1121  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John McAfee says he received call from Satoshi Nakamoto asking not to be reveal on: May 07, 2020, 07:12:04 AM
Really? again? He is saying that is about to reveal who Satoshi is, DÉJÀ VU, I've saw this so many times.
John McAfee said he not only knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is but he received a call from the creator of Bitcoin asking that his name not be revealed for fear of complications with the government and his personal safety.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/john-mcafee-knows-who-satoshi-nakamoto-is
These two great men really makes me feel sick, they are making so much noise in crypto world and I don’t believe on this one. John McAfee claimed that he’s Satoshi with a pending case on a court, well I don’t hear any news now about this case. Anyway, we heard so much news now about Satoshi and yet no one can prove who’s that guy even John McAfee so technically he’a just trolling.
Are you referring with Craig Wright? while reading your post maybe you are mentioning CW but you wrote JM, regarding to OP's post this just another way for JM to gather readers interest this such claims is really hard to justify. If Satoshi is concerned about his fear with the government probably he knows that the call might be tapped there's no chance that he will do this since the founder of bitcoin knew how to protect his identity.

Wherever you live, and whatever laws in your country, you are always better to keep quiet about your passion for gambling! People are absolutely everywhere bad attitude towards gamblers!

The bad sides of gambling are many ones of them just like you said, whenever people know that you are doing it constantly they will automatically name you as a gambler. being a gambler can be rough because you will not get anything from the people. no benefits no nothing and the worst part is, they will not trust you on what they have including things or any materials they're thinking you might sell their things to get some funds for gambling. Which is you now that it would never happen because they entrusted it to you. but you won't stop them from thinking that because the majority of gamblers who lost everything in gambling ended up in misery and lost their reasons to live their life with dignity.
In the eyes of other people especially those who are religious and conservatives playing gambling will attached you right away for being a gambler. Those people easily criticize you with your entertainment. Without knowing your side they are already judges you with your participations, it's needed to discreet yourself and not to allow anyone to know about your involvement to this kind of activities.

I guess most sports celebrities have their own hobbies aside from what they are already doing. It's not just MJ, there might be other celebrities, Manny Pacquiao has a cockpit farm and he is into cock fighting. I guess it is normal for them since they are earning a lot of money and losing some of it means nothing for them.
I agree, These athletes earn too much money in themselves that they just want to enjoy their earnings by playing some gambling games, The only thing is do they consider the risk of losing a game? Given the fact that they have a lot of money and they do have businesses that are running. I think it's the sake of their own entertainment or hobbies.
Most of those celebrities who are involved with gambling are spending time and money for entertaining purposes. Like MJ, Pacman also been involved and have some negative write ups regarding to his involvement into cockfight it can't be avoided since they've got reputations and many writers/reporters wanted to have publicities, writing articles who can attracts readers even it's only gossips just to have exposures.
1124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some People Cannot Stop The Urge To Sports Betting And Gamble Even In Pandemic on: May 06, 2020, 01:11:59 PM
Where is sports betting on that? cock fighting is not sports betting, well, a gambler will always find a way to gamble but they know they are violating the law and they will have to face the consequences of the action.  They got the support from the government and instead of spending it on their basic needs, they spend it on gambling, so it's not the responsibility of the government anymore if they can't survive in this pandemic.
Such action only shows that there are people who are really addicted to gambling, even risking their own lives just to gamble, imagine how those people were able to choose between saving the money and gambling and find luck. The virus keeps adding on affected individuals and the numbers are keeps on flowing. If those gamblers got infected because of their actions, they should not blame the government.
1125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You own a decent amount of Bitcoin, How would you increase it on: May 06, 2020, 11:07:20 AM
I would try to start trading it is the only way that I could increase my Bitcoin amount.
I don't like to invest in HYIP or even cloud mining sites since I have been scammed for so many times by those investment schemes.
If you don't have enough time for trading then you could always try to invest in some trusted gambling sites that is if you don't have any other things to do with your BTC.
 
Yes if you are interested with long term investment placing your money into gambling sites bankroll have a good potential and can be treated as passive income though the amount of shares are not that big but still considerable of you are concerned with increasing the amount of your assets. Also if you have time to study lending your Bitcoin is also a good way of increasing your money just don't forget to study every aspects that you need to learn before joining this business.
1126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Michael Jordan’s gambling history revisited. on: May 06, 2020, 09:56:55 AM

Pretty sure Jordan also had some bets on NBA or other sports, he just isn't "allowed" to talk about it.

I'm sure he has done that or continue doing that but he has a reputation to protect he can only talk about gambling where he can be on a safe side he cannot talk how big money he has lost from gambling, Jordan being the greatest of all time is being looked at by a lot of young people who wants to follow his footsteps, this is the reason why he is very discreet.
With that kind of fame he has behind his name, MJ needs to continue being discreet. If he is involved with this kind of activities, for sure he won't be careless as all eyes are on him. MJ, aside from being the most popular basketball player, is also a good businessman. He needs to make sure that whatever he take will not affect him both from his public and private life. This is the reason why famous personalities become depressed as they can't do things normally.

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1269862/ex-pba-player-who-cursed-at-pasig-frontliners-angers-vico-sotto/amp

Do you any idea who the ex PBA player it was? Lives in Greenpark, Pasig.

Live video can be see here.

I think it is Roger Yap, the former player of Purefoods and teammates with Marc Pingris.

Quote
Roger Yap meets with Mayor Vico to clear the air: 'I was misinterpreted'

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/roger-yap-meets-with-vico-sotto-to-clear-air-misinterpreted-a800-20200505?ref=home_featured_big

More details above.
With that article from spin.ph Roger Yap confirmed that he's the man the mayor was talking about, he admitted it but the allegations regarding to his badmouthing to the front-liners he cleared it up to the mayor he even ask the Mayor to have a face to face talk with those affected parties in order to settle the issue. He also mentioned his close relationship with the mayor's brother in-law as he's former teammate so he probably respect the mayor and all the good works that he's doing from the City.
1128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good time to buy some alt? on: May 06, 2020, 03:59:46 AM
I think this is not good time for altcoin. Because day by day altcoin are down. In my opinion hold BTC are best option. If you want altcoin I suggest you to buy Waves, Etc and BNB.
Yes, in terms of indeed holding BTC is a very appropriate choice for now, and even if you want to hold some Altcoin is also still good, as long as Altcoin is arrested it is Altcoin which already has a lot of volume as you mentioned and some others are LTC , ETH and BCD.
Bitcoin as main investment and some alts that have good potentials, if you are into long term investment best to have those alts that already inside top 20 from CMC, since there's always possibilities that history will repeat itself, while the amount of those alts still cheap from the ATH that they've got from the last pumped, holding assets where you probably understand the use gives you enough trust to hold for much longer time.
1129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some casino gambling tips. on: May 05, 2020, 02:07:20 PM
Those gambling tips that was given is really helpful, especially where we need to limit our budget because as a gambler we can't really tell when we should need to stop playing, even we already experience a lot of losses and wins. So we should only bring the exact amount of money that we only need to gamble for us to control ourselves and leave if we already lose that amount of money.

A simple rule which I followed is that you should always have a budget as you earn X amount and only can spend a certain percentage of X so keep that aside for the gambling. Once that amount is lost ten you cannot play further and if you win it then can play further or quit whatever you would like to wish. This has helped me a lot to stay away from getting carried away.




Good control with both emotions and capital are your lifesaver when you are dealing with gambling. Without proper management from both of this you are prone to addictions and losing a lots of money. Good control with how you spend your money either for entertainment or real gambling purposes for money making journey. Having a precise attitude with how you follow your limits will be the determining factor from your stay inside the house.
1130  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Brought Bitcoin in 2017 and sold in 2018 on: May 05, 2020, 12:52:58 PM
you might be unlucky from that time but im sure you are lucky on other times too or on other stuffs not just on crypto  and besides you are not the only one that bought btc that time but there are many people too 

People need to realize more that they were lucky if they bought anything in early 2017 and sold in late 2017 or early 2018. At least I know I was lucky I managed to get in and out of most coins (but also unlucky to get in some and never get out haha).

I keep saying, we're lucky and it's all about timing. Accept that, or think long term and invest in bitcoin as a multi-year project.

Precisely, those who bought before the huge rise happened early days of 2017 and able to sell out also in the early days of 2018, but if you bought it from the hyped and sell it out when dumped take place then for sure your loses are huge. In this kind of industry where volatilities are always present knowing the right timing will give you higher chances to earned. It's all about knowing the venue where you will going to place your investment.
1131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Before Experience On Gambling...!!!! Stay Safe. on: May 05, 2020, 11:58:46 AM
Your borderline going closer to addiction with that mate. Gambling is purely a form of entertainment at it's core, you have no need to put any more time in it than what it is normally needed. You have quite a lucky situation tbh, since your gf was beside you and managed to luckily advise you to stop early on. Those who weren't able to stop would surely just drop dead a few weeks after or maybe even start doing shady stuff just to manage their finances. Waking up in the middle of the night and wanting to gamble cause of that is already a sign tbh. I mean, anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night and wanted to do something would consider it as bad. Once or twice maybe it's fine, but if it were to happen multiple times per month, then better check yourself up before it turns into something much more worse.
Better to reassess than waking up that you are already addicted, things are very possible if you forget to assess and observe everything. Luck is not always going to be beside you and most of the time suffering from gambling addictions is next in line. Keep yourself busy from things that will allow you not to continue this and keep you busy and stay from how you treat gambling as source of entertainment.
1132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has this period killed your desire or exited it on: May 05, 2020, 09:31:58 AM
I wonder if everything would go back to normal as how it was. Our country is actually starting to adjust to what they call the "new normal", they started making divisions for all transportation, business establishments, sidewalks and etc. Experts say that CORONA will just like be any other disease and it will not vanish. So, I wonder how will people adjust in terms of casino and sports. Let's hope that there will be a vaccine for CORONA soon, because if what experts predicted is true, it will take time and it will be difficult to adapt.
The new normal would be bad for other business like the casino as the new normal means we will have to wear mask and must do the social distancing. For now this is the new normal but I think it is only temporary, we will be back to our old normal once the vaccine is ready, that's the only key.
The only way that everything will be back to normal is once the vaccine for this virus is already available until then social distancing and wearing mask
will continue to be there,  every individuals needs to comply since the government wanted to lessen the spread of this virus.
As soon as the lockdown got lifted without the vaccine it will be normal for us to see people wearing mask.
1133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why most gamblers can never hold onto big bag? on: May 05, 2020, 08:51:20 AM
How come he lost everything one day? Do most of the gamblers lose money in such way?
When it comes to playing, there are times that you will win, but we all know that after all those winning, you will suddenly lose because luck is not on your side everytime.
In this case, your friend might have face his losing streak and tried to take his losses back, unfortunately, your friend wasn't able to do that and end up losing all his money.
Gamblers who have huge bankroll most of the time thinks that they can comes out with decent profits, trying to keep playing while funds still doing great and some lucks gives them hint, but in the longer run those lucks start to fade and losing streaks begins to show up and with aggressive approach this gamblers will only realize that everything was gone and busted.
1134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 05, 2020, 05:06:25 AM
No, the season would not continue when there is no vaccine, so the organization are just being realistic with their plan, it's better to know what's coming and make a timely decision that let the fans expect on anything that would not likely to happen.

That's if a vaccine would take that long. Yeah, I agree on the cancellation of the 2020 season if vaccine take that too long as it'll deduct more the potential of spreading the virus as we know there are a lot of PBA fans that want to watch a game live.

With this lockdown people /fans are already excited if the commissioners will resume the game they will be there at the arena to watch live. There's no guarantee that they can sort all those possible affected person to enter the place because even there's no sign of a virus the chance of carrying it is really risky.
We can extend the wait than risking fans health it will also help the government to lessen the casualties of this pandemic virus.
1135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 04, 2020, 11:46:06 AM
We still have plenty of time, we can still remain positive although the rate is still increasing now. PBA provides entertainment for the Filipino people who loves basketball but them cancelling the season is due to a big valid reason, we will accept if they'll do. Total cases in the Philippines is close to 10,000.. everyday there's an increase, only quarantine would be the solution for now.
There's no option if the government insist that this kind of gatherings still prohibited  the commissioners needs to follow. It's really alarming since the numbers of affected people are still increasing while the government are planning to ends up the lockdown till May 15.
It's acceptable in case until August the affected numbers are not doing any better.
1136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming and Mobile Sport Betting May Be Legal After Covid-19 End??? on: May 04, 2020, 08:51:41 AM
During this pandemic where countries and cities are on lockdown online gambling has a great profit for people who can't go to the casino houses to play and because of that gamblers started to adapt this for their safety and health regardless if it is legal to their country or not.

The reason why the government legalized gambling or casino houses is that it is part of our culture that helps us lessen our stresses and government earn from these casinos through collecting tax. As of now where gamblers are into the online casino because of the pandemic and government started to lose funds as they use it to support their citizen during lockdown then when the time comes and they need to have funds again they might consider legalizing online casinos as well so they might get tax from these type of business. It will be better to legalize these online casinos not only for the government but also for us who want to play gambling safely, IMO.
Gambling business really brings additional funds to the government, there's no question about the help that this business are providing in terms of taxes, instead of prohibiting people and let them play illegally the government choose to legalized and gain benefits from this business.

After this pandemic crisis more and more places from the world will consider this especially those who are in need, the more access to earned additional funds the better to restart the economy.
1137  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH could reach $440 if bullish on: May 04, 2020, 08:31:45 AM
This year it is quite real that ETH can rise to a price of $440, the most important thing is that Bitcoin grows, because if Bitcoin does not grow, then ETH will follow Bitcoin and therefore also will not grow.
Now the entire market is dependent on Bitcoin and surely ETH will soon reach $500 by the end of this year if the situation looks better.

Of course now is a difficult time because the market is constantly volatile and the value of Bitcoin is often unstable can make you lose more money. One way or another, I believe that ETH is still a good option for investors during this period.
In long term investment, ETH still have the capabilities to progress though we are still experiencing unstable market conditions but if you are aiming for long run, the  chance to see the market to recover and bring out the best still possible once the entire economy blooms back and the investors and traders feel the comfort back to the market crypto industry will bounce back and together with bitcoin ETH will also rise back.
1138  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto giveaway scams and how to spot them on: May 04, 2020, 07:07:46 AM
I haven't see any good and real crypto giveaway for sometime, and i think it won't be exist for now.
There are many fake gievaways on youtube, the scammers are still trying to scam peoples there.
We should be very careful when we need to send our money for get multiple comebacks, most of them are fake.
They target beginners who just enter into the Crypto world, usually beginners are easy to believe when lured in with a Giveaway. The scammers send via email then when someone clicks on the phishing email link, important data will be successfully stolen. I hope beginners to be extra careful about this.
That kind of dangers are prone to every beginners, extending your knowledge in order not to easily be penetrated is a good way of securing your important informations. This kind of giveaways really provide luring rewards and if you are not doing your research the chance for you to be attracted is also possible, be diligent to review and analyze don't quickly believe or if much possible stay away from such activities.
1139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 04, 2020, 01:20:22 AM
He already serve the country and giving chances to new young stars are better instead of placing yourself into international competitions where speed is really needed. He's mentality is not replaceable but he's not getting any younger and new players coming from other countries will add more difficulty for him to stand up, he should now focus with his local career before retiring his jersey. He will continue be known as Asia's best point guard.

I agree with that, maybe he needs to give it to the young stars, castro have already proven himself, they were able to qualify in the FIBA world, that's a big achievement already since we are not really good competing with the big guys or big teams in the FIBA world, that's why to qualify is such a big achievement already.

It's not appropriate to say that Castro should give a chance to young players because after all, he doesn't control it. Choosing a Gilas All-Star player is done by the agreement of coaches and management. If they lack players on the position, there are times that the national team called help for veterans like Jimmy Alapag and Asi Taulava did since the preferred ones are under a strict rule of the management or should I say, rights.

Team management of PBA should not be selfish if the nationals want to choose a player. But since Castro does have a replacement, I think the current pool is looking good.

The player will have the say in the end whether he will play or not, in the case of Castro, he hasn't played in the last FIBA, not sure if that time he is still under suspension, but let's see in the next FIBA if he will be available, the way Castro talk that he wants to win a championship before he retires, looks like he is planning an early retirement to maybe focus on his family and his business.
If my memory is correct he didn't play due to health condition, and I agree players still have the final say as the coaches and management of PH team will send invitations to those players that they've think was qualified for the criterias that they are looking.

In regards to Castro, he served the country with his best nothing to ask from him.
1140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has this period killed your desire or exited it on: May 04, 2020, 12:43:08 AM
No need. Is the sports industry already gone for years? It just takes a break but it will return.
Some can't hold on now, so they will change, but not us because we know sports betting gives more excitement than other kind of games.
I can take a break for now, this break has been long due and thanks it happen but I would not think it because of the covid-19, we got to evaluate our plans now, check our mistakes so once the sports will resume we are more than ready again, TO WIN Grin

Improving your strategy by learning from your past mistakes, reviewing all the things that you've made and make a good adjustment so once the sports house are open again applying and testing your new strategy will add more excitement while waiting for the outcome.
This break coming from the industry gives everyone enough time to study more deeper regarding to their favorite sports gambling.
