Re: Robert Kiyosaki Predicts $1M Bitcoin as US Spirals Into Giant Crash
by
Jating
on 27/04/2025, 23:00:30 UTC
For those who haven't read most of the thread, he said that it will likely be $1M in 2035, which makes sense. How many halvings will we get there? I also believe that we'll get there in due time, but not for this cycle or maybe the next one. But I'll love Fink more if his prediction happens for this year. Robert is a known Bitcoin holder and he's always bullish about its future price. For every podcast that he's asked or discussed about Bitcoin, he always boasts his predictions about it. I mean he's with us so we cannot hate him, we can hate him for other things but not for his liking for Bitcoin.

When we get close to almost 99% of all Bitcoin has been mined, maybe 2-3 halvings from now, maybe we will see this kind of price. What I don't like about Robert though is that he is throwing this absurd numbers right now.

I remember him predicting that the price will be $200k for this cycle. For most of us, that numbers might not be reach although it might be closed though. And with that, it's obvious that he is shilling for Bitcoin and he could have bought a lot already and just waiting for a huge profit. And he suddenly pops up though in social media during the pandemic and so it makes me wonder did he really need that? Or he is turning into McAfee 2.0 (RIP) shilling?

Re: what is your definition of a true gambler?
by
Jating
on 27/04/2025, 22:30:32 UTC
We read a lot about gamblers who are very aware of the risks of losing,  and because of that awareness, they’re already willing to lose even before they start gambling. What happens is, they become more loss-oriented (to stay in control) instead of win-oriented.

So for you guys --  do we still consider them real gamblers?

Or are they just here doing some kind of experiment?

Perhaps what to meant is impulsive gamblers here? I mean those gamblers who don't have the self-discipline to stick with their plans. And once they got the feel of losing, something in their mind switch and then become to lose control and then just go YOLO.

As compare to gamblers who has a set of limit as far as their capital and if that empty, then they stop. So there could be different kind of gamblers around here, the impulsive and the self-discipline one but still falls down on one category as a true gambler. So there is no definition per se for me, it's just some are really strategic, while others decision are clouded after a lost.

Re: Boxing: Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. - June 28

on 27/04/2025, 14:33:51 UTC
This kind of events feels totally rigged to me, after the past fight from jake paul vs tyson i desidedto not Watch more fight from paul again, those events are like WWE to me, we can't consider those ones as real fights

I will wait until jake fights against canelo Álvarez, that would be the only fight that really woth it to Watch.

It's because it's not real boxing fights, this is still exhibition and although they try to hurt each other in the ring, but upon closer inspection they are not. Just like in the Mike Tyson fight, it seems that Tyson is not giving 100% on his power punches that's why people see this fight as being rigged.

However, if there are still fans willing to buy expensive tickets to watch this fight then Jake will continue to milk and scam them for choosing fighters that is old and that he can easily beat but he will hype it up as if the opponent will have a chance to beat him.

I don't think there was an agreement to not hurt each other in the Jake Paul fights, perhaps in the Mike Tyson fight they agreed to something because the guy is like 60, but we will never know. I think there was no fix, it was just that Jake Paul showed respect and did not punish him a lot more on the later rounds when age shows on these fights. On the other fights, I think they were real fights. There's no way Tommy Fury agreed to anything with Jake Paul.

We can't compare it to Tommy Fury fight though, I mean Fury has nothing to offer to Jake Paul that time, maybe the animosity is real between the two, but still the amount of money Paul make as compare to Tyson is different.

These guys don't get along and they put a lot on the line. You have a lot more to win by KO'ing the other guy, so I think they both accept the risk of getting KO'd in order to have a chance to hit the big win and produce a lot of social media traffic which translates in more money and better future fights. Perhaps Jake Paul has enough money to influence certain fights if he is buying some broke guy, but I doubt any of these would agree to take a dive. If you look at Jake Paul opponents, these guys have too much of an ego to agree to lose against the youtuber. These guys just try their best on the fights. Now when it comes to Floyd Mayweather exhibitions.. then I would see how he is just agreeing with their opponents and giving them a big payday to take an L, since you are taking an L against the best ever anyway, so you don't look bad. However, taking a an L against a youtuber, it doesn't look that great on your resume.

For the Tyson fight, yes we did see some respect for Mike Tyson in this fight. But still though, they are there in the ring to hurt each other, unless you really don't want to. Although Jake Paul already denied that it was a setup and rigged fight,

Quote

Claims that the recent record-breaking boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson was rigged are “incorrect and baseless … illogical and inane,” the fight’s promoter said in a statement Monday.

Paul won the controversial bout, which was the most-streamed global sporting event in history, via unanimous decision after eight two-minute rounds, with judges scoring the fight 80-72, 79-73, 79-73.

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), which was co-founded by Paul, defended the authenticity of the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s victory, writing that suggestions to the contrary were “fictitious.”

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/26/sport/jake-paul-mike-tyson-not-rigged-spt-intl/index.html

But still very hard to imagine that Mike Tyson seems to be adamant in this fight, maybe he was really old. Just so sorry though for those who bet on Tyson winning this fight.

Woah, what a game between Nuggets and Clippers. What a finish by Gordon. That was very close. He was almost caught by the buzzer.

Meanwhile, Butler is out in Game 3 against the Rockets. I hope Kuminga will perform consistently to help them get ahead in their series. A much needed win for them while Butler is out to make their chances longer until Butler comes back.

It was another cliff hanger game, and I thought that it was another game that there will be a big comeback, just like what OKC did against Memphis in game 3. And it was really poise that this game will do down that way.

However, teams that make a huge comeback somewhat fell short as they got tired legs or in this case, suddenly gets the unlucky break. As Gordon was able to get the shot in time, but it was very very close call though.

Re: Stop Chasing Perfect Entries. Start Mastering Your Exit

Everyone’s obsessed with entry points. The perfect buy. The magical dip. The “if only I got in sooner” syndrome.

But here’s the truth. Most people don’t need a better entry.
They need a better exit.


I think both are important, because once you enter, it might be very hard to exit unless you have really a good plan. We can't change the past, and so be it. Just enter whenever you can and that's easy. But then again, as you go along this market and navigate it is also equally important to know when to exit, but at leas it should be investing in years already so that you can maximized your profits.

There are investors who doesn't want to go that length of investing in long term and would rather be just getting the profits every time they see. But to be able to be successful in Bitcoin investment, for me the exit plan should be at least one full cycle.

Re: Bitcoin is a tool of financial power.

Jating
on 26/04/2025, 22:00:04 UTC
I agree with you that we have become afraid of a scenario that has become very likely, which is that Bitcoin will become a tool of control, despite its decentralized structure. A limited number of Bitcoin units makes it a scarce value, and everyone will seek to own it. With the expansion of individual ownership, Bitcoin will become a store of value, and those who own the most will be able to control the supply and demand market. A decentralized design does not mean decentralized use either.

I wouldn't say that they are going to control the supply and demand market, as this is close to manipulation. And we have heard this before, that a large whale could manipulate the market but we haven't seen any proof yet.

So as far as entities goes, it's the exchanges, casinos, and personalities like Michael Saylor who might have a huge bag but it doesn't mean that they have total control. For me it is still us average joe investor that makes up the most of it as some of us could be in the market for so long already.

Re: Navarrete vs Suarez WBO World Junior Lightweight Championship May 10 2025
by

on 26/04/2025, 21:22:25 UTC

Despite having two losses, it is still stronger than Suarez. I also watched their video, so I am more comfortable betting on Navarrete.

I agree that Navarrete has the upperhand on this fight. But I expect a very competitive fight between the two Suarez is no patsy who knows, there will be an upset on this fight I'm not expecting but hoping that Charly will give out all the best I have followed his career. He may not be a standout fighter, but the guy can fight.
I'll watch the fight in support of Charly. Like I said, I'm not expecting but hoping.

Certainly, Charly has a chance to win it might be slim though, but we can only hope that he will really be in the right condition and 100% ready when he face the Mexican, otherwise the odds might be correct here.

Everyone loves to see a underdog win, specially with the likes or the style of Navarette. Although he has lost a fight already, but in this division he is the key so dethroning him will set ripples to the Junior Lightweight division. And maybe after Navarette win this fight, there is also another Filipino in the radar here, Mark Magsayo which is rank #3 currently, while Suarez is #1.

Re: Can BTC break through $95,000 resistance this week ?
by
Jating
on 26/04/2025, 20:46:50 UTC
What’s your opinion, do you think it will pass above the current resistance zone of $95,000 in a few days or not ?
The price of  Bitcoin got to $95k yesterday before it dropped to $94k so it is a sign that the price will go further than $95,000 in the coming days, maybe before the end of the month because the market is still in a bullish state which means there is a possibility of rising anytime sooner. The market is trying to recover after some downtrends it experienced weeks ago but since the ETFs have bought more bitcoins and there is also inflows from individuals and other investors, the market is set to experience another dimension of bullish trend that can even lead to reaching a new ATH.

And it is called resistance for a reason because it's going to be very hard to break it. Now it dropped to $94k and so it means that we might have to try on another day to break the resistance of $95k.

Market though is very resilient and breaking this resistance in front of us might take several attempts. But one thing that could go for us is that we have several days before the end of this month. So if the market targets it in the last 3 days and there is enough positive news, then we might push it and break that hump.

Reaching new ATH though might take sometime, but eventually we are going to hit that no matter what.

Re: Always think positive
by

on 26/04/2025, 12:55:49 UTC
There’s this “always think positive” mindset when I’m gambling... but honestly, the results aren’t always positive.

Have you ever been in that situation too?

I think this is just about normal for most gamblers to really think positive when they play and that the next outcome of the game will be favorable to them. But in any case, this could also be very bad because you might think that being positive will be enough which is very wrong. And then you might go for another set, let's say in a roulette and bet either black or red.

One more try and that's it. But then again, after you win, you are going to continue and play and that positive mindset will push you. And then after that, you end up losing everything you have. So we really need to think logically.

Re: Need some advice!
by

on 26/04/2025, 11:29:37 UTC
Right now, we're all enjoying the NBA playoffs. So far, I’m being more aggressive with my bets because I feel more confident the best teams are playing!
But even though I believe I can win, sometimes I get greedy because, honestly, my bankroll isn’t that decent.

Sometimes, I aim to win like 10x my bankroll.
So what I do is bet on games with higher odds, like I’ll watch the game, wait for a team to fall behind, then when the odds shoot up (like x5), I hammer it.
But based on experience… it’s not really working out anymore.

So with this strategy, did you got the OKC Thunder and live bet on them against the Memphis when they are down like 20 points? Because if you did then it could have been a good win for you as the Thunder comes back from that huge deficit and won the game.

There’s also the standard betting with odds like 1.90,  it's safer, but the journey feels so slow.
That’s why sometimes, I really get tempted to chase those high odds.

Any advice for me?

It's very hard to give advice mate, but for me, I will go with the safe bet like single bet. Just like in the Knicks vs Pistons, the Knicks in the favorite but just slight. But still the line started at 1.87 ML so that is good enough odds for me to pour some big money on it.

Instead of chasing like bigger odds, or even a multi leg parlay and then you have to wait for the results of the other games. But the thing is that just one L will obviously ruined your bet and it's going to be hard to accept it mentally.

Remember that they just fired the coach that brought them their first ring? Now they look like they've lost as there are times that Jokic tries to be the coach and you can see his the frustrations in his face. So they are not the underdog in this series and the next game will still be at Clippers homecourt so they better show in the next game as they will be down 3-1.
The outcome of this series is crucial as it might even lead to Jokic leaving the team if they lose.
You can really see the frustration. He’s not happy anymore. And for a guy who usually doesn't complain much, this is not the kind of Jokic we want to see.
If this problem keeps going, I wouldn't be surprised if the Nuggets never recover.

You know, Jokic has a lot of pride because he’s a former champion, an MVP -  he has so much to lose if they just crash out in the first round.

True, but the thing is that they don't have the coach that maybe they are playing comfortably, although he has been criticizing his team prior to Malone being fired. But I think he just want to motivate this players.

But obviously, the problems has started to shown in this series, Jokic is frustrated and yeah it could be the beginning of him wanting to get out of the Nuggets because he is no longer feeling motivated with his team mates.

Q1 is over and Q2 has just started with BTC making a fool of everyone, give hope of pumping back to 90k but faced a rejection and went for a new low currently lots of traders don't know what to think of the crypto market anymore project postponing their listing date and all things isn't looking suitable for the BTC. Does anyone think we would see BTC at 103k this year, or we would get to 50k or even lower? What are your expectations for BTC this year?
The reason why many people say that everything can happen at Bitcoin prices, you can see for yourself that it doesn't take long Bitcoin to return to $90,000 and potentially to $95K. I made this post without looking at the price chart, because the last time I was in the market about 1 hour ago.
Maybe in a short period of time you will also see for yourself that Bitcoin goes down again or even a contrary.
DCA, yes that's the right strategy if you don't want to be late or do not want to be disappointed because you don't have time to buy at the right price.

We've hit $95k if I'm not mistaken, it was brief was short though, because it means that the market is still in the bullish state as there are others who think that we have started the bearish trend already.

Now, we have settled down to $93k, and still a strong price as we haven't seen this for a long time, at least just above the $90k price level. And with the whole confidence back in the market again, I wouldn't be surprised to see that we are going to touch base 6 digits again Just be patience and mentally strong and continue to buy if we have the money and accumulate.

Betpanda os one of the new casinos with sport betting features, you may like to take a look at the casino to see if it what you can decide to use and try out, and apart from Betpanda we still have some few projects in the sport booking market that are also doing pretty well.

I agree with this one, although they are new in the sports booking services, but if you have to check their odds, it's very competitive as compare to others. Although there are big names out there as far as sport books goes, and I do agree that they are already established, but it might be good to try others to get that kind of experience.

So best of luck and hopefully the OP might get to play on old sports bookies or experiment with a new one.

Weekly budget for me, depends on the circumstances as well. If I won my bet at the start of the week then I can extend it. But if I lose like in the 3rd day, then I will go and be quiet for the rest of the days, Lol. But that's it, if we are not that discipline and we don't have control, then there's no budget for us.

And if we have that kind of mindset, then obviously we will lose a lot of money. And for the majority of us, discipline is the key to not let ourselves fall on catching up. And for the money that I've lost, I don't write it down, I just mentally see how much it is and then let it go.

Cavaliers will sweep out Heat by 4-0 as it seems. The same for Thunder against Grizzlies as well. But none of them is surprising considering how tough the matchups are for Heat - Grizzlies duo.  Tongue

Nice to see that Lakers won Game 2 to make it 1-1. But still I expect a very challenging series for them. The team still don't look ready for achieving bigger goals. But having Doncic in roster is very promising for the future no matter what.

It's because it's the number 1 team vs the number 8. So obviously, the top team have a lot of advantage in this series. Although we have seen some number 8 seeds pull a miracle and upset the number 1 team, but not in this case. The Heat make it a very close game with the Cavs, but in the end, they really fell short as the Cavs has more firepower and they have a solid big lineup.

Same with the Thunder, many options for them and they have a good defensive player assign on Ja Morant. Yes, you can't stop him, but he was just limited to like below 24 points per game which is a far cry from what we know of Morant as he can exploded and score 30 points or more.

I do not know if the correction is over but I know bitcoin price may not fall below $75000 which I see as a very strong resistance. There is a strong resistance around $83000 now and there will be another around $80000 but a more stronger resistance around $75000 if there would be any fall. Bitcoin is a good asset for having this kind of strong support. I know that the second half of this year will be for the bulls. Bears at the time would have been turned to be bulls also.
We are still dipping into the correction phase and there is no need for us to rush ourselves out of this face of the market yet since a lot of investors are still taking advantage of the current correction to fill up the bag that they offload in the last all-time high price.

Although we have seen the price going as high as $95k. But yeah, you could consider this as a correction if you want to call it that way as the price is still way below 6 digits. But still good to see that the price have bounce back.

Some speculators have predicted that Bitcoin will touch so.e where around $65k despite that we argue that the price of Bitcoin will not fall below $70k at most, but since everyone is free to speculate the price potential of Bitcoin, is less important to give much thoughts to such speculation and focus on investing amount we can afford for now.

For now, if those who are saying that we will reach that price base on their technical analysis, then it could have been invalidated already and so they will need to go back to the drawing board as see and predict where the price will be. But again, in this week's movement, we are in the bullish trend already.

So, don't sell to them instead, hold patiently and in matter of time depending on your goals and assets values, you could imitate them (whalers) or could even be one in the future.
You don't keep bitcoin forever; you sell them, you rebuy, and you also can't be imitating someone who is not in competition with you and someone whom you are not in the same financial position with.

Yeah, I think this is also one good strategy, it doesn't mean that when you sold, you can't rebuy at a lower or higher price. You can reset anytime. Maybe you sold because there is some kind of emergency that you needed funds so don't think twice of dumping your Bitcoin and then rebuy it later.

If we are all holding our bitcoin and we don't transact with them from day one, there is no way that bitcoin could have gotten to where it is today. Money wealth distribution is allowed, and at the end of the day, almost a large number of holders are all in for one thing, which is making profit, so what's the point when you are actually going to sell off one day? And mind you, you can't secure all the profit.

That's Bitcoin's liquidity, and the market is open 24 x 7 and everyone can trade to make profits. That is the beauty of Bitcoin, many are  trading in millions or even billions everyday. You can convert your Bitcoin anytime to cash and won't affect the price itself.

Re: Usyk - Dubois Rematch Possibly July 12 Undisputed Heavyweight, Wembley, London
by
Jating
on 23/04/2025, 21:52:46 UTC
The Joshua fight is what really gives Dubois that confidence, in that round he was also hit by Joshua and I thought that Dubois might go down. But he keep his composure and that is the mistake of Joshua as become the aggressor but was caught by the huge power by Dubois.
That was the first time I saw a fighter who was not afraid of Joshua's power and reputation. Dubois just go there and attacks Joshua as if he doesn't care if he gets knocked out with Joshua's power. Joshua was so confident before the start of the fight; his overconfidence ruin his strategy

Quote
However, if Dubois has gain a lot of confidence in his last 3 wins, Usyk though has a back to back fight with Fury and won both of that. So I guess it's the experience vs the more hungrier boxer match. So we will see which one will prevail, but in this scenario, usually the more experience and seasoned boxer won and remain the top dog until he lost his prime.
I prefer to ignore the first fight and just focus on their performances after their match, and for me, Dubois is the one who improved a lot but he needs more than just power; he needs endurance because Usyk is always ready to last the whole 12 rounds.

Fair enough, even though that have a fight after, we should not take it into considerations, so that we don't want to be emotional specially if we are going to bet on this fight. I just check one crypto sports bookies and the odds are not yet released.

Of course Dubois will have to make himself ready to for a full 12 rounds, not to get tired because that's one area that Usyk is known, he has a great stamina and could be very well consistent, while his opponents is fading in the championship rounds and that's where he takes over.
