4101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many ancient anonymous whales are there? on: August 14, 2022, 10:11:06 AM
Like people who explicitly bought or mined bitcoin with literally zero KYC back in the day when it was easy to do that. And are now moving the markets buying and selling. Is that still a thing or not?

I guess when bitcoin becomes an asset, store of value or even currency, the narrative has change. And then there are world financial bodies that want to control it, imposing KYC's. So yeah, that thing is gone already.

Or have pretty much all of the ancient whales touched an exchange or cashed out?

Maybe some of them haven't touch their bitcoin or cash it out. Others may have done it in succession every bull run, like in 2017 or 2021. Or some may have totally lost their access already, like this guy:

Baka nga mangyari yan pag nagkataong sabay-sabay silang ma da-drama haha biro lang, siguro di na kakayanin ng management at ni Steve Nash pag mangyari yan dahil halos wala nang matitira sa kanila at mas magiging vulnerable sila compared sa ibang team dahil sa issue nilang kinakaharap.

Pero pag nagkataon naman na magtino silang tatlo pareho ay sigurado naman na mahirap sila talunin at baka nga mam bully pa sila ng ibang team dahil pareho-pareho silang magagaling sa kanya-kanyang role nila.


Mahirap talagang talunin kung seryoso silang tatlo at maglalaro na magkakatulong, kaya lang masyado silang bilib sa mga sarili nila na talagang mahihirapan ang coach na i-handle sila. Biruin mo yun si coach Nash na yung coach nila na talagang nirerespeto sa industriya pero hindi pa rin sila napasunod sa system na gustong mangyari ng coach, may sarili talaga silang mga mundo at ewan na lang natin kung paano pa sila ibabalanse kung sakaling mag stay nga sila sa Nets.

Sa experience naman ni Nash bilang player wala naman talaga tayong masasabi, dyan, pero parang kulang pa sya bilang coach at nahirapan talaga sya sa 3 superstars na hawak nya. Pero hindi nama siguro basehan yun na hindi sya respetuhin ni Durant. Talaga lang siguro na gusto nya na sya ang may control o dahil iba ang pinanggalingan nyang system ng Warriors coach na si Steve Kerr na sya talaga ang alpha ng team at hindi ang mga players na si Curry at iba pang superstars ng Warriors.

I entered this forum because I feel that the potential for bitcoin is huge in the future and of course it will remain the king of crypto. So obviously I don't believe bitcoin will fall to $1100 for now. unless the 10 largest exchanges in the world go bankrupt. I see a bullish trend which will then become new ATH.
That was the mindset. Yeah, we are hopeful that everything went well in the future and that Bitcoin will never disappoint us. Despite of the situation whether it was bearish or bullish, we still invest and risk some money for this believing that we can make a huge profit in the future, not that we think its price will drop and gives us losses. We really think it was impossible as it was not how it looks like.

The only way for bitcoin to fall is maybe if internet is being cut-off, but that is out of the equation, internet can't be stop. Certain countries can block it no doubt and censor everything, but not the world. So yeah, bitcoin might fall in prices but it doesn't mean that it will be doom and will not recover our losses. Sooner or later a bull run with happen, it's that the way market is, there is a period of relatively bearish, but after halving, the price will go on a massive bull run and topping it up with a new ATH. And maybe we are talking about 6 digit figure in 2024-25.
4104  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum (ETH) on Its Way to $2,100, Top Trader Says ! on: August 13, 2022, 11:43:48 PM
Bitcoin hype was real but not for ethereum. I guess let's wait until the release of bitcoin mtgox and see what's gonna happen with the market. If so many holders from bitcoin mtgox wanna liquidate their bitcoin to the market and be careful a significant dump may come very soon. It's going to the 2100 caused by bitcoin was increasing steadily since last week but let's see how long this will be going on. Im bearish with the release of bitcoin mtgox.

I don't see the coins of Mt. Gox having an effect on the market, if it is then it will be just short term. As far as Ethereum, it has broken that $1,900 barrier for x times already. And maybe what I'm thinking is that if bitcoin breaks $25k and maintain it, then Ethereum will reach $2,000 or higher because of the merger. So we will have to see, everything seems to be very positive for now, all coins are green and seems to be bullish in short term.

I voted for Excited To Comeback, hehehe.  Win or lose, we are always looking for the next sessions, sports betting, card games and even slots. Specially if you end your previous sessions with a good win, for sure you will want to come back for more. And then if you lose, well, at least you enjoy but at the back of your mind, you are thinking to make a comeback and recover what you have lost.
4106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 13, 2022, 10:56:22 PM
I'm not sure the warriors owner or GM cares about the salary cap. They were over the cap this year and paid the luxury tax I believe. It's really just a matter of do they value Draymond and I think they do.

Maybe the Warriors value Green, but I doubt they will ever be ready to offer him a max contract. Honestly, I don't know exactly how much the Warriors paid the luxury tax this time. However, if the Warriors' owner and management hadn't really cared about the salary cap, they would've tried to keep the entire championship roster by satisfying the requests of some of the players who already left the team during this offseason.
https://www.spotrac.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/cap/2021/ according to this site, the Warriors owe 170 million dollars for the luxury tax of 2021-2022 season. I'm not 100% sure if I am reading that correctly, but it looks correct.

They also are 71 million dollars over the salary cap for 2022-2023 season so far.

It's obvious they don't care a ton about money or they woulda broke off some pieces before last season started. As long as the team makes a profit on the season, the owner is gonna keep over spending IMO.

And if you look at this stats:



https://twitter.com/LevAkabas/status/1558085896750202880/

So indeed the team owners are willing to spend millions if not billions of dollars to maintain their  championship DNA.

Just sad though that Clippers is still ringless as compare to other 2 California basketball teams (Lakers and Warriors). They have multiplied their values, Steve Ballmer really need to see that results.
4107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: August 13, 2022, 10:29:07 PM
So Bob Arum is being futuristic for Devin Haney and is expecting another easy win by the undisputed champion. Bob said that Haney will get a Lomachenko fight although the Ukrainian needs a tune-up fight first. Devin Haney will have a lot of options if he beats Kambosos again. Inside Top Rank, there's Vassily Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, Teofimo Lopez, maybe Josh Taylor too if he will stay at 140, and Jose Ramirez. Outside of Top Rank, there's Tank Davis and Ryan Garcia.

Yes, we all know that it should be Kambosos vs Loma initially, but because of the war in his native country, Loma wasn't able to do that. So it is just right that he will get a first chance against Haney after the Kambosos rematch to get that title back. For casual fans, might not be good and boring because of Haney's style, but that will be tested against the best tactician we have. So style makes fight here. It could be like Loma vs Rigo though  Grin

You can't blame us, LOL.. SMB has a huge number of fans compared to the Meralco, so it's just normal that we believe SMB will win. Next to Ginebra, it should be the SMB and it will be more entertaining to watch if SMB and TNT will play in the Finals.

It's more entertaining if TNT vs Meralco will play in the Finals. Cheesy

That will be huge if we see this 2 teams in the finals,  Angry

Just for a change as SMC teams are always in the Finals regardless of the Conference.

I'm looking forward to Meralco winning the series, not as their fan, but again for a change. They always lack short against SMC teams, especially against Ginebra and if they beat SMB here in the series, they will be recognized more by the PBA followers as they were able to beat the powerhouse Ginebra and SMB in All-Filipino Conference.

Meralco Bolts are still the underdog, so it will be good to bet on them with great odds 2.x. It will be a big task for the Bolts though, they need to play perfect specially in their defense, they will have to find a way to stop the big men of SMB.

But it good to see another do or die game, must watch for us, I have a feeling that maybe we will see OT to make it more exciting, hehehhe.
4109  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Breaks Past The $40,000 Barrier Again? on: August 13, 2022, 11:48:27 AM
It's just somewhat funny to go back to this kind of thread, the last update was May and we are talking about the $30k'ish barrier. And then  we went down and hit lowest low in $17,600 and now it seems the market is somewhat on a short term bullish trend.

and now we are going to attempt to break in $30k again, this is what I'm somewhat looking to see so that at least we may be safe to say that the bottom is in and we could be in a bullish run till December and maybe $40k is on the horizon.
4110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH could take over. on: August 13, 2022, 11:02:34 AM
Perhaps by now we should now why is there a hype on ETH right? it's because of the merger, a move to POS model for their network. And then you have to ask yourself, do we think that it is enough news and hype to overtake BTC?

Yes, it's the second biggest crypto, but we can't just simply see a power shift just because they will have the biggest and important event in their history. I will admit that it should be the news of the year specially if it will become very successful, but it's not enough to dislodge BTC if that's what their proponents is trying to drive at.
4111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 13, 2022, 10:30:13 AM
^^ We gonna support him no matter what, if he losses again, then so be it. But if by chance he avenge his defeat then he could obviously get the belt back and win it for the Philippines again.

And if they see their mistakes in the first fight and let Ancajas box the way he wants then maybe we can see him winning but it will be a tough battle for sure. As you have said, Martinez now has the confidence an wanted to show that it's no fluke taking the belt from Ancajas.

That confidence will be gone if Ancajas will bounce back and beat him. Well, we can also expect a trilogy as it's not fair if Ancajas will say not for another fight after he beats Martinez, and for me, that will make their rivalry exciting to follow.

Yeah, perhaps a trilogy will be in the horizon if Ancajas win and fans wants more of this matchup. Maybe the picture is that Martinez leads in the scorecard and then Ancajas hit his patented power and knock out Martinez for good to get his belt back.

That will be a scenario waiting for a trilogy to happen. And for Jerwin, he really need to bounce back here, we can call this a 'necessary victory' that needed and before a winner takes all 3rd fight is to happen.
4112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Teofimo Lopez vs Pedro Campa - Aug 13 on: August 13, 2022, 09:46:15 AM
Here is the final weigh-in,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze3TGRTPP6U

Teo Lopez - 138.8 lbs
Pedro Campa - 139.4

Lopez though looks very sharp, while Campa, I'm seeing somewhat of a weight drain. But we will see tomorrow. They still have at least 24 hours to bring themselves and eat and rehydrate.

Unfortunately, I check the sports bookies (stake and sportsbet), and so far only the ML is available.

^^ Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez is one boxing legend as well, hard to summarized his career, but you can see his records here: https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/319725

Maybe you can search about his fight with Juan Estrada in Youtube.

As for Boots Ennis, he will be the future of the welterweight division. Both Spence Jr and Crawford said that it's possible that they will fight Ennis down the line, if there is money on the line.

Ang hirap maglaro sa environment na may ganyang player gaya ni Kevin Durant. May Ben Simmons pa sila oh haha. Apektado rin ang ibang nilang teammates knowing may kakampi silang Durant na di enjoy sa paglalaro sa Nets.

Kaya lang, gusto man pakawalan ng Brookly Nets si Durant, grabe naman kasi ang hinahanap nilang trade package. Talagang kailangan ng isang team na sirain ang kanilang core lineup para lang mapapayag ang Nets na i-accept ang offers.

Pag nagtuloy yang ganyang demand ng Nets sa other teams, malabong ma-trade yan si Durant at magiging mas worst pa kung mag-stay sya sa team.

Oo, isa pa to si Ben Simmons na pang sariling kapakanan lang ang iniisip nya haha dahil maglalaro lang kung kailan nya gusto at kung di nya magustuhan ang mga kasama nyang players ay magiging isip bata nalang bigla. Kawawa talaga ang Nets ngayon sa sitwasyon nila kasi meron silang big three na parehong dramatic actors.

Hehehe, palagay ko hindi rin magtatagal tong si Ben sa NBA, sa susunod wala nang kukuhang team sa kanya dahil may attitude problem.

Ang ugong-ugong naman ngayon ay gusto ni Durant na ma i-trade sya sa Sixers dahil andun si Embiid at Harden, ano naman kaya ang kapalit dyan na iilan lang naman ang All-Star caliber sa 76ers.

Wala naman yatang mabibigay na player ang Sixers, Tobias Harris? Maxey? Malamang ma stuck up si Durant sa Nets itong season na to. Bahala na sya kung ayaw nya ring mag laro dahil hindi sya na trade.
4115  Economy / Gambling / Re: DUELBITS ASK FOR KYC WHEN YOU WANT TO WITHDRAW YOUR EARNED PROFITS on: August 12, 2022, 11:54:28 PM
The question is how much the OP is withdrawing that trigger the gambling platform to raise the alarm for him?

And I don't know if the OP is really a gambler or have experienced in sports betting that sometimes a gambling platform will ask for KYC when you withdraw as stated in their TOS. This is compliance to gambling and licensing bodies, because if they found out that they are violating it, worse case scenario is that the licnenses will be revoked and it will be hard for them to get a new one just to be able to stay online.
4116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: August 12, 2022, 11:25:46 PM
^^ Everyone is after the money, no more legacy or pride or try to be called the best in boxing. And of course there are styles as well, styles that make people buy tickets and wanted to see the fighters live to see how good they are like Tank Davis. But then again, boxing politics will stand in our for us fans to see if this fight is going to be made or not. But it's better for Shakur to just take one step at at a time, beat Robson in a dominant fashion like he did against Oscar Valdez and as I have said, go and unify the belts, we've seen Josh Taylor did it this year and Canelo has done that in 168 lbs. He should chase history first, before pursuing money fights.

4117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alt market today on: August 12, 2022, 11:10:04 PM
In general, the August market is better than the previous 7 months market, although many are still not recovered but indications for Bull Run are clearer, if calculated then there is an increase of more than 20% compared to the end of July 2022.

we are having a better August than July as the news around inflation is also starting to fade, events around ETH are being noticed by investors creating a certain fomo for the market. It can be said that those who bought 2 months ago are already profitable. The market is very unpredictable so it's impossible to say the bull season is starting so it's better to still be careful.

It's because of the merger of Ethereum, was a success on the test net and everyone was very happy about the result with no major issues whatsoever. So it bring positive vibes to the whole altcoin market, Ethereum itself is trying to break the $2k price, while Bitcoin going above $25k after a long time. So it's getting better as we goes closer to the last quarter of the year. Maybe this year will be a relief eventhough we are still in the bear market, but the price is not that bad as compare to 2018 massive dump, Ethereum went < $100 that time.
4118  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predicts Bitcoin price by 2025 on: August 12, 2022, 10:54:39 PM
We've seen the pattern already, it's like every 4 years we have a good bull run, 2017 and then 2021, and most likely 2025 will be a massive bull run too.

You don't need to be experts here, on the contrary, there are none. Everyone is just making their wild and educated guess. And if you have been here in crypto market that you have seen the bear and bull run, you will most likely will also can predict that 2025 will be very bullish for us.
That's the issue, we had a bull run in 2019 as well where we moved from 3.5k to 14k, and we had it in 2020 as well where we moved from 7k to 30k, and then we had it in 2021 as well where we moved from 30k to 68k at the peak (before we had a 64k to 30k fall in between). So yeah, it could be 4 years, but I feel like it could be 3 years instead.

Because, we had one in 2014 as well and if we take it 2014 to 2017 to 2020, then 2023 could be a big year. I am not saying that we will definitely break the ATH price, but I have to say it will not be that easy to keep it low, we will probably reach to a high price for sure and it will take a while but it will get there.

I'm thinking of maybe 2024 will be the start of a the big year for us and then 2025 we will finally see a big and massive bull run and reaching new all time high.

So the pattern will continue if that will be the case, and we can only hope that it will. The bitcoin halving will the catalyst just like previous bull run that we have experienced so far. But first, we need to survived this bearish trend, I know it's going to be very difficult, but at least the price has remained in the $20k'ish and maybe at the end of the year, $30k will be breach and I think that is good enough for 2022.
4119  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 2017 : 20,000$ - Bitcoin 2022 : 20,000$ on: August 12, 2022, 10:33:34 PM
Bitcoin 2022 hits low at $17k, how? I think $17k is indeed a bottom,
because this month there are a lot of altcoins that recover up to 100% more,
of course this can be a good signal that hopefully $17k is indeed the bottom of the bitcoin price, but I don't know,
if bitcoin can survive above $24k then this good, if not then bears are still dominating

Well probably we have hit the bottom at $17k and now been trading above $20k for weeks now after that last lower low. I'm not sure what you mean by altcoins recovering to 100%, if that is the case then it could have been a low marketcap coins, pump and dump scheme and pure manipulation and cannot be sustain in the long run.

We have reach above $24k if I'm not mistaken, then some minor dips, and yet there is no big one. Meaning that investors are now willing to at least gamble some money on the market in order to gain and profit either short or long term.
4120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 12, 2022, 10:19:54 PM
It is not just about him being a good player anymore though. Durant left OKC when he failed to beat GSW and joined GSW, then he realized everyone was injured and left for Nets instead to play with his buddy, then he is asking for a trade again. I mean it is a pattern, dude is not loyal and you could bet something for him, and he will leave you high and dry.

Do not give any players for him, if you could get him on free agent then it's fine, but do not ever get him for any important player, not tatum, not brown, I mean maybe others because they are not really important at all. In the end, he could just ask for a trade if he feels unhappy and you will left with nothing.
Excellent observation! I believe Durant went after what he wanted, to own an NBA championship ring.
I don't know if his attitude will change over time or something like that, but I also believe that if he is dissatisfied with the current team, he will want to be replaced and he will go after his personal goals and interests

I agree with the pattern though, that's why he has been criticized so much by some basketball analyst and even former players because he took the easy route, join a team that beat his OKC back them and then win championship with GSW. But when he felt that GSW is still Curry's team and somewhat hurt his ego, try to start his own super team, with Irving and later Harden, but it didn't work and now he want's to leave and try to join other team. His legacy will be affected by this move by Durant for sure.
