There is no release answer to that.  It could be the area they live in there isn't enough opportunities to male it out of being poor.  Some cases people make good money but end up living over their means always spending more than they can make.  Debt will cripple people.  Amd then another big one is addiction, doesn't matter what addiction but that can ruin people's lives and keep them down.

I recently made some money through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, and I'm considering using it to purchase some Bitcoin. Only a tiny sum, roughly $800, is involved. What do you suggest doing right now? Purchase some Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency with a promising future.

What replacement coins would you recommend?

If you don't have any bitcoin your answer should always be bitcoin.  I'd work on compiling some bitcoin and then slowly getting into alts.  Depending on where ypu go with alts you could end up losing your entire stack real quick.  Don't get lured in by all the promises of hitting it big on your first go around.

As long as greed exists than alts will be just fine in the next bullrun.  Inherently good or bad people latch onto alts thinking they are going to ride it up like the bitcoiners did back in 2010.  Only to be mostly disappointed if they end up holding the bag all the way up then all the way down. Alts will be fine.

As you know Heat finished the regular season in 7th place in the Eastern Conference. As a result not many people including me were giving them a chance to have a run like this. Butler has done the biggest work in this time period by scoring a lot of points and carrying his team. He has become like Lakers' Lebron or Warriors' Curry.

Therefore Butler needs to be aware of the seriousness of the situation and do something.

I'm guilty about that as well because at first, I didn't have that much confidence towards the Heat especially in the first round where they faced the New York Knicks which they eventually defeated but in the second round, it was almost impossible for me to believe that they can defeat the #1 seed in the East which they did as well. But in the conference finals, that's when I have put my faith in them and it turns out profitable because they managed to eliminate the Celtics and almost swept them after having a 3-0 advantage.

I doubted them through every series.  Of the series I thought they could win was the Celtics one because they match up well against them.  They got help with giannis getting hurt in game one.  But this one might end up being a quick 5 game gentlemen sweep.  I'm leaning hard on Denver all the way through.  No answer for jokic.  And if Murray is on forget it no chance.

It's not that totally unfair where we can say that they got helped from Giannis getting hurt in Game 1 which eventually leaded to certain games of unavailability because the Miami Heat also have their own handicap as Herro and Oladipo's absence really gave the team some troubles too instead of having a much higher win rate per game in a specific series. I mean, look at them now, they surely needed someone who can also handle defense and give some offense but even if Tyler Herro is already available, it's not a wise move to insert him to the team in this phase.

Herro needs to be a two-way player here, but coming from an injury it will be a big risk for him.

I think if coach Spo will use him in game 5, he will be more on a decoy to give space for the shooters, I mean Nuggets might be
more aggressive here forcing to end the series at home.

Herro needs to be more careful to avoid from suffering with another injury, though in the back of my head, I would love to see
the competitiveness of this kid,.

Can't hurt to throw him out there.  You will see within 2-3 minutes what he looks like.  Play him early with a short leash.  They are gonna have to throw the kitchen sink at Denver to stop them.  In the end I got Denver-9.  I know Miami will be battling but the talent levels are just to much for Miami to handle.

But from what I see, gamblers give DeSantis less chance than a week ago



Actually, the chances of all of them above have dropped a little bit since a week ago. Do people think that someone else apart from the trio will have more chances eventually?

I am not surprised. Ron DeSantis is unable to gain any momentum so far in the race. Even the launch of his campaign in Twitter got botched up (due to some technical issues from the part of Twitter). His numbers are more or less the same before and after the announcement. In short, he didn't got any boost after he launched his campaign. It was expected that he will be able to rally the anti-Trump faction within the GOP. But that hasn't happened. That faction is still split, with Haley, Scott, Ramaswamy and Pence still polling numbers that are not too insignificant.

Ron DeSantis is still referring to the Ukraine-Russia war as a "territorial dispute". That's one big mistake of his that I can see, but it's very likely that there are more. American people support Ukraine in their majority, and they want Ukraine to succeed in its war against Russia, meaning, taking its territories back. Nikki Haley, a member of the Republican Party, criticizing DeSantis for his stance on the matter, may start getting more sympathy from Republicans in the future, so I place a small bet on her while the odds are still pretty good



She has a strong foreign policy history as well.  The country could steer itself into getting a women in charge as well as most want to see change and there is yet another drastic change to see if it will change things.  Not a bad bet right now her name will definitely heat up as this gets going.

There's only a very small chance that the Miami Heat will come back, but even if they lose in the finals again, they have still done a great job to reach this far. Miami could potentially pull off an upset in game 5, and if they win game 6, then who knows, we might have a thrilling game 7. I understand that it is unlikely to happen, but as they say, the series is not over until the Nuggets have secured 4 wins.

There is very little chance that the game will go back to Miami on Thursday. The Nuggets will not take their chances and let the championship slip away from their home court. They will definitely try to finish the series on Monday night in their home. Some mischance might happen if they let it go to game 6. Once the series reaches game 7, it is anybody's ball game.

I am curious about what will be the adjustments on the side of the Miami Heat. They cannot stop the duo from scoring and outplaying their defense. Will they switch to offensive since they cannot stop the Nuggets anyway and just try to outscore them? The only reason they won game 2 was because they had a good scoring night. Maybe they can do that. Try to limit the duo of Jamal and Nikola but also try to outscore them. Their outside shooters should perform well in order for this to be successful.

I don't care about embid getting mvp this year, jokic is definitely the best player in the NBA today.  He doesn't have a bad game in him.  Because of his iq and willingness to play team ball he is almost unstoppable.  I think Miami has to double him and tighten in given the 3 point shot open and just hope Denver goes cold.  If they play the way they have been playing them it's over.

It is hard to go cold if you have Jokic setting up the play. The cutters are having a picnic against the Miami since they know wherever they are in the court, Jokic will see them and the assist will come. Double-team Jokic and one of the cutters are bound to be open. Miami has to deal with that too aside from Jokic and Jamal scoring.

Agreed but they don't have anyone who can play one on one with jokic.  It's a bad matchup for Miami.  Single him with bam and he will eat that up.  Cody zeller? Not a chance.  If I'm coach for a day I'm making anyone but jokic beat me.  I do agree jokic knows how to play around it but you can't let him have whatever he wants from whereever with him and Murray in the P&R game.

Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets is 1-3 and that seems played. It seemed for a while that Miai Heat could cause a sensation when they made Denver 1-1 away, but the past 2 games Denver have managed to win quite easily. How good is Nikola Djokic, perhaps by far the best player in the NBA at the moment. Only there are so many commercial breaks in basketball games, that takes the fun out of having to turn on the TV for 3 hours because of all those breaks. But the level has risen enormously in the NBA. And as for Heat, of course they still have a chance but I think 10% to win in total. Nuggets needs 1 win.

I don't care about embid getting mvp this year, jokic is definitely the best player in the NBA today.  He doesn't have a bad game in him.  Because of his iq and willingness to play team ball he is almost unstoppable.  I think Miami has to double him and tighten in given the 3 point shot open and just hope Denver goes cold.  If they play the way they have been playing them it's over.

Friends, can you invest your money on an altcoin that have an infinite max supply? I have interest in a altcoin, it have the ability to render RPC service to other crypto project, but the infinite supply is a big turn off for me, do you think it's worth the risk? The name of this project is POKT, Pocket Network.

No we have something that already has infinite supply...fiat.  the whole point of crypto was one to take control of your own money as well as a known supply that can never be changed.  If something has infinite supply (doge) price will go in the long run.  Demand for a coin can only get so high so once supply exceeds that demand its to the price cellar it will be headed to.

Matic/polygon is another one in the trap.  SEC is definitely swinging theor weight right now but we've seen these things before.  Don't know if it's worth buying the dip but if these coins tread water amd make it out there are some serious opportunities to be had.  I'm hedging my bet and cost averaging down on some of my positions.

This happened to me already twice in a row. I'm gambling for a long time but this is the first time I experience this kind of messy situation because it involves the fck up mempool.

I deposit my funds in a casino using a low-priority fee. I managed to triple my bankroll by playing a quick game of Blackjack with huge bets. But since my deposit is so frickin slow to confirm while I don't want to bump my fee since it will create a different transaction on my account. Due to my winning streak while still waiting for many hours, I decided to just play slowly using a 1$ bet. This 1$ bet grows to all-in because I just keep losing for an insane lose streak just because I can't withdraw my funds.

Sharing my personal experience of my recent losses so that no one will commit this same mistake. Bet responsibly. I will stay away from gambling for a while now that mempool is starting to suck once again.

DON'T GAMBLE IF THE INSTANT WITHDRAWAL IS NOT AVAILABLE!

I mean that's not just with situations that you just explained.  In general you need to play with patience.  What tends to get most gamblers in trouble is going down early amd then chasing theor losses.  They don't want to be down so try quickly to recover.  Someday it's just not your day and you will get them another day.  Patience definitely is key.
1271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 10, 2023, 07:52:36 PM
Nuggets is the team that have the best offense and best defense in the league. They don't only rely on Jokić, that's the best part. When Heat defend Murray and Jokić with 3 players, the others punish the defensive mistake. Aaron Gordon played his career game, Bruce Brown scored when all eyes on Murray and Jokić, KCP made two critical defense back to back and these all made the difference. Nuggets will finish this series at home, that's clear. And it's not Heat's fault, they faced against the best team in the NBA.

I’m not sure I’d give the Nuggets the title of the best defensive team, but they’re top 10 for sure. I think it’s their unorthodox offensive thanks to Jokic and unusually large athletic wings that set them apart. Having Jamal Murray as a scorer isn’t bad either. I think they’ll be the NBA champions this year and it’s highly likely that will happen on Monday.

Denver might not be the top defensive team according to the stats but they are in the top 10. The offense of Denver is just too much to handle. The presence of Jokic is always a problem for the opposing teams. The Joker can dribble, pass, shoot three-pointers, and set plays. And with Denver having a healthy Jamal Murray and with some reinforcements like Gordon and KCP. Every action an opposing team does on Jokic has an opportunity cost.

The only thing that Denver lacks is deep playoff experience which would've made it interesting if they faced Boston or Milwaukee in this finals. And with a championship ring, this team might be even more dangerous in the following years should they remain healthy.

Of they basically remain in tact this team will compete for the chip for the next 5 years.  They have a winning formula that can be repeated over and over.  Having jokic on the floor eliminates of a lot of the possibility of long stretches of losses.  Next years topics will be 3 things: can wemby play in the NBA to the same level, can anyone beat the Nuggets, and who and it can be anyone, will come out of the east.
1272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 10, 2023, 03:05:27 PM
Another win.  Leaning in hard on game 5.  I can't see Miami coming back and game 5 will end up being just too much.  We could be witnessing the beginning of a dynasty here.  Jokic has learned how to completely control the game and with Murray, mjp, and Gordon along with the other role players this team is set to win for awhile.

*This token is not mine neither do I have any control of it, I just found it after months searching through so much tokens launched on the binance smart chain*

As you guys know, we are living the early periods of the crypto market in which what determines if a coin/token thrives is not just utility but irrational hypes from internet communities. Just Look at Pepe and other meme-Coins
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have found a fresh brand new token that has passed every safety checks I could do. and I show you.

# Liquidity locked for 264 years on Unicrypt https://app.uncx.network/amm/pancake-v2/pair/0x19ad23F65298462d43705aEc23D285794AafA4f2

100% safe according to Gopluslabs website: https://gopluslabs.io/token-security/56/0x9469b3edddb18be8ad0459d4e2b8277c8ba1a464
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A week old token With such low market of barely 4000$ dollars I think this token has much potential to go 30.000x or even more. A request was done yesterday to list it on coinmarketcap website.

let me introduce the token:

Name: Bitcoin Meme
Chain: Binance Smart Chain
Max supply: 21 million
Contract: 0x9469b3edddb18be8ad0459d4e2b8277c8ba1a464
Where to buy it: Pancakeswap



As I Said before, the token is in its early stages. it's barely a week old. it has a twitter account and a telegram group. https://twitter.com/orangememecoin   https://t.me/+BTXCA4J6jH9lNzUx

I genuinely think there is a good possibility of making a life changing money betting on this token. if it gets listed on coinmarket with 21 million supply, 1$ up to 5$ per token is realistic target. When I say life changing I mean getting retired from working.

100$ dollars is worth the risk for me. if you guys want to check the charts here is the link: https://poocoin.app/tokens/0x9469b3edddb18be8ad0459d4e2b8277c8ba1a464

Let be honest, We are all here to make profits and the best way is to get early as much as possible in the projects.

What do you guys think? let's discuss about this project. I want to read some opinions.




Anything named after some other successful coin with a play on words is either an outright scam or at best a cash grab.  I wouldn't put one copper penny into these trash projects.  The more people support them the more that will pop up like moles.  You will probably lose your $100 or close to all of it but it's only a hundred so who cares I guess.  These things are rediculous though.

Honestly who knows.  Short term I don't think it will crash hard but as this whole thing plays out they might take a turn for the worse.  The US is a huge market for all of these exchanges.  But when the SEC sinks their teeth in, it's a hard grasp to get out of.  Overall bitcoin will have zero effect from this.  Bitcoin is immune to the singular issue downturns now.

After all Altcoins were troubled recently, Litecoin is gaining more confidence again.

But can Litecoin outperform Bitcoin or is Litecoin dead in your opinion?

Litecoin will always follow amd mirror bitcoin at best.  In little spurts they might outpace bitcoin but once bitcoin gets moving people will switch back over.  That's not a knock on litecoin but other than fees at some point there is no reason one would necessarily need litecoin in lieu of bitcoin.  Enjoy the mini pump but it won't be sustainable.

1277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 09, 2023, 05:46:52 PM
Everybody knows this is the last chance for Heat. If they lose this one I believe the series will be over in Game 5.
When Jokić and Murray play this good Heat need to do something extraordinary both on defense and offense. Hopefully we'll watch a good game tonight.

I agree, the Nuggets will not wait until the next game anymore just to win the whole series because Game 5 will be on their homecourt at Denver, and it is the perfect place to enjoy their first championship trophy. The Heat did a good run until they faced the Nuggets and unfortunately, this will be the Heat's final and last chance as I don't think too that they can still win it back and force another game to extend the series.

If they will lose again at home, the chance that it might be the last game for them in their home court.

Nuggets will do everything not to give Heat another chance to force and extend the series
as winning their first title would be sweeter in front of their own crowd.

Though, anything can happen after this game 4, we really can't dictate the conclusion but instead
we can only speculate and vocally provide our opinions if how we wanted to see the finals.

I can feel that the Miami Heat's luck is just coming to an end. They already achieved a lot despite their current roster of underdogs. They can probably shutdown or slow down Jamal Murray later but there is no solution to stop this prime Nikola Jokic. Double-teaming Jokic will also open opportunities to the other Denver sharp shooters knowing how good the Serb is when it comes to capitalizing situations. The best way for Miami is to keep their defense high but at the same time, they need to shoot well. Miami had more attempts in game 3 which could have translated to victory if only they shoot well. My take is Denver will win later and then close the series in game 5 at home. 

Meanwhile, things are also getting interesting as free agency is coming up. Chris Paul is expected to get waived by Phoenix but there's also the chance that he will be traded.

I agree they just met a team that is just flat better than them talent wise that they won't be able to overcome by sheer grit.  Lots left to go on this series but it doesn't look good.  There is no way they can go down 3-1 in this series if they want a chance so game 4 might end up being played out like a game 7 game.  Should be a low scoring grind it out game.
1278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 08, 2023, 08:22:32 PM
So it seems that everyone is not on the same boat, unlike game 1 wherein almost the majority went for the Nuggets to win even if the initial handicap is almost double digit.

For this game 3, I will go with the Heat at +3.5, still at 1.90 so that is good enough for me.

And with that kind of almost 50/50 bet here, it just shows that this game should be very close and could be decided again in the last couple of minutes or even less than that.

I feel like a lot of money is hitting the +3.5 and man I hate to bet against a home team in the playoffs with them at home but I'm laying on the Nuggets.  I said I was gonna lay on them the whole way down and can't believe one game should change that.  Hitting Denver-3.5 and a jokic pts+rbs+asst over.

Good luck everyone and enjoy game 3.

2 for 2.  Jokic over on props is as easy as it gets.  Can't believe both jokic and Murray had a triple double.  Can't say I've watched a game this important with 2 trip dubs in one game.  First time in a finals?

Think I'm gonna hit the same bet for game 4.  Can't see jokic not hitting, nobody can stop him at this point.  And if you throw bodies on him, dude will rack up 20-30 assists lol.

What percentage of your bankroll are using as your bet size. I read an article online before that 1% to 3% is the ideal for low risk gambling while 4% to 5% for aggressive gambling. I use the aggressive type bankroll management on most of my game because I’m always bored playing with minimum bets or low percentage of my bankroll because I knew that house edge will kill me long term.

Are using a fixed percentage on your bets or you are just betting random amount? Also do you deposit your total bankroll and just withdraw if you are on target profit or stop loss or you are just depositing exact amount of money for your gambling without extra.

For me it's all about feel and what I'm looking for that night.  If I'm in an action mood I bet way over 5% of the roll.  Especially if I'm only betting one or 2 games that night.  I'm not disciplined enough to not chase sports bets lol.  Anything under 5% to me is conservative that doesn't register as aggressive to me.  If I had to guess average at any given time I hit 10-40% of the current bankroll on my bets.
