741  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what are we expecting for the rest of 2023? on: July 11, 2023, 09:52:05 PM
Last year(2022) we've been experiencing a huge drop and price corrections but this 2023, it was somewhat not that it looks like we are in the recovery phase which is why I was optimistic that this year we can even just move high and reaching $40k is quite possible. And I was looking forwards to the upcoming halving to have a dragging impact and increase demand. Because in the past years before halving, a price increase is visible and I'm also expecting that situation as well this time.

It’s good that you are cautious and advising others to be cautious as well. It’s important to understand the reason behind prices moving up and analyze the benefits and demerits of the project before investing.
Well, if it rises due to some hypes and manipulations, you'll gonna be staying away from that project because the next thing that will happen is an abrupt dump. But if it rises because it really has the potential and has a use case, that something will tell us that the future of this project is bright. However, when talking about new projects, we really have to take extra caution because the majority are scams. Many projects have only had a good start but in the later part, it dump slowly until it was gone totally.

Wemby is gonna take the break in the NBA summer league and will now focus on the upcoming season. This is as per the decision of his team, Spurs.

Spurs decide that Victor Wembanyama’s Summer League is over after two games

I guess this is all part of the grooming plan and he had shown enough for the summer league. The preparation for the upcoming season should be prioritized then.

Right decision for your valuable asset, instead of risking him playing inside summer league, it's much better to him focusing
with what he needed to improve after that experienced.

I know the management and coach Pop will give him the guidance that he needed to be more prepared when the regular season starts.

He needs to work for any improvements that he can develop, more on his individual talents while waiting for the upcoming
season, better to keep him healthy.

The Spurs haven't been a playoff team since DeRozan was traded, so this could be a promising start for the team to make it back to the playoffs. However, it's crucial for Wemby to stay healthy, as they need a dominant big guy. If he can contribute an average of 20+ points to the team and maintain his defensive presence, their chances of making a playoff run are quite favorable.

On that note, if the coach is prioritizing those players who have already secured their spot, we might not see Kai getting good minutes. Maybe he will be playing to give some rest to those priority players, enough to say that he is able to play during the summer league, but the hope of being noticed might be another question. As a fan, I want him to show his talent and develop, but if there's nothing to show up, or I mean there's not enough playing time to showcase that talent, then we might not expect anything great to happen to Kai.

Maybe it's still not for him, or we never know what will happen. We're still hoping and looking for the best outcome for Kai.

I think you may be right there mate, Kai Sotto might not get good playing minutes in the summer league because of that reason. On its second game, the Magic still hasn't fielded Kai Sotto, even a single minute so we might as well not hope that Kai Sotto will make it into the NBA, sad to say that but that would be the truth.

The crowd was even cheering and asking the coach to play Kai, but it appears that the decision is final, and they are not giving Kai any minutes. It's frustrating, but that's how the game goes. Better luck next time for Kai. I'm sure that as long as he continues to pursue his dream, one day he'll achieve it, especially considering he is still young.

NLEX vs Meralco Bolts
TNT Katropa vs Rain Or Shine


^^ Games for tomorrow, odds not out yet but the first game looks pretty even I think and either team could win the game so will bet for the underdog on that game but on the second game, ROS will be the favorite and I'll go for them.

I'm leaning on the Rain or Shine and Meralco Boltz, I might make it a parlay bet.
745  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Education and money as the key to Bitcoin adoption. on: July 10, 2023, 08:32:41 PM
Lack of education, technical knowledge, and awareness has been the major challenge for Bitcoin enthusiasts, it is high time we kick-start the mass eradication of Bitcoin illiteracy in our society, preach about Bitcoin, but don't force it on anyone,

...

The sad thing is that many people know about Bitcoin but only a few gain interest while many of them just ignore it. It is important to have a proper education about crypto but also, it was very important if that person had an interest in this. Indeed, we can't force someone to adopt and use Bitcoin as currency, it was their choice either but somehow, correcting them with their negative views could help and enlighten their thinking and would possibly change their mind.

Honestly, convincing people was hard and we can't expect them to change right away but once seeing it was been used by others, this will also boost their trust and confidence.
746  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die on: July 07, 2023, 07:36:28 PM
Trying to force someone to learn Bitcoin should not be the case. As all activities are becoming digital day by day, everyone needs to know about digital virtual currency.  But there is no need to invest or force someone to invest.I have told many of my friends about Bitcoin but I have not forced anyone to invest in Bitcoin.  If someone is more interested in Bitcoin and wants to invest with risk tolerance then he can invest.  I think there is no need to force anyone to invest in Bitcoin.Most people think Bitcoin investment is only profitable and they encourage others to do so.  But later most people suffer losses.
We don't have to force someone to learn but we just cater to those individuals that are willing to listen and are able to change their mindset. But still, don't overly think that all of them will believe you as well. They might listen but unfortunately, they also carry some doubts which in the end, they do nothing and ignore the opportunity. That is why if you are teaching 100 people, we can't expect that all of them will invest and adopt Bitcoin, it was good to see if 50% of them will follow what we said.
747  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The price dropping, any reason the huge dump? on: July 07, 2023, 07:12:50 PM
Drop isn't new in the market, just consider it as free fall as everything happens here - up and down. And it was not the thing we worried about but rather think that this is really how the market works. Might be because of the SEC, some FUDs, negative news, etc - all of them are a sort of manipulating factor that would affect the price but just believe that Bitcoin won't go that low anymore that we must be worried off, better make this a reason to buy more the same thing that the others did.

Currently, there are no concrete news about Dame's trade and Portland is still giving the Heat the chance to have Dame this offseason.
Regarding about the trade, it seems that a 3rd party is needed on the trade and it's the Brooklyn Nets who surfaced amongst all teams who are interested to facilitate it because Portland have changed their mind and that they are now not interested in getting Tyler Herro.

Here's the Mock Trade:
~
Source: https://allucanheat.com/2023/07/06/perfect-3-team-trade-damian-lillard-miami-heat/

It's funny. This site calls it "a perfect 3-team trade", but I'd say it's a perfect deal only for the Nets and the Heat but not for the Blazers. The way I see it, getting a few future first-round picks, as well as an aging Lowry and a weird guy like Simmons, would be a dumb decision by the Blazers' management. In that case, the Blazers would look like the Rockets, who have been trying to rebuild their team for a few seasons now.

That's what would happen if they give up their main players without receiving quality players in return. They might need to wait a little longer to rebuild their team effectively. It would be beneficial for Portland to acquire a star player, especially considering Lillard's desire to leave the team. As for the Heat, Jimmy could be a good trade option, but it remains uncertain whether the Heat would agree to such a trade.

We don't have a clue yet about what will happen, as the teams involved have already laid their cards on the table. However, it appears that Portland still remains uninterested in the situation.
749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 07, 2023, 11:17:26 AM

Usually people who are in a hurry or are impatient will experience chaos in gambling,....

That's for sure, gambling is a kind of fun or entertainment that is too risky. We are dealing with money here, so if we get too emotional, especially when we experience significant losses, it can lead us to chase our losses in the hopes of turning a profit.

However, we fail to understand that winning every day in gambling is not realistic. In fact, the majority of gamblers experience losses in the long run. This reality alone should serve as a strong reminder for us to manage our finances responsibly and not spend more than we can afford to lose.
750  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will fall or rise? $30400 the recent price on: July 06, 2023, 10:37:06 PM
Sideways are always possible, but having a little more optimism on the price won't hurt either. If actually bitcoin is going sideways over the course of the year in the $28k - $35k price range, then this would be a good phase to do a lot of entries and DCA. Of course that's because there's a lot of confidence about the coming year especially since the halving is very likely to push bitcoin prices even higher.

If you want to invest at the current price, then the best advice is still to do DCA. Prices can fluctuate sharply due to FUD which sometimes just attacks the market, but recovery will also follow. Accumulate as much as possible and hold on to your bitcoin for the long term.
Holding on to bitcoins for the long term is the best way to go. By implementing the DCA strategy it will be very helpful. Instead of having to panic to keep selling, it's better to buy gradually with the money we have. the price keeps fluctuating and the FUD keeps coming, so it's an opportunity to start buying. The price will not continue to fall, there will be times when the price will be bullish and reach the highest target again.
FUDs still give influence the market trend, many people got hooked up when hearing negative things and started to worry about the future. So instead of making themselves calm, they get into panic selling. Now, the news has become the main market player and it dictates what will happen next that is why whales and those manipulators are using this to manipulate the situation. But despite the change after the SEC announcement, I don't see the price of Bitcoin will dump hard instead, I was believing that it continues to move high surpassing $31k.
751  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin halving next month - worth investing? on: July 06, 2023, 09:58:15 PM
I have only just come across Litecoin after reading it’s next halving is in early August.

Everyone says how well the markets move when Bitcoin halving occurs so is it not an ideal time to invest in Litecoin with its halving so close?

I am thinking of throwing in a bit of money in the hope it at least does a 2x in the next month or so.

Anyone else into Litecoin and will it rise during the halving next month?
Honestly, only a few people got to look and become interested in Litecoin because it did not really have the potential to grow and be profitable. We can't blame them either because even me, it never encourages us to invest. Because it was not just the halving is our metric to see if that project has the potential to grow but we are looking at its monthly performance and sadly, Litecoin doesn't make it well which it means that there are no active trades happening. And even if the halving comes next month this won't hype the project and see no impact on its price.
752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 06, 2023, 01:54:44 PM
Others are unable to control themselves because of greed; others want to win back their losses, and others want to win big, which is why they keep losing. But again, we are lucky that we can control our emotions when gambling, and we should continue it. Also, it is better if we can limit our gambling habits to once a week or once a month so that we are not prone to addiction. Also, we shouldn't treat it as a source of income, as that can trigger us to bet more. Gambling is just for fun and entertainment.
It's not called luck, as controlling our emotions is based on our will. Luck is when we can't control the outcome, and it turns out to be in our favor. If we can't control our emotions, then it is likely to result in bigger problems in the long run. Therefore, I believe we should not consider gambling, as self-control is a must.
753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Oscar Valdez vs Emmanuel Navarette - Aug 12 on: July 06, 2023, 01:09:30 PM
These are two great boxers with their own boxing tactics and skills. I love to watch Valdez fight as he is a boxer that never gets tired and don't accept defeat easily. The booker gave Valdez more advantage of winning this fight and I wouldn't doubt Valdez strength and skills. It wouldn't be an easy fight and I look forward to see if this fight will go down like that of Morales vs Barrera. Mexicans are very good boxers and this fight is between two boxers from the same country.
Valdez may have been dominant before his loss to Shakur, but now that he's not undefeated, it's likely that his confidence has been affected. Navarrete may be considered the underdog in this fight, but I believe he has the capability to win. He just needs to execute the right strategy, perhaps even replicating what Shakur did if possible. However, if Navarrete prefers to fight toe to toe, it could still be entertaining for the crowd, even though the advantage may not be in his favor.
754  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I become a successful Bitcoin investor as a newbies? on: July 05, 2023, 09:48:19 PM
 -work hard
 -keep on learning
 -be patient
 -keep motivated despite the losses and mistakes

Well, it wasn't easy as we read. Trading is a difficult job that most newbies had failed. Because if we want to succeed in trading, it was not just by simply following those things but also, it needs consistency which I find usually missing. To become successful, we have to step up and never called ourselves as newbie anymore.
755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: July 05, 2023, 12:06:13 PM
If in case he will win and Casimero will continue his winning stats, we might see them meeting in the same ring as long as Inoue
choose to stay in this current division.

f Inoue is also willing to fight Casimero, it would be intriguing, considering that Inoue had a chance to face Casimero in the bantamweight division but chose not to pursue it. Now that they will meet in the super bantamweight division, hopefully Casimero will become a mandatory challenger, leaving Inoue with no excuses to avoid fighting him.
756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: July 05, 2023, 11:35:56 AM
Just one question to the veterans out here, if i bet for Ginebra now for that ML odds, would i be violating bookies' TC since i already bet for Meralco last night with an odds of @2.05?

Firstly, I am not a veteran, but I can answer your question based on my experience. I have done that before, and I have had no issues when it comes to waiting for the bets to be settled. In my opinion, there is no violation involved in taking advantage of such opportunities to make money by betting on both teams and accepting the odds offered. Such opportunities are rare, and besides, the potential winnings are typically just a small percentage when betting on both teams with underdog moneyline odds.
757  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People are giving too much importance to exchanges on: July 04, 2023, 09:56:19 PM
~snip~
You don't need an exchange to buy Bitcoin. At least centralized ones like Binance. There are a lot of P2P exchanges.

You literally need an exchange to buy Bitcoin with another form of money. That's what an exchange is.

It can be centralized or decentralized, that doesn't matter. We will need exchanges in one way or another as long as most people get paid in fiat for their goods and services.
Besides, their participation and existence make help gain more attention and traders. In fact, this is also the reason why cryptocurrency becomes known globally due to ads that flooded the internet. Yes, without them, I couldn't think it will survive and even if we think about P2P transactions, I know they are also reliant on exchanges. These exchanges play an important role in the crypto space whether it was DEX or CEX, they are really making the crypto space alive.
758  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How big is your optimism for crypto investment? on: July 04, 2023, 09:29:34 PM
I have been involved in the crypto market for 6-7 years, and my optimism for crypto investments remains consistently high. Over these years, I have understood both bear and bull markets, which is why I have complete trust in crypto investments. Despite encountering various instances of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD), the market has consistently overcome challenges and risen every time. I have no doubt that it will rise again this time as well. The survey you mentioned also reflects the same sentiment, showing that investors are highly optimistic about the crypto market.
That is how we were supposed to do - understand and adopt the situation because it was volatile.
Those who will be able to understand will remain strong and keep believing that it will rise from the dip and make a bullish again. That is why we are encouraged to hold when market crises come because it eventually changes later to avoid losses. Perhaps, we are looking forward that after halving next year, we are able to experience bullish moments again.
759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: July 04, 2023, 11:06:23 AM
Nope, Inoue already has established a good name and he has been mentioned by several boxing legends and some active boxers as well. Whoever Inoue is facing it will always going to generate a good money because the boxing fans would come to see Inoue's performance.

 A boxer who have an excellent skill sets can be easily become popular that will attract boxing fans.
While he could generate a good amount of money, it doesn't compare to what he could make in the higher division. We can take a cue from the experience of Pacquiao. He was already popular in the lower division, but he didn't earn the same kind of money until he moved up to the higher division.
760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: July 04, 2023, 10:04:39 AM

And to think, maybe Moloney can indeed evade Donaire for good because there are other vacant belts that needs to be possessed and given the latter's situation, he might not last that long in the industry where he can fight Moloney and be the undisputed champion while there are no boxers that are much stronger than him.
That doesn't sound good; a champion evading his fellow champion gives the impression that he doesn't want to achieve the ultimate success of being the best of the best. If only champions were required for a unification fight, we would certainly witness an entertaining matchup. As it stands, Moloney can cherry-pick opponents to maintain his championship status.
