3921  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Much of the NFTs in the cryptospace will die on: November 09, 2021, 07:20:32 AM
When ICO's are the thing last 2017, there are so many projects emerging. Many of them ended up as a scam. Many of them ended up as a dead coin or abandoned coin for some reasons like lack of community.
There is also a time where DeFi's are a hype. There are many new projects emerging but this hype didn't last long like in ICO and right now in NFT's. Same thing. Many ended up a rug pull. Many ended a dead project.

Same will happen to NFT and it will be the same if there will be a new hype that will come in the cryptospace. NFT hype is starting to decrease already. Whether it is an NFT art or NFT that is coming from different games that are becoming popular right now, most of them will die. It's only a matter of time before this will happen.
3922  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin makes new ATH. More ATHs to come shortly. on: November 09, 2021, 07:02:23 AM
It's just around 20 days ago when Bitcoin reached its previous ATH which was $66,974.77. Just an hour ago, that ATH is already a piece of history as Bitcoin once again registered a new ATH. This time, the new ATH is $67,772.67.

Who else have the feeling that this very recent ATH will not be there for long?

$100,000 is now in clear sight. S2F might prove to be right once again.
By the time I'm posting this, the ATH that is on Coingecko is at $68,641.57.

If you will observe the movement of Bitcoin in the last 14 days, there is a time where Bitcoin will rise up but it will make a short correction immediately after and this is what's happening right now. Just after Bitcoin reached the $66,000 price few days ago, it made a short correction before it went up again and reach a new ATH. Right now it dipped a little bit.

If you will follow the S2F model, many are expecting that Bitcoin will reach at least $100,000 by the end of 2021. If you will see the probabilities that this will happen, I think there is a low chance that this will be reached but we still have 8 weeks this year and we might see new ATH after new ATH. Well, in the long run many are expecting that Bitcoin is going upwards so just accumulate Cheesy.

Some SMB fans in social media think Vic Manuel added a boost to their firepower. Maybe I will agree to them if he's still in his prime. Don't get overhyped on that trade. Since Governors Cup is coming, Vic Manuel might end up as a bench player. The reason is because of his position. He is mostly used as Power Forward but since there's an import next conference, rotations will be modified. I don't see him playing alongside Fajardo as SMB is always putting 3 guards.

However, he will be the best backup and support as in PBA, having a big man is an advantage.
I agree with this part thought I admit that I got a bit hype because of the trade and I thought Cheesy. Manuel is considered as a undersized big consider his position that he usually is playing so I think that in the end, he will be like Perez that will start as a bench player but they will give minutes to him still. With the part where him and Fajardo will not play together, we saw Fajardo and Tautuaa played together against TNT so for me there might be a time that these 2 might play together.


This is the unfortunate part of being in an SMC team. No matter how you contribute to the team, they will trade you even you are on a brink of a few conferences to play in the PBA. It happened also to James Yap.

That is not business since there's no big money involved. SMC teams just want to keep things competitive and they need a big man as TNT Katropa puts up a challenge to them last playoffs.
Arwind is 40 years old already and they don't want that he will retire without any exchanges. Maybe that is the reason why they traded him.
Even Coach Austria admitted on one of the interviews that the so-called "Death 5" is aging already thus, they will make moves in the future whatever happens. This is one of the moves that he is saying. TNT is a strong team with a great coach and with how they've performed last Filipino Cup, I bet that they are still one of the picks in winning the championship coming this Governor's Cup.
3924  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Be careful with the hype on: November 08, 2021, 12:18:03 PM
Thanks for the advice still but lets face it. Crypto scams have been there since it boomed.
There will be investors who will fall into different hypes and scams out there for some reasons.

Investors still want to invest into something maybe because of greed of because of the fact that they can get huge money if they put their money on that specific project.

On the other hand though, there is still some good things that hype can bring to the investors. Because of hype, there are many investors who lose their money yes but still there are some investors who got huge money because of hype. They entered at the right time and exited at the right time. In general, just be careful in hypes and always hope for the worst Cheesy so that you will not feel that much regret if it will end up losing your money.
3925  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Binance Coin (BNB) reach $1K? on: November 08, 2021, 10:37:47 AM
Binance Coin (BNB) is the most popular coin currently in the crypto space. Binance has a network, namely the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), which is the most widely used by companies for their projects because of the relatively low cost. In addition, Binance also has an Exchange with a large number of transactions every day. October 2021, seems to be a very good month for Binance because of the pretty good price movement. Now that BNB is at $526, will BNB reach $1K?
1. Most popular crypto exchange so far.
2. Binance Smart Chain and developers using BSC rather than ERC because of the low gas fees.
3. Supply Burning.

Just seeing these 3 factors, I believe that BNB will reach a thousand dollars. Its just only a matter of when it will happen. With the supply burning, the Binance team will burn the half of the supply of their token which is around 100M tokens. This is a huge thing because the lower the supply and the higher the demand, the price of it will increase. Binance is performing well this past few days and it is at its ATH I think or near. BNB is a good token and a good long term coin to invest,
3926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 08, 2021, 10:26:54 AM
Looks like the GSW will go for the best record in the NBA this season as they leading the game today against the Houston Rockets. This is how they should be when their star players are healthy and still they're lack of Klay Thompson won't hinder them to be the best in the league today.


Back in the years where they are still dominating the league, they are a very dangerous team because of the fact their 3rd quarter explosions.
There is a time where the Warriors are very dangerous when the 3rd quarter comes because that is the time where they will shoot threes or score more.

Now we are seeing it again. If you will see the 3rd quarter scoring of Warriors in their last 5 games, they outscored 4 of their opponents thus getting a huge lead coming into the 4th quarter and winning the game. The only game where they lost in 3rd quarter is against the Grizzlies where they ended up losing the game.

When the 3rd quarter comes, watch out for the Warriors because they will explode. They will shoot threes, outscored their opponent. That is one of the reasons why they are winning and other teams must do something.
3927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: November 08, 2021, 05:53:51 AM
Who expected this to happen? Arwind Santos going to NorthPort for Vic Manuel.
I just saw this on Snow Badua's Facebook Page and it seems that it is credible and true since it came from spin.ph

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/pba-approves-arwind-santos-vic-manuel-trade-a793-20211108?ref=home_featured_big

After how many years in SMB and many championships that he got with the team, the SMB management decides to start getting new players and decided to broke their deadly starting 5. Well, there are some rumors already saying that Manuel will go to a SMC team and there are some saying that it will be Magnolia but I didn't really expect that he will end up in SMB. Now the SMB are stronger since we know that Manuel is really a strong player. He isn't called "Muscle Man" for nothing. The inside pressure of SMB is now stronger with him. Just imagine Manuel and Fajardo inside the court with their point guards like Perez, Romeo, Lassiter.

TBH after their performance last Filipino Cup, I already expect that some players from SMB will be traded to other teams because they are going old already and we all knew it. I just didn't expect that they will trade Arwind Santos. What's your takeaway with this? Smiley

I didn't expect that there will be another ex-NBA player that will follow the steps of Nate Robinson in the boxing ring Cheesy. Just kidding.

If that's the case then good luck for him and I just hope that he will not end up the same as Nate. Well, both of them are players from different sport so seeing 2 first time boxers box in an exhibition match is kinda exciting I think. After all, both of them will be paid after the fight so... yeah maybe lets just enjoy the matches Cheesy.
3929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What’s the fastest way to grow wealth in our present world of digital currency? on: November 06, 2021, 02:05:56 PM
Altcoins and NFTs, without a shred of doubt.

We have entered the age of digital transformation and the digital economy.
Boomers were able to get rich by simply buying a house in the 80s and sprinkling their savings across low risk stocks, which netted them a 45x.

Now, crypto was the chance for us get rich with a 100x in Bitcoin since 2015 at $500, another 100x for those who invested last year and probably another 50x for those who invested this month.
Everything is digital now.

Don’t get left behind.
Well if we will just consider the quickness of growing wealth, NFT and altcoins are probably the fastest ones in the crypto world that can give you wealth.

On the other hand though, lets not forget that they are the fastest ones too to lose your money. We've seen numerous altcoin projects that ended up as a scam and the same as NFT's. Just a few days ago we saw Squid Game Token ended up as a rugpull. Many of these will be done in the future Smiley.

Overall, investing in Altcoins and NFT's are a good investment. Just always do your research always and only invest what you can afford to lose.
3930  Economy / Economics / Re: What's the best advice? on: November 06, 2021, 01:35:59 PM
With the way crypto world is going now and everything is techy futuristic what advice would you give your children when growing up?

Gaming as we know it can now give you monthly payments and as a parent would you allow your kids to get into this just for the money making? To be honest kids are more good at gaming
Advice?? Hmmmmm maybe let them know how to use computer at their early age.
Right now, if you aren't techy and you don't know how to use computer you're kinda lagging with how things are working right now.

I agree that everything is going digital already from payments to information. Those who don't know how to use computers are the ones who are suffering a little bit because they don't know how to pay online or they don't know how to search online or anything that is related with computers. I like my children to use computers at their early ages but of course, there are some limitations to it like the number of hours they will use the internet and what websites they will go. We are in an era where digital is at its peak and if you don't know how to use it? You will be behind at some aspects.

Conservative Gamblers
                    There is a certain group of people who wish to try everything. Conservative gamblers fall under this, because these gamblers want to try and experience what is in it. Here some turn to be problematic gamblers and gets addicted.
I reread the whole thread and it seems that this is what I am Smiley.
A conservative gambler and luckily didn't turned out to be a problematic gambler and got addicted.

I knew from the start already that gambling can be addictive and can lead into serious things or worst, you can do bad things to other people and to yourself. I'm just curious into what other gamblers are feeling whenever they are betting so I tried it and bet only a few bucks. I'm lucky maybe that I didn't get addicted into gambling and I managed to stop it immediately.
3932  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Making money while gaming on: November 06, 2021, 10:25:36 AM
Right now, there are many ways to earn money while playing games.
Examples are joining in the pro scene which is we know a hard journey, live streaming is also one and this is easier than the first but it will take time.

Nobody expected that P2E games will emerge and right now it is the trend. The hype that has been there for quite some time already although the hype decreased, there are still new blockchain P2E games that are being created. Maybe we played Axie Infinity here or Splinterlands or MyDefi Pet here and because of this NFT games, I literally quitted all the games that I'm playing that isn't NFT related. I like to be efficient while having fun that is why I'm more focusing on NFT games right now. Its a good thing that companies like Ubisoft and EA are considering to enter the NFT game space.
3933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 06, 2021, 10:05:19 AM
The GSW become good again and Klay wasn't even playing yet. It seems like they'll gonna reclaim their spot in the playoffs judging on their performance early this season.
They don't even have a legit big man.

By the way, did you guys appreciate how the NBA has been changing the rules. James Harden just literally hooked Jackson's arm and was called for an offensive foul.
This is the main reason why I'm not like other fans out there who turn out to be bandwagons.
There are some out there who choose Miami because LeBron is there but when he went to Lakers, they choose Lakers to be their pick. Typical Bandwagons

For me, I know from the time that they are tanking that they will comeback a few years from now. They just need to get some draft picks, a good trade and a healthy Steph and Klay and that is what is happening right now. They are redeeming themselves and want to get the championship again. With regards to big man, I think we can consider Looney as one of them. He isn't as strong and popular like others out there but still he is contributing to the team at the inside. Its just that we are only thinking of their outside shooting than everything.

Well, it looks like Harden was one of the players who got hit by the new rules of the NBA. He is disappointed to the point that he just literally gave 2 points to the opponent when he loses the ball. See this VIDEO.
3934  Economy / Economics / Re: How is financial stability defined for you? on: November 05, 2021, 01:43:16 PM
When you have enough skills and knowledge enough for you to have some income that will cover your expenses as well as savings and some investments as well. I think if you have this then you can consider yourself as "financially stable" already.

I think another definition that I can say is when money isn't your problem anymore. I mean if you're not having a problem financially then you can consider yourself as a financially stable. Well, different people have different perspective regarding this but I think there is one similarity in our opinions. That if you have enough money then you can be stable.

Right now, both DOGE and SHIB didn't make a price increase but as this rumor or news will be spread in the next days there is a possibility that one of these two coins or both of them will pump short term.

Fresh news guys.

Phoenix set to trade Vic Manuel to NorthPort for Sean Anthony
Quote
IC Manuel’s stint with Phoenix may prove a short one.

The veteran big man is on the move again and headed to NorthPort in a trade for former Defensive Player of the Year Sean Anthony, sources said.

The PBA Commissioner’s Office, sources added, has received the papers for the deal that also includes young wingman Michael Calisaan, a free agent signed to a one-year deal by the Fuel Masters during the offseason.

Manuel on a new team, I guess this one is good for the benefit of both teams. We saw how the Phoenix struggle where Manuel and Perkins production have dropped. It could possibly be because they can't play fast when two bigs are playing together, so I guess it's the right decision for the trade as Manuel would certainly be a huge help for the NP who has improved a lot last conference.
Anthony is used to be the captain of the NorthPort team so trading him is kinda surprising at least for me but... well we've seen unimaginable trades in the past right Cheesy. If you know what I mean.

Anyway, the inside defense of NorthPort is stronger now with Manuel plus add Slaughter. One thing more is that Manuel will have more chances to shoot at the perimeter because they have Slaughter to get those offensive rebounds in case he misses. For me, the NorthPort won this trade. The team has a good amount of guards and at the same time, a good amount of players who can defend the paint. Bollick, Ferrer, Malonzo, Manuel, Slaughter. This starting 5 of them is strong already. Lets see how the team will play a few weeks from now still Smiley.
3937  Economy / Speculation / Re: JP Morgan: bitcoin could hit $146,000 on: November 05, 2021, 10:25:55 AM
I want an analyst will say that instead of saying "could" or "if", they will say the word "will" with their prediction.
I doubt if anybody will do it.

Either way, that price is reachable but not in a short amount of time. Maybe it will take at least a year or more for that price to be reached. Well, another prediction/speculation coming from a "credible" analyst. Expect more in the future as prices of Bitcoin is at the top.
3938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 05, 2021, 10:15:59 AM
The Lakers with another embarrassing loss tonight. OKC is tanking and they managed to beat them… Seeing the Lakers struggle against the worst teams in the league like this is a pretty bad sign. I’m not seeing any real improvement. I don’t understand why Dwight Howard is only getting a couple minutes a game either. It seems like they aren’t very concerned with winning at the moment.
Seeing them losing and choking once into a team which we know are tanking is understandable.
But seeing them losing twice?? The Lakers team is a "one of a kind" team.

They have a huge lead in their last 2 games but the Thunder managed to fight back and win. SGA is one of the reason why they are winning against them and that logo 3 made by him? That's how confident he is in himself. He improved after he went to Thunder because he got more minutes there than him being in the Clippers where he is just a bench. I'm curious what LeBron said to his team after choking twice to a tanking team like OKC Cheesy. Very disappointing.
3939  Economy / Economics / Re: 6 billion to solve world hunger? on: November 04, 2021, 01:26:42 PM
Did many saw this tweet coming from Elon Musk himself??
https://twitter.com/jjohnson_says/status/1455164965027975171/photo/1

He said to that if WFP can describe and can publicly share the distribution of how the fund will be spent then he will immediately sell his Tesla Stock to fulfill what they've said.

With the articles that I read, the WFP chief said

$6B will not solve world hunger, but it WILL prevent geopolitical instability, mass migration and save 42 million people on the brink of starvation. An unprecedented crisis and a perfect storm due to Covid/conflict/climate crises.

I do hope that it happens, at least, millions of people would be saved and I hope it can be maintained with the efforts of the program. I hope they would be transparent with everyone like an open ledger type thing like in cryptocurrencies.
Well, they seconded what they've said because what they said was wrong and impossible. Expected Cheesy.

Anyway, $6B will help at least some people to at least have some food for some days. Give kids education to work. Give kids chance to work and learn something. That might help the world hunger because there are countries who are staying poor because of lack of education. Food isn't enough for these to solve their starvation. What they need is knowledge. Knowledge that will help them. Spend some money to share some knowledge and that might help them. Well, I agree though that this $6B will save some people from starvation.

I saw the video of Klay shooting and he still has that stroke.

I feel like he will be able to come back earlier than expected, it was reported that he might be able to come back by December this year but seems like he looks healthy already and he has that lift already. I know the medical team of the GSW won't give a clearance if he is not fully fit to play, so if he comes back soon, let's hope that he will be healthy throughout the season.
What will other teams will do if they will see GSW that has a healthy Klay Thompson and a healthy James Wiseman?
You got Curry and Thompson as their three-point leaders and most of them are shooting threes and are very good too. Lee, Porter, Bjelica, Poole, Wiggins, Anderson and even Green is shooting as well. At the same time, they have a good paint defender. Bjelica, Wiseman, Looney.

The Warriors will go to at least WCF as long as the injuries will not spoil their journey. They are now 6-1 and Thompson isn't playing right now. What if he comes back. I'm so excited with his comeback and knowing that his stroke is still there and we've seen some videos of him practicing, I'm pretty sure that he is excited to play as well after not playing for 2 straight years.
