Ouch! The Boston Celtics took the life away from the Philadelphia 76ers. The 1st half was fun until Jayson Tatum got hot and it's totally over. He passed the record made by Steph Curry on a Game 7 points made. 50 for Steph passing KD and now the crown is on Tatum with 51 points. Bad man.  I was wondering when will James Harden erupt at attacking the paint but he seems scared to put it there and make an offensive attack. The usual playoff James Harden is not yet gone. This is how he panicked back on Houston Rockets and it happened again. It ain't about lack of experience, he choked again. Joel Embiid did not play like an MVP too, it's either Horford is really good at defending him or he forgot that he has one more weapon which is perimeter shots but he is not taking it. I didn't like the plays, most of them are kick-out passes with no accuracy on where the ball will go. 1/2. At least I won the Over 198.5. Congrats to the Celtics bettors. All spreads are covered. Kind of a predictable game. Everyone kept saying taytum is overated and then dude drops 50 in a game 7 do or die game. There are players and then theor are special players who rise to the occasion. I'd take this dude on my team any day any game. I hope they take care of business with miami and expect them to. Gonna be tough for the east to come out and win it this year the west just looks so top heavy dominant. I wouldn't say his over rated though, last year they didn't have the needed experience to beat the Warriors, but now it's a different Boston team. It's a come from behind victory in this series and him and Brown has mature enough not to choke in big games like game 6 at the road against the 76ers. And now the drop 51 points in from of the crowd, if you are a Boston Celtics fans, you should be happy with the way they beat the 76ers. Hot shooting and they play good defense too limiting Joel Embiid and Harden. So congrats who beat on the Celtics at handicap. |

^^ Game 7 is not even close, yeah, the 76ers took lead in the second quarter, but the Celtics are not bothered by it and they keep coming back. And then they just needed one quarter to close it, because in the 3rd, they just allowed 76ers to just score 10 points. While they become hot on the 3 point line as everyone is hitting beyond the arc.
The MVP for this season just had 15 points, another frustrating year for Joel, although he won the coveted MVP, his team will not advanced to the finals and fell short after taking a lead in this series.
For me, Tatum and Jaylen Brown is the best duo in the league and it will take a lot from Miami to step either one of them.

There is another controversial fight, it's Romero vs Ismael Barroso. Romero was down in this fight, but he scored his own knock down against Barroso (debatable) in round 9th. But for whatever reasons, the referee, Tony Weeks suddenly stop the fight. Barroso is leading on the 3 score cards prior to the stoppage. Here is the video, even the announcer was stunned by what Tony Weeks did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpXHeCD0w8U |

One more Coach down. Suns fire head coach Monty Williams after NBA playoffs eliminationhttps://sports.yahoo.com/suns-fire-head-coach-monty-williams-after-nba-playoffs-elimination-013546547.htmlThe Suns fired Williams on Saturday, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, two days after their elimination by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals. That disappointing exit left the Suns with some uncomfortable questions, one of which has now been answered. I said this to my friends after Game 6 ended on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Coach Monty will be fired. No questions. And it did happen. It's too obvious because the team sacrificed two good players Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson in exchange for Kevin Durant and TJ Warren, so they will be expecting a better ending than being eliminated in the semis. They want a ring, a championship but Coach Monty cannot provide so he will be gone. But rumors tell this might not be the end for him. Milwaukee Bucks needs a new Coach and he might be one of the candidates with Kenny Atkinson, and Nick Nurse. Although I would like to see if the Bucks will try to make history and hire Becky Hammon and earn the first woman to coach an NBA team. This is what? The 4th coach down? Correct me if I am wrong. New owners typically want results. Unfortunately, the Suns had injuries at the wrong time. Monty will find another job pretty quick, but he should have never been let go. NBA is rapidly becoming the new football, I really don't understand how they could have considered their season a failure, and let Monty hang for it, when it was indeed the general manager who traded all the depth they had and could have in the future for a supposedly instance shot at a championship, quite a joke imo, and they had nothing to fall back on during the playoffs whenever KD and Booker went to the bench, they were lucky it was 6 games series, it easy could or should have been a sweep, their best card could have been keep Monty for the upcoming season and look for other role players depth to pitch around them, and a De Andre Ayton trade would surely earn them more than what they'd need for such season, but they'd rather get a new coach, I really can't wait to see how many sort issues they'll find themselves in up next, time, for sure would tell! Maybe they are expecting more as they traded and got KD. But Monty did try his best, but I think him and Ayton has issues, I still remember last season wherein he and Ayton has somewhat not understanding each other. But as what we have seen, Ayton got injured and that's it, the chances of the Suns to overcome Jokic went out of the window. I think Ayton will be traded, I have a feeling that with the way he show again this playoff, the Suns management might have seen the last straw and probably get a new set of center for the Suns. |

But I guess Moloney is satisfied circling around and trying to avoid the power of Vincent and score a victory but very close in the judges card.
Moloney won't be able to do that against Donaire because Donaire has the reach advantage. He will be the aggressor once he faces Donaire, and based on his performance in this fight, I wouldn't be surprised if Donaire scores a knockdown or even a knockout. It was a great fight for Astrolabio; I thought he would win, but since Moloney is the more popular name, the outcome of the fight was already expected. Let's follow Moloney's journey. It would be nice if he shows bravery and gives Donaire a chance to fight him, in case Donaire's fight with Santiago doesn't push through. But the thing is that Moloney has been drop by the WBC in their rankings. So not sure even if Moloney is the champion now, that they will allow their rank boxers to cross over the WBO and fight Moloney. You know, boxing politics, but I guess when their is money for both WBO and WBC they might have to sit down and settle and allow it to happen. We shall wait first for the Donaire vs Santiago, at least we have filled one of the belts that Inoue has left. So it's time for other governing body to step up and also put a champion in their organization. |

1. Bitcoin total max supply is almost at 21milliion, why should I invest?
2. Bitcoin miners are not making more Bitcoin as they used to.
3. Bitcoin value is too high, I won't make enough gains investing in Bitcoin.
1. And we are getting to that 21 million almost getting mined. Perhaps in the next 3-4 halvings. 2. Hashpower is the key 3. Another lame excuse I do agree Before you nailed me to the wall for saying these, this aren't mine, they are shit talks I heard from people who believe that Bitcoin investment is too late, what advice do you have for them? Your contributions are welcome.
All I could tell such people is that, they should look at the bigger picture, we are still early than they think, how many people in the world are out of Bitcoin and Crypto? Not even 10% of the whole world population are in Crypto today, and the most effective reason for Bitcoin to keep growing is the adoption rate.
Like I keep telling people, with 0.1BTC in few more years you will be one of the Bitcoin OGs, all you need to do is HODL firmly.
Remember that some early Bitcoin adopters bought pizza with their Bitcoin, real scarcity rate and massive adoption is coming, don't stress yourself, just go for 0.1BTC.
As you have said, newbies should look for the bigger picture, not just the next halving, but the next and then next one. Because once bitcoin supply is getting limited by every halving, the price will definitely go up as there will be more demand, the basic law of supply and demand will be more evident than ever before. And we don't need to invest 1 BTC right away, just keep grinding and accumulate as much as you can, in your capacity. Be 0.1 BTC or lower. |

Those who are running long term investment, always have to undergo the active maintenance of seed phase, password, device for instance if your phone lost, you have to look for a way to restored everything into your new device, most people lost their seed phase, private keys and wallets that's why I have come up with little ideas especially if you're this carefree person.
Once you own bitcoin wallet or other crypto currency, thinking of how long you can maintain your wallet follows this steps,
First send your seed phase or private keys to your emails, also use them to compose a little song only can listen anytime, write it down in your diaries, and makes sure have a google doc to save your wallet keys and other information.
That's a bad idea to send your seed phrase or private keys to your emails, because once your email is hack, your crypto is gone for sure. Same with putting it to google docs, my point is that you don't need to put it at risk and going online. The best thing to do is to really write your seeds and private key and keep it in a secure place and make multiple backups. Or used metal backup: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5278839.0 |

I read that Oscar is criticizing Ryan Garcia now, or at least giving him a advise as per what I read here: “Ryan Garcia has to rearrange his team, his inner circle,” De La Hoya told FightHubTV, “and then take it from there. And take boxing seriously and train harder and train smarter and have an actual training camp up in the mountains where you’re focused, where you have tunnel vision, that’s my opinion.” https://www.boxingscene.com/de-la-hoya-says-ryan-garcia-needs-shake-up-his-team-implores-him-take-boxing-seriously-train-harder--174546So maybe what we heard from Reynoso and Canelo Alvarez is true, that Ryan Garcia is not taking training seriously or not giving it 100% every fight. And now that he face a fighter that is elite, he was exposed, got knock out, first time in his career. And maybe who knows, after this contract with Oscar will expire, we might see him moving and looking for a new manager. |

Surprisingly Nghitumbwa lasted til the end of the fight. I find the referee wanting Nghitumbwa to go on fight right away without counting up to 8 when he was knockdown. Luckily Nghitumbwa survived the pounding.
But it's true it's not what people here expect to see a KO end in the early rounds. Nghitumbwa obviously has a bigger physique. Despite Casimero keeps targeting his gas tank, he stands the test. He didn't give an easy fight win for Casimero.
Yes, perhaps Nghitumbwa has a good chin and stamina and was able to withstand the power of Casimero early that's why he was able to get up from the canvass and surprisingly, lasted 12 rounds against the power of Casimero. And it seems that this division is going to be tough as expected, this is just a acid test for Casimero and he pass it although we want to see a brutal KO to bring his career again. Nevertheless, a good second fight for him at 122 lbs, need more exposure though, a name fighter at super bantamweight so that he will be up in rankings again and possible for a crack on the title, whoever it was. |

Why are you panicking with these small drops? Aren’t you aware what are Bitcoins capable of? Bitcoins have risen from nothing to a valuable asset. If you still question on Bitcoin’s capabilities, then you don’t have the rights to be a Bitcoin investor. I mean took this downtrend as an opportunity, and try to buy as many coins as you can now. Hold the coins, till the demand among the members to buy Bitcoins increases, and hence sell the coins and make profits. Easy as that.
Perhaps he thinks that the price can go parabolic or continue with it rise to $30k or even higher. However, we all know how volatile the market is, and it's hard to really predict where the market is going to be even though we uses technical analysis. So now we already at $26,800. It is time to panic? I don't think so, we still have the next big support at $25k. On the other hand, this kind of drops could be good for us in the long run. I mean when there is a correction, it's going to be healthy as there could be more investors that can enter at this price or this is a good entry level for them. |

^ No game 6 Klay, I thought he will be the one helping Steph in this game, but it was Donte DiVincenzo. Bad time for the Warriors to really caught up with their bad shooting.
On the other hand, the Lakers doesn't want to go to game 6, Bron and AD, Austin Reaves and D'Lo wanted to finished the series.
You really have to give it to their new coach for the adjustments here. And Pat Beverly and Russell Westbrook chance to get a ring is still alive with the Lakers eventhough they are no longer with them as far as I know.
Too bad for GSW, I really thought they will have a great win today but the result is different, I lose a bet but its good to see how GSW played the game, they still tried their best and fell short, come back stronger GSW! Anyway, Westbrook is no longer part of the Lakers so technically there's no chance for him to get a ring. Denver vs Lakers will be exciting, I see how dominant Denver is so this will be a big challenge for Lakers to get a big win against Denver, we'll see. Him and Pat can still win a ring, Pat Beverley to receive a ring if the Los Angeles Lakers win it all. But not gonna lie, it's going to be hard as they are going to face the top seed in the West, the Denver Nuggets. However, I think the Lakers has a chance, they have a deeper bench that Denver and at any given night there will be a player that will explode and it's going to be very difficult for the Nuggets to stop that guy if they lack role players. |

^^ Yes, I also don't think that he can go as high as featherweight and that's it. And it's hard to duplicate what Manny did in his career, and we might not see that happening in boxing.
Going to 122 lbs might not be a big challenge for Inoue now, as he is about to hit his prime. But if he continue to go up, it's going to be a different story, natural featherweight boxer might give him problems even if he can carry his power to that division. So imagine him and Rey Vargas in the ring, or any other featherweight champion.
it would take time to really go up in higher weight division. pacquiao did it but it was not an overnight preparation. he was thrown a lot of criticisms throughout those years. now, if inoue is serious in carving out his own career, he can also do it. but would take years and not only few months. let's see how he will perform in this division. though it is not that much of a change so should be easy for him. And it just only shows that Pacquiao is really Legendary on how he did it in short amount of time + he has Bob Arum who orchestrate it, and Roach who chooses his opponent carefully every time he jumps one weight class, like David Diaz. So in any case if Inoue is something special as well, then he might or can do it. He is under Bob Arum so he knows how to do it because of Manny. If not, then take it slowly, let his body adjust and grow naturally to 126 lbs and higher and we can only accomplished it as we mature and age. |

No matter how we try to say it, Lomachenko was just unfortunate because he got injured during the time of his campaign where he almost got all four belts to be the undisputed champion at 135 but it is what it is, Devin Haney was fortunate enough because he was availabe by that time and took advantage of the situation where Kambosos upsets Teofimo Lopez who defeated Lomachenko before hand. This time, Loma will have another chance again to campaign at the title he wanted but it won't be easy as Haney is not that easy to defeat.
I think this is Loma last chance to fight for the belt, unless Haney will move to 140 lbs after he win this one. So most likely he will have another crack of either belt but there are a lot of young blood as well in 135 lbs like Shakur who most likely be also a hard fight for Loma at this point. Others are saying that Canelo is starting to decline in his last fight against Ryder because of age and wear and tear. Loma is 35 years old, so this is very interesting match to see if Loma still has it to become a champion against a young fighter in Devin Haney. There is a chances, yes, that this will be Loma's last bout if ever he will be defeated by Devin Haney while for the the latter, I don't some reasons at this point why should he move towards the next weight class because there are still boxers lined up for him like Shakur Stevenson and there's Gervonta Davis who's likely to make his move too. Shakur will not be facing Loma in the future if ever Loma gets defeated, there's no reason and Shakur has been named already to be Haney's next opponent if the current undisputed will be successful in his defense this month. Still depends on how Haney's body is, if he can make 135 lbs again then there will be no problems. But assuming he wins and it seems that his body is no longer able to squeeze 135 lbs, if might be better if he will move up in weight. So we will see, although he said that if he wins he is more willing to stay an with for either a fight with Shakur or even Tank Davis (maybe for the money). So let's see if he can defeat Loma first, this is not going to be easy fight for him. Unlike in the Kambosos fight wherein he was able to break in George early, here Loma is equal or more boxing IQ than him and so as others said, this could be like a chess match wherein it's going to be a thinking game. |

The Warriors won by 15 points. That was awesome, and now the series is 3-2. They will still be on the edge in every game, but they have a chance to win the series, especially if they win on the road, which is difficult.
Green and Wiggins made great contributions, but Thompson hasn't found his rhythm yet after having a great Game 2 performance.
The top performers for the Warriors were:
Curry: 27 points
Wiggins: 25 points
Green: 20 points
If Anthony Davis fails to play in the next game, the series will be 3-3. We all know that AD is perhaps the most important player for this team. He contributes to the team in every way and is the most critical player of the team. LeBron is a great superstar, but without AD, his influence will be greatly diminished. Compared to other matches, we can say that GSW played very well. Wiggins and Curry can do pretty well together. I hope Anthony Davis can play in the next game  Lebron is having a hard time doing what he wants due to age and injury. He kept his team in the game this morning because he shot well, but it seems hard to repeat. If Davis plays, it will still take effect, but now he's tired and this fatigue will increase as the series progresses. On the other hand, curry is very tired, he started the match with signs of fatigue at the beginning of this match, this fatigue affects his shot a lot. has found ways to craft from the inside, especially if he produces a steady production at midrange he can completely paralyze the lakers' defenses. I don't think this series is over. If the Lakers don't have a good day on either side of the court, the series goes to Game 7. I think it's more of Lebron being the facilitator now, I think if he wanted to take over the game, he can still do it. Just like when he is chasing Jabbar's record, he has games wherein he went crazy and score more. Now it seems that the pressure is on their side, AD with concussions and reports floating that he might not play next game. So the Lakers are now in a difficult situation and for sure the Warriors are going to take advantage if ever AD is not around in game 6. As fans we wanted to see this series extend to a game 7 to make it more exciting. |

Nobody can't tell the price was taking bullish steps-by-steps before, even now too the price is not bad to call it bear, Many speculate markets have over compensated and will sell off again but nothing that severe is apparent just yet. Ideally we want the inverse DXY to top out and restart a decline. BTC maybe closing $25k and continuing to confirm above would be ideal. In my opinion, this volatility will continue and the price will not hit $30K until or it's might hit $30k before next month. The market is unpredictable and the sudden events always occurs.
Yes, not sure though how we can define severe, maybe it we go or hit another bottom. But in any case, market is still very strong at $27k and even if it hits $25k I think we will be ok unless there is another negative news to pull the price even further. Although if we look at technical analysis, from what I read the bears might take over the market. But we will see, we know how volatile the market is, and it's very unpredictable as there are factors that we can't simply measure, like what we are seeing, fees are going up and everyone is complaining. And I think it's one reason why we see some sell-off, I reckon. |

The movement of price index has clearly show that the price will not rise this year, is almost half a year now since the price drops, this is far beyond inflation and fiscal policy of the government, I think bitcoin is suffering heavy weight withdrawals and it might end up been this Stuart for the year.
Out of 100% of international market chats bitcoin is beneath the range price counts of crude oil, gas, gold and diamond, that's means bitcoin is far from rising soon.
What do you think?
The answer is that we are in the bear market, simply as that. Look at last year, the lowest low is $15,500. And if I'm not mistaken, we have double that up this year when we peak at $31k last month. So to say that it is not rising is very wrong. Maybe the idea of you that bitcoin is going parabolic is also not right in the beginning. There are not assets that can do that, not even BTC. And we are not yet in the bitcoin block halving, that catalyst of the bull run, it will happen next year. So it's better for you to wait or accumulate bitcoin. |

What delays this fight is due to the promotional issues of Donaire. Probellum already ceased to exist due to its involvement with the Kinahans. So Bob Arum is once again correct and some of us thought he was just making excuses to avoid his ward Moloney facing Donaire. Moloney is already fighting next week for the vacant WBO belt while old Donaire's next fight still has no venue and a specific date.
Richard Schaefer should work this out fast because neither Donaire nor Santiago wanted to overtrain. There is no such thing as having a serious training camp that will last for 4 months or more. That is not beneficial and will have bad effects on the fighters. Maybe Schaefer should ask to return the favor of his friend Al Haymon to temporarily handle some of his fighters and stage this fight.
Yes, but Donaire is still with Richard Schaefer, so technically they can still work it out with Santiago's camp. It's not like when Probellum cease to exist, Donaire has not manager or no one stick to him. Richard is still managing him. We've seen news of Donaire in the Philippines with Casimero, but not sure if he is on series training or just vacationing in the Philippines for that matter. Yeah, possible for Richard to reach to Al Haymon so that this fight can happen this year. |

Now that this fight is already that finalized since Inoue is really that healing up, lets just hope that there would be no further accidents happen to make it postponed once again.
I think there would be no other postponement if the reason will be on Naoya Inoue's side again. Stephen Fulton might not want to wait again for another extension since he's now inactive in the ring for almost a year. On the other hand, if the reason for the postponement is because of Fulton, that's the time we can expect another postponement, and this time, Inoue will have to wait. But finger-crossed, let's hope that any reasons leading for the postponement of the fight will not happen. We want this fight to happen on the scheduled date with no interruptions or delays. Not just it kills the excitement of the boxing community but these boxers are also following their respective roadmap and the delay of their scheduled fight will ruin it. Yes, i do agree! The thing should really be having on their mind is to take care of their bodies while they are having that training because if there would be an another injury incident then it would really be slowing or disrupting out their roadmap and being inactive for a year isnt really that something looks good specially for Fulton which same as you said which its definitely on point. Speaking about hype and interest, then we boxing fans specially on Inoue is really that rooting for this fight to happen, not only just seeing Inoue on a higher division but we do love to see on how he would handle out on fighting the best boxer or fighter on this division. It might be a little bit in rush on going for the belt directly without in going in line with those lower rank but directly going to the belt holder. lol. A really aggressive approach i would say. It's aggressive but we do understand where he is coming from, or at least what the boxing body stance is. Inoue has unified all the belts in 118 lbs, meaning he has no challenges already he clean it up and almost knock out everyone. So in a sense he is above all those 118 lbs and maybe Inoue and his handlers knows that 122 lbs might be the same for the monster. And so the governing body simply allow him as a bonus for being a unified champion to fight the next available champion in the new division with is Stephen Fulton. And he accepted it right away so it's going to be a big acid test for Inoue if he can still climb and dominate the super bantamweight just like what he did at 118 lbs. It makes sense on climbing up the ladder because any athlete or fighter would really be hungry for the glory and popularity on which it would really be normal that they would really be testing out on higher division. Whats the point on staying up on a place on which you do know that you've been dominating? Of course you would really be thinking on going up on the ladder and would be facing out those who are really that in higher division which it does make sense. If they do target out that belt holder of that next high weight division then i could really say its an aggressive approach but well they wont really be making out such decision if they do saw that they would be at great disadvantage. If ever Inoue could pull this one off without any problems or hiccups then it would be not shocking that he would unify all the belts on this new division and wont be shocking if he would be deciding to go up another weight division. Lets see on how his journey would really be looks like if he would be ever dominates this side. If I'm not mistaken, he said that he will go up as high as 126 lbs or even higher if his body can take it. So this is going to be good test for him. I do agree that it's just 4 lbs from his previous weight class, so there should not be a problem for him. So it's going to be either he can bring his power or even more powerful in this division because of the added weight, or suddenly his power is not there. It's too early to see him going belt after belt here, if he wins here, he should be defending it against the rank fighter in his organization. He really need to test other boxers too before unifying it unlike in the bantamweight division wherein most of the belts he won because there is a tournament that time and he face most of the champion in the WBSS. |

This month of may, the price of Bitcoin is a chameleon it's changed anytime, the price of Bitcoin may go up or come down. The price of Bitcoin works with demand and supply, so nobody can be able to predict the price in the market. And the price is moving positively from $27k to $29k and $30k, maybe the price will hit $35k-$40k or will positively dropped to $25 or $20k, or will should wait for FED to experience rates so we can see important prices moves forward to $35k or $40k. At that moment there will be a lot of hype in the market for bitcoin.
Not sure when is the FED statement will be, but it's one of things that not just crypto enthusiasts wait bu the whole traditional market as it has definitely an effect on us. As for the supply and demand tenant, yeah that is the basis of our price movement. But we can say that at the current market price of $27k++ we are still good and we still have demands although it just went down because of the clogging of the network as far as I can see. But when everything is back to normal again, we might see investors getting back at the market, reinvest and we might still see at the end of the month, the price will be pushed to around $30k or more. |
