IMO, Canelo should focus on fighting John Ryder first, and after that he should fight the winner of the Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez match.

That would be an easy fight for Canelo because John Ryder is not an undefeated boxer. Well, actually both easy especially if Caleb Plant will win on this fight but of course, we doubt that because Benavidez is such a great fighter, it might even end up in a one sided beat down win by Benavidez.
1822  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Dev is not your friend, so be careful. on: January 05, 2023, 09:56:41 PM
All we have to know is that there is one goal for why devs are here and creating new projects, and that is to generate money. They don't care too much about how this project could help the crypto world grow and appreciate but what is in their mind is to make money from innocent people who come. They don't mind if the project will fail and turn scam in the end because it was not their goal in the first place. It finds really disappointing but it was really happening now, unlike before when crypto is just started.
1823  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is hodling top 10 Marketcap coins a good tactic? on: January 05, 2023, 02:33:27 PM
I wouldn't say that it is a good tactic, but it is not worse than some other things I have seen before neither. If we remove all the stablecoins, and use all the remainder as top 10, then it should be a good enough tactic compared to most other people.
For me, it was not just a good tactic but I see the safety of having them, especially during the bear season.
In fact, many people diversify their portfolios, selling their altcoins, and then buying Bitcoin. It was an indication that only Bitcoin can be trusted in the most difficult time.
Quote
I understand that not many people could do it because there will be periods when they will drop out of top 10, many coins dropped out of top 10 so far but they still went up during bull market so it wouldn't be "too bad", still not good enough of course, because they won't be the best profit makers. However, considering people who invest into shitcoins and memetokens then it looks like it is even better than expected.
If we just aim for long-term investment, having Bitcoin and ETH is really a good choice. Besides, they are the known projects that consistently recover and pump during the bull season. Therefore, we have nothing to do but just wait for the perfect time to sell them, unlike with the shitcoins/meme coins where the risk is too high.

I think Nicholson won't be able to play, so Powell will have to replace and let's see if he would be able to take revenge for his team.
1825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 05, 2023, 11:46:23 AM

So we are in a different era right now that as Luka said, it's easy to score in the NBA. And we can add to the sports medicine and trainings too has progressed in the last 20 years. A lot has really contributed why we are now seeing players scoring 40 points and higher per night.

Let's just appreciate how they play right now and so far, this is the most surprising season we had in the last 10 years because of how the star players in the teams turning their games into something historical play. With them being consistent in making their shots to score more than 50 points, they are about to surpass some great records this season and they are a few more points to be in the second but Kobe's still the best one after Wilt's 100.
Because nowadays they are more focus on 3 point shots, and the games are in a fast pace mode. Look at the scoring, most of the teams combine can easily score 220 points, before I think some teams even struggle to reach 200 points.

Do you guys think Victor Wembanyama can be the next Wilt Chamberlain? let's see if he gonna score more points in his first-season debut in the NBA.
What team do you think would sign him? is he gonna play next season?
1826  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tutored or you learned how to trade? on: January 05, 2023, 08:59:56 AM
When I started trading, I didn't have anybody to put me through, so I learn how to trade myself, i watched lots of videos on YouTube before I could place my first order for the coin I bought, from the first coin that I brought, I lost some money, It was my first trade and I was also expecting things like that to happen, frequently I kept on trying it and I was losing money, I was losing money because I was scared, immediately the price of the coin I bought drop a little, I always panic and sell at lost, after lot's of trial, I started understanding the way it works and the amount I was losing was reducing.
Traders often lose their money on their first try, why?
Because they don't have;
 -courage
 - knowledge
 - uncontrolled emotions

But all the failures and losses we have are eventually changing our view towards trading and making us more courageous to learn more and correct our mistakes in the past. In fact, nobody becomes a pro-trader without suffering difficulties, all traders had encountered such things until we succeed.
 
1827  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should your wife or husband know your seed phrase? on: January 05, 2023, 07:31:06 AM
When a wife knows the private keys/seed phrase and she knows how to use it, she possibly misuses it. It is riskier for our investment, especially for a long term investment. However, she is a wife, we should marry someone that we trust very very well. We know how we trust a wife more than other people. So, I don't think nothing wrong to share it to the wife as long as we can trust her and he can understand how to keep it secretly. When we are married, a wife is the closest person in our life. Why we don't trust her?  Undecided


No, it was not the thing I thought about telling our wife about our keys/seed phrase. We did this for better communication and trust in each other and to tell the risk of misusing the keys and being careless to them it will lead to losing our money. In fact, we did share this because we want our wife to know the do's and don'ts when investing and keeping crypto in our wallets. That is why before making a decision about this we make sure that person (husband or wife) can really be trusted otherwise, we never do that and keep it secrete.
1828  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies do not be fooled by developers on: January 04, 2023, 10:24:42 PM
I have read series of posts advising us to do our research very well before investing in any project but as newbie, most of us don't even know what to research. What are we to look into before getting to know if a project is cool or scam?
 The help needed by the cryptocurrency newbies is not to be caution but how to be cautious of what to invest into.
I've got your point dear. Actually, it was really hard to spot a project if it was a scam or legit because some developers are too clever and really doing their best to hide their real intention. But for a newbie like you, it was the best option to invest in old projects while you are still learning crypto. Don't make your life too hard but rather make it easy by choosing reputable coins which most investors had chosen. 
OP is right, scam mostly happens to new projects. So, why we should try them in the first place if we know that most of them are scams?

1829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 04, 2023, 12:35:32 PM
Just got home and watched the game, last 5 minutes in the 4th quarter, and the Dragons are leading by just a few points 5.

Time for Ginebra to bounce back, and with the help of the crowd, there's a huge chance that they will win the last quarter and probably win the game as well. Goo luck Ginebra fans and Ginebra bettors, this is our last push.
The crowd is always with the Gins and that's for sure the majority of them are cheering for their victory. Well, the attendance for game 3 is 15,004.

Just an update: 2:03 time left and score 79-79.

I knew it, they came back in the 4th quarter and won big in game 3. Now the series is in favor of Ginebra, it's 2-1. Thanks to the tip shot of Thompson and the clutch 3 point shot of Tenorio. Also, it's sad to see that Nicholson has been injured in the game, looks like it was a serious injury, hopefully he can still play in game 4.

The Never Say Die attitude was witnessed again, the crowd played a vital role on that huge come back by Ginebra. Good thing Japeth did not play in the last minutes, otherwise it might ruin their come back, C.Stand, Malonzo, Brownlee, Thompson and Tenorio really did a perfect job in few minutes left in the game.
1830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 04, 2023, 11:59:02 AM
I simply don't know if Jazz are awful or if Kings are good this season.... because Jazz had a phenomenal start of season by going in 1st place and having a massive winning streak and since then , they are in free falling that seems it won't stop soon. Then , we have Kings who have been at the bottom of NBA for quite some years now but since they got Sabonis , the entire team kinda changed and I don't see them missing the play-offs anymore and this can be a massive boost in moral for this team but also for the city and fans. Cool
They are just not lucky, sometimes a team have that kind of bad losing streak. However, if you look closely on the previous games of the Jazz, their losses are very close, so that means they are still very competitive, they just fall short in the last quarter, maybe lack of good execution, that's something they need to improve.
1831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Are You Preparing For 2023? on: January 04, 2023, 07:02:02 AM
I guess accumulation is the way to go, there's nothing much we can do for 2023 anyway, we still don't know if this gonna be great year, even though i might've lost quite the money in this current bearish, I'd still like to make up for it, maybe in 2023 it's gonna be year full of bullish and good fortunes.
Yes, it was really hard to speculate what will happen this year because of many factors that could affect the price momentum;
 - war (Russia and Ukraine)
 - economic crisis
 - market inflation
 - the ongoing fight against Covid-19

As long as they still exist, it was hard to put back the market on the rally. I would say that 2023 might not be a good year for crypto but, of course, I hope for something new to see in the market, not just red colors and negative news.
1832  Economy / Economics / Re: Every passing year seems progressively worse on: January 04, 2023, 06:23:13 AM
I really felt it, it was not only in our economy but we are also struggling with climate change and many of our countrymen had suffered the terrible impact of the changes.
People are busy inventing new projects, new technology, etc in order to advance when it comes to economic growth. We see strong competition but on the other side, many people had suffered from it, and many people got starved and die from hunger. I don't want to expect the worse possible scenario in the future but I think, we have to prepare for it as it was been started already.
1833  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can offline wallets ever be hacked? on: January 03, 2023, 09:43:22 PM
Well, nothing is 100% safe in crypto wallets because at the moment you use offline wallets and link to online wallets, hacks can possibly happen. If you want to keep it safe 100% then keep it offline forever but I don't think that really is going to happen.  But all I can say is that - hacking only happens to us when we are too careless, especially from clicking unknown links send to us via email or social media.

Ultimately, there is no one wallet solution that is 100% unhackable; however, hardware wallets coupled with extra security precautions, security features and best practices offer a strong solution.

1834  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone out there doing money by trading? How? on: January 03, 2023, 02:18:39 PM
The more I learn I am kind of coming to conclusion that trading in the long run is not profitable. I mean I don't know any single person who is doing decent amount of money for living by trading in crypto. Hence the question: do you know anyone who is successful trading in crypto? or are you doing well by trading crypto?
I can say that I'm not really doing well in my trading job but at least I was still in the profit and this is because I don't lose hope and easily give up when having mistakes, instead I use this as my weapon to grow up and be careful in the next round. This can happen to you OP but it becomes impossible if you keep on rushing and always chasing a profit every day. You are just new to trading but you already saw the negative thing that will happen to you which is bad and it will influence your mind and that is how you draw conclusions about a thing that you've never given your best.
1835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 03, 2023, 11:13:23 AM
Ginebra is still a slight favorite with 2.04 ML and +2.5 on the spread.

You mean a slight underdog.

I'm just amused how the coach of the Dragons and coach Tim Cone throwing verbal jabs at each on the press. The Dragons were complaining of the physicality of Cstand on Nicholson which resulted on them losing hehe.

Personally, basing on game 2, the Dragons have found a way on utilizing its height advantage over the Ginebra Kings which is a very critical department to control if you want to win the series. The Dragons are bigger and a taller team and more confident going into game 3 so i think they have the edge at the moment.

Guys, our free game 3 prediction contest is still open, see the link below for more details.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5432455.msg61520952#msg61520952

Coach of the Dragons have adjusted on the physicality of the game, maybe they are not used to to the brand of basketball we have, but what they did in game 2 was very impressive, they were able to make the right adjustment and give the Gin Kings the dose of their own medicine.
1836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 03, 2023, 10:44:05 AM
No momentum was being built because of this long break. Both teams just do the usual celebrations they are into every year, out of practice and any basketball-related activities. Since the series is 1-1, it's like they will face off in Game 3 just like they faced in Game 1 where the standing is 0-0.

Maybe today is the day they will resume their practice.

Hope that both teams will show 100% energy tomorrow and we should expect a close game throughout Game 3.

This two team has something to prove since if Dragon will win a championship its like they dominate the whole team in PBA in just one conference only, if Ginebra will win this will also give good glory to the PBA team as this can be a statement to foreign teams that they are not easy to beat.

But let see what goes around for tomorrow since this will be a good game since both legs are fresh came from vacation.

That's correct, it's not good for the organization, PBA is a league and yet the visiting team beat them all. Actually, base on record, it was the Bay Area who had the best record and they are very dominant, however, we've witness in game 1 how Ginebra were able to stop the Bay Area, that means they have a chance to win the championship.
1837  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts on revenge trading? on: January 02, 2023, 11:21:36 PM
Revenge? We are putting anger and pressure into our minds but it is never a good idea OP, you are adding more chances of losing than making a profit from it.
In trading, we don't have to chase our losses but rather find where we are wrong. In this way, we can find a solution that helps us to get back what we lose in the fast and preventing not to happen again. It was not revenge, we take action to have a better output. If revenge is always on our minds, I don't think we can go further.
1838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: January 02, 2023, 11:25:30 AM
The size advantage of Ryan Garcia is a huge advantage, in terms of quickness,  he is also quick so that will offset with the quickness of Davis. It would only boils down to who would hit a clean punch first and let's see if that will result to a KO , because if not, that means they will be able to absorb their opponents power and this fight will go an exciting 12 rounds.

That is true, however, despite of Garcia's size advantage, it will still be hard challenge on his side to get a clean punch towards Davis considering that the latter had a vast IQ and knowledge inside the ring that the young Garcia doesn't have. But yes, I do agree that in the end, this fight will go down in the favor of whoever boxer that can manage to get a clean punch that will definitely give a KO.

And Davis is used to fighting taller opponents too, so he will feel comfortable fighting Garcia whether inside or out. And I would say that Garcia doesn't have that good lateral movement, and so when he chase Davis here, which will be case because he wants to be the aggressor, Davis might used his generalship, his boxing IQ to get away from Garcia's power.

But still though, there are so many scenarios in this fight, that the best way we can think is that this will not last 12 round and someone will taste the canvass and will win by a knock out.

That would bring an easy win for him if he will do that, however, it would not make the fans happy as that will result to a boring fight. A toe to toe fight is what the fans would want to see, they pay for their tickets and PPV streaming to witness an entertaining fight, and running is not entertaining to watch, just like Mayweather.
1839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia on: January 02, 2023, 10:56:22 AM
i believe davis has better advantage when it comes to prep for this fight as he has a tune-up fight before garcia, whereas, garcia cancelled his fight with gesta. which should be a very good one to test his preps.
Nah, I don't think so, Garcia wants to prepare well for this fight, he said he wants to focus on his fight with Davis that's why he canceled the fight, so that means he believes that his decision was right and he will fully focus on his upcoming big fight. Anyway, let's just find out on the fight date, we will definitely know who's ready or not.
There's no guarantee that having a tune up fight would make a boxer more prepared than the boxer who choose to focus on his big opponent. Davis will have the advantage if he will not get hurt in his fight, but looking at the paper, his opponent has a decent record and a champion also if I'm not mistaken.
1840  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The patience to hold is a gift on: December 30, 2022, 09:58:46 PM
In this scenario, i think any one that call it's self investors supposed to know that it's supposed to buy and store now that Bitcoin is having challenges in the market, so i believe that should sometimes we will consider that Long term investment is the thing that gives profit in cryptocurrency investment, but some people doesn't know that such is in existence. Holding a coin for long time is matter of endurance and patience, and many people has become a billionaire because of the risk taking to hold coins with patients in long term

If we are into playing safe, Holding is the best thing to do especially during the bear season. But we can't say it was the most profitable strategy as we also consider what coin we are holding. Maybe if that is Bitcoin and ETH it is definitely not impossible but if are just holding shitcoins and hype coins, we can never expect from them.
As we are here in crypto, I think we need to learn how to extend our patience because not all the time the market is good. Sometimes we got under pressure but we need to stay focused and do what is best.
