Terrafirma dyip won the game against blackwater bossing which is a very good matchup we all know that Terrafirma trying to prove to us that they are not a farm team anymore and by the help of their import Jordan willams who contributed a lot this game a lot of good shot and especially for the locals who contributed well this match. But special mention to the import of blackwater Troy willams who doing great and trying to carry his team but maybe it's not the time yet. Maybe next game they will win.
Nope they still are a farm team, and 2 wins can't change that fact.  They've traded most of their top picks in the past for some role players, and the trend will still continue because... they are a farm team. 2 independent farm teams fought in the first game. It's good that both of the imports scored 50+ points which is kind of surprising because in these past games, we've seen imports like Hudson, Franklin, Selden and Brownlee and now the 2 Williams having high points. This might have a domino effect for other imports thus, they might think that they might do better offensively as well.
On the other hand, the 2nd game is a low scoring game, but still the SMB have a perfect record with 5-0. 4 of their 6 remaining games are against the top teams right now like Ginebra, Converge (which is their next opponent), NLEX and TNT. |

I have savings, but I can't consider it as untouchable savings because I can use that savings if there is a certain thing that I need to buy, or if there is an emergency where I need some funds to pay the bills. I can't considered it as an untouchable savings, but just a simple "emergency fund". My story is rather uninteresting, but let me know yours. Does this idea also apply to you? You could have the money to buy a new car to replace your old and broken one but you prefer not to touch it. Do you hold yourself from spending what you have to the point of depriving yourself of what you deserve? Do you keep significant savings for occasions that might only happen in your imagination? Or at what point would you allow yourself to be drained of your last penny?
Your experience is something that I didn't experience when I was studying. I didn't deprive myself from foods or anything because I need it because if you are suffering from hunger, your way of thinking and your whole body will get affected. What I'm not doing at that time is spending my money into things that I don't need. At that time, I can still save money from what I'm doing, but for sure it wasn't the same as yours. Overall, your way of thinking isn't normal for a student because most of the students now are having this "YOLO" mindset where they will just spend and spend without thinking their future. Depriving myself is something that I will not do especially when it comes to necessities. I mean you can deprive yourself from entertainment or pleasure, but from the things that we need. Currently, I always hold myself from spending to the things that I don't need because I need money to buy something that I need. |

How long do you think you can hold?
It all comes to discipline. If you are always thinking of you're holdings, you will feel that 3 months = 3 years. If you always think of the possible profits that you can get in holding Bitcoin, you will feel that 5 days = 5 years. You get my point. I guess the owner of that address just forgot that he got that amount of Bitcoins, and I don't know if we can consider him as lucky because he still got the private keys after more than a decade, or he really kept the keys for a reason. How long can I hold? 5 years is the minimum, but I can still hold it even longer when needed. I mean I know that past performance doesn't mean it will happen in the future, but I believe it will and if that happens, all Bitcoin holders will be happy. |

Some are paying and some are not.
There are factors that can be considered whenever you are joining in a bounty. TBH, bounty campaigns right now isn't as profitable as it was years ago (base on my experience) and most of the bounty campaigns right now aren't paying the bounty hunters.
There are some bounty campaigns that pays their token to the hunters, but the question is "Will that token that they paid to you have value?". Most of the tokens that I got from bounty campaign when I'm still joining it didn't have any value at all. Yes they paid me, but the token is useless since it doesn't have any value at all.
You're question is quite general in anyway. There are some bounty campaigns that are paying but even so, you getting money from it isn't a guarantee because most of the tokens might not have any value at all.

Some might saw it already, but I'll share my opinion with this 3 team trade deal. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/lakers-trade-russell-westbrook-blockbuster-3-team-deal-reports3 team trade deal
Los Angeles Lakers - D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt
Utah Jazz - Russell Westbrook, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones, and Los Angeles' protected 2027 first-round pick
Minnesota Timberwolves - Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and three second-round picks All of the 3 teams are winners on this one because the players that they've got will have an effect on the team that they will be playing now. Well, at least that's what I saw in this one. Utah Jazz - The roster is composed of young players like Clarkson, Sexton, Markkanen, THT. They have lots of scorers and adding Westbrook which is a past-first player will be a big help for the team because he can just pass the ball to these scorers. Add also JTA and Damian Jones for defensive purposes. Los Angeles Lakers - The Lakers are in need of a point guard that can also score and Russell is the good pick for this one since he's fit for the team. It's a re-unite after him being traded. After the acquisition of Hachimura, they also added Jarred Vanderbilt which is a very good defender as well. Beasley on the other hand is a streaky three-point shooter. Minnesota Timberwolves - Of all the three, they are the ones that I see the players that they got will have a less impact within the team. A veteran Conley might still be helpful with the team because he's a reliable point guard and his experience might help the team, the age though is a problem at least. |

Being a student is so hard nowadays. I've been spending a lot for school requirements and different activities related to education. I'm stuck with this saying "SAVING IS WASTING", thinking that with the little amount of money I have, should I put it on an investment or should I just save it for my future expenses or emergencies. I'm also living in a country in which there are limited side hustles I could do to earn extra for investment, so I'm troubled somehow.
Priorities. Build a plan base on your priorities. You said that you're a student then prioritize your studies. Prioritize going to school. Prioritize your needs for your school. Prioritize your school requirements. Don't stress yourself out because of money or saving in this case because for me, getting a degree and getting a job after studying is a better thing to do than stressing yourself out because of money. If you can get a good job, money will come to you then that's the time that you will think about it. When I was a student, I didn't think about investing, but I focused on my studies. Studied hard and fortunately, graduated from college. After that, that's the time where I thought about money. I saved money at the start because that's what the older people taught to us, but as I studied investing, I realize that I'm wrong. Not wrong literally, but I was wrong that I saved all of my money in a bank account. Cut the story short, I still save money until now, but that's money is my emergency funds only. There's nothing wrong with saving as long as you are doing it for emergency funds. Focus on your priorities first. You're a student so focus on studies first. After graduating, get a job then put a portion of your salary in investment and put a portion of it in emergency funds. Save money for emergency funds only, and don't save for the sake of saving (well at least that's how I think). |

History has been made! Congratulations to Lebron James surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the All Time Scoring Leader in NBA history.
LeBron is on fire in the game against the Thunder. It looks like he scored 36 points too easily, and now he can be called the scoring king, as he is officially the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. It would be nice if the Lakers won on this historic night, but LeBron clearly needs the support of his teammates in the fourth quarter as the Thunder still leads by a few points. Unfortunately, they lost the game, but everyone is at their feet when he broke the record, and then he acknowledge Kareem himself and Magic and his family and of course the NBA. This is one for the history books folks, majority of us never got the chance to see Jabbar have that record. But in this era, we've witnessed Lebron James and still continue to score in this season to break away from the pack. Can't blame though because after all, this kind of event happens only once in a blue moon. We see it as an unfortunate loss, but what if the Lakers are at the top right now? Do we see the same thing. Come to think of it. When will be the next time that we will see a player breaking Lebron's scoring record? It's very unfortunate that the Lakers dropped their defense, and let their opponents score 133 points, but to see this once-in-a-lifetime event is more than a win already and for sure the Lakers will understand it. I'm not a Lakers fan, but for sure, Laker nation are happy with the history that they saw and they don't care about the loss they got tonight.  Let's watch the full interview of Lebron James after getting the scoring record. It's a good interview (at least for me). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wre18rbgqCQ |

What an exciting game between TNT and Converge. It was a shootout, LOL.. a high scoring game as both imports have done their job very well.
Converge is not undefeated anymore, TNT defeated them in a close battle.
Import vs Import match up
Hudson 56 points
Franklin 47 points.
Yeah, that was a great game, it was an entertaining one but TNT just the better team in implementing the right plays in the dying minutes of the game. That's the kind of game Converge has to learn, it's learned through experience and TNT has a lot of that. Meanwhile, we have the Ginebra and NLEX going on, Ginebra take the lead going to the locker room, but overall it was just a close game. NLEX import seemed to be playing well too, despite his first game, he already scored 18 points at the half. Why did they scheduled these 2 matches on weekdays? These 2 games that we witnessed right now are very good and close games that audiences for sure will feel the excitement as they watch their favorite teams competing. 2 imports stepped up in a close match. 56 point 12 rebound game for Hudson while a near triple double 47-14-7 for Franklin. These 2 imports are great imports and if they will continue to play like this, there is a high chance that both of them might return and play to PBA again in the future. Congratulations to TNT as they give Converge their first loss of the conference. Anyway, both NLEX and Converge who don't have any losses are now with 1 loss each. Only SMB is the team that doesn't have a loss right now, and their next game will be against a 3-1 Meralco Bolts. Congratulations to all winners.  |

From his first shot way back to 2003, to being the youngest player to get 10,000 points, to youngest to get 20,000 points, to youngest to get 30,000 points and now the record that most of the people see as a record that's impossible to be broken has been done by the kid from Akron, Ohio. The kid who wants to be a pass-first guy, broke the scoring record that's been unbreakable for nearly 4 decades
He's just amazing. I have nothing to say and I'm literally crying and at the same time, happy with what he achieved. Whether you are a fan of Lebron or a hater of Lebron, maybe you are happy with what he achieved. From his former teammates, to popular celebrities, to even President Biden. They are all congratulating him for what he achieved in his 20-year NBA journey.
Now that the history has been made and we've seen Lebron James beating Kareem's record that he held for nearly 4 decades, the question right now that comes to my mind is "Can he reached 40,000 points?" I mean it just came out of my mind and he still have one and a half season on his contract so there might be a chance that he can reach that milestone unless, he will lay-low in his future games.
Anyway, I'm still amazed on what he achieved. I'm not a big fan of Lebron, but to see him being the new all-time scoring leader aside to the fact that he is also at the top 5 in assists all-time is just something that nobody can break. TBH, I don't know if there is somebody that can break Lebron's record in the next decade or two unless there will be a massive change in terms of offense.

There is no gray in area in spreading FUD's. It's all black area therefore, it is unethical.
I mean is there a time where spreading a FUD became ethical?
FUD itself is considered unethical, but for me, FUD's is a good thing especially when that FUD really has a great effect on the price of every cryptocurrencies. FUD's = opportunity for us here while for some, FUD is something that they hate.
Overall, people see FUD's differently. There are times that they see it as an ethical way for some reasons and there are some like me who are not. After all, spreading FUD's to the public is a perfect way for the market to be shaken. FUD's for me is a way to remove the weak hands.

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. Para sa akin, walang masiadong dagdag na damage yung tier 8-tier 9 pero dagdag PS pa rin yan. Iba naman ang strategy ko pagdating sa epic skills. Since hindi pa epic skills lahat (may isa pang hindi), cinocombine ko lahat ng epic skills ko hanggang mai epic ko lahat bago ako maguupgrade ng tier 9. Kung pakiramdam ko swerte ako pag epic na lahat, icocombine ko pa rin baka maging legendary . Nainspire lang ako sa ka-ally namin noon na nakakuha ng Legendary na Ultimate ng Arbalist at naging tradable pa. Ayun lumipat na ng server para maibenta at hindi na bumalik. xD 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 . Kadalasan mga Devils na Thai ang pumapatay sa amin. |

Their new import, Wayne Selden Jr. just came in into our league and he will face the Ginebra immediately. . Currently no odds on Stake still but, I might bet on Converge and NLEX to win on this one. I would not bet on NLEX at this game, they might be having some chemistry issues, and Ginebra is also a good team, so I'll just observe first, maybe I'll be taking the Ginebra in live betting if the spread is high. By the way, here's the resume of their new import, he played in the NBA for four seasons, so this guy is surely a good competitor. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/seldewa01.htmlActually betting odds are already up, they are +5.5 against the Ginebra San Miguel. I think the odds sounds fair because Ginebra is a good team and NLEX has a new import that has to blend well with the team yet, so I would ride the Ginebra pick, besides, they are not good in covering the spread. Even though the new import of NLEX was a former NBA player, he has yet to adjust to the style of play in the PBA so yeah, chemistry would be an issue in this game and for me that handicap of 5.5 is just fair and can be easily covered by the Gin Kings. Ginebra -5.5 @1.96 vs NLEX
I'm predicting that NLEX will be on the downhill with the arrival of their new import so that bet of mine above is the way to go . That's the best bet I guess. Maybe the under 214.5 @ 1.79 might be a good one as well. Tonight, we might see the NLEX suffering their first loss on this one. I agree with what you said that the import changing has a big effect on how the team will play as the chemistry around the team is greatly affected. A team with chemistry that is affected against the team with a chemistry that has been built for a long time already. I'll bet on 214.5 @1.79 later. |

Nets vs Suns, Phoenix -5.5, Nets are good with Claxton and Cam Thomas, but I think they will shutdown Cam Thomas here and not allow him to score another 40 point game.
No one can stop Thomas. It's his 3rd straight consecutive game where he scored 40+ points. I considered him as a reserve, but when Irving got traded, he is not the starting shooting guard of the team and he is very impressive in his last 3 games. Though they lost again against the Suns, he is showing some improvements already. He might get the player of the week award. Knicks vs Magic, Gonna be a good game, Knicks solid in road, -1.5 for them.
Good game for the Knicks on the road as they won by 4 points. Congratulations on your win as well. Randle and Brunson both scored 25 points each. Still, Randle is acting like a shooting guard and just tonight, he attempted 15 shots again. I just don't know why Coach Thib is still letting him do what he wants to do where in fact, that's not his position. I mean it's understandable if it's from inside the paint, but in his 15 attempts, 10 there are from 3-point area and he is only 33.3% career three point shooter which is decent.
Anyway, Thunder and Lakers are on-going now and every time Lebron has the ball, the fans urge him to shoot the ball. I think there is a chance that he might break the record tonight. There are also some veteran players out there like Kareem and James Worthy. |

Nic is stepping up, Simmons? nah, I don't see him becoming the same player as he was with the Sixers. Cam Thomas is a young players so he has the potential to become a Booker or Tatum like player, can impact a team if he continue like this. Nic has been with Irving and KD and has been improving every year. And if I'm not mistaken, he has up his blocks, so he might be a good candidate for DPOY in my opinion.
Let's wait for KD to comeback, maybe him and Thomas could have a good chemistry. He might be the mentor for him and KD might enjoy this new role of his, let's see.
Forget Simmons already because he will not be the same anymore. The trauma that the Philly fans gave to him really affected him so much and so his basketball career. Claxton and Thomas are the young players of the team that has potential I agree. Claxton has been the surprise big right now because he is leading the block and always having a double-double. Thomas on the other hand just had his 2nd consecutive 40 point game and with Irving out, Coach Vaughn might give him more playing time to showcase himself if he can be a perfect player for the team or not. The problem with the Nets right now is, what will KD's next move after this. Will he stay in Brooklyn next season? Will he play alongside promising players? With Kyrie out, the chances of Nets winning a title decreased drastically and most of them didn't have a playoff experience or at least the only have less playing time when it comes to playoffs. Claxton and Thomas are inexperienced in playoffs (for me) because they are role players back 2 years ago. I'll wait for KD to come back and see how the new Nets team will be at the 2nd half of the season. |

bitcoin can Crashed again Below $20K Level or Not ?
how much Probability for Down ?
Maybe yes, maybe no. I mean my prediction for Bitcoin this year is that, it will go sideways at the price range of $17,000-$25,000 and the month of January is over already and the price of Bitcoin is around my price range prediction. It looks like many aren't like Bitcoin to go to $25,000 because the $24,000 acted as a resistance. How much is the probability for it to go down. 50%. After all, Bitcoin only has two options. Either to go up or to go down. suggest please I can bear some Loss but Can,t afford 100% loss
You can only experience 100% loss when you invest into a shitcoin, a meme coin, a dead coin, or a scam coin. With Bitcoin, you can experience losses, but I don't think that you can get 100% loss there unless you will make bad decisions like selling at a wrong time maybe causing you to suffer losses. You buy Bitcoin and hold it. You will not get 100% loss. waiting for all expert members suggestion?
I'm not an expert, but I can share what I know. |

I put a small amount of money to the Nets during the game before they got an 8 point lead at the 4th quarter and seeing that attractive odds, I gambled to them.
It is hard to bet against the Clippers if both Kawhi and PG are on the floor. They are great defenders and closers that can easily wipe the lead of their opponents. Especially against the Nets right now which does not have a reliable superstar on the floor. The odds can be attractive, but you have to look at who they are going against, Kawhi and PG with very reliable role players. Yeah I agree with you that both of them are a great defenders and include Zubac which is also a great rim defender and a rebounder as well. It's my mistake because I got attracted by the odds and it's their home court and at the same time, Thomas just erupted again that's why I put my bet on them. They got a 7 or 8 point lead until the Clippers made 2 7-0 runs because of the mistakes that the Nets did. That's how I see the Clippers too, Leonard is so back to his old self, so this team is a scary team now. With Leonard leading the team, they will surely have more wins in the coming games and the playoff spot will be ensured. They beat the Nets but unfortunately they failed to cover the spread, or maybe you guys won if you bet early as I believe the line just moved.
They aren't in the 4th spot for nothing. They are only 1 game away from the 3rd and 3 games away from the 2nd. I just hope that injuries will not spoil their good run this season because both of them have a history of injuries. Without them, they are just a regular team. |

Who's betting on Lebron to break the points made of all time tomorrow?
Based on my sportsbook, Lebron is 2.12 if he will score 35+ points, that's a huge number but I believe he will likely achieve that tomorrow since OKC is not so defensive, they even score over 150 before, so for sure it will be a battle of offense.
The OKC thunder are 12th in defensive rating right now. Not at the bottom, but not on the top as well. They just lost to the Warriors by a huge margin. The game will be held on Crypto.com arena and for sure, the arena will be filled with fans who are excited to see the history. I don't know if it's only me, but I got a feeling that the Lakers will do the same as what they did to Kobe on his last game where he scored 60 points in 50 shots. I know Lebron will not shot 50 times to break the record, but there's a chance that Lebron will be their focal person offensively. I'll watch this one I want to see it even on livestream only. On the other hand, Lebron averaged less than 30 PPG in his last 3 games so if this game will be a normal game for the whole team, there's a chance that Lebron might not break it against the Thunder, but if that happens, good thing that their next game will be against the Bucks on Crypto.com arena as well. He's not happy with the management that's why he choose to ask for trade. But since he land on a Dallas which have good management maybe he might like to stay there especially he has Luka which is proven to be one of the best and their current rooster is solid already. If Kyrie decide to leave after his contract end maybe kyrie just only want to make his name create noise again. If he keep doing that I don't know if there's still a team will get him in future even if he is so good.
But its speculated that after his contract with mavs he will not sign and decide to go with Lakers but let see if this happen.
Him staying with the Mavericks will depend on him. Let's take note that he wants to be a Laker, and he will be a free agent after this season. If the Lakers will do everything just to get Kyrie next season then they might pursue him in exchange for their remaining draft picks and maybe some role players. The problem with Kyrie is his defense. Him and Luka aren't good defensively so expect that the defensive rating of the Mavericks will go down even lower now that they gave away defense for more offense. |

Magnolia did a great job of acting quickly and right after that SMB loss, the replacement is already set in action.
Their new import Antonio Hester is not new to the PBA environment and at least his experience playing in the league should provide him comfort and not that being pressured. He's now with the team where he will surely have lots of support from local teammates compared to his first import stint in the league playing in Terrafirma.
Like I said in my previous posts, either 1 or all of the winless teams will be replacing their imports. Magnolia who we know is a championship contender is expected to change their import because scoring only 10+ in 2 consecutive games is just unacceptable. On other things, it seems like the Rain or Shine is also thinking of changing their import, Michael Qualls because of lack of chemistry of the team. They are assessing whether they will replace him or not. For Antonio Hester, he's a ex-import of TerraFirma and currently playing on Zamboanga Valientes with the 2-time NBA champion and former teammate of Wade, Lebron and Bosh, Mario Chalmers.
 2 exciting games will be played tomorrow. First game. Converge is trying to make their win streak go to 5 as they will face the TNT Tropang Giga who just came from a victory against the Magnolia Hotshots. Second game. The NLEX just changed their import, but the problem is they will be facing the crowd favorite, Brgy. Ginebra. Their new import, Wayne Selden Jr. just came in into our league and he will face the Ginebra immediately. . Currently no odds on Stake still but, I might bet on Converge and NLEX to win on this one. |

And I think many more people are still trying to invest on Bitcoin, I have friends which I introduced to Bitcoin and they have invested already.
As adoption increases, so as investors and people who wants to invest into Bitcoin. It's good to you that you managed to attract some friend of yours and convinced them to invest into Bitcoin. Unfortunately, I don't have the courage to share my information to other people unless they're the ones that will approach me because from that, I can feel that they're interested into it. I don't want to spend time to people who aren't interested at first place. So guys for you to be a good investor you have to introduce Bitcoin to other who are not on this forum, enlighten them couch them how it works too.
I disagree. That's pure stupidity. So you're saying that I'm not a good investor since I'm not introducing Bitcoin to other people? What kind of mindset is that? Is the basis now of an investor being a good one or not is thru introducing Bitcoin? I'm neither a good or a bad investor and TBH, I don't know what's your basis of an investor being good or bad. If not introducing Bitcoin makes me a bad investor then take all my Bitcoins then.  BITCOIN IS HERE TO STAY.
As long as there's demand, as long as there's investors who are willing to invest into it then it will stay. Just look at Stock Market. Been here for many decades, but it's still there. |
