Mnemonic are safe but your computer is not so most probably your friend pc got compromised and that’s why he get hacked. Hackers can’t get your money unless you publicly post the details of your wallet or you downloaded a malware that can get your informations easily. That’s too back to get hacked, and a costly lesson to be learned. Well, better to secure your wallet and make it your outmost priority.
I'd see this stance happens mostly to those who lose their private keys or Mnemonic. It is very understandable that once our PC has been attacked by malware, it was easy for the hackers to control on it. Things that we need to keep in mind - there is no safety assurance storing our password/keys in the computer as it was advisable to right it dows in a paper for more safety. Definitely, there is no problem with the Mnemonic, in fact, many people are using this. The problem is that the one who manage to keep those stuff. Usually we neglect to do it.
2102  Economy / Speculation / Re: What’s going to make Bitcoin turn from a downward to an upward trend? on: October 21, 2022, 01:06:18 PM
I agree Bitcoin can go to about $12000 - $15000 downwards. Check out this link for what’s going to make it turn to an upward trend again. I think this is the most accurate answer I’ve gotten so far

It is a sort of underestimating the market and it is because nobody is capable enough to move the market wherever he/she wants to go. We can manipulate some coins at it move temporarily but if we talk about Bitcoin, you simply never think about in a decentralized project like this. It was just an assumption that barely not to happen in real scenario. Bitcoin move freely, it pump and it dumps depending on the market situation and demand and supply, not because of someone is controlling on it.

SMB Beermen vs Converge at the moment and the Beermen is trying to catch up the lead of Converge, 57-70 is the score in favor of Converge. Looks like this game is in the bag for the Fiberxers.

SMB even led in the 4th quarter but they still could not win against the converge. What happened to the SMB, they used to be a good team, do they really miss JMF that hard? Bad bet for those who think SMB will win, close game but SMB still lose.

Yeah, they fall short this time, I think they need a better import because their imports production is even lower compared to the locals like CJ Perez and Tautuaa. Better luck next time again, it's still too early but we've seen already that they cannot win without JMF.  Smiley

Westbrock had 2 points in 23 minutes ? What a joke. How can they allow this ? They are being paid with millions and he cannot trow and make some buckets ? I think the problems in Lakers teams are going deeper between them and I think the only solution for this team to move on , is to let some players to leave as soon as possible because if they stay in this format , play-offs are a very hard achievement.

Not sure how to answer your question, but yeah, Westbrook is not really looking good with the Lakers since he joined them. I guess there are too many alphas on Lakers.

Both good games last night, Giannis still showing his form against the Sixers and almost got a triple double.

While the Clippers looks sharp against the Lakers although there are some moments that the Lakers took the lead.

Westbrook is the most expensive player of the Lakers depth. He is really the guy and not James. But this is James fault am I right? He demanded at the Lakers management to ship Westbrook back in the day? And because it was a disappointment, and James cannot be fired, it was the coach that received the punishment.


Second season in lakers prove that he's not really worth the money and his performance is totally awful seeing how perform today. For sure he will be the main focus of bashing now since he doesn't improve from last season and it became more worse at the moment. For sure for the salary for by Westbrook and to his bad performance shown for sure Lakers will get a huge problem to get rid of him since for sure no team will gonna accept a problem to their team.

I think the problem is the Lakers coaching staff, they were not able to manage Westbrook well that's why his stats have dropped. Let us not forget that Westbrook will be soon a hall of famer, and he was very impressive playing with the Rockets and the Wizards, it's only with the Lakers that he struggled, so I believe he is not the problem.

3.If the crypto winters continues and the BTC price drops below 10K USD, will 30% of the Canadians by BTC by 2024? I don't think so.
Don't get me wrong. I still believe in Bitcoin and the 2024-2025 bull market, but I don't believe such surveys and I don't trust people's opinions.

Though we don't trust people's opinion but seems great to respect them as well and disreagard those we think it is not usefull.
A lot of people can make there baseless market predictions but I think OP have the reason to say that there is a better opportunity in crypto in future particularly in Bitcoin. Is this really believable? I think yes and we already witness its potential and on how it grow from scratch to something even more valuable than gold. But in the situation you have cited, doubts can be possible for the Canadians and possibly withdraw their plan to invest.
2106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why ETH price keeps decreasing? on: October 21, 2022, 08:51:28 AM
I saw some people expecting a price increase after The Merge was successful, but the fact is that the market doesn't work like that, Bitcoin can influence the price movement of Altcoins, because the market capitalization of Bitcoin is bigger than altcoins, there are many factors why the price of ethereum goes down, but the main factor is the market situation.
The dump in inevitable, no one knows about it until it comes. Like we expect a price rally after the merge but too unfortunate the it works in an opposite way making a lot of people waiting become disappointed. Though I understand their feellings, however, we can't blame the market and even the merge bcause there are a lot of factors affecting the price. Remember that we are in bear season, we have not expect such a rally but obviously a dip. Might say the merge is in imperfect timing and this is how it looks like after.
2107  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Metaverse still a thing on: October 20, 2022, 11:23:11 PM
I wish this could be a successful attempt but we have also been taught about the failure of metaverses that lose the confidence of the investors and hard to trust them back again. I see how the Facebook founder tried to cover it up but couldn't be enough to please the community. Though it was too early to think about it and said "a thing in the future", however, I would say that Metaverse will have to show something first before it happens. And prove that they are worth trusting, in that case, we can conclude that it will hit the taste of the people.
2108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo on: October 20, 2022, 12:33:49 PM
I am surprised no one is talking about this here yet, I guess it's probably because no one really knows who DK Yoo is(even I don't know who he is).

I saw the announcement for this fight in my social media newsfeed but don't bother to create a thread on this forum as I'm not a fan of exhibition matches because most of the bookies won't cover exhibition fights but on the side, it will also be good to see Manny back in the ring again to see if where he is at now in terms of speed and power or can he knock out his opponent.

For sure DK Yoo's (don't know him also) popularity will skyrocket by just facing Manny and also his followers will increase depending on the outcome of this fight.

That's for sure, and hopefully, he will be alright after this fight, if this is a scripted exhibition fight, he will be safe but if Pacman will fight like a pro, he might hurt DK Yoo and that gained of followers will be useless if he will be heavily injured.
2109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 20, 2022, 11:56:57 AM
Tomorrow we have SMB vs Converge, I'm leaning on the SMB here as I believe they will bounce back from the embarrassing loss against the Dragons.

I'm still waiting for the betting odds but I'm sure SMB will be the favorite here, hopefully not the heavy favorite so I will be tempted more to bet on them. By the way, the first game are DYIP and Bay Area Dragons, I know it will be boring that's why I didn't tough it.
2110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the US being too hard on crypto? on: October 20, 2022, 09:55:30 AM
No country has a clear stance on cryptocurrency. They give different kinds of blessings one at a time. The situation in the United States is also obscure. But they are thinking about it. I think many people want to use crypto as a global diplomatic issue. For example, a few days ago when Russia was restricted from various issues, crypto was going through a big challenge. And in world politics, when someone leave from crypto, someone else keeps it as seen between China and America.
People give more trust to crypto when they see support from the government which could eventually increase adoptions but what we see is a little bit different, many countries are opposing this due to some reasons. Like the US, restrictions have to expect from them due to battling against crimes, it was their views towards crypto but some countries, look at crypto as an opportunity for their people and improve their economic system. Might their stance towards crypto is not acceptable my many but we can't urge them to change it knowing their powers when it comes to politics.
2111  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Too risky to leave BTC right now on: October 20, 2022, 09:28:03 AM
It's way too risky to be out of bitcoin right now because people are calling for 10,000$ per Bitcoin before they will start buying,  it sounds like when people are calling for 100,000$ per BTC months ago and the opposite happened, now people are calling for 10k again, the opposite might happen again, the best way to deal with this is start buying BTC every week, maybe on Mondays? This way you will feel better.....remember, when people are calling for the exact same thing the opposite always happens.

Do not sit back and do nothing
You may be right and at the same time, you may be wrong, even though people are calling for a $10,000 price that does not translate into an uptrend price. The opposite doesn't always happen in most cases but again in some cases, it may happen.
But when it comes to Bitcoin price speculation we should always try to bring in some data analysis before arriving at any conclusions, but all I see with this kind of statement, are just predictions and nothing else.
I'd say he is wrong, he is just listening to the call of others but never checking the market. What OP does is just a sort of baseless market assumption and it obviously far from the possible trend to happen. In fact, people are not calling for a huge drop but for the pump and ATH, looking forward to seeing Bitcoin reaching $100,000 is what they aim for. And I'm not sure where OP get this...

2112  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Leaving your coins on exchanges on: October 19, 2022, 02:51:26 PM
Everything you've said OP is right and even mostly what we heard from experts. But, it was our discretion to take the risk or not, or simply follow what the others said because, in the end, it was also for our safety.

Sometimes, I was holding my coins on the exchanges but never I keep there for too long, 1 week is the longest day I ever made. But if we use this as a storage wallet, that is what I called it - a risky decision.
2113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: And officially worst year for investors on: October 19, 2022, 02:24:14 PM
2022 is going to be the worst year for crypto investors. Any thoughts guys?
Might say the hard times in crypto but not the worst year ever, we never know in the coming year or in the next bear season. But as my assessment of the market now, it was just like in the past which also creates some panic selling and big sell-off from doubters and impatient individuals. It could be somewhat difficult for the starters to think about it and not earning fast from their investment but for us who have been here for many years and had experienced several price drops, we can say it was just a normal market condition.
2114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: October 19, 2022, 12:12:33 PM
Haney was smart because he made the right adjustment, but when Haney adjusted, Kambosos should also counter it, but it didn't happen, he stick with his strategy despite the fact that Haney had already read it, Kambosos was lucky that Haney is not a KO artist, if he was, that fight would certainly end in KO.

I think the outcome would be different if Haney is a knock-out artist as he will be the aggressor and prone to Kambosos' counters just like what happened to Teofimo Lopez. Haney's style has brought him this far and the only downside of his style is how to draw a large crowd to watch his fights because, to be honest most of the fans are not excited to watch his fights.
It could be mate because Haney will definitely not try to be aggressor round 3 up to the last round. Maybe he felt that Kambosos has no power in him, as he can eat everything that George throw and then he shows that somewhat he has some when he beat Kambosos to the punch and then batter him the full 12 rounds causing Kambosos face to swell and cut with blood. But if George has power, like le't say Ryan Garcia, it could be a different outcome and strategy for Devin Haney and his team as they will have to avoid that power punches and he could be more defensive.
That was also the only time I saw that Haney was very aggressive, he was supposed to play safe and stay technical all throughout the game, but maybe he knows that fans does not like that style, they want an entertaining one, so Haney just trying to please the fans and indeed he won.

Just be mindful since anything can happen just like how bossing upset SMB, who knows, maybe the next thing we see it's DYIP time to upset a super team..

But Blackwater this conference is not anymore a bad team, maybe they are below in ranking but they also win games in the all Filipino cup. DYIP is in a different state, it seems like they are finding a win which until now they still could not see one.
2116  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin may drop to $15k or so but it'll definitely hit $300k+ in coming years on: October 18, 2022, 01:12:15 PM
That's just my thoughts. Maybe by 2024, unless all hell breaks loose.

As long as internet keeps chugging along though, BTC will prevail. Smiley
Well, I respect your market opinion and views but you overly speculated the market. Though we can say it was just a sort of market speculation, no one cares about it but at least it was even closer to reality because saying reaching $300k is impossible. I was positive about the coming bull season but never I think the price of Bitcoin will reach that high, it was more than a bullish price to imagine. In fact, even experts are just saying it reaches $100k, maybe that is even better and close to what will happen exactly.
2117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk is one of the keys to be 100k$ per Bitcoin? on: October 18, 2022, 12:42:12 PM
As much as i want to agree with you on this one, I don't like how Musk carries on with his business because he positions himself to be  judge, jury & executioner and for  bitcoin to grow it doesn't need someone that fits his profile as his the kind of person that can put the last nail on btc, which means we need to stay away from him asap!!!

But what i would love to see from Musk is him shilling an altcoin like he did for dogde and bitcoin can indirectly benefit from him.
Despite the thing you don't like him much but you have nothing to do as he does not care for you as well. In this world, manipulation is going strong, politicians, celebrities, and those in the government position, are the people who make use of it. And it was because they have the capacity to do just like Elon Musk in crypto. Perhaps, we never really know about him in personal but we know him because of his influence in social media and I see his participation in crypto give a huge impact on the situation.
2118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 18, 2022, 09:36:44 AM
Isn't it that Poole has already signed a contract for them with a 4-year deal? Or it's possible that they may trade him with a higher contract from other teams if some teams want him?

Is that how things work for these contracts and there's an option for the management to do that type of deal?
Jordan Poole has 1 more year in his old contract with GSW.
What happened was a contract extension already waiting to be signed, or it was signed already.

https://www.spotrac.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/jordan-poole-31587/
It's a big one. So obviously they won't be extending Draymond Green's extension because that will be a huge luxury tax if they do so.

About the trade, I think they put more value on Jordan Poole so they can trade him if they want for an equal value with other teams.
That means they can get a better player/s in exchange for just one.

Very well said, at the moment, Poole is more valuable than Draymond Green because he can produce points for the team, and the fact that he is still young, that means he will continue to develop his talent until he becomes a legit superstar. People were saying that Poole looks like the young Steph Curry, so if he will live to that expectation, what we are seeing on Poole is that he will become a hall of famer someday.
2119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: October 18, 2022, 09:04:57 AM
But Crawford can also move up to 154 and hunt for his 4th division title but he seriously needs a promoter to depend on.   

And of course he can find a promoter if he wants to, the job of the promoter is to sell the fight, and since Crawford is already popular and a champion, every promoter will sure be willing to invest on him.

As you haven’t mentioned any fix time to archive that goal of 70x from $100, it's possible but need patient cause no project will give you that return overnight. Thats rare case but all depends on how smartly you manage your investment. Some shitcoins may gives you hope but never go with them cause they are aiming to scam people by flying their shit coins shortly. Good project need time to develop for giving such return but possible
Though it was possible as you have said but this is only happening to hyped projects as you no longer found it to potential coins. I'd see no wrong in having this mindset and goal but I was not sure if we can manage to wait that long or luckily find the project that gives you that x70. Instead, make ourselves contented from a small profit but at least it was a continuous earning like having x2 monthly, it was more than that x70. Or, increase capital to earn more as another option.
