I will never understand the point of this "sport".It is fun to watch but I wonder how these guys do not get mad after so many slapping and start an even more brutal fight.Even ladies do this and I found it ugly for women to beat each other.

It's not much different from boxing, this one is even lighter because we don't see blood... so even children can watch it: D
But I understand that getting slapped and not fighting back at the same time (just like getting punched in boxing) requires a lot of self-control.

I didn't find any bookmakers for this "sport"... crypto or fiat.

Needs a lots of concentration to control yourself while accepting the heavy slap that being thrown to you.

It's more on trying to stand still even the pressure is really hard, not saying that I'm not enjoying this but I just saw some shared post  from
my social media account with this kind of sport.

Just watch a little and move forward not really attract my attention that much.

Wrong. It's not only for the rich.
It comes down to how you will manage it.

You don't buy coins using your budget for daily needs. You buy them with your excess money instead of keeping them in banks.
That way, you want to make a profit by taking some risk. Fear is what makes others sell. Greed could also be one reason behind it.
I had been holding Ethereum for a long time and it didn't occur to me that this kind of value will happen.
My target was $1k but I didn't sell. Why? Because I don't need it yet, that's my spare money that was used to buy it and now it's still growing.

Planning your investment will help you to survive whatever kind of trends are happening inside the market.

You said it right, using spare money mostly the key factor by those who managed to maximize their profits, they are not in need as they continue
holding their asset and see how huge the market brings to them.

If you have that same invested money, there's no need doing anything. Keep your investment for long term journey and it will materialized favoring you.

Although that is hard for people to move on from gambling, they must do that if they do not want to gamble and regret their loss.
It's a must to quit before you lose everything, regret shouldn't be the last thing in mind but a much healthier lifestyle away from gambling.
Quote

But unfortunately, not many of them can do that as they are still thinking about recovering their losses in the next few days.
Indeed! they are keep thinking of best way to recover, it's circling inside their minds to try  winning out from the gambling house.
Quote
They need to have an effort to stop gambling for some time and thinking about how much money they already used and must forget about their losses.
Assessment, it's always important to do this once in a while, gamblers should be more responsible thinking on how to minimize time and money that they are spending from this activities.
Quote
Maybe they need a second chance to start a new life than to just back to gambling so they can have the opportunity to have a better life.
They need to make a stand, choosing a life away from gambling is far better than spending everything that they've got just for this vices..

^^ I got the Warriors ML @2.36 too. I think Curry will continue with his hot hands, but yeah, I agree this is going to be an interesting game.

New York Knicks is also underdog vs Memphis so I might take that risk. We all know that they are the hottest team, why not? ML @2.33.

Both teams are good being an underdog, GSW are fighting hard to stay with the competition so with the pelicans.

While with the Knicks, they are still very impressive especially the Trio of Randel, Barrett and DRose they are really playing with a great chemistry,
jiving with each others and all those role players who support this three stars.

Both Odds are good to take the risk, Best of luck!

Ive seen so many shitcoins but these are the few that you should be aware of;

-SAFEMOON
-MEME DAO

As we all know that shitcoins are just created for fraud, for fund raised money and has a flawed fundamental and low credibility.
Those shitcoins produced a lot of money already and many scalpers already made a huge profit, but looking at their history the price started to go down which is a normal scenario for a shitcoins, whales are already taking profit.

I don't believe on any shitcoins despite of its hype, yes I might got profit easily but I don't know when to buy and sell because it is being manipulated, so risk takers must do their own analysis before dealing with the shitcoins. There's so many shitcoins to mention right now, and most of them are under the Smart Chain network, its quiet alarming.

Unless there's reliable source or their some insider from the developing team coming from that shit project,
the assurance maybe much higher on a profitable side. Information before the hype or pump, it will give you easy profits.

But for sure risk still there as scammers and pump and dump groups always chase for money, you never know if they truly telling the truth or just alluring you.

Best thing to keep your eyes away from this kind of project and focus only with those solid coins that have good foundations.

It's big news when the Lakers lose because there's a big expectation from them, AFAIR, they opened up as the favorites in winning the NBA championship this season, but now, I don't know what their odds are already.

Still one of the favorites. It's just that this injury that happened on their main cast affects their standing.

Lebron missed 20 games and that was huge. They might be ended up with a play-in. The remaining games are critical, they need to win.




Indeed! as long as LeBron continue playing and they are still inside the competition there are still many fans
and believers that Lakers can still depend that title,

It's those injuries that affects their performance coming to the next round, but once they've settle this up and start playing with a much
healthier squad.

Moving to the next round might tough, but it's the Lakers that we are talking here, they still have the skills and all the necessary
needs to compete and win to whoever team that they will face in this incoming playoffs.

Safemoon looks very much Pump and Dump coin like Doge coin so invest what you can afford to lose, highly risky but extremely cheap, supply is in Trillions so I don't think it can make us Millionaire but who knows crypto Market is full of Magic and highly unpredictable, You never know what tomorrow brings for you. I also invested small amount in it that I can afford to lose. Technically speaking, it has already bottomed out and good time to take entry but at your own risk because I am not a Financial Adviser.







The catch that the value currently is still cheap and you can spare some money, amount that you can easily
forget then taking some and store it might work.

There are many projects that have same a like with this coin, like you mentioned it's moving just the same way
Doge move, you'll never know what future brings to this asset.

DYOR and make sure that you bring your nerve once you decide to invest to this project.
3568  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Role of Cryptocurrencies in Pandemic Times on: May 02, 2021, 08:30:29 PM
Pandemic has had a very negative impact on our lives. Many are now at home due to job loss or lock down. Our income source is closing down but spending is increasing.
Spending is really getting higher while the sources of income is limited, this pandemic affects the economy and most of the jobs are not available.
Quote
In such a situation, our life has become very difficult. Like you, I'm lucky to be involved with crypto and have been able to make some money from home during these difficult times.
Yeah right, having longer time in-front of your computer chasing those available venue to earn brings more people inside this market, hoping to have additional source of finances, crypto bring some lift to those who find this industry.
Quote
In this pandemic situation crypto has given me enough support so far I have not had any financial problems.
Good for you and all of us who managed to survive with the help of crypto, hope more and more people who learn about this venue of investment.

Currently, I'm checking on the Lakers, Knicks, and bucks, and will only pick one.

Hope you will pick the Knicks vs Rockets game and give your analysis on that one. I'm thinking Knicks -10, what's your opinion on that?

I could put my money on the Knicks here, they are still the hottest team in the league though their win streak is already over.
Rockets are a shitty team now, playing a back-to-back game, so most probably they are a bit tired now and a double-digit win by the Knicks is probable.

I better take this early, -9.5 is already good, it actually moved from -8 as an opening to -9.5 ATS.

Knicks are on the way even the winning streak already over they needed to continue winning to keep that winning spirit,
with how the Rockets are playing double digit lead is not hard.

The very chance that rockets already exhausted and playing against a much better team they are losing on the 2nd half once the
opponent established a good lead, rockets mostly unable to comeback.

Checking live game between Bucks and Nets, good game between KD and Giannis.
3570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 02, 2021, 07:35:25 PM
Lakers are also on the edge to be pushed to 7th position which is not a good thing when AD and Lebron just came back. They will need that rest before the playoffs to fully heal and have their A game.

Davis and Lebron were absent for a very long time, and I guess they have had enough rest. Sure, AD and LJ need to play some more matches to adapt after injuries, but these guys don't have much time for this, considering that only nine games left until the end of the regular season.

That's why there back is against the wall for now, they have to win every remaining games just to stay in the spot the problem is their next 6 games is against a very tough teams.

vs Raptors
vs Nuggets
vs Clippers
vs Portland
vs Suns
vs Knicks

Ouch!, except for Toronto, the rest are high caliber teams. So imagine what's going on Lebron's mind right now.

That's not gonna be a big problem when LeBron gets back to his groove and finds his rhythm. He could lead his team to get a few more wins to secure the 5th spot and we'll have to witness the Battle of LA in the first round If the Clippers sustain their current position lol.

I honestly don't worry much for the Lakers right now. They'll make it to the playoffs no matter what.

Lakers will be a tough opponent moving to the next round, those remaining games seems difficult as
LeBron and AD still coping and trying to condition their games.,

But with them after the next round will be another story as they are one of those few super team inside the league once they are
all healthy and they are playing as one, it's very difficult to beat this team, not even you have the advantage.

Knowing LeBron as contender he'll still going to surprise the fans. Chasing for back to back still alive as the league continue, healthy
Lakers means back to business to defend the crown.
3571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 01, 2021, 03:16:16 PM
In the match which Durant and Harden both were absent, Nets were defeated by Trail Blazers 128-109 away. Irving's 28-point effort wasn't enough for a win. Nets already guaranteed the 1/8 finals. But this was a critical win for Trail Blazers as they still have a big chance to qualify for 1/8 finals.
Nets is the underdog against the Trailblazers, the line open up at -6.5 and I'm sure many gamblers took the odds because that's already attractive and Portland covered it with more spare. And it's Irving vs CJ and Dame Time so obviously Portland really take care of it and this is a must win situation for them.

A must win for the Blazers, Kyrie alone is not enough  the help from Green and Griffin ain't enough to compete with Lilard leads Blazer.

Blazers squad blends well as they really rotate well and shared the ball, Stars and role players take their job accordingly. Great to see them playing as a team you'll see the players inside the court really jiving.

Well covered handicap, sorry lost for those handicappers who follow New Jersey Nets.

Maybe we can say that playing gambling is just for fun or entertainment, but as time goes, our reason for playing gambling can change.
Very true, along the way this perceptions change up, we see ourselves playing more and trying different strategy but not to enjoy but to win real money.
Quote
And once we see that we can win for some time, we will try to use gambling to make money. We will use more money to make money but the fact is we never make that money instead, we just lose more money.
The taste of winning decent amount of money pushed us to continue and try to chase more, the problem after that is we will deposit more than what we previously allocate for this activities.
Quote
Gambling is a way to get fun, whether we play alone or with friends so we need to have control in gambling. Otherwise, we will lose too much money without we realize.
Afterwards, you'll find yourself regretting because of losing so much fund due to uncareful gambling activities.

Bitcoin might not the one you are mentioning though adoptions for making it a good investment assets brings more investors to this market.

aside from Bitcoin, not sure if there's an alternative coin that will show up and be embrace by the whole community, where both people from crypto and financial market will co-exist using that said crypto currency.

bitcoin has become a currency all over the world without your realizing it, almost all countries have used bitcoin as an investment and now it has reached an interesting peak that bitcoin has set an example for adoption for cryptocurrencies, many countries have also made their coins stable I believe in the future there will be a currency that will be used around the world and it will be a stable coin which will definitely make transactions more secure because there is nothing to worry about when the price drops.



We still don't have one world currency because we still don't have a one-world government, every government for every country has a different look for the different currency, bitcoin as one world currency is possible but it would take so much time before it happens, a lot of things should be considered first before they consider it as a one-world currency, we should have stable internet first and a good knowledge before we have a bitcoin as a one-world currency.

Well said! every government have their own position about every matters, one government might far to happened. Bitcoin presence might an open door if most countries start to adopt this chain and embrace the entire ecosystem.

Big win for the Nuggets. Michael Porter Jr., Green, and Millsap. dominated the 4th quarter with 25-8 run until the recycling team ruined it at the last minutes of the game ending with just a 10 point lead.
Nikola Jokic had some good rest thanks to them.
Last game the Nuggets wasn't able to cover the spread, but this time they make it sure that they are going to win in a dominating fashion. Good for those who bet on the Nuggets. West top 4 teams are bringing their A-game.
I did bet for them and I maxed it at -5.5.  Wink
This maybe a strategy for Coach Mike Malone. They are trying to gain the higher seed to avoid a first round match with the Lakers where Lebron could be back anytime.
If they gain the 3rd or the 2nd seed then it may become a little easier for them to go against a hurt KP of Dallas Mavericks or any team who will win the 7th and 8th seed of the play-in tournament.
Could be one reason why they want to win every game they could while also preserving their star Jokic and avoiding fatigue.
2nd team of the Nuggets is doing great. Their defense is hardcore especially Facundo Campazzo.

Congrats! and I agree with you, Nuggets are really trying to position in much comfortable place,
Lakers are very strong once LeBron start to playback.

His rest is quietly intriguing knowing that they are now outside a comfort zone, they need to play against top seeded team. But with LeBron's healthy condition, whoever team to compete with, the chance still high for Lakers to dominate.

And with that, Coach Malone is smart enough to avoid meeting them in the first round, Just saying  Wink
3575  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do if Bitcoin hits $1m in the future? on: April 29, 2021, 01:16:48 PM
Many larger holders I know would not ever sell BTC. They would be inclined to hold it, and either mortgage it or use some kind of financing in fiat currency, based on the BTC as the underlying asset.

As to when it will hit 1m, I think that year 2024 = 500K is quite feasible. From there is just a double to get to 1m.
Of course,the volatility of the cryptocurrency is great, but now bitcoin is  one of the most popular assets in the world, so its price will fluctuate within small limits and will only grow

Still the hottest asset where more and more investors are showing interest, with that the market continue
to pump up even some correction will take place the momentum will bounce back and start gaining strength again and again.

Collaborations with institutional financial assets and reaching the attentions of more institutional investors, quite nice to see that after bridging
$60K next stop might be $100K.

We never know afterwards if fate permits that Bitcoin reached $1M, decision making is much easier then..
3576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I sell ADA for loss to buy more bitcoin at this dip? on: April 29, 2021, 01:02:16 PM
In my opinion, bitcoin is still best to be bought at around 50 - 54k since its showing huge resistance at 50k. You can buy bitcoin at dips and can take short term positions and earn profit.
Chances are that bitcoin may cross 60k in near future, though anything can happen in crypto market.

Anything can happened and it's not ours to accurately expect the next market movement. It's all about how you personally understand the coin that you invested your money, without that knowledge the next thing that will happen to you is to move blindly,

All things here inside the market are about how you manage to gather information, ADA is one of those projected project that have potentials, it's only time that will reveal whether this coins will success or not.

Take your time and assess more deeper if you are still undecided what you should do next.

~snip
There's nothing to worry because Logan Paul has nothing to loss here, he is just a youtuber that are trying his journey in boxing, and even if he is as successful as his brother in boxing, there's still no way that he can defeat an old Floyd, just a real talk.
Just a Youtuber is an understatement, although the Paul brothers are annoying they are still one of the biggest personality in the platform, they earn millions of dollars and you say that they are "just a Youtuber". I don't really care who wins or lose but I am speaking about logic here, why would Logan go for Mayweather if he doesn't get anything out of it, I am sure that there is something surprising that is going to happen.

Aside from money I'm not sure what surprise are you pointing here? Knowing Mayweather, he's always after for the money.

Whatever it is he will collect his paycheck and probably it's more enough to support his leisure and luxurious lifestyle. He won't stake his name without being compensated the way he wanted, promoters and those people behind this fight knows the characteristic of Mayweather.

After all, it's just another exhibition fight where the losers are those who pay for it, both fighters will get their shares win or lose.

After 10 years of missing the playoffs the Suns are now back sealing it with a win against the Clippers.
The last time they were in it was with Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire.

Yes, it's been a while. Booker is already the best cager in this team but Chris Paul is the one who brings this team to a much higher level. His leadership is so effective that he was able to extract what's more from his teammates. No doubt about his leadership skills and we have seen it on his previous teams. His previous teams, OKC and Rockets are now already out of the playoffs picture.

Wishing them good luck in the playoffs but I don't see them entering the Finals, who knows though as the ball is always round.


The ball is round and many times it happened, no one thinks that Raptors will be lucky facing the stars injured GSW,
while The heavy favorite Clippers loses their West finals birth against the Nuggets.

Moving back to that topic about CP3, he's competitiveness brings new challenged with his teammates,
Agree that Booker already performing but now he's improvement is far better.

The only question is if they can continue this winning attitude, playoffs is a different story players are more dedicated trying to advance to the next level.
3579  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is bitcoin the best one to invest in? Or am i too late? :( on: April 28, 2021, 05:07:57 PM
Hi
I was just wondering if it was too late to invest into Bitcoin atm?
Or should i invest into a different crypto.
Been through a few threads some say it is some say it isnt.
Please help
Thanks.


No one is late in crypto world he/she just have to wait for the right time to sell their coins. Yes you are late for this bull run which is gone and in result bitcoin is trading currently at 54k$. So wait for bitcoin’s dump then buy coins as much as you can then hold for 6-8 months with you and then sell at good profit. If you want to invest right now then invest your money in other altcoins which has potential to grow in future.

Not late if you are aiming for that long term holding, the chance that Bitcoin will continue rise is very possible.

though investing in other alternative projects are also considerable if  you don't have that much of invested money, you can pick from the top 20 alternative projects where can also bring you huge profits, assets that have good fundamentals and continuous development.

Research and build you knowledge as a good foundation of your investment journey.
3580  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coins are good for investing? on: April 28, 2021, 04:38:47 PM
Binance Coin
Stellar
Cardano
Xrp
Doge

All the altcoins I mention I can recommend because they have been around for more than 3 years in the cryptocurrency market. Since experiencing a bearish or bullish market, these 5 altcoins have become the ones that are much interested by people. the most important thing when you invest must know when is the right time to invest. during a bullish market like today is it right for you to invest?

Analyzing and acknowledging the current market, it's very important to know the right timing when you are investing.

There are lots of projects that are good to invest your money, all you have to do is you research and picture the full potential of your chosen assets to place your money.

Thanks for sharing, the fact that you mentioned is also good factors when investing, development and community support helps certain
project to develop and continue to provide good benefits.
