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

do you know what are score-line odds for Curry tonight?
Curry is over/under 29.5.

Look, bookies are still confident with that line despite of the poor performance of Curry in game 5, I think Curry will have a bounce back game and will again score at least 30 points. That line is quite very tempting, I might take it.

Hi dear I want to ask to you about crypto trading, what do you recommend if I have 1000 USD and want to grow it by crypto. How can I do it safely and low risk?
The bolded one can be depending on you on how you manage your actual trade. It can't be guaranteed that whatever we say will help you it is because you are the one doing this. And in the first place, trading is accompanied by risk and no profit assurance. But I think this is not the thing we put in mind, if we have a plan for doing this see to it that we are also positive and our mindset is focused on how to improve our trades rather than being destructed with negativity.

But I suggest starting with a small amount while familiarizing the market, like having $100 is good enough. You can top some if you can assess yourself that you are ready enough to handle the market and stress.
1904  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Huge Down from ATHs. what will happen the next ? on: June 13, 2022, 09:52:35 PM
Oh, I was wrong in saying that Bitcoin will never fall below $25k. I could say now that this is the real bear season that people are waiting for and some are getting afraid of. The sudden huge price dive may be because of the issue with the US banning Bitcoin mining and market inflation. It is how sad to see the huge impact of that thing causing panic selling.
Quote
“The crypto market has been under pressure from the Federal Reserve, hiking the interest rates to combat inflation over the past few months. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most cryptocurrencies suffered losses over the weekend after a broad sell-off following the data showing US inflation hitting a 40-year high,” said  Edul Patel Co-Founder and CEO of crypto investment platform Mudrex.

Kinda be saying there is no perfect prediction, all of a sudden this makes it happen and everything has changed.
1905  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible for Traditional Banks to cooperate with Crypto on: June 13, 2022, 09:27:29 PM
They're not OP instead, they will fight against the growth of crypto as they think this was a threat to them. Because the moment that crypto becomes legal, many will no longer use the banking system anymore. Of course, this never makes them die or the collapse of the banking system, however, this will cause a downtrend of their possible income.

Digitalization is a new trend now if we see, Banks have also upgraded their system to cope with the demand of digitalization. This is a way to a healthy compilation against cryptocurrencies.


1906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 13, 2022, 01:42:02 PM
@YuginKadoya  Good choice.

I will most likely have 2 choices tonight. My first pick will be Golden State in the first quarter. (-0,5)
My second pick is Golden State wins in the first half. (-1,5)

Honestly, I'm not comfortable with this, I would rather pick Warriors to win 3rd quarter because that's their quarter. Although I believe that they will start strong at home, but the series has been very unpredictable and they have a very close competition in the 1st half, anyway, good luck to your bet.

As they say, follow the trend, well, that kind of strategy works as well but we also have to remember that Warriors are at home and they are playing well at home. We have our own choice, it's better if we really believe 100% before putting our bet so there will be no regret in the end.

Warriors is just a slight favorite, but I think they'll dominate most quarters.

They have not dominated all the quarters yet, in game 2, they dominated the Celtics but I believe that the Celtics won the 4th quarter trimming their lead to below 20 points after the game. In a game that is as crucial as game 5, I think both teams will play hard to win and take the lead in the series. I am more confident on betting the under now.
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ryan Garcia vs Javier Fortuna - July 19 on: June 13, 2022, 01:19:34 PM
I am going to support Ryan - I like his speed and his punching technique.
Unfortunate for him that he is struggling with mental health - I think he is talented and smart - he can focus on his fitness and can live his dreams

I like his confidence and boxing skills too, you cannot compare him to anyone because the guy is still young and have lots of room for improvement. After this fight, I hope he will have his time to shine against a worthy opponent as well. We also need to see him struggling in his practice to level up and beat his strong opponents. He needs to fight someone who is a threat to his current record so that he will gonna further stretch his kills to the max and upgrade his power and speed to outmatch his next opponents until he became an undisputed champion himself.
Despite of his issues on depression and mental health struggles, I can see that he is still ready to give Fortuna the best fight his opponent wanted. Seeing how Garcia fought in his previous games, I know this game will favor him. And yes, he all got confidence and boxing skills that i think will be more enhanced if he will be given opportunities to fight with most of the big time undefeated boxers, so that he can see himself too undefeated in his own chosen career.

If after that fight he take more serious trainings and deal with much heavier sparring sessions, I guess coming in this fight he will be more ready, he's trying to hype his name and the only thing that he needs to do is to win this fight and find a new challenger that will create more noise for his name. We don't know how things will come up, but everything will be settled once he steps inside the ring and showcase his skills, then wins against Fortuna.

Garcia's camp knows the big potential of him. They will bring him back to find the rhythm and try taking down Fortuna in a solid way

 of knocking him down..

Another easy challenger, but this time he needs to be more impressive if he wants to have a big fight with the champions that are waiting for him. They know that Garcia went through some mental and emotional problems, so they will see that as his weakness. Promoters are not convince yet, so they bring this another unknown guy just for Garcia to give a convincing win.
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: June 13, 2022, 12:51:01 PM
I don't like it because it means Warriors are losing game 5 and they will lose in the last game, it's not fun to watch.

You don't have to like it because the Warriors will not lose game 5, mark my words, I will bet my life savings for the Warriors in game 5 (KIDDING!). But seriously, this is the best spot to back the Warriors as they are back home and their chance to win at home is bigger than in the road.
Hey! LOL!  Grin
Yeah, I doubt they will let them steal another one in their hometown, that will be too much and it will raise a lot of questions to the team and the coaching staff about why they are letting it happen.
If Game 5 will be a sure win for you, how about Game 6? I am really excited about how this will end as the Celtics are also not backing down. They proved a lot in this playoffs and more.
Let's just see how Game 5 will be and maybe we could dissect what would happen in Game 6 afterward.

Whoever wins game 5 might be the NBA champion, that's my guess. If the Celtics win game 5, the Warriors will be pressured and they might struggle in game 6, so game 5 is really a must-win for them, no excuses, Curry has to score 43 points again if that is necessary for them to win.
1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics. on: June 13, 2022, 11:57:36 AM
Warriors have put in great defensive efforts coming into the playoffs and have been very dynamic coming into it. It have puzzled many an oppositions on how to make offensive plays for a defense that is consistently changing. They are most likely to win the series from the looks of it. Celtics need someone to take charge into the offense and the bench needs to pull their own weight.  Hopefully we get to see another game 7 in the series. I'm sure the NBA in general would love for that to happen.  Wink

If NBA would love that, does it mean they will rig the game to ensure that the series will reach game 7? If this is business, then most likely we will see that and I think Warriors winning game 5 is a must because Celtics will bounce back in game 6.
1910  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Newbies: Don't panic and learn to hold on: June 13, 2022, 11:33:50 AM
This call is not just for newbies but this is for everybody. Maybe for old-timers, this is not hard but still, many of them have not appreciated the word HOLD, it is somehow they got influenced by their negativity. In fact, looking back on the surge of panic selling in the last bear season, it can't be possible if we still don't value this thing (hold) this time.

I think this was the time to open up our mind and think about what we can help the market as panic selling never contribute positively but rather seeing negative results. We don't just ask but to encourage everyone to become strong and let this bear season pass worrying about nothing.
1911  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for June on: June 13, 2022, 09:08:12 AM

If you are a supporter there is no good or bad season because everything is for our belief and trust that is how crypto supporter must be .
I am a Bitcoin and altcoin holder , for year there is a currency that stays in my Wallet till now.
but of course Bitcoin stands not permanent , i try to buy and sell at the time cost , risking my funds? but gaining for trust.
Perhaps you are right.

 * Bear season - is a good time to buy
 * Bull season - is a good time to sell

Every season is a great opportunity, sometimes we don't appreciate it because we are too blind to see the positive side of it while others do. if we can afford to buy during the bull market, then we don't make an excuse for the bear season of not buying again. Indeed, as we trust our invested coins we no longer had to feel disappointments and worries as surely we can make a profit out from them someday.
1912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good time for alts on: June 13, 2022, 08:10:00 AM
i think its took 3 years before the market is bull again idont know but ihop this bear market is short term not a very very long term again.
We are in 2022, the market would likely be bullish by 2024, but also in 2025, so we can say it should not take more than 2 years again as we even about to finish the first half of this year's in less than 3 weeks time. This bear market would end by this year if my guess is correct, but there would still be some mild bears and bulls market until massive bull market would come.
If your guesses are right then people are also happy to see that. But what I think is a big opposite on your guesses coz what I think the market will be in spike again during halving. So, it's probably 2024 - but I know people can still wait for that moment to come.

Anticipating the market, fill our bags with potential altcoins - all we gonna do is to take this bearish time while it was not too late. Otherwise, we are going to blame ourselves back again just like it happen before which we just ignore this.
1913  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto scam increasing on social media on: June 12, 2022, 11:48:20 PM
Crypto scam is somehow a part of the society the government regulation on social media like in the case of exchanges is impossible because exchanges are more centralized because each user is entitled to a single account with KYC verification with regards to the account but in the case of Social Media account get hacked for scam purpose and multiple accounts can be owned by a single user making it more difficult to get regulated.
The government can actually regulate the social media based on what they've been investigating and the cause of it.

Each region has their own way of preventing these scams to be lessened down depending on the ruling because if the scammers are from the other countries, it's really hard to eliminate it unless they can solely remove them from the platform if proven to be against the rules of the social media platform.

As a citizen and a user of a social media, we should be responsible for our actions and the usual tip from our parents of not talking to strangers is applicable.
How are they just ignored while scams have been rampant on Facebook? And they did nothing before numbers of individuals become a victim. Though it is our responsibility to know if that is a scam or legit investment, yet it was also their participation to regulate and restrict such activities. I know they can't be blamed solely but it was us who are greedy of not thinking about it earlier before losing money to these scammers. This means that we can't rid of these scammers as for sure they will find a way and always there is a way knowing that many people remain innocent despite awareness.
1914  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How has SEC contributed to the blockchain industry? on: June 12, 2022, 09:52:08 PM
Perhaps, what they did in our country is to send awareness to the public either on social media platforms or on television (news) in regards to crypto scams investment.
I was thinking their role was to protect against the rise of scams and stop the mindset of easy money and quick-rich schemes as this does not really exist in real life. However, I'd find this less effective rather than restricting the social media allowing this to publish because many were still falling into scams and Ponzi schemes.
1915  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can anyone explain what is the value of meme coins? on: June 12, 2022, 09:27:48 PM
I am confused that there are meme coins whose prices are sky rocketing but I dont see any real value these meme coins are providing
Utility case is not the only way that meme coins prices will skyrocket, sometimes they are also hyped that makes them temporarily profitable. But knowing that any hype has eventually its end, then that's the time meme coins start to drop and eventually lose their value. This is why meme coins should be avoided in the first place because they're not making us profitable in the long run. Although some have been profiting from them for a short term, but there is also high risks and that anytime you will still end up losing what you all gained.
Hyped projects like meme coins are just ideal for a short-term deal, we can never think they couldn't be able to sustain the competition, they will certainly lose their value. Thinking about Dogecoin as a long and existing meme coin, it is somehow lucky that this project has been supported by a known market influencer, or else, it has been dead already.
Thus, if we want money protection, we tend to stay away from them...there are a lot of potential and long-term investments that warrant a better future.
1916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics. on: June 12, 2022, 01:40:15 PM

Who do you think will have more chances to win these finals!!?

GSW if we are considering there experience and home court advantage but this is still basketball and we didn't know for sure the actual outcome unless the game ends. There is no dominant team between the 2 grand finalist team so it's hard to a quick analysis unless a team manage to win consecutively in a convincing result since all the 4 matches is a close match, they just get the huge gap on the last quarter until it can't be overcome due to insufficient time in the clock.

With that in my point, I will go for GSW but not 100% since Boston is really strong to handle.

Yes, they should not underestimate the Boston Celtics as they really had a problem beating this team. The series is now tied, so we are already in the exciting part, don't know if the Warriors can win twice in a row as it has not happened so far in this series. They need to break the trend if they want to take the advantage in the series.

Boston can steal a game on the road, they have proven that many times already in the playoffs, so it's possible that they can beat the Warriors in game 5. That's why the spread is only -3.5 for the Warriors because bookies believe that Boston is a tough team even on the road.

The 1st 2 quarters doesn't matter to both teams as they are good in 3rd quarter and 4th quarter where we can see a real competition.
1917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: June 12, 2022, 01:12:28 PM
What an intense game, but in the end, Ginebra still manage to win.

I like the Blackwater here, they have become a competitive team already. For Ginebra, Thompson almost has a triple-double, his numbers are huge.

points - 14
rebounds - 16
assists - 9
1918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 12, 2022, 12:46:35 PM
Unbelievable that the Celtics couldnt even score a basket in the last 4 mins and couldnt get many stops either, to stop the flow and gain back the momentum. Incredible performance from the Warriors to have made the comeback away from home. Now the series is tied 2-2 and a lot of things to ponder for the next couple of days for the Celtics. They have to regain their confidence and get the offense flowing against the dynamic defense set up of the Warriors.

There are times that luck is not in our side. And that's what happened to the Celtics. The Warriors did some incredible defense but it was also with luck that prevented Celtics from scoring in about 3 to 4 minutes. The Celtics attempting many three point shots too, maybe they should tried driving the ball because they are bigger and more athletic.

Clearly as we approach to game 5 the Warriors are already in momentum. Celtics will have to put more defense especially to Stephen Curry because he was doing very well in this series.

Warriors cannot rely on luck alone, it was the Celtics who are the most consistent team so far, and tough they are now the underdog, it doesn't matter because there's still good value betting on them to win the series. Curry was just outstanding, if he can carry that momentum, then Boston might be in trouble.

They are the favorite to win, they are suppose to be the dominant team, but it seemed like Celtics are still underrated despite beating the Warriors in the previous 2 games with a decent margin.  I don't know if Celtics will be able to bounce back in game 5, but I feel the Warriors will use their home court advatange to gain a lead in the series.

Knowledge + strategies, if it will work together, you'll be earning a lot of money but sometimes it won't and that is why you have to lose.
 
However, it was to clarify the importance of knowledge before anything. You can't just ride the market too easily without even knowing the basics, that was true. But, we don't need to become full of knowledge, what we need is to become more strategical as this is the best tool in trading and investing. In fact, some rich people don't go to school, they bring themselves to the real world of entrepreneurship and learn from them. If we want to become a trader, therefore, we have to expose ourselves to it and stop watching youtube or any tutorials as this possibly will only confuse us. We can learn more base on our experience, not from reading books.
1920  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Forex trades is a part of Crypto Trade? on: June 12, 2022, 03:53:21 AM

I believe, it depends on the user how much knowledge he has when it comes to forex or crypto trading. Both have the risks of losing your funds, but it is your acquired knowledge and skills that will aid you in battling those risks. But the simple difference of these 2 was posted by mk4, so the OP has basic understanding about these 2 kinds of trading. And just to elaborate further for example in crypto trading, if you are long enough in this market, you can easily spot possible ponzi scheme, pump and dump coin or scam coin. So your trading will be influenced on how deep you know a specific coin.
We can apply to both of them with the same strategies and trading in general whether it was crypto or fiat related (like forex) knowledge and skill are absolutely required. And they all are risky.

Dump and pump can be experienced by both of them but in regards to Ponzi schemes and scam coins, these only exist in crypto trading IMO. In fact, this is one reason why many traders are preferred to use forex trading as likely to avoid losses because of choosing the wrong coins.

But the advantage in crypto trading is to have a lot of choices, unlike Forex. If we are new in trading, better to start Forex first, and gain some experience before moving to crypto.
