Im holding. Not just holding, but also buying more bitcoin. People selling at dips and fomo buying at highest price all fools. Everytime it goes down everyone gets worried its going to zero. So they dont buy when they should be buying.  I dont think bitcoin will ever go to zero. Some altcoins future got erased with this tho.
It is nice to see that there are some people that get it, it is true the price of bitcoin can go down from time to time but if we look at the charts we see that on average the price of bitcoin only does one thing and that is to go up, so to buy it when its price is at the low side is without a doubt a good choice, now the price may get even lower than the current levels but for someone that is determined to hold their coins for the long term such a thing should not matter at all.
It is high time we advise ourselves to look away from the Bitcoin price for a while to allow it to recover, a lot of investors are obsessed with the Bitcoin price chart and this is sliding them into a gradual depressing state.

We must learn to take the market as part of the movement but have never promised anyone that the journey will be only an uptrend one downtrend movement is also part of the market.

It will lessen the stress that you can suffer during the fall, dumped is unavoidable during the bearish

market, there are weak holders who can't take the deceased when looking inside their portfolio,
those kinds of investors are very possible to suffer in losing a huge amount of money.

If you are not ready to take the risk, it's best to observe and try to make your entry whenever you are comfortable
to what things that may happen after you place your entry.

I think now is the right time for beginners to start investing with crypto, because most crypto is currently experiencing a very deep decline, but you should not buy new tokens or coins because it has a very high risk, it's best to buy a coin that has a capitalization and strong fundamentals such as ethereum and binance, these two coins have a great opportunity to be able to grow higher in the future of course it will give you big profits.
This is the most important thing, newbies should be getting in right now and not when it is hyped. I get that there are some people who are getting in because the price is getting higher and newbies see it on the news about how people are making so much money and that is why they get in.

But, what you are not seeing is that people who made a ton of money during the hyped period are the people who invested during these type of days. You need to make a ton of investment as you can (if you can afford) when it is bear and bottomed, so that you would make a ton of profit when it goes up a lot. That would be great for many people if they invested right now and wait until after halving.
one's weakness is envious of seeing people have a lot of money by earning casually, but not seeing the process of things being repetitive. beginners are good to enter the material knowledge stage about crypto at this time not to start investing just yet because we suggest bear season is happening. start with the basic price dip position

Start when you are ready if you already understand both the risk and the potentials that you might gain from this market,

the business is good when you know how to deal with every aspect that might affect your investment,
you should be open to any changes that might happen and not to conclude right away without doing your
good research regarding to every single market movement.

I will also go with the Dallas this game, I think the Warriors might relax in this game and might want to finish Dallas in their home court game 5.
Same here, I expect Dallas to come out swinging and dish out their all here since it'll be a huge question mark to the team if they don't get at least one win while the other teams (Nuggets and Grizzlies) got at least one home win. I also want to include the under as I think the pace will continue to slow down similar to the last game but i'm more confident on Dallas to win.



I think the opposite. I think Dallas knows they’re finished and probably subconsciously want this series to be over. I’m not expecting much out of them tonight and I think the Warriors are incentivized to win and get on to the next round. The odds giving Dallas a good shot at winning seem like an opportunity for a nice win. I currently don’t have any money on this game, but if I was betting I’d be betting Warriors without hesitation.

Looking at the first 8 minutes of this game so far, Dallas Mavericks actually look really good and they are playing with good pace, Kleber is finally knocking down some shots, 2/2 from 3 pt line, in just the first quarter.

Dallas could win this, they've got nothing to lose, do they ? The series is likely over but 1 win at home wouldn't be so bad.

And they did with the win. Dallas support gives them the win today, though Warriors still try to snatch

this game and end the series with a sweep. Dallas managed to protect that huge lead from the first half, things that they needed
to work more, allowing Warriors to regain their momentum when the clock is already nearing to an end will motivate them to keep
Doing the best thing that they can do. Congrats to all the Dallas backers sweet win!

-snip- but if you're addicted to gambling then you should really go to therapy to help yourself.
Not every addict realizes they are addicted to gambling, some addicts think it is normal. If you are not aware that you are addicted, how can you go to a therapist or a health expert? The addict needs help, his close people need to remind them that he is already addicted to the gambling activity. Sadly, not all close people want to remind this or give help, some may not really care. So, this problem isn't as simple as you think, it is complicated, dude.


Addicts never admits that they are addicted to gambling. They see it as general thing because not only them are betting, but people are also betting. Gambling is really bad for some people who can't control it, rather the more advise they get, the more they play gambling. Some people have full hope there as their means of getting their first million. Gambling is everywhere in the world presently and the number of people addicted are increasing in numbers steadily.

Most, if not all, addicted to gambling do admit that they are already engaged too much, they will continue to deny that

There's already a problem with them. After losing a lot of money, they will try every resource
that they can get in order to continue these vices.

The bad side of having no control of your emotions can lead you to do things that are behind imaginable,
just like how the person with OP's story, scamming his own family because of eagerness to continue gambling.
1665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 25, 2022, 03:16:16 PM

Steve Kerr almost calls it a game because of 99-70 behind entering the 4th Quarter. But his bench squad managed to cut it by 8 points haha.

I don't know if Kerr will put back his main starters lol. The Warriors outscored the Mavericks by 32-13 with 3 minutes left in the final quarter.

What a rally from the Warriors bench lol. This is the problem of the Mavericks since the beginning of this series. I'm expecting lots of criticism later after the game even if the Mavericks will win this game.

EDIT: 119-109 Mavericks
Mavericks pulled off 1 win, I think the series ends in game 5. GSW will close it out at home. Luka is a good player, but he is a ball hog and needs a couple more years to mature.
And better roleplayers. I am not saying they are bad but it lacks something. They won against Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns but why does it look like they are mismatch for the Warriors in such a big gap. I think it's the winning material that they are missing.
I'd keep Brunson and Dinwiddie for these guys best describes a wingman of Luka whenever he needs help. But for their forwards and centers, I may only keep Powell.
I wish this won't be like what happened to Dirk when he is near retirement (33) before he claimed the victory of a Finals. It may be sweet but more championships while being young is sweeter.

Mavs needs more players who can help Luka, Brunson and Dinwiddie are not consistent in terms of lift that Luka needs.

Another star or a great set of role players who can bring more help in both ways.
look how the Warriors are playing right now, whoever coach Kerr is bringing inside
the player is making sure that he will add something that will be felt by the team,
they are all dedicated according to the role the coach calls them to help.
1666  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where should I invest money? on: May 25, 2022, 02:26:57 PM
invest in a reputable coin like bitcoin or Ethereum. these have been for a while and have proven themselves. before you invest in that coin, do due diligence to the finding out what the project is all about.

Reputable assets like Bitcoin and ETH have a long history of bouncing back, even the market right now is not good there's chance

that it will bounce back and make a good rally, if you know how to control and
you can deal with volatility, you have good chance to earn from this market.

Quote
sometimes we can be carried away by the return of the investment that we don't make proper research before going into an investment. there is some good project out there.

There are other good projects but you need to do your DYOR and keep learning how to play with this kind of market.
1667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 24, 2022, 02:47:50 PM
Well the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics series certainly just got very interesting. I was shocked to see how poorly the Heat starters played. Also have to wonder if Jimmy Butler will play fully healthy at all during the rest of this playoffs. I have to think he wasn’t feeling at his best last night.  Just insane him, Lowry and two other starters all being held under 10 points.
That was a big bounce back by the Celtics, they clearly dominated the game from the start until the end. Actually, Heat only during the garbage time but it's not vital anymore as it's very clear that Celtics already took the win, so the series now is 2-2, good luck to the next 3 games.

Indeed, the bounce back really shows how Boston eagerness not to allow Miami to take a 2 game lead from this series.

Tatum's adjustment gives them that huge edge to win the game at home. The series is now going
to the best of 3, Miami needs to make a good adjustment moving back at home.

They need to protect that home court advantage defense and chemistries in moving the ball
to execute proper offense.
1668  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How good is staking coins? on: May 23, 2022, 02:58:23 PM
Staking is just put your money on certain thing to hope to get interest and forget it for next few years. If you are looking for "big" income with staking coins then it's a misleading idea and not for that type of benefit. But, just for some side income that you don't even bother to check it time by time then it would be a great idea to stake some of dogecoins of yours.

I agree that staking won't give us a big return unlike when we invest in altcoin and get 2x ROI in a few months but at least we can keep our portfolio stable when a bear market happens so you will be ready to buy another dip with your capital + profit from staking. Also staking does not require a lot of effort to do just keep in mind that any kind of investment will have a risk.
Yep, that's pretty much it. When the bear market hits just like we have currently experienced these days. I do think that staking is good to keep our portfolio and make another step once the market is recover in the future. Just make sure to spare the coins for trading just in case you want to and store the rest for staking for some passive income of your coins.

You need to have a good plan when taking your investment, staking while the market still bearish may give

you good compensation once the bull starts to bounce back. You are not just gaining from the staking rewards but the value
of your assets also increase, a matter of how well you are in sorting the right assets to hold for your staking and how long
you are willing to patiently hold to earn decent to huge amount of benefits.
1669  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When is ever the right time. on: May 23, 2022, 07:57:10 AM
Instead of buying at top and selling at bottom, follow the pro traders and apply their suggestions as well unless your experience lets you to do so. The best advice is waiting for recovery phase and cut the losses as much as possible. No one can predict exact top or bottom points in bear market cycle, better trade based on your experience.

A good advantage is when you trade the way you understand the market and not just blindly follow the trend,

Most newbies suffer from big losses due to lack of idea from how the market move and how to adjust when the market is moving crazy,
Both bull and bear always have the best barrier to buy and sell. It's always good to understand the business first before you follow the flows. You can place your position in each market availability.
1670  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: newbie invest on: May 23, 2022, 05:47:15 AM
There are a lot of new investors among those who have lost a lot of money at the moment. I always say those who are new will always look at the market and then you always I say those who are new will always look at the market.Otherwise, all of us today have had to fall into a lot of high frustration. For this situation, I say it is better not to invest anew.
I hope you are not talking about "LUNA".
Indeed, currently the crypto market is bearish and maybe most investors are losing their money but that doesn't mean we have to stop investing. precisely in a bearish situation like now is the best time to invest because you can get the crypto you want at a much cheaper price. I saw recently the price of bitcoin and and most of the altcoins went up quite dramatically and maybe this price increase is a sign that the market will recover soon.

Everyone is crazy about LUNA, what happened to LUNA is in the real possibilities to which any crypto is exposed, if we refer to LUNA or any cryptocurrency, the possibility that it will crash or disappear is very possible, but when we talk about BTC, which is the King currency, it is something else, investing in BTC is the only crypto that has to do with safety, some do not think it is safe, but some people are buying a lot of BTC and gold because they fear that a great global crash will develop in the world.


I follow you with that, in any events alts can be exposed and be abandoned by the developing team behind.

Resulting in a heavy dump that will let all the investors to lose their money, it's really possible, and it's not new to this market
but if we talk about Bitcoin, which already proves itself from all those massive dumps that took place, the chance of the value
to rise back is the time that most believers are waiting. They understand that with enough patience, they will take a big cut
and earn a decent amount of profits.
1671  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Everything stop on: May 23, 2022, 05:00:50 AM
Luna was crashed the market by his part.No coin had reduced 98% in the short period.So Luna was became a scam token for now.SOE people thing,it’s better to get inverse to earn of 100%.But my question is why to inverse on the scam coin.When the percentage of the coin was reduced to 99%.You think,it will increase back to 99%.Not a possible one.
something strange when luna was really strong and considered a potential coin in the current market correction conditions, the price dropped quite a lot to reach 100% more in a fairly short time, many people made purchases when this coin was actually discussed, then in the next day people were very hit with the investment made in luna, in the future we will see people's complaints about this investment, how terrible is an investment that is run based on hype?
The truth is that I would not invest in a currency that is completely down, it is a lie that buying right now will make it rise because in the same way the probability that this currency will be replaced is very low, if it has already lost 98% of its value, it is very difficult for recover, those who sold all the MOON they had are not going to buy again, because those who buy is fresh meat to continue selling those who want to recover something, the crash was impressive, but I would not trust it to rise again, what What if I know what will go up is BTC there if you have to buy and invest.


With a kind of tremendous fall, it will be very difficult for this asset to regain the trust of those early investors.

People who enjoy the pump before already move on and already diverse their money to another project, it will be hard for them
to go back and take the big risk of investing back.

Some may have that mentality, but they will be playing with pump and dump trades, not really an investment but only trying to
ride on the train and make an exit as early as they can.
1672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds on: May 23, 2022, 04:45:36 AM
One thing with uncontrolled gambling quest is that it won't stop giving hopes of recovering losses until the last dime is lost. This is not just about gambling an amount you can afford to lose but more on self control to know when to stop. The debt has to paid which ever way.
That will be the matter at most times for all of us gamblers, we think of recovery every time we're losing and that's going to give us a result that is hard to accept.
Self control is going with the action that we have in every situation that we face and sometimes those suggestions are hard to follow because we're reacting normally as we face those situations that we don't like.

The bad side of this is when you experienced some win, you will think that you are now on a winning streak,

instead of stopping after you recover, you'll think that you are going to win big, or you wanted to try more hoping that luck
will continue to show up and let you win your bets.

You will realize that you made that wrong decision once everything already loses and you don't have any penny to continue
you betting.
1673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 23, 2022, 04:14:53 AM
Too much-wasted possessions from Mavericks and hesitations got them good this time + I haven't seen anything like when you cross over you are the one who fell. Damn! Brunson was having the rubbish play of his life due to his dribbling skill tonight and you also have Reggie Bullock who was supposed to be one of the scorers in this series but he is shooting 0% and scored nothing in this game. They are destined to lose this game and it might be a sweep against them in their next game plus the posterize against Luka by Wiggins was the time they realized that they are against a championship team.

https://www.facebook.com/the.buzz.nba/posts/5287363208037746

You can watch it here.

That successful contest really gives Wiggins more confidence that the whole team is on his back.

Posterizing Luka send a message that Warriors are not like Phoenix. They are here for business and they have that capability to
sweep their opponent.

They already did that if I remember it right way back against Blazers, not sure though if that's a conference finals or a semi
Finals from the west side. Great win for the Dub fans!
1674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 22, 2022, 05:47:06 PM
It was indeed a great game. Unbelievable. I thought the Heat are losing after that wild Celtics rally with a very very loud Boston crowd. In the end Miami Heat won without their main guy. I think Erik Spoelstra is one of the best if not the best coach at the moment. Looking at his line up compared to other teams. And he managed to top the East. And thru the years, Miami Heat is always in the playoffs contending with star-studded teams. 
His championship tells he is one of the best coaches in the league. IMO, that was a good game. Boston Celtics did not gave up until the last minutes of the game and the fact that they can cut the lead to 1 will make the Miami Heat worry about Game 4. I like this type of game, brings me back to the 80's where a championship matters until the buzzer sounds.
They should stop treating their players like babies and bench them when that happens. I know they are taking care of their investments of million of dollars but they are paid to play and win those situations.

Good to see that the game in this series really shows fans how aggressive and dedicated the players to winning a game.

We see how Smart and Tatum continue playing even they've suffered from an injury, things that the coach can rest them and
not to force to secure a healthier comeback, but both young stars chose to play and even they've lost the game, it's still good
to see that the hunger of winning is in their mindsets,.
1675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 22, 2022, 05:04:22 PM
I also lost on this game, riding on the -6.5 for the Celtics to win at home.

But it's a different scenario, Celtics this time starting slow and let the Heat established a good lead in the first quarter alone. Although they cut the lead to 2 if I'm not mistaken, the Heat is composed not to let this game slip away from them.

Marcus Smart injury is painful to watch though.  Sad

Looking forward to the next game: Warriors vs Mavs again.

But Marcus smart still managed to finish the game, so I presume that he is okay. Heat got the lead but the series is still not over, once the Celtics were able to tie it in game 4, this series will be more interesting as it's just going to be the best of 3 series.

Next game, Tatum has to explode, Brown alone could not help his team to win, he needs his buddy.

Tatum needs to overcome the defense of Tucker, he needs to work it out and find the best way to create his shots.

If he continues playing like this, Heat can take 2 games from their home court and have a comfortable lead moving back to Miami,
Boston needs to tie the series.

Adjustment over adjustment, both teams are surprising the fans from what will be the possible turn out of every game
they played.
1676  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to get rid of useless tokens on: May 22, 2022, 04:49:34 AM
Is there any way to stop unwanted tokens deposits in my wallet? I have used two different types of crypto wallets and I keep getting tokens I know nothing about, I read that those tokens are scammers trap and moreover I never worked for it.
What activities are you doing online? Have you joined bounties, airdrops, or something similar where your address can get exposed publicly? Because that is one of the way for the scammers to see your address and send you scam tokens. If not and you are still receiving random tokens, why not use a new wallet address every time you have done a transaction? But not all wallets supports this kind of feature.

I think they created this to combat the same issue. What can they only send are tokens but tokens don't show automatically inside the wallet unless you will need to import them manually. Why can't you just ignore them? Just don't look at your wallet in a block explorer because you will always see them there.

One good way is not to look at them and ignore them each time you need to open your wallet and make a transaction.

Never to attempt any actions that will lead you to open or try to work on those useless tokens,
I see the point that it's annoying or to some, it will attract their attentions but if you care enough
with your wallet, it's best to forget about it and continue ignoring those kinds of scam tokens.
1677  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Its time to buy - end of bear market incoming on: May 22, 2022, 03:56:46 AM
I think the current price is a good offer to buy, the opportunity for crypto to skyrocket again is very large, the transaction volume is large and more and more countries are opening tenders for crypto legalization, making me optimistic to continue buying, besides buying of course holding and being patient is important because many panic when they see the price drop.

The price of most coins has dropped a lot compared to last year and it can be said that this is a good time to buy but be careful because we don't know how long the bear market will last and the price could still continue to fall. Not to mention, when the bear market lasts there will be many projects that cannot continue to go up, so always research carefully before buying.

IMO buy top coins like ETH and BNB instead of other altcoins because if bear market is not over, at least 2 coins will keep your assets safe. Just buy and be patient they will increase again after that.

Always best to monitor how the market behaves and how you can take your advantage.

It's hard to say when the market will bounce because there's also a chance of whale manipulation that can cause a
small up, then followed by a much deeper dump.

Make sure that you are also looking for possible alternatives, and I'm with you on picking the top coins from the market
they have good community and have deep foundations.
1678  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin fall below $30k on: May 22, 2022, 03:51:01 AM
Im holding. Not just holding, but also buying more bitcoin. People selling at dips and fomo buying at highest price all fools. Everytime it goes down everyone gets worried its going to zero. So they dont buy when they should be buying.  I dont think bitcoin will ever go to zero. Some altcoins future got erased with this tho.

Good for me, simple and yet very effective strategy in a bear market. For me, I have to learn it the hard way, but during the tail end of the bear market and the start of a bull run, was able to hold and save a lot of bitcoin so it's a win win for me.

For the price going below, again, this is a good opportunity to buy. And it seems this price range will stay for us for quite some time now so don't missed it.

You needed to established working strategy before you take your step in investing your money,

there are many twists and many factors that we needed to consider in taking our participation during the bear season.
First and most important is your allocation. Make sure that you are willing to let go or to hold tight in case the market
turn against you. Emotionless trading practices will give you a better chance of getting profits from any market movement.
1679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 22, 2022, 03:14:22 AM
I'm still taking the Celtics handicap even if the Heat got Lowry back since we saw last time how the Heat struggled against the Sixers on the road. Now with a much tougher team like the Celtics, I don't know if getting their teammate back would quickly turn the tides of the series but we'll see. I expect the Celtics to take the lead and most likely cover the spread but if the Heat suddenly gets revenge here then we might have a long series. I also have another bet on the -6.5 but it's a parlay with the spread as the last leg.



Heat starts strong and still holding good lead. Bam has a great game today!

But the best adjustment that they've done here is making a tough defense for Tatum, though Brown and Smart still
there Tatum's bad game affects them.

A turnover from Tatum mostly results in a good offense from the Heat, that rally in the last few minutes in the last
quarter almost tied the game, but Miami did great protecting the win.
1680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 22, 2022, 02:57:21 AM
It is time for Game 3 tonight in the Miami Heat - Boston Celtics series. This time Celtics are the home team. Actually it might not matter too much whether any of them play a home or away game at this point. We saw how Celtics crushed Heat in Game 2 which was an away one for them. And I strongly believe that Celtics will win Game 3 as well and bring the series to 2-1. I think Celtics are one step ahead in this series but it can still end by a score like 4-3 at the end. I assume Heat would fight back with all they have got.

I think playing at a home arena gives a slight advantage to any team. This is especially true for the Celtics because playing at the TD Garden arena is always stressful for any Celtics opponent. So, the upcoming game should be very tough for the Heat as they don't look like the favorites of this series after that defeat in game 2. At the same time, I have no doubt that the Heat aren't going to give up, and they can definitely surprise us.

This was supposed to be an easy for Celtics as a lot of punters and bookies have supposed but the Heat came out in terrific form and firing on all cylinders, with Adebayo having a great game so far, Lowry have also helped well, but he's definitely not 100% fit. Heat dominated the Celtics in all aspect of the game for most of the first half, but thanks to a 10-run to close the 2nd quarter the Celtics were able to reduce the deficit to 15 points. That'd surely keep the game more open for them in 3rd quarter compared to a 26 point lead.


Still in-play, but Tatum is down. Hopefully, this is just a game rest for him.

Seems that his right shoulder got stretch too much, we will know the update from him, lets continue watching the game
Heat only has 8 points leads under 5 minutes.

Both Butler and Tatum are out, exciting to see which team will win tonight. Very tight still have lots of time to turn things up.
