Where are the Patrick Beverley fans at? There's bad news about him as he's been waived by the Orlando Magic.
(https://www.nba.com/magic/news/orlando-magic-waive-patrick-beverley-release-20230212)

Actually, that's not bad news since that was already expected, therefore he's expected it too.

There are teams already that show interest in doing a buyout to acquire him.

As far as rumors are concerned, some teams that might be involved are Mavericks or going back to Clippers, or Timberwolves.
That's good to hear if there will be another team that will buy him out.
I'd love to see him back the Clippers as currently, the Clippers need someone who can bring energy on the court.
Still remember the last time when Leonard was injured but the Clippers still managed to reach the WCF, it's their first time actually, and have you known that Beverly has done a big part in that success?

As a beginner in Crypto with a limited budget would you recommend purchasing the lower priced NFT's?
I think you need to learn more about NFT and study their performance. I know it was indeed to have a good start but the trend has changed it is getting worse day by day. If you plan to invest in lowered-priced NFTs, then I would say that you are also wanting to lose your money with them. You are saying that you only have a limited budget and it was not a problem, you can buy potential coins with the use of the DCA strategy. Stop looking for cheap coins because it shows that these coins have no market value and investors are rejected them already, How to make fortune with them? Nothing...
1083  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we experience $80k this year? on: February 10, 2023, 08:14:27 AM
Since the year started with a good results by moving from $20k to $24k this year, show that the price of BTC and crypto will move higher to satisfy investors soon. Now that the month is moving faster and investors need to think faster so that they will not miss their reward at the end of the year. The price of BTC just drop down to $22k few days ago, which is another opportunity for those that missed last year not to invest in a stable coins to do it now because, the price of BTC will surely reach $80k before the end of this year 2023.
Are you sure investors will experience $80 this year?
It is something we need to think also that the price of Bitcoin can't move that fast like a race.
We can be optimistic in the future and remain bullish but I guess we must know that the recovery is not fast. The price of Bitcoin is still not getting far away from $20k and the market still bearish. What would be our basis or something that would influence the price to pump high? I'm also optimistic about the future of Bitcoin but in this current situation, "that is impossible".
1084  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Share Tips For Newbie Traders on: February 09, 2023, 09:48:29 PM
Newbies must know the volatile nature of the market so they won't wonder why the price will move up and down.
And most of all they have to:
 * continue learning
 * never underestimate the market or make it too easy
 * they must prepare to accept losses
 * Don't rush to succeed - must extend patience as it surely comes
 * must learn TA and chart reading

So many things that a newbie must know but it never makes sense if we never do it in actuality. In order to reach our goal and succeed, a newbie must have the courage to trade and never be afraid to lose as it was a part of learning.
1085  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do You trust Tether (USDT) Stablecoin? on: February 09, 2023, 08:55:37 PM
Well, I'd never see or even think that USDT can't be trusted but yes, we also have to consider the level of trust and it can be applied in all stablecoins, not only for USDT. For many negative issues that happen to stablecoins, we can't just simply remove our fear and think that this might happen to USDT anytime. I'm also using USDT when moving my coins to our local currency and it just took a few minutes to finish that is why I don't have any worries about using it as I'd never hold this for too long.
1086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: February 09, 2023, 12:07:43 PM
However, we can say that Thurman didn't really perform well against Barrios, everyone is expecting that he will come back strong and make a statement win. Barrios is not even a legitimate 147 lbs, he just move up in weight but Thurman just win by the judges decision.

And now he is going to fight the best of the welterweight but going up in super welterweight.
Yes, it was an ugly win as we are expecting he will come back strong, like winning via KO. Well, I guess Thurman has learned his lesson, he doesn't want to be too complacent, it's enough for him to win via decision than loses control and make mistakes that will lead to another L. His comeback may not that impressive, but a win is a win, and that's the reason why he is here given a shot to beat Spence.
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: February 09, 2023, 11:23:11 AM

The Warriors has lost the game against the Blazers but you're quite lucky because you're betting on a +3.5 handicap and which covered the spread as the gap was only 3 points.


Same with what happen to my bet, I got the Warriors +4.5 with 1.80 odds. Actually, I was not expecting it will win anymore as the Warriors area already running out of time, good thing Klay Thompson still decided to shot a 3 point shot despite the fact that they have no chance to win the game.

Actually, the Warriors could have won that game, they just have a problem with their shooting in the last 5 minutes of the game. Their 3 point shot is not dropping anymore, probably they run out of bullets because they are shooting pretty well, especially Poole who only miss a few attempts.

It was a high scoring game, if the Blazers weren't shooting well, I think they'll suffer another defeat as the ball movement of the Warriors are better, they just fell short in the end.

Yes, they could've had the game because the Warriors managed to bounce back as they chase the Blazers in the 2nd and 3rd quarter, but somehow along the road, they suddenly ran out of fuel and having a bad performance leaving the Blazers an advantage for them to take the lead again. It was a good game though, we owe our win for KT because of that 3-point shot he did that helped us bettors.
The warriors just live and die on their 3-point shooting, when their 3-point shooting was falling, they were so into the game and have even led. Unfortunately, it expires in the end, and suffer defeat. The pre-game spread was +2.5 for the Warriors, lucky for you that you get it on live.

Still the Warriors road record is not good, it's actually the opposite of their home record, so following the trend, you'll know which side is safe.
1088  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fake paid promotions on Twitter on: February 08, 2023, 09:43:04 PM
You don't need to pay attention to any coin ads from famous people on Twitter at all. This is their business, they make money on it, luring naive investors to buy this or that project. They make money, while investors lose their money. Very often these Influencers advertise all sorts of gaming projects, NFTs or memcoins. All this is not worth your attention and money. These are all garbage projects that will never bring good profits to their investors. Only to those who bought before the appearance of such advertising from a known account.
This is another dirty tactic of the scammers, they are using social media platforms and known names to fulfill their plan as they know that it could easily encourage new investors to invest in their worthless project. Yes, they are just seeking for their success and their concern now is how to make money without thinking about what it cost the investors.

I think we need space from social media and not listen to them when talking about cryptocurrency. In fact, I consider social media not a reliable source of information.
1089  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading addiction, are you coping? on: February 08, 2023, 09:29:17 PM
Trading is an addictive activity too for anyone who wonders how it can be called as an addicition cause most common traders are doing trading alone from their home and when they go hard at it they forget everything and immerse into the trading alone which can affect their mental stability by too much of stress given to our brain so at some point when we are in loss the things may change into more extreme likely suicidal thoughts even possible because I know even adult gamers tried for losing a game so anything when its done too much its called an addicition.
Addiction is no longer a healthy habit. Yes, many people who have been in addiction have also a different behavior maybe this is because they are affected by their new environment and emotional stress. But I don't think it is a need to put them in rehab as what OP is saying like those who are in gambling addiction. I believe this kind of addiction can be relieved through simple processes like encouraging them to go outside and have family bonding or friends hangouts.

<>and when Spence will gonna just finish Thurman easily, then there will be no point in him fighting anybody except Crawford.
It's not gonna happen, if Spence even struggle against Porter, I think Thurman is the better fighter than Porter, so in case Spence will win, that should not be an easy fight. In fact, I think Spence is just overrated, he just know how to choose his opponent well to maintain his clean record, but this time, he is wrong in choosing Thurman.
1091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: February 08, 2023, 08:11:35 AM
At least Canelo is being honest and chill despite his past issues and differences with Ryan. With regards to the venue, a stadium might be cool to cater to more audiences but the organizers might opt for smaller, easier-to-manage, and boxing-proven venues like the MGM. They can easily match the gate revenue by increasing the price of the tickets. There are a lot of rich people regularly traveling to Vegas.

But the main issue right now is who will promote and what network will telecast if a rematch clause is activated. I cannot believe they are confident that this fight is happening yet this one which is very important is not yet agreed upon earlier. PBC showing its toxicity in boxing once again. Al Hymen is greedy once again despite his fighter being clearly the favorite. Obviously, GBP and DAZN should be the ones handling if ever a rematch is happening.

The "rematch clause" is holding this fight back and if they can't agree on it then this fight might not happen at least this April 15. I think there will only be a rematch if Davis is defeated as he is the current champion so it's just fair that Golden Boy Promotion will handle the second if ever that happens so yeah that Al Haymon is killing this fight on paper once again.

Yeah, still hanging on the balance, I thought that they have settled who is going to cover and everything. But this time it's the rematch clause and it shows that Al Haymon doesn't want to give control to GBP in the rematch.

And suddenly, the negotiations turn ugly now, I just do hope that they will keep quiet on it and not let the public knows what's going behind close door. So that they can work it out first instead of going to media which might fuel for either side not to push for it.

This is a big fight, a championship fight, I think it deserves a rematch. On the promoters' end, I believe it's beneficial on them, and for the boxers, they will surely earn a lot of money as long as the first fight entertained the fans. It's not new IMO, why would a boxer does not want a rematch if he believes on himself that he can win again. Well, I'm not talking of the loser though because the losers will automatically want a rematch after the fight, for revenge.
1092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: misconceptions have always been and will always be on: February 07, 2023, 12:01:39 PM
People just started wrongly. Bitcoin is a biggest cryptocurrency and how did they fall into other cryptocurrencies, not into Bitcoin?

Maybe greed is most important reason and I can not get any different solid reason to start with altcoins and be scammed with misleading whitepaper, presentations, tweets and misconceptions.

Because they are greed, always greed and always close their eyes, stay blinded, they will be scammed repeatedly. Even if they read your topics, they will be scammed in future if they won't change themselves.
We can do nothing to the person who is greedy as they are literally blind not to say the truth about worthless projects.
High rewards are somewhat attractive that could influence new investors but they neglect the scam risk and could lose their money in an instant.

What we need I guess is proper education, I'd see this as a very effective way to stop spreading fake news and information about Bitcoin. And this could create clear views for those who are in doubt about Bitcoin as it was too different from what we heard and read online, especially in social media platforms.
1093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Figueroa vs Magsayo WBC Interim Featherweight Title (March 4) on: February 07, 2023, 11:17:06 AM
Figueroa himself is coming from a successful redemption fight against Castro after he was defeated by Fulton. So he has already recovered his confidence inside the ring. Magsayo has yet to have that.

The pressure here is more on Magsayo, as you have said, it's redemption time for him, so he either win here to have a chance for the belt again, or lose and it will be square one for Mark and his rankings will be affected and might take him a year to get another crack at the champion.

Indeed, Magsayo is facing a lot of pressure now. A fighter's first defeat must be traumatic after having been winning one fight after another for a long time. But I guess it must be harder to keep that defeat out of his mind and make sure it will be a thing of the past already. The stake is high. 2 consecutive losses after being undefeated must be hard to recover from. So this is somehow an all or nothing fight for him. He can't afford the loss of confidence and self-esteem if he is once again defeated this time around.

He must win this fight, otherwise that opportunity will be gone and he'll be having a hard time finding that again. yes, he lose once, maybe he can make his own excuse and try to improve himself, but if he losses again, then that would only tell that he is not really bound to be a big star like Donaire.

True, he is lucky that it does not take long for him to wait for a big fight, now that its here, this is an opportunity to prove that although he is not undefeated anymore, but he can become a champion again. We only have few Filipino boxing champs, so I'm sure Magsayo is now inspired to carry the nation in this fight and will go home bringing the glory.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 07, 2023, 10:47:54 AM
Lebron recently said that he wishes he could have a normal life, go eat a meal somewhere, get a starbucks with his name on it, like regular people, I think he wouldn't even be mad if Kyrie took some attention away from him. And to think that Lebron is not even near the end yet, he could play at least another 2 seasons after this, is beyond logical.

That's the price of being popular, you also lose your freedom like normal people that can do anywhere they want. Lebron will be making a lot of people happy tomorrow if he will break that record, and it's good timing as they are playing on their home court, so probably the arena now is already filled with balloons on the ceiling waiting to drop tomorrow.

Quote
Dude could breach 40k+ points and that would be a shock, as long as he stays healthy, he could break 40k, and that's expected.
The way he is playing now, that is a statement that he is taking care of his body well, and he has more seasons left in his career for sure.
1095  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is getting ready for $25K, How? on: February 07, 2023, 10:32:16 AM
Not to ask how as it surely comes soon. Although we can't tell when but reaching $25k is not impossible, in fact, we are very close to it.
After a year in a bearish market, I think that investors are not yet done with their accumulation. This year can be considered as preparation for the bull season which is expected after halving, investors are still filling their bags for more Bitcoin. Though the pumps are slow at least we have some insights that we are leading back high again and it was a motivating factor for the holder to keep hold and wait for the next ATH.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: February 06, 2023, 11:41:17 AM

So no surprise that Canelo will pick Tank. Tim Bradley picks Garcia, because he hated Tank hehehe.

One of them is right but we will only know right after the fight. Seeing celebrities in the boxing world giving their comments will only make this fight more interesting because it only tells that it's a popular fight and the fact that it's noticed by popular celebrities. Well, for Canelo, it might be something personal, but let's respect his opinion because it will not dictate the fight's outcome.
1097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 06, 2023, 10:53:53 AM
That's true, it's also been said for a long time that he really needs someone's help and there it goes through Kyrie. Hoping for the best of the two, and yes, it's really all about the chemistry because we've seen a team that's full of superstars but yet still didn't take any ring.
Chemistry is the key on their team and let's see how they'll be able to adjust to that and everyone is very optimistic with this addition for the Mavs.
It's a risky move by the Dallas Mavericks but it's worth a try though. By the way, for the information of everyone, Irving's contract will expire in less than a year, so it will give Dallas a huge problem if he will not sign with the Dallas. Well, I don't want to think of the negative possibility, I'm hoping that they'll play well so they have a shot of winning a championship together.
Luka is just getting the probable right help that he needs and that's why Dallas has decided to take him as soon as he's already expressed his desire of getting out of the Nets.
On the other hand, the Nets management has said that KD will stay on them and they're likely to build their roster with a new set of talented players but for how long and how soon enough?  Grin
Durant is not the old Durant who won championships with the Warriors, he became a fragile player now that could be injured anytime, so there's no assurance that even if he will stay the Nets will be a championship team. The thing is, if they rely solely on Durant, what would happen if he'll get injured?

He has good stats this season, but not sure if the impact is still the same compared to when he was still with the Warriors. This guy is really good, he is a hall of Famer but the injury problem is a big hindrance to his success.

https://www.foxsports.com/nba/kevin-durant-player-stats

29.7 PPG
6.7 RPG
5.3 APG

That's  an impressive stats, without him, Nets will really struggle.
1098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: February 03, 2023, 12:38:36 PM

Right, so all his antics before the fight backfired on him big time. As you can see in his first knockout that he was laughing, which mean he didn't expect that to happen, so in the fight alone, he is mentally affected.

And so after, he was so ashamed and if I'm not mistaken, he went on a hiatus after the fight and he didn't get out in the public because of his embarrassement. Nevertheless he need to resume his career, maybe he was still under contract to PBC so he need to fullfill and fight again. But maybe physically he is fined, but psychologically he might be affected by that big lost to Pacman.

I don't think that gives a bad effect on him, in fact, he was able to give a good fight, he just fell short, in the end, that's why he lose in a close decision fight with Manny. Thurman now has sure learned a lot from his previous lost, and I believe that will make him more dangerous in this fight because he will be well motivated to win to get his popular status again.
1099  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will it be profitable for the business? on: February 03, 2023, 11:15:11 AM
They say it you take the risk of crypto volatility, then why not accept bitcoin payments?
 But you have to consider some factors before proceeding with your plans like the legality of Bitcoin in the jurisdiction of the business, the demand from customers for Bitcoin payment options and of course the knowledge of your consumers/ customers about bitcoin payments.


I believe that OP has done the research already and probably he found out that it was legal in their place. But yes, if we think about the demand and people's awareness of accepting Bitcoin, that can be a big challenge for him. It was indeed not profitable for business at this time but I know the demand will increase in the future due to continuous crypto adoption. It really takes time for him to see good results from accepting Bitcoin and he should invest also more in marketing just to spread more awareness to their community that he is accepting Bitcoin.
1100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What makes a crypto project reliable and trustworthy ? on: February 03, 2023, 10:51:12 AM
Bitcoin is the King of cryptocurrency and most altcoins are way less qualified in terms of credibility, fanbase, high returns with minimal risks etc. I am trying my best to analyze altcoin projects but the results are not pleasant. What makes an altcoin really trustworthy ? And why ? Please let me know your opinions.                                                                                                        
If we ask how? We have to put those things to the project developers. Maybe having strict crypto regulations could somewhat help to improve the credibility of the incoming projects but this won't give us assurance to have a safe investment. That is why I don't encourage people to invest in new projects for they have been known as scams and worthless projects. In fact, we already have Bitcoin and ETH, and we know their profitability, so I think we don't need to look for another project if we know that we can't find legit and trusted coins.
