Of course, there's no guarantee that the home team will win, although we can say that they have a higher chance of winning since they have the crowd's support. However, we've already seen in the Lakers vs Nuggets series where the Nuggets beat the Lakers twice on their home court to eliminate them. We have to assess which team is better, and based on the current record, it appears that the Heat are the better team.

If the Celtics win Game 5 and 6, then I think we will have a game.

They cannot be happy if the expectation is high but the outcome is low. I suppose Haney needs to change his style from boring to an exciting boxer. That would certainly attract more viewers, especially if he keeps winning with his new style. Mayweather was boring, yet he was a PPV king. Haney cannot just use that as a basis, as he is not as good as Mayweather. Additionally, people's tastes may have changed since there are plenty of exciting boxers in the sport who are worth spending on PPV subscriptions.

So the Nuggets will have a nine-day rest before going to the NBA Finals, where they have the home court advantage.

The Miami Heat need to finish the series tomorrow so they can also rest and both teams can prepare for the NBA Finals. Based on the betting odds I saw, the Nuggets are the favorites, but that doesn't guarantee they will win, right?

What are your speculations, guys, for a possible Heat vs Nuggets matchup in the Finals? What team do you think will win?

The Lakers are leading, and James is off to a great start. However, it's still too early to conclude that the Lakers will win this game. Their lack of consistency throughout the series is the reason they are down 0-3. In order for them to secure a victory, they need an exceptional performance from LeBron James and must find a way to contain the Nuggets' impressive 3-point shooting.

I would agree to this. Yes, bitcoin investment profits is way bigger compared to what we usually earn from our day job but seeing it’s not consistent and sustainable, then it’s not enough to quit our job and just turn to bitcoin for our main source of income. It will always be a side hustle for me, so that in times of losing, at least my finances will not easily ruined because I still have my own job that gives me fixed amount of income. However, if we can do both to see growth in our finances, that would always be possible. We need to keep our job in order to finance our bitcoin investment or any type of investment that we have desires to enter into.

Borrowing money is not really a bad idea as long as you have a fixed and stable income that will pay for it. And if you are just starting to trade, then always start a small amount that you can easily manage to lose. Although compounding would free you from taking a loan, but be reminded that in trading, there’s no guaranteed profit consistency, regardless if it’s very small, making profits is not that easy especially if you are still trying to manage and control your emotions with the highly volatile market. And it’s hard to tell actually if your patience would be sustainable to wait for that long until your profits become 10x from your capital. The reason why most beginner traders take loans instead than to stick into compounding.

Right now, the more side hustles and investments that are introduced to us, the more eager we want to leave our jobs completely. I know most of the 8-hour job workers here would agree to that. However, if we are the breadwinner in the family, leaving our job is the hardest part. That was my personal experience before. But I realized it’s really up to us how we will change our mindset and take some risks. So I decided to get out from my comfort zone and now I’m living my life the way I always imagined before. Though I’m not really making that huge profits, but what I earned today is much better than what I used to earn way back when I was a full time company employee.

Gambling is always a choice and if ever you’re being lured to gamble, then you should be responsible enough whatever the outcome of your decision. And to note that gambling is more on losing than gaining profits, so it’s already an initiative to never gamble an amount that you can’t manage to lose. I guess the lady is a first time gambler and she has no idea that gambling could emptied her pocket when all she believes that gambling will give her huge profits after consistent betting.

You know you have done your part OP. It's a good thing that you're knowledgeable enough to defend Bitcoin against fiat supporter. However, always know that you're not oblige to convince that man, or anyone else in this world. But as long as they have now understand the real purpose and potentials of Bitcoin, then that could stop them from hating Bitcoin based on their misconception.

DCA will always be the best option. Why bother to stop when you see and believe that there is great future of bitcoin especially that halving is fast approaching. Also, even if your income is just fixed, that won’t hinder you from storing more of bitcoin in your portfolio. They say if there’s a will, there’s a way. You only have to set your expenses stick to your budget, and as much as possible, even DCAing should also be in your budget list too.

However, pressures are sometimes unavoidable, so it’s best not to trade at that moment. It’s the only way you will get to avoid losses, otherwise you continue to experience pressure and prolong your loss experience. Also, never trade when you have no stable source of income in the first place. Trading will only give you pressures if you do that. Especially if you use money to trade to pay bills later on, surely it will cause a big trouble in the future.

Yes, it’s worth the money provided that you copy trade from a professional trader. Because if they can be consistent in their profits, you will also experience the same. However, if you don’t care to improve your craft because you became dependent to others, then how would you be sustainable in trading if you start trading using your own expertise? I think that will be very impossible if you keep on relying to other trades. Trading is not an avenue to be dependent from others, but it’s an avenue where you can improve your knowledge and hone your skills and expertise based from your own experiences, and not from other traders losses and mistakes.

You don’t have to force yourself to spend more than of your income, that will not make you rich but it will clearly put you into debt. Even in an investment, bigger capital does not guarantee high returns too. So the safest way is just to spend or invest an amount that you can afford to lose. However, if you apply this condition to helping others, well it’s really true the more you give, the more you receive. But know that we should not always expect returns from others because that will only disappoint us if ever.

Trading may be profitable but it also depends on one’s skills and strategies. And even if everyone is free to trade, but not everyone is meant to trade. Some are just good at the start, but when losses strike them, they eventually resort into quitting thinking that it’s the best way to stop their losses. However, we can’t deny that trading is paying us tenfolds compared to offline jobs, but know that trading has its high risks and anyone decides to trade should have a bigger preparation so that they won’t be trading only for a loss, but to make their trades worth the money and efforts and so it needs to be productive and successful.

Thank you for starting this discussion, but personally, it doesn't matter to me. I can gamble in the morning or at night. What's important is that I can watch the games I'm betting on. I enjoy both pre-game betting and live betting, where I place bets during the game. To be honest, I don't find this data relevant to gamblers because, as gamblers, we're here to have fun and we make sure to gamble at times when we feel comfortable.

More people will hold Bitcoin when it is legalized because the fact that lots of people are already holding Bitcoin despite no assurance of its future legalization indicates that these individuals recognize the importance of Bitcoin as an asset and as a payment system for transactions. Government intervention is likely when it comes to legalization, but since Bitcoin is decentralized, it will outperform all centralized payment systems that are expensive in transaction fees and may be unreliable in the future. This will create a demand that will benefit the holders.

I believe the Lakers have a chance to win the series, although we can currently say that the odds are against them. However, considering how they were able to come back from a significant deficit, it makes me think that the Lakers can give the Nuggets a tough series. Let's say the Nuggets win Game 2, but it's not over yet, as the Lakers have been dominant at home. We saw a similar scenario in the Nuggets vs Suns series, where both teams won two games on their home courts, but unfortunately, the Suns had a very bad game in Game 6, resulting in their elimination.

The Heat have faced a similar situation in the first round and managed to defeat the Bucks. However, it's worth noting that the Bucks weren't fully healthy as Giannis missed a couple of games due to injury. On the other hand, the Celtics are currently at full strength, making it a tougher battle in the ECF. Nevertheless, I still have faith in the Heat to put up a good fight. It wouldn't surprise me if this series goes to a game 7, and the Heat come out victorious on the road.

The attention is currently focused on the Lakers vs Denver series, and the result of the first game has put Denver ahead in the series. The Lakers have a significant fan base that may be disappointed if they get eliminated.

Despite being a huge underdog, it's worth taking a risk on the Heat because we know they won't give up easily. They reached the NBA Finals in the bubble, and Butler has been delivering the best playoff performance of his career this offseason. I'm confident he won't be stopped by the Celtics. The Heat are playing with great discipline, and everyone is contributing to their defensive efforts.

So, why not? Let's go Heat!

Same here, I believe Loma will win, and I'm happy about that because he is the underdog, which means betting on him to win would be profitable. Meanwhile, Haney has to prove that he can defeat a highly technical fighter. The same challenge applies to Loma as people believe he is past his prime.

This fight is like a chess match, making it difficult to predict the winner. As you mentioned, it's a technical fight, but it's not boring, so I can't wait to see this match.
