2-0, who would thought that?

The Kings are really upping their defense and chemistry in this game. They didn't panic even when the Warriors made a comeback courtesy of Klay Thompson's two 3-point shots. The loss of Draymond Green was a big factor as he got emotional and kicked Sabonis in the stomach, causing his ejection from the game. I hope this doesn't happen again, as they need to win game 3. If they still lose, I would say the Warriors' dynasty will be over this playoffs.

It was a great win for the Kings, and they deserved it. Everyone played well.
1442  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: April 18, 2023, 03:30:50 AM
Well, in that part you have a complete reason, I saw that fight with the full intention that Pacquiao could give one of those explosive Demonstrations to which we were Accustomed, but I don't know what happened to the Filipino, maybe at that moment it was not thinking more in politics than in anything else, that fight was really a shame, I'm sure that if Pacquiao had Trained a little harder he would have won the fight easily, there are times when athletes trust only their talent and don't train or not they work to improve and be more efficient, and things like that happen.


He mentioned that he was having problems with his foot after the fight, which affected his movement. Pacquiao is known for his quickness, but he wasn't as quick when he fought Ugas, so it's clear that he was telling the truth. However, upsets can happen in boxing, so we can't discount the possibility that Donaire could lose for any number of reasons.

Yes, he retired after that loss. He probably had a lot on his plate, as he was also running for President at that time.

Concentration is a big problem for boxers, and it may have been a factor in his loss. Anyway, his journey in boxing is over, so let's now focus on Donaire and see if he still has anything left in the tank.

Although Donaire may be old, he is still worth watching as long as he keeps winning.

OP, if you are about to risk your $40,000 and only invest in one coin, you'd better be smart and put it in the most secure coin in the market - Bitcoin.
But I tell you that and just like what the others are saying - you better spread that amount. At least 5 different coins are safe enough.
BTC, ETH, Matic, ADA, and LINK - they are not gems but we are looking for an investment that can really be trusted in the long term. But of course, put huge chunks on Bitcoin and ETH in order to have a good portfolio.
1444  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Technical analysis a must know in crypto trading? on: April 17, 2023, 11:17:56 AM
Well, if we want to succeed and reach our goal in trading, then we have to learn many crypto trading tools and so we should have to learn TA.
It has to note that TA is one of the vital tools in trading. We don't have to do it instantly but we can learn this somehow gradually as we are in actual trading. We don't have to be perfect on TA as it was also impossible but at least having this stuff will help us a lot as to we have an idea of what we gonna do next - when to buy and when to sell.
- it is necessary
 - it is difficult to predict the market without TA

While we are in trading, then it is a must also to learn Technical analysis or else, don't blame the market for why we lose but instead, blame ourselves for why we underestimate the market.

Yes, there is no perfect TA, however, we do this as it was needed in trading and we come to this idea as it has a huge impact on making our decision.
1445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We are about to enter altcoin season, what do you think? on: April 16, 2023, 09:55:51 PM
What is your thoughts?
As we about to enter the altcoin season, I think we should be careful of the altcoins we still choose to invest in and the number of altcoins we invest in. Choose a few altcoins that you have researched to have good potentials and invest small amounts in them. Do not make the mistake of investing in too many altcoins, as it increases your chances to gain more, it also increases your chances to loose.
When the bull season is coming, people are buying more altcoins which is why we could see that prices went high due to increase demand. It will continue until the bull season and so developers trying to catch this event and launch their useless projects. Now, if we are too careless in choosing altcoins, you will be right and the chances of losing are high.
Research is really a weapon to avoid this thing happen to us and most of all, we don't have to rush in making a decision unless we are investing old coins.
1446  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will the altcoin holders hang on until the bull run comes ? on: April 14, 2023, 01:22:12 PM
When it comes to altcoins, it's really hard to keep holding on especially when you see the price is currently rising at its current ATH and the other cryptocurrencies are not moving their price. Of course, you won't gonna wait for a bull run when you witnessed those sceneries because you won't know whether the price will still be like that or it might be not the case anymore because it's already over for that coin and the reason for that is, the hype has already subsided and the price right after that is going to decrease little by little each day.
I hate to say this but as per market observation, many people can't wait for the ATH but rather make early decision to sell when seeing the price is growing. And I would say that people had already change after missing the last 2016-2017 bullish market for not selling their coins at high price. But unfortunately, the outcomes is not good and a reason why we can't see that price keep on high as it ended just days as these investors selling of their coins to make sure that they will never miss the opportunity again.
1447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: we don't have proper education on bitcoin. on: April 14, 2023, 01:02:46 PM
I think the best solution to solving what you don't have concrete knowledge about is to study about it. Go through practical examples of those of them involved in it, read the Bitcoin White paper.
A lot of people from the third world countries that are into bitcoin and crypto didn't just stay idle about it, they did their research and investment time and energy into it, before they started making progress.
Perhaps, knowledge is an investment too. If we wanted to know more about Bitcoin, we have to find ways, we don't need to be spooned feed, instead have to spend time on the internet because there are a lot of learning resources now that talk about crypto space, they are just waiting for us.
Because you are living in a third-world country as long as you have the passion and are eager to learn about crypto investment, there is always room for it. It is not the hindrance anyway but what makes us for not doing is because we wanted shortcuts and sadly, it only leads us to nowhere. 
1448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: April 14, 2023, 11:49:38 AM
i play slots hoping to win 'big win' or 'jackpot' but many times it don't hits and my balance get drained after betting many times in one slot machine. i play more bets hoping it already took my so much balance it will definitely going to hit this times, but it never happens, and my balance becomes "0".

It was difficult to win the jackpot prize in the slot, honestly. If you believe in luck, I think you need it before getting the prize.
But I would say that don't chase winning in gambling, especially in pure-luck games because the more you think about it, the more you will suffer losses. It was a result of being desperate, doubling our bets thinking that we can recover our losses but in the end, we just notice that we are only multiplying our losses.
1449  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Technical analysis a must know in crypto trading? on: April 14, 2023, 10:10:25 AM
Was really curious to understand if technical analysis is vital or just a means to reduce risk. Thanks in advance
Technical Analysis is vital in trading and a must to know prior to starting trading. Might it find hard and not work great at first but you will know later how important it was when fully engage in the market volatility. But yes, even you know TA, don't make yourself very confident that you are totally safe and not incur losses because whether you like it or not, this will happen to any of us. But if we talk about how useful is this in trading, this is one tool for our success. 
1450  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will ETH has the capacity to pass BTC? on: April 14, 2023, 09:35:49 AM
Not sure if this going to happen but we are all free to decide as it is our money to risk, though I will maintain my Holding majority for bitcoin and will hold small part for altcoin like ethereum.
ETH is working and doing great today crossing 2k again , but to surpass bitcoin is a Bit over expectation in terms of pumping percentage .
but lets see, since we as crypto holder can benefits no matter whom to move high first.

And in your case, you already decide that Bitcoin is your priority, not ETH. Meaning, you never let ETH surpass BTC and it is because you know that BTC has the capacity to rule over the market while ETH remains the #2 no matter what.
Because even Ethereum will pump 100%, we can't consider this as an indication that Bitcoin had losing capacity as it sometimes happens in the market. What we need is consistency and I know it never happens, it drops back and possibly BTC will rise at that time. They can be in opposite directions.

Quote
Among the other coaches who received votes, sources said: Milwaukee's Mike Budenholzer, Oklahoma City's Mark Daigneault, Boston's Joe Mazzulla and New York's Tom Thibodeau. Each coach votes for one winner and can't vote for himself.
But I do see some media revealing their votes and most of it are for Coach Brown. He will win this one, without a doubt. He made the Kings better, 2006 was their last playoff appearance and now they made it again. A sensational coaching job, thanks to Mike Brown, even I was dragged by the Kings hype.


That was based on how the Kings had performed, coming from a team that has been struggling, and this season they finished number 3 in the West. It's a huge achievement for Coach Mike Brown, who's no stranger to successful coaching, but he deserves the reward. Now, in the playoffs, I think it will be a bigger challenge for him and the team. Even if they exit, they've already had a commendable season and will come back stronger next season.

Yep, based on how he leads the performance of the entire team, with him as the orchestrator of the plays he really did well mentoring the players, I like how they execute all those plays and how the chemistries build up.

It's the good relationship between players and the coaching people that really gives them the recognition
now, finishing 3rd and securing the first-round playoff position, a good achievement for coach Brown.

Unfortunately, they might exit early in the playoffs as they're up against the Warriors, a proven championship team. If they manage to beat the Warriors, then they'll earn a lot of respect from the fans. Therefore, hopefully they'll pull off a big surprise and upset the defending champions.
1452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can owning 1 Bitcoin make you rich in 2023? on: April 14, 2023, 03:26:16 AM
...

With the common calculation, in today's price single bitcoin could make a person rich. In my country one can have a small house and invest a small part with which he can get a small income. Wirh the remaining he can start a small business and lead his life fulfilling the needs of the family of four.
Feeding the family as a breadwinner is the core duty of every mature minds and fitting in that shoe won't be an easy task to handle. Bitcoin is ranked first when it comes to crypto related top projects. Been in possession of 1 Bitcoin would change your story, you will drive a nice flashy car, own a house and also anticipate in a business inother to keep the money flowing in. But owning 1 bitcoin during the bear seems like a loss because there will be limited number of things to do with it. Unlike the bull period where you can purchase whatever things you want in a store.
1BTC is equal to 1BTC no matter what condition the market is. Because as long as you are not selling it when it dumps, you will never incur losses.
So, if you have 1BTC in your wallet, you already consider yourself rich compared to those who are holding just only 0.1BTC. But it doesn't mean we have to keep 1BTC forever as it only gives us profit if we sell them.
Buy, hold, and sell - this is how the crypto space works. Invest more, so we can earn more, like doing in real estate as rich people keep buying low and selling them high.

I'd say that people have an interest in trading because of what they see on the internet as some traders encourage people to trade. Yes, many have tried and failed, they'll think that it works too easily.
In fact, I was trying this before together with one of my friends, and guess what, I fail while my friend become successful. I was wondering why even if I ask him what he did and follow what he said, I'm still losing. Now I realize that even though these influencers will show us what they do, it won't give us assurance that we become successful and be like them, and this is because we have different decisions in every situation.
1454  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you still advised more buy and store? on: April 13, 2023, 09:19:11 PM
I was thinking new kind of plan to buy bitcoin every month from my salary immediately my company paids me but I still have other responsibilities to carry with family so am skeptical about it especially now that the price has no direction. If can afford storing every month in a long run I may realizes half of bitcoin unit and that's a big achievement to buy but to you is funny because you have enough of it. So advise me on what to do! Should I hold on because of the instabilities in price? Or I should buy and store? Over to you
The price of Bitcoin is quite expensive now but if you think this could give you a better life in the future, still you need to find a way and continue investing in it. But of course, you still need to consider your finances if you were still able to provide for the needs of your family.
You have to put in mind that investing in Bitcoin is a good opportunity. I understand the situation that the price of Bitcoin will sometimes dump and pump, but if you look at its history, you can find out that it was growing rather than decreasing which means that if you are still buying now, profit will come when you hold until it went bullish and sell them.

...
I don't believe that there is any sudden reduction in Bitcoin price from now till the end of this year or even next year, so please do yourself a good to ingrain in Bitcoin if you haven't.
Well, only a few people have found Bitcoin's potential to grow because some of them just spend it many years ago without minding if it will reach in today's price. And you are one of those people and I'm really happy with you mate.
Big rewards will come to people who trust Bitcoin and are willing to hold it despite the volatile situation of the market. Because I would tell you that holding for that long ignoring the huge drop was really an extraordinary faith and only a few investors can do that while the majority had already been in panic and selling their BTC.
1456  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: High gas fee for sending token is still a problem on: April 13, 2023, 11:51:03 AM
Ethereum gas fee will always be a big problem, it's also the reason so few project nowadays are actually building something in ethereum blockchain instead many just ditch this blockchain and using some other alternative like matic, moreover, the presence of many layer 2 like arbitrum, and optimism seem didn't really help that much, I'd say if ethereum wanted to get that share of new project capitalization to their coin, they should really take care of their gas, but here's the thing, even though the gwei required seem relatively small for many, consideirng the value of ethereum that's quite high compared with its initial appearanace, they gonna be having hard time solving this problem, their only option is through layer 2. but even then the bridging cost of layer 2 also quite tremendous but at least speaking from my experience, you could save hundred dollars just from swapping, even many layer 2 platform are using this advantage for marketing purpose.
It is a big problem that is why I don't think about it, instead, I look for a solution to save fees. But unfortunately, I didn't find any solution other than paying high fees just to move ERC20 tokens from my wallet to the exchanges, otherwise, they only stuck in my wallet forever. Yet, there is a way to cut some costs and that is to wait until the fees drop a little bit and take that opportunity. Yes, it was very small but at least, we save some cents.
Honestly, most of us are complaining but I think that we don't have any option other than accept the reality as ETH gas fee is difficult to lowered down when the network congestion remain high.
1457  Economy / Gambling / Re: justbit.io asking me for KYC although their site explicitly states no KYC on: April 13, 2023, 11:00:52 AM
Hi there


I have been playing some time now on justbit.io. Won some money, and my account stands approx 8 mbtc. I asked to withdraw 5 mbtc and today they asked me for KYC procedure (ID and other stuff). By their site states explicitly that they do not ask for KYC if crypto was used to deposit. This sounds me like scam. They will not pay me

Have you read the full TOS? If not, then maybe you should review it. Sometimes, sites' marketing strategies are deceiving just to attract gamblers, but it's already listed on their TOS. So, it's wise to review all that stuff so you know when to complain.

8 mbtc could be a lot of money, if you can comply with the KYC, then maybe just comply to withdraw the funds. Now, if they still don't release your funds after you complied, then we can conclude that the site is scam.
1458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 13, 2023, 10:26:16 AM

Tomorrow we have Bulls vs Raptors and Thunder vs Pelicans. Will we see an upset again?

Yes, we did see an upset as the Bulls had a strong comeback in the second half to beat the Raptors. The chants of the crowd did not help the Raptors to win, as the Bulls were so focused on winning the game. Everyone on the Bulls played well, and their starters did a great job. I believe Pat Beverly was a big addition to the team, as his defense and hustle were very evident.

Final score 109-105

LaVine - 39 points
DeRozan - 23 points

An effort that brings them the win, I was in the impression that the home team will not let the fans down and they will protect the home-court advantage, but Bulls is very determined to win.

Congrats to all who bet for the Bulls as they completed upsetting the home team they will be playing against
the Heat and will try to continue their journey to keep the final spot for the next round.

Not only the Bulls, but the OKC as well, as they also upset the Pelicans. The crowd for the Raptors is huge, so it was surely a big disappointment for the fans. However, they will understand that it's a game where the outcome could be a win or loss. Better luck next time, as they say. The Raptors need to ensure they don't end up in the same position again, and finish within the top 6 in the rankings.

His boss (Oscar) knows well how it is to be only taller but beaten by a faster Manny Pacquaio.


Hilarious! Oscar surely knows that he would not forget a fighter that made him retire from boxing. He was even the big favorite in that fight, so what happened was an upset. He has to make sure to apply that lesson to his boxers, so that it will not happen again, hopefully.

I like that script Kabayan, lucky to those who really applying that mindset as they really enjoying the betting side of this series, we can't remove that mentality with fans and bettors as they understand how the business works and how profitable it can be if the series will proceed and make more games in extending the series.

Congrats and I see that you are going to make good money in it, as you really have that nerve in taking the risk when placing your bet.

The game seemed to be very predictable, as it looks like they want to extend this series to at least six games. Brownlee not scoring well is questionable, so it's hard to rely on our emotions. We should play smart and, by doing so, it seems like Ginebra should win the next game.

Bet against the Public, it will work in PBA like a charm.
I didn’t expect to win TNT like this, wondering as well why it turns out to be a low scoring game and Brownlee didn’t score that much, well maybe TNT did a great job on their defensive strategy and it works for them. Going into game 3, i still think TNT will take it and from their, Ginebra will start to have a good run until they take the championship. This is a good for the fans and for the bettor, let’s enjoy it.
At this point, we can only guess what will happen. It's not about how good the team is, as the organization might do everything to bring this series to the Philippine Arena. It can become boring, actually, since it looks like we already know what's going to happen. However, for bettors, this should be an opportunity.
