1262  Economy / Economics / Re: How is the cost of living in your country? on: March 24, 2023, 11:51:10 AM
We are all concerned about the rising prices of items, the rising costs of utilities like water and electricity, and the fact that we cannot afford to purchase even the most basic necessities with our salaries. I am unsure of what will happen to us because inflation appears to be rising in other countries as well.

if the government doesn't take action the country can collapse, and experience bankruptcy poverty will be the largest population community if the country has experienced a shortage of people's money if almost 75% of people are poor

Of course, the state has carried out many policies to reduce poverty, but the problem of poverty is very complicated, it cannot be solved in 10 or 20 years. The easy thing to do is to owe other countries or invite investors to manage economic potential, usually when investors enter, economic activity start to normal and slowly poverty will decrease.
Specially in a 3rd world country that I lived in, poverty rate is every high, and as much as the government is doing everything, I have seen like in the last 20 years it's can't be solved, or at least being cut.

So very hard, it's going to be survival of the fittest now, everyone need to fine a way and survived specially right now. Right after the pandemic, many were laid off, so it's hard to find a job that will help us sustain. Prices is rising as well, government is corrupt, so there is a never ending problems with poverty in our country and I doubt that it will be resolved, as the rich become richer and the poor become poorer.

Not sure where you got the P&D in Bitcoin. As far as I know, it is being used to altcoins as they can easily be used by some entities behind to push their projects or any coin for that matter.

But with BTC, it's going to be hard to this so called pump and dump, it will take billions and several whale to collude with each other just to move the price to the direction that they want. Also, there are several members here who believed that pump and dump and bitcoin should not go in one sentence, just saying.
1264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: March 24, 2023, 10:59:33 AM
That's right, I watched that too because Donaire is like Pacquiao, his left fist punched hard and really hit his opponent and if he was crushed, it would be hard for his opponents to get up.

So I think that even with his age, his opponent should not be complacent even if it is said that he is younger than Donaire because when it comes to experience, Donaire is more for sure. He had received more blows than someone younger than him.

But Donaire is not as quick as Pacman. He may have the power of Pacman, but I don't think he has Pacman's quickness and stamina. What Donaire has is timing. He is good at timing his punches, which is why most of the opponents he has beaten were knocked out due to his great counterpunching ability.

That's true, you cannot compare Donaire to Pacman as Pacman is too special. He lost to Ugas, but after that, he could still fight, but he chose to declare his retirement because he was busy with politics. As for Donaire, he does not have any involvement in politics, so he is focused on his boxing career. We just have to wait for the outcome of this fight and maybe conclude that Donaire is old if he loses. But until that happens, let's expect the same Donaire who is a dominant boxer.
Yeah, too very different animal in the ring, Manny rely on his God given talent of speed and power combine and his ability to go up in weight without any issues whatsoever. As compare to Nonito who rely more on his timing and counter punching and developing one of the best left hook that we have seen in the last decade or so. I still remember him cracking Montiel with perfect left hook and Montiel on the floor was a scary thing to witnessed and after that it was reported that Montiel suffered a hairline crack in his jaw. That's how powerful that left hook of Nonito is during his prime.
1265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Shuichiro Yoshino April 8 on: March 24, 2023, 10:19:36 AM

Upset still possible but I can be more biased here since byt stats and by capabilities Shakur do have a huge advantage.

Not unless if Yoshino will get that lucky opening and throw a KO punch that will bring Shakur in the floor.

The chances of Stevenson getting knocked out are very low because we know how careful of a boxer he is. According to his stats, he is not a KO artist and yet remains undefeated. This means that he does not take unnecessary risks by going toe to toe and instead relies on his advantage, which is his quickness. Therefore, it is possible for him to get KOed, but the chances are close to none.
His quickness and boxing IQ and I would say that the also possesses a decent speed and power. But he likes to work against his opponent, soften then up with body shots and his jab and maybe knock them down, but not knock out.

That's why we love to see him against fighter with his same caliber like Haney or Loma. This fight against Valdez is like a example on how to fight a boxer with power and he just dominated Oscar on that fight.

The Japanese could be his test int his new division.
1266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 24, 2023, 09:51:47 AM
Very tough lost for the Brooklyn Nets, they have control of the 4th quarter and leading by 10 points. The Cavs was chirping their lead away but they are still in the thick of the game. But costly mistakes, turnovers give the ball to the Cavs and they were able to take advantage of it.

And Donovan missing the 2nd free throw that could have tie the game, but in the scramble for the rebound, 3 Nets goes for the ball and so it went to the Nets and Okoro made the 3 in the corner.

1268  Economy / Economics / Re: Always Have a financial record in whatever business you own on: March 23, 2023, 11:09:31 AM
I think it boils down to data, and we all know that data is king so even if you are not into business you have to write down anything. Myself do this specially for budgeting and specially what I need to settle every month specially credit card bills, so what's more with your business? You need that data to see where you are missing something or what areas you need more budget as I have a store before so at the end of the day I have to write down everything. So I agree with the OP here, write as much as you can so that you can measure your success or failure.
1269  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will pump soon? Lower interest rates in june. on: March 23, 2023, 10:43:23 AM
As far as I understand in their meeting last night, they did not mention whether they will stop raising rates or will start lowering rates in June, everything is still unclear and they will make a decision depending on the situation economic situation. Inflation is still high so I doubt they will cut rates soon. Due to the recent collapse of banks, they will not be in a hurry to raise rates but will instead increase them slowly and possibly keep rates unchanged until inflation actually falls below 2%. It is difficult to predict what will happen to bitcoin and the economy in the coming months.
If I'm not mistaken, the FED has raising its key interest rate by 0.25 and that's why the price seems to go down below $28k. But we have bounce back to high of $27,700, so I guess the price will continue to rally again this month and could $28k again.

June is just like a couple of months from now, and with that way the bulls are taking control of the market, then it's possible that with or without this kind of outside influence from the FED, the price will continue to grow to $30k.
1270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are Casino Sites Cheating Us? on: March 23, 2023, 10:24:54 AM
I think everyone of us here has been in that kind of situation before, we play with small amounts and then we win, but going bolder with huge amounts we lost the game. Most likely it's luck on us, or the casino could have set something in their end to make us win with small bets? to  give us the odds? Not sure though is this is true or not.

Regardless, still gambling and the risk is there, maybe there were times that even a small amount will not give you any winnings at all.

And as what the majority says, very hard to come up with such proof.
1271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The future of CBDC in gambling. on: March 23, 2023, 04:17:51 AM
I agree with the majority here, it's just a digital copy of fiat so it will be accepted by casinos not just by Macao by all over the world. And for sure government might be pushing for it as we will go cashless in the future, although there are far more advance nation in Europe already that are going cashless and digital.

But with the advent of CBDC, it will be more evident moving forward that it will be part of the society just like fiat money.

So there will be no advantage for us, I guess. Maybe we might used it more often though than a fiat system.
1272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 23, 2023, 02:43:08 AM
How about Paul George awkward landing causing injuries?

It is being evaluated but it seems that he will be out for at least a month now? It could affect the chances of Clippers in the playoffs now, as he and Kawhi as the anchor of the Clippers and it's hard to see him with that kind of injuries in the knees since we all know that he had history already.  Still very close down the stretch for the teams in the West bundled up in the 6th-12th spot. A couple of losses should spell the difference between making the playoff and being in the play-in. Although Norman Powell is set to come back, but still though, missing Paul George is going to be tough for the Clippers.

Huge loss for Clippers but they still have Kawhi and Westbrook. They don't depend on George alone. We'll probably see how that affect the team in Thunder game tomorrow.
If he won't return for play-offs it may be first round loss for Clippers as they'll play against Nuggets or Grizzlies anyway, considering their regular season standing go down.

Not a good loss for them knowing PG 13 is huge contributor of the team and they might struggle for their chase to win with he's absence since as stated they need to win to regain their current standing and secure a spot for playoffs. But I believe they can retain this as they still have two superstar in the team and Westbrook need to be a reliable replacement for PG13 so that they became more efficient for their games left in this series.
I'm not sure how reliable Westbrook, I mean we have been criticizing him when he was with the Lakers. It's not on the shoulder of Kawhi, we need to see him more producing the numbers and performance when he was with Toronto and bring their 1st ever championship.

So moving forward, not a Clipper hater, but they could be a bit of struggle, just like the rest of the teams in the West who are going for a playoff spot. Gonna be tough, and hopefully PG13 can get back in time and no surgeries to his knees.
1273  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much return are we expecting next bull run? on: March 22, 2023, 02:58:38 PM
Of course the hope of many people in Bullrun will have great returns. However, it is very difficult to predict how much return on the next Bullrun. But, I am sure that when the next Bitcoin Halving the price of Bitcoin will again set a new ATH record. So holding Bitcoin until Halving occurs is a good step to get big profits.
The next halving is indeed possible for a better price increase in Bitcoin, but to reach a new ATH again I think it is also still uncertain because considering that the price of Bitcoin is still below $ 30K so Bitcoin needs more increases to reach a new ATH in next bull run. But I am also still optimistic that there is Bitcoin for this because there is a possibility of a much bigger increase in Bitcoin this year.

We are only a few thousand away from $30k which we could hit in a matter of days/weeks.

I think by the end of the year Bitcoin will be at least $40k and once we start to gain momentum going into 2024 won't take long for us to reach $50k and then from there pushing onto the all time high.
Yeah, $30k is possible within this month or at least next month April. And with all the negative things happening on the banking system, people are now into crypto specially bitcoin.

So I will not be surprised to see that at least at the end of the year, we can reach $50k. And that momentum will carry over till next year because that's when the bull run will start right after bitcoin halving. For now, let's just hope that nothing will happen in 2023, no black swan event that will cause the price to falter once more.
1274  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Space ID Token Listing Today? What should I Do? on: March 22, 2023, 02:38:17 PM
Good luck though and for those who are going to invest on such a hype. To be honest I'm not familiar with Space ID token, but anything that is coming new to the market, I would say it's good until the hype died down.

And the timing though, ware in a bull run right now so obviously, market are very lively and they could get a couple of investors.

As for what the OP should do, then just hold or if you really believed in this project they buy more and see how it goes for you.
1275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Game do you think is a Game of Chance or a Game of Skill? on: March 22, 2023, 02:13:57 PM
  • Slots
  • Balckjack
  • Baccarat
  • Poker
   

I think Slots is a game of chance and Poker is a game of skills. Do you agree?
1,2,3 is obvious based on pure luck, Black Jack though you can read the cards, but casinos will automatically ask you to leave if they suspected of you of card counting. Or putting a lot of card in the deck so that it will be hard for you to count the cards.

So Baccarat, there is no strategy, either Banker or Player, or Draw.

Poker, require skills, there's already a pro circuit in the US with millions of dollars as winning price.

Slots? we all know that answer to that.
1276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 22, 2023, 01:18:01 PM

My hopes for the Lakers in making the playoffs are going back and forth lol. Now that they'll need to maximize the use of AD on the court, because they are now lacking big men, there will be a huge possiblity that AD will going to be injured again. Now, if they can make it to the playoffs and everyone in the roster is injured, then everything they worked hard for the season will gonna go to waste.
Well, they could run it back again next season or they will going to ruin it again by rebuilding the roster.

Yeah! of all of the teams in the NBA today, they are the ones that have lots of fans wanting them to get at least at the play-in tournament and to be in the playoffs and it seems like they are getting a hard time doing that because in their next game against the Phoenix Suns, they are more likely the underdog and they really need to prove something in that game because once they easily lose that game, that would be a scene to tell them that getting to the playoffs will not be a good experience because once again they will get swept by the Suns just like last time.
They are just a slight underdog against the Phoenix Suns in their next game, and they are playing at home, which makes them comfortable. So it's a good match between AD and Ayton, and on the wing Booker maybe against D'Lo or maybe Vanderbilt.

But Reaves could be the big difference for the Lakers in this game. I mean he is putting numbers and he is now a superstar in Los Angeles and maybe surpasses the original white Mamba in Caruso.
1277  Economy / Speculation / Re: 26k mark finally breached on: March 22, 2023, 11:59:33 AM
Bitcoin finally climbs 26k and it's definitely looking more like a bullish trend now as many new investors were worried from it massive drop from its 25k to around 19k in the month of March. For me am definitely praying for the price to drop more so I can buy as much bitcoin as I can but the dip always scares some investors but I say the dip is a good sign for me make more from the market as buying low and hodling till the prices go up is definitely more yielding.

What's your pick on this. Will March bring more great feats or a massive dip will be experienced after this pump.
For people who understand bitcoin, it must be very fun to enter the market and buy some bitcoin when there is a decline, because for some people who have small capital steps can be taken to buy when the price starts to fall. But I believe that for this month bitcoin will experience another correction, so waiting for a lower price will be profitable for us to enter the market and buy it.

If we apply a short-term strategy in investing and the initial purchase is below the current price, we may have benefited from the previous price increase, even though the profit is not large and not too maximized from the long-term strategy.

It is indeed a very good opportunity to have bought Bitcoin at a lower price. Most people who have these kind of opportunities are those who are constantly DCAing. They could never miss a single opportunity. This could actually be applied to both people with huge capital and limited capital.
People with huge capital may opt for a short term profit and buy again win Bitcoin gets into a correction again. But for the people who have small capital, long term hodl is what's best for their Bitcoin.
I agree with some experts that "holding is the key to success". It is impossible to expect anything good from Bitcoin by those who do not know how to hold. Moreover, there is no certainty of getting anything good by trading for a short period of time. Depending on Bitcoin's potentiality, the current price may be considered a dip if one is encouraged to invest in it for the long term. Bitcoin is currently trading at a  over $28k. Probably with in short period of time it will reach $30k.
Yeah, it's too early to sell, of course, you can take out profits as we go on if you needed to that money. But definitely, it's better to hold and wait for the eventual bull run next year. Bitcoin investing is really hard, I mean you really have mental fortitude, to be strong not to sell early and wait for the right time to make profits.

So now $26k has been broken, it's now the support line as we are looking for $30k at the end of the month.

Hopefully we can reach that in the next week, although we might be happy already to see $28k because we really didn't expect that 2023 will be a good start of us.
1278  Economy / Gambling / Re: NAKAMOTO ROULETTE launched today on: March 22, 2023, 11:41:42 AM
Every casino must be able to be responsible for what is their policy and cannot just change everything that has been set at once because it can cause bad feedback and disappointment from customers.
This is the problem for small and not reputable casino, when there's a lucky gambler win big amount, they will freeze the funds and the reason is they're still under investigation about the account. They will ask the gambler to wait until the investigation end and they will trying to accuse the account break their rule. If the account doesn't broke any rule, they can add new rule and no one will know it!
In the end the casino will win again isn't it.
At a casino that doesn't have a reputation and is young enough to be used as a place to gamble, there will always be problems and there are always reasons for refusing to pay out the big winnings of its customers.
Cases like this often happen and we as gamblers can only accept decisions without being able to ask for proof, because if we ask the casino for proof they will only answer for security reasons and cannot publish the evidence.
After that the casino looks right and the innocent customer looks wrong when it's all because the casino's bankroll is not enough to pay its customers' winnings.

I don't know about the withdrawal of funds, so I haven't checked it yet, but today I tried to play and even managed to win 18,5k satoshi, but it's not serious to withdraw such amounts. It's bad of course that there is no recording of the game, since I did not expect that there would be a win, then I was not ready to take screenshots, there is only a changed balance.


Sorry mate, but I don't understand it? will be able to withdraw or not? Just interested because as we all know that they are a new website and promoting that there are no KYC whatsoever.

I just again try their online roulette to see how provably fair it is, but then again, it's live game and you can see that someone is really putting money here wit the live dealer so perhaps it's real. But just interested about the withdrawal if it is real time and you don't have to wait.
1279  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price is looking positive green on: March 21, 2023, 05:19:32 PM
Back over months is reddish, I could hardly think about bitcoin as anything good soon but it seem like there will be positive green movement this mid of the year coming. Bitcoin can never be overrated sometimes it will destroys your feelings, sometimes it will bring excited, dudes, is been a while we reap the juicy part of bitcoin. 3 days now is looking greenish with improvement I hope the pump starts soon enough, this green looks real positive
And that's why bitcoin investing is really a journey, and we really don't know what will be the price, we could be expecting this X price in the next coming months, but then again, it goes Y price.

So right now or at least 2023 looks very positive for us, this month alone could be another biggest gain just like what we have seen last January. And with that, we just leave it that way. There are a lot of negative things going around us, specially in the US and it seems that bitcoin is the biggest winner right now as people are more willing to invest this month alone.
1280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 21, 2023, 04:29:36 PM
I can't believe how well the Jazz played. They beat the Kings, who are a good team. This team is so underrated. I believe it's their system that makes them better, because even without their best players, they can still win a game, and the team they beat is one of the best this season.


This is the same team who will gonna jeopardize the chance of the top 9 and 10 if they are gonna win most of their games because they are not too far to include from the play-in tournament. with this win, they even get to the number 10 spot and send the Lakers behind them, if the Lakers will continue to struggle, then their chance to push their way to the NBA playoffs will be no more and the Jazz will have the chance to gamble their way to the playoffs. with this kind of scenario, I'm sure it will not be easy for rank numbers 7 and 8 to get to the playoffs if ever the Utah Jazz is included in the play-in tournament.

They have a chance because they are in the top 10 now, so anything can happen, including the Lakers losing their chance in the play-in tournament. I like the Jazz because they are not under as much pressure compared to the Lakers, who have high expectations from the crowd because they have Lebron and Davis. The Jazz are composed of young guns who are not even all-stars, except for Markkanen, but it was his first time to be an all-star.

Every game matters for the teams who are behind, so we can expect that they'll play hard just to get that playoff chance.
True, every game is a must now specially for teams like in the 6 position and down, so it's going to be very interesting in the last games of the regular season. Maybe for us bettors we could get at least some underdogs and good win just like what @Maslate did.

For GSW, it's a win I guess, so they are going to face the Mavs, maybe Luka can play that time. So again, it's not a very easy game for them if in any case Luka can't play. They still have Kyrie to deal with, and who knows, maybe he can erupt anytime.
