We know That Now Whole Crypto Market is Very Down. I am a Investor also a Small Crypto Trader, i invested my All Fund in Crypto, i bought Coin with very High price becouse then Market was Fully Bullish. Then BTC was $60k but now is $21k, So it is Very good time for Usdt holder, Now every coin is Upto 90% Discount. What is Yours Opinion?       
I guess you already know since you are an investor and a trader for quite some time.
Although we can see that the market is moving high but I'd still see this as an opportunity for the latecomers and those who missed the $18k price of Bitcoin.

I never urge people to buy but at least, I'd help them to know about it. We are supposed to prepare for the upcoming halving if we want to earn huge profit, or else we just regret it later.

As all are speculating the merge for ETH, are we gonna see ATH for ETH in the crypto market? Thoughts?

Not this year I guess, because the market condition is still very uncertain and many FUD out there. Many people still feel their losses from what they invest when the crypto prices are in their prime. Just prepare your capital when the right time comes then you can use it as you want. 
Only those who sell their ETH at cheap prices lose their money, many holders are still holding it strong...
Moreover, it was not the FUD stops the market to grow, FED and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine gives some influence, plus the economic crisis. ATH for ETH will certainly come but that only happens when the market is in bullish again. Think about 3-4 years from when halving arrives. Ohh, patience is really important.
1863  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: July 31, 2022, 11:18:37 AM
What I mean is that Canelo had to defeat GGG in the first  half of the fight otherwise its him that is going to be in trouble because GGG seem to be getting better when the fight last longer. But we'll if his age is not making Golov rusty.

Not sure about that strong stamina in the later rounds for GGG and he's turning better at late rounds? Is that what you trying to say? Remember that he's up against a prime Canelo and containing him at every rounds needs a lots more and better stamina. GGG's stamina is surely not the same now compare to his prime. He's already at the retirement period of his career so expect some signs that he showed before won't be seen now on this match.

However, since GGG makes and force Canelo shows his limits, we can assume that he can last longer on this fight. I just don't want the fight will end up in Decision as the cash cow king will surely the victorious and that's Canelo unless the fight is clearly being dominated by GGG.

I believe that GGG will last longer, he has never been KO in his life as a boxer, so I would never have a doubt about his performance in this coming fight. We have to remember that GGG is trying to win, and it's his only chance to prove that he is the better boxer, so expect that he will be more eager to win in this fight.

The only concern is his age, but we cannot underestimate him because we know how discipline he is as a boxer. His last win was pretty much impressive, so he has that momentum going to this fight, and the good thing is that he is a heavy underdog, which makes the betting odds more interesting backing him.

It is overtime for Magnolia and NLEX. It is very exciting and close match.

Magnolia made a magnificent stop against the NLEX and steal the ball with 2+ seconds left but was not able to make something out of it though. So we are now in overtime.

Have to wait a few more minutes for Ginebra vs Meralco do-or-die game.

 

Yeah, that was really thrilling, if only Oftana didn't miss 1 of his FT, this game will not go into OT.
They made a lot of mistakes in this game, so I would not be surprise if they will lose in the OT, but not sure if Magnolia will win the point spread as it's been a close game so far.
1865  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is helping to eradicate poverty in poor countries on: July 30, 2022, 11:55:41 PM
It can't be denied that many people had improved their financial capability because of Bitcoin but somehow, this is not enough to stop poverty in the country, especially among the poor people because not all of them have also the capacity to invest and are willing to do it. We could just say that Bitcoin investment is just an opportunity, not a tool to eradicate such a thing for the reason that this is only for those who can afford to lose and willing to take risk, not for everyone IMO.
1866  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Futures Trading is not for everyone on: July 30, 2022, 11:36:28 PM
When I was new to trading, it's funny how I tried futures without knowing how it works and I was surprised that I lost my funds in just a short click. It really isn't for those who are trying to explore trading. It's only for those who have enough knowledge of how it works because, to be honest, it's confusing in the beginning. It needs time for you to understand it clearly.
Future Trading is another level of trading that requires a higher level of market understanding and also experience. This is not really advisable to newbies, of course, having it tried at once helps to know that Future trading is not as easy as it was, a wrong take for the majority. Spot trading is really a place to start learning about trading though we can't escape from suffering losses where at least the risk isn't that high compared to Future Trading.

The chances of Carmelo getting a championship ring is somehow bigger if he will be in the Warriors than he is at the Lakers, I mean, the Lakers roster is decent but not good enough compared to the Warriors who have a big chance to win back-to-back championship this coming season 22-23 because the Lakers are still rebuilding the team after what happened to them recently, you know what I mean.

Lakers have the same roster, so their chance will still be the same last season. Even if Davis will be healthy but if Westbrook will remain struggling, that will not help the Lakers as Westbrook is surely a starter again. Melo getting a ring, that sounds nice, maybe he can retire after that.

We can't compare the Lakers and the Warriors, both could have the same chances last year, specially Lakers wherein there is a high expectations on them. While the Warriors were not among the favorites by suddenly even without Thompson in the first half of the season, they manage to stop on the top 3 in the West. So let's see if Melo can even land to a decent team this season, him, Dwight and others are still free without any offers.

I'm sure these two will get an offer because they will easily fit into the budget of any team due to their low amount of contract. If Melo will and with the Warriors, no doubt he will be a big help as it has not happen the Warriors acquired a player that they did not utilize well.

Howard might stay with the Lakers, I think they really need him as he is very clever inside, he can stop Jokic if ever the Lakers will face the Nuggets. Melo, of course, can go, there are some players that could fill his position, so the big 3 should be surrounded by good role players and they should stay healthy if they want to be in the Finals.

It's not going to be easy for the Lakers because they need to beat the defending champion if they want to be in the Finals again.
1868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: July 30, 2022, 03:21:57 AM
It's going to be a big deal for Kambosos because he clearly lost the first fight and this was his only defeat. If he gets his ass handed to him for the second time he's going to make his lifetime score look much worse and he's taking on someone who's clearly better than him. We're talking rank 1 vs rank 4 in the division. The only good thing going for him here might be that he learned something from his first fight. I feel like he's going to lose again.

If Kambosos has learned something from this fight, it's that he can't go brawl with a technical fighter because he will be countered all night. And that's what Haney did in the fight. And if ever he adjusted, for sure Haney will do the same.

I like the 'ass handed to him' metaphor, and yeah that's what we have seen in the first fight. Kambosos has no answer whatsoever and as the fight goes on, he was evidently outclassed.

It's very tough for Kambasos to beat Haney if he is not quick enough to catch him. This is just like a Mayweather vs Pacman fight that although Pacman has the power since Mayweather is quicker than him, he could not beat Mayweather because Mayweather will just score against him. I'm seeing this rematch a possible same scenario in the first fight.
1869  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Time to Buy or Sell or Hodl? on: July 29, 2022, 11:19:48 PM
Everything depend on what you want , if you really want to invest in bitcoin I think this is a good time to buy and hodl but if you are not ready to buy because of the bear market,  fear of losing your money , thinking that the market may still fall , no need to take the risk to buy bitcoin.  Investing bitcoin with fear of losing is not the best. Make your decision and embark on what you think will be good for you. If you make up your mind to hodl some bitcoin you won't have any panic even if the market still go dip.
Exactly the point is it depends on us because all traders has different strategies or techniques in order to get profit. But mostly if we talking about holders  It's a good thing if we buy nowadays and hold it until we get profit. During long-term investment many things will happen but only we can do is focused and be positive we should not put our greed ends in the center of our investment in order to prevent loss.

As we are trying to preserve the idea of Buy and Hold. Some people make it hard especially when after they bought Bitcoin prices drop and eventually think about selling. I understand how they feel, worries, and emotional stress is a very common reasons why most of these holders easily give up and loosen their hands after seeing the situation. As we are in crypto, we have to be aware of the volatile situation of the market which we can see the change in our portfolio and we have to keep strong and positive.

Interesting disclosure about Zion Williamson’s contract with the Pelicans. He’s financially incentivized to keep his weight down or else the amount of guaranteed money in his contract is reduced. I’m order to get the full amount, Zion needs to keep his weight + his body fat % below 295. I imagine that means he needs to stay under 280lbs. While that may seem easy, there were speculations that his weight had ballooned to over 325 while he was injured last year. 

Interesting solution, I think it will benefit both parties. I hope it will be a good motivation for Zion as I would like to see this player in top form. By the way, it turns out that the "guaranteed money" does not have to be guaranteed Smiley

This is good help by Pelicans to Zion because they give him a motivation to work hard for betterment of his career since if he would not care and let his weight burst then this could ruin his career since he might became injury prone. Let see how could Zion take this because for sure he will became a monster on court if he will became more lighter.

He is already a monster on the court, so there's no expectation that he will become better, the only reason why he has to reduce weight is to prevent him from being a injury-prone player. Well, hopefully he will be healthy most of the time as no doubt Zion has a very bright future and he can certainly help the Pelicans to grow from a young team to a good playoff contender team.
1871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: July 29, 2022, 11:45:54 AM
Bob Arum has been talking publicly about lowering pay-per-view prices. Last week, he suggested lowering it to $20 to $25 dollars. With that very low price, I don't think people will look for illegal streams anymore. Even myself, I would rather pay that amount of money for a Crawford-Spence fight. But I will stream illegally or not waste my time at all on cherry-pick PPV fights like what Tank Davis has been doing unless I can see very good matchups in the undercards that are also rare these days. Ryan Garcia for example should be a fight night fighter or in the under-cards of championship fights.

I'll be honest that the last fight that I watch is the Manny-Floyd fight. And that's it for me, all the fights that I bet and watch are from all youtube streamers. Sometimes they will ask for a simple donation that you can do to keep it going. But if you are unlucky, maybe just a couple of rounds and that's it, the live stream is cut and you have to look for another. It's better that spending a lot of money as you have said to cherry pick fights. But still, that is huge amount of money already in my country if I will have to pay $80 to watch the fight live.

I think it will be easy for youtube to terminate the illegal stream, and personally, I have no luck finding a youtube stream of a certain PPV fight, most of the fights I saw are from the Facebook stream which is not in HD, however, who am I to complain, it's free so it's okay.
1872  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will you be in favor of Gold or Bitcoin !! on: July 28, 2022, 11:40:58 PM
...

If you're investing in gold for a return you're not investing right, so it's fair for Norway not to keep gold within its reserves. Gold is an alternative investment someone might diversify into in order to protect their wealth from inflation. You shouldn't reasonably expect a large profit, if any.
Gold is literally good for long-term investment as the price keeps on growing but if we think about earning a profit in the short-term, we can't expect much for it as it only has a small increment. But if we talk about Bitcoin, the volatility of its price gives a reason why many people are preferred to take risks because they know that can earn and multiply their money.

However, Gold assured safety while Bitcoin is prone to hacking which is only ideal for risk takers and techy individuals.
1873  Economy / Speculation / Re: Industry experts believes BTC is primed to hit $106,000 on: July 28, 2022, 11:15:49 PM
I believe that some people are experts on something but if we talk about crypto, and market speculations - all of them got to fail to point out what gonna happen. Do we believe this OP? I guess, not. We know that Bitcoin is unpredictable and nothing we can do with that even though we have all data from the current situation as this is not enough to tell what gonna happen next. I won't say it was wrong doing this but if we are going to speculate much better if it was somewhat achievable and very close to reality.
1874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: July 28, 2022, 01:33:18 PM

Hotshots could end NLEX but I'm not sure if Meralco will beat the Ginebra, for sure Ginebra will try to even the series, it won't be an easy game by the Meralco.

Hotshots is the hottest team now, they are in a winning streak, so I don't think with the NLEX lack of defense they can beat the Hotshots tomorrow. NLEX has a bad matchup here, if only they played the TNT, they would have a good chance but against Magnolia, I think they can't win.
Barroca playing like a young player, he lead the Magnolia on the first game with 24 points, if he can score like that, it only tells that the team are playing very well and I don't think that it will happen every night will Barroca will be the top scorer since anyone can have a big night.

Magnolia has outrebounded NLEX in the firs game, 36 againts 53, huge different.

Another blowout win by Magnolia, that's my expectation.

Let's see, NLEX is on a do or die game, they should play better.
1875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: July 28, 2022, 12:58:25 PM
~snip~

But for me, since they are currently the no. 1 and 2 at the Welterweight division right now, I'm expecting that they won't just play defense all throughout and care for the points per round. I want to see them challenging each other in close combat while saying "I'm the strongest!".

If I were Spence or Crawford I would be more cautious and tighten up my defensive stance knowing that I am fighting an elite fighter that would send me to sleep anytime he caught me off guard.
I am also one of the many people who's looking forward for this match as an all out war. A toe to toe fight between these two would be epic. However, just like I said, both of them might be cautious as they knew what each of them are capable of.

Both though is an elite level fighter, so really hard to see how the fight is going to play out. Based on their last fights, this two make some adjustments and for sure this will go this way, like a chess. And who makes the first mistakes could taste the canvass for the very first time. And I don't think they will be cautious, it's going to be an all out war, I reckon. And the winner will be the best pound for pound, regardless of the outcome of the Canelo vs GGG fight.

I hope to see that war so the fight will not be boring. They should not play safe, they have to give everything they have and try to win via KO. Both are KO artist, so we will possibly see a KO outcome, but not sure who will be the winner. With the odds I saw, one fighter is only a slight favorite, so that tells the fans sees it as a 50/50 fight.
1876  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin hit 100k or more in 2022? on: July 25, 2022, 09:36:54 PM
Even to say that the market is unpredictable but it was obvious that it won't reach $100k this year. I really don't expect such highs, not during this bear season as this surely this year remains in that condition and might be extended next year. That $100k is possible, but of course, that only happens when Bullrun comes and it was expected to see huge rallies during halving 2-3 years from now. But for now, it was just a dream that is clearly impossible no matter what we do.

It can't be denied that even in Google's search, you can find a lot of misinformation that possibly be used in some public and social media discussions. I'd just believe that the spread of this wrong information have a huge impact on the crowd and ended up with a mixed conclusion and market views. Either way, it is positive or negative, without knowing the right one and knowledge about crypto, and upon listening to someone who talks about Bitcoin whatever it is makes you think he/she is right (but they are wrong on real).

What do you guys think is the best crypto signals group on Telegram?
Never get fooled with your imaginations that a telegram or one from these crypto signals is reliable, you'd perhaps be a target now by scammers.
I suggest you do not trust any of them, don't make yourself believe any of these crypto signals but rather help yourself to understand trading by your own and developer strategies as to whether you like it or not, nothing can help but just yourselves.

If you are aware of the telegram scam, you certainly are thinking of not joining them.

So what are your opinions on metaverse and how are you guys preparing for it? is it by participating in some of the highly advanced metaverse new projects launching in the space or accumulating some of the top existing ones?


I'd just believe this will create hype and many people will then take advantage of it in the short term.
Though I'm not going to say I neglected these metaverses, I need to be careful with these new projects. Putting some money is a good idea but having a plan to hold them is highly not recommended for this kind. Honestly, I'd just noticed that metaverses are meant for the short-term and that was really profiting during the hypes but if we miss them selling at high, terrible losses await you then.
