I'm glad you brought this topic, well, honestly, I think it's a risky sport and it should not be called as sports, but we can't do anything as it's been here even before and this sport is attracting a lot of people and they are willing to pay just to watch a fight. In the early years, as we can see in the movie, sports are already there, warrior to warrior and one could kill the other, we don't want to see that as we don't want to see one could harm the other.

This sport is a contact sport, if we don't want the sport, then let's just don't want it so it will not affect us.

Accept the reality that not all that we see in this world can be appreciated.
3182  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: July 26, 2021, 01:20:43 PM


He cancelled the fight with Casimero because of the personal attacks on him and his family.

But he has option B - the Inoue fight, which is more exciting to see against a all Filipino war.

No one is underestimating Donaire, it's that he is facing the Monster who beat him in the first fight although somewhat he won because he as able to break Inoue's orbital bone.
and a considered as Rematch , We know how close their last fight was and I believe that if there is a chance to make it best again then this is the right time.

This will turn out as decision making for Donaire that if he lose on this one then he might really consider Retiring as We also believe that he is in the right age of leaving the boxing arena and become at least a Trainor or a manager depend on what next step he is planning for.

But i will still go for Donaire in this one no matter how advantageous Inoue is.

But no talks yet from both camps. It seems they are waiting for Casimero-Rigo results. We don't know if they are already discussing this potential fight. But if they will see high demand from boxing fans, they may schedule it very soon. However, no indication yet that they are into this re-match.

Probably, but it doesn't make sense if they are going for the result of Casimero vs Rigo fight.

Inoue and Donaire had their own respective belts already, so they can unify it by themselves. I'm not thinking that maybe they are negotiating behind close doors, doesn't want to leak this to boxing media until it is official. Both of them come from impressive wins, and they are not that damage. So maybe a couple of weeks rest and then negotiation can begin.

Guillermo Rigondeaux also has the belt, as you can see here https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/492989

He is the current WBA Bantam Weight champion, while Casimero is the WBO Bantamweight champion.
In this fight, they are risking their respective belts.

It's nice of Casimero will be able to win the fight so he will get that belt, and after this fight, I think Rigondeaux has no option but to retire.

I know everyone is excited to see this fight, it will be in less than 3 weeks and it's just a gift if Casimero will be the underdog of this fight.

Its just funny that CP3 really is 0-12 when the game is being officiated by Scott Foster. We might think that there is a bit of biased on it but we can't say it without proofs at all.

Nice trivia, I don't know that, however, I still believe that the Suns did not lose because of the officiating, that's too unfair for the Bucks because we saw how they bounce back from the first two losses and they have dominated the Suns already winning the next 4 games. Maybe next time CP3 has to be friendly with the refs especially with Scott Foster so the curse will be broken.

Just don't force or try to make something stupid if you don't want your account to be ban, some gamblers would suggest using VPN so your IP will change into a different country, well, that might be working but always consider the risk as your account could be ban for cheating. Why did I call it cheating? because you bypass the restriction knowing you are not allowed to gamble.

The safe thing to do is follow the regulation or find other casinos that are offering games even in your region.

Wow! does it mean the government will have to create an agency to focus on gambling only?

I think the current system is safe, as long as the casino or the business is regulated, the government can monitor them to comply with the rules and if they commit crime by scamming gamblers, they should face jail time as the authorities will be after them.
3186  Economy / Economics / Re: Amazon will accept Bitcoin payment this year on: July 25, 2021, 09:58:28 PM
...

if this news is true then the prediction of Bitcoin will be $100k will be true...

Bitcoin's appeal cannot be denied, many large companies will adopt it. we just have to wait when apple will join the party, it will definitely be one of the hottest news.
There are still great things to happen for bitcoin before this year ends and one of these is that Amazon is ready to accept bitcoin as a payment system. This is not surprising because we will expect great things coming since big instutions came to adopt bitcoin and for this, they tend to follow every now and then.

However, Amazon is a very big company so its effect to the crypto market is definitely a huge one too. With this, if things keep coming positively for bitcoin, then bull run will be very possible reaching its new heights into $100k hopefully.
3187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons to Invest in Bitcoin?? on: July 25, 2021, 09:47:06 PM
First I want to say that I have some Bitcoin and I want to see it go to the moon. But I have some questions regarding the reasons that people give as to why Bitcoin is a good investment.  Kiss

Reason 1: You are in control of your own money - government overprint cash which devalues the dollar, but big influential people and institutions can devalue Bitcoin with a single tweet. Bad news, issues with mining, and other things out of your control can devalue Bitcoin.

Reason 2: Nobody can take away your bitcoin whereas the bank can confiscate your cash and lock your account - should I worry about my bank doing this if I am not doing anything that is illegal?

Reason 3: You can send it to anyone in the world - why would people want Bitcoin when you cannot use it to purchase in many stores? Plus ii takes too long for 1 transaction to go through.


Please correct me if I am misinformed.  Shocked

Everyone has his personal reason to invest into Bitcoin. To survive, hodl, become richer, because of believe into Bitcoin etc. But the key moment in this question is new and good opportunities that cash or banks can not give, because those two have borders, limitations and different nuances. Bitcoin give people new opportunities first of all - like time economy, bordeless transactions, income and so on.
Investing in bitcoin i think is the smartest one i made. I know bitcoin is the future. While others are afraid to take risk, but i know taking risk in bitcoin is all worth it. I may have losses and disappointments tody, but all these will vanish once bitcoin will reach its most expensive price and all i have is huge profits. The thing that everyone is waiting for aside from the fact that it also aim to be adopted soon as a currency next to fiat in the whole world.
3188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Be careful what you choose to invest in now, not all coins will recover. on: July 25, 2021, 07:23:46 PM
this is a risk that must be taken here and of course this is a challenge that we must win. when we invest in crypto, of course, we already know the consequences we have to accept, one of which is losing the assets we have invested. and this is where the importance of research and thoroughness in reading market movements because this is very important if you make the wrong move instead of the profit you get it could be a big enough loss. because not all coins follow a bullish movement there are some coins that are only made for a moment and when the developer has made a profit of course they will throw the coin away and as a result the coin will be dying and slowly starting to be worthless.
so before investing here it would be better to choose a really trusted coin so that we don't lose the assets we have
This bearish season gives us good opportunity to buy more and create profits in the future. But this won't happen when you chose to invest in such wrong coins. So we need to be more careful in buying those cheap coins in the market because some of them may not recover and eventually dies after few months. Better to DYOR those coins who hold no guarantees that they will grow more in the future. If not, we might regret in the end because we just wasted time and money just for those worthless projects.
3189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: July 25, 2021, 11:54:26 AM
Yes, he really said that he is not after for the money,

Maybe I will give it 60% true. Why? Because Manny today will only fight boxers if the price is right. He's already graduated from fighting with a small paycheck because he now reached the Legendary status. He's a businessman. He won't risk his old body to fight without something good in return.

He won't take a small paycheck on every fight as he will be the reason for that fight to generate big revenue. He will carry the name of his opponent at the same time so why take small returns.

Manny Pacquiao is after the money and that was obvious. It's impossible that he only just wants to entertain people. If he's not after the money, he will just accept any offer from any good boxers. Smiley

He is definitely after for the money, though the guaranteed paycheck is only $5 million as reported, they can make a big revenue on the pay per view which would give both fighters a decent share as well. Though there's no figure yet as we will only know it after the fight, but I'm sure they'll make money as this fight is probably the biggest fight this year.

Congrats bisdak40, that's another win, you have a perfect day for the PBA betting, what's your pick on the current game? Did you bet on NLEX spread or DYIP? I did not see the game between SMB and Northport, but judging on the points by Slaughter, looks like he won against his fellow big man.
3191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why crypto (bitcoin) is better than traditional money? on: July 24, 2021, 10:19:57 PM
~snip~
people would really be focusing on this one.

Things on why crypto best.
1.  Decentralize
2. Irreversible transactions
3. Profit opportunity
^ Plus, as a payment method.
All you have mentioned above was right, these are the best advantage of crypto that could be consider better than fiat.
All could be smooth and fast trasaction across borders and easy to use wherever you are, you also have a free to control your fund, not at least you are already a billionaire. Traditional money is not traceable once a holder wanted to have a transaction. Nevertheless, both these two currency can not be compared.
If we can have both bitcoin and fiat for payment, then bitcoin has definitely achieved its goal. But i believe that both of them should never be compared because they both work on their uses and purposes.

Ho wever, bitcoin may have an advantage because it can also be used as an asset or investment but with fiat, it only serves as a payment purposes. But bitcoin does not aim to overtake fiat as they exist both as a mode of payment.
3192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which tokens have a future? I need 3 of them on: July 24, 2021, 09:58:01 PM
16000$ is a fairly large amount of money, and your decision to divide it into 3 types of coins is the right thing, my advice is ETH and BNB, one more altcoins please choose yourself, because there are so many potential altcoins on the market
I think even if others are suggesting with different coins to invest, it will be much better if you DYOR on your own and after a deep and long research and analysis, i know you will come up with your own top coins to invest.

Investing in altcoins is profitable if you have invested on the top coins with high potentials but if you have chosen those meme coins, i  don't think you will have a future on it. To be more practical, invest first on bitcoin and i know you will always be on the right track.
3193  Economy / Economics / Re: What is better - cryptocurrency trading or investing? on: July 24, 2021, 09:46:26 PM
As for me, trading and investing is good on a long run, I develop quality time on both, study the market trends and follow daily updates, I don't rush to sell nor to invest but the idea is that we all have different opinions and preferences and either going for trading or investiging it is better to understand when to strike (invest) and when to withhold.
It's best to try indulge yourself into trading and investing and when you get there, you can already make a comparison which one suit your capabilities and skills. I guess its the experience that will help you chose the better.

Well, there's no bad in trading as long as you know how to do it rightly and you were able to make profits even if the market is crashing. If not, then better stick into investing and chose those coins who has high potentials to buy and hold and sell them only when your target price has been achieved.
3194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons for newbies loss in bitcoin on: July 24, 2021, 09:30:42 PM
first of all we have to ask ourselves why do people buy bitcoin?

1 - do people buy bitcoin to use as a means of payment? I don't think so, at least most people aren't buying bitcoin as a means of payment.

2 - are people buying to make hodl? and why would they be doing hodl for so long if they don't aim to make a lot of money? This is where all the answers come from, people are doing hodl because they want to make a lot of money... Of course, when there's a 50% drop, hopes end and there's panic selling


Newbies lose from their investments because they don't know what they are doing exactly. They tend to make decisions without setting a target goal so in the end, they still come up committing losses. And the biggest factor that makes them a big loser is that they think bitcoin as a way to be an instant rich. Well the fact that there's no instant in reaching your success, same with bitcoin you still have to endure more time and effort and a long rope of patience and knowledge just to get there.
3195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most profitable cryptocurrency for 2021? on: July 24, 2021, 08:21:28 PM
It will always be Bitcoin and then probably ethereum if you want to profit them Bitcoin is the safest and easiest to invest in and there is no real reason to invest in another coin which only has promises.. The only altcoins  that are better features than Bitcoin would be privacy coins but then they are not better overall than Bitcoin and are currently having issues with adoption because of the exchanges banning them.
Bitcoin and ethereum have become the most trusted investments of all time so they should always be our top priorities in our portfolio. But it's also good to explore into new altcoins with good fundamentals and has a big community that supports them. But invest only at a small amount at first so we won't regret in the end if they end up as a failure. After all, losing will always be inevitable.
3196  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is more real than money in the Bank on: July 23, 2021, 09:46:20 PM


Few years after forcing everyone to take their gold to the bank, the US president, Nixon in 1971 stopped everyone from having the right to convert their gold to fiat. Isn't that stealing? Government resent bitcoin because they can't control it like they did in 1971. Very soon, it will be illegal to own bitcoin in some countries, not because bitcoin is bad, but because bitcoin gives you the power to own your money. Bitcoin is more real than your money in the bank. Be your own bank by investing and learning about bitcoin.


https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/gold-convertibility-ends


This is true and the government will keeping fighting against the use of Bitcoin. The government are always looking for ways to control money and people's assets but now it's difficult for them to know everything about us and how much we have since bitcoin is not linked to the bank or identification system.
Having bitcoin on our own wallet is like having our money on our own bank. So its very clear that the government cannot have the full access of our own assets and this is the reason why they are all against with bitcoin and all related crypto transactions. As long as we have the private keys we personally kept, then thl be government has nothing to do with it.

However, this is a positive thing on our part but for the side of the government, i think this will be a big barrier in achieving fast adoption of crypto worlwide.
3197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you believe in this information? on: July 23, 2021, 09:23:13 PM
so far i didnt see any official release rellated with news, bearish market make some traders or investors stress and they use any strategy to make market bounce just like what whales do to drop bitcoin price. If this is real news there must official release from stakeholders and we will see in any cryptoncurrency news site.
Yes. If this is true, this will contribute a huge price surging in the market so definitely positive news like this will become trending. But seems, the market seems to be steady in its condition except for a little price correction sometime.

I can imagine right now once Germany will invest in crypto with this huge amount then i think other big and small countries might do the same thing too. Crypto is now widely spread all over the world so this is not surprising if such countries will come to trust and invest in crypto as they can visualize already how big the potentials of crypto.
3198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: am i the only one expecting the market to be worse than this? on: July 23, 2021, 08:58:27 PM
i will buy when bitcoin is under 20k. I will also buy when ethereum has fallen below 1k. when bnb goes back to $100 i will buy it too. before that happens I will not buy.
My best wishes that you can grab all the mentioned coins at your preferred prices, but I will share the dilemma I go through when I make such self promises.

When BTC was $55k or something, I promised myself to buy a big chunk if the price comes down to below 50k anytime, when that price was reached under $50k, I felt I shall wait more because things are not looking good. I promised myself to buy when the price will come under $40k surely and the same thing keeps happening. I managed to buy some but it's a never-ending theory because when the price is dropping, there is just no confidence in buying the coins.

Buy when you feel the price is below the value, simple!
Its always good to buy when the value is in dip. But expecting for the market to become worse even more so you can enjoy buying new coins is more likely not to happen. The market is quite different already compared before because huge institutions are already here to backed up bitcoin and crypto. More chances that it will start to rise up again than going deeper bellow. But still what we have are just pure speculations. We'll just know what will happen next when we'll get there.
3199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't give your bitcoins to scammers on: July 23, 2021, 06:51:05 PM
People jist need to use their common sense to avoid being scammed,
If it is a giveaway then why do they need to pay in order to participate or receive it?
People still falls to those kind of tricks and I just don't know why there are still some who would really send out their money because of those promises?
Because people who don't know will be tempted by the double that scamers give them so this promise is too sweet and in the end they ask for a deposit to participate in exchange for doubling it, so I think this kind of trap is only for those who don't understand the real crypto.

There has been a lot going on in the fall of this fake giveaway trick, even more fake giveaways with other big names so that the reality is true, even though all of them are fakes that cannot be validated.
If any site asks for a deposit just to double then it is scamers.
Scammers will always be here waiting for good chances to scam people. And it happens mostly to newbies or to anyone who does not the whole thing about crypto. And this is the sad reality. Scammers will never get lost as long as there are still innocent people who fall as victims to some too good to be true offers. And with this fake giveaways, greedy people mostly fall for it because of their innermost desire to earn money in an instant and fastest way.
3200  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial freedom and success comes from knowledge on: July 23, 2021, 06:24:57 PM
A great success really comes from knowledge and Knowledge comes from education and experiences.  Knowledge can sharpen your problem. solving skills,  will make you effective and can make you wise in making decision. To be successful and have financial freedom, you will encounter lot of problems, failure and  disappointments but you can gain useful knowledge in it and if you enhance that new knowledge it will make you more wiser that leads to a great success.
Financial freedom is not just invested through knowledge but with time and effort too. You can never attained the state of financial freedom without hardwork and perseverance aside from your knowledge that you equipped yourself.

And with the appearance of covid 19, it encourarges us to become more knowledgeable on managing our finances so we will be able to sustain all our basic needs despite of the fact that this covid 19 is a big barrier to earn more money rather than spending it. Luckily, crypto was here to help us to get through with this pandemic.
