Lakers lose another close one to go to 0-3. Russell Westbrook still shooting terribly and costing them games down the stretch. LeBron put up 31 again on his quest to become the best scorer of all time. The star of the game though was Damian Lillard who got 41 points on 25 shots while carrying his team to a 2 point win over the Lakers. The Lakers really didn’t play bad. Even Westbrook didn’t turn the ball over. If he could just start making some shots they would be so much better…
4/15 shooting for Westbrook. He is considered one of the players that will help Lebron get W's, but this is how he is playing. So unreliable if you will ask me.

Now they tied with the Philly that has 0-3. The teams that we are expecting to be at the top are now the teams that are at the bottom and still no wins and on the other hand, the teams that we aren't expecting to be on the top are the ones that are the top right now. Talking about Portland and the Utah Jazz.

The first 3 games of Westbrook are very disappointing. Many are expecting some changes with how he is playing, but it looks like nothing changed. Maybe it's too early to judge some might say, but the Lakers will not enter the playoffs if he will continue to play like that. Their roster right now is very different from what it was when they won a title. That roster is way better than it is right now so aside from Westbrook, other players must step up on their performance every night.

Ginebra is currently 4.95 ML. I guess there's no chance they will win against the Magnolia, seems like Magnolia is really a legit team and they will continue winning. I bet on Ginebra -1.5 before the game, now I'm hoping miracle will happen but I'm not adding my bet anymore.
What a win for Ginebra, many already thought Magnolia will win but it looks like the game plan has changed and it will now in favor to Ginebra. It’s good to see their hassle in the last part of 4th quarter, I watch the game and I think they really deserve the win tonight. Well, this is basketball and there’s no safe lead for any team. Magnolia should take this as a lesson not to be complacent.
I thought Magnolia will also win here, they are leading on every field but at the last part of the game, Ginebra exploded and didn’t give up easily, that’s a heart of a champion and that’s why supporters love Ginebra that much, because they never say die. A huge bounce back for Ginebra after their loss, maybe this is the start of their winning streak as well. To Magnolia, it’s ok to experience the first loss agains Ginebra that’s a huge experience already.
Scripted!!!!!

Just kidding and I guess the Magnolia just ran out of steam coming into the 4th quarter and that's when the Ginebra took advantage of it, regain the lead and winning the game. I'm pretty sure that the 12,087 audiences who watched the game enjoyed the game especially the 4th quarter. I wish that every game was like that but... it will only happen in my dreams only.

Anyway, you can see the frustration of the Magnolia import in the dying seconds of the game maybe because this is his first loss, but his overall performance is very impressive TBH. I watched his game last night and he is a monster inside the paint. He is very good in positioning in getting rebounds that's why he is getting many of that and some of them are offensive as well. I will not be surprised if he will be one of the candidates in best import of the conference.

Overall, yesterday was a good day for the PBA fans because of how good those 2 games are. Congratulations to the winners and Magnolia will bounce back after losing for sure.

Anytime the price of an asset or commodity shoots straight up vertical producing 10x+ returns, it's a good time to sell.

Let this be a lesson to anyone new to crypto, not to get greedy.
I think I'll put this on my mind starting from now.
TBH, I'm only having an unrealized loss right now just because I didn't sell my Bitcoins, but I'm holding it for long term. Because of this advice, I will sell a portion of my Bitcoin portfolio to buy something that I need. I mean it isn't just because of this advice that I will sell my Bitcoins, but I already planned of selling it when the bull run starts again.

I was a year ago, but I didn't feel that it really is.

This just shows that Bitcoin is very volatile. It can make your money x10 in just a matter of 3-4 years but at the same time, it can make your capital go down 10 times. Bitcoin is volatile but that volatility makes millionaires. This also shows that if you already bought at the top by mistake, it would be better to not panic and just hold it until the new bull run starts again.

As a responsible gambler, I know we don't let gambling change our lifestyle. If today is your luckiest day ever in gambling,on your first game you won the sum of $50 000.
First, will you quit the game immediately and withdraw all your funds or will you play for awhile because you are excited.
Withdraw it immediately and I will stop gambling after winning for maybe a few weeks to around 1-2 months I guess.
I mean $50,000 is already a huge money considering I'm living in a 3rd world country. Though in reality, I'm not thinking of me winning that huge amount already.

Second, will you use this money to upgrade your lifestyle i.e living big and showing off,even relocating to a better environment and forget about your old friends in your former neighborhood ? Or will you just remain quiet,happy and living a your normal way of life but investing the money into something profitable without telling anyone ?
It will depend.
I guess I'll just by some of my needs, a bit of my wants and I might upgrade my computer set if I won that huge amount of money. I will also invest most of those winnings into dividend paying stock market as well for long term and of course, I will invest some into Bitcoin Smiley.

Overall, different people have different opinions and different things to do when this happens to them. There might be some here including me saying that we will invest our winnings or will buy some of our needs blah blah but in reality, there are some who will prefer to use it to gamble again because greediness ate them just after winning a huge amount of money. I mean it is a nature of a person already that whenever they won a huge amount, they will ask for more. They will not be satisfied until they lost all of their winnings.

The Denver Nuggets were able to beat the Golden State Warriors. I feel like if there was another couple of minutes left the Warriors would have won though. The impressive thing is that Denver did it without Murray who is joining them for their home opener. I think the Denver Nuggets and New Orleans Pelicans are going to surprise people this year and show that their time is coming. My sleeper picks for the Finals.
I didn't watch the game either but I saw some highlights and I confess that the Nuggets also surprised me, especially without Murray playing.

Wait a minute, do you really believe the Pelicans can play in the finals? What are your arguments that this could happen?

Currently the Pelicans have an interesting and promising roster, but is that enough for them to be NBA champions or WCF champions?
Surprising but not that surprising to me because I know that the Warriors are the champions, and they are a great team but that doesn't mean that they are unbeatable already. What's more surprising to me is the start of the Utah Jazz right now. They defeated the Cavaliers on their debut game, and they also defeated the Timberwolves.

Now with regards to the Pelicans, I said that they are the "dark horse" of the league right now and that is the team to watch out in my opinion. Will they reach the playoffs? Yes, they will. How high they can get in the playoffs? I think they can go as high as Conference Semi-Finals only. They are too young, and their roster is too inexperienced when it comes to the playoffs, and we know how experience affects the performance of the team during the playoffs. They are a promising team yes but to win the title is too exaggerated at least for me but I will be surprised if they might take it all and be the WCF champions.

They'll be playing the Ginebra San Miguel this Sunday who came from a loss against the Phoenix, I think I found an opportunity here, of course I'm going to be on Ginebra as they always bounce back everytime they lose.
TBH, it's hard to predict which team will win this time even though Ginebra wins after they lose.

They will face the undefeated Magnolia right now and for sure their momentum in their first 5 games will be carried coming into this game. The import of Magnolia is doing very good, and he is leading right now in rebounds with 18 RPG.

If you are a gambler, then you might go with the Ginebra, but I believe in momentums and I might try and place a bet on Magnolia later Cheesy. Will watch on this game tomorrow.

Betting for the Meralco Bolts -2.5 @1.8 in the second game, hope they win and cover this not so wide spread.
~
ROS leading by 7 points at the half, seems my bet is on the way to losing here  Sad.
Meralco isn't playing well this season and aside from SMB, they are also at the bottom right now.
On the other hand, ROS isn't playing very well like other independent teams, but they aren't that worse as well like Meralco and SMB. Well, they might come back and erase that lead in the 2nd half.

What a devastating loss for Terrafirma against Bay Area, it looks like an exhibition match for Bay Area but those are pros.
I don't know what's happening with the system of Terrafirma but they have to address that if they want to stay with the league. Bay Area enjoys a big lead since the start of the game, they don't want to take this easily and the result was a very huge gap between the score. What's next for Terrafirma after this?
The loss of SMB against Converge is more devastating for me compared to Bay Area defeating TerraFirma.

I mean the outcome of TerraFirma-Bay Area is expected already and we can predict that they will lose to them. What I didn't expect is SMB losing to Converge by only 4 points. Now the SMB are 1-3 and they are at the bottom as well. We are almost at the halfway of the elimination already and just by looking at the standings, 4 of the top 8 teams consists of independent teams. I think it just shows that independent teams can still make ways to defeat these big companies even though they are getting talented players to them.

As for SMB, this is only my observation. SMB not that great when it is Commissioner's Cup and Governor's Cup but when it is Philippine Cup, they are dominating the league. Now with Fajardo gone for the remainder of the elimination, how will the SMB bounce back after having a 1-3 lose record.

The easier a token can get by the masses, the easier it is to be dumped by the masses as well.
I don't know but I'm thinking that this is the same as bounty campaign where you will share some posts and you will be paid thru tokens.

As an investor, it isn't appealing for me to buy this token because why would I buy it if I can get it for free right? I mean what's the sense in buying it if those who can get it for free can just sell it whenever they want to, causing the price to go down. I'm pretty sure this is either not worth your time or there is some limit into it like a limited number of tokens that you can get for a day. Overall, not worth my time.

If you are skillful, you can land many jobs depending on what industry what you are excelling with.

With regards to cryptocurrency, there are some clients who are paying cryptos to freelancers though there are few of it and most of them prefer fiat still and add also the fact that crypto is very volatile in nature.

There are many ways for a person to earn in the crypto world. You only must know what job you are entering with and like I said, the more skillful you are, the more jobs you can get especially in crypto.

Pelicans ready for a deep run this season ? I hope so...because the hype around this team floats in the air for some years now and we haven't saw anything great from them so far.

They are more confident now, you can tell with the way they played, they didn't get intimated by the Nets although that team was a good team having Durant and Irving. With a healthy Zion, I think they will be a tough team to crack as they can attack inside and they have the height to grab that offensive rebounds if they'll miss. Just imagine, Zion using his body to get inside and they also have a Ingram who is a great perimeter shooter.
That's why I said in my previous post that the Pelicans are the "dark horse" right now in the NBA.
They are the team to watch with as they are packed with talented and efficient players.

A big three of Zion, Ingram and a veteran McCollum, a legit big in Valanciunas and Hayes as their 2nd option, a defensive player like Jones and very good bench players. Just by looking how they played against the Nets on their first game is already a sign that we might see them performing even better than the previous season. If they will not get injured, they might end up in the top 4 of the West. Might be too high but that's my expectations with them.
2652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin Repeat History ? on: October 20, 2022, 08:55:31 AM
2017 is the year where Bitcoin went up massively and then the year after that, it went down massively causing investors to lose huge amount of money. I call 2018 the "year of hell".

2021 is also the year where Bitcoin reached its new ATH of around $69,000. Now year 2022, we are again in a bear market. See the cycle? It's the 4-year cycle and I believe that it is happening again, and it will happen in the years 2025 and 2026. Now to answer your question, yes, I believe that Bitcoin will repeat history but let's not remove the fact that it might not happen as well but just looking at the history, we can see that history repeat's itself.
2653  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bull Market, Is it going to come soon or Will People have to Wait More.. on: October 20, 2022, 08:16:03 AM
Where do you see Bitcoin in coming 2023,
It's either it will remain sideways at the range that where it is right now or worse, it might go even lower. No signs of it going up right now as the whole world is suffering from very high inflation.

1) Do you believe it will be at approx. same price or will it go up or down, its better if u share some insights in support of your opinion

2) Do you think due to Bitcoin , the other altcoins may lose its charm , and go nearly dead, such as BCH ..

3) Do you believe only the mass Bitcoin Adoption by more countries can bring a bull market..

4) Do u Think it has something to do with global Inflation, where even stock market is on ventilators..
1. When Bull run starts, it will always surpass the old ATH so I expect a new ATH when the bull run starts.
2. It wasn't Bitcoin that is the reason why some altcoins are dead right now. It's the community of the coin because some projects lose its community for some reasons, but the most common reasons are either it was hacked, or the trust is gone.
3. It might contribute, but that isn't only the reason. I still believe in cycles and that is also the reason why crypto goes into bull market.
4. Yes, it is. Stocks, Bonds, Crypto, Real Estate. All of the assets are down right now and there is no sign that it will reverse so I expect the same situation until 2023.
2654  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Pi network mining on: October 20, 2022, 06:46:38 AM
Lately it seems that Pi network is growing day by day.  Who can touch Bitcoin on the Pi network?  Many say that the Pi Network will overtake Bitcoin.  I had a bit of a laugh when I heard about the Bitcoin leak.  Bitcoin is the number one coin in cryptocurrency.  I don't think comparing any coin to Bitcoin is anything but silly.  But what is your opinion?  If anyone has an idea about pi network, please let me know.
Threads regarding Pi Network always pop if not weekly, monthly. Growing day by day? You're joking right?

I also always see posts in Facebook regarding Pi Network and just a few days ago, I saw a post regarding him and CZ of Binance, and he added Pi Network to the caption saying that you must bought Pi Network now that he and CZ got a picture already. That poster has a shirt with the logo of Pi as well. I mean WTF!! Is this how desperate the Pi Network supporters now.

One of the most laughable phrases that I always heard is that "Coin X will overcome Bitcoin" blah blah blah. When I always hear this, I immediately reject that project and will not make research of it. I mean for how many years, there are many altcoins saying that they will overcome Bitcoin, but no one can ever do it. My idea about Pi Network? It's a project that I will not touch even though it has a large community of stupid investors.

The game between Meralco and Phoenix, it was Phoenix who are controlling the game so far.
~
The Phoenix win against the Meralco 89-82.
To sum it up, NLEX also won against their sister team, TNT.

I will not be surprised if Meralco will change imports right now because it seems like O'Bryant is not that efficient. He only got 7 points and 16 rebounds in 46 minutes of playing and only 2/17 shooting. For an import, it's an awful performance and for sure many fans will agree with that. Now the Meralco are at the bottom of the standings right now and if I'm Coach Norman Black, I'll be thinking of replacing O'Bryant and find another import.

Just be mindful since anything can happen just like how bossing upset SMB, who knows, maybe the next thing we see it's DYIP time to upset a super team..
I still remember how Blackwater got their first win after 29 game losing streak. It was against Magnolia on their last game as well in that conference and they won by just a point.

Anything can happen in basketball. Who would've thought that Ginebra lost twice against independent teams right now. Who would've thought that Blackwater will win against SMB. I mean let's expect the unexpected like how crypto is moving Cheesy. I just hope that TerraFirma will at least get one win this conference and not break the losing streak of BlackWater.
2656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 20, 2022, 05:24:07 AM
Brooklyn Nets were blown out by the New Orleans Pelicans. 108-130
Ben Simmons 4/5/5 stats. Ergh! I am expecting more in the rebounding and assist section.
And he got fouled out playing only 23 minutes.
Overall, I don't want to judge him based on one game. Maybe he only has a bad night in his debut game after not playing for more than a year. Let's see how he will play after maybe 3-5 games but TBH, the thing that I didn't expect from him is to get fouled by playing only 23 minutes.

For me, the Pelicans are the "dark horse" team right now.
They played well last season against the Suns but fell short. Take note that it's the number 1 seed and they gave them a hard fight and that is without Zion as well. Now they got him aside from Ingram and McCollum who will help the team. This is the team to watch out I guess and the Hawks as well.
2657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 19, 2022, 03:15:49 AM
Terrafirma Dyip looks like the new Bossing BlackWater. They seem to have no intention and plans of winning and will be bashed continuously as a farm team.
Well, honestly, I like the energy of their import, Lester Prosper. The guy is very much active on social media and trying to learn more tagalog words as he tries to increase his followers.
The current losing streak of TerraFirma is 25 and the longest is 29 by Blackwater bossing.

The next 3 games of TerraFirma are against Bay Area, Ginebra and TNT. I'm pretty sure that they will not win against Bay Area (and many will agree with me). TNT? I don't think so as well, but they might against Ginebra who lost twice against ROS and Phoenix which are both independent teams but if they lose, the streak will continue, and it will be 28 after that.

After that, it will be NorthPort, NLEX, SMB and their final game is against Phoenix. TBH, it's hard to imagine which team where TerraFirma has a chance to win after how they are playing this conference. Yes, Prosper is a legit import but the problem is the local players. There is lack of support coming from them even though Prosper is getting at least 20-20 per game. I agree with you that it's good to see a foreigner like him trying to learn Tagalog words and supporting other players like Kai Sotto. I might watch his video if he will try to eat some exotic PH foods like "balut" for example Cheesy.

76ers/Warriors for the bettors. Smiley
If you bet on the 76ers, you lose because the Celtics won by 9 points.
Tatum and Brown scored both 35 points while the trio of Harden, Embiid and Maxey scored 35, 26 and 21 respectively.

I did a quick look on the NBA website, and I saw that all of 76er's starters played at least 33 minutes. I don't know if it's just me, but Coach Doc didn't utilize those bench players that much in this game. Joe Mazulla now got his first win as a head coach and it's a good start for them.

Still waiting for GSW-Lakers. I just hope that Westbrook will not get any bash after this game Cheesy.

Next project to kill Chainlink and IC for ecample is ModeFi. And you can make x1000.

I wanted to read the whole thread that you've created but when I saw the name of the project and the OP who did this thread. I didn't continue reading it.
After all, you are just spitting some words but the whole point of this thread is to promote that project ModeFi. X1000? It might be and it might be not.

To answer your question, those investors who bought Bitcoin in 2018 and sold at near its peak can be considered millionaires right now depending on how much they've invested. Those who bought Ethereum are now millionaires depending on the money they've invested. Point is, it all depends on different factors but saying that is irrelevant and a complete mistake. I'm only buying coins at the top 50 right now and sure it will take longer time to profit but it's safer compared to investing into a new project that yes it can give you X100 or X1000, but at the same time can make your money *poof* in an instant.

Kamusta na yung mga player dito ng axie may nag lalaro paba at paldo padin ba kitaan or just stress to play nalang nangyayari because with the market crash?. If profitable padin ba sya laruin guys kasi dati oo eh ngayon nag benta nako ng mga axie ko and i dont know if still ideal padin ba mag laro ng axie pero if oo naman anyone can suggest the new meta of the game?.
Profits wise, hindi malaki ang kitaan compare sa gagastusin mo para sa mga runes and charms pero kapag swerte ka sa crafting, pwede ka pa ring kumita. Compare naman sa V2, mas stressful pa rin ung V2 para sa akin dahil sa mga Critical Strikes na yan Cheesy. Regarding sa paglalaro, base sa napanood kong video sa Facebook, nasa around 700K+ pa rin ang naglalaro.

Nakapaglaro ako ng Season 0 pero di ako nasa top 1000 at hindi ganun kalaki ung nakuha kong AXS compare sa nagastos ko sa runes and charms pero overall, may profit pa rin di nga lang ganun kalaki. Ngayon sa tanong na kung profitable pa rin ba or hindi, yes if mataas ang ranks mo sa leaderboards after ng season. Para sa akin, parang more on Pay2Win na ung laro pero ang kaibahan lang sa mga traditional games ngayon na Pay2Win ay meron kang reward in the form of AXS.

Ideal pa rin maglaro ng Axie ngayon para sa akin pero kung maglalaro ka lang for fun, unless gusto mo ung gameplay walang problema pero mas maraming pang games jan na mas enjoyable kaysa sa axie.
