Kahapon lang may bumili ng NFT na kalaban namin na level 133 at nasa around 210k ang PS. Walang name pero panigurado galing sa mga Thai yun na kalaban namin. Nabili niya ng 1,000 WEMIX (i-compute nyo na lang Cheesy). Nag eexpect pa kami na maraming NFT ang pupunta sa 182 para kalabanin kami lalo na ngayon na karamihan sa mga high PS rin namin ay lumipad pa 162 para tumulong at dun na rin mag castle siege.
tagal na rin nila lumalaban sainyo noh, di talaga nag papatalo. regarding naman sa Castle Siege, malamang nyan mag last minute jump sila since yun naman ang madalas na strategy na ginagawa pag may mag baback up when it comes sa Castle Siege para hindi agad alam ng kalaban kung sinusino or gaano kalakas yung pupunta sa server.
Yes yes lumalaban pa rin sila pero karamihan na lang eh yung mga nanganganser na lang sa amin. Ung mga thai talaga ang palaban at umabot na sa point na bumibili na sila ng NFT para lang lumaban sa amin. Wala pa rin naman silang laban kahit yung level 133 na un, andun pumapatay ng mga alt characters sa lower maps (nakawar kasi kami sa kanila) pero di kayang pumalag ng mga same level or same PS niya.

Regarding naman sa castle siege, yun din ang sa tingin kong gagawin nila. Yung mga nasa Asia 4 ngayon gaya nila Brother Long-gadog na ngayon ay nasa 153 eh baka tumalon papuntang Asia 6 para resbakan yung mga dabarkads niya. Naisip ko tuloy yung sinabi ng relative ko ngayon na nasa Server 211 na andun na raw sila SnakeKingWld (kasamahan ng PHA na Chinese) and friends. Malaki ang chance na baka dun tumalon sila Brother Long or depende kung nasaan si PandaKingWLD ngayon.

Kings and Mavs still battling in OT. Luka back. Very entertaining game.
The Kings won against the Mavericks. They spoiled the Luka-Kyrie duo which is their first game playing together.

The Mavericks are a good team on paper, but their defense is very awful. They gave away their good defender in DFS to get Kyrie which isn't that good at defense. Luka and Kyrie are great in offense, but awful in offense. How can you let your opponent score 74 points in the paint? I mean the Mavericks are at the bottom 10 already in defensive rating and they gave away a defender for more offense. I hope that the Mavericks can change their roster, and find a defense-first player that can cover their lack of defense.

Miami Heat just enough to win the game against the Orlando Magic.
Just look at how distribute the offense of the Magic are. 6 players in double-digits. I believe that when this is the kind of offense a team has, they're very hard to stop because you don't know who you will be focusing with. Quite unfortunate that they lost to the Heat on their home, but it's a close one and I thought that they will win against them again. Anyway, I'll try to bet again on the Magic depending on their opponent/s.

Lots of good things happening for Dallas right now, even if Luka is resting due to injury, their ranking is not affected, in fact, they are slowly going up in the ranking due to the 2 wins Kyrie had contributed so far. The pressure of Luka is now minimize, they'll certainly make it to the playoffs as Irving has a heart of a champion and he'll do everything to make Dallas a great team.

Agree that somehow, Dallas Mavericks is currently on the good track. Luka's demand to the management to at least have an upgrade on their roster is being granted and he was even considered asking for his permission on that trade.

Although Kyrie is known for showing sudden changes in behavior out of nowhere, it seems that he's having a good day playing with the Mavericks.

Hope that consistency of his thinking only pure basketball and not anything else will continue.
Well, many are wanting for the Mavericks to have another all-star that will play beside Luka.
We know how NBA is right now. In order for a team to win, it has at least 2-3 all-star players on it. One isn't enough in the current era right now. 2 is needed to have a chance to win.

Now Luka has an all-star on his side already, and both of them are currently playing as of this moment against the Kings. What I observe also in the Mavericks is that they have this Josh Green who is emerging and becoming the scorer of the team. He scored double digits in his last 4 games. If he will continue to play on that pace, he will be a good addition to the offense of the team.

~
The interviewers would just say the job is not entitled to any insurance or benefits, what they can offer is a very low base salary and the commission part would be subject to how many sales the employee can bring to their company.
Sad to see establishments, stores and small business losing some of their revenues because of what's happening worldwide, but it's inevitable knowing what's happening right now. The job of your friend is commission based so there's no assurance about that, and it will all depends on how many sales your friend will have.

My friend was not willing to take any of them because he has a family to feed and his wife's condition is unstable which could need a lot of money for surgery at any time. I understand him and am trying my best to help him find a high-pay job.
This is a very risky move by your friend. From what's happening right now, that would've been better than just finding that one job that pays you higher.

He is finding for a job that pays him higher, but what if he can't find one? You already said that he has family to feed. Does he has emergency funds to be used for his family that's why he can still afford to not have a job for several days? You said already in your topic that steady source of income is needed to support the family. I'd rather do lower but many multiple streams of income than wasting time finding that one single job that will pay you higher income.

My friend's story sends me a signal: no matter how much I earn right now, try to keep my job and souce of income stable. I am also a family man and have responsibilities. Anything bad can also happen to me so I have to be prepared to the unforseen problems, although I am doing fine now. Make hay while the sun shines. If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.
Currently, I don't have families to feed right now, but I'm readying myself in case that will happen because it really will happen soon. Now that I have a steady source of income, I'm saving some of it for the future while trying to have a steady cash flow thru having a job. My advice to your friend? Get that job that pays lower commission until  you can find another job that pays higher than what he will get on that job/s.

I see nothing wrong with teaching children about Bitcoin at the age of 10 and I don't see them as young at that age because they're already developing skills and talents at that age. They know what's wrong and what's right already.

On the other hand, it would be better if they will just integrate financial literacy as a whole to the curriculum of every school. Some might see that 10 years old is too young for a child to learn Bitcoin, so maybe teaching the basics of financial literacy would be better and as time goes by, he will learn about Bitcoin and crypto as he learns more about financial literacy.

There's nothing wrong with children teaching about Bitcoin, but I'd prefer teaching them the basics of finance because they might get overwhelmed when they try to learn it.

We didn't heard anything regarding him for several months that's why he's doing it again.
He wants clout. He wants exposure. He wants fame that's why he's doing this even though it makes him very stupid already.

I don't know if there will be somebody that will take what he is saying seriously especially when it comes to Bitcoin, and most of us already know that he is Faketoshi not Satoshi. Cheesy I wonder what does he wanna prove to us.
2147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 11, 2023, 03:22:57 PM
If everything goes smooth with the Mavericks, then I guess he'll be staying longer, but it's just a matter of time, when everything goes wrong he'll most definitely going to do what he usually does, find his way out of the team.

A team has no choice but to trade Irving if he doesn't want to play anymore as he'll act unprofessional by not playing his best or worst is he will not show up anymore. So it's very crucial that the management has to ensure to give Irving his demand and help him build a good working chemistry for him to stay longer after he signs a max deal.
The nickname of Kyrie Irving is Uncle D. which stands for Uncle Drew.
For me, it has another meaning, and it's Uncle Drama Cheesy. I mean why not. He's full of drama all throughout his career. From him traded to Boston, and saying that he will stay there, but just a few months, got traded to Brooklyn and then another set of dramas again until he is now on the Mavericks.

I guess the front office doesn't want to give Kyrie a long term contract knowing how bad his history is. There is no smooth or whatever when it comes to Kyrie. If he feels that he wants drama, he will do everything. He's one of the best if not the best ball handlers right now in the league, but his unprofessionalism is what makes teams hesitant to give him a long term contract.

I'll be rooting for this combination to work out, and I hope even more that CP3 gets his dreamed champion ring

Paul deserves to have at least one championship ring, but he doesn't have much time left. His current contract with the Suns will expire after the 24/25 season, and that's probably the last contract of his career because he'll be 40 years old by then. So it looks like Durant is Paul's last hope, although, as I said before, winning a championship won't be an easy task for the Suns.
The Suns gave everything just to get KD. That shows that in the next 3 years, the Suns will be chasing that ring because if they will not win a title in those 3 years, CP3 will be 40 at that time already and KD's contract expires and after that, I expect the Suns to maybe rebuild.

The Suns went all in to KD, and we will only know if it's worth it or not if they will win a title. I mean 4 all-star players who can't win a title? If they will not win in the next 3 years, they will be compared to the Brooklyn Nets where there was Pierce, Garnett, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and lots of superstars, but didn't win the title.

With NP, even Bollick finally shows up, but against Gin kings, they are still un-match with the good chemistry of this squad.

I was impressed by Robert Bolick's return like he does not come from an injury.

Establishing 30 big points from his 11 shots out of 21, which was a 52% field goal percentage, that was a spectacular performance on his return. Their import, Kevin Murphy might be happy that at last, he will now have a good duo on scoring.

Although they lack gas and lose only by 5 points, NorthPort can now be considered back on track.
It's good to see Bollick again after many speculations of him playing in Taiwan and Japan.
The not-so-bad thing though is that, he only signed a one-conference deal with the NorthPort and most probably, he will go to another team (I just don't know where but I saw it online).

The duo of Bollick and Murphy seems good because both of them scored 30+ points each, but it wasn't enough for them to win because they're up against the Ginebra.

2 games will be played today.
First game will be TerraFirma Vs. TNT followed by SMB Vs. Converge.

Will the SMB retain their 0-loss record after this game against Converge? Will the Converge get their revenge after losing to TNT in their last game? Will TerraFirma steal one again against an MVP team or will the TNT get their 2nd straight victory.  Grin
2149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What most gamblers do. on: February 11, 2023, 03:26:54 AM
I am a gambler myself. I have savings, I have investments, and I have my finances sorted out. Never had any problems with me gambling uncontrollably or impulsively. Always know my priorities and what I need to focus on even though I regularly gamble. It all depends on the person's discipline. If a gambler has savings and investments, you can surely depend on him to continue being disciplined and committed to doing what he needs to do and only see gambling as a way to entertain himself.
That's good for you that you are able to learn how to control yourself whenever you are gambling.
 
The problem why most gamblers doesn't have savings at all is because of their priorities, and their way of thinking. Saving for me isn't a priority as my main priority as of this moment is to invest and invest, but I'm not setting aside saving since I'm still saving money.

Like you, I also sort my finances so that I will not be having a hard time when the worst thing comes (like financial problem etc.), but for most of the gamblers, they don't think about it because the only thing that they have in their mind especially the addicted ones is to just gamble and gamble. Disciplined gamblers are the ones that has savings, and investments maybe.

Well, I'm realizing, we will have very interesting games to bet in this round!

Lakers x Bucks and Magic x Nuggets.

I have no doubts, I will follow this game and also place some bets!

By the way... good luck guys!!



Magic vs Nuggets seemed like a trap for the Nuggets takers. I believe that Magic is good, they are a big surprise especially when up against the best teams in the NBA, so I took the spread which is the handicap +6.

About the Lakers vs Bucks, I had the Lakers early with +5.5, the line moved, it doesn't matter because I like the Lakers to win since OKC has spoiled the big day of Lebron.
Yes, unfortunately it was a big trap, I believe that, like me, we had hope that the Nuggets would win easily, but unfortunately that did not happen.
I was surprised with the result... but anyway, I'll try to "reverse" this loss with some games that we will have in the future!
This is what I like about the Magic and sometimes, betting on them against a top team is better. Cheesy More risky, but more rewarding.

They beat the Celtics twice (only team to do it this season), they beat the Sixers once (on their own home), and just yesterday, they beat the Nuggets with Jokic and Porter Jr. The Magic is a very exciting team to watch out for especially those young players of the team. For us bettors, we might wanna think twice if we will bet for them or against them in their next games. Cheesy

Lakers upgraded their roster, but might not be enough for this season to carry them to the playoffs.
I'm thinking the same as well, but come to think about it. The battle for a playoff or even play-in spot in the Western Conference is very tight and with lots of players being added to the West, it will be a survival to the fittest.

Lakers are now in the 13th spot, but they are only 3 games below the 10th spot, and only 5 games below the 4th spot. Just think about it. The Lakers' roster became better obviously, and what if they are on a winning streak let's just say after the all-star break? A mere 5 game winning streak will put them in the playoff spot for sure, but more is better. With this upgraded Lakers roster, I expect more wins from them, but with a healthy James and/or AD.

Of course the biggest winner in this year's trade is Suns and I would say that Lakers is second.
It may sound funny, but between the 2 teams that you said, the Lakers is the winner (for me and let me explain).

Suns roster might be upgraded on paper yes, but look at their depth. Look at their bench players. Who do you think can step up if one or worse 2 of their 4 all-star players get injured. Who do you think will step up if they are off the court? Shamet? Okogie? Payne? I don't think so and this is the problem of the Suns. They might got 4 all-star players, but their depth is for me one of the worse right now because they don't have good role players that can step up. They traded Cam Johnson already which is a good role player for the team.

As for the Lakers. They have a good starting five and at the same time a good bench players. They have Bamba and Gabriel as their bench big. They also have Vanderbilt, Hachimura and Brown Jr. as their wing players. They also got Russel and Schroder as their guards and of course, they got Lebron and AD. If Lebron and AD got injured or will not play, they still have tools like Russell who is shooting better this year, Schroder who can be their point guard, Hachimura, Walker IV and Reaves for three-point shooting.

Overall, the Lakers are a more balanced team right now thus, I see them a winner over the Suns. Don't get me wrong though as we have our own opinion. Smiley
2152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What most gamblers do. on: February 10, 2023, 04:18:48 PM
WHY DOES A GAMBLER DON'T HAVE A SAVINGS.
People get curious about gambling and they try it.
Got a few wins and they got addicted into it already.
They're willing to spend time and money just to do what they want to do and in this case, it's gambling.
They lost and instead of them stopping, they will find a way to have money to be used in gambling.
The cycle keeps on and on and on.

An addicted gambler will not have any savings at all. I don't want to generalize on this one since there I believe there are still some gamblers out there that still has savings even though they are gambling, but for most of the gamblers, they are willing to spend everything including their savings just to continue gambling.

This is what happens if a gambler doesn't have self-control. They can't control their urge of gambling and because of that, they will spend every cent that they have and that's the reason why they don't have any savings at all. Addicted gamblers don't save, but they gamble. One thing also is that, don't specify your country because it doesn't only happen in your country, but all over the world.

Gemini, Celsius, NEXO. One of the remove the feature, one of them turn out to be a fraud and another one is going to be as well.
I don't know if there are some more, but these are the companies who are offering huge APY's to the investors who choose to put their money into their platform while doing nothing.

APY's especially those who are giving a huge APY's to investors really is attractive. TBH, I was attracted to it as well, but fortunately I didn't ever try this one because I always think "Where are they getting those funds that they are paying to the investors?"

As much as possible, stay away from projects that are giving high yield to investors. Staking is much safer than these ones, but even those has risks as well. Staking those altcoins at the top give you lower APY than those on CeFi platforms, but it's safer than those.
2154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My ideals on how to promote Bitcoin in my locality on: February 10, 2023, 08:18:10 AM
There are so many ways Bitcoin can be promoted especially here in Nigeria and wold wide.
Firstly religious leaders play a very interesting roles in the life of people and are seen as role models and mentors some see them as a father figure, so what ever this set of people tell there followers that is what exactly they will all do.
With the numbers of churches and mosques that we have I know if Bitcoins is been enlightened to us through this regions then people will trust and believe in BTC, Bitcoin will surely go more far and spread wide with this ideas.
TBH, I can't think of a reason why somebody must connect religions, churches into Bitcoin.
I can't find any churches that are promoting any crypto project at all. I don't know if religions promoting Bitcoin will be good or bad, but I don't think that they will promote it at all. I mean if they can't benefit from it then they will not do it and besides, not all of the churches know or has been engaged into Bitcoin or crypto in general.

Secondly Bitcoin is better than saving in a bank because it appreciate while it is been saved in our wallets and it is also an investment, so many people complain from there day to day activities with the local banks of been debited without cause and reducing the expected savings this is not a good reputation and Bitcoin has solve this aspect of issues, with the security of wallets, hard ware and software wallets fraud is been reduced making both the old and the young to believe that they are saved from been scammed through BTC.
Well, you are thinking of telling to these savers to just invest their money into Bitcoin instead of saving it to banks right?
I can't blame those who wants to save their money into banks because maybe they are lacking of financial literacy thus, they grow up with a mindset of "Save all of the money into our banks".

Another one is there are some savers who can't take the risk of investing into Bitcoin. Do you expect that all of these savers can take the risk of holding an asset that goes up massively, but goes down massively? Do you expect that they will just be ok when they see their investment or in this case savings' account going down because of volatility? I don't think so. After all, there are some factors whether you will invest your money into Bitcoin, or to just let it save in banks. Those elders who are saving money into a bank can't take the risk of taking out their money from banks and put it into Bitcoin.

small update lang sa planong pag papalakas ng char ko, currently nasa 180k na PS ko(ginawa ko nang stage 16-17 yung mga conquest ko, at nag tier 9 na din ako ng mga skills, madami kasi na tambak na epic skill sa warehouse ko ahaha, malaki yung dagdag na PS after ko gawin yang dalwang yan) yung codex ko naman is currently 403.
Congrats congrats naiupgrade mo na rin yang conquests mo.
Sa akin nahihirapan ako sa life elixir at yun ang nagpapatagal sa akin sa pag upgrade ng constitution. Tapos ko na lahat ng requests sa Desert Road at Phantasia Desert. Yung Constitution ko na lang para makapag upgrade na rin ng conquests.
Oo, mahapdi talaga sa life elixir yang constitution lalo na yung physical deff at spell deff jan, need ng tig 100 epic materials para ma sa last upgrade, sobrang time consuming din pag di ka bumili nung mga herb sa market. note lang na pag naisipan mo mag craft ng Azureum fluid para dun sa ibang inner force, mahapdi din sa life elixir, isa din yan sa umubos sa life elixir ko.
Kaya inuuna ko na yung Constitution ko tapos mag iipon ako ng life elixir para sa Azureum paunti unti habang nag cracraft ng mga Epic Gears. Naipon na yung mga Epic Horn at Leather ko sa storage dahil nakafocus ako sa Constitution. Buti sa ngayon 60 at 59 na ako jan sa Physical Def at Special Def at pagkatapos nun, ung HP at MP naman isusunod ko para matapos na. Bumibilli ako ng mga halaman sa market na. Masiadong time consuming if iaasa mo lang sa pagdadamo yung pang upgrade mo. Mas pipiliin ko pang mag-afk grind kaysa magdamo.

Currently 180K PS na rin ako at kakalevel-118 ko lang din with 418 codex. Mejo nadedelay ang pagpapalevel namin dito dahil may mga makukulit pa ring Devils na nanggugulo sa amin at dumating na sa point na kahit sa common map ay pinapatay na rin kami. Pag matutulog ka sa gabi andun naka-afk, pagkagising mo nakatayo na sa safe zone Cheesy. Kadalasan mga Devils na Thai ang pumapatay sa amin.
mas malakas ka pa ata sakin eh, lalo na at may legend pet ka na. same din sakin, sobrang delay ng pagpapa level ko, mag 1 month na kong 120. di rin talaga maiiwasan yung ganyan na canceran lalo na pag war.
Yes yes di talaga maiiwasan. Hindi rin parang mas malakas ka pa rin sa akin. May legendary pet lang ako pero kulang ako sa codex at gears pa.

Kahapon lang may bumili ng NFT na kalaban namin na level 133 at nasa around 210k ang PS. Walang name pero panigurado galing sa mga Thai yun na kalaban namin. Nabili niya ng 1,000 WEMIX (i-compute nyo na lang Cheesy). Nag eexpect pa kami na maraming NFT ang pupunta sa 182 para kalabanin kami lalo na ngayon na karamihan sa mga high PS rin namin ay lumipad pa 162 para tumulong at dun na rin mag castle siege.

Yung Constitution ko na lang para makapag upgrade na rin ng conquests.
Isa ito sa nabibigatan ako. Parang ang tagal na makapagharvest ng halaman ngayon, tapos yung gold halaman sa bladehaven lagi ng may mga nakaabang.
Ni hindi ko naabutan man lang yun, dapat yata orasan talaga.  Cheesy May mga teknikan ba kayo sa paghahalaman?

Ayos din tong sweet event na ito, inuna ko na yung mga pang codex muna para mas bumilis XP at monster kill. Susunod na lang yung iba.

Bilhin mo na lang gamit ang gold. Para sa akin hindi sulit yung paghahalaman ng matagal.

Ganito na lang gawin mo. Craft ka ng rare na herbs. If may maging tradable, ibenta mo sa market. Yung magpapabentahan mo yun ang ibili mo ulit ng halaman tapos repeat lang ang cycle. Yung untradable na herbs, gamitin mo pang craft into Epic at yung Rare ibenta. Ganun din sa mga Epic na halaman. Craft ka ng Epic na halaman. If may tradable, ibenta mo if may untradable gamitin mo pang upgrade sa constitution mo.

Mas matagal kang makakapag upgrade sa ganitong paraan pero at least may gold kang gagamitin kung saan mo gusto.

I’m reading reports now that the Warriors are or have (depending on the report) traded James Wiseman. I’m surprised by this. I thought he’d give them the athletic center they need, but I guess he didn’t fit into the system. I think if they gave him more minutes he could’ve been a much better player than he is viewed as and probably could have gotten them a better trade package, but it looks like they’ve given up on him. This opens a spot for Kevin Love…
No surprise for me at all.
He isn't fit for the whole Warriors team, and he doesn't fit to how the Warriors are playing right now. Like you said, he doesn't fit to the current system of the Warriors and that's true and that's why he's playing most of the time in the G-league affiliate of the Warriors instead of him playing in the NBA. A good thing that they traded him away.

Warriors fans will be happy bringng back Gary Payton II back to the team.
On the other hand, John Wall return as well to the Houston Rockets,  Grin
Pat Bev traded to Magic, in exchange of Mo Bamba, I guess we have the answers now. After losing Thomas Bryant, now they got Bamba as a back up center for Anthony Davis. So the Lakers Flip Bryant, Russ and Pat Bev -> Mo Bamba, D’Lo, Beasley, and Vanderbilt.
Hell yeah!!!! As a Warriors fan, I'm happy that they got GPII again. I mean the crowd likes him because of his hustle on the court and his great defensive skills. Now that they got him again, at least there will be an upgrade with their defense because they are currently at the 18th spot.

After spitting some sh*t about the Rockets in one of the podcasts and how bad the culture is, John Wall just came back and playing with them as well. I don't know, but after his contract, his career will be over. He will be like Kemba Walker who is performing very well in one season and because of injuries, their career got ruined and ended. It will be the same thing with John Wall. He can't redeem himself when he's in Clippers. He's a liability to the team.

I'm quite surprised that after having a good season, they still traded Thomas Bryant. Mo Bamba is once the starting center of the Magic, but after having Wendell Carter Jr. they put him as a reserved big and then traded. I want Thomas Bryant to be the starting center of the Magic TBH because of how he played in the Lakers. Pat Bev to Magic? I remember he said something regarding him and D'Angelo Russell being with the same team again. Cheesy Just days after he said that, he got traded as well. Funny thing.

Anyways, for the complete list of the trades that happened this season, you can see it here:

If you are a altcoin investor, do not keep all your eggs in one basket, if you believe in an altcoin, make sure it's not the only one, in fact, the more coins you have in your portfolio the lesser the risk, because not all the coins will go bad or get hacked, if one out of 5 or 10 become successful, 6x to , 10x or more, you've made back your ROI and still have some gains.
Diversification towards different projects (if you are focusing on crypto) is a good approach especially when you are just new to investing in crypto.

Being an altcoin investor is more risky compare to just invest purely into Bitcoin. It has a higher risk, but has a higher reward. As for me, whenever I'm investing into altcoins, I'd rather invest into the top altcoins in terms of market cap, but even that, I'm still doing research because we've seen top altcoins went bankrupt or a fraud project or a scam project. Diversifying towards different crypto coins is better, but diversifying towards different assets is for me the best approach.

Also, I prefer projects from the Binance launch pad because binance don't just list any projects, 85% of all projects that used Binance launchpads are successful.
I personally am not a fan of new projects though I know that there are some projects that are becoming successful. I'd rather take the safer approach which is to just invest into altcoins that has been there for a long time.

Ok so this is a little down the road from here but assuming after the next halving and bitcoin goes into another bull run, when would be a good time to sell?
There isn't an accurate answer for that because it depends on you.
You can sell it when it surpasses the $69,000 ATH. You can also sell whenever it reaches the target you once set. You can also do dollar cost averaging, but this time in selling like sell a portion when it reaches this price, and then sell again when it goes higher again.

i have already went through a couple of bull runs and bear markets but i didnt sell and take profits. I would like to sell before the next bear market to take profits this time.
Saw the 2017-2018 thing where 2017 was the year the crypto are in a bull run, and 2018 was a year of hell. Same thing with 2021-2022, I also didn't sell or took any profits (which is kind of what makes me disappointed because I can still buy in the bear market). I learned from it and will sell when the bull market starts.

So if bitcoin's cycles remain true, when roughly would be the start of the next bear market after the 2024 halving and bull run for a good time to sell. Can this be predicted somewhat? For all you TA guys when would be a good time to sell just to give me an idea? Thanks.
If the 4-year cycle will happen again, we might see 2025 as the year where Bitcoin's price will rise up significantly until it goes to a bear market again in 2026.
2024 is the halving, but Bitcoin's price doesn't rise up immediately. It will take months before it happens.

As for your question "Can this be predicted", it can be predicted, but take note that there is a 50% chance that you're prediction might be true or not. I'm not a TA guy, but even those people who are expert in TA can't give you an answer for that because there is no specific time that is considered "good" when you are selling. It all depends to you if you're ok with it. Set some targets, don't ask here and follow that strategy of yours.

Would you like to add to these signs ? Have you ever found yourself trapped in this situation and how did you get rid of this ?
Loss of self-control and financial problems.

I believe that most of the gamblers are experiencing this disorder as most of them can't control their urge to gamble even more even though they lost a huge amount already. There are some gamblers out there who can't control themselves thus, they gamble more and more that it affects other people already and at the same time, it affects their mind as well. There are some gamblers though that can control themselves and they can stop whenever they wanted to.

Compulsive gambling is a serious disorder for gamblers and if you are having this, the best thing to get rid is either reach out to an expert or go to a place where there are no physical casinos or if they are gambling online, maybe at least don't let them use smartphone and observe them. As for me, fortunately I know when to stop whenever I'm gambling so I didn't experience this, and I hope I will not.

Nets, Suns Agree On Kevin Durant Trade
The Suns will acquire Kevin Durant from the Nets in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, four first-round picks and more draft consideration, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic.

I'm quite sure that the Lakers can't afford that kind of trade because they doesn't have that much luxury anymore to give four 1st-round picks and a swap pick, and then giving away 3 players. But at least, Durant was traded to his preferred team as that's what he said last season.

Well, this time the Suns has a great chance of winning a championship. They mess up their chance before, but with Durant now, I believe they will b a better team. They have a great point guard who can also shoot, so having Durant and Booker will make them a very dangerous team.
Like I said earlier, the doors for the Suns towards a title is closing down that's why they pursued this trade and the good thing here is, they didn't gave any of their core players. Traded Bridges, Cam Johnson, Crowder and 4 draft picks to get KD. It's a huge win for the Suns with this one and with that, the Nets might now go to a rebuilding state again.

The Suns have 3 years to get a title. KD has 3 years left to his contract, CP3 is 37 years old already and Ayton? He might change after this one and be the same Ayton that we've seen during their playoff run. Booker is still Booker. The Suns are now a super team right now.

The problem with the Suns is injuries. Booker, CP3 and KD are injury prone. Is there any player with the team that can step up offensively if the worst thing happen and 2 of them are injured? I don't see anybody.

Well, I'd like to see how Durant performs with the Suns.
Will he be able to play at a level above what he was before?

Durant is already injury-prone and he will just join those injury-prone Suns players lol. Kidding aside, we don't know how he will perform as Booker is the no. 1 option on the team. But the good thing I can see here is, he will be a perfect match for Chris Paul, but not for Booker.
KD and Booker? A perfect duo. Cheesy

Both might be ball dominant players, and a score first players, but I believe there will be an adjustments that will be made just to make this super team to happen. The injuries really is the problem with the Suns right now. Yes they are a super team with 4 all-stars, but they're brittle. Brittle enough to ruin the team if 2 of these 4 will be benched for a long time because of injuries. Overall, let's see how this goes and things will not go the way they want, they will trade CP3 and probably Ayton next off-season.
