After dealing with his mental problem, now Simmons is having a back problem. What the F is wrong with that dude? I'm thinking that he doesn't wanna play at all with his new team but... well I hope that isn't the case.

Either way, it seems like its Kyrie's night as he scored 50 against the Hornets on the road. I think that the Nets team are really good when even Simmons isn't playing because they are somehow a better defensive team after the Simmons-Harden trade because of their additional players. I just hope that Simmons will play as soon as possible because many are waiting for him. Many Nets fans are waiting for him to play.

With how he is playing right now, I'm thinking that Jokic deserves the MVP more than Embiid this season. Well, its just my opinion though and I'm just looking at their stats .
Anyway, not a bad game for the Warriors though as they played with most of their players especially their all-star players out (maybe because of load management). Denver is playing good right now and Jokic is carrying the team but the question is can he still carry the team in the playoffs. Is there anybody knows if Murray will come back this season or at least in the playoffs or even just MPJ?

On the other hand, the Warriors are 2-8 in their last 10 games and now at the 3rd spot. I don't know if its only me but I think that adding Thompson to their rotation just made the team worse than what they are without him. I mean I know how helpful Thompson is with the team but Poole for me is more efficient than him especially in the offense. I hope that they will make some adjustments with this and hoping as well that Draymond will come back as soon as possible because this team is lacking a floor general like what CP3 is doing in Phoenix.

Correct me but I don't think that there is any difference from the Bounty campaign right now and what it was 3-4 years ago where ICO's are the most popular ones.
The only difference I think is that there are more projects right now that are either scam or aren't paying the bounty hunters etc.

Bounty Campaigns in 2018 aren't the same as now as the amount of money a hunter can get in a campaign is lower than what it is a few years ago. I still remember me joining in one translation campaign and I got tokens that had a value. Held the tokens for a moment hoping that it will rise but it didn't. I exchanged that tokens that I got and bought a new smartphone because of it.

Well, that is what most of the time happens when a gambler can't control himself and become addicted to gambling.
I've seen people online that got addicted in gambling to the point that they will borrow money to their colleagues and will sell most of what they have just to have money to use to either recover their losses or to just gamble itself because they are addicted already. Ending? They will be depressed and I don't know if there are some who are committing suicide because of it but I hope they aren't thinking of it.

I think there are laws in every country regarding gambling but with gambling right now mostly online already because of the pandemic, I doubt that the government can make law improvements especially with the age limit that is allowed to gamble. Gambling can change your life positively or negatively and as an adult and as a gambler, we should know the consequences that gambling might give to us.

Lets make it short and concise but profitable at least for the next 3 years.
50% BTC, 25% ETH, 25% distribute it to the top 10 coins.

I'm more of a conservative investor than an aggressive one that is why I prefer investing in the top coins as they have the lowest risk but at the same time they give a low reward. Well like most are saying here, learn first and know the risks that you might face whenever you invest your money. Learn what can happen and absorb it so that you will not feel anything when the worst thing happens. Be emotionless when you are investing and like I said, stay on the top coins .

After winning 6 straight games, the Bulls have lost 5 straight. It seems like the absence of most of their star players like Ball, Vucevic and Caruso is being felt. With their losing streak, they are now at the 4th spot and 4.5 games behind the top spot.

With the Sixers, they are 5-0 when Harden is playing with them and he is averaging 12.4 assists in his last games which is very insane. His gameplay really shifted from a prolific scorer when he is in Houston to a shooter and passer when he is in Brooklyn and he carried it now that he is in Sixers. I just hope that he will not get injured during the playoffs because it will be a huge loss if he will not play at that moment especially now that many are betting for them to win the championship.

---

Just to add, with the Spurs win against the Lakers, Coach Popovich tied with Don Nelson in the most number of regular season wins and he will surpass it this season so advance congratulations for him already.
The Kings have had their 16 losing seasons in a row and that is the longest in NBA history: LINK

I will call myself hypocrite if I will pick Cardano with this even though I'm holding it and staking as of this moment. Cardano is a good project. The only problem that many seeing is that their updates are very slow but they are doing it slowly but surely and they don't want to put an update that might lead to the downfall of the project that is why they are doing is slowly.

TBH, its hard to pick 2 of the coins that you want to sell because all of them are very good long term coins especially that all of them can give you passive income thru staking. I will not pick any of them because they really are a good source of passive income so I would suggest adding some capital from you and just use that to buy other tokens .

I still remember the time where just a single negative news that will be posted in the internet will make the market go down double digit percentage but at the same time, a positive news will make the market go up as well.
The point is, we are learning. We know what to do when FUDS or negative news are on the internet. We are maturing. We know how to stay calm if there is a storm (FUDS). Though there are some investors who are still panicking, most of us just remain patient and calm and let the market do its thing.

Maybe if the Ukraine-Russia war will end this month then probably.
I don't know but it might have an effect towards what is happening now because when Russia declared war, market went down and days after it went up. Maybe if there are some good news then it might help the market to recover or.... maybe we will just see the market recover out of nowhere. We've seen it happened many times already that market is going up without any reason whatsoever.

They can but it will just a band-aid solution.

The sanctions that other countries have been put to Russia really is severe that will affect the country in the long run especially the people out there that is why they are protesting to stop the war as well because they are the ones who are suffering the most in the current war that is happening. They can adopt it but I don't think that all of them will accept it as not all of the people out there can access it but even though they will try to adopt it, their economy will still suffer and will suffer even more in the future as sanctions are being given to Russia.

Aside from OKC, I think the Rockets is also tanking this season as well to get better draft picks in the upcoming draft.
Another thing too is that, there is nothing to expect from them because just by looking their roster and you will already know if they will be a championship contender or not. Like I said, they are tanking this season so that they can get better draft picks.

With regards to their current line up, I think they are developing Green and KPJ for years and maybe they might let Wood stay because he is an efficient big that can shoot outside as well. If they fail to develop these 2 players then they really need an all star to led the team but as of this moment, they are developing these 2 because these will be their all-star players . Lets just give them some time then we will see if the risk was worth it or not.

Rug pull? Its far from that.

We've seen people donating Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and even DOGE to their address and they successfully donated much that will help the country.
There is somebody who also made a Ukraine flag NFT and they bought it and the money went from the government.

This is the short definition of a rugpull base on Coinmarketcap. LINK

I didn't see any developers here nor a project and no run away with investor's funds. Investors and donators donated the money because they want to help and calling it as a rug pull is very irrelevant and out of the topic. Lets just think that all of the money that they got has been given thru initiative and not because they want to invest in a project whatsoever. There is no project here but just a donation and those who want to donate will just donate.

Good advice that is why I'm just holding only the top coins.

I'm only holding the top coins because I don't want this to happen to me. I still remember a time where I got a token from bounty campaign and fortunately the token got a value. I decided to hold it for quite some time and forgot about it until I remember that token and I found out that they already changed their chain and I forgot about it and didn't exchanged it until now. Right now I don't know if the tokens still has value yet but I chose to forgot the tokens already luckily the value isn't that high (only 2 digit value I think).

For me, its easier to be updated if you will just focus on the top coins as you will see the updates immediately in the internet because of their popularity that is why I chose to HODL just the top coins. Lower risk, lower reward and you can see the updates easier as websites will post an article about it.

The expectation towards this 76ers team is very high right now that they got Harden with the team and it seems like he really is a perfect fit for the team as we saw in their last 4 games in which they haven't lost a single game. He scored a double double 25 points and 11 assists.

It seems like the 76ers have already built a big 3 that will be developed for the next years. Harden, Embiid and now maybe we can add Maxey to the discussion since he is averaging 26.7 PPG since Harden started playing. The Sixers really made a good decision in just develop Maxey than keeping Simmons who really doesn't want to play with this team anymore.

Well, it seems like he is already decided with his decision and I think there is no other way to end his stint this conference than giving the team a win plus a dunk from him. Looks like the import of NLEX isn't Terrico White like what has been posted online but its Cameron Clark. I hope that he can help the team especially in the playoffs.

Not only the 2 of them are eliminated as even Rain or Shine already eliminated from the playoff contention because NorthPort got a victory against Terrafirma where they put themselves to 5 wins against Rain or Shine that has only 3 wins with one game remaining.

The game between Meralco and SMB has been finished and SMB get away with a victory after a 24 point deficit at the halftime. Shabazz Muhammad is just a monster this night scoring 57 points and 19 rebounds. If you watched the last minutes of the game, you will see how Chris Ross is good at defending. He forced Bishop to turn over the ball twice which are very crucial and caused them the victory.

I'm a very emphatic guy and I feel bad for the Ukranians for what the Russians is doing to them.
On the other hand though, I believe that there are more capable people more than me who are willing to donate Bitcoins to them.

Well I've seen a twitter tweet regarding a user from Ukraine that is asking for funds that will help them but turns out that it is a scammer. Scammers really don't have a heart or at least empathy don't they? They know that a country is suffering already and yet they took it as an opportunity to scam other people who are willing to help. If you really want to help then at least double or triple check and ask some people if it really is the official donation address of Ukraine or it really came from Ukraine and not from scammers.

I think and I believe most of us here in the forum are intelligent people and we can distinguish which are scams and which are not .

It already happened but we don't know that it will happen because we don't have a crystal ball and we don't know what can happen in the future.
Days after the war started, Bitcoin and the whole market went up already though as of today Bitcoin is down at least 4% IIRC.

Now to answer the question, maybe this might be a good time to invest into it but if you are patient then maybe you can buy if Bitcoin is near or below $40,000. As long as Bitcoin is near $35,000, I think its still good to buy. Best thing to do still is to dollar cost average and just hold.

Nahhh don't see the number of coins in Coinmarketcap or Coingecko because that number will just continue to increase since new projects are being created daily.
If that huge number of coins keeps you confusing or you are getting overwhelmed, there is a solution for that and is to just focus on the top coins especially in Bitcoin.

Well, you consider yourself as a newbie and I don't recommend investing into a coin when you are starting but invest in knowledge like most of us are saying. Investing in knowledge really is the first step if you really want to invest especially in a very volatile market like crypto. After that, hmmmmm maybe invest in your emotions and I mean be emotionless when you are investing because being emotional when investing most of them times leads to huge losses. After doing and learning both of them then you're good to go because the rest will just be base on your experience and as time goes by, you will learn more and more.

Even the New York native Stephen A. Smith really disgusts the team already after praising them especially in last season where they entered the playoffs and even though they lost in the first round, he is still optimistic with the team all throughout until he made his epic rant online (I repeated that part many times and laughing at the same time).

The Knicks and the Lakers are fighting for the most disappointing team this season. The Knicks got as high as 16 point lead against the Sixers and they blew that out again and lost. Now the Lakers lost 7 straight games against the Clippers as they lost again by 21 points.

They want to trade Westbrook already during the last trade deadline last month but because of his high salary and his next year's salary, no team was willing to trade with them and they didn't made any moves at that moment. Well, they don't know that this will end up like this. They are hoping for Westbrook to help the Lakers get a ring alongside Lebron and AD but sh*t happened. The highest position that they can get maybe is in the play-in tournament and I don't think that they can ever get the 8th seed especially now that the Clippers are 5.5 games above them.

#TradeWestbrookNextSeason

SMB prioritized younger players over anything that is why they traded their 2 old players Santos and Cabagnot and I don't see it as a wrong decision because it is what the management believe is the best decision for the team. Even though its hard for them to let go, they really need a roster change.

I don't see it as a wrong decision to me because even though the 2 of them are still there, they aren't as efficient as they was years ago and maybe they really need to let go of him for some personal reasons. On the other hand, NorthPort really is utilizing him so much. He is helping those young players with his experience and at the same time, he really is efficient and is helping the team. In the end, both teams benefited in their own ways. NorthPort got Santos who really is playing very efficient this season and SMB got some younger and talented players like Manuel, Enciso and now Cruz.

I still remember the time where we are in a group chat where we always talk about EOS and because of that, it comes to the point where I taught of borrowing money just to buy EOS.
Good thing that the person who I want to borrow money with to buy EOS refuses to lend money to me because at that time, the price of EOS was at its peak (around $20). Because of that refusal, I didn't bought any EOS and it was a blessing in disguise for me. I just went in Coingecko to see the chart and it has only going downwards and no development at all. The once labeled ETH killer is now dormant with no updates.

Aside from EOS, I still remember some are talking about IOTA and its new technology "tangled" (correct me). Now the coin that is once at the top 10 is at the top 50 already (same with EOS). I can't remember some but we've seen some top coins from the past that is now at the bottom 50 or bottom 100 already for some reasons. Others are ICON, NEM and YFI.
