1261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: November 24, 2022, 11:47:27 AM
From https://www.espn.ph/boxing/

Garcia in an interview said that he will knock out Davis, he is going to do that early but if that will not happen this fight is going to be a slugfest. What do you think about his statement? is he really capable of Knocking an undefeated Tank Davis?

I do think that he is more capable of knocking out anyone not only Davis and he has proven that as well. He has a very quick left hook, for sure you will see a lot of highlights from Ryan Garcia in youtube with that power.
He can KO Davis if he can hurt him, thing is, Davis will not be a champion if he is not a great fighter, and at the same time he will not be undefeated if he is not good. Also, if you look at the betting odds, Davis is the heavy favorite, so in the eyes of the bettors, he is the better fighter.

We all know that Ryan Garcia is the underdog here, what's he trying to do, does he wants to be the favorite on this fight by convincing people he can KO Davis?

It's obvious that he is trying to hype the fight right now, we know how he is really attach to his fans in his social media, so he is good at really hyping any fight of his when he open his mouth.

Hype is necessary in order to sell the fight, so it's not something new, they can throw trash-talk against each other and that's just normal.
1262  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: November 23, 2022, 02:03:42 PM

Personally in my own view, I don't have any doubts that Casimero will struggle in this fight. He has all the advantages here except he is inactive for quiet sometime now but that shouldn't be a big deal. Casimero winning in this match will give him the opportunity to fight against top boxers in that division.

Let's patiently wait for the result of this match. I'm giving Casimero a 90% chance to win this match based on my own factors.

Casimero's chance of winning is high in this fight, Akaho might be a good fighter but Casimero is not the same with those experienced that Akaho has beaten before, the level of skills and IQ of Casimero is very far from those boxers that Akaho fought during his young prime, now, it's Casimero's stairway to climb up in this division, he need this win as he is aiming for a higher rank or a chance of challenging the belt holder.

Let see if how he will deal with this and how he will win this fight against Akaho.

Time flies so fast, I didn't realize that we are going to see this fight in less than 2 weeks. I'm sure Casimero is well prepared already, no more worries on how to pass the weight requirement as he is in a heavier division, a win here is gonna make him a good challenger to the champion, but one step at a time until he becomes a mandatory challenger.

Lately, I've seen so many bitcoin holders speak so badly of fiat and how much they wouldn't want to associate themselves with fiat usage if possible, but I took some time to make a little research and from my research, I do observed that Bitcoin usage wouldn't be an easy one without fiat not even in countries where Bitcoin is legalized and my question is,
can Bitcoin be easily used and spent without Fiat?
My answer is No

What's your opinion?
Let's discuss
it was hard to use Bitcoin in a place where only a few stores or establishments will accept it, unlike fiat money. But never think that it was like that forever, things could be changed in the future and it was possible that Bitcoin will even make more demand in terms of payment someday. But anyway, I understand your stance as you are likely to make yourself a basis of this situation. Of course, you can say Fiat is important in your place but in other places where Bitcoin is also accepted, they can have different views about it.

If you continue to buy your coins when the price is high in the crypto market, it will not allow you to make a good profits like those that buy when the price is low in the crypto market. I think, the bearish market is the best market for both long term traders and short term traders to buy coins and hold until bullish market take over the crypto market before you can sell to make a huge amount of money at the moment. Now that the price of Bitcoin has decreased to $16,300 , showed that the market price is still looking good for traders to buy and hold, so that they will not miss the massive pumping that is about to happen in crypto market soon.
Therefore it is not recommended to buy a coin that is starting to increase because it can get you stuck at a high price and you have to wait a long time until the price can exceed your buying price and then you can sell it for a profit. The best time to buy a coin is when the price drops drastically and continues to decrease but we shouldn't buy at just one price level because if the price keeps dropping, we won't be able to buy at another low price. That's why we have to analyze from time to time to find a good time to buy and we can really buy at a low price. And bitcoin is currently fluctuating at the current level but there is still a possibility of a deeper decline, so prepare your mind to buy it at another low price.
Buying low is the most preferred thing to do but sometimes, we got fooled by the market volatility because many times that after buying, it drops more. I'm not sure if no one never have that experience but for me, this is really happening and even I can say I was too unlucky. And if you are new in the market, panic will certainly come instead of holding, then selling will appears in your mind.
That is found natural that losses are inevitable when you are new to this investment. Profit will just come when you know how to manage your emotions and already familiar with the market changes.

Bigger? Do you mean it will grow high and make another ATH OP? Pretty yes...
Perhaps, it was just another market speculation but I believe the thing about "there is always a chance". And I think everyone is expecting a price rally someday and that is the reason why they are still here even though the situation is pretty hard.

Just keep our faith and never get too attached to the market volatility because that will save us from panic and emotional stress.
And remain optimistic about it.

1266  Economy / Speculation / Re: Elon Musk says the price of BTC will rise on: November 22, 2022, 11:52:42 AM
A few days ago, Elon Musk responded to a friend's tweet saying that the price of BTC may increase by the end of winter.  He also asked everyone to be patient.  It means that the future of BTCL is very bright and its price will increase.  We are all waiting for this winter to end and the market to return to its previous form.  InshaAllah the price of BTC and digital currency will return to the previous room thanks
I can't just think that he gives some importance to Bitcoin and put his market analysis. But absolutely he is right and I think those who trust Bitcoin will also say the same. Rise is about to come a few years from now, that is what we expect and that happens after this bear season. That si why we see people are filling their bags in today's price for they are certain and optimistic about the future of Bitcoin - Bullrun.
1267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis VS Hector Luis Garcia SAT, JAN 07, 2023 on: November 21, 2022, 04:40:49 PM
I marked it as Tank Davis KO. But I was confused when I saw this title, I knew Tank Davis was totally gearing up for a Ryan Garcia fight. It was really a surprise for me that they had another promotion in between. This game will be a warm-up for Davis, I don't think there is any danger. I know your Hector isn't an empty boxer but he's got a tank in front of him and that KO machine is 25 TKOs in 27 games.

Was surprised too when I voted for a win by a KO for Tank Davis's favor, and it seems that everybody here is not seeing Hector Garcia a big deal and thinking that this is just a mere tune-up or warm up fight before he faces Ryan Garcia somewhere in March/April next year.
Anyway, this will be Hector's debut in lightweight and I'd say that he is too unfortunate because he is up against the regular champion who doesn't want yet to give up his title, not before he have the chance to face the undisputed champion.
1268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terence Crawford vs David Avanesyan December 10 on: November 21, 2022, 04:16:08 PM
^^ That's part of it I guess, no one wants to accept the blame for a fight to not happening as big as this one. But at least we have heard the side of Crawford, maybe it's just half truth or wait, I'm still interested to hear though as who is that hedge fund manager willing to offer them guaranteed money of $50 million, maybe it's just a bluff on his end, hehehehe.

But yeah, December 10, we shall see if Avanesyan is really good as advertised by Crawford as an opponent. Or will it be just an easy fight for him and then his critics will go after him for taking an easy route.

There's no way that we could find out even if Crawford will confirm that what he was saying are all true and there is indeed that person who is interested to give them that huge guaranteed money of over a $50M just to make the fight happen. And of course, Al Haymon will decline that offer because he himself can make the fight happen and a $50M is not that big compared to what he could've earn if he will make the fight happen, I reckon it will be at least $100M considering that Spence is the PPV King and adding Crawford in the equation will be a sure blockbuster hit. Unfortunately, Al or Spence is not yet ready for it.

I wouldn't call Spence a PPV though, even Canelo is not drawing huge amount of PPV, in his last fight against GGG, he has like just over a million PPV. And for the Spence vs Ugas fight, reports says it draw 240,000 PPV

https://ringside24.com/en/55740-spence-ugas-240-thousand-sold-ppv

And so I doubt that they can make $100 M.

And one thing that makes Crawford revelation believable is that PBC is not contradicting any in the public. They just wanted to keep silent and then announced a Spence vs Thurman fight.

That $50 million is a guaranteed purse split for both Crawford and Spence, so maybe $30 M to $20 M in favor Spence. And as far as PBC is offering Crawford, again this is from Bud himself, 35% is the offer to him.



I agree, $100M is a bit too much to ask for a Crawford-Spence fight and that $50M offered by an independent contractor was a reasonable offer. Give or take, they might not even reach $70M. Don't know what Al Haymon is thinking and he is greedy even if he doesn't the fight to happen, for sure Spence was already ready but he cannot just fly solo for now.

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.
1269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo on: November 21, 2022, 03:53:07 PM
Manny Pacquiao accused of loaded gloves in Antonio Margarito win

That's insane, Pacman is not Margarito, it was Margarito who was caught loading his gloves and got suspended with that IIRC. Pacman's punch was really heavy, and it took him 12 rounds to destroy the face of Margarito, should he quit before the 12 rounds, things might not get worse.

Right! Manny Pacquaio is known to fight fairly, there are even some instances that he could've end the fight much earlier just like with Thurman but he didn't and let his foe recover so that the fight will be much more entertaining and fair. And that accusation did really came from Margarito who was once caught red-handed when he inserted a hardened substance on his plasters.
1270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 21, 2022, 03:26:15 PM
The number 1 and number 2 seed of the West is playing right now.
Despite Utah Jazz playing back-to-back games they still look energetic and are in a good lead against the Portland Trail Blazers.

I am amazed though how big of a change these Trail Blazers become. The addition of Jerami Grant is a game-changer and so does their rookie Shaedon Sharpe who has been stepping up his game whenever he is given more minutes.
Now Dame will just need to be healthy all season long to preserve their winning momentum. Their bench is deep but it's still better if he is present.

And the Jazz won again, and their 2 best players is Clarkson and and Markkanen, again this Jazz really surprises us all in the West as they are top.

Unfortunately, initially reports says that Dame might have reinjured himself again, aggravated that calf muscle that has been bothering him. So this is a bad news for the TrailBlazers whose also a revelation this season. They might have to play again without him for the next weeks and see how serious his injury is. Hopefully it is not and that he just needed some rest to be able to recuperate.

Jazz knows how to win. Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen and Malik Beasley managed to beat Portland comfortably with their points. I think it was a comfortable game because they were always superior in all periods except the first period. At Portland, their contribution to the basket was split among many players, but they never took the lead in the game. I agree with you about the injury and I think they should go on without it. I hope it doesn't turn out as we expected and he gets better soon.

Yes, that three is now making a killing in Utah, I thought that Clarkson will be traded as well, but it seems he settled down very quick as the go to guy for the Jazz. And with the acquisition of  Lauri Markkanen, they have turned into a great contender. But we will have to wait, the old Jazz team choke in the playoff, so we will see if the same will happen with the Jordan Clarkson lead Utah Jazz now. Hope that Lilard will come back, don't what to see him down again with the same injury.

I reckon that they are about to trade him, it's just that they are not getting any good package in return that's why he wasn't traded. Who knew that the newly renovated team will work so fine, they are expected to tank this season but the opposite thing happened as they are now leading the Western Conference. Anyway, there's no need to give so much hopes on this roster because they are just new and it won't be a big deal if they will choke in the playoffs.
1271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Too many chickens own BTC. Don't be a chicken, HODL! BE A LION. on: November 18, 2022, 04:58:27 PM
This is the real issue BTC is facing. Chickens get afraid and sell even if they lose their money. They don't even understand how crypto works.

I've never sold a satoshi since 2013. I know BTC will rise back and one day will hit the 100k and beyond. In a way I'm glad this is happening, more strong hands and less chickens. HODL! Hoping to buy more if it gets down to 10k.

Haven't even heard about FTX until now lol. This shows how panicked I am Grin

1 BTC = 1 BTC. That's all you need to know. Less drama, live longer.
I don't totally agree with you on this one. People sell their cryptocurrency asset for many different reasons and that doesn't make them chicken, and holding on to a particular crypto asset doesn't make you a lion.

Someone might be in urgent need of money decide to sell some of his crypto asset, does this now amount to being a chicken?

You need to be smart in other to survive in this space and knowing when to sell and when to hodl is a very important aspect of survival.
When they decide to invest, they should already have their own budget that won't mix with their daily budget or budget for urgent needs. And if an urgent need requires money, it will not interfere with their investment because they have savings specifically used if there is an urgent need for money. So everything can still run according to their respective proportions. Investments can continue, while they can fill the sudden need at the right time.

I agree with this. Investment and emergency needs should be in a different portfolio and not mixed with each other, moreover, I seriously do not think that people will invest to save or thinking of their investments as a savings that they will dig if there's an urgent things. It should be in a different folder, just like your basic needs and monthly bills.
1272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 18, 2022, 04:28:41 PM

The diversion of attention of the fans are now on this match. Okay, there's no more Spence and Crawford because of this match and that's why schedules and deals won't be possible anymore.

Both has good set of records, as Thurman's performance isn't convincing against Barrios. Maybe this time, he'll retrieve himself and will show the expected Thurman that everyone wants.
For now we will not see a mega fight between Spence and Crawford, but once they both win in their respective fights, for sure the hype will be up again as the fans would always want to witness a big fight which is the undisputed fight between them.

The hype could be there again or remain just like what we have now even if their discussion was already over but it won't change the fact that the unification of the welterweight division is still blurred to consider a possible fight. Amidst the issue, I truly think that Al Haymon or Spence is afraid to face the Crawford now because it's still risky to fight him while he's still at the fullest of his strength. We may see it soon, but not for now, this will be the Manny Pacquaio vs Mayweather version 2.
1273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 18, 2022, 04:06:14 PM
However, I still don't understand why NBA teams aren't interested in Melo. Of course, Melo is no longer in his prime, but he's still a good scorer, and he could be a great bench player for a minimum salary.

Just hope that there will be a team that will consider Melo. The season still has a long way to go.

Not the first time that Melo experienced being unsigned for long. In 2019, Portland Trail Blazers give him a chance to play again after a year of absence on which he is thinking of retirement already. A season after, he intends to stay in the Blazers for a year deal.

No one knows if that thing will happen to him again.

Melo's chance is still in the hand of any team that will offer him to sign a contract, no update yet but the season is still in the early part
and anything can happen.

It's just a need of someone who can really help him to get another team
to play with. Maybe Melo is no longer in his prime, but scoring, he still
can contribute good numbers.

Carmelo Anthony is not yet giving up, he's still thinking that and hoping that he can still get a contract especially now that some of the teams in the league are in desperate time and badly needing some help. Maybe they will reach out to Melo, that is why he is not yet signing to any team in Taiwan. It's just that the teams now are giving some priorities to the young aspirants that will be soon a legend too, but so far, Melo can still give some contributions from the bench, he already proved that.

I am not surprise that some media now started to report crypto exchange as Ponzi and comparing it that way.
Too bad but I understand their sentiment yet they are wrong putting crypto exchanges in general. Because what happened to FTX is only for the FTX team. Social media is really trying to use their platform to help spread misinformation and this is not good.

Don't say you have to put your coins in your personal wallet or Dex. There you have someone you trust and breaking the trust. This is not good for cryptocurrency or what do you think about the trust broken?
More exchanges turn into scams, which seems alarming and we know people will consider this as a reason to stay away from crypto. Yeah, trust is somehow broken and doubts arise about which exchanges to trust as Binance also involve in the issue.
1275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto is here to stay. on: November 18, 2022, 08:49:53 AM
Very big question and people has different comments on this topic but over all yes crypto is here to stay because it is good inovation to payment gatway where we can send payment to anybody in world with lower fees and also transactions will be completed very fast then other options like bank something so we should go with this crypto for worldwide help and make a new advanced world.
Because it was valuable for many reasons and a reason why people still trust this platform despite the current situation. We see different speculations and market views ( negative and positive), however, the majority have been positive about what will happen in the future. For many years that we have been like this, we already know that rise will come next and the development continue. Perhaps, adoption is growing which means that more and more people had see the brighter future of the crypto world and seen those innovations.

Do you mean a few exchangers? 2 or more exchanges?

Well, your intention isn't wrong but running a business with a lack of knowledge and capital is really hard. I suggest that you start and focus on 1 exchange, I know some people could help you with that. I believe there are some business experts in your place, you can get some ideas from them as this is not all about strategies and capital but also some legal documents. It is really tough to start a business, especially in crypto which is why it needs someone who would accompany you.

This is where you should really make yourself that aware that any news or fundamentals around doesnt always mean that it would be creating significant effect on the market and this is what makes it
unpredictable on the first place.This is what makes it hard to make some analysis because it could be anytime fucked up since market could move on random way.Come to think that it could move out
randomly without any news or events around which it do really raise up questions on your mind on how the heck or whats happening.We arent seeing something around
but still the price do really move out. You should really make yourself get used to it because no one on this world could able to predict on what would happen in speaking
of price movement.
FUDs and any negative news gives a huge market impact but if we talk about good news, I haven't seen it. Now, it has been realized that people aren't much giving weight to the good news but likely have a huge concern about the negative ones. But I see why and that is because they care too much about their investment and they are worried. Actually, the market is very tricky, you can't assume that will happen even if we are surrounded by positive people as these FUDs certainly could influence the market and could change someone's view.
1279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Market is about to pump on: November 17, 2022, 01:00:44 PM
It was been known to us OP that the market is about to pump but to ask when? That is absolutely nobody knows. People are expecting it after halving and it was based on the previous bull season. Of course, I believe in a such thing because I've experienced it as well.
Yes, we still see a few pumps of price in the market today, and yet, not exactly the time to say it will continue to rise. It was just normal market interactions and that is what we called volatility.

Judging from the current encryption trend, it will continue to be in a downturn, and it is unlikely to rise. Bitcoin price increases are most likely to occur during the block halving period. We seize this opportunity to continue to accumulate, and we will profit when the next bull market comes.

Dumps are really inevitable and that is why we should always be prepared rather than get surprised.
So, instead of focusing on checking the market trend daily, we'd rather make use of the time to buy more and make it ready for Bullrun. We know we can't do anything with the current situation aside from holding and avoiding panic selling as this will help the price not to dump more.
1280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 17, 2022, 12:28:08 PM
But whatever happens, we'll see how it's going to happen since there are too many rumors out there about trading AD. And why is it that most of those rumors are on him? LOL.
AD can give huge contribution to the team so most provably he is the one who want to have by a team that's why there are trade rumors always brought up on his name because unfortunately on lakers at the moment he has a clear value compare to Westbrook where many team avoid because of his bad performance show lately happen on him. But I guess lakers will not interested om this offer since even though AD is injury prone they can still use them and they just need to rehabilitate this big guy.
It's on the Lakers if they want a change but I also think that AD is a great asset to them and instead of him, they can trade the others that they think add no value to the team currently.
But to have that happen, there should really be letting go of one of the greats that they have so it's either AD or Westbrook. AD contributes really a lot and I can see that Westbrook is also doing the same, the lack of chemistry is what makes them not do well and trade rumors are after them.

Would be perfect for them if they let Westbrook get traded because its really clear that he is not happy with Lakers anymore and their chemistry with his team is not good at the moment. Maybe from that trade they can get good guards to fill up his position and can blend well on their rotation. Also they need to get good wing players for them to get good spread then get great plays from their roosters.

It's very obvious, Westbrook is not a bad player but his stay with the Lakers will only make his career go bad. Put him in a team where he can feel he is an important player then for sure he will be so productive, I think it's a win-win situation for the Lakers' management if they will trade Westbrook for a role player that will deepen their bench.
