1561  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum will get more demand on: August 22, 2022, 10:08:34 PM
The latest rumour going around about the Ethereum merge is a dump after, you are wrong if you are one of them, Ethereum going proof of stake and fixing the high gas fee have automatically turn this project into a GOLD, every whales will want to stake and enjoy the rewards, even if a dump happens after the so called fork it won't last.
People are hoping for the fees to be lower but guess what, they are somewhat hopeless as for many attempts, it never happens. Maybe some people are a little bit excited and buying more ETH but I wasn't confident enough that this would help to cut a huge share of the fees as miners may not feel good about this idea as these fees are their only hope for them to survive.

Well, on the other side, ETH will still keep its higher demand without this event.
1562  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 22, 2022, 12:10:44 PM
but in boxing not everything is numbers and statistics, it's the real part, real life, and really even though both boxers have failed along their paths, it will be interesting to see this fight.
Thats true. This will be a great fight that we've been waiting for years.
Thanks to Canelo losing to Bivol, because if that didn't happen, we might not see this fight.

Possible, but I think when Canelo re-sign with Matchroom and DAZN, he knows that sooner or later this fight is going to happen regardless of the result of of his fight wit Bivol.

But the thing is, when Canelo losses that fight, it add an extra motivation for him to fight GGG because he knows that he can get back in track as the cash cow and p4p #1 with a victory here.

So we will see after this fight if Canelo will extend his contract again with Eddie Hearn and the DAZN.

A wise decision by Canelo, and that really was a blessing for us because we have been anticipating this fight and now it's coming into reality. Well, we all know that although Canelo won in their last fight, it's still not guaranteed that he will win here like what bookies are thinking, I like to believe that bookies are overvaluing Canelo in this fight.

About motivation? I'm pretty sure both fighters are motivated.

Udonis Haslem signs a one-year contract with the Miami Heat and that will be his last season for the team. Despite low average playing time and only playing a few games within the last six seasons, the Miami Heat reportedly convinced him as they still need his locker room presence.

What's on my mind is that they want Haslem to be part of those players who stayed in the franchise for 20+ seasons. Dirk Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant are the only players in history to do that. This upcoming season, Haslem marked his 20th season on the Miami Heat.

It makes sense to believe for me that's the reason aside from appreciation by the Miami Heat.
Well, his morale support to the team and its players will still play by a big factor and that's what I can see on this signed contract for him.

Damn, time goes so fast and I've remembered him that I used to watched him with the old roster of Miami. We're that old right now as Haslem also became older.

Good luck to his stay for this probable last contract with Heat.


That's not a problem for the Heat because they are not paying him too much. if his presence is needed, then be it, because the team just don't need physical toughness but mental toughness as well, and for sure with his experience, he can help the team to improve on that part. Have you still remember when Haslem and Butler had some issue, I think Haslem thought Butler was too soft to be a leader that time.
1564  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are candlestick patterns overrated? on: August 19, 2022, 12:53:09 PM
Ok so when i started with trading I try to learn so much about candlestick patterns but when i started looking at other traders on YouTube and even generally online I hardly see anyone even consider them while trading yeah they might look at color of candle but that's all. Specially those advance candlestick patterns like rising soldiers and all that, I don't even remember anyone even mention them once while trading or in any tutorial. So my question is for trading veterans here do they use it or is it really overrated thing which serve no purpose in real time trading?
The candlestick pattern is commonly used as the basis for trading analysis. It is somewhat telling us what is already happening in the market and that is only its purpose. But if we think that this could help us to predict what will happens next, yes it was, however, this couldn't give assurance that our analysis will be right. We still are aware of the situation that the candlestick represents the changes that happen in the past, not the future.
1565  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Know the right crypto project to invest in on: August 19, 2022, 12:00:31 PM
Considering rate at which hundreds of cryptocurrencies are flooding the blockhain space it seems digital currency is taking over the fiat. But the question now is how does one get to know the right crypto project to invest in?
If I were you, I consider the market rankings and active trade volume as the basis for choosing them, the higher rank and huge volume the better. But if you are talking about new projects, that seems worrying for we never know yet if that project is legit and has the potential or not. You can also dig some feedback from the project provided that it was reliable and trusted feedback because many are manipulated just for the sake of money and price manipulations.
1566  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mastering the market movement is what aid profits and not the price. on: August 18, 2022, 02:14:21 PM
Market movement is also the price movement, the market won't move if it doesn't have any assets on it, like stocks and cryptocurrency. The technical analysis depends on the chart prices, and the current trend, most of the newbies contradict the market trend that's why they always lose trades. Professional traders know what to do whatever the market situation is, that's why if you started trading, you must continue to grow even though you lost a lot of money already.
We can't change how the market works and in fact, even having these whales and manipulations, the market trend remains unpredictable. In this case, even if we want to make all things could have our favor but unfortunately, it never happens and we still lose. That is why the market is full of surprises and even more interesting. And we don't need to put everything in our hands, it is greediness.
Quote
Losing in trading is normal, you need a lot of courage and dedication to hone your skills to make profits.
No doubt, that is really happening in here.
1567  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Taking profits vs holding long term? on: August 18, 2022, 01:05:31 PM

My main position is 55% in profit and I have been debating if I should take some to then buy back lower when we experience our next crash.

Just wondering what everyone else does? Do you take profits along the way and if so at what point? Or do you just invest to hold long term?

I tend not to hold forever but my plan is to take every opportunity where I can make a profit. I can afford to sell them in a weekly time frame if the profit is good and take every market recession to reinvest. I see this strategy works for me during the bull season but this could be hard just like we have now. At this bear condition, holding seems to be an ideal move to take. Of course, selling can also be possible just to draw out some profit and make the same strategy to buy again.
1568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 18, 2022, 10:30:33 AM
Jerwin is seems a good boxer in Philippines Boxing rematch . Jerwin plying seance 2014 it means 8 years including this year. Although the game has not yet started this year.  But the game is going to start after a couple  months.i think  Jerwin can show a better performance in this year also.

It will be a challenging match for Jerwin Ancajas but also another opportunity for him to prove himself in the ring and establish a good name in the boxing industry. I've watched some of his previous matches and I must say that he has huge potential but we can't deny the fact that Martinez is also a tough boxer.
Jerwin Ancajas is a good name in the Philippine Boxing industry . And I see their potential of winning this time. but Fernando Martinez also a good boxer . Winning with them will also be a tough task . but here also looks like Jerwin Ancajas will win

He was a champion, got dethrone when Martinez beat him, so he is not trying to reclaim his belt, this rematch is a must win for him, otherwise, he cannot be a champion anymore in the same division and he has to move up in weight.

He can be a champion again if he will win this rematch, with the right strategy, I think he can win and maybe push a trilogy. On the last fight, he lose via UD, it's time for him to come back and win either UD too or via KO, that's more impressive. Actually, it's not an easy fight for Ancajas but he has to remember that he needs to win for him to become a champion again.
1569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 18, 2022, 10:06:07 AM
It could have been sanction by the boxing body, but if you watch closely, the national anthem or Russia wasn't played  (which is the practice to play the national anthem of both countries) and he is even barred from carrying a Russian flag.

Beterbiev then can be a good option for Canelo. Right now Beterbiev has Canadian citizenship. Lives in Canada. So there will be no problems with sanctions, licenses, visa and etc. Beterbiev has belts, ranked 2 in lightheavy and is a knockout master. That could be a good fight for fans, and perhaps for Canelo legacy.

About comfortable 168lbs and 175 lbs. I am far from professional sports, but does it really make such a big difference for pro athletes? We dont need to go far, Usyk vs AJ was an example that less heavy but more technician boxer looked better.

That would be another hype, however, I think Canelo will experience his 2nd losses on the higher division as certainly cannot bring his speed and power as evidenced by his fight against Bivol, or if he wants to avenge his loss, he can go for a rematch with Bivol after beating GGG, if that expectation will happen.

hello everyone, I'm new to this site, but I have a strange feeling that bitcoin will not grow more than $ 26,000 anymore, I want to know your opinion, and where is it better to invest your bitcoins now? I heard that the NFT market is going up very well now, which NFT is better to invest in? or is it better to leave bitcoin, everyone who will help, and I will earn on this, I will throw in $ 10
my telegram https://t.me/muv_neo
Well, you are still new and you never know what you are talking about.
$26,000 not anymore? You have questioned the capability of Bitcoin but you never see the LOW potential of NFT? Maybe it is a need for you to know that NFT hasn't that potential and is too far from Bitcoin.

Well, if you want to get scammed then invest in NFT, that was the best solution in knowing what they look like. And later on, you will realized that Bitcoin is more valuable that any other projects in the crypto market.
1571  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think this is can bring good drive to crypto market on: August 17, 2022, 11:23:05 PM
Pay Pal just added support for the following on its platform via mobile app

1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. Bitcoin Cash.
4. Litecoin

Do you think this can have any good impact on the market?

https://paypal.com/us/digital-wallet/manage-money/crypto
Indeed, as these known platforms like PayPal have certainly had a huge influence on the community, having their support will not just simply creates additional attractions but also people will think that cryptocurrencies are even moving their main course as a currency. I'd see people will become more interested in Bitcoin, as the more they will see it was backed up by known platforms, the more it builds up trust and confidence.
1572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How profitable Is investing in a crypto casino or sportbook? on: August 17, 2022, 11:03:15 AM
Both are profitable if you are the operator, however, if you are just investing, it would not give you much profit unless you are a major investor. About the question, both casino and sportsbook are a billion dollars industry, so it's a lucrative business for those who have good capital.
1573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 17, 2022, 10:15:54 AM
Speaking of trades, there seems to be a renewed interest on Donovan Mitchell from the Hornets and the Wizards.

It's going to be interesting to hear as well what will be the package that both teams are offering Utah in exchange of Mitchell.

Backcourt of Beal/Mitchell? or Ball/Mitchell? which make sense?

This was reported by:

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1559604416906272768
I'll go with Beal-Mitchell. Bradley Beal is more experienced than LaMelo Ball. However, Charlotte Hornets seem more eager to spend money than Washington Wizards. But we will see what will happen. I'll be glad for Mitchell to get traded than stay in a rebuilding team. New York Knicks is still interested in Mitchell and they also have very promising young players.    

Are there people here that play NBA Fantasy on either ESPN or Yahoo? If you need another hardcore participant then consider me. I prefer 16 teams though to make it more intense and interesting. Grin

Same here, if I would choose, I like Bradley Beal as he is more clutch compared to Mitchelle who is also a superstar. If a Jazz - Wizards trade would happen, I guess that's more fair as both teams will received a new superstar, and I believe that with Beal, Jazz will improve.
1574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The government of my country always blame Bitcoin for their failure. on: August 16, 2022, 10:57:04 PM
Blaming is not a new issue especially if they don't really know about Bitcoin and much more about its nature. Perhaps, they are wrong because it was not the fault of Bitcoin as it does nothing with your country but this blame must send to your government which is undoubtedly accountable for this. They are the ones who manage this investment and if they fail to negotiate the price and become panic, losses will be their ends.
They can't just simply throw their blames on crypto, they need to question themselves first.
1575  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is bitcoin bear market over? on: August 16, 2022, 02:29:07 PM
so many people that sold the bottom in the comments, so many that sold and thought btc will hit 10k. wonder what they going to do when btc hits new all-time highs, without reaching 10k.
now it is near 24,000, so it is the time to buy.
$10k is nothing, it is a waste of time waiting for it as this is likely impossible to happen.

Though I was optimistic but can't just say it was over, the market still facing the bear season, and this might be extended until the end of this (or even more). As to analyze the market trend and price, we are still not hitting yet the 50% market recovery, that was still a little bit far which means that we are still below and consider it a bear market. I wasn't longing for this nor did I think about it but I was happy because I can still buy potential coins at a cheaper price.
1576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 16, 2022, 11:52:56 AM
As the bottom line, Jerwin Ancajas should be prepared physically and mentally for this fight.

Remember what are those mistakes he did and how Martinez pulverize him and try to avoid that situation the next time they will meet.

It's hard to bounce back from a loss but that's the challenge there or else......

Definitely, but he is a warrior and I'm sure he is a tough guy that's why he is asking for the rematch to correct his mistakes and win this fight. As a fan, I will just back him and believe 100% that he will win in this rematch, then maybe wait for the trilogy as most likely that will be the next thing will happen.
1577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 16, 2022, 11:27:10 AM

I guess SMB will have to adjust their game, they can't just let Meralco takes over just like in game 6. Again, defense will be their key and I think they have the experience to do it, they just have to focus and concentrate on game 7. They can't let the Bolts snatch this series.

If the trend will continue, SMB is going to win in game 7. They wasted the opportunity to close the series in game 6, the big run of Meralco beat them, it cannot happen again in this do or die game for both teams.

That's where the excitement on PBA games is happening, who would expect that Meralco would win, they are a heavy underdog and yet they beat the SMB. I still like the chances of SMB in game 7, they are good in closing out games, but what I like more is the under as for sure it's gonna be a very defensive game.
Once you get to the semis you're no longer the underdog and winning 3 wins against SMB proves that Meralco is also a team to beat and going into game 7, the odds changes and this time many are willing to take risk to place their bet with Meralco. Game 6 is very convincing, Meralco did a great job and yes if SMB wants to be back in the finals they should adjust their strategy or else Meralco will beat them again and their effort will totally be wasted.

You have a point but it will not change the fact that SMB will always be listed as the favorite to win.

IIRC, the spread in game 6 was SMB -5.5, so if that would drop, maybe they will be the favorite by -3.5, but in the end, they are still listed as the favorite and the Meralco as the underdog.

The odds are still the same, it's already out now, you can check on your bookies.

SMB is -5.5 and the over/under is 190.5.
Moneyline for Meralco is 2.70, that's quite attractive.  Smiley
1578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 15, 2022, 12:48:49 PM
Kambosos already lost all of his belts, so there's no reason either Lopez or Kambosos need a rematch since they're didn't get anything and only risking their good record. It's too soon for the rematch, I think if Lopez is already start collecting a belt and Kambosos move up to light welterweight division, the rematch would happen on the new division. Of course it will be on the same hype since Kambosos will become a challenger again.

That would be a blockbuster fight once again because as we saw Lopez with his last Saturday, he is back again and can really compete at his best or even more strong this time. They became rivals in this era, hope they will gonna fight again soon because fans are loving to see it. It's not really a bad idea for them to see each other again in that division since they already went through a number of fights in the lower divisions, and their body will soon adapt to fight in the light welterweight division.

I'm okay with Kambosos vs Lopez rematch, no belts but these two gave a very entertaining fight, so we can expect that many fans will watch this and they'll be able to sell a good PPV numbers. Teo is trying to be a a champion in the new division, but he has not proven anything yet since the last fight was obviously a cherry picked one.
1579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 15, 2022, 11:57:17 AM
Seems like everything has been a bit calm later on the trading front. I think teams may be settling in with what they plan to enter training camp with. The season is just right around the corner so it seems like the Nets aren’t going to be making any deals that don’t interest them. We may see a KD and Kyrie team with Ben Simmons to start the year. Talk about awkward…

Honestly who knows.  There could easily be a situation in which they are working out a deal right now, and on the flipside it can be cold as ice.  I don't think the situation is or will be awkward at all, just normal nba business during the offseason honestly.  Ayers always say it...in the end its just a business.  So if they end up on the court together I expect them 3 to dominate a ton of games together.
I think this trio combo will end in a failure. But who knows? It's time for Kyrie Irving to be serious with the game, play harder and stop his unnecessary antics if he wants a good contract after this upcoming season. The same with Ben Simmons, this might be his last chance to prove that he is still a relevant talent in the league.

 

Depends on how they cooperate with each other since if they continue to act like a moron and want to do stat padding just to increase their stats then they might not go anywhere. But if this trio will adjust and adopt according to what role given to them for sure they can create good chemistry then might they go to play offs next season. The only problem with Nets is their own created drama if they just set aside their pride and play as a team for sure they can compete with those contender teams.

It's too early to judge, Simmons will be playing next season, so most likely the Nets roster will improve having a healthy Durant and Irving. Maybe thats the time the Nets will be able to successfully trade Durant and Irving especially if the Nets will become the number 1 team overall.

They are still a championship contender team IMO despite of the controversy.
However, looking at the NBA Future. https://www.vegasinsider.com/nba/odds/futures/

Nets are now rank number 8 with +1600 odds, honestly, I like it as it's very attractive.
Do you think it's worth a shot?

The strategies which you are using and give you better results then its a good idea to trade with the beneficial tool and to be more successful you should make certain trading plan and follow that so you will quickly achieve your plan. Remember one thing that trading is just a business you will face success as well as some times may be failure but do not upset its just a business.
No other tool that brings us success in trading is to focus on what we are doing. Loss is a part of our trading journey but we never think it was a bad sign, yet I consider this as a tool for us to improve. It serves as a warning that there is something without strategies and style, and therefore, we have to correct this and make trading more efficient.
Without understanding how trading works in real life makes us really upset.
