301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying house rent with bitcoin is it appropriate? on: January 29, 2024, 03:01:04 PM
Why do you think it's a mistake or lack of financial knowledge when Bitcoin is also a currency? Maybe it is, if Bitcoin is banned on that country. You even said that BTC is better than fiat. Not all times BTC had an increase in its value. But, I think this is the reason on why you think one should keep his BTC rather than spending it.

Well, thank you for your concern but we don't know, maybe those people still have a BTC left on their wallets. And then, not all BTC users are hodlers. Maybe these people are already earning well outside, so there is no need for us to worry about them. A bank can actually give us an interest but this is only small. Fiat supporters wouldn't care anyway.
The fact that he wants to pay in bitcoin, then most likely he has store enough amount of bitcoin in his wallet and he has to spend some of it to save his fiat. There’s no wrong actually to spend bitcoin since it’s also a currency, and as long as the user will benefit from it, then that should not be our concern anymore. Regardless of what he will do to his bitcoin, that’s already part of his plan. And spending bitcoin isn’t a waste of money and time, that’s also an effective way to promote bitcoin and utilize it based on its original purpose, to act as a currency.
302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Casimero (possible fight in 2024) Let's discuss! on: January 29, 2024, 12:16:00 PM

Maybe the clearest fight to speculate is Casimero vs Tapales since this have more chances to happen and it already create a noise since both parties is open to set this fight to happen. We don't have date to speculate but for sure this is bound to happen since both of them have something to prove and also for now this is the biggest fight what Casimero can get so for sure he will pick up this match up.

This is a good fight to know who is the better fighter between the two because Casimero has criticized Tapales about not even competitng with Inoue as according to casimero he isn't throwing punches that could hurt Inoue. They want to make money? this should be the fight, but I think it will happen in the Philippines as they don't have a big market in the US, Filipinos will be happy, both fighters will receive a decent paycheck.

If Tapales will win, then the speculation about Inoue avoiding Casimero would become invalid.

^^^

There chance is quiet slim but if they can find good solution towards their struggle just like what Clippers did maybe they can see something helpful and  then can able to figure out how to use their roster properly and I guess their coach doesn't know how to adjust base on situation which is their main problem that's why they struggle to win.

I think the Clippers and the Lakers are on a different situation. You can see that the Clippers have 4 superstars (Leonard, PG, Harden, and Westbrook). These star players have now found a good chemistry when playing together, unlike when Westbrook was with the Lakers, it was only all criticism to him that's why he got traded to the other team.

With the Lakers, they only have Lebron and AD, both dominant big man, but the other players are just mediocre players, they are good with their defense but the Lakers doesn't have a lot of outside shooters that's why their 3 poing percentge as a team is very low.
304  Economy / Economics / Re: Save while young better than wait on: January 28, 2024, 09:59:28 PM
Start saving and creating your wealth. It’s always better to see yourself saving early so you can perform your plans successfully at your young age. And while it’s certainly a must regardless of the amount of income, but we should all know that saving alone is not the end goal, it will only serve as a starting goal so we can make a successful investment later on.

However, having sufficient amount of savings still cannot guarantee the success of any investment. You need to invest first in yourself by building your knowledge and experience which will help to achieve your end goal of why you invested in the first place.

Show what your true self is and what you are capable to do. If you are a newbie, then act as a newbie that have less knowledge and even no experience on what is happening around. That’s why you’re here because you need to create a substantial learning and build good experiences so you don’t need to pretend that you’re exceptionally good and can be as knowledgeable and highly experienced like the high ranked members in the forum.

Newbies need a lot of research and studying so they can understand the crypto space and can make quality posts and share their reliable experiences. So work on it to develop the best version of you, and not to prove to the rest of the members that you are better than then and can be more successful than them. This forum creates no competition. If you are seeing your co-members as your competitors, then you will likely thrive hard having that kind of mindset.
306  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time to buy BTC NOW? on: January 28, 2024, 02:13:30 PM
I would not say now is the best time to buy bitcoin because its price is slowly going up high. But if you want to ride with the hype when bitcoin halving comes, then invest early as today so you won’t miss another bitcoin opportunity. Just use DCA in buying gradually a portion of bitcoin so you won’t take the burden of spending a big amount of capital. Still, the most important thing is learn to manage the bitcoin risks so you won’t see yourself backing out or worst quitting from your bitcoin investment by selling it lower than the position you bought it first.
307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! on: January 28, 2024, 07:55:23 AM
Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel? When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat? Do you consider this a problem? If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?

I have this problem, and based on my personal experience, I find that sometimes I get challenged but not too greedy because I don't have a problem quitting when I'm winning. However, when I'm losing, that's where my struggle lies.
You are not the only one having this kind of problem dude, but don't worry, as long as you keep trying to learn from your mistakes you'll eventually become a responsible gambler. The community is here to help you, good thing you shared so you could also get to see the experience of gamblers like you here.

I think you should also try to talk with your friends, or your family since they know you. But if you are ashamed and you felt that this problem of yours isn't that serious and you can manage to solve it eventually, then that's okay. Read more articles related to this, watch videos as that might help you and it's free.

That's why I shared it here; I feel that some of you may experience the same challenges, and I'd love to hear your ideas or experiences on how to win this battle so we can enjoy gambling.

When you are reckless you really can't enjoy gambling, so start learning how to control your emotion and everything will be easily. You don't want to stop gambling, don't you? So find a ways to stay and enjoy gambling since it's fun.

Lebron on the other hand knew that so he attacked the rim at the last overtime to get a foul and then he hit both freethrows to win the game.


I would say that it was a clutch move by Lebron, sometimes he'll just settle with 3 point shot or pass the ball as he doesn't want to take the last shot. But since he was hot during the 2nd OT, he should end the game. Honestly, I didn't expect that the two FT will sink, I mean, Lebron is not good in FT line when pressured, and he needed to make 2 to secure a victory, and good thing it happened.

I'm enjoying the game as neither team does not want to lose, and actually I bet on the Warriors hoping they'll bounce back from a disappointing lose to the Sacramento Kings, and here it happened again, it seems like they are not really good now in closing the game.

And Draymond, I'm happy he is back, and by the way, if you guys notice, the Warriors offense are flawless when Draymond is on the floor.

I see you're asking too many questions - you probably won't get anything done before you start. Based on what you asked - you are probably not a new user just getting into trading, so don't make comparisons between you and others.

I hope I haven't misunderstood you - so don't waste your time and do your best and don't force things. Every trader's strategy is different - what's best for them may not be best for you, so don't copy others for your trading.
Exactly. It seems you’re a lot obsessed into trading than any other trader here. Remember that every trader has its different method and strategy on how to profit from his trade, and what might work for others might probably not work for you. So focus on your own and develop your skills and significant strategies that you can utilize in the future.

Trading is not a do or die, so when actually do his thing in trading, regardless if it’s a negative or positive outcome,  what matters more is the experience, not actually if he lose or profit.
310  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin has never pass ATH before halving but it has always dip don't panic. on: January 27, 2024, 07:31:51 PM
Bitcoin price history might certainly bring some significance at present or in the future. However, we can’t also guarantee that price may repeat itself this time, or it could be the other way around. But whatever it is, bitcoin investors should not resort into panicking. That will only lost his focus on his investment or on his trades that will lead him to an unexpected loss.

For the mean time, just observe the market. Bitcoin price may suddenly drop or move upward, and that’s normal due to its volatility. That’s why before you decide to invest in bitcoin, make sure you don’t easily faint if sudden price crash starts to appear.
311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Pacquiao vs. Buakaw - April 20 on: January 27, 2024, 01:41:03 PM
It's good that old fighters still get to do what they love, which is fighting, even if they're already at an age which is considered old for such a sport. Fans often miss these fighters. And what's more important is that these legends can still earn big bucks in these exhibition matches. Pacquiao and Buakaw are two giants in the fighting scene, although in different sports. No bad blood between them. No belt, championship, or ranking being chased. This is for fun mainly. But it's also the reason why I'm not that interested in betting in exhibition matches.
One of the benefits or opportunity for those who do become legendary fighters is that there is really a huge fan base on which it would really be that still interested
if ever they would really be deciding on having those possible matches. Doesnt matter if its an exhibition as long they could really be able to see them fight on the ring.
Doesnt matter if its a cross sport match based or what, there would really be always those sports fans would really be loving to see these matches.
When it comes on betting on exhibitions then its true that im not really that someone whose really that interested on betting into these matches on which we do know
that this is could really end up on a draw or having no decision or it is really obviously on whose gonna win because of the boxing rules that had been set out.
So its not a brainer on which one whose gonna win.

What do you mean not a brainer on which one is going to win? For me, it's more difficult to predict who is going to win in an exhibition match. In the first place the fighters are not fighting for their record or a belt or whatever. They're simply fighting to entertain the fans. So there is reason to think that they are not really undergoing rigid trainings and preparations, nutrition, diet, etc. It's understandable because they're not fighting professionally. And they're already old. So this could just be a match purely for fun. It's therefore hard to analyze.

I get it. Both might not take it seriously since it's just an exhibition match. But carlfebz2 is right, it's no-brainer on who will win this fight because this is a boxing exhibition match and Manny Pacquiao is a boxer, while Buakaw is a kick boxer. Have you seen a kick boxer beaten a popular boxer in an exhibition matches?

I believe fought a UFC fighter (mayb similar to kick boxing), Jake Paul as well, these two popular fights picked a UFC figher for their exhibition matches and they never lose a fight ,so let's assume that we will see the same outcome here.
312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - March 9 on: January 27, 2024, 01:00:29 PM
the result of the poll says a number of us here want Francis to win.
That's an obvious result, we like the hype Francis brought to the boxing world particularly in the heavyweight division. So a win here would proved that he is for real as he beat a real boxer, not an ordinary boxer as AJ was once a champion. Though the odds says otherwise, we still love to see Francis winning this big fight.

since i also want a rematch of Francis and Fury, i want Francis to win.
Francis is already a legend in both boxing and MMA sports so he is as experienced as AJ in fighting but because AJ is much more graceful than Fury, this fight could be tougher than him with Fury.

i think if Francis loses this fight, he may be concentrating more on PFL.

Francis just need to win here, he has to focus on his fight and eventually he'll get the rematch he like. Last time he earned $10 million as reported, but in a rematch, I guess he'll be making more money, or getting a bigger share of the slice.
313  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to make money on cryptocurrencies without investment? on: January 26, 2024, 09:33:03 PM
While a lot of people are focused on crypto as investments, there are also some job offerings that gets you paid in crypto without releasing an amount of capital. If you have the skills, you will eventually be accepted on it, but if you are still in the process of learning, then you have no choice but to reserve some funds to buy bitcoin so you can hold it and sell only when it reaches a significant price. That’s the most common in the crypto market.

However, signature campaign is also a good source of income. But with your current position status, you still have to work on it before you can be accepted to work in a campaign.

314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - March 9 on: January 26, 2024, 03:52:19 PM
Joshua is going to win this match, Joshua has the required experience to win this game. Let Ngannou not think that his performance against Fury is going to earn him victory over Joshua who is obsessed with coming back to the top and reclaim his belts. It's going to be a good fight no doubt about that, but I expect Joshua to knock him out.
I think most of us here think that Joshua will win, just like when Ngannou faced Fury, people thought that he has no chance but he surprise the boxing world. Now, depsite that almost an upset win by Ngannou, bookmakers are still making him as a heavy underdog, so it's up to us now to evaluete if we really believe that Ngannou really has a chance to upset Joshua on their fight.

A win for Ngannou will give him an opportunity to challenge a champion, while for AJ, he'll be back to square one again.

Though on paper this looks very predictable, but we never know what will happen in the actual fight, and since AJ is has some weakness too as evidence on his multiple losses, Ngannou might be able to exploit that.
315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tim Tszyu vs Keith Thurman WBO super welterweight Title March 31 on: January 26, 2024, 03:14:35 PM
I was checking for the betting odds, and it seems like Thurman here is a heavy dog.

Thurman is 5/1.. Shocked
With all his inactivity, this is pretty much reasonable, people would try to tempt to bet on thurman knowing his track records unless the inactivity is due to the concern of injury or similar and will affect his future fights and this is the fight.
There's no harm in trying as long as you don't bet an amount you can't afford to lose. Whatever he is doing to stay fit, we just have to trust him on that part. But we can't deny the fact that Thurman only have one loss which is from Manny Pacquioa.

Compared to Pacquioa and Tszyu, I think the former was the better since he is now a legend, he has power and quickness, and yet Thurmand did have a good and competitive fight with him.


I think Tim might beat Thurman though, maybe Keith is about to hit his sunset in boxing for being so inactive and can't pull the trigger anymore.
I will not be so easy about on this if i'm on the Tim's side, Thurman get seeking this stage and would probably do his best to startup again his career.

Thurman wanted to become a champion again, he's been saying that, so we will see if he can make it happen against a younger and very active champion.
316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why the rush to gain profit in crypto? on: January 25, 2024, 11:54:39 PM
The most annoying thing to me about this forum or just forums /social media sites in general when it comes to cryptocurrency or more specifically bitcoin, is the whole "profit" thing.   "How to profit" blah blah blah.  Yeah sure it's great owning bitcoin and making money from it with increases in price, but for me it's truly about the technology and what it brings to the table in terms of the blockchain, decentralized etc.
That’s how it’s supposed to be but we can’t control also the mindset of majority that when they hear about bitcoin, it’s all about profits and getting rich quick. Most probably because they also based their assumptions from the crypto influencers spread online, and based from the real life stories of some early investors who are now living in success.

However, for us who are really aware about the best advantage of bitcoin, we are more focused on the technology that it can offer to us, and the decentralization thing that gives us the sole control of our finances without being interrupted by any third party.
317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ryan Garcia - Rolly Romero Tentantive date April 20 on: January 25, 2024, 01:29:18 PM
This should be a title fight, Rolly Romero holds the WBA super lightweight title, but it's obvious that it was a controversial win by Rolly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaFWzU719fc

But in any case, it's a classic fight, both have power, but I think Ryan will be smart about this fight, he might have learn a lot from fighting Tank Davis. And with Derrick James guiding him and this is their second fight, we might see him winning in a hard fought match. And I wouldn't be surprised if he will catch Rolly with his left hook and knocking him out and then winning a belt at 140 lbs.

I want this fight to happen they are in the final stage of the negotiation, these are two thrash talkers, and when we have two trash talkers fighting inside the ring expect a lot of drama, no one wants to get beaten on their thrash-talking, it's going to be a battle of power and skill inside the ring and a battle of who is the best thrash talker while doing press and media conference.
Rolly Romero's last fight was not that good he was almost beaten by the aging Barroso in a controversial stoppage, while Ryan is very convincing in his fight against
Oscar Duarte.
I thought Ryan Garcia would lose on his previous fight but he knew how to make an adjustment and he KO'd his opponent. Based on what I observed, looks like Ryan has matured and he added some defensive style, and with his power on both hands, he can hurt Rolly who is not an undefeated. Both fighters fall to the hands of Tank Davis, so we they are just leftovers, lol. But Rolly is the champ here, so Garcia has a chance to be a champion if he steal the belt from Rolly.

I have Ryan here winning by knockout, I believe that Ryan can connect his left hook because Romero is stationary and very stiff, he is very careless when moving forward, and he can easily connect that left hook.

Same here, Garcia has power and Rolly are not as quick as Davis. So may the best man win, but I'm betting on Garcia to win by KO too.
There's no official betting odds on this fight yet since it's not yet official but I believe Ryan Garcia will be listed as the heavy favorite even though he is the challenger.

318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Kambosos - May 12 IBF Lightweight Title on: January 24, 2024, 01:33:14 PM

 

If Loma couldn't KO or win more rounds then it could be a win for George by decision. Loma not winning this fight is nowhere else to go. He has to win otherwise it will be a series of loss.

I have not seen Loma slowing down in his last fight against Haney he did better than Kambosos against Haney on two occasions so it's easy to figure out that Lomachenko will be a better fighter when the fight that is why I posted that we don't need a post for this fight.

Both fighters badly need to win this fight. I'm sure they will both go all out to prove that they deserve to be in contention for a title, It is always good to see if you see two fighters battling it out or surviving to stay in contention, the loser will slip further in ranking. The winner will move up and possibly earn another title fight.
Both fighters still have what it takes to be champion again it's just unfortunate that one of them will have to unless the fight ends in a draw.

Of course, he is still the same Loma whom who we praise. Loma lose to Haney was not convincing, and that until now the fans are still shouting for a rematch, if Haney would agree, we will see who the real winner is. If Kambosos could not even match the skills of Haney, I don't see any difference with Loma who has the power and also a very technical fighter.
That should be the expectation now but anything can happen. Ever remember when Kambosos beat Teofimo Lopez? I think everyone was expecting for    Teofimo Lopez to win that fight easily since he beat Loma here. So if we follow the chain, the fighter that beat Loma was beaten by Kambosos, so it could be Kambosos now beating Loma. That's why we can never say it's an easy fight for Loma.

I think this fight will end Kambosos career in boxing as he is now in a losing streak .And as on the choices in the poll, I voted for Loma winning via KO.

Not surprise seeing that 77.8% of the users voted for that. Well, it will likely happen as Kambosos are not good in playing defense, so he needs to have a solid chin to surive this fight even if he lose.

He is not in a losing streak, last fight held last year but ended as Majority Draw.

Now, he is back to a big fight again, a lose here could make him decide to quit as it's unlikely he will become a champion again if he stays at the ccurrent division. But that's up to him, so far, I haven't seen a fighter that was severely injured after fighter Loma, and Kambosos seemed to have a solid chin as he stayed up even with a bloody face on his previous fights.
319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Zhilei Zhang vs. Joseph Parker (WBO interim heavyweight title) March 8 on: January 24, 2024, 12:16:10 PM


Actually Parker has more fights as per boxrec, and he is younger, looking at that he got the edge but bookies listed him as underdog.

https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/613846
https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/692149
Because Parker was beaten by stoppage by Joe Joyce who Zhang beat twice by stoppage on those two fights so based on the analysis and on the theory that you have to beat the man that beat the man, Zhang is the favorite to win, this fight looks even two me, I already agreed that there should be a dedicated thread for this because not only this is a title fight but its also this is a much interesting fight as the fight could go either way, it depends on who wants the fight badly.
Both fighters know the importance of the fight and they will go all out for this fight.

So far the result of the poll

Zhang by decision   - 1 (12.5%)
Zhang by KO   - 6 (75%)
Parker by decision   - 0 (0%)
Parker by KO   - 1 (12.5%)

Zhang by KO is the winner. Most of us here believe that it will happen and Zhang will dominate the fight. However, I don't consider it a big factor that Joyce beat Parker while Zhang beat Joyce twice because Parker might have improve and he gained enough confidence now after beating a KO artist Wilder. IMO, this fight is very unpredictable, two unpopular boxers which one will be a champion soon. Hopefully they'll gain more popularity after this especially if this fight will end up to be a close contest so we could possibly see a rematch or even trilogy.
320  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why people mostly fail in trading on: January 22, 2024, 02:11:30 PM
People needs mentorship for them to excel in trading what they mostly do nowadays instead of them getting to attached themselves with people who knows what the real deal is with trading they will go search some random youtube influencers who don't go into details with their trading guide, even those who claimed to have been an expert in trading also lose money but they won't come to air how much they have lost rather will be post little tips on youtube to build their youtube followers by the time they noticed they've gain lots of followers they began to make money through their youtube channel and totally forget about trading.
If you are really determined to be a professional trader someday, you would definitely prepare for that, not just physically and emotionally, but more likely financially as it’s a lot expensive if you hire a professional trader that is certainly knowledgeable and skillful on his craft.

While real professional traders demand for high professional fees, you can find it free in social media if you indulge yourself with these self-proclaimed successful traders. Probably that’s the reason why a lot would settle getting some tips from these kind of people, not realizing that even if they save their funds from not getting real professional traders, their bank account will also be compromised if they entrust their money with these too good to be true traders from the social media.
