4021  Economy / Economics / Re: Simple reason why crypto is preferred over fiats on: October 14, 2021, 12:05:19 PM
That's because no single person or group of persons is or are in control of Cryptos, it's called Blockchain technology
Yes and No.
If you put your cryptos in an online wallet or any wallet that you don't have private keys on it then technically it is owned by the company where you put your cryptos and they have a control on it. On the other hand if you have your keys on it then you have full control of it.

It's a decentralised system meaning money sent or received from or to an account can be seen or monitored by everyone or anyone who wishes to
You can monitor it yes since it is on the Blockchain like you said but if something bad happens (scammed or get hacked), can you track it? Unless there isn't any tracks that they left then even though you can monitor it, it will be hard.

Unlike your normal bank that has CEO who decides how he wants to run his business, he can collaborate with the president to Syphon millions of naira and no one will know about it
I agree with this so fck the banks Cheesy . Just kidding.

So stealing with Cryptos is almost not possible
Bitconnect, Centra and other ICO's out there. Other projects that ended up a rug pull. New projects that the main goal is to steal money from investors. What do you call that then? Isn't it stealing using cryptos??

So a time will come when everyone wouldn't want to be cheated again by the banking system and would move to using Cryptos for Saving money and other transactions.
I'm a supporter of Bitcoin and possible cryptos in general but saying this? I don't think that it will happen. Whatever you will say, there will still be people who will use banks. There are some bank users that don't know that they are being cheated. We might see some who prefer to use cryptos for saving but there will be some who will use banks for saving because either they don't know cryptos in general or they are just comfortable with banks Cheesy.

This might be more personal as well confidential to we all, but if you're to share your thoughts or advice one on how to spend he's/her 1btc what would that be ?
Estate management ?
More in Bitcoin ?
Investment in the Stock market ?
Maybe your ideas might or will be helpful.
You are right that asking a question like this would be better if you will just not ask it to us because its more of a personal question and a confidential one like you said.

But if I will be on that situation and I want to spend 1BTC, I might diversify it more into different assets. Altcoins, Mutual Funds, Blue Chip Stocks and keeping some into top coins are the things that I will do. Maybe most of us will prefer to just let 1BTC be hold because many believe that it will have more value in the next years. It might be true but I like to diversify more than just putting it into 1 asset Smiley.

They might trade him, or like Ben he will get deducted sums of money for not participating in the Nets game. Kyrie still owns the Nets for singing a contract, and the Nets deserves something in return for Kyrie's services.
He also has a card for that. "I will retire if they trade me."

I don't think that he still has the ace in his sleeve here, Nets can call his bluff anytime, if he wanted to retire so be it. But I don't think he will be even in the ballot of a HOF in the future because of his antics and drama. He has supposed to partnered with Kyrie to make a Nets championship caliber, but with his attitude now, might be a wrong decision by anyone, to pair with him. Lucky Celtics, they have dumped him before this whole covid-19 pandemic. They should have been the one who has the headache right now.  Grin
This is the reason why he can't stay long in one team. He might stayed long enough with the Cavs but correct me if I'm wrong but after he got his championship with LeBron, his ego went up. He created dramas like this. He wants attention always by making this kind of problems and shitstuffs.

Now he has this "Retire" card. I don't even know why the Nets aren't trying to trade him. He is an egoistic player that doesn't want to vaccine for personal reasons. He'd rather lose huge amounts of money and not help his teammates just for the sake of him not being vaccinated. What kind of attitude is that?

Celtics are lucky indeed that they traded him and now the Nets are having a problem with his attitudes. After the Ben Simmons saga, we have another saga again - the Kyrie Irving saga. I will be waiting for the next move of the Nets with this. Will they trade him or will they just let Kyrie not play in their home games.
4024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: price of CAKE $50 realistic? on: October 14, 2021, 10:23:53 AM
What prospects do you think the CAKE coin has? It's worth $20 now and used to be $40 (ATH). This DEFI token is for trading and stacking. I plan to hold it (and stake it as well) and sell it for $50. What do you think is a good idea?
I'm holding and staking CAKE right now so I will be a little bit bias about that Cheesy.

After all, its ATH is around $40. $10 dollars lower than the price you projected and I believe that it will reach that price not this year but next year. It is the first DEX under Binance so I think that that itself might help CAKE to increase its price. Try and hold it if you want. Put it in Pool if you want to stake it and wait until it goes to $50. I think I have a target selling price right now @$50. Cheesy

SMB tried to make a rally in the 4th quarter but it wasn't enough, TNT made sure they will not anymore have another heartbreaking loss and with their dominance in the game, they were able to take the lead in the series, one game away and TNT will advance in the Finals.

Are we gonna see a game 7 here?

With things going on here. I mean the see-saw battle and the pattern of the game, most probably we will see a do or die game 7 in this series. But with the addition of Kelly Williams in the line-up, TNT is stronger a notch and that makes me think that this could be it, TNT will go to the finals.

I just don't know what happen to the gunners of SMB, seems that they can't find their mark in the rainbow area while it was the opposite scenario on the TNT side where they were draining buckets like it's only free throws  Smiley. If TNT continues its high percentage goal in that area then there's no way SMB could bounce back but it's a good thing also as we will see an SMC vs MVP company in the finals.

TNT's defense is clicking, because they are quicker, it's easier for them to double anyone who they think is a threat in the offense. JMF is could not dominate the paint, he made a double-double last game but the impact was not there yet, I mean, if Fajardo would be consistent scoring inside, that would open up more opportunity for the outside shooters to position themselves well as JMF will be doubled.

Anyway, there's still one game for them to even the series, it's hard to criticize what they did when suddenly they will bounce back and dominate again this time in game 6.
Williams played, Erram played and the team played well. A well deserved win for the TNT.
JMF can be stopped inside by using double team and what's good with TNT is that if JMF will pass it, the defenders are always rotating so that SMB will still have a hard time shooting the ball. On the other hand if JMF will try to push it, it will be hard for him to get points. Yes he might get rebounds but it is defensive rebounds or he might get some offensive ones but still, he can be stopped inside.

I think that this will go into a 7 game series but TNT will win the series. I'm an SMB fan still but just see the roster of TNT. Their starters are one of the best in the league right now and their bench is too deep that you can create a decent 5 man team with them. They are also one of the best defensive teams. I think that they will be the ones who will get the championship now too Cheesy.

Hello
Im looking for investments opportunities and found SLP chart. It looks pretty to buy it.
Can it grew as well as AXS?
SLP can be farmed by everyone that is playing Axie therefore, anytime they can sell it. Investing and holding in SLP itself isn't ideal at least for me unless you're a breeder but investing and holding in AXS might be a good idea since they also launched their staking program.

Also I heard that SLP farming was profitable. Is that actual now with low SLP cost?
For example can I setup few accounts + farming bots from github like World Of Warcraft?
If you have skills then farming SLP will be profitable.
With regards to farming bots, we will not recommend it but you might try it for your own sake since you also tried to make farming bots with World of Warcraft Smiley.

Looks like Erram is unlikely to play in game 5.

The odds are out and SMB is currently -2.5 which we didn't see in the previous games that they have this kind of spread early.
I guess I would just wait for the game time and see if Erram is available, if he is out then probably I would not hesitate betting on the SMB but if he will play, then I would try to bet on the TNT hoping they'll win in game 5.
With that note, the chances of SMB winning them will be higher with Erram not playing in Game 5.
If I'm Coach Chot, I will not push Erram to play if he is unlikely to play because it might affect them the whole series especially that Williams might miss some games too (hope not).

If you are a bettor then just bet during the game and see if Erram will play or not Smiley. On the other hand though, I'm not saying that if Erram will not play then SMB will win automatically. They still have these "kurimaws" that Coach Chot has been saying that can help the team. The bench of TNT is deep too.
4028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you want to see Bitcoin legal in your country? on: October 12, 2021, 12:43:38 PM
I don't really care if they will legalize Bitcoin here in our country or not.
If it will be legalized then well and good but if the opposite will happen, still its ok because there are many ways to have access to crypto.

TBH, our country isn't doing that much when it comes to crypto. They are allowing us to use it but they are spreading awareness against scams and prevention from hacking which is really a good thing if you will ask me. To answer your question, I don't want Bitcoin to get legalized or the opposite here in our country Cheesy.
4029  Economy / Economics / Re: When will the role of fiat currency disappear against crypto. on: October 12, 2021, 10:50:13 AM
Currently, there are many usd-based stablecoins such as, usdt, busd, usdc and maybe many others.  To be honest, I used to think that crypto would completely eliminate the usd's dominance of the world economy but I was wrong, it turns out that usd is now evolving to crypto (stablecoins).  What do you think, whether in the future bitcoin or other crypto can replace the role of currency in each country and leave fiat currencies such as usd, euro, yuan and others.
You are right that there are many types of stablecoins out there already like the ones you said.
To answer your question into whether crypto will replace the role of fiat currency, try to answer this one first.
- How much of the world's population right now have access into crypto?

If you have an answer to that one then you will know the answer into whether it will replace fiat. You are asking this question because you yourself are involved into crypto for a long time and to think that it will replace fiat currency? A currency that has been there for just 12 years will replace it? Not all of the people worldwide have access into crypto and in fact, there are a portion of people in the world that has no access to smartphones or whatever technology that it needs to access cryptocurrency.

On the other hand, crypto and fiat can exists at the same time so why the thinking of "Bitcoin will replace fiat in the future" and the like? I don't get the idea with this TBH because at first place, crypto isn't created to replace fiat.

Thanks for welcoming us and other investors who are patiently holding and waiting for this moment Cheesy.
The time has come for Bitcoin to try and retest its previous ATH of near $64,000. Cheesy Nahh too early. Lets wait for Bitcoin to surpass the $60,000 price before saying that.

Right now, Bitcoin has started to go up and right now it is at the $57,000-$58,000 price range. Fck China who is trying to ban cryptocurrency in their country. I'm slowly accumulating Bitcoin because I know that this time will come Smiley.
4031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 12, 2021, 09:46:42 AM
These are just my personal view though, yes, they almost win in game 1 but it was still TNT who have a big lead early, SMB just had a big run in the 4th quarter and unfortunately, they were not able to complete it the win. In the 3rd quarter, the score was 19-29 TNT, while in the 4th quarter, 18-28 SMB. 10  point lead is not enough for them to beat the TNT and it's been always like that, SMB will have a big run usually in the last quarter like what they did in game 2 where they finally succeed to win.

If you guys noticed, it was Pogoy who carried TNT Katropa on the first three games, scoring 20+ points on each game while only managed to score a single bucket in the last game when SMB's defense clamped down on him so I think SMB would be now focused on stopping/limiting Pogoy for them to win the series. A lot of adjustments for SMB in game four that worked that gave them the big win so i think they will do the same in game 5.

On a side note, I do hope that Poy Erram is okay and could play in the next game. He was brought to the hospital for check up for that apparent head injury he sustain colliding with Mo.

Pogoy was the most consistent scorer in the lineup, he should heat up again in game 5 so the TNT could take the lead in the series. Poy Erram as well is contributing 20 points or more for the team but last game he was only held up to 3 points. As for the latest news, Erram is doubtful in game 5, so this is a big problem for TNT as they will miss a big man who can score on Fajardo.

Injured TNT big man Poy Erram uncertain for Game 5
Quote
Poy Erram’s status for Game 5 of the PBA Philippine Cup semifinals between TNT and San Miguel Beer remains uncertain due to a suspected fracture on his cheekbone.


I don't know if what Mo did to Erram is the reason why he got injured but it seems that it is. Either way, his absence will affect the team that much.
With him out for Game 5 (if he will), the TNT will rely mostly on Troy, Dave "Gwapo" Marcelo and Khobuntin which isn't that big compare to JMF and Tautuaa. The good news though is that, Williams might return earliest in Game 5 says Coach Chot: LINK

Quote
“I think the earliest possible is Game 5. That’s the earliest possible, but still it’s not a guarantee,” according to TnT coach Chot Reyes.

Erram is the best defender for Fajardo no doubt so his absence will be felt by the team especially on the paint but him being absent doesn't mean that they have no match for SMB. I don't think though that he will be 100% healthy in Game 5 if he manages to play. I just hope that Williams will really come back on Game 5.
4032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 10, 2021, 10:36:38 AM
Wow! I did not see it coming, after a bad performance by the SMB in game 3, they bounce back strong to win by blowout and tie the series. This should go to game 7, and I think next game's winner will be the TNT.
If you will see the recap on the PBA website, you will see something that didn't happen on Game 3.
The starters especially Erram didn't play that much compare to Game 3. They gave more time to their bench. Maybe this is because SMB got a huge lead coming to the 4th Quarter that they gave up already and give more time to the bench.

I didn't watch the whole game because of power outage but what happened to TNT in Game 3 happened to SMB in Game 4. The points are distributed and 7 players got double digits. I would love to see this series and the other one to go to 7 games. More games = more entertainment and more revenue Cheesy. Lets see what will happen in Game 5.
4033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: Fury vs Wilder III - THE TRILOGY IS BACK ON !!! on: October 10, 2021, 10:18:29 AM
This is finally over, Fury proved to the world that he is the better fighter between him and Wilder.

He got Knockdown but just like the first fight he was able to get up and in the end, he was able to KO Wilder with a solid punch.
I just don't like Wilder after the fight as he doesn't show respect when Fury tries to shake hands, so he is really a sore loser now, and no doubt about that.

What's next for Wilder then?
I didn't have the chance to watch the full fight but base on the highlights that I've seen online, it looks like both of them got knocked down. Its just that Fury got a higher endurance and he has more stamina compare to Wilder who is just swinging his hand and not defending at all because of fatigue in the last rounds of the match.

Losing one match to a fighter would be devastating depending to the fighter but losing twice to the same fighter? Wilder has his pride still until the last parts of the fight that he didn't shake hands with Fury. What an unsportsmanlike behavior coming from him.

What's next for him? Maybe he will start low again, fight other fighters, get a ring again and fight other fighters.
4034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 09, 2021, 01:17:04 PM
Anyone watched the Bulls' past 3 games this preseason?

The chemistry is there, the way they communicate, they literally have 4 highflyers in the court, LaVine, Caruso, Ball and Derozan, the best part here is not their vertical though, it's how they pass the ball, Lonzo and Caruso are great all-around players and can definitely be productive on the court.

I'm not rooting for the Bulls though since I love GSW but judging on the Bulls' last 3 games, they look like a powerhouse team indeed, chemistry-wise, and potentially, also, let's not forget about Derrick Jones Jr. as well, so they technically have 5 highflyers on the court, we're gonna be seeing a lot of beautiful plays from this team this season, and that is if they'll all be healthy, the Bulls sure do look like a playoff team, the potential is there, consistency comes next.
The chemistry is there, they are performing well in their last games but the problem is no one is focusing on what they are doing. They are focusing more on Kyrie's dramas, Lakers, Nets etc. Cheesy

With the recent moves that they've done this off-season, they have a better team right now. Lavine can have more help with this players especially Ball who improved his three-point shooting. I'm not rooting them to be a championship contender though but they can be a playoff contender still.
4035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 09, 2021, 10:01:52 AM
JMF has returned from an injury, plus his mother died, so he is not 100% yet. if the Beermen are really a good team, this is the time to show some support to JMF and help the team to win so they could give this as a gift to JMF. SMB is still not out in the series, TNT still has to win 2 more games which looks easy now but once SMB found the best strategy, the advantage might be on them.
There are 2 scenarios with this.
1. JMF has came back from a serious injury that he had years ago. There is this thing on his mind that "what if it will happen again" thing that might affect his performance. I already said this just before this conference happens.
2. TNT knows how to stop him. That's all.

With the 2 that I said, the second one is what is happening right now. TNT knows how to stop him. If you watched those 3 games, you will see that Erram is dominating him inside the paint. Erram is more athletic and faster than him and he can defend JMF too not 1v1 but at least the team can stop him. We can always say that Fajardo isn't at his 100% performance after his injury but at least, give some credits to the bigs of TNT because they can stop him inside. Smiley

I don't know if many will agree with me but I think TNT has all the tools in stopping SMB. They can defend SMB's shooters well and they are one of the best defensive teams this conference. At the same time, they can stop Fajardo and Tautuaa too when SMB will rely on inside points. The bigs of TNT is strong enough to defend these 2 bigs of SMB. I'm an SMB fan but right now, it seems that they are having a hard time defeating this TNT team.

I'm kinda confused for you loss as that is an expensive lesson to learn, hopefully you didn't spend $375k on them or that wasn't worth that much to you because that seems like a lot to lose to a hacker when $80 could've saved you.

Do you know how the hackers got onto your mac and if they're still there?

That's probably more important than what the actually did if it was private keys they were after and sent you a phishing mail or something.

I didn't spend up to 10k dollar on those tokens and NFt, they actually did a bull run on all
Well, you got lucky because you've managed to earn that amount of money just by using a small amount of money.
The bad thing is that you let the hackers take the money.

Just a few weeks ago, I don't know how but it seems that a hacker managed to hack my computer for some reasons and got this account. Fortunately, he didn't got any cryptos that I'm holding right now so I don't know the reason why and how the hackers managed to hack your NFT's.

You spent less knowing the amount that you got that you said but still it is a loss and you must've learned from it Smiley. Hardware wallets are always there and you can buy one. Be careful with the links that you are clicking and don't save your seed phrase in your computer. That is what I'm doing right now.

This is the reason why I'm always avoiding projects especially NFT games that are related to Ethereum.
The fees are very high (again) and there is also a chance that you might pay more fees than the total amount that you will transfer.

If you have no choice and you really want to transfer funds thru ETH, I think waiting or knowing the time where fees are low will help you. Gas prices will not stable IMO because no one knows what might happen to ETH. Probably when ETH 2.0 will be released then that is the time where Ethereum Gas fees will become lower than what it is right now.

Shiba Inu and dogecoin which is your most preferred choice for investment?
Consider also the fact that Dogecoin has been there for a long time compare to Shiba Inu which has been created months ago and it is just a hyped coin. Without DOGE, do you think that SHIB will gain that much popularity that it has right now? It just gained its popularity just because of the hype that happened to DOGE.

The subject title is overexaggerating knowing that these 2 aren't comparable with each other in terms of "which is better" or "which is preferred coin for investment". Both of them have no use case or possible DOGE has which is for transaction purposes since it has low fees and fast tx speed but SHIB? A meme coin like these 2 aren't suitable for investing and holding for at least mid term especially DOGE which is inflationary. You can mine DOGE though but to answer your question, none for me Cheesy. There are better coins to invest out there than these 2.

Lets watch the second game: SMB VS. TNT Smiley.

Here we go again, looks like I already see this scenario where TNT leads in the 1st half but they will allow SMB to roar back in the 2nd half. So far, TNT has a good double-digit lead but the result is always unpredictable because we can't conclude yet that SMB will not come back anymore.
4 and a half minutes remaining in the 4th quarter and I already stopped watching because the lead is 20.
Looks like what you've predicted didn't happen. TNT managed to get the lead at the start of the first quarter and they didn't look back ever since.

The main reason why SMB is in a huge deficit is their turnovers. They have 20+ turnovers as of this moment and it kills them so bad. On the other hand, TNT is capitalizing their turnovers scoring 29 points from it. One thing more is Fajardo. He scored just 14 as of now since the game isn't over still and there is no help coming from others aside from Romeo who scored 22 unlike from TNT who has all 5 starters in double figures. The points are just distributed in TNT. 2-1 in favor of TNT.

P.S. The game ended with a score of 115-98.

Bitcoin is on its way to becoming the solution to the world economic crisis and in the end, bitcoin will truly eradicate inflation since it is a limited supply currency, unlike its counterpart faint currency which does not have a total supply that new notes a printed at will by the Central bank to support the already crashing economy.
No it will not happen Smiley.

Bitcoin will eradicate inflation?? That will not happen. Not all people in the world are using Bitcoin and in fact less than 10% of the global population are using it (maybe it is, just a random number that came to my mind but I'm pretty sure). You can say that Bitcoin can be a hedge against inflation but it isn't enough to say that it will eradicate it.

I think the mere fact that Bitcoin has a limited supply and its decentralization is a proof that it can be a hedge. Just seeing on its movement itself and you can see that those who held Bitcoin for a few years have more money than those who are just holding their money and storing on a bank. Many are saying that Bitcoin is the hedge against inflation so what are you waiting for? Tongue Accumulate now Cheesy.
