781  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to identify shitcoins? on: September 08, 2023, 07:29:29 AM
There are many ALT coins in the market and many ALT coins are disappearing from the market all the time. Coins that are disappearing from the market mean that investors who invest in those coins are being cheated out of the market.
Perhaps, you can't expect them to stay but they've gone later. Every day, there is a new project will be created and there are only 2 reasons; either it will scam people or it will be useful to the community.

As the number of altcoins has been growing fast, the more it becomes hard to identify which of them as we are already flooded with shitcoins/scam projects. That is why many investors (newbies) usually fall into investing in the wrong projects. And so we have to be more careful and stop rushing but much better if we just invest in old projects.

Trading is always overrated as one cannot simply get into trading and expect high profits afterwards. In fact, trading will definitely put us into more losses and failures if we rush into trading without knowing the prerequisites to trade. Therefore, if there are no knowledge and skills and there are no reliable experiences in trading, it’s better to never jump into trading because surely, it will only test our patience and persistence through consistent losing.
That will happen if you don't have knowledge about it which is why we have to study trading first before it. Many people underestimate trading as they think that it is easy and they have witnessed how difficult it is in actual trade.

That is why most trading platforms offer Demo accounts in order to implant trading ideas but still, it was not enough. The truth is that trading is not all about knowledge, it also requires skills, and being good at TA is a great advantage which I see that many traders don't have.
783  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Frank Martin - tentative date 11/16 or 12/9 on: September 07, 2023, 01:53:09 PM
Boxrec is not updated yet - Frank Martin record.

Anyway, this should be a great fight for Shakur as he will face an undefeated boxer. As usual, I will still be rooting for Shakur as he makes his opponents look like amateurs with his unbeatable skills, although it can be a bit boring, I have to admit. But from a bettor's perspective, I would call myself a fool if I do not bet on him.

Based on https://www.oddschecker.com/us/boxing-mma/boxing/shakur-stevenson-v-frank-martin, Shakur is a -500 favorite.
784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: September 06, 2023, 01:40:09 PM
I still can't see odds on this fight. But I am expecting Casimero to be the favorite. Oguni is not really a solid fighter that would threaten Casimero. He's not in the current rankings in his division. Although this fight will happen in Oguni's home country and that is his advantage, I don't see how Casimero would be affected. Casimero has been entering lions den in the past, going to his opponents' backyard and win. If the ML odds for Casimero isn't that low, it's a safe bet.
As far as boxing odds goes, specially if there are no hype like this one, most likely the odds are going to be put out in the last minutes. Most likely maybe a day or two on our favourite sport bookies.

But if we look at the records, it's obvious that John Riel Casimero will be the odds favorite here. And I doubt see a enticing odds on the ML. Might be better if it will be listed to look for other options like per round, or round range bet.

Most of the time, if the fight isn't that popular, the odds are not released early. Since this isn't a championship fight, we can expect the odds to come out a week or a day before the fight, so just be patient as we'll eventually be able to place our bets at the right time. However, I'm expecting that Casimero will be the heavy favorite, so there's likely no value in the moneyline. Perhaps betting on a knockout win within a specific round range could be an interesting option.

Yes, for me coach Tim will be enough in case super coach Chot will be true to his words that he will let go the post, I mean coach Tab is coach Tab and his contributions to the development of young generations really bring great outcome to the players, though his greatness is just wasted by the fact that super coach Chot can easily manipulate as he's the golden son of the SBP, hahaha just kidding but hopefully just still hoping for the best for our nationals and for the future development of this program.

For coach Tab, wherever he is, I believe that he respects the management and he will continue to be an inspiration to those who manage to work and play with him.

Coach Chot Reyes and assistant coach Tim Cone will still be the official coach and assistant coach this coming Asian Games as their names were submitted by the POC before July 25, the deadline for the roster's submission, and whomever they put on the roster will be the official players and coaches so coach Chot Reyes is not yet officially retired from Gilas coaching job.

What's up with his statement that he stepped aside after the game against China? Does it mean he will still be part of the coaching staff but not as the head coach? If that's the scenario, I don't find it helpful, as the old system might still be in use, and it's possible he could still influence the head coach's decisions in practice. I don't understand it; please enlighten me if you know.
Their win against China is speaking that Gillas has a chance to win every game if theres an teamwork and good coaching staff then for sure we can compete to other country. And about coach can't Reyes the good decision he made is that he is not focusing on Jordan Clarkson to carry the team and like in that game, Other player has a chance to shows who they are in the court like abundo he is very good player and he shows to us in their game against China.
I don't see much difference in that game. Clarkson was still the focal point of the attack, and the game resulted in a dominant win for the Philippines because of Clarkson's five consecutive three-point shots. If that didn't happen, the outcome could have been different, as China was in good momentum, and sometimes we also struggle in the fourth quarter.

ok. I believe by now, everyone who's a user of the internet ought to know that in the future Blockchain will be a great tool for almost all institutions and systems.
Also believe that ever since world celebrities are coming out to tell the world that they invested in Bitcoin and institutional investment organizations saying their valuable shareholders are showing huge interest in BTC I believe it's easy for everyone reasonable person to know that BTC is already changing the monetary system.
It would be if they took the time to investigate this market a little bit, but even such a small task is too much to ask for a great deal of people out there, so they invest in this market not because they think bitcoin has superior characteristics than fiat, or because they believe on the long term future of bitcoin, they simply want to make money, and while that is a valid approach, it is likely such a person will not be able to deal with the volatility of this market when the only thing that they care about is the money they can make.
Oh, they simply think about today and tomorrow but never think about the future and the long-term impact. But those who see it will be able to trust and despite the crashing situation, they invest more because of what is in their mind because this could help them achieve their goals. 
But because of the volatility of the market, we can't make all people think the same and remain positive during price corrections. Yes, many people still don't understand and remain doubtful about the future of Bitcoin.

When he will be a free agent? Not next year, but the year after.

After this season, he will have a player option. He can opt out on it, then find another team, or stay with the Bucks, and opt in. It will all depend on their performance this upcoming season.

Is the trade really going to happen? Not this season, but after the season depending on the performance of the team. Well, like you said, there will be no trades that're happening this upcoming season, so I guess it's too early to tell which teams he will land. It's just that, the statement that he just said to the media is that powerful that many teams are interested in him already even though he isn't eligible to be traded... for now.

Yes, he will become a free agent in 2026, so there's still time for the Bucks to try to convince Giannis to change his mind. A strong performance next season could likely help Giannis achieve his goal. If the Bucks win a championship, there's no reason for Giannis to consider playing for another team. Therefore, the management needs to ensure they have a good coach who can help the team improve.

With a new coach in place, the upcoming season becomes crucial.

Milwaukee Bucks Hire Adrian Griffin As Head Coach

How do you like this new coach?
788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: September 05, 2023, 01:04:04 PM
Tapales was lucky enough to rid of Murodjon Akhmadaliev because the latter's camp hasn't had the idea to bring up a rematch clause before they draw and signed the contract of their fight. That gives me some though that perhaps it wasn't an honest mistake made by the team because they were the champion, and it was big hole that they didn't fill and so I think that they might've underestimated Tapales hence why there wasn't a rematch clause.

Perhaps they underestimated Tapales, assuming their fighter would easily defeat the challenger. However, the outcome was quite different—a closely contested match that ended in an upset. Now, Tapales holds the championship title and has an opportunity to prove himself against a terrifying opponent, a true warrior with a dominant track record. It's a big challenge for him as a boxer, but that's the nature of their profession. Boxers strive to face the best in order to become the best.

Strive to keep that hype and continue to stay at the top of the mountain,

Something that each fighter wanted to have during the peak of their careers. We are seeing that from how Inoue's trying
to unify another division and maybe, if still possible, to move to another division and try to duplicate the same achievements
that he got from the past division he went thru.

I saw an article yesterday stating that Inoue wants to fight Casimero, but the latter should agree to undergo random drug testing. Perhaps they are aware that Casimero has the power to defeat their champion, and if Casimero agrees to this condition, then I believe the negotiation would be easier. This is the first time I've read that Inoue is asking for a drug test from his opponent. Usually, he's the one asked to undergo a drug test because of his power.
789  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why should I invest in Qizon Coin? on: September 04, 2023, 09:54:41 PM
Your words OP is quite interesting but it was hard to believe in someone who is promoting a new project. Why? Most new projects show good only at the start, developers are very active as well but later on, you will see their true colors and project intention - scam. I'm not yet saying this project is useless but still it can't buy my interest.

If the team wanted to be recognized more and gain trust in the community, it is better target to be listed in reputable exchanges or big names as they can help the project grow. But still impossible if the project is useless and has no use-case because the words themselves can't be enough to drag people to invest.
790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto betting on: September 02, 2023, 09:12:28 PM
in this forum alone, you will already get tons of good reviews under the gambling discussion board. so if you happen to find this forum, you will likely find out these reputable casinos to play with.
you can also check the validity of the reviews if you will actually play on the site. but if you are in doubt, just use small amount of money to test the site.

That's the good thing about forums in general. Users can interact with each other and correct each other. If someone sees a member sharing wrong information either intentionally or not which may mislead whoever reads it, he can easily login and correct him. What makes bitcointalk exceptional is that it encourages free speech. So, you don't have to worry about your opinions being censored.
You can't see that on mist of review websites.
In this forum, we haven't judged and gotten imprisoned if we got it wrong instead, we've been corrected. Although the forum alone has enough information to be found about gambling but as a reader, we don't just have to rely on a single source of information but to gather more which is I see how the research is made. In order to avoid confusion, we also have to know how to analyze the statement of whether is true or false as not all the information that can be found around is right, many we're also wrong.
791  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What happened to Crypto Volatility..??? on: September 02, 2023, 02:28:18 PM
So i've been a trader since early 2017 and i have never seen such low volatility in market. Even at the time of 2018 bear run the things were quite slow but this time its totally different. It makes a move and consolidates for like a month or two now. Which was never the case in past.

Its possible that only i feel like that and other people still see it like the normal bitcoin trend. But there was fun every week in crypto before.

What do you guys think ?? Is it just me or some of you others feel the same??

And if it is like that then what do you all think when the wild ride start again like old days ??

It looks different now and it was more on the manipulating side making the market less volatile than before. And why? We also think that new investors and traders have different market approaches and so these old investors have also changed their behavior as they are more focused on controlling themselves, unlike the old times.
I believe that everyone can notice the different market movements by now compared before but because we are not very certain about every change, we just thought that it was the same scenario. Sooner or later, the more it becomes less volatile, IMO.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Still not a safe practice even if it works on: September 02, 2023, 01:25:31 PM
This is the importance of reading the terms and agreement, adding with the FaQs so you can get an idea if the VPN is supported for the platform, if they support the use of the VPN make sure your VPN only has one IP address most likely cause is the users makes a different country to login with their account consider with different IP giving by their VPN and those login make suspicious to the platform and possible they tag the account as suspicious activity and possible freeze even the balance of it. But if you are registered in just single iP and once get detected still the same there's might a lower chance that your account still safe.
Once our account is detected as suspicious, we will certainly get in trouble and the worst thing to happen is to seize our funds. It was a violation of their rules which we don't have to break because the consequence is harsh which we really have to regret in the end. I think even some people do it successfully but I don't encourage doing it. We might not caught now or tomorrow as we are very careful of our IP and gadgets we use but can't be sure in the coming days.
793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: September 02, 2023, 12:43:29 PM
~snip~


In my opinion, gambling addiction has nothing to do with the success of the gambler. Based on the mathematical analysis of gambling in the long term almost every gambler will lose to the casino or bookmaker. What success are you talking about? We are all well aware that gambling is not a job, which means in this area will not be able to earn consistently. Today you are successful, and tomorrow you lose everything. Or am I wrong?
Agree with you. Success in gambling of one who plays gambling does not make the person not to be addicted. Addiction in gambling is one who can't stay without playing gambling it doesn't mean if the game comes out successfully or not . One who succeeds in gambling must be addicted to gambling because I don't think it will be easy for the person to stop gambling. People get addicted to gambling because of the money involved in it, if success can make someone play gambling all time that means it is addiction.
They are as addicted as we think but the difference is that they are able to control themselves from not overspending which is why even they are into gambling every day but still, they keep on limits. That is why they become successful and their bad experience taught them something about how to stay in gambling without compromising their finances. It could be different from what we literally understand about addiction but as we are in gambling, losses is very possible even though we are successful.
794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 02, 2023, 11:59:11 AM
It is going to be exciting if they can do it this season and if it's possible to make some trade offers to the Bucks. But if not, we have to wait until a year until he goes free agent. Anything is possible for a team that wants him badly and he badly wants to be with.

His free agency is so far away so many things can happen by then, with one of them being the Bucks winning another chip and having a top team.  Why would giannis want to leave at that point.  Or he gets injured and alters his desirability around the league, or any other thing that changes the current outlook.  What we know now is the Bucks ain't in the market to trade him.
Maybe he just wants to try something new and that's the best team that he's seeing as a championship team that can bring him another ring. Just as what KD has thought of before. Yeah, he won't be traded right away but if the time comes and talks have happened, there could be a mutual and beneficial agreement that they can end up with. But as statements coming out like Kerr saying things that he'd like to coach Giannis and Giannis going to their team, well something might be cook in the nearest future with these collaborations, transfers and trades.

It's not something new, he really look for teams that can bring him more championships in the future. No doubt that Bucks is still good, but some teams that won championship, it's hard to repeat and that's what the Bucks and Giannis experienced, they were not able to duplicate their success for multiple reasons.

So how can he achieved greatness if he just won one ring? Lakers, Spurs, and recently the Warriors are the teams that won multiple championship and some of the players, specially San Antonio Spurs have been recently inducted to the Basketball HOF.

He would like to make his job easier, and he believes that can be achieved by joining a team that is already a championship contender. With the Bucks, he knows that the team heavily relies on him, and he needs to work hard and play better if they want to win. However, with the Warriors, he can rely on players like Draymond, Klay, and especially Curry to carry the offense if he's not playing, which means less pressure on him and a happier playing environment.
795  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is It Finally Time For AI Coins? on: September 02, 2023, 08:31:09 AM
It can be a sort of manipulation and when new tech development comes out, it gains appreciation and hype which possibly happens to AI coins. Well, sometimes we think that those projects that become popular because of their hype will never stay long but it dumps after. That is why I don't spend my time digging into the trend but rather focus on following the old project.
Well, I have to tell you OP that not all AI projects are worth investing in, so must be cautious when investing in them.
796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When to invest in bitcoin on: September 02, 2023, 08:08:35 AM
Bitcoin is one of the most reliable currencies for investment so you can invest in Bitcoin anytime you want. If you want to invest in Bitcoin with a long-term plan, you must choose a good time when you will have a higher chance of making a profit. Bitcoin can definitely be invested from the current state of the Bitcoin market and if invested at this time, good profits can be made in the future. The Bitcoin market has been in a very good position a few days ago and the Bitcoin market is currently in a good position and there is a possibility that the market will move from this position to a good position very soon. Since there is a good potential in the market, if one can invest at this time, one can definitely expect something good from the market.
Waiting for the right time is really great but the problem is we don't know when, so instead of waiting for the right time to come we take the correction as the best time to buy Bitcoin. And whether it is for long-term or short-term plans, buying at a cheap price is meant to be a good time.
Well, of course, it depends on how we look on the market, some may feel like it drops more and waited for it but for me, I was taking the opportunity now knowing that we never know what will happen by tomorrow for at least we buy Bitcoin at its dip.
797  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Careless Trading on: September 01, 2023, 09:46:36 PM
The plan will not go as expected due to not having insight in the area that you are doing, risk management is very necessary when it comes to finances, especially in trading crypto assets. Markets involving finance always consist of two different directions, profit and risk of loss. Your interest and determination to make a profit needs to be shaped by a strategy that fits the insights you have learned. It really needs proper management when trading to minimize the risk of loss being smaller.
I would agree because that also happened to me. I thought it worked but can't control the market and never give a favor. A reason why we have a plan A and plan B but still we need to diversify them because of the volatility of the market. Therefore, it is important for us to know how to adjust ourselves as it was hard to stick to our plan knowing that it was not effective anymore. This is why trading requires deep knowledge and of course, patience as we can't just let our emotions decide what we are going to do.
798  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: presuring someone into Bitcoin investment on: September 01, 2023, 08:45:46 PM
there was a lesson I lean from here. when you are preaching to someone about Bitcoin, you shouldn't talk too much, and you shouldn't stay long and you should also allow them make some research and ask questions about what we are preaching to them, to avoid loss at the end.

I don't know, how you see it.
Trying to make someone buy Bitcoin or any investment is not a good idea. Why? Well, because these things can be pretty tricky. They can make you money, but they can also make you lose it just as fast. Everyone's got different money goals and how much risk they can handle. So, it's better to let people decide on their own when it comes to investing. Give them the facts, let them think it over, and support whatever choice they make without pushing them into it. That way, they can make the right decision for themselves.

Remember, it's their money and their future, so they should have the final say in how they want to handle it.
If you are also a wise investor, you will not also invest in something that you never know. It is not the reason why we invest blindly because of someone pressuring us but it is due to we simply believe that investment is good and we trust that person. Actually, it is in our hands whether we have to invest or not, not by the decision of others meaning, we don't have to blame that person but rather blame ourselves. Unfortunately, what we do is that we give responsibility to others while it is our money.
799  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC go above $30,000? on: September 01, 2023, 08:02:22 PM
If I look at the chart graph today in the trading view, it is below 26k, which is around 25k more than its price. And based on my analysis, if it falls below 25k, it is possible that it will continue to decrease until 20k, and then it will bounce again gradually towards 30k. This is the thing that I see happening when it happens: liquidation, but I am not sure about this,  it is just my assumption.

There is only one thing, and I am sure that there are many people who are positioned in the things I have mentioned: it is still a bit difficult for us to get back to the so-called uptrend because obviously we are still in the downtrend.
We're badly bumping down which reaches $25,585 at the CMC at this post. It looks like a bad condition for Bitcoin and for the entire market. However, despite the decline I wasn't thinking that it would reach back close to $20k but it might be possible for $24k.
Well, anyway, it is just to know that whatever happens in the market, I will still hold my Bitcoin until the next bull season comes so I don't need to be worried about it. It was really hard to predict what would happen next which is why we kept ourselves ready and remained calm.
