What can you say about this deal? NBA trade deadline grades: Clippers pick up Rajon Rondo from Hawks for Lou Williams, per report.

Never thought that Rondo will land on the another Los Angeles team, last year he was helping Lakers to win their championship with Lebron. Now he is on the Clippers side now, I think the obvious winner here is Clippers are Rondo has the experience and they really need a good point guard to rotate the ball and help distribute it.

Reports are saying that Lowry will stay with Toronto.

I agree this was a good pickup for the Clippers.  If they do go head to head with the Lakers, Rondo's experience there should help them in predicting offensive sets and knowing what bothers the players from the defensive end. 

I keep reading that the Lakers aren't willing to part with THT to get Lowry.  They must have high expectations for that kid, because from the LeBron "win now" perspective it would seem like adding Lowry over THT would be the way to go.

Rondo is underrated, at least Clippers understand that by getting him for one of their best players.

I like Rondo's presence in the floor and he deserve a team that has a chance to be in the NBA Finals, so I'm guessing that Rondo will have a back to back championship here.. imagine that?

Yes, he is underrated, maybe they forget that Rondo has rings with Boston too.

So this is a good addition for the Clippers, they are looking for a real point guard, Lou Williams is not.

I don't know, but THT is good and maybe that's why the Lakers doesn't want to let go of him instead of getting Kyle Lowry. THT is just 20 years old, Lakers for sure are looking to developed this young talent. 35 year Lowry vs 20 year THT, easy pick for the LA.

Yeah, it somewhat contradicted itself, so not sure of a bullish indication though. There are so many correlations that we can seen and it's either a hit or a miss. Might be interesting to see if this holds true in a bearish trend, for sure we might see some inverse correlation.

So for now, I would say that it's 50/50 indication. So it's not a guarantee for bitcoin price action.
3783  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ancajas vs Rodriguez - April 10th on: March 25, 2021, 09:05:56 AM
Yeah, i've been waiting for this fight to happen and glad that this is finally happening on April, the long wait for our Pretty boy Jerwin Ancajas is over.

Though he has not fought for over a year now, i don't think ring rust would be a factor as he is in the US now, waiting and training hard for this fight to come.

Bookies would put Ancajas on the A side of this match and i hope he will won and fought Estrada for the unification of titles.

Against Rodriguez, might be some sort of a tune up fight (sorry for the word) and a preparation for bigger name fighters like Estrada or Ioka.

There were other fights which were supposed to just be a tune up and the result did not go the way that it was expected. Alejandro Santiago Barrios managed to score a draw against Ancajas.

A fight with Estrada would be difficult to make because Estrada is fighting on DAZN. Boxing politics is what has been holding him back these past years. He should've fought Estrada and Roman Gonzalez already but he isn't affiliated with the right promoter.

That's the only downside though, boxing politics, but again, if promoters are hearing noises from boxing fans to have Ancajas vs Estrada for reunification of their belts and the money could be there then why not?? Probably when this pandemic is over, or at least it has been contain in the US wherein the boxing money is, maybe in about a year or two, and hopefully, we will see them in the ring together.

Time for Ancajas to really step up the plate and fight other belt champion in this stack division.

Since the big 3 will be out of the Miami Open, who do think that has a good chance to win this tournament? It's going to be a good opportunity for others in the top 10 to break in the winning column here.

For one, Medvedev should be a good candidate here and so is Zverev and Tsitsipas. But there are also a lot of good players in this pandemic, outside of the top 5 or top 10 that can pull a surprise here.
Yes, this is a great opportunity for young players to win this tournament, especially if look at the list of champions, none of them have ever won this tournament, from the list of players who played in this tournament only John Isner has ever won it.
https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/miami/403/overview

D. Thiem has the same chance as the list you have mentioned, it's just that this year he hasn't shown a good performance. Aslan Karatsev might come back to give surprises to the top players because at the moment he is still showing a nice performance.

Is Asian Karatsev in this tournament? If yes, as the top 3 or even consider it top 4 including Murray not entering the Miami Open, I would like the chances of Karatsev here as the big underdog to even reach the finals.

Top 3 will be Medvedev and then Zverev who just won the Mexico leg beating Tsitsipas. And there could be no names breaking into this tournament and pull a giant killing.

I've been in the cryptocurrency sector since the infancy, and I've seen the brightest and darkest days of BTC, but when I look at the current growing conditions of the bitcoin industry, I see that we've come a long way, and most of the world accepts cryptocurrency payments, and some major brands are even linked to the BTC world.

But every now and then, I wonder if these circumstances will last longer and improve in the future.

What are your thoughts on the matter?


Definitely we have move forward in the last 10 years, bitcoin narrative has change, now it is treated Store of Value (SoV), currency (money) and used for micro-payment (although this is debatable because of the high fees) and then speculative asset. And now companies to hold on their balance sheet.

And bitcoin might evolved again in the next decade, we don't know, but one things for sure, bitcoin will still and be relevant, regardless of what its critics say. As for the price, $100k might be in the horizon.

Nets vs Trailblazers - Nets is going to be without Kyrie will James Harden is questionable with a neck injury. That's why I'm quite surprised to see the ML line here as the Portland is not the favorite @1.62. I think Portland will have this one and for sure Dame and CJ will take advantage of Net's missing their two superstar.

edit: Harden is playing.

And no problem, Harden almost registered another triple double, he has 7 rebounds. Jeff Green still playing very good basketball, pouring in 20 points. But I really like Nicolas Claxton performance though, this kid is really making a statement of his own with the Nets.

Good for those who have bet on Nets because they are the underdog here, it's like 2.x odds for them ML.

I thought we were gonna see another great Damian Lillard finish once the game entered Dame Time. Unfortunately the Nets stuck it out and got the win. It’s funny that I expect some sort of last minute greatness from Dame after all his heroic end of game moments.

Yeah, unfortunately, he had a bad shooting night plus the defense of Nets, doubling teaming him makes it hard for him to score. I thought him and CJ and just going to take this one away from Brooklyn.

Perhaps the blow out lost against Dallas the last time was still there psychologically. I put a bet on Portland ML prior to the game. They take the lead in the first quarter and I said that it will be a win for them, too bad.

Looking forward to bet on this match, for sure these will be a good fight between the two of them since many were excited to watch their fight.

And speaking of the odds, that higher odds is possible if you can already bet now few weeks before the actual game. I experienced betting that high odds before but expect that it will gonna change when the game nearly start.

Just wait till a few more days before the actual fights, there might be other betting options, more juicier odds for Anjacas.

Jerwin has been holding this belt and has face a lot of challenges already. Nothing new here and extra motivated to face Estrada for a reunification although a Japanese is holding one of the belts. Ancajas vs Estrada will also be another epic match, but Jerwin advantage is that he is the power puncher and he will show it in this fight.
3789  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin at $50k: Looking back at the price perspective on: March 24, 2021, 02:16:40 AM
This is lie changing. Emerging someone just invested 1USD back then and manage to hold it up to this time, that will be a financial turn-around. Digital currency is the future as it will alleviate poverty in many nations.

Just to be clear though, bitcoin was initially never thought to alleviate poverty or tip the balance of wealth inequality, it as design to be used for micro-payment scheme. It just evolved overtime and no one really thought about it being now as a store of value.

So I don't think that those who invested early, or bought at $1.00 hold it for so long. Maybe when they saw it was was giving them 5x-10x in the beginning, they have sold it already.
3790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos ordered by IBF on: March 22, 2021, 10:06:51 AM
Quick update on this fight.

Looks like we already have a date, per Teofimo Lopez it will be on the 29th of May via Triller PPV who won the purse bid for the fight.

Just don't how if this fight will sell to the boxing fans as this date is close to the Canelo vs Saunders bout which will happen on May 8 and the hype for this fight might not be there.
 
Quote
Teofimo Lopez spoke with Ak & Barak about his upcoming fight with George Kambosos Jr — which he says is happening on May 29, likely in Miami

https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/3/13/22328660/teofimo-lopez-next-fight-oscar-de-la-hoya-originally-co-feature-triller-ppv-boxing-news-2021

I think this is still hype around it, specially around Teofimo Lopez, he is one of the hottest boxer specially after defeating Loma. And he has a Hispanic origin, so Miami is a good venue to held this fight.

Kambosos be ready though, he is lucky he got a shot at Lopez right now, so he should prepare and show us something. That he deserves this fight and make it as entertaining for boxing fans.
3791  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it bearish season yet? on: March 22, 2021, 09:42:51 AM
Bear season is where bitcoin does a massive correction just like what happened in 2017 and it lasted until mid-2020 if I am not mistaken. Bitcoin already tripled its ATH last 2017 and many altcoins now are also increasing very fast. Mass adoption is happening so I think this bull season will last for a year or so. A small correction or dump is normal because it retests the support, if bulls are strong enough to hold it then a new ATH can happen again. Those are also testing the new adopters if they are strong enough to not panic sell and for others to be a buying opportunity as well.

Yes, however, we haven't even reach the top yet, so there's no bear market that will last for 3 years just like the last time. On the contrary, since we don't know what is the top, this bear market could be different as well as bitcoin's narrative has evolved as well.

Now, it's a different ball game, bitcoin is now on the companies profile as a reset asset in their balance sheet. So we're not in a bearish season, not even close, bulls will remain dominant till now.
3792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do we need Litecoin when we have Bitcoin Cash? on: March 21, 2021, 10:35:32 AM
Real question, Bitcoin cash does it all and better with a stronger backing. Why Litecoin?



Why do we need Bitcoin Cash then when we have Bitcoin (BTC), BTC.

And then the people behind BCH is somewhat devious, not to be trusted and we all know that. That's why it didn't enjoy the consensus or support from this community.

While Litecoin, been in the market for so long and yet this continue to survive, and I will say that it has been adopted more as compare to BCH.

Is it necessary to practice bitcoin trading by replaying the market?

Definitely, specially if your strategy is really working then why change it? As the saying goes, if ain't broke don't fix it, so it applies to crypto trading as well.

And the whole bot development is based on millions upon millions of back test and they will find the best solution that fits our goal. So yes, there's a lot of benefit from doing the same strategy over and over again as long as it is very effective for you.
3794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Artur Beterbiev vs Adam Deines Unified Light Heavyweight Title on: March 21, 2021, 09:46:10 AM

This is a good challenge for Canelo if he steps in again in the light heavyweight division, the man can punch and he can knock out anyone that is if he can connect a punch, Beterbiev can rule the light heavyweight division for a long time with his power, the chances on him to fight Canelo is slim, he'll have to wait because he has a lineup of a good opponents in his weight division.

If the money is good I think Canelo is more willing to step up specially if there's no more worthy opponent in the super middle weight as he is poise to clean up that division. Although Beterbiev himself the same as well, he is willing to go to cruiserweight if the money is right, so we will have to see.

But if ever these two meet up in a catch up, Canelo is still far more superior in any category and I think he will win by decision.

Beterbiev will likely fight the winner of the WBO title fight and then fight Bivol for the undisputed title. There is still a lot that needs to happen but if he wins all the belts at light heavyweight then a fight with Canelo, who is also on track to become undisputed champion, would certainly become a super fight that everyone will want to see.

Probably, again if the money in the table is right specially for Canelo.

Although Canelo and his coach has made it publicly known that they are going to stay at the super middle weight though, but we will see. The only thing that can go against Beterbiev though is that he is a European fighter, he is good no doubt but he needs to showcase his skill in the US, just like what GGG did to at least create more hype = more money. So let's see how everything will pan out for him. I like the Bivol vs Beterbiev fight first, it's a unification bout.
3795  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Artur Beterbiev vs Adam Deines Unified Light Heavyweight Title on: March 21, 2021, 06:56:28 AM
Beterbiev hits like a mule and a fight against Canelo would be very intriguing. One of the things he has going against him is his lack of activity and his age. He is already 36 years old and still has under 20 fights. He is very robotic in his style and it will be easy for Canelo to land punches on him. He will have to use his offense to break Canelo down and look for a late KO.

This is a good challenge for Canelo if he steps in again in the light heavyweight division, the man can punch and he can knock out anyone that is if he can connect a punch, Beterbiev can rule the light heavyweight division for a long time with his power, the chances on him to fight Canelo is slim, he'll have to wait because he has a lineup of a good opponents in his weight division.

3796  Economy / Speculation / Re: By 4/20, the price of bitcoin had rising to $69,000? on: March 20, 2021, 08:42:35 AM
The price point of 69,000 per Bitcoin sounds really good for me by April 20. 

Right, we all want to see bitcoin reaches another all time high again this month.

Really wish all the Americans would start using their stimulus money to pump more into the Bitcoin market.

Remains to be seen, last time though, base on the data, the price spike coincidence with the stimulus check being release to the Americans. However, we really don't know if they are going to do it again with the latest set of the stimulus. I think with institutions still wanted to get their hands on bitcoin, for sure with or without the stimulus package, sooner or later we will eventually see the price going to $69k or even higher as there are a lot of predictions that at least at the end of the year $100k is possible. So let's see how it will pan out.
3797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another month of March on: March 20, 2021, 08:09:48 AM
I will keep this short, we all know how month of March do not favour bitcoin at all, bear market started ending of February and today is the last day of February, hope the market will not still go downside? I do fair the month of March because bitcoin and generally all cryptocurrencies do suffer in price declination during this time.

What you think this coming month (March) will bring?
March has already passed and I would not say that this month was bad for the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin rose above $ 60,000 a week ago and is now at around $ 59,000. It is quite possible that at the end of the month we may see another wave of its price growth. Last year, March was bad for prices in the cryptocurrency market because it was then that the spread of the coronavirus was officially announced. There is no such negative information so far this year. The third wave of the spread of the coronavirus has begun, but Bitcoin will not be scared by this anymore.

What's bad about that? we have seen a new all time high, bitcoin dip but we have recovered already.

We don't have control of the corona virus right now, and not only bitcoin or crypto in general was affected by it. But after a year, and with speculation that this month will be the start of the bear market, bitcoin rose to another all time high and we still have a couple of weeks to surpassed it and set a new one. The trend of March being a bad month for bitcoin has been broken already.

^^ Definitely, Philly and Bucks will be the biggest test for Nets in the East. Joel playing MVP level (although is he injured), and then the resurgent Bucks with Giannis again playing very good basketball as well.

It's just the spotlight on the big 3 of Nets right now, initially many thought that it won't work with Harden and Irving playing together, but so far they prove as wrong, although their winning streak might be stop today by the Orlando Magic.
I'll take Phili as the biggest threat in the east for the nets, if Joel will be 100% healthy until playoffs this be for sure it will give trouble for the nets, we see how they push the raptors, without the lucky bounce by Leonard they would have been in the finals, and I think they have now more experience on how to handle and play in pressure, embid will be hard to stop underneath Jordan can't handle embid for sure.

Yes, Philly has been in that situation before, they wouldn't want to lose it again if it presented to them against the Nets in the playoff. Joel as I have said is playing impressively and Simmons has move forward the trade rumour that's why he is also playing good as well.

We want to see Joel healthy and the Nets big 3 as well to see who is the best in the East and I would say who's going to top the Eastern Conference might have a good chance as well to become the NBA champion.

Bitcoin start the year with $28,800 and now it as doubled in value $58,300 late last month, since the correction, it rebounded, now threatening to break another all time high

We'll know the new all time high until the bear market sets in and until we finish the year, the market keeps setting up milestone and keeps moving up, the ride still continues, there are people predicting it will go higher than $100k but that's still to be seen, we must take this opportunity to make profit because nothing last forever.

We are still in March, barely reaching the 1st quarter of this year. And that is why a lot of speculators are still predicting that $100k will come this year. So the latest high at $61k could be easily broken this year or even this month.

And that is why this year is really interesting, enjoying the bull run, but we all know that the bearish trend might come though. Bitcoin can't go parabolic like this, so it's better to take this opportunity and make profit and then leave something for the worst, just saying.
