Every cycle has a different flavor to it.  No one knows what will happen 6 months, 2 years ,10 years ahead with altcoins.  It's mostly all a gamble and when someone hits big they think they've figured it out until one day they get wiped out not respecting the volatility of the market we are in.

It'd be interesting to know how people find and analyse good long term projects that made insane profits. Can you list:

1. How you found the coin
2. Why you believed in the project
3. Why are you still holding or why you sold

I am not a millonaire yet but I bought HEX at $.05 about a year ago and sold at $.20. I thought a made a nice profit but HEX did another 2.5x.

I found HEX by watching a youtube channel and I believe in HEX because Richard Heart seems like a smart dude. I sold because I was dumb back then.
 

Anyone who said they are a millionaire on this thread is probably lying.  Why set yourself up to continually be harassed by scammers looking for an easy payout.  The real crypto millionaires kept quiet and to themselves the whole while participating in this community.  Why shout out your personal gains on this board?

That's the way it is, any big time site will have kyc.  But if you are looking for an answer to your question on the subject line, no.  Nobody wants to hand out more personal information than they need to.  If they give you a choice it's nope.  Rules and regs dictate the industry.

Golden State Warriors vs LA Lakers
123 - 109

Golden State Warriors are fun to watch. The way they execute their plays and the way the ball is rotating; the execution is just perfect. Poole and Wiggins showed the crowed why they deserve that contract extension. They came in balling tonight.

on the other hand

The Lakers are just a mess right now, especially in the third quarter. There is no defense, and the offense is totally nowhere to be found. Their plays are a mess. It is just the first game but we already see that there is a lot to fix in this team in order to be competitive again. If they play weaker teams, they will be alright but against a well-organized team with good chemistry, they will surely struggle.


I thought the Lakers looked alright in the second half. They had a nice run at the end when shots started falling. They just shot terribly most of the game. If they can figure out a way to get Hield or another long range shooter I think they’d be alright.

They are off in shooting while Warriors create more than them and Lakers seems relying on LBJ that's why they left behind by Curry's team. Although Davis got a quite good run in the first half but that's not enough to help LBJ to dominate their opponent. Maybe better luck next time of Lakers and they should find more ways to create good chemistry since if they remain like this they can't defeat Warriors on next match up.

They are lacking with what the Warriors are good at, chemistries and rotations are very important when playing this game,
though I can agree with you that AD did try his best to help LeBron,

but witnessing how weak Lakers are in terms of ball rotations that is something that they needed to work more,
It's just the opening and they are playing against the defending champ plus the Dub crowd. It's really difficult to beat them in their home.

Moving forward, it will be great to see a healthy AD, as he can provide good numbers from time to time.

Well, it seems that they are back on the drawing board again because coach Ham is still having some hard time drawing the right plan for the team. Although it's too early too say because the season have just started but Lakers won't reach far if they will continue with that kind of play.

It's way too early to say.  Especially having to play the dubs on ring night too.  Lakers were never winning that game.  Ypu need to get to at least game 20 to shake off the rust and see what each team looks like.  Anyone can look great or terrible on opening night.  With that being said, GS looks real deep this year.

Depressing having a solid team and being 1-5.

I hear yah, I look at my team and say damn its stacked and then look at my 3-3 that I have been struggling to get too!

BTW, kicked Gordon to the curb, can't believe I got Brian Robinson Jr.  with my waiver pick.

I almost didn't even bother to put it in there thinking I didn't have a chance!

You never know what you are gonna get on the waiver pile.  Last year when it was 8 teams you only needed the waiver when one of your guys went down with a long injury.  As you get to 10 and 12 it can make or break your season.  Good pickup wash seems to like to run the kid.
2266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 19, 2022, 02:30:11 PM
I’m glad Chuck is defending Westbrook, who is having a great game. The Lakers just don’t play well together. They look a little better with Nunn and Beverly but they’re missing something. It just seems like they don’t really want to win.
So you heard that too during the halftime, but it seems his co-workers are not in agreement with him. I don't know.
There may be truth with what Chuck said about Westbrook not enjoying the game anymore because of the Lakers team.
That's not how he played during his OKC, Rockets, and Wizards career. The energy is gone and he keeps on making mistakes with simple plays.
One of them showed and it was actually a silly technical foul when he tapped Wiggins while making an inbound. Reggie Miller and Harlan even laughed at what he did after watching the replay.

Lakers is not happy with Westbrook anymore and also he don't like to be part of lakers anymore. Their conflict happen last season ruin already their relationship so its not really good to keep him up in the line up since for sure they will not get good chemistry in that set up. Maybe lakers should not demand more to get rid of Westbrook so that it will be fair for both parties to depart ways.

Honestly I don't believe the Lakers want to part with Westbrook.  Who are they going to replace him with?  It's not addition by subtraction with him.  Like they said last night if I told you your point guard will give you 18/7/7 would you take that?  Not many pgs that can drop those types of numbers.
2267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TAMADOGE to $1 soon? on: October 17, 2022, 09:20:19 PM
There's a new "meme" coin on the market called "Tamadoge". It had a pre-sale for quite some time which turned out to be a huge success. According to the website, the "meme" coin will have its own P2E (Play-to-Earn) game where you can earn TAMA on the ETH blockchain. Whenever the project will be a success or a failure in the long run, it's yet to be seen. While I don't think TAMA will become extremely-valuable in the future (it's a "meme" coin after all), it could certainly become a profitable venture for early investors within the short-term.

What do you think about this coin? Is it a scam or is it legit? Do you think it's possible TAMA will reach $1 within the not-so-distant future? If not, why? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Smiley

Why on earth people still put theor money in these things is beyond me.  Memes had their run but they are all useless.  It's a joke so what do you think will happen with price.  It's gonna tank once everyone mass sells theor initial coins.  I'd steer clear.
2268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: October 17, 2022, 09:13:47 PM
I share the same view, this fight won't happen this year just like what they first forecasted it because in the first place, if they want to make the fight happen then both camps should've done the right thing and wouldn't make the discussion so long. Maybe it's time for Crawford to face another boxer while their discussion between Spence's camp is blurry.

Crawford might be the first one to fight in super welter because I heard Spence have his mandatory fight if this won't happen.
I read some articles about this and it's interesting to see some ex-boxers talking about it like Bradley said a while ago who said the same thing because they won't be fighting this year.
And I think this is quite reasonable because even though there will definitely be some hype about this that will be raised but when you see that it is now at the end of 2022 then indeed the opportunity to fight for this year is a little difficult and maybe next year it can still happen if one of the camps does not avoid it. again Grin

Actually about this fight my expectations were too high and I had too much hope so that it was destroyed and I personally feel disappointed, but indeed this happened because of my expectations so that when they decided not to fight it was difficult for me to force.

There's not enough time for training anymore, so this fight is not gonna happen this year, however, it would be better if we will know when it will happen so our effort of hyping the fight won't be wasted. As a fan, we like to see this undisputed fight, both fighters are great, so it's definitely a great entertainment for the fans, they just have to agree on the split, or they should not be afraid to risk their undefeated record.

Well they have been teasing us of a November date and this is as early when this thread was open by the OP. And yet, in several months, nothing solid had happen, except like agreement in terms but in seems only verbal. So there is nothing concrete, so they will continue to tease us with this fight. Not sure if the problem is the split, maybe one corner (Spence), doesn't want this fight, in my opinion. Or they will wait till they see Crawford performance is going downhill.

What I'm curious about is why does Crawford still holding on to this fight? It's almost clear that the opposite camp is playing games on him to make their chances on winning go higher, in my opinion, Crawford must fight another opponent while this undisputed fight is not on play.

Because ultimately Crawford wants that fight.  He is getting on the older side of boxing and he doesn't have time to fight other lower end people while this gets put together.  If I was Crawford I'd just put up a deadline and if the fight doesn't happen leave it on Spence for not getting it done and be over it.  
2269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: And officially worst year for investors on: October 17, 2022, 08:55:30 PM
2022 is going to be the worst year for crypto investors. Any thoughts guys?

Ypu have not seen 2015 then lol.  Seriously it hasn't been as bad as then.  Prices were so low and crypto was still a joke to the mainstream.  At least now ypu know there is big money in it and its only a matter of time before it turns around.  2023 might end up being worse than 2022 honestly.

Anyone else getting excited for the regular season!  October is the best month, baseball playoffs, football going strong and nba starting up not to mention the college sports. 

Someone give me a bold prediction for this year.  Could be nba champ, mvp winning, scoring title, etc.

Here's mine:

RJ Barrett averages 25 points a game leading the Knicks to a spot in the eastern conference finals eventually losing to the Bucks.  There.

Alright I did it.  Laid a bet on my ny giants.  +5.5 at home, if they don't win I think they can keep it close today.  But then again I laid a bet on them so here comes a blowout loss lol.  Enjoy the games today and good luck in ff all!




CONGRATS !!!

BOOM!!

My Homer pick hit lol.  Never expected that ending what a game.  They have an easier schedule coming up but that's when the giants will take some losses.  At least it won't be Halloween amd the giants are already unwatchable like the last 10 years.

Now in ff my te finally showed a little fight lol.  Lots of ground to gain bit the season is still young Smiley

Tonight's game should be a good one.  Leaning chargers but unsure with it being in mile high. 
2272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH Sentiment Poll for October on: October 16, 2022, 04:28:25 PM
It's not really an eth sentiment but more a  market sentiment.  It's a sideways market right now.  I don't think October or the rest of the year will be up months.  Think we got upwards of a couple years of price constraints before it's possible to see another bull market.  But that's just me.
2273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Not all new Projects are bad, So take the Risk on: October 16, 2022, 04:26:54 PM
I came across a post where an advise was ditch out
for newbies like myself not to get involved in new projects,
due to the risk that follows.

But with all honestly, Some project with 3 to 7 months old have one time becomes Scam, Good  example is OKS CHAIN. The project was over 2 years old, yet end up being scam, as the CEO and other dev cart away with so much money. And abandoned the project.

My experience tells me that everything involves around crypto project, Is about risk, except for the president of them all ( Bitcoin ), The vice ( Ethereum ) and the child ( Binance ). Investing in any of these 3 gives risk free system. As they say experience is the best teacher in life.

So i strongly disagreed with the term of " do not invest in a brand new project " to be risk free. A lot of new project has yielded x50
of my investment to me most of the time, What i usually do, Once they're up, i take off with my investment and interest. This is my experiences.
And i strongly believes by doing this, Will yield high success to everyone and also helps you to minimize the risk of lossing all your funds.

I mean I'm as bullish as anyone on bitcoin but to say it's a risk free decision that's a bit overboard.  Crypto is still one of the most volatile markets out there.  Binance can easily fall to nothing just as much as it can go up.  It's ALL risky since greed drives this market.

For sure Green has heard about it and could be working for his own contract extension, a max if he can. But then again in the recent days we have seen what he had done not just to Jordan Poole but to the rest of the guys in the team. He might be feeling shit right now after hearing both Poole and Wiggins have sign for a huge contract. So we might as well see Green in other teams. We've seen others speculated that he will play with Lebron at Lakers but we will see.
There is absolutely no way that Draymond Green would get a max contract, I am not sure if the owners even wanted to pay him that much, but with this move I am sure that they will have an excuse to just say that they do not want to pay him that much because he is a player that causes trouble in the team.

I am not saying he is going to get a veteran minimum, because it may not be that low, all because of he won so many rings with them and he was part of a great group, but just because he was good back then, you can't give him a max contract, that would be too wild. Just imagine having curry+klay+poole+wiggins already, that's good enough, so green has to take more like 20-25 million at most, that's good enough for him.

Agreed he is on the wrong side of a max contract.  He isn't getting better and will be on the decline shortly.  I know you have to overpay sometimes but giving him a max contract would choke out any flexibility gs would have for the next 4 years
2276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 13, 2022, 07:43:01 PM
Aside from his passing, he should still add some focus to his offense. It will be a good spark between KD, Kyrie and him.

Since both stars are offensive and Simmons will feed them the ball, they can take it or pass it back to Simmons to
go strong to the basket, still young and his upper body is really strong. It's more on how he will take the obligation
in helping the Nets to win more games and a possible chase to win the title.
The good part is, they are an offensive team. So I think they won't force the shooting issue. He can train it if he wants to but I doubt they will expect too much about it.

What an interesting season to begin with, there has been a lot players that hasn't played last season because of their respective injuries and now they are coming back, bouncing back and looking forward to get back what they supposed to have. Especially Wiseman, I believe the kid has a lot of potential, just waiting to be unlocked by Steve Kerr.
You gave me a good idea to check the injuries before the season starts.
It's actually surprising how short the list is.
Code:
Robert Williams III	C	Fri, Sep 23	Knee	Expected to be out until at least Nov 18
Danilo Gallinari PF Thu, Sep 8 Knee Expected to be out until at least Apr 15 - injured at Eurobasket
T.J. Warren SF Wed, Sep 28 Foot Expected to be out until at least Nov 1

I excluded the players whose status is "Game time decision" and "those who will be back this October."
Players listed are those who will take long rest.
This is good news for us, we will certainly be more entertained this season.

I think the beginning of every year you don't see injuries being reported.  Unsure when they have to report them but just knowing from the Knicks, quentin grimes was hurt for the first 3 pre season games but doesn't show up.  I'm sure across the board it's like that.  Once the regular season games start I think you start to see a different reporting requirement where each team starts piling in theor injuries.

My team is officially the worst in the league. Whoo freaking who lol.  On another note I hate these analytic decisions going for 2 instead of the tie there for LV.  These new coaches played way too much madden for my taste.  Kick the extra point and play on.  If kc hits the field goal on the next drive it doesn't matter if ypu were tied or up a point anyway.  So dumb.

Are you talking about the Giants or your Fantasy football team? lol.  I mean I would be upset being a Giants fan too, but there's absolutely worse out there.  Oh say like my favorite team the Chicago Bears.  I know Justin Fields finally had a nice game last week, but I still don't have a ton of faith in him long term.

Some other worse teams out there too.  I mean at least you have some positions where players are elite, like your running back Saquan Barkley.  The Bears best player is Roquan Smith, for comparison.

My fantasy squad is the worst.  Had to autodraft the first 2 rounds and it took wide recivers..  hate waiting so long  for a running back and when I did I took javonte Williams who is now out for the year lol. Dak got hurt so backup qb, and now waller is hurt lol. My running back situation is unrecoverable, wait until the bye weeks kick in I won't be able to field a team legible team. 😅

I looked over your team and I just cant see a fair trade there. Sad

I can certainly find a fair trade.  My entire te for anyone else's entire team 😅

Eh in all honesty what does everyone think of tonight's game.  I have it as a picked and am taking the under at 38.  Think it's going to be a tightly played game with neither team wanting to give up field position.

I did take one prop, Terry McLaurin over 54.5 yards.  Outside of Samuel I don't see anyone taking targets from him.  Thomas is out and one of theor backs I think is out.

Enjoy the game everyone!

What is the safest bet in your opinion?

- Bitcoin,
- Ethereum, or
- Solana?

I'm expecting a 4x in avarage... Thank you!  Grin

This isn't even a competition, bitcoin.  Every bull run bitcoin has reached new heights and is the gold standard during those runs.  Bitcoin goes up other things go up, bitcoin goes down so does the market.  Buying the coin that controls the market is the safest play you can make in crypto.  No Singular news will break bitcoin down whereas it can for alts
2280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Everyone who buys Coins from the Top50 will stay poor on: October 12, 2022, 09:30:44 PM
Anyone who ever got rich in crypto bought cheap projects early before they were multiple billions worth.
 
Next project to kill Chainlink and IC for ecample is ModeFi. And you can make x1000.
 
Why would anyone who loves crypto and who wants to see a better world trust projects that made their owners rich and lazy? If you want to be in a good, hungry project that can still change the world be in Bitcoin (since its not owned by single people like the rest of the top100 crypto), or buy crypto that is still only $5m or even less market cap like Modefi.
 
I got x100 on Chainlink which I bought in 2018. Because I learnt from early ETH buyers who got eth for $0.25 and got rich like mmcrypto and themoon (they mainly got rich with affiliate commissions tho), however anyone who bought ETH at $0.25 trusted an unknown, small, tiny project that was not established yet (like Modefi and others now) and got rewarded. But why did people go in ETH early? Simply because they learnt it from the early Bitcoin investors who got Bitcoin or $0.20.
 
Now you need other early projects that are still small to become financially independant and free and to revolutionize the world. Not the big ones. The big ones keep everyone poor. They crash by 95% in bear markets for a reason. Do you not want x500 or x1000? How can eth possibly ever go x1000 again?
 
Learn from the early crypto people who trusted early projects and got rewarded. You just need to find the good projects (modefi over 1 million lines of code, self-funded), the good teams, the crazy and creative teams, the guys who will make the world a better place and help replace banks, mainstream media and centralized social networks.


You've made other posts about this coin, it's a shill thread.  Honestly picking low cap coins is almost always a losing strategy.  Buying bitcoin year over year has been one of the best decisions anyone could have made.  Every new bull culycle it goes higher, whereas low cap coins get wiped off the map every bear cycle never to come back again.  So yeah buying coins in the top 50 isn't a bad strategy at all.
