Malik Monk losing to Naz Reid for the 6th man of the year,

It's probably because Monk

> didn't make the full game, I mean he got injured
> Sacramento didn't make it to the playoffs

But in terms of numbers and then the impact to his team, I will give it to Monk.

Reid though is doing good and putting numbers as well specially in the 3 point area wherein he is shooting 41%++.

Heated debate between Floyd and Bill Haney,

https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1783039932031766853

Not sure though what the two are arguing, Lol, perhaps Bill is still salty that his son is no longer undefeated and maybe they are really envy of Floyd.

In any case you can watch it and see what your thoughts are.

Not even close, we are not even pricing in the halving at all, we are nowhere near that level yet. I am 100% sure that we will be on the road to 100k this year, before the year ends, either we are going to reach 100k this year, around the end of it, or we are going to reach it by the start of next year. I am sure that it is going to be pretty good, and we are going to end up with something that can benefit us for sure.

It is just that we need to make sure that we are not making any mistakes, sometimes there are some news and people react to that news and sell, then they make a big mistake, but because they sold, the market drops as well and their mistake ends up hurting us as well, we should try to avoid that as much as possible.

Yeah, as a investor and been in the market for many years, we all know that halving price is not price in. It's that there is some emergence of new pattern like establishing a new ATH before the halving.

But at the grand scheme of things, we will see 6 digits at the end of the year. If not, then it could be early 2025 and then new all time high. This has been the cycle and it will still continue despite seeing for the first time that we have reach it before the halving.

What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they be avoided?

The mentality that they will win every time and win big. I heard a lot of beginners with that kind of attitude, coming to online casinos full of confidence, have a lot of capital and then bet big. Unfortunately, with their $100 capital and betting like $10 per spin in a slot machine of their choosing, it will be like less than 5 minutes and your capital are all gone.

So for beginners, it's important that they should see as gambling as not a get rich quick scheme. It is still base on luck and not all of us have this kind of beginners luck. And capital management as well, very important so that you won't fall for the addiction and you need to control it early.
185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: April 24, 2024, 06:07:54 AM
Haney should do a good comeback and think about a rematch since it will be good to see another Garcia and Haney part two soon.

Not an immediate rematch he needs to build his confidence I read that his mandatory challenger is Sandor Martin, Sandor Martin is a good one he fought and floored Teofimo Lopez he is a technical fighter but lacks the power it will be another big challenge for Haney.

Devin is not showing himself in the media after his devastating loss, all talks come from his father Bill Haney, he should show up and tell his supporters that he's ok and move on, its better to come out on his mouth.
The social medias are so full of before and after the fight and so many memes comes out related to this fight, this is a candidate for the match of the year.

But Ryan said that he might not fight at 140 lbs anymore, obviously, in this fight, he weighs over at 143 lbs causing the fight to be a non-title. And he said that no matter how he tried to make the weight, he can't do it. So meaning his next fight will be at 147 lbs and yeah, he could be going up another weigh class and it will be very interesting how he will do at the list of the champions.

I wouldn't say that it could be a fight of the year though, it was a dominant win by Ryan and it's not like a go back and forth fight and was really close in the end.

Ryan learned his lesson on not forcing himself to make the limit in weight because of the rehydration clause on Tank Davis so he is going to move in up but he should still try the superlightweight and fight Pitbull Cruz so he can at least win one title because he will have a hard time in the Welterweight where is loaded with great names like Boot s Ennis, Errol Spence and of course Crawford if he decides to come back to the Welterweight Division.
His concentration should be on winning a title besides beating big names in boxing so he can attain greatness

Yes, I think his team and Oscar himself might be the culprit after all. Just saying that he might be the brain behind Ryan no forcing himself to make the 140 lbs limit because as he said, as much as he wanted to, his body is not allowing him to make 140 lbs. So definitely big lessons on their lost to Tank Davis. And maybe we all thinking that if there are no rehydration clause and Ryan went in that fight at 140++ lbs, it could be a different outcome after all.

Anyhow, if Ryan jumps to 147 lbs, there are a lot of fighters that are going to wait for him. Not the immediate champions, but I like the name that you brought up which is Ennis who have been calling Crawford for years.

And as we have been saying, the Mavs are going to claw back and they have the equalizer in game 2. Luka will not allow his team to lose this important game and steal one from the Clippers. They started hot but Clippers makes a huge comeback and even take the lead.

But back to back 3 by Luka and Irving and it ignited a 14-0 run. PJ Washington was a big help as well and Jones has double digits with 10 points and one crucial FT.

So the series goes to Dallas now, gonna be hard for the Clippers to win on that floor but let's see.
187  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why has bitcoin prices not increased just after halving ? on: April 23, 2024, 08:11:02 PM
People who are expecting the movement right after the halving are people who have not seen the previous halving. I have been here for three, and even with this one four halving I think, and I can tell you that we are not going to really see any big changes at all, we are seeing those changes a few months later. That's of course what I believe will happen, and doesn't mean that we are not going to end up with anything different.

Exactly, I see a lot of them complaining, not just in this forum, but other social media as well and I just laugh because I'm thinking that this individuals haven't seen halving before and they thought that immediately the price is going into parabolic rise.

Just focus on the future because halving DOES make it go up, just doesn't do it right afterwards, it takes a couple days for it to get there. I believe that we are going to end up with a much bigger and better result eventually, we just need to make sure that we can wait a few more months to get there.

Long term. I mean we all know that we have problems with the high transaction fees. But if we can still get and buy Bitcoin and then hold for the next year, we all be good and having a good margin of profits and just let the market run it's course, just be patience and we will see new all time high in the future.

Is there any penalty resultant of a bitcointalk forum memeber to double Cross in accessing and also contributing to foreigners local board discussions?
I thought of this because the pool of knowledge and learning is being way too broad and versatile which possibly I think that interested forum memeber can as well visit some foreigners local board and acquire some fact of knowledges maybe even have something profitable to contribute to the board as concerned.

No, there is no penalty, and I'm sure there are members here who can read and understand other language too.

I know I'll be next question how is it possible to cope with the foreigners local board since they specifically speaks their native language. So there I'll suggest using the translator and how about someone who has basic skills to be fluent with the language?
I'm just being optimistic about this because right in my local board, there are interesting discussions going right there which is not discussed in the general boards so I think we can as much also acquire to enhance our aspirations with our bitcoin investment and as well adopt some profitable everyday life lessions at the foreigners local boards.

Well you can use a translator. And if you go to local boards, you can see that some gambling platforms have post their sites there and it's obvious that it came from a translator. But there is no penalty there. And we can understand that they just wanted to post and promote their casinos.

And for sure if there are some mistakes, then the local can call it and they are going to easily correct that 'lost in translations' post.

Crazy game 2 between the Lakers and the Nuggets. Everyone thought the Lakers are gonna steal the game 2 as they lead 20 pts at some pt in the 3rd quarter, but the Nuggets didn't give up, was able to establish momentum in the 4th. Though they did not take the lead, but Murray just made a buzzer beater to beat the Lakers by 2 pts.
Man, it looks like the Lakers really stand no chance against the Nuggets. They have not won against them for 2 years straight now lol.
Davis was almost perfect in the 1st half but totally disappeared in the 2nd half.
It looks the Lakers' chance to win this series is by miracle lol.

Same here, I thought that they are going to take game 2 with D'Lo shooting and then AD and Lebron combining for big points. There were moments that AD was in rhythm and no one can stop him and Murray has a terrible shooting night.

I think the Lakers can get at least 1 game in this series and break their losing streak. Other Lakers like Austin Reaves have to stop up and help. Although Rui and Reaves has the task of guarding Jokic and Murray and that is big already and perhaps them concentrating on defense put their offense at the back seat as they didn't score double digits. Usually their starting five scores at least 100 points, but not in this series yet.
Agreed, Rui and Reaves need to score double figures as well, but then, Denver is really a title contender, unlike the Lakers who are struggling to enter the playoffs. It's not surprising that the Nuggets were going to win this series. It's either a sweep or 4-1 in favor of the Nuggets. But man, that AD response, "Jamal Murray made a shot," got me laughing.

Let us see, it just one game that Lakers needed here, that one game that they will win and win big in Crypto.com that will turn the tide in their favor. Reaves just some good shot selection in that game, but he is quiet on this series and same with Rui.

D'Lo is shooting hot, there were videos of him practice shooting after their lost and it indeed pay off in this game. But the Nuggets, very tough team, down 20 points and was able to claw back. Just shows that the defending champions are very hard to beat by anyone.

^^ The timing though, it's a high profile fight and Sulaiman wanted to have a test run with this big fight?

Why not test it out to some lesser known fights and see how it goes? And he could have been adding more controversies in this fight, so it doesn't make sense for the WBC president to put more fuel to the fire here.

And for sure majority of boxing fans here are not going to agree with him.
192  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Share your previous experience that you got after bitcoin halving. on: April 22, 2024, 06:36:52 AM
In my experience after the price halves to scare investors (will be a bear trap) then after 2/3 months the market starts going up (halving bull run), which lasts 9 months or 10 months.

How can it be a bear trap if we know that what follows is a big bull run? So probably the same will happen again, and as experience tells us, if the price goes down then you shouldn't panic and push the sell button, on the other hand, you can continue to accumulate.

Just like what had happen last halving, at least months after, or leading up to the end of the year 2020, last 3 months was huge, November and December at 40%-46% increased.

The last period of the Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks game is played and the Clippers are ahead by 21 points.
Kawhi Leonard is not playing for the Clippers tonight, I didn't think the Clippers would win so easily.
There are 5 minutes left in the game, but I don't think the score will change.
I can say they won the first game.

Well it's only Luka and Irving who scored for the Mavs, while the Clippers was in balance attack mode. But still early, this is just 1 game, and for sure Dallas will have to re-adjust involved other team mates. In this game only P. J. Washington was the other one who score double digit with 11 points.

Great game 1 between the Pels and OKC, Pels never give up in the 4th quarter to even take a lead. But they failed to execute in the last 2 possessions. Nance was block by Holmgren and then CJ unable to make a 3 for win or a 2 for OT.

194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 20, 2024, 06:06:17 AM
Let’s go Kings!

I'm with you on this one.
Surprised it's a close game considering Zion is not playing and BI is out of "shape".

Go Kings!!

Unfortunately, tired legs for the Kings and the home team Pels won the game. Brandon Ingram lead the team this time in the absence of Zion and it just took them the 2nd quarter to put a good enough lead that the Kings wasn't able to climb back.

Although they did make a run in the last 3 minutes of the game, but it was not enough.

And probably Fox hitting the top of back board in the first last quarter shows that they defense of the Pelicans it very good. They didn't even crack 100 points in this game.

196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: April 19, 2024, 12:47:32 PM

Bob Arum is an experienced person and he is promoter who has created many great fights and has brought several fighters to extraordinary success.
But regarding this fight which will take place in Japan, there is really nothing to worry about because right now sales in this event have reached $20 million and this fight is not only about being able to put the championship belt on the line but also to produce money.


Changes such as this one have been occurring for the past few years because other nations are also prospering and right now as we can see, they can promote such high-quality fights in their country and not only there, as of now, we often see some major fights happening in the middle-east as well which wasn't the case before. So as long as they can sell the fights, they don't really care in which country it is as long they secure the safety of the boxers and their earnings. Money can really change almost anything and this scenario is one of the examples we are seeing right now. Pacquiao was a nobody before he came out to the US and everything changed positively for him after that and that was not the case for Inoue right now.

I do agree, but if Inoue wanted to be different from the rest of the boxers and become a legend himself in the future, regardless of the money that he will get from his native country, he should be sort of getting out of his comfort zone and fight in the US.

He could be the next Manny if he will fight in the US and gain a huge fan base there. But I guess it's not their plan to fight outside of Japan as obviously in his last 4-5 fights, all of them are inside his country and most of the time his fans in the US might have missed it because of time difference.
197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: April 19, 2024, 11:19:08 AM
Do not be tricked by this boycott. This is only part of another marketing roadmap that they use to make more people more curious for this fight hehehe. I reckon that after King Ry's loss against Tank Davis, he needed to create a new personality for himself to make the fans react and talk about Ryan. This boycott implies that it is working! I very much wish Ryan will reach the decision and make the fight a split decision. This will certainly make fans question the capability of Devin Haney.

nice catch @bbc.reporter ... that's just certainly a marketing strategy.. why would someone wants it boycotted when it's not even selling well? They just want that fight to gain more attention so the tickets will be sold. This will be happening few days from now, so that could be a desperate marketing strat from their promoters. Anyway, we don't need to wait longer, the outcome of this fight will dictate the future of Ryan, because if he loss, he'll go back again and will try to create another hype until his strategy will not work.
Of course, but if this guy part of their marketing ploy? If you have followed him on Twitter, he is a obvious troll and everyone including Crawford was responding to Ray Jackson. But as far as the tickets goes, we will see, Oscar again is saying otherwise in the press conference and tell us that almost all tickets have been sold except for a few. Anyhow, we are almost here now, despite the trash talk, the lack of selling sales and other way they promoted this fight, still boils down to this two inside the ring. Both are very confident but Garcia is still a huge betting underdog.

Until the last days before the fight, well we still have the weigh-in It is full of drama and controversy Ryan is full of the hype I have never seen him so hype he is forcing himself and wants to be in the spotlight always on everything he does, the weigh-in I'm sure will be full of drama that will end all drama Ryan created so its something worth waiting.

If Ryan is like this before the fight where he is super hype, what, more on the actual fight we will be disappointed if Ryan cannot walk his talk he is just acting like this is an easy fight, that he is in excellent condition and he is strong than Haney, he talks proudly about knocking out Haney in round two so let's see if he is going to shock the world or he will be shocked to see how good Haney is

And this is what Haney says on why he push Ryan prior to the press conference,

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hV-3usSN4z4

Like any other trash talker, he brought up something that is dear to everyone's heart like a mother or a wife. And so I think Ryan has crossed the line and usually this boxers are going to make the fight personal. I remember Mayorga vs Dela Hoya, Mayorga was a trash talker and he like Ryan cross the line when he talk about Oscar's wife and him being a "Maricon". And so Oscar knock him down in that fight, round 9 or 10 if I still remember it correctly. So maybe in this fight, Haney will really look for a knockout.

Nah fam, constantly looking for the silver lining in things doesn’t make you an optimist. It makes you a delusional.

 
This is what I am seeing, many people become too optimistic and gradually they start to become delusional giving misconceptions about bitcoin. Many people are too delusional to think that bitcoin is like God, it can solve all problems in the world such as eradicating poverty, reducing war, helping the world economy develop...Regarding investment, many people even think that investing in bitcoin is risk-free and bitcoin only increases and never decreases. These illusions will really endanger them if someone sells all their assets to invest in bitcoin.

Everything has risks and we need to be realistic, then analyze and come up with a plan that suits us. If we only look at the positives and ignore the negatives, it will only expose us to more risks.

I guess it's better to be delusional sometimes, specially in a market as volatile as Bitcoin. Nevertheless, we've seen in the past what it can bring to our lives and maybe this is the same reason why people are having this illusion about Bitcoin.

As for the risk, everything in life has risk, the thing with this market though is that it is really unpredictable that there are people who easily give up and there are some who become delusional but at the same time see the future of their investments, like getting big profits in the future. Specially in the current situation that we are about to enter the halving.

Yes, I put it in the NBA discussion thread prior to the decision, here.

So good riddance to Jontay, and I urge everyone to look at some of his videos while him playing and you can really see that it's all fake about his injury inside, playing for like 5 minute and then be replaced by someone without scoring.

There's something off with this player and it's good that the NBA has ban, and he just throw off millions just for around $80k.

The Bitcoin halving seems to be pretty far since we have been anticipating it for a long time now/ But guess what we almost made it and not only that is is a double celebration for me ahead. In less than 24 hours I will be marking another 365 days completed and not just that, The Bitcoin network will be undergoing its 4 every halving in history. Join me as we watch the countdown happening!


Or there could be bitcoin halving party around the world to celebrate this activity in our history every 4 years.

However, the time could vary for every countdown, as there are no exact time when we are going to see it. Good for you if the halving will happen on your birthday so just treat it as it is. The price though might take some time to increase and the immediate effect of the halving will not be felt. It might take weeks or months before we can see the price moving up. The current price is $62k++, so it's good for us to see above $60k during halving time and if by conservative estimates we might look at x2, then it will be $120k new all time high next year.
