2181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What you guys think is Shiba Inu Coin a better investment than Dogecoin? on: November 18, 2021, 12:06:22 PM
No one is better because these are just hype coins, you can invest it now but don't decide to hold it long as eventually, it will become worthless. A coin that is brought by the hype that's why it's successful will not like survive, so I don't like to use the word "better" because you might experience the worst loss if you get hype and join the FOMO.
2182  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 17, 2021, 10:06:57 PM
Not sure if that is the end goal for more boxers, for me still business though, make more money when you are in your prime, regardless if you can unify the belts on or not.

Of course it will be good if you can unify if, but sometimes, if becomes a hindrance, those major organisations requires certain fees to let their boxers fights against each other for the records book. And we are not sure if either Casimero or Inoue's manager are willing to pay that hefty price.

But I do agree, I'm more wanting to see a Casimero vs Inoue clash, prime for prime fighters. Donaire is too old to face Inoue at this point.
There's always money in line if there's sort of settlements for such records. Everyone is just wanting to let this Butler - Casimero match happen and end as soon as possible.
It's more of Casimero-Inoue that has already been saying before but there's no contract yet and that's why WBO managed to order and got in before their match. But again, it became unknown and we still have to wait until it comes.

Definitely, we want to make it happen and expect that Casimero will win so Inoue will find no excuse and sign the contract for a big fight. Inoue vs Casimero should be the biggest in their division, and it's going to be a unification match so it's the fans that are making it mandatory for them to fight and hopefully they'll both comply with that.
2183  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does the BULL MARKET Affects the NFT markets on: November 17, 2021, 09:25:12 PM

ICO coins are still there, not commonly of course but things like ADA started with ICO and they do get impacted by bull market,
If I'm not mistaken, even ETH and BNB started with ICO and they are still very successful now.
Every hype brings success of a certain crowdsale platform but as the reality speaks for itself, only few will survive as the rest would just slowly disappear, so some NFT might stay while majority of them will just fail in the long run.

just not as much as NFT right now. This is why I believe that there is not going to be any hype around NFT one day but it will still be just around.
Exactly, invest while the hype is still here but always choose what NFT projects to hold for a longer term.

AEG (the owner of Staples center) and crypto.com announced a huge deal. The crypto exchange paid more than $700 mln for naming rights for the next 20 years. It means that the legendary home arena of the Lakers and Clippers will be renamed in Crypto.com arena, and the debut of the new logo is scheduled for December 25.

source

That's right, I first read the announcement in here.

$700 million is a huge amount of money, it's a big investment for crypto.com and probably that's the reason why the coin is up now while majority of altcoins have dumped. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/crypto-com-coin/

Great news for crypto and for NBA, they both win in this contract and it will spread awareness for the NBA fans.
2185  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buying the Deep (Bitcoin). on: November 17, 2021, 01:12:24 PM
So excited to see Bitcoin coming down to $59,000 after waiting for a long period of time to see such opportunity to buy more Bitcoin, I just bought 4.5 Bitcoins at the present price which am feeling happy for at last am among the new Bitcoin whales at the moment.

Good entry point, I don't think we will see the price going down below $59k now.
It has already went down below $59k as the lowest price today went $58k in exchanges.
We don't know if it will recover right away or we might see another major fall, but one thing is certain if we are in a bull market and we see this huge dump, consider it always an opportunity as the price will always recover.
2186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nebraska, Gambling might be too expensive for casinos on: November 17, 2021, 11:24:18 AM
Apparently in Nebraska if you would go according to the new reforms that might be coming forth, the casinos might have to pay 1 million to issue them a license that would work for 20 years.


I guess the amount is too high because we never know if the gambling economy will continue to be profitable in the future.

Paying $1 million for the license in 20 years does not also guarantee that a gambling operator will continue to operate for 20 years because if they broke the law and the license might cease, and I don't think they'll refund the amount of the period that has not been consumed yet.

Those who like to operate in this place must probably be a big business and I think there's less competition in the area due to high license fee.
2187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Staples Center to be renamed Crypto.com Arena on Christmas Day!! on: November 17, 2021, 10:53:21 AM
This is clearly a big news, no doubt it will help the adoption of crypto as people who are not aware of crypto might be curious, and they would never think it's a scam since LA Lakers promoted them. 

I am a big fan of NBA, so I'm happy with this news, though not a fan of Lakers now because they are struggling, but LA Lakers is probably the most popular team as they have Lebron James in the team, and maybe we can also expect that Lebron will eventually advertise crypto soon and that would influence his followers.
2188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do we see 5k Eth price by end of the month on: November 17, 2021, 07:45:42 AM
A few days ago the price of Ethereum reached $4800, unfortunately the market corrected again and fell more than $700 and now the price of ETH is around $4100, but I'm optimistic that the price of $5000 will be reached soon and usually in december the price of top coins especially ethereum skyrockets up to 2x than the price in November.

We can always be optimistic but we have to be realistic at the same time, ETH will not reach $5000 if bitcoin will not recover.

The current price of bitcoin is below $60k after hitting its ATH, I think this would shake the market a bit.
you know, ETH and the rest of the altcoins market will never be bullish of bitcoin is not bullish, so it's safe to expect more correction now that last night we saw a heavy dump.
2189  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon -- Milton Friedman on: November 17, 2021, 07:05:30 AM
Companies can't find workers to fill the demand. Why not? Because the government paid everyone a bunch of money so they don't need to work. This is shown by the fact that the labor participation and unemployment rates are both low.


In our country it's not the case because the problem is unemployment and underemployment, lots of workers available but few companies only offers a job and that resulted to increase in poverty. We also have a grant from the government but it's never enough to sustain a healthy living, so the main reason is the inability of the government to improve the economy, and that is brought by policies that are pro-capitalist because they are benefiting from it.

A corrupt government would lead to economic struggle, and resulted to a high inflation.
2190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can $SOL rise to $1000? on: November 16, 2021, 01:18:49 PM
$1000 for SOL is possible but not in a short term.

I think BNB is quite bigger than SOL, maybe SOL is the most hype coin as of now that's why it reaches it reach at top 5 or next to BNB minus the Tether (USDT) which is a stable coin. Basically, the top 3 altcoins in the market now are Ethereum, BNB, and SOL and all three are bullish so far.

I guess I'll have to wait and see how SOL would react once a major correction starts because it has not been tested yet before.

As of this writing, we are experience a heavy dumps now for bitcoin and altcoins.
2191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 16, 2021, 12:43:35 PM
I was about to say the battle of the top seeds East and West but upon looking at the standings, Washington Wizards is the one on the top for the East.  Shocked
Shocked? Yeah, me too.
Very shocked, but at the same time, I'm happy that they traded Westbrook and now the Lakers are taking the struggle because they trade 3 of their players just for Westbrook. Bad decision by the Lakers and Wizards benefited from that.

That game against the Pelicans Beal did not play, no beal but no problem at all.

Golden State Warriors versus the Brooklyn Nets later. Oh yes, this will be one hell of a fun game. I may try to just take a bet for scoring above 220 or more. Team bets will be difficult to predict although I may be slight on the side of GSW here when those youngsters find their rhythm and speed up the game.
Durant and Curry which are the top MVP candidate this season will face, I guess I'm going with the Warriors here because I love to play the underdog.

The forum cannot do anything about the scam but our DT members can, and that is by tagging them so their feedback is very visible to the people. What the mods only do is just to review the posts that are reported to them and determine if it's spam or not, and they'll do a corresponding action on spam.

2193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 14, 2021, 10:49:52 AM
surely they should win the next match but be careful
They'll be playing against Philly. Embiid is still out for Philly but if he will play, then most probably the Jazz would face a bigger problem. Thing is, they lose against the Heat without Butler, so for sure the Philly team could also win against the Jazz even without Embiid.
2194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Be careful with the hype on: November 14, 2021, 09:46:30 AM
Yes thanks for your information. Actually you don't be too greedy to get profit. Most probably you are entering after the hype and try to hold it. Finally you are getting big losses. My idea is just invest little amount from your portfolio. Also if you get profit you can take out some. Because profit is profit.
Nice advice, we just have to be smart all the time and greediness does not make us smart since we are investing without our emotion which will only lead us to a bigger problem. Like right now, we are already in the bull market, if we have not accumulate in the past years where the market is bearish, then most likely we will not enjoy now and we will make a bad decision buying at peak instead of buying at dip.
2195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 11, 2021, 10:50:28 PM

...Clippers have an advantage as they are in a solid shape. So I'm favoring them in this.
It's not a bad call if you're betting on ML. How about spread?

Probably taking the spread is also a great idea because you'll get better odds on the spread.

The odds as of the moment on LA Clippers ML is only 1.40, or $40 win or your $100 bet, I think that's small. However, if you put on the spread which is already at -6 now @1.91, then you'll get good return but a little risky.

You must carefully analyze, Clippers could dominate here since Butler is out and AFAIR, this is the first time that Butler did not play in this season, so that could be a huge effect on the Heat's offense and defense.
2196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 11, 2021, 10:33:24 PM

Clippers for me vs Heat, -2.5. They have a big win against the Portland team, and PG13 is really playing like a MVP candidate again.

Clippers might win this, good for you the spread you took was only -2.5, now the line moves up to -4 because the Heat might probably miss Butler due to injury. I'm thinking maybe this will be a low-scoring game because they are in a back to back game, the 1st half will likely end up under as they might conserve their energy in the 2nd half.

First half under 107.5 is gonna be my pick.
2197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: November 11, 2021, 01:17:18 PM
They already have shared the full list of imports of all of the teams in the PBA.
Quote
Brgy. Ginebra - Justin Brownlee
Meralco Bolts - Shabazz Muhammad
TNT Tropang Giga - McKenzie Moore
NorthPort Batang Pier - Cameron Forte
NLEX Road Warriors - KJ McDaniels
San Miguel Beermen - Brandon Brown
Magnolia Hotshots - Mike Harris
Alaska Aces - Olu Ashaolu
Rain or Shine - Henry Walker
TerraFirma Dyip - Antonio Hester
Phoenix Fuel Masters - Paul Harris
Blackwater Bossing - Jaylen Bond

One of the imports that we must look at is the import of Meralco Bolts, Shabazz Muhammad. He is a former NBA player and he played in CBA where he averaged more or less 30 PPG in one season. I think that Meralco is one team that other teams might want to watch this conference (IMO). They have legit import that is a shooter/scorer and they also have a good roster and we've seen it in the Filipino Cup where they are 2nd in elimination round. Which team do you think will dominate this Governor's Cup?

He is a former NBA player as well. I checked his record (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/muhamsh01.html) and I don't see it impressive enough though, however, since this is only a PBA, then most likely his production will be better.

How about Henry Walker, you still remember this guy? I guess this guy is really good when he played as an import before and ROS is so lucky to have him as he is a good big man.
2198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 11, 2021, 11:39:52 AM

Maybe what he meant is that for a preparation for a bigger fight like Nonito or Inoue in the future.

But for sure Casimero are not going to take the fight against Butler lightly, he wanted to show the world has powerful fighter he is. That's why we are expecting a knock out coming from him because he is really destroying everyone leading up to the belt he won against Tete and then defended it already.

Well since Casimero is dreaming to have a big fight with Inoue or in Donaire of course he shouldn't have to take this upcoming game of him with butler that easy fight. Though Casimero has already proven his capability, his skills inside the ring but this time I believe that he needs to win this game probably a knock down win rate for a more big fight for his career in the following days. This Upcoming game enticing every boxing fans because of two big names involve in the same date, Casimero and Donaire fight in the same event.

He will not became a champion if he will take his opponent as an easy one and maybe we can see him being nasty on social media but in reality for sure he will do all things that needed so that he will be more prepared on this fight since remember there are so many at stake for him on this fight and its a big shame for him to be lost on the fight and for sure he will lose the chances to fight either Inoue or Donaire if he will think about those things and play cool on this match.

Exactly, Casimero does not have an easy journey to reach where he is now, he has to challenge fighters in their country just to beat them and he was so successful in doing that, now it's over, he has big fights mostly in the US and that's paying off for him. Of course, this fight could be easy in paper but we never know what would happen until we watch the fight, Casimero is a fighter that always wants to impress the fans, so if Butler would do the same, then most probably we will see a very entertaining match.
2199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 11, 2021, 11:07:47 AM
......and Wiggins who got 35 points and its his new season high.


I guess Wiggins was really big after all, they literally have the big 3 now because Curry, Poole, and Wiggins could drop a huge number in a single game. I like that they are very unpredictable now, it's not always Curry but other players are stepping up when they are needed.

Of course, another good win by the Warriors and their win streak continues.
2200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you think of Meta (Facebook) allowing bets in the metaverse on: November 11, 2021, 06:53:51 AM
However, rumors say that they may actually enter into the betting arena by implementing gambling and gaming for money in the future Metaverse of Facebook. What do  you make of this?

I guess it's a great idea as betting would be easier knowing we are using a platform that is reputable, however, that would also mean we have to go through KYC which we need to use our real information on our facebook (meta) accounts. They'll certainly do some innovation to increase their revenue but we also have to understand that it always depends whether the government will approve or not, their plan is only a plan without an approval.
