The problem is that the majority of people, investors, traders (most especially, newbies) come into the crypto currency space with the mindset or rather, expectation of getting rich overnight. It can happen of course, because nothing is impossible in crypto, but understand that this is not 2017, the chances of someone getting this lucky is extremely low in this time and age, if you can’t invest and wait for 3 to 5 years to be financially independent, investing may not be for you, if you cant be patient and learn how to trade, bear some loses until you are good enough to start making consistent profit, then crypto trading might not be for you. Like many of us use to say, if you can't hold for 5 years, don't hold for 5mins, and if you can't bear -28%, don't expect +28,000%. Make sure to have a long term investment plan, and while you invest and wait, you can trade actively on the side. Could be P2P or actual spot or futures/margin trading on the side to make little profits on the way up. Get proper education and clear direction, know what you are doing at all time and be patient. Many might have the education, but not having a clear direction and lack of patience is one of the reasons many (especially newbies) end up loosing their hard earned money to scammers. People come to invest to make more money, but if they are for quick profits instead of having long term vision of profit making, that's the time they start taking wrong directions. People instead resort into taking shortcuts because there are promises for huge profits. Although they can be said profitable in their first months, but its just temporary. Without patience and long term determination maybe because of greed too, majority of the newbies end up falling into scams easily. |

If the series will be tied at 2-2 before game 5, then the Warriors might win in game 7 if this will reach to game 7.
Warriors had a great chance because they are good at home, but let us not forget what Celtics did in the ECF, they beat the Heat on the road in game 7, so they are not a team that we can underestimate as they have a lot of weapons to beat their opponent. I can't wait to see game 3, I like to see how the Celtics would respond after they got shut down by the Warriors in the previous game. |

Let's try converge Moneyline, it's their first game maybe they will try to play harder to have their first win. This is basically the Alaska team, less the non star players, so the defense will still be there as I believe Alaska's coach was also hired to coach this new team. Also, betting on the under as I think it's a defensive game and all Filipino cup have low scores in most games.
Betting for Converge is very risky for now because of chemistry issues and their roster is not yet solid. Maybe a few more trades we can say that they are competitive but tomorrow against ROS, for me i would bet for the latter because their roster is intact (minus Jayvee Mocon) and the spread/handicap is not that high. Time flies so fast that we are forgetting that it is PBA opening tomorrow  . Good luck and hope we can have a competition similar to what @inthelongrun is doing now with NBA games. Exactly, even they already conduct sets of practices but in actual game it's a different scenarios, the chemistries still be untested unlike with the ROS who already played together for longer time, they have the bond that can quickly sparks when they start attacking the basket. We can't tell what will be the outcome of those opening games, if you have some spare you can bet if you don't have just enjoy and analyze the games. I understand that, but just for the sake of having fun, I will just bet on the ML, just a few pesos would do. And also, I notice that the totals are very low for both games, it's just aroud 170 +, I think that says the game will most likely go under. |

People, including me, thought Warriors were just much more experienced and Celtics are coming to finals when they are much more tired. But that amazing fourth quarter proved almost everyone wrong. What an amazing period of basketball Celtics had. They stopped Warriors and even without their biggest star on paper(Tatum didn't contribute so much) they had the 40 points fourth quarter on the NBA finals and in away game. How legendary was that. Celtics seriously spiced up the NBA for me in this playoffs. Huge respect.
Big respect to them, they are a legit contender for the NBA Championship, though the Warriors have the experience, it doesn't matter to the Celtics because they are hungry to win the championship this season. Yeah, Tatum had an off night, but that does not make the Celtics off, they just find the hot man and that was Horford and everything goes well for them. |

I think it the odds are still the same in Game 2 for the Celtics.
No, the odds are different in game 2. Game 1 - Warriors -3.5 Game 2 - Warriors -4.5 That odds tells that Warriors will likely win game 2, it's a must-win for them and for sure they'll cover that spread if their defense will not collapse. I think they will have to adjust their defense in game 2 and shouldn't allow that easy look from the outside and give the Celtics to shoot again. The Warriors are still favor in game 2 and I'm not surprised that many are still going to back them up despite the unexpected lost they got in the first game. The warriors just have to improve their defense, actually, they did a great job by limiting Jason Tatum, unfortunately, the Celtics are not like a Lebron team where the entire team relied on him to carry for a win, the Celtics are different, their brand of basketball is teamwork and that's why we saw in game 1. When one struggles, somebody will step up, and what we have seen in game 1 is that Brown and especially Horford have stepped up. |

Yeah, I've just watched one of his winning blows in one of his fights and it's hyping me again. That's why if he has said this and said that, he'll surely going to do something different this time and will do what he has said. It is the reason why many are counting on him but we're not belittling what Inoue can do. He's still the champ and is one who holds the title but, the fighting spirit that Donaire is showing to the public now is interesting and encouraging to believe on him.
Everyone is hype on this fight, specially on how Donaire seems to be getting his second win by beating 2 young champions and gives hope that maybe he can win against Inoue. And many are going to believed that he can accomplished this because he has the tools at his disposal. he has the experienced and says that he learned from his previous lost. And that what makes Donaire very dangerous in the rematch. He is going to be extra motivated to the extend that he is willing to travel in Inoue's hometown to avenge his lost. Yeah and I'm one of those people that believe that he can get this match. Although there's still some worry since Inoue can't be ignored as an opponent still, I'm confident that Donaire has this. With all of those motivations that he's getting and the craving to compensate for his loss against Inoue, that's going to add to and fuel the fire that we can see on him. The motivation is there but we have to understand also that Inoue is ranked number 1 in the bantamweight division, meaning he is the best here. Motivation with skills are both needed to beat the monster, and if Donaire could find a strategy that Inoue did not expect, then maybe that's the time we will see a big upset in this fight. |

and if he wins convincingly, then maybe he really has a bright future. A fight should be dominated by him and he has to show some new skillset that would surprise people with his improvement. Anyway, I still hope he would win, so I'll say good luck to him.
This is unfair to Magsayo. What if he struggles to win but he does his best? If his win will be questionable? Saying also that Magsayo should dominate the fight is like treating Vargas as an easy opponent. That's not the case here. If the fight was close, that's a good fight compared to watching a landslide victory. I will recognize Magsayo's win regardless of how he wins the fight. We have our personal opinion dude, I just get used to seeing a Filipino champion that has been dominating their opponent, and Magsayo does not pass on my satisfaction. I don't know, I'm not impressed so much, maybe I'll change the way I see if he will have an impressive win in this fight. |

I see, but let's find out this Sunday if he can really help the team to win. He is not the star player for sure as he is just a rookie, but as a far, we know if he would be able to contribute well or not.
Hey, let's give time for the kid. Regardless if he can help his team to win on Sunday or not, it should not be expected. Like you said he is just a rookie after all. Sometimes the potential of a player is only shown after several conferences. If he will have a great night on Sunday, then good. Time flies so fast. The PBA All-Filipino Cup Conference will now begin tomorrow. Before the tip-off, there will be the previous Season's individual awards winners first. I almost missed that, good thing we have some posters here that are updating us with the start of the PBA. By the way, betting odds tomorrow are already available in my book. you can check yours for more details. Here are the odds Coverge vs ROS (-3.5) Hotspots vs TNT ( +1.5) Let's try converge Moneyline, it's their first game maybe they will try to play harder to have their first win. This is basically the Alaska team, less the non star players, so the defense will still be there as I believe Alaska's coach was also hired to coach this new team. Also, betting on the under as I think it's a defensive game and all Filipino cup have low scores in most games. |

Again, it's only 1 game. And so we will see how the Warriors will adjust on the next game because they played poorly in the last quarter. This is not the typical Warriors that we know, they are a team that knows how to protect their lead, but not in this game. Something is not right and hopefully they can recover their mentally in the next game because they don't want to be 0-2 in this series.
They've shown what they've got and I guess we just have to appreciate what the Celtics have shown. They've played the best basketball game that they've got and yes, this is just the game 1 but the morale that it has given to the Celtics with their current roster, it's a big shot. I know that Warriors will be able to bounce back and they'll tell and show to everyone who they are and I'm expecting that this is going to be a long games and maybe until game 7. Celtics are in high morale mode right now and for getting that huge win with Warriors last game one most provably they already see the weakness of this team, their coaching staff is really good in adjustment so I guess we can see more good game from them. But for the fact that Warriors almost dominated that game for sure they adjust on what their mistake on game 1 so for sure we will see a good game 2 on this series. No, just wait until game 2 is over, if the Warriors still fail to win, then we can say that the Celtics have already found their weakness. I don't want to hype the Celtics or overreact on what happened because the series is still far from over. |

Gotta lean in on golden state next game in my eyes. At home I dont think golden state wants to lose out twice. Think they will come out muchore focused for all 4 quarters. Curry proved the defense situation won't affect him, he just needs to play the same way he did in the first q/half. Taking the money line next game.
Yes that is the plan. I think everyone is thinking Warriors will bounce back for the next matchup. Curry is not the problem as he started strong. It was the other teammates of his that lacked any defensive play to stop Celtics from just steamrolling over them and not being able to do anything against them once they got locked in the zone. Me, I will not play safe, if the Warriors will win, I'll probably go with the spread because I don't feel it's going to be a close game, it should be won by a dominant performance of the Warriors and I like to put a bet on Curry as well, 30 points should be easy for him in a revenge game. 1.56 ML vs 1.93 -4.5... I'll take the spread. |

As for Mark, even if he is the underdog, he can still win this fight.
How can you say that he is the underdog? He is the defending champion in this particular fight, you should share the betting odds for us to verify that Mark Magsayo is really the underdog. I think the defending champion will be very difficult to beat but there is a possibility that when Mark Maksayo makes a mistake and is read by the opponent, the opponent must be able to take advantage of the moment as possible because when in the ring anything can happen without realizing it. Hopefully this won't be Mark Maksayo's nightmare. Well, as for Mark Magsayo, I have no doubts that he can defeat Vargas here even if the the latter have the advantages like experience, height and reach. That was just a figure and record but that doesn't mean that the defending champion have a slim chance here, I believe Magsayo will have a bright future in this industry and with Freddie Roach in his side, he can go beyond. We will find it out, he has to pass a tough challenge in this fight, and if he wins convincingly, then maybe he really has a bright future. A fight should be dominated by him and he has to show some new skillset that would surprise people with his improvement. Anyway, I still hope he would win, so I'll say good luck to him. |

And now that they are in the Finals, can they defeat the Warriors though? That's what I want to find out.
We will only find out when this series is officially over. For now, it's nice if we put some bets to enjoy while watching the game, we have game 1 tomorrow, Warriors will be hosting the Celtics, and this game 1 will give us an idea of the possible outcome of the series, so we should not miss it, let's watch and bet at the same time. We should watch this match and honestly and enjoy. We are having the two best teams possible in the final and we will enjoy the show for sure. For me the favorites are the Warriors and i think they have an amazing chance especially because of home advantage I enjoyed watching the first 3 quarters but I got disappointed in the 4th quarter as the Warriors are slowly melting until they cannot compete anymore with the Celtics. That was a big comeback by the Celtics, imagine, the Celtics score 40 points while they held down the Warriors to 16 points only. If you are a Warriors fan, you'll really be disappointed because they are not matching the intensity of the Celtics in the last quarter. The defense of the Celtics were very evident in that game, they need to prepare for that as we know that Celtics are a good 4th quarter team. I'm Warriors fans but I'm not disappointed on what they show in game one they provide good numbers but its just Celtics heat up on 4th quarter sequences that's why we see them won on their first meeting. I'm totally impress on white's performance and GSW should adjust toward there lapses made for game 1. Many thought that GSW will win but surprisingly Celtics take over and able to survive the game 1. The game is over, I have already move on. haha.. I just wish that they'll bounce back in game 2 so they'll be able to even the series. They made a mistake, they have to correct it. Besides it's still too early to conclude, celtics are ahead but they did not win the competition yet. |

I am confused that there are meme coins whose prices are sky rocketing but I dont see any real value these meme coins are providing
Their prices will sky rocket as they are easily hyped by those big whales or those high profile individuals like Elon Musk, but when the hype is gone, their prices will eventually drop again and some won't even recover at all. This happens because they have no real utility cases in the market and that there is no community that would need them for long, in short they are only useless coins that's why they find it hard to survive particularly when there is bear market. |

Although, ideally in a bear market, you should keep funds in a project that has already proved to stand its time and has been battle-tested. I won't be taking much a greater risk if the whole market sentiment is bad.
It would be foolish at this point to pour money into new projects. During a bear market, established projects also struggle to survive and overcome, let alone new project released during bear season. I think at this point we should not spend too much time learning about new projects, focus on projects that have a long history of achievements and reputation in the market to avoid risks and multiply opportunities double your future wealth. When the bull market comes we will have a lot of new projects created and we will have no shortage of opportunities to invest, so just try not to lose money in the bear market and get through it. What is more important in a bear market is that you should always have good bases which coins you are going to invest your money, otherwise your money will only go into waste. The reason why wise investors do not trust new projects anymore as they mostly won't survive in this bear market but only those coins who have real utility cases and those who have been making successful achievements in the past will mostly survive. This bear market should never be a threat if only majority of us will only learn how and where to invest during this difficult times. |

Just a heads up — totally appreciate the enthusiasm and it's good that you're going to teach finance, but you should probably heavily focus on finance and investing first, before going for cryptocurrencies. Really, crypto can wait — as it's not like they have thousands and thousands to put into the markets already anyway.
I think its not necessary that you have to teach your children with crypto in the first place, saving and investing even in fiat will make them good investors in the future and will be able to manage their finances well because of their experience. Crypto can be taught once they become matured and be able to understand its volatility, after all its kinda boring so bringing up crypto in their early childhood days will not be as effective as what we expected. |

I have a friend who invests in cryptocurrency like me, he is an investor hold Luna and he has also lost quite a bit because of Luna. But what's more sad is his 2 best friends. Those two are also hold a lot of Luna's and Luna's crash causes them to lose all their possessions and become insane. As he said, one person has gone through the crisis and one has not. Those two guys who invested in Luna were all from my friend's advice. He said it was he who indirectly harmed them, money can be earned, but his friend are gone.
This is a sad story that I have heard. Through this story I want everyone to know 1 golden rule in investing is: never give financial advice to anyone. By the time you give them financial advice, you may feel like you're one step ahead of them, but if that advice is wrong, you could be the one hurting them.
This is why giving financial advice is something one should never do because that will make him responsible for the future outcome of those investors, either they succeeded or failed in crypto investing. However, i think one should never put the blame alone on the one who gives financial advices, but its more on the investor itself. If he thinks he is not capable to sustain his profits in crypto, then he should not take investments in crypto in the first place. He is the one that should make more efforts to gain, and not the financial adviser itself. |

Hello all,
I have been following Bitcoin prices for some time, and now I'm doubtful if it is a good time to start accepting it as it has changed so much in the past months. Those who accept Bitcoin - is it worth it? And do you accept Bitcoin straight to your wallet, or do you use third-party services?
Thanks in advance!
From what we know from Bitcoin history, BTC always surpasses it's previous ATH. So, today it's a good time for accepting Bitcoin, but under one condition: you must be good with holding your BTC for the next couple of years, or maybe even 3-4 years. Yes I'm positive that another ATH will be achieved, but it can take some time. Don't get me wrong, I personally think that a new ATH can happen with high probability this very year, but we should be prepared for the worst, you know. It's always a good time to start accepting bitcoin because its price will eventually rise up in time and we will witness a new ATH that will bring a lot of profits for us. Otherwise, we will miss another chance again if we continue to be skeptical on buying bitcoin because of its endless risks. However, its always your personal choice at the end of the day since you are the one responsible for your finances but majority of us here always believe that there's no late from accepting bitcoin. |
