Try out this strategy, strike things quickly out of your need/want list and be content, so they no longer become a problem and hindrance to your plans to save/invest.

If you plan to buy a house for your comfort, and it is within your means, seek out a way to get it done quickly.

If you plan to get a car, as you feel you are ripe enough for it, and there's a means to get it, don't hesitate, get it quickly off your list.

if you plan to buy a home equipment, electronics or furniture,  and it is super important to you and your comfort, buy it and get it off your list.

The longer you wait at times, the more prices increase, things are not getting cheaper, the longer you wait the more the thought of this need bugs your mind.
Prices of houses decreases as they are being used but the price of land increases.
Cars? they're depreciating because a new model are launching anytime. Its just like smartphones that depreciates its price as a new model is released so its the same as cars.
Home equipment? Same as cars. As they are being used, the price of it decreases.

In general, I don't think that this is true. Prices increases yes because of inflation that makes the buying power of money goes down therefore, prices of everything increases from foods to cars to equipment. As for me, I'd rather invest my money than buying something like land or car. Delayed gratification is what I like to do Smiley.
4082  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Squid Game token crashes 99.99% from $2,861 to $0.003475, Twitter account gone on: November 02, 2021, 10:22:04 AM
A twitch streamer luckily caught it while he is on livestream here is the link: LINK
Do we need to pity those who invested in this project? I don't think so. Whatever we do, there will still be investors who will fall into these kind of scams.

Just a few hours ago, the discord channel of Axie Infinity got hacked and the scammer spammed a message and there is a phishing link there. Minutes after that spams, the devs deleted the announcement channel and in just a span of maybe 30 minutes or less, the scammers took $100,000 of the investor's funds.

The problem with some investors is that, we already knew that it is a scam and yet we are putting so much money into it to the point that they will be depressed if they lost that money. It is wrong but its the nature of the people to be risky because why not, you can get a huge money on it right Cheesy. This Squid game token is a hit or miss project and unfortunately for the investors, this is just one of the many rugpulls that will happen and will happen and will happen.

Well, if you watched the series Squid Game there is only one winner there. Same here with what happened. There is only one winner here and its the developer Cheesy.

Did anyone also just watch Celtics blow a 12 point lead at the beginning of the 4th and lose the match by 14 points at the of the quarter, fr Huh!

It's the second game in a row they're doing this, the blew a 9 point lead woefully just a couple of days ago at, that's with a few 2 minutes plus change minute at OT. Damn, I can't kind the right words, "🤡🤡🤡" would have been a befitting costume, If that's what they all dressed up for hallowing as

The comeback by the Chicago Bull to keep their number 1 spot is amazing where they able to beat the Boston Celtics with awesome runs in the 4th quarter where they were behind by 19 points.

You can't really close your eyes with this team or else you will end like the Boston Celtics.


The Bulls are raging like literally right now at the start of the season. They are now 6-1 and the top 1 overall.
The Celtics on the other hand though choked. They did the same as what Lakers did against OKC. The Celtics lead 17 at one point and only scored 11 points in 4th quarter. 11 points in 4th quarter only :X.

This Chicago Bulls is different right now. If last season the Phoenix Suns improved so much, now the Bulls are the one who improved heavily. The chemistry is there, lots of passers, they have shooters on perimeter and on three point line. If you will see on their roster, they aren't as strong as the ones who has superstars like now like the Lakers or Warriors but their chemistry is what is making this team at the top right now. I just hope that they can continue this kind of gameplay all throughout the season. I'm pretty sure that they will be in the playoffs.

Read somewhere that PBA is pushing for an import conference next.

It's November and I don't think they have enough time for it.

3 imports are now confirmed with a high chance of playing next. What do you think?
Just a few minutes ago, One Sports facebook Page posted the list of the imports of some teams and here it is:
Quote
Brgy. Ginebra - Justin Brownlee
TNT - Mckenzie Moore
Magnolia - Mike Harris
Phoenix - Paul Harris
Rain or Shine - Henry Walker
San Miguel - Brendan Brown
NLEX - KJ McDaniels
Alaska - Olu Ashaolu

8 out of the 12 teams confirmed their imports already coming the Commissioner's Cup. Some of them are the previous imports to other teams like McDaniels who is at TNT last time, Ashaolu which is at NLEX, Walker who is at Blackwater. New names such as Brendan Brown and Moore. Still the Ginebra don't need to contact another import because they already have their resident import and a reliable one which is Justin Brownlee. I'm already excited with the upcoming conference. We might see more highlights now that imports are playing Smiley.

P.S. They didn't include it in the list but the Meralco Bolts will get Shabazz Muhammad as their import. He played in the NBA for 5 seasons and a first round pick in 2013. He isn't that popular but just knowing that he played in the NBA is something already. He played in CBA and averaged 30 points there. LINK
4085  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach $100,000 in December? on: November 01, 2021, 11:31:23 AM
Because most of my friends believe that BTC reached 100,000 US dollars in December, so I want to discuss whether this is true Grin
Yes it will reach that price so spread the word, tell to all that Bitcoin will reach to $100,000 by December Tongue.
I just hope that somebody here knows what will happen to Bitcoin by December with 100% accuracy so that we can ask him/her if it will happen or not.

Let them believe what they want. Let them decide what they want to do and let them share their opinions unto why it will reach $100,000 by December. As for me, we all have opinions with this topic and for me I don't think that it will happen. Increasing almost twice the price right now in just 2 months? I don't think that it will happen. Bitcoin dropped to below $30,000 at July 2021 and for it to recover and surpass its past ATH, it took at least 3 months to happen. I don't see any reason either fundamentally or technically that will make the price of Bitcoin rise so its a no-no for me with this scenario.
4086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: will shiba inu coin beat bitcoin ? on: November 01, 2021, 09:25:55 AM
This is how Shiba supporters advertise their coin.
They will create a new account here with a name similar or at least associated with the coin, post a thread saying that a meme coin like SHIB will beat Bitcoin etc. etc. A complete nonsense way of advertising a coin Cheesy.

I will just take this as a sarcastic thread since there is no sense with it and we already know that this will not happen. Maybe the OP is a big supporter of SHIB to the point that he asked this thing Cheesy. Thanks for making as laugh anyway. I didn't expect for somebody asking like this. Maybe when another hype coin emerges, somebody will post it again like "Will X coin beat Bitcoin?" Cheesy
4087  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is easier? on: November 01, 2021, 09:08:37 AM
To those who are trading consistently, I would like to ask you based on your experience.

Which is easier in making a profit, riding with the hype, or waiting until the price will dip?

Most people say that don't buy when the market is bullish, just wait until there's a price correction and the price will dip.
So with your experience, I like to know which is more effective between the two.
Different traders will have different approach and answers with this for sure.
For me, I think... riding with hype would be better if we are talking only the profits here because if you manage to ride with a hype coin like right now its SHIB or the time when DOGE is hyped then you will double or triple or more your capital.

If we will add the factors like the risk on it, I would go on waiting for the dip or at least a correction. We don't know when a coin will be hype and we don't know as well when it will go down but if you managed to buy at the top and fell suddenly then your losses will be huge. Unlike with waiting the dip, your losses might be lower than riding the hype but still you might get some losses especially if the coin bought go lower than your buying price but if you believe that it will go up after then its all good.
4088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 01, 2021, 08:45:28 AM
People really going nuts for lamarcus aldridge right now.  He's having a great season so far and just joined the 20K point club.  A great comeback after retiring due to an irregular heartbeat scare last year.  I'm seeing people saying if he wouldn't have retired then the Nets would have won last year, and I think that's a valid argument considering they were a 1/2 a Durant shoe size away from likely taking it home without him.  Maybe in the playoffs he'll be able to step up and fill the hole left by no dominant true center on the roster...  We'll see...

He's actually one of the more actively and consistent contributors on the Nets which is a big surprise... Kudos to him.

I would have thought honestly that his game was outdated and a bit slow but he actually looks a lot more agile than on the Spurs.

The year off must have been good for him physically and mentally. And honestly, he's healthy which is the most important thing above all else.

I have to admit, I'm one of the fans who underestimated Aldridge, I was thinking that he'll be limited and his production would go down, but no, I was wrong, look at him now, it's like we are seeing an old Aldridge that dominates, and his shooting percentage is almost perfect.

In their game against the Pistons, he made 16 points but from a 7 of 8 shooting, how consistent is that?
I still remember when Aldridge and Roy are the top players back when they are still in Portland. Its just sad that Roy retired very early that time.

Now he proving that he can still help the team as long as he will be given enough minutes. He played 21 minutes with 16 points. His perimeter shooting + his ability to handle ball are still there like he is playing on his prime. He isn't as quick as he is years ago and its understandable but his perimeter shooting is his bread and butter. I hope that he will be healthy all through out the season because he will be a big help to the Nets both offensively and defensively.
4089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 30, 2021, 12:56:52 PM
They'll be less unpredictable with Kyrie Irving back on the floor as he can spread the floor, you can't play one on one with Kyrie and he will dance with you, so he is really a big piece for the success of the Nets as they build a big 3, without him, there's no big 3. I'm not actually impressed with their win as the Pacers do struggle this season so far.

Obviously, without Kyrie, I doubt the Nets would win in the ECF this season.

We've seen the series between the Nets and the Bucks, they were playing very well with Irving but when he got injured, things were different and the Bucks took that opportunity to beat the Nets.

Same story this season, the Bucks might just dominate them again if the problem with Kyrie will not be solve in time.
No. The Nets will not win the ECF without Kyrie.
We've already seen the effects of Kyrie not playing for them and we've also seen Harden exposed by the new rules of the game so without Kyrie, they will not be the ECF champions. It might be the Bucks again I think.

If Kyrie will not play, it will be the Bucks Vs. Warriors in the NBA Finals Tongue. I know I know it might be too early to say but this is only my prediction (and because I'm a Warrior fan as well and I would love to see them back in the playoffs after how many years).
4090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks either adapt or face death on: October 30, 2021, 12:32:42 PM
Luckily, things are changing rapidly and mainstream adoption may come sooner than we think. Do you guys think, this will happen within this decade or not?
Banks facing death if they will not adopt into what is happening right now in financial industry is kinda exaggerated at least for me.
I don't think that they will die gradually or will become bankrupt if they will not adapt but their business will be affected as crypto is getting more popular and popular.

Banks will stay because many people are using it. You are saying that crypto must be adopted by these banks or they will face death in the next years because you are involved into crypto yourself. Ask another person outside if what they will prefer to use. We can say that the people using crypto are increasing but the number of people that are using banks right now is enormous and many are comfortable with it. Some banks might adapt and some will just stay with their traditional way.

credits to @CryptoManiaks FB page in regards to the image

Imagine if you've invested it in Bitcoin instead of a fad that can be replaced in just a year or even not in the course of a year because another one will be out. An iPhone 4 at that time is most likely the price of what the iPhone X's by now but look how much price depreciation it brought over time, always be good on your decision guys and gals.
Well, not many knows Bitcoin at that time and people tend to spend more on some luxurious things rather than investing into some assets like Bitcoin.
I don't know if that is the nature of most of the people to be satisfied most of the time by buying things that makes them satisfy rather than delayed gratification.

Its a missed opportunity I must say and there is nothing we can do about it. The best thing to do is to balance out everything and prepare for the future. Maybe buy something that you want that will satisfy you and at the same time, invest into some assets. In that way it would be better for you. A win-win situation.

Dogezilla meme coin just rugpull hours back lol, over 300 BNB are been sold by the scam artists leaving people at huge loss, this will serve as a lesson for all those desperately looking for where to invest their money without proper research
When a craze like this is happening, there will be con-artists out there that will create a new coin that is almost the same name as the coin that is booming and after few weeks to months they will just get the money and walk away like nothing happened.

To all, nobody is saying that you don't need to invest into these meme coins because after all its your own money. Just invest what you can afford to lose especially into these meme coins that no use case at all. If you are just investing base on emotions and hype, better not to invest at all because it is the riskiest form of investing (investing using emotions).
4093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 30, 2021, 10:19:15 AM
This Nets game is hard to watch. Everyone outside of the stars is struggling badly. I think they’re being exposed for their lack of a big man now that DeAndre Jordan left and without Kyrie they struggle to find the role players open shots. I think they’re going to have to figure out a way to get Kyrie on the court and look to sign a big man somehow or it could end up being a rough year for them.
They still have big man in Aldridge although he isn't fast enough though compare to other bigs out there and we know what happened last year to him. It might again become a hindrance for him to be healthy all throughout the season. Overall, his height with additional perimeter shooting is just good for the team.

I just watched the highlights of the Nets and I think you're right. If they want to get the championship, they must make a way to get back Kyrie and play again. Just by seeing their roster, if either KD or Harden will get injured the team can't compete against playoff contender teams.
4094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 29, 2021, 01:53:29 PM
Utah Jazz are the only 4-0 in the current season will they be able to climb to the top and manage to get to the NBA playoffs again or the GSW will regain their spot after a long hibernation?

Klay Thompson is still not playing yet but is expected to play this season. what do you think guys?


Its hard to know right now whether Jazz will still be at the top this season or not but for sure they will enter the playoffs again.

I didn't expect the Utah Jazz to be at the top last season and they had lots of improvements but right now, there is a team that even Stephen A. Smith said that "Only the Nets with Kyrie can stop them". With a healthy Klay and Wiseman coming back, the Warriors might be on the top again. Lots of three point shooters and you have the best shooters of the planet in Steph and Klay. Lots of snipers and at the same time, baiters because they can bait you if you are the defender. You think that they will shoot three but you left the paint for them.

TNT is just too much for MAG to handle as they win in Game 5 and getting the championship of the Philippine Cup. 4-1
I like the adjustment of the MAG at the start of the first quarter. 2 big man set-up to lessen the productivity of Mikey Williams but they didn't stopped him all throughout the game. Best player is Pogoy with 19 points and Williams still got 24 points.

At the time I'm posting this, it is already the awarding ceremonies and it seems like you can't see the happiness in the face of Coach Chot unlike the players who are shouting and you can see on their faces that they are happy with what they got. I wonder why Cheesy. Kudos to the Magnolia still for getting the runner-up. No need to say what are the problems that Magnolia did since the conference is over. I'm thinking now that Magnolia must trade most of their guards and get some big players. They have too much guards in their roster. My opinion only.

The Finals MVP is Mikey Williams and its kinda expected already just by looking at his stats all throughout the Finals. Well deserved by him and the championship of TNT.
To the next conference Smiley. Anybody knows when will be the next conference starts??
4096  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Shiba Inu Coin a better investment than Dogecoin? on: October 29, 2021, 09:09:24 AM
Neither of these projects have a valid use-case. They are meme-coins. Speculative gambling at best.
I’d be lying if I said I never owned any. But just a few dollars here or there. These aren’t serious projects for real investors. And they probably won’t be around in the next 10 years.
DOGE will stay but SHIB will not... or maybe it will.
The DOGE community is the reason why it is still here right now even after how many years. SHIB community is just here for more than a year and we don't know if it will do the same with DOGE or not.

TBH, I don't like investing in meme coins so investing in both of these coins are no-no for me. This is a very risky investment that if you want to risk hoping that you will earn profit then just put only a small amount. SHIB is full of hype and it will be full of hype until it has a use case. With regards to both of them not existing after 10 years, SHIB might not but DOGE will.

For those that want to invest into SHIB, good luck to you and hope you will not get burned Cheesy.
4097  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Community means everything on: October 29, 2021, 08:56:56 AM
When a project is just posted by an influential person in his social media account, many will believe that it will be the next thing and that is what happened to SHIB.
If Elon didn't tweet anything related to it, do you think that it will reach what it had reached now?

Well, I believe that Elon helped SHIB to get a community behind it but it doesn't change the fact that the recent rise of it is sustainable. There will be a time that large holders of SHIB will sell all of their holdings, taking their profit and let those average and FOMO'ed investors to cry because of their losses. As for me, I will never touch this meme coin or DeFi token as they say. I'd rather invest into some other coins out there which has a lower risk than investing into this meme coin.

Congrats to those SHIB holders for their huge profit though Smiley. DOGE and SHIB are meme coins still Cheesy.
4098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling addiction is getting real on: October 29, 2021, 08:36:00 AM
lost 20k in 2 days , used up all my profits from my portfolio , and i just wanted to keep on going . how you guys stop yourself from betting/gambling on casino ?
When I'm still betting, the largest loss that I got in only a day was around 20$ and at that time I'm already disappointed on myself and felt regret in the end because of how large I lost in gambling. After that I moved away from gambling sites, spend my time in playing online games until the time came that I'm no longer into gambling and I don't want to gamble again because I don't want to get addicted.

Losing $20,000 in just 2 days is already huge if you are just an average person but if you are a rich one, this amount is just a small percentage. Either way, losing this kind of amount is kinda depressing but its good to see that you are moving on with what happened to you. At least you learned a lesson here that just focus on trading and disregard gambling.
4099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 29, 2021, 06:41:02 AM
We can start putting our bet now, the early we bet the better as TNT had the momentum and they'll make sure to finish the series tomorrow.

The early spread is TNT kaTropa at -3.5, I'll take it as Magnolia has no answer on Williams.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/basketball/philippines/pba-philippine-cup/matches
Take it. Base on the wins of both teams, the wins of TNT are by double digits while on the 1 win on MAG it only a single digit so getting a -3.5 spread for TNT is almost a sure win if they will win today and finish the series.
Kinda risky still since many are still expecting for MAG to at least extend the series to 6 games. There are 3 things that they need to do in order for them to win.
1. Stop Mikey Williams or at least lessen his points.
2. Defend the three point area.
3. Lessen the turnovers.

As for me, I think too that TNT will finish this series today but still nothing is certain until the final buzzer sounds Smiley. Good luck for those who will bet on TNT.

This is a very subjective topic because not all experienced the same thing Smiley. OP experienced the good side of airdrops and got profit from it. Not all airdrop hunters have the same experience as him and TBH, my estimation is that more than 90% of the airdrops turned out to be either useless, a dead coin or an abandoned project.

I still remember Uniswap, which started as an airdrop and now it is one of the top DEX'es already. Lucky for those who got UNI tokens from airdrop and held it because they got 100% profit Smiley. As for me, I didn't get the opportunity to earn thru airdrops.
