5381  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SQUID GAMES TOKEN CRASHES on: November 02, 2021, 09:59:18 AM
After a few days ago I saw a lot of influencers on Tiktok discussing the Squid game token that flew 3500% in 3 days turned out to be abandoned after the hypeya stopped.  I can't afford to think of those who got stuck at the top and took all the losses on those tokens.  Is there anyone here who bought it?
This is how our risks if you buy a token or coin that only follows a clear trend without fundamental. The first will be the luckiest, and the one at the top of the burden.
Source https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/11/01/squid-game-token-crashes-developers-say-theyve-left-the-project/

No, I wasn't aware that there was this kind of token. And if ever I knew it, I wouldn't invest specially at the top because it is obvious that this is just a hype and pure pump and dump.

And I felt sorry for those who are swayed to buy and join the fun and I would say that they are the real victims here. Risk is almost a common commodity in the market, it's how you manage it. Logically would you buy something that has no use case at all?

Apart from the 10-9 on one of the judge's score card on a knockdown, I'm not going to argue with the rest of the rounds. I think we can all agree that Caraballo is the more technical and efficient fighter throughout the match. He's unlucky that Sultan had a very tough chin despite landing clean and powerful shots of his own. I think a rematch is in order.

I'm not sure if a rematch will be a wise call for the camp of Caraballo. They just recently inked contract with Top Rank and hoping that this will be his first win and potentially he is promised of a good money in the future. However, Sultan derailed all their plans, lol, and they don't want to damage Caraballo early. So probably just another cherry pick fight for Caraballo to bring his confidence back and then knock out his opponents again just to get track.
Yeah that's a good point if you're seeing it from Top Rank's point of view. If they go that path, it's possible that Sultan will also lose to someone else. Caraballo can take the belt back from the new champ Grin I bet he wants an immediate rematch if he's the one calling the shots to redeem himself. Although it's his first, it wasn't a devastating loss that would lower his confidence in his own boxing skills.

Top Rank is known to protect their fighters so I'm just thinking that they won't simply allow him to fight Sultan after that big lost. Someone mentions Caraballo's similarity to Amir Khan, and after Amir first lost to Breidis Prescott, he take an easy fight after that and win by TKO against Fagan. Not sure though if Amir that time was under the banner of Top Rank. But in any case, Caraballo is still very young and just look first for other fight after his first lost. Grin

https://www.toprank.com/all-news/broadway-loma-vasiliy-lomachenko-richard-commey-lightweight-showdown-marks-boxings-return-to-madison-square-garden-december-11-and-live-on-espn/

So Loma is back after his big win against Nakatani. And then time will be pitted against Richard Commey, a former champion.

Although we can argue that it seems that Loma is just fighting Teo Lopez left-over, but he is doing it more than Lopez though. Lopez has a difficult fight against Nakatani, but Loma just toyed with Nakatani and defeat him via TKO. So the pattern may continue here, I will have Loma winning by stoppage and the fight will not last 12 rounds.

Celtics will play against the Bulls at home, they are just -2.5.
I like this odds, they are playing at home against the Bulls, so it's a big challenge for them, if they'll get this win then we should not doubt them that they are still the same team, a playoff team. Actually, I'm taking it because it's only -2.5 and it's easy to cover if they'll win.

Probably this is going to be another close one. I won against them last game, and they are facing a team that has improved a lot.

Even the ML is good enough for me here @1.83 for the Celtics. So this time I'm going with them, it's their home court and it's a must win situation for them. They need to get back in winning ways and they still have the players that can deliver it for them.

Homecourt advantage and coming from an OT loss from Wizard, a very good inspiration to try winning this game and not to disappoint the fans.,
Another thing, Bulls are showing greatness from this early season. If Celtics will beat them, they'll be gaining more confidence,

They are also a good team from the East and they need to prove that they are still a good team to beat from this new season.

ML parlay with other games, thinking about the hornets and Celtics ML combinations..

Yeah, they had the win already, but Celtics collapse again for the second straight game and lose by 14.

Going to the fourth they have a good lead 12 if I'm not mistaken, but DeRozan and Lavine combine for a massive comeback and then they did play good stifle defense to only allow the Celtics to score 12 points in the 4th quarter. I should have learn from my first win against them with the Wizards shuts them off.

It is being reported that Isaac Cruz will be the replacement opponent for Tank Davis' next fight.

Sources: Isaac Cruz has agreed to a deal  to fight Gervonta Davis on Dec. 5 in Los Angeles on Showtime PPV. The lightweight contender from Mexico will replace Rolando Romero, who was pulled from the bout after being accused of sexual assault.

Good, at least Davis has find a replacement and will still be busy this December and will have a fight against Isaac Cruz.

But I think we will have the same results here, might be good for several rounds as we all know that Mexicans are all warriors. But once Davis, find his weaknesses, he will exploit it and goes for a knock out here.

5388  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CoinMarketCap Rankings on: November 01, 2021, 10:41:26 AM
It is clear that CoinMarketCap lists crypto's in descending order based on market cap.  But could anyone tell me why after the first 200 listed (at this time #200's market cap is about 239 Million), #201 through about #215 MC's are back in the Billions?  In fact the MC of #201 through about #280 are above the MC of #200.

CMC is not a good measurement to be honest.

Any token can balloon their market cap by having a lot of coins in circulation. Because the formula is:

Current price x total circulating supply.

There's even some debate that some coins have manipulated their circulating supply, even ETH circulating supply is not well known.

And with that said, it's not even an accurate number specially in the lower bound of the list.
5389  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin metrics “INSANELY BULLISH”! Can the King go to 200K or more this cycle? on: November 01, 2021, 09:52:51 AM
Anything could happen. But, when most people start being cautious then no one could hold the market. I mean all the investors who had watched bitcoin markets by 2013 and 2017, definitely will look for bearish market from January 2022 which means they may not add new bitcoin to their portfolio. So, when market sentiment turns then understood cycle will persist.

Only whales could take the current bullish trend till mid of next year. They need to trigger FOMO to make individual investors to help them.

That's something I've been thinking of. Anyone new to the space reads or is told that Bitcoin comes and goes in cycles, extreme and spending little time near the peak. So they see 2021 as the peak. But as I said, this looks like anything but the 2013 and 2017 cycles -- if they're paying attention. Fundamentals have never been so strong, network elements never been so stable, individual influence never so negligible (hence why it will require concerted whale effort to bring the required momentum for mid-2022 rally extension.

You know what? I've been thinking about the same scenario, since bitcoin's narrative has change in 2020-2021, why not the cycle that we've used to? Maybe it's no longer a 4 year cycle that will end in 2021 and then early quarter of 2022, the first sign of bearish cycle will appear.

Maybe in mid-2022 the price will be so strong based on so many reasons that the 4 year cycle will be broken and we might see 2 waves of bullish run up to the end of 2022.
5390  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Now the price is bullish on: November 01, 2021, 09:18:08 AM
Crypto is running strong. There will be a small dip over the weekend, but it's not finished growing yet. We are leaving the industrial era and entering the digital era. Big things will happen over the next few years

I'm not sure if there will be small dip in the weekends. The trend has change now that even in weekends, traders are busy to try to squeeze some profits.

And I would say that the bull run is not over yet, of course, we need to plan if ever their is the first sign of a bearish market. But for now it's better to enjoy this bull run up to December (two months). And then we can decide what to do then in 2022 or at least in its first quarter because if history is going to repeat itself, we might see some sign of bearish cycle then.
5391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 01, 2021, 08:50:46 AM
People really going nuts for lamarcus aldridge right now.  He's having a great season so far and just joined the 20K point club.  A great comeback after retiring due to an irregular heartbeat scare last year.  I'm seeing people saying if he wouldn't have retired then the Nets would have won last year, and I think that's a valid argument considering they were a 1/2 a Durant shoe size away from likely taking it home without him.  Maybe in the playoffs he'll be able to step up and fill the hole left by no dominant true center on the roster...  We'll see...

He's actually one of the more actively and consistent contributors on the Nets which is a big surprise... Kudos to him.

I would have thought honestly that his game was outdated and a bit slow but he actually looks a lot more agile than on the Spurs.

The year off must have been good for him physically and mentally. And honestly, he's healthy which is the most important thing above all else.

I have to admit, I'm one of the fans who underestimated Aldridge, I was thinking that he'll be limited and his production would go down, but no, I was wrong, look at him now, it's like we are seeing an old Aldridge that dominates, and his shooting percentage is almost perfect.

In their game against the Pistons, he made 16 points but from a 7 of 8 shooting, how consistent is that?
I still remember when Aldridge and Roy are the top players back when they are still in Portland. Its just sad that Roy retired very early that time.

Now he proving that he can still help the team as long as he will be given enough minutes. He played 21 minutes with 16 points. His perimeter shooting + his ability to handle ball are still there like he is playing on his prime. He isn't as quick as he is years ago and its understandable but his perimeter shooting is his bread and butter. I hope that he will be healthy all through out the season because he will be a big help to the Nets both offensively and defensively.

Yeah, lest we forget, him and Dame after Roy left. I think he can still very productive and we can see glimpse of him during his prime years at Portland and even San Antonio. But I'm not going sure if he will be consistently there, maybe there will be games that he will score more like in the Pistons games. And then games that he need to sit out and let Blake do his thing or Durant. But my point is that he can still contribute when needed.

It's really interesting to see an upset and bet on underdog Cheesy This is why previously I pointed out we shouldn't only look by his record, but we should look on his performance and his opponent. However Caraballo will take this as lesson since this is the first time he fight with top boxer.

Even Top Rank didn't expect this upset to happen, they just recently signed Caraballo to their promotional company thinking that the guy is a big crowd drawer in the future but the mistake they made was they matched Caraballo with a Filipino boxer. Caraballo's chin was exposed in this fight and i think his future opponent will make this one a target.

@Baofeng, it's a double win for us today bro if you have bet on Zepeda. Not a good night for Puerto Rican boxing fans here tonight but we can expect Vargas and Caraballo to bounce back strong.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to bet on the Zepeda win, for strange reasons, when I bet on the Jonas Sultan ML, the line on Zepeda wasn't there, or maybe I just have overlooked as I was excited to bet on Sultan a day before the fight (after the weigh-in).

Anyhow, I'll take the win for Sultan, and congrats if you have bet on Zepeda with that knockdown win.

Listen to Mark Magsayo in the Sultan-Caraballo fight - typical of Filipino supporting their own,  Grin

This turned out to be a really competitive and entertaining fight. Sultan scored 4 knockdowns but only won the decision by 1 point. Caraballo has skills and power but his biggest weakness is his chin. He got dropped whenever Sultan hit him cleanly.

Right, Sultan's durability stood in this fight. As I have said before, Caraballo has power, but he hasn't face a tough opponent like Sultan who has been in the ring with some of the best Filipinos like Casimero and Ancajas.

And then he was exposed to have a weak chin, recipe for a disaster.

Every time Sultan touch that chin, he felt the power.



Congrats to those who tail and bet on Jonas Sultan here.  Grin

^^ Right, it turns out to be very close game right now, but Wizards still on top.

Most likely he score will be under, not sure though about the handicap, it could be 1 or 2 points margin for the winning team here. Unless Bradley Beal exploded in the last 8 minutes and then established a 5-1 record. Best of luck for those who have bet on this first game of the night.

What a game that was, double OT...

despite having to play catch up for most of the game, It really feels to me like Celtics blew this chance themselves, they had the chance with the last shot before OT but Brown couldn't hit from close range, then they were able was 9 - 0 up irrc in the first OT, almost midway  through OT they couldn't make a single bucket after that.

I thought that game was over when the Celtics established a good lead in the first OT.

So I didn't watch and continue with my weekends chore and I said to myself that I've lost already.



But when I come back I was surprised that the Wizards forced another OT and then was able to cover the spread. Good win by Wizards then, as I have said before, the former Lakers have found their home in this team.
5395  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next stop $85K for Bitcoin on: October 31, 2021, 12:00:09 AM
this question of price forecasting is a bit comical, whenever the price increases a lot, analysts appear making optimistic forecasts, but the main point is:

why has the price increased so much this month? in my opinion it was because of a possible ETF approval

so what will happen to the price in case SEC postpones or rejects? the price will drop a lot

They already approved the first ever bitcoin ETF and the launching will be this Oct 18 -

https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2021/10/15/sec-approves-bitcoin-etf-opening-crypto-to-wider-investor-base/

It was in the news for couple of days already, this is why you've seen the boost of bitcoin's price in the past few days.
So with this approval, we may be seeing a good market trend in the next coming months, in which, $85k may possibly be achieved this year.

The approval of the Bitcoin ETF is the trigger for the current bullrun market and everywhere analysts are starting to predict the market and expect the next stop at $85k it's amazing. many investors are watching the market movements and how to take the opportunity to sell assets at the next watch is very enthusiastic.

But as we have seen after the ETF, Proshares hits $1.1 billion and then we see new all time high.

But after that the price goes down hard, meaning it has only 2 days of FOMO so obviously, we will have to wait for that $85k stop prediction. It could be achieved next month when there will be the Taproot and for sure it will FOMO again to even in the $90 range. So just wait and see, and still stick to the old formula of buying the dip and accumulating.

What happened to the Dallas Mavericks? I was expecting a very close game but it's just a one sided beatdown.

Luka needs help badly. I think the Mavs trusted in his ability to carry the team too much. There's really nobody else when he struggles. I thought the likes of Hardaway Jr. could help out but that's still not the case unfortunately. Kristap is also unreliable even if healthy.

Right, he can't do it alone every game, someone needs to step up, like Hardaway and Kristap, but they too has been struggling at the beginning of the season. So that is very dangerous for the Mavs right now.

And Denver as well have been in the losing skid, just about time to end it with a big win against the Dallas Mavericks. They have the reigning MVP, so they will continue to find a win and take advantage of their opponents struggling, like in this case the Mavs.
5397  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Battle of supremacy between Dogecoin and Shiba Inu on: October 30, 2021, 10:56:51 PM
I feel Shiba Inu is a stronger coin as compared to Doge. Shiba Inu has so many use cases as a meme coin and we have Leash and Bone to help grow Shiba. Without Elon Doge is useless
Dogecoin was here way before Elon Musk became popular, then it will still be here after Elon Musk. Actually in one century Doge will still be here unlike these opportunistic shitcoin tokens like Shiba Inu. There is absolutely no value in those copycat tokens, they can crash like most of shitcoins at any moment. Be careful, it's a high risky investment unlike DOGE.
I would still classify dogecoin as a high risk investment but I can see your point, dogecoin despite its meme status in the market of cryptocurrencies has gained some acceptance especially since its on-chain confirmations can be quite fast compared to what we see in many other blockchains, and since Musk began giving attention to dogecoin many copies of it have appeared and they have had some success, but I have my doubts the excitement over those coins will last long as they do not offer anything new and as such people will prefer to keep using the coins they have been using so far.
I agree with you, using Dogecoins allow fast and cheap transactions and Dogecoins are now accepted on most of gambling platforms and other crypto services, moreover DOGE is available on all exchanges. Then you can always easily exchange them against fiat, stable coins or other big cryptocurrencies if you need less volatility and less risk. But a token like Shiba Inu on the Ethereum blockchain is low and expensive and accepted at only very few places.

Yes, being a gambler and I'm sure you are one as well, Doge has been very friendly to us with depositing and withdrawing and it has become an alternatives to us, specially last year when the price of BTC and ETH are high and the fees are very expensive.

Shiba on the other hand seems to be just a pure pump and dump coin. Of course many profited already and still profiting, but it's hard to invest on it when the price is on the top.

How about the the earliest of the game? Wizards vs Celtics.

Odds for a handicap for Wizards is -2.5 @1.97 is very attractive.

Wizards are one of the hottest team right now and this game will be in their homecourt. Beal and the rest of the former Lakers are really doing a great job now. Maybe they can cover the spread here and it is a good odds for us bettors.

5400  Economy / Speculation / Re: New all time high record | $66,000 on: October 29, 2021, 11:28:17 PM
Its barely pulled back in the wider picture, just the first fib level was where we got to.  No greater test below that occurred though it would have been reasonable.  The rise over the last 24hr was above the 12hr average almost the whole time, very fast action and we got to say BTC remains bullish showing no real signs of negative action only a slow after climbing consistently.
   Positive outlook remains while we maintain above 62.5k which is the weekly average.  If we were to fall especially I think we get some repeated warnings on that but cant conclude that from current action.

We're barely in the $62.5 levels, but this is still good in my opinion. If we can maintain or at least push the price to $63k at the end of the month, it's still a good indication that we can still continue this bull run in the next two months.

So there's no slowing down, maybe just some minor pull back and correction and then we will continue to march on in December for that 6 digits.

And surprisingly again, the price dip to $60k from $62,500 in just matter of hours. Not sure what the cause, but it seems some speculators are shifting again to some altcoins to squeeze some profits.

You spoke to soon as the price had a good bounce to $62k++ after two days. So maybe as you have speculated, the altcoin investors goes back to bitcoin again after getting profits to some meme coins.

But yet, I would say that we are still very much bullish although the price goes down again. And as we are nearing the end of the month, we might be going on the $60k-$62k side ways pattern. It's not that bad after hitting a new all time high. November will still be a good month for all of us.

In November we still have Taproot, so that alone will be enough catalyst to move forward with the bullish sentiments. Nearing end of the month, price pegged at $62k, that's is very good enough for everyone. S2F points that this month will be around $63k so that's around the target.
