1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't invest in Bitcoin because others are investing in Bitcoin on: Today at 03:59:30 AM
Yes, it is true. Don't invest just because it's hype, or people are talking about it. It would be very wise if we do research first. Many people fail because of this. They follow the hype too much and enter at the wrong time, so they only end up losing money. However, this does not apply only to bitcoin, but all types of investments. In-depth research, and decision making after that is the most appropriate thing to do.
The problem with people is that they tend to be more lazy when it comes to doing their own research. They prefer to ride with the hype instead, and just put their trust to those who have been successful with the kind of investment they wish to invest. That’s why a lot of newly investors didn’t make it to the top, because they never  make an effort from the start. And it’s only in the end they’ll realized that some investments may work for others but won’t work for themselves. Maybe their due diligence to exert bigger efforts within their preparation also matters a lot.

Yes investment is always risky therefore we have to invest after learning about it and if we know that such an investment field is risky then there will always be a better part of it and we can learn to reduce the risk if we want success. Success does not come in a day or we cannot get the desired profit immediately but we will work for it and a day will come when our dreams will become true.

You can use your knowledge and skills for getting profit even from a highly risky investment field so try to get help from watching videos and if possible then also listen from the experts because they can give you good learning and good suggestions regarding better investment strategies.
I believe our knowledge and skills are our best weapon towards the success of our own investment. So if we can acquire maximum learning prior to investing, I think that will most likely lead to a very successful and profitable investment. In addition, those videos and demonstrations can be helpful a lot in dealing wisely with our investments, but as a reminder, verify them first through diligent research before applying them into your own investment. That is way safer for us.

I would just have to be honest, people makes mistake, so am I, so all i can do is tell my parents about it and hope for forgiveness and promise not to do the same mistake again. They are my parents, so I know they can forgive mme because they love me, and I have to admit that I made a mistake of being an irresponsible gambler who loves sports betting.

It's not only about asking forgiveness for me, I have to get back the trust of my parents and will pay the money that I lost in gambling. That's how a responsible person should act, ask the mistake, and correct the mistake, and it will only be corrected if I can replace the money that I lose which they entrusted to me.

I would not let myself affected on that, that ticket will win, you might blame yourself. So as a gambler, we should be aware and strong enough to control our emotion and let the game be over to check if we win or not. Because if we think of cashing out once we see a profit already, then we should not be betting with a parlay, we can just do single bet or 2 leg parlay, easier, then wait for the outcome of either win or loss.

Actually, cashing out for me is a sign of being indsicipline, because when you cash out, you still gamble on the outcome as not everytime you cashout you make the right decision, sometimes you make a wrong one because you are suppose to make bigger win but you cash out.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: April 29, 2024, 10:59:59 AM
Have you guys seen the video of Inoue sparring against former title challenger Raymart Gaballo? It demonstrates the power, accuracy and speed of Inoue. Although Nery is heavier and more experienced than Gaballo. The video showed Gaballo wearing a head gear and we saw Inoue hurt former champions Stephen Fulton and Marlon Tapales and Nery is no different. But of course I am also interested what Nery can offer. He's like a Japanese assassin when he ended the long reign of former champion and p2p top 10 Shinsuke Yamanaka.

Inoue-Gaballo sparring: https://www.facebook.com/reel/3388484004785974

Thanks for the video mate,

Dang, the power of Inoue is really unreal, I agree that even if Gaballo had that head gear to support, still though he felt Inoue's power. What if there are no head gear? The result? Almost 90% KO rate for the Japanese.

Definitely, Nery will show in this fight just like what others did feeling very confident. But once Naoya got into his rhythm I wouldn't be surprised that Nery going down early or another knockout win for the Monster year and then putting his name on top of the pound for pound list.

Inoue is just getting stronger and I'm pretty sure that Nery is aware of that. As long as Nery is confident to face Inoue, we will surely see a an exciting fight, unless the pass opponents of Inoue that when they feel the power of Inoue, they change their style and become more defensive to prevent from getting knockout. That way, if they will do that, that's an easy win for Inoue and people will not be happy with their performance as that would only show they are just fighting to survive.

This Suns vs Timberwolves game has been pretty close with plenty of lead changes. All the superstars are having great games. This one is fun to watch. Durant and KAT especially are having great games.
Yeah, very close.

Remaining time is 7:38 minutes in the 4th quarter and Edwards has got 20+ points and still a lot of time remaining. While Booker got 42 points.

This could be an OT later.

I was hoping for an OT but Suns could not convert their shots, the defense of Timberwolves is so good. Now, this team who exited will still be the same team next season, I wonder how the management would feel after investing a lot of money for the big 3 that they could not get a first round pick. They are getting old, and they lack players especially the 2nd unit who could help Durant and Booker, I don't know how they'll work that out next season but they have to.

It's better than the game ended that way so they will not expect anymore. Suns were able to limit ANT early but he exploded in the 2nd half where it's winning time. I don't see the Suns being hunger anymore, they don't play with great chemistry and it was really their defense which is a big problem.

Booker scored 49 and Durant had 33, but it's not enough because one of the big 3 Bradley Beal only score 9 points. Sorry to say but IMO, he has become a liability of the team, no wonder he got traded from his old team. So next season maybe one of the big 3 will be traded.

Losing in 4-1 record is better than losing in 4-0. They will still lose anyway because no teams  yet in the history of the NBA have come back from a 0-3 deficit. Yes, Durant and Booker really put up a good numbers but if we look at the full scoreboards, it's pretty evident that the bench have a very few contribution.

In fact, if we look again, only 2 players are in double digit for the Suns while the Timberwolves have 4. That's the evidence that the Suns are not moving the ball well or not playing like a team, so they can't really win.

This is not good, Knicks beat the Sixers and the series is now 3-1 in favor of the Knicks.

Brunson scored    47 points, probably a playoffs high for him. I can't believe the Sixers being a good defensive team was not able to stop Brunson, now they are in a dangerous situation as next game will be at the home of the Knicks, and it's likely that they will lose since Knicks had taken the first 2 games in the series. Great season start for the Sixers but then again they just proved that they still are not a good playoffs team.

What a crazy game.  Yes 47 is his playoff high and actually a knicks franchise high in the playoffs...ever.  Dude is slowly climbing the all time kncims ranks and he has only been on the team 2 years lol.  In all seriousness they had hartenstein out all 4th quarter with 5 fouls and no mitch today.  They had precious Achiuwa in all quarter and barely ever went into the post.  Knicks dominated the offensive boards.  I think one series down they had 5 different offensive boards.  I'm a Knicks fan so I might be bias but this Knicks team beats you in so many ways.

This team is legit, honestly, I underestimated them as I believe that Brunson isn't as good as the legit superstars, you can't blame me because he is not even an all star starter but night in, night out, he just showed how good he is and could really carry the team like a legit superstar. I don't know if there's someone in the team now in the playoffs like him, I think he is the only one with one supertar in the team that could drop 30 to 40 points in a game and this is in a low scoring game. BTW, congratulations, seems like your team are gonna advance in the 2nd round easily.

@btc_angela. This is what has been said by only the very few of the boxing fans in boxing forums and the fans in bitcointalk.org might be thinking that this is only a conspiracy theory if we mention it hehehee. If King Ry did not win against Devin Haney, I reckon everyone would remain to think that this is only a conspiracy theory. It is headshaking. Much of these fans want to think and only accept Tank Davis has won without speculating why and how. We were scammed by Tank. We should not support this type of person.

There’s no doubt Tank had an unfair advantage but Ryan bears some responsibility for agreeing to those terms. Canelo and Floyd have used similar tactics before, but it has not had much impact on their legacy. For me it diminishes their accomplishments, which is why I consider Beterbiev, Nakatani, and Bivol better pound for pound fighters than Canelo, even though many lists have him third only behind Inoue and Crawford.

I think Ryan has no choice though, he is the B-side on that negotiations and we can say that he just wanted to fight Tank Davis. And there could be upside as well for him as far as PPV revenues and live gates and that's why he said yes.

And he just try to make it real but telling the public that there is a rehydration clause and Davis camp didn't disagree with him and they justify that Ryan is too big for Tank that's why they inserted it in the contract. And most likely why Tank as much as he had that superstar power, is still behind with some fighters that you mentioned as far as greatness is because he just wanted to protect his 0 at all cost.

Ryan sees an opportunity to make a big paycheck once he fight Tank Davis and it did happen. What's in the contract are valid, and since the fight happen, that means both have agreed to it, so Ryan could not come up with excuses on why he lose to Tank Davis. But that's the past, Ryan have live up his name now after he defeated Haney which is of his own size, and if we think that Ryan and Davis will meet again, then I think this controversy or excuses will come alive again, better these two will just move or stay to the weight limit they are comfortable with so they can always give their best to win.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: April 28, 2024, 02:27:41 PM
If ever this fight will materialize, Spence better pay Derrick his dues so it will not become an issue, because Ryan will use this to distract Spence.
It's still unclear who Ryan is going to fight but I lean on a Pitbull Cruz match since he keeps on bragging that he can easily beat Pitbull Cruz, I hope Pitbull disposes of Valenzuela so there's a possibility that the match between him and Ryan happen.

If Ryan wants a belt, he can easily choose Pitbull Cruz. I think Ryan's boxing skills is way better than Pitbull Cruz, and since he already know how to use his advantage and could make the right adjustment in the ring, he should easily win here. However, I don't think it's gonna be a short fight, because Pitbull Cruz has never been KO in his boxing career and even game Tank Davis a tough fight although he loss via decision.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No gambling today due to bitcoin high transaction fee. on: April 28, 2024, 01:28:42 PM
On the other hand, since most people here earn their satoshis directly to their casinos' accounts through the signature campaigns they work for, transactions' expensive costs aren't an issue, so they are free to gamble today despite the current scenario faced by Bitcoin market. They just won't be able to cashout their funds today from the platform. Personally, I just hope it's not going to take so long until we have average fees once again.

This is reasonable because as the Bitcoin price is gets higher, of course transaction cost gets higher too. And its just right that its an advantage that you can too directly play the earned satoshis to selected gambling sites. However true, there's really a big change truly after the bitcoin halving. Just like how temperature higher, transaction fees gets higher too.

I think there are only few people who gets paid through their crypto casino account, I only know few campaigns as most of them paid directly to the users bitcoin address. However, I think it's not too relevant now because bitcoin transaction fees are back to its normal, at least we can transact now with $2 or below, unlike in the past few days where it's really high that it's almost impossible for us to take our money out from our wallet.
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: As Bitcoin Prepare for more Bull, What's your Decision on: April 27, 2024, 09:46:46 PM
It's already clear what most of our decision s would be which is to hold, bitcoin is just in it's early stage of bull and we are still expecting a lot from it, the current price of 60k is just a sign that bitcoin would surpass it's ATH by a margin and set a new ATH record of about 150k, I'm saying this this cause we are still not less than 2 months into the bull earlier this January the price was still consolidating around 35k-40k now we are seeing an awesome 60k, anyone who bought around then should already have a doubling effect on his investment, and if you ask me the only way to prepare for more up is to buy even more bitcoin.
Exactly. Just continue to accumulate more bitcoin while bitcoin price has not yet achieved its new all time high, and then hold throughout the process. This is the best possible way so you can prepare yourself and your portfolio for the next bull run, and reap massive profits in the end. Do the DCA with your spare money, so that you won’t be bothered by price correction that may happen anytime, and won’t end up with panic selling because the price of your investment is dropping.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should only hold Bitcoin on: April 27, 2024, 09:19:22 PM
Currently the only option to invest in and hold over the long term is Bitcoin

If you truly don't want to risk wasting your time and money, then Bitcoin should be the first investment coin to go for in cryptocurrency, some of the newbies make this serious mistake because they were not given the opportunity of knowing this before they went far ahead on making investments on shitcoins they know nothing about, and at the end, the loose their investments and the coins either failed or turned to scam.
There is no other coin that can be trustworthy as bitcoin. Don’t be fooled with altcoins and be deceived with its too good to be true offers and opportunities. Instead, stick to bitcoin and go for long term hodling if your goal is to maximize your profits in the near future. Know that bitcoin always defeat other crypto coins when it comes to its utility case and profitability. But still, make an extensive research prior to bitcoin investing so you will be aware of its risks and won’t make wrong decisions throughout the process.

First identify what sport he really liked to bet, focusing on one sport is better as he can concentrate with the sport he really know. I pressume that ones a gambler do sports betting, he already have an idea about the sport he is betting. IMO, bankroll management is very import, $5 may seemed small but it will have to start with a small amount, see if he can manage the bankroll effectively, and if he is successful with that, then he can think of gradually increasing the bankroll but the percentage per bet should still be the same.

The key here is you don't loss control with good bankroll management and that will help you to go on with a long term journey.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 27, 2024, 07:33:13 PM
For the first time today, a first-round series could be over. If the Denver Nuggets win tonight, they'll sweep the Lakers. I don't think there's much the Lakers can do. Maybe they can take this game and make it 4-1, but I think they're going to get swept. They needed to win Game 3, they couldn't do it. Jokić and his friends will finish the first round tonight so they don't get tired anymore. We saw how Gordon played, everybody wants to go to the next round as soon as possible.

I think this will be a sweep but it's all going to depend on lebron and how much he presses.  He needs to cut the long range shots out and drive the hole.  Only way they win is if they get a couple Nuggets in foul trouble.  They have to press the situation.  I'm laying off this game bet wise because I don't ever bet on games lebron is looking at the offseason, never know the dudes head space. 

With the way the Lakersa re playing that they feel tired when the Nuggets are leading comfortably, I'm sure they know that what they will try to achieve at the current standing is close to impossible. I'm afraid we are seeing a repeat there, so I wouldn't expect too much on a close out game even if the Lakers are still playing at home. Same here, I'm laying off this game, it's so unpredictable, it either the Lakers will not play their best or the Nuggets would give this to the Lakers and celebrate the win at home.
17  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The Illusion of Trading Success on: April 26, 2024, 09:59:14 PM
Those traders who you have highlighted are not scammers. It is not right to call them that. They have been able to  build reputation, gathered the right audience through engaging content, built trust through consistent value delivery, and converting viewers into buyers and mentees. They are the metaphorical shovel sellers in the quote in a gold rush do not dig for gold, sell shovels. The monies they accumulate from the courses, their YouTube channels may now go into placing higher traders although they do not tell us the outcome, it is just what I am speculating.
Of course, they don’t force people to believe on them so they won’t totally fall as scammers. They are just doing their own job trying to educate these people around that get interested to trading, although it comes also with their personal interest to increase their views and get high compensation. But I really do agree that it’s very improper to call them as scammers, maybe the term “influencers” is probably what’s best suit for them.
18  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why has bitcoin prices not increased just after halving ? on: April 26, 2024, 08:59:29 PM
People who are expecting the movement right after the halving are people who have not seen the previous halving. I have been here for three, and even with this one four halving I think, and I can tell you that we are not going to really see any big changes at all, we are seeing those changes a few months later. That's of course what I believe will happen, and doesn't mean that we are not going to end up with anything different.

Just focus on the future because halving DOES make it go up, just doesn't do it right afterwards, it takes a couple days for it to get there. I believe that we are going to end up with a much bigger and better result eventually, we just need to make sure that we can wait a few more months to get there.
Patience is the key. If you can’t be patient and can’t wait for few more months to see if bitcoin price has create a progress, then I believe even if we are not talking about halving, your mindset will definitely not work with bitcoin. Know that bitcoin price will certainly not stay high or low all the time, as it’s highly volatile so it makes price fluctuations most of the time.

You should have prepared for this before you decide to take the risk investing in bitcoin. Otherwise, if you chose to be in panic, you will only feel a lot of stress that will push you to sell at a loss.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If someone you introduced to BTC says the risks of her funds is on you on: April 26, 2024, 08:06:27 PM
Dear fellas, please I needed to know how you would feel if you were in my position basically where she said I would refund her if her funds gets lost becasue you recommended and introduced her to the system.
Don't introduce anybody to invest in Bitcoin or any other business without informing them about the risk involved. You don't also give anybody a guarantee that their funds are safe and it will also yield profit. Recently there have been cases of government attacking decentralization including wallets. Nobody knows the next wallet that might be seized by the government.

We cannot also erase the fact that scammers and hackers are still on a rampage in the crypto industry. There is also no certainty that she would make a profit from her investment because Bitcoin price is unpredictable. She sounded as if she was doing you a favor or her Investment will also benefit you financially. If I were in your shoes, she would get no assurance from me.
Exactly my point. I would not let anybody invest in bitcoin and expect that she will eventually gain profits after a short time, that won’t work with bitcoin. Bitcoin is a long term investment and is highly volatile, so it’s own price will always be unpredictable that anyone who wishes to make quick profits will always end up disappointed. And with that, I will be straightforward to her and tell her not to invest in bitcoin if she is not ready to lose, as anyone who’ll invest with bitcoin will surely lose at some point.

I was not expecting to see Pacers win a single game against Milwaukee, but seems like they can fight against them, lets see this night what they do.
That's probably because you aren't aware that their best player Giannis was out?
Because if he was playing, then it's possible that they can sweep the Pacers, but please don't underestimate that team because that was the team that beat a healthy Bucks in the in season tournament.


About yesterday games, another day in the office for Denver, 3- 0 against Lakers and a magnificent game from Gordon and another nearby triple double for Jokic, what an animal he is.
It's not surprising to see a triple double for Jokic as it has already become his normal. He will be one of the greats when he retires,  people will remember here especially that he humiliated Lebron in their 2nd attempt in the playoffs.

next score is 4-0.

One surprise was how easy Magic win against Cavaliers, not expecting that at all.
I didn't watch the game but a 30+ victory, that's quite unbelievable as that's how good the Magic are on their home court.
