Just because a coin is cheap and has liquidity because it is listed in an exchange doesn't mean it is a good investment option. You can find countless such tokens and coins in the market that have liquidity and a low price as well but they are barely traded by people in the market and because of this, they are nothing less than dead coins.
Yes, and it's like a guessing game as what coins will be successful just because they are listed and it's cheap. I remember way back 2018 after the bull run and everyone is still very happy at that time and many coins are listed and it really very profitable. But after that initial success, comes reality think as we are in the bear market around March-April and most of them have died a natural death. So one shouldn't just see that a cryptocurrency has a low price or a low market cap and also has enough liquidity and think they should invest in it. It is essential to do thorough research about a project before making any investments in it just to be safe from losses. Most of such projects are never going to give any returns but your money will get stuck just like that.
It's not the only one that we can used as indicator, certainly, it's could be one of the factor, but having low market cap could also means that the project is having a hard time getting investors on board and it might not give us a good returns even if we believed on it. |

As bookies are clearly having Inoue as the heavy favourite, if you do want to bet, find another betting line like what round will it end and how rather than bet on Inoue with 1.07 odds. Even the betting line of will the fight go the distance is just 1.14 at stake and so with others, so bookies are not expecting this fight to last.
There's a very slim chance that a boxer which Inoue would fight will last in the ring. Last time I saw Inoue had some trouble but was able to make an adjustment was with Donaire, but the rematch was too easy for him as Donaire got knocked out. Inoue just got better and better in every fight, so I think if Nery will remain aggressive, he would also suffer a devastating KO from Inoue, that body shot though. Any odds below 1.50 is not attractive to me, so I would just wait until the fight is very close so all the markets will be available, maybe Inoue winning by KO in just 1-3 rounds, it's sure gonna have a very attractive odds. It's already out, The over/under round is 6.5, I think that is a good round to begin with, they've at least given Nery 6 rounds to convince us if he will last or not against the power of Inoue. And the odds is 1.85, that is good enough and very appealing already. But for more risk taker out there, and I know a lot here might go with this, Nery, Luis By Decision 15.00. Huge odds if Nery can survived. Tapales almost did it as he gets into 10 rounds. So just a matter how strong Nery and if he can go full 12 rounds against the Monster. |

What do you think of this method?
Is there anyone among you who does it?
Give us one of your winning strategies, of course if that is possible.
Well it's a good plan until the pattern will break, I mean there's no way that you can always win in gambling, sometimes you can implement this strategy in any games, slot machine and card games and it's effective. Until one day you lose all your capital, so what will be the strategy then, deposit more or quit? Maybe if you can control yourself you can say that you will stop. But what if you can't control your emotions and deposit for more money and chase your loses because you believed that this strategy is bullet proof? So really very hard for any gamblers to stay focus on this strategy in my opinion. It's only good when you are winning, but once you experience string of losses, you might ditch this plan for good. you’ve got a point there. It’s true that sticking to a rigid strategy like doubling your money and then stopping can work well—until it doesn’t. Gambling, by its nature, involves a lot of unpredictability, and even the best plans can face a sudden streak of losses. It’s essential to have a backup plan or an exit strategy that isn’t just about chasing losses with more deposits. The key really is self-control. It’s about knowing when to walk away, whether you’re up or down. And it's harder that it looks, as others have said, you really need to have self-control and every time you double your money or at least close to doubling then exit right away if you are playing online, or go home if you are in a land base casinos. The only thing I see when playing in land base casinos specially if you have just arrived and then won already is that maybe it's hard to head back to home because you are not yet enjoying. So just the same, when you don't know when to walk away or forget about this strategy of yours, then at the end you will lose. But maybe for some gamblers, this is going to be very effective method. But in the end, there could be some skeptical for every gamblers to try and test this one out. |

I'm sure majority of us are into AI, at least for me I have been trying to learn a lot of tools, like Mid Journey, Capcut, In-video, Leonardo AI, Elevenlabs, Runway and others. So when I say this reports, I was taken aback as how cyber criminals is also leveraging AI tools now to steal our crypto credentiasl as most of them are info stealer. The way it works is that this threat actor will take over a Facebook account, hack it specially those who have a lot of followers and then turn it into face site similar to the original AI tools. - Cybercrooks have taken over Facebook profiles to run sponsored malvertising campaigns impersonating Midjourney, Sora AI, DALL-E 3, Evoto, ChatGPT 5 and many others
- The malicious pages on Facebook are meticulously designed to trick users into downloading purportedly official desktop versions of popular AI software. The cybercriminals behind these campaigns regularly change and adapt the malicious payloads in an attempt to avoid further detection from security software
- The links direct users to malicious webpages that download a variety of intrusive stealers to harvest sensitive information from compromised systems, including credentials, autocomplete data, credit card information, and even crypto wallet information.
- The analyzed campaigns employ malicious ads that contain links to executable files that serve Rilide, Vidar, IceRAT, Nova Stealers. The entire batch of malicious software is often offered as malware-as-a-service by threat actors on specialized forums and channels.
- The malvertising campaigns have tremendous reach through Meta’s sponsored ad system and have actively been targeting European users from Germany, Poland, Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Romania, Sweden, and elsewhere.
- The ads use convincing descriptions alongside generated AI videos and photos to lure potential users into accessing malicious payloads
- One particular Facebook page impersonating Midjourney with a whopping 1.2 million followers was active for nearly a year until it was shut down on March 8, 2024. Since then threat actors have continuously set up more fraudulent pages to deliver malicious ads to users.
- The Midjourney malvertising ad campaign was directed towards male Facebook users aged 25 to 55 and had an ad reach of approximately 500,000 individuals from Europe (demographics and reach of the campaign were obtained by tracking Meta’s Ad Library catalog)
The malware included here and most of them have been reported already in this community, Rilide Stealer by @The Cryptovator Vidar by @Lafu Nova StealerAnd one of the well-known AI tools right now, Mid-Journey, had 1.2 million followers and reach of over 500,000 individuals in Europe before being taken down on March 8, this year.  https://www.bitdefender.com/blog/labs/ai-meets-next-gen-info-stealers-in-social-media-malvertising-campaigns/
I know others will say that we should go and look for the official page and check everything before downloading. But with the recent AI resurgence, including myself joining the picture and taking advantage of it for whatever purpose it may served to me, still there are dangers lurking in the dark specially for us crypto enthusiast and those trying to learn AI. |

We've said it before, it seems that Oscar is hell bend to have his revenge on Canelo for leaving him. And they are trying to make this as another storyline line for this fight. So that's how promoters, just like Top Rank Bob Arum's statement on his fighters and other boxers as well.
This is just for promotion.
It is ironic that Oscar holds so much resentment towards Canelo. When Oscar was a fighter, he had a falling out with his own promoter, Bob Arum, and had to take legal action to get out of his contract. When Richard Shaefer was running Golden Boy, Oscar also didn’t see a problem with fighters abandoning their promoters to pursue other opportunities. He was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Mayweather vs. Top Rank feud, which resulted in Golden Boy promoting most of Mayweather’s fights at the end of his career. It wasn’t until Haymon took much of his stable and later when Canelo left, that Oscar felt what it was like to be betrayed by his own fighters. Lest you forget, what they did to one of their supposedly partners, because as far as I remember, they have also Shane Mosley together with Bernard Hopkins as business partner of Oscar Dela Hoya in the early stage of Golden Boy. But they ditch Shane, after his contract with Golden Boy and then just gave him 5% stake in the company. So in any case, Oscar is also a snake and it's just maybe payback for him when Canelo left him and sure does if Ryan Garcia will also do that as they have already a history of falling out and even Ryan has filed lawsuits against Golden Boy. |

You have mentioned in the rules that edited posts will be disqualified, but you never mentioned if users can have more than 1 guess. Lots of users have 3+ guesses. None are correct, but 1 thing you gotta remember to do on this forum is explain everything otherwise people will try anything  This is what was said,
Sorry, but are we allowed to make just one guess ? Considering the range (10,000) I don't think that even someone will find it! What if each user get the right to make one guess per day or per week.. set the calendar at UTC time to keep the thing simple, for example each user allowed to place one guess per 24h.. between [00:00 and 23:59] ! But I do agree that it should be added to the original posts so that everyone will see it. |

On the other hand, I don't see that this kind of game will happen in the playoffs though where everything is just pure physicality.
This is what I was wondering. Maybe what happened in the Bucks vs Celtics is just a practice for the refs and we'll see a shift in the way they officiate the playoff games. Some teams who thrives on a fast-paced game will love this. I’m a little bit surprised to see the Celtics lock up Jrue Holiday for the next 4 years for 135 million dollars. I’m not sure how old Jrue is, but that seems like sort of a long deal for an older guy on a team that’s already got 2 young max players. I think the genius management over in Boston might be starting to make mistakes as they struggle to get Taytum a chip.
Yes, it's a big surprise to me as well, and there are fans who says that he is overrated. And I guess they see Derrick White leaving in free agency that's why they lock him for good. But his age though, we really don't know what will happen to him in the next 4 years. He will be like 37 years after this contract, and probably will retire after that. . Just look at Draymond Green who also had a four-year contract with the Warriors. I think Jrue Holiday's signing is worth it for the Celtics if we're going to compare to Draymond. I don't think that we can compare Dray's contract to the Warriors with that of Jrue Holiday. I mean we all know that Dray is the heart and soul of the Warriors and so no surprised that he has been offered a good contract and he chooses to stay even at his age. But with Holiday, he just been inserted this year and we can say that his point average has gone down this year. It's obvious that he is not their superstar as compare with the Bucks wherein he could be the second option. With the Celtics, they have Tatum and Brown and then KP. So it's either the Celtics will make him their main point guard moving forward and then letting go of Derrick White or Payton Pritchard. |

I will advise as many people as possible to always avoid the use of loan as an alternative means to make it in life or starting a business, such is a bad idea because many have been in debt at the cause and couldn't afford to repay back their loan, we have to learn the various means in which we can earn and save for for the future use, instead of taking loan, we may not be able to manage our debts if we are into it on a wrong approach.
Taking loan is never an option for me because I don't think I could use the fund well without being panic of how to pay for the fund. There are people that knows how to manage funds and they are very cool at that getting loan and using it to do business that would yield them more profits when used for investments purposes. Debt management is a very important one for anyone that would to monitor the way they spend and how they should track their spending which is going to give a full awareness on how to balance debt and expenses. If we know that we are not good at tracking our expenses then we need to try enough to follow the debt management. It's really hard if you dig yourself in loans and debt that you can't pay off. I guess one classic example is having multiple credit cards. And this is the worst as you can take advantage and pamper and think that it is the right way or you have justifications that you can buy anything you want and then pay later. However, when you max out even just 2 of them, most likely you will be in a huge pile of debt. And if you uses to pay just the minimum, then you have been trap by this banks. So as much as you can, closed everything out in a month or two. Hard lessons for me, as I'm on a debt reconstruction already and my goal is to pay them this year. |

This idea gave me the impression that some people can be very dangerous as a result of lossing money while gambling And i aslo learnt My lessons today . However, i Dont know If you have actually experienced such things At the betting shops And If yes How do you feel or react At the situation? .
The situation you described is common especially when gamblers are playing among themselves behind closed doors, though I've never been in such ugly situation. Sometimes, it's could get as bad as one stabbing the other gambler or inflicting life threatening injury on him. This is the reason I don't like street betting or physical casino because there's always the tendency of violence breaking out. For me, online gambling is the best. Or they are playing illegal and hiding it from the public. And so there is no one to control this gamblers and anything and so a simple disagreement could lead into a bigger argument and then what followed is violence. I think once or twice in my career as I gambler that I experience this kind of violence, and that is playing in the streets. But that was years ago, when I was still a kid and think that I can play and side hustle. But when I grow up, I just gambled on physical casinos and never go back to playing in the streets. Up until now though, I will hear voices and arguments in our neighbourhood about disagreement on a gambling table. |

Yes, but then what else is there to know about lump suming, except for what it means, let's use this opportunity to debunk this.
Investing a lump sum means that you don’t have to try to figure out the best time to make periodic investments, which is good. I realized that people tend to panic and sell off their holdings when they try to track the market, lump suming takes off the burden of monitoring the market for dips so that you can buy Bitcoin. "The price you pay for the investment(s) may be high or low. If you invest when prices are high, you run the risk of incurring a loss if you need to sell in the near term" to what extent is that true and practical.
IMO, DCA underperforms the lump sum strategy, If you assume that the assets you are investing in will increase in value over time (otherwise why invest right?), then it should be clear that buying now will be better than averaging in over 100 years. Waiting a century to get invested will not be kind to your purchasing power.
That is my opinion, but I'm open to clarification. I would also like your contribution @jayjuangee When it comes to bitcoin accummulation one don't need bother themselves in checking market price, that why DCA Is highly recommended when it comes to accumulating of bitcoin, because with the use of DCA you can Keep accumulating bitcoin at different price interval +either buying when the price is high or low) at any fixed time . While lump-summing is the sure opposite of DCA , because it doesn't require ones to break or divide his funds in different percentage before accumulating like that of DCAing. But lump-summing I'm the other hand is the process of going all in at once with a certain amount of money in buying bitcoin without spreading it. It usually help to give someone a nice headstart in his bitcoin accummulation . Yes, that's the beauty of DCA, or maybe some of us here are doing it already without knowing that they are using it as their strategy. And majority of us here are retail investors, meaning average joe, so we can start small. The thing with DCA is that we should be consistent, that is the key and have the mental toughness to accumulate week after week and then just watch your wallet grow. Another psychological element here is that you shouldn't tempted to sell, and should be looking at the long term prospect of your investment. So it will not be just months of saving, it should be at least a year, bear everything because in the end you will have a good ROI. |

Nery has only 1 loss and 0 draws and then this kind of record is one of the best professionally. Will Nery going to give Inoue with his first loss? We don't know but I agree to you that he should plan well and I think that with all of the matches that he's got, he's going to come prepared against Inoue and even with that, the monster will always be consistent with all of his stance and has always been careful with all of the matches that he's got and so with this upcoming one.
That's what Nery is preparing to do, in this article he was quoted saying that he did not consider Inoue an extraordinary fighter. Nery told BoxingScene in an interview through a Spanish translator. “But I've seen his fights and I think he's overrated. I think he's an ordinary fighter, or at least that's how it appears to me. I'm going there looking for the knockout. I'm not going to Japan looking for a decision. Luis Nery Calls Naoya Inoue ‘Overrated, Overconfident and OrdinaryAlthough the boxing community thinks differently he will find out on the fight night if he is an extraordinary or just an overrated fighter, I don't think Nery is the one who can deal with Inoue his first loss, he just doesn't have the skill and the power to do that, Marlon Tapales is stronger and skillfully than Nery that's my assessment, but let's see in the fight night. Everyone is very confident, and the closest that could have been Inoue is the Filipino Flash, Nonito Donaire. But Donaire is on the path of going down and losing his prime years already. And with that, I think a prime Donaire will beat anyone in 122 lbs not name Inoue. So as much as Nery think he even has equal chance to beat Inoue, this is like a "miracle" if he upset the Japanese monster. What I like to see is Casimero vs Nery, at least in my mind this is going to be a competitive fight as both are almost equal. But against Inoue they are not match with the Naoya, too fast and powerful. |

^^ Ok, but why make a separate press conference for this kind of non-sense from him? He can simply say that Usyk is not going to beat him as size matter. But still he put on a a tirade and attack those CW in history that lost to a good HW fighter. “We have weight divisions for a reason. When the cruiserweights step up to the big boys, they are usually found wanting. You can beat the average big ones, but you can’t beat the elite big ones because size really matters,” https://www.boxingscene.com/tyson-fury-cruiserweights-step-up-theyre-usually-found-wanting--182752In any case, he should prepared for this fight 100% because if he losses here, this whole press conference is just a bunch of rubbish. |

If what happens is not a nuclear war, then the price of Bitcoin will increase rapidly. IMO
That could be the worst case scenario in a war, each countries using their nuclear weapon and it will be bad for us. When there is a war in which no more than 6 countries participate, inflation is a very big risk, especially since the government blocks access to all banks in that country, so fiat currency will lose its value. People affected by war certainly need food and shelter, Bitcoin is one of the most perfect alternatives for saving money.
Bitcoin will survive even though the war lasts a long time, its influence is still strong as an economic force when the function of fiat starts to stall.
And that's what happen to WWII isn't it, but what will be the hedge during that time? It's the old and reliable, Gold. So the question is, can Bitcoin be the digital Gold that we all have been touting about? And it could be the savior for us, hedge after the war? So I guess there will effect on crypto whether negative or positive. Hopefully, we don't want to see this kind of scenario happening in our lifetime. |

It doesn't necessarily need to be a steady income, I could be a money that comes once in 3 months, 6 months or such intervals and you decide to divide that amount into parts and invest them on intervals instead of buying with all the amount at once, so yeah the idea of having a steady income leads to the fact that for DCA and accumulating bitcoin to give you the best results you have to be kind of steady and consistent in doing so, so some folks that haven't got a steady income can at times pause or stop due to their money getting exhausted and at times even us up their reserves if they have quite the appetite for buying bitcoin, and your emergency funds also has nothing in to do with steady income, its just like that savings we never touch and we build just to insure that we never sell our holdings based on misfortunes or emergencies and this should be up to 3 months of your expenses to be potent enough.
I might not be a regular poster here but with the little I have read in this thread it needs a steady income to be able to withstand the accumulation process. The 3 to 6 months you are talking about, looks like the lump sum method which may not work for every bitcoin investor. Gradually investing what you can afford is better than waiting to invest big. Sometimes the little investment you see as nothing will shuck you when you see the results after so many years of regular investment. And not every body is opptunesd to see money in bulk. We should be able to manage the little we have than expecting so much before investing. You should have been in beter position to know by now because you are one of a regular poster here as I have read you posts here. That is not entirely correct, you don't need steady income to starting investing in bitcoin. A contractor whose income does not flow regularly can still invest in bitcoin when he is able to execute a contract and make good funds. All he just need to do is to set aside part of any bulk payment he receives for investment in bitcoin while he use the remaining for his personal needs pending when he receives another payment from executing more jobs. Let's take for example, a contractor receives $50,000 as profit for a job he has done, he can decided to set aside as little as 10% which is $5,000 to be invested using weekly or monthly DCA. This way he could spread the investment in such a way that before he exhaust the funds completely, he would have received another cash inflow. Many people make the mistake of not investing in bitcoin because they want to have huge amount of money before they get started. Even people who could afford to invest $20 weekly without blinking an eye, just because they want it big they refused to invest. There was a time I was thinking that bitcoin investment is for the rich, many people are even still nurturing such wrong notion. It took me a while before realising that any income class can actually invest in bitcoin. Learning about the DCA method also helped a lot in making me see what I can achieve with little amount invested regularly in bitcoin. The thing about this whole investment in bitcoin is that the investor need to understand the context of consistency and what it can do because its exactly what pushes some great men out of the same league with people that are even having more than they have. When you are consistent with your holdings, you would be surprised the length you will go at the end of staying consistent with whatever you are doing. And that's where DCA will enter the picture, and it is what the experience trader here in our community will advise. And it's obvious, you don't need huge capital to begin with, and regardless of what is the price of Bitcoin, you can slowly accumulate and without you knowing, maybe in weeks or months you could have save a lot in your wallet. It's really effective though, used this method myself and I was really surprise how easy this strategy is as I have total control of how much money I will invest, meaning the old adage of "invest what you can afford" mantra. It will be mentally tough grinding weeks after weeks, but if you have a goal then you can get over that psychology and you will be amazed that you have invested x amount in x weeks already and your wallet is growing. |

Yes, the West are still very hotly contested and when we thought that a Lakers vs Warriors showdown could be happening, there are still some scenarios that will happen that will not make that event happen. So everyone should really try to win all the games remaining, and this could be the first season that we really appreciate what a play-in should be, teams fighting it out till the last game of the season. Only 1 games are separating this team, so most likely a 2 game winning streak will not be as bad. I know that you are a Warriors fans, and so it's good to see them back, the Klay and Curry hitting those 3's just like during their primes.
There’s a high chance that Lakers will be the opponent of GSW on the play in tournament since Kings has 3 remaining matches which is very manageable for them to win while Lakers have a scheduled match against Pelcs which is in need to win to secure their top 6 position while they have a very close standing before during their previous matches. I don’t want to see Lakers vs GSW on playin tournament but it seems that it’s destined to happened given how the remaining matches of teams 6th to 10th are all manageable to all of them which means they will just stay on their current position. I'm not opposed to seeing the Lakers and Warriors in the play-in tournament together. I think it would be cool to see another LeBron vs Steph matchup, although I don't think the Warriors have much of a chance against them. I'd also love to see them both in the playoffs, but think it's better for the sport if they matchup at some point. The Warriors dynasty is ending and LeBron's career isn't far behind. This might be the last time we see this LeBron vs Warriors dynasty matchup after so many good years of battling each other. Better to enjoy it while it's here. Yes, as much as we don't want to see either of them being eliminated this season, but it's what going to happen though, they are in the bottom, 9th and 10th, and with this new design, they will have to face each other and see who will be eliminated. It will be the classic, Steph vs Lebron here, although Lebron's team is totally different now, but still there is this competitive between this two players that we hope this game should be in a playoff series and not just a play-in game, do or die elimation. |

Switzerland is a first rate country and I believed that they are also one of the pioneers of having a cash less society. So I'm not going to be surprised to see them accepting Bitcoin as payment scheme.
As far as I remember, there was even a company there who wanted to used the excess energy from this food production to mine Bitcoin.
So this news shouldn't be amazed because they are every bit a crypto friendly nation.

And Oscar Dela Hoya continues to troll Canelo Alvarez with this poll,  https://twitter.com/AccordToBoxing/status/1777450073456267291I think this will be bad for Munguia if his promoter as going to wake up the animal in Canelo. Oscar even poses a picture with Benavidez if I'm not mistaken. But I think this is jus to test Canelo in like a psyche war. But then again it could backfire big time, IMHO. Of all the promoters Oscar is the one who loves to Troll because he is also a boxer he knows that psyche war could throw off a boxer from his game, so he is doing this strategy against Canelo, but Canelo has been through all this all his boxing career after Canelo beat the hell out of Munguia he will the one trolling Oscar. It's only a month to go before the fight and both fighters do not thrash-talk each other they have mutual respect with each other, but knowing Canelo and Munguia will put all their anger in the ring, so far only a few people believe that Munguia will have a chance against Canelo, but who knows Munguia is capable of pulling up an upset, we just never know. And most likely that's why Oscar step up with this trolling as both are Mexicans and respect each other. Oscar thinks of a way to ignite the fire in Canelo by going to social media. Of course it has reach on the camp of Canelo now and for sure they might feed the troll in Oscar and I think Oscar loves to see how the camp of Canelo will react as he still knows them by this day. Munguia though should not be affected by this kind of stunt by his promoter, he should focus and be motivated to beat Canelo and be the next biggest star, not just for Mexicans but the next PPV stars like Ryan Garcia. But the difference is that he has a belt in his waist and not all hype. |

Chances are many of them sold their Bitcoins when it went x10 or x100. I would say that chances are pretty high. I know two early adopters cases (close friend and friend of that friend) where they cashed out way too early, at around ~$200. They both got back in later but at the higher price and interestingly they are not bothered much with the fact they could have been millionaires now, which is a healthy attitude ofc. Yea, the chances are very high and I do not also blame them for selling early because as at then they were also in good profits. Imagine someone who bought at $0.45 and sold at $10, that's such a large margin of profits. During those times, just a few would believe that bitcoin will one day clutch $1,000. And if you look at the price, $0.04865->to current price, that is staggering, +141540150.95% as per CMC. But every bull run, we will here and saw old tweets of some early adopters that sold early and now regretting their decisions as they really be multi-millionaires. And how about the person who accidentally throw his computer with 8,000 BTC on it? They really didn't know how big Bitcoin could be in the future. |

As far as I know those celebrities who did play poker is a real gambler or has passion for the game itself. This celebrities has a ton of money to burn so I wouldn't be surprised if there were underground poker sessions for this celebrities to pass the time and play for real money and for the fun of it. So with that, I will say majority plays it to show their skills and then have the bragging rights of winning celebrity poker. And if life imitating art, we've seen a lot of movies that has poker as the main center of the story line. Like the movie Rounders.  |
