1981  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A reminder about the media on: November 24, 2022, 09:34:24 PM
Don't believe everything you hear and read. In today's world, opinions are often just that - opinions, and the truth of the matter may not be there at all. That's why it's always important to think for yourself, avoid media sensationalism, and do your research if you want to make informed decisions on investing in the markets. The point is, the current market movement does not exists because of people's opinions, but because of a big money global information distribution industry, who could be at the same time publishers, advertisers and the entire media stream.

Too unfortunate and now that hard to find a reliable source of information if the media can't be trusted anymore. I'm not going to disclose the fact that this is really happening but I think, some media are still doing their best in order to provide useful and reliable information. But some media has been controlled by politicians or business institutions and they have nothing to do but throw negativity against others.

I'm hoping not. But not say it was impossible because the market price still continue moving down the hill. I see a terrible market trend after a few months of rest. I thought that $18k is the bottom price because we saw the price of Bitcoin maintain above $20k for a few months but sadly, the FTX issue has been the reason for the huge change.
I don't have any idea how long this will take but I still hold and wait for the recovery. And I wasn't buying now as I'm still observing the market behavior.
1983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 24, 2022, 12:31:02 PM

Anyway, for the games tomorrow, I would only pick one which is the Clippers beating the Warriors on the road.  Smiley

This one is good because the Warriors recently are very unpredictable, they are 7-1 at home but Clippers is not an easy team to beat. Leonard is already playing although with limited minutes but that would inspire his teammates more. Their win against the Utah Jazz is enough for them to bring that momentum going to chase center.

It was good if the Clippers won, LOL. Unfortunately, I miss looking at the report before placing my bet, no superstars for the Clippers except for John Wall who only score 9 points. If only Leonard played, then maybe there's a chance they'll win. It's just a bad bet.
1984  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 24, 2022, 11:51:32 AM
Didn’t put a bet down but I should have as the Celtics and Warriors m came through with wins on ESPN tonight. Day off tomorrow for the NBA but we’ll be able to enjoy games on the next big holiday, Christmas. Enjoy Thanksgiving if you’re in the US and if you aren’t, sorry for the lack of basketball for a day. Smiley
The Celtics duo did a good number again. Luka Doncic cannot shoulder everything, he will need someone that will step up his game to match this offensive monsters. From start to finish, it was an obvious win for the Celtics because the Mavericks are having a hard time to make stops.
That's really the problem with the Mavs as they really so much on Luka. As you can see on his numbers, it's too high because he had most of the attempts and he holds the ball a lot, unlike the Celtics where they spread the ball very well so they are less predictable.

How about the Chicago Bulls? It was a tight game against the Bucks. If not for White and Vucevic putting the dagger it could've continued in overtime.
This is the Bulls that we saw last year but they fell short after being hit by injuries. I wish it will be different this season.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I wish to see them healthy this season as well, this is a good team and like what we have seen in their performance this season so far, I think it's impressive and they'll be a great playoff team.
1985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 23, 2022, 01:27:42 PM
Yes, Thurman is Crawford is going to be huge, it will be the same as Crawford vs Porter and bigger than Crawford vs Ugas. A

True, Crawford did not dominate Porter although he won the fight, so we can expect that Crawford will have a tougher fight against Thurman because IMO, Thurman is way better than Porter. In terms of stamina, I believe Thurman still has it, so I'm not really sure if what the majority think will happen, I guess we are going to see an upset.
1986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 23, 2022, 12:55:05 PM
My pick for tonight.

Denver Nuggets(-4,5) vs Detroit Pistons =  Denver Nuggets Win 1,72 Odds

I think Denver will be win this game. Murray and Jokic could play tonight.

Good luck guys.

I would have tailed you on this one, but there are a number of players in doubt to make the tipoff, both Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are said to be doubtful for the game, I don't like the chances of the Nuggets if both players misses out.

That said, I likely to only just spectate for tonight, I'm interested in seeing the Grizzlies take on Sacramento Kings, Fox and Malik Monk have been very explosive recently and such a joy to watch, so I hope Ja Morant would be fit for the game, it should be an exciting encounter.

You made a good choice. I lost, but okay.
Murray and Jokic played yesterday but it wasn't enough for them to win.
There are good games tonight, let's try our luck again.

I think the line looks like a trap, they were only -4.5 playing at home, looks so easy but it didn't happen of course. The best pick for me was the Suns against the Lakers, I knew the Suns are going to play harder at home and will beat the Lakers.

Anyway, for the games tomorrow, I would only pick one which is the Clippers beating the Warriors on the road.  Smiley

Hi all,
I managed to participate in a lot of games in the past and earned lot of coins from games like Alien worlds.
Anything new on the market which gives you coin for playing?
Any new projects which you recommend and why?
Thanks for the suggestions Smiley
It was just about to move and forget about this P2E at this time, they're done already and most of these P2E platforms are performing badly.
Just look into Axie Infinity, gamers are leaving it because of the tragic situation they have, and most of them.

I'm not sure if their time will come back and make another hype because I've found it seasonal. Yes, it was indeed a lot of people who make money for them last year but now, they mostly got nothing, and too bad those who hold them until now.
1988  Economy / Speculation / Re: Elon Musk says the price of BTC will rise on: November 22, 2022, 09:43:19 PM
He does for some reasons,
 - making people take a look at Dogecoin
 - buy more Bitcoin
 
Might some of us think that EM hates Bitcoin but I think he is also buying this? Of course, he actually knows what possible things to happen in crypto which rise has surely come in the coming days. I'd never take his advice as negative but it encourages people to have some faith in Bitcoin. He is actually good now.
1989  Economy / Economics / Re: There is Hope at the End of the Tunnel. Don't Give Up. on: November 22, 2022, 01:38:49 PM
Don't give up as long as there is still hope. I know this bear situation and the upcoming downtrend will likely have its end someday. I'd see how the roller coaster moves, there is up and down, and so entering the tunnel where light can be seen on the other side.
As we carried the risk of investing in crypto, therefore, we also make ourselves ready to face the reality of the market where not all the time on the upside but also on the downside of the market. It is probably hard for newcomers to understand the situation but yeah, this is how crypto market works. Life isn't easy...
1990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 22, 2022, 11:40:58 AM

On the other note, Spence and Crawford are also possible if both will win from their respective fights.

It will be a huge hype not just for the ticket sales but more on PPV, as the fans wanted them both inside the ring and to prove who's really the best between them.

Maybe their fights will have a high chance to happen if they gonna easily beat their opponent and that will leave no choice but they need to step in the ring to fight against each other to prove to everyone who is the best boxer in this era. They really need to settle this one because the other fighters like GGG and Canelo already put their rivalry to an end after their last fight. But these two still hard to get the right negotiation to make the fight. Maybe because one of them cannot really sacrifice his 0 lost for an opponent that has a higher chance to stop him.

I don't think the PPV sales were the problem on why their fight did not happen, IMO, even without fighting a challenger before they will fight, they can already make a lot of money from PPV sales. Well, since this is gonna happen, then let's hope both Spence and Crawford will win their respective fight, otherwise, the hype will die.

Thurman vs Crawford, this one is big as well.
1991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: November 22, 2022, 11:12:20 AM
Speaking of Quincy Miller, he was also considered to become a naturalized player but I doubt it will be pushed through.

Justin Brownlee on the other hand is now having a good status to become one. And guess what, Myles Powell has also shown interest to become a naturalized player although I'm not sure if he is serious.

What's your thought about that, guys? Smiley
Brownlee is in Ginebra so it's easier for him to be naturalized. Power Smiley
It's just a rumor but in order for you to increase your chances to a naturalized player, you must play on a SMC team.

Miller and Powell are 2 great players and we've seen these 2 played very amazing and carried their respective teams this conference, but I don't think that they will be a naturalized player. Just look at McCollough. He played in the PBA and won a title with SMB, but still he's been ignored by the authorities. It's easy to say for these players that they want to be a naturalized player of Philippines but it's not that easy as 1,2,3 and it will take years like what we've seen with Brownlee. Overall, it's good to see that there are imports who wants to be a naturalized player for our country, but the chances of it to happen are very slim to no IMO.

Brownlee has been so consistent and he gives championships to his team, so I think that's already enough tests to prove how good he is and how good his chemistry with in his team. Brownlee has played with the Philippine team before already, so it's not new for him to play with Gilas, being a naturalized player makes him happy, so for sure he will play better to represent our country.
1992  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Accumulation phase is out!? on: November 21, 2022, 09:46:09 PM
I'm done buying Bitcoin and I won't do it again but wait for the recovery as my last option. I couldn't think really how huge the impact of the latest big issue of FTX has caused a huge market price markdown. This is the real bottom that most people are saying and they are right that the price may sink to $15k. But, I was still optimistic about the future recovery of the market to believe that it comes sooner.

I could still remember those days when Bitcoin had reached below $5k and still it recover and make another ATH recorder. That is why I still have my faith and to keep holding.
1993  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The market will come back bigger again on: November 21, 2022, 09:21:48 PM
Things are getting worse, the crypto industry has been rocked by various scam and fraud cases that have made investor confidence drop sharply, so it's better to wait a while and see until the situation improves because you have to think again if you want to start entering. with prices dropping like this makes high emotional to buy at a discount.  set goals with mature strategies to minimize risk
It becomes worse because we always think about the negative views of the market, not the benefits we get.
Because people got easily bothered when they saw price decline and then think that these FUDs and scam issues will put an end to the market.
Yet, we never understand the nature of the market which is why we always make things difficult and too emotional. That is why a lot of people had miss the opportunity to buy low as they are just waiting for the recovery.
1994  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What happened with crypto? on: November 20, 2022, 10:34:25 PM
Don't get mad or get surprised by the market trend because that is how it really works. I know you are also aware of the situation last 2018-2020 where there is too much drop happen and it has just happened again. And instead of wondering why the price of crypto is still low than you think, better help yourself to accept these changes whether you like it or not, the drop certainly will come and so the price increase.
I'll take this time to buy more...
1995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to prevent cheating in a game on: November 18, 2022, 09:42:27 PM
.
As a gambler what prevention measures will you take in other not to cheat on your game that you know a way on cheating to win or will you go ahead and cheat ?
I bet you, if I could know how to cheat during gambling, i will be a billionaire right now, because same goes to casino operators, because if only they could know how to cheat the system to ensure no one wins, they will happily do that, so why not me if I happens to get such chance. Because normally, gambling is hard and risky, which is why when someone happens to win, he or she is always happy

Indeed, some people know how to cheat but look, they are just happy for a while, not their whole life. Because it turns out cheaters will have their chance and have the luck to do that at first but soon they are still caught by the operators.
Offline casinos are already aware of this thing which is why cheaters couldn't simply win over them but online casinos, they might slip on it by creating multiple accounts to take advantage of the bonuses. That is the only thing they can do.
1996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SHOULD I GO AHEAD TO BUY AND HOLD SOLANA? on: November 18, 2022, 12:42:39 PM
Guys what's your opinion about SOL? Is it a good buy or heading in the same direction as LUNA
No, I haven't seen it now due to some issues that they have faced.
https://thenewstack.io/how-secure-is-solana-really-industry-analysts-weigh-in/

Though I have never seen it follows the footstep of LUNA, it was better to anticipate such a thing rather than regrets it later. I see how this project get massive attention last year and most investors are talking positively about this project but yes, we can't really assume that everything went well and this is what happen to Solana.
1997  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: If this is all a project has to offer run and don't look back on: November 18, 2022, 12:11:38 PM


Are people still stupid enough to invest their hard earned money on such crypto projects? If you are new to crypto all these aren't real use cases.

If these are all a project have to offer you better run, such projects have nothing to lose if they want to rug pull and believe me it's easier for them, they have nothing to offer in the first place.
They become stupid if they will invest in shitty projects. New crypto investors are not all have that mindset as they are now more doing the research before investing than being stupid to invest without knowing the project.

Most newly created projects offer to stake and with a huge percentage. Perhaps, this the only thing they can offered for their early investors while waiting for the final stage of the project. Usually they don't have use-case and it found risky because we have no assurance if the project will succeed or not. And doing this is a choice, not because someone pushed you to do that.
1998  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto.com in trouble? on: November 18, 2022, 10:21:53 AM
Speaking of Crypto.com problems, some time ago I read an article about a woman who instead of returning $100 got a transfer of $10 million from the exchange. Source: https://cryptomaton.medium.com/crypto-com-sues-user-after-refunding-10-million-instead-of-100-9e1f61220e3c
What would you do if you got this amount by mistake? Money back or new life? Smiley

It could be one of their lie and all those rumors about wrong amount of transfers and refunds. That is where the shady business begins.
The article says the "woman buys a luxurious mansion from a newly found wealth", and "the exchange remained unaware of the issue for 7 months, with this only coming to light during an end-of-year audit." That 2 statements alone are highly questionable.
This woman could've been checked her financial background, and Crypto.com could've detected the wrong transfer right away or at least the same day or the next day after the wrong refund took place. With that huge amount of discrepancy, it's almost impossible to go unnoticed for 7 long months.

It was a dramatic issue but never it gets sympathy from the people and yes, that was absolutely a big lie.
Nobody will ever to listen in a very questionable action the team made. People had already learned from their experience because scam exchanges will never be legit, their true colors will sone to come out. They will just create a dramatic issue and then exit, and be gone forever. That is why it was risky to put and hold coins in an exchange wallet as they are prone to that issue since before.
1999  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: November 18, 2022, 09:04:16 AM

The diversion of attention of the fans are now on this match. Okay, there's no more Spence and Crawford because of this match and that's why schedules and deals won't be possible anymore.

Both has good set of records, as Thurman's performance isn't convincing against Barrios. Maybe this time, he'll retrieve himself and will show the expected Thurman that everyone wants.
For now we will not see a mega fight between Spence and Crawford, but once they both win in their respective fights, for sure the hype will be up again as the fans would always want to witness a big fight which is the undisputed fight between them.
Yes, but not sure if both are still interested, the two boxers have said that they don't need each other as they have cemented their legacy. And I think that when Crawford went to the public and reveal everything and it make Al Haymon a bad guy in the eyes of many boxing pundits.

And so I doubt that he will likely push the go signal here again, unless Crawford is willing to take less money, maybe just around 30% if there is a guaranteed purse split between the two. Sort of payback from Al to Crawford, suffer the consequences of portraying him as the bad guy.

There's nothing we can do about that if one of them are not anymore interested, AFAIK, it's only Crawford who are interested while Spence are making excuses not to make the big fight happen, so I would be glad if Thurman will beat him so we will instead see a Crawford vs Thurman.
