That is trust and faith - people believe it as it happened in the past when ATH came after halving and that kind of belief is still on their minds despite the drops. Whether it is true or not but I would agree with them and I was also expecting ATH in the coming days.
Their optimism drives them to keep calm and stay strong. But those who feel uncertain will make themselves uncomfortable.

We can say that every drop is a buying opportunity but of course, we can expect everyone will take this especially when they're done already. And I assume that most of us have filled our bags already during the last major correction.

There's always risk in gambling, it's up to you if you'll take the risk. High risk, high reward, that's what you get especially if you are betting on the moneyline. I wonder what was the betting odds when wolves were down by 20, and if someone bet on them to win straight up, that would be a lot of x....

Based on the betting odds they are likely to meet in the Finals, but we can wait, and let's see if they can beat their respective opponents because I think the Pacers and the Mavs are in the conference finals because they are also good.

Yes, it does not happen in NBA but it happen in the PBA, it's already in the history.

However, the situation was different with the current match up of the SMB now because ROS are healthy and they are the underdog in the series, unlike that time where SMB was only underdog because they don't have their best player,  but when he came back, it changes everything and they made a history.

Let us assume OP that you are not promoting this project, but don't bother to dig deeper because meme coins are just good in the hype, not in profit.
If you care about your money, you'd rather stop looking for meme coins and instead, invest it in ETH or BTC. Don't get too attracted to those people who claim that meme coins are worth it and profitable because they are not.

Smart investors look for long-term investment, not just hype and short-term.
But that is your money, anything you do is yours and in the case of losing, it is just yourselves to blame.

I have not yet seen an exchange promoting trading competition aside from the exchange (Bitget) that you have said.
Does it look interesting and courageous? No, I feel not because as a trader, we don't need to prove and no point in showing who is a great earner or challenge ourselves to be the top among others. Instead, make it a secret as much as possible, and besides, trading is not a competition in the first place as we are able to excel in trading without showing it to others. Doing this will never give us the benefits because nothing will change us, it is the company/exchange that has it.

Anyway, I just hope that all the traders who join the competition will find it helpful to themselves and their trading journey. It is a matter of choice but I chose to stay out of such things.

Reality check - we often realize that our gambling habits are not right anymore when we already suffer big losses.
In this case, we should have to pause for a while and see things that we are doing, and cut it out. Honestly, being a responsible gambler is not difficult but yes, this usually happens after having some bad experience.

Therefore, I would say that falling into addiction is an option because we can correct it if we want. Unfortunately, some just let it happen and continue doing it wrong.

And that is a wrong decision. He was supposed to think that it was not his money and he knew that people trusted him to keep the money safe and secure but with his addiction changed everything.

And this happens when we a irresponsible gamblers as we never thought this would create negative results because what is in our mind is to gamble.
Some gamblers just realize their wrongdoings after and until get caught. The sad thing is that it compromises not just their finances but also their reputations. This is how addiction could ruin one's life and be a reason why even their relatives and part of the family hate them.

Trust and patience are really what we need when vesting in Bitcoin. But having a lack of knowledge about this will certainly be full of uncertainties and not knowing what they will do next.

Until now, we are still not sure if we have already reached the ATH or not. We believe that history repeats itself and we assume that ATH will come next year but seeing the current situation, we might not know if we already missed it. But we can't lose hope and remain patient until the day the bear season starts again and then say it is over.

When we have fate, we never think about its end but if we are uncertain, worries are always in our mind and even when we try to be calm, it still bothers us, and we lose confidence.

That is why not all are able to understand the situation because they don't like the volatility of the market in the first place. Some think that buying at a dip is a wrong move but do not know that this is the right time in a volatile market.

Investing in Bitcoin is a big challenge for impatient people and a reason why even though it is proven that this is a profitable investment, many still disregard the opportunity.

At last, they notice it somehow because it is already an alarming situation that could ruin their life once they fall into early addiction. I wish this also happen in our place.

It is already time for the school to act before this situation worsens. Proper education is needed as they are old enough to understand why they should not gamble while studying. Guidance from the school and as well as from their parents will be effective in battling this issue. Let them help to understand that there is a right time for gambling, not now while they are still in school. Even if it was just a friendly game, it still influenced their mind and it will carry one if not stopped.

Casinos already paying a high percentage taxes from their income, I think that's their basic responsibility which they can say no. Gambling is not really associated with charitable works, because this is entertainment and it targets people who like to spend money and take chances. you know, it's gambling, so  not all the time casinos make money although it's true that they make money in the long run.

Personally, I never heard of a casino involve on this activity, probably it's not just the thing of this industry.

Well, OP, it is very clear to us that Bitcoin is not anti-government. That is why we don't have any reason why we should distrust holders.
I'd rather trust Bitcoin holders the government for real. If we would really think deeply, if this is against the government then all holders are already arrested and in jail but it never happens because it wasn't.

Worries can be somewhat normal and very common to doubtful individuals but for those who are old-timers, it simply disregraded.
Although we don't have data available that points out the number of holders but I believe that the majority are weak hands compared to real holders.

Wolves have the face the big crowd of Denver in game 7, so I think it will be hard for the Wolves to win when everyone in that arena except their teams are cheeing against them. They have to stay compose and let the game flow according to their play, because if Denver are gonna be the team that will start strong like having a big run, I doubt the wolves have the ability to come back.

McDaniels played great this game but he has to keep that consistency if he wants to help his team, because game 7 is another game, adjustments are gonna be made, he should be ready with that.

Just like how they played in game 2, they dominated the Nuggets again.

43-62 rebounding disparity, that's huge, it looks like Nuggets didn't travel to play as in the rebound alone, they aren't getting it done well. Also, the nuggets struggled a lot in the 3 point area as they only shoot 19% which is very low. Well, I guess now we can say that this series is really unpredictalbe, we have a game 7 back in Denver, still it's hard to predict if the home team will dominate.

I actually see an interview with a gambler who has been buying lottery tickets for more than a decade but never wins the jackpot prize.
I believe there is a destiny of winning in gambling because I see some gamblers easily win. But, we couldn't question why because this is gambling and it is all bout luck. We could think that our time to win is not arriving yet but to regret to see that some people are spending a lot of money before they hit the jackpot prize.

That is why some gamblers always think "There is next bet, maybe I was lucky". Whether it is our destiny or luck, there is time to win but the problem is that we never know when.

Good point mate!
Those who are afraid to fail and commit mistakes will never improve their life because they are not able to change their way of earning money in the first place. If we look at how these investors are doing, they always taking high risks, searching for other earning opportunities, and putting money without a doubt. But there are 2 things I see as to why they become rich aside from being risk-takers their behavior and their mindset. Despite how many times they fail, they never give up and continue their plan. We really feel how aggressive and motivated they are when it comes to business and this is lack by most of us.

That's for sure, and aside from the SMB which is already a good 3 point shooters, they also have players that could attack the paint. The 2nd unit of the SM is more than enough to beat the starters of the ROS, so I doubt it will be a long series, unless.....if you know what I mean.

That's it. People who invest having zero knowledge will end up in regret. Good thing that was just our problem because some individual had lost their money due to using the wrong wallet (fake) and scam sites.

The thing we have in our mind is not to rush from investing, we just do it once fully understand how it works and we believe in ourselves that we can do it alone. Whether you agree on me or not, that person who told you and encouraged you to invest will never take responsibility if ever you lose that is why you should know first how to take care of your money. And this is impossible if we don't have any idea about this and most it happens you sell in panic.

Well, I guess I'll follow your idea and will bet on the SMB. However, I'm quite not so confident with the spread now which is -10.5, do you think if they'll win they'll be able to cover that high spread. The game will start in less than an hour, it's a do or die for both teams but it would be disappointing if SMB's gonna loss again.

Haliburton   is not too selfish that's why he didn't carry the team. The scoring within the team is very much spread but it doesn't result in a win. I think they need to make an adjustment in game 6 so they'll bring this game to 7. I now have doubts if the Pacers have the killer instinct to be a champion because they are inconsistent sometimes. Well, I must say that these two teams are very well match up, so may the best team wins, and I think bettors just have to follow the trend, and with that said, it should be the pacers with the spread in game 6.
