2881  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 10% increase in a day - why? on: October 09, 2021, 12:16:05 PM
This increase occurs due to the inauguration of the U.S. Infrastructure Bill and currently in one of the largest banks in the U.S. already storing crypto assets is certainly very extraordinary and will have a big impact on the value of bitcoin and altcoins of course, and in the future the increase that occurs will pass the current 10% mark and is currently slightly hampered due to news of the ban on using crypto transactions in China, China. But it's not too much we care because in the last year they also made negative news but it only lasted a moment later the value of bitcoin again increased.
It is still uncertain, might it gives some impact on the price but I don't think that is only the reason for this price surge.
But all I can say is that we're glad to have this momentum despite the FUDs and news coming from China. The market stood still stronger and what we've seen this time is a sign that we're moving upward and the demand is increasing.  Having this uptrend motion, we can expect that there is another ATH that comes within this year.

If you've been aware of the volatility of the market, you can also think about the risk that want you to endure. To say it was convenient, easy, and fast transactions, no, it was not the real thing that happens. Delays always happen nowadays and much more for those who have an intermittent internet connection?
A lot of things why merchants or business owners are not accepting Bitcoin yet, they are worried about its volatility. They are in business and they wanted ROI assurance which is hard to make from this volatile market.

Wouldn't they be too disadvantaged if they have two of their good players gone for awhile due to injury? Pretty sure that they're going to have a hard time playing especially if they're a key players to the Pacers.

Yup! I have eventually changed my bet on final moments and my intuition to change was right Julius Randle done a great job giving 20 pts to the team, RJ Barrett did 17, Kemba Walker did 12 while Derrick Rose just put up 8 Pts, and have played 21 mins inside, but even though their performance and team work were great than with the Pacers.



The score was properly distributed, they are scoring well as a team and they don't only rely on one player, and I have that's what we are going to see in the regular season, Knicks is also an offensive power team, though they are lead by young players but they are in the East, they have a good chance to be in the playoffs and maybe at least advance in the 2nd round.

That is a good thing for the Knicks you can see from their play, they are not focusing on one player and distributing their play with passing the ball on the available player, although Pacer is doing the same the lack of key players was the thing on how the Indiana Pacers have lost,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Indiana Pacers

I think the Indiana Pacers is looking for the win after losing from their preseason opener to the Knicks and Indiana Pacers have lost their five straight preseason games and are not looking good right now while the Cleveland Cavaliers have split their last six preseason games and with that, I think that the Cavaliers will win this +3.5.

We are on the same side mate, it's good to take the underdog during the preseason as they still give their 100%. Cleveland won their last game against the Hawks, so I'm riding with their success in the preseason as this might be their only chance to experience a good win. I'm also betting on the ML  and under 217.

I think you guys are really crazy betting the preseason.  Seems more like a coin flip to me instead of sports gambling since most of the players in the game aren't the team's main unit.  For some teams though I guess this is the only time of year you can win a bet with them. Smiley

It won't be much longer now...  The media interviews were enough to keep me satisfied for a little bit longer.  I am ready for opening day though and moreso for the upcoming Lakers/Warriors game.

It's like a coin flip but as a bettor, we like to put our bet while enjoying the preseason, we don't need to take it seriously, just bet for fun so as this early, we are already conditioning ourselves to the new season which we will bet until next year. As they say, practice makes you perfect, so start practicing now.

It was a trap, SMB does not show their toughness in this game, they didn't even try to come back as the whole game ended up a well domination by the TNT.

We were not expecting that it's a trap, SMB did a great job on a comeback win in game 2 but they seem playing tired in game 3. Anyway, we can't change what happen but SMB still has game 4 to try to even the series and for sure they will make sure they will win and will not play catch-up game as they would usually lose on that scenario.

TNT played well, there's no question about that, and I agree with you, SMB seems tired the role players did not contribute that much. Still have another game to compete. Maybe they will try harder to beat TNT's system. Coach Leo needs to work with each player to be more competitive and not to allow TNT's stars to just keep taking shots and have a higher confidence. SMB needs to work more with good defense and a good counter with every conversion from TNT players. A long way for this series and they need to keep working hard if they want to win.

Though TNT is really an improved team, William's presence is now bringing big impact, together with Erram, Rosario and Poguy coach Chot made this team more solid and very competitive.

If SMB's best player could not deliver an MVP  contribution, SMB will likely lose in the series. We need to see more from June Mar Fajardo in game 4, it's an important game as they are behind and they need to even the series to have a chance to win it. Maybe in game 4, I will try to put a bet on SMB 1st half win, I like to see them playing harder and win the first half again.

JMF has returned from an injury, plus his mother died, so he is not 100% yet. if the Beermen are really a good team, this is the time to show some support to JMF and help the team to win so they could give this as a gift to JMF. SMB is still not out in the series, TNT still has to win 2 more games which looks easy now but once SMB found the best strategy, the advantage might be on them.
2885  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Losses in trading are nothing but Business expenses on: October 08, 2021, 07:22:12 AM
I agree with you that we should look at trading losses more openly. While they hurt our bankroll, losses are not always bad. First of all we should learn from our losses.
That suppose the thing we do but it is so sad that not all have taken this as a sort of learning, more often they think they don't have a better future in trading. We keep thinking to get in profit all the time neglecting the chance that one-day losses will come to us. It is a common mistake for most trading being too emotional.
But I can't blame why some traders got mad when they lose, as a human being, it is somewhat common and understandable,  and surely everyone does during their early days in trading. But if we keep behaving this way, there is no way to succeed.
2886  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons why NFTs projects are not making wave-like ICOs on: October 07, 2021, 10:55:27 PM
There is nothing wrong. You are just on the wrong side of NFT projects. Have you considered that?
I have made a good sum of money buying NFT game tokens and I can say it had been a good ride. As of now, I am trying to circulate that profit to another NFT or a DeFi maybe and who knows if I get lucky again.
It was just the same as the ICO, you do your research and you will be paid well enough with some added luck.
While personal experiences are important just because you have made money with NFTs that does not means that what we are seeing means that the NFT market is larger than what it was the ico market back then.

Even if I did not liked the market of icos back then either the fact that those coins offered many potential applications that could change the world is what created the huge demand for them, in the case of NFTs they are not going to change anything and are just another form of collectible, like baseball cards or comic books, and while interesting this means the market is never going to reach the popularity icos had back then.
And besides, they don't have similar market applications and use-case believing that they don't have the same results.  Honestly, ICO had made them more profitable, many of them have gone so fast and become shit projects but at least people are also having a good experience.
But these NFT's coins, it is somewhat people get worried about them, they don't look so attractive and promising makes investors not to choose and doubtful for investing. Anyways, ICO had done already but has come possible that the NFT projects will follow shortly.
2887  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gervonta Davis vs. Rolando Romero - December 5 on: October 07, 2021, 01:50:11 PM
I watched Lopez interview about this fight and he is betting Romero will beat Gervonta and he is betting 100 grand for that I don't know if he is that serious and what he sees on Romero and why he is taking Davis for granted, majority will pick Gervonta to win this fight, Romero is just to boastful to think that he can beat Gervonta he will be exposed on this fight.

here is the interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsvehrAtbBk

Teofimo is against Gervonta Davis, so he would not say anything good for Gervonta Davis and betting against Davis, I think his 100 grand will have a big return as  Rolando Romero will surely be an underdog of this fight, with an odds of like x5 or more probably.

his been challenging Davis even before.

TEOFIMO LOPEZ JR. SAYS GERVONTA DAVIS IS 'SCARED', DARES TANK, DEVIN HANEY AND RYAN GARCIA TO FIGHT HIM
2888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 07, 2021, 01:18:34 PM
The line is now up for SMB vs TNT.


https://www.betcoin.ag/sports

Still nice odds for SMB, anyone here believes that SMB will take a 2-1 lead after that miraculous come back?
Romeo was already activated, he might still be hot in this game.

Both odds for SMB and Magnolia are interesting. After that 2-0 lead, Magnolia can sweep the Bolts if there're no changes from their system.

They needed to make a good stop. The big three are really making a good damage, Lee, Abueva and Sangalang.
adjustment from the defensive plays needs to be more focus both outside and inside.
There's no need to change their system, they built it that way and they have to play that way too, the problem why they lose a big margin in game 2 is because of the injury of Raymond Almazan, if he is not available in game 3, someone has to step up and provide the defense they need.


SMB as an underdog? After winning game 2, interesting to take this odd. With Romeo and Fajardo playing much healthier now
 
The chance of winning is very possible.

A slight underdog, but I don't count it as odds could change, I guess if you want SMB, take it now as it might change tomorrow, they could be a favorite again just like in game 2.
2889  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transactions is so expensive on: October 07, 2021, 05:08:01 AM
Please calm down...
I believe there is a mistake in your transaction. I don't know clearly what you are doing or what particular wallet that you are using because I use to pay $1( sometimes just a cent) to complete the transaction while you pay $10?

If that you are using an exchanger, it was a need for you to use other coins like XRP or Doge for small fees as suggested by mindrust, that certainly you can save a lot. I think you have to look further on your transaction/s and so you can avoid paying high again.
2890  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Twitter can make impact in the BTC world? on: October 06, 2021, 10:11:03 PM
If the whole thing turn out successful as planned by Twitter then there will new adoption Bitcoin and crypto currency at large and that will in variably increase the unit price of Bitcoin and other Altcoins. Though there are so many concern as regards Twitter turning Gost community which means most of the account are not real.
Now recently as we are having some good adoption it's bringing some better use case and awareness because main issue is just better view of this bitcoin and crypto for common peoples now after having this twitter some good number of peoples will read and try to understand because they're already having good basis at Twitter and many already giving tips and other benefits to content creators because mostly they are the biggest beneficiary of this.

After this action from twitter now hopefully some other social media sites also try to give chance bitcoin for use case because now competition is very tough for them if they want to be staying in market with better results.
They are more in the tough competition and one way to attract users is by having this tipping strategy that has been practice by other social media platforms before Twitter had tarted. Well, we can expect that more people will take this opportunity.
And besides, social platforms now are one of the biggest promoters and many companies use this to promote their products and services. I could say that these things have a huge influence in the market, not just we can possibly make some money from them as a user but the companies are also benefiting more. 
2891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: October 06, 2021, 01:07:22 PM
that 24 wins in all his fight and 20 of them are Knockouts are proof that this man is a Monster inside the ring .
Well he is really something. I watched his previous fights and I can say that he is more like Inoue, fast, agressive and know where to hit his opponent. However he is not well known and those opponents he managed to defeat are also not popular the reason why he is not recognize yet. But if ever he defeat Donaire on their upcoming fight, it might be the start for him to be on the spotlight so lets see whats going to happen.

Right, this kid has some serious power and good body shot too, although I would say the talent is still very raw (although the videos I have said is 2 years old), so a lot of improvement. But this one is really going to test him against a experience Donaire. So it is going to be very close fight, don't count out this kid, he could be the next big fighter coming from the Philippines. If he can pull an upset, he will have a bright future and who knows, he could challenge Inoue or Casimero too as he will have the full belt if he win.

I would only say he is good if he can beat Donaire. Gaballo has the power but honestly, I don't see his technique be effective in a boxer who also has the power to KO an opponent. It's a big challenge for him, though he is only a challenger just imagine if he will beat Donaire here, he would get a chance to fight Inoue and if he wins, he would be the most successful Filipino boxer who is still active.
2892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 06, 2021, 12:38:29 PM
Are we going to see another comeback on the Magnolia vs Meralco game?
It didn't happen, too bad for Meralco, they are now down 0-2 in the series.

Once again, Magnolia had a very good start in the 4th quarter, looks like we are seeing a 2-0 after tonight.
Good luck on your bet, hope you guys bet on Magnolia here as they are just -2.5 on the pregame odds.

All great for Magnolia in the 4th quarter as they scored 28 while 20 only for Meralco. it showed that they don't have the ability to close and win in the last quarter, and one of the reasons is that they lack their center which is Almazan, hopefully, he is okay.

here's how he was injured : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoxHiC6x1nU
2893  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: China says all crypto transaction are illegal on: October 06, 2021, 04:54:26 AM
I'm not surprised this news when it comes from China because they always doing this spreading FUDs. China is a big country and I think they can manipulate the market but I'm hoping that people in the world ignore this news so that people will not panicking and the market will not go dump.
They do.

And that's what they keep on doing in the crypto market. They don't mind what they're doing to the smaller markets and even in taking over in almost everything.

It's what they do all of this time.

And mostly they succeed doing this FUD, be very careful dealing with negative news from China,
most of the time it creates a short time impact then after it will bounce and start building good resistance.

It happened  before so it's not far that again it will happen back.
The cycles are just repeating itself. Better to make sure that you are fully aware of China's tactics.

Crypto was been treated this way even before, but only thing know is, they are more strict and they keeping their eyes to strictly implement the rules.
They weigh almost nothing and people are already that China is not already involved in crypto nor that they need to create FUDs just to change our mindset. This could still give a small impact on the market since not all are in strong hands, many were still being emotional and they easily got caught with this news. As long as we all don't have faith and trust crypto, this will certainly be happening again and again.
2894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 12 years today since the first known price was set for BTC on: October 05, 2021, 02:42:59 PM
It is always been good to see and remember the history of Bitcoin even we once ignore it before until we found out that this was a good and profitable investment. We can really think and say, why?
If Bitcoin prices don't move so fast like that, it is for sure only a few people will give interest in this thing. Yeah, only a few people but as it rose up, millions got crazy to come and share chunks of Bitcoin, buying at $40k, $50k...
2895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Legalized Gambling where you live..where does it stand? on: October 04, 2021, 09:53:46 PM
In my place is a supportive place so gambling is allowed and of course this will help gamblers to carry out their actions without feeling burdened. here there is no problem if we follow gambling, the important thing is that we can choose or follow legal and good gambling. Various kinds of gambling are available, each with its own rules, it's just a matter of how we follow the gambling well. Of course I feel lucky with that so if you want to take part in gambling, you don't have to worry anymore whether it's legal or not.
It is a good thing that it was allowed in your country but the concern in terms of illegal gambling, will create a stricter policy that some people might not agree with especially when asking KYC. I know that some countries are allowing and legalize gambling/casinos just because this could be an additional income to the government. Will, at least we are comfortable and not even worried if the authorities will seize us because it was legal.
2896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Spain bans betting adds - no celebrities, no sport sponsorship, no daytime adds on: October 04, 2021, 09:31:23 PM
Surely Spain is denying themselves tax revenue from a valid past time.  I'd rather they tax betting in some form, allow business to advertise itself and reduce the load on vital natural businesses and people from excessive taxation and government debt which every modern western country seems to have in modern times.
It will be hard for gambling site to continue there stay in Spain since the government had decided to attack there business and the right for citizens to advertise there favorite betting companies. This is a big hit on the entertainment industry cause betting companies are most ready to sponsor entertainment to the moon so that there companies can also be held. If the government is no more interested in taxes gotten from betting companies then, maybe something is wrong somewhere.

Well they can innovate and join the online scene since for this they can widen up their market then possibly they can get more gamblers came from different parts of the world. This is now the trend so if they want to continue there business well its good to find some ways to make it more alive and they can market it anywhere then can do anything without government bothering them in terms of marketing.
But if the government will impose laws in regards to this, there is no way they could make it and they should have to pay, otherwise.
As it was noticed that the gambling industry is growing, the governments will be taking this a chance to get profit, that is how bad and corrupt the government system we had. Personally, I don't have such claims as it was our obligation to pay taxes as we run a business legally but too sad to see that these people urging us to pay huge tax which is not really acceptable.
2897  Other / Off-topic / Re: What do you think about this? on: October 04, 2021, 09:00:56 PM
In opinion gambling sites will not allowed people to open several account because they will use their first account reference cade to make money and that is cheating the gambling sites. Most of the gambling sites will pay you if you use you refer new customers to their site and if you the one other alt account that will be cheating and is illegal.
Cheating is very common in gambling, many creating numbers of accounts for that sake(a small penny), and if they got caught, they will then claim that they are not doing this. They can be traced through their IP address that is why they easily found who were cheating and they don't have the right to argue as in the first place they know it already upon reading their rules. It was just most gamblers don't read it or they are just lazy to do it prior to cheating.
2898  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Dogecoin Is Crypto's Most Dangerous Joke on: October 04, 2021, 01:37:37 PM
I don't consider dogecoin to be a shitcoin
It's actually it is that's why it's a meme coin.

because it was created for fun and ran on its own blockchain, but most influencers have turned it into a dump and pump coin that has spawned hundreds of dog projects, it's a shame that the circle hasn't come to a stop despite numerous scams and frauds.
That happened due to Elon's attention.

And look where he is right now, he's quiet about it and probably sold at the top and that's why those who have bought at the top maybe are taking the regrets of being hyped.
They probably feel how hyped has been ruining their life and made them lose. Not to wonder that Elon Musk makes benefits from this as he is the one who controls its prices and these people who come and follow him got caught in the trap.
I'd never heard Elon being active in crypto space after playing the market. He is gone taking the money of innocent people who come and praise him without knowing his real intention. Even though this project has been in the market for many years, it is never been in my mind to invest in this nor I have the interest.
2899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How has Bitcoin Changed your life? on: October 04, 2021, 12:59:13 PM
this reminds me of a few years ago when I started pioneering and entering the crypto world. at that time i started to invest little by little and also follow the bounty till now. of course it has changed the financial and mindset. that's why i feel lucky because i have joined this crypto world and make good use of bitcoin and other crypto. The more we come here, the more we realize that we must have a goal so that we can focus on achieving that goal.
You did this because you have trust, not all people made their day so overwhelming, some did not able to reach their goal due to their mindset. Those who believe and trust Bitcoin will succeed, it wasn't just being a lucky person because that is our choice in the first place. We take this risk, we sometimes lose however, we keep our faith strong which is why we are still here.
I couldn't deny myself that Bitcoin had to change my life financially and I was really happy with the results. Not just in terms of money but because I gain how to be strong in times of difficulties and decision-making.
2900  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING: Skill-based vs. Chance-based on: October 04, 2021, 09:08:34 AM
Gambling is not an instant way to get rich, but gambling can be your instant way to get poor because of losing money.
It really can happen if the gambler has no good self-control and use inappropriate way in gambling. That's why a gambler must be aware of the risks in gambling and choose the right way to avoid huge losses + addictions. In this matter, both skill-based and chance-based games have the same risks leading people to get poor instantly. If someone is too obsessed with being rich through gambling, he probably ends up losing all money and be stressed. In reality, I have seen many gamblers who ended with bad stories.



Games in which your winnings depend on your skills are safer for your psyche.  Why are gambling dangerous?  They lead to the development of learned helplessness. 

Acquired helplessness is a state in which a person believes that nothing depends on his actions.  This applies not only to the game itself.  In games, a person masters behavior strategies that he uses in real life.  Learned helplessness can negatively affect all areas of human life. 

It's another matter if gambling is based on human skills.  The player can improve himself and achieve success in gambling. 

This strategy is very useful in all spheres of human life.

Actually both are dangerous (skilled-based and luck-based), the only way to minimize or manage the risk is if you gamble responsibly, no one would survive if they are no responsible as in gambling, you can easily loss all your money and even the money that you are not suppose to gamble.
