1501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA _ Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks - 2nd round on: May 05, 2022, 02:08:17 PM

That's good to hear.  Grin

Let's get the good discussion going here, Warriors vs Memphis, this is a good series and Ja Morant is just showing he can trash talk the entire warriors roster. By the way Dillion Brooks out in game 3?
This must be a good match in the other side cause we all know these two teams are stronger in their bracket and for sure both team will play better. Maybe the Memphis has a good and veteran star player but we can not predict that they will be the champ because we all know that warriors is not just easy to beat.

I think this is not the thread to discuss the warriors vs Memphis, they have their own thread.
Here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5396736.0

this is a Suns vs Mavericks thread.



By the way, Game 3 odds, Dallas is pk or+1.
Easy for Suns if they'll continue to dominate IMO.

Zion Williamson came out today and said he was cleared to play and could have suited up in the Pelicans last game. He said his plan was to wait until game 7 to return so he could help them get to the next round and surprise everyone. Seems like a pretty juvenile plan that didn’t work out for him. Not to mention his teammates have to be pissed off that he could have helped them in game 6, but wanted to come back in dramatic fashion to be the hero that got them to the next round. Hopefully he can stay healthy this off-season so we can see him play again. He was exciting to watch, but I don’t think his career will be a long one.
And hopefully he could trim that weight to avoid more complications in his body specially the lower part. If he was there, there's a good chance they might end up in Game 7 but I doubt the Suns will just give it up, it will also be the time Booker will be at full health without minute restrictions.

Not much of an entertaining games today as both didn't end in a close game. 76ers blownout and so is the Mavericks. Could not feel the 2nd round in this teams unlike the other pair. Warriors vs Grizzlies. I am always looking forward to their games in a close match banging at each other to get a score.  Cheesy The real intensity of a playoff game.

Homecourt advantage gives both winning teams a great confidence by beating their rival teams.

It was a close one with Mavs and Suns before the last quarter, but when CP3 start to attack that the time the separation
happened, almost perfect for Paul, and when he got rested, it's Booker who makes those 3's no more answer with the Mavs
Luka can't handle the aggressiveness of the defenders who's protecting him.

CP3 was really the game changer, that's what people call him "POINT GOD" because of his extreme talent being a point guard. Suns are moving the ball very well, everyone is playing defense and contribute on the offensive side as well, and it seems like Booker is fully healthy now.
1503  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what's the ethereum killer ... on: May 04, 2022, 11:38:57 PM
Simply no one! The reasons are very simple! ETH is enjoying the "first mover advantage" as they are the first ever cryptocurrency to have smart contract facility. We are definitely seeing multiple clone of it but none was able to take over ETH.

Also Vitalik is an active developer who tries to do better for ETH. Since the users are facing high fees and also some environmental concerns around its mining, he is moving it to POS algorithm. It's not an easy task but the people know that at least someone is listening to them. For these reasons, I don't see ETH will be taken over by any other coin anytime soon!
Despite of the highly gas fees for ethereum, i guess its not enough reason to shift into another platform. Ethereum has been the million's trusted smart contract, and a lot of big projects are still using it despite of its unresolved issues, so that makes ethereum these days are still the most established. Although a lot of clones that are offering more convenient and affordable services, but let's face the fact that ethereum is always ahead of them and that no one can beat it even with the recent launched platforms.
1504  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge Future after Elon Musk Buy Twitter ? on: May 04, 2022, 11:09:41 PM
Oh yeah, we all love all this speculation as far as Doge concern because of Elon Musk. Long term it might be good, but we are still not sure what will be the effect. Maybe investor are going to buy Doge again and automatically increase it price because they speculate that Elon will use Doge as tipping scheme for Twitter. Again, the future might look bright for Doge but it doesn't mean that it will enjoy a parabolic rise. It will continue to stay in the market though.
All these speculations are already expected but we don't know how far these speculations will go in the future. Dogecoin might be hyped again having Elon around it but let's also think that as much as dogecoin's value increases, i guess bitcoin too will also increase that time. So the whole crypto market will still be positive though as they are dominated by bitcoin. But not so sure if dogecoin will always stay in high value, because once the hype is over, i guess that also ends the bright future of dogecoin.

Number 6 is not something everyone and everybody here should do if you are a supporter and investor of Cryptocurrency you've read and heard it thousands of times before not your key, not your coins this is the first thing that investors should learn and he should keep it in his heart, it's not that you can't trust others but you are a bank and you have to keep your coins safe all the time and keeping that secret is the only key.
Keeping your private keys is like keeping your lifetime secret as it will remain safe always if you leave it the way it is. After all the efforts and hardwork we endure just to come up with success and earn good amount of bitcoin, the first and last thing we should do is to be responsible with our own wallet by keeping it safe and secured at all times. And yeah, not your keys, not your coins, so always be careful not to disclose it even the best of your friends.
1506  Other / Meta / Re: Advertising and shilling on Bitcointalk on: May 04, 2022, 09:36:14 PM
The goal was to find out if crypto media outlets are interested in paying to have their brand and articles mentioned and discussed on Bitcointalk. Of all the emails I sent and forms I filled out, 7 sites showed an interest in working with me (unfortunately, I deleted one of those emails before I could take a screenshot of it), they wanted to discuss the pricing, and services offered by my fake advertisement team.
Of course we wouldn't be surprised by the results you get from that survey because site owners know that their web traffic will greatly increase when ads about their site or article are shared in places with a higher reading interest base like bitcointalk. Those who are willing to pay are those who know what benefit they will get from hiring the shill. However since this forum doesn't allow shill activity, the war drums will start beating and I'm sure there will be more and more reports about them to the moderators.
Shilling may be a good thing for those site owners who are desperate to make profits but here in bitcointalk, shilling should always be avoided, otherwise you will be reported and may be banned. But staying long here in the forum, i have come to witness a lot of members still do shilling their own coins, no wonder why others took the risk because they also make money from it. But if you want to make your stay in the forum more profitable and valuable, learn to avoid those things that can only give you demerits as it will only make your account suffer in the future.
1507  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The Easiest Way For New Traders To Profit From The Crypto Market on: May 04, 2022, 07:41:05 PM
That's a copy trading etoro promotional article if I'm not mistaken. That is one way to earn money through trading by copying trades from professional traders. However, it is not a permanent solution for traders, especially new traders who, in my opinion, should experience direct trading. If new traders depend on copy trading how will he survive if he enters the market directly where copy trading can no longer provide profits.
There is no wrong if you based your own trading strategies out from those proven strategies by professional traders. But completely relying on it through copy trading, i think that will never work all the time. You have to build your own strategy that perfectly suit on your trader's personality, and not copy strategies from others that may only be proven to work only for them. Though it may make your trading very easy, but always remember there is no single strategy that will work for all of the traders.
1508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I lost my bitcoin on: May 04, 2022, 07:14:51 PM
I've got a feeling that you never owned any bitcoin to begin with, considering you claim that you have met a completely random person on a "hookup app" and they created everything for you including your bitcoin wallet!
You may only had a watch-only address that contained some bitcoins that didn't belong to you (you didn't have the key to from the start).
In short, you were totally scammed by John. The fact that he has convinced you to invest and let him do all those stuffs then you are giving him the full permission to scam you having you unaware. I don't think you can still retrieve whatever you have bitcoins your wallet, because as far as i know you don't really have real bitcoins from the start. Everything was well planned with John.
1509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins That Go Up When Whole Crypto Market Goes Down? on: May 03, 2022, 11:27:49 PM
So btc prices and likewise altcoin prices has been going down.  As many notice altcoins follow btc directly pretty much.  But when you check on coinmarketcap, they always have a list of top


Trending
Biggest Earners
Recently Added



You can also see which coins are the biggest losers as well within the last 24 hour.



Now if the altcoin is like top 100 altcoin, it will pretty much follow how btc is going.  



But what about these altcoins like Silva Token, Doge Riseup, Nurifootball etc.




First off, how do you even find out about these coins?


Second, what exchanges can you even find these coins?  It seems almost all these altcoins are related to ETH.  Does it involved pancakeswap/metamask and things like that?   Is it easy to learn?


Third, these coins don't have any correlation to btc?  


Most all alts are tied to bitcoin.  Bitcoin bulls so does alts, bitcoin bears so does alts.  In terms of where do you find these, there is no steadfast rule.  Social media outlets you can find lots of info, but there is a ton of crud you have to soft through to grt to anything decent.  Most of it is just scams
Everything that is against the market will always look suspicious and end up scams. As there are a lot of shitcoins and meme coins that are hyped and become profitable even when the rest of the crypto coins are dropping. So we must take caution everytime we find new coins interesting to invest as they may end up being hyped and scams, and lose totally all what we have.
1510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Afraid to buy Bitcoin in its bearish state? on: May 03, 2022, 10:55:12 PM
Quote
There is no way of knowing what will trigger a Bitcoin bull run, but a Glassnode report on April 18 has spotted “a large amount of coin supply” hovering between $38,000 and $45,000. For traders who believe that BTC will hit $50,000 in July, there is a low-risk options strategy that can be used to launch a long bullish bet.


It is understandable that people tend to follow the most active entities in the world of Trading since having experience in this area people place their trust in them, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency full of possibilities, that is why it is so volatile that it's up today. and low tomorrow, but many investors usually see the movements of these and could even predict the future of this (not entirely true but they are close). What I mean by this? Basically this cryptocurrency is not going through its best moment since it is even said that it will oscillate between $25k, this is where I highlight my comment “Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency full of possibilities” since for some investors this will be the key point and the moment exact to invest in this and see it as a long-term investment since it will have to rise due to its volatility and good profits will be generated, it is a matter of time for this to happen. Don't you think it's a good way to take advantage of the bearish state of said cryptocurrency?
Information extracted from:https://es.cointelegraph.com/news/afraid-to-buy-the-dip-bitcoin-options-provide-a-safer-way-to-go-long-from-38k
If you want to generate profits in bullish season, then always start buying when bitcoin value is low. That is the best way to maximize your profits when you see bitcoin price already surging. The fact the bitcoin will always appreciate its value, buying at its bearish season and hold it for long term will be a wise thing to do for a smart investor.

Often times here, some new forum users have been unable to develop consistency in their contributions here mainly as a result of frustration. They abandon their accounts here before they can get their footing and become an important contributor to various discussions, how sad Embarrassed...and how we other forum users have missed out on another maybe perhaps golden perspective.

This is a wake up call to newbies especially, and all those who are considering quitting forum.

-Your opinions are valid and we want you to stay. Big things always start small, don't get discouraged because there seems to be no attention on your post and no merits given regardless of your activity.

-Even if your contribution get deleted and you get criticism for your point of view, don't get discouraged, work on yourself to be better, but still remain yourself.

-If it is taking you very long to increase in ranks and you almost feel like it will not be possible anytime soon, don't get discouraged, you will get there.

It is okay to take some time off, but please do not cut us off from your perhaps golden contribution.
Everyone in the forum started from a scratch before they have reached their high positions and earned good number of merits. And i guess if you want to succeed in your goal, you should always be ready to experience its tough times before you can reach its peak. This is a good reflection for newbies as they tend to quit easily whenever they experience losses or do mistakes in the forum. Committing mistakes is normal, but what makes its abnormal is that if you tend to make the same mistakes again and again without learning from all of those.
1512  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: cryptocurrency trading courses on: May 03, 2022, 09:59:45 PM
i'm looking for a good trading course. i found some good ones on udemy based on reviews but im not quite sure if they are actually worth it. i dont know how to value them. i want to learn trading from A to Z step by step without jumping here and there on youtube. ive been doing quite till now but i feel i have knowledge gaps. if u can please link me to some nice courses i'll be thankfull.
You will never learn the whole thing about trading if you focus only to a single course. Of course, Udemy will be a good start but do not expect that you will learn everything in trading from there. Trading is learned with a long process so it may take a lot of time, and the learning will only be effective if you start experiencing in trading. But before that, start with free demos online so you will have an idea about the real scenario in trading and from there you can start your own first hand experience.
1513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ever heard of this "buy at dip and be rich in the future" on: May 02, 2022, 11:11:30 PM
I did it all month of April. although do not know where the lowest point. I bought AXS, I bought Sol, ftm, luna, bitcoin, avax, all coins that I think have great potential and prices are falling. but today i started to doubt, what i did was right?
after I observed my assets were down quite a lot and it was enough for me to have trouble. I want to ask what did I do wrong? Or is this the right decision?
You should have researched more and make a good analysis before buying all those coins. Except for bitcoin because its always the best asset in crypto. But for most of the coins you have bought, i guess you let other people influenced you and from it, you made a wrong decision following them. You're acting like a newbie when in fact you should be wiser than them. I guess as long as you will never sell them in low prices, that way you will never resort into losses.
1514  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A single trading tool is not enough on: May 02, 2022, 09:33:42 PM
Do not forget about reading news. They can be useful indicators too for specific cryptos that you're holding or trading, they set a sign if there's going to be a shorting or if someone has to see that it should set a bullish pattern. Well, nothing beats having multiple tools and indicators in checking out the market.
But for those that don't like to look at the charts or don't know how to do it, there are still other ways just as I've said.
News are always vital in determining the direction of a coin, so it should always be given priority too. However, if you have multiple tools and indicators, that will always give you an edge, but always remember that those are not guarantees to be profitable in trading, having one or two trading indicators are fine as long as they make a huge impact on the movement of the coins in the market.
1515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers - 2nd round (Let's discuss) on: April 29, 2022, 11:43:47 AM
So far, there's no underdog that have won in the 1st round, so let's see if there's an underdog that will win in the secord round.

They have even the 4 games this season so far, so this team really are competitive with each other.
However, let us consider the factor that Harden just recently traded to the Sixers, and I think Harden has not played a single game against the Heat in the regular season as a Sixer.
1516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Davis vs Romero: May 28 on: April 29, 2022, 10:33:42 AM
^ He has a good chance to score a knock out as long as his hands are not to get broken again as compare to his last fight that's why he didn't score a knockout.

But you have to give Romero some respect of bad mouthing the champion, big balls and hope he can back his trash talk in the ring and not just fight to survived and get his biggest paycheck.

That is usually the case though, up and coming fighters wanted to trash talk the champion in order to generate a fight. I think Floyd Mayweather thinks that Romero is special that's why he is willing to have him fight Tank Davis.

So we will see come fight not, yes he has the balls, but we are not sure if he can back it up and make the fight very entertaining at least.

Floyd Mayweather knows how to run his business, even at the time when he was still a boxer, he is already good at promoting the fight, now that he is a promoter, that is easy for him. Floyd would love his boxer to remain undefeated, but at the same time to generate money in a fight and I think Romero is a good match to generate a decent money.
1517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 29, 2022, 10:07:44 AM
^^ Those games are really interesting and it's going hard to predict.

I love the Suns vs Dallas, will be interesting how the Suns is going to stop Luka with Bridges and Jae Crowder having that task.

And then CP3 against Brunson, of course CP3 will have the advantage but I think Brunson will excel in this series.

The good thing with the Mavericks now is that they have proven that they are not just a one-man team, when Luka was out, everyone was stepping up and they beat the Jazz on some games. Though I believe that the Suns have the edge here, but I won't discount the capability of the Mavericks of beating the Suns as they are a good team for sure.
1518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: April 29, 2022, 07:52:55 AM
I think regardless of the outcome of this match, he has to retire already. I mean, if he wants to retire as a champion and he is lucky to beat Inoue, then that's it because there's no other best boxer in that division than Inoue. However, if he loss and think of bouncing back, I think it's not a good idea since it will take time to have a chance to fight Inoue which he is not getting any younger anymore.
I do agree, it's time for Inoue to retire because he has been in many wars already, brings glory to him and his family and to the Philippines. Maybe this is one challenge that he need to take as a boxer before hanging his gloves. And it ever he wins, there are a lot of young fighters that will come after him and we don't want to see him getting brutally knock out at the end of his career. He can passed the torched to many Filipino fighters, he has done his share, him and Manny Pacquaio.

It is always sad seeing old fighters especially the legends being beaten by the up and coming young fighters. Most especially those fighters you think will definitely lose to those legends prime years. Donaire losing to Magdaleno? There's no way a prime Donaire would lost to that young gun. Inoue would've been an underdog against prime Donaire. There are a lot of examples from Rosendo Alvarez to heavyweight's Evander Holyfield. It is either money problems which prompted them to fight like Antonio Tarver or simply they just cannot easily moved on that they are too old for this hurting game like Roy Jones Jr.

@Dave1, I think there's a type error, do you mean Donaire would retire?
Inoue will not retire because he is only in his prime years, and he will definitely achieve more, this fight favors him so much because it's a unification fight and Inoue had already beat Donaire in their first meeting. Though I like to see Donaire win this fight, but man, I cannot be bias as I know how good Inoue is.
1519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 29, 2022, 07:20:37 AM
Anyone got the Sixers at handicap? Not sure what is the spread but it seems that they are going to cover it as their lead balloon to more than 20 points.

Damn, Raptors losing steam in the 3rd and 4th quarter, I was thinking on betting on them at live, but it's good idea to stay away from this game.

The pregame spread was only -1 for the Sixers, they are a slight favorite because the Raptors beat them twice in a row already. Even in the live betting, you will still get a good odds because they completely dominated the game.
1520  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders paradise on: April 28, 2022, 11:39:26 PM
Before I started cryptocurrency trading I have always hard this friend who is a pro cryptocurrency trader and have always shown me his profits but never told me how long he has been into cryptocurrency trading,
(.......)
It's very normal. Especially influencers who are just collecting some referrals to some people.
You should be aware if you want to start trading, you should identify your goal, you should not say you are only trading because someone told you or for easy money, you should expect some negative too, trading can make you bankrupt too.
Maybe its his own way of influencing you, by focusing more on success, the reason why you end up being influenced. But if you decide to enter into a new endeavor, make sure to anticipate all its positive and negative aspects. There could never be success without failure at first, and there could never be wins without losses. Now, you already know what trading is all about, that its never an easy job, but if you always look the positivity on it, i think success will come to you in the end.
