Based on the chart, it looks like Bitcoin has everything aside from history. But I believe people give value to Bitcoin not because of those things, it was because people see this as a profitable investment compared to Gold. Do those things really matter to the investors? Maybe some but for the majority, it only takes for granted. And despite the risk in crypto, many had chosen this knowing that earning a profit isn't impossible and they can possibly make money every day like if you are a trader. It serves as an investment and a currency as well - that seems to be the advantage of Bitcoin.


people want to have money - that is the only thing on their head - and bitcoin is the best option - no doubt
But there is hard work associated to it - which people are not ready to make.
Money is all they want at any cost. sometime it is the cost of mental peace of other person
Too bad to say that because of thinking MONEY, they'll turn greedy and it becomes a reason for their losses. It was important for us to widen our understanding of crypto and not just only think about earning a profit but also to discover its real function and which was a form of currency. It was indeed we see how beneficial it was over gold and it was very clear to us the huge difference which makes people choose Bitcoin.
1642  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 10, 2022, 02:09:38 PM
It's the 3rd fight, so if there's another fight, it will be the 4th. If that will happen, then it's okay because these two are great fighters and they can give real entertainment unlike other chances who are boring to watch as they just want to score and run, this one they do a toe to toe fight, that's why the fans are asking for this fight.

If Golovkin wins this fight, then he may decide to retire. Even if he decides otherwise, I don't think that he will agree to another fight with Canelo. He has repeatedly claimed that he was robbed of wins not once, but twice. So why should he give an opportunity to Canelo, to get even? But then, there will be a lot of ifs and buts. Given the asymmetrical betting odds, no one in their right mind would think that Golovkin is a favorite to win this match. As I mentioned earlier, I have placed a small bet in favor of GGG. But even then, I am not being much optimistic.

That's another option, but if you will ask me, why would he retire if he can still make more money fighting Canelo again?

Here's what I'm thinking that could happen, If GGG cares more about his legacy, then retirement is the best option, but if he cares more about making more money before retirement, then he will continue to fight, whether it's Canelo or another fighter.

GGG will receive all the praise if he can beat Canelo because it's his biggest rival and people think Canelo is better than him, and the fact that he is a heavy underdog now compared to the last two fights, he will get a sweeter victory here. Both will have their own legacy, but GGG retiring after beating Canelo, that's a big statement.

So Coach Luigi Trillio is one of the candidates of becoming the head coach of the team and I think it's expected (at least for me) knowing how he handled the Bolts last playoffs. We also saw Coach Jong who has been a head coach in PBA years ago. No idea who the 3rd coach is since he is in the UAAP and I'm not watching UAAP games.


Most likely Dulatre's job will be very short because they will find a more experience coach to head the coaching job, however, there's still plenty of time for coach Dulatre to prove to the management that he is deserving to be the head coach, I'm sure that's also his mind as no one would want an assistant coach forever.

That's a challenge for him, he was given a chance now to coach NLEX, so his performance is very important to pass the expectation of the management. if he can make this team successful, there's no reason for the management to look for a new coach, even if it's a popular coach, or even if it's coach Tab.  Grin
There's always a big expectation for the coaches to deliver the best system and it is indeed a good exposure for coach Dulatres, if NLEX will finish on a good position in the upcoming conference, most probably he will stay with the team to continue the system. We cannot expect him to perform very well on his first year, there's no coach that can make the team better again in just a short period of time, usually for you to have a good system it will always take time. Even the top coaches can't make a good team from a scratch, it will always depend how they work on it.

He is not new to the team as he was the assistant coach, so the system is not new to him, if he see something to be fix, then for sure he would do that to improve his team and he will get the credit as a coach. Remember, when coach Yeng left ROS, Caloy Garcia which was an assistant coach that time was the one who assumed the post and he become the head coach for many seasons, until this time he was back being an assistant again if I'm not mistaken.

may be. but if you expect returns of up to hundreds of times in one investment it is still impossible. There are too many cryptos, we have to be smart to see which ones have the potential to be used as investment land, when we invest, adjust the target and dare to lose, that is the main point to make tens of times profit.
maybe, if you are here in crypto during the 2016-2017 bull season and also last year, you could really say that shitcoins are surprisingly growing more than these potential coins. This is the reason why many investors never neglect to invest and take risks in these coins, especially those who have been hyped on social media for they are thinking that x100, x1000 are even possible to reach. I don't disclose this chance because I've been experiencing this as I check my wallet and I found out that one of my bounty coins has such an impossible price gain.

Don't make yourself believe these people who claim themselves as an expert. In fact, it was you who can decide and even have the right to ignore their speculations. I would have to say that you have believed in yourself because people will not stop speculating what will happen next. Whether it was right or wrong, perhaps most of the time it was wrong, it is our discretion to agree or disagree with it.

You don't need to be surprised because some developers are doing this by hiring influential people to create such things in order to gain attention and market hype. That seems to be a market strategy.

So for those who are asking about the new coach of NLEX, the name is already revealed.

NLEX taps Adonis Tierra as interim coach

To be honest, I don't know this coach but since the management trusted him, then I wish them the best and I hope NLEX will still remain as a team that could compete against the heavy names in the NBA.
1648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 09, 2022, 12:40:59 PM

I like this one, actually, they should realize it, and give everyone a job so they can continue chasing their dreams. With plenty of competition in the NBA, it's just important to add more teams.. What would happen here is more teams means more excitement as they will also have fans or followers.

however, since it's just a rumor, let's not expect too much as this might not happen too.
They should. The only obstacle that I see is who will be the owner of the said team. It requires a load amount of money and is invested with a lot of risks. There's no assurance if it will click as it will demand the support of the people of Seattle and Las Vegas and also from outside the country.
Another addition to the opportunity it will give is for more European Players to join the league, we know some of them are aching to play in NBA and showcase their skills.

Investment risk is already part of it, but if you look at the team owners, most of them are making money although we cannot deny there are some who lose and just resort to selling the team, but looking at the chances, there's a big opportunity of success compared to failure.
1649  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are people doing except holding Bitcoin? on: September 08, 2022, 11:03:07 PM
Might some of these holders use their extra money to do trading while waiting for the perfect time to sell? Some might just do other business and leave the market for a while in order to have some peace of mind. And in this way, we prevent having stressful life while looking at the market chart declines. So, instead of checking the market daily, why not make ourselves busy with other stuff and enjoyed life?


For sure there are several ways to earn profit from different kind of investments possible. Not all people are into this "crypto craze" kind of investment, especially to those older generations. They would be more into stock market( not to generalize). Also in this industry, there are many ways to diversify your assets such as thru gambling (not really advisable), trading (as you've mentioned), staking, and the likes.The only goal is to earn profit. I even have a friend who functions as an 'exchanger' thru p2p to earn, I think he earns from his 'fees' or additional charges he puts in transactions. Small or huge movement; that won't matter as long as you are happy with what you are doing while earning ofcourse.
It was so-called "satisfaction" - in fact, some people are too greedy and not even satisfied with earning $100 a day but that is their life and they choose to be like that just like investing in Bitcoin or doing something outside crypto. As long as it was legal, it was a good way of earning a profit whether it was small or big because what is important now is we find a way to survive in the current situation as inflation is really affecting us.
1650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 08, 2022, 11:52:59 AM
So Canelo will be trying to find a way to get this fight, but Bivol could very well ignore him.

That depends if he think fighting Canelo is not gonna generate a lot of money, but still, we cannot deny that Canelo generates good PPV numbers and people are still watching him, so I don't think that losing against GGG is going to ruined his career, he can always come back, especially if he will beat Bivol on their rematch.
1651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 08, 2022, 11:31:11 AM
No update with his comeback, but he's on the bench during the finals. Though he's not in uniform but he fully supports the team and gives them some boost while cheering at the sideline. Base from the last repost, he is still in pain and he's trying to condition his body and with the therapies that he is undergoing right now, maybe we can expect him back after this new season (hopefully)


I think Romeo is already healthy, we might see him in the next conference, and just imagine, SMB won the championship even without him, just think how good the SMB having a healthy Romeo. Also, if he is still not ready, there's no pressure on him as the current roster can still manage to win.

There's no announcement yet, so it's just an speculation we have here. We love to see him playing again as we miss his fancy moves, for sure he can still play, maybe not a starting 5 but as part of the 2nd unit, they will be so scary because they look like a starting 5 for a weak teams.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you play online/offline without your wife or family knowing it? on: September 05, 2022, 09:23:45 PM
You can't hide it from her forever, so is better you just open up to her, no matter how you hide it from her definitely she will know one day and am sure she will be disappointed because you have been lying to her, so just tell her the truth and wait for what she will say, if she ask you to stop them ask her for reason why you should stop, if she is having a good reason then I think it will be better if you listen to her. Am sure if you are not addicted to gambling she won't say anything but gambling addiction is not really good it can affect you both financially and mentally.
And in the first place, we don't need to hide anything, especially from our wives otherwise, trust will change. I'd see better if our family will know what we are doing, in fact, it was just gambling, and the more they know about it, the more they will understand and even the reason that would stop our addiction. Maybe the concern is about financial matters that most of the wives won't allow us but this matter should be talk in both parties in order to avoid misunderstanding.

1654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 05, 2022, 12:54:56 PM
Yeah, exactly.

Too many things to consider by Butler and look at it as a challenge and motivation that he should throw some great punches that will prove that the fans are wrong and he's that great.

But still, we'll see it then if he's going to be that one great puncher against Inoue which we know that he can really win on this match even it's not yet started.

as I said in the post above, I didn't see any site putting Butler as a favorite, on the contrary most sites I saw are all saying that Inoue will win this fight. I also believe that Inoue will win
And that's why the crowd is with him.

Even not fans of his are also talking about him winning against Butler and this is likely a judged match already. But not until it's finished, we have to wait for the actual match to come.
Of course, everyone knows how good Inoue is, and we don't know Butler much, he won because Casimero was stripped with his belt, he is not really a real champion like Inoue whom he destroyed all his opponents.

Needless to say, everyone is predicting that this is going to be a match that will be won by Inoue.

100%, or if not maybe 95%.... Inoue is gonna win here, but if you will put a bet on him, don't expect an 50-50 bet, most likely your bet will only win less than 5%.
1655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 05, 2022, 12:12:45 PM
They had a huge problem in game 7, not having their coach is already a major problem, and Erram was unlucky he got ejected, he could be a big used to at least limit Fajardo, but he wasn't careful enough. What I've seen also is Mikey Williams not able to continue his good start, he was very limited in the 2nd half so Castro really has nothing in terms of help.
Chot's son subbed him in the very final game. Is it a coincidence? We don't know if it's just a coincidence or if it's planned. Too many problems existed on their end and that's already a sign that they won't have a good game 7.
Well, they should just do better next time. I saw how Castro tried his best but it's not really that enough when it's already too late.
They still have more conference to come and it looks like SMB and TNT will surely meet again in the upcoming EASL, since the top 2 PBA teams will be the one to represent for the this. EASL are compose of international teams, this can be a good exposure for the PBA teams. Well, we have to move on now and accept the fact that  SMB really deserve the championship. I can't wait to see EASL this year, I'm just wondering if this can affect the upcoming season in PBA.

That one are more exciting, it's an international competition and hopefully the players that will represent in FIBA are coming from the two best teams in the PBA since with this EASL tournament, they will gain more experience. SMB are now celebrating, especially JMF who won both player of the conference and finals MVP.

I'm not sure how reliable these paid signal groups are. We know that many scam and fraud happens on social media, particularly in Twitter and telegram platform. Can we really trust these people? I guess not... We don't need to pay someone who could teach us, there are a lot of trading resources online that are free. I think it was enough because learning trading couldn't be instant, it takes time and experience. So, instead of spending money to these paid groups, better make us of that money as your capital.
1657  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is trading gambling in another form? on: September 04, 2022, 10:21:06 PM
Gambling is betting something valuable on an uncertainty outcome right? Isn't this the same with Trading?/i mean even pro traders said out of 10 trades you can lose 4 and win 6, is this not a form of gambling? I had this argument with few of my friends that are traders some hours ago and I will like to here from you all what hou think about this.
Yeah, it could be a sort of Gambling as some people don't really know about trading and much more what they have to do which end up making baseless assumptions and analysis and if they are not too lucky, losses are really what they've got. I'd many traders have used this kind of (wrong) thinking and I think it was time for them to realize that trading is not about having luck, it needs good market understanding, TA, and much more important is we know how to trade. 
1658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 04, 2022, 11:41:53 AM
I think Coach Ham will keep on pounding WB as an attacker to create spacing and learn a kick out pass.



That's right, it should be the purpose, otherwise that strategy won't work if Westbrook is not gonna pass the ball. Maybe more than 50%, WB will draw attention when he drives the ball, so there are shooters that are going to be open, and I don't know if the Lakers have a consistent 3 point shooters that could play the role.

Westbrook is very athletic but not a good passer, that's my observation. Although I might be wrong because he used to average a triple double production in the game, but we all know sometimes he does stat padding, and if we compare his stats last season to his production in OKC, you can tell the big difference, so we can ask ourselves if he really is that good.
1659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 04, 2022, 11:17:28 AM
End of 1st half, SMB having the lead by 11 points.

The score now is 66-55, it was a high-scoring game, so the over will likely win. Smiley

Castro played, so TNT are now complete, but can they come back in the 2nd half and beat the SMB?
1660  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you thing about Terra team? on: September 04, 2022, 10:07:33 AM
I bought Terra when Fall about 2 months ago and now has a profit of more than 200%, I'm sure that Terra still has the opportunity to enter the top ranking so I suggest for investment, they are supported by a professional team and will not repeat the mistakes that have been made.

you still have faith in a coin that has been abandoned by its creator, i think you should take profits and leave them immediately if you don't want to pay a heavy price
you're lucky to have profited from the short-term hype of lunac, but that doesn't mean the project will come back, what you are getting into is just hype of the sharks looking for short term profits. in the long run, i can say it's really dead
It is hopeless, that was what I thought about this (scam) project. Because if they are really minding to correct their mistakes and wanted to gain back their reputation, they are supposed to work it out but sadly, nothing. It means that the team is no longer interested in building up and running back this project again, not anymore. Those investors who still have Luna, I guess need to accept that not all are too lucky and some of our thoughts can be wrong.
