I would prefer to use mobile data over the public wifi.

Public wifi are usually operated by private, like in a big institutions (hospital, restaurant, and malls). All the logs can be monitored by them, and they aren't responsible of anything in case they'll try to look on what websites their users visited because it's just name public but it's actually private.

While mobile data which I find safer, our logs will direct to the ISP's server, it's just similar to having our personal connection at home, either through wireless of Fiber connection.

As we enter the 2024, many people are making plans on how to achieve financial success and personally I have decided that trading will be one of my area of focus. I'm gathering information on how to go about it. Your opinion will be highly appreciated.
I also have taken high consideration with trading. Although trading does not really guarantee a world full of profits but if you have wide experiences on trading, you will have a big edge to make it great with trading. The risks maybe high and may lead you to high losses as well, but there's no perfect trading, everyone loses and wins at some point. But if you have the skills and perfect strategies that may work in trading, then don't wait for trading opportunities to come to you, but grab the opportunities without no hesitation as trading can provide exceptional profits that will create big changes in your life.

What new changes would you like to see on Bitcointalk in 2024 ?  Or do you like the forum exactly as it is ?
Changes have been rampant early this year so I think the forum is now good enough except for the last change this year which is mixers will no longer be allowed. I think the admin should try to consider giving it another chance but it seems the decision is final and we won't be seeing mixers for good.

The meriting system is another thing. I hope to see changes on how these newbies have established their mindset about earning merits. The forum does not exist to provide merits but to educate the members most especially the newbies. I hope this will be an eye opener to those newbies that they should not rush earning merits as it loses the essence why they are in the forum in the first place.

Oftana is a full blooded Filipino, so I would be happy to see him being the future star of the TNT, like a main man. Most of the start players in the PBA now are not anymore a full blooded Filipino, so its very rare to see a kind of talent like him.  He is still young, so expect that he can still improve his game, and though we are already impress with the way he is playing now, but more experience will make him a better player, just like when Scottie was still starting in the PBA, and later he won multiple awards including season's MVP and Finals MVP.

I see him being one of the greatest shooter, but he doesn't have the capability of Scottie who could grab defensive rebounds due to his quickness. Oftana had the height, so it's hard to stop him when he is driving the ball, and with his high percentage 3 point shooting, that's another thing that will  make him scary to his opponents.

Too early though, but we have to be optimistic with this guy, they aren't building anyone better than him, so it's safe to say that TNT wants him to be their best player in the future. Castro may retire soon, they'll be needing a good PG too, I don't know if Mikey Williams would fit on the role, bu t hopefully he win and would learn how to facilitate the ball well.

He has really excel a lot this season, you can see his numbers ont he stats record below, he has a lot of 20+ points game, must be due to the absence of Mikey Williams and Pogoy that made him to produce more than hi usual, but at least we see how far he can go.

Anyway, it looks like PBA will resume this Friday as the countdown have change to 4 days and 17 minutes, as of this writing.

while the Heat look to have gotten some significant piece from draft picks and a couple of veterans, addition of Zach Lavine wouldn't be a downgrade, neither will it disrupt whatever chemistry they're trying to build now.

It's in the culture, whoever gets added to the team will play within the culture, meaning he has to earn his minutes, without good production and chemistry to the team, Lavine might not gain significant minutes. However, given his talent, and as long as he cooperates and does not seek for special treatment, and I think he can a good duo with Butler as Lavine also good in attacking the paint while maintaining his good 3 point shooting.

Let's wait until the trade deadline though, and see what will happen.

I'm just a newbie and I don't have other opportunities to make money irl because of my place of living and age. I tried already bounties and airdrops, but I'm not lucky in it. Thanks for your advices!!!
The first term that comes to our mind when it comes to crypto is investment. So I think if you want to earn without merely investing, that would be more likely impossible. Although signature campaigns are waving but seeing your current rank, you are still incapable to participate such campaigns and no manager will hire you with your current position.

 I suggest just try out investing and let's see if you are capable to make it work. With the knowledge that you will gain from the forum and from the experiences that have been opened by seniors, its not impossible to reap future profits as long as you only focus on bitcoin and maximize its accumulation and hold them like indefinite years.

Crypto investment vs real estate investment : Which one more dependable in the future
Though have been in the crypto space for quite some time now, I knew little about crypto. A friend of mine just introduced me to real estate investment.
Which one should I go for with a capital less than $2500?
Crypto and real estate investments are both dependable in the future. So it would be best if you engage in both of them to secure bigger amount of future profits. However, investing is not all about money but knowledge and skills come first. If you fail to secure your own knowledge and skills prior to investing, then any of these investments will probably not work in the future. Success does not depend on what type of investment you are entering, but it matters most on how you run your investment, if you are sufficiently capable or highly experienced with the investment you decide to take risk.

Now, with the discovery of Calvin Oftana having a star player quality, they'll become a tough team to crack, so it's a great move for TNT, as that's how business to be done, interest of the team over anything else should be prioritize.

This is the player that TNT should be taking care of, he is still young, has the height and the athleticism. .I would say he is a complete player, and his experience during the SEA Games help him boast his confident, that's why he is playing very good basketball now.

While Pogoy was out, TNT can rely on Calvin Oftana on their outside shooting, man, he is very consistent, so even if he is still young, I trust him.

I agree to that, Oftana is a 2-way player a quality that team really need to take care and for sure he can be the new face of this franchise, while Poguy is out and Castro is not getting any younger, they need someone who can be as reliable as how Oftana is bringing to them now, with good health and dedication I can say that he will get a longer contract.

TNT will make sure that he will stay for good and will provide whatever the needs just to keep him, we might not have that way to conclude but I'm pretty sure that MVP same with how SMC deals with their stars, they will give something that a player can't resist.

Oftana is a full blooded Filipino, so I would be happy to see him being the future star of the TNT, like a main man. Most of the start players in the PBA now are not anymore a full blooded Filipino, so its very rare to see a kind of talent like him.  He is still young, so expect that he can still improve his game, and though we are already impress with the way he is playing now, but more experience will make him a better player, just like when Scottie was still starting in the PBA, and later he won multiple awards including season's MVP and Finals MVP.
429  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you want to see in casino reviews? on: December 30, 2023, 12:32:14 PM
It would be better if there were real reviews from real gamblers. If the users are real then the feedback will be real too whether the feedback is positive or negative. If you write it yourself then the reviews might not be perfect.
I think we can achieve that if a casino will run a review campaign in a reliable platform like bitcointalk. At least know know those user hat will give a feedback and if we trust their reputation, we would believe that what they are saying is true. Probably that's the reason why some casinos had run a review campaign in the forum and campaign managers made sure to hire users that are reputable as well.
430  Economy / Gambling / Re: [poorbot.io] | Exchanger for Stake - fast, cheap, simple on: December 27, 2023, 02:04:45 PM
I don't really see the point of these bots frankly speaking. I just convert my BTC to crypto like LTC, Doge, XRP etc for free in popular exchanges like Binance etc and send them to sites like Stake etc.


I believe this is the other way around, though I am not too familiar as this is my first time seeing this kind of service, but based on my understanding, this works within stake platform only, not from outside to stake. I think this works like tipping an account.

I hope @poorbot could shed light a bit on our concern here.

Naka pag vote na ako pero ngayon lang ako mag post.

Si Hhampuz ang pinili ko kasi matagal rin ako sa roobet, natanggal nung nag downsize pero nakabalik naman sa ibang campaign niya. Sana maging long term rin ito para may extrang king bukod sa pagiging active didto sa forum.

Qualities ni Hhampuz talaga ever since are .

1-quick counting of posts
2- quick payment.
3- Minsan nagbabayad pa galing sa sarili niyang bulsa kung mag exit scam ang company na naghire sa kanya. Bihira lang campaign manager na gumagawa niyan.

Mensahe ko kay Hhampuz, sana wag siyang magbago, maging mabait pa rin sa mga participants niya at saka as always good health talaga.
432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 27, 2023, 11:07:49 AM
Biggest upset today!

Kings fall to the struggling Trail Blazers. Final score 113-130, it was a blowout win by the Trail Blazers, and I'm one of the victims who bet on the Kings thinking they'll get the win and cover the high spread.

Looks like the Kings are tired of playing on the road, LOL... Losing to the Blazers is embarassing, especially that they are building their team to be a playoff team.
Unfortunately, the same for me, I confess that I was surprised with the defeat of Sacramento
Sabonis and Fox had an excellent performance, in fact they carried the team on their shoulders, on the other hand, the Blazers had an interesting performance because most of the players, including the reserves, scored relatively well in that game.

I believe that a crucial point that also favored the Kings' defeat was the 3-point shots, they only had 23.8%, while the Blazzers had 40.00%, which in my point of view was a high percentage of success.

That's probably it, and you know sometimes even how good a team is, they also have their off night, and it so happened that Sacramento Kings had an off night and Blazers had taken advantage on that. 40% shooting, that's vey high, and it's not surprising at all that the Kings opponnents could shoot at a high percentage since they aren't really a good defensive team, what's lacking on them here is their offense and that's the reason why they loss.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 27, 2023, 09:18:04 AM
Murodjon Akhmadaliev is the mandatory for the IBF if I'm not mistaken, and it was him who own the belt before Tapales took it from him. So they can make that storyline of Naoya Inoue vs Murodjon Akhmadaliev next.

IMO, that story line might not be interesting. I'd rather want to see Inoue vs Casimero as these two have been hype even before so they have a chance to attract more viewers. However, if Inoue would choose to fight a mandatory challenger, then there's nothing we can do with that, and for sure the outcome would not be different, Inoue will still end up winning an easy fight, and most likely another KO win for him.
434  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone can succeed as a bitcoin trader on: December 26, 2023, 09:50:52 PM
Anyone can trade but not all of them will be successful in trading. Some will still be profitable while other fall into committing losses. And that's the reality in trading, it's hard to win, yet it's easy to lose.  That's why a lot have decide to leave gambling but focus on long term hodling. Investing alone brings less risks and less chances to be at loss, compared in trading where you will spend most of your time analyzing and trading in the market, and yet you're still not 100% sure that all will ends well.
435  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin HODL: what happens to Bitcoin holders during impressive price increase? on: December 26, 2023, 09:08:04 PM
There's no wrong if you decide to sell some of your coins and continue hodling on the rest. Selling in profits is what matters here. But it also depends on the amount of profits you'll be able to gain. If the amount won't meet my expectation, then I  prefer to continue holding where massive amount of profits is waiting ahead. Also, if you are not in need of funds right now, better not to sell and focus on hodling them.

However, we also have different mindset when it comes to selling bitcoin, and one's financial condition may differ from the other. So if you decide to sell because you needed instant cash, then that will never be a wrong decision. Your investment, your rules.
436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In The Span Of six months what will make you trust a new casino on: December 26, 2023, 03:02:23 PM
If six months after a casino launches its site and doesn't get any complaints or scam accusations from anyone, I think I can start to trust the casino. Maybe I will try to register myself with the casino, but I am not going to deposit any money yet and still want to wait a little longer to see the response from others. If more people are satisfied with the service provided by the casino, perhaps I will deposit a small amount of money to check and test the casino. And if there really are no problems during the trial period, then I will use the casino as a place to gamble. But I also won't deposit a larger amount of money to avoid losing a lot and things I don't want.

It would appear the casino only haave a few funds for the marketing that's why they are limiting their promotion time to six months. Are they able to ascertain whether the casino will be successful or not after 6 months?

No business could ascertain the success in the future as it's a risky venture, they take risk and hope to succeed. Marketing expenses are just funds they have to risk and hope it will result to building a community and attract gamblers to play and hopefully be loyal. Running a casinos nowadays does really requite a lot of funds, that if they want to stay competitive. And this budget for marketing or promotion is not only in a limited period of time as even these successful casinos now are still doing promotion, it seems like it's already part of the business operation, without that, a casino will be dull looking.

The decline i business is faster than the growth. Due to the competition in online casinos, the marketing of the casino actually shouldn't stop because once they do, the rest of the casinos who are keeping their visibility to the public are the ones going to keep gaining clients. Once Stake halts its campaigns, they will see the effect in less than 3 months.

It's on how these promotions are being manage, as there are casinos who spend a decent amount of money for promotion and yet they didn't achieve the expected result, so it's also a gamble on their part.

Suns come back strong in the 3rd,  38-27 to take a one point lead going into the 4th.

So another cliff hanger game we have here guys, let's see if the Suns can hold off the Mavs as Greyson Allen is waxing hot from the 3 with a big 27 points right now. I think it's good to see someone other than KD and Booker leading the way for the Suns.

Luka though, with another great numbers, double double with 38 and 10 already.

That only to give the backers a little home but the Mavericks have their own strong run as well.

3rd quarter belonged to the Suns, but the 4th quarter was for the Dallas Mavericks, and as a result Dallas won by 14 points, with 128-114 as the final score

Luka had 50 points and 15 assists, was probably his best performance this season so far. While on the Suns, Durant and Booker struggled to find their offense scoring below their average.

Durant 16 points
Booker 20 points

I also got cooked earlier on the Bucks game, and underestimated the Knicks, thinking they couldn't stop the Bucks for the second time after their one-sided loss a few days ago.
I think you are not alone, bettors would just bet on the Bucks that game as they were the better team, and the spread aren't high, so it's so enticing.


On to the next match, I guess i'll take the Heat to win at home even though they've been a hit or miss. The Heat will be without Butler, while the Sixers won't have Embiid, but I still see them beating the Sixers because they haven't won yet without Embiid in their lineup.



Great win on this gone, Triple JJJ take his game to the next level, I think he had a career high in this game with 31 points and 11 rebounds, and take note, that was 11-15, shooting, this kid doesn't play like a rookie anymore.

----

maybe people will stop comparing Chet and Wemby on the rookie ladder as JJJ is going to take over them.

You are the one in control of your own life, so whatever happens to it or whatever you achieve in life simply reflects on how you managed your own life. You get what you deserve because you work for it with the help of crypto. However, if you are waiting for big changes in your life without doing nothing, then you deserve to gain nothing because you did nothing as well. Whatever you sow, you will reap in the future. Just like if you plant good things, you will gain positive outcome as well.

Life is what you make it. You don't hold guarantees in life, so make sure to plant something good so your can expect good returns in the end.
440  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: New Trends Among Beginner Traders on: December 25, 2023, 09:15:05 PM
Has anyone else here noticed this too?"
I don't pay much attention to such discussions on social media. that's because most beginners just want to show off with the little trading success they get. maybe it can motivate other beginners, but that kind of thing becomes a joke for experienced traders.

just apply more trying and listening. talk less and share profits. focus on improving your skills. Don't pay attention to other people's chatter, unless someone comes to us privately and wants to discuss it. However, sometimes we need other people's thoughts or experiences to increase our knowledge.
Whatever the reason for beginner traders, I guess only beginners will understand also. Small achievement can turn big for them, just like small knowledge for them may actually seem that they know even everything. That's how beginner traders nowadays. They have this self-entitlement that even the real experienced traders in the market don't even bother to care.

Instead of talking more in the social media, which I really think will not be profitable for them, they should learn to increase their knowledge and develop more skills in trading. Trading is a battle of mind and skills, so it needs more time to be more proficient in trading and claim as a good and succeed trader.
