1661  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do you think bear market is affecting Bitcoin (Crypto currencies) so badly on: September 04, 2022, 09:38:56 AM
There are people who invest in bitcoin first time and for them, it is a surprise to see that bitcoin can go down to 70-80% from the all time high. A little bit of counseling might help them as it is not easy to see the portfolio down by 80% with calm.

Of course, there are those who buy bitcoin for the first time, but it is not correct to say that such a big drop turned out to be a surprise for them. Because if an investor chooses an asset for investment, then he must study its history, its growth and fall in the past, look at all the cycles. And in this case, the person will already be ready for a possible fall (I'm not saying that this must necessarily happen, but the investor will be ready for this). A fall is not always pleasant, but it is also an opportunity to buy at the best price.
Well, it was going to say that not all are sad about what is happening now. Business outside crypto could be something terrible and profiting low. Might be just the same as in investing crypto as it won't give us a profit instantly, especially during this bear season. Some people had considered this an opportunity but some had also thought negatively and worried about the incoming making them not invest and let the opportunity pass on.
The situation never affects the cryptocurrency at all but it only affects us mentally.

It is supposed to be the thing but unfortunately, this is even getting worse as scammers find another way to scam us.
Almost every day we spread awareness but almost every day as well we heard some people got scammed. This means that this is not really an effective way, it somehow could help but I think we don't have the chance to eliminate and get rid of these scammers in the community. This situation will depend on us and everyone should have to care of ourselves as these scammer will certainly be doing something.

This is a simple question, When this bearish market end and Bull run start.
Thanks
Instead of asking it OP, you may find yourself a place to comfort yourselves and wait. You may check the market next year because as expected that the whole year of 2022 is a bearish condition. It is really we need to be patient, not exactly we can dictate the market to what it happens and much more to know what will happen in the next couple of days, weeks, or even months. Just think about how long we have been suffering bear season before, I guess you have some idea when this might be over.

Keep or sell ethereum before the merge?

I've made some researches and found plenty of rumors saying that ethereum will dump after the merge and why's that? (short term)

Perhaps, the dumps can be possible this time even with the merging happens. It was just the FUDs circulating the market making people get worried that the ETH price will lose more of its value but we don't have any proof with the scenario, not a single thing. Besides, even to say it drops more but if we never touch it nor sell them, we have nothing to lose either.

Now, if you are a long-term holder, selling is not really on your mind cause you know it will recover after the dip (if there is any). Just like what I gonna do.

I can't believe the spread in game 7, this is very interesting because TNT is now +4.5, and 2.45 for moneyline.

Anyone, what do you think about the odds, for sure TNT backers would think that the handicap is very attractive.
Also, how about Castro, do we have a confirmation whether he will play or pass tomorrow?
That's an interesting odds and very attractive, how about for SMB what's the odds?
It's very interesting but without Castro I think I will not take it.

There's no news yet about Castro going back into game 7, I think this is a serious injury and he can't just go back for a short period of time but TNT badly needed him. If he is ok now, for sure Castro will be back for game 7 and that is something that SMB needs to be prepared. I still can't decide on where to place a bet, the odds are quiet interesting for both teams.
We have to wait, Castro vow to play but the decision is coming from the management as they cannot risk Castro's health by forcing him to play.
We can do that in live betting if we really need to make sure if Castro will play o not.
1666  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 03, 2022, 11:42:11 AM
I think it is the use of sauna that ban him from fighting and due to that, he was unable to defend his title twice which resulted in him being stripped of the title.

The bottom line is, that Casimero is having a weight problem issue that leads him to use the sauna. Aside from that, his camp was unaware of that policy under British Boxing Council. If only they are responsible, Casimero should be the one facing Inoue now. Don't want to happen the same situation with Jerwin Ancajas.

Back to topic, and as I previously posted here, Ancajas camp admits that they overtrained Jerwin just to meet the required weight.

That's why to solve that, they will cut Ancajas' training volume as one of the options to make him perfectly in good condition on the day of the fight.

So it's really on the burden of the trainer of Jerwin, he needs to ensure that he won't overtrain and will just be in the peak condition right before the fight itself. Maybe they think that having training volumes will cut his weight, but I don't think that is a good idea.

Again, they've seen their mistakes and saw how Martinez fights. This will be enough for them to make the necessary adjustment in weight, training volume and strategy so that Jerwin can get his belt back and then aim for Ioka in the future for unification.

It's not a burden, it's his job and he is paid to do the job. They hire a capable one, so 90% of the time, they will achieve the desired result. Ancajas is trying to become a champion again, it's his only chance in this division, so he should make sure he will get a win and be reading for a possible trilogy.

I couldn't just think and really amazed seeing India is leading the number of crypto holders and users. It was to say that people from there are really having trust and converted their money to crypto as a sort of escape from inflation. Imagining those numbers and if that also happens to other countries, I could say that crypto adoption and becoming a global currency is not possible.

Likely to see more and more countries will be added to the list a few years from now. I am very certain of that.

I will be worried if I'm gambling a lot of money in stake.com, thing is, I only gamble a penny, so whatever happens, I'm okay with losing the money. Stake has a good reputation, they are a big gambling site, so I don't think they will just easily give this fight up, they are only sued, no court decision yet, so nothing to worry.
1669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 02, 2022, 01:43:54 PM
So we have game 7, this series is very exciting although it looks like it's already scripted, LOL.

Anyway, in game 7, I think no team will be favored by the refs, so I'm thinking the better team will win, and in that case, I believe SMB is the better team.
Even though there is no such called a scripted plan, I see how these beer men perform on the court. 
1670  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it right time to invest in Cardano? on: September 01, 2022, 11:39:09 PM
Is Cardano (ADA) a good coin to invest in it for long term?
for the long term you don't have to be afraid if you want to invest in Cardano,
because Cardano is one of the top projects in the crypto currency world, all of their development is really good,
the technology they use is very useful, what CZ said is very true about the " good project must have a good utility too".
Investing a coin for the long-term gives us nothing, it is certainly a huge mistake and a wrong choice of coin. I can't afford to do that but instead diversify my portfolio and take another project that is potentially more profitable than Cardano. Might CZ is giving some hope to their investors but it guarantees nothing. Maybe taking some share of your funds (just a small amount) to fill your confidence but for me, there are more potential coins than this.
1671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 01, 2022, 01:09:50 PM

True, for the fans, its seems that Spence is stalling the fight, he even had a back up plan already to move to 154 lbs and face his buddy Charlo for 154 lbs. And he keeps saying that he doesn't need Crawford because his legacy has been cemented already but for us boxing fans it's not that case. You have to face the best in your division and see how is the best. So it will be a big question in his legacy if he is not going to face Crawford at 147 lbs and for the unification.
It seems that this is not the first time for him because indeed when he was busy with Manny at that time he also seemed to do the same thing as now.
Regardless of what he did for reasons that he thought made sense, it would still take a little longer than expected.
But some time ago I read that the contract agreement for the fight was almost done.
I hope that's true because we cannot wait to see this fight. We have been anticipating this fight, and now it was so hype, so we don't want to hear that this fight was cancelled or did not push through. There's no reason for them to delay the fight, it's an undisputed fight, both camp should be excited.
1672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 01, 2022, 12:32:03 PM

SMB defense needs to adjust. I'm looking for Cruz and Ross to play longer minutes together. They just need more conversions unlike what happens last game 5.


Exactly, they should play more minutes as they can play both defense and offense. CJ has to be efficient as well, he cannot repeat the same game he had in game 5, and we know that JMF can contribute a double double production, but without the supporting cast, SMB might likely to lose.
1673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 29, 2022, 01:01:06 PM
..... but I'm sure it will not be -3.5 TNT, maybe SMB will be the favorite next game.

For sure, otherwise, takers of SMB would be so happy betting on the Moneyline. I think the spread will be -1.5 for SMB just like in game 1. All I know is that the series has been so entertaining so far, so whoever wins game 5 is not a sure winner in the series.
-1.5 for SMB are more likely to be the odds, despite of theis loss they are still the favorite team here and for sure they will bounce back. Yes, this series is more entertaining, a different company fighting to get the championship never fails to entertain. But now the focus of many is still with the Gilas, it's good to have the lead against Saudi which should be the game ball or else, many will be mad again at the coaching staff of Gilas, I just don't like the boos of the viewers, they lose their respect.

That's fair, -1.5 for SMB would make the betting balance as there are some bettors who think TNT could lead the series after game 5. Last game started in a low scoring quarter, but eventually they found their rthym and their shots were falling. Lassiter's 3-point is very important, so has to make more contributions next game.
1674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: August 29, 2022, 12:19:01 PM

Btw, I read somewhere that if ever Haney and Lomachenko win their upcoming fight, Arum promised that the match between this two will happen early next year.

If that's true, then that would be a great match compared to this second match-up. Haney should finish Kambosos in a clean way with Unanimous Decision or Knockout so that we will gonna see some real fight next year. Of course, Loma needs to have a clean win as well. Anyway, this upcoming fight against Kambosos is a real pressure for Haney because Kambosos already have some idea of how he moves, and that would make Haney want to try some new skills in order to avoid his opponent counters.

Both Lomachenko and Haney have a fight, and I believe both have respective easy opponents, so there's a big chance that we will be seeing a Loma vs Haney fight. It's definitely a fight that is worth to watched because it's like a 50-50 chance for both sides.

Everybody loves to see a Loma vs Haney fight. However, I don't see Kambosos Jr. as an easy opponent for Haney. I mean Kambosos is the kind of guy that could go full 12 rounds with the same energy and stamina. Something that you'll never take for granted. Certainly, there will be adjustments from Kambosos camp for the upcoming 2nd match.
As much as the Loma and Haney fight is interesting, this 2nd match is also quite interesting to see how Kambosos will adjust in this 2nd match especially now that they have already tested each other in the first fight.


since haney's camp is already seeing the possible match-up of haney and loma, then, haney should really work on this upcoming fight and not take kambosos for granted. we should always remember that upset in boxing is always possible, and we had witnessed that a lot of times in the past months. haney is obviously the favourite here when it comes to odds, but we should not disregard kambosos' skills. kambosos knew he's the underdog in this match, so we don't know their plans inside the ring.

It will not be a surprise if Haney will win again, the one that should work harder here is Kambosos because his career is just starting to get better but if he lose again, he might have to start over again, which for some boxers it will lead to early retirement.
1675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 29, 2022, 11:56:12 AM
There’s no doubt about the performance of TNT in game 4, in almost field they work great and with SMB struggling with their passes and offense, the result is too bad for them. The series is tied what we can expect next is both team will surely want to take the lead and only those who work hard and execute their strategy well will surely win, fixing game is not real in a series like this, and let’s see who will take the game 5 because right now it’s really hard to predict.

SMB should fix that problem. Also, the one where June Mar is trapped inside, and the ball is getting stolen by smaller guards. It is their time to adjust now because TNT seems to find that sweet spot where they can defend the onslaught of June Mar. They also should limit their turnovers. TNT was able to convert 15 pts from turnovers. They also have 17 points from the fast break. I think we will see big adjustments from the side of San Miguel to address that problem coming from TNT.
SMB has a good coaching staff and most probably they saw that problem that occur on their last game, they will adjust accordingly. With TNT, for sure they will continue to play that good strategy and have neck and neck fight with SMB, game 5 can be more thrilling and I can see a point of 200+ again in the game 5. This is a high scoring game with great team, who ever take the lead for sure will have more confident getting into game 6, for now let's focus on the odds first for the game 5.
Both have an outstanding coaches, they will do everything to win that's why the series is very close. We are now tied with 2-2 score, so games going forward should be very exciting to watch. Next game will be this coming Wednesday, there's no odds yet, but I'm sure it will not be -3.5 TNT, maybe SMB will be the favorite next game.
1676  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT WORTH WITH SUCCESS? on: August 29, 2022, 10:55:45 AM
Only a few people will buy and waste their money investing NFT projects and I wasn't sure if your NFTs can also be attractive or something.
Don't get me wrong but doing this is not a profitable idea. Instead of making NFTs hoping for something huge, better make yourselves comfortable in buying/accumulating potential coins rather than making yours. In this way, you are making yourself pretty easy, and yes, less hassle on your side.

Whether you like it or not, investors will soon forget about NFT and your project will no longer be seen.
1677  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bottom For Bitcoin? on: August 29, 2022, 10:21:53 AM
The answer is the same: nobody knows it. As of  now, the market is still going down. It could reach $12k, maybe. Nobody knows! If it goes, I will sell my Bitcoin and buy it again.

Is it the right decision, you should think carefully. As you say, no one can know whether bitcoin will go up or down, selling bitcoin now and waiting to buy it back at a lower price is too risky. We are in a bear market but there is nothing to say that bitcoin will break $17k again, probably won't happen. If you still have money and wait for the price to drop further to buy then I have no idea, but selling immediately and waiting to buy it back at a lower price is not recommended.
It comes to the idea that selling now and waiting for the next drop is kinda be optional. What I mean is that we can just do selling if we see a profit on it and use this money to reinvest. But as the situation is dropping more, I suggest staying on hold, and instead of thinking of waiting for the price to pump, it is better to take the current situation as an opportunity to buy more while waiting for the recovery. It was uncertain what comes next that is why we should be wise enough and think several times before making a step.
1678  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How will you handle this case on: August 28, 2022, 10:20:34 PM
I don't know how to handle this case, I have two junior brothers in my small town who lives opposite to my house, one help the other to create a trust wallet and 100$ worth of Ethereum was deposited into the wallet, two days later the fund was moved out to am unknown address, after asking few questions from the wallet owner I found out that the other guy has access to the wallet too, I believe he did the dirty trick because he never warned the wallet owner to never share his recovery seed with anyone..if you are in my shoe what will you do..
You can ask the other guy for he is the main suspect in this transaction. We're not sure if it is a scam trick but interrogation seems going to help a lot. I hope he would tell the truth behind this allegation otherwise, it is a need for you to tell the authorities. Well, the question is if the authorities will help you with crypto having no proof of such a transaction.

This gives a lesson to your brother not to simply give trust anyone. He better keeps a distance from that person as probably he can't be trusted.
1679  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would you stake stablecoins now? on: August 28, 2022, 12:52:53 PM
Of course, we should take the safest option as possible. But staking stablecoins is not really a good option for me, I felt not secure with them. I'd rather invest in Bitcoin and ignore staking for I know that my money is quite secure. However, I'd just think also that nothing will follow Luna's footsteps and I know for sure that we as investors are also aware of that incident which make us more careful in investing and in the next staking.

I could assume that you have been thinking that decision OP and that is reason why you have take that option despite the risks.
1680  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin do $19k again before a bull market? on: August 28, 2022, 12:10:27 PM

  If it happens that Bitcoin goes down to $18 or 19k, that will be the last time it will go that low this year, what do you guys think about this (Bitcoin experts in the forum)?

We don't know. In fact, we are thinking in the past few days that it no longer drops below $20k after getting stabilized at $22k-$23k. However, the situation is somewhat changing and it is now uncertain if it goes down to the bottom or rises again. Actually, we have no idea what really happen next, we can do some speculation but guess what, we just fail - most of us.

Currently at $19,134 in the CMC - just hopes it recovers these weekdays.
Anyways, I still have money left ready to buy if it drops more.
