Naiisip ko baka manggulat ang TerraFirma pero SMB fan ako kaya SMB tau. Parehas na kulelat ang Phoenix at NorthPort at parehas ring nasa losing streak kaya gusto nilang manalo. Phoenix pa rin ako Smiley.

Based on what I have seen in the forum. There are some Post that I will see some of the boards scared me to make comment, mostly Meta. Because I only see Sr/Hero/legendary members in that board. And some of the threads I saw there are very good for me to at least make a comment but my fear is that, wether is is an offend to do so. So I want to know if I have restrictions on some of the boards to make posts and comments in the forum. And if there is please provide those boards for me so I will be properly guided.

You're kinda intimidated because of the ranks of those who are posting in Meta section and you are just a newbie rank but in reality, you don't need to be scared because all of us are free to say our opinions.

TBH, I'm a Sr. Member right now and there are times that I'm feeling the same as you are especially if I'm not that knowledgeable in that particular topic. In your case, as long as you know what you are saying then you don't need to be intimidated by these higher rank users.

Now to answer your question, there are some like Beginners & Help, Off-topic and Local section as well. Don't hesitate to share your opinion here as long as there is nothing wrong with it whether it is a negative or a positive one. Learn to accept criticisms because I myself can't accept criticisms years ago but throughout the years, I learned it and you should as well.

And when we thought that there is no trade rumor or Donovan Mitchell or at least the Jazz is not going to entertain any trade, there is a news that the Jazz wanted the following from the Knicks:

Quote
The Jazz wanted Julius Randle, Evan Fournier, Derrick Rose, RJ Barrett, Obi Toppin and 6 first-round picks for Donovan Mitchell

https://twitter.com/JohnsonWhiteNBA/status/1547224720629977088

But obviously, the Knicks decline because that's too much.

The Knicks though already got Brunson as their guard, why would they need Mitchell?
I know that Mitchell is an all-star level player or at least near to it but the Jazz asked too much players with this one. 11 players including some of their core players for Mitchell. Who in the hell will agree with that trade? For sure Stephen A. Smith will be furious if the Knicks will agree to this trade Cheesy.

Why they need Mitchell? I think they want Brunson to be a shooting guard and they want Mitchell as their starting Point Guard which I think fits for both of them but at the same time, they can just switch positions since they can be a PG or SG. If the Knicks want Mitchell, I'm curious which players will they give to the Jazz or maybe Wade will do everything just to put Mitchell on the Heat.

Winning in a lottery is once in a blue moon event but there are some questions with regards to your story.
1. How did he bought $1M worth of Bitcoin? Where did he bought it? Binance? Kraken? Kucoin? P2P? Maybe elaborate this even further if it's ok to you.
2. How did your relative cashed out the Bitcoin (or converted into fiat)? Didn't the bank feel suspicious to your transaction?

These 2 questions might help other people here like me because there might be some users here who are holding that much Bitcoin but they don't know how to cash it out without knowing the bank that it came from crypto.

First we should understand what really happen and why they are willing to let go of Ayton. Yes, he is a vital part of the offense and defense of the Suns, but it seems that Ayton doesn't have the mindset though, in the finals against the Bucks he was out hustle by Giannis and there was a critical play that he was block. And after that, the Suns didn't offer Ayton a max contract, first sign that he will not stay as Suns for long. And last season, we've seen how he got bench in Game 7 because they way Monty see it, Ayton quit on them. So it's just a matter of time before Ayton will be traded and this is the right time.
In regard to the Suns-Bucks Finals 2 seasons ago, the Suns as a whole team is inexperienced when it comes to NBA Finals and all of them are first time in NBA Finals including CP3 and I believe that affects that whole decision-making of the team. Ayton really was out hustled by Giannis at that time, and he doesn't have any substitute big at that time thus, they lost the series.

The problem with Ayton at that time is after that lost, he requested for a max contract which obviously he will not get it. It's only his first time to go to NBA Finals and his team without CP3 is at the bottom, so he doesn't deserve it, and I know many will agree. Ayton being benched in Game 7 against the Mavericks is the trigger point for Ayton to leave the team for some reasons. Well, looks like the Pacers will get him in exchange for Turner and maybe some first round picks, so I will just hope that he will be a good piece to the team.

Para sa akin kayang icover ito ng Blackwater against sa nasa babang ROS kaya Blackwater ako. Ganun din sa Ginebra. Gusto nilang mag bounce back pagkatapos ng talo nila noong linggo laban sa TNT.

Pinapahiya pa naman sila ng TNT nung Domingo.
Mukhang taga Norte ka ah boss base sa bold text kasi Domingo = Sunday dito eh Cheesy. Hula lang naman
2967  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do we spot the crypto bottom? on: July 13, 2022, 02:32:06 AM
Crypto Bottom? It's impossible to find out.
Let's take Bitcoin for example. We might predict what can be the bottom of Bitcoin, but not with 100% accuracy because nobody knows for certain what will be the bottom of Bitcoin.

Good thing about it is that, the bottom of Bitcoin is going higher every time it goes into bear market. In 2018, Bitcoin went down to as low as ~$3,000 before it went up higher. Now in 2022, we've seen Bitcoin go as low as $17,000, and we might see it go lower even more. After 4 years, we might see Bitcoin entering a bull market again with a higher ATH and after that, a bear market will happen but with a higher bottom so overall, we are seeing a higher bottom.

Just do dollar cost averaging instead of stressing yourself and spotting the bottom.

Corruption and the massive tax cuts from the taxpayers are the reason why they are suffering right now.

I wonder what will be the future of the country after their corrupt president resigns and left the country with a huge debt that even their treasury isn't enough to pay it all. I'm just hoping for the best for the country and I hope that their next leader will not continue what these corrupt officials did.
2969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 13, 2022, 01:03:10 AM
Reports today that Ayton is close to finalizing a deal to go to the Indians Pacers. If they let Ayton go in a trade that doesn’t also involve Kevin Durant going to the Suns it is going to end up being one of the worst moves Phoenix has made in a long time. It’s crazy to see an NBA franchise acting so emotionally. I imagine that whatever happened between Ayton and management was enough that they were unwilling to even offer him a contract extension.
This ain't a good move from them Suns. So much was produced by Ayton that made them reach the Finals and then the West semis last year.
I don't know what they are planning but I have an idea they are going for small ball copying strategies from the likes of the Warriors and Celtics.
CP3 is getting older, chemistry will be a better ally for them than looking for the star players and force a championship roster. What the Nets did was enough proof that it fails.

Ayton has a lot of potential and he's so young with huge potential, if Suns just maximize and develop him very well for sure we can see more dominant Ayton in hard wood. But guess they are in rush of things and want to see fast result and this will totally put them in questionable state this season. For sure they can't copy the small ball line up of Warriors because GSW roosters are built and not been traded from other teams so for sure they cannot copy the team chemistry and might struggle on this area.

Suns are destroying their defensive side if they will let Ayton, actually, he is not the problem for the Suns, it's the 2 scorers, Paul and Booker who are not clutch enough during the playoffs. Maybe it's a desperate move but this move is bad IMO.
They also traded McGee so they really are moving away from being a defensive team, and probably we might see them more as an offensive one like what the warriors are doing or what Coach D'Antoni did with the Rockets where they are focusing more on threes than twos.

Ayton's performance might've affected this season because they didn't give him a max contract at the start of the season. Now he wants to get traded, so the question is which players will the Suns get in return. They might get Turner plus first round picks, maybe. Overall, Ayton is still young, and he might develop more if he will be in the Pacers.
2970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment on: July 12, 2022, 02:56:01 AM
Well, different people have different ways of getting entertained and there are some who wants to get entertained thru gambling. Different people have different approach when it comes to gambling. Some see it as an entertainment, some see it as a way for them to make money and some sees gambling as a way to socialize with other people. Though it's a bit expensive if you will ask me, it's their money and life and as long as they are enjoying while gambling then it's ok. As for me, I can be entertained just by playing online games while listening to some background music.

The problem with the gamblers is that there are some of them who wants to gamble because of money and not for entertainment. There are some gamblers who still chooses to gamble even though their chances of winning is very low to close to zero.
2971  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reason why I won't be buying top altcoins in this bear market on: July 12, 2022, 02:21:39 AM
1. Many altcoins will never reach their all time high again.
This is true and I've seen many coins at the top 10 a few years ago that aren't in the top 10 or even in the top 50 anymore. There are some top 50 coins in the past also and some of them aren't even in the top 100 anymore. I still can't forget EOS since I'm a big fan of it. I'm lucky that I didn't bought some when it is at it's peak at around 20$ back in 2017-2018 because even though we had this bull market, it didn't reach that price anymore.

2. Don't be fooled by altcoin ranks on coinmarketcap because many won't stay in top 20 anymore after we go deep into this bear market.
Almost the same as the first one.

3. History have proven that many altcoins will be replaced by new ones and that's where huge investors will be making most of their gains in next bull market.
Uniswap, Polygon, Solana, Polkadot, Binance Coin.
These are only few of the top coins right now that aren't in the top a few years ago. We don't know what coins will emerge in the future. We might see bottom coins right now that will go on top and vice versa. We will see projects that will came out of nowhere and will be on the top like Polkadot. It's unpredictable and that's what's good with crypto market Cheesy.
2972  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: don't be fooled by titles. on: July 12, 2022, 01:42:05 AM
I think one of the important things that every investors must put in their minds is "Legitimate projects will not contact you thru DM. Only scammers are".
I mean scammers can fool those newbie and ignorant investors just by putting a title in their name. CEO, MD or anything is just a title and scammers all the time are the ones who are contacting investors thru DM. That is why I'm not entertaining any DM's whether it is from Telegram or Discord because I know that real title holders or legitimate projects will not contact you thru DM.

Just out of curiosity, is there anybody here who received a DM from a random people regarding a particular project and that project became a successful one? Successful I mean it raised money and still developing until now and has a community on it.
2973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 12, 2022, 01:27:51 AM
It looks like Ja Morant went overboard with his statement, hehehe

Ja Morant says he'd beat Michael Jordan in his era

Well I guess who have been following basketball for years and see Michael Jordan plays will not agree with Morant here.

He needs to get a ring, not just 1 or 2 or 3, he need to get 7, be a two way player, MVP's and beat everyone in his generation. So far he has none of that.
I don't know but it seems that there is nothing negative to me with what he said.
All NBA players and fans already know that MJ is the GOAT and no one will argue with that. Maybe Ja is saying it with respect and he has this "I'll be a better player" mindset where he uses MJ as his basis meaning he will develop even more skills.

Well, Morant is still young and he is doing some spectacular things already in the league and some sees him as the future face of the NBA aside from Luka and Trae. I like his mindset TBH but his first step to be closer to MJ is to get a title and an MVP as well.
2974  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: AstroElon (ELONONE) on: July 11, 2022, 06:46:55 AM
Visited the website and as I saw the picture of Elon Musk, I immediately closed it.
I don't know but why are these developers always associating Elon Musk with their project? Because they are expecting that if they will include Elon Musk to their project, it will be a successful one? Because they believe that just adding Musk to their project will attract other investors?

As to the project, it's early to say that it is a scam because a project will not turn into a scam until it turns out to be one but we've seen many shitcoins and meme coins with the name "Elon" or "Musk" on it so there is a high chance that this might be one as well. As for the investors, be vigilant as always and don't invest into new projects just because you've seen name or picture of Elon Musk on it.
2975  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Question for Legendary Members on: July 11, 2022, 06:11:22 AM
I'm just curious when did you start learning crypto?

Seeing posts from legendary members make me wonder how long they've been into crypto. I mean did they already knew much about crypto before their account was created here. You'll see on their posts that they have really deep knowledge about how cryptocurrencies and blockchain works. It just amazes me seeing their posts that it's like they have a decade of knowledge compared to what I know when I started to learn crypto in 2016.
Legendary rank is just a rank and for me, I don't think you can use it as a basis on how expert a user is. Getting Legendary rank years ago is very easy compare to now where there is already a merit system.

There are some legendary members out there who are really expert on the technical aspect of Bitcoin and crypto but at the same time, there are some non-legendary members who are also expert on Bitcoin. There are some legendary members who only knows the basics of crypto and at the same time, there are some lower who only knows the basics of crypto (like me). Being knowledgeable in crypto isn't base on ranks IMO.

P.S. Not a legendary members here but I started learning crypto in 2017. I'm not good in technical aspect of Bitcoin (hope I am) but as long as I know the basics and I'm not falling to scam then maybe it's all good for me Smiley.
2976  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bear markets are for building on: July 11, 2022, 06:01:30 AM
Bear market is for building but we can consider bull market as for building as well because you can still make money whether it is a bull or bear market. It will only depends on your strategies and skills.

Bear markets alone though are for building that's why huge institutions and those intelligent investors are accumulating cryptocurrencies as many as they can because like they are always saying "Wealth are created during the bear market". Build a portfolio, buy some assets now that most of them are down especially cryptocurrencies and be patient to wait for the bull market.
2977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 11, 2022, 04:08:25 AM
Wiseman looking good for the Warriors in summer league. He’s blocking shots, catching alley oops and creating and draining his own 3’s. He’s looking like he may fill a need for the Warriors next year if he can stay healthy. Scary that they won it all without their best prospect. They might be an even better team next year.

And they still have Kuminga and Moody, bright prospect as they have the experience from last year's champion ship run. And then Wiseman being healthy, and their steal drafts with so much potential, young team plus their core, yeah, could be a more dangerous GSW team and the league should take notice of this. And even though they have lost so much of their second unit specially Payton Jr, someone will have to fill it up with this young guys at their 20's, and it's scary.
We've seen how the Warriors management develop their players and if these 3 will develop more in the future and will be an all-star then we will see a next generation "Big three" of the Warriors.

Wiseman has potential but his injuries hinders him to unleash his full potential on the court. I just hope that he will be more healthy next season so he can contribute to the team. Kuminga is an athletic player and many believe that he has a bright future with the Warriors and it's the same with Moody. Overall, the future of the Warriors is bright and we might include Poole and Wiggins in the conversation if they will not be traded.

2979  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How I Almost Gave Scammers Access To My wallet This Morning. on: July 09, 2022, 10:26:35 AM
ADVICE
Like i said earlier, in crypto, your security is in your hands, always pay 100 percent attention before you take actions, never be too in a hurry to do some research before joining any Airdrop or crowdsale.
The scammers will put something in place that will make you feel time is running out and you have to join immediately if you don't want to miss out, don't pay attention to this, for this is a strategy they use to force you to fomo in without doing some research first, Always pay attention before taking action.
I don't know if it is only me, but Telegram is the place where scammers are swarming. Telegram aside from Discord are the 2 most used platforms by scammers, that's why I'm not entertaining any DM that they are sending to me whether it is from Telegram or Discord.

If you feel that you are running out of time then the scammers have full control of your emotion and as an investor, it shouldn't happen. Scammers always use your emotions just to scam you. They will put you to a point where you need to do it immediately or else, you will not get any free token and you as an investor will think "Ohh it's free token and free token = free money blah blah".

I hope newbie investors here will learn from this thread. My advice aside from your advice is to just avoid Telegram or just avoid DM's in general, especially from a random user because project owners will never contact you first through DM.
2980  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 09, 2022, 02:25:20 AM
It's actually fun and always basketball pages and news articles are all over him. But there's no team that wants to take the deal for him. I don't know if it's a meme already that they're posting but certainly, it's really fun to watch. The most recent post that I've read is what you've mentioned about Phoenix.
They should really just give it and the Nets are really eager for his request since it's like that he's just brought mess to the team with entire stay.

When Kevin Durant ask to be traded, his preferred destination was the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat.

Either of those teams doesn't show any interest yet but even if they like to sign Durant, will the Brooklyn Nets will be satisfied with the trade offer?

Brooklyn Nets gambled for Kevin Durant hardly and if the time comes that they will trade him, they will surely like to get a good trade offer in return and not just in exchange for role players and future draft picks.

It will be a loss for the Suns and Heat to give up their several key players just to get Kevin Durant.
His preferred teams are the Heat and the Suns but like you said, either one of them are showing interest in getting him.
I don't think that either of these 2 teams are willing to trade their all-star players just to get Kevin Durant. They are younger and talented as well. Either of these 2 can't trade at least 2 of their all-star player just to get KD.

Yes it is KD and we know how good he is and he might be a future HOF but he is 34 years old already. He might dominate the league more for at least 2 seasons before leaving his prime compare to the key players of both Heat and Suns who is obviously younger than him. Right now, the Nets are having a hard time getting a good package deal for KD to the point that even the Wolves rejected their offer. Many are waiting on where KD will land or if he will be traded and we aren't speaking about Kyrie Irving Cheesy. Is there any news regarding Kyrie or are the Lakers really pursuing him?
