2501  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbie Come to Crypto What they should do first? on: March 04, 2022, 06:14:24 PM
What a Newbie should do first after entering crypto is to know how to protect his wallet from theft, know where the private key will be stored, gain information from experts on YouTube and blogs, and conduct sufficient research on the coins of projects and various use cases before investing or before He works in any bounty because there are a lot of scam projects, also any newbie should not invest large sums and determine the appropriate time for sell and buy.

I think it's given already, the first thing you should learn when you go crypto is know how to protect your assets.

For me, just educate yourself about it, really that simple, but it takes time to absorb all the information. When I was beginning my journey, I play around with wallets and really try to grasp everything like private keys and mnemonic phrase etc. Of course, money wise, do our own investigation and not just be carried by hype on a certain projects.
2502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 04, 2022, 05:28:30 PM
People doubt about him because they see Erol Spence as more stronger fighter but we know how the under dog Ugas defeat Pacquaio and he's win is so impressive knowing that many people expect him to be defeated by the champ. But since he already prove that he has a guts to defeat the Pacquaio then most provably we can see a exciting match up for their fight with Spence Jr.

It's another fight that very much awaited and very much worth it to bet on and watch for, I know Ugas managed to defeat Manny Pacquiao during their last fight scene around last year but that doesn't mean Ugas is already a fighter that could bet Errol Spencer that easily. Well, I guess there are some factors on Manny Pacquiao that once his strength become his weakness due to his age which also happens to be the advantage of Ugas against Pacquiao. Well, let's how their fight Errol Spencer vs. Yordenis Ugas went on once happen.

I think Ugas defeating Manny put his name on top of the welterweight division. But this is a different fight for him because Spence is one of the best if not the best of this weight class. And as we can see base on the odds, Ugas will be the underdog. Yes, definitely a must watch for boxing fans, we are just waiting for more betting options but as per initial release of the odds, Spence is the favorite by a mile.
2503  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Weakens at US$ 42,145.35 The Impact of Russia's Conflict with Ukraine on: March 04, 2022, 01:24:38 PM
Bitcoin seems to be recovering already, it will soon hit $40k and we can conclude that the war between Russia and Ukraine does not have a serious effect on the crypto market. Based on what I observed in the past when there are global crisis, crypto is always the alternative for investors, so I think if this war gets worst, people would just decide to put their money into crypto for security as it's more stable than a struggling economy of a specific country.
It still surprises me to see how fast can bitcoin recover from all of these huge negative news that we see in the market, I still remember that after the covid19 finally became a pandemic there was a strong drop in the market and people were panicking, but then after some time the price recovered and we even saw a bull market, this shows how strong is the project created by satoshi, and how at this point it is pretty much unstoppable no matter how bad the news that we receive may seem at first.

It's a different market know, even if we have negative news, there are still investors who are wise enough and see bitcoin as a good instrument to put their money. Of course the biggest scare is the covid19 related news, but it seems it's over now, the world is getting back to normal although a threat of a war is here. Nevertheless, the market remains strong as the price didn't go on a downward spiral because of the war.

Yes, every Russian athletes have been affected by the war between the two countries.

So there is a chance that this fight won't happen unless the war is over. So we will see how everything will turn out, of course we wanted to see this fight, it's surely a very interesting one specially that Canelo will fight an unbeaten Russian fighter. But it is what it is, if the governing body is not going to sanction this, then  the fight won't simply happen.
US said they are not against the Russian people but only against Putin, so I don't see any reason to blame other people and to treat them like they are the one who started the war, so let's hope this fight will push through because Canelo is already all set for this trilogy and the contract is too huge, he can't afford to lose on this one.

But as you can see there are a lot of sporting events that have been affected by the war itself:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5388064.0

It's not my opinion, it's the whole world reacting to Putin and his war.

Bivol is a good boxer, but I still see Canelo has the advantage here and might take the bell, this is just 2 months away, let's see if they are going to treat Bivol as a boxer and not as Russian who many people already throw hate to ordinary Russians.

True, Bivol is a good boxer, but he doesn't have head movement and for sure Canelo knows this and will take advantage in the middle round and become aggressive and maybe go for a KO win.
2505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Gonzalez vs Martinez on: March 04, 2022, 10:51:28 AM
For those who are interested to hear and see the two fighters in their final press conference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umG3hY9tBLE

Gonzalez is very happy and excited that the fight will push through and have a good replacement in Martinez because he is unpredictable. While Martinez will have a chance to break into this division with a fight against the legendary fighter.

No trash talking needed here, Gonzalez in his old self here, it seems that he still has the same enthusiasm even though it is not Estrada that he is going to face, but still another durable and tough Mexican as replacement, what can you ask?

Gonzalez though is still the favorite and I think he can win again but Martinez will also bring his A game in this fight. So another war, and hopefully if Gonzalez win, he will just have to wait for Estrada to set up the trilogy.
2506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: FURY vs WHYTE - CONFIRMED on: March 04, 2022, 10:04:16 AM
~
Since Whyte is the challenger, it is quite expected that he will do his best to shape up and put a good show trying to win this match. Now, he has a good reason to put up his best effort to try and defeat Fury because these two boxers are talking badly even before the match wasn't final. In almost every aspect, Fury have the advantage like the reach, height, experience and ring IQ particularly the KO rate.
I had seen some of the recent pictures where Dillian Whyte looked really out of shape, i remember him when he was fighting Anthony Joshua and he was in a much better physical shape and i doubt he will spend time doing that. Tyson Fury will have a reach advantage literally against every other fighter because he is the tallest fighter out there and his fight IQ is off the charts.

I think that's Whyte walking weight that you see, maybe during fight night we will be in a good shape just like the rest of the boxers.

Nevertheless, we all know that Fury is the superior fighter year and not to disrespect Whyte, but shape alone will not win fights. Even if he comes in a good and better shape, Fury will still smash and probably win by knock out.

2508  Economy / Speculation / Re: New year new speculation on: March 03, 2022, 12:13:33 PM
Yes, that's right, that's how it should be before investing, many people fail due to hype and speculation, if this is still maintained, then we will experience bad things, it should be with the development of increasingly advanced technology, making many choices that we will get, so that make it easier not harder, that's why knowledge is needed now, rather than acting on hype and speculation.
Investing is not based on hype and speculation because it is not the final decision to invest in crypto, although sometimes hype and speculation become big profits at certain times but it is just a luck factor, analyze your knowledge for the main thing in investing without being influenced by hype and speculation.

The hype that exists sometimes often traps us in investing, many of us are affected and not infrequently are trapped in high prices when the hype lasts like what happened to shiba and dogecoin, I think experience and knowledge are important factors in trading in the market, With the ability to read analysis and understand the market situation, of course, we can avoid losses that might occur.

That is part of the game, I mean, we really don't know if this is a trap being laid by some whales or if we are really in a bull run just like what we have seen throughout 2021. We started slow this year, but at the end the prices goes to a new all time high. So we can't say that there is a trap early one, if we do then we will not going to make huge profit. So it's a game that we really need to play very hard and cautious as well.
2509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 03, 2022, 11:27:44 AM
There was a Bucks - Heat game last night and it was very exciting in the last moments especially. We watched a great rivalry between Giannis and Tyler Herro in terms of scoring the most points in the game. And the winner of this rivalry was Tyler Herro by 30 points. He has been performing really impressively for some time and it is his fourth time in a row that he scores 20+ points. He has made a really big contribution to his team lately. But Giannis had a really solid performance by 28 points and 17 rebounds too here and they won the game only by one point, 120-119. It was hell of a game!

Didn't saw the match, but yes there was a lot of hype on this game because both of them are a top team. But it' no surprises that Giannis and the Bucks win at the end, they have been in. losing streak and they need to end it.

We also have games that went into OT like the Rockets and Jazz, I thought that the Rockets will have the momentum in the OT, but Mitchell hit a 3 and then two more from Mike Conley to seal the victory for the Utah Jazz.
2510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Top Coin values should I look at ? on: March 03, 2022, 10:57:31 AM
Zero arguments that BTC surpasses them all ( Cryptocurrencies ), if one should venture/delve into alternative coin's that'll last for the next five to six years, What are the top Coin values ? what should I look at ?

There is no surefire way to know that an altcoin will last for the next five years.
Based on my experience following ethereum whose project lasted for
more than five years, at least the project continues to develop their platform.
To analyze a project that can last more than five years, we can't use charts or other techniques
because we really depend on the fundamentals of the project.
For example, how their platforms work, how big their ecosystem is, who is behind them,
how they are consistent with their work progress in developing projects. that's what I usually use to get long term coins.

There is, just look at Ethereum, they have been in the space for the last 5 years.
And then we have coins like Cardano and then Binance Coin that suddenly comes out of nowhere and now in the top 5. So it means it is a solid project because investors have spoken, and the fundamentals is also good by the way. And then we have Solana, Terra also entering the picture, I think they are a good investment too for long term.
2511  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to hit $100k? on: March 02, 2022, 06:16:36 PM
Bitcoin prices are not likely to rise much now. I think Bitcoin will be dumped again. Because for several days I have been seeing that if the price of bitcoin is pumped at 2% then after one day it is dumped at 8%. This has been going on for some days. Pumping has started again from 2 days ago. Maybe stay in this position for a few more days then either dump or pump. But it will take a few more years for this BTC to go up to 100K. Can't go before that.

Most likely we will have a correction, but first we will see what will be the highest high in this current mini bull run. We just started this month with a green candle so hopefully we can close it with the same pattern. $100k might be too much because it is too early, but who knows what will be the trend starting next quarter. Maybe the best we can see is around $50k or the price will go full blown on another all time high run this December.
2512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: March 02, 2022, 05:44:55 PM
From what I've seen on some of the fights of Canelo, I can say that he's a focused and a very determined fighter. His footwork and the way he moves around the ring is very efficient, which makes his enemy spend more stamina and chase around for him. His enemy, I haven't heard much about, though for the size difference, Bivol has an advantage, but perhaps it can be used against him as well. All in all if I were to bet, it will still be for Alvarez. The dude is just methodical on his last bouts and it's hard to beat that.

I can also see Alvarez is in advantage here base on experience, though he have not experienced fights in this weight level, but he's far more experienced in boxing than his opponent.
Like what you said Canelo has a great footwork, head movements , and very efficient with his punches.
Let's see If his opponent can use his size advantage on this fight. I've heard of him before but never watched his fight, I guess he Bivol also have a strong powerful punches. Something that Canelo will be aware of.

He did fight at this weight class before, betting Kovalev and win the belt (WBO).

So he is familiar with how to make the weight, no problem for him. As for the size advantage, I don't think that Bivol has one, Canelo is known to punished boxers who is taller than him so that negate everyone who thins that their height will be be a problem for him. Bivol is a strong puncher if you look at his record, but Canelo can take anyone at 168 to 175 lbs because his chin is solid.
2513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 02, 2022, 05:14:18 PM
It would be stupid if Cleveland will still sign Lebron, now that they are doing betting, for sure they won't let Lebron ruin their chemistry.

Lebron was the franchise player of Cleveland, he left and came back, and then he left again.. so I don't think he still deserves a 3rd chance.
I don't know but I have a feeling that Lebron will stay with the Lakers and will retire in Laker uniform.

Disagree. Cleveland will surely welcome him with open arms. Remember what Dallas Mavericks did for Dirk Nowitzki? Although the difference is Dirk was the Mavs franchise player so he deserves it. Lebron is from Ohio so, Cleveland Cavaliers will find a way to sign him and make him retire in his home team even if they will spend some money. Besides, it might be good for business like ticket sales, jerseys and caps.
My prediction is, he will come back there but it will be the last year of his career.

Yeah, I think it will be better if Lebron goes back to Cleveland the second time around. And what will be the chances of him giving the city another championship run? no Kyrie but there will still be Kevin Love?

Anyhow, let's see how it goes for Lebron's career, he could stay with the Lakers and let the management do their job by bringing fresh talent to help him out win another ring before finally retiring.
2514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 28, 2022, 02:13:36 PM

The rumors towards their fight with Inoue what makes me follow his channel since I want to get update directly and to see how he can make this huge match became reality and if he cannot successfully arrange a match on Inoue's camp well maybe we can see a less hype for his fight since this is actually what people want to see these days.

I don't trust the information that coming from his mouth, he said before that last 2021 he will fight Inoue but it did not happen, so maybe he is just trying to make some hype, making an announcement even if it's not yet official. Casimero is desperate to have a big fight, hopefully, Inoue accept the challenge in a unification match.

Definitely, nothing is final specially if it's coming from the mouth of the fighter. I remember Ryan Garcia, in his official social media accounts, he give us a hint that he will be fighting Manny Pacquiao next, but it didn't materialized. So same here, we will only know if the fight with Inoue will happen if we see an official announcement from either camps promotional outfit. So we may have to wait a bit further. But definitely, this fight is doable.
2515  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price support above 30000? on: February 28, 2022, 01:29:09 PM
I don't think we can seriously talk about supports this year, given the way the price has been behaving lately, in addition to the political situation. For me the only strong support would be $20K because so far in Bitcoin in one cycle it has not gone below the ATH of the previous cycle. But we can't be sure of anything, neither how much it will go down nor if we will surpass $70K this cycle.

Yeah, if we are going to loo k at what is going around in the environment, (covid, war, etc, that really impacted the price, we can't say for certain what is the support price).

Long term though, it might be $20k to be the last support level, if this is broken, then obviously it will be a free fall. But for now, price seems to be fluctuating a lot and hopefully we won't have that scenario of $20k being tested.
2516  Economy / Economics / Re: This shows Putin got the costs of aggression wrong on: February 28, 2022, 12:56:35 PM
The Russian oligarchs has no choice if I'm not mistaken. So they should follow Putin no matter what because they know the consequences of going against him specially right now that he is flexing his muscle. I know it's going to be a hard decision for them, but you have to think, where do this oligarchs get their money from? what is their sources? Yeah they have been plundering Russia more many years now with Putin's backing them up. So they have to support him right now in his war.
2517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 28, 2022, 12:21:28 PM

Yeah, this new duo looks too good. As a result, the 76ers won the Knicks by 16 points tonight. Harden made a triple-double, and Embiid scored 37 points. I know it's too early to make any predictions, given that Harden and Embiid only played 2 games together. However, I'm already looking forward to seeing how well this duo can perform in the playoffs.

So far, they won their first two games together, and with their building chemistry throughout the season, they are becoming a great wall for the rest of the team in the Eastern Conference. Looks like Harden can pull his skills well here because the 76ers have been out of the like of him in the last seasons which is the best partner for Embiid. whenever Embiid is trapped can shoot inside, he just simply pass the ball to Harden and let him shoot the high percentage shots.


Base on the 2 games and 2 wins for the Sixers with Harden playing, I think they absolutely won the trade. Though we have seen Simons playing for the Nets, but we all know what Simons can do and what's his limitations.
The Sixers are now a serious threat from the East. The Bucks may not repeat this year nor enter the Finals either. Bulls, Sixers, and a healthy Nets team can beat the defending champs.

If they remain healthy, for sure the Sixers will be a very good team and possible to go as far as the Finals now. The images of Embiid is still fresh from our memory when Kawhi hits that 3 in the corner. So maybe this is the year that they are going to the Finals and erase that memory. They will only have the Bulls to contend. The Bucks this year are very inconsistent so it might be very difficult for them to reach the finals.
2518  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bear vs Bull : The Beauty Of Cryptocurrency on: February 27, 2022, 04:04:04 PM
Bear and bull the part of trading in cryptocurrency. Bear and bull market always be happened. 3-4 Year's ago cryptocurrency price was very low like Bitcoin, ETH but now cryptocurrency price huge increase. Market condition depends on investors and holders.

Yeah, and it's a very fast market, although we are talking here like 2-3 years of bear and bull run, it's very quick. I'm just talking about it with a colleague, reminiscing of a bear market and then the pandemic strike, halving and the bull run after that up to November of 2021. It's the saying, how time flies, so you better prepare yourself in both scenarios, have your trading strategy so that you will profit either short or long term.
2519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: February 27, 2022, 02:33:24 PM
Looks like I gonna choose Canelo to win this fight since this is only like his past fights where you thought he might get some serious challenge but in reality, he will just gonna beat his opponent with no problem. That would be another exciting match since his opponent here is known to be a strong fighter and has no losses, looks like this is a great challenge for him as well because he is putting his clean record on the table fighting one of the current great boxers in this era.

We all going to choose Canelo, it's not that Bivol is a weak fighter it's just Canelo is a very superior fighter and he is on top of the pound for pound boxer now and he is on a trail to establishing his legacy, I don't think Bivol has what it takes to stop him, only Golovkin stand a chance to stop him and they have a chance to meet again after they beat their respective opponents.

Yes, we haven't seen any fighters that can really beat the version of Canelo right now, not even Bivol at this own division. Not the first time that Canelo will move up to light heavyweight so there is no problem for him moving up North again. It's a question on how Bivol will perform against his version of Canelo. He has a chance, but we will see how Canelo will react if he gets hit, we all know that Canelo's chin is very good, not even in his 2 fights against GGG that it has broken.
2520  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What happened to the crypto market now? on: February 27, 2022, 01:55:51 PM
what do you mean the end of crypto? no, this is not the end of crypto and recent price drops are common in the crypto market as the crypto market will not pump continuously.

Obviously, crypto is here to stay, regardless if it is bitcoin or the rest of the top altcoins or recent hype projects in the crypto space.

the crypto market is very sensitive to negative news that occurs and the troubles that occur in ukraine are the reason why the crypto market has recently experienced a significant price drop. but you don't need to worry because after conditions in ukraine have improved the crypto market will pump again very quickly because the previous price decline could trigger large-scale purchases by investors.

Buy the rumor sell the news, although we have seen a massive drop to $35k because of the recent news of a war in Europe, the price seems to go back and rebound to $39k again. There are reports that Ukraine local exchange bitcoin deposit has surge to 200% because of the war.
