1321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: January 20, 2022, 03:54:14 PM
Pretty Much many are for Errol Spence Jr. and he is on hype right now, a come back from that car accident is a tremendous feat for Spence, and I surely salute him for that, but many here can not take off the fact that Yordenis Ugas is one tough bastard to crack open, but I do believe in Errol Spence Jr. capabilities, and for now, I will stick to it.

Spence may not be able to KO Ugas but he will win via judges' scorecards, the same defeat will happen on Ugas against Porter because Spence is an aggressive animal in the ring and much better than Porter. If Ugas cannot handle the power of Spence, then most likely the fight will end in KO.

I hope to see some opposite of our expectation, Ugas has a lot to prove in this fight, but people's belief will never change that Spence is the better fighter.

Ugas may lose but I don't expect a KO on him too.

per his record, he maybe not be undefeated but he has never tasted a KO loss yet, the good thing about him is he continued to fight, and beating Manny Pacquiao was probably the biggest success of his boxing career although we will say that he beat Pacman because he already past his prime and already old.

I really wonder until when Lebron will have to carry the team. He tried to do it again against Pacers this time but they lost the game by 111-104. Lakers have been in a very bad form recently. They were able to win only once in their last five games. And this form affects their position in the conference standings too. If they don't start collecting themselves, they might be under the risk of not being able to qualify for the playoff round. And this really wouldn't make Lebron happy at all.

Not recent though, we have been seeing how bad the team is, even at the pre-regular season. But others give it a pass for the Lakers since it's just pre-regular games. But since we are more than halfway of the regular seasons and they are below .500 mark and in the bottom half of the playoff draw, it's obvious that they are really in a bad form.

Of course he will always try every game to bring a win for the Lakers, but the others will have to step up and help him. AD has been missing though, so that a big void to fill in. But at least veterans like Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony should help Lebron and be consistent.

What's important now is they will have an impressive end of the regular season, however, without Davis that would unlikely happen. I hope Davis will return soon as the team is badly needing him, and as per rumors, he will be playing soon.

Lakers are reportedly optimistic Anthony Davis can return during upcoming road trip

Quote
Anthony Davis’ long-awaited return is in the offing for the Lakers following head coach Frank Vogel revealing that he has been cleared for on-court activity after Monday’s win over the Jazz. And while there is not an exact date set for his return yet, initial reports seem to indicate it could be in the coming days and games.

Per Dan Woike and Broderick Turner of the LA Times, Davis’ return could come during the upcoming road trip for the Lakers, a six-game stint away from The Crypt that begins on Friday, Jan. 21 in Orlando and lasts until Sunday, Jan. 30 in Atlanta:

Looks like the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight is not happening any time soon. They were in talks about the fight and were about to schedule it in Las Vegas.
But as per recent news it is being said that the fight has not be licensed/sanctioned in Las Vegas which again will delay the whole process.
May be we will have to wait few more months before the match goes live.

source : https://news.yahoo.com/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-130232404.html
After the news that there seems to be a mutual agreement that they're going to fight for $50M. There goes these follow ups that says that it's not going to happen. But it's good to see that the first news about it was just a rumor and not true. This is much better to see that there's real representative for Tyson to verify the rumors that have been circulating on the internet. Just another article that says that they won't fight from Forbes.
Source: No, Mike Tyson Is Not Fighting Jake Paul, Representative Says
That $50 million will never happen, the fight even if it will happen will not sell that much money. This is an exhibition fight, not a championship fight, it doesn't deserve to get that huge money, and maybe why it didn't happen is because they are asking too much money that the promoter could not give.
1324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 20, 2022, 10:00:26 AM

I'm not gonna be surprised If Vogel will be fired in the next couple of game losses. He even benched Westbrook in the crucial 4th quarter versus the Pacers tonight. Because he thinks the other guys that brought a Laker win versus the Jazz last night could still pull it tonight.
Of course, you can't blame him because Westbrook has been inconsistent, he is experimenting, and this game the result was not good. Also, I would not be surprise if he gets fired, at this stage, there should be no more experimentation, they should also achieve some consistency.

The Pacers were them with rebounds because the Lakers are playing undersized since AD got injured.
I also think Vogel should give Dwight enough minutes to help the team and get him to the rhythm.
I read a lot of suggestions about that, but it's the coach's decision, we can't change that.
1325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: January 20, 2022, 07:18:16 AM
If GGG looses to Murata, then a trilogy GGG vs Canelo might happen, or if Canelo looses to Ilunga Makabu a trilogy might happen? Sorry, I did not get what you tried to say.



I think he is referring to Canelo losing against a heavy opponent in Cruiserweight, because if he loses, he will have to go down as that means he cannot beat a natural heavy fight, with that, there's a possibility that he will meet GGG in a trilogy.

This is only an speculation as we don't really know their plans, what if GGG is done chasing Canelo, or what if Canelo already close the book on a trilogy fight even if there's a lot of money to be made.

It is obvious by now that Canelo is no longer interested for a GGG fight. He has move on already, fights at 168 lbs, unify the belts, fight LHW won, and now going up to CW division and still on top of his game. While GGG as much as we wanted to see him still fight in the next 2-3 years, might be just unwinding and getting all the money as he can before he retires. So a win here is good for his legacy wise and might fight 1-2 more before hanging his gloves for good as he is going well over 40 years old and might lose to younger guys in his division with the likes of Charlo who is coming as the new cat in 160 lbs.

I wouldn't close the door of possibility yet, maybe after Canelo wins against a fighter in CW division, it's a good sign that he will stay in that division and try to play his game like what he did in his past division where he became an undisputed champion, for now, let's just wait and see and continue speculating.

Meanwhile, there's a rumor that Banchero might leave the Phoenix super LPG, where do you think he will sign?

COLUMN: Chris Banchero leaving Phoenix a 'big possibility,' says insider

Banchero maybe not be happy with his role with his current team. Looking for a new team might help him show his full potential, we know that he is good and his best season was when he was still playing with the Alaska Aces. Not sure if it's possible, but if there's a case he will be back, maybe he will be a big help to the team as they need a good point guard.
1327  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should we sell all crypto now? on: January 19, 2022, 09:14:58 PM
All crypto is dropping now because of FED. It seems that it’s the start of the bearish market. Should we sell all crypto now?
As of the day you made this post, Bitcoin was trading around the $42-$45k which is still not far from the current price Bitcoin is trading on today of around $41k - $42k. From the look of the daily bitcoin chat, it seems Bitcoin price is hovering around a good resistance and might see an uptrend if the support holds but I do think if you didn't sell while BTC price was higher, there's no need at this point cus you might just end up selling low and buying high, just my thought. 
Sell when the price is right, but definitely this is not the right time to sell because all the coins' prices are declining, you will only end up in huge losses. Just wait until you see the coins reaching their new peaks so you will certainly make good profits with it. But for now, buying at the dip will be the right thing to do. And if the market turns even more bearish, i think it will give another opportunity to buy more since the prices are greatly declining. And once we have bought and hold already, sit back and enjoy the ride while waiting for the bullish season to takes place in the market.

however, you can't blame the majority to believe that Spence will win, that's normal.

Normal thing and bookies sees that as Spence is the favorite to win, in fact, he is a heavy favorite. For most of the fans, it's easy for them to choose but we never know what will happen in the actual fight as Ugas is a champion, he knows how to win and he love being a champion, so he stake a lot in this fight.

Ugas is +270 to win. That's decent odds for an underdog who is also a champion. If people will underestimate him, then most likely they will not grab the Ugas odds, instead they'll risk their money on the -400 odds for Spence which means they'll bet $400 to win $100, it's too risky IMO.

Many people today would like to join into the trading and cryptocurrency world and guess what's the reason it looks easy when you watch and you can get profit immediately with just predicting the market trend. It's just a basic thing to look but it requires knowledge, skills, strategy and of course, the emotion to handle every time to make a trade. As possible make an introduction to them that its a crypto any decision you made might change very time. sometimes we cannot avoid people blaming others because of the decision they made.
The problem is that a lot of people that are trading inflate stories and unknowingly or knowingly deceives people because they will get something out of it and an average person is stupid and they will end up having to believe those stories and think that they will be able to do the same thing which isn't the case because we all know how hard trading is when we do there.
Well, an aspirant trader can only prove it if he experience trading on his own. And by then he will realized that trading is never an easy thing, that making quick profits in trading without extra effort will never be possible.

However, for those who trade that made a lot of preparations to improve oneself will always seen successful in trading. Because in trading, its not just about how big is your capital, but more on your knowledge and skills, your special strategies, your patience, and your positive mindset that will always make a trader lasts longer and sustain its profit consistency.
1331  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cryptocurrency status at the beginning of the year on: January 19, 2022, 08:34:39 AM
I would say this is the case every single year, last week of the year and beginning of the year has always been bearish but I don't think we need to worry much because bitcoin has found stability around $40k and we have to worry only if bitcoin drop further and unable to touch $40k mark for over a week. We may or may not experience bull run like last time but definitely we will see gradual improvement if bitcoin manages to stay above $40k for a while.
The lowest bitcoin price during this month's decline was at $40k and currently the bitcoin price is still at $41k so it is unlikely that there will be a further decline beyond the low during this downturn, as bitcoin has tried several times so far to return to its previous price but bitcoin can only last $43k-$44k, so I agree with your opinion that the price of bitcoin will gradually rise again.
Bitcoin has sustain its price at $41k since its value is always on the range between $41k to $43k and then its drops again. So for me, bitcoin is not yet totally bullish or even bearish on its part. But knowing the market is anticipating for the incoming bear season, then there will be high chances that bitcoin will still fall deeper on the next few days. It will only recover if there will be positive news that can trigger to push the price, and once the bear season will be over.
1332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Uruguay installs its first Bitcoin ATM on: January 18, 2022, 09:27:29 PM
Recently, Uruguay’s first crypto ATM was installed in the city of Punta del Este, a major tourist city in Uruguay, and become the 11th South American country to publicly promote crypto adoption.
Two local cryptocurrency corporations are developed and installed the first crypto ATM in the country. (URUBit and inBierto). The ATM mainly supports deposits and withdrawal of BTC, BNB BUSD, FRT, URUB. URUB and  FRT are managed and developed by URUBit and inBierto. The two companies are controlled and funded by the government of Uruguay.
The numbers are adoption increasing rapidly .I think they are very smart and try to adapt with the next digital world .Btc is really a great asset for us and the world are are turning into it .I think Uruguay's govt has made the right decision on early times .They are definitely ahead on the upcoming days and technology .I am really upset about Asian countries ,Why they are still ignoring it .I don't have any idea but i am really expecting to get few positive news on upcoming days .However really i am feeling happy to get a good news once again hope we will get more news on upcoming days .
Well, this is certainly a positive news for bitcoin but its not enough for bitcoin price to surge high again. Its good that more countries right now are starting to be aware on bitcoin, and in fact it could even add to the progress of the country's economy once they decide to go into deeper with bitcoin like having it as a legal tender like what El Salvador has did. Well, having their own bitcoin atm machine is already a good start so that the citizens will be aware on bitcoin and later on, they will develop their interest on it since its atm machine is already available in their country.
1333  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will 2022 be the year of ETH 2.0? on: January 18, 2022, 08:31:47 PM
Was there really a specific time frame for the release of eth2.0 because all i seem to hear so far is guess from community members, i haven't heard any official statement regarding the exact date and time of the launch, it is sounding more like a myths than reality, probably because i stop looking forward to it and accept that eth gas fee will always be high.
I also think that way. Its already been over a year that we are experiencing the expensive gas fee and yet until now, it's still not addressed. So now i'm already get used to it but i still wish that in the near future, it will somehow be resolve. Because i know the demand for ethereum will definitely increase once there is affordable gas fee that anyone will enjoy and feel convenient about it. Although at the present ethereum is still in a good position but it will be quite better once it is upgraded into ethereum 2.0 and fix the issue.

Feels like a new bubble may comes up again as the best and safest alternative plan for them to keep the league going and of course the revenue. I don't know what's the mitigation plan by the government it feel like we really lost the confidence in them but the fault shouldn't be on them at least since we also have these hard-headed individuals who can't control themselves to get affected, I think most pinoys do.

We've been this before and I'm still hoping we can decrease it once again, hopeful that this will slow down.
Hopefully they'll grab that opportunity to play on a bubble again so they can finish the conference in time, this spike on cases is very unfortunate but we have no option now aside from this. I'm confident that we are slowly adopting this new normal, and the spike on cases will become normal as well let's hope for the real vaccine this year so we can move forward now, this is just like the other viruses before, we can survive on this.
The thing is, will the bubble require these players to get vaccinated? I don't know the details in regards to players who are and aren't yet vaccinated but I think it will be imminent if they wanted it this time again. Well, this too shall pass, we can sure survive this, the necessary thing is we must be willing to do so like the vaccination and other nice factors should come to play if we really wanted it.
Before the season was on pause, I think all the players are already required to get vaccinated so they can play, and now if they will set up a bubble, vaccination should not be an issue as they will just stay in one location, lesser chances that the virus will enter if they do the right health protocol. Do they announce already that they have plans to set up a bubble again? I guess it's too expensive for them, are they willing to spend again?
1335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: January 18, 2022, 02:01:52 PM
If there will be unification fight that will happen in the future,

There is one, the fight between Spence and Ugas is a unification fight.

Ugas is currently the WBA welterweight champion while Spence is the WBC welterweight champion.

reference :
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/541777 ..https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/629465

That's an exciting fight, majority are on Spence to win, but Ugas is really a tough champion, he hasn't been KO in his past losses so I can say that he is a durable fighter who could give Spence his first loss then he will be out of the top boxers in the ranking.

_____________

Crawford is just waiting because he is the current WBO welterweight champion.
He has an easier journey, but now that his contract with Top rank is over, he can get a more challenging fight to push his limit.

But for now, it will take at least a year or two before we see both boxers at the subject (Thurman or Barrios) to challenge either Spence, Ugas, or Crawford. Those 3 are expected to face each other this year to settle anything at Welterweight division.

My speculation is, if Thurman will win here, he won't go directly to a big challenge next. There will be at least 1-2 boxers on the mid-tier rank he will probably requested to fight instead of jumping right away to those in top. He can do that all this year.

His main purpose is to have a championship fight, so if he is given a chance, I'm sure he will grab it. Honestly, I have doubts that the Spence vs Crawford fight will happen anytime soon, why? because if they want to fight each other, it could have happen years ago.
1336  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is ethereum still a viable alternative to Bitcoin? on: January 18, 2022, 08:53:09 AM
Both ethereum and Bitcoin are at a stable price right now, ethereum still maintained its almost 4k price and bitcoin rely on around the 50k region but those investors looking for quick profits are looking for better options between the two so should one remain with Bitcoin or should look for another option like ethereum so what will you advise for a new investor.

Despite the recent slight drops in prices, I believe that Bitcoin and Ethereum are still a very stable investment when it comes to the cryptocurrency market. If someone likes higher risk, of course, he can try his luck by investing in less stable cryptocurrencies, but he must be avare with the fact that he has the same chance to earn a lot and lose a lot. I think the best solution is to invest partly in BTC and ETH and some in more risky altcoins.
I agree. Investing in both bitcoin and ethereum can assure us that there will be more gains compared to losses. In fact, we won't be losing if we don't sell them at a lower value. So hodling them both can still be profitable in the long run. But i suggest, invest in bitcoin with a higher allocation since its always reach a limitless price, and ethereum which is always next to bitcoin.
1337  Economy / Economics / Re: BTC: is it really bearish? on: January 18, 2022, 08:33:30 AM
This is the bear market that making speculators had been talking about and it's the best time to accumulate more positions of Bitcoin and altcoins because I am certain that soon the bull run will overtake the bear in slumber and take up the race to the top breaking another height that will shock making people including Investors and holders. Bitcoin is surely going to be sent to the space not just the moon.
Seeing how bitcoin price moves these days, i know it will lead to its bearish season that will pull the bitcoin price more. And for sure, some investors and long term hodlers will panic more seeing the price of bitcoin continues to fall. Maybe this time, it will reach $30k price level if this bear season will stay longer, but on the bright side it will open more opportunity for us so we can start buying bitcoin and good altcoins at their very low prices. This is a good preparation indeed so we can gain huge profits once bullish season will take over the bearish market.

I'm thinking about investing in metapsyche Token. It's brand new and IDO is available to purchase on their website. They'll be having a presale on Pinksale after their IDO is done then they plan on launching on pancakeswap after that. I'm not 100% about it but the project itself seems pretty amazing.
If you find it more legit and will come out more successful based on what have you researched, then you are very free to put your luck in it and invest even in just a minimal amount. What matters is that you never invest on an amount you can never afford to lose.

However, if you are still in doubt, then stick with those old yet promising projects. Established projects are most likely to end up successful than to put your trust on new projects and end up making you scammed.
1339  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you have any favorite superstititions when trading crypto on: January 17, 2022, 08:23:23 PM
Nothing really, belief in something that may or may not exist and at the same time using it for trading, I don't think that it's really a good thing for someone to do because you're being irresponsible to your actions and you don't believe in your own trading skills so you rely on superstitions to move in trading. The only superstition that I believe in is the Fear and Greed Index.
Well, of course even if you do believe in some superstitions that you think will bring luck to you, it does not mean that you should stop learning and trusting your own skills in trading. You should still improve it as much as you can, but believing in superstitions won't also bring any harm to us so why not try. After all, it if does not work, then we have nothing to lose. I really never have that beliefs when i trade, but mostly i don't trade when i see myself not motivated because it may only be the reason for me to fail in trading and lose my money.
1340  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC has crossed $43k what's next? on: January 16, 2022, 09:34:22 PM
Bitcoin potential is around the clock , each moment is a chance to increase  but of course we can expect more dumping this year because of the situation , looking at the market now? maybe this whole year will make us sudden delay in increase because the way prices moving now specially bitcoin is really cant tell that there will be a growth coming soon.
But by considering the growth we got last year, it is expected to have another wave of bull run this year as well. This is just a speculation based on the adoption level and media hype around the world. Still, market may surprise all of us in any ways hence acting cautious is the only next thing we need to do right ow.

besides crossing 43k is not a credible increase because look at it now? continue to maintain that lowering so yes there might be another fall coming
As of now, bitcoin market is able to sustain around $43k levels which could be interpreted as bullish signal but failing to break the resistance around $45k levels then will gain launch market into lower circuit again.
I think bitcoin is destined this time to fall again since its resistance is not that strong. Yes, it has able to sustain at $43k but i don't think it will surpass $45k, so most likely it will drop its price again that will pave the way for bearish season to finally enters the market. So its better not to be too bullish this time as it will only hurt you when the market will not meet your expectations. Just ride with the flow, and buy at the dips because this will make you more profitable once bitcoin is ready to reach its new ATH again.
