Put your bets brothers, this could become a sweep if the Warriors and the Bucks will win again.  Cheesy
The Celtics may have done great against the Nets but this is a different story versus the Bucks. They are known as one of the best in defensive plays so even without Middleton they could win it.

Don't underestimate the Celtics they too are a good defensive team. We all know they can't Giannis, but with a consistent and efficient shooting they can actually win the series. Game 2 was the best example of it. Celtics actually have a good chance to beat the Bucks here, nevertheless this is going to be a good match up. Who ever wins between these 2 deserves to be in the finals.
Celtics in 7 Cheesy.
Its only my prediction though and I agree that lets not underestimate the Celtics just because they are against the defending champions. They had a better offense right now in Game 2 compare in Game 1. Celtics had a good start, took the lead and never came back. If Tatum and  Brown continues to play like this all throughout the series, they will defeat the Celtics. Middleton will not play this series as well so that's a disadvantage already however, I don't know if Smart will play in this series. If somebody knows then please share it Smiley.

The Warriors too, Grizzlies may have taken a higher seed but we know the Warriors as one of the formidable teams when it comes to playoffs time. They may have been rusty but they are back with a newly acquired deep bench that helped them pave the way to the playoffs.

I was really hoping for the GSW to sweep the Memphis but they even up the series. Now, they're back at home, hope they'll win the 2 upcoming games and finish it on the road.
The top 3 scorers of Warriors had a bad night shooting below 50% except Poole who has exact 50% but overall, its unacceptable so I will just say that its either they have a bad night or the defense of the Grizzlies is just too much on this game.

Hope for GP2 to recover quickly from his injury though because he is a big addition to the team defensively. I thought that the Warriors will take both games on the road but its good that it isn't so... lets expect a good series between the 2 but I'll go with Warriors in 6-7 games.

Quite unfortunate for the OP but this kind of stories are already normal.
Gamblers losing all of their money because of their wrong decisions and emotions.

On the other hand though, in order for a person to learn something you must make mistakes Smiley. You must make mistakes if you want to learn and I hope that the OP learned from his mistakes. I had made some gambling mistakes as well like letting my emotions control over me. Making all-in bets which ended up losing my money but I learned from it and didn't do it anymore.
3243  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New project success on: May 03, 2022, 01:28:22 PM
Well, idk but I really wanna ask this question here, as we all are seeing lots of new alt crypto roaming around the crypto market. what are the factors needed for successful crypto projects, does anyone know?
There are many factors in order for a project to be successful but these are the 2 of the top factors that I'm using whenever I want to invest into a certain project.

1. Use case - What will be the use case of the coin? What will be the benefits of the holders of the coin? Where will be the coin be used? Will it help the people in some ways? Use case for me is very important because if you will see some of the top coins right now have a use case like BNB for example where you can use their token to reduce the fees and some staking coins where you can earn rewards just by holding the coin though it isn't the only use case of these staking coins.

2. Community - These for me is the top priority when it comes to the success of the project. If people see the project as a good one, many people will join and invest into it and vice-versa. Though having a huge community isn't an automatic success, most of the time a project becomes successful whenever it has many supporters or in this case investors unto the project.

I will not be surprised if it will happen Smiley. TBH, this might be the start of the multi-month bear market.
US Stock Market is down as well because of inflation (maybe) and the Stock Market and Bitcoin often moves in the same direction. The Ukraine-Russia affects the whole market as well.

This might happen and there is also a possibility that we might see Bitcoin at $30,000 with what is happening right now. Base on the fear and greed index, investors are feared right now. People see this one as a negative one but intelligent ones see this as an opportunity. Just continue Dollar Cost Averaging if you really trust Bitcoin and you believe that it will go up in a few months to years.
3245  Economy / Speculation / Re: Stability of bitcoin on: May 03, 2022, 12:37:22 PM
First of all, lets get the definition of the word "Stable" in Merriam Webster. It says there that stable is "not changing or fluctuating".

Bitcoin right now is more of an asset already than a currency and there is no asset that is stable (aside from stablecoins of course). S&P500 isn't stable, Gold isn't stable, Stock Market isn't stable. No asset is stable at all and that also applies into Bitcoin so the term "stability" can't be used with Bitcoin because it can't be stable at all.


Must there be a rising and falling of crypto before the market can work effectively
Crypto is working effectively already (for me) even though it is rising or falling and its completely normal so... just live with it Smiley.
3246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase CEO Brian armstrong prediction 10 to 20 years from now. on: May 03, 2022, 12:17:38 PM
I could hardly believe it when i saw the news today about the prediction of the coinbase CEO, he said 10 to 20 years from now cryptocurrency will have a 1 billion users, well he has a point the people who has involed in crypto on year 2021 market is reaching over 220 million individuals very big numbers of people, so his prediction sounds logical for me there is a big possibility that this could really happen and i believe that this has a good effect on cryptocurrency prices, this sounds like cryptocurrency will be having a great future 10 years from now? This means many more country will be using crypto or what? Can i have your predictions? What is your thoughts on this statements?
While the CEO of Coinbase predicted that 1 Billion users will be hit in 10 to 20 years, the CEO of Crypto.com predicted the same amount of users but in a shorter amount of time. According to him, 1 Billion users will be hit by the end of 2022 base on this article from them: LINK

Between the 2 prediction, I think the CEO of Coinbase is more realistic and I think it will happen knowing that many can happen in the next 1 to 2 decades. At that time, there are more people already and we might see those kids at the present involving themselves into crypto. Anything can happen in that time span so I think it will happen and its reachable.

Butler has an off night and the Heat still come away with the win, and pretty convincingly.  On top of Joel Embiid being out, it certainly doesn’t help having the Heat with home court advantage. Not sure Harden is much of a star player being the only star out there. Almost kind of predictable him shooting poorly tonight. I think this is about how the rest of the series is going to look.

Butler having an off-night and Lowry not playing and yet they still won.
I don't know if what affects more in this game. Is it the depth of the roster of the Heat especially their bench players lead by Herro or the absence of Embiid in this game. Or lets add another one which is the performance of Harden in the 2nd half. From having a good performance in the first half to just 4 points in the 2nd half.

The Prime Harden is already gone. Gone are the days where he is scoring 25-30 points back when he is in Houston. Gone are the days where he is the main scorer of the team. I don't know if its the injury that hinders him or something that we don't know. Its only Game 1 and I think Sixers will make some adjustments into it and will play better without Embiid in Game 2. Good thing though is he "could" comeback in Games 3 & 4 and I hope he really will come back or they might be swept this time.

What if this rumor comes true ?
Then we might see again what happened when Elon hyped the coin a few years ago.
We might see DOGE pump again. While many people make money thru it, there will be more investors who will be put in misery as they will be FOMO'ed because of this.

I think lets not connect Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter and DOGE because there are still no signs for now that DOGE will be implemented on Twitter as a tipping tool (since it is most are saying and on the other hand, DOGE has been created as a tipping tool as well) but I will not be surprised though if he will add it since he has been a huge DOGE fan.
3249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 02, 2022, 11:00:18 AM

Game 1 was a must win for the Grizzlies for me to have a good chance of staying in the series because they can still utilize the element of surprise. Kerr and GSW veteran's playoff experience will manifest more and more as they head to the next games. Morant and the rest of his team can count on grit/fighting spirit I doubt that will be enough to advance to the next round.

Warriors are not happy with Green's ejection, for me, it doesn't look like an F2 or even a flagrant foul. We know Draymond's reputation but that was a soft foul based on my evaluation, but the refs see otherwise, so this conspiracy theory will come out now again.  Sad

Anyway, Warriors still win, and that's what matters.
I hope they'll sweep this Memphis team. KIDDING!
Its only Game 1 and many things can still happen throughout the series. We already saw Timberwolves stealing one on the road and yet they still lost 4-2.
I agree though that the experience of the Warriors will be their advantage against this young but talented Grizzlies team. Almost of them especially the core players has experience already in playoffs. I still believe though that the Grizzlies will make an adjustment and they might steal one on the road as well.

With regards to the ejection of Green, the referees are very soft that they called that a flagrant 2. Its playoffs and yet they still are that soft to the point that something like that is already a flagrant 2. Overall, I just hope that in the next games they will not be like that because its the playoffs and physicality will always be there because of their competitiveness. I don't think Kendrick Perkin's broomstick will not be used here (if you are watching in ESPN Cheesy) though there is a chance that it might happen. It already happened in the Nets-Celtics game but the chances of it to happen is very low Cheesy.
3250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: May 02, 2022, 10:48:14 AM
Just after Spence won against Ugas, Crawford already said that he wants to fight Spence.
The hype for this match is the same, if not higher than the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight back years ago.

Many fans are waiting for this to happen. Many analysts are waiting for this to happen. If this will happen, it might be a candidate for fight of the decade and fight of the year. TBH, its hard to predict which will be the winner of this one because both of them are very good fighters and both are undefeated. I will not predict until this match will happen.
3251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Warriors vs Grizzlies 2nd round discussion on: May 02, 2022, 08:55:40 AM
I think it is the Minnesota Timberwolves that looked weak late game in their series with Memphis that cost them games. Although at times they still managed to win but close. Memphis line up are young so they still continue with their pace from first to fourth quarter. What this young Memphis team lack is experience. I think the well experienced GSW will win this series 4-2.     
We already saw that they are inexperienced when it comes to playoffs thus, it costs their playoff chances.
Lets just remember that in the 4 wins that Memphis got against the Wolves, 3 of that 4 games had a point where the Timberwolves had a double-double lead but they can't manage to get the win. I can't say that they are weak though since they will not clinch the playoffs if they are weak team. Maybe the correct word is "inexperienced".

We just saw how close Game 1 is between these 2 teams and I think we are all expecting for a close series between these 2 teams. I'm a Warrior fan and I will pick the Warriors in 7 games. Homecourt advantage is a huge thing here but the Warriors manage to steal one from them.

Sa akin, kung go sila, go pa rin. Parang passive income pa rin naman pero sobrang baba nga lang. Abang nalang kung ano ba magiging result ng origin pagtapos nitong season 21.
Sana nga maging sulit din yung paghihintay at pagta-tyaga para naman sana makabawi kahit papano. Konti nalang naman na at parang satisfy na din ako.

Tama kaya ang tanging magagawa na muna natin sa ngayon ay maghintay nalang talaga ng susunod na update nila, kita naman din natin na tinatrabaho nila ang origin at intact parin yung institutional investor nila kaya sana pumaldo narin ulit tayo kung successful talaga ang pag release nila ng origin.
Abang at patience nalang talaga, tutal andyan na yan tapos sobrang baba na din. Kung magbebenta naman at loss parang hindi satisfying kaya yun nalang ang plano ko din, hindi ako mag cut loss.
Patapusin nalang yung season 21 tapos pag pasok ng origin baka doon na rin talaga papalo ulit at babalik yung mga players kapag mamodify pa nila yung rules ng laro.

Kahit masakit na sa mata yung galawan ng slp kailangan parin natin talaga magtiwala dahil wala naman talaga tayong magagawa kundi maghintay at sana makakita naman tayo ng magandang resulta sa origin, pero di ko talaga gusto gameplay ng origin  Cheesy. Sana graphics nalang nila binago at yung gameplay ganun parin dahil mas nag e-enjoy ako sa existing kaysa dun sa bagong ilalabas nila.
Kahit ako hindi ko rin nagustuhan ang gameplay ng origin sa ngayon pero since nasa early access phase pa tayo, mag-expect tayo ng maraming mga changes sa future.
Panoorin nyo ung gameplay ng Axie Infinity noong nagsisimula pa lang. Nasa around 13-minute mark ung start ng game play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QDDxVFmzz0.
Pangit ung gameplay (para sa akin) at RNG based rin pero habang tumatagal nagkakaroon ng changes at unti unting nagustuhan ng mga naglalaro. Isa pa ay magugustuhan rin natin ung Origin kapag nag shutdown na ung Classic version. May mga pagbabago pa yan sa future Smiley

Tungkol naman sa SLP, bagsak kasi ang market ngayon kaya nadadamay mga altcoins pati SLP at kagaya ng iba panibagong burning mechanism na lang ang hinihintay natin para at least tumaas kahit papaano ang SLP. Naalala ko na naman tuloy ung Pegaxy na sinasabi nilang "Axie Killer" noon at kung ano ang nangyayari sa VIS token ngayon. Dating 12 PHP ngaun nasa 0.04 PHP na lang.
3253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 01, 2022, 11:33:02 PM
Without Embiid I do not think that there is any chance that Sixers will win, but at the same time I am very sad for Harden who believed that he finally got the players he needed around him to have a chance to win the title only for it to taken away with a injury that happened when their win was already secured, such a big disappointment.

Miami will definitely be in ECF for sure, there is no doubt about that. Let's see what happens though, if it takes too quick, like a sweep then it would be better and they can rest, if not then they will be facing a very tough opponent next round whoever comes, they need to end this very quickly if they can.
Even Embiid is playing, I will not pick the 76ers to win in this series against the Miami Heat.
He will not play in the first 2 games but "could" return in Games 3 & 4. Take note of the word "could" because there is a chance that he might not come back as well depending on the results of the test in his injury. Hope he can come back soon though.

Now is the time for Harden and others to step up especially in their offense. They lose a player who can give you 25+ point double-double in every game. They can play small ball with Harden as their point guard but losing a big like Embiid is really a hit for the team. They don't have a reliable second big which I already said right after the Nets-Sixers trade. With a healthy Embiid, I'll go with Heat in 7 still but without him in some of the games I think this will end in 5 games or 6.
3254  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How was last crypto bear market on: April 29, 2022, 03:18:19 PM
This question is for those that are here when bear market of 2018 stormed the crypto space, how doesn't it feel like? All those staking for perceive income makes sense at all? Or returns went so bad and makes staking looks like a bad idea? How does it felt like.
As a newbie at that time, I felt that it would be the end for cryptocurrency.
Started in 2017, I saw what happened to 2018 as a newbie. Now I'm calling that year "A year of Hell". Right now, it is the worst year that I've seen in crypto.

Coins going down, investors lacking confidence in investing at that time. People are panicking and a negative news that is being spread in the internet will make Bitcoin even go lower and altcoins will follow it. Market can be manipulated easily at that time. If you are there and you are a newbie, you will feel the feeling that this might be the time that cryptocurrency will end. On the other hand though, I know that those experts and has been in crypto for a long time see that 2018 crash as an opportunity for them to accumulate more. Now they are the ones who are happy because they are the ones who got the most profit.

I don't know if there are but if you bought Bitcoin in the peak of 2017 at $20,000, tried to held it until now then you doubled your money in 5 years. In crypto, this is very long considering how volatile crypto is but still doubling your money is better than losing some of your capital after 5 years.
3255  Economy / Economics / Re: What should be a good ROI for a startup? on: April 29, 2022, 02:52:09 PM
According to you, what should be the ROI for newly launched startups?
I think instead of thinking of an ROI if you are a newbie, think of a way to survive. Doing research always, find the trend, your location, the target of your business that you are building etc. etc.
What I mean when I said survive is that how will you survive in the succeeding years to come. What will you do if something bad happen to your business?
This pandemic really affects the business sector especially the small and the medium ones that they need to stop it because they are losing money. Its a good thing that some are going back again to their usual business and recovering from their past losses. There will and always be negative events and things in business always so better to think of ways to surpass them instead of thinking too much of the ROI. I'm not saying that don't return your investment but don't focus on it.

My views are around 15% per annum but it would take around 6.6 years to earn the initial amount back. Would it be a bad decision?
No it isn't a bad decision at all. Most of the business especially the small ones doesn't last long and if you're business will last for 6.6 years then it will be a successful one. Successful companies right now took years in order for them to be successful. I just remember Alibaba of Jack Ma where it took 14 years before they will become successful.
3256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: April 29, 2022, 02:35:14 PM
Celtics game 1 and 2 and the rest will be Bucks game. Giannis is on different level than KD when it comes to playoffs because he can solo carry his team using his beast power in both offense and defense. Boston is really strong this season but Giannis still Giannis even without Middleton. He can make through the way out of Celtics game. This will be a very interesting game since there will be a lot of physicality coming from both of this team. This will be a good betting opportunity for those handicap bet type lover.

Nobody is expecting that someone in Celtics can totally stop Giannis, but still it's a team play. If the Celtics are going to be consistent offensively, regardless of how unstoppable Giannis is they could still beat the Bucks.
Celtics defense has been improved and there are new good additional role players who has been performing well alongside Tatum and Brown. Daniel Theis who I always see as an undersized center is doing good as well.
So, yeah this is going to be good match up regardless of who wins the series.
If its only one Celtics defender then there really isn't.
On the other hand though, that is why the Celtics are the best defensive right now. Because they are good in rotation that even though they will double team someone, they can still run thru other players and at least alter the shot. They aren't giving free open shots to their opponents.

I might be too optimistic with the Celtics since I predicted them to be the winners of this series but the Bucks can still win if they will make a way to stop Tatum. I think Holiday will be defending him since he is their best defender though he lacks height compare to Tatum. Three point will also help them as well as the Bucks have many shooters as well and of course Giannis dominating the paint. Overall, I agree that this will be a good series and this might end in 7 games (fingers cross since the Nets/Celtics series didn't end up in 7 games) Cheesy.

Here’s a recent video where Kitco (a highly respected precious metals dealer) interviews the infamous Dr Craig Wright. I am still absolutely and utterly amazed at how many people legitimately think he’s Satoshi. I’ve watched a lot of videos of Craig, but this is maybe the most lying I’ve ever seen him do, one thing after another.

Let’s see how many lies we can point out and discuss..

https://youtu.be/BnPiH6OLLa0

(Sorry Craig, sue me)
I will not click that video. It will make the video more popular Cheesy.

Kidding aside, its simple to prove that he is Satoshi. Just move the 1 million that he have (if he really is Satoshi) into another wallet or just sell it if he wants to if he really is Satoshi. Why making things complicated if you can prove it in just one simple transaction? Ohh wait because the reality is he really isn't Satoshi but Faketoshit. Its quite unfortunate to see though that despite of many people saying that he isn't the real Satoshi, there are still investors who believes in him. He can do this all the time as long as he is alive and in the end, not all will believe in him.

Since the success of GMT token (Step'N) few new fitness projects are showing up, today I come across another named FITFI aka Step app, is this the next feeding field for developers? Crypto keeps looking more like a race to make fast money from a hype before it's gone, no wonder we have so many unserious developers today.
GMT or Step'N is a combination of NFT and Fitness since you need to buy NFT in order to have some earning mechanism (correct me though if I'm wrong).
I've seen Sweatcoin in the past and its the same as this one where you will be paid just by doing some exercises like jogging etc.

Now with regards to Fitness projects as the hype, it might as well since we've seen GMT's price rising. We might see similar projects as with Step'n with a little bit of a tweaks in the future. Another hype, another way to scam investors again and another way to make some rug pulls again Cheesy.

What the F Chris Paul! Literally perfect game for him, 14/14 with 33 points and all contribution to 3pts, reb and assist. He is a monster especially when Booker injured. His tandem with Ayton very strong despite the strong defense and offense of Pelicans. Glad I bet with them during half time with 3.0 odds. Phoenix is back again!
He will not be called the "Point God" for no reason.
That record is the most number of Field Goals without a miss in NBA history. If I remember correctly, Nene was holding that record during the Warriors-Rockets match-up where the Warriors won 4-2.

Its a good thing as well that Booker came back even with limited minutes. With Booker having limited minutes, its good thing as well that they have Bridges and Johnson that can step up offensively but with how deep their roster is I believe that anybody can help offensively.

You'll get an odds like 1.25 I think, and by the way, Booker already played in the last game of the Suns but he is not 100% yet because he only made 13 points which is not his usual figure.
Not his usual figure though I agree but still he returned and played even though he isn't the usual Booker that we've used to see. He got the Mamba Mentality where he will go out there and play as long as he can, like Kobe was doing when he is playing. I don't expect too that he will be 100% during their series with the Mavericks but I think they can beat them.
