I hope it was clear to everybody the risk of leaving our coins to the exchanges for a long time. Might sometimes do this but not necessarily use this for holding. Day traders will consider this but if we are not, it is more advisable to have a separate and controlled wallet than risking our funds in them as we can't assure the safety of our money in their hands. It is much better to anticipate what might happen( lose) so we have nothing to regrets if there is something will happen to them.

This is the main problem right now and a lot of people are being scammed without even their noticing it. They just take the bait for promising words or thinking that the project will be gonna huge in the future and even though the developers are hiding their information or just creating fake profiles on LinkedIn.

Even if we spread the about the scam projects we cannot control the investor or new investors that will spend their money on scam projects since they are thinking of quick and high profited money which can be turned into their loss.

I would prefer to only trade the altcoins on a known exchange and take the opportunity of the bear market which that has more potential in the future,
It was a sad reality but some people scam you face to face without worrying about what will happen to them because what is in their mind is to make money by fooling investors. Their hungry for money makes them find a way to trick people by all means and succeed. I have no clue what else we can do because even though we spread awareness but still, a lot of people become a victim.
I guess, we have to accept that these scammers are a part of crypto journey and no way to rid them.
1503  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't invest Heavily ALT now on: October 24, 2022, 09:16:20 AM

Obviously bitcoin is the best and safest among all cryptocurrencies especially for the long term, and prioritizing bitcoin is the best option but that doesn't mean some altcoins are unprofitable to do so in the long run.
I still trust some of the top and oldest altcoins I own besides bitcoin and all for the long term, and for bitcoin I do DCA during the downturn because it's a great time to grow ownership gradually.
Yea, some people might misunderstand and generalize that altcoins are shitcoins because we still found potential coins.
But of course, having more share funds allocated to Bitcoin is a great idea. Apparently, this is what I always do for many years because the risk is not quite high compared to putting huge amounts into altcoins. However, it was not all about investing potential coins, not even it gives 100% assurance to have ROI but also matters the way we manage our investment.

Ginebra is currently 4.95 ML. I guess there's no chance they will win against the Magnolia, seems like Magnolia is really a legit team and they will continue winning. I bet on Ginebra -1.5 before the game, now I'm hoping miracle will happen but I'm not adding my bet anymore.

If you believe in Ginebra, you could have won that 4.95 ML bet, haha.. But anyway, congrats to you because you still won your bet, they had a big run in the 4th and that's enough for them to win, their defense was really the key to this win, hopefully they'll have that kind of consistency.
1505  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Currency should be Integrated into School Curriculum on: October 23, 2022, 12:36:42 PM
introducing cryptocurrency in the world of education is an important thing in my opinion. because in the digital era like today, of course, all the needs of people's lives will gradually follow technological developments. like cryptocurrency in my opinion is part of today's digital technology.
Let us say that teaching crypto in school is a good idea but of course, we consider the ages of the students to teach as this seems more difficult and techy than other subjects. Teaching this in very young minds is inappropriate in a situation where it was hard to absurd it in their minds. Some companies are are also conducting trainings and seminars that discuss crypto and it was also an alternative way of learning and I think it was been more effective as these people are known willing to learn, unlike in school - some students might hard to understand.
1506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 23, 2022, 12:33:21 PM
Denver Nuggets will definitely keep him for a long time and just surround him with good players in the next seasons to come.

Of course, Jokic is a very valuable player, and the Nuggets management is well aware of that. As you probably know, the Nuggets agreed and signed a 5-year contract extension with him early in the offseason. So the Nuggets have already kept him for a long time since his current contract will only expire after the 27-28th season. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Jokic plays for the Nuggets his entire career.

Yeah, Actually Jokic is the most valuable player for in NBA right now since he is good on both offense and defense while he is still young,  The only reason why Nuggets still don’t get the championship or even close on WCF is because Jokic has no solid team mate that can cover him while he is resting. Nuggets play is centered to Jokic which is the reason why they are always being beaten by strong teams on playoffs but Aaron Gordon is now improving well and probably he will be one of the key player on Nuggets to help Jokic.

It will be a loss for Nuggets if they let Jokic be traded since they are the one who develop this player since his rookie days.

They don't have Murray, he was injured last season so Jokic had to carry the team. However, since their offense heavily rely on Jokic, they became so predictable and they have no answer on a good team like the Warriors. I hope they will improve this season, well, they've proven they had improve because they beat the Warriors on the road.
1507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: determine a good project on: October 23, 2022, 12:10:51 PM
A bear market isn't only a chance to stock up on cryptocurrency at a discount; it may also serve as a wake-up call about how unforgiving the actual crypto world can be. Money is not always an instrument that can make us very wealthy overnight. Learning the ropes of this world the hard way is sometimes necessary. Tell me the ins and outs. How can we ensure our success? The best way to choose tasks, etc. When we take the time to contemplate and take advantage of this opportunity, we may observe the bear market from many perspectives and realize it isn't necessarily a negative thing.
I consider the bear market is an opportunity to accumulate more potential coins. A time also to determine which project is able to survive and retain its clients. Every time we are in this market situation, most people are worried about their investments because they are thinking that their invested projects will fall and lose their money. It was a common assumption but sometimes becomes realistic because of the point that many investors got fooled by broken promises and scam projects.
1508  Economy / Economics / Re: Corruption Should Be Taught From Young Age on: October 22, 2022, 01:23:43 PM

In addition to all of the aforementioned factors, I believe corruption in society can be combated at a young age. This means that students should be taught about the negative effects of corruption in society and how it may influence them in the future, outside of the classroom.

I've found it not a solution but instead, you are just trying to implant these young minds how the corruption and they'll soon try it once the grow old enough to join the government. It was not simply to teach these young minds how to correct this unstoppable corruption in society and you can no longer say they are the solution to this situation because we are not sure, they are one of these corrupt leaders in the future.

Though it is good to be taught but never think they will follow it. Politics is even more powerful and could influence people.

Ja Morant dropped 49 points in their game against the Rockets! Jalen Green also did great and there's no other front-runner on this team despite being one year with the team, his contribution is enormous, and not surprised that he's got the second pick for round 1 last year.
Those that haven't watched some games of Ja should start watching him. Although he's got some bitter statements last time against MJ, this boy got really has something to show aside just from being athletic.

Houston Rockets played a surprising game versus the caliber of Memphis Grizzlies. Jaren Jackson is out and he would have made the difference. A playmaker is in demand at Houston to make their plays work better.

Ja Morant is a really talented player and he showed it to us as early as his first year in the NBA. His confidence is over the moon and it made him look bitter but absolutely not bitter. He is just cocky. Not a good indication because it turns into arrogance and pride when he gets old. Jalen Green was also cocky in his first year and paid it when he was outshined by the other rookies for the Rookie of the Year.


Jalen Green will improve under the Rockets, I would not be surprised if he gets a max contract with his performance, that's the luxury when you are playing in a team where there's no superstar, you would really build yourself into one since the coaching staff has trusted you.

TNT is -9.5, is it worth taking?

TNT has been winning double digits before they lose to NLEX, so most likely they will again bounce back with a double-digit win.
Who among here is brave enough to take that spread? By the way, the first game will be this 4:30 pm, still plenty of time to bet.

That's a nail-biting win if you have taken that option for TNT as they only led by 10. It's very close all through out the game, good thing that they pulled away in the fourth quarter but i have not bet on that game because i'm hesitant of the spread because Blackwater Bossing is not a push-over team this conference for me.


Congrats @Russlenat, I hope you were thrilled in that game, LOL... at least you still win although you'll feel some nervous watching the game. Now, TNT is back on the winning track, let's still continue to back them on their next game.

Betting for the Meralco Bolts -2.5 @1.8 in the second game, hope they win and cover this not so wide spread.
Both teams are desperate to win tonight, I think the safest bet is under.
1511  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Metaverse still a thing on: October 21, 2022, 09:35:33 PM
I've heard of news not so long ago about Decentraland, one of the biggest and most funded metaverse projects out there having a measly daily active users of less than 40. On the other hand, Meta, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's answer to Metaverse has been receiving flak in multiple aspects of his still in-progress creation. I also noticed that less and less projects include implementation of their project or a fundamental of it in the Metaverse as a form of future-proof answer. So this begs the question, is Metaverse still the future? is it just a fever dream we once had that we are now waking up on?
Facebook is been pushing forward the acceptance of meta into their platform. In fact, they are conducting some seminars in order to extract ideas on how this thing it works. I really appreciate their idea knowing that it is very important for people to clearly know the role of this in this new generation. Though couldn't pinpoint where this metaverse will go, however, I foresee the idea is acceptable to some people. Though not it hits the taste of everyone at least there are some who are willing to enjoy their life with this new technology.
1512  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Total newbie question about day trading crypto on: October 21, 2022, 01:58:23 PM
Well, the choice of Coinbase or Coinbase pro to use for trading is good but you have to consider their features if that will fit you and where you become comfortable. In order to see their difference it is best to try them all. This is just also a way to verify if those things that you have seen in videos are true or just something articulated. Just like we did on other exchanges, the only way to find which is better and where we become confident is to try.

I say to you that "don't rush" we can dig more and gather ideas through research but it is best to spend a few bucks in real trading just to asses which is one of them is better.

This fight is better than we continue to expect a Crawford vs Spence fight that is not gonna happen, they keep hyping it but in the end, they will just disappoint us. I'm not familiar with David Avanesyan, but according to his record and some highlights, this guy is a legit challenger.

What a devastating loss for Terrafirma against Bay Area, it looks like an exhibition match for Bay Area but those are pros.
I don't know what's happening with the system of Terrafirma but they have to address that if they want to stay with the league. Bay Area enjoys a big lead since the start of the game, they don't want to take this easily and the result was a very huge gap between the score. What's next for Terrafirma after this?
They will keep losing because they don't have the roster to be competitive this season. It's necessary for them to make big changes next season, and learn from their mistakes so they will improve like the Blackwater. The spread was high going to that game, but it's not a problem for the Dragons as they easily covered it.
1515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 20, 2022, 01:56:03 PM
It's a been a long while since they are in that same spot if I remember it right, this team don't have that capabilities to compete with super teams and they are not doing anything to change that fate, the selection that they've got is not enough beating an ordinary squad what more facing SMC and Pangilinan group? Though they are still in the league, but maybe you are right, the chance of leaving the league is possible to happen if there's no improvement coming from this team.
They've been the Bossing 2.0 while the former has become a good team recently and stepping up since they've got plans of getting out of being stuck at the lowest.
This team has to go with the same experience until they realize that there's a need to change everything. I commend the Bossings when they've made meetings and talked about how and what they must do to get out of their former bad situation in standings. But for Terrafirma, we don't know if they're realizing it now.

I think they already realize their mistakes as they are in a long losing streak already. Maybe they just don't have the players that knows how to win, they are not inspired because this team is just a farm team and they know if someone step up, eventually he will be sent to a good team and they will struggle again.
1516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 20, 2022, 01:33:24 PM

Pelicans ready for a deep run this season ? I hope so...because the hype around this team floats in the air for some years now and we haven't saw anything great from them so far.

They are more confident now, you can tell with the way they played, they didn't get intimated by the Nets although that team was a good team having Durant and Irving. With a healthy Zion, I think they will be a tough team to crack as they can attack inside and they have the height to grab that offensive rebounds if they'll miss. Just imagine, Zion using his body to get inside and they also have a Ingram who is a great perimeter shooter.
1517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would the world be if Bitcoin wasn't created on: October 20, 2022, 12:33:26 PM
Facts and this is the same stance I believe too. We definitely wouldn't have known what that world would be like cos we didn't experience it so, we would have still been stuck in our old financial was of investment and just trying to make do with what we had but thank God for Satoshi Nakamoto for this GREAT innovation which is changing most peoples life, me included.

Yes, it is really hard to imagine what will happen to us without the existence of Bitcoin but I think, what is happening now is the result of the continuous development of technologies. The existence of Bitcoin, changes a lot, especially in the digital world. But not to deny that despite the positive impact of Bitcoin on our life, some are also claiming this is a threat to other areas like banks and security. I understand the situation that people may not use the banks anymore and also have no control from the government but I'd see the benefits we get from this are more than enough for such bad claims and negative thoughts.
1518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Realizing the value of holding cash on: October 20, 2022, 11:50:12 AM
Those who buy on a bull run they should understand it is a short term trend and they shouldn't hold it any longer but what I found they were tempted by the bull run and thought it would continue to go up indefinitely and they weren't targeting profit when it entered so they weren't headed in gain profit as a result only loss.
Because they never thought that drops will come shortly after they bought Bitcoin. Usually, we assume that bull season will stay longer. Though we are aware of the possible dumps, it was not in our mind as we enjoy buying neglecting the risk that one day or even by tomorrow bear market will begin.
Sometimes, we thought that holding during the bull season will give us more profit but instead, this is also a reason for our losses and missing the opportunity to sell them high. I was a victim with this mindset last 2017, that is why I'd never do this last year - I sell them before the change of its course.
1519  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bad advice can still be gotten from forum. on: October 19, 2022, 03:05:04 PM
You OP could assess if that advice is good or bad. But in this forum, you can expect those things and it was you to sort it up. Ignoring is the best thing to do as we can't stop seeing those things knowing that the forum accepts all opinions from different people. Sometimes I receive PM from some members and I don't spend time replying to them unless it is necessary. So, if you think it was not good, don't bother yourself to deal with it but rather go straight to what you expect from others, maybe somebody could fill some satisfying advice.
1520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 19, 2022, 12:43:56 PM
It seemed like there's no improvement for the Lakers, despite of the addition and the changes, they still look like the old team that struggled last season. Lebron James alone cannot carry this team anymore, especially against a good team like the Warriors, if they want to win at least in the West, they should be competitive enough to give the warriors a real game, not playing like there's no urgency of winning.
I think they're currently on process to create a strong roster, I think Beverley is should be replaced since he's not a good shooter and he's already older, so there's will be no improvement. Lakers is also lack of guard position which is currently Walker IV play in this position, his performance isn't good since he mostly can't block, but since he's still young so Lakers might take consideration to let him play.

Lebron James still good even though he's old, it will be a nightmare when Lebron James leave Lakers in the next few years.

I don't know mate, they have enough time to form that team and that chemistry that is needed but it looks like they didn't match the Warriors intensity in their first game. I have a feeling that Lakers might struggle again this season and worse is if they won't make it to the playoffs.

With a healthy they should be a strong team, but without good chemistry it's still useless.
