1501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 26, 2021, 12:46:21 PM
Many of us are impressed with the Bulls' performance this season. Regarding DeRozan and LaVine, both have great stats. However, I agree with Yogee that they won't have a chance to compete with Curry and Durant for the MVP title of the regular season. Curry looks unstoppable, and I think he will be MVP this season imho.

I think it's early to conclude this discussion, especially we are not yet passing the NBA All-star week 2022. anything can happen next year but if Klay Thompson will further boost Curry's performance then you can say try again next time to the other candidate because they won't have a chance at all. Stephen Curry has once again become the all-time favorite this year as you can see there are lots of fans on the court when they play just to see him shoot those stunning threes.

Judging on how Curry has been performing early this season, everyone can say that he's the top MVP candidate obviously.
He's unarguably the best shooter of all time, that alone can be enough to tell he's an MVP caliber player.
Though there were a bunch of good players in the NBA today especially the young guns, but as you said Curry has been great once again.
He had an early momentum most probably he will finish the way he started the season.

What Curry made more successful this season is because he is healthy, not only that, he also gets the support from his teammates, they are stepping up and they make the Warriors once again a tough team to beat, it's like the old Warriors who easily dominate their opponent, and take not, this team is still without Thompson, so expect a better team with Thompson but Curry would still lead the team as usual.

I'm not sure who would win here but I think I will go for Ancajas to win.

A Filipino fighter always has the blood of a real warrior, so whoever is promoting Ancajas, I still think he will get this win and I consider this a big fight for him since the record Ioka is good, in fact, I only see a little advantage of Ancajas here so he needs to train hard and be careful when in the ring.
1503  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do you manage Bitcoin price now on: November 25, 2021, 10:10:05 PM
I think the price will be like that for temporary as I do not see the price still up and down many times and confuse some traders to determine where the bitcoin price will go. This situation is good enough to buy low and sell high and we do not have to wait for a long time to sell bitcoin and make a profit. It is better to make a small profit and have a chance to repeat the process because that means our profit will be bigger too. We are in the last quarter of 2021 so hopefully, the bitcoin price can surprise us at the end of this year.
Traders must be very happy or very upset right now. They are either buying low and selling high and making quick profits during this period, or they could be also buying and then it could be going down even more which means they either have to hold it more than they would like to or they could be simply just doing a stop loss to get out quickly with a loss. This is not a period for long term investors, for us it is always the same and there is nothing wrong with anything, but at the same time we would like to consider this as a period we ignore since we can't do much and just wait for it to get better and buy as much as we can since we only care about long term.
That's the best and safest thing to do right now, buy the coins with their low price and still go for long term holding. This is a time wherein most of the investors and traders should take a short break while patiently waiting for the market to be normal again. Because if we force to make ourselves still profitable this time, i'm afraid this will only result into unexpected losses than our aimed profits. But i know for bitcoin, even if we make an entry at this point, we will not be making big losses because bitcoin will always find ways to move upward even if most of the altcoins will continue dumping. That's what makes bitcoin more unique from others.

This is a crypto business. There may always be an uncertain condition under which you have to continue your trading. There may be fewer businesses except for this one Where there are so many whales, so many ups and downs, so much chance to grow business, also many risks of losses. This is a business of courageous,brave, and Straight men.
The person who knows to play with risks. But at the same time , This is a favorite business of all ages. People love to do this business. There is something in this business that has made it attractive for all.
Trading is definitely full of risks as it has a lot uncertainties from the beginning until the last part of your trading. But this should not be a barrier not to make profits in trading because as long as you know how to manage the risk, your trading will always be successful. There may be times for losses, but trading does not fail us to make profits once we are at good in it. That's how trading works despite of its uncertainties and due to it's market volatility. And despite of the fact that trading is like a roller coaster, it even makes more people to stay than to find another which will make them profitable.
1505  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My plans for the next bear market on: November 25, 2021, 08:44:50 AM
I accept the fact that there would always be a bear after a bull run, but we don't know when the bear will commence. It would be out of place to think that the bear would start by next year because we had a bull run this year. We need to be mindful of the fact that the cryptocurrency industry is not always going in line with precedence. The bull run we had this year is the longest we've had so far, it's possible it continues till next year and beyond. Don't make the mistake of using the previous bull run of 2017 to make a decision in 2021. So many things have changed in the industry from then till now.
The fact that we have to prepare the incoming bear market as to when will it hit the market, so we have to take advantage now whatever opportunities that the market can offer so we can gain maximum profits whenever bullish season comes. And these profits will be a good preparation to buy  cheap but potential coins when bearish season starts.

However, although my plans are focused on buying and filling my bags with potential coins, i also have to secure my own funds for my personal needs because for sure when bear season is here, there would be less opportunities to create profits.
1506  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How reasonable is it to invest in Bitcoin in the current situation? on: November 25, 2021, 05:28:57 AM
At the end of the year, we do not see much progress in the market.  How reasonable do you think investing in Bitcoin now in this situation?

there is a progress and that progress is huge  . that is the reason why one should invest in bitcoin because every new year bitcoin shows an impressive growth  .

The market is still in a correction mode. Meanwhile, the market has been in the same position for a few days.
it might be correcting now because it is been increasing consistenly last time so that is not a big deal and besides you can use this as an advantage to invest more because the year is ending again and after this , we are going to see a new heights again .
The on going correction does not bring all negativity because it can be a good opportunity to start investing at a lower price and bitcoin is definitely a great example of it. So if you believe that bitcoin has high potentials to be more valuable in the future, then now is the right time to take the risk even if we say that it’s price is not really at its bearish. And in fact, this correction will create more support level for bitcoin and all those major altcoins to end up with their new ATH at a higher value.
1507  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks will die crypto will take over in 5-10 years on: November 24, 2021, 09:11:34 PM
people can be influenced by such opinion but in fact we can not be separated from the bank, maybe in a few years the whole bank will adapt to a new system that can make it survive
crypto has made a revolution even though there are some who see it as a threat and try to bring it down
Yeah, some people do say this, but I don’t think this is true. Of course, I do know that there are lots of people who wish that banks will end up not existing Someday and cryptocurrency will take over. But, that is not even going to happen at all the way I am seeing it. We can already see the government and the central banks creating their own digital currencies.

So tell me, how exactly you think that in the future that banks will no longer exist and cryptocurrencies will then replace banks? If cryptocurrencies are replacing banks, then how is it going to work, does that mean that there will be nothing like banks and everyone will manage their funds by themselves or are we still going to rely on exchanges? We learn and exchanges is the same as banks, there’s one thing you should know. And the government controls most of these exchanges especially the ones that are centralized.
Is it really necessary that banks should be replaced by crypto? For me, if they can both co exist, then why not?

I really believe that banks is not going to die or be extinct just because of crypto. And I know its not really the main goal of crypto to replace, but rather to serve as a good alternative. Maybe in the near future, we can see banks start to integrate crypto into their transactions. I know its the best way so they can still extend their services to the people without having them extinct.
1508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 24, 2021, 01:37:37 PM
As the Lakers struggle will continue, we can't prevent people from saying their dismay because they have a high expectation on the LA Lakers. I mean, who would not expect a lot, they build a super team with popular names in the NBA, but look what they are showing, they can even hardly beat lower rank teams.

Anyway, Lebron might be back against the Pacers after one game of the suspension, so they have a good chance of winning now since they really need to start winning again. No excuses because they are complete now.
1509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: November 24, 2021, 01:12:22 PM
Paul's advantage is only his age, aside from that, I don't see anything that he can use to beat Tyson. The majority has spoken, and we can see in the betting odds of this fight that Tyson is the favorite, so most likely he will win as he has a high chance of winning.
Even though tyson is now 55 years old, but we can't underestimate his skills and experience so far, i think tyson will beat paul logan with a knockout and make logan realize that boxing is not just entertainment like they always do (logan and jake paul) So far, for a true boxer, boxing is a pride and I personally really want to see Tyson destroy Paul Logan arrogance in that fight later.


Mike Tyson is at risk of getting knocked out also, Logan Paul although underestimated in this fight also has the power, still young and eager to earn his first win in an exhibition fight. As Tyson is training, Logan Paul is also doing the same, so it's hard to conclude now who will win, let's just want the actual fight but betting is a must.
1510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your market prediction for the year end - 2021 on: November 24, 2021, 09:13:49 AM
The market is currently bullish because in addition to Bitcoin, alt has also increased, although sometimes it goes down again but is still stable. so more precisely now the market is experiencing a correction, so a good anticipation is to find out some tokens that are considered the cheapest but have good prospects in the future.
Despite the fact that we are still in a correction phase, bitcoin price remains to be bullish today and hopefully until the end of the year. Although the market is very unstable these days, but a long as bitcoin never falls down below $50k, I believe its still bullish. So my market prediction for this year 2021 is more on bullish and its even getting more bullish in fact due to the strong price support we can gain from this correction phase.
1511  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Basic trading strategy for newbie to make a profit on: November 24, 2021, 02:50:43 AM
there are many telegram groups that offer that and I've been following them too. What I get as long as I follow various telegram groups is that sometimes I get profits and losses, but more often I lose. maybe because I can't choose a good telegram group to join. but the more I come here, the more I realize that in addition to learning theory about trading, experience also really helps us to be better at trading.
There's no better teacher than learning from all your experiences. Relying on some telegram channels or signal groups are not guarantees that you are going to make profits already. Its always your knowledge and experience that will really count the most. But as a beginner in trading, don't expect that you will make quick profits but rather expect more losses than your gains because that's the reality if you trade as a newbie. However, as you go on learning more in trading, then you will start to maximize your gains and avoid more losses as much as you can.
1512  Economy / Economics / Re: People tend not to move on: November 23, 2021, 09:44:58 AM
....
There is no Opportunity in those who want only to take a bite in the food on their plate and don't wanna explore in some place where
offering best foods.


Often the reason is not that they want to grab the best bite not doing anything, but that they don't even think about the best bite. In my country for decades, people have been taught not to stick their heads out and be content with what they have, often the smallest. If you suddenly wanted more, then you concedered to be not happy with life and not having respect for others, because you should not be different in anything. Therefore, a huge number of people simply do not think that it is possible to somehow change the conditions of their life, and many of those who do think are afraid to bring it to life.
People tend not to move because they are fearful and are afraid of taking risk. So they continue living their life on what they are used to have and not coming out from their comfort zone. And i think having this kind of attitude will no longer lead to a progressive life.

However, their attitude towards their monetary terms may just only be the same. They are afraid to take risk into some new investments because they feel like they will only lose, so they prefer to keep their money without any profits being yield. People like this will never really reach huge achievements in life as they tend to be more satisfied on the things they only see around.
1513  Economy / Speculation / Re: will we witness year end bullrun or bull trap? on: November 23, 2021, 08:47:30 AM
Well, I just put it aside thinking if this is a trap or really a Bullrun in form. Because of what I see and know about the market, volatility makes things and prices unpredictable. But I see this uptrend motion is not manipulated, I'd say this is not because of the whales, this is because of the increasing market demand since early this year. This 2021 gives us some idea that cryptocurrency will have a fortune. Seeing the market still healthy and remains unstoppable despite the FUDs and banning in some countries will tell us that there is no way to stop this technology.
I do agree with you in the fact that volatility makes it a bit unpredictable, and that is not always a bad thing, sometimes I am quite happy with the fact that we can't really predict what the market will do. There is really nothing that I would rather have in crypto aside from volatility, imagine if we had stability in crypto and how boring it would be.

The fact that we have some huge hypes time to time and everyone gets involved with crypto is actually what makes crypto so pumped at times, and that's caused by volatility. Sure during periods like this when the price falls then I agree that it doesn't make sense for people to join that easily, but when it is skyrocketing then you suddenly see more and more people coming in. This is why volatility is such a great thing in crypto and that unpredictable situation makes it so much more valuable.
With high volatility of bitcoin, there might be chances for bull run or bull trap at the end of this year. But since the market is still bullish even if there is a current price correction that is happening, i might say that we will end this year having a bull run. Although bitcoin and altcoins are experiencing slight drop down of prices, but i know they will always bound to recover again once the correction is over. For now, maybe let's just enjoy what the price correction has brought to the market and buy potential coins that are still affordable for now.
1514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: No more long term bear market on: November 22, 2021, 10:10:52 PM
It is very difficult to predict the future of crypto market. However, I believe that the adoption of bull market this time is much stronger than the previous one. Yet no one can say for sure that the bear market will not come. In addition, the governments of many big countries want to rein in bitcoin, which is an obstacle to its growth.
No matter how bullish we are, it will not be an excuse that we will not experience bear season anymore. For sure, it will still happen maybe next year but we can't be certain if it will last only for short term or long term duration. Although the year today is very much different and i can say that its more developed today due to large institutional investors, but it will not guarantee that we will no longer experience a long term bear season. There are still big whales that can manipulate the market, and any negative news that will hit the market, it will also make the market more bearish. So we can only be definite with our prediction once we get there.
1515  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is not meant 4everybody on: November 22, 2021, 12:24:49 PM
Trading is not for everyone because not everyone can have the determination it requires. It’s a long-term journey. You lose and win. However, that consistency takes time, patience, and a high risk appetite.
If you think you have all the guts to make a good trader, the motivation and determination to succeed, and of course the patience that is highly needed, then i think trading is for you. But it will take time to develop all of these, there would be a lot of losses and gains to achieved before you can say that you can be a good trader.

However, this is also true that trading is not for everyone here. Many tries to do trading and even prepared much, but they still lose and end up quitting in trading. Sometimes, luck may also matter into trading, but most of the time its more on building skills and strategies, and having the right attitude towards trading.
1516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin City Rising in El Salvador on: November 22, 2021, 08:45:38 AM
All eyes on Salvador right now. Things have escalated rather quickly in the country under the leadership of Nayib Bukele. Just a few years ago it was only just a small community who adopted Bitcoin and then it quickly went national with the declaration of Bitcoin as a legal tender. From then on, there were many things that happened. There was the Bitcoin mining development using volcanic energy, the purchasing of Bitcoin, and now the development of a Bitcoin City.

The success or failure of this big experiment will affect the decision of other countries.
This is a must see for all other countries as this will determine how bitcoin can create an impact into a small country that is now starting to be in progress and definitely, creates its own bitcoin city that will give excitements for all those bitcoin enthusiasts, and even for those who loves to criticized bitcoin negatively.

For El Salvador, this must be a big development for their country to come up bitcoin city. But for those who still sees bitcoin in a negative way, this must be a threat because the success or failure of this project will leave an impact to bitcoin, and serve as a mirror for those other countries who are starting to adopt bitcoin too.
1517  Economy / Economics / Re: Just because prices are high, doesn't mean that is a good investment. on: November 21, 2021, 10:57:54 PM
It is recommended not to buy on highs as after a rapid growth, it must be a correction, so you may lose. It is better to buy only on dips. Personally I follow such a strategy of buying on drawdowns and then hold. If you buy on highs, you are greedy, so you will not earn. You should sometimes let the bull run go and wait for the correction accumulating stable coins so as to buy when it will be the high time.
When we want to buy we need to look at the conditions and analyze them so that the decisions we make can be right,
and indeed the right time to buy is certainly when the price is down,
the most important thing is to continue to follow the movement and development of the price
It's always a good buying moment when the price is certainly low, but that does not mean that we should buy all those coins who have low prices. Others might don't have the potentials to grow more, so we'll still end up losing. Just like never be deceived with all those coins who have high prices because not really all of them are good investments, some of them are just hyped, and when the hype is done, their value will definitely fall again. Although having a high price means there is a high demand on it, but still always DYOR so we will not end up regretting because we do invest in those wrong coins.
1518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: correction or start of a bear market? on: November 21, 2021, 07:43:48 PM
Obviously, it's just a correction as bitcoin is slowly recovering now, it dumped at $55k and now it's already trading at $59k, when it continues to $60k, then it's a good sign that it will stay at that level and will try to break again the walls for a new ATH.

The bear market has not come yet, sometimes we are just shocked or worried when we see a huge dump, but that's actually a normal thing since high volatility is still here.
Right. We are still in a correction phase, and anything could happen making bitcoin even dumps lower than $50k but after that, bitcoin will be seen recovering again. But for altcoins who have less potentials to survive, maybe they will no longer recover again. But the good thing about having a correction, it will create a strong support for bitcoin and other major altcoins to reach new ATH right after the correction is over. So we'll just wait for that so we can see new all time highs before 2021 ends.

I don't actually believe in surveys as it could be biased sometimes, and always we need to know the reputation of those who made a survey.

The world's total population in the world is 7.9 billion, so 11 000 participants are not even 1% of the entire population.

However, it's still good to know that many people are interested and I believe the adoption will continue to grow as awareness are already spread globally.
1520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 19, 2021, 08:22:38 PM
What do you think? Will he get another MVP award this season?
This is one of the best season of Curry and his performance is superb, not only that, the impact to the team is always good as the Warriors are currently sitting at the top now, so no doubt that Curry could win another MVP award as long as he keeps himself healthy this season.
It's now Curry - 1st, Durant - 2nd, Giannis - 3rd, Jokic - 4th, Doncic - 5th.
A big change from what was expected before the season starts where Luka Doncic was on the top. But I am still waiting for the Luka Magic. He is still there and may need to just step up his game a little bit when he comes back from his ankle injury. Average of triple-double with his points at 20-30 per game. Although, if he really wants to win the Season MVP race, he will need more than that. Because Curry is trying to lengthen the gap between them with his monster games.

Curry is gaining the crowd and if he continues to win it, there's no chance for Luka to win the season MVP.

Look how great Curry playing with his teammates, it's not surprising if he will win this one again, though it's too early for that to conclude

as everyone from the top 10 can still rally and snatch the title, the season is still far and knowing how great all those stars; they are really

more than capable, it's just a matter that only one can win the title.

The warriors are playing a good season, thanks to Curry's MVP performance in every game. No doubt he will win the MVP this season because not only his stats has improved but the impact of his stats on the team is very evident, making them the number 1 team now. Although it's too early I already predicted he will win as long as he is healthy because he is very consistent, dropping 30 points ore more from him looks effortless.
