Only about 2 more months until the NBA is back upon us. I don’t think there’s much room for surprise this year. The Denver Nuggets have been the young team on the come up for a while and I think they’re still the team to beat. I think Phoenix is the team that has a lot to prove. With their roster everyone should be expecting a championship.
Yes, time is indeed running fast, isn't it? Before this month will end, the respective teams in the league will commence their training camp to prepare for the upcoming season and what it could it bring to them. As usual, a couple of underdogs will be on the top in the first two weeks while other teams are still busy rectifying their arrangements while having a test run in the first couple of games. Nuggets will still be a top dog in the league while Nikola Jokic is having a full rest in the summer, and I'll be watching the Phoenix Suns's improvements and as well as the Miami Heat if ever they can acquire Damian Lillard successfully. |

This is a hundred percent rubbish and this is not something you can be proud of when you win against a female athlete when you are a man. boxing is not something you want to see a man and a woman fight inside the ring because they are both different in strength and capability. They should stop these kinds of provokes against female athletes the last time I heard about this one was when that female athlete wanted to play against Cousins in a one-on-one basketball match which did not really happen at all.
I guess these all started when these so-called feminists believed that they could do the same job that a man can do. Well, they are right about that but not in all cases and situation because there is a fine line between that divides us from doing what a male and female can do. What should they do is to focus on their sports which is the women's boxing, but I guess they are now trying to climb the fence because it is clear that they aren't making that much money on their own sports. Back to the discussion, it's quite an embarrassment for Keith Thurman because he had been chosen as the target of Claressa Shields but he cannot do anything aside from keeping his mouth shut as this kind of situation doesn't require an answer as the flame will just get bigger if he do so. |

I would rather start a business myself, shouldn't matter if it's small because that is not my whole point. My point is that I want to experience it personally how to handle some business by creating it from scratch and having to go through the difficulties just to make my brand known to my community up until I can expand into a much bigger business.
It's somehow easy for me to say it but I know it wouldn't be as easy as I imagined it because it's not really my forte as my field is very much different from owning myself a business. It should take me a couple of years and if it will not bloom like the way I imagined it, there's nothing wrong if I will start it again from scratch up until I'm confident enough to grow a business that already existed or in simple terms, franchise a specific brand name.

Weird question. Gambling is an ancient reliable and simple business, just like baking bread. Even if there is a total adoption, gambling will still be more popular than bitcoin, and I'm talking not only about investing in bitcoin (there are always much fewer investors than ordinary users), but about all areas of application in general.
It indeed is a weird question and comparison. I don't understand why would someone compare the fan base of Bitcoin with the fan base of gambling because both of these are totally different things. Gambling is a business that has been around for centuries, there have been changes and upgrades, and updates in all aspects of gambling, but it has been there when there used to be no date, and Bitcoin, on the other hand, is an innovation that is only a decade old yet. So it shouldn't really be surprising that gambling is gaining more fans than Bitcoin, also after knowing that gambling has a different kind of attraction for gamblers towards it that makes them addicted to it, and Bitcoin is not addictive, it is just a great and useful innovation of today's era. Really weird because its so different, he can't compare gambling to bitcoin since in first place bitcoin is currency and that one is activity. Maybe OP overthink to much that's why he come up with those questions that its really hard to connect. Although gambling exist for so many decades and its just other gambling operator just want to adopt new things that they can use where they cannot get disturb easily by government that's why we can see crypto casino exist because they see how big the potential of bitcoin when they use it as their main currency. Yes, that might be it that the OP might've over complicated the situation where-in he did a comparison between bitcoin and gambling when in the first place it's not even comparable. Maybe he thought that somehow it would be comparable because gambling platforms are now taking cryptocurrency as a form of deposit instead of the usual where fiat is needed. Still, it's not really the same because gambling has been with us for a couple of centuries now while bitcoin is still making its name known throughout the world while having the challenge of being banned by other governments. |

Undefeated against MMA fighters. That's the rank of Jake Paul now. But not against true boxers.  Nate Diaz only showed his tough chin but that's it. First round he was knocked down but as an MMA fan and a Diaz fan too, I know that will only boost the morale of Nate and not the other way around. He loves the challenge and when he is hurt, that's when he keeps on going. That is why the fight ended in a unanimous decision instead and not a KO or TKO. I am also glad that the referee knew Nate and he won't just stop the fight even if he is badly hurt. Nate showed how strong his cardio is even against a tough opponent, it ended as a good brawl which I thought will end quickly because Nate is old. He never fails to amaze me even in the boxing ring. That might not be his best when it comes to offense but damn, having that cardio and toughness at his age must feel pretty good for him. I will admit that it was true boxing event atmosphere, lots of fans in the arena watching the fight live. And Nate find a way to survived the first round and I'm glad that the referee didn't stop it early as it will be a big disappointment for their fans. But what can we say, Nate endurance is different, he is very durable. I didn't bet as well in this fight because it's hard to predict this kind of exhibitions. But it seems the Jake is really serious and tries to score a knockdown or a knockout win. The longer i see Jake Paul fight, the more I start to believe that he is actually trying to become a genuine fighter. I heard that he is doing hard work, and i also heard that he is definitely trying to be a great boxer. The reason why i did not respect him was because he was fighting retired guys. But this was a good fight, i was a little surprised to see the fight, go like this to be honest, but it is what it is. I think to get the respect of people, Jake Paul needs to do more. He’s not going to get peoples respect if he just fights against old guys. I think someone asked Andrew Tate about fighting Mike Tyson. He said it perfectly. Basically he said that Mike Tyson is old right now. And it is not going to be morally right for a 36-year-old Andrew Tate, who was a four times kickboxing champion by the way, fight against old Mike Tyson. I guess you can say that but, in my perspective, I see a different version of him because what I think of him is that he was just there fighting in the ring to make an easy money by taking advantage of an MMA fighter who wanted to test their versions as a boxer. While there is also that chance where he is indeed training to be a bonafide boxer but he cannot achieve what he is aiming for if he cannot even defeat a real boxer. Bringing Mike Tyson in the table for discussion is again an easy money because people will surely watch Mike Tyson, not to see if he can still fight because that is not even a question, but people will be watching him because it's nice to see Iron Mike stepping in the ring again as a boxer. |

When traveling to a new country, it's important to be mindful of its unique cultural practices and customs, and Qatar is no exception. We must show respect for their traditions and way of life. However, with the world becoming increasingly diverse, it's essential to recognize that some countries may have different standards and cultures than what we're accustomed to. For example, while drinking beer may be allowed with no restrictions in many places, it's not permitted in Qatar due to religious beliefs. In my opinion, FIFA should consider reevaluating their decision to allow countries with such strict cultural limitations to host the World Cup. It's crucial to ensure that the event is accessible and enjoyable for people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
The world cup is a transnational competition so FIFA should consider other people's cultures or beliefs before giving hosting rights to nations. Most of the most influential or longtime sponsors of the world cup are breweries or brewing companies. The world cup in Qatar made them lose their advertisement slots. FIFA was not too concerned about the implication because Qatar had money to compensate for FIFA's financial losses. But the religious and cultural beliefs affected the world cup negatively. Host nations should be flexible during the world cup period and they can continue with their laws after the world cup. After all Saudi Arabian government permitted Cristiano Ronaldo to cohabit with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez because they wanted him to play football in the country. This means that these laws can be readjusted or relaxed to suit world cup fans. These laws should be restricted to only the nationals of the country and those that have the same religious or cultural beliefs. But fans with different religious views or cultural beliefs should be allowed to enjoy the world cup without restrictions. Yes, that is one example that rules can be bended for certain situations like Ronaldo being exempted with the rules because he is not a Muslim, and the league needs him to bring success on the club and the whole SPL. I bet FIFA have learned a thing or two about what happened in the last World Cup and that made them think that certain scenarios should be exempted even if a Muslim country will host it because it is expected that all kind of people with different culture will flock towards them to be entertained and enjoy the event. As far as I can see it, only two things will happen; 1. FIFA learned their lesson and will not let these Muslim countries to host another FIFA event in the future 2. FIFA will still let these said countries to host an event given that they will flexible enough to accept that there might be some rules that needed to be bend Either way, FIFA is still on the winning side because there are still many countries out there that can host an event successfully without having some problems. A country that is more open and can give freedom to the people that will flock to their country to watch the said event. That might be the case because Saudi Arabia has also expressed their interest that they also wanted to host a World Cup soon and preferably this coming 2030 but they are not alone with that because again, three nations (Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Greece) have combined and submitted their bid to host the 2030 World Cup. So hopefully, FIFA will impose a condition to Saudi that hopefully they are open to the fact that their rules might not apply to the other people who are just there for their country to watch some games. |

That fight was pretty much exactly what I thought it was going to be. Nate Diaz is a pretty terrible boxer and that was very clear after the first round. The only thing that really surprised me about the fight was that Jake Paul wasn’t able to cut Nate Diaz. I thought for sure that there would be lots of blood. I guess now we wait for Nate to get his revenge in MMA with a quick chokehold.
They have yet not reached that discussion AFAIK. Although Jake had been training with UFC fighters, it could just be for Nate to hope he can get even. In boxing JP couldn't KO Diaz but in UFC cage, JP will definitely find himself in trouble when he is not in a real MMA fight and being taken down. That is Nate's world already and JP wouldn't put himself in such a situation. And so the reason why it's not in a contract. Nate may be old for boxing but in UFC fight, Nate has more experience. I doubt Jake will agree to fight. In line with the discussion above, it was already expected that Nate Diaz will get defeated in this fight and he just have no chance at all because aside from the fact that he is not a real boxer, he also doesn't have any knockout power to gain an advantage towards Jake Paul. Which is also the reason why Jake is not that cautious because he knew that he could take and shake Nate's punches. Now for their rematch, no need to be hyped by it because there is a chance that both of them just said that just to hype their first fight and to get the people's attention to make them watch their first fight to see some comparison aside from seeing a boxer and an MMA fighter in the ring. The fact that it wasn't inked makes it more difficult to expect. |

That's right, everything that the Saudi Pro League has done so far, will not produce big results very quickly. Because all of that must be gradual and will not be able to immediately explode and succeed. So you could say this is the initial stage for the Saudi pro league to advance its football world. Maybe at this time the Saudi Pro League is raising the name of their football club. So after this stage, then entering into the training process for local players who are still young will definitely be intensified. So basically the journey for the pro Arab league to increase its quality and degree is still very long.
Saudi clubs have developed perfectly compared to their previous budgets. Perhaps their goal is crystal clear, they want their domestic league to be on the same level as the European competition which they're working entirely to achieved by signing European players over, placing hugh offers for them. What they failed to understand is, they can't just keep signing players that are no longer effective for European clubs, if they actually keen of improving their popularity in the world of football, there primary aim should working towards the supporters, grabbing the big names and important players from Europe, checking at the previous signings, more like average and aged players that are brought over. No need to be hasty about the results because they are still on the process of developing their league while making it known, either way, the Saudi League is going down to that path which is why as of now they are recruiting known players from European clubs to attract people as they are frequently making some headlines in the sports industry and soon players will get in line just to get a contract, that is just the start. Future football stars will start to flock to their league because not only they can provide competitive contracts, but they can also provide an experience just like what the European league can provide them. |

I just think that we should consider that Rubio may have been like this because he played professional basketball since he was 14. This dude could be one of the players with highest epectation for a career out there ever. Imagine being epected to be great sinc 14, its been 20+ years easily. If you are lebron and achieve it then its ok but when you are not that good then it may hurt you in the end. This shouldnt be a big deal to give a break, do some stuff he has fun doing whatever he likes doing. Dont know if he is married or has children but if he is, spending time with them would be a good choice for sure. I wish him the best for rest of his life, I will always remember as a great passer and a good PG
Shouldn't be an issue I think because even before they played professionally in the NBA, they have already known some facts that the greatest players aren't born every day. LeBron James himself did not expect it to happen to himself as by his words " I was just a kid from Akron, Ohio and I shouldn't even be here". He was just playing basketball since then and turns out that he is born to be great at it. What I think is that it would be an issue that will eventually turn into a mental problem if the people around you is giving you so much pressure and expectation that you will be one of the greatest and will change the system of NBA, and in this case it is Rubio. Anyway, we don't know that much about him that led him to this situation, so let's just hope for the best and that he can overcome his challenge much sooner. |

Indeed, for men gambling is a natural thing because it is his style, fun and hobby, but for women I think they are being impudent.
Indeed, when talking about gambling, it is not limited to young or old and male or female. However, when I see women playing gambling, it feels like that... the same thing as when I see women who are drunk and smoking, it just feels weird because this is not their style. And maybe this is because I have never talked to female gamblers so I don't know the exact reason they gamble. Also because most gamblers are men which allows this to be a separate perception of women who like to gamble.
I understand you mate because it's not just you, I bet there are more like us here who think the very same way that it is indeed kind of weird and unusual to see a woman gambling while a having a drink and cigarette on their side. I mean, it's not every day or every week where we can see that kind of view which makes it more weird. I know that in these times, gender doesn't matter anymore as they have the power to do what we can do but for the sake of limits, it's just hard to digest seeing a woman gambling. |

Losing in gambling is unavoidable, but we can avoid losing huge amounts of money with good self-control.
therefore gambling is intended for adults and established. Of course, gambling is not a way to seek cheap pleasure. because there is a possibility that we spend all the money in our account to play. Self-control may not only be possessed by adults. but adults may be quicker to think rationally to be able to decide whether to continue the game or have to leave the game. anyone doesn't want to lose the game, but every gambler must know when to stop playing. no novice gambler is suddenly very good at playing. I'm sure every gambler feels some self-control issues within themselves too. Therefore, if we cannot accept that gambling is not cheap fun, we don't need to gamble, let alone spend a lot of money because we have the possibility of losing. Anyone can control themselves but not everyone can have long-term control and most people will lose self-control after playing gambling for a certain period of time. That is why we also have to limit how long we play gambling so that we can still control ourselves and prevent losing money. Gamblers who experience some self-control problems should be able to practice their skills so they don't become addicted to gambling. And even though it's hard, they have to keep practicing because it's for their own good too. As they like to say it, gambling is a very expensive form of entertainmentWhich is true because aside from getting the money you want if in-case you are lucky on that given day, it's also hard to deny that you will not be entertained that is why people forget sometimes what their boundaries are because of that factor. As always, casino have the advantage because of what is mentioned that is why we should be careful from spending towards this form of entertainment even if we are just chasing for entertainment. |

Hopefully that will be the case for Inoue, stay at the top of 122 lbs division for at least to defend the belt. The problem though if by chance Inoue had all the belts in this division, sanctioning bodies are going to have their mandatory. So it's very hard to defend all the belts that he had that he will have to vacant some of it and then defend either 1 or 2 belts only. And if he doesn't want to, then he can go up in the next weight class and for sure, that's one option as well that he and his team is looking for. So maybe a Casimero fight, as much as we want to see it, the chance are very slim, just saying.
Yup, those sanctioning bodies also want to earn some money by doing mandatory fights but the goal of Inoue is to be a unified champion at 122 lbs and after that he could relinquish some of the belts that he doesn't want to depend but first, he needs to fight Tapales to achieve his goal and give the latter the appropriate money for that fight as it a big fight that I think would earn big money. Luis Nerry or Casimero is the fight they target before going up. It depends if Inoue's camp are planning to make him stay in his current division for long, it has been said that he will stay for like one or two title defense fight considering that he is already the undisputed champion but after that, there's no telling if he will stay or not as there is also a chance that he will climb the next weight class and try to be a champion again. So, these sanctioning bodies may throw successive mandatory fights towards Inoue if they want but nothing will stop him if they are already inclined to fight in the next weight class. He will be stripped for sure if that is the case but that will become irrelevant as he already unified all those belts beforehand. |

I want to find a good Altcoin to invest in before the bull starts, also have a non-custodial exchange. This means, that we have complete control over our funds. If there is, please help convey it, because a lots of new altcoins was born every day.
Seeing a lot of new altcoins in the market these days, which I believe most of them are incapable to sustain their future growth, then I must say I should still stick to ethereum. Regardless of how slow its price hike, but in the end I know its value is still capable to markup. So I suggest go with ethereum if you want to diversify your crypto investment. It’s not how profitable your investment at the moment, but it’s more on how long it will be sustainable and if it has the ability to maintain its growth in the future. |

I would say it’s more negative on the side especially if those parents are incapable of providing their children quality life. When that happens, aside from there will be low quality life expected for them, these people will also add to the unproductive consumers in the country. Except for those who never stops working to provide for their living.
However, if these children were born from a well off family and for sure they will get good education, then they can be assets to the country especially in promoting growth and prosperity of a country’s economy.

2. Don’t marry your positions. It’s easy for a trader to get stubborn, and to hold on to a trade just because he ‘hopes’ it will turn around. Close down a bad trade as soon as possible, take your loss and move on. Your trading journal will suggest the next move.
Follow each trade with a break. Trading goes on at a rapid pace, so don’t get caught up in the action. Take a moment to think about something else, and then come back and deliberate. Now look at your trading journal to get the next idea.
I really agree here and I already experienced this. Because if you are in trading, always remember that there are always a lot of opportunities or there are thousands of future good entry trade positions. So learn to move on and just be prepared on your next trade position because if that time will come, you already have the experience and already know what to do and what not to do. Learn to put limits on your trades. If you think you are missing something, then do not worry. There are still a lot of opportunities coming in the market. If you fail and lose, that’s okay. Trading is never a win win all the time. You have to move forward from every losing moment and never dwell on regretting. Once you become a trader, you should always focus on the positive outcome of your trades, otherwise if you become weak, you’ll get trapped from a single loss and might not be able to trade again for profits. |

Bitcoin as an investment tool is just temporary, it’s originally designed to become a legal currency in the future. But seeing the more people will come to identify and invest in bitcoin, the bigger the promotion it makes so that it will be a co-currency with fiat in the future. It takes time but I guess we’re actually heading there.
However, it’s a good thing that you are not being greedy with bitcoin and invest on it like it’s a get rich quick scheme. Maybe because you know its purpose well more than you see it as a profitable investment. So just keep that kind of mindset and for sure, you’ll have a bright future with bitcoin.

Hello Mates, I wish to venture into trading but I'm just being mindful of the current market situation. Looking at the market, I see instability.
I wish to get the needed guide on how and when to start trading Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies inorder to make some profits to settle some of my needs. I appreciate you all for your kind response in advance.
Trading is hard and is not advisable for newbies in the forum. Instead, acquire knowledge and variety of skills at first so you will know if trading will perfectly fit for you or you will try first the less risk activity which is investing. However, make sure that before you invest, know your coins first and understand what you are investing in the first place. Having such investments even if you hold them for long term may not always be in profits. You have to understand the market first before you decide if you will still pursue in trading or investing. At least be prepared for losses in either way. |

My advice - BE CAREFUL
Investment and trading books, articles and videos are made by people who might not actually be winning traders. They make their money by writing "investment materials" and sell it to us, the plebs.
Plus "as traders", most of you will lose money and leave. Some of you might return and lose more money. Some might have learned their lesson the hard way and just HODL Bitcoin. The few who actually put in the most time, effort and who are well-capitalized might make it.
Not all that talks about trading are worthy of our time listening and reading. Still, we should be careful on choosing those resources that will come to influence our mind and thinking. If we can do our due diligence to research on the reliable traders online, then that will help us a lot not to fall from believing in their traps. Trading is not also a means to make profits only. It’s actually there to help us learn the value of bitcoin or any cryptocurrency and realize that what we see at the moment will not be forever, so we should learn to give importance to its value while it’s still available at the moment. |
