1181  Economy / Economics / Re: What could Elon Musk be buying next? on: June 29, 2023, 12:55:44 PM
Elon who was on the internet for having agreed to a fight with Mark Zuckerberg is one of the worlds billionaires with a networth that's more than Mark's Metaverse.

He has followed a trend of acquiring some of the world's top assets in form of largest shares and ownership of the companies.

In 2021 he purchased huge BTC, in 2022 he acquired Twitter. This is 2023 and he is yet working on huge space exploration project to Mars among others like Neuralink, the boring company, Tesla.

My question is, what big purchase could we see Elon Musk likely make this year?
Well, I don't care about their money competition but I was concerned about Elon Musk's participation in the upcoming bull season. Though we never know what his plan but I was sure that his support for Dogecoin remains. Might he is investing in Bitcoin now but I feel he has no interest in pumping it rather than expect he would do it to meme coins. He can manipulate the market if he wants but something it was not easy just like before because people had already learned of what he did in the past.
1182  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: June 29, 2023, 11:54:35 AM
Supposing a fight were ever to take place(which I think it would never take place), I would pick Mark to have a win over Elon. Both men practice different and separate martial art styles and are supposedly good at it too. Mark is younger and he's more fit than Elon is. The fight would probably be a short one as Mark would probably win by either a submission or a KO. Lol.

I had no idea that both of them knew martial arts. Perhaps it's already a requirement for them considering their wealth and the need to protect themselves. However, if this fight were to happen, wouldn't they be risking their health or even their lives? Anything could happen, and we understand how important these individuals are in our lives today.

So what's the betting odds? Grin

No odds yet but I do think DYIP would still be the underdog on the second game while the first game will be even more or less.
What was the reason, mate? I believe Ginebra won their last game, so they should have gained confidence for this one. While DYIP may have had a good run, Ginebra possesses the heart of a champion. If they end up being the underdogs, I wouldn't miss the opportunity to bet on them.

Let's say that DYIP is in full force while Ginebra is not. In fact, Ginebra is missing their starters due to their commitment to our national team. Therefore, DYIP actually has a decent chance of winning, which is why bisdak40 considers them the favorites. However, it still remains to be seen. Let's wait for the betting odds to conclude.

The future of meme coins is uncertain and risky. While some meme coins have gained popularity and market value, thanks to celebrity endorsements (such as Elon Musk) or viral marketing campaigns, many of them also face challenges such as lack of development, security issues, regulatory scrutiny, or market manipulation4. Some meme coins may even be outright scams that aim to defraud unsuspecting investors.
Because of these influential people's endorsement, meme coins gain popularity but this is not the reason why we should have to choose them for investment, it should be because of the use case. Unfortunately, meme coins don't have and so there is no reason why keeping them. Well, we know that many people got a profit from the hyped that these meme coins have made but if we are considering them as for long-term investment, that was absolutely a big mistake.
1185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Return Of Terra Luna Classic on: June 28, 2023, 09:28:02 PM
I don't think it catches attention again knowing its history of a big scam that the team does, nobody will be able to take the risk and lose their money. Instead, they will just ignore them no matter what they have offered. It was enough that the team give losses to the investors in the past and I believe that most of us have learned already which gives me confidence that nobody will fall into this project again.

Perhaps, they don't have a reason to come back, I think if they want, then better to use another name for the project, not Terra Luna otherwise, they will still fail to convince people.
1186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: June 28, 2023, 12:12:32 PM

Fortunately, I didn't  Grin. I just don't see any reason for them to win with the line-up they had in this tournament, they might be winless when this PBA-On-Tour ends. Even with the handicap, i seriously that they will cover the spread, Meralco might blow them away. ATM, the score 78-89 in favor of Meralco.

NLEX +4.5 @1.86 vs SMB
NLEX ML @2.5 vs SMB

^^ My bets, and there's a high chance that NLEX might win the game tonight against the struggling Beermen.

edit:

Meralco won by an 18-point margin, 108-90, and covered the spread as well.
Good luck on your NLEX bet. They are currently leading the game, which gives a relaxing feeling while watching. TNT doesn't seem to have any plans of winning a game; they might end up winless in this Tour games, but it doesn't matter to them since this is off the record for the regular season.

Based on past results, it's often a good strategy to bet on underperforming teams during the regular season
1187  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Luck is what you need in gambling but you have to get to work with trading on: June 28, 2023, 11:51:01 AM

Trading is not gambling. You require luck in gambling but you require work in trading.

What is your thought.
Having no experience and knowledge from trading, you will simply think that it is all about luck like how gambling does. But this will eventually change once have an experience and there to find out that trading never works as we like if we don't work on it. In fact, we have these trading tools as necessary which we don't use in gambling and that is because the two are different things.
Until there are people who got into trading without product trading education, luck is always on their mind and their actions.

Maybe seeing Paul and Steph starting at the same time.
There is a possibility that this approach would help Curry conserve his energy, as they would already have a facilitator, while he and Thompson focus on finding open shots. It would result in a smaller lineup, but adjustments can always be made.

I thought CP3 would lead the second unit. It would be risky for him to play as a starter, considering his tendency to get injured again with increased minutes. CP3's current value lies primarily in his leadership abilities, as he is no longer the consistent playoff performer who could put up significant numbers. That's just my perspective.
1189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: June 28, 2023, 09:16:16 AM

He has no choice though but to get to Donaire. Same with Donaire, he was tearing the division and fighting young boxers and getting the belt. But in the end they have crossed path and as that Donaire was at a disadvantage because he lost his belt again. Nevertheless, he will have another chance to win it because he will be fighting for the belt, while Inoue will do it but in different weight class as he will challenge Fulton for his 2 belt.

What we witnessed in the fight was a real competition, the fight between the best versus the best. Hopefully, we will also see the same in a different division, where champions don't evade fights against opponents they think could defeat them just to maintain their undefeated record.

Donaire was a great example of a true champion, as he was well aware that Inoue could beat him again, and yet he still risked a unification match to test himself against Inoue once more.
1190  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think it's still wrong selling properties for Bitcoin? on: June 27, 2023, 09:37:58 PM
I personally would not be too pushy to take this risk just to invest in bitcoin. I have a few pieces of land and some gold to use for jewelery but when I want to invest I tend to keep my budget low rather than selling other assets to get my budget together. Of course I can expect returns, but I can't take risks like this.


Perhaps, it was a smart idea. In fact, it was stated many times that "Only invest the amount that we can afford to lose". This obviously tells us what we gonna do and stepping behind this will certainly create a huge risk on our part. Selling is not the best option, maybe on the part of OP because he is filthy rich, he never feels any regrets or worries in his decision but for us who think about our finances, that is different. Of course, we choose the best thing for us even though we are risk-takers but it won't exceed our limits.
1191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: June 27, 2023, 11:32:31 AM
One disadvantage though for Inoue is that this is a new weight class for him, and he didn't take a tune up fight, but instead he directly goes to the champion in Stephen Fulton. Yes we have seen how destructive he is in the bantamweight, but as the saying goes, maybe he swallow more than he can chew here in facing a American boxer in Fulton.
Though it could be considered a disadvantage, I see it only as a slight one. Inoue is already a destructive fighter, and he may not need to add a significant amount of weight for this new weight class. However, let's see if he can truly live up to the expectations of many, considering that Inoue is currently in his prime.

I wouldn't say that Donaire is lucky to have a rematch with Inoue, Nonito has the WBC belt that time and Inoue wanted to unify. So Donaire earn that rematch, it's not that he has been given that because of his stature. On the contrary, if you think about who is lucky, it is Inoue here because he bypass everyone in the rankings to face the champion as he move up in weight.
Or perhaps he was fortunate because he knew he could defeat Donaire, making it another easy path to claim a belt.

I hope kabayan that after this mini-tourney i would end profitable hehe but not expecting too much though.

If you don't expect to be profitable, it means you are not fully confident in what you are doing. Treat it as a serious journey rather than just for fun. Track your progress and outcomes—it's a good start towards becoming a professional sports bettor someday.
1193  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Teacher and Classmates Labeling Bitcoin as a Ponzi Scheme or a Scam on: June 26, 2023, 09:57:28 PM
Your nephew owes nobody any explanation. If he doesn't know what to say, tell him to tell them that Bitcoin is not a scam or a ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme is when a person or group offers an investment that promises extremely high returns with minimal risk. What happens is that earlier investors receive money from later investors, and the system continues in this way with a constant cash flow and a constant influx of new investors to pay off the old ones. There is no other way for the system to make money other than by luring in new investors, and systems of this nature invariably collapse.
Ignoring them is the best thing to do rather than arguing with them as for sure they won't listen but insist on their wrong ideas. These kinds of people really exist and that is also because of the wrong information and scam news that drags the name Bitcoin. Some scammers use Bitcoin and tricked innocent people and that is why they blame Bitcoin because of that scenario.

Pretty hard to make arguments with these people but showing them how you make money from a legal investment will enlighten their minds. But of course, we don't have to force them but instead, let them realize that they are wrong with their assumptions and that not all they heard are true.
1194  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your honest review of the Demo account? on: June 26, 2023, 09:35:31 PM
We are free and eligible to try out with the use of trading demo account if we are learning as a beginner and also can recommend such for those we already know are coming new to the trading of bitcoin in cryptocurrency, this has a widespread opportunities to make us get familiar with trading when we having a training ground of such with the use of a trading demo account, it's also a means to help us avoid mistakes while trading in some particular aspect we may not easily get used to apprehend while trading.
Yes, it was just a training tool helping us to learn to trade and we benefit from that as we can apply the learning we got from it in actual trading. But it doesn't mean that it was enough, we learn more when we are in actual trade. More challenging and can really feel how hard is trading when you are new to the market, and you can really be saying that what you have got from the demo account is just a first step of learning how to trade because true learning is when you are using your real money and feel the disappointment when you lose.
1195  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic problem, why is fiat difficult to hold. on: June 23, 2023, 09:31:24 PM
Why is money at hand difficult to hold? I usually find it difficult to keep track of money anytime I have cash at hand, I make plans to hold money, but It never stays because something always demands the money, it is even so bad now that money kept in my account is also now being affected due to expenses. This is not something that happens to only me, ...
Money is created to spend, not to keep. If that money is in your hands now, it is certainly be gone after a few hours because it was designed to be like that. In fact, if you would imagine if all people are holding their money, how they would survive without spending? We hold money and save it but it doesn't mean that we don't have to spend it anymore. In fact, rich people don't hold money, they use it to multiply and make more money, that is exactly how it works.
1196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 23, 2023, 12:53:46 PM

I guess most people gamble to feel some short of special sensation of thrill while the game is on and similar sensation if they win. Other than that, gambling has been there for ever, so my question would be why would people stop gambling, since it is a millenary tradition, documented pretty much since the beginning of history and records of the humankind.
Some are just a sort of support to their team, especially if we are in sports betting. That is what they are doing before. But talking about gambling in casinos these days, no other reason than want to multiply their money.

Some say it was a pleasure, well, that was for rich people but for the average one, that something a way to earn money. Unfortunately, it doesn't go that way, terrible losses usually happen. That was discouraging but yes, once you got hooked up into a thing we called "addiction", losses are not a big deal, we can make more of that.
1197  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price hitting 30k twice this year. on: June 23, 2023, 12:31:57 PM
Bitcoin price is on it again after a few drop in price at around 25-26k, but hitting the price value of 30k again as it did sometime April this year. What I describe as a gleams of the prospective light at the end of the tunnel of the year 2023.

What are your thoughts on this spontaneous rise again in the price of BTC hitting 30k twice just within the first quarter of 2023. Do you you think it's going to plummet again or do better above 40k? Or is just one of a tempting rise to fall again even below the 25k-26k it did for the past weeks after hitting 30-31k around the month of April?
Please share your thoughts about this.
Well, I'd never seen yet the strong market position of Bitcoin but still, I was in good faith and believed that this year we are able to see the price of Bitcoin hitting back at $35k. Of course, I don't expect the market will turn bullish, no, but at least seeing its price surpassing $25k is a sign that we are moving forwards and building recoveries slowly. As to the moment that halving comes and done, the Bull run is what we believe to come next. And that is likely to happen next year. So I guess, we need to extend our patience till next year otherwise, it was a fail test.
1198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trump Coin ($dtc) is starting to move. on: June 23, 2023, 12:11:14 PM
I would say it was a scam project as I don't expect someone like Trump would be able to create his own cryptocurrency.

That is why we never heard any hyped about this project as all the investors also are doubts the capability of this project as well. Of course, if you are doing research, you will also find that this project is not worth investing in, but instead a waste of money. So no reason to get crazy about this project even though it was named by an influential person.

I buy, Hold, and Sold - that was my strategy since before and it was profitable. Should I have to change this? I don't think so...
So matter what will happen -FUDs, dumps, and Ups, I keep doing the same because I have nothing to change knowing that this strategy gives me profit already.

Honestly, what makes people become successful in crypto is not only because of the strategies but also how they respond to market changes. It is all about investment management, well part of this are - decision making, strategies, and actions. And it all lies in our hands individually.
1200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: June 23, 2023, 10:16:45 AM
I recently checked my favorite sports bookies and it seems that Donaire is the favorite and Santiago almost 3:1 underdog?

I thought it could be closer though, but I guess even at his age, Donaire can still fight and that's why they put him as a big favorite here.
There's no need to be surprised by that, as Alejandro Santiago is only ranked number 4 based on the stats that were shared earlier. It is expected that Donaire would easily win this fight. However, since there is no assurance that Donaire will emerge victorious, perhaps Santiago's fans might view it as an opportunity to potentially earn more money if the young Santiago manages to defeat the older Donaire.
