2941  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin could hit $100,000 within a year, crypto firm's CEO predicts! on: April 16, 2022, 10:21:32 AM
Bitcoin could hit $100,000 within a year, the CEO of crypto lending firm Nexo has predicted.

Since his business works with crypto, it's part of the job description to convince people that crypto has a good future.
Making price predictions is one such move. The prediction has 0 value because it's a prediction and the bigger/more interesting the price published, the better chances newspapers will talk about that, also indirectly advertising his company. It's a win-win situation by just telling a number.

So it's a biased prediction with absolutely no value. Sorry.

And same with the other so called perma bulls in the market, their job description is to attract wealthy clients so they have to sing praises about bitcoin and it's massive price increased in the near future so that the potential clients will invest millions on them, and it means profits as a cut for this investment crypto firms. Although the chance to hit $100k is the future is high, it might take some time though and no one knows the exact time when we will achieved it, hence it's a waiting game for us, lots of grinding and years of patience.
2942  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 16, 2022, 09:06:02 AM
^^ From what I observed on Bivol's training videos in preparation on this fight, he seems to be very agile at his weight, uses a lot of feet, in and out and maybe this will be his strategy. But as you have said, can he maintain this during the duration of this fight? what if Canelo found a way to slow him down just like in the Caleb Plant fight wherein in the middle of fight, Canelo got his rhythm, and then slowly takes over the fight.

That will be his gameplan but that may change on the fight night if he saw Canelo is using another technique, there will be a lot of strategy to each other's movement and surely Bivol will gather everything to defend his title successfully but knowing Canelo he won't give up easily and will always find a way to find that certain weakness of Bivol. Canelo is really unpredictable and that will be Bivol's biggest challenge and if he cannot read behind Canelo's movement, that same challenge will turn into his biggest nightmare.

Yeah, probably is, they know that they need a lot of head movement and feet because they shouldn't be a stationary because Canelo is going to target that head. But with a lot of feint and moving away from Canelo's strong hands, maybe the fight will go to distance or Bivol getting lucky by catching Canelo coming inside. But that is a small chance, Canelo's boxing IQ is also very high because of his experience fighting a lot of champions.
2943  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Davis vs Romero: May 28 on: April 16, 2022, 08:41:15 AM
That odds cannot be true. I can't believe it's too high, maybe I won't expect an exciting fight anymore, the odds should already tell that this is going to be a one-sided fight. I thought the fight prior to this was a better one, although Davis won the fight but it wasn't an easy one for him.

The only advantage of Romeo here is his height, if he can use it well, then maybe he will make an upset.

Maybe the hype was no longer there as well? They're supposedly to face against each other in December and the hype that time was big because Romero was doing all the talking and even went on full display with a fur coat during the press conference or face off if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, his height is only his advantage but we have seen Davis knocking out big opponents prior in Barrios. It will be interesting though has his hands are, if they remain brittle throughout his career then maybe it will affect him in this fight.
2944  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: April 16, 2022, 07:41:24 AM
And then on the Zverev vs Sinner, maybe I will go with the underdog Sinner 2.6 ML.

That's quite a good one, actually. I think Zverev has been below his usual standards, and Sinner is rising fast and is still under-rated. Those are decent odds for Sinner to win, in what would not be a huge upset at all.
They have played each other once before on clay, at Roland Garros in 2020... which Sinner won in 4 sets.

Almost mate, Sinner won the first match and then Zverev the second.

It comes down to the third wherein it goes to the tie-break.

So 2/3 for me, won the other two matches as I have bet on the Over points.

Semi-finals, Zverev vs Tsitsipas and then we have Fokina vs Dimitrov. I'll go Under 23.5 on the Zverev vs Tsitsipas and then Over 22.5 between Fokina and Dimitrov.
2945  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin reaches maximum, target $80K BTC on: April 15, 2022, 10:04:02 AM

In my personal opinion I see it as a good time to invest a good amount in BTC and leave them a few months to mature, what do you think? Will they do the same as me?

BUY, HOLD, and SELL.
That is what people who want to have investments should do because buying, holding, and selling will give them the opportunity to make a profit.
Try to be a holder and don't be a weak hand because that will do you nothing but losses.
The current price range is still good enough to buy and hold for a while as the bitcoin price will surely return to a higher price.
The next bitcoin price forecast could be in the price range above yesterday's ATH so it's not too late to buy bitcoin and hold it.

It's easier said than done though, many could be in panic if they see that they portfolio might be going down hard so instead of buying in the dip, they sold and take a lose at one point in time.

And I think this part of being in this industry wherein emotions play a big part.

Now the price is somewhat in the $40,000 region, which is still a good indication that we are not going to fall further or even reaching the lowest low. We still have a good chance to even go as high as $45,000 again.
2946  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: invested in these coins on: April 15, 2022, 09:33:26 AM
^^ BNB looks solid, and so is XRP and SOL. I guess though that XRP is going to get huge once they won their case against SEC so its' good that you have that in your wallet. SOL is also doing good in the market and we all know how stable BNB since the beginning and has been in the top 5 position since last year.

However, for SHIB, this could be just for pure pump and dump so just be careful with those. Not saying that it is a bad investment, but for such meme coins, there could be some manipulation from behind that will make this coin either be successful or you and others losing their money on it.
2947  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are your coins really safe stored in your wallet? on: April 15, 2022, 08:43:22 AM
How safe then are the wallets used in storing coins? And if they could at any time and in any way be compromised hence losing your bitcoins

To be honest, not all wallets are safe, it could be hack, your coins stolen, and there are a lot of point of entry for you to lose your coins not just from hackers and criminals. Let's say your house got burn and your hardware wallet is store there and your back up. So it's better to have a backup somewhere else, maybe in bank vault or something. So it's matter on how to practice security or even privacy hygiene to protect yourself from losing your Bitcoins.
2948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: April 15, 2022, 08:02:26 AM
But for now, Crawford is going to watch the fight for sure and decide after the fight itself.

Crawford had already made a decision and that is to fight Spence, so whoever wins the fight between Spence and Ugas, I'm sure Crawford will challenge the winner and go with another unification fight. People are already predicting that Spence will win, but would that mean a big fight between Crawford and Spence will finally be realized?

Yes, it's a big fight if Spence win and then Crawford sign with PBC and make the fight happen. Crawford wanted to see who is the best in the welterweight so he is eyeing Spence. But as we have discussed before, Spence has so many excuses, and the sticking point the split. However, if Crawford signs with PBC in which Spence is also under, then maybe we will this find finally be realized.

I hope to see that happening, if that is the only chance Crawford will have a chance to fight Spence, then I think the decision is right, However, as the fight is approaching, Spence should be ready and must win against Ugas. Boxing nowadays has become a big business for most boxers, they value what they can earn more than the fans experience.

Everyone is really hoping that Spence and Crawford will clash after this fight specially if Spence win. The chances are high if Crawford signs with PBC, but we will see, maybe he can handle the negotiations and will agree with the terms that Spence will set. And for sure both knows the magnitude of their money, the money that they are going to make could be the biggest in their boxing careers so this fight should happen business wise.
2949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: April 15, 2022, 07:37:21 AM
Ok so it's good to hear that Casimero is already in England and going ready to accustomed with the weather.  Just a week before the fight, he needs to settle down now, manage his weight and just get some few sparring session to get him warm. For now, let's assume that everything is in place, Casimero vs Butler is going to happen although there are no odds yet for this fight on the bookies that I usually bet.
It will push through because Casimero can’t afford to miss this one again and now that he’s on a country venue, he should focus now on good conditioning and adopting the weather. This is a home country of Butler, he might have the advantage over the crowd but I’m sure Casimero is more than ready to address this, within a week from now we will finally see this two to have good fight.

No problem with Casimero fighting on the home court of his opponent, on the contrary he thrives on this and performed much better against a hostile crowd. So this might be another of his trade mark fight, of knocking the local boy in front of his hometown. I'm not sure though how he will address without his brother on his side as he is the trainer, nevertheless if the other team members are with him that he will still be confident because of the people he trusted is with him.
2950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: April 15, 2022, 07:16:18 AM
^^ Still a surprised though that Alcaraz was booted out by Korda, but the match was intense and I thought that Alcaraz can survived this round. But Korda can't be deny though.
...

they both played a high intensity match and in the first two sets they always went to play tie break.
Personally I believe that Alcaraz young age is still evident.
 Against savvy or more experienced players it is not the first time that he has struggled to impose himself, just matter of time to see him dominate the field Roll Eyes !?

Experience is still a big factor in tennis and i think he is really missing it. He won a big tournament and came to the next big one and lost in the first round. That is dissapointing,we see this always in women tennis but not always in mens tennis. Also i think he even didnt prepare much for the clay season

Yes, usually we seen this in the women's side, but maybe Alcaraz body is not yet prime for this kind of grueling tennis run specially in clay season.

Still lot of tennis in Monte Carlo.

Fokina's run is still continuing as he will be facing Fritz in the quarterfinals.

This one is good, Sinner vs Zverev and Tsitsipas vs Schwartzman.

I will be betting on the Over again for the Fokina match against Fritz, Over 22.5 at 1.89.

And then on the Zverev vs Sinner, maybe I will go with the underdog Sinner 2.6 ML.

Tsitsipas vs Schwartzman - Over 21.5 at 1.86.
2951  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel about loans on the crypto space? on: April 14, 2022, 11:46:30 AM
I have heard about this option since a long time ago on big names, such as Binance or Crypto.com, haven't needed them at the time, but, now looking at some possible loans, I encountered smaller projects that will offer the same service, but, better benefits, like Proteus Finance and was wondering if you have any other reliable crypto loan options that have used in the past

I haven't tried those kind of service because of the risk, but I will have to admit that I did take some loans from a reputable member here in the community and I paid my dues already.

But with those services around, not sure if I will go with that route, as I have said, the risk is too high for me at least. I just needed some money that time, very quick that's why I did take the loan. But if I have other choices, I wouldn't venture though.

Korda vs Fritz current match, score is 6-5 Fritz but Korda is serving next. Another good match I reckon, could be another Over score.

Another one is Ruud vs Dimitrov - Dimitrov leading 5-3.
2954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: April 14, 2022, 09:23:33 AM

Really that odd that this fight does involved lots of situations which do causes for the fight on not to happen or to be postponed or something like that which you cant
really that able to avoid to think that there's someone who do really spread out these rumors and make out some confusion to the public or fans.
For Visa issue then its really that impossible yet knowing that boxers have really indeed those international fights which its understandable that they would allow it.

Maybe another rumors that will catch the attentions of the readers and bring them to engage or to have an interest in this upcoming fight.

Not sure though, since Casimero is one of our country's prime fighter, he should have that privilege. Whatever the cause of this concern

his legal team will take care of it, he just need to focus on conditioning his body to be more prepared when the fight takes place, it's more

on legal concern so let his lawyers to take care and solve this issue.

Then those who created this rumor against Casimero is not doing it right because people are going to talk about it, so creating another hype for Casimero for which the supposedly people behind is hell bent on destroying his reputation.

Nevertheless, from the looks of it, the fight is going to happen and those rumors have backfired already.
2955  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shiba made its way to Robinhood on: April 13, 2022, 05:49:00 AM
For sure it will be pumped but most probably for short time, that's what i am guessing right now

You don't need to guess, everyone knows that Shina is just being used by some manipulators for pure pump&dump. And if it's going on Robinhood, they will take advantages of it again to create more hype about the Shiba project and it's supposedly to be the next big thing (so far though they are really doing a good job).

But we all know that once the hype is dead, the price will drop dramatically specially if we goes into a long and hard crypto winter.
2956  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for April on: April 13, 2022, 05:03:37 AM
Just curious what you guys think.

While half of my brain is screaming "OMG it's starting, not agaaiiinnn...", the other half is "calm down, you know that most of those $10bn for buying bitcoin are still unspent, you know that when the price will go down some institutional buyers will probably jump in to buy moar". So I don't know... is it indeed bearish? I can understand that fear is gaining. But 2 weeks ago some were preaching that we are bullish... we are switching too often, too fast between greed and fear. I'd still consider it undecided for now.
I think the market is simply in a ranging state and it is playing with our minds, after all the range is kind of wide so when the price goes up it seems as if we are headed towards a bull market and when it goes down it seems we are headed towards a bear market, however as you say when the price of bitcoin hits a certain level whales and institutional investors will simply load even more bitcoin to their wallets, showing that the current price is close to the absolute bottom we can hit at the moment.

It's on the middle ground right now, investors reluctant again to buy and speculators decided to sell. Nevertheless, this could only be short term, or at least the downtrend could be only in this month (although April is historically a bad month).

So expect the unexpected, if we go down between $35,000-$30,000 then take it as a good buying entry and could be the bottom for this quarter.
2957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: April 13, 2022, 01:13:08 AM
To spice things up and another set of discussions:

Canelo Alvarez Enlists Oleksandr Gvozdyk as Sparring Partner for Bivol Bout

Quote
The 34-year-old Gvozdyk, a native of Ukraine and bronze medalist in the 2012 Olympics, was regarded as one of the top light heavyweights in the sport for the years that he was active, from 2014-2019.

While the Ukrainian is stylistically different from Bivol, Gvozdyk’s size, power, and reliance on using distance and straight punches should make him a more-than-adequate sparring partner for Alvarez. As a professional, “The Nail” rarely went the distance in his bouts.

https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-alvarez-enlists-oleksandr-gvozdyk-sparring-partner-bivol-bout--165450

And so Alvarez training is in full swing, hired Oleksandr Gvozdyk to bring the best out of him in the LHW division.

Although the style might be different, he need to have a good sparring partner and as big as Gvozdyk not to emulate Bivol, but to gauge the power in this division.

Bivol was even asked about Canelo sparring heavyweight in preparation of their fight.

And Bivol smiles and said, doesn't matter, Canelo can even spar with aliens, LOL, how can you not love this guy? And they also said that sparring is sparring and they can get anyone they want, but come fight night it will be very different from sparring.
2958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: April 13, 2022, 12:39:16 AM
Davidovich Fokina won today and faces defending champion Djokovic next.
And Djoković is out... This was a really good performance by Fokina and I expected him to crumble after loosing 2nd set in tie break but he won that decider easy. i guess Djoko is a bit rusty from not competing but still he was not bad and this match had to be won. Fokina really gave his everything and ended the match with bunch of cuts and bruises. He was diving every other game to get to the ball. You don't see that so often these days Smiley

Well we just seen a great match by Fokina and a terrible one from Djokovic. Its now known that Djokovic is missed too many matches this season and now it effected his gameplay and monte carlo and with this i think he will lose the first position again. He needs to start playing better and get much more matches if he wants to stay first or win matches

Yeah, probably just a bad game from Djokovic and Fokina taking advantage of it and played perfectly.

@babygun - probably for the money or maybe there is still something in her and thinks that she can make a good comeback. But we all know that women retired early in their career in the last 5-10 years. Just like Ash Barty who retired just earlier, I think women are more prone of the wear and tear of this sports.
2959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Token Based Casino In Market Aggregator on: April 12, 2022, 11:22:09 PM
Fun token is the only casino based token that ranks high among the token-based casino right now it now ranks

Fun Token Rank #349

but new casinos with their own token are coming up like Betfury's BFG and Owl.game OWLDAO and many more coming is there a possibility of a breakthrough like Fun Token or other casino based token breaking into the top 100 will start a new trend in the casino industry, every casino will create their own token and will we have Token Based Casino section like NFT and Metaverse in Coinmarketcap or Coingecko.

As far as I can remember there was one before: Bitdice's CSNO but it didn't went very well. To be exact there was an accusations against them here.

So this is not the first time that we heared about casino based token, but I'm not sure how viable or successful it will be. Hopefully, they will as we all know that if they can offer their own tokens for gamblers, then maybe it will gain some attention.
