2181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: September 30, 2022, 11:48:34 AM
I miss the days when there were also world title fights in the undercards. Legendary Manny Pacquiao for instance used to defend his title while on the undercards like during the Lewis-Tyson fight. Glorious days for boxing. Now it's all about playing safe and money.

True, those were the days that you can literally just wait and watch before the actual main card, because the undercard is pretty much stack up with names and champion belt also on the line and they are all name fighters in the undercard.

But now there are only one the main card that we would only watch till it's on. Now promoters are playing safe and making two fights instead of one to make the most money out of their champions.

I guess they became more greedy, they realize that they can make more money with more fights on other dates, so that's maximizing a championship fight. Things really changed, and we cannot blame the promoters because they are into the business of making money, bad is they just want to make more which results to sacrificing the quality.

But unfortunately they got all bashing from their supposed to be fans and people are losing interest to watch every game. We can feel it actually by their attendees also they are not gaining any sympathy towards the action they do because we all know that what's happening there is pure politics and only those big companies are benefiting while the independent ones are suffering. If they cannot change their system maybe for sure we can see the full collapsed of PBA and fans is starting to move on since there is MPBL which is I think the fans favorite at the moment since it represent the city not the company as what I read in the comments in social media.

Let's not let it happen that leads to the collapse of the PBA, it has been popular in the field of basketball here in our country for decades. I really hope that the system going on in the PBA will be fixed early, because sometimes the high-ranking ones get involved in money-for-money.

the quality of each team's game if I compare it back in the 90's is very different from today.



It's not us, it's them, they need to find a way to make this PBA great again. With the numbers of basketball league in the Philippines, I doubt they will stay as king forever if they will not change their old system, no team or team owners should dictate a certain league, and IMO that's what happened with the PBA.

I'm sure they are already alarmed with what is happening, slowly the star players of the PBA are getting recruited outside, so if they will not act, they will be short of star players that would make the league exciting and that would help to represent the country in international games.
2183  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Warning - 100,000 ETH Giveaway!!!! on: September 30, 2022, 10:37:35 AM
It was a big scam, no doubt of it.
When I heard about that amount and said giveaway, it appears in my mind and ask how reliable is this. Everyone can create the same name in social media and copy the original picture of the person and there is only one reason - for scamming purposes. It is obviously eye-catching, innocent and greedy people will possibly take the bait and regret it after. In fact, it was a known scam trick and I hope people should even think before jumping.
2184  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you use crypto trading robots? on: September 30, 2022, 10:02:24 AM
I preferred actual trading as I wanted to learn more about trading.
May trading bots seem it works well but not all. But if you have enough time in front of your computer and do trading, I suggest doing it rather than relying upon bots which as we know that was relying on you back and the decision is also coming from you. If you fail to set it carefully, never think it will make its own decision and for sure it will fail as well.
2185  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cryptocurrency is silent why? on: September 29, 2022, 10:43:09 PM
There's not that much development and there's not that many innovations that are causing a huge stir so it's a good answer to why the market is silent right now. It's a good thing actually, people are longing and it's kind of an eases the stress of constantly watching if there's a movement in the market.
Price really matters here for sure because even how much development or innovations or any fundamental news will arrive but the price is getting rekt or devastated some people will lose interest, which a very red flag for me. If they really support cryptocurrency, they will become consistent and stay no matter what. These people for sure are only here for money which we can't blame them.
And that is because not all are willing to stay during the crisis, what just they need is to earn money every day which is somewhat different during the bear market. Therefore, we can't really expect that all investors will remain in crypto nor keep talking about it but sometimes they have to be silent.
Well, it was just this time they are out of crypto but when the bull season comes, they will be rushing again. That is how practical we are today and most of these investors never have to stay longer times.
2186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 29, 2022, 09:49:27 PM

I don't think Ancajas to be blamed for being overweight.  Ancajas as a boxer needs to follow his camp's planned activities.  That includes training, diet, strategy, sparring partner, etc.  The boxer has no say on this except for some issues that the boxer is allowed to input.  This is also the reason why Ancajas camp got a new nutritionist because probably the previous one messed up.


Nah, they should not play the blaming game, and besides, we don't know what happenned inside, it's everyone's fault, it's safe to think that way, and we should be thinking that they will not allow it to happen again, so most likely Ancajas will have a bounce back win.
2187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 29, 2022, 09:16:17 PM
The management observe that after some season of Zion with the team, now it's really a good challenge to this young star,
if he will be able to maintain that weight, the chance that he will not be prone to major injuries.

I like him pairing with CJ both are offensive stars with good role players around them the chance of moving to the next
round or maybe if chemistries will favor them, maybe they can achieve more.

Wait and see if what adjustments will be there for this team since Zion will play now this upcoming season.

You forgot about Ingram, who is just as good on offense as McCollum and Williamson. In addition, the Pelicans have Valanciunas, who can be very useful in the paint. So if all the key players are healthy, the Pelicans will be a very serious contender for any other team. At least I won't be surprised if the Pelicans reach the playoffs again. As for Zion, he has huge potential, and I hope he understands that he needs to take care of the health of his feet anyway.

They are young but they earned good experience last season, if only Williamson was healthy, they might have upset the Phoenix Suns who still struggle against a Williamson-less Pelicans. I hope next season Williamson will be fully healthy as it's not good for the team if he cannot finish a single season.
2188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why I don't buy Polkadot now on: September 29, 2022, 11:18:53 AM
I see the developer is trying to be more aggressive and likely to gain some interest in the community but for those who have a bad experience with this project, that is really to please them and put trust back again.

Well, I have no experience with this project for I don't have an interest in this before. Might say, maybe this time but before that - I have to observe first their performance after their upgrades. I'm just going to see if there is a market potential for this project or just the same. Because many projects doing upgrades but the results are still the same, it makes no sense honestly.
2189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paths through bitcoin success on: September 28, 2022, 11:15:07 PM
No simple creation will last longer and that is how it differentiates Bitcoin from other projects that it takes for how many years before it was finally launched and went successfully. I'm not sure of Satoshi thinks about reaching this current level as I think he's not. For sure, if this person is still alive he knows exactly what happened to his creation and it was more than successful.

It is a unique and new technology advancement that makes this become highly adapted. I was not sure if there is another technology that could replace this or that something ng it performs even better.
2190  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A Successful Journey of Crypto Awareness on: September 28, 2022, 10:20:58 PM
Perhaps this forum's main reason is to spread information and educate people about crypto, not just to earn money. I see many individuals use this forum as their basis or sources in teaching their friends and in school knowing that not all information can be found on the internet outside BTT. I know OP you're not obliged to do this but you volunteer to do this for the sake of helping others who are also entitled to at least aware of the situation and also to avoid from many scams that popups on social media enticing us and offering money.
2191  Economy / Speculation / Re: Purchased at $23,500, when should I start to panic? When should I average down? on: September 28, 2022, 12:52:34 PM
I think I made a mistake buying at $23,500 (obviously), so when should I really start to panic now that we dropped to $18K?

At what price point now should I consider to add more to average in at? Like, if you owned a bitcoin at $23,500, would you wait for $10K or 15K to start adding more to average in your high price of $23,500?


Not that I think it was a big mistake that needs to regret but it was accepted being in the wrong timing because we never know if the market will pump after buying. Because even if you are good in TA, sometimes you fail and this means that the market is unpredictable. You will just get worried if the price of Bitcoin will reach $10k but as it was still above it then, I suggest make yourself calm and have some space in crypto. Better not to think about your investment as this time as this will certainly bothering you and might think about selling which could make you lose.
2192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 28, 2022, 12:10:44 PM

The game between Ginebra and ROS is very surprising, there's no way Ginebra will be able to come back in this game.

ROS now is leading the game with 49-72, and it seemed like Brownlee has been struggling with only 14 points so far.
I'm sure everyone has put their bet on Ginebra, but sorry guys, it's an upset tonight.

Yes, Gin kings are unable to come back, final score 93-71 that good rotation of RoS manage to maintain the lead and they win the game. Not sure what happens with the players, but seems that they are struggling and the chemistry is still unestablished.


When it comes to chemistry, I think it should be the Ginebra who should have the better one since Brownlee has been their consistent import, maybe it's juts a bad game for the team but we have to respect the ROS as well, they are a good team under coach Yeng and they have proven that tonight.
2193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 28, 2022, 11:30:57 AM

Let's see if this new coach can guide the team more than Ime so that their efforts won't be in vain.


The new coach needs to work more since they are the runner-up and the expectation for this team is high.

He needs to make sure that the team is still intact and the chemistries that they've established while coach Udoka still
around should be remain or better to be enhanced now that it's the assistant coach term to mentor the entire team
they need to work together and continue the chase on the winning the NBA crown.

Boston Celtics has a new coach? I read it on the news that the assistant coach would be the temporary head coach? Is there a change of heart in Boston's management now? If the assistant coach becomes the temporary head coach and he remains a very good friend of Ime, things aren't as hard as we think it is. Ime and him can talk all the time on the things to do, the players to focus and so on. But maybe all of Boston from the owners to the staff, janitors and the fans hated Ime already.

Their head coach will not be replaced if he does not commit a violation.

he was suspended for this coming season
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/23/boston-celtics-suspend-head-coach-ime-udoka-for-upcoming-season.html

So let the assistant coach handle the job, and let's see if he can still make Celtics a great team.
2194  Economy / Speculation / Re: 1 Bitcoin, Not for everyone. on: September 27, 2022, 10:32:24 PM
snip...
prices above $ 10k in my opinion are still very expensive, because the bear market is still not finished and there is a possibility that the price of Bitcoin will drop below $ 10k,
yes for people who have bought above $ 50 k my advice is you should use a cut lose, because if the price bitcoin drops to $10k then I'm sure there will be high selling pressure, so be careful
Even $1k price would really be still expensive for most people.To those who do lived on first world then it would really be that simple for them to accumulate but for those who do lived on developing countries then it would really be a huge or tough challenge for them to accumulate and getting a  single coin but what just the most people been saying on here that we dont really need to buy a whole coin which we could really able to buy
on small amounts until you do able to reach out on possessing a whole coin.Yes, its expensive but lets just accept the reality that there are people who are financially capable and there are ones
who do struggle out on living on daily basis which their earnings is just sufficient for their survival.
However, it wasn't really a need to acquire 1 Bitcoin at a time. There is a way to accumulate Bitcoin and that is the DCA strategy which only buying a few sats during market corrections to make it 1 whole Bitcoin someday. But yes, we also have to put into consideration that not all can handle the risk and market stress and that is the reason why many people will think it was expensive because they don't want to buy it in the first place. It is an investment mindset and sadly, not all of us have that thing.
2195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) Price Prediction. Will LUNC price hit $0.001 in 2022? on: September 27, 2022, 10:00:47 PM
I would be amazed if it will really reach 0.001$ this year. LUNC became a shitcoin for me now since the UST depping issue happened and only its community is what makes it alive. It's developer Do Kwon has arrest warrant now from the authorities of South Korea. I would not recommend it to someone that wants to invest in crypto for long term. Even trading it for short term is risky since whales can easily pump and dump LUNC with its current price.
It was indeed a huge change in its performance from one of the most trusted projects into one of the big scam events in crypto. However, it was good to see that people have started to change their minds and realize that this project gives them no opportunity to earn but a chance to lose their money. I'd see how it ruins the image of crypto but that is also expected to happen to know that scams are already been happening. This means that we can't assure everything that even Bitcoin or any potential project can also be a scam in the future.
2196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can whitepaper still shows the weakness of a project and their team on: September 27, 2022, 01:21:00 PM
Yeah, you're right OP. Scammers do a copy from successful projects and use this for their project making to believe that they can trick people and yes, many investors got it because they are lazy to read the whitepaper and that was the truth, only a few bothered themselves and spend time reading it. But, those critics make use of this to detect projects that are less potential and close to scams. Grammars and spelling are one of the common things to be found to an unreliable projects.
2197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 27, 2022, 11:18:39 AM
Pretty sure the result will be Haney wins by decision. In the first match, Kambosos couldn't touch Haney, and nothing will change in this 2nd match except for the increase of the KO probability because Kambosos will be more aggressive, which will make him out of his style. Honestly, this match is boring, unlike what we expected when Loma was the king. Hopefully, the winner won't chicken out when Loma is coming.
When he really wants to maximize the KO in this fight, the thing he has to do is clearly more difficult but indeed this is a choice because if he forces a fight with decisions then Haney is clearly the favorite.
In the first fight Haney already knew that Kambosos would play with speed so he held back a little, it was not impossible that he would also do something like this again in the second fight.
Kambosos better not aim for a single big shot to KO Haney. Haney knows that Kambosos will try to unleash everything in this rematch so I am expecting the young champion to become more careful which can make this rematch more boring. But if Kambosos can impose his style like what he did on Teofimo then maybe we can see a better fight than the first one. 

On the contrary, I suspect that he might be looking for a single shot, or at least a punch that will put Haney down just like in the Lopez fight. He needs to have that kind of performance against Haney. Because as you have said, he can't out jab a jabber, so he better change his approach in the rematch. He needed fire, in the Lopez fight you can see in his eyes, in every interview how hungry he is and how he wants to take the head of Lopez. But against Haney he seems to lost that one or not imposed the psy war or trash talking.


Most probably because that's his best chance of winning the fight, a single shot that would hurt Haney that could lead to a KO victory, it's hard to imagine he will win like that but if he is lucky, then we will see that one happening. Kambosos is eager to get back his belts that's why he did not wait for a long time to ask for a rematch.
2198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 27, 2022, 10:46:55 AM
....My personal take on that note is very possible, PBA is controlled by SMC and MVP they can simply request for that schedule to see how the visiting team play and scout them to make sure that they are well prepared before they met.

If this issue will be proven, surely the interest of those possible additional visiting teams will be lesser. They might not take that effort to join with the league that fully manipulated.



There's no need to talk about the obvious and I've seen lots of posts here already suggesting solutions to make PBA more interesting to watch. With all the drama, it's not good for the PBA because star players are leaving but PBA still did not make action to improve the league.
2199  Economy / Speculation / Re: What can we expect from this statement of Michal Slayer.. on: September 26, 2022, 10:34:09 PM
We can expect nothing to be honest. He is a very smart guy, but like all very smart guys he also makes mistakes. Now he has become bearish, consistent with the current situation. Let's see what he said not long ago:

Michael Saylor goes nuts: he predicts a $15 million Bitcoin price.


His predictions have the same credibility as any others we may see in this section.

 
And he is too optimistic when it regards to predicting Bitcoin makes us not believe him in all of his Bitcoin predictions. I'm not certain but I think he has no basis for what he said, it is just like what appears in his mind will come out in his mouth. Might say he was a smart guy but not as smart as it was in crypto, it could be in some other place.

Bitcoin will do the rallies a few years from now but totally we don't have any clue when it was the time. However, I don't think it become bullish 4 years from now.

2200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 26, 2022, 11:53:42 AM
The team that I am most excited to see is the Memphis Grizzlies. They are so silent this off-season. I am excited what their young players can bring this new season. They are not at their peaks last season. Now they are more experienced.
That's a strong team too. Their advantage is the chemistry they have with their young players.
My memory is still fresh of when they played against the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs. Battle of speed for both young teams is composed of agile players.
One of the best matchups that I have seen, their games are always close with a high score ending like a battle of offense.
Grizzlies will be scarier when they play against a team who relies on a center because you cannot leave Jaren Jackson Jr. outside or he will shoot it with high accuracy.
One of my top five when it comes to team rankings in the West.

They definitely have a shot this season, if only Morant wasn't injured last playoffs, I think they have a really huge chance of winning the championship. Of all the teams that played against the Warriors, I only see Memphis giving him enough trouble, looks like they really know the Warriors.

with that said, I think betting on the NBA future is good with this Memphis team.

It will be different story to tell if Morant didn't get injured last season but its like Memphis is having a bad luck on that season so maybe they should try their best to come up on their mistake so that they can get a second shot around since if Morant fail to deliver what he say for last couple of months against GSW maybe some of his fans will just treat him as total non sense and just a noisy one.

It's fair because the last time Memphis beat the Warriors, they are fully healthy while the Warriors have an injured player which is Klay Thompson. Well, hopefully, next season if they will ever face again (which is likely) they are all healthy so no more excuses from them and from the fans.
