And I think this is one of the goals for many of us, I mean we wanted to be part of those 1 Bitcoin club. But with the prices still very high at $30k, average joe might not even own it in their life unless they really put a lot of effort on reaching this 'dream'. But I would say that I'm still that far,  Smiley

Many of us won in this game, and the Warriors line at -6.5 initially is not a trap. On the contrary I see others holding as high as -7.5 and they still manage to win.

So we are not waiting for the Celtics and Heat series to end. Boston a huge favorite at ML at at handicap at -8.5.
2003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: May 27, 2022, 06:34:08 AM
So what's your prediction on this fight? Are you with Haney or Kambasos?

I will go with Kambosos here, he will be motivated to proved that his win against Lopez is no fluke. And I agree that Haney is a very good boxer, skill wise. But he has a weak chin and Kambosos has power. So I'm just imagining that if George land that flush on Devin's chin, it will be over, regardless of what round he will land that. So George by KO might be a good odds to bet.

Data shows that the price isn't the bottom so if a trader who sees it coming might just put his buy price to the worse that could happen and just hold his stablecoin for now. Base on what I have seen on speculations, there are really worse fud spread who predicts price to go below $10K. But the fair price which they commonly say is the $24500 to be the bottom.

I don't think that we need to hear those FUD's those, the price is bound to go down as we are in a bear market. Like others said, from ATH to the current price, or six months later, this is very cheap and indeed a good price to buy.

If might not be the bottom and there is a big possibility that the price will go to $24,500, but I wouldn't wait for that. Just buy when at the current price of below $30,000.
2005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 27, 2022, 12:31:11 AM
I think Golden State will finish this series so they can finally move on to the finals and that is looking like it will be the Celtics the way the Heat played in their last game.

I agree. It probably should have been Warriors vs Bucks, but the Middleton injury. I would’ve rather seen Warriors vs 76ers also, but the Embiid injury… That Boston team is a good one though and they’ve been through a lot together, so I’m not mad about it. I do think the Warriors will end up on top though, further cementing the legacy of that squad.

Warriors vs Bucks might be a good one though, Giannis against Draymond. 76ers? nah, even if Joel is not injured, they would have a hard time against this East team.

Yes, if by chance the Warriors win the NBA finals again, Curry, Klay and Green's legacy are cemented and they as one of the dominant team in the last 10 years. Their numbers should be up at par with the great teams in the 2000's such as Lakers and the Spurs.
2006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Western Conference Finals (Warriors vs Mavericks) on: May 26, 2022, 08:13:49 AM
Mavericks finally won a game in this series. I was even waiting to see them winning the third game but they failed. They have a very difficult work to do now even though they won the fourth game. Because Warriors are already 3-1 ahead in the series and all of the remaining games are like a series point for them. Doncic had a solid game too by the way. He had 30 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists. He just continues to take the most of the responsibility for his team as always. But it looks like this is the end of the road for Mavericks.

The closest first win should they have is back on Game 2 where they blew their 19-point lead. In Game 4, they also did the same as they blew again their 29- points lead entering the 4th quarter downed to 8 points.

With that performance, Mavericks' rally might end up in Game 5. It's a great experience for the young Mavericks to face the championship lineup of the Warriors to give them a good reference for their career. Warriors' young players too are doing their best.

It's hard to believe that the Warriors will lose 4 games in a row. It's technically possible but the chances are low to happen obviously. I do have a bet on Mavericks to win the series but I already concede with my bet.

Yes, I'm not seeing the Warriors losing 4 straight unless something bad happen to their players. So it's game 5, to be held on Warriors home court, so I guess they will have to finished it and have a good rest and then wait for their opponent for the finals. Luka though proved that he can carry a team in the playoffs and he is not a choker and I would say trash talker.  Grin. Opening line for the Warriors for those who are interested, -6.5.
2007  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Terra Luna bringing the whole market down? on: May 26, 2022, 06:48:53 AM
This can be a big problem for the market in general, as it will encourage further volatility in an already volatile market. As with any investment strategy that looks too good to be true, caution is always advised. The crypto market is very volatile. Maybe in 5 years, the market capitalization in Terra Luna will be 10% of the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies, in my view, this may be a turning point that pulls the market out of its current slump.

It's just the timing though, we are in a bear market and it just worsen because of the Luna debacle. We all know that the market is going to be volatile regardless of the trend lines, but there could be some catalyst that will make the price go on a downward spin and that is Terra Luna. Billions of dollars wipe because of some costly mistake from them or if it is plan ahead, we can only speculate at this point.
2008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 26, 2022, 06:19:23 AM
How about Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics later. This series is kinda unpredictable and I could not tell if the Heat do have the upper hand at their home. Boston stole one from them and it could happen again.
I may just watch the game and forget about betting.

It's pretty hard to predict who will win Game 5, even though the bookmakers think the Celtics are the favorites tonight. In addition, there is already an injury update, and the Celtics said that Smart and Williams will play, while the Heat said that Herro is out tonight. However, I think the Heat will have a chance to beat the Celtics if they can defend as they did in Game 3.

I think the bookies is right this time, game 5 was won by the Celtics.

Both Robert Williams and Marcus Smart played although limited minutes, but they have contributed big with their defense.

Unfortunately the Heat, don't have the players to score in this game, Bam did his share, but maybe Butler is still nursing that injury and not 100%.
2009  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The first gas station to accept Bitcoin in my region on: May 26, 2022, 04:14:44 AM
Impressive, and as we all know Nigeria is one country that really go full crypto so it make sense that's slowly they will have to find services being offered to be paid in BTC.

For sure the gas owner knows a thing about bitcoin, and who knows he might be a holder after all. There are some online stores that even give discounts if you are going to buy and used bitcoin so this might be a good strategy for the gas owner. Offer discounts for people who are going to used and paid with their bitcoin.
2010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics) on: May 26, 2022, 02:54:14 AM

But the Heat is playing better in the other 2 games so I personally withhold my prediction on which between the two teams will be reaching the NBA finals. But in the Western Conference, it seems it is becoming clearer that the Warriors are winning and will be the team to reach the NBA finals even if their game 4 which is happening right now will go to the Mavericks. It might end with a 4-1 standing in their favor.

I lose confidence in Heat after there one-sided defeat against Celtics in there recent match despite the return of Kyle Lowry. Lowry and Tucker is not performing well on game 4 and I believe this will be same scenario if they didn't step up. They are the key player to stop the momentum of Celtics since Tucker is the one who can guard Tatum tightly just like what he did in Game 1 while Lowry on the other hand can help Jimmy Butler to get some space and do an open shot by drawing the attention of the defender to his attack.

Heat seems weak when Lowry return because he can't perform his role properly to carry the team. Oladipo is much better than him for starter.

The game is already in the third quarter and it seems Heat is not as weak as they are in their game 4. There is no double-digit lead from the Celtics. In fact they were able to get the lead. So this is now a different game. Adebayo and Butler are now stepping up to do something big for the team. They must have known they urgently contribute something big for Miami to win. As you rightly predicted though, Lowry remains weak and couldn't help the team much.

3rd quarter is very bad for Heat. They have 16-32 and erased their early lead and shift the momentum to Celtics. They should remove Lowry on this crucial and stop experimenting with his adjustment in the crucial matches. Lowry is playing 21 minutes without an assist and points with just 1 rebound which probably the ball just landed on his position. Heat might loss there chance to be on finals if they keep playing like this because Celtics is very strong on crucial matches especially if they already got the advantage and momentum on the 2nd half.

And they are still outscored in the 4th, not sure how they will recovered and it seems that the Celtics are going to take this win at their home court.

Yeah, not sure why Lowry wasn't inserted early and go with Struss.

Might be 4-2 next game for the Celtics here. They are good at closing crucial matches and this team are complete at both end.
2011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Western Conference Finals (Warriors vs Mavericks) on: May 25, 2022, 11:30:51 AM
I'm expecting that Dallas Mavericks at least will have underdog odds this Game 4. I think this is the first time I saw a team behind 0-3 that still listed as a slight favorite to win the game. Bookies might think that Mavericks can still able to pull this one even though it's clear from the previous 3 games that Mavericks can't handle the much more dominant Warriors.
Mavericks won and lucky to those who took the risk on betting with them.
Warriors are off in game 4, some says they are affected by the current incidents in Texas but I think its ok to give credit sometimes to Mavericks since they did their best today and the result is really good for them. Though I doubt about them winning, but at least they show a good match. Game 5 is the home court advantage of Warriors, they should finish this already.

The Mavs performed well on this game, and I don't think it's just lucky of them that they pulled through. However the next game I don't think they will be having enough fuel in the tank left to go against the Warriors on their home court. We need some kind of miracle from Luka and the gang to make this series extend even further and for us to watch for more games before the series finale. I'm betting something for the Mavericks for me to have a reason to root for them, but I don't see this going any further than game 5.

Even though they win, still very close, I mean they have a huge lead but the Warriors was able to cut it into single digits in the 4th with three minutes and they made a final push.

Fortunately, for the Mavs, they were able to hold the late spurt of the Warriors and win by 10 points. But the score didn't tell the whole story. So yes, probably in the next game, the Warriors are going to close out the show.
2012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: May 25, 2022, 04:14:26 AM
At least Canelo making the good decision of giving us fans the needed trilogy instead of fighting Bivol again.

And this will be a career defining moment for him, I guess the lost to Bivol will give him motivation to finished off the storybook story between him and Canelo. Not sure if the odds are out yet, I haven't check but Canelo will be the favorite here despite his recent L.

That fight is won by decision which definitely needs rematch so I hope there will be another probably after with GG if he wins. Looking at it, its unsure that Canelo will win over GG. Although GG is older, he was tough fighting Murata. His stamina is good despite to constant attack on his body. He worked hard to get to have this 3rd  fight against Canelo.

Fighter are good in their last fight, so if we will go with this argument, then Canelo losing to Bivol is not good for him. Regardless, this is his rival so it will be interesting to see who will win this 3rd and hopefully final fight.

I might be leaning towards Alvarez here, even if this is going to be 160 or 168 lbs, I think he can beat this version of Golokvin.
2013  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: needs suggestion on: May 25, 2022, 03:25:37 AM
Hmm, market is saturated now with this P2E, we are a in a bearish trend, and even the one that started it all has suffered a huge downturn regarding the price.

So there's a lot of competition as I have said and I doubt that it will have the support and consensus of the market right now. Anyhow, let's see how it goes, but personally, I'm done with this hype already, might be better to just reinvest your profits (if you have), to other solid altcoins projects.
2014  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sideways huh! on: May 25, 2022, 02:54:27 AM
^^ Thanks, at least I have someone who see this kind of pattern.

Well I thought that we goes above $30k in the last 24 hours were good signs. But I was completely wrong as the sideways pattern will continue at least at the end of the week or this month.

So $25k-$30 will likely be the range, of course we wanted to see we maintain the upper bound of $30k'ish but we will see.
2015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 24, 2022, 02:20:08 AM
It seems like Warriors are almost finishing up their series as they got 3-0 ahead last night. It was an unexpected result to me because I expected to see a much more solid Mavericks in this one. But they were still not good enough defensively. Doncic - Brunson - Dinwiddie trio were great once again but they still couldn't make it. And this result might have dropped their morale quite much now. After having an enormous advantage like this, I wouldn't expect much from Mavericks. Warriors should be able to finish the series by 4-2 at worst.
Yeah, that was already 3-0 and no team has ever come back from 3-0 deficit, so for sure it's not gonna last more than 5 games. Mavericks are still not adjusting, they are still playing using Luka as their heavy lifter, and we know that kind of basketball will never be effective against the Warriors who played teamwork basketball.

I think they have adjusted already, but it seems that whatever strategy coach Kidd does, the Warriors has always a counter maybe it's because they have the experienced already in this kind of situation.

Luka is doing everything he can, but the Warriors defense is really locking the rest of the team that's why he doesn't have that support specially coming from Dorian Smith and Bullock. In the Suns series, specially in the last 2 games, these two can't missed, but against the Warriors their offense is non-existent.
2016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics) on: May 24, 2022, 01:34:40 AM
I am looking forward to a 2-2 standing after this fourth game. I'm sure the Celtics will get back on Miami. This early, Jason Tatum is already feeling hot and pumped up and will definitely add a lot more of scoring power to the Celtics. With 20 points just in the second quarter and the team leading so far by 25 points, this is going to be an exciting eastern conference finals. They only need to maintain a comfortable lead and continue to deny Miami of offensive rebounds.

Yes, it's a different Jayson Tatum we are witnessing this game, although he is nursing that shoulder, he still play and provided good offense to the team right now. So it's going to be a very difficult task for the Heat to even make the score close or cut the lead to manageable less than double digit because of the way the Celtics are shooting in this game.
2017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics) on: May 22, 2022, 06:37:19 AM
In an hour, the third game of the series is starting, Celtics - Heat. I really admired Celtics' performance in the last game. They showed a huge defensive and offensive performance at the same time which was a big help for destroying Heat comfortably. I assume that Heat would play better this time but it might still not enough for them to win. Because I think Celtics are closer to a victory once again. Maybe this would be by a much smaller margin but they would still make a comeback in the series and be 2-1 ahead.

Nah, Heat beat them in their own homecourt, although both stars are out, Tatum and Butler because of injuries so they cancel each other. But I guess the Heat has much more depth as they were able to have someone step up the plate in Bam Adebayo to make a 2-1 lead for them. But this series is still far from over, a win by Celtics next game could even up the score again. So it's going to be game to game basis and most likely this could be a 7 game series again.
2018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 22, 2022, 06:00:04 AM
^^ There's no "Warrior like comeback", from Boston. The Heat manages to hold them off and win the 4th quarter with good defense.

What a solid game from Bam, tonight, he leads the Heat with 31 points and 10 rebounds. Kyle Lowry played limited minutes but it was enough to help the Heat as well with 11. Brown taking over with the absence of Tatum with 40 big points but it wasn't enough.
2019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins that have most chances to come out strong after bear market finished on: May 22, 2022, 12:06:59 AM
Most of these coin I assume gonna be having the same potential since they are already so undervalued anyway. regardless I think if it's from your list, definitely solana since its popularity has been growing and its community is also already huge, I think quite some projects also switching over from terra luna to solana, and also the NFT market of solana has been growing significantly.
Other than that it's the apecoin, for the simple fact that it hasn't finished its bullish cycle and already got hit hard by the current bearish, maybe the next bullrun it's gonna achieve new ATH again but of course it's just my 2 cents.

We need to look for the foundation of these alts, but SOL, MATIC, I believe has good chance.
They have good use case and some projects are already utilizing it.
Several exchanges are already integrating these networks so it means, there's demand that they are seeing here.
So after this bear market, I believe, they can improve their value and they are not the usual short-lived projects.

Yeah, I also voted for those 2 coins. I mean it has a good community to begin with and the devs and the people behind are very conscious to every suggestions and comments.

And as you have said, they have been slowly starting to be integrated to other other networks, so that is a big boost already and a blue print that it could remain in the crypto sphere and survived this bear market.
2020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 21, 2022, 06:27:27 AM
3rd quarter Warriors are back! Down 17 at the start of the 3rd quarter and somehow they brought it down to just 2 by the end of 3rd. Mavs changed the way they played the first half, expecting Warriors to have found the answers but have gotten it very wrong. They are trying to go through Looney and that's not working at all. 4th quarter up next. Can Mavs take a game off of Warriors at the Chase center?
As I was expecting, that live by the three die by the three approach to the game backfired in the third quarter. Nobody is attacking other than Luka. Mavs is even lucky that Curry is misfiring but he's done well distributing the ball. To think that they managed to close the gap to just two points while Draymond is sitting the rest of the third quarter with three points.

And Draymond fouling it with more than 2 minutes, useless foul but I guess he knows his team are going to win anyway.

Just a collapse for the Dallas, it was only Luka who are scoring, maybe except for Brunson but it was not enough as the Warriors won the game and taking a 2-0 advantage. It just shows that Warriors are a 3rd quarter team, we've seen them do this in the regular games and won. The experience is too much for the Mavs to handle. Luka is doing everything but it was not enough.
