3601  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: another bullrun before 2021 ends on: June 27, 2021, 09:44:58 PM
I personally can't say for sure whether there's going to be another bull run before the year 2021 ends, though I believe it's possible, but am not going to bet anything on it, the only thing that can guarantee another bull run before this year ends is if more institutions and big companies come in to invest in bitcoin and crypto currencies again, or maybe big countries and governments decides to fully legalize crypto currency activities in their countries, this will cause many people to fomo in which might trigger another season of bull run.
In conclusion, what ever will bring about another bull run before this year ends must be a very big news that's capable of moving billions or maybe trillions of dollars into the crypto market again.

It will need too much of fresh money while blood is already on the streets. Btc had been struggling very hard to break above $35k but bears have taken control and it does not seem to be happening soon that btc will again go above that range. There are many institutions already in crypto and they are accumulating so many btc while bears are selling with complete pressure. It will be an amazing moment to watch how btc will break the $35k barrier and get back to its old ath.

That's possible but unlikely to happen given the current situation, the bull run is over, we can't expect a bull run to last for a year as that would make everything pump even the shitcoins. Let's just accept the fact that the market needs some correction as that what's strengthen it, and it's happening now, as a result, the market is bearish and it's should not be new to us.

unless you are hiding something that you are afraid to give you identity to the site.
Sometimes it doesn't work like that, even if you do not hide something illegal or not. That's still your privacy and it can't be bought by just xxxxx digits of money if you really care your privacy especially in the internet, there are lots of identity theft incidents happen every time. Even the known reputed websites (Ledger) after it got breached it ends up exposing their customer's data and that's really bad. And that's the cons and risks everytime you use such websites that ask personal info.

I understand that risk, but I'm willing to take the risk to claim $5,000, it's huge money and besides, I would not gamble on the site that I don't trust, they have also their reputation to take care of, so they need to take care of our information if they don't want their business to get destroyed.
3603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: June 27, 2021, 09:07:05 PM
What people/gamblers can do is to minimize the damage, and only play or give your personal info to those known long-running reputed website.

I agree if there's no choice after all.

Gamblers should be ready to comply with KYC especially if big winnings are experienced in the progress. We have no choice after all if that's the requirement before we can claim big winnings since we want that money. But for small winnings or something below $5,000 for example, KYC shouldn't be trigger here. Only for alarming, unusual, or something like that.

That's a huge amount, I would not let go of it by not complying with the KYC, of course, I would not hesitate to comply with the requirement and claim that money. We gamble to win, and winning big money is an ultimate success, so why not just comply and claim it, unless you are hiding something that you are afraid to give you identity to the site.
3604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: June 27, 2021, 08:48:05 PM
Casimero is creating hype on this fight by telling people on his video that he will teach Donaire a big lesson and after that, he will destroy Inoue, that's a big plan it's a big challenge for him, Donaire just found a fountain of youth he is back to his great self by destroying Oubaali where many thought Donaire will have a hard time, but turns out to be an easy fight for him.
Any upcoming fight should really be having some hype of it and as a boxer then it would really be part of the job on making those kind of words or actions just to make the upcoming fight to be more exciting which basically means that more money for the said fight.

You can eventually find it out to be that obvious on some situations though but it is understandable that they would really be needing on adding up some spice.

Lets see if Casimero wont really be eating his words on fighting Donaire which is more experienced and more faster.
It's best to create a hype to change the odds in almost all bookies since most bookies listed the hype goes to Donaire.
Since in terms of advantage it's still Donaire has it and Casimero is just himself armed with his fist that will knock down any opponent.
Let's just wait and see if Casimero can handle Donaire with all he got while making a scene to spice up the fight a little bit.
On the other hand Donaire isn't really bothered about it but instead it's thanking all of its fans for the great support to both of them especially the Filipino community.

We don't know what the betting odds are yet, so we cannot tell if Donaire is the favorite to win this fight, but regardless, I think the odds would not make one heavily favored as both are champions and they have created their names in the sport. All I can expect is that this will be a great fight as both wants to prove the world that they are world class champions.
3605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: June 27, 2021, 01:18:48 PM
I guess we should be disciplined all the time, but it's hard... especially when we are in a good mood and ready to risk what we have for some entertainment and possible big wins!

I guess I would be okay losing my control when I'm winning as I could end up winning a bit or losing all the money I have. Compared to out of control because you are losing, you could possibly add more money to gamble although you have already max out your limit, and because of that, it might result in bigger losses that you will regret for the rest of your life. We don't want to be in that situation, but because we got caught up in anger, we make a stupid decision.
3606  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is bitcoin the best one to invest in? Or am i too late? :( on: June 27, 2021, 12:50:14 PM
There is no such thing as "too late" when it comes to investing into Bitcoin. People say that they really regret for not investing into it many years ago. But they can still invest into Bitcoin for a long term. Nothing has changed. It was not the only chance to get rich or make a great deal of profit. If you become patient, you can get what you want in the future.
Exactly, the only time that you have to worry is that you didn't invest in the end which ends up with you regretting your decisions not to invest because you have doubts if you will be losing your investment, in my opinion, it only takes one leap of faith to see what's going to happen next.
There's always a timing for everything, and the best timing to invest is when you already fully understand the pros and cons of investing in crypto. it's not a typical type of investment, the risk here is high, hence the reward could be sometimes high, if we will not take the risk, then we don't have a chance of success here.

Yes, the market is already big, but if you look at its potential, you can still say that you are in the early stage and you will see more improvement in the future. If big companies are still investing now, then we should be confident with investing too.
3607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 27, 2021, 12:29:29 PM
Maybe rough him up, like Beverly defense on Booker, but as I have said, he is not intimidated and like to thrive in this pressure game.

Trae Young is now the best PG IMO, you can't stop him because he has everything, he is smart and he can get a foul if you put pressure on him, if he is in the line, that's automatic money as well because he is a great FT shooter. And mind you guys, Trae young is still playing with an injury, and he still manages to maintain being exceptional.

IIRC, Trae Young is not even an all-star, now that he has already proven people are wrong, then for sure next season, he will be an all start. Imagine if the Young Hawks would beat the Bucks in this series, that would be a big surprise on the NBA as we never thought they'll go this far.
young's breakout season, and evolve to an all-star, this was a great pick for the hawks, at first I thought he was just too small and thin, but he proves me wrong, in the future, he will keep getting better I just hope the hawks would build around him good players and another star player and dominate the east, although there are lots of teams that will not allow it, and build also their team to another level.

The confidence he had will make his team better, the squad of the Hawks are not even an all-star squad but they already reach this far. They are the most surprising this season actually, and I can say they have already surpassed our expectations, and winning in the ECF is already another bonus for them.

Trae Young also deserves to be an MVP, he should be one of the favorites next season. 
3608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a bad time for altcoins? on: June 26, 2021, 09:07:00 PM
Since the whole market is dropping now, it is common for Altcoin to be now to drop also. The crypto market is behaving like 2017.  So it is not right to invest in anything now
Yes, because at this time the market was focused on Bitcoin after FUD, maybe the Altcoin market will now improve after the bitcoin price is stable and it will also affect Altcoin too.
bitcoin and altcoin have strong rellation in market, every bitcoin movement it could give positive or negative effect to altcoin. sometimes they move parallelly and some time have different direction. if bitcoin price keep dropping , it will be bad moment for altcoin . most of them will continue dropping.

Not every movement IMO, because just like now, the movement of bitcoin is bearish, therefore it would not give a positive effect on altcoins, they will also dump, and there are even instances that bitcoin is bullish but altcoins are still not moving the same movement of bitcoin because people are divesting their money on altcoins to invest with bitcoin.
3609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: June 26, 2021, 08:48:54 PM
Usage of masks is a big preventive factor in covid-19. Once after the usage of masks, the virus spread decreased drastically. Once the spread started to slow down the governments gave relaxation and that is also a major reason for the second wave around the world. In certain parts of the world the usage of masks were stopped and now once again getting into regulation, because new form of delta virus is into attack.

Are the current vaccines not enough against the different variants of covid-19? I think the best thing to do is just not to go to public places if we still believe that our life is in danger and vaccines would not be able to help us. IMO, there's no reason to wear a mask if we are already vaccinated and it's already protecting our body against the virus.
3610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 25, 2021, 09:35:07 PM
The Hawks vs Bucks series is not interesting, however, if the Hawks will win again and make it a 0-2 for the Bucks, then I think they'll finally gain respect from the fans that they are a real deal and has a chance of winning he championship. It's still funny that the spread is still -7.5 for the Bucks despite this team's loss in game 1.

I love the Hawks to silence the crowd again, Trae Young will always be Trae Young, no one could stop him but he can be limited if they'll put the effective defense on him. We are going to witness another game in the series, a must-win for the Bucks and it's interesting to see how they'll do that.

There's another fight of Connor, it's already the 3rd fight and if he wins this fight, then we will surely see a Manny vs Connor fight happen. Both fighters needs to win, Connor to win against Poirier  and Manny needs to win against Spence, and there names will be hot again.
Both Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor has huge fan base and even if they do not win their next fight and if Manny Pacquiao wants to announce his retirement with one last fight it can be against Conor McGregor and it will do big numbers irrespective of their wins or losses in their next fight.

Lets be real, if Logan Paul and Jake Paul can pull in big numbers, Conor McGregor can always pull big numbers and he has proved that time after time.

Pacquiao is making history by still fighting the best boxers in the world even at his age now, I think he has no time fighting an exhibition fight if they will not meet their target. Prior to the defeat of Connor in his last fight, they were talking about a huge figure, and I don't think it's still possible if Connor will keep losing.
3612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 24, 2021, 09:27:43 PM
We saw a great game between Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks last night. The result was really surprising to me. I was expecting Bucks to crush Hawks in the first leg. Giannis and J. Holiday were actually very good. Both of them made a double-double and Giannis was the most scorer of the team as usual.  Grin  But there was a really big threat against them: Trae Young. This guy's performance was just insane! He scored 48 points which was very crucial for the win. Hawks got what they wanted for sure. Now, Bucks will be even more under pressure. They should win at least one game before losing the court advantage.

By the way, some people were saying long time ago that Trae Young was overrated. Look what level he is at right now.  Cheesy

He looks overrated but he is a real deal, that's why we are wrong with our expectations because we already concluded that he is overrated. I think Simons is overrated, lol.. can't shoot FT and got a max deal, I think Trae Young deserves better and I can only imagine the big bonuses he will be receiving after their good run.

3614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: June 21, 2021, 09:03:21 PM
I'm not surprised they went for the unification match as boxing is a business and it will be better for more revenue. It'll be interesting to see Casimero win because I want to see what he can do next and hopefully this will clear the way for Inoue. But Donaire is a veteran and will not go down lightly. It's going to be a tough fight for Donaire as well just because he's battling father time and wants to be undisputed. Respect for both fighters, it's going to be a good one.

We haven't seen this kind of fight before, I know it's necessary but the big question is, can it generate big money? One of the reasons why a fight is successful is if the fighters have different races, and knowing that the Philippines is a small country, will the Americans or Mexicans watch this fight?

If someone is a real boxing fan, they will probably watch this never seen before fight between these two Filipino superstars.
The Casimero - Rigondeaux fight might be boring to watch, but not this one for sure. We have seen Donaire fight many times and he's an exciting fighter to watch with his speed, power, and agility. Same thing goes to Casimero which is still at his prime hungry for more wins.
Selling tickets is not gonna be a problem I think. Because of the Covid safety protocols the events arena might limit the number of people in attendance. So, I guess they'll going to sell all of them anyway.


If it's held in the USA then I don't see a problem with a crowd to watch the fight, if you ever see the NBA playoffs now, I remember the Clippers had at least 18k attendance during the game 7 against the Jazz. So, I guess, this boxing fight will attract the crowd to watch it live, and those who cannot make it will just have to buy their PPV subscription.

And also, they're not going to make this fight If it wouldn't sell enough.

That's the logic.
3615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on: June 21, 2021, 08:46:25 PM

But still, you are talking about his capability in UFC, not in the real boxing world where Jake Paul is good at. We are too hype on his opponent but when they are in the ring, Jake Paul would easily finish them. So, no, I'm not gonna fall for the hype, the only one who can beat Jake Paul is a real boxer.
Tyron Woodley last won a fight in the UFC in 2018 and after that he is on a loosing streak and he is not showing his explosive skills he showed for years and he is 39 years old and he is not getting better, if the fight was in his prime i would wage a bet on Tyron Woodley to win but Jake Paul also picked the fight knowing that he is washed up and he is confident that he could finish the fight but still it is the most difficult opponent Jake faced and i will be surprised if Jake Paul will be able to knock out Tyron Woodley as he is having a good chin.
Jake Paul would win as he is choosing a fighter that he thinks he can beat so he can maintain his undefeated record, maybe he wants to become a Mayweather like with an undefeated record in the world of exhibition fights. I'm not sure why people are still talking about an exhibition fight when there's a lot of good real fights in boxing that need real support, maybe we should shift or focus our interest on real fights.
3616  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a bad time for altcoins? on: June 21, 2021, 03:03:36 PM
This is a bad for altcoins as all coins are red in market but this is the right time for investor to buy altcoins at their lowest prices and sell them in future when price will reach maximum price. The pump of altcoins is still pending so wait for the Pump and buy altcoins as many as you can.

I agree with you, this red market is a good opportunity to grab and don't miss or else you will regret not buying at the dip. The market now is not good but after this red market all coins will moving upward to follow bitcoin trend.
You may not rush buying altcoins because you saw their prices are fallen. You must have to check it first before considering this as an opportunity, coz I'm afraid if this could just bring you losses instead of aiming for a profit.
Actually, we're not yet in the bearish season that you will say it is the best position to buy coins. I suggest waiting until the market is finished with this downtrend. Coz I see a better opportunity when the prices started to recover than in a declining trend just like now.

It is another great story about Bitcoin, 2021 is the best year ever in crypto history. It has to see a kind of domino effect after El Salvador and it comes so fast. This is to picture out the strong support from small countries and certainly be looking for the big and well-established countries to follow then. Coz I had to say that they are more influential than El Salvador and Paraguay (soon) to attract more crypto users, investors, and traders.
3618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero on: June 21, 2021, 02:04:09 PM
I'll go for Donaire, not because he's a fellow Filipino but because his punch power is insane. I watched all of his matches and most of it are all win by knockouts. I can't compare him to Pacquiao's punch, but they could be the same with a little bit practice and experience. This fight is exciting as well as Pacquiao's incoming match this August.

I guess me and my cousins will have a friendly gambling competition on betting on which of the player is gonna win.

Regarding their punches, both boxers have good record of KOs. Donaire is a bit more experienced in the ring but this is counterbalanced  by  Casimero's  craving to fight for respect. Both boxers are  Filipinos champions and this has to  make the fight  particularly fierce. Providing the judges were stay not biased  I would bet on Casimero.

Both are KO artists, and we all agree to that. Here are their respective records.

Nonito Donaire - 27 KOs of 41 wins. 65.85 % KO RATE
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/48243

John Riel Casimero - 21 KOS of 30 wins  70% KO RATE
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/421916

As we can see the comparison, Casimero has a high KO rate but it was actually Donaire who has more championship fights experience.
3619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 21, 2021, 01:40:51 PM

Will be certainly betting on the Suns to sweep this series with game one ending in their favor.
Even if they do lose one or two games, I will be backing them through out these playoffs for each and every game from now on.
They are a red hot team to watch during this season and post season. Cool

That's a great idea as even if they loss in game 2, you'll still get good betting odds backing the Suns.
I don't know what the betting odds for game 2 is, but I think it should not be -5.5 above as the Clippers are not dominated in this game.

In game 3, we could see the Clippers to be the favorites, and that's a good opportunity to bet on the suns as well.
And even if the Suns will become the favorites, it should be a slight favorite only.

Phoenix Suns is hot right now:

Against the Lakers, they won the last 3
Against the Denver 4-0
Now, 1-0 against Clippers

Winning streak in this playoffs: 9

The winning streak will definitely continue on the next game at it will be again on their home court and Booker is playing like his idol, the late Kobe Bryant. Even without CP3, he himself become the point guard had his first triple double and doing in a WCF, amazing.

So I wouldn't be surprised if they sweep the Clippers in this series.
Without Kawhi in their lineup they are a lost team in the post season as game 1 had shown.
Seems like Booker has found his marksmen when he is being double teamed so this can be vital in pivotal times during the course of the series.
The sweep is imminent.
As I had said before, even if I bet on them and they lose a game in the next three games against the clippers, I won't be mad.


Much respect for the Clippers as they somehow lead in the game and that really showed their competitiveness. PG13 has stepped up big time, no Kawhi Leonard, at least they are still playing well although not enough to beat the Suns in game 1. As the first game is already over, we will surely see some big adjustment in game 2, and that includes limiting booker by putting more pressure on him.
Quote

I will back Suns and Booker to take it all the way to the finals.

You are not alone mate, good luck!
3620  Economy / Economics / Re: Is money the root of all evil as the poor to thinks? on: June 21, 2021, 12:48:36 PM
it's hard to say but it's true that money is the root of all evil, not only for the poor, even the rich can become evil if controlled by money. there are also many poor people who live happily without having to have everything by enjoying their social life that seems not far from the people around them, while rich people with their siblings can forget if they are controlled by money.
Many people just change their reputation and even destroy it because of money. It is a sort of greediness that lives inside and controls their minds. This has been often seeing nowadays. Corruption and market manipulations are two examples of how people had changed due to hungry for money. They wanted it all and they wanted to take control of other's wealth.

I have to believe that rich people become richer as they have the capabilities to make evil things. And these corrupt leaders could be easier to feed of money just to hide the wrongdoings of the rich people.
