21  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are banks against cryptocurrency? on: May 24, 2024, 11:50:03 AM
They are not against cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin but just hate how it going to be when people, their clients will no longer use banks as they switch to crypto wallets with less hassle and faster transactions. But why still a lot of people continue to use banks even if they are Bitcoin investors? It is a fact that we know that people still looking for a place to secure their money without worrying that any time we might lose their money due to hacking incidents. That is why I still don't believe that the existence of cryptocurrency makes banks issue bankruptcy because many people still trust the usual banking system.

Until now, banks still dominate the market. Maybe someday, cryptocurrency dominate when risk issue solve and hacking incidents slow down or it all gone in order to gain confidence.

If you are a parent and you have kids looking up to you, it's best to hide your gambling addiction and activities because whatever they see from their parents will reflect on them and give them that idea it's fine to do it because their parents are doing it.
That sounds good but we can't say they never know gambling when social media is already flooded with gambling ads. The best thing to do for them is to educate and guide them as we can no longer hide gambling anymore.
Quote
A role model won't do that or don't even gamble at all if you want your kids to be the same as you and they'll grow up properly.

But as a parent, you know what's best for them and you have to be prepared with how you take care of them because no one knows the surroundings and influence that they will be with when they grow up to the right age.
It is not about that if we are a gambler, our children will become gamblers also but it was their interest and curiosity that brought them there just like me.
There is nothing wrong with gambling as long as we are responsible but if we let our emotions control our minds, addiction is certainly we are going.

Proper gambling education is needed, not buy stopping them from exploring things around them, it is their right as well. The most important is that they understand and are aware of what will happen to them when they fall into gambling addiction.

Well, this is just game 1, there's still more game to be played but Dallas winning on the road is big, they don't need to win game 2, they are still ahead IMO. what I'm surprise with this is that Dallas have more points in the paint compared to the Wolves which is suppose to be the opposite.
True, but as a Mavericks fun this already bring safisfaction, one win at a time, I trust Kyrie and Luka to deliver so I'm very positive with the possible outcome of the series that will favor the Mavs. There will be more adjustments that will happen, just like the Nuggets vs Wolves series, every game was really unpredictable, Wolves took 2 games on the road  and they loss 2 at their homecourt as well, who would  even thought of that?

now the series odds has changed, it's quite the opposite before game 1.

Dallas now at 1.59 and Wolves at 2.38.

It's no surprise that the odds changed in favor of the Mavs after the first game. However, I still think the Wolves will finally win this series and become the Western Conference champions. Objectively speaking, the Nuggets were clearly a tougher opponent for the Wolves than the Mavs.

Good luck with what you believe, but I'm believing the opposite outcome. Well, obviously they are the tougher match up for the Wolves because they were the defending champion and finished with better ranking than the Dallas. however, this is a different match up, and Dallas had already proven they can beat the Wolves.

Also, before this, Dallas beat the number 1 in ranking, so if ranking was the basis, it's very clear that OKC is the best team in the West and Dallas beat them in 6. We sure have different opinion here, but let's see if the Wolves can even the series and then let's talk about their chances to win.
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin season, will it come next months? on: May 24, 2024, 03:42:26 AM
After all, it is chart a presentation of the past and we can assure that this will be the same scenario that we experience in the coming days.
However, with the improving situation of the market and Bitcoin price, any of these days we might witness price rallies. I think we need to trust the market, it is been too long already that we have been in this volatile situation. If the price of Bitcoin pumps, altcoins will then follow, I'm sure this is very clear to us. Therefore, before we think about altcoin season, we also think about the current market situation. Otherwise, we speculate it wrongly.

Of course, I recall the past events but most of all, I analyze the market based on the current situation because there are a lot of factors affecting the trend which we never see in the past.
25  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Autotrading system on: May 23, 2024, 09:56:58 PM
I got to realize that must people use autotrading software which enable them to make good profit in trading,  I don't really know about this autotrading system, how does it work? Because people have been saying things about this autotrading, can someone explain how this autotrading is?
Those traders who don't have enough time take risks by choosing trading bots on their behalf but I'd never see (or they are just silent about their trading results) that they become successful and earn more than the usual trading styles. I won't say we should have used this but it is worth trying just to find out how effective it was. But in the first place, we must be aware of the situation that many scam trading bot projects which I hope that those who are in look will find the right one.

But for me, since I have ample free time, I'd still do it myself in the reason that I could learn more when doing it personally. And I could enhance my analysis and familiarize the market situation more.

LOL! This dude probably loss a lot of money on that game. I guess everyone was into the Wolves -4.5 on that game because they came from a big win against the defending champion, but you can't expect the same result with a different match up. Actually, irving wasn't scoring well in the OKC series but the Mavs still won the game, so the answer is very easy when both Luka and Irving are producing big numbers.

The loss of the TWolves was due to a bad call by the refs towards that Kat dunk.
Sorry but I got to disagree with you because it was reviewed, not only 1 ref made a decision, it was a unanimous one and I think they know their job better, unless we think it was rigged.
28  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Bitcoin the Dumbest Thing Ever Invented on: May 23, 2024, 07:37:20 AM
Firstly, we are never forced to believe in Bitcoin nor trust it but it is our will and desires, an individual choice either.
It was your insights and opinion OP, There is nothing personal about it but please don't destruct people who already made their way in and knowing more about Bitcoin.

Let people decide and not spread wrong information to divert the mindset of investors.
Because for me and a huge number of BTC, investors keep on trusting this and the belief that all the efforts and risks paid off. You may not see the potential of Bitcoin but we are.
29  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Lotto Winner Takes Time To Claim Their Rewards, What's The Point? on: May 23, 2024, 06:49:18 AM
I have no experience with this but for me, I'll take time to think about what is the next thing to do.
 - security reasons
 - which bank to deposit
 - claiming requirement/s
 
It is more on the preparation and this is very important. That is why winners have given time (1 year) to claim the prize before it expires and I don't think we need to rush.

Whether you keep silent and hide, people around you could still know that you win the jackpot prize someday. They don't ask but simply they will notice it based on the changes that happen in your life.
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to maximize winning potential and control excessive gambling habits on: May 22, 2024, 10:04:25 PM
All the points are there OP. In short, we need to become a responsible gambler rather than addicted to gambling.

But honestly, it is a big challenge for everyone to keep such things because I am sure, that sometimes we commit mistakes especially when our mode changes. And most of the time we spend more rather than less, especially when we win big. That is why I could say that gambling should not be our focus but just our pastime because the more we spend time on this, the more we fall into addiction. And a reason why we don't consider this as a source of income instead, additional expenses.

31  Economy / Economics / Re: If you want to be wealthy you need action on: May 22, 2024, 03:50:41 PM
Success is impossible if we do nothing...A plan is useless if we never work on it.
If we want to become wealthy, it should not be just an imagination or plan but rather more on actions and strategies as we can't be rich by just sitting down and watching people working hard.
 - savings
 - lifestyle
 - investments

Honestly, becoming rich is not simple, sometimes we need to sacrifice our happiness. But I believe there is no regret in doing this when we believe this would give us long-lasting happiness in the end.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PEPE on the way of taking Memecoin crown on: May 22, 2024, 02:45:22 PM
PEPE consistently is the third largest memecoin by marketcap. PEPE has had an impressive growth of 30% in last 24 hours outperforming every popular coins. Not only they lead on price rise but for few days, they are the most traded memecoins overtaking Dogecoin. This increase in volume implies a price change that's happening at the moment. Their market cap is still one third of Shiba Inu and have a good possibility of rise. With so many people accumulating PEPE, do you see them dethroning Shiba Inu and Dogecoin to reach the top place for memecoin.
That is not impossible for any of the meme coins to top again and gain another market record because of its hype.
Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe coins are the leading meme coins that exist among hundreds of meme coins created. Apparently, with the current standing position of meme coins, we can also think that this will stay long and still in hyped. I couldn't just think that the more we hate meme coins, the more they grow and become popular. Maybe, it is about time to accept that meme coins contribute to the popularity of the crypto market. However, despite the popularity of Pepe coin now, we can't also set aside the fact that not all of their kind are worth investing in.
33  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 22, 2024, 01:04:20 PM
The Celtics won by 5 points in OT. I thought this series would be easy for the Celtics, but Game 1 proved me wrong. The Pacers are giving their all; 7 players scored in double digits, with 3 of them scoring more than 20. The Pacers had 6 more field goals, but the Celtics had more free throws, with 24 compared to the Pacers' 9. The Pacers committed 23 fouls and had 21 turnovers. They need to work more on reducing their turnovers and fouls.

The first game of the series was close, but I think it's too early to draw any conclusions. For example, we saw the Heat tie the first round by winning the second game versus the Celtics, but the Celtics still won that series. It was the same for the Celtics in the semifinal series. Meanwhile, the Pacers had an even tougher semifinal series, as they first lost to the Knicks in the first two games and then also won the series.

I think it's a different series and hence a different outcome. The Heat were undermanned, losing their best player, yet they still managed to win one game. The Cavaliers played with an injured Mitchell, who eventually missed games and led to their elimination. The Pacers, however, are an entirely different team because they are healthy and came off a huge win versus the Knicks. So, honestly, I'm not worried about my series bet on the Pacers, as I'm satisfied with what they showed in game 1.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: May 22, 2024, 12:18:30 PM
I bet on over 213.5 as it looked so obvious this game is gonna go over. If you look at the last 2 games, the total  were below 200, and now the total offered is over 213.5, this is fishy, so I like to follow my instinct here.


That's very clever, nice pick. It looked like it was going to go under after the first half, but the third quarter saw a lot of points scored, which easily brought the game over. The right pick was SMB -5.5 as they beat ROS by 10 points. Now the series is already 3-0, and there's no way ROS will be able to come back. I think it's going to be a sweep. Congratulations.

I don't know what it means my physical trading when we already use an online app and online transactions. But I believe it is all about trading, you and your friend just have to use different assets but in general, the approach is quite the same --you both still selling and buying. I don't think there is a need to debate the fact that we choose the job we think suits us. There is no need to think and show who is better, at least we are comfortable doing this.

36  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino Gambling vs Sport Betting, Lets Discuss on: May 21, 2024, 12:00:44 PM
Both are gambling but are different types.

That's the beauty of gambling: we have a lot to choose from. Personally, I am more interested in sports betting as I find it challenging. Casino gambling is fun, don't get me wrong, but I believe the people who say that you can never beat a casino because it has a house edge. So, if I gamble in a casino, I'm just doing it for fun. I'm not expecting a lot, as I know the house edge will make me lose in the long run.

Back to sports betting, I only bet on the sports that I know and love, which gives me a lot of entertainment value. It also convinces me that I can win in sports betting as long as I develop my skills in handicapping.
37  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is boxing the worst sport to bet on? on: May 21, 2024, 08:33:52 AM
It was not only in boxing that corruption appears, it is also in other sports, they are not just too bulgar to see where we can tell that they are doing it now.
To the question if it is still worth to bet? Well, I still consider it worthy unless the fight is already manipulated. For now, it was still a good sport for me but not sure in the future if corruption and manipulation will at worse.

Besides, I don't bet just for money and winning opportunities but I bet in support of my favorite boxer. And since I am a sports lover, I don't mind if there is corruption inside as I enjoy watching the fight.
38  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No risk no gain on: May 20, 2024, 09:54:48 PM
When someone invests of course they will always be faced with risks and they must be able to understand well the investments they make in order to minimize the risks they will face in the investments they make, when we can learn from our previous failures of course this will give us good experience so that you don't repeat the same mistakes when you try again, in investing of course we have to have good planning so that we can get results in accordance with the targets we have set, because without good planning it will certainly be very difficult to carry out investments well.

One needs to have good enough knowledge to be able to minimize the risks attached to an investment because you can't have a good plan if you don't have enough knowledge, and you can only have enough knowledge if you spend enough time learning about the things you are going to get involved in.

Most people make this mistake when they are entering the cryptocurrency market, they are in a rush to make investments and start earning money and in this rush, they forget the most important thing which is to gain knowledge before they get started, and this makes them have a hard time.

If you gain enough knowledge beforehand, you won't face difficulties when you start making investments or trades.
A lack of preparation makes someone a fool and most likely end up losing their money. If this person never changes his style and market approach, I couldn't think about success but rather expect failure. Yes, we better look at our mistakes in the fast and make this a reason why we should be careful next time and give extra effort to study the market well because investing is not all about money but it is more about strategies and approaches. If some people lose their money because of a lack of knowledge, then we have to do something not to be like them. It is not difficult to do that since information is available already, we only need time and make it serious because every mistake we make can turn our investment fail.
39  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How you trade in uncertain times? on: May 20, 2024, 09:31:20 PM
We all know how volatile the market is right now especially since we are still near the all-time high. With sudden price swings and unpredictable trends, traders need to be ready with some strategies.
So, what strategies can you advise especially in protecting our capital, some technical analysis strategies? OR some diversification tactics between stablecoins, bitcoin, or altcoins?

Share some of your experiences or tips on effectively trading in these uncertain times.
What I did is that I keep myself focused on small earnings rather than hunting big. I take the opportunity to sell when there is a price increase and not wait for its peak, at least if I could make 1% of every successful trade, I'm already happy and feel safe. It is really a matter of choice of coins and I use different styles of trading depending on the situation. Sometimes we also apply holding especially in times of correction. We need to listen to the market movements and not all the time is good for trading, there is time also to pause and wait for the price to recover as it is difficult to trade when the trend is declining.

<< their 3 point shooting was really the problem in this game. Just    27% from 3's.....

That's what I also noticed, when the ROS shoots well, they likely win the game. Just like their game versus the TNT when they have a big lead at the beginning because of their great 3 point shooting, but the TNT had a big run in the 4th, lucky for ROS it does not translate to a win. Not only the 3 point shooting, I think they also need to improve their defense. It can't be denied that SMB is a very good team, but if DYIP were able to beat them in a game, then I guess ROS is capable of doing that also since this is a best of 7 series, more opportunity for them compared to the DYIP.
