It was a good game, both teams are exchanging 3 point shots in the last minutes of the game, the goal tending and then overturned the call, which was big for the 76ers. However, we can already tell that the Bucks are dictating the tempo, they make some good plays and therefore they deserve that win.
Correct, it was a good game, we might say that it is a playoff atmosphere. Sixers took the lead behind but it was not a lead that is safe as the Bucks keeps coming back. And when Giannis found his game, it was a matter of time that he will carry the Bucks on his shoulder again. And not only in offense, but that very important block shot and prevent the Sixers to force the game into overtime.
It was definitely not a goaltending, the ball was still going up and it did not hit the rim or the backboard which are the reasons why it could be a goaltending. I do not have a dog in this fight, I do not care about neither team so I can clearly say with objective eyes that it wasn't a goaltending.

However, it is also important to say that both teams are looking great for the playoffs, if they play at this level, it is easy to see at least one of these teams in the finals. Both are trying to avoid nets because even though they could beat them, it would be hard to face such a difficult team early on and be so tired to go on after that.

Ruble continues to recover which isn't really surprising since Putin most probably predicted this and planned various measures to counter these issues. This power hungry maniac didn't decide to invade Ukraine on a whim.

He probably planned to execute it once the pandemic effect decreased. Ruble definitely suffered a lot because of his actions, but I don't think it will lead to a Russian economic collapse.
I believe that he didn't "predicted" something to get better, he just knew that he had what the world wanted and that's what he relied on. The whole world knows it, and this is a long term solution. Ruble will recover when the sanctions are off, maybe even be better than what it used to be because it would show the world how powerful and needed they are.

However, it is definitely not a good long term deal. This war showed the world that it would be wiser to find alternatives to Russia's energy production, and every nation is doing their best, it will take years, maybe a decade before anyone can be independent in that sense, but the doom for the long term already started for Russia.

the rallies usually last about two months,
that means, that if we are already in a rally, we could have a new ATH for May-June, and end of the rise.

We won't really know until it happens, however, the steeper the climb, the more likely it will be the last climb, and chances are it will end in May-June.

Correct, in 2013 it was 2 months, but in 2017 it was more. Who knows how it will be now, if we break maximums.

Simply in May-June a cycle appears (281 days), which can be maximum or minimum. But cycles change.
The crashes happen in a few days though, they stay for months but they happen quickly. It is usually like 100 bucks to 200 bucks in 2 months, then back to 100 bucks in 2 days, stay at 100 bucks for the other 58 days, then again to 200 bucks in 2 months. So, when the crash happens it happens very quickly and then it stays there because people are afraid to buy back.

This means that either we are going to go high for 2 more months and reach maybe even a new ATH who knows? Or maybe we could drop to a lower and lower level and be a lot worse than we should, maybe even under 35k levels again. I am not sure which one will happen, but that is usually the path we take.
1904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 29, 2022, 08:32:03 PM
Sevilla is one of the strong teams this season in La Liga and of course Sevilla will carry out a mission to maintain their position in second place in the La Liga standings, the match will of course be quite fierce because the two teams have quite different missions, Sevilla are trying to maintain their position while barcelona are trying to take second place, but I think the match will be relatively more balanced and as you said maybe sevilla will try to defend and aim for 1 point at home to barcelona.
Sevilla is not bad, they are a good team but they are right now overhyped because of being second. I have to say them being second is a big testimony on how bad Barcelona was at the start of the season. If we check the last 5-10 games, I am sure that Barcelona is doing far better than not only sevilla but probably even Real Madrid. This is why sevilla is second right now, they would have been third most likely.

And being third in la liga is such a small feat that every team tastes that once in a while, not frequently, but not a big achievement. ATM seems like the third biggest name in la liga, but nobody would be able to name the fourth best team to be fair, because it changes and this year it was Sevilla who got that chance and luckily enough on a bad year of Barcelona and ATM.
1905  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A few key points distinguishing traders from gamblers on: March 29, 2022, 07:01:15 PM
like when we play a dice game, we cant simply bet and roll the dice at the default settings or multiplier which is 2x because most of the times we can lose in an instant but a skilled gambler will modify the setting and use a different multiplier to lessen the risk of losing and to greatly increase his chance of winning but no matter how you follow your start, losing is sometimes unavoidable and the same thing can happen to a high skilled trader, they can experience to lose too even if they are not completely gambling or relying on luck.

All of us know the difference between the gambler and the trader but we sometimes relate one another because they have similarities.
That is what the regular good trader would do as well. They would arrange a strategy that would perfectly fit for their goals and characters and they would focus on that but not only do that forever, but also improve that and change it according to market requirements of the day as well.

A bad one will find something (like martingale) and then copy that and try to do that forever until they lose all of their money and then complain that the game is rigged. A good trader also knows, and not predicts by the way literally knows, that there are losses in trading and anticipates that, which would result with you having a bit of a good return eventually.
1906  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where do daytraders store their crypto? on: March 29, 2022, 09:01:42 AM
I traded cryptocurrencies using Binance exchange and I stored all my coins in the exchange wallet in form of a stable coin after successfully executed a trade e.g USDT meanwhile I traded some of profits using P2P to fiat and sent directly into my bank account, I knew how risky it is to store or hodl my coins in the exchange wallet because some of these exchanges are prone to hacking, though I am still trading with small amount of funds, however if I earn huge profits daily I would transfer all profits into my private wallet on daily basis even with a high transaction fees.
I use BUSD but I basically do the same thing. I do small trades, usually deal with long term investments and I have to say that it has been a very clear thing for me when we are talking about how I could trade only small amounts but still even on long terms I could use Binance. People are talking crazy when they are saying you should keep your money in your wallet or something like that.

I mean why would I do that when Binance is better at it and their entire multi-billion dollar business relies on the fact that they could keep my money safe? Trade there all you want, you could lose your money from bad trades, but I highly doubt it would be from them not paying you.
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 28, 2022, 08:55:20 PM
But Liverpool will not allowed get loss from Manchester City exactly on important match and have chance back as lead on Primer League, both team still have several week later against each other, they still need focus get 3 points on next match where Liverpool have match against with Watford and Manchester City vs Burnley. Not any time for keep enjoying games after 1 point left between Manchester City and Liverpool, both team will get all points on left match before final match as 1st standing position on 10th April.
Easy games will be easy games, these teams did not become at the top like this on the world's biggest league by losing to lower level teams on important matches. Sure that could happen time to time but not when it matters this much.

The most important game will be the LFC vs City game and whatever happens there, will be the biggest result for the rest of the season. I do not think that they have to even lose any of the other games neither, there is seriously a possibility of winning every single game for one team, and just losing that game for the other and still beating all the other teams. Not saying that will happen, but they are THAT good.
1908  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin touched $43k, from $33k in two weeks on: March 28, 2022, 07:42:39 PM
We will see how far the war will go and how it will affect crypto in general.

So far there is none or at least the effect is for short term only, but there is no buying from the investors because maybe they have chosen to invest or other assets like gold and oil.

Very early to tell how the price will go this year, half of me says that we are in a bear market, but there's part of me hoping that at least the price will go to $50k-$60k.
The war will go on for a little while and Russia knows this, Ukraine fears it as well. The longer it goes on, the less people care about the war, even right now you do not see it on the news every single day.

This should be something obvious to people because it means that people will not be able to keep their attention on this war forever and that means we are talking about Russia eventually having weaker and weaker opponents for sure. This doesn't mean that we should not be expecting it to go on forever, but the longer it goes the better for Russia and that means we are talking about getting a better result for crypto in general for sure.
1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 27, 2022, 09:58:38 PM
changing coaches will not make PSG win the Champions League. Because PSG since 2012 have tried to replace their coach with a popular coach. But none of the coaches have succeeded in making PSG win the Champions League trophy, when Laurent Blanc was PSG coach from 2013 to 2016, he managed to give 11 trophies and became the most successful PSG coach. Of the 11 trophies there is no Champions League trophy, so it's not because of a coach problem that made PSG fail to win the Champions League trophy.
I am not entirely sure. Of course just one coach would not change a lot, they need to retain Mbappe or get someone at that level. The talks have been about Salah, and truth be told they could pay for Salah for sure, they have that much money without a doubt. If they could Salah, and maybe like one scorer, that would be insane for them.

At left wing Neymar, at right win Salah, at behind striker Messi, and a decent level striker (not even like Haaland, just a good one is enough) would mean that they would be able to use Zidane to win UCL. I know it wouldn't be easy, but they will certainly be doing better under Zidane than how they did with Pochettino.
Zidane managed to win like 1-2 la liga titles, super cup of spain, 3 UCL!! cups, uefa super cup and fifa club world cup twice. I mean we are talking about "a manager change" of course but at the same time there is a good amount of difference between the two coaches. What does pochettino have? Sure a few ligue 1 titles and all but that is really not good enough, not good enough at all.

Zidane is both french, so that should help, and one of the best managers with that much little games played. Unless that was just pure luck for him, then he would be insanely well here. The difference is big enough that just one manager change could make a big difference.

Try going to coinmarketcap to have a good look before you ask here, it's better for you because too many free options here will confuse you.
But if I had an opinion, I would choose SHIB for a coin with a lot of zeros. As we know SHIB has a pretty strong community, also its already traded in the big markets like Binance and Huobi, so I think SHIB will grow if he has the chance in the next few years
I have never seen someone give a good advice about why you should not listen to their bad advice Cheesy. All jokes aside, just because SHIB has a lot of zeros, doesn't mean that it would be a good coin that could go up. What people need to learn is to check the market cap, if there is a coin with .000000000001 cent value, doesn't mean that it will become "even if just 1 dollars" and make you rich, because the market cap would make it tens of trillions of dollars.

Same thing applies to shiba, if it becomes 1 dollars, it would be bigger than all of the stock markets of the world, that is not going to happen with a memecoin for sure. CMC is better, not checking here was a good advice
1911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 26, 2022, 09:31:37 PM
What Barcelona has achieved is very satisfying, both club officials and fans. The next target is to win the Europa League to get an Automatic ticket in the Champions League next season. Finishing in 2nd or 3rd place is enough for Barcelona this season, as it is no longer possible to catch up with Real Madrid. Xavi became the most influential figure for the rise of Barcelona, ​​his first season would be a success if he managed to add to the collection of the Europa League trophy in Barcelona's cupboard and finish in the top 4 of the standings.
I would assume that they would become second (and even if they become fourth) which would mean that they would go to champions league anyway, they do not need to win europa in order to go to champions league next season.

They could still win europa, which would be nice, but not just to secure a ticket to UCL next season or anything like that they would do that to have that cup on their trophy case. I do not know if they have any, I mean as far as I can remember they have always been in UCL for the past many years, which is why I always assumed that they never got one, it would be a funny way to remember their "worst" season with a cup.
1912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this a start of bull rally in ALTCOIN? on: March 26, 2022, 03:26:14 PM
For the last two days you see 23 and 24 March 2022 you are seeing a huge increase in the price of altcoin. Currently btc is also performing very well. It seems that by April 2022, altcoin has started bull rally. And that looks set to last until the end of 2022. Let me know what you think.
Yes. There is a possibility that in April the coin price will increase again although not as high as throughout 2021. This analysis has been discussed many times, but has not found official information. The popes have not disclosed this publicly.
Obviously not as high as 2021 because altcoins are still recovering but do you think they cant be as high as 2021 once they fully recovered before the end of march or by the start of April? they can because we have lots of months remaining till we end this year. Last year when did the price start to increase?

I guess that was not April but later than it, so this year can be better than last year. Coins this year simply have a lot of room to grow and just because this has been discussed many times, does it mean the result is still going to be the same? no that's not how it works. Price doesn't stay the same forever but at some point they will need to break out.
1913  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto users in Africa grew by 2,500% in 2021: Report on: March 25, 2022, 12:33:24 PM
I think crypto is the perfect concept for Africa and it makes sense there more than most other places. It is a region where access to the internet, banking or even power can be difficult to access at times. They have large populations which receive money from overseas and want to keep exchange fees to a minimum. They have the option to use exchanges for storage or might even want to keep a physical copy available in their possession - outside the hands of any potential corrupt officials. It makes absolute sense for this continent to grow even more usage.
That is right. We all can remember the protest that took place in one of the countries, Nigeria. And how the protesters decided to switch to cryptocurrency when they notice that the government has started to tackle their efforts. With Bitcoin they were all able to achieve a lot during the protest and were able to raise up a lot of funds through donations that were carried out on social media using crypto currency (Bitcoin).

If there was nothing like Bitcoin, their government would be able to easily shut down whatever protest or activities that were going on in the country. And this is also the same thing we saw that happened in Canada as of recent, during the protest people were able to raise up money for the protests using Bitcoin, after the government has tried to block them from making use of Fiat.
1914  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You don't need to hodl a particular coin all your life on: March 25, 2022, 09:48:06 AM
Definitely not what benefit we got holdings coins for lifetime. This is not necessary that everytime any coin will come better with time. Our work is when we purchased any coin and market is up you should sell those coin and book profits. Many coins i seen in 2017 which price is no where at present time. So it is not a matter of holdings we should get out our profits and be a successful trader.
Not all coins are legit so not all coins can last a long time. If you know to your self that you picked up a suspicious coin that will soon do a rug pull, you should sell that coin as early as possible. That's the only way to make a profit on them but some legit coins will get better in time. It's only just a matter of hodling them.

There are coins that are from 2017 or even beyond that year that are still alive until now and some of them are now stronger compare to what they are before. When you do crypto trading almost any coins are suitable for use because when you trade you are selling them right away but sadly not all likes to do trading but most will go for hodling.
1915  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My crypto mining advice on: March 25, 2022, 06:41:59 AM
The fact is other coins will lose value once all those huge miners switch to other available coins, this will bring new bear market for miners and the weak ones will have no choice than to sell their mining machines.
Which coins are going to lose their value’, do you say that in reference to ethereum? ETH is not going to lose its value after transitioning to POS. It is still going to keep on growing in value and nothing is really going to change apart from the fact that it will no longer make use of the proof of work system.

It’s not like ethereum is the first cryptocurrency that makes use of proof of stake, there has been so many other cryptocurrencies that are making use of proof of stake before now. And they have all been increasing in value so that’s definitely going to be the same thing with ETH, it is not going to lose its value. The burning question right now is what the Miners are going to do with their GPU once Ethereum moves to PoS?
1916  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are these Altcoins worth investing? on: March 25, 2022, 04:45:30 AM
This coin is not included in my portfolio, some of the coins in are popular altcoins but I did not invest them for a reason that is better than other altcoins.
It depends on the choice whether you have kept it for a long time? I know Tron has been chosen a lot but for me this coin is difficult to bullish so it is a bit slow in my opinion the movement in the market.

For the OP, do research, and what percentage of your investment will be allocated, this will make it easier for you to manage it.
Tron is a great deal for using the network but not the coin itself. Like for example if you want to send USDT to someone, using TRC20 version would be a lot cheaper, nearly free and you could send them thousands of dollars easily. This is what they are good for, any project that has a wrapped version of a coin that you could use in the TRC20 network could be great.

But, just because you could use their network, doesn't mean you should use their coin neither. Aside from that I agree with your assessment, doing your own research instead of asking people is a lot better, people just shill their favorites, and do not give proper answers.
1917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 24, 2022, 09:21:59 PM
I was not surprised if the Warriors are going to win, what surprises me is the run they have to do in order to take the lead and increased it in the 4th quarter.

And we have been criticizing Wiggins in his last game, but it seems he get back on track in this games against a tough team with 22 points. Kuminga though played good as well as he is the only one keeping them in the game for the first 2 quarters.
The problem with Wiggins is not that he plays bad or good, dude is an all-star, he could play well we all know that. The problem is that Warriors have a style and they play that way. If he keeps up playing like that for a long time, that's fine because he would fit in the system.

However, if he plays differently from the style and plays the way he used to in Wolves, then it would be a problem even if he has a great game individually. He needs to realize that even Curry is a cog in a machine in this system, whenever he gets worse, someone else takes over. So Wiggins needs to not only play well, but also learn to play well within the system.
1918  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stay away from crypto influencers on: March 24, 2022, 07:00:14 PM
Indeed. These influencers are earning money through their videos and not because they are concern for us to invest in a worthy coins.
Those influencer's promotes none reasonable coins and at times they will not know the potential of the coins before promoting them, one of disadvantages of this crypto influencer is they help scammers to sell their tokens, so is wise enough to check the coin you want to invest before investing, the video of crypto influencer is not preferable evidence to shown that a project is good, because they are paid for any of their act.
That is how they become influencers to begin with. Give me 10k right now, and I can get you an account with 100k+ followers easily, maybe even 200k+ people. How? I would simply do 100 bucks giveaways all day on unrelated tokens and coins, they do not have to be good, I could do great ones too like btc, eth, bnb and so forth as well time to time. In between those giveaways, I will do my own ideas as well and talk about what I believe but that would be only to look real and not for increasing the follower numbers.

I have tested this before with $10, I did 5 giveaways and I reached 500+ people so easily, took me like a week. Becoming influencer is literally the easiest thing in the world. I would suggest picking a nationality and doing in that language, helps out a lot.

He renewed his contract until 2026 I think for 50m/year to prevent the cut for a possible salary cap.

So I can tell you at least 200 million reasons for what he will be not unhappy at all.
At these levels 50 million is not a bad number but also not really impossible to get neither. This is the latest champion of the world right now, and if he wants to use that in another team he could have. Imagine a scenario where Ferrari got Max AND Charles on the same team, very young racers that could achieve so many championships for Ferrari for so many years.

Of course he wouldn't leave right after a championship, I get that, but the idea that 50 million is unique to RBR is a bit of a wrong statement. This guy could have been paid 50 million even by Haas, because he would bring in that much money and would be profitable for the team anyway.

Hello,
Can anyone introduce a list of alcoins with some zeros (0.000...) that have a good potential for 2022?
there are so many coins that have a price of some zeros, and the most promising one is APENFT,

APENFT has been listed on a large market, Kucoin, Huobi and even Poloniex, of course this is a very good opportunity to buy APENFT,
because one APENFT price is still cheap and the second the potential for listing on Binance is still great, hope it helps
Dude, I would suggest you to stay away from these meme stuff that are there only to pump the pockets of the creators. I do not know if you have any affiliates with them or not, I do not know if shilling it would help you and that is why you do it or not. But, I will assume that you are just another person they managed to convince and the best case for you right now would be to stay away from them as much as possible.

There will always be these type of hyped shitcoins and the best thing that you could right now would be to stay away from them as much as possible. I am not saying that it would be a shitcoin right away, but it will get there eventually for sure.
