a mistake will provide a meaningful lesson, but when we start we don't have to be wrong first because there are many examples that can be used as lessons, namely from other people's mistakes. A bad start in the crypto ecosystem for beginners is a good start for learning. Beginners must go through the process if they want to reach a safe point.

But that only happens if that person corrects his mistake and finds a way not to happen again. Because what I see is that many people still don't do it, they just ignore their mistakes and do it repeatedly, and no wonder why they keep on losing. And much more not to expect success from them.
If we wanted to reach our goal, therefore, we also have to change our approach toward our mistakes and consider this as a helping tool to improve our status rather than just ignore them.

Of course they are impatient so they want to immediately enjoy the results of the project they have made, most developers take advantage of the ease of making projects so that they are very vulnerable to scams, and when the project looks enlarged and has good prospects, they are trying to cheat for example by adding stock.

True, however most of those so called developers have not really wrote a single line of code before they ask investors for millions of dollars, if they had a product or service ready when they ask for so much money I think I could understand such a petition, but this is not the case and yet investors still decided to invest a lot of money when the only thing the developers have at the time is a white paper and a website, and once they get their goal it is very easy for those developers to just disappear.

They are greedy and smart developers.
This has already happened several times and it is supposed we are aware of it but guess what, many are still falling into scam projects. This will tell us that scammers and greedy developers still winning from greedy and impatient investors. As long there are investors who have the kind of thinking (instant profit), we can really expect that the scam projects will come out and find a victim again and again.
- If we are thinking to benefit from them, they are also thinking about how to trick us.

DK, on the other hand, won the sweepstakes when he was chosen by Manny, so for sure, it will boost his social media present. And who knows, fans of Manny might follow this Youtube star. Let's see who will be the judges and the referee here, we are definitely curious who is going to score it from the sideline.

I fully agree, the name DK Yoo has been put to the map of known people after Manny accepted his deal of an exhibition fight. But regardless it is always good to know that Yoo agrees to some of the proceedings of the fight be given to the charity.

Is that right? I really thought that it was all Manny Pacquiao's share that will be given to the charity excluding DK Yoo. If that is really the case then it is indeed good that he actually agreed to take some part of his share and donate it to Manny Pacquiao's chosen charity. Well, I guess that is DK Yoo's way to thank Manny Pacquiao because he have been chosen to be the latter's first dance since he retired from the industry.

It seems that we will see this fight happening in 2023, no date yet, but according to Plant, he has signed the contract already.

https://twitter.com/SweetHandsPlant/status/1588279180281532417

Plant is riding on a momentum of his great knockout against Anthony Dirrell last month,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxF5cu7fG3U

Benavidez, on the other hand is a two-time former WBC super middleweight champion, never lost the belt to any fighter though. It was all his wrong doing, first he lost the title when he was tested positive for cocaine. And then after getting back the title, he lost it again this time to Roamer Alexis Angulo as he can't make the weight.

Benavidez wanted to go and fight Canelo Alvarez, but the camp of Canelo says no, as they want him to proved himself. So maybe if he beat Plant worst than Canelo beat him, he might gain some respect and could potentially face Alvarez in the future.

What are your thoughts on this fight?

I just knew it now that David was once a champion in this division but got stripped because of that incident, that's tough. Now he is making his name again because his ultimate goal is to have a dance with the undisputed champion, Canelo Alvarez. The kid's chances to defeat Caleb Plant is quite pretty and I'm much more inclined to see him win rather than Plant, although Plant could be much devastating this time because defeating David will be his way to have his rematch with Canelo.

Regarding the status of this fight, I've read an article that this fight will take place somewhere in Autumn 2023, so it's likely on the 4th quarter and much longer than what I expected when I first saw this thread.

Since the fight is already close and Martin isn't really known boxer, I decided to post this fight here. Lopez will fight against Martin in the next 2 weeks, the bookie listed Lopez is huge favorite with the odds 1.13x while Martin is an underdog with the odds 5.20x. However based on Martin performance, he's not really that weak since he have beat Mikey Garcia which is his biggest fight so far. Now he seems to be want a tougher challenge.

Again, Lopez shouldn't underestimate Martin.

Very interesting to see Lopez going back in the ring again for the second time this year, but then again it's a cherry pick fight.

Yes, I guess we can indeed call this bout as a cherry-picked fight for Teo Lopez but this is an important fight for him too because this will be Teo's preparation before he will face either of the three champions. Currently, Lopez sits 4th of the super-light rankings while Martin is at 5th. And I'm seeing that Teo is also defending the regular belt of WBO super-light.

I guess I learned new today because I haven't know that there's a regular champion existing for the WBO belt as I only knew about the WBA regular belt that Gervonta had in the lower division. I did traced it why Lopez got that belt when in fact this bout is just his 2nd fight since he moved up and I saw that he got it against Pedro Campa because the belt was vacate at that time. Regarding to this topic for Teo's 2nd bout, I guess he won't have some hardships as well because Sandor Martin is not that much of a threat but it is better if he wouldn't underestimate him though.

Curry scored 33 points and helped the Warriors beat Utah at home, Wiggins and Thompson also showed a good game and scored 20 points. Steve Kerr talks about a turning point in the results for the team, as far as home matches, I agree with him, but for the away games it's not so positive so far. But the team is moving up and the Warriors seem to be feeling more confident.

And Sacramento, after a series of wins, suffers the second defeat in a row, this time they lost to Boston, which is now very good.

Jazz played well in the last game. Almost all the players had a good well-rounded game. But the problem is Stephen Curry carried his team on his back. Of course, he had help from the other players. But eventually, we have to say it was he who actually got the win for his team. The warrior seems to be getting better currently. And they will have to get better otherwise, they are not going to be able to get to the top.

We need to realize they have plenty of other good players now as well. Back in the day it was just curry-klay-draymond that carried the team and the other players could change, iggy and shaun livingston played a great role as well but wasn't the key factor if you ask me (how iggy got fmvp is still beyond me).

However, these days they added poole and wiggins which are at a much higher level and they so much, Curry is playing like it's one of his best seasons ever even at his older age, and we are seeing the team growing so much together. I am guessing that it's not going to be easy but they do have a chance to win the title again if they get better on defence.

But still the same formula though, big 3 + good to decent role players, now we have Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins.

Let me just add though that Jordan Poole has been criticized lately in the media as his game is somewhat going down specially with those "carry the ball" recently. But I disagree though, Poole just had a good game last night and this might be start of his game again. Similar to Klay who had some rough start, but was able to get over in their last 4 games or so. And for the first time they are .500 team again.

Exactly. Poole was under heavy criticism for his poor performance lately but I do think and believe that he is way better than that, he don't owe anyone an explanation because he already proved his utility last season when he suddenly rose up and earn a spot to be in the starting five who just started from the bench last season too. He is more of a clutch player to me and I think his performance will keep up if the games is more intense and tougher.

This fight going to be big fight, both the participants are equal with their strength and strategy. Thurman had the reputation already in the championship. He had won three times of the game he played. Even Thurman not in the top 5 position, his game was impressive in the boxing league. His game and tactics helped them to score the points and with three championship. He is recovered from the injury and will make the good game for the upcoming matches.

Everyone is expecting that Spence will win, but we have Thurman who is not a champion but still fight like a Champion. I'm glad that Spence take this challenge although it's mandatory now, but the fact that Spence fighting a legit challenger, that will make this fight very interesting compared to the fight of Crawford.

It's also because most of the 147 lbs fighters are into the stable of Al Haymon in PBC that's why it's easy to made. As compare to Crawford which has to settle on Avanesyan on his next fight as he can't find a good dance partner.

And that is why he is still being criticized eventhough is no longer with Top Rank.

But as a I have said, PBC controls that division and they have Thurman and Spence to fight next and obviously the winner will all be in house money and belt for them.

Wait, is this fight already official? The last information that I know is that both camps are yet on the talks and trying to come up with the same goal. Did Spence already accepted it though? And it was rumored that this bout will happen somewhere around the 3rd week of the next month. Which got me thinking that the rumored date is quite near and practically almost impossible to make it happen as boxers need their time to study and prepare for it.
I'll be glad to hear more information about this bout.

I‘ve wondered why this sort of thing hasn’t become reality with the internet and crypto. It’s probably a good thing as this sort of inhumane behavior would likely lead to protests. However, I once thought it might be cool to have a crypto gambling site where users could bet on fish fights between Japanese fighting fish, but again, a bit inhumane even if fish are a little less evil due to them not feeling pain. This sort of thing could only bring negativity to Bitcoin, so it’s probably best it doesn’t exist.

Until the industry became so corrupt that there was game fixing that results in kidnapping and killing that the government have to stop the operation, they have no choice but to do that, because of this cock fighting so many humans are sacrificed

Good thing it stop because cockfighting doesn't do anything good to people since for what we see in local news it all cost to much damage to people who's betting on cock fighting. And look what happen government can live without it also it seems that crimes or violence news related with such incidents are been low because government already ban the source.

FYI only the online version was stopped there is still cockfighting in stadiums and specialized cockpit arenas, its a tradition for many countries and so instead of totally banning it, governments just regulate it so they can make money out of it, it's hard to fight tradition, only on a total communist country can they stop tradition, it may look cruelty to animals but these gamblers don't see it that way they only want to make money and they will just eventually cook the chicken who loss in the match.

The banned cockfight game was just the E-Sabong and not the indoor ones which is attended by a mass of people on occasions. At first, the government seems to benefit from it because of the millions of taxes that the game can give but eventually, people have gone addicted to it because they can just play anywhere and anytime they want without going to a cockpit arena, and some cases, there are people who got lost because of the alleged cheating inside.

Now, only the selected cockpits are given the permit to operate their businesses, given that they will just open their doors occasionally, so that people won't get that too addicted.

Looks like NLEX will have a chance of breaking their losing streak tonight, the game against the Ginebra now goes to OT and NLEX are leading by 3 points with 3 minutes left in the game, if they will handle the ball well and make some effective plays, they might upset the heavy favorite here.

I'm not watching the game now but it looks like they already won the game.

Based on the play-by-play record, the score is 120-117 in favor of the NLEX.
https://pba.ph/playbyplay

Brownlee had 39 points but Clark had a great game as well with 37 points, and Trollano contributed 26 points from the local.

I would say it's a huge win by NLEX. Never though a good team like Ginebra will be beaten by a struggling NLEX team. Ginebra seemed to be a very unpredictable now, you can't rely them against a weak team but you can trust them against a good team, I guess I'll just follow that trend for me to be profitable in betting. Grin

No other coin or platform could take away from it from Ethereum and still see that it will continue to lead and dominate in smart contract industries.
In fact, for many years ETH exist and several downfalls it has and with market competition, we are still able to see ETH on top among altcoins and never I see it will change even in the future.

It is a trusted platform and 2nd to Bitcoin, people are considering these projects unique from others. ETH devs will continue to provide good services to the community and protect their reputation.

The trading system is at failure if you are an emotional trader. Let us say that 95% are losing their trades but I think they still do their best, however, it was not enough to catch the momentum, and ended up losing their money. But despite this negative view of future trading, many were still trying to look for their luck there. And I have no gut to discourage them either but to let them do what they want so they will find themselves what this future trading is all about if compared to spot trading.

I was confused about the difference between the bad side and the ugly side because generally, they are all on the negative side.

I was participating in airdrops before last 2016-2017 and I tell you that many participants got their precious rewards which is why it encourage people to join during that time. But after that time and until today when the bear season hits the market, airdrops are useless anymore, many of them are scammy and have no market value. So if we expect we can get any $$$ from joining them, I don't think so.

It only shows that earlier people in cryptos are much brave because they hold on despite the cryptos are still a new thing that time and they are not aware if what can come next. People in cryptos today must be ashamed of what they have acted knowing that cryptos are not a new thing anymore and it already gone through a lot of tough battles yet it is still there.

Crypto will continue to survive no matter what because there are always people who will have a solid faith on it and most of these people are the pioneer in crypto world. It's only one exchange that have collapsed but we still have plenty of them that are trusted. People should worry less.

And whether we like it or not, dump will come and make doubtful people sell their money while believers catch it. Until now, many people are still questioning the capability of Bitcoin, many were still thinking that drops are a sign of collapsing platform. I'm not sure how this mindset can be changed but surely, not all who are here investing in crypto have faith and a strong hand. Many individuals will lose their Bitcoin and regret it later.

Ok just to make it formal:

Quote

"On November 14, 2022, TGB Promotions applied for special permission on behalf of Spence to fight Thurman in February 2023, but with specific mandatory conditions. Pursuant to WBA rule C.16, which states that mandatory defense periods can be modified for cause, either by special permission request or on its own initiative, the WBA decided that Spence can face Thurman," the WBA stated.

https://www.boxingscene.com/errol-spence-vs-keith-thurman-title-fight-approved-by-wba--170619

So this fight has been sanctioned by the WBA already, one of Spence belt, and now that we have 2 bodies already, WBC + WBA and perhaps the IBF will follow suit with the mandatory fight order as well.

And to add to this, WBA also ordered WBA "regular" welterweight champion Eimantas Stanionis to make a mandatory defense against Vergil Ortiz.

And then the winner facing the winner of Spence vs Thurman to have one single champion.

This makes things more interesting because Spence is now more oblige to fight Thurman, he obviously cannot make some priorities on that revenge that he might be wanted because that will be an expensive mistake that will cost him 2 belts and there's a high chance that the IBF will follow as well, if that happens, all 3 belts is now on the line. Keith will surely be excited because things are getting into his favor, now the only thing he needed to do is to defeat Spence.

There's nothing to worry about that this fight will not happen because both boxers will certainly find a way to make sure it will happen. Thurman should be happy with this fight, after his comeback win, now he is going to fight the champion and he will have a chance to win that belts.

OKC and the Denver Nuggets still on OT, for sure the over bet have been hit for those who bet pre game.

That's the kind of advantage if you will bet on over as most likely the game will goes over if there's an overtime.

The total score is 257 while the over/under was only 230, easy win.
By the way, the road team also won and cover the spread.

Quote from: danherbias07 on November 23, 2022, 09:49:25 AM

Los Angeles Lakers still cannot get their first road win with or without Lebron James.
Anthony Davis though is proving he is definitely a monster. 4 games 30+ points and 15+ rebounds. Even the double-double man Kevin Love had not done this while in his prime.

Davis did really everything to carry his team, but if you look at the contribution of his teammates, you can only choose some who are really contributing, it's like he is the only one who has a heavy load and we know he cannot do that against a good team like the Suns.

Do you think there is a high chance that Solana will be like what happened in FTX or is there any hope to recover?
....

I wasn't really skeptical about the situation but since Solana is still there, I would this project still have the chance either.
Now, it was from the team or the developers to find a way to make people bring back their trust and appreciate their services. It was really tough for them in this current situation but this will never say that the future of Solana is dark, lights can be seen if they will take action and find a long-term solution.
Most importantly, the team will never give up but rather push themselves to work hard.

It is good to see that any establishments are willing to accept Bitcoin but the question is if people are also wanted to spend their Bitcoin buying stuff.
That is really amazing, yet most of us had considered Bitcoin as an investment which makes me think that people are still preferred to use fiat over Bitcoin. I'm going to say that because, in myself, I can't do it. I can be one of those people who believe Bitcoin as a currency but never use it in real life as I can see more benefits if I use this for investment.

Once companies accept bitcoin payment then I think people will also use bitcoin for payment. Nowadays people don't want to use bitcoin for payment because the purpose is profit, that means when the time comes for bitcoin to make a significant profit for them, I believe everyone will use their bitcoin. If an investment gives you a few thousand percent returns, but if you don't use it, it won't give you anything either. At the moment, people are not ready to use bitcoin as it has not yet made a significant profit, but the time will come.

I would say that I was just practical at this time since Bitcoin isn't widely accepted in our place meaning that it was wise and profitable to make this as an investment. Only if it happens that there is a store that will accept Bitcoin near to me, of course, I'd love to try it and see how they process payment, but unfortunately, nothing. Just like the others, they preferred to trade rather than make use of this as a currency and we can't deny that the majority are here for that reason.

It's really scary how crypto market reacts to FUD but also there is a cause to be panic right now due to what FTX founder did.

That is a valid reason especially if your funds are in there. You can really be thinking and even hopeless about taking it back when FTX will have its end.

Quote

If BTC fail to hold the 14k region we are in on a very long bear market unless new big investors come back and invest into crypto maybe after BTC halving, it took a lot of work for us to come this far and now FTX ruined it all.

I have no reason to be worried because this FTX thing is creating another life time opportunity for crypto investors once again, if you invest on the right projects there is no reason to be worry.

I can really see the dropping scenario after the FTX issue. It was the FUD wins again to the mindset of the people. However, it was not the end of the crypto journey, things like this will certainly come sometime. Unfortunately, many were too emotional about it and think selling their Bitcoin for safety. I could still understand that situation as I also had that feeling before. Panic will appear in your mind if you are not really familiar with the market.
