Poor Northport. They are in advantage at most part of the game but ended up losing. Robert Bolick is a mess. He is doing great in the early periods but what happened at the end. He feels he is the main hero of the team. His gameplay becomes selfish.

Bolick feels he can do anything disregarding any of his teammates chance to make a good gameplay instead.
I saw also his selfishness against the TNT.
There is a possession at the final minutes of the 4th quarter where he is holding the ball for a very long time and even Artis is asking for the ball already but instead of giving it to him, he instead made a very contested three point shot and ended up as an airball and a turnover as well. I saw that and I didn't move for quite some time while thinking about what happened. That is where I saw Bolick's selfishness especially in the crucial moments of the game. I know that he is a great player but as a great player, you must know what is the best for the team as well and including that is to involve them and not being selfish. I don't know but if he will continue like this, they might trade him because that may cause their win.

Phoenix will now face their former player Calvin Abueva and like to see their reunion matchup with his co-main scorer back then, Matthew Wright.
Magnolia will win with this one that's for sure Smiley. I'm not disregarding Phoenix but with how they played the whole conference, I believe that they will win with this although.

That was an ugly game from the Lakers. You won't even see any efforts to defend and Booker just keeps on shooting with no one around him.
It's a one sided victory without even a little resistance, not entertaining at all.  Cheesy
You can also see on Lebron's face how frustrated he is. I think he realized now that he cannot do it all for the team. Missing the playoffs will be their better choice and start again next year or he could exhaust himself until the last drop of his sweat.
I also saw a short video on Youtube regarding Lebron getting exhausted as well and at the same frustrated like you said because of how they are playing this game and possible this season.

Westbrook? Nahh he is doing Westbrook things as always. 13 points 2 rebounds and 2 assists. It seems like Lebron is doing what he did on Cleveland where he carried his team the whole way but this time, he can't do it anymore since most of his teammates are either old and cannot defend or... the morale isn't there anymore. On the other hand though, I think that the Lakers can still go to playoffs if the roster is complete with AD. We don't know but AD might boost the morale of the team when he comes back. Just hoping that if he comes back "again", he will not get injured until the end of this season.

I tried to invest I think around 50$ for this coin and held for a month. Even though the total amount of SAFEMOON is increasing because of its feature where when there is seller, a portion will go to the holder, it isn't enough for it to cover my losses and in the end I lost nearly 80% of my total capital.

The Era of meme coins is over already. Meme coins like SAFEMOON isn't a "safe" investment anymore and its safer to just invest into the top coins. Lesser reward but lesser risk.

I tried to watch some crypto influencers on Youtube that is talking about different projects but I'm not following what they are saying. Maybe I'm just watching it just because I just want to watch that's all Cheesy. Unfortunately, these crypto influencers have a huge reach in their respective channels that is why there are some who are just following what they are saying and they will follow them until they suffer a loss.

Either way, following the advices or the projects they are saying of these crypto influencers are a bad idea but just do your own research if you want to or maybe the best thing to do if you are lazy doing research is just focus on top 10 coins but being lazy most of the time will lead you to losses Smiley.

Now that the eliminations are over here are the picture of the bracket

Now the NorthPort and Phoenix will fight for the final spot and it will happen after 2 days. Do you think that this will be enough for Artis to rest knowing that he played 53 minutes tonight??

The TNT vs Ginebra is a really good match-up to watch. For me, this is like a PBA Finals because Ginebra is a strong team and TNT were the champ last season, so I'm expecting to see a very close and entertaining quarterfinal. Import vs import, I think Ginebra has the edge, but on locals TNT has.
The odds on this match-up is different if only Pringle is playing but unfortunately he isn't that is why they are at the bottom spot of the playoffs.

I'm also going for TNT for this one not because of their import but because of their locals. Mikey Williams is just a monster when he got his rhythm and their import Fuller isn't a pure shooter like other imports but his rebounding skills are just insane and he always gets a double-double. Either way, anything can happen and we might see an upset here. First round it its MVP Vs. SMC already Cheesy.

On the other hand, I'm curious on how NLEX will play this time especially now that they have a different import coming playoffs.

Nobody talking about LeBron James putting up 50 points for the second time in a week? This one was a pretty efficient shooting game as he went 18 of 25 from the field in the win. Unfortunately, he had to carry the team himself because Westbrook only got 5 points on 2 of 11 shots from the field. You hate to see it. I really hope Russ gets things figured out before the season ends and it looks like they could use AD back as soon as possible if they want to make the post season. Good win tonight though over Kuz and company.
That's the good thing. Lebron at his age can still put up 50 points twice in a single week and both of them are wins and correct me but he is the first players to score 50 points 2 consecutive times in their home. He is pretty efficient indeed and he had to carry the game because.... well there are no help from other teammates.

On the other hand though, that is the problem with the Lakers right now. Who will carry the team to victory if Lebron is having a bad night? Russ?? He has the "possible" worst season of his whole career and I don't see him as reliable right now as he is when he is in other teams. I mean lets not expect him to carry the team if Lebron isn't playing or having a bad night. Well, at least he got 9 assists though. Many are waiting for AD to come back again but... we know that he is injury prone and we've seen it over and over again. He comes back then after few games will get injured and sit down. I think they must trade him since he is injury prone.

tl;dr
A wall of words. Somebody from here as well taught me that at least when you are posting many words, at least make some double spaces into it so that it will be readable and pleasing in the reader's eyes.

Now with regards to BTC dropping, there is only one answer for that. It isn't the events that is happening right now but its the sentiment of the investors.
We know that the market is heavily driven by the sentiments of the investors. We've seen negative news already like China banning ICO's in 2017 where it is hype but what happened? The market rose at that time and Bitcoin went up to $20,000. Now the Ukraine-Russia war is happening which is a negative news as well and the price of the market went down because they see it as a negative that's why they sold their holdings.

Sentiments or emotions of the investors is the main reason why the market is moving and it isn't only applied in the crypto market but in the stock market as well.
3448  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What should I invest in? on: March 11, 2022, 01:44:06 PM
I would avoid putting everything on the same basket, i.e., I would invest at least in three instead of one. Maybe Bitcoin, and some from top 10 and some new alt coin with potential / use case.
~
If you want to diversify your portfolio, better to diversify trough other investment not crypto space e.g. real estate, stock, gold etc. This will prevent the risk if crypto market goes unhealthy.
A good advice.
I agree with what he said that diversifying your portfolio doesn't mean that it is only on the cryptocurrency but other assets as well like the ones he said already as well or maybe add investing into business maybe like crowdfunding other business and the like.

As for my part, that is why I also quoted this because aside from my crypto investment I'm also investing into stock market and maybe real estate in the future. I thought of investing into Bonds as well but seeing its annual yield, I just decided to put my money into stock market (REITS in particular). But to answer you OP, since you are in a Bitcoin forum I think just focus on the top 10 coins but first at least have some knowledge because it will help you in your investment journey and it will you prevent getting scammed as well Smiley.

Northport import Artis is a monster but he is so tired already in the overtime while the rest of his team mates can’t make the crucial 3points except on Arwind Santos first successful 3 points attempt when they are behind by 10 points. Malonzo should shoot that ball or wait for Pogoy contact since since he is already in the position with enough time to release properly the ball. It’s so sad to see the face of Artis losing despite his efforts to win the game .
I just want to say something about the phrase that I bolded. We've seen Artis played the whole game already and he doesn't want to rest for some reasons even though Coach Pido wants him to get rested.

Now again he played the whole game and he is also a human and he can get tired as well and we've seen it tonight. There is also a play where he drove to the basket but fell down because of fatigue and it caused them turnover. I don't know but I think Artis might think of giving himself some rest as well because in crucial times like this, he can't perform well unlike in TNT where they still have players who are fresh off the bench in case somebody is tired.

Now that the eliminations are over here are the picture of the bracket

Now the NorthPort and Phoenix will fight for the final spot and it will happen after 2 days. Do you think that this will be enough for Artis to rest knowing that he played 53 minutes tonight??

The Nets routing the Sixers should be a good reason to never speak as if the result is already determined even before the game started just because they are "the best" or on a "good run". At least check the roster and see who will be playing. It's no surprise that KD and Irving could pull off a win since these two are scoring machines. They didn't put up big numbers but it was enough for a convincing win. Great job by Seth Curry too.
If the Nets are complete, they are a championship team we know that but unfortunately they aren't and both Kyrie and KD only played 6 games together where they are 4-2.
I think the Nets really has a high chance of getting the win against the Sixers and the boo's on Simmons? I mean we expected it already. The 3 things that I didn't expect to happen is:
1. The tribute of the Sixers to Simmons which is very opposite to what we are often seeing when we see all-star players being traded to another team. They showed to him his flaws when he is playing and his inability to shoot which I find embarrasing.
2. The boo's of the Sixers fans towards the players themselves. I mean they are playing at their home and yet they will receive boo's from their crowd? The Knicks fans didn't boo their players when they got blew up their 24 point lead against the Nets but them.
3. The outcome of the game. I expect that this game will be a close match since we might see a possible good match-up in the playoffs but what happened. Embiid and Harden shot 8/34 on the field. Probably not their night and I hope that if they will be matched together in the playoffs, it will not be like this again.
3451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 10, 2022, 02:08:16 PM
That's some stats for Nikola Jokic securing a win for the Denver Nuggets.
35 minutes. 38 points. 18 rebounds.  Shocked 7 assists. This dude is trying to lock the MVP award for him.
Foul trouble, that's the Kings' issue when defending the MVP candidate. Alex Len is not too careful at how he guards him and they don't have a backup center. Lyles tried but not enough to stop the monster. Fox chased the lead but he lacks time even if he can do it all. 32 points for the fastest guy in the league.
Jokic is literally carrying his team and with how he is playing, I'm thinking that he deserves the MVP more than Embiid.
Embiid has a higher PPG but in terms of efficiency and other stats such as Rebounds and FG %, Jokic has better numbers than him. I think the MVP race this season will be between Jokic and Embiid.

A near triple double again for him. I also hope that he will win this year's MVP so he can get a back-to-back MVP's which I think he deserves right? Smiley

Yes, and it will be a close fight for the MVP race again, I doubt that there will be no unanimous MVP because it will be close between him and Joel Embiid. But I do agree that it we weight the totally of the statistics, Jokic ha a good number overall. And then he is carrying the team with himself alone, as compare to Joel who has Harden. So for me, he deserves to win back to back, just saying.
That also as well will make the chances of him winning the MVP title again increases.
The fact that he is the only one carrying the team with no all-star player beside him and they are the 6th spot is just amazing already. Also seeing the record of both 76ers and Nuggets as of this moment, the Nuggets are 2 losses only behind the 76ers.

With regards to unanimous MVP, I don't think that it will happen or it will happen again but maybe in the next years but not this year. When Steph got the unanimous MVP, its pretty obvious at that time because that is the time where the Warriors are just sweeping teams after teams and he is performing at an all-star level that season. Now many players are competing from it but I'm betting for Jokic to win with the title as long as his performance will retain like how he is playing right now or as long as he will not get injured.
3452  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Now it's meta here and there on: March 10, 2022, 01:05:30 PM
To all newcomers on here pls be careful with projects that start with the name "META" because they are mostly scam projects, since metaverse have become another hot cake in crypto world today this scammers are fully ready to use this on the unknowns, open your eye and do good research before taking that risk... Meta this and mate that are the most dangerous projects today, stay safe.
ICO's are the hype a few years ago. Many developers and fake ones created their own project and scammed people.
IEO's are the hype a few years ago. Many developers and fake ones created their own project and scammed people as well.
DeFi's are also the thing a few years ago. Many people created their own DeFi project and scammed investors.
Now aside from Meta-thingy, NFT's are also the hype as of this moment but now decreasing. We've also seen different projects that ended up as a scam.

My point? Whether it is related to metaverse or related to NFT or whatever that is hype, there will be investors who will get scammed anyway. We are always educating people to do research and do this and do that but still there are some who are falling into scammers. Most of them are doing common ways to scam people but there are some who are falling into it. Being knowledgeable before investing will help you not get scammed so learn first.

"I was not born into a rich family, nor am I one who will receive much inheritance from my parents and I have to work hard to make ends meet." At least that's a sentence from my friend that inspired me to make this thread.

I honestly feel that the sentence above is one of the saddest sentences to hear when someone starts talking about their economic condition. It is clear that everyone is obliged to work to support himself and his family, but when they neglect investment then I believe that these people will never get rich except by a miracle of God.
I can relate with this as I know many people around my place who doesn't know or no idea regarding investment.
I want to teach them since I'm already involved in investments but I don't see any initiative with them or I don't see that they are interested either. I think that they are just happy with what they are doing. Just work hard 8 hours a day or even most just to have some money to be used in their daily lives. Work hard and repeat with no investments at all.

Investing I mean not just crypto investing, but any investment he likes. This allows one to make good profits in the future. That is, the more assets that can be invested, the greater the bright hope for the future. I've heard stories about investing $1000 in crypto making someone a billionaire before (in our fiat currency), and it's a fact to say that don't expect to get rich without investing unless you are the heir to rich parents.
Look at the rich people right now. They worked at first to have some money but aside from that, they learned how to invest in different ways. Now those rich people are invested into business and that is also an investment. I mean working without any investment at all will not make your life better that is why I'm working but at the same time investing a portion of the salary I get into different investments.

Looks like Terrence Romeo will soon have a problem regarding the investment scam where he is involved.

Terrence Romeo sued over bounced check in poultry business

Quote
San Miguel Beermen player Terrence Romeo was sued over a bounced check and a failure to deliver on a promise of returns on investments.

advertisement
According to Emil Sumangil's report on "24 Oras", Marco said he invested in P10 million in a poultry business with a guarantee that it would yield 25% a month.
You can also watch the video in the link for full details, we are talking of 10 million pesos here from one person only or a representative of a group.
Let me know your thoughts and reaction about this news.
I've watched the news on Youtube regarding this incident and just by seeing the yield that investors can get in one month, I already know that it will not last long especially now that we are at the pandemic or for whatever reason. I see it not sustainable for too long.

25% per month? Most of the popular assets right now can't even give a double digit yield or if they can, they can't do it for a long time. On the other hand though, I don't want to conclude to this because maybe they will make a settlement regarding this and will give back the investment to its investors but I doubt that it will happen. Either way, this issue might affect him but not so much. Remember Thompson's issue? Jalalon's issue? Belga's Issue? Right now nobody is talking to it already and it will be the same here.

After Lebron James, we watched a similar performance by Kyrie Irving last night against Charlotte Hornets. He scored 50 points in this game and that was really incredible to witness. And his field goal and 3-pointer accuracy was so high that it was fabulous. He scored 9 3-pointers which was amazing. Irving is a very special player undoubtedly. But he is able to play in only away games which is a big problem for Nets. I hope that he stops being obstinate and takes the covid-19 jab as soon as possible.
That was the biggest production of Kyrie Irving this season, Durant does not attempt a lot in that game and he just let Kyrie with the hot hand torch the Charlotte. They deserved that win, after their struggle, finally they have a big win and I hope to see them continue winning to earn the momentum going to the playoffs.

Seems that he's been awakened after that huge performance from LeBron and Tatum. Now it's Kyrie who made another

magnificent performance. It's good to see that his teammates are supporting him, knowing that he really has the hot hands during that game

and with the help of other role players who are behind him and KD, they manage to win and stop the losing streak.

Kyrie is always capable of doing that,  but now that Durant is playing with him, he is more inspired because they are just supporting each other. As the playoffs are approaching, they need to be more consistent and I'm sure I'll be putting my bet on them everytime.
And with the restrictions regarding vaccinations likely to be over, I think Kyrie will have the opportunities to play games more often than now where he can only play on road games which I find very inefficient knowing that he is one of the star players of the team.

I can't remember the last time Kyrie scored at least 50 in a single game until now and I know that he is capable of doing that. Another thing that I saw is Drummond's numbers this game. It seems like the smack of Plumlee in his face made him score and rebound way more than the usual although we know that he is capable of getting those though especially in the rebounds. He is a double-double scoring machine back when he is in Detroit. Still waiting on how Simmons fit for the team. Will he be a good fit for the team. Will he be a good addition to the team. Either way, I just hope that this is the start for the Nets team.

The LOSING STREAK IS OVER!!!!!!!!
The Blackwater Bossing ended their 29 game losing streak as they won against the top team right now Magnolia 101-100.
I've already said it in my previous post that Blackwater will give a lose to Magnolia. Not precise though as I thought the Bossing will give them the first loss but they lost to the NorthPort but at least they give them a loss.
Magnolia is still undefeated and which team will give their first loss to them?? BLACKWATER will be the one who will give their first loss to them that's for sure and I might even bet for them if BlackWater and Magnolia will match-up Cheesy. Kidding aside, I think the Meralco Bolts can give their first loss to them. They defeated all the strong teams already like TNT, GSM, and even NLEX.
And in case you can't believe it here are some screenshots that I took while watching it live on my smartphone.

Their first win since October 17, 2020. Barroca gave them the lead 100-99 but he also is the reason why the Bossing also got the lead because of his costly turnover. Well, I just hope that @goinmerry is ok right now because his favorite team's streak is finally over.

What are you people suggesting, is this time to buy bitcoin or a time to just to have sold and wait for another bull market because this time will be more of the bears than bulls while the bulls are turning to bears making the market not to favor the upside.

Please, give accurate information as you are think it can be, we all still know that bitcoin price will rise and reach ATH again.
Accurate information = certainties isn't it since you are asking for an information that has a high chance to happen. Well, certainties in the market is irrelevant and not applicable because it is only possibilities that can happens. We know that no one knows what will happen.

I remember my 2 friends just last week who bought Bitcoin at its peak. They shared it to me and told the mistake that they've done. Now they are a lose since thy bought at the peak. I just suggested to buy Bitcoin when the price is near or below $40,000 at least the risk is lesser and the reward is higher. Bitcoin will rise again and reach new ATH. Its only a matter of time when it will happen.

Just right now, Bitcoin is at the $42,000 price because of the leaked statement coming from Biden with regards to crypto but I doubt that it will sustain it because this might be a false breakout and we will go below $40,000 again in the next few days.

100k energy na yata  per train kapag nasa tier 9 .  Sakit na sa energy kapag inupgrade ang mga inner force, apat yan x 5 kaya abot din ng 2M energy ang kailangan para maging ready to promote to tier 10.  Yun nga lang ang problema wala spirit treasure akong nakita para magpabilis ng gather ng energy puro sa pet lang.  Kaya nakikita ko nito habang tumatanda ang server mas magmamahal ang energy dahil sa pataas ng pataas ang consumption habang nagpoprogress ang character kaya dapat talagang mag-ipon na ng energy ang mga alt para ibenta.
Just to add lang sa mga pampabilis ng Energy Gathering, meron din pong Energy Gathering Boost sa Spectrumite kaso need mo muna mag level 85 at Tower of Quintessence Level 12 para makapagsuot ka ng spectrumite.

With regards naman sa training ng Inner Force, talagang masakit sa energy yan kasi kahit ako ung 2M kong Energy ko na naipon mabilis rin na naubos kaya if may alts kayo pwede nyo rin pag Energy Gather AFK tapos ibenta sa market kasi talagang kakailanganin un ng mga top players at wala silang time para mag gather dahil mas pipiliin pa nilang mag pa-exp kaysa sumayaw sayaw (energy gathering).

Is it better to trade NFT tokens rather than holding it for longterm?
I'm invested into some NFT tokens and metaverse tokens but I have no plans of holding them in the long term but maybe in short to mid term.

The NFT hype is over already (I think) and we are now seeing those NFT games that survived the onslaught. On the other hand we've seen some NFT games as well that turned out to be a scam because they rug-pulled. In the end, I don't think that taking our advice seriously will help you. It would be better if you will do your own research as always because its your own money.
