Here we go, we will not see the last game of the day.

Ginebra vs Ginebra, both teams lose in their previous matches, but I'm seeing here that Ginebra is going to bounce back strong, so I'm backing them to win. Right now, they are -3.5 to win, and since it's Sunday, I hope the crowd will be able to help them.

Brownlee vs O'bryant, it's a great matchup, A bigger O'bryant vs Brownlee, but for sure Brownlee will not back down. It's nice seeing this competitive teams playing against each other. Ginebra had a good lead early but Meralco is catching up I think it's going to be a close game.

Anyway, good luck on your bet, that's doable.

I'm watching the game now, it's very entertaining and I'm liking it because Ginebra is still ahead. I know it's going to be a close game but all I like is for Ginebra to win by at least 4 points. Grin....

Waiting also in live, if Ginebra will be down by many points, I might take the ML as long as it's 3.00 and above.

Don't forget, Pringle is also back, so Ginebra is still a very dangerous team. I hope they'll have their first win in this conference, they are leading so far, so it's a good sign that they will win this game. It's a low-scoring game, maybe this would favor them.

Pringle by the way has 9 points so far, he is the 2nd leading scorer, next to Brownlee.
2562  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: October 01, 2022, 06:14:00 PM
I would not risk at that kind of odds, I'd rather look for an odds of 1.50 over 1.03 even if there's a huge chance it will win, one of the reasons is that upsets do happen in any sports, especially in boxing. Well, just let us know the odds for Inoue winning by KO in less than 6 rounds, I think that would be more interesting.

Yes, we should wait for more betting options while the fight is approaching. For now, we only have limited options. I'm expecting the odds for Naoya Inoue winning by Knockout in less than 6 rounds is still low knowing Inoue is really good at that and has a good Knockout rate in early rounds.

High odds will be expected at Inoue winning by Decision or KO at late rounds which in reality, it's hard to bet on that options.

However, that's the challenge in betting. No way bookies will give an easy pick with a high odds in the first place.

Yeah, it's very challenging on our part because bookies are so smart, we thought it was easy to win but in reality we gamblers are losing more than we win. In this fight, we know Inoue will win, but the question is, what round ranges he would be able to stop Butler.

maybe the odds for Inoue winning via decision is very much attractive, so we can wait on the odds to be available.

Yes, there's no way that the bookies will give such listing that is favorable to us bettors especially in this fight that is almost clear enough to say that Inoue is the one who will win and be named as the undisputed boxer in bantamweight division. Aside from the challenge to guess what round range will Inoue stop Butler, there's also a chance that Butler might survive a full 12-round fight. Not because he can keep up with the monster but because he chose the safe way to finish the fight.
2563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i get banned for Card Counting in online casinos? on: October 01, 2022, 05:28:25 PM
Card counting is not illegal, but in real life casinos people get kicked from casinos for this action, and casinos really hate people using this methods because it gives some advantage to the users.

If you don't know how card counting works you can read this explanation from fiulpro:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5273810.0

Or you can watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjfLuM-Pqr8

Here the question is, have you ever seen a user getting banned from an online casino for card counting?

To be clear, card counting isn't a method to always win, it's just a method to have better odds.
There is little doubt in my mind that something like this could happen to you, assuming that the casino in which you are playing does not shuffle after every round, something that I have seen even with a live dealer at many online casinos, and if that is the case eventually you are going to get banned.

And this is something that is very easy to identify, because most dealers know how to use card counting as well so if they notice that you begin to bet more money when you have the count in your favor then they are going to report your account.

Either way, you will still likely end up getting kicked out or worse get banned from entering that establishment again. Card counting is not illegal, of course, but the casino cannot let you have your chance again because you're already a threat to their daily income and we know that casino isn't built for the client's advantage. So chances are high that you will be eliminated, expect that if you start doing the said method.

My personal take with Davis and Garcia's childish scene. They are trying to engage their fans and let them ask for the fight to happen. I mean, they can provoke promoters to bring the contract on both sides. My opinion though. Moving back to this upcoming fight, trash talks might be used to attract possible viewers aside from those fans who surely will buy the ticket.


That might be the case why Garcia and Davis have been so foolish and exchanging some words in social media, they are trying to make some hype but people know that the current Ryan Garcia cannot defeat the current Gervonta Davis. It might be best for Garcia to facilitate Shakur first in the latter's debut in lightweight because his recent opponents aren't that strong enough to consider that he is indeed ready to fight Gervonta Davis.

I do agree, both of this boxers should be mature enough and not to go to social media and be that tell it all attitude. But who can blame Garcia, I do remember someone mentioned him as social media champ.

And now that we have a new boxer in the horizon, which is Shakur so definitely this will be fun for the next coming years. The hype is already there, it's the promoters and their network that can be the stumbling block.

As usual, that's typical Ryan Garcia and he's been so noisy in the social media lately while trying to bait Tank Davis to have a fight with him, Garcia should be careful this time because he might get what he asked for and Tank Davis might give him his first defeat. Garcia might be depressed again and his mental problems will get worse.

I agree, the lightweight division is quite stacked with potential great boxers and it's an advantageous to our side because we will see great fights in the years and months to come.

Do you manage to consistently earn from trading, do you have a stable income every month? If yes, then you are in that small percentage of people who succeed in trading. Personally, bitcoin has not changed my life much, I continue to do what I did before I met him, but I continue to buy bitcoin and I hope that in the future it will change my life for the better.
yes I managed to get a consistent income from the trades that I did. I even have a private group to just chat and share analytical techniques about bitcoin and other altcoins. Bitcoin will surprise you if you are consistent to keep buying bitcoin. You just need to wait and be patient. If your target is still not achieved it's not a problem, just a matter of time. and remember that before bitcoin as it is today, many underestimated bitcoin and considered it just digital trash. but now bitcoin is more gold than real gold. Do what you love and accumulate your bitcoins.
Some do even think that it is really too late on engaging on it without even trying to realize that it is really never been too late to accumulate considering the price potential which might reached up in the future then

this is where people do really get interested in but of course we shouldnt really forget the risk involved since nothing could really be that assured when it comes to future aspect.
Bitcoin had done something in my life which it did really changed up the way in my finances.

It might not completely changed up my lifestyle but at least im earning which is more than the amount that i could use on or spent which basically you could really
have more savings if you are really just too wise on it.

Yes, investing in bitcoin and other coins in the market is totally risky but bitcoin already proved to us many times too that its risk is worth it because the result that we will reap soon is worth the effort and it's not yet too late to invest in bitcoin, just like it's always a perfect time to buy especially now that bitcoin can be bought at a discounted price.

Bitcoin is still not finished showing its potential and it's not yet finished helping peoples lives as well. Personally, bitcoin has been a great help for me, not just financially, it broaden and opened my eyes to the reality that I didn't know before.

.....

Any news on Jordan Clarkson though? I thought he is on the trading block after the Jazzz let go of Mitchell and they are rebuilding from ground up.
I only read about the interest from the Bucks and the potential return to the Lakers but I really have no idea to be honest. Maybe the Jazz will just offer him an extension so they could still have someone that will help them to compete and not plunge to the bottom of the table.

I think the Lakers are pretty full at the PG position and seem to be sticking with Westbrook. I was under the impression that Clarkson would have been the piece in any deal to get the Lakers picks and take Russ’ contract. Russell said today that he wants to go for the MVP this year, so maybe he’s feeling better this year… I’m not so sure MVP is in the cards for him ever again.

Yes, but I guess the Jazz is not interested on Russ contract. Hopefully Clarkson remain as a Jazz, but as I have said, the rebuilding process has started and so those Jazz players will have to go including Conley, in which there is also noise that Lakers is interested until they got Pat and then Dennis, and Bognadovic. Hopefully it will be a win win for those remaining Jazz players.

Why would they get Westbrook? Cheesy Just like you said, they are on a rebuilding process and surely they wouldn't get a veteran player who is not on his prime years anymore. It's much better for the Jazz if they bet on the younger ones rather than the veterans, and if they get some veterans, that should be reliable enough to lead the team. Rumors are saying that Jordan Clarkson might receive an extension rather than a trade.
2567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: September 30, 2022, 04:57:53 PM
Something that Canelo didn't expect when they met inside the ring, simple jabs then  protect his face and body, not allowing Canelo to break his defense.

Canelo is too confident that he thinks he can outclass Bivol in their match. Since he is an undisputed champion, he is confident that he can easily defeat Bivol in their match. Bivol is also a heavy underdog and their odds are really a gap.

But Bivol just does his usual boxing style. He didn't even use special techniques or what.

I guess we can also say that Canelo might have underestimate Bivol too because he thought that he could crack another title in the light-heavyweight as he successfully did the same thing 2 years ago against Sergey Kovalev. Seriously, they need to consider that Bivol was a natural in that said division while Canelo needed an extra weight to meet the required weight, that also means that he will get slower while giving an advantage to Bivol. And now, there's a rumor that Canelo will face Ilunga Makabu in cruiserweight. That's a suicide!

Pwede para naman may kapalitan ang main stars kahit saglit at di na masyadong gamit na gamit sa buong laro dahil para narin makaiwas sa mga injuries. Yan lang talaga ang kailangan nilang iwasan para makalaro man lang sila ng mas matagal-tagal at makaraiting din sa playoffs dahil may palag naman talaga ang Chicago Bulls kung tutuusin. Ma-offensive man at defense ay meron silang players na pang malakasan na kayang makipag sabayan sa mga stars ng ibang team.

Useless din kung kuhain ang mga iyon kung pampalit lang din sa main stars ng saglitan. Mas tipid pa sa budget kung iyong current role players na lang ang ipapalit sa mga main stars at wag na iyong medyo may pangalan. Ok na ang Chicago Bulls ngayon. Di need ng kapalitan ni DeRozan at Lavine dahil sanay sa mamaw na laro. Kung papalitan sila, pwede na iyong mga best role players sila.

Zach Lavine = 34.7 MPG
DeMar DeRozan = 36.1 MPG

Mga sanay sa batakang laro at no need na kumuha ng Bulls pamalit sa mga yan para sa saglit na pahinga.

May punto ka nga naman, money wise ay makakatipid talaga ang Bulls pero ang maaaring kapalit naman nyan ay injury dahil sa halos wala nang pahinga dahil nga walang nababagay na maging kapalitan nila. Maliban dyan ay mas pagod ang dating ng main stars nila lalo na pag nagkataon na may mga back-to-back games na kailangan nilang laruin.
2569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 29, 2022, 10:11:53 PM

I agree! It was evident that Kambosos was indeed having a hard time against Haney and even his punches won't get through because the latter has a good tight defense. We are not underestimating Kambosos here but when he is sharing a ring with Haney, the latter makes him looks like an amateur boxing who don't know what to do, that's how good Haney is. He might be boring to watch but we cannot really argue that his style is good.

That's the sad truth, maybe we think that Kambasos will make an adjustment but for sure Haney will also make an adjustment and he will be ready with Haney's game plan. This is one of the rematch fights that fans think the outcome will be the same on the first fight.

That is for sure, Kambosos may train all he want and come prepared this time but the fact is Haney is also doing the same thing or much better than what Kambosos is doing. It's not like Haney will just sit and wait for Kambosos, of course Haney's camp will also improve what they did in their first encounter. That said, I'm still inclined that there's not much difference in this rematch, Haney will still be the undisputed champion at the end of the day and the one who will face Loma next.
2570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 29, 2022, 09:36:21 PM

I don't think that bookies have inside information on the fight, they may have listed it based on the articles that is coming out and that is the date of Nov 19.

And we have to search for the latest article, still goes down to the fight being agreed in terms. But nowhere we see that they have sign the contract already. So in short, the fight is still far from being made and the only thing we do is wait and as you have said, be positive.

I can't believe that we have 40 pages and yet we are not 100% sure that the fight is going to happen, we are left speculating by all the parties involved in this fight, and I wonder what's going on in the minds of both fighters are they concentrating on the fight now, are they training hard even if there is no contract signed, this is the first time I read that there is a fight going to happen even though there is no contract signed, and we are a few days before October its only two months before their supposed date of the fight.

I reckon this discussion was created weeks after Spence defeated Ugas by a TKO and said that he's going to take Crawford's belt next, although Spence didn't disclose nor gave a hint on when will he take on Crawford next, he just said that he'll fight but that could mean a year from now Grin It's just people and fans, including us, are already excited and called for a fight for an undisputed. In other words, it's safe to assume that Spence will take some months to rest first before he will have an discussion with Crawford's camp and I really think that's what happened because the fight took long enough before they reached a deal (still verbally as of this day).

Best guess is that both camps are already training because their forecasted date is approaching fast, they only have less than 2 months left to prepare and train. Maybe that's the same reason why they are so silent these days after we received an information that they've already reached a deal.
2571  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: September 29, 2022, 09:08:38 PM
^ May nabasa ako na interesado ang Bulls, Kobe White + Derrick Jones. Ewan ko lang kung papatulan ng Jazz yan. Personally, nakukulangan ako sa trade na yan hehehe.

Pero kung nangangailan ng guard at center and Jazz eh baka kagatin nila tong trade na to. At maganda rin naman ang Bulls dahil mabigat din na team to sa East. Medyo kinapos lang sa dulo ng regular season at nagkanda injured injured sila at nasira ang momentum. Kaya exit sila last 1st round ng playoff last season. Mas pabor kung 6th man ulit sila sa Bulls, either is Lavine at DeRozan ang papalitan nya.

Pwede ung rotation na yun, kasi kung either Drozan at Lavine ang papalitan nya malamang makakapag pahinga ng maayos at pagdating ng end quarter wh well rest talaga sila at yung huling takbuhan ang pinaimportante, gaya din naman ng sinabi mo bigatin din naman ang Bulls kumbaga may laban din sila sa East pagnagputukan ang mga laro nila.

Sana lang makaiwas na sila sa mga mabibigat na injuries at maging maayos yung chemistry nila sa isat isa.

Malalaman na lang natin kung ano ang update pag nag announce na ang parehing koponan patungkol dito.

Pwede para naman may kapalitan ang main stars kahit saglit at di na masyadong gamit na gamit sa buong laro dahil para narin makaiwas sa mga injuries. Yan lang talaga ang kailangan nilang iwasan para makalaro man lang sila ng mas matagal-tagal at makaraiting din sa playoffs dahil may palag naman talaga ang Chicago Bulls kung tutuusin.

2572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 28, 2022, 04:34:50 PM
I have read news that the Celtics players were caught off guard about Ime Udoka's case. Majority of them found the news in twitter like Jayson Tatum and so they are confused.

And then they are talking about how excited they are to come back this new season to do it all over again and duplicate what they have accomplished - go to the finals. But it seems that the players are affected by it and they are taking about the 'process', as they will be coach by Joe Mazzulla.
Losing one player in a team especially if that player contributed so much last season is a big loss.
Losing a coach who helped you reach the NBA Finals in his first year is much more.

Udoka's absence will be felt that's for sure. Mazzulla's way of coaching them will be different. When they already find a perfect coach for the team then sh*t happened. In the media day, you can see them really confused and kinda sad because of what happened. With this loss, I don't know if they will still be the top picks in winning the title. We don't know how Coach Mazzulla coach a team but let's give him also a chance. Maybe, just maybe he can do well or perhaps better than Coach Udoka.

Nobody expected it and even the franchise didn't see the coming but they don't have any choice because a rule is a rule, Ime Udoka is not exempted even if they really need him. It's Ime Udoka's fault because he didn't weigh things correctly and became selfish, anyway, I can already imagine the heavy burden that has been passed to the new coach. The management is giving him a high standard after what the team accomplished last season.
2573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 28, 2022, 08:20:39 AM

Back to this fight, it looks like Haney will still win again as his chances to win again have increased this time that's why he is confident to fight Kambosos again in his place. That said, the chance of trilogy is quite low, so I think we will see Haney vs Loma next.

Maybe yes or we never know what will be the fighting chance of Kambosos as he's the one who needs to adjust and make a big come back if he wanted to reclaim the belt. I'm not sure about the bookies reference in terms of placing the underdog and the favorite but maybe it's more on the title holder and for Kambosos fans they might get better odd on this fight.

Of course, Haney's win is not guaranteed yet but based on what we saw and their abilities, we can somehow speculate that Haney still have the higher hand this time. We don't know yet what will Kambosos do this time, but I know they have some plan because they wouldn't activate the rematch clause in just mere months after the fight if they didn't figure out something.
As for the betting side, Haney might be the favorite too but I think his odds compared to the underdog is not that far.

The odds for Haney is high to win in this rematch, we have seen the Kambosos struggles against a fighter that has good defense. He can't even land a good punch on Haney in their first fight, what makes it different in the second? If he will adjust in the rematch, so is Haney. And being one of the best ring IQ, Haney can play chess match and anticipate George next move in this second fight.

So most likely, the outcome will be the same, all judges awarding Haney the scores and Haney will opt to move up and not face Lomachenko. Or if he wanted the experience then fight him next year.

I agree! It was evident that Kambosos was indeed having a hard time against Haney and even his punches won't get through because the latter has a good tight defense. We are not underestimating Kambosos here but when he is sharing a ring with Haney, the latter makes him looks like an amateur boxing who don't know what to do, that's how good Haney is. He might be boring to watch but we cannot really argue that his style is good.
2574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: September 28, 2022, 07:49:54 AM
Well, it's not new anymore that people wanted some spices before the actual fight to somehow make the fight more interesting. I know Zurdo is one of a kind but he needs to prove himself first against Bivol before starts boasting and saying lines like that.

If that is what he believes, then we just have to let it that way. Zurdo might be boasting but actually, he won't have the guts to say things like that if he's not sure about it. Might be because of his perfect record, he thinks achieving it is really difficult although he's correct on that regardless of the level of popularity of those he fought before.

Against Bivol, this might be the biggest fight of his career that's why he is pumped up. Let's wait if his talks is not just about talk.

Well, if Bivol hasn't fought Canelo earlier then this will be a normal fight for Zurdo. Golden Boy Promotions would be the sole promoter and there is a possibility that they will rob Bivol of a victory if there are rounds that are a little close.

Back to reality, I hope both fighters are in their best condition. I love the neutral venue which is beneficial to the defending champion. I know Bivol is in love with boxing technique but I would love to see knockdowns and knockouts.  
I think he will try to go for a knockout here, but i guess Ramirez being the bigger fighter, Bivol might have a difficulty achieving it. In any case, we have seen that he can bang and the uses his technical skills, just like what he did against Canelo.

So if he dominates Ramirez, then I guess it will be the same as win though and then fans are going to pumped again because he will be having a rematch with another Mexican.

Yes, Bivol is already used to beat boxers who are taller than him and he already proved that he can outboxed them using his speed and IQ inside the ring, but I'm also thinking that we might underestimating Ramirez that much because seeing his few fights, I can also tell that Ramirez is not an easy opponent to defeat which explains why he got a pretty record and also undefeated just like Bivol.
2575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 27, 2022, 04:55:39 PM
I also believe that Bud Crawford have the higher hand in this fight, the man is fearless and could break mountains if he has to. While Spence here is clearly trying to drag the schedule because he knows that Crawford won't be the same as time goes by.

I don't think Spence is avoiding Crawford to expect that the latter won't be the same as time goes by.

While Crawford is catching age, the same for Spence too. Bud is 34 years old while The Truth is 32 years old. I don't think there's a big difference in their strength or having a huge gap in their skills with that 2 years difference in their age.

While Bud is building a legacy, Spence is a businessman. He wants to make sure that he will get the most share of every fight. If he fight Crawford before, he might end up taking the small share of the purse split that's why he established his career first and build his reputation to become the PPV King.

It's probably not about the age gap because it's not that too far, it's not like GGG vs Canelo, and Pacman vs Ugas. There's a big reason why this fight is still not announced until now, the number 1 reason is probably the split of the money, and I have a feeling hyping this fight would not help anymore in order to make it happen.

Age is not a factor yet in this fight, even a 34 years old is still young and can give a lot of hardships to its foe mainly if his name is Terence Crawford.

I still didn't get why the fight is still not established yet because they already announced that they already had a verbal agreement but it's been a week already since that information surfaced. Why is it taking so long to get that final announcement in this undisputed fight? Although I believe they are already past the point where they are still argue about the purse split.

Expected na nila yan na early exit sila ngayong season dahil nasa process parin sila ng rebuilding at siguradong alam nila na mga dalawa or tatlong season pa ang aabutin para ma overcome nila ang setback ng kanilang ginawang rebuilding. Yan talaga ang consequence na kailangan nilang harapin dahil sa ginawa nila at di hamak na magiging matamis ang bunga na kanilang pipitasin kung sakaling maka chamba sila ng mga acquisition nila.

Sa ngayon, wala paring improvement sa trade ni JC pero parang ang top choices ng Jazz ay Bucks at Hornets, baka lang.

Sana nga matyambahan nila at mapanatili nila yung makukuha nilang future star, baka kasi katulad lang din nung mga
team na napabayaan lang din ung mga future pick or nasayang lang dahil sa mali ang napiling prospect.

Sa ngayon siguro supresa na lang din kung sakaling lumagpas sila ng 2nd round sa bago nilang selection at gaya ng
nasabi nating pareho early exit talaga ang eexpect sa Jazz ngayon.

Wala pa ring update para kay JC baka wala pang pang offer yung team na nagkakainterest sa kanya.
Di talaga yan guaranteed at di rin gaanong tataas ang kanilang chances kung di sila susugal, ganyan talaga eh. Tanging pera at swerte lang na makakuha ng magaling na player para masungkit ang championship dahil kung di sila susugal ay wala talagang pag-asa. 2nd round? Parang mataas na nga yan na expectation para sa Jazz na nasa rebuilding process pa, swerte narin kong makaka survive sa play-in tournament.

Ewan kabayan, di ko narin alam kong ano na sitwasyon nya sa ngayon dahil parang humina ang trade offers or baka lang na di pa tapos ang Jazz na mag balance kung anong team ang may mas magandang mabigigay na package.
2577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 27, 2022, 03:05:43 PM

In my opinion, the rosters of the Clippers, Wolves, and Cavs look promising.


These three teams supported their squads well.
But the strongest among them are the Clippers as we know.
I don't think Minnesota and Cavaliers will have much of a chance in the NBA finals. Because they don't have a real all-star player on their team. Like Kawhi Leonard.

With a healthy Kawhi, I also believe that Clippers will have a good chance of making their way to the next round,
just need another good run and bring the team back to winning passion.

They almost made it last season even both Kawhi and PG are resting, the role players are good and with the stars
playing around the winning chance is much expected.

Plus, adding John Wall, another offensive player, it is really exciting how the team will perform in this upcoming season.

Everyone knows what Kawhi is capable of. He previously led the Raptors to the championship. I think he can make it to the finals this season with the support of PG and John Wall.



Indeed and that's what makes the team more dangerous this season because both Paul George and Kawhi are back in the court along with the roster who can play decently even without their superstars. Now that they are complete, they'll be a threat to any team in the West as long as both superstars can survive the whole season. This season is going to be interesting because the other teams in the league have improved as well.

3: Do not freak out:

One of the biggest benefit of long term investment is you don’t have to check market again and again. Thus you will face no tension. But to do that you have to build patience in yourself. Which you can do by not becoming a prey of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
I'm sure this will be difficult for most new investors especially for those who are new to investing. Panic is normal when the price drops 10%-15% in less than 24 hours, but when a trader or investor ignores these fluctuations and chooses to hold on and believe in another potential in the future then they have become a strong hand.

Don't panic, it's much easier said than realized in day-to-day or short-term trading practice. I agree that if one can avoid panicking when the price drops [in particular bitcoin] then they will have no regrets in the long run if the bounce occurs in a relatively quick timeframe.

OP, by the way you could also consider moving this thread to a trading discussion board instead of a bitcoin discussion board.

I agree.

I have a lot of friends who have a wrong understanding about Bitcoin. They always thought that once they invest in it, it will always give them profits, so the ending is that they are always disappointed and losing hope already. Most of the people who invested in Bitcoin because of the hype of cryptocurrency since the pandemic started has this kind of mindset, they are the panic sellers, and they are the ones that thought they could earn a lot of money like other crypto enthusiast by just simply investing their fiat on a volatile cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is not for those who are such investors. They fear the volatility of Bitcoin. Moreover, they unknowingly invested during the Bitcoin hype and panicked whenever its price started to fall. Many have sold again at a loss. Those investors need to acquire enough knowledge about the importance of Bitcoin, its uses and how to hold it. But knowingly or not, there is no harm in investing in Bitcoin if they are able to wait until it gets expected ATH. Because Bitcoin is the only who is always able to break the previous ATH in bull market.
Other than the lack of knowledge, some investors are just looking for a small term investment, invest big and reap big depends on their timeline. We know that the chances are not big but the risks are worth taking as we don't know what's ahead of us. So I really think that's the possible reason why some of them sold their assets when the market starts to decline. Other than that, there are investors who don't really know much about bitcoin and its risk, just like the way you said.

Sa tingin ko malabong gawin main man ng Jazz is Clarkson, walang dudang magaling ang ating kababayan, pero kung nagawa nilang i trade si Mitchell, malamang wala na silang ititira sa mga lumang Jazz.

Oo malabo yan kasi dapat dati pa. Kahit maganda pa ang pinapakita ni Clarkson lagi syang off the bench.

Sana magtagumpay Utah Jazz sa eksperimento nila. Bata pa si Mitchell pero pinakawalan nila.

Parang ang hirap isipin na magrerely sila sa young cores para sa goal na championship. Puwede ring mag tank sila ngayong season para maganda ang pick nila sa next draft pick.

Yes, expect na yang mag tank sila ngayon, at syempre may papalit na team sa West kung saka sakali sa Jazz sa top 4-5 spot.

Hindi ko talaga nakikita si Clarkson at franchise player or maging starting five nila, at talagang i trade na nila to. Isa rin si Conley nga, sa mga nangangailangan ng point guard na team, tyak panalo sila dito kaya lang hindi na rin to bumabata kaya siguro hindi rin kagandahan ang offer kung i trade ng Jazz.

After nilang pakawalan lahat ng main gunners nila malamang sa malamang eh bokya or early exit sila sa season na to,

pero siguro part din ng plano yan at ungtarget na makakuha ng future super star ang target nila tapos dun na nila papaikutan ng mga role players.

Mahirap lang din yung sitwasyon ni JC pero syempre kahit san naman sya maglalaro adjustment lang din talaga ang kailangan nya.

Aabangan na lang natin yung balita kung may mangyayari pang trade para sa kanya, kung merong interesting offer para makuha sya ng
ibang team.

Expected na nila yan na early exit sila ngayong season dahil nasa process parin sila ng rebuilding at siguradong alam nila na mga dalawa or tatlong season pa ang aabutin para ma overcome nila ang setback ng kanilang ginawang rebuilding. Yan talaga ang consequence na kailangan nilang harapin dahil sa ginawa nila at di hamak na magiging matamis ang bunga na kanilang pipitasin kung sakaling maka chamba sila ng mga acquisition nila.

Sa ngayon, wala paring improvement sa trade ni JC pero parang ang top choices ng Jazz ay Bucks at Hornets, baka lang.

Yes, there's no problem with that. I'm just seeing most of the fans have talked about that before but it's no longer a problem. Everyone has to end their journey with their championship team and has to be traded away if that's the management's decision.

They cannot keep them all anyway even if they wanted too. Their salary is bound to go up and if GSW keeps them, they would be over the cap and will be paying a lot of luxury tax. It would not be a wise move. They have to make a choice who to let go and who to keep.
Well, that's right.

They'll have that salary cap and that's why some of them has to let go and be traded. As a player goes into a championship, I guess that they're also bound to increase their salaries and contracts.

And the GSW management can't keep with that and maybe, that's a brilliant thing for some of those that wanted to increase their salary but, they'll no longer be part of that great championship team that they've been part of.

The players already knew that they have no choice at all when they are being selected to be drafted so that the team will not pay excessive luxury tax, NBA is business after all as well as the franchise. If the players earn, the franchise needs to earn and save too, that's the point. If only luxury tax wasn't there, I bet the teams in the league will be so stacked up because they will be keeping their players especially the ones who are so vital for the team's win in the championship.
