and who knows, Lebron might get traded.
Honestly, I want to see this happen Grin Maybe the thought of getting kicked out would spark a new fire in his belly. Unfortunately, I don't think the Lakers have the guts to do that.


Exactly, Lebron being a hall of Famer won't be easily ditched out by the Lakers, that would not help his reputation and the Lakers itself. His numbers are still good, it's just that his teammates are inaccurate, maybe they have to start changing the coaching staff.

It's why newbies in trading are always advised to only use money they can afford to lose because making losses while trading is something that will happen throughout a person's trading career.

Yes, and these newbies have no idea what this trading means. Most of them has been influenced by social media, many promotional ads mentioning good and high return upon trading, and these newbies take the bait.

I think this is the time to stop believing of what we saw online as these people never know exactly how trading works. And I think we need to help these newbies realize the risk in trading without backup knowledge coz it is certainly different if we have these things and the result too opposite.
2963  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is going up during war? on: March 01, 2022, 11:14:35 PM
The price went down before the war started giving the opportunity for the investors to buy. Like be just a sort of coincidence, perhaps, we don't know Russia will start it or even Ukraine.

People will not consider the war as the reason why they stop investing. No, they'll go for what seems to be the best and in fact, the covid-19 crisis hasn't even stopped us, it eventually grew far and reach the ATH. This is the reality and to see that Bitcoin dumps and sometimes drops due to the demand. People are still buying which increases demand and so we see the price moving up as well.
2964  Economy / Trading Discussion / PROFIT must not be top priority in trading, instead of LEARNING first. on: March 01, 2022, 02:18:46 PM
I understand how bad if we lose money on our first trade but I think we have to understand as well that not all went too easily. There is something we need to change and instead of focusing on how to earn money, it supposes we have to focus on how to enhance our knowledge and skills first. For the moment that we have all of these things, it can be easy for us to make a profit in the market...it guarantees nothing but nobody was able to succeed in the absence of these things.

On the other hand though, its quite shameful to the team if they will lose to the Blackwater team so I guess the streak continues Cheesy.

I think losing is just normal, and eventually, Blackwater will win because they are so desperate for a win, they will work every game to improve their chances of winning. I don't know when the streak will be over but I know them being winless will not be forever.

Northport vs Blackwater, the hottest team vs the coldest team in the PBA.  Smiley
Yes they will win I believe on them but not this season I guess. They will continue their losing streak until next season.
I just hope that they will get a very good player coming draft pick and let it stay with the team. If the owner really wants to continue his stint in the PBA then at least build a team that can at least enter the playoffs.

NorthPort vs. BlackWater. I will bet for Blackwater with this one Cheesy. JK JK!!

Not surprising to see this since they don't have reliable shooters and potential stars on their team because if there's someone step up and provide quality performance they trade it on much stronger teams so I always expect them to lose. I will also bet on Northport this time so let see if we can see a good game and they can prove to the PBA fan like us that we are wrong about them.

Maybe at this time, we will see some upset?

Northport is on a winning streak, they are a good team and so everyone will be betting on them.
Try to have some fun, maybe bet on the Blackwater Moneyline because Northport might not play hard here knowing they will be playing against the wosrt team in the PBA.

This could possibly happen but I don't think Northport will not play hard since if they lose on this their winning streak will end. For sure there players want to retain this since this is good milestone and confidence builder to their team so I guess Blackwater cannot get easy win for this match up but miracle can possibly happen and they can upset the Northport fans for their performance in that game.

Northport needs to win, they are not in a good standing, so they will certainly play hard in this game.
As you can see in their ranking. https://pba.ph/standings, they are in the number 9 spot and losing one game is big for them.

They might not be covered but they'll win this game.

The spread by the way is only -6.5 for NP.

In a desperate attempt to try and keep the team afloat, the Lakers have released Deandre Jordan and plan to sign D.J. Augustin.  They're saying that Jordan will likely go on to play for the 76ers, who seem to be amassing as much talent as they can to make a run with Joel Embiid, who is playing the best basketball of his career while managing to stay healthy.  I'm not sure if this would be a good move for the Sixers or not, but James Harden and Deandre Jordan are both Brooklyn Nets survivors now of the KD/Kyrie pairing and might be able to bond over that shared experience...

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/33394673/philadelphia-76ers-emerging-frontrunners-bring-deandre-jordan

Perhaps they know that they need another big guy to back up Joel. Initially they have Drummond to do that but he was involved in the trade and was doing good with the Nets right now. But DJ is no longer at his prime, so I don't know if he can cover Joel or even help the Sixers. Anyhow, it's good to see that he can still get into a good team despite being released by LA.

Jordan won't mess up the 76ers chemistry, he will only be a reserve and will be waiting for his time to play, mostly it will be Embiid who will be used as their big man but if they like to keep him healthy in the playoffs, they need to give him rest and not give him a long minutes when in the court, we know that without Embiid 76ers will surely struggle.

That means we need thorough research and wait for the projects to show how they perform before investing. But sometimes, some projects have a good start, people make-believe because of what they saw somehow, they'll turn into an exit scam. Like these meme coins, like ICO, IDO, and so many projects that are turned to a scam after gaining demand and trust from the community. We can't avoid scams no matter what we do, it some time we fail upon detecting them that was the truth.
2968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: February 28, 2022, 01:18:17 PM
Canelo has been thru many weight divisions in his career and now he will go up again and face another title holder though he isn't popular isn't he?
Anyway, Canelo as usual is the pick to win in this fight but there is still a chance for Bivol to win (quite low though maybe around 1-5%).


I think Bivol is the champion, 5% is very low here considering that Canelo is moving up in weight and he might not be able to carry his power with him, or he might slow down. I think Canelo will win but I would not underestimate his opponent who is a champion.

Last night, there was a great game like GSW - Mavericks. GSW were the favourite team to win this game and they started the game very well too. The first quarter was really superb for them. But the last quarter was really shocking to me. Mavericks had an insane quarter and an extraordinary effort brought them a win by 107-101. Doncic's performance was really impressive and he made a big contribution to this win. He had 34 points and 11 rebounds. Curry couldn't carry the team by himself this time.

Doncic is an extraordinary player, he is on his MVP level again and I think he really has a chance here. Mavericks now have different attackers, the addition of Dinwiddie   was really huge for the team and he was consistent in the previous games also. And by the way, Luka almost had a triple double here, just short 1 TO for 10 TO,  Grin

It will be a very tough match for anyone against Luka because his basketball IQ is very high. And with Dinwiddie, it open up the floor space for their shooters. So it's good to bet on Mavericks if they are the underdog on the game. Curry did his best, but Luka was too much. They just had to be very consistent to win more games.

I notice that too, that was a great decision to trade KP because he was inconsistent with the Mavericks. They had already a legit center, not necessary he will score like KP because the Mavericks are surrounded with shooters. I guess they are an improve team this season.

Applying other's strategies isn't effective all the time so it would be better to learn how to deal with the movement of the market though it will take a long process of learning. You should know as a trader how to do the technical analysis so you'll know the steps that you would take basically the right decision on when to sell or when to buy. You could create your own strategy through your trading experiences.
Yet, mentorship is quite good but their knowledge and skill can't be copied fully and even how many years we are in their side it is certainly we can't like them coz there are so many factors that could affect it.

*decision making
*mindset
*emotions (very common)

No matter what we do, even having the toughest trader in the world will teach us still, it won't guarantee our success, especially in the time that we do our own alone.

2972  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What are your plans for the 2022 crypto market? on: February 25, 2022, 09:53:00 PM
2022 starts with a negative trend, I hope the market doesn't drop again so I will hold some coins that I make long-term targets, my plan in 2022 is to invest 30% for old coins such as MATIC, BNB and TRON and 70% for speculation with invest new listed coins.
Well, holding isn't a new strategy but people do this for some reason and one of these is to keep safe from losing. But this eventually works for those who have patience but for those who are not, it was a big sacrifice for them and they can no longer hold it, they will sell them.

Investing in the right coins is the best idea to take and only invest the amount that we can afford to lose. But I simply don't say we have to put everything in crypto alone, having it spread to outside crypto-like in the stock market seems to be the best.
2973  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your expectation on: February 25, 2022, 09:31:52 PM
We have heard all the news about countries deciding to make bitcoin as legal, the latest being Russia and Ukraine as they both are also in some political problem. Obviously with this new statement that has been made on bitcoin status in those countries, it could be regulated by the government.
What is your expectation of bitcoin ?
Adoption has been widespread and what happened to Russia and Ukraine is not because of it, it was a different story but the effect in the crypto market is big. But I'm not seeing this will lead to change how Bitcoin is known to us having a decentralized platform, it will still remain in that position.

What I'm expecting of Bitcoin is that sooner or later more countries will adopt this and the price may grow multiple times. But I was afraid that the manipulation may cause more volatility in the market than we thought.
2974  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which is better on: February 25, 2022, 09:21:15 PM
If you are given two choices to choose from Azbit and coinsbit exchange which one will it be? I've not use any and I'm having difficult time passing KYC verification on coinsbit exchange but I want users experience about these two exchanges.
Honestly, I don't try them and I don't give the trust, especially if they are asking KYC. There are many exchanges that exist now and many of them are now asking for KYC verification that many traders don't want it. But if it comes the moment that we have no choice, still I'd never choose them, I'd rather choose those exchanges we know that can protect us and can make our funds safe.

Azbit and Coinsbit haven't yet performed well, I guess they need some more exposure and market promotion to get attention and gain trust from the community.
2975  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A thing worst than "don't trade with your emotion" a trader should avoid on: February 25, 2022, 09:01:12 PM
You don't wonder that OP as many YouTubers will talk nicely as they are somewhat promoting something and they are paid for that. you have found it out from reality and yes, many of them never know how trading will work in actual trades. Indeed, they are right saying "don't trade with your emotion" and for them also to control it otherwise, failure will certainly come to them.

I don't even follow any of them (Youtubers), I just make my own strategies as trading is full of discoveries. And I also think that some strategies may not work all the time and so we need to figure out what will be the best.
2976  Economy / Speculation / Re: The long term way is down on: February 25, 2022, 08:30:05 PM
After seeing the fact that crypto is still red in 3 months, then this makes me realistic, I lost more than $2000 because the coins I held like MATIC, Shiba and BNB dropped more than 30% in 3 months, and from now on I will sell immediately when the profit target has been reached.
You look only in the span of three months.

But for the past 2 years, the crypto market has grown that much. And if you're in losses because you've missed selling when you're in profit. It's likely that you have waited for a bigger gain despite that your profits were visible.

That loss will really have you sell when you do maybe in the next few months.
I could see that this person is too impatient and then only he/she think is all about gaining a profit without understanding the volatility of the market.

Well, it was not new to use hearing this thing, many people will complain and they keep complaining about they are not satisfied with the 2 months in a bad experience but not even give complement to almost 2 years in bullish. It was to say that many people are just wanted easy money and they'll think after investing they will earn.

Maybe let's wait for the official update, but given the situation, they will likely postpone games because of the on going crisis, I mean you can't have fun when there's a war, besides sports and sports betting is just to entertain us. Right now, it's time to pray that the war will stop so people will live in peace.

Eyeing on the Clippers vs Lakers game tomorrow, what's the pick?

Clippers here, Lakers is a team that will only let you down most of the time, so go with the team that is even undermanned but still playing like a playoff team. Lakers is -1 at home, it looks like it's trying to attract some bets, I am seeing this as a trap to be honest.

Not a Lakers fan but I think I will go and bet with Lakers -1, yes you're correct with that statement that most of the time they are inconsistent which is why they got bullied to a much weaker team. But we'll see how would they perform tomorrow, I got this feeling that they can somehow get over with this.

2nd bet: Heat -5.5 against the Knicks, everyone have rested well from the All Star weekend but the roster of Heat are much more capable compared to Knicks.

Good luck with the Clippers bet, I think Davis is still out, but if Lebron and Westbrook will play with good production, then maybe the Lakers will win here. Besides, they are playing at home, so they have a bigger chance of winning. As for me, I'm sitting this game.

It is sometimes we can't decline such impact to the economy make it was holders will decide to sell especially those who are living in Russia and Ukraine. I couldn't imagine how long this conflict went gone and I'm afraid if this could take longer the more dumps to see it really possible. But still, I'll keep myself prepared for what gonna happen next, and yet I'm still holding until it is needed.

For now, I was monitoring the market trend, I have no plan of buying yet until the time where this issue has been over.
2980  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Words of advice on: February 25, 2022, 09:59:34 AM
Most people who are members of bitcointalk already know this. However the general public has no idea. Basically crypto was out for over 10 years and yet people  are still getting their funds stolen.

Even people who buy a hardware wallet, they end up just giving their seed to someone else. Or people who still use text messages as 2fa. Or people who sell their bitcoins for some scam NFT or scam alt coin.

It happens everyday because before you get into crypto you need to look into security first. However most people care about the profits first and security later.
Unfortunately this is just the way humans are, they look forward to what they can gain but they never think about what they could lose, and this is a huge mistake, because what we can earn in this market is just a potential while what we can lose already belonged to us, with this in mind it would make more sense for people to worry a lot more about all the ways in which they could lose their money and how to protect themselves instead of researching ways to earn money, but unfortunately this is not the case, and this is why we see people being scammed everyday in the forum.
Greediness is what we called it and those who have that sense in mind thinking to make money as fast as possible, the more likely those who lose more. Definitely, they are prone to get scam and surely they will take the bait for they will think this is the answer to their ambitious belief. While for us who knows the sentiment of the market, will make no chance to get scammed but for those who are innocent and greedy people, ain't no doubt about it.

As a piece of advice, knows your investment so well. Nothing could save us but just ourselves.
