You have said it wrong, even next year is still after halving and the fact that bull season is not over yet, we can still expect a big bump in its price. So we have to stop assuming that there is no ATH nor do we think that there are no price improvements after halving because it is still possible.

Of course, I believe there are experts but their expertise never means they are always right as they can be wrong as well. Just think that the market is volatile and even if we are here for a decade or even since the start, we can't still say what really exactly happened in the coming days.

Don't ask, see for yourself. Because if I say no, will you follow? The same thing happens when I say yes.
It is an individual choice and investment decision, and since it is your money, whatever you do, that is okay.

 -invest in a project if you feel confident about it but if not, better leave and look for another.

In fact, there are a lot of coins in the market, so why not choose those projects that are already established well instead of taking risks in new and meme coins? Keep your eyes open and do research as much as possible.

Gambling promotions are not getting into the right people/person but they go to different classes of the society and ages.

I would agree and support how the school and other groups creating solutions to this but this is a big challenge on their part because social media is now a leading contributing factor that influences young people (and even kids) exposed to gambling. We understand that young people support sports tournaments but on the other side, they make use of this as gambling. They are having fun with sports but at the same time, they are gambling as well (illegally).

They can educate them but the question is if they are seriously listening and following it. I see that it works when parents give their participation as well and give proper guidance.

It was not gambling but rather a suicidal action and a very wrong investment strategy. It is very usual to read and hear promising words from developers but it is never delivered in such ways, most of them turn into a scam.

Yes, I've been buying new projects in the past years when I was just new in the crypto market and this is what I experienced after having some tries, my coins just stuck in my wallet and I was hopeless to sell them since it was not and never been listed to any exchanges.

Investing is not just about buying cheap coins but what we must look at is where it was listed and our opportunity to sell them high.

 -Can a newbie make investment before learning?

Investing in Bitcoin is not as easy as we think, therefore, it is not, newbies must know their priorities first before making a move so they will never find it regretful, and then no way to blame the market for their stupidity and rush. Learning first is hereby encouraged not just to have an idea of what is this all about but for the reason that investing without knowledge is just like we are throwing our money -- a waste of time either.

We don't need to spend a lot of time doing this but at least, we have an idea of how these things work as we can't invest like gambling. But we did this for the goal of success, not failure.

 

I too agree on that, it seems like the trend is, when a team got dominated, they'll come back strong in the next game. The same thing had happened with the Knicks when they loss by a huge margin, they also flip the outcome in the next game. So the game 7 is very interesting, everyone are sure tuning on this game because it has been 5 years IIRC that no defending champion have pass the 2nd round in the playoffs, maybe Denver will break that and will be a back to back champion, so let's see.

There has been a sudden movement of handicap, as mentioned, it was -5.5 when it opened, now it's already -8.5. If this line movement is a good indication, most likely people are betting on SMB so bookies decided to move the line. Now, with -8.5, I think SMB is still capable of cover the spread if they'll win the game.

This two teams face in the regular season, SMB managed to beat them by 12 points, so if we will witness the same scenario, it's safe to say that SMB will cover the spread.

here's the boxscore on that game. https://pba.ph/recap?match=2417613

Gambling addiction will not just ruin our financial status but also our reputation and trust. Yes, a lot of stories where people use money for the group/company due to gambling habits. A lot of stories that a person commits a crime (stealing), has huge debts and sells properties in order to sustain their gambling needs.

I couldn't say gambling is bad, it only depends on the gambler. If we can't handle our gambling habits, it leads to a worse and regrettable ending.
We don't need to wait for that moment before we change our approaches, instead do it responsibly now.

Success is not measured by means of how big you earn but it measures how responsible you are as a trader.
Now we are earning a lump sum of money but if our greediness is not controlled, sooner this will also bring us down and lose everything. Success can be determined not by today but by how we bring it after many years of doing it consistently.
 - fund management
 - self-control
 - long-term plan
 - consistency

We thought before that social media was a good source of information but not now, it is a medium of scams and gambling promotions which is not good anymore, especially to our young audiences.

20$ is a good amount that these influencers get tempted without thinking about the bad impact on the community. And I hope they are supposed to know that, not just consider themselves to earn but also how it ruins other life.

It is really a need for the government and the authorities to action. It is not about stopping the gambling industry but a need to align in the right way of promoting it. I am a gambler and I started gambling at the legal age.

Factors are:
First, we consider whether cryptocurrency is legal in our country or not.
2nd, if Bitcoin is accepted as a mode of payment in major establishments or not.
3rd, do we already have an idea about crypto?

If all the answers are NO, I don't think it makes sense to accept as our job salary but instead, accept fiat money. Unless, our intention is to use this for investment and we don't after receiving this every month, then taking this option is good provided that the #1 is yes and legal.

In general, we need to assess ourselves if this is applicable in our real life.

Because a wise person choose the option where they can guarantee profit, even it was not 100% but at least a higher percentage. Indeed, this does not involve psychology as people will choose where they can profit more and surely will choose the option that is less risky. If we are not a good trader, we are certain that we don't choose to trade, the same thing happens to investing. Especially for newbies, they should have to think about their capabilities, not just thinking about their money/capital as it never works that easily, it needs good knowledge.

At this point I think money is not the most important for Canelo as he can easily find an opponent that will ensure him big paycheck. However, based on my observation, he hasn't been fighting big names lately and as we can see, most of his recent wins are easy win. If he'll fight Crawford, that sure will bring a lot of money, but who would go down or go up? That's another thing as none of these two would fight not getting the advantage to win.

There's no other players from the OKC stepping up, unlike with the Mavs where their bigs have stepped up. SGA is good as we can see on his output, but him alone carrying the team would give them a slim chance of coming back. Well, a win in game 6 would bring this game to 7,  but how sure they are they can win game 7?  I don't know, the OKC have the chance to take the lead as they are at home, but that two losses at home resulting them to be down 3-2 in the series.

OKC only shoots 25% from 3, it was suppose to be their strength, so when they struggle in that area, we know they'll likely loss.

their average this season was almost 40%.

It's too early for him to retire, if he wants to make more money, then he should take the opportunity to earn that while he is now the champion. It would be easier for him to find an opponent since he is a champion, maybe if he lose that's the time for retire, but for now, he should have a big fight next.  Davis or Shakur are good but I prefer to see Davis as the latter is very popular than Shakur, and imagine if Loma would beat him.

Don't invest if you are not ready because this is the main reason why old investors fail and lose their money as we can't invest blindly and are reliant on others, nobody helps us. So, therefore, help ourselves first to know the market more rather than rushing because in the end, we are still the ones who suffered the most, not those who told us. We act cautiously and become a responsible investor because this is the way it helps to reach our goals and succeed. We take a look at the early investor's experience and make it a reason why we should prepare more than what they did before.

They are not shy but when they share their failures, much criticism is certainly what you read which for me, I'd rather not tell anyone. Especially if you are talking about this to your friends and relatives, they will think that Bitcoin is a scam without knowing the main reason.

However, sharing success stories makes you proud of what you did. It is actually easy to share good things rather than bad things but for me, I keep silent and never share anything unless I've been asked because many don't want to see someone improved especially in our place. In their eyes, your success is a failure to them.  

Shiba Inu and Pepe coins, are just the meme coins I've been interested in in the past but those new meme coins that you have mentioned OP are out of my radar. Honestly, after earning from those coins (Shiba and Pepe) I was not able to buy any of the meme coins anymore as I lost confidence in them. Of course, some got into this and earned more but some also suffered terrible losses.

Choosing meme coins is too risky, some of them look promising but they end up scams. That is why we should be careful enough with them and I encourage you to have a deep search before investing.

Wolves coming back? Not sure about this one because they blow their chance at home, and now back at Denver where the home team are hungry for the win, I think a loss here means their series is over. They have no answer on the Nuggets so far,  2 losses and not even close, I wonder what kind of adjustment they'll make in game 5 to still take the lead in the series.

No problem with ANT man, this guy is really exeptional, but whoever is guarding Gordon, he can't be almost perfect again in game 5.

I guess the winning team has the momentum, so I agree with you that ROS is the right bet for next game. TNT hasn't been so solid this season, they have some inconsistency in some games, so this might not be a good season for them and ROS after a long time will advance in the semi.

Based on the interview on CJ, he said that this team has gotten stronger already, because before when they'll face the DYIP, they'll just say "matic", which means they know they can easily beat the team, but now it's quite different, so this last game should not be miss.
