Binance still be my choice. For now there are a lot of project that use BEP20 token, and if it keep happening, i think BNB can reach high price although maybe not like ETH yet. But if me i will really confident to hold BNB maybe BNB only can be dead token if Binance collapsed and close their service, and i think it can happening in really small chance.
Ethereum and Binance are definitely my top picks. Although its a long way to go before next year starts, so there might be a lot of price changes in the crypto market too. The top valued coins might be dumping while those coins who are in dump might have all the chances to rise again.

But for me, ethereum and binance will never be left behind as they are always bound to grow more, seeing their value even becomes higher. As long as they are always in demand, then having them as our investments will keep us profitable.
2602  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are meme/NFT investment really worth the hype they're getting?. on: August 17, 2021, 09:38:12 PM
Obviously, no. People just found new source of "easy" money. Now they are hyping and trying to earn more money from thin air
Meme coins and NFT might only be good for temporary gains but if you want to make real investments that will satisfy you with huge returns, then we should not rely in meme coins and NFT. I think they are just good for pump and dump and the worst is their value might not be recovered and might only end up as shitcoins.

Focus on bitcoin and ethereum. Their value might be hyped too but the security is there that even if the value gets dumped, they will always recover and keeps surging even more.
2603  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is the new gold standard of the future on: August 17, 2021, 09:19:50 PM
Yes, at the moment Bitcoin is succeeding as a substitute for gold but much better. It is like google maps to paper maps. Although we cannot say it definitely yet, we will have to wait for the Bitcoin to surpass gold in market cap. At that point the defenders of gold will have to admit defeat. 

Apart from that, we will have to see if tomorrow it will be used effectively as a currency and as a unit of account.
Times change, and even if gold was without a doubt the best store of value that you could hope for thousands of years bitcoin is better in almost every aspect, probably the only disadvantage that it has compared to gold is that in the case of gold people can very easily understand its value just by looking at it, gold looks valuable and bitcoin is just a bunch of numbers on your computer screen and many people fail to see how that represents value.
If people will only focus on gold, then they cannot really determine the true value of bitcoin. Gold is only good in the ancient times and its value is only fixed. But with bitcoin, it can totally replace the position of gold because its value is definitely tripled with the value of gold. The only disadvantage is its value has all the possibilities to go up or might dump because of its own high volatility. I think aside from the reason that people have more knowledge on gold rather than bitcoin, they are also afraid that bitcoin will suddenly drop its value when they think they can be great replacement for gold.
2604  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Bitcoin in the highest level of trust? on: August 16, 2021, 09:56:53 PM
Bitcoin does not need anyone trust or rating. Bitcoin had passed through many years of stress and survival and finally scale through this time, now that it had gone far I don't think their is any reasons of looking for numbers of trusts for it to keep moving.
Bitcoin is the boss of cryptocurrency and thereby, the trust is already guaranteed, which can not be compared to altcoins which existence happen as a result of Bitcoin dominance in the society attracting more development of new type of altcoins on a daily basis.

Trust is important even in a digital coin. How are you going to invest in a coin if you don't have trust that it can give you profit? Bitcoin become successful and valuable after more that ten years of existence because of peoples trust (demand) and because of the purpose why it was created by Satoshi. Bitcoin can be an asset and currency and people like it very much. It also help a lot of people during this time of pandemic that leads to gain more trust from the people.
Amidst the pandemic that we are facing today, most of the stores have been closed due to bankcruptcy and so lot of people have become jobless. And bitcoin just come right perfectly. Although its presence have been here for over ten years but its demand is now more acknowledge in this time of pandemic. It has offered a lot of jobs to people and good investments that can cover all their expenses in their daily necessities. So why would they still put their trust into another coins? When in fact bitcoin is definitely the perfect coin they all have been looking for.
2605  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Altcoins Have Good Opportunities in the Next Year on: August 16, 2021, 09:37:39 PM
In the next year which altcoins are able to provide the best value in the market, given that so many altcoins have emerged that cannot be the best source to invest in, market conditions do not provide the best place for them at the moment.

Three months ago we were shocked by what happened to Dogecoin, suddenly the selling price rose so rapidly from the previous purchase price, this shows that there are events that people cannot predict regarding the condition of the altcoin itself, even though there was an increase in the price of Dogecoin at that time. , there is speculation from Elon Musk.

At least that's a solid reason why Dogecoin is rising so fast at a fairly high price, even though the main evidence hasn't been met for the actual occurrence.
Nowadays people are again hoping that other altcoins can follow in his footsteps, but there is no guarantee if we look at the current market conditions.

Which altcoin has the greatest chance of emulating Dogecoin's current state, is there any chance that other altcoins could take advantage of this in the future?
In my opinion, dogecoin's rise at the time was just temporary hype controlled by Elon Musk. He manipulated the price of the doge in the crypto market and it was not a pure rise. In my opinion, the best altcoin to date is Ethereum. The current and next year's Ethereum network will perform very well. Mass adoption of Ethereum will increase and will become the most traded asset.
Dogecoin was clearly hyped by Elon M usk that time but i think dogecoin won't last unlike bitcoin and ethereum. And to think that its more of a meme coin, so it cannot be a reliable investment compared to those stable coins in the market.

I think there might be new coins that will rise in the market and who knows? They might be hyped too and making their prices surge just like what happen to dogecoin. But if we want to settle with trusted and reliable investments, decentralized coins will do it all and yet, we will have less worries that its value will suddenly drop and end up into worthless coins.
2606  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum is not a rival of Bitcoin on: August 16, 2021, 09:14:57 PM
The comparison of the value of etherum and bitcoin is very far, the price of one BTC is $ 45,975 and one Etherum is $ 3,152 (15 August 2021, 16:53:00). Etherum is far behind BTC, although Etherum’s current popularity is great, unfortunately Etherum still can’t be the first in the market. what do you think?

Making comparison of Ethereum with Bitcoin and using price is just dumd. You were supposed to make comparison in term of adoption.
Do you know why Ethereum is so special, it's because of smart contract, the ability to accommodate other new project and built on it makes it so special, this what bitcoin lack, it doesn't support smart contract.
Looking also at the supply, bitcoin is cap at 21 million, Ethereum has also implemented a mechanism that burn some ether burnt during transaction reducing supply. It's just a matter of fact before Ethereum start competition with Bitcoin.
Ethereum can really compete with bitcoin because it has more use cases than bitcoin but since they  also excel in different ways so they should not be considered as rivals. Ethereum is more on smart contracts while bitcoin is definitely focus on being an asset or investment.

However, bitcoin has always make it on the top, having ethereum on its next. They have different purposes so they should not be considered as close competitors, instead they make the perfect pair in the crypto market.

This is a serious problem by the way but no one have had found the best solution to prevent a child being so engaged in technology.
No one can prevent them to engage in technology as the world is already changing to a digital world, but as a parent, we have to be aware of the new technology, adopt with it so we will be able to monitor and prevent our kids in accessing gambling sites or any site that is not yet suitable for their age, with knowledge, you can manage the firewall of your network and block gambling sites, that would easily solve the problem.
2608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Boxing} Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas on: August 13, 2021, 08:33:37 PM
Something like that. I just remembered that Floyd was questioning Manny's wealth before he said something about fighting professionally despite his age.
Yeah, I remember reading an article where Mayweather questioned Pacquiao's wealth. I am not sure but I think Mayweather was talking about the tax claims against Pacquiao in the Philippines and in the US(article below) and by seeing the amount I guess Mayweather thought that was the reason why Pacquiao still have to fight despite his age.

https://www.supermoney.com/manny-pacquiao-tax-bill-increases-to-the-tune-of-68-million/


Nice article, I thought he only has some tax problem in the Philippines but not in the US, yes, this is really serious especially talking about IRS and he needs to settle the exact amount including the penalty of course. In the Philippines, the law might not be so strict and he has some connections since he is the senator, but not in the US.

$68 million is equivalent to 3.4 billion in Philippine peso, so how rich really Pacman is?
2609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 13, 2021, 08:09:06 PM
All eyes have been on the Lakers super veteran team lately so I'm glad the Clippers finally making some news hehe.  I went on to check their roster and found out they still have a lot of veterans that were former all-stars. I'm not that excited to see this team play for next season.

Anyone else who would like to see Rajon Rondo perform like his "bestfriend" Chris Paul?

Rondo would certainly do if given enough minutes, or maybe he is still adjusting as it was his first season with the Clippers and the team relied heavily on the starters. I also thought that Rajon Rondo would be as good as he was with the Lakers, but it did not pass my expectation yet, but I trust this man, I know he still has a lot to share with his team, so I'll be patient with that.

2610  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It is not easy to make money in cryptocurrency on: August 13, 2021, 01:52:29 PM
Believe me my friend, anywhere in the world, it is not easy to make money. If you see any airdrop that promises 100$, 200$, 300$, 500$ and above just for referring peeps, or sharing post online, then it is atmost 99% fraudulent.

Likewise, if you see trade signals that promises certainty, or bounties that promises you a fixed price for your token, be wary. It is not that easy nor realistic.

not all bounty campaigns give false hopes to participants. because there are many bounties that provide participants with great value. and it could be said that more is realistic than unrealistic. and be my question to you. why have you said bounties only promise high prices but are not realistic in your opinion ??

Bounty token or coin is the same as what investors will receive when they purchase by investing in a project, and it's normal that the team will promise a high value of coin when the project is developed as that is their way to entice investors to risk their money.

Some projects just offer a high bounty reward in dollar equivalent so bounty hunters are attracted to join.

it's true that the majority of the bounty are scams, so it's really hard to find a good one that will succeed in the end.
2611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Student Coin Speculation/Discussion Thread on: August 13, 2021, 01:23:28 PM
Student coin is one of the successful projects this year, haven’t been listed on several exchanges, and planning to list on a big exchange like Binance in the future but it was quite untrustworthy of the team to have refused to pay the bounty hunters who work to promote the project at its early stage this action from the team made me lose confidence in the long-term integrity of the project.
You don’t know that Binance will never list any SCAM project? So their such plan or list application will be rejected in Binance. Yeah, if STC raised over 50 million USD so of course we can say that it was huge successful project But team deceived/SCAM with hunters didn’t payout full payment.   


If they ever announce that they'll get listed in Binance in the future, then I think they are just trying to create some hype so people will again buy STC. The scam accusations are still open, they don't have a good reputation anymore in the community, and no way Binance will give them a chance or they'll be willing to pay for the listing fee.

You can already tell that people are not anymore interested in investing in this coin.
While other coins are already bullish, Student coin is struggling and it might reach a new ATL (All time low) soon based on what we see in the graph.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/student-coin/

The volume is their, but looks like a manipulated volume.
2612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Moloney vs Franco III: Ordered by WBA (No date yet) on: August 13, 2021, 01:01:20 PM
@bisdak40 - we will finally see the fight happening again. hehehe
This is going to be one hell of a fight. I will update this thread if there is a final date of the fight.

It's good that they are ordering a trilogy at the soonest possible time. I will be watching this and still bet for Moloney. If not for that Referee, i could have won my bet as Moloney was the underdog on that second fight, i don't how the bookies will see this third fight maybe the will put Moloney as the favorite once again.

Time flies fast and we are about to witness the trilogy of these controversial fighters. Odds are out and the favorite now is Moloney, opposite on the second fight where Franco was the favorite to win on that fight.

I hope this time, no more controversies and may the best fighter be really declared the winner.



That fight will be on August 15 too?

I checked Sportsbet and it's listed as August 15, s the same date of the fight between Casimero and Rigo.

Since this is a trilogy, both fighters are really competitive against each other, so I think I'm betting on the underdog which is Joshua Franco.
2613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Boxing} Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas on: August 13, 2021, 11:48:22 AM
Does Manny badly needed money to accept this fight? It's already a pity that he had to fight at his age like what Floyd once said but it's still acceptable since he's facing Spence. I don't see any reason why he had to do this now that he's facing someone not as huge or at least known.

Money isn't a problem for Pacquiao anymore. In fact, he's planning to run for a presidential position in the coming election. He's really open and willing to help people who are in need using his own money. I believe that he's just too passionate in everything that he does. He only wants to fill the satisfaction of most boxing fans who are disappointed after Spence backed out.

No, money may not be a problem for him but he still needs money, who would fund it if he runs for president? isn't it coming from his own money? so he has to earn millions of dollars to fund his campaign as he is running the highest office in the Philippines.
2614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: another bullrun before 2021 ends on: August 13, 2021, 11:33:35 AM
We will know that for sure. When it was down by $29,000 we've been stagnant and don't think that much but when it had surpassed $30kish that quick.
It's already a sign that we're waiting for. If it won't break $50,000 we'll set again our standards lowered. What I can say is that let's all enjoy this ride, it's favorable to us.
We just have to observe it first, I made some purchases when bitcoin dump below $30k but I'm not going to sell it anytime soon though I'm already at profit. I'm thinking of bigger gains so I'll be happy to hold this, besides, the ATH was $64k if I'm not mistaken, so $29k per bitcoin is not bad.

Already an almost 20% increase of bitcoin in the last 7 days, that's good enough to think the market is bullish.
We can always observe as that's what we're doing most of the time. Observing, looking at the prices from time to time, it's all that we do daily. Good thing that you've bought when it was on $30k and you're in profit already and it's also a good decision that you're not going to sell that quick. You can have your own decisions since it's your bitcoins and your money that's being invested.

We have to stick with our plan, if our plan is just to make like 5% profit, then we should sell if he hit that, with the bigger target, it needs us to hold longer and if that will be achieved, that would give us big satisfaction for investing in the space.  If this is not a bull trap, we will probably see a new ATH this year.
2615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: August 12, 2021, 09:06:39 PM
Nice information @Japinat.. Thanks, I never thought Rigondeaux was a heavy underdog that fight, I think he is really underrated as a boxer, not a trash talker so people would not know him, I think we might see some upset here as though Rigondeaux is aging, but he still remain with a great boxing record.

it's like Casimero fighting a legend here.  Smiley
2616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling attracted to emotion or luck on: August 12, 2021, 08:58:34 PM
I have noticed that sometimes when I gamble, I used to win unexpectedly even when I never intended to bet. The most shocking thing is that I usually win when my mind is not that prepared to gamble probably jokingly. Anything I'm focused and well prepared I usually lose. I don't know if this is affiliated to luck or just emotions. Does this happens to others?
Well, it happened to me too but is not just happened because of one emotion or calculation but a game of chance which people here refered to as a mere coincidence. Any time you prepared your mind to pay gambling you will lose because you are playing with emotion. Playing gambling is not sometimes the same with trading crypto currency and others in my opinion.
When you bet without preparation and win, then it is luck. I personally gamble in sports always with preparation and calculation and I have several times got big wins this way, maybe it's gambling with emotions that in reality can still give me a win. But, when I gamble at the casino then I gamble carelessly or do not have preparation and do not have calculations, the results can win and lose. With these two differences, I only feel that even if I win in any way and lose in any way, at least the emotional and luck factors always accompany.
Aside from the money you are making via signature campaign you are currently participating do you make regular money from playing gambling. In other words, is gambling your source of income? Since you said you are good at it for I will love to put more effort so that I can good money out of playing gambling.
The effort is not enough, you need to be smart so you'll make money in gambling consistently, you should also be honest with yourself by identifying your weakness as you need to improve that in order to be consistent in gambling. I'm sure many have tried to consider gambling as their source of income, however, it's not that easy but since it's not impossible, we all have a chance here but stick to the reality that gambling house never loses in overall.
2617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: August 12, 2021, 01:51:41 PM

My first wish will be for a healthy season so we could be entertained more without any excuse because of injuries.

That's true, injuries killed the hopes of our favorite teams last playoffs. 3 of the favorites to win the championship had one of their players injured.

LA Lakers, - Anthony Davis
LA Clippers - Kawhi Leonard
Brooklyn Nets - Kyrie Irving.

Also, we have Jammal Murray who was injured before the season and has been ruled out in the remainder of the season.

For Nets, not only Irving was injured actually. Harden was also injured for a long time. In fact, there were some times that both of them were injured at the same time. Kevin Durant had to carry the team those times. He still did a great job while they were injured. But it was too hard for them to promote to the next round against Bucks like that.

Yes, Harden was also injured and although he got back in the game, he is still not 100% so he was still not able to help his team to win and beat the Buks in the East conference finals, if they only they havea  healthy Irving, I'm sure the Nets will be able to beat the Bucks in less than 7 games.
2618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Exposed to children on: August 12, 2021, 01:07:44 PM
Yes I see a lot of people streaming online not only the children will be exposed to gambling but of course out of their curiosity they will would definitely try this out especially they are about to win real money, I think youtube and twitch are not that strict in regards with this kind of contents.

As strict as restrictions are on the Internet, they are easily circumvented, and we all know that very well. As I have already repeatedly said it makes absolutely no sense to forbid something to a child, but to teach him to fully trust you and listen to your advice and recommendations is quite possible. Once you get your child's trust you can easily find out what he does on the Internet and at the right moment you can convince him to give up this or that content or hobby.
we have a different way of disciplining our kids, me, I would never expose them to online gambling as I know if they learn, I might not be able to monitor them and since they are just kids, they are not matured enough, so they might easily get addicted, and I don't want to blame myself for being an irresponsible parent too.
2619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: August 11, 2021, 09:54:23 PM
Well , I had no idea about summer league until I saw this post so cheers to you.

One question tho. Are teams really playing with at least some of the main players that will play in the regular season ? because I can't find who is playing for who but I might take a peak to find some streams and wait for tomorrow game of Bulls against Pelicans.

Summer league I basically Rookies and second year guys.  Established players and vets don't play.  It's basically a showcase and for some guys on the outside looking in at making rosters to show their game off.  And for the drafted Rookies it gets them time with the team to run plays they will be running during the season.  Either way it's a fun watch

This is the opportunity for the rookies and the bench players in the regular season to earn good minutes as they will only be used in the regular season when their team will have a very comfortable lead or when they are losing and the team has a very little chance to win anymore.
2620  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are the bulls back? on: August 11, 2021, 09:13:49 PM
well, I think we don't have to wait another 4 years to reach new all time high. Currently the crypo market is in a bullish trend. The price of eth and bitcoin is approaching ATH. The hard fork of eth greatly affects the crypto market. So never sell our coins.
It's likely to be like that because it's not always ATH that happens every 4 years, because the ATH problem depends on the enthusiasts of all coins based on demand and supply, because the market is a place to trade and invest, so if more and more people buy and then invest, then ATH achievement is getting closer.
Forget about the demand and supply, right now, we are still in the speculation stage, just noticed that there's always a significant movement every time there's big news, may it have a bad or good effect on the market. Since this week, we have had some good news, and it's a big one actually, so this resulted in the market is bullish, and it's not new actually.
