I am going with the streaking team. ROCKETS!!!

Game: Rockets vs Bucks.

It's the defending champ trying to stop the win streak of the Rockets at home. Honestly, I think the Rockets has a chance for an upset here, and I like to see their confidence again by winning against one of the best team in the NBA. No more complicated analysis, I just want to ride with them.

My pick : +9

Analyze price movements using technical fundamentals and don't eat FUD news that shakes your decision to make a profit.

You also have to understand what are the news outside that would result in FUD as it will certainly make a reaction to some people who are not yet experienced investing in crypto, you know the weak hands will dump and that will result to a panic, and when there's panic, there's an opportunity for the smart investors.
2623  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if $70k was Bitcoin ATH for the year? on: December 10, 2021, 03:55:04 PM
Will you be satisfied if 2021  ends with an ATH of $70k for Bitcoin.
I am satisfied whatever the ATH of Bitcoin this year. We cannot force to have a certain ATH, the Bitcoin price depends on the demand on the market and cannot be controlled. So, even the ATH is only around $68k, we should be satisfied. But if we consider the possibility of BTC ATH, it should be above $70k this year. But it will depend on how the whales and people's demand to drive the next pump or not. If the demand is getting drop, may be the ATH is only about $68k for his year.

We can't force but somehow we are always wanted it to keep on the bullish and healthy market. $50k, $40k, even we ended this year at that price, I think we're still happy for that as it wasn't the worse end for this year, unlike the past years. Though we are not sure what it happen next, I was confident that the market remains healthy and still in the bullish part.

So, why not cheer up and keep our fate strong as well. The market exists for a reason and so we have to support them as well.

We are almost halfway to the end of this year, not sure if a new ATH will be achieved soon, but looking at the present price movement, I'm not seeing a possible bull run anymore as the price movement now is going downtrend. Most probably bitcoin will not stay over $50k by the end of the year if the trend continues.
2624  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: December 09, 2021, 09:01:03 PM

Nonetheless, we will know what will happen soon about this match because for me, I can't know for sure who have the upper hand and more favorable to win and both of them have some advantages.
But Donaire has the most advantage as he is more experienced and he has been a champion many times already, and currently the champion as well. If Gaballo will train hard, harder than he ever did before, then I would say that he has a chance to beat Donaire, however, Donaire is just too good with this timing so I think Gaballo will have his first defeat, and probably through KO.

We are all assuming, but the final verdict will happen inside the ring,

we all see how great Donaire was, but Gaballo also wanted to be known as a great fighter and now is his chance to prove his worth.  

Yes, Gaballo needs to add more routine to his training, watch more videos from Donaire's fights and study how Donaire moves when inside the ring.

Everything is needed to be well coordinated if he really aiming to win against this current champ.

Donaire is quick but he will lose in a fighter that he cannot hurt with his counter, so Gaballo has to make sure that he has a strong chin as that is usually the target of Donaire in a fight, I only saw him tired in his previous fight but he really has strong stamina, but he has to improve more as Donaire is a better fighter than Rodriguez.

Going for the 76ers to win at home, they almost won all their road games and they are on a winning streak now.

Actually, both teams are on a winning streak but I like the 76ers at home being an underdog as I'm sure they can give a good game with the Jazz who played a back to back game, so +3 for me is already good enough as I'm expecting a close game.
2626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 08, 2021, 08:53:45 PM
Game: Boston Celtics vs LA Clippers.

Though Boston here is playing a back to back game, I would still trust them to at least make it a close game and probably win the game.

Therefore my pick is Boston +4  and a little ml bet. Good luck everyone!
2627  Economy / Speculation / Re: New all time high record | $66,000 on: December 06, 2021, 09:58:27 PM
Certainly a great achievement demonstrated by bitcoin which has broken new ATH records. Even though the price of Bitcoin has been steadily dropping lately, it has had its ups and downs throughout its journey. However, as a long term investment, I'm not easily swayed by Bitcoin's current decline in price because I believe in the long term potential of bitcoin where the price might reach $100k to $150k in the next few years.
From year to year bitcoin continues to break the latest ATH and $68k is the highest price we have seen this year, although now the price of bitcoin is decreasing in price in the market, but I am sure that if conditions improve later it will certainly make the bitcoin price refund and can  will be create a new record high price, now it's better for us to wait and see where the next bitcoin will go.
Re-bounce of the bitcoin price happens for sure, but how long it takes is unknown. During every bull market, bitcoin used to mark a new ATH. Similar to that we've got a new ATH for this year. More price Predictions of reaching $100k was much into discussion.
Because we are literally in a bullish market, it's not new to see some bullish predictions. As the price keeps increasing, our target gets higher and higher as well. However, with what happen that bitcoin dump and trading only below $50k, for sure it's not realistic anymore to still target by the end of the year.

our prediction changes based on the market situation.

However the market correction seems to make a decline before the breakout to mark the next new ATH.
Looks like the correction has started already, there's a recovery but it's a slow recovery and we don't know if we can finally see it pump again.

I think I'll be asleep at 00.00 CET, I need to get up early again.
Just 2 hours and some minutes away  Grin

I was not able to participate in the guessing competition but I'm excited for you guys. Looking at the predictions, DdmrDdmr is the closest prediction with $48,999. congratulations in advance to whoever will win but the price seemed no significant movement now, so DdmrDdmr great job.
2629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to my Bitcoin when I die? on: December 06, 2021, 09:16:49 PM
If I die (let's be honest, that will probably happen), would my wife or family get my coins? What if they don't know my passwords/private key?
Then let them know while you are still alive.

Everyone dies, you should keep a private key in your safe and just tell them to access it when you are gone. However, it's also necessary that they understand what is bitcoin and how to use it as it's better if they won't be needing other people's help to cash out your bitcoin in case they'll need to spend it, just for safety purposes.
2630  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you guys think 0.1BTC is enough to "make it"? on: December 06, 2021, 08:42:46 PM
If 1 bitcoin is $54000 now, 0.1 bitcoin will be $5400. Can $5400 buy or build a mansion in your region, that answer is left to you. But to me in my country, 0.1 bitcoin can only buy a piece of land, it can not be used to build a mansion to completion, but 1 bitcoin can build a small beautiful house in my area. I do not know of the future, as bitcoin price is increasing, this can later likely be possible.
I think he is thinking of the bitcoin's price in the future, not the current as 0.1 BTC is obviously a small amount to create a mansion. OP is probably trying to invest now (either slow or instant accumulation), and be one of the long-term investors until the value of 0.1 BTC will reach the amount of his target.

If in the long run, BTC's value will increase to $10 million, then probably 0.1 BTC could already build a mansion especially if you are living in a developing country.
2631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin The Ultimate access on: December 06, 2021, 08:11:25 PM
That's why it's called decentralized, but without a 3rd party in reality our transactions would be limited as bitcoin is still not widely accepted for our daily transactions, we still need fiat to buy kinds of stuff, so exchanges are necessary to convert bitcoin to fiat and vice versa.

If the time comes that there's  massive adoption, then probably we can just directly buy to merchants using bitcoin and hopefully it would be instant, no much waiting time to confirm.
2632  Economy / Speculation / Re: How far can bitcoin price correction go? on: December 06, 2021, 01:03:58 PM
After a long time Bitcoin stabilized at a price of $55k-$57k, finally Bitcoin surprisingly dropped to a price below $50k. This really surprised me,
because I thought that in December Bitcoin could recover and go back above $60k. But my prediction was wrong and it disappointed me enough,
even though my prediction was wrong, I still hope Bitcoin will recover in the near future. Since we know how far the price of Bitcoin goes down
it will always be able to recover and go higher, at least I hope Bitcoin won't drop below $45k this year. Now I have accepted the possibility that
until the end of the year Bitcoin will not return to the ATH price, but I believe in 2022 Bitcoin will reach new ATH, so I'm still optimistic about
the future of Bitcoin and decided to hold Bitcoin until my target is achieved.
your worries won't last long because the bitcoin price will surely return to over $50k

let's make the market correction a moment to buy more bitcoins, we have nothing to lose
If there's no risk then it's appropriate to say that we have nothing to lose.
We are investing, so we would either make profit or lose our money, and that is depending on our strategy.

I yesterday applied for a loan at my office and I want the money to increase my bitcoin investment
Good luck to you mate.. No offense,  but for me, I would never borrow money to invest as I feel it's not a good idea. I follow the principle like in gambling when gamble what I can afford to lose as investing is like gambling as well.
2633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: December 06, 2021, 12:33:40 PM
My pick.

Game : TrailBlazers vs Clippers.

No Lillard for TrailBlazers so I'm expecting the same story on their last two games where they are heavily dominated by their opponents.

-Loss 31 points against the Spurs
-Loss 28 points against the Celtics.

So, not really expecting that they'll bounce back, instead, I expect the Clippers to bounce back after a loss against the Kings.
2634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: December 06, 2021, 10:48:20 AM
Agree with that, he retires in boxing because he is already losing his fights. He lose his last two fights in 2004 and 2005, and he was still younger at that time, so would he expect at his age now? That's a bad idea going out of retirement, he will never win against the heavyweights today.
That's okay for him. He can do whatever he wanted at his age now. Win or lose, there's nothing to lose for him right now. He's just enjoying things and grabbing opportunities that are knocking him. So even it goes with this match, it doesn't really matter if he's just trying to make money for his age. I think it's no longer part of his reputation whether he wins or not in this match. What's important to him at this point is how much is going to be offered to him.
You can tell his passion for the sport, at his age, he is still capable of fighting and to see him the favorite to win this fight, that tells a lot that even an old man can still win against a young and active boxer. Mike Tyson is strong but in this fight, we will see if he still has the power to KO an opponent, hopefully they'll allow that to happen this fight.
2635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 06, 2021, 10:10:39 AM
I've seen a picture of Zion Willamson during the Pelicans game against Rockets and he looked really huge. Someone even compared him to the WWE star Mark Henry Grin I feel sorry for New Orleans fans already. They have Brandon Ingram who played well but it would have been better if they also have him playing too.

Yeah, that's one comment on Zion even before he went to the NBA, weight issues, and now that he is injured and not playing, he has ballooned so much that he doesn't look fit at this point.

That's why his detractors says that he should hire dietitian to help him out control his weight otherwise if will be very difficult for him to comeback if he is going on see-saw diet, not going to be healthy in the long run for him.

The weight was already there, but look how effective he is during the last season and every time he is on the court. Maybe his weight made him injury prone and I'm pretty sure the management and staff would do everything to protect their investment.
2636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: December 06, 2021, 07:10:41 AM
Is Butler really has low chance in this match?
No, it's just that the crowd is favoring Casimero and the bookies are also reliant on that so they can capitalize the margin in the bets for this match.
Bookmaker creates an odds based on what the crowd or majority of the fans think, so the odds is the reflection of what most of us think.


Hoping that this is not the same as Rigo match, that's very disappointing.
More action is what we needed to make the fight interesting.
We just can't really expect things the way we want them to happen. Let's just enjoy things that will happen for this match and for sure that whatever the outcome it comes, another emotion wave from us fans will come.

For sure it's not disappointing because Rigo does Mayweather style but Butler is a warrior who is aggressive in the ring.
I even think that the fight will end early, as to who will win, not sure....... Smiley
2637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 06, 2021, 06:37:33 AM
My question is... do you guys believe there are chances for the Rockets to participate in the playoffs this season?
No, not at all.

In the last 6 games that they won, only one team I believe is a good team, and that is the Chicago Bulls. The others are a non-playoffs team so I don't like to get hype so much with the 6 games winning streak, I need to see more games like the Rockets beating teams like legit good teams.

Their next game is against the Nets, if they'll beat the Nets, then I must say they are legit.
2638  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Making profit with a bubble on: December 05, 2021, 09:59:05 PM
It's just a matter of doing the right timing.

As long as you believe in yourself that you can be profitable, you should implement your strategy as the market behavior has not change yet and we can always refer to the past trends. The bull market is here but the bear market will take over anytime soon, therefore look for a strategy that is suitable for every market situation, that's the only way to survive and to be profitable.
2639  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Diversifying Your Portfolio in Crypto on: December 05, 2021, 09:39:31 PM
Good point, many times people think of diversification only in terms of their portfolio, but it is also important to diversify our income streams, many people depend exclusively on their jobs to get some money, but regardless of the amount they earn if at some point they are fired they will find themselves facing huge economic issues really quickly, however if instead we have two or more income streams if one of them dries up we have another ready to help us out soften the blow, until we can find yet another income stream to replace the one we lost.

But there is a catch in crypto trading, alt coins are strictly dependent on BTC for there price gain or loss. Even if we diversify our portfolio, if btc falls all our coins will fall in price. So there is not much gain in diversifying your crypto portfolio. These are just my few satoshis.

I get your point, of course, altcoins will also fall especially during the bear market, but when it comes to investment, we can invest in long term so the short term price volatility would not affect us. Once the market recovers and starts to be bullish again, altcoins will probably be benefited more as they are more profitable than bitcoin, and of course, we can verify that by looking at the top gainers this year so far and comparing it with bitcoin's total gain in percentage.
2640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 05, 2021, 08:58:53 PM

Anyways it's just a game warriors fans better luck nextime.
Actually I loss that game  Grin

I still trust the Warriors and I still believe they are the best team in the NBA now despite that loss. Just another bad game for the Warriors, it does not happen all the time, so we better watch out for the next game as they will certainly bounce back, should be easy money again.

Of course this is just one lost in the book, maybe they underestimate them or really tired because all their energy was on the Phoenix Suns game.

But regardless, they've learn their lessons in this lost and move forward and maybe next time they won't allow them to run over and have a 20 point lead because it's hard to overcome.

And they can comeback strong and we can recoup our loss in the future.

The next game of the Warriors is against the Charlotte Hornets, not a tough team to beat so the Warriors will probably start strong and finish strong in this game. No odds available yet, but I believe the Warriors are the heavy favorite to win this game since they always bounce back every time they lose, IIRC, they haven't loss twice this season yet.
