Definitely, we need cash right now more than ever, we can't really rely on full crypto or at least just bitcoin in our wallet.

And in the scenario that the OP has said, yes that's one case, when suddenly the price goes down hard, lets say $10k-$12k, so that is a good buying opportunity, but if you don't have the cash right now then, obviously you can't take that advantage.

As for when to sell, yes it should be in bull run, or if you are lucky, you can time the market and make huge profit when you sell it in an all time high like in November 2021.

Just as expected, Kambosos is not gonna make some difference in their rematch but he manage to improve, started strong and aggressive. Unfortunately, that didn't last and Haney overwhelmed him with clean shots where Kambosos expected it the least. Haney was just to quick to react and counter every movement of Kambosos.

Yup! George Kambosos Jr. really improve but Devin Haney also did, and that improvement really is shown in their fight right now Haney has a lot of clean punches than Kamboses, in my opinion, George Kambosos Jr. really upped his speed but his reaction time of Haney was just impressive even I can not see it either if there will be a 3rd fight which for me is Kambosos really need to stop and focus on guys that are not Haney, and get that money fights before her retired or get into lower or another division, where he can get a title match, for me Kambosos is really far away from Devin Haney,

George Kambosos only improved in the first round but once Devin Haney showed his excellent defense and sharp jabs, the Australian lost his confidence, became scared to throw volume punches and was clueless in the rest of the fight. His dad was frustrated but George cannot do anything, his heart was gone and the IQ and skills of Devin was on display.

At least the first 2 rounds for me, George was very sharp and has good moments against Haney. However, Devin Haney is known for his great IQ and so we see him and his corner making some adjustments because they see what George is trying to do. So Haney let good of his jab and again uses his advantage of having the longer reach and after that it was what we call a clinic, he put in display of jabs, specially his right hands, that is Haney's best weapon.

If I were George, I will take an easy fight and retire. He earned millions each of his last three fights versus Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney twice. His life is secured.

He is still very young, he can still fight in this division to the next and make more money. But we don't know if he can still be a champion because there are a lot of great champions in 135-140 lbs.

I voted for: "Leave the possibility of being asked for KYC when requesting withdrawals or after big wins."

I understand that crypto based casinos are also being mandated by regulators or at least they are following the rules that KYC should be enforce. However, I would like to see casino just asking for it when you reach some threshold on withdrawal. Same on the 2 bitcoin limit on some exchanges that still exist. If it less than let say 1 bitcoin, then there should be no KYC to ask for it's players. But if it reaches 2 bitcoin withdrawal then users should have to undergo KYC. But in return the casino should get them answers in a day or 2 or at least 3 days max to see if they pass it or not.
3584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: October 19, 2022, 09:10:42 PM
I'm already assuming that after this Ramirez fight he will push his chance facing Beterviev who knows he might also upset another champ and add more in his belt.

I think there will be no mandatory fight for Bivol if he wins this fight against Ramirez. The unification fight involving him will surely follow next.

Either it is Artur Beterviev as his next opponent if won against Anthony Yarde next year or someone else.

I hope Beterview is now fully healed for his match next year as that was the reason why this month's face-off with Yarde was postponed.

A unification fight will definitely happen if Bivol successfully defends his title again, I mean what else is next, right? This might be twice as hard from his fight against Canelo but if he can win this, his name will be hyped so much that people will call for an undisputed fight next. And just like what you've said, I hope so too that Artur Beterbiev will be healthy again because watching a fight where the other side have some problems is not that interesting to see.

If Canelo is not exercising his rematch clause or is not interested in another Mexican in Ramirez, I really hope the winner of this fight faces Beterbiev or Yarde for the undisputed belts. Bob Arum already mentioned that the fight needs to happen under his promotion with ESPN televising it. Top Rank may sound selfish but unless we hear about Eddie Hearn's counter offer then Bob has a point, especially since Beterbiev is considered the lineal champ in this division aside from his 3 belts compared to Bivol's 1 belt. It would be interesting to hear Matchroom's take on this one. Both Beterbiev and Bivol clearly wanted to fight each other already, hopefully, their promoters and networks agree to a deal. 

Top Rank has the upper hand in this discussion, Arum has Beterviev and has the majority of the belt in the Light heavyweight and I think it will be an easy set up between Arum and Bivol's camp.

For Canelo, if he doesn't want to take another Mexican (assuming that Ramirez win), then he will not have a money fight. It will be his last fight under Eddie Hearn so for sure he might looking for something big and then make his decision whether to extend his contract again or choose other banner to promote him.

I’m glad Chuck is defending Westbrook, who is having a great game. The Lakers just don’t play well together. They look a little better with Nunn and Beverly but they’re missing something. It just seems like they don’t really want to win.
So you heard that too during the halftime, but it seems his co-workers are not in agreement with him. I don't know.
There may be truth with what Chuck said about Westbrook not enjoying the game anymore because of the Lakers team.
That's not how he played during his OKC, Rockets, and Wizards career. The energy is gone and he keeps on making mistakes with simple plays.
One of them showed and it was actually a silly technical foul when he tapped Wiggins while making an inbound. Reggie Miller and Harlan even laughed at what he did after watching the replay.

Yeah, maybe Westbrook is not taking the game seriously and is very lethargic or it's that he is really not on his prime. We've seen this performance as well last year and we thought that this is just pre season game and we should give them the benefit of the doubt. However, as it turns out, that first sign that something is not right with the Lakers trickle over the regular season game and them missing the playoff and having one of their worst season since Lebron join LA.
3586  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Leaving your coins on exchanges on: October 19, 2022, 11:10:57 AM
~~

What effective way you use to protect your coin as a trader?

Most of us know that it is not safe to store assets on a centralized exchange but for a day trader I think there is hardly any other option. I think we should identify the risks that we will face when using centralized exchanges. Currently, I still hold some of my assets on binance, I find it very inconvenient when at the end of the day after work, I have to withdraw all my assets to a non-custodial wallet and then have to transfer to the exchange when do I start trading again. Doing so will make us unable to focus on trading and will miss a lot of profit opportunities.

Perhaps if you are a big trader, then it might be good to just take it out and put it into a wallet that you can control over. And then deposit it back again if you feel you are going to trade that day. It's better safe than sorry. And we have heard horrible stories years ago when the exchanges suddenly run off with traders money.

But for average trader like me, I just left like $100, I know it is still money, nevertheless I guess I can afford to lose that one. And maybe if we trade on exchange that is in the top list, although they can still be hack, at least it's safe as compare to lower tier exchange or fly by night, in my opinion.

Just a thought guys what you think kasi most ng mga wallet right now is gumagamit ng mga card na din tulad ng gcash at paymaya what if gumamit nadin si coins.ph ng kanilang card para at the same time is sumasabay sila sa trend ng cryptocurrency at actually nauna na nga sila sa gcash pero ngayon mas mabilis ang innovation ng paymaya kesa sa kanila just what if lang or possible kaya ito mangyari?.

I'm not really sure, sa higpit nila ngayon, no offense to team at nauna sila sa game, however, I felt na baka marami ng ring lumalayo or at least maintaining na lang ng account nila sa coins.ph at hindi na katulad na heavy ang usage. At lumipat na sa iba dahil sa maraming options na katulad ng Gcash at Maya.

So kung magkaka card sila eh malamang hindi ito pumatok na, sa opinion ko lang.
3588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: October 19, 2022, 10:29:09 AM
Only time can tell, as I have said, for this year the fight is not going to happen. And maybe the negotiations is already dead at this point.

But I think this fight can still be salvage and be made for next year, for sure the money is going to be to big that both camp can't refuse it, and maybe they are just looking for the perfect time to have this fight. We compare this to Floyd vs Manny, lots of stumbling block but in the end it got to be made.

This is dead for sure this year. Only roughly just a month remaining now for the supposed November 19 fight.

But I'm not giving up on this fight to happen next year.
Maybe it is a mistake that Crawford is a free agent. He thought that without Bob Arum and ESPN this fight is going to happen easily. He thought that without a promoter and a network to lean on he can be treated well and receives a fair deal. The way I imagined, Spence and his side are the ones dictating. Well, of course, because PBC will promote it and Showtime is the one that will televise it. And all of them worked with Spence.

Hehehe, we are thinking that Bob Arum and his network doesn't want to take on Spence. So what Crawford did is to severe his ties with both Arum and ESPN and then declare himself as free-agent to make the fight easy with Spence. However, not the case here, they put Crawford on a bad position and now Spence is in a lose-lose situation. Although they have options on who to fight next as they have the belts, but this is what the fans is demanding for at least next year.

“She doesn’t deserve a rematch. For me, I want Choi next,” Baumgardner clarified during the post-fight press conference. “This is what I planned on. This is what we talked about and this is what I plan to do.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/baumgardner-i-want-choi-next-what-i-planned-on-what-i-plan--169816

So there is a unification fight in the horizon here, but we will see if Choi is willing to be the next dance partner.
3590  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My exorbitant lessons in last bull market on: October 18, 2022, 11:11:28 PM
What is your exorbitant lesson investing in crypto last bull market (2021-2022)? I will like to share mine...

1. I watch YouTube videos of people gambling on meme coins with just 100$ and making thousands of dollars, I did the same and I ended up with tokens that I can't sell on an exchange, buying works but not selling.

Right, those Youtube influencers could be part of the project itself and obviously shilling and showing some proof that you can make thousands of dollars. Nevertheless, it's a game that not everyone could win, specially if you don't know anything about it.

2. Friends told me that Vitalik have promised Proof of Stake on Ethereum for years and it never came to past, I believe them and invested in Eth mining equipment, I am now selling to gamers since they are not profitable, not even a bit.

At least you can still make money out of your old ETH mining equipment. And used this money to re-invest on just solid coins only.

3. 100k per BTC nearly brainwashed me, I escaped this though but I really believed it, if I had some funds at the time I might have invested on BTC at ATH, thinking its going to 100k.

Everyone was lead to believed that $100k is going to be our minimum all time high last bull run. However, these predictions are just wild guesses so take everything with a grain of salt. And there is no expect in the crypto price prediction, just remember that.

There is hype is this fight, it's that there are so many professional fights that is worth talking and we all know that this is just a exhibition fight to begin with.

But with Manny entering the world of entertainment and exhibition fight, for sure this is just a test on his part. Yes, he is present in Floyd's fight in Japan and Floyd even travel to the Philippines. So I expect that this is just the beginning for Manny and there will be another one in the future, maybe in Japan or Saudi Arabia wherein Manny has a lot of fans as well.

Looking forward to seeing the NBA season kick things off tonight on TNT. With Ernie and the guys signing long extensions that certainly made them crazy rich,

It's the chemistry of these 4 that really separate them from the rest of the basketball analyst (whether player or not). So it's good to see him back for another run.

I’m sure the aura will be extremely positive. Really looking forward to seeing the Warriors and Lakers, but I suspect that Golden State will be leaving with the W. Philly and Boston will probably be less fun to watch but likely a more exciting game. I’m just glad to be watching NBA basketball again!

Yes, just good to see NBA basketball again, we might have to see for the regular season, but at least we have a taste or preview of what the current team is going to offer and who has the potential to win the trophy for his season.
3593  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: October 18, 2022, 10:06:58 PM
Hehehe, depende narin kay Green yan, kung hindi sya mabigyan ng max contract na hinihingi nya eh malamang umalis sya. Pero kailangan timbangin nya rin kung maibibigay o ma offer ng Warriors muna. Malay mo kung legacy sya, at willing syang i sacrifice ang salary nya para makapag champion ulit ang Warriors.

So tingin natin, matagal pa naman may isang season pa syang i proved kung karapat dapat sya sa new contract extension o i trade na lang sya kasi hindi nya gusto at maraming malaking offer sa kanya sa labas.

Pagkatapos ng season na ito, mayroon pa si Green na player option sa kanyang contract sa 2023-2024 season. Sa palagay ko, magandang pakiramdaman muna ni green ang market nia sa season na ito bago siya umalis ng GSW. Kung maganda ang feedback ng market sa kanya at sa tingin nia makakakuha siya ng magandang contract sa labas ng GSW, pwede na niang i-wave ang player option niya at mag free agent na. Ngunit kung mahina ang market nia, mas mabuti pang ipractice nia yung player option niya. At least may 1 year pa siya para patunayan sa ibang team na kaya pa rin niya maging effective sa pwesto niya.

Yun nga, kaya hawak pa naman nya ang career nya, pero sa pag sign ng Warriors sa dalawa, kay Poole at kay Wiggins, baka naiisip na ni Green ngayon na malamang hindi sya bigyan ng max contract na katulad ng hinihiling nya. At ito ngang incidente na to sa pagitan nila ni Poole, baka maging factor din to sa desisyon ng Warriors management. So malalaman natin sa laro nya this season, at kung magiging healthy pa sya, kung hindi ako ngkakamali eh mga 60 games lang yata nilaro nya nitong last season dahil sa injury rin. So lahat nasa kamay nya, galingan nya ngayon at tumulong ulit syang mag champion ang Warriors.
3594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Estrada vs Chocolatito - Trilogy - Dec 3, 2022 on: October 17, 2022, 11:53:45 PM
i'm rooting for Chocolatito to win, I think he is more technical so he will likely win this fight. it's a trilogy that but I'm not so excited on this one as it's not the same as the other trilogy where the fight was really close. Well, I might be wrong, but I see this fight to end up a one sided fight only, that's in favor to Chocolatito.

The majority of us here picked Chocolatito, but it could be a new fight if one of them shows something new here, the first two-fight was dominated by Chocolatito many thought he wins the match, this is what happen the fight was left in the hands of the judges, I have seen so many controversial fights and this one is included, I hope this time they picked the right judges and the winner deserves his win, there could be no fourth fight between the two, they just need to pick the right set of judges
Yeah, there will be no 4th fight if Chocolatito will win this fight, it's better if he could just KO Estrada so judges decision is not anymore necessary. Estrada is a very aggressive fighter, with a great timing, I think Chocolatito could finish him. Lots of good fights this coming December, hopefully I'm wrong with my prediction so somehow could I could enjoy this fight.

But it will be a big task for Chocolatito to knock out Estrada because the latter has a good chin. But if Chocolatito will win here, if might be in the judges score card and then another close fight. Unless Gonzalez show his age in this fight then this could be a dominant win by Estrada.

Still far but hopefully the judges will be fair. This is a high stake fight and for sure the judges that are going to be assigned here should not be biased.

Don't worry about getting your predictions mate, just enjoy the fight because for sure as others put it, this is going to be war.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8qBBb0Jn_c

So what do you guys think? Is this kind of performance against former champion in Herring will upset Loma? Or the kid has a lot to learn still as he have said in the post fight interview. Things that he needs to improved. Nevertheless, it's priceless experience just to share the ring with Loma and it can bring something to Ortiz who is still very young at 26 years old.
3596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 17, 2022, 11:14:43 PM

I guess if we look at NBA's history in recent years, team owners would rather invest on young players. Just like in the case of Poole and Wiggins, they see the this 2 might be their future superstar and that it could bring them more championship, so it's a no brainer to offer them good contracts.

We can't read Green's mind but for sure, he either appreciate and very happy for the 2 or he just wish that the Warriors are going to offer him a good contract as well, so will see.

NBA has quite learned a lot in the past years when they saw those star players when getting old does not really play like how they were in their mid-20s and its a waste of money if they gonna extend them furthermore with hundreds of millions when they cannot really play the same or bring the team to the Finals. Some players are only good in the early years of their careers and only a few like LBJ can maintain their productivity on the court the rest are just backup players when they get old like Green and they only need fewer payments when they're not in their prime anymore.

Those are good elite players, Jordan, Kobe and Lebron to name a few. However, in Draymond Green's career, I wouldn't call him elite, yes he is a good defensive player and a team leader. But as you age, and in his case, his skills are going down very fast and if I'm not mistaken, his numbers is the worst in his career if not one of the worst last season. So it's very important for the Warriors to really think about him whether to let him go or offer him but not a contract that he wants.

Draymond was just an ordinary NBA Player if he didn't won a championship. Because he played with the best team in the NBA that's why he became popular, and in fairness to him although he does not have an exceptional talent, but the team really struggle if Draymond Green is not around, especially in big games.

It's probably they miss Green leadership or his contribution like their best defensive man and then setting up their two scorer, in Steph and Klay and now they have 3 in Poole.

But as I have said, his game is going down and I would agree with Poole, as per report this is what he said that's why Green was so mad at him, is that Draymond is a single triple. So that says a lot about the numbers he put in last season. And if that numbers goes down again this season, then maybe the Warriors will not sign him up for a good contract.

3598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: October 17, 2022, 10:46:28 PM
Haney was smart because he made the right adjustment, but when Haney adjusted, Kambosos should also counter it, but it didn't happen, he stick with his strategy despite the fact that Haney had already read it, Kambosos was lucky that Haney is not a KO artist, if he was, that fight would certainly end in KO.

I think the outcome would be different if Haney is a knock-out artist as he will be the aggressor and prone to Kambosos' counters just like what happened to Teofimo Lopez. Haney's style has brought him this far and the only downside of his style is how to draw a large crowd to watch his fights because, to be honest most of the fans are not excited to watch his fights.

And that is the ironic part of it, Haney is now the man, accomplished so much already and yet he didn't get the respect and recognition he deserved because of his style because as you have said, and I agree with it, that Haney's style if very boring or at least he doesn't have the persona that you hate him that's why you will go and watch his fight because you want to witness him getting knock out. On the other hand, the brandish style of King Ryan and Tank Davis is what the fans wanted to see. That's why even though they don't have any regular belt, their fight will made a lot of money and hype as compare to Haney defending all the belts against Kambosos the 2nd time around.
3599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casinos vs money laundering. on: October 17, 2022, 10:31:05 PM
It is not possible to investigate money laundering for a casino company. Moreover, if the casino companies start that investigation, they will have to face big loses in the casino business. That no one wants to do it. It would seem logical if the investigation was given to the Ministry of Finance or any other related organization. Otherwise it is never possible to reduce money laundering.

If it's impossible for them, they why they have the KYC?

I don't think it's impossible for them, but what i think is there aren't interested at all, because if start a money laundering investigation means to lose some high rollers, then it isn't business at all for the house. That's why the best option for them is to keep those users and don't blame them for their illicit actions.

KYC requirement is a mandate coming from the regulators, so if a casino is licensed, they have to implement that KYC as a basic requirement. When it comes to investigation, usually it's the authorities that will do a more thorough investigation and the role of the casino is just to provide the information to the authorities, or the anti-money laundering agency to be specific.

And as far as I know, online casino's have their own fraud and investigation department that oversee everything, specially suspicious activities in their platform. So if they suspect something is not right, they may have to ask the mandated KYC and then start the investigation. And if they need the authorities or at least it has been flag down as a launderer, then they will have to work hand and hand with them and the agency will have finally decided if the person is indeed a criminal. At least that's how I see the process, so KYC is a must now.
