It was reached in a huge value.The investors at that value of 69k dollars was still holding their bitcoin for the pump.But the thing is their was half the price was reduced from the 69k dollars.It was struggling to reach back of 42k dollars.So it's essential one for the investors at high to keep your holding for the longer period.Incase, you was new trader. Looking this trade means, kindly buy of 2 bitcoin for your retirement.

Or if they didn't sell at the top, it's better to continue to accumulate when the price goes below $40k. Resistance along this price line is very strong, as we're having a difficult time to break it. And if we do break it, the price will not stay that long as short term traders takes advantage and sell to make a quick profit. And with this kind fo scenario, it's better to really just buy bitcoin whenever you can for your retirement or just for your future and for your children's future.

As for me, I lost the bet because spread was -3.5 for me and the Nets haven't covered it well, I'm just a point shy from that bet though Grin

Things like that happen, better luck next time, maybe you'll get it right. Nets spread was really tempting, but it turns out a trap for those who took the point spread. Well, maybe next time they'll cover if Irving would play as we can see Durant alone cannot make his team dominate their opponent.

I don't think it's a trap, it that point spread is double digit, then yeah it could be. But -3.5 is really doable. It's that the break of the game didn't favor for the Nets to win big.

Durant has a big game, but the Knicks keeps the game alive and very close up to the final seconds. There is no garbage time, but we can go back to the next game and win.
2463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 14, 2022, 09:40:15 AM
^^Right, that's what I'm trying to say, Casimero should take this fight lightly or not to think about the possible money he has to make if he was given the chance to fight thte monster. For now his fellow Filipino will have the job to beat the Inoue. All he can do is wait for the result, concentrate of Butler, crack him score a knock out and let his win propel him to Inoue.

That is exactly what he needs right now since he was kinda spoiled his last fight and trying to be cool in this one and it didn't work well that's why the fight has now been delayed. Thankfully Donaire took that chance and give him enough space to concentrate on this one. He really needs to put everything to win this fight and work hard for K.O Butler because that would be his ultimate ticket if Donaire lost the fight with Inoue.

Yes, we are talking about his future fight, but Casimero has one in his hand right now and it is not going to be a walk in the park fight. Butler will go and show his talent in front of his hometown and Casimero will have to dig deeper and try to knock out Butler so that there will be no doubt.

For now, stop pre-occupying his mind with Inoue, because it will not help him that much in this fight.

Murray vs Bublik - surprisingly Murray is the favorite to win, what do you guys think about this match?


Why not take the risk and go for Bublik in this match?

We have talk how Murray is old and past his prime and maybe Bublik can take this one and win. The ML is attractive enough with the odds @2.x.

that was a good prediction, Bublik did actually win, Murray put up a good fight in the first set and had chances to win it, and I think if did won it things could have been really different, Murray gave Bublik troubles on his serve games and managed to win games on his serve quite easily but things went the other way on the second set for Murray on his serve and it only took one game on his serve to cost him the second set and match, I hate to admit it but Murray is done competitively.

Thanks, @2.34 I will take that win anytime of the day. I didn't watch the match though, time difference, but I'm glad that I won my bet.

Zverev and Carreno-Busta is out, both are favorites to win their respective match, tough lost for both of them as the match was extended to a 3rd set and in a time break.
2465  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How weird is it to borrow money and invest into Bitcoin? on: March 13, 2022, 11:34:58 PM
Tried it like 2x already, but I would say that it has it's perks specially if you have invested it prior to the bull run. But I don't like the risk though, so I return the money right now and get my profits and then reinvest. so I'm debt free and then my money is growing (although we are in a bear market right). But for those who are willing to take the risk, then why not? It's up to you on how you are going to play the game. If you know the risk and can still make money then by all means, no one can stop you from doing it.
2466  Economy / Economics / Re: The economy is important for a family! on: March 13, 2022, 11:10:18 PM
I am married and have 1 daughter.

As we know, the economy is very important for families, of course, to support daily life and plan for the future. In addition to working we also need a savings or investment and this is the responsibility of parents. But if something happens that we don't want, such as death. By leaving a little treasure to our children, do we need to provide crypto investment education to our children? is it necessary?

As a parent I want to give my best.

I want to hear your opinion guys.

Of course, even prior to getting married, as what our parents have advise us, be prepared before having a family because it is going to be a long journey. So it is important that you have a stable job, or some money in the side and have a savings. And with that said, I think crypto or bitcoin is a good alternative to put your money and accumulate and save overtime. I'm not really sure though what you mean by crypto investment education. Maybe you can just give your children some crypto and let them learn by themselves.

But there is also this scenario of Donaire beating Inoue.

I don't think that Donaire vs Inoue will happen. They have sit down and settle things up already. And the Donaires is the one who help Casimero get out of the MP promotions and join him with Probellum.

But perhaps the Inoue even if he lost can go and fight Casimero for the money.
2468  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I was tempted to sell off altcoin on: March 13, 2022, 10:10:24 PM
It seems to me that now is not the best time for altcoins.Now it is very important to form a strong portfolio that can survive all the fluctuations in the market. You can purchase only if you have a lot of free funds, and then you need to be careful with the choice.
I would wait for the crypto winter and then make my decision on whether to invest and on which project. We already saw majority of the hyped up projects touching their all time high valuation and if you were able to book your profit, then it is good for you as the correction was pretty huge as wall from its all time high and considering we already touched the all time high valuation, i am waiting for the major correction and then make my investment decision.

I think we are already in the beginning of the crypto winter, but I guess the second quarter is where the price will really go down and suffer. And maybe that is the time to think whether we are going to reinvest. But for me that is the easiest part. The hard part is going to be how long you are going to hold on those altcoins. It will be hard and tough to see your portfolio not making money in the next 2-3 years. So there could be time that you are tempted, just saying. So there is also this mental aspect of the game.
2469  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto prices crash as threat of war looms on: March 13, 2022, 01:54:38 PM
Before all this whole event took place, Bitcoin is already headed downwards, so what this whole issues did to the market is that, it helped in pushing the price further lower but the won't change the overall direction.. News event can only spike the price and movement of a trend in a particular direction and I don't think it will change the overall direction, hence the price of Bitcoin should have pushed further downwards than where it's right now due to all this uncertainty.
Without a doubt news have the ability to exacerbate the response of the markets, however the difference with a war is that it is an event that is ongoing, and as the sanctions against Russia keep accumulating and the losses in terms of human lives keep growing then the effects they can have over this market can increase or decrease with time, unlike with what we see with other events which may have an effect on this market, but the effect they have is extremely limited due to the quick nature of the event itself.

The news of the war though really magnify how crypto is important on both side. Some say with the sanctions, Russia can uses crypto to get around those penalty, will the Ukrainian government is receiving lots of crypto donation.

However, with the mounting lost of lives and devastation, it's really hard to fathom what is going to happen in the next coming months. World economies are going to falter, now we have seen the price of oil starting to go up because of the war.
2470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 13, 2022, 12:26:19 PM

Maybe he is just showing off one side of his basketball skills? He is not known to be a playmaker, of course he is more of a shooter, but with Klay taking the shots outside, maybe Steph just think of becoming the point guard in this game. For sure if this is a close one, the complexion will be very different as he needs to score and help Klay. Let's watch Draymond next game, they need his presence in the middle and the energy he can bring to the team.

Just like Lebron, maybe he is trying for another way to help his team because not all the time his way of playing works especially in the NBA playoffs where the games are more intense and tricky. With their current lead in the western conference, it's a good idea to try for another way to win other than his usual thing. That's why I wonder when I looked who was the star player for their win today, it was Klay rather than Steph.


They are just on the second place, behind the Suns and tied with the Grizzlies. So there's a long way to go before they can secure the top position and I think they will remain in the second place.

But the win against a top team and Steph not scoring as usual is a big scary to think.What if we have 3 players scoring 30+ points in a game? Good game by Klay and after the game he is very emotional because he has somewhat on a slump since coming back from the injuries.
2471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 13, 2022, 11:29:47 AM
Too much speculation is not good, let's wait for the result of this fight, and let's see how Crawford and Spence would react to a possible big fight. AFAIK, Crawford is already willing to fight Spence, so if Spence would say no, people will lose respect for him as a champion.

for reference, ; https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/terence-crawford-calls-for-errol-spence-fight/206552

I think the main concern relies on the purse split why Spence seems to avoid Crawford. A 50-50 split is not making sense for Spence.

The reason? Between him and Crawford, the former seems the one that will make the possible fight profitable. He is a much-considered King of PPV compared to Crawford and that was proven already.

Maybe a 60-40 should be fine but I don't know if Crawford will like that idea.

Also another concern is the pot might not be very big enough for Spencer to accept Terence Crawford's challenge. As I mentioned before, Errol Spence Jr. is using a similar tactic as Floyd Mayweather where he will so no until the money is right for him to say yes. My only hope is they will not be old before they say yes similar to Amir Khan versus Kell Brook hehe.

I don't think there will be no money in this fight, there will be enough for both, biggest paycheck ever for anyone of them. The hype is still there specially if Spence bet Ugas in his fight. Crawford has been calling him for quite sometime now, it's up to Spence to response back to make this fight happen. We don't want to see him on the downturn of their career before facing each other. It should be in their primes, in the next 2 years.

Money won't be a problem for this two boxers, I bet the paycheck is still that big enough, if not the biggest paycheck and it can always grow as time passed by specifically if indeed Spence will defeat Ugas because as you said that the hype is still there.
It's also possible that Spence won't speak about the fight for now to increase the deal, and he'll use this as an advantage because Crawford is still calling and looking forward to have a fight with him. Nonetheless, I know that they will fight sooner.

I think the point is that who is going to get the most of the purse split? Yes, money is in the table, but you have to think that this athlete has some ego, they wanted to be the top dog of the fight and maybe Spence wanted to have like 60-40 on his favor against Crawford but Crawford doesn't want to give it to him. Doesn't matter if he don't want to speak to it in public, on the contrary, if he doesn't comment on it, boxing fans might think he is avoiding Crawford at all cost.

Nadal 16/16, just shows that he still got it, he said that there is no pressure from him, so this numbers can go up in this tournament.

Exactly, too much speculations but the real score will be unfold when the battle is going on inside the ring. Let's see how Spence will going to handle the fight against Ugas and hopefully a Crawford vs. Spence battle will be given a chance to happen in the near future. But as of now, let's focus on what is the scheduled fight and let's witness who's from the two great fighter will be the winner. Well, it's undeniable that Spence really win the heart of many boxer fans.

Spence seems to have not shown his interest when he was challenged by Crawford. I guess when Crawford challenges him, Crawford is still working with the Top Rank, but now that he promotes himself, maybe they can adjust the purse sharing just to make this awaited fight happen.

Yes, the fight can easily be made right now since Crawford manages himself. Hmm, I just thinking, maybe this is a bait for Crawford though, what if Spence will fight him but he needs to join Al Haymon and PBC?

But you are right, let's wait first for the outcome of this fight.

Anyhow, this fight is going to happen and it all depends on the outcome, if Spence win then maybe he will call out Crawford or maybe he will ask by a reporter about the potential fight and see what his response will be.
2474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 12, 2022, 03:26:09 PM
Heat - Cavaliers was one of the decent games of the night. And just as I was expecting, Heat won by a 117-105 result. Heat were already highly favourite side to reach the victory in this game. Adebayo made a great double-double too. He had 30 points and 17 rebounds which were really impressive statistics. Heat are still keeping their lead in the Eastern Conference and they are going to be one of the teams that are going to be followed closely in the playoff rounds. And I wonder how far they will manage to go.

With the way Bulls are playing, I guess the only team that maybe can give them a good fight is the Sixers or Bucks. But they have a good 3-5 games lead, unless they falter near the end of the regular season, they could have sealed as the top seed in the East again. Although they don't have like a franchise players like other team, still the team is very cohesive with the addition of Tucker and Lowry and then Herro becoming one of the best shooter we have right now and could be the six man of the year.
2475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9 on: March 12, 2022, 02:55:19 PM
^ He wouldn't declare his availability of he is not ok. But it has a caveat, they need to see it so they got an opponent that they think Ryan can beat easily by a knock out or thru dominant fashion to really bring back his confidence in boxing. So he really needs to win in this fight, otherwise  and upset lost will have a devastating effect on his mind again and who knows, maybe he will quit for good.

If Ryan losses to an unknown like Tageo, it will really be a big blow for him. But it seems that he is back, he even changes some on his side, specially getting a new trainer to help him out. Maybe that's one problem that he has experience, not saying that Reynoso is not a perfect coach for him, they have 5 wins as a team. But it could contribute to Ryan's break down because Reynoso can a lot of good fighters in his stable like Alvarez and Valdez. So let's be positive that Ryan is really back so that this division is going to be very attractive with Haney and Davis and Loma and now champion Kambosos jr.
2476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 12, 2022, 12:48:59 PM
I'm not worried about the chances of Casimero but I'm worried if his opponent could really go toe to toe against him although his history tells that he is an aggressive fighter. IIRC, Butler was once a champion, so he is not a boring fighter, and watching his fight highlights, I saw that he wants war inside the ring.

Unlike Rigo, Butler is different. He is a close fighter.

The only time he will run or mostly stay away from Casimero is if he feels he's already at disadvantage or he realized that he can't handle Quadro Alas at close combat. On the early rounds, we should see Butler going toe to toe as part of testing his strategy. While the fight progress and stamina is decreasing, he will realized if going in close fight is still an effective way.

All of that, we will see on the boxing day. Speculation is what we can only provide now.

Butler will be fighting in his home town, so for sure he wants to impressed everyone so he wouldn't run like Rigo. And even if he is at the disadvantage, he will try to go and fight Casimero and most likely he might get knock out because we all know the Casimero has a knock out punch. But at least there is no shame in him at least he gave his best in front of his fans. For Casimero, he doesn't want this fight to go to the judges scorecard.

It's the masses that should be afraid, not the billionaires. Most if not all billionaires have all the connections they need to survive and live their lives normally. The masses, however, are pretty much screwed if they got their financial freedoms revoked.

Exactly, they might have anticipated that one day this is going to happen so they are not afraid but they are going to survived. Who knows, they could have stash some personal money ready in case something happen. Cash is still the king and they could have use a lot of their cash to survive and live during this extremes time. It's the ordinary people that will have the problem to survived because in normal they might be having hard time what more if there is wwIII?
2478  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price. on: March 11, 2022, 11:57:54 AM
I voted "I don't think so", reason being, we are already in a bear market, so even if there is is no war, the price will have to go down deep and make a correction. So there is no all time high, but expect the price to plummet -50% from the last high we got from November. I don't want to be sounding like doom and gloom but that's how the market works, and the price won't go on parabolic rise. It will be bull run and then we have the bear market.
2479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 11, 2022, 11:16:20 AM
I don't see any odds yet, maybe when the fight gets closer, for sure my favorite sports bookies are going to list it. But I have a feeling that Casimero will be the favorite, for obvious reason.

Back when the fight is not yet cancelled, the odds for this fight is:

Paul Butler +800
John Riel Casimero -1500

Casimero is a clear heavy favorite and I think even with that health problem issue, that gap of odds won't be changed.

You can take that as a reference on the possible future odds on this fight.

Thanks, as what as I expected, Casimero will still be the heavy favorite no matter if there is a health concern about him or the sexual cases he had in the Philippines. Bookmakers are looking past on the strength of their records and clearly Casimero as champion is highly regarded as the big favorite to regain his belt against Butler. But even if he is the heavy favorite, their is a slim chance for an upset and hopefully Butler is not the one that will derail his plans to fight Inoue in the future.
2480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 11, 2022, 09:41:21 AM
The Nets routing the Sixers should be a good reason to never speak as if the result is already determined even before the game started just because they are "the best" or on a "good run". At least check the roster and see who will be playing. It's no surprise that KD and Irving could pull off a win since these two are scoring machines. They didn't put up big numbers but it was enough for a convincing win. Great job by Seth Curry too.

Instead of just one player scoring 50 points, a few players are scoring over 20 points, it's healthier that way. The biggest problem with the Nets was that there was more than one lead player on the team. But their game against the Sixers was pretty good, when Irving and KD can play together, we can watch great things. Seth was also very good in the last game Smiley

True, it's healthy that way, although its good to see players scoring 50++ and completely dominates the game like Durant or Irving.

Nevertheless, I like how Seth and Andre are going after the Sixers decided to trade them vs Harden. They have been tearing and helping the Nets to win and this is a big win against the hot and streaking Sixers. So I think they are back in the game with KD and Irving and just wait till Ben Simmons plays.
