If you've just bought bitcoin on January 15 when you've made and asked through this thread, you're already in profit. Price back then was $20k and price currently is $23k and trying to hit $24k any time now.

Those that have worries upon buying now or so. You should just take action and be accountable to your own decision so that you're the only one that's going to look at the lesson and the profit that you'll get.
Whether it was buying or selling, it was our own decision, nobody have urge us what to do otherwise, it was manipulation.
If someone will sell their Bitcoin at this time, I don't stop them either. Perhaps, it was their decision and as long as they gain profit from that, then it was okay. We also have to understand the market situation and the personality of the investors  because some of them are short-term holders, they will sell if they are satisfied with the price and also buy if they have the chance.

That's important win for lakers since they will go to number 6 in the seed but damn things happen, that's why I understand why Lebron act like that because this is really a huge upset decision made by the officials in the court.
They understand that it's a tough game but they are capable of beating the Boston Celtics. It's not good seeing that the Lakers felt they are cheated in that game, you know, they are in one league so it's really hard seeing that one organization is not happy with the officiating. That's why nowadays, we have lots of players who would look at the refs for a non call because they know there's a contact. Refs are just humans, they make mistakes too and this controversial will surely pass.  

Nba should do an investigation about this and suspend those officials since this is crucial game which need to take their full attention but they neglect and cost huge for a team.
They have to, and let's just wait for the result of investigation if there's any.

In terms of Converged, they almost lose that game, just so happened that Mags import missed that shot and let Converged to survive and take their win, Congrats to everyone who takes both bookies favorite.

The last shot was well defended, although the import had the height advantage he was a bit bothered taking that last shot. IMO, it's not a high percentage shot, they could just go for an OT by driving the ball, who knows, if it hits they might also get a foul, so that could result to a win if they will hit the free throw.
Game decision is very crucial and with this, the whole team of Magnolia failed simply because Converge are doing great with their defense, they should not blame their import though because they need to have a better plays. Well, this is just their first game and I'm sure they can still adjust. Good for converge to be on a lead early this conference, let's see if they can sustain that because I'm started to rooting with them.
Yes, they need to be consistent, beating the Magnolia Hotshots is a great statement that they are a strong team this conference. Their defense is really great because Magnolia is also a good defensive team. I'm pretty sure Magnolia will bounce back in their next game, so I'll be waiting for the betting odds for that and will automatically put my bet on them.

Their next game will be this Feb 3 against TNT, we should see a great betting odds for Magnolia.
1044  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we now on Crypto bull run? on: January 27, 2023, 09:57:55 AM
Now, I think the market is starting a new cycle. I mean the market is in a recovery state - staying motivated and creating great potential for a bull run. The timing and process is very similar to 2019, the more optimistic signals have returned to bitcoin itself - the only strong driver for the market to break out of the bear phase.

The market has started a momentum, how long this momentum will last remains to be seen. As the market has suddenly pumped up, there could be a major correction here. The market may decide within a few days whether Bitcoin is completely out of the bear phase.

Bitcoin is still at strong resistance and there is a possibility of a bear trap. But for long term investors like me in Bitcoin, this short term change doesn't matter.
We believe that Bitcoin will recover from the dip. Might it not will happen this year but it never gives us a reason to lose hope as well. Yes, we can't sure about the current situation and how long it will stay like this. We're never sure as well if it is a trap or not but whatever it is, I can still see that investors are excited about what will happen in the future after seeing the current market condition. Perhaps, it gives some courage and optimism to the holders that what they did couldn't be in vain.

Others who lost will be ranting, not reflecting on those losses, and not understanding why they lost. Mostly at first, we are really into winning and we forget our losses, but later on, that is where we learn the most valuable lesson: to see what the problem is and why you lost that trade. Also, having a good mental health is better because you can execute trades without being affected by your emotions, unlike others who let their emotions kick in and get greedy.
Mostly it happens that they blame the market, not themselves. A thing that they need to change and have to open their eyes to find why it went wrong and why they have lost. Mistakes are not a thing to worried and to get angry with something or anything but a thing that we need to find a solution to not will happen again and again. I think we already know what will happen to us in trading. It is not necessary to become perfect but of course, it was not acceptable anymore to keep losing while we still have the chance to avoid them.

The game is tied if I'm not mistaken when he throw his mouth guard out of his frustrations for not getting the ball from Jordan Poole, and the shot selection that he had made or miss,  Grin.

Of course, Klay is really pump up when he is facing the Memphis Grizzlies and you can see his emotions after he made that big shot and looking at the bench of the Grizzlies. However, I don't like what Steph has showed in his team mates here, yes he is the superstar but he should acted like that as if he is blaming his team mates for the mistakes that he had made, not passing the ball to him.

I'm gonna be honest, I think he should have given the ball to Stephen Curry at that moment. Stephen Curry was hitting threes after threes. I am quite sure that he would have also made that count if he had got the chance. But obviously, that was not the way he should have acted.

But I think we should cut him some slack because he had been scoring greatly for his team. At that time he was also in motion. That was something that happened in the heat of the moment. I think he was punished enough for that by the referee in that match itself.

Sometimes players makes mistake, the good thing with Poole is that he was able to correct his mistake by making sure he made the game-winner. They'll eventually forget that since the bond was already there, and I was glad when I saw Curry hug him after the game, if he hadn't made that shot, I don't know but I believe Curry is a humble person despite his superstar status.

Spencer Dinwiddie just had to do it all, without the help of Luka Doncic, I also lost a players props' parlay due to the unfortunate incident, I didn't think much of it at first, honestly It didn't look serious and I felt he would return to the game at most at some point during the 2nd quarter, but I guess they chose to cautious due to nature of the game, and were still able secure the win.

Great game for him, he stepped up when it's necessary. Luka's early exit probably have chance the live betting spread, but it turns out it's just a trap after all as the Mavericks still won a game without Luka. I guess Dinwiddie needs to score at least 20 points per game to help Luka lessen the burden, because as what we've seen, we know he can do it.
1048  Economy / Economics / Re: Is renting an inevitable waste of money? on: January 26, 2023, 09:00:33 PM
I keep renting a house for several years but I have no problem with that, I can still pay for the rent. But of course, to have my own house is the most thing I wanted to happen someday. But I've seen that having a house, for now, is very expensive and it really needs more money and it found hard to get it. Then I think that if I have money I use it to put up a business first instead of buying a house. Might become a stupid decision for others but this is what I see in some businessmen, they prioritize having additional sources of income before building their own house which I think was the best option.
1049  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Aptos pumping ? on: January 26, 2023, 11:59:01 AM
It does not need to be a good project to get pumped because all coins can experience this, it can happen because the investor does it after waiting for a long time or also a group that always targets to pump a coin because it has hold it in advance and releases it at the right time to take profit, don't miss it because usually this is only temporary before the market goes in the opposite direction.
Hypes usually happen in a project that has been an influence on known personalities and much more if it was been promoted in social media.
In fact, I'd never see any reason why Aptos has been in this situation, it is probably because of manipulation happened. But you are right, things like this have only a short life, they drop again and even will collapse totally.

A thing like this is very risky to invest with, we have to exert caution when investing coins that are in pump especially if they are new projects and have no working products.
1050  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: shiba inu coin, now ranked 13th in cmc on: January 25, 2023, 12:49:20 PM
I would say it was great news for their investors who actually were hopeless after hearing the issue of FTX as they have the chance to sell them and earn some profit. But I don't think they can still afford to reinvest after securing their funds today. We might witness its huge pump these days but couldn't expect as well that it stays in this position and price increase. Because what I've thought about this time is the possible huge drop coming after the investors dump their Shiba Inu for another investment.
1051  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How Visible is your trading plan on: January 25, 2023, 12:28:42 PM
I used to write my trading plan down on a note paper when I newly started and would consult it when perplexed. This day the whole plan is at my finger tip, ingrained in my mind. All I've to do now is run a check when I get series of losses to ascertain if I'm still on course. As it's the case, a lot of trading plans fail during ranging markets but will do well during rallies (both in bull and bear).
As it was becoming habitual, it was easy for you to decide what you gonna do next. Being consistent with the plan is a big factor that could help us to earn more. A lot of traders lost their money not only because of being inconsistent but also because they fail to become mentally strong when making decisions during the market crash.

Trading is not all about trading plans but also it needs persistence and more patience. Having all of these things, therefore to say that trading is just an easy life for you then.
1052  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Nonito Donaire vs Jason Moloney on: January 25, 2023, 10:46:03 AM
Nice fight for both of the fighters.

I still root for Nonito Donaire to win despite him being the older fighter, well, some called him old already and has to retire from boxing, but I think he still has something to prove, he can make this opportunity to be a champion again before hanging those gloves.
1053  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 25, 2023, 09:54:04 AM
First game...
Blackwater Bossing 2.08
NLEX Road Warriors 1.70
The odds with Blackwater is attractive IMO.

Take note that the NLEX are now import-less because Simmons didn't fly to the PH and choose to stay with China (contract problems) that's why the Road Warriors now will play without an import and we know how imports are a factor to a team. If you are a bettor, you might take the risk and bet with the Bossing. Glover is a good import I guess and he's their import when they ended their record-breaking 29 game losing streak.

Just read this info now and you are right, without an import NLEX will be having trouble with the Bossings as import is more or less equal to the number 1 player of the team so this will give Blackwater an edge for this particular game. Just wonder why the odds still favor the Road Warriors though, may be the bookies don't know what is happening around lol.

That's the reason why Gilas Pilipinas chooses Brownlee to be naturalized because of his loyalty to the Gin's team and his commitment to the National team as well. He have received lucrative offers to play for China and Korea yet he chooses to stay in the Philippines.

NLEX has no import but they still won the game, that 4th quarter big run beat the Blackwater and NLEX won by 22 points. The last 3 games so far are one sided game, this time between the TNT and Fuel masters, I hope to see a close game. By the way, I put my bet on the underdog here.
1054  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is risky, be conscious on: January 24, 2023, 09:49:50 PM
TRADING is not a scheme to get rich quickly and one thing is that a person should be aware of all the things  regarding trading whether it is failure or achievement.

A person should realize that that will always be good as well as some harsh results but never give away because only mistakes are the way through which a person can get experience.  

A person can achieve beneficial outcomes if he become active and think more accurately for the buying and selling during appropriate times.
We must have learned a lesson from committing mistakes in such a way, we will grow old in terms of making decisions and old enough to get affected by the FUDs. It is to realize that trading is not an easy job that we need to underestimate or even to be confident that we are sure to make money. Because without the deep knowledge of trading and skills, I was very certain that we never reach our goal instead, only we got losses. That is why we should be careful what we do and must adapt to the situation.
1055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 24, 2023, 10:02:10 AM

As for the Lakers, it's a good move I guess since Nunn isn't making an impact with the whole team. Now the Lakers have a decent scorer and at the same time, a good wing defender as well. IMO, the Lakers won the trade unless those 3 second round picks will turn out to be better players in the future, but for now, it's a good move for the Lakers though I guess they need at least 1 more trade before the trade deadline.

Everyone was affirming it on social media today because they see that Nunn doesn't have anything to give when playing with the Lakers and he probably has some potential when he is on a different team. They maybe win this trade here and everyone is excited to see how Rui Hachimura fits in playing with LBJ and others. could this be the moment he is waiting for? where he can shine more and do his stuff to continue making a name for himself.

A good trade for the Lakers, a big wing man who can shoot the ball if chances are provided. I like this guy because he's also working
well with his defense, he can guard stars and he can provide good stop.

While with Nunn, I only like him when he still playing for the Heat. I was expecting him to bring when being traded, but unfortunately,
either he's injured or his playing time is not that much.

We will see the impact of both players once they start playing with their new teams.

Lakers are investing on the height of the players, they have bigs who can dominate, and with their current status now, they badly need a win to stay in the competition and have a chance to be in the playoffs. I'm guessing, maybe Davis will come back soon, so this team will be a championship team again.

Just compare their stats this season, it's easy to determine who has the better performance.

1056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: January 24, 2023, 09:20:56 AM
since Inoue had better recent performances and records, bookies will really consider him as the favorite.  Also, with the public perception that Inoue despite climbing  weight, will beat Fulton.

I'm not familiar with Fulton so I watched his previous fights and I can say he is also a good fighter and a perfect match for Inoue. Anyway, is there a final venue and date for this fight?

He is a good fighter against all those opponent he defeated that is NOT Inoue.
Fulton is pretty flashy, has a good speed, and head movements. However, his power punches does look like it's really lacking power.
Inoue also has exactly the same attributes, but he has way better punching power and boxing IQ level.
Judging on all their previous fights, I can easily tell, this is going to be an easy fight for Inoue.

Donaire was good, but you can tell the difference when we saw him fighting with Inoue. I mean, Inoue is just too talented that no boxer could ever match him, that's why we are expecting that despite him moving up in weight, he can still dominate the weigh class, and it will start by beating Fulton.
1057  Economy / Economics / Re: Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin? on: January 23, 2023, 09:45:22 PM

What is your advice?
Why not? But the first thing to do is to assess ourselves if we can really repay the debt if we have without relying on our investment profit. If we can, then there is no problem with that.

Because some people are too crazy taking loans without any backup sources of income. Bitcoin investment is profitable but we can't assure that every time we can have it knowing the market price is moving up and down. We must have to look for another sources that could help to pay for our loan otherwise, don't do it.

Memphis almost completed their big come back, they just fall short in the end.

Suns won only by 2 points after leading more than 20 points in the game, that's a good run by the Memphis, but they should have not allowed the Suns to dominate them in the 1st half, things could be easier for them and they might win.
1059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 23, 2023, 02:44:26 AM
Sacramento Kings are 3rd in Western Conference! Just let it sink in guys because this is a real achievement from a small team that have been working hard in silence for all this years and finally they are having a great season. This small club really deserves more as we see people are back in the court when team is playing and if we take a look 2 years ago on Sacramento games , we will have saw empty seats over empty seats but it's not the case anymore.

Even if they lost last night , they still scored 127 points without having a great defense game because hey , no one is playing defense anymore this season ...
Aside from the Pelicans which I think will be the "Dark Horse" of the league, the Kings are the ones who I didn't thought that will surprise me.

The Kings-Pacers trade that involved Sabonis and Haliburton is the first time that I see both teams benefitted from it. I mean often times, we always see trades where one team is obviously winning while the other one is losing. On this one, both teams benefitted and they are performing better than they was last season. Haliburton is leading the league right now in assists with 10.2 APG while on the other hand, Sabonis is the one who is leading in rebounds with 12.6 RPG. Both teams benefitted from the trade and now Sabonis and Haliburton are playing on their best season currently.

The Kings finally after the playoff drought has the change to enter the playoffs this season. With them at the 3rd spot, there is a high chance that they will enter. I just hope that they will perform the same or even better when the all-star game ends because I already saw some teams who played very well before the all-star game and ended up badly and performed awful after.

They will be in the playoffs but honestly it's a different story when they are in the playoffs. This team's lack of defense is not something I admire during the playoffs as we know how physical the game in the playoffs. They need to improve their defense first as that's their weakness based on my observation.

I like the ball movement, they are like a young Warriors, but the Warriors are a team who have a balance offense and defense.

Good start for Inoue, directly he proceeds to challenge the champion.

I guess this is the time that we will see a good betting odds for Inoue, because he is up against a champion, and if he will be the favorite, I believe he will only be a slight favorite. However, as a fan of Inoue who lives to bet on him getting great value, I'm hoping that he will be the underdog so a moneyline bet would be very attractive.
