1701  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Extremely Holding on: February 08, 2023, 11:24:17 PM
If this isn't some extreme form of holding, I wonder what it is then. According to the Twitter handle of Bitcoin Archive, 412Bitcoin worth $9.6m was moved from an address that was dormant for 11years. That means the owner just bought and "forgot" it there. While for some of us who have been holding for the past 3 months, it's seems like a century.This is gentle nudge that if someone has done it then you can(that is, if this is your goal).
How long do you think you can hold?


If that is true (which I don't want to believe), that person is one of those early investors who never think the future of Bitcoin to become today. And in this case, no way he was able to recover it once he lost access to the said wallet but being a responsible investor should always back up everything like passwords or keys. Not that I called it "extreme holding" but I was negligent.

It was a crazy amount and you really become disappointed if never get it but that really happens if we are too careless.
Anyways, that was in the past days when we really don't care about the value of Bitcoin but for now, everyone already has an idea of how to keep their password or keys so this won't happen unless they get hacked.

I'd never find it wrong to invest in new project/s as long as it shows something interesting and market potential. But there is one thing that would tell you, please be careful in the project that you have mentioned, better to do deep research before making a decision.

We can only give you advice because this is what we also did but it was you who could decide. Don't be afraid to try, might you fail because of investing in a scam or project but I believe this could give you a lesson as well.
1703  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can I invest my 60% savings in Bitcoin? on: February 08, 2023, 01:00:19 PM
It's a good idea if we can save about 60% of salary to invest bitcoin, I'm sure the trend of bitcoin will continue to improve so that one day it will be very valuable, the number of global users continues to increase so that the demand for bitcoin also increases, many countries have banned bitcoin but can't stop it bitcoin performance, it's time for us to dare to invest in bitcoin and 60% is an appropriate value.
I will agree if that said amount is still okay for you to lose them all. But if not, we better change that decision and give what is really the amount that we can afford to lose. I would tell you that investing in Bitcoin is not all about "the amount we purchase or capital, but it also matters if we can sell them at a good price".
Because what I did is that I only invest the extra money I have. I don't force myself to provide and risk 60% of my salary for a risky investment. We also know our limitations and priorities.
1704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Nonito Donaire vs Jason Moloney on: February 08, 2023, 08:57:03 AM
Let see for another update regarding to a vacant belt that Inoue left after deciding to move up to another division, still possible that a fight for Donaire can happen before ending his career or retiring his gloves.
Right, but I'm expecting to see a fight from him this year. He might retire soon so at least he will be able to have more fights before that will happen. It's still too early, who knows, weeks from now we will see in the news that Donaire is up for another opponent for a title fight.

For the meantime, we might here a new name that will be paired for him since the fight that supposedly
against Maloney was already been cancelled.
As long as it's not official, let us not expect too much as you know, this Donaire vs Moloney was canceled and we thought it was already official.
1705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 08, 2023, 07:56:11 AM
It was done in front of the Lakers' crowd. LeBron breaks Kareem's all-time leading scorer, nothing to say but to congratulate him and all those who support him from the beginning of his career.

Amazing standing ovation for the king, he truly deserves the praise, a good example of an athlete
who dedicate not just his skills but more on how to be a good example in maintaining your physical
health.

He was on a mission to break the record of Kareem, he even break that in the 3rd quarter, just too early as I thought he'll make it in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately, the Lakers may be too overwhelmed by the success of Lebron that they forgot how to defend, yes, they lose in this game too.

Lebron just needs the 1st 3 quarters to achieve greatness, in the 4th quarter, he only scored few points so that does not really help at all. They have to remember that they need to win more to improve their chance in the playoffs because if they will not make it to the playoffs this season, it will not help Lebron's legacy. I mean, people will be thinking that he is good on individual talent but not so good in carrying a team despite he has formed a super team.
1706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 07, 2023, 11:22:06 AM
Valid thoughts, possibly that he has really done it on purpose and the timing was perfect. He's known for that whenever there were some issues before about him.
Instead of the potential history that Lebron is about to make, he's become the talk first before that happens. Possible also that it's just mere coincidence but as we all know, everything and the timing was totally perfect.

I do know and am well aware that Kyrie Irving does really have an unusual character since then and does crazy things unexpectedly out of the blue, and even has a toxic attitude to everybody, with no expectation, but your guesses are maybe too much and really insane to think.

Asking trade just to try not to be overshadowed in the news because of Lebron James' hype in breaking a big record this week? That was funny to think. Grin

It's not even a coincidence. It's just that it happened simply. No need to overthink that.
That's just an assumption and it's timely to think of but yeah, let's just spare that moment for him and Lebron as both are having their own highlights for this season.
Anyway, I'm seeing a lot of memes about Kyrie on what he has said during his early days in the Nets that he won't leave 7. It's just a meme and we know change is constant but those were really funny ones.

Kyrie just love to move in different teams, well, he has that liberty because he is really good, and just like what happened, even the Lakers are trying to join the trade but the Nets ask too much for them so they cannot get Irving. Now that he is on his new team, even if he'll promise that he will retire being a Mavericks player, we should not expect that, and that would also help the fans so they'll not be hurt enough once Irving will leave.

If Irving will renew his contract with the Dallas Mavericks, then he might likely stay for a while.

Their new import, Wayne Selden Jr. just came in into our league and he will face the Ginebra immediately. Cheesy.

Currently no odds on Stake still but, I might bet on Converge and NLEX to win on this one. Smiley

I would not bet on NLEX at this game, they might be having some chemistry issues, and Ginebra is also a good team, so I'll just observe first, maybe I'll be taking the Ginebra in live betting if the spread is high.

By the way, here's the resume of their new import, he played in the NBA for four seasons, so this guy is surely a good competitor.
 
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/seldewa01.html


Actually betting odds are already up, they are +5.5 against the Ginebra San Miguel. I think the odds sounds fair because Ginebra is a good team and NLEX has a new import that has to blend well with the team yet, so I would ride the Ginebra pick, besides, they are not good in covering the spread.

I agree with that, we are talking of the Ginebra SMB here, a very consistent import and a locals that are full of superstars. Yes, that -5.5 will certainly be covered as long as Ginebra will win, they had struggle a bit against the ROS but in the 4th quarter they know have to win through their big run.

Also, the crowd will be into it, they'll be supporting the Gin Kings so they'll continue to play like a champion.

By the way, will LA return in this game? I saw he did not dress against ROS.
1708  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fake paid promotions on Twitter on: February 07, 2023, 08:44:39 AM
It was sad to say but I feel that the worsening scenario in social media and even can't be trusted. Might not all but the majority we found of these social media platforms are full of lies and assumptions which only become a reason why people distrust or ruin someone's life.

We thought that social media is medium to spread the right information but now, it was a medium used to scam people.
If this is only what we got from them, I'd rather uninstall this app because it was useless if this will lead us to lose our money.
1709  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: beginner in Crypto on: February 07, 2023, 08:14:32 AM
As a beginner in Crypto with a limited budget would you recommend purchasing the lower priced NFT's?
I tell you that many investors had lost their money due to the wrong choice of projects to invest in. Many people think investing in a coin without potential will make them profitable. I have that kind of mistake before, I bought some coins (shitcoins now) with low volume and cheap price but was never given the chance to sell them at least I could get my capital and I lose.

If you are aiming for a profit OP a reason why you are here - I'd tell you that better choose valuable coins than cheap NFT (or any coins) as it will give you some profit assurance. In fact, you can apply DCA strategy if your funds is small rather than spending your $100 to nothing.
1710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tip and Tricks about when to buy or when to sell? on: February 06, 2023, 09:52:24 PM
Hello,
I know that trading requires knowledge, but any tricks for newbies about when to buy or sell? For example, looking at the volume, looking at the queue for buying and selling and etc.
Sorry if my question is not a good question.


Thank you.
This is the way I applied when buying/trading coins and I hope this could help you.
 - volume trade
 - exchanges (must be trusted)
 - time of accumulation or buying (low price)

And it is very important that you know how to analyze the trend of that particular coin before buying like checking on the previous day's performance. You can't just buy a coin because it drops today but some possibilities that it was till high compared to the past days. This is also a think to consider.
1711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Nonito Donaire vs Jason Moloney on: February 06, 2023, 11:46:28 AM
Yes, there's only two options but there's still no guarantees about it even if the chances are higher that Donaire will hang his gloves if he will prevail in this fight and will be a world champion once again. Why? That would be a good exit for him rather than retiring after having a defeat and certainly, Inoue won't be a factor for that because he can still do a good job in the ring especially now that the biggest threat already climbed up.
That's the thought that most fans are having right now. With the last fight that he's got with Inoue, it's hard to extract that result for the retirement that might had planned.
But, as long as there's still some vacant title and he will no longer be fighting Inoue since it's proven that he's having a hard time against him, then he'll take chances no matter and whoever will be the next opponent he'll be required to fight.
They are lucky that Inoue decided to move up, otherwise, this division will be owned by Inoue as long as he stays active. Well, this is Donaire's chance to prove that he still has the capability of becoming a champion, I mean he is old if we based on his age, but who are we to judge him when he still think he can still go toe to toe against younger boxers.
1712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: February 06, 2023, 11:20:29 AM
This is a big fight for Inoue, and we can assure he will not underestimate Fulton, and he will also assure us an entertaining fight if Fulton will dance with him well in the ring.

In fairness to Naoya Inoue, no such behavior on him taking his fights lightly.

He never underestimates his opponents and in fact, his Knock Out rate is proof that he is serious in his fights regardless of the status of his opponents. Chasing more titles, Inoue is surely the most aggressive fighter here compare to Fulton that has already had several plans in line prior to Inoue moving up so he decided to change plans and choose to fight Inoue first.

Inoue also mentioned in an interview that Fulton so far is the biggest challenge in his career therefore expect the Japanese monster to go all-out on this match.

I would, Inoue will surely make sure he'll be very aggressive and win a KO, so it's very important that Fulton is prepared for that as I have a feeling that this fight will not go to distance. Inoue will have a championship fight, he is not new to this kind of situation, and he still is the better fighter compared to Fulton, so fans are cheering for him to win.
1713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin adoption growing stronger everyday on: February 05, 2023, 09:49:46 PM
It is just to note that digitalization is growing which brings crypto adoptions suitable for it. Bitcoins had somehow given a comfortable way of paying bills and any payments which is a reason why people are also encouraged to use them. But many establishments and merchants are not fully ready yet to accept and give this option, they still need time and of course, they need more knowledge about the process as well. But slowly it gains more interest to them and sooner they will open for such payment option.
1714  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Shiba inu get to $1 on: February 03, 2023, 09:12:42 PM
Can shiba inu ever get to $1 in the next bull run or more years to come??,  though nothing is impossible, but i don't think it can get there,
And is the project still good to invest in?
Then I will go straight - it is very impossible if they keep all of their total supply but it can be changed if they cut a big chunk of it. However, it was not the only solution but also they need to encourage investors to change their views against meme coins otherwise there still nothing happens.
Shiba Inu is one of the known meme coins that draw attention during the bull season and many investors invest in this during the hype but they still leave because of the condition of this project - this will happen when investors don't consider it as for long-term investment and the price will drop.
1715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Charitable Casinos on: February 03, 2023, 02:23:48 PM
Building this idea is somewhat unusual than those charity programs that we normally hear like asking for some donations. Such a unique way but seems it looks interesting as it gives us time to gamble before giving our money to the charity. It is not a direct ask for donations but we know that is something like that but at least we enjoy it.
This is really a brilliant idea and I support this. As long as the creator of this project is true and can be trusted, I believe there are a lot of gamblers who are willing to give their extra money.
1716  Economy / Economics / Re: Is taking a loan/debt addicted ? on: February 03, 2023, 01:13:46 PM
if we have a debt and instead borrow again from another party to pay it off, it is tantamount to endless. In my opinion, if we have debt it's better to focus on paying off the debt without having to borrow again from other people, we can find additional income without borrowing again from other people. if you continue to borrow from others it will be difficult to pay it off, like a chain that is always connected, it is difficult to find its end
Well, borrowing money is too easy but paying it back is somewhat hard. That is why we could say that it can be an endless debt. But it seems to happen if we are not financially educated because many people think that borrowing money is a solution to pay for other debts and it is coming back again and again.

However, I would say committing debts is not wrong provided that it was not too much that we can't repay without borrowing from another person. And a reason why we should think about it multiple times become applying for a loan otherwise, it compromises our finances for the whole life.
1717  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What makes a crypto project reliable and trustworthy ? on: February 03, 2023, 12:32:02 PM
Bitcoin is the King of cryptocurrency and most altcoins are way less qualified in terms of credibility, fanbase, high returns with minimal risks etc. I am trying my best to analyze altcoin projects but the results are not pleasant. What makes an altcoin really trustworthy ? And why ? Please let me know your opinions.                                                                                                        
I hope we could be a part of the making of the project and let us speak or assess their projects before launching so we can assure that it can be trusted. But unfortunately, it was not like that, they have their own agenda and the credibility of the said projects certainly lies in the hands of the developers. We wanted to change how it works but that seems impossible. It is just to say that the only thing we can do for now in order to avoid investing in scam projects is to stay away from hyped projects and those who have no working products.
1718  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The patience to hold is a gift on: February 03, 2023, 11:53:55 AM
Not everyone has the ability to buy and hold a coin for a long time. There are many who buy and hold various coins. But whenever the value of that coin goes down a bit, those people get excited and worry so much that they sell some of them when the market is bad. I think it's totally worthless because buying coins at higher prices and selling them during lower prices has no value. At that time we forget that the market not only goes up but also goes down.
Well, there are several types of crypto investors
 a. long-term investors
 b. short-term investors
 c. undecided investors

I could see that these undecided investors have full of uncertainties and are very prone to changing their decision depending on the market situation.
Of course, I understand their stance during price correction but I see it was not good at all if we keep that kind of thinking. We know the volatility of the market, being too emotional couldn't warrant profit but instead losses.
1719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Nonito Donaire vs Jason Moloney on: February 03, 2023, 11:00:16 AM

I'm not sure though if Donaire is thinking retirement, I never heard from him telling the public about his plans. Even after Inoue knock him out, he still want to chase greatness at 115 lbs against Estrada, but now he chance his plans.

He still wants to fight, but I believe he mentioned that he wants to retire as a champion, so he would like to get a belt again, and with what happened. I don't know anymore if Donaire can still have a championship fight soon, seems like the chance is not fair for older fighters nowadays.

Quote
Perhaps we should give him like 2-3 years to fight or less than that before he thinks of hanging his gloves for good.

But right now, the opportunity is there so why not take it.

But he cannot wait longer, he needs to be active to have more fights and to test himself if he still can dominate in this division.

I haven't seen a boxer who quit on top though, I mean if he becomes a champion again, I doubt he will just say's no I don't want to fight again. So obviously, it's up to the result of his next fight, whether it will be against someone like Rodriguez or Gaballo.

2-3 years might be quite long enough for his career, he is already 40 years old, and once a fighter reaches that age, sooner or later his body will be very different because of the effect, the wear and tear of being in this business for many years.

You are right, there's a lot of opportunity when you are a champion, so why would a boxer retire? It doesn't make sense, if he does really say it, then I think he has a different mindset, he values his achievement more than the money he will potentially get in future fights. Of course, there are boxers who retires during their peak, just like Mayweather.
1720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 03, 2023, 10:35:46 AM
Still in awe that "The Process" Joel Embiid was only on reserves this year when we see his stats they really are fine tbh. I think it all comes to voting too and yes there are lot of snubs again this time, this isn't the first time too that this happen. For me, Ja Morant should have been a starter considering he's a crowd favorite and could entertain them, I wonder why he's a reserve.

He just needs to be thankful because, unlike the others that have not even been there are now getting frustrated and they even posted about it on the internet like James Harden. What they can do anyway, is what the fans want and they are paying for the ticket, so they wanted to see their favorite players instead of those who are old star players that haven't been winning the championship all these years. They should not be having high pride in these fans' decisions and the best thing to do is support the all-star games so they will become memorable not only for them but also for the fans.

We have to respect the result because it's not only based on the fans' votes, there are a lot of factors that are being considered. What if he is just a reserve? he knows that he is good, and if he will play well, then most likely he will get heavier minutes.
