For so.e people it could be. People like going out on top so they don't have to constantly think about the loses. It's a physiological thing that almost can't be explained. Most people also just think they can win back what they lost which is silly but happens. |

The news of Damian Lillard ending the season made me a little sad. I don't want him to be injured at all, if he has a problem, it may be difficult for him next season. When such a good player deals with serious injuries, he cannot catch up with his old performance, and his age has started to progress.
Portland Trailblazers doesn't have much of a chance to be successful this year anymore. Therefore, the decision taken may be the right one
Damian Lillard is a millionaire player who has won seven NBA All-Stars and six All-NBA Team Selections. In October 2021 Lillard was named the league's greatest player of all time. Lillard also won a gold medal on the 2020 US Olympic team in Tokyo. He has given a number of wins and became a core player on the Blazers team. By deciding to end the season, the Blazers will lose strength and this will be a big loss for the Blazers because they will not have a great player like Lillard. Maybe the Blazers have prepared another player to replace Lillard, but I'm not sure I can be as good as Lillard. Injuries can happen to anyone including professional players like Lillard but let's hope he doesn't get hurt in the slightest. Hey I'm a Dame fan but he isn't even in the top 10 players this year. He isn't antlywhere near the top of the best players of all time. He might not even be the best blazer of all time. Clyde Drexler would give him a run. But you are talking MJ, Lebron, kobe, bird, magic, wilt, so and and so on. |

I have 2 BNB, what is a good project to invest in? Something with utility, no shit coins
Older thread but I see it's quite active. If you are still looking than look no further than bitcoin itself. If you are looking for some good come up altcoins take a look into polygon/matic. They have made great progress on that project over the last year and has some promising partnerships that will let them take the next level on the next crypto run up. Either way good luck in this market, it's not easy. |

There is no doubt that Bitcoin is the King of cryptocurrencies. If we only focus on altcoins, ETH is the most successful smart contract platform that owns the largest base of fans compared to other altcoins. The current market cap of Ethereum is over $200 Billions and the this will be more likely to increase in the long term. Can ETH be considered as the King of Altcoins ? What do you think ? Please let me know.
I mean as of right now yeah but there are other promising projects and platforms that are on the verge of breaking out. One thing is for certain with altcoins: "nothing is EVER certain" lol. Seriously though yes for now eth is probably king of alts, but as we go into the next bull run who knows what happens from here. |

^ An important game for them (the Lakers) tomorrow as they go up against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who they are tied with for the last play-in tournament spot along with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers winning this game would give them a little separation and maybe take off a little of the pressure of not making the play-in tournament at least.
They really need this one here because they kind of wasted their chance when they lost to Mavericks and the Rockets last time. Looks like this one is not easy either and they really need to play this game as if it's a crucial game to proceed in the playoff series because this is not a joke anymore when they lose more games and also they will gonna lose their chance to participate in the play-in tournament if the other teams will surprisingly take their spot with some few wins away. Yeah, with few remaining games every win counts in each team who are aiming to move on to the next round. Lakers still have that chance either to move into playoff or have a chance into another play-inn and take some chances to move forward. I would like to see them winning while LeBron is still at rest. The chemistries are very important, as they needed each other's help and not just to rely on stars like LeBron and Davis. And they succeed again on their campaign to participate in the games in the post-season as they have defeated the Oklahoma City Thunders earlier without LeBron and D'Lo on the hardwood. Anthony Davis led the game and performed an impressive stats with over 70% FG while contributing 30+ points to earn the team another win. The league has gotten more and more interesting as games continues to get fewer each day. About the Dallas Mavericks, they are now on the 11th seed in the West. Their chance has gotten thinner and thinner each day as they are now on their 3rd consecutive defeat. The worst part about the Mavericks fall these last couple weeks is that the Knicks own their 1st round pick this year but it's first round protected 1-14 and now the pick is likely to land in the lottery. Knicks just can't catch a break. They own 4 first round picks this year and 3 of them won't convey because of the protections on them. |

From my understanding of wrestle mania WWE,I see it as a fixed fight,which there is an agreement of who will win the fight. Despite all these people still buy tickets to watch the fight. I don't see this as a transparent fight,but people still bet on this fight. Is it that they are ignorant of this fight fixing or they are addicted to gambling and just bet on whatever come across them. As a gambler will you bet on such fight,when you know that the fight is fixed and the outcome of the fight is not for real,or will you go ahead to bet for fun?
I think this is where betting gets a little crazy. Since these are fixed fights where the outcome is already known by some it sets an unfair advantage. I don't know how you could trust the lines on these since some people who know the outcomes can literally skew the line however they want. I guess if you were to bet I'd follow the big bets since they are likely from a source with inside info on the matches. |

I always see these posts about coins hitting a certain fiat dollar amount. The problem is that it's all dependent on bitcoin usd value. People need to stop trying to pin point a usd value for altcoins and start trying to hit sat price. If bitcoin goes up alts do too. If bitcoin goes down so do alts. The trick is the in between.

I am wondering what the fate of projects like Volt inu, Baby Doge and other meme coins would have been if Elon Musk never supported Doge coin, would Shiba inu ever made it to top 20? What would have happen to meme coins? Will there ever be any if Elon never existed?
Do ypu really have to ask this question? Buying something like baby doge should all but bankrupt anyone who buys that to begin with. They are coins built upon jokes what did you really expect to happen with these coins? It was a fad that died in 2021 get with the picture. |

Close games. This is the reason why I am always doubting about betting against the Orlando Magic. Damn, they are really strong when they are being cornered. The Magic won by 5 points against the Knicks with a frustrated Julius Randle. (again) I like the competitive spirit but he must control it. Lost my bet on the Knicks. Nets versus the Cavaliers was also a close one. The Nets wasted an almost-win game. First, they let Mitchell create a deuce and1. Then when he missed the free throw, no one box him out for the rebound, they are lucky both his shot missed but LeVert caught the loose ball and found an open Isaac Okoro to shoot the game-winner three. Sadly, the spread was not covered. Cavs won by 2, I need 3.  My only win was the Clippers, thankfully. Even without PG13, Kawhi Leonard and Westbrook stepped up their game. Bones Hyland also contributed a 16-point, 26 minutes game time. I think they should start giving him more minutes like that. I won 2 of the 3 bets I made. Last night I lost on the knick game too. As a knick fan it's tough not betting them but I've hit a couple snags lately with them being on the wrong side of the spread. Going to lay off them going forward until we get to the playoffs and see where they sit. Still looking at the games tonight will chip in, in a bit on my 3 picks for tonight. |

The west is so close right now that 8th Mavs have 36 wins and 37 losses, but 9th Pelicans and 10th Lakers and 11th Thunder has the same, and 12th Jazz has 35-37 so if they win the next game it's the same.
It's insane to think so many teams are not just close but at exactly the same games, Lakers could literally be a top 8 seed, or could be out based on just a win or a loss. Hell 6th which is out of play-in and will be in playoff for sure, is Warriors with 38 wins and 36 losses, so they are mere 2 game away from it, any team below could reach there as well, we still have time. It's close up until 4th which is Suns that have 38 wins and 34 losses, if they go on a losing streak and someone else wins, that low team could end up going up 5-6 positions all at once if they are lucky.
This has been one of the best endings to a season that I can remember. Having so many teams right up against each other is gonna be like bonus playoff basketball for the next 2 weeks. Going to be some drama shifts in who is going to the playoffs and who isn't in the next 2 weeks. |

Denver Nuggets -6 vs Washington Wizards = WIN
Golden State Warriors vs Dallas Mavericks ML = LOST
Philadelphia 76ers -3 vs Chicago Bulls = WIN
Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Lakers ML = WIN
Got lucky enough to with the games earlier as I managed to get 3/4 bets right. That Dallas was somehow unexpected because Kyrie Irving didn't play, Luka badly needed him. For the games later, here's mine. New York Knicks -3.5 vs Orlando Magic Cleveland Cavaliers -3.5 vs Brooklyn Nets Oklahoma City Thunder ML vs Los Angeles Clippers Weirdly enough I just made my 3 bets for the night and they are exactly the same as yours. I never ever pick 3 road teams but with tonight's choices. I took the spead with okc though at +4, hate taking the money line on a road dog. Think the Paul George injury is gonna hurt them bad though. We'll see. |

So who do you guys think is the best team in the NBA right now? Much like college basketball and the current tournament going on, I feel like there is a great deal of parity inside the NBA. I honestly can't say who I think has the best chance at winning it all this year, and normally it's pretty easy to at least make a couple guesses. I guess the Phoenix Suns are one of those teams, perhaps the Milwaukee Bucks are another. Then you've got the Celtics and teams like the 76'rs.
Really odd time in the NBA right now to be honest. I love it though.
The balance has tip to the East right now, as you have said, Boston took the lead, and then Giannis and Bucks overtake them after the all start break. Now the Sixers is pushing as well and Joel Embiid cemented his case for the MVP race. While on the West it's the Nuggets, but they seems to struggle in their last 10 games, Memphis? Nah, I don't think they have the guts to win with or without Ja Morant. Warriors is not the same team anymore, while Phoenix without KD can't make it to the Finals. Easy to say all those things but I still think only the top 3 teams can compete for the top in the east. Might be top heavy but the fun part of the west is you can go from 4th spot and a home game to out of the playoffs in a game or 2 lol. I've never seen such a tight race and that is gonna do teams well since they literally are all fighting like they are in the playoffs now. |

I just read that Tristan Thompson has a work out with the Lakers this week. I guess he wasn’t kidding when he was talking about getting the band back together. It’s nice to see that he didn’t let Kyrie joining Dallas stop him from trying to join LeBron for another ring chase. I’m not sure if he can still play at a championship level but I think he’d be a good pickup at the price.
As far as I know, Thompson hasn't played in the league for a year now, and his stats last season were pretty mediocre, as he averaged just 6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. In other words, I wouldn't expect the Lakers to offer him a contract after this workout, as he's unlikely to be useful for them on the court. Besides, they already have Davis and a few other big guys who play the same position as Thompson. Yeah but this is right in the Lakers playback. They always do this and offers dudes like this a contract lol. It's last second sc4ambling and hoping a prayer is answered. Even if he was still decent this won't move the needle for them. Gotta give it to them they never stop trying these reclamation projects though. |

Missed the early games just got my picks in for the day. Got 3 later games:
Miami on the road in Detroit laying -10 points. Normally don't like betting double digit road favorites but I like this one here.
Bucks -7.5 against the Raptors. Hesitent on this brook looks to be out that's a big hit. I still like the Bucks at home so I will ride them.
And last Pelicans-5.5 on the road against Rockets. The last place teams should be full tanking for Victor mode. No reason pels can't take this game on the road.
Good luck tonight everyone.
Was a Bucks. 5 away from a clean sweep last night. Tonight its 3 home teams 2 favorites and 1 dog. Knicks -8.5 home against the wolves. Lots of injuries over on the wolves side. Knicks should roll Houston +11 against Warriors in Houston. Warriors stink on the road. Let's see if Houston can challenge here. Memphis -5 against the mavs. Mavs on the road don't impress me against a feisty Memphis team. Gimme Memphis here. Good luck tonight everyone. |

Grizzlies destroyed them last night. The best player for Warriors was Kuminga, that tells us something's wrong. I don't think Warriors can go far enough even if they get a spot in play-off. "Particularly on that game", I agree with you that there's something really wrong but if that will be the focal point to determine how the Golden State Warriors will behave in the playoffs, I think that's not appropriate. What I stated previously, is "in general". Of course, things might changes as there are teams that really shown improvement this season. Not a fan of the Warriors though and I don't really care where they will end up this year, but still, it's not that we can't expect them in an off-night mode always, especially in a series game. Well then, wait for the playoffs and see how far they will go this time. They are truly a wildcard. They can't get their act together on the road but are fine in front of theor home court. Their experience will help and tight rotations means starting 5 gets a lot more run together in the playoffs. So we'll see. Until then I'm betting against them every road game lol |

If you have a smaller stack than the answer should always be bitcoin. I'm not saying to stay clear of altcoins but you want to build up a good portfolio of bitcoin before you start venturing off. A small percentage of your overall portfolio can be aimed at alts but don't be silly like a lot of people and put all your money into alts. Once you get enough bitcoin I'd start looking at polygon/matic. Lots of good things going on with that platform.

By definition, tokenomics is the study of parameters that determine characteristics of cryptocurrencies (cryptos) or cryptographic tokens to create economic value. We have witnessed many successful altcoins over the years such as ETH. To make it simple, tokenomics are generalized and implemented in different altcoins as an economic model. What do these successful economic models have in common ? Does this play a vital role in any success proven altcoins ? Please let me know your thoughts. By the way, I am with the FireDAO team, in charge of the global community. Please contact me if you have any questions or interest. Thanks.
To me it's all smoke amd mirrors. The project itself needs to be viable first and foremost. I mean it comes into play but all these projects that inject these gimmicks is just a cover up for what they aren't really supposed to be doing. If something seems to fancy its a dead giveaway to stay clear. Limiting or expanding max supply, burn triggers, etc are meaningless. |
