Moving on to the upcoming games, we have some interesting games and the best game for me  is the Warriors vs Nets.

Durant is supposed to meet his old team but he was out, so it's gonna be Irving and Harden who will play the Warriors.
Though both stars are listed as probable now, but I hope they'll be playing so this game would be more interesting to watch.

My bet is GSW -6. GL!

I understand you because this has been an unresolved issue for quite long already. But maybe you can check this because this might clear when will be the release of ETH 2.0 and i can see this is not happening soon. Here's the link..https://www.gamerevolution.com/guides/700294-ethereum-2-0-release-date-eth2-upgrade-phase-1-2-when-2022

If this will not be fix by the said year, i think i should just live to it that ethereum gas fee will never be reduced.
About that, it's the name that will be changed and won't be called ETH 2.0. That's the news that I've heard as a summary but I haven't gone through with most of its details. I think that this problem of high fees will be resolved soon *closed fingers*.
The devs have their say but just like anybody else, we want this to happen as soon as possible so we can enjoy again the cheap fees per transaction for ethereum and as well as erc20 tokens.
We all heard about this problem about high gas fees but until now, there is no solution yet. So its either we'll get used to to this and accept the fact that ethereum high fees will be forever. However, Vitalik proposed a new solution to tackle about this ethereum's high gas fees, i just hope this time it will fully resolved. Check it here: https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/vitalik-buterin-proposes-breakthrough-solution-to-tackle-high-gas-fees-on-ethereum-network-202201060924

First, learn with your past mistakes.

If you've been trading for a few months or longer, you already have enough experience and knowledge that you can use to take advantage of those mistakes you did in the past.

Avoid being greedy and you should always target what's achievable. What's wrong with the new traders today, they're idealists but they're not realistic.
I think the best way so we can avoid being greedy is to have satisfaction in the profits we have. Set aside the get rich quick mentality. We can be rich in time by trading but we can do it more slowly, and not to keep chasing the market. Overtrading will only make you a loser in the end because you end up gambling even your hard earned money.

Hi everyone, it's been awhile, just wanted to tell you that I still haven't sold a bit of BTC since 2013... if I can do it you can do it too!

Some of you may say it's a dumb decision or risky, but I'm all for BTC and positive about it. To the Moon!

Its not dumb but a privilege. Being financially stable or in control enough to not have to spend all the bitcoins you are saving, you are very lucky and I am pretty that if you ask anybody here, no one will ever sell their bitcoin unless necessary or in a tight emergency. Had I been in such a situation, I would only accumulate and would not care about trading, even more so after seeing the increase in value as time passes. Anyway, congratulations on holding up to this day. Having enough money is also considered as a personal trait. If you have an advantage, why not use it, right?
Its my wish to hold bitcoin as long as i want, but until now it was never realized. Good for you OP that you were able to do the right thing.

"Investors that have strong convictions and have done the research are able to hold for long periods of time, riding out rocky market events." That is according to Prince Alwaleed Bin Tala, a well known in the investing world.

Everyone seemed to be trusting the 76ers here to win. Well, as I always said, I still don't like the Lakers due to inconsistency, therefore I will also fade them tonight and go with the 76ers -4. Good luck everyone, let's win tonight.  Smiley
2446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 24, 2022, 09:36:31 PM
The vote says it All with 19 Magsayo and only 6 for russel?

but also i believe that if Russel has no Injury? then Mark Magsayo will be having more difficult chance of winning.
It will be a difficult fight if Russell is not injured. Russell is still very quick and fast even with his just left hand in the fight. Hopefully, we can see a rematch so really see what will be the outcome of the fight.
Indeed, although I bet on Magsayo I gotta admit to myself that it's what I saw. it's just so unfortunate for Rusell, he wasn't able to fight well to defend his title, but I'm sure he'll get a rematch as Magsayo has to prove to the fans that he can win even against a healthy Rusell.

Despite the fact that he is already a champion now, we can still see that he has some weaknesses and that his movement is pretty much easy to predict. The power he has in his punches are good already, there's just some improvement he has to make, it should be the footwork and choosing the quality of punches he has to throw, if he can perfect that, then I would say he really would become a dangerous fighter who has power and speed.

Exactly, that's what I saw as well. He won the fight but could not dominate it despite Rusell being injured and fighting with one hand only. We know Rusell is a sore loser but he was really good, and if he wasn't injured, he could have given Magsayo a boxing lesson as he can hit him and he is fast. Magsayo without a good timing in throwing his punches, he might get tired in the later rounds, so it's an area of improvement for him.

^Thank you stadus. Same pick for me with Golden State Warriors -5.5. Utah Jazz is in bad shape for now without the Spider and they even lost against the Rockets a couple of games ago. And to add to that problem are Gobert and Bogdanovic as questionable for the game.


We lost, Warriors won but the spread was not covered. If it was only a high scoring game then there's  a chance the spread will be covered. But it's fine, we can bounce back later, though there are only 4 games available but I can choose the best one to cap. With that said, I'm with the Utah Jazz +9.5 and ML.

I like the Jazz here after seeing what them play yesterday, they are still a good shooting team even with Donovan Mitchell's absence, It's going to be a different game against the Phoenix Suns for sure but I believe the spread is just about right enough for them to easily cover.
They were able to compete with the Warriors and cover the handicap, with this higher handicap, it's so tempting and therefore putting some bet on ML is automatic for me.

I really don't like any other fixture from today, but I'll be taking the Over 202.5 in the Cavaliers vs New York Knicks, and hopefully it's not just a trap.
Good luck, you got the OT as your chance to win the total in case it will be a low scoring game as I think it will also be a close game.
2448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 24, 2022, 08:32:29 PM
The Lakers' next three games will be against the Nets, 76ers, and then Hornets. This might sink them to the 9th spot of the West if they won't win at least 1 of them. 7th spot will be their safe zone and even with the play-in tournament they only need 1 win to advance to the playoffs. How I wish they will be a fresh Lakers team after the All-Star break.
With Portland Trail Blazers trying to squeeze every win they could get (2 win streak) the Lakers might even find themselves being in the 10th seed if nothing good will be done.
We can't expect too much from Lakers for the Nets game but if they are claiming to be a championship team, for the 76ers and Hornets games they should show some strength. Against the Nets, I am not so sure they can beat a strong Nets team. Especially without Anthony Davis. It seems like he was one of the key players, if not the most important player including the old Lebron we see now. If he returns healthy and if he will be his full capacity, things can change for the good. Every Lakers fan and everyone who will bet on Lakers these days must look at if AD has come back or if he is, how good he is.
AD might start playing soon, with him in the lineup, things are expected to improve.

Well, the Lakers definitely need to start winning now, they are in danger of losing a playoff stop and they are now below 0.500.
The only thing I hope is when Davis comes back, hopefully, he won't be injured again as they need to climb the ladder of competition to gain a home-court advantage once the playoffs will start.

But at least another Filipino Boxer climb up ring and now having a Belt of his career , congrats and more wins to come .
Yes, and we will have to wait for Casimero vs Butler. Another Filipino who has the belt right now, and if Casimero won then it will be a double celebration for Filipino boxing fans across the globe.
It's a good match as well, however, we don't know yet when it's gonna happen.
2450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 24, 2022, 12:17:30 PM
Miami Heat - LA Lakers game was really delightful and Heat won the game just as I expected. It was a 113-107 victory and Heat totally deserved it by a great team play. Lebron was Lakers' best as always. He got 33 pts, 11 reb. This time, Westbrook also played well and he got 24 pts, 9 reb, 9 ast. He was really close to making a triple-double. But Lakers still lost the game as the rest of the players couldn't contribute too much. Heat have captured the lead in the conference again by this win and I really wonder what they will do in the playoffs.

It was an entertaining match I have to say. Even though the Lakers played really well in the last quarter, but it was not enough for them to get the win.
Heat got the early lead in the first quarter as they were 39-25. Butler is back and he scored 20 points with 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Duncan Robinson gave him good support by scoring 25 points. Lebron is as always the goat for the Lakers, he scored 33 points, and to my surprise, WB also played a good game but you know, it wasn't enough to beat the Heat.

When you have Westbrook and LeBron having great games and it's still not enough to overcome an opponent, you know that something is wrong with the supporting cast.

Please don't blame Vogel, Lebron, or Westbrook for this. It's essentially a disaster in the making given that they are such a badly constructed team.

The lack of continuity between seasons is certainly a contributing factor towards their demise as well.

There has someone to be blamed, when the team is not working well then most likely the problem is the coach because he has the authority to make a command for the success of the team. LA Lakers is a team, although they have Lebron and Westbrook, they need to work as a team in order for them to become a championship team.

Of course, I think its very good opportunity for those people who want,s to invest in Crypto currency.if the people who think bitcoin will be zero they will know very soon because very soon we will se very good pump in all crypto currency ,and people who are old in Crypto currency field they know very well ,and they aren't worry at this time, because they know the bitcoin will show the pump very soon.
Investing in crypto and more particularly with bitcoin won't create immediate profits if that's what you expect. It will still take a long term hodling and may even tests your faith and patience before you will succeed and make profits with bitcoin. And once that you're convinced not because your peers are doing so you don't want to be out of the trend, so make the best move now and invest in bitcoin. But of course, even if a lot would say that bitcoin will return us with huge amount of profits, its always important to still invest with the amount we can afford to lose so we won't be selling immediately our coins once the market suddenly turn sideways.
2453  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC Dip on: January 23, 2022, 09:40:26 PM
March is about 2 months from now and I want to say it is not a realistic speculation that bitcoin will get to that $100,000. It is very close time for that, bitcoin has not stabilize yet, still facing bear and looking to go down more to $35k if it breaks $40k. This is the overview of the price and today being friday is not really looking fine for a bull. The price is still dropping  and trying to stabilize below $40k.
I think we will see a big spike up this year but probably near summer. With global situation being that we are probably going to a recession in next couple years there is the time where we can see really bearish market.

Nothing is certain about bitcoin though. It price dropping lately is not unexpected but with regards to global situation I don't see that being a phenomenon that will affect bitcoin. We remember that covid-19 is a global situation and killing people globally but it didn't affect the price of bitcoin, bitcoin instead made a remarkable improvement up and got different highs. I don't think even wars will affect the direction of bitcoin if it already on the trend.
We all know that bitcoin can be too unpredictable too. It may sometimes very affected with a positive or negative news, but sometimes it seems not even affected though and even made a price surge that leads to its new heights. So we can't certainly predict what will be the next move of bitcoin as its just moves differently leaving us unaware.

However, with the market having a bearish season, i'm not convinced that the market will eventually recover again which will make bitcoin reaches its new heights. This whole market is still driven with dips and this may lasts longer until we witness significant news that will bring big changes in the market.
2454  Economy / Speculation / Re: are we going to have "fear" months? on: January 23, 2022, 09:22:20 PM
Why stop at months, I think we can speculate this whole year might be a fear year.  I'd call it consolidation, natural process and revision and its not as bad as it appears but people get to fear readily so yep good call by OP.     
  I'm not a great fan of hype either, if somehow I could trade both engage and sell I would be alot richer doing so.    It often OTT overdone silly fear imo, BTC behind the scenes matters more.
It's better to speculate based on year than months because we can see a bigger picture using a year as our basis. Well, the market maybe bearish now but that would never end the crypto market, like in the past, this is the trend that we are seeing again, and if we didn't make the right decision in the past, this is the time to correct that and it should start from buying the dip so we can stock some crypto assets for the coming bull market.
You're right. We often missed opportunities something like this so now is the perfect time to to fill our bags again with our potential coins and we should start buying from the dip. It will be even a lot better if we can buy in every dip so that if we can see that the bearish trend continues, then we can maximize buying from these cheap prices. I guess there's no room for fear in crypto this time as people should be more greedy than be fearful when faced with opportunities like this. 
2455  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It won't hurt on: January 23, 2022, 02:44:25 PM
It won't hurt to have 100,000 shiba inu coin in your wallet you know, I'm saying this because I used to have 1,000,000 doge coin in my wallet but got tired of holding it and sold, we both know how much that it today so we can't say if shiba can make its way to where doge coin is right now, it won't hurt to have some in holding
It is not going to hurt if you keep holding your shiba inu, anything is possible within the crypto space. Tomorrow it is possible that shiba inu ATH can go over that of doge, but also keep in mind that it can also not go well. But, patients is what you need because you may invest with shiba inu the only amount which is affordable to you on the event of shiba inu gets dumped and delisted from exchanges, so you need to be patience until something happens with shiba inu.

I agree about investing the amount which will not hurt you on losing it but the question is why shiba inu and not any other coin. Because, like shiba inu, we are having at least 100s of similar coins with potential to rise in future. Now, if I invest my small amount into all 100 coins then that will definitely hurt me if I happen to lose 50% of them.
Right. You won't be hurting yourself and won't make a loss if you never sell your Shiba Inu. But the question is how long will you be able to hold them? If the value won't eventually recover again, i think that will hurt you the most because there is no chance to make profits from them. If you are investing in those high risk coins, think of its consequences, and not just the luck that it will bring once it reaches an all time high. So to be more assured that you won't be losing in the end, invest in bitcoin and other established coins as they won't just depend on hype or let's say luck.

Trading is gambling. There’s no doubt about it.


You can already see he's biased and full of regret. Trading is not gambling, but it's not for idiots either. You can be a trader who trades with 10% of his money, waits for a big positive signal to buy and a trully negative signal to sell. Like when you buy after the price breaks the old ATH and don't trade with leverage, that's pretty smart. Holding long term and exiting with some money every time the price goes 2x is also smart. Going in with all your money on a trade with 20x leverage is the fastest way to a homeless shelter or a rehab and this guy is a living proof.
From the case here, it's not just about trading that ruined him, but alcohol and drugs that made him like that.
As for trading, I think he's just looking for excuses about the effects of alcohol and drugs that make him addicted.
technically things like this actually have no correlation but indeed I really agree with what you said even though it is indeed very far-fetched but trading is not for stupid people Grin
This is the reason why everyone can do trading but trading itself is not meant for everyone. And being stupid as you've said will never succeed in trading. But in the case of Steven, its not surprising really because he is addicted into drugs and alcohol so we cannot expect that he can do more good in trading, even if he's good enough in the past. And to think that he doesn't have any access on his wallet address, well he must be some kind of a trader who don't have any focus that's why he lost everything in crypto.
2457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 23, 2022, 01:12:07 PM
Congrats to the winners, I see that most of the posters here were betting on Magsayo, you enjoy the day.  Smiley

That was so lucky for Magsayo, Rusell got injured so he took advantage of it.
If Rusell wasn't injured, I think Magsayo might lose in this fight because the scorecards result were very close, one judge even score a draw.

The judge that scores the draw is questionable given the compu box results but this is boxing a lot of controversies when it comes to going to the judges' score, Magsayo is being very careful because he knows he is fighting a strong fighter with a very good experience but like all the opinions here he is indeed lucky, Gary Russell can call a rematch if there is a clause in their contract, the argument is he is not 100% although it's not Magsayo's fault.

As always, they would favor the champion but not enough cheating for this fight. Scoring a draw is insane, they see that the champion is only fighting with one hand and there's no way he could win as Magsayo is also fast and fierce in the fight, maybe next time the favor would go to Magsayo as he is the current champion.

I think it will be blatant cheating if the judges score the fight for Russell as it is very clearly that Magsayo did enough to push the fight and hit Russell cleanly specially in the later rounds.

If for reasons, the judges score it for Russell, for sure there will be a lot of uproar and those judges are going to be in the hot seat for that decision. So they can't allow that except maybe for that one judge who have it a draw. So the reign of Russell has come to an end. Bring Leo Sta Cruz next for Magsayo, sure as hell that will be a entertaining fight.

I'm sure Magsayo has learned from that fight although he gets the championship. He was too emotional during the post-fight interview, he said it's been his dream since he was still a kid to become a world champion, now that dream was already achieved, what's next for him?

My early pick.

Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors.

I'm leaning on the warriors here, though they have some struggle in their last game I think their home record is good enough for me to be convinced to back the Warriors.

Michell is out, so it will be a fair match as the Warriors have no Green.

For me buying low and sell high is important and it is the most popular strategic way of earning in crypto, but the most important is the project itself and the posible outcome of the particular project if there is a chance to be successful or not price really matter but the most important is the project, we need to select good project for good.
You are right. We can expect that since the market is in dips right now, all coins are probably have lower prices. And when there is dips, there is good opportunity to buy those cheap coins in the market. But we don't have to buy all those coins which are in bargain, since not all of them have potentials to grow. This is the reason why we still need to be careful on buying this time as not all coins are safe to buy, some are definitely shitcoins that will only waste our money and time hodling them and end up losing money from them.
2460  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2022: Bullish or bearish for crypto? on: January 22, 2022, 11:24:29 PM
With current market conditions, it's better to be patient and don't be in a hurry to make investment decisions,
I think for now follow the development first and hope the market can recover soon
Investing in good coins can still be done by anyone now and there is no need to wait long for it even though the market is not in a good condition during January this year, but if it can be better next month, then buy now Of course it will be very profitable.
I agree. The opportunity is already in front of us because we have seen that all coins are definitely in dips. And the fact that dips is happening, then its a good time to buy and hold. For now, i can say that the market is totally bearish but i guess it won't be the same in the next couple of months. Bullish season might also appear at the last quarter of the year so this year might be a season for both. So there' no need to fear even if the dips is getting deeper because it won't be forever like that.
