Just wondering, SMB almost lost with Alaska while NP without Greg they beat them with 28 points, seems that only the Hotshots is the one who's performing for SMC.

Maybe it's a setup or rigged Grin Roll Eyes Just for the laugh!


Stop that rigged thing, lol.

Well, Ginebra really struggles, it's very evident in their games and I will bet against them in their game tomorrow.
There's only one game tomorrow and maybe I will consider betting on the Phoenix Fuelmasters to win by 11+.

I checked the bookies I used, no odds release yet, maybe in the evening, it will be up.

3542  Economy / Speculation / Re: El Salvador run or survive? on: September 23, 2021, 11:29:51 PM
El Salvador is already one of the people that big investors talk about, because he has strong principles against the large number of bitcoin adopters after he legalized bitcoin as a legal medium of exchange in his country. while the market conditions are fluctuating, will he be influenced to sell or will he continue to survive? current issue!
What do you think about El Salvador amid price fluctuations?
They probably think the situation like this before they adopt and choose to get involved in this risky investment and I'm sure that they are well-prepared for the dumps that most of us think will give losses to everyone. I'm not seeing this to have a huge negative impact on the market nor El Salvador will decide to stop but I see this as an opportunity to accumulate more as they started already.

We sometimes overly think about the market, we usually think negatively once the market is in the red. Should we have to keep that kind of mindset? I don't think so, it is time to put an end but instead to support and boost them.
3543  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador bought more BTCs on: September 23, 2021, 10:17:21 PM
Ehh, the dip buying is a bit more of a PR move in my opinion. He "only" bought 150 BTC, which is more or less $6.8 million. Whereas while El Salvador is definitely not a powerhouse country levels of wealthy, I don't think that $6.8 million will make a significant dent on their balance sheet.

If this $6.8 million purchase is the only transaction they are going to perform in the entire year, then it may be an insignificant amount. But that is not the case. If I am not wrong, the government has already made purchases 3-4 times during the last 2 weeks. And doing by this rate, the combined worth may easily be in hundreds of millions of USD by the end of this year. And for an impoverished country like El Salvador, these amounts can be quite considerable. From what I heard, their gold reserves amount to just $3 billion.
if they consistently are doing that, they might one of the bagholders of Bitcoin at the end of this year. One of those whales who holds a million dollars worth of Bitcoin but with their economic capabilities, that seems so hard for them. Well, we never know their plans, they might keep it secret until we've heard the news about it.

But this it looks more interesting move from the government and they are pushing through wide crypto adoption.

Maybe we just breach ourselves into getting excited coz it wasn't the time yet, we just have to wait for a little while. Well, that is it's up to you if you make a buy early as there is no wrong with that, and besides, the market will surely getting back high again.

But for me, I'm still preparing for it. That surely it comes but I'd never think this could stay for longer as if the buying demand will increase, that definitely it pumps after. We should have to check the market from time to time or else, we might miss a better opportunity. However, we can make a buy all the time, only it matters on the price.
3545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Do Young Investors Prefer Cryptocurrencies? on: September 23, 2021, 12:59:47 PM
Young investors follow the trend of the times, they will pay more attention to new things and have great interest in them, willing to accept greater challenges and spend more time learning.
Cryptocurrency use and trading investment are all carried out on the Internet, and young people will be more familiar with the Internet. And compared with traditional profit-making methods, the high rate of return of cryptocurrency in a short period of time can attract them to invest in cryptocurrency.
That means young investors are exposed to cryptocurrencies more than these traditional investors. With such online market promotion, it leads to a new discovery for them and such interest gradually increases until such a point that they start digging and learning. We might say that these people are too young to make decisions but when it comes to online activities, they are more knowledgeable which is vital in this investment platform. Which it serves them as their advantage.

What do you think about Calvin Oftana?

This guy made history breaking Alan Caidic's record, and he is still in his rookie year now, so what do we expect about him. will he become a star player of the NLEX to replace Ravena who are now playing in the B League?

3547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: September 23, 2021, 05:22:14 AM
Casimero needs to take care of Butler first if he wants to have a chance to fight Inoue.

Looks like the fight this coming December is not gonna happen, so it's a bit disappointing, but it is what it is.
It's mandatory and therefore he has to fight Butler and he should continue to train hard and give the fans an impressive win.
3548  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Price Prediction – Will ETH Hit $5,000 Soon? on: September 22, 2021, 03:55:35 PM
5k? I think the end of this year or next year. people say ETH is the coin of the future like BTC. ETH increased strongly when ETH 2.0 was launched and the price increased to $3.9k although it hasn't beat their record high of 4 months ago. even though the market is red I still believe ETH will go to 5k.
No matter how long it takes, ETH has that potentials, it can be one day we got to reach that value. But I think the current upgrade wasn't enough to push the market up, it needs more project support and the change of fees from lower it down as this was the big problem that we have face today. Imagine paying $15-$20 in a single transaction? No, not all have the guts to pay for that amount especially when you are just about to move $100.

If this could be addressed with the developer, it will certainly bring back the higher demand where we have seen before and probably more users to come.   

3549  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is CoinMarketCap a scam? on: September 22, 2021, 01:55:42 PM
Coinmarketcap is a real and genuine platform for crypto market analysis, where coins that have entered the CMC  have good value in the future,
CMC has its own criteria in assessing a coin where what is seen is the volume of sales within a certain time which is determined by CMC itself Maybe
so Coinmarketcap is definitely not a scam for me

But CoinMarketCap was acquired by Binance for $400M on Apr 1, 2020. That's why there can be something fishy from Binance.
Again its true that Binance can make their own decisions in CoinmarketCap website easily.So we should research by own to know about the project details beside CoinmarketCap.
Does it mean that Binance now is controlling the market today? I don't think so and in fact, I'd never know how it does but what I saw is that the market remains decentralized and it moves freely in accordance with the demand and market supply.

With that Binance listing have their own criteria, that's their rules and I think there is no need to question than unless it was really questionable but as it talks only about listing, I believe there is such a requirement. Does the rank really matter? I'd never look that hard but I'd rather look at the potentiality and use-case of the project as that was the ticket for its success, not their ranks.
3550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: September 22, 2021, 10:35:49 AM
Casimero is open to whoever he might get into the fight that he wishes. He will just continue his strategy by doing the trash talks.
He saw the effectiveness of it and he'll just do it again. But the match against Inoue has even happened yet and it's normal for fans to think of another possible match in the future while the match hasn't taken action yet.
Will see if there's no fight that will happen this year, then probably we will not anymore see the Inoue vs Casimero fight soon.

Let's wait for further updates in regard to this match if this will be pushed and if we will see the finalization of the date.
Inoue and Casimero will match and the possibility of it is high. And for Casimero and Donaire, it's the next speculation that might happen but let's all think of the upcoming match first before it.

Looks like the war between Donaire and Casimero is over as Casimero already apologize and he wants the fight to happen.

3551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 22, 2021, 09:30:55 AM
With a complete cast, Warriors always have that chance, plus the fact that fans will always love them. Surely it will be an interesting upcoming season.
Just to add, it's the scary plays of Steve Kerr and the way he rotates his players. Credits to his former coach Phil Jackson, he did inherit most of his strategies from watching all of it in the bench.
GSW is a scary team whenever they are healthy, we might see them pull out some big surprises next season, but let's hope Thompson will survive and will not be injured again, we badly need the splash brothers to play together and bring the GSW into a high success.
3552  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is telling people you're into stocks "cool" but crypto is a big secret? on: September 21, 2021, 10:37:05 PM
Ever noticed how people would boast or proudly proclaim (or at least used to) that they invest and trade stocks, but they don't feel the same way about crypto, as if it's a secret never to be shared? Why is that?

Perhaps, they wanted to keep anonymous, and likely they don't want to share how it does unless if there is someone who will talk and ask them. And the other reason why keep silent about this stuff is that people are not going to believe what they say, I guess everyone is doubtful and not going to believe them. If I were in that person, I'd never be vocal also to the others and why I have to waste time telling them as they don't even bother themselves to appreciate but instead of saying it was a scam. I have the reason also to keep silent.
3553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Hafthor Bjornsson vs Devon Larratt on: September 21, 2021, 09:47:43 PM
~

Ah, you know what, I get what you are saying, but I have to give it to Thor, he has been working on his fundamentals. Now, the problem is that he has not had enough experience for those fundamentals to really be solid in an actual fight. But you are not wrong.
Congratulations, you've made the right guess as he did won this match up, it seems that the fundamentals you're talking are showing off their results in the ring. Of course I'm not wrong, I was pointing out what's obvious.
Thor just did what he is supposed to do, imposed his will on the ring but using his advantage which is a little boxing skill, and his height and reach. It wasn't a devastating loss by Devon, but if the referee did not count it as KO, he would have suffered more damage as Devon was just a punching bag fighter a bigger and taller guy. THOR was really strong just like a character in marvel comics.
3554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jamel Herring vs Shakur Stevenson on: September 21, 2021, 09:29:02 PM
I would put my money on Herring on this one. He's got the upper hand when it comes to height, reach, and experience.
A former US Marine, for sure that guy is built even harder than Stevenson.
I wouldn't be surprised if this would be Stevenson's first loss. Cheesy

Probably  Smiley, due to the many wars in the ring Jamel Herring got that chance to upset Stevenson but this fight is tailored to make the latter look good in the ring and this is a prelude to Shakur vs Oscar Valdez in the future. Jamel is retiring soon and it could happen after this fight if ever he loses.

Top Rank is grooming Shakur to be one of their elite fighters so he should take care of Jamel with impressive performance for him to be a crowd drawer in his next fights.

With that kind of odds, there's a little chance that  Jamel Herring could upset the favorites here, Top Rank knows what they are doing, they'll not go into a fight if their fighter doesn't have the end, and odds don't lie, even if we don't make a research, it's pretty obvious that Shakur would likely dominate the fight.
3555  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: September 21. HUGE dump! on: September 21, 2021, 05:48:04 PM
Those who know how volatile the market is will simply consider all the dumps as a normal price correction. Maybe you are right OP, we can't be sure that it was just a sort of price correction, or that will be literally a start for the bear season. This gonna be just a sort of market speculation, yeah, we can't tell exactly what will happen next and most of us are very optimistic as these were just normal changes. Well, I hope so but can't be just so easy instead to keep prepared for it.
3556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: September 20, 2021, 09:03:10 PM
There is really no need to compare Dirk and Luka since the two acknowledge each other.

...
the big disappointment for the Mavs is KP, they should trade him and look for a big man that is dominant inside as I think that's what they need since Luka is sorrounded by a lot of shooters.
Yes he is a disappointment so far. I can't tell if he has problems with the team chemistry and strategy or if his injury has affected his mentality and how he plays. I actually a lot when he joined Luka and the Mavs. I'm looking for improvements next season. I think that will be his last chance to prove that he's useful.

Comparing is a normal thing, just like comparing Lebron to Kobe though they are friends, it's just a the spirit of competition, even for some who played in one team. Dirk is successful and Luka does the same, but as a fan, we can see the stats, the way they play and carry their team, so we can't help but compare, but no hate for both players, only respect.

Regarding KP, yes, it's a chemistry problem, and he lose his aggressiveness inside, I don't know what happen but because he has the skills to shoot outside, he seemed to forget to use his height to dominate the paint and score inside. We thought KP would be the next Dirk, but at the point of his career now, I think it will not happen.

He played 2 seasons already with the Dallas Mavericks, and if you look at his stats, you will be impressed but it's different from what we see in the actual game as we like to see his impact, like doing the last shot or lead the team to win against good teams in the NBA.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/porzikr01.html

his average PPG in the last 2 seasons with the Mavericks is 20 points, for a big man, it's a decent number already since he has improved his stats compared to when he was still playing with the NYK.

As you said, the impact is very important to the team, and if the Mavs will think of trading him, they probably are not interested in his impact on the team. Last playoffs, they could have won against the Clippers but they allow the Clippers to come back, that's a shame because if they were able to advance, there's a huge chance that they will be in the NBA Finals and we would forget for a while that KP is not doing good since getting to the finals is a major improvement.
3557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 20, 2021, 08:37:05 PM
Just kidding guys, but I see him improve a lot. The training that he takes last year might give him more confidence, see him moving a lot and creating space for himself makes him a valuable asset for Northport. Just keep him and Bolick then surround them with more role players, they got now a competitive squad.

Slaughter's improvement started when he is traded by Ginebra. Maybe that situation turned him into a much better physically and mentally. It's obvious he doesn't want to be traded and reach Alfrancis Chua for him to give a chance. After giving him a chance, he was traded. Slaughter even thinks of it as a rumors only but turned into reality.

When they faced off with Ginebra this conference, he was pumped up like he's still in his prime. His team has a chance to compete in the championship now that 2 SMC teams have a problem right now, Ginebra - inconsistent and SMB - injuries.

I guess I will not miss the opportunity to put my bet on this team every time, as they are here to compete and they can beat any team. They are in a good position now to compete as their ranking though not so impressive but compared to the previous bubble, they have some huge improvement already, and Bollick is healthy, so it's another big thing.
3558  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price last until the end of the year? on: September 20, 2021, 03:13:20 PM
your asking as if the price will run dry but no it wont happen to bitcoin because it was the most used coin here in crypto although the obvious answer to your question is unkown . since btc is volatile ,
theres no guaranteed that 50k will remain staple till the year ends and infact we are already under the 50k mark again but my instincs says that it will not stay there any longer and we will return once again to 50k weeks or months after .

Panic will again start once bitcoin hits $30k+ again. Remember that the lowest price of bitcoin this year is $29k, that's after it hit the ATH which is $64k. Imagine, if you have no idea about the nature of crypto, you would easily panic seeing a big dump, ad it seems happening again, so are we still gonna panic even if we witness many times already that bitcoin will always bounce back?
Panicking is not usual to see especially when you are not believing Bitcoin's potentials but if you trust Bitcoin as a long-term investment, it is sure that you don't mind but instead of taking this opportunity to buy more. Hitting back at $30k again wasn't possible, maybe we think that Bitcoin will reach for new ATH but can't just ignore any chances of its huge fullbacks.

But as we can see that the market had never been in huge declines, some corrections occur however, we mostly seeing an uptrend motion. We couldn't sure that the current momentum will stay till the end of this year but never I think also that it drops back to $30k.
3559  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Dogecoin survive without Elon Musk? on: September 20, 2021, 02:28:41 PM
We have to go back and analyze why Dogecoin gets a huge pump, it pumps because of Elon it was nowhere in the top 20 when Elon Musk came and started to tweet Dogecoin because of that it landed in the top 10 and reach its present all-time high of $0.731578 four months.

But now that Elon is not shilling Dogecoin anymore it went down to $0.224874 so we can tell without Elon Musk it will eventually go back to its old place.
Slowly it looks like the dogecoin market will weaken and its value will also decrease. As we can see, without Elon the decline may occur gradually following the market trend. because there is no longer support from a strong community that makes big adoption.
it is definitely we can't see such massive growth of Dogecoin without Elon Musk's shilling but instead to see this coin almost shit/nothing as we know since before. But for now, I'm imagining the draining price of Dogecoin from day to day until it turns back from where it started. I'm not sure if there is someone who could be able to save from a huge decline and I'm not sure if Elon Musks will do the hypes again or if he could still be able to influence the market just like he did before.

Well, I think everyone is might thinking bad for Doge but we can't still be sure about its future. Let's see how it performed in the coming days.
3560  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Single pair trading or double pair? on: September 19, 2021, 03:45:30 PM
So I started my trading journey some time ago with a single pair but am considering expanding trading capacity and capital so am wondering, should I continue trading on a single pair but with large capital, or I should trade on double pairs.

Do I need your sincere advice?
it would be best to use two different coins or trading pairs provided that you can manage them all. But if you find it hard, never think to pursue it as that might be the reason you lose all your money. That is why some just stick to using single pair as they could be easy for them to handle.

Moreover, people can do some experiments, you can do as well. It is all about making trials just to know if you can really afford to do multiple tasks at a time and to know as well if it helps to improve your profit. Anyways, we will know it once you've been done but for now, it was all just a presumptions of what will happen.
