Diversify is one of the means to secure it because you won't gonna be making it easy for the hackers or whoever wants to get it from you in one container, instead, you are scattering it to be safe and this also requires proper knowledge because you also need to have a good brain to preserve your wallet and keys at the right place. nevertheless, people should be careful and wise when it comes to their investment, not only choosing the right altcoins but also knowing how to safely secure their crypto assets once they have them.

The Boston Celtics are the first team to reach 20 wins this season by successfully and easily beating Orlando Magic and this will be a message for them and a chance to improve their play because there will be a higher chance that they could meet up in the NBA playoffs and the same scenario could happen unless they find a way to stop Tatum and Brown offense. Just like that, we are now a few months away from NBA all-stars week, and after that, the real game begins for the playoff teams.
623  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 15, 2023, 02:48:05 PM
Great and impressive win by the Clippers, even without PG, they defeated the Warriors. Although Golden State make it close in the 4th, but they didn't have the defense inside as they allow easy shots to Powell.

I was also impressed earlier, I mean, they are doing what the fans expected them to do because they have all the necessary players to dominate the other teams and they winning 7 straight right now which indicates that they are going to have a playoff spot if this will gonna continue. That would be better than not making it despite they have this great player with them. I really hope they play like this because those 4 players are one of my favorites when they are playing like how they used to be in their early years in the NBA.
624  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How exactly do you find new tokens before they blow up. on: December 15, 2023, 02:03:25 PM
You can follow accounts that post new projects, maybe on twitter or telegram but for a fact, there is no way for you to know who is going to blow up. They may post 50 projects and 1 blows up, but how do you even know? The only advice I can give which is known is that you do proper research and cross your fingers as you invest because today, there are so many projects coming up and you don’t even know who is faking and who is out to build something that can make a difference.

That's exactly the reason why they are hide to find because of how many other new coins are being created along with them and you cannot just simply randomly choose them without any proper research unless you are miraculously happy. Looks like right now, these coins are the trends nowadays because people want to invest in coins that are starting but have much more potential than those coins that have existed in the crypto market but have no progress whatsoever. instead of wasting money on those coins, it's better to look for new coins that have a high chance of blowing up once they hit the crypto exchanges.
625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 15, 2023, 01:15:22 PM
It is not as if their is something special that makes the rich to win gambling, it is that the rich people spend more money in gambling , they play more, they win more and they lose more. People needs to be aware that gambling doesn't favour anyone more , it is a game of luck that winning more can be as a result of how many games are played and how many games were lose. Poor people only play gambling whenever money is available for them to play,  they don't play much as the rich people play that is why exceed them in winning,  and loosing. Gambling is the more you play more you lose and win.

That's right. Even though others see that they are winning big, they are also losing big. They don't want to bet small like poor people because in the first place, they can afford it and there are also lots of people like that who don't care about the consequences of their actions no matter what will be the outcome of it. It could be looked at as a praiseworthy action among gamblers, but for others who are carefully taking care of their money, this is not right and has never been justified. nevertheless, people shouldn't take everything for granted because once any of that is no longer in your hands, you will start to realize that you should have not done all of that.
626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would it be enough to buy 100 dollars worth of Bitcoin every month? on: December 15, 2023, 12:48:59 PM
I think this is enough for someone who is not that rich, to begin with, because this is a huge chunk of his salary anyway. People are investing depending on their source of income, they just want to make everything smoothly. Others are just risk takers, they know that there is a tendency that they won't gonna get their capital back sooner than they expected but they decide to take it the hard way by selling expensive properties or they even take loans just for investing in bitcoins. well, this is too risky and not recommended.
627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 14, 2023, 01:42:08 PM
Oh my goodness! Victor Wembanyama is making history for the San Antonio Spurs franchise. Longest losing streak at 18 now. I just checked the worst NBA team losing streak and it is made by the Philadelphia 76ers at 28 straight losses. I guess the Spurs should not reached that 28-losing streak. There are 4 games that they have a chance to win against Portland, Chicago, and Utah.

Fun fact, Joel Embiid was a rookie when Philly had 28 straight losses. Luckily for Embiid, he was not healthy and never played a single game during that season. Grin

Wow! I never heard of it happening just recently in my time, I thought it was in the '90s Cheesy Grin

What exactly is the problem here? I mean what they are missing?

Because you cannot reason out that Wemby is just a rookie because he also has teammates that he can rely on. It seems like they are having trouble and they are just getting played at whenever they step on the court. they cannot afford to continue this scenario because it's too embarrassing since they don't have enough reason why they are being like this.

Everything in the media is just business no matter what they say about their companies and slogans. Because they are funded by those billionaires who want to shift the minds of the people into buying their products they are also profiting from these media and they are scratching their backs with each other. Thankfully, we have social media right now though they are not 100% accurate, we have some idea of what other countries are suffering unlike before we were totally unaware about it. Hopefully, they won't cut this source for us because it's really hard to rely on media now that we all know what they are really all about.
629  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto exchange HTX sees outflows top $258M following exploit on: December 14, 2023, 12:30:10 PM
Can't really trust CEX exchanges especially if the owners are like Justine SUN what if they are all inside jobs , if you are cex user and your assets are all frozen you cant do anything about it, for now I only trust Binance among all CEX out there most transparent above them all, but always remember everything online is vulnerable to hacking so be very careful storing your assets in CEX for a long period of time.

I have already experienced such a scenario and honestly, you can't do anything about it when you want to get back your coins from their exchanges because they completely stop the flow of withdrawal and you don't have any other choice but to wait for them to open it back. You can search it on YouTube when Okex has closed their withdrawal in the past and while my XRP is inside their exchange, there are lots of FUDS going on around in the social media where you can read that they will never come back again which is frustrating because I have lots of money in their exchange.
630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler takes his own life after a loss. on: December 14, 2023, 11:57:40 AM
The crazy part is that gambling addiction seems so harmless at first which for this business man may have been because your so blind to everything around you that all your focused on is trying to win big, double your money or trying to recover an earlier loss not knowing that everything around you is falling apart little by little it starts to affect your mood, your family and even your job and in this case here, your business. It’s a crazy world to live the gamblers life.

That's why they are advised not to engage in such hobbies if they cannot control their emotions and they quickly get hyped because once they get addicted to it, there will be no turning back from it unless they learn their lesson quickly. Most of them are not wise enough to calculate what will gonna happen in the future because they have no idea and they only see the fun and entertainment while playing. This also happened to lots of the people in our community and they all became like the worst people in the world because of the traits they acquired from playing almost every day, people lost trust in them because of their addictions.
631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is wiser? on: December 14, 2023, 11:23:42 AM
Most people only invest what they can afford because it's really hard to go 100% unless you are used to risking your wealth throughout your life and you are making your investment like gambling. I think others always choose the safest one we have pointed out above and to buy bitcoins with the money you don't have any use for is the right thing to do because after all, bitcoins are still volatile and anything could happen in the crypto market that could lead to your great regret of neverending happiness if you hit the jackpot investing at the right time with huge capital.
632  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hackers claim $2 million in Bitcoin after stealing Insomniac game data on: December 13, 2023, 03:40:22 PM
This is concerning and distressing. The gaming community has always been a close-knit and supportive one, and it's disconcerting to see such malicious activities affecting a reputable game developer. How can they effectively address this issue and recover from the attack? Do they need to succumb to the hacker’s demands? Cybersecurity remains an ongoing challenge, it's targeting the crypto industry, recently it was the exchangers and other DeFi platforms, and now this. They need to enhance the digital security measures.

They are just rushing towards releasing without any advance checking of their security because they just want to get some money from their users and players as soon as possible and the result is this kind of tragedy which leads to their game date being compromised. This may also lead to some confusion because those who are hostile to bitcoins are not stopping from throwing rocks against Bitcoin, this will be another opportunity for them to add their lies and propaganda to further slow the progress of the financial freedoms with bitcoins.
633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 13, 2023, 03:16:10 PM

The good thing about Mark Magsayo is that he is under MP Promotions which takes good care of his career. Though not yet on the top 5 of each sanctioning bodies but somehow he will be there in a few fights due to the connections of Sean Gibbons. I do agree that he still needs a tune-up fight before fighting for a belt even though he was amazing in his last fight.

He won unforgettably and he finished his opponent with a deadly move that ended the fight. Looks like he is ready for another high-level opponent that could test his pro boxing skills or maybe a chance for a championship bout. Nevertheless, his next opponent is surely not gonna rush to fight him without any proper training. That knockout is a message for his next opponent that they are in need of new skills to counter that technique in order to win against Magsayo.
634  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trend or long term projects? on: December 13, 2023, 02:45:07 PM
Depends on your skills because you need to have proper knowledge while you are investing in some trend coins because there are certainties that you need to rush to sell your coins because they reach their peak, and after that, they will gonna fall dramatically and it won't have any assurance if it's gonna recover in the future. As for other top altcoins that have been there for a while now, you can just simply choose some of them and carefully pick up the one that suits your budget well but this is not an easy task to do because you need to do your research before making moves for your investment.
635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: December 13, 2023, 02:02:51 PM

yes, there are many of such cases in gambling and these are definitely not good
playing with money is only good if you're playing with money you can afford to lose and if it doesn't affect your life in a really negative way.
what are the things people can try to learn and practice that will believe they not to fall victim of these kind of situations?

They should just simply look at the result of their actions both good sides and bad sides, if they see that there is more harm than benefits, they should just leave it and look for other good activities or hobbies that could help them progress safely. This is not the case for most people because they want some risk and they are rushing things without reflecting on the consequences. The result often leads to broken families and misery because of what they failed to understand before engaging in such actions.
636  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trade altcoins during the bull run or just hodl? on: December 13, 2023, 01:36:28 PM
Frankly, I personally really like buying coins with low capitalization, such as meme coins, of course those which have good potential, such as shit and doge. When the bull run arrives and all the coins have experienced an increase, that's when I will release the coins I hold, because of the goal. I invest to make a profit, and I will not keep coins that have actually given me a profit, after I sell them I will buy them again when the price drops again, or at least buy other potential coins,

This is what I am doing too because it has more chance of getting a high amount of income but only risking a little amount of money but this is not possible without any knowledge because the list is overwhelming and we cannot make it just easy to choose every time we want to invest of those coins. I recommend others not to blindly follow others when it comes to investment but instead choose to make their investment unique and have some guts and courage to wait for it until it succeeds. As long as it has some honest developers and they have a plan to further update their platforms, they could easily increase their market.
637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 13, 2023, 12:21:55 PM
When it reaches the point where the husband and wife are actively gambling, it will have a huge negative effect on the family. Households no longer have balance, family finances begin to shrink and children begin to lack attention and affection from their parents. The gambling habit of a husband/wife is the beginning of the destruction of a family, their selfishness can cause their children to become depressed and their intelligence level begins to be hampered. They have to set restrictions on gambling simultaneously in order to maintain family finances and have more time with their children.

I have a friend who had a similar experience where everyone in his family was addicted to gambling, they were playing all day and didn't really care about the consequences of their actions and surely some of them got in trouble for the same reasons and now are in jails without getting any chance of parole. Because of gambling, they became greedy thieves and they are taking it a little bit too far by entering the houses of their victims and getting everything inside as much as possible just to fund their addictions, but drugs also have some contributions to their actions because they pair it with their addictions to gambling that eventually lead them to get in jail.
638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You must have a source on: December 13, 2023, 11:50:57 AM
This is right because you cannot risk like the others when they sell out all their belongings and houses just to convert it all and invest in bitcoins. they took it too far and decided to leave with the tent in the forest. this is not recommended for others that have no security in their country or they have no alternatives that could support their needs in terms of finances especially to buy their essential needs every day. One of the good things to do is not to rush and take it easy and also invest only what you can afford without hurting yourself with its consequences if the result of your investment in bitcoins has not shown any good result yet.
639  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you think about Solana tokens? Are they worth it? on: December 12, 2023, 02:27:18 PM
It depends on what they have to offer in the future because the other competitors are working towards innovations and developments that would easily make their coins successful in the future and also with that, the price will significantly increase depending on the situation of the market just like what we have witnessed today. You need to check every roadmap and see if they are really implementing what they are saying without any major delay because if they only talk about it without any implementations, then it is clearly a red flag.
640  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Staying away from scam. on: December 12, 2023, 01:43:25 PM
The sure thing is, that there will be lots of propaganda and some people who will gonna take advantage of the current hype, to stay away or prevent yourself from becoming a victim of their frauds and scams, you need to have enough knowledge to shield yourself from their sugar-coated worse and false promises. Yesterday I saw a post on social media where they asked for people who were victims of Ponzi Schemes in the past and you cannot believe what I saw, though it's only restricted in our country, the number of victims is huge and some of them even blame bitcoins for their loss without knowing that it's also a victim like them because it was used as a prop to lure them and make them believe that is a way to invest in bitcoins.
