4881  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So will the Tailand Baht symbol ฿ not be confused with the Bitcoin symbol ? on: March 14, 2022, 09:47:54 AM
Kinda remind me of this old thread:

[1]Bitcoin Currency Symbol ฿
[2]The Thai Baht (฿) has always been the most frequently used Bitcoin symbol right?

I'm not sure though if we need some changes to the BTC symbol. For me it's perfectly fine unless the Thai government petition it to be change since it's similar to their monetary symbol  Grin.

Sundan kita sa Nets, naka taya na ako ngayon maaga hehehe baka ma miss ko na naman ang mga laro bukas eh. 1.92 ko nga lang nakuha yung odds ngayon pero ok na. Malakas ang tsansa ng Nets na tambakan ang Knicks sa laro nila sa home court.

Parang ang tempting yan ha biruin mo -5.5 @ 1.90 sa stake ngayon, malaki ang chance na matambakan to kung solid ulit ang performance ng mga players ng Nets, kaya lang sa side ng NYK minsan maganda din nilalaro at kahit natatalo nacocover ung handicap, magandang bantayan to maya maya sa live game.

Good luck nga pala sa inyo at nakataya na kayo madaling araw dito sa tin ang laban kaya baka un iba na nakataya ng maaga bukas na nila malalaman yung result ng taya nila..

Hindi umabot ang Nets 3 lang ang lamang nung natapos eh, hindi ko napanood, pag gising ko tapos na laban. Pero halimaw pala ang laro ni Durant 53 points ang ginawa.

Ang natapunan ko lang na live betting eh yung Magic vs Sixers, nag Magic ako +10.5 nung lamang sila, 1.88 so pwede na kahit paano. At least rolling parin ang capital natin sa NBA betting.

At ngayon, after nating pumalo sa $45k at medyo bumaba sa $43k then naging volatile sa price nato, nasa below $40k na naman tayo.

Dahil parin siguro to sa giyera na nangyayari sa pagitan ng Ukraine at Russia, talagang matapang is Putin, patibayan na lang to sa dulo, gas ng Russia sa UE or sanction ng West laban sa kanila.

Pero syempre ang kawawa eh tayong lahat at sana lang makita ng buong mundo ang kahalagan ng crypto at bitcoin bilang hedge sa mga ganitong kaganapan para at least ma maintain natin ang $40k-$50k.
Very volatile ni Bitcoin ngayon, akala naten ay tuloy tuloy na ang pag taas nito pero hinde pa pala at muli itong bumagsak below $40k, at mukang matatagalan ulit bago makaangat lalo na ngayon na mas lumalala ang tension sa Ukraine at Russia, at nagsisimula na tumaas ang presyo ng gas.

Sana nga ay maging stable si Bitcoin above $40k, hinde man naten makita ang solis bull this year but at least we are still on a good price level.

Mahirap talaga ang market ngayon, so ang ipaglalaban na lang natin eh makita ang bitcoin na above $40k. At mukhang ang price ay magiging $30k-$40k lang. Pero sa tingin ko maganda parin kung dito lang sya maglalaro at hindi na babagsak ng tuluyan. Hayaan na lang natin kung makatagos sa $40k pataas sa future. Maraming pangyayari pa siguro ang darating na maliban sa war sa Europe meron pang negative news na darating. So sa ngayon ok na tayo sa $30k-$40k muna up to June or July.

Fight Butler and then knock him out, simply formula to get the attention of Inoue and his camp.
Or maybe the other way around, what if Inoue would chicken out after seeing how Casimero knock out Butler. We know that he is undefeated and working with the Top Rank promotion, would Bob willing to risk his cash cow against a known good counter puncher that has the ability to KO an opponent?

I don't think boxers are chickening out just because their supposedly opponent knock out someone. This game is about "machismo", - masculine pride. So Inoue will be more likely wanted to fight Casimero and show who is the tougher and who will be knock out. Bob though is a wise promoter, just maybe he will wait it out and try to milk Inoue more by fighting other names first. There was a rumor already that Inoue vs Donaire is going to happen this year so Casimero will have to wait and fall in line again.

Brooklyn Nets Vs New York Knicks play time 23:00 at today. I support Brooklyn Nets. That this team can win and I already have bet $200 interest rate as 1.43X for this team. What Do you think? this team can win? and is it reasonable for me to bet for that?

They are in a two game winning streak, while the Knicks is coming from a lost.

And lately Nets are on a big resurgence specially that Durant is back + the newly acquired Curry and Drammond are doing good. While the Knicks are on a struggle although they have some wins. But they are still below at 12th spot. I think your bet is reasonable so good luck.

I like the Nets here, taking the point spread is easy for me because they have a great performance in their last game and they beat the Sixers which is better than the Knicks. As I read on the status report of players, Irving is out in this game so it's only Durant who is the superstar that will lead the team but I still trust the teammates like Curry who were amazing lately.

Just like what I said on our local thread, I already lock in my Nets bet on a handicap, the ML is not that attractive, but with that good amount of bet ($200) I think it's worth the risk as the Nets is really the more solid team as compare to the NYK.

Durant may have to carry the team again, but the good thing is that Curry is performing very well and he is really a good addition. And with that said, the handicap bet could be covered by the Nets.

This is just the 2nd time this season Steph Curry ended up in a single digit in points. The last time was against the Miami Heat on January 3.
1/3/2022 - 9 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds.
3/13/2022 - 8 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds - Today.
But he didn't shoot much so that's okay. 3/7 FG 2/4 3pt
He didn't force it and just became the playmaker or used his threat to give his teammates an open space. That's unselfish of him and the Warriors are lucky he would sacrifice his stats for the win.
Draymond will be back next game, it will be a different Warriors again.

Maybe he is just showing off one side of his basketball skills? He is not known to be a playmaker, of course he is more of a shooter, but with Klay taking the shots outside, maybe Steph just think of becoming the point guard in this game. For sure if this is a close one, the complexion will be very different as he needs to score and help Klay. Let's watch Draymond next game, they need his presence in the middle and the energy he can bring to the team.

He doesn't care about the stats in my opinion, as long as the team wins, even if he doesn't score double digits that fine with him.

Remember that when Durant was in the Warriors uniform, Steph was not taking the limelight. And it was Durant who carry  the majority of the load in the regular games. So Steph is used to it, just look at how happy he was seeing Thompson to score the way he did damage to the Bucks.

Yeah, this is what I like about Stephen Curry, He is very down to earth in the court and focus on the win, He will step up on the game if he see that his team mate is not in a good shape to make a score. Actually this is the main reason why the 2 best sharp shooter stay in the same team because they compliment and give way to each other whoever has good shooting accuracy for that particular match. It’s very rare on NBA teams for a 2 same skill player stays in the same team for a long time and play together always as starting 5.

There are a lot of duo team before them, but maybe we haven't seen maybe in history because it's usually a big men plus guard, like Shaq and Kobe, or Malone and John Stockton. But you are right, Steph is just focus and motivated to win the game. He let Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole to be the main point in this game against the Bucks and it's a very good win for them as they are back in a streak and then they stop the Bucks winning streak as well.

Upon the ban of the currency, Nigerian youths still use the currency effective.

To my greatest surprised, Nigeria is one of the first five countries in the world having the highest number of bitcoin users and yet it government haven't come to the realization of this huge population of crypto users and think a way out to adopt it or reinstate back the access to transactions by it financial authority.  While their E-Naira digital fiat is nowhere to stand before the mass adoption of bitcoin in the country among the teeming  youths.


It's obvious that their government really didn't know what will be the impact of bitcoin and the rest of crypto to their economy. Just look at the numbers in Nigeria, it's getting traction since 2017 and yet government are trying to ban it? Doesn't make sense at all. Anyhow, for sure those statistics will continue and maybe if some liberal are going to sit on some higher and influential positions, their could be a change of stance.
4889  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price. on: March 12, 2022, 03:46:16 PM
at this time the identical bitcoin fell due to the war between russia and ukraine, fundamentally affecting 80% of the current price. and whether bitcoin can rise after the war is over, I think it certainly can ... whether the war is over or is it still happening bitcoin can still grow both the price and the technology that accompanies it because of many factors that can support bitcoin's to grow as a real future solution

The war didn't affect the price of bitcoin, 80%? that numbers is preposterous and it's absurd.

It won't grow after the war if there is no demand, and even if there is a demand, I'm not seeing another all time high. Maybe we can get and see highs of $50k'ish or something for this year. It really turns out that the bearish cycle is here so don't put to much into a great uptick in prices in 2022.
4890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 12, 2022, 03:18:18 PM
Too much speculation is not good, let's wait for the result of this fight, and let's see how Crawford and Spence would react to a possible big fight. AFAIK, Crawford is already willing to fight Spence, so if Spence would say no, people will lose respect for him as a champion.

for reference, ; https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/terence-crawford-calls-for-errol-spence-fight/206552

I think the main concern relies on the purse split why Spence seems to avoid Crawford. A 50-50 split is not making sense for Spence.

The reason? Between him and Crawford, the former seems the one that will make the possible fight profitable. He is a much-considered King of PPV compared to Crawford and that was proven already.

Maybe a 60-40 should be fine but I don't know if Crawford will like that idea.

Yes, that's one point of contention between the two, it's a super fight but someone needs to be the A-Side and Spence thinks he bring in more in terms of PPV numbers are Crawford according to him does not have the crowd drawing power. But let's see how it pan out, if money is in the table, for sure they can't ignore it any longer so they really need to fight maybe at the latter part of the year.

Nobody talking about LeBron James putting up 50 points for the second time in a week? This one was a pretty efficient shooting game as he went 18 of 25 from the field in the win. Unfortunately, he had to carry the team himself because Westbrook only got 5 points on 2 of 11 shots from the field. You hate to see it. I really hope Russ gets things figured out before the season ends and it looks like they could use AD back as soon as possible if they want to make the post season. Good win tonight though over Kuz and company.

I feel bad for LeBron, he plays great despite his age but the rest of the team is pretty weak. A 50-point performance is a huge success, and LeBron does it all the time. But as long as Westbrook plays, I think he is hurting the team, he needs to leave the team as soon as possible.
He must be aware that it doesn't do much

I'm sure that Westbrick is already aware of his performance as a Lakers because he has been criticize a lot by fans and the basketball public. It even involved her wife in the discussion. He is trying to do his best that's why Lebron needs to elevate and carry the team on his shoulder again with another 50 point performance just to stay above right now. Sooner or alter WB will be traded by the Lakers.

^^ In war it's always the innocent that pay first and be the victims. And obviously, this is the case with some of the Russians out there, I mean people there who are against Putin's policy on war and yet they can't do anything about it. Their money has no value now, so how they are going to survived? I don't think the government can help them as well because all their resources are going to at war with the Ukrainians.

I became friends with an influencer. She is a person who is great at auditing projects but she doesn't charge any money, she works for the people and investors and not for the projects.

I agree that we cannot say that all people who do such work are doing something bad, there are always exceptions. If that person is helping you and others to be successful in their investments and is not yet asking for any compensation, then this is one of those exceptions.

However, all those influencers that I personally had the opportunity to see on YT are not worth anyone's time, let alone investments. If you understand Bitcoin at least at a basic level, no one has to tell you what will happen in 1 or 5 years - look back and you will easily understand in which direction we are going.

Or we can say that everyone is really here for the money, it's that simply. Just a handful maybe that will legitimate help you out. But I would say base on observation, majority of the influencers and the major motivation for them is to make money out of their subscribers, regardless of their experience. And usually those who are loud and making a lot of noise in YT doesn't have any experience at all, and yet they still have a lot of followers, short of just they are blatantly scamming others with their so called experts advise.
4895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 11, 2022, 11:19:59 AM
The Nets routing the Sixers should be a good reason to never speak as if the result is already determined even before the game started just because they are "the best" or on a "good run". At least check the roster and see who will be playing. It's no surprise that KD and Irving could pull off a win since these two are scoring machines. They didn't put up big numbers but it was enough for a convincing win. Great job by Seth Curry too.

Instead of just one player scoring 50 points, a few players are scoring over 20 points, it's healthier that way. The biggest problem with the Nets was that there was more than one lead player on the team. But their game against the Sixers was pretty good, when Irving and KD can play together, we can watch great things. Seth was also very good in the last game Smiley

Nevertheless, I like how Seth and Andre are going after the Sixers decided to trade them vs Harden. They have been tearing and helping the Nets to win and this is a big win against the hot and streaking Sixers. So I think they are back in the game with KD and Irving and just wait till Ben Simmons plays.

They are sending a message for that win that Sixers is wasting their talents and look at the result they are struggling to defeat Brooklyn on that match and all of their  piece works pretty much fine especially Drummond and Curry. How much more if Simmons will play on this line up for sure this is a title contender team since they had more better chances for finals spot.

Usually though, players who are traded and then faces their former team plays exceptionally well. So Drummond and Curry has some every motivation in this game, specially Curry who scored a huge 24 points to help the Nets win against his former team. So now it's interesting on how Simmons will fit into the system of the Nets. Both is Sixers team mates have proven themselves already as Nets. So another pressure on Ben right now to play very well.

Ok balik NBA betting na naman, hehehe.

Congrats sa direcho ang tama, so mga games bukas heto tataan ko

Wolves vs Magic - Wolves -7.5
Memphis vs Knicks - although nagpapanalo ang Knicks, lately ang panalo ng Memphis eh tambak talaga ang kalaban, so -9.5 palagay ko kaya nilang tambakan ang Knicks.

Damn, Bob Arum really looks old, hehehehe, Shakur is the obvious bigger guy so no wonder why he is the favorite in this fight.

Valdez though said that he is affected by the negative news, calling him cheater and other stuff..

So we will see, Shakur commented though that Oscar has a big head, so he will target that, lol.

And after so much speculation about who is Joshua going to pick up as his new trainer (assuming this fight will happen), it seems that he elevated his assistant trainer to full trainer.

Quote
“I’m working with Angel Fernandez right now,” Joshua told Behind the Gloves. “He’s been in my camp for the last three years, anyway. He’s been in the last three world championships.”

Asked if Fernandez was now his “main” trainer, Joshua responded, “Yeah, man.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/anthony-joshua-says-assistant-angel-fernandez-now-assuming-head-training-duties--164592

So no high caliber US trainer for him, at least he will be working someone familiar so there will be transition whatsoever on his part.

Boxing is becoming like football where they just take the easy excuse out and start firing their coaches when it's themselves to blame.

I'm not familiar with football, but yeah I do agree that those boxers who loses high level fights or usually the favorite to win it and then was upset blames everyone in his corner except himself.

We've seen that to Deontay Wilder when he lost to Fury or Ryan Garcia who has fight recently and has been doing good with Reynoso but decided to switch things up win Goosen. When even Canelo says that Ryan doesn't give his 100% in training and obviously he is the one to blame when he almost lost to Campbell, getting knock down for the first time in his career.
4899  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is the price of BTC dropping? on: March 11, 2022, 08:47:00 AM
Because bitcoin is highly volatile. It has no fixed price. And also,there are many factors to consider why bitcoin is fluctuating. It could be the supply and demands. When the supply is being increased, that can have a downward effect on the price. But if the demand of currency increases more than the supply, the value will go up.
The price also drop down when there is bad a news happening globally. And i think the main reason why the current bitcoin price is dropping because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

That is already a giving fact, crypto is volatile and this is what traders wanted because it's either you know how to take advantage of it and make money or not.

But the basic tenant: law of supply and demand.

As for bad news, yes it could affect the price, but the market is maturing unlike before wherein every negative news equate to a massive downturn, not in 2022.
