Anything is possible in crypto. In crypto, expect the unexpected. Cheesy
The ATH of MATIC is near 3$ so there is a chance that it might reach that price again. Its only a matter of when it will happen but on the other hand there is also a chance that it might also not happen.

Overall, the project is good and its still in development as well. Many NFT games such as Pegaxy are being created under Polygon blockchain and I think more projects will be created under that chain because of its low transaction fees and faster speed. I'm also thinking of holding some Polygon in the future. Cheesy.

My plus 20.5 for GSW got eaten alive by the Grizzlies. I thought they can recover to the massive points advantage during the second half of the game. The game become completely even during 3rd to 4th quarter of the game which gives them no room forma recovery. This is my first time to lose on a GSW plus handicap bet. I thought Jordan Poole can manage ro compensate Curry and Klay absence since 20 points is already a huge margin since GSwpW bench is solid. My greediness betray me this time.
If I were in your position I'd take the same bet and be angry about it.
That's +20.5 which is like a fair position to win but the Warriors can't find who will be their offensive man except for Poole. It should've been Wiggins but no, his stats are back to being inconsistent after the All Star.
Moody helped out but was not enough and they keep on letting their defense be broken.
I think what they are missing is someone who will move without the ball and the screen plays which I don't see anymore. Almost everything is an isolation play.

The curse of being a first time all star, hehehe, seriously though, the Warriors have bee struggling even after the All-Star and then it was compounded when Steph got injured. And then Memphis really playing high caliber basketball with or without Ja Morant, they are a bit scary in the West and I think they will be a tough team to played on in the play-off. I skip betting on this game though.
This Memphis Grizzlies team has a high morale coming into the playoffs because on how good they are.
Currently sitting at the 2nd spot, the Grizzlies just made an upset by defeating the 3rd seeded Warriors which is I agree that they are struggling just after the All-Star Weekend. Now with regards to the playoffs, I want the TWolves to stay at the 7th spot though so that they are the ones that Memphis will face in the first round and I think it will be easy for them to defeat the TWolves.

Overall, Grizzlies are a great team this season but playoffs will be a bit different and knowing that most of the players in the team don't have that much experience in the playoffs I think it might affect their whole performance as a team.

What happened to LA is more of a mental lapse IMO. Although I understand the conspiracy theory, I don't think they would do it in a semi-finals and I doubt they would instruct the players to drop the game on a nationally televised game. If ever there was a plan to extend the series, it's easier (less obvious) to get the referees do the job.
I respect your opinion but he has been playing for a long time already, enough for him not to make crucial mistakes "TWICE" in a very crucial match. Lets take note the word "TWICE" here because a single mistake is understandable but to make it twice... still I think there is something wrong either they want more revenue or they are just too confident to win the series that is why they just gave 1 win to NLEX.

On the other hand though, there might be a chance that a professional player like him can experience mental breakdown like you said. I just hope that this will not happen again either to him or to other Ginebra players as well or NLEX will upset them as the momentum will shift if NLEX win again in Game 4.

What alternative coin's can one hurdle for 5years ?
TBH, its hard to know what altcoins will be the best to invest in that time span because many can change on that 5 years.
You might see Altcoin X at the top 10 and after a year or two, it will be below top 100 already. On the other hand, you can see an altcoin out of nowhere that will be in the top 10 or top 5.

Maybe the altcoins that I will suggest to hold on a 5 year span is ETH, LTC, BNB, LINK, XRP. They are at the top already in terms of market cap for quite some time though some of them went down but some went up. Ethereum remained at the 2nd spot thus, I consider this a valuable altcoin to hold for a span of 5 years.
3386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH is a centralized SCAM and will drop to $30 again on: March 28, 2022, 01:15:43 PM
Why do people go in ETH now or trust ETH now when the secret to success was to buy ETH at $0.25 or $10?

When now you are better off going in projects that are like early eth for example koinos which the devs work relentlessy on daily as you can see on github but its still so cheap as eth was day1 so this is a chance to make $100k from $100 while eth is not only making the rich richer
Nahh no need to argue with what you are saying. I saw your posts and some of them are just promoting this Koinos token that has a low market cap.
Maybe you are holding a huge chunk of this token that is why you are advertising it indirectly and creating threads like this.

As a more conservative investor, I'd rather invest into the top coins than in the bottom coins which has a low market cap thus the chances of it to fail is higher. I'd rather go into a low risk low reward route than high risk high reward one. Go advertise your token and good luck and not at least criticize ETH because ETH is way better than the token that you are advertising.

What can you say about LA Tenorio's last play guys? Cheesy

He is known to be a buzzer-beater guy and truly aware of how much time is left. Downed by 3, 7 seconds remaining, no timeout, inbound from the other courtside, still, he really push for a 2-point play. It needs at least 4-5 seconds to bring down the ball and what if there's a defense, it will extend the time of handling.

The bottom line is you can't expect another ball possession that's why you have to go for the 3 points to seal the win. Cheesy

He is the Filipino version of JR Smith when he held the ball during the Finals against the Warriors where they got swept. Cheesy

Kidding aside though, maybe he's kinda confused on what happened and maybe his crucial turnover led him to mental breakdown to the point that he also forgot the score. I'm like "WHAT!!!!!!!" while watching the game. Like what happened?

On the contrary though, there is a question that came to my mind after watching saying that "What if they really gave up that game so that the series will be extended. More game = more revenue and more entertainment for the fans?" Lets take note also that when Ginebra is playing, the venue is almost full so more audiences = more revenue Cheesy. Its only a question out of my curiosity though and it might be true.

Well, the game is over already and lets move on. At least my Meralco team is one win away from reaching the Finals against Magnolia Cheesy. Another problem of Magnolia also is Paul Lee got injured on his foot. When they need him the most that is also the time that he will get injured. :X
3388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 28, 2022, 12:14:03 PM
The Boston Celtics are the best right now and the team will face them in the first round will be in trouble since this team has been doing so well that they cannot stop winning in their 6th straight game which makes them the number one seed today. If they won't lose in their next remaining games, they will secure this number one spot and most likely they will go against the Brooklyn Nets.
~
Since after the all-star last February, the Celtics won 13 in their last 15 games which is quite insane. They are also one of the best teams defensively and all of their starters are at the top in terms of defense. From the 10th spot to now the top seeded team in the East.

I think lets forget the Sixers a bit or the Heat and lets focus on this Celtics team because they are the team to be reckoned with. No one is talking too much about them here but to be at the 10th to now 1st is a big achievement for them. The changing of coach might helped a bit but the combination of Tatum and Brown are just one of the best duos now in the league. Many are talking about one of them getting traded because on how they played at the start of the season but they proved them wrong and now they are one of the best duos and maybe we can put now the Celtics in the championship conversations. Smiley

Maybe this is out of the topic since it happened days ago but if you watched the Nets-Heat game then you will notice this sign coming from Drummond.

It's a meme that I saw in Facebook hours ago. They say it is the new logo of NBA Cheesy. Just shared it here because I saw it very funny Cheesy

Should we have to believe this?
His bullish prediction maybe is based on the Stock to Flow model.

There are times where we aren't expecting Bitcoin to reach X price but it is surprising us and it reaches that price in a short amount of time. I'm not saying that this price target will not be reached and even I'm very bullish on Bitcoin long term, reaching that price in just 2 years would be nearly impossible though I'm not removing the fact that it can. It can surprise us like what it is doing for a very long time already. Who knows? We might see it or we might not but I don't think that relying on just mere predictions is a good thing but just stick with the strategy that we built.

For me, I'm not believing in his prediction even though I'm bullish but I will not be surprised if it reaches that price in 2 years.
3390  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH future on: March 26, 2022, 03:59:22 PM
I fear for ETH future, almost all smart contract projects are using the PoS staking algorithm but only ETH PoW stands alone, this makes ETH different and one of a kind smart contract project, I think vitalik buterin will regret is decision after ETH goes PoS.
There has been a plan regarding the transition of Ethereum from POW to POS and I think if that will be implemented, many of the current problems of Ethereum right now will be solved like Tx speed and fee (not sure though).

No need to fear if you are an investor since it has retained its spot for a very long time already. No one has surpassed Ethereum in terms of market cap aside from Bitcoin of course. With regards to its competitors though, most of the other smart contract coins are faster and have cheaper fees compare to Ethereum.

NLEX is already kick out on this semis as they can’t solve there issue againts Ginebra.
I might disagree with this.
A 2-0 deficit is very different from a 3-0 deficit and NLEX isn't like a bottom team because they will adjust coming into Game 3. Basketball is like a chess match where if you don't know how to adjust before and during the game then you will lose.

I mean its too early to say that NLEX will be kicked out because I still believe that they will get at least 1 win before losing. I think that the changes of import impacted the whole chemistry of the team unlike in Ginebra where their import has been playing with them for a long time already thus, the chemistry is there. We know how huge the impact of chemistry with how they are playing.


Meralco vs Magnolia, it's a close game. We can't speculate who will win the series right away.

I would still vote for the Magnolia to win in the series, but I think they'll go down to the wire and there will be a game 5 in the series. While Ginebra would try to rest as early as possible, the other teams are just like playing a chess match making the right adjustment in every game.
I hate to see SMC Vs. SMC in the PBA Finals but it seems that many are thinking that MAG and Ginebra will be the ones to fight in the NBA Finals so.. just to be different from all of you I will go for Meralco with this 3-2.

If you will watch the whole game, you will see how good Meralco is in terms of defense. Even the top seeded Magnolia are having a hard time driving inside and score. Its just that Bishop didn't play well in Game 1 that is why they lost and when he played better in Game 2, they won. I'm going with Meralco because I want to see Ginebra and Meralco battle again in Finals. Its better if we will watch MVP Vs. SMC rather than SMC Vs. SMC which is kinda boring to watch at least for me.

If Davis will make it in the first week of next month, then he will have a chance to help the team win in the play-in tournament.

Question is, how big he could contribute to the team.

We've seen Draymond Green after a long rest due to injury, in his return he wasn't contributing as his normal contribution, so what I'm saying is that Davis will have to readjust again to get back on his game, and every game may cause the Lakers an L .

Remember that San Antonio Spurs could overtake the Lakers if they won't be consistent, their record are very close now and Spurs are in a winning streak.

I also said to Davis back when he got his first injury that when he comes back, he will not be as efficient as he is but I was wrong and he put huge numbers and he is as efficient as he is though I still say that he is really fragile and injury prone. Maybe Green can still feel his injury until now and I don't think that he needs to put huge numbers in his name but just his mere presence in the court is enough to boost the morale of the team.

Pelicans, Lakers and Spurs are the ones who are fighting at the 9th and 10th spot. It would be very disappointing for the Lakers if they will be the ones who will be eliminated and will not enter the play-in tournament. I want Lakers though to enter at least the play-in Smiley. Maybe Spurs and Lakers Cheesy.

ICO never came back, IEO is not trending anymore do you think that metaverse won't vanish in near future? It's like every trending crypto hype will fade away sooner or later and new thing will come around again, are we just going around in circles?.
Is going around in circles and "cycle" kinda the same? Because for me I'd rather use the word cycle than going around in circles.
I can call it as "Hype Cycle" where certain industries are becoming the hype in crypto and that is where most of the investors either make their money or lose their money.

ICO, IEO, DeFi and now Metaverses and NFT's. I'm pretty sure this cycle will goes on and on and on and it will not stop as long as there are new projects that are being made. For sure there will be another hype that will emerge in the next years.

The series is now tied for Magnolia vs Meralco, while Ginebra is in a 2-0 lead.

Great defense by the Meralco, they were able to limit Paul lee and he struggles in the game.
Paul Lee only scored 10 points and had a very poor shooting night with 3/16 FGM/A.

Congratulations to them, the series is getting more exciting unlike the NLEX vs Ginebra series where NLEX could possibly be sweep.
All is well in the Game 2 of Magnolia and Meralco and we know that Meralco will win it already but what is that no call of shot clock violation at the final seconds of the game? I mean if you watched the game, you will see that the referees didn't make a shot clock violation with the Meralco thus many audiences and I mean many are booing the referees which they deserve. Its almost the same as the bubble where a referee called a foul to a non-contact between Lee and Heruela if you can still remember that controversial call. Still congratulations for the Meralco and the series is tied Smiley.

On the other series, Brownlee stepped up and scored 32 points and the best player of the game as well. I don't think that Coach Yeng will let Ginebra sweep them but they will at least get a win even though many are already predicting that Ginebra will advance to the Finals. I just saw a post on Facebook a while ago (can't remember what page posted it) but it says that Brownlee has been the import of Ginebra for 4 Governor's Cup and with that 4 seasons they won 3 championships. This season is the 5th one and they are just one win away from going to the Finals again.
3395  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this true? on: March 25, 2022, 12:30:59 PM
Altcoins that are released in the bear market have a high chance of bringing good returns than those that have already surged high in a bull market, this is what a friend told me this morning, do you think this is true? He used Vulcan forged as an example
There is a quote that I often heard and it says that "You make most of your money in a bear market, you just don’t realize it at the time."

Just looking at that quote itself, its obvious that you can get higher returns when the bear market comes because after that bear market is a bull market and those who took the risk to buy at the bottom will be the ones who will prosper because they will be the ones who will get the highest returns. There is an exception though since we are talking about altcoins here.

There are some altcoins who are going down in a bear market and if the bear market ends and its in the bull market, some altcoins isn't going up at all or in short they are becoming stagnant or no movement at all so if the bear market comes better buy the top coins so the chances of them going up in a bull market is higher compare to low market cap altcoins.

Even before James got injured, we all know that something is wrong with the team, the chemistry, playing small and then the whole Westbrook fiasco (bad shooting performance, lots of errors).

So it's obvious that when James was sideline, half of their feet was already on not making the playoffs and now they are down in the playoff spot. And even if Davis comes back to play, it will be very difficult to overhaul the current state of the team.
Well, we all agree with what you said regarding the current state of the team and its state when James is injured.
Chemistry isn't there. Westbrook isn't playing like what most of the analysts and fans are expecting. Davis is injury prone and obviously James can't carry the whole team without any help from other players.

I will not be surprised though if the Lakers can't clinch into the playoffs because on how they are playing the whole regular season. I think Davis' comeback can give some spark to the team (kinda optimistic with him) but still isn't enough for them to be added in the championship conversation. I just hope that the Laker fans isn't disappointed on how they played this season or... there are some who just became a Laker fan because Lebron is there isn't it? Bandwagons Cheesy
3397  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Play to earn game tokens on: March 25, 2022, 11:45:02 AM
Axie Infinity, Gala and Enjin are my picks.
I chose them because I believe that these three will be there for quite some time and will continue to develop for the future. Enjin has been there since 2017 and until now it is still developing.

If you may, maybe you can add other tokens like GOG (Guild of Guardians) token and ILV (Illuvium) token. Overall, investing not only in P2E game tokens but in crypto as a whole still has risk so in the end at least make a research first before investing and always be ready into whatever may happen to your investment.

These players are the speculated target players of the Converge Team.

They choose Jeron Teng as their main player and will do their best to surround him with good teammates. I just don't know how they can possibly sign these players:

RJ Jazul
Jamie Malonzo
Matthew Wright
Mo Tautaa
Javee Mocon
Greg Slaughter
Rashawn McCarthy
Troy Rosario
Isaac Go

From this list, I think  Greg Slaughter is the only possible player that they can sign.
Most of them are in the independent teams like McCarthy, Go, Mocon, Malonzo, Wright.
If they can get all of these players then they can be a playoff contender instantly because on how explosive most of the players are like Malonzo, Wright, Rosario. They can build a good starting 5 and maybe a good 5-man bench players as well.

On the other hand though, I don't think that most of the teams will just let their players go unless they are a free agent. Well, its just a speculation after all but IMO I don't think that they can get all or at least most of the players listed above just because I don't believe that their respective teams will let them go.
3400  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 24, 2022, 11:29:12 PM
We've seen 4 players scored 20+ or more in the Warriors showing that they can still be a deadly team without their core players.
It's their system that gave them the win, when the star players are not playing, there's no star player in the court and anyone could shoot the ball so the ball movement is very efficient leading to more open shots. Or, my theory is the Heat may not play it seriously as they are too overconfident they could beat the short-handed Warriors.
Well, that is why Coach Steve Kerr is one of the best coaches of all time alongside Coach Spo and Coach Pop.
His system is a perfect fit for the whole Warriors team and it will continue to be like that as long as he is the head coach of the team.
 
Los Angeles Lakers are trying their best to stay in the area to be able to qualify for the playoffs. But they got another disappointing loss last night against Philadelphia 76ers this time. It was a loss by 121-126 home and 76ers' second half effort was really superb that it had a big role in this victory. Lebron James couldn't play due to injury. And I saw D. Howard playing this much good for the first time after a long break. Harden and Embiid had a really good day and made big contributions to 76ers.
When Lebron is injured, the Lakers are done for the season and that is a fact.
Aside from him, nobody in the team can step up and carry the team. Who can? Westbrook who is very inconsistent all throughout the season. No one can carry the team aside from Lebron or maybe if Davis and Westbrook plays together. Lebron is also the starting Center of the team and since he is injured, its obvious that Howard is their second option thus they gave him more playing time. I just hope that Lebron will be back in their next game against the Pelicans and its a must win for them or they will go down to 10th spot.
