As an investor, we also know how to assess whether the project can really be trusted or if they are capable enough to keep their promise.
Many people have fallen into scam projects because lack of research and less experience, but I see it was not the reason. Many are getting blind when seeing huge rewards and taking the bait from these scammers.

If we aim for earning a profit, we better stay away from new projects but instead, go buy Bitcoin and potential altcoins then we are safe.

Carrying my bag from airport to airport, no seriously. Why would I sell at loss?

Besides that I have good altcoins in my bag so I have no worries. I'm sure they will go up again in next bull run.
Depending on what kind of altcoins you are holding the strategy that you need to adopt will have to change, if you are holding good altcoins as you claim then you really do not have any reason to sell them now as if you are willing to hold for the long term not only you will recover your money but you will even make profits, however for someone holding bad altcoins then it is critical that they sell as soon as possible as even if they will lose money by selling now they will lose even more money if they keep holding.
Many people don't understand the importance of choosing good or potential altcoins for investment, mostly considering the price and looking for the cheapest one. And that is why they easily get disturbed and get panic when seeing price decline as these coins suffered the most dump.
Because if we are smart investors, we'd never choose projects that give us losses but, of course, those projects that will assure us some profit. But this is also impossible if we never learn how to hold and how to become patient.

Despite the fact that Siakam was able to get around his countryman in scoring, this did not help Toronto beat Philadelphia. Thus, their winning streak increases to five victories, well, this is a very good result after three losses in a row.
76ers are in a winning streak while the Raptors are suffering the opposite.
They need to start winning or else their chances in the playoffs will drop, as for the latest standing, they are already in rank 10 with 6 losing streak, that's not good to be honest.


And the Lakers still can't find their game, Davis and Westbock are injured and it's having too much of an impact on the team.

They need a healthy Davis and Westbrook for this team to succeed, they will struggle without the star players.

@YuginKadoya, bad day for you, 1 out 3, not so good. OKC was playing like a playoff team, they have the composure to win games as they have their main man who is also a clutch player. That's the game I suppose to win because I was thinking there will be an upset,  unfortunately, I chickened out when I check the stats, LOL.

The easiest game last night IMO was the Suns spread, they totally dominated the Lakers.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 19, 2022, 09:07:12 AM
congrats @jakelyson, your parlay won, it was not easy watching this game because they didn't win easily especially the Lakers and Brooklyn who had a tough match ups. Well, a win is still a win and that's what matters in the game. Sorry for me because I took the opposite, I'm more on the underdog parlay, so better luck next time for me.
That was a sure win parlay, hehe, 3 team parlay @2.58, that's a good one although I'm sure it makes him nervous a bit. It's good that Nets were able to comeback, I though they will lose because of fatigue, but they still continue winning which is now are in a 6 win streak. Also, their ranking has improve, currently ranked now at number 4 in the East.

Golden State defeated Toronto 126-110 in the match that stephan curry did not play, and it was their 3rd away win this year. Jordan Poole was the star of the game with 43 points in Golden State. Draymond Green and Klay Thopmson also contributed to the win. Los Angeles Lakers also managed to beat the Washington Wizards at home, albeit hard. Anthony Davis did not play in this match due to injury. LeBron James was the architect of the victory with 33 points.
I wish we will see that kind of consistency from Poole, honestly, I didn't expect them to win because of their bad performance in their previous game, but it was so surprising that they not only beat the Raptors, but they also dominated them. Poole is just inconsistent, that's why it's hard to trust the Warriors, it's good to trust them if they are a heavy underdog just like their game against the Raps.
That's the old Poole, and that's the reason why he was given a max contract by the Warriors. For those who are thinking that Poole should be traded, you guys are wrong because when Curry will retire, they have Poole to take his place as their main man. That's a badly needed win and they have a good one on the road, so congrats to the team and for those who bet on the moneyline.

We can hype and do our job but if they are not interested nothing will happen. Spence and Crawford claimed that they are the best fighter in the world in their division but are afraid to fight each other, maybe they are just trying to make the bad negotiation and excuse on why the fight did not push through. How long do we have to wait? I hope Spence will lose so no more Spence vs Crawford hype.

Record is more important to them than proving and clearing the doubt of anyone who is in doubt of their real boxing skills, obviously, one of them is afraid and cannot risk his record against a potential and formidable opponent that has the same chance of winning against them. If this was the 90s, then we have already seen this fight years ago and they could have been in their trilogy if they had a great fight against each other but these days boxers that are having clean records are afraid to lose and risk it against a fighter of their level.

They could make a lot of money if they will fight because it will certainly go to a trilogy fight if it will be a very competitive fight. That's why fans wants to see this fight because we know it's going to be a very exciting fight, but it seemed like their ambition to stay undefeated is more important than the happiness of the fans and the money they'll make.

Well, I understand why they are delaying it, because if a fighter losses a fight, his value will go down, look at Joshua, he is not anymore one of the best fighters in the heavy weight division because he losses twice against a fighter less popular than him.
1208  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My advice If you are here to make money on: December 16, 2022, 10:38:26 AM
Few years ago people here in Bitcointalk are staying away from futures. Now I see an increasing number of profitable future traders here in Bitcointalk. May I know how what is your win rate for example in 20 trades or 10 trades how many are wins and loss (liquidated or hit by stop loss)?
I think that's because people back in time are still a noob but many years have past and these people already gain a lot of experience and knowledge. They are now ready to engage in harder things but I think there are also a good number of newbies who join in.
This is why I don't blame newbies for their fault but rather help them to understand how this happened because it was the same experience we did before. Fortunately, we learn from our mistakes and make good trades after. But those who never change their way will remain failures in their goals. 
Quote
This is very alarming but if there is no way to stop them then they themselves can once they incur a big loss in a short period of time. Before we engage in the real thing, it's important to practice first using the demo version. Once you saw that your wins are more than your losses then maybe that is the time to take baby steps in the real thing by using small capital. Increase it only once your results mostly win.
Therefore, we let these people learn from what they are doing now and hope for a change someday. Because I believe that their experience teaches and guides them to the right path. If we are in trading for several months and still suffering big losses, it was an indication that this is not for us. In some cases, we also have to accept that this field isn't for us and that we need to give up and look at what is best for us.
1209  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are the Whales Control bitcoin price? on: December 16, 2022, 09:56:53 AM
Whales are the largest mammals in the world and also the most powerful investors in this crypto market and have been around long before bitcoin or crypto existed, and whales play on people's emotions and use the opposite of what most people do and think.
when people are scared, they buy because most people are selling. And conversely when there is greed they sell because most people buy and a lot of people and small investors hate this but this is a part of this industry that is not going away.
Whales are just doing their side what is good for them and so are these sellers. Perhaps, we can never expect that everyone is meant to hold but some will just sell and whales are taking the opportunity to buy their coins. We know that manipulation exists in the market but actually, not only whales are benefiting from this but also small investors and holders got shares from it. I'd never think they are greedy, they only just did what is good for them.
1210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is crypto staking? Is staking worth it? on: December 15, 2022, 09:46:14 PM
Nowadays staking doesn't seem to be profitable at the moment, this is just my opinion. But if you are a long-term holder, you can do this, and at least the assets you put in can grow.
Depends. What if the price of token you bought is at very low and you are only staking it? Of course that would be profitable even the pricr drop and still you have a lot of tokens to gain. Of course its the price of token that we are basing the income but we should consider the quantity we get when we do staking. Its also good way to do dca without actually buying but earning through the staked tokens that you had locked.
But once your toke is locked for staking, you can no longer add in them for the same rate. If you are staking for 1000%APY, that is really a lot of money if it becomes true but sometimes, it turns like a nightmare as it never happens, yet they scam you. I'd rather choose coins for staking that gives me at 5%APY as it becomes possible but the profit is small.

That is why I'd never think that staking gives us a passive income, it somehow gives some while holding which is also great.
1211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: December 15, 2022, 05:17:46 PM
They keep ignoring the potential Casimero match which makes his undisputed title cause a lot of comment. I really hope that the fight between this 2 impressive boxer will happened next year.

That is a big possibility now since Inoue has nothing to proved in the bantamweight and shows intention to go up in super bantamweight and continue because he said that he want to get another belt in the new division and planning to unify it as well. But Casimero will be in this track this time.

Casimero is going to be a challenger for Inoue, although Inoue had some success in bantamweight division, but when he will move, he would not fight a champion right away, so no other fighter that could give Inoue a real challenge but Casimero. I'm confident that it will happen because Casimero will never stopped challenging Inoue and the beast will leave no option but to accept it.
1212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The reason Dogecoin could fail in the future on: December 14, 2022, 09:48:32 PM
Actually it doesn't have any goal to achieve, the creator of the project sold it a long before so its a coin take over by influence and manage to survive for years so in future we don't know what's the status of Elon Musk regarding Dogecoin so its good for short term and no coin other than bitcoin looks safe when it comes to very long term holding.
That is really true...Dogecoin has been overly manipulated and controlled, shilled by an influential personality and it was the reason why it survives. But what really happens if they pull out their support into this project? Yet, no matter what we do and even having the current condition of this project the future will remain unpredictable. But never I think it will fail instantly and turn into a scam like Luna and many others. We know that Dogecoin is here for many years and that was already an unbeatable existence.
1213  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving one third what you earn monthly is not that hard, isn't it ? on: December 14, 2022, 09:19:39 PM
If you are in twenties or early thirties and remain single, earn $3,000 after tax per month, you will probably save $1,000 if you, let's say, spend $500 to $800 on rental, a guest bedroom in a shared house/apartment, $500 on food, $50  on utilities, $150 on phone/internet bills, $400 on commuting costs or gas/maintainance if you have a used car, $200 on occasional entertainment or others. This $1,000 savings will allow you to invest or place a house down payment when time is ripe. Is this possible based on where you live ?
If you have the motivation to hold and are very concerned about the future, this is not impossible. But if you never think about preparing for the future, never expect saving can be one of the priorities. It certainly depends on the person who has been looking for a better future and very unfortunate that many people wanted to do but also fail because they never look it was important until such time they need money on time.

If saving 1/3 of the salary per month is difficult, maybe saving 10% is not hard. It was pretty small but at least we save something.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo on: December 14, 2022, 10:42:02 AM
And as far as I can remember, they used the Jones vs Tyson rule here so there is judges who score the fight.

But obviously, Manny is holding some power and let DK Yoo hit him in the face. And there maybe moments in the fight wherein Manny just wanted to knock him out for good.

In the end it was a successful debut for Manny in the exhibition matches and then he is off to the kingdom of Saudi of Arabia for his next fight.

If Manny ended that fight early, no one would fight him anymore in the next exhibition fight. He is just doing his job, the words "exhibition fights" purpose have lived in that fight. Fans are entertained, and everybody was happy because even Yoo lose in that fight, he would still benefit as he becomes more popular, and still makes good money.

So, is there any rumor on who would Manny fight next?
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: December 14, 2022, 10:19:23 AM

Although the rumored date is supposedly December 17, this is not going to happen.

They could have agreed that the best scheduled could be next year.

There's no time, they should have confirmed already so they will start having a tour to market the fight. If this fight will be realized, most likely it will happen in the 1st quarter of next year. I heard that it's mandatory, so there's no need to worry, we will eventually witness this fight, but of course there's no assurance when, so we have no choice but to wait for the formal announcement.

As you may know by now, Spence was in another car accident, although he is not injured, he is complaining about some pain in his legs.

So don't be surprised if the fight might push a bit next year because of this incident. And this could be good for Thurman though as he will have more time in preparing for this fight. Wait for the final announcement, maybe if Spence is fully healed we might hear the fight finally happening in the 1st quarter of next year.

It's not about the preparation as they will be given enough time to prepare for this fight. If this would happen next year, then it's still okay as long as it will not let us wait too long, 1st quarter is good enough, I'm sure that's enough time for Spence to recover as well.
1216  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hello i want to make traders dream come true on: December 13, 2022, 10:38:23 PM
Op seems to have to build a portfolio before getting people to trade with the signals he creates. because anyone can easily claim that they are a professional trader and advise beginners to follow them.
The signal is just a text "ar/usdt tp target= moon", I can also write BNB/usdt tp target: moon . it's very easy to make this kind of thing, even making dozens of analyzes will be very fast.
Only beginners will believe me because they still don't know the basics of trading and how it works.
That is was I thought and it was very common today to scam people by making such things, as self-proclaimed best traders which in real life is not.
I'm worried about newbies who usually got fooled and fall into this kind of trick. Signal groups have not intended to help beginners but to benefit them by simply asking for money from following their signals(paid signals).

I'm not sure if OP could get support from his post when most of us already have bad views against signals. Perhaps, they can't be trusted anyway.

Does anyone here day trade crypto successfully whilst working a full time job?

Those of you with normal jobs, are you day trading or mainly long term crypto investors/ HODLers?!!
I'm working full-time, 8 hours a day, and still trading. But what I observed is really hard to be in trading without enough time to check the market and mostly I indeed up losing. And I realized that I have to do trading only if I have enough time and during my off, yes it was more effective than what I did before. Trading requires time and focus, that is why if you are doing this make sure you have a good environment and your attention is only on the computer, otherwise, you will just lose your money.

Do you have some free live streaming here?  Smiley

I think this fight will be in a few hours from now, this is the biggest fight of Inoue, so we should not miss this one. I would be very appreciative if someone would be able to share some links, that way we will all enjoy watching the fight and to find out if our prediction is correct or wrong.

Inoue 4-6 rounds at 3.60, this one is good too.
1219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 13, 2022, 07:03:49 AM
Big win by the Clippers, I'm surprised, it was not even a close game. A 20 points win from the home team, and they are even the underdog. Also, it seemed like Leonard is already back, he was very efficient in this game contributing 25 pts, 6 assts, and 9 rebounds.

This is a scary team, with Leonard getting 100% soon, this team is gonna be a great contender of winning the NBA championship.

Celtics already suffered a two losing streak, 1 from the Warriors, now against the Clippers.

They become popular last year but it was over when the Bull season is done. Therefore, I'd just think that investors haven't seen the usable value of NFT in the market and for the community. Meaning, these projects are even not useless but they are turned down badly like ICO and IEO.
Many people made a huge profit last year but for now, they almost got nothing. Projects that are made during the hypes will never last long and this is what happens to NFTs.
