A lie can be something good or naturally bad.
Sometimes we make some excuse and pretending of busy with something because of our gambling addiction. Sometimes we spend more time on this rather than having a good time with the family. Well, that was a few years back when our minds were in the box of imagining what would happen to us when we hit the jackpot.
It is probably most of us who are experiencing this one. Maybe some are telling their partners already while some do not and keep it secret.
But I don't suggest new gamblers to this especially if we have family already because this is also a reason why some couples separated. Must remain responsible and knows our priorities as well.

It is believed that Bitcoin halving is an event that happens every four years in the crypto industry where the block rewards that miners benefits from mining Bitcoin are cut half and Bitcoin eventually becomes scarce with the demand increasing and inflation is being addressed because it's part of the concept of the halving event. Since Miners rewards is being cut half during the halving, do they still continue in the number they were before the halving?
For new miners, that would obviously make them think of possible exit but those who have experience in the previous halving will certainly find it easy to manage, they already know the alternative. But look, fees are crazy during halving and until these days, miners getting more rewards than usual, this is not the thing we expected after the said event. There is no report yet that there is mining companies have stopped their operation so therefore, despite the halving they already prepared themselves to keep their business running until it is over. I believe they can still compensate themselves enough to remain in the operation and to give services to the people. |

Yup, if they can invite more visiting teams who can provide competitions where fans will comes out and support their teams not just Ginebra but also other teams who are part of the league, right now, there's no interest that fans provide, aside from Ginebra other teams are not as hot like them, there's no support or only getting few fans which not enough to attract interest from other fans.
That entails money but if they really want to boost their income then they have to risk on that. PBA had done it once, I'm sure they can do it again. I'm not sure who's expense at that because they have to accommodate a whole team for a period of time until the conference is over. Now is the time to make more aggressive action in order to attract the fans as PBA seems already dying, if we look at the venue especially those games that are not out of town, we can only see few people watching the game. |

Yeah, it was a tight game. However, I wouldn't say the Lakers have no chance in this series, even though they have lost 2 games in a row. In fact, if you look at the stats, you can see that now the chance of the Lakers recovering from a 0-2 deficit is only 7.3%. It's not much, but I hope the Lakers will do their best in the next game.
It's just kinda sad that they already lost 2 games in a row despite all of their efforts to win but the Lakers still have a chance and they seem to have confidence to beat the Nuggets last night compared to their first game. let's just see how they will adjust on their 3rd game because they really need to win it because they can't afford to lose 2 years in a row and get swept again this time, that would be a historical humiliation for LBJ and the rest of the team. they should at least win one game or be in big trouble.   Game 3 is the most important, they can't lose that game otherwise that simply means goodbye to the Lakers as no one in the history of NBA playoffs that a team has been able to come back from 3-0 deficit. That was a winnable game by the Lakers, the shots were falling very well, it's just unfortunate that they panic in the 4th quarter which is the quarter that Murray love to play, he loves to take big shots and that winning shot was one of remarkable one. Obviously this is "all in" for the Lakers, so I'm riding with the team by betting on them to win. Upon checking the odds, they are only +1, so it's not hard to decide to bet on them as you can just take the moneyline and get a better odds if you really believe they can win. |

Are you increasing your bitcoin investments because of today halving ? For how long do you plan to hold this new investment from here on.
I'm not, the fee is too high and I badly can't move my BTC if I ever buy it as I don't want to keep it in the exchange wallet. It was not a good time to buy, not in the case of the halving event unless there are deeper corrections. Maybe some are buying but I know that the majority are just observing the market situation. If we are buying before halving, I think there is no need for now. I'm currently holding but maybe the decision can be changed depending on the market trend. And for how long? That still also depends on the price movement. Of course, I definitely sell my BTC once the price hits my target. |

My advice
Don't buy bitcoin because you assume that bitcoin price will skyrocket after bitcoin halving, that is a wrong mentality that could lead to depressing results if that failed to happen.
I still buy because it was in the correction phase and I hold because I believe it will skyrocket after a few months. Maybe my mentality is wrong but seeing the previous halvings, we never see it pumping instantly but gradually. It can be the same trend we experience this time and while the price is low, why not stop buying if we can afford to do that? It really just matters in the situation, we can hold either if there is no new ATH. Currently, at $66,700, it is a good chance to take and even reaching ti $80k before the end of this year is not regretting anymore but a good profit. |

I think both of them being young and inexperienced teams in the playoffs makes this matchup more exciting. Thunder last made the playoffs in the 2019–20 season, where Chris Paul and Steven Adams are still on the team. On the other hand, the Pelicans last playoff appearance was in the 2021–22 season, and before that, 2017–18 was their last playoffs. With them battling each other on a playoff level, it is really exciting to see. When the playoffs come, it is 0-0, back to square one, so it doesn't really matter if you're a first seed or not; the important thing is to get the win every game. I hope this series will go to Game 7, so it will be worth watching. Pelicans, on the other hand, can really take over that game if Brandon Ingram gets going, but unfortunately, he has been in the Dorture Chamber and struggles to get some buckets on the first game. Looking forward to the next game, I hope it will be a close one again. I like your analysis. This is what I’m actually thinking when I watch their match. Regular season records is just a number and doesn’t matter if you are lack of experienced. OKC roster is full of young talent that doesn’t have much exposure on games like playoffs which they face same team multiple times for a series of matches. Pelicans having veteran players on their line up makes them a bit in advantage against a young gen team. I will not be surprised if the Pelicans can eliminate them especially when the match is already move to the Pelicans home. OKC should finish the game as quickly as possible since Zion will come back potentially on game 5. Having 2-2 record will be bad for them. It's the Pelicans who have the most playoffs experience, maybe in terms of team comparison there's only few difference but in terms of player, these two players of the Pelicans have been consistent in the playoffs before. If you look at the statistics, CJ - https://basketball.realgm.com/player/CJ-McCollum/Playoffs-History/17251... 10 playoffs appearance. Jonas Valanciunas - https://basketball.realgm.com/player/Jonas-Valanciunas/Playoffs-History/24239 8 playoffs appearance. So by just basing on that stats above, we know they are not close in terms of experienced. |

Well, your trading experience OP could help you understand the market and your position. You should have to remind yourself that there is nothing in here, it is a risky and tricky market and every mistake we make will correspond to possible losses.
So I would say that never be hurry and keep yourself updated. Keeping an eye on the market charts, price trends, etc is a helping tool to make good decisions and plan. The market is so volatile so we also need to be adaptable in the situation and always have 2nd option in case the 1st option fails.
Buy now, hold, and sell later --that will work really. The bull season is not over yet, we can expect more pumps after halving.

Well, as usual outcome from the spike in price is a drop. People are selling their BTC, they are taking the chance and so we witness a sudden drop in Bitcoin's price. But this is never look worrying in the sense that it recovers back as we believe that bull season is not over yet to think that it continue to drop more. It is too hard to keep the uprising momentum when not all are able to hold, panic selling and FOMO are still a huge factor affecting the market trend and this is not new. It happens before, now, and in the coming years.
But despite the current situation, it was not enough ground to think about no more ATH or it was happening already. People are still expecting that because ATH comes after halving, not before.

Some of the altcoins moved quite high in prices in this current bull run. But meme coins had been disappointing for long time. Even influencers do not promote meme coins at all.
That is not what I see because if you look at any social media platforms, you can see a lot of influencers mentioning meme coins. It is a very hot topic and discussion. They are not yet over and this year seems to be their time. But you are half correct, this meme coins have no different from shitcoins. Indeed, it gives huge profits for some investors who are lucky to buy coins that get into the hyped price. Unfortunately, some just lose their money (scam). Are the good days for meme coins gone forever ?
Perhaps, you've been saying that meme coins are disappointing for a long time, that probably comes after this Bull Run. But I don't hope this will happen as this will also have create negative impact on the crypto world. |

Luck and winning in gambling can be a tricky topic, I mean some people didn't believe in luck but for me I believe in luck Some credit their success to luck, positive vibes, or even the people around them, while others see it as pure chance or statistics. So if you ask me How does the game of luck in gambling really works? I don't know really since the luck in my opinion just like market and it is highly unpredictable so if you always luck it is good for you hahahha When it comes to gambling, the usual reason we think if we win is we are too lucky . There is no mention of what we did when we won or just simply mentioning the strategy we used that sent us to the most favorable side but we reason out is we are lucky today. Because this is already implanted in our minds and the influence is very strong. Well, the truth is that no strategy supports us if ever we claim this is the reason for winning because not all the time we win. Whether we believe it or not, we can't win in gambling if we are not lucky and not even know how it works as we never know when it comes. |

There is a working market strategy that boosts the popularity of meme coins. The continuous pumps of a few meme coins make people think that these coins are worth investing in. Well, it is not a question if many investors are in the profit this time, indeed it gives them such favor and the bullish situation helps a lot. But the question is what will happen to them after bull season? Are we gonna expect them to stay valuable or see them in a dying condition?
Regardless of the current increase of the mentioned meme coins, this is not enough to change my view over meme coins and convince me as they are still shitcoins. They may gain fame this time but this will be over once the market is in dips again.

I gamble not because there is something I have or need to achieve but because I'm doing this to take a break from work and for socialization.
Of course, winning would be great but we must not be wrong in chasing it because this only disappoints us in the end. It was a peaceful gambling life without thinking about anything that we needed to get or somewhat a goal that we needed to achieve.
It is not wrong to dream high but must think first if this will help us to be motivated. Or this will be the reason why we fail. Gambling is not a competition we need to show the people around us who is best.

Knowledge, self-confidence, and faith are somewhat important in investing in Bitcoin.
As I remember my early days in crypto, it was really disappointing when you didn't know what to do especially in the time of market corrections. We never know exactly how to position ourselves in different market conditions which I could say is that having knowledge is more advantageous than just guessing. We can't rely on our future and our investment in luck rather than being guided with a plan, faith with our investment, and confidence. It was useless to get into the war without proper planning, much more when it talks about money and investment.

Emotions play an important role in influencing your betting decision-making process. Being aware of the impact of our moods and actively working to regulate them can dramatically improve our choices. By avoiding rash decisions driven by emotional highs and lows, guarding against overconfidence bias, and finding a balance between caution and risk, we can enhance our chances of success in betting.
How do we regulate our emotions while betting and how important is it?
Emotions often trap people into continuing to bet even though they experience defeat and emotions will trigger psychology which in the end we are unable to control ourselves. Consider one thing when you want to gamble and how much budget you want to spend every time you engage in gambling. When the budget runs out due to losing, stop gambling and return to betting when the mood becomes calmer because that way we can control ourselves from gambling. Bet responsibly and quit gambling when you experience consecutive losing moments. If you can do this method then I am sure you will be able to control your emotions because actually emotions depend on how we take care of them. "Knows your limit" - but it was just knowing, it is also important to stick to it. Otherwise, it makes no sense at all. So many gamblers I've heard " I stop gambling after losing" but still gambling. Many promises are broken because we are not serious about our words. So many gamblers become addicted because they can't control their emotions and greediness. A lot of things hinder us from being a responsible gambler, I believe this should be addressed first before anything else as this will be the main reason that brought us to the worst situation. |

The real successful traders are quiet and are even afraid to share their success stories. But those who are not, are big mouths and they are very convincing when they talk. That is why following these social media influences doesn't make sense anymore as they are just helping us to lose, not to earn. Because if these people are true and what they say is truly working, they are rich already but unfortunately, they are not.
Success can't be copied by others, it is a personal strategy. We can have their ideas and follow their tips but it doesn't mean we can be like them because there are secrets in trading that they never told us until such time we discover it on our own.

Regardless of the reasons that caused the price of bitcoin to collapse in the last few days, it has basically become a worry anticipated by some experienced investors and traders. There were almost similar similarities to the previous halving cycle in 2020 where prices fell slightly leading up to the halving and also on the day the halving occurred, so I am not completely surprised by the decline this time regardless of the reason.
Bitcoin price will recover as much as it can after the halving. I am very optimistic that $100k will become a reality by the end of 2024, while prices will likely get even higher in 2025. The peak price increase is expected to occur in early 2025 to mid-year, but that is just a prediction that cannot be used as financial advice.
Despite the drops in Bitcoin's price, it is still high and still in the bullish market. Yes, whatever the reason affecting the corrections this won't totally change the current situation of the market as we believe that halving has a huge influence in bringing prices higher than usual. We are still waiting for the new ATH and expected to arrive after the said halving event. However I could not agree this is just like the year 2020 but as usual situation after halving, it still continues to gain bigger demand pushing the price to skyrocket. This is how we also have such confidence in holding despite the price increase in the past days because there is more pumps coming. |

What is your opinion towards my research that online casino gambling has more of possesed players who stakes to make profits while the land base gambling is more of players who stakes for funs?
We are talking about gambling right? either Online or Land base yet this is gambling? we are tend to lose right? and small chance of winning ? so what is the difference between fun looking or profit taking? they are both for gamble so no matter what the research says accept that fact about gambling is everyone wanted to win , and the fun is just a bonus. Maybe, for some gamblers winning matters a lot for them but hardly accept to lose. So, I don't want to wonder why some people are thinking that they become rich from gambling which in fact, it is nearly impossible to happen in real life. I could agree, wether it was an offline or online casino, this won't change the situation where chances of losing are high, so why not just enjoy gambling so whatever the results are it won't hurt us back? If we gamble, we never chase winning because this only brings us on the path of losing. We are supposed to understand that gambling is literally just for fun, not a money maker. |

Having a fixed goal in gambling itself is wrong in my perspective, I gamble, I just quit when I feel done irrespective of whether I am in profits or loss.
Great to see that you have that kind of discipline. For some gamblers, that's kinda hard to do, and personally I wouldn't stop gambling if i'm losing that I still have money in my wallet, but when I'm winning, I'm easy to get satisfied that's why I don't win a lot. I think having a target whether double or triple it is good, because that will make you a responsible gambler and that showed you can be satisfied based on your target. |

In that game first game, Belga showing his basketball IQ seems he cameback from his old glory days, not bad for ROS they are now slowly moving up and start being competitive again.
I guess coach yeng would stop complaining now about the super teams in the NBA. ROS currently have a good ranking, they are one of the weak teams that have a grea run so far. With their recent team, they improve to 5-4 and number 6 in standing, and since there's still plenty of games to be played, most likely they'll have a chance to be in the playoffs. Currently, the top 5 teams now belong to the SMB and Pangilinan group. https://pba.ph/1. SMB 2. NLEX 3. Magnolia 4. Ginebra 5. TNT Meralco seemed to be missing. Only Meralco is missing the spot, though last season we manage to see Phoenix maybe this season ROS will have that chance to move up and be a contender, who knows they will manage their way to reach the semis, though with the current team standing they are still far in terms of reaching the finals, but there's no one who can dictate or conclude if they can or not. Still got lots of game to play and it will be depends from how they will execute their system, maybe coach Yeng starting to adopt how the game is being played with his fresh squads who can really catch up with speed and skills, just need to be consistent and have that courage to bring all-in with each games that they'll playing. Meralco has been struggling ever since they had a new head coach. It must be the problem and they can only fix that if they'll change a coach. Also, Meralco's style is more on grit and grind, they aren't good 3 point shooters as a team because only Maliksi are consistent in the line up. I don't expect them to qualify in the playoffs, it's another heartbreak for them this conference and time will come they'll decide to trade players and rebuild. |
