2401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: March 15, 2022, 02:30:38 PM
because that would be his ultimate ticket if Donaire lost the fight with Inoue.

And Casimero winning the match against Butler will also lead to making another push to convince Inoue's camp to take the challenge. But actually, it's not on Inoue's hand but for the promoter. Inoue will surely accept any challenge as long as it was properly negotiated.

If you guys remember, after Casimero throws several trash talks to Inoue, the latter immediately asks his promoter to make a move to organize their fight.

Unfortunately, it fails, and that leads to Casimero facing Butler instead on a mandatory fight.

Yeah, I was waiting for it will happen but suddenly this mandatory match came in and Casimero has to take care of this first. Actually, they should fight because it was previously announced before the pandemic that they will fight, but due to the pandemic, it was canceled until Inoue's camp seems losing interest anymore.

If you'll ask me, on the promoter's side, Inoue vs Donaire rematch will surely make more revenue for them.

And sometimes we have to accept the reality that not all who never give up WINs, sometimes continue losing as they don't even bother to change their attitude and market strategy. That is why I said it wasn't a guarantee for us. Although we think that there is always a chance, however, if we never correct our mistakes, losing could still be what we get in the end.

Don't Quit but we have to do something to make it better, not just because we do hope. Winning will just happen if we work hard and efficiently.

By the way, the odds are out.

NLE vs Alaska +2.5
TNT vs Ginebra +2.5

https://sportsbet.io/sports/basketball/philippines/pba-governors-cup/matches


Thanks, I guess I'll skip the first one as it's very unpredictable IMO. However, I am very confident with my pick on the TNT vs Ginebra game, since TNT is in a twice to beat disadvantage, I will give the game 1 for the Ginebra, and with that said, I will go for the Kings ML in game 1.
2404  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why Does This Always happen? on: March 14, 2022, 10:57:02 PM
I always going to remember this scenario, not just only happens twice or thrice but very often. Sometimes I think negatively that trading is not meant for me but somehow, I realized that this is the meaning of market volatility. Just a sort of market coincidence and if we take down ourselves and then think we are unlucky, that seems it losses our confidence and the more chances that we got that situation all the time.

The situation can't really be denied but yeah, we have to believe the market and even think positively despite everything.
2405  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin value more if no Altcoins or not on: March 12, 2022, 09:53:29 PM

Is it true that bitcoin is not affected by the altcoins? I am thinking it would have been better if only bitciin is existing as it will have more value, though bitcoin can not be compared to altcoins in many ways as it is the first and the giant.
To see the overview of the market and see how it moves, Bitcoin is really independent. Imagine if there are no altcoins, people will have no choice and 100% of their funds will be put into Bitcoin. That probably the demand is too high compared today but if we look on the other side, that seems riskier putting eggs in a single basket and these investors are glad to have other options with altcoins.

We can say that Bitcoin is really influential but this never happens if there is no market competition.
2406  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What happened to my motivation on: March 12, 2022, 09:26:41 PM

THOUGHTS THAT OCCURS TO ME:
1. I just think to myself, what's the point when you can loose it all in one bad move.
2. Cryptos might be the way but fiat and all things tangible would still be around and sticking with them could be winning too.
3. Is one not involved in cryptos making some bad decisions.

We sometimes get hopeless because of our bad experiences in life. We sometimes thought that was the end of our crypto journey. We feel the disappointment and very downfall to our losses but maybe we have to understand that life never goes that easy always. Suffering the most difficult times makes helps us to grow older and stronger but if just let our emotion drives it, we surely become negative and totally lost our courage.

I suggest for you think deeply and remind yourself why you are here and why you are working hard? Maybe in that way, you can realize that all of these things is only a test. You can surpass all of these things if you will never quit.
2407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 12, 2022, 04:24:04 PM
Heat - Cavaliers was one of the decent games of the night. And just as I was expecting, Heat won by a 117-105 result. Heat were already highly favourite side to reach the victory in this game. Adebayo made a great double-double too. He had 30 points and 17 rebounds which were really impressive statistics. Heat are still keeping their lead in the Eastern Conference and they are going to be one of the teams that are going to be followed closely in the playoff rounds. And I wonder how far they will manage to go.

With the way Bulls are playing, I guess the only team that maybe can give them a good fight is the Sixers or Bucks. But they have a good 3-5 games lead, unless they falter near the end of the regular season, they could have sealed as the top seed in the East again. Although they don't have like a franchise players like other team, still the team is very cohesive with the addition of Tucker and Lowry and then Herro becoming one of the best shooter we have right now and could be the six man of the year.

As long as the Bulls will end up in the top 4, they will enjoy the home-court advantage and that would really help them.
Currently, they are at the number 4 but the competition is very tight.

Anything can happen in that ranking as seen above.
2408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from crypto influencers on: March 12, 2022, 03:43:43 PM
I tried to watch some crypto influencers on Youtube that is talking about different projects but I'm not following what they are saying. Maybe I'm just watching it just because I just want to watch that's all Cheesy. Unfortunately, these crypto influencers have a huge reach in their respective channels that is why there are some who are just following what they are saying and they will follow them until they suffer a loss.
We are watching them coz we the interest to listen to them, in fact, we gain ideas from them as well. Well, some are just telling the truth and some are not, it comes to be usual as these Youtubers might be got paid to promote and some base on their experience.

Quote
Either way, following the advices or the projects they are saying of these crypto influencers are a bad idea but just do your own research if you want to or maybe the best thing to do if you are lazy doing research is just focus on top 10 coins but being lazy most of the time will lead you to losses Smiley.
I'd listen to those influences that I feel are right, that I feel they have the real background in trading or in investing. To follow them is not a wrong idea but what went wrong is to follow people who are telling lies. As traders, we know exactly whose telling the fact but if we are noobs, that is something difficult.
2409  Economy / Speculation / Re: No FUDs will win the market on: March 12, 2022, 03:16:39 PM
FUDs are something that will exist forever. People will spread FUDs and people will fall for FUDs. There is nothing we can do. We can't stop people from not fearing or panicking. Those fears and doubts are very normal to have.
True. They are not going to be gone and every market cycle, there's going to be a new FUD to send the market done if it's too high. Giving and spreading the right information to the people is what we can do and that's the only thing that we can do so that everyone is informed about bitcoin and this market. Because the first thing that makes someone panic is by having no accurate information of what he's standing on specifically on bitcoin's market.
And they still never win, that's what I saw this time and OP got it right. Hearing them is just a normal thing, we don't mind them either. Perhaps, people had already learned what gonna happen to them once they got affected by this nonsense stuff, it will only create worry and uncertainty. Now that we know how this is being rolled out, I guess it was time for us to ignore them. This never gives us help, but this will ruin everything we planned.
2410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 12, 2022, 01:40:36 PM
The winner will certainly be Errol Spence, however, I disagree that he will be calling Terence Crawford's name after the victory. Spence might be using Floyd Mayweather's tactic where he will say no on an opportunity to fight the best to make the present offers increase on the next offer. Mayweather said no to Manny Pacquiao more than 2 times to increase the offer before he said yes hehehe.

I doubt that's the same case with Spence and Crawford. These 2 are nowhere to be near the expected offer given to Mayweather and Pacquiao. They are also nowhere near the popularity of these 2 boxing greats. Spence should not be arrogant to just keep silent and disagree with everything if he won the fight against Ugas. It's only Crawford that is left to unify all the titles at 147.

If Spence will keep on disagreeing with the call to fight Crawford, he will just be forgotten. Different from Pacquiao and Mayweather's impact on the community that even takes several years in the making, many still watch the fight.

Too much speculation is not good, let's wait for the result of this fight, and let's see how Crawford and Spence would react to a possible big fight. AFAIK, Crawford is already willing to fight Spence, so if Spence would say no, people will lose respect for him as a champion.

Now that the eliminations are over here are the picture of the bracket

Now the NorthPort and Phoenix will fight for the final spot and it will happen after 2 days. Do you think that this will be enough for Artis to rest knowing that he played 53 minutes tonight??

The TNT vs Ginebra is a really good match-up to watch. For me, this is like a PBA Finals because Ginebra is a strong team and TNT were the champ last season, so I'm expecting to see a very close and entertaining quarterfinal. Import vs import, I think Ginebra has the edge, but on locals TNT has.
The odds on this match-up is different if only Pringle is playing but unfortunately he isn't that is why they are at the bottom spot of the playoffs.

I'm also going for TNT for this one not because of their import but because of their locals. Mikey Williams is just a monster when he got his rhythm and their import Fuller isn't a pure shooter like other imports but his rebounding skills are just insane and he always gets a double-double. Either way, anything can happen and we might see an upset here. First round it its MVP Vs. SMC already Cheesy.

On the other hand, I'm curious on how NLEX will play this time especially now that they have a different import coming playoffs.

An import has to contribute on both ends, most particularly in points and Brownlee dominated on that part. Well, it's not easy to decide but Ginebra were already good even before Pringle arrive and they have different players who can produce points. I'm expecting that Brownlee will take care of the business, he will carry this team so that they can compete very well with the TNT, and of course win the game. 
2412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is now a good time to be investing in Bitcoin? on: March 12, 2022, 12:42:39 PM
Is now a good time? Yes, it is been always a good and almost a perfect time to invest in Bitcoin, especially now that the market is red. That means that you can see this opportunity as an advantage to buy it on such a lower price, I mean, it doesn't really matter if the market hikes or dips because bitcoin has already proved that it will recover no matter what the crisis is and you're looking to invest in the most trusted and much have cryptocurrency of all time.
Indeed. It was too regretting if we miss this chance. The price isn't that high that we can't afford it nor did the price goes bullish were we gonna worried about the possible dump after investing.
Bitcoin will always be a good investment since before. May the price really matter before buying but even the price is high, this is still profitable as long as we know how to hold and if we know when to sell at a profitable price.

I don't like safemoon, this project is a good example of a shit coin and I'm sure it will fade away once bear market gets stronger, if I have to choose a meme coin to hold it will be bitgert, shiba inu and doge coin, these meme coins have stronger community support than safemoon.

Don't get me wrong but for me, they are just the same, shitcoins...None of these meme coins will even grow,
  - Shiba Inu is declining ever since after the hyped
  - Dogecoin lose its momentum after Elon Musk shilling

And this safemoon project, actually looks promising and even seeing positive growth this time but not sure if this is sustaining or just another sort of price fluctuation. But for me, not really a good choice for investment.
2414  Economy / Economics / Re: Sanctions left and right, Can the Russian economy survive? on: March 11, 2022, 10:13:14 PM
Honestly, we can't underestimate the capability of Russia. They have good economic resources that could help them recover fast and even if the war stays longer, they are still able to provide a good living to their people. Putin is a smart person nor does he thinks this put their country to fall as for sure he never allows it.

https://geohistory.today/resource-extraction-export-russia/
With all of these resources, Russia will surely survive even sanctions take effect. 
2415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to the Bitcoin network if Russia blocks access to the internet? on: March 11, 2022, 09:49:21 PM
Russia is considering shutting down the internet connection to the rest of the globe. What will occur? Is the hash rate decreasing? What will happen if the connection is re-established in a few years?
It certainly has an impact on the hash rate but never I this will be huge. Although we know that Russia has a huge contribution to the crypto market but not all of them are traders, if ever they will block internet connection, they hold their coins. I'm not to think this gonna be forever, transaction will surely resume once the conflict is over, of course. It all just be fine, the people from Russia will also remain calm. We never put this into consideration that we need to sell, no.
2416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Conditions of bounty campaigns these days on: March 11, 2022, 09:28:50 PM
The earning situation of bounty hunting has deteriorated over time and what we have now is far from what we used to have few years ago. The only persons that may be earning substantial amounts now are those with senior and hero membership accounts because they are prioritize for good bounties.
Not that they are prioritized but its more on their choices of good and legit bounties that made them create substantial amounts. But there is really big difference in bounties right now, the opportunity to make profits has become lesser but the chances to make you lose has risen. So we can never rely from it anymore for decent profits. Though there are still few of them who are paying well, but most of the projects these days are never enough to create huge positive impact to the investors so they end up not reaching their market cap and never become profitable at all.
It started to happen last 2018 were the majority of bounties are scams, fake developers, no use case, and most of all, they don't have market value. In fact, I have some of these coins in my wallet. I've been trying to check if ever I can sell them but unfortunately, doesn't even get listed to an exchange.

Now, bounties had negative views. Maybe there are some that are worth joining with but the problem is really hard to find them, unless if you were lucky. In today's situation, we never expect good profit from these bounties, not anymore.

I would have liked to watch the Philadelphia 76ers - Brooklyn Nets game if it wasn't too late for me. Because it must have been a really delightful game and a surprising thing happened at the end too. I didn't give much chance to Nets for winning this game. But they did even by a score like 129-100. I wonder what went wrong with 76ers players in this one. I watched the highlights today and really appreciated Nets' solid game plan. But they are still not very trustworthy until starting a decent form.

Yeah, i'm not sure either.

It wasn't even like that the Nets was doing well prior to this game. They were way below .500 in the last 20 games coming into this one.

I think that it's probably just all the rumours and drama having built up over the past few months releasing. KD with another very efficient performance, he's not going to let Ben Simmons down haha.

They were struggling for a while because Durant rested due to injury, and Irving wasn't consistently playing as well. Now, that Durant is back and Irving is with him, they make a better team already and of course, we cannot forget the addition of Curry and Drummond, they are also a big factor of the success of the Nets recently.

It is obviously a sort of promotion and OP wants us to hear feedback on how the site (their site probably) works. In fact, his posts are all about IXFI exchanges...

But I guess, only OP and his friend getting interested. Not even I bother myself to try this as I already chose the best one for me.

Well, anyway, people have their choice. Let's say you are promoting this and I assume you are part of the team but just be sure that you have a good intention of creating this, not to scam people so you can gain support from the community.
2420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 10, 2022, 12:12:03 PM
I would really praise Ugas if he knockout Pacquaio, IMO. In this fight, if I were to compare the stats then Ugas is surely the underdog compared to Spence Jr. But I will still let the man (Ugas) give the benefit of the doubt and see if he can upset Spence Jr. here.
He was not able to knockout Pacquaio because he stick to his plan, and that is by using his advantage. If he was careless, he might make a mistake and get hurt and that could ruin his plan, so it was just the right strategy, besides he won via UD.

You got that right! Ugas knows well that he can't just go and charge to Pacquiao so among his strategies is to avoid exchanging blows toe-to-toe as it would make him at the disadvantage, Ugas can't really afford to get a blow especially when it comes from Pacquio because he might get unlucky. And at the end of the fight, he really got what he wanted.

That's what you called discipline, he stick to the game plan and he won easily. Pacman is a knockout artist, though he was smaller in that fight but his power cannot be underestimated as we have seen in some of his fights that he really punished his opponent, Ugas knows that.

Yes discipline, that's the word. And no it's not an easy win, you cannot just have an easy fight with Manny Pacquiao especially that you just have a few time to prepare because Ugas was just a replacement. He just stick with the game plan the whole match and with a right mindset with only one goal, that gave him the points he needed to defeat Pacman.

But we will see if Ugas can still pull the same tricks with Spence, I doubt that Spence will just let him. Either way, both fighters are tough and sure this will be an interesting one.

Spence is much more dangerous than old Manny Pacquiao. Ugas still having a hard time and has a close score against Manny even though Pacman is already slow in both movement and punches compared to his younger version. I believe Pacquiao can still defeat Ugas if he request for a rematch since Ugas is slow and easy to read. Manny is just overwhelmed on how Ugas completely read his moves. Errol spence is hard core hitter and very dangerous. He can even KO Ugas if he will focus on it. Spence is one of the boxer that dodge by Pacman after he defeat Thurman.

I agree with that, but Pacman is still very healthy and capable during their supposed fight with Spence, it's just unfortunate that the fight did not happen since Spence decided to back out due to his health. Pacman being unable to prepare for Ugas, he was expose in the fight and it's bad for him as he retired afterwards.
