Kawhi Leonard has dropped out of the Olympics for Team USA. Can’t say this is out of character. I’m sure he expected the same sort of treatment he gets in the NBA and likely didn’t receive special treatment to miss practices and games… So he decided to use this time to get ready for the upcoming season… Who will be his replacement?
It's said to be Derrick White. So, we're going to have 3 players from the Boston Celtics and all of them are key players. Another interesting topic is that why Jaylen Brown isn't included despite winning conference and finals MVP. To be honest, I'm surprised by this last minute call off by Kawhi. I believe Jaylen Brown is going to have offseason surgery, but I only glanced at the news article that I saw the news in. That would explain his absence though. I'm shocked that they went with Derrick White. They did need another point guard in my opinion, but Derrick White wouldn't have been on the short list. Maybe everyone else had vacation plans already lined up... I'm not surprised at Kawhi's exit. I was surprised he attempted to play on Team USA. They Olympics have a tendency to treat NBA players like regular athletes at times and Kawhi doesn't seem like the kind of guy who is willing to deal with that. I don't know much about that with Kawhi but he seems to be active during the practice and then begged off afterwards. As for Jaylen, I see. So, that's the reason probably that he's considered but then with his condition, he can't fully commit. Kawhi Leonard has dropped out of the Olympics for Team USA. Can’t say this is out of character.

I'm not, kawhi really isn't the player everyone remembers. He doesn't play as much of the season that he needs to be effective for his team. Don't know the circumstances but the Clippers could have ended it for him. Without kawhi the Clippers are cooked so he needs as much rest on that body as he can get. Is it out why he left yet? And he said IIRC, he's not surprised that Paul George is out of the Clippers and moved to the other teams. Anyway, that was a good game against Canada. |

Life should always be balanced in all aspects. Yes, you need money but you also need to feel genuine happiness and peace of mind, and that will only happen if you manage to live your life without focusing on greed and life's material things.
This is true. Life is too short not to enjoy it. We earn money for our needs but don't forget to enjoy the hard work that you do. That is one lesson that I've learned. What if we die tomorrow? we earned that much and held Bitcoin for so long not to enjoy it but only for our funeral? People might say that this is exaggeration, no it's not. And this is the reality that everyone needs to understand about life. |

We're all open to do investments, offline and/or online. But in both sides of it, people need to be careful of the scam investments that are circulating around.
It can be introduced by a friend of yours, a relative that you've known for a long time or just some random strangers. And we need to distinguish the difference of trading and investing.
Both of them are risky but there is lesser risk with investing. A newbie trader can learn from his losses and the same goes to a newbie investor. But with investing, you can be passive.

I don't think that these kids and teens are being funded by their parents. Just like me in the past, I snatch money of my parents to do stuff that I like since I don't have a job and I don't have money to do it.
So, I think that most of them are doing that. Getting their parents money without their knowledge for them to be able to gamble.
The parents task is vital with how they're going to understand that gambling at a young age is risky for their growth because they might be used to it.
Teens today are aware of Venmo Teen accounts, it's all they need and they can fund themselves already by asking for some digital USD from their parents. Parents are unaware of what the teen may do to the money and as a sort of pocket money for a student they give money. Teens must have digital money these days, it's necessary. These teenagers don't have to steal from their parents. But this is not the problem, its if the teenagers continue to gamble using those apps and parents have no idea they are doing it. While government can help with this kind of issue along with the help of the platforms from where we can download the apps. We might just be the problem too since we advocate privacy too much. Well, I guess that I've forgot about that they're given some allowances and their parents don't know where they have actually spending it. So it means that virasog is right that they're being funded by their unaware parents. Whether the description is that they're not stealing from their parents. It only means that it's still not their parent but they are given the rights on how to spend them. |

I do not know who is the youngest gambler but one thing is for sure, we should not blame any of these kids, children and teenagers gambling online because they are being funded by their parents to do so. Gambling needs money and these young people are not at the earning stages of their life.
This means that if they are gambling, the sole responsibility of this lies with their parents and they are accountable if in future it has a bad impact on these children's education, health and more importantly habits.

IMHO, that's the start of how one can avoid all of those mistakes. Because many traders today are certainly just betting against the market.
Isnt this what trading is all about ... being smarter than the market? A huge part of trading in general is gambling, simply because no one knows how the market reacts, its all about possibilities and outcomes of the past. You just have to look at the winning rate of professionial traders like Tone Vays, they also fail in around 49% of their trades. The 2% difference is the reason why they are professionals. You're right. The smarter traders are the ones who are winning on this market. While many newbies are coming in, they're literally gambling in the market. The same goes with the forex traders thinking that they'd be rich with it. There's always the bigger part of the ones that are losing than winning. Even the professionals have their own share of having bad days in the market but still in the end, they'd win if they know the formula and how to trade properly. |

There are traders, new and old that can't accept the fact when someone says that their type of trades are a gamble.
While that becomes true when they are lack of those things and keeps on committing a wrong trade. Knowing how to read the market, fundamentals and charts.
IMHO, that's the start of how one can avoid all of those mistakes. Because many traders today are certainly just betting against the market.

Very ugly idea. While the POS coins are going to reward its holders for staking their coins. The bank will share a bit of percentage of interest they earn from their depositors. And bitcoin holders are going to be charged for a fee? If holders aren't working, the scarcity that holders provide is there which makes Bitcoin more valuable. We've got fees for confirmation and they get it from mining, they're asking for more.  |

I am no longer actively trading but whenever I lose, I get back as quick as I can but you know what happens next, another set of losses come to me.
What one active trader must do is what OP said and that's right, to review your losses and trying to skip your trades for the moment isn't going to give you much loss.
That will clear your mind and will give you a better space to think for your next trades.

Most of the rich problems aren't really about money but commoners like me would have a better life if I've got that money.
As people look at those problems from the rich and seems that they're just something to be noted for how colorful their lives are without having to worry with money.
But with most of us, the reality is we can do a lot of things with money. They might say it can't buy peace but it can give you peace and assurance that you won't be problematic about provisions tomorrow.
On the moment that you have reached that pinnacle of success on which you dont already have that problem when it comes to funds or financial aspect then usually the problem of these rich people are only pertaining into that emotional aspect or something which isnt really that could be hold or something that could be possessed but rather they would really be usually having those issues into something that pertains into those things which cant be obtained by money on which just like into those earlier responses on which they are really that actually accurate and something that it is really that happening in real life. There are indeed things on which money cant buy but for us people who are really that having that life on which we are just that depending or basing up with our day survival from our day job then of course this one would really be our main problem. That solves our problem when we've got money. However, that doesn't mean that our problems will be stopped just because of it. There are problems that won't be solved by money even if you've got a lot of it. But no doubt, that most of the problems can be easily dealt by having money. That is the reality of life and that's why if you talk to people that are struggling to make ends meet, they'd discuss mostly about money. |

A winning run is like a sugar surge. You long for more. You have to be smart here. Greed shouldnt affect judgment. Limit yourself and leave ahead of time. Its simplicity. Losing hurts. Punch gut. Allow it not to define you. Steer clear of trying to immediately recoup all losses. Doing it is terrible. What makes you successful? It transcends simply cards and dice. How important you believe things to be. Know yourself; identify your triggers, your shortcomings. One needs emotional intelligence as well as self-control. Like gambling, life consists on measured risks. Most importantly, play smart, disciplined, intellectual rather than emotional.
That is on point. It's not only winning that's like a sugar rush but gambling itself and we are getting back despite the outcomes that aren't favorable to us. The limit isn't there for most gamblers despite being aware of that. What happens is we gamble more and when we're losing, that's the capital reasoning that we're making for us to keep going until that we've lost everything. Yes, it all has to be based on good emotions, meaning self-control with something very good and of course also understand all the bad possibilities, because emotional speaking is often easily triggered by victory or even defeat in gambling which makes someone continue to gamble repeatedly, even until a crazy addiction arises that can lose everything from your life, indirectly this thread has a ban on people who have bad emotions to be controlled properly, otherwise we will lose what we already have. Well, we gotta lose what we have to lose and that's part of gambling. But it's a different thing on how we're going to react with our emotions. Because at most times, it's not that triggering to lose our bets but what's more triggering is how we react and how we handle that loss afterwards. Sometimes, reactions are too late to comprehend that we shouldn't gamble at all but then, when we think of the potential victories, it's always there and that makes us keep gambling for more. |

Funny to say but that's reality, it indeed even before LBJ went to Lakers, but for the James family they don't mind them as they still getting their paycheck especially now that Bronny sign his contracts that's sure money for him.
Yup, the hate is there from the fans that don't like them but their paycheck keep on coming for both of them. Compared to Thanasis, there are also other bench players that have gone through the championship by heating their seat on the bench. No offense, they've earned their spot and Thanasis, I don't see hate on him but pure memes.  As for Bronny, he's got a lot of time to prove his worth but no doubt that his dad influenced the draft. Yeah right, not just Thanasis but there are players who win a ring without playing they are more successful compared to those superstar who finished their careers without winning a ring achievements wise. I can remember that Deandre Jordan was also given some meme like that last year when the Nuggets won a ring. But despite that, we don't know what happens during practice game. Maybe that's how they contribute better than our thoughts. |

Fans have criticized him a lot.
Whenever he's not yet on the NBA and playing college, many were already criticizing him. Now, that he's got drafted by his pop's team, he's still being criticized.
The same as his dad, people still criticizing and hating him. I hope that people would have love for the two as they're just doing what they do.
Stop the hate, the actual season hasn't even started yet
That's the pressure when your dad is one of the greatest of all time in the largest basketball league around the world. I don't hate him personally, but you can't take the fact that there will always be people out there that will hate him for multiple reasons. Also, take note that the LA Laker fans already hated Le-GM because of how manipulative he is, and how he acts like he's the GM of the Lakers organization. That hate will also be passed to his son and it's happening already. What Bronny can do is to just ignore what others are saying and focus on his development. That's his only way of shutting down these haters. I have no hate for his son, but I have a bit of hate towards Le-GM because of how he uses his powers to make things favorable to him. Even when LBJ isn't yet on the Lakers, people hated him already. That hate is causing them too much stress for themselves. I am not feeling bad for them either with LBJ. They give him hate as much as they want while LBJ continues to work on himself and made history after histories and continues to earn as well decently. But it's true that the burden and expectation by being the son of the known and one of the greatest is there. Fans have criticized him a lot.

I understand where the hate is coming from. It is not because LeBron is his father, but because he is not deserving to be in the NBA based on his statistics in college, just like Thanasis being hated by some fans because he was on a team where he literally did nothing, LOL. I think we should not take this seriously though. They hate him in real life, but on his life as a basketball player. Without those kinds of hate and love in basketball, this league wouldn't be fun, just saying. Compared to Thanasis, there are also other bench players that have gone through the championship by heating their seat on the bench.

I guess enough for Bronny, we criticized him too much but let's give him a chance, maybe he'll make a miracle and will be able to be one of the starters, probably replacing Reaves. lol

I believe that we are going to end up with a greater result and much better life if you have money.

6sat/vb or 50 cents for a simple tx is normal now, will we see it 6 times cheaper?
I hope so. It's been so long since I've checked the fees and just because of this thread, was surprised to see it down to 6 sats/vB. How long do you think it will take to reach this target? Days, weeks, months?
I'm so optimistic I will say two weekends from now!
I don't want to guess but right now is totally fine for me and it will be better if we'd see that anytime in the next few days, months - anytime in the future. |

People are worried when Bitcoin drops a lot and we're always happy when we see it recover, finally.
Well, the market is so volatile that it goes like this and we don't know how it's going to be the next time it moves just after the drop. But we get the idea of how it goes.
So coming from a crash, it will come up and be back again at the top and hopefully this continues up to $60k and up.

Also but for sure Bucks would provably weaken their defense for letting Lopez go and we don't know what are their plans since last season they struggle on defensive ends and now they decide to trade Lopez then provably that there would be a lot of struggles to come for this team next season if they will not get a solid defender player which also can take rebound then facilitate their stars or shooters to perform well.
Trading Lopez would probably open some opportunities for them to get another big man. I don't know what their plans are but they won't just trade him for nothing. So, it's with the first round pick but we can have that guess that he'll be replaced by another big man. Additionally, he is not injury-prone, so he would really help give Davis some relief and help prevent Davis from getting injured easily. It will not be Jokic vs. Davis because Brook Lopez could guard Jokic while Davis could be the second defender. So, I think it's a great decision if they can acquire him, and yes I agree that they'll be a championship team once again.
That's a nice addition if they'll be able to sign Lopez so that Davis will surely be that second defender and free to move compared to him playing as the center. I'm seeing rookies get good contracts this time, good for them but they're bind to the team for at least 3-4 years. |
