maybe it's because the two Gasols are not playing anymore, which is why their chances, based on the odds, have dropped. Personally, I still find this team a good one to bet on. With the odds of x12, I find it very attractive, and I might bet a small amount on them to win the competition.

As for our national team, they are in Group A. I'm not sure if the Philippines could at least win a game in the FIBA World Cup, but hopefully, they'll manage to secure a victory. Our ranking in international competitions, particularly in FIBA, is still quite low.

Currently, the Philippines is ranked at number 40. You can check the rankings here: https://www.fiba.basketball/rankingmen...

However, it's surprising that Spain is at the top, and their odds do not seem to reflect their ranking.

I believe that all of us wanted to become rich but unfortunately, not all are become successful in our dreams and wants and this is because we don't have equal chances of getting it. What I mean is that not all are destined to become rich because of so many factors - money, skills, mindset, and education. As we can see, the rich people become richer while the poor people become poorer. Of course, we all are working hard every day in order to meet our needs but guess what, our lifestyle and poor financial management will bring us down.
1064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - July 29 on: August 02, 2023, 06:19:02 AM


Maybe the outcome of Canelo vs Jermell Charlo fight is very important because if Jermell Charlo were to win, I'm sure Crawford would see it as a good opportunity to fight Jermell Charlo by moving up, as a win would make him more popular.

How about Crawford - Canelo both have a claim to be a crowd drawer and a pound-for-pound king, I don't think Canelo can impose his skill and power against Canelo the way Crawford devastated Spence if they cross their path I hope they do, Canelo will have a beating more than what he gets from his fight against Bivol.

Crawford is already 35 not many years left in his boxing career, so his promoters and handlers should think of fighting fighters in the pound-for-pound list that he can fight in a catch weight.

That is a 3 weight, 21 pound difference. I doubt Canelo is capable of going down much further than super middleweight. If Crawford moved up and beat Canelo he would undoubtedly be considered among the greatest fighters ever. The difference is just too much for that fight to be possible any time soon. We could still get an idea of what would happen if Crawford fights Charlo and then we can compare their performance against the same fighter.

Definitely, however, if Charlo were to lose to Canelo, I think the fight between Charlo and Crawford might not happen as Canelo would become the champion, and therefore, if Crawford wants to challenge for the title, he would have to face Canelo at 154 lbs. But, I guess we are speculating too much for now; let's see the outcome of Canelo vs Charlo first, and then we can speculate on whether Canelo vs Crawford will happen.

As for Crawford, he can choose not to fight this year; he can enjoy the remaining part of the year by having a vacation, especially considering that he just made history this year.

According to the news, Inoue is set to have more fights in the current division before moving up. This presents an opportunity for Casimero to finally face the boxer whom he called "the turtle" and claim that he is the real beast. I know he is just trash talking, but the only way to find out who is the better boxer of the two is if they fight.

Casimero is not a top contender yet based on the ranking, but as he continues to have more fights, he will eventually become a top contender. I hope the time is not too late for him to become a mandatory challenger for Inoue.
1066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 02, 2023, 02:31:33 AM

The Suns will be hot that's for sure. They will be fast, and aggressive, and will be using their shooting skills as their main weapon. My only worry here is the injuries which is part of the game, I guess.

We should not worry about that as any player on a certain team could be injured. If injuries were to happen, it would result in a lessened chance of winning, so time management is also very important, especially for Durant, who is the most injury-prone in the roster. Without him, I think the Suns would struggle. Both Beal and Durant would be fresh in the next season, and judging by Durant's performance last season, especially in the playoffs, it looks like it's easy for him to build chemistry with his teammates. Booker and Durant playing together would be effective; it's just unfortunate that they lost to the Nuggets.

Of course, there will be major adjustments made this off-season, and we can expect the Suns to be a great team.

As per https://www.vegasinsider.com/nba/odds/futures/, the Suns are only ranked at number 3, which, in my opinion, is a great value at +650.
1067  Economy / Speculation / Re: Hold coin on: August 01, 2023, 09:50:18 PM
Yes, the vast majority of Bitcoin investors expect Bitcoin to achieve a new ATH in 2025 and possibly cross 100-120k$.

Personally if I had some money I would buy Bitcoin, in fact I started the DCA strategy a while ago and will continue until Bitcoin achieves a new ATH.

I tried a lot of other coins but didn't get much. My personal experience has proven that Bitcoin is the most reliable and profitable coin in the long run.
It's true what you say. So far, bitcoin has proven that bitcoin is the most reliable coin and can be profitable in the long term. But people are picking up new coins they didn't know could improve or stay in place. And if you already own bitcoins right now, you have to hold onto them until things turn around and the price increases. But you can now buy more bitcoins because the price is currently discounted. So don't wait too long to start buying bitcoins or they will regret that it's too late to buy bitcoins.
If we think about holding long-term, Bitcoin is the best choice. But if think about just playing the market volatility, altcoins are there is give us more profit than Bitcoin. It is really all about our preferences but the advantage of choosing Bitcoin is that we can assure that years from now it grow unlike holding altcoins.

There are so many coins to hold but yes, this will also matter on how we manage them. If we can play the market so well, we can really make money there but if not, even investing in Bitcoin will give us losses as well.
1068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney on: August 01, 2023, 01:22:36 PM


However, we know how defensive Haney is, and if Prograis try to be the aggressor, I think it will be like Haney against Kambosos. Wherein Haney will have the upper hand as he will do the counter all night long. The only chance that Prograis is to hit Haney flush to win by ko as Haney doesn't have a good chin to begin with.

Good defense and timing in counterpunching are the best defense against a strong puncher Haney is so good at frustrating his opponent and accumulating points, that Prograis should find a way to get his punches in.

Haney is a boring fighter like Mayweather but his style gets the nod of the judges, judges score on hits and defense and that's what happens in his encounter against Kambosos, he cannot avoid Haney's counterpunching, I don't think Prograis is the fighter that will handle Haney's first loss.
 

That's just how he fights, and we have to accept it because it makes him effective in boxing. He may be considered boring, no question about that, but as long as he keeps winning, he will undoubtedly have more fights to come and more money to earn. Let's hope that he will have a good match with Regis Prograis, now that he is the challenger. If he wants to win convincingly, he needs to be more convincing in the ring, as we don't want to see a controversial fight like his previous one where some people thought he lost to Lomachenko.
1069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - July 29 on: August 01, 2023, 12:55:23 PM

If ever they will bring this rematch into the table, if both camps will agree, maybe it will take place.

Who knows if Spence will perform well and clear that excuses and convert it to a success, though seeing the fight the
winning chance might be slim. The level of fighting greatness from Crawford is way high compared with Spence, it
might be concluded if ever we hear an update with any negotiation about possible rematch.

Promoters would still make money in the rematch, so if both camps want to make it happen, there should be no problem in terms of profitability.

Although it was very evident how dominant Crawford was in the first fight, the outcome was still very entertaining, so the fans would still watch it.

This could be like a Pacman vs Morales situation, where Pacman lost in the first fight but came back in the next two fights to dominate Morales. So, let's not be too conclusive here; anything could change as Spence could figure out his mistakes and improve himself in the rematch, if it's going to happen.
1070  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Education and money as the key to Bitcoin adoption. on: July 31, 2023, 09:57:27 PM
Bitcoin awareness is not really the major problem of Bitcoin adoption because so many people are aware of Bitcoin but  the wrong information they receive daily by the government especially some of the politicians are the major reason why people are afraid to invest in Bitcoin even when they know that some of the informations are totally wrong.

Money is the key for Bitcoin adoption because without money we can do nothing but I think people have money but the fear of losing it has always been a major concern to them all because most people still see Bitcoin investment as a scam because of how the government has painted it in the ears of their citizens.
There are so many misinformations, FUDs, and scam issues that we heard online and in the newspaper making some people to doubts and remain uncertain. These are the big factors that stop them from having an interest. Well, of course, why should have to adopt Bitcoin if I was not sure? Definitely, we really need proper education in order to correct the wrong informations that we heard around us as it was a manipulating factor that affects our mindset Because as long as it was still there, uncertainties remain and the spread continues.
1071  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should I buy now or I should still wait for the dip? on: July 30, 2023, 09:49:54 PM
Buying or investing it always on our preferred price. But I suggest not to wait for the dip as we never be going there and expect that until the bull season end. Besides, $30k is not really expensive compared to buying at $35k. We just think that we are moving forward to halving and the next is bull season, and even we can experience some price corrections but it never be low like we have in bear season. We just think that the price of Bitcoin 2 years from now is doubled (or even more) from the current price, meaning we are still in a huge profit if we can wait.
1072  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'll always tell people about bitcoin on: July 28, 2023, 09:12:47 PM
This days lot of bitcoiners are scared of introducing bitcoin to people because of they  do not want to be blame if the investment ends bad. Most people have lost good relationships with family and friends all because of introduction to financial investment with no profit and this made them to take a serious decision never to make any introduction about money to anybody again.  As for me I'll always introduce bitcoin to people because it is money, people needs money for better life.  It is my duty to tell about bitcoin to people and it is their decision to invest in it.

Because of the risk that is in bitcoin it won't stop me from telling people about bitcoin which will better their life if they found it interesting.
Well, I'm not sure how you tell people but honestly, I couldn't really imagine saying it is easy to educate someone who is not interested in one thing. Of course, you can just say - "hey you know Bitcoin? " Hey, this is what Bitcoin is all about". But what I was expecting from saying telling people is for them to understand clearly and educate them, not just by spreading the word Bitcoin without understanding. I could really assure you that no matter how good you are at telling people, rejections are really going to happen. I'm not afraid to be blamed but I just wanted that if I told someone, I was expecting that he would listen and follow what I say.
1073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: July 28, 2023, 02:21:23 PM
Being a responsible gambler is not a bad thing, and its necessary.
Imagine being too careless using your own hard earned money, that can be a big loss and frustrating.
We have to be more careful and consider every option to avoid big losses, if you can't gamble that much then don't do it. Don't be greedy, I know we all want to make money but in gambling, the more you rush it the more you lose the money. Just enjoy the process and enjoy the game, if you're lucky enough profit will come.
As long as we stick to our limitations, gambling is not a bad thing to do. But when it comes to the moment that we are spending more time and money, that was a sign that we are close to addiction. Addiction was not enjoyable anymore, we can never feel happiness if we win but what is on our minds is to win more - greediness had come. And the more we chase to win, the opposite things happen and we lose more. It is really all about proper budgeting which most gamblers fail to follow.
1074  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto EGG Meme Run to $1 on: July 28, 2023, 01:46:11 PM
I can't argue with you OP since that was your thought about this project but can't force us to believe your assumptions because meme coins can't be trusted nor it was a good investment. Whether it reaches $1 but it was not enough to change my mind from thinking that these meme projects are worthless. I was a long-term holder and I only invest in projects that have the potential long-term, not just in a few days and it will go.

You can do whatever your want but you can't expect that the majority will support your promotion.
1075  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin trading and gambling on: July 28, 2023, 01:17:26 PM
Are you saying that the bitcoin is base on luck?, if you are trading with bitcoin and have an investment on it you know how does it works first before you make your move because there's no person in a right mind make an investment to the things they don't know it's just like giving a free money, committing on it must need to have a knowledge and understanding so those information can serve to you as a guide and lesson what are the next thing you need to do, unlike gambling just a click away you are trying to risk without assurance if your winnings. It's a knowledge versus luck game with your statement of Bitcoin is like gambling.
Supposedly you are right but unfortunately, there are still a lot of people who are doing this. They invest blindly, they put money into scam projects and into investments that promise huge ROI but in the end, they got nothing other than losing their money. Usually, we become confident that investing in Bitcoin is just easy because that is what we usually heard from influencers. Well, we just know it was wrong when we are in actuality. Because trading can never be called Gambling, not in the sense that we are not relying on luck but we are working hard to earn and succeed.
1076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: July 28, 2023, 10:55:03 AM
Now we have 2 games which is in first game rain or shine vs meralco bots and we are all know that rain shine has a good standing they have the 8-2 which means they have a good record and their lineups is also good. And for Meralco we all know about them they can dominate any team once they have the momentum in the early quarter. So this is a good matchup between meralco and rain or shine.

It looks like Rain or Shine vs. Meralco Bolts is having a close game now. The 2nd quarter has ended and Meralco is leading by 5 points. This game is going to be fun to watch as both teams have a good standing. However, if you compare these two in the regular season, Meralco Bolts are the better team. But being on tour, weaker teams are usually stronger, so my guess is that ROS will win.

Based on https://pba.ph/standings, they have a record of ;

ROS 8(W)-2(L)
Bolts 6(W)-4(L)

The Bolts are still leading, but it's just a 4-point game. Actually, ROS managed to win the 3rd quarter as they outscored the Bolts by 3 points (21-18). Either team could win here because, in most scenarios of a close game in the 4th quarter, it's hard to predict the winner. I'm wondering, what was the spread of this game? Did @bisdak manage to place a bet?
1077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 28, 2023, 09:03:40 AM
Now the question will pop out. Will this affect the future of Bronny, especially in a long-term position? Sure he has his father to back him up to be signed in teams where he has power but there will be doubts after this.

In terms of which team would sign him, I'm sure they'll consider the implications and take measures to protect their investment. So, there's nothing to worry about on their side. I'm more concerned about Bronny being able to play in the NBA, as it has always been his father's dream to play with his son.

Well, hopefully what happen is not a hindrance to his goal in the NBA.
1078  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just Another Good Source Of Motivation For You ... on: July 27, 2023, 11:28:25 PM
Because we never think about the future but rather choose to enjoy our life today and spend money as much as we can. Well, rich people can do that because they already have financial freedom and it was okay. But for those who are not, the idea of spending more on things that give back nothing like just spending on fancy things was a huge mistake. It was very unfortunate but can't force people to rethink their wrongdoings because what it is in their mind is that they only live once, - and they just wanted to enjoy and reward themselves for working hard even if it drains their savings.
1079  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading as a newbie - advice? on: July 27, 2023, 12:40:07 PM
Reading books and watching online tutorials, well, they are enough already to learn but it was much better to have a mentor that guides you for a few days in trading. If we have a friend who already has an experience in trading, we approach them and gain ideas. Because we can't be good enough in trading just having all of those stuff but having an experience would give us more learning and ideas. Generally, we usually got caught up in applying it in live trading, we usually fail because of our emotions.
1080  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time for bounties and airdrops as we near bull season on: July 27, 2023, 11:51:06 AM
I couldn't imagine that there still a lot of people are relying on airdrops and thinking become lucky. In fact, so many discussions that talk about this and the response from hunters are the same - they get scammed, never paid, no value token.

Well, something we know is that developers usually launched their projects when the bull season is near. That is why we can see a lot of projects arise and offer rewards that could really attract hunters. Yet, we should also have to do research otherwise, we are wasting our time from them.
you might be stunned to see that there are so many people out there actually making their fortune out of airdrops, not to mention the latest arkham airdrops there were so many that gained massive money out of this by just simply having massive points from refferal and they already got paid thousands of dollars for that simple task, I think its all depends on your ability to determine which coin and token that are actually worth it to follow and for their tasks to be done and later get the rewards.
after all determining one that is of a good quality is quite hard enough.
I don't think they are so many but just a few hunters who have seen it and taken their time joining the program. Perhaps it was stunning to see some airdrops and developers that are good and give money to the participants but what we can say those huge number of hunters who are spending their time and promoting the projects but sadly get nothing in the end? Maybe I wasn't good at looking at them but I guess I don't want to do after participating in a lot of airdrops before and having no chance to sell them.
