I think Curry can break the number of championships Jordan has won.
If remains healthy, he can do that for sure. Curry is only 34 years old, there are plenty of seasons to be played and he just needs to win 3 straight seasons so he can break the record of MJ, and of course, win the finals MVP as well so it would solidify his legacy. Looking at him, he's not an injury prone type of person as he's more shooting outside safely and when he drives the ball near the paint, he also make it sure to be safe and that's good for him as he have more years ahead of him in this league. He is sure the greatest 3PT shooter, so he need to play it safe every game as the team badly need him too. 3 more championship ring and he can get ahead on Jordan's record and about the Finals MVP, this is his 1st award so he still have a long way ahead. Perhaps the 6 ring will be enough for Curry to accomplished in his career. He has 4 already, Jordan 6 so he needs 2 more. If he keeps being healthy then maybe he can tie the record and leave Kobe and Lebron. But as far as the GOAT in 3PT he has sealed in already, I think his record will stand the test of time. Regarding his body, he has improved a lot, he is so muscular now that he can absorb the force specially when he will go for a layup. |

NFTs and other Blockchain technologies are still in the early stages of their market lifespan, while physical video game media is on the way out. With these two trends coinciding, it shouldn’t be long now before we see NFTs changing how software is distributed and owned in the video game market forever. Will NFTs solve the problems of digital ownership in the video game market? Or are they simply a passing fad? It won’t be long now before we find out.
I'm not sure what you meant by how the software is being owned by the distributor because they are the real owners. But we all know that they are a lot of pirated games, so maybe that's one way to somewhat prevent it. As for if NFT are fad? Well history tells us this, ICO-IEO-Defi and then others. What I'm trying to drive at is that crypto is based on that. It's evolving new hype is created and then the old one just died down. So this might be the case in the future if we will have some craze in the next 2 years and NFT might be forgotten. |

And there it is, steph and his first nba finals mvp. 4th in what like 8 years for golden state. This one verifies dynasty status. Made some decent money laying on the Warriors. Outside of the Memphis games I think they cleaned up against the spread.
They prove the 14% chance of winning wrong, Warriors is unstoppable same thing with Curry. In this conference, Curry really carry the whole team into the finals and in the last 4 games, Curry proves to be a deserving player to get the MVP award, it’s good to see them being a Champion again. I like the loyalty of Curry in Warriors, we can still expect more greatness from them. Congrats also to those who placed their bet with Warriors, you’re also a winner, cheers!  Well he noted the organizations in his MVP speech or after they won the game interview. I think he will be loyal to the team until he retires for good. Yes, he has taken a back seat with Durant winning back to back MVP and title. But this time, it was all Curry. Maybe Durant now is salty after leaving them and joining forces with Harden (who left) and then Kyrie who is a big head ache for the Nets organization. But in any case, as others have said, well deserved MVP for him and the ring for the 4th time and being crowned as the latest team to be a dynasty. |

There are many prediction models that predict the price of bitcoin. One of the famous models is the Plan B stock-to-flow model. It is predicted that BTC would reach $100k before the end of the year.
Here is what I want to know the view of the community about.
1. Do you think such prediction models are realistic?
2. What major event do you think will usher BTC and the entire industry into the next bullrun?
3. Do you think Microstragy purchasing large units of btc will influence the price?
Some are of the opinion that sovereign funds and institutions will buy at discount. Well, what do you think?
Only one, bitcoin halving (as what others have pointed out). True, maybe Saylor announcing that he will purchase large units of bitcoin might bring more investors. But it will not be enough as compare to the halving every 4 years as this is where the cycle starts for the next bull run. It might not be a quick effect and it might take months after the activity. But once it took off, it's really hard to stop the bulls and maybe that $100k that we all wanted to see will be in fruition come 2024-2025. |

Aside from Bivol being huge, he's more comfortable at his own division while Canelo was indeed struggling at that weight class. About their power, I'd say they're somehow equal and fair. In the past, he's looking to move at cruiserweight, right? And that didn't materialized as he definitely know that he is just a somebody at that division.
Canelo Alvarez already beaten a boxer the same as Dmitry Bivol weight class that's why I think he is not struggling at Cruiserweight class. It's just that Dmitry Bivol play the right tactics that beat Canelo. Only few believes that Bivol will win that fight but he did still win because of being patient and calm. He destroys Canelo's gameplay by make the latter pissed off and that destroys his focus. GGG knows how to handle Canelo and I'm sure he also watched how Canelo got beaten badly by Bivol. He will combined those tactics to stop Canelo turning into a focus beast like what Bivol did. I'm sure GGG still has lots of left in the tank but just having difficulty now to performed it 100%. You mean LHW? 175 lbs? And that is Kovalev, Canelo face him when Kovalev was no longer in his prime. But Canelo admitted that it was a very hard fight for him and that is also the reason he moved down to 168 lbs and didn't defend the belt at 175 lbs. That is already one sign that LHW is not for him, so we don't know why they decided to face Bivol, a young and pure 175 lbs and a champion at that division. And maybe that is the last time that we will see him LHW. the perfect division for him is the SMW. |

Boston was the favourite in the finals, but they played so badly in the games they lost that the Warriors went on to win another championship. Boston team is young and has little experience, they may make it to the finals again in the coming years, but we can say that this was the last dance of the Warriors. If Tatum hadn't been so bad, maybe we'd have seen the Boston championship. I wonder what they will do next year. They showed that they were not mentally ready.
Yep, lack of experience is the main reason why the Celtics lost the final series. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about Tatum's performance. On the one hand, he averaged over 21 points per game throughout this series, and on the other hand, he hasn't had impressive performances and hasn't looked like a team leader. In any case, congratulations to the Warriors for winning the championship and another ring. They clearly deserved it, especially Curry and Wiggins. Right, we have been discussing this, the Warriors has the DNA of a champion and has been in this situations with Curry, Thompson and Green. And now they have the new guys, but still the outcome is still the same. I would say Tatum has a good performance in the finals, but it's not his breakout, his against Durant in the first round and then against Giannis might be his best in this series. But for sure, having lost this year, they will be back next season wanting more and to win that NBA trophy. |

First, how would they say that Doge is a good investment on the first place? And yes, I don't think they will have a case against Elon, probably Musk will just laugh it off. It's not that Elon is the owner of have total control of Doge. Sure maybe he did some influencing on the side, but we all know that Elon is sometimes a troll and I would put everything with a grain of salt to everything he says against or for crypto like Doge. Sorry for those who lost their many believing what Elon is saying in his twitter or any other social media accounts.

One have to be watchful as we buy more bitcoin, the way the market is going down it seem the market will still go down dip. It is never still bad to buy bitcoin at its current price if you still believe in bitcoin and can have patience with bitcoin for the price to comes up . Let the emotion decide if it is okay to buy because of volatility.
Today the price goes up more than 5%, and hopefully there is no negative sentiment that makes the price will drop, I'm worried that if the price drops below $ 20k it will continue red and difficult to rise again, if 2 or 3 more days the price can reach $ 25k then I am optimistic that the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise and return to $ 40 no later than July. It didn't last that long though, the price goes down again in the levels of $20k, (which others say might be the bottom). Obviously, the support is around $20k, I haven't seen it broken yet, but if it did, maybe there is another thread that says $13k is possible. But we shall see, in this bear market, it's really hard to tell the trend line, and support/resistance maybe in not applicable. |

Size difference. That's correct, they have the edge on that, and using Horford more in post-up situations may be one of their key factors to win.
Also, I'd like to see more alley-oop for Robert Williams as we can see how high he can go and no one can definitely reach it. That's a sure deuce for them given a good pick and roll will happen.
I am excited once again, just a few more hours and we will be watching the possible ending of this season or 1 more game in San Francisco.
Look at Horford's stats, he impressed everyone by scoring 26 points in the first game, but then he only scored a combined 30 points over the next 4 games. I have no doubt he can still dominate the paint and be helpful to the team, but the Celtics obviously shouldn't rely on him in the deciding game. As for Robert Williams, his status is questionable, and he might miss the game because of left knee soreness. Yeah, and maybe as other said in social media, Horford got lucky in game 1 and steal that game for the Warriors. Now they are on the other side as they have to win this game. Robert Williams can take advantage and used his athleticism, but if he is not 100% healthy, then he has his limits. Brown and Smart need to produce big numbers just like in game 3. So we are all excited as we will see if the series is going to be stretch on another game 7 decided or the Warriors winning the Finals and end a great season. I have a dream that the Celtics won game 6 by dominating the Warriors beating them by 30+ points. Maybe I'm just too excited to see a game 7 but they said dreams are the opposite of the reality, hahaha.. so I don't know, I will just enjoy the game and see if Celtics could really bounce back. They could win in double digits no doubt, but dominating the Warriors by 30+ points? Anyhow, we are all excited to see if there will be a new champion this year or will it go to game 7 at Chase Center. And we all know that Tatum, Brown and Smart played very well in their home court and that's why bookies put them in the favorite position, 1.5x-1.6x is the current odd swing. So we will see if your dreams can become reality (Celtics winning),  |

I'm thinking that Inoue would face Butler first before he considers moving to another division. Casimero was not in the picture for now, unfortunately but that's his reality after the incident.
He's going to face and it's going to be an easy fight, I doubt if Casimero will have a chance to fight Inoue, he cannot make the weight it's time for Casimero and for us to move forward for now unless they face each other again in the higher division, Casimero cannot keep up anymore on the division where Inoue is reigning unless there's there are circumstances that will make them face each other so let's see how it's going to be now that Donaire is out of the picture. For the sake of getting another belt? yeah, perhaps Inoue is more willing to fight Butler then before moving up in weight and have the bragging rights of cleaning up the division. Casimero is no longer in the discussion for now. He has to work his way up again, be the number 1 contender or the mandatory and maybe that's the time that Inoue will give him the chance. No boxer will have enough titles they will try to win as many titles as possible, which will define their skill and their legacy, Butler already announced that he wants Inoue next Naoya Inoue's next fight: Paul Butler calls for undisputed title showdownSo in the coming weeks or months, we'll have the news of the two meeting in the ring, this fight will heavily favor Inoue as he is the better fighter than Butler. The truth is I don't know if this is correct, I think Buttler won't be able to do anything, already with the failure that Donaire showed I think he won't have much of a chance against Inoue, now Inoue has had a great level in terms of fighting, what he wants most to do is finish all his fights by knockout, at one point many said that the one who was going to seek the knockout was going to be Donaire, others think that Buttler is weaker than Donaire, in my personal opinion I would not say that Butler is weaker or stronger, every fight it's a different story and you should take advantage of all the fights they can offer. Seems legit, I checked it out and find another source to see if it's a real story and it turns out that Paul Butler was really calling Inoue in the past weeks for the title of an undisputed bantamweight. Paul Butler Desperately Wants To Fight Naoya InoueButler was lying on his own teeth because he quite knew that Inoue have changed into a real monster and even Donaire admit that he cannot react well as he cannot follow Inoue's punches. Butler just wanted to be the first one to call about the fight to somehow make a hype in his name while trying to sell the fight in advance as he also know that their fight is inevitable because he have the WBO belt. Perhaps this is just about the money that Butler can get from this fight. And it's also interesting if one of his demands will be that the fight be held in UK? Inoue traveling to UK and beat their champion, unify the bantamweight division. But we shall see what Butler's promotion are going to do. I think they will rather have him face Casimero first. And if ever he win that, then book a fight with Inoue. |

We love this two fighters, but after the second fight, it seems that Canelo head and ego grow big as he doesn't want to give GGG his trilogy. But finally, it was set already so again, emotions are going to run high between the two fighters as GGG said that he won both fights and then chase Canelo for many years.
Who will resist expected big money in return just to accept the call of everybody to do a trilogy with GGG? Before the fight with Bivol, it was reported that Canelo reached an agreement to fight Bivol plus two more fights in 2022 in exchange for $160 million. That was just for 1-year fighting and that was an insane amount already that Canelo will surely bag this year, I think regardless of the result. We just don't how much specifically he will earn with the trilogy. That money figure that Canelo expectedly to receive this year alone, contributes to his status as one of having the highest net worth in sports. That amount is already huge, more than enough for his retirement. But he has a long way to go to his retirement phase. Canelo is favored on this match, so the pressure is real. He should show us a different Canelo here and have a very worthwhile match. Yes, that amount is already huge enough to cover his expenses for his along with his beloved family but that money is still not enough and he will still get more because we know that Canelo can still dance will in the ring and he is still at the peak of his prime, that said, $160 Million is just a small amount compared to what he could bag in the coming years. I'm just curious though, @goinmerry said, that said figure was paid to him in-exchange to fight Bivol and other 2 fights. Who's the 3rd boxer? As we all know, Bivol and GGG were the ones who established the fight this year, so there could be a 3rd fight for Canelo this year after September? I'm curious about that. Names like David Benavidez, one of the Charlo twins or even Arthur Beterviev's name has been popping up as potential fight for Canelo in the future. Of course, this boxers are also going to look for more money in the shortest possible time. They know that they can't box and they have this prime years. After that it's all downhill for them. So they hav to take advantage and squeeze as much money as they can for them and for their future (wife, kids, business etc). |

Spence has the 3 belts (WBC, IBF, and WBA recently from defeating Ugas) so he has done more cleaning in this division than Crawford did because he only got the WBO belt since 2018.
That is because Terence Crawford never had a chance to compete with big names under Top Rank promotions which he always requested. Also, the fact that Spence is dodging Crawford because the latter thinks it's not worth his time. Spence on the other hand always got his preferred fight and make sure he will win all his title fights and that's what he is today claiming 3 Championship belts under WBC, IBF, and WBA as you have mentioned. In Terence Crawford's fight history, the expected fight against Spence will be the biggest fight in his career. If he was able to unify all the Welterweight titles beating Spence if ever, Crawford will now begin to move up weight to extend some good credentials on his career. He has lots of targets if successfully defeated Spence in the process. That's also why he decides to leave and didn't re-sign under the roof of the Top Rank Promotions after he fought and won against Shawn Porter. Bob Arum was just milking him too much without understanding his boxers as they too have boxers in my mind to help them in climbing the ladder. Now that he's a free agent, he can decide anything and will earn more without giving some cut to his promoters. Are there any updates about this fight? Hopefully, they can announce it before the end of June. Well that's what promoters did before Crawford, Bob Arum milk the hell out of Manny and when he lost, Manny has an excused not to sign with him. And it seems this is also the way Tank Davis is going with his career, not to sign with Floyd and be a freelancer so that he can make his own fight. Fight that we fans deserved, after all we are the one bringing the money for this top boxers so they understand if we didn't get the fight we wanted. |

Monkey pox is not going to stay for long, since its virus is neither as infectious as covid, nor does it as mutating as covid virus. So we need not to worry and as much as omicron is concerned. We have achieved herd immunity, So there is not much to worry about. You can just relax and enjoy
I do not think that now there is a reason to relax and have fun. Viruses mutate and we don't know what will happen in the future. Everything can be very sad. If these viruses are produced in some laboratory and sent to the world for a specific purpose, then this will not increase our health. Being healthy is very important if you want to make money. Perhaps the point of him saying to relax is to take it easy as majority of us have been vaccinated + booster. Cases in our country has slow down a bit and it seems everything is back to normal now. Schools are going back face to face, everyone is out in the malls or beach or whatever they missed during the covid-19 lockdown. If there will be new mutations, then it's going to be a battle between the pharmaceutical companies to discover another vaccine. Of course health is wealth, maybe you have to take care of yourself still, but for now it's good to see that we are in the 'normal' state. |

They should because they knew that Curry have carried the team in the past few games since the Finals started, he was consistent and unstoppable than even the DOTY, Marcus Smart, couldn't handle him and limit him very well. It's not that Steph Curry had a bad night but because he was heavily guarded that's why he only focused to attack inside as he couldn't do much outside because he's double teamed. As said, Thompson grabbed the chance while he's always open because the Celtics is so focused to limit Stephen Curry's production. But they still won the game though  I actually think it was a mistake because they just only concentrated on Stephen Curry and that has taken the focus off from the other players. That has certainly helped his team put on a good show for him. Now I think he will be ready for the next game because he is going to find out how to beat the system that his opponent is taking against him. Regards Duke Yeah, this is one reason, maybe Celtics took too much of their attention to Curry. But they should have adjusted already when they saw that Steph is not making 3's, but it just shows that many facets of the Warriors. Wiggins and Thompson carry the team and the Celtics can't stop them. It's game 6 now, it's desperation time for Boston, can they still work as a team and get that one needed win to force game 7? The line has favored them, so they really have to come up with a big win, just saying. |

Some news I heard that there are some large investment funds standing by, calling to save Terra in the market. But honestly, I'm still amazed at how quickly it evaporated. Now its reputation in this space has fallen out of favor and is almost a scam for those who have been and are participating, suffering large losses.
its a big disappointment after all tbh, and i hope they didn't sold their bitcoin and use it to save luna and it's now for their reputation as well. Because you know obviously a lot of investors are suffering because of them so they need to do something to fix the situation, hence, if its true that they have funds that standing by, then they need to execute it immediately to save the community and their reputation, i mean no need to wait for more results. No one can save Terra or the company itself. They hav dig a hole so deep that not even huge backers from crypto and non-crypto entities can get them out. As for the predicament of USDD, I do hope that they won't collapse, the people behind should understand that they need to prevent it at all cost. They should learn from the UST debacle, they should have more reserves or at least find a liquid asset that can be hedge as a reserves for them. |

Even though we haven't heard any 'official announcement' yet, might be just sometime now as they might have been ironing out few things before going out in public.
And as mentioned, maybe the date and venue is one obstacles that they have to settled. The network will have to come out as the best place for this fight is, and then the date itself.. I think money wise and split, verbally they could have talk it down already. And we are going to be privilege to witnessed another great fight if this happens this year.
I agree with you. I even think this fight is now almost a deal but just a few things are being properly fixed before the official announcement. In the first place, there's no other boxer that both Terence Crawford and Errol Spence should fight but between the two of them. Even the majority of boxing analysts and known personalities are throwing their respective opinion that the fight should happen no matter what. This is a fight that has no excuses or reason to delay or what. We will surely see this fight happening this year. There's no doubt about that. Maybe they are not planning to hold it close to the date of one of the biggest fights also this year, the trilogy between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin. There's no any near boxers near their league in Welterweight, people and the fans of the respective boxers have anticipated for this and now it's about to happen, just few more weeks and maybe we will see any updates or final announcement about its date and place. I reckon this fight will be the most interesting fight this year, two heavy boxers with clean record will fight to be the undisputed champion. Yes, they are just above any of the Welterweight right now, Spence though has defeated a lot of top tier Welter and we can say that he has almost clean up the division except for one fighter and that is Crawford. And so this is the biggest fight in this division, since the Floyd vs Manny, but the circumstances are different. And perhaps this could be the biggest fight of the year in terms of PPV numbers and the money being generated, maybe close with GGG vs Canelo. |

But we will have to see, the Warriors has gain the momentum already with back to back win and they are a good road team too so I wouldn't be surprised if they win a tough game 6 in the road will balloons going down. I would love that. Yellow balloons flying in the Garden. I want to see how both Marcus Smart and Grant Williams faces and their reactions. They have too much green blood and pride in their veins. Anyways. I expect Stephen Curry to bounce back after that low 16 point performance in game 5. Also Jayson Tatum after recording the highest total turnover is under pressure and he might play very well in game 6. This is just like a toss up game for me with GSW's momentum and the Celtics playing at home. But i'll be taking that +3.5 on GSW. Nope, I won't be talking that +3.5, instead I will go with ML and probably Warriors winning by 6+. Most of the Warriors wins are 10+ points, so there's a chance that they will win and the odds is good for them. I'm still undecided, but if we look at the numbers, both of the teams winning are over 10 points and we haven't seen a game that is close and decided by 1-3 points. But then again, Boston hasn't lost twice in a row, but it that trend was broken last game. So maybe the numbers are going to be stack against and the game might be closer than we think. |

Oh well, what do you expect from a gold bug like Peter Schiff. For sure we know what is his intention for making this statement.
Any how, it's no secret that this is also a strategy for some of us, we sell and then rebuy lower. But the risk is huge as we don't know if the price will continue to go down and not. Maybe you can buy it higher than you sell. So still up to you, continue to hold and buy or make things complicated by selling today and hopefully the price will nosedive and then you rebuy, it's your choice.

HODL good action to be done in times of calamity in crypto industry but not ideal thing to do if your not a whale because you will be trap on situation which you can't afford in the long run, so best action for now is to cut loss and think about hodling when there's an upcoming bull run that might happen in future because on that we are acting smart on our investments.
Then you should only invest what you can afford to lose so that you can HODL just like the whales. Holding has been a proven strategy already, but as I have said, it has some caveat in the end. So others try to accumulate maybe months for ordinary traders, but when the price goes down, they immediately sell, defeating the purpose of holding and definitely losing some money on their end. That's why it's very important to have a good strategy before we become a true holder. |

I agree, he is not a damage good, it's just that we don't see him losing the fight against Bivol. But Bivol is too much for him in a weight that he is not used to.
And remember that Canelo is one of the best and for sure these kind of boxers have the mentality to bounce back again, like Manny Pacquiao. I think there is still fire inside of Canelo to finished this trilogy with GGG and settled the discussion between these 2 legendary boxers. And it's good that Canelo experienced his second lost, so that he will have to improved and not being too much self-satisfying, in my opinion.
Too early to make conclusions. The Canelo vs GGG 3 fight would have happened at least 2-3 years ago, but Canelo was running away scared after his flawed victory during the second fight. He agreed to the fight now, only after knowing that GGG is now 40 years old. But the problem for him is that Golovkin is in excellent form right now (totally destroyed Ryota Murata two months back) and Canelo himself is not in peak form (he lost to Dmitry Bivol last month, and that too at the T-Mobile Arena). And this makes the fight interesting again, because of the lost GGG suffered in the hands of Bivol. Maybe GGG will have a crack at Canelo because of his great performance against Murata and it seems that age is not yet a factor for him? Or will Canelo wanted to show us that he is back again in his winning form and defeat GGG in a telling manner? I also ask myself the same questions, but to tell the truth, I start to think that the matches of these boxers, more than all of Canelo's, having lost against Bivol is something that makes me want to see, the option of a trilogy with Canelo vs. GGG was something that I was excited to see, because it was something that produced a lot of emotion, but the performance of these boxers is not good, perhaps some think like me, they have lost the emotion of seeing GGG fight vsd Canelo, I really like to see when a boxer shows his level and wins, really everything would have been different if Canelo had won. There will still be a lot of emotions in the trilogy. And despite Bivol defeating Alvarez, it will not deter the fans of Canelo to have him fight GGG. We love this two fighters, but after the second fight, it seems that Canelo head and ego grow big as he doesn't want to give GGG his trilogy. But finally, it was set already so again, emotions are going to run high between the two fighters as GGG said that he won both fights and then chase Canelo for many years. |
