1301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH vs BTC future growth potential on: May 05, 2023, 11:55:01 AM
That's pretty tough to recommend. You'll find bags of predictions and advises here but no guarantee available! But combination is depends on you. Both are potential coin for long term with huge marketcap. but if I were you then I would buy 4 ether & 0.4 btc with some others potential altcoins  with rest money. Cause if you analysis the chart of ath, then You'll sell altcoins can multiple your fund faster than btc, although risk is also multiply high than btc also
Perhaps, it was noted already that Bitcoin and ETH have shown impressive market growth when it was finally launched in the market. In fact, only a few numbers of individual who trust this project, how much more this time as the number of investors and adopters keep increasing. It was pretty obvious that these coins will grow more or if may not, we have some assurance that it never die instantly unlike to what happen with shitcoins.
Well, I say to OP that he should have his own stance why choosing them, not just because it was recommended by someone but it should be on what he thinks is right.

The Celtics might beat Philly on the road after that stellar game 2 performance, but I think we should forget what happened in game 2 so we won't be too aggressive in putting our money on the Celtics. I think the home team here is the underdog since most bettors will likely choose the better team between the two. However, Philly is still undefeated at home, and they need to bounce back after an embarrassing loss. I like Philly in this angle.

Therefore, my bet is on Philly moneyline.


I'm tailing you on this one. In my opinion, there seems to be a problem with the line. After the strong performance of the Celtics in game 2, I think Philly should be at least +3.5. However, looking at the current line, it opened at +1 and is currently at +2. I believe this is another trap that we should avoid, and we should be on the right side, which is Philly.
1303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 05, 2023, 05:29:39 AM


With what happened in Game 1, I think the Warriors need to win Game 2 and at least one game in Games 3 and 4. The Lakers are hyped now, and people are thinking that they will win the series and possibly end the defending champion with a 4-0 or 4-1 record. However, this is just Game 1, and anything can happen, just like what happened in the Celtics vs 76ers Game 2, where the Celtics bounced back strong and dominated the 76ers.

They need to not let the Lakers win another 1 again and that game was at home aswell, so it is a great upset for the Golden State Warriors to upset them in their own territory, it is a big feat for Anthony Davis after that 50 points play of Stephen Curry, he is back in his regular form again, and lets his teammates do what they can but yeah I really think that game 2 will be their win that is why I made a bet on it,



Davis was really inconsistent. After scoring 30 points in game 1, he only scored 11 points in game 2 with 7 rebounds and had the most turnovers on the team. It was a bad game for Davis, and as a result, the Warriors dominated the Lakers to tie the series.
1304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 05, 2023, 04:46:36 AM

 Nobody can help them but they themselves, if someone is on the verge of collapsing due to addiction, he or she should realized that he has already stepped into something with no return. I also think the the stages of grief could be apply on this situation since one should be able to accept that he is addicted before voluntarily asking/seeking for help to his closest one or someone he could trust. I have seen so many people forcing their loved ones inside the rehabilitation and in the end there is not that much improvement since they couldn't accept that they are addicted while adding the fact that they felt betrayed by how their families forced them inside to change as if they are being abandoned. From what I have observed just like alcohol, out 10 who were being rehabilitated, there are only 3 in most cases who changed while the rest came back to their old habits or stayed inside the center. Although it is not that accurate prediction I know for sure that it is not the main solution for addiction.
Addiction can't easily be forgotten. Let us say that person stops gambling and is being rehabilitated, it doesn't mean that he is totally healed from addiction. Because that person still has the chance to become addicted again when remembering the past and especially, if he did nothing in his life. That is why it is necessary for them to become busy with other things and have their attention and focus on it so they couldn't remember what they are doing in the past and most of all, it was important to regularly engage them in physical activities.

I don't know why people often trust meme coin or altcoin to an extent getting involved with $5m how and why?
Do you think such person have a common sense or he doesn't have a financial adviser someone who works as ADC to him?
If that he invested the whole lot of money to bitcoin alone then I don't think he could had lost this way, maybe after the market gained another ATH then he might sell and get back those invested funds.
Meme coins are considered hyped coins and we can't deny that many people become rich and earn huge profits from investing in them during the hype. Their experience teaches them something really happen in the crypto space and they will be doing this again and again despite the high risks. I won't say that they don't have common sense but they are really practical in this matter, perhaps they are smart and have the ability to adapt to the situation. We can say they are wrong but guess what, risk takers earn more profit, and these meme/hyped coins investors possibly earn more than those who invest in Bitcoin ( and they might lose huge amounts as well).
1306  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Seeking help with PEPE on coinbase wallet on: May 04, 2023, 09:17:18 PM
Of course, you can't sell them because although you can see PEPE in coinbase exchanges but it was not yet open for trading which means it only stuck there. And the only thing you gonna do for now OP is to contact their support system or withdraw your funds but yes, that will incur fees which is a loss on your side. This is why it is very important to check first before sending our funds, awareness is somewhat needed otherwise, we will be wondering why it happens. As this coin is a new coin, you can't really expect it to be listed and traded in major exchanges.
1307  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I don't know if am right or wrong about this. on: May 04, 2023, 12:14:02 PM
...
I mean I usually tell my family or friend that the crypto world is risky business and sometimes I tell how much I lose or get scammed.
At least they know your situation and are aware that not all who come into the crypto space make money so easily and much more on trading.
A reason why we should not force people to come here and join the investment, instead it was their decision to be here and never blame anyone for whatever happen to them.
And you OP, you'll nothing have to worry about his situation as you did your part already and it was your friend's decision if he pursues trading or not.
Because your intention is to give him some awareness, ideas, and crypto education, not to scam him.
1308  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The fear of losing bitcoin... on: May 04, 2023, 11:46:54 AM
This is the result for someone who just dives into an investment that they are not familiar with and definitely know how about it.
Perhaps, people are screaming when seeing the price dump and speculated badly but guess what, they are too noisy then and proud when they got a huge profit from Bitcoin.

People who uncertainties on their life about their investments will be meant failing in the end. That is why before investing in Bitcoin, we must also aware of the consequences that we possibly encounter. We shouldn't take this easy as it was not and avoid negative thing that will affect our goal and decisions.
1309  Economy / Speculation / Re: Halving effects, how long they will last? on: May 04, 2023, 09:18:34 AM
Halving won't last long because after the bull season, the drop is really what we expect and another market struggle waiting for another 4 years and another halving.

This really depends on the investors or the buyers because, in every halving, the rewards decrease, meaning it becomes more valuable, but if the investors won't be buying bitcoin, then there is still no effect. It is still the cycle of buying and selling, but again, in the past halving, we've seen a lot of people adopting it, and until now, it keeps increasing, so the price will still increase as long as people or countries are adopting it.
Actually, many people had come before halving but then just leave after the bull market and after selling their coins. Then most of these people will turn back in the next halving. In this case, as long as the scheduled halving which is every 4 years, the situation will remain and I see how important is halving the crypto space as it brings more investors, newcomers, and another chance for new ATH every cycle.
1310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we help to Bitcoin education? on: May 04, 2023, 08:45:02 AM
The best way to teach the world about Bitcoin was through the internet if you do a Youtube video it's already a big help to the community just make sure that you share useful knowledge about crypto or Bitcoin. Other social media platforms will be a great help Facebook, Twitter, etc. was great platforms for sharing cryptocurrency, I mean bitcoin is already spreading and I can see a lot of countries continue to adopt Bitcoin on a lot of platforms.

I guess the easiest way was to teach your knowledge to your family or relatives since they are the ones who you can easily teach your knowledge, when you do that and they also believed in bitcoin and start to invest they might as well teach it to their friends etc.
Yes, there are resources that can be found on the internet and it is all there, only we need to look at them. But it was not just we addressing them to look into it but also, it was important to have at least some discussion personally if possible because there is a big difference when it was just reading compared to a situation where someone is talking to you in front or just true virtual communication which your questions can be answered right away and clear.

But I see that it was best to communicate and educate people who really have an interest to listen and being open-minded. They will surely grasp what we wanted to teach and be able to retain it in their minds.
1311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: May 04, 2023, 02:18:58 AM


Yes, not going to be surprised, we don't know how long is the contract or when it's going to end, but for sure, majority of us might have the same feeling that Ryan is just waiting for the right time to cut his ties with Oscar and who knows, goes on the other side, PBC.

Gonna hurt Oscar if that happens, but this is a cutt throat business, this guys are really going against each other and if you want to survived, then Oscar needs to do is still go and look for more promising boxers again. And then pamper them, make their name more hype and then get that belt. He still has a lot of stable boxers though, so could be fine if Ryan decided to part ways.

I've never seen a boxer going all alone in the post-conference without his trainers and promoters and these people are making a lot of alibis without being in Ryan's corner when he needed them the most, there's confirmed news that he parted ways with Goosen which is the right thing to do, he has a bad game plan stalking a hard-hitting boxer like Tank, the possibility of Ryan leaving Oscar is highly possible, Ryan is still a draw in boxing matches and any promotions would like to have him in their rooster.
It's just one big loss, he'll have more big wins coming if he gets a good trainer and possibly good promoters.

A lot has changed with just one loss of Ryan Garcia. This only goes to show that when you're no longer an undefeated boxer, you'll likely have a harder time climbing the ladder of champions. Just like what happened to Thurman and probably other boxers who are no longer undefeated. The only exception I know is Pacquiao, because even if he's not undefeated, people are still excited to see him fight. Moreover, they're also expecting him to win every time.
1312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 04, 2023, 01:48:23 AM
Everyone just saw the expectation that we've set for ourselves. Both teams are good just as expected and this is where one of them is going to end.
Well, here goes the 4-3 predictions that I'm seeing on them and we'll know it soon. But we're sure that GSW won't just let this end favoring the Lakers.
And within the next few minutes, we'll see if Celtics will take their first win or if Philly is going to take their 2nd win.

With what happened in Game 1, I think the Warriors need to win Game 2 and at least one game in Games 3 and 4. The Lakers are hyped now, and people are thinking that they will win the series and possibly end the defending champion with a 4-0 or 4-1 record. However, this is just Game 1, and anything can happen, just like what happened in the Celtics vs 76ers Game 2, where the Celtics bounced back strong and dominated the 76ers.
1313  Economy / Economics / Re: Concers About Going in Business with a Friend on: May 03, 2023, 10:00:41 PM

On the other hand, there are many success stories of friends who went into business together and succeeded to together. If you have ever gone into business with a friend, what were your biggest concerns and how did work through it.
No way running a business will succeed without trust and that is what we need to build up. That is why we should consider having a partner that can be trusted as well especially when it comes to money and must be transparent with all the transactions we made - liquidation and complete listing is very important.
These things should have been carried both of you to avoid misunderstanding otherwise, it fails.
 - behavior
 - positive attitude towards the business
 - positive mindset

1314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it wise to stake your crypto currency on: May 03, 2023, 09:39:34 PM
Why not?
I think staking is fine even providing liquidity is also fine, so long it generates additional increase of value for you.
after all they are created for purpose that is for investment for select people out there, I think if it fits your need just stake it.
It generates additional income for you which is the sole purpose of staking while waiting for the price to grow. This is what the exchanges promise to the holders. However, we are also taking high risks and the possibility of losing them all if ever the site where we use to stake collapses or a scam. In fact, so many cases happen like this which is why we should take caution where we stake, and much better if we choose reputable sites/exchanges instead of choosing new sites to lessen the risks. Leading crypto exchanges like Binance offered such features.
1315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you favor betting on spesific sport? on: May 03, 2023, 12:52:18 PM
Most probable reason is they beleive that they know that game much better and also about the team they are going against so it's most likely they will bet on the sports they are watching most often. Anyway 50/50 chances games look like easy chance but its not cause one small move from the least favourite can make them to move in a comfortable position. But the reason is simple we believe we know the game deeper than most people out there.
We believe that once we identify the sports that are no longer a 50/50 chance, we can gain an advantage, and focusing on just a few sports in sports betting increases our chances of success. The reality is, the majority of sports bettors are losing money, which is enough for sportsbooks to stay in operation for a long period. If we are one of the few who can make a living in sports, then we can live a wonderful life as a successful professional sports bettor.

Those who are serious in sports betting are dreaming of making a living in sports betting, that's my ultimate goal as well.
1316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: May 03, 2023, 12:29:42 PM
The truth seems to me that Spence is not very well regarded from a sporting point of view, I don't know why he doesn't give him a rematch, ...


Wait, who is the fighter that you are referring to that Spence should give a rematch to? Is it Thurman? Because the last time I checked, they haven't fought yet. Thurman has only one defeat, and that came from Pacman. Thurman and Spence have a similarity in that they both beat Shawn Porter, but I can say that Thurman did better compared to Spence.
1317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 02, 2023, 05:44:57 PM
Here are the result of my picks for today's game,

Boston Celtics VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 115 - 119 - LOST

The Celtics are getting on with it at the start of the game but the 76ers was quite impressive at  the half time that they still regained momentum in getting those win, now James Harden is cracking up a week or in a steroid for pulling something like that is his age, Tobias harris got 18 points Tyrese Maxey got 26 points, James Harden for 45 points, the 76ers have done a great job in winning the 1st game against the Boston Celtics but we all know about the Celtics and what they are capable off, but the wins are surely needed by the 76ers now, and congrats to all that bet for the 76ers,
You're right. That is indeed a much needed win for the Sixers as they knew that the Celtics are capable to bounce back and dominate any given game.

I bet not too many bettors have managed to win this game especially after the fact that Joel Embiid is not playing with the Sixers in Game 1. However, there are some bettors who took their bets way early before the final tip-off appeared and surely that scared them when they knew about Embiid's situation, but they are still lucky enough because James Harden carried the team and upsets the Celtics on their 1st game.

1318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: May 02, 2023, 05:17:59 PM
Its his last fight with Goosen though, as Garcia is parting ways with the fame training,

Quote
BoxingScene.com has confirmed that Garcia has parted ways with veteran trainer Joe Goossen. The split comes a little more than a year after the two joined forces in early 2022, working just three fights together and which ended with Garcia’s lone career defeat when he was stopped by unbeaten star Gervonta Davis in the seventh round of their April 22 super fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

https://www.boxingscene.com/ryan-garcia-parts-ways-with-joe-goossen-following-knockout-defeat-gervonta-davis--174277

So from Reynoso->Goosen->Huh?

Who's next for Ryan? and can we blame him for leaving Goosen as his trainer? They are very close as Goosen has trained Ryan in the amateurs and it was reported that the Garcia's are close to Goosen. But obviously, with the way he lost against Tank, I guess Ryan might not be satisfied on how him and Goosen put up their strategy. Anyways, we will see which one his going to pick next as he wanted to go and move up to 140 lbs.

So, it seems that they are on the blaming game now and I wouldn't be shocked if a similar news will explode that Ryan Garcia have cut his ties with his promoter, Oscar Dela Hoya, although, I'm not even sure if Garcia can do it now (this year) because he got a contract under Golden Boy. I guess, we'll know about it soon as they are now on a hot mess. It all started when Oscar didn't show up in the post-fight press con.

Well, maybe but not this year though but there is a chance that it will happen soon enough because as far as I know, Ryan Garcia did inked a 5-year extension under Golden Boy Promotions last 2019 and that will end somewhere next year. So if ever Ryan Garcia will not have any other fight this year, then I think that mega-fight against Davis will be his last under Golden Boy.
1319  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is Bitcoin always affected on: May 01, 2023, 09:56:10 PM
because of all things related to the economy, btc will be involved, especially big banking news like that, and also bitcoin is well known to many people so that bitcoin has been involved in many circles.
It is facing the same speculation that any other asset faces. There is stocks, commodities, housing - which all feel the burnt of the economy, bitcoin is not going to spared from that because the people who are investing are similar and their actions to dump at a red signal and buy at a green, contrary to what is supposed to be done.

What we should do is whenever they sell, we will buy at the low price. Then you will not worry about the price anymore but how much you have at hand to buy. All assets are affected in any economic problem, bitcoin is the least of the worries though.

you can buy at your own risk and as much as possible your spare funds. because whatever this market will bring to the table, we are only waiting for it to happen. at the moment, we can only speculate to what may possibly happen on its future.
as considered to be another financial asset these days, whatever is happening in the financial market, it will also be affected as the people are trying to move their assets including bitcoin.
Whatever happened to the global economic system had also give a huge impact on any investment platform which includes Bitcoin and the crypto market. As we can see, when the war between Russia and Ukraine is over, the price of Bitcoin got to start moving high. People have a hard time investing when the economy is low which obviously affects the buying volume of Bitcoin and the price decline. But people become aggressive when they are financially stable believing that this would save them in the future.
1320  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investment involves being realistic, doesn't it ? on: May 01, 2023, 09:26:19 PM
That depends on your plan and just like what @ANSEL_2.0 have mentioned, it doesn't really matter if there will be some small rally or slight pumps in the prices if you're holding it for a long-term but if it's just a short term, then taking profits during those pumps will be a good idea because there will be some corrections that will happen along the road. But in my perspective, I'm not really into taking profits in my bitcoin portfolio because I'm holding it for a long-term whereas for my altcoins, surely I will take advantage of the pump.
Well said, those who are long term bitcoin holder they will never did sell their bitcoin for this kind of market pumping and the main cause for it is their strategy. But these pump can help to short-term trader  even then many of them get in to bull-trap. I also niw observing the whole situation of market because that cause. But if price goes ups like this then any fornat can make investment with their dca on bitcoin but not selling.
 
Real investors remain calm despite the troubling situation of the market and they are very certain about their plan which is somewhat different from short-term holders or those investors who just come when the market is bullish. Their goal is very clear and that is to hold for many years as they believe that Bitcoin is a promising investment and would give them a profitable output as well.
But this is a different approach when talking about altcoins as we need to become vigilant of their movement. It is too risky for long-term holders but this is eventually good for short-term investors.
