2641  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 06, 2022, 01:00:12 PM
Really wish we can just finally see Spence fight Crawford.  That would be an epic fight.  Expecting Spence to take care of business here.  Hopefully they can work out the fight details to get the Crawford match done.  Would be one of the fights of the year if they can make it happen. 

The possibility for that to happen is high if Spence will win this fight. There's no other opponent left for Spence to unify all the belts but only Terence Crawford. They can do it in September after the April bout between Spence and Ugas.

But I don't hype anymore with Crawford vs Spence due to lots of delays that happened to make that official.

Rooting for Ugas to win the fight as it's more entertaining to see an upset.

I think even if Spence will lost this fight they still have a huge chance to negotiate and make this fight to happen since we know Spence still one of the most anticipated fighter and pairing him up with Crawford will be a huge event in the making. For sure their promoters want this also to happen since there are huge amount of money can they get for that fight.

For now Spence need to stay focus on his fight since Ugas is a big threat for his career.
He shouldnt really take Ugas lightly or else that would really be the biggest mistake that he would do on his career on which would might result into his first loss.

I might really be that too optimistic but he shouldnt really be that too easy on Ugas and he might really able to experience some upset on this match.
Promoters or organization will surely go for fights which would really be generating much hype because that means lots of money to generate on.

For sure he is not taking Ugas lightly, it's just only us who think that he can easily beat Ugas because we still underestimate Ugas. A fighter is very discipline and I'm pretty sure Spence because an undefeated does have the discipline and he always take his fight seriously.

If we compare the current bounties from the previous year it's much better in my opinion earlier in the year 2019 I joined several bounties but 5-10% of bounties get succeeded. Bro, you must be aware bounty earnings can not be described in terms of weekly or monthly to get the full fruit one has to hold also If you sell instantly the moment a coin is listed you can not make good money that's all I learned in the past 6 years. Average I do almost 20 bounties at the time.
I can attest to that. You can never make profits from bounties if you don't intend to hold your tokens first before you decide to sell them. But you should also monitor the market more often so you can have the right timing to sell in profits. However, relying bounties nowadays is never a good idea. Good days are already gone and all we have now are those scam projects that are only good at first but later on, they started breaking their promises and they disappear suddenly. Take time to DYOR so you will never regret making efforts joining in bounties.

What is happening is that people use Bitcoin, it does not officially declare it in their business for fears to penalties.

It happened to me something similar as Op:
I was buying a phone to give a family member and the seller knows me that I use BINANCE APP and asked me if I wanted, I could pay the phone sending crypto from Binance Pay.

I did not make the payment with crypto because I had already exchanged my local currency. But on another occasion I will do the test to pay with Bitcoin or any other crypto.

Thanks OP, for sharing your experience with us.
Sometimes, you also have to consider spending crypto because its definitely its real purpose, to act as a currency and the way we are seeing it that its better to hold them for long defeat its real purpose. I'm glad OP has made his part. But i suggest, that if we try to use crypto to purchase something, see to it that its market value is also high as we won't be regretting selling our bitcoin in low value because its conversion rate is certainly low too. However, emergency cases is exceptional. You need to spend crypto when you think you can't afford it in fiat.
2644  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto prices are starting to strengthen again on: March 05, 2022, 10:45:06 PM
After the red will definitely come out green, hopefully the price of bitcoin will continue to increase, most likely the increase in the price of bitcoin is caused by many investors turning to bitcoin, because of inflation that occurred in Ukraine, many products from Russia were boycotted by many countries, so most Russian investors switch to krypto, so now the price of bitcoin is starting to go green again..
Nothing is certain and even if it affects the market or not and you have to be patient because sooner or later the market will surely recover, indeed the news will affect the market and if you know better just let it go because everything will pass.
simply holding on or taking advantage of the downturn by making additional purchases and waiting for the market to recover in order to resell them.
The important events around the world will certainly create effects on crypto market but that would not the sole basis on how the crypto coins will move. Cryptocurrencies move inevitably with their own market cycle. So we should always think of that. If the market is in bearish right now, don't worry because its not the end yet. For sure when everything' back to normal, this market will eventually rise up again. Before we knew it, we are already almost reaching its new ATH. So keep your patience and stay positive.

Trading is usually a difficult thing to do, but anyone that has the patience and is able to learn, they would go a long way.  It is very important that we try out different strategies and know the ones that would work for us.

Even after you have gotten one strategy, it is good to know that you shouldn’t stop there, you should go ahead to learn new things and new strategies and also see how they would work, you never know what might work out best for you. And knowing how to manage risks is very important, so that you don’t end up losing too much in the market.
We all know that trading is hard from the start and the learning should always be consistent. And it takes a lot of years before you can say that experience has made you a better trader. But to think that there is best strategy in trading, i guess there's none. We only have to find those strategies that will work on us as we have different methods on how to make trading a profitable one. And once we found that, confidence will be easily built within  us as we find more comfortable to trade if we have proven strategies that will work on us.
2646  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin Family on: March 05, 2022, 09:48:51 PM
I remembered about this.
This was actually a very strong and rave decision at that time. At that time, many people really felt doubtful and also strange with their decision. Moreover, they thought that he made some dangers on his family itself. But the time flows and they could really get the big victory of this decision. Investing in Bitcoin is really worth it.
But once more, if we are not ready with all cases and also risks, better not to follow their ways o it because this may be very risky and moreover if we don't know the right time to sell and buy and get the profits.
Good that it worked for this family, but it's still too risky to be executed. As I see there is a young girl on the middle of the picture. In 2016 she was probably a toddler and refugees camps aren't exactly an appropriate place for kids to live and grow, especially on that age.

Despite this fact, I suppose now they have access to much superior life conditions, after bitcoin's bull runs of 2017 and 2021, so the risk was worthful after all and the family was nicely rewarded.

Moreover they must make some extra cash through internet videos, selling books and giving interviews.
This family has definitely experienced more of hardships and big adjustments before. So i can say that all their sacrifices have paid off since we all know they are living in luxury right now. But there is more to that. This great family has also good time to share their blessings by making some charities. That makes them more of an ideal family. However, this luck does not happen to everyone. Others may end up losing all they have if things won't work out. So always think of its long term effects before you start taking the risk.
2647  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I am doomed on trading on: March 04, 2022, 09:11:19 PM
After purchasing my first coin on binance. I had over $400 worth of Bitcoin. Been a single mother of one promising child I decided to trade my coin so as to afford to feed my family without touching the $400 I have been able to save over the years. Everything went smooth not until I decided to place a buy order. I have never traded before this happens to be my first experience and it turned against me. How do I cope with this and how do I feed my son?

I haven't spent enough time with binance app. I was trying to study the app when I came across the trading aspect of binance app and been so desperate to start earning so I can feed my son I had to take the risk. Currently I am doomed and I don't have a job to fall back to. I do I explain to my baby I have lost our hope of survival.

I wish I can upload my binance screenshot on the forum for proof currently I'm helpless and I need full assistance at this point. I am sorry if I am not supposed to post this on this forum. But I just have to device an alternate means to cover up my lapses before things get out of hands and beyond what I can afford to control. I wish I can get help or suggestions on how to go about this considering the fact I have gone hopeless
@op, it's been a long time you made this thread and I know you must have moved on, and seeing that you are now wearing 1xbit signature shows that you later found another means of livelihood, (though incase you don't know, 1xbit is a known scam casino on this forum and I believe the negative trust you received are based on you promoting them), that aside cus that's no the reason I decided to reply you.

If probably you still visit here, then I did like to let you know you didnt say what actually happened which lead to the loss of your fund I believe, stating this would have helped many of us here, most especially the newbies, to learn and avoid making the same mistake(s) any day they find themselves trading in binance or any other crypto exchange, this would have been the first part of your post, before going ahead to ask for whatever kind of assistance you want to ask, even though asking for assistance in this manner isn't permitted on this forum.
OP has not been very clear why she had lose that time. But one thing is certain, she started trading even if she has no experience with it which is very wrong. She should not expect to gain profits if she is not sure what she is doing, that leads why she lose her money. For all newbies, i guess we should not just jump to trading if we don't have the knowledge and skills on it. Trading is very risky, one wrong move can lead losing all your capital. So maybe by now, you have learned a lesson from you first trade and i guess you're doing great already in what made you busy right now.

Here is the statement from the 4 governing bodies of boxing:

Quote
The four governing organizations responsible for overseeing boxing title matchups around the world -- the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO -- announced in a joint statement that they won't sanction any such bouts in Russia because of the invasion of Ukraine.

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/33381629/boxing-governing-organizations-sanction-title-bouts-russia-due-invasion-ukraine

So it clearly states that any fight in Russia will be sanction. It didn't mention about Russian fighters not able to fight outside of Russia. So I think this is still a go fight in May 7.

I hope there's no hindrance to this big fight, we are just speculating now but you have a point and I agree with you. The fight will not take place in Russia, it will be outside the country so the fight has to be realized. We have been waiting for this patiently and we don't want to be disappointed anymore.
2649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 04, 2022, 01:00:54 PM
^^ I think he also adjusted, he try to go back to his bread and butter, that is to go to the inside. But there are times that there are no bounce on his feet, so the young guys can follow and block his shot. And he often uses his left which is not his strong suit. I guess it boils down to that chemistry issue, and for me as much as we want him to stay as a Lakers, WB should go somewhere else.
It's just sad to see that there's so much hype on Westbrook when he joined the Lakers but his production is not what we are expecting. I don't know his future but I think he will be better if he will be in a team that no other superstar except him.
Yeah, maybe it was just a total mismatch with the team, or he is really no longer on his prime years. Last year he was injured with he was still in the Wizards uniform, but since there is no superstar there, except Beal, he prosper. But with the Lakers line up, it's hard for him to do what he wanted to do because he is no longer the alpha and so his game goes down. Now, they have lost against their domestic rivals by a big margin again.
Kobe and Lebron are the same, they make their teammates look bad and Westbrook was probably the victim on that. I know that he wasn't playing well with the Rockets uniform that's why he was traded again, but Lakers team is probably  Westbrook's worst team in his NBA career, ,he should not stay here.

#TRADE WESTBROOK.

Don't worry, time will come that he will be traded, there's no reason for the Lakers to keep him when they are not winning, the management will surely make a decision to get rid of some of the superstars probably Lebron is one of them or maybe Davis will be traded too. This season is not over yet, they still have a chance but like what most of us see, I also see that their chance is very slim.
2650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 03, 2022, 09:57:08 PM
Unfortunately, he doesn't get any help from his teammates. I mean there is a help obviously but not enough for them to get the W in every game.

I can still remember the time where its like Lebron Vs. opponent during the playoffs when he is in the Cavaliers until they got swept by the Warriors in the NBA Finals. Now he can't do it anymore because like you said he is aging already. Well just seeing his age and his performance this season and you will see that he is still playing quite impressive but not enough to carry the team. He really needs more help from other teammates. The problem with the team is the roster. He got old players like him instead of younger and talented players and the 2 superstars that supposedly help the team to win a ring? Its not happening.

There is a high chance that Lebron will leave the team and might go to a team where it has at least one superstar until Bronny isn't playing in the NBA.

This would not be the case if there was a basketball player on the team who could truly support him. But as you said, the team is very old, all of them are experienced players and they can't play fast enough. If there were 2 young and talented players with him, LeBron could still have a performance that could make the team champion. But when everything about the match is above him, he cannot play adequately for the team Sad

It's not the fault of the players, I think it's Lebron James fault for creating a super team without considering that they might sacrifice their 2nd unit. Now, the Lakers are just like the teams at the bottom of standing, they are struggling to get a W and would just be frustrated their expectation did not come into reality this season.

On the latest championship odds, Lakers is not anymore listed.

I think my bet for tonight would be on [b
Miami Heat ML[/b] vs Brooklyn Nets, The Nets would be having KD back for tonights game but I don't think he'll be playing for a long minutes or aggressively after missing out for quite a while, the line is currently at +1.5 for the Heat but I'll be taking the ML @ 2.02 on Sportsbet.
The odds seem reasonable for the Nets, thanks for bringing the news, but I agree with you, it's his first game so he would not play his usual minutes and there might be some rust on the first game and Miami Heat could take advantage of that. I'm riding on the same boat.
2652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 28, 2022, 09:35:45 PM
Harden definitely does bring a lot to the table. I am not saying that they are already champions or anything like that, obviously they will need to play a lot more games to see if it will go on like this.

Harden is known MVP and diva, Embiid is the best player in that team, right now Harden loves passing and sharing and being happy with his teammate, but when people start to see Embiid as the reason for championship possibility and leave Harden aside, that is going to be different.

If Harden could reel in his ego, then we are going to see this team win a championship either this year or next year. They are certainly one of the best in the league.

We are seeing a great start of the Sixers, isn't it good enough to think that this team really has a chance to be the NBA champion this season? Harden is no doubt in his MVP level, what the Sixers need currently is to maintain or improve their chemistry, and it seems to me that the current team is better than the previous, so I'm hopeful that they'll succeed this season, nice trade by the way.

They did get a little bit better but I think losing Seth and his 3 poit shooting kills some of the spread they had going for them.  I mean they struggled against the Knicks and took a big 4th to pull away.  Still not convinced this is gonna work out for them.

You have a point but right now I would keep my criticism about them since they are still winning games, maybe when they begin to struggle that's the time I will state my observation about their weakness, hopefully, that time will not come as Harden seems to enjoy on his new team, no rival on his position and he can do anything he wants.
2653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING]: RYAN GARCIA vs EMMANUEL TAGOE - April 9 on: February 28, 2022, 08:46:35 PM

It is is all under Garcia's camp because he's under the Golden Boy Promotions, but what I meant is that Garcia himself picked Tagoe and not Oscar De La Hoya because that's the work of the promoter to find a match that could be good for his boxers. Garcia have won his recent match against Campbell but he also got ugly because of that fight that's why they need someone to make his name fresh again.
Garcia was tough in his previous fight, though we witnessed how he got knock down but he was strong enough to come back and beat Campbell. For me, I believe that Garcia learned a lot from that experience that's why I expect him to be more careful in his next fight.

But Tagoe is still a mystery for me.
Don't worry about that, Garcia will solve that mystery for you. Smiley
He was really tested by Campbell, although the majority of the rounds was his, he was not careful and just walking straight to Campbell and that's when he was hit. The good thing is that Ryan has a good chin and his recuperation time is very high.

Tagoe is a mystery because we haven't seen him fight before, but since he will be in the limelight against Garcia we will see if he has what it takes to upset Ryan or not.

I strongly agree, Garcia's capabilities was really tested by Campbell, he let his guard down while he was controlled by his emotion because Campbell managed to take him down first that is why he was eager to knock out Campbell. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed but Garcia have won the match via TKO but that match have ruined is career that's why he needed this win before he will face Kambosos Jr.

Yes, it was a scary moment for Garcia bettors, at the same time, those who have Campbell might be jumping for joy when they saw their boy knock down Garcia. But Ryan recovered and won over Campbell. Not sure if he can get Kambobos though. George is eager to defend his belt this year and he has sight on two opponents already, Loma (who doesn't have any belt but it's a money fight), and Devin Haney (who has the belt and I would say weakest champion in this division).


Garcia has some weakness, as I've seen it's his defense but this guy has strong stamina, he was able to get up as if nothing happened and it only makes him more aggressive to eventually beat his opponent. Campbell compared to Tagoe, I think the latter is not the better fighter, so it should not be hard for Garcia to win on his comeback fight.

In the current situation Ukraine government is asking for donations in cryptocurrency to support Ukraine. Their citizens are also depositing their money to crypto for easy usage in the current situation.

Not sure if citizens are depositing their wealth to bitcoin, I'm not seeing any data yet,.

In this situation do you not think USA has to support crypto?

The FED decision should be in the given in a way that it do not put negative effects on crypto.

Regardless of which country are going to support Bitcoin, you don't need to worry about it. USA is one of the strongest country in the world no doubt about it. But even if they don't accept crypto, the market will still thrive in the future.
Cryptocurrency exchanges are already legal in USA, but cryptos are not accepted there as a legal tender. So OP, USA is already supporting crypto and they are even looking forward to regulate it. I think so far, crypto donations from all over the world has reached already $13 million and this will be intended to help Ukraine armed forces, and the rest will cover for the food and shelter of the Ukraine citizens.

I don't trust the information that coming from his mouth, he said before that last 2021 he will fight Inoue but it did not happen, so maybe he is just trying to make some hype, making an announcement even if it's not yet official. Casimero is desperate to have a big fight, hopefully, Inoue accept the challenge in a unification match.

Not taking away anything from Doncic and the Mavs but it was really odd to see GSW score only 13 points in the fourth quarter. They didn't have their best offensive line up during that game but still not expecting a poor output.

Anyway, it's good Kerr still taking something positive from the meltdown:
Quote
I think it's actually good to go through and feel it because this is what it feels like in the playoffs,'' coach Steve Kerr said. ''This is what it feels like when you're playing a really good team, the game's never over.
^ Good point.

But playoffs are different though, remember that in the last playoffs, the Mavericks blew a 3-1 lead to the Clippers, that's their weakness and hopefully, with the new lineup and KP being out of the team, they'll be better and they'll improve their defense.

On the other hand though, its quite shameful to the team if they will lose to the Blackwater team so I guess the streak continues Cheesy.

I think losing is just normal, and eventually, Blackwater will win because they are so desperate for a win, they will work every game to improve their chances of winning. I don't know when the streak will be over but I know them being winless will not be forever.

Northport vs Blackwater, the hottest team vs the coldest team in the PBA.  Smiley
2659  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance donates $10 million to support Ukraine on: February 27, 2022, 09:41:08 PM
It's a good example but again the fund is central and people can't check how the donation money is used, I was expecting a multi-signature address but what is done is the database management by binance.charity/
It's great that Binance have donated $10 million, but I don't understand why they are asking people to donate to them. Why would I hand my personal details over to Binance and give them details of where my donation is coming from, for them to no doubt use some of it to cover their administrative costs, before then passing it on to organizations operating in Ukraine with no oversight, when I could just donate to the organizations I want to donate to directly? Even the Ukrainian government have their own crypto donation addresses. Is the whole thing not just set up so Binance can say "Look how great and charitable we are" when in reality it would be better for people to just bypass them and donate directly?
Maybe its also a win win scenario though, they got to donate to Ukraine but they also have to announce it to the media how great and trustworthy they are.  But since the Ukraine government itself has its own crypto address, then you can donate directly to them. But i have read those fun raising projects for Ukraine, actually Binance should also be credited for that for being so humanitarian.

2660  Economy / Economics / Re: War requires three things on: February 27, 2022, 09:19:13 PM
I can understand to the money, money, money comment. Wars are extremely expensive, not only in direct cost of sustaining the war effort, but also to secondary costs in keep the economy going and making plans to obtain resources needed for the economy, that becomes more difficult to obtain, on both sides of the war. If this becomes a prolonged war, Russia will feel the financial impact and Europe will feel the increase in cost of alternative energy sources. It may just be in the end a decision between who can last the longest between potentially hunger and starvation on the one hand for Russia and high energy cost on the other hand for Europe.
Money money money, that sounds like a lot of money they need there to start a war but it's true because of the high-powered vehicles and the pay for the soldiers are also expensive because their own lives are at risk here. Resources are now difficult to obtain because the connection to other countries is now closed or blocked due to penalties and even if they still have the money, they will still have a hard time getting the resources.

Russia is lucky despite of the hate of most countries to them, they are still friends with china and they can still get resources from this country. I don't think they will prolong this war when they know that it can cause them a problem in terms of finances.
But Putin has no plans to stop the war. Once he started it, its hard for him to stop. I guess those sanctions made by US for Russia may not be relevant at all as Russia has China that will backed it up. But i agree on the idea that Putin has more interest than money, he aims to prove that Russia should always be the most powerful country and that all its alliance should always submit to its will. And Ukraine should never go against it.
