2621  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why the price of Bitcoin still in such a state? on: April 20, 2022, 10:26:08 AM
In my opinion, the price of bitcoin stabilized after correcting a few weeks ago. However, as investors remain cautious, the price of bitcoin has fallen again in recent days, although the decline is in the $40k-$39k range. But no one knows for sure that the cryptocurrency and bitcoin markets are down. Perhaps one of the contributing factors is the increasing number of negative sentiments as well as the uncertainty of global macroeconomic conditions and the Russia-Ukraine geopolitical conflict that made traders nervous.

The Russian-Ukraine conflict is still at the background, so investors are going to be very reluctant and maybe they want some assurance first before investing again. And that's why it fit the pattern of a bear market this year, as the price goes down to $40,000 and there is the possibility that it can still go down if there will be another FUD or negative news. But then again, the uncertainty and geo-politics can be turn around by anti-bitcoin and use it to spread malicious news that will cause the market to decrease slowly.
2622  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez Title Unification Fight (April 30) on: April 20, 2022, 10:01:24 AM
The odds for Stevenson is 1.16x, for me it's really small and doesn't worth to bet, I thought his odds around 1.50-2.00x. I think Valdez isn't in his prime anymore, that's why the bookie listed him as an underdog. I was impressed with his performance against Scott Quigg 4 years ago, even his just was broken... he still fight and won the fight. But his last fight against Conceicao, he's not perform well.

Yes, I guess they rely on his performance against Conceicao, and then the allegations that he uses PED. But we will see if the odds are justified or not, I think Oscar Valdez still possessed one of the best left hook in this division.

Others might be surprised by the odds disparity including myself, but bookies have their own way on weighing the favorite and the underdog and hopefully this is not a trap if you put a huge amount of bet on Shakur for a ML win.
2623  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: April 20, 2022, 03:19:47 AM
I did watch the first fight and it seems that Donaire could have a better chance if he could just continue with the volume of punches. However, when he tries to get inside, Naoya is countering him beautifully and that made a impression of the judges that he is winning the round. Didn't see Donaire's counter punching though and the left hook was just thrown later. He should used it more and not rely on the overhand right of his because Naoya was blocking it with his hands and simply avoiding it as Donaire is not that fast in this fight.
2624  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: April 20, 2022, 02:36:44 AM
It was a brutal tennis day for me. I don't think I did this badly at any point in last couple of years. I missed all my bets today. I had Goffin, Lajović, Cabbales Baena, Korda, Andujar, Ymer +4.5 and all of them lost Smiley I just got Ruusovori 2:0 correct to have some green among all the busts. Good thing I did not have time to share my picks today.

I haven't started my picks yet for this tournament, for sure this is just a bad day for you and you can get back at it.

I'll probably start with Tiafoe vs Dellien -1.5 for Tiafoe.
FAA vs Taberner - FAA 3.5

There's so much game today, and hopefully you guys can make a good pick and carry our momentum in this tournament.

Alcaraz and Tsitsipas will also see action today, probably might be good to look at them as well.
2625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 18, 2022, 12:31:15 AM
The fight is very controversial and for many years, Canelo has been haunted by it. Boxing writers continue to ask him why he didn't want to give GGG a third fight. And maybe he wanted to show who the real winner is but facing him in the trilogy. But we can talk about it later once he settled and win against his tougher opponent in Bivol next month.

Yes, Canelo doesn't want that trilogy as he already claimed he's the winner in 1st and 2nd fight. Nothing to prove anymore. But is that really a reason or Canelo just accepts the fact that GGG is the toughest opponent he fought in his prime?

I don't know what thing happened that makes Canelo change his mind, maybe pressure or just imagining how much the expected revenue that the trilogy will make if he accepts it and finally seal their chapter.

But yes, we can talk this more if he beats Bivol. If he will lose here, no trilogy will happen and GGG will move on to other opponents.

Maybe combination of both? He signed the biggest contract in boxing with DAZN when he separated with GBP. But the thing is, months after, GGG also signed with DAZN so it's just a matter of time that the network will set up this fight because they know that the revenue is going to be big. And so Canelo can't avoid it, and maybe he also think about the money in the table for him, and could be the second richest boxer behind Floyd.
2626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: April 18, 2022, 12:00:03 AM
surely it will be an interesting match and Fokina is in a moment of really good form ... it will be my impression but he really had a lot of difficulty games before reaching the final...

the greek Tsistipas starts as a strong favorite @1.22 but I think they will fight also during this match
Tsitsipas won it in the end without much problems. It looked a couple of times that Fokina will manage to make it more competitive but it was just for the spell of couple games. Not enough to really challenge Tsitsipas. I had a bet of +5.5 on Fokina so it passed and another one on his win which did not. Great tournament for both of them.

Looking forward to Barca and Belgrade next week. Some nice matches in store for us. We should finally see Thiem back in action.

Yeah, I thought that the match will go on a three set specially on how Fokina made a comeback in the second to force a tie break. I'm glad he did because I have a Over 21.5 bet on the match at 2.03 boosted, and I thought that I have lost it already because Tsitsipas is taking control already.

Oh so Thiem will come back? That's good news for his fans.

And congrats again for those who won some sats in this tournament. Overall, it was a good one for me.
2627  Economy / Speculation / Re: Btc price moving too much on: April 17, 2022, 11:47:17 AM
Btc price moving too much can the btc maintane the trust of people still to hold btc ?
Can they ? Btw...if market act like this many people will turn of from crypto and if btc not stable you cant use futures many people make food money with binance futures but if market like this they lose job as futures trader will be bad as there is no real jobs there is but low payed jobs but if goverment dont spend on jobs they need more budget for military and police and prisons.

I guess you really need to study the market since the beginning, Bitcoin will not be stable at any given time.

There is no need for jobs traders will accept goverment funding binance and btc thats enough so we can earn fee 2000-5000$ at least monthly.

You need to work your ass off if you want to earn that amount montly. Don't blame the government.

Goverment need to step in and support our losees also i hope they do btc stable

No, I don't think that the government will do that. Again, you take the risk, you don't blame others if you lost.
2628  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predicts Bitcoin price by 2025 on: April 17, 2022, 10:51:03 AM
look at bitcoin ATH cycles that span from four to five years. Among bitcoin price predictions that exceed 200K is very possible but for that bitcoin must be able to pass 100k and of course this will probably happen in 2024-2025 and for now we still have the opportunity to capture it
anything is possible and Bitcoin always peaks in price after bad times, there's no doubting that.
but speaking of predictions, so many people have issued their predictions even the prediction of 100k Bitcoin has been heard from a few years ago.
but I myself do not make speculations about the price of Bitcoin in 2025 but I believe at this time the price of Bitcoin will soar, 100k or more.

Bitcoin has proven itself that it is a hedge against the inflation and FED hike. So if you are a smart individual, obviously you will have to go to bitcoin not because you want to make money but by just preserving your wealth on it.

The price action is just an icing in the cake for some, but for the majority of us here, we wanted to see a good price in the future, more likely a new all time high again after the block halving.
2629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: April 17, 2022, 10:17:11 AM


But in any case, a Haney victory will put in as the undisputed, but he has to deal with the more technical fighter in Loma to be call the best of this division. Even though he is the favorite, I think Kambosos has a good chance to win this fight.

It's a technical fighter against a technical fighter, it's a bad idea for Haney to go for a decision he must stop Kambosos he is in the hostile territory we all know how bad Australian officiating is, if he wins by decision it should be total domination Haney should not underestimate the hometown decision, this is a hard task for Haney but let's see if judges will be fair this time after what happened to Pacquiao there.

Haney's father knows that, and so it's a big task ahead of them. But seeing the odds and they are the favorite? obviously, something is going to come up, maybe Haney's technical skills will be hard for Kambosos style. I'm not seeing a Haney knock out victory, it will be on a decision, but then again, can the judge be fair against the American in their home soil?
2630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: April 17, 2022, 09:37:23 AM
How will you guys grade Spence Jr performance though?

For me it's a solid 9 out of 10, boxing IQ, aggressiveness, strategy, volume, defense (except for the mouth incident in round sixth), he seems to be in the zone and very fluid movement in this fight.

So definitely there is no effect of the eye injury and he come back a notch better against a great fighter in Ugas.
2631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: April 17, 2022, 09:08:03 AM
And then on the Zverev vs Sinner, maybe I will go with the underdog Sinner 2.6 ML.

That's quite a good one, actually. I think Zverev has been below his usual standards, and Sinner is rising fast and is still under-rated. Those are decent odds for Sinner to win, in what would not be a huge upset at all.
They have played each other once before on clay, at Roland Garros in 2020... which Sinner won in 4 sets.

Almost mate, Sinner won the first match and then Zverev the second.

It comes down to the third wherein it goes to the tie-break.

So 2/3 for me, won the other two matches as I have bet on the Over points.

Semi-finals, Zverev vs Tsitsipas and then we have Fokina vs Dimitrov. I'll go Under 23.5 on the Zverev vs Tsitsipas and then Over 22.5 between Fokina and Dimitrov.

The same situation I have seen with Alcaraz here in Montecarlo I also see here with Sinner... the lack of experience during the key events of a match or tournament.
both are certainly growing their capabilities and they are reaching to be top players who regularly win even difficulty games...

I got both this time, I said the under for Zverev vs Tsitsipas because I predicted that Tsitsipas will win in 2 sets and he did.

For the Fokina vs Dimitrov, another classic for the giant killer, but I doubt that he can continue his run against the defending champion in the finals.

So in this match will go Over 21.5 at 1.94, good enough for me.
2632  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Read]:New ZingoStealer infostealer targets crypto and crypto related wallets on: April 16, 2022, 11:01:47 AM
This malware again targets only wiNd0ws users because it is in format of loader.exe file, so anyone running Linux or Max should be just fine and protected from this.
However, Zingo is mostly affecting gamers and users who are using Adobe applications, and most of them are sadly using wiNd0ws operating system.

I would suggest anyone who is dealing with Biitcoin to buy good old cheap laptop (Thinkpad would be a good choice) and install Linux operating system.
Use this computer only for crypto and other important stuff, that will be separate from gaming and regular everyday browsing.
This way you are drastically reducing the risk of infecting your system with this and any other malware.

I have one laptop that I used exactly as this, with Linux OS for my crypto related stuff. Good choice although still has flaws but at least I'm not going to be prone from this kind of attacks because you will never know that you might silently install some malware in your PC specially Windows type based OS.
2633  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin could hit $100,000 within a year, crypto firm's CEO predicts! on: April 16, 2022, 10:21:32 AM
Bitcoin could hit $100,000 within a year, the CEO of crypto lending firm Nexo has predicted.

Since his business works with crypto, it's part of the job description to convince people that crypto has a good future.
Making price predictions is one such move. The prediction has 0 value because it's a prediction and the bigger/more interesting the price published, the better chances newspapers will talk about that, also indirectly advertising his company. It's a win-win situation by just telling a number.

So it's a biased prediction with absolutely no value. Sorry.

And same with the other so called perma bulls in the market, their job description is to attract wealthy clients so they have to sing praises about bitcoin and it's massive price increased in the near future so that the potential clients will invest millions on them, and it means profits as a cut for this investment crypto firms. Although the chance to hit $100k is the future is high, it might take some time though and no one knows the exact time when we will achieved it, hence it's a waiting game for us, lots of grinding and years of patience.
2634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 16, 2022, 09:06:02 AM
^^ From what I observed on Bivol's training videos in preparation on this fight, he seems to be very agile at his weight, uses a lot of feet, in and out and maybe this will be his strategy. But as you have said, can he maintain this during the duration of this fight? what if Canelo found a way to slow him down just like in the Caleb Plant fight wherein in the middle of fight, Canelo got his rhythm, and then slowly takes over the fight.

That will be his gameplan but that may change on the fight night if he saw Canelo is using another technique, there will be a lot of strategy to each other's movement and surely Bivol will gather everything to defend his title successfully but knowing Canelo he won't give up easily and will always find a way to find that certain weakness of Bivol. Canelo is really unpredictable and that will be Bivol's biggest challenge and if he cannot read behind Canelo's movement, that same challenge will turn into his biggest nightmare.

Yeah, probably is, they know that they need a lot of head movement and feet because they shouldn't be a stationary because Canelo is going to target that head. But with a lot of feint and moving away from Canelo's strong hands, maybe the fight will go to distance or Bivol getting lucky by catching Canelo coming inside. But that is a small chance, Canelo's boxing IQ is also very high because of his experience fighting a lot of champions.
2635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Davis vs Romero: May 28 on: April 16, 2022, 08:41:15 AM
That odds cannot be true. I can't believe it's too high, maybe I won't expect an exciting fight anymore, the odds should already tell that this is going to be a one-sided fight. I thought the fight prior to this was a better one, although Davis won the fight but it wasn't an easy one for him.

The only advantage of Romeo here is his height, if he can use it well, then maybe he will make an upset.

Maybe the hype was no longer there as well? They're supposedly to face against each other in December and the hype that time was big because Romero was doing all the talking and even went on full display with a fur coat during the press conference or face off if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, his height is only his advantage but we have seen Davis knocking out big opponents prior in Barrios. It will be interesting though has his hands are, if they remain brittle throughout his career then maybe it will affect him in this fight.

2637  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin reaches maximum, target $80K BTC on: April 15, 2022, 10:04:02 AM

In my personal opinion I see it as a good time to invest a good amount in BTC and leave them a few months to mature, what do you think? Will they do the same as me?

BUY, HOLD, and SELL.
That is what people who want to have investments should do because buying, holding, and selling will give them the opportunity to make a profit.
Try to be a holder and don't be a weak hand because that will do you nothing but losses.
The current price range is still good enough to buy and hold for a while as the bitcoin price will surely return to a higher price.
The next bitcoin price forecast could be in the price range above yesterday's ATH so it's not too late to buy bitcoin and hold it.

It's easier said than done though, many could be in panic if they see that they portfolio might be going down hard so instead of buying in the dip, they sold and take a lose at one point in time.

And I think this part of being in this industry wherein emotions play a big part.

Now the price is somewhat in the $40,000 region, which is still a good indication that we are not going to fall further or even reaching the lowest low. We still have a good chance to even go as high as $45,000 again.
2638  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: invested in these coins on: April 15, 2022, 09:33:26 AM
^^ BNB looks solid, and so is XRP and SOL. I guess though that XRP is going to get huge once they won their case against SEC so its' good that you have that in your wallet. SOL is also doing good in the market and we all know how stable BNB since the beginning and has been in the top 5 position since last year.

However, for SHIB, this could be just for pure pump and dump so just be careful with those. Not saying that it is a bad investment, but for such meme coins, there could be some manipulation from behind that will make this coin either be successful or you and others losing their money on it.
2639  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are your coins really safe stored in your wallet? on: April 15, 2022, 08:43:22 AM
How safe then are the wallets used in storing coins? And if they could at any time and in any way be compromised hence losing your bitcoins

To be honest, not all wallets are safe, it could be hack, your coins stolen, and there are a lot of point of entry for you to lose your coins not just from hackers and criminals. Let's say your house got burn and your hardware wallet is store there and your back up. So it's better to have a backup somewhere else, maybe in bank vault or something. So it's matter on how to practice security or even privacy hygiene to protect yourself from losing your Bitcoins.

But for now, Crawford is going to watch the fight for sure and decide after the fight itself.

Crawford had already made a decision and that is to fight Spence, so whoever wins the fight between Spence and Ugas, I'm sure Crawford will challenge the winner and go with another unification fight. People are already predicting that Spence will win, but would that mean a big fight between Crawford and Spence will finally be realized?

Yes, it's a big fight if Spence win and then Crawford sign with PBC and make the fight happen. Crawford wanted to see who is the best in the welterweight so he is eyeing Spence. But as we have discussed before, Spence has so many excuses, and the sticking point the split. However, if Crawford signs with PBC in which Spence is also under, then maybe we will this find finally be realized.

I hope to see that happening, if that is the only chance Crawford will have a chance to fight Spence, then I think the decision is right, However, as the fight is approaching, Spence should be ready and must win against Ugas. Boxing nowadays has become a big business for most boxers, they value what they can earn more than the fans experience.

Everyone is really hoping that Spence and Crawford will clash after this fight specially if Spence win. The chances are high if Crawford signs with PBC, but we will see, maybe he can handle the negotiations and will agree with the terms that Spence will set. And for sure both knows the magnitude of their money, the money that they are going to make could be the biggest in their boxing careers so this fight should happen business wise.
