1921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kazuto Ioka vs Donnie Nietes II on: July 07, 2022, 02:28:01 AM
it is 72% against 27% favoring Donnie Nietes 11 .

I assume that even in His older age still People are aiming and trusting Him to win this fight?

but the sad part here is if that he losses this one , maybe he will also retire like the 2 famous Filipino Boxer that face defeat and decide for retirement.


Retiring is going to be an option for Nietes IF he losses, which I don't thin he will. If you take a look at his last fight against Reveco last year, he's still looking sharp and mixes his punch very well. Nietes is a smart boxer and an underrated one. He fought Ioka once and that gave him the edge to win the fight, and that explains the odds as well.
And that also explains why people/bettors are trusting him 100%. Being strong and smart at the same time is a formidable force.
For the records as well, he's the longest reigning Filipino world champ boxer.

Nothing to be ashamed if he hang his gloves if he losses this one. Yes, that record alone is hard to break and that could stand still as the record for Filipino boxers for a long time.

I'm not sure if we can call it trust, but we believed that he may have his last performance and after this one, he may have to evaluate, with him and his family if he wanted to continue or not.

a champ in 4 division is not easy to achieved. though his technique is impressive, most of his fights are boring specially when it ends in decisions. he is named "ahas" because he used to move sideways to be behind his opponent. we don't see him doing this anymore. his age must have been a reason which the rematch may likely end differently this time against the younger Kazuto. i watched the previous fight, looks very even.

Like gold is not just based on gold if you ask me, it is just the market decided to play with it, and wealthy people are playing with it, you could give them literally manure, and they will make a huge market out of manure and act as if it is something super valuable and buy and sell accordingly.

ever heard of commodities? manure is a commodity just like oil or natural gas. or hay. its tangible product that people will pay for.
Quote
Doesn't mean that it shouldn't be something special, it just means that they could take anything, say it's "backed", and then do whatever they want with it and leverage it 100 times over to make money from it.
ever heard of pork bellies?



the goal is for transactions to be transparent. going back to the basics like fiat or gold or physical transactions will negate that aspect.
Bitcoin is backed by MATH and POW which the hashrate increased so much that if the power is converted to money is really huge. that's what backed BTC.

if you back something with manure then its a shit, maybe a community of farmers will find the manure useful for organic farming but its for the farming community not for all.
1923  Economy / Gambling / Re: The History Of Gambling. on: July 06, 2022, 11:05:54 PM
a dead man bringing with him a pair of dice in his tomb must really be a gambler all his life that he wants to gamble after death.
the old games still exist today and re-innovated for the technology which we now gathered in brick and mortar casinos  like the slot machines.

in the 1800, regulations are probably not yet decided which in spaghetti western movies, a town always has a casino and a brothel in one house. there must be something truth to what we see on those movies. i wonder how the history of gambling regulations started.
1924  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is a Museum of Bitcoin Mining History in Caracas, Venezuela on: July 06, 2022, 04:40:25 AM

must be an interesting place to start seeing how far we've been through though BTC is just running more than a decade. feels like we are already dinosaurs.  Venezuela is the last country i thought of having such museum with advocates on decentralization.

if people are just aware that time when we can mind BTC with just CPU or GPU, we're already having thousands to keep for life. Congrats whoever made this museum!
1925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Take This 2 Minutes Nine Step Quiz To Access Yourself In Gambling on: July 06, 2022, 04:29:14 AM


This self-assessment is based on the Canadian Problem Gambling Index. The higher your score, the greater the risk that your gambling is a problem.

* This information is not intended to be used for diagnosis, treatment, or referral services. Individuals should contact their personal physician and/or their local addiction or mental health agency for further information.

Tip: If your score indicates you might be at risk, there are options available to you. Find local help now..

Canadian really have the huge gambling problem that they have local treatment centers. its a wrong time to be one of the High Risk gambler due to the economy today but its also the reason why some engage in gambling because they expect to solve issues upon winning big amount in gambling. People losing jobs should just find another job but for some they gamble instead to see if luck is on their side.

i'm low risk but no need to ask help.
1926  Other / Archival / Re: Binance Expands Crypto Adoption on: July 06, 2022, 04:12:14 AM
And now with the crypto market falling really hard, the industry has a lot of companies that are having a hard time. A number of them has already succumbed. Some had to lay off workers. Some had to implement extreme measures like freezing withdrawals. Some are barely operating. They all have one thing in common; they all urgently need new funds and new investments coming in.

Here comes the CZ. Lately, it has been reported that Binance CEO eyes '50 to 100 deals' as crypto slump shakes industry. It seems CZ's plate is far from full. It could still accommodate more. It seems this crypto winter season is a perfect time for the man to help stressed crypto companies.

CZ has same plans of FTX Sam Bankman-Fried  but CZ wants to get ahead of the services in paying crypto to taxi/delivery.  since FTX offer free transaction fee, binance.us also did the same which i hope he does it on binance.com as well, the two could have been competing who stays on top.

buying  insolvent lending platforms is likely not CZ's plan, binance is already on top and is trusted as well. concentrating in making crypto adoption will be a way to move forward than buying insolvent lending platform. adopting BUSD or  BNB to taxi services will be acceptable  start.
1927  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the dip and Invest in Bitcoin for long term on: July 06, 2022, 03:42:01 AM

same here. i can not ignore the dip that i have to sell my BTC to expect another dip. we know the market follows a recovery cycle which is why people are also selling.  if they are buying, that's the time its good to buy as well. if you start DCAing today, that means you really have the money to sustain yourself despite the price continue declining.  we have different preferred strategy but a short term traders would rather by buying at $30k-$35k again as long as the market will not go against their trade.
1928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino can play a role in changing fortune? on: July 06, 2022, 03:27:45 AM
a lot of good story which change the life of a poor person to living a high life and there are also people living a high life to a homeless.  just to balance the role. not everyone gets lucky in casino don't put all your hopes to casinos to give you riches.  if Smith wasn't lucky that time, we wouldn't see Fedex delivering packages today.

Many of us who play casinos, suffer more or less. Many are blaming it again that it is a money-losing machine. In this regard I would like to share a success history by playing casino game. It is only for knowing the truth especially those are don't know the fact.

Many of us may know the name of an international courier service known as FedEx. This courier service company headquarter is in Tennessee, USA. FedEx currently distributes about 1.2 billion parcels a year in 220 countries with an annual revenue of about 3 billion. Smith, founder of FedEx, started his business with 84 million us dollar. At that time he started operations in 35 countries with 8 planes. But at one stage, the price of plane fuel increased and that contemporary time courier service did not become very popular. His company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Smith come back to Las Vegas feeling sad. At that time Las Vegas was known as the capital of casinos. He had only $5,000 when he entered a casino with a depressed mind. His destiny was revealed. He earned about $27,000 with in a week. Smith come back to FedEx headquarter and invest his money on his company even though his money was not enough to run the company but with his hard work and enthusiasm he arranged to send all the parcels. in this way he established his company.
This is really a good success of smith as well as FedEx with the favor of Casino. By the way, i am not sharing it to encourage anyone to the casino.
Not sure if you narrated the whole story accurately or not. I mean he had "84 million US dollar" and started his business with that. He went almost bankrupt, but saved his company by investing those $27,000 USD he won from gambling? How can only $27,000 save someone from bankruptcy? Are you sure it wasn't something like $2.7 million USD?
Anyway, he was just lucky. Not everyone gets lucky. Most of them are "unlucky" and loses almost everything they gamble with!

$27000 is already big during that time but it seem too small to run a company that serves more than 20 countries. maybe its more than this amount.
1929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The Sandbox being acquired by Facebook (Meta)? on: July 04, 2022, 08:38:14 AM

I don't know if you have read this, but I quoted from the Co-Founder,
"This will never happen"

https://twitter.com/borgetsebastien/status/1540815270427729921

But the possibility is always there I guess, though I am not sure why Meta would want to acquire SandBox in the first place, they already showing some teaser of their own metaverse. And I don't think SandBox has significant differences with what Meta already have.

there it goes. sandbox doesn't really look like its something that could make useful in real world, its  close to what roblox is today which kids are playing. just as i can see in this sandbox preview. the kids also chat in roblox as i can see my kid is joining to her friends group like a server. 

something that i don't know about though, i'm not following the project. the team must have good plans for Sandbox why they won't sell to facebook for more than what its worth.

Happy Birthday!  
you rarely posts these days. companies today are laying off employees even the crypto companies. despite the profit they make, gasoline stations may also be laying off.

yes its another wealth distribution that makes the poor poorer and rich to filthy richer.
prices going to the ceiling is not yet over, it could break the roof to the moon and investing  in petro could  very well save us from this bear market.
1931  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kucoin users, are your withdrawals okay? on: July 04, 2022, 06:58:09 AM

How far-fetched is the idea that this FUD could even be coming from KuCoin itself so that by the time they finally admit to the public their insolvency they could easily point to this FUD as the real culprit?
If they really have in their control all the money that people deposited then FUD can't be used as a reason to be insolvent.


It's too bad so many of those exchanges offer services that encourage people to keep their coins with them for extended periods of time, like staking, lending, and such.  I'm sure there's money to be made that way, but it's risky as all hell.
To be honest, I don't think that people who are willing to hodl on exchanges need no encouragement and they would do it anyway, regardless of the APY exchanges offer which is usually not that great ( afaik 1-2). People just don't like responsibility of being your own bank.

its possible for Kucoin to do it for KCS holders to sell. Kucoin spreads the profit of the exchange to its KCS holder. debts could be rising if the bear market continues for another year. so maybe its time for them to spread fud so less users will share the profit.  its a way to shake off the users holding small amount of KCS.

user who could hold the bags on exchanges, should be wary already and try to withdraw after all you are holding.
1932  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Strong Hands Are Buying on: July 04, 2022, 06:38:49 AM
The thing is that there will always be weak hands. They are the people who buy at the
top purely on emotion and FOMO and sell at the bottom* out of both FUD and/or having
put too much into buying at the top and over extending themselves.

El Salvador and Microstrategy being strong hands means those Bitcoin that have been
bought cheap wont be on sale again for a very long time. This creates an even bigger
scarcity issue in the not too distant future.
Those are huge as well, it's not like some regular stuff or a cheap retail investor or anything. Sure there are some people with a few thousand dollars who would talk about how they are selling and they are scared and all of that, which is understandable. But at the same time we are talking about something where the people who have been involved with this do not have any type of fear if they have enough money.

This is why I believe that we should not be really feel scared neither, those people with hundreds of millions of dollars, even billions of dollars involved in bitcoin do not sell and they are even buying more right now and that should tell you what the rich are doing.

Yes for sure but there are always going to be people who have weak hands they probably
dont follow strong handed people and listen to the wrong people. It sometimes comes down
to education and a little bit of research as to whether someone would sell at a loss.

The education and research would inform those as to Bitcoins historical movements

they are in crypto for profit and when they don't because of the market experiencing the winter again, they will sell with the little they have gained or even at loss to hold cash this time of crisis. whether they buy back at prices lower than where they sold, its up to them. for the experienced traders, they will sell whenever they see the price could still  potentially fall.

even when they could see there are good fundamental news like President Bukele and Saylor buying the dip, they may not be buying along with these two because they are anticipating the halving cycle only.

Hello,
We are looking for a cryptocurrency expert day trading.
We will give you a trader account with $10,000 USD so you can do daily futures contracts with leverage and of all profits we will pay 1-2% commission.

If after 2 months we see constant result we can up the account with $200,000 USD daily
Needs to have experience and proof

i would really be interested to try to apply to this job but i'm just not confident to trade someone else money and take a blame. this is futures trader they are looking though which is more risky in the bear market  or in the market that is just moving sideways. this ad is 4 days ago yet he is interviewing: 0, its your chance.
1934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is for big bag holders on: July 03, 2022, 05:14:07 PM

i'm sure he have also experience winning and so he kept expecting something might change the course if he keep doubling the bet. its that thought of winning that will also keep a gambler going. he didn't go back to $0.42 after wining but proceed to $6 and then apply the martingale.

dice seem tricky, it makes you win at first and when you start to become very positive that you're going to hit it, a losing streak comes. whats worse  is that its your last money. he floored it to MAX in the last roll. But even the bag holders also lose in dice if he gives all his luck to such game.

1936  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which crypto sportbooks are VPN friendly on: July 02, 2022, 06:06:06 AM
VPN might worth in short term but expect a problem anytime especially using VPN means bypassing some security on the site especially knowing where you are playing. If gambling is restricted in your country then I think you have to deal with that.

Where are you from btw? Maybe some gambler here are also came from your country, they might be able to help you with thi.

was also wondering about this because when they ask KYC, the use of VPN might just be an issue for them. he must be  from countries where gambling is illegal which could also be risky for him.

but does anyone knows how we could use the same location and ipaddress over and over through VPN?

1938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Chinese version of Metaverse will be great for meta casinos. on: June 19, 2022, 05:26:51 AM

just saw this video published today by Cyrus Janssen.  although he isn't providing link to what he is actually talking about. I did some googling which i found these:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-29/alibaba-makes-metaverse-bet-in-china-s-magic-leap-rival
https://www.alibabacloud.com/solutions/metaverse

i didn't know how AR differs to VR. Alibaba will be creating the worlds shopping center where you can use the headset and just literally going to experience this metaverse.

In the future i think its not so far fetch after all to play and travel around the world while at home. the way its been described by Cyrus will actually work best for metaverse casinos than what Zuckerberg have in mind.  i think this is where we can chat on the poker table and make bluffs.
1939  Local / Pamilihan / Re: coins.ph, account temporarily suspended. on: June 18, 2022, 02:11:58 AM
Kabayan, ako level 3 pagkatapos na hingan ako ng proof para sa mga axie teams para sa mga scholar ko ang ginawa nila ginawang custom limit tapos 25K ang monthly cash in cash out.
Ang tindi ng ginawa nila at bago pa man ako magsend, may kabayan din tayo dito si lienfaye na ganun nangyari sa account niya sa coins.ph na nauna sakin kaya nagkaroon ako ng ideya na baka ganun din mangyari sa akin. Tapos meron akong nabasa sa mga crypto groups tulad sa binance group na parehas din ginawang limit na 25k kahit level 3 siya. Hindi ko alam kung anong meron sa system nila pero mukhang karamihan sa mga users binababaan nila ng limit kahit na long time user ka. Ang sa akin ibang docs ang hiningi ronin wallets ng mga isko ko tapos sasabihan nila may naviolate daw ako kahit alam ko sa sarili ko na wala naman, di rin nila daw ididisclose ang reason. Kaya iwas na ako sa kanila after nangyari sa akin niyan nitong nakaraang araw lang.

Naka pagsubmit na ako kabayan, bago lang, sabi 24 hours daw malalaman ang response. So kung kung decrease lang ang limit ko, meaning by next month pwede ko pang ma withdraw ang crypto ko sa coins.ph? or disabled pa rin ang account ko?

Pa ki share naman experience mo about diyan kabayan, para at least ready na ako in case di na talaga bumalik sa dati ang account ko or ma block ba kaya.
Pag may verdict na tapos decreased ang limits mo, pwede ka mag withdraw pero kung hindi na siya shoot sa limit mo ngayong buwan, antayin mo nalang next month ma-refresh yung limits mo. Pero wish ko lang sa account mo sana hindi tulad ng sa akin nangyari na naging 25k lang ang limit ng cash in at cash out. Mas maganda kung madecrease ka pero level 2. Kasi kung custom limit, wala akong ibang nabasa na custom limit bukod sa 25k. Basta iready mo nalang din yung sarili mo kung ano man maging resulta niyan. Basta ako, di ko na masyadong gagamitin si coins.

Bahala na, gawan ko nalang ng paraan.

Nag withdraw ako kanina dahil sa panalo ko sa NBA, since wala ng coins.ph, Binance p2p nalang ginamit ko pasok deretso sa GCASH ko.
Siguro naman hindi na yan ma block, haha.. maganda rin ang p2p kasi magandang rate nag makukuha mo compared sa coins.ph.

gaano ka bilis na magkaron ng buyer sa binance p2p?

would you recommend wasabi to someone who are not really up to censor anyone or someone who wil eventually want to send his coin to an exchange?

it does really have a good feature for privacy, this is useful but could also backfire when youre about to sell for profit because the exchanges may potentially freeze your coin.
