pump and dump will always have it's effect if not careful you can easily get burnt, crypto is a risky investment in general and new projects are even more riskier, the tendency of losing money is very high compare to an investment on already existing projects with track records, better to apply caution while investing in new project.

Correct. It's indeed more risky investing to new projects, though most of the investors are willing to take it in hope that
they will be able to make a good outcome once they've place their entry in the right place and time.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong but more research is needed and do not get carried away by the Hype for a moment and nothing can guarantee that project successful or will fail at any time. invest assets in a place that you believe is the safest and most profitable.


Yeah. More research to make sure you have some chances with the blow out, riding is beneficial when you know when to
make things favorable to your position.

Xrp is my main Long term hold along with Ethereum .
Almost 20% dump ! Xrp needs a bit of patience IMO breakout coming. According to IMF and World bank , XRP
be the bridge to the Global Reserve Currency.

I still think xrp will only do well in future because the xrp community but if this DeFi thing work out for them it might give them a needed life for sure . Share your opinions Guys

 I don't think we will see much scope for price increase in ripple because the market cap is too high and it's too centralised for my liking. But yes it's kind of a safe investment for now and relatively hasuch less volatility.

I can say that it can be less volatility since the value is was already down from the last time ATH.

But for sure there are many things that can possibly happened along the way, chances that big whales who are also into
this coin made create good pumped and bring the value to rise, we never know only risk takers can hold it and wait for
long term success.

We usually bet on it.

We don't care what other people say at that time but when we do those matches, there are a lot of people surrounding us and when the spiders are unto it, the crowd are shouting. We even received  some punishment by cleaning because of the loudness of the matches. We bet on it but we didn't acutally got in trouble by betting on it but because of how we enjoy the match.

We bet in terms of those efforts or some times there's also prize when someone ask us to fight with their spider.
I uses to remember those early morning haunts, looking for trees that may be possible for spiders to build their house. Doing this
with cousins or friends really adds up the fun, plus those small amount of bets since from that time it's really not all for the money
but for the pride and the time that we spent chasing those spiders.
Sharing memories! but back to the topic it's annoying seeing this people wo deal with this in this time of pandemic.

Lakers always start the series with a bad game.
What do you guys think?

Just kidding. I am betting for the Nuggets here without handicaps.
I just want to consider some things with O and U. It might become a low scoring game too if defense will be suffocating.
210.5 is kind of low though.
I bet they will put Danny Green on Jamal Murray to stop his offensive explosiveness.

Okay. Denver and Over 210.5 @6.40

That's the trend for the Lakers, giving up there first game  Smiley.

I'm betting for the Nuggets ML because the odds is too tempting considering the Nuggets have beaten a championship caliber team and their morale must be skyrocketing at the moment but i just stayed away from the under/over for this first game. IMO, Morris is a better stopper than Danny Green so let's expect Jamal Murray's offensive output to be better here that the previous series so over 210.5 is not bad at all.



Final Quarter and Lakers are leading double digits, I guess, Jokic and Murray can't handled the Big man and the pressure defense of Lakers, they are really doing a well match up for this two stars, while Rondo doing what he's really best in.
I'm seeing the old Boston Rondo, Garnet / Davis, Pierce/Lebron , Kuzma / Allen. Hahaha..

Not done Though..

Miami won yesterday. 2-0 vs. Celtics

Who's watching the game of Lakers and Nuggets? the game's still in Q2 and the Lakers is leading the game.

Lkers leading but it'  just reminding me from how Nuggets comeback and beats the Clips.

Lets wait till the final buzzer, Jokic and Murray needs some extra lift from their teammates, like how the Lakers are is playing
as a team, Rondo really plays well finding the open no need for LeBron and Davis to force to the basket.
Still too early but so far Lakers seems dominating the game.
It's on the half time now. Lakers is leading 11 points. Still attainable to be reached and led by Nuggets.

Two more quarters to go.

We will see at the end of this series if Nuggets will do the same as they did with Clippers. But I'm expecting that this series isn't going to be like that.

Final quarter now and Lakers still dominating, leading by 24 points, let see how nuggets will try to push the last run
or they will rest Jokic and Murray then comeback strong in game 2.
Anything can happen as we already witness lots of alike situations before the WCF finals. Keep watching till the last
buzzer.

It is a great idea it is like saving in a piggy bank for a kid but for us adult it is a great investment we could also teach this kind of things to kids nowadays.
This could really help them in the future I would try this or do it on other crypto as well save small money in crypto and hold it till you need it,
Instead of wasting my money on vices why not put it in crypto it would help me and my family in the long run.

Yeah right. By doing this you'll be able to save a lot in the future, who knows what future may bring to bitcoin, maybe while you are saving the value after several years of holding might be doubled or more.
Teaching also your kids to do the same will open their mind into this industry, they are the future generations who will benefits a lot
to this market.

3948  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you sure crypto is the future currency? on: September 18, 2020, 11:48:22 PM
I think is going to be part of the future market The market will definitely need some maturity and regulation maybe through some decentralized system but crypto is still a market worth crazy fomo and fuds

It's already in the cycle, bitcoin and some other known alts already exist from the market, it's been used by businesses and aside from being treated as valuable assets there are now people who realized the benefits of using it transacting between borders.
In the future to come bitcoin may be used for everyday transactions, looking forward to see paying crypto while doing your groceries.

Nuggets vs Lakers game 1. betting odds : Lakers -7 against the Nuggets. What team will win in this game, I am not betting yet, I'm looking forward for your opinion, so please do post so I have something to follow.

Very hard to choose both teams are unpredictable, once they've got the rhythm for sure they'll going to take the advantage.

I'll wait and try to chase it up during live bets, That handicap adds difficulty to balance a pick.
after seeing how good the Denver was, but also considering the Lakers when they have solid
night.
3950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting: how much knowledge is too much on: September 18, 2020, 01:20:27 PM
shits happened and frustrates you up.
Frustrations is always been part of the game yet we know that results or outcomes aren't guaranteed that's why when there are games that we are quite sure that we do win but there are instances
that things do changes up in result to sudden lose instead and that really sucks but its part of the game.
frustration doesnt come out in the game but we people are creating it . there are people that can control them self and no frustrations coming out from them . at the end of the day , what your playing is gambling so dont act like you do know everything because expectation can lead to frustruations .

  i dont like when i loose and become frustrated at the same time , thats why i try to be chill when gambling and i already expect the unexpected if ever it comes .

Better to anticipate as there's always bad night and since you are inside gambling then you need
to take it into account that it will  happened.
Give yourself a break instead of attempting to keep trying your luck,
forget the day and try to comeback strong the next
following.
3951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is Addictive...Pay Attention to your Gambling Habit!!! on: September 18, 2020, 11:46:47 AM
Gambling shouldn't be considered a habit because you are already considering gambling as an income instead of past time activity. By that, you can have a mental illness and desperation in gambling until you get bankrupt.

Common problem with addicted gamblers, instead of limiting they keep pushing and trying to win from time to time but the reality,
They just keep losing their money

It is why I always limit myself from gambling and consider it a leisure time or entertainment because I don't want to see myself being pathetic or look pity.

You need to have strong control with your emotions, it's easy to say than doing it in an actual scenario.
Most of the time losing control is your worse nemesis when playing the game.
3952  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What we can expect the price of eth at the end of 2020? on: September 17, 2020, 12:38:45 PM
I'm expecting to hit $1000 but it looks like it's only hitting $800 by the end of this year. many also say like this rofl, ETH is very strong I think
$1000 is actually too much although it has reached during the ATH. $800, we're halfway on it and that's likely. Looking at how deep Ethereum plummeted for a couple of years.
We have the chance to see it hit $800 very soon. What you will do with your holdings? sell or put it on stake once it's ready?

It's good to buy for now and wait what will happened, the idea of staking is really good  can be a passive income.

The current value is still far from what you are predicting, though anything can happened as we are inside
cryptosphere and anything can happened once influence coming from investors will take place.
3953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do scams harm Bitcoin's reputation in the mainstream world? on: September 17, 2020, 12:20:52 PM
Technically it is damaging, because whatever the form of crime if they use bitcoin as a tool to remove traces then bitcoin and cryptocurrency will get a bad impact from the crime.

It will reflect indeed. As those who made the news always highlighted bitcoin to attract more readers attentions.


Anonymity is sometimes seen as a bad thing, bitcoin has that feature so people wonder "isn't that a bad thing too?".

Precisely. They think that because of that it covers everything around bitcoin and it's market.

There are many other things technically that are indeed acts of scam or other crimes that have a considerable impact.

Media always make it worse so impacts especially to those who are not really into this industry, they have that negative mentalities.
3954  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The new drama has started in Altcoin on: September 17, 2020, 11:29:03 AM
Portfolio diversification, if you are not a trader but an investor, it is advisable to have both Bitcoin and altcoins and stable coins in your portfolio, then you will be ready.

It's best to have both if you have good amount of spare money.

Diversification is very important in order for you to rinse whatever trend is approaching,  both bitcoin and alts always find it's own time to move upward. if you have good amount  of invested money, you just need to wait which is which that will move favoring your assets
then wait for the rest to move as well.
3955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Card counting in black jack on: September 17, 2020, 11:16:23 AM
its cool that this strat was so popular and it ended up with its own movie . no casino owner will not recognized that so prolly they already came up with strat to make this counting strat impossible to work . on the past when the counting strat isnt yet popular , gamblers that knows it are lucky because they probably win alot that time .

 it is still possible to win today but the game now would only be depend mostly by luck and not by skill

   Popularity of this strategy made casino owners to add more decks, it's the way they fight against card-counters. With more decks
chances for a card-counter to be accurate in his predictions are minimal, under zero probably. Nothing last forever, gambling
strategies are good for some time, but that suits casinos, people spend a lot of money in searching for perfect strategy!

That's right, Logically house will not allow that to happened. It's a business so for sure adjustment will be done to make
sure that the business won't suffer if such strategy exist.
Casino always find ways to make sure that the gambler will not easily find  anything that will bring them advantages.
Most of the time, casino allow those gamblers to believe that they can beat the house only to find out in the end that
house played well with emotions and leave gamblers empty handed in the end.
3956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting: how much knowledge is too much on: September 17, 2020, 05:03:16 AM
Knowledge is somewhat an advantage to choose whos probably win but I don't think there is a method to help increase our chances to win. Because for me, I usually considered the odds especially when both players or teams are good, and I notice that the result is just 50/50.

In sports betting, not all of these things will help you out from losing, it surely it got you sometimes. You might win today and you might also lose in the next bet. We all not be a lucky person all the time.

Not every time but with knowledge you are giving yourself a much better chance.

Choosing the games and the players or teams are much easier if you have a good knowledge with the games that you
are participating, you are also giving yourself much lesser worries unless shits happened and frustrates you up.
3957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My experience is gambling on: September 17, 2020, 03:10:57 AM


I know that there are a lot of people who have gone through the same fate as me in gambling and are even sadder. Tell me that if its gambling for money then you will only regret it in the end but if you make it a way to get pleasure then you can control your desires and your money over it.

Majority of people one time or another thinks that they can make money from gambling after winning a lot when they are starting to gamble and they think that they can learned a lot and make a lot, they ignore that there is such a thing as beginner's luck, and that's what things real hard when reality sets in that they cannot be lucky all the time.

That reality will become a nightmares once everything has been realized.

Gamblers only see the bad sides when they already have too much engagement to this activities, they'll lose control
and forget about limitations, losing streak after losing streak they'll lose everything and the only thing lefts are those
regrets that keeps showing up from time to time.
3958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: September 17, 2020, 02:56:56 AM
That was a ridiculous play, damn! I for a second thought they called a foul.

I also thought it was a foul but then when there's a replay, It clear that it's all ball.

Damn Bam, this guy is everywhere, I wish he will win a DPOY award, he is just 6'9" but can even stop a player taller than him, that's what he did to Giannis. What can we expect in game 2? Celtics are leading early just like what they are doing with the Raptors series but they don't have a good finish.

It's annoying to see them lose after leading double digits before the final quarter, that last possession of Tatum it's very crucial
 if he converts that there's should be no overtime., but Miami really have a good defensive mindsets, everyone is moving and there's no easy shots once they started the chased.

Bam and Butler leading the team but the success comes from those cast who really played well alongside with them.
3959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 17, 2020, 02:47:03 AM

 I feel like Doc really has to have some parts in this. I know that Kawhi and PG13 played horribly, like seriously legendary bad so the biggest blame goes to them without a doubt at all, but I can't believe people do not see a single trouble with Doc Rivers at all. I understand that people may feel like he didn't do anything wrong on the game 7 but the fact that he didn't built a whole strategy out of having Kawhi and PG13 and the team he has was something not really ideal. If he really wants to utilize those players as much as he can, he has to built a strategy and with that strategy he has to try to utilize everything he has, but he just moved more like "you guys are great, go play great and you will win" and nothing more honestly. Managing playing time %100 great but that wasn't enough.

Blaming the coach is not what usually the fans do, don't worry, the management will take care of Doc if they think he is not bringing success to the team, you know, we would just be surprise or not that the management has fired him already. Kawhi ask PG to join with him in L.A. so it's good to expect that Leonard trusted PG's capacity to bring success to the team.

Meanwhile, we can also look at some bad personal relation between Doc and PG, we know their history that PG has cheated on Doc's daughter which is now the wife of Seth Curry, so I think this is also one factor to consider, and maybe you guys will say, "hey! they are professionals"... well, maybe but things like this is hard to forget that's why I'm seeing that the chemistry of Denver is what beats the LA Clippers.

I like that last word, the chemistry of Denver where they are all trust each others and keep finding who's the open one unlike Clippers where most of the time, it's Kawhai,George and Williams who have the ball and attempts to bring the basket.
In terms of Coaching staff you are correct managements will take of that,
if Doc is not effective to bring the blends out from this selected stars he will be replaced.
Let's all wait with the updates from this team.
3960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 16, 2020, 08:13:39 AM
I want Clippers to win but also there's the force that's pushing me want to see Nuggets win.
All right, the game's done. Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets for winning their series. No LA vs LA this time.

Their next matchup is with Lakers and this won't be a question anymore, the majority will be eyeing for the Lakers.



Denver shines again in the second half, Murray and Jokic step up with their teammates whp supported them all the way.

It's another 3-1 comeback from  them, very interesting to see if how they will face the favorite Lakers, Underdog type of challenge
once again for them. Congrats to Denver welcome to WCF finals.
