Regardless of who will win, the Finals will be exciting. There might just be some speculation that if it's against a sister team, there might be a "bigayan" moment. Even it does, we can expect that to happen in Game 4 or 5. But I know, we will witness a great action between these two teams.

In the meantime, let's speculate after the match between Meralco and Magnolia. It's a do-or-die game and we will now see who will be the winner of the series later tonight.

Still observing what my bet should be. Game-time decision.

A do or die game is anticipated to a good competition, Meralco will try everything that they've got to win and try to go back in the

finals, while with Magnolia, they are the top seeder and for sure they will also do everything to advance and repeat what they've achieved

last season. It's good to discuss the finals once it's already there, right now, lets enjoy the last game of the semis and bet to whoever

we believe deserves the spot.

Meralco have good chance for this since even if they are 4th in standing still they manage to make the life of 1st seeder hard to win on each of there games. We provably see a good match since its do or die for both teams. But I'm going to bet on Hotshots since last game is good momentum bringer and might they will bring the confidence on next game.

What is the sign of bull market start
There is not a set of standard indicators that tell us that we are about to enter a bull market, after all even if you could find a set of indicators that described the start of every single bull run that we have seen you will find that many times those same conditions have presented themselves and yet we did not witnessed a bull market at the time.

So if what you are looking for is for a way to perfectly predict when we are about to enter a bull market then I am sorry to disappoint you as nothing remotely close to it exists at all.

Correct since bull run will just come surprisingly and we can only get those things if market reacts positively to the news it get plus people are keep accumulating since they afraid to miss something huge in future, maybe this is the least hint we can get but finding some indicators or tools to help it identify well I guess many will disappoint as there's no somethings like this exist.

Even if we don't have it still we can still look up some instances and might it give us a little idea about when it comes.

The NFTs that will keep it's value in the long-term will be the ones linked to famous artists ....people like Mike Winklemann (Beeple) and Jose Delbo (Wonder Woman-themed NFTs)
Exactly. NFTs linked to such famous celebrities will always stay relevant in the short-term and the long-term, but they are very few in number obviously.

Majority of them are linked to random individuals from around the world which don't possess any sort of value making them gimmicks. This is why so many people hate them and avoid them like the plague.

This is why investors should avoid to invest on random NFT's since its really hard to determine if we will earn or get rug by them. Many scammers are creating their own arts so we better stay and buy only from those famous people who have positive background.

If Bitcasino will create their own NFT for sure many people will buy it.

One thing that I find interesting is that both sides of the conflict are using bitcoin for their own purposes, the bitcoin community has sent a significant amount of money to support Ukraine during these difficult times, while the Russian government and some of their citizens are thinking about using bitcoin to sidestep the sanctions, this should show us why bitcoin is unstoppable, as no matter what regulations governments try to be impose on bitcoin, it can still be moved freely and that is incredibly useful no matter how we look at it.
This is a good thing, it shows that bitcoin could be used in any way you think would benefit you. Russia using crypto to improve their situation and it end up working is a great proof that crypto is above governments. They could try to block us off from the banks, but they can't block crypto itself because it is decentralized and has always been.

This is why I do not trust stablecoins neither, they are usually tied to a company and those companies could be blocked or banned by governments as well. However, bitcoin itself is decentralized and no matter what governments do, they could only drop the price of it, but can't stop it themselves.

The case of Russia what make bitcoin stand out among other currencies since as we see fiat is controllable by world government or shall we say the country who has high influence in the world. Its good thing that Russia used this and show to all that this is ideal option to became alternative currency to anyone. For this I don't see any bad scenarios that can make bitcoin fall since for now people are been hype on it and might we can see bitcoin to rise again.
2325  Economy / Economics / Re: When Will This War End? on: March 31, 2022, 05:28:54 AM
No one knows, if Ukraine does not become a neutral country then Russia will continue to launch its aggression. You know that Putin is a person who doesn't give up easily, no matter the victims on both sides. As long as Ukraine position on Russia threatens Russia balance with NATO, the war will continue. Btw, I almost left out all the latest information on this, because I was tired of the news, that war is murder by legal means. Terrifying

The negotiations on the 29th showed that Ukraine is ready to become a neutral country, not joining any alliance and not allowing other countries to establish military bases in Ukraine. There have been several ceasefires and the opening of more humanitarian corridors for people to move out of the war zone. But by agreeing to the independence of the two territories of Donetsk and Luhansk from Ukraine, it is almost impossible to compromise and Putin is not one to give up easily. The war is not over yet.

For that action they made and decide to be a neutral country they might change the mind of Putin towards his aggression. We know that this is the root cause of the war and the only thing left for them to retreat or end this war and that is Zelensky will officially declare his defeat to Russia.

@OP almost all quest are been discuss by @hugeblack and this is already good points to be ask on the dev team or to their representative since if they cannot show valid points towards this question and they hide something like the identity of their team also about their work map I believe that is roadmap then this is huge red flag to us.

Scammers are so tricky so beware on promising words and to good to be true ROI promised to their investors.



But the questions are:

 - return on investment?
 - future plans?
 - The developer team?
 - Constant updates?
 - work map?
 - Legal records? licenses?

Three world titles will be on the line in this much-anticipated rematch.

Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire are finally set to meet in a rematch later this year.

Scheduled for June 7th at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, Inoue's WBA and IBF bantamweight titles, and Donaire's WBC belt will be up for grabs in this unification fight.

For seeing this news looks like Inoue's camp give less priority on the fight between their fighter vs Casimero and also those curremt issues what the filipimo fighter get him a less chance for making this fight to happen. But anyways still this is a good match knowing that Donaire is really seekimg for his revenge and want to take the head of the japanese monster.
2328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 30, 2022, 12:27:02 PM
It's difficult to tell if that is a goaltending or not when a shot is that close to the rim. IMO, it's clean as Giannis reacted fast after Embiid jumped. That was actually too fast, it's kind of scary. Instincts.  Grin
But it got me thinking, the ball downward flight is their basis to call it but how about for small guys using underhand layups without using the backboard?
They should make a new rule about it when a player shoots near the basket. Officials have missed a lot of goaltending cases and they won't even check it anymore. This could be a good learning point.
Yes, Giannis athleticism is displayed again, we have seen him blocking shots at crucial time so this is no surprised. Maybe Embiid is really on a hurry to make that shot, so maybe instead of a follow up, he could have dunk it to tie the score.

But it you look closely, it is a clean block (at least that's how I see it). Tough loss of the Sixers at home, and Heat getting the top spot again.

It's a clean block, No doubt on that call by the refs since it was reviewed multiple times. Its only crucial block that’s why many disagree on that call because they are in favor with Sixers. I enjoy watching the game same with Clippers Vs Jazz that both action pack games that end up to come back on the last quarter of the game. I bet +6.5 on Bucks so I was worried during that block because it might result into OT that might be in favor to sixers because Giannis is already exhausted.

It was a good game, both teams are exchanging 3 point shots in the last minutes of the game, the goal tending and then overturned the call, which was big for the 76ers. However, we can already tell that the Bucks are dictating the tempo, they make some good plays and therefore they deserve that win.

Correct, it was a good game, we might say that it is a playoff atmosphere. Sixers took the lead behind but it was not a lead that is safe as the Bucks keeps coming back. And when Giannis found his game, it was a matter of time that he will carry the Bucks on his shoulder again. And not only in offense, but that very important block shot and prevent the Sixers to force the game into overtime.

They are heading unto that so we can expect each team to perform well as they want to bring some good energy on playoffs and continuously winning their remaining game could give them good confidence that they and this is important especially when they faced a much stronger team on their conference. Luckily Bucks didn't let the overtime to happen because it will be a different story if the game goes overtime and Harden or Embiid will get their momentum.
2329  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How has trading been for you during this Ukraine and Russia war on: March 30, 2022, 11:13:13 AM
In the midst of a war of attrition between Russia and Ukraine, I found myself taking a break from trading. However, in this market I was able to earn 2000 from an investment. Cryptocurrencies in Russia and Ukraine have been pro- and anti-cryptocurrency, which has had a profound effect on the cryptocurrency market.
Since the war started, there has been a net increase in bitcoin price, I remember bitcoin was around $38000 when the war started but now at $47500, it even got to $48150 recently. Anyone that hold or buy during this the time make profit already. Even since the invasion, we do not experience anything new yet about bitcoin price the price only show increase during the time and trading going on good. But that does not chant the fact that trading is risky.

Absolutely right. The price of Bitcoin has increased from 38K to above 47K since war started and trading volumes are increasing on all major exchanges including Binance, I think economic sanctions on Russia are playing an important role behind price hike of Bitcoin. The other possible reason could be Saudi Arabia and UAE decision to trade crude oil in Chinese Yuan which is very negative for US Dollar index. A weaker dollar is always good for Stocks and Bitcoin.

Early days of the war is a huge mess for bitcoin because it ignite the fear of the people and afraid to hold their balances since many fud then tell about dump is coming. But now all change when government of Russia announce that they use bitcoin for their transaction especially when doing transaction with oil in their country. Also good thing that we see that thing happening because right now bitcoin is going strong and we might see some good pumps that will happen in next following months.
2330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mt. Gox may return Bitcoin worth over $6 billion on: March 29, 2022, 02:08:31 PM
From a scam exchange to a collection of NFT from them. Do you put your capital into their hands again? I don't say bad people or bad team can not change to good one but if it is me, I don't put my capital at risk like that.

If they do their return distribution, it might create another FUD wave that will affect the market. People might worry about selling pressure from people who get their Bitcoin after years. Obviously years ago, they bought Bitcoin at much lower price than now. In my opinion, it won't bring much selling pressure because not all of them will sell on the market in a single day.  In addition, total trading volume last 24 hour of Bitcoin is $36 billion according to Coinmarketcap

Crazy for trusting back again since how could we trust them if their issue is so huge way back before and yet we don't know if that is legit and not a scammers who use their name just to make their scheme viral easily. Anyways  lets be more careful or vigilant since its really hard to get back our money if this is handed already to scammers.

If there is a large enough balance in the account, the possibility of addiction will definitely continue to play slots because if it is not controlled it will consume your balance, so for me it is enough to deposit enough when playing slots if it is excessive or save it for other bets I think it will be difficult Stop the slot if the curiosity persists want a high multiplier.

When I've played slots and lost, log out of the account and close the browser, Grin
It's the only thing not to come back at that time, and I'll be back tomorrow or a few days later. Cheesy
That is why we really need to always limit ourselves in using or depositing money into our gambling accounts so that we are not addicted to playing slots. Maybe we can deposit $10-$20 for one play. But for me, maybe from that $20, I only use $5 or less to play slots because my reason to play slots is just to fill my spare time, which is only for a short time. That way, I can overcome and stay away from gambling addiction and enjoy playing slots.

Yes, coming back for the next day or a few days later is highly recommended to stay away from addiction and it can help us prevent addiction.
I would say set-up proper budget plan for yourself like say a month and never put extra money to them because it means you have lost your budgeted amounts and now you are going above the limits which can take you to become addicted towards it.So avoid this practice as much you can.Cash out the winnings and play with planned amount which is my way of playing but you all have to decide for yourself.

If they cannot really afford to play gambling like their money is intended only for their personal needs then they shouldn't gamble since it will be more risky for them to do so and engage with it. But if you have extra and can able to lose it for the sake of fun then its their personal decision if they play and have fun with the money they have.
2332  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How secured is fingerprint lock on wallet? on: March 29, 2022, 10:36:49 AM
If I use a fingerprint lock on my crypto wallet will this add more security to my wallet and recovery seed or just security over avoiding someone to see my wallet balance via operating my phone?

The risk is when your hands is severely injured and you cannot do finger print unlocking but if you are confident that there's nothing will happen to you, also you can spend less time to do unlocking just for the sake of security then do it if you can feel more secure for doing tha. But for me I will just make sure my phone is well secured and away from burglars or other things that can harm it since I find those thing hassle especially when keeping up opening my phone from time to time.

2334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender bias in gambling. on: March 27, 2022, 02:18:51 PM
There seems to be a bias in the opinions of people regarding gender and gambling. Most persons in my locale consider gambling as something more appropriate for males than females, who made that a law?

-In my locale, a man who is considered a compulsive gambler may be overlooked if he is doing well regardless, but a for a woman, regardless of her financial state, will be perceived and considered highly irresponsible if she is found in a betting or gambling place.

-A man who is known to be a gambler may still be considered for marriage by a woman, but if a woman is known to be compulsive gambler before marriage, most men will run from them or not even get close enough to consider them for marriage.

Why the bias? should gambling be only for Men?

This depend on the culture of your country since there are certain races point that girls who are participating on gambling activities are immoral. But since we are now living on modern age for sure we will see equality towards this discussions as I already see some girls or member of 3rd sex keeps participating and competing with straight guys on gambling platforms.

I would like to have at least 1 good NFT may I ask where I can find the rules and terms on how to win NFT by playing the Paradise Trippies slot game? I hope it wouldn't cost me a lot of money playing slot game just to win this NFT  Grin

I am not a big fan of slot games. I am not going to give it a try. Sometimes slot games suck if you don't have a big bankroll. There is no guarantee that if you play the Paradise Trippies slot game, You will win the NFT. I believe this is the golden chance for slot lovers. If you are a slot lover too, Just give it a try. Who knows? You may win an NFT or two. Good luck BTW.
Indeed and its not healthy to play with an expectation to hit a jackpot because if you're not able to get what you want, its depressing especially if you're counting how much you lost. But it depends if you have control and aware of the risk of playing slots. Anyway we cant say how lucky we are unless we try, but its best to just enjoy the game and be prepared for the outcome.
Playing any gambling game will depend on how much control you have in limiting how long you play and how much money you use to gamble. If you can do it, I'm sure you'll have no problem quitting and even if you haven't hit the jackpot yet, that's not a problem for you because you can try again in the next days. But what you have to remember is that slot games can make you lose track of time and money, making you fall for the Roll button. I've played Paradise Trippies but I didn't have any luck so I lost, but it's not a lot and I can still take it.

You can do it if you are a consistent gambler because you will know what are things needed to be taken care of upon playing your favorite games, but if you are here just to have fun then this is one of perfect place to gamble since bitcasino is consistent upon providing cool promotion to their bettors. For now I'm on playing Mystery museum and Paradies trippies in fun mode only just trying this new game for free to practice or enjoy this before betting using real money.

Is this section the right place for a newcomer to ask questions because I don't know, but it says beginners and help, hope I'm right?

Is there anyway to increase my IQ about which crypto project to invest money on?
I make 400$ every month and I can save up to 300$ per month what exact amount is good for crypto project investment?

Can I ask a question about a crypto project on here? For example DASH?

Do you think that crypto will survive 5 years to come?

There is a lot of questions on my mind but I want to take a step at a time, so guide me and correct me in any way possible.

You are in the right place actually since there are so many discussions towards everything about crypto here also you would provably find some ideas which can help you about your investments the only thing you need to do is to research about past and new discussions since many ideas can you get there from the discussions made by forum users.

Also if you look for sure profit well we cannot assure that since no one can predict accurately so just rely on your research on this since sometimes other suggestion might not good to you.

If you also ask about if crypto would last for 5 years then my answer is this will provably stay for more than that as crypto is now made as alternative to fiat so most provably more adoption will come unto it.
2338  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Top 9 Trusted bounty campaign manager. on: March 26, 2022, 10:48:53 PM
Julerz12 - I think in his campaigns, hunters have the highest percentage to get rewarded. However, it does not mean his campaigns will make you rich or you will earn "big money", a lot.
Does bounty hunting make people rich? I don’t have an idea. I guess I have seen some people have abused the bounty & made some good amount of money. Otherwise, isn't the reward too low?

Personally, I like Yahoo & Hhampuz for their professionalism. I have seen them to manage a lot of campaigns & have never seen any issue either.

Way back before 2017 there are many campaigns give good profits to their participants and if you participate on various campaign you could provably earn a lot of money at that time, but for now I doubt it since campaign are not paying good so I guess making rich discussion upon joining those is not really possible at the moment.

I also like Hhampuz and yahoo since their experience to handle campaigns is what aspirant managers to look at and many people admire them for getting a lot of campaigns and the way they handle it.

Although Jake Paul might be a good fighter I don't think he stands a chance against Conor McGregor.
Apart from that what is the point of this fight anyway ? Exhibition fights are losing interest from real sport supporters.
It has become more like an entertainment these days. I don't think this fight will happen anyway.

Money that is the main point of this fight since imagine the huge earning they can accumulate for just a single fight  and for sure Mcgregor will pick it up since he will surely not miss the chance to get that multi millions of dollars for just beating up Paul, he is not getting younger anymore and most provably this fight will happen knowing both of them are influential and they can sell this match to their fans as many of them love the see the result even if this is obvious exhibition match which we cannot see any exciting stuff on tha match.

There is a golden rule: when luck knocks on your door and you manage to buy only a few tickets and you win a lot of money with them, then take the prize and don't play again, because you don't have luck like that twice. unfortunately what has been seen is that most people who manage to buy a few tickets both in the real world and online lottery and win a big prize that gives them a lot of money they don't take long to play again and lose everything or else they don't manage their money properly and spend it unnecessarily. i hope the winners have successes
Depends on the reason why people gamble. If you are only gambling for money then you could end up with gambling for a little amount, end up winning big thanks to situations like this then you could end up keep gambling that small amount small by small and get better. I am not talking about people who would love to have the money instead, those people should withdraw the money and be gone on their merry way. Kudos to them and I wish they are happy with their life.

However, I am not like that, I wager a lot and if I somehow win a lot, I would just keep on gambling small amount, if I won a lot that means I could gamble for years without depositing ever again. At worst, I would just withdraw to some other casino.
most people play for money, i had a time i also played for money, i won and stopped for a while and then went back to playing just for fun, the small amounts of money i play is something i don't expect to get back, i give like lost money
Limitations on how much you will gamble is the way to go. It is clear to me that anyone who would like to start gambling, should put a limit to how much they could lose. After that, just stop and give a break. I personally put myself a limit years ago, and I do lose that amount but then I take a break and only come back after a long period so that I would not chase my losses.

It does help me not to lose too much money and I get to still gamble a lot. Doesn't mean that I will be losing nothing, or doesn't mean I will be profiting a lot, just means that I will be losing as much as I allow myself to lose and that is a good method for me.

Some have initial plan on how much they can afford to gamble but when in middle of game and you enjoy so much you provably spend more what you can afford to lose and that is what majority of newbie experience. I also experience this before and from those I learn to control myself then put some limits on the amount used also have time limit upon playing.
