Oh god dejounte murray will be out for this year because of his ACL injury during the preseason game.

Why can't the spurs ever catch a break, they had a all-defense member point guard who was great at passing out to teammates, defend really well and rebound incredibly while having a huge wingspan making team defense better while having rudy gay and lamarcus and pau gasol with him would create a full court wingspan between them...

Now he has to sit for the whole year and spurs fans have to hope that patty and lonnnie (maybe derrick white too) is enough for the whole season, between them there is not a single starter caliber player but its spurs lets hope they found a way.

It is always sad to see a player get injured for a whole season.

Well, it is a normal thing to see demand stagnated during periods like this when market is moving sideways, as there is uncertainty, check to see the level at which volume has dropped and apparently, most people are just waiting on the sidelines to see where the market will get to break out to.

At this moment, the bulls will need to make some real good statement to be able to see participation at this moment. Nonetheless, like you said, all this is just a wild guess and if bitcoin peradventure surpasses $9k, I am sure he will come up with another excuse like he did, with his previous predictions. Sure, I won't expect too much for this year, but at least, we can be hopeful.

I have seen everyone ridiculing connor for the fight because he was not capable of defending himself against a take down and everyone talking about where khabib is from and how he did not take the insults very well and he fought really hard while connor was just making a joke out of this whole thing.

However, people are forgetting that khabib was fighting and winning while connor was out drinking and probably doing harder drugs and didn't fought anyone worthy just an exhibition match against mayweather. Connor at his worst took beating for 4 rounds and still manage to see the light at the end of the tunnel until one bad move.

If connor really prepared for years like khabib did instead of just publicity stunts, connor seems like the better fighter to me. He just needs stage time and training and he will kick anyones butt in the ring.

Apparently, no one can! But one thing that is glaring at the moment is that there is a looming crisis lurking around and anytime soon, the chances of seeing it erupt like a volcano is absolutely there. Well, as things are, the good thing for most of us is that we have the freedom due to the liberalization that the cryptocurrency space brings and that I am sure is one thing that would really bring about some good growth into this space as people tend to start escaping fiat and looking for a store of value which I so much believe is what we would eventually get to see in the long run anyway.

I believe there could not any worst situation similar to what we had experienced in 2008/2009. Fortunately at that times we did not have anything like bitcoin or any decentralized medium of exchange to protect savings against global economic melt down. Hence, even something unexpected will be happening, I guess most people here will not mind much.

Malta has always been a country that loved the foreign money income. They have gambling places which attracts all kinds of people to go there and gamble. They have online gambling certificates which means anyone can open an online gambling website and just start a business there to make it legit which also provides a lot of money to them. They have managed to get European visa for people who would want one and just ask for certain amount of money for it.

Malta is built upon the idea to make money from foreigners in general. Hence, trying to attract blockchain and crypto people by making everything on that space legal wouldn't surprise me, they would want that money to come to them as well.

Well, nothing has changed much and for what I can see, the market is really attempting to hit the maturity stage gradually which would happen very fast with regulations. ICOs will definitely still be available, new ideas from new teams will sprout in the long run, and surely we will get to see some maturity in the space as we get to see more smart investors, quality team, as well as quality  products. Those coins that are shitty in the market at the moment will in the long run have no place at all to be able to thrive and that is one thing I so much believe would happen eventually.

Yes. The thing with ICOs today is that a whole bunch of them are scam and shitty and so many of them will only end up the drain as the market gets more matured in the long run. For what it is worth, I would say only those who have real life products that would be very usable in the long run, will be able to thrive in this market as far as I am concerned, and every other shit coin, will just probably end up more like the way we have penny stocks, gets listed on some shitty exchanges and have no future at all.

With things getting regulated possibly, we will sure see a better trend of quality ICOs which obviously would bring about a reduction in the number of ICOs we get to see eventually.

The easiest way to protect my funds is to keep them on an offline wallet like trezor or ledger.

Can they be really difficult to use at first until you get used to them ? Yes. Can they be expensive as hell for small investor? Yes.

However, in the end if you are going to be in the bitcoin and crypto business for a long time than there is no reason not to keep your funds in an offline wallet like ledger or trezor. I think exchanges are fine to hold your funds as long as it is not a huge number but when the number gets bigger the risks are getting bigger as well. Hence offline wallets are the way to go.

I would say Google in the long run will always have a better ad target compared to social media platforms. I have tried the two in the past, and I can at least say that based on my analysis, Google brought in more customers several times that I tried them and that absolutely makes it applicable to any other genre anyone would want to be advertising. There is no harm in going both ways as long as you have the funds to do so, like they always say, it is better to employ every avenue and over time, see which one suit you best.

When it comes to promotion of any kind, I would say there is no need limiting oneself to just a single promotional platform. Each promotion will always have a part to play and even though I can say that Google has always been a whole lot more effective from my own side, still, it is not like when fixed on the right target market, you still will not end up targeting some other category of people outside the general internet space that Google covers.

I would say the best thing is to just take advantage of any platform you can as long as it comes to promotional campaigns.

Maybe we should say because of the wrong mindset, a lot of people have turned themselves to what they are today. We do not need a soothsayer to tell us that anyone who thinks they can make steady earning from gambling is already on the way to a huge fire and it is just only a matter of time before they ended up getting burned.

The ability to control is one thing that is lacking in most gamblers, and that is one thing that is generally not lacking when it comes to gambling impulse. The thing with gambling is that if you are not able to control, then you get controlled, as simple as that.

I understand its just preseason but seeing players like ingram giving their %100 is hyping me out. I mean we know lakers would have to get a drastic change in the direction get even close to the western conference let alone finals because they will have to face teams like okc, rockets, spurs and of course warriors just to get there but if they are lucky about the seeding they can definitely get to western semi finals and that is an amazing chance for the young players to develop on playoffs.

They had these young players for couple years now but failed to get to playoffs so with lebron and the new vets these kids will see playing time at the biggest stage of the game.

Well, that is one thing that makes the Ethereum space inflationary anyway. Nonetheless, over time, it is something we will eventually get to see fade off as regulation starts kicking, some of these shit-full projects becomes irrelevant and get thrown out of the market and we will get to see a more matured space with real life usage and massive adoption. We are not there yet, but one thing I certainly believe is that we are going to get there. The correction so far, is all based on the fact that people will always get greedy and when that happens, the possibility of the market coming back to find a bottom is always going to be there.

Even if you want to diversify into low cap coins, the essence of picking coins with potential should be your first priority and by that, I am referring to coins with real life usage. So far shitcoins are quite rampant in the market and a lot of them have no real life product and investing in altcoin itself is a huge risk that could end up profitable, but investing in a shit coin, that is like trying to commit pocket suicide. It is never going to be a difficult time when you see yourself as having a great opportunity to invest by picking the low prices which is what matters anyway.

When greed tends to kick in, the same way some of those greedy people who join FOMO tend not to want to miss out is the same way they will be panicking hugely and selling at loss, so they do not lose out. People were joining the crypto space all over the world through out last year, all in the name of wanting to get rich quick and not even bothering to understand what makes the space what it is, the fact that they should be looking at the future and the fact that they should not be joining FOMO.

Nevertheless, since people are always not so keen about learning, the chances of seeing whales play with their emotions will always be there and we will keep seeing things like this.

I would not say $10k is difficult yet, as that could be possible in the long run or short run depending on how the market would react and if we are able to see a break out and some short term movement upward, maybe there could be a chance for it.

Moreover, I would not bank on it too much, and for one thing, the market is in a state where no one can actually decide anything at the moment. Nonetheless, seeing $20k at the end of the year is like asking for a new ATH with $200 difference, which means we would have broken all the major resistance above us to be able to go to that length, which is something I do not see as possible before the end of the year.

It depends on everyone's definition of stability and however we want to see it, cryptocurrency is volatile when you are trading against other fiat possibly because fiats themselves are volatile and the fact that they are controlled does not mean they do not get to fluctuate against each other.

So, the idea of stability could be not seeing large fluctuations or not seeing fluctuations at all. if it is the former, it is definite that with mass adoption and real life usage in the long run, this is something possible, but for the latter, without no fluctuations at all, unless maybe the only thing we now spend is satoshi and everything in price is tagged in satoshi, we will keep seeing fluctuations.

It is normal to see a rise after a fall and vice versa, it is just trend of the market based on how the market is perceived at some point. So far, the perception of most people is tending towards bullish and then we are getting to see a lot of people considering the market already reaching a recovery state since a whole lot of the altcoins have bottomed out and surely it is normal for us to see some level of growth if given the chance which is what I am envisaging COULD happen before the end of the year.

Nano is one of my portfolio after it has experienced a heavy dump in recent down markets. Just getting back to its previous higher prices alone will be enough for me to have some decent returns for my investments.

A lot of bounty hunters think it is the quantity of the bounty project you are a part of that matters, but what they do not understand is that the few ones you can lay your hands on which are worth it, are far better than hundreds of shit projects put together and what the OP has mentioned is indeed what every bounty hunter should always be doing as long as they value their time and their space and would not want to waste it on irrelevant projects. The problem however with a lot of people is that they tend to just want to load their wallet with different bounties, either shitty or not.

Rank has nothing to do with how quality your thoughts are. Ranks are just showing how old you are with respect to this forum. If you refer merits then I may agree somehow .

Received. Thank you very much.

Trading that quickly is a failure to start with.

It creates chances to do out of nowhere trades and sudden moves which is the death of a trader. I think mobile phones should be kept out of trading even if that makes it easier to trade. I think a person needs to do his research to make any sort of trades, either long term or short term in the end it should be done carefully.

For you to make careful trades you need to really check the community behind the coin, the indicators, the historical data and the calendar for the future to see what it will do. If you can't check those and move right away there is a big chance you will buy a coin that might drop or not go up.

Proper digging and diligence can actually bring about 100% way of identifying ICO scams. The problem with a lot of people is they want to get rich fast, and they just assume as long as they are diversifying risks, they are good, and with that, they just keep investing in anything that comes to mind without due diligence on what they are investing in.

I would not even say in the first instance anyone should be so much focused on the whitepaper as this can be plagiarized easily these days, what is important is to look at the team, their experiences in the past, how you think they can easily fit into this equation and deliver in the long run and then, take a look at the availability of a minimum viable product, before you even start considering the aspect of going technical by reading the whitepaper.

You have not seen enough yet and nothing so far is a trap unless you want to get trapped yourself. At the moment the market is trying to find a direction and we have been seeing the $6k support holding strongly, while we keep seeing the market do some strong movement upward generally, and all this is bringing some excitement into the market as well as some optimism, but nothing is a trap as long as no one is being deceived here. If you enter the market now in an indecisive period where the market could move either ways, then that is on you.

It is still too early to start stating what will happen or not, because, certainly no one knows the future. I remember in the last attempt of bitcoin moving up in the short term, a whole lot of people were actually expecting a huge dump from there towards $5k and then, the pump just shot in and then we saw the market really doing good for a while before we are back down to the same support again and getting close to that juncture where no one can be sure of anything at the moment and how the market breaks out now is what we are all looking forward to see before making decisions.
