That’s the best we can do as parents. If we will place ourselves to our kids shoes, then we also don’t want to be taught with things that are never interested at a young age. Let’s just let them enjoy their childhood days and provide them those things that will value more their childhood days. After all, once they grow and mature, for sure they will start taking serious things that will make their life worthwhile. And this is the perfect timing to introduce bitcoin to them. But forcing them to live with bitcoin is already beyond our control since they’re responsible enough to manage their life according to their set rules and norms.
882  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The green shouldn't always be the reason to enter the market on: June 23, 2023, 09:32:19 PM
The mindset of most traders is that they think it is too risky to buy when the market is bloody, hence they wait for the market to turn bullish before entry, is risky though but that is where the market gives you the best reward, I love buying when the market is red because I have seen the benefit, you get the best profit in the risk side. Emotion is one problem with traders that loves buying in the green market.

Some traders has experience situation when they buy after a market crash and the market kept on crashing down instead of recovery so some of them have doubts whenever there's a crash. They wait for there to be some confirmation of the market not falling down anymore but they missed the opportunity to buy like some of us did in the last market crash before the sudden rise of the market that saw it trading above $30k.

What traders need to do is to dollar cost average because if they keep been fearful then they can't buy during a crash opportunity and will miss out of future gains. Market crash are opportunity for us to buy Bitcoin at a discount and we need to make the most of those opportunities.
DCA will definitely increase your volume in your portfolio, regardless if you are buying from its high or low price. But if you want to take some high advantage and maximize your purchase, then always enter at a bloody market. Yes the risk is high, that’s why you have to keep your coins for long term hodling. But maybe for those who have fears in entering the market, just settle for DCAing and still keep your investment for long term.

What you need to know is to simply not take this community forum too seriously. Just like how you talk to other people on some social media group — as long as you follow the rules by not spamming and scamming and all that, you're good to go.
Exactly. There’s no need for you to study everything you’ve read in the forum. Just be yourself and enjoy the fact that you become part of this wonderful forum. And if possible, try to explore the forum just by reading what makes you interested. If you keep doing that with no pressures at all, I’m sure you’ll eventually learn a lot and replying to other post even from those high rank members will just become easier for you. This forum is open to a lot of discussion, so you’re actually free to ask and have something to say as long as you didn’t get far from the topics.
884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think it's still wrong selling properties for Bitcoin? on: June 23, 2023, 08:41:17 PM
It's not that wrong depends on your wealth because some other people do these things even though they don't have anything except the properties they sold to buy bitcoins. Others have multiple properties and multiple sources of income as well. With this kind of scenario, it is recommended to sell properties that are not making money for them and convert them to bitcoins, which will increase their price in the future. If I had such a choice that I could sell some of my properties to buy bitcoins, I would have done it, but I'm not rich and only can afford a small number of bitcoins after I buy everything I need from my salary.
I totally agree with you. I don’t see it a bad idea selling some properties that are not making profits at the moment. So instead of paying its tax continuously, why not take some risk selling it and buy bitcoin instead. Bitcoin will certainly give us life changing profits as long as we know how to deal with it. However, what OP does is only acceptable when you have multiple number of landed properties, but if you have one or two only, better save it for your future or for your kid’s future.
885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: June 23, 2023, 11:44:14 AM
I recently checked my favorite sports bookies and it seems that Donaire is the favorite and Santiago almost 3:1 underdog?

I thought it could be closer though, but I guess even at his age, Donaire can still fight and that's why they put him as a big favorite here.
There's no need to be surprised by that, as Alejandro Santiago is only ranked number 4 based on the stats that were shared earlier. It is expected that Donaire would easily win this fight. However, since there is no assurance that Donaire will emerge victorious, perhaps Santiago's fans might view it as an opportunity to potentially earn more money if the young Santiago manages to defeat the older Donaire.

We can not say that this is an easy win for donaire because he is a veteran, an older and a experienced fighter, Donaire has an age which is pretty sure that his movement  speed will effect. And about Young Santiago we can say that this is his time to shine which is he need to prove to  us that this is his Era, and we are all know that young Santiago is very strong fighter he has a good skill and technique so this is a good fight.
If Donaire loses, it will be a significant opportunity for Santiago to become a champion, while Donaire may consider retirement. On paper, it's easy to predict that Donaire would win easily, but we cannot guarantee that as upsets can occur in boxing, especially considering Donaire's age. He is not the same old Donaire who could last in long rounds; the reason is that he is getting older.

Most probably the strategy that Santiago will use is to be quick to score as he has better stamina than Donaire.

Maybe we can compare him to Zion? big hype, he enter the league have impact but he got injured, and now he is injury prone and there are rumors that he could be traded too.
Who knows until the actual season starts but I'm wishing him best for his career as it looks like everyone is truly optimistic on what's going to be his career run with the Spurs.
It's too early to compare him with Zion. We don't even know if he can truly live up to his status as a star. Zion has already proven himself to be a dominant player, whereas we haven't seen that from Wemby in the NBA yet. So let's reserve that comment for the future. We need to witness his greatness first.

  • Distance yourself with negative people, they will pull you down with them
  • Share what you learn from others let it be a cycle of learning, to help others also, remember people never hesitate to help you to learn, you should also do the same.
if you have something in mind please don't hesitate to add
By accepting your mistakes and be more open for criticism and comments, that will lead you to learn even more the easier and faster way. That is the secret for you to increase your knowledge and be successful on your endeavor by welcoming all the positive and negative comments from other people.

888  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Luck is what you need in gambling but you have to get to work with trading on: June 22, 2023, 08:44:12 PM
Both gambling and trading actually require luck, since you can’t also expect for your trades to be successful if it weren’t luckily favored by the market. While gambling is purely based on luck, trading is more on working your skills and strategies in order for your trades to succeed, and also with the help of luck. If you’re not having preparations when you trade, probably you are gambling in reality and not actually following the steps in trading.
889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 22, 2023, 12:14:28 PM

He's good in shooting but don't know if he can contribute well in defense. But since they already made the trade done I guess they are testing a new line up next season. Its just they waste smart since he's good defending on perimeter and they can also rely on offense. So hopefully celtics didn't make a huge mistake on this trade.

Let's still see if they still became a title contender this season on the presence of the Unicorn around and he should remain healthy because if not Celtics campaign next season might be in trouble.

I believe he can contribute to the defense with his height and agility. The Celtics made the decision to acquire KP by giving up Marcus Smart, indicating that they see his potential. He has faced setbacks in the past due to injuries, but I think he is gradually becoming more consistent. Hopefully, he will help the Celtics reach the NBA finals next season.

Based on his last season's record, he averaged 23.2 PPG and played 65 games. I believe that's already a significant contribution for the Celtics to consider acquiring him, as their bigs haven't been able to score that many points. Well, actually, he has already been acquired, so that's good news.

See his stats here: https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/porzikr01.html
890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Jermall Charlo Super Middleweight (September 16) on: June 22, 2023, 11:21:24 AM
Damn Charlo need to increase his weight between 6-14 lbs because he was a light middleweight boxer, he skipped the middleweight division. Charlo never fought in other division too, so this will become his first time to fight in the other weight division. Canelo is really get a lot privilege, the venue might happen on Mexico. This is definitely cherry pick, Canelo will beat Charlo in easy.

This will going to happen, and there's no doubt about that unless Charlo knocks him out. You see, there are lots of things to see whenever boxers like them will clash inside the ring, and one thing about this fight is their underestimation of Charlo; he needs to do everything in his training to surprise Canelo because it won't be like his last fights and this time he is expected to dominate him throughout the rounds in order to win the fight, but that's not possible in his current state. so, he needs to work hard to hone that unique skill to defeat Canelo.

Canelo is not undefeated, so it's likely that Charlo's camp is already studying and experimenting to identify Canelo's weaknesses. However, it's important to note that it's easier said than done. While Canelo has experienced two losses in his career, it does suggest that defeating him is not impossible.

By the way, have the betting odds for this fight been released already?
891  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: June 21, 2023, 10:53:38 AM
I think that the authorities are simply not able to keep track of the many casinos in general in the global gambling industry, since there are so many of these casinos themselves and they are all registered in different jurisdictions. 

The thing is, if a casino is registered in a different jurisdiction, it may not be regulated by the local authorities. The authorities would only be able to take action if there are complaints from gamblers that they can investigate. However, the problem is that most gamblers are reluctant to file a case, especially if the amount involved is not significant and it would require investing their time.

That's why communities like bitcointalk exist. They provide a platform where we can give feedback on casinos with bad reputations, allowing people to avoid them.
892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: June 21, 2023, 10:03:07 AM
TNT Katropa is still winless in this tournament, that might be the reason of that odds while Converge is still fresh from that upset win over SMB the other day, morale booster for them but i'm betting for TNT +11.5 @.187 here. This is a very risky bet but hope the trend still continues this time around, might be Converge will win but not cover the spread.

If I remember correctly, you lost your bet on TNT when they played against Magnolia. Now, you are risking your money again on them. Well, that's really risky, but we never know the outcome. Perhaps they will play harder and break their cold streak. Are you also considering betting on the moneyline?

Yeah, i lost big time on that one but it is against Magnolia who at the moment sits at the top of the standings in this PBA on tour but against Converge who is 2-3 in standing i think and i hope that they will not be blown out of this game. I've said that i won't bet against Magnolia because for me they are treating every game seriously IMO.

I'm pushing the button for the ML odds for TNT but it's weird that its not process or maybe they don't want me to bet for that odds hehe.

They might have sensed something in this game. I now believe that TNT has a chance of winning here, so I guess I will also try betting on the moneyline. The game will start at 7:30 PM, and there's still time to deposit. Hopefully, this bet will push through.

I even saw someone saying the Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz event might garner more PPV buys than this one. Cheesy It's funny how these ultra casuals are purchasing joke fights rather than watching the real fights. 

Hearn thinks it will sell at least 500k. 
Quote
“I think it does great numbers, 500,000 – 600,000,” said Hearn when discussing the fight on The DAZN Boxing Show.

I believe they will not struggle to sell this fight since there has been anticipation built up for it over the years. The Garcia vs. Tank Davis fight was a success, so I anticipate that this fight will surpass the pay-per-view subscriptions they generated, especially considering that Spence and Crawford are more popular fighters.

I think that will be the high numbers though, but we will see, there's a lot of hype on this fight, but assuming that either is not a PPV star, yeah, maybe that will be the ball park number. As compare to Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis fight wherein this fighters have a lot of social media follower and everyone wanted to see this fight for a long time and both are bankable PPV stars. But still, if they didn't produce the same numbers, maybe a good 500,000 buys is already good for this fight. And then the rematch might get bigger numbers. So everything hang on this fight and see how good this is so that boxing fans are going to be interested on a second fight.

There is no need for these two fighters to have a large number of social media followers or to generate buzz on social media. The true fans of these fighters already know them, and they will undoubtedly want to witness this fight, whether through pay-per-view or by attending the event. In my opinion, this fight holds greater significance than the Garcia vs. Davis fight, as both of these fighters have consistently held high rankings in the pound-for-pound list. Therefore, it is almost certain that this fight will generate a substantial number of pay-per-view views.

If the price is right, maybe he will take that risk for Benavidez. I have a strong feeling that they are just making that excuse to keep the engagement of the fans.


I would love to see this fight rather than Canelo fighting Bivol. Although Canelo does not accept that he can't beat Bivol, it is very obvious that he will not win. Against Benavidez, I think he has a chance because even though the latter is young, it is still not enough to defeat Canelo in a division where he is very comfortable. It would be a great victory for Canelo, especially considering that Benavidez is currently undefeated.
896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 20, 2023, 11:53:15 AM
Well I also think that Draymond Green is a key figure for the Warrior's Success and I truly agree that he is the heart of the Warrior's Defense if he was not around the Defense will surely crumble, even making play will be very difficult without him, so just like you two I really can't imagine a Warriors team without Draymond Green,
The question is, who would the Warriors acquire to replace Draymond's role? We know that Draymond is not an offensive threat, but he excels in defense and ball facilitation. What would be Curry and Thompson's reaction if Draymond were to leave? Can they still maintain their status as the Splash Brothers without a player who consistently sets screens and assists with ball handling?

However according to the betting odds from: https://www.810thespread.com/news/draymond-greens-potential-landing-spots/

Quote
Here’s a look at the teams with the six best odds to land Green, according to the initial numbers released by DraftKings: Warriors +150, Lakers +500, Mavericks +700, Suns +800, Rockets +1500, Heat +2000.

The Warriors are still the top favorite for Draymond to land with. Smiley

Definitely a big blow to them, specially for Curry, who we can say that Green really help him to become one of the best scorer, with the screens and picks that Green have set up for him throughout their run, 4 championship.

And you can see that something is not really right from the beginning with Jordan Poole and Green as we all know that there have been issues prior to the start of the season and probably it really bite them in the ass in the playoffs and we don't know what really happens in the locker room. I also heard before that Draymond wanted to play with Lebron James if I'm not mistaken.

Based on the betting odds, it is unlikely that Draymond Green will leave the Warriors. What I expect to happen is that Draymond will receive a bigger contract, which will motivate him to stay for more years. The "big three" consisting of Curry, Thompson, and Green will likely remain, and the team will be joined by additional role players, particularly those who will play in the center position. They can accommodate these changes by releasing Jordan Poole.

The essence of this topic is not to discourage anyone from doing the right thing especially the newbies but just to advise them on some certain things which they have failed to understand.

They think that giving an advice is a form of contribution in the forum since this is what we are always suggesting when someone ask on how to earn merit. It’s either giving mediocre advise or creating a made up story about Bitcoin that involves their personal life is the common way of newbie nowadays to fish for merit. I’m not saying that this bad too but this newbie is just finding a way to use this for their advantage even if their contribution is not authentic or legit.

They are just chasing merits tho.
You can’t chase for merits if you are not capable enough, especially for newbies who are clearly less knowledgeable and even less experienced in the forum. Although sharing is a good thing, but know when to give an advice or when not to. And I believe for newbies, they should focus first on acquisition of knowledge and development of their skills and strategies and once they’re reliable enough, maybe they could start giving advices to their peers.
899  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your honest review of the Demo account? on: June 17, 2023, 05:03:30 PM
There's not that much to think of demo accounts, they're good as testing features of the exchange where you're about to trade. And it's actually good marketing honestly. Because when someone new tries it out and he's winning into his demo account, that will make him encourage to deposit and later on do the trade. But we all know that the actual trading is entirely different from the typical that we know of. That's why those that have lesser knowledge in trading and are still new are likely the ones that are losing more.
Demo accounts are still considered useful for beginner traders since they allow them to be more aware on how the market trading works. And they will come to see what is there with trading that they have to prepare before they experience live trading. But always know that demo trading account is just beneficial at first, since you won’t be expecting to use demo trading account the whole time. You can’t be successful in real trading if you’ll never experience live trading using live account. In the end, what you’ve learned from using demo trading account has less effect compared to letting yourself exposed to live trading with your own emotions that are mostly the biggest barrier in achieving successful trading.

For several days now my friend has been asking me for some advice. Telling me that he wants to invest some of his money, telling me where to invest it. My friend works in a private company and he has saved some money from there. With that money they went into business in a four person partnership, initially he made some profit in the business then he suffered some financial loss. My friend knows that I am involved with Bitcoin. He got some ideas about Bitcoin from me. So he wants to invest money in Bitcoin. I didn't tell him anything about the risk of investing. Since he wants to invest, should I advise him to invest?
Educate him first about bitcoin and its highly volatile crypto market. Talk about the risks and challenges when investing in bitcoin, and how it can bring life changing profits or losses in your life. Tell him to do his own diligence to research more about bitcoin and when he’s done, let him decided on his own if he’s still willing to invest or not. That way, whatever the consequences he may face, at least you’ll not be the one to be blame when he suffer some losses.
