Many thought that it will be like this knowing that the Bulls are on the bottom seed while the Kings is on the top
However, the Kings won on the road, but they won in a hard way. I'm thinking what if that shot of Fox that sealed the deal didn't went in, and it goes to overtime? Can they still win? Anyway, it didn't happen, and now they are 2nd again currently tied with the Kings with 4.5 games behind the top seeded Nuggets.

As expected. It's on the road. The Warriors lost yet again.

They can't stop Big Zu on the paint. I mean even Looney is having a hard time with him inside. Curry's heroic performance in this game has been spoiled by PG and Kawhi. Let's give credits to Terance Mann as well because he adjusted from their starting PG when Westbrook isn't in the Clippers to now their bench and their potential 6th man. Credits to Eric Gordon as well because he played really well on this game scoring 14 points in the 3rd quarter.

1/5 road game for the Warriors. 4 consecutive road games to go. If you want to bet on their next, maybe it's safe to bet against them if they will play on the road. Not an advice though.

Well, that's what newbies suppose to do, but unfortunately, they aren't reading what must be read because they believe it's a waste of time. They are only eyeing on the possible profits that they can get if they win. Now when the worse thing happens, they will blame the casino for it where in fact, it's their problem that they didn't read what must be read like the TOS, FAQ blah blah.

They are just scrolling down the TOS, check the small box below and proceed. There are some gamblers who are focusing more on their possible profits while there are some who are focusing more on the bonuses that they can get. Well, there's nothing wrong with it, but at least read what must be read.

Like @Fundamentals Of, I'll also admit that I'm not reading the TOS or whatever it is, and TBH, I don't see anything wrong with it as long as you know when to gamble and when not to.

And, the struggle continues to the defending champions as they are now on a 9-game road losing streak.
Curry is a monster on this game especially in the 3rd quarter where he single-handedly carried the team, but lost steam in the 4th quarter.

Overall, the Warriors are in a trouble right now. Take note that this is only the first road game for them, and there's still 4 more to go. If they lose all of those 5 games, they will go down really hard and knowing how close the Western Conference standings are, a mere 3 game losing streak will cause a huge problem to the team.

I don't know if the Lakers really don't want to be on the .500, or whatever the reason it is.

I mean in their game against the Rockets, they didn't even take the lead the whole game (aside from that 1-0 from Russell's free throw). If they wanted to clinch the playoffs then at least play better even without their all-stars Davis and Lebron. They are up against a bottom seeded team in Rockets, and they can't even beat them.

Possible... or not possible.

When it comes to crypto projects, one hacking incident on the project might affect the trust of the investors towards the project itself. There will be doubts on their mind already that "What if it happen again anytime soon?" or "What if my funds will lost if it happens again?" etc. etc. Another question is that, are you sure that the developers will give back the lost funds to investors? Until they aren't doing it, don't take their words because many project developers did that, but they can't. Take note, they can make a hundred promises, but they have a choice if they will do it or not.

Now to answer your question, there's a chance depending on the outcome of the situation, but there's a chance that it will not even though the developers will give back the lost funds.

When did you took that screenshot? That's the question.
I guess that was the transaction fee of Ethereum back in 2020 where gas fees are ridiculously very high at that moment. That's 3 years from now. You're kind of late .

To answer your question regarding how that's even possible, it was the demand for transaction at that time. Many wanted to enter the DeFi hype at that time thus, many people are willing to pay higher fees just to be in the project, and that's the reason why it went to as high as the screenshot you shared.

Currently, the fees of Ethereum isn't as high as you posted OP so I'm wondering did you look at the date where the fees of Ethereum are that high?

Well, it seems like the Beermen are still fine even without him looking on how they win against the NLEX yesterday.

6 weeks is what their doctor said, I also agree with what you said that if he comes back, he isn't the usual JMF that we used to see on the court that's dominating the paint, shooting perimeter shots etc. etc. I guess Clark will be having more playing time at the center position now that Fajardo might not play until the Finals (if they will enter the Finals).

On the other hand, that lost by the NLEX Road Warriors put them from 4th spot to 6th spot. I'm not pretty sure if how many teams will have a twice to beat advantage, but if the top 4 has it then the Road Warriors missed the opportunity that they need, and instead, they are now on a twice to beat disadvantage.

Right now, the only series that is sure to happen is the 4-5 series which is the Meralco (4th) and the Magnolia (5th). Phoenix is sure at the 8th spot, Converge is sure at the 7th spot while NLEX is sure at the 6th spot, and all of them are waiting for their opponents.

NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver really is a softie. He takes these serious crimes very lightly. 8 game suspension? What's even worse is within that 8 game suspension, he included the 5 games where he is out so he is suitable to return on the 20th against the Mavericks.

Well, for the Grizzlies fans, they loved what they saw, but for other NBA fans (like me), 8 game is kind of not enough for what he did. I mean he is the face of the Grizzlies, the face of Powerade as he has an advertisement there and has a contract with Nike. He must've face more game suspension.

On the flip side, I just hope that he will come back stronger, and will not do what he did last time. I mean that incident alone almost caused him almost a $200 Million Contract. Doing it or at least the same might have some bad problems with regards to his NBA career. Good that he's back even though the Grizzlies aren't struggling really even he's out.

Since there is no timetable for him to return, it's hard to predict when he will return, and will play with his team.

Well, the good thing is that the Grizzlies are still playing well even without him... at least for the remaining games of the regular season. We know that the playoffs will be a different story. Currently, they are at the 2nd spot again, but only 1 game behind the 3rd seeded Kings.

I'm thinking this scenario. What if the Grizzlies falls down to the 3rd spot before the playoffs and the Lakers somewhat manage to go to the 6th seed. I mean we can't underestimate the Lakers right now, and many will agree if I say that they are a championship contender with their current roster. What if we see Grizzlies-Lakers in the 3-6 seed? Is there a chance for the Grizzlies to win against a team like the Lakers?

Anyway, congratulations to the Milwaukee Bucks as they are the first team to clinch the playoffs with their win against the Suns just a few hours ago.

I'm assuming that you're buying Bitcoin for the first time so with that, it's a good first step already.
I think many already said these to you, but I will share 2 tips that will help you in your investing journey.

1. Keep going - Dollar Cost Averaging. It's proven to be the best long term strategy though I still don't want to use the word "safe" from it because there are still risks to it. Just continue buying Bitcoin, and when you know that the price of it went down, take the opportunities and buy it. Don't be like other investors where they are panicking when they see Bitcoin going down even just a little bit.

2. Don't fall in love with your assets - What do I mean by this? You said that you will hold your Bitcoins for a long time right? There's nothing wrong with it, but set a specific selling time where whatever happens, you need to sell at that time. Don't fall in love with your holdings, and hold it for a very long time. That's my mistake already. I have a mindset where I will hold Bitcoins for a long time, then the bull run came in 2021. I didn't do anything at all, and I just watched the market. The following year is the bear market. I regret not selling a huge portion of all of my assets because I missed the potential profits at that time, and I can just buy more during the bear market

Your friend is addicted for sure.

He can't stop gambling even though he incurs losses already. He don't want to stop gambling because he wants to recover his money back. Even though he is losing that much money already, he doesn't want to stop because he can't afford to just lose the money he loses in gambling and choose to gamble more. He can't move on from his losses.

On the other hand, I'm gambling as well, but I can't consider myself as a strong person as well.

This is the problem with him.

Assumptions, dream of recovering his losses. An assumption that he will recover his money back, but the reality is that it will remain as an assumption because he is losing more money than gaining more. Little business or project? Maybe you friend needs to wake up from the reality, and I hope you can help him in his addiction.

We already know what Davis is capable of. It's just that in his last games, his performance is kind of lacking down especially on offense and we can see it during their last loss against the Knicks where he only scored 17 or 18 points I think.

Overall, the Lakers are a good team to watch out now because after the trade deadline, they are coming from a team who can't get a play-in spot to now a team who might at least enter the playoffs. They have players who are good on offense, but at the same time, they also have players who are also good on defense. Davis on this game lead his team with a double-double 35 points and 17 rebounds. Beasley and Russell combined for 41 points.

I'm a bit surprised TBH that the Lakers ended up winning by only 15 points. I mean we've seen the lead of the Lakers go as high as 30+ points. Well, the good thing is that they didn't let the Pelicans get the momentum from the start until the end even though it's their home court. I just hope that they will win on their next game and will be on .500.

When it comes to stable coins, just remember what happened to UST back when Terra Luna has been attacked causing the project to be destroyed in just a matter of days. Just remember what happened to USDC days ago when it de-pegged from 1$ to as low as $0.87. We've also seen DAI got de-pegged as well. I guess this is enough proof to say that stable coins aren't really pegged to a dollar.

I don't know why investors are preferring holding stable coins than cash. Maybe the potential interest that they can get while holding it in some wallets or exchanges is the reason of it, but overall, I don't think that's a good thing to do.

I can't imagine our world without any cash. Yes digital cash is becoming more popular already and the number of people using it exploded especially during the pandemic where there is a time where establishments aren't accepting physical cash because it might be a potential carrier, but overall, cash is still needed, and it isn't trash at all.

FOR A MOMENT.

Yes it reached that price for only 2 hours, and after that, it went down below $26,000 yet again. Well, the good thing though is that we've seen a massive upward movement after that 2 massive downward movement caused by the Silvergate issue as well as the SVB issue.

This massive upward movement that happen just yesterday might have a small downward movement, but this is a good sign already for Bitcoin. It just shows that the bull are in control again. Bitcoin to $30,000? I guess in a few months, we can see it going to that price. Just wait and see.

I guess as long as both parties will accept to use Bitcoin as their payment method then there's no problem to it, and you can buy literally anything. I mean it's the same a few thousand years ago where both parties agreed to a note that this note is worth something. It's the same with Bitcoin.

As for Bitcoin being a bank, I don't know if I'm dumb, but I can't think on how Bitcoin can be a bank. Yes it's considered as a store of value, but banks have a centralized authority that is operating the bank itself while Bitcoin doesn't have.

I've been gambling in an online website for some time already, and TBH, I didn't bother to visit their Terms and Conditions, or FAQ's whatever it is. Even I'm a newbie, I didn't visit or read this one, and I'm pretty sure that the newbies are doing the same.

This quote isn't applied only for the newbies, but also for the gamblers who are gambling on their website for a long time. I mean I'm pretty sure that there are some long time gamblers out there who didn't even have a time to read their rules and regulations. What gamblers are thinking more is the potential profits that they can make rather than the security or the TOS of the website, and when the worst thing happens with them, they will post a scam accusation here, or they will rant somewhere else, and will share their story.

At the end of the day, this quote still isn't helpful for newbies if they don't know how to control themselves whenever they're gambling.

That's why if the Warriors will play like this until the playoffs, at least they might chase the 4th seed so that they can have at least 1 game home court advantage.

On the other hand, I'm also thinking, they are playing like this without their 2 best defenders playing in Wiggins and GPII. We know how good them in what they can do in the court. Wiggins is a good defender, and we've seen it in the last NBA Finals where he guarded Tatum, and he's a reliable offensive player as well. GPII on the other hand isn't as efficient as Wiggins, but he can shoot threes as well, and an elite defender as well.

Aside from the 2 of them, let's not credit Kuminga who stepped up on his performance on his 2nd year as a pro. Dude played really well when Curry was out, and it's just unfortunate that he also experience the same thing KD did during the warm-ups. Overall, the Warriors is still a good team looking at their roster. Like you, I'm also excited watching them playing on their home, but I just hope they will make some adjustments when they are playing on the road.

Didn't put much bet this time, and only bet on the Bucks winning on the road against the Suns. Giannis will play (as he isn't in the injuries list), and we know how formidable they are. The top team in the league currently, and they just won on the road against another top team in Kings.

Looks like the Lakers are rolling on the road as they are currently leading by almost 30 points on the road against them.
After a career night by Trey Murphy, and a huge home win against the Blazers, here they are down on their home.

As for the Nuggets, they are yet down again on the road against the Raptors by 20 points. I think there's a problem with the team that the public doesn't know. 

The answer's in the first page. Not an admin/moderator I guess, but part of their management team.

Days before the nationwide lockdown happen in our country, we already gathered some goods that is enough for us to eat for at least a month or two. Good thing though that we have a nearby store so that we can just get anything that we need. We also have emergency funds at that time, so we used it to buy the goods, and our source of income never stopped because my work at that time didn't stop fortunately, and I'm still getting monthly income.

TBH, I'm not affected by the pandemic at all, or at least the lockdown issue because even before the pandemic started, I'm not going out that much already. We also have enough food at that time, and maybe the fact that we are living in a provincial area made us even safer. On the other hand, I saw online these people who are struggling to find some food and money. Many people begging on the streets asking for help coming from the government. Many people are having a hard time to the point that there are times where they aren't eating, or if they'll eat, it's only once a day.

The pandemic that happened a few years really taught us a lesson. Lesson to have some emergency funds in case things like this happen. I can say that I'm lucky that I'm not affected that much at least financially, but emotionally a little bit because it's really hard to see some people struggling at that time, but there's nothing that I can do to help.

There are many factors as to why this happens.
Hard work, dedication to what they're doing etc. etc. Right now, the rich are more privileged compare to the poor, but they worked hard for it. Rich know what they will do to their money, and what to do to maintain it. On the other hand, the poor don't know doesn't have any financial literacy that's why they don't know how to use their money to make them out of their current state.

Nope.
The best example is Jack Ma. He worked hard as an employee and often times, he is being rejected when he applies, but he didn't stop there. He worked hard until he reached his goal of being a successful businessman. Another one is the owner of KFC. The owner of one of the most successful malls here in our country. The list goes on and on. All of the rich now didn't start as rich. Some of them just worked hard and dedicated their life just to be a rich, and successful person.

Many of the successful people right now started as a poor person. I still remember the story of the person who is just a shoemaker when he is just a kid until he is the owner of one of the most successful malls in our country. It all comes to, hard work, your goal and how you will achieve it. I mean there's nothing impossible right now. Some rich now dedicated their whole life when they are young to their goal until they reached it.
