5441  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: if country has fully adopted crypto and they are releasing their own stablecoin on: October 18, 2021, 12:32:52 PM
an example is a country has fully adopted crypto and they released their own stablecoin. they also legalize some other big crypto coins like bitcoin, ethereum, and some stablecoins like USDT or DAI. and you become one of the citizens of that country. which one will you use for daily transactions. stablecoins issued by your country's central bank, or mainstream crypto coins like bitcoin. or privately released stablecoins such as tether. or keep using cash because you are used to it. and give the reason why you chose that coin.

Depends, maybe there are situations that really calls for CBCD to be used then I will used it.

But bitcoin and others have their own purpose, I mean it's borderless, so maybe that's the time that you need to used it, whether you want to send or received it from someone, like love ones across the globe.

The good thing is that you have options now, and it's up to you which one fits you better, CBCD or crypto or fiat.

Do you spend your Bitcoins or just hodl?

If you spend
What for and do you miss something that cannot be bought for Bitcoin yet?

Yeah, I spend it, I treat it like money. But the most I do with my bitcoin is pay with my basic necessities, like internet, electricity and water and some credit cards. We are lucky that we have a local exchange that supports this kind of payment and then some.

If you hodl
For how long and why don't you spend?
Do you have exit strategy or you will spend it after you can buy your desired thing?

I also have some bitcoins that I have been holding for at least a year or do. Keep in a hardware wallet and for safe keeping.

Not sure if I have some price in my mind that I will cash out, maybe if we reach 6 digits sometime in December or early next year, I might be tempted to offload some.

And the fun still continues, $60k now, shorters are going to get rekt. Hopefully there could be some bunch who thinks that there strategy are not going to work with the way the market is going. They should followed "If you can't beat them, join them", and have this kind of attitude in a bull market.
Thanks for your support, bulls! On Binance, bitcoin just surpassed $60,000.

There will be a lot of people who will want to sell, but I choose to hold and go long. Take some time and it will clear your doubt or just examine the futures market of the same exchange that seems to be shy a couple dollars at this point in time. Buy if possible or hold on to your position.
I do not believe that it was that simple for us to reach 60k. It took a lot of time and a lot of money to reach this level. However, I believe that retail investors did not manage to get this level, it is obvious that we got a lot of help from the companies. The difference that companies made in this world is that they end up putting up millions of dollars, even over a billion dollars sometimes then we end up with something that is super high and skyrocketing because we have too many money going in right away.

Usually this round numbers are really hard to break, but when the market do, the price will continue to go higher until we settles down. Mostly like $62k-$63k is what I projected. But let's see how it pan out, start of the week for the Asian market right now and hopefully maintain at the price or keep it higher.

So, I would say that corporations are the reason we are more bullish these days and not people like me because even when we all get together we can't be making what they are doing to crypto right now since we are not doing it all together, whereas we are talking about these corporations putting that much money all at once and that is the difference.

And I do believed that some big corporations have been in the market for years now, direct or indirectly. So here we are again, super bullish market and those who have deep pockets like institutions are going to put huge money again and play.

Another video I uncovered, sparring session between Rolando Romero and Ryan Garcia,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEYYDeRGHAA

No doubt that this kid has a bright future in boxing, this video is 4 years old, pre-pandemic. We don't know how much Rolly has improved, but Davis is on another level, more polished and technical boxer than Rolly. You can see the Ryan keeps tagging him with that left hook, but he keeps on coming back. Not sure though if Davis tags him with a powerful left, he might go down.

Just to spice things up, video of Lopez confronting Devin Haney in the Martin vs M. Garcia fight, in which Mickey was upset by Sandor Martin via a majority decision. Devin Haney is also another champion that has been calling Teofimo Lopez as well.

Hey, thanks for this big list @Ratimov.

I saw some of my threads getting into your list and I agree that this is a must read for newbies and experience alike.

And hopefully this will not be buried, perhaps you can bump this thread once in a while so that it will be on the top of the page.
5447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: October 17, 2021, 01:29:16 PM
@Boafeng. What is your prediction?

I'm still go with my original prediction of the fight going into a full 12 rounds.

Shawn Porter is still very durable and I don't think that the Errol Spence Jr fight soften him in any form. He has been with tough fighters, like going into distance with Garcia and also Ugas and Thurman as well. His chin is still intact and it will carry him on this fight with Crawford. Porter is a relentless pressure fighter that can maintain the phase in 12 rounds.

So I will go against the popular opinion that this fight with be under 10.5.
5448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Jonas Sultan vs Carlos Caraballo - October 30, 2021 on: October 16, 2021, 11:33:15 PM
^^ Yes, maybe they are already they are closing in some gaps in techniques and strategies specially for Sultan as he maybe the first man to stop the hard hitting Caraballo. Just enough so that in two weeks he will be in his peak and in the fight night he will be 100%. No need to overtrain, what Sultan needs is the confident to show the world why he shouldn't be underestimate and then make noise about another Filipino on the horizon.

as it sits right now, no crypto bookies has listed this match yet. so only about 2 weeks before this fight. maybe they will list this a week or few days before the fight. the puerta rican should not underestimate the power of this filipino boxer. we all know that a lot of filipinos are good inside the boxing ring. so let us see what sultan can show us when he gets inside the ring.

That's usually the case though, crypto bookies are late in listing mid to lower tier fights like this one. I'm not saying that they don't like listing it because they can still made money out of this fights, but maybe they wanted to get a feel of the fight first. But for sure, as Filipinos, we always support our boxers and even put a good amount on bet on them. So hopefully as the fight gets closer, we might see the odds on some of our favourite crypto bookies.
5449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 16, 2021, 10:59:18 PM
^^ And you can't really compare the 2012/2013 Lakers to the current roster. So that argument is flaw in the beginning. The Lakers of today might be competitive though, majority of them joined just to have that one ring, so for sure they will do everything.

The only point of contention for the Lakers is the chemistry - but that's understandable, the season hasn't started yet and people are bashing them basing on the preseason games, Lol.

If we are in the middle of the season and the Lakers are like 20-20 then maybe there is a problem within the team. But at this point wherein the regular technically has started, we cannot say that they are doom to fail because of the chemistry issue.

And I do agree, we should not judge them about the preseason games because it is just like for fun, nothing too serious about it. Their performance may change in this upcoming regular season, then, we may see what is the real deal here. But basing the preseason, is not really valid for me. Bookies are busy again with this season. A lot are looking forward to this season because of the pandemic last year.

Good point, we should judge the early, they can make the adjustments later and I don't think that in the whole season, they will play mediocre. There could be some games that will show up as regulars, but most likely, the chemistry question will be answered in just a couple of games, specially when they play outside against any tough teams in both division. Maybe a good win against the reigning champion, or a good ass whopping of Nets staring KD and Harden.
5450  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are there more people or bots on internet? on: October 16, 2021, 10:31:53 PM
Bots are dominating humans how to control it?
what will be future !

Bots in terms of what? what is has something to do with crypto space though?

But I will answer it for you, there are traders who uses both for obvious reasons (speed and automation), so I'm not against them. However, sometimes this bots can trigger a sell, and in turn triggers a panic. That's why when we see some huge dumps, I'm sure bots have something to do with it. So it has pros/cons, but it is what is it though, so I would say learn to live with bots around in crypto market.
5451  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reverse Bubble 2021 (burst on October) on: October 16, 2021, 10:02:15 PM
Problem is the rate of ascent is a little too aggressive to expect it to rise for 6 months.   Its going to reset within that even if it resolves upwards.     Some of these people borrowed money to buy and they'll cash it back out, if it stays above 50k the whole time that will be bullish.   Some expected 100k this year but staying consistently higher for 6 months would make that become of a possible reality in the next year.

I really don't think it's a quick ascend though, we have seen lower lows for this year, at $28k-$29k, so it was not an easy ride going to new all time high or even $100k as everyone is really hoping.

And then bitcoin narrative also change, there are some companies going public or slipping under the radar and having bitcoin in their balance sheet. So let's see when the bubble will be burst? hitting above $100k? $200k?
5452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Cryptocurrency be a Global Currency in the Future? on: October 16, 2021, 09:37:20 PM
Yes, It can be expected that cryptocurrency will be a Global currency in the future.
 The BTC will be the father coin and there will be a lot of sub coins.

It's more of a prime mover, BTC really open doors for crypto to be an alternative to fiat.

Cryptocurrency is a unique kind of currency that has great potential.
It has an attraction for all ages of life. It has a great opportunity for those who want to do something and desire to step forward.
Moreover, It has equal chances for poor or rich for development .
This currency has brought a revolutionary change in the world of business and trade.
It promotes a positive activity also.

It will only become an alternative as I have said, but you really have to know how to take advantage of it, otherwise if won't work. What I mean is that you need to understand it, specially on how or where to store your crypto. Otherwise, you will be a victim of scams or fraud, so that the caveat here. Many people also thinks that crypto is a get rich quick scheme, which is not. And it's not like a magical bean that will make your reach.

So as far as it becoming global currency? Not sure, maybe it will, maybe the government won't allow it.

5454  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Biggest SCAM from YOBIT Exchange in ICO today ! on: October 15, 2021, 11:14:21 PM
sympathy for the yobit is now starting to crumble.  yobit has become one of the exchanges that do not have great potential.  i see yobit is so bad so it's natural that yobit is said to be a scam and many ico projects fail if they are on yobit

What sympathy? Yobit has been in crypto sphere for years and their reputation has been tainted since I joined this forum 4 years ago and still are up to this time.

So I really don't know what people still prefer to trade and used that exchange. And hopefully those who got burnt will learn their lessons in a very expensive way. A lot has change in the landscape as far as investment goes, but Yobit still uses this old but very effective strategy.

Lol, Haters gonna hate though, still early to conclude that there's no chemistry and that they are a good 7th-8th place team. Gonna love those haters, and we all know that Lebron just want some fuel to his quest for another ring and tie the GOAT Michael Jordan at 6.
5456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 15, 2021, 04:59:42 PM
if you are rooting for canelo, yes much better if you will bet the over/under as the odds are better than betting full-time. as canelo is motivated to finish this fight early because of the surrounding drama, placing bet under may be a good choice. this event is fast approaching so hoping that no other reasons that they will cancel this fight.

and btw, based from this article, caleb was not actually talking about his mom, but he was referring to canelo himself. just a misunderstanding.

It's a total misunderstanding on the part of Canelo that resulted a fiery face off between Plant. The fight is fast approaching and odds on these upcoming fight are on favor on Canelo while Plant stands as underdog but who knows what will going to be the result after their fight this coming November 6. Despite of what have been happened on their face off I would go place a bet on Canelo which I prefer to based on the past fight records of a fighter.
Everyone would bet on Canelo to win as he is a heavy favorite to win against Plant, and what happened in the press conference only put more hate on the Plant from Canelo's fans and they want to see Plant suffer in the hands of Canelo. I understand that we should not underestimate Plant, but his attitude towards the champion is unacceptable as he disrespected a woman that Canelo loves so much.

It might be good if Canelo will put a deliberating and painful beat down of Caleb instead of going for a early knockout. I remember Usyk doing that to one of his opponents, (I forgot the name), he just played and toyed with that fighter before the referee stops the fight.

That could be one of a fight for Canelo and punishing Caleb from round 1 to 12. Totally destroying him physically and emotionally.

That is a bad move in my opinion, if the knock out presents itself then Canelo will go for it.

But saying that he will intentionally make Caleb suffer by extending the fight itself? I doubt that coach Reynoso will have that kind of tactic. Canelo should be wise enough by now that he could be hit by a punch that can change the complexion of the fight. For sure they have they game plan already, but I doubt that this strategy will be one of them.
5457  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can BTC hit 70k$ this Christmas? on: October 15, 2021, 03:22:08 PM
The way things are going at this moment I think BTC will hit 70k by November!

Or even higher this November, I'm seeing in the $80k range, but let's see.

The price has been fluctuating from $59k-$60,200, and if ever we sustain the growth of $60k in the next 48 hours, we can hit $70k before the end of the month. The bullish sentiments is still here and investors are still willing to pour their money because everyone is waiting for that 6 digits in December. So $70k is just conservative in my opinion.
5458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Lopez vs Kambosos - October 5 on: October 14, 2021, 11:42:46 PM
The latest news according to Kambosos himself is that the fight will be made in November 13.

Quote
“I am hearing the date of the fight could be November 13. I am ready to fight today or any date Eddie Hearn says. I am not the one who has been postponing the Lopez v Kambosos fight.”

https://fightnews.com/kambosos-lopez-on-nov-13/122250

It's still tentative date though, just a month away from today, not sure if this is viable. But we all know that they have been training for a year now and fans are eagerly waiting for it to happen this year. Both are confident to win, so let see how it goes next month.

What's interesting to read and I'm not aware of it, is that George Kambosos manager works in Triller. And yet when the fight with Triller was scrapped, Peter Khan chooses side and resign with the Triller management group and stick with Kambosos. I guess it's just business for this guys and there is loyalty or something. As majority of you have said, this is long overdue and it's so frustrating to see the original fight being cancelled many times. But finally, we have a date in our hand and hopefully this time, the fight is going to happen.

That is just pure business decision by Peter Khan. We all know that this boxing promoters or boxing itself involves billions of money every year. And maybe Peter really saw a bright future on George Kambosos that's why he decided to stick with him. And it was also said that Peter and George father are close, so maybe that's one reason as well.

And just like all of you guys, I'm also excited to see how this match will go down. I'm sure this will happen before the end of this year.
5459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 14, 2021, 11:20:06 PM
@bisdak40 - thanks for the update, yeah, it seems that Casimero has bolted out of MP. Not really sure what Manny Pacquiao still trust Sean Gibbons, as I have said before, this has the making of a "Michael Koncz" again.

In any case it was good that both Nonito and John Riel are in good terms and the Donaire's are helping John Riel jump to the back yard of Richard and his team on Probellum.

Who knows, maybe we can see Donaire and Casimero on the same card, that will be huge for Filipino boxing fans around the world.
5460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 14, 2021, 10:53:58 PM
It's funny. I thought earlier that the Nets and Lakers to be the main contenders for the title this season. However, both teams have some problems at the moment. The Lakers don't look like favorites after a terrible performance during preseason. Regarding the Nets, I doubt that Durant and Harden will be able to reach the final series if Irving doesn't change his mind about vaccination.

It's too early to say that both teams are not going to make it this season.

There are a lot of games, they can be the top seed, or be the eight, but what's important is how they bring their teams in the playoffs. Utah Jazz was the top seed and every one thinks that they can at least make it to the Western conference finals. So anything can still happen, Kyrie thinking of retiring if ever Nets trade him? For sure he might regret that decision.
