I'm not using FTX since many people are recommending it because of its low ETH fees but if you are comfortable sharing your personal information to them then just create an account on that exchange.

If you really want to withdraw that 100$ in your MEW, there is no way around but to pay those ridiculous ETH gas fees. Well, as long as you are not paying more than the total amount of money that you want to withdraw then it is all good if you really want to withdraw it. This is the reason why I'm not using ETH anymore when I'm transferring coins/tokens. The fees are very high that I can't afford it anymore.

Do you have any pattern that you see or watch in the market to determine time to sell your hodlings and take your profit ?
No pattern at least for me.
I'm just setting a certain percentage that whatever happens if it reaches that mark then I will take profit.

Do you regret not selling your coins at any point because you didn't know it will drop ?
There are times and I know that some experienced it as well but as long as you sold your coins at a profit then there is nothing wrong. For me, there is no specific time on when to sell your tokens. You just need to set a percentage that if it reaches that then just sell it whatever happens.

The Boston Celtics have finally found their rhythms and finally beat the 76ers for the first time this season and they demolished them throughout the quarters. They are now number 6 in the Playoff spot, if they continue such a high level of plays, they have a chance to climb up to the top 3 and secure their playoff spot after the all-star week.


After having a shaky start, the Celtics managed to win 9 straight games and they really demolished the 76ers without Harden.
Many are seeing 76ers as one of the contenders right now and you lost by 48 points :|. I mean that is a huge margin but maybe it wasn't their night though.

It seems like the new players that Celtics got really is helping the team and its good to see Tatum and Brown at their best performance again. Until now though at the time I'm posting this, I can't move on on the step back three attempt of Embiid Cheesy.

I'm saddened with the news about Alaska Aces retiring in PBA.  Cry
Have you seen the news about their retirement announcement just today?
(https://www.facebook.com/OneSportsPHL/photos/a.678816935473756/5384685194886883/)
It's been so long, when I was still young, I've been watching them. Now that I'm old they're still there but this news has surprised me.
I saw it a few hours ago and its very sad to see a team leaving PBA.
You can see their achievements on their post as well: https://www.facebook.com/664518660236917/posts/5384903581531711

Its been decades since the franchise is in the league and maybe its time for them to leave. I don't know the exact reason but my theory into why they are leaving because of competition of the league and maybe the pandemic as well. On the other hand though, many companies are interested still to get the spot and SM is one of them.

Is Bitcoin the best investment at the moment?I've been trading options on BTC for about three years now, and I've made significant gains, how does everyone invest?
Best investment? Its very subjective for me but I can say that it is and its my opinion only and it may not be to others.

Ask those people who made huge profits in Bitcoin and they will say that it is the best investment for them. On the other hand though, ask those investors who lost huge money in Bitcoin because they got FOMO'ed and they might say that it isn't the best or for them it might be the worst investment for them. In terms of profitability though in the last decade (2010-2020), Bitcoin has the highest percentage gains compare to other investments including stocks, gold etc. but it is the most volatile of them all that is why it jumped huge in the last decade.

Well at the moment, I might say that yes Bitcoin is the best investment but I still believe in diversification so you might want to invest into other assets as well.

Hello! Is it still worth to invest into ICOs? If so, how do I find the good ones? Any recommendations here ?Smiley
From research ICO (initial coin offering) seems to be dead right now, and their are many reasons to it, but scam has the highest percentage as a reason to the death of ICO also the coming in off many other Crypto-currency features is making it hard for ICO to even recover, I don't have any recommendations for you concerning an ICO to invest but I would warn you to think this your urge through, because it could be a risky one.
I don't want use the word dead with regards to ICO but I think the correct word to say it is transitioning.

New projects are transitioning overtime. From ICO to IDO to now IGO and it will goes on and on in the future and only the middle letter will be changed Cheesy. Overall, projects that launched their ICO back a few years ago scammed many investors and it will be the same until now. There will be new projects that will be scamming investors. With regards to the OP though, I will not recommend investing into ICO's right now but if you will want to invest into new projects then maybe you can consider investing into new games and the popular ones since it is the one that is popular as of now or maybe just invest into the top coins at least there it is lower risk compare to investing into new projects.

His promoter, De La Hoya seemed to be very sure that he will beat Tagoe here.
But he has the reasons as I believe, Garcia will be the favorite of sportsbooks here.
Though the odds may not be very wide. So the pressure is on Garcia to win this fight to face off with Kambosos Jr.
His dream fight with Pacquiao didn't happen so he better beat all the other champions in his division.
He is still young so he still has a lot to give in the boxing ring. Can he beat Tagoe via KO?
Many are expecting that Garcia will win in this match-up so I think he can beat Tagoe with this.
I would like to see the Garcia-Kambosos Jr fight after this so I will go with Garcia with this fight. I watched some of Tagoe's highlights on youtube though and he seems fast as well but most of his fights are not outside his country though so he isn't as popular as his opponent.

Still, I believe that Garcia will win in this match-up by TKO in the first 6 rounds and will face Kambosos in the future Smiley.

Blackwater did not handled we'll their lead until the end of the match and only a couple of minutes left in order to claim the victory and break their loosing streak. But like you said above the TerraFirma dyip made a surprise to me their fighting sprit is their and still focus on the and that's the reason why they do an shoot after shoot and claim the victory

That was a sure win already. Blackwater wasn't able to hang up. There's no problem with their offense that night but their defense was breakout during the last few minutes resulting in the opponent team getting through.

Just a little bit and they will break their losing streak. Their next game is against NLEX Road Warriors which is now on 2 games losing streak. If the same performance will be shown by them last night, they have a chance to defeat this team.
Nahhhh the game is rigged Cheesy.

Kidding aside, they almost snap their losing streak on that game but they choked at the final minutes of the game causing them the game and continue their streak. Nevertheless, the import that they got is better than their previous one as he scored 30+ pts on his debut game. On their game against NLEX, I think NLEX will get the W here and the streak of Blackwater continues. If that happens, the Blackwater matches the most losing streak in NBA history of 26. Like @goinmerry, I don't know but I find it happy and at the same time very disappointing to see the team losing and continuing their losing streak.
3549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 15, 2022, 04:07:15 AM
I'm currently watching Brooklyn Nets vs Sacramento Kings where the Nets have been dominating throughout the games thanks to the effort of the newly acquired players. Andre Drumond and Seth Curry. now the Nets have a big chance to stay in the Playoff tree and just like that they got their first win after a long drought. Still, we need to see the other star players on the court too.

Can't wait to see Kyrie and Ben Simmons playing together, I hope it goes well.
~
They are only waiting for Durant, Kyrie and Simmons to play and this Nets team might redeem themselves again and reclaim the top spot.
Their main problem really is their inside defense and their frontlines before the trade happen is really weak. Now they got Drummond that can be a good defender and a good rebounder and you got Curry who scored 23 points in his debut game with his new team. Of course his points will be lesser as Durant and Kyrie plays but still he is a perfect pick by the Nets team as he is a good shooter like his brother.

Hoping still that Kyrie will get vaccinated before the playoffs so that he can help his team to win. Now the 11 game losing streak of the Nets has ended.

So we will see where Harden is going to fit next year in the rotation, it seems that they are ready for big time this season.

Why next year? Is he not gonna play this season?

I think he will have his debut soon, though he is still not playing yet I'm pretty sure he is also excited to play with his new team. James Harden is still one of the superstars in the NBA, with a good teammates especially Harden, I think Sixers will be better and would probably be a championship team.

Maybe what the user is trying to say is, the half-season is not enough to see if James Harden will be fit on the Sixers. But who knows that Harden won't struggle on his new team. In the case that he's struggling to find his rhythm, we can only see the potential of that trade next season.

Sixers is fine before they received James Harden. I hope this team won't change their good momentum because of that trade.
Only time will tell if Harden really fits with the Sixers. Brooklyn is fine with the players that they've got. They got 2 defenders in Simmons and Drummond and a top shooting guard in Curry. Sixers got better now but Nets are more better now.

With regards to Harden, I just hope that his hamstring injury will not be a problem on his performance all throughout the season because many are expecting that they will get the championship because of acquiring Harden and at the same time how Embiid is playing right now. Still Harden will find a way to be efficient in his new team.
3551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 12, 2022, 01:32:47 PM
James Harden still hasn't started to play at 76ers. They played a home game against Thunder last night and won. There is some kind of feeling in me that Harden will be more successful there. I mean the team will perform better compared to Harden's time at Nets. I'm still hoping Harden to win at least one title. He has had a great career in terms of individual statistics so far. But he has won zero title unfortunately. We will see if he will make it at 76ers.
Harden will be more successful there since can be a shooter and at the same time passer but the team itself? I'm not pessimistic about them but I don't think that they can win a title this year and let's take note that they have the one of the best and at the same time choking coach Tongue.

I want Harden to win a title and he almost got it in his first year in Brooklyn but because of injuries, he didn't get it. Well, he might get it in 76ers but still not this year but lets see. I might be wrong with my prediction.
3552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: February 12, 2022, 10:11:33 AM
The game between the BlackWater Bossing and the TerraFirma Dyip has just ended and... damn I thought that the streak of Blackwater will end today because they are leading by 12 at the 5 minute mark of the 4th quarter 96-84 but the Dyip made an 18-0 run to lead by 6 at the 1 minute mark of the quarter and ended getting the victory 109-103. Hmmmmm kinda sus Cheesy JK.

Well, the losing streak continues for the BlackWater but it seems that their new import is stronger than their previous one scoring 35 points and Suerte their new player also got 16 points. Maybe, just maybe the streak might end in their next 2-3 games. Just a prediction Cheesy.

According to the laws of the market, most participants lose their money, and I think that market makers will not raise prices now, because many people bought bitcoin in the range of 45-60 thousand dollars.
I think that this is a big deception and a trap, after which the price will be reduced first to the range of 32 thousand and then even lower, for example, by 25 thousand.

Its very ironic that they are posting this but 2 days after they posted it, Bitcoin and the market are in a correction phase again. I'm kinda curious on how what they are feeling right now or.... I think it is a sign that you must do the opposite when these popular so-called vloggers will post bullish things about Bitcoin.

Even though I've seen Bitcoin stayed above $40,000 for more than a week already, I will not change my sentiments about the market and I'm thinking that Bitcoin will go down below $40,000 again. Well, I might be wrong about it and that's good if we see Bitcoin go even higher because I'm accumulating as well. Smiley

When Musk hyped DOGE, nobody expected that he will do it thus the price of DOGE at that time pumped all the way to ~$0.70.
Will this pump ever happen again with DOGE, possibly yes but the question is which influencer will try to hype it again and will he be as popular and powerful as Musk?

With regards to DOGE to 1$, I'm not leaving the possibility that it can happen since we've seen DOGE pumped so much because of hype. Maybe another hype can put DOGE to 1$ but it will not sustain and stay to that price because of its nature of having an unlimited supply. Its only possible thru hyping it and nothing more.
3555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 12, 2022, 09:22:20 AM
Finally, a discussion far away from the Lakers.  Grin I think we filled 2 pages or more with all speculations about them.

Regarding the lack of Ben Simmons shooting, the Nets could patch it up with their high offensive rate. Durant, Patty Mills, Kyrie, and more can definitely shoot the ball and that includes Seth Curry. He may work like a forward/center to be near the rim and his hooks. Coach Nash doesn't need to force the point guard position on him as long as he can play ball again.
Now the we already saw that the Nets gained more with the Nets-Sixers trade, the question right now is will Kyrie get vaccinated before the playoffs or as early as possible??

Their chances of winning the championship goes down if Kyrie will leave them hanging, will not get vaccinated. Harden is gone already and Durant can't lead the team by himself. Yes the Nets have Curry and Mills as their shooting guards but you need an all-star point guard like Irving especially in the playoffs or especially now that they are in a 10 game losing streak already and counting. I just hope that this time, Kyrie will be vaccinated so he doesn't be a liability to the team.. at least.


If Embiid is more on the title chase, he might learn more from Harden. Sixers will surely benefit with this trade if they will maximize
Harden's talent.
That's the problem right now. Will the Sixers benefit from Harden and I don't think that the Sixers can maximize Harden's talent because of his hamstring injury.
The Nets could've won the series against the Bucks if only Harden was healthy at that time and until now its the same injury that hinders him to be the best Harden that he can be. For sure Embiid wants to get a title but if Harden will leave them especially in the playoffs because of injury then their playoff chances will decrease significantly especially now that they traded so many players and round picks just to get Harden.

The play-to-earn model on its own is unsustainable. By its very nature, it creates an unsustainable pyramid scheme-like system where new players buy in only to create and sell digital goods to those who buy in after them. Above and beyond that, it creates a culture of virtual indentured servitude where individuals are dragged forward by the threat of a lost investment to play a video game at the cost of their own mental and physical health.

All the games build upon this same structure and there is nothing new other than skin color and weapon design. High entry fees in the game and high challenge for new users is demotivating new users to join the system. Only early adopters are earning massively because of those unique teams they got. Unique users registration is decreasing day by day which shows the hype is going down with flame.
Actually, this kind of thing isn't only applied to play to earn model games but all of the games with different genre.
See other MMORPG games for example (not NFT). User registration is only high at its releasing date and its succeeding weeks but after that if the users see the game as hard and repetitive then the number of users registering the game and play will decrease daily.

In terms of the play to earn model particularly the NFT games, I'm playing NFT games and I can say that its kinda like a pyramid scheme like system where early adopters of the game will be the ones who will earn the most. Well, the good thing though in these NFT games is that you have an opportunity to earn while playing unlike playing other games where you are spending money to buy skins or anything related to the game but no return of the user or maybe fun but you can enjoy while earning in these P2E games right?

EDIT: Harden has been traded to the Sixers!

Just read the report from Chams...  Looks like Harden for Simmons is a done deal.  Pretty exciting move for both teams as Simmons wasn't playing and Harden has been terrible this year.  I think it's a win-win for both teams as a result.  I think Harden and Embid makes a better combination than Embid and Simmons.  I'm not sure how Simmons will fit in with the Nets, but I think given that Kyrie and Durant both love to shoot the ball, his style of play won't be as out of place as it was with the Sixers.  I'm looking forward to seeing Simmons play again and although I'm not sure if he is a "big 3" type of guy, he'll definitely have a chance to prove himself.  It can't be worse than the Harden experiment.

Harden is no longer performing the way fans are expecting him, while Simmons, till this date, is not playing.

Yes, it's a win-win for both teams, exploring for another opportunities it's exciting to see what would be the next thing to happen
once these two star players start to perform wearing new jersey.

I'm more on Simmons if how he can help still young and a good 2-way player, if he can build a good chemistry within the Nets
squad, this trade might work.
I just slept for a few hours and now I'm seeing this blockbuster trade. I thought that this will not happen but.... yeah it is what it is.

Both of them have pros and cons but just by seeing at the players that both teams got, I will pick Nets as the winners in this trade.

For the Sixers, you traded Simmons that is not playing obviously and many players including Drummond which is the second big of the team and the sub of Embiid. With him out, who will be the 2nd big of the team?? I looked the roster of the Sixers and they don't have any big that has the same height as Drummond or at least as near as his height. It will be hard for the Sixers to defend especially the paint with Embiid out and take note that he is also prone to injuries. Speaking of injuries, Harden also has a hamstring injury that is until now hindering his performance. This is maybe one of the reason why he can't play like the way he used to when he was in Houston. The pros though is that, their offensive power increases drastically with Harden in the team. We know that he can still put up huge points and can initiate as well.

For the Nets, you got Simmons. A player who can't even shoot the ball and can't even shoot threes. Well, there is a chance that he can develop more skills with his stint in Brooklyn but if he will not develop skills especially shooting then he will be a liability to the team like he was in Philly. Brooklyn is one of the best teams offensively and you will put a player that can't even shoot? Maybe they will utilize his defensive skills since he is a good defender. I just hope that Simmons will be a better player in Nets and develop more skills. The pros though is you got Curry and Drummond. A good shooting guard that probably fall down in the 2nd unit once Durant and Irving is healthy and will play regularly and Drummond which is a big that Brooklyn needs right now because they aren't that good when it comes to defending the paint.

If it is only Harden-Simmons trade I will go for Philly but with many players 76ers needed to trade just to get Harden, its the Nets that is the obvious winner of this trade.

80% of my gains this year came from meme coins but at one point I got tired of them because Devs and scammers focus more on this use case now than anything, it's just a money making opportunity for them now so I stopped investing money on them as they get more unsafe to invest money on
You're lucky that you've made money on meme coins.

Most of the investors are losing money on meme coins because they are buying at the top and got FOMO'ed. Well with regards to the OP, crypto space has lots of opportunities and making money from meme coins is one of them though the risk-reward ratio of it is very high. We've seen many investors who changed their lives investing into meme coins. Some of them tripled their initial investment or even more but there are some who lost it all which is quite unfortunate but its part of investing. Overall, meme coins are just a short term pump and dump coins for me and I'm not recommending them to hold.

I'm sure there are a lot of you who are staking coins. I have a question for you guys: I have a friend who built a doge coin mining farm in order to get some coins and stake them, but I'm not sure how good staking is. How much money do you make from staking each month? People don't seem to be talking about their staking rewards, but miners seem to be...... Wink
Profit from staking differs depending on:
1. How much money did you use to buy the coin.
2. What is/are the coin/s you bought for you to stake it.

Maybe you can check this website to see how much staking reward each POS coin can give annually. https://www.stakingrewards.com/
I've been staking Cardano for almost a year already and with my experience, its good that you are holding a staking coin. You are getting profit both from capital appreciation and from staking rewards. Of course this comes with risk as well especially if the coin that you bought went down. I'm currently holding another coin that is staking but since the price of it went down significantly, I'm at a loss until now even though I'm holding more coins right now because of staking.

Out of all the coins out there, you chose to put your money into DOGE. I think you're one of the investors who got hyped by its recent pump last year and you are hoping as well that it will happen again. Now you are holding a coin that I'm not familiar with (probably a shitcoin) but you already said that it is in a downfall so... yeah you lost even more money.

If you only invested it into Bitcoin and held it then you will not post a thread like this like you are doubting about holding. Aside from luck, you also need knowledge like you said and also experience as well.
