1741  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can I Recover my loss of crypto on this platform? on: June 29, 2023, 08:35:55 PM
Hay, I am New here and know about Bitcoin for the last few years but I lost many times in crypto trading. So my question is that how to trade Securely and profitably? And what are the rules and regulations for me that must follow this platform recommended some close ones will say you will learn from this platform so much and I hope to recover from the loss and get a lot of benefits and knowledge gain that is why I am very excited to hear.
With trading, that will not guarantee secured profits no matter how knowledgeable you are as everything will still depend on the market behavior and if you are trading against it, most likely you will find it hard to gain the profits you expected. But I still suggest to study the forum and gain various insights from it because once you are highly knowledgeable and even more skilled in trading, it will lessen the risk of losing as you are also learning from your different experiences when trading. And soon enough, you will have the chances to regain what you have lost as long as you stay learning in the market.

They require you to provide money if you’re interested in recovering your Bitcoin back.

That alone is already a sign that the platform is a scam. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, so it is highly unlikely that the funds can be recovered unless the recipient willingly returns the bitcoin to the sending address, which is unlikely to happen. Awareness is crucial, and with proper knowledge, it becomes easier to identify scam websites or platforms.

If they were truly legitimate, they might not require upfront payment. Instead, they could charge a certain percentage as a fee based on the amount they are able to recover. That would be a win-win situation for the clients.

Not only is it very good, but it's a must.

You need to be well knowledgeable when you plan to invest in crypto, as that's the best way to minimize the risk and have a good chance of being successful. One of the major reasons why people fail in investing is because they are "too greedy." They easily fall for fake advertisements about returns that are too good to be true. So, if you have the basic knowledge, you won't fall for that.

When it comes to investing, there's one basic rule that I always remember:

"When the return is too good to be true, that's a scam."
Scepticism is a great tool in the hands of an investor, because this help investor to have some restraint when it come to a noticeable red flag, such as you mentioned, because for a project to promise a certain amount of return it becomes a red point for an investor because no team have guaranteed to allocate a price to the coin and since coin value depends on the demands.

So what the investor needs in this knowledge that would guide him/her through the investment-making period and this is the greater
There would be no problem in looking for that guide as nowadays it's easy to educate ourselves with the help of the internet. What we need to do is be resourceful, read more, and join a community like Bitcointalk, where we can gain unbiased knowledge.

I like to think positive all the time, so I'm optimistic that the economies of the big countries will survive, and consequently, the poor countries will not be affected. Despite the economic challenges we are facing now, I have personally already felt the inflation in our country. However, I'm still surviving because I'm well aware of the current situation.

Now, since we are involved in crypto, we've seen a lot of ups and downs already. I believe as an investor, we are risk-takers, so we can always adjust to any situation.

- That the Russia - Ukraine war will not escalate into a European war

The war between these two countries is the worst in your list IMO, but look where we are now, still surviving, so there's nothing to worry.

1746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: June 26, 2023, 07:26:31 PM
My question is if this is just one of many marketing gimmick to make money or create awareness for a project they might be working on.

Who would win of course?

Can such a fight influence the crypto and stock market world majorly?

I also know bettings would be made for this, incase it goes down as reported. Who are you betting on?


Yea, instead of suing they should just fight it out like real men do in the ancient times. Remember the duels in ancient Rome? We already know who would win and that person isn't Elon Musk. He is way too unfit and too old to be in a caged fight with Mark Zuckerberg. Assuming this fight was real and was going to happen for real, I would say that whoever wins eventually should have their social media company or platforms declared the best by the judges. Well, this is on the side to  -  I think everyone should learn how to fight.

Having the social media on the line is quite too much, IMO. Especially in this fight where participants doesn't have the same resume and just like what you've said, Elon Musk got the slimmest chance to win compared to Mark Zuckerberg as other than the fact that he is the younger one, he also got some serious trainings on his resume. He might not have the villain face we expect but he got some skills over Elon Musk.

IMHO, it's much more realistic if they will have their own bets worth billions of dollars. Anyway, it's not yet guaranteed that this bout will happen.
1747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: June 26, 2023, 06:44:49 PM
I absolutely agree with you. Self-control plays a very important role and not only in gambling. I think the first thing you need to learn every gambler is to control your desires and money. Until I have not acquired these skills gambling led me several times to large losses. After I learned how to limit myself, I physically cannot lose more money than I originally expected.
Controlling our own ambitions, requirements, and desires, as well as developing a legitimate source of consistent income rather than settling for gambling. It's genuine, self-control comes first; it's all about us, what we need, how much time we need, and what stimulates us to want something. Limits oneself from participating in some gambling activities, and always avoid anything that will put one under pressure, because this alone sends a clear message that what we are doing is completely wrong, and it is not wise to continue any farther.

Only smart people may understand the mentioned factors to learn from their mistakes, not everyone is capable of holding these qualities as gambling is very addictive. Pressure is not something they can avoid since there are many psychological conditions that affect their mindset. It is hard to quit because of emotional damage to mental heath, the rest comes later.
Gambling is easy to quit if you have self-control over your gambling activities and you don't gamble often. You can quit because you have not made it as part of you,another way that one can easily quit is when you don't let yourself get carried away by your emotions. This will enable you not to think of chasing your loss.

It is very hard for an addict to quit gambling because he believes that he can win big tomorrow. Those that also think gamble is profitable will be carried away with this mindset and will never think of controlling  themselves over their gambling activities. Gradually, they will become addicted without even knowing that they are addict.

Correct. Making gambling activities as a past time or a habit will definitely make it hard for you to quit because other than gambling activities, you don't know any remedies on where would you blow off your steam after long days at work or when you're just bored as you are already accustomed in gambling in every free time you have. Don't take it wrong because it's not really a bad idea to choose gambling as a way to release some stress but don't do it in most occasions as that will pull you in their trap.
1748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 26, 2023, 05:58:13 PM
Not official, it could be just a rumor, but I heard that the Knicks is pursuing Zach Lavine? It says that the Bull are looking for young players and future draft picks and of course salaries as well.

So it might be Brunson, LaVine and then Randle for their own version of big 3. Bulls have been inconsistent in the last 2 seasons though, we thought that they might be a different version with the acquisition of DeRozan but it seem they have been plague with injuries.

I'm inclined if that will indeed happen because the Knicks duo is going to need another player to keep their stats working and so that the team will achieve much further than what they had in the last run plus I don't know why the New York Knicks were really silent in the draft night.

Anyway, regarding about that speculation. I've read that Zach Lavine is not interested with it, so it's a no-no.

Zach LaVine camp would be against a Knicks trade: source

Ok good, and maybe that rumor is not true at all, but who knows, there are some crazy trades that is going around.

As for the Ayton trade, yes it should be made, the guy obviously wanted out of the Phoenix Suns based on his performance and those who are critical about it. But in exchange of Tobias Harris? they are already loaded with scorers and shooters already, KD and Booker is already good for Phoenix now. They already let go of CP3, so they might at least get a good big man in exchange of Ayton and not another scorer. Bad decision for the management in this one and I think the Suns are going to be Nets 2.0.

Ayton trade is still possible as the franchise will not really hold him as a hostage if he really wishes to be trade into a specific team but considering the situation that they are in currently, the Phoenix Suns will not just let him go if they cannot get a decent big man because without a big man, KD and Booker cannot do their thing as their defense can be penetrated easily. Seriously not Tobias Harris.
1749  Economy / Economics / Re: Look for what to invest, not what to eat on: June 26, 2023, 05:34:01 PM
Many people think that when they have income and money they will continue to try to spend it for pleasure, they don't think about investments that can be a helper when bad things happen, and we have to be able to control all expenses and of course have to invest even with a small amount.
If we just follow lust then it will never end so it is necessary to create awareness for ourselves,
limit spending on important things and we also need to invest our money for the future,
who clearly manages it all is so important and needs to be done.

Other than that, we should not forget that the job we have right now is only temporary and it will not produce the money we need until the day we die. Having a primary source of income is already a tool to create and make another source of income but not everyone have the right mindset to do it because they are just too blind with the worldly things and so busy in keeping up with the trends which create holes in their pockets and hence the need of money again.
1750  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trade altcoins during the bull run or just hodl? on: June 26, 2023, 03:43:50 PM
I don't know how others look at it because it depends totally on the investor if he/she will choose to trade altcoins during the bull run or just hold until he/she want it. For me, investing and trading is a two different thing and I don't use the coins in my portfolio that is intended for investing and holding until my goal is achieved. While for trading, I do that separately because other than hodling, I also want to enjoy the profits and that's what I use to buy some things or sometimes, put the additional profits towards my portfolio.
1751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Jermall Charlo Super Middleweight (September 16) on: June 25, 2023, 10:04:11 PM
There is only one thing that can pause Canelo from being aggressive - his wrist isnt healed fully. He did not use his left much in a fight against Ryder. This time, perhaps he is going to give his hand another test before a bigger fight (I hope so). But, like Ive said, Canelo has trapped himself into being one of the beat. No matter who he fights in middleweight, everyone see his opponent as an underdog. That is why he needs to go up in division.

This fight will present another challenge to Canelo's wrist but I'm thinking that he will carry this disadvantage throughout the end of his career because somehow, we can assume that he's already at sundown plus there's a wear and tear that will be a factor in the healing process of Canelo's wrist as he's also aging already.

It could be a big factor as you have said, his wrist might not have been fully healed or they rushed things up so that they can set up a fight with Ryder. Unfortunately, the result is not good for the boxing fans, although Canelo wins.

We all know that Charlo is not a pushover either even if he was inactive for almost two years because during his good years, he was a very impressive boxer in his division.

Yes, but the ring rust though, it's two years plus it is reported that Charlo has a mental problem and that's why he was laying off for a long time. I think it will definitely affect him and then he should also need to get back in shape and add 8 lbs on his frame.

Needless to say, both boxers have their own disadvantages and problems that makes the win quite blurry as of the moment, and I can say that it is going to be a tough fight for both boxers because of that. Moreover, I see no advantage about this fight either except for Canelo's evident factor that he will get some help once the fight goes to the judge's hand mainly if the fight seems too tight.
1752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 25, 2023, 08:42:44 PM
Am I already seeing ads for a KSI vs Jake Paul fight in October? Has the promotion for the Nate Diaz fight gone so poorly that they’re already moving on to trying to build up the next fight? Feels like the influencer boxing scene is dying rather quickly. Maybe Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg will end up being the last ridiculous fight that marks the shark has been jumped.

I think so too. The Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight might be a no go that's why we are now seeing some rumors surfacing about that KSI vs Jake Paul fight as even after promoting the Paul-Diaz fight, there are no signs that people are interested in it. Eddie Hearn even said that it's a no brainer fight as it's clearly a mismatch because it is not the comfort ground of Nate plus Hearn added that the 10-round fight will go as far as four rounds before Nate will be KOd.

Dana White is certain that he can make it work in the UFC itself, octagon.
I saw a post that Dana said that both are seriously really into it. This is gonna be more hype than anybody's fight and likely will be the fight of the year.

I am not sure while these two are into this. Aren't they just bored and want to do some fight and I think I firstly heard this from Elon but not with Mark.

Anyway, it's interesting on how these two known personalities are gonna have fun while the public looks at them that they're like crazy bored rich folks.

Yes, saw that article as well. Dana White himself even claimed that other than the fact that this fight will turn into reality as both participants are really inclined to fight each other which is something interesting as I think this will be the first time that businessmen are taking their business inside an octagon or ring, it will be a much bigger fight than McGregor vs Mayweather and might be the biggest fight of the century.

Now, the poster has been made already and it will happen inside the octagon and will take place in Las Vegas. The question now is the time and date of this fight.
1754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 25, 2023, 04:33:41 PM
He has already declined an offer and I think if he'll negotiate with that, he have already done but he's probably going somewhere else and that's what his heart is telling him.

But for sure that the Warriors are open for him to comeback and alter his decision about the decline that he has made.
He had a wish and his thoughts were different from everyone's expectations so turning down the offer was his heart's decision.
After all, accepting an offer in a team when he has no intention or compulsorily accepting will also never give good results in the future.
There may be other options but we don't know which one he will choose later.

Yes, the Warriors are always open for him to come back at any time and this is a tough decision whether to return for the Warriors or follow his heart.

But I don't think that the Warriors will give him the same digits though if Draymond Green wishes to come back and wear the same jersey because after all, NBA is a business, and the franchise will always look for an option so that somehow, they can save even a bit from their player's contracts. As of now, there are no speculations about Green's future plans like whether he'll be back or not but I'm thinking that his agent might've talked to some teams already that could give them what they wanted.
1755  Economy / Speculation / Re: What happens next if Bitcoin drops to zero? on: June 25, 2023, 06:18:57 AM
No one can predict the future of Bitcoin with certainty. However, the possibility of Bitcoin falling to zero at this point and the next few years is considered very unlikely. Bitcoin has a large market capitalization, and growing popularity, and is supported by a strong network and community. Therefore, given the current popularity and use of Bitcoin, it is likely that its value will increase drastically in the future.
The fact that it's already regulated means it will not easily drop to zero. The good thing about Bitcoin, which ensures its longevity for years to come, is that it's not only a good investment but also relies on supply and demand.

As we can see, it's already accepted in many countries around the world. Of course, there are some countries that have banned Bitcoin, but with more and more people embracing it, we can truly enjoy its purpose. This would result in investors enjoying its benefits as well, since the more they hold, the more the value will increase due to a fixed market supply.
1756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - June 17 on: June 24, 2023, 01:43:23 PM
Well, Eddie Hearn is a huge boxing fan himself and is probably the biggest promoter right now and is a master in the business with superstars Canelo, AJ, and fighters from other promoters that fight in DAZN except GBP which has its own exclusive contract with the network. His 500k-600k is a good estimate and is already a big success given these economic hard times.

This fight though has real potential of breaking a million PPV buys. I also believe that tickets will be sold out quickly. So far PBC has named Pitbull Cruz battling against Giovanni Cabrera in the undercards probably to get the huge Latino boxing community.

In terms of the live gate's tickets, there is no question at all that it will be sold out quickly just like what Garcia vs Davis fight did or pretty much faster than that because we have to include the fact that there will be some businessmen who are having some business in gaining these tickets as fast as possible so that they can sell it in a much higher price. But when it comes to PPV buys, I doubt that they can break a million of it because the world is getting modern each day and big fights like this are almost shown for free in some sources like Facebook live or even YouTube because they are seeking the viewers as well in-exchange for some voluntary amounts to watch the fight live.

As far as Eddie Hearn, he says that PBC, Top Rank and Golden Boy doesn't want him promoting in the US.

As for the PPV buys, I do agree, I don't see the fight getting or breaking the 1 million PPV buys, not a hater but they will be lucky to get 500,000 PPV. Still the king of PPV for this year is Ryan Garcia vs Tank Davis.

Live gates must be different though, it could be sold out by now and only premium tickets might be available.

Were we expecting the Garcia vs. Davis fight to reach at least 1 million PPV buys? I believe the expectation was around 500k, give or take. Therefore, I think the Spence and Crawford fight is somewhat undervalued. It's possible that we might be surprised if they surpass the 1.2 million PPV buys of the Garcia vs. Davis fight.

I bet they only had some speculations about what would be the PPV buys but I'm somehow confident that they aren't expecting any actual range as they also knew the factors surrounding it.

What they did was they rented a much bigger venue which was the T-Mobile Arena to ensure that they could take advantage of the fact while the fight was anticipated by many and bring a much bigger profits to their pockets.
1757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Jermall Charlo Super Middleweight (September 16) on: June 24, 2023, 10:38:40 AM
That is not the fight boxing fans expect, that is the fight Canelo fans expect. They dont care who his opponent is, all they care is another +1 in his record. I highly doubt that Charlo has been training secretly for last two years and invented a new hidden punch. Canelo needs this fight to have a dominating win after a loss to Bivol. He tried to recover reputation with Ryder, but he gave him a proper fight.

If this fight happens like 3 years ago, then maybe Charlo have a chance, but it's slim with his version though. He might be doing some light trainings during the time that he is out, but I guess it's not enough to beat a version of Canelo, although we have seen Canelo declining like in the Ryder right.

Charlo though is the real winner because Canelo chooses PBC now, imagine being inactive but then again, since he was maybe a favorite of Al Haymon, he was given a chance to fight the cash cow, so money for him is on the table and maybe if he lost here, then go back to his semi retirement.

I guess both boxers don't have anything to lose especially Canelo as it will be not his first time to lose in a fight but it's kind of questionable if it will happen because the fight will be contested at super-middle where he practically owns the division. While Charlo here, don't know what's up with him for choosing Canelo in his return, but just like Canelo, he doesn't have anything to lose because his days are considered over already as two years is quite a long time.

Let's go for ELON.

Why ELON ? because we are going to all-in on the bulk ~XD Just joking, but hoping these are happening. Mark need a lot progress, especially to gain more weigh if there has some plan event fighting in the cage ~XD

But, I know is only a joke.

We never know for sure because at first, I didn't even expect that these two will actually call for a fight after having a few back-and-forth statements on social media. Point is, let's expect the unexpected because it's a win-win situation for us Grin

Anyway, at least Elon Musk seems serious about their upcoming fight with Mark Zuckerberg and even called for Joe Rogan.

Personally, i changed my mind and will now bet for the Japanese as the percentage of him winning got higher with this news of Franco not making the weight.

What would be the penalty for him not making weight? Can he still make the fight happen? I was thinking if a boxer does not make it to the weigh-in, that would result in disqualification. Maybe my knowledge is not correct.

Depends on the situation because there are some cases that a boxer will be given at least a few couple of hours to finalize their weight and eventually, they are able sunk their body according to the needed weight and will able to continue the fight.

But in some cases, boxer's aren't given the same chance and will just have to fight each other for the sake of their fan bases that paid to watch them especially if they were the finale. Just like what happened to Shakur Stevenson before he climbed the next weight class.

Not really surprised that Smart was the first one to be traded since he's the most expendable of the trio but never imagined KP to be there. He'll have less playing time for sure unless he'll be their main center which I doubt. I think Celtics is taking too much risk by changing a lot of the team dynamics.

Of course, KP will be the main center. He is still a big star and a huge problem for its rival teams. Personally, I am liking the big shake-up the Celtics are doing. Over the years they really have the real potential of becoming champions but they only made it into the finals once. KP might change the usual Celtics plays but the center can provide a big boost of offense, especially during the times when Tatum and Brown turn cold. And it is time for a change after its failed 2022-23 season.

The Celtics are still looking very strong provided they can stay healthy next season. Horford is an important piece but he is aging and the team will limit his minutes but he will be utilized during the playoffs.

Yes, KP will get the same role and it is very reason why the Celtics get him and sacrificed Marcus Smart. We know neither of the present roster right now is much more capable to protect the rim other than KP, Williams III is not that dominant and especially not Al Horford either. So, with these new changes, the Celtics are looking forward to make some difference again by changing the line-up they had.
