Everyone is once again waiting for Westbrook to have a change, but we all know what type of basketball player he is. It doesn't mean that he is a bad one, he just doesn't fit in with Lakers. I really hope that Lakers trade him, and gave whoever they have to. Because, one more star and 10 other bad players would be god enough to actually get them further.

You can count me in as I'm also waiting for Westbrook's possible change this upcoming season, it's still too early to tell that he doesn't really fit in the Lakers system because we only saw his for a year. I mean, one bad season doesn't define the player as he still has the chance to come back strong and as for Westbrook's situation, he better be back strong because this season is his last judgment.
1202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: August 31, 2022, 10:37:56 AM
i am also certain that bivol will be the bookies' favourite here once they release their odds. with the recent win of bivol over canelo, for sure, boxing fans will be rooting for him as well. but with ramirez' record and being the same age with bivol, those are factors that bivol's camp need to consider. this is not an easy fight in my opinion. the odds' gap may not be far from each other. just think of it, would ramirez permit this to be his first loss? nope. so he will also train hard for this fight.

After defeating the pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez, it really makes sense to believe that Bivol will be the favorite even though Ramirez has also good credentials, a good record, having the same age as Bivol, and is also a ranked fighter in the Middleweight before.

But my guess about how gap their odds is not that distant. Maybe I will give Ramirez around 2.5 to win the fight while Bivol is around 1.5. I don't want to think that bookies will underestimate Ramirez just because he is against the favorite Bivol.

That fight against Canelo really put so much hype on Bivol's name because Canelo is not that easy to defeat but the latter successfully dominated the undisputed boxer in the SMW in almost all 12 rounds. On the other hand, I also won't be that surprised if it shows Bivol is the favorite in the lists of the sports bookies, I mean he earned that even if Zurdo is also an exceptional boxer with pretty records.

Just because you saw a guy with a Bitcoin shirt doesn't mean that Bitcoin is getting popular in your local community.
I have the feeling that Crypto/Bitcoin is getting more popular in the underdeveloped countries, rather than the developed countries.
Probably because the fiat currencies of those underdeveloped countries are weak and cannot be easily converted into a global fiat currency like USD. There's nothing wrong for crypto to gain adoption inside rural communities. The problem is that many crypto scams are the first thing that is getting spread among people, who don't have enough knowledge about blockchain technology and the crypto industry in general.
This might create a negative experience, which might scare away many people from Bitcoin.
That’s certainly a fact as even in my own city where I lived, lots of negative thoughts about bitcoin are more spread than what it can be beneficial to the people. So how much more in rural areas where the people are less modernized so they easily believe on what is the news trend as they thought it’s already facts. The reason why complete adoption for bitcoin is so hard to achieved.

right now i’m in debt for $6k but i want to keep DCA. should i focus more on pay my debt down or investing?

Focus first on paying completely your debt, that way you will not be bothered at all whatever the result of your planned investment. As much as people would want to seize every opportunity to invest and generate profits, but that also comes with right timing and best entry to invest. Otherwise, you will waste all your money and effort because you did investments at a very wrong time. DCAing for bitcoin is good, but you can’t focus on it if you have not settled with your previous loan, so pay it first.
1205  Economy / Speculation / Re: I've been confused in BTC on: August 30, 2022, 08:40:34 PM
I am very disappointed with the state of Bitcoin in the current market. Because last week its price was 24000 dollars but now it shows 21 thousand dollars. I want to know from you, is the price of Bitcoin likely to fall further?
The price of Bitcoin don't have a specific time, so the price of Bitcoin going up and the price going down make some investors and especially new once lose hope in cryptocurrency. Investors always be angry when the price of Bitcoin falls because sometimes the investment is something we have to know that is risk of losing is hundred percent involved and and the risk of profiting is also hundred percent involved.
As bitcoin price becomes very uncertain to predict, then we can’t tell exactly as to how its price moves from time to time. There are times the price moves up and skyrocket, and there are times too that its price drops and fall further, but all of these are just normal for bitcoin. However, if there are events that triggers bitcoin, then let’s expect that its  price will be affected and will eventually drop further.
1206  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can One Actually Do Crypto Trading As A Living? on: August 29, 2022, 10:55:19 PM
I've heard of many people talk about cryptocurrency and its potentials all the time and at a point I begin to wonder if one can just depend fully on cryptocurrency as a means of livelihood.
There are those who made remarkable success trading with crypto but for sure, they never reached that point instantly. They gained lot of losses at first, before they attained crypto as a good source of living. However, trading also has its own risks, if you’re not skilled and do not have proven strategies that will work, better leave trading as a side income. Find another stable job that gives good compensation, so that if crypto fails to provide profits, at least you have your own job to sustain your family’s needs.
1207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be worth zero? on: August 29, 2022, 09:26:38 PM
We all know how volatile and unpredictable the cryptocurrency market can be. One month, a coin may be at its peak of value, and the next, it may have almost no value at all. Unfortunately, this is simply the name of the game when it comes to cryptography. But what would happen if the oldest and most valuable asset on the market, Bitcoin, dropped to zero?

https://portalcripto.com.br/en/crypto-crash-2022-bitcoin-pode-valer-zero/
font: https://portalcripto.com.br
This question is already expected from a newbie as one is not knowledgeable and used to see the market having price fluctuations most of the time. But when we talk about bitcoin, knowing it’s the most prominent and the one that dominates the crypto market, it’s hard to see its value dropping into zero. Although bitcoin is also not stable, but knowing that it had survived more than 10 years of battling with a lot of attacks, that one proves that bitcoin will not be easily become useless in the end.
1208  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How will you handle this case on: August 28, 2022, 10:13:38 PM
I don't know how to handle this case, I have two junior brothers in my small town who lives opposite to my house, one help the other to create a trust wallet and 100$ worth of Ethereum was deposited into the wallet, two days later the fund was moved out to am unknown address, after asking few questions from the wallet owner I found out that the other guy has access to the wallet too, I believe he did the dirty trick because he never warned the wallet owner to never share his recovery seed with anyone..if you are in my shoe what will you do..

If you can track the transaction history of the person who have access to the wallet of your brother then sue him or report it to the police so that that person can learn a lesson to not steal. But if you can't track it I think better move on because even if you know that guy has an access for sure he will deny that he stole the money. Keep distance with those guys because for sure he can't be trusted for any amount.
That’s a clear act of hacking or scamming. Your brother might have trusted the wrong guy and will only end up stealing all his money in his own account. If you can still track the previous wallet transactions, then it’s good as you can get back the money being stolen, but I don’t think this is still possible as hackers leave without traceable transactions. Just be careful the next time your brother creates a wallet.
1209  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Overcome a Bear Market in Cryptocurrency on: August 28, 2022, 09:48:57 PM
1-accumilation  ( accumulation)

I should say that this would be the best thing to be done whenever the market do really have some deep reds instead on freaking out and whining around just because you've seen your
portfolio is crashing.It cant really be avoided but once you are experienced then you do know on what to do.

If you dont have money or funds to accumulate then it would be better to make yourself not to check out the market every now and then because if there's bear market
then it would be always have that recovery.
Bear market is definitely the best time for accumulation as the whole crypto market is experiencing a bearish trend and that every coin is in highly discounted price. That is why after a bull season, you should be able to reserve huge amount of funds so you can maximize your purchase when the bear season hits the market. That is being positive minded as you still aim for long term goal profiting, and not that you end up panicking and sell all your coins when the bear market is here.
1210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: August 26, 2022, 05:40:03 PM
I think it will be more entertaining to see if it's Zurdo vs Beterbiev fighting for an undisputed fight. But before that, I'd like to watch how would Bivol defend his belt here.

From my own point of view, either Dmitry Bivol or Zurdo Ramirez will be a good match for Beterbiev for the undisputed champion in the Light Heavyweight division and surely entertaining to watch. Both boxers have good credentials and lurking in this division for a long making them truly ripe to challenge Beterbiev.

But since there's politics as always in the business of boxing, I just wonder what if Bivol is able to defend his belt in this match.

Will Arum now finally open for a Beterbiev-Bivol fight?

It's not making sense not to have that fight between Beterbiev and Bivol push through when the latter is doing a winning streak defending his title.

Fortunately, yes, Bob Arum openly said that he's going to let Beterbiev have its chance to claim all 4 belts and fight whoever wins in the Bivol-Zurdo fight. I'm quite shocked about this news too because we know that Bob Arum doesn't grant this type of fight because he is protecting his boxer at all cost but maybe he realized that at this point Beterbiev needs to have his chance because he is already 37 years old.

Quote
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says he’ll give unified light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev to fight for the undisputed championship against the winner of the Dmitry Bivol vs. Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez fight.
Source

Yes, he did but I think Bob Arum said something about a certain condition if ever Bivol will successfully defend his title against Zurdo and that is he doesn't want Beterbiev and Bivol fighting on DAZN. I don't why but it seems to me that Bob Arum has other plans for this undisputed fight if ever it will be Bivol but if it's Zurdo then I guess there would be no conflict. Anyway, Beterbiev has another opponent that he needs to face and that is Yarde. So let's see their respective fights first because it seems there are more exciting fights in LHW this year.

About Beverley's relationship with the other Laker stars, I think they are professional enough to get pass through their past trash talks. Trash talk is part of the game and they understand that. Now that they are playing together, they can put aside their previous grievance in order to achieve their goal this season.

They should start working themselves together though because their chance to play in the Finals this season or at least in the playoffs will decrease gradually, I bet they don't want that especially now almost all of them in the roster is quite old enough to even consider retirement.

Right thing to do is to set aside their personal beefs and build chemistry instead. Also, I'm quite curious to know this coming season why Darvin Ham chose to keep WB and of course how would the Brooklyn Nets perform after all the drama.
1212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: August 26, 2022, 05:47:05 AM
Judging by the bookmakers' bets on this fight, Stevenson looks like a clear favorite and, as it seems to me objectively, he is 8 years younger than Conceicao, while they have the same experience in professional boxing, Stevenson is more technical and hardy, so Conceicao has very slim chances.

Yeah, I also check the odds and there are no chances, Stevenson is way ahead is sport bookies and there is no value bet on him on the ML odds. And Stevenson has all the tolls and advantage in this fight. I just want Robson though to give Shakur all he can take, Herring and Valdez I would say is a clear and dominant win by Shakur. So hopefully we will see him react is push comes to shove. Robson can do that similar to what he did against Oscar Valdez and almost won that fight.

We never know because upset is always around in every fight but we can't really forget the fact that Shakur has the most advantage in this fight over Robson, but the latter can still do whatever it takes to at least give Shakur a hard time so that this fight wouldn't look like to be a walk in the park for Shakur. The match will happen in less than a month from now, maybe the odds of Shakur winning by a KO/TKO might change in our favor.
1213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: August 25, 2022, 06:53:31 AM
Definitely a good tune up fight for  Loma just to clear things up on the issues about Loma ducking against Haney. Also, this would be a good preparation for Loma moving forward to the Haney fight to avoid any reasons if Haney wins because Loma has never stepped up in the boxing ring for quite some time.
Nevertheless, hope after their respective fight they'll finally face each other more prepared.
I don't think that Loma is ducking Haney, it was just that George Kambosos activated the rematch clause so there's nothing that Haney can do but to honor that. Besides, he has beaten Kambosos already so we might see him doing the same in the rematch.

And it's good for Loma to have a tune up fight first, maybe he is eager to comeback, but he should prepare for the bigger fight later. So Ortiz could be a test for him. This is also good for Ortiz as we might see how he fight and he will be exposed with his name.

Of course, after the rematch then maybe both can challenge each other for a big fight. Who knows, maybe it will happen this year and it will be one of the most anticipated fight. Loma vs Haney, it's hard to choose the winner but I have a feeling that Haney will be the favorite on the betting sites.
Seeing Loma and Haney in one ring would really be exciting though it will also be a big challenge for the both of them. Haney might really be the bettor favorite but I think Lomo would really show off his aggressiveness to beat down Haney. Loma vs Ortiz would be another opportunity for Loma to strengthen up his stamina in preparation for him to face Haney in the future.

Fighting Lomachenko in lightweight is an honor to any boxer in the same division and it will be fun as well to see Loma and Haney fighting, but these things are quite premature for now because there are other boxers as well who would like to face Haney including Tank but things has changed now as Loma is coming back. For now, let's watch their respective fights first and for this thread, I'll be siding with the veteran boxer, Lomachenko.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 25, 2022, 06:06:58 AM
He cannot make another excuse if he will lose in the rematch (this fight), he has to give everything he has in order to get back the belt and be declared as a champion again. He is the hope of the Philippines because we only have few champions, and if there's a Filipino champions, people are more eager to watch the fight which could create unity to the people.

In the recent article I have posted, it's clear that Ancajas is having difficulty maintaining his weight that's why they hired a new nutritionist to help him be in good shape for this rematch. The camp stated that because of how Ancajas struggles to catch the required weight, he becomes not 100% on the fight which should not be a reason why they end up losing.

We need to trust his team as no choice after all but to support him.

Supporting him is what the team needed to encourage him to continue working with his weight. That particular issue might bring problems with him, but the determination to win back and recover his belt should be a must. Ancajas needs to adjust and exceed from his limitations to take this rematch. He's a known fighter, and he needs to work it out. By any means, he needs to be there and try to beat Martinez with all the collective strategy that his camp collects and executes.

So this could be a similar situation with Casimero where he struggles to maintain his weight, well, if that's the case, and if he loses in this fight, he should think of moving up in weight and trying to start a new journey. I don't wanna make a quick judgment, it's necessary that we have to wait for the result of this fight, and for now, we have to support his decision of a rematch.

He could if that's truly the issue here but let's give Ancajas a second chance to redeem his IBF title belt because he was surely blinded by what happened in their first encounter as he can't really read Martinez's movements at all because the latter was not the one he prepared for months. Let's see for now if there's some difference because this time Ancajas is now sure that he'll be fighting Martinez.
1215  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What your ideas about bitcoin adoption in the future? on: August 24, 2022, 09:30:10 PM
Here in my country bitcoin is not a legal tender, but I know that some of you may have used it as a means of payment for goods or services. As for new ideas, I think of a few but the fact doesn't directly allow me to legally adopt them as doing so would be against the law. How about you, do you have any good ideas for future bitcoin adoption?

Bitcoin doesn't have to be legalized in your country to own Bitcoin, and that's why we have the peer2peer market where people living in an area where Bitcoin is prohibited could easily connect with each other to exchange Bitcoin for Fiat money. All you have to do is look for a exchange which supports your country, of which "Binance" and "LocalBitcoin" are my recommendable exchange that supports most countries but don't know for yours. Because just like Nigeria whose government is against Bitcoin and yet Nigeria happens to be the top list in terms of Bitcoin trading volume all around the world. Because all that could only be made possible through the use of the peer2peer market.
Bitcoin is not also widely adopted in my own country but our government do not also put strict prohibition on it. So the people here still manage to do safe transactions with bitcoin because we have local exchanges that accept bitcoin. For now, bitcoin is just as good as more of an investment, but you can also use bitcoin in buying goods and services but in only selected stores as bitcoin is still not totally legalized in my country.
1216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 24, 2022, 06:56:14 PM
Can't even imagine Canelo weighing 200 pounds just to get a fight with some boxers in cruiserweight, for sure he'd struggle more than he could imagine because guys there are much more natural compared to him who's just jacked up just to get the weight. I agree that 160 lbs. and 168 lbs. are much more suitable for him, he got to maintain his status in that division because there will be boxers in the future who will try to get one of his belts.
I also consider that 160-170 pounds is the most appropriate for Canelo, I think that more weight for Canelo could not have the same effect, since he does not dominate that weight, and even though his punches would be very accurate, I think that the other boxers would have more opportunity than him, this is something that is very relevant in terms of the mood, any boxer would want to have a match with him to defeat him, this is something that should not be denied and it is not because Canelo is losing his ability, but because there are boxers who I see that they are more hungry to win and more hungry for victories, Canelo is imperative that he start winning fights.

Middleweight and super-middleweight is I think the right division for him because it is his comfortable weight and he won't have a hard time like he experienced recently against Bivol in light-heavyweight. Although I understand his camp because they are just trying to test the waters if Canelo can indeed be a champion in light-heavy as he managed to defeat Kovalev in the same division, Canelo was just lucky though because he could be KO'd if he go against Beterbiev who has a pretty record with a KO streak.
1217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 24, 2022, 06:32:36 PM

Yes, probably he'll retire in Lakers but that ain't sure as of now because he also said that he would follow his son to whichever team Bronny will fall. The good thing about Lebron is that he doesn't really rely on his talent alone because he knew that it wouldn't make him what he is today if he will just rely on his talent all the way, he added some extra recipe for him to be great and that is the dedication and hard work.

Maybe Lakers will bring Bronny to the team in respect to LeBron, not sure though what future will be for this father and Son journey

but it's something that NBA can treasure if both will be playing in one uniform and share talents inside the court. With the look of LeBron's

shape. He is still capable of playing for more than 2-years unless major injuries will happen before that, but if there's nothing as we know him

playing, he is good at taking good care of his health, so the chance is really possible.

That is if Bronny will fall into the Lakers hand if he'll get drafted by next year, but the Lebron and the management knows that there's a just a little probability that they could host the father and son wearing their jersey. In fact, Lebron won't have a hard time transferring to any other team in the league as any team in the NBA will be much happy to get Lebron and Bronny in their franchise and be part of the first time in history that there will be a father and son playing together professionally.
1218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: August 24, 2022, 05:53:04 PM
The odds speaks it all. This isn't really an exciting match. Although an upset is always a possibility in the sport of boxing, I cannot see how Conceicao would manage to defeat Shakur. Robson doesn't have the power to easily knockout Shakur. He doesn't have that strong haymaker that could suddenly turn the tide in his favor. Stevenson on the other hand is very much at his career's peak, very young and quick. And although he isn't a knockout artist either, he could easily outpoint Robson.

The best that Conceicao can do is drag the fight and score as many points as possible, though I don't think he can outlast Stevenson or even read his moves given the speed of his opponent. Nevertheless this is a good stepping stone for Robson to train himself against a fighter that is much better than him in most aspects. No disrespect to Conceicao but I don't see him doing something to shook Stevenson even in the slightest. He can always give his best but we all know that this would never be enough, unless a miracle shines through and favors Robson on this matchup.

Even if Robson tries to drag the fight, it will not make some difference as it won't increase his chances to win against Shakur. Instead, Robson may try to use his height and reach advantage to make some room from getting punches from the agile Shakur so that the score won't be that much far but that again won't give him his chance to win. Nevertheless, I'd say that this will be in-favor of Shakur even if the fight hasn't happen yet.

When I login to my trading App (Exchange), I do see an option for future trade and when try to give it a try, I will see a notification reading "Future trade can be very risky".
Is it advisable as a new trader to engage in future trade?
This is not something that I would advise to a new trader, while it is natural that people want to trade and earn money with their skill, futures trading is extremely difficult and the chances you will lose all your money is very high, so what to do? You need to start slow, if you want to trade then just spot trade for at least a year, and then once you have confirmed you have what it is necessary to become a good trader you could consider this question again, but even then I would think it would be too soon.
Never rush things to happen just because you see opportunities to make profits. Opportunities are everywhere, but it takes proper mindset and right timing to make it successful in the end. For now, focus on building your skills in trading, eventually you will become a better trader until you considered yourself a pro in it. That's when the time you start engaging in future trade as it will be easier for you if you are already prepared about it.
1220  Economy / Economics / Re: Entrepreneurship and women on: August 23, 2022, 11:10:00 PM
in every country different rules that the government applies to women but for my own country there are none, so that between women and men have the same rights and there are no special rules, and the impact of the equal rights can be said 35% of macro businesses have been carried out by a woman and most women running micro-enterprises it is 40-45% higher, but basically in business and work men dominate because 70% of women in my country prefer to be housewives
this is my personal opinion by looking at the environment around me

Even today women are given more rights than men. As long as they have the ability and ability to take on the responsibility, they can do anything that we men can do.

The topic of equality, in my opinion, no longer seems to be a matter that is discussed by many people these days, as it used to. Women can do politics and men can become housewives if that is their preference and desire.
The equality between men and women is no longer an issue and is even accepted by most of men nowadays. In fact, if you have a responsible and business minded partner in life, that would mean another advantage because you will grow and prosper together faster than you could imagine. So at least you should also show support to your woman because being an entrepreneur also means risk and brings failure once there is no proven strategies to be used.
