2041  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The best altcoin to look out for on: January 09, 2023, 12:27:45 PM
I already have many altcoins on my list but I am starting to doubt more. I already have a long list of altcoins since last year but so far I only have ETH, BNB, and very tiny amounts of other altcoins. Syscoin is one of my main priorities to buy in the first quarter of this year. If you ask me why just look at their historical price. Cheesy Another thing that comes to my mind are projects for decentralized social media, metaverse, and then the play-to-earn games. There are always room for improvements and this year we will be getting some innovations of projects that failed to work in the last years like play-to-earn games.

That's cool mate. But you are not quitting your job in order to become a trader right? You should only do trades in your free time. If you are getting confident after a week of trading then maybe try to increase your capital to $100. Always start small and only increase it little by little depending on your confidence. You can feel it anyways but do not get too overexcited because the crypto market can swing big time. A single losing trade can erase your whole month of hard-earned profit. Take your time because there is no such thing as late when it comes to trading. There are always opportunities when you become a good trader.
2043  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your opinion on the future of Decentralised exchanges on: January 09, 2023, 11:47:06 AM
The future of decentralized exchanges will grow but centralized exchanges will continue to grow too. The features offered by centralized exchanges are just way too good that it is hard to stop using them. People learning from the previous tragedies of FTX and others will continue to use centralized exchanges but they will not store big amounts as before. Active traders will be the only ones that will leave their funds in centralized exchanges. I am sorry but active trading on decentralized exchanges isn't as convenient as centralized exchanges.
2044  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How profitable it is possible to invest in bitcoins in the new year 2023. on: January 09, 2023, 11:26:18 AM
Welcome to the world of bitcoin mate. 2023 is a good start in investing in bitcoin. Make a DCA or dollar-cost-averaging, I am buying bitcoin monthly. Take note that next year is already the halving year. There are no bad years in the halving history of bitcoin. And it is always the following year after the halving that the price of bitcoin reaches higher than its halving year. My plan is to buy bitcoin monthly until the halving year only.

But before investing. Of course, you need to learn and understand what is bitcoin. It is also a must that you understand how to secure your bitcoins as there are a lot of scammers online. Avoid entertaining direct messages from strangers since everything you need to ask is available in this forum.
2045  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If Luck Was Measured In Percentage, Rate Your Luck In 2022 From 0-100 on: January 08, 2023, 06:28:55 PM
I had about just a little above 30% luck in gambling in 2022, though my own money management is to withdraw immediately I made some profits leaving some little fund in my betting site, thereafter continue betting with the remaining fund at times I do blew up the balance and deposit some fund to start betting all over again, however in the long I made some little profits, though I took a little break after rekting my account in the last quarter of last year, I am planning to resume betting any moment from now and coming back better after some thorough research and hoping to get better luck this year.

We are in the same situation as last year. I have nearly the same win rate ratio. Luck was not on our side last year, so I guess our luck will be this year. Continues losing on bets can lead to personal problems but luckily for some of us who's been here for many years, we became responsible gamblers and learned a lot about the nature of gambling and we survived the struggles in the past. The golden rule is to always gamble money we can afford to lose and that gambling is a form of entertainment and not earning for living purposes.
2046  Economy / Economics / Re: Effect of the FIFA world cup on Qatar's economy on: January 08, 2023, 05:43:13 PM
I would not call Qatar's ambitious hosting of the World Cup a losing one. The moment they bid and commit to spending hundreds of billions of dollars means they do not care about financial profit in the specific event. Qatar has the vision to modernize and tries to balance its economy from oil and gas dependence. It wanted to become a tourist attraction like Dubai and a financial hub like Singapore. Tiny Qatar also wanted to play a role in the world, be it in politics, sports, or anything under the sun. Government-owned Qatar Airways is always at the top as the best airline in the world. The new Qatar railway is also one of the best in the world. Al Jazeera is becoming a mainstream channel in many parts of the world.

2048  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what price would you sell? on: January 08, 2023, 03:49:05 PM
So far I am not even thinking about what the price of bitcoin should I sell. I haven't even transferred some of my losing stock investments into bitcoin. I am still occupied by the excitement and determination to accumulate more while the price is still low. Maybe I will not sell them unless I need to use the money but I am hoping to hold it as long as I can. My primary goal is to earn life-changing profits out of it and not the small gains from small and temporary pumps.

Another plan to maximize my bitcoins is to trade. Maybe I will start trading again this year.

al haymon from pbc ruined a lot of fights

It is not just Al Haymon that ruined many potential fights since boxing became a big sport. But I agree with you. In the first place, Al Haymon created PBC to become a separate organization like the UFC. Its intent was to create its own championship belts too. Many of its fighters are influenced by Floyd Mayweather Jr. which means focusing only on the business aspect rather than building a legacy.

PBC is just new to boxing and is less than 10 years of operations but it already destroyed and prevented a lot of big fights. PBC prevented us from seeing the huge AJ vs Wilder clash when they were both undefeated and the winner could've been the first-ever undisputed heavyweight in this 4-belt era. PBC also didn't respond nor sent counter-offers to Bob Arum of Top Rank in order to stage Crawford vs Spence for the welterweight undisputed belts. There are too many potential fights I can mention but these 2 are the biggest and could've been historic fights if PBC is cooperative and not scared and selfish. 

I think PBC's Al Haymon managed to be one of the biggest promoter in the boxing industry because of his connections and intent to bring the boxer to the top as long as they have skills required. Aside from that, PBC offers good guaranteed money per fight that's why lots of boxers preferred to be in his stable. Spence and Charlo won't be staying with Al Haymon if they don't have any benefits from it.
PBC is indeed one of the biggest in boxing. PBC has the biggest talents in welterweight and light-middleweight, the same reason Crawford (formerly from Top Rank) is stacked after successfully winning belts from lightweight to light-welterweight. I am curious to know the exact numbers but it should be PBC, Matchroom, and Top Rank having the most world champions at the moment. When it comes to talent and skills, I think Top Rank continues to dominate it having Fury, Inoue, Haney, Shakur, Josh Taylor, etc. But in terms of budget, I believe PBC is the 2nd having partnered with Showtime and Fox. Matchroom partnered with DAZN has the biggest budget with many cash cows like Canelo, Joshua, and Usyk. Top Rank partnering with ESPN is coming 3rd but it is pretty impressive that it has the deepest talents in boxing right now. Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions remained alive and should be 4th with its partnership with DAZN. GBP was beating Top Rank before and became the biggest promotion before being tricked which gave birth to PBC which then took nearly all of its big names and champions. After that, GBP lost Canelo to Matchroom as well.

In the past, there was only HBO and Showtime competing and there were no exclusive deals with the promoters. A promoter can sell a fight to either of the networks. Nowadays there are 3 giant networks DAZN, Showtime, and ESPN and they have exclusive deals with their promoters. So aside from the Mayweather Jr. effects which focus mostly on money, it is more difficult for fighters from different sides to reach a deal since the networks will have their say too and there are also promotional rivalries.

So the Utah Jazz continues to shop and lobby its players that step up in an incredible early season performance. Obviously, Utah Jazz wants a better chance of getting this year's potential top pick, the 19-year-old Victor Wembanyama. And its supposedly rebuilding roster is still fighting in the top 8 playoff spot which isn't beneficial for Utah's real goal. In late December, they rejected a proposal to send Malik Beasly and Jarred Vanderbilt to the struggling Phoenix Suns. Utah wanted more future first-round picks for these guys. At present Utah has to step up its shopping because the trade deadline is approaching. They still have tradeable valuable assets like Clarkson, Markannen, Vanderbilt, Sexton, and Beasly if they want to lose more games this season for the Wembanyama lottery and to add more future draft picks. So far Utah already has a whooping 7 future first-round draft picks.
2052  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gervonta Davis VS Hector Luis Garcia SAT, JAN 07, 2023 on: January 08, 2023, 01:33:45 PM


I would be impressed if they gave Hector Garcia a minimum of 2 months to prepare. With less time to prepare while Tank was obviously training already, it is hard to imagine an upset. Although I would love Hector to score an upset.

PBC people and its partners always try to hype Tank's PPV events to their loyal followers. Here's the face-off where Tank tried to scare Hector Garcia. https://fb.watch/hT_cJYUb-2/

I don't want upset to happen not this time I want Gervonta to face Ryan Garcia still undefeated and fresh from his win against Hector Garcia, Gervonta will try to inculcate fear in Ryan Garcia by knocking him out, obviously in their Face-off Hector is very reluctant to engage in a thrash talk, he prefers to do his thing in the ring.
I just hope he can offer resistance against Tank but of course Tank will eventually win.

As you wished. The fight ended with another stoppage in favor of Tank. I don't even know if it was the real strategy of Hector if he was given the right time to train which is 2 to 3 months. He was supposed to give be more active in the early rounds and bully the slow starter Tank with his jabs. Maybe Hector was saving energy in order to survive in the late rounds which is unusual because he is not a KO artist and is used to fighting in long rounds.

Anyways, we will see if the Tank will really face Kingry. It will be the battle of the top cherry-pickers in boxing. Although Kingry is not yet a world champion so maybe it's an excuse to fight nobodies and has-beens. Kingry canceling his tune-up bout makes him nearly a year inactive if he faces Tank in April or onwards. Honestly, I do not see Kingry winning against Tank.

From playing at online casinos to sports betting, last year was a bust for me. I think I only won around 35% of my total bets. Luckily I am not the same person anymore that does revenge bets which were proven to further widen my losses in the past. Late in the year, I lowered the amount of bets further and I do not have daily bets anymore.

Hopefully, this year is a better one. So far I am 1-1 with a slight loss. Maybe we should focus on a few sports only so we will have more time to research and analyze games.  
2054  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could this be the bottom of Bitcoin? on: January 07, 2023, 06:16:20 PM
I think so. Bitcoin has already gone to the bottom. Although it didn't take long before people and various institutions realized to start buying the dip. There are too many investors and newbies that want to buy bitcoin at the lowest price. Do we have some people here that expected bitcoin to drop to $10k or even lower? But what if bitcoin won't drop again to $15k? We better accumulate bitcoin by dollar cost averaging it. This is also the same reason why I am not affected by the movement of bitcoin. If it drops, I have the chance to lower my buying average and my future earnings will be higher too.
2055  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [Poll] What are the safest platforms? on: January 07, 2023, 05:56:13 PM
I voted for Binance and Kucoin. All centralized exchanges have the chance to follow the route of FTX. But I also believe that many centralized exchanges learned from the past and are improving their services. They are trying to become transparent to their users to avoid fear and stop their investors from withdrawing their funds. Binance established itself as the biggest and is becoming uncontested when it comes to daily trading volume. I also followed the rise of Kucoin from its humble beginnings to becoming one of the top and solid exchanges in crypto.
2056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 07, 2023, 05:14:13 PM
Somehow, we as basketball fans would like to see again Lebron James playing in the post season, but we cannot just get ahead because their current roster will not probably get the chance to play at the playoffs considering how inconsistent they are, and players aren't that willing to step-up if there's a situation that needed them to be at the best version of themselves. So far, they are making an improvement, but I still doubt it.

They needed to make a move in this upcoming trade because if they won't then it's best to assume that they won't going to reach far enough, if they will get lucky, they will just probably get eliminated in the 1st round or worse in the play-in tournament.

At least they are showing some signs of life. We are still halfway through the season, so if they can get a move for a key player that can help them, there is still a chance that we will see them in the playoffs. Schroeder, Westbrook, Bryant, and Walker are really showing some improvements. They are just a key player away from being really good. And if AD and Lebron stays healthy, their bid is pretty much alive.
I believe Anthony Davis and the rest of the injured players can return within this season which means the Lakers are still alive. But I also doubt their ability to reach deep in the playoffs. They really need a change before the All-Star period if they want to compete with the likes of Boston, Denver, Milwaukee, and the other title-favorite teams. The Lakers' approach this season though is conservative when they were reluctant to offer their future first-round picks. Lebron on the other hand seems to lose his magic spell in recruiting other players and convincing them to accept low salaries.

2058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde on: January 07, 2023, 04:18:38 PM
So Anthony Yarde is getting pointers and advice from the legendary multiple-champion Oleksandyr Usyk. We will see if Yarde will be able to utilize it. I watched all the 3 amateur fights between Usyk and Beterbiev a long time ago where the former has a 2-1 standing. Iirc they were all close fights and Usyk was hurt several times including getting knocked down once or twice. So Usyk may not be the perfect guy to solve the Beterbiev puzzle but at least he was able to give the heavy bomber some problems with his superior movements. But can Yarde emulate the lateral movements of Usyk or is he capable of moving for a full 12-round fight? 

Yarde Says Usyk Gave Him Advice Ahead of Beterbiev Showdown

I hope that advice will help him, if I were Yarde, I would not stick completely to that advice and just have my own strategy to beat Artur Beterbiev. If Usyk is having trouble beating Artur Beterbiev, then it should not be easy for Yarde. Bettors would have a massive payout if this will turns out to be an upset win by Yarde.

I'm just saying something, if someone like Usyk gives Yarde advice, that's something very good and also privileged, as far as I'm concerned receiving advice from legends is something that is quite important, I don't know, but Beterbiev is a very good fighter. big and has a lot of technique and strategies to the maximum, that is something that can happen, according to what I have seen Beterbiev is a fighter who sometimes when he fights is seen as very violent, almost as if he lost control, so I think that for Usyk's advice can go there, of course this is something that I personally speculate about what could happen, however I know that it will give you advice much further.

Beterbiev working like a Trojan in preparation for Yarde

Quote
WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs) will defend his titles against Anthony Yarde (23-2, 22 KOs) on Saturday, January 28 at Wembley’s OVO Arena. in London.

Yarde, 31, says he has grown and improved as a fighter, since he lost to Sergey Kovalev and Lyndon Arthur and sees Beterbiev, 37, as an opponent he can defeat.

Source: https://wbcboxing.com/en/beterbiev-working-like-a-trojan-in-preparation-for-yarde/
Yes, Yarde is lucky and privileged to receive tips from someone that is in the future Hall-of-Fame and someone that fought Beterbiev 3 times in the amateurs. Although there were changes already as Beterbiev improved. But somehow they didn't fight like kids since they were already in their 20s at that time. Anyways, we will soon find out since the fight is already in 3 weeks' time.

I find it weird for the article comparing Beterbiev to a Trojan. Didn't the Trojans lose to the Greeks as they were being outsmarted? Cheesy

For somebody with no trading experience, it is better to study first the basics of trading. And then you study the movements of some selected coins like bitcoin. You better stay away from jumping to different coins because charts are not enough to determine the movements of their prices. Look at the history of the top 5 coins in Coingecko and check their charts. You will notice that they can drop deeper than 15%. Bitcoin alone who's considered the most valuable and safest among cryptocurrencies dipped from $60k down to $15k late last year.

It might feel easy to think about earning thru trading. So the best way is to experience it for real. I am not a fan of demo trading accounts so put in $100 and do actual trades while learning the basics.

I have really learnt a lot from these discussions. They are really an eye-opener, I must say .. Crypto will give millions of people that much needed financial freedom.

There are no guarantees. So far it is bitcoin and a few chosen altcoins that continue to remain steady at the top. Bitcoin is of course the safest among all cryptocurrencies. Ethereum's future may not be that secure after it shifted to POS. BNB is also at risk after the sudden collapse of FTT due to the fraudulent activities of FTX, another huge exchange like Binance. And let us be clear that bitcoin is a currency, it may stabilize in the future just like the US dollar. But for now, bitcoin still has a big room for growth as there is only a low percentage of the world population that owns a portion of it.
