2121  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin dump, Ethereum pump! on: October 08, 2021, 01:07:55 PM
Some time ago, this really happened and interestingly Ethereum got a pump while Bitcoin was having a hard time increasing. But now, we see them going parallel to each other. There is a big run in the market lately. Bitcoin and Ethereum both have benefited from this a lot so far. But Ethereum still couldn't have the amount of increase that we expected while Bitcoin were rising a lot.

Yes but that's rare occasion, I cant' remember what really cause of that, maybe investors are just shifting funds to ETH because of too much FUD on BTC that time, or there is really some good news on ETH that investors pouring a lot of money in their market.

But still, everything is base on BTC, so when we have a big rally just like we witnessing in the past week, majority of the ALTS also enjoyed a uptick in the price. Next stop for BTC is $60k and then ETH $4k, not that bad because of a super fast bull run.
We've just moved on from the past and look the better trend this year and for the incoming. And I'd never think this gonna happen again. I'd look on the side where ETH mostly following the trend of Bitcoin, it is something we have to see again and again rather than moving in a different direction. Maybe in some cases that the impact of Bitcoin on the market is a delay but that might not be the case as for sure sooner or later, it will still follow then.
2122  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - October 5 on: October 08, 2021, 12:13:58 PM
Both fighters already receive the easy money Cheesy

Quote
Lopez and Kambosos would each receive decent paydays from the initial Triller deposit of $1.2 million, with Lopez receiving $780,000 and Kambosos receiving $420,000, ESPN reported. A lawsuit by the two fighters against Triller could potentially net them more money, closer to the original payments of $3,911,700 to Lopez and $2,106,300 to Kambosos that would have come from the original bid of $6.018 million. Then, if the Matchroom bid of $3.506 million winds up bagging the fight, Lopez will receive $2,278,900 and Kambosos would net $1,227,100 from Matchroom.
Source.

Triller is a new player, and this is their expensive lesson if they want to continue in the boxing business. Anyway, it's unfortunate that this fight takes too much time to be realized, and with the new promoter, next month would be the earliest date since they need to prepare the venue etc. Perhaps late Nov or early Dec.

Yes, and it shows that even though they won the bid and the infrastructure to commit to this fight, due to their inexperience, they've lost a chunk of money in the end.


We can never tell it will be realized until the fight will happen, lots of controversies on this fight and honestly, I don't want to expect anymore, if they will fight the better but it's not making me excited anymore. Well, they have to fight, and let's see if Kambosos could pull an upset on the one who beat Lomachenko.


Quote
So nothing is lost for both fighters, they will still be rewarded handsomely, and then they can go punch each other, literally. December will not that bad, at least the long overdue fight will be realized now.
They lost time as they could have more fights this year if the fight was not canceled.
2123  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 08, 2021, 11:19:12 AM

Lets watch the second game: SMB VS. TNT Smiley.

Here we go again, looks like I already see this scenario where TNT leads in the 1st half but they will allow SMB to roar back in the 2nd half. So far, TNT has a good double-digit lead but the result is always unpredictable because we can't conclude yet that SMB will not come back anymore.

Very similar in game 2, 25-41 is the score now, TNT has been dominating so far but we know that SMB is a good 2nd half team, so we should watch out for the bounce back in the 2nd half. I guess I will put my bet on SMB to win in the 3rd quarter as TNT would not give everything they have so they still have energy left in the 4th quarter which is the quarter that they lost in game 2.

End of the first half and TNT lead by 12 points as usual. SMB can't play catch-up basketball every time, they should make it a close game as long as possible and not down by two-digit. Odds for SMB is 3.20 at the moment, attractive for those who believe the Beermen could catch up with the Katropa in the second half.
They have to start going back in the 3rd quarter, it's not necessary that they will take the lead but to trim the lead of TNT to a single digit lead only, I think SMB has a great chance of winning this game again. TNT always dictates them, they can't be lucky all the time. By the way, I'm not taking the live bet as I already put my bet in the pregame, I don't want to get played by my emotion.

If they can't do that, they still have the 4th quarter, don't worry, nothing is impossible as long as SMB does not lose hope. However, if SMB loses in tonight's game, then again, we just have to do the very popular strategy, which is to back them every time they lose.
2124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The HODL to 100K movement on: October 08, 2021, 07:30:17 AM
If we just know that Bitcoin will reach $100k next month, that certainly encourages people to hold but unfortunately, we don't know yet.

You can't urge people to hold unless if you control them all. It was just a proposal but never think that all crypto holders will do what you say.
If you can manage to hold it, then just hold it. Maybe I can do such favor but I'd never promise that it will work according to the plan as we don't know the situation, might I/these people need some money and push them to sell their Bitcoin for no choice.
2125  Economy / Economics / Re: Will we see new ATH this year? on: October 07, 2021, 11:45:22 PM
There's a possible big impact when ETFs have been approving by the U.S. SEC and possible someone says we are on the road to a $100k Bitcoin price.  So it means there's another possible ATH will come.  As I heard, there are over 30 applications of base Bitcoin ETF waiting to be approved and for sure that will make Bitcoin skyrocketing the price.
That something it give hopes but even if it never get approval from the SEC, I believe the market will still have the chance to reach another ATH just like before.
Quote
Maybe the market now was struggled with the China FUD when it will recover and ETFs approval will come, the FUD will completely forget IMO.
No, that was not what I see. We even get stable and perhaps, prices come to high again after a short market correction. People are in a stronghold and hearing these FUDs coming from China has little to no effect at all.

Quote
For now, let's just wait for what will happen next and hoping that there is good news in Bitcoin, not all FUDs.
Exactly, we can't finger point where the market goes, there or there...It is just like we are guessing and most of us got to fail.
2126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most Large-Cap Alts Lose Value Against BTC. on: October 07, 2021, 03:27:12 PM

Cardano, Ripple, Solana, Polkadot, Binance Coin, Litecoin, Terra, and Algorand have also lost chunks of value against the largest cryptocurrency. I think this dropping of altcoin price is temporary and soon it will followed btc what are your insights or thoughts about this?

But the truth is that there is nothing to expect from them if they don't take action and decrease their total capacity available in the market. They will continue to keep that price range even the bullish has come or even it getting worse during the bear season. Investors can buy them in huge numbers but the returns are so small which for me it was not an ideal choice for investment. I don't make dream for these coins as it is likely they will stay where they are today, not really becoming hopeless but the chance is very slim.

do you think people will still get fooled to vote him?
yeah, there are too many dumb voters in our country, and knowing that a lot of voters base their decision on popularity instead of achievements, I wouldn't be surprised if he got a lot of votes or (hopefully doesn't happen) possibly win the election.

Tingin ko hindi siya mananalo sa eleksyong ito pagka-senador dahil iba na ang mga botante ngayon, msyado ng marunong. Ang masaklap lang sa bansa natin ay pinapayagan pa rin ng constitution na tumakbo sa eleksyon kahit yong may mga kaso sana binago nila ito para naman kahit papano ay medyo malinis yong iboboto natin.

Hindi pwdeng baguhin yan kabayan, at hindi rin makatarugan na baguhin yan.

Ganito kasi ang explanation niyan, kung ang isang tao ay nasa kulungan or may kaso na, innocent pa rin siya hanggang meron ng hatol. paano kung yung nasa kulungan na at lumbas ang hatol na wala pala siyang kasalanan, di ba napaka unfair naman kung kukunin ang rights niya gayong wala naman siyang kasalanan.
2128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 07, 2021, 11:28:14 AM

But when this match is exactly going to happen? I cannot still find any information of the date when this match has agreed to happen.
They did not mention the date yet, maybe they are still working on it.
I did some search now and I could not find any information about the date and the venue, but only found this one (https://www.ringtv.com/627430-reymart-gaballo-says-hes-ready-to-face-idol-nonito-donaire-in-mandatory-fight/) which is interesting.

In that article, Gaballo said he is ready to face his idol in boxing, that's 100% respect but I hope he will show his skills in the fight and give his best to remain undefeated although people believe that he will just loss easily.

Right, it's probably going into the same process, purse bid and then the winner announces where and when the fight is going to happen. But for sure this is going to push both are willing participants and there only 1 champion for the WBC belt, Gaballo holding the interim belt, while Donaire having the regular belt for knocking out Ouballi.

So let's wait, he might have a big respect to Donaire and even calling him idol. But when the bell rings, for sure they are going to "kill" each other in the ring.

Yeah, I'm expecting that as well, Gaballo will go for a kill but he has to be careful as well as he is an easy target for Donaire in this fight if he will not adjust or change his strategy. If we saw his last fight against Rodriguez, there are many times where he got hit with a solid punch, he is just lucky that Rodriguez is not a KO artist like Donaire.
2129  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is something wrong with cryptocurrencies? on: October 06, 2021, 11:34:18 PM

f it is so good why there is a need for exchange rate to the real money?
Cryptocurrency has some purposes and fundamentals. Everyone wants to change to fiat or money because they need it. And many people are trading them so that they can take profits. As long as they still have a good market cap and volume, they will be worth even we are always exchanging to fiat again and we will also buy more coins again to take profits.

They need to convert into fiat for the instance that they can't enjoy using it as a currency as it was not yet accepted as a currency at their place. People usually think it was no used at all if that is only the case they need to convert it and ended up paying some fees which are already losses on their side.

I understand their sentiment and also with OP but it was not meant that there is a problem or something wrong with the cryptocurrency, it was just to happen that acceptance of cryptos as a mode of payment isn't yet a practice and we end up converting fiat.
2130  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I need help about some coin prices. on: October 06, 2021, 10:53:17 PM
Hello,
I know people here are cautious about sharing analysis. I need help about the price of some coins and I'm thankful if anyone who likes to help, PM me.


Thank you.
I don't think PM is necessary. Why not ask publicly and so the other people will see and read it as well. Don't get wonder why a lot of scammers will PM'ed you as you've asked. Maybe if you want P2P transactions but not the way to sourced.

If you were able to know the price of your coins it is better to look on the https://coinmarketcap.com/, a legit source of information that will clear your minds, not through PM or whatever it is. You can hear numbers of analysis if you want but since you've asked for PM, that is something shady might happen. I think you have to make your own analysis.
2131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 06, 2021, 12:31:57 PM

Wouldn't they be too disadvantaged if they have two of their good players gone for awhile due to injury? Pretty sure that they're going to have a hard time playing especially if they're a key players to the Pacers.

Yup! I have eventually changed my bet on final moments and my intuition to change was right Julius Randle done a great job giving 20 pts to the team, RJ Barrett did 17, Kemba Walker did 12 while Derrick Rose just put up 8 Pts, and have played 21 mins inside, but even though their performance and team work were great than with the Pacers.



The score was properly distributed, they are scoring well as a team and they don't only rely on one player, and I have that's what we are going to see in the regular season, Knicks is also an offensive power team, though they are lead by young players but they are in the East, they have a good chance to be in the playoffs and maybe at least advance in the 2nd round.

Are we going to see another comeback on the Magnolia vs Meralco game?

Once again, Magnolia had a very good start in the 4th quarter, looks like we are seeing a 2-0 after tonight.
Good luck on your bet, hope you guys bet on Magnolia here as they are just -2.5 on the pregame odds.
2133  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How cryptocurrency trading have helped the youth. on: October 05, 2021, 03:18:05 PM
In many aspect and perspective, bitcoin cryptocurrency  trading in general has become a real and sure source of income for many youths that have belive in cryptocurrencies, as many countries economic situations are not in standard, youths instead of sitting down jobless and useless now have a way out to trade. Cryptocurrency trading has change the life of so many youths.
I'm become uncertain saying the real and sure source of income. It is no, trading is very risky and we couldn't find any assurance for profit as it always been vulnerable to losses than getting into profit, that is the reality. May these jobless people will have this chance rather than sitting but don't know if they have such interest of doing this. It was not just because they have enough time, but it was because of having the motivation and capabilities. Because the truth is that a lot of people fail in trading.
2134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: Fury vs Wilder III - THE TRILOGY IS BACK ON !!! on: October 05, 2021, 11:40:54 AM
This fight is just a quick cash grab for those two, this is definitely going to be in favor of Fury, it's unlikely that Wilder will be able to do anything, not to mention that at his best, he was only able to do a draw.

Obviously!
Wilder is just pure trash. Their first match up didn't end up with a convincing result, If not with the last round knock down Fury could've win it as he clearly outboxed Wilder.
Then the 2nd match was clearly all Fury from the start.
Now, this trilogy doesn't seem necessary. Wilder had a lot of excuses to end up for this 3rd match.
Well, I hope Fury will send him to sleep this time.

Wilder will never improve if he continues to make excuses, this guy is hilarious, he is accusing Fury of cheating while it's so obvious that he did not dominate in the first fight, and in the 2nd fight it was Fury who dominated him, I guess he should focus on the Trilogy and finish this thing off.
2135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 05, 2021, 11:18:32 AM
@ingiltere I have an idea about a new poll before the season starts. How about if we agree or disagree about the new rule of the NBA?
Shooters charging to defenders after a hesitation move will be called either an "offensive foul" or "no call".
More details here. https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/steph-curry-expects-confusion-start-foul-baiting-rule-change

If anyone is watching the Trail Blazers vs GSW game now, Steph Curry just tested it at the three point line and the referee didn't react at all. No call even with a lot of contact and Steph was looking for it. I think they will be strict on this rule now to avoid shooters from taking advantage of it way far.
My answer: Agree. Although I want the refs to have a better look at it occasionally when there's a lot of contact because the defender could abuse this too.

I agree that the referee will have to look closer, if the shooter is going on the defender's body and the defender is going vertical or shall I say straight after the shooter, then it should be a foul on the shooter.

Curry is know to abuse this before, so we will see if referee are going or a "no call", or worst offensive foul on him.

This is a good change IMO, things are getting better with the new rule as there are players who are really good at it although they are the one who initiate the contact. It's one of the major improvement to make the league more interesting, I also hope that the flopping will have a bigger penalty as it's a disgrace to the league.
2136  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Learn more about trading on: October 04, 2021, 10:54:51 PM
What are some of the best ways to learn more about trading?

You can read on the internet and even watch it on YoutTube. If you are often doing online research, it was not really hard to find tutorials regarding trading. But of course, it won't just stop there, it should be accompanied by experience, to have an actual trading experience will help you figure out what really is trading. But do not wonder why you commit mistakes as it surely comes to us upon learning. If you are not afraid of doing this, I was sure you get what you wanted to achieve.

Im a long time in crypto and NFTs took over really fast.. do you guys think the hype will keep going?
Since new NFT platforms appear every day.
What are your thoughts?
Apparently, it was close to its end. The hypes have been over yet and the only reliable NFT projects just keep on the momentum while the others have back to normal (some of them just end their journey). I think we know that hypes were just temporary that is why we should expect this and the time has come for it. It was bad for those who ride the hypes and invest during that time as for sure they are not blaming themselves and regretting.
2138  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Twitter can make impact in the BTC world? on: October 04, 2021, 09:28:34 PM
Twitter has indeed become the best cryptocurrency promotion place and many twitter users talk about crypto, especially Elon Musk who is a crypto activist.
Twitter coverage is very broad and able to reach everyone in this world. Twitter, which is led by Jack Dorsey, seems to be really serious about building a crypto platform on Twitter. Let's just wait for the latest news.
Unfortunately, at the same time Twitter became place to be for all sort of shillers, and signal to noise ratio is very bad. Practically the whole Twitter influencer scene is just one shiller after the another, and the amount of scammers there will soon overtake Telegram, which we all know is a cesspool.
We can't prevent that from happening as scammers are always in a platform that is popular as that's where their potential to scam people is high also. We just have to be aware of the scams and everything will be okay, Twitter is a huge platform that could really help on the adoption process.
2139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin truly a safe-haven asset? on: October 04, 2021, 09:05:06 PM
Bitcoin is currently performing well. Bitcoin is currently the investment of various companies. Tesla is one of them. Different companies are constantly buying it. It can be said that it is a safe investment. Hopefully it won’t come to the Huge dump. The ball goes from different productions. By 2022, it could go up to 2 lac.
Well, though bitcoin is considered a safe haven you must still first understand the risk of it. You have totally mentioned and yes, there is a possible time that bitcoin price will dump depend on the trend outside, depending on the FUD that we always heard and created by them, the problem is possible it will create a panic selling. You need to understand all of these things but yes, I agree that bitcoin is a safe haven. When the fixed supply will running out because the demand has been increased and many people want to buy it now.
The risk is on the way we handle our emotions, if we easily panic, then I must say that we have a problem of holding as if you are not knowledgeable enough, we might easily get panic due to the nature of price volatility of bitcoin, when you are investing on bitcoin, you should always look for long term and don't always look at the price, just believe that it will rise in the long run so your life would be easier.
2140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think coin is the right choice? on: October 03, 2021, 11:34:38 PM
hello, which coin do you think would be the smartest investment in this period?

Which 3 coins do you think will gain value in the future?
And what you've preferred off, long-term or short-term?

BTC, ETH, BNB- are common for long-term investment. Or you can take a look at the top listed coins on the CMC.
SOL, AXIE, NEW LISTED COINS- are for short-term investment.

But it was needed for you to make searches before investing. It is much better to have your own perspective, doing searches is not only to find potential coins for investment for you to get familiar as well.
