A person cannot become a good predictor even after following all the steps unless he can change himself. So it is not a guarantee that following all the steps will make a good predictor. Self-discipline can make a person successful everywhere, so it is important to be a self-disciplined person to be a good trader, good predictor. Nice try OP, now it's a matter of seeing how one thinks and uses these things.
Price prediction is hard especially to a very volatile and unpredictable market like crypto. You may predict it correctly this time, but in the next days, you need to do a lot of analysis so you can foresee the price again, otherwise you will trade at a wrong timing. However, it’s not just good price prediction that matters, but also how you handle your risk management in trading, and how your behavior and attitudes are when you are trying to trade at a very unpredictable market. |

Bitcoin will always be an investment because of its limitless value. As long as bitcoin price is not fixed, and it creates more chances of price increase, then it will always be an asset or an investment. However, we can always use bitcoin as a digital money once it’s used as a payment mode, or an investment once people prefer to keep it and expect good store of value. Whatever it is, that fact that people are still in profits with bitcoin, bitcoin will always be a forum of business or investment.

You don't know the owner, but what makes you sure to deposit bitcoin to exchange?.
what makes you sure that your Bitcoin arrived safely and was not taken away by the owner?
I always thought that,
same as banks, I don't want to save it for long time, because banks often go bankrupt, and the owner run overseas.
The fact that you start to deposit your bitcoin into another wallet, then the security is not the same. Your bitcoin is no longer your own property anymore the moment a third party start to access it. Hence, it’s safety can never be determined anymore. Today it might be safe, but the next day might not be the same. That’s why using centralized exchange is discouraged, but what else can we do but to take some risk and use them everytime there is a need to trade and make high returns. |

Yes. Newbies should learn from the experience of others, most especially from legendary positions in the forum as they have more useful experiences that newbies will certainly benefit from them. And the fact that newbies need more help and guidance from their superiors, then they should never do things that will only create consequences of their actions, unless if those will make them learn and correct their mistakes in the future. But still, regardless if they have gained their own experiences in the market, it’s still best to ask some assistance from those who have been here in the market for long because for sure they have more valuable experiences than them.

Gambling and investing are quite different things. While you can always lose in gambling and expect some instant wins, but with investing, you can always avoid yourself from losing as long as you know the potential coins to invest and how to make significant profits from them. Patience is the most important key when investing, which I think gamblers don’t settle on that seeing the fact that they don’t want to delay their profits and just want to be more lucky everytime they gamble so they can always win exceptional and huge profits.

Only experienced investors know that as newbies could easily fall from entering in the green market and expect even more that prices will be more promising in the next days and months. One reason why most investors fail and end up quitting because they enter at a wrong time. However, there’s no problem if you enter at a green market considering that you’ll invest bitcoin and make it as your long term investment. That way, you will still be profitable if you can patiently manage hodling it for long and only sell whenever there are chances to sell at higher prices.

A few days before the fight and Nonito is showing confidence in this fight I just stumble this image in social media, I doubt if Santiago possesses the power of Inoue with only 40% knock out of his record, if he cannot hurt Donaire and he has a very good skill, Donaire could bring home the crown. Well, I cannot even deny that claims by the former champion because Nonito Donaire was just spitting some simple and understandable facts as there is no way that he will be defeated in this fight because Santiago doesn't have his strength nor Inoue's. In line to that, his chances to win are much more higher even if it is not a guaranteed and let's just get back to basics, Donaire will not pick Santiago if he knew that he will have a hard time fighting for that crown. He knew that his age will be a factor and right now, his goal is to be a champion first, nothing else. |

Anyone seen the much touted Jaron "Boots" Ennis this weekend against Roiman Villa? He won by a 10 round stoppage, and later it was found out that Villa suffered a broken nose. For sure we have heard his name as he is the rising star at 147 lbs and said to be the next champion and his name have been put into the discussions against Spence and Crawford. So the hype is real, maybe him and WBA 'regular' champion Eimantas Stanionis will be a perfect match as both have been rank high in the stacked division. And as reported, Stanionis fight with Ortiz was cancelled. Here is the KO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJZbtrut1swThanks for sharing the video mate, seeing the KO made me remember that Boots Ennis was touted to be the next Crawford because of his vicious power and is not afraid to eat punches, and even maybe stronger because Ennis is more swift as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, because the division is quite stacked and the champions just have negotiated for the fight, it made the interim champs like Stanionis and Ennis wait for quite some time. Also, Eimantas Stanionis have been ordered by the WBA to be the mandatory challenger to the winner of Errol Spence Jr. vs Terence Crawford. |

As far as Eimantas Stanionis he has been waiting for this fight for years, he had a scheduled fight last night but was cancelled because Vergil Ortiz is deems unfit to fight. So I doubt that he will go directly to the winner of Spence vs Crawford, he needs a tune up fight first.
In that case, Stanionis should find be a dancing partner as soon as possible to keep him warm because he is getting cold in the ring for waiting against Vergil Ortiz and in the end the fight did not materialized because of the said factor mentioned by you above. He should find that and make a tune-up fight because he now have the green light to fight the winner of Crawford-Spence fight and after that, hopefully Boots Ennis will have his own mandatory fight too as he also waited for his shot. |

Mane going to Saudi Arabia "might" be a little to early, he could still play a few more seasons, majority of the players that went to Saudi Arabia has been young, there are only few players who got paid a lot of money and were still young, I guess most players who got paid those 50-100+ million per year contracts were old, Mane is not that old yet, he still has talent.
However, when you offer someone 100+ million a year, I can't really say who could say no to that, it might look like you are retiring if you agree to that, but at the same time we are talking about 100+ here, you could literally retire. What could he get per year, 20 million at most? For how long? Maybe 1-2 more seasons? With 100 million for just one year, he could make more than his entire career from this point forward.
Hm, I haven't heard any rumours that Mane might move to Saudi Arabia, it hasn't even been suggested, on the contrary, there are now suspicions that he will move to Chelsea. The English were in talks with Bayern in May about it, but since then nothing more is known, so maybe he will stay in Germany at all. Even if one considers the move to Saudi Arabia in theory it is strange, he is playing at a high level and could certainly do so for a few more years To end this speculation, here's what Mane's manager said: Sadio Mane’s manager denies rumored move to Saudi ArabiaIt has been said that Chelsea wasn't on their options either but Mane's transfer is already rumored because Bayern might not able to allocate all the forwards in the team because they are on the hunt and the thing is, Mane's camp aren't even denying that. So, it did seems that it will all happen this summer. Meanwhile, Manchester United remains steadfast and shows their interest to acquire Mane. |

But I don't think FIFA is not nursing such ideas because there has been no such announcement from the organization and no reputable sports media house has reported such a move. You don't have to think my friend because the FIFA is indeed not thinking of materializing any of these ideas where they will change the schedule, I don't know where did this rumor or speculation came from but it is safe to say that it's somehow a fake news and that the FIFA calendar will remain as it is for a couple of years or maybe even decades. I tried to looked it up in the internet for me to see if these speculations were true or not but I did not find anything related to it or at least with similar topics. |

the president of "the Enhanced Games" believes that this competition could unlock the athlete's true potential and will obliterate all the world record that has been set in the Olympic games. from what I have read in an article, they are planning on launching this event next year in December.
Lol, the world at its wildest version... True potential is what you can do without any damaging drugs on your body, valuing your health at first place. What is the point of using heavy drugs to boost your performance on the currently moment, but dying from a heart attack, overdose or aneurysm on yout 20's or 30's? What this president of "Enhanced Games" said sounds really sadistic to me. I see why it was called an Enhanced Games in the first place because the players will be allowed to use PEDs and other substance to enhance whatever needed in a player's body and whatever sport would it be used. As far as I can tell, it's kind of funny by the way because I never thought that there would be a plan like this and truth to be told, the president was probably so doped that he thought of this kind of format. |

However, if you are just looking for the underdog bet, regardless on who will it be or what fight it is then Santiago ML will be enough, just saying.
That's suicidal thinking. Knowing Donaire, I'm sure he still has a lot to offer and can dominate the division. Santiago may be younger, but he doesn't possess the skills and experience that Donaire has. If we're just after attractive odds, we should consider going for a KO per round range bet, as most of the time the odds are higher than +200. In my sportsbook, Alejandro Santiago's odds are 2.31x and if you're inclined for some adventure in your bets like betting towards the underdog then that would be the line for you as Donaire's line are much lower ranging from 1.5x - 1.7x. Besides, I agree that it would be beneficial for us bettors because I don't think that an upset is going to happen in this fight, I know that it is not a guaranteed win but Donaire's chances are much greater compared to his foe. |

And for this Ben Simmons, when he was still in Philly, he signed a massive 5-year deal worth $177 Million and by now, he already have 2 seasons left to play and with what he is acting recently, I don't think that there would be any team in the league right now that will get him from the free agency and sign with him.
Ben Simmons had a lot of potential a couple of seasons ago, but it's clearly gone now. In fact, he ruined his career in the NBA by doing those ill-considered things himself. Honestly, I'm also inclined to think that once his current contract expires, he'll likely either end his NBA career or he'll only be able to hope for a minimum contract. It's all his fault if no teams are going to pick him up in the next coming seasons. I do agree that he was one of those young talents in the league early as he was even compare to Lebron. But damn, he can't should the ball at the free throw lines, that should be basic for any player. And then he lost confidence as he just opted to pass because he was afraid that he will be fouled and get to the FT line to shot and missed. Then he acted diva with Philly, shipped to the Nets and didn't play that good either. So yeah, after his contract and all that money, he could be gone for good from NBA. All players have their own ups and downs through their careers but that didn't stop them to improve and be a better player in the upcoming seasons, but this Ben Simmons right here, he didn't overcame his errors and instead, he chose to behave like a child just and made some false statements regarding about his health just because he doesn't want his teammates especially Embiid. At that time, Philly gave him plenty of chances but he chose to neglect it and it was his own fault now why he is treated like this because no team in the league wanted him because he will just be a liability instead of being an asset. |

For Fulton and Inoue, only two weeks to go before their fight night and since this fight has been through some delays, so yes, we can say that both camps are just having some few touch ups so that they will not overtrain and derail from their intended goals. They wouldn't want that for sure and I know that both of them is excited already and excited to have this fight, finally.
Everyone is excited, I'm sure. This is going to be one of the best fights this year, especially for those of us who have followed Inoue's journey. It may not be as popular as the Crawford vs. Spence and Davis vs. Garcia fights, but the kind of intensity we are looking for in a boxing match is here, thanks to Inoue. I hope Fulton coordinates by giving Inoue what he wants, instead of hitting and running around. There's no need to compare these two to Crawford and Spence's league because they have their own set of fans that will surely watch the fight and for the avid fans out there, both of the fights will surely be an interesting sight to see and it will be a missed chance if we will let this slide as this kind of fights are not happening every year especially in this era. By the way guys, be sure to lock in your bets while we still have more time as the lines might not be the same anymore inside the 48 hours span. Good luck! |

I don't think you are following because I certainly believe that we have already established that fact and already know beforehand that Artur Beterbiev is a Canadian citizen and has been living in the mentioned country for almost 20 years now. The only thing that connects him to Russia is that he was born at that country, nothing else.
For Dmitry Bivol, just like what I mentioned above, the unification match is not really possible at the moment because the sanctioning bodies are not allowing it to happen. Bob Arum of the Top Rank and Eddie Hearn of the DAZN is the least of their problems because Bob Arum himself already stressed before that the unification fight is only possible is if he will organize it and not Eddie Hearn and it is reasonable enough because it is them who holds three of the four belts existing.
Following that last statement, we know who's Arum is, and what he wants, right? unless Hearn will allow this to happen if money that involves will show up as diamond in his eyes, the chance of making this unification match would likely to take place. But, if there's nothing like that and Hearn is not interested in dealing with negotiation, then there's nothing that fans can do here. They will both find another alternative and keep the belt that they've got and continue to fight a decent challenger that will matchup against them. It will be an unfortunate news for the fans all over the globe if ever the unification fight between the two champions will not happen. I can already tell that the negotiations are going to be rough because none of them is willing to give up the right to organize the fight because it will be a big event that will surely generate them a lot of money. And if things goes worse, Bob Arum should pave a way because Beterbiev is not getting any younger as he is already 38 years old and a couple of years from now, he will have to retire. Yeah right, if both handlers will not show any interest to settle the possibilities of these fight then it's unfortunate for all the fans as they won't be able to witness this unification fight between these two champs, more on money matter and who will adjust just to allow the fight to take place, or maybe if there are many fans to show interest and bring a huge noise inside SocMed. The chance that both handlers will negotiate and try to settle things out just to make that huge paycheck depends on how they talk and how they will close the deal. I guess Bob Arum will surrender the rights to Eddie Hearn if things will not go in his way because if this fight will not happen, Beterbiev will have to vacate the three belts that he is holding upon retirement without having the undisputed fight and most likely, it's Bivol who will have those in the next few years after someone will possess it. About the hype surrounding about this future undisputed fight, both names involved in it have been making some noise in the past few months especially Bivol for upsetting Canelo and who wouldn't know about Beterbiev in LHW that got a 100% KO rate. So, it's safe to say that the fight will generate decent profits but not really comparable to the undisputed fight in super-welterweight division that we will soon see. Bob Arum doing that kind of thing when in-fact he already have the right to dictate and demand because they are on the A-side is quite unheard of. But I see your point, it will be pointless if he will argue and make the fight much longer if ever the sanctioning bodies will give the green light because instead of getting some profits out of it, he cannot generate something if a fight will not exist. |

The fight is going to be on July 29!!! Only 22 days more before we witness who becomes the king of the welterweight division hehehe! We also have another superfight with Fulton vs. Inoue. This month is good to be a fan of boxing. Also in an interview, Shawn Porter said that Spence has a huge advantage over Crawford in punch output. However, my question for boxing experts of the forum. Will this he enough to win the fight? Shawn Porter says Errol Spence will have a huge advantage over Terence Crawford with his physical presence and his high punch output on July 29th.
While Porter does rate WBO welterweight champion Crawford (39-0, 30 KOs), he’s incapable of matching IBW, WBA & WBC champ Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) with his volume punching.
Crawford has been a pot-shot fighter his entire fifteen-year professional career, and he’s not going to change now at 36 years old.Source https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/07/shawn-porter-says-errol-spence-has-huge-advantage-over-terence-crawford/Much of the predictions were for Crawford before this month. However, presently there are new storylines that are being argued for Spence. The skeptical me is beginning to think that this might be manipulated to end on a draw and give the promoters another chance to collect more money from a part 2. I'd say that these boxers who are giving their own predictions and speculations are just the same as us, the fact that they are not the ones who are participating the fight is already a reason to say that they are just like us, giving predictions on how the fight would go. I don't really believe that they are more reliable compared to us who are also watching their fights. The question is, does Spence also believe the same way like what Shawn Porter believes? Because I don't think that Spence is that confident to say that a huge advantage over Crawford as he knows that the latter is also a different boxer in his own way, that's why he was able to retain the belt for more than five consecutive years now. Maybe Porter is saying otherwise. I mean, he fought both boxers and was able to give Spence a good fight, resulting in a split decision win for Spence. However, when Porter fought Crawford, he lost via TKO. So based on his experience, he should have said that Crawford has the edge because he suffered his first TKO loss against him. Or Porter was just fooling around saying stuffs like these because it's either he wanted to see Spence eat the same punches as he do and end in the same outcome or he's just praising Spence so that he can see Crawford in the defeated corner unlike what he had experienced when he was there in the ring facing Crawford. Other than that, I don't see any reasons why Porter is saying that Spence got an advantage when in-fact he can truly say what it is based on his experience and people will just laugh at him for having this kind of prediction. |

That would be a great record to have, but FIFA is so concentrated on making money and extracting as many resources from the world cup that it would not surprise me if at some point they had the fantastic idea, notice my sarcasm, to play the world cup every two years instead of doing so every four years, in which case the record of Ronaldo will be easily crushed, now this may seem unrealistic now but it would not surprise me if they actually tried to do this in a few decades.
World Cup every two years? Impossible!!! As ambitious for money as FIFA is, this would be a totally inappropriate suggestion for a competition of the magnitude that the world cup has. In order to hold this event, there must be large investments by the host countries, a lot of mobility and changes in the schedule, there is no way to do this every two years. Fifa has already increased the number of teams in the competition and this is what they can do best. Another solution would be to make the tournament a regular competition and more spread out between the years, but that would take the "brightness" out of the tournament and become a "normal" competition. The less Fifa messes with the world cup, the better! You didn't even notice his sarcasm  he just said it mate. A World Cup in every two years really do sounds ambitious and I don't think that it will be granted if ever the FIFA council will try to make it. Countries around the world will lose their desires to host for this kind of event as it will be not rare anymore and people won't be that interested anymore as they know that they can always see the next World Cup in the next two years, instead of four years where they will indeed prepare for it and will not lose the chance to see the event. The beauty of the FIFA World Cup tournament is the fact that it is being held every 4 years, so I think that making it biannual competition would make it look boring and uninteresting to many football fans. One thing about the current board of FIFA is that they really want to monetize everything. They know that if the FIFA World Cup is held every two years it will generate more income that it does when it is held every 4 years football must not be all about the money. Current FIFA executives should not please ruin the fun and beauty of the beautiful round leather game. I know that they just want to take advantage of the event and have as much as profits to be generated but making it twice in a span of four years is some extra and the fans around the world will not be that excited anymore and also, countries will have less time to prepare for the upcoming cup which may result into a problems that they don't wanted in the first place. What they have now is already good enough and if they want to monetize it, they should have another plan and not this nonsense. |

It's funny. This site calls it "a perfect 3-team trade", but I'd say it's a perfect deal only for the Nets and the Heat but not for the Blazers. The way I see it, getting a few future first-round picks, as well as an aging Lowry and a weird guy like Simmons, would be a dumb decision by the Blazers' management. In that case, the Blazers would look like the Rockets, who have been trying to rebuild their team for a few seasons now. My thoughts are the same as yours, but to say that 3 perfect team trades are actually also appropriate because they made quite good deals and of course other teams cannot imitate them. But here I'm actually assuming that actually the Heat are the ones who benefit the most to be able to have good preparations for next season. Blazers have been trying to get better but let's see what they can do for next season although I doubt there will be anything surprising that the Blazers can achieve. Well, let's see if the Portland will get that kind of bait just because of a couple of first round picks are laid towards them. I know that they wanted to grant Dame's wishes but this is just too far and I don't really think that they will just agree on it especially with Simmons on the trade, they aren't that dumb to accept a player that doesn't know what team play is and he was just so different nowadays compared to the time when they were great in the Sixers. If the Blazers will have no other choice and doesn't find any better offer than what this 3-way trade, then I guess they would gladly accept it, otherwise they'll be keeping a Dame Lillard who are less interested to contribute to the team. On the other hand, I don't even understand why they keep signing Ben Simmons, the guy have just totally lost his talent after being slammed because of his poor shooting percentage. I don't even know if the guy has a value LOL. Well, I'm really hoping the Heat could pull this one of and it's now or never for Dame. The Heat are in a hot momentum for the playoffs, and Dame is surely a great addition to the team. We will know in the next few days what would be the outcome of this trade because it surfaced on the internet recently that the Heat and Portland will meet somewhere to have a meeting together with Dame's agent, it seems that the latter is also looking forward to trade Dame because they are already overextending their hand just for this one and just like what you've said, keeping Dame is not an advantage anymore as the player might lose his interest. And for this Ben Simmons, when he was still in Philly, he signed a massive 5-year deal worth $177 Million and by now, he already have 2 seasons left to play and with what he is acting recently, I don't think that there would be any team in the league right now that will get him from the free agency and sign with him. |
