Is polka-dot a good price at 7 dollars? This was its price two years ago, do you think that polka-dot can still go down or not?
Even to say it will or not, this still not sure about it. We should have to know the fact that we never know what will happen next. We do speculations, right and it was certainly unreliable unless we are the one who controls and manipulate the market as this DOT and the rest of the altcoins are still reliant on Bitcoin, and once it falls, they will follow as well, and so the pump.

Have we met the bottom for altcoins or all these are just fake outs? What do you think about altcoin market.
Can't say it was a fake-out, haven't seen the trap as this situation is real.

The rumors of a Kevin Durant trade to Portland just heated up quite a bit as Dame posted a picture of KD and him in Trailblazers jerseys to his Instagram. Probably just wishful thinking on Dame’s part, but interesting that he’s fueling the fire of these rumors. I can understand why though. Dame has never played with anyone near Durant’s talent and Portland has been trying hard to get him some help. I thought this was nonsense, but maybe there’s some reality to these rumors.

Damian Lillard is still following his stand not to change teams even though he already hinted several times that he might find a new home. For me, that makes sense to do and he should be supposed to do it for a long time now. Portland Blazers failed to surround him with good role players and I don't know why Lillard is still staying with them regardless of the contract he signed for.

But yes, that rumor is non-sense as that is not close to be happening. Kevin Durant will stay on Brookly Nets and probably will just wait to use his Player Option (if any) before considering switching teams in the near future depending on where the team will end up every season.

I remember him back then when he post on his social media account about Melo.

And things went smoothly for Melo and he again have his chance to play inside the league, let see if this kind of rumors
can be materialized. Maybe Kyrie can stay and be the alpha that he really wanted to be, though it's really intriguing
if there's a chance that Blazers and Nets can take in between and settle the possibilities.

Lillard won't win a championship even if he surrounds himself with good role players, he needs a superstar to play with him and I think Durant would be a nice pair for Lillard as IMO Lillard is better than Irving in terms of relationship with his teammates.

He cannot even win a championship with CJ, how much more if he is the only one left in the team. I don't see him having the skills like Lebron and Kobe, and actually, even Kobe and Lebron needed another superstar to play with them in order to win a championship.

Lebron  with (Irving, Wade, Davis)
Jordan with Pippen

What a game by the TNT.

Mikey Williams contributed hugely in this game, Phoenix did win the 1st half but it was the TNT who dominated the 2nd half.
Williams scored 27 points on his first game this season if I'm not mistaken, he still hasn't change, he really is still a superstar.

He already made an adjustment last season and he dominated, so I would not be surprise if he wins the best player of the conference again with the way he is playing.

By the way, the 2nd game seemed not fun to watch if you are a fan of converge because SMB is clearly dominating them now and the lead could balloon to 20 points. SMB will win and they will have a major bounce back after a lose against the Ginebra.
Too early to say to be the best player for this conference but its really possible especially if Williams will stay consistent and have this winning moment always. TNT is one of the big contender for this conference, I can see them playing in the semis. On the other hand, SMB have to bounce back and claim their win again, their last match against Ginebra is very close, unfortunately they failed to win but that's ok since all of the teams now have their own losses, SMB just need to bounce back to get back on track.
They will bounce back as at some point they already lead 30 points in this game, no way converge will have a big run against a good team, I would say this game is already over as SMB will not allow to melt down in the 2nd half.

I still remember when the price of Ethereum in 2017 reached $1000 USD and then dropped to $100 usd in 2018, maybe a situation like that will happen again, but no one knows when the price will go down, because nowadays crypto investors are smart in managing assets that they have with many things such as staking and farming, of course with the aim of long-term investment
the fall of ethereum in 2018 was very significant and the impact that I felt the most panic and fear was very high for me personally who incidentally as a person who just joined in 2017 and at that time there was no obsi staking and farming there was only holding on to it but everything was treated after selling it in 2020 ago even though ATH still hasn't happened
so the fall in the market will be beneficial for them to buy and is something that must be taken advantage of even though some assets have been stuck 50-70% but all will be cured for those who are able to withstand the pain of a bear market
Choosing the right coins for investment gives us no worries even if the market will dump like in 2018. I won't say that this current bear season is the same as the previous one, however, this will create panic as well if we invest shitcoins, those in hype knowing that they will dump more and hard to recover. It can't be denied to have some fear and uncertainties during the bear season but if we let this feeling controls us, the possibilities we think negatively and lose our minds end up selling our assets.

When the price of bitcoin plunged so deep from the ATH level many speculated that bitcoin would die. But in reality it never happened. If people are experienced and have been investing in bitcoin for a long time then the drop in the price of bitcoin is not surprising, they even take advantage of the price drop situation to buy and increase their portfolio and hold on for the long term to get big profits someday.
Those people panicking that bitcoin will die soon are newbies, because many bitcoin investors knew that this is the best time to buy bitcoin and hold for the price to move higher before they can sell to make a good income. This is the best period to make huge amount of money from bitcoin because the price has fall to $20k few days ago that is making people to buy more bitcoin and add to the ones they had bought when the price was $30k in the crypto market.
Most are newbies but there are certain people who are here for many years that still have that feeling especially when they bought Bitcoin during ATH. Well, I understand their feelings, it was their emotions that drag them to think that way that is why upon investing in crypto we must be sure that we are strong enough to face the consequences with this form of investment as the risk is too high. And those who come with such preparation will likely end up profiting.
1966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: June 25, 2022, 12:40:46 PM
So we will see if Magsayo can test that and landed on Vargas and if he can get up and not get knock out by that left by Mark.
Vargas should not allow that to happen as Magsayo really has the power to knockout an opponent, that's the best chance of Magsayo to win and therefore Vargas should be aware of that. Why would he give Magsayo the edge in the fight if he can score by points only, he has to be smart to beat the champion.

Magsayo is not a champion for just nothing if Vargas will be careless. Magsayo can take the full advantage

knocking him down. The Pinoy pride is also explosive and has a solid combination that can KO Vargas. It's expected that both
fighters will be aggressive proving something in their upcoming fight, there's no room for mistake and carelessness, fans will
love to see explosive toe-to-toe exchanges of punches between them.

I hope both will be aggressive so we will have not to worry anymore about Magsayo successfully defending his title. This is his first defense, right? So he should make an impressive win here, a KO win is the only way, there's no way Magsayo will win in the judges scorecards on this fight, he should seek for a KO as fans would love a boxer who is a KO artist.

Personally, I really like to see how both will come up inside the ring with both intentions to win,

Vargas to attain new division belt while Magsayo is to defend his title and bring more hypes to his name, the winner will take
all especially the token to have more money fights.

We will just need to wait for the outcome of these upcoming fight almost 3 weeks or fewer and we will see them inside the
ring and start impressing the fans.

Magsayo has to win this because he is the only Filipino champion that is left.

In the bantamweight division, we had Donaire and Casimero, but now they don't have the belt anymore.
Only Magsayo is left, hopefully he will not be pressured and he will also work hard to retain the title and maybe soon he can move up in weight to collect another belt.

Just to correct you though, we still have one Filipino champion, Rene Mark Cuarto, who held the IBF mini-flyweight title. And he will have a fight against a Mexican Daniel Valladares, so he will have to travel to Mexico and this fight is scheduled on July 1.

For sure there could be pressure on his shoulder to keep the Flag flying for us and this is a very difficult fight for him. Nevertheless, he has a good chance to win against Vargas.

Thanks for the correction but honestly I don't know Rene Mark Cuarto, I haven't seen him fight yet,  your comment makes me search this guy on youtube as I'm quite interested on how good he is since he is a champion.
1967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: June 25, 2022, 12:09:15 PM
The first game has already started.

The score is 41-30 in favor of the Blackwater, but it's too early, I don't understand why they are even in the bookies when it's very clear that Blackwater is the better team. What are your thoughts on that? I guess Blackwater is an easy pick here.

Yeah, it's an easy win by Blackwater, they already lead 22 points after the 3rd quarter and I don't think that DYIP will be able to have a run in the 4th quarter for a come back win, congrats in advantage to those who bet on Blackwater to win.

I think they didn't win a single quarter, the game ended up like it was a one sided game.
Blackwater win by 37 points, the final score is 107-70, hmm... I didn't realize that there's a huge odds waiting for a special bet for a team winning 26+ points, the odds of that one is sure more than 50+, sometimes I put a bet on that but this one I did not think it's gonna happen.


It was the biggest win in their franchise history, a team that was a very bad team in the past season is now playing a very good basketball. They are now number 2 in the standing with a 3-1 record, they have really achieve something big already thus far.
1968  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best time to buy or wait a little bit ? on: June 24, 2022, 11:17:02 PM
The best time is now and is bullish about Bitcoin at this period.
I like your buying strategy and I think it is the safest investment method, especially in a volatile market like Bitcoin, I did a similar buying move recently but since I bought at 19k it has not gone below that price as Bitcoin recovered back to 20k and have remained at that benchmark for a while now. This strategy is best for a ready bearish market because it can go side ways Bitcoin may never go below 20k again for a while and can even make more bearish movement thereby reaching a price around 25k and after then recover back to 30k or above, the cash you are holding may become at lost to you because at that time hard it been you bought Bitcoin 100%. Am not saying that will happen any was but just take this as the next investment and buying advice to look into.
That is our biggest regret if we just wait for the market to start recovering before we buy. If we can do it that way, why not do this while the price is cheap?

As to see the market is moving back high again, we got this uptrend momentum for while. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is $21,327 (at this post base on the CMC), a good-looking green market shows a positive impact while people and huge investors are accumulating Bitcoin in the past days. I think we are getting close to recovery, might see it was early but at least we got this point that we are up at $20k again.
1969  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Less FOMO more Buying on: June 24, 2022, 10:07:45 PM
But now Bitcoin have bottom down to below 25k once again and i will suggest newbies stay away from fuds and buy the dip if you have spear money to do so.
But truly, many people are too afraid to buy Bitcoin right now because the price keeps dropping? How funny, this is actually a good time to buy Bitcoin by avergae. We may not buy it all in with our money for investment. But, this is a good start to buy by average because we exactly don't know the rate of the dippest bottom of the Bitcoin price.
As long as we can get or utilize every rate changes, we may have more Bitcoin to hold for long term investment. Remember, this is very good for long term holding, especially if you are waiting for the next bullish season.
It is just to say that not all are preferred to take risks during the bear season. Many never appreciate the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at a cheaper price but rather be aggressive during hyping. It was found to be ridiculous but that was the reality, many got blind and rejected the sale offer of the market because of uncertainties and we can't be surprised also that these people are the ones who announce their regrets later about not buying Bitcoin.

Well, short-term investors are also short-term holders, we can't drag them to become long-term investors if their minds are already close.

1971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 24, 2022, 11:30:30 AM

Right now NBA Draft Paolo Banchero was the number 1 pick by the Orlando Magic, while Jabari Smith was the 3rd pick by the Houston Rockets, and right now I feel sad because our full-blown Filipino player Kai Sotto was undrafted, but still, I think he can surely train harder and aim for it next season,

Well, he is not on the top list of players that would be drafted so I'm not surprised. Though we are hopeful that he will get drafted, but we have to accept the reality, yes, there's always a next season, all he has to do is to improved himself and try to be a dominant center, he is still young so there's still plenty of opportunity for him.

He's still young and has lots to improve. The best thing now for him is to continue working his way.

Improving what he can offer and make the team realize that the next attempt he will do should be a good grab to take for
the team, height and IQ both are already with Kai, he needs to keep enhancing his skill-sets to make sure that he will land
Himself into this league. For now, playing with other leagues will allow him to showcase his talent and be noticed by scouts.


Is he still part of the Adelaide 36ers?

He got popular in this league despite playing limited minutes only, if he is not part anymore then I think he should explore another league that would challenge him and helps him improve as a player. Kai will certainly get signed, but he has to choose a the toughest league for his chance in the NBA to grow.
1972  Economy / Speculation / Re: Was 17600$ was the bottom ? on: June 23, 2022, 11:07:08 PM
Yesterday the bitcoin price dumped to 17,600$. A lot of people are saying that the bottom would be 12,000$ or 15,000$. Some even think that 6000$ is on the cards. However, we have seen some recovery in the price and it is now above 19500$.

Maybe 17600$ was the bottom or do you think there is more dump in the coming days/weeks?
We all can have our own speculations and price prediction, however, these all can't be said was right or wrong. Even having the basis like citing the past events and market history, still can't assure about it, we know how the market works, unpredictable. We still don't know if we have already touched the bottom price of Bitcoin or if there is something that might surprise us someday as to see that the bear season isn't finished yet, we don't see any significant reason for the price hike that is why we could expect more dumps after a short rise.
1973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA draft on: June 23, 2022, 12:01:21 PM
I already put my bet for Jabari Smith at 1st pick @2.14 and Paolo Banchero as my 2nd pick @8.00. I wish it will hit. We will never know as sometimes it depends on what a team really needs. Just one of it goes right and I can still make some money.

I think I'm gonna follow your bet, let me tail your bet @danherbias07. I like the odds of Paolo Banchero  to be the 2nd pick, maybe I'll just stick with that one as that 8.00 is quite attractive to pass on. Hopefully our bet will hit, especially the x8.00. Grin

So according to coach Chot Reyes, Pogoy does not need to score 30+ points per game because Williams will share the load.

Well, he doesn't have to because Williams is going to take care of the team to ensure a win. He was a rookie last season but already won an MVP while giving his team the championship they want. For sure, by this time, he is better as his chemistry with the team gets better as well, and also, let us not forget that he comes back so we can expect that he has a bigger deal now, something that satisfies him certainly.
1975  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long do you think the market will take to recover? on: June 22, 2022, 11:23:04 PM
In every huge dump especially for a short period of time and with a huge restrain it always takes more than a year or two before it can recover. Usually when bitcoin halving is near. Unlike the other way around, it just takes days or weeks to pump and reach another ATH, to get profit.
Yes, it wasn't easy for the market to recover, and even with help of huge investment, whales, and small market players, this can't be possible to run in just a few months, that certainly takes years. But I have no worry about that, not even hurry - and I don't want to stress myself thinking that either.

In fact, as to remember that last bear season I take almost 3 years to recover, that was a long bearish season but can't imagine how far it goes up that shook the world of finance. I hope that can be the same and looking forward to $100k.
1976  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Hodlers are actively buying bitcoin these days on: June 20, 2022, 09:35:11 PM

This is an opportunity that won't be got often. People who buy a small portion of bitcoin have got an opportunity to buy it as whole. More people are showing interest on ethereum and BNB, taking into consideration the price of bitcoin which isn't affordable though it is very low compared to the ath value. Rather than regretting after its progress it is good to buy when opportunity is available.
They come and invest in crypto hoping for the best and most profitable results. I'm not sure how long they are waiting for this time, but I guess they are patient enough for this.

As to look back 2018 -2019 bear season, the majority had look crypto as a dying platform and only a few people had seen their bright future until the market just boomed and regrets has come. This gives them an example and that is why people never make lose their mind and are afraid to invest but they take the risk because of a hopeful incoming.

For those users and PBA followers in the forum, please check the mini-prediction thread I have created.

Per experience, a contest like this will enhance your prediction ability and of course, increases your chance of winning the game so don't miss this fantastic opportunity guys.  Grin

Thanks mate, I like to join the competition, I already read the rules and it seemed like you have already perfected it.

No need to change (remove or add), let's make it the final rule. When will the competition start?
even me too I would like to be in form when the game is about to start so that I will also join the competition the problem is that I don't lol well about the game and I will need someone that to educate me very well so that I will be able to understand the game because the chance of winning the game will be very hard if you don't know about it.

Here's the official website (https://pba.ph/), you can explore the website and check the teams. Also, you can use youtube and see the highlights of the game, if you love basketball and you are also betting on games, it will not be hard for you to learn how to gamble in PBA games.

Don't force yourself to participate if you don't know anything about the game because you might not enjoy the prediction game, this should be fun IMO.

^ Probably Arthur and his team are offered by the second option by Arum himself. And reason out that belts are not that important, he has cemented his legacy already with a 3 belt that he is holding right now. So obviously, this tactic is milking his cash cow. Sure win for Yarde fight and it it goes into England, more money for them are British is know to be a very sport loving country and they love their home grown talent.

Arum is not new to the business, in fact, he is the oldest promoter if I'm not mistaken, so he really knows how to play the game, he will milk his cow and will continue to do the same strategy so he will become richer and richer. That's why we have other promoters, but Top Rank is such a big promoter, it gives their fighers a chance to be popular but they have to follow the rules as the promoter will always have the last say.
1979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 20, 2022, 12:38:24 PM
Kuminga is good but he does not play the Center position, they need a center who can defend the paint and we saw that even Looney is not enough to defend the bigs of their opponent. They need someone that is healthy and who can play defense consistently, I think that's their focus for the next season to come.

I have to disagree that Golden State Warriors are really eyeing a Big Man to enhance and improved their defensive phase. It's been several seasons already where they are always playing a small ball. Instead of covering what's lacking in their defense, they are destroying their opponents with a good field goal percentage.

That strategy is proven and effective since then. No need for them to fill the gap for a Center position. And besides, even with a small ball, it's not that they are totally not good in defense. There are several times here in the playoffs where they are able to limit their opponent's offensive phase.

Just for a recap, the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Mavericks, and Celtics are all good teams with a good FG % in the recent season but not a problem actually for the Warriors.

In general, they are really the better team, but just in case they will try to improve their weakness, who knows if their opponent will find a way to beat them because of their lack of size. I don't know, but I have a feeling if the LA Lakers (with a championship form) were the one who play the Warriors, I think they will lose, but then again, my opinion could be wrong as well.

For me him boarding the plan and going back to the Philippines is a sign that he wants to play and sign the re-negotiation of his contract. There's no way that you are willing to fly if he didn't consider his new contract. And as what Lastimosa said, they are just waiting for his signature and for sure it's a win-win situation for both parties.

Great news if he will playback, he's the new Jason Castro of this team, transition from Alapag to Castro and now it's William's term.

Like what you just said, I think there's a good negotiation that happened the very reason why he fly back to Philippines he still interested

to play and help the team, let see if what will be the next update in  regards to this issue, if Mike camp will re-sign the contract and play

or he will fly-back home and look for other options.
What's the reason of playing in the PBA if he will not re sign, for sure TNT will give him a max contract + under the table because he proved he is a superstar and in the first season in the PBA, he already gave them the championship, now it's time for him to enjoy his hardwork.

If PBA is a business, players with high demand are also doing business on their terms. Now, we can say that Williams is in the best position to demand because he showed his best and help his team to succeed. In fact, even without him, TNT is still good, so how much more if he will start playing inspired because he has a good contract.
