3541  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can not crash on: May 22, 2021, 10:13:34 AM
I believe those with powers to crash cryptocurrency can do it. The Chinese government announced a clamp down on crypto investment in the country and if every other government do the same, nothing will stop the crash of Bitcoin. And on selling your properties to invest in Cryptocurrency, you have already goofed in the first caution of crypto investment. You should only invest what you can afford to lose to always avoid the story that touch.
A sort of manipulation will certainly be going to happen and Elon Musk did this. But I never think that the future of Bitcoin lies in their hands as I still believing that despite this dump, it will recover then. In fact, we are up now after a huge crash down to $32k, we are moving back at $40k. So we can say that these rich people can't really take everything we had in the market. Only they can afford to do is to dump but not in a way they can control the entire market.

So, there is nothing to worried about, even this Chinese Government can't do that.
3542  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which best Altcoins to buy & HODL for some months on: May 22, 2021, 09:54:53 AM
I mostly prefer top altcoins which seem more credible to me. I don't like to take much higher risks by investing into new and not-promising projects in the market. My choices now are ETH and BNB.

Top altcoins are indeed more reliable, but the profit from holding such coins will be lower than from investing in new altcoins. For this reason, I use part of my money to buy such coins, the price of which is now very much reduced. In general, you can now buy almost any altcoins, because if the bull market continues, they will increase in price.
I saw also that many of the new projects are more in hype than the old coins but the problem is to find which project as we can't also deny that many of them are scams and fake. Of course, if that only we know and if we believe that particular project is obviously growing, we have to take it, though. Anyway, we just talking about short-term holding, so why not? Maybe we got lucky, who knows right?

Top altcoins are the best choice when talking about a long-term investment as they are proven and tested.


3543  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it good time to invest in bitcoin? on: May 21, 2021, 11:13:30 PM
Hi, I am new to crypto? I was just following the crypto market for last few days. is this a good time to invest in bitcoin? if yes then short term or long term.

Thanks in advance.
At this time while the price considered as still high, short-term is ideal but for sure it changes depending on the market flow and also what is your plan.
Besides, we believe that Bitcoin will even grow more in the coming years that is why some will take the risk of holding.

But for me, I prefer a short deal, buying and selling are still the strategies I used which in this way I took every opportunity to make a profit.
Anyway, not all have the same opinion, so I suggest you should think about the best way. And must be sure that what will happen to you have nothing to regrets.

Because he understands that players are looking for better opportunities, and he understands how SMB and Pangilinan control the PBA.  He is a very vocal coach and I think he likes Jericho a lot and believes in him so he gives him an opportunity to showcase his talent abroad. With that being said, he also understands what his team can do only and it's not as good as the SMB teams.
Yes, that's why many admire Coach Yeng Guiao for the way he handles things and his players. But later on once Jericho is done with playing for Guam, he's good and can easily come back to the team. That's why in the position of Jericho, Yeng understands that the guy has multiple opportunities and he doesn't want to be the obstacle for the guy to take as many opportunities as he can. Not just a coach to coach a team but also like a father to most of the players that he's coaching.
Jericho Cruz deserves to be given more opportunity to play and to be in a better team, it's just so pity that he played with a struggling NLEX team, this team hs not been in the Finals or even semi Finals when coach Yeng assume it, it's very different during coach Yeng time with ROS or prior to that where he has more success.

If given  good opportunities and let him play with well dominating team inside this league, he have lots of skills to showcase, sad thing that NLEX is not that type of team right now.

We've seen their performance from the last bubble, they don't have the right pieces for their campaign, more on offensive guards but lack with big men who can play inside and compete with those big man around the league.

Let see if what coach Yeng have this season, like what you have said it's no longer the same level from what he have before.

He had his team with the TNT, and I really liked his position with the team but sadly he was traded If I'm not mistaken. His first team which is the Rain or  Shine, that's where he really shines, I guess his problem was him being easily injured that's why the team traded him, that was the first time he was traded.

It was a long ago, I can't remember all the teams he played but one thing I will never forget is that this guy knows how to ball.



All the information can be found here.

source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_Cruz

Career history
2014–2018   Rain or Shine Elasto Painters
2018–2019   TNT KaTropa
2019–present   NLEX Road Warriors


Career highlights and awards
PBA champion (2016 Commissioner's)
3× PBA All-Star (2016–2018)
PBA Most Improved Player (2016)
PBA All-Rookie Team (2015)
PBA Mr. Quality Minutes (2016)


With that achievement, you can tell how successful already Jericho is as a PBA player.

Don't bet with emotions on this one guys because it's a tricky one!

Personally , I won't bet this game but I will watch it and I must say that I expect a win from GSW just because Curry is a clutch player and I think he will come and play big tonight scoring more than 30 points but in the end the advantage will be make on who has the better defense tonight.

Nice advice, I would not do that either, both teams are desperate to win since this is the last game between them this season. I love Curry of course, but the 37 points was not enough against the Lakers, so I hope somebody will step up to help him, not only the familiar faces.
3546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This isn't the first time the dip has happened on: May 20, 2021, 11:07:11 PM
These declines were not the first and will not be the last. Of course, an investor who has spent time in this market knows these. The real investor is the person who stays in this market during the bear season and the bull season and seizes the opportunities. As people who believe in bitcoin, I am not worried about the dips in this market and I evaluate them. Denigrating bitoin in the fall is just manipulation and ignorance.
Indeed, it was a common scenario that we have to experience but I just wonder why many people still understand this but they keep blaming others as the reason for the dip. Many of them are probably selling their holdings now, they are quite panicking at this time when seeing a huge market decline. But above all these things this gives an opportunity for the whales and some investors to take advantage of the market while many were dumping their cryptos.

Many are waiting for this moment to time and we have noticed that the price easily recovers as this because the buying demand goes high right after the dip. I think that many had taken the opportunity helping the situation to get back in a shorter time than what we expected.
3547  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge is to hold should not be trading on: May 20, 2021, 10:37:56 PM
You may find it wrong OP...and I know everyone knows that this is just a meme coin and you will think about holding? You are just bringing yourself to losses. May trading will work but we have to be careful as a hyped coin is very risky, you might fall into the trap that Elon Musk has created.

And if you are planning for a long-term investment, you should not include this on your bucket list. Find another that you will be confident that it grows in the future, not that it gives you losses as we can see that this project skyrocketed just because of Elon, if he is done, what do you think will happen?
3548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: May 20, 2021, 11:43:26 AM
Well there is still a chance that the fight might happen in the future, as Crawford contract with Arum's Top Rank is reported to be end by October,

Quote
Crawford’s contract with Top Rank Boxing will reportedly end in October 2021. Many have speculated that he will sign on with PBC in an attempt to secure fights with Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr. Time will tell if that’s the direction he will go in.

https://www.fightsports.tv/terence-crawfords-sister-goes-off-on-bob-arum/

So if Crawford sit it out the rest of 2021, and wait for his contract to end, so he can go directly to Manny or move to PBC to negotiate the fight.

The only chance for this fight to happen if Crawford will not anymore renew his contract, hopefully, it will happen, maybe next year we will see this fight as one fight for Manny this year is already enough and that is against Garcia.

Thank you @Jating , nice share, it's good news indeed.

Does Jericho Cruz have a fan here guys? He's got a go signal from Yeng Guiao that he's okay to fly to Guam and play for the national team for the Fiba Asia Qualifiers. Although we know that the national team of Guam isn't that strong but at least they're sourcing a player from our country to play for their national team which is really a thing to be proud of.
(https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/jericho-cruz-could-miss-pba-games-for-nlex-due-to-guam-commitment-a795-20210517)

I'm a big fan of this guy, so you are saying that he is an import of the team? I think he is a full-blooded Filipino so he would not be there to represent the county, maybe they plan to make him a naturalized player?
3550  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading futures without knowledge of chart patterns, is gambling not trading on: May 19, 2021, 11:16:31 PM
Having knowledge in the chart patterns reading doesn't make anyone that trading in futures not to be gambling because futures trading is the riskiest form of trading in crypto so making successful trade in future don't total have to with chart knowledge but luck though having chary knowledge increase the chance of making success.
Knowing how to read the market chart, having basic knowledge of the candlestick reading, that simply gives us an advantage but knowingly that the market is unpredictable, it sometimes we rely on our trades into having a LUCK.

But if we wanted to increase our chances of being profitable, it is a need for us to have these trading tools. It is much better to have such a high level of market understanding rather than to be NO-HOW as we can't just leave our trading journey like we are gambling. As the more we keep rooting what is Trading, the more we appreciate it and surely it turns you back.
3551  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price goes down below 40K and how much it may go down? on: May 19, 2021, 11:00:44 PM
The market had to face another market struggle after almost 1 year in a bullish season. But if we compared it to the last bear season, we can see that we are still far from that time considering that the price still at $39,000 (at this moment). Even the market drop at $20,000, was not the worse drops that ever happen.

I think the only thing that we can do right now is to watch it go down and see how things will go, it is difficult to predict how deep will the dump go down because bitcoin is known to prove predictions wrong plus this is a different market movement from 2018 so we just hope that when it goes down, it will go back up higher than its ATH.
The market will sometimes turn like this (dumping) and if we keep looking and checking the market price the more it increases to build a panicking emotion. It is to know that the market dump is inevitable but I think that everyone is already aware of this.

The games yesterday are not close, what about the games tomorrow. I'm so excited with the Lakers vs Warriors games, do you think the Warriors can upset the Lakers here? I like to hear your thoughts on this, Warriors playing great basketball going to this play-in, do they have a good chance tomorrow?
It's slim. If Steph could heat up early in the game then a chance may open.
Put a big deficit on the scoreboard and just maintain it. Rest Curry, Green, and Wiggins while the 2nd team will try to stop every possession and waste time.
Because that's their problem against the Lakers team. Back up.
Curry is the kind of player who gets exhausted easily with the set-up play made for him. He keeps on running without the ball, screen, and it's like everything rotates on him.
The Lakers' only key to winning the game is to stop that.
Thanks for your opinion mate, I'm just impressed with Curry's game in the last few games, so I'm thinking maybe they have a chance to win against the Lakers. I believe GSW beat the Lakers once in the regular season, so that means they can really beat the Lakers.

However, I respect your opinion, Lakers are just smart, they have a lot of weapons, especially the inside while the Warriors are relying so much on Curry.

Slightly tells me that I know bitcoin from this forum around June 2017,
But I haven't kept up with the crypto world for a long time due to my busy business and boredom with the price of BTC in 2019.
So I almost forgot all my assets until there was one. the thing I think is my stupidity, I omitted my Trezor which still contained around 9 ETH at the time I bought ETH around $ 700 in mid 2018, and ETH keeps dropping so I ignore it.
Long story short I want to start from scratch I want to ask the seniors who are here.
I want to start trading again. Could you please give me some advice so that I don't go through things like a few years ago.
Felt so sad in your situation, you lose your 9ETH for such stupidity? Naturally, it often happens when you never think that particular thing gives you anything in the future and you never care if you lose that as it was just nothing for you before. Many cases happen like this, in fact, some people lose their wallet keys. Because the reality is that we can just appreciate a thing if it has value and we can see its importance if we can benefit from it, and that is why you are remembering it now.

Well, I think you felt mad about the situation but consider this mistake as sort of your encouragement to invest again in crypto. And I hope this time you can appreciate all the things you acquired even it has no value as this time because you'll never know, crypto has the potential as long as it still exists in the market. 
3555  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much can you predict this sh*t?! Or is it pure gamble? on: May 18, 2021, 10:42:40 PM
From 50/50 (it could swing either way and you can have zero knowledge on which way it'll swing), to %1-100 being able to know before hand, how much can you know?

What causes prices to go up? What causes them to go down? Obviously, no one knows for certain when it would happened, but has there been a consistent "pattern" lately? When prices have gone down, have you known to a reasonable degree than they would bounce back up? How?
The market is very volatile and unpredictable, no matter the amount of indicators you make use of they can't still tell the future, they can only help you know whee the market is heading, no technical analysis is 100% correct, that's why you see even prefessional traders have losing trades, prices go up when there are goodnews and vice versa for price going down, that's why you need both technical analysis and fundamental to predict market movements.

Well, TA and Fundamental analysis are a part of trading. Though it was accepted that we can't predict the exact price of Bitcoin nor seeing its direction but it is a need for us to make market analysis and continue doing that, and why? Because it was necessary and that TA's places an important role in trading otherwise, you will be badly. And you can see a big difference when are trading knowing nothing compared to when you have some idea of what is going on in the market.
3556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos ordered by IBF on: May 18, 2021, 12:47:52 PM

Fight with LOMA doesn't that demonstrate his strength as Lomachenko had damaged shoulder  that time.  However, regarding speed and footwork,  Lopez is superior of  Kambosos and I would bet on him. As to judges, hope they will be not biased otherwise the win of any boxer  will not add him a score in eyes of fans.

We usually heard this kind of excuse when they lose, it's not new because Manny Pacquiao also had an excuse that he has an injury when he was fighting Mayweather, why can't they just accept and give credit to the winner. If Loma really is not 100%, then maybe he can ask for a rematch and I'm sure Lopez would give him that any day.

Jericho Cruz could miss PBA games for NLEX due to Guam commitment


Why is he part of the Guam National Team?
3558  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders Don't easily lend out money. on: May 17, 2021, 11:35:39 PM
If you happen to be an active trader or know people that trade actively, you will notice that traders do not easily give out money ( i.e lend out money) not because they don't have to give but because their capital is actively and most times always involved a trade.

You have to understand as a friend to traders that even in times when big wins are celebrated, it is not still a time to ask them to help you with money for your needs with the thought that they are in profit, because if you do you will get yourself disappointed nine times in ten chances.

Work for your own money, nobody owes you anything.
Well, it was the call of the trader if he wants or not, and I believe that he knows already what will be the consequences of that. Isn't wrong if we lend people especially our friend provide that it was just enough that he can pay us back in a specific time frame. And probably we know already the capability of the said person that is why we trusted him/her.

But if the said transactions happen online, that will difficult, and for me, hell not for that as it was really hard to trust people online, especially when asking for money.
3559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas June 19 on: May 15, 2021, 09:20:39 PM
There is still no given date when this fight will land but this is a sure fight not to be missed,

The thread starter has updated the title to June 19, and you may have missed his early post as well, a few post above.

@bisdak40 - you are right, Bob Arum will not simply put Inoue against Casimero, high risk that he might lose one of his cash cow in Top Rank. They are slowly building him up, just like what they did to Manny Pacquiao's career.

Oh sorry, I haven't noticed the title that the fight is going to be on June 19 well that's going smooth and I think that it's going to be a bloody fight in my opinion, even though Naoya didn't have enough record fight than Dasmarinas the fighters that he put down is really something to look for, and Kudos for Nonito Donaire for giving a Decision outcome and hanging on until the end,

I really wish to see the Inoue Naoya VS John Riel Casimero fight aswell but that has to wait and Naoya should not underestimate Dasmarinas because after watching the highlights of Dasmarinas he can sure put a fight against Naoya no doubt about it.

The Inoue vs Casimero is put to shelve for now.

And I agree that Inoue shouldn't underestiamate Dasmarinas, he is also a champion and defended the belt multiple times so he is no pushover here. I've also seen highlights of Dasmarinas, he is pretty solid with some defense. And se has some serious pop with that left so I don't think that this fight will go to the scorecard, we will see some serious knock out in this fight.

Every opponent of Inoue will be underestimated especially that they are not champions, the guy is really good and on the list of pound-for-pound fighters in the world. It will be a big upset if Dasmarinas will win in this fight and I really like the support of the Filipinos here as they still believe that Dasmarinas would win against the monster.

The fight is nearing, I hope Dasmarinas is fully condition in this fight as this would be the toughest match of his life.

It's going to be a longgggg playoff run for the Lakers if they will play in the play-in tournament.

But that would be so interesting because we will be seeing a tough journey for the Lakers just to get in the playoffs, and if they will win a back-to-back championship, this would be a good recognition again for them again. I just really hope Lebron is 100% when he comes back as the Lakers really need him to activate his beast mode. I have no doubt they will win in the play-in tournament but I think it's not easy for them to win in the WCF now.
