3141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 11, 2021, 11:33:08 AM
But don't underestimate Caleb, as he very well know that he is the underdog here.
And he is trash talking, so he should show what he's got under his sleeves.
Otherwise, if he will not put a good fight, people will not believe on him anymore.
Upsets can happen, but this one seems not to be included in this category. Let us see...
But usually a trash talker is lose due to his full confidence Grin Plant's career wouldn't end if he lose with Alvarez in this fight, most people know Plant's will lose but he still got respected by all his supporters. He's not only created to fight with Alvarez isn't? He can fight with another good boxer and gain more reputation.

The odds is only 1.09 for Alvarez it's not attractive for me to bet, as it's not worth to take the risk.
It depends on the skills of the fighter as we have some champions who are good at trash-talking, good example is Floyd Mayweather Jr., he is a very smart fighter, it doesn't matter to him if people call him boring as long as he makes tons of money in boxing and was able to retain his undefeated record.

This fight could be close and could extend to 12 rounds and going to be back and forth fight. With no clear winner. That's how I see it, to go the judges to settle the winner.

If this fight goes to the judges' scorecards, I can see that there is already a clear winner as that means Crawford was able to take the punches of Porter and we know that Crawford base is the better boxer based on the previous matches and that is his advantage on why I believe that he will win.

IMO, it would be fun to watch if someone will be knockdown, I still have a hangover on the Wilder vs Fury fight, I like that scenario of fight to be seen in this fight.

I'm sure TNT will adjust in game 5 as they want to win that game. It's really a bad loss for them, their worst so far this conference but I'm sure it will not happen anymore. Maybe TNT has a some hangover on how they were able to dominate the SMB in game 3, but bounce back is real, SMB just do what they should and that is killing TNT in game 4.

Tonight, the line would be available and I think SMB will be listed as slight favorite only.

I agree Kabayan! TNT will adjust, Coach Chot expect the kind of adjustment SMB will give them after that win last game 3, see all the veterans with extended minutes inside, that's the SMB we used to love they are all there to lift each other and to play together.
Now it's time for Chot Reyes to do his job, same deal with Leo Austria. Not everything is in the hands of the players, but coaches' design plays are very important.

We might expect TNT to counter and not to allow SMB to bully them with that tight defense. They've got the talent and they know that somehow they can match everything. They just need to prepare harder.

Aggressiveness with control, Players wise both teams have a winning combo not undersize or lack of talents if advantages, both deserve the win.


I doubt Tautua would do the same contribution he did in game 4, things will be different in game 5, TNT will be more aggressive with their defense and they will once again impose their effective strategy against SMB. As far as this series goes, I only see one game where SMB really dominate, the other 3 games, it was TNT who were dominating but sometimes they are careless which resulted to a heartbreaking loss.

Before entering the market ensure you have done your own research and you have fully gotten important informations needed to help you do your analysis. You have to be well disciplined to make you succeed in the market and remember being patient enough always pays out. Never you try to go against the trend. Do not invest what you cannot afford to lose. Play safe
In addition to that, it is also a must that first and foremost, you should prepare yourself to take the risk. Crypto trading is certainly more risky than simply holding so you should develop first trust and confidence so you'll be ready to take the risk. Crypto trading needs more patience and persistency because not all the time things will work out in favor of you. There will always be a market crash every time that is definitely inevitable so you have to deal it more on a positive way. If you think you already developed this, then you can start building your experience.
3145  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What if the founder of Ethereum sells all the Ethereum he has in his wallet? on: October 10, 2021, 04:44:14 PM
I don't think such thing can happened
Anyways like we all know Ethereum is
A crypto currency, a digital money in that
Matter, at any point of time if the
Founder wish to sell it anyways
Life still continue with other
Crypto.
Well, he has all the right to sell his ethereum he has in his wallet because its owned by him and not ours. But i don't think he'll probably sell all of them altogether. He might sell only a portion of them. If he can make profits with that, then why not? After all, we invest and hold for the sake of profits and now that its already in front of you, then grab it. For me, when i see to it that my target selling price is already achieved, then i should start selling some of them. Maybe he has a better plan after that that will also yield better profits.
3146  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto will rival or replace fiat in 10 years? on: October 10, 2021, 03:53:26 PM
76% of finance professionals believe that digital assets “will serve as a strong alternative to, or outright replacement for, fiat currencies in the next 5-10 years,” according to Deloitte’s annual global blockchain survey.

Is there any possibility that this could happen or this was just another speculation that is impossible to believe, but if we are going to look at the percentage of finance professionals that believe on the possible replacement of fiat with digital assets I think we are in 90% basis in favor of rival or replacement of fiat. Show me your comments about this news guys if you believe or not with this possible replacement?
Don't you think 10 years from now is too far and with little years from now the Fiat mode of transactions will be gone and the cryptocurrency market will dominate the transaction system making bitcoin to surge high because more investors will come to the cryptocurrency market to increase the market cap.
Yes. Fiat might slowly lost its value but that won't mean that decentralized crypto will replace the paper money. The government won't allow that to happen. There are high chances that they will create their own centralized digital currency so that it will still cater to the needs of the people. But in terms of investment, the government's digital currency will be no good at all so investors will surely find ways to access bitcoin and other crypto coins to buy and hold them for long term.
3147  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana was down for several hours on: October 09, 2021, 11:24:45 PM
I think it's just one of the things we experience in a project that is more still at the infancy stage. It will get better with time
Solana will always have the chance to grow more in the future and there's no doubt no it. Let it experience its own dumps because its a  natural thing in this crypto market. No project would ever pump so fast without even having some minor dumps in its first stages. Solana will always recover from any dumps because it is one of the most anticipated projects for now that has a great community that support it and has a great team that is actively working on its process. If you are now convinced with it, then having it in our portfolio will definitely turn into big profits in the future.
The same thought.
I even hold a few Solana in my portfolio just for the hope that someday it will grow and cut my earning and hold again the rest. Yes they are, they had a great team that actively having progress right at this moment so there is a good chance that someday it will be grown fast like other previous projects that have its own blockchain. One of the best promising coins and I think I will not hesitate on it to hold a  large part of my portfolio, everyone who will read this will simply not follow because of what I have said, just do your own research before putting your money.
Exactly that's the first thing to do. Even a lot of investors have believed in the potentials of Solana, but it will always give you an advantage to know more the coins well you plan to invest. Solana has its own way of making us more thrilled and excited. There might be some time that it will experience dump moments but it should never make us worried. We already know that all coins have been doing that and yes, its certainly a normal one. But that won't stop us from trusting Solana because it has a bright future ahead so buying and hold it would be very perfect. Maybe we should be more patient instead while waiting for its peak.
3148  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is Bitcoin trading? can Bitcoin trading profitable without having lost? on: October 09, 2021, 10:22:57 PM
It is never possible to trade without loss because you will not always be able to do accurate analysis when it comes to trading analysis. Most people make mistakes when it comes to trading but it is very difficult to get accurate statistics because there are so many sectors of trading, now when it comes to bitcoin trading, it can be said that bitcoin trading is much easier than other trades. Bitcoin trading is much more profitable than other trades but bitcoin trading is often a matter of time before you can make a certain investment every day.
And even you do accurate analysis.

You're still likely to lose with some unexpected news that will come and it will be against your analysis. Even the best of the traders, they're also having some problems with the market that makes them incur losses.

Trading with a high percentage of win rates in trades is better to hear and as well as low percentage of losses.
Trading with profits will always be a way better than trading with frequent losses. But bitcoin trading with no losses will always be unrealistic. Because no matter how good or expert you are in trading or in any aspects in life, you will never make it perfect. And its fine, because that will be your motivation to always do better in the future. Although there are more losses in trading more particularly with newbies, but believe me the profits you'll gain will always be worth it and rewarding.
3149  Economy / Economics / Re: When will the role of fiat currency disappear against crypto. on: October 09, 2021, 09:33:55 PM
Currently, there are many usd-based stablecoins such as, usdt, busd, usdc and maybe many others.  To be honest, I used to think that crypto would completely eliminate the usd's dominance of the world economy but I was wrong, it turns out that usd is now evolving to crypto (stablecoins).  What do you think, whether in the future bitcoin or other crypto can replace the role of currency in each country and leave fiat currencies such as usd, euro, yuan and others.
Probably never, the scenario you are describing is probably the best possible one for bitcoin, and the only way for this to happen is if a massive crisis appeared and people went through incredible suffering and they woke up to the fact that fiat currencies caused the crisis and from that moment on decide to use bitcoin.

But it is very unlikely that things will turn out that way as governments can manipulate the media to spread lies and put the blame elsewhere, so I think that for the foreseeable future we need to get used to the idea that fiat will be around for a long time.
Fiat will always be in the picture no matter what. And even if bitcoin will create massive adoption in some countries, but it will never replace fiat from being a global currency. And if things get worse because of the inflation caused by fiat, i know the government will definitely create their own digital currency that is fully backed by them because as much as they can, they will never let a decentralized currency rule over fiat. Bitcoin might be coexist with fiat in the future but it will never replace fiat for sure.
3150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the biggest threat to Bitcoin? on: October 09, 2021, 09:07:31 PM
There are things that makes an impact in bitcoin but some are not should be considered as threat. Here are the examples that I could think of: FUD, Price manipulation, Pump and Dump and banning of it in some countries. If a news suddenly spread with among these examples, the price of btc will suddenly be affected most of the time is to decrease. Feel free to add additional information regarding to this.
The only thing that can be a threat to bitcoin here is banning from different countries. Maybe we had overcome bannings from China but i think if another countries will do such thing like that, then maybe bitcoin will experience another crash again. But for now, i can see that the biggest threat for bitcoin is the government alone. As long as the government still oppposed to bitcoin's legalization, then it will always be a big threat. No matter how strong bitcoin as an investment, if its not going to be legalized and creates massive adoption, then its definite goal will never be achieved.
3151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 09, 2021, 06:59:37 AM
JMF has returned from an injury, plus his mother died, so he is not 100% yet. if the Beermen are really a good team, this is the time to show some support to JMF and help the team to win so they could give this as a gift to JMF. SMB is still not out in the series, TNT still has to win 2 more games which looks easy now but once SMB found the best strategy, the advantage might be on them.

It's discrediting JMF if you still insist that he's not 100% because of that reason. Let's also looked at how good TNT is. Gives credit to their hard work. If TNT will win on the series, there should not be a reason that JMF is not at 100%. Not all the times that SMB will be the team to beat in the league and SMB fans should not be blinded by that.

It's more on how the coach and players design the gameplay.

As of this moment, it's on the side of TNT they really made good adjustment to identify what's their advantage
against SMB. There're no excuses or anything, Lets accept the fact that the domination of Fajardo is no longer that much.
Kudos to the hard work of TNT's defense, they made it harder for SMB as to how we saw that from this
current series.

Glad we really enjoy this semi-finals between two heavy favorite teams from the league.

This is more like a Finals series, but I'm glad that TNT has really improved now, unlike in the past that SMB always dominates them. Coach Chot Reyes really help a lot for the team, maybe this season is not for the SMB teams, it's for the Pangilinan teams. Also, if TNT will advance, I guess they will be the favorites against Magnolia, but I believe the series would be better as it could reach game 7.

SMB has come back before when they are down 3-1 and won the NBA Finals, so please don't think that the series is already over, TNT maybe leading by 1 win but SMB could even the series and will make this series very unpredictable to judge. It's also a battle of adjustment and just like what the Meralco did, SMB could also adjust and win the next game.
3152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gervonta Davis vs. Rolando Romero - December 5 on: October 09, 2021, 06:12:06 AM


Because we all favour Davis here, he has the tools and has slowly gaining experience. As compare to Romero who hasn't touch any fighter in the level of Davis.

I like Davis chances on this fight, but a boxer with the power to knock out can pull out an upset, I'm looking at Barrios performance against Davis, Barrios has the power the skills but cannot find a good opening to land his big punches and when he initiates he always get caught by Davis counterpunch, and Romero keeps calling Davis little man, now this is a bad strategy, he is undermining Davis power if he takes that mindset against him, he will be in big trouble. 

i bet for Barrios that day expecting an upset, it was me that's upset by the outcome. luckily we just have to bet small to win big in betting for an underdog. Tank is just too good to make mistake. he knows the value of making his record clean because they are influenced by Floyd.

Romero surely will review that fight. if he sees himself having a chance, he can brag and trash-talk all the time on youtube but it's different inside the ring.


It's okay if they get influenced by Floyd to stay undefeated, but hopefully, no influenced the way he fights in the ring because it's so boring, what's the use of an undefeated record if fans do not want you, boxing is entertainment, so those who entertain the fans should be given more recognition.

Well, in the case of Davis, I'm sure he is not boring because his KO ready is very impressive.
3153  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do you explain the October pump? on: October 08, 2021, 11:59:15 PM
Everyone was blaming September for the dip like it was a dip holiday and just waiting for October for the pump. And as soon as October came - and I mean literally, like the first day of October - prices started to go up and it started to pump. How??
No one knows! It all matters with the demand and if you do saw that Oct 1 does have some significant rise then it do varies with the demand itself because if we do look back there
were no events or big sentiments that did really happen in the market which makes this market is way too unpredictable.No one would could give out precise explanation on things
on how this market behaves in terms of price movement and thats what makes it hard to make profits but somehow it could really be handled out if you done
it well.
I think its more on the demand since no other significant events that happened that time. And since the market is so unpredictable, so its always expected for the market to crash and drop down the prices, or the market to pump and seeing the prices surging. And if you are investing with the potential coins then whatever the market's situation, they will surely bounce up and give you huge profits in return.
3154  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How cryptocurrency trading have helped the youth. on: October 08, 2021, 11:27:31 PM
As long as the youth are interested in learning about crypto trading, they will see that they can get a bigger profit, especially if they can choose the coin that can increase higher. To do that, they need to have the skills to analyze every coin at the market and if they don't have experience, perhaps, that will not be easy for them.
Success or improvement in life will really vary on the actions or involvement that you've been doing.It doesnt really matter whether you are old or young but since we do talk about those youngsters then
dealing with crypto on early stage in life would really give that kind of possibility on where it could really be a solution when it comes to possible financial problems but it wont really be that simple.
You would need to have at least the sufficient knowledge which means you would need to learn up everything to make yourself sustainable and profitable before you could say that
crypto trading did really have some significant help on financial manner.

Everyone can indeed be successful depending on what we do in this life, not only young people who can be successful, even old people can be
successful as long as they are willing to work hard to make money. But as a young person has its own advantages, because young people should
have fresh energy and minds than old people. So young people can indeed have a faster chance of learning something, then learning crypto from
an early age is something that must be done if we really want to get a big income. Because early adopters have proven to be able to generate
large profits, there is no reason to delay learning crypto from an early age. I prefer crypto to be one of the subjects in school, so from an early age
they know crypto well.

Its definitely a good advantage if we start learning crypto in our early stage of life. Although everyone is free to do crypto trading because it can be learned but the youth have greater more advantage because they are more technology inclined as this blockchain is backed by a strong and powerful technology. So they are more fast learners compared to the old ages and are willing to take challenges as long as they know the result will give them huge profits. And knowing the youths  have more potentials to be successful in the future because they are most likely not fearful especially when taking risks.
3155  Economy / Economics / Re: Permanent inflation or "just temporary" on: October 08, 2021, 10:05:49 PM
A few leaders of OCDE countries are speaking wishfully about inflation, stating that this is just "a temporary peak". However this may or may not be the case. Even the people with best information (CEOs of large companies and perhaps some ministers) are unclear about how long do we have to endure inflation.

My translation for this is "we do not know if we can effectively pass the burden of all the money we printed onto the labour or the salaries will rise paving way for sustained high inflation in two years".
I believe that the highness of the inflation is definitely temporary, at least in my nation, but the inflation that is more than what it should be is permanent, I doubt it will ever be recovered. So, basically if it is 2% that should be the inflation that we could live with and healthy, and if it is 10%+ in some nations, I believe it will still drop, but not to 2%, it will drop to 5-6% which is still a lot, obviously most nations would be super happy about dropping to that level, which shows how horrible we are doing right now.

However at least it is a drop, even though it is not a good and ideal place it will drop. So, technically the super high inflation in some nations are temporary, but higher than what should be is permanent everywhere.
Inflation will always be a part in our daily living and its here permanently. But i agree on you that although inflation will be here always but its high rate might only be temporary. And it really saddened us that during this time of pandemic, the prices of basic commodities are now even surging, when they should have sink down so we can save a little. And thinking that this covid 19 pandemic will definitely won't stop by this year or the following year, then we might lived for it now and be used to it. After all, you can be protected from inflation if you know where to put your money in a more profitable way.
3156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Let's pay attention to BNB? on: October 08, 2021, 03:06:07 PM
A BNB class coin will always convince me to hit a price above its current price of $444 and a price of $500 I don't think is difficult for BNB to achieve if the market continues to improve as it has this week.
At the moment the market seems to be improving but the BNB price is still below $500 although I also believe in BNB coin to pass the $500 price, but it will still take some time from now to reach that point as the condition of each coin is very different now.
With the continuous momentum that BNB has been experiencing, it will not be surprising anymore that it will hit a price more than $500 and can even go higher if there will be a huge demand from its community. BNB is the most advanced and developed token of Binance which is very popular platform these days. So knowing its backed by Binance exchange, then it will be very valuable in the years to come and this is the reason why BNB keeps it being on top of the list in the market.
3157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't trade using instinct on: October 08, 2021, 10:02:41 AM
We know that trading is really not easy. And if we are only trading by instinct, it is very very risky.

We can't blame those who are trading against instinct if, in most cases, they are winning. Let's be honest here as sometimes, as an experience crypto-enthusiast lurking in crypto-world, we are also ending up trading in instincts especially if we are holding a coin that experiencing an over x100 without any explanation or resource we can rely on the web.

Of course, as long as we know what we are doing, it's totally fine to be like that. But in the case of a total newbie, it's common to see them trading against instinct but should not be a habit.
For me, there's nothing wrong if we trade using our instinct as long as we also do our research too. Because we all know, even how long the time we used in studying, knowing the market is highly volatile so there are still unexpected crash in the market that will eventually take place. But there are really those coins who are born with great potentials like bitcoin and ethereum so even if we just invest in them directly without even gaining research, we know already that it will always give us good profits especially if we hold them for long term.

However, there's always an edge if we DYOR first before taking such actions.
3158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin have any real value? on: October 07, 2021, 10:54:56 PM
Bitcoin is not backed by any physical asset like Gold nor by any fiat currency. It makes me wonder if I should invest/trade in Bitcoin or not?
Your choice because its your money to use and not ours but as you can see then crypto market is flourishing which does simply shows that there is really a demand which it is just a waste
of opportunity if you do just let it slip specially if you do already see the chances for you to make profits then why not? Its up on someone decision to make and not ours.
Real value? it does have monetary value. Any issues with that?

People who are hesitant to invest in Bitcoin, they are indeed lacking in knowledge. In fact, if we study Bitcoin properly, there seems to be no reason
to reject Bitcoin. I, who have made big profits from Bitcoin, have no problem with Bitcoin is not backed by any physical assets. The most important
thing is that Bitcoin can generate greater profits than other assets, that's the most important thing for me. I agree everyone has the freedom to
decide whether to invest in Bitcoin or not, but if we don't understand how the crypto world works, I suggest not rushing to invest in Bitcoin,
don't invest in something we don't understand. It would be nice if first to learn Bitcoin properly, after that we all can definitely decide what we should do.

It's better to learn first the whole background of bitcoin and certainly all its basics so you won't have to question if bitcoin has its real value or not. After all your studies, then it's time you can answer your own question. If you are now convinced, then make a move. But if you are still hesitant because its not even backed by a reliable group or entity, then you're free not to invest. After all, bitcoin is only for those who understands its nature. Just come back when you think you are ready to take the risk. 
3159  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Continuously Loosing money in Trading!!!! on: October 07, 2021, 08:37:19 PM
I personally think that one should always take into account the general situation and look more extensively.
The market is constantly making changes and so you have to adopt it, otherwise you'll be left behind. And even how good you are in trading, as long as your strategies does not fit anymore with the market's condition, then it will not yield profits anymore. It's really a must to update your strategies every now and then because the market keeps improving in time. But if you think your strategies are still working, but the problem is on you, then you should change your mindset and set a new goal that will fit to the market's condition.
3160  Economy / Economics / Re: Will governments capitulate and finally recognize Bitcoin as a legal tender? on: October 07, 2021, 07:32:35 PM
After El Salvador regulated Bitcoin as legal tender, other countries are tempted to follow in its footsteps:

A minor percentage of countries only! A dmall county like El-Salvador can't have heavy industries that can generate mass income and employment. So they had to rely on alternative things that help with their economy. So while bitcoin may be beneficial for El-Salvador, it may not yield same result in Brazil.

I still don't think majority of the government are serious enough regarding bitcoin. They are either ban it or strictly regulate it. Making bitcoin a legal tender is still a far fetched dream for majority of the governments.
This makes sense to me. For now, i really believe that only few number of countries have been considering taking bitcoin as a legal tender and majority still chooses their own monetary system to be their medium of exchange. This is because most of the governments still prefer fiat because it can be controlled by them and since bitcoin is decentralized, they can't give their full support on it. And considering the central banks focus on fiat so they will keep on printing paper money as much as they can. Big countries may have less chances to recognize bitcoin as a legal tender because majority of the citizens still chose fiat not because they are used to it, but they really believe its for a lifetime use cases despite of the high inflation associated in it.
