Again, I don't know about this opponent of his, I thought he is done with the tune-up, and now he has another tune-up fight? Well, if this is necessary before Garcia will face Davis, then I think I would just accept and watch this fight, I just love to see Garcia fighting Davis and I think I like his chances against Davis.

Back to Inoue and Donaire, I don't have issues on how prepared is the latter. In fact, I believe that he's more than ready for this rematch now. But the real question is, can he defeat Inoue?

According to Donaire, he is confident that he can now take down and deal with Inoue.

Well, as for any boxers, if the question asked to them is about their status of the fight, they will surely answer that they are prepared.

From what I see of Donaire, he knows very well the strategy to beat Inoue but the question is, how he will apply those strategies in the actual fight as that wasn't easy to unleash without meeting some certain factors.

That's right, no boxer would say that he cannot beat his opponent, even the heavy underdog fighter would think that way. That's what we called confidence, but in the ring, it is the better fighter that will always win the fight and I think Donaire has a chance to upset the monster Inoue.
1683  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the market rise in June on: May 30, 2022, 11:56:13 PM
I am sure that in June we will see at least a bounce, which may have already started. The market fall cannot be permanent and it has been falling for a long time without a bounce. Many indicators also show that bitcoin is heavily oversold right now. Also keep an eye on the stock markets, if the falls there stop, cryptocurrencies will surely bounce back.
You can't be sure of that unless there is a sort of fundamental basis that supports such recovery (at least). But for now, we don't hear any which means that it found to be hopeless, however, I don't also think that we gonna go deeper. What probably the scenario to see next month is just the same as what we have this May. The prices are still low and no signs of recovery but even though it still looks like that I wasn't worried about the future coz I'm sure this will soon get over.

That was a heck of a game. Like watching the 80's.  Grin
Low scoring (didn't hit the over 197.5), brutal defense, and officials not calling fouls even when bodies falling on the floor. I can say I love that Game 7.
Also lost the Miami Heat ML bet but I enjoyed watching it pretty well.
No hates to the Butler 3-point decision. The team recognized he should take that shot and they like what he did. I bet no one will want to be in that position except him.
Cheers to the winners and to the Boston Celtics.

He takes it as a real star and even he missed that shot, everyone does support his decision. I will understand if there are people who

will criticize that act, but he's the main man, and he has that capability to make that shot, just not lucky enough, but it's a good shot free enough

not being bothered by the defense. It's for the Boston and they will advance to the finals to meet the Warriors.

Time for another series to watch and place our bets..

Yes, we are in the NBA Finals now, let's appreciate the effort of both teams, especially the heat because they never gave up, they fight until the end, it's just that the luck was not with them in that game. Warriors vs Celtics are destined to face in the NBA Finals, so yeah, let's start betting.

And for me, this is a better series compared to the Warriors/Heat. it's going to be an offensive battle as both teams love to shoot from the outside. I think  Wiggins will be having a hard time guarding Tatum here or Draymond might also help on the defense. I hope Looney will not change, he will have a tough match up inside, so let's see if he can continue his great performance in the WCF.
1685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: May 30, 2022, 02:56:43 PM
Boston Celtics made it to the finals years later, and they did it as a team. There is not a single superstar in the team, there are many good players and team plays. The 7-man rotation gives really good results. They deserved to reach the final.
Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, is a team accustomed to the finals. They will play the final again. It's a matter of curiosity how they will perform in the post-Durant period. Let's see if Curry and Thompson can carry the team.

Celtics really deserved this Finals appearance. However, they're most likely to be the underdog in terms of experience. Curry, Thompson, and Green literally lived in the Finals from the last 5-6 years. They just skipped 2 finals appearances when they're unhealthy. The experience is really a huge factor in a finals match up. Look at how the Celtics carelessly let the Heat cut the 10 point lead in the final minute of game 7 coz they are rushing and so excited to win the series. They should be more careful with facing the Warriors as they are not like the Heat who shoots poor % from beyond the arc.

I agree with you, they can't afford to commit mistakes against the Warriors because they are a great team, they are a good shooter and good in defense as well. When Heat only relied on Butler, this team Warriors is different because they have Klay, Curry, and now Poole, they are good 3 point shooters, and of course Wiggins has joined the party.

For now I have saved my Bitcoin in the hardware wallet. But since I have more than one hardware wallet, I am planning to save it to another one in case I have accumulated a decent or big amount of it. And yes I agree that we should never put all of our eggs in one basket, even if it’s a hardware wallet. We should be always prepared for any circumstances later regarding our BTCs.
That is the thing we are supposed to do as we don't know if we are the next target of these hackers. A sort of market anticipation and fund security seems to be our top priority just to give no way of these hackers to succeed in their evil works that actually become rampant nowadays. But I think this was not just the thing we do, we also have to be more careful in using our PC/laptop when accessing our hardware wallet, we leave no trace for these people as every single mistake we made, that will be their chance.

I converted all all my altcoins to btc and eth and solona and stop listen to youtubers.
The youtubers can ruin your life. make your own decision and you will be fine.
This is relevant for me.
Many had failed and blame themselves, and even regretting because of the wrong decision been made. Yeah, this is very common for those people who come in a hurry. It was found to be more relevant to anticipate the market decline than to be a greedy holder looking for more profit. Likely, if you miss the chance of selling your coins to Bitcoin, I'm very certain you are also doing this (blaming).

You are not just doing it smart, but what you did is an independent decision, and it was great.
1688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 27, 2022, 12:27:31 PM


The current NBA champion betting odds.

I still believe that the eastern conference winner will take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Unless there are major changes like game suspensions and injuries barring vital players from competing. I am actually more concerned if Jimmy Butler's previous poor performance was due to his knee getting worse. At least Boston Celtics duo are still in their mid 20s and are healthy. Marcus Smart might is questionable though. Maybe they will rest him since Boston already beat Miami without him. Marcus Smart will be key in shutting down GSW's superb offense. If Boston ends the eastern finals in game 6, they will be expected to become favorite to win the finals. 



Boston has a bigger roster of players that can score and have a lot more good shooters other then Tatum so this is a huge advantage for them. Miami cannot play without a good Jimmy Butler on the floor and that was seen in the previous games. So expecting Celtics in the final

That's the problem with the Heat, with Butler they will surely struggle. Also, I don't expect that Butler will suddenly turn an old Butler prior to injury in game 6, the preparation is too short and of course, we also have to consider if Herro will play or not as he is a big loss if he will not play again.

Good luck in game 6 guys, I hope you carefully choose your bet because it could be the last game in the ECF.
Celtics may win but may not cover, that could possibly happen.
1689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 27, 2022, 11:53:59 AM
This shows that now Donaire is serious and considers this match not as easy as previously imagined.
This is clearly a real threat to Inoue because regardless of what Donaire indirectly emphasizes here that he is ready for this and this makes it seem as if a real threat to Inoue to be more leverage if you want the fight to be more exciting.
I like the statement of Donaire, looks like he is really serious with his goal of becoming the undisputed champion in the bantamweight divison, if he will win in this bout, he will be a unified champion and for sure will soon be an undisputed as only Inoue is the toughest opponent in this division.
He is now the seed of course he has to say things like this because apart from maintaining his reputation this is also useful for him who really has to put his confidence first and this is quite a natural thing to do.
I think the first battle that really hit Donaire was also a revenge mission, of course he didn't want to mess with this.
This is his only chance to avenge his loss because after this, if he loses, he is not a champion anymore and most likely he will just think of retiring. So it needs a big preparation on his part in order for him to beat Inoue as we all know the type of boxer Inoue is, he is undefeated and has a good pound-for-pound record rating.
1690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: May 27, 2022, 11:07:31 AM
Here I think it is difficult to determine the winner in advance, yes, Haney is younger than Kambosos by 5 years, but at the same time he has more fights 27 against 20, he also wins more often by knockouts and therefore he should spend less time in the ring, but this is not so because he wins by knockouts usually in 3/4 of the fight. So I think in this fight the chances of boxers are about 50/50

kambosos is too much for Haney. His punching speed, foot work, stamina are highly underated. And although he throws punches in an awkward angle, he's got good counter. He is indeed a student of Floyd. Unless Haney is smart enough to counter kambosos fast handspeed and good at cutting distance, there's a huge chance that he might be KO.


I like your confidence on Kambasos, because looking at the betting odds, looks like Haney is too much for Kambasos, but of course, let's see if who will win becasue this is definitely a great fight between the two undefeated champoions. I agree that Kambasos is underrated, I hope he will prove to us that he is a legit champion so he will gain the respect he deserve.

ETH, BNB, and SOL...
That is all I have for now...whether I have to add more coins or just fill it the same. I just observing the market situation, the more it drops the more possible I'll be adding more money to invest but that can't be the last top-up, I'm going to hold then and wait for the price to recover.

 We are not in profit yet nor we can expect it at the current condition, that only be seen when the market changes its direction. I wasn't expecting a long bear season, I foresee such a recovery in the 4th quarter.
1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 26, 2022, 11:29:47 AM
How about Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics later. This series is kinda unpredictable and I could not tell if the Heat do have the upper hand at their home. Boston stole one from them and it could happen again.
I may just watch the game and forget about betting.

It's pretty hard to predict who will win Game 5, even though the bookmakers think the Celtics are the favorites tonight. In addition, there is already an injury update, and the Celtics said that Smart and Williams will play, while the Heat said that Herro is out tonight. However, I think the Heat will have a chance to beat the Celtics if they can defend as they did in Game 3.

I think the bookies is right this time, game 5 was won by the Celtics.

Both Robert Williams and Marcus Smart played although limited minutes, but they have contributed big with their defense.

Unfortunately the Heat, don't have the players to score in this game, Bam did his share, but maybe Butler is still nursing that injury and not 100%.

Butler has been clearly bothered by his injury, he was all buckets all series from this playoffs then suddenly became a hot trash from the last 2 games after his injury. He went 7/37 fg from game 4 and 5. Kyle Lowry was a hot trash too. With them being inconsistent, we really can't expect them to win against the Celtics who's been playing great with all their heart to reach the Finals. Celtics are on a mission this playoffs, If the Heat won't find a way to fix their system offensively, game 6 might be their last game for the playoffs.

They cannot easily correct their mistake, this game was already taken by the Celtics because they have lots of players that could step up. Horford is really huge for the team, he was helping on the defense and offense so Tatum and Brown are not forced to make the shots. Marcus Smart has a little contribution only, but having him playing with the team is his biggest contribution due to the energy he could bring.



1693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Western Conference Finals (Warriors vs Mavericks) on: May 26, 2022, 10:58:01 AM
^^ I don't think we can compare the Suns and the Warriors though, just saying. But I will have to agree that it won't be beneficial for them if they lose the next game. So this game is very important, they need to bring their A-game in both ends otherwise it will be a sweep by the Warriors or 4-1 and then obviously the end of their season. Kevon Looney is the hero for the Warriors last game, maybe we will see another Warrior stepping up if they are going to win huge at Dallas.
This now or never for Dallas since if they lose, Warriors will have more confidence to end the season and claim tha trophy. I think they should have more sense of urgency here and have a better game plays for them to take care of the lead, Dallas can really compete with Warriors they just need to be consistent and execute their game plan, this is not yet over for them but they should take this game.
Those leads on the first half was a great one, its just that the experience of warriors players came out and help the team take the lead back and win the game. Their next game will be more exciting since they are playing at the Dallas home court and this could be the best chance for Dallas to take a win and chase warriors to tied the series. This is far from over, Dallas is able to came back against the Suns and maybe they can do it again.

Fortunately, Dallas wins in Game 4 and you are correct, it's their best chance and that's what they did. Took a big lead, and then they try to hold Warriors to win that game.

However,' that's only one game and not Game 5 shifts to Chase center wherein GSW is very hard to beat. So this might be the final game for Dallas as the Steph Curry doesn't want to go back in Game 6 at American Airline as the crowd for sure are going to be hostile.

Game 5 is going to be exciting to watch for the Warriors, not sure if everyone is betting on the Warriors, but I would not hesitate putting my bet on the Warriors knowing they are extremely good at home, and this is a revenge of their game 4 lose to the Mavs.
1694  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has no future as a payments network, says FTX chief on: May 25, 2022, 10:44:05 PM


The man is basing his comments with the way Bitcoin is in right now and yes we have to admit that as far as payments can be concerned Bitcoin is not what it is supposed to be and that is why many are questioning its viability on this aspect. Now, when we talk about payments maybe he can be referring to everyday small transactions because for big transactions like buying a car, a house or anything luxurious I think BTC has no problem in there. In case the challenges will never be addressed fully, then maybe we should be looking at Bitcoin really like a gold...and there is nothing wrong with that per se while still waiting for the appropriate infrastructure that can make BTC as good player in the payment industry.
Assumptions can be sometimes great and positive but most of the time it was wrong and turn into FUD. He can be wrong or not, that was his prediction and market view based on what he observed in the past until today. Well, for us who are too optimistic about Bitcoin will certainly oppose his idea but yes, he got some point that the volatility of Bitcoins makes it hard to know where it will be going. In fact, some big and growing countries still declining crypto. This could be a factor that makes him think about it.
1695  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should I buy BTC or DCA other coins? on: May 25, 2022, 10:06:41 PM
Since prices are down, I am going to spend some money for shopping. Not a lot, just what I can spend.
Now the question is, should I buy BTC (currently I don't have any BTC) or should I do DCA for ETH, SOL or DOT?
Now the reason I am asking this question is I have some of ETH, SOL and DOT, and I still consider that my ETH and DOT average prices are little bit higher, so DCAing would be nice option. But then, given that the I am little concerned what might happen to SOL and DOT in this phase of the market. Anyway, thanks. 
- You can do DCA as long as you are not on the losing side but I suggest just keeping ETH on your wallet. SOL/DOT to BTC
 - Or, just buy Bitcoin while the price is cheap and might consider buying some of Bitcoin for additional investment.

Well, nobody will forbid you from spending it as somehow just really it means to be considering that Bitcoin is also a form of currency.

In regards to SOL and DOT, we can expect a deep crash among altcoins and they don't have such escape about it. You can make a good trade if you just hold them.
1696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 25, 2022, 12:26:36 PM
But I believe that Donaire would correct those same mistakes he committed during their first encounter. Anyway, Donaire has spoken and these is his words:

Quote
“If Naoya thinks I'm still the same as in our first encounter, that’s wrong. I’m quite different as I can punch him from any angle in any position now. My skills and motivation have improved a lot. You’ll see.” Donaire told Fightnews.
https://sports.inquirer.net/464196/donaire-says-hes-improved-a-lot-heading-into-inoue-rematch
This shows that now Donaire is serious and considers this match not as easy as previously imagined.
This is clearly a real threat to Inoue because regardless of what Donaire indirectly emphasizes here that he is ready for this and this makes it seem as if a real threat to Inoue to be more leverage if you want the fight to be more exciting.
I like the statement of Donaire, looks like he is really serious with his goal of becoming the undisputed champion in the bantamweight divison, if he will win in this bout, he will be a unified champion and for sure will soon be an undisputed as only Inoue is the toughest opponent in this division.
1697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 25, 2022, 11:13:17 AM

For now, Golden State Warriors is the only team that is close to the championship.

Eastern Conferece Finals is tight and we don't know who will win there even by speculations and predictions.

And one notable thing, teams playing in the ECG right now are dealing with lots of injuries. Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, are playing healthy and it's not just the Splash Brothers that carry the team but there are role players who are stepping up for them. Regardless of who will be in the ECF, the Warriors do have a very big advantage.

Warriors also have suffered injury problems but not on their star players and they have lots of replacements that are ready to step up.
They don't have GPII anymore, and Otto Porter Jr. is also injured, but he will be back soon.

Their chance is good actually, the reason why they are the heavy favorites to win.

Gary Payton II's presence could bring a big help on the defensive strategy but now he's injured and cannot help the team, but his absence along with Otto Porter Jr. doesn't make the Warriors in the disadvantage side as they are still hard to beat and capable to dominate any team especially in their home and that's make them the heaviest favorite to win this season.


With how Wiggin stepping up for the Warriors, he's adding the pressure to any opponent that they will be facing, we see him doing good adjustment both with his offense and defense, With him and Green plus the splash bro and Poole the solid big 5 can beat any team inside this league. Though the series against the Mavs is still ongoing but the advantage is still with the Warriors,

they can close the series at home unless Mavs already finds the right adjustment to counter every attack of the Warriors.

Still, the Warriors have that good advantage to advance to the finals..

I'm not surprised that Warriors lose in game 4, at least the Mavs won one game because I'm pretty sure that the series will end in game 5. In game 5, I expect the Warriors to start strong and finish with a double digit win, so the odds now are very attractive, I'm taking the -7.5 as I believe it will be 10+ win by the Warriors.

Don't compare Bitcoin to Luna as it was here several years and was also noted for its credibility and it sustains despite many market downfalls that come. But Luna is a scam coin, while Bitcoin does not exist to have that kind of purpose. So I ask and encourage people to buy Bitcoin and stop worrying about the failure of other projects as it was another story.

Well, FUDs aren't new and people are already immuned hearing to such things. May these newbies got affected but these old-timers will simply just ignore them.

It is a well-planned trick. They just want to pretend that they are legit and trusted platforms in order to gain trust from the community and fall into their trap. It was found to be unusual before but for now, it was a common tactic that these scammers do.

When we want to do KYC, we must make sure that the site can take care of the personal identity of their members in a safe place and not abuse the identity because right now, we do not know if they have already become a target or still safe from the hacker.
The cryptocurrency market, if anything, can be noticed, but what is seen here is that there are many more that are used, but these are basically KYC is done mainly for the sake of security of the account, but if you come here and keep it, you will see that there will be no problem in your account, especially many types. There are exchangers that will be there. If they are used then there will be no risk. Transactions can be done very easily from here and all kinds of facilities can be found here.
The fact that they ask for KYC, means they are regulated, so simple common sense here, are the site willing to take the risk of violating the rules of not preserving our information if they will be charged by the regulators? I think no one would destroy their own business by doing the same, and this Bitsler has worked their way to be this popular now, so they will take care of their reputation.
