Most of the rich people are businessmen right? Since most of them are businessmen, they know how it works and its business model thus they will not risk their hard earned money just to gamble. Though we see some rich people gambling still, they are just gambling for fun for sure and those poor and average people are gambling for money.

The problem with average and poor Joe's is that they think gambling as their ticket to be rich where in fact it isn't but its the complete opposite. Gambling is their ticket to be poorer.

Its not related to the topic but its under gambling as well. I've seen people that has addicted into gambling here in our country that has been reported in news. The reason? They are stealing money from other people. They are fighting against their family for some reasons (they have mental issues because of gambling). Some are even going to jail because they are doing bad things. These are just some of the negative effects of gambling. I'm not saying though that don't gambling since its our decision but gamble moderately.

Its happening already. Bitcoin is around $35.6k as of this moment base on Coingecko.
The rejection of $40,000 is the reason why it is going downwards again and unfortunately, this downward trend might continue for weeks to months so I hope everyone is ready for it.

We might see Bitcoin again @$30,000 like what happened last year because of what is happening right now globally. No good things happening that can increase the price of the market right now. US stocks are down as well. If you have spare money, plan your buying price already because for me I already planned mine . I hope nobody is panicking right now on what is happening.

Well, I agree that you need money to get more money.
On the other hand though even you have the money, you will only get more money if you know how to grow that money you have.

The worst part is you are saving your money in fiat for no reason.
I have been saving fiat money in my bank but it has a reason why I put some on my bank account. It is my emergency funds if something bad happens. The problem with some bank users is that, they are putting their money in their account for no reason. They don't know that inflation is eating their money and how much is the interest of a bank? Here in our country the average is around 1% per annum which is insane.

I don't know what my life is right now if I didn't learn how to invest. I might still be depending on my 8-5 work.
Crypto is the reason why I learned how to invest. It is the reason why I'm into investing right now. Because of crypto, I tried to learn to invest into other assets like stocks and bonds etc. Rich people have investments either stocks or business etc. and no employee became rich just because of working from 8-5 so investing is the key to financial freedom .

There is nothing wrong with saving money as long as you have purpose into it but the worst thing to do in your life is to not invest at all for the long term.

Lets go Celtics!!!

I still go with Celtics with this one even though the Bucks stole one on the road. I believe that they will do again what they did in Game 2 where they won by a huge margin and that is shoot more threes and let Horford defend Giannis. Defending Giannis is hard we know but rotation is the key. Smart and Middleton, their best defender and top scorer is gone for the series so I think its a tie. Defense matters in playoffs and we saw it in the Nets-Celtics match-up. I think the Celtics will take one or might be both games in the road .

Embiid is ruled as out in Game 3 but if there is some progress in his injury then he might play. LINK
There is is a high chance that he might be out for Game 3 but if he will play, it will be limited minutes and not as productive as he was in his past games and worse he might be a liability because of missed shots.

Embiid most likely will not play in Game 3 I think. One thing more is that the Sixers are 0-13 when trailing 0-2 in a best of 7 series and no team ever came back after having a 0-3 deficit so... I think right now we can already say that this series is over. Might be too early but lets just see the availability and performance of their star players.

Harden can't carry anymore and can't score like when he is in Houston. Maxey played better in Game 2 but its obvious that it isn't enough.

Gold and Silver have been there for a long time thus, they offer lesser profit since they are less volatile compare to Bitcoin that has been there for only 12+ years.
It depends on your risk appetite and time frame as well. If you want to hold something for long term then you might consider either the three of them but Bitcoin is more riskier than the 2 metals.

After all, it will all comes to your risk management. As for me, I'm a bit young so I will be more aggressive when it comes to investing and I would rather choose Bitcoin to invest my money with. At least I believe that it will go higher in the long run and it will give me more profit than Gold and Silver.

To answer your question, Bitcoin will go down but I don't think it will be 99%. Its a bit exaggerated if you will ask me.
On the other hand though, I don't expect Dow Jones to go down 80%.
Will Bitcoin drop 80% though? There is a chance since it already happened in 2018 but the chances of it to happen is very low because that time and this time is different  but it can  happen still.

How sharply? Hmmmmm maybe its lower than we could've ever imagine or it might be the opposite as well. When people don't invest in these markets, investors sees it as an opportunity and they will buy more. We saw what happened in 2020 where a few days after the crash, all of the markets went up significantly. Its because they see it as an opportunity to accumulate assets at a lower price. Exact numbers? I don't know though.

There is still a chance that this will happen but for me, I don't think that will happen. The market cap of crypto at that time is lower that is why coins such as Bitcoin and others can easily go down as they have a lower market cap and can be manipulated easier. This time 2022, the market cap is higher so I don't think that what happen in 2018 will happen again this year since there are more investors right now and the mindset of investors in 2018 and 2022 are completely different.

In 2018, one big news can make the market go pump or dump. Now 2022, news doesn't affect the market anymore or if there is its effect is very little to none so for me I think that will not happen anymore.

---

In a bull market, projects emerge and most if not all of them will immediately go up because it is a bull market. However in a bear market it will be a complete opposite situation. Its a "survival of the fittest" time where those projects that can't survive in the bear market will just go down, get abandoned and die and those who survive will be the ones who will be successful and will see another bull market .

Celtics in 7 .
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 .

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 . 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.

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 . 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.

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.

Crypto is working effectively already (for me) even though it is rising or falling and its completely normal so... just live with it .

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 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.

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.

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 ) 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 .

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.

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.

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

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.
