I am seriously wondering the salaries of Heat players and how the management let their team be so limited? I respect their success so far but it is clearly not enough. I think, except the Dallas Mavericks, most limited roster was Miami's. Jimmy Butler is amazing and he did everything he could, but for championship they obviously needed much more from the rest of the team. I personally like Bam Adebayo but from a a 5 year / $163,000,300 contract player, Heat should have gotten more offensively. Generally, he is not a good offensive player, he should really improve himself. I cannot but feel bad for the Heat, even though Celtics deserved it fair and square, I feel like Heat's season shouldn't end here.
You can see the salary of the Miami Heat's roster here. https://hoopshype.com/salaries/miami_heat/Duncan Robinson who has $15,650,000 this season was not even having a good playing time, I don't understand the decision of the Heat, he was good during the time Heat played the Lakers in the NBA Finals, but this playoffs, he was pretty limited only. He is a defensive liability that's why he isn't playing that much this playoffs. He played well in the Bubble yes and him and Herro are the ones who are doing the offense at that time aside from Butler but it's different now. Correct me but I think the Heat changed their way of playing to a more defensive one that's why they also added Lowry. Robinson is very awful when it comes to defense to the point that it weighs down his offensive capability. I mean yes he can shot threes and he is a three-point specialist but if he can't sink those threes, he is a liability in the court already. I will not be surprised if he will get traded to another team because he doesn't fit to the Heat's playing style. Maybe he will fit to a more offensive minded team like Warriors. |

Is buying bitcoin right now the same with buying later? I stopped buying because it looks like Bitcoin dips isn't over, imagine buying at 19k per Bitcoin, I think the whole idea of investment is when you are buying not running after the best coins in the market, buying them cheap is better or I don't get it?.
This is the reason why dollar-cost averaging is one of the best, if not the best strategy in buying Bitcoin. We don't know if Bitcoin will go down or up right? Don't just buy Bitcoin all at once but buy in portions. You can buy weekly or bi-weekly or anytime you want but don't buy at once since you've already said that it might dip down more. It's proven that it is working already and it lessens your risk as well. |

i think all depends of how well the Golden State "splash brothers" shots from 3 points.
Splash Brothers are long gone already because they are called now as "Lethal Weapon 3"  . At least let's add Poole into them because we already saw how good he is offensively. I am not a fan of golden state warriors but they have been getting past the playoff teams quite easily the only tough one was against the grizzlies which ended 4 2 in their favor i think they will be the champions they deserve it.
I'm a Warrior fan but underestimating the Celtics is wrong. Let's take note that the Celtics are one of the best if not the best defensive team right now and their 5 starters are even voted for defensive players of the year so I'm curious on how the Warriors will take the peskiness of the Celtics. This will be their toughest series for sure and if there is one advantage that the Warriors have against the Celtics, it's the experience in the NBA Finals since no one in the Celtics experienced it until now. |

Is this a possible way to entice customers who do not like to pay with crypto, Will offering discounts for goods when a customer pays with crypto or free gifts encourage and entice more customers to use their crypto for payment of goods? If I offer discounts which will encourage more of my customers to get crypto, how can I possibly sustain it for long to ensure that i don't run at a loss?
Giving discounts will be a good thing but if you will be at a loss by doing that then better not to do it. Another thing is that even you will give discounts to your customers, there is no assurance that they will really pay you in crypto though giving discounts isn't a bad idea as well. As for me, giving discounts are not for long term especially when it comes to crypto because you might end up losing because of how crypto moves. Just let them buy using crypto for one time would be the best I guess and just let them use their crypto to buy at your store. |

Did Terra Luna solve all issues causing what made Terra Luna crash?
Nope and their solution is to just create a new blockchain . And why could it not be changed for Terra Luna's original chain, why a new chain?
New chain is their solution to the problem that the Old Luna faced. Like nothing happened right? They still have the balls to create a new blockchain after scamming investors over 45 Billion . Ohhh well, they have a large community called "Lunatics" which will help them that is why they still have the courage to create new blockchain. A quick google search on lunatic and it says "a mentally ill person". Well, it looks like it fits well with the community since the investors who are still supporting this project are mentally ill or in short "blind on what's happening". Questions!
Until not reviewed by a large community of coders I would not buy a single Terra Luna Coin again because Terra Luna can be attacked any time again.
~
Seems to be a cash grab from Do Kwon because he emitted a new coin and Terra Luna 1.0 and 2.0 will very likely end as failed coins.
You should not to. Or you can if you are just finding for short profits. Just don't hold the coin for long run. As for me, f*ck Do Kwon. I will not give my hard-earned money to him. I will not be surprised if this project will fail again after what happened with the old Terra Luna. |

the mecha infinity is still in the process and development. YES, mecha infinity has similarities sa ibang games lalo na sa axle infinity, but mecha infinity is not yet been released to judge what would be the outcome if you are following all social media and been active on our discord, you will know the benefits of the game in the future like the P2C ( PLAY TO CHARITY ) only mecha infinity has these features na kung saan you can play and help other people as well.
Nasabi namin na may mga similarities ang Axie Infinity at Mecha Infinity since yun naman talaga ang totoo. Same features sila both. Ngayon sinabi mong hindi pa nirerelease ang laro kaya marami dito ang naghihintay kung anong pinagkaiba ng Mecha Infinity sa mga ibang NFT games. Gaya ng sinabi ko sa una, curious ako kung paano nyo mababalanse ung sinabi niyo  . P2C? Bagong concept yes pero tanong ko lang, if maglalaro ako for example ng Axie Infinity at nagdecide ako na i-donate ko ung SLP na naipon ko sa charity, di ba magkaparehas lang din un since "I played to donate my earnings to the charity?" Maghihintay kami ng iba pang benefits sa laro ninyo (if meron man). Titignan ng mga investors kung anong pinagkaiba ng laro nyo sa mga lumalabas na NFT games ngayon. |

~ A great game by Jimmy Butler, but he was one shot away from being a hero at the end when he missed that three.
Until now, I don't know why Butler took a three instead of taking a two and put it into overtime. It's a clear path to him and it's just him and Horford and no defenders in the paint. He wants to be a hero to the team but it didn't went the way he wants to and now it cost them their trip to NBA Finals. I don't think being the hero was even on his mind when he decided to go for it. He probably wanted to finish it with the three because he knows he's too tired to let the game go to overtime and he is short on support. Unfortunately, he didn't take more time to set his feet before taking that shot. Still mad respect to him though. If that's the case then I'll agree with you and you are right that he is short on support. Herro which is a big help for them offensively is injured and now they are having a hard time having a second scorer that will help Butler offensively. Respect to him though. This isn't the last time that he played like this. Just remember how he played against the Lakers in the Bubble where he carried the whole team to the point that he can't do it anymore and now he did it again even though he had an injury. Huge respect for Butler and I hope that the Heat will not trade him because he is a big piece to the team. Good game for them. I think Golden State Warriors would be the champions this season regardless or whether it's the Heat or Celtics they play in the finals. Warriors in 5, would be my prediction.
Right now, I think they are the favorites to win the title this season. I'm a Warrior fan that is why I'll pick the Warriors in 6 games. One road win might change everything . |

Great game 7 between the Celtics and Heat. I was a little worried at the end there but the Celtics came through. A great game by Jimmy Butler, but he was one shot away from being a hero at the end when he missed that three. Still, the Heat had a great season they can be proud of. Now we’re set for the Finals between the Warriors and the Celtics.
Until now, I don't know why Butler took a three instead of taking a two and put it into overtime. It's a clear path to him and it's just him and Horford and no defenders in the paint. He wants to be a hero to the team but it didn't went the way he wants to and now it cost them their trip to NBA Finals. Herro didn't play in the 2nd half as well so they lack offensive power and you can see that Butler is tired already. Played the whole game and you can feel the fatigue in him already. Looks like my early prediction to which teams will play in NBA Finals happened . I've always been saying Warriors Vs. Celtics in the NBA Finals and it happened. Now this will be a battle of the best defensive team Vs. best offensive team. Who's your pick with this one? For me, I will go in Warriors in 6 . |

Yeah, and just like what I said, it's going to end in six rounds. Romero was really nothing as compare to Tank, he just talks too much, and we all know what happens to those trash talker when they lost, they can't accept it.
He's winning the round until that huge counterpunch it may look premature but the ref doesn't care about the time he looked into Rolly's eyes and he can see that another one big punch and his career will be ruined, Ref stoppage is correct they know better than all of us, that deserves Romero good now he will become the next internet meme after Josue Vargas, who is very boastful and very disrespectful and claims to be the most explosive boxer in the history of boxing. Watching the replay of the fight, in the beginning I thought that the ref stoppage is wrong, but looking at how Rolly's legs are and his eyes, and he goes down face first, which is a sign that the punch was really on the target. And just imagine if that punch is 100% power, Rolly wouldn't get up. Davis said that he didn't have that power in that counter left hook Rolly just ran into it, and the way he throw it is awkward. And one judges had Romero ahead by one point, while the two give it to Davis, 49-46 and 48-47. Have watched the post-fight interview of Rolly and to my surprise, he is in the denial stage and claimed he won every moment of the rounds and expose Tank, he did not admit or give respect to Tank for that set up punch, Romero is to arrogant hew needs another whip in his ass. He has become the new internet meme and laughing stock just check up this video and see for yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsYVxZZiynE I saw this on Youtube hours before I see your post here and looks like Romero is still dreaming on that interview. Draw?? Like WTF!! Well, he can't accept the fact that he lost for the first time that is why he act like that. He is in denial phase and looks like hallucinating and can't accept his defeat and now he is a meme in the internet now and being laughed by many people online. Tank said in the interview that Romero doesn't deserve a rematch while Romero wants it. There might be a chance that there might be a rematch between these 2. Tank really is that fast and strong but I thought that he got injured for a sec while watching it. Overall, that left hook was brutal that Romero was shocked. Congrats to Tank and I'm waiting for his next opponent. Garcia? Or Romero again? Any other. |

What are your goals when investing in new coins? Did you get a huge profit from the new coins? Can you recommend a new coin worth investing besides LUNA?
Big no-no for me. I'm not investing in new projects or new coins because they are more risky than those top market cap coins. I only have a limited budget to invest that is why I'm a bit conservative and focusing more on low risk, low reward coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB etc. Since I'm not investing into new coins, I'm not getting huge profits either, but I've already seen many people gaining huge profits from investing into new projects. It's a high risk but high reward strategy as well. LUNA?? Just stay away from that shitcoin. As of this moment, the coin went down from near $20 to now near $5 and expect that it will go lower until it will become a worthless shitcoin. Like I said, what happened to the old LUNA will not be forgotten by just creating a new blockchain or new coin whatsoever. Do Kwon's reputation has been affected by what happened, therefore the trust of the investors to him is already gone. |

This downtrend has been detrimental to my health (mental health). Exactly %70 just now. No lunch money type of money either.
Have we ever experienced this kind of downtrend before?? What's the latest on how long this might last, or if it's even going to recover.
I've seen Bitcoin went down more than 80% last 2018 and for sure, there are some investors who experienced way more losses than you have right now. Same situation here. Your impermanent loss is 70%, and it will not be permanent unless you will sell it. Right now there are investors who are experiencing the same as you right now or even a higher impermanent loss. In 2018, that downtrend took almost a year before we see some daylight. Now I don't know how long this will happen and there is a chance that it last until the end of the year. The best thing to do right now if you are down 70% is to just stay calm, accumulate more and be patient. Many of us are down as well. Even CZ and Vitalik are down in their portfolio as well. It will recover soon. Just be patient . |

Happy Pizza Day to everyone here in the forum . We created a simple pizza, but all the participants here made a circle shaped pizza which is the most common, so we created a rectangular shaped one though it's a small one . It's my first time to make a homemade pizza so.... yeah and of course it's delicious  . |

How many projects will rug pull in 2022?
We are near halfway of the year already and there are many new projects that are doing rug pull. The latest one is DecentraWorld, an NFT game where the developers rug pulled the investors leaving to them a worthless token. How many more? There will be many in the future. I can't give an exact number obviously but if you want to avoid getting rug pulled, focus on investing in the more trust worthy tokens. Focus investing in the top tokens. 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.
Invincible CEO? I don't know what does that mean. Anonymous team you mean? Whatever that means, Luna CEO is bullshit. He scammed many investors and he just created a new blockchain like nothing happened. Raise voice on Luna CEO? How? He is an arrogant CEO who scammed many people just because many investors exposed the weakness of his old project. |

I'm not sure if this will be another bounce or will be another big flop, although I haven't had many losses with the original Luna or UST, but I almost see a bad play the project has made. The new airdrop will probably create new waves for themselves and the FOMO on the new Luna will happen again if you don't want to bet on them. It's not necessary. Of course, there will be thoughts like risk Big comes with big risks, but it's practical when this space still has many other things worth paying attention to.
It's hard to predict whether this new project of Do Kwon will be successful or not but as far as I know, Terra has a huge community that they called themselves as "Lunatics" and there will be some who will support the project whatever happens. Still, I feel sorry for those people who lost huge amounts of money by investing into Terra coin. What happened to the project is a proof that it might happen again with their new project or blockchain whatever. I will not touch this project still whether they created a new blockchain. There are many projects who are a better investment than this project and it's less risky than Terra. The damage has been done and Do Kwon's reputation has been damaged and it will affect the whole project IMO. Invest at your own risk in this new Terra because with what happened, it's hard to trust Do Kwon knowing that it might happen again with their new project. |

🧨Crypto took a hard hit early May. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, fell to around $29000 from its all time high of of almost $70000. Other cryptocurrencies fell too and people started to wonder whether this fall would be permanent, but will crypto rise again?
Whether it is stock market or precious metals or even crypto, there is no permanent movement. Assets always tend to go up and down for various reasons. Crypto will rise again? Yes it will. Markets tend to go down and up and it's the same with crypto. 🚀Right now, the bull market rages on. Cryptocurrencies are still experiencing ups and downs while remaining largely around the same price they’d reached after the collapse. However, sentiments on the market are largely positive, with many experts and investors optimistic that major cryptocurrencies will reach new highs just not very soon.
Sentiments of the market largely positive? Are you f*cking serious bruh? If you will see the fear and greed index right now, it is at 13 meaning investors are in extreme fear and worried to invest. Experts and investors being optimistic? Yeah yeah its pretty obvious that if there are some pessimistic ones, there are some optimistic ones as well. I disagree though with what you said that right now, the bull market rages on. It's pretty obvious that we are in a bear market and many are saying that we are already. U.S stock market going down, war going on, interest rates going up, quantitative tightening upcoming, inflation. The current events are against the market which is why it goes down and that includes crypto. We aren't in a bull market anymore right now but the opposite. |

Awesome win by the Miami Heat 111-103. They surely wrecked the majority of the bettors, especially on the handicap.
This surprised me too and even think that the Celtics will now close the series. We can see that it's only Jimmy Butler who saves the day. There's really no problem with him regarding consistency but the team will go nowhere if they will just rely on Butler although a great hassle plays courtesy of his teammates during the last minutes. That was an exhausting game for Butler but good thing they have won.
Sudden-death next game at the FTX Arena, home of the Miami Heat. We will now see who will enter the NBA Finals to face the Golden State Warriors.
When many fans and analysts are doubting about them, when they thought that this will be the last game in the Eastern Conference Finals already, when many thought that Butler can't carry the team anymore, he said to us "I will not let my team go down and we will win this game and will force a Game 7 on our home". After that last 2 games, I thought that it is over for the Heat already but I'm wrong. Butler stepped up again and scored a career playoff-high 47 point almost triple double. Lowry and Strus helped Butler as well scoring 18 points and 13 points respectively even though they got fouled out. That last call by the referee was very crucial if you watched the final minutes of the game. If only the referees called blocking foul on Oladipo, there might be a chance for the Celtics to win it but they called an offensive foul on Brown which is I think the correct call. Overall, good game for both teams and now we will see a do-or-die game on Miami's homecourt. So what's going to be the bet in game 7? home team or road team?
I'll stick with my prediction. Warriors Vs. Celtics in the NBA Finals . |

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. Yes I am but not in huge chunks. What's important for me is that I accumulate as much crypto coins as I want now that we are in a bear market so that I can just wait for another bull market and then sell it. Cryptocurrencies for the long term? Bitcoin and Ethereum. There are so many long term altcoins to choose there yes but for me, these 2 coins are the ones that is the best to hold for long term. We've seen it already that even though we are in a bear market, they still at the top meaning many are still investing in these 2 coins. Buying these 2 coins now that we are in a bear market is the safest option for me if you want to accumulate coins. I'm buying as much Bitcoin as I want. I want to buy some ETH too if I have some spare money. |

Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors for winning the western conference finals. They really are a great team. Even this early I think it is safe to assume that they have a great chance to be the NBA champion. Special recognition should be give to Klay, Wiggins, and Green for stepping up and taking over the game when their star Steph Curry is being strongly defended, at least in this game. Looney is also contributing a lot to the team's effort with his strong rebounds.
Looney is just a beast inside the paint. Double double again tonight and lets remember the game where he got 22 rebounds, 11 of them are offensive rebounds against the MEM. Well, it's a bit expected I think that they will win in this game because we knew already what will happen when the Warriors lead 3-0. Maybe they gave Game 4 because they don't want to celebrate on the road team that's why they lost on Game 4 and win in Game 5 . JK The Warriors are in the NBA Finals again and it's their 6th time in the last 8 years that will go to NBA Finals. The 2 years? They spent tanking to get some good picks for their future like Wiseman, Kuminga and Moody. I'm a Warrior fan since and if this roster will still be same, I think they can still win 2 championships at most . Congratulations to the Warriors for advancing. 4 wins more to get the title and for the Mavericks, good game to them still as nobody expected as well that they will defeat the Suns but they did it. |

Mavericks finally won a game in this series. I was even waiting to see them winning the third game but they failed. They have a very difficult work to do now even though they won the fourth game. Because Warriors are already 3-1 ahead in the series and all of the remaining games are like a series point for them. Doncic had a solid game too by the way. He had 30 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists. He just continues to take the most of the responsibility for his team as always. But it looks like this is the end of the road for Mavericks.
The closest first win should they have is back on Game 2 where they blew their 19-point lead. In Game 4, they also did the same as they blew again their 29- points lead entering the 4th quarter downed to 8 points. With that performance, Mavericks' rally might end up in Game 5. It's a great experience for the young Mavericks to face the championship lineup of the Warriors to give them a good reference for their career. Warriors' young players too are doing their best. It's hard to believe that the Warriors will lose 4 games in a row. It's technically possible but the chances are low to happen obviously. I do have a bet on Mavericks to win the series but I already concede with my bet. Yes, I'm not seeing the Warriors losing 4 straight unless something bad happen to their players. So it's game 5, to be held on Warriors home court, so I guess they will have to finished it and have a good rest and then wait for their opponent for the finals. Luka though proved that he can carry a team in the playoffs and he is not a choker and I would say trash talker.  . Opening line for the Warriors for those who are interested, -6.5. The chances of this "something bad happen to their players" to happen? Low to no chance and as long as their all-star players will play, they will still have a high chance to win. Like what you said, I don't see them also losing 4 straight games in the playoffs, or they will be the ones that will break the record, which sound very disappointing and humiliating to them. If that happens, I don't know what will the Warriors' management do to the whole roster. Luka is proven already that he can carry his team. The only problem is that, they don't have a 2nd superstar that will help him because in order for a team to win, you must've at least 2 superstars. His trash talking skills are just normal, and it's part of the game. He is like Draymond Green . Good game to the Mavericks, but I see the Warriors ending the series in Game 5. |

But the Heat is playing better in the other 2 games so I personally withhold my prediction on which between the two teams will be reaching the NBA finals. But in the Western Conference, it seems it is becoming clearer that the Warriors are winning and will be the team to reach the NBA finals even if their game 4 which is happening right now will go to the Mavericks. It might end with a 4-1 standing in their favor.
I lose confidence in Heat after there one-sided defeat against Celtics in there recent match despite the return of Kyle Lowry. Lowry and Tucker is not performing well on game 4 and I believe this will be same scenario if they didn't step up. They are the key player to stop the momentum of Celtics since Tucker is the one who can guard Tatum tightly just like what he did in Game 1 while Lowry on the other hand can help Jimmy Butler to get some space and do an open shot by drawing the attention of the defender to his attack. Heat seems weak when Lowry return because he can't perform his role properly to carry the team. Oladipo is much better than him for starter. The game is already in the third quarter and it seems Heat is not as weak as they are in their game 4. There is no double-digit lead from the Celtics. In fact they were able to get the lead. So this is now a different game. Adebayo and Butler are now stepping up to do something big for the team. They must have known they urgently contribute something big for Miami to win. As you rightly predicted though, Lowry remains weak and couldn't help the team much. 3rd quarter is very bad for Heat. They have 16-32 and erased their early lead and shift the momentum to Celtics. They should remove Lowry on this crucial and stop experimenting with his adjustment in the crucial matches. Lowry is playing 21 minutes without an assist and points with just 1 rebound which probably the ball just landed on his position. Heat might loss there chance to be on finals if they keep playing like this because Celtics is very strong on crucial matches especially if they already got the advantage and momentum on the 2nd half. And they are still outscored in the 4th, not sure how they will recovered and it seems that the Celtics are going to take this win at their home court. Yeah, not sure why Lowry wasn't inserted early and go with Struss. Might be 4-2 next game for the Celtics here. They are good at closing crucial matches and this team are complete at both end. Only 38 points in the 2nd half, Lowry scored 0 points, Butler obviously not playing well because of his injury maybe and Herro didn't play in Game 5. Herro and Butler are their 2 best offensive players and yet and with what's happening right now, it looks like no one can step up offensively. Now things are favoring the Celtics as they got to win on the road and only 1 win away from getting into the NBA Finals, which is their first trip since 2010. A low-scoring Game 5 but Tatum and Brown scored 22 and 25 points respectively. Let's give credits also to Derrick White as well, as he is playing very good in this series. Now the Heat are having problems offensively. They don't have a primary shooter right now since Butler is injured and not playing well in their last 2 games. Do you think the Celtics will finish it on their home in Game 6 or the Heat will win in the road? |
