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.
3603  Economy / Speculation / Re: If Russia goes full Bitcoin adoption on: March 07, 2022, 12:38:54 PM
They can but it will just a band-aid solution.

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.
3606  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't lock your tokens away on: March 05, 2022, 01:19:40 PM
I know we have determined newbies among us this days that have developed a strong holding (HODL) habit in themselves, I have an advice for you as a crypto holder and I hope you listen.

Do not hold your tokens for too long without looking back, I have lost some this way because later they move to main chain running on separate blockchain, imagine if you decide to check the progress of that project only in 2024 and you see that you've missed out on swapping your old tokens to the new coin..
Good advice that is why I'm just holding only the top coins.

I'm only holding the top coins because I don't want this to happen to me. I still remember a time where I got a token from bounty campaign and fortunately the token got a value. I decided to hold it for quite some time and forgot about it until I remember that token and I found out that they already changed their chain and I forgot about it and didn't exchanged it until now. Right now I don't know if the tokens still has value yet but I chose to forgot the tokens already luckily the value isn't that high (only 2 digit value I think).

For me, its easier to be updated if you will just focus on the top coins as you will see the updates immediately in the internet because of their popularity that is why I chose to HODL just the top coins. Lower risk, lower reward and you can see the updates easier as websites will post an article about it.

76ers are going on superbly this season. Since James Harden started to play too, they haven't lost a single game so far. And Harden has started to get accustomed to his new team very quickly. He has played in four games so far and his performance in each one of them was very impressive. And last night, they had a home game against Cavs. And it was such a delightful game that ended by 125-119. 76ers definitely deserved this win but Cavs' performance was also great. At 76ers, Tyrese Maxey was the most scorer by 33 pts. And at Cavs, Garland got a career-high assist statistics like 19 ast in one game. And Cedi Osman was really solid too by 20 pts.
The expectation towards this 76ers team is very high right now that they got Harden with the team and it seems like he really is a perfect fit for the team as we saw in their last 4 games in which they haven't lost a single game. He scored a double double 25 points and 11 assists.

It seems like the 76ers have already built a big 3 that will be developed for the next years. Harden, Embiid and now maybe we can add Maxey to the discussion since he is averaging 26.7 PPG since Harden started playing. The Sixers really made a good decision in just develop Maxey than keeping Simmons who really doesn't want to play with this team anymore.

NLEX are trying their best to convince KJ McDaniels to finish the conference. Even they are surely aware of what might happening to McDaniels, they want to take a shot if the import will change his mind. Unfortunately, looks like McDaniels is already 100% decided to end his NLEX tenure.
Well, it seems like he is already decided with his decision and I think there is no other way to end his stint this conference than giving the team a win plus a dunk from him. Looks like the import of NLEX isn't Terrico White like what has been posted online but its Cameron Clark. I hope that he can help the team especially in the playoffs.

For other news, after Blackwater Elites, the Terrafirma DYIP is now also officially out of the playoffs contention. I hope they will have a good run next conference for something new and their most improved gunners won't be traded to a top tier team.
Not only the 2 of them are eliminated as even Rain or Shine already eliminated from the playoff contention because NorthPort got a victory against Terrafirma where they put themselves to 5 wins against Rain or Shine that has only 3 wins with one game remaining.

The game between Meralco and SMB has been finished and SMB get away with a victory after a 24 point deficit at the halftime. Shabazz Muhammad is just a monster this night scoring 57 points and 19 rebounds. If you watched the last minutes of the game, you will see how Chris Ross is good at defending. He forced Bishop to turn over the ball twice which are very crucial and caused them the victory.

With the recent Russia/Ukraine invasion, the Ukrainians asked for help accepting bitcoin and other form of donations.
Having know, Scammers are taking chance of this moment to invade as well, it's best someone we all be guided and not fall as victims to this.
I'm a very emphatic guy and I feel bad for the Ukranians for what the Russians is doing to them.
On the other hand though, I believe that there are more capable people more than me who are willing to donate Bitcoins to them.

Well I've seen a twitter tweet regarding a user from Ukraine that is asking for funds that will help them but turns out that it is a scammer. Scammers really don't have a heart or at least empathy don't they? They know that a country is suffering already and yet they took it as an opportunity to scam other people who are willing to help. If you really want to help then at least double or triple check and ask some people if it really is the official donation address of Ukraine or it really came from Ukraine and not from scammers.

I think and I believe most of us here in the forum are intelligent people and we can distinguish which are scams and which are not Smiley.
3610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is now a good time to be investing in Bitcoin? on: March 04, 2022, 01:50:14 PM
Hi everyone I was wondering if the overall Russian-Ukraine situation in Bitcoin is now pretty low, will it soar if the whole war is resolved again? What is your opinion? Thank you.
It already happened but we don't know that it will happen because we don't have a crystal ball and we don't know what can happen in the future.
Days after the war started, Bitcoin and the whole market went up already though as of today Bitcoin is down at least 4% IIRC.

Now to answer the question, maybe this might be a good time to invest into it but if you are patient then maybe you can buy if Bitcoin is near or below $40,000. As long as Bitcoin is near $35,000, I think its still good to buy. Best thing to do still is to dollar cost average and just hold.
3611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbie Come to Crypto What they should do first? on: March 04, 2022, 01:39:54 PM
I don't know which others, when i come first I look at coinmarket cap and learning a detil the coin I want to buy.

My friend ask me, what coin he should buy , but I not really sure for now because I'm entering cryptocurrency 3 years ago. Too many coin right now that make me confusing
Nahhh don't see the number of coins in Coinmarketcap or Coingecko because that number will just continue to increase since new projects are being created daily.
If that huge number of coins keeps you confusing or you are getting overwhelmed, there is a solution for that and is to just focus on the top coins especially in Bitcoin.

Well, you consider yourself as a newbie and I don't recommend investing into a coin when you are starting but invest in knowledge like most of us are saying. Investing in knowledge really is the first step if you really want to invest especially in a very volatile market like crypto. After that, hmmmmm maybe invest in your emotions and I mean be emotionless when you are investing because being emotional when investing most of them times leads to huge losses. After doing and learning both of them then you're good to go because the rest will just be base on your experience and as time goes by, you will learn more and more.
3612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 04, 2022, 01:09:09 PM
Knicks are done.  Can see them losing 15 of the last 20 games.  They look like they have fight, then every game the seem to get outscored 15-20 points.  This team lacks balls.  They need to not draft talent with this draft but a kid who has fight in him, outside of a coue players they seem too soft.  Sad considering how they played last year...another year another disappointment.
Even the New York native Stephen A. Smith really disgusts the team already after praising them especially in last season where they entered the playoffs and even though they lost in the first round, he is still optimistic with the team all throughout until he made his epic rant online (I repeated that part many times and laughing at the same time).

The Knicks and the Lakers are fighting for the most disappointing team this season. The Knicks got as high as 16 point lead against the Sixers and they blew that out again and lost. Now the Lakers lost 7 straight games against the Clippers as they lost again by 21 points.

Don't worry, time will come that he will be traded, there's no reason for the Lakers to keep him when they are not winning, the management will surely make a decision to get rid of some of the superstars probably Lebron is one of them or maybe Davis will be traded too. This season is not over yet, they still have a chance but like what most of us see, I also see that their chance is very slim.
They want to trade Westbrook already during the last trade deadline last month but because of his high salary and his next year's salary, no team was willing to trade with them and they didn't made any moves at that moment. Well, they don't know that this will end up like this. They are hoping for Westbrook to help the Lakers get a ring alongside Lebron and AD but sh*t happened. The highest position that they can get maybe is in the play-in tournament and I don't think that they can ever get the 8th seed especially now that the Clippers are 5.5 games above them.

SMB vs Rain or shine game is over.

That was intense, the game looks a one-sided game in the beginning but Rain or Shine came back with their good run, unfortunately, they were not able to complete the run and still lose the game, but at least it's only a single digit loss and the 4th quarter was really a thrilling game.

Finally, Shabazz played well for the team and he helped the team to win. however, I am not yet convince that he is the best import so far despite of his good stats in this game, I feel like there's still better than him and I think that's probably Harris of Magnolia.

What do you think? agre or disagree?
Harris of Magnolia is doing great because he has a great team while Shabazz is still struggling with their teammates, so its hard to confirm for now but for me they both have a great skills, they just need a help from a local players so they can be more effective. This is a needed win for SMB, such an intense one with a lot of twist.

SMB and Magnolia are good teams, it only matters on the chemistry because Magnolia has not moved players a lot, unlike SMB which just recently traded their veterans to keep the young player and look at what happened? the result is not good.
This is why we should not too dependent with the imports and don’t expect too much from them especially if there’s a problem with the local players, Magnolia did a great job as a whole team and that’s why their imports shines like the best one. SMB should work with their chemistry as a team, their import is still capable of doing great things he just need a help from his team.

SMB used to be a great team, but letting go of Santos and Cabagnot was really a wrong decision. Northport now is playing very well and Santos is one of the biggest contributors to the team, so Santos is not really that old as he can still produce good numbers for the team. I'm pretty sure the SMB management are regretting their decision, instead of keeping the veterans and use their experience, they send them to other teams.
SMB prioritized younger players over anything that is why they traded their 2 old players Santos and Cabagnot and I don't see it as a wrong decision because it is what the management believe is the best decision for the team. Even though its hard for them to let go, they really need a roster change.

I don't see it as a wrong decision to me because even though the 2 of them are still there, they aren't as efficient as they was years ago and maybe they really need to let go of him for some personal reasons. On the other hand, NorthPort really is utilizing him so much. He is helping those young players with his experience and at the same time, he really is efficient and is helping the team. In the end, both teams benefited in their own ways. NorthPort got Santos who really is playing very efficient this season and SMB got some younger and talented players like Manuel, Enciso and now Cruz.

EOS is the largest fundraising project in the history of cryptocurrency, with a record raising of $4.2 billion. and it advertises itself as an Ethereum Killer.
April 2018 saw EOS hit an all-time high of $22.71 and the price is currently trading at $2. There haven't been any updates on the project for a long time and EOS is slowly being forgotten. This is the most successful exit scam project in the crypto industry.
I still remember the time where we are in a group chat where we always talk about EOS and because of that, it comes to the point where I taught of borrowing money just to buy EOS.
Good thing that the person who I want to borrow money with to buy EOS refuses to lend money to me because at that time, the price of EOS was at its peak (around $20). Because of that refusal, I didn't bought any EOS and it was a blessing in disguise for me. I just went in Coingecko to see the chart and it has only going downwards and no development at all. The once labeled ETH killer is now dormant with no updates.

Aside from EOS, I still remember some are talking about IOTA and its new technology "tangled" (correct me). Now the coin that is once at the top 10 is at the top 50 already (same with EOS). I can't remember some but we've seen some top coins from the past that is now at the bottom 50 or bottom 100 already for some reasons. Others are ICON, NEM and YFI.

^^ I think he also adjusted, he try to go back to his bread and butter, that is to go to the inside. But there are times that there are no bounce on his feet, so the young guys can follow and block his shot. And he often uses his left which is not his strong suit. I guess it boils down to that chemistry issue, and for me as much as we want him to stay as a Lakers, WB should go somewhere else.
It's just sad to see that there's so much hype on Westbrook when he joined the Lakers but his production is not what we are expecting. I don't know his future but I think he will be better if he will be in a team that no other superstar except him.
I agree with this because he excelled when he is the leading player of Thunder back when Durant isn't in the team anymore and when he is in the Wizards.
Now in his stint with the Lakers, it doesn't go the way many are expecting especially the Laker and Lebron fans out there. If only Westbrook isn't paid that much this season and next season, they really want to trade him but with his high value they can't find anybody that is willing to get him. Well, the Lakers tried to trade him for Wall at Houston but they demanded more players reason why the trade didn't happen. They traded too many players with potential like Kuzma, Harrell and KCP for him and this is what they will get to him. Cheesy

Voted for yes though we all know that all of our votes are just a speculation and in the end, we still don't know what will happen with Bitcoin Smiley.

After a downward movement of the market because of the war, we've seen Bitcoin went up double digits alongside other altcoins and it surpassed the $40,000 price. I'm expecting for Bitcoin to stay above $40,000 and will move sideways to the $40,000-$50,000 price range maybe or $45,000 for some few days to weeks possibly just to shake out the uncertainties.

Though there is still a chance for Bitcoin to go below $40,000 still if there are some bad news that will pop out because we already know that the movement of the market is being determined by the sentiments of the investors.

I also visited the website and it doesn't that attractive at least for me. There is nothing wrong if you will invest in the project but just put into your mind that you will still be ok if they ended up as a rugpull project.

Conclusion: Most coins/tokens don't survive and you likely won't know which will and which will not.



Do you agree? Have similar experiences? Would you like to share?
This is the reason why I'm focusing on investing mostly on the top coins and I'm putting most of my money in the top 10 coins.
I've been investing in crypto for quite some time already (though I'm not an expert) and I've seen numerous projects that are being abandoned or just lacking something like community etc. and it will continue until.... I don't know as long as there are new projects that are being created.

As for me, I've joined airdrops and bounty campaigns in the past. I sold some of the coins that I got from campaigns and airdrops and the others I kept for no reason. Held it for at least a year and most of them still doesn't have value though there are at least 1-2 tokens that got value until now but most of them doesn't have any value at all.
3619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 03, 2022, 10:10:01 AM
Lakers definitely deserves to sit this one out. I mean it is clear that they are not good enough to matter during playoffs. So why would they work themselves harder and play in the playing tournament and then maybe get lucky and be in the playoffs first round and play 4 more games just to get swept? Just take an early break, stay away from the playoff this year and figure things out during the summer. It is clear that they are not going anywhere meaningful with this team.

Westbrook is HORRIBLE, AD is gone all the time, and Lebron can't do anything all by himself anymore. I still think Lebron is good, he is not bad at all, he is great, but not good enough to carry a team of role players to finals anymore, it is not that lebron anymore.

I think LeBron is getting old, he used to be good enough to take a team to the playoffs on his own but he's not performing like he used to anymore. I think the biggest factor is aging. There must be someone in the team who can help him, but they currently do not have such a player. That's why the Lakers are struggling this year, and LeBron will appear on a different team next year, maybe with his son Smiley
Unfortunately, he doesn't get any help from his teammates. I mean there is a help obviously but not enough for them to get the W in every game.

I can still remember the time where its like Lebron Vs. opponent during the playoffs when he is in the Cavaliers until they got swept by the Warriors in the NBA Finals. Now he can't do it anymore because like you said he is aging already. Well just seeing his age and his performance this season and you will see that he is still playing quite impressive but not enough to carry the team. He really needs more help from other teammates. The problem with the team is the roster. He got old players like him instead of younger and talented players and the 2 superstars that supposedly help the team to win a ring? Its not happening.

There is a high chance that Lebron will leave the team and might go to a team where it has at least one superstar until Bronny isn't playing in the NBA.

Binance is refusing to lock account belonging to Russian customer's, what is your take on this? I believe that this might be a better move due to Russian Citizens that don't desire war still being able to move their Roubles to crypto for safe storage.
Russian people doesn't want war and we know that already because we've seen some Russian people protesting with what is happening.
Its only Putin that wants this war but not his countrymen so why block those people who wants to use crypto.

Correct me but it would be better because with Russia being banned to use swift to transfer money, they will find another way and that another way is crypto. Its a good move by Binance not blocking these people and what is happening will favor to them as they will get more profit from it.
