Whoever wins game 5 might be the NBA champion, that's my guess. If the Celtics win game 5, the Warriors will be pressured and they might struggle in game 6, so game 5 is really a must-win for them, no excuses, Curry has to score 43 points again if that is necessary for them to win.

If NBA would love that, does it mean they will rig the game to ensure that the series will reach game 7? If this is business, then most likely we will see that and I think Warriors winning game 5 is a must because Celtics will bounce back in game 6.

This call is not just for newbies but this is for everybody. Maybe for old-timers, this is not hard but still, many of them have not appreciated the word HOLD, it is somehow they got influenced by their negativity. In fact, looking back on the surge of panic selling in the last bear season, it can't be possible if we still don't value this thing (hold) this time.

I think this was the time to open up our mind and think about what we can help the market as panic selling never contribute positively but rather seeing negative results. We don't just ask but to encourage everyone to become strong and let this bear season pass worrying about nothing.

Perhaps you are right.

 * Bear season - is a good time to buy
 * Bull season - is a good time to sell

Every season is a great opportunity, sometimes we don't appreciate it because we are too blind to see the positive side of it while others do. if we can afford to buy during the bull market, then we don't make an excuse for the bear season of not buying again. Indeed, as we trust our invested coins we no longer had to feel disappointments and worries as surely we can make a profit out from them someday.

If your guesses are right then people are also happy to see that. But what I think is a big opposite on your guesses coz what I think the market will be in spike again during halving. So, it's probably 2024 - but I know people can still wait for that moment to come.

Anticipating the market, fill our bags with potential altcoins - all we gonna do is to take this bearish time while it was not too late. Otherwise, we are going to blame ourselves back again just like it happen before which we just ignore this.

How are they just ignored while scams have been rampant on Facebook? And they did nothing before numbers of individuals become a victim. Though it is our responsibility to know if that is a scam or legit investment, yet it was also their participation to regulate and restrict such activities. I know they can't be blamed solely but it was us who are greedy of not thinking about it earlier before losing money to these scammers. This means that we can't rid of these scammers as for sure they will find a way and always there is a way knowing that many people remain innocent despite awareness.

Perhaps, what they did in our country is to send awareness to the public either on social media platforms or on television (news) in regards to crypto scams investment.
I was thinking their role was to protect against the rise of scams and stop the mindset of easy money and quick-rich schemes as this does not really exist in real life. However, I'd find this less effective rather than restricting the social media allowing this to publish because many were still falling into scams and Ponzi schemes.

Hyped projects like meme coins are just ideal for a short-term deal, we can never think they couldn't be able to sustain the competition, they will certainly lose their value. Thinking about Dogecoin as a long and existing meme coin, it is somehow lucky that this project has been supported by a known market influencer, or else, it has been dead already.
Thus, if we want money protection, we tend to stay away from them...there are a lot of potential and long-term investments that warrant a better future.

Boston can steal a game on the road, they have proven that many times already in the playoffs, so it's possible that they can beat the Warriors in game 5. That's why the spread is only -3.5 for the Warriors because bookies believe that Boston is a tough team even on the road.

The 1st 2 quarters doesn't matter to both teams as they are good in 3rd quarter and 4th quarter where we can see a real competition.

What an intense game, but in the end, Ginebra still manage to win.

I like the Blackwater here, they have become a competitive team already. For Ginebra, Thompson almost has a triple-double, his numbers are huge.

points - 14
rebounds - 16
assists - 9

They are the favorite to win, they are suppose to be the dominant team, but it seemed like Celtics are still underrated despite beating the Warriors in the previous 2 games with a decent margin.  I don't know if Celtics will be able to bounce back in game 5, but I feel the Warriors will use their home court advatange to gain a lead in the series.

Knowledge + strategies, if it will work together, you'll be earning a lot of money but sometimes it won't and that is why you have to lose.
 
However, it was to clarify the importance of knowledge before anything. You can't just ride the market too easily without even knowing the basics, that was true. But, we don't need to become full of knowledge, what we need is to become more strategical as this is the best tool in trading and investing. In fact, some rich people don't go to school, they bring themselves to the real world of entrepreneurship and learn from them. If we want to become a trader, therefore, we have to expose ourselves to it and stop watching youtube or any tutorials as this possibly will only confuse us. We can learn more base on our experience, not from reading books.

We can apply to both of them with the same strategies and trading in general whether it was crypto or fiat related (like forex) knowledge and skill are absolutely required. And they all are risky.

Dump and pump can be experienced by both of them but in regards to Ponzi schemes and scam coins, these only exist in crypto trading IMO. In fact, this is one reason why many traders are preferred to use forex trading as likely to avoid losses because of choosing the wrong coins.

But the advantage in crypto trading is to have a lot of choices, unlike Forex. If we are new in trading, better to start Forex first, and gain some experience before moving to crypto.

Don't look at the possibility that this project will give you a profit but rather think this gives you losses as this project seems nothing to add and value in the market. Don't get surprised of seeing this to a useless project and this really gonna happen to them. And besides, I'd never find any reason to see its price rise, it was indeed a dying project like no different from other shitcoins.

I think you need to accept the fact that Optimism has no future and it was only created for scam purposes.

I've found this become challenging during my early days in crypto. Being No-HOW to the forum and talking to anonymous people is quite challenging.
But for now, it turns like just normal, We talk just like friends (indeed friends). Giving and taking ideas is just what we did here, and the more we interact with brilliant and experienced people, the more enhance ourselves to become better and be soon like them in the future.

We don't think this was a challenge but rather think this is somewhat required as no healthy forum without informative discussions.

That's good, at least we all know that he is not afraid of a challenge, he can fight the best challenger to prove that he really deserved the belt despite some criticism by the fans that are not fully convinced with his win. It's his first title defense, hopefully, he will be able to deliver an impressive win, something that will stun the crowd and will let them talk about his performance.

But that does not guarantee a win though, it's still up to you if you will take the risk. Some teams could really come back especially if they are a good team, in the case of Meralco, they are a championship team so they know how to bounce back, some with the SMB and Ginebra.

You have found a reason but I have also the reason why I can't trust any exchanges to hold my funds instead of doing it.
 * you can't be sure of what they are doing - likely you can't urge them to give you money back whatever happens to them eg. hacking incidents
 * exchanges wallets are not safe - you will have to think about that

It is way better to use your own and full-controlled wallet upon holding. That be sure that you are the only one who have an access of your assets, nothing else.

Most of the time we extend our patience. This is very important in trading and this is never meant for impatient individuals. We need to understand the situation, we don't just rely on the indicators as they can be wrong, we do our own analysis as well.
Absolutely. Op must need to spend more time in the market and observes how it moves. We can't be just too explosive that thinks the market will move high as, during this bear season, we most likely see a downside rather than an uptrend.

I have had that experience before, I thought I could be earning more profit by buying cheap coins but somehow, what I've got is just losses and market desperation.

It was really a wrong decision choosing to buy shitcoins, we can expect such returns but instead, it was just losses. It is something we need to think about which project we have to invest with as not all coins available in the market are worth it. This is to imply how important to do the search and look for the potentiality of the project in order to have some assurance.
