I've always believed in the products created, but I won't trust the people who use it.
So it is necessary to look at the problem against the user, and of course every relationship of responsibility also has a part in the product. However, I always like to see it in a positive light, and the negative stuff with it is almost like illegal activities and won't matter whether it's good or bad.
Everything on this world which had been created does have its own good and negative side or effects and that do really depends on the certain individual who do make use of it.

To those who hated up credit cards then they are the ones who had experience about paying up huge interest because of past due. Cheesy

If you are an irresponsible credit card owner who do spend up like there's no tomorrow then you would really be ending up on this way.
2342  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Corruption In Gambling?? News and real stats (uk) on: November 17, 2021, 07:32:09 PM
people are being greedy about the money, that's why they take this opportunity to get those sport betting freebies.
There will always be a bunch of people happy to take on anything that is free - makes sense, right?

Gambling comes with its sets of opportunities. Some people are in for the thrill, some to feed their addiction, others to manipulate the laws. It is what democracy & freedom allows, though best to have a choice than live in a place where everything is dictated and suppressed.
Dictated or surppressed on the sense or to the limits which it isnt really that make citizens been choked that much.We do need everything to be organized and somewhat on the state on where people arent really put into trouble but honestly gambling is a personal choice but its normal that
we do really have different decisions and takings towards it and thats why we do see different situations ended up on each individual.
About corruption? nothing surprises me here, it does exist everywhere.
2343  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need advice regarding buying on: November 16, 2021, 11:43:35 PM
It's better if you'll set a target goal before you invest so you'll have a specific target price to sell. Sometimes, being unspecific could lead you to wrong decision making which is usually caused by too much greed. Your decision must rely on the profit that you want to gain and on the level of patience that you could have upon waiting.
Set a good plan first before you decide to invest in crypto, its best entry and best exit so you won't be closing your entry with regrets. Some investors only ride with the FOMO thinking that it could be the best entry, and yet they all end up losing their funds. So its best if we can set a target price when to buy and sell so we will be guided all throughout our investment process.

However, i can see that most of the coins at this moment is dumping. Maybe there is an ongoing price correction. I suggest to start eyeing at bitcoin today because its price is already cheaper than before. Bitcoin is now at $59,919 and its definitely a good buy with its current price.
Easy to say but when you are on the actual situation then this is something a really very hard to be done because you would always be looking for the possible bottom to maximize out possible profits when market tends to make out some recovery which its normal that you would really make out those profits since you had risked out to buyback when the market is on deep reds.
People that goes dumping is such a weak-hands that cannot hodl their Bitcoin everytime if there's a correction or a red line. They were supposed to be buying back to accumulate again and make another plan on how to trade it for profit. And a trader should always look on the market status whether it's time to dump or time to hodl.

IMO actuality may vary to each every single traders even if the have the right plans to do it but once you cannot control your emotion, you are most likely to do the regretful decision. Anyway, now's the time buy I'm sure, since speculators are expecting a pump after this few corrections.

You can't blame some traders as not all of us can hold long time. Some are cashing out for their necessary expenses. And as much as possible, they want to sell it not at a loss. But if you are very capable of holding, then you are one of the lucky ones in this market. Because like for example the OP, if he truly believes the capability of bitcoin based on his studies, then, accumulating more is one option to increase his portfolio. And by the way, when he wrote this, I don't think he's thinking that btc will go down to 59-60k this week. So don't know if he's buying now that it is going down.
Not all does have  the patience on holding for too long and its true that there are lots of factors that could really affect when we are holding
specially when we are seeing a dropping or crashing market or even into those FOMO times where seeing huge price increase spike.

So decisions will vary depending into your goal and targets into your trading and it wont really be similar most of the time.

Buy when you do see its cheap but dont expect that it would be precise from time to time.
2344  Other / Off-topic / Re: Deron Williams to fight in an undercard on Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul fight. on: November 16, 2021, 10:41:20 PM
Last time I check, an ex NBA player Nate Robinson got knockout cold by Jake Paul, and now another ex NBA star trying his journey in boxing, this must be fun.
Most probably their purpose is to entertain and to have some money as well, since this is an undercard there's no assurance that they can get a full attention from the crowd though seeing an ex NBA players and a retired player, makes me think that Boxing is getting weirder now. Lots of exhibitions matches between those retired players out of boxing, this might really be the trend now, there's no full retirement for them.
As long as people keep paying to watch those fights then the market is going to give them what they want, I admit that I find this to be odd as well, most of the time I watch a boxing fight in order to see the best the sport can offer do what they can do best, however it seems the tastes of the public have changed, I do not know if this is because of the pandemic or if this is simply a generational change but it seems it is here to stay.
Well there used to be celebrity boxing back in the days, but guess what, the hype around it has died down. So I think this all boxing exhibitions will also go down the same path. When people are no longer interested and there will be no audience, it might stop as well.

But as long as we are still in the pandemic, and these boxing promoters are thinking out of the box and get people to buy this kind of match, and ex-sports athletes are a willing performer then it will continue.
Cant really deny on whats the power of social media nowadays on which things do easily gets hyped and gains interest on a fast manner which not like before where marketing is really hard but now it do spreads like wildfire.

They do know that they could make easy profits or money on this one and spreading or marketing it wouldnt really be that hard as long the people
were involved were famous or known ones.

But depends still because not all would really be that interested.
Most provably the social media presence is not strong compare these days since now everything can go viral easily especially with involve a famous guys on some industry and we might not see this thing to go down the same as before since for sure their media promoters will do everything just to hype their celebrity sports event and also for sure there are so many people will watch them knowing they are still famous on their own craft.
2345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Football Fan tokens and gambling on: November 16, 2021, 09:42:51 PM
-snip-

Do these tokens have any use cases or they are just made to collect money from their fans ? Would they be used in gambling ?
In my opinion, this token is only made to get funds for the club, it has no use or if it ends up having a use value, it is only used to buy tickets when the club competes or buy merchandise from the club.
However, it is possible that the Club that launched the fan token will develop other features that will make their token grow and attract many fans interest to have it.
Has no use indeed because if we do look on general perspective then it is just simply a token for a fan to buy on without expecting any investment type kind of opportunity if ever they do make some purchases or tending to invest on it and its better to be wise and not to blind yourself on investing big
but if you are really a fan then showing up some support wont really be that bad but when you do comes to a point on where investing that big
because you are expecting something in return then you shouldnt really fool yourself.
2346  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin ever get regulated on: November 16, 2021, 08:47:27 PM
As Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency, with no central bank or single administrator, it's not possible to regulate it directly, but after making it a prominent currency, there is a possibility that indirect regulation will be implemented on the transactions of Bitcoin.
Not really that possible if we do talk directly which people should really realize that but in terms of regulating those services and platforms do get involved with crypto or bitcoin itself then it could be done but somehow we had already seen some countries had made out bitcoin on being a legal tender or currency which means that it could really be done but not really as that  rampant.

We dont actually need on being regulated on general sense of bitcoins existence but due to fiat transactions between crypto then it
couldnt really be somewhat able to avoid.
2347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what you worst experience on crypto on: November 15, 2021, 11:48:58 PM
Within the years I have so many bad experience with crytocurrency but the worst I ever had was selling my one of tokens for only sixty-eight dollars and just after a few weeks the price of what I sold rises to almost four thousand dollars.I highly regretted letting my coins go at that time but It also taught me a lesson of holding coins with great p nootential for a longer period of time.
Bad experiences are learning curves or stones for us to learn on how thing works because if you dont then you would really be not become a good trader/investor. In numbers of bad experiences then I do have lots

which it do almost end up on quitting on this market because it is way too unpredictable but if you do realize on how it do works and be wise then you could at least hang on and able to deal with it.

Just move on and try to be sustainable and able to survive because this isnt something that could be handled well.
2348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The reason why Crash Games usually crash at lower values on: November 15, 2021, 10:38:12 PM
The crash game is one of my favorites because it can run so high but this problem that it has bias to fail before 2x is why the house makes money so well from it I guess.   Im not sure of strat to avoid that except perhaps be most optimistic when a long streak has not happened recently perhaps and hope probability is on your side but mostly I think small bets and landing one of the larger multipliers could pay off prior crash loss perhaps.
Even busting on 1.0x is very common and even to those people who do stick out on betting on 1.1x multiplier cant really make out assurance that they could profit out and those algorithms about shows off on how
its been calculated.

We dont know exactly on how results turn out to be like that but as long it would be fair and square then it wouldnt really matter that much and there are lots who do still
keep playing despite of the chances.

We know on how high the multiplier could we able to reach off on which we could recover our losses which is a very common mindset.
2349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to store your keys? on: November 15, 2021, 07:43:45 PM
While some prefer to know the Keys by heart,
This will be a very dangerous step for anyone to take. No one can keep a set of numbers and letters off handedly for long. What if someone suffers memory loss momentarily, and at that point needed to access their wallet? I think it's better to write it down on a piece of paper or save it physically. I don't even like the idea of saving it on phones or computers. Such easily gets into third party hands if saved on phones when stolen or put up for repairs when damaged.
Would be the riskiest thing i would say on which you do memorize your keys on just minding them off or know the keys by heart? Its true that even on the slightest memory gap would fucked you up.

It is likely that you would really be forgetting one of those seed phrases specially on holding for a long time and also we know that keys isnt always that something to be phrases.

How about those alphanumeric?  It would be sensible on storing  up your keys on a hardware wallet or as simple as writing it on a paper.
2350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 15, 2021, 06:50:20 PM
Beat Butler first then maybe they can start the talk with Inoue if he wants to risk his belt for a unification fight. We are all waiting for that big fight to happen because not only it will bring entertainment, it's also a chance for Casimero to prove that he is the best in his division.
There's already the talk with Inoue but it was postponed when this match of Butler came in and was pursued by WBO. I agree that Casimero has to beat Butler first.
So after this match, he can move on with anyone whom he wants to fight but there's the most high chance that it's going to be with Inoue since it has already been talked about by Casimero then the unexpected has happened that he has to fight first Butler.

Actually, before the postpone, Casimero and Inoue already have a scheduled fight last year but got canceled. This year, it was the 2nd negotiation already before WBO mandated a fight between Casimero and Butler.

Butler knows that Casimero is the one hyped on the match. He will do everything too to beat Quadro Alas to have some big fights too in the future.
Yes, there's already the talk about and a certain date that Casimero has told. But all of a sudden, there's this news from the WBO that he has to fight Butler first. We're all thinking that it's already going to be Inoue and Casimero at the end of this year but there's a quick change of expectancy from the fighter. I don't want to underestimate Butler although Casimero is really a strong fighter but no choice but to let this match happen for Casimero to move further.

I believed that the Casimero vs Inoue fight news before was just all hype, yes they have a verbal argument in the public, but that's it. We didn't see any from both sides really trying to make the fight. Sean Gibbons of MP (former handler of Casimero), was also all talk, while Bob Arum keeps silent.

So it was just an obvious ploy to make some noise specially for Casimero.

And now he has to go to his mandatory first before getting Inoue.

So what happened to the statement of Inoue?
Naoya Inoue responds to Casimero’s taunts: ‘Please organize a match’

If Inoue cannot make this happen then it's really true that Bob Arum just wants to play safe. Inoue is still his cash cow and as long as Inoue will not fight a high caliber fighter, he will be able to maintain his undefeated record.
So you say that Inoue isnt a high calibre fighter? Well, i do agree that Arum might be protecting his cashcow for now but when the hype is already on the roof then he might really be considering on allowing this fight

to happen but who knows? We dont know on whats up to their minds when it comes on setting out fights depending on situation or being organized which it isnt surprising.

I could say that Casimero is something that Inoue could really fear off but this wont be settled until an official fight happens.
2351  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Making profit with a bubble on: November 15, 2021, 05:47:24 PM
As for me, if a trader makes a profit, then other aspects simply fade into the background. The main thing is to make a profit.
On point and well said.It wouldnt matter on what kind of situation you are into whether into a bubble or just simply an organic kind of increase on a certain market which you are making out profits then whats the most

important thing of all because if you do able to make out profits on certain conditions without any problems then that do simply shows that you are really doing well on this market.

It will vary on how you do deal up with things and also not all would really be that good when it comes to these things.
2352  Economy / Economics / Re: Who wants to do what. Jobs or business.. on: November 12, 2021, 09:46:32 PM
Apart from the world going digital, in this 21 century it will be hard for people with a single job or single way of earning to thrive and this is footing the advice of people like Kiyosaki. However, if you look at the people who are billionaires now they have diverse ways of earning an income.

Doing more than a single 'job' is like exploiting ourselves at its peak. It is also a matter of fact that doing business does not fit under anybody's appetite and needs patience to grow and bring that business ahead because overnight success stories are just white lies and like a plant needs time to become a tree, a business also needs time to grow and if a businessman is lucky, only then he gets hardworking people who stay with that business even in the worst times.
Investment isnt for everybody but how you would able to know if it doesnt work for you? You couldnt tell unless you do try and this is why people do make out investment even though they arent really that much sure.

We know the chances or probabilities when it comes to possible profits if you have done this right and its true that this isnt for everybody but doesnt
mean that you wouldnt give a try.

Its up to someone on how they would gonna take advantage of their finances on putting up on other ventures.
2353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: November 12, 2021, 08:58:29 PM
Definitely 0% i would say and if you do look Logan on that previous fight against Mayweather then you could already see that stamina is also a big problem for Logan which
i wont believe that it could go par with the current old Tyson thats why im really that confident that he could snatch up this fight on easy win if he wanted to.
Well, as an exhibition fight  then this is already part of the script that they would need to dance inside the ring to entertain things up.

Lol, that's really true. Since all of this is just for money sake I think they can script out the total fight.
May be Tyson would also get a few punches on his face from Logan if that's on the script. What do you think ?
Will they go to such extent that they might script the whole fight or will Tyson keep his dignity and not lose it for money.
I think Mike still has his pride, some have stated that fights like this can ruin the legacy of a fighter and personally I do not believe so, however if the fight was scripted as you say I really think that is one of the few ways in which Mike could ruin his status as a professional boxer and a legend.

If he wants to do this for charity or because he needs the money or just because he misses being above the ring then that is fine, as long as the fight evolves within the rules of any fight then I have no problem with what happens above the ring even if he happens to lose, but a scripted fight is something that without a doubt the fans are not interested in watching at all.
He wouldnt really tend to ruin the thing he had built up for years back in the past and making himself look like funny or a clown on this upcoming fight
with Logan.

He would be surely thinking on how giving the fans a really good and satisfying performance and wont be tending on doing any bullshit to make look
himself to be a dumb one just for money that he could make on this fight.

Not really that surprising that there would be some criticisms but well lets just deal or bare with it.
2354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No one can continue ignoring Bitcoin on: November 12, 2021, 08:39:24 PM
That is because they fear volatility. Some people can't take the pressure of investing in something which can lose 50% of its price in a day or so, even though it's temporary. On the other hand, I believe bitcoin is already less volatile than it was in years ago, so the fear or dislike some people have regards the crypto currency will fade away as bitcoin becomes more consolidated as a trusted investment, especially among mainstream personalities.
The volatile Bitcoin price is one of the reasons why many people still ignore Bitcoin. Because most people are used to investing in Gold or usually
depositing their funds in a bank, they will consider Bitcoin too risky and unsafe. That's why I always recommend that cryptocurrency be included
in school subjects, so that many people understand crypto from an early age. Most people who decide to ignore Bitcoin because they really lack
knowledge about Bitcoin, and also maybe they got the wrong information about Bitcoin. So the majority of people today are still many who are
hesitant to invest in Bitcoin. We should as Bitcoin enthusiast at least educate the people around us to be able to get the right information about
Bitcoin. So it is expected that people investing in Bitcoin will continue to increase.

Volatility makes it alive, without volatility bitcoin would be like a stable coin. As well as volatility, It also has high liquidity, so you can liquidate your holding at any time if you want. If there was no volatility in the market, investors would not be attracted to it. If you have an idea about market movement and cycling, then volatility will bring you benefits.
If volatility doesnt exist on this coin then it would really just react as a fiat similar kind of movement then we wont really make this far because investors

wont really be that much interested because one of the factors on what makes it alive is that it did really give out the chance to make profits because of volatility.

We've been able to witness out for how many years on how this market moves and its just right that you would really be having this kind of perception
when it comes to investment actions.
2355  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you think about staking? on: November 11, 2021, 11:46:01 PM
Hi everybody

I wanted to talk about staking. In my opinion, this is a good way to increase assets that would otherwise just lie in the wallet. I recently tried staking on the NewsCrypto platform, the market situation is not entirely certain now, so I am trying to extract maximum profit from my assets.

Speaking of nws, I liked the fact that there are many different plans to choose from, I decided to try staking for 3 months to test the platform. But I think I was not mistaken about the decision. nws has a lot of positive news, and I think the price will only rise. What do you think about staking and do you use this feature?
Staking would only good if there are only few of you did really put or park their coins but whenever it does have lots of people who had put in then APY is greatly affected.

Also you should think off that custodial platforms are the ones who had been holding your coins and since you dont possess its keys then its not actually yours totally.

It would be much better if you do hold your assets for yourself and gained much more compared into those staking percentage that you could gain out of those things
which i dont see for it to be worth of the risk.

2357  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's new All Time High (ATH) has been reached this year again (X2) on: November 11, 2021, 09:40:32 PM
I'm not surprised that Bitcoin has been able to surpass a new ATH again this year, which means Bitcoin has experienced twice ATH this year in different months with not so long duration, which is about 6 months(+ -), and this is lagging -again proving that Bitcoin continues to strengthen and is trusted by everyone, but what I'm surprised is that all the popular Altcoins in the market have not reached their new ATH after having reached it together with Bitcoin in the previous 6 months.
What do you think this is affected by ? so Altcoin looks very difficult to increase now

One of the factors that pushed bitcoin prices to reach new ATH was influenced by several market sentiments. One of them is a bitcoin trading ETF launched by a futures exchange fund. However, Historically, during a Bull market, the cryptocurrency market saw Bitcoin experience a rapid uptrend first. Then, Altcoins followed, after BTC reached ATH and this has started where some altcoins have started to show significant gains.
Unlike before on those previous years that bitcoins price do move out without any attached sentiments or news but now we could somewhat attached those events or things happened around even though its not that
unpredictable but at least we do already have the idea.

Unlike before that whenever price had reached out new ATH then theres always a tendency for some crash or huge correction but it didnt really happen on this year which bitcoin did really able
to break out new ATH 2x or even 3x as of this recent 68k ath.

Next ATH? No one knows if it would able to hit again as of this year or onto the next.

You shouldnt expect that much that you could make money and take something whenever you do join up something because you arent the only ones who do tend to join and there are hundreds or even thousands.

Luck rate will not really be that be able to be calculated since we are really that different in terms on what we are dealing with so it wont really be that precise.

His investment was from his personal point, and Apple doesn't have any plans of investing/accepting cryptocurrency. This is a big news, and were into discussion around the social media platforms. Majority of the huge company CEO's own crypto. This is a big thing and an indication of growth of cryptocurrency network.

Source : The Verge
Crypto is for everybody and anyone could freely make out decisions whether they do take engagement or involvement or totally avoid it because we do have different stance and perceptions towards it.

We could freely make out decisions because its our own will whether we do buy or not and this one involves those people who are in big companies
which would really able to boost up even more in terms or exposure.

Wont be surprised if other big companies and personalities would really do the same as we do go ahead.
