5122  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I quit smoking and buy Bitcoin every week on: December 11, 2020, 01:20:43 AM
Hey folks,

I decided to quit smoking today and buy Bitcoin every Sunday. A pack of cigarettes I smoke is 8€. It cost me 56€ per week. So every Sunday, I will buy Bitcoin without checking if the price went up or down. Even if it goes to the moon, I will keep buying. I will edit this post frequently in the future. This Sunday I will start investing 56€ in Bitcoin every  Sunday. I will keep this doing as long as possible and let's see what is going to happen.

I believe that at least I will invest in something that I believe, instead of wasting money on unhealthy cigarettes. Maybe some of you can do the same.

Wish me luck Cool

The best topic I read today hopes you get what you wanted. I really admire such a courageous act, please keep going on, you're not only saving yourself but you can also save the people around you. With the price of bitcoins keeps rising, I'm sure your deeds will be fruitful after some months from now. Maybe it's hard for you these days but keeps moving forward I'm sure you can do it and this time it's yourself who decides it not the doctor.

Cone hopes to have Slaughter, Caguioa, Devance back in 2021

What do you think guys, is it possible to see Slaughter back with the Ginebra line up?
It seems like Slaughter is still getting in touch with the team as he even congratulate the team for the win.

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/greg-slaughter-congratulates-barangay-ginebra-via-twitter-a795-20201209?ref=feed_1_section




That would be big if that will come into reality, getting a better Slaughter since he was training in the US would be a boost to the team's defense and offense and they can be fully prepared as Fajardo might be able to play in the next conference.

He is already done for Ginebra maybe right now he is on another track of his career as a pro basketball player. I remember seeing him play when I was a teenager he is skillful and can do his thing on the court. he is such a secret weapon for Ginebra, I'm also hoping for his return and will unite with the legend Mark Caguioa.

Criminals can use physical currency too and we don't blame the currency they've used for their crimes instead we put the blame on the criminals themselves. However, those hypocrite media has gone too far with putting Bitcoin as the main issue when some crooks used it as their main props. We need to change other people's mindsets by countering those media who put blame on Bitcoin when it's not really necessary and the real culprit is those criminals instead.

5126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do the odds of other outcomes matter to you? on: December 10, 2020, 11:27:47 AM
Prefer to bet on the teams or players of whom I know and have done some research about their chances of winning as against their opponent and accordingly only do place the bets. For other events odds may be high but if without knowing anything just placing the bets on such things is like blindly guessing it without having any clue which I avoid it. Only if for other higher odds I am sure about the team winning chances and can place bet on just 1 of the games then I would choose with higher odds.


I would do thesame thing (research the teams) if I consider that my method of determining the odds could be better than what others have determined for us. I guess that's part of the reason many don't bother doing the research themselves... they blindly guess.

I don't think that is it.

There are a lot of people that are betting their money in these games not just because they wanted to but because they know a team is in favor(higher odds) which also means that they have certain knowledge about the game and the teams. I think they don't just blindly guess but they predict based on what they know.

Yeah, most of those who bet on that kind of team know what they're doing and have their own research before the matches begin. Just like in our local NBA prediction in our local board the other guys who bet on the team they've chosen know what happened to the players on that team and any other updates they know that too. To assure a higher percentage of winning on their bets.

If you really want to compare AD and Lebron with a duo in the past of the Lakers then it could be Kobe and Pau.  Wink
Pau also shoots the ball from the outside and is defensive on the inside.
Davis is just better with his versatility.
If he will gain more experience then I am sure he will dominate even the best forwards of the league.
The good part is, he has his own style that plays a big role for the team.

AD is some kind of player that appeared only in 20 years, in other words, we haven't someone plays like him before in the last years. he has some unique skills and lots of room for improvement. I hope these duos with Lebron James will bring them back to back championships this upcoming seaon.

If they want to do it, they could have done it long ago but those are not really important because every year projects are evolving and most of the time they create something innovative than the last time but they still belong to the category of Altcoins and maybe next year we will see another trend than what we already have now like Defi. Nevertheless, it is convenient to see such kinds of topics on this board we can classify them anyway if we are avid readers of this board.

These transgenders are ruining the sports of women and no one can deny that these people have more strength than ordinary women. I can't believe I'm living in this kind of world where these kinds of nonsense exist. I think the problem is to those sports associations where they let this kind of thing happened and the sport will be more played by transgenders in the future.

Just watch this video every women's sport is ruined now.
5130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Effective tips to maximize low wager slot games on: December 10, 2020, 07:35:45 AM
will take a look on those slots Karl, honestly i'm not really into slots which the minimum bet was $1 for me i really find them really huge or maybe i'm not really just into slots since i'm more on a strategy person like playing on the dice game and other casino games.

With that high amount of minimum bet, no wonder people lose their capitals so easily and the odds are too low to win the slot games like this. I agree, most gamblers prefer dice games than this one especially Hi-Lo games that most of the online casino have.
5131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Airdrops or "Scam-drops"? on: December 10, 2020, 06:53:23 AM
I agree with you and I think this is because crooks want to make money on gullible people.
Previously, those who did  an Airdrop, set a goal to attract people to his project and put to their project like a child but now everyone only thinks about money...
people have not yet forgotten how to believe because scammers sometimes earn.

There are plenty of such scams because most of the people had joined some legit airdrops and they have their own stories about it. like how they easily promote it and get some huge amount of money from that promotion. nevertheless, the people who fell victims are those who are greedy and cannot see some hype about the campaign and they quickly jump to promote it without some research about the project.
5132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Back then and Now Non-believer to Believer on: December 10, 2020, 06:16:27 AM
I was so much curious about bitcoin some years back and end up scammed up my hard earned money which make me fearful and negative towards cryptocurrencies.
But slowly i have learned a lot of things, experienced more and i'm changed and now things have changed. Now i am a hodler and very positive for the future and will always be consistent in it.BTC

Now everything is clear especially when you look at the current price of BTC in the market. those who hold their BTC from the beginning have now earned so much and those who bought from last year's bearish market have now got some decent amount of income because of the sudden surge of the price in the market. I wonder if it's gonna hit some new ATH these upcoming last days of the year and I also wonder how long do investors can hold their BTC with this tempting price in the market today.

It's a surprise that China and the USA haven't on the list and most of the time when we talk about gambling those countries have some dedicated cities for casinos like Las Vegas and Macau.
5134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do people understand what market cap is? on: December 09, 2020, 01:41:44 PM
Marketcap is a very simple formula

Marketcap = number of coins * price of coins

Instead of coins, you can use "number of stocks" for companies, to know the market value of a company

This is a simple formula and I don't know why most people don't understand it. The market cap will determine the value of coins and their popularity. When its market became less valuable and the demands become low, then it's volume will become useless.
5135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What you should need to consider before trading cryptocurrencies? on: December 09, 2020, 01:07:28 PM
We have to consider our preparation. In every opportunity that we encounter, we should always think how prepared we are? Trading cryptocurrency is not a gamble wherein even you really don't have an idea if you know the rules, you can win instantly. In some ways, you can beat the market but most of the time you lose if you don't have knowledge and preparation.

You really need to have some experience in doing so, you need to sacrifice your time and little money to know exactly what are the things to consider when trading with cryptocurrencies. But you need only to invest time and money that you will have no problem when it's gone or something has gone wrong with your investment because it's just for practice purpose to gather some experiences.
5136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - February 20 on: December 09, 2020, 03:18:32 AM
Mayweather is past his prime fighting in real boxing matches that he opted for exhibition only, there are now great boxers now like Spence and Crawford, why not come back and make history again, this will not up to his legacy he just after money going for the easiest guy to beat in the ring, no way Paul could win against him.

This must be the most valid reason you can get but he can go after someone who has enough strength to beat him if he wants to have an outstanding exhibition match and can get huge money if he is after money. These guys are truly legend they know how they handle their money and when they still out of the battle, they can still make money.
5137  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP Rallied by 91% In The Last Month on: December 09, 2020, 02:33:02 AM
XRP rallied by 91% in the last month, what could be the reason behind it? There is also news speculating that Ripple (XRP) will reach 10 to 20 dollars at the early stage of 2021. Would it come true? What are your thoughts on these guys?

Sharing this article: https://crypto.co/.../why-xrp-rallied-by-91-in-the-last.../

Although the price of XRP has reached an unexpected surge this past few months, the speculations of the other people have gone too far because they speculated too much than the unexpected price. with the current state of the market today, it's no surprise for us to see the current price of XRP rise to its normal level and today it even raises up to 91% than its past price. We will see if the market has subsided and the price of XRP still not budging then expect good news in the future.

“People with billions of dollars don’t want to invest in crypto networks that support anarchists,” Saylor explained.

I asked Saylor if this was a marketing problem.

"It’s a matter of emphasis. The industry would benefit if we didn’t call Bitcoin a cryptocurrency, but a crypto asset."

1.99% of the people,who own cryptocurrencies aren't anarchists.His point isn't valid.

2.It doesn't matter how we call Bitcoin.BTC is both a cryptocurrency and a crypto asset,so the way we call it doesn't change the nature of Bitcoin in any way.I don't give a damn about the opinions of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve.

I don't like the views of this guy about crypto.As if he is trying to say "Look,I'm OK with pumping the Bitcoin price,but let's not make the big boys angry." By the "big boys" I mean the Federal Reserve,the government and the big payment gateway companies.


This is what we see in the market, no matter what bad words they throw on bitcoin, the price won't even budge no matter how famous they are in terms of wealth. The only opinions that matter are those of the world leaders and still the only opinions that will make a big change in the market will be good opinions just like what happened when the Chinese President said good things about BTC last year.
5139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Different opinions about bitcoin on: December 08, 2020, 11:56:48 AM
I think those who give a bad opinion about bitcoins are those who still ignorants on what bitcoin can do in the world economy especially those third world countries who face sanctions by the US. with Bitcoins, they can make their economy survive such disasters and with the right intention of their government, they can even use it for their own advantage but those fools who only think bitcoin is not helping at all are not giving enough time to themselves to look for the bold answers on the internet today.
5140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: December 07, 2020, 03:35:12 AM

Why not aim for NBA championship?

I guess they already understand that their current line up is not capable of doing it.

I think they are making some preparations for the later season since they have been dominating the playoffs this last decade and also won some championships. Now that they don't have the big 3 in their line ups, they need to reconstruct their team since it didn't work well with Demar Derozan. If they can find other good players to build up the team then their dream to get back to the playoff will become a reality since they also have a veteran coach in their hands.
