Junemar is 31 years old as of this moment so provably he will be out of his prime when he face Kai in PBA once he choose to join in PBA but for sure there's a big difference between them since in experience for sure KAI will skills will prevail since he have lot of experience overseas with strong opponents compare to Fajardo. Even if Fajardo will be on his prime for sure he will shake his head once he face a young and skilled Kai in the court.

If ever that KAI choose to play locally match up between him and JMF is no longer that exciting, as mentioned JMF is no longer on its prime plus those injuries that he already have while KAI attends special practices and more advanced trainings abroad. Though the chance still slim since KAI really aiming to play to NBA and be the first pure blood pinoy to represent our country.
It's a big achievement for our fellow kabayan, he had the height and the skills all he needs for now is more exposures so media will hype his way to the NBA.

For the injury got by Junemar recently for sure there are changes for his game and provably he will not the same as before when he performs well compare to the past years but we cannot really compare since Kai and Junemar have different generation so for sure, there will be no competition among them. If we talk about skills for sure Kai is more advance since as you said he is advance since he plays and trained well in the US.

~snip~...

I'm ready to face criticism if ever I'm wrong with my thought Cheesy.

Giving you merit to assure you that i'm with you in this lol and btw no one is wrong or right as we are only giving out our opinion here.

Kai Sotto reminds me of Japeth Aguilar, tall and athletic and i think he trained in the US too (not sure on this one) and so much hype on him back then but he did not dominate and not a single MVP award for him. He even can't stop Fajardo in the low post. If Kai wants to withstand the banging down low, he need to add muscle which could affect his mobility and he may become a taller version of Greg Slaughter  Grin. The training he had now is more on Euro type, tall that can shoot beyond the arc but let us remember what Lakay have told Abai that in the PBA, money is in the low post.


I think it's hard to compare both as they would not face in the PBA, Kia Sotto is still young and maybe by the moment Kai would play in the PBA if he would fail in the NBA, maybe Fajardo will not be in his prime anymore or maybe he'd be retired that time.

There's also other ways to decide which is better between the two, and that is by their achievement, Fajardo have already won multiple MVPs and Kail has to also prove by achieving the same, but if Kai would make it to the NBA, end of discussion, he definitely is better than Fajardo and all the big man in the PBA, past and present.

Junemar is 31 years old as of this moment so provably he will be out of his prime when he face Kai in PBA once he choose to join in PBA but for sure there's a big difference between them since in experience for sure KAI will skills will prevail since he have lot of experience overseas with strong opponents compare to Fajardo. Even if Fajardo will be on his prime for sure he will shake his head once he face a young and skilled Kai in the court.

Here is the complete topic; Phishing Uniswap and bestchnage.com (idex)

I will suggest "Bestchange" authority to notify their current user about this phishing activity.   
Thank you TalkStar for pointing this out here.
I would also suggest BestChange team to notify users about this and even create a list of the fake links or an additional option in the website to report those links because not everybody is a bitcointalk user to be able to report here.

I have already report the fake links using https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_general/ and i invite others to do so.


Indeed it's because there are guys already creating this act for sure there  are newbies will fall for this thing out of confusion, so best  best exchange will put a notification regarding on what is the correct url to browse if they are trying to reach up for this site.

Not everybody is aware of phising since there are still newbie falls especially if they put a giveaway in the content.

Yes, there is definitely a trend where some people deposit a large amount of coin and then they wait for the 4%+ interest every day to gamble with the sites money and not their own.

Huh? The 4% interest is actually annually. Once a year  Smiley

If you have enough bitcoins to deposit on Freebitco.in, you can gamble for FREE on the daily interest.  Wink

For 1 btc deposit onto the site, you are getting around 0.011% daily so around 11,000 satoshi interest daily. So is this a good amount daily to gamble for FREE ? Depends.

If you are a small time gambler, this should be sufficient for quench your thirst to roll some dust bet but if you own 1 btc or even larger amount then this might not be as good as it sounds .

Bottom line : Dont risk your 1 btc into a site to get 11,000 satoshi daily. This is not a bank, keep only what you can afford to lose on the site. Things can always go south

Quote
Daily interest will be calculated at a random time everyday @ 0.0109589% per day and rounded down to the nearest satoshi.

There are no guarantees in life, but not risking anything will never bring any huge rewards. My motto : It is better to burn out, than to fade away.  Grin

That's why I always confuse to those people who always give guarantee on everything since for sure they will give you an unrealistic results and if we will get caught we will end  up crying and wandering on why we lose our money for that schemes. But we should not put a negative thinking and just stay away on all possibilities since if we just believe on our self and risk on our skills for sure in on day we can see a better results in either gambling or other things.

Honestly speaking, when we say adopting cashless transactions, it's more likely for the public to recognize cards or other digital payment methods compared to bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. It's already hard for others to adapt to simple digital transaction method, what more with bitcoin.
Yes, because unfortunately there are limited merchants who accept bitcoin payment and we can only see them in few countries that's why we cannot see it more used in terms on essential transactions, But still there's a good thing happening with this pandemic since when people is at home for sure they find bitcoin as reliable currency and potential profit giver to the people who seeks an opportunity to earn. I see some of my fellow country men reaching out on it and provably they will explore this and find a good venture that will fit on their findings.

Oladipo could be helping the team but could also very well might hurt the team as well. Remember when Utah didn't had Mike Conley and they played better? Sometimes just because you are a great player or maybe even the best player on the team that doesn't really mean the team will do better. The reason for this is when you are playing as a whole team you get to be a lot more tough to defend, everyone attacks the basket and you have 5 people to guard and if you miss one of them they will score however when you have one super star you have to focus on them

One of the main reasons why Lebron wanted to play with other stars all his career, because if you are playing against just Lebron lead team with no other star, all you have to do is stop him, or slow him down. Hence why having Oladipo could be an amazing improvement or maybe wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Are you forgetting that Oladipo was coming out of a injury when he played this season? Of course he will fail to do impressive numbers right now since his play time is limited and his cohesion with the team  won't be that good. If you are judging him now and how he doesn't contribute well to the team it's because of that, I even doubt that the Pacers will become competitive again without him so he was really that unwanted star that can shine for them. You'll see what I mean if he won't be playing with the Pacers and the team won't have any replacement for him, they'll basically be trash even if Turner is around.

He's body is recovering for sure he will struggle plus you can add the emotional stress for that since for sure he will be careful so that he will not be injured again, I think he will struggle to get his numbers back since he encounter a gruesome injury. But I think pacer still a big team since they still have plenty of potential young legs and they should look for temporary replacement to cope up their need inside the court.

The decision depends on the coach, they can still give him a playing time but he might only play a limited minutes.
His contribution in the past was appreciated for sure, but if he can't contribute the same this playoffs, well, of course the coach will have to adjust.
Actually, I haven't seen Oladipo already back in his old self, it might still take time before he can fully regain his full confidence.

Yeah that will be better since it could help Oladipo to fully regenerate his self so that he will fully recovered and comeback stronger in next season. But this is a huge adjustment for them since they used to be rotating with oladipo but suddenly all changes when he got injured let see what will be the adjustment given when they comeback since the new guys should step up while their star is not in good shape.

The really next move is going to be a big one. I am foreseeing a positive price movements and that in turn is going to push bitcoin above $10,000 but it might not last long there.

Its kinda early to tell but I also feel that coming, but unfortunately we will not get any stability for that numbers since we are still at bad situation, so maybe best for us not to do a long trade since we might gonna caught up or miss those fast opportunity brought by volatility and best for us to react the way on how the market moves today.

I agree with @SFR10, $50 just to be able to withdraw? That is too high specially that you are new in the market. And it also depends on how people are going to earn in your platform. So it looks like this is a winnable position to you. Users who get bored and tired and not reaching $50 will simply go away and move to other platform that offer less withdrawal amount. And what happens to their hard work? It's your that are going to win.

Even paid to click sites set the minimum withdrawals at $1. And THEY have a hard time to maintain newcomers who realize you need to click 200 ads or watch 50 videos just to get that minimum.

Way too high to keep those people who try it out to get interested. Unless you are able to pay big amounts per action.

I tried those and 1$ still huge for the clicks and ads watch it makes me get bored and stay away to the platform before, also I get surprised for reading a $50 limits? for sure people will not spend their money since most provably that they will not get their compensation for their efforts since anytime the owner might shut their site if he cannot get a good result and efforts will be wasted for that scenario.

You must find an idiot who does not realize that this is not a game but a mere scam.

Your last post was February 2015, 5 years ago. After 5 years of not posting,  you come and say this site is a scam. You really hate this site alot arent you?  Wink

The site is provably fair, you can verify each bet if you think its a scam. There is a huge difference between saying this site a scam and saying this site has a high house edge

Having a higher house edge compared to most dice site isnt a scam. Sure that you will be losing alot more but its definitely not a scam and you still have a chance to win*

*P.S : Provided that you are really lucky


Could you elaborate please? How it can be a scam while being provably fair?  Huh
If you're referring to the house edge, most of gambling games aren't free IRL. You must pay something to get the right to play or the game uses a house edge, then if you're lucky you'll win otherwise you'll lose your stake, that's it.

@arallmuus that’s an eagle eyed observation and his claims won’t work, because everyone who knows about Freebitco can swear that it’s a legit site. Furthermore I feel that he may have wagered on freebitco after ages, and he may have lost a good fortune out there, and hence he decided to come out here and rant like a upset gambler would do. Lastly in my personal opinion we should ignore his rantings unless he can back them up with proof, but I’m 100% sure he has no proof to back his false claims.

For sure he is disappointed for the result that he  takes nothing for the abused he do that's why he create a noise in this thread but apparently many  people knows on how good for now is this site so for proper validation on how they wreck about their claims maybe they need a strong support for  that matters  since many people will not  believe easily for just a single bad statement thrown unto this site
3951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Covid wave vs Bitcoin on: June 20, 2020, 01:43:29 PM
Will the same thing happen again, can we expect the new lows?
What are your thoughts?

I'm not a negative thinker, but this pandemic really affect a lot of factors in the market. As we are experiencing lows right now, all of are suffering and most of the governments are really having a hard time to recover from this downfall. We are not still in a process of recovery but the next wave of Covid-19 is approaching, probably that cause a new panic in most of the investors.

Recession is what other countries are experiencing because of the lockdown. Market transactions can't be processed and businesses are still not allowed to operate because of the risk of getting the virus from its customers. Economic activities will surely be still postponed and the economic recovery will probably slowed due to closed businesses.

It's not about  negativity its about  being realistic and we see the effect now and due to lock downs we suffer  to much especially on financial matters since majority of  job are  been closed until further notice while this disease still exist. Economic recovery will takes time to improve but it's better than nothing and the one I hope by now is this disease will end up so that we can see a great action with bitcoins.
3952  Economy / Speculation / Re: Volatility warning on: June 20, 2020, 12:52:26 PM
Literally no one can predict the price movement but it is going to be more or less volatile but the volatility is always present with bitcoin price trend so one who keep checking the prices every minutes will be forced to sell at some point which we call as panic selling so they have to make a goal to reach until that they need to keep holding.

Apparently yes but their are guides where we can base our guess regarding on what will be the upcoming result of the next movement of bitcoins although this is not accurate but  its so helpful for  traders  and we can see almost all are watching it and reading some charts. And it's normal for people to always check on  prices since I myself always check on what is the currently state of the bitcoins price so that I will be updated  on daily  movement, and it's  up for the  people if they will get panic if they see some unwanted changes to the price.

It is fortunate to find or get a referral that will give you a huge commission especially as it will deposit for passive income. Don't just stop spreading your referral link to attract newcomers to crypto who also want to first try claiming faucet as an introduction. For those who are now inactive you may be able to substitute for a little extra help with your savings.

You will be so lucky if you find a whiles who will register on your personal links but I'm sure those guys knows how this referral earning works and for sure provably  they will create a secondary account just to get those earnings for  their selves(Just my opinion). But for this still its good to scatter the links outside to get even small gamblers since imagine how big you can get if you will get a hundreds of small active gamblers players play on the site you promote.
3954  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coronavirus lock down boosts on: June 18, 2020, 01:20:08 PM
In spite of the lock down, and thousands of death caused by coronavirus in Russia. There has been a sharp increase in bitcoin trading volume across Russia. The number of registered users in Binance during April 2020 was two times higher than December of 2019.
Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/coronavirus-lockdown-boosts-bitcoin-trading-in-russia

With this kind of development in Russia, are we to expect a big price movement not only in bitcoin but to altcoin generally 

Not surprising at for the global lockdown happening in the world and all most all of the people have no job since the establishment is close for a while due to the threat of covid-19 for sure people will find ways to earn some money just to be used for their daily needs or they find another form just to make their earnings consistent that's why we see some great boost for the price of bitcoins compare to the past dump happening.

But I don't expect to see a big pump right now since we sti doesn't know if that increase creates demand since we don't know maybe some of new people are just curious on what is happening on crypto industry.
3955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience? on: June 18, 2020, 11:47:46 AM
Crowds or audiences really make a difference sometimes, without it, you can't feel the excitement and pressure. But still, I guess there is a little advantage if you are being used to the court where you practice. This audience screams, cheers, or what, it won't work in some teams or players, they are trained physically and emotionally.

Yeah the feeling of having too many people supporting you is always been a best thing home court advantage brings us but now that it is not allowed i'm sure there will always be changes in the players performances.
Hope that this will come back soon and the momentum will always push towards the owner of the court.

Let's get real here, we will not see a home court advantage soon as vaccine is not expected this year and that's the only solution for people to go out without a fear, right now, the government through their designated agencies are watching the sports events and they will ensure that they are complying with the protocol especially on the no crowd policy, so we are going to witness more games with no home court advantage.
This is the new normal and we should deal with it as an audience.These organizations would really need to comply with the rules for them to be able to resume out.
Home court advantage cant really be seen now and i do agree that audience do really give some impact towards teams victory or performance.
I have seen boxing events that has no crowd and i can really tell the difference and how much more on a stadium on where basketball players do play
without any crowd noise? Its different but we do need to deal with it.


It will be no matter if players will be focus on the goals but I think the game will be more different since there's no crazy crowds will clap or curse them for their playing style at that time so provably this will be equal, But although that would be the angle of plays still for sure the court familiarity will still show up since for sure you will get used to it when you are playing on your home court.

I understand what you are trying to accomplish here, but this isn't the best way to attract gamblers in my opinion. Why do you think the big casino sites go all out with their designs?

It's because that is what leaves a lasting impression on the gamblers. I have seen gambling related sites with great designs last way longer when compared to gambling sites that have poor designs.

Pure text just makes your site look boring and bland. Gamblers could still access your site quickly even if you add more pictures and videos. You could use the help of a freelancer to accomplish this at an optimal rate.

Just a couple of suggestions from my side since I would really like to see these kinds of sites become popular.
Are you sure that a gambler will get attracted just because of high graphics and videos to sign up using a referral link?
I do not think so. You must need a bounty to convince them to sign up under you.

Probably the places where we are going to spend long hours must need good graphics and pleasing look and atmosphere to keep us navigating/playing with them but for a portal where you can get only comparison of gambling houses and other relevant information, just text will be more than enough, in my opinion as well.

I guess OP must need to keep adding more houses along with reviews and big winnings happened on those houses which will definitely make them as a good reference/bookmarking site among gamblers. Just my 2 cents.. Wink.

some gamblers prefer good graphics , animations and ui too . there are some that look if how much is the edge of the site before they play and many more .  every gamblers have diferent preference so much better if he put more details on the list so that it will be easy for gamblers to choose from if what gambling games best suites them   .  for me i like sites that are quite long enough on the crypto and gambling industry  , with a median graphics and not so high house is good to go  .

For my personal preferences I would rather choose that since it could add to my urge to play on the site although I play in the other which is low grade for me but I only spent few minutes and quit since I always end up feel bored and move to another with fancy things and other appealing features.

Sana talaga magkaroon ng vaccine sa virus na ito para bumalik na ulit sa normal ang lahat. Stay safe mga kabayan!

From GMA news:


Dexamethasone hailed as first life-saving drug vs. COVID-19, reduces deaths by a third among severe cases


Not a vaccine yet na pinakahihintay na'tin pero good naman atleast mayroon. One more thing, approved na rin siya ng WHO. But according sa ilang health experts and sa video ni Doc Willie Ong, ito ay para sa mga malalang patient na, hindi siya applicable sa mga mild nor sa virus free. Take note it is a steroid known naman na may mga side effects ito sa katawan ng tao. Kaya low dosage lang ang binibigay sa mga na sa critical condition na patients. Hoping na lang na mapunta ulit dito 'yong FAI since they knew better, para kahit papaano masuporthan 'yong mga na sa critical condition kaso may naging issue dati 'tong DOH, FDA against sa Fabunan.

Ingat lang rin sa pagbili. Pero AFAIK, pahirapan na makabili nito unlike noon. Need na rin ng reseta ng mga doctor bago ka mabigyan. Remember may side effects ito.

Source: https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/world/742914/steroid-dexamethasone-reduces-deaths-among-patients-with-severe-covid-19-trial-shows/story/?fbclid=IwAR211ExTI_xzO2YdHI2wcynNcghg8eL09tBypnasxtxyRkGCoomItI8_Aoo


Mainam na ito atleast pinapataas ng gamot na ito ang surviv rate ng isang malubhang pasyante, pero bakit kaya di nila sinuportahan ang FAI e sa tingin ko katulas din naman ito sa kasalukuyang na diskobreng gamot? ni nawala na ngang parang bula at parang wala talaaga silang plano na subukan ang gawang pinoy, Malaking breakthrough sana un sa filipino medicine if talagang effective un.

pero sana talaga mahanap na ung totoong gamot na mabisa talaga para matapos na ang sakit na ito.
3958  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Safe with bitcoin? on: June 17, 2020, 11:36:14 AM
Today we are experiencing a virus and that is the coronavirus or the NCov19 that is becoming pandemic immediately in just a single week and today there are a lot of people still going outside even there is a quarantine. The reason why? They need to go outside just to buy foods and things they need and also pay their bills they are prone to the virus also the virus can now be attached to the tangible things like money if they are already infected and touch the money with the virus it is rapidly spreading immediately. And today it is good to introduce the use of cryptocurrency or the bitcoin using online payment because it is more faster and secured they don't need to go outside too to pay other things they need and it is better if we are spreading those information so they can now made online payment and let's stop spreading of virus.
Yes,bitcoin will be a good idea,option,or alternative payment method to help not spreading virus because you can transact inside your house as long as you have data or internet to connect. But the problem is ,not all people are already using bitcoin and if you forced them to use bitcoin now that they don't have enough knowledge about it,i think this is not a good idea. For us,it's really helped. Even me ,i used my bitcoin to pay our bills because in our country there is an apps that you can send your bitcoin and use it directly for bills payments and buy loads. Very helpful. I hope many people will also discover the usage of bitcoin and accept it someday. It could be a great help for this pandemic situation.
Indeed. Using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as an alternative payment will help us not to catch and spread the virus because we can avoid having physical contact with different people when going to stores, malls, and other public places, that is why it is much better if countries will accept bitcoin during the pandemic because it could really reduce the virus cases.


If we go on merchant who accept cryptos then I will agree for that matter but actually the adoption is not wide as you think since there are certain countries who still doesn't accept totally the crypto on their payment system and if you live on the country who are not technology updated for sure you will struggle if you are holding bitcoins for transactions. Hopefully bitcoins gather more attention for merchants right now since indeed this is a great and safest option for people to transact with less contact to the other entities.

I'm really not surprised that some exchanges do this in my opinion(along with wash trading). If you sort the exchanges on Coinmarketcap through 24hr volumes, there are a good number of unknown exchanges near the top.

https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

Agreed! Stricter regulations on the cryptospace are coming in Canada hehehe.

However, would everyone be surprised if some of the exchanges might be a part of a global money laundering ring? It appears anything is possible in the cryptospace.

This should be implemented around the globe but seems this regulation is hard to get up since there are so many unlicensed exchange popping up these days.

I think those laundering scenarios are happening since in casino it happens in the past so provably this one are already used by those frauds to avoid being track on their transactions.

Many people here consider Lakers and Clippers to be the championship favorites. A few pages earlier there was also a discussion about the rivalry of Lebron and Kawhi. See what Danny Green, guy who played with them both, says about both leaders.

https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1272689341027024899

What type of leader would you prefer in a team? Louder like LBJ or more uncommunicative like KL? Personally, I think I would choose Lebron, although his huge charisma can be a great advantage, but sometimes it can also have a bad effect on the team. Anyway, I hope to see these players compete in the conference finals.


LeBron's leadership has been proven, though what makes him put in the bad light, is that he's always surrounded with superstars. He might not be recruiting them, but some of them would love to play along with him.
Leonard on the other hand, isn't that good as a leader of the squad. He's just an excellent both offensive and defensive player, he's the best asset a team could ever had. But, If we're talking about leadership, I would also choose LeBron over Leonard.

I don't need to watch the 2 minutes video but I presume that Green will say that Lebron is the better player than Leonard since he is currently playing with Lebron now in the LA Lakers. If my personal view will count to you guys, lol... I would choose Kawhi Leonard over Lebron James as he is more clutch and can be trusted to give a win to his team, many times I've seen him take the last shot or bring the ball to score for his team in crucial times, so I would choose him over Lebron who would just pass the ball. Sorry, no offense to the Lebron fans but this is just my bias opinion.

I'm with you, Lebron is good but in terms of Leadership I like "THE CLAW" Kawhi Leonard as he is willing to take the last shot, the last season, in the playoffs and NBA finals, there's a lot of highlights we can see how Leonard carry his team, including a thrilling win over the sixers as after that win, they never struggle anymore winning the NBA Finals.

I agree that Kawhi can be a team leader on the field. He showed it many times in matches of the regular season, as well as in the finals - in San Antonio beating LBJ or later in Raptors. However, Kawhi lacks the expression and charisma that a leader should have. The leader should be able to raise the team's morale not only by playing well, but sometimes also by some kind of behavior, I don't know, big dunk or a some gesture towards the fans. A bit of the character of a showman who can inspire the whole arena. Kawhi doesn't have it or shows it extremely rarely.

I don't agree with that do you see how big is the impact when he is on the floor? he always change the phase and his teammate will became more confident when he is on the court and look what happen in raptors he brought up the team to the finals and they win their chip. Maybe you mean he's so silent and that what makes him unique he became more famous for his attitude since people will find it mystery especially when he smiles.
