1541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 09, 2022, 12:44:20 PM

I only know that he is calling either Inoue or Donaire, but he was not given a chance to get the fight so he keeps his trash-talking technique but it seems not effective. If he will go up, he won't be a champion anymore so probably he will become a mandatory fighter if he will be in a good ranking.

The problem is he's been calling the champs on the same division but they are not responding to his expectation, what would happen to the sport if champions are afraid to fight his fellow champion and will just use an excuse to justify their refusal to fight. Casimero deserves a chance, they cannot say that they will not fight him because he trash talk a lot and they got insulted, that's so soft of them.

You are saying right that trading is not an easy task. Crypto market has 2 trillion dollar marketcap. So, its very difficult to change the wave of market. So, if market is in bullish zone. then take profit from long position or buy coins at dip prices. But if you feel market is in bearish zone. Then take only short positions. Because, in trading trend in our best friend. So, must follow the trend of market. If you are opposite with the trend then you cannot make money. But you can lose your investment. So, its better for you to first judge the trend of market then take any entry.
the trend is indeed a reference for trading and we should indeed follow the movement of the trend that is happening, many people are against the trend and they end up losing money. different from a flipper who takes advantage of price corrections, but they must really understand the flow of market movements

A good trader must be very flexible so he can drive with the market trends and sentiments because in trading, trends will always tell the general direction of the price of a market. This is the reason why most of the traders should be more good in technical analysis as they will carry out the price forecasts. However, no matter how good a trader or how expert he is, every trader is still bound for losses. But most importantly, his profits should always exceed than the losses he gained so he can sustain more in trading.

No doubt to reinvest because the market looks promising in February, I hope the bad trend from December and January does not happen again so we can get a big profit. And now everything starts to look real because the market continues to grow and today has risen more than 8%.
We are not totally sure if the current prices will continue to move up, so let's not close doors for another correction that will pull down the price again. However, the bad trend that you've mentioned from december to january are the best moments to enter into crypto since the crypto coins are in dips so we should still be grateful for it. We will not be in profits right now if we did not bought some potential coins in the previous correction. But still, i am looking forward to invest more in altcoins today as the market looks stable now. In fact, i have here list of potential altcoins you might want to consider investing.

1544  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Man who lost 7500 bitcoin in a landfill asks gov't he wants to dig it up on: February 07, 2022, 09:13:32 PM
Maybe he can be lucky to get back the hard drive. In this incident it is all his fate. Already this incident is a history, and now once again the history seems to be modified with the lost drive found safely. It is almost 9years after the incident. What he have lost is huge, and there'll be more users who have lost and have their life move on with some difficulty.
It is really a huge incident happen with him. He is on the list of the unfortunate person in the world. I just really wanna to see a ending of the story as well. I think many investor, gamer has lost their asset cause they ignore it when it low in price and didn’t keep the keys and document to back it up. I could not hold myself if there is happen something like this. I am just expecting that he will get back his asset and become happy.
  Although i felt the regrets that he is feeling now, but i really feel that even if he continues digging up until at the present times, the chances to found that hard drive is already very slim. So he should not expect too much that there' still hope to find it, as a lot of years have passed. But hey, its not too late for bitcoin. Invest in bitcoin again so you can regain the profits that you have lost unexpectedly. It will be useless if you keep on regretting, so start all over again as bitcoin will keep on opening doors of opportunities and its up to you how you will seize it.

Unfortunate for us Suns bettors, lol, we thought that it's going to be an easy night for them because Trae Young was reported to be not going to play because of a sore shoulder. But he did play and lead the Hawks to upset the top seed Suns although Phoenix really try their best to make the score close at one point, but in the 4th it was Trae Young and the Hawks.

I also expected that Trae Young couldn't play because of that report, but when I watched the game, I'm surprised that he's there and dominating the Suns, made a spectular 43 points. It was an unexpected turn of event, I really thought that my bet would go through and that the Suns won't have a hard time playing but actually it was the exact opposite Grin Good play by Trae Young and the rest of the Hawks roster, they deserve the win!
1546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 04, 2022, 04:01:52 PM

He need to show that he has a good record with consecutive wins especially with knockouts so that he can convince the management Inoue to negotiate with them since if he just use is loud mouth and suddenly defeated by Butler then for sure the japanese monster will.just laugh at him and leave him completely.
The last fight was a disappointment, we were expecting that Casimero would have an impressive win but it doesn't go that way although he won the game. Inoue himself also said that if he fought Rigo, it might be the same result on the Casimero fight as Rigo is a fast runner and would not be willing to risk to engage.

I still give him the credit for that win since its hard to fall on the trap what Rigo set and they intend to do that just to destroy the focus of Casimero but it ended up bad to him. If Rigondauex will fight him without running for sure we can see a impressive win on Casimero. But unfortunately we didn't see that so its still good to see him playing safe than be sorry after that match.

The fight destroyed the reputation of Rigo, people thought that he should retire already because he is not entertaining anymore, he did not come to fight but only come to survive and take the money. Where's the essence of boxing, it's supposed to be entertainment but you can tell how people were disappointed in the fight, we can ever hear some boos from the fans in the arena.

That fight of Rigondeaux vs Casimero was not too entertaining to watch, Casimero deserved the win but he wasn't given the chance to show his skills and talent because Rigondeaux was always running while punching. By the way, did you guys saw how Rigondeaux behaved after the end of round 6? The man should really be ashamed of himself and there's no doubt that his fans wouldn't support him anymore after that event.
1547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 04, 2022, 03:25:25 PM
Vogel has to go.
Lakers loose again. Reggie Jackson outclassed the Lakers without the assistant of PG and Leonard.As the clippers get the W. Am not sure if it's too management or vogel's management but ty Lue out classes again. I reckon the Lakers will make the playoffs but there is too much talent at the moment in the league and I don't think that the Lakers have the pieces. On a lighter note AD is looking tremendous.
Getting double doubles and scoring 30 is looking in great shape but still fragile.

Anthony Davis doesn't have much of a choice but to carry and led the team while LeBron isn't available yet and that explains why he's playing aggressively in their recent games, I just hope that he won't hurt himself as he's still fresh from his injury. I also think it's really time to give Howard more minutes like the ones in the bubble as he's also very effective in the defense. Westbrook's not contributing well, it's like he's always having a bad night and it's really unhealthy for the Lakers.
I also vote that Vogel needs to go.
1548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: February 04, 2022, 02:37:47 PM
At this point, he is now fully healed physically and mentally from his lost way back 2019 and I know that he's working real hard so that he can redeem his name this time.

For sure he is 100% healthy going to this fight, he has rested for years, maybe has already reflected on his first loss and he will come back strong in this fight proving to the world why he should be considered in the top 3 in the welterweight division. I know we have 3 champions, but as Ugas and Spence will unify their belts, the loser will lose all his belts and that's where Thurman will come out to challenge the champion, that's the best-case scenario.

He should be, and yes by now, he already reflected about it well on his defeat from Manny Pacquiao and he's humble about it and that is already a sign that he will be indeed coming back strong and reclaim his name again in the industry. I also do think that Keith is also going that way after this encounter but he should defeat Barrios first in-order to fight either Ugas or Spence.
1549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: February 04, 2022, 01:46:27 PM
Logan Paul is not Buster Douglas nor Mike Tyson is twenty years old. I don't like this comparison guys. Mike had 58 official fights in his carrier and whats about Logan? 1 or 2? I don't say that Logan is a bad boy but Mike Tyson was in another league.

You don't have to compare these two people because Mike Tyson is indeed incomparable to Logan Paul or the other way around and Mike is a professional boxer while Logan is not, so it's totally nonsense to compare them because as you said, Logan Paul is way out of Mike Tyson's league.
1550  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will 2022 be the year of ETH 2.0? on: February 03, 2022, 11:27:26 PM
I don't know for sure whether ethereum 0.2 will be released in 2022, because there has been no official news from the ethereum developer, but I really hope if ethereum 0.2 is implemented soon, so that the cost of etherem gas can be handled immediately, because I think the fee ethereum is currently a scourge that is very detrimental to small traders, I'm afraid if this gas problem can hamper the growth of ethereum in the future.
it looks like Ethereum 2.0 will experience delays, because the topic of Ethereum 2.0 has been around since last year,
I still hope that Ethereum can cut their GAS, because GAS or Gwei Ethereum are still very expensive,
I have a few dollars and I can't withdraw because of the high fees so expensive,
We have been hearing this news since last year but there is still no feedbacks from the developers team as to when this matter will be address. Hopefully this year, but still no guarantees. I think the best solution is this: "To reduce the cost of your total gas fee through a lower base fee, you could make your transaction on the network at a time when fewer people are using the blockchain. This is because, in a way, base fees are a representation of demand for using Ethereum." source: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+avoid+ethereum+high+gas+fees&oq=how+to+avoid+ethereum+high+gas+fees&aqs=chrome

That goes for all newbies out there.
1551  Economy / Speculation / Re: Goldman Sachs projection regarding BTC on: February 03, 2022, 10:49:57 PM
Quote
Goldman Sachs forecasts a Bitcoin price of $100,000 and the potential of it eventually supplanting gold.

According to Goldman Sachs, Bitcoin may continue to supplant gold as a reserve of value asset and so reach $100,000 a unit. The bank thinks that the BTC is worth $700 billion on the open market. The overall market value of gold is $2.6 trillion.

What are the implications of this news? Is this a possibility?
These would be always end up as presumptions which it would really be just common that there would really be sentiments like this whether a positive one or a negative one.
Neither we do hit 100k or not then nothing is assured thats why better not to mind off that much even though these words could neither give out some impact or not on the market.
Lots of speculations that floats around thats why its really hard to make out predictions and its better to follow your own analysis than following others views.

For sure it will have an impact, Goldman & Sachs is one of the biggest institutions in the US so whatever they can everyone is going to listen to it, weight their investment, or whether to ride the boat or jump out from the beginning.

But as we crypto enthusiast, we know that $100,000 could be reachable, but it might take some time again because the market have shifted to a more bearish sentiments.
I am an optimistic person so i always believe that bitcoin will eventually reach $100k but after a couple of years. Its more practical to say that bitcoin should hit first $40k because that will create positive signs that bitcoin will start to recover and will be able to skyrocket again. However, we should also not forget that if we think on making profits for the next bullish season, then we should start buying coins right now as we will be more profitable if we can buy them during bearish season.
1552  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Trading Bots on: February 03, 2022, 09:53:45 PM
Bot is artificial intelligence that someone program with a certain algorithm. It is program to buy at a particular low and sell at a particular high. Don't forget that the market operates or works on demand and supply.
If the demand and supply change, the bot will do unexpected and may finish your fund.
They wouldnt become crazy because they would follow on the command on which the user had been set out and they wouldnt really just out of control and make your fund bust.
This is just a common misconception for most people that bots could really make easy money but its not how it works and you would soon realize it when you do
make yourself get in hand on using bots and would tell that those beliefs are totally not real at all.

They think that way because this is how the bot seller or referrer tell to them and mostly they show positive stats that's why many newbies think about earning huge money upon buying their own trading bots. If they could just realize that they are just wasting their money for that program for sure they will not think about availing that and they will find at the long run that manual trading still the best method after all.
Crypto trading bots can generate profits but not every bot is profitable. So there is still no guarantee that losing will never happen. But i don't see myself trusting more on these trading bots because the risk is even higher. So its still the best option to have your own method and follow your own trading strategies as it will most likely to gain more profits than these crypto machine programs.
1553  Economy / Economics / Re: IMF urges El Salvador to remove Bitcoin as legal tender on: February 03, 2022, 05:41:07 PM
First of all, how could a deflationary coin like Bitcoin cause inflation? as far as I know, the main factor in inflation is an increase in the prices of goods and services (https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111314/what-causes-inflation-and-does-anyone-gain-it.asp) . And also El Salvador not only use Bitcoin as their currency, they also use USD to support their economy. So the IMF's reasoning doesn't make sense. Moreover, El Salvador is sovereign over the regulations in their country, and the IMF as a global financial organization should respect any decision made by the president of El Salvador.
I think the discussion has become too complex already. From my own understanding, if IMF cannot convince El Salvador to drop bitcoin as a legal tender, i think the best way is to regulate bitcoin in El Salvador. That way, IMF may stop urging El Salvador to narrow down the scope of bitcoin or drop it. Here are also some countries that have regulated, or planning to regulate the use of crypto.

1554  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I was finally able to purchase an iPhone 13 pro max using my Bitcoin on: February 03, 2022, 03:01:54 AM
Since the price of Bitcoin has come down a lot now, it has become foolish for me to buy the phone with Bitcoin.  Because for that I have to spend more bitcoin.  But still I am very happy to be able to do it.  Because in my country Bitcoin is still declared as an illegal currency.  Nevertheless, I got this advantage
With this caption, it could be said that you clearly knew what you were doing and did it anyway. The main idea is, if it feels good to you, then it's okay! What's the point having a currency that you can't use it in satisfying some wants!! And I'm not saying selling at this point is the best idea but then, you want a phone that is a need, you've got no fiat and have got enough BTC to get it. Why deprive yourself and go through an uncertain time of wait on a rise. I'm sure there is more where that 0.029BTC came from and your sure to be adding more to your portfolio over time. At least, its good to know that there are some people who uses it for its original purpose than, just a store of value or asset. More and more used cases makes it more believable and the merchant has made some real investment on his part that is sure to profit if he or she hodls.
I think its known to everyone that its hard to earn bitcoin, unless you are going to buy it with your spare cash.  And we are taking risk to earn it because we have our goals. Now, if that is one of the goals of OP to purchase a quality phone that will be his working buddy, then its definitely worth to buy. We don't live just to keep on taking risks and add more on our assets, there will also be a time in our lives where there is a need to spend regardless of the price because you know it will create satisfaction on yourself. And that what is OP is doing now.
1555  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will competitors defeat ETH due to ever-increasing gas fees? on: February 02, 2022, 11:26:13 PM
Not really... it's hard to build brand like Ethereum. Mainstream people know Bitcoin, and Ethereum... they have either BTC or ETH wallet. That's hard t change.


True, even they don't care about transaction fees because they buy and keep for the long term, the transaction fee is around $12 which is cheaper because they get big profit. I believe ETH will continue to stay in the top rankings for the long term.
People will definitely live on higher gas transaction fees for ethereum than to shift into other alternatives that is not as reliable as ethereum. Even myself, i don't see it that the issue will be fixed sooner, it may take a year or two. However, despite of ethereum's higher gas fees, it has also its own advantage above other alternatives which i think is blockchain technology as its widely used for NFTs and Defi tokens. That makes it more ahead from the healthy competition in the market.
1556  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN - ROAD TO 8,000$ - speculation on: February 02, 2022, 02:17:54 PM
I would spend all my money and nearly all my wealth including real estate to buy Bitcoin around 8000 dollars. Even this proves 8000 is not possible, as I am not alone with it. I think the worst price Bitcoin can go down around is somewhere between 20000 and 25000. Imagine how much demand is there waiting for Bitcoin to go under 30.000 dollars.
Its best to not wait a lot to jump into Bitcoin train.
I like to see that once bitcoin hits $8000. I know some people who says the same, they will buy bitcoin when the price hit at a certain level but when the time comes, they chicken out, they panic because they think bitcoin will collapse and will not be able to recover anymore. I hope you'll stick with your decision and you'll not gonna change your mind.

Grizzlies open up the line as -3.5 at 1.87. I think they can cover -4.5 here so I will go with that bet at 2.00 odds.

I'm going the other way, sorry. Knick had a big win against the Kings in their last game, I feel that they will still win in this game. However, since Grizzlies are one of the hottest teams now, I am now going to take the moneyline but the handicap which is +3.5.
1558  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't be wiser than the market on: February 02, 2022, 08:25:58 AM
This is an excellent suggestion: take the small profit you have and plan for future purchase. But there is one thing that is quite important: sufficient knowledge of cryptocurrency in general, as well as solid knowledge of trading. Also, try to gain experience before investing large amounts of money, and avoid investing money that you cannot afford to lose.
It's a quite good explanation.
Experience is very important to achieve your goal in trading and to be successful in it. If you gain experience and learn from it, every time that you are in trading you learn and avoid those possible mistakes. Yes, we know that trading is not an easy job, it requires skills and knowledge to become suitable in trading not a gambling. Because if you don't this knowledge and skills, it seems like you are in gambling not on trading.

Be wiser than the market and you will be fine, that is the secret of being successful as a trader.
We can be wise as much as we can because traders in general should be more wise and smart. But accept the fact that we can't be wiser than the market itself. Even if we are expert in reading and analyzing technical and fundamental analysis, still they cannot guarantee a perfect trade. There will still be inevitable losses at the end of the day. But we can be successful traders somehow if we can trade with discipline and mental fortitude.
1559  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: IMF urges El Salvador to remove Bitcoin as legal tender on: February 02, 2022, 07:48:37 AM
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) does not want El Salvador to use Bitcoin as legal tender, because they want them to stay with the US Dollar, so that they can loan more money to them and thus control whatever they do in their country. (Their power come from the control they have with the loan sword they have over these countries)

They threatened El Salvador just after they made the announcement that they would adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, that they will not loan more money to them, if they do that.  Roll Eyes

they are afraid El Salvador might pay their debt in full and can do whatever they want. this is what BTC can do for a country so small. if Arizona and Texas bills making BTC as legal tender as well be approved, what will IMF do to them as they are part of the US? 

it may be hard for Arizona and Texas to do make BTC legal tender but there was news about it and all these states are looking forward to making their state like NY or Wyoming making thier cities as BTC citadel.
I don't think the executive board of IMF can stop them if the bill will be approved.  But i see less chances for Arizona and Texas to pass the bill since it will be against on the US constitutional law to adopt another currency aside from the official currency. But let's wait and see if there will be constitutional law changes in the future which i think constitutional laws are more static rather than dynamic.
1560  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for Feb on: February 01, 2022, 01:18:27 PM
I'm thinking that the market is already bearish, so it will not easily recover.

My vote on the poll is "Dead cat bounce", simply because I think the pump is not gonna make bitcoin rise again to $40k, it's just a trap IMO and I think we will struggle at $30k and bitcoin might fall down again. I'm bearish at the moment, in short.
