Sometimes these people don't do proper research before venturing to invest in Crypto, sometimes they see just see some site that tells you invest in Crypto and make 100% profit, they just jump in without asking the right questions and talking to the right people. It is greed to think that way at this time. Before investing in any business you mast carry out you study to know if your money will be safe or not.
We can't change their mindset as to whether we like it or not, the truth will prevail and these greedy people will become hungry for money and get fooled easily by this scam trick.

However, a person who will consider their mistake as a tool to become right and become successful will somehow change and take action to correct these things. But for those who keep arguing and still believing themselves and their decision was right, they will just fail and no way they went successful.

People who see big opportunities in crypto will certainly take advantage of the situation but those who can't, nothing we have to expect from them as they only ignore and throw negative views about Bitcoin.

Let these people speculate on their own, of course, not all will be able to understand, and much more not all are willing to take risks. In fact, many got wrong in previous market crashes and they are in regret not filling their while the market is in huge price deduction.

Well, I could say wow but that seems nonsense unless it was proven already.
Then you said OP that this project is better than Bitcoin and ETH because of these unreliable things? I hope I was wrong as I wasn't sure about this project will even more grateful than BNB and Solana, and even those on the top 50. In this bear season, it is too hard to figure out a new project to become a new asset in the market. This basis is not enough to say that this is a hidden gem but as I've said unless it was proven.

I would say OP, it was just a speculation and marketing strategy to compare a NEW project vs the most reliable Bitcoin.
2544  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Taking Loans - Is it ideal? on: June 23, 2022, 10:17:19 PM

Before you apply for a loan make sure to consider this first.

1. How much money you can afford to take the risk?
2. Is the profit enough to repay the loan, is there any guarantee?
3. Can you still repay the loan even if the market continues to drop?
4. Is your collateral enough to cover your loans?
5. Are you confident about your investment decision?

That all being said.
Even though the reason for this loan is good and for the investment plan, we also have to consider our capacity to repay the money. Having some backup like in a form of collateral or other sources of income is very important as in the case that our investment will fail (hope not), there is something we could get. Taking a loan shouldn't be rushed, yet it needs to be planned well.

Well, I see the big risk on the lender side, not those who took the loan. That's up to the lender to asses the capacity of the person, otherwise, he is the one who suffered losses in the end.
2545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: June 23, 2022, 10:48:39 AM
Rey Vargas says that he knows Magsayo's power, so he is looking to counter him in their fight.

Quote
“This is going to be exciting combat from start to finish. We know that he has great power, but we’ll be ready to counter that, and anything else he brings to the ring. This is going to be a magnificent fight and I can’t wait to step in there and compete.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/rey-vargas-magsayo-great-power-well-ready-counter--167157

Can he effectively counter a puncher? what if he was suddenly hits by that left hook that knock out a lot og great boxers?

I'm pump for this fight already, watching Magsayo's highlights and with that raw power, I'm thinking that he will have a good chance to score a knock out.

Vargas has been knock out throughout his career, and you know what punch it is? Left hook. And that is Rey's favourite weapon.

So just in case that land flush on Vargas, he will either knock out or will get up but not in steady legs and that is the time that Magsayo can finished him. Vargas is known to be a brawler, so not sure how can he suddenly become a counter puncher overnight.

And if my memory serves me right, a Filipino gave Vargas his first knock down of his career, his name is Silverter Lopez in 2014. He might have a weak spot for left hookers, but Vargas has a good recuperating power that's why he was able to get back from the canvass and beat those who score a knock down from him. So Mark should not be satisfied if ever he score a knock down because Vargas will recover. So very important to make a follow up and then finished Rey.

That was a long time ago, for sure lots have changed already on this boxer and I'm sure he will give Magsayo a tough challenge. I always believe on Magsayo, but on this fight, I have a feeling that everything is not going to be easy but as long as he continues to work and go for a KO, maybe he will get the right timing to hit Vargas and KO him.

Rumors of Bradley Beal declining his $36.4 million Wizard's contract option. Money wise he should take the money but if he wants a real shot at the championships then he can reject it and look for better teams. But maybe another decent team will offer him a good amount of money for a longer.
I guess these keys players like him are starting to realize that it's not just all about the contract but also getting in a team that has a caliber to take the ring.

Hell yeah, this is a big money and it's already a good amount for the contract that he wants to sign. But I guess that offer will remain there until he finally accepts it or find a better deal from the other teams with good teammates.

We all know that a player who wants to win a ring does not have much chance in a team like the Washington Wizards. Bradley Beal is a good basketball player, but $36 million is a lot of money. In this case, it will not be easy to make a decision.
I hope he goes to a team he can be happy with and has a better year ahead. He is now a basketball player approaching the age of 30 Smiley

He knows what he is doing, if he wants to win a championship, then he should look for another team to play. Wizards is not a championship team, ye, he will earn a decent amount but staying in a team that has no chance to win a championship maybe something Beal does not want to do.

Playing with a legit superstars, that's probably what he is looking for, so if Lakers will acquire him, they need to let Westbrook go.

Westbrook or Davis, but Westbrook will likely be traded because he is the most inconsistent in the team.

His stats have really dropped when he was with the Lakers compared to his past teams, Lakers is probably the worst team he played with.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/westbru01.html

While if you compared to Bradley Beal (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bealbr01.html), his stats has also dropped but still better than Westbrook.

I don't feel like I'm ready but if that will come, I humbly accept the truth and huge deduction of my holding. However, this never makes me cry and worried coz I don't make a stupid sell option rather than sit back and off my notification from crypto.

But, I don't even think about $10k by now - I don't make myself too negative yet. We're getting low again after in a short uptrend, kinda be moving back low possible to $18k first, then $15k.
2548  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins dead? on: June 22, 2022, 11:03:11 PM
Watching the current market and the demise of ALL crypto ... is this the end for certain coins?

How do people think the likes of ETH, ADA, XRP, TRON etc will go from here?
If you are new in crypto, I'll understand but this is what it meant to see during the bear season as the entire market went down and most of the altcoins we've been dead. But I need for you to understand the situation and just to be clear with you that those coins you have mentioned are not dying. Those are one of the potential coins in the market but have no excuse for the dumps, however, they will also recover when the market goes up.
2549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: June 22, 2022, 12:20:42 PM
I don't really have doubts that Bivol could beat up Canelo basing on stats and paper

Oh really? Did make a bet ? Because Bivol was a huge underdogs with +350 odd. A lot of people did not believe in Bivol and though that the fight will be similar to Canelo vs Kovalev. Also on the paper, Canelo was much better than Bivol. Bivol was not even rank1 in his weight class and Artur Beterbiev looked much more dangerous (some people say that that was one of reason Canelo has chosen Bivol instead of Beterbiev). If Canelo would work more to get a KO, and GGG on gaining points, then we would see another close to draw fight that Canelo would win again thanks to judges.


GGG on gaining points? That's not possible, because GGG is a KO artist and Canelo boxed better than GGG, so when if we talk about points, the advantage will be on GGG. Honestly, I love to see an all out war in this fight, both fighters should go for a KO as this could be their last fight against each other.

I agree with that, GGG is not fast, he only has the power but Canelo can absorb is power that's they can go toe to toe until the end of 12 rounds. This trilogy should be an entertaining fight, no one would run here as they are both ready to trade punches.

Converge seemed doing a pretty good job so far in this season.

I like their great start, they won again by a good margin and this time against the DYIP.

I don't know if the ranking is already updated (https://pba.ph/standings), but having a 2-3 start will give them an opportunity to be in the elimination.
2551  Economy / Speculation / Re: Today is the day on: June 21, 2022, 10:47:03 PM
It's either a generational buying opportunity with bitcoin being the most oversold it's ever been, or it's the end of bitcoin and it's finally dead LOL
bitcoin is not dead as many people expected or reasoned about cryptocurrency falling at this present situations of cryptocurrency. If you peruse into the history of cryptocurrency it's quite understood that cryptocurrency actually or normally fluctuates in value and if this, happen seriously or a take a drastic measures people who have not witness the collapsed of cryptocurrency in price regulations come in conclusion that this is the end point of cryptocurrency. So i don't believe that Bitcoin can be eliminated or wiped out to the generation because of price difference occurrence.
I support you in this...
Bitcoin had already gained trust which make this thing become a valuable digital asset at this time (and in the future). Of course, those who never see its value and importance in real life can't see a better view of it and just throw negative talks. As this bear season comes, we have been tested again - our patience, trust, and the confidence of holding. Unfortunately, many people had quit and sold their Bitcoin thinking the end of crypto. Definitely, we could say they are wrong and that was because we have experience and believe that this is just a temporary.
2552  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do real traders care about bear & bull market? on: June 21, 2022, 10:13:54 PM
In reality, Traders always make fortune during bullish market and making their survival on a bearish market. This is the reason why I think traders care about the market situation. Traders could still profit even we are in a bear market. Remember that traders always follow market trends, This way traders can enrich their winning chance on their trades. There are many trading techniques that can make traders win on a bear season like this. I still like doing scalping, It still makes me profitable even on this kind of market season we have.
That is why I really appreciate how these traders worked despite the market situation and that is to say that trading is not an easy job. But somehow, these traders had made their way to survive from the hard situation making just a few bucks every day (or sometimes losing). But I guess they never complain about it but rather make themselves adapt to every situation and still be consistent with their doings. Real traders will never quit as long as there is a chance, that's their mindset.
2553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: June 21, 2022, 12:47:43 PM
<snip>....but for sure the negotiation in terms of money will be different in the rematch.

Of course, Bivol beat Canelo already in their first fight, and he clearly won the fight, so I don't think he will still accept to be underpaid in the rematch, that would be a big insult on his part. Canelo is a PPV attraction but let's respect the better fighter by not giving him a very low cut.

So what really happen with Calvin Abueva?

The words JAPAN! JAPAN! JAPAN! and BYE PBA! that's big, is here serious with that, and will soon leave the PBA for JAPAN?

He was really frustrated because he thought there should be no call, but the words coming from his mouth, it simply tells that he is not 100% happy playing with the PBA.

That was just a burst of emotion after he was called for his second technical foul which led to him being ejected from the game.

There is a news article now saying that Calvin Abueva is suspended by one game and fined 10k Php for that outrage hehe, does he deserved that suspension?

Maybe playing in Japan will earn him more money but it is just different when you are playing at home and near to your family which I think some of the players are thinking that is why some of them did not pursue their Japan journey.

The fact that the word Japan came out from his mouth, that means he is considering playing in Japan, and if he is not happy with the PBA rules, then maybe one day we will hear the news that Calvin is going to the B League. IMO, it's good if he will play as it's more competitive their and the salary is way better than what he is making in the PBA.
2555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Paper Money Revolution on: June 20, 2022, 11:00:31 PM
Gifting is done in different forms. This is a new way to gift, instead of providing with a flower bouquet that doesn't have any usage afterwards. Though the paper money is going to be useless, for now it is valued and people are much into it. Even now it is possible to see people that hasn't got used to card payments. For them cash is king unlike the inflation and other factors. Maybe in the later years we can experience these flowers bouquets replaced by a paper wallet.
Paper money will still exist a hundred years from now, but we are not sure about digital currency.  It seems to look at that people appreciate much with paper money more than these digital currencies which in fact, some countries aren't yet supporting. It is to say that people are too much confident with this and they can use paper money where ever they are and are accepted, unlike card payments. And much more as a gift than other stuff like flowers.
2556  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need Help for investment in new projects on: June 20, 2022, 09:54:49 PM
The market is not doing well. I think token-based projects have the potential to be a bigger scam, especially facing a bear market where large-scale coin suppression always impacts all cryptocurrency-based projects. Just suggesting it's better to save your money than you will lose, but it's your choice because it's your money.
Might say it was his money but I don't recommend making a stupid decision because it was their money, he is supposed to listen what other says and advice or else he put into a wrong investment. At this bear market condition, a number of new projects have been turning into a scam/exit scam this become a reason why we should be smart enough in choosing project/s to invest with. In fact, there are a lot of promising projects which is ideal for long-term and short-term investment which I suggest for OP to consider.

Thanks mate, I like to join the competition, I already read the rules and it seemed like you have already perfected it.

No need to change (remove or add), let's make it the final rule. When will the competition start?
2558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 20, 2022, 01:03:41 PM
Well, let's just see how this man will progress as he's one of the promising teammates there. And we just love to see all of them stay and I think that the Warriors management is fond of just allowing their players to stay and if someone wants to go away, they'll just allow it.
So, they're all in favor of anyone who has a request to go out and in as long as it will help them grow and as well as the team to grow as well.

We've seen him progressed already, from a first five player when Thompson is out to a 6th man coming from the bench. And he has a good series or playoffs, becoming the 4th scoring options.

So if his contract is up, then maybe he will get a bump from his salary because of how the give for the Warriors this season. It's hard though as the Warriors has spend too much money already for this big 3. He will be a good catch for every team, might be like the situation of Caruso with the Lakers before. But when he get out he was being offered huge salary.
Well, if he's out for sure there's a bigger offer that he can never ignore. While they're at their best, they have to choose wisely. If no higher offer but he's being allowed to stay for the Warriors, he has no choice but he's still good with a good team to stay and get another ring for the next season.
It's not going to be easy but they've been there and his mates are veterans already that have enough experience and they can do it again all together.

Klay Thompson's performance is understandable, he is still a huge factor for the success of the Warriors this season, he was not 100% but he gave everything he can to help the team, and if we all remember, Thompson had some big game especially game 6 against the Grizz where they close the series, and to be honest, Grizz scare the Warriors a bit due to their good bounce back games.
2559  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to avoid crippling losses when trading? on: June 19, 2022, 11:04:12 PM
When someone wants to be a trader and exist here for long term then its important to know their limits which is based on their financial level, financial goal and time availability for all these stuffs. Better avoid doing the day trading or even looking at the price chart for too long because it will create panic situation which can even leads to wrong decision. Better to use the stop loss all the time so it can save from the sudden dumps which happens on the market.
Stop loss is indeed important in trading but not in the case this time, we'd rather use the volatility of the market to buy and sell, and make a profit from it, not losses. Experienced traders might not seem to have a problem in bear season, it was those starters or beginners as I know the current situation is too risky. That is why I don't push people (beginners) to do trading but instead spend this time familiarizing the market behavior and making ready for the upcoming days when this is over.
2560  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is alternative cryptocurrency meeting up to it expectations on: June 19, 2022, 10:10:29 PM
As to know that people are coming here for "MONEY" earning some amount upon investing altcoins, not in the purpose of using this as a currency to buy stuff as it failed. In this current situation, that seems hard to provide that thing and meet our expectations. Yet, I consider this bear season as an accumulation time making ready for the upcoming halving and bullish market. And to note that not all the time investing in crypto is a fruitful one, sometimes it ends up losing especially if we got influenced by our emotions.
