^^ Yeah, same with the Grizzlies game, it was very close until Ja Morant went out and it changes the game for them. Of course, we will give credit to the Lakers for taking the game 1 at Memphis, Hachimura can't missed on the 3 point line.
And then what can we say? Reaves is quiet the first two quarters even missing a easy shot in the first quarter which he usually make. But in the 4th he takes over the game and the Lakers fan love him.
So there are two upsets tonight, Lakers over Memphis and then the Heat taking advantage of Giannis winning this one.
Yes, even if the Los Angeles Lakers had a much easier way in the fourth quarter because of Ja Morant's hand injury, we can't discredit Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura's presence in the court because they were a vital key and the main reasons why the Lakers owned the 1st game vs the Memphis Grizzlies. Well, AD and LeBron was good as expected but the key players was the highlight in this game.
That makes 3 upsets, Lakers defeated Grizzlies, Heat defeating the Bucks, and there are the Clippers who defeated the Suns as well.

The first game of the playoffs in round one, and the Lakers had a very good game. The second half of the game, I mean the last 2 quarters were actually very great for the Lakers. They had performed really well. I can also say that the Lakers performed as a team. Different players had very important contributions to the team in this game for the Lakers.

We don't have any regulations prohibiting women or the elderly from participating in cryptocurrencies, and the market is mostly anonymous, so we won't be able to see who is participating. But it is not surprising that women enter the market because the need to make money is available to everyone.

Laszlo didn't expect the prices to go that far though and it's not like he wasn't doing it for nothing, iirc he did it to prove that you can use bitcoin for basic transactions not to mention that he's already part of the history of bitcoin, now the lens that we will look at it will be different but we know for a fact that he did something great. Stop dwelling too much on the thought that you spending your bitcoin and for the prices to go up after the fact is a bad thing, it's not your fault, and it's not like you know that the prices were going to go up after you've used it for some transactions.

No one can predict what the future will be like, even Satoshi must be surprised by the value of bitcoin today. If you can hold bitcoins for a long time that's good for you, but spending bitcoins is also good for you because it benefits you. I don't regret spending my bitcoins for life, as it is serving my life well.

We should be proud, bitcoin will be the investment that will create many millionaires fastest in financial history. What if these people can hold when bitcoin hits $1 million? That's why billionaires hate bitcoin, they've worked hard all their lives to become millionaires, billionaires. But with bitcoin in just a few years, everything has changed.

Hi I have been toying with the idea of investing in BTC but have waited due to some investors saying the price will drop to 12 - 16k again. do you think it could still drop to this or are we more likely to move on up to 40k?

thanks in advance.

Who told you? No expert or anyone can predict bitcoin. What you hear from them is just their silly thoughts. If you don't buy now then I think you will buy bitcoin for $40k. Whether you want to buy bitcoin for $30k or $40k is up to you.
146  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is money ruling the world? on: April 16, 2023, 10:58:32 AM
Money is something that can make anyone interested, from the poor or the rich, everyone likes money, it's only natural that money can control all matters, even when we are convicted, the thing we can do is do everything with that money so that the verdict is overturned .

Money can buy anything, so it's no surprise that the more money you have, the lower your penalty will be. Today, if we don't have money, we are trash in everyone's eyes, but if we have a lot of money, people will still love us no matter how bad it is. A murderer with a lot of money will still be loved, more than a beggar. Our society is being corrupted by money.

You're asking a superfluous, unnecessary question because I've never seen anyone lose money who could be happy. Money is hard to come by these days, so it's annoying to lose money for no gain. But in your case, what you get is worth it because you are too greedy to invest in scam projects.
148  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Being Russia and Russian now on: April 16, 2023, 10:50:59 AM
Indeed, the economic sanctions imposed by Western Europe and the U.S. on Russia have primarily targeted banks, oligarchs, and technology imports. These measures were intended to curb Moscow's involvement in Ukraine's conflict and pressure the Russian government to change its policies. However, it is also true that the sanctions have not significantly impacted ordinary Russians' daily lives. However, economic sanctions can have long-term consequences on a country's economy, and it is difficult to predict their full impact over time. In the case of Russia, some analysts believe that the sanctions may have contributed to a decline in foreign investment and slowed economic growth.


Europe and the US have used almost all possible sanctions to put pressure on Russia. If it is not true to say that Russia is not affected, this will more or less affect the Russian economy is inevitable. But to say sanctions will kill or destroy the Russian economy so far, the plan of the US and its allies has completely failed. In the long term, I have a more optimistic view of the Russian economy because it will have time to find new partners and allies and fix things faster than it can. Europe is not the only customer in the world, so Europe's absence will be resolved, but things take time.
Sanctioning Russia was the right thing to do, however we must recognize that sanctions hardly if ever work on forcing a government to change course, and what better example of this than Cuba, Cuba has been subjected to sanctions by the US for more than 60 years and yet communism is still there after such a long time and it is not like the Cuban government is close to change its ways anytime soon, then I expect something similar could happen at Russia, the living standards of the population will drop but Putin will remain in power.

Russia is a great power, has rich natural resources, and is the world's second largest supplier of oil and gas, a comparison with Cuba is a lame comparison. The US can only bully small countries but cannot crush powerful countries like Russia and China.

More than a year has passed, and we can see that Russia is still standing up to the sanctions and that their energy industry is bringing in huge revenue. With that, they have turned to Asia, looking for new partners, I really doubt that their economy will collapse or will fall into a deadlock like Cuba. If the US and its allies want to destroy the Russian economy completely, they should have a new, more effective solution.
It's true that I don't think Russia's economy has been affected too much,
and it is not impossible that in the future the United States will continue to try to paralyze this sector,
what is clear is that it is not easy because after all Russia is a big and powerful country.

With cooperation between Russia and India, China. Not only has the Russian economy not collapsed and is recovering very well, the Russian people are quite satisfied with what they are going through because it does not look like a war. I think the US and the West have run out of sanctions and what they are doing now is increasing aid to Ukraine with the slim hope of defeating Russia.

There are so many strange things going on with the US dollar right now, I believe that the US dollar will be backed by Bitcoin someday (the Us dollar being backed by faith is not enough); it may not happen now, but it will happen in a few years.. sounds ridiculous right?



Currently, all countries' currencies are backed by their governments, the economy determines the value of the currency, today's currencies are not backed by any assets even gold. So, thinking about the prospect of bitcoin supporting USD is a myth. Bitcoin will become a scarce asset like gold and will become an asset in the national budget is possible.
150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin is a light on: April 16, 2023, 10:34:13 AM
I like Bitcoin and support it, but I believe comparing it to light is a bit too much. Light is something that people realize that they need for lots of reasons. There's the obvious convenience reason because we can't see in the dark, and then light also usually means warmth, which is something we need for survival. But there's also a long history of philosophy that continually used light as a crucial metaphor or talked about light specifically: knowledge and truth are light, being and goodness are like while non-being and evil are darkness, God is light, etc. Maybe after thousands of years Bitcoin, if it manages to survive and remain relevant, can also become a crucial topic of world's history of thought and become considered extremely important, but we're very far from it right now for obvious reasons, and it's normal that many don't understand why they should use something that has been around for less than a couple of decades.

This is true, bitcoin is good but not comparable to light, everyone needs light, but many people still don't need bitcoin. Many people are still living very well without bitcoin. But it is not wrong that many people consider bitcoin to be their light because, thanks to bitcoin, it has helped them escape poverty and escape the regulation of the government.

Aston Villa's match against Newcastle is underway and while Aston Villa is ahead with a score of 1-0. The game is still very long because it's still the first half and anything can happen. Moreover, if Aston Villa manages to secure full points in this match, at least their position will be quite safe from the pursuit of their closest team. Meanwhile, if Newcastle lose, they have to try again to secure the top 4 positions from Manchester United and Spurs. But it looks like Aston Villa will win this time and I'm still waiting for Newcastle to score an equalizer to make the game more interesting.

It seems that Aston Villa will have to get 3 points from this match by any means today. From the first minute of the match, they are playing an attacking strategy. They scored 1-0 in just 11 minutes. In 30 minutes, Aston Villa made a total of 7 shots, while Newcastle made only one shot. Aston Villa's attack forced Newcastle to play defensively today. It looks like the first half will end 1-0. However, in the second half, Newcastle will change their match strategy and achieved points from this match. I expected this match to be a draw. But I don't see good performances from Newcastle players.
152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indian Premier League #IPL on: April 15, 2023, 11:57:30 AM
I don't know for sure but had DC been a better team, Warner would automatically play aggressive than his current defensive play. Having players behind you to take care of innings makes you fearless.

I want to see how much Delhi team scores if Warner is out early. Axar Patel's last quick fifty was nice but to me it appeared luck rather than skill.

I would be really surprised if they make a total of more than 150 after Warner getting out cheaply. Apart from Warner, none of the other batsmen have been scoring runs for the Delhi Capitals. Prithvi Shaw have been a huge disappointment so far, and Manish Pandey hasn't done any good either. Yash Dhull and Aman Khan are too inexperienced to make any significant contributions. Axar Patel had one half century to his name and it was mostly due to luck. And despite all this, it is David Warner who has been getting the brickbats.

I wouldn't be surprised if Delhi wins against Bengaluru today. I would even say that Delhi has a chance to win today. Bengaluru set a target of 175 runs today. I wouldn't call it a very big target. I say that Delhi has a chance to win because Bengaluru's bowling line-up is not very strong. They are not doing well this season. However, Delhi has a lot of talented batsmen in its squad. But they did not play well in the previous matches. Hope they play well today. Delhi needs to score around 9 runs per over to win.

''Everyday is not Sunday'' Chasing 228 very difficult task which attempts to fail most of the time. if they can not good start, it is impossible to expect a win. I think we should have scored like 80 in the first 6 overs to win the match. KKR able to get 62 by 3 wickets in first 6 overs. They could have made this match even easier if they could have played a bit more aggressively in the first 5 overs of the game. Miracles shouldn't happen every match, Since there was a possibility in the match, so we can expect some miracle to happen.

Despite losing three top-order batsmen in the power play, the performance of the Kolkata team is truly commendable. Especially Rinku Singh is an excellent player. RInku's performance in the last two matches has impressed everyone. Team India is going to get a perfect finisher for the T20 format. Apart from Rinku, Nitish Rana performed well in this match. He scored 75 runs. Kolkata is now fourth in the points table with two defeats and two wins from four matches.
154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 14, 2023, 08:04:42 PM
Pakistan need to focus on winning this series first as Pakistan also is struggling side specially in T20 format. Its very much clear that this NZ team will give tough time to Pakistan.
New Zealand has lost the first match very pathetically. I'm not expecting any tough fight from them in this series as the key players are missing in the squad. Where Pakistan is playing with their main squad. Perhaps, Pakistan will easily win this series against New Zealand. New Zealand has lost their last 5 wickets within 7 runs today.

I didn't expect New Zealand to lose so badly. But my guess was that Pakistan would win. Still, New Zealand's innings stopped at just 94 runs. I thought New Zealand would be able to muster at least 150. Pakistan used 7 bowlers in this match. Haris Rouf has given an excellent performance. He was able to pick up four valuable wickets. Also, Imad Wasim took two wickets in 1 over giving only 2 runs. In this series, we will see the dominance of Pakistan, and the series will be easily won by Pakistan.

The draw against Girona won't change anything for Barcelona to win the title of Laliga for this season because their competitor Real Madrid lost the game against Villarreal and this increased the gap between these two teams because this week Barcelona lost two points Real Madrid lost three points but generally Barcelona is not in a good situation after the lost the El Clasico in Copa Del Rey against Real Madrid.  
Now Barcelona only needs to take care of themselves not to lose the remaining matches in this season so they can confirm the championship early in La Liga this season because apart from not changing anything with the draw obtained by Barcelona, Barcelona's advantage also continues because remember Real Madrid were unable to get any points against Villarreal. So Barcelona now only needs to focus on getting points in every game even if it's only with one number.
Already Barcelona has enough points to guide them against any contender, not even Real Madrid will have access to FCB in that position in as much as La liga is consent.  Barca may lose some matches, But not to an extent of losing their leading points.  Barcelona priority now is securing that title and nothing seems to stop them cuz the work input required is less compared to some weeks ago this is because the remaining matches left isn't Tough.

If Barcelona is defeated in 5 matches, Madrid will be able to move to the top of the table. But Madrid must win all the matches. Firstly, it is unlikely that Madrid will win all the matches. And secondly, I don't see any chance of Barcelona losing 5 out of 10 matches. Barcelona might lose 2/1, or draw, but they won't lose the top spot in the table. Xavi is quite an experienced coach. His aim is to make the team more stable. And to prepare the team for the upcoming Champions League. Hopefully, Xavi will succeed and the Barcelona team will become stronger.

Any club must have experienced difficult times in league competitions or in any competition and what Chelsea must do next season is to find a quality coach, so they can compete in the Champions League and Premier League. ....
Chelsea is having a very bad season at the moment, as Chelsea's condition this season is truly beyond expectations. No matter how much they try, they buy several players, spend money, and also attract a new coach who they think is appropriate and can bring Chelsea well, but apparently not easy as that. Chelsea have not been able to raise their performance very well. lucky they passed the UCL to this quarter-final round. But they still lost in the first leg to Real Madrid. Chelsea really need a big overhaul next season so that their name can go up and be strong again both in the Premier League and in the UCL or other leagues.

Chelsea management's major mistake was to sack their former coach Thomas Tuchel. Chelsea's performances have been somewhat erratic since the start of the season. Given Tuchel enough time, he might have been able to stabilize the team. But Chelsea management sacked their coach. And the new coach could not improve the team. Instead, Chelsea's performance has been weaker. And now Chelsea's performance is very weak. It is very unlikely that Chelsea can get back on track this season.
157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 14, 2023, 07:36:44 PM
Exactly have several change composition against Bologna and Milan should effective without any several main player have winning from Bologna if want secure top fourth position, Inter will move to 4th position if Milan fail get three points against Bologna.
Next three games are must wins for Inter. Monza Empoli and Lacio. If they want to be in top 4 and to play champions league next years those three games are a must win.
It's back to the question of whether Inter deserved to complete the mission you say. Not without reason, that's because one of the three teams that Inter will face in the next three weeks is Lazio, we all know that currently Lazio is the team with the best performance in Serie A after Napoli. It will not be easy to face Maurizio Sarri's team, especially when it comes to winning, of course Inter needs to do something new
Inter is still far behind Roma and Milan so how can you compare Inter to Lazio. Inter is 7 points behind Lazio, so Inter needs to win 3 matches in a row to overtake Lazio and Lazio, Milan and Roma need to lose the next 3 matches in a row. but i don't think it can happen easily. really need to do something new for inter then it can happen. I won't say that Inter are a bad team and they play badly but I would say that their performance is not ready to overtake Lazio yet.

Inter Milan is not in the top four of the points table but it is no surprise. Even Inter Milan's chances of qualifying for the Champions League are very low. Because the performances of Roma and Juventus are much more regular than Inter Milan. It seems Inter Milan's main focus now is on the Champions League match. Because while Milan performed well against Benfica in the Champions League, their performance in Serie A is very poor. I think the Juventus team will be able to qualify for the Champions League. And at the end of the season, Inter Milan team will be fifth or sixth in the table.
158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 14, 2023, 07:32:42 PM
Now people can understand when I said Tuchel won't help this team a lot and there is a chance for Bayern Munich to have the worst perforce I was right, Before Tuchel you were racing to the top of the table and they had the chance to the champions league buy now Bayern Munich lost the champions league easily because there is no way for them to score fours goals against Manchester City in the second leg.
I believe Tuchel would help the team because he is a good manager, Julian Nagelsmann is a good manager too and should not have been sacked, but he was and now the team must forget about him and concentrate on their new manager and what they are fighting for this season. It is not only Tuchel's fault that Manchster City beat Bayern 3-0, it is possible they would have lost even if Nagelsmann was still their manager, but i understand that people will surely criticize a manager if he is not doing better than the previous manager. Tuchel may win only the bundesliga this season, but that is enough and he would then begin to prepare his team for next season.
When a coach comes to a team at the end of the season it will be a little difficult for him to be able to immediately make the team develop because it takes time to adapt first while experimenting with game strategies that are suitable for his new squad, maybe Tuchel's focus right now is only to be able to ended the rest of the season with maximum results even without bringing any trophies, but for next season I'm sure Tuchel can make Bayern Muchen an even stronger team by making several player overhauls.
I wouldn't expect too much from Tuchel in this stoppage time, he will only do with what the current squad capable of producing. even without overhaul the squad will be better because he will have better understanding of the boys by then. Tuchel is a tactical coach with great ambition. Even in chelsea,  no one expected that much from him on his arrival but he did amazingly great at arrival. The difficulties in Bayern are just but momentarily,  Bayern Munich will become even more formidable than it is now.


I also believe that Bayern Munich will become stronger. But I don't think that will happen anytime soon. Tuchel has just taken charge of the team. Adequate time is needed to get to know the players and apply new match strategies. At the same time the squad players also need time to adapt to the new match strategy. And so I don't expect much from Bayern Munich this season. There is no chance of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Champions League. Even if Munich doesn't win the Bundesliga title, I wouldn't be surprised.

Chelsea are not really in a very good position in the points table. The worst teams of the past are currently above Chelsea in the points table. I think the reason why Chelsea team has deteriorated so much is because of the failure of the coach of the team. The team authorities have to work hard to bring the team back to its former glory.
The Chelsea coach must be able to change the strategy and concept for next season so that Chelsea can compete again with the big, strong teams at the top, because Chelsea is a big team that has had very good achievements. But it's very unfortunate that this season Chelsea have to slump for some reason and this must be fixed immediately so that Chelsea doesn't slump again in the next season.
Chelsea we all know is a big club but at the moment, they are just like an average premier league club who can be beaten by any club in the league. They currently do not have a specific style of play and that's their biggest problem at the moment of which their current manager Frank Lampard can can not even do anything to save them because he lacks the tactical ability to change the club's performance and results. They play Brighton tomorrow and I don't even see them winning against the 7th placed team.

Chelsea's performance this season is that of a mediocre team. Their performances have been very erratic this season. Despite having a strong squad, their performance did not improve. And I think the reason for Chelsea's poor performance is their poor match strategy. The Chelsea coach did not succeed in stabilizing the team. I think Chelsea's performances will continue to be so erratic next season. Chelsea management will now have to build a completely new team. Otherwise I don't think their performance will improve.

Valencia actually conceded much less goals than Sevilla in the league so far but Sevilla are still five points ahead of them. Even the amount of goals they scored is nearly the same for both teams. They are both under the threat of relegation of course as you indicated already. I wouldn't like to see any of these teams relegating from the La Liga of course.
Especially Sevilla's relegation would be a big shock for so many people. I still don't want to give it much possibility but still there is this probability. Sevilla had better make a little improvement in their game to reach safety at least.
Nothing is impossible or surprising for everyone because from the start of the season, Sevilla did not present themselves as the strongest team in Laliga. I lost faith in them every game to bet on. they really let me down in every game they play.
But I still want to see them in Laliga next season. Sevilla must be able to make changes quickly because this season leaves 10 matches left. sevilla upcoming match will face valencia I will not bet on this match. it is difficult to predict the unstable team for this match.

It looks like Sevilla is going to stay in La Liga. They have certainly not played exceptionally well. But they have played well enough to get out of the relegation zone. They have played horribly and they have also started the season horribly as well. But now they have at least improved compared to that. So relegation is not a big problem for them right now but that is also in arms reach.
