What if it fails? But what if not?
Honestly, most negative people will fail and those who were positive succeed. And to answer what-if Bitcoin fails? I'm still looking forward to seeing it never fails coz as many people will value this thing, that is very unlikely it fail but instead, we gonna see Bitcoin becoming more appreciated than fiat. And even these banks will take chances to be part of this just like what they do with fiat.

The Government, the banks, will either support this in the future.

What is your expectation of bitcoin ?
I didn't expect much about Bitcoin,  I just hope that it comes to the moment where it becomes a legal tender not just in known and developing countries but across the globe. As it was started becoming a legal tender, it can be possible that the rest will follow and those who ban Bitcoin will even change their mind as well. May this take so long but at least there is a light to such development and market improvement. Yeah, we are going that way.

SMB vs Rain or shine game is over.

That was intense, the game looks a one-sided game in the beginning but Rain or Shine came back with their good run, unfortunately, they were not able to complete the run and still lose the game, but at least it's only a single digit loss and the 4th quarter was really a thrilling game.

Finally, Shabazz played well for the team and he helped the team to win. however, I am not yet convince that he is the best import so far despite of his good stats in this game, I feel like there's still better than him and I think that's probably Harris of Magnolia.

What do you think? agre or disagree?
Harris of Magnolia is doing great because he has a great team while Shabazz is still struggling with their teammates, so its hard to confirm for now but for me they both have a great skills, they just need a help from a local players so they can be more effective. This is a needed win for SMB, such an intense one with a lot of twist.

SMB and Magnolia are good teams, it only matters on the chemistry because Magnolia has not moved players a lot, unlike SMB which just recently traded their veterans to keep the young player and look at what happened? the result is not good.
This is why we should not too dependent with the imports and don’t expect too much from them especially if there’s a problem with the local players, Magnolia did a great job as a whole team and that’s why their imports shines like the best one. SMB should work with their chemistry as a team, their import is still capable of doing great things he just need a help from his team.

SMB used to be a great team, but letting go of Santos and Cabagnot was really a wrong decision. Northport now is playing very well and Santos is one of the biggest contributors to the team, so Santos is not really that old as he can still produce good numbers for the team. I'm pretty sure the SMB management are regretting their decision, instead of keeping the veterans and use their experience, they send them to other teams.

I was having a relationship with a lady who claim to be a Bitcoin broker analyst for a year, she told me much about crypto currency exchange and I got enlightened along the line she told me about a challenge in the crypto company and she wants to take the lead and she needed an investment of about $50,000.
well believing all she has said I did my best to invest and see her take the lead and I was to get 50% of my investment but at the end of my investment it was clear to me I was scammed and she kept requesting for more money.

 Lessons

Always learn to exclude business from relationship.

always do background check before getting to invest on any business.

try to get a knowledge at list 70% and risk management of any business.

nerve get emotionally attached when it comes to business.
That you believe because he was a lady or something special to you or the worse she promise huge returns that you can't decline the proposal. I beat you but yeah, we got sometimes fooled by money, even someone (not close to you) will talk like that, it certainly leads to say "YES I invest". I can't blame how you can't decline this as of course she was your lady and you trusted her but you got fooled by her look and put you in losing huge money.

Okay, but that seems surprising anyway. However, we don't just look for short-term changes, it can more sufficient if we can see this happen long-term.

Well, I'm not seeing this as a sort of price manipulation since LUna is also in the top-performing coin now. Yes, it can be possible to see things happen like this but even it surpasses Bitcoin's growth still, people will choose Bitcoin over Luna. It only beats the price surge but this never means it totally beat Bitcoin.

Thats why you need to do some research first before putting it into an action. Dont rely on others because each of one of us has its own style of strategies that is suit for our character. Having a successful trading is depend on how we handle our actions, it depends on strategies we've made.
It's true it's better to practice to use your own strategy with the results of our analysis,
need to realize that not always the strategies of others will work as well if we use them,
relying on others will not make us grow
[/quote]
Perhaps, those traders that are more comfortable with what they are doing will seem going to succeed. I'd found that as an example as these old traders make their own story of not relying on others instead of standing their own feet. We can make this a mirror to ourselves as these big guys win exactly because they are strategically enough. Apparently, we can't call ourselves a success if we don't have any and so we need to make our own for that sake, or else, we die following other's failure.
2448  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is going up during war? on: March 02, 2022, 02:54:27 PM
Not the war that could ruin the growth of Bitcoin and we can see it running differently that we can see a consistent growth despite this thing. There are a lot of crypt investors around Russia and Ukraine and these people keep buying while the market is in deep which literally uplifts the price. We can say it was amazing but this is the reality for now. No one could stop Bitcoin and even this conflict will take longer, crypto demand will also get higher and higher.

get rid of WB and AD replace them with a good supporting cast. They can keep Melo and Monk as well.

Maybe trade WB but keep AD, just like this game against the Mavericks, he was shooting bricks with a very awful shooting percentage.

5-17 shooting overall, 0-4 from 3 point line. I don't understand why Westbrook still tries to shoot 3's when he is not really a good 3 point shooting. I think he should earn his points in the FT line, and it's very important that he is aggressive and he will keep attacking.
2450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever subscribe to any tipser giving sports betting premium picks? on: March 02, 2022, 10:26:52 AM
When I was still new to sports betting, I saw a lot of posts from a company or individual offering their premium pick if you will subscribe to them. The subscription fee defers, some are cheap while some offer a high subscription but they all promise the same thing, "long-term profitability".

So the question here is, does anybody here actually subscribe to any tipster who gives sports betting premium picks, and how much is did you pay?

What was the experience, is it profitable or do you feel you got scammed?
No I never, I choose either to check some free tips from Groups i am in and also some friends here in forum that has good experience and knowledge about sports betting because why would i Pay for subscription when there is no assurance at all if I am going to win or not.
But i will be following this thread for better understanding and knowledge how this work and how much some taken as win in their experiences of subscribing .
There's no such thing as "assurance to win" in sports betting, otherwise, those tipsters would just bet on their own as there's no risk at all. They claim that they are profitable, which means they have some loses also, and for sure they will also tell you the bankroll management as it's necessary to survive and hoepfully succeed in the long run.
2451  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When to know Bitcoin has reset? on: March 01, 2022, 11:44:38 PM
I'm learning how to trade crypto and I hear a lot say that it's best to invest in Coins when Bitcoin resets. So what are the signs that Bitcoin is resetting? Not asking when it resets only God knows but when a reset has happened?
We never know as it never exists, we only have corrections which we think is a good buying time for those who want to invest in Bitcoin. Having more time to monitor the market trend will eventually give you some help when to enter the market but just I've said, waiting for the moment it drops will likely be the best time to do it. And you can never think that this will take so long, that is why you should have not miss this chance either.
2452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banning Bitcoin is Like Banning the Internet, Says Russia’s Finance Minister on: March 01, 2022, 10:51:48 PM
The debates will likely be ended up positive and it favors Bitcoin adoption than banning it. I see no reason why Russia will close a deal over Bitcoin as they know, the Presidents knows what seems best for their citizen, it was the internet that gives life now and this Bitcoin gives more.

If they are into concern about economic improvement, the existence of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have more to add. We can see a lot of people change their lives after investing in Bitcoin and that could prove the value of Bitcoin today and in the future.
Indeed, they are now accepting Bitcoin. It certainly change their minds knowing the fact that Bitcoin is not a threat to the economy but it was a helping tool to grow instead. The people from Russia have been so hopeful to have this and seeing the support from the government will eventually boost their courage and go for adoption.

Just like many countries, Bitcoin somehow helps people's lives, giving them hope to improve their living, and Banning Bitcoin is really not a helpful decision but it only makes people hate the government.
2453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 01, 2022, 01:44:01 PM

With these games we had I was surprised by Ja Morant's performance, he scored over 50 points and literally carried the team on his back! This is surreal!!
Get used to Ja Morant, he will likely have more exciting games to watch because he already build his confidence so high, he can dunk and shoot from the outside, this season he has really improve and the coach are letting him carry the team and he is enjoying his role.

Talking about the Nets game, I still believed they could beat the Raptors (i was completely wrong), was a big surprise, Toronto won with more than 30 points.


nets are inconsistent, I tell you, without Durant they cannot be trusted.
2454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: March 01, 2022, 01:06:57 PM
On the other hand though, its quite shameful to the team if they will lose to the Blackwater team so I guess the streak continues Cheesy.

I think losing is just normal, and eventually, Blackwater will win because they are so desperate for a win, they will work every game to improve their chances of winning. I don't know when the streak will be over but I know them being winless will not be forever.

Northport vs Blackwater, the hottest team vs the coldest team in the PBA.  Smiley
Yes they will win I believe on them but not this season I guess. They will continue their losing streak until next season.
I just hope that they will get a very good player coming draft pick and let it stay with the team. If the owner really wants to continue his stint in the PBA then at least build a team that can at least enter the playoffs.

NorthPort vs. BlackWater. I will bet for Blackwater with this one Cheesy. JK JK!!

Not surprising to see this since they don't have reliable shooters and potential stars on their team because if there's someone step up and provide quality performance they trade it on much stronger teams so I always expect them to lose. I will also bet on Northport this time so let see if we can see a good game and they can prove to the PBA fan like us that we are wrong about them.

Maybe at this time, we will see some upset?

Northport is on a winning streak, they are a good team and so everyone will be betting on them.
Try to have some fun, maybe bet on the Blackwater Moneyline because Northport might not play hard here knowing they will be playing against the wosrt team in the PBA.
2455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ancajas vs Martinez - Feb 26, 2022 on: February 26, 2022, 03:53:41 PM
That is a good odd indeed, but I would rather bet on winner & round range:

either:  Ancajas 4-6 @7.40

Ancajas 7-9 @5.80


You can bet on that two lines and if you win, you are still guaranteed a profit. You have 6 rounds for Ancajas to beat by KO his opponent, you just have to hope that it will not happen in the early rounds because that means you will lose your bet.

Ancajas by KO is also a good bet, but if you are betting on the round ranges, betting on the KO is not a good idea anymore, you are staking a lot of money with one outcome, not profitable IMO.

One better if you want to feel the thrill, you'll get a winning of 6.40 if you bet on the 4-6 rounds and you win, that's the beauty of gambling when you think you can easily win, that's the time you'll easily lose, that's why it's so unpredictable and the favorites are not guaranteed to win. How about on the other side, is anyone here thinking of an upset?

Martinez 1-3 @50
Martinez 4-6 @30.
2456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: February 26, 2022, 03:18:55 PM
He is not an NBA player anymore and though he played many seasons in the NBA but his stats is not something be worried of if you are on the other teams.
We can check his entire basketball record ; https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/muhamsh01.html

I need to see his first game to decide and conclude if he can really be a big thing for the team.

For sure, SMB are happy but what is written in the paper could be different in the actual game, so let's see.
I'm a SMB fan but I don't know what to say with the import exchange that they did. Not happy though.
Johnson played well in their last games and he put up huge points in their wins so I don't know the reason why they need to change imports where the chemistry is already there. Just because he is an ex-NBA player that's why they changed Johnson?

I agree with what you said that lets see how he will perform in maybe his first 2 games before judging if he is a good fit for the team or not. Lets not set aside too that he also got an ACL tear in 2019 causing him to be waived in the CBA. I'm not saying that he might get it again but there is still a chance (hope not though). I'll watch his debut game tomorrow against the top-seeded Magnolia. If they defeated them then maybe we can say that he is better than Johnson. He is a legitimate scorer when he is playing in CBA though and there is one season where he averages almost 30 PPG.

SMB is probably looking for an import that could compete well with the imports of other teams, based on the record of Shabazz, we can see that he can compete as he also play good minutes when he was still in the NBA. This isn't an NBA so the competition is easier, so I expect that the new import will give the expectation of the management and SMB will be at the top 3 in the standing.

As per current standing, SMB is only ranked at number 5 from the top.
https://pba.ph/standings

If the team is showing good when the new import was in. I think we must support them, even though their import not just a good scorer for now, for sure their import has in stage of adapting his team and if we will get wild in court I think he has a chance to compete other good imports in PBA like justice brownlee and other good imports.

SMB change their import because they are not satisfied with the performance, and the new import compared to Brownlee, I think Shabazz is better based on his record since he played in the NBA for several seasons, so the expectation is really high especially that he landed in SMB which is the best team in the PBA IMO.

8-0 in favor of Canelo, it seems like no one believes that Canelo will lose in this fight.

I honestly don't hear the name of his opponent,  I think he is not popular, so I guess Canelo's chance to win here is very high. I read some comments in this thread and the other that after this fight if Canelo wins, he has a chance to face GGG which is a mega fight, so I would follow this fight as I love to witness a trilogy of the two huge names in boxing.

I don't believe it and I'm not an optimistic person this time. I accept, I was badly losing this time (I guess we all have this). The reality is that the market seems to have another huge drop again. We probably saw a straight line downward, a big opposite to the picture. But then, we couldn't lose our hope, it can be done sooner, yet we never know.

Well, I'm fine holding again, 1-2 years, I think this was over and we were able to see the market turn in green.
I think we have to prepare for the worse just like before.
2460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 26, 2022, 10:54:25 AM
I speculate that this very bad incident for Casimero will certainly lower his chance to get a contract to fight Naoye Inoue unless he wins all the other championships in their weight division. It will be very hard to promote and market Inoue vs. Casimero to the public after this alleged sexual misconduct. How many championships does Inoue do not presently hold?

He is not yet guilty, and there's still no warrant the thing is still under investigation, Casimero will need to answer the accusation and if there's probable cause then there will be a case, he can hire a very good lawyer to defend him and since this is not a rape case and bailable he can still fight Inoue, we all know he is still innocent until proven guilty.

This is very right, we cannot judge him, just because there's negative news about him, we easily make a conclusion that he is guilty. you know, Casimero is a celebrity already, he has the money and maybe some sees it as an opportunity to get money from him.
