3501  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Now it's meta here and there on: March 10, 2022, 01:05:30 PM
To all newcomers on here pls be careful with projects that start with the name "META" because they are mostly scam projects, since metaverse have become another hot cake in crypto world today this scammers are fully ready to use this on the unknowns, open your eye and do good research before taking that risk... Meta this and mate that are the most dangerous projects today, stay safe.
ICO's are the hype a few years ago. Many developers and fake ones created their own project and scammed people.
IEO's are the hype a few years ago. Many developers and fake ones created their own project and scammed people as well.
DeFi's are also the thing a few years ago. Many people created their own DeFi project and scammed investors.
Now aside from Meta-thingy, NFT's are also the hype as of this moment but now decreasing. We've also seen different projects that ended up as a scam.

My point? Whether it is related to metaverse or related to NFT or whatever that is hype, there will be investors who will get scammed anyway. We are always educating people to do research and do this and do that but still there are some who are falling into scammers. Most of them are doing common ways to scam people but there are some who are falling into it. Being knowledgeable before investing will help you not get scammed so learn first.

"I was not born into a rich family, nor am I one who will receive much inheritance from my parents and I have to work hard to make ends meet." At least that's a sentence from my friend that inspired me to make this thread.

I honestly feel that the sentence above is one of the saddest sentences to hear when someone starts talking about their economic condition. It is clear that everyone is obliged to work to support himself and his family, but when they neglect investment then I believe that these people will never get rich except by a miracle of God.
I can relate with this as I know many people around my place who doesn't know or no idea regarding investment.
I want to teach them since I'm already involved in investments but I don't see any initiative with them or I don't see that they are interested either. I think that they are just happy with what they are doing. Just work hard 8 hours a day or even most just to have some money to be used in their daily lives. Work hard and repeat with no investments at all.

Investing I mean not just crypto investing, but any investment he likes. This allows one to make good profits in the future. That is, the more assets that can be invested, the greater the bright hope for the future. I've heard stories about investing $1000 in crypto making someone a billionaire before (in our fiat currency), and it's a fact to say that don't expect to get rich without investing unless you are the heir to rich parents.
Look at the rich people right now. They worked at first to have some money but aside from that, they learned how to invest in different ways. Now those rich people are invested into business and that is also an investment. I mean working without any investment at all will not make your life better that is why I'm working but at the same time investing a portion of the salary I get into different investments.

Looks like Terrence Romeo will soon have a problem regarding the investment scam where he is involved.

Terrence Romeo sued over bounced check in poultry business

Quote
San Miguel Beermen player Terrence Romeo was sued over a bounced check and a failure to deliver on a promise of returns on investments.

According to Emil Sumangil's report on "24 Oras", Marco said he invested in P10 million in a poultry business with a guarantee that it would yield 25% a month.
You can also watch the video in the link for full details, we are talking of 10 million pesos here from one person only or a representative of a group.
Let me know your thoughts and reaction about this news.
I've watched the news on Youtube regarding this incident and just by seeing the yield that investors can get in one month, I already know that it will not last long especially now that we are at the pandemic or for whatever reason. I see it not sustainable for too long.

25% per month? Most of the popular assets right now can't even give a double digit yield or if they can, they can't do it for a long time. On the other hand though, I don't want to conclude to this because maybe they will make a settlement regarding this and will give back the investment to its investors but I doubt that it will happen. Either way, this issue might affect him but not so much. Remember Thompson's issue? Jalalon's issue? Belga's Issue? Right now nobody is talking to it already and it will be the same here.

That's some stats for Nikola Jokic securing a win for the Denver Nuggets.
35 minutes. 38 points. 18 rebounds.  Shocked 7 assists. This dude is trying to lock the MVP award for him.
Foul trouble, that's the Kings' issue when defending the MVP candidate. Alex Len is not too careful at how he guards him and they don't have a backup center. Lyles tried but not enough to stop the monster. Fox chased the lead but he lacks time even if he can do it all. 32 points for the fastest guy in the league.
Jokic is literally carrying his team and with how he is playing, I'm thinking that he deserves the MVP more than Embiid.
Embiid has a higher PPG but in terms of efficiency and other stats such as Rebounds and FG %, Jokic has better numbers than him. I think the MVP race this season will be between Jokic and Embiid.

A near triple double again for him. I also hope that he will win this year's MVP so he can get a back-to-back MVP's which I think he deserves right? Smiley

After Lebron James, we watched a similar performance by Kyrie Irving last night against Charlotte Hornets. He scored 50 points in this game and that was really incredible to witness. And his field goal and 3-pointer accuracy was so high that it was fabulous. He scored 9 3-pointers which was amazing. Irving is a very special player undoubtedly. But he is able to play in only away games which is a big problem for Nets. I hope that he stops being obstinate and takes the covid-19 jab as soon as possible.
That was the biggest production of Kyrie Irving this season, Durant does not attempt a lot in that game and he just let Kyrie with the hot hand torch the Charlotte. They deserved that win, after their struggle, finally they have a big win and I hope to see them continue winning to earn the momentum going to the playoffs.

Seems that he's been awakened after that huge performance from LeBron and Tatum. Now it's Kyrie who made another

magnificent performance. It's good to see that his teammates are supporting him, knowing that he really has the hot hands during that game

and with the help of other role players who are behind him and KD, they manage to win and stop the losing streak.

Kyrie is always capable of doing that,  but now that Durant is playing with him, he is more inspired because they are just supporting each other. As the playoffs are approaching, they need to be more consistent and I'm sure I'll be putting my bet on them everytime.
And with the restrictions regarding vaccinations likely to be over, I think Kyrie will have the opportunities to play games more often than now where he can only play on road games which I find very inefficient knowing that he is one of the star players of the team.

I can't remember the last time Kyrie scored at least 50 in a single game until now and I know that he is capable of doing that. Another thing that I saw is Drummond's numbers this game. It seems like the smack of Plumlee in his face made him score and rebound way more than the usual although we know that he is capable of getting those though especially in the rebounds. He is a double-double scoring machine back when he is in Detroit. Still waiting on how Simmons fit for the team. Will he be a good fit for the team. Will he be a good addition to the team. Either way, I just hope that this is the start for the Nets team.

The LOSING STREAK IS OVER!!!!!!!!
The Blackwater Bossing ended their 29 game losing streak as they won against the top team right now Magnolia 101-100.
I've already said it in my previous post that Blackwater will give a lose to Magnolia. Not precise though as I thought the Bossing will give them the first loss but they lost to the NorthPort but at least they give them a loss.
Magnolia is still undefeated and which team will give their first loss to them?? BLACKWATER will be the one who will give their first loss to them that's for sure and I might even bet for them if BlackWater and Magnolia will match-up Cheesy. Kidding aside, I think the Meralco Bolts can give their first loss to them. They defeated all the strong teams already like TNT, GSM, and even NLEX.
And in case you can't believe it here are some screenshots that I took while watching it live on my smartphone.

Their first win since October 17, 2020. Barroca gave them the lead 100-99 but he also is the reason why the Bossing also got the lead because of his costly turnover. Well, I just hope that @goinmerry is ok right now because his favorite team's streak is finally over.

What are you people suggesting, is this time to buy bitcoin or a time to just to have sold and wait for another bull market because this time will be more of the bears than bulls while the bulls are turning to bears making the market not to favor the upside.

Please, give accurate information as you are think it can be, we all still know that bitcoin price will rise and reach ATH again.
Accurate information = certainties isn't it since you are asking for an information that has a high chance to happen. Well, certainties in the market is irrelevant and not applicable because it is only possibilities that can happens. We know that no one knows what will happen.

I remember my 2 friends just last week who bought Bitcoin at its peak. They shared it to me and told the mistake that they've done. Now they are a lose since thy bought at the peak. I just suggested to buy Bitcoin when the price is near or below $40,000 at least the risk is lesser and the reward is higher. Bitcoin will rise again and reach new ATH. Its only a matter of time when it will happen.

Just right now, Bitcoin is at the $42,000 price because of the leaked statement coming from Biden with regards to crypto but I doubt that it will sustain it because this might be a false breakout and we will go below $40,000 again in the next few days.

100k energy na yata  per train kapag nasa tier 9 .  Sakit na sa energy kapag inupgrade ang mga inner force, apat yan x 5 kaya abot din ng 2M energy ang kailangan para maging ready to promote to tier 10.  Yun nga lang ang problema wala spirit treasure akong nakita para magpabilis ng gather ng energy puro sa pet lang.  Kaya nakikita ko nito habang tumatanda ang server mas magmamahal ang energy dahil sa pataas ng pataas ang consumption habang nagpoprogress ang character kaya dapat talagang mag-ipon na ng energy ang mga alt para ibenta.
Just to add lang sa mga pampabilis ng Energy Gathering, meron din pong Energy Gathering Boost sa Spectrumite kaso need mo muna mag level 85 at Tower of Quintessence Level 12 para makapagsuot ka ng spectrumite.

With regards naman sa training ng Inner Force, talagang masakit sa energy yan kasi kahit ako ung 2M kong Energy ko na naipon mabilis rin na naubos kaya if may alts kayo pwede nyo rin pag Energy Gather AFK tapos ibenta sa market kasi talagang kakailanganin un ng mga top players at wala silang time para mag gather dahil mas pipiliin pa nilang mag pa-exp kaysa sumayaw sayaw (energy gathering).
3509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are NFT Tokens a Good Long Term Investments? on: March 09, 2022, 10:46:38 AM
Is it better to trade NFT tokens rather than holding it for longterm?
I'm invested into some NFT tokens and metaverse tokens but I have no plans of holding them in the long term but maybe in short to mid term.

The NFT hype is over already (I think) and we are now seeing those NFT games that survived the onslaught. On the other hand we've seen some NFT games as well that turned out to be a scam because they rug-pulled. In the end, I don't think that taking our advice seriously will help you. It would be better if you will do your own research as always because its your own money.

Finally a win for the Brooklyn Nets with Kyrie Irving 50 points, and Durant on the court, They beat the Hornets easily and they will improve when Ben Simmons joins them in the court as well but when will he return to the court to play with them? that's a major question right now because they keep changing the schedule, They should be added to the starting 5 because they are struggling right now and we might not see them play in the playoffs if they keep winning a few games like this.
After dealing with his mental problem, now Simmons is having a back problem. What the F is wrong with that dude? I'm thinking that he doesn't wanna play at all with his new team but... well I hope that isn't the case.

Either way, it seems like its Kyrie's night as he scored 50 against the Hornets on the road. I think that the Nets team are really good when even Simmons isn't playing because they are somehow a better defensive team after the Simmons-Harden trade because of their additional players. I just hope that Simmons will play as soon as possible because many are waiting for him. Many Nets fans are waiting for him to play.
3511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 08, 2022, 02:49:23 PM
They've just lost the second spot to the Memphis Grizzlies, but it's going to be a wire finished between this two teams.

Yes, they almost tasted victory against the Nuggets, if they were able to sustain their run on the fourth. Actually at the start of the last quarter they are in front by 7 point lead and Poole had a back to back 3's. But the Nuggets comes back, lead by Jokic, push the ball in the last 7 minutes and eventually got the lead.

Jokic was really extraordinary, the team can rely on him when it's winning time. Not a bad loss for the Warriors as they are not expected to win, but hopefully sooner they'll be able to stop their losing streak, it's not good going to the playoffs.
With how he is playing right now, I'm thinking that Jokic deserves the MVP more than Embiid this season. Well, its just my opinion though and I'm just looking at their stats Smiley.
Anyway, not a bad game for the Warriors though as they played with most of their players especially their all-star players out (maybe because of load management). Denver is playing good right now and Jokic is carrying the team but the question is can he still carry the team in the playoffs. Is there anybody knows if Murray will come back this season or at least in the playoffs or even just MPJ?

On the other hand, the Warriors are 2-8 in their last 10 games and now at the 3rd spot. I don't know if its only me but I think that adding Thompson to their rotation just made the team worse than what they are without him. I mean I know how helpful Thompson is with the team but Poole for me is more efficient than him especially in the offense. I hope that they will make some adjustments with this and hoping as well that Draymond will come back as soon as possible because this team is lacking a floor general like what CP3 is doing in Phoenix.
3512  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Conditions of bounty campaigns these days on: March 08, 2022, 12:43:45 PM
Hello guys
Are you guys really getting paid from the Bounty campaigns these days? What are you earning on an average per week? How many campaigns are you working in?
I think alot of changed since 2018.
Correct me but I don't think that there is any difference from the Bounty campaign right now and what it was 3-4 years ago where ICO's are the most popular ones.
The only difference I think is that there are more projects right now that are either scam or aren't paying the bounty hunters etc.

Bounty Campaigns in 2018 aren't the same as now as the amount of money a hunter can get in a campaign is lower than what it is a few years ago. I still remember me joining in one translation campaign and I got tokens that had a value. Held the tokens for a moment hoping that it will rise but it didn't. I exchanged that tokens that I got and bought a new smartphone because of it.
3513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Disorder ? on: March 08, 2022, 12:01:25 PM
According to the article the parents of the 24 Year old teacher blamed inadequate Gambling treatment and medicines available right now, also improper assesment of Gambling disorder. Their son became an addict by using fixed odds at the age of 16-17 and ultimately his addiction spiralled out of control.
Well, that is what most of the time happens when a gambler can't control himself and become addicted to gambling.
I've seen people online that got addicted in gambling to the point that they will borrow money to their colleagues and will sell most of what they have just to have money to use to either recover their losses or to just gamble itself because they are addicted already. Ending? They will be depressed and I don't know if there are some who are committing suicide because of it but I hope they aren't thinking of it.

Do you think the laws needs improvement?
Do you think as the parents mentioned that Gambling industry has a *predatory* stance, is true?

I think there are laws in every country regarding gambling but with gambling right now mostly online already because of the pandemic, I doubt that the government can make law improvements especially with the age limit that is allowed to gamble. Gambling can change your life positively or negatively and as an adult and as a gambler, we should know the consequences that gambling might give to us.

I am planning to invest 5000usd every month into crypto for next 3 years . So please suggest me which coins to buy how much. I am not a risky trader or investor i want to play a safe game as much as possible 
Lets make it short and concise but profitable at least for the next 3 years.
50% BTC, 25% ETH, 25% distribute it to the top 10 coins.

I'm more of a conservative investor than an aggressive one that is why I prefer investing in the top coins as they have the lowest risk but at the same time they give a low reward. Well like most are saying here, learn first and know the risks that you might face whenever you invest your money. Learn what can happen and absorb it so that you will not feel anything when the worst thing happens. Be emotionless when you are investing and like I said, stay on the top coins Smiley.
3515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 08, 2022, 07:58:04 AM
Philadelphia 76ers v Chicago Bulls is really like a playoff game. Each one of them is doing an amazing job in this season. And my expectation level from each of them is quite high truthfully. Especially 76ers are really promising for the playoffs and even the title. I also believe that Harden has made a huge contribution to the team already now. The Harden - Embiid duo is going to be really great in the playoffs too hopefully. And when it comes to this game, I believe in 76ers to destroy their competitor.

Right now the 76ers have all the advantages because they will try to win this game since they lost their last game without James Harden. now he is playing again and has 11 points in halftime. As the Bulls are struggling today, they continue to catch up not letting the lead reach up to double-digit at the end of the first half. Anything can happen in the last 24 minutes of the game I hope it would be a last-minute battle between these two current heavyweight teams.



Rough game for the Bulls, dropping their fifth straight game. However it was really a fair matchup. The Bulls were missing three starters, Vucevic, Ball, and Patrick Williams. Also still have Alex Caruso out. So they were down four of their best players and 3 starters, so not really a fair fight. The sixers are a damn good team though, but I can’t wait to see the Bulls play them when healthy.


After winning 6 straight games, the Bulls have lost 5 straight. It seems like the absence of most of their star players like Ball, Vucevic and Caruso is being felt. With their losing streak, they are now at the 4th spot and 4.5 games behind the top spot.

With the Sixers, they are 5-0 when Harden is playing with them and he is averaging 12.4 assists in his last games which is very insane. His gameplay really shifted from a prolific scorer when he is in Houston to a shooter and passer when he is in Brooklyn and he carried it now that he is in Sixers. I just hope that he will not get injured during the playoffs because it will be a huge loss if he will not play at that moment especially now that many are betting for them to win the championship.

Just to add, with the Spurs win against the Lakers, Coach Popovich tied with Don Nelson in the most number of regular season wins and he will surpass it this season so advance congratulations for him already.
The Kings have had their 16 losing seasons in a row and that is the longest in NBA history: LINK

I will call myself hypocrite if I will pick Cardano with this even though I'm holding it and staking as of this moment. Cardano is a good project. The only problem that many seeing is that their updates are very slow but they are doing it slowly but surely and they don't want to put an update that might lead to the downfall of the project that is why they are doing is slowly.

TBH, its hard to pick 2 of the coins that you want to sell because all of them are very good long term coins especially that all of them can give you passive income thru staking. I will not pick any of them because they really are a good source of passive income so I would suggest adding some capital from you and just use that to buy other tokens Smiley.

Too bad to see how devastating if the FUDs hit the market before but for now, people are actually had learned already and they become more hesitant upon hearing them. We are still surrounded by these things, fake news, and market manipulations but to look at how they respond to this, they remain calm and that is how to see the market never went down too fast, instead it stays calm and still healthy.
I still remember the time where just a single negative news that will be posted in the internet will make the market go down double digit percentage but at the same time, a positive news will make the market go up as well.
The point is, we are learning. We know what to do when FUDS or negative news are on the internet. We are maturing. We know how to stay calm if there is a storm (FUDS). Though there are some investors who are still panicking, most of us just remain patient and calm and let the market do its thing.

It is really possible to have recoveries this month, not that strong but I feel it.

What do you guys think about it?
Maybe if the Ukraine-Russia war will end this month then probably.
I don't know but it might have an effect towards what is happening now because when Russia declared war, market went down and days after it went up. Maybe if there are some good news then it might help the market to recover or.... maybe we will just see the market recover out of nowhere. We've seen it happened many times already that market is going up without any reason whatsoever.

The sanctions that other countries have been put to Russia really is severe that will affect the country in the long run especially the people out there that is why they are protesting to stop the war as well because they are the ones who are suffering the most in the current war that is happening. They can adopt it but I don't think that all of them will accept it as not all of the people out there can access it but even though they will try to adopt it, their economy will still suffer and will suffer even more in the future as sanctions are being given to Russia.

You have to understand that he is still a rookie, and therefore he is bound to make mistakes and this first season is his learning experience. He should be better in the next season if the Rockets would still give him a chance to play more minutes. Green maybe not delivering our expectation, first the favorite in the dunk contest, and he lose, and it looks like he would also not gonna win the ROY.
Yes, I agree. Green has a lot of room for improving and he is just starting that. Gaining experience and soon the consistency will be there.
Rockets is actually a strong team but they are young, prone to mistakes and bad choices during game time. I wish Rockets management will build on their trio, KPJ, Sengun, and Green. Let them have their chemistry and not trade them for anyone.
That lineup is not enough to be a championship team, or a playoff team, just my personal opinion though, but I think they need a real all star to join them and lead the team. This team is used to be a good team, they had Harden, it was a playoff team but later Harden was traded, and WB as well.

So not much expectation for the team now, but let's see how the management will experiment to improve the team next season.
Aside from OKC, I think the Rockets is also tanking this season as well to get better draft picks in the upcoming draft.
Another thing too is that, there is nothing to expect from them because just by looking their roster and you will already know if they will be a championship contender or not. Like I said, they are tanking this season so that they can get better draft picks.

With regards to their current line up, I think they are developing Green and KPJ for years and maybe they might let Wood stay because he is an efficient big that can shoot outside as well. If they fail to develop these 2 players then they really need an all star to led the team but as of this moment, they are developing these 2 because these will be their all-star players Smiley. Lets just give them some time then we will see if the risk was worth it or not.

Rug pull? Its far from that.

We've seen people donating Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and even DOGE to their address and they successfully donated much that will help the country.
There is somebody who also made a Ukraine flag NFT and they bought it and the money went from the government.

This is the short definition of a rugpull base on Coinmarketcap. LINK
Quote
A rug pull is a malicious maneuver in the cryptocurrency industry where crypto developers abandon a project and run away with investors’ funds

I didn't see any developers here nor a project and no run away with investor's funds. Investors and donators donated the money because they want to help and calling it as a rug pull is very irrelevant and out of the topic. Lets just think that all of the money that they got has been given thru initiative and not because they want to invest in a project whatsoever. There is no project here but just a donation and those who want to donate will just donate.
