Did bitcoin just become a history in 2021 ago where the price of bitcoin was able to get the most expensive price of $60k and was dubbed the most expensive price in bitcoin history.
And Could there be more history in this year or the price of bitcoin will end up below $60k.
And EFT may return to support bitcoin as it did in 2021 which gives mainstream investors exposure to bitcoin that will be the starting point for the crypto industry and drive greater acceptance of the digital asset on Wall Street.

What do you mean? for sure you have heard 'all time high'? and that's what we achieved last November.

We might be in a bear market so expect the price to really go down this year.

Forget about ETF? we have been in existence and have reach new height regarding the price, We heard it like in 2018 and so far there is no sight of this ETF.

Hindi umabot ang Nuggets sa Warriors, nananalo nga pero hindi na cover ang spread, isang shot na lang sana abot na. Pero ok lang bawi na lang tayo bukas.

Wala pa naman akong napipili para bukas, baka memya na lang ako maglagay kahit isa lang at kung kakayahin ko pa ang live betting bukas, kung masingit.
4903  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your expectation on: March 07, 2022, 05:04:54 PM
We have heard all the news about countries deciding to make bitcoin as legal, the latest being Russia and Ukraine as they both are also in some political problem. Obviously with this new statement that has been made on bitcoin status in those countries, it could be regulated by the government.
What is your expectation of bitcoin ?
I was expecting something big changes to happen in bitcoin market since last 10 days but nothing happened anything like that which mean the political tension between Russia and Ukraine is not significantly impacting bitcoin market anymore. At the same time, if they are making bitcoin legal in their countries then stories will be completely different but I wish war cannot be a reason for bitcoin to get into bullish mode, basically.

I am not having any changes in my view on bitcoin market since the times of last ATH occurrence. I mean there are still plenty of chances for bitcoin to get into $100k levels by mid of this year. Pandemic crisis are settling down and we may see peace talk progress from Russia hence expectation of $100 is still alive with me.

The effect of the war is confusing, initially the price went down the minute Putin goes on live TV and declare war. But after that, the price seems to be not affected as we goes up like to $45k in matter of days.

And now the market seems to be very different, we are now below $40k levels, so there is a retracement that we are seeing and maybe this is because of the war or something else.

Thanks for all the comments in this thread, as usual, I have to lock this after 24 hours of the fight.

As most of you are hoping, Gonzalez vs Estrada is the fight that we all wanted to see so there is still hope that the fight can be made this year. And congrats to those who won their bet on this fight.

Heto ang nahuli ko kahapon, live betting, dikit na dikit talaga ang laban at as OT ba nanalo ang Nuggets.



Mukang hindi maglalaro si Curry at Wiggins at Thompson ng Warriors vs Nuggets. So Nuggets ulit ako -8.5.

You have to understand that he is still a rookie, and therefore he is bound to make mistakes and this first season is his learning experience. He should be better in the next season if the Rockets would still give him a chance to play more minutes. Green maybe not delivering our expectation, first the favorite in the dunk contest, and he lose, and it looks like he would also not gonna win the ROY.
Yes, I agree. Green has a lot of room for improving and he is just starting that. Gaining experience and soon the consistency will be there.
Rockets is actually a strong team but they are young, prone to mistakes and bad choices during game time. I wish Rockets management will build on their trio, KPJ, Sengun, and Green. Let them have their chemistry and not trade them for anyone.
That lineup is not enough to be a championship team, or a playoff team, just my personal opinion though, but I think they need a real all star to join them and lead the team. This team is used to be a good team, they had Harden, it was a playoff team but later Harden was traded, and WB as well.

So not much expectation for the team now, but let's see how the management will experiment to improve the team next season.

Don't make a quick judgment yet, who knows, they might surprise us and be in the playoffs next season, at least getting in the playoffs is already a big success of this team that does not have many high-paid players. If there's still room for their salary cap, maybe they can just add some players without letting go of the role players of the team and the starters.

Personally I also don't think that the Rockets will improve under the current lineup, they need to add or let go of some players if they want to improve. They have the whole season already and they are at the bottom now in the West with 16 wins and 48 loses, so it's hard to expect a sudden big improvement in the next season.

You also have to look at how young the Rockets are, they are too inexperienced and that's one reason that they are in the bottom. They need someone to lead the team, so it's going to be very difficult for the management as well to get the right personnel, and spending big money to acquire that superstar. They have done it before, getting Harden and Chris Paul and it almost work getting a championship if not for Curry and the Warriors.
4907  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull Run in Bitcoin on: March 07, 2022, 01:43:54 PM
It is very difficult to predict with certainty when there will be Bullish and Bearish bitcoin going forward because there are so many factors that can affect the market going forward, let alone the adoption of bitcoin by large institutions is increasing. However, as a long-term investment bitcoin is still very profitable going forward.

Taking that factor into account, we may say that we are in a bearish situation.

You just have to look at the price, in a span of four months, the price goes from an all time high to currently $38k. And then we have the negative news, like the war and still the effect of covid-19 is still around us. Definitely, if you are going to look at it, better to invest for long term, or at least wait for the next bitcoin halving and then the eventual bull-run.
for now I prefer bitcoin to be invested in the long term, but if you want to get a small profit maybe you can also use it now, but it is still very speculative in my view, the current condition of bitcoin is in an up and down condition, very difficult to control in the short term, so from that I prefer long term investment now, the effects of covid-19 and the latest war cases are affecting bitcoin for now, but we don't know for sure how long this will end

Yeah, why not? there are traders who really take advantage of the volatility of bitcoin and still makes money in the bear market. It might be very difficult though, but still if you have the experience then go for it.

But for those who doesn't have the time, it's better to invest, DCA or buy during the dip and then just HODL.
4908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 06, 2022, 06:42:38 PM
"Desperation." Said Lebron James while being interviewed.
Yes, I think that's the right word for it, and what better team to win a game is against a struggling Warriors. Lebron put a show with 56 points 6/11 behind the arc. He almost did it all because they badly need a win after their long streak of losses.

Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this is the most points that Lebron score as a Laker so it's a big accomplished. And superstars like him, come up big in crucial time as they are really on the desperation and needed a break and for sure they are very happy to win a game. So whether they build a momentum with this huge win or goes back to losing again, it's up to Lebron again.
4909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Usdt are safeheaven to avoid volatility and goverment restrictions on: March 06, 2022, 06:04:07 PM
It's pretty obvious that this kind of crypto are there to help investors fight volatility. So it can be used to hedge your money if you are afraid that for example, bitcoin might go down. But we really don't know if stable coins are back up 1:1 in terms of cash reserves, that is the main argument against them for many years now. So holding them now doesn't mean you are holding US dollar, of course they could be pegged in US dollar, but what if there is a rampant withdrawal? sort of a bank ran? So there is the danger with using them as so called safe heaven, for me, it's better if you put your wealth in crypto like BTC.
4910  Economy / Speculation / Re: If Russia goes full Bitcoin adoption on: March 06, 2022, 05:35:45 PM
Hi Guys,

i would like to discuss a thought.

Russia is experiencing heavy sanctions by EU and US, especially the SWIFT Ban from the EU is a hard one.
So what would happen if Russia went full adoption on BTC as this would be an unregulated alternative.

In my opinion, this could throw BTC in a black hole, as US and Europe would be forced to ban or regulate it to death. (Quickly)

What is your opinion on this topic, lets discuss Smiley

Kind regards
AD

Doesn't make sense that the West will have to go to the length and ban bitcoin or put a heavy regulation just because Russia is using it to circumvent the sanctions.  If they do that, bitcoin and the rest of the crypto will be another casualties of the war.

It's already enough, economic and financial sanctions have been imposed on Russia already. They will suffer a lot, of course they might be thinking of using bitcoin now but there could be other ways that the Russian government can survived this game. They have allies outside like China that can secretly help them.
4911  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How I Missed Out of a 10 Year Bitcoin Investment Plan on: March 06, 2022, 01:55:58 AM
I think even some investors hold their Bitcoin for few months or years after buying at early stage, probably after seeing a major pump they already sell their Bitcoin not knowing it can increase further. So now we come to realized the wrong decision we committed for not having trust about Bitcoin.

Not always the case. I personally spoke to one who exited at $10k. That was his target, he felt sure it would go even higher (this was in 2017) but he'd held for as long as he'd planned, and exited according to plan. I don't think he looks back with any regret. It was life-changing at $10k, as I'm sure it was life-changing for others at $68k, as I'm certain it'll be life-changing for others down the line, who've held with the same beliefs.

Yeah, I think there should be no regrets who those who have some price in mind before they exit.

Maybe the issue is for those who exited early without any plans, just buy the hype before and then when the price goes down and s*t, they panic and hurriedly push the sell button.

And those are the same people who are now regretting it, even going to social media to rant about their stupidity. But who knows, no one see bitcoin going into 5 digits or even 6 digits in the future.
4912  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bear Market thread on: March 06, 2022, 01:16:56 AM
May kinalaman kaya ang Russia at Ukraine crisis sa pagbaba ng Bitcoin?

Biglaan na naman kasi ang pagbaba (though hindi naman unusual) na akala ng iba ay tapos na ang bearish season. Kalimitan kasi may specific reason na nakakaapekto sa market na dahilan ng correction. Ano sa tingin nyo?

Hindi naman siguro kasi crypto ang bitcoin kaya hindi masyadong affected sa crisis. In fact, meron ngang news na i legalized na ng Ukraine ang bitcoin sa kanilang country, kaya tingin ko positive talaga. Actually, hindi naman puro paangat ang crypto, gaya ng dati, meron ding bear market.

Mahirap talaga mag speculate pero tingnan mo ang galawan, pag atake ni Putin lagapak tayo sa $35k.

Tapos biglang angat sa almost $40k, tapos ngayon pag gising ko ng madaling araw lagpas $41k at mukang mag $42k pa to.

Kaya kakaiba ang movement ngayong ng market. Although naniniwala rin ako na nasa bear market na tayo, pero hindi ito katulad ng galaw nung 2018. Kaya obserbahan parin natin ang epekto ng giyera sa pagitan ng Russia at Ukraine at ano ang epekto nito sa market.

As of this writing, nasa $43k+ na ang bitcoin sa coingecko at mukhang patuloy pa itong tataas.

Di kaya resulta na ito sa pag-ban ng Russia sa SWIFT at yong mga Russians ay sa bitcoin/crypto nalang nila pinadaan yong pera nila?

May nabasa kasi ako na isa sa mga option kapag tuluyan ng ma-ban sa SWIFT ay yong cryptocurrency kaya makakatulong ito sa pag-angat ng bitcoin pansamantala.

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.
4913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 06, 2022, 12:47:21 AM
James Harden must be enjoying his game at 76ers now. His statistics so far proves this I think. And he was great last night too against Cavaliers. He had a big role in the victory there. But the game was still really close as Cavaliers made a big effort too. They also are one of the very impressive teams this season and they really seem like they will do a good job in the playoffs like I think the same about 76ers too. We can watch a really interesting playoff stage this time I believe.

Yeah, Harden fits really well with Embiid and both seem to be happy to move on from diva teammates.

However, with Harden he has a track record of starting really strong and then fizzling out as his relationship with the front office deteriorates. So definitely don't hold unreasonable expectations for him.

They can really make a run if Tobias Harris is contributing this year.

Yeah Tobias seems like the odd guy out here.  Watching the games it's almost as if he is an after thought.  They are giving 5 points tonight to Miami.  Should be a great game.  Gonna pop it on after the duke game is over.  Not a huge fan of Harden and his game but I hope he meshes and figures it out in philly.

Tobias Harris should really step up in this game, could be a good shooting game with Herro on the other side. Remember that his name pop up in the conversation on the trade involving Simmons. But now he is safe with the Sixers but he should perform better this year otherwise he could be in the trading block next season.
4914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Real life utility question on: March 06, 2022, 12:15:52 AM
Is crypto now more than a speculative asset or just the same old thing based on hypes only because it seems like real life use case is far from crypto, we want it to happen for real but it's really not happening, what is stopping this from happening already.
We are in a period that a token has a purpose to gain support and investor, it can't just exist because it's a fork of these tokens or coin investors will look for usage and purpose, investors are losing from the pump and dump coins, yet developers keep creating speculative coins the only way to stop this is to stop and ignoring these kinds of coins if no one will invest no developers will create.

That's what we call investors maturity, I mean those who have been in the game already knows that newly created tokens with no utility whatsoever are just for short term investments because they are going to be used for pump and dump by the developers to enrich themselves and the only losers are the investors. But we are hardened by the experience, only new to the market will fall for this copy cat and fork coins that don't have any utility at all.
4915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 05, 2022, 11:47:41 PM
Really wish we can just finally see Spence fight Crawford.  That would be an epic fight.  Expecting Spence to take care of business here.  Hopefully they can work out the fight details to get the Crawford match done.  Would be one of the fights of the year if they can make it happen.  

Agreed. However, Terence Crawford's next fight will be vs. Keith Thurman. According to some articles, Ugas wants to fight Crawford if he wins but it appears Errol Spence wants to avoid Crawford if he wins. I reckon the promoters might organize this when they are already not in their top shape similar to Brook versus Khan.

Oh yeah? I think I didn't heard about that because the first rumored fight of Keith Thurman is against Donaire but again it was just also a rumored one, anyway we can only do some speculations and the promoters will have the last say if indeed it will be good for their boxer, or if the is too good. We cannot really know for sure if who's going to face Keith Thurman next.

That's all fake news, this guys are a bantamweight fighter, just 115-118 lbs, so there's no way that they are going to jump to 147 lbs and fight Thurman. Unless you are a Pacquiao or Canelo Alvarez.

We will see who is fighting who base on the result of this fight. Lots of rumors going on, of course the big fight we all wanted is Crawford vs Spence, but still Spence has go and win against Ugas first and then they can sit down and talk about the money and purse. I think that's the big obstacle here, both  wanted more money because they think they are the A-side.
4916  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: March 05, 2022, 11:21:25 PM

Sixers -6.5 @1.89 vs Cavs, ganda na talaga ng laro ni Harden na para bang gusto niyang ipakita ng karapat-dapat na siyang manalo ng championship sa season na to kayo palagay ko tatambakan na naman nila ang Cavs.

I'm still not sure kung mananalo ba yung 76ers ng championship this year. Pero sa pinapakita nila ngayon with Harden in their roster, mukhang malaki nga ang chance.
Mukhang may misyon talaga si Harden kung bakit isa sya sa naging 75 all time player ng NBA, at mukhang good fit sya sa Sixers.
IMO, big 4 sila ngayon composed with Embiid, Harden, Maxey, and Harris.
Mukhang maganda ang takbo ng playoffs sa Eastern conference this year hehehe.

Oo nga, yong si Maxey ay talagang may future sa NBA kung hindi lang magka-injury. Pangalawa na sila ngayon sa standings sa East pero may chance pa na makuha nila yong first sa pinakita ni Harden and company, hindi pa nga sila natalo simula noong maglaro si Harden.

Talo nga lang yong bet ko para sa kanila kahapon, hindi na-cover yong spread hehe.

Sixers +4.5 @1.90 vs Heat, mayroon sigurong hindi maglalaro para sa Sixers kasi bahagya silang underdog at pagod pero sa kanila pa rin ako pupusta kasi ang Sixers is an exciting team to watch for now.

3-3 na standings ko  Sad, humabol pa yong mga talo hehe.

Talo ako kahapon hehehe, hindi nga nacover ng Sixers eh kasi naman pinabayaan nila sa una eh tapos hahabol habol sila. Ganun din ang Phoenix,

Sundan kita sa Sixers mo, maganda rin naman yang line na yan.

Ako rin talo ang standing for this week, sana maka bawi tayo ngayon.

Initially Martinez didn't make the weight and the fight could have been jeopardize.

As per report, he was fine 20% of his purse for not making the weight limit for this class. But the fight will going to resume .
4918  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin surpasses Russian Ruble - now top 15 currency on: March 04, 2022, 07:34:37 PM
I can only speculate on bitcoin right now, perhaps when the war is over and people again started to realized that maybe bitcoin could be a good hedge and store of value in extreme cases, maybe it will remain high but not into the tune of we will see a new all time high. Perhaps enough to say that we are somewhat in the middle ground, as others may have said that we are in a bear market, but at least no drastic and dramatic down ward spiral.
4919  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: March 04, 2022, 06:06:52 PM
Mukhang maganda ang laban ng Celtics vs Memphis, pero sa Memphis ako -3.5.

Nets vs Miami Heat - kung maglalaro na si Durant +3.5 sa kanila, maganda rin ang ML bet para sa Nets kung gusto nyo ng dehado.

Medyo delikado tong dalawang laro para sa mga road teams brader kasi yong Celtics at Heat ay napakaganda ng kanilang laro lately pero kung babalik si Durant ngayon, may chance ang Nets na manalo rito.

Nets -2.5 @2.04 vs Heat, mukhang maglalaro si Durant kasi slight fvorite na sila sa odds.

3-1 na ang standings ko this week, hindi pa lugi hehe.

Talo mga taya ko hehehe, kala ko makakahabol ang Memphis, pinilit ni Ja Morant na dalhin ang team pero maganda rin pinakita ni Tatum sa home crowd.

Tapos and Nets naman kinapos, naglaro is Durant pero may kulang pa talaga sa team.

Nag live betting na lang ako sa Clippers laban sa Lakers at buti nakadale kahit paano.

Suns vs NYK - Suns -6.5 o kaya baka mas mataas pa dyan sa spread, mukhang nagkakalat na ang NYK ngayon.

Here is the statement from the 4 governing bodies of boxing:

Quote
The four governing organizations responsible for overseeing boxing title matchups around the world -- the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO -- announced in a joint statement that they won't sanction any such bouts in Russia because of the invasion of Ukraine.

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/33381629/boxing-governing-organizations-sanction-title-bouts-russia-due-invasion-ukraine

So it clearly states that any fight in Russia will be sanction. It didn't mention about Russian fighters not able to fight outside of Russia. So I think this is still a go fight in May 7.
