3901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does implementing a tax on a gambling platform really help a country? on: June 18, 2021, 11:08:27 AM
Any tax that the government will receive is considered as income, hence it will help in the financial aspect.

However, a country cannot just accept gambling operators and give them license without proper control, they should also look at the effect of the people within a country if overall it will not give a positive effect like it will increase the gambling addiction or the crime due to gambling, then there's no reason to be more aggressive in issuing a license, everything should be foreseen so risk could be managed.

The Philippines have POGO, these are gambling operators that are foreigners and cater only foreigners, so this way it will not make people addicted but the people will benefit from taxes through the government.

That's correct, allow foreign investors to invest and get the revenue through tax while protecting the people to gamble because the Philippines is a developing country, what it needs is to improve its infrastructure, create jobs and they can a good income from taxes revenue of the foreign operators.
3902  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The bull market still exists on: June 18, 2021, 03:49:40 AM
After analyzing the Fed meeting, I found that its timetable is basically consistent with my predicted Bitcoin price changes. It is expected that there will be an interest rate hike in the first half of 2022, which is also the time when the bull market reaches its peak. There will be no major breakthrough in the price of Bitcoin in the short term, and it may take two to three months to build the bottom for the next bear market. The $40,000-60,000 range will be the bottom price of the next bear market.
if the market demand remains high until next year, we might able to reach that price (or even more).
Nevertheless, the market remains unstable and we definitely have to expect changes in the days coming and we cannot just base the situation today for the future because it totally not the same.

In fact, many speculations arise that after the Bullrun the market went down hard but see what happens, we are still at high ($30k plus). It seems to be surprising and it is to prove that the market is unpredictable.
3903  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do I invest in cryptocurrency or coinbase COIN on: June 18, 2021, 03:12:37 AM
Is this Coinbase Global Inc or NASDAQ that OP is referring to?  It is a good idea to invest in cryptocurrency because of its high ROI compared to the stock market.  But you should choose the right coin to buy like the top coins in the market cap because if you just buy random ones that go through the hype you might just go bankrupt.  You should also know the risk when investing in crypto due to the rapid change of its prices or volatility.  You should also know if your target is short-term or long-term.
Both had high risk but the stock market doesn't move fast unlike in crypto, high ROI, and can make a good return for just a few weeks or months, are the factors that many people are moving into crypto investment.

But understanding the risk in crypto investment, we should never have to underestimate this. yeah, every single mistake that we commit is a big loss to our side and seems to be regrettable. And there is one thing we need to minimize the possible losses and that is we need to focus of what we are doing and stick to our plan.

I would rather try the new one than the old one with a tarnished reputation.
I don't understand why the old sportsbooks still have no betting line for this fight, it will be in 2 days from now, it should be up by now.

Irving is still out in game 6.
https://www.netsdaily.com/2021/6/16/22537332/practice-notes-harden-active-and-irving-out-for-game-6

Harden and Durant are still playing, but let's hope Harden will improve his offense in game 6 so they can finish the series.
This is good for nets bettors as they are the underdog again, put a bet on ML, and enjoy a good winning.

It should not be a problem for the Nets, they won last game without Irving, so I believe they can do it again. Nets don't need a big 3 to beat the Bucks, with Durant's supreme basketball talent, he will be able to bring the team to a win as long as he gets some support from his teammates.

Bookies are wrong to list them as +5.5 points underdog.
3906  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you know when to sell? on: June 17, 2021, 10:12:07 AM
How to know when to sell is very similar to how to know when to buy.
You know when how to buy, you should also know when to sell.
Not necessarily. All theoretical approaches may not work piratically. I mean unless you are too good in technical analysis then you will never get any idea on buying and selling with the help of same approaches. This is the reason most traders are fixing their target levels at 10% or 20% from their buying prices. This may work but definitely lead to big regrets when they miss big rallies.

I don't after that much, I already satisfied with the 5-10% returns unless if I can see a huge potential on the market rally. It is very important to have TA's but even we are good at this, still can't guarantee that it works perfectly, we can't really have that due to its volatility.

Sometimes it needs luck and hoping to have a right placing of the sell order. Well, I do mine, and I sell when I think it is the perfect time to do it.
3907  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who is selling? on: June 17, 2021, 09:53:57 AM
It is unreality that altcoins are not tied to the price of BTC, let us assume if one day the price of altcoins have nothing to do with BTC, it may be the end of BTC and the end of the crypto market.
When bad news comes out, it's always causing panic, and people sell one by one natually and i think most of them are newbie.
It never comes for sure. The Altcoins movement is somewhat the response to Bitcoin's trend, it is unlikely to see that altcoins will have their own agenda and run in the other way but it goes along with the same direction.

Well, I do respect that news either fake or not, whether we like it or not, it has a huge market influence and this could never be changed.
If these people got affected and sell their coins? That is their choice, we don't need to stop otherwise, you will be the one to blame. Think that they are doing the things that they feel was right. If they were right or wrong, that is their problem, not ours.
3908  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: another bullrun before 2021 ends on: June 17, 2021, 04:52:39 AM
I personally believe that there will be another btc bull run and alt run before 2021 ends.  what you guys think about it?

What I think is that the market won't drop below $20k but I wasn't expecting that we will get back to ATH again this year. I may think it was enough to have those bullish days, it is long enough to enjoy and I see a lot of people benefiting.

I foresee another set of Bullrun 4-5 years from now after the next halving. That would have a huge influence on the market.

btc to 80000 or 120000 USD
Not impossible...it needs hypes like Elon in order to reach that price, otherwise, we just stuck below $50k.
3909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What features should a good altcoin project have? on: June 16, 2021, 11:42:08 PM
every new project always makes beautiful words for itself without thinking about the failure they didn't expect at all.
That's the way to attract investors, they offer as sweet as possible with some plans/strategies.
So, if we are an investor, it is necessary to learn it carefully whether realistic/applicable or not. Also, try to check the progress of their some programs if they already did it. Once we find something wrong with them, it is better to not join or ignore it. A good project must have a realistic plan, proper strategy, and applicable programs. I never join a project because of the sweet promises on their whitepaper, but join because of some realistic reasons.


A lot of investors get fooled by such a sweet offering. Anyone could become a victim of this if we easily just jump on the boat without doing research about the project. I am hoping to have a regulation prohibiting such a game and stop this so we can assure that we are safe and our money will never lose in the air for such a mistake that we never want.

At this moment, it finds hard to know which one is legit and which is not especially for new projects. In fact, some to find legit at first but it turns scam in the end.
3910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: June 16, 2021, 09:56:26 PM
Timothy Bradley say up some words about Pacquiao and Spence Fight.
https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/tim-bradley-reacts-to-crawford-losing-pacquiao-fight-to-spence/179181
https://www.boxingnews24.com/2021/06/pacquiao-sees-flaws-in-spences-game-says-tim-bradley/

Even though he choses up Spence as his boy but still he is rooting for Pacquiao on dominating the fight on giving out some
fast combinations.

Bradley is sometimes wrong, but like to listen to the opinion of the fighters who got beaten up by Pacman badly.

De la hoya sees a win for Manny here, and same with Margarito, I think they know and understand better so regardless of the record of Spence Jr., Manny would still be the favorites of these fighters who he fought before, and I Like that because Manny is an underdog in the betting line and yet many still believe he can beat Spence in this fight.
Read up some few lines on the link given by stomachgrowls and its mentioned by Bradley that spence would really be having a hard time on defeating Pacquiao
and also Manny wont really be picking up fighters that he do know that he doesn't have the chance on winning so its understandable that he's really into something.
When it comes to favorites then theres no doubt that Pacquiao would be the one but wont be surprised if there would be changes.

honestly, I like it that way, Manny being the underdog in the betting sites, would make the fans happy to take that odds and get a great return. IIRC, the odds were like +300 for Manny, so who would not take that if they believe Manny still has the speed and power.

The media just hyping up Spence but it was really Manny who is a proven warrior that faced different champions and the only one to win an 8th division championship, that alone should make him the favorite.
3911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 16, 2021, 09:39:50 PM
I'll bet for both teams playing at their respective homes.
Jazz vs Clippers - Jazz -5.5
76ers vs Hawks - 76ers -6.5
Also looking forward for both games to go over 220+ total points. Confidence should be high now that they are back home. If they lose this game, they might be no going back for another home game at Game 6. They should not allow this game to be snatched by a road team.
Cheers!

Agree, specially the Jazz vs Clippers, no Kawhi so this should be an easy route for the Utah team.

For the 76ers, they could steal the last game from the Hawks, they just blew it off in the third quarter because they miss so many shots, including in the free throw line. I expect. them to start strong in the first quarter and can hold on that lead.

Tailing both picks.

I love the 76ers to win, and I think the Jazz would also win the game.

Kawhi has been a major factor in the Clippers' offense and defense, without him, it will be easy for the Clippers to be predicted and the Jazz might come back strong winning like what the Clippers did in game 3. This series never ended a close game, except for game 1 of course, so we can expect the same story will be witnessed in the last 3 games but it will be the jazz winning today.
3912  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A book to read on when to sell (before a crash) on: June 16, 2021, 09:02:26 AM
After the book does not always understand the exact signals of the market besides reading books you have to analyze the market using your knowledge and skills it is easy to understand the updated information of the market and the signals of the trading signals by doing the market analysis yourself. Many times after the book these are not understood in addition to acquiring basic ideas from books you need to learn the techniques of the market by using your own intellect.
Most of them are obsolete already but it gives some learning as some of the old trading techniques still exist. But, we can't just rely on reading those books if we need to catch the new update and gambling upgrade as we are mostly engaged in online gambling the more we need to enhance our knowledge and the only it helps is to engage more on actual trading.

But if we are talking books to read that helps us to predict the market when it crashes, that absolutely has nothing to find. It gonna be our own analysis.
3913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Now is the best time to invest in Bitcoin on: June 16, 2021, 08:35:29 AM
As long as you invest your spare money, you can buy it anytime. Bitcoin is the perfect speculative product. Sooner or later, it will rise. It's just a matter of time. Since it is idle money, put some in the wallet and remember the private key.
Please don't get fool by buying "anytime" because it has an advantage when you bought at a cheaper price compared to buying at a high price. This a thing we need to consider before buying and even it was just spare money for you, you can't just simply put it at risk and lose it. Of course, our goal to earn money, not to lose them and that is why we should take the best opportunity, otherwise.
3914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: June 15, 2021, 09:33:18 PM
I don't know but we might see the same result of the Thurman vs Pacquiao fight.

Expecting this too because I'm now biased.

A good strategy is to just maintain gaining points each round. No need to Knockout Spence but if there's a chance why not.

Not like before that Manny is aiming always at KO if possible. He's more careful now as being aggressive is taking too heavy loads on his body.
At least Errol Spence Jr. is not as trash talker like Keith Thurman that almost going below the belt before the fight.

and cries after the fight lol.

He is also a trash talker, maybe not at par with Keith Thurman but they needed that in order to ensure that it will attract people's attention to watch the fight live and to buy their PPV subscription. It doesn't matter to us anyway, we just want to see an entertaining fight and we understand that "trash talking" is just part of the game.

We can check Spence tweeter to verify if he is trash talking or not, regardless, it's not new to the business, every time there's a big fight, trash-talking really helps to sell the fight, even Pacquiao understands it, so we also not have to be sensitive on it, just let them fight and prove their words, after all, they are professionals and they both make big money.
3915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 15, 2021, 09:11:16 PM
Well...well..well Who would have tought the Hawks had it in them to fight back. It will be the biggest upset if they can eliminate the Sixers.
They were down by a huge margin in the first half but they came back in the 2nd half, what a spirit the Hawks have.
Embiid seems to be having some minor injury, he was not 100% that game so they take that opportunity.

nice series already 2-2 now.

Clippers vs. Jazz developing into a battle of the home courts. I expect game 5 to be a close and heated game since it's pivotal.

...
I loved Morris' performance also. He made 5/6 3-pointers.
I'm glad someone mentioned him. It's easy to miss his performance since the focus are always on PG and Kahwi.

Morris is the key to the Game 4 win, it's expected that the 2-star duo will score but getting points from his teammates, that should really be appreciated, the consistency of Morris was there, he ain't missing.
3916  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin as safe as its believers say? on: June 15, 2021, 12:47:06 PM
Are you in a panic? what you hear is just news to influence the market price. This is FUD. If you are already in the crypto world what makes you not believe it? Or maybe you don't even understand how blockchain works? I often hear questions from people who don't understand crypto, even they say Bitcoin is a scam. Smiley
It can be a FUD or not but I'm still believing that Bitcoin is safe.
We can force people to trust Bitcoin, it was their choice not to do it even we show some proof to them. Their mindset is negative and we have nothing to do with them until such a time that they will change their mind. I tend not to argue with them coz that only causes misunderstanding.

But FUD could never win against us. We know crypto and these people talking negatively, they are the Fudders and they will continue doing it no matter what it takes.
3917  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What Practical Advice For A Beginner Trader? on: June 15, 2021, 12:19:42 PM
Don't be afraid to take risks and importantly, don't afraid to lose. Nothing will happen if you live with doubts and not able to learn.

*being committed to your dreams/goal
*willing to listen to advice
*willing to change their behavior.

There are a lot of challenges as a beginner and it is a need for us to win. Lastly, have a POSITIVE mindset.
3918  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should i believe a person who said"my trust wallet get hacked" ? on: June 15, 2021, 05:56:18 AM
If nobody knows your private keys/seeds phrase, no possibility that your wallet will get hacked provided that you never put them online or at your computer. Some say that their funds got lost on the exchanges, this is possible when visited fake/scam sites, many are already a victim to this. And one way to avoid this is to check the legitimacy of the site and their feedback as well.

Additionally, don't trust other people asking for your keys and seeds. Exchanges don't ask that even there is a problem with your account.

3919  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Meme coins have no use case on: June 14, 2021, 11:25:20 PM
Recently, we saw so many people buying Meme coins, hoping for a new Doge. At first, some profits could be made but it didn't last long.


You could be right mate...We can't really trust meme coins but we can't also underestimate them knowing that some of them just pump. But talking about investment deals, this gonna be a short-term deal only. It wasn't reliable enough to hold them for long as the risk is too high knowing the possibility that they might turn into scam coins. If that will be the case, I'd rather have to choice Bitcoin or the top leading altcoins for this.

I heard that stake.com has a live streaming feature but I have never used it yet.

I just tried it now, and it's good because it's free.
Been consistently watching the NBA playoffs, I just subscribe to the NBA league pass not knowing it's available in stakes.

By the way, can we get a full screen on the stream?
