It is very common that most beginners feel so lazy to know about bitcoin before going into investment . They acquire bitcoin without any little knowledge, when they are unable to bear the dip in the market it becomes a problem to them that affect them mentality .beginners needs to know about volatility of bitcoin and how to survive with it.
It was common for those who are born lazy and had no interest to improve their lives.
Investment as we all know is not for everyone and only a few people know exactly what they are doing than those who are not. I have to accept that I was not mentally prepared for investing in crypto and besides, I was also in doubt at first. Well, changing the course of our minds and the willingness to change our behavior make is possible, and this is what I am today.

Well I think the price of bitcoin will rise again it is just when will it rise again that we dont know. HODL is my motto because I am a true believer and I have been a true believer for long time. 

I’ve always believed in BTC for the long term and always said there was going to be volatility on our way to 100k just when is the thing we dont know.  My prediction is that in the year 2025 the price of 1 btc will be 100k to 150k in price. 

Well, considering that there is a continuous market demand for Bitcoin, we have to think prices will certainly be moving up in a few years from now. It was just the thing that we don't know when. However, we can't urge people to think the same as we think about Bitcoin in the future knowing that not all have a positive mindset.

Yes, as we believe this will happen (increase), holding during the bear season is what we need to do. And also, take this opportunity to accumulate more before we enter the next halving as surely prices will tend to move high.
1343  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: regulating cryptocurrency on: September 28, 2022, 10:12:22 PM
Why are many governments not regulating cryptocurrency?
Mang government still banned cryptocurrency and not regulating it. The reason for this is that they think that if cryptocurrency is legalized, activities like money laundering will increase in the country and dishonest people of the country will be able to easily do bad things like money laundering outside the country without the eyes of the government. Therefore, many countries' governments and countries' central banks are still afraid of Bitcoin. that's why many governments not regulating cryptocurrency

Whether banned or not, those social evils will never end and cannot be prevented, criminals will always find new ways to do it. Most governments are drafting regulations for cryptocurrencies instead of outright banning them because they realize it is impossible to stop its development. The enacted regulations will also benefit the government with a large source of taxes and thanks to these regulations, they will have tighter control over their citizens and their finances. For investors like us, this is a tight squeeze on privacy but this will help the market grow as scams get better under control.
It is the privacy and taxes concerns that make people against regulating crypto but if we see the other side and its purpose, it is somehow we can appreciate the idea of bringing on it to the crypto world. What I am just worried about is how the implementations are imposed, this gonna be a problem for might this is start abusing holders and investors which leads to higher taxes. I hope not but can't really expect good from this, especially in corrupt governments.
1344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 28, 2022, 12:18:10 PM

I think this fight is a already a go even if there is no contract sign yet. Too big not to happen, Inoue wanted to get all the belts, while Butler wanted to derail all his plans. The fight is still in December though, lot of time to prepare for this huge fight in Japan.

There's no reason this fight will be cancelled, with the ample time, both fighters will be able to prepare to give the fans an entertaining fight. However, we cannot prevent the majority from thinking Inoue will just dominate here, I hope Butler has something that would surprise the fans, if this will become a big upset, we will surely see a rematch.
I also don't think that this fight is going to be cancelled. Maybe they just have to sign the the contract in the dotted line. And since there have ample time, they might be just waiting for everything to be well written before they accept specially Butler since he is the one who is going to travel to Japan. And his team needs to know that everything will be secure including the venues and purse split and maybe a rematch clause, just to make sure that Inoue can get back his title, if he lost this fight.
Both fighters wanting to watch each other, so they will not cancel this fight. Remember that it's an undisputed championship, it's the biggest fight in a certain division, so let us not think negative, this fight is gonna happen and both will be prepared.

The game between Ginebra and ROS is very surprising, there's no way Ginebra will be able to come back in this game.

ROS now is leading the game with 49-72, and it seemed like Brownlee has been struggling with only 14 points so far.
I'm sure everyone has put their bet on Ginebra, but sorry guys, it's an upset tonight.
1346  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: All I need to teach my employees about Bitcoin on: September 27, 2022, 10:13:53 PM
Saving your funds than earnings more important. If you haven't been using any gateway to receive payment then try to use hardware wallets. It's good practice for crypto and your funds are fully secure. You can't teach your guy in a single day. Teach day by day and chapter by chapter. It's very important to learn double spending scams, so you won't have to lose. For that just make sure the transaction got 1 confirmation at least. So you are in a safe zone.
It won't take so long if the only purpose is to teach his employees how to receive and store securely the funds which I think is the only part they need to learn. For as long as they are interested to learn and could make their job well, they should have to do it. But of course, it was easier to hire people that also have some knowledge in crypto for they are possibly aware of the risk in handling transactions otherwise, OP will spend his time the whole day, unrested just to monitor the whole transactions every day.
1347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 27, 2022, 12:42:01 PM
PBA really making a huge noise a lot of drama to gather attentions maybe they are trying anything to gain those interests from the viewers. They are following the saying that even negative publicity is still a publicity, hahaha Grin Roll Eyes kidding aside, My personal take on that note is very possible, PBA is controlled by SMC and MVP they can simply request for that schedule to see how the visiting team play and scout them to make sure that they are well prepared before they met.

If this issue will be proven, surely the interest of those possible additional visiting teams will be lesser. They might not take that effort to join with the league that fully manipulated.

Manipulating the game schedules is too much and i don't think they did that because as per observation, it is usually the teams that exited early on the last conferences will have to play a game or two before the teams that have played on the semi-finals and finals of that conference, might be a sort of favor for them to extend their rest period.

Tomorrow, Ginebra will be playing against ROS, let us see if the arena will be filled.

If it's Sunday the Arena may be filled, but since tomorrow is Wednesday, I think they will not be able to fill the stadium. As long as the game is exciting, it will not only entertain the fans that are going to the venue, but also the fans watching the game live on their TV and those who watch through live streaming.
1348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is your diversification strategy? on: September 27, 2022, 12:19:24 PM
What just I did is that I discard coins that are not profitable anymore. I sacrifice myself losing a few bucks rather than waiting for many years for nothing but just a few cents. I usually check my portfolio quarterly and when I notice that there is an improvement, I started to look for coins that are not growing and replace them. That was not a hard task though...

Well, it was a good idea to check our investment very often so we are aware of what direction our portfolio is going and we can make some adjustments earlier rather than holding coins that are not contributing something.
1349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 27, 2022, 11:44:10 AM
I have read news that the Celtics players were caught off guard about Ime Udoka's case. Majority of them found the news in twitter like Jayson Tatum and so they are confused.

And then they are talking about how excited they are to come back this new season to do it all over again and duplicate what they have accomplished - go to the finals. But it seems that the players are affected by it and they are taking about the 'process', as they will be coach by Joe Mazzulla.

Well, they have no choice but to accept the reality, no more Udoka this season and probably the succeeding seasons as well, but they have a job to do, it's an unfinish job, they reach the NBA finals, it's time for them to win this time.

There's plenty of time to make the adjustment, the current coach is the assistant, so I'm pretty sure he is very much aware of the system and he just need to implement it, we were impressed by Udoka's performance last season, but he made a big mistake, so he has to face the consequences.

On the other hand, it looks like Tolentino going to the NorthPort is really a good move because he and Bollick are the top scorers of team right now. If he will continue, Tolentino will be the one who help Bollick offensively and after a few years, SMC and MVP will try to get him "again". Ooops!! Tongue.

I think this team is not a farm team but they cannot just match the offer of big teams.

Well, they need to play harder, they have a good line up now, good import, and a good coach that has a play that would allow everyone to play. Tolentino is just a talented player, but since he is now with the Northport, he now has more opportunities to help his team win.

Unfortunately they are since they just wait for the player to ripe before they can harvest those young stars. Also I will not get surprised if Bollick will be out on North Porth and go to either on SMC or MVP group because this is what mostly happen to their stars recently. If PBA management will change their current structure maybe they can get back the interest of their fans since if they continue to make this actions and will not care the fans sentiment then provably the interest might shift to other league and for sure this will be the start of their fall down.

Lots of superstars from this team before that was taken by SMB, some good example are.

1- Cabagnot
2- Romeo
3- Pringle.

They also won a championship already on their respective teams after North port, so you are right, we should not be surprise to see Bollick out in this team and will be playing in the best team in the PBA, either SMB or Ginebra, I guess.
1351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 26, 2022, 10:43:26 AM
^ He might be a slight underdog, but for me it's better if he will be a huge underdog here, so that it's a win-win situation for Ancajas supporters in terms of bet  Grin.

And maybe if he knows that he become the underdog here, it could added a extra motivation for him, some fuel to the fire and think that he really have to show up and be the champion again. A knock out win will be good. But if it doesn't come, and at the end of the fight he is declared the winner then nothing is going to affect on how we look at it. But it shouldn't be a boring fight (although Filipinos are not known to run, we are all warriors), and then we will see what will his next move is.

Agree with. It's good to place a bet on something that we really like to and the odds for it are worth placing a bet on.

Besides, regardless of the odds or how strong Martinez is compared to Ancajas, there's no way I will bet for the former for an obvious reason. But honestly, even though I'm looking forward to Ancajas winning this match, I still see Martinez still has the upper hand in this fight.

That's why on the day of the match, I want Ancajas to go all-out and reclaim the title that he defend several times in his career.

He did that in their first meeting, it's just unfortunate that he got exhausted easy and that's the reason why he lose power. Despite of that, he was able to survive but unable to win the fight for the obvious reason. Maybe he needs to play smarter this time, be more technical than just going all out war.
1352  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: leverage trading method and psychology on: September 26, 2022, 09:47:46 AM
Leverage trading is high risky task . i have using this method before and lost a huge amount of my assets . so first of all i will not suggest anyone to do Leverage trade . but if someone can consider that risk then they can try with bitcoin coz bitcoin is safe then another's coins for leverage trading and shouldn’t use more then 5x . but 3-4x is better for leverage trading every time.
Those who can manage to handle the stress in leverage can bring themselves to it. Because if you are not really confident about this and not well-prepared, I was sure you will end up losing everything you put there. Just like how OP makes such a decision and faces the consequences of it (losing). Actually, leverage trading and trading, in general, is not for everyone and therefore, we don't need to urge ourselves doing this if we are not ready and capable enough in the first place.
1353  Economy / Speculation / Re: What can we expect from this statement of Michal Slayer.. on: September 23, 2022, 12:23:04 PM
https://news.yahoo.com/bitcoin-could-return-68-000-135232771.html

Recently i came across this post Michael Saylor says Bitcoin could return to $68,000 within 4 years and hit $500,000 in the next decade..

The time line of 4 years seems very long... What's your opinion regarding this statement


Well, it is still just his own opinion and market manipulation and maybe he is right but never I should believe that because 4 years from now, that might be another bear season. Unless, if he will say 2 years from as halving will come during that time and expect Bullrun. Honestly, $68,000 is not quite too high but if we talk about $500k in the next decade, I can't imagine that price, it was overpriced and it was impossible. Imagine, $500k is too expensive and I can't say who will be able to take the risk from that price.
1354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 23, 2022, 12:08:38 PM

I also think that the coming match between Inoue and Butler will have a high percentage of ending in a KO.  Looking at all angles, Inoue has the advantage but we should always be open for an upset win which I think has a very low chance of happening.

Very obvious, some of the indicators why KO is most likely the result are.

1-Inoue is a KO artist. of the 23 fights, 20 of that are won by KO
ref - https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/628407

2-Inoue is the heavy favorite, so it's gonna be KO or TKO because Butler might not able to continue.
1355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 23, 2022, 11:28:42 AM

Wow, LA Clippers have a huge chance to be a champion this season, as long as John Wall will be healthy and he will still perform the way he used to when he was still with the Wizards, I think LA Clippers can make it to the NBA finals. I know we have the Warriors here, but I'm now rooting for a new team that is a great contender.
Hopefully, they stay healthy. I wonder if they will put John Wall into load management like they are doing with Kawhi. Wall is also prone to injury, so if they load manage him, they can prevent some serious injury. They are great team in paper, hopefully they can convert it in the court.

They can manage him for sure as the Clippers is a good team, and even their 2nd unit is very competitive, remember when Paul George was injured? No PG and Kawhi and yet the Clippers still remained competitive. I like the way they play as a team, to be honest, they are really good, and they'll get better once they are fully healthy.

The team is still hard to defeat even if Paul George and Kawhi wasn't there for the team, what's more if these 2 superstars will start playing side by side again? Another additional asset is John Wall, the current Los Angeles Clippers is surely a vicious team that will cause an alarm to the other teams in the league.

As of now, the good news is Kawhi Leonard's already back fully healthy but he won't be in the starting five for the meantime because the team can't afford to make errors this time so they will give Kawhi few minutes first before he will do some heavy loads.

Load management is very important, although fans hate this, but it's better than risking the players that has recently recovered from a serious injury. The Clippers can give Leonard a limited minutes, they can still win more games and most probably be in the playoffs, and that's the time where Leonard will play full time.
1356  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Microstrategy purchased again 301BTC. Is this a sign? on: September 22, 2022, 12:50:15 PM
301 BTC is a small amount and won't really affect the market. Microstrategy is probably just looking to lower their average buying price. I wouldn't be surprised if they continued buying if the price keeps going lower.
Not just a small amount. It is already a huge amount of money but never I think this will be used to manipulate the market and make a huge pump but seeing this some people, some companies are taking this huge correction to accumulate more.
I'd never see this will be the sign for the bear season to stop. It was not the time yet to think about it because even some people are buying more Bitcoins but there many individuals who are still selling their Bitcoins, meaning the drop is still possible.
1357  Economy / Economics / Re: Age as a factor depreciating some people of their dreams on: September 22, 2022, 11:50:56 AM
The older, of course, the more understand the meaning of life, many things I haven't achieved and now I am around 25 years old, 
Many people had achieved their goals and dreams in life at a higher age and that was because the experience makes them more hesitant to take risks and gamble on their future. But I think, it was better to start building our future earlier so we still have enough time to accomplish it and much time to prepare. Because we mostly observe, the majority have become more aggressive when their time is limited already and weak enough to handle things which I believe was a big mistake and wrong practice.
1358  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would you stake stablecoins now? on: September 21, 2022, 11:18:54 PM
Now the APR rate of stablecoins has reduced further . a month ago i seen Binance offer 10% interest for USDT & BUSD. but now thay reduced for 2% and make 8% APR. if we compare with our central bank interest then stable coin interest rate still good. coz our central bank offer us 5-6% of interest with huge terms & condition and Government vat .
That was the case that investing and staking stablecoins is not good. I'd rather take the risk to shitcoins if that's possible where if I was too lucky I could earn more. That was going to be practical but as we are here in crypto, we better look at the opportunity where we can generate income as staking stablecoin almost give us nothing. If we know how to trade, I think this is even more profiting.

But more or less so is everything else in Life I blv... and with the right experience in time it becomes easier to spot big plays.
Well, probably you can barely hear support for you and that was because they haven't been confident yet with the market. And do you think that was possible during this bear season? For me, it was impossible...
Just look what you have said, making $100k in a month from $50...I don't know what strategy you have used but just like with the other members here, I was doubtful as well. It was unrealistic, that is what I see unless if we talk about earning $1,000 or $10,000 that seems possible.

Yes, they remained competitive and even made the playoff. But it's better if the two superstars are healthy so that we will see the full potential of this team. And now they have John Wall to boot, so it will be exciting how far they can get this year. So might see Kawhi on load management, but as long as they are going to winning and be in the top of the West, then it will do good in the long run and it might prevent him from being injured again.

They now have 3 superstar, and I think John Wall would love to play knowing his team is a championship contender already. Not only they will remain healthy but at the same time, I like to see them building a good chemistry as that's very necessary to win a championship.
