Correct. Without Embiid they are lacking in offense and Tobias Harris is inconsistent so they cannot let him shoulder their offense. Their bench is not that strong, they have Buddy Hield now but that guy also played inconsistent offense in the Pacers which could be the reason why he was traded.

Whoever they add, they will struggle because the system rotates mostly on Embiid. Now he is missing due to injury, so it's expected that they will struggle. I guess that's just the fate of the Sixers now, so this early, I would say better luck next season.

No confirmation yet as to whether Embiid will come back or not, but most likely he won't make it since he'll have to undergo surgery, and it will take time to recover. Also, they will not risk him to keep his value because if they are not happy with him anymore, they can trade him.
322  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum price approaches $3k on: February 25, 2024, 09:59:21 PM
I'm not taking this seriously as the pump happens because of its ETF approval but it is due to the price of Bitcoin pumping which I see was the main reason.
In fact, the price of ETH is already $3,104 during this post https://coinmarketcap.com/ and it is believed that it will increase more as the bull season starts. Even without the ETF approval, it still pumps.

This just tells us that ETH is still the king of altcoins. We can't ignore its profit potential and those who bought last year and hold until now are certainly on the profit. That is a big difference from buying known coins where profit is certain and we know it will grow, unlike new projects where we can't feel confidence about it.
323  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What traders must know on: February 25, 2024, 12:37:47 PM
Trading has a lot of strategy to succeed and different majors, all what a newly trader need to know is learning the basics terms of trade and follow those steps. All what you mentioned are part of the majors and the common one is patience, without exhibiting patience when trading you might end up quitting so early. I believe every successful trader today sacrificed a lot so newly traders should always have this mindset of learning.

I don't really agree with this. Trading ain't no walk in the park, that's for sure.  It takes some serious patience and grit to make it in this game.  Sure, you gotta learn the basics and follow the steps, but it ain't as easy as just dodging some horns in a rodeo.  Cutting through the noise and hype new traders need a good dose of reality before jumping in and  i mean, you can read all the books and watch all the YouTube gurus, but that dont make you wise.  You gotta take it slow, start small and think long-term if you wanna stand a chance.  Respect the beast, control your emotions, and keep expectations real - that's my advice to any greenhorn looking to saddle up on Wall Street.  Ain't nothing easy about it, but with some wisdom and patience you just might make it out the other side.

Because it was a different situation in actual than those tutorial videos we see and books we read. Perhaps, we have seen some traders become successful but these people can't make someone become like them because of some differences --decision-making, market analysis, and individual behavior. Knowing the basics is just a stepping stone of knowing more about trading and about the market. And it only just means that it was not enough to be on top and reach our goal. What we have to do is to grind more, spend more in knowing the market, find effective strategies and the last one is having self-confidence. Doing this won't be done in weeks, it can be several months of experience or even years. Yes, it needs patience...
324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who's winning more casinos or gamblers? on: February 23, 2024, 07:58:48 PM

So the casino remains the biggest beneficiary, right?
You don't need to ask because it is obvious that casinos earn and gain more benefits than us gamblers. That is why they exist and continue doing their business which simply means that they are profiting. Perhaps, it was already acceptable and sometimes we even can say that there is manipulation. However, we know gambling is all about having luck and our chances are very slim which really gives a bigger chance for the casino to earn a lot of money.

But why are people still gambling even knowing that we only have little chance of winning? We are not actually aiming to beat the house but gamblers are targeting to hit the jackpot prize. Some say they are doing this for fun which means that they will accept if they lose.

325  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many times we will make the same mistake? - History repeats Again & Again! on: February 23, 2024, 07:20:11 PM

Now you may say yes 10 years ago there was an opportunity to invest in Bitcoin. I know you missed that opportunity even I missed it but everyone knows that Bitcoin price will reach 100k or 150k. Even JP Morgan, who is strongly opposed to Bitcoin, says that the price of Bitcoin will increase.
So those who missed the previous rally should not try to catch the current rally? Will we make the same mistake again and again?

I believe that the price of Bitcoin will increase but reaching $100k - $150k remains uncertain. However, I will continue accumulating Bitcoin believing that I could make a profit even if it never grows that much because of the volatility of the market. Having time to buy during the market correction and sell during the pump is a usual activity in the market.

I was certain that there was no quitting in here now. Yes, I missed buying 10 years ago because of doubts but as I already understand and experience the benefits of Bitcoin, I don't think I have to miss it again.
326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Couple won the jackpot but split soon after! on: February 23, 2024, 05:00:47 PM
I have noticed that many blame chick for making a decision to split and she wants to keep whole prize. I am sure there were reasons to do that. If their relationships were healthy, she or he would not make moves in the past and right now to split. Maybe that guy was a troublesome. Maybe there were no more magic between them. I dont know their whole background, but I cant blame for leaving that man. I can only blame her for decision not to split the prize.
The woman is not the only one who is at fault here so she is the only one to blame, They both became greedy for money and both are invincible because of their own pride. It's easy to solve that kind of problem, both should just agree on a 50/50 split especially since they haven't been dating for that long, they haven't been married yet so it seems like it would be difficult if you go through legal ways, too much of trouble and hassle on both sides.
They had already split anyway, so there's no more trouble. The woman already claimed the money, she was the one claiming it because she was the one who purchase it, while the man is only after if he could have the 50% since  they were together. That's how sad the reality of the world is, money can reveal a person's true identity,  and in this case, it was the woman who has the right, so whatever the man will do, he can't change the reality.
327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 23, 2024, 03:14:04 PM
The only downside in this game is that Klay Thompson continue to struggle with his shooting, just scoring 3 points in 28 minutes.

Yep, it was indeed a disappointing performance by Thompson. Nevertheless, let me remind you that he scored 35 points in the previous game against the Jazz. So, I think he's not as bad as it may seem at first glance, although his role on the team has really become less important compared to what it used to be.

He might score 35 points but struggle in his next game; it's not what the Warriors are looking for. They want to get the same Klay Thompson who can back up Curry every time their main star player will struggle. It's true that his role is becoming less important, and that might affect his next contract with the team since he was expecting a good salary, but with his current contribution, for sure, the management would not be able to give that. He still has the remaining of the season to prove himself, especially in the playoffs; the Game 6 Klay should come alive so he can keep his value.

It's his last chance, but we've seen enough from him since last season when he was also struggling. It was only when the Warriors started to limit Klay that they got better, going 8-2 in their last 10 games. This is quite new to me since they weren't getting those stats earlier this season. The strategy is straightforward: give Klay more minutes if he is hot, or bench him if he is struggling. It doesn't matter if that will affect his confidence; he has to understand that he isn't the same anymore and face the reality to contribute to the team effectively.
328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: February 23, 2024, 12:23:01 PM
True, because no matter how bad a child's personality is, it is still entirely our responsibility as parents and only we can change and direct it in a better direction, however you or we must be able to change it in any way that seems reasonable and influential enough, but if in the end they still do the same action in the sense of stealing, it means that there is a mistake that you did in terms of educating them. But on the other hand I think we should be able to educate and change them because usually parents have enough formulas to overcome some personality problems that a child has. On the other hand, the fear and the thing to worry about is when they are adults, because obviously if it is not changed immediately from now on then most likely they will be bolder to do crazier and worse actions when they grow up and their actions will not only harm them but also their closest family.
Parents duties and responsibilities is not easy in educating their children because parents responsible to their children when their children grow up. Parents should follow their children and find a way to besides them and bring their children to the right way. We can tell them about the right and wrong thing and if they make mistakes, we can give a little punishment to them as a reminder. We don't have to be strict to them as that can make their children rebel and don't like what their parents say. With always remind them about the things they do and treat them as a friend, our children will not trying to do something that can harm themselves and will not do anything bad. While the children are still not mature, parents can teach and give good education to them so they will always remember what their parents suggest. If we can responsible to our child, we will see they grow up without doing something bad or harm themselves.
Perhaps, there is no hard in educating our kids if we care about their future. Indeed, it is the responsibility of the parents and it is their duty for their kids not to fall into gambling addiction. If they let this happen and reconsider them because they are just a kid and do not yet know that was wrong, it is the same as teaching them to commit more mistakes. And that is not an act of being responsible parents nor an act of teaching them to be a good parent in the future. It should not be tolerated or else, it will put into their mind that it is okay to do it again.
329  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and people knowledge on: February 23, 2024, 08:44:23 AM
I don't know everything as well OP. But I read and listened because I wanted to learn about Bitcoin. Some people don't do it nor bother themselves to spend time doing this because lack of interest and that drives them not to listen as well. But don't blame them nor force them to believe what we know about Bitcoin because still it ends up with conflicts of ideas and perceptions.

That is why I don't argue with people when talking about Bitcoin as it is hard to convince a close-minded person as they think negatively already. They won't listen as they will also claim that they are right. Honestly, it is just a waste of time and maybe we just accept the truth that not all are able to see the potential value of Bitcoin.
330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble with what you can afford to lose can actually make a good investment on: February 23, 2024, 05:26:22 AM
snip~
Let us discussed to if this can save someone from gambling addiction.
Maybe, if will had thought that first but was too late to realize such kind of stuff when we already started gambling (and the worst is addiction).
Even if we never gamble, we are not sure as well that we are thinking about investing as well. So I would say that investing just comes out in our mind and recognize its importance when we already missed it.

But I understand why, it is just most gamblers think that gambling could them a chance to win big and instantly become rich but through investing, it takes several years before they see rewards. I see that the majority are impatient and they prefer to take their chance on luck rather than hard work and patience.
331  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can we understand market going to be Bear? on: February 22, 2024, 09:58:16 PM
We have the price chart to check but it doesn't mean we are too certain about the next, it can be changed abruptly without any indications and we just know it when it happens already. However, this would help us at least have some ideas about the current movement of the market and predict the future. But to become certain about it is simply impossible.

Let us understand that the market is volatile, it often changes its course from time to time. We might be experiencing the pump today but can be possible a drop will occur next. So I suggest monitoring the price chart and making this our basis of analysis.
332  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you feel about high-profile traders making wrong calls ? on: February 22, 2024, 09:21:11 PM

To me it simply goes to show anyone can be wrong, and you shouldn't be certain of anything short term.
Perhaps, they don't even know what will happen next, so it was expected to make wrong calls rather than making always right. But this won't make them lose their reputation because everyone knows this would happen in trading. This will tell us, especially newbies that there is no exception for losses, even though we have been so many years in trading, that still happens and this is because of the market condition --unpredictable. And no way to change it no matter what we do as there is no perfection in a volatile market. That is why it is been called -- high risk and so we don't take this easy, especially for beginners, or think, we can do this without proper knowledge and good skills.

That's a lot of games for pretty bad odds so follow at your own risk.  I wanted to try and hit a big parlay today though since there were so many games.  Smiley  I also picked Phoenix in a side bet over the Mavericks who are the favorites.


The ticket looks good. This should hit, all the good teams might likely win since they have a good break, no more back to back games or playing 3 games in 4 nights schedule that could lead to the fatigue factor. Here, nothing to consider a lot since the break was long and they are back fresh. I will follow the parlay. Thank you for sharing it here, last time I checked, you hit your parlay bet so I trust you.

Have you guys read a rumor about Greg Slaughter signing with Ginebra again? I just saw a post on Facebook about this but could not confirm if that was really true, as there hasn't been an article online that gives more details about this. I was just thinking, if he will sign with Ginebra again, that would make this team a good contender in the All-Filipino Cup. JMF and Greg Slaughter are a good match, and every time they play against each other, it is always a very competitive match individually.

There are lots of fake posts on Facebook, so rumors might be baseless without proof that it's really possible. Well, before Slaughter could really match JMF, but we haven't seen him anymore on how he is playing now. I believe he is playing overseas, but I guess he's not doing well since our vloggers are not making videos of him. That only means he is not interesting to watch. We'll see how these rumors will unfold; perhaps we can find some posters here that could provide more details regarding this.
335  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to find and hold in Atlcoin effectively? on: February 22, 2024, 10:49:15 AM
We can do it simple
 - invest potential altcoins and don't bother to wait for many years but rather take a chance selling them when we already earn some profit.
 - avoid letting your greed, it won't help us earn more but losses
 - use reputed trading platforms rather than using new ones, it gives us funds security

Be wise and don't get fooled by influencers who thought impossible things - earning quick, high ROI, etc...promising words speak nothing, it will only disappoint us.

Do the research and take this as the basis of choosing them rather than letting others do that.
336  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie traders, work on yourself. on: February 21, 2024, 09:36:48 PM
That is the only issue that almost all newbies have, because they do not wait until they have a thorough understanding of trading before introducing themselves. That is why the majority of Newbies lose money quickly. I believe that if newbies traders can learn and develop expertise in trading, they will profit since they will never lose money if they understand how to handle their marketing. Some people's thinking trading is simple where they can come and make money quickly; some do not even consider the risk, they simply direct themselves and begin with an amount they cannot afford to lose.
Perhaps, they are newbies, and still a lot of things need to be discovered and ideas to learn. It can't be happened in one day which is why they should be more patient and keep going with having trust with themselves rather than relying on other people who assume themselves as expert. Maybe they will but still, we need to stand alone and decide what is right and what strategy we feel comfortable with because a simple BUY, HOLD, and SELL while using known coins are certainly working without a doubt. If we still lose, it is not with the market but it is our fault.
337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you stand to gain from the bull run. on: February 21, 2024, 09:08:55 PM
We should start asking ourselves question like, how far have we gone in our Bitcoin accumulating process?  If the bull run comes this week, how much can we milk out from our current holdings? if we had any.

Don't pressure ourselves to buy but just accumulate as long as we can and not exceed our limits. We're uncertain of what will happen in the next couple of days but at least we are already prepared and have accumulated already.

Asking how much is possible to earn? That depends on how much BTC you have held and the market price. Would you sell OP if the price will reach $60k next week? If yes, then you can make an estimate already how much you possibly earn. But for me, I couldn't sell yet as I wait for the next ATH. Besides, that is an individual choice and I prefer to accumulate more and hold rather than selling.
338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: February 21, 2024, 12:14:09 PM
I think JMF can play, but they are giving him a rest since they know they are capable of beating those two teams. JMF and AJ Edu were crucial during their Asian Games championship run, but now they won't be playing, and instead, Japeth will be on the court. While Japeth may not contribute as much on points, he can still be reliable in terms of defense, even if he isn't the same as before. However, with Tim Cone as the coach, I trust him to make the most out of this lineup and be successful in these two games.

He was forced to play during the finals as they needed him. But this one might be too physical since there are lots of big guys, and he doesn't want to risk himself playing not at 100%. JMF has a lot of injury history already, and he is better when he is fully healthy, like as healthy as he was when they won a championship in the Asian Games. Honestly, I think Edu is more effective, but since he is also out, other bigs should step up, and hopefully, Japeth will turn back the time.

It will be a good test for Kai, as he will be playing most of the time since both JMF and Edu are out coach Tim will utilize him and knowing how good JBL he will also use Kai's advantage in terms of their offense, I'm not looking for Japeth as age and all those injuries might slow him he will be there to bring aid for Kai and for all those big young guns.

We will see how and what are the plans, good thing that they are preparing much earlier and PBA is letting them to work out and do the drills and practices to know more about the system that coach Tim wants to execute.

Maybe it's just timely because Kai is now regaining his confidence. I've seen some highlights from some of his recent games where he was able to score 20+ points, and the shot-blocking is still there. Having him on the team will help Gilas improve their defense. I'm excited about this since it could be the first time we see Kai getting some good minutes, unlike in the FIBA World Cup, where despite his length, he could easily be abused in the paint, resulting in him getting limited minutes.
339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 21, 2024, 11:38:09 AM
I do agree, the coach is the first head to roll if teams are not looking good, except maybe in the case of Adrian Griffin, has a winning record with the Bucks, but still he was fired from his position.

So yeah, there's no security tenure for this coach, and it's like they really have to live day by day coaching and making the team great. And there are cases too that players might have demanded the management to fire this coach and hire a new one.
I know of someone who did that, and it was LeBron James. He was the reason why Coach David Blatt was fired despite having a good record. LeBron was criticized for that, but it turns out it was a good decision, as in that season, they won a championship under Coach Ty Lue. Also, there was a rumor before that LeBron wanted Coach Spoelstra to get fired, but the management didn't agree, and that caused LeBron to go back to Cleveland.
340  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Short Term Trading Altcoins and Meme Coins? on: February 20, 2024, 09:55:23 PM
You can use any alt-coin, meme coin for short term trading.  Among meme coin, doge coin, Shiba Inu are good. Among alt coin, Ethereum, BnB, Solana are good.  But I will not tell you to invest in any of them. Because alt coin and meme coin have no trust.  Alt coins and meme coins should always be traded short term.  Long term trades result in the possibility of losing everything.  doge coin is good but it is not possible to say for certain.
The thing on here is that people are really that trying to hit up those projects that SHIB-like and hoping that they would really be able to make themselves that rich.This is why the search would really be never ending.
Honestly, i have been able to experience out those kind of aims and goals specially on dealing wayback on BSC memecoins or shitcoins out there and now ive been hovering on Solana ecosystem on which you could really be able to see tons of shitcoins in the market on which this would really be able to stir up your emotions when it comes to this or having those selections. Its not really that bad on trading up with these coins if you
do really know on what you are doing. Just take profits when you do hit x2 or x3 and dont aim for more because these projects usually rug pull and die in a few minutes.

If you do know on what you are doing then making money is somewhat plausible on this method but of course there would really be things that needed up to be considered out first.
Experience traders make it easy for them, they can play tricks on the market which is okay for them to use meme coins but for beginners, this should not be tried. Experience is very advantageous in trading, we can make money if are not greedy here. Having 2x or 3x is big enough which I think is very acceptable. It is very important we feel the satisfaction of earning a small amount or else, we miss the chance (and even lose). We need to be smart in trading and avoid too much greediness because this is the reason why we fail.

We can trade these hyped coins and make a profit but should be fast enough to analyze the price chart and take a sell opinion when there is a price rally. It is more strategic which is difficult for newbies.
