I don't know why they think they can give this guy a second chance?

And since he is exposed already, I do hope that their projects will simple die. I mean there's no room for this kind of people. They have been proven scammers, they take people's money enjoy it and now trying to make another run out of unsuspecting victims.

I think $25k will be a good buy option, its just a question on when we are going to hit that price.

If people are going to wait, then probably this price will not be touch in the next couple of months. If people are buying even at the current price, then definitely we will not hit ~$30k. So hard to see what will be the floor prize at least for this year. So let's wait till April or at least the end of first quarter, lots of things could be in store for us, so better expect the unexpected.
5043  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: January 30, 2022, 09:18:56 AM
We are thrilled that manny has agreed to go ahead and Ugas has gone ahead to defend his title who once held the title. Ugas had co features and was preparing to fight on this date so he was ready. This is a big challenge as he now has to defend his first title against the boxing legend in a career defining fight. Ugas is prepared to take on this challenge I have worked hard and I know together that to fight against anything that manny will bring to the ring.
For me it's too early for Ugas to challenge Errol Spence, even he has beat Pacquiao but it's not enough. Ugas mostly play defensive and it's really bored to watch, while Errol Spence can play both offensive or defensive. Both of them ever fight with Porter in the same year (2019) the result Spence win while Ugas lose, it was a close fight against Spence but Ugas doesn't gave a good fight.

For me Spence will still undefeated, until he fight with Crawford... it will be 50/50.

If it's too early, then who would he challenge? I guess there's no other fighter that he could challenge to prove himself, it's either Spence or Crawford and I think here he is taking one step at a time, if he wins here, that will be the biggest win of his boxing career as he will be a unified champion.

I think Ugas has been calling many fighters but they don't want to face him. So it's good that after beating Manny, he will have to face another champion in Spence. So both have the belts, and this might be the winner facing Crawford next for unification. Others have expecting Spence to win here so that we will see a mega fight in the future: Crawford vs Spence Jr for the title of the best welterweight.

We won the Grizzlies bet but unlucky for me with my 76ers bet as the Kings gave them a hard time in the first half. Joel Embiid though managed to make a strong run in the 2nd half and squeezed a win.
I just dodged a bullet taking a bet for GSW. Even in live betting, I cannot see an opportunity to insert my support for the team. -8.5 was there for a long time even when Nets was on the lead before the end of the first half. Just went for overscore instead.


Just surprised that the Nets was able to come back in this game.

It's because the Nets makes a huge comeback in the 3rd quarter as well. They even took a brief 3 point lead in the 4th.

The last time I checked the score was 70-51 Warriors leading in the 3rd quarter with 7 minutes to go. It's good that your live betting didn't went it, it happens to me sometimes as the odds changes very quick and then the line open and closes very fast as well. Going back to the game, it was just 4 point win for the Warriors? And Curry just scored 19 points?

Curry didn't have double digit score in the 1st half as it was Wiggins who took the scoring load. But when the game somewhat become close, he hit some crucial three point and so is Klay Thompson. So still a a Curry + Thompson in the end to close out the show.

Only shitcoins have huge percentage holding by top holders, this is a game of death for real  Grin I exited a meme token because of this an few days later these whales started selling and the price was greatly affected, equally distribution of tokens brings balance to a project and erase the fact that one person can crash the whole project value just by selling his or her bag

So got lucky and exited on time bro, if not, they you could be the next victim of whales trying to manipulate the price of a shitcoin and meme coins. And right, this is a dangerous game that we are in because of this one. For us small and average joe investors, it's a game of death because we are putting our hard earn money and gambling it to make profits. But if this whales are playing, the whole game will change and to their advantage.
5046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 29, 2022, 12:57:39 PM
Heat will win this, I also favor them to win on their home court, however, the betting line or the point spread is very high, I think the Clippers will be able to cover it as they are still very competitive despite losing their 2 all stars (Leonard and George).  I know I will enjoy watching this game, I hope my expectation that it will be a close game will happen.  Smiley

Yeah, the Heat looks clearly the favorite in this match. However, there are rumors that Butler is questionable tonight. So it might be a close game if he doesn't play. It's also worth noting these teams have already faced each other this season, and the Clippers showed that they can beat the Heat.

I also read about that too, this season is really interesting because there's more factor we need to consider before we bet on our desired team as we can't know for sure in advance who will play. Rumor has it that Butler won't be around against the Clippers as he's still undergoing some recondition, I suppose. But he played and lead the game today together with Bam Adebayo while taking the advantage that the key players of Clippers is not around and he made 26 points

Final score: MIA 121 - 114 LAC

He did, but it was still a close game and I'm impressed with how the Clippers are playing so far. They don't need a star player like PG, they are playing well as a team, it's just unfortunate that they don't have enough talent to compete against a top team like the Miami Heat.

So they still need PG13 though, I think he is the heart of the team. Reggie Jackson is good but he doesn't have the clutch that George brings to the team. And they are in a roller coaster ride since George went down, in short they are inconsistent. Just like in today's game, when you think they will at least have a good chance, they fell short.
5047  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to hit $100k? on: January 29, 2022, 11:49:47 AM
So we might as well look at the next bull run to see and materialized a $100k or higher price. By the looks of the current movement, we are in the bearish cycle already.
Even in the next bullrun, there is no guarantee the price of Bitcoin to reach $100k. So, don't expect too much $100k, better to set your goal for a realistic price. To be honest, I am no longer expecting the Bitcoin price to achieve $100k, especially this year. I don't know whether we are in the bearish market or not, but the price must take a very long time to achieve $100k. It is only a dream to expect Bitcoin price of $100k this year, just forget it.  Tongue


For me there is no other price but $100k target for the next bull run, or least the price could land to 6 digits. The bull run in 2017 ended up in around $20k, and in 2021 its about $69k. So you do that math for the next great bull run. So there's no wrong of expecting a $100k maybe 2024-2025? Still a long way to go but hey, we can prepare right now and stack up sats just to set up everything and prepare for the future runs, just saying.
5048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 29, 2022, 11:17:55 AM

Bucks vs Knicks, The Bucks needed a win to snap their losing skid right now and the Knicks might be a perfect victim. And it will be in their homecourt so I guess -9.5 for the Bucks in this game.

The line is really too high considering that the Knicks is a decent team. But I like the line, it tells us to bet on the Knicks but what would happen in this game is that the Bucks will dominate them and win by more than 10 points, I hope my expectation will come into reality.

I'm with you mate, though the spread was pretty high, I'm still confident that the Bucks could defeat the NY Knicks for more than 10 points tomorrow and I have faith that they will bounce back in their own homecourt after their huge loss against the Cavaliers with 16 points.

Bucks will try to bounce back after that loss from the Cavs,

Taking the risk for the handicap might be challenging, but we know that Bucks can really cover this if they have
a good run during the game.

If still the combination of Giannis, Middleton and Holiday jive a good blend, it's worth the risk sparing some
coins in this game, Best of Luck!

Congratulations mate, and to all who put their bets on the Bucks. Surely it wasn't an easy handicap but luckily they've defeated the NY Knicks and managed to score 123 points with a 15 points difference.
As expected, Giannis led the game and made 38 points alone with ofcourse the help of Middleton and Holiday who also managed to contribute a total of 44 points.

Yes, it was a good game for the Bucks, Giannis another monster game and then Middleton was quiet early scoring just 9 points at the half but then finished the game with 20. And then Holiday, not just scoring by orchestrating the offense with 10 assists. So at least they are now back in winning form, good for 4th place in East.

@mirakal - congrats bro, no know the drill, will tail you again in our local thread, hehehe.

Daming laro kanina pero hindi ako nakapusta sa sobrang busy, hanggang tingin-tingin lang muna sa mga scores yong ginawa ko.

Dalawa lang ang laro para bukas kaya medyo madali lang pumili at yong Lakers vs Sixers ang game na tatayaan ko.

Sixers -3.5 @2.07 vs Lakers, Joel Embiid is on a beast mode at tingin ko yong numbers na pinapakita nya lately ay numbers ng isang pang-MVP.

Sabayan na kita dito sa Sixers bet mo against sa Lakers, home court pa nila so maganda na tong bet na to.
Siguro mag -4.5 rin ako 2.13 sa ngayon eh.

Mukang tricky ang Warriors at T'wolves, pero since sa home court ng Warriors baka kaya ng -6.5.

Dalawa lang pala ang laro bukas, sabay na rin ako sa inyo mga kabayan, mukhang wala na akong tiwala sa Lakers kahit nanalo pa sila sa last game nilo. Sa warriors naman, maganda pinakita nila sa last game nila kaya baka same result ang mangyayari. Ayaw ko ng table, kaya parlay nalang gagawin ko.

Lusot na yung Sixers natin laban sa Lakers, hindi ko napanood ung laban nila pero mukhang wala si Lebron James at hindi naglaro? Pahinga lang to siguro at wala naman reported na injury nya.

Mukhang tagilid pa ang GSW sa Wolves pero sabi nga ni @agustina2 - baka may chance ang Wolves kasi may sulot sila sa mga malalakas na teams.

Panalo ang parlay ko, walang tabla kasi parehong nanalo. Bukas na naman kabayan, try ko ring mag parlay ulit baka andiyan pa rin ang swerte ko.

Dalawa lang parlay ko bukas, Denver -5.5 at Memphis -4..  Best of luck sa akin. hehe.

Pa parlay parlay na rin pala ah hehehe, hindi ako nag parlay sa dalawa, madalas ako madale eh kaya single bet pero ok narin sa kin muna. Pero maganda yang parlay pag natapat talaga maganda ang odds.

Sige sundan ko yang dalawa mo ulit, single bet, ang daming laro kaya dapat picky rin sa tatayaan.

So goodluck na satin dalawa ngayon hehehe.

It is something that bugs me till today. Are they mostly newbies trying to find a path to enter cryptouniverse or experienced people who are just gambling to score a moonshot on luck?

This is the "meme" rank on coinmarketcap, there's millions on deflationary tokens with no effort from the "devs" at all. Just copy/paste a code, copy/paste a whitepaper, eventually pay few bucks for a domain and that's it.
Why people fall for that, yet?

Those who have invested on them are inexperience or who think that they can be crypto millionaire instantly. Just like what happen to the hype on Doge coin because of Elon Musk, many job on the bandwagon, pushing the price to ATH. And then those who are smart exited with profited and those who are inexperienced are left out and think that it can still go up. But they are trap inside and the only way to get out is to suffer some losses. So that's inexperience for you. A gamble that they could have won if they know what they are doing.
5051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: January 28, 2022, 12:38:38 PM
Seems Thurman is 100% ready in this fight. As per his interview:

Quote
What do you have in your sights for 2022?

“I want my world titles back. This is the first step to putting myself back in championship contention. I see the welterweight division like a horse race. Everybody is running full-speed trying to get to the finish line -  and the finish line is where you are crowned king of the division.

https://www.boxingscene.com/thurman-i-skills-reclaim-my-number-one-spot-147--163717

And from his own words, he wanted his title back, meaning he will contend to fight the best in this division. With the likes of Spence, Crawford and even Ugas, the welterweight division is pretty much on fire right now.
5052  Economy / Economics / Re: One nation one currency... on: January 28, 2022, 11:50:53 AM
From the beginning of humans, we have created boundaries between ourselves by lots of conflict over the century. Our greediness and eagerness for more power make us intelligent animals. Humans are capable of their own destruction. But what if those never happen? what will be the scenario of the current world if there is only one nation and one currency and humans invest their full strength for human resource development and the development of science and technology? What do you think is that even possible in the future and what will be the benefits and inconvenience of it?

I do think that this is possible and hope humanity can reach to have only one country with one currency. This would also mean to have only one government that takes care of all the people in the world. As long as that one country is based upon freedom and equality it should be the goal. The biggest hurdle to reach that a world is religion in my opinion. Religions are different all around the world, people pray differently and have different customs, and every religious person says that his god is the real one. Too many wars have been fought in the name of God. We need equality for the world to work together. The more technology advances the less religious people there will be. In a few hundred years we could have only one country on earth with one currency.

With all the conflicts around the globe right now? may it be political, or religion I doubt that we will have hope on humanity to reach an agreement and have one country with one currency. It will take a great deal on the leaders around the world to unite and form this one. Even in the UN and other governing bodies, like G7 there is already conflict and back stabbing, so this is not a viable proposal in my opinion.

How on earth that you afford to Keep holding mate? meaning you are a wealthy person that denies taking your big profit because you can still afford holding while you are one to be considered as Early Adopter ?

Man you are so great and this post is worth sharing, How i wish i have the guts to do how you portray your role being a Bitcoin Holder.

I'm not rich but at the same time I'm confident that I may never win the lottery, so BTC is my only chance to become rich and live a worry free life so until I see it happening won't sell a bit Smiley

Good mindset mate, I think I will go with it and hopefully I can be a good holder just like you.

Yep for those who are thinking of hitting a lottery, the chances are slim. So instead, it's better to invest on bitcoin, by all means possible, DCA or if you have capital from time to time and then just hold and protect it in your wallet. Maybe a good wallet like a hardware wallet will be a good one if you are thinking of doing what @virtualdn has done in the last 109 years.
5054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 28, 2022, 04:45:05 AM
Everyone seemed to be trusting the 76ers here to win. Well, as I always said, I still don't like the Lakers due to inconsistency, therefore I will also fade them tonight and go with the 76ers -4. Good luck everyone, let's win tonight.  Smiley

No LeBron tonight makes that a pretty good move. I’m still trying to decide if I want to bet against the Lakers or not. Surely seems like the right move. Might have to take a quick look at the odds before the game starts here in a few minutes. I honestly don’t think the Lakers can beat them without LeBron or AD, especially if Howard isn’t going to be getting minutes. Seems like a no brainer, but after yesterday’s no brainer worked out, I feel like this might be a gamblers trap. LOL, if there is such a thing. Still, Sixers got this… Maybe I will toss a few sats at them.

I wasn't aware that Lebron is not going to play, but I still have the Sixers with a handicap win so I guess everyone is happy in riding with the Sixers.

The Warriors vs Wolves game is still close though, I have -6.5 but they just lead by 5 points in the middle of the 3rd quarter. And the Warriors are strong in the 3rd quarter so I'm expecting that they are going to close it out with a good lead or at least have the handicap already.

Let's just hope that your analysis about this bullish scenario will come into fruition, but I believe most of us here are having this "too good to be true" mindset. Last year, we're thinking that it's possible for Bitcoin to reach $100k, but it didn't happen. Predictions are predictions, so 99.99% of the time it isn't accurate at all because of no astronomical guaranteed returns. The price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies right now are highly influenced by social media and news updates nowadays and how would traders react to that along with the mind games of these crypto whales. Always expect the unexpected.

Yeah, better had not to expect something big this year, specially on how things are shaping up this early. Last year beginning can't be compared to this year, last year we are still in the bull sentiments as the market is very positive and everyone is enjoying the run and build a good momentum to new all time high. And everyone is looking for that 6 digits that didn't happen at the end of 2021. And now things have change to worst as the market goes down to -50% of the last all time high.
5057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 27, 2022, 01:29:28 PM
I didn't notice a three-way trade that happened on January 19 and just recently found out about it so I had to check if someone did. Thankfully, there is one.
A brand new transfer is done. Juancho Hernangomez + 2 round pick of Denver goes to Spurs, Bol Bol and PJ Dozier goes to Celtics, Bryn Forbes goes to Denver with this trade. I feel like Denver is the only one that got a decent player out of this, nobody else really got anything. Spurs did not really care about what they got in return, all they cared about is emptying a space so that Primo would get a lot more minutes, with Forbes there it would be silly to give Primo minutes when you have Forbes, but with him gone then it will look a lot better to give him some minutes.

Celtics are just idiots, that is not a big change at all, and the only one with Forbes going to Denver, they have a great shooter at bench. He still lacked defense a lot, he is slow both laterally and any other way, but he improved his dribbling so I would guess he would be decent as a bench player.
Thanks, FanEagle. How did I find it?
NBA rumors: Celtics active in trade talks, but not expected to field offers for Robert Williams
Both Bol Bol and Dozier are heavily injured so yes, it doesn't add up. Are the Celtics giving up the playoffs this year?
They bumped their head now and got back to reality as Robert Williams will be untouchable for trade offers. That's good. But they said they are open for trades so who will they offer now? Schroder maybe?

I agree, it's weird that they are going to offer Robert Williams as I think he could be the future of Celtics at the center position. We don't know what the Celtics are thinking but maybe they think they have the bargaining power in any trades and could include Dennis and maybe someone that we think that is untouchable will be dealt a trade?

When he plays bad, the coach should not allow him to continue messing up, that's the role of the coach, put the players who contribute and not to mess with the team. If the coach was Greg Popovich, he would certainly bench Westbrook if he is shooting bricks.
Exactly, it's on the coach responsibility to act what's good for the whole team, there are other point guard that can play that role even LBJ can do that, though I doubt it this time around. Good thing it's just Vogel and not Pop and I think the notion to replace Vogel was the better decision the Lakers management may do, just an opinion.
start with the coach as it's easier to find a coach, if the new coach still could not handle the job effectively, then they should try to destroy the roster and that is by trading some high paid players, first in the list should be Westbrook, sorry for that. haha

Perhaps they just got Westbrook wherein he might be starting to decline as far as game play is concern. He is committing a lot of turn-overs, then bad shot after bad shot. When he drive and go for a dunk sometimes he is even block. Unlike during his prime wherein no one can go toe to toe with him when he is airborne. So yeah, it might be a good idea to trade and get other players that will jive with Lebron.

If we should take a look at the current price of Bitcoin in the market, with records from CMC, we will find out that the price in 24 hours time frame reaching the lows of $32.9k has turned round to $36k+ and still pushing, which is showing some good price swing from the downtrend to an uptrend with strong movements. This could be a very good sign for something good coming into the market. Though, it's just too early. Using the 1 hour time frame, you'll see how far the price has drastically moved on the reverse. I guess this could be the tag we have been looking for. Anything is still possible, but the positive response from the market is what we all wait.

Well hopefully it is a good sign, but we can't tell for sure as the sentiments really turns into a bearish one and I would say that retail investors are pulling out their investments right now. Maybe they will get back in the market when we hit $20k-$25, but we knows. So what I'm saying is that we should prepare for the worst in the coming months as it looks like they is turning out to be a bad year for bitcoin market. Bad year in a sense that we are in the start of a bear trend.
