81  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Satoshi app legit or scam? on: May 04, 2024, 08:26:17 AM
Has anyone come encounter this Satoshi app that offers Free airdrop to users? A friend of my introduce me to this platform for some months now, so I will like to know if the satoshi app is legit or a scam?
Be careful about those apps that talk about cryptocurrency or Bitcoin, especially Google apps because most of them are fake. Yes, it is very usual for these scammers to offer free coins because this is made to gain attraction to the searchers and this kind of (dirty) tactic is rampant due to the popularity of Bitcoin. Though I haven't tried to visit and read reviews but I feel something wrong with this.

Well, you can try to verify how legit it is but don't ever try to spend money about this.
Many apps mention airdrops and I tried it before. I can see flowing airdrops and it appear on the dashboard but I can't withdraw it. This is problem the same situation.

I can relate with what op wrote but not about gambling, situations when you’re feeling tired but you refuse to rest and decide to do something else you’ll definitely make a mistake cause at that time the brain need rest but why depriving your brain from resting, you’ll definitely not focus with such activity and what’s so surprising about this is the moment you make an expensive mistake during the process you’ll not feel like sleeping but rather you just feel sad. Mate, this is wrong cause you don’t joke with your resting time otherwise you’ll regret also op used gambling as an example but generally everything should be set aside first when tired cause you can actually carry out same activity next time
Yes, it is hard to make good decisions when you are tired and don't have focus. People force themselves to gamble despite the situation, it will never go well and it is 100% wrong. Our body and mind can't work 24 hours so we need to relax when needed, perhaps it is necessary because having good mental health creates better results and our mind works so well.

our health is very important so keeping it healthy is our priority. Besides, gambling can wait anytime until we are ready and fully recovered.
83  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accumulating Bitcoin or trading Bitcoin which is more wise to do. on: May 03, 2024, 09:50:29 PM
Trading is profitable during bull season and there is no harm in trying as we can't tell ourselves if we are good at this if we never do it.
of course, holding is less risky and also profitable but if you don't have patience, this will never work.

Generally, we can just tell which one suits us after having a try on both of them. For me, I would say trading is a good choice during this time but after this bull season, I will become a holder again. We choose the option where we think we can do well, not because we see people doing this. That is why we should try and let us see the result before deciding as this also depends on our behavior, knowledge, skills, and interest.

Miami +10.5 loss.. Last game was a blowout win by the Celtics, just like in game 1, I like to see the Miami Heat making adjustment in game 4. I'm hoping it will be a close game so the Heat loss, they can cover with their high handicap.

Nuggets -7.5 loss
This is a no brainer, a close out game for the Nuggets, they should give everything here as they can't afford to take this series back to LA where the pressure could be higher.

Pelicans +4.5 loss
For the last time, I like to see them having a competitive game like they did in game 1.

Updated record 8(W)-13(L)..... 38%

Same result a day before, still 0-3.

Let's break that losing streak.

Magic -4, I'm following the same pattern, both teams are good at their home court, so the Magic should be able to tie the series and cover the spread.

Dallas -8 .  last game they beat the Clippers by 30 points, I'm seeing the same scenario, Dallas will be starting strong as they need to finish the series here.

I have the Magic at -3.5 at their home court, and they are a good home team, so it's a good chance that they will tie the series.

Will likely just watch the Dallas vs Clippers game.

Same with you mate. One of the Cavaliers best players Allen is probably not gonna play, so the Magic should win here.
Judging on the last 2 games on the same venue, Magic manage to beat the cavaliers via double digit, they should be able to do it again in a do or die game.


And I do agree that the Sixers and Bucks early exit are unexpected, but what can they do when Giannis and Dame got injured, and so is Joel Embiid. They have a good season, but the injuries though, oh well tough luck for them this season.

I expected the Bucks will exit the moment Giannis was announced he'll not play, but the Sixers, nah, I thought they have a great chance of winning even if Embiid is not 100%, but they loss at their homecourt, and no game 7, but that's alright, aat least they fought, especially Embiid who played despite of the injury.
85  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 03, 2024, 02:58:06 PM
But I still think that Denver with their experience will be enough to win the series for them. In crunch time, they will used their IQ and not sure how ANT can be in those crucial minutes of the game and I'm seeing him not able to response if they need to score big, in my opinion.

True that, if the game is tight, it does matter a lot. I've seen some games where OKC beat the Timberwolves, and I don't even see the young OKC would last in the playoffs. Well we know that they swept the Pelicans but that was because Zion was out due to injury, if he was playing the series will not end that fast. And OKC, they need to beat the Dallas first provided Dallas will finish the Clippers tomorrow, so I'm seeing that Jokic and his friend Luka will meet in the WCF.

Playoffs is very different on regular season matches. OKC has the ability to beat any team on NBA once but it’s different scenario when it’s on Playoffs since you will face it consecutively while team like Wolve can easily do an adjustment since they have a very solid line-up.

Maybe they manage to beat Wolves with incomplete line-up or Wolves has worst shooting accuracy while OKC have a solid accuracy for that game. This is some temporary factor that you can’t weigh in heavily on a playoffs match.

We don't need to talk about the wolves and OKC match up as that will only happen if both teams will advance the next round.

Wolves needs to beat the defending champion while the OKC needs to beat the Mavs in a series. Sorry, I'm already counting the clippers out tomorrow because the spread is too high and its indication is very obvious that the Mavs are gonna win by blowout again.

These 2nd round match up in the West are very exciting, both match ups are like 50/50 for me.

Whenever you walk into the casino, what you're going their is to risk your money, so at some point every gamblers are risk takers, but risk being an important aspect of gambling doesn't mean one should be a reckless risk taker.
As a gambler you must acknowledge the level of risk you should take and stay within that lane, people mostly misunderstand risk and gambling, they believe risking is all about going all in or putting more money than you can ordinarily afford to lose with high hopes of winning.

This choice has led so many gamblers into jeopardy and gamblers should always be careful and always weigh their risk tolerance.
Everything we do when it regards to money, always carries some risk. But as we gamble, we are already aware of the possible results we face whether to lose or win. It is not just we acknowledge the risk but also, that we put in mind that whatever happens, we are willing to accept it without any regrets.
Understanding how gambling works, the more possible it helps us become a responsible gambler as well. Since we don't have winning assurance from gambling, we must also learn how to behave calmly in times we lose.  
87  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you taking advantage of this red market? on: May 02, 2024, 02:05:27 PM

Well people might want to know that you guys think this is a perfect opportunity now to load up on BTC and ETH? I think people should take this as the perfect time to buy the dip while the dip exists now.
Can't say this is the perfect time as it is nowhere to be found but instead, consider this a chance as this is not the usual happening in the market after halving. Although it was hard to assume what would happen next but I was too positive that it would skyrocket. So take this offer and leave no doubts about the future instead, keep optimistic and I know, this decision will never be regretful. 

Buying at $58k and waiting for the new ATH, just to assume that it will reach $80k, it is a huge profit indeed. And this is not impossible in the sense that we are still in the bullish state.
88  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: May 02, 2024, 01:24:45 PM
I read a post in facebook about Ryan saying that he doesn't want a rematch with Haney, as he think it would be dumb to give him a rematch when he convincingly beat Haney. So for sur Ryan is looking for another  big fight and will just forget about Haney, maybe a fight will only happen if there's a belt on the line, but without it, it will only be a waste of time for Ryan who is enjoying his superstar status now.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 02, 2024, 12:26:58 PM
If you look at the Clippers, it was only Zubac against the bigs of the Mavericks, that will not work all the time as Zubac will eventually get tired and that's what happen in game 5.

Yeah, he had a great game but was only limited with 15 points. 7-8 shooting, that's impressive, but he could have shoot more with that percentage of shooting. I should be Harden and PG that should be leading the team, either one of them will play bad, things aren't going to be better for the team and in game 6, it's a do or die game for them, so they can't afford to loss. I don't know if they can but I believe Dallas will not allow this series to go back to LA and they'll be in disadvantage.
90  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lies told to cover up gambling habit on: May 02, 2024, 11:30:12 AM
There were a time when I lied about the amount that I lost in gambling, so that it wouldn't be such a big deal or cause a drama.
I also used to lie that it was just a normal match or game even though the match/game has money involve.
That was all the lies that I used back then that I could remember.
You are able to save your ass now but it was not a good excuse and thing to do especially if you are a family man. We better be transparent with our partner as this already involves money. It is worse when your partner knows it from others, so please don't do it again. I'd rather pretend to be busy but I was gambling already than not tell that I've lost for I'm sure, my partner could able to understand. But in your situation, I couldn't imagine how can take a look straight into her eyes.

Yes, we need to be responsible in all things as much as possible. Our partners could understand us (gamblers) if we don't hide it but of course, must also listen to our partners as well.
91  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it advisable for a beginner to invest in a newly launch project? on: May 01, 2024, 10:30:42 PM
It is not recommended for newbies because they don't have experience yet and we don't want them to fall into scam projects. We wanted them to enjoy their first try and stay in crypto by investing in potential coins like BTC and ETH. At least, they can't say that it was a scam unlike many of the altcoins and new projects. It is just for them to know more before taking risks in new projects. Because in the first place, investing in new projects gives us no assurance, unlike old coins that I've mentioned above.

It is not advisable for them but it does not mean we should have to ignore new projects at all.
92  Economy / Speculation / Re: Now is the best time to buy the dip and HODL on: May 01, 2024, 09:51:25 PM
I'm not expecting that the price of Bitcoin will drop like this after halving but the current situation reminds us that the market is really unpredictable. But I have no complaint about it, let us just think that it gives a chance for those who have not bought yet will have it now. And this drop would also tell us something that the next thing likely possible to happen is another huge pump. What we have now is the results from a huge number of investors who sell their BTC during halving. But I don't think it will turn back below $55k. For me, this is just a short-term impact of the halving and it recover back when demand increases. So, therefore, we have to take this chance before it skyrockets.
 
93  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 01, 2024, 01:05:11 PM
@Kemarit. You are correct. There is no argument against the signing of the contract with the rehydration clause is Ryan's fault. My argument is against the fans who do not consider the rehydration clause as the cause of King Ry's loss. Similar to what you have said, Tank will not fight this version of King Ry because he does not want to fight King Ry where he is strongest. However, King Ry agreed to fight Tank in his strongest and with a rehydration clause hehehehehe. I reckon it is very clear who will create a bigger legacy. This will not be Tank.

Too early to say who has a clear legacy, this fighters are still very young, and as per argument there could be fans that at the end of the day will used this fight to push Tank as the best compare to Ryan. Similar to fans that boasted Floyd's 50-0 against Manny Pacquaio for all the greatness after their retirement. But as we can see though, Manny's run was incredible, 8 division and many still considers the greatest and the best and Floyd is just second to him. So let's see how Ryan career will go after that big upset win against Haney. He could be a champion like Manny an be like by fans and even if he has lost already perhaps down in the future, if he chooses good fight, maybe, just maybe he will be up there with some of the great fighters.

That's correct, they are still young and still has a lot of fight to finish, just look at Haney for example, we thought that he'll be the next Mayweather as he has the size and the quickness to move up, but he loss to Ryan Garcia who is a heavy underdog at that time. So there's no guarantee on how they'll finish their career, but they have to impress the fans by not cherry picking their opponents, instead, they'll choose a fighter that are equal to their skills and that they'll be challenge.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: May 01, 2024, 12:11:14 PM
My picks would be Celtics -14 and Dallas -3.. I think this Celtics beat is easy as Celtics will make sure they'll close the series and as usual, they will start strong until they finish, so more like a 30+ in blowout.
They have been blowing out the Heat after they got upset in game 2, so in a game that they will close the series, they will play harder and better as they are on their home court. I like the pick although the spread is high, and that over 30 points win is surely possible. Like the game 3 and 4, Celtics have to start strong in the first half so the heat cannot come back anymore. I'm also excited on the game tomorrow and I'm confident in choosing the Celtics -14.

Also on the Clippers vs Dallas, I think the home team are gonna avenge their previous loss, still no Leonard here but I like the Mavs taking the lead and finish at 6.
This is 50/50 for me, it's hard to predict especially that the Clippers are underdog after they defeated the Mavericks with the same line up. Actually, their 2 games was without Leonard, so missing Leonard in game 5 should not be a problem.
95  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: April 30, 2024, 12:21:51 PM
So he can't really do that. If we look at the previous fight of Inoue, Marlon Tapales was able to land some solid shots from his counter punches, but the problem is the power was not there, can't even rocked Inoue, so I'm expecting that if Nery will do the same strategy, Nery should have the power to hurt Inoue, otherwise, he will suffer the same defeat as Tapales, will last a bit but will still be KO in the end. Honestly, I believe it's hard to beat Inoue, so it's a big problem for Nery on how he can upset the best fighter in Japan.
That's obviously true, Tapales is not a hard hitter that's why even if Inoue is hit sometimes, he is still very aggressive in hunting Tapales and knock him down. Actually, Inoue could knock down Tapales in just the first round, but because he doesn't underestimate Tapales, he take it slowly and surely and was just looking for the right timing until he sees an opportunity to KO Tapales.

Nery might be a different animal, but so far, it was only Inoue on their first time that has a decent match of beating Inoue, unfortunately, Donaire got tired in the end and his punches are not anymore as strong as in the early rounds.
96  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 30, 2024, 11:34:34 AM
Wolves and Nuggets for sure will be interesting as both have that capabilities to win games against each other, twin towers against the Joker, while a one on one match up between Murray and ANT might bring the fire up.

Defensively, I don't see ANT guarding Murray and vice versa, it will be Aaron Gordon's job to stop ANT. But in terms of impact yeah, both are very important for their teams and they really need to have a good game in order for them to win the game.

Will mostly be Gobert against Jokic and so KAT might pose a lot of mismatch, but the thing with KAT is that he has 3 point shooting so for me he will be the big difference in this series and he shouldn't get into foul trouble to help the T'Wolves.

Murray is offensive player so maybe he will be in trouble if he will be assigned to defend ANT but maybe there will be a good adjustment made on their rotation since they also need to defend the big guys of Wolves which we know that they are capable to give score if needed and also can be a lethal on defensive ends. For sure that Nuggets will get a big problem of twin towers of Wolves plus they have ANT which can give them a lot of problem on each side of the court. The match up between Wolves and Nuggets is a good one to see since we could able to see some great action knowing that both teams are so match. Also it will be good if Gordon will defend KAT since he can able stop the guy. But let see what will be the adjustment made by Nuggets on this since Wolves is so strong this season.

I like this match up, it's a new one for the Nuggets but I still like the Nuggets as they  are the defending champion. Jokic cannot be limited here, he can still score and if doubled, he will easily make passes and that will be hard for the Wolves to stop because they are not playing a small ball, the two bigs will be not too fast to rotate. We will see what will happen in game 1 but if I will have to bet on the series, I'll take Nuggets (-1.5) to win the series.

That is how it shows that holding is not regretful but a good way of making money long-term especially if you are a busy person. This investment is risky but still worth it believing that as the years passed by, the price went high also. If we can take a chance now to buy, we are not just losing opportunity but we are taking something that can possibly change our life in the future. Some people have lost their money from investing in Bitcoin but many are also become rich. I believe we can be one of those people who become rich if we can just manage our investments. The good thing about this kind of investment doesn't need to be knowledgeable, even knowing the basics is enough because what it needs is patience and trust.

Success is something that will really be that depending on how someone would really be that handling himself into his crypto investment. Actions would really be that varying
depending into your views and perceptions in regarding into your crypto investment. Doesnt matter if its on Bitcoin or other altcoins.

Fuck crypto.

yes it does matter if it is bitcoin or shticoins.. and so be careful if you are confusing them and convoluting the ideas in your own head, which largely likely means that you actually don't even know what bitcoin is or how it differs from shitcoins.
Yes, it is better to call Bitcoin for Bitcoin and altcoins for altcoins to be more specific rather than calling crypto as it addresses the entire crypto market. When people once hear crypto, they'll already think it is a scam investment especially for new investors not knowing that there is legit which is Bitcoin. It will not just confuse the readers but a piece of misleading information making them think that Bitcoin is just the same as altcoins (aka shitcoins) that have no value.
Talking to them separately (not crypto) the better for it this will clearly be understood and put in their mind.
99  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 27, 2024, 01:28:51 PM
If you know yourself and your behavior then I am sure this is a Hobby without extending your time and capital.

This is a Hobby if you know when to stand or leave the table without any warning to consequences .

This is a hobby if you are choosing not to spend important funds for this.
It remains a hobby if enjoy gambling but if we are now chasing to win and to recover back our losses, that is another thing.
What determines if that is a hobby or not, depends on our approaches and thinking. Some people consider gambling a hobby first until they lose control of themselves and badly turn to addiction. The consequence is quite regretful that is why we don't have to let it happen.
Quote
but if not of all the mentioned? then this is not a hobby but a vices .
Perhaps, it is vices that ruin our lives, reputations, and finances.
We just be careful when gambling does not give us happiness as it something leads to undesirable outcomes.

This issue is old already but the Google Apps Store doesn't do something to stop scams and fake apps. Therefore, it was hard to trust them but rather make our own way to determine if that is a scam or a legit apps. It is definitely our responsibility as we can hand it over to the people who don't care about the people who use their services.

Our money = our responsibility
That is why we also understand what apps we install as are aware of the situation and if there is another option, then avoid apps from Google as much as possible especially FREE applications because most of them are fake.
