3101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin Failed as Money? on: March 06, 2021, 01:58:35 PM
We are still far to a level that Bitcoin has been considered as MOney. Because instead of using it to pay bills, buying stuff, huge fees and delays give trouble, but people converting it to their local currency. A sad reality, right? I can't deny that because I'm doing the same.

As these small companies around us not accepting Bitcoin, we cannot enjoy Bitcoin as a currency but still considering this as a form of investment. I don't end up saying we failed already but the adoption isn't big enough to help it work. Maybe 10 years, 20 years, or even more.

@Distinctin, I think this is not a good news, TNT is an offensive team and even though they change their coach already, I guess Ray Parks would still become the main focal point of attack since he is an all around player which I think better than Pogoy.
Well,  I know it he was but it's now under the new coach, there will be a major changes for sure and I'm looking forward to that as I know it's for the good of the team.
With a good coaching, TNT will be able to utilize the TNT squad effectively, Castro, Parks and Pogoy are the big 3 and they can explode anytime.

I have high hopes on TNT this season but looks like with this news, I'm not believing anymore they'll be competitive as I expected.
Just believe and we shall see how improve the TNT this season. As long as Castro will remain healthy, I know they'll be able to give a good competition to the best teams in the league, the ball movement is different or better once Castro holds the ball and he needs to be surrounded by shooters as most of the time he can attract the defense to give an open spot for the shooters.
3103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: March 06, 2021, 09:42:01 AM
I hope TNT can still win games and will get into the Finals.

Ray Parks announced that he will not play in the upcoming season.

TNT Tropang Giga’s Bobby Ray Parks not seeing action this season


Quote
“It is with a heavy heart that I will have to excuse myself and not partake in this year’s PBA season due to personal reasons which in particular, my family,” wrote Parks.

I think with his absence, TNT will have a better ball movement and Poguy will get more touch especially in the 3 point shooting.
How about you, what are your thoughts, is TNT better without Ray Parks or not?
3104  Economy / Economics / Re: Pandemic: good for the bitcoin market or bad? on: March 05, 2021, 10:10:22 PM
The pandemic seems to be good for the market. My stock portfolio is up by at least 20% compared to the pre-pandemic levels. Here the real estate prices have risen by 20% to 30% during the last 12 months. Cryptocurrency has risen by 400%. Only bullion seems to be going down. Even the bank interest rates are going up (which was expected after all the stimulus measures announced by the government).
While other form of investment is going down and of course our economy is affected a lot, people find a way to protect their money and that is by investing in crypto. The good thing for those who really understand is that crypto is a good store of value for your money, choose bitcoin, hold and wait and experience what we experience now. These investors are smart, they know how bad the effect of the pandemic to our economy, hence they will always try to find ways to minimize the risk of their investment and bitcoin has been a good option.

Silence in this thread.
Gentlemen from the team, maybe some information about the project.  Smiley
What will be implemented in the near future.
I've been following this project especially in 2017 and 2018, but when they got delisted by bittrex (correct me if I'm wrong), their volume is gone.
The volume is very small (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/chrono-tech/markets/), I guess they need to work on the project more so this project will be able to recover, and again if I'm not mistaken, it's ICO price was 100 usd per token and now it's down to $7.80 only.
3106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are people still buying XRP? on: March 04, 2021, 09:45:56 PM
The situation with XRP is highly ambiguous. Even if the project does not get out of litigation, as long as there are chances for it, then there are chances to make good money in case of a positive outcome. Of course, the risks are very high. If you look at it as a whole, the project essentially sold its coins for a very long time without any outside interference, and now suddenly the SEC decided to clamp it in a vice.

XRP will entire pumped high or will dump a bit. There's no reason for the price to dump more in case the decision is against them, I think the project will not be stopped, instead it will be require to pay a penalty which I think Ripple can afford since it's a billion dollar marketcap already.

Can you give me a link about this certain project?
3107  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Data suggesting more than 95% traders are losing on: March 04, 2021, 01:46:15 PM
Not really a thing to believe because I was thinking that the majority of the traders are in good and profiting. Because I believe that they are taking the advantages of using the trading tool available and works effectively, but somehow it just results like this? It never works great.

I'm not sure how reliable it was but that's it, the result is really bad and the more it discourages people to go in trading rather than to be a holder. I have the plan to become a full-time trader once I have enough capital but this gives me worries what if I just ended up nothing like this 95% of traders who suffered losses.
3108  Economy / Speculation / Re: ARE WE STILL BULLISH OR BEARISH ? on: March 02, 2021, 02:40:39 PM
10%, 20% corrections and recovery back shortly, that was not a bearish at all but this is a preparation for a long-term Bullrun and this what I observe in the market. If that we saw a 50% correction, that possibly means that we are in the bearish season.

I don't see a reason why we should be panic every time we heard FUDs, these people telling us that the bear season will come is only be their opinion. Well, I respect that but I don't think we need to believe it because what we know is that the market remains unpredictable and all the ups and downs are still inevitable. 
3109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do I convince people that Bitcoin isn't a financial pyramid? on: February 28, 2021, 02:17:22 PM
It is hard to explain to people about cryptocurrency if they don't want to know things about it, there are a lot of people who don't believe in bitcoin because of thinking that for us to earn money, we have to work it hard, we have to work in real life so we could get paid, that is what the people in our country believe in their lives. So if you are going to explain to them about bitcoin and how can we go with bitcoin, they sometimes get uninterested in it, I know this because I already notice and recognized some of my friends about it when I am talking about cryptocurrency to them.
You can't argue with a no-coiner or one who does not believe in what the good and bad of crypto can do for the current economy.
That's true, it is hard to argue with that kind of people, those who don't even try to listen to other's side.
And that is more likely not believable if they don't see it with you. It sometimes to think that many people ask you back, does it gives you a better life? They are eying you at first before they will believe you and that is why we should have to prove to them that they wrong and so they change their mind, otherwise, they keep negative and tells you it was just a scam thing.

That is why I don't tell them and I don't give them a reason to blame me if the situation will fail or when are in crisis. Let's wait for the moment that they will come to us, and have them explain as this is a sign that they show some interest and willing to listen to us.
3110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: First time scammed , very frustrated on: February 28, 2021, 01:51:33 PM
Once you're scammed or fooled, that's the end for your holdings. The least thing you can do is to learn from what happened and to avoid not being a victim again. If there are possible ways to regain your losses, do every bit of it but as you are trying to get yours back, never forget what brought you into such situation. With that, you'll be wiser next time. Scam projects and the likes won't stop as long as there are people who are still falling for their scheme. Always make precautions such as asking to other people if something is bothering you or simply if you are not sure with what you are doing. That won't cost you much.
It is gone and we have to move on. It gives us learning not to fully give trust to someone we know online unless if you have a lot of transactions done before. Because mostly scams happen in telegram group, someone pretending to be good and be consistent with what he/they promise but once your trust got caught, that will be the time they start to demand you and finally scammed thing to happen next.

Just invest xxx and I give you returns twice, it a common scam trick and most newbies had become a victim this broken and very attractive offerings.
3111  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Suggest me what to do now! on: February 27, 2021, 04:08:27 PM
I am here almost 3 years+++. Now I have some experience in trading but I can't depend on my research only. Currently, I am holding almost $2k and looking for making investment to trade and earn some profit to increase my total funds.

I understand that you know about trading but unfortunately, it doesn't work well. It is a big question why? and for that long, there is nothing it happens to you but instead, I hear you still complaining.

I suggest examining what went wrong with your trading knowledge, strategy, or something to say that you are just relying on others to decide on your behalf. Or you are lazy enough to work improving your skills and don't have the courage to try others which is very important when you wanted to grow and see more passive results.
3112  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price is 47k$, is good time to invest ? on: February 27, 2021, 03:41:34 PM
hi guys i want to invest in BTC , the BTC price now is 47k$ do you think the price can drop more than that ?
If you have trust in Bitcoin, then don't hesitate to invest it. $47k is quite low, honestly. I know many people are waiting for a crash and we are now( this is just a short crash as it goes back high again).

But I don't want to have blame if I'm wrong. It was you who could decide, holders will suggest "buying" but weak hands will say "don't buy, dump to follow". But much better to observe first the market behavior, it does not need to rush because it sometimes becomes a trap.

I'm following the thread for more update, and the good news about PundiX is it's now back to the top 100 ranking in CMC.

3114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: February 27, 2021, 02:40:02 PM
lakers are in trouble this year they are heavily relaying on LeBron, playing him in every minute possible because Davis is currently out injured for at least four weeks. Now they cant rest LeBron for the playoffs.
and if they rest him the Lakers would drop down in the standings quick. They’ll prob rest him for a game here and there but they need him now more now than ever  they risk not reaching Playoffs rather then just rest him for good.

It's obvious by now, the Lakers are weak and they have been exposed big time. Lebron is not getting any younger although he can still play like it used to be, sooner or later that wear and tear will come into the picture. So no rest for him, means more trouble for the Lakers until Davis play.

I think they can still make the playoffs, but they are going to drop in the standing and will not be the favourite to win back-to-back.

This is the mid season lul, when AD gets back and Lebron turns it up a notch like he always does people will start singing a different tune.  Lebron always does this mid season, and people talk about him not being able to "hack it".  I'm far from a laker fan (knick fan here) but this is how lebron roles.  He is in mid season cruise control right now.

He's been in the league for many years and I also observed the same, even in his team before, his team does not necessarily finish as the number 1 overall best team in the league but in the playoffs they are dominating, so we will probably the same scenario this coming playoffs but I believe without Davis things are also different from our expectation.
Most team turn on the gas when playoffs time, I think lebron already knew that they just have to secure the playoffs spot , because its in the playoffs that matters, your right when davis returns it will be a different team, I like how they are planning for the playoffs, its no use to play Davis in the regular season now, reserving him for the playoffs is the best move.
Lebron's mission now is to win championships after championships. he is already a fulfilled individual player as he already won season MVP but the biggest achievement is always the championship and that's what the Lakers needs to take care in the playoffs.

Davis is still not so consistent, we are still seeing the injury problem that his problem in his previous team, but that's alright, he will be back soon and Lakers will be fully healthy again.

You can find the list of the best betting sites in the Philippines here: http://sportstatist.com/best-betting-sites-in-the-philippines-eng/

Thank you for sharing mate, but unfortunately none of these site I have used for sports betting, I guess they are not crypto sportsbook, correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, you are right - these are just popular betting sites in the Philippines. If you are specifically interested in cryptocurrency betting sites, you can find their list (TOP20) here: http://sportstatist.com/top-20-cryptocurrency-betting-sites-eng/

Now that's better, I know maybe 80% of the sites in in the list.

This number 2 in the list https://nitrobetting.eu/.. I'm not familiar with it, I thought it's https://nitrogensports.eu/, they also provide markets for PBA.
NitroBetting is the new website of NitrogenSports, which is made on a modern betting platform and is designed for greater convenience for players and provide a better service for online sports betting.

But https://nitrogensports.eu/ still exist, does it mean both of these sites are running together or the https://nitrogensports.eu/ (which is the old site) will be terminated soon?
I think that they will exist in parallel with each other for a very long time, so there should be no problem with this. However, if you are planning to register for the first time on the site of this company, then of course it is better to choose a newer site for this purpose, since it is more modern and better in all respects. More info about this you can find here: http://sportstatist.com/nitrobetting-review/
I'm also not aware of the new one, why did they create a new one if they are all running. Both of them offered sports betting, right?
I know some gambling sites with the same owner but they have different games, like PD and Stake, PD does not have sports but Stake has.

3116  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much lower you think BTC can go in this drop ? on: February 26, 2021, 11:18:54 PM
Hi Guys i would like some opinions, in this drop how low can btc go before it starts going up again , any idea what is the resistance or what could the bottom floor be for it ? I was hoping around 40-42k but it seems that it does not want to go below 47k , what do you think ? Thank you
I consider $40k up is just a correction, not literally we call it a start of the bearish season. But if the trend to dump below that line, that we are finally seeing back the bear season. However, I don't think that it drops below $20k ( I hope I was not wrong).

Anyway, much better to be prepared for everything and much better as well to have the reserve money to buy more once the market badly dips once again. I know many investors are waiting for that moment to come particularly those early sellers.
3117  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Learning is better than Following on: February 26, 2021, 10:53:30 PM
^ That is definitely right for me.
Why you will follow other opinions if you can decide from your own. Remember that in trading experience is the best teacher after all. Once you encounter failure, just try to make sure that it will not happen next. Following other's opinions for me is a kind of cheat because you copied or stolen the idea from others for your own benefit. Nevertheless, this is a case to case basin only,
When I got into trading, I decided to take the risk alone but this is really hard. That is why I'd ask someone who is mean to be an expert or just have knowledge about trading. He is a friend of mine and I think there is no problem with that but if you are talking to someone not known to you, that might never work.

A reason why some people (just like me) doing this is to learn more. Will Youtube is enough but much more detailed if someone will teach you personally but this doesn't mean that we have to rely on them always. We must have to stand our own feet also.
3118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Patience isn't everything on: February 26, 2021, 10:23:14 PM
Patience is still a fundamental quality. Impatient people want to get everything at once, they think that success and easy money in the crypto world is a reality, but in fact, rush is the enemy, and only a few manage to make a profit in a short period of time. You won't be able to become rich quickly; you will have to go through both victories and losses.

I think that the best weapon of a trader is self-development, prudence, calmness and patience. Without it, annoying mistakes can be made that cannot be corrected later.

This is so true, some had learn while I suggest everyone has to follow as it's not necessary to learn from costly mistakes if we already have a tip to follow. Investing is very risky, it should be carefully plan and the most important is you are physically and mentally ready to pulled your strategy effectively.
3119  Economy / Speculation / Re: Don’t Panic II on: February 26, 2021, 10:10:20 PM
Don't panic because this trend is normal,  and we have seen a lot of dumps before and the fact that we survive until now, that means we know how to control our emotion again. There are bullish and bearish trend, let's play our cards effectively. It's been days that bitcoin is dumping and I believe it could dip lower than the current price, maybe at $30k again or more going down to $20k, but we should remember the words "DON'T PANIC", that is very important in situation like that.
3120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Pillar token discussion on: February 25, 2021, 10:31:52 PM
Just one of the old coins I held before.

I have not followed the update of this project but I'm in this thread to see if there are people who will share about the project.
Based on the CMC's record, the price still has not recovered yet and it has not pump yet during the bull run. It's big run was on January 2018 when it reached 1.5 usd but with the current price of 0.02 usd, it looks like this coin will not break or even get close on its ATH soon.
