261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Secure your crypto wealth by not having it all in crypto on: December 22, 2023, 03:31:35 PM
This topic of conversation will always be relevant, since with the development of cryptocurrency technologies, there is always a gap in the system for protecting the storage of your capital. It’s not all that simple, unfortunately, the trend of fraud does not stand still, so always be vigilant and be careful about any actions with your funds.
That is why we can't assure 100% safety of our money and it might happen that the next time we check our wallet it was empty already.
In many cases, this happens and even using an offline wallet has no excuse because these scammers will hunt you once you become their target. That is why putting everything( hard-earned money) in crypto was not a smart idea. We'd rather choose to invest in other forms of investment so whatever happens to our crypto investment, we never lose everything.

I agree gambling addiction and gaming addiction are different.
Yes because you can be addicted to game without risking money, while in gambling, there's always money involved.

But any addiction could be cured if you would help yourself, it is always up to you to make the change.
Because no matter how many chance you get to change or stop your addiction it is useless unless you really want to stop.
Changed always comes from ourself others might help you change, but it is up to you if you really want to stop your addiction or be consumed by it.

no, not all the time as not everyone are capable of correcting their own mistakes. There are gamblers who have severe addiction, they don't know what they are doing anymore as all they do is to follow their urge, that, they can't cure themselves but they need some help either from their family or to the experts.
263  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney (9th of December) on: December 21, 2023, 12:53:41 PM
And with that, as champion, Matias has been in the radar now, and for sure next year there will be some sort of unification fight at 140 lbs as there are a lot of big names in this division, including Keyshawn Davis putting his name in the mix.

As per Haney, negotiation is ongoing for a fight with Ryan Garcia which coincides with what Ryan brags on his social media account. Haney is not keen on a unification fight, he wants a money fight which I think Ryan Garcia will give as the latter is famous online. Though on paper, Garcia will be the huge underdog here but with his newfound defensive strategy I think he can handle and may defeat Haney if those power bombs would land on Haney's body and chin.

Haney will just destroy the future of Ryan Garcia in boxing. If Ryan will agree on this fight, that means he believe in himself that he can beat Haney which I believe he only has 20% chance of winning, or even less. Of course, we never know the outcome, but I believe it's not right to be aggressive as his value is at stake here, if he losses, his value will drop and the kind of emotional effect that will leave on him, and knowing that he had gone through mental struggle in the past, that might result to ending his career early in boxing.
264  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best decision you can take on: December 20, 2023, 11:10:31 AM
As long as trading is concern, it's very essential you have a guideline rules you follow while trading, and one of those rules is not trading when not sure of the market.
As simple as it may sound, it's very difficult to abide by it.

Don't do a trade if you don't know about this, that is a pretty simple and wise choice.

 - we don't need to experience it just to know if trading is hard or easy
 - we don't have to lose money just to realize that we are not ready for trading

Instead, we should not underestimate the market, do research and know how trading works first before doing it. In general, we have to acquire enough knowledge for this field, or else, we make ourselves a fool.
265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A hero or a fool? on: December 18, 2023, 10:57:06 AM
This guy knows himself well and he took the right action to prevent more damage to himself and his family and friends because he lost that huge amount of money quickly, he would be running to his friends to borrow some more in order to recover what he has just lost. Now that he already passed those trials and managed to survive for a decade not to get close there, he should not be thinking of coming back because he won't be safe and secure unless he had the same mindset 10 years ago.
Banning himself is somewhat unusual because what we usually hear is either the casino bans a gambler or another person but in the case of OP shared, I can't really believe it. A hero to himself (or not), if we want not to fall into addiction then have to stop gambling in the first place. Because banning himself couldn't stop him from gambling, there was online gambling which for sure was not included in his exclusion, so he still had the chance to continue his addiction. But if he tends to stop gambling, he could find it as an excuse and force himself to totally forget gambling.
266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? on: December 18, 2023, 07:31:20 AM
1) Do not gamble in work area : It is not ethical to do so. Your employer is paying you to work for him for certain hours. If you waste these hours for gambling, it is a bad habit.
As much as agree that you should follow this, I don't think that you owe your employer especially a bad one all your working hours to just working for the company, if you have the opportunity to have fun or do other stuff in your company, it's a good idea to grab that opportunity, maybe if that employer is one of the best and that person is a leader and not a boss and the pay and the benefits is really good then I would gladly devote that hours to only just work but otherwise, I don't think so. Y'all are a slave to your companies if you don't do this or other stuff when you have the opportunity, that's my take on this prohibition.
It is not about that if you don't like your boss or your employer, you will do other stuff like gambling but remember that you have been paid to work, not to gamble. If you don't like then why not leave rather than do another thing when you are not told to do so? As a worker, you know your responsibility as well and gambling while working is really not a good idea. Just put yourself like the owner or even just the manager, how would you feel seeing any of your workers gambling while at office hours? There is a right place and time for that, why not do it after office hours?
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 18, 2023, 06:47:04 AM
Looks like the Warriors doesn't miss Draymond at all, since he was out they were already in a 2 winning streak.

And because of his absence, this opens up more playing opportunity for Trayce Jackson-Davis, who has been playing well in their win against the TrailBlazers. Though I don't want to get myself too excited on the win since I know myself that Trailblazers is not a playoff team, but the Warriors despite Curry was struggling, his teammates were able to step up, specially his splash brother Klay who scored 28 points that game.
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 18, 2023, 05:09:28 AM
Since gambling is an uncertain way of earning money, it must be dangerous if both husband and wife are addicted to gambling. Because if two people always lose then there will be problem in managing their family life. On the other hand after losing from gambling then behavior changes so there may be internal fights. Even the married life of two people can be different so it is natural for either one to gamble. But if they own a lot of money they can gamble freely but in my opinion you should not let the influence of gambling fall on your family.
It was not just uncertain way but it was not considered as a source of income unless you are the owner of the casino. But since we are just a gambler, we can't expect that we can win over the house that is why gambling is for entertainment, nothing else. So why is good for one of them to quit it is because as they continue gambling there is a big chance of falling into addiction and we know the impact on our finances and family relationships and much more if we have kids already. While it never happens yet, someone must do it or both of them will stop.
269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How exactly do you find new tokens before they blow up. on: December 17, 2023, 11:51:59 AM
This question is to help guide newbies on how to spot new gems themselves.
I believe the best way for people with small liquidity to make good money from the bull market is to invest in small cap projects before they get big.

I’ve always asked gurus( that post is 100X and ask you to join their private telegram) this question but none of them ever give a detailed answer. All they say is DYOR, I mean I’m asking because I want to know how exactly to do my research. Can anyone give a detailed explanation on how to find new projects as they are launching before they gain attention.
New tokens is something you don't need to rush into, that is why if you bring up asking questions about a particular token in the forum, for sure you will be given answers  and more information about the it but but you needto make your own research to see things for yourself ifbit is what you can afford or not . You don't expect people to make you get convinced and invest in tokens. Tokens are very risky,  it is important you make your own research.
There is a time for development where new projects don't easily get support from the community. Sometimes we are just surprised at how they rise knowing that they don't have a use case (and scam). Well, manipulation can be possible in the market, mostly a drill for these new projects, and creating hype gains more attention. Totally risky and as an investor we know the consequences we may face after investing in these hyped projects because all of them don't stay high, they dump after a few days. That is why we should be cautious and don't follow social media influencers, most of them are liar.
270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: December 17, 2023, 08:38:27 AM
Two games upcoming.

3;00 PM sched.

Converge (+9.5) vs Meralco (+9.5)

It's automatic, I leaned on the Meralco on this one with the spread.
I was watching from unathorized stream but it keeps getting take down, so no choice but to just monitor on the score. maybe it's possible to watch it on local tv but since I'm quite busy with my online job now, I could not watch it.

Wow! That one was too easy, Meralco is up by 29 points now, so no way Converge would be able to cover the handicap. It's still not over yet, but 1 quarter and a half is not enough to comeback from this huge deficit, and knowing how defensive Meralco is, they wouldn't allow any comeback as they are very discipline when it comes to defense.

Congrats.



6: 15 PM sched

TNT (+1.5) vs SMB (-1.5)

I think this is a good chance to bet on TN as it was reported that SMB will be bringing a new import today. With that, we can expect some chemistry problem, and I think RHJ would be able to take advantage on that.

In the last game, I also have TNT to win by 11+, actually had some parlay with Meralco with the same winning margin, so wish me luck for this risky bet.

This one I would not follow, 11+ is too high, so I'll go on the safe side. Perhaps I'll just wait for the live and see how the SMB import will play, if he couldn't find the rhythm, then time to hit the TNT bet.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 17, 2023, 06:48:18 AM
As for Beal, he will be out for a few weeks, and it's good that it wasn't that serious at all. It's just a bit unfortunate that in all of their 25 games, Durant, Beal, and Booker only played 1 game, and they lost on that one as well. I wonder if this might be the same as what happened with the Nets when they still got Harden, Irving, and Durant.

Beal hasn't come back fully yet and he was injured again. I wonder how it would affect his confidence now knowing that he hasn't contributed to the team yet. It was always been Durant and Irving who  had consistent contribution to the team, but without Beal which they gave up players for him, I doubt the Suns will have a chance to be in the championship this season, even if Durant and Booker would play like their usual.

Afterward, Suns coach Frank Vogel said that X-rays were negative.

This is the only good news! At least there's still a chance.

Most of the newbies fall into scam projects because of their lack of knowledge and greediness. Not a surprise in their case but they should have changed how it looks besides there are a lot of ways to do that.

 - We should not believe someone who shows their wealth/money and encourages us to invest in their products
 - we should not rush instead, must think several times and do research
 - we have to that success doesn't come easily so stop believing sweet promises and instant money, it is a big lie

Nobody gets scammed if nobody lets it happen and these scammers stop if we don't welcome them.
274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Prove me wrong: Gambling is both more relaxing and entertaining than trading! on: December 16, 2023, 02:19:56 PM
Generally, gambling is entertaining and trading isn't.

If you are both gambler and trader at the same time, you'll already know the answer to this. Me, I see gambling as a way to have fun while trading is for serious venture, either a job or business but we are expected to be profitable for our end result. However, in gambling, regardless of the outcome, there's still that entertainment value we would get if maintain being responsible in gambling.

Sometimes, after I trade, when I could cash out some profit, I use it in gambling to relieve the stress in trading.

Took Magnolia ML @2.40
Nice timing, good lukc with your bet. Magnolia is a team that you can trust especially in the 2nd half as they are good in coming back. Paul Lee is playing, I thought he was injured last time, so this is a close Magnolia team that is down by a double digit. I believe they can make a come back in the 3rd quarter and we will have a close game in the last quarter.

By the way, it's already 77-75 now, ROS only is leading by 2 points.

Nice timing indeed. With two minutes left in the ball game, Magnolia is leading now with 4 points. Shots were not falling now for ROS like in the first half. It nice to see somehow ROS defeating Magnolia here but seems the experience and confidence of Magnolia is too much for ROS.
What a game for ROS, but still Magnolia shows a veterans move its just that they fell short.
I forgot to place a bet, lucky to those who took the risk for ROS. Well, PBA is getting more interesting when the top teams are playing, Magnolia incur their first loss this conference, too bad for them though, they should not be complacent next time.

You are lucky if you were to bet on the Magnolia because their win streak was stopped.

Barroca was the reason  why the Magnolia had a lead in the remaining few minutes, but unfortunately he was also the reason why they lose. I didn't see Bey taking more shots, he should be the one diving the ball inside as he could potentially get fouled, and with good FT shooting, Magnolia will surely be able to get production from him.
276  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Unknown fact our profitable colleagues won't tell us on: December 16, 2023, 01:25:33 PM

it's not by taking multiple trades, it's about the quality of the trades that makes the difference.
After all, we are the makers of our trading journey, we can't rely on others or think that they would help us. That is why we don't assume that even successful traders will tell their strategies ( or secrets) we make it the same. I say no because as you have said, it depends on the quality of our trade and the way we respond to the market changes. Perhaps, we can gain success by our way of trading, our strategies, and of course, our pursuit of our goal. Because no matter how many mentors will accompany and teach us, it is different when we are trading alone.

What are your thoughts on the Brooklyn vs Warriors tomorrow?

Warriors are back at home and will be hosting Brooklyn, as we all have witness the struggle of the Warriors, the question is, can we still trust them to win even at home. By the way, those who aren't updated, Draymond is suspended so Warriors are gonna be playing without Draymond in most of their games.

The handicap for the Brookly is +3.5, I'm thinking of betting on the moneyline.
278  Economy / Economics / Re: Growth mindset versus fixed mindset on: December 15, 2023, 09:42:04 PM

Since, ones mindset can be changed, it's better for one to develop a growth mindset towards all one's activities in life to achieve a great result. Develop a growth mindset toward all your goals today to improve on your business, studies, etc.
Both mindsets will earn success( one step away) but those who have a growth mindset, and the meaning itself will tell us that there are more improvements happen than those who have a fixed mindset. But of course, a fixed mindset can be changed if they are open-minded and if they are looking for more opportunities. But either of the two we belong if we don't work hard and no action is taken, nothing happens.
 
Mindset + action = success
Mindset + no action = fail

279  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is hard!!! on: December 15, 2023, 02:18:24 PM
It's funny how people see trading as a Ponzi or get rich scheme.
It was an assumption and people say this because they are not trading but if they do this in real life, they will find out the truth about how hard is trading.
If I hear someone saying like this, I simply ignore it and never argue with him. I can't change one's mindset if it is already been closed to the reality. That is why I don't encourage people to trade unless they have positivity in mind and of course, they are willing to listen and open for some advice. Trading is not hard to understand but what it makes hard is that we can't make it perfect. No matter what we do, we still experience losses.
280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think will be the next hype in crypto? on: December 15, 2023, 11:35:55 AM
From memecoins to nft's etc what do you think will be the next hype of 2024 or 2025? I personally think of real utility and true privacy. I think CBDC's and constant blockchain tracking will scare a lot of people and they will want true privacy something that monero can bring. Privacy by default is what will be highly desired and needed in the coming future as it will be highly beneficial. Nobody wants to be tracked 24/7 of everything they do.

What do you think?
2022 - we have this NFT pump
2023 - another meme hypes
2024 - I foresee AI projects seems to be popular
2025 - certainly we have no idea

But after all, that is subject to change believing that anything happen in the future has not been told yet. It is just a sort of market event prediction but there is one thing I was sure of that 2025 the market went bullish.
