Less than a month until the Nets come to Los Angeles to play the Lakers for the first time with their new squads. I don’t know if the stars will be playing or not, but I am looking forward to it and hoping they are. As soon as I find out how to watch the game I’ll let it be known.
What is that game? is that a preseason game? because I believe the regular season will start in December, it must be a preseason game, if it is, I don't think the Lakers will let their star players play, I'm sure they'll save it in the regular season.

Really good achievement, your concerns are understandable considering many bookies don't pay gamblers in case of huge wins. Only well-known crypto and fiat bookies can pay such an amount without extra documents or KYC headache. Pinnacle and Asianodds are the only two bookies that have no withdrawal or win limits depending on the line, so you will never fall into trouble if big wins happen there.
But these are not crypto betting sites, right? well, with the amount OP has accumulated over a long period of time, I think it's just right to comply with the KYC for his protection also, with some sites that promote anonymous gambling especially with no good reputation, the moment you put your money in their site, you are at risk of losing it already as if they will scam, you cannot go after them since they are not regulated, or if you could, but it might take a lot of time which makes you exert more effort and time to do it. OP has a winning strategy, he just has to ensure that he can get his win without any problem.

This is what Oscar Valdez says: "I have never used banned substances to improve my performance. I never have and never will. I am respectful of anti-doping tests since my time as an amateur and now as a professional," Valdez said.
"And since I've been a professional I have undergone more than 30 anti-doping tests, which is something we always ask for and we make sure that [drug testing] is in the contract, to do the VADA tests to keep the sport clean and to make sure that no one has any advantage." https://www.boxingscene.com/oscar-valdez-i-never-banned-substances-improve-my-performance--160320Yeah, we take his word, but seriously, how can someone who says who didn't take any ban substance was caught here? His A and B sample turns out to be positive, if it is only A sample, probably he get it from somewhere else, but both his samples are positive. So I agree with some posters that he might have used this one to mask some other substance, or his condition coach forgot about the recycling calendar. We are not experts in this area, let's leave it to the expert I guess. The fact that the fight still continues despite the findings, that would only say that he did not violate any rules and therefore there's no reason to speculate that he should be ban or sanction for being positive of such drugs substances.

Thanks for sharing the information; to be honest, I didn't even read the TOS because I knew gambling isn't legal in our country and it's not a good idea to use custodial wallets on a gambling platform. The best way is to transfer the funds to Binance or another exchange and then convert them to XRP, where the fees are very low.
It will be a huge problem for an individual if they use it and violate the TOS, because creating an account like a custodial wallet is difficult, and KYC takes a long time to be verified.
Once your name is blacklisted due to violation, you cannot make an account again under your name, you may still use the platform but under the name of another person, could be your wife, parents, or siblings and it's not convenient anymore for you, so prevention is really important, and OP did the right thing for this warning.

There's a good point here. COLUMN: PBA better mount a full bubble before all hell breaks looseCHICAGO - I just tested positive for pessimism over this fractured, ongoing PBA Philippine Cup conference in Bacolor, Pampanga.
My symptoms are serious doubt and mild outrage.
According to my sources, over 10 positive COVID-19 tests have now infected the tournament and I have a bad feeling that the league is not necessarily forthcoming about the matter.
I say that because the official statement the PBA issued yesterday regarding the postponement of the game between Meralco and Ginebra was spectacularly vague. It soundly defeated the purpose of a press release, a tool meant to convey clarity and withstand scrutiny. read for more..... My opinion is, they should act now and make it a full bubble if they don't want to compromise the rest of the conference, the virus could spread so fast, and these players not staying in one location might put them at risk of getting infected, one person gets infected and it could ruin everything. I hope this would not happen, the postponement of games is really scary as they could suddenly announce that one player has been infected with covid-19 and it could result in a domino effect. In another article related to that, it looks like they will stay in the same location despite NCR is already in GCQ. https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/no-rush-to-bring-pba-games-back-to-ncr-after-gcq-declaration-a791-20210906?ref=feed_1_section

Therefore the ban would be enforced by the banks and not by any government and the authority.
This is definitely correct, but banks would not ban credit cards if they don't violate the law. Banks are the implementors to its client, while the government under its agency will also enforce the law to ensure that banks are properly doing their job as a business that operates under the law.

Lol, I guess he is also prepared to be the next internet meme sensation if Inoue knock the hell out of Casimero, it will be huge and embarrassing for him. But that's what you get when you try to used your mouth often than your fist, karma will bite you in the ass.
So he better perform and back up that trash talking of him. But we all know that Inoue is the better and superior fighter, and it sounds that if this fight is going to happen, Inoue will take this personal and will give Casimero everything until he knocks him out.
For sure, he knows what is at stake when he did that trash talk. He needs to fight according to his mouth, or else he will gain the fame with all those memes that will circulate after this fight. After getting the attention of both Inoue's camp and all his fans, now is the best time to train to be more prepared so he showcase his talents and try to win this with pride! We all know that Casimero is a warrior too, he knows what he is doing and he is not afraid to fight the best fighter in his division, and currently based on record it was Inoue who is the best fighter, and this opportunity is his chance to prove that he can be the best by beating the best. This fight is the fight that boxing fans have been waiting for, after previously the fight was postponed due to the pandemic, I personally see that this fight is likely to be a very difficult fight to predict who will win, because both boxers are the best boxers in class Bantamweight right now, but I'll bet that Inoue will win by technical knockout later. I doubt that, I know it's one of the anticipated fights but the most anticipated fight for me is Inoue vs Casimero. And I don't think it's hard to predict as Inoue and Donaire already fought before and it was Inoue who was victorious with a dominant performance getting the Unanimous Decision after 12 rounds.

Nope, there is no relationship between "Axie Infinity" and restricted gambling activity. Is all depends on the regulation and laws of the county exchange operating, some of them cannot take any gambling transaction mosthly for the country who really restricted about gambling maybe on some countries who have idolized religion. In our country, the only concern of the government is to tax Axie Infinity earners, while gambling is treated differently as it's illegal. So to make it short, gambling is not allowed while Axie Infinity is allowed but everyone has to pay taxes on their income.

I hope that with his come back, he's healthy enough and this news can't also be accurate most of the time even if they tell that he's clear.
Hmm, I'm exciting to his return, even though he's a little bit old, I believe Aldridge could be a player that will make a difference in the Nets. Talking about this topic, what is the real health of Aldridge? Does he still have the physical fitness to play? I'm not saying the Achilles injury won't affect Klay's Thompson shooting % but I see he can adjust right away and back to his usual form once he returns to playing on the court. The reason is, majority of his moves was catch and shoot. Yes, it requires great footwork but mostly, the pressure is on his shooting.
Once returned, he just needs to refrain from attacking the paint until his confidence to do it comes back. Warriors will be deadly next season even other teams improved. We saw how Curry makes lots of crazy scores last season and they become noticeable even with a bad record. Now with the help again, I'm expecting he will be on his usual form and not that owning all offense by the team.
I'm pretty sure Klay Thompson will focus on his shots, mostly 3 points. I believe that unfortunately he is not in the good physical condition that he had before, with the injuries he suffered (ACL and Achilles injury), he will never go back as he was before (physically speaking), because basically he had his knee patched and a considerably "severe" injury to your Achilles tendon How severe is his injury compared to Kevin Durant? Because I know when Durant got injured, we thought he will never get back playing with the same intensity as in the past, he was even out for one whole season, but we were wrong with our expectation as he leads the Nets in the playoffs, just unfortunate his other 2 star players teammates were injured.

It will be based on how well he manages himself before investing. The investor has targeted and also the period of investment. Some are being long-term investors so that they will not mind enough with the decreased price. Here, if an investor has been ready for the investment, he will be ready for the risks, including the loss of the money itself. That is why it is better to manage the funds to invest. Being sad because of losing is normal, but never put yourself in bad condition often after losing. Keep moving on
Crypto trading cannot guarantee profits most of the time so better expect more losing experiences than gaining profits. It is indeed a self motivation first before deciding to invest or trade so you won't come in the market often losing because you have not prepared for such circumstances. The moment you entered into crypto investments or any kind of investments, prepare yourself as things might go wrong far from your expectations. For me, just don't let your emotions controlled your whole mindset. Be flexible and learn to take things the other way around if things don't go out as planned. Be positive and stay focus to your goal.

Are you a Bitcoin expert? Show me your account and tell me how much you have made from the market. I know many experts and they have been empty-handed in the 2018-2019 downtrend. It is hard to imagine that the world has so many experts.
Bitcoin experts are still losing in some ways so i don't think it will be an issue. For me, as long as i'm making consistent profits in the crypto market so i am considering myself a pro bitcoin. If we can hold our coins for long term because we have faith in those potential coins so that also makes a pro bitcoin or let's just say a pro crypto. Being a pro bitcoin means that you have been here struggling for a long time and yet, you never resorted into quitting. That is more likely a believer of bitcoin and it should not be changed even if the market seems so stupid most of the time.

Can Ethereum really reach 10k? And if yes, when can it reach 10k? Ethereum is at 4k currently.
of course I believe it can happen and in fact almost everyone believe if the price of Ethereum will reach $10k, then I believe if the price of Ethereum can reach $10k at the latest next year, therefore now you still have a chance to buy Ethereum with a low price and hold it for the long term, because I believe investing in Ethereum for the long term, then it will definitely give you a big profit, because Ethereum is a good investment to be a long-term investment (the price of Ethereum will always continue to increase). With the continuous good price increase in the market, ethereum is more likely to reach another ATH and in fact $10k might be able to attain in its second quarter by next year. Although price corrections will sure to occur from time to time, but just like bitcoin, it will always recover again. I'm very optimistic that ethereum will do more great by next year so i'm planning to invest in ethereum as much as i can and preferably hold it until it reaches a good selling point. By that time, long term investors might be very profitable by then.

Bitcoin price is increasing so fast such that some people wish they borrowed and bought bitcoin at 29k some weeks ago
I want to know if it's much risk to borrow and purchase bitcoin like it is to trade bitcoin. However, the market is pumping, and it may seem like a good move if the loan is not for lunch, rent, and family bills which account for our daily needs (That is, my daily needs have been taken care of). Thus, timing is another criterion to discuss. How can someone know the perfect time to pick such a desperate gamble? We win or lose in trading or holding bitcoin but, I presume with the help of experts in this forum who have gone through thick and thins in this market, good guides or rules can be shared for users and newbies in the forum to have a grip on the market and know if borrowing is appropriate. It does sound thoughtless but, borrowing is part of the business. And we must prepare for the best as well.
Thanks, I'm ready to learn.
Well, its your choice anyway if you want to borrow money for the sake that your gonna use it to buy Bitcoin then hold for the long term. I don't see any problem with that if you have a good vision about it. But if your not deeply knowledgeable about in Bitcoin, I suggest borrowing money for this is not a good financial advice in my own opinion only. This doesnt talk about being knowledgeable or not but this do mainly matters if you do able to repay those debts or interest on the right time? Bitcoin or crypto investment isnt something that you could get some assurances for you to make profits on a specific time that you do desire.You shouldnt have this kind of mindset because this will really make mistakes and only invest on what you could afford to lose and dont make loans if you wont able to repay it and you are just simply putting yourself into big trouble. In general, borrowing money for crypto investment is never a good idea. You are likely gambling your money instead. I think even if you know you can repay it but it will be more ideal if you can only invest on your spare money so that if you happen to lose, you won't have to dwell on regrets. Although bitcoin is very profitable but still there is no guarantee of sure profits since the market is highly volatile too. What goes up today might suddenly fall down tomorrow so learn to be more flexible. We know its a high risk investment so as much as possible have your own funds so you won't think of repaying loans either the market goes into bullish or bearish.

I invest and hold, sometimes I try to catch some tops and to sell at that time, so I can buy more coins when the price dips! I learned everything by myself, I had a headache from all the readings, from trying to learn about something totally new for me, from trying to apply all that in real practice, sometimes it's not an easy task to apply everything you learned... So my investment strategy is my own, it's hard to describe it in a few words... but it works for me, and I am not sure it will work for others! What is unique for all of us is the learning part, trying to apply that and practice it with real money, and in the end, to find what suits you, your time, and your bankroll is important, as the part "how to do it" and be profitable in the long run! Try to learn and to find the best for you! It's my advice for all the people who are ready to invest themselves in crypto!
Learning on your own is definitely a good idea knowing you have all the resources then so there's no reason you can't do it. You don't need to rely on someone else as the crypto market is full uncertainties so better explore the market ands discover on your own. I usually go with the market trends and all that goes that hype in the market as long as i know it has high potentials to gain huge demand and the utility case is there. Its just that lately i'm more attached on NFT's projects because of its usefulness so people are definitely rushing into it especially that its very profitable this time. And of course i'm still into hodling my most potential coins with bitcoin and ethereum and some top altcoins that are heading into their new ATH in less than 3 months i guess.

Some people said that 'Don't invest more than you can afford to lose.' Do you agree?
Yes, maximum people think the currency market is like a sheer market so hare is lost and profit both for all investors and traders so before invest or trade any token and coin at first we have to setup our mind for we have to afford the loss. Cuse future is always uncertain. Not just in crypto but even in real life, all investments should always have its limits of funds and as much as we can, start a minimal amount so that if things don't go out as planned, you will never be left empty pocket. Most particularly in crypto wherein high volatility is always observed. So if you plan to invest, have some amount which you can only afford to lose and not those come from emergency funds. I personally invest with my own spare money and yes, losses always hit me. And maybe its a reality that there might be more losses than profits particularly if you are still a newbie but atleast we will learn to overcome this as experience will always help us to do better in what we used to do.

I think that there is no need to worry about such thing that the rich will have all of the Bitcoins circulating. Because I don't think there is even a slight chance for this to happen. Bitcoin is for all of us, not special to a group of people or something like that. In the end, you can buy whatever amount of Bitcoin you would like. And even if the price reaches millions of dollars worth level, this will stay the same.
The price of bitcoin will gradually grow from time to time and its becoming inevitable due to its huge demand from the community. And i don't think it will be limited only for those who can afford it because bitcoin is definitely for all levels as long as they have funds to invest on it. Poor people should have given more opportunities so they can improve their status with the presence of bitcoin online. And as far as bitcoin is here, the poor people will always have chances to invest in it regardless of the amount of their capital. So what your concept OP about its high price should not be a barrier for poor people to think that they are left behind. Always have courage to invest because eventually when you create huge profits, a poor person will just be equal with a rich one.

I am sure that those who protest for this reason have no idea that the main money laundering has occurred with fiat money, I think that people's ignorance has no cavity here, mainly this is because a lot of financial education is needed.
People mainly do not trust the volatility of BTC, Besides that there is a great campaign against BTC, both in the news and in the opposition of the government, all this helps that people do not understand the social problem very well, which, all it gets stuck for me for that reason. When a person does not understand a technology, it is normal for them to lean towards the bad, which is shown by the news, actually when watching CNN in Spanish they do not recommend investing in BTC in their programs due to high volatility. Volatility is not essentially a bad thing. When you are using Bitcoin to make payments or for remittance, if you are using a payment processor then the coins will be immediately converted to fiat currency. Neither the seller, nor the buyer need to worry about the volatility here. And mainstream media has never presented a honest picture of Bitcoin in front of the ordinary people. They would like us to believe that it is the currency of drug dealers and pedophiles, even when they don't have any proof to back it up. The question arises, how then will all this work? First, question number 1: bitcoin. How will citizens receive it - after receiving a salary, will they be exchanged for bitcoin? 2. And do they apply - make a payment in bitcoin, which automatically turns into fiat? If both answers are yes, then the question is: why such a complicated process? If we have fiat at the entrance and fiat at the exit? And on top of that, there is a time between them, during which the stored bitcoin with a high probability will lose its value, which will lead to the loss of such a holder in the wallet! I just can't understand the meaning or logic of accepting cryptocurrency as a means of payment in order to get out of a difficult economic situation? This is not an option, this is playing to the public and deceiving people! If you are not right - please, bring your thought in a well-reasoned way? I think the only way for them to accept BTC is when the news shows that BTC has risen in price, when you have new highs people will say: "If I had had BTC then I would have a lot more money right now" I think when a Such an event is when they will reconsider, it is normal for many to have doubts, but when they see that they can use it as a savings tool that will generate more per year than the interest offered in a bank, they will accept it, it is logical, when it comes to filling your pocket will not seem like a bad idea to anyone. El Salvador citizens should be educated on bitcoin first and how it will be functional to the people and how to use it before it will be declare as a legal tender. I really understand the sentiments of the retirees as they have no enough knowledge on bitcoin so they stick on what they believe about its negative impressions. But if given chances to be well educated, i think they will totally change their stand on bitcoin and will accept bitcoin as part of their financial system. The change should not be so quick as people are still learning to adopt it. The process will take time for sure particularly with those aged people and retirees so the government should learn how to guide them too.

what do you think by the sudden move of the Ethereum price not even determining the gas price so high ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F3mtKNVH.png&t=665&c=75-v9wSpNNZohg) all day high $3,836.87 and the low $3,540 Do we see 5k Eth price by end of the week or month? Am not sure if this can be reachable for this month alone but what i can tell you is this thread talks about 10,000 target https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5347301.0that is the only way and sure that ethereum can reach 10,000 but no certain time . but person like me? who loves ethereum? i don't care if this took me forever as long as i am holding my coin it doesn't matter anyway. Given the current situation, I probably don't care too much about it happening this month because I personally believe ETH will get higher prices than that. Honestly, $5000 is not too much of a price, and with the recent ETH changes, many people will probably see how great ETH is at increasing profits.
That is exactly the point here , we are not certain for specification but one thing we are sure of and that ETH will go higher when time comes. You know there are many people who have speculating about $10k possibility and know i get the scheme behind all the hype as it was said to be the Ethburn, so with the process we can say the price is uncontrollable as getting to $5k is sure. $10k might be possible but it might happen early next year but for ethereum to reach $5k i think this price is very attainable within this month. With its current price at $3, 873 as of this writing, i know it has more chances to grow more as long as no major price corrections will suddenly appear. We all have high hopes for bitcoin actually but i think this time, ethereum might reach first its new ATH because bitcoin is still struggling in its current price at $50,090.

In my opinion if the coin I still hold has not been removed from the market then I do not say it is a loss even though the price is already very low. In my opinion, to overcome such a situation, it is better to hold on to the asset until it finds the best price later. but if you still have another balance then you should put it on a coin that has a better price potential to get a profit. i will deal with it like what i have mentioned.
That's right, when the price of the coin drops, it can't be said that we failed or lost. While I still have savings for my needs, I also never sell my assets when the price drops. If I do that then I will lose. of course what you say is very true, then what needs to be understood in investing or buying and selling digital currency, at least in carrying out these activities we do not use money that has a need for every day or what is often mentioned Kitchen money. I think there is no defeat in this activity if we are able to manage the assets we have. Managing your investment is he first priority that each traders must have when dealing with this business, without the right knowledge you'll just keep seeing yourself losing. Panic due to uncertain situation is mostly happened if the money that you are using is not planned to long term investment, I mean if you are leaning your budget with the same capital. You can extend your holding when you use extra money that purely intend for this venture. People tend to create more losses than winning profits because the investment alone is not well planned. If you are planning to invest in something, make sure you have separate funds for that and not use the budget that is intended for something else. This is the reason why people panic sell because they expect quick profits in just a short time and once they see their investments prices were falling, they resorted into panic seling which will make them fall into huge losses. If you are in an investment, prepare for its consequences. There are no guarantees when will make you profits but as long as you are knowledgeable on the investment you are doing, then i think you will be able to manage your losses with long stretch of patience too.

I think trust can remedy this thought, I have a friend who is aged and also learned, but he engaged in this popular Ponzi scheme MMM and lost so much to it, and after wards anything online, digital that's finances he is not interested in it and felt same way to crypto-currency, not on till the person he trust guided him, now he is very much into crypto-currency and he is always like an ambassador, those type of people can never be forced, but can be guided by who they trust, like what Elon musk did, many people came into crypto-currency because of the trust they have in his judgment.
If he can trust someone to change his perception on crypto, then that someone might be very effective. I also think its just a matter of self education and once you know already the facts about crypto, you will never be afraid in it anymore knowing its not a ponzi scheme that exists online. I have encountered lots of people like this. For me, it is important too that we should be there in their learning process not just to guide them, but definitely clear out all negativities that became the barriers of not believing them in crypto.
