1381  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Popular projects and none popular projects on: October 05, 2022, 11:35:03 PM
If I invest in a popular project does that make my money safe from scams or popular projects can turn to scam as well?

Let's define what "popular" is meant for everyone.

Popular by hype?
Popular as it's now established?
Popular just on what you think?

Technically, there's no way we can determine if a certain project will turn into a scam but for an already established project that already reached the status of being a well-known popular, the risks of being scammed won't likely happen.

I don't think the crash will be as hard as it was before. A lot of things has changed since then, and we definitely have more players in the game that are already involved in the crypto market that would surely not want the price to go lower than their entry points. If there will be a crash, it will be somewhat subtle and we can surely take the blow.

Honestly, this year was the hardest compared to before.

Imagine from around $60,000 peak last March 2021, wherein it the growth was at 963% during the prior 12 months, the current price is now sitting at $19,000 to $20,000. I agree with you that for every crash that will happen in the future, the community is now used to it as we are not talking about the market will really crash into the worst bottom.

That was unlikely to happen*.

He is still young, his NBA dream is not over yet.

As long as he continues to play, he will continue to learn and eventually improve, and maybe a few years from now we will see him as the first pure-blooded Filipino in the NBA. He got the height, he can shoot outside, what's lacking in him is his maturity and which can be earned through experience, also, he needs to grow his body.

Defending Andre Ayon in a low post is already a big experience for Kai Sotto even if it's just an exhibition match.

That kid really got that damn improved for years. I do remember him when he was still soft as a tissue. He really stays focused and disregards his critics during the time he was still new to the international game.

I hope he will get his NBA dream.
1384  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: October 03, 2022, 11:49:35 PM
We never know when upset may take place, but likewise, it's possible and it happens in every sport, especially in boxing.

Upset really happened but not in this match. Cheesy

Unless Inoue suffers an injury while training and still decide to push for the fight, that's an advantage for Butler.

The reason is clear why upset won't happen. Butler doesn't have the power to bring down Inoue for let's say an event where Butler is able to connect lots of punches. Inoue's build is really strong and in order to slow him down, his opponent should really have that strong punch which, unfortunately, Butler doesn't have.

The long wait for the fans will now happen this week as Bay Area Dragons will now face a considered top team in the league which is Brgy. Ginebra.

Their tip-off will happen on Sunday, at 6:45 PM, PH Time, and I'm expecting a huge crowd for this game.

They should have set it on Mall of Asia Arena instead of PhilSports Arena. Smiley A good game to watch live.

I don't mind if that lucky 9 hits the winning jackpot combination. Even though it's almost close to impossible that the result was skip counting by 9, we can't do anything if that really the result. What I was surprised by is the number of jackpot winners which really makes me think that there's a fraud there.

Maybe they want to split that big prize for more in favor of them but in reality, there might be only 1-2 winners.

It's even more difficult to have up to 2 winners for every jackpot and here, a whooping 433 winners. Shocked
1387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling, tourism and legal gambling age for gamblers around the world. on: October 03, 2022, 11:35:40 PM
Anything below 18 years old age i personally regards as underaged while in gambling i also count 21 years old and below as underaged, this are age limits where by a child shouldn't be exposed to certain things like gambling than facing their studies and make useful opportunity out from their youthful age in learning good things, a child can play games at home, in school but not to start gambling at early stage of his life.

As I always said there's no 100% effective way for these minors not to encounter gambling in their daily life. Even within their classroom or while playing with their friends, gambling has a chance to be involved in their topic.

For me, don't prevent encountering gambling but rather be open to them and discuss what gambling is. Trust those minors that they will be responsible if ever they will try to test the waters there because of their curiosity.

Anyway back to the topic, even though I'm a gambler it's not necessary for me to try gambling stuff in a certain country since I'd rather enjoy the beauty of that country because of the short timeframe of staying there.

What you told us is actually basic for me. Well then, you are new to that sh*t so be careful not to be carried away. Smiley

Long story short, then just follow that analysis of yours if you think that was effective for you.

All I can say is good luck with your bet and I hope your fearless analysis will bring more profits to you.
1389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think this is gambling? [Collectibles & Gambling] on: October 03, 2022, 11:27:50 PM
Do you consider doing this a form of gambling?
Would you dare to do the same thing for the sake of earning money or do you think it would be a bad idea?

It depends on how a person thinks about buying a Pokemon Card like what's the purpose of buying it.

There are reasons why users are doing stuff like that e.g for collection, investment, or trading.

For collection, then they don't care if they spend decent to get those cards. For investment, it's like hoarding those good cards and then sell later in the future. For trading, a chance to get a decent card in exchange for several cards of yours.

I personally think it would be a bad idea since the chances of pulling out a good card is fairly small, one needs to really like the game/cards in order to open an unsealed box of such value.

I will rephrase this statement of yours, "it's a bad idea if you don't know anything about Pokemon cards". Smiley

That's how poor the basketball operations here in the country are regarding international competitions. Slow actions.

I don't see how it will bring an impact anymore to the National team if they will naturalize Justin Brownlee just now. He is now in his post-prime period and even though he can still be a good help, his dominance is now just effective against locals and neighboring countries. That's the reality. Although he can still be a big help in the events such as SEAGames, ASIAN Games, Invitationals, Jones Cup, and the same-tier leagues.

In big basketball competitions like FIBA, they only allowed 1 naturalized player per team. The decision on who will be chosen as the naturalized player for Gilas in FIBA is a crucial decision that's why they need to find a young potential instead and just allow Brownlee to enjoy his remaining years playing here in our local league as an import even though he is open for becoming a naturalized player.

Don't get me wrong. I want Brownlee to be part of the Gilas pool competing in FIBA in the future but should be done much earlier.

I think that we have bottomed already because I can't imagine what would cause the Cascade that we had I mean back in June we had a Cascade way worse than March 2020.

And it makes sense to think. I also can't imagine what kind of worst thing that can be happened that far even more worst compare to those supposed reasons way back in the much deeper and reddish bear market before.

More importantly, the bottom today is considered a high price before.

We will surely see a newly established bottom in every bear market that was a considered dream price before.
1392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: October 02, 2022, 10:46:41 PM
We also have to consider the opinion of Butler's camp because everyone is free to express their opinion based on the facts in the previous fight, I'm also waiting for a response about the defense for Butler because there are many things I want to know about his fighting style.

Even though the majority support Inoue but whatever it is just initial speculation not an opinion for the final result because the dominating boxing fight does not mean the winner but the knockout blow belongs to anyone boxer.

I understand your whole sentiment but sorry to say that even though I want to become fair and square in judging this fight, I can't really apply your statement and views if we are talking about "Paul Bulter" against "The Monster". Maybe in other boxing matches, we can apply your concern but not in this specific match.

I might sound bias toward Inoue but sorry to say that Butler didn't go through a tough and competitive way when he acquired his WBO title. Although it's not his fault as he just goes with the flow, I can assume already that if Casimero vs Butler happened, no way Butler can win against the PH's Quadro Alas.
1393  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos Exclusion of Chicken Invaders: the Xmas version (My favourite) on: October 02, 2022, 10:36:23 PM

I don't see how house edge, RTP, or any sort of provably fair algorithm, etc. will be applied to that game as that was considered a strategy-based game or more of a skill game. Casino games are not meant to be played with a strategy. That's not how casino games are supposed to be. I also don't see how casino owners will earn fairly and decently on that game as it was more suitable in a tournament-based system wherein there will be a leaderboard.

I think OP will have a hard time finding that game or at least having the same game concept in crypto-casinos.

Goodluck searching that game under a crypto-casino platform.
1394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Casino Licenses on: October 02, 2022, 10:23:13 PM
The licenses are in fact only intended for a casino to be able to offer it legally. Other than that, you really have nothing to do with it. There are a few organizations that want to offer a certain amount of help, but if you really have a complaint then you will be turned off again. As a player you should not expect anything from the license commissions, they are only there to increase their own bank account. In any case, you have some sort of starting point if your gambling site has a license, that is the advantage. Yet that says nothing about the reputation of a gambling site.

That was a misleading impression about having a license. Clearly, you just consider the license as just as simple paper with no use at all.

Didn't you know that authenticity for every business is a must? Having a license is the start of becoming a credible company. And the result? More users will likely stay on your platform as you are working legally. Customers will also have a feeling that they are in a safe place as a licensed company won't likely do some irregularities because if these companies will do that, they will face the wrath of the authorities who has jurisdiction over them.

I partially agree with you though that having a license doesn't reflect the whole reputation of a gambling site but as you also mentioned, licensing is intended to make the casino legal.
1395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Woman Abandons 4-year-old Child In Gambling Shop As Collateral After Huge Losses on: October 02, 2022, 09:10:02 PM
People who are addicted to gambling have done crazy things as a result of their addiction. Nonetheless, I never imagined reading a story as unbelievable as this. It is the story of a woman who abandons her 4-year-old child after using him as collateral and sustaining huge losses. Firstly, I am shocked because it is the male gender who have been known to go to any lengths to satisfy their gambling addiction.  In addition, I wonder what would have moved the woman in this case to do this kind of thing. My assessment is that this is simply a case of irresponsible parenting and problem gambling. How do you think about this?

I read the article several times and I'm sure I didn't read any clear details about how that type of collateral is even possible.

Who's the one that takes the collateral? The owner of the said gambling establishment?

I'm sure that was against a law and no way the owners will accept that deal. If that woman has no money left but still wants to play, the supposed approach by the owners should be, they will ignore the woman and kick her out properly in the establishment. No money = no play, that was clear. There's no advantage for the casino owners in taking that child as collateral that's why I'm puzzled about how that deal became possible.
1396  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What's the safest bet for 3X to 5X return? on: October 01, 2022, 11:44:25 PM
Hi everyone!

I have around 40k usd and I'm looking for a 2 years investment.

What is the safest bet in your opinion?

- Bitcoin,
- Ethereum, or
- Solana?

I'm expecting a 4x in avarage... Thank you!  Grin

In that 2 years span, will you just hold, or will take advantage of the price swing?

Actually, it should be you that will decide as it's in your own hands to be a success. You can do experiments like 50% Bitcoin then do some diversifications. Since if you asked me, I will put that 100% into Bitcoin and then let it sleep for a while disregarding the risks.
1397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: October 01, 2022, 11:41:40 PM
ancajas should have the upper hand on this match because of his experience and they almost have the same age. martinez is favoured by fiat bookies here but crypto bookies may also give favour on martinez once they release their odds. if ancajas is the underdog, i think i will bet on ancajas here. i believe on his skills, just that they need to work on the weight issues. or better yet, if they win on this one, better move to higher weight division so he won't feel drained.

I'm not sure about Ancajas should have the upper hand in this fight even if he's in 100% shape on the day of the fight.

Both are healthy, I think Martinez still has the advantage. Although of course, things will be different on this rematch as Ancajas is much prepared.

Now depends on how they will execute their respective strategy.
1398  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: determine a good project on: October 01, 2022, 11:38:27 PM
what do you think about the benefits of a bear market besides taking the opportunity to make a purchase?

bearish market will be strong evidence to determine a really promising project in the future

Regardless, even if not in a bear market, as long as we see the developers are continuously working on the development and following properly the roadmap of their project, that should be a good factor to consider a working and active project.

It doesn't mean that their respective coin or token crashes the price during a bear market, they can be considered now as weak and failed.

Remember that no coin or token can withstand a bear market. If the Bitcoin price went down, all coins are bound to follow the same.
1399  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 01, 2022, 11:34:42 PM

Both winners of the games last night are come from behind a big lead.

Bay Area Dragons overcome the 16-point deficit before the half against the Phoenix FuelMaster.
Magnolia Hotshots overcome the 14-point deficit early in the 4Q against the Converge.

I'm really amazed at this new team Converge. Even on their debut at the last conference they really show competitiveness against any teams in the league. I see this team will be one of the independent teams that will soon rise to the top if they maintain that kind of performance.

Since the creation of this thread, OP is still not mentioning those big projects that somehow copied a whitepaper.

The fact that OP used the word "big projects", should be supposed to be popular by now or successful on their run.

Still waiting for those sample big projects that did this copied whitepaper scheme.
