I think Nonito has done that, so it's time for Casimero to step up and hopefully he will fare good against Inoue here, even if the chance are very slim.

Agree with that, Nonito has done that and soon he will also have to retire like Manny as he is not getting any younger. Casimero is on his prime, may not the best boxer in his division now but he is up for the biggest challenge by beating Inoue who is an undefeated fighter of Japan.

He is already 38 years old, still has power with him as he won in his last fight, but age will eventually catch him up, not yet in his 40s but 38 years old is already old in boxing. I think he only has few fights left in him, and if he gets beaten in his next fight, then probably he will think of retiring so he was really looking for a big fight and the big fight that he wants is against Inou.

We can all call now that Ben is over rated player? Just passing skills and then no shooting?
He is not IMO, why would we only criticize him now when he was already playing for many seasons, and in his first season, we were impressed by his performance and thought he would be the next big start in the NBA.
With his stats, a lot of teams will be interested to get him, but if the 76ers will not reduce its value in a trade, no trade will happen as no player will give up their best player for Ben Simmons who is not a complete player yet. The pressure is on the 76ers because if they will just sit him, Simmons will become a dead investment on their part, not a wise way to manage the business whom they invested millions of dollars.

I don't just to wonder why people are just saying on the negative side when seeing sudden drops, most they are panic and thinking for the worse scenario which I don't that really it happens.
I don't care how much it drops in the past few days, I'm not selling any. If you have just trusted Bitcoin during the Bullish season that mist also it happen during the bear season. But somehow, it is likely different and most people got into panic selling after hearing fakes news.

every pro also in the forum will tell you that the demo is very different from the real market so if you wanna learn to trade, just do it at risk of money. just put a little risk so you will have some pressure that you are going to lose some amount, this way you will find a way not to lose.


And we can't learn more if we are afraid to lose a few dollars. We need to invest in this if we wanted to enhance our knowledge and gains some experience as this was a vital tool in enhancing our trading skills. $100 as the starting capital may not be big enough to lose and we can really familiar the market with that amount because if we are too careful and wise in making a decision, we can't lose that $100 instantly.
Only we need to continue doing research and watch online tutorials rather than relying on worthless signals.

This is really how crypto works and never have found the perfect time when to buy and when to sell, and having a good profit is likely depending on us. If we are too emotional in all dumps and pumps, it is most likely we miss the better opportunity and this is how patients applied. If we are too naive to understand the situation, I can just imagine a short stay in the market, and later on, we just quit.
2506  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does bitcoin fall need a reason? on: September 08, 2021, 11:40:13 AM
Probably look at the big picture, bitcoin fell and it's a huge fall but it's not that bad knowing it's normal in the crypto space.

Actually, I don't see any bad news that causes the dump, but I believe the main reason for the dump is the whales, they are playing the market again with their power to manipulate, and I tell it's not new to us.

Just relax man, instead, try to buy as this is an opportunity.
2507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: September 08, 2021, 11:18:54 AM
  If we destine to lose let's accept but if we  win it's a good luck ,an we all know in gambling wether you win or you will lose and that would be defend in the fate of your the game. Having no control or lack of control it can leads you nothing cause a person who greed to win and if not responsible to play in the gambling and all of the labored will be gone.
Well, most of the time the destiny was to lose and it's an acceptable matter in the first place. That's the thing most gamblers lack and the fact is even people who aren't new will still fall on that behavior - lack of control.


I think few gamblers only, because if we believe most gambler has that kind of problem, then probably gambling should not exist as it's not good for the majority of people. The fact that gambling sites are still profitable is because addiction is just a small problem and it's happening to some people only, of course, only those who are not responsible.
2508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Oscar Valdez vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 10th on: September 08, 2021, 08:46:19 AM

So is there an unfair judgment here?
That's what happened. They allow the fight, since they accept the alibi from Valdez camp.
Alibi should be valid that's why the fight continues. It's not us who will judge and though we think it's quite biased but they know their job and they are just implementing it based on their knowledge of what is right. Let's not talk about it anymore, instead, let's see how this fight will go and is the favorite really here has the big edge to win, or he is just overvalued?
Before I go to the issue, where do you guys put your bet at for this match? It's not available in Stake.com. The only boxing bout available is the Holyfield vs Belfort fight.
About the drug issue, he was tested twice and the first was positive then negative on August 30. But social media analysts and boxing community are trying to pin them down with the basic logic of he is positive, so he should be disqualified. "He cheated, don't give him a chance", something like that.
One thing is for sure, he is tested negative already so that's it. As long as he fights fair and square then the game is on. There is also a part that the boxing business is trying to get back what they loss from the pandemic and they will do everything to prevent postponing the fight.


It's not available also on the betting sites I'm using, if it's not in stake.com, then probably it's not also available yet in other crypto sites. I see the odds in https://www.betfair.com/sport/boxing/boxing-matches/oscar-valdez-v-robson-conceicao/30878073.. maybe anyone here is using it can put their bet now. For crypto betting sites, maybe they'll make the odds available 24 hours before the fight, just like the old unpopular fights.
2509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Oscar Valdez vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 10th on: September 07, 2021, 09:21:43 PM
This is what Oscar Valdez says:

Quote
"I have never used banned substances to improve my performance. I never have and never will. I am respectful of anti-doping tests since my time as an amateur and now as a professional," Valdez said.

"And since I've been a professional I have undergone more than 30 anti-doping tests, which is something we always ask for and we make sure that [drug testing] is in the contract, to do the VADA tests to keep the sport clean and to make sure that no one has any advantage."

https://www.boxingscene.com/oscar-valdez-i-never-banned-substances-improve-my-performance--160320

Yeah, we take his word, but seriously, how can someone who says who didn't take any ban substance was caught here? His A and B sample turns out to be positive, if it is only A sample, probably he get it from somewhere else, but both his samples are positive.

So I agree with some posters that he might have used this one to mask some other substance, or his condition coach forgot about the recycling calendar.

We are not experts in this area, let's leave it to the expert I guess. The fact that the fight still continues despite the findings, that would only say that he did not violate any rules and therefore there's no reason to speculate that he should be ban or sanction for being positive of such drugs substances.

What do you mean by 'experts" though? Urine and blood samples don't lie, he was tested twice and come up to be positive.

I'm not an expert in this area, but Valdez is not denying the fact that he has failed the drug test. But his defense is that he didn't used any drugs. So we will just have to used our common sense here as who is telling the truth or not. Science or Valdez himself, make your choice.

Anyhow, as @bisdak40 said, just a couple more days and we will see this fight. Still a must watch fight.

So is there an unfair judgment here?

He was tested positive for ban substances and does the fight still continues?
What does it implicate to the boxing organization? Are they now more on the money than the reputation of the sport?

Lots of questions in our mind now but it will never change the decision since the fight still continues, and probably they know how it would impact so it's not a big deal I guess.
2510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 07, 2021, 08:54:04 PM
The game of basketball, especially the NBA has a huge changes. Flopping was a part of the game even before, but because of the physicality soft fouls was usually uncalled. So, players like LeBron, Harden, and others who didn't get enough calls will exaggerate the contact, thus flopping will be the result. The calls was changed too, they added too many soft calls that even taunting an opponent after a highlight moves will be a technical foul today.
Also, the defense was also changed maybe because of the range the players can do to score today.

I feel like soft calls should be called. Because if soft calls are uncalled, physical players as you mentioned like (Lebron or Harden) will somewhat abuse that. That does not help in a tactical point of view in my opinion. Yes, physicality in a sport is important, but I don't want it to get prioritized over the tactical side of the game.

The soft calls like hand checking fouls are terrible for game flow.  It stops the momentum of the game and general watchability.  Allowing for some physical play also gets rivals going.  Watching in the 80s and 90s was so much better than now.

I really missed those times, players are not relying so much on their 3 point shooting, they are more into physical plays like driving inside to score and get fouled. I guess the NBA organization has realized that if they will not make it soft, their players will easily be injured and their investment will be at risk, so I don't think we will ever see the 80's-90's style in NBA again.
2511  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bull market is back on: September 07, 2021, 03:44:35 PM
And base on the previous performance of Bitcoin during BER season, it is mostly in the pumps and this will likely have to see this year again. That is why I remain on the positive side. Though market corrections can't be stopped, perhaps it is a part of crypto, recoveries are still to see right away. I leave the confidence that we still keep in the range of $50k-$60k until the end of this year. But I'm not sure if it retains early next year as many people might spend and sell their Bitcoins during Christmas day.
2512  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can I recommend a friend to buy Bitcoin now? on: September 06, 2021, 11:44:59 PM
You can recommend your friend any time to buy Bitcoin actually unless he is a panic seller.  Grin  If your friend likes long term investments more than short term ones, Bitcoin is the number one choice I believe. Your friend can still buy at this level also considering he already bought BTC after some time you posted this. We are still not in a bull market but the price continues to increase. I can't even imagine what would happen when a bull run starts.
It is important also to know the capabilities of the person you wanted to tell and to clearly understand that really it happens once you have been doing this. Because so many cases that blaming has been happening when they suffer losses due to their own fault. That is why we need for them to understand the situation and the risk in investing crypto so they can solely decide it with their well, not ours so this helps to avoid blaming each other.
2513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your investing Strategy on: September 06, 2021, 11:11:58 PM
Doesn't need long complicated answers - just a simple question:

Do you invest
1. mainly on price/the market trends
2. mainly on the underlying usefulness of the token/NFT
3. pretty even split of the two.

In my case, my way of investing is to split them into those two categories you've mentioned. Actually they're connected that is why I use them both as a basis if it is good or bad to invest to a particular coin/token. As of now, I also had chosen to invest on those NFT projects, especially those NFT games that are currently booming like Axie Infinity and Plants vs Undead.

Currently looking for more potential NFT games, you might want to mention some guys, thanks Wink
I suggest you not focus on NFT projects. I know it was your choice but it was risky to put an egg in a single basket but rather to spread your investment into more potential coins like Bitcoin, ETH, and BNB for the long term. NFT's projects are in their prime, many had made a lot of money but worried about how its sustainability. And besides, only NFT games had made the great pump while many of them just are dead now. You should think it again.
2514  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or altcoins on: September 03, 2021, 08:46:23 PM
Don't invest in crypto if you don't put money on bitcoin, bitcoin should own the largest portfolio in your account as the market is heavily relying on bitcoin. Try to observe the market or check the history, there's no time that altcoins had a good pump while bitcoin is dumping, it does not happen as bitcoin owns the biggest dominance in the market, hence, you can't neglect to invest in it if you want to be profitable and a little safer with your investment.
2515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL vs Staking, What is the best strategy? on: September 03, 2021, 04:52:07 PM
I choose hold, for me personally hold is one way to multiply money. i hold bitcoin and i keep it on binance if i sell bitcoin i will get a lot of profit from hold but i am sure in future bitcoin price will go up again so i don't sell it now i will hold bitcoin till the price is really expensive.
I know Binance is one of the most trusted crypto exchanges but it was not advisable to put your Bitcoin or any crypto assets there as it wasn't safe totally unlike you keep it on your controlled wallet.

I'm not sure if you are pointing to holding as staking where you could think about making money while holding and waiting for the price to spike? Most of us doing staking and it was of a great idea and even it was just of a few percentages given to us but at least our money is growing little by little.
2516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Just in case on: September 03, 2021, 04:09:59 PM
Either it was a smart decision or not but that was their choice and I think they have thought it many times before doing this. Thus, if you are not comfortable investing in crypto that was because you are doubtful of the capability of this but these people who spend more money in crypto have thought differently from you and they believe that this is the smart idea.
Well, have you thought also the investing offline or outside crypto gives you the best compared to crypto? That is the question and that people have their choice where they become guilty of trusting themselves.
2517  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Give me some investment advice on: September 03, 2021, 03:41:20 PM
I will use about 80%(About $2000 per day.) of my funds every day to invest in cryptocurrencies.

Can you give your suggestions? For example, 20% btc futures, 20% altcoin, 60% btc spot.

And how are your funds allocated?
I believe that you have some idea how to spread your funds but thinking about trading and you were able to spend such an amount daily, You are trying to risk more as I per see. $2000 per day is a big amount, I can't imagine doing this in trading but if we just put this investing like 60% BTC and 40% altcoins, I think this was safer or the best deal to maximize your funds rather than putting this in trading alone.
I know that was your choice but you need to think about it and remember how cruel is the market is especially in treading, absolute losses might happen to you at any moment.
2518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Spain bans betting adds - no celebrities, no sport sponsorship, no daytime adds on: September 03, 2021, 12:05:13 PM
I guess this happens in other countries too, IMO, sports should have a good reputation and it's not good to integrate clean sports to advertising of betting platform as there could potentially be a problem in terms of the outcome as game-fixing is happening in any sports.
2519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 03, 2021, 10:56:38 AM

It's a big gamble for them to really get the big 3, and it's first season together, the gamble hasn't paid off since only Durant was able to lead the team, Irving and Harden got injured.

So they re-adjust added more players in the rotation that can contribute and be a role players, giving them like 10 minutes of rest to avoid injuries and be healthy come playoff time. Maybe we can see restricted minutes on the big 3 as well if possible.

Good strategy in their part adding players who can add up good experienced in case injuries hurt them again,

Those players can play alongside with their stars and still can contribute and continue their rally. They are serious about bringing this team
back to conference finals and they are now bringing help.

Millsap is no longer young but the caliber as a two-way player still there while
if they can bring back Aldridge, that's again a good pick for them.

Nets will be full of veterans just like the LA Lakers do, and since they have the highest chance of winning next season, then they should continue to improve their lineup so they will not be called an overrated team. If Aldrige will come back, hopefully he will not become a liability of the team, I mean he should not be treated like he came from a serious health problem, and the expectation should still be high.
2520  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Surprising price movement of BabelFish Coin on: September 02, 2021, 11:15:06 PM
I think babelfish is going very well as a new project that has been able to provide a very perfect breakthrough, so this coin is pumping very high, Hopefully SOV will soon build an ecosystem that covers all fields so that it can be listed on several major exchanges in the future, this way fish has a chance can compete with the top 20 CMC altcoins.
The only way it recognized this project to the investors is the use-case of the project. I'm not certain that a project has a high market value it is already enough to tell that it could really compete with others, that is probably a hypes only. But what I mean is to see how the project going to show in a few days, months and being consistent with it.
With this great market improvement of Babelfish, I believe this project could somewhat prove something to us. But of course, we don't need to rush.
