Now sure who Doc J, is he something famous in the Philippines? I will have to research more about this guy.
I'm not sure who this person is either. When searching on Google, "Julius Erving" appears, so it's possible that the person you're referring to might not be widely known. However, someone who is active in the Philippine boxing community on social media, like @bisdak40, might have more information about this individual. Lol, Doc J is just an ordinary person here in Cebu City and he is a trainer in the Omega Gym but maybe he is also a doctor by profession (not sure though). I did some research guys on who is this Alexandro Barrios is and it turns out that Alejandro Santiago and Alexandro Barrios is just one person hehe, his full name is "Agustín Alexandro Santiago Barrios" so there no change in opponent for Donaire guys, maybe they are just waiting for something but the good thing is that Donaire is keeping himself in shape even though the schedule is not definite yet. It's just weird because I honestly thought that Doc J is somehow famous in the Philippines because why would he be in a headline for helping Donaire if he's just a nobody. Curious enough to know who he is, I looked him up and there is nothing that is connected to a Doctor J in Ph. Anyway, thanks for clarifying the situation for us @bisdak. If not because of you, we will have plenty of questions that will remain unanswered and funny enough, we will expect that this Alexandro Barrios is the new opponent when in-fact we are just talking for the same person.

I know Loma is already past his prime but I really hope that what is left to him is enough to outsmart Haney. I expect Haney to make another boring fight just to secure his undisputed belts. Haney will jab, move and then hug Loma every time he goes near. At this stage of their careers, Haney will be the stronger guy so he might dictate the hugs in this fight.
I know, Haney is boring, but I don't know, if you guys heard him in interview, he sounded like Floyd Mayweather to me? Is he copying Floyd up to the way he spoke and that stutter? or it is just me? Like Mayweather, Haney may strive to have a defensive and calculated style, but he is unlikely to achieve Mayweather's level of financial success in boxing. Mayweather is widely regarded as one of the most successful boxers in terms of earnings during his active years. Haney, on the other hand, still has much to prove in the sport. To attract more fans and critics, he should continue moving up in weight classes and seek out challenging opponents and the money will follow. For sure Haney will do that he will copy the style of Mayweather but he can't copy all the techniques because may weather is a pretty boy he can adjust to the punches of his opponent once he calculates that the punches of his opponent feel him like not enough to beat him then he will become aggressive but if his opponent is stronger than him then we will make a defense all the time when his opponent have the timing but when he see an open shot they he can do a counter punch. Maybe he pattern his game like Floyd, but they are very different in my opinion. And just fantasy though, Floyd vs Devin at 135 prime for prime? I will still go with Floyd. At 135 lbs, Floyd is very fast and skillful already and has the knockout power. Devin doesn't have the power and he has a weak chin. So it will be interesting to see if Haney can take the power of Loma. Let's see if he can hit Haney solid and then maybe Devin chin can hold or not. Fight is getting closer so for sure everyone is very excited already to see this fight and probably looking for ways to see this fight for free. That's their difference though, Floyd Jr. in his prime was hard to defeat or even take down because even if his chin will receive a solid blow, it can still withstand it. Plus, he's quite a package as his power is vicious enough while his defense is also a killer that enables him to counter quickly and efficiently. Philly Shell was Canelo's nightmare, he can't just forget that easily because it was Floyd who gave him his first defeat. Anyway, we are now much closer to the fight night and it's just one sleep away from seeing the much anticipated fight of the year. Not because of Haney but because of Loma, people wanted to see how will he perform this time and looking forward as well to have the answers to our questions.

Inoue went the other way which is unifying and becoming undisputed. The goal of achieving them won't allow you to move up in divisions pretty quickly just like Pacquiao did. If Pacquiao went on to pursue unification fights and become undisputed, he will never reach the 8 division titles. Pacquiao only tried to unify twice which ended in a draw and a loss. Pacquiao never experienced holding 2 major belts in a division. But somehow, Pacquiao is a 5 division lineal champion IIRC which makes him unique and special. So if there is only 1 belt per division, Pacman will remain as having the most titles in as many divisions, Mayweather probably 4, De La Hoya only 2, etc. Having only 1 belt but being recognized as the lineal champion is still better than having 3 belts but unrecognized as the lineal of its division. That is why Spence despite owning 3 of the 4 belts needs Crawford to determine the lineal champion of their division. Pacman did not duck anyone and always went on to fight the best which are the lineals or #1 or #2 in the divisions that is why he made it to 5.
Most probable reason why Manny Pacquiao chose to take that road is the fact that welterweight is the weight class since then that have big fights and offers a lot of money in almost all of the fights and as long as you're already known and a champion, it's already safe to assume to you will be having a guaranteed millions of dollars from just a single fight. Aside from that, it's a packed weight class for many known boxers at that time.

fact is that even though Phillipus Nghitumbwa didn't have the best preparation conditions, he went to fight on equal terms against John Riel Casimero, I really believe that if Phillipus Nghitumbwa had the good conditions that athletes from abroad have, he would come out victorious in that fight . in terms of image, Casimero after this fight will no longer be seen with much expectation, what he could do was take a long time to prepare and get a fight with a very strong and popular fighter and in case of his victory, he would have very attention
I couldn't agree more. Casimero may have won that fight but he still fell short on the people's expectation which is somehow reasonable enough because it is really possible that Casimero he can do more and could execute more if he wasn't distracted. And while he seems to be underestimating Filipus, he might've lost that fight if the latter came prepared as Casimero was really struggling to close the fight with an exclamation.

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, USA is one of those countries which favor illegal immigrants over legal immigrants. If you apply for a legal visa, you need to wait for 3-4 years to get a hearing. An easier route is to travel to Mexico and then jump the fence over Mexico-US border. Every year millions of illegal immigrants take this step. Now I don't know whether the Americans will ease visa rules for the FIFA World Cup of 2026. If they don't do so, then I don't expect a large attendance from third world nations such as India and Indonesia.
Yes, this is true, but there is a logical explanation for this - many residents of third world countries after entering the United States will "get lost" and stay there illegally. By the way, I don’t know how it is now, but earlier, for everyone entering the US legally, vaccination (from covid) was mandatory, and for illegal immigrants who crossed the border and demanded citizenship/asylum, there was no such requirement Thus, it was safer to enter the US illegally. There are many people who think letting America host the 2026 world cup was a wrong decision and that they will have problems visiting this country to watch the World Cup games but I disagree and I think since America got the experience of hosting other great tournaments, they won't disappoint us and we are going to see a better world cup than what we saw in Qatar. I don't think any other country can organize the World Cup in such a brilliant way in Qatar. The amount of money and initiatives they have spent around just one football world cup is not usually seen in other countries. Qatar finished the 2022 World Cup in good fashion. It is not possible to enter America as easily as it is possible to enter other countries. When the World Cup is held in America, I hope that the American government will stabilize the rules for the World Cup visitors only. Is that the only basis for a World Cup to be hosted greatly? I don't think so. Yes, it's true that Qatar has poured so much resources just to build the much needed stadiums to cater the people who will wanted to see the games live but that is already expected because they are a Petro-country unlike any other countries that have hosted the World Cup before, and in-terms of money, I think it's already a fact that nothing can beat what the Qatar did but you'll see soon if Saudi Arabia can get ahold of the event by being a co-host because I bet they can host it in a way more luxurious manner.

I see Nuggets vs Celtics final. I know that a lot of people have a lot of different opinions and Lakers played as well as they could hope for and almost got a win at Denver, that's good. But I believe that Denver had Jokic advantage that can't be unseen, that is a huge one and the fact that he plays like this at times to give them the edge is something huge, we need to consider that as the most valid opinion at this point.
I know that fans are upset about the current situation but we need to realize that Lakers just can't respond like that, not when Jokic plays like this. Even though if Jokic plays badly for a few games, I do not think that it will be 4 games, it is going to be totally different and we need to accept that.
I actually think the betting majority will see it the same. Jokic is a complete mismatch for Lakers to defend. Nuggets have to figure out how to not get Murray switched onto lebron and this should be a quick series. They will need multiple lights out type performances from their secondary players for multiple games to make this competitive. And Miami might hang in there but I think the Celtics front court is just too much. Jaylen Brown is gonna abuse miamis guards. That's right, both #2 Celtics in the East and #1 Nuggets in the West could be a good matchup for this years finals. But there could be unexpected events though, Miami is no push over, although they are 3:1 underdog against Boston, we can't discount that they might make this series a very close match. But for this game 1, I'm seeing a big win by the Celtics to make a statement, it could be a double win advantage, I reckon. Unfortunately, the exact opposite thing happened as the Miami Heat snatched their first win on the Celtics homecourt, although that is not really surprising. The latter commit a lot of mistakes in early second half and let the Miami Heat rally to lessen the gap until they overcome it, even their head coach, Mazulla wasn't happy about what happened as he threw his clipboard during the timeout. This are getting pretty interesting in the East, later on, the West will be having another showdown. Game 2 between the Nuggets and Lakers, this should be entertaining.

There is no normal being that loves getting losses on business, career, investment and trades that's why even company holders make financial policies to keep record of investment and profits flows. And unlike other business bitcoin also makes sales and losses if you do not investment wisely....is nice when you put in what can not put you sickbed or gives you hypertension, don't invest out of what you cannot withstand the loss.
Is better to use small money or learn risk management first before investing especially newbies.
You are right on this. Investing using our spare money will make us more focused on our long term goals without being bothered by any price fluctuations or market crash. We will no longer panic or become stressful when the market suddenly turns bearish knowing we only invest an amount that is not needed at the moment, so the essence of having patience and perseverance will be more utilized provided that we are aiming for long term investment. And there will be bigger chances to enjoy and be thrilled on the high volatility of the market since it’s high volatility alone can offer us life changing results.

A friend suggested Bitcoin to me about 1 year ago. I have been trying to learn the history of Bitcoin ever since. How to earn from Bitcoin, I learned that investing will make profit or loss. Success can never be achieved without risk. Then I became interested in investing in Bitcoin. My family is a very poor family. I am studying now and earning BDT 7000 per month from tuition, BDT 3000 I spend on running my household. BDT 3000 is my monthly expenses and I save BDT 1000, I save around BDT 10000 in a year and invest in Bitcoin. I will hold the investment for a long time. According to many researchers, we will soon see a bull market. Bitcoin will be over $100K in 2025
But the main thing is that bitcoin is still illegal in our country, I invested bitcoin very carefully.
Lately I think it is better to invest in bitcoins than depositing money in the bank. Day by day people have lost trust in banks. It is heard that many banks are going bankrupt and closing down.
Its a good mindset that you want to invest and grow your money while you’re still young. That is your edge compared to other students who know nothing on how to grow their savings if they also have. However, know that any investment is never easy to succeed and make it profitable. You have to work hard for it and gain more knowledge and experience as well so you can succeed on your chosen investment. Especially for bitcoin, the risk is high because of its volatile market. But if you know how to handle the market’s volatility, without compromising your studies, I guess that will give you an advantage on making bitcoin as your side hustle aside from your studies.

Is copy trading worth it
Can I make 20$ per day if I have 2000$
Copy trading is worth it if you are copying from a successful trader. But always know that it won’t be good for you in the long run since you become dependent on other trader while making yourself know nothing when it comes into your own trading. Sometimes, it’s also good to trade and commit some losses and mistakes because that will help you to learn on your own. Also, trading never guarantees profits daily. There are times you may be profitable, but there are times too wherein you will ruin your trades and become unsuccessful. That’s how trading works in reality.

There is an opinion that the more money you spend, the more you get in return, it is interesting to find out who really works in this direction. I spend enough money, but I have a fixed income, therefore I will not be able to get more. I don't have rich relatives, and I don't expect an inheritance either. I want to get rich, not to deny myself, but I have to save on everything. Who really faced big expenses and received even more? How does it work, maybe I don't understand the essence of it correctly?
It depends on what you are spending into. If you are just spending your money to satisfy your wants through unnecessary things, that will never give you valuable returns. However, if you spend on useful and essential things that will generate an income later on, then probably you can expect high returns after that. If spending a good amount of money means you are taking the risk, then you will really have high chances to receive more amount of money once you also learn to manage how to deal the risk.

Investment with bitcoin is good but it have a disadvantages when death occur, bitcoin is not a property which your children can inherits like other properties that is mark able, I notice that with all the I have being investing in bitcoin if mistakenly I return to my maker without by children knowing my bitcoin wallet security password, that means that my bitcoin will remain in my wallet till eternity, this gives me a nightmare, my kids are three and I want to have different wallet of bitcoin and WILL my bitcoin to them with the password of each of the wallet. Because my investment in bitcoin I will make sure that they have know bitcoin because of the wallets I will issue to them, because if they are not willing to learn bitcoin I can't force them to learn and understand bitcoin, but when I'm no more the will know the important of knowing the basic of bitcoin, but I'm not planning to die now, but we don't what tomorrow will result out in the future.
To make all of this not complicated on the side of your children, much better if you expose them so early on this industry si that they would know what you are doing into. And they may have an idea that you have a investment on bitcoin, if there's something bad happen they would know where to locate your keys and they could use your hodl balances without any problem. This topic needs to be properly executed very well so that there's no risk for all of the parties to lose totally your money if you suddenly die in unfortunate way. However, wait for your kids to be mature enough before you will start teaching them about bitcoin and expose them as to what kind of investment you are into. For now, you can teach your wife first so she’ll be aware also on how to trace your investment if ever you suddenly lost your breath unfortunately. I guess that will not worry you anymore because your wife will be the one to teach your kids in the future when you are not around anymore.

Earning money online is far superior to working at a physical establishment during the day. Although offline is highly appreciated and difficult. Trading is a great approach to find your true self. It will put everything to the test, including your greed, emotions, patience, discipline, how you handle failure, control, common sense, and resolve. I strongly advise anyone who is going through a terrible time in their life to learn to trade since it provides them a clear sense of purpose other than waiting for jobs. So, which is better, online or offline?
Trading has certainly its own advantages and disadvantages as well. Though it’s giving us a great income every time our trades became successful but always know that there is no guarantee that you’ll be making the same profits everyday. You’ll be trading and make significant profits today but maybe by tomorrow you’ll start losing them again slowly. So the risk of losing is still high most particularly if you’re a beginner trader that lacks knowledge and skills in trading. For me, trading is a good side hustle but it can never be reliable enough as your main source of income.

If a person is a gambling professional and can make money from gambling consistently, he will not say it to too many people and will keep it for himself. But being consistent in earning income in gambling every day is very difficult and not many can get it, while others will only experience a lot of losses.
Someone who is a professional has managed to master everything that must be owned to make money at gambling. And as you said, people like that have insight, knowledge, analytical skills, self-control and much more that we don't know. And that is why many people fail to make money from gambling, especially if they have high targets to achieve from gambling.
Yes, it is not possible to win consecutively in gambling. Moreover, I have seen a lot of gamblers in my real life who have made big money from gambling and after some time they lost the money or other assets. There is nothing to say about continuity in gambling. You have to be prepared to lose any time. However, those who are experienced gamblers can usually control them there may be somewhat profitable, but continuous winning is not possible for them. And if that is not possible then it is not possible to earn a certain amount of money. It is possible to win consecutively in gambling mate (in-terms of profits), a lot of people have already done that successfully especially the ones who took gambling as their primary or secondary source of income. Consecutively is very possible but that will just take a few days and not too long enough that we can already say that they are the most lucky person here in God's green Earth. But we should know as well that it's not for everyone mainly if we don't have the skills and before the success, they've endured countless of years having losses on their end until they found a technique to make profits at the very end of the day.

Now that there's another Bantamweight Champion, there are now 2 current champions in the Bantamweight Division:
Takuma Inoue - WBA Jason Moloney - WBO
On the other hand, Nonito Donaire Jr. and Alejandro Santiago's WBC Bantamweight Title match is still hanging in the air with no updates.
I expect Donaire to win one of the remaining titles because of all the boxers here in this division after Inoue left Donaire is a serious contender to be a champion, this is Donaire's last hurrah or hope to become a champion and possibly retire, all boxers want a good exit they don't want a big loss when they are going out of the boxing world and with old age approaching fast, Donaire need one good fight and it should be a title fight. I also think Donaire has the advantage and if he has a chance to fight the other champion, he might have a higher chance of winning the unification bout. It is sad that Astrolabio failed to get the WBO belt but I believe Donaire will be able to beat Moloney for a unification bout if it happens. I only wish that the future match of Donaire will happen in the time frame when he isn't that exhausted because of old age. Judging from Jason Moloney's recent performance versus Vincent Astrolabio, I can say as well that Donaire got a good chance on beating the new WBO champion for a unification fight in-case Donaire wins his campaign versus Santiago to possess the vacant WBC belt. All that is left now for Donaire is to materialize his own fight. There are many rumors that are now surfacing in the internet but none of those made serious sense on why his bout took too long before they can make it, except for the Probellum's current situation which is Donaire's promoter.

Ouch! The Boston Celtics took the life away from the Philadelphia 76ers. The 1st half was fun until Jayson Tatum got hot and it's totally over. He passed the record made by Steph Curry on a Game 7 points made. 50 for Steph passing KD and now the crown is on Tatum with 51 points. Bad man. I was wondering when will James Harden erupt at attacking the paint but he seems scared to put it there and make an offensive attack. The usual playoff James Harden is not yet gone. This is how he panicked back on Houston Rockets and it happened again. It ain't about lack of experience, he choked again. Joel Embiid did not play like an MVP too, it's either Horford is really good at defending him or he forgot that he has one more weapon which is perimeter shots but he is not taking it. I didn't like the plays, most of them are kick-out passes with no accuracy on where the ball will go. 1/2. At least I won the Over 198.5. Congrats to the Celtics bettors. All spreads are covered. Kind of a predictable game. Everyone kept saying taytum is overated and then dude drops 50 in a game 7 do or die game. There are players and then theor are special players who rise to the occasion. I'd take this dude on my team any day any game. I hope they take care of business with miami and expect them to. Gonna be tough for the east to come out and win it this year the west just looks so top heavy dominant. I wouldn't say his over rated though, last year they didn't have the needed experience to beat the Warriors, but now it's a different Boston team. It's a come from behind victory in this series and him and Brown has mature enough not to choke in big games like game 6 at the road against the 76ers. And now the drop 51 points in from of the crowd, if you are a Boston Celtics fans, you should be happy with the way they beat the 76ers. Hot shooting and they play good defense too limiting Joel Embiid and Harden. So congrats who beat on the Celtics at handicap. I agree. It's just that the Boston Celtics did a wonderful job defending their rim from Embiid, Harden and the others. What the Celtics have now didn't come from an overnight success just to be called an overrated because the team has endured many seasons without having such wins in their favor, last season, they had a good run but was defeated by the Warriors in the end but now, they are back stronger and probably will stretch their bounds towards another Finals. As a matter of fact, I also had the Celtics on my betslip -7 and honestly I was having a hard time weighing if that handicap will be covered as it is already Game 7 but it turns out that the Celtics have a blowout win leaving the Sixers in tears, again.

Therefore I want to urge all my fellow bitcointalkers to not lose interest in holding because of these little drops in price keep holding your Bitcoin .
Nobody can be forced to follow your wishes; everyone has the right to make their own decisions. That might be good to you, but it might not be for others. It will definitely boom soon
Oh wow! Would you take responsibility if something went wrong given the statement you made? What we have here is just an opinion and it will be on your own discretion how will you decide towards the matter, of course, we will see some post here urging us to hold despite what's happening in the market these days and we should know too that it is indeed the right thing to do especially if we are hodling for long term purposes. But if the investors will back out after seeing some declination, that's on their part because they have a weak hands and it's a good thing for us as we do not want that in our community.

Just a few hours and we will witness the Eastern Conference Semifinals - Game 7 between the Boston Celtics vs the Philadelphia 76ers! Which team do you think will step up their game?
Breaking News: Ja Morant is now trending on Twitter again because he was seen flexing a gun on his Instragram Live.
Ja Morant is trying to be a rapper rather than a NBA player. Shannon Sharpe was right in his claim that Ja was "hustling backwards."
Oh crap, not again. Let's wait for the confirmation if it's a real gun or not. But assuming it is. The question of "Why?" will come out. Why does he always bring a gun? Is America not that safe anymore? Are they back to being the Wild Wild West? Is he on drugs or did some screws come out? A lot of money is at stake in his name and he will be wasting it if ever the NBA decides to cut him from being a player due to this problem. I want to hear what Jalen Rose will say about this. His last statement for Ja Morant and his father was an eye-opener not just for them but for all the players who are in the same state as him. But this is strike two and he should've learned his lesson from strike one. Also, his strike one is not like a flagrant foul in NBA but more of painting black on his image that is being idolized by kids. We will see where this will go. Well seems like Ja didn't learn from his suspension. Maybe he enjoyed the time off from basketball. Wouldn't surprise if this time it will be a real suspension. What are these people thinking anyway. Pretending to be a gangster even though he grew up in a normal family at a normal school and everything. Why does he want to be something he is not. He has everything anybody can wish for but still causes problems like this. The Grizzlies will be the villain for years to come I guess. I thought Ja Morant got some help this time because he said it himself before that he will take what happened to him seriously for him to be a better version, but what happened is the better version is his worse. Seriously though, this kid should be surrounded with people that have real goals to help him achieve his full potential in the court and not being a gangsta when they aren't. Remember that a real gangsta like Damian Lillard is not even bragging it, he knows what's the true meaning of it unlike Ja here who just wanted to be the next Ja Wick, but the worse version.

Kambosos is easy to read because he is not a technical boxer, but Loma, who has been in this industry for a while, possesses the experience that will be advantageous against him. This matchup is undoubtedly thrilling, with Haney being the favorite while Loma aims to prove himself, as some perceive him to be past his prime. While we cannot predict the outcome of this fight, I personally like to bet on the underdog.
This fight should not be like that of Kambosos because we know how Loma can throw punches from multiple angles and also he has the speed and power compared to Haney's last opponent. By the way, both of them have a chance to prove their worthiness right here and this fight might gonna be Loma's last one if he will be beaten hard and Haney should not slack off either because it could be a career destroyer for him if he is knocked out and his weakness will appear after that just like Amir Khan. I sure do hope that it is still the case of Lomachenko where he can definitely give any other opponent some hardships in the middle of the fight from reading his movements as he will be hard to guard from throwing serious punches in multiple angles, other than that, his defense is also hard to penetrate which makes him almost invulnerable from the heavy punches. This will be interesting because people are still looking forward to see Loma's old form which I think we will as he himself know that he didn't have a good performance in his return.

You are late comer but you are not too late, the party is still here. After 3 more halvings, 98.4% of total supply will be mined and imagine from 2032 to 2140, more than 100 years, there will be only 1.6% of remaining total supply will be mined. If you are wondering about decision, this fact is not challenging too much for you to make your decision. Join or miss the party. -snip- being early or late is just a relative term. even if you are early, if you don't do anything, then being early is useless but if you think you are too late, but you have done something like stashing some satoshis, then you are much better as compared to the one who was early but did nothing. so contemplate on what you are doing doing these times. if you think there's future in this market, act now. but don't regret if you just observed and did nothing today. I agree, it doesn't really matter whether if you invested much earlier or just invested this year. The important thing is to start your journey as fast as you can before any day goes by without doing anything aside from saying to yourself that you're already late because a lot of things has happened. There are pretty much dozens of reasons why you should invest now instead of doing it later, remember that gains is always a gains and you will not get that if you're still doubting at the time you're on.

One of my close friends his name is Naher. He came to visit my house. Once while discussing with him, I mentioned the name of bitcoin. He wanted to know what bitcoin is? I was telling him that bitcoin is a digital cryptocurrency coin launched in 2009 by a man named satoshi. I tell him Bitcoin has been around for 14 years. I give him more idea about Bitcoin. At one point he expressed his interest in investing in bitcoin, I told him that there is a possibility of not only profit but also loss from investment.To invest you have to take risk. My friend invests in bitcoin knowing profit loss. He works for a salary of about $400 per month. He invested about $500 in Bitcoins. I didn't show my friend interest in investing in bitcoin. He himself knowingly invested in bitcoin. Did I give my friend the right advice?
Well, I can say that you did the right thing for telling your friend that there's a bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. But hopefully, what you wrote here in this discussion is also exactly what happened and it's not that you're almost forcing your friend to invest into bitcoin because $500 is a huge sum and if things get worse, you could be blamed because you're the one who told him to invest. Don't forget that our purpose is just to give them some ideas and let them know the existence of cryptocurrency, now if they are interested then they should be the ones who will take the next step.
