Market will always be fluctuating so that we should never stress, rest assured that the market will soon improve and today it is proven because it rises more than 8%, I'm sure there will be many who say regret when we don't buy at prices below $ 20k, but if we have money then then Immediately buy even though it's now $ 20700, I'm sure in September it can reach at least $ 25K.
Yes, anyone expecting this recovery so quick that it went to $20,700? So what is next $22k before we can say that we are out of the lower lows for this year?

And what is the news that brought the market to bounce back again?

So it's becoming interesting again for this month, I have to check my analysis again as it is obviously invalidated because the price I'm looking is at $19,700 to trigger another run and that's what is happening right now.

We already broke that price and yes the next leg up is $22k. So far there are a lot of resistance in the $21,700-$22,800 zone and it might project that we are in the overbought zone already because of the massive buys in the last 2 days. But we will see what is going to happen this weekend. Usually it should be fairly quite but sometimes traders keeps themselves busy this weekend. And if that happens, then we might see another attempt to $22k but we don't know if we will be successful or not, 10% increase is already good in the market.

If only Ramirez will take advantage of his height and reach against Bivol. But then again, Bivol has a good ring IQ so it may have even it up or Bivol will have the slight advantage because of his footwork.

We cannot really know for sure because Ramirez is also an experienced boxer professionally and already fought boxers in his size in 3 different divisions so I think that will give him some good ring IQ somehow too. I'm not pro-Zurdo either but we can't really underestimate him and Bivol should be more careful this time, and expect that Zurdo will use his advantages.

Both are experienced boxers so that nullifies the advantage of it.  Ramirez may have the height advantage and may use it to move around the ring avoiding Bivol's charges, but Bivol's move in cutting the ring will be found as one of important factors of the fight.

Aside from that Ramirez punches aren't that quick/fast and can be easily seen when released, they may be powerful enough to KO Bivol but it won't do anything if they can be blocked or evaded.  If Bivol will not get careless on this fight, I think Bivol might end up victorious in the upcoming fight.

I guess there is only one way to find that out, for me, I'll give Zurdo a benefit of the doubt as he also have what it takes to earn his name in this division and might go after Beterbiev if he will be successful in stripping Bivol his belt. But as you said, I cannot also take away the fact that Bivol is truly more agile than Zurdo and that alone might do the trick in outperforming Zurdo.

And that could be the biggest drawback for Zurdo, he is too big and more so, he might be a bit slower that Bivol. and we have witnessed Bivol's movement, he is fast in his feet and knows how to cut the ring.

And in the beginning, it seems that we are not giving Zurdo a chance, although he is undefeated. But maybe he will have few surprises for Bivol to make this fight very close.

^^ I think it can be made, previously, this two is no name as far as fans is concern because of their division. But they have dominated it even before the pandemic. and when Bivol won, for sure boxing fans saw what a LHW can do, I mean his performance is a thing of beauty against the best pound for pound. So if DAZN and ESPN saw that there is a demand, maybe it's about time that they sit down and take about this fight in the future.

Dear community I have researched almost % of people's stepping towards crypto without any proper training and attention and losing their money for greedy mind...
Why peoples are not attention to Skills (e-commerce, freelancing)
Wanna suggest a little bit of your time to spend in learning skills and improve your mind strength+💰🤑

Maybe for some of us, this is not our main job, perhaps there are individuals here who are student, works a regular 9-5 jobs that's why they step on crypto without proper training because they lack time.

And again, in the pandemic, we might find a set of skills like in freelancing that we can make money. So no one can devote 100% of their time in crypto market to learn trading and it's better to just buy and hold in the long term.

Destroying a mobile or not having internet access, will make the gambler even more crazy, if he finds someone else's mobile phone on a relative, he will definitely use it. The case above is same as the case of my friend, unfortunately until now he is sickly if he doesn't gambling. The solution for this is appeals from within the family and people around, if he is locked up in a outlying place I doubt he will live, need a long time to recover ! But it depends on how severe the addiction.

But I think that is a good place to start, withdrawal, without any phone besides you because it's the thing that tick your addiction. And again, it's the mindset of the individual, if he wanted to stop his addiction then the person will distant himself to any phone around him. I think it's not just the addiction that needs to be tackle here, but the easy access of any casino's and gambling around with just a touch of your mobile phones.

Was surprised that they don't even respect the death of the Queen by creating a lot of meme in her name.

Nevertheless, it's obvious that they will be another avenue for those pumpers and manipulators. So the best thing to do is to stay away from this kind of project and let it die. We have a lot of meme coins already, no need to add more. Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth.
1767  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Cryptocurrencies Change the View of the Game Industry in the Future on: September 08, 2022, 09:06:28 AM
Yes. There are two reasons behind this.

I've played axie Infinity and Thetan Arena both of these were very dull games, after playing I realized that these are not play-to-earn. but bore to earn games.

Second, their economic models are not sustainable. They always need new players so that they come and buy tokens/nfts from old players and start playing the game.

But I wonder what happens when a large number of people lose interest in the game and if new players also stop coming, then who'll buy their tokens earned by old players.

Yes, I agree with the economic model are not sustainable. Maybe it was not designed to be a boring game, but sooner or later players will have to look something that excites them and this games have none. Also, as you mentioned, there might be a time that no new players are going to come in the space, so no one will buy the tokens and the game might die a natural dead because of framework. Axie now is one example of this, it is slowly losing the grip already as players are moving to new games.
1768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 08, 2022, 08:26:14 AM
It is indeed a ticket for his rematch if ever he will decide to move up for another try, Bivol though got his own upcoming fight and we don't know what will happen, though personally I can say that with his amazing skills he can win that fight, we witness his quickness and good counter each time Canelo attempts to box him.

A rematch could happen with Bivol but Canelo's camp are just smart enough to build a hype before the rematch. And you are right, what if upset will happen? Then Canelo's popularity will be affected and most likely we will see a GGG vs Bivol, and IMO it's gonna be a great and exciting fight.

I don't think that Bivol vs GGG will happen even if he wins against Canelo in their fight. He will be too small at light heavyweight He is a career 160 lbs and this just the first or the second time that he will step up to 168 lbs, Canelo's best weight. So I think win or lose in here, Alvarez will fight Bivol and I think there will still be hype for this match even if the cash cow lost to GGG.
1769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 08, 2022, 01:58:38 AM
I’m not sure I like the Hornets signing Montrez Harrell. I feel like he got his bag when he left the Clippers and hasn’t been the same since. I don’t suspect any team that signs him is going to get their money’s worth. I don’t think he’s a good pairing with their young run and gun squad either. I guess we’ll see how it goes, but I feel like it won’t go well.
Signing with the Hornets or the Sixers? It's the latter that I'm reading.

It's $5.2 Million for two years with a player option for a 28-year-old center. I don't think that's a bad deal for any team since he can still be useful in player rotations. The Sixers probably thinks he could give Embiid more minutes to rest while he's on the floor. Maybe they're hoping a double-double or close to it for 20 minutes?
It was in the Sixers where he signed and maybe there is a bit of mistake with that post.
https://www.nba.com/news/montrezl-harrell-signs-philadelphia-sixers

After giving Drummond to the Nets in the Harden-Simmons trade, the Sixers really lacked a big at that time and it was Embiid who was their reliable big. Now they are starting to acquire bigs like DeAndre Jordan and now they also got Harrell who isn't tall for a big TBH but a good defender and a former 6th man of the year when he was in Clippers. His stint with the Lakers was the reason why his efficiency went down drastically but I think he can still contribute more to the team knowing how he played when he was in the Clippers. It's a good sign to the Sixers as Embiid will play less minutes.

I think this is a solid signing for the sixers.  Will give them an extra added toughness down low, and a real good veteran at a good price.  Sometimes these signings look unsuspecting in September but come the season it ends up being the piece they needed all along.  Sixers aren't too far off.

Of course, any team that he can go he will add toughness inside, but then again, he is undersized for a center so not sure if he will also be a good fit.

But if the price is good then why not? Specially if Joel gets injured early, as least they have someone to cover him in that position even if he is not that tall to bang with the true centers in the league.
1770  Economy / Speculation / Re: All Eyes On Bitcoin’s Monthly Close on: September 08, 2022, 12:06:38 AM
I think all eyes will be on sept 13th which is significant because it’s when the ETH merge happens and when the CPI is released.

Oh, I thought that it is going to happen on Sept 6. That's why I was surprised to see the damage on the price near the ETH merge but I was wrong with the date. Although the market has bounce back to the $19k'ish and maybe on the 13th we may see some pump in the whole crypto because of the said merge.

The CPI is important because if we get a low number then we will rally hard. If we get something high like 1% again then we will dump hard since it means more rate hikes.

I agree, whenever the monthly CPI is released the market reactive positive or negative, just like the rest of other traditional markets. So this is again very important to watch.

My question is; Why then do people talk about Bitcoin mining power consumption like it is the most and worst energy consumer?

It's because they have to find someone to blame for what is happening to the world, for instance global warming, And it just so happen that bitcoin mining is the latest technology that disrupted everything from financial to environment to green house effect. They can't put everyone on banks for consuming so much energy because it's the bloodline of every government and economy around the world. So the best culprit - Bitcoin Mining.
1772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [NEWS] Gambler Charged with Murder after Letting Kids Die on: September 07, 2022, 09:20:17 AM
I don’t fully understand the news so correct me if I’m wrong. The mother leave his kids on the car without AC turn on that result to suffocation due to the heat?
Yes, the mother leaves those children on the car and yes, AC is probably off too since it's not recommended to turn the engine on and the AC for several hours assuming the mother leaves the children for several hours.

Unfortunately, every year there is some news like that in my country. People who leave their children in the car in the summer in the sun, going shopping or whatever, and because of the overheating of the sun and the fact that young children are more vulnerable, they end up dying.

This is the first time I've seen it related to gambling, though, that the mother had gone to the casino. It's a mixture of irresponsibility and not being aware of the possible consequences.

Yes, from time to time, we will see this sort of news about irresponsible parents leaving their children on car, if not children, their pets and then they come back to find out that they are dead. And it's really hard to fathom the mindset of such individuals, the minute your children left you you should be nervous or panic already. But this addicted gamblers decision is really clouded that they don't know the consequences of their actions.
1773  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 07, 2022, 09:04:32 AM
Can we expect on future years to come on having machine scoring on some sport? It might be that accurate? There are angles which might cant be seen by machines but can be seen by human awareness and observation thats why manual scoring would really be still preferred but since machine scoring isnt available yet then lets see if ever this one pushed through but its true that speaking about possible
bias decisions then it could happen but these judges wont really make themselves easily get caught nor too that obvious.

I made a post on this, a few weeks ago. Several techniques are available for mechanical scoring. But the problem is that none of the boxing organizations (WBO, IBF.etc) have approved them. They are still in the initial stages of development, and although they have been tested on various amateur competitions, I don't expect mechanical scoring to be implemented anytime soon on major tournaments. Anyway, just 10 days to go.. the 4-year wait is finally coming to an end. And hopefully, this time we will have a clear winner and things will be settled once and forever.   

Mechanical scoring might not be suitable for professional boxing especially in the highest competition.
Usually, when a boxing match is very close and the score cards are very close, it would create a minor controversy right after the end of the match. Can't blame the judges though as they are watching the match live and they need to decide on that point of view. Replay of the video would determine who really wins.
Except for those clearly biased judging, that will make a huge controversy.. Like the Pacquiao and Horn fight.

So boxing judges boxing obsolete with mechanical scoring? Nevertheless, I think the governing bodies will not allow this kind of judging. For sure they could have vested interest on having judges score the actual fight.

But yeah, just a couple more days to go before this finally landed, everyone is anticipating that they will just continue what they left off in the 2 fights that the had, round 25 in this trilogy starts.
1774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 06, 2022, 12:56:59 AM
At least Butler will punch back, unlike a punching bag, hehehe. Paul might show his skills in this fight early, trying to evade those power punches from Inoue. But sooner or later he will be fold because he doesn't have answers to the Monster volume punching + power. This could be another great performance by Inoue and become the top 1 in the pound for pound list this year.

But Butler's punch-back surely can't be considered a threat. hehe. I also can't see him dodging most of Inoue's punch. I agree that he will turn into a punching bag by Inoue. Butler should be happy though for the opportunity to fight Inoue. I think he didn't expect to be in an undisputed match in the first place.

This will be Butler's most notable fight. If he will win, that's a considered jackpot for him.

For sure this is already a sweepstakes for Butler in terms of guaranteed money although Inoue could get the lionshare because he is the A-side of this fight. So no matter what will be the outcome, Butler is already a winner. Of course he wants to upset Inoue and create a inbalance in this division. But he will need a lot in this fight because no one has defeated Inoue so far. There is no written strategy, so very difficult task in front of him.
1775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 06, 2022, 12:12:31 AM
Guys, today I was visiting some sports/news sites and I read a news article about Chet Holmgren's injury (to be more specific an update on his injury) and it said that he could return to the NBA maybe at the end of the season regular or early playoffs.

As incredible as it may seem, I tried to access this site again to view it more calmly, but it seems that the content was taken down... To be more specific, this news I had read was on the ESPN website.

Has anyone seen any news similar to this about Holmgren's injury!!?

Looking at the news before, Chet's injury is a season-ending injury. He might be able to play, as you mentioned in NBA's last few games or early playoffs but I'm sure OKC will not risk it. They will fully unleash Chet next season to make sure everything is smooth. For now, OKC will now rely on their current roster or maybe they have also other plans to sign other players before the trade deadline.

Yes, although in the beginning we thought that the injury is not that serious,but the MRI says otherwise and they didn't waste time because he goes under the knife to fix his injuries and they declared it a season ending for Chet. And it was reported a couple of days ago that the operations is very successful. They just needed more time for it to heal so there's no rush for him to comeback whether end of regular season or in the playoff because he needs time to adjust his body. So it's better for the OKC management to rest him out this season.

while there is a war going on in their country, these cyber group are also busy victimizing. just amazing.  Cheesy

Just really ironic that they would rather continue with their criminals activities despite what is going on with their country. Maybe this Ukrainians doesn't care what is happening on their homeland, for them money is important specially in this times as they need to feed their family. But I guess money can't buy anything if their country is still in war-torn.

it didn't say how long this call center been operating, i can imagine they operate for years by the number of employees laying down. Just arm these crime group, recruit these guys to fight Russians in Donetsk.

Let's say they have been operating prior to the war because it looks like it is very organized. The setup and everything is professional. So they may be running this for years maybe.
1777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 03, 2022, 07:08:06 AM
The Lakers today seem to be close to making a deal that will get rid of Russell Westbrook and get them Mike Conley...  I'm not sure how they plan to pull off this wizardry but apparently they're getting close enough for people to be making reports about it.  Granted Mike Conley isn't exactly a young guy either, but his game is less centered around athleticism so it might be a step in the right direction for the Lakers.  Although not ideal...

I guess that's what the rumors is, but I think the Lakers will have to get more out of WB trade, Conley will not be enough.

If I'm the Lakers management, will want to keep WB this season, and see how he does with a healthy Bron and AD and with a new coach, just saying.

Jazz for sure have a lot of picks now, it's just a matter of being lucky and get a great player. If we look at OKC, they are still in the rebuilding phase. They got Chet, but he was injured so the gamble hasn't paid yet.
1778  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin do $19k again before a bull market? on: September 02, 2022, 01:30:03 AM
I think is more possible than many people guess. We saw huge price movements around covid period, like you can remember we dropped below 10k. I feel like if traders feel like bitcoin is not profitable they can create sell walls and bulls will not break those walls. Although as I mentioned in different threads its better to start accumulating early. At one point Bitcoin will do huge jump like 2x and missing the train will feel awful.

I'm not sure if we can compare it pre-Covid and post-Covid, yes we dropped because of the news but we get up so fast as well. As compare to right now, bear market is still with us and there is no recovery.

We are just trading above $19k and possible to go down again. I think the next barrier is $22k, if we can get on that price then maybe we will have some respite this month of September and then hopefully we can go back to the price of $25k at least.
1779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 02, 2022, 12:35:34 AM
Utah are rebuilding.

The most insane rebuilding I think I've witnessed so far. They are giving up their young and currently prime 25-year-old key scorer for future draft picks. I don't see how rebuilding takes place on that decision to trade their main scorer. Rebuilding with young cores isn't really an effective way to compete in the league.

If only they surround Mitchell with good role players instead, then that's what I called rebuilding.

I hope their decision will really bring a good future for the Utah Jazz. Cavaliers, I think the winner of this trade.

Well they have given Gobert and then Mitchell, so for sure it's a huge change in the Salt Lake City as this season we will see a brand new team. And I also wouldn't be surprised if Clarkson, Bogdan and Conley and veteran Rudy Gay in the trading block prior to the start.

Seems that Utah win this one? agree or disagree?

As mentioned, they got lots of options and hopefully they got lucky those those draft picks. This is like OKC all over again, when they traded, WB and then PG and get a lot of future picks.

It will be a very long rebuilding process since they are starting from scratch. We cannot tell yet if it is a win for Utah. I guess when their picks comes in and they have good ones, not bust, then we can say they won the trades.

I wonder what prompted Jazz to rebuild this extreme. Since Gobert - Mitchell tandem is not working, I thought they would pick one and build around him and trade the other one. But they chose to rebuild from scratch. Did they really think Donovan Mitchell cannot give them a ring or at least get them to a finals? Or there is another reason unknown to us.

Coach replaced, Gobert and Mitchell is gone, yeah looks like they are going to rebuild from scratch. Obviously, the tandem is not working they can't even go the finals with that strong line up of them. They are complete and yet they always fail and it's better fo the management as early as this season to take that big risk. I think they have admitted already that Mitchell is not going to give them the ring and the surrounding players are not also  responding to Mitchell and Gobert.
1780  Bitcoin / Legal / National Police of Ukraine takes down cyber crime group on: September 01, 2022, 05:56:46 AM
According to this report, the The National Police of Ukraine (NPU) takes down a cyber crime group that targets victims of crypto fraud and appearance that they are going to be help by this people. Take note that this is group is like a call center, they phone their potential victims and then they spoof the phone numbers of Banks so it look genuine outside.

And then they will ask those people to send money in account where the groups have control of. And so obviously, there will be no "commissions"s for this victims, except that it's a double whammy for them.

Quote
Investigators of the Main Investigative Department of the National Police of Ukraine together with the SBU blocked a criminal scheme of misappropriation of funds of citizens of Ukraine and European Union countries under the guise of exchange trading in cryptocurrency, securities, gold and oil.

For the operation of the cross-border fraudulent mechanism of misappropriation of funds, the organizers used high-tech equipment and software, which allows to change the phone numbers of the attackers to the numbers of state banking institutions.

In addition, the members of the group, using the contact databases of foreign citizens, against whom similar fraudulent actions were previously committed, on behalf of the so-called "Community of cryptocurrency brokers" offered victims to return the stolen cryptocurrency for a "commission".

After receiving consent to return the lost money, people were sent details for transferring the "commission" to the accounts of the participants in the criminal scheme. After receiving the funds, communication with the "brokers" was interrupted and payments were not made.
