Giga will take their first game, let's see if how the import will perform playing alongside with Coach Reyes squad that handicap is tempting but knowing Giga it's tough to bet against them  Roll Eyes Tongue no offense. Grin


McDaniels is a monster import, I don't know why TNT didn't get him anymore, maybe they prioritize NLEX so they could make it to the playoffs.

That's a nail-biting win for the Road Warriors and me of course hehe. There's not much crowd in there but it feels good that finally, they are back at the arena once again. Let's wait for the Ginebra games and see if they can pack the coliseum to its maximum capacity.
I think MVP knows that TNT is a great team and a championship caliber team already that is why instead of getting McDaniels as their import, they choose Moore as their import. Well they said it already that these 2 are owned by only one corporation so its like they have a higher chance of entering the playoffs and getting a higher spot if they put KJ on NLEX. Anyway, he is playing well and they are at the top of the standings already so I think he is a good fit there.

Another thing that I think is how SMC moved a lot this past off-season. We saw trades and even SMB broke the "Death 5" to have better and younger players. Well, its better to see SMC Vs. MVP on the playoffs rather than SMC vs SMC team or MVP vs. MVP team. Still, the competition of the league is still at its lowest.

On the other hand though, it seems like the losing streak of BlackWater will never stop with how they are playing. They lost again against the Meralco Bolts by a huge lead (21 points).

But look at this insane block from Lebron though they called it goaltending, this is amazing from a 37 years old guy.


He still has the verticality and we saw it thru this block.
I think he still has the capacity to carry the team but not to the point that he will do everything like what he did in Cleveland where the team is just a 1-man team where Lebron is doing everything. Well, Lakers are doing well in their last games and this buzzer beater by Reaves is just unexpected because many expects that either LeBron, Westbrook or Davis will have the final shot.

Many here are talking about the Lakers but why nothing is talking about Graham's buzzer beater at the other side of the court? I mean that is farther than Jerry West's buzzer beater back many years ago. Even Shai who shot the three to tie the game is very shock and many, many including me shocked at what happened. Nobody expected it to went in but it happened Cheesy. Like WTF Cheesy.
3783  Economy / Economics / Re: Robert Kiyosaki expects a market crash and economic crisis - do you believe it? on: December 14, 2021, 01:06:22 PM
Also, he said that he plans to buy gold, bitcoin, and real estate when the price goes down. Mr. Robert Kiyosaki is a prominent investor who has a net worth of more than 100 million dollars and also a supporter of bitcoin.
OP, are you familiar with who Rober Kiyosaki is?  If you were, you would know his statements about buying gold and whatever else are complete bullshit.  He's been saying the same thing over and over for years, and the fact is that he's a permabull on certain asset classes (like gold and silver).  And these kinds of predictions are being--and have been--made by the likes of him and Mike Maloney and Peter Schiff constantly. 

Just like the media and government, they want you to be living in economic fear or fear in general.  That makes it much easier to manipulate you to do things such as buying metals (in the case of Kiyosaki).  Don't fall for this crap, and my advice would be to just ignore him and others of his ilk.
I'm a big fan of Kiyosaki because he changed my mindset and the way I'm thinking about working. He is also one of the reasons why I'm not working for others right now and I let my money work for me.
Now that this is the case, I think that I will not follow most of what he is saying starting now especially in assets like Gold, Silver and Real Estate.

Expectations and predictions are almost the same. Its just they used different words but in the end, they don't know what will happen in the future accurately. Well, its possible that they are just spreading fear to all of the people to sell all of their holdings. In this case then, many will do the opposite including him. This is how an influential person is that powerful. They can manipulate assets at their own will if they want to.
3784  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dollar Cost Averaging Question on: December 14, 2021, 12:24:34 PM
If I wanted to buy $1,400 of bitcoin every week, should I buy $200 a day or should I buy the $1,400 every week?

Any options will be greatly appreciated.

Both of them have pros and cons.

If you both $1400 of Bitcoin in one trade, there is a chance that you can get a huge loss if it goes down more but at the same time you can get huge profits if it goes up as well.
On the other hand if you buy $200 daily, you have a chance to buy at a lower price and gain more profit there but at the same time you can buy also at the bottom which can affect your profits as well.

TBH, this is very subjective because different people have different strategies when it comes to investing. As for me, I'm just allocating a portion of my total salary and I'm buying Bitcoin once every month regardless of the price but as much as possible I'm buying at the lowest price possible.
3785  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Viable Altcoin for the moment on: December 14, 2021, 11:22:23 AM
Ethereum
Binance Coin
Solana and Cardano.

Not a financial advice as most people are saying whenever they are sharing their opinion. Its just my own opinion and I think these 4 are the coins that can be a good investment for the long term. Notice that they are all smart contract tokens. Its because I believe that smart contract coins are the ones that will prosper. Well, not all will survive (probably) but I think most of them will especially those at the top ones. Just see Ethereum when ICO became a hype. Many projects emerged under Ethereum Blockchain. See Binance Smart Chain. Many projects emerged as well. Many more will be like this in the future and I believe that investing in 1 or 2 in these altcoins will give you huge profits in the long run.

I might add AXS token too because I'm a fan and I'm playing that game Tongue.
3786  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to Hit $150,000 in 2022 on: December 14, 2021, 10:44:19 AM
As the rate of inflation rise all over the world, Bitcoin is seen as the hedge over inflation which is why so many analyses predicted $70,000 Bitcoin price in 2021 which was achieved as Bitcoin made an all-time price of above $70000 and the deflationary forces that faced the top commodities and exchange globally forced Bitcoin price to drop back to its present price. This has led me to say that 2022 Bitcoin is going to cross the $100,000 bitcoin price predictions.
What you are saying is the same as other so-called analysts out there.
Its all prediction but its all useless and worthless.

Now see what is happening with Bitcoin right now. Its moving sideways this past week at around $47,000-$52,000. Right now we are in a stage where we don't know where the market is heading towards with. Will it go upwards or will it go downwards. Will the bulls prevail or will the bears take over the market. Right now the market isn't doing well this past few weeks as we already saw Bitcoin went from $69,000 which is its ATH to around $47,000 right now. TBH, I don't know where the market will go but I already secured some profits just incase the worst thing happens.
3787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 14, 2021, 10:15:59 AM
Although the Warriors don't have an excellent squad (only Curry for me is a high level player), the GSW is playing very well, the team has chemistry and they are winning most of the games.... Unlike the Lakers, who unfortunately , having one of the best squad in the NBA today, he is still fighting for a playoff spot, with much lower performance than expected (I only did a GSW vs Lakers comparison)

If Klay Thompson returns like he was before and have chemistry with others players, I have no doubt the Warriors could be one of the favorites for this season's NBA title.
When you have a good leader like Curry, the players will follow and if they follow they will play better at every game.
Chemistry is one of the keys why the Warriors are at the top right now and maybe lets add their Coach and lets give him some credits on how he changed the Warriors since he became the coach of the team. This is why I'm always a Warrior fan. Since the start of the season even though they got new players in Bjelica, Porter, GPII and Rookies Kuminga and Moody, the chemistry has been built already.

Lakers?? They are having a good time right now winning 3 of their last 5 games and they are above 500 right now. Its because LBJ stepped up. He is doing almost the same as he is doing when he played in Cleveland where he always gets the ball, pass to his teammates etc. Maybe the chemistry is starting to build already with how they are playing right now but we don't know. We might see them winning games but we might see them losing consecutive ones in the future.
3788  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I bought $271 worth of Bitcoin in late 2009 on: December 13, 2021, 11:04:12 AM
A made up story I think for no reason whatsoever.

If he really wants to get back the Bitcoins that he "bought" then he must share more information here but just by seeing his profile, he only has one post and its this thread only. Not saying that OP is lying but if I lost a huge amount, I will have a sense of urgency and will share any information possible so that people here can help me but in this case he isn't.

Well, if this is true (0% chance it is) then good luck searching your bought Bitcoins.
3789  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian Prime Minister Promoting Bitcoins Giveaway on: December 13, 2021, 10:38:25 AM
When you will see the title its like "Ohhh the Indian Government has mood swings because you saw them banning cryptocurrencies (not all) and now they are promoting it and organizing a giveaway" but when you dig and see the posts here you will see that it is hacked and I think its obvious just by seeing the tweet and that link below. I don't think as well that they will do this and will donate 500 BTC to random people.

Well, its quite unfortunate that there are still investors who are falling into this kind of scams. This are not new and it is being used by scammers for quite some time already and yet many are falling into it. This is what will happen if you are not knowledgeable in crypto especially in scams.
3790  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why the bitcoin market has been dumping so much for months on: December 13, 2021, 10:19:30 AM
A tornado has been raging in the crypto market for several months. As a result, Bitcoin was falling from 59,000 to 42,000 this month. After a while, 17 thousand dollars was reduced to see.
It isn't a tornado but a hurricane that is raging in the crypto market for months already Cheesy.
59,0000-42,000 in a few months?? Nothing uncommon. We also saw Bitcoin went down from $20,000 back to $3,000 in just a few months so nothing new with the recent correction.

It was coming down from 64,000 to 28,000 a few months ago.
Well, we all saw it so.. what's the point??

Why is there so much dumping in the market. Where the position of Bitcoin is supposed to go in the right direction?
Emotions, sentiments from investors and taking profit and also add futures too Cheesy.
These are the reasons why there are so much dumping is happening in the market. People took profit at that price and many positions got liquidated causing the price to go down even further.

Do you think this is a sign of stable market?
With a market cap at around 2 Trillion Dollars, I don't think that it can be considered as a stable market. Many can still manipulate it. Many can pump and dump coins. Bitcoin dumping isn't a sign that it is becoming stable thus, it is a sign that investors took profit Smiley.
3791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 13, 2021, 09:56:21 AM
By the way, who else here is looking forward to Thompson's return to the Warriors?
As a Warrior fan, I'm excited to see Thompson's return to the court.
I mean who isn't? We haven't seem him playing for the last 2 seasons because of the injury. Many want to see if the Splash Brothers connection is still there. Many wants to see how will the team be with Thompson returning. Can we see a Big 3 now instead of just the Splash Brothers with Poole adding to the list? Many questions and it will be answered once Klay will return.

Speaking of KD, nobody talking about the 51 piece he put up tonight?
Since we all know that he is capable of scoring 50 points, I think this is kinda expected therefore many aren't speaking it anymore.
Its kinda funny that people are speaking more when the Lakers are losing than KD scoring 50 points in a single game Cheesy.
3792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: December 13, 2021, 09:18:34 AM
Araneta tickets have been already shown how much they cost. The patron A will cost 375 only.
(https://www.facebook.com/pbaofficial/photos/a.841558309193939/5369141203102271)
They've put down the prices so that everyone who wants to watch it live can afford it. I thought that they would be making the prices too expensive for them to recover but I was wrong with that expectation.
I still remember the time where we went in the MOA Arena for the first time to watch PBA game and that is SMB Vs. TNT. If I remember correctly, the price of ticket at that time is around 400-500 and we are at almost the uppermost part of the arena.

I think making the price of tickets cheaper will attract more people to watch the game. Its a win-win situation for both the PBA and the audiences. Since we are slowly recovering financially because of the pandemic, its understandable that there are some people who can't watch the games live because of the expensive tickets so to solve this problem, PBA made the tickets affordable for those people who wants to watch their games live. Well, I just hope that cheaper tickets will attract more people to watch live and I hope that I will be seeing more people in the arena than the previous years where there are only few people watching for some reasons.
3793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People claiming themself satoshi on: December 11, 2021, 03:02:53 PM
When we all don't know who the creator is, its expected that many will claim that they are Satoshi.
Craig Wright is by far the biggest fraud of all time when it comes to claiming that they are Satoshi. He is that desperate that he spent time and money in the court just to prove that he really is Satoshi.
Well since we don't know who Satoshi Nakamoto is, maybe we can all say that "We are Satoshi Nakamoto" Smiley.

There are some persons too that they suspected that they are Satoshi. Dorian Nakamoto, Hal Finney, Nick Szabo are just 3 of them since they are the most popular ones but there are no proofs that will justify that they really is Satoshi.
3794  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the single worst piece of advice you ever received relative to Bitcoin? on: December 11, 2021, 10:28:42 AM
I often read lists of tips and other best practices in the Bitcoin world, but i thought it would be interesting to share the worst Bitcoin advice you may have received throughout your adventure in this incredible monetary revolution.
Hmmmmmm I think the "Bitcoin is a scam" quote is by far the worst advice that I've seen in the internet in the last 4 years. I said internet because nobody in person gave an advice for me since I just learn myself with the help of the internet.

Well, its good that I didn't follow what they are saying because if I did then I might not know Bitcoin until now. Its just good that I stopped what I'm doing 4 years ago which is being involved in an MLM company to focus more in Bitcoin and crypto in general. This scam that they are saying are the reason why some investors are getting rich right now and many more will be in the future but of course if there will be rich ones, there will be ones that will lose their money. Well, its part of the investment that there are losers and gainers Cheesy.
3795  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Play2earn games on: December 11, 2021, 09:51:19 AM
How good will Play2earn games be that someone can rely on them for daily weekly or monthly income? Axie infinity was a blast but now it's no more a easier option for people that are struggling because the requirements to play the game is highly costly, are there free to play crypto games available?
You're earnings in Axie Infinity will depend on some factors.
How good are you in the game? How many energy do you have to be used daily? How many scholars do you have? Do you know how to flip axie? and so on and so forth. As for my situation, I have 40 energy to be used per day and at the same time I have scholars. My monthly income? Its enough to cover my monthly expenses here and at the same time, I save some for my future thru liquidity mining and AXS staking.

TBH, there are many people who are still getting monthly income in Axie Infinity. Its just that it will took a long time to get the ROI and some factors. F2P games available? There might be some but these games aren't sustainable in the long run. I will not say some games but in general, you will not earn that much when you are just F2P in NFT games just like when you are F2P in RPG games. You will not gain much progress if you don't invest into it.

Only few games you can free to play, mostly it's for early adopter. AFAIK Mir4 still free to play until now.
Mir4 is free to play since it is downloadable in their official website.
In terms of play to earn aspect?? Not so much unless you have multiple accounts. You need to spend some time leveling up your alt accounts and you need to fight with those bots just to have a spot to mine, gain DarkSteel and smelt it to become Draco which is the coin that you will sell. I'm playing Mir4 but I'm only using one account since I'm not focusing on the play to earn aspect but since I'm a fan of RPG games, I tried to play this and I find it entertaining.
3796  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My crypto lessons in 2021 on: December 11, 2021, 08:12:50 AM
1. Still I ended losing more money than I made, I was sitting on 30,000$ profit last month but I failed to take profit just because of 100k BTC rumour that looks like reality
That's quite unfortunate for you as a trader.
Well, we are all expecting for Bitcoin to go to $100,000 this year since we are in a bull run but it seems like it will not happen at least in the next few months but in the long term we know that it will reach that price. The recent correction makes Bitcoin to $100,000 unlikely and almost impossible at least for this year and possible in the 1st quarter of 2022.

2. be careful of Crypto YouTubers deceiving people to buy in cryptos where as they are simply predictions, most times crypto market can't be predicted correctly
TBH, I'm watching some of the crypto youtubers in the past not because I want to invest into the coins that they are saying but I just want to hear their opinions.
I'm not following them at that time since I already knew that some of these youtubers are being paid to advertise a specific coin. I will not give names of these youtubers but if you are browsing on youtube and watching some crypto influencers then you know some Smiley. Just don't follow them and if you can't choose which coin to invest then just pick Bitcoin and don't overstress yourself.

3. Follow your heart and nothing else cos if I've done that I would have pull my 30k profits and now I'm left with 5000$ in usdt
I've experienced this also.
I have holdings right now (around 5 digits) and I want to sell it at the peak of the market but I'm thinking of the same as you. I think the best thing to do is to just move on and plan on what will you do in the future. For me I just let it go, moved on and planned for what will I do in the future. After all, I still have extra cash in my pocket so that if the bear market happens then I will just dollar-cost averaging.
3797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bear market is inevitable on: December 11, 2021, 07:17:59 AM
Right now, we are seeing a different move of Bitcoin. In 2020, Bitcoin's movement is going upwards but this year 2021 its the opposite. Instead of it going up, it goes down.
Right now, there are investors too especially those who bought at the top that are in a denial phase. They still believe that the market will go up and they also believe that they will get profits at the soonest time possible.

I will be crazy if I will say that there are no market that isn't undergoing bear market. Stocks, crypto, bonds you name it. Markets have bull and bear market and it is a cycle. Like they always say "What goes up goes down." and we might see it right now with the crypto market. Bitcoin can't hold the $50,000 resistance and right now it is below that price but it remained sideways this past few days. Lets wait for what will happen to it. Will the bull continue to control the market or the bears will take over and control it. Smiley
3798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 11, 2021, 06:46:13 AM
Anthony Davis out tonight and they finally let Dwight get the start and a few minutes… They win by 21. Biggest win of the year? Maybe. Normally you would think with their star player out and the team struggling they wouldn’t be getting their biggest win (or close to) of the season. I think AD is overrated, not playing up to expectations, and a constant injury concern. The Lakers really need to be considering what they can get for him. Resigning him to a post-LeBron contract or losing him to free agency will doom the team for years.
I think I might agree with what you said regarding AD being overrated. He is being paid too much and he isn't contributing that much in the past 2 seasons because of injuries. His injuries hinders him from playing at his full potential. Its good to see Dwight starting and with that, the Lakers had a huge lead at the start of the quarter.

This might be a blowout win for the Lakers but lets not forget how they lost with the underrated Thunder twice this season Cheesy. Well, it seems like focusing the ball on Lebron is helping the team because he got 33 points with this game.
3799  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: December 10, 2021, 10:30:22 PM
I used to like Frank Vogel, but it seems like he's just not the man for this job.  I'm sure he's a brilliant coach, but for whatever reason his style of play does not seem to mesh well with the Lakers roster and I think it's time to either say goodbye to the head coach, or trade Anthony Davis.
Just after getting the championship last 2020, the Lakers under Coach Vogel aren't playing the same as they are when they won the championship.
Now they are on a stage where they are having a lot of problems despite having multiple all-star players.

Between trading Davis and finding a new head coach, I think finding a new coach would be a better choice for the team. I think there is no problem with the roster but the problem is the coach. He can't give Howard more minutes even though he is playing very well.

~
~
Anthony Davis at Center is not effective. Vogel should modify his lineup.
This is the reason why the Lakers are always finding another big that can fulfill the center position. Davis aren't comfortable and effective at 5 spot and its obvious that he isn't. The problem with Coach Vogel is he is putting him in 5 where in fact he is more efficient at the 4 spot which is also the reason maybe why they are having a hard time winning.

This Fake-toshi drama has been there for years already. He spent millions proving to the court that he is Satoshi where in fact he really isn't Satoshi. Well, he made us laughed a bit though Smiley.
There is only one very simple way for him to prove that he really is Satoshi. Sign a message of the address where a million Bitcoin is stored. That's it.

Ok he won at the court. Does it prove that he is Satoshi. Do we believe that he really is Satoshi now? Do you think people who is in crypto for quite some time will believe that this shitty scammer is Satoshi? Maybe those newbies will believe but for others not a single chance. Proving in the court and winning isn't enough to prove that he is the real Satoshi. He can just claim it, I can just claim it too without spending any penny, a beggar can claim it, my dog can claim it and anybody can claim that we are Satoshi Nakamoto. Just sign a message where a million Bitcoin is stored and if he can do it then we will believe in him.
