It's simple, if Carmelo misses a few bad shots, then automatically, he needs to be replaced by someone. Just a couple of minutes to relax again in the bench.

It's not simple. What if while Carmelo is missing shots, but he is contributing well to other aspects of the game like assist, rebounds, and backcourt plays, is he still be subject to a quick substitution? The rotation is based on originally provided minutes. Even the player is performing well, there are really times that a coach will still choose to bench those guys especially if not part of the solid starting lineup. Lots of bench players that doing good but still ended up mostly on the bench warming the sits.

Not sure if Carmelo is good in assists or rebounds though, in Portland he was a spot shooter. And there are a lot of good players in the LA roster than can play and could contribute more if Carmelo is not doing good offensively.

I guess it's up to the coach though and not Lebron. And we don't know if Carmelo will be given the green light to just shoot.

LeBron still have smething to say behind, if Melo is not performing well mayeb he won't get that time but I guess he will try his best. Melo and LeBron have a good bond being friends and that's enough to trust Melo taking those shots.

He can deliver for sure, we've seen him playing with the Blazers and he still hitting those shots. With a much higher confidence that there are someone who can take that offensive rebounds, he may take more shots with high confidence.

It's just less than a week and we will see them play.

Excited to see the first time the new lakers will wear their uniform. Westbrook and Melo should have a good season as they are playing with the best in the NBA, Lebron is still the King and will continue to break history, so he will surely lead the team and not only Melo will get the confidence, Lebron as well because they played with Melo and Westbrook who were stars in their respective teams in the past.

This is not a new phenomenon. I have heard about this kind of rumor from China's many times so far. It's basically a ploy of theirs, they basically spread such rumors to buy bitcoin at the possible lowest price. So I urge everyone not to listen to such rumors.
I think everyone is used to it already. This should not threaten investors to prevent from buying and holding because if they do, its like they are giving China the chance to buy it at the lowest prices. I get pity with those crypto holders that are stucked in China because it will be hard for them to sell their coins if they want, unless if they will just hold them for a long time so that won't create a problem. One thing i am certain about China, they won't succeed in crypto through banning and making it illegal in all means.

What are the things to keep in mind when looking for an online course for trading?


You must first look at the genuity of the tutor, instructor or the medium that you want to go with before you sign up. I mean you first look at the red signs as signal for scam can be noticed in all scam that will happen in future is always evident in the beginning process but we don't start carefully to see them. Pay in money as requested and said initially if it is asked that is moderate, then subsequent request for money should be scrutinized or turn to red signal. Many online shops, telegram etc are scam but look nice in the face level, becareful in your journey to online trading.
Is it really necessary to enroll in an online course for trading? There are a lot of helpful youtube videos that will not require any amount to spend because its free. You can also check some online trading platforms and see if you can learn some tips that will be very useful to you. I guess its only a matter of being a resourceful and a studios learner. If you are really eager to learn, you can do it everything in online for free, just be patient in spending time in reading and watching videos that will be relevant in trading.
1664  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to understand the market in advance on: September 29, 2021, 11:47:24 PM
For me, the only way to understand the market is through experience. Without experience, getting a positive result will be much more difficult, really.
Indeed. Experience can help us give a clearer picture on how the market can be understand in advance. Actually, there are a lot of ways on how to understand them but for newbies who lack the knowledge on how the market works so through experience, it can give us a full understanding on how the market moves and how we should react on it. But since the market has its own volatility, even if how well we know the market, it will always bound to change due to unexpected events that will create a sudden move in the market differently.
1665  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How are you taking the China Bitcoin Ban? on: September 29, 2021, 11:11:18 PM
Hate or not the news about a government and especially a big one like china completely banning the use of bitcoin is a negative news and we are truly seeing its influence on the market, sure they banned the mining in earlier date and that affected the price slightly, but banning the use of it is a big deal, and we all know that the government has a some strict surveillance on its  people so anyone who is using bitcoin will defiantly be looking to sell.
There's nothing we can do but to deal with it because this is something that cant really be changed whenever they do like on banning everything according to their liking.China's behavior had been always like this on where they do really get rid of things that they dont like or simply cant control knowing on how a communist country China been then its no surprise that they would really be making such action but based off on history then
there are several times that China make out some pullbacks of their decisions which turns out to be having that impression to be a bit manipulative.
For me, i chose to be calm as i'm not affected with this and i think we bitcoiners should have to accept and live with this. This is not the first time banning from China so probably, there will still bannings that will happen every year. And knowing China who's very authoritative, so they will do everything just to make bitcoin stop from evolving. But that will not happen for sure. Because China is just a single country, there are still lots of countries who are supporting and adopting bitcoin too. In the long run, China will never have an effect to bitcoin anymore even how many bannings will be imposed.
1666  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Ethereum reach $5,000 by 2021? on: September 29, 2021, 06:24:30 PM
maybe 5 years from now Etherum will reach $5000 for sure. until ETH 2.0 I don't think it will reach the desired price, especially with market conditions that look bearish, it might be difficult to pass the previous ATH
It's too far to say until the next 5 years because in a very long period of time there will be many events in the market and even beyond everyone's predictions, so try to say something more logical in this case with a shorter time than now.
Right. I think you are already degrading ethereum with your own prediction. 5 years is already long enough and by that time ethereum might have its price already ranging from $15k-$20k. Its better to look forward with a positive thoughts than stay on its negative side.

IMO, ethereum with its $5k prediction might be easy to reach in its previous months but recently, the market is having a bad time in making the prices of coins move upward because of some minor dumps. If not this year, maybe we can see a new ATH for ethereum by next year so let's just still be hopefull by that time.
1667  Economy / Economics / Re: CHINA Banning bitcoin: PBOC Says All Crypto-Related Transactions Are Illegal on: September 28, 2021, 11:48:09 PM
The impression this move from China gave to me is, Bitcoin has only become MORE valuable in China, and that the people under that tyrannical State has come to need Bitcoin MORE than they did BEFORE the ban.
That will 100% be true after this ban. The only way to move money away from the dictator was crypto and people were using that a lot. Now that it is fully banned (officially) people will look to find methods to save their money in crypto some other way. If you do it on P2P then officials will find where you are, pose as a trader, get to you and then they will prison you.

This is why it will be very very risky to continue, if you could do it online then they will do it online but they will not even risk the dangers of p2p so it is going to be very difficult. I hope that people there will be safe, because this is just another step of being a horrible nation.
China will never stop banning bitcoin until all the people who are secretly involve in it will stop from doing so. But that won't happen for sure. Bitcoin is becoming more irresistible these days so people will definitely find ways on how to continue its transactions even if it means doing it in some neighboring countries. And this continuous banning of bitcoin will even create more opportunities to those who are not yet involved into bitcoin because they will start to be curious on it and might eventually develop their interest investing in bitcoin. Well then, China will be more consistent in hating and banning bitcoin.
1668  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto dip today on: September 28, 2021, 11:02:33 PM
Yes, full market is in dip so it is nice time to collect some tokens. I have picked some amount of arpa, tlm, Ada and Matic in this dip. What are your choice must tell here.
Lot’s of good choices here and my priority are on the top of the list like BTC, BNB and ETH they are pretty cheap today though there’s still a chance for them to get cheaper so keep watching the market as we continue to go down and no signal yet of going up. Many predict the market to recover in the last quarter of 2021, let’s be prepared for that and buy more now, don’t panic because this is a normal trend of cryptocurrency.

Indeed, there is no sign that the market will recover in the near future, but indeed we must not panic in a situation like now. If we have extra money,
we can buy some coins that we consider potential, because almost all coins are now falling in price. My choice is the same as yours, prioritizing buying
top crypto, because I don't want to risk buying shitcoins. But if we really don't have the money to buy coins right now, we can just hold the coins
we already have. Because as long as we can be patient waiting for the market to recover, there is nothing to worry about, the market crash as it is now is
a common thing in the crypto world. Because in the end the market will recover and we can get profit, so don't sell the coins we have now.
If you understand how this volatility works in the market, then you will never resort into panicking. All you have to do is to be even more patient and hold them until the profits again are becoming more visible.

However, if the market prices continue to drop, well take this opportunity to buy again those top coins in the market. You won't have to deal long with the market dumping because it will always recover until you see those top coins reach another peaks again. So it might be a matter of patience and taking risk whatever this market has to offer.
1669  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Before getting into trading on: September 28, 2021, 03:59:12 PM
When one first enters the trading game, it is most often challenging to know how to prepare for it. Even if it is an appealing approach to increase profit, it would not be as fruitful as one may imagine without a fundamental understanding of the basics and a few preparations.
How should one prepare before getting into trading?

Some are in good profit while some did not, that is the reality about trading. becoming into real trading is really challenging and I definitely agree that preparation is very important and many had neglected to take this but rather to jump the boat as fast as they can.

Well, to lose in trading is very common, some use this to learn more but unfortunately, some use this to quit and blame crypto. Yeah, trading is risky as we all know but can't make some people understand that as they just underestimate the market. That is very important to have enough knowledge of the market before getting into this. Money and skill could just be easy to acquire but still are the factors that could affect our trade.
Well, if you don't have the knowledge, skills and capital, i must say that you are not yet prepared for trading. Because as much as i know, trading is very risky, so if someone plans to go into it, he must be willing to learn and be knowledgeable on the crypto market, eager to develop his own trading strategies and skills, and lastly he has the minimal capital that he can manage to lose.

However, trading has definitely its own high risks but if you got all the preparations before getting into trading and has mastered them, i know somehow the risk will be lessen. Of course, there will still be losses but they don't happen more often.
1670  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Challenge with small investment in bitcoin on: September 28, 2021, 02:02:10 PM
I will continue to monitor this thread. It's very interesting. and want to know the small journey of bitcointalks investors. It will also add to my insight from your investment experience.
Same with me too. OP just got me more thrilled and excited about it. This will definitely clear the minds of newbies and to everyone who believes that bitcoin is more on for rich people, and no place for the poor. I know this is a total misinterpretation that should be corrected as early as now because if not, the rich people will become richer, while the poor become poorer. Bitcoin is for everyone. Its not necessary that you take the whole bitcoin on your first buy. Take a step by step process and start investing in a little amount and it will definitely grow if you always do the right thing.
1671  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and wealth as the major religions in world. on: September 27, 2021, 11:21:33 PM
Money or wealth is the dream destination of many people in the world

Religion is the total believe of a group people on a particular being.
Most or everyone in the world today in which I am included believe in accumulating of wealth and making money.

More than Half of the life span of the human race is centred on making of money or wealth.

Making money legally or illegally, accumulating of wealth is the believe of most people in the world.
First of all, isn’t money the same thing as wealth? Because I don’t get why you are mentioning both words at the same time. Money is not the religion for everyone, maybe it is for you but it is not the same with others. There are lots of things that you can focus on in life and it's not just about money all the time.

Yes, of course everybody wants to make money, because you have to feed yourself and there are lots of other things too that you can do with money, but that doesn’t mean that everyone is dying to get money or something like being desperate for it. There is love, family, yourself, and a lot of other things to focus on in this life. So don’t just say that money is everything there is.
Money is indeed the most basic need of a human for survival. Without it, everyone will be starving and may not survive in the end. But that's just for physical aspects. We all know that there is more on that. We have also our emotional and spiritual aspects that need to be feed too. So even if we have only less money enough to sustain our basic necessities, that will be greatly enough. Yes, money is very essential these days, and if you have a bundle of that, it will definitely make you happy but not satisfied. Because what we all need is mainly love. The love of God, and the love for our loved ones.
1672  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Im going to buy solana at 80$ on: September 27, 2021, 09:47:49 PM
you have to take into account the following for the price of SOL to drop to $80:

1 - if the price of SOL in relation to bitcoin remains, then it is enough for the price of bitcoin to drop to $28000 for the price of SOL to drop to $85

2 - if there is any disaster in the project then the price could drop to $80

are two extremely difficult scenarios to happen
Of course, with these two probable reasons, the price of SOL will eventually fall back again but not so sure if $80 will be its deepest dip. It might eventually fall below $80 if the crisis continue to exist. But i know this one is sure, if bitcoin will make a big price correction and it will drop below $40k, so the rest of altcoins and meme coins will definitely fall too. This one is the biggest fear of all investors because instead of the expected ATH that will be hit soon by bitcoin, the market will suddenly experience a bearish season. Its just the same when bitcoin reaches its new ATH, the whole market will be bullish again.
1673  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How you invest ? when you lose ? on: September 27, 2021, 08:45:24 AM
Generally speaking, new investors who have just entered the market are panicked or upset. They are afraid that their funds will be lost, so whenever they see this downward trend, they may think that they will face losses. They have no investment experience, so they will be very worried about this.
Its always expected to happen particularly with new investors as they don't have much experience in the crypto market. So they probably think that they are already losing when in fact that they will only lose if they start selling at low prices. So it will be a profitable advice if they choose those top altcoins that are mostly with high potentials to be worth something more in the future. Bitcoin and ethereum will mostly fall as the top picks while some of the meme coins like shiba and solana will be more profitable when investing for short term.
1674  Economy / Economics / Re: Our Dear Bitcoin and its price movement. on: September 26, 2021, 06:50:36 PM
seeing the fluctuations in bitcoin movements, this is actually a pretty good thing and as for buying bitcoins, there's actually nothing bad when buying any amount for now.
what must be done for now is maybe don't panic and don't get carried away into fud that can harm yourself, and maybe the most important thing now is to hold on as strong as possible because this can make you better if you need to add your assets as much as possible so that at least you can be calmer here.
Based on its chart, the price has been around $42k to $45k and it always comes back and forth. So if you are planning to buy now and hold it for long term, then i think it will be a positive move. Although we are not in its dip price, but we know for sure bitcoin will never stays in dump but it will always  comes up rising. So never doubt on buying bitcoin now. We might wake up the following day and sees bitcoin has crossed the resistance level of $45k, and it will move forward by then.
1675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Jonas Sultan vs Carlos Caraballo - October 30, 2021 on: September 26, 2021, 06:05:22 AM
@Russlenat - right, the blue print has been laid out by Manny Pacquiao. So Filipino boxers can follow it to the tee. On the other hand, I believed that Pacquiao is destined to be one of the greatest that came from the Philippines after the Flash Elorde.

So it's dedication and a little of timing and of course the God given talent to really propel the next generation of boxers like Jonas Sultan to follow in the footsteps of Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao may retire soon as a boxer but he will continue to mold the young boxers and give them the opportunity to be popular in the world.

He is the one that we have all been waiting for, he makes history in boxing in the world and mostly in the Philippines as being a promoter, he can give an opportunity to the young boxers to fulfill their dreams. Actually, we have a lot of good boxers in the Philippines, the only problem is that they don't have the opportunity to show their talent to the world, so it's a blessing that MP promotion is created which is more focused on sending their boxer to fight abroad.

This is why he has this MP Promotions, so they are taking care of younger generation boxers from his country.
Lucky for these younger boxers as they have connections to penetrate the global boxing market.
Remember, when Pacquaio was just starting, they found it difficult to look for a promoter as he was just starting to make a name in boxing.
Now, this MP Promotions may have been grooming these younger ones who can make their name in boxing just like Pacquiao.

Exactly, it was difficult but because he did not miss the opportunity to give an impressive win when he was noticed to fight as a substitute against Lebwada who was the champion, Pacquiao's name become popular as what happens next is he keeps winning fights convincingly.
1676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING: Skill-based vs. Chance-based on: September 26, 2021, 02:48:48 AM
For me, I will choose the skill-based gambling because I am not hoping for the luck of life, I want to take action to make my life great. It is still better to think logically and analytically at any time.

But if you are only a beginner, I think the chance-based gambling would be suitable for you, but do not stick only on that, you should improve yourself, acquire skills and knowledge through experience so you will be able to play skill-based gambling soon.

We have different likes and dislikes, I really don't like lottery games since the chance of winnings is really low but the profit is definitely high. In regards with provably fair games such as dice games and roulettes I really do like those since there's some kind of excitement but just like you I do like the skill-based gambling especially sports betting and blackjack where in your decision have effect to the outcome of your bet.

You don't have to take it seriously, just gamble the lottery for fun, sometimes I bet on the lottery but I'm not really expecting that I have a high chance of winning, if I'm lucky that's it, I will win big and be happy, but if you are consistently betting on this regularly, then for sure you will accumulate big loses.
1677  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shall We Hold Our Bitcoin Like Gollum? on: September 25, 2021, 09:23:36 PM
I also learn from failure. When the profit reaches 20%, I will withdraw the profit. If I lose 20%, I'll sell. Sometimes it's hard to do. When I sold, I would complain that I could have made more. This is wrong.
When you lose 20%, it is better to hold and not sell it for that price because losing 20% will be big for you. Perhaps, if the price is down 10%, you can sell bitcoin and buy back at a low price. But we know if the price will still go down or it will be back to the high price. And if you think that selling at losing 20% is the best thing you can do, you can do that. But you need to think twice before you sell at a loss. So hold bitcoin like Gollum will be the best thing that we can do in the bear run.
You know, its really our own choice if we just keep holding our bitcoins like gollums do or sell whenever there are chances to make profits. There may be some of us who will definitely sell it and convert into fiat because there is a need for emergency funds. Whatever it is, as long as its becoming productive on our part, either selling or holding, then its still a good way to go. For me, i used to hold before like really long term but then when some problems start to arise, i start selling some of my coins because its badly needed though, while holding some of them for future profits.
1678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: September 24, 2021, 08:34:40 PM

If Casimero will have a good win in this fight, people will forget that he did not KO Rigo based on what he predicted. It's his time to rise again, a good win (KO) will make him more popular, and the more the fans will long to see an Inoue vs Casimero fight.

I think that would be a good thing if he does that because he was so frustrated with Rigo last time. They wanted some opponent who wanted to clash with him in the middle of the ring, not just some old boxer who has some boring strategy to win the fight. Casimero was so lucky that he didn't lose that one since the other officials give the win to Rigo. I hope it will not be the case this time if he ever fights Butler and he will gonna win it sweeply.

I'm confident it will not be the case, Butler is an aggressive fighter and he doesn't run so much like Rigo did. I know the style of Rigo, he runs and hit just like Mayweather, but I was expecting him to fight like how he fights when he defeated Donaire, but in that fight, it was a total running show and it was boring because  Casimero can't hit him and he wasn't engaging as expected. I don't know if Rigo could still find a fight after what happen, his trainer might be upset.



Yes, Casimero should not underestimate Butler here. We don't know what kind of preparation he has. But I think  on this match, sportsbooks will favor on Casimero. The gap may not be that wide. Should he win on this fight, maybe Casimero's camp will get a deal from Inoue's camp easy. This is really interesting to watch out for.

Casimero always work to finish his opponent early, with the right timing, I'm sure he will get another KO win from this boxer.

1679  Economy / Economics / Re: How has inflation affected your savings and investing? on: September 24, 2021, 07:35:29 PM
The inflation is really dipping a whole in the pocket as a result of high price, things are very costly and it is affecting income, the worst part is things get costlier almost on a daily basis, many people are really finding it difficult to sustain their families, things are not easy at all.
What do you expect? The inflation will never be controlled so expect that there will be more price increase in the days to come. And what saddened me is that i need to increase my budget for my daily needs so i can sustain what my family needs. When  it comes to my investments, i think its just a sort of fund management so i can still diversify my investments as much as i want. But i admit, my savings were really affected with the high inflation so whatever profits that i have from my investments, i make sure that some of them will also go to my savings. In that way, i'm still prepared with whatever circumstances that may come.
1680  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: SOL is already $144, can still buy it? on: September 24, 2021, 07:09:38 PM
It could be because of the effect of the decline in the price of Bitcoin. Today I when I monitor the market, almost all the coins are red. Starting from Bitcoin to 49th on the coinmarketcap list and the average decline is 8% to 10%.
can be seen here: https://coinmarketcap.com/
Many of them began to rally and $SOL has good discount around $125 about half of day ago. If you want to wait more, you can set your order around $100 to $110 but I think $110 is good to enter $SOL again.

Red days are days you can get profit in short time and you don't have to bet anything. With big corrections, you will get profit if you buy the dips. When all are green, if you enter, you bet that price will keep moving up, higher.
That's for sure and everyone takes advantage of it to profit on the good coins and not on the obscure coins even if the red days are over. Coins bought in red market moments are great to hold for a long time as long as the target has not been reached and I'm sure it will definitely get to like Solana coins.
Well, Solana has been very profitable in these past few days so even if you buy it with a much higher price, i know you will still be profitable in the future as it is good for long term investment.  But if you have still doubt if it will continue to grow its value despite of the recent dump, then maybe buying it partially is good enough. I know some of us may be skeptical on Solana because its a meme coin, but sometimes meme coins are even more profitable than those solid coins in the market.
