What is your opinion about this one?

Robert Bolick wants to accomplish what Romeo, Pringle failed to do at NorthPort

Bollick trying to prove something, will his confidence be able to help the Northport succeed?
Romeo and Pringle are two of the best players in the PBA now, Bollick seems to be setting a very high goal here.

NorthPort has been regarded as a farm team of the SMC group of companies because of the way the treat their players. How come you traded the likes of Pringle in exchange for a little worth of a value. I hope things will change upon the arrival of Cstand, the most promising player Batang Pier ever had.

With Cstand and Sean Anthony healthy, Bolick's statement of getting that PBA crown is of high probability specially in this Philippine Cup where it is a wide open race while JMF is out. If only he is healthy on the previous Governor's Cup, i think they would give a good fight against Ginebra.

I just hope that there will be no more changes on the current roster of NorthPort at least at the core. The management should rebuild the team around Cstand, Bolick and Anthony.

Not much to rely on to get into the Finals, but let's see, for me, these three are also good but only Cstand is the most consistent player among the 3. Anyway, they can actually improve if they want to, hopefully the problem is not on the coaching staff too as Romeo and Pringle are really doing better now on their respective team.

Don't know on what the management thinking for trading romeo and pringle since by now they are rebuilding up again, It's a wrong choice for them instead of investing in their circle and just add a inside defender the select to trade and got the fresh legs. I don't know if they can be a contender since I'm not impressed on their current rooster although King lion and C.stand is there still their game chemistry still questionable since they are new and the pressure is so high on them.
4162  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Become Negative in Value? on: April 25, 2020, 06:48:19 AM

What if the following happen:
1. A ban in the demand for bitcoin and a ban in the use of bitcoin.
2. Backing off of bitcoin miners from the business of mining?

Could these causes bring the value of bitcoin to something similar to the historic oil Price drop of $-37.63?

What do you have to say about this?
The first case is very unlikely to happen. We have passed that period when we got scared that bitcoin was going to be banned the world over. It rid not happen then and I do not see it happening now. The second case is likely to happen but I do not think all miners will leave at the same time. There are miners who do what they do for the love of bitcoin. Those miners will not leave.

That would be a massive pull out if that thing happens but how could they do that if they already establish and got a good benefit from mining bitcoins, can they do this with the the other alts? maybe yes but for sure its for short term only and for sure if all miners will not synchronized for sure there will be a different figures on results and I don't think they will leave bitcoins either since this is strong crypto among the others.

I tried playing dice I lose some money so I decide not to continue just hold for now because this lockdown may last for months. I'm starting to think of buying food supplies like thousands of cup noddles.

Who wins the dice? None lol.
Those kind of gambling game sucks. I feel like it was programmed to get your money.
You should play pvp gambling games like poker/ chinese poker instead of playing RNG games.
Another thing, you must be exaggerating with that thousands of cup noddle. That'll give you serious illness in your urinary lol.

Haven't have done much of gambling this time since the pandemic, I gotta save money for what ever may happen during the lockdown. Plus, sports were all suspended so I left no other choice but to play online games and avoid spending in gambling, at least during the pandemic lockdown.
Well, people do have their own preference on what kind of gambling game they would like neither a dice or strategy based one.
Yeah its exaggerated if we do talk about thousand of cup noodles.LOL! We do really need to save up money for this time
and i agree on what most people been talking on here that we shouldnt waste up money on crisis like this because we wont
know on when this one would end.


I'm really up to save money for now since the quarantine days still not undefined on when it will last and also I don't have any sports to bet right now that's why gambling times is limited on other casino games but always make sure right now that I only gamble the extra money I got since I don't know on what will happen if this pandemic will last for even next year then that would be a tragedy.

Since your account is new and seeking for a site to play the best thing you do first is to go here (Scam accusation section) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 since by this you can identify if the site is good and doesn't have past and existing issues.

And since you already got compromised the best thing you could do is to send a email to them and wait for response if there's no response even if many days past and you don't know on when this thing will be resolved a scam accusation post will be good thing to do so that they will be alerted and people knows that there's an issue again on their site.
4165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin spread rapidly on ‘China Twitter’ the price will rise before halving on: April 24, 2020, 12:33:36 PM
China will not be the cause of the rising price of Bitcoin...
China will only cause Bitcoin to get worse, I have no respect for China. *walk out  Cheesy
There's a hate to them but we can't deny that they can really pump the market especially bitcoin.

Well, China made a digital yuan so I think people in China are creating a hype with bitcoin so they can earn more money which we can also benefited on that. I don't care that much to anyone because I'm more focus on the price movement of bitcoin and we should keep watching it until the halving day.

I don't think people will focus on hate to china after all we need demands especially when halving case, Those things will fade out once their are good things happening in the market and we all know that Chinese have the capacity to do this and I'm actually glad that they are in good shape right now since it means that we can see a good market flow since.

Maybe in other aspect people will hate them since they are blamed for the current pandemic happening in the world.

This thread should be locked.

It's quite obvious that MegaDice isn't interested in addressing the concerns players have regarding their site, or even the flag that has been created on them.

They've been negged into oblivion and don't seem the care in the slightest.

Any platform that doesn't have even the decency to take the time to clear their name at a forum that is likely responsible for the majority of its traffic should not be used.

Best not to do it so that the compromised player have freedom to post their issues and concerns here so aswell the other could see how wrecked this site for not resolving the issue and seems they doesn't even care on what's happening currently since they ignore all the people here.

When did you contact them via email? They said their support has been drastically improved...

Two days ago

Best to send again and again let see how they react on the emails sent if still no response coming from them then provably they are gone already.

But for the - trust they get possibly they will not care on what's happening here.

So keep the money and save it for good or better give it to the contributor on known alts thread as Christmas bonus when Christmas came(Just a suggestion).
4168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH hits $160, after a +11% gainer in the last 24 hours on: April 23, 2020, 11:38:10 PM
ETH follows the price of Bitcoin !, when the price of Bitcoin goes up, ETH will also go up, this is very good for ETH,
most likely we will not see ETH under $ 150  Roll Eyes
Skeptic treatment is the key to keep the balance for not getting HYPEd but the majority of the ETH traders don't take care of the premise reality. The correlation between ETH and BTC is acceptable but the ETH doesn't follow the BTC in every trend, from my experience.

Maybe it justified if we can see the price of ETH will pump up even if the price of bitcoin will remain stable but as of now since things goes with the flow with BTC since if you look at what's happening on the ETH you can see that this is riding when BTC pump, and you also consider that the exchange is paired with BTC so any movements could really bring up to any alts including ETH.
4169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Analyst: "Covid-19 Could Spur More States to Legalize Online Casino" on: April 23, 2020, 10:27:38 PM
Don't know about governments asking it's people to gamble but people would certainly be much more attracted to online gambling in such circumstances. There are no clear future and people have very less thing to keep them entertained. Both of which makes gambling less risky and preferable.
For those people who want to save time on traveling for example a 10 kilometer distance from home to physical casino, then they might consider online gambling rather than going everyday for 10 kilometer travel distance. But for people who does want a real casino experience, those who are motivated with such noise in the casino, any distance is not a problem. However in times like this? Online gambling is booming due to the fact that we are in a state of lock down or quarantine, so I guess the only left choice if you want to gamble is the online.

Online casino is time saver since they can make the games instant at your house but the scenery and real impact of playing in real life is really different  and the intensity of games is so high compare to online gambling, but as of now we don't have a choice really since we cannot get out on our house and for sure the traffic on online casino got even more higher this days.

But I don't think by this it can make more states legalize the online gambling since in other hand this is still illegal and every state wants to protect their citizen from gambling addiction.
4170  Local / Pilipinas / Re: [Updated]Philippine SEC warns of crypto Ponzi Scheme on: April 23, 2020, 11:56:57 AM
Nag warning ang SEC patungkol sa cryptocurrency scam, particularly sa "The Billion Coin" (TBC).
Matagal na itong TBC sikat na sikat nga sya dati dahil sa patuloy na pagtaas ng value. Marami talaga ang naakit bumili dahil nga sa pagtaas ng price nya. Unfortunately isa din ako sa taong naging greedy kumita ng malaki dahil worth 5k ang hinold ko na tbc sa pag aakalang totoo nga yung claim na yayaman ka. Well obviously walang ganon, parang 2016 ata ito naging hype.

Yung mga ponzi scheme hindi yan mawawala hanggat may mga taong greedy kumita agad ng malaki at madalian. Kaya lang sa kagustuhan natin ng easy money, imbis na mag gain eh lalo ka lang mawawalan kaya pag isipan mabuti ang desisyon dahil walang easy money sa online.


Isa sa mga ginagamit nilang front sa kanilang coin ay tumataas ang presyo nito habang lumilipas ang mga araw at ginagamit nila ang statistic ng bitcoin bilang example na ganito din ang mangyari sa price at ma swerte ang early adopter nila.

ewan ko lang sa taong ito kung meron pabang nahihikayat mag invest sa TBC since super kalat at overused na ito at tiyak marami nang aware kung anong klaseng coin pero dapat parin mag ingat ang mga baguhan dito lalo na yung mga naghahanap ng coin na bibilhin at pagkakitaan.

At madami pang ganitong coin ang lumabas na same style ingat-ingat lang, at isipin natin na kahit anong offer na to good to be true ay markahan nyo agad na scam ito.

Just newly heard about this site and I'm not sure that they are good enough, I want to hear some feedbacks from the site users since I don't trust the site who conduct the review.

And also just a suggestion maybe you should not include Unikrn and Rivalry on selection since they are not accepting bitcoins for deposits.

4174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: April 22, 2020, 10:19:54 PM
NBA wants to finish rest of the season; start next season in December

Commissioner Adam Silver said if games resume, they would last “significantly later than June,” which would push back the start of a new season in the fall.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/21/nba-schedule-could-be-on-the-verge-of-a-makeover-if-league-restarts.html

I'll be glad if the NBA would finally resume.

However, how about the covid-19, what are their plans if there's still pandemic?
It's easy to say that they will resume based on their expected schedule, but TBH, I'm worried if they will be able to realize it.

I agree on what you have said which giving out resume schedule in spite of the current condition would really be hard.This would only give out false hope if ever
covid havent still yet resolved into that particular time (December).We dont know yet on when vaccine would be available so its really hard to tell
or to pinpoint dates.I know that they are already on that eager situation to make this season resume but if we dont have any choice then theres nothing
we can do about.


Maybe it's best for NBA to put a indefinite untill notice word since they don't know one when they resume and no vaccine for the disease for now so their urge to start this again is totally hard since this disease still uncontrollable so best for now to set up and relax maybe they should think about other alternatives they have NBA2K option which I think best option for now to entertain there fans.
4175  Local / Pilipinas / Re: [Discussion] Image ng Bitcoin sa mga tao on: April 22, 2020, 11:43:44 AM
Wala naman kasi atang bitcoin related movies o docu na walang illegal activities na ipinapakita kasi yun na talaga ang nakatatak sa kanila kaya ganito na lang ang image ng bitcoin sa iba. Pero sana marealize at mas maintindihan nila kung ano talaga ang totong pakay nito, hindi dahil sa ilegal na gawain kundi para mapabilis at makatipid sa mga online transactions na ito naman talaga ang isa sa mga layunin kung kaya ito denivelop ta patuloy pa rin...
 

 Kaya hindi maiwasan na isipin talaga ng mga tao na scam ang bitcoin dahil na rin sa illegal activity issues na nakadikit sa pangalan nito. Isa pa, ang nasa utak ng ibang tao kapag binanggit ang bitcoin ay automatic "scam". Hindi sila aware na mayroong technology behind na mas kapaki pakinabang na gamitin.
 
 Although, medyo niluluto pa ang reputasyon ng bitcoin lalo na sa bansa natin, marami pa din namang katulad natin na optimistic sa bagong technolohiyang ito.
Ganun na nga, hindi maialis sa imahe ng mga kababayan natin na ang bitcoin ay hindi investment kundi technolohiya na mapapakinabangan pagdating sa payment transactions, maaari itong magamit sa pagtatransfer ng pera between borders, sana ngayong dumadami na ang nakakaintindi ng bitcoin sana mapalitan na rin yung pagkakakilala at yung unang impression ng bitcoin sa bansa natin. Sana tuluyan ng mapalitan ang pagtingin sa bitcoin, hindi palaging naka-kabit ang scam practice kundi system na mapapakinabangan sa iakabubuti

Sad to say na yun ang kadalasang naiisip ng mga kababayan natin dahil kulang pa talaga tayo sa pagpapalabas ng information tungkol sa bitcoins at teknolohiya nito kasi di pa sya masyadong supported ng government at idagdag mo pa na kadalasang ibalita ay ang mga scams at nababanggit ang pangalan ng bitcoin dito kaya di talaga maiiwasan na mapagkalaman itong scam.
4176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This guy gambles and wins a total amount of £400,000 and quits while ahead. on: April 22, 2020, 10:24:08 AM
It's easy to say "I won't gamble if I win $100.000". But the problem is that everyone always have a feeling that it takes just a little more luck to double that winning. And $200.000 is much better than $100.000. And then you start losing. Then you gamble more to cover that loss. And then headlines start to appear: "Winning $100.000 ruined mans life"

Unfortunately the other situation for people who win that $100,000 amount or even higher is to gamble back again since for sure they will hope to win,earn more the same amount and to earn richest out from it since we can't deny the fact that winning such huge amount can cause addiction but that's not reflect or applicable to all and I'm impress with people who have self control which can able to hold their urge to play more on the games they like.
4177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: April 21, 2020, 11:52:29 PM
I'm just asking though.

And looking at the discussion it's likely that the comparison for MJ (past) and the current (LBJ) can't be ignored. But we as fans should stop comparing these two great players of our generation.

The same with the other discussions that I'm reading online after they've watched the docu.

why would we stop.. comparing them would give us some kind of a debate here, lol..
Everyone has their own opinion on whom they believe is better between the two, but I'm sure majority would vote for MJ and MJ has been the face of the NBA and the most recognize player in the NBA history, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's why I know and I believe.

If you have fans and fan boys for each player and each team they have played with this will be unavoidable. They will always save their own and even argue with bias since they want the GOAT to be the one who have played for their team. These comparisons doesn't even stop there since there will also be analysts, previous and current players, as well as other Hall of Famers talking about these kinds of comparisons so really there is no chance for this comparisons to die down.

We should really get used to into these kind of arguments or comparison since each person do have its own favorite as you say but we can really differentiate between the two in talks of achievement.
Im a LBJ fan but i cant really deny that MJ is way more better but as said, we are already on a different era so its understandable that there are people whom do see that LBJ is way more better.lol

Most people who say LBJ is great are those people who doesn't bother to see the MJ clips and full video nor even his past stats and the roosters he have that's why some says that he is greater than MJ but the fact is this talk about who's the goat and who is not should be done since I think this has been buy out already and for sure the media is creating hype so that they have scoop to talk about and earn with this discussion.

but overall both of them are great players and they have different role so maybe its best to stick with it.
4178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How bitcoins is helping during the lockdown on: April 21, 2020, 09:31:08 PM
Lockdown isn't going to put a stop to the Virus, people will get tired of been on lockdown and would react and to be Frank, who would want to invest in bitcon as of this time, what they majority are interested in now is the funds to feed and survive at the moment and even if they still go into bitcon, how will they get food items and others with it. But nonetheless I believe that they are some that will be fortunate enough to learn one or two things about bitcoin at this time that would really help them when the pandemic is over and as you rightly said Bitcointalk is the right place to start


It cannot stop but actually it will help the authority to control the spread and make their job at ease, so cooperation here is a must to everyone since if hard headed people doesn't cooperate with authorities and the number of people infected will still increase expect the lockdown will be extended as we don't still have a vaccine as of now.

All of us in the same boat so cooperation is needed since if we continue to disobey the orders we are not only hurting ourselves but also the economy since if government cannot flatten the curve of this case the they will collapse since the government have no income and economy cannot move due to this disease.
4179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This guy gambles and wins a total amount of £400,000 and quits while ahead. on: April 21, 2020, 12:54:35 PM
Josh Spurling decided to gamble out of sheer boredom since he was locked at home due to the current lockdown situation, and he gambled on two different occasions and on both he won big amounts totalling to £400,000.

It’s also pertinent to note that he’s decided not to gamble anymore as he believes to quit while he’s ahead, but something tells me he’s going to gamble again.

Now I know many will ask me why I feel this, so the answer is simple he’s already spending his fortune away quickly, and he’ll have more confidence in his luck so it’s only a matter of days before he gambles again.

Lastly there’re two important lessons we all can learn from him, 1) quit while you’re ahead and 2) don’t splurge your winning fortune quickly spend it slowly and wisely.

Quote

A SALESMAN won more than £400,000 in online casinos when he was bored during lockdown.

Josh Spurling struck lucky in two games just a few days apart.


Quote

The window and door salesman has already spent £50,000 on a house deposit, as well as presents for himself and his family including his daughters aged eight and three. A holiday is also on the cards.

But Josh is now giving up online gambling. He said: “I feel I’ve had my luck and I’ve done really well. If I carried on I’d jinx it.”


Source:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11442154/salesman-wins-gambling-online-coronavirus-lockdown/




If I win that amount for sure I will do the same since provably if he choose to gamble more a chances for him to lose back what he earn and good decision to quit so that he can enjoy his winnings.

For sure from this post many will attempt to gamble out of boredom and hope to win the same amount as him.
4180  Economy / Economics / Re: The drying oil on: April 21, 2020, 11:55:45 AM
But, why is the price be looking like this? It is not only the cars that uses oil, we also have a lot of machines that isn't running without the oil
Because cars are the biggest consumers oil and i know you know that. So lockdowns across the Globe means less demand. On top of all the crisis Russia and Saudi Arabia did something unusual after their stupid disagreements and decided to flood the market with excess oil.

You are also forgetting that more and more people are switching to Greener and renewable alternatives of Energy like Electric cars. Look at the trend of the graph, the price of oil may never achieve a new all-time high again

For now I think there's no effect for switching on renewable energy since actually electric cars globally spread since most of the car guys are still using a oil operated cars and the major cause that contributes for the current price dried up of the oil are the current lock downs happening on the world since if there are no demand coming starting from big factories to the lowest sector who use it well provably we can see more of this things coming.

And for continuously extending up the lock downs of countries affected for sure we can see more price decreased and this could hurt the oil industry badly.
