2861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 03, 2022, 12:41:38 PM
Looks like for Casimero beating Butler is not a problem.
According to the betting odds, it looks like Casimero can make Butler's life horrible in this fight.
Look at the odds ;

Quote
Paul Butler +800
John Riel Casimero -1500
https://www.sportsbetlistings.com/boxing/john-riel-casimero-vs-paul-butler-betting-odds-and-prediction/17689/

He beat Tete, so there's no reason he can't beat Butler. The question here is, if Casimero will win, will Inoue would finally say yes to their big fight?  My guess is maybe 40% he'll accept because he is not so confident he can beat Casimero based on his actions and statements.
Casimero was underdog during that time but he proved that he is a road warrior, and no doubt he will win against Butler here. About Inoue, not sure if he is 100% ready to face Casimero but the latter is always ready to face him.

LA Lakers didn't have a very comfortable game against Minnesota Timberwolves last night but they still managed to be the winner. It was a 108-103 victory for them and Westbrook's contribution also helped them win this one. Lebron was the most scoring player as always but this time he couldn't score more than 30 points. But in this kind of situations, Lakers need an extra help from the remaining players. Westbrook and Monk were there to be helpful for it.
They would not survive against a stronger team, they are still not a good team despite they win this game and their standing this season is very poor. I like to see them winning against a stronger team, not a team that will barely qualify in the playoffs. They will be playing the Kings in their next game, let's see if they can continue their win streak.

Kings is a dangerous team just like the Wolves that they have a game. If not for their homecourt, I think they can lost that lead in the fourth quarter and collapse again.

The game will be in Staples against the Kings, but still this is not a sure win for the Lakers. Monk has been contributing lately and so is James having a NBA numbers in like in the last 5 games. But others need to step up, Russ should limit his turnovers and Anthony should shoot high percentage again for the Lakers to win against the Kings next game.

I think I'll fade that Lakers that time, Kings beat the Heat, so their chances to beat the Lakers is high IMO. I am not yet impressed with what the Lakers are showing despite winning some games lately because before this two win streak, they were in a losing streak even against a weaker teams.

2864  Economy / Speculation / Re: Elsavador President Predicting $100,000 Bitcoin price looks like another joke on: January 02, 2022, 09:35:22 PM
There's very high chance that $100,000 mark will be reached eventually, but one year is way too short term to make any decent predictions. Bitcoin market wasn't always going up, it had long periods of decline and stagnation too, we could very easily be entering another such period right now. This is why it's important to not invest more than you can afford to lose in short term. If Bukele invested too much money from the government budget and he won't be able to balance all government spending because of it, he will be in a deep trouble if the market will turn bearish.
I think Bukele is also aware on the bearish season of bitcoin as its also a part of price movement cycle so he must be thinking on how to balance his expenses before it will happen. But i can see that Bukele is definitely looking forward for what bitcoin can give in the future so if we can see the positive side of bitcoin like reaching a $100k in the future, then we will be aware on how to make good investments for bitcoin so we can make a good start in it and hope for the huge profits at the end of this year.
2865  Economy / Economics / Re: New Year - The crypto economics on: January 02, 2022, 08:51:24 PM
2021 was the best year for me because indeed in this year even though there was some controversy about fud and some negative news about bitcoin but here I can see 2 times ATH in bitcoin and this is very fun for me because I have assets there.
Of course, the new year's spirit must be new. Now I'm preparing to wade into 2022 and I hope the adoption rate continues to improve and continues towards a greener direction.
I may be selfish for wishing such a thing but nothing is happier to see our assets continue to be in good shape Cheesy Happy New Year Smiley
If you have grab all the best market opportunities in 2021, then it will not be surprising if you will end the year seeing all your investments are in good shape. And as we look forward for 2022, i think there will be a new batch for bullish and bearish season, and of course short corrections that will also bring opportunities to invest in the market.

However, we should be more open too for negative market trends this year as it will always be unstoppable. But if we know how to deal with all the incoming pressures, then we will still make decent profits at the end of the year.
2866  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can you really predict Bitcoin at this time on: January 02, 2022, 08:11:36 PM
well, in the end no one can speculate properly. basically we all speculate based on what we see today, and what information supports it. Furthermore, it all depends on the state of needs and market demand.
however, the end of 2021 with bitcoin prices above the $45k range is already very good. although many have speculated that the end of 2021 will end with bitcoin price hovering in the $60k, $70k, or even $100k range, and it didn't work out, however, hope remains this year, and maybe even bigger. however, we share the same expectation to see bitcoin price going higher.
You are right. Since we know that bitcoin has high potentials to grow more, then it will always bound to reach higher prices once the market increase its demand. And with positive news and events that will surprise us this 2022, bitcoin will certainly be positively affected too.

However, bitcoin remains to be unpredictable all the time. Every one can predict how bitcoin will be in the future but no one can predict it perfectly and correctly. We can only come up with different speculations and educated guesses that will always be possible to happen in the future, but there is no such guarantees if they will be true or not.
2867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 02, 2022, 12:33:02 PM

As we all know, PBA is again at jeopardy as the IATF shift Manila from the supposed Alert level 2 into Level 3. For reference, in Alert level 3, basketball and any indoor activities are not allowed.

As per PBA Commissioner Marcial, he will talk to IATF on January 3 to see what actions will be done.

I'm just curious about what will happen on the original schedule. This daily pandemic report sucks. They should just allow everything as we are already here. In return, the strict protocol should be applied.

The country can't afford to be in lockdown again.

I agree with you, we can't afford another lockdown again, we don't have a budget already and people will struggle again. The best thing to do now is not to stop the ongoing conference but just to shift it to a bubble format, I'm sure everyone would agree so they can finish it before thinking of the next action of the next conference.

This is so expensive for the PBA, but they have to finish what they have started already.

I don't expect a lockdown either, those face shields requirements are also over, it should not be implemented once again. We are seeing a surge of cases, the government will just eventually close all the entertainment businesses as they usually are the reason why people gathers. This is not really a good news, we started this new year with some disappointed news but here it is, we cannot deny it, let's just hope it will not result to stopping the season or the conference again.
2868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 02, 2022, 12:03:50 PM
I'm taking the Jazz -4.5 since the Warriors looked a bit off against the Nuggets, they trailed as much as 20points in the first half then came back to tie the game in the 4th quarter but still not enough for a win. On the other hand, you have the Jazz playing on a back-to-back, but still have most of their key players. It's tough to go against one of the best teams in the league but i'll gladly take my chances knowing they're missing one of their starting player.
Sorry mate, the Warriors dominated and defeated the Jazz today opposite to your expectations. I mean, it's somehow expected that the Warriors will eventually bounced back after their defeat against the Nuggets (for the record, it was just a 3 points difference).
I thought that the Jazz would really recover til the end after they made a 19-points lead at the end of 3rd quarter because of the impressive play of Gobert and Clarkson but the Warriors answered back on the 4th quarter and settled the game to their favor. 

They got tired chasing the lead of the Warriors, although they got a decent lead, but it wasn't enough and they are not able to sustain it because Curry keeps the Warriors close and it's just a matter of time before the Jazz legs gets tired and started to missed shots.

Andre Igoudala was the big difference in this game as he hits a crucial 3 points that really did the game for the Warriors as the Jazz wasn't able to responds after that 3 by the veteran.

Warriors proving that they are the best team in the West, thus far, they have the best record and they beat the Suns and Jazz already so this team really has a legit chance to be in the NBA Finals once again.  They are playing good basketball, missing some important player/s is not really a problem as everyone is willing and can contribute.
2869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is ethereum still a viable alternative to Bitcoin? on: January 01, 2022, 09:40:29 PM
I'm sure bitcoin will remain at the top but I'm unsure with ETH as there's good competition in the altcoins market. Being stable is not a thing in crypto, when the bear market comes, everything will dump including bitcoin and it's just a matter of how they'll survive and on how huge the dump will happen.

In terms of a payment system, bitcoin is way better now as you can transact with lower fees compared to Ethereum.
You are right. It will not be surprising if ethereum will be replace from its position in the future due to its own issue having a high transaction fees. And since the altcoin market a lot of projects have been emerging every year, and if it happens that there's another smart network that has low transaction fees and seems reliable, i think most of the projects will grab for it.  But i also hope that ethereum's issue will be fix already as its hard to trust another network which has gained already a strong foundation.
2870  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: mainstream media eager to announce Bitcoin dead on: January 01, 2022, 08:53:47 PM
Since they didn't understand it, that was actually the reason.
there are fewer reasons to dislike bitcoin than to dislike the Ordinary national currency.
and if they love money or any reason, try to take some time to learn about bitcoin.

bitcoin is better than money, just ignore the media or anything that tries to bring down bitcoin because over time they will realize it and will get involved, because bitcoin or crypto can still be said to be new so it's only natural that there are still many who don't like it.
The mainstream media is considered anti bitcoin so they are definitely closed minded and would not accept positive news about bitcoin and refused to understand bitcoin more. So they keep on publishing negativity about bitcoin and claiming its dead already a lot of times, and as for those readers who are also not knowledgeable on bitcoin, they easily believed on the negative news.  But if they will come to analyze it, bitcoin is even more progressive and continue to grow every year.
2871  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which trading strategy would be a good start for new traders? on: January 01, 2022, 08:10:36 PM
I'm in beginner stage at trading . Recently I loose about 80$ . It is a  huge amount for me . But I wanna try again
Now I need some advice for me . I also have some questions about trading.

1.My 1st question is about which trading strategy  is good for a new traders ? I mean short term  or long term.

2.  In short-term trading, when to buy and when to sell ?

3.  In short-term trading, do I need to sell the coin  on the day ?


I hope these questions answer and advise could help me to know some good things about trading and helping to choose the right trading strategy at this stage  and others like me.

1. I'm a long term so I'll say that long term is really good and effective for me and try it, maybe you're for the long term.
2. This is a question that only you can see how it's being done. You'll get similar answers like buying during the dip and selling at the peak and when you're in profit.
3. You have to sell when you're in profit and you have to set a target.
I also think long term trading will work on you as it has less risk compared to short term trading. As long as you have patience to hold, you will always be good and profitable when it comes to long term trading.

However, if you go for short term trading, the risk is even higher but its still a good way to make profits as long as you are capable to make profits in a consistent way. Its always a good buying moment when the prices are in dips and definitely perfect time to sell when bull run hits the market or when the coins reaches their new ATH. Of course, never sell at a losing price. Just sell when you think you'll be in profits.
2872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 01, 2022, 01:58:48 PM

The games I'm talking about are the Suns vs Boston, and Bulls vs Pacers. 
I'll back the road teams here individually (single bet) and will do a parlay as well.

Bad bet here,  and though Bulls won but they failed to cover the spread, it's a total wrecked because I also have a parlay on these two teams. Anyway, gotta bounce back real quick as we have more games coming. Still like the Bulls despite failing me last night, so Bulls -2.5 against the Wizards.

This  Golden State vs Utah game as well but I have a little doubt because the Warriors are +5.5, so maybe some players are out again.
2873  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you buying in this market downturn? on: January 01, 2022, 01:39:25 PM
Exactly. If you are aware already that bitcoin will not always stay in a high value, but it will also experience price dumps, then the current market condition should not bother you at all. Expect that the market will experience downturn which will even offer a great opportunity to start buying potential and strong coins that will always bounce back whenever its value dumps.

However, buying bitcoin, ethereum and BNB are definitely my target coins this time. They may be seen slow in progress but certainly the most profitable coins when they are seen reaching their new ATHs.

I have bought bitcoin and ethereum during the position of the market that was anticipating to go up or down but it happened that after I bought it the prices continues dumping, I am sort of too early to buy but I don't have any regret because bitcoin and Ethereum were always be the best option to buy in this market downturn. Also, altcoins like Solana, XRP, and BNB still a good choice to buy too, to be honest, there's a lot of good altcoins good to buy in this market downturn like Metaverse tokens we only need to make a proper research about it.

That's great, as long as the project has great potential, buying them at the moment is really good timing as it's still cheap due to some correction we are witnessing now. The entire market has not fully recovered yet, maybe this will take further correction and more dump will be witnessed, so always have some budget to buy the dip as that would mean you bought it at a discounted price.
2874  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you buying in this market downturn? on: December 31, 2021, 11:14:41 PM
Bitcoin's still the best buy during this down time.

Everyone shouldn't be discouraged when they see bitcoin goes down. You have to realize that it's the reason most of your alts are down. And instead of piling up for more alts of yours, get the source and reason why the market goes down.

That's bitcoin.

Buy it and for the altcoins, solid ethereum it is.

2875  Economy / Economics / Re: Digital asset is for holding on: December 31, 2021, 10:39:01 PM
Everything requires patience, especially in the long run because there will be many temptations along the way such as panic, emotional and so on and you have to be really strong through them to get a good profit.
Knowledge and learning to analyze is very important before trading especially for the short term because you have to do it full time to make money and use the extra money so that when it doesn't go as expected you don't regret it too much.

Short trading isn't as easy as you think. I don't advice it for the newbies who wants to have a quick profit, because short term trading needs a good experience. Trading capital must also be separate from the funds you need for daily essentials.
Holding is always gonna be the safest choice.
Set a target, invest what you can afford to lose, never depend on your investment as a back up fund for emergency, and never sell it to a much lower price when the market declines never panic.
Holding sounds easy as well, but It's always gonna be concerning when you're on actual holding.
People get blinded by the profits they can get with short term trading and as such they decide that is the path they want to take, it seems they do not understand that compared to long term trading or holding it is many time harder and that the chances of success are lower, but since all what they care about are the potential profits then they decide to try it anyway and then when they fail they come to the forum to complain about it when anyone could have predicted the results they got.
Well, short term trading brings a higher risk but if you think you are capable to make profits consistently, then why not? I think as long as we're getting our main goal to make profits, then its always good. However, if you think of higher profits, then long term holding could possibly give you that. Although it may be a long waiting game, but if you are just patient and calm, the rewards will always be worth waiting for. But for you to be more stable, its better if you can land a permanent day job so you won't be worrying if crypto is not making profits sometimes.
2876  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is really controlling the Bitcoin market. on: December 31, 2021, 09:56:12 PM
People always say that they are are waiting for the price of Bitcoin go down before they go into the market for trading and at the same time nobody can predict the market.
Now is the market been manipulated? Or it all depends on the numbers of investors who invested.
There is something we need to understand about Bitcoin.
The more the demand of Bitcoin the more the increase take place.Can anyone predict the market?
Because people are waiting for the decrease in price and are they predicting the market or not?
I don't think have a better understandingn on how Bitcoins

Initially, I believed that the price of BTC was driven by demand, but over the past few years I have seen that the price of BTC is being manipulated. Who is doing this? First of all, these are large crypto exchanges and funds. I also believe that they do this not of their own free will, but on instructions, but who exactly gives such instructions I cannot say because I don’t know. And it is clear that this information is closed and hardly anyone can know 100% who is the customer of the BTC pumps and dumps. In any case, demand no longer affects the price of BTC, since there are off-the-shelf platforms where you can buy BTC at a fixed price, and not at the exchange price, which means someone can buy BTC at a low price, after which there is a custom pump and a profit is made. These are just my guesses, maybe everything works in a completely different way.
For me, no one is capable to control the market, except for those big whales that are holding significant amount of bitcoin as they are always manipulating the market. Also, bitcoin market can be controlled by its own supply and demand. When you see many investors are buying bitcoin, the supply will lessen but will create a higher value for bitcoin. Now, if many will sell bitcoin especially at a bull run, its value is expected to dump a little but definitely recovers after some time.
Yes, big whales are always in a good position to manipulate the market since they are holding a huge amount of bitcoin. But aside from that, there are those sudden news and events that will also control the market and sometimes when its really affected, it creates price dumps. Also, the biggest factor that i think can control the bitcoin market is the law of supply and demand. Usually, if there are significant number of people who will use bitcoin, then it will create a positive price for bitcoin as its massive adoption also increases.

It's very evident that Sportsbet.io is taking the lead, just like the old survey, they are consistently winning as they'll likely win again this year.

I don't expect a boring year, that's for sure! I mean every year is turbulent in crypto, with crazy bull and bear markets... definitely we don't lack excitement here in the crypto world, and I believe the next year will be like all others before, crazy as it can be! Some coins will disappear, some new ones will arrive, I expect some coins to make new records... with more users, and every year crypto community is growing, we can expect crypto market to expand even more!
Buckle up and never stop stacking some coins you like and believe in, even if 2022 doesn't bring what we expect it will happen in 2023! Smiley
There will be another roller coaster for crypto prices as every year, crypto brings us all excitement and joy. But i have strong feeling that NFTs and metaverse gaming will continue their trend by 2022 and they will become more profitable as its users continue to expand. Also, investing in bitcoin, ethereum and BNB will bring good profits again if we start buying them now and continue hodling by 2022 and just wait for a perfect price to sell once their prices are in peaks.
2880  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I know legit and scam investment? on: December 30, 2021, 02:50:06 PM
It is actually hard to find about the scam as you know very well that if one project launch then everyone want to start investing in it and with the passage of time the number of users of that project increases so you cannot find that weather it is scam or not. But if certain project asked for more money then you can realize that it will be scam. In cryptocurrency there are  certain projects that are scam and you invest in these project and lose your capital as you do not know about its scam.
Most of the scam projects are offering rewards that are too good to be true that you end up realizing if this is legit or not. And also at some point, legit projects look like scam too. So if you are not knowledgeable enough and create decision instantly, then you will fall as one of their victims. I think its definitely a must to go in depth with the project and the team behind it if they are really existing or just ghosts. Its also good to trace the history of the project if they have been successful or not in the past.

However, scamming has been rampant these days so you need to avoid it as much as possible. By keeping yourself updated of all the current events and studying the crypto space continuously, and not being greedy to make bigger profits, then there will be less chances for you to be scam.
