Trading skills are what is developed overtime and if an experienced friend can render you the help to mentor you the process may be faster but that also depends on the level your determination to learn how to trade and if your friend can dedicate the time to give you first-hand lessons and guides you may phase some challenges along the way even if you have the motivation to learn.
as friends, of course, want to teach according to their abilities, and the rest we are personally who should be self-aware to learn the development of trading techniques. lest we actually interfere with friends' time while we are studying. therefore as much as possible we can learn independently and learn in essence only from friends, so we must be able to enjoy the process in order to gain a lot of experience, and after that we can enjoy the results comfortably
Learning with friends is somewhat different from learning on our own. I'd say it was easy to have some people that could help to analyze the market and talk together but yeah, this is never forever, we also have to work on our own and develop our skills. We can't be forever reliant on others even on our friends as this couldn't help us to improve and enhance our confidence, especially in the difficult times.

- we consider the situation by making our own strategies to get ready for the future.

GGG on gaining points? That's not possible, because GGG is a KO artist and Canelo boxed better than GGG, so when if we talk about points, the advantage will be on GGG. Honestly, I love to see an all out war in this fight, both fighters should go for a KO as this could be their last fight against each other.
Though GGG is a KO artist but Canelo wouldn't get KO'ed by GGG because Bivol is a KO artist too and has higher power than GGG, but Canelo already proving he can survive for 12 rounds against Bivol. Canelo is the best boxer which have head movement to take less punches, while GGG have an iron chin. If it goes toe to toe, the judges will see GGG is bad than Canelo since he took more damages.

If GGG will got KO'ed by Canelo, then it's end of his career and he might retire after this.

Most probably, GGG will retire if he will suffer a convincing defeat in this 3rd fight. But, look at GGG's power as well, he is not called as a great figher if he doesn't have the skills, let's compare it to Pacman, remember when he has multiple fight with Marquez and we never thought he would lose, but on their last fight, Marque caught him good with the right counter and that resulted to a KO Victory.

Rumors of Bradley Beal declining his $36.4 million Wizard's contract option. Money wise he should take the money but if he wants a real shot at the championships then he can reject it and look for better teams. But maybe another decent team will offer him a good amount of money for a longer.
I guess these keys players like him are starting to realize that it's not just all about the contract but also getting in a team that has a caliber to take the ring.

Hell yeah, this is a big money and it's already a good amount for the contract that he wants to sign. But I guess that offer will remain there until he finally accepts it or find a better deal from the other teams with good teammates.

We all know that a player who wants to win a ring does not have much chance in a team like the Washington Wizards. Bradley Beal is a good basketball player, but $36 million is a lot of money. In this case, it will not be easy to make a decision.
I hope he goes to a team he can be happy with and has a better year ahead. He is now a basketball player approaching the age of 30 Smiley

He knows what he is doing, if he wants to win a championship, then he should look for another team to play. Wizards is not a championship team, ye, he will earn a decent amount but staying in a team that has no chance to win a championship maybe something Beal does not want to do.

Playing with a legit superstars, that's probably what he is looking for, so if Lakers will acquire him, they need to let Westbrook go.

I believe that this trader is right that he continues to trade even in such a situation as now. Probably this is his only source of income, which means he needs to trade and earn. There is also another point, the fact is that now the prices for cryptocurrencies are very volatile, which is a great opportunity for an experienced trader to trade and earn income. On the other hand, if this trader is trading, he sees opportunities, and those who have stopped trading are probably just not confident in their abilities. In any case, everyone must decide for himself what to do, whether to trade cryptocurrency or not.
Of course, they put their money at risk doing trading as they see a bigger chance to make a profit from it. Traders will remain in trading as it was their life. They'll somehow start their own business or even get employed but they choose a life like this because they are comfortable and much more familiar. Of course, I'll do the same if that happens to me and I choose the life that makes me happy despite the losses and hard times.

And besides, not all are meant to trade and yes, real traders are somewhat special having such kind of attitude and skills.

It's too early for the bear market to be over, I am saying this because many think we have hit the bottom when ethereum made it to 900$, its not over and you shouldn't be buying coins with all you have, this is a fake out recovery.
Even not during the bear season, we need to be careful when choosing them.
Thorough research is highly advisable, especially in new projects. But if we ask for a bigger chance to make a profit, choosing altcoins among the top 10 is way better and ideal. As to note that the results of investment come from the way we choose coins to invest plus the price of purchase.
Buying low, selling high? If you are consistent with this, you probably making yourself easy earning a profit and becoming rich.

Converge seemed doing a pretty good job so far in this season.

I like their great start, they won again by a good margin and this time against the DYIP.

I don't know if the ranking is already updated (https://pba.ph/standings), but having a 2-3 start will give them an opportunity to be in the elimination.

2-3 start for a new team is not bad, they are the Alaska team (previously), so we can expect that they are not a trash team, they play good defense and that is already built in the team. I like to see them in the playoffs to play with the big boys, Ginebra, SMB and TNT, these are the favorites to win, let's see if they can beat them.
1547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: June 22, 2022, 12:03:49 PM
I don't really have doubts that Bivol could beat up Canelo basing on stats and paper

Oh really? Did make a bet ? Because Bivol was a huge underdogs with +350 odd. A lot of people did not believe in Bivol and though that the fight will be similar to Canelo vs Kovalev. Also on the paper, Canelo was much better than Bivol. Bivol was not even rank1 in his weight class and Artur Beterbiev looked much more dangerous (some people say that that was one of reason Canelo has chosen Bivol instead of Beterbiev). If Canelo would work more to get a KO, and GGG on gaining points, then we would see another close to draw fight that Canelo would win again thanks to judges.


GGG on gaining points? That's not possible, because GGG is a KO artist and Canelo boxed better than GGG, so when if we talk about points, the advantage will be on GGG. Honestly, I love to see an all out war in this fight, both fighters should go for a KO as this could be their last fight against each other.
1548  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El-salvador bitcoin investment is underwater on: June 21, 2022, 11:01:35 PM
El Salvador's president looks bullish on Bitcoin and from his recent tweets he may not be purchasing more Bitcoin but rather will be looking away from the price chart, and this purchasing mentality is what make the El Salvador Bitcoin bound timeless.   This relates more when price is not the focus  but the number of Bitcoin in their Bitcoin stake. 1BTC=1BTC
He did it right. As the more he looks at the chart, listening to the criticism, the more it brings him down. It is a fair decision to leave for the market for a while, encouraging not to buy yet. For as long as El Salvador never sell any of their holdings, therefore to say that they never lose any and their people must stop thinking about it.

We could say that they are at the wrong time accumulating Bitcoin but that is how the market works, it is unpredictable. Can't see the perfect time when to buy.
1549  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New coins bring a lot of big profits on: June 21, 2022, 10:23:14 PM

 New projects are just a waste of time and money since most of them end up in scams and that there's no way you can expect decent profits from them. Instead, invest in bitcoin and ethereum, you will never face huge losses as long as you never intend to sell them when prices are dropping. Although there are some coins that are unexpectedly increasing their prices, but be careful as they might be hyped and that everything will fall down once the hype is gone.

New project gives bad perspective about gaining huge wealth more faster and sometimes they ignore the risk about scam then invest on many random new created new tokens around and then suddenly huge scam happen to them. Hopefully the incidents about what happen before to old investors is already enough basis for people not to risk any huge amount for long term on investing on new because sometimes those ones are created for pump and dump schemes.
I'm not sure how these newbies will take those experiences and become a reason to ignore new projects as we know that greedy people still exist and easily get fooled which makes these scammers still alive as well. It was hopeless to see the change, many people are still coming and they will do the same invest in hypes and scam projects. Although there are a few new projects that are worth enough to invest in but yes, that was too hard to find and much more difficult if we never do research.

It's normal for people to bet on the games that they like, though people love sports but not most of them will gamble on sports. Bookies will just provide what people would want to bet on, that's why football gains more bets because it's the most popular in the world, and while more and more people learn to gamble, their market will just continue to grow and be more profitable.

It's easy to learn the sports but not so easy to learn how to gamble, especially if we are talking of responsible gambling.

As long as they do the right precaution to prevent the virus they have the right to open the business. We have been battling the virus, it's not healthy anymore if we will allow it to defeat us, our economy is very important, because without a bad economy it will only make the problem worse.
1552  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best time to buy or wait a little bit ? on: June 20, 2022, 11:11:28 PM
You first to know what is your plan after buying Bitcoin...
Though to say that this was a good time to buy Bitcoin but see to that you can also afford to hold them as we are not sure if dump will continue after buying. It has for you to know as well that holding is necessary at this bear season and might takes too long before to make a profit. Thus, if this seems okay for you, then that was the time to make a decision and buy as much as you can.
1553  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reason why I won't be buying top altcoins in this bear market on: June 20, 2022, 02:18:24 PM
Somewhere your point of view is correct I also think that some top ranked altcoins will be replaced by other quality altcoins except Ethereum nevertheless I think rank doesn't matter we should consider to invest in good utility and strong fundamental based altcoins although the current market condition is not appropriate to invest more money in altcoins now the time is to have patience and hope for something positive.
We have the same belief that Ethereum will never be replaced in its rank. But the other altcoins, they're likely to be exchange ranks and places because it's the most volatile of them all. The investors that have diversified a lot from altcoins and didn't save bitcoin or Ethereum, they're the ones that will have the bloodiest portfolio of them all. Too many exchanges shall happen and the strongest last year might be the weakest for this year and for the next years to come. It's a cycle and a continuous change.
There is a possible reshuffle of coins rank after this bear season as I'm going to believe that only reliable and has working products will survive while useless and shitcoins will dump to die. In fact, we'd seen this situation before, numbers of projects went down and never recover anymore. This is expected to see and so investing those coins that have been known to its profitability like ETH and BNB are worth to buy during this time.
1554  Economy / Speculation / Re: Today is the day on: June 19, 2022, 11:27:12 AM
The bear season isn't finished yet, I think we have to prepare for the worse and more dead times for Bitcoin.

I have seen recently that Bitcoin is moving back close to $20k, a short pump might lead to something a huge dump in return. I was thinking now for $15k, might this be possible?

It has to say that the month of June is more troublesome, I expect more panic selling rather than accumulations.
1555  Economy / Speculation / Re: What goes up must come down on: June 17, 2022, 03:10:12 PM
In before sub $20k.
it only take couple of Months before it comes true , even me did not believe what you are saying last year but now it looks like clearly indeed to happen and yes it already happened.
but at least you predicted 20k and not below that level right?  Grin
Predictions that are quite painful when now come true, I hope some people here no longer predict bitcoin prices will decline because maybe some of them will come true Grin, the current decline in bitcoin prices has really made many people including me lose half of the estimated money that I have, I hope that no more bad news hits bitcoin so maybe we will not cry tears of blood again Cry.

It's only painful of bitcoin will collapse and will not recover anymore. What we are witnessing now is just normal here in crypto, we've seen many times before that bitcoin collapse but the good news is that it always bounces back and recovers.

If you still remember the bull run happened in 2017 when bitcoin hit $20k, after that, the correction came and bitcoin dumped to sub $3k, that's a huge loss but those who panicked did not enjoy the bull period because bitcoin hit over $60k from $3k low in 2018 IIRC.

So the point is, if bitcoin hits $10k or $5k, I think we should consider stacking up bitcoin so we will be able to enjoy the next bull run, and I have a feeling that the next bull run will result to a new ATH of bitcoin reaching at least $100k.
1556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: June 17, 2022, 02:37:04 PM
Nice game between the SMB and Magnolia now. I  took the SMB when they were down and I got them on ML.

It's still a close game now, both teams are just trading baskets and it doesn't matter if it will end up a close game as long as SMB wins.  Grin

Both are good teams, of course, we will see a great matchup. James Laput is currently guarding Fajardo, it's a big task for him because Fajardo is the best big man in the PBA now, so let's see how this game will end up, still a very close game.

Fajardo is still unstoppable inside although he is not back to his MVP form yet. I'm also watching this game live through facebook channel, and Laput has already been fouled out in the game. Less than 2 minutes left and SMB has a decent lead already, if it goes 11+ points, I would win my bet.

SMB wins, they are still undefeated now. I'm just wondering, what happened to Calvin Abueva in that game, he seemed lost, he is not making points and he also made lots of mistakes, especially a crucial play where he was called for an offensive foul, if that didn't happen and Magnolia shoot a 3 point, they could have tied the game.

Moala Tautuaa was the best player in the game, but JMF's contribution is still huge because he was protecting the paint and he is also aggressive inside. The game was very physical, Magnolia almost had a chance to win the game due to their good pressure defense in the 4th quarter but one mistake by Abueva cost them a game.

SMB is good but they are not as clutch as they were before, the old line up was deadly IMO, but let's accept the new line up.
Ross also missed the game and Terrence was still not available, so the offense are mostly coming from CJ Perez and Cruz from the outside.
1557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: June 17, 2022, 01:58:58 PM
I looked at the OP's post, the odds of the Warriors that time was;

Quote
4- Warriors >8.50

Whoever won that kind of odds is a lucky better, congratulations to you, you also deserve to celebrate because you trusted the Warriors when they were not the favorite to win the championship.

I think OP has won it too, you can see on the thread he made, that he posted a betslip for the Warriors to win the championship.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395393.msg59917438#msg59917438

Congrats @OP, big win, everyone here is happy for sure as Warriors ML in game 4 was good.
1558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 17, 2022, 01:21:07 PM
I think Curry can break the number of championships Jordan has won.

If remains healthy, he can do that for sure. Curry is only 34 years old, there are plenty of seasons to be played and he just needs to win 3 straight seasons so he can break the record of MJ, and of course, win the finals MVP as well so it would solidify his legacy.

He already have a legacy. Chasing the MJ legacy is almost impossible for the current generation of NBA as there is no one kinda closed to MJ so yea , maybe the new generation will match him.

For now , we should be glad that we saw a Curry at 34 years old playing an amazing basketball and his IQ during the game is insane as you never know when he will shoot , pass or dribble but for him to break MJ record will be tough as I think this was the end of an era for GSW...time will speak tho.

I wouldn't make a conclusion this early, Curry and Jordan have a different style in Basketball, and Curry had also made history with his great 3-point shooting. Lebron is already 37 years old and still active, Curry can still play until 40 IMO as long as he takes care of his body.
1559  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Hodlers are actively buying bitcoin these days on: June 17, 2022, 12:36:27 PM
The long-term holders will still buy bitcoins and put buy orders at different price levels to decrease their buying levels that's how they increase the profit they earn because they do not worry about the situation of the market in the bearish phase and they don't have a plan to sell bitcoins at this level, so buying bitcoins whenever the price is doing a downtrend movement and everyone is selling can be profitable for them in long term.
Apparently, it makes them decide to do this as a way of helping the market and also taking advantage of the situation. We can say, it is a sort of manipulation but guess what? We as small investors are making benefits from it as well. Holders are not afraid to take risks as they somehow believe that they won't fail but succeed. Keeping those spirits is I think we need to adapt and instead of thinking negative upon seeing the chart, we tend to divert it by looking at bear season as an opportunity.

The steel hands are still awake holding strong and filling more bags let the weak hands continue to pool in the party we wait for the xxxxxx days ahead when the Bitcoin bull surfaces.

Quite an amazing feeling!
perhaps, it was their choice and we can't urge people to do that in the way that they have their own decision.
I do holding for some reason,
 - in order not to lose my money
 - believing the fact that the market will soon recover and I get paid off

Yeah, weak hands often get easily panic and sell their coins while strong hands will choose to wait for the right time to sell, and have faith.
