I could assume that everyone knows the reason why Bitcoin is recommended to buy - not I say ONLY.
Altcoins also have potential yet, many investors had wrongly chosen shitcoins which makes us think and generalize that altcoins are scams and useless. That is why I couldn't agree with that...because if that is only the reason, we better not create altcoins in the start if that only happen they are no market value and are worthless investments.

Speculation arises that by 2024 is scheduled to halve and people expect a price surge during that time making themselves that buying today will give them huge profits. It guarantees nothing but even without halving, I still believe that the price of Bitcoin will grow.

I have enough Bitcoins and a few altcoins ready for the next bull season.
I wasn't sure when the next bull season comes but I know that I am ready for it and the bag is full already. So, for those who have not yet, I think it was time for them to secure some and make ready also for the next price rally.

FTX leaves a lesson for many people but for sure, as time passes by, we forget this and many people will still store their money in an exchange wallet.
I expect a returning event in the future.

But we have nothing to do now other than move on and look forward to the resolution of this issue. And hoping that this could be the last big issue that happens this year, nothing more. We have to accept that things like this are very possible but at least, we get some learning in this situation and it serves as an eye-opening to all of us that even known and big exchanges can be changed. So don't give your 100% trust to them, we have to be cautious enough.

Apparently, trading is stressful and might kill you if you can't manage to handle your stress.
If we are in this situation, we have to urge ourselves to stop and move on. We just think that this is not the right place for us. Of course, we can still be a part of its journey and earn some profit in another way like being a casual investor (long-term).

We don't just think about earning money but also we have to consider our health as well as it was just nothing if we passed away already.
1245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: November 30, 2022, 11:06:04 AM

Before and after I created this thread, my prediction was always Tank Davis will win because he is the better boxer and the tougher man. However, when I was looking at King Ryan's record more closely, I think he has made the much needed preparations to give him a better than expected chance to win. King Ry has very much prepared himself to fight a 5'6" left handed boxer by fighting 2 left handed boxers in his last 3 fights. The last opponent is Javier Fortuna, he is short and can knockout anyone, having much similarities to Tank. I would laugh at King Ry's bettors last week, however, we cannot laugh if we have studied his preparation more.

Both are great boxers, some fans just don't like Ryan Garcia because he talks so much, but looking at his resume, he can certainly beat anyone as he has the power and speed and the height which is his advantage against Tank Davis.

We have our own prediction though, but I'm pretty sure this is going to be a close fight so let's continue predicting and don't forget to bet once the bookies are ready to accommodate us bettors.

If there's a poll in this thread, I would appreciate it.  Smiley
please OP hear me out.

I would definitely vote for Ryan Garcia, I love the underdog of this fight, it doesn't matter to me if he talks so much because I'm always satisfied with his performance in the ring everytime he has some action. This is probably the first time where he is listed as an underdog, so might as well take that opportunity.
1246  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Long term Crypto winning strategies on: November 29, 2022, 12:02:51 PM
It is surprising when people expect that this or that strategy will be able to bring them big profits. Most often, the profit depends on the ability of the trader to apply this strategy. Working with a broker from Amarkets, I learned this on a demo account.
People can assume but who knows if they are right about it. Of course, you can't tell if that particular strategy is working or not if you never try it. If that will never work, then they will look for another. A trader doesn't rely on a single strategy, it often has a backup of many strategies but they usually use the strategy where they see it was more effective. Skill and knowledge are some factors that will affect the results but if you also have an ineffective strategy, that is still useless. They should be bound and work together.
1247  Economy / Speculation / Re: Stop the panic, I doubt we will see 14k or less Bitcoin on: November 29, 2022, 11:17:19 AM
Actually OP, FUDs are created to make some people worried and panic then resulting in selling their Bitcoin at a cheaper price.
Might some people don't want it to happen but guess what, whales are happy about this.

We can't assume that everyone will listen and remain strong hands because many will still lose their faith and become weak. If the price will drop to $14k, then we have nothing to do about it aside from accumulating more. However, with the current price of Bitcoin, it seems that it is heading away far from getting below $15k which is a good indication that panic sellers are almost done.

With the help of these new technologies, scamming can easily be made and a lot of people can be tricked as well.
A number of scams ways been exposed now and it was alarming already that no matter what we do to stop all of these things that is impossible now as they are spreading and multiplying. That is why we have to protect our own and let others protect themselves that is the only thing we can do because even though we spread information many and many people still don't listen and still fall into them.
1249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: November 27, 2022, 06:18:10 PM
It's good that Casimero is just keeping his mouth shut at this fight.

Maybe he was being advised not to make too many talks and just do all the talking thru his punches in the actual fight. Akaho, on the other hand, is not giving any trash talks too and I'm sure he wasn't like that, and that may be the reason why Casimero is just silent too.

Casimero needs to do his best to win this fight. Still, a long way to go for him to be considered for a big match right now that's why every win is a must.

Not really surprised that this Ryo Akaho is also silent since their fight has been scheduled because Japanese people are known to be polite, courteous and very respectful towards other people. However, Casimero is different, this man is known to be messing with you in the head until the day of the fight. He just never stops talking about anything that sometimes he already looks like a fool, but this time is different. He is now under the radar pouring all his days in training for this fight of redemption.

I haven't check Akaho's record but probably this could be the first time that he might be facing at least a well known boxer, so he didn't know how to react. As you compare to Inoue, wherein he always respond to Casimero's taunt on social media.

Overall though, Japanese fighters are respectful towards their opponent and as long as they are going to be respected, then there are no bad mouthing. And yes, definitely, there is a issue on the language as well.

Japanese fighters do have that kind of tradition, they respect people and like what you have said, if there's no badmouthing they will not engage
they will just fight for a win as culture state that they needed to bring everything with pride.

On the other side, Casimero should learn from it and do the same, just fight and show what he got inside the ring.

Better to do it in action, not in words, proving something can be concluded after the fight!
I've noticed the same thing with Japanese boxers. They aren't bad mouthing against their opponents which make them gain respect in return. It's their nature to respect other culture which is actually one of their best traits.

Casimero also has the same personality. He prefers proving his strength in the ring rather than boasting and saying bad things about his opponents just like what he did on his previous matches.
Their silence actually makes the fight more interesting.

That's what they are known for, since they were kids they are already trained to respect others and taught to be courteous which explains why we cannot see any Japanese boxers who speaks ill languages with the likes of Inoue, Akaho, and Ioka to name a few.

In contrast with Casimero, he is known to be messing with the other boxers to make some hype or to trigger them to make things much easier for him because he is already messed up in the head. But yes, Casimero is not the kind who boast, he just wanted to talk like that because that is his way.
1250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I Am So Done With Betting Until.... on: November 27, 2022, 05:06:13 PM
I'm sorry for your loss, that's part of gambling. It happens to everyone when you are all confident about your bet and betting all-in. Sometimes it takes a big loss for us to realize to stop gambling, I am sure you'll recover from it soon, and I would take that you had a huge bet. Even with good odds your favored team can still lose, there are cases the underdogs win which could really be disappointing for those who are really expecting that their favored team has an advantage.
Whether you are too confident or not, losses can still happen here in gambling but I think it's wrong to be overconfident and go all in. In gambling, we should only bet small or bet only the amounts that we can afford to lose.

There are people who will decide to quit gambling after a major loss but there's also some who will quit after a big win because they are done with their mission of recovering their past losses. If your goal is to beat the house and make profit, you should know how to quit and not come back ever again before you got stuck in a loop because most of the times, gambling is only about winning and losing.  Preferably losing.

Yes, losses are really part of the journey when it comes to gambling because your chances are high that will mostly experience more losses than what you've win throughout the process and I think that is natural. Casinos and gambling platforms won't be around and be standing tall if they aren't getting good profits out of the bettors expense. It's just a matter of perspective on how you will look at your gambling activities but if you will quit, make sure that you will do it for good.

Although what the OP experienced is not that new because apart from him, I'm sure that there's a lot of bettors who also lost their bets that day because an unbelievable thing happened where the Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina. The OP's mistake is he poured all of his winnings in that specific bet because he thought that his chance was guaranteed, the OP mistakenly forgot that there's no such thing as guaranteed wins in the world of gambling.

By the way, I heard that the players received a brand new Rolls Royce as a gift because they managed to defeat the Argentina.
1251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis VS Hector Luis Garcia SAT, JAN 07, 2023 on: November 27, 2022, 04:25:53 PM


But as I have said, as long as him and Ryan will fight this year, then everything should be good on our part as boxing fans.


Do not believe it 100%, we've been taken a ride before by both Crawford and Spence and in the past, these two, are clowning to fight each other but never materialize, I don't know how serious these two fighters are, I will only believe if they sign a contract and there's already a final date.
If Tank's promoter is serious about this he should not let fight this Hector Garcia and go straight against the popular Garcia this is where big money is.

You seriously got a point there mate. This fight is still classified as speculation or an improved rumored fight even if they already said that there's an agreement for a catchweight bout because the final details on its whereabouts is not out yet, there are some reports that this fight will take place in Las Vegas somewhere in the month of April but like as you said, that is not yet final as long as both camps is not yet signing any contracts.

Also, what I'm curious about is why do they need any tune-up fights if they can always go head-to-head directly and make the schedule much earlier than what was reported. The risk is not that worthy because if one of them will sustain a serious injury or damage after that tune-up fight then they will be having troubles again because the fight will be delayed or worse, cancelled.
1252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terence Crawford vs David Avanesyan December 10 on: November 27, 2022, 03:44:13 PM
Anyway, Spence vs Thurman fight is not yet final. They haven't speak of anything after the order of WBC but I know this will push through because Spence won't just let Keith have his way without even fighting for it. Lastly, the fight has been rumored to happen on December 17 of this year.

Yes, I know that this fight is ain't final yet and I expect that this will happen somewhere in the 1st quarter next year. But next month? That's totally not possible. The fight have just been ordered recently and both camps are not yet done with the terms if they already began discussing it that is why I don't think that it will happen next month. That is too rush and this is not an ordinary fight, this is a title fight.

Yes, not going to happen this December, most likely it will be early quarter next year. Although both of them have been notified of the potential fight so for sure they might be doing some light trainings just to get the blood going specially for Thurman.

For this fight Crawford is still way the odds favorite, and should be focus and not take away and be distracted by the fight between him and Spence not happening because both sides failed to come up on an agreement.

Definitely not this year, apart from the boxer's preparations and trainings. Promoters do need some time too to plan the fight carefully on where they will hold the fight and the correct date where there's no conflicts like important holidays or other fights that will divide the crowd. For a title fight, it's best if they can finalize the fight and give the final details 2 months prior the fight so that the audience can prepare for it as well so that the fight will be packed.

Agreed, no movement huge movements on their odds as well. It is expected already that Crawford will defeat Avanesyan easily and will just look this as a mere tune-up to prepare him from the future fights that may happen next year.

Yes, and this fight is barely weeks from now, both are now winding their training and maybe watching their weight as in the next couple of weeks they will go on the scale. As the majority says, it's just a tune up fight for Crawford, definitely, the biggest fish to fry is Spence (sorry I have to bring it up again), but maybe a Ennis fight will not be that bad for Crawford's legacy as Jarod is the young gun coming up in their division. Taller, and has a bigger punching power, so no wonder either one of them doesn't want to fight him as this point. But to reach for greatness and legacy, either Crawford or Spence should give him that one and only chance.

No worries mate, it's fine. We cannot really keep ourselves from mentioning them because somehow these topics are connected to the ones who holds the belt in this division. I also hated the fact that boxing these days are far more political rather than giving the people the fight they deserved because they are the ones why they became a millionaire, so somehow, they owe it to the people.

I just hope that sooner or later, if in case Spence vs Crawford will not happen, one of them will fight the next contenders like Ortiz Jr. and Ennis rather than fighting an amateurs who are way out of their league (except for Spence because Keith is not a regular boxer, I bet he can still surprise us)
1253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 27, 2022, 02:54:56 PM
Lots of LeBron talk as he’s back in the rotation for the Lakers and helped them get a win yesterday. They’ve got a rematch again today against the San Antonio Spurs, so hopefully we see more domination from Anthony Davis and LeBron is able to play in the back to back. They’re slowly starting to show some life, but I think that team has a lot of issues that will keep them from postseason success.

Anthony Davis wasn't around on their game earlier for their 2nd encounter with the Spurs on a back-to-back game but Lebron made it happen with of course the help of his teammates. Yes, I definitely agree that they are slowly showing some positive signs on their line-up, may it the 2nd squad or the main five, they can now put a good fight. As of now, they still have a long way to go before we can even speculate about their situation post season but I think their chance is quite better now as long as the main guys won't have any serious injury that will definitely keep them from that success.
1254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: November 27, 2022, 02:14:47 PM
I will agree with these odds and bet for Tank.

Compared to Garcia, his combos and movement seem way more composed and technical, and being a southpaw doesn't hurt his changes. While Garcia seem to rely on his natural unpolished talent, and just raw aggressive fast style, using surprisingly quick and powerful attacks even as a defence. Even though those look clumsy compared to Tank, he seem to get ton of power under them somehow.

My guess is that Garcia's style of defence won't work agaisnt technically skilled combos by Tank. Garcia's aggressive style is intimidating but very much defeatable and while his height and reach seem to do add to that and give him confidence, it's all appearances and something that can be taken away fast.

What a great way of describing both boxers, you surely have aced the pie mate!

What you said was correct, Ryan Garcia is just relying on his raw predictable skills, he is just using his speed to create an opening to give deadly punches that will surprise his foes but this will be different because Tank Davis is not yet on his dictionary. He haven't yet fought another boxer who got more skillset and talent than him, that is why Ryan got almost no advantage other than his size which certainly means that his chances against Tank Davis is not that pretty.

We all know that Davis is a quick boxer, and has very good footwork and reflexes.  But never estimate Ryan Garcia because he too has his own set of quickness.  And we don't know which one is quicker.  Besides, it is possible that each camp is studying the weakness of their opponent so we might be in for a big surprise if we see a different Garcia in the fight.  From interviews and videos, Garcia seem pretty comfortable saying that he can beat Davis in two round, it is probably to intimidate or irritate Davis but it looks like Ryan is very serious about it. So it is really interesting to see if Ryan can deliver what he stated.

Of course Garcia should look confident and fearless while doing some interviews and videos regarding his future fight with Tank Davis, he may be really confident this time but saying that he can defeat Davis in mere 2 rounds? That's quite an overstatement from him, he sure needs to prove that first.

As I was saying above, Ryan Garcia surely got the skillset and quickness that he can boast but he haven't got any fights yet that are near Tank Davis caliber. I know he got some talent too but what he is trying to say now is quite unbelievable. He needs to be careful enough because he might end like what Davis did to Rolly Romero.

There is a chance that these two are just hyping their fight and talking like they really mean it to market the fight even more, but I do believe that what Ryan said is way too far for him and being confident that he can defeat Tank Davis in 2 rounds is absolutely exaggerated. Yes, he did defeated the old Javier Fortuna in a knockout but that is incomparable to Tank Davis's situation.

Jazz have lost two matches in a row. Before that, they were showing positive performances. I know some of the matches they've played have been really close. But they did get the result in their favor. From the next game on, I hope they will be able to perform better.

I was disappointed with their game against the Pistons, they should win that game but we didn't see that because what happened was the opposite. I don't know if their method was already exposed, or they are just not making an adjustment in the game. Clarkson was still the best score in that game but their big man wasn't so efficient that time, hopefully, they'll bounce back in their next game.

Next game will be up against the Warriors, that's surely a tough one for them, but upsets are possible.

That's a big test for the Jazz, it will be their 3rd losing streak if they will lose this game. The warriors are 8-1 at home and they have a good rest before this game, so this should be fun as we all know that Jazz is a very surprising team. I like the Warriors but I'm thinking of taking the Jazz ML, just for fun.
1256  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Solana rise again? on: November 25, 2022, 09:17:25 AM
As long as they sincerely develop their project to give their users and investors promising development, they will stay alive throughout this roller-coaster event in the crypto industry because they are willing to sacrifice some money to improve their service. However, when they only all talk and keep delaying their promise. In that case, they will see their investors migrating to another promising project in the market, leaving them with fewer and fewer investors every month, which will become the exact reason for their fall. This is what happened to some failed projects out there and they all cannot bounce back since they lose the trust of their investors.
Solana won't die easily but slowly, that is my take.
I'd seen the fast growth of Solana last year, in fact, many had thought that it was next big in the market but unfortunately, not all who have a good start will succeed in the end. And what happened to Solana will tell us that there is something wrong with them and with this project. Good thing is that I already sell my Solana already at a time when the price to moving high and never reinvested again. My instinct is right but I'm worried about those who still buy them even though they have issues already.
1257  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Promotion and Adoption in my locality on: November 25, 2022, 05:30:36 AM
It gives me joy to see small businesses accepting bitcoin as a payment option, especially in this current market. In fact, I think it takes a lot of courage to do so. I understand that it is a good way to promote bitcoin, but I would like to ask the OP, considering the price instability and since I didn't read anything about a cold wallet, will he convert the bitcoin received to a stable coin or will he leave it in bitcoin? I would love you to do a follow up on this and let us know how the business person is faring with it- how receptive are his customers to the new payment option.
But it is also a question if there is someone who pays Bitcoin for him. Because the truth is that even if we spread information that we are accepting Bitcoin but if the people around you don't know about Bitcoin that seems useless. Several stores are already accepting Bitcoin now and it was a trend already, especially in the place where Bitcoin is legal and many users but to our place, I'm not sure how many people are using Bitcoin as currency as it is likely just solely an investment.

This will tell us that buying low-cap coins and no use case is a high risk. And if you are also buying with these coins, we must sure that we are also updated about this project. They're not meant for long-term investment so keeping them long isn't advisable anyway.
Short notice is really terrible but yes, we have to take action before the said schedule otherwise you can no longer sell your coins anymore. But as long as it is on our personal wallet, it can be safe. We can still make a trade of it in other exchanges.

We can't put aside that conspiracy is possible. But to prove if that is true it is too far away. Yes, we know how money could play on the table and rich people are somehow willing to take a risk on their reputation for the sake of money and business influence.
It really gets too much attention in social media and causes price drops. The more we talk about them, the more it gains interest and attention, and the more it drags our minds to think negatively.

OKC and the Denver Nuggets still on OT, for sure the over bet have been hit for those who bet pre game.

That's the kind of advantage if you will bet on over as most likely the game will goes over if there's an overtime.

The total score is 257 while the over/under was only 230, easy win.
By the way, the road team also won and cover the spread.

OT gives those "Over" bettors a big advantage, the score will give them advantages unless the spread is too far from the original offer coming from th bookies.

But most of the time, over is triggered and give good amount of profits.
Good for those who pick this bet before the start of the game.

Bookmakers knows their job well, they won't set a line that would easily hit by over, in fact, based on what I read in the past, it is the under that hits more than the over because according to the explanation, the public loves to bet on the over, and we know that the public losses most of the time.
