I just hope that good old grandpa Evander Holyfield earner well in this fight and he in his 58 wont hit that "boxing vs retired MMA" or "exhibition fight" or "boxing fight among old stars" mania.

Belfort was loaded for this fight and dropped good bombs. I'm glad that ref was smart and experienced enough to stop this fight before KO.

After what happened, I think he will think twice if he will ever fight again. He got KO in round 1 only, there's no excitement in his next fight as we all see that a 58-year-old man cannot fight anymore, even though he is very popular before but when someone gets old, things really changed.

No wonder investors say 95% of the many projects launched are scams, this is not the case with crypto as a whole. There are so many memes of coins on the market that are no longer actively traded and various parties that come up with the idea of crypto to recruit investors to invest where they end up being scammed, experiences like this make me think crypto should be monitored by the state. However, it is highly unlikely that cryptocurrencies are controlled by the government. 2015 sounds good about crypto, everyone feel comfortable to invest in launched project. Hopefully that happy year can come back for comfort in investing.

At least a part of the blame should be on retarded people who pour their money in to such projects. Back in 2016/17, a number of ICO projects returned 100x or even 1000x returns for those who invested in them. And as a result, there was a lot of hype related to the ICOs. A lot of users were rushing to invest in ICOs, despite the shady credentials. They were hoping that at least 2-3 out of 10 projects would return good profits. That didn't happened and most of those who made their investments lost the capital amount.

That was part of the process, you can't blame them for investing money because they saw the potential and they believe that they could make money. They lose, that's okay because there's a lot of opportunity in crypto, and if they learn from their mistakes, then probably they are already in profit now.

As the market is not yet fully regulated, you can see more scams as it's easy for scammers to play here, but as their style was exposed, I'm sure that will give awareness to investors on what to look for when investing.

According to the article, I like their plan of changing position if necessary when Westbrook is on the floor. Lebron James moving from SF to Pf and Davis from PF to Center. And in terms of offense, Westbrook will just let Lebron or Davis initiate it as he's now used on it playing in the Houston Rockets alongside James Harden and Bradley Beal playing with the Washington Wizards.

If that was perfectly executed and not just written in the paper, Lakers' core is now complete and hard to deal with.
Yes, I also agree and this will be an advantage for the Lakers because there are many players who can easily play in various positions, for example LeBron James, he can easily play in, SG, SF and PF.

I'm sure, LeBron James with his experience will control Westbrook for him do not commit any reckless attitude during the games

because sometimes so he doesn't do any reckless actions.
to he doesn't do any reckless actions during the games.

I'm anxious to seeing the Lakers play in the future, let's see if the team has a chemistry, especially with this new trio (LeBron, AD and Westbrook),
By the way, I also believe that this combination could have the same level like Miami Heat trio in 2010 - 2014 (LeBron, Wade and Bosh)
Let's see if this new Lakers trio can be better than the Heat trio from a few seasons ago

This is good for Lebron James as Westbrook IMO has a better vision compared to him, it's my personal view only, you can oppose, and though Westbrook does not have a good shooting percentage, he sometimes calls the last shot, unlike Lebron as PG who would just past the ball. It will be the first time Lebron playing sa SF if this plan will be realize, so let's see.

Under two conditions, if the market remains bullish and XRP won the case against them charge by the SEC. I guess, that would create big news in the market and it will turn XRP bullish since until now, XRP has not been bullish year despite almost a year the market has been bullish already.

Hype can turn coin to its bullish mode, and we have not seen that for XRP yet, so buying at the current rate might give you a chance to make a good profit, but if you think anytime the market will be bearish, then wait until XRP trade below $0.50 again.
2925  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 90% chances if a coin is listed in Binance it has a good potential on: September 12, 2021, 09:17:39 PM
not all coins on binance have great potential but almost all are good. like when binance will register a new coin and quickly the price of the coin will increase quite quickly before it returns to normal. but many people think the coins on binance are good coins because they can enter the biggest market in the world.

The title says itself, not all but only 90%, which I think is high enough. We should have data here before we can say that 90% has potential and one of the bases to determine is the trading volume of a specific coin. If you look at https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/binance/, we can load all the coins listed in Binance and verify if they are really moving. For now, Binance's total trading volume has really increased significantly, from almost 1 billion dollar average daily, now it's already $76 billion daily.

That will never come back anymore, that time, the market is not yet popular, and there are only few projects you can find, now, it's full of coins and tokens and the number of scams has increased as well, yo know, whenever there's an opportunity, scammers will come to play, so our only weapon to fight is knowledge, without that, we will fail with our journey here.
2927  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fake token in wallet on: September 12, 2021, 08:48:56 AM
My wallet is filled with all these worthless coins. I have no idea who sends all these coins. Coins that have no value are what they gain by coin wallet sending.
It's those developers that are trying to scam you. They have no value and if something shows that it has value, you'll try to panic as if you're going to exchange that quickly and take the profit.
But little did you know that they're baiting you to fund that wallet of yours and send it to where it's only listed for you to trade.
That one is a very popular way of scam, but some people still fall from these scams.

If you still remember this news https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53425822.. that's one of the most successful scams.

Quote
Billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are among many prominent US figures targeted by hackers on Twitter in an apparent Bitcoin scam.

The official accounts of Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Kanye West also requested donations in the cryptocurrency.

"Everyone is asking me to give back," a tweet from Mr Gates' account said. "You send $1,000, I send you back $2,000."

The US Senate Commerce committee has demanded Twitter brief it about the incident next week.

Only prove that there are still a lot of people who are greedy but has no knowledge of the different style of scams.
Too good to be true offers usually are scams.

All the favorites win today, and they won by round 1 KO. I thought the fight would not be this interesting, but I was wrong, great fight and congratulations to the winners for a very impressive win, especially for Anderson Silva who wasn't too aggressive in the fight but have found the right timing to counter Ortiz and put him on the ground.

Great challenge by Jonas Sultan,  I'm impressed with the power of Carlos Caraballo since all his fights are won by KO. Actually, I'm not familiar with Carlos Caraballo but I feel he is going to make a name in the sports of boxing, so let's see if his win streak and KO streak will continue.

Please update the betting odds once available.

Gasol probably felt disrespected while he was in Lakers that's why he insist on remaining in his home country. I thought it's a bit early for him to retire and he may still need the money from a few years contract since we're still in a pandemic. Good for him and his family if he's already financially stable.

I don't think he felt disrespected or something while he is in the Lakers uniform. Perhaps he really wanted to be close with his family in Spain specially in the condition that we have right now, the pandemic. The Gasol brothers have proven themselves already, Pau winning with Kobe Bryant and then Marc with Toronto + numerous accolades in the Olympics. The Gasol's are European and not like the US players who don't know how to manage their NBA money as we have seen to many ex-NBA players becoming poor or has no money after. I believed he are financially stable and could live a good life in his country.

I think so too, their parents are surely so proud of the accomplishment of Paul and Mark in the NBA, and I think with the news that he will stay with Spain, we might not be able to see Mark again playing in the NBA as he is done with his journey here and he is also close to retirement, well, actually consider this as a retirement already as he stays in Spain, probably for good.
2931  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you think about Sonar (PING) on: September 11, 2021, 09:36:51 PM
What do you think about Sonar (PING) is it another project to invest on?
I have recently been following up but can't really come into conclusion as I still need credible hands and those knows much about it to give little advice about the network if one would bag enough of it.
Is already listed in CMC https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sonar/
Please give your feedback
It is great to know that PING is now on CMC. As far as I know, it will be listed on gate io. If anyone wants to get good profit, it is the best time to buy PING token with cheap price. In my view, the price of PING will be growing so fast after next listing on exchange.
What more if it will be listed in Binance? That would surely boost the price.

Remember that ADA has over 30 billion supply, while this coin only has 4 billion max supply, so there's a chance that it could reach 1 USD or even 2 USD in the future, but it still depends on how the team will handle the project, if they'll realize their plan and impressed the investors, there's no reason it will not grow to a significant price and will become a big project.
2932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sport bet odds accumulation on: September 11, 2021, 09:01:18 PM
I will say the ops should go with Sportsbet for more stable and good odds. I usually use Sportsbet or stake for my weekend bet. They both have the best odds for weekend games. But again, as advised, always use to search feature to carry out a further search.
These two sites are popular, actually, I'm using both of them, and what's good with Sportsbet is they have the price boost where you can increase the odds to get more value on your bet. However, it's still good to explore other sportsbooks as not all the time a certain site could provide the best odds.
2933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING: Skill-based vs. Chance-based on: September 11, 2021, 10:43:16 AM
In poker it's harder to do. because some things (like cards on the table) is independent from you and your skill.

Then why there are people who are consistently good with poker?

The more time a person spend in doing something the more the chances of getting accustom to the way the is done or function. Game of card is a game of chance which the chances of becoming more lucky to win from random is high combined with skill. Maybe I could say the higher the time spent in learning/doing something, the better the chances of getting it right.
Practice makes perfect, that's why gamblers love to practice to learn more and to be consistent.
However, it's only doable on games that are based on luck, therefore, it's important to focus on games that are proven could make someone win consistent money, and of course, as mentioned, card game, particularly poker is one of those.
If a gambler can practice and manage their money, they will surely improve their skills. But most gamblers will not think much about managing their money instead of trying just to play more and more and that is why many gamblers lose their money in the end. However, if that gambling game is based on luck, no matter how hard we practice, we still have a big chance of losing money without knowing when to win. But if that is about poker, practice can make us become a pro poker players.
That's why the majority of the gamblers are losers because they are serious with their goal of making consistent money, but they don't have the skills in doing it, bankroll management is pretty basic, if you messed up with it, then don't expect that you'll have a profitable journey in gambling.
2934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: September 11, 2021, 09:43:18 AM

It's not new to me as I know people who end up selling their personal stuff just to finance their gambling addiction, it's not good and prevention is always better, but we are just human, we are prone to making mistakes and one reason for this is our greediness, our greediness to make money in a short period of time without realizing that gambling is not the right venue for everyone to achieve that goal.

Gamblers who have done everything just to fulfill their desire to gamble is one of the signs he has quite a severe addiction, and of course such a person will be very difficult to prevent, I have seen many gamblers who finally realized after they really became poor and of course it will be the biggest regret for them after they lose everything they have.
And even in my place many of the gamblers who end up having to be in jail for committing a crime to get capital in gambling.

If the crime index will increase due to gambling, then probably gambling was not regulated well in the area, sometimes the government have to look if the people are not suffering from poverty, because in a country where poverty is high, gambling could potentially result to committing crimes as they will also be easily addicted.
2935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: September 11, 2021, 04:50:37 AM
So the risk is greater for him in this fight as compare to Casimero because he is the one going to prove a point like shutting down the mouth of Casimero for good and take his belt and then go after Donaire next.
He is betting his belt as well as this is going to be a unification match, Casimero is not on the top, so the pressure is not on him, however, since Casimero wants to be successful, he would always think of winning just like every boxer who wants to be the most successful in their division.

Casimero though he talks a lot but he is not all talk, the way he fights in the ring, you can see his aggressiveness, so he is really willing to give a good fight to the fans, that's why fans admired him.
2936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Musk is going to hurt the Crypto Industry, sign this petition on: September 10, 2021, 08:55:27 PM
Musk is really going to make this Doge bubble pop at some point and its going to hurt the industry, I started a petition to basically ask him to stop swaying the market.
Check it out and sign and share everyone.

Let me know if I should make some changes to it too, I can go back and edit it.

https://www.change.org/MuskPetition


Who can convince Elon Musk to stop making the bubble doge keep rippling? I don't think Elon Musk will respond to this petition either. In my opinion, it's time for traders to stop playing with Elon Musk, don't be influenced by Elon's tweets on his social media.
what we all need to know is that Crypto is an open market and anyone can do whatever they want.

Some had already realized that they just got fooled on riding with the hype created by Elon, I'm sure they learn already but there are still few who are still believing that Elon is true to his words, the reason why DOGE is still surviving now, however, since we are one in belief that he is just playing the market, I'm sure DOGE will not hold that long.
2937  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Most Bullish Altcoin of the moment on: September 10, 2021, 08:23:53 PM
I have some money on Cardano and Stellar Lumens.
Cardano because I really believe it will be one of the greats in a not so distant future, Stellar because of the fast and very cheap transactions, and the big companies that support it.
These coins had already proven they can significantly rise, especially for ADA which are very bullish this year so far. If the market did not dump, ADA could be trading at over $3 already, but I still think it has achieved so much already this year as its price was only 0.18 at the start of the year and now already trading at over $2.
2938  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: End of bull run so we sell everything? on: September 09, 2021, 08:22:02 PM
You don't sell everything because market just crashed as this could only mean two things,  either you playing in the hands of the whales, probably manipulators trying to win cheap coins off the market or it could simply be a correction.  But if you have to sell ,sell.. but the rules of crypto remain...buy low and sell high so see this as an opportunity to buy the dip and sell when the price of bitcoin recovers and its at its high.
Selling does not require any specific time, it's really up to you, you can sell when the market is bullish, and you can also sell when you see a market dump because if you think it will continue to dump, you can save from losing more. The most important thing is you'll be able to buy back again when the price is at the dip, it's just a simple process, buy at dip sell at the peak, it's not complicated if we are knowledgeable on the market behavior.
2939  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will BNB become the king of all coins on: September 08, 2021, 08:13:59 AM
BNB gained several positions on top and in price only thanks to Ethereum high transaction fees. They introduced an alternative for projects, by making BSC as simple as Ethereum (actually both blockchains looks very similar).
Right now Cardano is going to introduce smart contracts. That is something that will steal BNB popularity and audience. That is something that will throw BNB back. That is why I think that chances of becoming a new king are low.

Well, it has been popular because of the high transaction fee of ETH, however, though there was a delay in the implementation of ETH 2.0, ETH is always at the top of the altcoins race, the price has a big disparity as ETH reach $4k as its ATH while BNB has not reached $1k yet. There's a good race in the top 10, like SOL getting into the top 7 already, but ETH remains strong and stays with a comfortable advantage in marketcap from the next in line in ranking.

This news might be offtopic, however, it is also the offseason and I reckon much of you trade cryptocoins hehehe.

Stephen Curry has joined crypto exchange FTX as brand ambassador and as an investor together with NFL legend Tom Brady and his wife Gisele Bundchen.



Just a day ago, Steph took to Twitter and revealed that he was getting started in the cryptic world of crypto exchange.

And now, he has dropped a major announcement that he’s on the table with Antigua-based crypto trading firm FTX. He opened up with this update in style and stated, “I’m thrilled to be announcing my partnering with FTX. They wanted to have their team put together an announcement video. But I told them no worries, I got this… FTX is dope.”

So now the GSW leader owns equity shares and is sharing the table with NFL’s Tom Brady, his wife and model Gisele Bundchen, eSports organization TSM, Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and others.


Source https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-golden-state-warriors-stephen-curry-joins-nfl-star-tom-brady-in-exciting-new-venture/
Well, amazingly enough, Stephen Curry is one of the best players in the NBA nowdays, probably the FTX made an interesting marketing strategy. I didn't know what happened and now i know about it
By the way, I believe the FTX should partner with more others NBA basketball players. (although this is just an assumption on my part)



Getting Curry to be an ambassador of the project requires enough money, I think they are really serious because they want to be popular in the crypto space by partnering with the popular personality in sports. They are moving in the right direction, I would say, at least they tried their best with an aggressive form of marketing.
