Regardless if it is the second country or not, one thing is for sure is that Singapore will continue to be one of the best country that technology are being utilized and very welcome by the government. Yes, they are tiny, but the people leading this country is a visionary and knows that technology will be the future. So bitcoin and crypto will continue to grow and they will be one of the countries that will lead bitcoin mass adoption and application.

4023  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of bitcoin rise again? on: August 21, 2022, 11:59:37 PM
One thing to mention in particular was the bear market a few days ago.

Wait what? the bear market has started since December of 2021, that is when the bubble has been burst (all time high of $69k).

Then the price of Bitcoin has decreased due to the market being down. But now, despite being in a bull market, why is the price of Bitcoin decreasing now? Hope the experienced will tell.

Again, that has been the trend already, -70%++. There could be several reasons, the war is still looming in the background, inflation is also at a all time high in most of the countries, the effect of Covid still lingers and then other news that will come up from time to time. So we will have to see, short term or at least at the end of the year, maybe we can be in the range of $30k.
4024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: August 21, 2022, 11:39:54 PM

But future wise, both fighters are thinking about the possibilities personally. I see Crawford to be very keen to have a fight
this year, maybe if there's alternative options he will grab it.

What alternative he is looking for? Crawford who is also a champion is challenging him, isn't it good to just accept the challenge and prove to the fans that he is the better fighter? Spence is not a definition of a warrior if he act like that, he should not choose a fight just to remain undefeated.

True, both of this fighters have clean up the 147 lbs division that they have all the belts, Spence 3 and Crawford 1. So it's just about time to see who is the best and cemented their legacy.

Although the options that I can see is that Spence moving up to 154 lbs and face Charlo. Or Crawford going to 140 lbs, maybe get Josh Taylor but not sure if that is marketable enough to make money. The best money fight for this two is for them to get on the same ring.
4025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: August 21, 2022, 11:18:14 PM
Wow, another great fight coming up. It's going to be the technician vs hi-tech Cheesy Good nickname combo in this one.

This would be a warm up for loma because we all knows how a good fighter he is and that man ortiz is obviously nothing for hime IMO,because see the difference and the record. So i for sure this will become an easy match for loma this upcoming october and it will become close fight only if loma didn't get this fight seriously inside the ring just to entertain the audience.  Grin

Lomachenko is very good, but he's almost 10 years older and his opponent has a clean record. An opponent with a clean record is never just a warm up.
It's going to be interesting that's for sure. I'd prefer to see him vs Kasombos, but I'll take this one.

Loma vs Kambosos or Haney that will be an exciting fight, so we will have to wait. And that's why it's not good to look at the paper records though, fighters can have 0 lost, but you also have to look at the quality of their opponents. Ortiz best win is against an obvious over the hill Herring, although he has been a champion for several years, but he has aged already, Shakur beat him bad and I think it took a lot of Herring regarding that fight and that's why he was never the same again.
4026  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 21, 2022, 11:00:58 PM
So the replacement of Broner won the fight against Omar Figueroa, not sure if fans have bet on this fight, but I totally skip this one. Lipinets stop Figueroa, his corner and father wave the white flag and ask the referee to stop the fight as his son is taking too much punishment in the hands of Lipinets. He also drops Omar in the second round. Not sure though is this win will have a bearing in the 140 lbs. Possible that Lopez who won over Campa can fight Lipinets as another step up fight for him to be "legitimate" 140 lbs contender, so lets's see.
The results were quite surprising because as a substitute for Broner, Lipinets actually only had a little time to prepare for the fight, but in fact Lipinets were able to compensate and even fight quite crazy by releasing many heavy blows at Figueroa, I think,  what Figueroa father did was actually true because in the 8th round, Lipinets were really quite brutal with many targeting Figueroa head as a target, so it was clear that Lipinets dominated enough without any resistance from Figueroa who had been stuck at the side of the ring.

I think it's not surprising at all because the odds favor Lipinets. And if I'm not mistaken, Lipinets is also preparing a fight on the next couple of weeks. So he is already in shape even before being tap as a replacement for AB.

Also, as @lionheart78 has pointed out, sometimes this replacement fighters can really gave big problems on the opposing side because they are not prepared for it.

@DU18 mentioned LIpinets lost to Ennis, Jarod is one of the best prospects in 140-147 lbs.
4027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 21, 2022, 10:40:29 PM
Because they would be trading a excelent player for NBA rookies, that is, it would be something uncertain, because we wouldn't know if the nba rookies will be promising players.

That's what I'm trying to point out. New York Knicks always get a good ticket every year on the rookie draft picks but still none of those picks become excellent. The gamble is still there and getting Donovan Mitchell is worth a gamble. Surrounding Mitchell with good role players is proven to be effective and we see that in his Utah Jazz experience but the only problem is they are choking in the playoffs.

That's part of the risks that lower-tier teams in the NBA should accept. If teams like NYK, will not gamble, nothing will change on their journey every season.

True, just look at OKC since trading PG and Westbrook and even CP3, then have tons of draft picks from trading that player and yet they can't get at least one decent players from the draft pick.

So it will be a huge gamble for the Knicks if they let go RJ and a bunch of draft picks for Donovan Mitchell. Let the Knicks focus on the current roster, I think they are good with Brunson already with Obi Toppin.

Jalen Brunson and Obi Toppin’s connection in workout video will excite Knicks fans.
4028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK on: August 21, 2022, 10:08:27 PM
I also voted for Fury to win the unification fight. Of course Usyk will be bring something that maybe Fury hasn't face before, he is a technical boxer and uses a lot of movement.

But I think Fury will rely on his advantage, his height and length and his ring IQ to solved Usyk and maybe this fight will go to distance with a MD or SD win for Tyson Fury.
Fury will certainly be trying to lean on Usyk trying to weaken him the way he roughed up Wilder but Usyk hardly let Joshua lean on him because he was fluid. Fury will have a lot of reach advantage and will use that jab to much better use than Joshua did over the course of their two fights.

Although if I may add, this might be the first time that we might see Joshua having his match in terms of movement and with fast hands. But then again, that reach and power belongs to Fury and I think he will still rely on that kind of tactics, maybe testing on how Usyk will respond if he roughs him up, putting all his weight on him in the corner . And then Fury's jab will also play a key role. He has fast hands and for sure he can hit Usyk more than Joshua did on their two fights.

Castro ruined a possible OT and that’s a great one for TNT to take the game 1. SMB for sure didn’t expect the result of this one, they have a good run in the first half but failed to sustain that momentum and the result is not good for them. Game 2 will be more challenging for TNT because for sure, SMB is so eager to bounce back and tie the series. It looks like this will be a long series, let’s find out.
It was a great first game for both teams, as expected the game was very close and intense, we can’t just call it a lucky shot from Castro because we know his true potential and with that shot, he was saying that he is still the same great Castro. I won in my first bet and now looking at some odds again and have to analyze the game 1 and see if in game 2, SMB can have a win as well.

Congrats, I guess Castro is really that experience and willing to take those kind of shots. And it was the SMB of the previous series against the Bolts, seems to be dominating but need some push to close a game. So another buzzer beater and great escape by TNT. But then again, this is just the first game, and for sure, SMB will make the necessary adjustments in Game 2. I haven't check the odds yet, but if they are the underdog, I might go with them.

4031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: List of psychological tricks that casinos use. on: August 21, 2022, 11:11:05 AM
This is very correct and this only can make gamblers to return to casinos many times because they have friends who might be online and they can chat with. When there is consistent interaction between gamblers, they tend to make friends and shares strategies and winnings with other gamblers which can motivate the ones that have been having difficult time with gambling. There are may ways casinos can attract gamblers to join there platform which involves different strategies and technologies.
They are called social gamblers. If you visit a thread here you will see that it's one of the main reasons on why a gambler can go back to a casino that they are playing with. I was one of it actually but im sad now because my old friends are not online anymore. I don't know what happen to them but I hope they are still fine and doing better with their lives now away from gambling. This could be the reason on why I am now rarely playing.

I once tried to make new friends but guess what happened? These new players simply ignored me. While if I try to show my winning bet, everyone in the room will then greet me. This is clear that they only care for the money.

I will agree, although I socialized in landbase casinos, talking with players let say when I'm in a table or someone besides me in a slot machine. But most of the time, some of the individuals specially if they see you winning big will suddenly talk to you and it just shows that maybe they want you to give them tips. But I'm thinking, if I'm not going to win, for sure this guy are not going to approach me. So just be careful from those kind of individuals you will find in the casinos.
4032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: August 21, 2022, 09:20:09 AM
On the other hand, Loma will be tested here because he hasn't fought for a while. But we have seen him destroying good fighters like Commey and Nakatani in his comeback fight after a shoulder injury and a lost to Kambosos. Now this could be his second coming. But I still think that Loma is still very much in his prime and maybe we will see another great performance.

I think you mean a lost to Lopez mate, Lopez then lost to Kambosos in his mandatory fight.

With a win by Usyk tonight, Ukraine's people must be in the high spirit now and come October it would be Lomachenko's turn to make his people proud. I don't see a Loma loss here because for me this is just a "keep busy" fight for him before fighting for the title next year, a rematch with Lopez might be a good one but i don't think Loma would go up in weight and chase Lopez so a fight with Haney is the way to go.

Yes, similar to what Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire brings when they won, everybody is on a stand still, no crime in the street hehehe.

For those who are interested, here is the video of him arriving in the US. That time there were already news that he will make his comeback but at that time we don't know who is his opponent's name.

You can see in his eyes what the war has brought in him and his native country.

4033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 21, 2022, 07:44:00 AM
But Westbrook for Irving? That would not happen, he was even traded by the Wizards because he did not fit in their system, in fact, when he got traded Wizards improved, it not only due to the injury problem, they have a chance to be in the playoffs last season.

The problem with Westbrook is he really didn't give much outstanding performance which many fans expect. And he is now the target of bashing then blame him every game they lose so maybe he was so affected with it mentally that's why we see his games so broken. For sure for his past performance many teams will doubt to get him because they might get the same issue with him.

They have a full new season coming, time to fix that doubts and Westbrook has to relive that old Westbrook who is a scoring champ and an MVP as well. It's now or never, because if he still messed up this coming season, Lakers will surely dump him through trade.

At least give Westbrook this new season, if he still below par then obviously he leave no choice for the Lakers, so he maybe in the trading block soon.

So hopefully it will be a new Lakers next season, their big 3 coming healthy and maybe just want to forget last's season poor performance and Westbrook giving his everything to help the Lakers win games and for sure he will eat up statistical numbers specially in the triple double department.

4035  Economy / Gambling / Re: Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past on: August 21, 2022, 06:53:46 AM
The greatest vulnerability of the past is that they enter a casino and steal all the funds and then the casino has the capacity to respond to each of the players, all the casinos are in danger of that, but if a very large robbery occurs What casinos can be here to respond to that? It is known that a vulnerability is a failure of a casino, but players do not have to pay for that failure or bug.

Perhaps that was in it's infancy, wherein casino's are very vulnerable and maybe they don't have cold wallet and everything is in they hot wallet that's why hackers can get all their money. But security has involved already, and so far vulnerabilities are like people abusing the casino or even some exploits. But it can be quickly patch by the casino if they found out and that individual ban from them. Sometimes though, those exploits turns into a bug bounty for the gamblers.
4036  Economy / Gambling / Re: bitdice delaying everything they can to kyc and withdraw on: August 21, 2022, 05:30:58 AM
anyway, I'm curious, are they now planning on paying all 15 of your withdrawal requests? I saw the post you made after mine that they were processing 7/15 of the withdrawal request you made.
Obviously. They are aware of the fact that their reputation will go into the drain if they don't fix this mess asap which is why they will most probably pay all 15 withdrawal requests.

Their reputation is already in the drained with the whole accusations years ago about their ICO. And then they stop their campaigns and that I think is the long straw for them. Although we've seen that they have overhaul their gambling platform but still they have lost their trust and reputation and then new casino comes along. So it will be hard pressed for them to gain everything back specially with this latest accusation.
4037  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Coins.ph suspended my account without valid reason on: August 21, 2022, 05:07:03 AM
Unfortunately, my level 3 verification account was temporarily flagged by coins.ph since yung proceeds daw ng BTCs ko nanggagaling sa isang gambling establishment, which is prohibited by their TOS. Dahil dito, they limited my withdrawal monthly from p400,000 to only p25,000.
Quick question lang po mga kabayan, May I know kung ano yung dahilan ng paglimit ng withdrawal ng coins sa ganto? I mean, right now nakareceive kasi ako ng enhance verification notification at medjo anxious ako since recently nagdirect withdrawal ako sa gambling platform to coins wallet. May connection po ba yung enhance verification na requirement ni coins.ph sa pag withdraw ko on a gambling website papuntang coins.ph address?

Yun nga ma flag down ang account mo as violating their TOS. At kung nag direct withdrawal ka from gambling site, sooner or later baka ma trace nila. Siguro kung one time baka hindi, pero kung madalas eh baka nga ma trace nila.

Kung enhanced verification request eh matagal tagal na yan, dahil ako hindi ko rin pinansin hanggang hingan na ako ng documents at ibaba rin ang withdrawal limit ko. At so far nga naibalik ko naman sa dati na ang account ko.

So siguro ang advise ko lang eh kung hindi ka pa nakaka pag undergo ng verification eh gawin mo na at wag ka nag mag withdraw direcho from gambling platform->coins.ph account mo.
4038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 20, 2022, 11:25:09 PM
People want to see if Canelo is actually able to beat and maybe even dominate GGG, if he is able to do it then he could clear the doubts that the previous fights created, but he cannot do it then I think this is going to be a slight hit against his reputation.
Even Canelo will show a clearly domination by him against GGG in the trilogy, I wouldn't say Canelo is really prove he's the best boxers since it's different with the first and second fights. It's already have different ages, crowd, luck, situation etc etc and although there will be the fourth or fifth figths, it's still different and can't change the fact GGG was won the first fight.

Yes, that will be the smart move, 160/168 lbs might be suitable for him for now, as there are no fighter in that division that can bring Canelo more millions. 175 is very different, Bivol as we saw how Canelo got destroyed and then Beterviev, another one of those champions that is very big for Canelo and has a bigger puncher power than Bivol. Maybe he will let this two fight first and the winner will be Canelo's target for the belt and obviously it's for the money.
But if Canelo is only stay on super middleweight division, he wouldn't learn and improve himself to become the best boxers. I think Canelo is a challenger person and want to become a GOAT just like Pacquiao, he's not like Mayweather who only looking for money and his clean record.

Yes, I do agree, and Canelo has clean up the 168 lbs division so there is no challenge for him. So he may have to go to light-HW as some point in time. Or even go directly to Bivol after the Canelo fight.

He is chasing a 5th title, to be the one of the great Mexican boxers. And he can still fight maybe in the next 4-5 years so for sure he won't style at super middleweight division.
