I don't think so if luck is really need on trading because I do believe trading is not pure luck, like a dice gambling.
But this is just for my opinion. Lot of successful traders out there are become owning on trading because they learn a lot and love what they do and for sure they are not relying on luck.
That's why we should not stop learning especially in trading which is very risky.

I'm thankful that I didn't bet on that Game 5 for Meralco Bolts since I am just planning if Meralco Bolts won the Game 5, that's the time I will betting on Game 6 for Meralco Bolts, but suddenly it' sover now.

Btw, I think it's time to close this thread since the tournament  is already done, and we should wait or create another thread for next conference which is all-filipino team.

Exactly. Learning first about cryptocurrency would be the best option before owning/buying a few bitcoins or any other currencies. Because as we all know, cryptocurrencies are much volatile so, it's much riskier to a newbie after buying some cryptocurrency or bitcoin and volatility happens, like a huge massive dump, much stress on the newbie for sure.
But I think what OP wants to say is, some people become much interested in things that they own or they want to be own, so having them at first could help them to learn more about that thing and become more curious.

After what I experienced in 2017 - 2018, the rise of altcoin and fall of altcoins after 2018-2019.
I remember those days when the Bitcoin Dominance dropped and a boom lot of altcoins are pumping, most are shitcoins, especially on the ICO fever around 2017- 2018. But everyone has a limit and comes to an end.

After those experiences, I am not expecting again those kinds of pumping (Bitcoin value) on altcoins on this year 2020, especially now, look at the Bitcoin Dominance, no sign of reversal, most of the altcoins are dumped in Bitcoin value.
I am now relieved after I converted all my altcoins to Bitcoin for almost a year now.

Odds update few minutes before the Game 5 starts;
Quite good odds for Meralco Bolts but for this game 5, I'll skip betting first just what I did on Game 4. Since I am for Meralco Bolts for this championship. After watching Raymond Almazan his plays on Game 4 after his injury, he still having a hard time on Game 4, but for sure he already ready for tonight's game and did some practice after their loss on game 4 without any injury feeling anymore.
Game 6 would be more much exciting if ever Meralco Bolts will win tonight. Good luck to all 

I think you are in the wrong section for your thread, and I think under Marketplace is the right place for this thread. If you don't know how to move this topic or thread, you can see it at the lower-left corner of your thread.
I tried to explore the website, and I think it's pretty nice and best to sell here is some content, especially blog content just what you said and in the attached picture, thanks for sharing this. I am just not comfortable using some third party processor for payment just like BitPay.

Ang pananaw ko talaga sa Bitcoin ay long term. Simula nung nilagay ko ang hard earned money ko sa Bitcoin or bumili ng Bitcoin gamit ang pera na galing sa bulsa ko ay naging positibo na ako long term.
 1-3years na bagsak or bear run ay ok lang sa akin, dahil hindi long term para sa akin yan.
Hoping maging lesson din sa iba ang pagkakaroon o pagbili ng ibang cryptocurrency na walang kwenta, just always do your research first para di gaano tayo mabagsak.

It probably comes from some sources who have some list of email addresses from other people like if you are here before around bull run 2017-2018, tons of airdrops with some shitcoins, to participate there you just need to fill up some forms or sign up in just websites and your in.
Thru that for sure they already have your email addresses, most of those email for sure are related to cryptocurrency since it is coming from here, that's very alarming before, different airdrops popping and for sure some of them are just farming email addresses and sell or use it to some illegal things.
Or it's probably a random email address and they will send their e-mail to those random addresses they generated.

ANN bumping almost everyday.
museakira78 is probably one of their dummy accounts or other people paid for ANN bumping and which also leaves some positive feedback on the bamboo.io account which also had a weird reason.

The account accused did some Personal Message me for past and there is new account sent me a PM, which is bizfyn_ru.
I think it is much better if they will post it here in the accusation thread to make clearer for the public, not by sending us some personal messages.

In many cases, burning tokens can help stabilize a coin's value and curb potential price inflation. The stability gives investors a greater incentive to hold the coins and keeps prices at more favorable rates, which therefore keeps network uptime and bandwidth healthy.^[1]
So for me, burning some tokens from the supply is quite good to help the coin's value itself, but there is some cryptocurrency that is burning some tokens with a small amount and you can't really feel the effect of it to the value of the coin. That's why some people are expecting once there are token burnings they started to think that the price or value of the coin will surge high or pump. There's lot of them, most are shitcoins and just making easy money from people, through manipulations.

Exactly, that's sad for the Meralco Bolts. Almazan still has some fatigue factors during Game 4.
Speaking of the 3 points shooting, here's the comparison; 31% for Baranggay Ginebra and 11% only for Meralco Bolts. That's quite disappointed for Meralco Bolts, they have a lot of misses on three points but their rebounds are almost the same, they lack 3 pointers, Maliksi should able to do that but not lucky though. If Jackson or Salva will be in, their defense will be lack, but offensive for sure is kinda strong.

When doing Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA), I think it is also much better to withdraw your bought Bitcoins after buying, storing it on exchange for me is not safe at all especially you doing Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) which is probably a long term before selling it.
So for me, select an exchange that has also less withdrawal fee besides an exchange with low transaction fees for every trade you made.
Also, the KYC problems, avoid them. Try Binance or Coinbase.

That's become almost normal for every coin out there after delisting, few pumps and after how many days, boom! getting off the floor. I don't know why maybe pure manipulation?
Look, Bitcon SV started to surpass Bitcoin cash;
Bitcoin SV now is currently on the 4th largest market capitalization, which Bitcoin Cash now is the 5th, that's hilarious.
For sure, there are some people behind this huge pump for Bitcoin SV.

Speaking of ICO, buhay pa pala yan hanggang ngayon? hahaha , just reminiscing the past (glory days) especially yung ICO fever 2017-2018 and boom almost lahat ng ICO are scams or tuloyang naging scam at namaalam na.

Gusto ko din e share ito: https://www.whois.net/
Makakatulong yan para sa pag explore ng domain nila like kung saang registrar sila under at kung kelan sila nag register ng domain nila at expiration, bakit posibling makakatulong ito?
Dahil jan, posibiling malaman mo yung country registered ang domain or kanino ba under like name ng tao or company, something ganyan, pero some people are putting some fake data jan or private, kaya wag mo lng gaano asahan yan.

Those pages are not found, I can't access the page, it says Page not found.
Btw, that is a good initiation from you. Helping such a charity organization is good even it's not about some human organization, but it is animals. Animals have also lived, and they also need to be treated just like a human.

Btw, is that animal charity organization is accepting cryptocurrency just like Bitcoin? I hope they do and for sure there are some people are willing to donate some amount to support that charity organization.

1.) It is illegal I think once the owner or company under that exchange is something connected to doing those actions.
2.) I don't think so, there are lot of factors why BTC is dumping/pumping, like some ETF things, exchanges hacks or manipulations just like what you said with some big players with also have huge money.
3.) For me, stop supporting those kinds of exchange and start learning or use some decentralized exchange. And for me, NOT DOING TRADING is good.

Exactly! You just need tons of money to do that, but I don't think so if you can really do it on the futures market, it's difficult especially you are trading contracts. And that's also applicable in some exchanges with low volumes, or a trading pair with low volume.

I think it is more on adoption, the more people will know Bitcoin, the more people will use it.
But for me, as time goes by, Bitcoin is spreading, day by day, there are new people being introduced to Bitcoin.

For my experience with this, asking some people or entities if they accept Bitcoin for their products or services is also one of the best ways of promoting Bitcoin.
Why? Because in that way, they will become curious about Bitcoin (if they don't know what is that thing), so that's the start of the story.
There are a lot of ways to promote Bitcoin like also holding some amount of Bitcoin is party promoting Bitcoin.

I am just much concern based on what I use as pair on Trading.
Like I have USD and decided to trade it with pair BTC-ETH, so before I can trade on that pair, I'll need to exchange my USD to BTC/ETH first.

But in that case, you will not really feel it if you are winning in your trades based on BTC pairs. But it also depends on how much the price of Bitcoin changed.

There are times especially when you are lost some in trading, that in your mind: "Much better if I never traded, and I just hold my BTC for more USD value of it".

Said by their own coach: Norman Black from this article : Almazan's status day to day
But he still positive for Raymond Almazan recovery, we have 1 day more.

What do you think everyone? Almazan can make to game 4 and let the Meralco Bolts ties the series?
Japhet Aguilar is dominating without Raymond Almazan a 6"8 footer center, even Cliff Hodge can't controll it.

I remember before when we have our school activity and we are required to do some tech talks about different technologies and my topic was Why Bitcoin transactions are irreversible?
I was clearly explained about this on my classmates and teacher, especially when you got scammed or you sent your bitcoin to a wrong address and how can they be aware.
Well, thanks for this, hope everyone will learn and know about this.
