741  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to tell if a new coin is worth investing in! on: August 19, 2023, 03:34:04 AM
If a coin introduces a completely new technology that enables a different function and is sustainable in the long term, does it have the potential to be a worthwhile investment?
Not totally the assurance that it they will make it. Of course, a developer will say something promising in order to gain the trust and attention of the community making it believe that they can give the best thing possible. However, in many instances happens that they only just promise but have never happened in actual. This is why it was hard to determine if that project is worth investing in unless they will witness its performance. In fact, just like Bitcoin before, only it gains massive attention when it shows something different which makes people invest in it.
742  Economy / Speculation / Re: what a surprise dip on: August 18, 2023, 09:31:40 PM

What is possibly to happen in the market, more dip that's seeing below 20k or something similar?
And is this another sign for bear market?
I would never say it was a sign for another bear market but yes, can't hide the fact that the market is facing another hard time due to low buying demand and support. However, despite the current situation, I don't think it going to dip below $20k, yet it is possible for $24k. I'd see that this year is full of test and market surprise as we thought that after reaching $30k we may see it moving close to $35k but it goes in the opposite direction and even fall hard. But still, I don't give up yet as it recovers later, the same thing happen in the past few days yet, we can never say it was too quick.
743  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What could be the problem here? on: August 18, 2023, 09:03:25 PM
What do we think could be the cause for a trader that has been experiencing a win and lose repetitive occurrences in his trades.

 Like he places a trade today he makes profit and the next day when he places another trade he would lose it, whereas the next day he then makes another profit and lose it the next. And this happen been repeating for more than a month.

Has anyone had such experience? If yes! Then how was or could it be solved or stopped?
The situation is getting psychological.
That situation is very usual in trading because not all the time the market is doing well and also our decision making. But in this case, if that keeps on going and repeatedly happens, there is a problem with our strategies. Sometimes we don't have to stick to a single strategy if is not effective anymore but must have to look for something that will fit the current trend.
Stopping is not the best option for me especially if I know in myself that I can improve my trade. It is just finding the right and most effective strategy in every market change which is why it was very important that we need to know how to analyze the market situation very well.
744  Economy / Speculation / Re: take advantage of opportunities on: August 18, 2023, 04:58:25 PM
today i saw the btc market it went down 5% and now it is $26800 and i saw very scared people and many are selling their btc cheap but i will not miss this golden opportunity when people are panic selling so i will buy it. and I'm lucky to still have balance left on my exchange.

Are you also taking advantage of this opportunity, friend?
I'm not if they are selling because they are worried about the situation as nothing it supports with that but for sure, these people are selling for some reason so whatever it was, it doesn't matter.

Yes, we are still given a chance to buy Bitcoin at a correction price before the halving will start. I say that this year would be our time to accumulate more in anticipation of the price surge that will occur next year. I encourage people to buy but must keep on their limitation as well, - invest only the amount that we can afford to lose.
745  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What tips you will give to a new investor to identify scam projects early ? on: August 18, 2023, 04:33:52 PM
Generally, it emphasizes here the importance of doing deep research on a particular project before investing. This is the most important thing to do in order to avoid falling into scam projects because even if it was suggested by some forum members and any influential personalities, it is our obligation to undergo separate assessments just to make sure that we are investing in the right project. Because what I see is that many people (new investors) had invested in new projects without any piece of information about the project, they only just hear it from some friends and then believe it. But it was not enough, we should be more cautious when investing knowing that scam projects are flooded in the market already.

It's unfortunate that there is no coverage for the tune-up game between Gilas and Ivory Coast as it is a closed door event, the don't want scout to know their system hehe.
Are there betting odds for this particular game? It's understandable if they won't be showing the game live, but having betting odds available would be helpful as we can still check the outcome. Maybe the box score would be sufficient. I'm not sure if this is the rule for all tune-up games or just for this specific one. If I'm not mistaken, I believe there were some tune-up games that were broadcast live. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, there are odds in my favorite crypto bookies and at the moment the Gilas squad is ahead by a slim margin of six point, this only shows that Gilas is no push-over team anymore.



I'm happy to see that the Philippines is leading. I hope they can win this game, as it will boost their confidence for the actual game.

Currently, there's a break. The Philippines' moneyline (ML) odds are 1.23, and they are favored by -6.5 points. I can't believe we are the favorites here; I thought Ivory Coast was a strong team. At the moment, I'm not tempted to bet because the Philippines is favored, but I'm hoping they will win.

I saw the odds at Sportsbet.
747  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Scalpers and day traders, what makes you to make profit in trading? on: August 18, 2023, 12:38:01 PM
No trade is perfect and we choose what is good for us likewise you have chosen to go the way you are going. But I think when a strategy is producing result like us and it is steady then how do you want to change a winning strategy? You don't need to start worrying yourself if you are making steady $1 or $2, that means you have a working strategy. However, your profit margin is very low and it will amount to nothing at the end of the day, your cost and expenses plus time. If you want more, do a little of risk appetite.
If we can make $1 - $2 per day, there is a possibility that we can make $5-$10 a day. Yes, it is all about finding the most effective strategy and huge capital as well. Though earning $1 a day is not really satisfying but at least it was better than doing nothing. Well, as it keeps going, we can learn more things that can help improve our way of trading as we can't expect it instantly but as scalpers, there is a huge chance of getting higher especially if we already have long trade experience. We don't need to rush but have to keep timing together with hard work and perseverance.
748  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has nothing to do with crime on: August 17, 2023, 09:52:25 PM
Before the Advent of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin there has been crime, so it has nothing to do with BTC. There have been cyber fraud way before BTC was birthed, so why would one now be attributing crime to BTC. This is just one way of painting BTC in bad light.
Not totally it paints bad but we know that some people had used Bitcoin as a medium for their illegal activities and fraud which the authorities assume was solely created for this stuff and to promote crimes. There is a misunderstanding about how it works because what it is in their minds is that they consider Bitcoin a threat to the security system where it increases crime rates and fraud activities as they have caught some people using this. Though we can't agree on how they would asses Bitcoin, we still know and are aware that it really happened.
749  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wrong way to accumulate. on: August 17, 2023, 09:35:19 PM
Basically almost every bitcoiner is in for accumulation committing  certain amount of investment with a timeline to it. It could be for short term or long term plan.
And I did as it was important that it was included in our plan to whether our investment would be long-term or short-term so we can also easily decide when to sell.
Quote
You also risk investing beyond what you can afford to lose which is not what any wise bitcoin investor would do. Bitcoin accumulation is not supposed to be a stressing and self-pressured process but some persons doing it in that way thinking they had arrived late to bitcoin and have to meet up, but that's all a fallacy. With bitcoin you're never late, you only arrived at your right time.

What are your own thoughts on wrong ways you think people follow in  bitcoin accumulation.
It was stressful if we keep looking at the market chart. An investors, we are not day traders who have to check the market every day because we already have a timeline for when to sell our Bitcoin. We just check it when it was almost near because if we keep checking it that possibly will affect our mindset and goal and supposedly not. In order to stay on our goal, we don't have to do this but just check the market when it was already near.

Regarding Sotto and Clarkson, yes, they should be fun to watch. I'm hopeful that we'll witness numerous alley-oop assists from Clarkson, as the Jazz have bigger players who excel in generating points through that style.

If Sotto is quick enough, that could possibly happen. However, their opponents also have big players who can dominate the paint, particularly the Dominican Republic, who have Towns playing. The question now is, can Kai Sotto defend Karl Anthony Towns? Personally, I don't think he can, and none of the Gilas Center could stop Towns, if Gilas should make sure that their outside shooting is consistent so they can make this an interesting game to watch.
751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 17, 2023, 12:26:34 PM
The latest rumors out of Philadelphia seem to be that the Houston Rockets have been putting together trade offers for Joel Embiid.  It’s hard not to think that this has something to do with Harden. Maybe Embiid and Harden are both trying to force their way to Houston. With Embiid taking Philly out of his social media profiles, something is definitely happening.

So much for the Process then, Lol. Sixers has given him the support, but I guess when he won the MVP already, it made him think to chase the ring and not any individual accolade. And it's hard to see Joel leaving the Sixers, but I guess if he wanted to get out then there's nothing that the management can do.

Just weird though that the destination they want is Houston? Although Harden has a good years run in Houston, but it doesn't make sense for Embid to follow his team mates there though. Does Joel has a connection with the city of Houston?

Either Embiid will request a trade, or he will get traded. Given what's going on within the organization, there's a likelihood that Embiid might not stay with the 76ers. Just consider what might happen to the 76ers' season if Harden sits out, since the management doesn't plan to trade him. Do we think Embiid will be happy with that? Next season will likely be a determining factor in Embiid's decision, as this team lacks a long-term plan and struggles in taking care of its players.
752  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can you tell me the best indicator for long term investment? on: August 17, 2023, 02:30:09 AM
Bitcoin has a decade old history and we have a price patten that indicates both upwards and downward moment. After every halving we have a bull run and so is expected after next halving. For me Bitcoin price is not dependent on news or other events rather it has its own logics of going up and down. Buying Bitcoin at the moment is best option as next halving is coming next year.
The bitcoin half that is always awaited, it will be the moment when bitcoin can reach ATH again. Everyone hopes so, buying bitcoins is currently the best choice. we are still down about 60% from the last ATH in 2021. Looking forward to 2024 which will probably repeat decades of successful history of bitcoin. Confident with the development of bitcoin to date.
This year2023 was not really a great year for crypto investment but at least it wasn't bad compared to last year. However, with the current situation, I see this as a good time to start accumulating some Bitcoin because a few years from now. That is why we don't have to miss this opportunity but rather grab it while the price is still low because we believe that after halving there is a price surge the same thing that happens before. But still, we need to take extra caution and keep on this saying - "invest only the amount that we can afford to lose".
753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 16, 2023, 01:12:33 PM
By the way, guys, what do you think about this change in the upcoming season? Will the regular season be more interesting for players and fans because of this in-season tournament or not?

Since it will be the first time to see such a format in the NBA season, we don't know what to expect.

However, from my point of view, since the in-season tournament requires consistent winning, we should expect early season games where teams will be serious right away and not take the game lightly different from what we see in the usual games in the early season.

If it's interesting or not overall, can only find it out later on. For me though, should be entertaining as "it's NBA".

Yes, everything will be decided when these new rules already been applies for now. We are all new to what NBA is preparing, though we already
have that updates, but the actual implementation will be a witness on the day the season starts.

Let's hope for the best and for all the competing teams to bring all the best for their fans. I'm sure we will have that excitement.

Bettors will take this as a good way to analyze as teams will not take the game lightly, even in the early stage of the league.


The new rules are likely to bring more excitement, as they wouldn't have been created in the first place if they weren't intended to. Despite being the most popular basketball league in the world, the NBA's commissioner is still striving to maintain its interest by introducing new rules. I've recently read about these new rules, but they haven't fully sunk in yet. Perhaps I'll grasp them better once I watch the actual games.

For those who are curious, here's the rules

754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: August 16, 2023, 12:32:25 PM
@harizen. On Tapales, what legacy? We should be honest, he is a good boxer but he has no potential to be something similar to Pacman or Inoue. I speculate that he might also lose if Casimero was given an opportunity to fight him.

Everything is business for Tapales. He knows Inoue wants to create a boxing legacy and he cannot have this if he cannot get the WBA and IBF championships. Inoue should pay the right amount.

Also, if Tapales will decide not to fight Inoue, I wish it would be Casimero and also wish that Casimero would win hehehehhee. Inoue vs. Casimero would be another fight the boxing fans would consider something like a superfight.

The misunderstanding between Tapales and Inoue already favors Casimero, as either boxer could face Casimero as their challenger. So, perhaps Casimero is content with the situation, as it could expedite his chance to be in a championship fight. First, Tapales vs. Casimero, and then Casimero vs. Inoue – that's a promising journey. It would enhance Casimero's reputation if he were to defeat his fellow boxer and dethrone him, given that the scenario were to unfold. I'm quite optimistic that it could occur, provided Inoue ruin the possibility of that unification fight against Tapales.
755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: August 15, 2023, 12:22:56 PM
I think only Casimero fans are going to say that Inoue is ducking him. Inoue was interested in the fight no doubt about it. And they have scheduled it, this time Casimero will have to defend his WBO belt, but issues after issues and so he lost that chance.

So if you look at it, there's no ducking there, just the circumstances and it's not Inoue fault but Casimero. So it's better for Casimero to just stop the chase for now, let him rank himself in super bantamweight class first and maybe he will get that chance if Inoue will decide to stay at this decision and so some cleanup just like in bantamweight or move up and look for more challenges but it's going to be dangerous for him at 126 lbs.

As far as I remember, the only time I knew that Inoue vs. Casimero had a scheduled fight was before the pandemic. It was canceled because of the ongoing pandemic. However, once everything became clear, Casimero was expecting that they would make the fight happen. Unfortunately, Inoue's camp didn't respond to that.

Casimero had problems with his weight, which led to his belt being stripped. He violated the rules, though. Here's the full story of that.
https://www.ringtv.com/638052-john-riel-casimero-vs-paul-butler-off-due-to-casimeros-violation-of-bbbofc-medical-policy/
Quote
John Riel Casimero is in danger of being stripped of the WBO bantamweight title after violating terms of the British Boxing Board of Control’s medical policy regarding the use of saunas prior to a fight.

The point is, if Inoue was really interested in fighting Casimero, he should have sign the deal right away after the pandemic, but he choose the other direction.

If MPBL games will be held in some big arenas like Smart Araneta or MOA Arena, etc. expect only a few live audiences and won't bother to spend money on purchasing tickets. And surely a worst to expect if we talk about having a game in PH Arena.  Cheesy

If that would be the scenario then it would be like just like the PBA, unless if the Smart Araneta Coliseum is the homecourt of one team then i think it can drew more crowds which is match better than the PBA, i think.

The owner of Blackwater has proposed that PBA games will be held in a home-away format, following i think the format of the MPBL nd the defunct MBA but i don't think they can sustain the logistics in doing so as it is very costly to move a team to another island that is why MBA was short-lived.

The PBA will stay as is, only this time more teams but still MVP and SMC companies will have influence on the new teams, that's for sure.

There's no doubt that the PBA has greater resources, but if they ignore the critics, I don't anticipate them maintaining their top position in the future. Although the MPBL might not be on the same scale as the PBA, with increasing supporters and investors, they could potentially evolve into a significant league. Sponsors play a vital role, and in today's age, broadcasting their games is not a challenge, ensuring widespread awareness. While it's a journey from the outset, I wouldn't underestimate the league's potential, given the strides they've already made.
757  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin best option to invest on: August 12, 2023, 02:12:45 PM


This is why I believe that Bitcoin investment is not for everybody, Some responsibilities are at stake for some people and they won't be able to afford a Sat of Bitcoin, some won't be able to complete their HODL dreams, and they will get tired along the way because they are of needs.

It is true that not everyone is economically qualified to invest in bitcoin but if I compare bitcoin investment with other investments, I find bitcoin investment much easier.  I mean, you can invest in bitcoin any amount you have, even 10$ or 20$, although the profit will be negligible.  but it's better than other investments, and there's nothing you can do with that money when you think about gold or real estate.  bitcoin is for everyone, but not everyone accepts it, it depends on each person's ability, bitcoin does not reject anyone.
Yes, we usually thought that was too easy but if you don't have good knowledge about Bitcoin and how to manage your wallet, you will be surprised that your funds are already gone. That is why I don't agree that Bitcoin is for everyone but rather say that we all have the opportunity, yet it is only our choice or desire to do it as it was not a good idea to force someone when they are not capable enough as in the end, they only regret it.
So I say, those who can afford to take risks can try Bitcoin but if not, better to forget it and look for an investment that we think can do it.
758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Playing Slot Games On Demo/Free mode Vs Live/Paid Mode on: August 12, 2023, 01:47:21 PM


I find demo modes to be very useful, not only for gambling but in everything, like if you are playing a video game for the first time, you go through the demos to learn the keys and other stuff, similarly, in gambling, a demo mode let's you explore the gameplay before you get involved with the real mode.
Because demo mode is designed to allow gamblers to enjoy gambling and the results are purely manipulative. That is why what we often see is winnings, not losses because this will encourage gamblers and would think that they can do like this or even better when gambling in real. Unfortunately, it was too different and the design isn't like that as it was more intense doing actual rather than playing fake money or just free tokens. However, we could still apply the learning that we have using a demo account and this could help as well.
759  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins that you will be hold till next Bull Run on: August 12, 2023, 12:48:06 PM
~
My plan is to hold the layer 1 and layer 2 tokens for the next bull run. Also, try to get some profits from during that time. Because we don't know the exact ATH.
Are these tokens providing any use case or just tokens with promises. Majority of the layer1 and layer 2 token projects are just hype, so not sure how those will thrive but then some tokens might pump during the bull run and hence i need to check some of them to invest. The usual top alts in the market that are certain to rally every bull run are the coins that are in mind for me.
Uncertainties usually come into our mind about new projects but as I've seen in the previous bull season, new projects and even these shitcoins had given us a big surprise for their skyrocketing price. Imagine, it increases more than those known and potential coins that we have. Meaning, anything can possibly happen during Bullrun, and as seen, many investors are buying new projects as they thought that what happened in the past will happen again.
Well, of course, it was best and certainly has assurance from holding top altcoins than these new projects.
760  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin (DOGE) on: August 12, 2023, 12:28:18 PM
Well, it is to say that Doge gains popularity because of Elon Musk, not because people had see it as valuable in the crypto space. So, what will happen if Elon Musk is gone and leave Dogecoin, could we think will be hyped again, I don't think so. I don't think Dogecoin deserves too much attention and so are these meme coins. Yes, it can't deny that many people have made money from them but can't see how many people had suffered losses because of these shitcoins. I don't want to assume but I know most of us know about Dogecoin, it was not a good choice for investment and so thinking it will bullish again is impossible.
