Whenever I'm betting, this is the first thing that I always see. Injury reports because it's a big factor to the chances of a team to win. Home-Road record is also the one that I'm using, but both of them aren't a crystal ball that will tell you who will win based on the 2 factors. It's just my basis and it increases my chances of winning.

The Jazz are starting to regain their momentum now after they lost 5 straight and now on a 2-game winning streak. As for the Blazers, they are undermanned, but they are also on a 3-game losing streak and it might continue against the Jazz.

Winning 7 of their last 10 games, the Lakers are in now looking good after a rough start though they are still 3 games below 500, but just looking on how they played in their last games, it seems that they are gaining a bit of a momentum as well.

Seeing Davis putting numbers like these is always good. The Big 3 of the Lakers are doing pretty well on their last games. Davis starting to put big numbers, Lebron also doing what he does best as well, scoring and passing as well and Wesbrook is starting to embrace his role as a 6th man but on the same time, he is very efficient though we might see him having bad nights, but it's normal for a player to have bad nights. Overall, the Lakers are starting to gain momentum. They are currently at the 12th spot but only 2 games behind the 8th seeded Warriors.

Where can I buy crystal ball? A crystal ball where it can show an accurate scenario of what will happen into the crypto market? Can anybody sell it to me.

Bitcoin bottom prediction? Maybe the bottom that we saw when FTX did the biggest ponzi scheme in the whole crypto might be the bottom and we might see Bitcoin go up starting from now. Papa Powell decreased the increase of federal funds rate from 75 basis points to now 50 basis points and that might be a good sign. $12,000 is still possible knowing that we are still in a bear market but highly unlikely for me. DCA is still the best thing to do, and it's proven already that it can give you profit in the long term.

Well, this is what I'm saying back then that their performance in their first few games isn't sustainable, and things might change in a snap. Now it happened to the Jazz. After having a good start, they are now struggling, and a losing streak might just put you from the top spot all the way to the bottom 8.

There was a time in the Western Conference where the 10th seed are only 2 games behind the top spot. Now it's 4.5 games, but still, we are in the early stages of the season, and anything can happen still. I expect some trades that will happen maybe when the all-star comes near. Jazz is now on the 7th seed and a bit of adjustment might change their win-lose streak.

Rigged!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding

It's a no bearing game for both teams since SMB already secured the 5th spot and the Bolts is already eliminated. With regards to Romeo, like I said, I didn't expect too much from him since he just came back after an injury that caused him not to play for months. 5/14 is very poor indeed but scoring 12 points in his comeback is already a good one.

For the final match-up for the 8th spot, it will be the Rain or Shine Vs. the NLEX. Will we see an MVP team in the playoffs this conference or they all MVP teams will be totally eliminated. Nevertheless, whoever wins between the two, they can't beat Bay Area Dragons.

Successful for a moment, but it will be going down soon.
I still remember when Binance also launched Mobile Legend NFT's where they launched an NFT sale of Mobile Legend heroes. In just a few seconds, it was sold out because of how popular the game is and lucky for me, I got one. The problem is I can't sell it at a much higher price because nobody wants to buy it.

I'm not saying that it will also happen to CR7 NFT's, but if there isn't any use case to that NFT at all, it's value will be going down like what happened to Bored Ape or any other NFT's out there. Fame? Popularity? It doesn't matter because if there are nobody who wants to buy the NFT then it will be useless. On the other hand though, knowing that CR7 is very popular, there might be some fans of him that might buy the NFT's and keep them for good or they might re-sell it we don't know.

Maybe there is a chemistry built between Romeo and Gallent whenever they are practicing. I don't know as well what Coach Leo means with that phrase "destroy the momentum between the two". Well either way, they already got a spot in the playoffs so putting his deputy coach on the driver seat and giving him an opportunity is also good for the team.

With regards to Romeo playing against Meralco, they already secured the 5th spot and will face Meralco regardless of what happen, so I think putting Romeo to the court to play for a few minutes doesn't hurt the team as a whole. They will just let him play a few minutes in preparation for him during the playoffs. Fajardo and Romeo's situation are completely different. I don't know if SMB has the weapons to beat Converge TBH because they are a strong team as well, but let's see how they will play.

20% of the small businesses fail in the first year and in the 5th year, 50% of the businesses fail and in the 10th year, 65% of the businesses fail. LINK

I'm not into business and I know myself that I'm not succeeding into business, and I know that there are some people who already know which works for them and which aren't and for me, business isn't for me. If you really want to start your business, capital isn't enough, but know if you really are capable in building one because there are many factors that might affect your business. Location, competition, how you market/advertise your products, services etc.

As for me who isn't into business, being a freelancer and investing a portion of my monthly income into cryptocurrencies is better, but both of them have pros and cons. If you already build a successful business, you can just continue being a freelancer while doing your business if you can do both. Getting rich in being a freelancer and investing takes longer time than being into business.

Overall, it's up to you. You can try and build a business if you want to try but be sure that you are ready for the worst. You can still invest into cryptocurrencies while building for business so why not try both?

Like a Domino effect?
BNB might crash but Ethereum will not.

The whole crypto market is on a bear market and yes, anything might happen, but I don't think that Bitcoin and Ethereum will crash like what happened to FTX and Terra Luna because both of the projects are failed ones and the ones behind it are scammers and any projects that has scammers behind it will absolutely fail because they will scam investors.

$36K? You might be dreaming while posting this one isn't you OP? Your first post is a thread like this though I agree with you that December has always been good for crypto and right now, Bitcoin is at the $17,000 price. Overall, the sentiment of the investors is negative, and they are in an extreme fear right now to invest. You might be thinking of the "Christmas Effect", but with what's happening globally, I doubt that it will have a huge effect towards the price of Bitcoin. Maybe we might see Bitcoin at $20,000 at the highest.

Like other players who just came back after an injury, I expect nothing from him.

I'm not expecting him to score 20 points or more on his comeback. He will be given less minutes like what they did to Fajardo after his injury. Take note that Romeo didn't play for a very long time so let's not expect too much on his return. TBH, I'm leaning towards the negative one. He didn't play for quite some time, and it might affect the chemistry, but overall, it's good to see him coming back after the injury. Not expecting too much from him on his comeback and he might get 10 points at most.

He's a career 37.1% from 3PT line and in the current era where more people are shooting threes, that's a high percentage IMO.
Too bad that he doesn't been given enough minutes. He is only given 10.8 minutes per game on average and that's too low.

I thought that his buzzer beater three against the Pelicans will be his breakthrough and he will be given more minutes, but I guess I'm wrong. I just hope that another team will give him maybe a short-term contract just to try. He's a decent to good three-point shooter so teams who's focusing on threes more might get him... or not. For the Lakers, I just hope that they will get better player to replace him, or they will receive more criticisms aside from the ones that are facing right now.

Seeing at the picture, he seems like a 12-13 young kiddo that doesn't have any interest into investing at all. Well, it's my own opinion and I might be wrong, and he might be the opposite of what I saw and if that's the case then good for him and for you as his teacher.

There's nothing wrong in teaching other people Bitcoin, but at least we need to have considerations like the age of the person, his desire in learning it etc. The current education system really sucks TBH. Not in all countries of course but what makes it sucks is that they aren't teaching anything about money like what Robert Kiyosaki always says. I'm not saying that I will not put my future children at school because it's really needed, but I will teach him anything about money and I will teach him how to save and invest at an early age.

Connections, pushing for regulations, his parents.
These 3 are the reasons why he has little to no chance in getting to jail.

I know that many investors lost their money in investing into FTX, and I didn't lose a single penny on it (though I thought of buying it a few months ago) but there's nothing that investors can do about especially we know for a fact that he has many connections like Gary Gensler. There is a chance that he and his buddies that has a relationship with will not get jailed for what they've done to investors.

Damage has been done and investors already lose their money so putting him into jail will not change anything. The best thing that investors can do is to just avoid any ventures or projects that has a link or connection to SBF. Good still if he will get jailed, but him seeing roaming freely in the Bahamas isn't a good sign already.

With that win, Ginebra has a shot to get that twice to beat advantage, but their fate is on the hands of Rain or Shine if they will defeat Magnolia on the 2nd of December. Rain or Shine's game against the Magnolia is also important for ROS because if they will lose, they will be eliminated on the 8th spot and the NLEX will get it because NLEX defeated ROS in the elimination. A must win for the ROS in order to get the spot.

On the other hand, Converge will get the 4th spot and will face the San Miguel Beermen on a best of 3 series. I'm not surprised that this will end like this though I expect a more close match but nevertheless, congratulations to the Ginebra for getting their win. Now they will just wait on the ROS-Magnolia match-up.

Yes. We've seen many businessmen still thriving despite the fact that all of us have been struck by the effects of the pandemic.
I mean the rich can get richer by just taking advantage of the situation. Businessmen already knew what to do when a recession comes.

Now with regards to not go broke, I can already feel the spike of the prices of the commodities. Our country isn't on a recession (far from it TBH), but what I'm feeling is the spike of the prices that makes me always think twice of the things that I'm buying. I'm not broke as of this moment because I'm not into a point where I need to beg for money, having a hard time financially, or borrow to my relatives just to have money to be used to pay bills etc.

Getting rich during a recession is only for the already rich businessmen because they can take advantage of the situation however, if you are just an average person then at least your main goal is to just not go broke, or you will suffer, and I believe many people aren't broke and still surviving right now.

Tumaas na ang price ng mga minero ngayon. Noong mga nakaraang araw, ang level 90 na minero ay nasa around 1k PHP lang pero ngayong araw lang, nag-x2.5 na ito at ang presyo na nito ngayon ay nasa around 2500 na ung pinakamura. Kakakuha ko lang kanina ung pambili ko ng minero kaso mejo nalate na dahil tumaas na ang presyo.

Regarding naman sa Anti-demon Chamber, pumunta ako dun kanina sa 6f kasi dun lang ang kaya ko sa current PS ko. Sobrang taas ng EXP (around 1.5-2X na mas mataas sa Exp chamber 6-3) pero yung mga mobs dun ay masasakit at tungkol naman sa drops, walang drops masiado or wala talaga di ko napansin. Kung EXP ang habol mo maganda dun basta wag lang masiadong mataas na floor para maging efficient. Sa Magic Square 6F-8F lang pala ung anti-demon chamber.

As I read the subject title, the first thing that came to my mind is the cash flow quadrant made by Robert Kiyosaki.
Employees and self-employed are the ones who are paying the most taxes and he hate taxes.
On the other half, there is business and investing. He invests but into stocks or bonds or ETFs blah blah. He's into gold, silver and other precious metals. He's more into business because he pays 0 taxes on it.

I want to be involved into business, but aside from the fact that I don't have any capital to start with, I don't have the passion to do it, so I don't want to pursue it. I'll just want to be a part-owner of a business company by buying their shares . I tried to be an employee, but because of the work being monotonous, it's kinda boring to me to the point that I didn't last a year being an employee and I choose to be a self-employed one (freelancer) and I invest a portion of my income into some assets like crypto or stocks.

TBH, I don't see myself into being either an employee or a business owner in the future but if I will choose, I'd just choose to be an employee and at the same time, an investor.

There are some criminals who are still at large right now. Do you think that putting us Bitcoin holders into prison will be the solution against Bitcoin? Nahhh I don't think so and just think, how will the authorities know who the current Bitcoin holders are? What will be the case that will be given to them? It will take time and I don't think the authorities will do such things like this.

---

Overall, there might be some governments that are anti-Bitcoin but, in the end, they can't do anything to stop those people to get involved into cryptocurrency. There is famous quote that says, "If you can't beat them, join them". Government will waste tons of money by fighting against Bitcoin and in the end, they will not accomplish anything that's for sure. Regulations might help but regulations are being made to protect the countrymen and not to stop them from using it.

Government can't stop a thing that they didn't create at first so maybe forget that scenario already that the government will fight against Bitcoin because just by looking at what's happening with Bitcoin, it looks like there are no ways for people to stop them from buying it.

Yeah, that would be better. I'm done with the SMC vs. MVP Finals match-up every conference. It's time for the independent teams to step up at least and compete with these 2 big companies.

Well, sh*t happens. Seeing SMC and MVP always fighting for the title for years is very boring. Take note that the league has been bashed because of these unbalanced trades coming from both companies especially for SMC and to see independent teams going to the playoffs is better, I guess because independents teams are given a chance to compete for the title.

Bay Area Vs. an independent team? I don't expect it though I will not be surprised. Bay Area Vs. Ginebra will be the best match-up for the PBA Finals because Ginebra fans will surely watch them play live and it's a win-win for both the league and the fans. More revenue and more excitement.

Dumami alt dahil sa nangyaring bagsak ng wemix. Maraming bumili ng alts, mas maraming alts, mas maraming supply ng DS at kapag mas maraming supply at same lang ang demand, alam na natin ang mangyayari . Yun ang dahilan na alam ko bakit bagsak ang 1M DS ngayon.

Nasa 182 kami currently at may kalaban kaming mga Devils (though tumalon na ung iba bago pa lang ang Castle Siege). Mejo competitive ung server kasi may mga kalaban pero pumapatak lang sa 110-120 gold per 1M DS dun (average) samantalang sa isang peaceful server gaya sa 73 (old server ko) ay same lang dn ang price ng DS. Tanda ko pa ung time na bumulusok ang price ng DS sa around 160G sa server namin noon dahil sa Mystiques.

Ginebra Vs. Converge on the 30th. Both teams' last games and it will be the most important game for them.

TBH, I don't want to face 2 sister teams in the first round so I would want to see Ginebra win the game and face NorthPort on the first round. Well like you said, if out of nowhere, Magnolia lost to ROS and Ginebra will win then they will get the 2nd spot and it's much easier...or is it because Ginebra lost to Phoenix in eliminations. I don't know if it's only me that I'm feeling it, but I want to see Ginebra Vs. Bay Area in the PBA Finals and in order for that to happen, Ginebra must take the 2nd or 3rd spot but better if 2nd to have that twice to beat advantage.

On the other hand, I'm a bit curious on how MVP is feeling right now that MVP teams didn't enter the playoffs especially the TNT who we know is always dominating in every conference and has all the pieces to win a title. It's the first time for Coach Chot that he didn't enter the playoffs. It's the first time for the company that all 3 teams didn't enter the playoffs. An achievement. :X
