Let no human act as if it's common sense to predict the future of any good coin boldly, unless the person is the DEV or the coin has rugged 👌
Like being said, everything in crypto has been unpredictable, nothing could able to see the future of this project even though it looks useless nor it has no use cased is it still depends on the developer what they want in order to grow. However, we might have to see the consistency of the project and let us see how it goes in the coming days. Coz a lot of projects that had a very good start but never able to stay long at least this SHIB Inu project has stayed for a while and shows such impressive development.

It's funny. I thought earlier that the Nets and Lakers to be the main contenders for the title this season. However, both teams have some problems at the moment. The Lakers don't look like favorites after a terrible performance during preseason. Regarding the Nets, I doubt that Durant and Harden will be able to reach the final series if Irving doesn't change his mind about vaccination.

Don't take it seriously for now. It's just a pre-season.

We can form speculation once we see the progress to at least half the season. Regarding Nets won't be able to reach the Finals, who's the other contender in the East that Nets won't stand a chance to win? Heat? Bucks? Bulls? Celtics? Sixers? We can fairly say that the Nets can handle all teams in the East even without the presence of the drama king Kyrie Irving.

I think Lakers fans are in doubt because it's different than their pre-season when they won a championship. Different in a lot of ways.
They are now playing against the Kings and they scored 71 at halftime which should be checked by Coach Frank Vogel. There's a hint of chemistry now and the pre-season helped a lot to tweak most of their bad plays especially on Westbrook's side.
They will still become the favorites once they show a good start at the regular season. With a lot of superstars in their roster it will be easy to grab the fans back and watch them dominate.
Looks like the Lakers will lose in this game again, we have few minutes left, and the Lakers are trailing by 8 points in the 4th quarter, I guess they will continue their cold streak, and the Lakers will still be winless after this game.

Lebron scored 30 points already, but not much help from the bench.

Westbrook has improved his shooting a bit but his contribution is not enough to help the team to get their first win. Look at his numbers in this game, it's not the usual stats he is getting in his previous teams. This is odd, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, it used to be double-digit, so will this improve in the coming regular season?

We can't say if the same thing will happen in case SMB manage to win tomorrow, SMB stars are already aging compared with the new breed of coach Chot, if Williams and Pogoy will continue the damage game 7 might be used for them, this two Players have a big influenced in terms of their offense, with good night, they can finished SMB as early as game 6.

Set aside aging. That reason is not mentioned when SMB is winning. If TNT will win, no reason to looked at SMB. TNT last game was played with some handicap but was able to adjust. They were able to do what should be done on their Game 2 loss.

Like everyone here, I think SMB will take Game 6 but TNT will win the series.

We can make our own prediction but we never know what would be the result in game 6. For me, if you bet on the SMB to win the series, the best timing to bet on them is today because they need to win game 6 to make it to another do or die in game 7. Everyone wants to see game 7 but it would rely on the performance of the SMB today, let's hope their outside shooting will improve.

I know many don't want bear market 😅 we are so in love in the little corrections and making some profits when market recovers however the real bear market isn't here yet but there are few advantages that bear market holds and some failed to see it

1. The best time to build a long term portfolio is in bear market
2. Bear market don't care about any project, if your project is weak bear market can easily kill the project
3. Bear market reveals which coin is strong and which coin is weak, many coins won't even live through the bear seasons
4. You get more quantities of coins if you buy in bear market

While some don't want bear market some are already hoping it gets here so they can build another portfolio for coming btc halving
Most newcomers will come during the hypes and certainly, they become mad once prices just fall. It is a usual feeling for a loser.
While smart investors make an entry during the bear season and fill their portfolios ready for the big events (Bullrun).
Kinda have two different types of investors and two different mindsets.

Yeah, bear season somewhat gives us an easy job to determine what coin/s has the potential as shitcoins will surely die and won't survive from the dip while potential coins gain recovery faster as per to see.
3465  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum and additional gas fees on: October 14, 2021, 03:25:07 PM
The London fork did not bring the desired GAS relief, didn't it? Remember the TIME NFT a few weeks ago? This used so much ETH-chain capacity, that the GAS nearly quadrupled.

And the priority fee design does the rest...

Well, depends how you look at it,,, gas fees are high for sure, but probably not as high as it might have been without the hard fork. But I do not use these days any other transaction other than normal spend so I would not know how NFT minting costs but I assume it is still beyond the means of most ordinary people.

Small fees is always good sounding until something bad with network security undoes it all.
No, I'd never see a huge difference in fees before and after the hard fork as for me, the fees still aren't worthy for that. We're hoping that the hard fork will be the solution to this problem but too sad it fails and we become hopeless. Maybe we can see it was not a problem for those who transfer huge amounts of ERC-20 tokens but for those who are in bounty campaigns and wanted to sell the reward that is clearly a burden to them. That is why I understand their situation and I believe we have that kind of feelings.
3466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: October 14, 2021, 06:29:10 AM
Nice fight and I think it will end as soon as expected since both fighters are known for their power and knock-out record. Both are still in their prime and I think Crawford has some slight advantage due to his clean record. Although Porter is the underdog, he has a high chance to win this fight because of his power and strategy. Is this also their first fight this year? then it's was a long time for both of them. I hope they still both have their power when they step in the ring.

It's not that I don't believe in Porter but Crawford is an all-around fighter and who knows how to take advantage of his height and reach, and we all know Crawford wants to have a unification bout against Spence and it could happen if he could win against Spence and Porter will just become a big stepping stone for this unification to happen.

Possible, maybe Crawford really thinks that amongst the welterweight, Porter is the weaker and it will be a great victory for him if he manage to beat a tough Porter. And then maybe he can call Errol Spence. If Spence is not healthy, then maybe Thurman, the second best welterweight we have in the PBC stable. And after that, a unification fight with Spence, it's cannot be avoided anymore and this could be the biggest fight in welterweight division.

If Crawford would really want a tough match for him, he should call Thurman as this guy likes to bounce back after a loss from Pacman. I'm not sure if it's possible because they all rely on their promoter and with regards to the promoter's issue, I guess Crawford has a little problem with that as Bob Arum would not let his cash down destroy the cash flow by fighting a fighter that he doesn't have a huge advantage.
3467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 14, 2021, 05:42:43 AM

Williams played, Erram played and the team played well. A well deserved win for the TNT.
JMF can be stopped inside by using double team and what's good with TNT is that if JMF will pass it, the defenders are always rotating so that SMB will still have a hard time shooting the ball. On the other hand if JMF will try to push it, it will be hard for him to get points. Yes he might get rebounds but it is defensive rebounds or he might get some offensive ones but still, he can be stopped inside.

I think that this will go into a 7 game series but TNT will win the series. I'm an SMB fan still but just see the roster of TNT. Their starters are one of the best in the league right now and their bench is too deep that you can create a decent 5 man team with them. They are also one of the best defensive teams. I think that they will be the ones who will get the championship now too Cheesy.

Same with what SMB did last game 4 where all the stars help to establish their big leads from start to finish off the game,

TNT brings the same dose of medicine where they are been dominated by SMB, this time they showcase there
own versions of "PWersang Mama" Pogoy and Castro coming out from the bench, very effective, giving Montalbo and Reyes good time to play.

A good coach like Chot Reyes, what do we expect after that game 4 loss, he master the strategy and to bring it back to SMB showing that his team
also capable of running and bringing the game to high levels.

So what do we expect in game 6? Are we going to see another big win by SMB to tie the series, I guess this is getting so predictable and I don't want to go with the flow as this could be a trap, I'm thinking that TNT will finish the series and they'll win in 6 just like what Magnolia would do.

My wife was in a Chase bank today and overheard a chase bank rep stating to a customer, that the bitcoin is NOT going to last much longer.
Especially because the bitcoin continuing to grow in value. I guess that as a result of the increase and nothing backing and/or supporting it.
That as a result it can no longer continue to exist, if I am understanding this analysis...If somehow there could be a discontinuance of the bitcoin,
how does this effect the other forms of cryptocurrencies???
We'll actually don't know yet until it comes. Everything is surprising you know...
We have some analysis before that Bitcoin will just die but despite all those negative things, we even survive from it and we are already more than a decade of its existence. This means that it remains unpredictable, it might burst or not, but for now, it wasn't on my mind, I'm still optimistic for the future of Bitcoin. And this continuous adoption that we see brings such huge change.

This is just a reminder that the bull run wouldn't last for ever hope you the profit plan has been drafted so once you have it you can start converting some to stable coin while you wait for the bear market to take another advantage of buying more.
Buy low, sell high. Apparently, some people now are selling it already just because they have been contented with the price but those who want more (aiming for $100k) will like to hold.

If you haven't done your profit plan it's better done now or dwell in regret when the bear moment starts. If greed appetite would be a challenge then it's good to start dealing with it now the market hasn't done above it's current ATHs I'm so sure lots of people would still not be prepared for the next bear move preparation is what you need to take good advantage
Well, it is our own market discretion, sometimes we thought that more pumps are to come instead of declines that is why we still hold. I'd never find it greediness but kinda we miss something if we are wrong with our prediction. Making such a decision must be coming from our will so we have nothing to blame in the end but just ourselves only.

3 days of not receiving it to the deposited address that is strange and there is something wrong with your transactions.  Well, might have to check back the following...
*receiving address
*site( might deposited to the wrong/pishing site)
*check the blockchain record to know if it is confirmed

Actually, we can't assess where it goes as you've never posted the complete details of your transaction(s), or just I miss something? But with that case, I'm afraid it was gone forever.
3471  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'm sure altcoins will pump if we hold long on: October 13, 2021, 02:20:50 PM
Each holder will definitely have their own interests, but the true holder will definitely be stronger to plant crypto in a long time. So if we want to cuan, have to save coins for a long time. If you agree or disagree, please give me good feedback. thanks
Agree- if we hold potential coins
Disagree- if we hold shitcoins
At the beginning of a project, it's hard to identify which have potential altcoins and which are shitcoins.  Because at the first glance, they seem good to be true, and also when you check the roadmap everything is fine.  I have seen many projects that seem good at the start but after months they end up in shitcoins.
 
This has come to be a big challenge for us and that is why I don't invest in new projects as somewhat they all look like useless projects with zero market credibility. If we have a plan to invest in the altcoins either was long-term or short-term, we neither have to rush on it as without any searches and background checks not far from getting into trouble.

Investing should be planned accordingly, done with the market analysis and also background check. We need all of these things as we wanted assurance, though not 100% at least we are doing not far from it.
3472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gervonta Davis vs. Rolando Romero - December 5 on: October 13, 2021, 05:42:33 AM


Boxers do take it personally, like what Canelo is for the Caleb fight. And the same here, Davis will definitely go for the KO because he is capable of, and in essence shut the mouth of Romero and give him a lesson not to trash talk to him and any champion.

It seems they hate each other there were circumstances where they almost clash in the street, it's just right that this match is created people love to see bath blood between fighters so they will see if who has the better control of his temper, this Romero is very brazen and arrogant he is telling people that Davis cannot touch, that's impossible Davis is so good at hurting his opponent, even if the opponent has a huge height and reach advantage.

Is that what they are talking about? Saying that this two has history before?

I'm not aware of such clash in the street? Is it when they are still promising fighters or when they are already professional?

In any case, this could be a good story line and maybe this is the reason why the Davis camp chooses Romero instead of chasing the other champion in this division.

If that is true then this would be a nice fight as we will surely a real fight where fighters would give their very best to prove they are the best. It looks like Romero has no respect on the champion, he doesn't respect the KO power of Tank Davis, but let's see if he can handle that in the actual fight.
3473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 13, 2021, 05:08:54 AM
My bets for today:

Magnolia -3.5 @1.92 boosted
SMB ML @1.90

An SMC team is surely to take a seat in the finals, Magnolia is just too lethal for Meralco to take down for now. Almazan is not 100% percent healthy so he is not a big help to Meralco even if he will play, it will just aggravates his injury so better for him to rest.

SMB vs TNT series is just too hard to predict for me so i just bet using my heart this time as a Beermen fan  Grin. I'm okay though if TNT would take this series as for the fans to see another faces in the finals this time. 

I see your point. Magnolia is very capable to take the first sit, unless they will careless like Clippers way back. But talent wise they really have a good edge against the opposing team, and just like what I have mentioned without Almazan The Pinatubo Bro will keep going inside, then here comes the guards of magnolia, If Lee will explode again this series will be finished, not far to happen Roll Eyes

SMB fan here too!  Wink I want to see them playing the same level as how they dominated TNT last game 4. If that happens, they will take the lead and have the greater chance of winning this series.

By way, how about the rigging stuff?  Grin Cheesy kidding aside Good Luck !



Positive news for the Bolts.

Bolts get Almazan, Jackson, Jamito back in time for Game 5

Bolts look healthy again, they will be able to help their team in this elimination game, however, I think I would agree with bisdak40 as it's too late for them, they won't be 100% healthy and the Magnolia are still very healthy and a stronger team to defeat them.

Agree- if we hold potential coins

As per to see that the market is growing, the holding has a bigger chance to make a huge profit. But it was also a big challenge for those who have only limited source of income and most it happens that some holders are urged to sell their crypto because of some emergencies.

Maybe I can hold 1-2 years depending on the market situation but for sure I don't hold forever. I rather enjoy spending my investment rather than dying holding our coins.
3475  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The HODL to 100K movement on: October 12, 2021, 08:59:18 PM
No doubt that strategy “to hodl BTC” is one of the simplest strategies that in any case guaranties profit. So, you decided to hodl your BTC up till 100K and then what? Withdraw everything? But haven’t you thought that after 100K ATH Bitcoin (in some period of time) will make another one ATH (for instance, 150K, or 200K, or 500K)? And you’ve already withdraw everything and spent on your needs. By the way it’s really very hard just to hodl and wait for many years till some happy moment. A lot of investors-hodlers once start trading on BTC fluctuations to double their amount of crypto coins.
Maybe you're right but could you think that you can assure everything will go like that and still be able to hold? I don't think so and it was because of the volatility of the market makes people can't hold. And I'm sure that nobody had bought Bitcoin 10 years ago and hold it until now, that might prove to me that I was wrong.

Because the reality is that people will take every opportunity to make a profit and make a sell when they saw it. Like if the price of Bitcoin will reach $100k they sell their Bitcoin and then reinvest it again. Nothing has been said to hold straight due to the fact that the market is moving up and down which buy low and sell high applies.
3476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 12, 2021, 01:14:04 PM
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.

Floyd was really unique. Floyd Mayweather to boxing is what Tiger Woods is to golf, or Cristiano Ronaldo to football. I really doubt whether any other fighter would be able to achieve as much success as Mayweather did. He earned hundreds of millions of USD from his boxing career and others like Canelo are far behind him. Even Mike Tyson at his prime couldn't earn as much as Mayweather. Will Canelo ever be able to match him? I really doubt that. Canelo doesn't have the same fan following as Mayweather.

Almost $500 million and up being earned by Floyd if I'm not mistaken. So he is there on top of everyone including Canelo.

But I think Canelo will be the second boxer in the list after retirement. Mayweather has different set of fans, they watch and buy live tickets because they want to see him lose, lol. But so far still undefeated record.

According to this article, https://wealthygorilla.com/richest-boxers-world/

Floyd is the richest boxer in the world with a $560 Million net worth and I guess it's not included what he earned after professional boxing as he has been making money still on exhibition fights.

I think the article is not accurate, how come Canelo is not included when this article says that his net worth is $140 million already.

https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/richest-boxers/sal-lvarez-net-worth/

Quote
Saul Alvarez Net Worth:
$140 Million
Saul Alvarez Net Worth and Career Earnings: Saul Alvarez, AKA "Canelo", is a professional Mexican boxer in the Light Middleweight division who has a net worth of $140 million. Alvarez is a four-division world champion who has been described as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the sport, as of 2020. Saul Alvarez has proven a formidable opponent for virtually every fighter he's ever faced.

And take note, he is still active and he can still grow this net worth as he continues to have more fights.

Looks like Erram is unlikely to play in game 5.

The odds are out and SMB is currently -2.5 which we didn't see in the previous games that they have this kind of spread early.
I guess I would just wait for the game time and see if Erram is available, if he is out then probably I would not hesitate betting on the SMB but if he will play, then I would try to bet on the TNT hoping they'll win in game 5.

If you are not sure about the news that spreads out, best to wait during the live game and bet when Erram is not there, but expect that the odd

will change a lot, this young center has a big impact on TNT, scoring and defending wise.

Yes, I would do that, the news says that Erram might have a fracture on his cheekbone but there's no official statement regarding his injury yet and since game 5 will be tomorrow, I would just wait, no need to hurry because I can still bet during a live game and I might be able to take a good odds if SMB will start strong again. Also, I'm looking forward to the TNT making an adjustment, so hopefully, I'll be able to see that in the first quarter.

How about the Meralco vs Magnolia, aren't you guys talking about this?

Betting odds are also available, this is a close-out game for Magnolia and I think they will make sure the series will end tomorrow.
Hotshots is only -3.5 now, I think this is a gift as they won by huge margin in their last 3 wins.

There are some online courses that can really help you get in track but they're a rare gem online as the most popular online courses are just clickbait or just a quick cash grab for the creators of those courses, you're right that it's all theories but at the same time we also need to do some applications on those theories.
That's where they make money most.

From the sales of those courses that they make and they're earning from thousands to millions there instead of actual trading. They know how to sell and they know the basics about trading.

But there are those pure that just want to share their knowledge.
Yes, it believes not all sites are said to be clickbait and I don't make it generalized as still many sites out there that are worth reading and really giving us some thoughts. But of course, it needs comes to the application of what we gain from them as this was the best thing to do, not just to read and watch it.

let say that learning from trading is risky and aside from that, it is expensive in a way that we have to invest money and time, likely having an effort is really in need. Otherwise, we got nothing and abandoned our plan.

keeping in mind that not all people who had come in here are meant to become long-term holders, many got loosen their hands and then sell their Bitcoin for some reason. I know you have a good market vision but very unfortunate that you can't dictate the plan of the others. We must talk about the reality here, I know $100k is not far from happening, yeah, it will come soon but never know when and it was too hard to please people to believe that.

Does holding really make sense? if that you think, this will only destroy the volatility of the market which makes the market more attractive and interesting. And this will certainly not be going to happen.
