I think this might be a sweep honestly aswell. Goldenstate is much better in every possible way and i think Luka Doncic cant play alone in this series against them. Hopefully they can win at least at home to try and make things intresting against the Warriors

What is going on in the crypto market? The stable coins are no longer stable. The market is still in a bearish zone, but when things return to normal, and we'll see the bulls?

I'm disregarding any analysis for now and won't be in my usual bettor mode.

I will just place my bet on the Dallas Mavericks regardless of the odds because I want to.

In the whole playoffs series, the Dallas Mavericks never won a Game 1 yet. I like them being an underdog for an odds boost. They might lose on this Game 1 but my bet is still for them. I'm really biased at Dallas Mavericks since then.

Just finished watching this and also checked different mock drafts.
Chet in the favorites as 1st pick but I think Orlando Magic's missing piece is a great shooter and Jabari Smith might fit that hole. Then, I doubt OKC Thunder will pass on an opportunity to get Chet Holmgren. I think he will be a good pair for Shai.
3rd pick for the Rockets which I think will be a difficult decision. Ivey or Banchero. I am guessing it will be Banchero to add more height because they have lots of smalls already.

Does anyone have good info on the new proposed LUNA vs. classic LUNA?

Whatever quantity you bought before the crash, when the total # of coins in circulation was 764M should be converted to New LUNA, 1 to 1.

Whatever you bought after the crash, when they started diluting the hell out of it by adding 6.7T more coins should be converted to Classic LUNA, 1 to 1.

Any thoughts?

I don't know that tonight is the lottery night?

New York Knicks ended up in the 11th spot this season in the Eastern Conference so I think it can be expected that at least they can get the draft rights for the top 6-10 or much better in the First Round. But if they did some trade before involving trading this off-season their future picks, maybe don't expect good.

Are they cleaned from any trade in the 1st round draft pick? What I mean is, that they will get the rights of their pick with no prior trade arranged during the current season? Damn, am I explaining it right? haha.

After leaving incredible matchups behind in the conference semi-finals, we see these ones in the current stage:

Miami Heat - Boston Celtics
Golden State Warriors - Dallas Mavericks

I believe each one of them is going to be hell of a series. For the first one, I'm favouring Celtics to advance the NBA finals. After seeing how they believed and performed against Bucks, I also started to believe they can at least make it to the finals. And for the latter, I don't have any favourite for now. But if Mavericks play like this again then Warriors had better be ready for a huge challenge.

We've been told to buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high. This is pretty much the thumb rule in trading.

But that is not without conditions. It isn't absolute. It doesn't always guarantee profit.

Let us not forget the RISK. And risk correlates with volatility. High volatility means high risk. And since the crypto market is a volatile market, the risk is higher here than in the stock or FX market.

So, the "buy=low, sell=high" strategy only works when you successfully manage the risk.

You can do that by:

1. Investing less than 5% of your total portfolio in crypto
2. Prioritizing other aspects of your finances ahead of investing in crypto
       - emergency fund
       - retirement savings
       - high-interest debt payment

In other words, invest only what you can afford to lose.

To sum it up--"Buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high, BUT invest only what you can afford to lose."

It may not guarantee a profit but it can help cut down loss when the bear attacks.

There are so many questions that I come across about Terra Luna. starting from whether to rise again? will it return to $1 ?
and I also can not respond because of my limited knowledge about this.
maybe here friends can explain a little about the possibilities that can happen to this Terra Luna coin.
I will appreciate any of your opinions. because good conclusions can not be drawn if only done alone. it requires collecting data from multiple sources and many people.

I want miners opinion about PoW altcoins and non PoW altcoins, do you think that Proof of work projects are more reliable than other projects that people raised money for? Which is more likely to fail than the other? It seems IEO and ICO projects die faster than mineable coins, the only PoW coins that failed are bad from the beginning (shitcoins) what do you say.

Surprised me too. I didn't expect the Mavs to be in the Conference Finals or maybe even the Finals if they can defeat the Warriors.
I am happy they took care of the Jazz because that team really sucked in the playoffs just like last year. But defeating the Phoenix Suns? That's some feat they showed there and I bet they are all full of confidence now which is good.
It will be a difficult road though from hereon as they will be up against an experienced team who made it to the Finals many times and they are hungry again.

The Warriors may become the champion again.

Major cryptocurrencies have been on a downfall this past week, as investors lost confidence on Terra (LUNA). Bitcoin, as well as, Ethereum, Cardano, and several other "blue chip" coins are being traded at a discount these days. This could be a huge buying opportunity before prices bounce back to their original levels. If Bitcoin is predicted to reach $100k, then imagine how altcoins will rise in price. Buying the dip might be the best thing you could do right now. If you're into crypto for the long haul, you'll know what I'm talking about.

That said, I'm curious to know if you're buying the dip? If so, I'd like to know which cryptocurrencies do you think are worth the investment for the long term and why? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Bucks were able to give a good fight on the Celtics despite missing Middleton, so even if they lose, it's not really that bad because they tried their best to be in the conference finals.  Giannis is the best player of the Bucks, but no enough support from his teammates, against the Celtics team where everyone makes a great contribution.
