5281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: August 27, 2019, 06:27:51 AM

I googled for fast NBA center position players and this name appeared, Hakeem Olajuwon. Mabe also like him? I watched his highlights on Youtube, he plays like a forward in the offense.
He got some of that Dream Shake but not the quickness of Hakeem. I like how fast he runs up and down the court, it's great for both offense and defense. If he can develop some mid-range jumpers or hooks in a year or two, there's a big chance that the Celtics will be lifting that trophy again.

I was researching how much his salary because I was curious why we talk a lot about Tacko fall here.
I read this . https://heavy.com/sports/2019/07/tacko-fall-contract-salary-how-much/, and that article says he does not have a complete contract yet like NBA players normally have where they have fix amount of contract in a certain term, I think Tacko has to work hard here and showed his best so he will get a long term contract with the Boston.

Binance coin seem to be one of the most successful coins on coinmarketcap.. and has been growing rapidly even in this bear market .. when other coins are struggling... then what will happen to BNB when the bull comes?? Do you think 100$ plus to 1 BNB is possible??

i believe next year binance coin will reach more than $100
and i can said this coin is the best ethereum competitors if we comparing with the other
a lot of demands on BNB because of the IEO on binance exchange
also i see a lot of tokens move from ethereum network to binance chain now

BNB has been consistent, so far there's no FUD for BNB and it has gain the trust of the crypto community, big reason why they are the number 1 exchange now. I think the current price now of $26 is a good price for us to buy, I mean, if this coin will succeed, there is no limitation as it's not only focus on the success of their exchange but it's also finding ways to attract projects use their Binance chain, in short, this project has a big potential and we can make a fortune here.

What is my basis? well, ETH has done that, BNB now looks better than ETH, so I'm betting on that possibility.

The USA are right now playing vs Canada and the 1. quarter is just about to end. The stream is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzgNQg2F34k
Thanks for the streaming link, I was able to load it, but unfortunately my internet connection now is very slow due to heavy rain outside.
I'm just gonna check the stats after this game or maybe watch the highlights after this game.
5284  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what is happening now? on: August 23, 2019, 10:38:54 PM
It appears that the market cycle has changed, and the individuals are giving bitcoin much esteem. It implies that institutional brokers are likewise intrigued by bitcoin. Yet, this cycle might be adjusted. What's more, altcoins will have their chance to rise. I couldn't care less about it, yet I continue holding altcoins.
I'm optimistic about altcoins as they are my favorite investment since I was able to make good profit during the last bull run.
There is a change in the market because we are expecting that people will just transfer their money from BTC to altcoin and vise versa, but is not happening now, Bitcoin was only getting the attention and some solid and hype altcoin this year like BNB (the most consistent in altcoins market).

If there's no changes now, we just hope next year will be the altcoins season, and I'm certain BTC would not drop since halving is approaching.
5285  Other / Archival / Re: Is KYC benefit to crypto people or not on: August 23, 2019, 10:30:07 PM
KYC is required when using regulated exchanges with fiat on-ramps. You don't need to trade on exchanges that implement KYC, but the exchanges that are compliant are normally safer.
We don't have to because we have an option, Binance is a big exchange and regulated as well but they give an option for traders to trade with KYC, and majority of the traders can enjoy it and at the same time, they will feel safe as they are trading in one of the biggest exchange is not the biggest.

I trade on ecxx because it uses ledger vault cold storage, is located in Singapore and is regulatory compliant, and is backed by a 44 million dollar funding round.
Well, I really have no idea about this exchange, must be a big exchange as well since they are back with  44 million dollar funding.
Can you explain further about this site? This is interesting.

I know that betting odds, and there were people who won a good amount because Trump won, while there are also losses big because they thought Trump has no chance to win, LOL...bad for them, they got too greedy thinking their bet is a lock. Personally, I never tried betting in politics yet, maybe if our countries election will be available in the sportsbook, that would be the time I'll start betting.
5288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I don't know how to trust a gambling site nowadays! on: August 23, 2019, 12:01:27 PM
Differentiating scam crypto gambling sites among the largest ones is not too hard so you no need to worry about the legitimacy of the exchange are gambling sites as they were asking for KYC you can just do simple Google search to know about there history and you can decide that they are legitimate or just new here to scam some people.

when you don't want to do KYC then avoid such gambling sites even if they are legitimate but sooner or later more gambling sites will ask for KYC I guess due to the government restrictions.

When there are a lot of gambling sites that allows us to gamble even without KYC, it would be stupid if we still do the KYC.
KYC is only required on fiat gambling sites as they are license and regulated, and KYC is a requirement.
I don't know about the legality status of every crypto gambling sites here but most of us does not look on that aspect, instead we look on their reputation.
For example we can see lot of exchanges were forced by their respective governments to implement KYC for doing trading and in gambling industry also might the same thing happen sooner or later but it will.
Possibly, but there's a bigger number of gambling sites compared to exchanges and I think these gambling sites if they can find a way to not impose KYC under their platform they would do it since majority of the successful gambling sites in crypto does not require KYC, that would make them out of the competition as gamblers would prefer to gamble without them giving an info about themselves.

In some countries, gambling is illegal, so they can't bypass that restriction if all would be requiring a KYC.

It's their best chance now because although the team USA is the favorites to win
Team USA seems the most favorite because most of huge NBA superstars are Americans. They are not called Dream Team for nothing, charisma and strength they possess makes them special among teams. But this year, honestly they are not my favorite. I am now getting more interested to the team which could beat them Grin.
I don't see them as a super team unlike the Roster they have in the past.
Indeed. Take a look on this year's
USA's roster[/ur]. Well, they are still considered high calibers in basketball but I admit that they are not as solid as before.  

Exactly. And In my opinion, it is always satisfying to see the USA losing.
This would mean that we are going to watch an amazing game, as all the teams need to try their maximum efforts to win this team.
If we will see Serbia and the US in the Finals, they will be like the Warriors and the Raptors where Warriors were the heavy favorites but the Raptors end up winning in the series. But this one, I don't hope for an injury, of course the game would be fun to watch if all players are given a chance to play.
I would cheer for my nation's team but I know they will not be able to enter in the top 10, but if they will have at least one win, that would be good enough and a great achievement since this is an world wide competition.

Well Arwind Santos got what he deserves. So it's better if we will not fire up the issue again. But, the lesson is learned that racism does not have a room in Philippine Basketball Association. Wala eh, hambog eh.
This shows how the PBA association valued the imports and act directly when sanction is necessary.
By the way, do we have a news regarding Calvin Abueva? I miss this guy, he was suspended because he hit jones, I can't remember if he was also penalize monetarily with that, but I just hope Calvin will apologize to Jones and to the PBA organization so he can play soon, his team really needs him badly.
I have watched a video on youtube and I think the Phoenix is working to trade him. They tried to trade him on NLEX but things didn't went on what they talked and in the end, it didn't happen. They also tried to trade him in Ginebra in exchange for LA Tenorio but they refused immediately. The Manager of the Ginebra refused it immediately after saying it to them. I think they are trying to trade also with the Alaska Aces. Until now, there is no updates into where will The Beast will land.
That's bad for him, his attitude is a big problem here, if he won't change, no team will ever accept him.
Because of he got suspended indefinitely, the Phoenix which was suppose to be a good contender in the playoffs, miss their chance, and being a star he should know that he has a commitment to the team to play in the playoffs again but he lost his professionalism, instead he got so emotional and do things that could hurt his reputation.

There's a highlight on youtube on the official channel of NBA --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnuWZOucCRw

Thanks for sharing the highlights, that was a complete domination by the US team.
I was expecting for the Australia Boomers to be more physical here and do some trash talking like they did in the Philippines so we can again see a brawl highlights. LOL..

This is still fresh in my mind. Philippines vs Australia Rumble Fight FIBA World Cup 2019 Asian Qualifiers

Oh well, we've got some drama out there. Royce White has expressed his thoughts about Carmelo Anthony being blackballed and he's pointed LBJ ignored that.

Royce White slams LeBron James, Lakers: ‘Carmelo is absolutely being blackballed’
Former NBA player slams LeBron James, Lakers for signing Jared Dudley over Carmelo Anthony
Hope Melo will be picked by a team that will have make a great chemistry over its players, how about he back again at Denver and help those youngsters I guess that's make a great team. I am for sure there are teams that will get Melo or maybe by this news LBJ will pick him.
Many doesn't like his Melo but once a player has been empty and no team wants to catch him, we're starting to feel bad about them. While others were quick to judge LBJ, now it's getting clear.

LeBron Reportedly Tried To Get Carmelo Anthony But Was Told No

This time Lebron didn't get what he wanted, I don't understand why no team would sign Melo, I hope he is not black listed in the NBA teams yet.
I'm afraid out from his disappointment, he might leave the NBA and play in other league like Lin.

BREAKING NEWS!

Alex Compton steps down as Alaska head coach, Jeffrey Cariaso takes over

What will be the effect of this decision on the Alaska?

I think they have a good coach but they just don't have a lot of talent in the team, the loss of Abueva is really a big impact on the team, plus Manuel is not fully healthy yet, these 2 was the best players of the team.
5294  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Cardano Price Reach $ 10 in 5 Years? on: August 22, 2019, 11:32:19 AM
it's all a dream, why not 100 $ ?
if cardano is so good, then why the price of ADA  price did not moving for a couple of years?

It did but that was only during the bull run, in 2017 and first quarter of 2018, usually that's the time when the market is still good for altcoins.
Cardano still retain its good volume, and it does not fall a lot on its ranking because majority of the coins in the market has drop and this struggle is still happening until now.

In 5 years, there's a lot of positive things that would happen, and maybe by that time, the market will be more develop and more regulated, so since ADA is a legit coin, there's a chance it would rise that value, provided BTC will rise many folds from its current price now.
5295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH 2.0 will cause FOMO or FUD? on: August 22, 2019, 11:19:05 AM
I don’t know about FOMO, but FUD will definitely not.The platform moves to another stage of its development,respectively, that investors and ordinary users from this will only be better.
In short, this is an upgrade of the current ETH system, this should create a buzz in the crypto market knowing ETH is the king of all altcoins.
This is gonna create some hype, but not a FOMO as I believe FOMO only happens when the market is healthy.

Do you also have a signature campaign?

It would be nice if you also run campaign so that could also gain some exposure in the forum, 10 pesos per post is good enough, and I'm sure you'll have a lot of participants from our kababayan here, I'll tell my friends if you have.

This account scammed last July this year but you only posted this month about this issue, no one would believe you, and I think that red trust will last forever. You should have inform the community in the reputation board the time you account was hacked ( i presume).
5298  Local / Altcoins (Pilipinas) / Re: Marami pa ba sa inyo ang kumikita sa pag bobounty? on: August 20, 2019, 09:15:52 AM
Di na ako nag-ba-bounty. Dati ok pa ang odds (50/50) 50% fail and 50% na mabayaran ka and ma-list sa exchange ang project.

Ngayon parang 80/20 na. 80% di mag pay ng bounty, di matuloy ang project or magbigay man ng tokens - di naman ma list sa exchange.
If you have lots of time and ok with the 80/20 odds, then go for it.

This is true, due to the big competition in bounty hunting and few legit crowdsale only, it will be hard for us to earn a decent amount.
Let's just say that the ICO now have decrease significantly due to the fact that they loss their investors since we have the IEO but most of the good IEO's  does not run a bounty campaign, so that's really hard for us, sometimes it could just be a waste of time.


Parang ang stable na lang na bounty are those that pay in btc - usually casino/gambling related bounties.
That's signature campaign, it was here first before bounty and we don't call that bounty since rewards are paid in fix amount in BTC.
5299  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Pinoy takot paren sa crypto-investing? on: August 20, 2019, 09:04:38 AM
Ang ibang pinoy kasi kulang sa tiwala sa crypto at iniisip malaking kawalan pag naginvest.

In general, there are only few numbers of pinoy who really understands about crypto, the rest just heard it, and as long as they are close minded, we can never change the way they look at crypto.

At isa pa kulang sa knowledge din talaga kaya kung mapagaaralan lang pano ang crypto kikita din sila dito. Marami pa din talaga sa bansa natin ang hindi alam pano proseso sa crypto kaya masasabi ko din takot maginvest.

I learn crypto in my own effort, I think if they are interested, it will not be hard for them to learn as almost every basic information access-able online for free, therefore it's really up to them if they will educate themselves.

Update on some NBA players.

Jeremy Lin:

He could be on his way to China and play with the Beijing Ducks.

Since there is no team that wants to sign him in the NBA, this is a wise decision for him. He can still play the game he says he love and still get paid. I hope he gets it.

That's good for him, that's a moving on kind of a decision if he will eventually accept the offer.
Playing outside NBA doesn't mean his chance to come back in the NBA is not possible anymore, maybe if he will improve he can come back and enjoy a good salary again, but this time, he needs to accept the reality.

Dwight Howard:
There's a chance that he'll be playing again for the Lakers since Cousins is already out due to injury.

Kobe is not anymore in the Lakers, I think he would do better now, but hopefully he will finish the season.
