As a trader, I never expect bitcoin to go only up because it happens it will get hard for me to make significant profits. I buy when the market dips and sell when the price is at its peak.
The ups and downs of bitcoin prices are normal for a trader, but nowadays there are many new investors who want to use bitcoins only for their profit and wealth, when the price of Bitcoin goes up they flock to buy it and when the price of bitcoin goes down they also sell it and think Scam,
Research on Bitcoin and Crypto is important before starting to enter the market.
  Most of the new investors today are more on profit motivated so whatever they think is right, they will instantly grab it not knowing that it could make them lose. The crypto market may be a good source of income and profits, but it can also be a reason to lose all what you have.  This is why learning first before entering the market is a must because if you buy and sell in crypto without its right timing, you will never make good profits from it. Trading needs good market analysis to win such trades, but if you not aware about its technicalities, you will never grow and lasts in trading.

The Nets routing the Sixers should be a good reason to never speak as if the result is already determined even before the game started just because they are "the best" or on a "good run". At least check the roster and see who will be playing. It's no surprise that KD and Irving could pull off a win since these two are scoring machines. They didn't put up big numbers but it was enough for a convincing win. Great job by Seth Curry too.

Instead of just one player scoring 50 points, a few players are scoring over 20 points, it's healthier that way. The biggest problem with the Nets was that there was more than one lead player on the team. But their game against the Sixers was pretty good, when Irving and KD can play together, we can watch great things. Seth was also very good in the last game Smiley

You have a point but that biggest problem of them is also their biggest advantage to any team they will face. Instead of heavy guarding 1 or 2 players, the Nets rosters have many lead players and that makes them hard to guard because almost everyone can make sure shots. We can compare it to their recent game against the 76ers where the latter is having a hard time defending.
The game was so good, it makes me think that I'm watching the Finals.

Nets up by 24 and only shot 7 free throws versus 21 for Philly.  Wherever Harden goes this bullshit way of playing basketball won't work.  Just continually trying to get to the line while not playing basketball doesn't work against good teams.  Hate teams that angle for a zillion free throws they sldeserve to get slaughtered here.  Only half way through the bucket of popcorn....

Up by 29 with less than 4 minutes to play for in the 3rd, this is already a big win for the Nets already!

Irving and Durant both stepped up really big and this are the kind of games/pressure they live for, they're never scared, neither can you talk your way into their performance, James Harden is exact opposite of that tonight, he needs to toughen up tbh, imagine playing the Nets in the playoffs and this is the Harden you'd get ? Man!

When Ben Simons gets back, this Nets team are really going to be terrific!

Right now they are in the eight hole.   There is not one team in the top 4 that wants to play them in the first round.  If durantula and kyrie already available they should be the favorites whether home or away.  Big decision if nyc lifts the Vax ban.  If so then lights out, the Nets are dead set the favorites to win this conf.

Irving has a lot of impact to boost his team mates confidence, Even there bench players and Seth Curry performs very well against a strong opponent 76ers maybe because there’s no too much pressure to handle since they trust Kyrie Irving decision making. They are just keep rotating and waiting for the balance. Nets will surely be the favorite if they can maintain this kind of performance level until playoffs. Will definitely take note on this record as reference for my future betting.

A lot of sleeping giants team is already awaken.

Yeah, given KD and Irving are going to play good, the key difference is the players they swap with Harden, namely Simmons, Curry and Drummond.

There's a lot of booing on Simmons during the shoot out but it doesn't bother him as they got the revenge specially Curry with a huge game to show his former team.



The game was so full packed! You can literally feel and hear the hatred of the Sixers fans towards Ben Simmons, we can't blame them for that because Simmons was once turned his back on his former team mates. IMO, no doubt that the 76ers have won the trade because they have Harden now which makes a good duo with Embiid but letting Curry and Drummond go is also a bad idea.
1444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match on: March 11, 2022, 01:27:39 PM

I guess the car crash is really eye opener for him, or maybe it just really hardened him up because if he can beat that car crash and come back in boxing and win against one of the toughest fighter in that division (Shawn Porter), then he has the confidence that he can beat everyone else even Manny although he just to beat another injury (eye). Now he is going to face Ugas. And we see him as the favorite again, so he will do everything to continue his undefeated record and then look for the biggest fight in the division next.
Spence easily recovers from an injury because he was a tough fighter, and he is still young so the recovery is faster. If he beat Porter in his return, there's no reason he cannot beat Ugas who lose to Porter in their fight, we can check the record of Ugas, Porter was one of the 4 fighters that beat him.

We can say anything but everything can be decided when this two fighters is already inside the ring, maybe Spence have that edge and Ugas may try harder to beat Spence, preparations and more on watching fight replays to be more aware to how both fighters are moving whne inside the ring, things like this what the trainers and the camp should be focus while waiting for the fight to happen.

Exactly, we can only give speculations based to the facts or their history regarding the fight but we cannot yet conclude about the fight as it's not yet finish. Among these two boxers, both of them are tough and hard to beat. Spence was the favorite one here but that's still not decided that he is going to win because we know Ugas have those abilities to upset any boxer he will face. This time around, Ugas have prepared well compared to his match against Pacman.
1445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: March 11, 2022, 01:11:12 PM
GGG is still the favorite in the bookies but if i were to put the odds i would give 2.5 for Murata because he is a very live underdog and we all know that GGG is not getting any younger anymore and that may reflect on his performance against this tough Japanese boxer.

IMO, that trilogy with Canelo would not be an exciting one if you are really following boxing. They should have stage that months after the rematch because we all knew that GGG is aging while Canelo is peaking so critics might tagged this a cherry picky fight once again.
You are right, however, Canelo is going to fight against Bivol, and GGG, despite being older than Canelo, has a good chance of winning, the truth is that sometimes you can count on experience, so much so that many of the Fans already find the fight boring, I really believe that boxing is taking many turns, things are changing, the mere fact of rescheduling is already something that bores, and they are leaving the best match as the last option because what is happening in Right now, the boxing industry is looking for a lot of business models where they make a lot of money.


Yes ofcourse, we can't neglect that the boxing industry is also business industry giving entertainment in exchange of money and that's how boxers are getting paid. In the same sense, they're bring the best events at the last option so that all fights before the main event will sure have people watching even if they're just there for the main event.
Canelo is also wise, before he does not want to fight GGG again because he already won and giving him another fight is a risky move to Canelo as he surely knows that among the boxers he have fought, only GGG has the capabilities to give him another defeat. Now, he is open to fight GGG again because he's already old and the risk are somehow minimized.
1446  Economy / Economics / Re: Donate to Ukraine on: March 11, 2022, 09:01:02 AM
Doesn't matter how strong or weak they could be right now, they are definitely standing strong against Russians, and your donations (depending on where you do it to) could help immensely during a time like this. Even if Ukraine is doing fine, even if it is just to show support.

I am sure that 1 million dollars from one person versus 1 dollar from 1 million people have a difference, seeing too many people helping you and supporting you will always matter the most. There is nothing wrong with helping and showing support, even if your help is very little, even if you donated just 1 dollar, that is still better than just watching and not doing anything.
Ukrainians are probably in need of more foods and medicines these days, especially the children. So the best thing we can do is to send donations that could cater to all their basic needs, particularly for all those who are wounded be it children or adults. And if we can donate even a very least amount, that will be a very big help for all the victims of the war. Ukraine may be totally down for now, but if all the people in the world will be united to send donations, their recovery may be easier for them.
1447  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The way things are going with new crypto is worrisome on: March 10, 2022, 10:53:48 PM
Almost everyone I knew now creates their own tokens  Grin these guys aren't even crypto developers to begin with, they have no coding experience or knowledge now this makes me worry, imagine how many crypto tokens that are created by inexperienced personal, I think we need to buckle up for there will be huge rain of scam tokens upon us than what we've seen before...... Sigh! I wish that only few qualified people knew how to build blockchain projects.
Yes, shitcoins appear every day in the crypto space. From an investor's perspective, I have criteria to evaluate a project, so there are many shitcoins, but if you don't care about them, they will be completely harmless to you. Either way, complaining won't solve much. If your actions aren't enough to change its course, then don't worry about it. Everything will be fine over time.
Such is the reality and we cannot stop the emergence of shitcoins where every day there will always be new shitcoins in crypto,
it's better to focus on coins that have potential and don't care too much about shitcoins,
obviously it all depends on each person's decision
This will be more risky on part of newbies and even to those who have been here for quite long already but still are not capable to find reliable coins. The bigger the risk, the bigger funds they will bound to lose. But we can't do nothing about this because this is now the reality that market is filled with scam projects. We just need to be more vigilant and be wise in decision making so we will not fall as their victims.
1448  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Smart Move... on: March 10, 2022, 10:18:43 PM
Solana as more certainty than xrp but still that doesn't mean the unexpected can't happen, many fear XRP because it's centralized and as much as we don't like centralised projects in crypto space xrp still fail to die, XRP has proven it's worth few times already.
My suggestion is if you want to convert your XRP for Solana, wait first for the market to be stable because that will create a difference in their previous prices. What's in Solana anyway that you want to go for it?  Both Solana and XRP have definitely low value compared to bitcoin and ethereum so if you want to seize every opportunity, then convert your XRP into bitcoin or ethereum. That way, you will never worry that much whenever correction strikes again as bitcoin and ethereum will never fall their value sharply.
1449  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who is the best crypto provider to give you advice on how to trade in crypto? on: March 10, 2022, 09:20:36 PM
There is no more secured learnings in crypto if you keep on depending others for your own benefits. Trading should be learn on your own and should be learn the hard way. If you keep on looking for best crypto trading signals providers, yes maybe you can find one but most of them are only after with your hard earned money. There is no really best trading signals in trading, the market is making consistent changes and everything depends on its own current trends and events. If you can learn them on your own, then it will help you end up making a good market analysis that will make your trading worthy and profitable.

Lots of people have been scammed just because they are looking for trading signal, I believe we shouldn't depend on anybody before we trade, cryptocurrency trading is not really easy and most people always learn how to trade in a hard way, I also wasted lot's of money when I started trading because I don't really have anybody to teach me and I don't really want to depend on anybody for trading signals so I always make sure I do my research myself.
Trading is like a profession. You need to study and learn it so that you can apply all your knowledge you gained from it once you entered in the real life trading. But as a newbie, all started with losses and as you keep making experiences, your trading skills will be more developed and enhanced. So don't entrust to others you trading experience just because you are afraid to lose. Losing is part of growing in trading. You will never grow and become a good trader if you rely for others. Trading signals are never that hard to learn if you just do your due diligence and study on your own. The resources are free online, so there's no need to look for paid trading signals as most of them are not even working in real trading.
1450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is now a good time to be investing in Bitcoin? on: March 10, 2022, 08:22:27 PM
Anytime is the the best time to invest in bitcoin, depending on your capital you have to start investing in bitcoin and the profit you may desire. There is no particular time to start bitcoin investment , the door and opportunity is open to anyone at any given time. But most people prefer investing in bitcoin when the market is dip and hodl it for a long time to make some profit.
If you want to maximize your profits, then always prefer to invest in bitcoin when its price is still low. And with its current price at $39,456 its still a good time to invest in bitcoin. As long as your intention is to make it as a long term investment, you will never lose in bitcoin. Losses are only visible if you started buying in a bullish market, and then you expect its price to stay in top. Of course its not gonna happen. The bear season is always waiting for its turn too so that it can give another opportunity too for new investors in the market.
1451  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin the best investment at the moment? on: March 10, 2022, 07:32:58 PM
It can be said that bitcoin is a very promising investment at this time, when the pandemic period or more than 2 years and made many types of investments go bankrupt but bitcoin continues to shine and get great attention from economists, and now news about cryptocurrencies is getting massive so it will make us don't hesitate to invest bitcoin.
Along with the times, of course, we all expect safe, easy investments and can also be a store of value in every existing condition, besides gold, it can be said that bitcoin is an alternative that is quite feasible for us to consider today, because with its speculative movement, it is certainly possible us to be able to get a high return if we keep it for the long term.
There are great potentials in bitcoin that will even grow in the years to come. This is why bitcoin is the best investment today because its not only for short term gains but more on for long term profitability. Also, big institutional investors have come to trust bitcoin and take the risk investing with a huge amount. So how much more for regular investors like us? Bitcoin may definitely be a high risk investment but rest assured its ROI too is worth the risk.
1452  Economy / Economics / Re: Sanctions left and right, Can the Russian economy survive? on: March 10, 2022, 06:48:09 PM
-snip
It not only damages both countries but also affects the global economy. Everyone is going through a period of high inflation when the price of oil, the price of essential commodities has skyrocketed due to the effects of the war.
The two countries should end this war as soon as possible.
Russia is a great power, if it gets deeply involved in this war, Russia will be the one to bear the heaviest losses.
Russia might be smiling now knowing that the effect is widespread and doesn't only happen to them. Instead of feeling down or feeling pressured, they are going to feel calm while others can't help but feel the opposite thing. They are blaming Russia now for the effects that they feel.

Pretty sure Ukraine wants to this war now badly, the more that we wish but the decision was all up to Russia. Their mindset is different from us or to Ukrainians. Until now there is still news about the war, they keep updating if what are Russia's latest actions against Ukraine. Are there any countries before which economies have not survived? I guess there aren't any yet. Russia can for sure survive this too.
Putin has been preparing this war for long so i think the Russian economy can still survive which is considered the 11th biggest economy in the world. But it would be a very complicated economy for sure. With all the unprecedented international sanctions against Russia, clearly its economy right now is not doing good. But if Putin will chose not to end this war, its always expected that there will be extension of international sanctions against Russia and the people will definitely experience the hardest part as these sanctions will cut off all their necessities and everything essentials in life.
1453  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A few key points distinguishing traders from gamblers on: March 09, 2022, 08:25:01 PM
The gamblers should always get prepared that the market does not work in a way that everyone think it's going to go. Market is unpredictable and those who are gamblers would tend to loss more when things go wrong. Although there is always a urge to leverage more when one thinks the market is going to dance to our tune. I think the newbies trader sometimes do fall in this situation because of weak knowledge about the market.

For newbies, better be ready to lose money in the beginning, I think that is a given fact. You can't simply trade and be 100% on making money. So for me it's good to lose money but at the same time learning through experience. For gamblers, they doesn't care, as long as they think they will profit, they will bet everything they had. As compare to a good trader, wherein he looks for market signals before putting money into the game.
Good traders do not just trade easily, they do it with skill and proven strategies that will work on them. And they always create market analysis with technical indicators to come up with a reliable market to trade. However, with gambling, they mostly rely on luck. If they think that they will be lucky that day, they will gamble all what they have for profits. But at the end of the day, its the house that mostly win, and gamblers usually go home with empty pockets.
1454  Economy / Economics / Re: Never expect you to be rich without investment on: March 09, 2022, 07:29:15 PM
In order to be rich, you have to have something that'll make you rich, otherwise it's just wishful thinking. You have to put in not only the money, but also the effort and time to make your investments grow. I think most people already understand this, but doesn't have the willpower to make it a reality for themselves.

At this day and age, financial literacy and having an investment is very crucial. If you do not have any of this you're sure to get your finances ruined and your future affected. IMO people should learn how to invest and how to pick the right investment with the amount of money that they have.
With all the basic commodities totally in price surge these days, we cannot expect that relying from our job salary alone will make us rich because that is even hardly enough to cater for our needs. But if you learn how to invest, by prioritizing buying some good assets rather than liabilities, that will give you an opportunity to make wealth. Investing these days is the right avenue to give us more chances to make profits, of course this will be possible if you have the good knowledge about it, positive mindset and patience that will help you to stay long from your investment.

Giannis will attack if he saw that there's no tight defense,

Giannis will always attack the rim regardless of there's a tight defense or not. It's not just during when there's no tight defense.

Attacking the rim is his specialty. He already crash several good defenses by any team even before and that makes Milwaukee Bucks one of the best teams in the league that does have good stats in terms of inside scoring.

Stopping Giannis not just requires caliber players. Role players are enough. A good defensive key is a must. But even stopping Giannis, there are still lots of options for the Bucks to score a bucket. This team is really tough to handle in reality.

Exactly, the Bucks have really improved now, they have a lot of shooters surrounding Giannis and they are always alert when Giannis pass them the ball. Usually, Giannis will only be limited if you put 2 to 3 defenders on him, but since Giannis have learn to be an effective passer, that kind of strategy won't work anymore against him and the team.

1457  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Women's Day Wishes to all Women Bitcoiners on: March 08, 2022, 09:28:15 PM
Women are a minority in crypto universe because they have aversion to risks, while men are usually prone to take risks and to explore new things most people are still unaware of or uninterested for. It's part of the nature of each gender, although of course there are exceptions, but that can't be used to invalidate the main rule anyway.

I think people shouldn't worry about bringing more of this or that kind of person to cryptocurrency. Every crypto adopters worth, doesn't matter their gender, race, class, religion, ethnicity, etc...

You can't proof this with numbers because we do not know that the person holding the bitcoin in wallets is male or female. As more people have become aware of bitcoin, girls and women are equally interested in crypto.
Its hard to make an estimation for those women who are involved in crypto because most of them hide their identities for security reasons. We won't even know if some of us here are women who are already actively participating in signature campaigns. I guess crypto can bring more opportunities not only for men but equally for women too. As long as the interest to learn in crypto and the will to take the risk is there, then women can still be as capable like men. After all, women today are more flexible than before, and what men can do, women can also sustain doing that. Though there are exceptions when it comes to jobs that requires masculinity, but in some other careers women can certainly excel in that.
1458  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: PROFIT must not be top priority in trading, instead of LEARNING first. on: March 08, 2022, 03:20:42 PM
Before deciding to trade of course we have to think about the right capital which is cold money,
because in trading the risk of losing money is very large so by using cold money at least we are not too sorry if you lose money,
Cold money or not, it's better to trade with the amount you can afford to lose.

most importantly we must also be smart in managing finances
That's easy to say but not everyone would have that mind of being smart in finances. But I think it's already attached if you're a trader, you should also be good in finances as you trade.
It was hard because we are not focusing on that, we often ignore it while giving more focus on how to make a profit. Very unlikely, but these pro-traders had made changed their mind due to their experience. It was supposed to be our doing but sometimes we have been brag by our emotions and leads to the other direction instead of following the plan.
This is the result if we don't have a concrete plan and enough knowledge about investment, and about trading as we are very close to losing than to make a profit.
If we don't follow the patterns to achieve good trading, most likely we end up making losses. This is why learning in trading should never be the last option but it should always comes first. Apparently, early traders have been learning so hard in trading that it even take years for them to learn and master trading, and so they comes out more successful. But with new traders nowadays, they are always driven by their emotions and go into trading directly thinking to maximize profits. But as expected, they end up failing because they don't even have the basic knowledge in learning how to trade and developing the skills and strategies first.
1459  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin failed to fulfill the purpose it was created for ? on: March 08, 2022, 07:49:13 AM
Its already alternative to fiat as of this moment but the main issue is that it isnt really that regulated which is something you can call for it to be that really legalized or something like that but speaking with overall

utility and usage then we are actually seeing it and the demand is keeping on rising as years passing which means that theres really some support to it.It hasnt failed but also it hasnt succeeded yet.

Just dont mind or think that it could replace fiat anytime soon because it wouldnt happen no matter what if you do ask me.
Yes Bitcoin didnt fail but not completely succeeded because not everyone is aware of its existence to use it as an alternative to fiat. However for those who are already using Bitcoin (either as currency or investment), they can already use it as currency for purchasing online since many shopping stores and merchants are already adopted Bitcoin as their accepted means of payment. So its a matter of choice for users who already engage themselves because we have the right where we want to use it for our own benefit.

On the other side, Bitcoin remain uncontrolled by the Government however like what other replies said, it can be regulated. Despite that many countries are now starting to adopt Bitcoin, set it as legal (though not as legal tender). Hence people can use it freely and not being restricted, its a good thing already.
Bitcoin has slowly become mainstream and known to everyone. This is why some of those institutional investors preferred bitcoin over fiat. But is it really acting as an alternative to fiat right now? I would not say no, nor yes. Other countries may have accepted it legally while some are still hesitant and chose to regulate rather than use it as a currency. However, i believe the process will not be easy. Fiat is still more valuable because it is backed by the government and central bank and that people are already used to it. And for bitcoin to remain uncontrolled by the government, until now its still decentralized. But with those planned regulations later on like USA, the government may likely to have less controlled on it.

I think this is a lot easier for us at the moment because I am also a new member so I think if you want you can get the solution of anything from youtube but you must specifically search for you on trading youtube then you must have some good trading related content videos.  You will get these which I will be able to train you very well with a very good training from these.
Right education is the key, so its still advisable to only learn from the legit sources since there are YouTubers who don’t teach the right way and purely advertisement only. Books is a good one as well, trading is a general course I mean you can apply this on any market so it doesn’t matter if its about stocks or forex, as long as its a trading book, that can be a good one.
Youtube can’t be trusted with regards to trading, though some of them really teach you how to read the market but I also believe its not enough for you to be good. If you already have the basic knowledge, you can try the demo account or trade with at least a minimum capital, having a trading experience is still a good source of knowledge, this will help you to be better.
I have to agree with you. There are youtubers who have become biased already when it comes to crypto trading and their contents are definitely beyond what is truth. You have to be more careful analyzing their suggestions or advices as you may end up getting the wrong information though few of them are still giving us what trading is really all about. Better start learning on your own reading all those articles that are available online. Also, have your own free demo account before you step into real trading. And lastly, have your own experience in trading as its certainly the best teacher after all.
