2721  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the meme coin still worth holding on: November 21, 2021, 10:35:45 PM
I hope we have the reason to hold them and I hope that we are holding the right coins but seem to know that meme coins aren't good enough to risk long and hold long. I know that not all are bad and worthless coins in general coz there are still some that performing so well. However, if we don't make any searches and choose the wrong coins, I don't think so but rather have nothing to expect from them.
People got amazed at Dogecoin in the past few day's performances and now, Shiba Inu is on the spike. If this is your basis why do you have a plan to hold them, that was your choice, because for me, as long as it has a working product and market use that is fine.

Lets forget first the Terrence Romeo rumors and lets see some other news that are related to Basketball

Shabazz Mohammad, the import of Meralco has been replaced by Tony Bishop. Mohammad is replaced due to a personal emergency.
- Base on One Sports Facebook Page, Bishop is the leading scorer of the Panama National Team in 2017 Fiba AmeriCup. Making a quick Google search and you will find that the National team ranks 48 overall so they are at the middle of the rankings. He is the top 2 leading scorer of the team with 16 PPG and the top rebounder with 9 RPG so I'm expecting that this averages will be higher coming into the PBA although I want to see Shabazz playing in the league. Its just very exciting to see an NBA player playing into our league but.. things like this are happening.

Anyway, any announcements into when the Governor's Cup will begin? Maybe I'm not updated Cheesy
That’s a strong record to begin with and lucky for Meralco to have that kind of Import though in terms of ranking we are still ahead of Panama fiba ranking which I can say that our basketball system are better compare to them. Well, this is not an individual performance though and Meralco have to work as a team here. No final announcement yet, hopefully early next year.

He might have a good record but I would still think that an import that has experience playing in the NBA is better since NBA would not draft a player without passing all the qualifications needed. Let's see if this replacement is good, the conference will probably start soon, so hopefully, all imports will arrive so they can start training with their respective team.
2723  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: November 21, 2021, 08:41:22 PM
Gaballo is also a Filipino and yet it's okay for us to see they'll fight, the only hindrance why Casimero will not fight Donaire is because they are on the same promotion, but for the sake of greatness, one should fight anyone even if they are on the same race just to be an undisputed champion. If Donaire won against Inoue in a rematch, I'm sure he will aim to be an undisputed champion so he can retire with a great record.
Personally I do not see anything wrong with fighting another boxer from the same country, after all boxing is really popular at Philippines and before they could fight with opponents from other countries they had to fight their own countrymen, however the fact they are part of the same promotion agency is a problem but one that they will have to get over if both of those fighters want to become the best on their division.
There's nothing wrong with that as it's a sport and entertainment, and in the case of the Gaballo vs Donaire fight, Gaballo is a mandatory challenger and Donaire has no option but to face him, also, Gaballo even said that Donaire is his idol but also wants to fight him and beat him. So you see, nothing is personal, it's just pure business.
2724  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin makes new ATH. More ATHs to come shortly. on: November 21, 2021, 02:23:39 PM

We are at least trying to break into the $60k region again. As you know, the price dip to as low as $55k and now it seems that we are regaining some ground, but this could be a bull trap as well. Nevertheless, personally I think we are still in the bull run and $70k is a conservative price to reach this year.
It can't be clear but that seems possible since the support level is up unlike in the previous days. I think that we even surpass $70k if this continues.
I guess we are still making the new ATH high this year before we jump 2022. This year is kinda making good history in the crypto market. Quite obvious to see that the market is keeping healthy all throughout this year even we still have 1 month left, I know we are still on the bullish side rather than seeing it in red.
2725  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't ever quit your job to trade crypto. on: November 21, 2021, 01:44:13 PM
Quitting a good career job for trading like crypto, forex and equity is the worst thing one can do. Why Quitting a job when you can do crypto trading as side business. Moreover this current bull run won't last forever rather bears will take over soon and that season may last for months. How can you survive the bearish season if you don't have a suitable job? Think and act wisely.
If we can do both, I don't think that someone will think about quitting but rather keep them. But for those who found themselves living well solely in that trading and get satisfied with the result, that probably think tp leave their current job and focus on trading. Not that actually a tough decision to make, all of us have the choice and that is worse living in a toxic job if we feel that we are not comfortable anymore. For many reasons that it brings to that situation and you are right, think it wisely.
2726  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's Recent Drop Below $60K Is Not Worrisome, Analyst Says on: November 20, 2021, 10:57:13 PM
No worrisome for long-term investors even if the price drops below 50K. If you can be a long-term investor and you believe to see bitcoin price even above 500K, no worries if the price drops from 69K to 50K. Otherwise, even a one percent price fall can make you worry.
You do know that for the fact you believe in something, that doesn’t mean it is going to happen, right? If you believe that bitcoin will reach $2 million next year, that doesn’t mean it would happen. You’re simply just hoping that it would get to that level, but that doesn’t mean it would reach to that level, but it still might. So that’s why it’s good to be calculative enough and make the right decisions, when you’re investing in bitcoin.

It would not be bad  to take profit when the market is good. You have to make sure that when the market is bad, you have at least gotten something from it that would make you not to worry too much about it.
To sell some of them in order to secure your funds is ideally a wise decision. Not just because we are worried for the worse, yet it was possible, but have this gives us the way that we can still invest as our funds are intact. Those who hold their Bitcoin, that was their choice either, they are in long-term and they will hold no matter what it happens. However, to miss the opportunity of selling them at a better price and getting some profit will never be back again.
2727  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What about the new alts? on: November 20, 2021, 09:28:32 PM
What coins do you think are promising? I think there will soon be a good opportunity to buy alts in the long term, so I am starting to consider options for purchases. Interested in mina, cdt and sand. What do you think of these coins? And what coins do you think are promising?
Honestly, we could just think that this coin will pump, will get in the hype, and give us a huge profit but nothing to get assurance from it for we never know what will happen in the coming days. It is just absolute market speculation and never has to expect that much. For me, it was a win and lose investment for the new projects. Knowing that majority of these projects are useless, therefore, it was really hard to give trust and get confidence after choosing them.
But have the tip: choose those coins that are very hot on social media as they create mostly hype.
2728  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it safe to buy now? on: November 20, 2021, 08:38:47 PM
The logic for investment is buying low and selling high and currently Bitcoin has a new ATHs is it safe to encourage new investor to buy now seeing how high the price has gone? My fear for new investors is that the don't experience a dip after buying since no one is sure of how far the new highs will reach.
Yeah, I agree with but it was important as well to have a good choice of coins to invest, not just because of its price as our basis.
Perhaps, a lot of people have that kind of mistake (I admit myself of doing that before until I learn something) that is why instead of making a profit after, losses are what they've got.
To ask if it is safe to buy? That certainly depends on us coz the truth is that SAFE is something that relies on us individually.

2730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lomachenko vs Commey - December 11 on: November 20, 2021, 01:19:02 PM
This is why I think it is going to be difficult to see that fight, I really do not think that Lopez is tying to avoid Lomachenko, we know that fighters say a lot of things to try to hype up the fight but as soon as it is over they give each other a hug and then they give praise to their opponent on the post-fight interviews.

However it seems to me the problems of Lopez and Lomachenko are real and this means Lopez will do everything he can to not give Lomachenko a chance at challenging him for his titles.

Lopez's only chance of avoiding a rematch is to move to a different weight class. If he does not do this, then sooner or later he will be forced to enter this fight or give up the belt. In addition, such avoidance of a strong opponent is always bad for a boxer's reputation, and should not be abused.

He needs to take care of Kambasos first, he should not underestimate his opponent now because Kambasos has not experienced a loss in his career yet. Most likely if Lopez will win, he will move up in weight as he does not want to give Loma a chance for a rematch, he already stated that in the past.
2731  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to avoid all scams? on: November 19, 2021, 11:33:39 PM
Do you think it is possible to completely get rid of scams?
That word completely get rid seems impossible knowing the situation that not all are aware of this or even they are but they still fall into scam tricks because of greediness.

Quote

What do you think, is it possible to somehow get rid of scams among crypto projects?

it is personal, we can't touch others' life and help them to avoid investing in scams because, in the first place, they know what they are doing but never helped themselves. We can't rid these things out of crypto and in fact, it sometimes happens that even promising projects will turn into scam (exit scam trick). They will still exist no matter what we do and that is why we should be careful and do searches first before investing.
2732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: November 19, 2021, 02:07:24 PM

Put him on a different team and he might dominate again. What I think is wrong is that, the system of Coach Tim Cone isn't working for CStand for some reasons that is why he isn't as dominate as he was a few years ago.
C. Stand is not also impressive during his stay with the North Port, so I can really say that he is not what we are expecting him to be. He played with SMB, I guess that's where his numbers were up but later he was traded for Tautua, so I don't understand why a good player is traded from time to time.
Hmmmm didn't he played very well when he is in NorthPort??

I mean when he joined NP, the team is just one of the few teams that are in the 8th seed that defeated a top seeded team and he has a huge contribute to that. If I remember correctly, he averaged double double that conference as well. Trading him from SMB to NP would be better for him because he can't use his skills that much in SMB since he is just a 2nd unit and they are focusing on Fajardo. They know as well that CStand has a huge potential that is why they traded him. Well, at least that is what I know.
I am not sure if he played well with NP, maybe I missed some of his games because North Port is not exciting to watch. I like the NP when Romeo and Pingle were the star players of the team, but when they left, I already lost interest in the team. Also, if C. Stand was doing good in NP then NP should have kept him, so I think they were not satisfied with his impact on the team.
2733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slot forecast on: November 19, 2021, 01:39:39 PM
Slot is one of the most preferred gaming game in most casino houses and online gambling platforms but one of it major defector is the fact that players can not give an accurate forecast of the outcome of the game and how the probably fair system works in favor of the house. Apart from dice that it outcome can easily be predicted slot on the other hand is unpredictable.
It's because just as dice, it's a game of luck. Coming from the word itself, forecast, you're just giving possible results but they're not accurate at all.
As result, as you've said it is unpredictable so the house is always having a high chance of winning. There are gamblers that are lucky with this game but in most of the time, it's all about the house.
Slot is a basically luck game but in most casino house the house edge is always high and that result in player's always losing to the house because the slot machine are set to favor the house. I will prefer to play dice instead as it outcome is more predictable.

This online slot are hard to cheat, so no one can use his skills here to win.

I saw some video on the real slot that there are people who are consistently winning, but they don't win in an honest way, they won through cheating.
You might want to check the video. == https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts70LHeJXU4&t=2002s== Just check the other episodes if there is, I watch it already last year, I feel I like to share it here.
2734  Economy / Speculation / Re: will we witness year end bullrun or bull trap? on: November 19, 2021, 12:13:05 AM
If we were following main markets they are predicting upto 10% off in the end this year.    We already had great gains, it doesnt continue forever without people profit taking; why because half the money is gambled with leveraged or borrowed cash.   Holidays especially prompt people to step away and close out the trades, we can rise over xmas but imo it requires the sell before that occurs first.
Well I don't think holders the same thinking of profit-taking though you are right that there is no continued rise forever of the crypto price I am confident that there is no time yet for dropping the bitcoin price. We have had a lot of great news recently that makes bitcoin price becomes healthy and rapid growth and perhaps it will continue even until next year. I will consider that this was a bull run, not a hype, and not a bull trap. Though the price is unpredictable you can feel that there is no sign of having a bad market.
We can have that kind of optimism and belief because we trusted the market so well. And we have also witnessed the spike of market demand and adoption that could certainly uplift prices and keep on high. The next stop for Bitcoin will be $80k, I speculated this to happen this year.
But can't hold the market to show crashes just like now, we turn back red once again. However, I can be hopeful that this will end up shortly and rise back stronger to make bullish again until next month.

Cavs seems to have a fighting chance against the Nets or is it just the Nets are having another bad day?
That third quarter was when the Cavs almost got near the lead and I saw Harden being really bad at his position as point.
You can see obvious dimes that was always intercepted by the guy defending him. I think Coach Nash should change some of his strategies.
Harden should not always handle the ball whenever he is on the floor. Mix it up to lessen the turnovers. Make him shoot more.


If they only have Irving playing, Harden does not need to carry the ball.

Harden was effective in handling the ball but since he cannot anymore fish a lot of fouls, his production has already been affected.
What's important in that game is that the Nets won, they have some struggle within the game but they still finish it strong, and by the way, don't forget that the Cavaliers is also a decent team this season.

If they only have Irving, but the Nets have managed to win games without him already.

Harden is still effective though, he can still go shoot for 3's. And if he really wanted to go to the free throws, all he has to do is penetrate.

I do agree though, Cavaliers is very different team this season, and even without Kevin Love, they've always fought very hard and win close games.

They are much better with Irving, he is very consistent and since they already build chemistry, it will be easier for them to win.

There are no rumors yet as to when Irving will return but I hope he keeps practicing with his teams so if unvaccinated players are already allowed, he can play right away because he is already fit. sometimes I think it's good that Irving will rest as the Nets will need him very much to be healthy in the playoffs.

In fact, it was just a small correction, we've been in almost 50% market price deduction before. Those who trust that Bitcoin will be long-term, this can't be worrisome but those doubtful individuals will possibly think negatively and start to put a sell option.
Dumps, market correction...everything will happen in crypto. Volatility hasn't to deal hard because whether we like it or not, it surely comes and we have to adopt such changes or else, this becomes a reason on your losses.
2738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 17, 2021, 10:56:01 AM
Didn't expect a blowout win for GSW, Curry showed his superiority against the best team in the East, he made 9/14 from beyond the arc and that's very impressive, there's should be no debate on who is the greatest shooter now, Curry is just on a different level this season.

Better luck next time Nets, bounce back if you ever meet again this season.
Not even a fighting chance. I thought it was going to be a close game because Durant can answer Curry's madness in the 3 point line if ever he will.
But my expectation was not met and KD had a bad game 6/19 FG and 2/6 outside shots. That's a bad off night game for him.
Although, it's not just the difference between the 2 team. It's also the plays made by the Warriors that is difficult to stop.  
A well written play from the old playbook of Steve Kerr but Steve Nash seems to have a hard time stopping it. Congratulations to the Warriors team.
He has a horrendous shooting night, but we should give credit to the defense of Golden State. They really scout him and the play that Nash has for him, so they are ready to trap him as far as the three point area. So it's either he gave up the ball, or has an unforced error, or shot the ball badly.

So for now, we could say that Steve Kerr has Nash's number, and the GSW really perform very well in this game as it wanting to proved that their lost was just a fluke against the Hornets.

Not only coach Nash, Kerr also knows Durant very well as he coach him before so he was able to do the right strategy to limit him. This is their first encounter but most likely Nets will not struggle next time as they already saw the play design against them and they'll certainly make an adjustment to beat the Warriors.

Absolutely, despite the negative words that we've been heard from the people around we are also getting back the benefits that they never have. And it is all about building ourselves to become a better person internally and having a positive mindset.
I'd found myself now being a patient and risk-taking personality which I had never seen before. Too many changes have been made and I could be proud of it.

How I wish that it needs someone to confirm that he use Dogecoin to buy a Tesla car but too unfortunate that there is none. Even the use of Bitcoin and ETH can't find anyone.
Well, if that is really true, then that was good. I know and I believe that someday the use of crypto to buy stuff is fully accepted and one's must have to take an action first as the others will follow next. I hope this was a real market deal and Tesla will continue to accept crypto not just Dogecoin as first stated by the owner.
