For my perspective, it is never too late to purchase Bitcoin despite the current price is high comparing to previous years specifically from 2009 to 2017. Unfortunately, people always hesitant in taking decisions and afraid especially when it comes to anything related to investment, they end up criticizing themselves for the  decisions have not taken before. In fact, Bitcoin is still progressing and providing us a short way to  reach financial stability and it could help to change our lives in an excellent manner. In addition to that, I encourage new investors to start DCA method, it is really an effective strategy to guarantee a profit with less risk but in long term.

It's because they let the other people's opinion to get ahead of them instead of having a leap of faith towards investing in bitcoin, we may have not able to get onboard on the first train but I'm quite certain of the fact that it is still not yet too late to invest. And while you're doubting yourself, many people have already made their move and probably gained some profits already.

It might be risky to think but when you're already on the process, you will be thanking yourself for having the courage despite of the feeling of having a cold feet because of the market's situation now.

By the way, next weekend is the Haney-Lomachenko event. The main supporting event is Jason Moloney's twin brother, Andrew Moloney trying to become a 2-time champion against the undefeated Japanese Junto Nakatani who is moving up in weight to become a 2 division champion. There were only a few brothers that became world champions and it's rare to see twins become champions. This might steal the show if Haney keeps on hugging and making his fight with Loma a boring one.
A twin within the same league with same debut year but in two different divisions, Andrew is now taking his attempt to take a shot WBO Superfly while his brother, Jason, is in the upper weight class who is now the WBO champion. That sums it all and to say, it is indeed rare to see a twin in a contact sport playing professionally, we may have brothers but a twin is a different discussion.

Just like what I've expected that the Philly will be forced to have someone to take the blame and now they have joined the trend, sadly it turns out that it is Doc Rivers.

Quote
The Philadelphia 76ers dismissed coach Doc Rivers on Tuesday, the team announced.

"We're grateful for all he did in his three seasons here and thank him for the important impact he made on our franchise. After having the chance to reflect upon our season, we decided that certain changes are necessary to further our goals of competing for a championship." - 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey said in a statement.
Sources

As of now, there are 5 franchises in the league that got an open slot for head coach namely Bucks, Raptors, Pistons, Suns and then we have the 76ers who just joined the party, who knows there might be some additional in the following weeks.
This is quite unfortunate to see but I understand the Suns and Sixers situation because they have been going back and forth in the playoffs now with no benefits at all.
1344  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is buying BTC now, the best option ??? on: May 16, 2023, 05:12:06 PM
Many people always ask whether buying now is the best decision, in my opinion if we want to get profit then buying immediately is the best option, don't be too afraid if after buying the price drops, but make it when the price drops it is an opportunity to buy more, based on the history of past prices happens then it's normal if the price will soon go up again.

Indeed, and personally, there's no such thing as bad news in time when market is crashing mainly if we are hodling bitcoin for a long-term basis. Instead, let's choose to see the positive side where we buy and accumulate more on a discounted price as in these type of weather, almost all coins in the market are cheap. And if you're that investor who have the leverage to buy such coin during the bull run craze then buy it immediately, there is no need to wait for the price to become cheaper as you might not get advantage when the market suddenly becomes crazy.

There are even some investors that bought bitcoin during the bull run or even when it just achieve another ATH because from their perspective, the current price doesn't really matter to them now as they believe that they are still buying the said coin at a much cheaper price as they have forecasted it that it can go as much as 5x - 10x in the future.

Why do you have to visit 3 countries?, I think if you intend to watch the world cup matches live because your country's national team will play, just look at the group phase where your country will be based camp, after that if they can advance to the next round then the United States is the choice because this country has a larger portion of organizing matches than the other two countries, but if you don't have the funds for that then it's actually not a problem because matches will always be broadcast live and that's enough in my opinion because I will like that too.

That is not a fair argument. There are millions of football fans around the world, who want to watch the world cup matches in person rather than on television. And conducting the tournament in three countries instead of one complicates things for them. The last time world cup was co-hosted was in 2002, when the matches were staged in Japan and South Korea. Even then, the distance between venues were manageable. But that is not the case with USA and Canada. Boston to San Francisco is close to 5,000 km and even by air it will take 6-7 hours. And then there are visa requirements to travel in the US. Getting a US visa can be very difficult.
I think for events in these 3 countries of course the participating countries will provide convenience whether it's visa requirements during the world cup, so there's no problem for that anyway if everything is complicated then it won't be held for this world cup event in 3 countries, it's just In my opinion, it is impossible for the organizers to make complicated permits and requirements for world cup spectators.

So there's no need to worry about permits and visa requirements because of course FIFA will also prepare easy access for spectators to enjoy this world cup event which is being held in 3 countries at once.

It's not that easy mate because it will be too dangerous for the host countries if they will just give an easy access to all the spectators just because they are holding World Cup games, especially America as this country is probably #1 on the enemy's hitlist because this country has done so much unreasonable damage during the times of war.

And let's not rule out that there will be some attempt by the enemies in the guise of being a spectator of the games, hence, it will be the opposite thing of what you're thinking as these countries will not hold back on their country's security to ensure a safe environment for all the players, organizers, spectators and of course, their own citizens. It is safe to assume that everybody else will be thoroughly searched including their soul if it's possible before they can step on these hosts land.

I wanna know your favourite meme coins and why?

Honestly, nothing! Forgive me if I may sound so frank but I don't really think that meme coins are good for us especially the beginners in the world of cryptocurrency. It might have some profits along the way but its risks are far more greater compared to the leading coins in the market right now or even in the past years, volatility will be always present but with meme coin everything is just unpredictable because most of it are just controlled by some whale(s).
1347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 13) on: May 15, 2023, 06:47:52 PM

Anyway, for Casimero, he's becoming more and more used to his new weight class and I think he can still improve his performance on his way for the championship belt. He still got some room left before he can face one of the champions before one of them will unify it. Still rooting for him to have that chance especially now that he got successive wins.

Indeed, he still have a lot of room for improvements IF he will cut on his social media involvement like vlogging and things like that. I honestly not satisfied of his performance yet and I'm not convinced  that it was a good win. I feel like he still have something in his tank better than what he just showed us with the Nghitumbwa fight. He seems like short on stamina. I think he needs more focus in practice and body conditioning especially now that he's gradually picking up the pace and building up momentum to win the future fights.

I agree, in the first fight of his career at 122 lbs, we didn't see the best of Casimero as Akaho quit. But this time, he was really push to the limit, but we have seen that he can still carry his power in this division when he throw that left hook and caught Nghitumbwa on the chin.

But if we are going to say see Casimero with his version right now? it might be a difficult fight for him in my opinion. He still needs of that timing, but at least in this fight, he has seen full 12 rounds already and he might have to rethink their training so that he will have more gas left in the fight is going to be extended the whole 12 rounds. But as we have said, this is still a win for him.

Just one to two fights more before we can say that "finally, John Riel Casimero is ready to have his chance to bite the belt", he still need some a little bit more improvement before we can say that he's already that dangerous because as of now, he still displays some weakness like endurance and lack of movement but the good thing is that Casimero eats punches which gives him some chance to stand until he can bounce back.
1348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 15, 2023, 06:26:39 PM
Kind of a predictable game.  Everyone kept saying taytum is overated and then dude drops 50 in a game 7 do or die game.  There are players and then theor are special players who rise to the occasion.  I'd take this dude on my team any day any game.  I hope they take care of business with miami and expect them to.  Gonna be tough for the east to come out and win it this year the west just looks so top heavy dominant. 
Yes, this will be written forever in Tatum's resume.  Grin Like they said, stars are born in crucial moments and he just proved it by defeating the 76ers in a blowout game.
I am kind of sad for Embiid and Harden but I don't like what Embiid said during the post-game interview.
Quote
Me and James, we can't win alone. That's why basketball is played 5-on-5. We need everybody to find ways to be better.”
https://twitter.com/CBSSports/status/1657898259195604996?s=20
There's some truth about what he said but first of all the stars should be the ones leading the way, just like how Tatum did it. And, Tucker was actually stepping up his game by making 11 points in the first half only. Tobias Harris was also aggressive and so do Tyrese Maxey.
The problem is both Harden and Embiid are ball-hogging, they spent too much time either dribbling or finding a way to get in which will just lead to turnovers. Harden especially, whenever he is in the paint, he stops, and chokes.
I don't understand why Embiid said that, perhaps he is saving himself from the rants of their fans.
Embiid was just saying nonsense at all because he doesn't want to get all the blame on why they choked again in the 2nd round, just like what happened on their run last season's playoffs. He should be the one who will lead the game and prove the people that he is indeed deserving to have that MVP award and not Jokic, but that's just too much to ask for the Philly's big man.

He just proved to us that he's not really improving at all and that their present roster are just good for regular games and not in high pressure games like playoffs.

Quote
Me and James, we can't win alone. That's why basketball is played 5-on-5. We need everybody to find ways to be better.”
I wonder what did Maxey felt about this or how did he react because he surely gave the team his best so that he can contribute well. But for Embiid, that was nothing.

Let's expect some backlash in the next few days or maybe there will be some guy again who will be forced to take the blame as that is quite trending nowadays, hopefully it's not the coach because it's not him who is the problem. Maybe they should add and remove some players in their roster because they lack offensive and defensive plus Harden is not the beard man we have known. The man is frequent in participating the post season games but every single time, he still got the same outcome.
1349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jason Moloney vs Vincent Astrolabio WBO 118lbs Title (May 13) on: May 15, 2023, 05:56:37 PM

Judging from Jason Moloney's recent performance versus Vincent Astrolabio, I can say as well that Donaire got a good chance on beating the new WBO champion for a unification fight in-case Donaire wins his campaign versus Santiago to possess the vacant WBC belt. All that is left now for Donaire is to materialize his own fight.

There are many rumors that are now surfacing in the internet but none of those made serious sense on why his bout took too long before they can make it, except for the Probellum's current situation which is Donaire's promoter.

I still believe in Donaire's capability to win a title but it's still hard to asses his motivation and his preparation coming from a devastating loss, at 40,  Donaire is not the same fighter we love seeing in a ring with his quick jab and power left hook, although only his carelessness cause him his fight against Inoue.

Donaire's camp cited some issue during the last fight against Inoue and it has something to do with the gloves.  Donaire's camp stated that Donaire used different gloves that made him feel uncomfortable/awkward during their last fight.  It may add to the advantage of Inoue but I still think Inoue will still win that fight because of the difference in physical ability.
Even if those things were true, it will not change the fact that Naoya Inoue have the full control of that fight and he got the advantage needed to defeat the aging Donaire. Even if let's say that Donaire wore the right gloves that made him comfortable enough, he might last longer but I seriously think that it will still end via KO or TKO.

His fight against Santiago will define if he can still continue or end his road, but if he can show his old form he can easily beat Moloney if Moloney's fight against Astrolabio is the best that he can come out.

Hopefully Donaire can bag this fight and have a chance for unification fight.  I hope before he hang his gloves, he can at least have another chance to a title unification fight.  Moloney knows that he won't win in the current state of Donaire so he looks for a chance to avoid Donaire and prolong the time of their possible match-up hoping that age will give a toll on Donaire.
Regarding the fact that Moloney is somehow scared towards the current Donaire, there is a good chance that he will avoid that fight at first until he can make Donaire retire. For now, Donaire should focus on his fight and making things happen because until now, there are no solid news surfacing that their championship fight is happening soon enough.
1350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 15, 2023, 05:05:05 PM

It wasn't easy for other teams, but it was easy for them. If you still remember, they did the same to the Bucks last season, although in the ECF. And now, they have repeated their dominance in the semifinals. Game 7 was a complete domination by the Celtics, and Tatum had a big bounce back after his not-so-good performance in Game 6. Now, it will be the Celtics versus the Heat. This is certainly an exciting series, and although the Heat had the easiest journey to the ECF, it's the Celtics who are the favorites to win.

Their last match was not really good and the Heat will not gonna miss this chance to get back to competing for the NBA championship this year and so as the Celtics. it will be an interesting game and might gonna also end up in game 7 because these teams right now are on fire because they have their star players playing well and it could be their last time to get back to this point so they will gonna play more intensely than ever before to get back to the NBA finals especially the Boston Celtics cause they kinda mess up last year.

Both have that mindset that they needed to bring all the best from their squad, the same goal to move forward and win the ECF and then
win the NBA finals.

I also see that angle where both teams are really hunger as we can see from the performances of their superstars. All are well coordinated and
all are really contributing the way they are needed by the team.

Though only one can win and make it to the finals, so let see if how both teams will try every knowledge and skills they've got,
from the coaches to each player that will have that chance playing the game.

Yes, both teams that has managed to get on this phase is not entirely  because of luck because they worked so hard to earn the place they have now. That said, games will be more interesting to watch and the intensity will increase as well because in this phase it will determine which team will go towards the Finals and will have the chance to earn another ring while some of them will be their first as well.

History has been made for both Western and Eastern Conference because they both have teams that are still alive since play-in tournament up until now. If this is a rematch from the bubble then maybe we will see another rematch when it comes to the Finals, what do you think folks? Is it possible?

Even if you search for thousands of years like this, you will never find your bitcoins.  To find your bitcoins you must find your private keys.  If you can't find the keys, you no longer own the wallet.You won't get your bitcoins back if you find the website though.  This is the most impossible thing to do at the moment because now it is 2023, the number of Bitcoin investors has increased a lot.It would not be possible to really trace out a record of where the coins were stored in such a long period of time.  You better come back from these activities.

Not your keys; not your coins - unknown

We all know what's the meaning behind this phrase and given the timeframe since you last opened it, it seems that it will be impossible for you to find it even if you will hire some few people to help you find it (which is not really advisable as they may see it without you knowing). Especially after the fact that you just wrote those keys in a piece of paper without having any duplicates in softcopy. Best of luck to you OP, hope you find it, really.
1352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trust in cryptocurrency? on: May 15, 2023, 03:53:51 PM
I hate to see where the current system is going. I live in Europe, and here the government wants to cancel all paper money and force us to pay with our credit cards.
I'm surprised that you live in Europe but many people there aren't familiar with crypto. Moreover, it seems your government prefers to use digital currency over paper money, people there should be a bit familiar with digital currency like Bitcoin.

Anyway, can you tell me why your government has the intention to cancel paper money? As far as I know, most governments like to use paper money (fiats). Especially like in my country, there will be a big problem if the government removes paper money and only use credit cards. It is something hard to apply for low-class economy people. Unless you live in a rich country where all the citizens are at a high-class economic level.
You will be surprised to know that not all people that are from Europe truly have the intention of using Bitcoin or investing in it because they never truly have trust in it since it's not controlled by the government.
Is not they have never heard about it but they don't even care about diving into it. I have a friend that currently lives in Greece and the last time we talked was 2years ago before we lost contact cause he's into Medical practitioner (Doctor to be precise) I ask if he heard he said yes but he never want to go into its base on trusting the system.


Most probably because of the current monetary system and that's the only thing they trusted because it's backed by the government and then there's this reason from them that it's much easier to use and to carry without having some troubles as long as you obtained it legally.
Little did they know that the government have already successfully controlled them people into using fiats rather than having some other things that does not lose its value overtime and I certainly believe that it's our duty (us who know about crypto) to tell them what's new these days that there's another way how to avoid inflation.

Definitely. It doesn't look like Maloney is a winner inside the ring. He just keeps ducking and throwing fewer punches. While Astro keeps the center and pushes Maloney to the corner every time. Yet the majority decided he is the winner. Heck is wrong with these judges.

I didn't bet nor watch it live. Though this is a belt fight, Astro is not a popular fighter, which I guess only a few may have bet.  I watched it on youtube though. Seem a boring fight but sure to me Astro is the winner.

Right? Even the people who watched the fight live didn't buy the judge's decision to make it in-favor to Moloney. Another cooking show happened in broad daylight!

At least boxing commission should take a look on this or at least the Filipino boxer deserves to have a rematch but unfortunately, I will not be surprised if Moloney will not give it a chance because he knows himself that he just got lucky because he was being favored but there will be no next time if he chooses to push his luck for a rematch.

I think it is not about investing as much as Qatar did, because nobody really needs to invest as much as they did, it was a stupid move to give the world cup to a nation that had to invest that much to be worthy of it, makes no sense at all. It is official that it was bribery that made Qatar win it, hell Fifa CEO ended up getting fired for accepting bribe, what else proof do we even need?

Hosting the World Cup in Qatar was proof that money is what defines the course of the biggest football event in the world.
FIFA CEO sacked? That's the least that should happen, don't believe that corruption ends there, because this was just a "deal" made because someone needed to be punished, but I'm sure there's a lot more rotten garbage in Fifa than just the CEO.

I believe the 2026 world cup will be "less corrupt" as FIFA needs to clear its name after what happened in Qatar.

We will likely see about that after the next FIFA world cup but I slightly agree with you because after what happened, they will certainly have a low profile for a moment so that they will not be in the middle of the heat but they cannot deny that they were being biased at that point because after all this is an entertainment business. What happened recently about CEO getting sacked was just their step to get their hands clean and I seriously agree that there's a much bigger picture than that.
1355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco - May 20 on: May 14, 2023, 04:35:44 PM

Kambosos is easy to read because he is not a technical boxer, but Loma, who has been in this industry for a while, possesses the experience that will be advantageous against him. This matchup is undoubtedly thrilling, with Haney being the favorite while Loma aims to prove himself, as some perceive him to be past his prime. While we cannot predict the outcome of this fight, I personally like to bet on the underdog.

This fight should not be like that of Kambosos because we know how Loma can throw punches from multiple angles and also he has the speed and power compared to Haney's last opponent. By the way, both of them have a chance to prove their worthiness right here and this fight might gonna be Loma's last one if he will be beaten hard and Haney should not slack off either because it could be a career destroyer for him if he is knocked out and his weakness will appear after that just like Amir Khan.

Both of them knows their consequences well if they will be defeated in this bout but if ever the fight is just close one, I guess a rematch might surface afterwards and the hype will start calling for it too knowing that Haney and Loma got their own fan bases. But if it's just a one sided fight, both of them will have a career ending because both of them might have to start from the scratch to earn their place.

Sure, but this boxers are elite and so the risk is worth taking for them, imagine if Haney won, it will cement his legacy as undisputed champion. As for Loma, if he wins then his life long dreams of being a undisputed champion. So that is already a risk that they are willing to take for the sake of their careers.

I heard interviews though that the the Father of Haney approaches the manager of Loma 4 years ago and asking if they can have a fight. But the camp of Loma says that Haney that time is relatively unknown. Past forward 4 years, now Haney is the champion and so this fight will have to be made.

Can't blame Lomachenko if he denied Haney and his father that fight because back at that time, the latter was a nameless boxer and don't have any good names in his career while Loma is looking forward to be the undisputed boxer, so it's reasonable that Loma didn't entertain Haney is that will not give him any benefit. Little did we know, the tables will turn four years after and it's now Loma seeking for Haney.

Few days more to go.

I was not able to watch the fight but we have a winner.



source : https://www.facebook.com/ESPNKnockOut/

I need to watch the replay to see how Moloney won this fight. I believe he had a good chance of winning since he was the slight favorite, and it seems like he made the right decision by avoiding Donaire. I'm curious to see how he managed to secure the victory.

Just to help you, here's the fight highlights of Moloney vs Astrolabio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX2PWMTX4d4

Seeing the replay did not really convinced me that Moloney won that fight, I know that I'm leaning towards the Filipino boxer but I'm not that biased, it's just that the scoring wasn't that on-point. Majority Decision was correct but the winner is not, and you can see why people who watched the fight live are not satisfied by the result as they boo-ed Moloney and the judges after the winner was announced.

I also looked on the comments below and I'm not that surprised to see that many fans are not that swayed by the result either. There was no significant performance made by Moloney and he was just practically cycling around the ring when he tasted Astrolabio's punch.

^ No game 6 Klay, I thought he will be the one helping Steph in this game, but it was Donte DiVincenzo. Bad time for the Warriors to really caught up with their bad shooting.

On the other hand, the Lakers doesn't want to go to game 6, Bron and AD, Austin Reaves and D'Lo wanted to finished the series.

You really have to give it to their new coach for the adjustments here. And Pat Beverly and Russell Westbrook chance to get a ring is still alive with the Lakers eventhough they are no longer with them as far as I know.

Hard to expect that because beforehand, Klay Thompson didn't have any significant contribution that helped the team and despite the franchise's trust that he could explode in Game 6, that didn't happen at all and that his recent stats in post season will probably reflect on their perspective towards Klay Thompson's contract. And then there's Jordan Poole who's been shooting bricks after having a humungous $100+ Million contract extension.

Lakers on the other hand is now enjoying their victory for overcoming the 2nd round against the defending champs but it's not over yet because they will be tested again by the Denver Nuggets which by the way is a silent killer in the league right now.

   -  That's really bad, just because of the addiction to gambling and just to relieve it, even one's own grandson will be used just for money.
This is just one of the bad effects of gambling addiction.

So it's really important that you have self-control so that you don't end up like this. This is shameful and it is not normal for someone to do this. It's actually a psychological problem. It's sad when old people are still like that.
That is why addiction is supposed to be avoided by all means. Once you are addicted to something, that very thing becomes more important to you even more than  your own family and friends. It is just like someone being intoxicated and will be doing things out of their consciousness.
The war against gambling addiction should be intensified and that is the reason why some countries ban gambling in total because of the adverse negative effects that may be out of control.

Yes, it's really an unfortunate incident because out of all the people, it's the grandfather who took his own grand daughter to blackmail his own family. Every addict knows this feeling and some are even selling almost everything inside their house, some even resort to breaking other house just to feed their minds to continue from gambling, they just don't know what they're doing because it's already on their system which prevents them to weigh things from right or wrong.

I agree with that, I know that casinos and other gambling platforms are good for the nation's economy because the millions worth of tax will be helpful to build infrastructures and other things needed but if the nation is already booming already, it's time to ban these kind of activities because the consequences are not really worth it. Take for example South Korea, they have their own casinos but only the tourists can use it and not their own citizens as it's viewed as unlawful act and doing such will result into a jailtime.

This matchup is undoubtedly thrilling, with Haney being the favorite while Loma aims to prove himself, as some perceive him to be past his prime. While we cannot predict the outcome of this fight, I personally like to bet on the underdog.

This fight should not be like that of Kambosos because we know how Loma can throw punches from multiple angles and also he has the speed and power compared to Haney's last opponent. By the way, both of them have a chance to prove their worthiness right here and this fight might gonna be Loma's last one if he will be beaten hard and Haney should not slack off either because it could be a career destroyer for him if he is knocked out and his weakness will appear after that just like Amir Khan.

Both of them knows their consequences well if they will be defeated in this bout but if ever the fight is just close one, I guess a rematch might surface afterwards and the hype will start calling for it too knowing that Haney and Loma got their own fan bases. But if it's just a one sided fight, both of them will have a career ending because both of them might have to start from the scratch to earn their place.

On the contrary, it was Moloney who says that Vincent and his team thought that he is an easier fight for Astrolabio, as compare to Emmanuel Rodriguez and that's why they go that route.

Rodriguez beat Moloney before, and this according to Jason could be the reason why Vincent Astrolabio and his camp chooses him instead of Rodriguez. But in any case, Moloney is the slight favorite so it's not a easier fight for Vincent here. This fight is going to happen this weekend, so another good one store for us and we will see a new champion after this fight.

Well, these two certainly got their own reasons why they agreed on this fight because I don't really think that Moloney himself didn't see something from Astrolabio that he think he can take advantage and make his chances stronger. They can point their fingers as long as they want but the fact will not change, both of them will have to prove their existence in the industry and fight for the belt they wanted.

Didn't notice that this fight is so near already, hope you guys already placed your bets. Cheesy

Very well said. It's not that Astrolabio is underestimating Moloney because of his defeat against Rodriguez and Inoue, they just view it as their own advantage because they have more fights to refer and to see which points they should consider to increase their winning chance compared to Moloney's position because his opponent, Astrolabio, have losses much earlier in his career so it will be hard for them to consider that as there will be some improvements along the years that have passed.
