2021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can this be the reason some people are afraid to invest in Bitcon? on: September 03, 2022, 09:27:11 PM
The typical human mind initially considers the fictitious drawbacks and rejects the possibility of another type of money. However, a growing number of individuals are visiting exchanges like Binance, Primexbt, Kraken, etc. People are afraid because they were taught to be afraid as child. This is, unfortunately, what the educational system does.

I am also a victim. Wish I had joined this forum earlier.


We were always taught from out parents or from educational institutions to always be careful with money.
So yes a mindset has always been drawn that when there is risk we shouldn’t invest any money. But people have forgotten the prime factor that when the risk is high, the return of investment is also great.
Nevertheless OP ,i can see your feelings that you are really upset, as you are not an early investor of the coin, so definitely you are feeling bad. But guess what currently Bitcoins price are best,so use this advantage and buy as many coins as possible.
Not literally that we’re afraid but rather we become worried and apprehensive in things that bring risks and are unsecured. This is why as a human nature, we tend to become somewhat fearful at first especially like bitcoin investment which most of us have no enough knowledge on it. We’re afraid to lose our money by not taking risks, not realizing that if we don’t take risks, there will be no gains also.
2022  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: September 02, 2022, 09:44:01 AM
There is a lot of speculation about Shakur, I really wouldn't know what to do with an eventual bet of this kind, when we go to see each other Conceicao is a very good boxer, and it's not for nothing, but I've liked the fights I've seen of him a lot, it is also hard and surely Conceicao will not want to surrender and fight with everything.

I am in telegram groups that are very active in boxing and have a lot of confidence in Shakur, so the odds will be very much in his favor, and this urges me to bet more on Conceicao because the profits that can be produced if the He wins sopn very big, of course I see this from the point of view of a bettor and at the same time as an athlete.

Robson is a decent boxer and can keep up with other excellent boxers in the league too that's why he got this far but the downside is that he have some limitations on how long he can keep up, we saw how he was defeated by Valdez while Shakur didn't have some much trouble defeating Valdez and we can see that the scores are quite wide to compare.

But I support you on your decision mate, Robson's odds is good if ever he wins in this fight but his chances are just slim. Anyway, we never know for sure because there has been lots of upsets lately.
2023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 02, 2022, 09:21:39 AM
Jake Paul has announced his next opponent is Anderson Silva. I think Jake might have but off a little more than he can chew this time. Sure, Silva is damn near 50 years old, but he’s got power that Jake hasn’t seen before. I like this fight. I’d rather have seen him fight Andrew Tate, but this was unexpected and a nice surprise.

looking at the two fighters I strongly believe that anderson silva will be victorious in this fight, that's because anderson silva had some boxing matches against strong opponents and he had a good performance, not to mention that the guy is an experienced MMA fighter, of course in boxing he can still be an amateur, but the fact that he fought in mma gives him some advantage over being more aggressive, being a person with good reflexes and knowing several fights, on the other hand we have Jake Paul who, despite being a young with some fights and victories against fighters who are also strong he is still young and doesn't have the fighting experience that anderson silva has. That's why for me anderson silva wins this fight, Jake Paul will definitely come out of this fight sad

You have some point there mate, I'll give you that. But aside from their experiences, we must not forget that Anderson Silva is not that young anymore to show how good his reflexes are just like what we've saw in his fights when he is still fighting professionally. Anderson Silva is almost 50 years old now, and that's one of the reasons why Jake Paul picked him as his next opponent, I mean Jake Paul wouldn't pick him if his chances on winning against the retired MMA fighter is literally slim.

Those lines you said made me think twice because Silva is truly a one of a kind fighter while Jake Paul is just starting his career in boxing, but as I said, Silva is already old enough for these matches and I believe that he only accepted this fight because he cannot reject good money that will be made in this fight and not because he is looking to show the world that he can still defeat young aspirants.
2024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Take This 2 Minutes Nine Step Quiz To Access Yourself In Gambling on: September 01, 2022, 05:47:22 PM
Have you assessed yourself on what kind of gamblers are you, this quiz which is a 2-minute nine-step quiz that will assess you on what kind of gamblers are you after you take the risk to be sure to answer the poll so the community will know how many of us here are Non-Problem Gambler, Moderate-Risk Gambler or High-Risk Gambler.

Quote
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.
Self Assessment Quiz

Well well well, here I thought I was a low risk gambler but it turns out I am not quite that careful with my money and my gambling habits. Roll Eyes

High risk gambler is now an attribute which that little quiz has given me.

Although I somewhat doubt the accuracy of that test, as it seems a bit too simple for any realistic assessment (it seems like more of a Facebook personality quiz, to be completely honest), it did make me reflect on my gambling strategy a bit harder. So thanks for that.


I feel you mate Grin this quiz also makes me anxious enough because I am also classified as a high-risk gambler like you, though this type of quiz doesn't really assess the real situation we are in towards our gambling activities but I can't take it off my mind because of the result I received and made me realize something to ease my activities.
2025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 01, 2022, 05:15:16 PM
It could have a rematch (even if there is no written clause in the initial contract), if the fight is going to be razor sharp close or maybe even in a draw.

But if it's a convincing win, then maybe not, but if there is a huge money involved then again, they could go and fight one more before going up in weight. So I guess the fans will also have a final say and maybe the promoters are going to take that lead from us if they see a demand for it.

That's true however both sides should secure a rematch clause to make sure that a rematch will happen soon if one will pursue it and so that no one will avoid. There will be demand for sure if the fight is close enough but a rematch won't be possible if one of them starts running after named as the undisputed boxer in welterweight division.

And it's possible to happen. We witness that with Mayweather after beating Pacquiao.

Didn't give Pacquiao a rematch to remain undisputed after winning all the belts. Not sure, but in my opinion this is also
been discussed and part of the negotiation.

If the losing side asks for a rematch or secures a rematch, it's a good rivalry to take place, a possible trilogy if in case
both of them win a fight right? looking forward to hear updates regarding to this upcoming fights.

Floyd Mayweather wasn't an undisputed champion in the welterweight division, he had all the belts except the IBF belt at that time because Kell Brook was the one holding it until he was defeated against Spence Jr. in 2016. But yes, Mayweather has many reasons at that time to make sure Manny Pacquiao won't have his chance for a rematch because Floyd knows that he won't be lucky anymore.

That's why having a rematch clause is really important especially for a big fight just like this one, an undisputed title is on the line together with the 4 belts. It will just end up like Mayweather-Pacquiao back in 2015.
2026  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 01, 2022, 04:43:57 PM
Haney for me will not let the victory he achieved in the first instance be taken away, I don't know, I haven't seen much news about Kamobosos, but I think he must be having one of the training sessions to go out and kill Haney, if this is so we could see that Haney's acknowledgment will make this look like they want to repeat and there will be rematches, if Kambosos wins, then Haney will ask for the rematch, and that's how they will go, that's why I say if this is won by Kamosos, it will make it very interesting, without However, I don't think this will happen, but everything is possible, I think that they can do a good job if both boxers go out with that desire to the ring.


Kambosos may be silent these days because of the trainings but he can't really change the fact that his chances to win is much smaller than Haney and the latter will indeed make sure that he will still win for the 2nd time around and keep the undisputed name with him along with the belts he earned. No offense for Kambosos fans here but I can't really see an upcoming trilogy and that means that Kambosos will get lost again and pave a way for Haney to Loma soon.

I agree, Kambosos is welcome to undergo to an intensive training to prepare well but he cannot really deny that Haney can and will dominate him in the ring just like he did in their first encounter. Kambosos is not a knockout specialist too so that makes defeating Haney much more complicated. He should try climbing the next division if in-case he get defeated here in their rematch.

I guess that will be one of his options when he will be defeated for the 2nd time against Haney, I mean what else he could do in the lightweight division if he doesn't hold any belts anymore? Ryan Garcia is already not interested in him anymore as the young boxer has put his eyes on Tank next, while Tank is also eyeing for Haney. So maybe if Kambosos climb the next division, he could face Teo Lopez again.

We've got some rumors about Carmelo Anthony. He's likely to go with the Boston Celtics. He's a potential signee for them.

I thought he will go to the Knicks, not sure how he will fit in Boston though, probably what he has given to the Lakers, off the bench and then maybe had a good shooting night, 20+ ppg in he stay with them throughout the season. And it's good to see still play and the Celtics need a veteran like him in the bench.

The Boston Celtics should just mind their own business and neglect the ongoing trades in the league, their present roster is already proven in any given circumstances and the fact that they are now an experienced team makes them more dangerous. What they should do is to improve and not add to it because it could potentially destroy what they've built.
Carmelo Anthony is without a doubt a good asset who averages double digits per game but he won't fit in the Celtics system.
2028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: August 31, 2022, 05:43:58 PM

^ Everyone is after the money. Top Rank wouldn't want Shakur to be wasted while he is young, they've be matching him to some average fighter until they earned   unimaginable amount.

Bettors is also what they are after and this one sided match is a money maker. Shakur is just too much of an accurate skilled fighter compare to Conceicao. And to make sure he wins, the fight its also going to be held in Shakur's hometown. He has all the advantage in this fight.



I guess that's why Bob Arum is always playing on top of the game as he knows how to make his boxers rise above and on top of that, knows how to make money. Right now, it's a good thing that Bob is welcoming change and lets his own boxers to have their chance to have a legacy in the industry like unifying all 4 belts.

Shakur has a bright future and Bob Arum will make sure that his boxer will be at the top of their game in their own respective division as that means he will keep on collecting profits from each fight they have.
2029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Commentary and commentators in sports. on: August 31, 2022, 05:14:51 PM
If there are no commentators who will accompany throughout the game, it will feel lonely and there will be no feeling at all because the presence of the commentator will entertain the audience more to listen to the predictions or observations of the commentators for the competing teams. We couldn't enjoy the game because we only saw each team play and there were no opinions or arguments from each of the commentators during the match.
They are truly part of the sports world since then ,I believe this is why commentators are always there to serve us best in our sports experiences , there are many sports that I experience watching when the sounds turned off? and yeah the game is not that exciting and not that understandable .,
I think there are no enjoyment when sports does not have commentary  and commentators .

They are there for a reason and that is to guide the viewers and keep them updated about what have happened because the viewers can't possibly follow all the movements in the game.  Commentators are so well that they can even see the tiniest bit of details that the viewers needed to know. Sports won't be that much exciting without these kinds of people and the industry won't hire them in the first place if there's no need for them to be there.
2030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Take This 2 Minutes Nine Step Quiz To Access Yourself In Gambling on: August 31, 2022, 04:13:10 PM
Took the quiz and I'm surprised that I got high-risk gambler even though I just gamble once or twice a month. Though I admit that I get greedy sometimes when my adrenaline is high telling me to play more ending of losing all my capital.

I don't know if the test is really accurate that I need to consult someone about my gambling habit because of the result because for me I don't consider myself that addicted yet that I gamble way more than I can afford to lose and only do it when I have spare amount of money.
Don't worry because some users above do also got an incorrect result. I think the quiz is highly sensitive and most of the questions being asked there will tag you as high risk gambler if you answer it as a yes. I don't know if every quiz/testing website is like that but it's better to depend on the real specialist about this matter if you are serious of knowing your status because they can do some physical testing, not just mental like taking a quiz.

I think all of us have gone to a point where we get aggressive or greedy in gambling but we overcame it all by ourselves and now we are only gambling for fun or playing to test our luck and see if we can win something.

The quiz wasn't really a real assessment to reveal our true situations towards gambling, and the results aren't that really accurate so it doesn't really matter if you fell under high-risk type of gambler or non-problematic type of gambler. The true assessment starts with ourselves and then what our close relatives/family/friends thinks about our situation.

2033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 30, 2022, 05:40:49 PM
I think that Westbrook will be able to play better if he can show a little more composer in his game.
He did not start the last season well if I recall correctly. But, towards the end of the season, he was coming back to form.
Well, he was not in a red hot form, to be honest. But he was certainly better compared to what he was doing at the start. There was a lot of criticism that he kept the ball too long to himself. Others said that he was not shooting as frequently as he should. I think if he can keep his composure and select the right passes, and also shoot with confidence, he will be able to play a lot better. Because that is what we expected from him. No one wants to see that much money just go to waste.
Westbrook had his worst season in the last few years. It seems to me that one of the main reasons is that he didn't worry about losing the ball on the court. If you check his stats, you'll see that it was normal for him to make 6-7 turnovers or even 10 turnovers per game. So I'm not sure if Westbrook has any motivation to play better right now. However, if he doesn't like everyone calling him Westbrick, then he should get a lot better in the upcoming season.
At this point, it actually feels like he is more of a burden for any team. Having him doesn't seem to be helping the team, nor is it helping that he fancies himself a world-class player. Since he is staying, I believe he will at least try to get along with the other players. He doesn't appear to have a very favorable relationship with the players, and I agree that he needs to become more productive. Otherwise, people are obviously going to call his names.

Well, that is indeed true because Westbrook is more of a liability rather than being an asset to help the team win more games per season or at least enhances the team's chances to win every game. The whole Lakers management surely regretted the day they acquired Westbrook because that cost them millions of dollars and this year Westbrook is said to have his final salary in Lakers with almost $50 Millions dollars, now that's an expensive mistake.
2034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto and Bitcoin began to be known by the rural community on: August 29, 2022, 08:59:28 PM
actually bitcoin and crypto are already known everywhere so no need to be surprised to see that, if I'm not mistaken it looks like this is one of the countries in Asia but I don't know where but I believe it's in Asia and as we know bitcoin and crypto are very well known too in the asia region
If it’s in the Asian region, then bitcoin and cryptocurrency is already known and popular even in provinces as people are still updated on it because there are now internet connections everywhere. But it’s my first time really to see bitcoin supporting local event like this as it’s always international events that it’s mostly covering. And since it’s happening already, then expect that there will be a lot more that will soon to happen which will be supported by bitcoin or other cryptocurrency.
2035  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can One Actually Do Crypto Trading As A Living on: August 29, 2022, 08:32:05 PM
I've heard of many people talk about cryptocurrency and its potentials all the time and at a point I begin to wonder if one can just depend fully on cryptocurrency as a means of livelihood.
Yes, crypto is not about trading because there's a lot of ways in cryptomarket where you can actually earn more which I have so many friends who are full time in cryptocurrency activities, they do trading, bounty and even managing a social account and they will get paid by that. You can only achieve this level once you already have good knowledge about cryptocurrency and same thing with trading, experience and trading is the key so if you are a newbie don't rush yourself to do full time, have some experience first and soon if you are already good enough, you can do full time in crypto, this will also depend on your dedication.
Relying alone on crypto trading for your livelihood is very much risky to think as the market won’t always be suitable to trade. However, if you also have skills aside from crypto trading as there are a lot of crypto jobs offered in the crypto world, then I must say that you will really make a good living until cryptocurrency is living its demand. But I suggest if possible, go and get a stable job first so that no matter what happens in crypto, your finances will never be affected completely.
2036  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Resisting the below twenty thousand level on: August 29, 2022, 08:12:48 PM
Usually "resistance" means resisting the growth, and "support" means not letting it fall below certain level. So while saying that Bitcoin is resisting the fall is correct, it sounds weird to people who used to understand resistance as "opposition to growth".

The $20k support is holding well for now, it's clear that there are groups who are interested in defending this important psychological level, but only time will tell if they will fully succeed or not. I wouldn't bet that this is the bottom of the bear market yet.
Knowing how unpredictable the value of bitcoin, no one can really tell if the present value is already the bottom of this bear market as a lot would still happen in the next possible months. Although $20k is much better than seeing its price drop further, but if there will be positive news that will support bitcoin, then there’s no reason that we will see bitcoin falling into its bottom price.

Bitcointalk is honestly overrated in terms of learning in general. It's great for having questions and discuss/debate certain news and topics, but if you're a beginner you're better off reading articles off the web.
Do not just focus on bitcointalk because if you want to improve your English speaking and writing skills, then learn from the available resources in the internet. However, bitcointalk may be a good avenue if you want to gain more insights on cryptocurrency and its volatile market, and the worldly economic issues that are now very visible these days. Other than that, if you want to improve your English, learn from the English vocabulary first and master them.
2038  Economy / Economics / Re: Education on: August 29, 2022, 05:02:54 AM
Education is not the only key to success anymore, then we all be believe that, if we don't go to school, we can't make it, the country is something else, we should find all means to be a successful person in life, education is good, but we have to find all means to make it, country which a graduate is riding bike, someone that spend thousands of naira to go to the school, is now riding bike, imagine,

So is always good to invest in once self, than working under someone, which you won't have time for yourself,

Just an advise

Education doesn't have to be the proverbial college/university or (insert institution of higher learning here). I'd argue that education is critical no matter the field you choose to go to. It's not that any of us knew about cryptocurrency inherently. There was a learning curve before diving into the industry, ie we educated ourselves/

You don't need college/university to be successful, but you do need an education in something, whether that be through self learning or the professional schooling route.
Education is still the best powerful weapon to shift from ignorance into being knowledgeable, regardless if you learned it from schools or just from people around who educated you. Although it won’t make you instantly successful, but by educating yourself you gained knowledge, skills and confidence and that give you an edge to achieve your goals in life through positive thinking.
2039  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Be a Bitcoin believer on: August 28, 2022, 09:42:33 PM
maybe a very big mistake if you choose a new altcoin because the new coin actually does not have definite clarity, especially not yet registered on the trading exchange, and does not yet have hype, in fact that is also the risk faced by every crypto investor who dares to lose if they want to make a profit.

A new altcoin with no clarity about the trading exchange and about its developer is a shitcoin that will only result in losses. Better to choose bitcoin is the right choice. If you really want to choose an altcoin, choose an altcoin that has been registered and trusted, such as ETH and BNB, there is no doubt anymore. Don't bet money just for new altcoins that are not clear.
However, a lot of investors still fall into altcoins and claim that they will be more profitable than bitcoin. And when they start losing, that’s the time that they will realize that bitcoin is definitely the perfect choice for investment. But there are also good altcoins that have sustained their value for long and when bitcoin reaches its new ATH, these established altcoins also benefited. That way, they become profitable too because of bitcoin.

I am very disappointed with the state of Bitcoin in the current market. Because last week its price was 24000 dollars but now it shows 21 thousand dollars.
You are disappointed with the market trend of Bitcoin because you don't understand how it works. Bitcoin price operated in a 4years cycle and we're currently in the market winter season which is also the best entry time and I will advise you to make use of the market dump in price advantage and hold till the next halving market ( which will happen in 2024) instead of you beating yourself on something you can never change.

I want to know from you, is the price of Bitcoin likely to fall further?
Yes, the price of Bitcoin will likely dump in the future market and I expect BTC to achieve its bottom price during Q4.
Bitcoin price will never settle into a fixed value, it’s price will always fall further because of the fact that it’s highly volatile. However, you should not worry about this OP because bitcoin will never stay in a low value the whole time, it has its own right timing to recover and skyrocket again. But if you keep being bothered every time the price drops, I guess you should study more about the concepts of bitcoin so you will understand its market price moves.
