1281  Economy / Speculation / Re: will bitcoin continue to rise on: May 27, 2023, 04:39:23 PM
It is very difficult to accurately predict whether the bitcoin price will continue to rise or not. If you look at the recent crypto market situation, it seems that the potential for an increase in bitcoin prices is still possible. Moreover, currently the price of bitcoin is trading in the range of $26k-$27k. Therefore, it is better for you to hold your assets first and continue to monitor the market so that you do not lose the momentum to sell at even higher prices.
$ 25k to $ 28k is the range of the consolidated Bitcoin price, I'm still grateful that Bitcoin hasn't fallen from $ 20k,
meaning Bitcoin is still strong and has the potential to pump again,
yes the condition is that Bitcoin can be above $ 30k and hold it, then bullish will come,
I hope june marketcap can go up and make the market bullish again.

Yeah, before it can fall to $20k, we still have a support line at $25k, so most likely it will going to hold unless there is really bad news in the market and we can see a huge sell off, so far it's not happening as we just training sideways.

We already reach $30k, it's just there are speculators who sell because they are taking profits, so you can't blame them for that.

But in any case we might see $30k again, it's not that far, we ares still in the $26k this May although this might be the first time that we will see a red dildo in a month.

With Boston taking two in a row it feels like the pressure has now shifted to the Heat. They do not want to play in a game seven against a team that just beat them three times in a row. This will probably be the hardest fought game of the series for both teams. Usually that means one team resorts to taking bad shots when they get behind and then a blowout. I’m just glad we get more basketball after a day off.

And they will be away from their home, against a hostile Boston Garden crowd, it's so noisy that you can't hear the whistle of the referee. So pressure for them and I would also say that it's a do or die game for them, they need to close out the Celtics and not give them another chance.

Even if this is on the home court of Miami, pressure is still on them. They've reach this far with Jimmy Butler leading them, it will be just sorry to see if they fall short after leading a 3-0 and not reach the finals.
1283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: May 25, 2023, 09:40:29 PM
I voted for Any coins goes, stable or unstable.

In the beginning though, I usually play with only Bitcoin, but when we have this big problem in the past regarding the high fees, I switch to other coins like XRP (yes, I do used it before), and then ETH (power the PoS and when the fees are not that high), LTC (small brother of BTC and they are quite fast), and then USDT (my coins of stable coins).

So yes, it depends on the coins itself, but to be on the safer side, USDT is my choice right now.
1284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 25, 2023, 09:18:27 PM
I highly doubt that Celtics could do anything to win, not just game based but the series. Why? Because not only they are trailing 3-1, you need them to win one more to put pressure on Heat, then another one if they can snatch a win, and then another one thanks to momentum... That's 3 games in a row and you are expecting Heat to just be dumbfounded during all this time? Obviously not, just a single game, one game where the ball doesn't drop as well as you hope for, and you got yourself a loss of the series.

I still think that Heat will end it tonight and we are going to see them get a few days rest, it is going to be an easy game for them and I do not see a way out of this by Celtics, no matter how much they try and how hard they work, it won't happen.

It will be very very hard for the Celtics to make a comeback in this series and win. The best I can see is this can win this game 5 while at home but Miami should be able to win game 6 at Miami. There is a chance for Celtics to win the series but it will be small, the current betting odds is at 3.15 for them to win the series. If there is something the Celtics can motivate, it would be to become the first-ever team in the NBA to recover a 0-3 deficit which will be a shame to Miami and makes the record more difficult to achieve.

Gabe Vincent is out for Miami in this today's game by the way. Butler and Spoelstra need to work on their magic once again to bring positivity and confidence to its cast of undrafted players. But I am not beating today, it's too unpredictable and the Celtics are still the favorites at home.

Bad news for Miami Heat backers if Gabe Vincent is out in tonight's game. He is one of those vital part of the team in this series and really doing everything in both end of the court.

But I do agree though that still Miami has the advantage in this series. Celtics will have to play perfectly in the last 3 games to make history (coming back from a 0-3 deficit). Celtics is still the favorite in this game, but just like in the past games, they are the favorite but can't hold it specially in the 3rd quarter wherein Miami was really pouring everything they got. And if the Heat win this one on the road and without Gabe Vincent? We should give credit to the adjustments being made by coach Spo.
1285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: May 25, 2023, 09:05:15 PM

Ryan Garcia has a new trainer already,



https://www.britishboxingnews.co.uk/blogs/ryan-garcia-begins-training-with-derrick-james

And as what has been mentioned, it's Derrick James the trainer of Errol Spence Jr. And obviously we can see in the picture that maybe they are still already working. We have heard about the Spence Jr. Vs Bud Crawford fight so most likely this could be true as again pictures circulating already that Ryan is on the camp on board and might be introduce by James himself to the fighters he is trainer. But then again, it's the whole attitude of Ryan than can make the big difference.

I agree with that, it's still his attitude that will allow him to enhance his fighting skills, with a new trainer and a new set of people to
work on keeping moving forward after that loss.

Nothing to judge for now as we are waiting for the next update if he will have another money fight or if he will again find a cherry pick fighter to hype his name.

Something that we will need to wait, whether that change in training partners will benefit him or not.

Hopefully it is for the better this time because Ryan Garcia's talent will just be put to waste if he will not do anything to address his own issue that he himself created, he could've been among the top names right now if he have the dedication to be among those lists. Moreover, he already have the people needed for him to develop his skills and to be a much greater boxer than what he is previously, all what's needed to do is his presence and dedication to change for the better.
He has the potential and the ability to make it to the big leagues (I would even argue that he is already in the big leagues considering we are talking about him) but that attitude of wanting to always be in the spotlight has to go. It's one thing to love being a star and a celebrity because well, it's a secret dream that most of us wanted to achieve at some point in our lives but at the same time him skipping out on important affairs like training just so he can appear more in the camera is just going to cause him to lose more fights in the future. It may even be seen as him slacking off or "damaged" after the fight with Tank but he definitely needs to change his attitude and bring his enthusiasm to the game that made him famous in the first place.

Maybe Ryan should enter Hollywood then because he love the spotlight, he has the looks so maybe that should be the career he should focus. But in all seriousness, trainers can only do that much for a boxer, at the end of the day, it's Ryan against Davis inside the ring and Goosen or Reynoso can't help him. With that said, if he isn't ready for that big fight and he could have taken that tune up fight. But then again, he believed that he can beat Davis easy with that left hook on his which didn't even hit Davis because he knows that Ryan is going to throw it so he just simply duck and protect his chin.
1286  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not be pulled by the hype of meme coins on: May 25, 2023, 08:45:07 PM

Chose to post this because a friend bought lovehateinu because he saw it in various websites but the reality was a dip than the presale price. I might be biased on my thoughts on meme so would be happy to hear our views on them.

I guess we have issues a lot of warning before, not just for this cycle, but on the previous one about meme coins because if you look at it, there are not really any use case for this project expect hype and greed and money for the creator and the people behind it.

But crypto investors don't want to listen, like your friend did, because they thought it's a get rich scheme but it's not. The only people that will get wealthy here are those groups, and then the pump and dump schemes of individuals. So again, let this be a warning to others, there could be another meme coins, like Doge, Shiba and even Pepe that will suckered everyone to invest.
1287  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to speed up btc transfers on: May 24, 2023, 09:36:08 PM
You choose the feerate of your choice when creating the transaction. On the mobile app, you cannot set the fees specifically, you can only choose from a range of low priority, medium or high, while on the desktop version you can choose the exact fee you wish to pay on the transactions.

If your enaked RBF - Replaced By Fee, you can bump the fee after you have sent the transaction, if it is delaying to be confirmed.

Part of the reason why I prefer the blue wallet than mobile electrum wallet. With the blue wallet having fee ranges calculated from mempool for confirmation in either 10min, 3hours or 1day, you can customize your own fee to a preferred one. The RBF seems on default doesn’t enabling except it was disabled before.

Yes, the default on Electrum for RBF is not enabled if I'm not mistaken, you just have to enabled it though.

You can also edit the fees manually. After you click "Pay"->click on the "Screwdriver icon". Then you can type the fees you want, based on what you see in

https://mempool.space/

So obviously, if you are not in a hurry and doesn't want to pay high fee then that is your choice.
1288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 24, 2023, 09:15:01 PM
If the Celtics win Game 5 and 6, then I think we will have a game.
Definitely, we can say they might make history if that happens.
But, we have seen the Miami Heat play better on the road. They love the challenge and it gets them pumped up. I think what happened today is just them being too relaxed and forgetting about how it should be played in this series. We will see how Jimmy Butler will carry his team on Boston homecourt.

There's another factor too that I believe is partly the reason why the Heat was defeated in Game 4. Maybe the Heat was just too tired from playing aggressively and having a good defense in straight three games without having some rests in-between, that is why they fell out of bounce in the 2nd half.

Anyway, the way I see it, that might be the Boston's last game that they can own because the Heat on the road is still dangerous and that gives them time to rest too while traveling compared when they are having a back to back games.

Might be reason indeed because playing impressively against the #1 in the East will surely take toll on their body and enough of their energy as they are still humans like us although they are trained much differently from the other leagues in the world. To sum it up, it was a good run for the Celtics because they denied getting swept just like the Lakers, but I do believe that it was their last win as well.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not underestimating the Celtics but given the situation we have now, it is clear enough to see that the Miami Heat leaded by Jimmy Butler have the upper hand in this series. It will be a tough one for sure to sack them but I bet the Heat can find a way to do that.

I think that is the best thing they  can do, denied a swept, and it also denied history as well. This could be the first time that we might see either finals conference sweep. Lakers swept by the Nuggets, and the Heat has a chance, but the Celtics hasn't lost 4 straight in 2 years and they did exactly that and prevent that history putting their team on that.

Anyway, no team has ever comeback from 0-3 in the playoff. So the Heat has a lot of chance to close out the Celtics. Maybe in the next game we might see it. They are now 3.45 underdogs and that kind of odds we want to see for the Heat. Maybe they didn't trash talk Butler this time and not 'poke the bear'.

^^ Yes, we are tired of hearing this news and having a date for this fight. So let's wait and see if there will be official announcement. I know that everyone gets excited when he hear news about this fight, but how many times that we heard and then there is no announcement?

Although it's good to hear that a name popup as a advisor for Terrence Crawford, we all know that he had no manager after he didn't sign with Top Rank. So that it a first hearing a name then in this negotiation.
1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 24, 2023, 12:06:01 AM
well, I already commented here that I didn't understand why they were putting the lakers as favorites in this game when it just didn't make much sense to me since the Nuggets proved to be much superior to the lakers in every game and history shows that in this type of situation is irreversible, so lakers players would not come to this game hoping to win to reverse this whole situation, at most they would come to play to comply with the schedule and also avoid humiliating defeat and also all lakers players would probably be more worried getting out of the game without injuries and thinking about the next season because everything was already decided

As for today's heat game against the celtics and the same situation as the lakers, I don't believe that the celtics will be able to reverse this whole situation and it's funny that in this game the heat is the favorite and the bookmakers are right, the heat clearly have an irreversible advantage, they will be playing at home and motivated, so all the celtics can do is avoid having the same humiliating defeat they had in the last game, so they will do everything so that they don't lose by a big difference of points , the odds for this game are good, the heat has an odd of @1.84 in case of victory, I am considering betting on the heat to win the game

It's because they are still in their homecourt, so bookies might think that it's a advantage. And it really affect how the players play on their homecourt. We've seen that the Lakers blew away Memphis and GSW at Crypto.com in their series.

But it's a different Nuggets team, Murray is healthy, Jokic is putting great numbers and the whole team is playing good defense.

Same with the Heat vs Celtics, the Heat is the favorite because they are going to play at home and they just defeated Boston Celtics with a huge numbers in game 3 as well.
1291  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT OR MEMES on: May 22, 2023, 01:43:10 PM
Both are just hype though, so same connotations, but probably just different in shape. Just like what we have seen in the past, ICO-IEO-IDO and others, same breed and as soon as the hype goes down, then something new will come along way.

So there is a risk, and if anyone is willing to take that risk then so be it. At least you know what you are getting into and so you can't just bitch around after you invested on them and lose your money in an instant. You just been warned.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: May 22, 2023, 10:51:32 AM
How many times have you successfully invited some gamblers to online casino? What is your experience doing so? I know many will find this hard to believe but I kinda prefer bringing in gamblers than investors into crypto, why? They understood the risk already, there is no talk and talk over again, there is no dealing with someone fear and confidence..

I have successfully brought in four people into crypto gambling, and it was the easiest thing ever, they came asking if it's possible to use crypto for gambling and I said yes, but I told them that I am not ready to introduce any platform for anyone, but these guys then showed me there past gambles on a local website that only accept Fiat, that's when I got soft with them and I showed them the websites I use for gambling.

The thing is, they are small time winners and big time losers, I mean they lose more than winning, it's been two weeks and two of them tell me about their loss and gains, but they make it feel normal, to them it really is, not like the crypto investors today, always in hurry to double their money, some are even scared of investing in Bitcoin, which is the safest of them all.

For me it's the opposite, it's hard to bring in investors in crypto because admit it or not, majority of them are not technically incline, so that is one of the biggest problems facing newbies and most likely this is also why they are losing money to scammers and others who take advantage of their lack of knowledge on crypto, like what wallet this should used, how to protect their private keys and others.

As compare to bring online gamblers, yes, I too have earn money doing some affiliate and people playing under me so it's a passive income. Only just a couple of people though that I know, it's not that huge affiliate or something. And it's easy to talk to them, and obviously, gambling is very easy to learn as well as there are no learning curves.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 22, 2023, 09:50:53 AM
Down 30 points by the end of the third quarter - it would be insane if they can even come back from that even if Miami uses their bench players for the entire fourth quarter. Celtics should at least step up and cover those +10 handicap bets hehe. Scary to think that neither Jimmy nor Bam put up big numbers to have such a huge lead.

Yeah and it's all their undrafted players again who really contribute in this big win, now they are comfortable at 3-0 and they will make in to the finals again in the last 3 years if I'm not mistaken.

But they will have to face the Nuggets for this year. Business wise though, will it be one of the most watch finals in the NBA? Or will it be just a so-so numbers as both of this teams, I will say is not that well known? No offense to the fans of both team, the Heat at number 8 in the finals? no one is expecting it, in the beginning it was Boston, Bucks and Sixers as the favorite. Will be insane if the Heat went to win this season.
1294  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you spend more-do you get more? on: May 21, 2023, 09:36:00 PM
There is an opinion that the more money you spend, the more you get in return, it is interesting to find out who really works in this direction. I spend enough money, but I have a fixed income, therefore I will not be able to get more. I don't have rich relatives, and I don't expect an inheritance either. I want to get rich, not to deny myself, but I have to save on everything. Who really faced big expenses and received even more? How does it work, maybe I don't understand the essence of it correctly?

I think this is just a theory, you just have to used logic here and see that it just won't simply work. Specially like if you just have fixed income, have a regular 9-5 job. It will take a lot of imagination to have this theory work on you. Maybe if you have the money and spend it like building your own business empire, then maybe there is some sense in this saying. But if you are just spending your money buying and not investing, then obviously, nothing will be returned to you. So that's it, invest the money that you have instead of spending it to useless stuff and material things, practice frugality and then have the mindset to let's say in crypto to just hold on your assets and sell it at the right time, maybe you will get more in return.
1295  Economy / Speculation / Re: Btc price preeiction on: May 21, 2023, 09:20:05 PM
Bitcoin price to reach 100K from current price has a lot of space to run. So with the Bitcoin halving in 2024, the price of Bitcoin may increase slightly compared to last year. Bitcoin halving in 2020 was mentioned as a much higher price but it happened that the price of Bitcoin touched up to 69k.  But this time in 2023, the price of Bitcoin may be up to 100K according to the hype. Many will want to sell Bitcoin during the main bull run and (many will sell) and there is a high probability that the price of Bitcoin will be pulled back. According to ATH Bitcoin price will increase till 2025.
It's clear there is still a lot of time space for bitcoin to return to the peak which is often said to be $100K but keeping in mind the situation after the halving and how the hype will react later but I think it will be more than ever and believe me how bitcoin's journey will be quite fantastic.

That is the next bull run, or right after the halving, and that's what we are looking next year. 6 digits or nothing in the next run. Still very far, but that's also how I see the price in the bubble, (admit it or not, what we are going to see is a full blown bubble again).

Bullrun the highest peak is the target of many investors to sell it is what they want and after selling normally they will wait to buy it back where the bitcoin price will correct or crash about this negative cycle of course it will be the same as before so those who intend to sell take advantage of it good as long as it's ATH according to you.

Yeah, probably it will peak again late, 2025, maybe November-December before it will be burst. And for those of us who are going to reinvest, it's better be that bear cycle after that. The best thing to do is this time, try to accumulate as much as we can for the next bull run 2024-2025.
1296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 21, 2023, 11:39:47 AM
I think everyone is starting to accept that the Lakers are over in this series now. It's a miracle the Lakers made it to the finals after losing 3 games, I don't think they can do that.
Again, Murray played very well and had a huge impact on the win. We can say that the first team in the final was the Denver Nuggets.
I think we're going to watch a finale between Jokic and Butler Smiley

Though the edge is really on Nuggets side but there's still game left and who knows, maybe Lakers will push and try to extend the games.

That is the best thing they can do, extend that series of them on at least 5 games. They know that it's hard to get back from a 3-0 deficit and win the series.

But if you'll going to assess the way both LeBron and Davis are playing, seems that they are really
having a hard time matching against Murray and Jokic.

Plus those role players who really playing well on both sides, help defense and additional offense for the Nuggets
is really hurting the Lakers.

The formula that they used against the Warriors are not working because of Jokic. As far as Murray goes, he is unstoppable, not even the defense of Vando can hold him. Unlike Vando getting Steph a hard time, not this time, Murray is bigger and stronger than Steph.

And so it seems that the Lakers have done everything in this series, changes their personnel, but still Jokic and Murray unstoppable specially in the final quarter.

Miami is also trying to duplicate the feat of Nuggets and wanted to get a 3-0 lead next game in their homecourt.
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Casinos Should Do Survey From Time To Time To Assess You. on: May 21, 2023, 10:31:47 AM
In light of two cases about casinos being charged for not stopping one player from playing past his betting threshold and from one demanding one casino to return his losses because of VPN issues.

Do you think casinos should implement a survey assessment from time to time to assess gamblers if they are comfortable spending more and if they are using VPN all the time even if they allow the use of VPN.

This is for the casinos to avoid issues in the future when players look for loopholes to regain their losses by charging them in court.

Reference :
Stake.com not paying out my money

A Gambling Operator Court Case


No, I don't think that it is the responsibility of gambling operators or casino. Gamblers should read the ToS of every platform that they are going to play so that there will be no issues whatsoever like in this case the use of VPN.

Casino's are going to fight it out in court cases, and if my memory serves me right, I'm not sure how many court cases does the casino losses though. Statistics could be in their side as everything is written on their ToS. And if someone violated it and then think that they have found a loophole, then they are all wrong.

Another ridiculous scorecard in boxing Cheesy

Loma clearly win the match, no debate. I don't see Haney win at least for 6 rounds, no win for Haney or draw in this match. We don't need to use our eyes to see Loma dominating the fight, just hear what the commentators saying because they got hyped when Loma punch more accurately on Haney's face.

On the 11th round, Haney lose his footwork, that's clear sign how Haney got beaten by Loma.

I think Loma started slow again and Haney control the fight early with his length and those body shots. However, Haney engine started to get hot and rally late in the rounds and going into round 12 it's anybody's game. But I gave Loma the last round so that makes him the winner in my unofficial card.

But I do agree that the judges fix this match from the beginning they are not going to give Loma the win here unless it's a knockout.

You can see the emotions on Loma, when we thought that he is the matrix, he suddenly shows his emotion and cry.  Cry

Ripple has been a bankers coin and centralized project, this has been the contention way back, as far as can remember 2018, wherein they work and cooperated with many banks so don't be surprised by this news.

Financial freedom? for them it's business. There was a time wherein they are in the top of the list. There were even discussions about a so called "Rippening", wherein there will be a flip and Ripple or XRP becoming the top 1 dislodging BTC. But investors are too smart for that, and so they suddenly lose or investors are not interested on them anymore. But they still try to work it out and continue with their initiatives till this year.
1300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 20, 2023, 08:49:52 PM
The Celtics and the Lakers have to be feeling the position they’re in. One more loss for either in the next two games is likely the end. Both teams get to play their next games at home, so we can’t write them off yet. Tonight is a must win for the Lakers or their season is pretty much done. I’m hoping they win, even if it just extends the series a little longer than 4 games.
I think the Lakers win at home long as Davis comes to play. It would make for a very interesting narrative if the Lakers went down 3 games in the series and came back to tie it and go to a game 7 though. Ratings would go through the roof for game 7.

Or at least Davis should be healthy. If he is healthy 100% and playing at home then we should expect to have a good game from him and taking the lead from Lebron James. The problem is that we don't know if he is not feeling anything, for Lebron I think he has twisted his ankle on game 2 but I think he can go and play at home because this is a must win for him.

As far as Boston and the Heat goes though, Boston blew it and that series is over. You can't lose 2 at home and hope to win 2 on the road deflated. Tatum has to take control and he's just not been doing that.

It's very unusual for the Celtics to lost back to back at home and Tatum cant' find his rhythm. But remember they are down 3-2 against the Sixers and won one at the road and then finished them at home. So let's see if they can steal game 3 against the Heat and then make game 4 crucial for both team.
