Westbrook was healthy last season and yet he doesn't play like a real big 3. If Davis will have a great season, I hope Westbrook will not ruined his moment as his inconsistency is really a big problem to the team, especially during crucial times.
The upcoming season will probably be Westbrook's last chance to prove to everyone that he can still dominate the court and perform impressively like an all-star player. So if Westbrook is able to analyze his poor performance from the previous season and draw appropriate conclusions, he could be useful for the Lakers. Although I honestly don't have much faith in that.
I do not think that Westbrook has anything to show for anymore, he lost his super fast moves and he can't drive anymore and his "act like driving but stop and shoot midrange" act is not getting anything important and he is missing them too. Which means that he is going to just get worse and worse and he would be lucky to find a minimum salary next season. His future is just like Carmelo Anthony's future, dude was one of the best scorers of his era and then he wasn't even wanted, same will happen to Westbrook.
1442  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Merge will change Ethereum blockchain consensus on: September 11, 2022, 06:02:50 PM
This will be only Proof-of-work (PoW) versus Proof-of-stake(PoS) battle, a consensus battle.
But overall, we all know that Bitcoin got different functions from Ethereum, they work differently. For me, no threat to Bitcoin at all as Bitcoin will still be Proof-of-work(PoW).
Maybe only the price? If Ethereum PoS will be good after some time, we may see a huge spike in the price of Ethereum, a huge percentage pump compared to Bitcoin. But overall, this Ethereum PoS a positive effect for cryptocurrency market.
I think the battle between the pos and pow are already been there ever since before because there are already coins which are based on pos but the consensus in cryptos are not only limited to two. Let us not forget that there are also others out there like poa and poh (only to name a few).

Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages so we can't say that one can take over the other but all of them are only equal. Maybe eth will pump good after the transition but that shouldn't last long and the price will normalize again. Btc on the other hand can always catch up and will take the lead again once eth is done celebrating its new form.

You taking a big risk.. being a "new" employee and spreading information about a technology that are highly controversial.  Roll Eyes  Most countries do not have proper regulations regarding "Bitcoin" and crypto currencies, so people are using it in a "grey" area ...when it comes to the law.

What if you done this and many people bought bitcoins and suddenly your government bans Crypto currencies? You will have to warn those people about the possible consequences of their decisions.... to cover yourself.
This is why when I am still new in the class or at my new work, I always keep quiet until I gather more friends and other people will know me personally. That should be the time to share my knowledge on the things that I know such as bitcoin but of course I will not share illegal stuffs with them. If btc is restricted on my country then better if I will keep quiet because I am afraid they will blame me once they get caught out by the authorities.

If btc is fully legal, I will just tell them everything that they need to know including its disadvantages and risk, that btc is too volatile and then there are so many hackers or scammers who are after our coins.
1444  Economy / Economics / Re: What define your success, "money, fame or achievement"? on: September 10, 2022, 05:00:49 PM
true success for me is when i am able to achieve my dream and can enjoy it with my family. and able to share with others. create a harmonious life and make my life colorful and full of happiness. because actually we have a dream is because we think that if our dream is achieved then we will be happy. so success for me is happiness. because the hard work we do to achieve something is because we expect happiness in it.
I bet you are already successful with your life because your goal is only easy to achieve and that is happiness. You can be happy when you play or bond with your family and it doesn't require a big effort or a capital/money. If what you want is to give or share your blessings to the other people, you can always do that and again there is no need for you to acquire a big amounts of cash but you should only choose the people that you will lend a help because not all are willing to receive small gifts but they will sometimes complain and backstab you once you leave. Those people are so ungrateful but don't worry, they won't be blessed next time.

Dear in future trades stop loss and book profit works very well you should always go with them to avoid high volatile market run as to avoid losses, i would like to say in Binance and other pro trading apps you can make Take profit to be split on different price tags and same thing you can do with the Stop loss, it will highly increase your post efficiency. Sometime in worst cases of a trade these small tools help a lot to avoid losses and if price increase for minimal time there these Stop position books profits for you.
He know these things already but what he wants to use for now is the spot trade because it has a running promotion but the problem is that the spot trade on bitget doesn't have a stop loss and take profit feature. Not a pro trader here but I think it is always possible to trade manually without using those tools not unless if he is too busy to not monitor the price actively but if that is the case then he can just forget this promotion.

I am sure that the earnings he will be getting in this promotion will still be earned in a regular way of trading. If not now then it can always be done soon as soon as he greatly improves his skills in crypto trading.

Werder breman today is a huge favourite to win against augsburg which is understandable they have a really good result in this beginning of season on the contrary their opponent is in really bad shape with three consecutive losses, it will be miracle for them to get points today against such a good team.
Werder breman has a good result for away matches, not home matches. Augsburg is not having good reason but have 1 home win and 1 away win. If I should just advice, this kind of match is not predictable and should just be left alone.
Even I am also in favor of Werder Bremen but still this is not easy game for both teams as they are playing unpredictable games in this season and Augsburg is having only one win from their last five games this win was against another most disastrous team of this season Bayer Leverkusen but on other side Werder Bremen is doing good job and have two wins and two draws with just one lost at home against Eintracht Frankfurt but still their home record is not good enough which is having some concern but most chances if they play aggressive which is their style then surely we can expect good result from them with most chances we can go over 2.5 as well which is going with home win good for any punter.
1447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 08, 2022, 09:12:53 PM
Now in seventh round we are going to have few very exciting matches which will give more clear shape to this league table like Marseille is going to face Lille
They were consistent, 4 wins in the row show us They are more competitive to coup PSG, but usually what makes me worry is they are only good at the beginning and going to down in the middle session. We know both have the same points, Alexis Sanches is on fire, he found his performance in Marseille was just played 5 times but created 3 goals, is he getting better than was on Inter?
This is a fundamental problem that has always existed with the team. They are difficult to maintain consistency, so they have to decline as the season is about to end. I don't understand why things like this always happen, maybe they are too complacent with what they get. Confidence is a must, but if it's too much then it's not good either, because if that's the case, they will definitely underestimate the opponent.
They need to learn about their weakness and with this consistency is also very important for them because they lost badly in last season and downed with this now their start is again good and have 4 wins with first lost against Lorient, but this was terrible now they are going to have another challenge Monaco is also good even having bad season start, but now they are improving performance which is surely going to be good for them with just few hours back they won their first match in UEFA Europa Cup which is good for them and their confidence which is going to be improved their performance in coming matches.

But here Lyon is surely needed more stability as their few quality players are able to give them better results, but they also need to work on consistency which is important for them for their stay at the top of table.
1448  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does altcoins actually have the potentials of generating benefits to investors? on: September 08, 2022, 08:29:22 PM
As a beginner into the trading business, I'm always scared of putting my money into altcoins but I do hear some people talk about how they make profits altcoins.

So I decided to come here to seek the views of experienced traders on the potentials of altcoins.
If you enter the market with little capital, then it will be difficult for you to make a lot of money from bitcoin. You can buy bitcoin today and forget about it until 2024. Altcoins are more dynamic, they are traded on decentralized exchanges and can give more profit. But first, study altcoins from the top 30 Coinmarketcap.
But he is just a beginner so it's fine if he can start with a small amount until he grasps things properly. I've seen lots of starters who then put large amounts and then get discouraged and never came back again right after they experience a failure.

It's still possible to produce a good amount of profit from just a small capital. It can be done by luck like when you pick up a new born coin and then it booms. Or by skills like you will trade established coins slowly but surely. It's difficult to make massive gains through btc because its value is expensive already but we can only hope that it will drop more so that we can still be able to make decent returns.

No one will doubt the quality of Mourinho as a coach and his achievements tho Wink
The only problem with him is his old school tactics that are known by most teams and easy to counter them. I am not an expert obviously but that's what I am aware of from analysts.
His previous experience with Spurs was quite unpleasant for example although he had good players. So if he succeed with Roma and fail with Spurs then it is not totally his fault tho.
When Mourinho came to Manchester United, he had even more good players, but as we can see, this did not help him in any way. I don't know if it's right to say that his time has passed? After all, there are coaches like Ancelotti and I can't say that his strategy is modern, it just brings results. It will be difficult for him to achieve good results in Roma, but he does not have much choice now.
Here we have nothing new because as sportsperson many problems are happened in his life same happening as coach with Mourinho even I believe he is still a good and quality coach even facing some terrible time with his strategy and many times having issues with his wrong decisions as well most chances he will survive and able to give us good results as he has done in last year and won UEFA Europa Conference Cup.

In last match and today both times have failures, but things can change in positive way with these failures, but he needs to check his mistakes and learn from them which is surely going to help him for better results in coming matches Ancelotti is completely another class and have enough things which are helping him for having amazing results until now.
1450  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do we gamble or trade? on: September 08, 2022, 06:55:33 PM
Gambling definitely doesn't need to learn anything and isn't as complex as trading,
i totally agree that gambling depends on luck and that is the fact,
trading requires knowledge and skills
Depends on the type of gambling games. For me I find it difficult to place a bet in sports betting because every platform that I visit seem to be the same. The interface or the menu is so confusing but even if I figured it out, I still need a good knowledge on how the team plays so that I can increase my chances of winning. I can say that the complexity in sports betting can be the same with trading.

Sports betting again doesn't totally rely in luck, same with trading but you need a tiny pinch of luck in order to be successful in difficult situations. When we trade or play gambling, we gamble money but trading and gambling are both different activities.

Between Skale Network, Satoshi Island or Lido Dao which one do you think will be better investment in this bear market.
Unknown projects to me, and like with all new projects don't invest a lot in them! If you are aiming for some high returns (over x1000, or x10k) even some little investment will bring huge profits! Investing in new projects is always a big risk, and nobody can help you to make the right choice. We can just advise you too not get into some risky thing with all you have, don't borrow money to invest in them, just the money you can afford to lose!
Maybe those projects are unknown to you but not really for him or to others. You cant help him decide if which among the three is the best but it's great that you came up with a tip instead. Whether it's a new or a not so new project, it's a rule of thumb that we shouldn't invest a lot but invest only according to our own capacity. A times 1k is not easy, especially on this current bear situation but how much more times 10k?

I think that's crazy already. Good coins like bitcoin and ethereum can't do that even if they have given an adequate time. The goal here is to invest safely and earn a sufficient amount and not to take a big risk and have no guaranteed earnings at all.
1452  Economy / Economics / Re: Working hours | How many are too many? on: September 06, 2022, 07:04:32 PM
According to the country you live in and the job you have, the situation can be very different. For example, if I were to tell you about my job and country, the working hours would be more than 40 hours per week, which is very much for a normal person who has almost no technical knowledge, whereas I work 28 hours per week and earn a lot more money than what they do in 40 hours, so if you have more knowledge, you are more likely to get a better job with fewer hours. However, regardless of that, many people will not sell their time or their everyday job and they think that having a 9-6 job is just like selling your time to someone else and that having a 9-6 job is just like selling yourself to them.
I tried to divide 40 hrs into 6 days and I came up with 6.6 hrs as a result. I didn't include 1 day because I think it's a day off for most common jobs while for some job they have a 2 day off which are very decent. Working 6.6 hrs a day is not too much because the normal working hours is 8 hrs per day.

Many people are knowledgeable and have completed different courses in college but I believe that the majority of them are still low earners and work's in a 9 to 6 job while there are those who are less educated or less knowledgeable than them but can manage to earn twice or thrice than what they are earning and can work in a lesser number of hours.
1453  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can this be the reason some people are afraid to invest in Bitcon? on: September 06, 2022, 04:20:42 PM
The only reason why people are afraid of Bitcoin is fear caused by lack of knowledge. There is nothing to do with investment, a lot of people are afraid to try something new, because they see no reason doing it. They dont want to change and try anything new, because their current life completely suits them. My first acquaintance with Bitcoin happened when I searched for a way to earn extra money. Reason of acquaintance - I have started loosing control and confidence of my financial situation.
I think some of us don't also know the reason on why we tried btc but what we only know is that we got curious about it. While there are some who are like you that tried btc because they hear that you can make money out it. You are not contented on your poor life so you want to change it with the help of btc but what about those who are rich already?

We are aware that they are still investing in stocks, real estates and others but unfortunately only a few of them added btc on their portfolios. These people are smart but not really when it comes to bitcoin. If only they will study it, they will realize that what they think about btc is wrong.

Finally there is some good news to the football fans. Qatar will allow ticketed fans to purchase beer at the stadium 3 hours before the kickoff. But then there is another problem. The fans will be in Qatar for at least 1-2 weeks. There will be many fans who are likely to attend multiple matches of their country. If the matches are a few days apart, then these fans will not get an opportunity to party in between. What is the point in having one or two cans of beer just before the match starts? If I were a fan, then I would skip this tournament.
I think there are designated areas that will be serving alcohol. I can't remember where I read it though so it might not really be official. Kinda like hotels bars for foreigns.
Now updates are coming as many things are going to be clear before start of this event because FIFA and Qatar authorities are understanding the concerns which are creating feud for many things as it's first time we have event like this in Islamic Country, so they are going with all their best opportunities to do this all without any big controversy even we all know this Gulf region is much developed, and they are already having millions of non Muslims which are living here for jobs and business and enjoying good life but still this is surely a multicultural event which need some better environment and facilities for peoples to enjoy with the success of their teams on and off the filed which is their right.

They already mention that peoples can enjoy this alcohol in hotels and their rooms but having some trouble on roads and other public places, hopefully all things will be updated soon.
1455  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Faucet website on: September 05, 2022, 08:48:12 PM
I have mined some coins and want to share with people. Prefer a faucet website, people click one or twice a day, input the wallet address and send it automatically.
No ads, no task, no redirect etc...do not know any facuet website can do that
From what I understand he is asking if there are faucet sites that are like that. He isn't the one that looks for it but in fact he is going to build a faucet that are like that. All what he wants is to share his coins and he doesn't plan to make a profit so there is no need for him to place ads on that faucet site.

Haven't seen a faucet like this so far except to those who will send you coins directly to your wallet (any types) not those micro payments wallets like faucethub. That's a hassle since you will still need to reach a certain amount before you can send the coins to your main wallet. Faucet without ads aren't shady not unless if they really do some shady stuffs like they are using your cpu to mine coins.

I think I don't agree that the German squad has decreased in quality. from my observations, the german squad is currently undergoing a transitional period of renewal of young players.
On their attack line there are Kai Havertz, Karim Adameyi, Timo Werner, Lukas Nmecha. they are all young players, I have no doubts about the german squad but their strikers have not been tested on the world cup stage. As for the very experienced players, only Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer.

And almost all of their midfielders play for the same club, Bayern Munich. The cohesiveness and coordination between the players in the German midfield is unquestionable, as well as the German defense, they are young players, only Antonio Rudiger is the most experienced. and I have doubts on the German squad's defensive line.
Hmm....look, I don't know, but your observation is relevant, and yes, the German team is going through a transition.
We will only have a concrete answer when the world cup actually starts.

Some players are young and may not be able to have the experience that some players have, like Neuer and Muller (quoted by you).
The pressure of participating in a world cup is totally different from participating in a national championship, champions league and others championships
The whole world will be looking at you and the world cup only happens every 4 years.
Maybe you are right in your few views but still now things are change drastically because we all now youngsters are much better prepared like we have few years back now they are doing good experiments in their games when they are having chance in many competitions which are nursery for them and these are surely giving them good lessons for having better performance in mega event like World Cup most of the player are busy in clubs, and they are having good relief as they are now going into World Cup for their country honor, and they have to perform extraordinary in front of millions fans which are watching them and have good expectations from them for winning this title.

This is golden chance for being a great player and this is not coming before four years, so you need to perform like this peoples will talk about you and your skills until next event.

Is Roma going to concede their first defeat of the season? Roma trailed 1-0 at the end of the first half. Even after conceding a goal at the beginning of the match, Roma is not trying hard to score. If they don't change their strategy in the second half and attack more, they won't win. But I think Roma can score a  goal in the second half and they will be happy with 1 point from this match. However, Roma had a chance to go to the top of the points table if they win this match. There are still 45 minutes left to play. I won't be surprised if Roma win.
Early goal is enough for Udinese to keep their momentum at top and now with this goal they are fifth in league table ahead of Juventus and inter which is giving good impression of their start of this season after having first game defeat against defending champions AC Milan even 40 minutes left in this game, and we can expect change in result as well but right now they are doing good job and have good defense which is increasing tension in Roma camp.

Napoli is again at the top for some time as tomorrow Atlanta is going to face new promoted side in their match for top spot today we have two more matches with two were drawn and in third Verona have their first win of this season which give them good place in league table and now Sampdoria is in relegation zone.

Edit: German Samardzic done second goal for Udinese mean now Roma is out of this game.

There were many positive signs about Fenerbahçe today. This score would have been even bigger. It was Joao Pedro's first time in the starting eleven and he impressed everyone by a great effort. He scored one goal and made an assist to King. I really liked Willian Arao's effort in the midfield as well. He is already proving his quality by this kind of performances. I didn't like Crespo much as he wasted many opportunities. But the general effort was very satisfying for me. Fenerbahçe needed the win after the Konyaspor loss. Jorge Jesus is doing a good job by building a team that are very effective in attacking.
Changes clearly works for Fenerbahçe in this match, and they won by 2 - 0 even most of the fans feel they lost too many opportunities but still an acceptable score for them with few changes and coming of Joa Pedro who first time in the starting eleven surely he was on target and done good job for home side with his good performance fans are also very happy with this all now midfield is also doing good which is good sign as now UEFA Cup is also coming and fans needs good performance from them in Europe as well with Jorge Jesus is surely one of the man in job for this team, and he is trying his best for having best and effective attacking team which can go through into any competition for better results against strong opponents as well.

In my country it’s typically 40 hour work week. 9 to 5. Usually after 40 hours you get paid 1.5x because it’s overtime.

Depending on the job you have. If it’s white collar you don’t do 8 hours of work each day. Maybe 2. The rest is spent talking with workers, extended lunches and playing with your phone. Other jobs like blue collar are usually very long hours and no resting.
No, it's not per country but every country has a different set of jobs and we can classify them as white or blue collar jobs as you said. Blue collar jobs are jobs that are paid per hour, that's why they can stay for longer hours in order to get the maximum pay that they want but they do have breaks too (lunch breaks and snack time).

According to my research white collar jobs includes office jobs but I think that office workers can also work 8 hours per day and it's up to them if they will do overtime to get a small increase on their salary. We may think their jobs are easy because they are indoors but actually it's also stressful. The truth is no jobs are easy.
1460  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading and financial planning. on: September 03, 2022, 05:48:22 PM

*Endeavor to set a  financial target for yourself and possible means to achieving it and also create room for adjustments just in case of obstacles but don't keep your focus away from your target.
Mind you, sometimes you may not hit your target, but not to worry, cause financial target helps you to have track knowledge of your financial growth within a framed of time.
There are two ways to this, setting a financial target will make you focus and have a good track of your financial growth, there is no doubt about that. Then, there is this imbalance and anxiety that comes when the time is up running and you haven't achieved an appreciable percent of your set target. To some, this anxiety might cause them taking unplanned risks, either by increasing stake or leverage or by other means. When this happens, it could be a real build up to perpetual loses. I prefer trading at ones pace and taking trading as a passive opportunity and not the only job.
Anxieties are negative traits which should be ignored. I know it's hard at first but practice makes perfect. Just think of positive things to be able to feel calm again. If you didn't achieve your goals on your expected time then maybe the time that you set is too early? But even if it's not early there are still a lot of factors which can affect our earning potential.

Number one would be the volatility of the price of cryptos but there is also a stable coin which we can use to be able to stay consistent. Increasing stake or leverage is risky so I don't recommend them but why not extend your deadlines instead? Life is not a race so there is no need to hurry up.
