@LogitechMouse, at least we see now how effective Giannis is, Bucks are slowly figuring out how to win although they loss in game 2, more adjustment and they'll eventually get their first win, and I believe the best timing is in game 3.

Torrey Craig might not return in game 3 as he was injured when Giannis has in turbo going to the rim.

Call this another advantage for the Bucks.

People short btc because the bullish power still weak, they short it and buy the spot on the cheaper price.
Not everyone is shorting bitcoin. It's better to hold it if there's no signal about its bullishness, this is still not a good time to short if you know that it can eventually go back from that ATH later.
No one knows for sure, but the current situation suggests that we will see more bearish movement than a bullish one.
ATH will only come when there's a bull run and it seems like the bull run is already over, so we have to move one and make a new strategy to handle the bearish market.

Its will repeat until many whales feels full and ready to pump the BTC.
The rise is going to be a natural increase for bitcoin.

Unfortunately  I haven't seen a natural increase yet, the increase are more driven by hype or FOMO.

Looks like game 2 will be different from game 1.

Despite the dominance the Suns have shown in game 1, this line movement now is very suspicious for me.
Suns are now only -4.5. I guess more money will flow for the Suns with this line, however, this looks like a trap for me.
Your thoughts on this guys.
2724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 08, 2021, 01:54:21 PM
I have to agree that Manny fight will gain so much exposure and can attract voters but still, I believe in faith that our next president will be different and make the Philippines great again. This fight will go to Manny, as this is part of his campaign.

He doesn't need more exposure, he is already popular, this fight will only give him more budget for the election but in terms of popularity, everyone knows him already.

I totally agree with that, even the minors know Manny Pacquiao, that's how popular he is.

He fought to be recognized more worldwide, and we have to remember also that there's big money involved.
A $10 million which could be the minimum amount he can make here is equivalent to half a billion-peso already, and that's enough to use for his campaign.

No backing down for  Pacquiao, he will continue to fight big names in boxing, and he will also continue to run for Presidency.

Kendrick Perkins believes that CP3's journey to NBA Finals is amazing, he didn't hack the system by joining a super team like other star players. So if we win this NBA Finals, this would be a great achievement for him.

About game 1, I think that's great, I mean the Suns won the game but it's still game 1, the bucks will surely adjust and come back, I like to believe that this season will be a long one.
If that is the case for CP3 and how he "deserves" to win a ring, then we can say that Giannis deserves it the same way as well.

If giannis joined a super team he would have won a ring very very easily, but he didn't and he stayed with the team that drafted him all these years and he is trying to get a ring with them, there is no super team around him, the next best player is Kris Middleton and third is Jrue Holiday, just because they made it to finals do not tell me they are star players because they are not and I wouldn't put them in my top 20 of the league in any day, probably Jrue would be even out of top 50 if I can push the limit (although he deserves to be top 50 to be fair) so it is not really that fair to say that CP3 didn't join any super team so he should be win and his win will worth more, same can go for Giannis as well. In the end both teams do deserve it and let the best one win is my approach.

Yeah, both superstars really deserve to win, but CP3 is just more popular now due to his performance in the WCF, which on the other hand, Giannis was absent in two games that they won. However, it's still too early to tell that the Suns would win, the Bucks still has an opportunity to bounce back and make this series more exciting.
2726  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will China's crackdown on Bitcoin cause Bitcoin to become worthless? on: July 08, 2021, 12:50:24 PM
As we all know, in the cryptocurrency market, Chinese account for a large portion. So what impact will the Chinese government's total blockade of Bitcoin have on the cryptocurrency market? The sharp drop in the price of Bitcoin is the result we have seen, so after this blow, can the price of Bitcoin return to its peak, or will it fail? What do you think? I am confused now, hope someone can answer it for me.
While china is still hot on this issue of banning bitcoin in their country , The Miners and investors now are looking for another place to be safe haven , meaning for a while the growth are paused (As we can see) but for sure there will be upcoming growth but of course not happening very soon.

also there are seemingly speculative that we will be having another ATH in the Next halving as the Bull had already Gone and we are in status quo market now.

They will surely do that as there's no stability and security if they will just operate in China, maybe in the future if the government stance on crypto and bitcoin will chance, but until that happen, they'll have to find a place where they can operate again because if they will just stop, they'll lose a lot of money as we know how much capital is need to run a big mining rig business.

Indeed it is. First time I saw players still fighting even if they knew it was already a lost game.
I think they took the stars out with just 30 seconds on the clock even though the lead is as high as 13.
Playoffs should be like that too but no it didn't happen. Lead is 10+ with 1 minute they garbage it and sit their stars to avoid injuries.
This is undoubtedly the Finals, fight back until the buzzer almost sounds. Good game, I wish the Bucks do have an answer for that even in the Suns' homecourt.

Game 2 would be different, if we like to back the Bucks, we should do that in game 2 and then bet on them in game 3 if they lose. I don't see this series to be another 4-0 win by the Suns, this should reach at least 6 games, and if goes in game 7, well, I should cheer for the Bucks to win.

Regardless of the performance of Giannis, I'm happy that he is back and healthy.

Bucks will bounce back in game 2, it should be a close game.  Smiley
2728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 07, 2021, 11:00:35 AM
Bucks gives a lot of free throws to Suns which Suns fully utilized and convert to a score. They are both almost equal in terms of Field Goal. I believe this is already a Suns game, They should address how to deal with Paul and Booker in the next game or they will suffer just like all the teams Suns beat on western conference.
The win came from that mostly. 25/26 FT. It's just Jae Crowder who made a stain of that missed free throw end game. It could've been a perfect stat.
DeAndre Ayon. This guy took real good care of the painted area. 22 points and 19 freaking boards which is awesome when you are up against Giannis, Lopez, or even Portis. CP3 with the same performance as Game 6 at Clippers or better.
Let's see how the Bucks will react at Game 2.

Ayton surprised again. He’s playing like an MVP candidate this postseason. I can’t believe the Suns are looking like they might win it all. I wouldn’t have guessed that at the beginning of the year. Phoenix better keep Ayton under contract at any cost going forward. That guy is going to have a massive breakout season next year and be an all star. If he keeps getting better the Suns could be scary good.

I myself have underestimated them at the start of the post season. I though they were just lucky they get passed the Lakers in the first round because Davis struggle to play throughout that series. But they proved me wrong. Ayton, Booker, CP3, and the rest of the Suns seems like in a perfect sync this post season.
Even If they can't win the Finals this year, I believe they'll still be intact next season as they are a power house team in the West.


Kendrick Perkins believes that CP3's journey to NBA Finals is amazing, he didn't hack the system by joining a super team like other star players. So if we win this NBA Finals, this would be a great achievement for him.

So now that he is back on training, I'm sure there will be more media coverage, local and international that will follow his every move and me might potentially see how good he is or what shape he will be going into the fight.

We will never know what's inside in him, he may look condition physically but deep inside he might be facing the struggle because his problem in politics is more mental and emotional, and if you have a big problem in that area, you'll certainly lose your focus.
2730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a gambler? on: July 06, 2021, 12:12:35 PM
Being in a signature campaign makes you more interested to participate in the forum discussion, but as a gambler, you will be able to still gamble even if you are not part of the signature campaign. Most of my earning will just go in gambling, so I would say I am a gambler and I uses my privilege to earn a little money that I could use in gambling.
2731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: July 06, 2021, 11:55:20 AM
Sorry for your story man, gambling is not a guaranteed profitable activity, it is only an entertainment area !! I advise you to stay away from gambling activities and try to find work. Make a plan for your life again. Don't think about getting more loans, but try to count on yourself and work hard.
That's true it is really hard to earn money from gambling, a lot of people says that it has a 50% win rate percentage but for me you can only have 10% win rate, I never earn money from gambling so I have already done with it, gambling is only an entertainment purpose so the best thing for you to do is to focus on doing other things to make you money and stop relying your earnings in gambling because you will end up empty on it.
Many people realize that gambling is not a place to make money because they already lose their money to playing gambling. The chance for every people to lose will be different but losing the money will be the same. It is better to use the money from the loan to create a business because you will have a chance to make money from that but you need to pay the borrows money. Being a responsible gambler needs more effort and I am sure that we can do that, although it is not easy to start.

Some just learned the hard way, while some are really responsible enough  to understand the risk in gambling, they also understand their real chance of winning so they will not try to be ambitious to consider gambling as a source of income, instead they'll consider it as a way to entertain themselves.
2732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 05, 2021, 09:37:23 PM
With an injured Gianni who leads his team on offense and defense? I wonder if they can last until game 7 though? Sun's completely dominate all the powerhouse team on West which is stronger to incomplete Bucks.

I think you weren't able to follow how the Milwaukee Bucks adjust when Giannis got injured. His teammates' step up and their offense quite become unpredictable since there are lots of options to make an offense unlike when Giannis is there wherein his moves were predictable but it's just that hard to defend.

Going back in a much harder series against the Brooklyn Nets, you won't see Holiday, Lopez, and the others having consistently good numbers. The offense was purely on Giannis and Middleton only at most games.

I'm not really considering the absence of Giannis as a disadvantage for them.  As of now, I didn't really know who has the upper hand on the series. I will just support my bet though regardless of the team that I will pick on per game basis.

The Bucks could adjust to the most effective strategy even with Giannis on the floor, not having the star player is really a disadvantage but I'm not saying they have no chance of beating the Suns without him. May let's see what will happen in game 1, and find out if it really helps the Bucks not having Giannis in the roster.
2733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: July 05, 2021, 09:14:47 PM
So they will be cooking this Donaire-Inoue rematch? If the demand is high from boxing fans, I believe Inoue's camp will agree for this match. But in this match, Donaire will be underdog. And if he has still the strength and power, this will be a good time to unleash inside the ring as Inoue is still in his prime. Let us wait if this will ever push thru without Donaire fighting first another boxer.

No other than the top honcho of Top Rank Bob Arum is rumored to be cooking the Inoue-Donaire rematch as what he had promised to Donaire after his win against Obaali.

I think is a good move or strategy for the Donaire camp to go directly in a fight with Inoue as this also means big payday for them win or loss.

The probability of losing against Csimero is too high that if that happens this rematch would only become a dream for the Donaire camp.

Whoever it is that Inoue will face, he will still the big favorite to win as this guy is heavy-handed just like Pacman in his prime.

Casimero is also looking for a big fight and wants to fight Inoue, but he just keeps chasing him and that opportunity was not given to him. If Donaire will lose and Casimero will win against his fight with Rigo, then it's time for the fans to demand an Inoue vs Casimero as both of them will hold multiple belts and only one should become undisputed in the division.

Things can't be done instantly. If we see that the market is in decline today, the next to that will be the uprising trend, it is a life cycle in the crypto market and we've witnessed this many times. What we gonna do is to keep our faith strong and hold it if we want, you can sell as well as nobody stops us of what we have to do. But for me, I still keep my Bitcoin intact and sell my altcoins, and why? I can't hold them all, honestly, and to know that altcoins are having a slow recovery, so I converted it to BTC for safe and gains assurance.

It's always nice to understand how the market move, it cannot be pump everyday or dump everyday, there's a reason the market is called a high volatile market because we are bound to see more pump and dump in this early stage. The fact that it's also manipulated, the likelihood of seeing high volatility is very high and we should accept that and always consider it in making a decision.

Crypto market is entirely different from the stock market, some methods in the stock market is not applicable here.
2735  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I Predict $20,000 for dogecoin in 5years time on: July 02, 2021, 09:13:41 PM
Dogecoin cannot be twenty thousand dollars. This is impossible. There are many coins, if the amount of coins was small, yes, but if the doge is 20 thousand dollars, it means most people in the world are billionaires.
You are absolutely right, this price is impossible for Dogecoin and after 20 years Dogecoin will not be also at this price. The price of Dogecoin depends just on the Elon Musk tweet, if Elon Musk would not manipulate the price of Dogecoin, we have not talked anything about this coin today, and as you know this coin is just one of the shitcoins. There are a lot of crypto projects which have more potential to be the best in the future than Doge.

It depends more on the supply, if they'll reduce the supply to millions like bitcoin supply, there there's a possibility but at the current limitless supply, I doubt it will happen even if Elon would shill it everyday. Elon is done with DOGE, his shilling power is already gone, DOGE is just stagnant now, just waiting for the bomb to explode so the big dump would happen.
2736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It is not easy to make money in cryptocurrency on: July 02, 2021, 08:52:32 PM
DYOR, any field has its positives and negatives. And just doing my own research and evaluating everything, I think a lot of people might think that making $100-200 in this market is difficult, but I find it very easy, at least it's not that hard for me to make money with this market.
for some people who have good skill trading that amount was easy, and maybe in an hour its done. But for other people its very difficult and even they getting loss before get profits. Research really be the key for our successfull in any finance market, we will find which is good and bad project that should avoided to safe our money.

In a general statement, it's really true that it's not easy making money in crypto. Why? because crypto investing is a high risk, it would not belong to a high-risk investment if everything is easy. However, you are right, and I agree with you that it depends on your skills as we can see some people who really made a fortune by just trading and investing in crypto, and it's proven to be legit.

Could be, and hopefully we fans are going to see this great fight. Maybe they can do out of court settlement, I'm sure Sean Gibbons and Manny has hired an attorney already to face the lawsuit and do everything to resolved it.

Manny Pacquiao is a Senator in the Philippines, he surely is familiar with the law as his job requires him to be. Don't worry about this mess, it's just a small problem and Manny will be able to settle this problem without ruining his reputation. Also, he has a lot of lawyers that will take care of this problem.

Manny's focus now is training, that's it.

He is very focused in every fight, actually, we are the ones who are speculating so much about the lawsuit. Pacquiao is in the business for decades, he surely had face this kind of problem before and handled it successfully. Both fighters have to take care of their body, avoid getting injured or getting infected with the virus, so on the scheduled date, we will see this fight and fans would see a very entertaining fight.

It seems like a money grab to me.  Manny Pacquiao seems well past his prime and I question how much time he's been able to put aside for training.  I don't see him letting his legacy get destroyed, so maybe this is a easy fight just to use his name to get some money.  I've heard he has a history of drug addiction problems, but that could be nonsense.  You'd think a senator wouldn't be resorting to fighting people for money to buy drugs.  We can hope there is more to this than what it appears on the surface.  Either way, I won't be watching.

About him being involved in drugs, those are just rumors without a basis, he is a hero in the Philippines so people are looking up to him. This could give easy money to him, but he deserved that given his legendary status, and might be old or has past his prime but he has proven he can still fight and we all saw that on his previous fight against Thurman.

2739  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Ripple ever reach $5 ? on: July 02, 2021, 07:54:02 PM
Hi Guys!

I bought ripple at $2.50 and i am at very high losses. I wanted to know if and when it will reach $3, $4 and if my stars shine $5 ?  Please help. I am being as much patient i can but i am honestly dying from the inside looking at the prices.
if I personally believe that Ripple can reach $5 in the future, because Ripple is one of the most popular cryptocurrency and many people invest in Ripple too, so of course I believe that the price of Ripple will definitely continue to increase and reach $5, therefore I suggest you to still hold and never panic sell, because if you don't sell your Ripple then of course you haven't lost your money.

If Ripple does not have a lawsuit problem in the past bull run, then I think it will reach $5 to have a new ATH, maybe next bull run we will see that price as I think Ripple is a big project and lots of investors are just waiting for the right time. Slowly the confidence of the investors will be back and Ripple will only start to climb on top of the standing where it was previously sitting, next to ETH.
2740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: July 02, 2021, 01:33:06 PM
They have now created a nationwide awareness so skipping the fight is like throwing away a good revenue for the fight. They reached all the target audiences on the fight and I'm sure many will watch as people want to see how Nonito will react on the ring.

I'm now starting to believe that this was all to promote the fight as there's still no official announcement yet from the promoters. The issue was surely true and legit but the fight won't be likely to officially canceled.
They are making money by trash talking, I mean attracted a lot of speculators just like us here we've talked that match about this drama, and that's the main goal for them. I also don't believe that this fight will be canceled because Casimero is so sure that the fight will push through as if he done nothing. They are professionals though, this kind of action can raise doubt on your own reputation so better to avoid this.
For now, the game is off, Donaire already said that in public. So the ball is not of Casimero here, he might say that the fight will push through, but it takes two to tango. Not sure what will it takes for Donaire to accept the fight again, public apology from Casimero?
I think Casimero would not do a public apology as he believes that he did not make any mistake.
According to him, he just tells his experience with Donaire when he was still new in the US, and Donaire accused him of lying.
Now, it's the fans who are affected as we don't know who is telling the truth, but I can see that Casimero is getting sympathy from the fans.

They are professionals but sometimes if trash talking goes to extreme, it became personally like Khabib vs McGregor.
Yeah, sort of, but let's hope if it will end in war of words, they will still face in the future.
