1941  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for December on: December 05, 2022, 09:51:56 PM
I voted "yes". That was it! $15k was the bottom. The recovery from the FTX effects is looking healthy. There are no extra long candles that create imbalances except the first strong bounce back last November 22 hence it dropped again in the next few days. It will swing a little and can probably touch the $16k level again. But unless we can see another bad news that is capable of shaking the market once again, BTC should be alright. Maybe $20k is already attainable before this month's end.
Many are still not getting over the FTX issue which I think that this short pump isn't about FTX effects but probably people are done with the selling and now investors/whales are bringing back the market to pump again. But never I see this could go far, the pump is likely a short pump but the bearish condition of the market will remain as is.
I hope no more scam exchange issue happen this month and that FTX will only be the last, otherwise we can't move forward and see for another bottom again.

RoS was able to win their match against NLEX which secured their slot for the playoffs. They beat NLEX 110-100, a very decisive win. They will face the Top team in the conference right now, Bay Area Dragons. The Dragons have a twice-to-beat against Rain or Shine. I think it will be very difficult to win against the dragons, twice in a row. They have the advantage in height, import and camaraderie. It will be a tough job for Coach Yeng Guiao to command Rain or Shine to win against the top team, but I am beating they can surprise them in game 1. The dragons have a history of getting surprised with the tough defense that RoS can give.
It will be over in one game, that's for sure.

That is how confident I am with the Bay Area Dragons. I mean just look at how they dominated every single game. Well, they lost against Meralco but with only a single digit lead and to Ginebra which they lost by a huge margin.  Let's take note that the Bay Area Dragons didn't lose a single game with Powell as their import. Their 2 losses are when their import is Nicholson. I'm confident with the Dragons surpassing the first round, but still the ball is round, and we don't know what can happen.

They might be tested on the second round where they will face the winner of Converge-SMB. Both are strong teams and SMB doesn't have JMF on some of their games that's why they ended up on the 5th. Converge on the other hand played really well this conference as well so they might be tested on the second round. I would love to see the Dragons reaching the PBA Finals against Ginebra and this is my prediction as well. Bay Area Vs. Ginebra in the PBA Finals.

Coach Yeng beat his old team but that doesn't mean he will advance in the semi finals. Against the Bay Area Dragon with twice to beat disadvantage, that's not gonna happen, unless coach Yeng has found something that will beat the system of Bay Area.  Good luck to him, he is a veteran coach but he has past his prime.
1943  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 05, 2022, 08:02:56 AM

Now with regards to them winning the NBA Finals, they must climb the ladder first. Yes, they are 8-2 on their last 10 games but still they are now at the 12th spot, and nothing has changed. The good thing though is that the Lakers are only 2 games behind the 6th seeded Warriors, so every win is very important for the teams in the West because their standings are really close. Just look at the Jazz where they got the top spot but after losing consecutive games, they are now on the 9th seed.

As long as they will qualify for the playoffs, there's a huge chance that they'll win the championship. The Lakers are doing pretty well, great teams are beaten by the Lakers and they are very happy with each other, a happy coach, and happy players, that's the recipe for success. Though it's still too early to conclude I'm already seeing a great future for this roster.

Still a long way to go, they are still not in the position now that will ensure them a playoff spot. It's better if they will not anymore in the rank that requires to participate in the play-in tournament, that means they need to be at least in the top 6. Well, with Lebron's experience, he can always carry the team, and with Davis playing like he is on his prime, they'll be a problem to their opponents.
1944  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No Alternative to Bitcoin, Your Alternative is Bitcoin. on: December 04, 2022, 10:02:02 PM
Bitcoin was designed after the 2008 economic crisis. It is deflationary. The halving of output every four years will further reduce the supply of Bitcoin. The imbalance between supply and demand will further push up the price.


A Bitcoin ban is out of the question, and the “death” of the dollar is inevitable. What Bitcoin offers is an alternative when the market crashes.

Many people don't even conceive the idea of a world without the USD as the global reserve currency.

But over decades the global reserve currency has been changing, from the Spanish Real to the British Pound, and then to the USD.

Soon the time will come for Bitcoin when it takes over that. We're in the process of this happening right in front of our eyes.
Indeed, the adoption will take many years before they fully understand the purpose of creating Bitcoin. For now, only a few went to the fullest discovery and are considered as currency and accepted as payment while the majority are still considering this as an investment. Though we think for instance that Bitcoin will take over fiat currency and be considered a global currency, however, I don't even think also that this will totally erase fiat the use of fiat money in the market nor it will stop the circulation as for sure some countries won't support crypto, like China.
1945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why We People Cannot Think Like Whales 🐋 🐳? on: December 02, 2022, 09:35:06 PM
Okay, I'll go straight;
 - whales have different mindsets and have the capability to manipulate the market because they have money
 - whales will take action based on their plan and accomplish it on-time

And why normal investors can't do that, it is because;
 - limited fundings
 - too emotional
 - inconsistent with their plan
 - mostly are just living in short-term goal
1946  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Solana rise again? on: December 02, 2022, 02:20:56 PM
- Sometimes FUD is done differently on different platforms to create information that can destroy an altcoins in this era.

But even so, I know and I believe that they can survive or overcome whatever they are going through in the market. Yes, its value will be affected right now because of what happened with Ftx, but I just don't think that will be a big reason for its price to continue to fall in the market in my own opinion, especially since it's good the development that is happening now in Solana.
If you believe the FUDs, then you are also destroying your trust in crypto. But I see it is not the only thing we get from spreading it because it also retests our capability to decide what is right and what is wrong.

Whether Solan rises again or not, we can't blame the FUDs. It was just time to see and realized that Solana doesn't have the full market potential. Not to wonder why its price dropped because investors ignore and rejected this project. The demand is decreasing together with the market and the bear season helping it to drop more. This project will just rise if the developers will improve it.
1947  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: As a newbie I stay off shitcoin and it paid off, Bitcoin is the king. on: December 02, 2022, 01:29:49 PM
Shitcoins can give lot more profit in bull markets where people buy anything and everything. In current situation where you aren't sure where exactly market is going, better to stay in BTC or Ether at most.
That is why there are still a lot of people buy shitcoins and are willing to take risks even though they know that these are shitcoins. You can't just simply think how they go to x1000, x1500 times. If you are looking for practicality, you can't really ignore this but also it will encourage you to invest as well. That is crazy but many people love it.

People are buying BTC and potential altcoins during the bear season but they are buying useless and scam coins during Bullrun.
And they got paid off...
1948  Economy / Economics / Re: How much longer until paper money is no longer in circulation? on: December 02, 2022, 11:56:26 AM

It is true that paper money is not going away anytime soon, but I do not think that it is due to illiteracy, for today there is a very low level of illiteracy. The disadvantage here is that the world population still makes up a large part of the elderly and they have difficulty using the internet, smartphones, and many places are still not exposed to the internet. In addition, for people with disabilities, they will also face difficulties in life without paper money, in many cases not being able to use the internet.
What makes fiat can't be replaced is that it gives already comfort to everyone.
For many years that we are using this, of course, all of us will surely think that paper money is very useful and adaptable to any status of life. Unlike these digital currencies that even a normal person suffered difficulties, how much more if we are PWD?

I don't think that it was necessary to stop using paper money. I don't think that we need to fully adopt digital if we know that many of us can't do it.
1949  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A single alt coin which gives you profit multiple times? on: December 02, 2022, 11:37:45 AM
For me AVAX (avalanche) Is the coin i got good profit in this coin by investing 5 times.

First two times i got huge profits.
But after that not huge but that was also the good profit by holding same coin.


It was believed that investing in hype projects will give you an amazing profit for a short-term condition which is different from investing in ETH and BNB as they could give you more and not only just a profit but also investment security.

However, in the situation today, x5 is somewhat lucky for you OP. Because it was hard to see which project will give you that, not this bear season, maybe during the bull market. If we are looking at them this time, I will tell you that you just fail. It was not the perfect time to see this kind of market sentiment.
1950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The market will come back bigger again on: December 02, 2022, 08:45:19 AM
The future will be brighter than it is now, so embrace this opportunity to buy Bitcoin as much you want in this season, and hold for the market price to hit higher before you can sell to make a good profits. There are many signs that made many traders and investors to believed that there will be massive pump in this month of December that will make investors and traders to recover from their losses. Now that the market price is still down in the crypto market, doesn't mean it will be down forever, because Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are preparing to increase higher for their investors to smile again.
How I wish that this month will give us plenty of pumps rather than drops. But I have not, I couldn't assume because many Decembers have come, not all have a good market trend, still a bloody market. We can only see a price increase this month if people stop selling their coins. But as long as there are people selling low, panic - never we expect such a thing because it is absolutely impossible.
I could still imagine that this year 2022 is a bear year of the market and I see December is not an excuse.
1951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 02, 2022, 05:45:28 AM
My pick for tonight.

Detroit Pistons  vs Dallas Mavericks (-7.5) = Dallas Mavericks Win 1,82 Odds

Good luck guys.

Yes mate, same with you, we only have 1 game tonight so I will go with Dallas as well with that handicap.

I'm seeing Luka scoring more points in this game and probably winning in a two digit advantage, but I will be conservative and will just go with that odds or will try as high as -8.5 for 2.02 at Stake.

Unfortunately, Dallas did not win the game, Pistons are really underrated this season, they are a heavy underdog most of the time but sometimes they also upset good teams. It's pity that we only have one game but we can always bounce back tomorrow as we have more schedules.
1952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: December 02, 2022, 05:20:34 AM

Many predict Casimero would win because they already seen how he fight and its undeniable that he's really strong and have swag on the ring that's why he really got the attention of the people. Akaho is underdog here since many people doesn't know him but that doesn't mean that he will lose automatically since for sure he have strength to defeat Casimero on that fight because he also a trained fighter and for sure he see a lot of matches of his opponent to prepare very well on their fight night.
Cant really ignore out that people do make out conclusions even if the fight is just still approaching on which i cant really blame them out considering on how we do see on how Casimero fight.
Just on the thing you've been saying that there's always a chance of upset even though Casimero is highly favorite but to mind off that Akaho wont really be on that ranking for nothing.
Climbing up the ladder would neither be simple or not but Casimero shouldnt really be that too confident and be still be careful on facing up his opponent on this upcoming
fight.

Casimero always shows his confidence outside and inside the ring, and that's why he is loved by the fans because he is not only pure talk but also more on action in the ring. As a fan of Casimero, I'm also confident that he will win and I believe that he will not take it for granted.

And wow, this fight will be 2 days from now, what a relief.
1953  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there still future for growth in bitcoin and crypto? on: December 01, 2022, 09:44:48 PM

I don't know why some people are talking negatively about Bitcoin and crypto just because of this bear market. Despite I am newbie with little research I still believe there is still future growth for Bitcoin and crypto generally.
Despite the day-to-day challenges of Bitcoin, we still see the bright future of Bitcoin. We have faith...
What you have heard ( negative) is a part of crypto development. Criticism gives way to leading these people to the wrong path and skipping away from opportunities that they will regret.

Have Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies' underlying principles changed?

Nothing has changed. The volatile nature of the market remains and we keep seeing the up and down of prices, and the risk - all are natural.
1954  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Secret of success in futures trading on: December 01, 2022, 08:52:44 PM
Supposedly, you're not gonna do this OP. You keep your trade and stop selling yourselves. Never think that selling your signals and making yourselves the best traders will help you earn money because people are already aware of fake signals. If you are just here for this, sorry but you will just fail because only a fool will believe you while the majority rejects you. Might harsh but because of bad experience and feedbacks about signals, it was hard to please people who already have that experience.
1955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 01, 2022, 01:30:30 PM
The Lakers got themselves a nice win over the Damian Lillard-less Portland Trailblazers. LeBron James and Anthony Davis both had big nights.

The Cleveland Cavs got another win over 76ers. They beat them by 28 and have the 5th best record in the league now. Biggest surprise of the season for sure. I thought they’d be tanking for the draft.

I agree with you, the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the most interesting teams this year. Their performance so far is very good, they have managed to win almost as many games as the Bucks. When we look at the Bucks' roster, we see that there are much better players, but I can't say that there are as many good players in the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This means that it is possible to be one of the best teams in the league without the big star players Smiley

They need to bring that consistency in the playoffs as they will face strong team which have better playoff experience. I know that Mitchell has a lot of playoffs experience, but his experience is not good as they have not reach the Western Finals when he was still with the Jazz, Clippers are even better than team as they beat the Jazz without Kawhi.
1956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 01, 2022, 12:56:16 PM
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia Sixers

The Cleveland Cavaliers (13-8) will try to extend their home winning streak to 5 as they go against the Philadelphia 76ers (12-9) today. The Cavs are favored @1.60 while the 76ers odds @2.40. Philadelphia will still miss the service of James Harden and Tyrese Maxey.

The Philadelphia are getting schooled by the J.B. Bickerstaff's men, it's almost a 30 points lead quarter way into the final quarter already, I didn't think the Philadelphia would struggle this much with Joel Embiid back, but I think him getting back was more of a curse today, rather than a blessing because the whole team was rather trying to have him dictate to entire and it's almost like a telegraphed game play for the Cavs to read and counter.

Come on, It's just one game, as if the Sixers losses like this all the time, let's just say they have a bad night, but having Embiid bad will surely make the team better. I think it's a great opportunity for bettors if we will back the Sixers on their next game, for sure they'll bounce back from that disappointing lose.
1957  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are stablecoins safe? on: December 01, 2022, 09:40:31 AM
Most of my stablecoins are in BUSD since I am more active in BSC-related projects, but they are in my non-custodial wallet. Will be transferring most of them in Ledger Nano S to be truly safe from getting siphoned by the hacker in the future if I am encountering another malware without knowing.

Since these stablecoins like USDT and BUSD are centralized, so they can just freeze it anytime. DAI could be a great option for stablecoin, but it might change in the future if possible like the case of Ethereum from PoW to PoS.
Centralized projects mostly have bad ends. We can't hide the huge impact of Luna in the market making many investors worry that any of these days another Stablecoin and a centralized project will follow. Of course, USDT and BUSD still gain trust among stablecoins in the market but we should still be careful as we never know exactly what is their plan.

I can be honest myself that I lose trust in any of them, might it will change in the future but in this current situation, I consider investing in them to be at high risk.
1958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3 on: November 30, 2022, 11:18:00 AM
Well, I also think that Casimero could be the favorite, there are some boxing forums, under which I read them almost every day, and many Latinos obviously go to Casimero, Akaho is a boxer who can offer a very different style from that of Casimero, obviously what it could be that Casimero is very careful because I think that the one who has the most to lose here for anything is him, from Akaho, as he had said before, he felt very underestimated, because Casimero said that he wanted to after this fight, going for Inoue, practically what he did was say that he would win easily without effort, I think he got into a little trouble.


I agree with you that Casimero has the most to lose here but i also think that he can withstand this hurdle and ultimately win this fight.

I read an article where one of Philippine's boxing analyst said that this fight is a mismatch for Casimero and he said that Akaho's style is tailor-fit for Quadro Alas for the latter to look good in the ring.

Akaho's game plan would be to box and threw those jabs but i don't think that he can sustain that all night and keep Casimero at bay because Casimero is very good at cutting the distance and if he did close the gap, the fight will be over.

if Akaho will engage that much with Casimero he's risking his fate as like you mentioned Casimero is good in cutting the distance and also Casimero is good in engaging with a toe-to-toe confrontations, he love that engagement and he will try to dominate if by chance Akaho's punches is not that heavy to endure.

Casimero will keep that close fist fight and he will try to knock down Akaho. He will take that chance if Akaho will be careless in this fight, he will be forcing that KO outcome.

That would be nice if we will see him being aggressive so Casimero's counter-punching ability will be on full display. I love this fight, it's going to happen a few days from now so let's keep updating on the major announcement, especially the betting odds, hopefully it will be available by tomorrow so we can bet early.

Ginebra starting to fall away, leading by double digits now and they are already in their quarters which are the 3rd and 4th. I'm guessing, Ginebra is going to win with a huge margin as they will not give Converge a chance to rally.
1960  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching my nephew about Bitcoin on: November 30, 2022, 05:10:42 AM
Teaching Bitcoin to anyone is not bad, it's even good because we give them an idea about it. But we know that it is not easy to understand, if those who are old and want to know what bitcoin is, find it difficult to understand right away, how can it be if they are 11 years old, it is okay at that age if your nephew has an interest to know this, determined to know this, but based on your story here you want your nephew to have an idea, your intentions are good, but the interest, determination, and passion should come from your nephew and not you dude.

In order not to waste our time and effort teaching about Bitcoin, we should have to consider these things;
 - age of the listeners (must be old enough to understand technical information)
 - behavior (must show some interest in the topic)
 - we know they can carry high responsibilities in the future

But as OP had mentioned, I actually doubted the result of it. Honestly, it was not the perfect or the good time to teach his nephew.
