The Celtics are in the NBA finals after 12 years. Wonderful. Good Job Celtics and Good luck in the finals. Such a slow start to the season and outa no where they became number two seed, and easily had the hardest playoff schedule. All respects to them. I love all the players in both the Celtics and Warriors but I'm rooting for the Celtics because I want to see the two Jays get their ring.
Well, the crowd is with the Warriors but it's good to see that there are also Celtics fans. But just as said, it won't be that easy for the Celtics but still, the game hasn't started yet.
And most of us fans are liking to talk about the teams that we're in favor of and what we like to win. In the end of it, may the best team win and good luck to both.

People see the Celtics are a good team for their defense, while the Warriors are good on their defense. Let's see which team will win, but I'm pretty sure that the NBA Finals is not going to be a boring series, adjustments will be seen, and may the smartest team wins the Finals.

Curry or Tatum, one of them will probably be winning the Finals MVP already.

They are the favorites but there's no assurance that they will win as it already happened in the past, if you still remember when Iggy on the Finals MVP because of his great defensive job on Lebron, IIRC, it was Curry who was the favorite to win the Finals MVP from their team, but it didn't happen.

It was surprising that Iggy takes that award away from Steph even we all see how great Steph was from that series.

But It's Iggy who shines and really impacted the entire games. We don't know if what will happen this time as the series
not even stared, Boston will also try to bring everything here.

Tatum is also a good contender for that award. Who knows how they will challenge the Warriors, It's a matter of
well the entire squad will play and blend together.

Polygon was hit very hard, I invested when the price was over $2.5 at the beginning of the year but now it's only about $0.69 or a drop of more than 75%, of course this is sad and makes me prefer to hold because if I sell now of course I will lose.
you enter at a very high price. but don't worry, Matic is a coin with a very large community and continues to grow with the advantages and advantages of the Polygon network development making users and also the reminder of the Matic coin continue to increase. regarding the current price which has fallen sharply it is a very natural thing where the market is in a downward trend, Bitcoin and almost all Altcoins are experiencing the same thing.
but I believe with a large community and the development of the Polygon network it is very possible for Koin Matic to be able to recover.
I also keep some Matic coins, I forgot about them and want to keep them longer, in the next few years I believe Matic coins will be able to compete with top coins like Ltc or Bnb.

Yep, Matic is still good in terms of investment asset, with moving development, we will expect that after this

bearish momentum, the market will start showing good bounce and this coin will also receive good support from investors who
are aiming to earn from this industry.

Good team attracts support and with continuous development, it won't be hard for the team to bring more people to bring
money for their investment in this project.

What's your ultimate choice? Or both?  Smiley
I can't choose because I use both and I think they both have their advantages in different ways. Etheruem excels in network quality where the projects published on their network are almost all successful in conducting public sales. While BNB excels in fast and very cheap transactions, although the drawback is that because of the cheapness of transactions, making tokens here is very easy to open up opportunities for scammers to appear here.

Good point and the point here is on how investors, traders and developers understand both risk and advantages.

I go with the two in terms of investment and choose accordingly if I need the usages, as long as you have the basic
Knowledge of using it and you are willing to take your steps using the chain. Either you are the developer or
an end user who believe that your needed will be addressed.

Great game 7 between the Celtics and Heat. I was a little worried at the end there but the Celtics came through. A great game by Jimmy Butler, but he was one shot away from being a hero at the end when he missed that three. Still, the Heat had a great season they can be proud of. Now we’re set for the Finals between the Warriors and the Celtics.

I wonder if he can sleep properly after missing that game-winning/game losing shot. Jimmy Butler indeed have a great season despite many injury concerns before. Too bad that he doesn't have a reliable teammate to support him, especially on defense. PJ Tucker becomes less effective in there game against Boston which what Heat need the most to stop Boston. They don't even have an offensive rebound potential since Bam is already tired on making points which causes the Heat to lack defense in the second half.

I really hate Heat whenever they keep insisting to do a 3point shot despite they don't have a good 3pt FG percentage on the match. There line-up too is so small which easy for Boston to penetrate. Lowry Foul's defense play is just good that's why it saves them many times. Cheesy



It will be hard at first, but he needs to move forward. No one should blame him as he also has that mindset very eager to win.

It's just so happen that the shot didn't go through but the intention is the same. Just luck did not back him up
from that last shot, after this game, I still commend the whole Miami squad.

They bring everything out even if they risk the health conditions of most of their stars from last game 6 till this last game.
Congrats to Boston fans finally Tatum make his way to the NBA finals.

When you are a newbie then the best thing is to invest in top coins like ethereum or Solana or something else, if you want to try investing in new projects then make sure the ones that are already on the market because many projects fail and it is difficult to get a refund when the softcap target cannot be achieved.
I'm not sure if the OP can read everyone's advice, but I'm basically like some people in terms of investing in preprocessing skills and using them to your advantage. money profit. Since the time of this article, the market has not been very good and most cryptocurrencies have dropped in price so far. For me personally, this is a pretty good period for me to buy more BTC or an altcoin that I want to buy. While studying, we all believe that, over time, everything will increase, but if you can't control your own finances and treat this market as a place that offers regular opportunities, it is very likely that you will lose money. Losses always appear, and we also know many people are stuck in this market.

Precisely, if you are into quick profits, the chance of losing is high with the volatile nature of this market.

But if you are more into long-term investment, the chance or opportunities are good while the market is still in bearish condition
though we don't know how deep it can go but the chance of bouncing back and gives you benefit is along the way, if you
have Bitcoin or other solid projects that have further development.
1646  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Luna just became the new Shiba Inu on: May 29, 2022, 04:09:36 PM
I see that the LUNA team is trying their best for the future of LUNA. And yes of course in the last few days I saw LUNA going to the moon but I think it will be very difficult for LUNA to break the barrier to $1 or $10 because we all know LUNA holders of course are waiting to take profit and I think it will cause quite a sell big .
LUNA is slowly dying and even if there are a bunch of speculators trying to still make some money out of the coin we can see that the volume is slowly subsiding, at some point the volume will be so low that this will scare even those speculators and the price will finally reach the level that LUNA should always have which is zero, I am really sorry for those that invested a massive amount of money on LUNA but I hope they learn their lesson and understand that an altcoin can always make those kind of dumps regardless of how popular it could be.

That's probably may happen as even those who are riding and playing with this coin will fear risking their money,

the next thing that may happen is completely lose everything and developers will just go by the wind
and embrace the fate of this asset.

It's better to invest if you know the concepts just like how most investors who still holding and riding with
Shiba, they are still enjoying even the value is falling. There are still people who keep shorting this coin.
1647  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Its time to buy - end of bear market incoming on: May 29, 2022, 10:13:08 AM

When trying to buy the dip it is important to remember that for a great deal of the coins in the market this is not a drop and instead it is an event from which they are never going to recover, so they will be eventually replaced by new coins that are released in the future, so when buying the dip it is not only important to look at the price of the coin it is also important to look at its fundamentals, if they are strong then it is fine to buy now but if they are weak then it is better to avoid that coin.
Indeed. It wasn't just the price we need to look at upon investing, it is also important to know their potential as our fundamental basis when choosing as this likely be the factor to say that we can make ROI out from them. That is why we consider buying among the top listed coins in the market as they are worth to invest, not on the bottom list.

We can just see positive results and expect profit if we invest in potential coins. Keeping responsible out of it is very important.
Fortunately for us we have been in this market long enough to know this information, but there are many newbies that simply look at the price of one of the coins they wanted to get months ago and now that they see the price is low they think of this as a golden opportunity they cannot let go, however we know the truth, a great deal of the altcoins that experimented a huge drop are never going to recover, and this means that we need to be incredibly cautious when buying the dip when the coins in which we are interested are not within the top 10.

We do have that kind of information and yes, those who bought months ago will think that this dump

is another opportunity to add more from what they already hold, but like what you have said, not all will have that same
market movement, and most of the time, the project who suffer big losses during the dump are not capable of
regain trust from old holders, it soon will be forever be forgotten.
1648  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Everything stop on: May 29, 2022, 09:03:15 AM
Todays current situation for Luna all my works just stop and cant belive whats going on with this scenario!!  Lost too much in my life savings!! Now thinking about invest on btc at least there is no chance like 98% dump at least stable coin looking to more risky!!
I think that your life savings should not be left in an altcoin, your life savings should always be left in stocks or safe coins, like gold, BTC can be a safe haven, but in the long term you should see BTC as the coin that can reach $100k and if you have your life savings in BTC when you get there you will have even more profits then it's not bad what happened ´, but you must learn that you don't have to leave everything in one place. I recommend diversification, such as real estate, gold, bitcoin and everything that can give you security and trust.


Segregating your investment is one of the best thing a trader should do when starting to find ways to earn.

Putting your savings to only one basket/investment always has a big risk, especially if you are not sure about
how things will take place.

There are many cases where investors losses their hard earned money after mistakenly place it with the wrong
investment. Make sure you are ready and willing to take full responsibility for whatever happens with your money.
1649  Economy / Economics / Re: What happens if BTC's price falls to $8,000? on: May 29, 2022, 05:41:48 AM
A big panic from people Grin
That may happen to them, especially for small and medium investors who already bought bitcoin at a high price and in the market, there will be a panic sell from them.
But the big investor will be happy to buy bitcoin at that price because the price is lower and they might not see that in the next year.
But after the price reaches the lowest price, sooner or later, the price will bounce and start the rally.
Probably that's how it goes for all those newbies and those who never realize that this bear market brings a good opportunity to invest. Well, if there is a huge price fall back, then i would be spending a big amount to buy a lot of bitcoin to satisfy myself with the profits it will offer to me in the near future. I'm not going to panic as i have come to realize that if you chose to be a long-term hodler, free yourself from doubts and never be bothered by the crypto prices ups and downs. That makes me live in peace.
If they still don't invest in crypto by the time the bear market arrives, that's up to them and they shouldn't blame anyone if the price of the crypto market suddenly spikes and they miss out on taking profits.
Only people who are conscientious and concerned with market conditions will be able to make good decisions, while others only see market prices fluctuate without taking any decisions.
You've done the right thing by buying lots of bitcoins when the price is down but I remind you only to invest what you can afford.
We really shouldn't panic about whatever is happening with the market because that way, we can see if we have a chance to use the moment for us or if we still need to wait for a while.

We should all understand that even experienced traders suffer from losses, the volatility can't give any assurance.

Long term is always good for people who can move forward even it takes years before the market
change its directions, and fr sure not all can handle that, there are still people who will be shaken and
will decide to cut0loss and try to reenter but missed the quick pump. Carefully analyze before making
any decision while investing in this market.
1650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 29, 2022, 04:46:18 AM
They are still the underdog though in game 7 at their home court. But I will still go with the Over again at 197.5 (opening line).

Will surely take that too. As long as their threes keep sinking in, we will hit that number earlier or when a free throw battle happens at the last minutes of the game.
Looks like the other key for the Miami Heat to win Game 7 is to put Robert Williams in foul trouble. The faster the better to bring Butler's confidence in attacking the paint. Because at their last two-loss games he was always hesitating with the shot blocker in his way. Or the other strategy is to pull him out as far as possible to create some space.

If they can't put Williams into trouble, it's best also to make it harder for Tatum to score the basket, a bad game

of Tatum can also bring them losing a game. I'm not sure what strategy both coaches will have in this upcoming do-or-die game.
I'm more interested in how they will execute the plays.

Both have defensive and offensive key players, they just need to maximize all of them to push the win and play in the NBA
finals.
1651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: May 29, 2022, 03:18:49 AM
And I think Vargas is a strong opponent, so we are going to see Magsayo being tested, if he will respond with a big win, then for sure people will believe that he deserves to be a champion and he has a bright future ahead of him. My prediction is, Magsayo by KO if he wins.

Yes, Vargas' achievement is really a big deal, 35 wins with no defeat yet. Magsayo surely got a good challenger.

However, Vargas resides for a long period in the BantamWeight division while the other hand, Magsayo is already an experienced fighter at the FeatherWeight. There might be a big change in the environment that Vargas might experience entering a much upper-weight class and facing the champion.

That's why maybe others looked at Vargas as a threat to Magsayo because of that 35-0 record and considered the former as an experienced boxer compare to Magsayo. That might be true but since Magsayo is used to fighting at Featherweight, that's already a big advantage for him against Vargas.


I see your point and I also agree that Magsayo will be much more comfortable even the challenger does have that outstanding record.

If a repeat happened, we might see the same outcome from the last fought by Alvarez and Bivol,
both fighters are eager to win and the outcome turn in favor of Bivol who fights on his own division.

Not saying that it might be the same outcome, but the chance is also good for Magsayo
just continue to prepare his condition and be ready to throw solid combinations to win this fight.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 29, 2022, 02:31:17 AM
Heat had an amazing game 6 and even though it was a close game, they were managed to get the big win. But the injuries their players having are a big question for the game 7. Tyler Herro will probably miss game 7. And Kyle Lowry (hamstring), Max Strus (hamstring) and P.J. Tucker (knee) are also questionable. Only for the sake of the series and the quality of basketball, I wish Heat will have a full roster as much as possible. This changes things in my opinion. If both teams would be healthy, I would say Heat is the probable winner but with these injuries, they need another miracle performances from Butler and someone else.

And maybe that is their last stand against Boston in game 6. However, it's not over yet, that's what they said of the Heat, that Celtics are going to end the series. But they have survived and now are going to play at their court with confidence even though they are ridden with injuries. And again, players like Butler are going to try and win, against all expectations. So this could be another close one and it's hard to predict who is going to win but the Celtics again are the favorite.

Hard to predict do or die game between these 2 eastern final contenders, players are really doing all the best

that they can to win each game, we can't really tell who's going to move forward for the final appearance
and it's great to see both teams are doing their best.

Another adjustment will be expected for both sides. The core players are the first line to rely on winning this
series, experienced and eagerness will reward them the win!

It's heartbreaking to hear that lots of investors who invested with Luna have lost a lot but that's how crypto works. That's the risk of crypto investment and we honestly couldn't predict the future price of each altcoin. We're in a bearish market situation and even top coin prices fall so we got no choice but to deal with it. We only have to be mindful and careful in investing with coins despite their low price because not all of them could still recover.

Never you give up in crypto investment based on the losses you had experienced from your investment than to try and make some research about some profitable coins that can help you to recover your income. I think, many people will use this opportunity to buy coins because we are still in bearish season where people hold to avoid losses in the future. Don't sell your coins now because the price is still low for you to make a huge amount of profits than to hold and watch for the price to increase higher before you can sell to be part of those that will be happy before the end of this year 2022.


It's hard to condition others' mindset in regard to how they can continue to hold. There are many investors now

who loses a lot of portions of their fiat value investment, they need to find the way to continue holding or to find more courage
to keep buying and adding to their wallet, in case the value rises back, the amount of profits will be much sweeter for people who
can control any kind of emotions that they have inside.
1654  Economy / Economics / Re: What happens if BTC's price falls to $8,000? on: May 27, 2022, 03:27:36 PM
Looking at the 4-year cycle that Bitcoin went through ever since it was first mined in 2009, I would say that it is quite possible for BTC to lose much of its exchange rate after the peak of 2021. Look at the history. We had the peak ($1260) in 2013 and then by 2015 it lost almost 85% of it's value to trade at around $200 per coin. Then again another peak was achieved in 2017, when the exchange rate hit $20,000 per coin. Within another 1-2 years, the exchange rate once again nosedived by 85%, and by 2019 Bitcoin was trading at $3,000 per coin.

Will the same happen this time? The peak for 2021 was $67,000 per coin. A 85% reduction would mean a level of $10,000 per coin.


We can't conclude the possibilities, the chance still there if more holders will follow the trend and continue selling

what they are holding, the supply and demand influence the most, without strong holders and traders who can take the full
risk of buying and holding bitcoin.

The momentum to switch back from this current bearish to bullish might take more time and the value to fall according to how
you show previous histories, the chance is really possible to happen.

Great! Most of us won our bets. Even the Over 213.5 was too low for the total end score.
That's it for our Western Conference and they will be resting until June 2. Wow! That's a long time to prepare for whoever they will be up against.
Which team do you think it is? I may not give up on Miami Heat just yet. This series is where I want to witness a Game 7 since both are adjusting pretty well after a loss.
2/2 Cheer to everyone.


It will be a great challenge for both teams. Miami needs a win to push this series to a do-or-die game.

while with the Boston, they need to be finish this series at home or else it will be a momentum changer once Miami managed
to win and go back home with a much more confident system.

We can't conclude yet, Miami will lean again to Butler and Bam while Boston will need both Tatum and Brown to play big
both team's stars need to step up in boosting the whole squad.
1656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 27, 2022, 01:21:50 PM
There's huge chances that Boston will win this seeing how Miami perform in their past games but I'm still not closing doors about possibilities that Heat will do comeback knowing if Butler and Bam perform well this will be dangerous for Celtics.

But I'm more into GSW and Celtics into finals because it will be fun watching Curry and Thompson competing with Tatum and Brown.
Agree to that.
They are having a hard time finding their offense in Game 5. 1st half was a good run and they ended it with a lead but the 2nd half is a big shift to the Celtics team. What could've happened in the locker room that made them change the way they play their game? Their defense got better and their offense was all in high accuracy. It must be the showers.  Cheesy
But that event tells Miami also gave them a good banging at the 1st half but could not convert it to a win. In short, a chance to win even at the TD Garden.

A chance that they shouldn't waste. Winning at home in front of your home crowd is something that every team wanted.

If the Boston will continue to keep rotating and finding the open man to make a shot,
it will be hard for Miami to answer back. The injuries really affecting how Miami is currently playing.
They need to more firepower if they want to survive and push this series in to game 7.

Same question here. We have the same plan to invest but I can't decide that easy because the price if Bitcoin and Altcoins always fluctuate and doesn't know when ia the lowest price when i can buy and hold it to gaint some profits.

If you trace when he asks about this question, you will realize that whoever told him not to invest foresee

the possibilities that more dump will take place, might be an experienced trader or really have a deeper understanding of
how the market works and how to anticipate the next potential market scenarios.

Never to decide if you don't have any idea, no one can answer that question accurately, you need to work on your own research

The kind of cycle is not new to this market, if we seen a bear momentum and we do believe that the market

You wont really be calling it a market if there would be no corrections or bearish moment which is what we are experiencing as of this moment where once you do step your foot into this market
then you should really make yourself get used into these movements so that you wont really be freaking out whenever there's some declines or correction something like this.
Dont get surprised but instead it would be wise if you do make out such steps or decisions which would really giving out chance for you to make profits once the market tends
to recover but of course no one knows on when it would happen.

Correct, if you understand how things works and you can embrace the kind of sways,

you can continue to buy and wait till the market bounce back and brings you a decent amount of profits, there's no wrong entry but more on how you understand and how ready you are to take the risk, keep mind that the market always have rise and fall. Knowing how to play will give you that great opportunities to take advantage and continue working around this industry.
1659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causing victim to scam his family on: May 26, 2022, 01:47:25 PM
On a second thought the gambler was able to beat his gambling addiction but, he failed at foregoing his addiction for greed. The company must have sent same promotional mail to every other member of the Casino. The gambler out of greed exhausted the $50 offer and yet was not satisfied by it. However, the casino tricked him using a $50 bait to lure him back into the gambling world knowing pretty well that he is greedy.

I think he was not completely able to beat his addiction as we saw that it lasted until he had an offer in his email to play for free a little amount as a gift from the casino website.If he was truly convinced to leave gambling once and for all he should have also unsubscribed from all the casinos and their marketing emails.When I see my email it is full of such offers (not free money) but marketing emails from the casinos I play the most at.If I want to quit gambling for good,I unsubscribe from all these marketing emails from the gambling companies.

Good point, if he is really convinced that he should quit completely, he should also unsubscribe from all the channels that the

casino can access and contact him. The problem in his case is that he's not completely out and
after showing his interest that addiction being triggered again.

If someone is trying to prevent going back from these vices, he shouldn't look back on anything
it can avoid scamming his family if he completely quits away.

I'm a fan of Heat, but I would agree that both Butler and Lowry performed very poorly (because of the injuries), and that's why they are now behind the series and they give Boston a lot of chance to steal this series and go to the finals. I'm conceding that with the way they show in their homecourt and lost this big, it might be over for them mentally.

The NBA has to do something about its one day to travel in between games. I mean I can only imagine how fagged out both teams would have been. There's so many injuries and little time to rest and recover from them. Personally, I have been watching Kyle Lowry all through this season and what I can say is that aside from his injuries it seems he his going through a lot. He's been off  for a large part of the season.

It's the wear and tear of his body and it's putting a toll on him right now. In the beginning of the season he really performed about expectations but entering the playoffs, it goes down and then he got injured. Not sure what you mean by going to a lot, but at 36 and wanted to play high level, maybe it's giving up by the hard grind of 82 regular seasons game and then the playoff game.

No offense to Lowry, but he needs to step up. Without Herro, another offensive star should fill his shoe.

I was expecting Lowry to come up and take that responsibility, though I also see your point. He's no longer
