cyrpto currency by nature is so easy to steal if someone has access to the right things,
This is like saying your house by nature is easy to break into if you give someone the keys. That is not the nature of Bitcoin, it just means if you give up what signifies access to something, you've handed over that access to someone else.
You are right then. Not your keys, not your coins. Bitcoin investors should not only focus on accumulating bitcoin but first and foremost, they should always ensure the security of their coins. If the guy in the story values much about privacy and not giving access to anyone relating to his bitcoins, then he should have hold them until now. But ignorance kills everything. Gone are the hard-earned bitcoins in just a single wrong decison.

This may serve a lesson not just for bitcoin investors but definitely for all those who are into different investments. If you can’t secure your investment 100%, then don’t bother investing in the first place.
662  Economy / Speculation / Re: What to expect this bull run? on: February 18, 2024, 07:36:27 PM
I hope that later in the bull run the price of Bitcoin can jump even higher than the previous ATH price, at least it can reach above $80k. But anything can happen in the crypto market because prices are very volatile. Therefore, Bull run is approaching and we should not miss the opportunity to reap satisfying profits.
Everyone expects the same thing, namely a new ATH and that it can last quite a long time. Waiting for the ATH which may be near, you have to be prepared with the coins you hold. Bitcoin is of course the main one for that and the top altcoins are the support to increase profits. But is it strong enough to continue holding back and doing DCA? that will be a challenge for any investor holding long term
Even if the most awaited bull run comes, I always think it’s always necessary to never stop hodling and continue doing DCA. There’s always next bull run that will come in the market, at least the earlier we can prepare for it, the bigger profits we will reap. However, hodling does not mean you’re not going to sell at some point. Bull run is the perfect time to sell, so take time to sell but never sell everything. Sell when everyone in the market is taking and enjoying their profits, but always leave even a small portion of btc in your portfolio so you can still expect future profits coming for you.

However, it was Dame time yet again, he defended his title, KAT was only able to make the final round.

KAT and Trae Young both reached the Finals; bettors could have cashed in big money if one of them had won the competition. If I recall correctly, the odds were around x6.5 for Trae Young and x7.00 for KAT. This big man is more reliable than the other bigs; I mean, he has done it before, so there's always the confidence in him. Still, a fun competition to watch. I just miss Curry; things could have been different or easier for him.

I'm not sure if there was a line movement as this article show a different odds.

Quote
2024 NBA 3-Point Contest participants, odds
See who to back at SportsLine
Damian Lillard +450
Tyrese Haliburton +480
Trae Young +550
Donovan Mitchell +650
Jalen Brunson +650
Karl-Anthony Towns +700
Lauri Markkanen +700
Malik Beasley +850

Lillard was the heavy favorite and he indeed won the competition, it wasn't a dominant performance, just enough to get a back to back title. KAT could tied with Lillard, but he miss the last shot with 2 points score. I would say the bet almost won if it's on KAT but still fall short. Does anyone here able to predict the winner?
664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jason Moloney vs Reymart Gaballo WBO Bantamweight Title (May 12) on: February 18, 2024, 08:47:22 AM
Great chance for Reymart to become a champion again after falling to Donaire. I think he can beat Moloney as the latter is not so technical. Moloney was KO by Naoya Inoue, so he is not on the level of Inoue which I think Gaballo can also KO him. I'm interested on the betting odds of this fight, perhaps Gaballo will be the underdog, and I'm sure will bet on him to win by KO.
It looks like Reymart will have big chance of getting the championship belt again by defeating Moloney and this is Reymart opportunity to take revenge for his failure when he was defeated by Donaire.
In this fight, Moloney will be under pressure from Reymart because it is certain that Reymart is more careful and he is also boxer who has managed to win 90% by knockout.
Only one who managed to beat him was Donaire and it was truly surprising fight.
It's understandable why he lost against Donaire. It was probably due to the lack of experience in big fights, while Donaire has a lot of experience and is a dangerous fighter who can end his opponents via KO. In fact, Donaire was the only one who gave Inoue a tough battle in his career, so it's safe to say that Donaire and Inoue are on the same level, and if Donaire were still at his peak, perhaps even better.

So, in this scenario, Inoue beat Moloney, while Donaire defeated Gaballo. They are below them, but one of them has a chance to stay as a champion.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the Filipino will be the underdog.
of course he will be.
Of course he will really be the favorite in this fight, he has also been able to prove his prowess in the ring with the various wins and titles he has previously achieved.
Normally champ are the favorite to win, and since Gaballo hasn't been so impressive, then we can't expect him to flip the betting odds.
Let's take what the bookies will offer and decide from there if we bet.

I'll go ahead and congratulate you, it's a great achievement and an over 2.5x return on your investment. I don't really care if the OP is lying or not, but I can understand why some are a little sceptical, because a few newbies had attempted to farm merit through their topics. Good luck to you and I hope you continue investing in Bitcoin.
Even if you decide selling at the moment, that would mean big profits already. But invest more and hold more, there’s more to gain when bull run finally comes. Patience is the key. Bitcoin price may won’t get to its new all time high instantly, but that’s the beauty of hodling. Your faith will be tested along with your patience when the market price suddenly moves in an opposite direction, and moves back afterwards. So focus on what you think is right, your goal is to multiply massive profits, and it will only be possible when bull run finally enters the market.

The identity of a casino's team is something we rarely across in our forum even though we have like hundreds of announcement topics in this section, promoting services, gambling games and tournaments. This act typically comes around professionalism and hospitality to provide a special customer service. Showing friendliness.and deep understanding of the games offered. Team members may also be a comfortable addition to players here.
Why would they tell their identity in the first place? How would it make their business more successful? If it doesn't help then they can just stick with the norms. There are a lot of businesses in the world that are successful and yet when they advertise, they carry the name of the business not the people behind it.

Till this day I didn't see any casino revealing the identity of their team, owners, employers and responsibles of the casino even though players are required to pass a KYC process for their identity, so I'm wondering have you ever thought about this too? and the reasons why most casinos are not doing this process?

It has nothing to do with us passing the KYC requirement. It's mandatory and they are just bound to follow what the regulators instruct them to do, that's part of the KYC thing, you know. Yes they know us but they are required to take care of our information and keep it confidential.

Well, actually, you can make a research on a casino you are using if you have doubts.
Say, I will now search the owner of stake, I'll just simply search it in google. and this will appear.

I'm not a sports science expert, but for me he might be taking THT and that's why even at his age, he is still that strong and his body is always in shape even at his age. Again, this is just my opinion.

With this news, will in impact the upcoming fight of these two champions? The testing was during the fight between Callum Smith and Beterbiev, so if he was tested with whatever they found, for sure it's not a violation because the fight concluded, or was it the result only shown after the fight? If so, what was the action of Callum's camp on that matter, and the league in overall?

One should struggle at first and find great rewards in the future. Even those rich people in the society, I believe they also have their means of struggles so that bitcoin investment will be possible, if it's not money, most likely the time they will spend to study and analyze bitcoin in the market.

I think in all types of investment, if you seek for future success, you should have to sacrifice at the moment so you can gain its benefit in the future. Not only for bitcoin but in different life's attempts, one might be struggling for the mean time and reap its rewards when the time is right.
670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? on: February 16, 2024, 01:03:40 PM
Think about the situation from following point: what is the age when a person is allowed to work and operate with money? I think with parents allowance, kids from 14 are allowed to have a none 8h working day. If I am not mistaken, they can work 4 or 6 hours. And in my country I think starting from 16 they are allowed to operate with money (cash desk, terminal). This refers to kids at summer selling ice cream. If from 14 or 16 they are allowed to earn officially, why wouldnt they be allowed to gamble? Isnt it wrong that they can not decide themselves what they can do with money they earned? Moreover, if we take +18 as a starting point, then a person at any age above it can make a reckless bet. So it isnt only about reckless, unexperienced, innocent and trustful kid and gambling.
They probably based it on the standard of the law, everyone might be unique but +18 people could be matured already to decide on their own. Although I can say that 18 years is still young to gamble as they can still easily get carried away and might not be able to control their emotion, but that's the law, a gambling site hs to follow, otherwise if there are lots of reports about addiction at that age level, they could increase the minimum requirement to +21.

Green cause a lot of trouble to them and they really need to think good adjustment for it so that it cannot disturb them since his stints create toxicity on their teak that can affect his teammate. He's really good on defense but what he perform is out of the box and their team will always suffer with those wrong decisions he made inside the court. If they struggle to contain them and think about play pure basketball without getting much into troubles then much better if they think about find a replacement since I think this is best for them. They need to move some of their player so that they can possibly get more better result. GSW really need a great change since their current line up is not working anymore so they should explore and find another good player that listen to them so can be more effective or more competitive to other teams.

Green has been part of the success of the Warriors when they still dominate the league, it was the big 3 ( Green, Curry and Thompson), they were winning championship already before Durant came. So I know the management and his temmates knows him very well, they might not have a perfect player for the team, but if they'lle evaluate, Draymond is more of an asset than being a liability.

Updated record 15-11 (58%) ---got 0-2 since the Suns pick ended as push. Big drop on the winning percentage as well, so let's bounce back.

Pick 1 Cavaliers -9.5 - loss
They loss to Sixers on their first game back at home, now it's time for them to start winning. The spread is high but they have been covering the high spread when they are winning.

Pick 2 Indiana -4 - loss
Loss to charlotte, I'm expecting them to beat the Raptors on the road.

Pick 3 Denver -5 - loss
Also coming from 2 losses on the road, one from the team that they'll be hosting the Sacramento Kings. Nuggets are fresh here while Kings are on a back to back game. Murray is listed as doubtful, I think if he will not play they'll be fine as there are lots that would step up on a must win game.

Pick 4 Warriors -3 - loss
Warriors has been hot and are on a winning streak. Clippers though needs to bounce back but since they are without Kawhi Leonard. I like to continue following the Warriors hoping their win streak will continue, they are on 5 win streak now.

Updated record 15-15 (50%) ---loss all my 4 picks. 0-4

I guess it's timely to rest for now after that 4 losses. My win rate now is at 50% but that's a losing rate since the odds are -110 and below on my picks. I guess I'm just gonna enjoy the all star break without a bet, will be back fresh and will try to start winning again.

It’s never a problem if you reply too fast since there are really good posters that are actually great in constructing their answers and contents are actually on point. The forum has no issue with that. However, if you wish to chase some merits and you want to hit the first or second spot next to the question, but you have no significant information to add, then you are only ruining the quality of your post. You might even have an off-topic answer if you make your post too fast without studying or researching the topic first before posting. I have noticed some posters like that and to be honest, they are only spamming in the forum.

There’s no competition in the forum, so don’t be obsessed trying to hit the first or the second spot just to earn some merits. Just take your time and as much as possible, try to do brainstorming first until you have all your ideas gathered and summarized in the end. Even if you hit the last page in the topic, as long as your post is meritable, you will definitely earn some merits without doubt.

Unfortunately, no. We all have different levels in managing and performing our trades, which means the outcome would definitely not the same. Some will end up losing, while others manage to do their trades rightly and profitably, and I think being patient can do a lot in trading. While others can be very good when it comes to analyzing the market well and predicts whether it’s good to trade or not, but if they lack patience everytime they decide to trade, their trades will definitely end up meaningless and useless.
675  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do cryptocurrency increase the standard of living on: February 15, 2024, 09:20:37 PM
Bitcoin is only a tool, it does not actually make your life change positively and increase your standard of living. But if you take advantage those opportunities brought by bitcoin using your own sufficient knowledge and skills, you will definitely gain a very positive outcome out from trading or investing.

But you won’t experience the good side of bitcoin instantly, as majority still suffer from losing before starting to profits most especially if they are still newbies to trading or investing. However, they can always change their fate if they continue to take risk while harnessing their skills and strategies, until they can finally say that they are good enough and are now able to invest or trade in profits.

Updated record 15-9 (63%) ---It's a profitable day, we are (2-1)


Let's continue.

Pick 1 : Magic +3.5 Loss
They won their last 2 games, the last game vs the Bulls went to OT but they still manage to win and cover. Later, they are hosting the OKC which beat them on their last meeting on the road, I think they are up for a revenge and will take the win. Magic remained to have a good home record with 17-7, I'm backing based on the stats.

Pick 2 : Suns -5 Push
Sacramento hasn't been good on the road, while the Suns came from a loss vs the hot Warriors, I feel they're gonna bounce back strong at home.

Pick 3 : Bucks -8 Loss
Although Bucks are on a back to back game after a blowout win vs Denver Nuggets. I feel their confidence now is back after beating the defending champion. Miami is still playing without Butler, I see another double digit win by the home team here.

Pick 1 : Bulls +4 - win
They have been playing great lately, almost upset the Magic but fall short in the OT. Hope they'll finally get a win here.

Pick 2: Rockets +4.5 win
They are coming from a road trip where they didn't win a single game.
Back at home now, with 18-9 record, I think they'll at least cover here if they loss.

Pick 3 : Nuggets -1 - loss
Bucks had a dominant on their last game but against the Nuggets, I doubt.. I think they haven't figure out the right chemistry to win, so they are on a big test vs the Nuggets, and I don't want to gamble on them.

I'm not moving, instead I will just stay in my country as the living expenses isn't that high. $2 million is already a fortune for me, I would be wise with that, I would reinvest it so it will grow. Maybe, to reward myself of that huge winning, I'm going to tour the entire country so it will be less expensive, and when the business that I had invested coming from the money I won is growing, then that might be the time I'll take the fruits of it and spend it to go worldwide vacation. This is just a plan though since I haven't won in actual life, but for sure it could change once I have the real money on my bank account.

What can you say about the new additions to the Dallas Mavericks? With PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford, the Mavs get PJ from Charlotte in exchange for Grant Williams, Seth Curry, and a first-round pick. Daniel Gafford, on the other hand, came from Washington in exchange for Richauln Holmes and a first-round pick. Watching their game against the OKC last night, I think they are a great addition for the Mavs. They can be a lob threat every time Luka drives. Gafford, a high-flying big man, is a good pair with the Mavericks' first-round pick, Derek Lively III. Imagine them in the froncourt and Luka playing as the point. Lobs are everywhere if that happens.

PJ Washington, on the other hand, is a versatile forward who can stretch the floor and also slash through the rim. What's good about him is that he doesn't use the ball that much to score; he can score off the ball, and that's good because the Mavericks have a backcourt of Luka and Kyrie who are both ball dominant.

What is also good about this acquisition is that both Gafford and Washington are young; both of them are just 25 years old. They are not in their prime yet, which is good, but with proper training and workouts, I think they can be better in the future.

Overall, the Mavericks won that trade, as you can clearly see in their game against the OKC.

It's a good deal. I am a fan of PJ Washington, he and Gafford are good additions for Dallas. And I don't like the arrogant and entitled attitude of Grant Williams. He's sometimes acting like he is a superstar which is far from reality. And Gafford already proved that he has the potential. It's sad to see Seth Curry sent to a mediocre team but he is not really doing well this season, probably because he is already aging and he is not like his brother Steph.
They had made the OKC Thunder a bad team. lol. .. But let's see more from them, if these two new addition to the team will contribute at least 15 points per game on a + overall rating, that would be big already for the team. Now that Kyrie and Luka are also healthy, I think they are now ready for the playoffs and we should be expecting their ranking to improve in the coming weeks.



Meanwhile, it seems like the Clippers and PG13 are still not reaching of renewing their contract. PG13 becomes a free agent at the end of the season and it will be very risky for the Clips. There are already rumors saying that PG13 could return to Indiana and join Hali and Siakam.
It's too early to speculate though, if the Clippers will win the NBA Finals, then for sure PG13 will be renewed with a good contract.

Okay, okay.. Another profitable day.  I almost had it perfect if Curry didn't hit the game winner.

Moving on while I'm stil hot.

Pick 1 - Heat +5.5 - win
Last time these two met Celtics had a blowout win, but now Miami Heat had figure out how to win, I guess it will be a close game.

Pick #2 - Kings +3.5 - loss
Both teams are healthy, the home team are playing back to back game and  had been blownout by the Dallas while the Kings had blownout the Nuggets at home. I will ride with the momentum of the Kings here.

Updated record 13-8 (62%) ---Not a profitable day (1-1). We need to get back to being profitable.

Pick 1 : Bulls +4
They have been playing great lately, almost upset the Magic but fall short in the OT. Hope they'll finally get a win here.
