3201  Economy / Speculation / Re: How come BTC is not at least $75,000 yet? on: February 04, 2022, 08:07:28 AM
The USD is losing value. The EUR is losing value. All national coins are inflationary, energy prices are through the roof and still BTC is only $36,500! People should buy BTC like crazy, this is something I don't understand, they keep using the crappy FIAT instead. FIAT will all make you poor! Don't come crying here after when BTC hits $100K, but FIAT is the worst investment someone can make these days. BTC is still cheap as peanuts considering its potential, too bad people don't see it, have fun staying poor and keep making those bankers rich. Unbelievable.
If people dont buy Bitcoin then its their problem. We cant coerce anyone to do as we say since we have our own way of thinking and belief on this matter.

On the other side, fiat is existing for long years already so its just normal that majority of people prefer fiat over crypto and its not surprising if some people dont know the existence of Bitcoin since not everyone are aware of whats happening online or has an access on the internet.

Hence, even the price is not as high as before, dont feel bad about it because it will certainly increase in time. For now enjoy the ride and refrain from monitoring the market for a while.
I guess we can't control the world, specifically the people living in it. Everyone has their own choices in life because we live with different perspectives. We may see that bitcoin is very valuable  now, but still most of the people don't even recognize it. So let's just trust the process, and everything will be in perfect timing when time comes. No need to convince that buying bitcoin is the best thing to do, let the people discover bitcoin and see its worth. Eventually, they will be the one to come rushing in the market.

Very interesting turn of events for Canelo, he went to the WBC convention and challenge the CW champion and then when he win his fight, suddenly Canelo doesn't want him anymore.

In any case, I'm still looking for articles that might give weight for a GGG vs Alvarez trilogy. This is the right that we all have been wanting to see. Although Charlo is undefeated and could be a good challenge for Canelo, he still lacks the experience and even power to crack Canelo's chin.

That's what I see, Charlo lack of experience will be an advantage for Canelo, but if Charlo will take the right, then that's a good treat for us, besides, a fighter doesn't need to be undefeated in order to be called as a great fighter, Canelo is not undefeated but he is a great fighter.
Charlo is one of the best fighters in boxing, but Conelo is much better than Charlo because in every fight he always has the ambition to keep attacking but has a bad defense.
and weakness in defense will be an opportunity Conelo will take advantage of, Canelo against Charlo will be a big fight and will attract a lot of interest from fans around the world.

Well, Canelo would still remain as the favorite if the two will fight, but since the fight between  GGG vs Murata is not going to happen, then maybe that opens the door of opportunity for the GGG vs Canelo trilogy too.

AD do need to be careful now because if he is injured again, I am positive the Lakers will not reach the playoffs.

He has to be careful but at the same time he should not loss his aggressiveness.

AD is the most consistent scorer in the team, of course next to Lebron, and now that Lebron is resting, I think the Lakers will struggle and will work hard in ever game, their win is a good win, but they need to be more consistent with that, otherwise they'll be in a losing streak again.
3204  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who is the best crypto provider to give you advice on how to trade in crypto? on: February 02, 2022, 10:18:08 PM
If you don't have the money to pay those crypto signal providers, simply don't get one. The only person you could rely to give you trading signals is yourself. Yes, you're the one who is responsible on getting yourself better and better each day in trading world in exchange of losing money, that is normal, don't expect earning a lot of money when you're just starting your Trading journey. ..

Even with unsuccessful trading, you will get experience in return for your lost money, but if you use signals, you will simply lose your money without getting anything in return. So it's really the right decision to use your knowledge and experience, which will definitely be added to you from deal to deal.
There is really no guarantees that paying for trading signals providers will always bring profits for you. They always lose for sure because even experts fail their trades too. And once they lose, they are not losing theirs but your money. So never rush in making profits like you just rely for someone to do the trades for you. Learn it on your own through gaining more knowledge and a lot of experiences, even if it means losing most of the time. That is trading. You will only be good in trading if you learn how to study the market and understand it well and treat trading like a real business.
3205  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Celebrities Embracing bitcoin because of Divorce? on: February 02, 2022, 03:29:38 PM


Well, anybody can use any investment tool for that matter to make sure that he or she can be financially independent in case something untoward happen like a divorce. But come to think of it, the best thing to do is to have a pre-nuptial agreement that must state that any party of the marriage can get involved with cryptocurrency and that the other one will not any stakes on it...unless of course a partnership agreement can be agreed upon during the marriage. Anyway, we know how destructive a divorce is so I think the best thing to do is both parties work hard to make a marriage a big success.
I think all married couples are working hard just for their relationship to work and be successful so they won't end up being broken. Unfortunately, not all are lucky enough having their partners. This is where divorce enters.

However, its better to specify all your assets or investments, or even debts, be it in bitcoin, stocks, or real estate before making the prenuptial agreement. Particularly for big celebrities who also make big earnings. This will avoid the forthcoming problems that may arise in the future particularly to where the property will go after a marriage.
3206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ancajas vs Martinez - Feb 19, 2022 on: February 02, 2022, 02:33:31 PM
I also checked bookies that I usually bet and it's weird that the fight odd is not listed when fights that is months from now are already there. Maybe there is no hype in this fight, nevertheless, we still have weeks before the actual fight and maybe as the fight gets closer to the date, sport bookies are going to open the line. And I wouldn't be surprise if Ancajas will be the slight favorite. And this could be the another must watch fight for Philippines.

You already said the reasons already, no hype for this fight, but for us I would say hard core fans of Filipino boxing definitely we are awaiting for this fight and are eager to put a bet on our boy Jerwin Ancajas.

Nonetheless, the probability that it will be listed is very high, so we just need patience. Just like any other fight that involves Filipino fighters that doesn't have odds early present in our favorite sport bookies, this might be open up days before the date of the fight, so stay tune.

Ok I got it, yeah, maybe it's because the fight to most is not that hype. But at least with weeks to go some bookies, or least our favorite one could have at least have an line already.

Nevertheless, it could be true that they are going to open the line just a couple of days before the fight so we must monitor our sport bookies if we really wanted to bet on this fight.

No need to monitor it consistently, just make sure you put your bet a day before the fight as for sure the odds are already available that time. This is going to be an exciting fight, though Ancajas is the more experience boxer here his opponent is not an easy opponent as well, so hopefully, the odds is not going to make Ancajas a heavy favorite.

Do you think it's a good decision by the SBP to get Chot Reyes as the head coach of the Gilas Pilipinas again?

https://pba.ph/news/tnt-coach-chot-reyes-back-on-gilas-saddle

Quote
VINCENT "Chot" Reyes is back to doing double duty, with his reappointment to head coaching post at Gilas Pilipinas.

Reyes will juggle jobs at TNT Tropang Giga and with the national team while Tab Baldwin is to focus on his responsibilities with the Ateneo men's basketball team with the looming return of the college play in the country.

Which coach is better for you, Coach Chot or Coach Baldwin? and why?

For me coach Baldwin is better, he coach the team in the Fiba World cup and Gilas were really competitive at that time although we know our limitations. It's the decision of coach Tab, he wants to focus on the NCAA coaching specifically the Ateneo Blue Eagle team, so we have to respect that and let's support coach Chot with his new journey to the FIBA.
3208  Economy / Economics / Re: IMF urges El Salvador to remove Bitcoin as legal tender on: February 01, 2022, 09:12:35 PM
IMF wants to show the world what happens to countries which adopt bitcoin as legal tender. They are letting the message very clear: don't ever think about adopting bitcoin, because if you do this, you aren't going to have financial support from us anymore...

Blackmail on its purest form.

In fact what happens is that once governments embrace bitcoin for their own countries, they have to resign loans, international investments or any other kind of partnership with the establishment. It's a difficult decision to make, and I'm not sure if El Salvador is able to go ahead with bitcoin, because they totally depend on international help from IMF to pay the rising debt that might reach to 100% of their GDP soon if something isn't done to control it.
As if IMF know exactly that bitcoin won't help El Salvador in the long run. This is also a clear message that IMF favors only the US official currency, that if countries make other currency as a legal tender, it will be a threat to their official currency. But honestly, if El Salvador will succeed all these trials and the blackmail made by IMF, this will urge other countries to adopt bitcoin too so they can stay away from the shadow of IMF. If El Salvador can do it, there' no reasons that other countries can't do it.
3209  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade-in between the lines on: February 01, 2022, 08:03:30 PM

It quite clear to all of us that trading is not an easy task and if an individual lack a good trading skills it may bead to loses, this aspect has made many to decide to hold rather than trading to avoid mistakes.
But in doing that I have observed that while the crypto currency market is highly volatile so if you can flow with the wave of the market one can still make good profits but again its not a guarantee and not an investment advice.
DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS STAT?
No matter what strategy we've used, can't just avoid mistakes and even losses. Remember that trading is not an easy job, plus the volatility of the market makes things even harder to speculate. For we are in trading, we could base a lot of things around that we think could affect the price. If that we need to hold, then we should to it as a trader is not always a trader, we can also consider ourselves as holder which is very often to happen.
Newbies need to remember this, trading may seem like an easy occupation as the only thing you need to do is to buy low and sell high according to them, however, trading is an environment in which you are competing against millions of people trying to do the same, it is the equivalent of running a marathon against millions of people, so only a selected few will earn profits from trading and yet newbies think that they will earn a fortune without making any effort at all, while their competitors never stop learning and use every single hour of free time to improve their system.
And that belief and perception of trading as an easy task have taken over most of them, trading requires skills and expects before you can gain in trading you have to develop you self over time if not so amateur trader most times run into huge loses.
I will adapt to the fact that for one to trade in Bitcoin at any point either spot or feature trading one needs skills.
That is why trading should never be in a rush. It requires hard work and persistence so we can develop what's best in ourselves and continue to learn in trading. I don't see why trading has always been easy for some, because even experts never see it that way. In fact, trading will always be tough and hard because its learning process will always be ongoing and a lifelong process.
3210  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN - ROAD TO 8,000$ - speculation on: February 01, 2022, 01:32:01 PM
Do you believe the price of Bitcoin will drop to $8000 again? We are already in bear season right now. Now the world of crypto money has changed a lot, we are not in a situation like 5 years ago. We are in a much larger economy and everyone wants to invest and earn money here. I don't think the price will drop that much again. We may already be at bottom prices right now
Familiar words, that's mostly what I read and hear during the previous bear season, people are hesitant to believe that the price will significantly drop, that's why they weren't able to prepare and do the right decision, this time, I think we should be more open for the worst possibility, although we are optimistic at the same time.
3211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where are all the bitcoin's Moon boys ? on: February 01, 2022, 01:03:46 PM
All those videos and posts are just clickbait titles to increase their views. When the price of bitcoin starts to increase, crypto currencies become a trending topic. Those "influencers" and video content creators take the opportunity to boost their views and channels. So they make those unrealistic prediction and videos because they know that people will click and watch those videos to remain hopeful. All those predictions are baseless and only for creating FOMO. Avoid them.

The fact is that only a few content creators on YouTube create quality and informative content. Most content creators only think about how
they can increase the number of views of their videos, therefore we will find lots of clickbait titles on our YouTube homepage. Avoid watching
channels whose video creators don't have good analytical skills. Because I found quite a lot of channels on YouTube that predict the price of
Bitcoin without a clear basis. So content creators just give their audience what they want to hear, such as predicting an unrealistic Bitcoin price.
Because most newbies are easily influenced by unrealistic predictions, that's why when Bitcoin price is bullish, there are many Bitcoin price
prediction videos popping up.

That's expected, in order for them to make their youtube channels popular, they need to catch the attention of the people and that's only the information that people would be interested at, compared to bullish and bearish market, we know that people are more interested on hearing some bullish news.
3212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 29, 2022, 11:37:17 PM
We've seen their limit last playoffs, they reach the WCF and I think that was the 1st time in the franchise of the Clippers but they still lose because PG can't carry the team alone, if Leonard was there, I'm sure they'll also reach the NBA Finals and probably would beat team Giannis as Leonard can limit him.

We can't conclude that. The problem on that time is not because Paul George is the only one carrying the team. It needs team's effort but what happened? A team shouldn't rely alone on superstar.  A superstar needs help with good teammates.

Clippers is done this season. They can do a good comeback next season.

They didn't rely on PG alone, in fact, other players made their contribution as well but against the Phoenix Suns who has booker and CP3, they can't beat them so it's okay, at least the Clippers beat the Jazz but not good enough to bet the Suns. This season if ever they'll reach to the playoffs, I don't expect them to pass round 1.
3213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 29, 2022, 10:53:41 PM
They don't need a star player like PG, they are playing well as a team, it's just unfortunate that they don't have enough talent to compete against a top team like the Miami Heat.

I think that was irrelevant. We can't conclude a team's overall performance within just a single game. It's good that a team is composed of role players but for a team like Clippers, they really need a steady superstar player that can carry the team.

They need Paul George, they need Kawhi Leonard, that's the reality. Clippers are nothing without either of these 2 and their current status is the living proof of that.

We've seen their limit last playoffs, they reach the WCF and I think that was the 1st time in the franchise of the Clippers but they still lose because PG can't carry the team alone, if Leonard was there, I'm sure they'll also reach the NBA Finals and probably would beat team Giannis as Leonard can limit him.
3214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 29, 2022, 10:33:34 PM

Casimero, being in the opponent's home court, he needs to make sure his actions inside the ring.

Exactly, he cannot just be complacent, if possible he should KO Butler, so a possible favoritism on the fight by the judges will not happen. Casimero is the defending champion here but he is going to be in the territory of the enemy, so he has to ensure his win and that is by KO.
3215  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't be wiser than the market on: January 29, 2022, 03:10:29 PM
Even the so-called gurus and experts out there aren’t wiser than the market. They can predict all they want, but it’s not accurate and perfect either. Newbies, beginners and average Joes out there are just falling prey to these gurus and experts thinking that they know what they’re doing when to buy or sell.

Of course, the technical analysis, candlesticks, patterns, etc., could help us a bit to analyze where the market is heading along with the potential bullish/bearish news around the corner that would highly influence BTC’s price. We’re not wiser than the market and never will be. It’s unpredictable and it can just change directions without warning and all of a sudden anytime.
Traders trained themselves to become wise and skillful, but no matter how good they are, they cannot win over the market. No trader can control the crypto market because of its volatility which makes it very unpredictable. Just think of it, if traders are more wise and brilliant than the market, then expect that all traders are bound to gain profits, and losses will be extinct. That way, the excitement and thrill in trading will start to fade.
3216  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Man lost everything to Crypto on: January 29, 2022, 02:09:54 PM
this is not about losing everything but about how people control their emotions, everyone will lose anything if emotions are not controlled including family let alone crypto.

crypto won't take anything from us if we can control it. Crypto is where people do business in cyberspace. This is especially for people who have a business spirit, people who can control their passions, don't be tempted by money.
Crypto is business, Business is about feelings.
With trading, it's always associated with profits so its hard for traders not to be tempted with money. Since money is always the driving force of a trader so he can give his very best. But from OP's story, Steven has been overwhelmed with his profits so his addiction for crypto becomes unreasonable. He started to be uncontrollable. He even treats trading as gambling when in fact they're different. Gambling gives us more losses than gains, while trading has higher chances to make profits particularly if you can manage the risk and you are trading with high potentials coins.
3217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: January 29, 2022, 01:36:32 PM

Ugas style may not work against Spence, but I still trust he could deliver a good fight. I feel that this fight is going to be close and though in the end, Spence will win but he will not dominate Ugas here. There are lots of speculation in this fight, but let's just see who's gonna win in this anticipated fight.

It will not work for Spence because Spence will make sure he is healthy and could destroy his defense. Ugas fought Pacman that has a problem with his mobility so he won the fight, if we the fight, Pacman really have a problem with his foot that he cannot use his speed, so Ugas took advantage of that using his good defense and long reach. The strategy was very simple but it gave him a unanimous win.

I hope our expectation will come into reality as the biggest fight we are hoping is only between Spence and Crawford. If Spence wins this fight, then most likely we will see the battle of undefeated fighters where both fighters will probably have their fans back on them, and no heavy favorite on that fight.
3218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: January 29, 2022, 01:21:59 PM

Yes, Keith Thurman is 33 years old but I doubt that he can still dance well in the ring considering that he was inactive for almost 3 years but we'll see if he still got what it takes to redeem his name or is it time to hang up his gloves as he's nowhere to go. Barrios on the other hand, had professional fights every year so I guess it's quite safe to say that Thurman will just be a stepping stone to a 26 years old Barrios.

There's only one way to find out, we will know that soon as they will fight. I think he can still dance but maybe there's an effect on his inactivity but he is still a decent fighter, and there's a reason why he is the favorite to win this fight.
3219  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN - ROAD TO 8,000$ - speculation on: January 29, 2022, 08:39:12 AM
Why not?
Whats your predicts ?

That's absurd to think about going down to 8k, most probably it would stabilize at $30k this time because the graph shows the large potential. Most people had a different and negative perspective right now, what they thought was a bad idea regarding the market downturn but in reality it's a huge opportunity for other hungry investors. This shouldn't be missed right now and must be embrace as long as you know how to have strong dedication with you.
If bitcoin will drop at $8k, sounds absurd but i would love to grab this great opportunity.  But as you've said, bitcoin price might settle around $30k and then it will start to surge again. However, there is always a possibility that bitcoin due to its high volatility will start to skyrocket and then it will fall back again. And this time, its price may fall deeper until it reaches $20k or below. Yes, bitcoin is bound to reach greater heights but there are always unpredictable events that may totally pull down the price again. So we should also prepare for its worst.
3220  Economy / Economics / Re: Buy Crypto Or Have Fun Staying Poor! on: January 29, 2022, 07:27:06 AM
If ever you have enough money as capital, it's better to invest in crypto especially now that  market is down. You can buy good coins in a lower price  then just hold to have a huge return when bull market come. If you believe in crypto and invest , it might change your life  in the future.
We should advise first the newbies to learn to understand what cryptocurrencies are before investing. They shouldn't do the mistake of others that they've invested blindly and become surprised when they saw the market went down.

They should break the cycle with that if they ever want to invest in cryptocurrencies. It may take a few days or weeks before they understand it and willing to take the volatility that it does.
Crypto is good, but it is a high risk investment that if you can't manage it well, you'll still end up losing. So there are no guarantees that you will always make profits from crypto, as its price depends from speculation. One day, you will acquire profits, the next day you lose the profits.

However, investing is fiat does not always mean that you'll stay being poor. There are millionaires out there who are profiting from fiat. But if you compare them both which will produce huge amount of profits even in a short period of time, its crypto or bitcoin as its value is higher 100x or 1000x than fiat.
