Dominant Game 3 win from Bucks tonight. Does anyone think this will flip to be a "Giannis" series and Suns are just fortunate he came from a hyperextended knee that made him a bit uncomfortable to what could have been a dominate Game 1 performance from him? I mean the Suns had no answer to stop him tonight when Ayton got in foul trouble and it looks like homecourt will be a huge factor in this series. Bucks shut down Booker. Suns had a run led by Cam Johnson but Bucks impressively able to deny any momentum shift because of Giannis' play below the rim. This is going to be an interesting series if Ayton remains in foul trouble. Steady dose of Chris Paul pick and roll are killing the Bucks but they may have found out a way to exploit how to punish them in the paint. Looking forward to Game 4.
Could be but I witness the Suns dominate the game whenever their transition plays are successful.
When they start controlling the pace of the game it will be the end for the Bucks until the 4th.
That's why I think the Bucks need to stop all those rhythms that will happen. Slow down the game and let Giannis decide how fast or slow the speed of the game will be.
Booker is pretty good whenever the defense is not yet set and so does CP3. But when every guard is active he is having a hard time looking for an opening especially when Jrue is defending him.

Damn, sorry for your loss.
This is the reason why we need to learn more about security measures first before we even have the idea of buying it.
Sure the volatility is high and you can profit fast but damn, if everything will be gone in a blink then I'd rather not jump every precautionary step that had been said in this forum and outside over and over again.
If it's phishing you will need someone that could trace your footsteps or just accept that it's gone. Good luck and learn from it.

Competition's between Bucks and Suns is steaming really!
Antetokounmpo put his golden mark on the Bucks' Game 3 victory with 41 points and 13 rebounds. He's taking away from him any comparison with MJ but the guy is simply stellar!
Bucks, with him at full speed, can smash the Suns: only two weeks ago we almost believed that his season was over: look at him now!
40+ points per game after a comeback from a hyperextended knee. It was a scary look but damn he managed to be back with just a week of rest.
I say this man will do more in the next years of the NBA. A champion or not every team will be offering him something huge that the Bucks need to equal with.

I am more worried about his wingmen. They need to keep up with what is Giannis is trying to achieve and support him in every way possible they can.
I still didn't see Middleton at his best performance but thankfully, Jrue's consistency is never fading.

It's the other way around my friend.
Altcoins have a larger risk than Bitcoin. The difference is just too high now.
What you are more worried about now is the expensive price of it, but are you willing to risk thousands of dollars for altcoin with cents of a dollar in value?
That's my own speculation and that's also the main reason why all these meme coins are growing in numbers of support, or we could say growing in number of greedy people about money and not about its feature.
You could choose Ethereum and BNB. Those coins look more promising than any other coins.
1905  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: China says no to miners mean something else on: July 11, 2021, 04:12:59 PM
I don't believe that's all the reason behind it.
It's a big country and all their rules and regulations must be for all and not individually.
It also has nothing to do with making people millionaires.

IMO, it must be because people don't understand the risk they are taking and they don't want that to happen to most of their countrymen. Or, they just want their new digital currency to be used more rather than the unknown.
1906  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is cryptocurrency bullish in the long-term on: July 11, 2021, 04:16:31 AM
They're optimistic because they recognize most traditional currencies that are bound by government are due to fail because of irresponsible spending and corruption. There is no brains to profit from BTC. you buy in, wait until larger currencies begin to destabilize, and boom - your BTC is worth more than it was tomorrow. For some, it's not optimism, it's just accepting the harsh reality that paper currency is worth something because the government tells us it is. And we should trust the government why?
Indeed. I think most of our old men are stuck on that kind of view. Traditional view.
Even if they don't trust the government, it's just the simplest way to invest with no trouble which is wrong.

Investments should always have their risk. Bitcoin has risk, no doubt.
But, it had been years and it's still getting more valuable so I guess that answers how much risk were lowered because of the trust that is obtained from its followers. Here's the good part, it's growing.
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 11, 2021, 03:33:34 AM
Holiday has 21 attempts and made 7 only (33.33%)
Middleton has 16 attempts and made 5 only (31.25)
Bad night indeed but shouldn't be always the case as they are in the Finals right now. As far as my research goes, the majority of those attempts are contested that maybe contribute to their worst shooting that night. But these 2 players should be used to it now.
Most of CP3 and Booker's shots were also contested, it's just better offense that's why they can still make it.
Both guards of the Bucks need that consistency in shooting percentage.
If they can't, then let the play go to Lopez if they are going for outside shots or Tucker.
Those guys always have an open shot and if they can start a good rhythm it may go hot.
The Bucks have a chance to win but they need every play to be accurate and avoid bad shots or better, avoid 3 point shots.

Suns weakness is the painted area, if they can put Ayton in foul trouble it will be an easy 2 for every possession.
1908  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How crypto currency change your Life? on: July 10, 2021, 01:56:48 PM
It helped a lot with my options of investing.
Right now, my investment is either Bitcoin and some altcoins or just cash in my safety box or under my clothes.
No banks, no other investment options that are being offered every time thru e-mails.
It relieved me from all the stress of picking the right choice because most of them just give a little profit.
Now, it became a lot better.
1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 10, 2021, 11:41:13 AM
^^^
Love the analysis.
It was really Middleton who was not answering for every attack the Suns will make.
I don't think he lacks confidence but he just lost it. 5/16 shooting and 1/6 from the outside will make you doubt yourself.
But, that is not how a superstar does things. Steph Curry did shoot 0/10 before from the first half and will not even care and still end it with 15/30.
That's how stars are being trusted by their teammates and they won't care how bad your start is as long as you finish it strong.  
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 10, 2021, 08:40:23 AM
Middleton got to bring that A Game again in game 3, it's the most important game for them in the series so they'll not be sweep by the Suns. We know,  Suns have done that already in the playoffs by eliminating the Nuggets by 4-0, and I'm afraid that I will again see the kind of struggle the Bucks had in the past playoffs.
If he has an "S" class game then he should use that because this Suns team is not fooling around.
All their eyes are on the Finals trophy and they're all hungry to take it as fast as possible even with a sweep and winning in Bucks homecourt.
CP3 especially which had been playing a lot of playoffs and Conference Finals but had now experienced a debut on the Finals game will throw every skill he has to end the Bucks.
1911  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Question for bitcoin traders !!! on: July 10, 2021, 05:38:09 AM
so it is true that there is an unknown mind burden in it that make it difficult for us not to stare at the monitor, especially when price are dump.
I do this every time as long as I am awake especially when the price moves in thousands of dollars.
I can't let go of my eyes just looking at the monitor and most of the time it stresses my eyes where it blinks without my control.

Maybe it's some type of small panic. I am nervous that the market won't go as I want it or predicted to happen and afraid I might lose more than just my expectation. You can't stop it or let's say it will not be easy, for the volatility will stay.
What I do, try to get out of my house in just one moment, breathe some good air and relax. I mean, there is really nothing you can do with a market that no one can control.
1912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 09, 2021, 04:59:16 PM
The Bucks made only 9 out of 31 3-pointers, and I guess it was the main reason for their defeat in this game. Also, it worth noting that Giannis had problems with free throws(61%), and he could have scored seven more points. If he had made all free throws, it probably would have influenced the outcome of the match. Anyway, the upcoming game will be critical for the Bucks, and they must win it.
Yes and this time no fans will count while Giannis is making a free throw or someone will also throw a punch at that person.  Grin
It's Middleton that I was hoping to create those three-point shots.
Again, he is showing his inconsistency just when they needed it the most.
All we can do now is wait for him to unleash his beastly performance and maybe that's when we could see some light that a sweep won't happen.
1913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 09, 2021, 10:56:35 AM
I don’t think anyone really expected Phoenix to go ‘Suns in four’ against Giannis and company. That’s what it is looking like we may see though. Giannis is clearly not at 100%. It’s too bad that he had to suffer an injury right before his chance to become one of only three players to get an MVP, DPOY & FMVP. The other two… Hakeem and Michael Jordan. 
I think it started with the Suns in four slogan against the Nuggets. And then the same with the Clippers although Clippers fought back. And since they are now up 2-0, possible that a sweep in the finals against the Bucks unless Giannis and company found the blueprint to stop Booker and Chris Paul to at least win one game at home. Maybe he is close to 100% but he is needs help. Khris Middelton and Jrue Holiday came up big against the Hawks but seems can't find the rhythm against the Suns.
It cost them a lot when they focused too much on Booker and CP3.
Jrue can make it happen but what about the other players? It seems like they forgot they also needed to defend the other Suns players.
Mikal Bridges with 27 points. This guy never goes beyond 20 points in the whole playoffs series.
The counter-attack of the Bucks became a trap for themselves. Counter being countered by the Suns coach.
He knew they will try to stop both offensive players of the team while they didn't know someone else will shine.
I can say Coach Monty is good at what he is doing.
1914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 21 July is going to big for btc price? on: July 09, 2021, 07:44:19 AM
Ain't that crueler to the Bitcoin community?
He bought Bitcoin without knowing about it then he strikes it and advertised a meme coin after.
Now he wants to know more about it? Are we really going to let this guy play everything in his hands?
Sure he is a billionaire and his money will be a big help when invested with Bitcoin but that is not the real purpose of Bitcoin.
I'd rather see him stay with meme coins and destroy them all by his manipulative acts.
1915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 09, 2021, 05:30:19 AM
Bucks won!!!  Grin Just kidding.
Giannis somehow found his offense tonight. Just need some help. Middleton is still not himself while Jrue already doing his part.
Maybe he will regain his confidence when they go back home to Milwaukee on Game 3.
They already did great defense with CP3 and Booker, they are just better offensively and discovered a new option with Mikal Bridges. They focused too much on the 2 superstars and forgot the roleplayers. One more, Jae Crowder.
1916  Economy / Economics / Re: At least it was something great on: July 08, 2021, 03:31:35 PM
That's nice to read about.
Most people right now will just remember you when they see Bitcoin spike.  Grin
Asking if you are still into Bitcoin or not. Then they will try to be nice again and borrow some money.
Yes, I know, while you are reading this you have thought of your friend that still has an existing loan from you.

Kidding aside, I like to think that way. I am there, I still have the proof, I have my Bitcoins in my stash and if it doesn't have a value anymore then so be it. I am happy I once supported something that made me a better person right now and made me change how to see things in the financial industry. That should be enough reason.

1917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: July 08, 2021, 08:03:23 AM
Not sure about the defense of Jrue, but it seems that Paul has just continued his performance from the last game in the Clippers close out, to game 1 championship against the Bucks.
I am amazed at how Jrue defended CP3 but he is just better and experienced.
The thing is, the Suns always force a switch because CP3 is having a hard time with Jrue. He needs Middleton to be in front of him or Lopez to make a score.

He started slow, but then again get into the groove and penetrating and dishing out 9 assists, close enough to what I have predicted. So he didn't play the decoy, he took matters into his own hand. IF they win the series, CP3 will gave the MVP finals here.
I am sure he will be and Booker won't be butthurt about it. He is a veteran that is respected by most of the players and he did so much for the Suns to get on this point. The Finals.
He will be happy for him and maybe even tell him he deserves all of it.
Game 2 later, ready your bets, and good luck.
1918  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BNB has tokens for each Altcoin on: July 08, 2021, 02:33:05 AM
It's called wrapped tokens.

But, if you want to keep the real altcoin or real Bitcoin you will need to exchange it for something without the "W".
I think they use this method to prevent failure of providing with that certain coin/token especially if there is a low total supply.

Lower fees and transaction time is fast because you are just using the Binance chain in this example.

Thanks for the clear explanation. Previously I thought (wrapped) coin is a kind of hard fork coin. so wrapped is a kind of temporary alternative for some coins ? I think this is actually good because it makes it easier to turn BSC and ETH transactions to other coins with a minimum fee on BSC.
Yes, that's the right word "temporary". I was looking for that word when I was writing my reply but forgot about it.  Cheesy
You don't want to be keeping this kind of coin for the long term. Its usage is just for the exchange to keep the profit flowing at a faster pace.
I think it's wise for Binance to make such a feature but it confuses a lot of traders at first. A thorough explanation should be written or a warning whenever a person purchases it.
1919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 07, 2021, 04:43:20 PM
Crowder is more familiar with Giannis and aside from that Ayton also have the same length to help and slow Giannis dominance inside,

while with how Suns prepares for this game, we've seen them really find the open man, those points keeps coming from different players, Putting Bucks in  a lots problem defending the open man. Chris Paul's leaderships really make it more easier for Booker and Ayton.
Crowder. Oh, that guy really did well guarding Giannis. At first, I thought he will be the one to be fouled out when I saw Giannis back but the aggressiveness of Giannis is still not there. Hesitation. He may look good at different sides and his jumps but the mental instability coming from an injury will not go away that easily.
That's why we need Game 2 to confirm that. Is he really that okay just because of his springy jumps or he is still having problems with the scare of the injury going back.
1920  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Cryptocurrency is best for long term investment? on: July 07, 2021, 03:02:38 PM
Bitcoin had always been my priority when it comes to purchasing cryptocurrencies.
Don't even need to think twice, I just do it. But, when it comes to altcoins it always gives me a difficult time to pick.
Ethereum is the next priority, but when its price goes up, I tend to doubt if I need to buy it or just go back to investing it with Bitcoin with a higher chance of profit.
After those two it's way more confusing.  Cheesy
