901  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would You Advise People To Stake? on: July 22, 2023, 08:42:36 PM

As far as I can tell, the annual return stays at 17.66% for the duration.
Is there any drawback I'm missing?
Why don't people just buy Cryptos that they can stake?
Honestly, people don't take this staking option as the best thing to do because it was too risky in the first place. Whatever happens to the exchange where you stake your coin, you will also suffer possible losses. If you are very concerned about the safety of your funds, you will not do that but instead, just keep it in your personal wallet.

They offer a 17.66% annual return. It was big enough to consider but I'm not sure how reliable it was because based on my experience the usual offer won't go far above 5%.

Am not much familiar with cryptocurrency, and that's why I need more guidance so that if eventual I see one, I will know how to handle it, this will help me to have a good knowledge on the path to settle for.
The best step to avoid scams is to avoid investing in new projects. Because no matter how convincing the project looks, we will not know for sure if it is really legit or just a scam. because all this time, more and more scammers are making their scam projects as if they look very legit. In fact, they also have hundreds of thousands of followers on their social media which are quite active. What's more, there is not only the danger of scam projects but also projects that are easy to pull out, this is because of the hype. So don't get hooked on the hype project too easily. Or, also avoid investing in platforms that look too good to be true, let alone promise super high profits in a short time, this is also one of the characteristics of a scam.
That is the very first thing to do and we have to anticipate the situation that new projects often turn a scam. In fact, there are a lot of promising projects that we know already and I don't think we have to risk investing in new projects. However, we can't just disclose the fact that because of the influence of known personalities, many individuals get fooled by such promising words and invested in the wrong projects believing that it was a good investment as was been said by the promoters.
903  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: July 22, 2023, 11:38:14 AM
I'm not a rich person, but I have sufficient money to gamble.

If I don't have sufficient money which I used for gambling, it's mean I gamble for making more money. This is not good because if the result I'm not making any money, I will felt remorse after gambling.

We as a gambler should gamble when we already have sufficient money, don't force yourself to always gamble every week even though your income aren't stable enough.
As a gambler, we must also know how to limit our expenses in gambling. Not because we have sufficient money we can gamble our whole life and not manage our limitations because even if you have thousands of millions today, it will drain fast for sure. So before it happens, we have to be sure that still we are in our control and never think that we have a lot of money to spend but must to stick the limit otherwise, this will lead to getting poor.
We should help ourselves to become responsible gamblers.
904  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think selling your property is better than taking loan? on: July 22, 2023, 10:14:27 AM
I'd rather take a loan option than sell my property. In fact, many people take loans to start a business and succeed but some had failed also. That is why it is important that we know where to spend the money taking the loan and must have good reason, not for pleasure or else, that is the reason to be in a worse situation that we don't expect to happen. We don't have to be afraid of taking a loan if that is the only best option to consider because as long as we can pay it out, there is no problem with that.
905  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can I understand meme coin good or bad position? on: July 22, 2023, 07:36:19 AM
How can I understand a meme coin's position in the current market? Is there any way to tell if it will be good or bad? I have seen MEXC exchange add many meme tokens daily. How to identify a good token from here?
It is pretty simple and the only way to find them is to make research. But I suggest you is to follow the trend, those who get in hyped will give you money but if we think about an absolute assurance of ROI, sorry but nothing to find from them. Meme coins are still not the best option, they are just good at hype but as it was over, that was the time you can feel pressure and worries about what will happen next. Many people had the mistake of buying cheap meme coins and until now, they never see any improvements but keeping it low.
906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You must do this if you want to QUIT or NOT on: July 22, 2023, 04:56:07 AM
This will just matter on will power of the affected person to stop, since if he's really willing to help his or herself to erase out the gambling addiction on his system he should do all whatever it take just to avoid any gambling activities. If they decide to comeback while they are in recovery method then this mean that they are still not willing to make big changes in his life so I guess that person will came back to gamble even if he is been prohibited to do so.
While the inner strength needed to leave an addiction behind is key, at the same time it is not everything, a person can be really willing to leave their addiction behind but if the person around them do not have the same determination then this is going to be difficult, after all is very common that when a person is trying to leave their alcoholism behind their own friends or family members offer them drinks knowing very well their addiction story, and in the process they are making more difficult for those people to remain away from their former addiction.
Leaving addiction alone is very hard that is why many gamblers fail from doing it. It really needs support from the people around us and the willingness to help in changing the direction of our life.
I have asked some of my friends who are in gambling addiction and they told me that they easily got tempted to gamble when the say people gamble as well. This gives me the idea that in order to stop addiction we must involve ourselves in something and stay away from gamblers.
907  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The reason of why Bitcoin is good for trading (for me) on: July 21, 2023, 09:44:52 PM
What you are doing is not 100% trading but in fact you are just applying the DCA approach to your bitcoin so you are ultimately a holder, not a trader and that is what I can decode from all that you have said, bitcoin is the most suitable asset to hold for long term and USDT is the most suitable stablecoin that you can apply it cost to your bitcoin holding and profits taking approach.
Yeah, your right. In fact, even asking traders and even me, I was seldom using the BTC pair in trading because it was not really profitable unlike when using altcoins. of course, if we are talking about holding, Bitcoin is the best option to take but if we are trading, we can't benefit from its volatility which is why altcoins seem to become ideal when it comes to trading. Well, we also have to consider a thing that we live comfortably because this is also a big factor that would affect our decision making.
908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 21, 2023, 09:23:59 PM
You are right that mate the activity of the children is based on the parent's hands which means like what you said above if the parents are very strict then the children can not access the online casino easily. But if the parents are not just strict and let their children do what they want to do and then one thing is for sure they will become a gambler at an early age as we all know the curiosity of children make them fall into the gambling world.
I don't think there is a need to be strict in supervising children because it will make them rebel and it is better to give them an understanding of the dangers of gambling. It would be better for them than parents having strict rules in supervising their children. I think today's children understand more about the dangers of gambling because they can get news about gambling addiction from the internet and see its impact on people who have experienced gambling addiction. It will keep them away from gambling and they will not try to approach it because of the danger.
We have to control our kids in a good way, not because we are strict but because we are very concerned about what they are doing as well. Because with their young age, they need guidance and we guide them in the right path. Allowing them what they wanted is just we are giving them a chance to fall in the wrong direction and later on we regrets it. For me, it was not a good idea from letting them to gamble because it means that we are giving them a chance to become addicted too early and the impact for it is bad for their mindset.
909  Economy / Speculation / Re: Be patient and you will be there soon. on: July 21, 2023, 05:08:14 PM
If the price of BTC reach $40k next month will you sell? I know many people will not sell until the price reach $100k, which it will take a long years before such dream will come to pass. What is your opinion.
Patience possessed by Bitcoin holders because it is based on adequate awareness. Bitcoin holders who set targets when to sell are said to be people who understand Bitcoin.
When analyzed Bitcoin has the opportunity to reach a price of $40k next month, it is not certain that the holder will sell. It is likely that it will continue to be maintained until it can pass the previous ATH price even though you have to wait for an even longer time.
Real Investors don't rush in making their decision but they go through following the plan which is why, whatever happens in the market they keep calm as they believe that the time will come to see Bitcoin rise and hit their target. It is easy, right but wondering why many people are not doing the same is because we usually influence our emotions making no good responses and easily get panic once seeing declines. And this is the reason why the volatility of the market continues but honestly, we gain benefits from this and so do these whales.
910  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't expect everyone to embrace Bitcoin on: July 21, 2023, 04:52:48 PM
Seeing a lot of people are still doubtful and suspicious about bitcoin, then I have to say that not everyone is liking the existence of bitcoin. Some have embraced it with so much eagerness while others dare to never trust bitcoin in the first place. So it’s a certain fact that bitcoin is not for everyone. However, let us know that even if bitcoin adoption will not be granted easily, but knowing bitcoin has high potentials to succeed in the future, then it’s value will never stop growing and it’s utility case will also be more useful in the end.

Bitcoin is for everyone because anyone can invest in bitcoin whether rich or poor, but the point is that some people will like it and some will not. Just like when we talk about investing, not everyone is interested in investing, there are also many people who prefer doing other things than investing.
Everyone has different opinions and thoughts, so don't impose your thoughts on others. Convincing or trying to force someone to use bitcoin is a bad idea and a waste of time. That's why I'm against teaching kids bitcoin, it's more like coercion than education.
It is open to everyone but it also matters how they look at it because we can't deny that many people are still ignoring this opportunity. There are still uncertainties to some people making them till now silent and have no intention to embrace Bitcoin.
Well, that was their choice either and we can't force them to open their minds and do what we did because, in the end, their decision still be going to follow. It's up to them to change their decision and besides, Bitcoin is still there and we can invest any time. 
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: July 21, 2023, 12:55:28 PM
It turns out the odds were quite a trap. TNT managed to win the game, and that ended their losing streak. Luckily, I was not able to bet on that particular game as I would never put my money on TNT moneyline since they have been struggling. I believe many bettors had fallen into that trap.

I'm one of those.

Speaking of TNT, they are scheduled to play tonight against Ginebra where they are the slight favorite to win. I think Ginebra has the chance to upset TNT today, they only have to guard and limit the offensive output of Khobuntin, TNT's leading scorer in this mini-tourney.

NLEX +6.5 @1.80 vs Converge
Ginebra ML @2.58 vs TNT

My bet, hope will win and be on the winning track once again.

Congratulations on the first game win! You don't actually need a "+," as NLEX has won the game. Currently, it's the battle of Ginebra vs TNT, and Ginebra is leading the game. So, I would say this might be your night, mate. Good luck and enjoy watching the game!
912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 21, 2023, 12:01:21 PM
Paul George may be on the trade block. That might be the cost of Harden. With the frequency of injuries that PG and Kawhi face, I would look to unload both of them for some younger talent. I cannot see a good future for the Clippers if they plan to try to keep both of these guys.

That is just how it goes for the other team when they acquired those star players and think they can bring them the championship but injuries are always the torn to stop those dreams. Not only the Clippers but the other team as well. Kawhi was fine when he was acquired by the Clippers but they didn't see the storm coming when he always gets injured and the farthest place they've got is only in the playoffs, they never get a chance to get to the NBA finals with him due to his injuries every season.
But at least with Leonard, they were able to reach the conference finals. Leonard already had injury problems when he was still with the Raptors, but they knew how to manage him, which is why they were able to utilize him in the playoffs. There are really players who fit with one team but do not fit with another team.

-snip-
They using a drop limit now Grin not from the amount user can be claimed ~XD

Seem like Stake also has a decrease in users as well, if we check on the chat room now the average number of people who are online only with estimated 7000-8000 compared to their highest peak can reach more than 20K users online.

People who are playing is decreased right now.
What could be the implications of that data? Have other gamblers simply laid low a bit in gambling, or have they transferred to another site? We can't deny that Stake is one of the biggest gambling sites in the crypto world, if not the biggest. So, with that decrease in numbers, it's quite alarming. Or maybe there's an appropriate explanation for that.
914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 20, 2023, 02:18:38 PM
Holiday for Harden, that's a bad idea because Holiday plays at both ends of the floor, unlike Harden, who does not play good defense. When the Bucks won a championship, I believe Holiday was one of the big reasons why it happened. So, I don't think it's necessary to break up their lineup just because they had an early exit last playoffs. I believe it's part of the game, and they just have to continue developing their chemistry as they are still considered a championship team.

Well honestly, both options can be explored. They can break up the team because probably if they bring in a new player he will be able to do well with the team and the team might also have a better chemistry with the new player.

But at the same time, I believe it might actually be better if they do not break up the team. Of course, there can be one bad season. But I think they should try again and not lose hope so early. It is not going to be a bad idea for them to try to continue improving the chemistry between the team without changing players. But of course, we are not the ones in charge. Let’s see what they do.


It's okay to break up the 76ers, but not the Bucks. The Bucks are still intact as the team that has won a championship, while the 76ers have not even reached the NBA Finals yet. Harden is probably looking for a team that could bring him a championship, and he thinks joining the Clippers, which will have 4 superstars, would give him that chance.
915  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I sold the altcoins and invested in Bitcoin" on: July 20, 2023, 12:37:49 PM
You made a very good decision, that you invested in Bitcoin by selling alt coins. Because Bitcoin will give us higher returns. We won't get as much return from altcoins now, as much as Bitcoin will give us. Because the Bitcoin bull market will start in a few days. And that will  will reach the value of Bitcoin by around 100k. Many Bitcoin experts think that the price of Bitcoin can even reach 120k. In this you will see that you can achieve the biggest success of your life.
Talking about high returns, altcoins do as well. But if we talk about less risk and future assurance, Bitcoin offers more which is why it was recommended for long-term investment. Yes, many experts are saying it reaches high at $100k and more and it was possible but we never know when it comes. But for now, I was not thinking that amount, reaching $80k is a great price for Bitcoin already and another ATH.

So yes, what OP did is right - but I still suggest not just focusing on Bitcoin alone as it was better to share with potential altcoins like ETH and BNB.
916  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: This time for meme coin? on: July 20, 2023, 12:04:06 PM
Risk is the meme coin's middle name.  Cheesy
Just remember the word "meme" and it will get you back to the real world. Think about the possibility of being dumped all of a sudden. Whale manipulation or just a friggin dump because it ends a scam. Holes that will be identified that could lead to FUD. Lots of different reasons why meme coins are high-risk coins. I do believe you don't like to be in a position where stress comes to you thinking about how you will recover from all the losses that will happen. You better be ready for that if you are so sure about buying this type of coin.
The chances of making profits are also low so why should you invest in it? While Bitcoin and other top coins are just out there making money for those who trust them. I think I will stick with that strategy.
Honestly, many people can't ignore the hype and social media influence which makes them invest and hope that they get lucky and become rich instantly. It was very common for impatient people never to think that they are risking more compared to investing in Bitcoin. Too sad to say but as the PEPE coin soars high, many people are jumping on it but looking at the current situation, I'm sure many of them are regretting and blaming themselves as they are suffering losses now.
917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: July 19, 2023, 02:36:36 AM

As of this point, both camps are yet to discuss that and start their negotiations because it is still too early for them to commence it. Besides, even if we say that Inoue have an advantage in this fight despite being the challenger, we still cannot say that it is a guarantee that he will win and will proceed to the negotiations for the upcoming undisputed fight versus Marlon Tapales.

Exactly, we have yet to see the outcome of this fight as it could still change. There are numerous factors that will be taken into consideration, with money being the main factor. If this fight has the potential to generate a significant amount of revenue and ends up being a close contest, then it is likely that we will witness a rematch.

The fact that they rescheduled the fight and included it as part of a mega fight (Spence vs Crawford) indicates that profitability is likely the main reason. This fight becomes even more significant than a main event in the bantamweight division because, despite being an undercard fight, it is part of a mega event that is expected to generate a substantial number of pay-per-view subscriptions and attract a sold-out crowd in the arena.

Are you talking about Donaire vs Santiago fight that was moved as part of Spence vs Crawford undercard?

Inoue vs Fulton seem to be happening this July 25. But they were also saying this Inoue Fulton fight was moved from May to July was because Inoue rant about WADA random testing which was done twice a week. What was reported though was that Inoue got injured in the training. Anyway as expected Inoue by KO is 1.90


I'm not familiar with the rant that Inoue about the WADA testing, but it is not the first time that I heard from the boxer themselves. Manny Pacquiao too during the height of his run was being testing randomly and he also complains about it. And it lead to the speculation that he is taking juice but it was not proven throughout his career submitting blood samples needed before a fight.

Perhaps Inoue might have the same fear of Manny, that is injections and how many blood are being taken every week.
Probably, these are just rumors because the official reason why the fight was postponed was that Inoue got injured during practice. However, if this is necessary, then I think they should comply with it to ensure that the fight will happen. It's not a big issue unless a boxer has something to hide.
918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: July 19, 2023, 02:19:54 AM

I still didn't find the odds on our local bookies, maybe they are not interested on covering this game as TNT is so unpredictable. They put the odds usually 24 hours before the game so the likelihood of this not being covered by the bookies is high.

NorthPort ML @2.24 vs Rain Or Shine

^^ My bet since NorthPort is capable of beating the also unpredicatable Rain Or Shine.

The odds of 2.24 are indeed quite attractive, especially considering Northport's current win streak of two games. Meanwhile, ROS suffered a loss in their previous game. Based on this, it seems like a 50/50 chance for both teams, making the odds of 2.24 advantageous. I'm also thinking of betting on live game, maybe that would increase to 3.00, more attractive to me.
919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: July 18, 2023, 01:06:06 PM

No odds yet for the two game but i think on the second game it would still be TNT as the underdog, by what margin, that's the question and if it would be the same as last time that the spread reached 20+ points, i would be for TNT.

I think the spread is still high considering their loss in the last game. They have experienced several blowout defeats, which may make them desperate to win. However, they will likely make efforts to secure a victory, particularly since they came close last time. There is a possibility that they will play harder and strive to win the game, so even if they fail, there is a chance that the spread will be covered once again.
920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 18, 2023, 12:42:31 PM
We just need to wait. Once the season begins, we will see those teams to play and who are the ones who improve the most.

There's no question about the Nuggets, as they have already proven themselves to be a great team by winning the championship. Honestly, I believe that their chemistry is strong enough for them to win back-to-back championships. The only reason they would lose that chance is if Murray or Jokic were to be injured, as they are the most consistent players on the team.
