Normally it should be bear when you accumulate then sell it if bull market happens, but its hard to determine if we are in bear or bullish situation since there are times that we think that this is the final dip but turns out there will be more to come and we get trap with it.
 Also there are scenarios that we expect the bull run came but it stabilize on certain price level so for this situation we need to be more updated on any situation so that we can do some good decision if the market is not going on the direction where we like to go.
Now, the situation is uncertain but for me, I don't see it going to again, no more $20k at this time as we are done already with it.
Till now, we don't have any assurance for the price to recover shortly but I know we are going that moment, yet it will take time to arrive.
What we gonna do for now is to keep calm and strong. I do not often check the market price because I don't want to think negatively about the current situation, so adjust and wait. As long as I'd never sell my Bitcoin, I'd never lose any.

People who are annoyed by the declining price of Bitcoin due to buying at high prices, while those who are enthusiastic about this condition will welcome happily because they can get Bitcoin at low prices. This is how the rotation of feelings that everyone has with certain conditions that occur in the Bitcoin market. On the one hand investors need to prepare mentally and be patient until the price increases again, while on the other hand those who want to get Bitcoin in large quantities will continue to increase the number of their assets while the price is cheap. The enthusiasm for getting Bitcoins will give you the opportunity to collect more bitcoins while the prices are cheap.

That is why we have to understand the word "Volatility" because, at any time, the price of Bitcoin will either pump or dump. This is why, if we are able to understand this, we never feel too emotional when seeing the current situation but instead, we are still calm. Because while some people are selling their Bitcoin, some investors also had taking advantage of buying it.
If we are investing in Bitcoin or altcoins, we adhere also to understanding how the volatility works. This is why, if we wanted to earn more, therefore, we also have to buy more and sell high, not buy high and sell low.

Inflation is the cause of this,that is why your income might not be able to meet up with your needs anymore. You don't need to start selling your bitcoin only if you have invested more than the amount that you are suppose to invest. This is where the problem lies because when there is an emergency need,you are left with no option than to sell off. That's is why you need to have various means of cash inflow to enable you not sell your bitcoin or you need to invest based on your cash inflow at a given period of time. Inflation can destabilize one bitcoin accumulating plan or your plan to hold for long if you can't be flexible with the changes in the cost of living.
People invest in Bitcoin for some reason and they would sell them when they are in need. We can't stop them either nor urge them that just hold because some of these investors are weak, they will easily get into panic once they saw a decline. But I don't see it was a problem because this is really how the crypto market works and this is how the volatility showed to us. It is definitely we can't see Bitcoin keep on high but we also see its price dump for any reason that is why we always have to be prepared for what will happen next.

We could call his recent weight though as out of shape, but he can carry that body, and he is still very agile so we can't question about his shape or what because he could be a freak of nature.
He looks out of shape, judging by the picture shared, but it doesn't matter as he has already proven that he is the best in the heavyweight division. When he defeated Wilder, he solidified his legacy in the division he currently reigns over. So, even if he does not look as intimidating with that body, I have no doubt he can still be the best once he steps into the ring.

Enough about James Harden. I think I've found an interesting topic to discuss.

Pelicans star Zion Williamson shows off new look in viral photos

Take a look at these viral pictures. What can you say about his appearance? He has been criticized for being overweight, with some suggesting that his weight is the reason he is prone to injuries. However, when you look at this 'scary man' now...
Ooh, papi.
He is ripped. Well, it's part of his contract. To lessen that weight off him and avoid injuries. Let's hope he is doing it correctly and we can see some new highlights from him.
This guy will change the path of the New Orleans Pelicans if he can play the whole season. They might even have the chance to take the top 3 spots in the league. I mean, without him they played great with Brandon Ingram leading the pack. With him, I bet that's a large plus for the team.

It's a new look for Zion this coming season. I don't want to hype myself up a lot as he has disappointed me many times already. However, I'm seeing the hard work he has put in, as evidenced by his new look. I hope people will refrain from criticizing him, as it's not his fault he got injured. In fact, he is still trying to help the team, and hopefully, he will be able to please us once again.
906  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth it to teach older people about bitcoin technology? on: August 21, 2023, 12:33:58 PM
Bitcoin has captured the center of attention, especially with the younger generations showing keen interest in it. Yet, there are those who believe that teaching older individuals about it might not be a wise investment of time. However, we must ponder: does it carry value? This conversation revolves around the question of whether it's worthwhile to educate older generations about bitcoin.
Why not, there is no age limit for teaching Bitcoin even to older people. The capacity of Bitcoin is not only for certain circles, as long as these people are willing to accept Bitcoin in their life, they can receive knowledge about Bitcoin and then get involved in it. The openness of Bitcoin to anyone will make it easier for people who are interested to become part of the investors who have been involved in Bitcoin investment for a long time. As long as they are able to take the time to learn how to invest in Bitcoin there will be no useless knowledge.
Learning and teaching Bitcoin is not just a trend but we are spreading the right information in order to correct wrong information that has spread mostly in the social. Although teaching oldies was not really important but we also let them gain knowledge about Bitcoin because it was their right as well. As long as they have an interest in Bitcoin, the more we have to spend time teaching them because this would give a huge impact on the community and could also be shared with their family. Maybe it was a big challenge for them because of the technology use but I see how helpful it was to promote Bitcoin when these oldies are already believe it.
907  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why we need to buy meme coin? on: August 21, 2023, 11:57:37 AM
Because
Sleep dreams that the tendency to suddenly become rich Cry

This is not really normal because meme coin is more dangerous in this crypto market. They always collect money from investors by showing amazing attractive offers. In reality their project does not last long in the market because most of the team members of meme coin are new generation and they have less experience. They are coming to the market only to grab the investor capital completely.
People had invested in meme coins because of the influence of social media influencers. Yes, they are tempting enough during the hypes as many people show their huge profit investing meme coins but it was not the one that we looked for, we need at least some assurance for the project to stay longer and it grows because of its potentiality not just during its hypes. Meme coins are known for their hype and Elon Muk's influence, not because they are valuable and have a use case which is a big factor why I don't encourage newbies to invest in them.

It's unfortunate that there is no coverage for the tune-up game between Gilas and Ivory Coast as it is a closed door event, the don't want scout to know their system hehe.
Are there betting odds for this particular game? It's understandable if they won't be showing the game live, but having betting odds available would be helpful as we can still check the outcome. Maybe the box score would be sufficient. I'm not sure if this is the rule for all tune-up games or just for this specific one. If I'm not mistaken, I believe there were some tune-up games that were broadcast live. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, there are odds in my favorite crypto bookies and at the moment the Gilas squad is ahead by a slim margin of six point, this only shows that Gilas is no push-over team anymore.



Thank you for sharing the live odds, kabayan. I am currently monitoring them, and I'm happy to see that the Philippines seems to be winning this game. We are already in the 4th quarter, and the score is 74-58 in favor of Gilas. I would like to extend my congratulations in advance to you, kabayan, if you were able to bet on this game.

910  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the largest meme coin ever? on: August 18, 2023, 03:00:48 AM
Generally i don't invest memecoin as those are sounds like bullshit, always remain possibility to dump overnight with only one bad news. Memecoins you mentioned, some are still okey and some are highly risky. I avoid doge cause i heard doge team already sold their shares. Only elon shield doge and he can sell anytime. Pepe is still new. Rest of those are bullshit. So among those memecoin, shiba seems good. Might be efficient in long term with its strong community support. Building up its partnership with so many organisations which would make it go higher with time
Well, it depends on the risk appetite that we have because some people never think about the future but just today and so they invest meme coins and joined the hype ignoring what the other people had say. This is not to wonder why many people had been disappointed and are in regrets from investing blindly without doing any research.
Meme coins are still having their momentum now but based on the background of these projects it is very uncertain if they will stay long because most hyped projects just vanished after it.
911  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A check on your wallet on daily basis can earn you some dollar on: August 17, 2023, 09:42:38 PM

CONCLUSION
It's a good deal for one to check his/her wallet at least once in a day. This will help you to control the funds in your wallet. Old token may do good within minute, one can take such advantage to make good cash out of such forgotten token.
Recently, I'd checked my wallet but no miracle happen still, it was loaded with shitcoins. So I don't have to believe that checking every day would give you some money as it never happen to me. But despite this thing still, I'm going to check it from time to time watching any of my shitcoins that have been so many years been there to at least show some changes because we know that many impossible things happen when the bull season so coming and even shitcoin could show something unusual movement. Who knows right because I have that experience in the last 2017 Bullrun.

It seems that Oscar wanted to go to legal actions here:

Quote
The Hall of Fame former six-division titlist is prepared to take legal action to protect the rights of England’s Ohara Davies, the top-rated WBA junior welterweight contender who Golden Boy Promotions signed earlier this spring. Davies was named mandatory challenger to current titlist Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, for which a purse bid hearing was indefinitely postponed as the sanctioning body will review medical documents provided on July 21 by Romero’s team.

https://www.boxingscene.com/de-la-hoya-demands-answers-threatens-legal-action-enforce-romero-davies-wba-mandatory-title-fight--177011

He wanted to have his bod, Ohara Davies to fight current WBA 140 lbs champion in Rolly Romero. But it seems there is a delay from the governing body to issue a mandatory fight and Oscar is eager for the WBA to give it to them. It was ordered already that a fight is to be made and maybe this is the contention of Oscar that's why he goes on legal actions to forced WBA to commit to it.

He has the right, and I believe he knows himself well enough to expect a victory in this battle. Furthermore, there's money at stake in this championship fight. Not only that, if his fighter defeats Rolly, it will open up even bigger opportunities for them to maximize their earnings. So, if I understand it correctly, there's a delay in the fight; it's not completely canceled yet. Oscar's camp simply wants to ensure that the fight will happen by setting a specific date.

For a businessman like him, waiting for nothing is just a wasted opportunity, so he wants to enforce what is due to happen.

It's sad to read news about so many players missing tournament - either because of injuries or they simply decided to get rest this summer. Last victim of injury is Kristaps Porzingis from Latvia. Seems that general level of competition will be lower than in China back in 2019.


I already expect these news about Kristaps 2 weeks ago.
Latvia scheduled plenty of test matches and while promoting it fro ticket sales about 3 weeks ago they wrote people would see all the NBA and Euroleague stars, yet Porzingis didn't show in any of those games.

As this is the deciding time to get your team ready this can only be something bad, and now it's confirmed.

Another prominent loss, and with Jamal Murray gone another one. Name wise this world cup seems not so big this time unfortunately. Still, let's hop for some nice games and bigger upsets maybe.

We were discussing how Canada had a good chance of winning due to Murray. However, now that he has been declared out, this will boost the chance of the USA to win the tournament. It's not good news for Canada, to be honest. Despite this, I still wouldn't bet on the USA. Instead, I would consider other teams that might have a chance to pull off an upset.

What is your opinion on the Dominican Republic's chances? I'm considering placing a bet on this team.
914  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wrong way to accumulate. on: August 17, 2023, 12:26:47 PM
I think the basic thing there is that everyone must not follow the sequence how others should be, and for any investment the investor should know the risk associated with it and be able to manage it properly. Over sometime people do not look at the risk but rather centered their efforts on the profits aspect which actually makes them not to for long time, understanding the purpose of investment always helps in securing and safeguarding their investment without being haste to sell.

About the cushion, well as I think is another way to help your investment not to be altered since it's serving as a reserved fund. And however, anyone who doesn't invest through his income or basic income where then do they get their money to invest or to keep accumulation of their bitcoin, Yes I know and it's a valuable asset that doesn't need to be altered but sincerely speaking you need something reserved fund or cushion to help you allow your investment last longer than expected as the case maybe.
Not looking at the risk but looking at the profit possibility is the number one mistake any rookie could make. You have to realize that you are not going to end up making that type of profit, there is no need for that and you should be careful with what you are doing. If you are careful about it then we are going to end up with something much better in the end as well.

However, this isn't really anything that would be profitable neither, and I believe that we need to be considering the situation that would be profitable if you are taking a bigger risk than you should. Take as little risk as you possibly could on the biggest profit you could make with that little risk. Take a look at risk first, then take a look at profit possibility.
People had overthink about Bitcoin as they think that investing in here will guarantee huge profits but not knowing the huge risk that they are going to face after buying. Too late to realize but I believe this particular saying - learn from our mistakes. Though we don't want to commit mistakes but whether we like it or not, this really gonna happen to all of us.
I'd say that investing in Bitcoin is not wrong what it makes difficult to earn is due to the actions and the market responses that we made - usually we fall into wrong decisions that causes major losses and fail our goal.
915  Economy / Speculation / Re: Volatility and its effect on: August 16, 2023, 09:38:00 PM
As we have seen all week long and a bit more than that, the price goes close to 30k and then close to 29k and then close to 30k and the.. well that continues like that non-stop. The volatility is there but the amount is very little and that is what I want to talk about, its not that much all the time. Volatility does happen time to time but it doesn't happen all the time, we just end up with bigger volatility during bear and bull runs. However, when we are not on a bear or bull run, we do not end up with any of that, price gets stuck and keeps on being the same price again and again. This is why there is no need to worry about the situation and feel a lot more comfortable about it.
Generally, there is not this much stability in the market because the market is either in the bear run or the bull run, which means it is either going down or going up, this thing only happens once in a while when the market gets totally stagnant as it has become right now. However, it is obviously nothing to worry about, those who want to buy or those who want to sell both should have some patience and keep holding their assets until the market moves.

The current market is not bad for buyers though because it isn't that high, and as the bull run is expected to occur next year, if the price starts going up from this point, this might be the bottom for the current market until the next cycles come when the market enters the bear run once again.
The market is like a roller coaster it will be going up and down. But we should never have to think that every drop is a bad thing in crypto instead, we consider this as an opportunity to accumulate more. As we usually heard when there is a market crash, many people got panic and sold their coins but not knowing that some people had take this advantage of buying them cheap coins which could give them a huge profit once it pumps back.
Well, as usual, not all will understand and see the opportunity in every market situation because what we had focused on is today but we're not looking at the future outcome.
916  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Chase to control the market! on: August 16, 2023, 04:29:29 PM
I have been in crypto for more than 5 years and i have seen a lot of incidents within the industry. There was a time when government and even a lot of people call Bitcoin a scam or a scammer currency. Many thought that only hacker scammers use Bitcoin for money laundering, drug dealing etc. But now the situation has changed and it's good to see how institution chasing each other to not be late to join the industry. The situation is so intense that now what matter most is who will control the market. In the current situation, it seems, no one wants to be the last one to jump over space.
Bitcoin was indirectly called a scammer currency but only to those who are blind with the reality about bitcoin, and whatever the government talks about bitcoin, they eventually supported it even without intensive research. But now, everything has changed. Bitcoin is now starting to surpass the expectations about fiat, that’s why a lot of financial institutions are now favoring bitcoin and start to invest in it for future potential profits.

By the way, always know that bitcoin remained decentralized up to these days and it’s obvious that no other group or entities can control its market. As long as it’s not centralized, then the government will never gain the full access on it.

The question right now is, is there any team that wants him?
Who wouldn't choose a player who has averaged a double-double for the past 2 seasons with the Nets? I'm confident that James Harden wouldn't challenge the management's decisions if he didn't believe that some teams would agree to the trade. He recognizes his value to a team, and any team he joins is likely to improve. The logic is straightforward: if a successful trade involving Ben Simmons occurred, it would be unwise to assume that James Harden won't also be traded.
918  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When Trading becomes Unfavourable on: August 16, 2023, 11:07:20 AM
Starting a business must face many challenges. Trading should be done mainly with experience only then it is possible to profit but many times it is seen that traders fail their opponents and lose half. You need to gain good experience when you start trading otherwise you will be emotional when you face losses.  In that case you have to start trading with risk because many times you may face huge losses but also many times you may profit. You need to know the important things about trending so that you don't face losses and know which coins you can trade in to profit. If you invest in some elat coins which are not trusted then you will definitely risk your money and may face losses. But if you start trading with Bitcoin then you will have less risk of loss and will be able to profit in future without having to face losses. And you must take advice from all investors to learn more details about trading and gain experience only then you can move forward.
We can learn more things from trading through experience but with that, losses will accompany us as well. As we begin trading, it should not be the profit that we have to think about first but instead, focusing on learning first and considering all the mistakes and losses will help us more. We can say that nobody becomes successful in trading without suffering losses and it comes with patience. And if we think it was easy, I don't think we are able to reach our goal and become successful but possibly will fail.

I believe that you are more concern about your neighbors not earning from anything because they don't trust bitcoin that's why you are trying teach them a lesson for what they are missing and yeah that is good of you.
Hope that they will find this in their heart like what we did in the past years when at first we also denied trusting this currency but now we are the number one supporters.
Hopefully, they will appreciate it because it was seldom that there is a person who loves to spend their time helping others. Indeed, everyone deserved to be thought and I was willing to do as well if that person had also shown interest.

Many people stay far from getting to know about Bitcoin because of negative news that they have heard. And this would change once they gain education from experienced crypto investors which would help them open their minds and then be able to see the positive benefits, not just the negative stuff.
920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 - Betting and Discussions on: August 15, 2023, 01:47:12 PM


Nice odds, though. I wouldn't hesitate to bet on the Philippines to win, as they are on their home court and will surely receive significant support from the crowd. The basis for those betting odds was probably their current standing, but in an event like this, home court advantage is a big advantage, so I'm all in with that.

Also, I'm thinking of betting on the spread too. It's currently +9.5, and I believe the home team is undervalued here.

I think those odds are pretty accurate and on point. I would wonder if it will be a game around the 10 point gap, the odds makers did a good job there.
Having KAT helps the Dominicans of course, only thing speaking for PH here is the home court advantage and a basketball love crowd that will cheer for them.

Unfortunately excitement doesn't beat talent so it a steep mountain to climb if they want to win. Everything is possible but they must have a very good day to beat even a just ok Dominican team.


I did further research after my previous post and discovered that the Dominican Republic is a stronger team this year. Not only will they have KAT, but they also have Al Horford as another big man. In addition, Chris Duarte, who is an NBA player, is part of the team.

Here's another interesting story: it's the Dominican Republic that prevented Argentina from qualifying for the FIBA World Cup.

Argentina men’s basketball team fails to qualify for FIBA World Cup

Quote
Argentina, the world’s fourth-ranked men’s basketball nation, failed to qualify for this summer’s 32-team FIBA World Cup and will miss the quadrennial world championship for the first time since 1982.

Argentina, runner-up to Spain at the last worlds in 2019, was eliminated with a home loss to the Dominican Republic in its 12th and final game of North and South American qualifying on Sunday.
