Los Angeles Clippers - Toronto Raptors - Los Angeles Clippers @ 1.72 - WIN
- Kawhi and PG lead the Clippers with a total of 47 points. I think it's good that the Clippers are limiting Westbrook's time and if you watched that game, they didn't let Westbrook play in the final minutes of the game because they knew that he is very bad in decision making especially in crucial times. Anyway, got the win. Smiley

The right thing to do, just like what the Lakers did with him, was to put him in the second unit as it improved their chances of winning in every game. So I guess it's better that way. It's a good thing they acted fast, otherwise, their playoff spot would have been at risk.

Not that I see it was a trick but a person can read and know Bitcoin, it is impossible he got fooled into investing in other projects that he presume it was also Bitcoin. I'm not sure if newbies would still fall into a such thing because I know that they are also doing research prior to investing in crypto. If someone will invest bfiCoin, it was their choice, not because they'll think that they are still investing in Bitcoin. If that could be a mistake, I don't know if they were able to read it carefully or not.

Money had always been one of the necessities when it comes to promoting, every movement now needs payment.
I agree with some members' suggestions, social media outlets should be one of your targets. This forum too because you can interact with investors or those who are interested in what you are building.
I believe they have money enough for market promotions but what they need is to find an effective way to do that so they won't waste their money.
I agree social media is the best venue for promoting their projects but of course, it should be properly planned and let some influence work on it.
Quote
You can try by also bidding on the first page advertisements. I don't know what is the normal price now but I am sure it is not that expensive.
Signature campaigns are also a great help to promote, proven by old companies that stayed here. Just one click away from the investors in our signature and Voila! they are on your page.
It is indeed, this Bitcointalk is a huge forum already and it was enough to make their project become known to the community. However, if we are targeting more investors, we should maximize the use of the internet, not just in this forum only.
1584  Economy / Speculation / Re: Maybe it's time for BTC to take off and reach the $100K on: March 08, 2023, 10:10:53 PM
Bitcoin is not a joke but I do not think this year we will see $100000 I think we are more likely to see that when the halving has happened and there is not as much Bitcoin being mined. It might create a nice bull run because people have fomo and buy more. I hope it happens before he have too much adoption because people will just sell at $100k and never invest back into Bitcoin if it happens before we reach $100k.
It is difficult to keep the prices rising and even achieve $100k because of the new generation of investors, they are mostly impatient and short-term holders and they will sell when short-ups come. Meaning, we can never find a sustaining upward trend but rather expect it like a roller coaster as it pumps today and back down by tomorrow as these investors will sell their Bitcoin.

Even the adoption couldn't give us assurance as this only help to keep Bitcoin very active on the market. But if we think it will push to reach high due to increasing demand, I could not really expect it.
1585  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think there will ever be a technology that can replace Bitcoin? on: March 08, 2023, 09:42:36 PM
As long as people never find full satisfaction, innovation will come to fill it and it was possible that many years from now another technology would rise.

In fact, many years before we never think about this technology as we are already amazed by ATMs. But it was not the end of cashless developments, someone who really has the passion to do more discoveries will find another option and find Bitcoin and crypto technology. This will have no ending upgrades and we can't even be sure that maybe 5 years from now there is new.
1586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: March 08, 2023, 01:26:15 PM

Next games will be after 6 days as we will see PBA going to another place for the All-Star. Anybody here that is living near the venue or at least will go and watch in person? Cheesy

Ahh, that's the reason why there's a six days gap of PBA games huh but i don't think that many fans are excited to see this non-sense All-Star game now.

I thought there was a game tomorrow, as I am used to betting on Thursdays. However, there is an All-Star game, so we have to take a break from betting. I believe there won't be any betting odds for the All-Star game. If there are any, then I will bet on the 3-point shooting. Do we already have a list of the participants in the 3-point shooting contest?
1587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: March 08, 2023, 12:51:01 PM
Tank Davis knocks out Ryan Garcia. Garcia is too young and I think he is rushing his career too much and will pay the price. If he loses it will be a big set back in his career and he will find it hard to get the big fights again. I think he should wait until Tank gets older and Garcia can get some important fights in between and try to develop the ring experience he needs to beat a Tank.
Tank is 28 years old and Garcia is 24 years old, I don't think 24 years old is too young, take a look with Mike Tyson where his best performance was at 20-23 years old. It's true they're different, but that's a proof where 24 years isn't too young especially Garcia have started his career when he was at 18 years old. I don't see any excuse about age, reach, or total fights, both of them are similar, it just depends on their skills.

It's surely not based on the age but the maturity of a boxer, and I think Ryan Garcia is mature enough in the ring. He was once knocked down, and we all witnessed how he stood up and continued to fight. After that, he dominated his opponent and won via TKO. So, Ryan Garcia is a decent opponent for a very good boxer, Tank Davis, and I'm sure it will not be a one-sided beatdown.

Now the Lakers are in the play-in tournament and we never expected this one to happen in their last games with Westbrook as soon as they released him, they managed to play well even without Lebron. AD is doing well these past few games and they are coming to get that number 6 slot if they continue to win in their next games as well. They can really do well even when they are only a few stars on the court and seems like AD is finding his right rhythm while playing today even though he injured his nose but he continues to dominate the game.
Not sure yet since they are just 1 win ahead compared to the 10th to 13th teams and they still have 16 games left before the Play-In Tournament. So it could change but as long as AD will remain probable and continue doing well, they have a better chance. They made a wise move by trading WB and just in time coz they badly needed a win as Regular Season is almost over. Even better for the Lakers if James will be listed as probable before Play-In.

Just in time before LeBron returns, AD and the Lakers are winning, which is a good sign that they are not struggling. It was a good decision to get rid of Westbrook, and now they are playing with great chemistry. Meanwhile, the LA Clippers are struggling. As long as the Lakers qualify for the play-in tournament, I would assume that they'll be in the playoffs.
1589  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Shiba Inu still worth it? on: March 08, 2023, 10:10:36 AM
but I'm no longer sure about Shiba, I see Shiba Inu as playing with all its holders, besides that I see Shiba Inu as needing investors who have the most wealth like Elon Musk, without any tweets from Elon Musk then this Shiba doesn't mean anything. well, thus in my opinion the shiba inu is not worth holding for a long time
Elon Musk has no participation with Shiba Inu, only for Dogecoin. If you think that Shiba Inu is useless, then was your take but many investors were still investing in this project despite the risk. Might you be right that this will become worthless in the future but nobody knows exactly, we never know if this is even more profitable than those leading altcoins? With that fact that Shiba is still hot in the market, it is possible to see this will stay long and gain more interest to the investors.
1590  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think BTC would rise again? on: March 07, 2023, 09:49:28 PM
Of course, it rises again and this is what it was shown recently. The price is looking good again, slowly increasing but at least we see the light for improvement which could lead to another ATH in the coming days. However, a dump is inevitable as well knowing the fact that Bitcoin is volatile and it happens again and again.

We can't expect an instant rise/recovery but we are sure that it will happen. We are certain of this because of the 4-year market cycle.
1591  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and education on: March 07, 2023, 09:29:14 PM
The truth here is the fact that education doesn't equate to intelligence. One can read all he/she wants but if those things read are not put into action or your everyday routine, there's a high tendency that such a person won't prevail.
It depends in the quality education you are getting but applying it in real life will depend on yourself. Education may not be successful if you won't apply it in real life.
Then it is wasted. And I see some people like this, they earn a degree but never look for a job but just still rely on their parents to provide for their needs.
Someone's attitude and behavior are factors in success because even if you don't have a good education or earn a degree if you have a positive mindset and aggressive attitude to find ways to make money, you can do it.
It is indeed education is very important but if we never use it, that is useless. But overall, it is all about how we carry ourselves to find opportunities.
1592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco - May 20 on: March 07, 2023, 12:52:27 PM
What new things can we expect from him? I thought he had won all his fights after his defeat against Teofimo Lopez, which means he is still the same Loma who uses technical skills in the ring. Haney should be ready for Loma, although he looks strong, Loma is always prepared to face anyone, whether the favorite to win or the underdog.
He fought worse opponents after his defeat to Lopez probably as a confidence booster but he is not the fighter he was at his prime you can see how slow he is and how he has lost his agility. He used to change the angle of his shots regularly but he fights without that Loma flair he had at his prime. He is still a good boxer but he is not on Haney level. I want Loma to win and I thought he would at first but looking at videos Haney will probably knock him out.

I don't think he fought worse opponents, he did fight Nakatani, a fighter that gave Lopez hell in their fight, and even Lopez Sr acknowledge that. But as you pointed out, a out of prime Loma gave Nakatani a beating. And then he goes after a former champion in his next fight, Richard Commey, and then destroy him as well. Maybe he is already shot when he fought a young and upcoming boxer in Ortiz, but he still won that fight. So we shall see if he is no longer in his prime against Haney, and maybe this will be his excuse after he loss the fight.
That's a good point. We should examine if he is not in his prime anymore because, from what I can see, he is still fighting like he is in his prime. The thing is, when a boxer is no longer undefeated, people tend to think that he is not exciting to watch anymore or that he is out of his prime. However, later on, we come to realize that his losing experience made him a better fighter.

Even though Lakay is not the same as before but still he can guide those young guys to improve their performance on the court. But I doubt also that he can really help knowing the current situation and politics in PBA we cannot say that those action they do can really help the team could win a championship. Because most of the team go to finals recently are part of MVP or SMB group.

Converge is an independent team, but if the refs are favoring the more popular team, then I guess Converge will still lose. Besides, it's easy to justify because this team is led by young guys like Maverick Ahanmisi and Jeron Teng. So how about the import of Converge? Are they still continuing to use the services of Franklin?
1594  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading with profitability on: March 06, 2023, 09:52:16 PM
$5 - $10 with a capital of $1000 on a daily basis is already good enough for me. The risk is too low and I don't have to make a lot if I do day trading.
I have seen folks that do trade with such huge capital and then try to achieve more than the capital and that's the riskier thing to do.
But as someone who wants to take lesser risk, I'll just take the easy way of not expecting a lot and not trying hard for me to have a simple and easier goal as I day trade.
This is indeed enough and with the volatility of Bitcoin, we can't expect a huge profit unlike when we are trading altcoins but the risks is too high.
Because as I compared to my friend who is using altcoins can make more than $10 a day if the market is good which means that the hype that these altcoins have could possibly make you earn more and this is quite impossible for Bitcoin. Well, of course, many traders use Bitcoin for safe play and if we are still learning, this is suitable pair to use.
1595  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: crypto market has grown in africa on: March 06, 2023, 09:36:33 PM
While reading some articles, Just found the headline "Crypto market has grown in Africa by 1200%". The greatest opportunity for the people of Africa to discover more about crypto and new web3 technology. Moreover, there is a chance that people would also start paying and accepting crypto.
Bitcoin has grown fast and has become legal in major countries. This is an indication that people had already gained knowledge and interest in this new technology, and these merchants will accept Bitcoin as a mode of payment.
Maybe 10 years from now, only a few people will still be using fiat money while the majority are using a cashless system paying with Bitcoin. This is what we called continuous development and would tell us that Bitcoin is not a scam but a kind of useful discovery.
1596  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If You Could Start Over, How Would you Learn Day Trading on: March 05, 2023, 09:54:32 PM
In my locality there are good tuitions for trading classes. They are so good that you can take the free demos before enrolling or paying heavy fees for the course. They would show you the examples of successful peeps who learnt from them.

I think I will start with those guys and then slowly go for my own demo accounts and trading on them eventually. I think my current thinking is not very good for trading. I will have to start over all of those thinking from the scratch for sure. Basically given chance I will need to redo everything.
Perhaps, it was a good start to having a mentor or someone who could assess upon learning to trade. If it had only been taught in school, many people had wanted to enroll and take that opportunity. Yet it was not as trading was not a known thing until cryptocurrency has come and built such an aura to make it more attractive. That is why it was easy for now to learn about trading as it was pretty available online, we can watch videos and demos which we can apply in actual trading. And it was good enough to start our trading carrier, perhaps, we can learn more through experience.
1597  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Never Trade on Emotions on: March 03, 2023, 09:00:17 PM
Definitely, we won't succeed in trading if we will not control our emotions because this is a manipulating factor that could affect our mindset which could lead to making wrong decisions. Many traders had come and just fail, and blamed themselves because they are too emotional.
I'm going to admit that sometimes I lose control of my emotions but of course, it was different when we are in trading, we have to think about the consequences of letting it happen all the time as it was disastrous to our plan. 
1598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino games plebs like us must play on: March 03, 2023, 01:33:55 PM

-snip

And ordinary gamblers like us can only play moderately and don't need to overdo it while we also don't need to chase victory like other people.
chasing wins is fine for me but what gets worse is chasing big wins, especially pleb gamblers.
because gambling is like a game and we definitely expect to win as a form of our pride that we are able to win occasionally. but keep in mind that we will definitely lose.

so, therefore, what you are saying is true, you don't need to chase victory, but just enjoy your bets in a relaxed manner and if you get a small or big win, it's just a bonus when you gamble at the casino.

The pursuit of win or big wins is the same in my opinion, there is a price to be paid and sometimes the money used to pursue it is spent more than what will be obtained, we can just try to calculate how much is needed to be able to achieve what we want. but it won't always go according to our calculations because gambling is difficult to predict both casino games and sports betting, so stay calm playing and accept any results without the need to take revenge to achieve more because that can make us lose control and end up in something which is even more disappointing
That really happens in gambling because we usually just rely on luck and if we are too unlucky, winning is impossible. Calculating what we possibly get is useless because not even sure we win. In fact, though we have huge chances of winning in sports betting but the truth is that, not all the time we win and it means that we can't predict the game 100%. How much more playing in casinos that only rely on 100% luck like lottery and dice games?
1599  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP future looks shaky and uncertain on: March 03, 2023, 01:03:31 PM

This issue has been running for a long time since Ripple has been facing different charges but the good thing is, it's still being trusted by many investors and it's still actively moving and reaching a good spot despite the challenges that it has been facing. For me, as long as it's being listed on a top exchange, it is still worth buying and holding. It can still be profitable, especially during the bullish season.
Yeah to respect those investors as they kept supporting XRP while there are many cases being filed against Ripple so I use to have XRP in 2019 but after the price crashed as the problem from SEC arise?
I sell all my coins and never buy ripple again till now, or I mean never Hold again but I am buying sometimes because I need to use as payment in some transactions .
for them it is still hopeful but for me? it is Hopeless .
Nonetheless, it was to admit the risk is really high dealing with a project that has been a problem with the SEC. Their reputation has been in question and one day, this project might go once the SEC wins the case and makes all investors lose their money. Do I admit I was still using XRP but never I think I would choose this for holding, just for the sake of a low-cost transaction fee?
We can't be hesitant about their issue as it was best to invest in a project that has no problem with the SEC and we can be sure that we are safe.
1600  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we experience $80k this year? on: March 03, 2023, 11:30:31 AM
...
The price of BTC just drop down to $22k few days ago, which is another opportunity for those that missed last year not to invest in a stable coins to do it now because, the price of BTC will surely reach $80k before the end of this year 2023.
Are you sure investors will experience $80 this year?
You are not just very optimistic about the future of Bitcoin but you are overly speculating about it. Just look at the market trend, it never grows that fast but very slowly, and it leaves no confidence that the market will keep rising as we gonna expect some lows as well. In this current situation, though we are very positive the possible growth of Bitcoin's price but it was impossible to reach it $80k - we are not yet in bullish nor we can expect it this year.  Therefore, I would say that it was far from reality, might say it reach $40k, that is quite possible
