It seems that nadal and djokovic are both in a high level and i don't think anyone can stop them even alcaraz if they managed to get through their opponents on the 1/8 finals which i think they would they will face each other and in my opinion it will be a war and it will be the closest game in Roland Garos between them.
Yeah, but it will be good if Alcaraz will have to face either one of them in the quarter-finals because that will be a great match. Norrie is out though, losing in 4 sets against Khachanov. No problem with the 3 in today's matches, they've won in straight sets. While in the women's side, upsets continue as there are a lot of seeded ladies that have been eliminated.

hah (take a deep breath) ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Have you just woken up and haven't had time to see the current market conditions? or the news you got has expired. We are now at the end of May and Bitcoin is trading under $30K. If you look at the bloody market today and the altcoins are much more worrying. I hope you have backed it up to a stable coin. He probably living under the rock, ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) and just waken up. But seriously, we are already in a bear market, so the bulls are nowhere to be found. Prices took a dive again, below $29k in the last 4 hours, and so the selling pressures is still there. Just take note though that the whole financial market is down, meaning investors and speculators have withdrawn money and it's a sign that something big might going to happen and this bloodbath will continue.

What’s interesting is that there are companies working to bridge the gap between the physical and the digital. I think what Uniswap did was genius. And really, this is only the beginning.
I think with the advent or crypto and blockchain, every industry innovators are trying to bridge the gap already and we have witnessed int's boom in late 2017-2018. However, not sure how many of those projects succeeded though. Because it seems everyone is just copying once idea and claim to be the next tools to help companies, for example selling merchandizes. What do you think? Would you buy a $160k pair of socks? ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Nah, I will rather bought other things with that huge amount of money unless you are a crypto millionaire.

Despite the worse bear market that we are in right now, I'm still confident that we won't have to wait for up to four years to reach a new ATH. Bitcoin has proven a number of times that it can surprise everybody and that it can deliver what others may think is impossible.
I don't think that we have seen the worst of the bear market yet, if we follow this 4 year cycle, then we still have 2 years (2022-2024) of downturn. It was around this current price that Bitcoin had in January of last year. In November of the same year, the $69,000 ATH was reached. So it is very possible also that from this day, it would take less than a year before another ATH will be reached.
Again, ATH can be reached after the process of block halving, and if I'm not mistaken, it will be in 2024.so it's going to be more than 2 years before we can see that supposedly 6 digit price prediction.

No bets yet guys? Okay, I'll start it. This may end the Western Conference Finals and the Warriors may celebrate tonight on their homecourt. Balloons and confetti may also be ready to drop from the roof. I am with the Warriors to end this -7.5. I just wish they could cover that amount of spread. Also taking the bet for Over 213.5. Good luck to everyone.
Yes, I will tail you in this one, the Warriors are going to win and celebrate it at their homecourt. It will be a bitter sweet for them because it take years for their core to comeback from all those injuries and be in the finals again. I will just go with the -7.5 handicap. I think they can cover that one up and could win in double digits.

How many projects will rug pull in 2022? There are many projects that will face the same fate as Luna project but I believe we are able to raise voice on Luna CEO because he is popular and well known, what about projects with invincible CEO? There are tons of Defi and metaverse projects with invincible team, I think their case will be much worse than what we've seen.
We really can't tell, and since we are in a bear market, maybe there will be projects who thinks that they can't make money out of this cycle so much better if they will rug pull and disappear with investors money. And probably this is will continue, as Luna has set a precedence, and this whole Defi thingy will most likely be the next one to rug pull. So the lesson is just to be very careful right now of our hard earn money specially investing in new projects.

Yeah, Alcaraz was really living dangerously for quite some time. Still - he managed to win and will be equally dangerous going forward. He has Korda next, then probably Corrie.
I was surprised to see Alcaraz struggle. Compare this with how Nadal, Djokovic and Medvedev are breezing through their matches without being even slightly troubled. If Alcaraz has Korda next, then that could be a really tough match against another rising star. I wouldn't be too surprised after the last match if Alcaraz gets knocked out earlier than we were all expecting. Hopefully as he is still very young, his body can recover very fast after a hard fought 5 set match last night. So I think Alcaraz will still go and get past Korda here, but he doesn't want to have the same performance as the last time. If he can finished it in 3 set then good. Odds ML, Alcaraz is 1.13 sa favorite. In the women's side, there's a lot of upsets already.

How about Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics later. This series is kinda unpredictable and I could not tell if the Heat do have the upper hand at their home. Boston stole one from them and it could happen again. I may just watch the game and forget about betting.
It's pretty hard to predict who will win Game 5, even though the bookmakers think the Celtics are the favorites tonight. In addition, there is already an injury update, and the Celtics said that Smart and Williams will play, while the Heat said that Herro is out tonight. However, I think the Heat will have a chance to beat the Celtics if they can defend as they did in Game 3. I think the bookies is right this time, game 5 was won by the Celtics. Both Robert Williams and Marcus Smart played although limited minutes, but they have contributed big with their defense. Unfortunately the Heat, don't have the players to score in this game, Bam did his share, but maybe Butler is still nursing that injury and not 100%. Butler has been clearly bothered by his injury, he was all buckets all series from this playoffs then suddenly became a hot trash from the last 2 games after his injury. He went 7/37 fg from game 4 and 5. Kyle Lowry was a hot trash too. With them being inconsistent, we really can't expect them to win against the Celtics who's been playing great with all their heart to reach the Finals. Celtics are on a mission this playoffs, If the Heat won't find a way to fix their system offensively, game 6 might be their last game for the playoffs. I'm a fan of Heat, but I would agree that both Butler and Lowry performed very poorly (because of the injuries), and that's why they are now behind the series and they give Boston a lot of chance to steal this series and go to the finals. I'm conceding that with the way they show in their homecourt and lost this big, it might be over for them mentally.

Sticking to signature campaign wouldn't do much tbh these days, they need more marketing campaigns beside that, even just doing giveaways, contests, bonuses every month or two will do as long as you're connected to the community.
Signature campaigns are part of the casino target marketing but of course they have lists for targeted marketing, so the wider the marketing the more new interactions of users interested in casino offers. Everybody starts with signature campaigns before they blossom into a big casino. This is a niche market and there's no other forum around that has garnered the most crypto users in one space. In my opinion, if casino's doesn't promote or stop their signature campaigns here, there could be sometime that they might lose their audience to a newer platforms. So it's very important to keep their signature campaigns here, regardless if they are old in crypto online games and casinos.

So, next time when you see those financial advisors on TV bad mouthing Bitcoin, think of the things I mentioned above.
I do not think members of the forum would be much bothered about such talk shows or rants, neither are they the target audience. Such naysayers usually target individuals who are not savvy on Bitcoin and who have become so into the traditional system and playing it extremely safe (even though that poses risks). And I'm not too bothered about such talks; I have a weird opinion that it might actually be good for those who listen to it; If one would blindly believe a TV guest without doing their own research then maybe they should not be into Bitcoin at all, as they would sell out at the slightest bear threat and blame whoever may have introduced them to it for their ruin. Maybe there could be some, specially newbies in crypto market. Bitcoin is now being covered by traditional social media like CNBC, and so if those beginners see that the host or the guest are attacking bitcoin, they might experienced some qualms about their investment. Nevertheless, they will have to experience this negative sentiments and learn how to channel it in a positive way by just laughing at in and then buying some during dips.

I will also go with the Dallas this game, I think the Warriors might relax in this game and might want to finish Dallas in their home court game 5.
Same here, I expect Dallas to come out swinging and dish out their all here since it'll be a huge question mark to the team if they don't get at least one win while the other teams (Nuggets and Grizzlies) got at least one home win. I also want to include the under as I think the pace will continue to slow down similar to the last game but i'm more confident on Dallas to win. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F3JlO1Xx.png&t=665&c=MNYirheCcp_3OQ) Congrats as well mate, Dallas came through in the clutch, although I will say it give us some panic when they are about chipping that huge lead at the end of the 3rd and and in the final quarter. As for the next game, Heat and Celtics, I will go with the Celtics here, -2.5 and maybe throw some on the under 203.5. I think Boston has the momentum after that big win and Jimmy Butler might now be 100% in this game.

Congratulations @YuginKadoya. You got the right pick, everything was easy on the game if you are betting on the Celtics to win, they have dominated the game and they covered the spread easily. Looks like Butler and Bam do not want to play, they struggle big time as they didn't score based on their usual numbers.
In this game, the two superstars only scored.
Butler - 6 points Bam - 9 points.
Both Butler and Adebayo was given almost the same time but they haven't got any good figures for the teams favor, it is quite clear that the Boston Celtics will own the game because Tyler Herro wasn't there and Butler was still injured but still played even if he knows he cannot do so much to the team. While on the Celtics side, I think the important player who was sidelined was just Marcus Smart and it's still unknown if he will be present on the next game at Miami. And you can sense that there is something between Herro and Lowry and when Lowry went to the beat, he high 5 everyone but Herro doesn't want to extend his hands. But it's understandable, not the first time that the team goes into this kind of trouble. I will also go with the Dallas this game, I think the Warriors might relax in this game and might want to finish Dallas in their home court game 5.

Of course when bitcoin is down and very cheap it's always a good time to buy especially in this kind of situation - bear market.
But you need to hold it and then wait for the next eventual bull run, otherwise if you sell it early, you may not maximized your profits. So it's a question if you are willing to hold for years or do you have that kind of mentally? And there are also this kind of strategy, DCA which can help early and newbie investors.

KO result is the only way to ensure that the fight is fair, when it comes to the judges, not everyone will approve of their decision because we are also biased as a fan. I don't know if we can expect an honest judging in this fight if it goes to the scorecards because we know that Pacman was once cheated in this country.
Of course, Haney will be trying to win by knock out but that's hard to get since Kambosos always train hard and is always at the peak at the time of the fight, if the fight is too close, the hometown decision will play a big factor on the judges' decision, Haney should chase Kambosos and be more aggressive to impress the judges' of course he needs to score a lot and should hurt Kambosos if he wants to win the fight, Australian will be hostile because four titles is at stakes here and Kambosos is their boxing hero now. It's not that he trains hard, it's either you have the chin or not, or if your opponent has the power. And in this case, Haney doesn't have that power so I doubt that he will win by a knock out. On the other hard, Kambosos as he shows against Lopez, has good power in both hands, so it will be Haney who will used his boxing skills to avoid that shot. Maybe the judges this time will be fair for the American if he really boxes well against George and can win by decision.

I am looking forward to a 2-2 standing after this fourth game. I'm sure the Celtics will get back on Miami. This early, Jason Tatum is already feeling hot and pumped up and will definitely add a lot more of scoring power to the Celtics. With 20 points just in the second quarter and the team leading so far by 25 points, this is going to be an exciting eastern conference finals. They only need to maintain a comfortable lead and continue to deny Miami of offensive rebounds.
Yes, it's a different Jayson Tatum we are witnessing this game, although he is nursing that shoulder, he still play and provided good offense to the team right now. So it's going to be a very difficult task for the Heat to even make the score close or cut the lead to manageable less than double digit because of the way the Celtics are shooting in this game. Heat has to come back from a heavy deficit in order to win the game, and I don't think they'll be able to do it because they are in the same situation in game 2 and they were not able to come back, how much more now that they are on the road. Williams III is also back in the lineup, and he is doing a great job so far as he was able to limit Adebayo with 3 points only which was the Heat's top score in game 3. This series is getting exciting, I'd like to count this already for the Celtics and will be a tied series going back to Miami. Great job to the Celtics for maintaining the lead to a comfortable degree. That double digit lead was well kept all throughout the game. And while the Heat got better three-pointers, Boston had the great free throw points in addition to their better field goals. Props to Tatum's 31 points for this win. Of course Horford's successful rebounds and blocks and the overall defense of the Celtics also played a big role in this victory. Maintaining the lead is one way to put it… They destroyed them the entire game. The Heat bench looked defeated in the first quarter. The Celtics won by 20 and that makes the game seem closer than it was. The Heat need to pretend this one never happened. I feel pretty good about calling the Celtics vs Warriors Finals matchup now after seeing a few games in this series. Boston is just playing great. It's just a horrible game from Butler and Lowry in game 4, and yeah, it's inevitable, not matter how hard they do shooting the basket in the first quarter, it's not falling while the Celtics has found the ring too big. They have to bounce back in game 5 and I think they can still salvage this series and move to the NBA finals against the Warriors.

Interested to Showtime's All-Access? Watch below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnk1EqnzIwcThey are good at hyping this fight though, but let's see what Rolly is made off. As Davis said, if you're hardcore then be hardcore. This will be a big test how Rolly is, maybe he is just pure hype or maybe he is for real. This fight is the biggest test for each other, this is Rolly's chance to catapult himself to another height and greatness, and this Tank's addition to his resume that he is the bully of the bully, it's good to have a video hype like this and it will make the boxing community excited to see the fight, the community wants things personal because if it's personal you're going to see a lot of action and disrespecting inside the ring, hopefully, they give us something we are expecting a lot of action because for now we can only see and hear a lot of trash talks. I think it's more on the side of Rolly rather than Tank, of course, Davis doesn't want to lose the fight, but he has a good chance to win. So Rolly will be pressure, and if he is the guy that he is portraying then he will catapult himself if he win against Tank in this fight. Might be personal and disrespecting, and usually this translate into a good early rounds and we will see who can back that shit talk.

Yeah, but there are some games that are suspended, and most of them are my bets and with parlays, lol. So I guess I have to wait for them, don't know what time they're going to resumed, but I will not wait as it might be too late in my time when the game starts.
But there are games that's been playing right now, but not going to bet. Much better to wait for my previous parlays and see how it goes.

But if the Dallas Mavericks have a non-wavering spirit to still continue they can still win this game in the next game, maybe I will shift my bet to them in the next game, I just had the feeling that they will not let the Golden State Warriors make a sweep win,
Dallas has no more sense of urgency to win game 4 because they know that they will not survive to win the series. What's the point of playing hard if in the end they will still lose, so I think Mavericks are not anymore so hungry in game 4 and they will just choose to rest early to relax. Yeah, thinking the same, I mean they won't intentionally take a dive, but as we have seen in the last 3 games, Luka has a great performance and even Brunson but that wasn't enough unlike in the Suns series. Maybe they will continue to play very hard, but at the end, if they felt that the game is slipping away specially close minutes of the 4th quarter, they might wavered the white flag already and take this as a big lessons this season. No one thought that they are going to upset the top seed but did it. But against a championship DNA like the Warriors it's very difficult.

^^ I watched the fight and I agree that it was a mismatch, Lemieux looks very small at 168 lbs and Benavidez can go as high as CW because of his height and that's why he has so much power at this division. And I don't think Benavidez can get the Canelo sweepstakes in the next fight, Canelo is going to be busy with either GGG or a rematch with Bivol. So Benavidez will have to beat the rest of the 168 lbs first before getting Canelo.

Just to reiterate though, StockX has been sued by Nike regarding their NFT project, so I will stay away from them. This is the official document: https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/movanoemmpa/IP%20NIKE%20STOCKX%20amendclean.pdfSo I guess there are loopholes that needed to be patch before we can finally see big web2 companies. The whole luxury good authentication + NFT might take years before we can finally buy goods thru physical on-chains with no problems (items are real and genuine).
