Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama just made a remark saying the NBA is less physical than his games in Europe. We can't blame him for that since he hasn't experienced the real one yet but I'm pretty sure some US players who read that are going to get a piece of him. He's in for a rude awakening hehe. Exactly, I’m starting to doubt him due to his recent opinion since Spurs is currently at the bottom of the standings. I wonder if he can play even a full quarter on NBA regular season especially against hard core big man like Giaanis, Jokic and Embiid. I'm sure that his hamstring will gonna ache much once he receive consecutive blows on a real physical game. He even struggling on summer league. I think his comment is just to boost his morale since people is expecting a lot on him while he can't display a very dominant performance to carry his teammates. Victor's comment sounds a bit cocky, considering he only played 2 games in the summer league. As I see it, summer league games and regular season games are completely different things, and it makes no sense to compare them. As for whether Victor can play against other big guys, I think he will have a hard time in the paint because guys like Jokic and Embiid weigh a lot more than Victor, and they will probably dominate him. Perhaps he doesn't meant that way though, he is still a kid so give him some slack. Of course the big test for him is against those big guys in the league right now, like the reigning MVP Joel Embiid and former MVP and NBA champion Jokic. Let us give him some time to digest what NBA style of playing is. Even Luka says that it's easy to score in the NBA than in Europe and it's true to some sense as we have seen Luka giving us some numbers in the last couple of years. |

The reality is that Bitcoin isn't the only thing that counts. Even if Bitcoin becomes the only legal tender in every country in the whole world, I can say with 100% certainty that there will still be poverty and wars and all kinds of evil. Even if all fiat currencies are gone and Bitcoin becomes the global reserve currency and even the only currency the world knows, I'm 100% sure that inequality and discrimination and hatred and greed remain.
Some Bitcoin supporters speak of Bitcoin as if it's something that controls human conduct and character. Far from it. Bitcoin is simply a tool, a tool for everybody; pedophiles, environmentalists, restaurant owners, human rights advocates, artists, meth dealers, and so on.
True, I really don't understand why there are individuals that see Bitcoin as like a magic bean that will erase all humanity's problem, no it's not. It could help alleviate some of them but still there are a lot of problems that no one can solved. Not even those who's the riches people alive, even if they used all their money, it won't put a dent on the world problem. So we are just lucky to have bitcoin to be here, so it's up to us how to take advantage of it. If we wanted financial freedom so be it. |

Now bitcoin price $30k+. Bitcoin price now stable $30k we saw from few days. We saw bitcoin price dumped from 2 years. It touched $15k and gradually it increasing. Still increasing and we think we in bull run session. So where bitcoin price will go it is difficult to say. But my thinking next Bitcoin's price stoppage is $50k. I believe it is not impossible, it is really possible. I think next Bitcoin's price stoppage $50k and then $100k. If all were ok i think within 2024 bitcoin price will hit $100k.
I opened my portfolio today and noticed some increment in my bitcoin holding, on checking the price I saw that bitcoin has exceeded 30k and even exceeded 31k. Although I don't know how far it went but around 2hrs ago I saw bitcoin price at about $31,760. This is a significant increase to the consolidating price of 30k. The other day we were speculating about bitcoin next movement from the 30k range. Some persons said bitcoin might find 25k range from there but a few predicted an upwards movement. It was really obvious that bitcoin wanted to move but the direction of movement was what no one was certain about. It's $31,200 just now, and yes most likely it went as high as $31,760 (but I didn't catch it). And with that the bullish momentum still continues, I think there is some good news in the altcoin market (Ripple labs winning against SEC), that might spill the effect on the market that's why we are over $31k right now. And again, we just hope that it will maintain this price as it become the biggest mental barrier that we need to break. So this is a good indication that at least the market is again not going to be on a sideways patterns and maybe at the end of the month, we can see $32k. |

2nd game ng Orlando Magic laban sa Indiana Pacers kanina, talo pa rin ang Orlando Magic at hindi ulit nabigyan ng playing time si Kai. Di ba usually kapag tambak naman na kayo, pinapapasok na yung mga reserved players para lang din makapaglaro dahil accepted na talo na kayo?
Sa sitwasyon kanina, kahit tambak na ang Magic ay nag stick lang ang coach nila sa 10 man rotation at ito ata yung mga contracted players. Wala, mukhang hanggang invited lang si Kai at hindi mabibigyan ng playing time kahit na sinisigaw na ng audience sa stadium na gusto nila makita maglaro si Kai.
And with that, tama ka, malamang walang game time na maibigay kay Kai Sotto. Pero siguro charge to experienced na lang ulit to sa bata, basta sumubok na lang sya ng sumubok at malaman natin kung meron magbibigay na team na playing time sa kanya. Kaasar naman tong Orlando kasi, tambak naman at ayaw pa ipasok yung mga players na hindi pa nakapag laro eh. Yun nga, tambak naman sila dapat binigyan na ng chance yung ibang mga nakabangko lang. Chant na nga ng buong stadium na gusto si Sotto kaso nga lang baka ininvite lang talaga si Kai para sa fan base ng Orlando. Ang kaso nga lang kapag pupunta ka sa Facebook page nila, sikat na sila sa puro angry reacts. Nayare sila ng mga kababayan natin na doon binabato yung pagkadismaya sa ginagawa ng coach nila. Suporta pa rin kay Kai, anoman ang mangyari. Ito din yung talagang nasa isip ko kung bakit nainvite si Kai eh, dahil nga siguro na alam ng Orlando na medyo mainit ang fan base ng mga pinoy kaya siguro talagang ginagamit nila yung kasikatan ni Kai sa bansa para makakuha ng views ang problema lang dahil din a ginawa ng coach dismayado ang marami, kung sana kahit man saglit binigyan ng pagkakataon ung bata. Nakakasira lang din kasi ng moral lalo kapag yung fans na mismo ang sumisigaw ng pangalan mo tapos hindi ka din naman paglalaruin. Bawi na lang next time yun na lang ang masasabi ko at wala nman na magagawa yung galit nating mga fans. Hindi naman, may ibubuga naman talaga si Kai sa tingin ko at pwedeng maglaro as NBA kung bibigyan lang ng breaks. But so far even sa Summer League eh hindi sya mapasok ng Orlando, kaya nakakapang hinayang lang na hindi natin makita ang talent nya sa loob ng liga kahit ilang minuto man lang sa floor. Pero hindi parin tayo mawawalan ng pag-asa, baka isang game eh pagbigyan na to ng coach at sigurado akong nakikita nila sa social media ang requests ng mga Pinoy na palaruin na si Kai. |

Who wanted to hear any update on this fight? Bad new first then good news? Bad news is that this fight is not going to happen anymore at the original date of July 15th. BoxingScene.com has learned that Donaire-Santiago will no longer take place this Saturday at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas as originally scheduled. The vacant WBC bantamweight title fight will instead land on the undercard of the Errol Spence-Terence Crawford Showtime Pay-Per-View event July 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. https://www.boxingscene.com/donaire-santiago-pull-from-saturdays-show-land-on-spence-crawford-undercard--176086The good news is that it will land on the Crawford vs Spence fight July 29th. I think it's a good move by Showtime, I mean if we go on the Crawford vs Spence thread fight, when the undercard was released, I will say that most of us are disappointed because there is no name in the undercard. So definitely it will bolster the PPV number of Crawford vs Spence and then Donaire vs Santiago will have a broader audience, win-win situation. Should this fight become the co-main event because they are fighting for the WBC bantamweight championship? Does this also give a chance for Nonito and Santiago to have the promotion put more money in their purse? They should be given more money. Nonito's millions of fans from the Philippines will certainly add more eyes to watch Spence vs. Crawford, I reckon. So far it is considered just a undercard and not a co-main event headliner. But I don't know if there will be incentives in terms of money because they are moving to this fight. Of course, as a Filipino we all have been waiting for another big fight from Nonito and definitely we will glued to the tv and watch Spence vs Crawford too. And so it's good to hear that Donaire will have another great exposure and hopefully, he can cash it in. @Vaculin - yeah, that's one downside of it, but perhaps either those who have purchase it at the said date can refund or can be accommodated in the new date of the fight. |

Bitcoin price today almost near reach to $31k but going drop under $30,600 current price right now, looks many time bitcoin resistance and seems waiting more than several weeks later Bitcoin is ready for $40k. Faster correction when bitcoin success reach to higher price is reason why bitcoin need longer time to reach $40k and I don't think in this month has chance Bitcoin can reach to OP expected price.
Still on disappointed position for bitcoin holder who bough on higher price exactly above $60k and they need waiting more longer time to get back their money, its not easy waiting for when bitcoin back to higher price again and how many years needed to see Bitcoin back above $60k due many time published with bad news from every side.
I didn't see the price that it went near $31k again, but it's a good sign that we are still very much bullish up to this month and maybe we just need another good news to push the market to $31k and break the mental barrier in front of us. I wouldn't say that those who bought at $60k are disappointed, maybe they have sold already as some point and then re-invest. But those who are still holding are still not in a lost, I mean it's just a paper lost for them. So just like the rest of us, just be mentally strong and HODL and wait for the bull run next. |

Bear market kaya benta muna mga pinoy hehehe. Pero siguro unti unting nag iipon na naman yan at magiging Report: PH ranks 2nd in ‘ownership of cryptocurrency. Marunong na rin namang lumaro ang mga Pilipino pagdating sa crypto eh, timing timing lang talaga satin.

So babalik att babalik yang mga Pinoy na nagbenta sa ngayon sa crypto o kaya nagsisimula na ulit silang magipon. |

So things are really looking worse and worse everyday for Binance, they keep getting bashed from every side. We have reports of massive net outflows of customers' funds (which is understandable), but what puzzles me is how come Binance's proof of funds does not seem to reflect the situation at all: https://www.binance.com/en/proof-of-reservesIt's showing snapshots of customers'/exchange's balances at the 1st of each month, and comparing BTC and USDT balances at 1 July with balances at 1 Feb (before all the drama started), the customers' funds actually went up. ETH balances went down compared to Feb, but are still higher than at 1 April. This doesn't make much sense to me, or maybe I'm just missing something here. Probably the profits that they are getting out outflow to their proof of reserves that's why the funds are not going down, but instead continue to increase by the day. And maybe if there are customers leaving their platform, their could be some newbies joining them as well. So it's balance everything or their could be more customers joining them in return. The thing with Binance is that they are on top of the food chain, so it's hard to topple them as they are very strong and CZ will not just give up the fight here. |

Looking at the outlook of the market and that glassnode chart shows one thing - that the worst for Bitcoin is behind us for now. In the long run as bitcoin mining rewards will significantly reduce as more halving events come and there would be fewer mining rewards to be sold. While these would have some effects I'm sure one of them would mean Bitcoin would remain bullish for the long term. I would not think it will dumped instead it will create a great FOMO towards future investors and it will surely have a good market feedback towards good price actions. Halving is the event that everyone looking forward which means it is an important part of crypto and bitcoin that will have a big effects the future of it.
Mining rewards have always created strong selling pressure whenever miners make sales, it often leads to a drop in price but that might change in the future since those rewards will be significantly reduced. Most long term holders have always chose to hodl than sell. Yes, but we have to look at why the miners is selling, or why they are selling pressures on them, it's simply because it's business, so they need to sell at some point to keep their operations going. So for miners, there are always selling pressures so I'm not surprised by it. The selling pressures could come from retail though, if they chooses to sell for whatever reasons, maybe they see the price going down hard, or there is a FUD then so be it. We can't control who is going to sell and who is going to have a diamond hand. But for long term holders, it doesn't matter though, we are looking for the long term so we won't be selling even at the height of the next bull run. |

Yeah, not surprised about this fight, when Usyk vs Fury negotiations collapses, sooner or later Tyson will have to look for a dance partner. But there are a lot of criticism about this fight though, specially that we all know that this is just a mismatch fight and Fury will have a lot of fun playing with Francis in this fight. And it can be considered as just another exhibition match, as it is a known boxer against a former MMA fighter. And we haven't seen a MMA fighter beat a decent and very highly skilled boxer. Only way for Francis is to win but one hail mary shot.

Considering Wemby is a 7'3+ Center that has a great ball handling and shot, I have to say the risk of getting injured is there as well. So, I am guessing they are aiming at making his core more powerful, and his legs more powerful along with his knees.
Normally tall players get injured a lot easier, he is a skinny dude as well which means that there is a chance he could get injured a lot easier. So instead of making him play at summer league, maybe they will end up with him training his body instead, he is already talented and making him shoot more shots doesn't really make him all that much better, his body being trained to withheld 82 game season would be much more important at this moment and if he plays 70+ games on his rookie season I will consider that a huge success.
Concerns that Victor may be injury prone are justified as he is too skinny for his height. In fact, he weighs about as much as the average point guard and shooting guard, which means that even small forwards can pressure him in the paint. As I see it, the optimal weight for Victor should be 265-285 pounds to dominate the paint and be less prone to injury. So he should really spend a lot of time in the Spurs' gym during the offseason. Due is 19 years old. It's not easy for a 7'5 19 year old to gain weight, but now he's in the NBA, the worlds premier basketball league. He's going to have access to the best sports medicine and athletic training on the planet. These NBA teams spare no expense when it comes to making sure their players are at peak condition. He will have world class dedicated trainers and nutritionist who will work on growing his body in to a mans form..I'm he's a kid, dude isn't even out of his teenage years. That's one of his advantage right now, he will have the best sports doctor hired and then trainer that will create a program just for himself and basketball and for sure we will see his body transform in our eyes just like Giannis did in his entire NBA career. I'm not saying that he will be a tank or something, but definitely we will see some improvement on his body. Spurs should know buy now seeing his 2 games in the summer league what needs to be done in his body. But we will still have that moves and can dribble penetrate and his height and body will not be a problem. For sure Spurs management are excited right now. |

Seems to be ok now, I guess Theymos is doing something in the background. I don't think that we are being DDoS though, in my opinion. The least of my speculation is that maybe there are programs harvesting some data in this forum to make it slow.
It is working better now but I had a lot of trouble in last few hours and I it was very hard for me to create this topic, and it failed two or three times. To prevent other members posting spam and low value posts I am locking this topic now, but I will unlock it if I notice same problems tomorrow. And now it seems the problem is on-going as of this time. The weird thing is that when you post, it somewhat get hang or something. But when you check your profile, your comment has been posted already. As you can notice in this board already, someone has multiple posts. Perhaps he thought that his original post didn't went through so he just click the "Post" button again. So I will suggest to check your profile after posting to see if it went it or not to avoid double posting. |

Well they have their reason and it's due to High Crypto Crime Rate Linked To P2P Transactions. This is an issue which can be counter by imposing new regulations on the trade , however this should reduce p2p crime in my view
Lol, we can argue about that, it's just saying that you are using crypto with criminal intent? It's not like that, it's the control that crypto is giving to the people, to the population that government wanted a blanket ban or new regulations. But so far we haven't seen any countries that is successful on that campaign, not even USA. P2P might be a risk, but as crypto enthusiasts, I think we know how and when we should protect ourselves against those P2P scammers and other criminals. |

Anyone seen the much touted Jaron "Boots" Ennis this weekend against Roiman Villa? He won by a 10 round stoppage, and later it was found out that Villa suffered a broken nose. For sure we have heard his name as he is the rising star at 147 lbs and said to be the next champion and his name have been put into the discussions against Spence and Crawford. So the hype is real, maybe him and WBA 'regular' champion Eimantas Stanionis will be a perfect match as both have been rank high in the stacked division. And as reported, Stanionis fight with Ortiz was cancelled. Here is the KO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJZbtrut1sw |

Bitcoin hodling is something almost everyone on this forum is eager to partake in or already partaking in.
However I did some research and discovered most forum members do a lot of Bitcoin transaction, and sometimes leaves them with little or no hodlings in their wallets. Of course Some on the other hand have most of their Bitcoins as hodlings in their wallets although they still transact with Bitcoins . Holding Bitcoin is a choice however for those that have Bitcoin holdings how do you manage to minimize Bitcoin transactions to increase your hodlings.
Though hodling Bitcoins can be tempting to transact with sometimes
Well, you can't really just say that they do a lot of transactions and just because it's public you can say that they are not holding. They can used bitcoin mixer to hide their transactions from you. Maybe they have a different set of wallets not exposed in this community, hence it's very private and that's the wallet they put their bitcoin holdings. Remember that it is just an address, there's no name attached to it so you really don't have any idea who that person it in terms of partaking here, for example bitcoin paying campaign. They might be withdrawing their bitcoin and put it on another address and that breaks the connection itself. |

Alanghiya, hindi pinaglaro ang bata natin ng Orlando Magic ah. Daming nagalit na mga pinoy na inantay tong pagkakataon at ginamit lang daw is Kai para sa clout at para marami ang manuod ng laro.
Sayang kahit konting minuto man lang na maipakita ni Kai ang talent nya. Dahil hype na hype ngayon ang matatangkad na player na katulad ni Wemby at ang magbabalik na si Chet Holmgren ng OKC.

As a result of Ortiz Jr not able to fight Eimantas Stanionis as a mandatory challenger to Stanionis WBA belt, the world body has approved unanimously that Eimantas Stanionis now can choose any fighter that he wants to defend his belt.
Although he should also be in line with Spence WBA belt as both are holding it right now, but due to complications like Spence vs Crawford fight and a rematch in the horizon, Spence can't fulfill that.
The only name that I'm seeing in the WBA rankings are:
Vergil Ortiz - removed
Shakhram Giyasov
Keith Thurman
Radzhab Butaev - he already lost to Stanionis
Yordenis Ugas
So Shelly Finkel will have to decide, money wise it could either be Keith Thurman or Ugas next for Stanionis.
