Kadalasan, ang mga coins na ginagamit ng mga whales para mag PUMP and DUMP ay ang mga low market cap coins dahil mas madaling ma-manipulate ang presyo nito. Kailangan lang nila ng mejo malaki laking capital para i-Pump ito at i-Dump pagkaraan ng ilang minuto.

Paano po natin maiiwasan ang ganitong kalakaran sa market? Any tips sa mga trader, holder and investor?
Ganito na ang kalakaran sa market dahil mababa pa ang market cap ng buong cryptocurrency market kaya mas prone ito sa Pump and Dump pero habang tumatagal, tumataas ang market cap ng buong crypto market at mas mahirap na para sa whales na i-pump and dump pero magagawa pa rin nila. Hindi na maiiwasan un.
Ang magagawa na lang natin ay:
1. Umiwas sa mga low market cap coins at magfocus sa mga top coins dahil mas mababa ang chance na ma-manipula ito ng mga whales dahil mas kakailanganin nila ng mas malaking capital para i-Pump ang presyo nito.
2. Think Long Term. Maging holder at magfocus sa mga top market coins. If di mo gusto ang ginagawa ng mga whales, wag kang maging trader pero maging holder ka na lang.

It seems that every three to four years cycle new altcoins always takes a position in top 20 list on coinmarketcap, those who are leading the top 20 of 2017 are done for right now, only very few remains,
This is true. I've seen coins like EOS, Bitcoin Cash, IOTA, NEM and XEM at the top 20 at 2017-2018 but right now they are either in the top 50 or top 100.

now it seems this is what's going to happen in 2024-2025 too
I think it will really happen. We've seen many new coins at the top already like DOT, SOL, Terra (back when the scam didn't happen) and some coins went down.
I believe that new coins will emerge out of nowhere. New projects will come, and they might reach the top 10. It's possible, since we've seen it already.

now tell me why investing in a new project a bad idea? Cos I plan to look into new projects for the future instead, what do you think?
I don't see investing in a new project as a bad idea.
What other is saying is that, investing into new project has a higher risk of failing compare to those old projects with high market cap already. A new project means it lacks community and supporters. You can still invest into new projects and there is nothing wrong with it. Just be ready if something bad happens like that "new project" that you invested your money with turned out to be a scam or rug pull.

I am also interested in promoting the best projects.

I would like your favorites.. come on!
Right now, none TBH.

NFT's hype is over already. NFT games aren't the trend anymore, and NFT art? Just recently, I've seen on Facebook this post regarding a particular NFT arts that is being sold in Opensea. If you know Goblintown, it is an NFT which has been minted for FREE but right now, the floor price is already 9 ETH. Just imagine you minted it for free, and you got 9 ETH in return :X. Like seriously, there are still investors who are still buying this ugly NFT arts out there.

I've been doing Dollar Cost Average ever since, even though the market is it at it's peak.

I've been constantly buying Bitcoin on a monthly basis. Waiting for the perfect timing to enter the market isn't working for me and for others here, that's why I stick to my plan which is to just buy Bitcoin on a monthly basis. As of now, I feel no panic, and I'm continuously accumulating Bitcoin for long term. I just hope that many investors filled their bags with not only Bitcoin but other top market cap altcoins as well Smiley.

Most of the match went head-to-head, but at the end of the match, Golden State Warriors were badly clogged. Boston won the first game by defending, attacking in the right places and playing really well, especially in the last quarter, they took the home advantage. Now Golden State has to win the second game at home and at least one away game. They made their job very difficult. They need to win the second game and recover, they don't have a choice.
The Warriors are one of the best teams in terms of closing the game, but in this one, they literally choked in the final minutes of the game, and they let the Celtics make a 17-0 run.

This is why the Celtics are a very difficult team to match-up with. Curry scored 21 points in the first quarter instead of getting pressured by it, they made an adjustment in it and just making his performance lower in the last 3 quarters. I think the Warriors really got the victory if they just didn't let the Celtics sink those threes in the final quarter because they got outscored 40 to 16 which do I think one of the worst quarters of the Warriors.

It's only Game 1 and the Warriors will make huge adjustments to their game style. I believe that they will take Game 2. Congratulations to the Celtics for stealing one game in the road and they gave the Warriors their first loss on their homecourt.

Is 27k - 28k the lowest of the lows it can get for 2022 and beyond?  Is it all going up from here on forth?
After being above $30,000 for a couple of days, we are now below it again. Looks like many don't want Bitcoin to reach above $30,000 Cheesy.

Anyway with what is happening right now globally, I believe that we might see Bitcoin go lower than $27,000-$28,000 TBH but only for a short amount of time because I think that we might go sideways for the next few weeks to months. I hate it but fundamentals greatly affects the market. One bad news might affect the whole market. With what is happening right now globally, I believe that investors will still be in extreme fear for the next month. The good thing though is that it tried to surpass the $30,000 price though it ended up as a false breakout. A good sign but not enough to say that we will go up this month.

Only my prediction though and I have a 50% chance of it to be correct and it's for fun only Cheesy.

sorry if my words are not good and also incomplete because this is my first experience paying using bitcoin by accident and it doesn't mean the clinic accepts payments using bitcoin but coincidentally the owner and he himself is a doctor and happens to be involved with bitcoin.

and my son's name: Muhammad Alvan Khaleed (male) and born on June 2, 2022 at 02:45.

And it's also my first time to create a Thread because of the unexpected and unforgettable experience
As I'm reading what you shared, I already know that your words are kinda incomplete at some point but it's understandable and it's because of your current feelings while posting this thread. The combination of excitement to share it here (because you paid thru Bitcoin which is very rare if you ask me) and the happiness that you already have a child. For sure this will be unforgettable and a few years from now, you will share this experience from you that you paid the doctor thru Bitcoin which is at that time isn't been accepted by many establishments.

Congratulations on your baby and I hope that it will grow like you, an investor. Maybe remove your son's name here because we are in the internet and that might cause you and your family trouble. Just for security purposes though.

Will it be worthwhile to hold and trade LUNC, and will LUNA 2.0 regain trust and position?
Trade either LUNC or LUNA for short term profits would be good but holding them for the long run? Nahhhh I'd rather invest into other tokens.

Regain trust? Whenever I see projects that are ending up like this or the like, most of them time they end up at the bottom and didn't recover anymore. I just don't know why the developers have the balls to make another blockchain project after what happened to their previous one.

I'm not saying that what happened in their past project will be the same in their current one but it happened already so there are doubts to the investors and thinking that "What if it will happen again?" etc. After all whether it is LUNA, LUNC or any project under Do Kwon, I will not invest into it.
3129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics. on: June 02, 2022, 03:13:31 AM
Celtics are going to be my favourite team in this final series. Warriors are highly the favourite team to win the first game according to bookmakers. I also think that Warriors are going to have a better start than Celtics. However, I think that Celtics are going to bring the score to a tie even if they lose two games in a row firstly. I don't expect Celtics to give up early like Mavericks did against Warriors. My total score prediction is a 4-3 win for Celtics. I feel like it is their time to become the champions now.
The word "Giving Up" isn't applicable right now because it is the NBA Finals already. Giving up isn't an option to both teams.

The defensive capabilities of the Celtics makes it hard to know which will win on this one. Even I have doubts with the Warriors right now and I'm curious on how they will deal with it. The first 2 games will be the most crucial ones because we will have a clearer picture of which team is better. Warriors' offense of Celtics' defense. There is also a famous quote in basketball that says "Defense wins championships" but let's see tomorrow Smiley.

Also, can the Warriors sweep it? There is a chance, I reckon.

In any case, Warriors might win first 3 games, Celtics wins game 4 and Warriors win game 5 for the confetti shower.
There is always a possibility for it to happen like in crypto but the chances of a sweep to happen? Less than 5% maybe and TBH, it will be boring if it will end up as a sweep. Fans want the NBA Finals to be more entertaining than the previous matches. I want to see a 7-game series, many analysts see this series to end in 7 games as well.

Minsan nakakatamad na rin kapag alam mong may malalakas na sayo tapos ipi-PK ka lang. Tapos pay to win na rin daw ang larong ito. Kawawa naman mga katulad kong umaasa lang sa F2P 😁.
Lahat naman ng games Pay 2 win di ba? Sa huli di naman tau pinepwersa na mag top up at saka may progress pa rin naman kahit hindi ka naglalabas ng pera dito sa laro.

May way para hindi ka ma PK or at least mabawasan ung chances na ma PK ka. Either lumipat ka sa peaceful pero boring na server or kumampi ka sa pinakamalakas na alliance sa server nyo. Sa server namin (server 72 Asia 2), peaceful ung server namin for a month na kaya malaya kaming nakakapagprogress ang problema nga lang nabobored na ung iba. F2P rin ako at di pa ako naglalabas ng pera sa laro. Sali ka lang sa pinakamalakas na alliance sa server nyo malaki progress mo Smiley.

Di pa rin pala nawawala bad status ko:
*Darksteel gain reduces 10%
*PvP status (Bad -988)
*Red ang character name

Sabi nila, mag kills lang daw ako ng mobs na mas mataas sa lvl ko. Pero nagawa ko naman na more than once. Ano pa na-miss ko?

Pasok ka sa Magic Square dun ka magpawala ng red name. Sa sitwasyon mo need mo pumatay pa ng 988 mobs na +10 or -10 sa current level mo.

They haven't lost at home this playoff.

Against the Nuggets, 4-1, they lost one at Nuggets homecourt, Memphis, 4-2, lost twice at Fedex home of the Grizzlies. 4-1 against the Mavs, lost once at AA arena.

So for them, home court matters. They feed on the energy of their fans.
That's one advantage of the Warriors as well that is why they are picked to be the champions this season. They are 9-0 on their home and they also have a good road record as well winning at least 1 game in each series. In this series, the Warriors have the homecourt advantage so if they will manage to defend their home and stay undefeated until the end they will end up winning it all.

On the other hand though, let's also take note that the Celtics are very impressive on the road with a record of 7-2 in this playoffs so there might be a chance that they might steal one on the road because of how impressive they are. 7-2 is no joke knowing that they are on the road. It means that they don't care about the audience and they will just play, play and play.

It's hard to know who will win in the first game but maybe we can just look on the numbers that has been posted on this site: LINK
Quote
Of all best-of-seven series in NBA playoff history through 2021, the winner of Game 1 went on to win the series 75.6% of the time (433-140).
Quote
Teams that were victorious in Game 1s on their home floor won their series 84.8% of the time (352-63). That higher number can be expected since the team with the better regular season record earns home-court advantage in a given series.
Quote
Teams that stole the first game of a series on the road won their series 51.3% of the time (81-77).
3132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: June 01, 2022, 03:15:34 AM
Back to Inoue and Donaire, I don't have issues on how prepared is the latter. In fact, I believe that he's more than ready for this rematch now. But the real question is, can he defeat Inoue?

According to Donaire, he is confident that he can now take down and deal with Inoue.

Well, as for any boxers, if the question asked to them is about their status of the fight, they will surely answer that they are prepared.

From what I see of Donaire, he knows very well the strategy to beat Inoue but the question is, how he will apply those strategies in the actual fight as that wasn't easy to unleash without meeting some certain factors.
In terms of strength indeed he must be completely sure of his strength because this can also be a precursor to his current spirit but the problem is that things like this are sometimes different from words and actions later.
Indeed, in this case I have high hopes for Donaire but on the other hand Inoue is still very strong in my opinion and indeed this is still unpredictable even though Donaire is highly favored

I disagree, Inoue is the one who's favored and in fact he's the favorite to win among the sports bookies but again, that's not a guarantee that Inoue is the one who will surely win because an upset can always happen anytime including this fight. As for Donaire, I know he have some strategies in mind for how to counter Inoue's movement but the latter also have those techniques too about countering Donaire's movement.

Both of them surely knows each other's weaknesses and strengths. It's a matter of who can put that successful blow first and who will be the one to exhaust first.
I want to bet with Donaire with this one because of his performance against Oubali but I think Inoue is just another boxer.
If you watch their first fight, Inoue is very agile, very fast and strong counter puncher.

Like you said though, upsets can happen and we've seen many fights already that ended up as an upset. I'm curious on how Donaire will bounce back after losing with him in the first fight. If I will predict with what will happen with this one, I think it will be a split decision to Inoue but I will not be surprised if an upset will happen. Smiley

What do you think who was in the wrong ?
I think both the bettor and the Boyle Sports were in the wrong.
It's the gambler that is wrong here
Maybe some here see what the Boyle Sports did was wrong because they took advantage of the bettor since they know that he is addicted to gambling already but I think it's part of their business to attract more gamblers for more profit. Of course I see it also as a wrong thing to do but if they really want to get some money, they will do it.

The problem with the gambler is that, yes he closed his account trying to fight his addiction but he failed to do it. He got attracted again by those free money to be used for him to bet. It's easy to say that "He might've ignored it and move on to his life" but we aren't in his situation. With what happened, maybe this is the only way for the gambler to beat his gambling addiction. I just hope that he learned from this incident.
3134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: May 31, 2022, 07:31:13 AM
I am seriously wondering the salaries of Heat players and how the management let their team be so limited? I respect their success so far but it is clearly not enough. I think, except the Dallas Mavericks, most limited roster was Miami's. Jimmy Butler is amazing and he did everything he could, but for championship they obviously needed much more from the rest of the team. I personally like Bam Adebayo but from a a 5 year / $163,000,300 contract player, Heat should have gotten more offensively. Generally, he is not a good offensive player, he should really improve himself. I cannot but feel bad for the Heat, even though Celtics deserved it fair and square, I feel like Heat's season shouldn't end here.

You can see the salary of the Miami Heat's roster here.

https://hoopshype.com/salaries/miami_heat/

Duncan Robinson who has $15,650,000 this season was not even having a good playing time, I don't understand the decision of the Heat,  he was good during the time Heat played the Lakers in the NBA Finals, but this playoffs, he was pretty limited only.
He is a defensive liability that's why he isn't playing that much this playoffs.

He played well in the Bubble yes and him and Herro are the ones who are doing the offense at that time aside from Butler but it's different now. Correct me but I think the Heat changed their way of playing to a more defensive one that's why they also added Lowry. Robinson is very awful when it comes to defense to the point that it weighs down his offensive capability. I mean yes he can shot threes and he is a three-point specialist but if he can't sink those threes, he is a liability in the court already.

I will not be surprised if he will get traded to another team because he doesn't fit to the Heat's playing style. Maybe he will fit to a more offensive minded team like Warriors.

Is buying bitcoin right now the same with buying later? I stopped buying because it looks like Bitcoin dips isn't over, imagine buying at 19k per Bitcoin, I think the whole idea of investment is when you are buying not running after the best coins in the market, buying them cheap is better or I don't get it?.
This is the reason why dollar-cost averaging is one of the best, if not the best strategy in buying Bitcoin.

We don't know if Bitcoin will go down or up right? Don't just buy Bitcoin all at once but buy in portions. You can buy weekly or bi-weekly or anytime you want but don't buy at once since you've already said that it might dip down more. It's proven that it is working already and it lessens your risk as well.
3136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 31, 2022, 02:08:04 AM
i think all depends of how well the Golden State "splash brothers" shots from 3 points.
Splash Brothers are long gone already because they are called now as "Lethal Weapon 3" Cheesy. At least let's add Poole into them because we already saw how good he is offensively.

I am not a fan of golden state warriors but they have been getting past the playoff teams quite easily the only tough one was against the grizzlies which ended 4 2 in their favor i think they will be the champions they deserve it.
I'm a Warrior fan but underestimating the Celtics is wrong.
Let's take note that the Celtics are one of the best if not the best defensive team right now and their 5 starters are even voted for defensive players of the year so I'm curious on how the Warriors will take the peskiness of the Celtics. This will be their toughest series for sure and if there is one advantage that the Warriors have against the Celtics, it's the experience in the NBA Finals since no one in the Celtics experienced it until now.
3137  Economy / Economics / Re: Enticing customers to make payment with crypto. on: May 30, 2022, 08:25:41 AM
Is this a possible way to entice customers who do not like to pay with crypto, Will offering discounts for goods when a customer pays with crypto or free gifts encourage and entice more customers to use their crypto for payment of goods? If I offer discounts which will encourage more of my customers to get crypto, how can I possibly sustain it for long to ensure that i don't run at a loss?

Giving discounts will be a good thing but if you will be at a loss by doing that then better not to do it. Another thing is that even you will give discounts to your customers, there is no assurance that they will really pay you in crypto though giving discounts isn't a bad idea as well.

As for me, giving discounts are not for long term especially when it comes to crypto because you might end up losing because of how crypto moves. Just let them buy using crypto for one time would be the best I guess and just let them use their crypto to buy at your store.

Nope and their solution is to just create a new blockchain Cheesy.

New chain is their solution to the problem that the Old Luna faced.

A quick google search on lunatic and it says "a mentally ill person". Well, it looks like it fits well with the community since the investors who are still supporting this project are mentally ill or in short "blind on what's happening".

Seems to be a cash grab from Do Kwon because he emitted a new coin and Terra Luna 1.0 and 2.0 will very likely end as failed coins.
You should not to.
Or you can if you are just finding for short profits. Just don't hold the coin for long run. As for me, f*ck Do Kwon. I will not give my hard-earned money to him. I will not be surprised if this project will fail again after what happened with the old Terra Luna.

~ A great game by Jimmy Butler, but he was one shot away from being a hero at the end when he missed that three.
Until now, I don't know why Butler took a three instead of taking a two and put it into overtime. It's a clear path to him and it's just him and Horford and no defenders in the paint. He wants to be a hero to the team but it didn't went the way he wants to and now it cost them their trip to NBA Finals.
I don't think being the hero was even on his mind when he decided to go for it. He probably wanted to finish it with the three because he knows he's too tired to let the game go to overtime and he is short on support. Unfortunately, he didn't take more time to set his feet before taking that shot. Still mad respect to him though.
If that's the case then I'll agree with you and you are right that he is short on support.
Herro which is a big help for them offensively is injured and now they are having a hard time having a second scorer that will help Butler offensively.

Respect to him though. This isn't the last time that he played like this. Just remember how he played against the Lakers in the Bubble where he carried the whole team to the point that he can't do it anymore and now he did it again even though he had an injury. Huge respect for Butler and I hope that the Heat will not trade him because he is a big piece to the team. Good game for them.

I think Golden State Warriors would be the champions this season regardless or whether it's the Heat or Celtics they play in the finals. Warriors in 5, would be my prediction.
Right now, I think they are the favorites to win the title this season. I'm a Warrior fan that is why I'll pick the Warriors in 6 games. One road win might change everything Smiley.
