961  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: DOGE surges as Twitter change its website icon to Doge on: April 05, 2023, 09:43:11 PM
As a meme-based cryptocurrency, DOGE has always had a strong community following. The recent surge in its price after Twitter changed its website icon , the dog breed associated with DOGE, is a testament to the power of online communities and viral marketing. However, it's important to remember that DOGE's price is highly volatile and influenced by a variety of factors, so investors should approach it with caution.
It has really, a reason why we couldn't think that it will collapse. The more it was talked about on social media, and promoted by influencers, the more it gains momentum and price spike, and that is how social media affect the mindset of the people. Now, it was still to know that Dogecoins has a huge chance to grow during the bull season and I believe that people are expecting much from it just like how they see before. Though there is no strong participation of Elon Musk, this project still have the roam for another ATH in the coming days.

It would be a significant upset if Loma ends up winning, but it's hard to say for certain until they're in the actual fight. While it's easy to make predictions, we shouldn't be too convinced by them since anything can happen in the ring. It's also important not to underestimate Loma's abilities as he's known for being a technical fighter who is good at exposing his opponents' weaknesses.

Although he's a slow starter, he's a skilled finisher and could potentially surprise us in this matchup.
Loma and Usyk start out slowly as both of them are coached by Loma's father and I think it's part of their training program.Loma always looks for the opponent's weak points in the first rounds and starts hitting them at the first opportunity.The event will definitely be noisy and discussed as two boxers need attention now.
Loma is a technical boxer who does not rely on brute strength. He follows a game plan and does not underestimate his opponent, unlike other boxers who rely heavily on their power. Although Loma has some good power, he is known for wearing down his opponents with precision and technique.

So definitely expect a late KO or TKO in case Loma wins this fight.

One of the biggest games of the year is on tomorrow. ESPN will be showing the Lakers vs the Clippers and they are both currently sitting on each side on the play-in tournament with a tying record. There’s a good chance whoever wins tomorrow will be getting the final playoff spot in the west and leaving the other to face the play-in tournament.

That's a game we don't want to miss and let's see how they will gonna play their game against their former teammate Westbrook. As the Lakers continue winning their games these past few days, there is no reason for them to choke on this one unless WB and his new teammates will try their very best to stop them, and there's no doubt that this upcoming game will be like a game 7 in the western conference because no team wants to participate in the play-in tournament when they have a good chance like this to secure their spot in the NBA playoffs.
This is a crucial matchup, and the momentum is currently with the LA Lakers. It would be a great achievement for them to reach the playoffs without having to compete in the play-in tournament, as they were previously doubted due to their struggles. I definitely won't be missing this game, and with the holiday tomorrow, I'll have plenty of time to watch it.

Tapales fight is this weekend, just check my favorite sport bookies, unfortunately, it's not yet listed.

However, I'm not going to be surprised if he will be the underdog this Sunday. But you can't never discount Filipinos in boxing. We already have the precedent in Manny Pacquiao.

Thank you for sharing this news with me. I've heard of this fighter before and I think he's a decent competitor. I would be interested in betting on him if he's listed as an underdog on the bookies. It's possible that the odds aren't available yet, but we can check a day before the fight when bookies typically list odds for less popular fights.

If the odds listed below are real, then you'll get a very attractive odds.

https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/murodjon-akhmadaliev-v-marlon-tapales/winner

Tapales has odds of 18/5 or 3.6, which I'm sure many Filipino bettors will take into consideration and not miss the opportunity to bet on the underdog. It's always nice to show support for an underdog with such attractive odds.

Yes, instead of making these fights easier to avoid conflicts in politics, Crawford's got the opposite outcome because his decision to leave the stable of Bob Arum seems to become his biggest nightmare now because he's not getting any good deals after that. I don't know what's the plan of Crawford because the last rumor months back was that he might sign under Eddie Hearn but nothing happened until now.

As far as I remember, Crawford being under the shadow of Top Rank, he is always actively fighting but the only problem is, Crawford didn't get what he wants of fighting a top-ranked boxer which he wants for a long time. Since he parted ways with Bob, not just he ends up fighting a non-popular boxer but also not active much in the ring compared to his Top Rank days.

Now that wee the outcome of his decision, does his decision to leave Arum, a good choice or not?

Although it may not seem like a good decision at the moment, he's still in his prime and could potentially negotiate bigger fights in the future. I'm sure he has no regrets about his decision since staying wouldn't have made him happy. It was a gamble that hasn't paid off yet, but as I mentioned earlier, there's still plenty of time for him to succeed.
966  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What holds you back from investing in Altcoins ? on: April 03, 2023, 09:52:10 PM

The recent price drop of Bitcoin and some bad news on the market may cause a new round of FUD for investors. With the price going down, Bitcoin will be more volatile in the short term and the Altcoins that depend on Bitcoin will go through more ups and downs. In this bear market, more investors are hesitant to any Altcoin investment. Apart from the macro environment factor, what truly holds you back from investing in Altcoins ? Please let me know your thoughts.
For me there is no reason not to invest in good Altcoins because Altcoins can also be profitable and a lot of very promising projects that are hard to ignore, and owning Bitcoin is fine but more diversification than recommended so don't be afraid to invest with Altcoins, and all you have to do is analyze and know what Altcoin to buy during this trend.
You say it right and people never stop thinking that altcoins are a great venue in crypto especially when the bull season is coming, you can't just simply ignore that chance of tripling (or more) your money if got lucky. So while people are buying Bitcoin during the bear season, they are now selling some of it to allocate for altcoins. Many new projects will get in hype during the bull season and they are started looking for a gem. Well, I assume that everyone is aware of the situation that altcoins will pump more than Bitcoin.
967  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for April on: April 03, 2023, 09:32:46 PM
In the past few days, we are amazed by the current pump and left the 1st quarter full of hopes that this 2nd quarter and particularly this month we are able to see Bitcoin become bullish. Yet, it was not just easy as I can imagine. With the volatility of the market, it was too hard to think that we are continuously moving high as certainly dump/correction happens.
If the price of Bitcoin will just reach $30k this month, that was already a great improvement and I was confident that it comes to happen. No more FUDs that will affect the mindset of the holder as they learned already.
968  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 2years of trading! on: April 02, 2023, 12:34:52 PM
Trading takes time, and those who have more patience can have a good profit in their trading journey.
Trading makes me more challenged, I lose more but I've learned a lot already, I'm far from perfect but day after day, I'm learning.
Imaging 2 years of trading and having that sweet success after all the suffering and sacrifices, that could be a great moment to experience. To those who are still trading and finding their best strategy, just keep going and don't give up because you are a step closer than anybody else.
1-year trading experience is enough to tell ourselves if we are really suitable for trading or if a place is not for us.
We lose and we earn a profit - this is real life in trading but our experience helps us a lot to learn more and become knowledgeable. The more we understand trading, the more chances we succeed and this is actually happening to OP and with you, and those traders who are never afraid to risk their money and are able to work hard in developing skills.
969  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the altcoin go up in price if the bitcoin price goes up? on: March 31, 2023, 10:14:43 AM
~
Well imagine being an investor then investing to Bitcoin first. You would think of diversifying your investments, right? That would lead to buying any other coins in the market at the time. Surely you already know where it is going.

From that people would invest to any other coin in the market after they bought their Bitcoin. It has been like that in the market. Just like the usual market outside, when apples rise in price, there's common scenarios that even oranges and strawberries rise in price especially when they're almost biologically similar to each other.
Smart investors don't just keep and stick to a single coin like having Bitcoin alone. Perhaps, there are a lot of altcoins that are also good for investment and seem profitable which as an investor can't just ignore them but rather get them and buy more. Diversification is a valid reason and investors keep doing this as they wanted to grow their profit. In fact, the market is designed to be like that, buy and sell really happens in crypto. And they'll buy altcoins because of the trust and they believe that the price will rise together with Bitcoin.
970  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When is the next altcoin season? on: March 31, 2023, 09:37:55 AM
Everything has its own good and bad sides due to the way we see and evaluate it. I agree with you guys about consulting others, but this repeats the mistake if OP doesn't know that the previous analysis is just speculation about the market. And I still hold the argument that always research things and be proactive with them, not depending on anything from anyone to provide.
But everyone's experience helps in the investment journey, however the formula never applies to the majority of profit in the crypto space that I see. Crowd psychology has a deep connection with market volatility, the fact that many newcomers to the market rely solely on fomo information leads to not failing in the crypto market. to the realm outside of it.
And everyone has their own idea of what they do based on their market experience. I'd see that we are too optimistic about the upcoming halving and so everyone is preparing for it. Let this kind of market insight gives is a brilliant idea to choose the right decision to make and the coins to choose with. Because we never lose if we believe that we are invested in the right coin like Bitcoin and decided to keep only potential coins over shitcoins is not regret but a great decision ever.
971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | POSTPONED on: March 31, 2023, 08:42:35 AM
But in this case, Inoue and his camp doesn't want to do that, or at least Inoue going through the pain of fighting because it's not going to be very good and his performance might be hindered by it, hence we might suffer his first career loss.

That's the risk of coming back prematurely. If Inoue loses, it could hurt his future and diminish his value. As the current top-ranked boxer, losing to a champion who is not as popular could be a huge setback. Inoue needs to be smart about his return and not force things. He should ensure that he is 100% ready before making a comeback. Pride is insignificant if it results in an unexpected outcome. At the end of the day, boxing is a business, and a boxer's value is crucial.
972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 31, 2023, 05:55:59 AM

Nuggets vs Pelicans too; I'm not tossing any money either way, but there is speculation of Jokic not suiting up for tonight, that void can't be filled and as such, I might lean a bit more towards New Orleans Pelicans.

Since he didn't play, the line movement has been quite volatile. I believe this will lead to an easy win for the Pelicans, as they are in desperate need of a win. The home team has already secured the number 1 spot in the West, so there's no need for them to push too hard. This game may be a relatively relaxed affair, providing the Pelicans with an opportunity to improve their ranking.

You're right, it was the Pelicans who won the game, and it wasn't even close. In fact, the Nuggets recorded their lowest score of the season with only 88 points, which is significantly lower than their average. This shows that the Pelicans' defense was very effective in limiting the Nuggets' scoring opportunities.

I had a feeling that would be the outcome, and because of it, I had a decent win on this game. CJ McCollum's outside shooting and Ingram's mid-range shooting were crucial factors that helped the Pelicans secure the victory. They controlled the game and even held a lead of as much as 19 points. Although the Nuggets made a bit of a comeback, the Pelicans started another run in the fourth quarter that left the Nuggets with no chance to catch up.


I saw that coming, of course! but then Denver Nuggets lost every single quarter of the game, so it was a complete disaster for them, even if Jokic wasn't available for the game, Nuggets should at least be competitive, they looked very lost from the 1st Quarter, I understand there isn't much to lose for Denver Nuggets but that was an utter shit show from them, so much for me staying up late to watch the game.

Boston Celtics also blew out the Milwaukee Bucks tonight.

Ironically, it was Celtics losing to the Washington wizards awfully yesterday, and Milwaukee Bucks running rampage against Indiana Pacers and all their starters did really good numbers, Giannis with a triple double and Jrue Holiday with whooping 50+ points, but today they were humbled and brought back to earth with an efficient defense. Both the Bucks and Denver Nuggets loss tonight were the worse either team have succumbed to so far this entire season.
It's difficult to trust the games of teams that have already secured a playoff spot, as they may choose to play more conservatively to avoid injuries. The Nuggets might have taken this approach in their game against the Pelicans, resulting in the Pelicans dominating the game and not allowing the Nuggets to mount a comeback.

This was a good opportunity for those who analyze the games well, such as the Nuggets game where the spread opened at -7.5 but stayed at -1.5, indicating a shift in the expected outcome.
973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 3) on: March 31, 2023, 05:23:23 AM
However, it's time to move on and focus on the upcoming fight. Hopefully, Nghitumbwa won't take any tips from Akaho.

What kind of tip are you referring to? To become the best actor? Just kidding!

On a more serious note, we can't be sure if Nghitumbwa has the skills to match Casimero's, but I'm hoping that this fight will at least be entertaining. There are rumors that the fight will be held in the Philippines, which would make it a significant event for Filipino fans.
974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying cheap is best formula on: March 30, 2023, 04:33:52 AM
Buying cheap is obviously the formula to gain profit and value, not just in bitcoin but in everything in the market. The question is, how cheap is cheap to you? How confident are you to catch the dip? The best way to do this is thru cost averaging. After years of experience in trading and investing, I realized that it is mission impossible to catch the dippest and the highest prices. So we should be more contented with every gain we have no matter the amount.

I am into DCA on bitcoin and so far so good. And if ever it will go down just like last year, it doesn't matter because I can buy cheaper and it helps my purchase cost a little lower.

There is no way we can ascertain the lowest or highest. I remember in December 2018 when bitcoin went down to 4000$ then there were news that bitcoin may go down to 1000$ or even to zero. But we all saw Bitcoin making a strong comeback few years after. Month back bitcoin was at 16k and we listen news every now and then that bitcoin may go down to 10k. Having said that it's  best to set a target and start buying as soon as you see that price.
Check out this website to see how much profit you can earn if you adopt DCA strategy https://dcabtc.com/
Well, at least using this strategy "buy during the dip" even without the target price, you are still safe. Because we know that we can't predict the market and have no way to know when it drops but considering the thing about buying in every dip, I was certain that it works fine. And it now matters to us if we will buy or wait for the next drop but I was sure that strategy works so well.
Anyways, DCA is known to everyone - in fact, I applied this even during the market. The most important is that we know what we are doing and are consistent on it.
975  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ETH the King of Altcoins ? on: March 29, 2023, 09:58:51 PM
It still is one of the king of altcoins for now, but people already tired I would say for the ridiculously high fee for every transaction make even when ETH changed from PoW to PoS where people have been anticipated for long time. It does make sense for them to change the choice and most likely people think BNB is the king of altcoin for now where it's almost does the same purpose. But still, ETH is one of the pioneer there for the smart contract  thingy.
Tired of what? Though we can say that fees make some people hate Ethereum, yet still a lot of users keep using this despite the huge fees that they pay to move their coins. And this will never affect the trust of ETH and we know that this coin had contributed a lot to the crypto market until today which it means that it deserves to be at the top among altcoins.
XRP had once surpassed ETH before but it never stay long. Now people are saying BNB, is only a joke and pure speculation as this coin is still far when compared to Ethereum.

I've found out that a good plan must be coming from us, not from others.
Honestly, many people had already joined groups like this but guess what, instead they learn more but unfortunately, they get nothing other n than falling into bad calls because someone has made their decisions.

Okay, not I say this group is a scam but you must prove it either as many groups like these are scammers and the are collecting money from innocent and greedy people.

It appears that the odds for a Ginebra ML win are a trap, as they are struggling to find their rhythm and are not hitting their shots. While SMB is not leading by a huge margin, I predict that this series will be 2-1 after this game. However, I don't believe there will be a Game 5. If SMB wins here, then it's likely that Ginebra will finish the series in four games.
There's a reason for the celebration today as Ginebra managed to complete a sweep against SMB with a massive comeback win. The team's never-say-die attitude was evident in this game, and there will be no tomorrow for SMB. Ginebra can now rest early, thanks to the excellent comeback win they just achieved. Congratulations to the bettors who had faith in Ginebra and did not listened into the trap thing as the result confirmed that it's not.
They have made it to the finals once again, and there will be no sister team this time as Ginebra has swept SMB. Coach Gallent must have realized that they cannot be a championship team without JMF, and the organization must have learned that letting go of Arwind Santos and Cabagnot was not a wise decision. In fact, SMB began to struggle after these two starters were traded.

The match-up between TNT and SMB is expected to be exciting, but for that to happen, TNT must win Game 2 to avoid a do-or-die situation.
978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 3) on: March 29, 2023, 05:30:07 AM

This is Casimero's first fight this year, so he will need to start strong if he hopes to secure an opportunity to fight against a top challenger or champion in this division.

It's true that Casimero tends to start his fights strongly, and his only loss came from a disqualification. Additionally, being in a division where reaching the required weight is not a struggle for him will undoubtedly work in his favor.

However, his upcoming opponent is also a KO artist, making for a great fight that promises some intense action. Given that both fighters have a reputation for quick finishes, it's possible that we might see a bloody and action-packed match. If the fight goes the full 12 rounds, Casimero may be at risk of losing, as he typically wins his fights with his signature counter-punch KO in the earlier rounds.
We will see. Experience in my opinion is a big plus for every boxer especially when you already reached the top of the mountain where it gets most intense.
All Casimero should do is think of this like a championship fight and he will definitely have the upper hand.

Fillipus Nghitumbwa got his first loss from his first pro fight so I guess he was just shocked at that moment, but he knocked out that boxer when they met again in the boxing ring.
I don't really know much about the guy, but looking at his records, most of his fights are in their country South Africa, unlike Casimero who had experience with different fighters in different places.
This situation shouldn't be a significant threat to Casimero as he would not have to start from scratch if he hadn't lost his belt. He is now attempting to reclaim the championship title in a different division and will need to work his way up from the bottom again.

However, I believe that if he can secure a victory in this fight, it could lead to significant opportunities for him in the future. While I do not underestimate his opponent, he is a relatively unknown boxer.
979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 29, 2023, 04:49:11 AM
The Warriors are currently losing. What is the best decision to make at this point, the moneyline or the handicap?

It appears that their struggles from the previous game have carried over, as they seem to be experiencing a hangover effect. However, given that they are the defending champions, there is hope that they will sort out their issues in the second half. As an alternative, I am considering placing a bet on the Warriors in the third quarter, as they have a tendency to perform well during this period, especially when they are down at the end of the first half.

Regardless of the type of betting line used, the Warriors emerged victorious. Despite being down by as much as 17 points, they made a comeback in the second half and defeated the Pelicans by 11 points. The Warriors put on an impressive performance, with standout players such as JP and Curry, and particularly Draymond Green, who demonstrated his exceptional defensive skills. In the second half, the Warriors displayed their characteristic strength and dominance, reminding everyone why they are considered one of the top teams in the league.
980  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | POSTPONED on: March 28, 2023, 02:36:01 AM
In any case, what is the latest news? Is this fight only postponed or is there a chance of a cancellation? This might give a chance for Casimero to enter the show if he can challenge someone with a high rank in super bantamweight.

As for now, the status is "postponed", and no rumors of it being canceled. Seems that Fulton's camp is just fine waiting for the rescheduled date to give way on Inoue's full recovery. As per ETA, the rescheduled date will be in Japan's summer period.

As for Casimero, it's easy to challenge those boxers at high rank but the problem is, these top-ranked boxers are not interested "for now" to face Casimero. Quadro Alas should at least settle to fight first at those low ranked and build again his name to be recognized.

Currently, it's good that Casimero has an upcoming fight now. He just needs to continue winning until being involved again in the contender's discussion.
Casimero has to climb the ladder again as he has already lost his superstar status. However, he is showing good development because after a win, he now has an upcoming fight, which I think he has no problem winning. Maybe one day, Casimero will have a championship fight in this division. Besides, he can still attract a crowd due to his good marketing style.
