61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in a newly project is worth it or not ? on: April 30, 2024, 02:26:20 PM
I see many people get into trouble when investing because of many broken promises made by the developers, especially in new projects.
Asking if it is worth it or not. You can assess if the project is worth investing in or not because if you ask other people, listening to their insight could affect your mind and project assessment as well. Why we should not trust ourselves if we've done research and background checks. I don't think it was enough to judge whether a project is legit or a scam.
If we don't know how or don't have the capability to make good judgments, I don't think we have to be doing this as most likely, we just fall into the wrong investment.

The only spread i'm liking so far is the first-half spread from the Celtics, they led by 20+ points last game, and i'd imagine the only way Miami keeps it close is if they can replicate the number of threes they made during game two.



I'm also tempted to slam the Nuggets, but it's probably best to catch better odds through live betting because, in all four games, the Lakers take control of the first half (leading by 5+ points).

Congrats mate, that was a great analysis as the Celtics easily beat the Miami Heat especially the first half. But even if you bet on the entire game, you will still win because the Celtics have cover +3.5 points from the -10.5 pregame point spread. I think the Miami Heat is done, they lost twice at home, so this game will be over in 5, they are still lucky to have won a single game though.

Anyway, tomorrow I'm interested on betting the Sixers vs Knicks, I think the Sixers are gonna fight for their chance in the series and will avoid to get eliminated, so it's +4.5 Sixers for me.

It appears that you are the perfect victim for the trolling of King Ry in social media hehehehe. This occurs to people who are always believing in what they read on the internet or in newspapers. They are using you and taking advantage of you my friend. King Ry has tricked many people already, I shake my head that this is still working on some people. Everyone should begin to be very skeptical on what Ryan will say. He will be a crazier troll or he might be starting to have a real sickness in his head. I am quite certain he is only trolling.

We all are a victim of his trolling  Cheesy Cheesy I'm just surprised that he easily mastered the art of trolling this will make bettors bet on his next fight, with Ryan's success in trolling I'm sure he will repeat it on his next fight, but it's still good entertainment, we come to watch on all what he says and intentions.

I have this feeling that Ryan doesn't want to build his reputation in winning a lot of titles but more on making fun of everyone and making money at the same sounds more like Jake Paul's antics.


Ryan now is more focus on making more money on his fight, he is not anymore undefeated, so there's nothing to protect. He is actually good, and I'm sure more money will come for him as people already know him and now believe that he is one of the best active boxers now. Let's watch out for his next fight, and if ever he will do some trash talk about, we should not be surprise but we should also believe that he will be doing everything to deliver an impressive win.

Quote
I hope to see both of these two clowns in the ring it's going to be a battle of thrash talks and trolling, but Jake Paul needs to beat Tyson first.

Jake Paul does not fight champions, he just want to fight leftover boxers, or those greats that are already old, so it's not gonna happen.

No matter what you do, you will still take the blame. Because that person never takes responsibility as she is already not confident in you and in investing in Bitcoin. It only means that this person doesn't want to invest. So, therefore, she is not worthy of our time and effort. We'd rather talk and encourage someone who could really understand and of course, is willing to adapt to the situation. In fact, we are just helping them, not by having responsibility over their investment as it was their choice to invest, not us. We are introducing them some ways to earn money and its up to them to decide but not in way they will put us in charge of their funds.

Many are teachers only few are traders. They make their money from selling trading courses, teaching trading classes, creating trading contents for YouTube and other social media. They have their own trading podcasts and collaborate with people like them to talk about trading yet, they have never been successful at trading.

Successful traders are careful about whom to tell and share their stories with, and they seldom show up in public saying they are good traders as they prefer to remain anonymous despite their great achievements. And yes, those illusionists and fake traders have big mouths talking here and there, yet they achieve nothing aside from popularity. That is why I don't admire people who keep proud of themselves because I know that trading is not an easy game but these influencers saying the opposite about it.
Some people say that not all the things and success stories we hear on social media are true, most of them are scripted.

Beal though, this year hasn't done anything to the Suns and for sure they are weighing their options but it seems Beal's contract is tight. Durant try to show us the old version of him, but ANT just dominated him in this series no doubt about that.

So Wolves are not a overrated team, Gobert and KAT in the middle is very hard for any team to content and then ANT, who is being mentioned now with the same breath as Michael Jordan. But let's see, this is just the first round, it's good that they will have a good rest while waiting for their potential opponent.

Beal is just really the problem of the team, he had some injury issues that made him out on some fo the games and when he is playing, his numbers are also not impressive. As we can see on his average this season, it dropped from 23.2 (wizards) to 18.2 (current team).

But like you mentioned, it's just a first round, we will see the next round if they'll be able to advance against the defending champion.

About the SMB vs Magnolia, I thought it was another blowout win by SMB but Magnolia did come back after a huge deficit, IIRC, that was 20 more or less, and now it's just a single digit lead for SMB in the 4th quarter. This game is very exciting.

Yes, they were able to come back in the game and even keep it as close to 1 point only, but as we have seen in the game, the 4th quarter was a difference maker as JMF got aggressive and their 3 point shooting worked perfectly. CJ and Chris Ross have made them paid in that area because they need to double JMF and that would result to a kick out pass.

Paul Lee actually had a great game here with 23 points but they probably miss the service of Jio Jalalon in the defensive end as he didn't play in this game.
68  Economy / Speculation / Re: When do we really note it for Bitcoin ATH on: April 26, 2024, 12:21:38 PM

So, exactly when can we have declare an ATH to be?
Exactly? It is not a term we use here, the market is unpredictable.
We just knew it after. So these people are talking about ATH, they do not even know when it comes but just purely speculation based on the market history and previous ATH. But most of us believe it comes a few months after halving just like it happened last 2021.
Quote
Is it really subjected to any price that just broke the previous ATH even when we know it ain’t going to hold for long? Because we just might have way too many ATH in the previous!
We have already reached $71k, if there is no more pump beyond that price...that will be considered as the NEW ATH after surpassing the $69k in the last 2021. But I was not losing hope because as long as we are still the bull season, nothing is impossible knowing the fact that there are of factor that affect the price trend.

No way to stop these scammers, in fact, the battle against them is started many years ago but instead, we never feel a decrease in their number, we even feel they are growing and smarter than before. The situation is getting worse because even experienced investors/traders, sometimes fall into their hands. Nothing is safe on the internet and it is even hard to trust those people we know already. Nothing can help us to secure our funds aside from doing it personally. Instead of mastering how to analyze the market situation, we've better master how to keep our wallets safe and develop a skill to avoid scammers. As they are getting smarter, we also have to be smart like them to balance the situation and make them feel that we are prepared.

As I said, the Lakers played great defense but cannot convert them into a score. Well, I am glad I made a bet at halftime for the Nuggets while the Lakers are in a 4 point lead.


First, congratulations to you win, and yes I agree that the Lakers played good defense but could not make their shots. They should have a good shooting since they are on their home court, but they are missing beyond the arc shots which they usually does in the last 2 games. I understand that the game is getting too  physical as the Lakers would not allow to be in 0-3 hole, but the Nuggets which has the heart of a champion understands how important every game is. I think we can consider this first round series done, because if the Lakers will come back, they'll be the first in the history, as the announcers said during the game, it's not impossible but improbable.
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please, I urge you to buy bitcoin! on: April 25, 2024, 09:29:53 PM
There is still plenty of Bitcoin left... I encourage people to buy but at the same time, I urge them to take a priority in having knowledge about this before making a decision to buy. Because I don't want them to think that Bitcoin investment is a quick rich scheme, they are supposed to understand first that it won't make them rich instantly as many people had thought about it. And they also know how to keep their wallet safe. Because investing in Bitcoin is not just all about buying, holding, and selling but also, we know how to keep it safe from the eye of hackers.
Everything should be ready before buying, it is indeed necessary to know that it is hard to commit mistakes in this kind of investment. Otherwise, you lose everything.
72  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Subriel Matias VS Liam Paro IBF Super Lightweight June 15th Manati, Puerto Rico. on: April 25, 2024, 02:17:32 PM
I saw Matias's highlight on YouTube recently he is one of the boxers I want to watch right now, thankfully he has this upcoming fight and we can expect that it will be another exciting match. Matias might be underrated, but his skills and determination to become a known world champion are there, and the guy is just wrecking his opponent, making them quit after fighting him. I wonder why he is still unknown? he needs some exposure in the West or the Middle East or his talent will be wasted and he won't get as much money as he can with it. need a reliable promoter to promote him.
Most of the boxers that are popular are undefeatd, he had one loss against Petros Ananyan, so that's a negative in his record. Maybe the time will come if he continue winning, he'll be able to have a big fight with the popular champion in the industry and win, then that will be a big break for his career.

In the current division he is at being a champion, there are other champions that are popular than him, if he'll able to unify the belt and he succeed, then that's it. Names like Teofimo Lopez, Rolando Romero, and Devin Haney... I think he could challenge them.
73  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: World Of Crypto Has Changed in Last 6 Years. on: April 25, 2024, 11:11:21 AM
just figure i share thoughts on crypto world, it sure has changed in last 6 years, where it used to be the free market and we could do as we please, with trades, buying and selling crypto
   
now its so different now

as the governments in the world have gotten involved and trying to make it harder in crypto
as in if you need to trade out to fiat ,

u have to pay taxes and lots of it
Governments are cracking down on exchanges and regulations etc.




in one way it does prove crypto has value and here to stay
There is more adoption going on. Slowly but it is happening,.


Do you think all this will make people to drop out of crypto and leave it to the people who have high wealth only?

Or will the average person still stay in the markets?

but its too bad that the powers that be are making it difficult





ur thoughts?


Bitcoin is meant for anonymity but the government never allowed it due to fraud and illegal activity which it blamed on Bitcoin.
Well, it is too bad to think but this is been accepted in the fact that it also gives us security and lessens fraud activities. But it doesn't mean it stops from adoption and besides, we don't need instant adoption instead, we want people to think about it more time and to understand carefully how it works.
Rich, poor, or average Joe - we can't expect them to stay strong and keep on investing because some of them will quit and leave. But new investors come in exchange for those who leave, it is a normal situation.
74  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re:  Fees are spiralling out of control due to halving. on: April 24, 2024, 09:46:35 PM
Well, we did not expect this will be going to happen. Of course, there is an increase in fees but what we have experienced now is somewhat different, I'd never think this would even take so long, unfortunately, until these days, it remains high. It is quite disappointing but there is nothing we can do other than accept the reality. We just think that the market is wildly changing now and even the fees.

Whatever the reason for this  ( some people are talking Runes), we'd just keep in mind that this will never be forever. And just like in the previous months, it getting back slow to the usual fee of 1- 5 sats.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 24, 2024, 01:55:43 PM
Crazy game 2 between the Lakers and the Nuggets. Everyone thought the Lakers are gonna steal the game 2 as they lead 20 pts at some pt in the 3rd quarter, but the Nuggets didn't give up, was able to establish momentum in the 4th. Though they did not take the lead, but Murray just made a buzzer beater to beat the Lakers by 2 pts.
Man, it looks like the Lakers really stand no chance against the Nuggets. They have not won against them for 2 years straight now lol.
Davis was almost perfect in the 1st half but totally disappeared in the 2nd half.
It looks the Lakers' chance to win this series is by miracle lol.

That game is so crazy, it made me scream so much in the house that I did not eat for the entire day LOL. It is just very frustrating to see them lose in the worst possible way. If it was a close game, it would be fine for me, but they choked! They had a 20-point lead in the 3rd quarter, but after that, everything went downhill. They're questioning the officiating, saying that the game is fine, but still, they should've adjusted to the game and didn't let the calls affect them. After getting the 20-point lead, they get complacent and comfortable; they try to play slow always and want to burn the clock that much; also, there are some plays where it is always isolation and ends up a missed shot, and Nuggets will start the fast break and get the point. At this point, I really believe that coaching is one aspect that the Lakers front office should look into. It's always like that: the Lakers have a great first half, then lose it all in the second. 

That's the real definition of what happened ot the lakers in game 2, "THEY CHOKED".....

I was already expecting they'll be able to steal one game on the road because of their great game, that 20 point lead slowly diminish because they didn't make the right adjustment when the Nuggets did. this is getting similar to what happened to them last season, but I'm hoping somehow I'm wrong because I don't want to see Lebron unhappy with the Lakers that might make him decide to leave this team. I guess I would go all in in game 3.
76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 24, 2024, 01:01:33 PM
For the odds, I see that the odds maker make it right and didn't underestimate Jaime.

@5.10... He was underestimated for sure? This looks like a similar odds on Haney vs Garcia fight but as we all know, there was a big upset happen in that fight as Garcia came to dominate Haney. Not sure if it could happen here but we all know that anything is possible in boxing. I hope I can see a knockout, it's always entertaining to see one, and since Jaime Munguia is still undefeated and has a decent KO rate, it should not be impossible for him to knockout Canelo.

I think Jaime is too underrated by the oddsmakers here. He is undefeated, former champion, young and heavy handed. Canelo though has the edge when it comes to skills and experience but Mungia will have the physical advantage being the younger fighter.

The difference with Haney is the punching power. If Haney has the power he could've put Garcia down with those body punches. Garcia's defense is still average but Haney does not have the power. Which is why I still cannot see Ryan capable of winning against the likes of Teofimo Lopez and Subriel Matias. Unless of course if Garcia hurt them right from the start as it will change the tempo of the fight.

Yeah, that could true. What if we are gonna witness here another defeat of Canelo. Just like his fight with Bivol, he was the heavy favorite but he loss in that fight. I just don't like what Canelo is doing because  he is not talking risk fighting fighters that are top rated, but who  knows he might be wrong in picking Jaime and might upset here.

At the stage of his career, he should be focusing on bigger fights, like pushing his limit as eventually he will retire, at least he tried to give impress the fans by giving them a more exciting fight to watch.
77  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading with AI on: April 23, 2024, 09:55:02 PM
Hi, Thank you for the messages. I still keep going on. After few days I can show the picture. The daily 2,5%-2,7% is still coming. Yesterday before using the amount I checked if it possible to take out the money, and it is possible to send back to my wallet. I am very curious how long will work that trading. Today is the 6th day that I tried that trading with 100€

Well, I was expecting that. However, these things that you have said are not enough to convince real traders because AI is not good at everything, especially in trading. Yes, we need some proof but don't blame us for thinking this is another Ponzi scheme because we are just careful and suspicious about it. Because with that amount, and you are saying daily profit that is very impossible.

But I give you a chance to show it and let us assume it works on your end but I'm still in doubt how it works in other hands. You are supposed not to say any amount when you are just trying to prove it (or not yet been tested), you instead do it first before making a conclusion that it really works.

Bitget is really encouraging people to trade. It can be a motivating factor but I'm not sure how effective it was in making traders improve.
IMO, this is another marketing trick used by the said platform and a way to build community. For starters, this could be a good opportunity for them but I'm not sure old traders will find it attractive because, for me, I prefer to stay on the platform that I am already familiar and comfortable with. It was not the prize or any rewards but what is most important for me the reputation and funds security. But of course, there is harm in trying especially those who are in search of trading platforms.

Yeah, it was a tight game. However, I wouldn't say the Lakers have no chance in this series, even though they have lost 2 games in a row. In fact, if you look at the stats, you can see that now the chance of the Lakers recovering from a 0-2 deficit is only 7.3%. It's not much, but I hope the Lakers will do their best in the next game.

It's just kinda sad that they already lost 2 games in a row despite all of their efforts to win but the Lakers still have a chance and they seem to have confidence to beat the Nuggets last night compared to their first game. let's just see how they will adjust on their 3rd game because they really need to win it because they can't afford to lose 2 years in a row and get swept again this time, that would be a historical humiliation for LBJ and the rest of the team. they should at least win one game or be in big trouble.  Cheesy Grin

Game 3 is the most important, they can't lose that game otherwise that simply means goodbye to the Lakers as no one in the history of NBA playoffs that a team has been able to come back from 3-0 deficit. That was a winnable game by the Lakers, the shots were falling very well, it's just unfortunate that they panic in the 4th quarter which is the quarter that Murray love to play, he loves to take big shots and that winning shot was one of remarkable one.
