Do we need to wait more 1- 2 years then buy alts now before right before bull market kick in?
Do a favor to invest and buy more potential coins now before the price happens to rally back again. I don't say it gonna happen next year or 2 years from now, it was indeed to make preparations for the surprise as we never know when the Bullrun comes. It was been predicted to come in 2024, but it wasn't too long to wait, right? So better to have it now and ready for the coming surge rather than missing the chance to buy at a cheaper price.

This will be his biggest challenge as of now if he's really worth it to be the champion or this is his end.

I agree with that, he became a champion because he won over an injured boxer, but this time his challenger is young and healthy so if he wins this, people will not doubt on him anymore, Magsayo has to win an impressive fight, and if that will happen, KO should be expected here.

I think Curry is somehow injured during the 4th quarter. I hope that's okay and he won't miss any game.

Yes, we saw how he felt with his leg or ankle.

This is what happened.


But good thing Curry is a real Warrior because;

Therefore, no need to worry about his status in game 4, he will play in a must win game.
1644  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you educate petty traders in adopting Bitcoin? on: June 09, 2022, 02:05:10 PM
I have come to realize that mostly on daily basis, petty traders; hawker stall, street vendors, street hawkers, market men and women, kiosks do transactions often and frequently and they are not amongst the top class citizens in the society.
 
Well, just to hope that these types of people would like to listen and have an interest in crypto they are pretty sure busy with their daily jobs. We can't urge these people to adopt Bitcoin, perhaps it was not ideal to do so. Let things may come momentarily that the use of Bitcoin become officially considered legal tender as for sure that time everyone will think about adopting to new technology. 

As to the extent of hearing some noise about banning and scam issues about Bitcoin, many were thinking negatively instead of giving support for this.

You are right, although in many threads I have said that I have no idea what can happen in the market, it is not good to enter and gamble, because for that it is better to enter a casino and enjoy, for me I see trading as the way to make money little by little, that is, I see it as a business that even if it is very little if it is profit because over time it will become something very big, it is for this reason that I admire the merchants today who manage to decipher the movements of the market despite the active fundamentals out there.

we can't really underestimate the market and so trading.
I haven't found other way to make a good trade other than trusting yourself in doing a decision. This is somewhat hard to acquire, not everyone or the majority has been too confident and that was because we are also not sure about the market trend. It is sometimes I think that trading is also needs luck, kinda be like gambling. What is differs from this to real gambling is because trading needs knowledge and skill, most especially market analysis.
1646  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Luna 2.0 keeps falling on: June 08, 2022, 02:35:40 PM


Can you see Luna 2.0, the price was above $19 when the coin was forked from Lunc, it decreased to around $3.4 when bitcoin was below $30000, bitcoin increased to around $32400 and Luna increased to $12. Bitcoin at $31000 now but Luna at $3.9. if bitcoin decreased to like $27000, this will significantly affect Luna price. This coin is not worth holding during this time until if bear market has ended. If you buy this coin, know that you are gambling.
It wasn't a surprise for this project as some investors take their chance using the forked and make them sell their Luna. Investors are dumping their coins making an abrupt fall in their price. This actually tells us that Luna has no future anymore and people have no trust at all. They are just saving their capital and not looking to reinvest in this useless project.

I don't know if there are still wanted to put their money into this project coz as I guess nothing. Likely, this project has come closer to its end.
1647  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Let's talk about your next crypto portfolio for 2025 on: June 08, 2022, 01:55:58 PM
Is now a good time to start buying?.
Whether this is a good time to buy and build my portfolio, I will still be taking this bear season as an opportunity. I can't afford to blame myself again for missing this as I once been on regrets for not listening to others during the last bear market. Now that is coming back, I shouldn't lose this one...we don't need to wait for more drops, perhaps, nobody knows when we instead start it now and enjoy it later.
 

The message is - take it now rather than make complaints and regrets later.
1648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: taking out a loan for a sports bet on: June 08, 2022, 01:18:39 PM
recently I've come across some information for an upcoming soccer match and I'd like to place a big bet of 50-100k, how easy would it be for me to take out a loan and how long would it take? has anyone else done something like this?

feel free to message me or comment below  Smiley

You mean 50k-100k$? if yes, this is a very large amount of money. And if you're gonna get this amount through loan program, probably it will not be easy instead it's gonna difficult for you to get this I am telling you now. Of course, the lender will ask you a big collateral to check if you are capable to pay that amount of money, unless you have a big assets in the exchange where they will surely get that depending in your agreement.

That's correct, no one could get that huge amount of money through loan here, even if he will convince the lender that the bet is guaranteed to win, they will never believe because in real life, it does not exist, it's just only the words coming from the scammers.

The right thing to do, is collateral the house and lot and ask for a loan, but probably only available through financial institutions like banks.
1649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can You See Or Tell If A Fight Or Event Is Fix ? on: June 08, 2022, 01:00:56 PM
It could be on basketball, boxing or horse racing, or any kind of sport, after being in a particular sport for many years can you see or tell if a fight or event is fixed, there are upsets but in the back of our mind, there's a possibility that the match or game is fixed.
It's really hard to tell because if there's a fix, these people who are doing it are professionals. It's just a guessing game, if you think a certain team is heavily favored that everyone is betting on them, just fade the public and put your bet on a team that you think has no chance of winning.

If the series will be tied at 2-2 before game 5, then the Warriors might win in game 7 if this will reach to game 7.

Warriors had a great chance because they are good at home, but let us not forget what Celtics did in the ECF, they beat the Heat on the road in game 7, so they are not a team that we can underestimate as they have a lot of weapons to beat their opponent. I can't wait to see game 3, I like to see how the Celtics would respond after they got shut down by the Warriors in the previous game.

I will never forget that, but Warriors are a different team, they have been in the NBA Finals many times and have won most of the games. Curry will always lead the team to win, and they will make sure they'll win game 7, and I like them because they had the experience necessary to win.
1651  Economy / Speculation / Re: It goes same way people never learn btc 30k on: June 07, 2022, 10:16:39 PM
November when the price of Bitcoin reaches nearly $ 70k, I'm sure I will not drop it anymore below $ 50k, but this is what happens, once again this proves that we must be realistic, better selling immediately when we have gotten a big profit, and who have not yet started Then the price of $ 30k is a very good start to get a big profit.

This is so naive. People thought they had achieved "big profit" when Bitcoin went from $100 to S1000 in 2013 but a few years later it was worth 20 times more. You either constantly move your money trying to catch every 5-10% move and make money this way or you hold and don't care about anything less than 100%.

Many people become reluctant when there is a market crash, some got worried thinking it drops more which makes them decide to sell their Bitcoin. Well, that was the difference between and short-term holder and a long-term holder every crash that the market been shown these short-term holders react immediately while these long-term holders just listen and observe the market trend.

From what I see, risk-takers will actually be making a huge profit compared to casual investors. They are always looking for a positive view and achievement of the market, not on daily changes.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: June 07, 2022, 02:25:09 PM
Canelo is getting slow which is slower than age GGG if you do see his fight against Bivol then you could really tell that this man is overrated. Sloppy fighting performance
and i would still make out some bets for GGG if you do tend to compare both on their recent matches then you could clearly tell and say on who do have the upper hand.
Im not on being bitter but you could really tell on how they do fight.
It's just one fight, and you can't say that Canelo is slow then, besides that is a weight that probably most of us here would agree, that it's not his weight class. But I would agree that GGG has a good chance because he is extra motivate for a revenge and it shows that Canelo is vulnerable, like what Bivol did. So he should watch that tape as the blue print is already on how to defeat Canelo.
I hope we will see that in the fight, GGG is still not out of his prime I think, so he needs to beat Canelo in this last fight. Canelo loss to Bivol because it's not his weight, he was just trying to go up but he was not able to carry his power, so he is going back now and he finds it comfortable to fight an old GGG that he already beat before.
1653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 07, 2022, 02:00:38 PM
So moving on, what's going to be the pick in game 3.

Celtics have their home court advantage and they are only favorite by 3.5 points.
This time, bets are balanced, look 50/50 on both sides, so I think this kind of line is provided by the bookmakers.
Like stadus said at his last post, Celtics are not as dominant when it comes to home games. They lost 2 of them against the Miami Heat so it's better not to rely on it too much. I may go with the Warriors here again in Game 3, bring that energy on the road or better. If Klay goes hot and the same performance comes out from Steph and Jordan Poole then it will be a monstrous game.
The crucial part is always the defense, must keep that energy flowing even from their bench.

Well as I have said in our local board, if I'm undecided, then most likely I would pick the underdogs. So I might go with the Warriors here, whether ML or the handicap.

They are not doing good at home, and Warrior seems to thrive on a hostile environment, specially in the Memphis series, the crowd was really into it but they overcome and beat the Grizzlies in that series. So I wouldn't be surprised if they will get the win in this game 3 and continue their momentum.

It will not be surprising as we know that the Warriors could win games either at home or on the road. They need to steal one game on the road as the Celtics steal one game already, that is to even the series and make the advantage on their favor. If the series will be tied at 2-2 before game 5, then the Warriors might win in game 7 if this will reach to game 7.
1654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel when the market is downtrend? on: June 06, 2022, 01:30:43 PM
 - worries
 - panic

These are common feelings that I have but that was before. All the past experiences that I've carried until now it teaches me how to be strong and become a positive mindset. And I realized that living in such conditions is a hindrance to success. We, therefore have to change our mind and market view despite the tough condition of the market (bear), we can't find any other solution than to keep calm and stay strong. We can't just let our emotions drive us nor do they take us down that forever in our life that we regret.
1655  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies and their Bounty scams on: June 06, 2022, 01:09:42 PM
These newbie accounts represent their projects and people think that they are legit.  I'm not sure how the participants and the investors will be making deals with them knowing the fact that the majority of newbie accounts can't be trusted. Perhaps, it was not the basis of telling if the bounty runs by these people and with a newbie account can be trusted.

But this gonna happen because of the huge rewards that they offered to the participants. I've found this as a very common reason and encouraging words that lead these greedy people take the bait and get scammed.


1656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: June 03, 2022, 02:10:35 PM
I also see his highlights and he got an impressive knock out win on every opponent he face. Only Donaire able to make his face so bloody and for their last fight performance for sure this is one thing been consider on why they have rematch so hopefully the same on their part 1 we can also see a more entertaining match because for sure Donaire is in revenge mode on what happen to him on their last match.

That was a tough fight by Inoue, he was not used to that kind of outcome because most of his fights are one sided fight which was dominated by him. I like to believe that this rematch will be more interesting as Donaire will not waste his effort, he will find a good opening for a possible one punch KO.

Although he won by unanimous decision, we can still see that Inoue was having a hard time beating Donaire. Inoue himself did not underestimate Donaire, his start was not as aggressive as his previous fight, so he understands that Donaire has the power and the quickness to hit and hurt him.

This rematch is good, Inoue is still the favorite that's why betting on Donaire gives a very attractive return.
1657  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin drops to $8k on: June 03, 2022, 12:53:36 PM
Lets assume Guggenheim's Minerd speculation on bitcoin having an ultimate bottom of $8k if it hits $30k referencing the "[U.S. Federal Reserve] being restrictive.”, Currently bitcoin price is below $28k and from the look of things this speculation might and might not be accurate but what if bitcoin price falls to this very dip.

I am asking what will you sell to buy more bitcoin if this speculation ever happens or will you choose to  sell off all your bitcoin due to FUD.
That is his point of view and it was different from mine (and even from the other members). I would say that was not a realistic view in the market today nor we could compare before as saying it runs to the same point like having a huge drop again.

We have never seen yet that Bitcoin drop below $25k, not even it reached that level until today. This was an indication that the market has its stronghold at @28k. Though we can't assure until when the Bitcoin can hold that price, however, I was optimistic that it could until it rallies back high again.
1658  Economy / Economics / Re: A decision to make on: June 03, 2022, 12:13:22 PM
As investors we must dare to take risks, I remember the principle of successful investors, namely when we dare to take risks, we have the opportunity to get big profits, maybe this is like gambling, but in my opinion this is natural, the higher the risk, the greater the profit opportunities. .
I don't make decisions like what we do in gambling that only asking for some luck, not assurance. If we decide to invest or to buy a house, we are sure (or at least) we have a bigger chance that we get benefits from them. It was obvious that putting our money to an investment is risky, however, we take that option because we believe that we can multiply our money in the future, we thought that by investing today we can buy a house someday.

If we think that prioritizing investment over buying a house is good, then go for it. besides, we take responsibility for everything we do, so no blaming or regrets after.

Just out of curiosity, I just want to check if I can have something that will interest me.

I'll check the names of the participants, and probably watch some videos on youtube.

What happened? Boston had a good comeback and beat the Warriors by 12. That was unbelievable, Celtics have really improved, they are moving the ball very well, when Tatum was struggling, his teammates were there to produce for the team, and that was just crazy, Celtics already took game 1.
