My pick.

Game : Wizards vs TrailBlazers.

Portland are currently struggling, in their previous game, they lose to Denver by 32 points, so I cannot trust them against the Wizards. The spread is -7.5 for the Wizards but I think they can cover that as they can win at least 10 points in this game. Good luck and happy betting.
2462  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to hit $100k? on: January 15, 2022, 11:08:12 AM
They do just go with the flow and its true that people been hoping for $100k but didnt really made out some accumulation while its still cheap which means its pretty useless that way.
You got my point well. Yes that's what I mean, accumulation. At the moment it's hard to say when the $100K price will hit as the market has been on a downturn after ATH. But if we really believe how bitcoin hit ATH before then $100 is possible in the future. Accumulation is expected to provide a commensurate return and in most cases, investing in bitcoin is much more profitable than investing in gold. It's up to who believes in bitcoin or not, but you know what the facts are.

$100K is a long term target for bitcoin, we can't expect it any time soon. For this year 2022 we will still see a decline but a recovery can be expected due to increased adoption. It doesn't matter if $100K won't be reached by 2022, because we still have enough time to accumulation it before $100 becomes a reality.
Bitcoin is very much volatile so we can still expect that bitcoin will eventually reach the price of $100k but seeing the current condition of the market, bitcoin really finds it hard to recover from the dump. What i see that is very possible this year is surpassing the $50k price level, but considering $100k, it will be a long process and we still have to wait for the market to recover first before bitcoin ends up having a new ATH. But if this dump season will take a year before it will be over, bitcoin will create more possible price dumps and that will be the best time to accumulate bitcoin.

"A currency or an asset is for everyone but not everyone can afford it"

This is basically what the title says when I read or did I miss something. Since not everyone is in the same boat that's why most of them can't afford to buy a small amount of Bitcoin. They would rather buy it for foods than buy/invest in Bitcoin in order for them to live their everyday life but if someone who learned about how the Bitcoin market would work I think that someone would just invest in Bitcoin and hold it until the right time to sell or when there's a bull run.
Well, if you are more capable to invest, then you should have a sufficient amount of money to buy bitcoin and hodl. But for those who only have enough to sustain their family's basic needs, i think that will be a great barrier not to invest. Because even how determined you are that bitcoin will give you good amount of profits in the future, but the fact that you can't even start to buy it will make you deprived from the opportunity. But on the other hand, if you have good skills that will be your asset to make profits, i think better enhance and use it for good, sooner you will have enough funds to invest in bitcoin.
2464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who creates more impact in bitcoin price the Hodlers or Investors? on: January 14, 2022, 09:10:27 PM
The two main factors of bitcoin market hodlers and the investors sometimes I query myself about how much impact they have made in the price of bitcoin.

Note: The hodlers are early abductors of bitcoin that held their funds till date
         The investors are the early abductors that sold and invested into their business then later invested their profits into bitcoin. E.g Michael Saylor or Elon Musk.
Both, holders and investors creates an impact in the price equally but in a different way. You definition of hodler seems to be wrong. Anyone that buys and holds for long term are hodlers. All hodlers are investors. I guess what you meant over here is traders instead of hodlers. Traders buy and sell frequently to make profit. Traders have an impact on the price more. When most traders decide to sell, the price starts to crash within a short time. On other hand if most traders decide to buy, the price goes up. So traders can create price volatility. Hodlers on other hand impacts the price in the long run and the impact is usually short. Like suppose a long term whale hodler decided to sell his bag. This will cause the price to crash, but they usually recover soon. Small hodlers have little to no impact on the price.
I agree on you. Bitcoin price depends much both from hodlers and investors. And if we zoom it out, hodlers won't be hodling their coins if they have not invested in the first place. So they are investors and hodlers at the same time, and they both control the price of bitcoin.

However, long tern hodlers does not create more price movements as they are only waiting for the right price to sell, but traders on the other hand have more frequent activities like buying and selling more often, so i agree that they give more impact on the price of bitcoin compared to long term hodlers.
2465  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it time to enter the market and buy altcoins? on: January 13, 2022, 07:47:39 PM
If we go back to few days ago, we will see that the price of all coins, including BTC, was much higher, but now it is much lower. It would not be difficult for me to understand how much the market is worth buying in this situation, if the price has gone down by almost 70%. I think those who ৃare trying to buy now will be able to make a good profit.
Definitely this is a good time to enter the market and prepare your extra funds to buy altcoins and bitcoin. Bitcoin may have seen recovering from the dump but as of the moment, its price drops back again. And same goes for altcoins too. So there is no reason that we will not buy this time as prices are still dumping. And once there is a dump, its always a good time to buy coins that have high potentials. But always invest in an amount you can afford to lose, i guess its always important not to put yourself in an unexpected loss.

Fiat sportsbooks are more secure for me, but if you like to enjoy anonymity then crypto sportsbook is the answer for you. The secret here is don't risk all you got in one sportsbook as that would help you minimize the risk. Actually, I have been gambling for years using a crypto sportsbook and I'm happy to tell you that I did not encounter any serious problem.
2467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 13, 2022, 11:48:07 AM
My early pick.

Clippers vs Pelicans.

Pelicans here for me is the better team, they won their last 2 home games so there's no reason to bet against them. -3 is not so high and I think this odds is not a trap or something, the better team will win here and that will be the home team. SO GL to us, fade or follow.  Smiley
2468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 10, 2022, 09:53:34 PM
It is insane how bad they are on transition defense as well, Memphis kept getting quite easy buckets on transition as well, they just need to have some sort of hype to get back on defense quicker, they can't just slack off because it's NBA and every team is dangerous if you slack.
That's what happened when a team lacks chemistry, they are not playing on the same page sometimes. The fact that Lebron is trying hard to score more than his average, that means he badly wants to make his team better and he is literally carrying it on his shoulder, without Davis who can help him to win, they'll likely experience more loses against top contender teams in the NBA.
2469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: January 10, 2022, 09:16:46 PM
Both of them has something to proved, Spence wanted to remain on top of this division, while Ugas wanted to show that his win is no fluke against Pacman.

And this is a great style matchup, both can be aggressive and can also play defensive and then be a counter puncher so this is really a great fight in paper although Spence will be the favorite but it will be more closer that we anticipated it to be.
Yes you are right there mate this two fighter want to prove that they are the best  in their division . If spence will win this match then it makes sense that Spence is still undefeated and the best. But if Ugas will win this match I think that's the time that Ugas will be known in everywhere cause this fight is the one of those biggest fight of ugas sense spence is undefeated and very popular in the world of boxing.
Fans would want Spence to win so the big fight between two undefeated champions will happen, that will be a big fight in the boxing world if we will see spence vs Crawford, and now that Crawford is not anymore under the Top Rank promotion, the likelihood of it happening is very close.

That's what most boxing fans are waiting, this division needs to have only on top fighter, the winner between Ugas and Spence will then be possible to face Crawford, In same manner, it's good to see both undefeated fighters showcasing their talents, Spence and Crawford would be another fight that this sport will produce to entertain a lot of fans who are waiting for this to happen.

You mentioned this important info, Crawford is no longer under top rank , very possible that both camps will discuss the possibilities after the fight against Ugas..

Let us not count Thurman out yet, there's a benefit for him if he wins this match as if Crawford and Spence will not choose to fight each other, they can choose Thurman to fight, and with that, I think it's still a great fight as Thurman is a real champion for me and has a good chance of beating either of the two names mentioned.
2470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 10, 2022, 08:48:12 PM
The odds are really good for Magsayo. So for those who believe this will be an upset, this is a very good one to bet on.
Russell is the favorite of bookies here because of his record, but upsets can happen anytime.
Almost x4 for most bookies if you put your money on Magsayo, so let's see if this will not change once the fight is getting near.
The KO percentage is 70% vs 56%, in favor of Magsayo. So yes, this is not bad to based on.

Very good odds indeed for Magsayo fans but risky though. These odds could go higher if the bookies will release the other options/markets like the winning method. Magsayo via KO win will go as high as 8 i think, double with the ML.

If this fight will go to the distance, chances are this is money in the bag for Russell so Magsayo's chance here is winning by KO so betting for him via that option is the way to go, for me.

I like the KO odds, I think you are right, probably it's high than the ML but the odds won't be available now, so let's wait for it to confirm. Magasyo has a good chance for KO, he has the power and he is more active, at the same time, he understands that if the fight will go into distance, his chances of winning will reduce so he will surely find a way to score a KO and make a big news to the world of boxing.
2471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 10, 2022, 08:28:00 PM
And the Lakers lost again! lol the best recruiter in the looks like he's going to for a new talent coz their bigs are useless
Should've taken Cousins for that 10 day contract and tried him out. Now Nuggets will be have a stronger defender below the rim.

Lakers streak was broken and this tells they are not the caliber we are expecting, yet. It could've ended worse in a blowout game at 20 points upward of a lead from the Grizzlies but thanks to the 2nd team led by Austin Reeves it was cut down creating a 17-0 run. They thought it was over but he pumped the fans in Crypto.com Arena by giving them hope. I thought Frank Vogel is going to switch to his stars but thank God he didn't. Those guys deserves to stay in the game and finish it on their own.

We have a discussion about few pages ago saying that Memphis will be a big test to see if Lakers have the chemistry already. And now we got the answer, they are only good when they played a team that has a below .500. And teams they've fought with a winning record? they usually lost as seen in their last game against Ja Morant.

You said it right, we've seen what they can do and they could not beat Memphis which is not really a championship team. However, I know the Lakers are trying their best, they are still undermanned now, they missed one of their best players so it's understandable, as long as they keep hanging to the playoff spot, they'll still be very dangerous in the playoffs.

You got a point right there that they're undermanned, but being undermanned isn't going a good excuse for the Lakers because only Anthony Davis is the only missing as a key player of their team and aside from that fact, they have Westbrook, Carmelo and Howard which could make them aleady a tough team. But sadly, the Lakers now is really inadequate and miserable to see. I mean, look at the Heats, they have the most missing players in the league too.
But you're right, as long as they keep their spot they can be still dangerous in the upcoming games and in the playoffs. There's still a lot of room to learn.

They missed the biggest player on the team next to Lebron James. The good thing with AD is his consistency inside the coach, and I did not see that on Westbrook although they say that he is part of the big 3. Without Davis, this team would really struggle against a stronger team or teams with at least 0.500 record.

So I was able to recover those from the Bucks losses.
Nice! Congratulations, bro.

Thank you mate, but I got just got a so-so win in tonight's game, I should have stick to 1-2 games at least. However, I look for more games and more wins.

Chicago Bulls was one of them, I have them parlay with the Warriors at even -1.5. Unfortunately, I take a lost on that one as the Bulls winning streak has been cut off by the Mavericks.

I was on bad timing, I also bet on the Bulls thinking they can continue their win streak to 10, but I was wrong the Mavericks just did their thing to beat the Bulls. That's alright, let's move forward to the upcoming games. So my early pick is the Charlotte, taking the +2.5 against the Bucks, I won last time, hope this would be the 2nd.
2474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Meme coins still makes you rich or end of trend? on: January 09, 2022, 08:22:32 PM
Meme trend won't be end totally, in my opinion. People will keep investing on meme coins cause they already saw how meme coins can change life by making millionaire. So they would thought that, investing few fund from their total assets Won't be bad idea to try luck by investing on meme coins. Although thus people will trapped by scummers but i don't think this meme hype will be stopped soon
I also see good chances that meme coins will be hype again once the market will recover. And as expected, people will grab this chance again investing in meme coins as they are looking forward to make profits even in a short time. But still, we should be cautious in investing from them as the hype may suddenly ends and leave us in losses. Well, its not bad then if we can put even a small amount in these memes, but don't expect that you'll be gaining profits at the end of the day. Just invest on the amount you can afford to lose.
2475  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop or continue trading on: January 09, 2022, 07:47:15 PM
I have lost all my capital to trading but still yet I feel the urge to trade more, I spent a huge capital to trade some new coins recently and was actively involved in spot trading. But recently I lost all my capital and I decided to give a break but now am feeling I should return back to trading.

Trading is not an easy crypto job. It needs knowledge, timing, strategy and patience. It depend on how you handle your trading and also on a kind of coin or tokens you have traded. If you are eager to continue trading, then just learn from your experienced and improve your strategy to avoid too much losses.
It's true trading is very complex and when we don't have anything better think well before starting to trade,
the risk is very big so it's not something easy,
Here we must prepare knowledge, skills and even mental well before starting to trade
Well, trading needs more focus and good strategies so you'll  be profitable in it. And if you think you are ready to return in trading, just make sure you have already enhanced your skill and build new strategies that will help you improve your trading so you won't be making the mistakes again. Because if you just want to come back just because you want to regain your losses without much preparation, i think this is not a good idea as you will only repeat making the same mistakes again and certainly add more losses on your previous trading experiences.
2476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A quick reminder from Eric Adams, mayor of the City of New York. on: January 09, 2022, 07:29:33 PM
As of this writing, the bitcoin's value is currently trading at a price of $42.9k , declining 11% since December 2021.
With this current market situation, it's already anticipated that many would panic and sell their assets out of fear in line to the market's sudden steep declination and with these much selling of assets, we can't deny that it would have an impact bitcoin's value.

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City was right, instead of going panic and sell what you're hodling, then might as well see this current situation as an advantage to buy bitcoin at a much more cheaper price and think of it as an extended year-end sale. After that, wait until the market recover in-order to reap the profits because it will surely recover and it's been already proven historically.

Exactly. That's how we should look the market positively and not that we should panic seeing all our investments are falling.  Bitcoin is clearly in a bargain right now with its current price at $42,317 so if we can accumulate as much as we can, then we will be in a huge profits by the time reaches its new all time high. And for good altcoins, i can see that they are also struggling in their current prices and they will only start to recover after bitcoin has return to its normal value. So now is the perfect time to buy bitcoin and altcoins and definitely hodl them for long term.
2477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 09, 2022, 03:16:39 PM
Duke Micah engaged because he thinks he can take John Riel power in the early round and he himself was very confident that Casimero can't take his power that's why the fight was really a lot of fireworks in the beginning. But he was totally wrong as Casimero has a good chin and that he is the one who can't take the power as he was clearly knock down and bloodied in the nose forcing the referee to stop the fight although he protested it.
That's exactly what I saw, I'd love to see that kind of opponent again and I hope Butler would not doubt that he can take down Casimero. Maybe that's the reason why Inoue is not too confident if he will fight Casimero because he knows he has a strong chin and probably a strong body as well which is Inoue's target in most of the fights he won.
That's just an speculation that Inoue is not confident to win against Casimero, but based on his record, we know that he is something special and his high KO rate is the evidence of that. You know, people will not stop speculating until these two will fight, so Inoue should give Casimero a chance to fight with him this year.

Yes!
Whenever the market crashes, new people think that now it's end of crypto but, they proved wrong. And the same will happen this time as well. Those who think that this is the end of bitcoin or crypto market will be proved wrong.
Bitcoin died over 400 times, that explains why bitcoin and crypto will pump again.

Bitcoin will dump temporarily but it will recover.

The market would not be attractive if we will always see a pump, that's not normal anymore and beyond the bitcoin trends. After the bull market, we will experience a bear market, so take it because that's the reality.
2479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 09, 2022, 01:40:19 PM
I have a pick for this game.

Milwaukee vs Charlotte

I'm not sure what's happening why Charlotte is -1 in this game. After the Bucks beat the Nets, they are now an underdog against the Charlotte. I think this is an obvious trap, I like the Bucks but in this situation, I'd rather go against the public perception.

Therefore my pick is Charlotte -1.. Good luck guys!
I was in that same dilemma when I am looking at the spreads so I checked the injury report. It's just Jrue Holiday that is listed so I took the bet as fast as I could for the Bucks. I hope it's not a trap.  Cry
Bucks -1.5. - Yeah, I even took the -1.5 bet because I thought it was a mistake from betting lines. Well, will just cheer for the Bucks anyway.


Well, it wasn't really a mistake but a big trap, I knew it, sometimes my instinct is right.



Anyway, moving forward to the upcoming games.

I choose the Bulls vs Mavericks game and I'm going with the streaking team. Just one more win and this will be their 10th win streak.

Therefore my pick is Bulls -3.5 on the road.

2480  Economy / Speculation / Re: Elsavador President Predicting $100,000 Bitcoin price looks like another joke on: January 08, 2022, 11:15:50 PM
The same will happen as did with expecting $10k it will hit it and due to momentum surpass it at an insane rate.
Expect $190k and a hard blow-off at the top... Grin

It's true that getting to 100K is not impossible, actually it's an easy thing to get but that won't be as soon as the president of El salvador hopes, I assume he's doing this price forecast because he bought a lot of bitcoin for the price of  $42000 and now he's at high losses unless the price goes up a lot, that's why he's trying to convince 100K people to buy a lot of people and the price goes up a lot and he's not at the loss anymore
It would surely be a bumpy ride but doesnt mean that it cant be reached out and we are just +30k away with that price and we know on Bitcoins potential isnt something that you could just ignore because this thing do continue to surprise us over the years that we are heading on.

Even though there would be no assurance about the future thats why its still a risk taking to be made whenever you do really trust up Bitcoin in future years to come.

I cant blame out El Salvadors President point of view about that price yet they had already made out big decisions on making btc as a legal tender which its understandable
that he would really be that optimistic.
And i think being optimistic despite of the continuous bearish market is the best thing to do so we can always be motivated to grab every chances to make profits that comes. And when bearish season will be over, predicting bitcoin to reach $100k will always be possible as bitcoin is bound to give us higher value in every year that comes. It may not happen this year, but definitely it will soon to happen by next year. So we have to keep our faith in bitcoin and continue to be patient as much as possible.
